A. BACKGROUND
1. Rural Energy Project (Component 1: Rural Electrification of Svay Rieng Province) (hereinafter referred to as "the project") is an DFAT funded grant and will assist the efforts of Eléctricité du Cambodge (EDC) to electrify approximately 8,000 households by extending 220 km of 22 kV medium-voltage (MV) sub-transmission line and 400 km of low-voltage (LV) distribution network in Svay Rieng Province. The development of an electricity transmission network in rural areas will displace expensive and environmentally unsustainable off-grid diesel generation by rural electricity enterprises (REEs) providing them with more cost- effective electricity supplies. The project is classified as Category B for environment and Category C for indigenous peoples under ADB Safeguard Policy Statement (2009).
2. EDC is the Executing Agency of the project. EDC is a state-owned power utility mandated to implement the Government’s long-term objective of achieving 100% electrification of villages by 2020 and 70% of households by 2030 in cooperation with Rural Electricity Enterprises (REEs). The Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) is the Implementing Agency (IA) for the component 2 on improved cooking stoves at Kampong Cham Province. The EDC is the IA for the capacity development component.
3. Overall, the proposed project aims to: (i) Increase electrification rate in Svay Rieng province through the extension of 22kV MV sub-transmission and LV distribution lines; (ii) Improve reliability of the electricity grid; and (iii) Reduce dependence on firewood and biomass for fuel in cooking to prevent threats to health due to air pollution.
4. In compliance with the ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement 2009, this updated Environmental Management Plan (EMP) was prepared for inclusion in the tender documents for Rural Energy Project under Component 1: Rural Electrification of Svay Rieng province. The EDC-SEPRO with the assistance of PIC will perform periodic monitoring to ensure that the mitigation measures provided in the EMP are appropriately implemented.
5. The EMP summarizes the project scope, the environmental conditions, the impacts, the mitigation measures and monitoring plan to be implemented particularly during the construction stage of the project. The national environmental standards related to discharges of wastes, emissions release and disturbances by noise and vibration are also presented in the Appendices as reference.
B. PROJECT SCOPE
6. The project consists of installation of concrete electricity poles along the existing rural roads thereby increasing electrification rate in Svay Rieng Province through the extension of 22kV MV sub-transmission and LV distribution lines covering more than 90 villages, 25 Communes/Sangkat, 6 districts/Krong in Svay Rieng province (Appendix 4).
7. The proposed project will consist of 220 circuit-kilometers (cct-km) of MV lines and 400 cct-km of LV lines. Figure 2 presents the overview of Svay Rieng MV Route Line project of the distribution line. In general, the 22 kV distribution line will pass along existing roads and through flat, rural, and agricultural terrain.
EMP-Rural Energy Project Page 3 B.1 Concrete Poles
8. The distribution poles will consist of round pre-stressed concrete poles. The average distance between poles is 60 – 80 m. The LV poles will be positioned 15 m from the center of existing road while the MV poles will be installed at 25 m from the center of the road. The height of the poles will be 12 – 14 m. As required for safety, a minimum vertical clearance of 2 - 3 m from existing structures and trees will be maintained by EDC. Tall trees within the ROW will be removed as necessary to maintain the minimum conductor clearance. During the final design of the transmission line, it will be sited to avoid houses to the maximum extent possible.
B.2 Foundation
9. The foundations of the poles will be reinforced concrete, cast in-situ. The size of pole foundations is about 1m x 1m while the excavation depth is about 1.2m. All excavated soil will be utilized for backfilling of the pole foundations.
B.3 Overhead Ground Wires
10. The distribution line will use the overhead ground wire for lighting protection, conductors, and insulators for corrosion control. All insulators and fittings to be utilized by the project shall conform to the international standard of the International Electro Technical Commission (IEC). B.4 Transformers and Automatic Voltage Regulators
11. There will be about 77 pole- mounted distribution transformers and AVRs that will be installed for the project. The outdoor transformers include 4-250KVA, 5-160KVA, 29- 100KVA, 21-50KVA, 9-50KVA, and 9-25KVA transformers.

12. The proposed project is expected to contribute positively to the economic development of the Svay Rieng province through the improvement of the power distribution grid. The project is also expected to improve reliability and security of power supply that would allow EDC to meet the increased power demand in overall province in the near future.
13. Sensitive areas including cultural heritage sites, protected areas, wetland, mangrove, estuarine and buffer zone of protected area are not adjacent or within the project area. Wildlife of rare and endangered species were also not found at project site.
14. The distribution line will traverse around 25 communes with the 6 districts (including 1 Krong) in Svay Rieng province, therefore houses, schools, health centers, small-scale business shops, rice fields and productive trees were found along the alignments and will be impacted by the proposed project. However, any impacts of the project during the construction phase are temporary and limited to the surrounding area and can be readily mitigated through proper implementation of measures during design and construction.
D. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES
D.1 Design Stage
D.1.1 Loss of property, trees and agricultural land
15. Clearing/trimming of trees and vegetation at both sides along the ROW for wiring of conductors and stringing of cable will be required and will cause temporary disturbance. Permanent acquisition of land for the pole foundations will be made within the government- designated right of way where existing residential structures may present. Furthermore, the temporary acquisition of land for storage of poles and cable reels may cause nuisance to access roads. Site inspection found that most of the lands at both sides along the ROW are used for planting rice and other crops by people who live there. Distribution line will only follow the designated ROW for rural roads. Nonetheless, there will be some potential impacts on trees and natural forest depending on the location of electricity poles.
16. During the design stage, engineering design consultant ensures that there is acceptable alternative in each concrete pole location that would have an overall advantage in minimizing environmental impact during and after construction.
D.1.2 Damage to existing structures
17. The concrete poles will be installed along the ROW. Distribution line will not traverse any historically or culturally significant sites. Likewise, the lines will not encroach upon any ecologically significant areas. However, most ROWs are being used as rice field and these agricultural lands are also the main source of income of local people in the area.
18. A number of houses, small-scale business shops and trees are located within the vicinity of the project. To lessen the project impacts, the distribution line was designed in such a way that the need for removal of trees and structures along the alignment is minimized. Resettlement Plan in accordance with ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement as well as Cambodian laws, policies, and regulations is prepared and will be implemented.
EMP-Rural Energy Project Page 8 D.1.3 Risk of Land Mines and UXO
19. Unexploded ordnances (UXO) contamination occurred in Cambodia following decade of civil war in the country. Highly dangerous and littered UXO is still reportedly present in some areas in the country especially along the Cambodia’s border in Svay Rieng province. However, according to the results of the survey, there are no areas along the ROW with severe UXO contamination. The agricultural lands in the vicinity have been cultivated for a long time and therefore the risk of encountering UXO is considered low. In addition, the excavated areas for each electric pole are small and shallow.
20. Before commencement works period, however; any public consultation meetings with local communities and stakeholders are necessary to identify areas where there are risks of mines or UXO. Suspected areas should be cleared before construction activities to ensure that all suspected areas has already got a certificate or issued official letter by Mine .
D.2 Construction Stage
D.2.1 Dust Impacts
21. Dust generation is expected during earthworks and sports from tran or hauling of construction materials to the site. Dust pollution coulduisance be ato ncommunities adjacent to roads where construction takes place, especially duringseason. dry
22. The Contractor will be required to formulate and implement a dust control program that includes spraying of water on roads and work areas ges within close villa to the road. Vehicles transporting concrete poles and other materials beshould covered with tarpaulin or similar materials.
D.2.2 Noise Impacts
23. Similar to dust, operation of construction equipment and transporting materials will cause temporary noise and vibration. Communities close to work areas will be affected.
24. The Contractor should consider proper scheduling of construction activities particularly in sensitive areas. Acoustic barriers or enclosures for working areas should be provided where required.
D.2.3 Generation of wastes
25. During construction, various wastes will be generated.ntial Potesources are wastes from construction workers, site clearing, and excavation,ntling disma of old structures and from other construction-related activities.
26. Contractor should formulate and implement a Waste Management Plan where required. This should include: (1) application of waste tion segrega (recyclables/biodegradable/residual wastes), (2) designate anppropriate a location as temporary staging area for excavated materials and other, (3) wastes provide sufficient garbage containers at work site, (4) proper disposal ofat wastesa designated area, (5) provide sanitary facilities to workers which should beand cleaned maintained regularly. Upon completion of construction works, storage and work siteshall usedbe restoreds to its original state.
EMP-Rural Energy Project Page 9
D.2.4 Water contamination
27. The potential sources of water contamination would be from leaked fuel or used lubricant. These substances are toxic to living organisms.
28. Contractor shall ensure that: (i) diesel and waste oils are handled and stored properly to prevent leakage or spill, (ii) waste oils are stored in suitable containers and transported away from the sites (iii) the Contractor shall prepare a Spill Management Plan including measures to be taken and equipment to be used to ensure adequate cleanup of any spills.
D.2.5 Soil erosion
29. Soil erosion may occur during site clearing and other earth moving works. When heavy rain comes, sediments are carried into ditches, culverts, nearby water bodies and adjacent lands.
30. The contractor will be required to implement soil erosion control to minimize soil erosion and sedimentation of waterways. The alternative approaches should be: (1) provide adequate cross drainage to avoid over flow or flooding and (2) re-vegetation of erosion-prone areas.
D.2.6 Loss of trees
31. The project will only follow the existing alignment along the rural roads. Impact on trees is insignificant.
32. Clearing/trimming of trees and vegetation should be avoided as much as possible. Removed/trimmed branch of trees will be cleared by the Contractor in order to avoid disturbance to residential area and access roads.
D.2.7 Loss of property and agricultural land
33. Most of the lands at both sides along the ROW of the rural roads are used for planting rice fields and other crops. There will be potential loss of fruit trees and impact on residential structures.
34. The Project alignments will be carefully routed to ensure that the impact is minimized as much as possible especially in areas with high concentration of trees and houses.
35. The Contractor shall prepare a compensation scheme for affected structures, trees, and privately owned land as required in Resettlement Plan. The grievance redress mechanism, monitoring, and institutional arrangements shall also be disclosed to the local people during the public consultation meeting before commencement of construction works.
36. The contractor shall be responsible for mitigating any adverse impacts to the existing environment as results of their construction works, for instance, damage to access roads due to moving construction vehicles
D.2.8 Traffic congestion, Safety and Health
37. Traffic congestion may occur during transportation of concrete poles and other construction materials.
EMP-Rural Energy Project Page 10 38. The contractor shall formulate Traffic Management Plan and Health and Safety Plan. This shall include the followings: (i) Install traffic/warning signs, i.e., ”Slow down - Construction in Progress”, “Safety First” at the construction area including reflective fences or enclosures (ii) direct drivers to drive at low speeds, especially near market, school, hospital in urban areas. (iii) keep the roadway or bypass accessible to commuters to avoid traffic jam (iv) park vehicles at designated area (v) detour road should be provided and accessible to commuters (vi) workers should be provided with Personal Protective Equipment (vii) a trained first aid personnel and health facility should be provided on site (viii) potable water and sanitary facilities should be provided to workers. These plans shall be submitted to EDC and PIC at the early stages of the project.
