HULHULE-MALE’ BRIDGE PROJECT

EIA for the proposed Hulhule-Male’ Bridge Project
8 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
The Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is an important component of the EIA process,
needed to determine the accuracy of impact prediction, the adequacy of mitigation measures, and
level of compliance with commitments regarding implementation of mitigation measures and
monitoring of relevant environmental aspects.
The main objectives of the environmental management plan are to:
− Produce a framework for managing anticipated impacts, including practicable and
achievable performance requirements and systems for monitoring, reporting and
implementing corrective actions.
− Provide evidence of compliance to legislation, policies, guidelines and requirements of
relevant authorities.
8.1 Environmental management system
The environmental management framework for the proposed project is based on the standards
and policies set out by the Environmental Protection Agency of the Maldives.
- Environmental Management Planning and establishment of key performance
indicators: The EMP specifies environmental management measures and required
performance standards
- Monitoring and corrective action: The implementation of EMP measures will be
monitored. Any inconsistencies between the EMP and its on-site implementation will be
identified and addressed through corrective actions
- Auditing, reviews and improvement: The EMP will be reviewed. Improvements to the
EMP will be made as necessary to achieve desired environmental outcomes.
The environmental management strategy is demonstrated in the following figure.
