I. INTRODUCTION

1. The environmental management plan (EMP) provided herein is one of four EMPs that have been prepared for the four subprojects of the Corridor Towns Development Project (CTDP) in the towns of Bavet, Neak Loeung, Battambang, and Poipet, Cambodia. The EMP for Neak Loeung updates and reformats the original EMP that was prepared for the subproject in 2012. The parent Initial Environmental Evaluation (IEE) of the Neak Loeung subproject on which the EMP is based is provided under the IEE for Subprojects of Bavet, Neak Loeung, Battambang, and Poipet under separate cover. A. Project Overview 2. Updating of the EMP commenced with the preparation of detailed engineering designs (DEDs) for the Flood Control Dike and its components to ensure that all potential environmental impacts of these components are considered. The review of the original IEE and EMP focuses mainly on the changes made in facility siting, design, processes/technologies selection and resource utilization, sufficiency to ADB’s safeguards1 adherence, as well as inclusion of climate resiliency measures to the designs. 3. The updated EMP covers the components of the subproject as per the original feasibility studies of the Neak Loeung Flood Control Dike. Detailed descriptions of the dike and its components are provided in the Final Detailed Engineering Design Report of each component, which was completed in October 2019. Drawings and plans of the main components are also presented in the Report. 4. The proposed flood control dike is envisioned to provide the urban infrastructure that would mitigate flooding and stimulate economic activities and improve trade and investments. It will also serve as access road for the local residents particularly during the rainy season. The proposed dike will be constructed along the planned roads and will eventually be part of the permanent road system in Neak Loeung. The area will include commercial and business establishments and residential houses. 5. The updated EMP defines which management and mitigation measures are applicable to each scope of work. Contractors shall prepare, and submit CEMP to MPWT for review and approval, and maintain and implement the EMP. B. Subproject Components 6. The Neak Loeung subproject consists of flood control dike (earth embankment) with a height of 6.8 m, crest width of 7 m, and chainage length of around 4,400 m and with the following components:

Access road with a width of 5 m on top of the flood control dike; Central storm drainage for the 363-ha enclosed flood protected area; Detention pond with storage capacity of 200,813 m3 designed to reduce peak

storm water drainage runoffs; and Pumping station with peak discharge rate able to evacuate internal storm

water runoffs. 7. The layout of the Flood Control Dike and its components are presented in Figure 1.

8. Flood Protection Dike. The dike, an earth embankment, will be constructed starting eastward from the existing road dike along the Mekong River for about 0.8 km then bend northward for 3.6 km up to the existing road perpendicular to the National Road No. 1. To limit seepage through the dike, the bulk dike fill will be comprised of well compressed silts and clays. Crushed rock not exceeding 225 mm and thoroughly compacted will form the capping layer. A Geotextile will be placed between the capping layer and silt and clay layer to mitigate the soil materials being carried away by the flow of water. 9. The dike will have a height of 6.8 m from ground level with total base thickness of 41. 0 m. When completed, the crest of the dike will be at elevation 9.0 m above mean sea level (mamsl) based on the maximum flood level of 8.4 m at 50-year return period, plus climate change factor of +5%, and a free board of 0.3 m giving a total elevation of 9.0 mamsl. Access ramp about 3 m wide will be provided on the eastern section of the dike to provide access for crossing to both sides of the dike for people and animals. 10. Access Road. The flood protection dike will have a crest width of 7.0 m, which will be designed for a limited access road. The 7-meter crest width will have an effective total road width of 5 m for a two-way, two-lane road, with each lane having 2.5-m width. The remaining 1-meter on both sides can be used as shoulders with safety barriers on both shoulder edges. 11. The cross section of the dike is presented in Figure 2.

Figure 2: Cross Section of the Flood Control Dike


12. Central Storm Water Drainage. A gravity flow internal storm water drainage network will be provided to drain flood waters from the 363-ha protected area. The proposed drainage is designed considering a storm event for design return period of 5 years.2 Considering a possibility of water logging in the area, an earthen drainage channel is proposed which will help in lowering down the ground water to some extent and avoid the water logging problem. The length of earthen central drainage channel is about 1,500 m that will be connected to a 450 m rectangular reinforced cement concrete (RCC) channel and 50 m box culvert under the flood protection dike to safely discharge the storm water outside the protected area. The proposed alignment of the drainage would coincide with the present alignment of the Preaek Thom inside the protected area. Two mechanical sluice gates will be installed at the inlet of the box culvert to prevent the backflow of water when water is pumped out from the detention pond. Manning’s equation is used to determine the size of drainage channels for both the earthen and concrete canals and the respective safe velocity to avoid the scouring and erosion of channel beds. 13. The cross section, plan and profile of a segment of the central drainage channel are shown in Figure 3.

2 Five-year return period is adopted for internal drainage, however main structures, such as detention pond and pumping capacity including the main RCC drainage before detention pond is designed for 50 year return period rainfall intensity.

Figure 3: Plan, Cross Sections and Profile of the Central Drainage Channel


14. Detention Pond. A detention pond is proposed to capture the significant volume of peak discharge for controlling the storm generated flooding in Neak Loeung area. During the wet months from June to December water level in Mekong River is high hence, storm water from Neak Loeung cannot be discharged through gravity flow. During such cases, a detention pond will store a peak volume of water and discharged through pump station connected to detention pond. A Hydrologic Modelling System (HEC-HMS) is also used for determining the runoff from the rainfall event and compared with the peak discharge computed manually using rational method, which shows relatively similar values. 15. Based on simulation results, for a 5 year return period rainfall a detention capacity of 140,000 m3 is required with pumping capacity of 5 m3/s. Similarly, a detention pond of capacity 250,000 m3 is required to incorporate the peak discharge volume for 50 year return period rainfall including effect of climate change with a pumping capacity of 6.8 m3/s. It is assumed that for extreme 50 year return period rainfall, additional auxiliary pump will be also used for pumping the storm water. The sizing of detention pond is as follows:

Base Length of Detention Pond = 250 m Bottom Width of Detention Pond = 165 m Height = 4.5 m Total Depth with freeboard (FB) of 0.3 m = 4.8 m Area = 803.25 m2 Side Slope = 1 V : 3 H Capacity of Detention Pond = 200,813 m3 Capacity of Detention Pond with FB = 215,280 m3

16. The general layout of the detention pond is shown in Figure 4.

Figure 4: General Layout of Detention Pond


17. The periphery of the detention pond, including the pumping station will be fenced off for safety the people and security of the facilities. 18. Pumping Station. The proposed pumping station will house four submersible pumps, three working and one stand-by. The Pumping Station will include a pump house and will be equipped with mechanical screens, stand-by generator sets, and sluice gates. The pump will be close coupled with the submersible electric motor, connected with a supplied power for operation of 400 volts, 3 phase, 50 hertz, connected with a minimum length of heavy duty submersible electric power cable from the nearest termination box up to the motor. Each pump shall be supplied with a discharge column of suitable diameter and shall produce the required flow and should deliver the required head and with the minimum efficiency. Details of the pump(s) are shown below.

Pumping Rate per pump = 1.6 m3/s Number of Pumps = 4 units Total Capacity = 5.0 m3/s Static Head = 8.5 m Total Dynamic Head = 9 m Efficiency = 77 % Motor Rating = 250 Kw (max.) Voltage = 400 volts Phase = 3 Frequency = 50 Hz Minimum Cable Length = 12 m Max. Discharge Column Diameter = 1,200 mm Max. Discharge Elbow Diameter = 600 mm Rotative Speed of Mixed Propeller Pump ≯ 960 rpm

19. Proposed Alignment. The proposed alignment of the flood control dike will traverse towards the east direction and curve up north to connect to the existing road going to pagoda as shown in Figure 5. The alignment of the 600-meter existing road to the pagoda will be retained, however, it is recommended that around 500 m of this existing road be “removed and replaced” with the proposed flood control dike because of the mismatch in the composition of the existing road and the proposed flood control dike which may affect stability. The remaining 100-m of the existing road, which will not be “removed and replaced”, will only be subject to paving and re-profiling of the finished surface to match the finished surface elevation of National Road 1 without affecting nearby households.

C. Location of Flood Control Dike 20. Neak Loeung town which belongs to the administrative district of Peam Ro in Prey Veng Province is situated about 61 km southeast of the capital city of Phnom Penh. The second Mekong River Friendship Bridge connects the east to the west side of Neak Loeung and link the major towns and cities along the Sothern Economic Corridor (SEC). With an approximately 2,918 hectares of land area, it is expected that the town will develop into a major agro-industrial and economic growth center. The location map of the proposed flood control dike with its approximate coordinates are shown in Figure 6.

III. SUMMARY OF POTENTIAL IMPACTS 33. Potential impacts, including the subproject area of influence have been assessed by means of site visits, interviews with local authorities and stakeholders, design engineers and the use of secondary sources of information. The area of influence covers the primary subproject site, including its components, access roads, workers camps, borrow pits, and disposal areas. It also includes areas and communities potentially affected by cumulative impacts from further planned and unplanned (but predictable) developments of the subproject, specifically, those within a kilometer distance on the northern, eastern, and southern sides of the subproject. 34. The potential impacts of the flood protection dike are summarized in Table 2. The subproject is primary intended to minimize flooding inside the 363-ha. area that would encircled by the dike. As a result, flood damages would be reduced and improvements in public health and the quality of life leading to economic growth and development would happen. 35. Potential impacts of the flood control dike during pre-construction include involuntary resettlement and loss of private assets during land acquisition process.

VI. MONITORING PLAN

38. The environmental monitoring plan for the EMP is presented in Table 5. The purpose of the monitoring plan is to determine the effectiveness of the impact mitigations and to document any unexpected positive or negative environmental impacts of the flood control dike during the pre-construction, construction, and operational phases. 39. The monitoring plan focuses on the environmental indicators, the sampling locations and frequency of monitoring, methods of data collection, and responsible parties for the monitoring. 40. After the construction phase is completed and all components are in operation, the impact of the new infrastructures on urban development will be monitored by the contractor and then be monitored by the PIU after the facilities are handed over by the contractor. 41. Water quality in the Preaek Thom will be monitored by the contractor during the construction phase and then by the PIU after the facilities are turned over by the contractor. The frequency of water quality monitoring will be quarterly during construction and annually during operation in accordance with Table 5. 42. Air quality and vibration will also be monitored by the contractor during construction and then by the PIU after they are turned over by the contractor in accordance with the Table 5.

VII. REPORTING 43. Monthly reporting of the progress of construction is the responsibility of the contractor and submitted to PIU and CS Consultant. Semi-annual reporting is the responsibility of the contractor and submitted to CS and then submit to PMU. Environmental monitoring reports will be prepared quarterly and semi-annually for the EA by the PMU/PIUs and sent to the MoE and ADB. The reports will include all indicators measured with the monitoring plan of EMP, including performance monitoring indicators (see Table 6), and will include relevant GoC environmental quality standards. 44. Project performance monitoring presents the desired outcomes as measurable events by providing parameters or aspects that can be monitored and verified. Tendering process advocating environmentally responsible procurement is a desired outcome during the pre-construction phase. This can easily be verified by checking if EMP requirements are incorporated in construction contracts. Construction phase desired outcomes include effective management of environmental impacts and reduce risk to public. For the operation phase, road safety and maintenance plans shall be in place and implemented.

VIII. EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN

45. The contractor shall develop emergency or incident response procedures during construction. In the operational phase the operator/civil authorities will have responsibility for any emergencies or serious incidents. The construction phase should ensure:

(a) Emergency Response Team (ERT) of the Contractor as initial responder (b) District and City fire and police departments, emergency medical service, the

Department of Public Health (DPH), collectively referred to as the External Emergency Response Team (EERT), as ultimate responders.

46. The contractor will provide and sustain the required technical, manpower and financial resources for quick response during construction.

Table 7: Roles and Responsibilities in Emergency Incident Response

Entity Responsibilities

Contractor Team (ERT) Communicates / alerts the EERT.

Prepares the emergency site to facilitate the response action of the EERT, e.g., vacating, clearing, restricting site.

When necessary & requested by the EERT, lends support / provides assistance during EERT’s response operations.

External Emergency Response Team (EERT) Solves the emergency/incident

Contractor Resources Provide and sustain the people, equipment, tools & funds necessary to ensure Subproject’s quick response to emergency situations.

47. The ERT will be led by the senior Contractor engineer as the ERT Leader (ERTL) on site with a suitably trained foreman or junior engineer as deputy. Trained first-aiders and security crew will be the core members of the ERT. 48. The Contractor will ensure that ERT members are physically, technically and psychologically fit for their emergency response roles and responsibilities. 49. Prior to the mobilization of civil works, the Contractor, through its Construction Manager, ERTL, in coordination with the PMU/PIU, will meet with the ultimate response institutions to discuss the overall construction process, including, but not limited to:

(a) Subproject sites; (b) Construction time frame and phasing; (c) Any special construction techniques and equipment that will be used; (d) Any hazardous materials that will be brought to and stored in the construction

premises and details on their applications and handling/management system; (e) The Contractor’s Emergency Management Plan; and (f) Names and contact details of the ERT members.



30

50. The objective of this meeting is to provide the ultimate response institutions the context for:

(a) Their comments on the adequacy of the Emergency Management Plan (b) Their own assessment of what types, likely magnitude and likely incidence rate of

potential hazards are anticipated (c) The arrangements for coordination and collaboration.

51. To ensure effective emergency response, prior to mobilization of civil works, the Contractor will:

(a) Set up the ERT; (b) Set up all support equipment and facilities in working condition; (c) Make arrangements with the EERT; (d) Conduct proper training of ERT members, and encourage and train volunteers from

the work force; (e) Conduct orientation to all construction workers on the emergency response

Some rules relative to communicating/alerting will be:

(a) Whoever detects an emergency situation first shall immediately: Call the attention of other people in the emergency site; sound the nearest alarm; and/or Report/communicate the emergency situation to the ERT.

(b) Only the ERTL and, if ERTL is not available, the Deputy ERTL are authorized to

communicate with the EERT. Exceptions to this rule may be necessary and should be defined in the Emergency Management Plans.

(c) When communicating/alerting an emergency to the EERT, it is important to provide

them with at least: (i) the type of emergency situation; (ii) correct location of the emergency; (iii) estimated magnitude of the situation; (iv) estimated persons harmed; (v) time it happened; (vi) in case of a spill, which hazardous substance spilled; and (vii) in case of fire and explosion, what caused it. Such details would allow the EERT to prepare for the appropriate response actions.



31

54. For an effective reporting/alerting of an emergency situation:

(a) The names and contact details of the relevant persons and institutions should be readily available in, or near to, all forms of communication equipment, and strategically posted (at legible size) in all subproject sites and vehicles:

IX. TRAINING PROGRAM AND INSTITUTIONAL CAPACITY REVIEW AND NEEDS 56. A training program is required to address the safeguard reporting and implementation requirements during construction. The engagement of a contractor firm/consultants will be critical to ensure that monitoring and reporting are managed effectively and efficiently during implementation by the PIU staff. This person will also work closely with the PMU Safeguard Officer in order to ensure safeguards are implemented and monitored. The proposed training required for project implementation is set out in Table 11 below.

Table 11: Training Requirements

Subject/Content Participants Trainer Frequency

EMP adjustment and implementation – Development and adjustment of the EMP, roles and responsibilities, monitoring, supervision and reporting

PMU, PIU, Contractors and CS

Environmental Specialist (KCC firm)

Once prior to construction

Grievance Redress Mechanism – roles and responsibilities

Contractors, CS, PIU, PMU


Once prior before construction

O&M training program Operators, staffs, workers, CS, PIU and PMU

Contractor firm/consultants

Once prior before operation

57. Currently, there is little capacity for environmental assessment and management among subproject staffs and contractors in Neak Loeung. The PISCD Consultant will develop and deliver training courses to the contractors, CS and PIU/PMU staff. The purpose of the courses is to strengthen the ability of the CS and PIU/PMU to oversee implementation of the EMP by construction contractors. 58. Training shall include environmental issues during the operational phase of the flood control dike and its components. 59. Training on the implementation of an EMP should focus on two thematic areas: (i) Principles of environmental management on the potential impacts of infrastructure development on the natural and social environment; (ii) Environmental safeguard requirements of ADB and GoC with specific focus on the EMP.

X. GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM A. Objective of the Grievance Redress Mechanism 60. A grievance redress mechanism (GRM), consistent with the requirements of the ADB Safeguard Policy Statement (2009) will be established to prevent and address community concerns, reduce risks, and assist the project to maximize environmental and social benefits. In addition to serving as a platform to resolve grievances, the GRM has been designed to help achieve the following objectives: (i) open channels for effective communication, including the identification of new environmental issues of concern arising from the subproject; (ii) demonstrate concerns about community members and their environmental well-being; and (iii) prevent and mitigate any adverse environmental impacts on communities caused by the project implementation and operation of the subproject. The GRM is accessible to all members of the community. B. PROPOSED GRM SYSTEM 61. In Cambodia, there is currently no existing legally established system to resolve environmental concerns and complaints. The MPWT, as the EA of the CTD1 established the GRM and organized the Grievance Redress Committee in September 2019. Grievances can be filed in writing or verbally with any entry point of the GRM. The committee will have 10 days to respond with a resolution, which may extend to 25 days if no satisfactory result is reached at the committee level. The PMU’s Environment Safeguards Officer (PMU-ESO) will oversee the implementation of the mechanism and will be responsible for keeping the PMU informed with technical support from PMU’s environmental safeguard consultants. The PIU’s Environmental Safeguards Focal Point will be responsible for ensuring GRM implementation at the subproject level. C. ACCESS TO THE MECHANISM 62. A well-defined grievance redress and resolution mechanism has been established to resolve grievances and complaints in a timely and satisfactory manner in the subproject. The PMU, through its ESO and staff in the MPWT will ensure that the public and all stakeholders are aware of their rights to access, and will have access to the GRM free of administrative and legal charges. The GRM is fully disclosed prior to construction during public consultations and through posters displayed in the commune office (posters to include names and contact details of the PIU). 63. The grievance redress process applies to environmental issues and includes three steps before complaints may be elevated to ADB as a last resort, as follows:

a. First step: Complaints and grievances are reported verbally or submitted in writing to the village chief, commune chief, or to contractor. The receiving agent will provide immediate written confirmation of the receipt of the complaint. If after 5 days the complainant does not hear from the contractor, village or commune chief or if he/she is not satisfied with the decision taken in the first stage, the complaint may be brought to the District Office or Project Implementation Unit (PIU).

b. Second step: The District Office and the PIU have 10 days within which to

resolve the complaint to the satisfaction of all concerned. If the complaint cannot be solved at this stage, the District Office or the PIU will bring the case to the Provincial Grievance Redress Committee (PGRC) or to the Project Management



35

Unit (PMU) which will then inform the complainant. Annex 9 shows the Grievance Redress Complaint Form.

c. Third step: The PGRC or the Project Management Unit (PMU) meets with the

aggrieved party to resolve the complaint/issue. Within 10 days of the submission of the grievance, the Committee or the PMU will make a written decision and submit copy to the ADB.

64. Figure 7 shows the Grievance Redress Mechanism Chart.
