An EMP is a site-specific plan developed by the proponent to ensure that all necessary measures are identified and implemented in order to protect the environment and comply with environmental legislation.
A site-specific EMP should provide the answers to the following important questions:
- What are the likely environmental issues for your company/project?
- What likely damage can these issues cause to the surrounding environment?
- How will the company/project manage these issues to minimize the environmental impacts?
All companies/projects operating in RAK are likely to be committed to protecting the environment from its activities and require the same commitment from its service suppliers through development and implementation of an EMP.
It is the responsibility of the company/project to prepare a site-specific EMP and submit it to the project manager for approval. EPDA should receive a copy of the EMP after approval. Depending on the company/project, the EMP should include both the Construction and Operation phase.
