Aerial Ropeways - Environmental Clearance

10ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN10.0 GeneralIn practice, mitigation is emphasized in the EIA process following impact identification andprediction, and recommended measures will be an important part of the EIA report. Thesemeasures will be incorporated into the terms and conditions of project approval and implementedduring the Environmental management stage of the EIA process. The objectives of environmentalmanagement are to:Ensure the mitigation measures are implementedEstablish systems and procedures for this purposeMonitor the effectiveness of mitigation measures andTake any necessary action when unforeseen impact occur10.1 Components of EMPThe EMP should contain the following:Summary of potential impact & recommended mitigation measures. Allocation ofresources and responsibilities for plan implementationAdministrative and technical setup for management of environmentInstitutional arrangements proposed with other organizations/Govt. authorities foreffective implementation of environmental measures proposed in the EIASafe guards/mechanism to continue the assumptions/field conditions made in the EIAEnvironmental specifications for contractors should cover the required safeguards duringthe design and construction stage1010.2 Environmental CellIt is desirable for the proponent to set up a separate environmental cell to oversee implementationof the EMP and evaluate the results of monitoring. Survey and analysis is to be carried outperiodically. It is necessary to establish a multidisciplinary internal environmental audit team forcompliance review.The report should provide details of maintenance of equipment with respect to- air pollution- noise pollution- safety of the transport along the ropeway
