1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 PURPOSE

This document describes the strategy for the environmental management during the design,
construction and operation phases of the Moma power line by Kenmare Resources plc
(hereafter referred to as Kenmare).

This document, developed by Coastal & Environmental Services for Kenmare Resources plc,
is the official submission of the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) to the Ministry for
the Co-ordination of Environmental Affairs (MICOA), and is submitted in accordance with
Chapter V of the Environmental Law of Mozambique (Decree no 76/98 of 29 December),
which states that an environmental licence is required for new projects. A condition thereof
involves an evaluation of the impacts of the development on the environment by means of an
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). Article 6 provides guidelines on the study of
impacts on the environment, and lists the minimum requirements of the EIA. Line 2e of
Article 6 states that the preparation of an Environmental Management Plan (EMP), including
the monitoring of impacts, and accident prevention and contingency plans is required as part
of the EIA.

1.2 SCOPE

This EMP represents a statement of intent by Kenmare Resources plc and outlines the
company’s commitment to addressing the potential negative and positive environmental
impacts associated with the proposed power line. This EMP addresses the activities associated
with the design, construction and operation of the 110kV power line from an existing
substation near Nampula to a substation that will be constructed on the Kenmare Moma mine
site.

1.3 BACKGROUND TO THE PROJECT

Kenmare has been involved in developing a heavy mineral sands project in north eastern
Mozambique for over 10 years. A site that showed potential was identified north east of the
town of Moma and a significant pre-feasibility study was conducted on the Moma mineral
sands deposit in the late 1990s. When the project moved into a full feasibility phase, an
environmental impact assessment (EIA) was commissioned and Coastal & Environmental
Services (CES) was appointed as independent consultants to undertake the EIA as required by
the Government of Mozambique. The project will involve the investment of over US$ 150
million.

A variety of components of the project will require power to enable operation. A dedicated
power line, 167km long extending from an existing substation near Nampula to a substation
that will be constructed on the Moma mine site, has been proposed (Figure 1.3).

There are several small villages along the route, although the only major town the line passes
is Nametil. The proposed power line will traverse two large rivers on its route to the coast,
namely the Larde and Meluli, and cut through various vegetation types.

2. PROCESS AND STRUCTURE OF THE
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

2.1 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PROCESS

The generally accepted world best practice sequence for implementation of environmental
management processes associated with large projects is:

1. Pre-feasibility Environmental Assessments: These are undertaken to identify critical
environmental issues that could be regarded as fatal flaws.

2. Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs): These are traditionally carried out at
project level and are used to identify and assess potential impacts and mitigation
measures.

3. Environmental Management Plans (EMPs): These are traditionally used to identify,
implement, maintain and monitor detailed mitigation measures aimed at
reducing/managing the potential impacts during all phases of a project (viz design,
construction and operation1).

4. Environmental Management System (EMS): This is aimed at ensuring that the
environmental aspects associated with the operational phase of a project are effectively
managed and monitored.

5. Closure and Rehabilitation Plans (CRPs): These outline the procedures required to
close and rehabilitate an operation once activities have ceased.

The following environmental studies have been undertaken for the Kenmare Moma Power
Line:

• Environmental Management Plan (this document)

2.2 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN DEVELOPMENT

This EMP is based on an approved format and builds on the findings of the EIA undertaken
for the Kenmare Moma Power Line, and provides a framework to ensure that:

• Recommendations contained in the EIA are put into effect timeously in order to
manage impacts (e.g. during the design, construction and operation of the project).

• Outstanding issues from the EIA are addressed and resolved.
• Assumptions contained in the EIA are tested and verified.

Therefore this EMP identifies the required mitigation measures that are needed in order to
reduce negative impacts and enhance positive ones. It ensures that all mitigatory measures
and recommendations identified during the EIA, and post-EIA, are incorporated into a single
document so that they can be considered during the various phases of the project (i.e. design,
construction, operation and decommission). These mitigatory measures will be the

1 Operational EMPs are commonly known as Environmental Management Systems. 3

Process and Structure of EMP

Coastal & Environmental Services. Moma Power Line EIA: Environmental Management Plan

responsibility of a number of people, for example the proponent and their consultants,
authorities, contractors and environmental consultants.
This EMP is designed to ensure that Kenmare and their contractors are aware of the
environmental responsibilities that they have, and that MICOA has a clear record of the
standards and intentions of Kenmare’s environmental programme, against which they can be
held accountable. Specifically this EMP is designed to ensure that:

• During project design, all mitigatory measures identified during the EIA, which
could be incorporated into the design of the project, are considered during the
detailed design phase.

• During construction, all constraints, restrictions and actions required to minimise
construction impacts are implemented.

• During commissioning and operation, detailed operating procedures are developed
so that all constraints, restrictions and actions required to minimise impacts caused
by commissioning and operation are developed, implemented and monitored for all
areas. These will form part of an operational EMS based on the ISO 140012
framework.

• During the life of the project, Kenmare will continue to enhance positive impacts
and ensure mitigation for negative impacts. An important component of this is the
monitoring, evaluation and communication of findings and adherence to the
principle that Kenmare through the EMPs and EMS will strive for continued
improvement.

An important point to note is that the project is continually developing and therefore the
specific and detailed technical and procedural requirements for achieving the proposed
mitigation measures outlined in the EMP will also continue to be developed. Therefore
provision is made for the evolving nature of the project without compromising its
environmental management requirements. The EMP described in this document is therefore
part of a larger environmental management programme, which will continue to evolve as the
project develops, and will be reviewed internally, updated periodically and audited externally.

Part of this ongoing environmental programme (see Figure 2.2a) will be to produce a specific
construction EMP, which will contain the specific directives to Kenmare and their contractors
in the form of Environmental Action Plans (EAPs). These EAPs will provide the specific
detail for managing construction issues and can only be concluded during final design of the
project. During the construction phase an operational EMP (also termed an EMS) will be
finalised for the operational phase. Finally, during the operational phase a Closure and
Rehabilitation3 Plan (CRP) will be finalised and submitted to MICOA for approval4.

2 The International Organisation of Standards (ISO) developed the ISO 14001 framework in order to certify
Environmental Management Systems and standardise their application.
3 It should be noted that rehabilitation is an ongoing activity and is therefore covered in the Construction EMP
and Operational EMS as well as the Closure and Rehabilitation Plan.
4 This would most likely involve the handover of the line to EDM on mine closure.

3. PROJECT OVERVIEW

3.1 INTRODUCTION

The mining operation, bore field, accommodation village, mineral separation plant and
tailings areas will all consume a large quantity of power. The total power requirements of the
project are in the region of 20 megawatts, most being used by the dredge, concentrator and
mineral separation plant. This will necessitate the construction of a power line to deliver
power from an existing substation near Nampula to a substation that will be constructed on
the Moma mine site. Power will be transmitted through a 110kV line and the line will be
approximately 167km in length.

3.2 DESCRIPTION OF THE ROUTE

3.2.1THE POWER LINE
The proposed power line extends from an existing substation near Nampula to a substation
that will be constructed on the Moma mine site. The additional equipment required at the
Nampula substation is not predicted to require any additional area, while the terminal
substation at the mine site still needs to be constructed and will have a footprint of between
1 200m2 and 1 800m2, but will be positioned within the boundaries of the project site.

The conductors require a minimum ground clearance of 6.3m, which needs to be increased to
7.5m over roads. This ground clearance requires a tower height of 24m. The cable lengths will
be approximately 3km long, and the towers will be positioned approximately 300m apart over
level terrain, although this may vary in areas with raised terrain.

The foundations of the towers are dependent on the soil types, but a typical foundation for
each leg of a tower would involve a 1.5m square concrete block. The depth and the degree to
which it is submerged will be dependent on the soil type and groundwater in the region.
Within floodplain areas the foundations will need to be designed to handle flood conditions
and will thus be elevated above the ground.

Two similarly designed tower types have been proposed, an “S” or “S10” tower (Figure 3.2a).
Both tower types are self-supporting, steel lattice structures with similar dimensions. The final
towers used may vary slightly, but will have similar dimensions to the designs shown. The
tower heights are approximately 24m, although this can be extended in 3m steps by an
additional 9m if required. The base width of the towers is 2m or 4m for the “S” and “S10”
designs respectively. Both tower types have a strut width of 6m and will have the conductors
suspended from insulators, which in turn are suspended from the tower struts. The insulator
structure is uncertain at present, but will either be linear or vee string.

Figure 3.2a: The two different tower types suggested for the proposed power line.
3.2.2POWER LINE SERVITUDE
The power line servitude will be a 30m wide area centered on an 8m wide core area, which
will be cleared to grass level. On either side of the core area there will be an additional 11m
wide area within which no trees or structures greater than 3m high will be allowed. In addition
any trees or structures outside of this servitude deemed unstable, and therefore a potential risk
to the power line, will also be cut back to a height that will prevent the object from being a
risk to the line. The construction of the towers will require an area approximately 20m by
20m, while drum stations will require slightly larger areas of vegetation clearance,
approximately 30m by 30m (Figure 3.2b).

The drum stations will be situated approximately every 3km along the route for the
positioning of drum trailers and winches. The additional areas required during the
construction of the pylons and for the drum stations will be allowed to revert to their natural
state on completion of construction.

3.2.3POWER LINE ACCESS ROADS
Along most of the route use will be made of existing roads, which will be well maintained.
Additional access points will be built where necessary, and any roads used during the
construction of the line will most likely be retained for use during operations and
maintenance. New roads that cross over wetland areas will either be removed and
rehabilitated or designed in such a way that they do not impede water flow. This will involve
the insertion, correct placement and maintenance of culverts.

4. THE AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT BETWEEN NAMPULA
AND THE KENMARE MINE SITE

4.1 THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT

4.1.1CLIMATE
The climate of Mozambique is sub-tropical with hot summers and warm to hot winters, and is
influenced by the warm Mozambique current. Two distinct seasons are distinguishable, the
rainy season and the warm dry season. The rainy season usually commences abruptly in
December and extends to April. About 75% of the total annual rainfall occurs during this
period, causing hot, humid conditions. Annual rainfall at Quelimane (about 300km south east
of Moma) is almost 1.400mm, but in the project area is likely to be about 200mm less. The
warm dry season at the coast extends from May to November. Only the months of September
and October are truly “dry” at the coast. Periodic cyclones sweep the Mozambique Channel
during this period, occasionally reaching the coast and bringing very heavy rainfall.

4.1.2VEGETATION
Vegetation patterns in the study area are fairly complex due to human-induced disturbance
and alteration of natural patterns. Five dominant vegetation units were identified, namely:

• Coastal Evergreen Forest covering 0.4% of the route
• Miombo Woodland covering 7.3% of the route
• Secondary Savanna covering 57.5% of the route
• Rivers, Wetlands and Moist Grassland, together covering 11.5% of the route
• Rural Village-Agricultural Mosaic, covering 20.6% of the route.

The Secondary Savanna community covers the largest area within the study area, which is an
indication of the impact that the local people have had on the area. Wetlands and drainage
areas form a network throughout the study area. Moist Grassland occurs near the mine site
within the Larde River floodplain, and surrounds the Coastal Evergreen Forest. Miombo
Woodland occurs in two main areas along the power line.

4.1.3CURRENT LAND USE
The dominant land use categories in this study area are:

• Scattered rural residential areas
• Towns or cities (Nametil and Nampula)
• Fields cultivated for subsistence crops (cassava, rice, beans)
• Cashew plantations

The area is predominantly dominated by scattered rural residences and fields cultivated for
subsistence crops. The only significant concentrations of people are in Nampula city and
Nametil. As the Moma line will connect with the existing Nampula substation, on the
outskirts of the city, it will have limited impacts on the population of Nampula.

Affected Environment between Nampula and the Kenmare Mine Site 11

Coastal & Environmental Services. Moma Power Line EIA: Environmental Management Plan

4.1.4FAUNA
The fauna within the region of the proposed power line route is typical of a disturbed area,
consisting of many widespread species and an absence of large mammals. Mozambique has a
diverse amphibian fauna and 35 amphibian species may possibly occur in the Nampula-Moma
region. There are no endemic Mozambican amphibians and none are listed as threatened.
Several species of frogs with restricted ranges do occur in Mozambique, but extend into
adjacent regions. Due to the uniform habitats in the Nampula-Moma region, only a limited
number of reptiles are likely to occur, with only approximately 12 taxa endemic to the
country. No Mozambican terrestrial reptiles are listed as threatened, and no endemic species
occur in the area.

A diverse avifauna occurs in Mozambique, but certain groups of birds, otherwise widespread
in Mozambique, are absent or very uncommon in the Nampula-Moma region. They include
hornbills, raptors and game birds. Eight of the birds observed in the Nampula-Moma region
are listed in threatened or near-threatened categories. The long history of agriculture in the
region has resulted in a significant decline in the number and diversity of forest and woodland
birds and mammals. None of the few mammals still surviving within the study area are
endemic, or included in the Red List or placed in CITES appendices.

4.2 THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

4.2.1HISTORICAL AND CURRENT SETTING
Mozambique ended its post-independence war in 1992 with the signing of the Rome Peace
Accord. Prior to this accord the country had been subjected to a violent and protracted war
between the armies of Frelimo and Renamo. Thousands of Mozambicans lost their lives,
many more fled their homesteads and fields and the country’s economy was devastated.
Despite recent growth, the country continues to depend on foreign assistance to balance the
budget. The Kenmare project is a major investment into the country. It is anticipated that the
project will generate significant export revenues once full production is reached. In addition
to the direct returns from the tax base, there will be additional indirect as well as induced
economic benefits.

4.2.2SETTLEMENTS
The power line route will pass through 5 districts in Nampula Province as well as Nampula
City. Nampula Province is predominantly rural. However, the power line route avoids the
urban areas and therefore the people who will be affected by the route will generally be rural
people.

The power line route will affect 450 people, 110 homesteads and 115 structures, all of which
will need to be relocated away from the 30m servitude. The relocation will generally only be
short distances (>100m), which should not result in a significant impact on the social fabric of
the area.

Table 4.2: Magnitude of displacement.

District No of Households

Meconta 25
Mogovoras 31
Angoche 3
Moma 20
TOTAL 110

In addition to those to be resettled, it is anticipated that a number of homesteads will be
affected:

• Either through having to be relocated to make way for access roads required for the
construction of the power line.

• Or by having trees or crops destroyed during the course of construction of the power
line. In particular trees beneath the power line will have to be removed during the
construction phase.

4.2.3HOUSEHOLD LIVELIHOOD STRATEGIES

The majority of people living along the power line are rural, with their range of economic
survival strategies being constrained by the limited nature of the economic base.

Traditional lifestyles along the power line involve a continuing process of competition
between demands for the household to engage in cash-generating activities and demands to
engage in food-producing activities. A range of factors ultimately determines household
activities and priorities, including:

• Household size and demographic composition,
• Household location,
• Economic differentiation between households,
• Variations in traditional rights to resources such as land, and
• The general local and regional economic climate.

4.2.4GRAVES

No major cemeteries appear to be impacted upon by the power line and only a few grave sites
associated with individual homesteads appear to be potentially affected by the development.
Graves can be left underneath the power line and most likely will not have to be moved.
Where possible, the positions of pylons will be adjusted, should they overlap with grave sites.

5. POLICIES, LEGISLATION AND STANDARDS

5.1 CORPORATE POLICIES

Kenmare will develop detailed company policies that ensure sustainable development and
operation, and will strive to develop the project in a way that meets the needs of the present
generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.

Corporate policies will include Health, Safety, Environment and Community responsibilities,
which will ensure continual improvement in their performance, efficient use of natural
resources and avoid or mitigate potentially adverse effects on local communities and the
environment. Kenmare’s approach will be based on the requirements of internationally
recognised standards, and will take into account the policies of the World Bank and the
International Finance Corporation.

5.1.1HEALTH AND SAFETY POLICY

Kenmare’s Health and Safety Policy will seek to ensure the health and safety of the local
community, employees and contactors. To fulfill this commitment Kenmare will:

1. Strive to identify and assess potential risks and hazards early and manage them in
a way that avoids or mitigates adverse effects.

2. Set targets and objectives that seek to reduce the risk of harm to the community,
employees and contractors.

3. Monitor risks and reassess risk, thereby aiming to improve results continuously.
4. Train employees to ensure that they have the right skills and competencies.
5. Develop an emergency response programme/preparedness plan to deal with

potential risks.

5.1.2ENVIRONMENT POLICY

The conservation of the environment is essential for long term sustainable development.
Kenmare recognise that their activities have the potential to cause environmental harm, and
their aim will be to reduce the impact on the environment over time. To fulfill this
commitment Kenmare will:

1. Comply with all current laws, regulations, international conventions and specific
licence conditions.

2. Apply the precautionary principle approach to environmental management in order
to ensure opportunities for environmentally sustainable development.

3. Set environmental standards and targets to assess performance.
4. Assess potential impacts and ensure continual improvement by monitoring

performance and reassessing targets.
5. Integrate environmental factors into design, construction, operation and

decommission.
6. Ensure the protection, maintenance and rehabilitation of the environment.
7. Promote environmental awareness of employees and contractors through training.
8. Develop an emergency response programme/preparedness plan to deal with

potential risks.

Policies, Legislation and Standards 15

Coastal & Environmental Services. Moma Power Line EIA: Environmental Management Plan

5.1.3COMMUNITY POLICY
Kenmare’s community policy will aim to ensure that the local community will benefit from
development projects, and that potentially adverse effects on the local populous are prevented
or mitigated. Kenmare will ensure that:

1. The project fosters full respect for the community’s dignity, human rights and
cultural uniqueness.

2. Employees and contractors act sensitively and respectfully.
3. The local communities do not suffer adverse effects during the project, and that

they receive culturally compatible social and economic benefits from the proposed
project.
4. Communities are incorporated into the project development process by identifying
and addressing their preferences and concerns through consultation, and the
incorporation of local knowledge into the development.
5. Community development is encouraged and supported.
6. There is no discrimination in employment practices and no forced or child labour.
7. Communities that are unavoidably resettled are compensated.
8. Alternative economies that attract investment and employment are encouraged, so
that the post-mining economy is sustainable.

5.2 LEGISLATIVE FRAMEWORK

The legislation applicable to the Kenmare Project, as a whole, is summarised in Table 5.2 and
includes:

• The Constitution of the Republic of Mozambique (1990)
• The Mining Act (Law 2/86 of 16, 1986, as amended by Law 5/94 of September

18, 1996)
• The Environmental Act (Law 20/97, October 1, 1997)
• The Land Act (Law 19/97 of October 1, 1997)
• The Water Rights Act (Law 16/91, August 3, 1991)
• The Labour Act (Law 8/98 of July 20, 1998)

The legal framework for environmental protection in Mozambique is based on policy
instruments and internal instructions from MICOA. Currently the granting of an
environmental licence is dependent on the completion of an Environmental Impact
Assessment and the preparation of an Environmental Management Plan. Accordingly, this
EMP meets all legal obligations.

This EMP recognises all legal instruments presently in force in Mozambique. This
preliminary legal review will be updated during the annual reviews of the Environmental
Management System so as to ensure that it remains compliant with Mozambican legislation
and the requirements of EDM.

Coastal & Environmental Services. Moma Power Line EIA: Environmental Management Plan

6. FORMAT OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL
MANAGEMENT PLAN

This EMP is structured so that the key environmental components are directly linked to the
activity areas of the project. The key environmental components include:

1. Water issues (Appendix 1)
2. Economic issues (Appendix 2)
3. Waste disposal issues (Appendix 3)
4. Dust and atmospheric emission issues (Appendix 4)
5. Ecological issues (Appendix 5)

These environmental components are linked to the following project activities:
1. Servitude clearing
2. Access roads
3. Tower erection
4. Conductors

Impacts relating to a specific environmental component are grouped together, so that all the
mitigation measures required to manage specific activities of the power line are clearly
identified. This will ensure that causes of possible non-compliance during monitoring can be
traced, and ensure that all environmental requirements of a project activity have been or are
being met.

The tables have six column headings, which are explained below.

a. EMP Reference Number: This column is used to give each proposed mitigation
measure or "management statement" a unique number for ease of reference.

b. EIA Reference: This column provides a reference to the EIA documentation in
which the environmental impact and related mitigation measures were identified
and explained. This ensures easy cross-referencing.

c. Impact: This column lists the impacts identified for a particular project activity.
d. Management Statement: This column specifies the proposed mitigation measures

for the impacts.
e. Responsibility: This column suggests the appropriate professionals in the project

team or authority responsible for managing the specific mitigation measures.
Shared responsibility indicates the importance of interaction between the different
professional groups on the project team and authorities during all phases of the
project.
f. Phase: This column depicts the phase of the project (Design, Construction or
Operation) when the mitigation measure must be addressed or implemented:

• Design is the phase when final design for construction must be
undertaken.

• Construction implies the completion of design and the start of
construction, which extends until the completion of the commissioning of
the various facilities.

• Operations begin after commissioning and extend for the life of the
project.

Format of EMP 19

Coastal & Environmental Services. Moma Power Line EIA: Environmental Management Plan

7. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING

The final detailed monitoring requirements will be refined as relevant information becomes
available during the design and construction stage. The objectives of the monitoring
programme are to:

• Demonstrate that Kenmare has operated in accordance with all of the conditions
in the EIA and that control structures and programmes are operating consistently
with these conditions.

• Provide timely, relevant and appropriately presented information within the
company, to the regulatory authorities and the general public on the
environmental performance of the operation.

The following will be monitored with regard to the Kenmare Moma power line:

1. Roads: Condition of existing access roads and routes during construction.
2. Rehabilitation: A programme to monitor the effectiveness of the rehabilitation of

access roads, lay down areas and camps will be established once rehabilitation
commences.
3. Bird Mortality: A formal partnership between Kenmare and a Mozambique
conservation agency will be developed to aid in assessing the long term
significance of bird mortalities on existing and proposed lines.
4. Monitoring and Evaluation of the Resettlement and Compensation Plan (RCP):
Kenmare site management will undertake ongoing monitoring, evaluation and
review of the Resettlement and Compensation Plan (RCP). Annually there will be
a site self-assessment carried out by trained employees of Kenmare, and an audit
carried out by a credible independent agency. Initially these activities will focus,
among other things, on ensuring:

o The correct entitlements are delivered to the affected households.
o Disputes and grievances are dealt with promptly and efficiently.
o The effectiveness of the resettlement.

8. IMPLEMENTATION OF THE
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

8.1 MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE AND REPORTING

8.1.1ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE
The generic key management positions to manage the EMP are discussed below. The actual
titles used for each position and the precise responsibilities may change during the final
design phase. The main parties involved will be Kenmare as the client and a contractor who
will build the line. The construction rather than the operation of power lines are generally
responsible for most of the impacts and thus emphasis is placed on the role of the contractor.

8.1.2KENMARE RESOURCES TEAM
Kenmare – Construction Manager (K-CM)
The role of the K-CM will be to ensure that all personnel on site abide by the requirements of
the EMP and that all areas of the project are constructed and operated in such a manner that it
meets all specified legal and contractual environmental requirements. The K-CM is the most
senior figure on site.

Kenmare – Technical Managers (K-TM)
The role of the Technical Managers will be to ensure that the line is designed, constructed and
operated to meet the specified contractual and legal requirements. The K-TMs will report
directly to the K-CM.

Kenmare – Environmental, Health, Safety & Community Manager (K-EHSC)
One of the Kenmare Technical managers will be the EHSC Manager. The K-EHSC will be
based on site and will report directly to the K-CM. This manager will specifically manage the
EHSC issues during the construction phase and ensure that the contractor is meeting all the
necessary requirements.

8.1.3CONTRACTOR’S CONSTRUCTION TEAM
Contractor – Environmental Site Officers (C-ESO)
The exact composition of the contractor’s team can only be established once the contractor is
selected. The contractor will, however, be required to appoint environmental site officers who
shall be responsible for undertaking a daily site inspection to monitor compliance with the
specifications.

Contractor – Chief Engineer/Project Manager (C-CE)
It is presumed that the contractor will have a chief engineer on site who is responsible for the
delivery of the contract. This person is responsible for the delivery of the line according to all
engineering, legal, financial and environmental specifications.

8.1.4INDEPENDENT MONITORING TEAM
An independent monitoring team may be appointed by the lenders to ensure ongoing
compliance.

Independent – Environmental, Health, Safety & Community Officer (I –EHSC) 23

Implementation of the EMP

Coastal & Environmental Services. Moma Power Line EIA: Environmental Management Plan

A party which is independent of the client and the contractor will be on site to audit all
activities. This individual will have the mandate to report directly to the K-CM but will liaise
on a day to day basis with the K-EHSC.

Independent – Audit team
An independent and internationally reputable audit team will review all EHSC activities
associated with the construction activities on a 6-monthly basis.

8.1.5REPORTING GUIDELINES

The reporting structure and in particular work stoppage guidelines will be determined in the
final design phase. The following principles will, however, need to be adhered to:

i. The K-CM is the most senior staff member on site.
ii. The K-CM can call a permanent stop to any activity that he deems to be having an

adverse impact on the environment.
iii. The K-EHSC can call a temporary stop to any activity that he deems to be having an

adverse impact on the environment.
iv. The I-EHSC can call a temporary stop to any activity that he deems to be having an

adverse impact on the environment.
v. The C-ESOs can call a temporary stop to any activity that they deem to be having an

adverse impact on the environment.
vi. The C-ESOs shall report to the K-EHSC on a daily basis.

A conflict resolution committee will need to be established in the final design period to ensure
the effective and pragmatic solution to any environmental specification disputes.
