14                         Implementation Schedule of Mitigation Measures

14.1                   Introduction

14.1.1             This chapter presents the implementation schedule of mitigation measures for the project. Table 14.1 (also contained in Appendix A of the EM&A Manual) summarizes the details of the recommended mitigation measures for all works areas. For each recommended mitigation measures, both the location and timing for the measure have clearly been identified as well as the parties responsible for implementing the measure and for maintenance (where applicable).
