is the PMP, of which the EMP is a part. One of the purposes of monitor-
ing and controlling a project is to compare the environmental objectives/
requirements listed in the project statement of work with actual regulations
and when necessary take corrective action to ensure compliance. Another
purpose of monitoring and controlling a project is “implementing risk
response plans, tracking identified risks, monitoring residual risks, iden-
tifying new risks, and evaluating risk process effectiveness throughout the
project,” including environmental risks identified earlier in the project
8
development. Nothing would be different for the EMP. It is just that EMP
would have to be one of the inputs. EMP may have its own change control
process, and is part of the project-integrated change control process, or it
may be included only as part of the integrated change control process.
