4.1.3. Mitigation Measures
The Consultant shall propose mitigation measures, including needs for compensation
for the potential environmental and social effects that would occur from preconstruction,
construction and operational activities.
4.1.4. Provisional Environmental & Social Management Plan (ESMP)
The Consultant shall identify personnel and environmental management and training
requirements for each stage of the project development and develop a Provisional
Environmental & Social Management Plan (ESMP) as part of the overall ESIA report.
The ESMP shall include an appropriate monitoring programme to determine impacts on
the physical, biological and human environments. This programme will be used to
verify whether predictions of environmental and social impacts, developed in the design
phase, are accurate and that unforeseen impacts are detected at an early stage. This will
allow corrective measures to be implemented before significant damage takes place.
The monitoring plan should specify what will be monitored (indicators), when, by
whom and the cost implications (investment cost and recurrent costs). The ESMP shall
include a Vegetation Management Plan as well as a plan for the Management of
Archaeological and Cultural Property.
