ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
The ‘Environmental Management Plan’ (EMP) is prepared to guide the execution team to
manage activities and issues with respect to the Environment and set the highest priority to
the protection of Environment & Conservation of resources in our work premises, during the
construction stage of the project.
Where adverse impacts have been identified, the EMP has examined the extent to which
this impact would be mitigated through the adoption of good practices. The EMP describes
both generic good practices and measures and the site-specific measures, the
implementation of which is aimed at mitigating potential impacts associated with the
construction of the Project.
The purpose of the EMP is to provide a delivery mechanism to address potential adverse
impacts, to enhance project benefits and to introduce standards of good practices.
It is a responsibility of all levels of management to conduct operations in accordance with
applicable laws and regulations, including those related to the Health of Employees, the
Environment and the use of Hazardous or toxic substances.
In this endeavor, we are committed to,
1. Maintain cleanliness at the work place
2. Waste minimization, including solid & liquid waste
3. Compliance with all the requirements from both authorities and applicable laws.
4. Strive for continual improvement in our specific Environmental and Occupational
Health and Safety (OHS) impacts.
5. Create Environmental awareness among our staff & workers.
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The following definitions are applied in accordance with Environmental Management System
ISO 14001:1996.
1、Environment
Surroundings in which an organization operates, including air, water, land, natural resources,
flora & fauna, humans and their interrelation.
2、Environmental Aspects:
Elements of Organizational Activities, Products or Services, which can interact with the
environment.
Example includes: Solid Waste, Noise, and Hazardous Waste etc.
3、Environmental impact:
Any change to the environment whether adverse or beneficial wholly or partially resulting
from an organization Activities, Products or Services. An Environmental effect is the
consequences of an environmental intervention in environmental system.
Air Quality
R&C INFRAENGINEERS PVT-APS JV shall take all necessary precautions to minimize
fugitive dust emissions from operations involving excavation, grading, and clearing of land
and disposal of waste. He shall not allow emissions of fugitive dust from any transport,
handling, construction or storage activity to remain visible in atmosphere beyond the
property line of emission source for any prolonged period of time without notification to the
Client.
R&C INFRAENGINEERS PVT-APS JV shall use construction equipment designed and
equipped to minimize or control air pollution. He shall maintain evidence of such design and
equipment and make these available for inspection by Client.
If after commencement of construction activity, R&C INFRAENGINEERS PVT-APS JV
equipment or methods of working are causing unacceptable air pollution impacts then these
shall be inspected and remedial proposals shall be drawn up by R&C Infrastructure pvt

temporary or permanent cessation of use of certain items of equipment.
The noise monitoring requirements including monitoring locations are given in the project
SHE Manual.
Control Measures
Construction material should be operated and transported in such a manner as not to create
unnecessary noise as outlined below:
Perform Work within the procedures outlined herein and comply with applicable codes,
regulations, and standards established by the Central and State Government and their
agencies.
Keep noise to the lowest reasonably practicable level. Appropriate measures will be taken
to ensure that construction works will not cause any unnecessary or excessive noise, which
may disturb the occupants of any nearby dwellings, schools, hospitals, or premises with
similar sensitivity to noise. Use equipment with effective noise-suppression devices and
employ other noise control measures as to protect the public.
Schedule and conduct operations in a manner that will minimize, to the greatest extent
feasible, the disturbance to the public in areas adjacent to the construction activities and to
occupants of buildings in the vicinity of the construction activities.
R&C INFRAENGINEERS PVT-APS JV shall submit to the CLIENT, a Noise Monitoring and
Control Plan (NMCP) under contract specific Site Environmental Plan. It shall include full and
comprehensive details of all powered mechanical equipment, which he proposes to use
during daytime and night time and of his proposed working methods and noise level
reduction measures. The NMCP shall include detailed noise calculations and vibration levels
to demonstrate the anticipated noise generation and vibrations by R&C Infrastructure
Limited.
The NMCP prepared by R&C Infrastructure Limited, shall guide the implementation of
construction activity. The NMCP will be reviewed on a regular basis and updated as
necessary to assure that current construction activities are addressed. It may appear as a
regular agenda item in project coordination meetings, if noise is an issue at any location in
the contract.
Occupational Noise
Protection against the effects of occupational noise exposure should be provided when the
sound level exceeds the threshold values as provided in Project HSE Manual.
When employees are subjected to sound levels exceeding those listed in the Table, feasible
administrative or engineering controls should be utilized as given in the contract document
and CLIENT’s Project SHE Manual.
If such controls fail to reduce sound levels within the levels of the table, personal protective
equipment shall be provided and used to reduce sound levels within the levels of the table.
When the daily noise exposure is composed of two or more periods of noise exposure of
different levels, their combined effect should be considered, rather than the individual effect
of each. Exposure to different levels for various periods of time shall be computed according
to the formula and sample computations as given in project HSE Manual.

deforestation and defacing of natural landscape.
Construction operations shall be done such as to prevent any avoidable destruction, scarring
or defacing of natural surroundings in the vicinity of work.
Where destruction, scarring, damage or defacing may occur as a result of operations relating
to Permanent or Temporary works, the same shall be repaired, replanted or otherwise
corrected. All work areas shall be smoothened and graded in a manner to conform to natural
appearance of the landscape as directed by the CLIENT and as per contract provision.
A suggested list of trees/shrubs suitable for planting and landscaping is found in CLIENT’s
Project HSE Manual and as per contract provision.
