Environmental Management Plan (EMP)

The Environmental Management Plan (EMP) has been prepared in accordance with the requirements by Department of Environment (DOE). The content of this EMP has detailed out several practices and activities to be followed and undertaken, and it is a flexible planning document which will be improved and reviewed continuously to adapt to the environmental condition throughout the project duration. There are two main factors to be observed in developing and implementing the EMP:

     i.        The objectives of the EMP must be clear.

   ii.        The commitment by the project developer/contractor to implement the EMP accordingly.

The purpose of setting up the EMP monitoring and report is to comply with all legal duties and obligation regarding the protection of the environment. It requires EMP to act as a guideline to minimize and control the environmental impact at project site in terms of:

     i.        Planning for environmental management at the project site in order to comply with legislation and the requirements of the DOE.

   ii.        Continuous environmental management at project site in order to ensure consistency in environmental plans and implementation.

 iii.        Reporting plans and actions to maintain a lasting record of environmental plans and activities at project site.

  iv.        Reviewing the practices in order to evaluate its effectiveness.

    v.        Dissemination of the environmental records and management practices to all relevant parties.

  vi.        Establishment of methodology for long term and sustainability of the environmental quality at project site.

Thus, the EMP is prepared to mitigate present and future environmental issues at project site during construction phase.
