LU4 Monitoring & Auditing
1. Definition
: EMP is part of EIA reporting, translating recommended mitigation and monitoring measures into specific actions.
2. Components
Improving and enhancing landscape features.
Reinforcing a site’s character.
Improving visual amenity.
Increasing biodiversity.
Providing shelter and new habitats.
Enhancing recreational activities.
Protecting archaeological and cultural heritage.
3. Monitoring
: Monitoring provides essential data to manage and mitigate environmental impacts effectively.
1. EM used for (Telfer and Beveridge, 2001
Baseline Monitoring: Establish initial environmental conditions prior to project commencement.
Impact Monitoring: Measure the specific impacts of project activities during construction and operation phases.
Compliance Monitoring: Ensure adherence to environmental regulations and standards.
Effectiveness Monitoring: Assess the success of mitigation measures in reducing adverse impacts.
2. Types of EM
Impact Monitoring (IM): Verifies EIA study findings and effectiveness of mitigation measures.
Compliance Monitoring (CM): Ensures compliance with EIA conditions of approval.
Performance Monitoring (PM): Monitors pollution control systems and other mitigation measures.
4. Auditing
: Periodic, systematic, documented, and objective evaluation to determine compliance status, environmental management system, and overall environmental risk.
1. Objectives
Verify implementation of conditions of approval.
Test accuracy of impact predictions.
Check effectiveness of mitigation measures.
Improve compliance and performance of EIA practice.
Identify impacts of project implementation.
2. Techniques
Examination of records and documentation.
Interviews with management and line staff.
Site inspection.
3. Types
Decision Point Audit: Examines EIA as a decision-making tool.
Implementation Audit: Ensures approved conditions have been met.
Project Impact Audit: Examines environmental changes from project implementation.
Predictive Technique Audit: Compares actual against predicted environmental effects.
EIA Procedure Audit: Critically examines the EIA study methods and approach.
