DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT AND THE SUBPROJECT A. The Project 1. The Southern Economic Corridor Towns Development Project (SECTDP) will enhance the competitiveness of towns along the Southern Economic Corridor (SEC). The project will transform the corridor towns of Battambang, Bavet, Neak Loeung, and Poipet in Cambodia into economic hubs by improving urban-environmental infrastructure and strengthening institutional capacities of provincial and local authorities. The project will finance 10 subprojects in these towns. 2. This Project is the Phase one of a long-term engagement in towns of the GMS economic corridors and is concurrent with the strategic framework of the Greater Mekong Sub-Region Economic Cooperation Program 2012–2022, which was approved by the 4th GMS Summit on 19 -20 December 2011 in Nay Pyi Taw, Myanmar. The project is also in line with the Cambodia Country Partnership Strategy (CPS) and supports the ADB Urban Operational Plan (UOP) which addresses the environmental (green), equity (inclusiveness), and economic (competitiveness) issues, and sets out future direction toward efficient, sustainable, and equitable development of cities. The Project is classified as category A for involuntary resettlement as one of the subprojects (flood control in Neak Loeung) has significant resettlement impacts and has been classified as IR category A. B. Subproject Description 3. The SECTDP as envisaged covers four towns and 10 subprojects. Eight (8) of these subprojects have been prioritized for implementation, of which three (3) subprojects will be implemented in Bavet Town. These include: (i) Bavet Urban Road (ii) Storm Drainage of the Wastewater Treatment Subproject (iii) Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) 4. The Bavet Urban Road Sub-project involves the widening/improvement of National Highway No. 01 from 159th Km to 165th Km in Bavet Town of Svay Rieng Province, Cambodia. The subproject is located in 3 communes which are: i) Ba Ti ii) Bavet and iii) Chrak Mtess. The existing two lanes of carriageway will be extended to four lanes with the median at center; Street lights will be installed at the center median. Pedestrian walkways will be constructed for the urban road section. The subproject will also include the construction of storm water drainage on both sides of the road and five units of box culverts for road crossing. The Corridor of Impact (COI) of the subproject is 15 meters from center line of the road on both sides. 5. The Bavet Storm Drainage subproject contains construction of storm drainage structures to serve priority areas in Bavet commune with three (3) drainage lines, all starting or crossing the National Road No. 1 and complementing the Bavet Urban Road subproject through providing major drainage outfalls for the drainage system constructed along the National road. The total planned length of the three drainage lines will be approx. 5km. 6. The purpose of the Materials Recovery Facility is to provide a sanitary and efficient system and facility for manual recovery of dry, source-segregated recyclable waste from households, institutions and commercial establishments such as casinos and factories of the special economic zone. It will also include purchase of segregated recyclables directly from households and other establishments. 1 7. This DDR is prepared to confirm the scope of land acquisition and resettlement impact for the Bavet Materials Recovery Facility. 8. RPs for the Bavet Urban Road and for the Bavet Wastewater Treatment Storm Drainage Subproject have been prepared and submitted as separate plans. II. MATERIALS RECOVERY FACILITY SUBPROJECT A.
