Contractors Environmental Management Plan

How the Contractor will ensure that he complies with the environmental conditions and requirements whilst building the project

CONTENTS OF A CEMPTypical contents include:• Project description;• Laws and regulations;• Roles and responsibilities;• Impacts of the project;• Mitigation measure;• Performance goals;• Review mechanisms; and• Reporting.

Typical Impacts• Soil and Water;• Noise and Vibration;• Air quality;• Flora and Fauna;• Traffic;• Heritage; and• Waste.

Soil and WaterImpacts Typical Mitigations

Sediment polluting rivers and creeks • Erosion and sedimentation control plans.

Soil instability • Erosion and sedimentation control devices.

Soil erosion

Pollution of groundwater • Lining of storage dams.

Noise and VibrationImpacts Typical Mitigations

Construction noise impacting on community e.g. schools

• Restrict working hours and ensure machines are fitted with effective mufflers.

Construction noise impacting on residents

• Build permanent noise mitigations (e.g. noise mounds, walls) early.

Vibration from construction (from rollers, trucks, blasting damaging buildings and other structures

• Restrict size of compacting equipment and how close it can come to structures; and

• Maximum instantaneous charge limit for blasting.

Air QualityImpacts Typical mitigations

Dust generation during works • Watering of works; and• Use of dust suppressants.

Dust generation from bare ground • Limit area disturbed at any one time; and

• Progressive revegetation.

Vehicle emissions • Regular servicing and inspections.

Flora and FaunaImpacts Typical Mitigations

Destruction of flora • Delineation of work area / exclusion area.

Destruction of fauna • Tree and vegetation Clearing procedures.

Loss of habitat • Ecologists on site.

Loss of biodiversity • Biobanking/Offsets.

Operational Management Plan• Monitor environmental impacts relating to the

operation;• Establish standards and criteria for maintenance

and monitoring activities;• Provide details of the management structure,

responsibility and authority;• Provide a framework for compliance and record

keeping; and• Provide an audit/inspection regime to ensure

documented, periodic and objective evaluation of environmental performance.

Erosion and Sediment Control• Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation

(RUSLE) :A = R x K x LS x P x C where

• A = computed soil loss in tonnes/ha/year• R = rainfall erosivity factor• K = soil erodibility factor• LS = slope length/gradient factor• P = erosion control practice factor• C = ground cover and management factor.
