Fulfilling the role of International Environmental Safeguard Specialist as the part of the Project Management and Implementation Team responsible for delivering the project, we were responsible for identifying potential environmental impacts during the Detailed Engineering Design phase, then integrate the design and impacts into the project environmental safeguard documents. Mitigation measures to reduce impacts to acceptable levels were identified and developed into a comprehensive Environmental Management Plan (EMP) . The EMP helps the contractor to implement the mitigation measures and helps the Government to monitor the project's environmental performance.
