Framework environmental management plan

5Monitoring

A crucial part in ensuring that this Environmental Management Plan is put into practice is the description of those persons who are responsible for “policing” it, and ensuring that it is in place. Section 5 describes how this EMP will be enforced – by the PMU and also by State environmental officials.

PMU
The PMU will disseminate this EMP to all contractors when they are appointed, as well as to the site supervisors. The PMU will ensure that all contracts with builders, designers, decorators and others involved in implementation of the renovation/rehabilitation aspects of the project will include requirements to respect this EMP and the legal provision concerning the environment.
In addition, the PMU will engage technical specialists who will ensure that all contractual obligations, including conformity with this EMP, are being fulfilled. The technical specialist will act as the representative of the beneficiary and will report to the beneficiary and to the investor, through the PMU.
This technical specialist and the PMU will, so far as within their responsibilities, co-ordinate their activities with the environmental authorities.
The PMU will ensure that the designers and developers of the individual projects will work closely with the relevant agencies to ensure compliance with all relevant legislation, procedures and requirements. The main agencies are the LEPAs, the Environment Guard and the County Public Health Directorates, and their roles and responsibilities are summarized below.
