Environmental and Social Impact Assessment Addendum Final

13 MANAGEMENT AND MONITORING

13.1 Introduction BP’s general approach to environmental and social management applies the ‘plan, do, check, act’ principles of environmental and social protection. These principles include:

• Plan – prior assessment of potential environmental and social impact • Do – implementing design and mitigation measures that seek to avoid, reduce or

minimise potential impact • Check – monitoring performance and the efficacy of the mitigation measures that

are implemented • Act – auditing and tracking the implementation of corrective actions.

13.2 ESIA Addendum The SCPX Final ESIA, Chapter 13, presented a thorough description of how the above principles will be applied to the proposed SCPX Project within the construction and operation phases. The updated design of the SCPX pipeline, including the proposed additional section of pipeline described in this Addendum, is not anticipated to affect the approach set out for environmental and social management and monitoring. Therefore, the management framework set out in the SCPX Final ESIA Chapter 13 is equally applicable to the additional section of the SCPX pipeline. Environmental and social impacts in the construction phase of the proposed additional section of pipeline will be managed through the implementation of the construction-phase environmental and social management system (ESMS), which includes the Project environmental and social management and monitoring plan (ESMMP) provided in Appendix D of the SCPX Final ESIA, and supporting documents. Appendix D of the ESIA Addendum contains a register of the site-specific updates to the set of topic-specific management plans (e.g. waste management; pollution prevention) and addresses the further commitments made as a result of the Project design updates described in this ESIA Addendum. The commitments register set out in Appendix E is the definitive source of all such commitments made in this document. During the operations phase the SCPX pipeline, including the additional section, will be integrated into BP’s Azerbaijan Georgia Turkey (AGT) Onshore Pipelines phase ESMS and will follow applicable existing BP policies. This is discussed in Sections 6.6 and 13.4 of the SCPX Final ESIA.
