minimise environmental impacts identified from the risk assessment process. Environmental management plans for the higher risk aspects (prior to the application of controls) requiring management must be included in the MMP. For example, this would include all risks identified as moderate, high and extreme in the risk assessment matrix example in appendix 9.1. The low risks identified and managed by procedures should be available for review on request. The EMP is a compilation of the activities directed toward: Achievement of objectives and targets; Managing and reducing the impact of environmental aspects and impacts; Complying with all applicable regulatory requirements; and Meeting the requirements of the environmental policy organisation’s An EMP should specify the affected environmental values, potential impacts on environmental values and mitigation strategies. An EMP is required for those activities, operations, emissions, discharges and procedures which need regular monitoring and measurement. The types of required for a site should have been identified through the evaluation of aspects and EMP’s impacts and risk assessment process. Depending on the risk assessment process, may include but are not limited to: EMP’s Water Management Plan (must be addressed in section 6 below) Soil and Land Management Plan Native Flora and Fauna Management Plan Pest and Weed Management Plan Air Quality Management Plan Noise and Vibration Management Plan Energy Management Plan Waste (domestic and industrial) Management Plan Hazardous Material Management Plan Waste Rock Management Plan Tailings/Residue Management Plan Erosion Management Plan Cultural Heritage Management Plan Socio-Economic Management Plan Rehabilitation Management Plan NOTE: The content to be included within each EMP is further described in the following Sections. Objectives and Targets Outline the relevant objectives and targets for the specified EMP. The objectives and targets should be measurable and consistent with the environmental policy. Compliance with relevant statutory requirements must also be addressed. Objectives should address both short and long term matters and be consistent with the goals of the environmental policy. Targets need to be measurable and designed to fulfil the environmental objectives. The objectives and targets must address the significant environmental aspects/impacts that have been identified and demonstrate a commitment to the protection of the environment. Objectives and targets should be: Specific and unambiguous, with explicit targets; Measurable, so that performance can be measured against targets; Achievable. Does the company have the resources or the capability to meet targets? Realistic, so not trying to achieve the impossible; and Time-based, so targets can be met within a certain time frame.
