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 carrot, beetroot top-lifting harvester 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. Equipment procurement plans include environmental considerations as described earlier. 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 environmental aspects such as safety feature to stop the machine when there is a clog so there are no amputations. Prior to awarding the grant. IP and grantee are responsible for implementation of mitigation measures. 1.2 Identification of equipment suppliers. Supplied equipment can have potential impacts on human health. Select suppliers with proven experience 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 grantee. 1.6 Small-scale on farm production efficiency improvements On-farm equipment and new production methods may have a potential impact on land, 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 Water and soil analysis; Contract with authorized landfill; Warehouse for fertilizers (locked storage); At project initiation, periodically during operation.

Existence of precaution signs and control system to access storage area; and Operations and Maintenance manual with maintenance plan for the equipment. Tractors to be checked to make sure it is not leaking oil or fuel before coming on-site; Presence of absorbents in case of an overfill for any fillings; Cleanup quickly in the event of an Periodic site visits for verification is responsible for implementation of mitigation measures.
overfill on-site; Plastic drop cloth under the fuel fill tube to catch any overfills if filled on-site 1.10 Worker Health and Safety Potential impacts on human health, environment and natural resources; An unhealthy workforce may be unproductive, miss work too often and make costly mistakes. Worker Safety Measures Ensure workers have access to all necessary PPE for working with on-site equipment and/or handling products; Ensure workers are complying with training procedures; The tractors might be fueled on-site but must have spill clean-up materials and absorbent kit in place; Ensure workers are complying with guidance of training on proper use of 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; Ensure all users of the machinery/equipment/operation system are given adequate training in safe operation, correct use, risks, and precautions; Make available where necessary protection and first aid kits; Documented safety regulations and operational guidelines; Inspection of protective equipment available; Inspection of medical first aid kits; Inspection of fire protection equipment; Number of accidents and injuries (workers, visitors) – register required by law; At project initiation, at least quarterly during operation. Periodic site visits for verification IP Environmental Specialist ”SANDUNELU” SRL is responsible for implementation of mitigation measures
