PROCEDURE FOR IDENTIFICATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS
PURPOSE
THIS PROCEDURE DEALS WITH IDENTIFICATION, EVALUATION, and review
of environmental aspects and their impacts.
scope
This procedure covers all ACTIVITIES, services and products of the MPPL.
PROCEDURE
The management REPRESENTATIVE (mr) forms a cross functional team and in coordination with external consultant will conduct an environmental review once in 12 months ( yearly ) and provide the results for assessment to the MANAGING DIRECTOR.
The results of finding are documented in the initial environmental review report. If the environmental review team determines that additional information’s needed to evaluate product or activity. Mr will assign the responsibility for collecting the information’s to appropriate team member. List of environmental aspects is determined.
The results of the most recent environmental review are reviewed as part of the management review PROCESS, based on the REVIEW; it determines the need to update the environmental impact evaluation.
Assessment and evaluation of aspects shall be done by deept. Heads for determining the significance of impact as per environmental aspect creation evaluation table. The Director undertakes the detailed evaluation of identified environmental aspects. The significant aspects are prioritized after discussion to take up for setting of objectives.
an aspect shall be considered highly significant if it rates above 250 points as per the table , if it rates between 100 and 200 points it shall be considered as medium significant and less than 100 points shall be considered low significant.
Environmental aspects that are covered under legislative requirements shall be considered highly significant if any such fails to meet the requirements irrespective of the low rating in the table.
The list of aspects and criteria for significance evaluation is kept up to date. New environmental issues ( aspects ) as decided in management review meeting may be considered in ems.
Responsibility and authority
Section in charge is responsible for identifying environmental aspects in his area.
Mr is responsible for conducting the environmental review.

EP2: Evaluation of significant Environmental Aspects & Impacts
0.0 Scope
This procedure describes the responsibilities and methods for determining aspects,
impacts and their significance of MPPL operations.
1.0 Purpose
This procedure exists to ensure that MPPL significant environmental aspects and impacts are identified in order that the EMS may address them.
2.0 Responsibilities
- the Director must ensuring that this document is updated as often as is
- necessary to ensure that it is relevant to MPPL working practices.
- The Director is responsible for ensuring that all managers & supervisors are aware of those aspects & impacts, which are generated by their work.
3.0 Procedure:
3.1 Aspects Evaluation
The environmental aspects of MPPL operations include:
- energy consumption
- resource consumption
The Director determines the aspect and impacts using an input – output process model , recording the resources used and products developed .
Having determined these, the Director then determines the impacts of these aspects and impacts under normal conditions.
3.2 Significance criteria test
Having determined an impact, the Director then uses the criteria test to determine whether or not an aspect of MPPL operations is environmentally significant. The questions are listed in order of priority.
- Is the issue controlled by environmental legislation?
- Is an effluent’s / emission’s / waste’s quantity or concentration at units controlled by an environmental regulatory permit ?
- Has anyone complained about the effluent/emissions/waste?
- Can the emissions be the cause of an upset on pollution control equipment ?
- Does the process consume more than 5% of the company’s energy requirements ?
- In an emergency, is there potential for an unintentional spillage of liquid or atmospheric emission migrating outside the boundaries of the site and causing environmental damage ?
The significant aspects are rated on from 4.3.1 F1(appendix-1), in order of significance. The greater the number of yes answers, the more significant the aspect.
The list of significant , ranked impacts is then used as a trigger for setting the objectives and targets.
