The EMP aims to mitigate environmental impacts, monitor effectiveness, define roles and responsibilities, and maintain stakeholder consultation. Key sections include objectives of the EMP, legislation/guidelines, organizational structure, a mitigation matrix, monitoring plans, communication/documentation, and a stakeholder consultation plan. The EMP provides frameworks for addressing issues like traffic management, materials transportation, site restoration, training, and environmental costs.
