51mechanisms for resolving complaints about environmental performance.133. The EMP will guide the environmentally-sound construction of the subproject and ensureefficient lines of communication between KUIDFC, PMU, PIU, consultants and the contractors.The EMP will (i) ensure that the activities are undertaken in a responsible non-detrimentalmanner; (i) provide a pro-active, feasible and practical working tool to enable the measurementand monitoring of environmental performance on site; (ii) guide and control the implementationof findings and recommendations of the environmental assessment conducted for thesubproject; (iii) detail specific actions deemed necessary to assist in mitigating theenvironmental impact of the subproject; and (iv) ensure that safety recommendations arecomplied with.134. A copy of the EMP will be kept on site during the construction period at all times. TheEMP will be made binding on all contractors operating on the site and will be included within theContractual Clauses. Non-compliance with, or any deviation from, the conditions set out in thisdocument constitutes a failure in compliance.135. The subproject is unlikely to cause significant adverse impacts because: (i) most of theindividual components involve straightforward construction and operation, so impacts will bemainly localized; (ii) in most cases the predicted impacts are likely to be associated with theconstruction process and are produced because the process is invasive, involving excavation,obstruction at specific construction locations, and earth movements; and (iii) being locatedmainly on existing facilities and built-up area will not cause direct impact on terrestrialbiodiversity values. The potential adverse impacts that are associated with design, construction,and operation can be mitigated to standard levels without difficulty through proper engineeringdesign and the incorporation or application of recommended mitigation measures andprocedures.136. Therefore per ADB SPS, the subproject is classified as environmental Category B anddoes not require further Environmental Impact Assessment.
