2.3 WMP DOCUMENT

This guidance document is about preparing and submitting the WMP document and managing the
proposed mitigation plans. The WMP document needs to be prepared and approved by
PERHILITAN as part of EMP approval before the project can commence. This document (as part of
EMP) needs to be prepared only after the EIA is approved by the DOE (with condition). The flow
of processes in preparing and submitting the WMP and managing the proposed mitigation plans
is detailed in Figure 2.3.

Figure 2.3: Steps and procedures adopted by PERHILITAN in preparing and submitting the
Wildlife Management Plan (WMP).

Detailed requirements on how WMP needs to be prepared for submission to PERHILITAN are
discussed in the subsequent chapters. Each submitted WMP document will be reviewed by the
PERHILITAN Review Officer within a certain timeframe before the document can be vetted at the
Technical Review Meeting for approval. If PERHILITAN approves the WMP document, the Terms of
Agreements shall be signed (Agreed) by the proponent to follow all the proposed mitigation
measures prescribed in the WMP. Written approval notification shall be sent immediately to DOE
to complement the EMP process (for approval). Similarly, if PERHILITAN does not approve the
WMP document, the proponent shall be notified in writing and be given the opportunity to amend
the document according to suggestions made by the Review Officers. If no amendments are made
during the prescribed timeframe, the document shall be considered to have failed to meet the
approval requirements of PERHILITAN. Similarly, written notification shall be made to DOE.

Approval of the WMP document is not a guarantee for the approval of the EMP. The proposed
project can commence only after DOE’s EMP approval (See Figure 1.1).
