Table 14: Components of ESMP Components of ESMP EMP How to address Component Summary of The predicted adverse environmental and social impacts for which mitigation is impacts required should be identified and briefly summarized. Cross referencing to the EA report or other documentation is recommended. Description of Each mitigation measure should be briefly described with reference to the mitigation impact to which it relates and the conditions under which it is required (for measures example, continuously or in the event of contingencies). These should be accompanied by, or referenced to, project design and operating procedures which elaborate on the technical aspects of implementing the various measures. Description of The monitoring program should clearly indicate the linkages between impacts monitoring identified in the EIA report, measurement indicators, detection limits (where appropriate), and definition of thresholds that will signal the need for corrective programme actions. Institutional Responsibilities for mitigation and monitoring should be clearly defined, arrangements including arrangements for co- ordination between the various actors responsible for mitigation. Implementation The timing, frequency and duration of mitigation measure should be specified schedule and in an implementation schedule, showing links with overall project reporting implementation. Procedures to provide information on the progress and results procedures of mitigation and monitoring measures should also be clearly specified. Cost estimates should be specified for both the initial investment and recurring expenses for implementing all measures contained in the ESMP, integrated into the total and sources of funds project costs, and factored into loan negotiations.
