Introduction
The Environmental Management Plan (EMP) has been prepared for the sub-project that
discusses the anticipated impacts, monitoring requirements, and development of mitigation
measures with respect to the following phases: (i) construction, and (ii) operation and maintenance.
Detailed, site-specific mitigation measures and monitoring plans were developed and will be
implemented during the project implementation phase.

Institutional Structure and Stakeholder’s Roles and Responsibility

Primary responsibility for the implementation of the EMP lies with the BMMR Construction
Baneswor Kathmandu, as the project involves a number of stakeholders, there is need of shared
responsibility among the stakeholders to realize the objective of the EMP during various phases
of project development and operation.

Project Salient Features

Project: Building Project

documents, particularly in the specific provisions of
contract, contract specifications, and bill of quantities
 Overall responsibility for EMP implementation during the
operation phase
 Responsible for working with stakeholders in developing
an integrated environmental management

Environmental and Social Impact Management

The environmental and social impacts of the project were identified in section 6 and are linked
to specific mitigation actions. The mitigation management measures in a matrix format with details
of environmental impacts, specifics of mitigation measures, responsible agency for mitigation
action, and timing of mitigation is provided in Table for construction and operation phases.
