3.3 Environmental Monitoring and Compliance

Based on the revised initial environmental evaluation IEE approved in 2011 for the project and in accordance with the EMMR in Appendix D, monitoring and mitigation plans are in place to ensure no significant environmental impacts are occurring for those actions identified in the IEE with a negative determination subject to conditions. The key activity conducted this year that has conditions is the work related to water and sanitation improvements at landing sites. In this respect, an environmental report was completed by GAMWORKS for the WASH intervention. An Environmental Mitigation and Monitoring Plan EMMP has been developed specifically for the construction phase of the WASH infrastructures and is included in URI’s FY13 sub-agreement with GAMWORKS. The USAIDWA Environmental Officer visited WASH activities in The Gambia in March, 2013. 43
