Environmental Mitigation and Monitoring Plan (EMMP Based off template #1 in IEE) IEE Activity 5.3: Grants Under Contract small-scale processing and production efficiency improvements Procurement of onion harvester, chive cutter, and onion collector. Activity Identified Environmental Impacts Mitigation Measure(s) Monitoring Indicator(s) Monitoring and Reporting Frequency Responsible Party(ies) 1.1 Equipment procurement plans Equipment can have potential impacts on human health, such as: Equipment procurement plans include environmental considerations. Proper equipment and appropriate technology should be used to minimize the environmental impact such as: cost-effective equipment Documented procurement plan as part of grant files; Equipment selection criteria include the environmental aspects such as safety feature to stop the machine when there is a clog so there are no amputations. Prior to releasing solicitation IP is responsible for implementation of mitigation measures 1.2 Identification of equipment suppliers Supplied equipment can have potential impacts on human health Select the suppliers with proven experiences to provide high-quality environmentally sound service Evaluate the experience/reputation of suppliers; Review the technical characteristics of proposed equipment. Before equipment suppliers are chosen by the IP 1.6 Small-scale on farm production efficiency improvements (onion harvester, chive On-farm equipment and new production methods may have a potential impact on land, water, and human health Apply, as relevant, mitigation measures related to equipment procurement Promote, as relevant, good agricultural practices including climate-resilient agriculture in primary production such as soil testing to determine appropriate fertilization needs; use of compost; good fertilizer Contract with authorized landfill or specially designed place for compost (if needed). Training register for: Equipment safe use; At the beginning of activity. Periodic site visits for AGROGRUPPROD is responsible for implementation of mitigation measures
cutter, and onion collector) application practices to avoid surface and ground water pollution; avoid working wet soil to avoid soil compaction; apply soil conservation measures (such as crop rotation, cover crops, conservation tillage, planted windbreaks) to prevent soil loss from erosion or reduced fertility due to over usage or salinization; Any wastes generated on site shall be transferred to an authorized landfill; Potential spills of fuel/oil from the equipment/tractors shall be cleaned and absorbent pads shall be used to mitigate impact; Working methods; Safety notes. Immediate report of any spillage (oil/fuel) to IP; Spillages record keeping. Maintenance plan of equipment. Tractors to be checked to make sure it is not leaking oil or fuel before coming on-site; Presence of absorbents/spill clean up materials in case of an overfill for any fillings; Cleanup quickly in the event of an overfill Tractors will be fueled at the garage if possible. Plastic drop cloth under the fuel fill tube to catch any overfills if filled on-site verification 1.10 Worker Health and Safety Potential impacts on human health, environment and natural resources; An unhealthy Worker Safety Measures Installation of procured equipment to be conducted by trained workers; Ensure workers have access to all necessary PPE for working with on-site equipment and/or handling products; Documented safety regulations and operational guidelines Inspection of protective equipment available, Inspection of medical first aid kits At project initiation, at least quarterly during AGROGRUPPROD is responsible for implementation of mitigation measures
workforce may be unproductive, miss work too often and make costly mistakes. Ensure workers are complying with training procedures; Ensure workers are complying with guidance of training on proper use of on-site equipment; Establish and maintain documented safety procedures and ensure workers/equipment users understand and follow safety instructions supplied on equipment labels and or described in appropriate guidelines/protocols; All users of the machinery/equipment /operation system been given adequate training in safe operation, correct use, risks and precautions; Make available where necessary protection and first aid kits; Establish and maintain a fire control system and fire-fighting equipment; Control access to Operational and maintenance areas and clearly display signs to enhance avoidance of hazards; Compliance with local Legislation: HG-95/2009, Labor Code, Law 154/2009 Inspection of fire protection equipment Number of accidents and injuries (workers, visitors) – register required by law. Existence of precaution signs and control system to access storage area Operations and Maintenance manual with maintenance plan for the equipment operation. Periodic site visits for verification
