1. Introduction
The purpose of this Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) is to provide a framework for the
management of environmental risks identified through the environmental impact assessment process for the solar
works.
Implementation of the project in accordance with the CEMP will ensure that environmental risks are reduced to As Low
As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP), and all environmental obligations are met including those contained in legislation,
regulations and conditions of approvals, permits and licenses issued to the project.
Due to the nature of the project, the CEMP focuses primarily on the construction phase of the project as there are
unlikely to be many ongoing environmental issues once construction has been completed.
This plan takes into account the mitigation measures highlighted in the Environmental Assessment Report and the
environmental clauses and conditions. The primary concern will be to screen all new work proposals for potential
environmental impact and to influence the design and implementation of these to ensure they are environmentally
Sound.
2. Structure
This CEMP consists of a series of management sub-plans that relate to the key environmental themes that will be the
focus of management. They include:
•
Environmental awareness and management
•
Energy Conservation

3. Project Overview
To design and provide equipment as specified in the BOQ’s to be installed and set up.
4. Environmental Management Framework
The EMS provides a framework for identifying and managing environmental risks, and for compliance monitoring and
reporting.
This EMP provides overarching environmental management guidance for the project that will be
Implemented through the extant EMS processes and procedures of the head contractor. The CEMP
Establishes a framework of management plans and procedures to address key areas of environmental risk, and
incorporates conditions of approval, commitments, and legal and other requirements.
5. Training and Awareness
All personnel including staff, employees and any contractors will undertake appropriate training prior to the
construction to ensure they are aware of there on site responsibilities in respect of all environmental issues
Mibawa will be responsible for conducting the trainings and awareness. This will be achieved through the
implementation of onsite induction and specific training programs designed to ensure that all on site personnel are
competent enough and are aware of any environmental procedures relevant to their activities.
This will include site induction procedures’, identification of various locations of sensitive environmental areas and
potential threats. The induction will include;
•
Location of pump and structure
•
Adjoining residents and land-users and their exposure to the project
•
The impacts of erosion, human disturbance, dust and noise can have on these values.
•
Traffic management both human and Motor vehicles
