 Chapter 1: Environment Management Plan (EMP):
1. Introduction:

The Contractors senior management team will develop an Environmental Policy for the project.
The environmental policy, as defined by ISO 14001, is a statement by the organization of its
intentions and principles in relation to its overall environmental performance, which provides a
framework for action and for the setting of its environmental objectives and targets. It will be
communicated to all employees and Sub-Contractors via site inductions and toolbox talks and will
Download HSE Docs hseprof.com

be displayed on various notice boards throughout the construction sites. The policy should also be
available to the public.

Environmental Impact Assessment has become an increasingly well-known environmental

management tool because of demands that is mounted on companies and industries to advance
upon their environmental performance. It is now a common tool in the developed nations and is
increasingly being functional in developing countries by overseas and local investors.

The EMP document can be used throughout the project life cycle – commissioning, mobilization
&construction, operation & maintenance and decommissioning. It is regularly updated to be
aligned with the project progress from commissioning to mobilization to construction to operation
to decommissioning.

EMP’s outline the environmental impacts, the mitigation measures, roles and responsibilities,
timescales and cost of mitigation. EMP is a practical and achievable plan of management to ensure
that any environmental impact during all the phases is minimized and lead in the direction of
sustainable development.

2. Purpose of the Environment management plan (EMP):

Encourage good management practices through planning and commitment to environmental issues
concerning any project;

- It tells how the management of the environment is reported and performance evaluated
periodically;
- To provide rational and practical environmental guidelines that will assist in minimizing the
potential environmental impact of activities;
- Helps in minimizing disturbance to the environment (physical, biological and ecological,
socioeconomic, cultural, and archaeological,).
- Combat all forms of pollution through monitoring air, noise, land, water, waste, and energy and
natural resources.
- Protection of sensitive and endangered flora and fauna.
- Prevent land degradation;
- Comply and adhere to all applicable laws, regulations, standards and guidelines for the
protection of the environment;
- Adopt best practicable waste management for all types of waste (liquid and solid) with objective
on prevention, minimization, recycling, treatment or disposal of wastes.

5
 - Describe all monitoring procedures required to identify impacts on the environment;
- Train and bring awareness to employees and contractors with regard to environmental
obligations and compliance.
- Reduce environmental risk and provide better Health, Safety and Environment (H&S&E).
- Increase efficiency through minimum consumption and conservation of energy deplete able
resources
- Provides with a plan answering - what, where, when, how and who?
- Establishing the reporting system to be undertaken during the construction.
- The EMP also serves to highlight specific requirements that will be monitored during the
development and should the environmental impacts not have been satisfactorily prevented or
Download HSE Docs hseprof.com

mitigated, corrective action will have to be taken.

3. What the Environment management plan must be containing?

EMP shall be including the following items:

1) Plan-Planning, including identifying environmental impacts and establishing environmental

goals.
2) Do-Implementing, including employee training and establishing operational controls.
3) Check-Checking, including auditing, monitoring and taking corrective action.
4) Act-Reviewing, including progress reviews and taking action to make needed changes.

 3.1. Environmental Supervision before Construction
Review of pollution prevention proposal: according to the process design of a specific project,
“three waste” (wastewater, waste gas, and solid waste) discharge link during the construction
workmanship shall be reviewed. The advancement of treatment technology and feasibility of the
treatment measures, which are adopted during the discharge of major pollutant and design, shall
also be reviewed.
Before the project, the final method of disposal and source of the pollutant shall be planned and
implemented specifically after reporting the responsible department of the environmental
protection as per the regulations and treatment requirements of the related document. Review of
Download HSE Docs hseprof.com

environmental protection clause in the Construction Contract: construction contractor must abide
by related requirements of environmental protection that shall be reflected in the construction
contract in the way of specific clause.
During the process of construction, strengthen supervision, inspection, and monitoring to reduce
the pollution effect on the environment during the construction period, and carry out review on the
level of civilized construction quality of the construction unit as well as construction
environmental management.

3.2. Environmental Supervision during Construction:

Iraqi Crown will conduct daily on-site supervision, e.g. whether the construction is carried out as
per clauses of the environmental protection and EMP, and whether the clauses are changed
without approval; whether the environmental protection requirement is satisfied during the
construction process by monitoring whether construction work is in line with the environmental
protection standard, and whether it is carried out as per the design requirements of the
environmental protection; whether each environmental protection measure (which can guarantee
the environmental protection requirements) is implemented during the construction process. The
main contents are:

1) Supervise water and soil loss caused by the major works and the temporary works.
Inspect whether the facilities of water and soil conservation measure up to the requirement of
design and whether soils obtained and dumped as per the procedure and location; as a key point, it
shall be supervised that the waste soil and stone during construction are not dumped to the side
slope of the mountain in order not to spoil the scenery.

2) Environmental supervision of industrial and domestic wastewater disposal:

Supervise the source of the industrial and domestic wastewater, discharge amount and water
quality index, construction progress of the disposal facilities, as well as the disposal result. Inspect
and supervise whether it measures up to the approved requirement of discharge.

3) Environmental supervision of atmospheric pollution: atmospheric pollution in the work area

mainly comes from the exhaust gas and dust produced during the construction and production
process. For the source of pollution, discharge is required to be done when it measures up to the
standard. The specified environmental quality standard shall be met in the work area and the area
under its impact measure up to relevant standard.

7
 4) Environmental supervision of noise control: In order to prevent the damage from sources of
noise or vibration, it shall be prevented as per the design requirements. In particular, for the blast
work, it is required that the noise environment quality in the work area and the area under its
impact measure up to the relevant standard.

5) Environmental supervision of solid waste disposal: solid waste disposal include industrial,
domestic trash disposal and industrial slag disposal. It is required to ensure that the site is clean
and tidy.

6) Environmental supervision of the wildlife: Prevent the impact of water and soil loss. Control
the construction as per the regulations of vegetation protection, especially the implementation of
the measures of protection and relocation of the ancient trees, as well as separation of the rare
animals.

7) Environmental supervision of people’s health: Ensure safety and reliability of the domestic
drinking water, prevent infectious disease, and provide necessary welfare and sanitation.

8) Supervision of construction and installation of the environmental protection facilities:

supervise construction of the facilities of sewage treatment, acoustic protective screen and green
work.

3.3. Supervision after Completion of Inspection:

1. Assist the Owner in the organization of final acceptance of construction.
2. Prepare the final report for the environmental supervision of the project.

3.4. Summary:
The developed EMP addresses the environmental impacts during the design, construction and
operational phases of the project. EMP outlines the key environmental management and
safeguards that will be initiated by the project proponent to manage the project’s key
environmental concerns. Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is the mechanism to ensure that
environmental considerations are integrated into the project survey and design, contract
documents and project supervision and monitoring. These are tools for mitigating or offsetting the
potential adverse environmental impacts resulting from various activities of the project. The EMP
prepared consists mainly of mitigation measure, monitoring plan and recommendations.
The EMP should consist of cost estimates for monitoring program, equipment procurement, work
force, transportation, office cost, studies, reporting, stationeries, etc.

personnel through various site inductions and toolbox talks. This will be undertaken through
proactive implementation of appropriate management and mitigation measures accompanied by
awareness and accurate monitoring practices throughout construction.

2. Scope:
The scope of the Waste Management Guideline (WMG) is to provide the general guides to the
minimum expectations as laid out.

3. Purpose:
To define the requirements for managing and controlling waste generated by any activity.

4. Waste Management Criteria:

The Company personals shall undertake the works in a manner, which aims to:
- Avoid unnecessary creation of waste.
- Reduce waste where possible.
- Reuse materials where possible
- Recycle materials.
The above is outlined in the Resource Management Hierarchy included in the Waste Avoidance
and Resource Recovery. Disposal is a last resort. Any materials, which cannot be reused or
recycled, will be taken to a waste disposal facility approved to receive that type of waste.
The Company shall not cause permit, or allow any waste generated outside the site to
be received at the site for storage, treatment, processing, reprocessing or disposal on the site
except as expressly permitted.
The management of waste on site is to be in accordance with the applicable law in Kurdistan.

8. Waste Storage and Destination Intentions

Waste and materials generated by construction activities will be reused on site where possible.
Waste (including soil/rock and fill) generated by construction works will be stockpiled on site for
future reuse where practicable.
To the extent possible, material such as concrete, steel, glass and timber will be recycled. These
items will be sorted, collected and taken to an appropriate recycling depot.
Vegetation which is required to be cleared where practical will be chipped, mulched and reused
for site rehabilitation. These waste materials will be removed from site by a licensed contractor
and disposed of at an approved waste management facility. The closest licensed waste
management facility (accepting general Solid Waste, asbestos, and waste tires) is Button Derry
Waste Management Facility, Where necessary, disposal of waste will be conducted in accordance
with the applicable laws in Kurdistan.
The Items below describe the management of waste in relation to handling, storage, reuse and
final destinations.
- Rocks: It will be stockpiled temporarily in the vicinity of its source, prior to being reused.
- Top soil: It will be stockpiled and will then be reused on site.
- Green Waste: It will be stockpiled on site in its source and will be reused where possible.
- Waste Concrete: It will be stockpiled in a determined waste stockpile area for reused or
recycling.
- Metals: It will be stockpiled on site within the compound locations and taken to the recycling.
- Hydrocarbons: It must be kept in a bounded area within the compound locations and taken to a
waste facility licensed to accept that type of waste.
- Sanitary Waste: Waste from amenities will be stored in appropriate storage tanks prior to being
pumped out by licensed contractor and disposed of at a licensed facility.
- General Waste: It will be stored in skip bins or wheelie bins on site for transport and disposal
by a licensed contractor.

9. General Approach:
The general approach for waste management during Project construction is to:
- Follow a systematic program that applies the waste management hierarchy to reasonably
minimize wastes requiring disposal. This program shall include monitoring equipment
performance and regular scheduled maintenance programs to provide optimum performance and
minimize waste generation.

17
 - Manage waste on-site: Transfer of Project waste (including material for recycling and
wastewater) to third party facilities shall be avoided and shall be considered only as an interim
measure on an exception basis. Where it is necessary to utilize a third party facility, an audit shall
be undertaken of that facility and it may only be utilized following submission of a satisfactory
audit report to Company and with Company’s prior written approval.
- Establish facilities and procedures appropriate to prudently manage wastes requiring disposal
on-site in accordance with applicable standards dumping, spilling, leaking, or placing of any waste
materials. For example, an action such as unearthing Hazardous Wasted, concentration, or
physical, chemical, and transported.
