7. Potential Environmental Impacts and Management Existing Management Practices Heritage Minerals has developed an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) that forms the basis for an Environmental Management System (EMS), aligned with ISO14001:2015, to manage environmental impacts. The EMS will ultimately be certified to ISO14001:2015. 7.1 The EMP has been developed specifically for the Project with reference to Heritage Minerals’ standards and procedures, along with relevant regulatory requirements to form part of the EMS. The EMP describes how Heritage Minerals will administer the environmental objectives, strategies, commitments and conditions for the Project, as per the EA. The EMP focuses on key processes and procedures that will be employed to aid in the delivery of commitments and management of activities and personnel for the Project. This will ensure that all relevant environmental aspects are identified, and potential impacts appropriately avoided, mitigated or managed, in accordance with a risk-based approach. There are several environmental procedures that form part of the EMP as follows: ∕ Audit and Inspection Procedure; ∕ Consultation and Communication Procedure; ∕ Document Control Procedure; ∕ Dust And Air Quality Procedure; ∕ Emergency Management Procedure; ∕ Fauna Management Procedure; ∕ Fire Management Procedure; ∕ Flora Management Procedure; ∕ Hazardous Substances Procedures; ∕ Heritage and Cultural Procedure; ∕ Incident Management Procedure; ∕ Management Review Procedure; ∕ Noise and Vibration Procedure; ∕ Procurement Procedure; ∕ Soil Management Procedure; ∕ Stakeholder Consultation Procedure; ∕ Waste Management Procedure; and ∕ Water Management Procedure. The procedures describe standard controls to be implemented by Heritage Minerals in development of the Project. Relevant management controls as outlined within these procedures are discussed in the following sections.
