INTRODUCTION The Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is prepared to guide the execution team to manage activities and issues with respect to the Environment and set the highest priority to the protection of Environment & Conservation of resources in our work premises, during the construction stage of the project. Where adverse impacts have been identified, the EMP has examined the extent to which these impacts would be mitigated through the adoption of good practices. The EMP describes both generic good practices and measures and the site-specific measures, the implementation of which is aimed at mitigating potential impacts associated with the road project. The purpose of the EMP is to provide a delivery mechanism to address potential adverse impacts, to enhance project benefits and to introduce standards of good practices. It is a responsibility of all levels of management to conduct operations in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, including those related to the Health of Employees, the Environment and the use of Hazardous or toxic substances. In the preparation of ‘EMP’, we have taken into account, the guidelines of Employer’s EMP. In this endeavor, we are committed to, Maintain cleanliness at the work place Waste minimization, including solid & liquid waste Compliance with all the requirements from both authorities and applicable laws. Strive for continual improvement in our specific Environmental and Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) impacts. Create Environmental awareness among our staff & workers. 2.0 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT The project road comprises of two state highways viz.
