For this Project, ECC proposes to only develop a comprehensive environmental management plan (EMP) for the following reason: Susuwe Island Lodge was already constructed in 2003, thus predating the promulgation of the Environmental Management Act (EMA), No. 7 of 2007.

This is a pre-established lodge. A fire that occurred in 2015 severely damaged the facilities, which now need extensive renovations.
