6.2Environmental Mitigation and Monitoring Program

The environmental mitigation and monitoring program presented in Annexes A and B has been designed to ensure that impacts that may results from the project are properly addressed and that environmental controls are implemented during the construction and operation phases of the project.

The ESS with the support of the CSC will:

4. 
   develop an environmental auditing protocol for the construction period as well as a detailed monitoring and management plan;
   
5. 
   formulate a report outline that will be used by the contractor as a guide in the preparation of monthly environmental progress reports; and
   
6. 
   undertake regular monitoring of contractor’s implementation of the mitigation measures during the construction stage, consistent with the monitoring program, and submit to RTSD quarterly monitoring reports.
   

6.3Cost Estimate

The estimated cost for implementing the mitigation measures and monitoring plan are provided in Table 7. Costs during construction shall be in the Contractor’s civil work’s package while costs for assisting the ESS in the implementation of the EMP and carrying out relevant environmental training shall be included in the construction supervision cost.
