Abstract

These Regulations set out procedures for the proper preparation of environmental audit reports for existing and proposed projects that may result in the issuing of a environmental compliance certificate. The Swaziland Environment Authority shall: (a) identify and maintain a list of undertakings which cause concern to the Authority or to the public because of their impact on the environment and shall publish the list of these undertakings in its annual report; (b) require an operator of an identified or listed undertaking to submit an EA report and a CMP to the Authority and that operator shall submit to the Authority the EA report and the CMP within six (6) months after notification to do so. The certificate states that a proposed project under consideration is not likely to cause unacceptable environmental impacts and that the proponent shall manage the construction and operation of the project in accordance with an approved comprehensive mitigation plan. "Comprehensive mitigation plan" means a document containing a description of the mitigation measures to be implemented that would prevent, reduce or otherwise manage the environmental impacts of a project and done according to the reporting requirements of the Second Schedule. The Authority shall annually identify and maintain a list of projects which cause concern to the Authority, because of their impact on the environment and shall publish the list of such projects in its annual report. An operator of an identified or listed project is required to submit an environmental audit report and a comprehensive mitigation plan.
