What is an EMPr?

An EMPr can be defined as an environmental management tool used to reduce or avoid the negative impacts on the project site and to enhance the positive benefits from the project.

Objectives:

•Ensure compliance with regulatory authority stipulations and guidelines.
•Ensure compliance with relevant legislation.
•Identify the possible environmental impacts of the proposed activity.
•Identify a range of mitigation measures (minimise, mitigate, manage) which could reduce and mitigate the potential impacts to minimal or insignificant levels.
•Identify measures that could optimize beneficial impacts
