• Prepare proposals that complement said measures in cases where their application is not fully achieving the expected effects.
• Monitor the development of the action in order to detect impacts not assessed a priori, which must be corrected subsequently.
• Design the appropriate corrective measures responsible for avoiding, minimizing and/or correcting effects not detected a priori.
• Draft periodic monthly reports on compliance with the provisions of the AEA, as well as verification of its compliance or non-compliance.
• Draft annual reports that include the environmental incidents of the operation, as well as the corrective measures taken and, if any, the preventive measures taken, including the documentation generated or evidencing their treatment.
• Preparation of possible communications to the different stakeholders of the wharf as well as to the Territorial Delegation itself.
• Verification of compliance with the AEA and the 1995 Environmental Impact Declaration and on-site collection of the information necessary for issuing the monthly report of the different parties involved in bulk handling; for this purpose, the person in charge of Environmental Management is obliged to make 2 visits per month to the port of Garrucha. Each visit has a duration equivalent to a full working day.

Control of the records issued for inclusion in the monthly monitoring reports.

2. Advice on port environmental issues
Alvéncia provides technical assistance on any environmental aspect related to atmospheric emissions, waste, discharges, processing of authorizations and others that may affect or impact the different activities carried out throughout the port facility, regardless of whether or not they are related to bulk handling. If necessary, Alvéncia issues a report.
