                       Title: Outline Construction Environmental Management Plan (OCEMP) 
                       1    INTRODUCTION 
                       1.1   BACKGROUND 
                       1.1.1 Clifton Scannell Emerson Associates (CSEA) have prepared this Outline Construction 
                       Environmental Management Plan (OCEMP) to support to Part 8 planning application for the Celbridge 
                       Pedestrian and Cycle Bridge. 
                        
                       1.1.2 The OCEMP applies to all works associated with the construction of the proposed civil and 
                       structural works including the pre-construction site clearance works. As a contractor has not yet been 
                       appointed, this OCEMP has not been formally adopted and further development and commitment to 
                       the OCEMP will be undertaken following selection of Contractors and before commencement of site 
                       works. 
                        
                       1.1.3 This Outline Construction Environmental Management Plan (OCEMP) sets out the procedures, 
                       standards, work practices and management responsibilities to address potential environmental effects 
                       that may arise from construction of the Proposed Development. 
                        
                       1.1.4 The OCEMP provides the environmental management framework for the appointed Contractors 
                       and Sub Contractors as they incorporate the mitigating principles to ensure that the work is carried out 
                       with minimal impact on the environment. The construction management staff as well as Contractors 
                       and Sub Contractors staff must comply with the requirements and constraints set forth in this OCEMP 
                       in developing their CEMP. The key environmental aspects associated with the construction of the 
                       Celbridge Pedestrian and Cycle Bridge, and the appropriate mitigation and monitoring controls, are 
                       identified in the OCEMP. 
                        
                       1.1.5 The implementation of the requirements of the OCEMP will ensure that the construction phase of 
                       the Proposed Development is carried out in accordance with the commitments made by Kildare 
                       County Council in the planning application process for the Proposed Development, and as required 
                       under the planning approval. Once adopted, the CEMP is considered a living document that will be 
                       updated according to changing circumstances on the Proposed Development and to reflect current 
                       construction activities. The CEMP will be reviewed on an ongoing basis during the construction 
                       process and will include information on the review procedures. 
                        
                       1.16 This document should be read in conjunction with the following documents prepared for the 
                       proposed development: 
                        
                             Ecological Impact Assessment (RPS, 2022); 
                             Archaeological and Built Heritage Assessment Report (John Cronin and Associates, 2022); 
                              and 
                             Landscape and Visual Assessment Report (RPS, 2022). 
                        
                       1.2   SITE LOCATION 
                       1.2.1 The Proposed Development is a pedestrian and cycle bridge on the downstream side of the 
                       existing road bridge in Celbridge town. The Site Location can be seen on Figure 1.1 and Figure 1.2.
