The Environmental Management Plan (EMP) covers all phases of core sub-project implementation from preparation through commissioning and operation, and it aims to ensure the monitoring of environmental impacts and activation of environmental mitigation measures. Relevant parts of the EMP will be incorporated into the construction, operation, and management of each sub-project. Environmental protection measures will (i) avoid, and (ii) where avoidance is not possible, mitigate environmental impacts, and (iii) achieve compliance with national environmental regulations and ADB Safeguard Policy Statement 2009. 2. Environmental Monitoring Programs will be carried out and the results will be used to evaluate the extent and severity of actual environmental impacts against the predicted impacts and the performance of the environmental protection measures. B. Responsibilities for Implementation 3. The Royal Government of Cambodia will apply an Asian Development Bank (ADB) loan to implement the Additional Financing (AF) to the Tonle Sap Poverty Reduction and Smallholder Development Project (TSSD). Loan proceeds will fund a series of infrastructure sub-projects, each one of which will require an environmental impact assessment which complies with ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS, 2009) and government regulations. There are two executing agencies; Ministry of Agriculture Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) and National Committee for Democratic Development Secretariat (NCDDS). NCDDS will be a key implementing agency for Output 1 while MAFF will be a key implementing agency for Output 2 and both of them will be a key implementing agency for Output 3.

The subproject civil works for village road will be included in commune development plans (CDP), confirming community interest and funds to contractors will be paid by relevant commune councils. 5. Final design for village road subproject was finalised and support in bid preparation, and construction supervision has undertaken by a Design and Supervision Consultants (D&S Consultant) and selected by a procurement review committee (PRC) composed of representatives from the implementing agencies. 6. A provincial support team (PST) has established for each province. The PSTs will ensure that all subproject designs are technically cleared by relevant provincial technical departments and, in particular, that road designs are approved at provincial level by the provincial department of rural development, and that irrigation designs are approved by the provincial departments of water resources and meteorology. 7. The D&S Consultant will support CC and PST to prepare tender and contract construction documents. The commune councils will therefore act as the project implementation units for the infrastructure outputs. The commune councils will remain the project owners and will award the contract, manage the contract, and monitor the construction. The D&S Consultant will assist commune councils to monitor construction standards and facilitate monthly coordination at provincial level. 8. For the environmental aspects of the project, the safeguard unit within NCDDS will assign a suitably qualified staff member to be the project Environmental Safeguards Officer (ESO). 9. ESO will supervise, coordinate and assist in the implementation of environmental safeguards for the project. In coordination with subnational government counterparts and working closely with the Environmental Safeguards and Climate Change Specialist (ESCC) of the project implementation consultants (PIC) and the NES and NCC of the Infrastructure Design and Supervision consultant team (D&S Team), the officer will: a.

37 C2. Anticipated Environmental Impacts 44. The assessment areas for air, noise, water, and ecological impacts are defined by the technical guidelines for environmental standards cited from national legislation and other applicable guideline and legislation which are summarized in IEE, based on the environmental sensitivity of the project areas and surroundings as well as the nature of the subproject and its components. The assessment areas for the village road component is shown in Table below. Table 2: Assessment Areas of the Village Road Rehabilitation Subproject

Environmental Aspects Assessment Area

- Air Within 50 meter (m) on both sides from the road center line in village areas (to cover all distances of dust and emissions impacts during construction).

- Noise Within 300 m in the day and 50 m at night on both sides from the road center line in village areas (to cover all distances of noise impacts during construction).

- Surface water Nearest permanent waterbody (canal or river).

- Groundwater Any shallow domestic wells adjacent to (within 20 m) of road construction activities.

- Solid waste Adjoining village and paddy areas where waste could be deposited intentionally or accidently.

- Ecology/Vegetation Within 5 m both sides of the road center line.

- Physical cultural resources Construction “footprint”

- Occupational health & safety Construction “footprint” and adjoining access ways and properties.

- Community health & safety Residences and farmers working areas adjacent to construction sites. All road users.

i. UXO and Borrow pit. Land mine or UXO risk is widespread in Cambodia including the provinces in which the proposed road subproject will be conducted. The works are to upgrade the existing road. Nevertheless, a risk remains since there may be deep seated anti-tank mines that could be exploded by heavy construction equipment and shallow ordnance may be uncovered during the works. For replacement of any drainage structures, these threats are increasing as many of UXO are moved along rivers and streams during flooding time. The SSP6 consultant shall engage an UXO specialist to determine the level of risk for each of the irrigation subproject, and advice on the need for clearance. Any clearance that is required will be undertaken through the civil work contracts, by the engagement of qualified local UXO clearance firms. The contractor shall only commence site work after the UXO clearance firm has certified that areas are already cleared. ii. Loss of Vegetation. Trees and vegetation along the road in villages provide fruit and other products, protect residences from sun and wind and adjacent agricultural land from dust and run-off. Loss of mature native trees and productive fruit trees in these areas should be minimized. Before construction in all areas, the implementing agency’s ESO and contractor will clearly mark trees which are to be retained. Contractors will convey these requirements to all machinery operators and residents

38 to ensure that valuable trees are not damaged. After construction, removed trees and productive shrubs will be replanted and paid following the resettlement policy. iii. Loss of assets. The width of the village road (the existing width is 5 – 7 m while the proposed width village road is 8m including road shoulder) and construction work envelope will result in the loss of some built and livelihood assets. These have been documented by the PPTA team and informed consent. Again, on 2019, the data on loss of assets are updated and informed to local people. The appropriate compensation will be implemented in compliance with ADB’s SPS 2009 and it is under responsibility of social safeguard specialist/PIC and SSS/D&S Consultant in cooperation with ESO. iv. Features of Detailed Design. The design of subproject will be flood resilient and climate change adapted. Measures for flood resilience and climate change adaptation have been drawn from the project’s climate and disaster risk assessment (CDRA), which references the ADB’s Guidelines for Climate Proofing in the Transport Sector, and current ADB Climate Resilience projects in Cambodia. For the village road subproject these include: (i) road and embankment heights, construction and surface finishes which combine flood resistance and flood resilience; and (ii) multiple large drainage structures to ensure unconstrained through-drainage of floodwaters. v. Construction Readiness. A number of environmental management measures will also be implemented in the pre-construction phase to ensure that appropriate plans and documentation to determine environmental performance of construction and operation of subprojects are in place. These include: a. Updating EMP: mitigation measures defined in this EMP will be incorporated into the detailed design to minimize adverse environmental impacts. This will be the responsibility of the commune councils and PST. b. Final designs of embankments, siting of control structures and road alignments will be completed after taking into account the provisions of the EMP. c. Contract documents: preparation of the environment section in the TOR for bid and construction contracts, and environmental contract clauses for contractors, namely the special conditions (referencing the EMP and monitoring plan). This will be the responsibility of the commune councils with the support of the ESCC. d. Establishment of the GRM during the subproject design. e. Environmental protection training: environmental specialists (including ESCC) and/or officials from local MoE offices will be invited to provide training on implementation and supervision of environmental mitigation measures to contractors. This will be the responsibility of the commune councils and PST. vi. Spoil disposal. Some road subprojects will involve the disposal of excavated spoil since all will be used in the reformation of road base and side batters, and there will be a bulk importation of material for building up the road profile. Any surplus spoil will be made available to nearby communities for use as flood free refuge areas for livestock, building pads and bunds. vii. Air quality. The temporary impacts on air quality in the construction stage of the village road rehabilitation are anticipated because of fugitive dust generation associated with all construction works, earth works and waste movements. viii. Noise Disturbance. Noise can be expected during construction due to construction machinery operation and transport activities. Construction activities will involve haulage vehicles, bulldozers, excavators, concrete-mixing plants, rollers, and other heavy machinery. The transport of material, aggregate, concrete, and waste material to and from sites will also cause noise impacts along the haulage routes. Activities with intensive noise levels will not only have an impact on the residents, but may also cause injury to construction workers operating the equipment. According to the model, noise levels at different distances are gained after calculating the impact

39 scope of equipment noise during construction as detailed in IEE. The Cambodian noise standards for residential areas are shown as well as the International Finance Corporation’s EHS standards. The results show that, if construction machinery is used singly, the impact distance is >150m away from the source during the day and about 300 m at night. However, it will often be the case that a number of machines will be at use simultaneously during construction, and the noise impact scope will be consequently larger. Although, noise impacts will be temporary and localized at all construction sites as construction machinery and vehicles generate noise as they operate. Also there is a primary school and a number of houses within 50 m of the road alignment. The locations of these sensitive receptors are shown on Figure 6.

Source: D&S Consultant, 2019 ix. Surface Water. Surface Water will be polluted from human waste, oil contamination, and other hazardous material during construction phase. Short term construction impacts may be seen in terms of increased turbidity, when access roads improvement or other construction is taking place adjacent to the canals, stream and other water body. x. Erosion of disturbed surfaces. The cleared construction surface for the village road subproject is estimated at almost 20,000 m2. The most effective erosion control will be interception drainage to protect disturbed surfaces from surface flows. Construction plans will include erosion control prescriptions for construction work areas, including (i) constructing intercepting ditches and drains to prevent runoff entering construction sites, and diverting runoff from sites to sediment traps and then to existing drainage; (ii) limiting construction and material handling during periods of rains and high winds; and (iii) stabilizing all cut slopes, embankments, and other erosion-prone working areas while works are going on. All earthwork disturbance areas shall be stabilized within 30 days after earthworks have ceased at the sites. xi. Solid Waste Management. Impacts on resource use and impacts associated with disposal will arise from waste generated during construction. This includes generation of wastes e.g. demolition waste (any waste from the demolition of unrepairable sluice and gate structures), dredge spoil, and waste from worker camps. xii. Community and Occupational Health and Safety. Safety and health of both workers and residents may be threatened by construction activities. Numerous workers will gather within the construction site, with potentially relatively low living conditions such as unclean water, poor food, and increased risk of diseases infection and transmission. Surrounding residents may also be affected by noise and dust. Workers will confront construction safety risks as well. In an addition, some sections of the project construction are located near residential areas where a drunken person and children will possibly fall into digging hole and/or get injury. Movement of heavy equipment/truck will cause on traffic accident to local people or students. Measures to protect the community will include:

41 o Publicizing planned work schedules and locations well in advance of construction. o Planning construction activities (including demolition work) so as to minimize disturbances to residents, utilities and services. Temporary land occupation will be planned well ahead of construction to minimize its impact on seasonal agricultural activities. In particular construction adjacent to paddy fields during rice planting or harvesting should be avoided or carried on strictly in consultation with the appropriate farm operator. All land will be reinstated to its original condition after construction o Implementing safety measures around the construction sites to protect the public, including warning signs to alert the public to potential safety hazards, and barriers to prevent public access to construction sites and unsafe areas Measures to ensure occupational health and safety will include: o Contractors shall be required by the commune councils to ensure that their workers and other staff engaged in the proposed constructions are in a safe environment. o Following the award of construction contracts, the successful contractors will prepare site environmental health and safety plan, for approval by the commune councils and PST. o Contractors shall ensure that: (a) all reasonable steps are taken to protect any person on the site from health and safety risks; (b) the construction site is a safe and healthy workplace; (c) machineries and equipment are safe; (d) adequate training or instruction for occupational health and safety is provided; (e) adequate supervision of safe work systems is implemented; and (f) means of access to and egress from the site are without risk to health and safety o Construction vehicles will drive at low speeds, especially at market, school, hospital, urban area For contractors with on-going and new civil works contracts where there are additional risks present in the workers camps of coronavirus infection spreading due over-crowding and lower standards of hygiene being maintained with the recruitment of labourers from outside of the area posing risks of importing infection that could spread to local communities. To prevent the spread of COVID 19 are presented as the following: o The contractor will provide safe, suitable and comfortable accommodation, kitchen, dining and sanitary facilities (toilet and bath); with an ample supply of clean water and the bathrooms have liquid soap provided for hand washing. o First aid supplies and sufficient personal protected equipment (PPE) will be provided for all workers including face masks, helmet, boot, glove and safety vest. o Camp surroundings will be kept clean to prevent the spread of other vermin and insect vectors of disease. . o A trained H&S officer will be designated by the contractor to ensure the proper implementation of the environment, health and safety programs and induction and training of the workforce during the construction phase. o For security and to maintain order in the camp and to avoid social conflicts with the local residents, camp rules will be strictly enforced including a night-time curfew. o The contractors H&S plans will be updated to reflect the risk mitigation measures in respect of CoVID-19 and these need to be reviewed by the SSP6 Engineers and Environment Safeguard Specialist to provide recommendations to the MOE/PIU and to monitor the implementation of these H&S plans.

42 o Special precautions will be included to provide for enhanced cleanliness on site for the workers and ensuring that over-crowding of dormitories and canteen facilities are avoided to enable adequate social distancing and re regularly disinfected. o The hiring of local unskilled labor from within the villages will be maximized to avoid the importation of laborers from other areas, and for skilled workers who are not from the area they should avoid close interaction with residents in the villages. o All persons who are working on the construction site will be advised to immediately report any symptoms of CoVID-19 to the site manager immediately and make arrangements to self-isolate to avoid the risk of spreading infection. o The H&S officer at the construction site will be equipped with a digital thermometer to enable them to regularly check the temperatures of anyone who shows symptoms. xiii. Socio-Economic Impacts (Accessibility). The rehabilitation of Village Road will require the excavation of parts of the existing road. The people are living along the road. The community in and around the area will be disrupted by the noise and dust, as described above, and also by localized turbidity and potentially impaired access. Loss of assets. The alignment of the village road and working envelope will result in the loss of some built and livelihood assets. These have been documented by the PPTA team and informed consent and appropriate compensation will be implemented in compliance with ADB’s SPS 2009. The updated number of affected assets and household will be revised and responded by social and resettlement team. xiv. Traffic Jam: Some heavy equipment (heavy trucks, bulldozers, backhoes, etc.) will be brought into the construction area for excavation and construction works. They will only be transported in and out during the construction period and in relatively small numbers. During construction phase, this impact will be reduced and avoided if contractor implements some mitigation measures as below: o Drivers must respect to traffic law and drive slowly and carefully o Construction vehicles will drive at low speeds, especially at market, school, hospital, urban areas… o All construction equipment and trucks must park at safe parking areas o All construction equipment and trucks must check quality control regularly o Keep road space or bypass for travelers to avoid traffic jams. o Minimizing pedestrian interaction with construction vehicle o Collaboration with local communities and responsible authorities to improve signage, visibility and overall safety of roads, particularly along stretches located near schools or other locations where children may be present. o Collaborating with local communities on education about traffic and pedestrian safety (e.g. school education campaigns) o Coordination with emergency responders to ensure that appropriate first aid is provided in the event of accidents o Using locally sourced materials, whenever possible, to minimize transport distances. Locating associated facilities such as worker camps close to project sites and arranging worker bus transport to minimizing external traffic o Employing safe traffic control measures, including road signs and flag persons to warn of dangerous conditions

43 o In order to avoid the traffic jam and/or disturbance, the bypass or diversion road should be provided. C3. Mitigation Measures 45. The mitigation measures will be incorporated into the tender documents, construction contracts, and operational management procedures. Contractors, Key Implementation Agencies, PST and CC will implement these measures, depending upon sub-project phases. The effectiveness of these measures will be carefully monitored to confirm if improvements needed.

D. Environmental Monitoring

D1. Monitoring Management 47. The project monitoring conducted under the EMP includes: - Project Readiness Monitoring. Monitoring to check progress on project readiness and close gaps through corrective actions. Before construction, the D&S Consultant will monitor the project’s readiness on environmental management based on a set of indicators (Table 5) and report it to ADB and IA. This assessment will formally demonstrate that environmental commitments are being carried out and environmental management systems are in place before construction starts, or suggest corrective actions to ensure that all requirements are met.

- Informal monitoring interviews with affected people will focus on complaints about community disturbance from construction activities, such as construction noise, dust, solid waste and wastewater, as well as public concerns about ecological protection,

63

soil/land concerns and access issues. A sample Environmental Monitoring Interview Form is given in Appendix 1. This will contribute to project monitoring. 48. Operational Monitoring. This is required as part of the operations of the sub-project and will be undertaken by the relevant government department or a nominated private sector operator. D2. Environmental Monitoring Reports 49. Environmental Monitoring Reports (using ADB’s integrated safeguards monitoring report format) will be prepared semi-annually for the IA by the ESCC/PIC in collaboration with IA – ESO and submitted to ADB. EMP table with the column indicating how implemented will be attached in the report as appendix. Below Table gives reporting requirements.

D3. Training Program 50. A training program is set out in below table which address the safeguard reporting and implementation requirements during construction. The engagement of a PIC/D&S Consultant will be critical to ensuring the capacity of the PST/CC and to ensuring monitoring and reporting are managed effectively during implementation. This person will also work closely with the IA – ESO) in order to ensure safeguards are implemented and monitored. 51. Training for EMP Implementation. The proposed training required for project implementation is set out in Table 9. It is estimated the total budget is US$ 5,500 for first EMP training of 11 subprojects in pre-construction. During construction, there is on-the- job training by ESCC to ensure on EMP implementation.

E. Grievance Redress Mechanism

E1. GRM Objectives 52. Public grievances related to project construction may include damage to commune or private property, damage to vegetation, interruption of public services, dust emissions, noise, soil erosion, inappropriate disposal of waste materials, and safety for the general public and construction workers. 53. Traditionally, complainants at the village level address their concerns to the village leader, commune leader or staff. The NCDD also has a complaints unit, but its focus is on land issues and resettlement rather than environmental concerns. Additionally, there are sanctions the 1996 Law on Environmental Protection and Natural Resources Management which can be sought by affected people or villages through the district offices of the MoE. The main weaknesses of these systems are: a. The lack of a specialized unit to address environmental grievances; and b. The lack of a specific timeframe for the redress of grievances. 54. During project implementation stage, a project-specific grievance redress mechanism (GRM) has been developed in compliance with ADB’s SPS (2009) requirement to address the weaknesses in existing complaints systems and provide an easy and immediate complaint-and-response link between affected persons and the contractors/implementing agencies.

65

55. The project GRM is designed to achieve the following objectives: a. Provide channels of communication for local communities to raise concerns about environmental grievances which might result from the project; b. Prevent and mitigate adverse environmental impacts to communities caused by project construction and operation; c. Improve mutual trust and respect and promote productive relationships between the implementing agencies and local communities; and d. Build community acceptance of the project. The GRM is accessible to all members of the community, including women, youth, and poverty-stricken residents. Multiple points of entry are available, including face-to-face meetings, written complaints, telephone conversations, e-mail, and social media. E2. GRM System 56. The NCDD and MAFF, as the EA of the TSSP-AF will establish the GRM. The setup shall be made before commencement of site works and have members from the NCDD, MAFF, PST, district authority and commune councils. Grievances can be filed in writing or verbally with any entry point of the GRM. The committee will have 14 days to respond with a resolution. The project environment safeguard officer (ESO) will oversee the implementation/observance of the mechanism and will be responsible for keeping the NCDD&MAFF informed. The Safeguards Focal Point at Provincial Level (PST- Safeguards Focal Point) will be responsible for ensuring GRM implementation at the sub-project level. 57. The GRM will accommodate both informally and formally lodged eligible, grievances. Informally lodged grievances are those received by the contractor during construction. Formally lodged grievances are those received at District and Commune Council offices or direct to the PST. Commune Councils evaluate complaints for eligibility and then report to PST. The PST and ESO maintain record of all grievances, informally and formally lodged, eligible and ineligible. The ESO will inform the NCDD and MAFF, as necessary, and report on the observance/implementation of the GRM in line with the quarterly project progress reports and in the periodic Environmental Monitoring Report that will be submitted to the NCDD and MAFF. 1. Access to Mechanism 58. Any person who has environmental issues pertaining to the subproject during construction and operation phases will have access to the mechanism free of charge. The implementing agency (NCDD & MAFF) has established a complaints unit which will act as a central recording and coordinating unit for all subprojects under the project. Each PST will consist of a Safeguard Focal Point (PST-Safeguard Focal Point). Each subproject commune council will ensure that the GRM is publicized locally so that the community is fully aware of the mechanism and the local points of entry to it. The setting up of the GRM in the implementing agency and its initial implementation through the commune councils is supported by the environmental consultant of the loan implementation consultancy services. 59. When construction starts, a sign will be erected at each construction site providing the public with updated project information and summarizing the GRM process including details of the GRM entry points. The contact persons for different GRM entry points; commune councils, contractors, and operators of project facilities, will be identified prior to construction. The contact details for the entry points (e.g., phone numbers, addresses,

66

e-mail addresses, etc.) will be publicly disseminated on information boards at construction sites and commune council noticeboards. 60. The preferred action sequence for complaints handling is that the complaint should be investigated and resolved by the unit receiving the complaint. 61. The complaints unit will maintain records of complaints and actions taken to correct them. This data will be included in the implementing agencies reports to the ADB. The complaints unit will establish a GRM tracking and documentation system. The system will include the following elements: a. Tracking forms and procedures for gathering information from project personnel and complainant(s); b. Staff to update the database routinely; c. Systems with the capacity to analyze information so as to recognize grievance patterns, identify any systemic causes of grievances, promote transparency, publicize how complaints are being handled, and periodically evaluate the overall functioning of the mechanism; d. Processes for informing stakeholders about the status of a case; and e. Procedures to retrieve data for reporting purposes in the periodic reports to the ADB. 2. GRM Steps and Timeframe 62. The grievance redress mechanism process is described as bellow: Stage 1 – Contractors/Village Heads, Commune Council – One Week: If a concern arises during construction, the affected person will submit a written or oral complaint to the contractor/village heads/Commune Council directly. Whenever possible, the contractor/village heads/Commune Council will resolve the issue directly with the affected person. The contractor/village heads/Commune Council will give a clear reply within one week. If successful, the contractor/village heads/Commune Council will inform the complaints unit accordingly (See Appendix 2: GRM – Complaint Recording Form).

Stage 2 – District/Provincial Level (Project Supporting Team – PST) – 5 Working Days: If no appropriate solution can be found, the contractor/village heads/Commune Council should forward the complaint to the PST within 5 working days it may also submit a written or oral complaint to the PST. The PST will investigate and identify the solution and provide a clear reply for the complainant within 5 working days. The environment consultants of the loan implementation consultancy service will assist the PST in replying to the affected person. The PST will timely convey the complaint/grievance and suggested solution to the contractors/village heads/Commune Council or operators of facilities. The contractors during construction and the operators during operation will implement the agreed upon redress solution and report the outcome to the complaints unit within 7 working days.

Stage 3 – Key Implementation Agency (NCDD & MAFF) – 10 Working Days. This level has 10 working days within which meets with the aggrieved party and tries to resolve the situation. Within 10 working days of submission of the grievance, the Key Implementation Agency (NCDD & MAFF) must make a written decision and submit copies to the PST, Contractor/Village Head/Commune Council and the APs. If the

67

complaint still not be solved at this stage, the complaint may be brought to ADB, the following steps will be taken:

o Special Mission or Judicial System: the IA (NCDD & MAFF) will inform ADB to convene a special mission to attempt a resolution prior to use of the Cambodian judicial system;

o Accountability Mechanism of the ADB. In addition, APs may always contact the Complaints Receiving Officer of the ADB Through ADB Cambodia Residential Mission; 29 Suramarit Blvd. (St.268), Sangkat Chatomuk, Khan Daun Penh, Phnom Penh, Cambodia; (+855) 23 215 805; (+855) 23 215 807; www.adb.org/cambodia. 63. During construction, the complaints unit will be informed by contractors and construction supervisors, commune council’s staff, if people complain about the project. During operation, the complaints unit will be advised of complaints by the commune council. The complaints unit will also inform the ADB project team and submit all relevant documents such as contact persons for the sub-project provided to affected persons and including the sign boards at construction sites, camps and each village that show the contact person information.
