2. Environmental Monitoring Program

2.1 Scope of works

5. The construction, operation, and maintenance of MV sub-transmission lines along rural roads in Cambodia will have an insignificant impact on the local environment. Environmental mitigation measures normally associated with internationally recognized good engineering practice will be implemented to ensure that potential environmental impacts of the Project are avoided or minimized to acceptable levels. Mitigation measures are presented: The major tasks for the environmental monitoring in construction stage include:

· Field monitoring on contractor’s environmental mitigation measure performance to avoid and minimize negative social and environmental impacts;

· Potential environmental impacts that could occur during each Project stage;

· Guidance to Contractor’s personnel on environmental monitoring aspect, in the field practice;

· Recommend to contractor to implement all EMP recommendation and other environmental safeguards in construction contract documents;

2.2 Methodology

6. In the construction stage, site observations are conducted for monitoring the implementation of environmental mitigation measures. Site monitoring is carried out using environmental monitoring matrix and public perception interview (directly asking the questions to the project workers and people living nearby the project sites). This EMP Monitoring Report presents overall assessment of the Project’s compliance with the EMP and also provides conclusion and recommendations going forward.

7. Environmental monitoring consisted of routine systematic checking to verify whether appropriate mitigation measures have been implemented effectively during each stage of the Project. The Environmental Safeguard Specialists of Project

a.4 Soil erosion

33. Soil erosion may not have much concerned due to planting of poles seems very small spot on ground, also it was completed compress after worked. After works, contractor did the good job to compress well to avoid any eroding by wind and rain as above figure. Contractor properly reinstated the sites by backfilling and compacting the foundation of poles and underground cable trenches.

B. Natural resource

34. According to the site observation, there were not forest area identified along the project route line, excepting some place of underground cable in area of APSARA authority. To minimize the impact on existing physical cultural resource in the Angkor Protected Landscape where trees are not allowed to be cut or trimmed and no machineries are to be used. Some trees that are located in ROW in front of residential properties were trimmed and cut to obtain minimum safety clearance with consent from owners who signed voluntary contribution forms.

1. However, there are some planted trees needing to cut with the good negotiation between PIC/EDC and owner. According to some interview with owner of the planted trees, they said that they agreed to cut because they need wood for their cook, and said that some trees are too tall that need to cut. Contractor tries to avoid any clearing trees on the transmission route, some trees were cut only its branches for good environment as the below figure.

Monitoring Report #4 25 Medium Voltage Sub-Transmission ELECTRICITÉ DU CAMBODGE Expansion Sector Project, Package 1&2

C. Waste management

c1. Solid waste

35. According to the site monitor, there was no rubbish from project activities identified for this quarter (April, May, and June). Construction debris were found at some sites, however site cleanup was done soon after works completed.

c2. Liquid waste

36. No liquid wasted is generated from both underground and overhead construction activities.

D. Social Resource

d1. Cultural Heritage

37. As the previous, experienced site manager is staffed by Electricity of Siem Reap to supervise the construction of underground cable in Siem Reap. No chance find was encountered during the reporting period. Extra efforts have been made by EDC to avoid impact on physical cultural resources within Angkor Protected Landscape. So, EDC, PIC and Contractor is working very closed for all of dredging works and other works in the location of ASARA area.

d2. Traffic

38. Also, during site visit, no traffic congestion and accidents were caused by construction activities. However, inadequate warning by placing traffic diversion signs were noted especially around crane truck during offloading concrete poles along the roads at some sites. On-coming traffic was affected and created risks of accidents. Therefore, PIC recommended contractor to put appropriate warning signs such as construction cones around work sites and warning light at dusk to prevent any accident. PIC has good practiced according to the some discussion with some local people.

Health and Safety was observed at most sites where workers were found properly wearing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as hard hats, reflective vests. However, this measure still needs to be enforced at some sites. PIC will continuously check the use of safety equipment and improve compliance to Health and Safety at all sites. Site inspector from EDC was working much closed with contractor for patrolling on the PPE too.

3.5.2 From July to September 2017

A. Physical Resource

a.1 Air pollution

40. As the previous observation, the condition of the air quality in the project site was not affected by the project activities. Also, local people did not complain during our discussion during monitoring. Thus, Air pollution is not identified in the project location according to the field observation, dust or smoke generation from construction activities were not identified.

a.2 Noise disturbance and Vibration

41. According the filed observation, the impacts by noise or vibration were not identified. However, in case PIC uses machinery for cable wire installation, it shall have the ear protected tools due to the noise level over 70 dB(A). Also, contractor shall consider to find the machineries with noise and vibration protection and provide the noise protected tool to workers who working close to this.

42. Moreover, PIC improved their works’ safety that all workers shall wear the safety tool/equipment to protect their health during working. As above picture, worker was wearing mug during they are operating the machinery to install cable wire.

a.3 Surface and Ground Water quality

43. According to project nature, it may not affect to the surface and ground water quality, but it may consider to avoid dredging on place next to canal during raining because it may cause of the erosion to pollute the water next to these activities.

44. Most works of foundation for pole planting were completed in dry season. So, no impact on surface and groundwater quality occurred due to most earthworks were carried out during the dry season.

a.4 Soil erosion

45. All footing of the pole were well compressing after work to avoid the soil erosion by rain. Soil erosion may not have much concerned due to planting of poles seems very small spot on ground, also it was completed compress after worked. As the below pictures, contractor did the good job to compress well. Contractor properly reinstated the sites by backfilling and compacting the foundation of poles and underground cable trenches.

B. Natural resource

46. Some trees that are located in ROW in front of residential properties were trimmed and cut to obtain minimum safety clearance with consent from owners who signed voluntary contribution forms. However, there are some planted trees needing to cut with the good negotiation between PIC/EDC and owner. According to some interview with owner of the planted trees, they said that they agreed to cut because they need wood for their cook, and said that some trees are too tall that need to cut. Contractor tries to avoid any clearing trees on the transmission route, some trees were cut only its branches for good environment as the below figure. Local people always suggested contractor not to remove those cutting trees away, because they need these for wood.

C. Waste management

c1. Solid waste

47. According to the site monitor, there was no rubbish from project activities identified for this quarter (July, August, and September). Construction debris were found at some sites, however site cleanup was done soon after works completed. But, most people needed woods from these cutting trees, so they don’t want contractor to remove those away.

c2. Liquid waste

48. No liquid wasted is generated from both underground and overhead construction activities.

D. Social Resource

d1. Cultural Heritage

49. As the previous, experienced site manager is staffed by Electricity of Siem Reap to supervise the construction of underground cable in Siem Reap. No chance find was encountered during the reporting period. Extra efforts have been made by EDC to avoid impact on physical cultural resources within Angkor Protected Landscape. So, EDC, PIC and Contractor is working very closed for all of dredging works and other works in the location of ASARA area.

50. For the overhead MV, contractor also worked very close with local authorities and EDC for some information of cultural heritage in advance before starting work, even those route lines are not in the APSARA area.

d2. Traffic

51. Also, during site visit, no traffic congestion and accidents were caused by construction activities. However, inadequate warning by placing traffic diversion signs were noted especially around crane truck during offloading concrete poles along the roads at some sites. On-coming traffic was affected and created risks of accidents. Therefore, PIC recommended contractor to put appropriate warning signs such as construction cones

Monitoring Report #4 32 Medium Voltage Sub-Transmission ELECTRICITÉ DU CAMBODGE Expansion Sector Project, Package 1&2

around work sites and warning light at dusk to prevent any accident. PIC has good practiced according to the some discussion with some local people.

Figure 3.5.2 (d2): Traffic and Road Condition next to the route line (on July 2017 in Manteay Mean Chey)

d3. Safety

52. Contractor carried out the good job after PIC advised for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Health and Safety was observed at most sites where workers were found properly wearing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as hard hats, reflective vests. However, this measure still needs to be enforced at some sites. PIC will continuously check the use of safety equipment and improve compliance to Health and Safety at all sites. Site inspector from EDC was working much closed with contractor for patrolling on the PPE too.

54. It is not much different for this quarterly; contractor was working on the good practice for most implementation work for this Package 1 & 2. However, all of changes and updated route lines and types of wires shall inform to PIC and EDC to avoid any late to implement the work.

4.2 Recommendations

55. As the results of site inspection on environmental issues based on the Environmental Monitoring Matrix, the environmental safeguard specialist recommends in following points to the contractor to take action for the next month:

1. The contractor should practice a simple, common-sense traffic management plan. This should include: 1) placing traffic/warning signs i.e. “Construction in Progress” and creating temporary fences or enclosures by placing traffic cones, also called pylons around parked construction vehicles providing visibility to on- coming motorists; 2) employ traffic control persons to direct traffic during offloading of poles, especially in areas of Angkor Protected Landscape (APL).

2. all of the safety tools must immediately provide to all project workers/staffs in the working to ensure all the workers are properly use ( as safety hats, safety boots, gloves…) during working time.

3. Contractor should adequately provide PPEs to workers; and enforce the H&S guidelines as specified in the EMP. Foreman/Site Manager to regularly give toolbox talk on H&S, site cleanup to workers before works begin.

4. Contractor should follow and regularly implement a simple Waste Management Plan. This should include: 1) site clean-up soon after works are finished; 2) regular toolbox talk which includes site cleanup and chance find Monitoring Report #4 34 Medium Voltage Sub-Transmission ELECTRICITÉ DU CAMBODGE Expansion Sector Project, Package 1&2

procedure to be followed at underground cable sites in APL; 3) upon completion of construction works, ROWs should be restored to its original or better condition.

5. Contractor shall work very closed with EDC before and after energize the electricity to the project for testing or any to avoid any accentual matter from this.

6. Contractor and EDC shall work closely with Mr. Resettlement to meet people whenever there are some planted trees needing to cut under the route line.

7. Well informing to local people about project and purpose of this project shall be done before and during project implementing the contraction.
