9.1 Responsibilities During Project Implementation 9.2 Environmental Management Plan
The document outlines an environmental management plan with two main sections. Section 9.1 discusses responsibilities during project implementation, including allocating budget, expertise, and responsibility for mitigation measures to relevant parties. Section 9.2 discusses that the environmental management plan should recognize impacts may be uncertain and include teams responsible for soil erosion control, runoff management, waste handling, and environmental monitoring.

9.1 Responsibilities During Project Implementation
Some of those responsibilities and actions include;
i) Allocate institutional/administrative responsibilities for planning and management of environmental requirements. The results of the EIA are to be applied to shape the project and influence engineering designs.
ii) Allocate responsibility to execute mitigation action to the
project manager and/or the contractors responsible for project construction. (Example, soil erosion control planning and execution by the earthworks contractor may be incorporated in the contract agreement for such works). Responsibilities During Project Implementation
iii) Allocate adequate budget for implementing the EMP.
It is pertinent to note that issues of relevance to public authorities be reported. Such issues, as the need to retain buffer zones, restrict land use of adjacent surroundings areas, control of types of development allowed and requirements for collection, treatment and disposal of liquid and solid wastes are particularly relevant to local authorities who ultimately are responsible for the management of these areas. Responsibilities During Project Implementation
iv) Implement a program of monitoring to check the
effectiveness of mitigation measures, and to modify, or implementing additional measures, to correct or overcome the impact in question.
v) Appoint relevant expertise or consultants to assist if in-house
capability is not available
vi) Ensure mitigation measures, as appropriate, are incorporated
into detail design and contract documents. 9.2 Environmental Management Plan
Impacts from various activities are unlikely to be predicted with
certainty.
The EMP should recognise and include the following;
i) The environmental management team and their areas of responsibility;
ii) Management of soil erosion and river siltation during site
clearing and earthworks - a soil erosion control plan is generally necessary; iii) Management of runoff to minimise floods
iv) Regulation of the types of activities allowed during its
construction and operation;
v) Management of liquid, solid and hazardous wastes generated
from the project;
vi) Environmental monitoring requirements; and
vii) Responsibilities and role of the project initiator for
protection of the environment. The programme for monitoring should generally identify;
i) the type of monitoring required (for example, checking for
slope stability and slope failure; water quality assessment);
ii) the locations of monitoring stations or areas (this should be
identified on a map or plan);
iii) the types of measurements to be undertaken (example,
bacteriological contaminant if water supply in a river is important).
