Please refer to the Organization Chart for the information flows and the responsible parties in BOTAÅž and its Contractor. With reference to the Environmental Management Plan (EMP), monitoring and control are of critical importance for minimizing the environmental impacts during project implementation. BOTAÅž Management (refer to the chain in the chart) together with the department that will be responsible for the construction activities will ensure that all construction related activities of Contractor(s) comply with approved EMP. To achieve this, BOTAÅž will regularly monitor and evaluate the Contractor’s field activities and performance through auditors. Environmental Engineer of BOTAÅž directly connected to Underground Storage Manager, will be responsible for coordinating and supervising the monitoring activities. BOTAÅž will also carry out an independent auditing programme through an Environmental Monitoring Company, which will inspect the field activities of Contractor(s) and directly report to BOTAÅž. Roles and Responsibilities BOTAÅž Contractor(s) will be responsible for the adoption of the EMP during the construction phase, implementation of all mitigation measures stated in EMP and required to be in compliance with the EMP together with the project’s environmental standards. In order to achieve this, BOTAÅž Contractor(s) will adopt a self-control/monitoring mechanism and formulate his own management plan including regular self-inspection and auditing programme, which will be reviewed in terms of consistency with EMP and approved by BOTAÅž prior to construction. BOTAÅž Contractor(s) through assigning a full time “Environmental Engineerâ€? will prepare the progress reports (weekly) based on the monitoring plan detailing works completed within the respective period, results of measurements and supervisions in addition to the problems encountered on the site and have direct contact with BOTAÅž Environmental Engineer. The progress reports should also include a work schedule for the next period.

Environmental Monitoring Company will weekly review and comment on the weekly reports written and presented by the Contractor(s), inspect the work sites, review the environmental performance of the project and the Contractor’s field activities, carry out environmental control analyses and data collection as defined in EMP, and report the findings both to the Contractor’s Environmental Engineer and BOTAÅž Environmental Engineer, in weekly basis. The reports should detail environmental problems encountered on the site, deficiencies in protection measures and recommendations for solutions. Responsibility for solving the reported problems and remedying the reported deficiencies rests with the Contractor(s) may possibly need approval from BOTAS if either the schedule is affected or money is needed to make the recommended solutions. The Environmental Monitoring Company should integrate into this studies the site visits and environmental control analyses, and propose solutions for any bottlenecks environmentally encountered on the site. Weekly and Monthly reports by Environmental Monitoring Company will be provided to BOTAÅž for review and approval of BOTAÅž Environmental Engineer who will evaluate data collected and analyses, perform verification visits during construction and operation activities in case needed, and prepare a final report including summary of the activities and recommended actions, if necessary.as monthly basis, which needs to be reviewed and approved by the UGS Manager. In case any significant action is required (such as stopping the construction or needs money), BOTAÅž Management will be informed. At the project site, daily meetings initially (but the frequency may be changed by BOTAÅž, depending on the work progress) with the participation of Environmental Monitoring Company’s, Contractor’s and BOTAŞ’s site supervisors, to discuss the daily activities, and take decisions. With BOTAS authorization and approval, the Contractor(s) will be responsible for adoption of the decisions and to perform the required actions. Compliance and non-compliance with EMP identified during the inspection and audits will be recorded by Environmental Monitoring Company and reported to BOTAÅž immediately. BOTAÅž Management will take necessary actions in such a case stop the activities in the case of Contractor’s non-compliance with EMP and take the corrective actions. BOTAÅž will submit Summary Reports to World Bank quarterly basis indicating the activities and actions taken, as well as project progress. The monitoring process should involve the contribution of the MoEU. The Independent Environmental Monitoring Company will also report to the MoEU periodically during the construction activities in a requested time schedule and format. In accordance with Article 18 of EIA Regulation in force upon issue in Official Gazette no. 26939 dated 17.07.2008 within the framework of Environment Law no.2872, environmental monitoring and auditing works shall be performed by subject matter engineers and specialists deemed appropriate for project investment during construction, operation and post-operation periods of projects PAGE 37/ 44 TUZ GOLU BASIN UNDERGROUND NATURAL GAS STORAGE PROJECT EIA ADDENDUM II ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN which received “EIA Positive Decisionâ€? from Ministry of Environment and Urban Planning, and this provision shall also be complied in the scope of this project. In this regards, the applications within the scope of Final EIA Report will be submitted to the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization in a report at 6-month intervals. During the operation phase of the project, the unit in BOTAÅž that will be responsible for the operation will be totally responsible for the monitoring of the activities and reporting. BOTAÅž, at that stage, will either continue on working with the Environmental Monitoring Company, which performs the monitoring during the construction phase, or hire another company (in a time based-reimbursable basis) for making the necessary measurements as defined in the operation phase of the monitoring plan and reporting the measurement results to BOTAÅž. The environmental engineer of the department responsible for the operation of the project will review and evaluate these results and prepare the reports quarterly including any recommended actions to the BOTAÅž Management.
