Baseline Study and Ongoing Environmental Monitoring Sample Clauses

Baseline Study and Ongoing Environmental Monitoring. (a) In order to determine the state of the environment in the Contract Area at the Effective Date, Contractor shall cause an environmental base line study (under the Minimum Obligatory Work Programme as referred to in Appendix X) to be carried out by a recognized international environmental consulting firm selected by Contractor, and acceptable to SOCAR. SOCAR shall nominate representatives to participate in preparation of the study in collaboration with such firm and Contractor representatives. The costs of such study shall be borne by Contractor, except that SOCAR shall be liable for all costs associated with the representatives nominated by SOCAR. The costs associated with this study shall be subject to Cost Recovery in accordance with Article XI. Contractor shall conduct ongoing environmental monitoring of its operations. Data collected will be evaluated at least annually to determine if any practices and discharge standards need to be revised. The Environmental Strategy included in Appendix IX outlines the environmental program that Contractor (and SOCAR in the event it carries out operations on the Xxxxxx-1 platform pursuant to Article 10.3 or operations with or without a Third Party pursuant to Article 15.2(e)) will follow during the course of Petroleum Operations within the Contract Area. The evaluation of data collected during the ongoing monitoring program, together with the baseline study, will provide a basis for determining whether any unacceptable environmental impact has been caused by Contractor in the course of conducting Petroleum Operations and for which Contractor may be liable under Article 20.2, or whether the conditions leading to such impact existed prior to the commencement of Petroleum Operations or otherwise from activities conducted by a party other than Contractor. SOCAR and Contractor shall review the environmental base line study and consult to determine whether any remedial action is warranted to mitigate the effects of any impact which occurs or has occurred from such prior conditions, and if so, whether a programme of remediation could be carried out by Contractor, it being agreed among the Parties that Contractor shall not be liable for any of the expense of such a remedial programme. Any such remedial program undertaken will be considered outside the scope of the Environmental Strategy and will be conducted pursuant to the terms of a separate agreement between SOCAR and Contractor.
