I. INTRODUCTION 1. The Urban Water Supply Project (UWSP) – Cambodia is an ongoing undertaking

funded through loan by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) which aims to improve

water supply infrastructure and services in selected Provincial Water Works. The loan

was approved on 11th December 2014 by ADB, and loan agreement (LA) has been

signed on 18th December 2014 and effective date on 16th June 2015. The loan will be

closed on 31st December 2022. The project consists of four main outputs, namely:

• Output 1: Improvement of water supply systems in seven towns;

• Output 2: New water supply system for Stung Treng;

• Output 3: Expansion of water supply coverage in Siemreap; and

• Output 4: Project implementation support.

2. This report presents the findings of the due diligence works undertaken by PIAC's

Environmental Team on February 21st, 2020, for the proposed Svay Rieng Water

Supply Subproject. This is part of the Urban Water Supply Project financed by the

Asian Development Bank (ADB). Svay Rieng Province is one of Cambodia Province

at the east of Phnom Penh city. This province is border to Vietnam.

3. After completion of the rehabilitation works for the existing Iron and Manganese

Removal Plant, the Chlorination Building and pipe laying works under ADB Loan

No.3232, additional work is being proposed by Svay Rieng Provincial Waterworks

(PWW). This covers the construction of structures for the diversion of water from

Vaiko River and necessary facilities to treat the water. The purpose of the proposed

structures is to meet the increasing demand for clean water in Svay Rieng

Municipality.

4. Original work: The Works consist of construction of construction, Supply, Installation

and Commissioning of new facilities including construction of (1) 11,000 m3/d new

intake structure in Vaikou River; (2) Raw water transmission consisting of 62.8m DN

600 Corrugated HDPE Pipe from submerged T-intake screen to intake chamber & DN

300 HDPE PN16 Transmission Raw Water Pipe from intake to WTP headworks. The

total length from intake pump station to WTP is 375 m; (3) Construction of a 9,000

m3/d complete conventional (rapid sand filter) water treatment plant with support

facilities. The technology for WTP is conventional rapid sand filter with greensand.;

(4) Construction of a new underground reinforced concrete with 2,800 cum

treated/clear water reservoir capacity; (5) Provision of new chemical house; (6)

Provision of distribution pumps with flowmeter; and (7) Installation of DN300

distribution pipelines with limited length of 92.7m within the WTP site to transfer to

existing reservoir and to the network. The total area of WTP is 775.68 m2 (L=40.15m

and W= 18.85m) and total area of the new intake is 16.56 m2 (L=4.6m, W=3.6m). The

Water Treatment Plant (WTP) and new intake located in Lor village, Sangkat

Poutahau, Krong Svay Rieng, Svay Rieng province. Contract awarded on 24th

December 2020 by Taing Cheng Oing (TCO) Construction and Import-Export

Co.,LTD. The original work will benefit to 14,423 families (75,000 persons, 31,731

female).

5. General cumulative value of completed work is 40 % for the original work which

including finish installation of raw water transmission pipe DN300 NP16, continue top

slap and falsework, removal of temporary sheet pile and partial backfill at the

reservoir/tank and completed the concrete counterweight.

6. C 1d Variation Order No.1 (C 1d, VO#1): The C 1d VO#1 proposed on the pipeline

extension in Svay Rieng province and it will be approved soon by ADB. The total

distribution network is 12,500 m (63 mm=4,000 m, 110 mm=6,150m, 160mm=1,700m

and 225 mm=650m HDPE) and located in Sangkat Svay Rieng, Krong Svay Rieng

and Kampong Cham Lorng commun, Svay Chrum district, Svay Rieng province and

extend 50m of Intake to Vaikou River. The former EDDR version remains disclosed

online (September 2020) and that this updated EDDR is relevant to the original works

as well as for the VO#1 C1d. This updated EDDR due to VO#1 C 1d on pipeline

extension with total distribution network of 13,400 m and extend 50m of new intake to

Vaikou river. The proposed Variation Order No.1 C 1d will benefit to 338 families

(1,758 persons, 744 female).

7. The Project (UWSP) is classified as a Category B Project according to the ADB

Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS) (2009). This subproject (Svay Rieng sub-project

on WTP and Intake) classified as a Category C for environment. Environmental

impacts are generally minor for the Svay Rieng sub-project. Proposed Water

Treatment Plant (WTP) will be built in an open space within the property of PWW.

Structures for the conveyance of water from Vaiko River to WTP will be constructed

within the Right-of-Way. PWW has already received permissions from MOWRAM to

extract water from the river and underground to meet the target capacity of 10,000

m3/day. The subsequent sections of this DDR justify the categorization of the project

based on ADB's SPS 2009 and the necessary measures to be implemented to

minimize environmental impacts of this undertaking.

8. The updated EDDR of the proposed pipeline extension and extent of Intake (50 m) to

Vaikou River is still category C. For this sub-project is not required EPC for domestic

requirement according the new Prakas 21 dated on 03 February 2020 on EIA

classification for development projects. Hence, due to the new C 1d VO#1, no further

changes are required as per domestic environmental requirements.

II. SUBPROJECT DESCRIPTION

9. Current structures of Svay Rieng Waterworks comprise of the following: (i) filtration

plant, (ii) chlorination, (iii) generator, (iv) clean water reservoir, (v) motor pump and

distribution pump, (vi) administration office, (vii) laboratory, and (viii) sludge pond.

Svay Rieng water supply has undergone series of rehabilitations and advancements

since it resumed its operation. It utilizes ground water from three deep wells (195m

each). The raw water is pre-chlorinated and conveyed through two package-plant

type iron and manganese filters, before further chlorination and sending to clean

water reservoir. It is then distributed to consumers. The description of the project

components given in this para pertains to package C 1d on WTP, Intake and pipeline

extension only and that further works are being done are carried out under package C

1a and C1b which are not treated in this EDDR

10. In the past, the iron and manganese filters were frequently blocked and need regular

backwashing. Customers complained about the reddish color of water. These issues

have been improved through the rehabilitation of the existing iron and manganese

treatment plant and the installation of additional chlorination building covered by ADB

Loan No. 3232. The works were completed in early November 20191.

11. In line with the goal of the Ministry of Industry, Science, Technology and Innovation

(MISTI) and the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) to supply clean water to

people up to 90% in 2023 and 100% in 2025, Svay Rieng PWW is planning to

augment their capacity by 9,000 m3/day. This will also promote sustainability in the

supply of water as recurring technical concerns are encountered with the water from

three deep wells which are in use for about 30 years to date. Each deep well yields

95-100m3/hour.

12. The proposed WTP structures are presented as follows:

• Water Treatment Plant with a capacity of 9,000m3/day.

• Intake point structure (detailed design is ongoing).

• Main pipeline from intake point to pumping station: HDPE 300 mm, around 375

m.

• Support structures for those pipelines.

13. Sources of water for the proposed WTP structure are as follows:

• Source 1 – Surface Water: the water is extracted from Vaiko river with a volume of

around 4,000m3/day. Please note that MOWRAM has granted PIU to extract the

water from the river at a volume of 12,100m3/day; however, this volume will be

shared with JICA funded project at a volume of around 6,300m3/day and Chinese-

built WTP project at a volume of around 2,000m3/day.

• Source 2 – Underground Water: 3 existing deep wells; each deep well yields 95-

100m3 per hour). It is important to note that MOWRAM has granted PIU to extract

the water from underground at a volume of 12,100m3/day.

14. The updated EDDR is focused on the Variation Orders VO#1 C 1d and updated of the

original contract. The detail of VO#1 C 1d is described below.

15. C1d Variation Order No.1 (C 1d, VO#1): The C 1d VO#1 proposed on the pipeline

extension in Svay Rieng province and it will be approved soon by ADB. The total

distribution network is 12,500 m (63 mm=4,000 m, 110 mm=6,150m, 160mm=1,700m

and 225 mm=650m HDPE) and located in Sangkat Svay Rieng, Krong Svay Rieng

and Kampong Cham Lorng commun, Svay Chrum district, Svay Rieng province and

extend 50m of Intake to Vaikou River. The construction of WTP is on-going as per

original contract awarded on 24th December 2020.

III. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT

A. Site Visit

17. The environmental team (PIAC environmental consultant and PMU environmental

officer) conducted a site inspection at Svay Rieng PWW on February 21st, 2020, to

assess the locations considered by PIU as the most suitable places for the proposed

WTP and water diversion from Vaiko River. Before the walk-through on the areas, the

PIAC Consultants had a brief discussion with PIU management officers.

Documentation is presented as follows with the minutes of meeting/field notes and

attendance sheet attached in Appendix 6.

conducted a site visit to the intake station on 6th September 2021 and pipeline

extension location on 20th December 2021 by social safeguard which accompany by

Svay Rieng Water Work and marked the pipe installation location and observe on the

impacts and affected structures in the sub-project location. Good experiences, issues

and solutions from previous works as well as ongoing constraints faced by the

Provincial Water Works were noted during the discussion with Svay Rieng Water

Work before field visit. The site visit conducted in the proposed location in difference

criteria.

B. Rapid Environmental Assessment Checklist and Categorization

19. Based on discussions with the PIU, walkthrough observations and prior knowledge of

the surrounding area, the rapid environmental assessment checklist (REA Checklist)

was accomplished and presented in Appendix 1. As assessed, the project is

classified as Category C. The proposed activities are likely to have minimal or no

adverse environmental impacts.

10

C. Description of Surrounding Environment

20. Svay Rieng Province has an elevation of around 5-18 meters above sea level is

bordered to Vietnam in the south and is about 124 km to Phnom Penh through

National Road No. 1. It is an agricultural province of lowland rice field. The climate is

humid and tropical, with some variation over the year. In the rainy season flooding of

rice fields and overflowing streams are typical. The predictions on the effects of

climate change on local rainfall or groundwater are not available. The local geology

consists of sedimentary layers of recent origin and shallow depressions that hold

swamps or wetlands. Sandy soils tend to predominate and increase as one moves

northward through the province. There are no natural hazards such as steep slopes

and unstable soils within the confines of the plant property.

21. Proposed location for the New WTP. There are two options for the location of the

new WTP within the PWW property, one is an open space of about 18m by 40 m or

720m2 and the second one has a shallow excavation of about 26m by 50m or a total

of 1,300m2. The latter is used to contain the sludge from the operation of the existing

Water Treatment Plant. Between the two lots is a new Chinese-built WTP with a

capacity of around 2,000m3 per day. PWW considered that this volume can also

contribute to attaining the increase in clean water demand. Considering the available

lots to select on for the proposed WTP, the first option is more likely suitable for such

structure with the assumption that the size of the land is wide enough to

accommodate the planned improvement. It is also assumed that the proposed WTP

to be funded by JICA will not use the same space being considered for the WTP to be

financed by ADB.

22. Proposed surface water diversion point and access. The proposed new source of

raw water for Svay Rieng PWW is Vaiko River which is about 400m away from PWW

facility. Extraction point has some tubers and thin grass cover which can easily be

cleared with minimal impact on water quality. There are existing public roads to the

site with sufficient widths (about 6m in width for tertiary road and about 8m in width for

secondary road). Proposed diversion pipes or designed structures will be installed

within the right-of-way and will not affect any private properties during the project

construction and operation. Surrounding lands are used for residential and

commercial purposes.

23. Vaiko river and uses. As informed by PIU, Vaiko River is used by communities for

domestic consumption, fishing, irrigation and the annual local boat racing ceremony.

The water extracting area has been delineated as breeding ground for fishes; hence,

fishing activity is not allowed. Size of the area is about 71 to 75ha with a depth of

around 3m. With the plan to increase water production for drinking purposes, PIU

obtained a Certificate of Water Usage from Vaiko River from MOWRAM in 2017 with

a volume of 12,100m3/day, tapping point of which is at the stream part of the river.

This volume will be shared amongst other projects including: JICA funded project

accounts for 6,300m3/day, Chinese-built WTP project accounts for 2,000m3/day, and

the remaining amount will be for this proposed WTP. The current volume of water in

Vaiko River is around 30,000,000m3. MOWRAM and the Provincial Administration are

11

in the process of tapping the water from Mekong River to increase or sustain the

volume of water to 40,000,000m3.

24. Underground water. PIU informed the team that they currently have three deep

wells and are all in use for the current clean water production. Each of them is able to

produce water around 95-100m3/hour. With these producing capabilities, it would be

enough to supply 6,000m3/day to the proposed WTP.

25. Fishes. Fishing area is at the downstream part of the river. According to PIU, the

common species being caught in the river are catfish, Channa striata, Lobochilus

melanotaenia, and Henicorhynchus lobatus. These species have been classified as

non-endangered species.

26. Vaiko river water quality. There is a possibility of some contamination in water

caused by chemical fertilizers and pesticides used in rice farming. This is subjected to

the verification with the result of water quality test. However, according to PIU, rice

cultivation activities have dropped, which can contribute to the reduction of pollutants

from farming inputs. PIU also added that irrigation water sourced from Vaiko River

has also been reduced as most people have shifted their sources of livelihood, which

was originally farming-based, to serve as garment factory workers. Published

information also shows that rice exportation has decreased by 13% in 2018.

Pollutants from other sources are minimized because every household living surround

the river owns a sanitary facility and a private waste collection company is contracted

by Svay Rieng Municipality to dispose waste.

27. During the site visit, a water sample was also collected and submitted to laboratories

for analysis. The team with the PIU observed that the water was slightly turbid, and

odor was acceptable. In-situ parameters measured by PIU were pH and temperature.

The pH value obtained was 7.30 which is within Cambodia's Drinking Water Quality

Standard. The ambient water temperature was 32.80C. The result of water quality test

is illustrated in appendix 3 and 4.

28. Hazards. PIU confirmed that PWW has never been flooded even in the years with

highest flooding level. However, flood data released by MRC in 2002 and 2011

reveals that PWW area was flooded in 2002 and 2011. Shown below is the MRC

Flood Map.

12

Figure 6: Flood Map for Svay Rieng New WTP and its surrounding area

29. Based on team's interview with the PIU, it was revealed that there was no occurrence

of soil erosion in the river as depth is about 3 meters. Land subsidence due to water

extraction in 30 years was not observed.

30. Air Quality. There are no major long-term activities that could cause significant air

pollution in the project site. There are ongoing road improvement works and park

development observed near the site however these are temporary that generate

sporadic dust.

31. UXO Clearance. PIU confirmed that there is no UXO in the proposed WTP site as

this has been cleared long time ago. To avoid any risk, relate to UXO in WTP, the

UXO Clearance has been conducted and Certificate was received for the original

work and was attached in annex 9. As confirm by Mr. Im Mesa, the chief of Svay

Rieng Provincial Water Work (PWW), is strongly believed that no require UXO

clearance for the raw water transmission main pipe due to the main pipe is located in

the existing road and long-time residential area. After finishing the construction work

of the main pipe, the UXO has not been found during the construction period.

32. The PIU conducted the UXO clearance from 14th to 27th August 2020 on the WTP

site. There is no UXO found in the project location as a result from the survey.

33. The contractor will seek UXO clearance for the proposed pipeline network (12,500m)

and includes the 50 m of pipeline connecting the new intake with Vaikou River for

VO#1 C 1d. The UXO certificates (pipeline network, 12,500m and includes the 50m of

13

pipeline connecting the new intake with Vaikou River) will submit to ADB immediately

upon receipt and will provide the certificate to PMU for evident.

IV. GENERAL ISSUES RELATED TO THE ENVIRONMENT

34. The proposed structures will be constructed within the ROWs and the PWW property.

Based on the due diligence works conducted, findings reveal that there are no

adverse impacts expected from the project. Minimal impacts expected that can be

easily mitigated are listed below:

• Dust and air emissions from soil excavation and movement of vehicles.

• Noise disturbance.

• Generation of excavated soil and other construction debris.

• Hazards to workers.

• Risks to community health and safety.

• Traffic congestion.

• Increase in water turbidity

• Generation of solid and liquid wastes from camps

35. The following mitigation measures are proposed to mitigate these potential impacts.

36. Damage to community facilities. The installation of diversion structures outside the

PWW property will be along the ROW. These will traverse sides of the road which is

around 175m along earth road and around 100m along the concrete carriageway.

The project does not require land acquisition; however, this may cause temporary

obstructions in front of private driveways or gate. This will also affect a small part of

the river wall or slope protection structure. Impacts can be minimized by employing

the following mitigation measures

• Before the commencement of construction activities, PIU shall consult in advance

the affected persons whose driveways or gates are likely be obstructed or

damaged during the installation of structures (e.g., pipes). Damage structures will

be restored to pre-project conditions by the Contractor.

• Permit(s) from DPWT and local authorities should be secured before undertaking

any excavation works. Impact on workers’ health and safety.

37. Hazard to workers. Workers will be exposed to nuisance or risks such as dust,

noise, falling objects and injuries due to the project. Some potential conflict between

the villagers and migrant workers may also arise. To minimize noise impacts the

following activities should be implemented by the contractor/s:

• The contractor should prepare and implement a Health and Safety Plan that

includes fire prevention, emergency response plan, workers' education and

awareness on HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases; and control

measure for mosquito and other vector diseases;

• Provision of first-aid kit which should be readily accessible by workers.

• Conduct training for workers in the identification and management of occupational

hazards.

• Post safety signs, reminders, or warning notices at visible areas onsite.

15

• Strictly implement a “No-Alcohol, No-Gambling and No-Dangerous Drug Policy” at

the construction site.

• Provide PPEs such as hard hats, gloves, safety boots, ear protection, breathing

masks, etc. Wearing of PPEs, while working onsite will be a mandatory

requirement for workers.

• The Contractor should ensure that child laborers are not employed

• The Contractor will be required to provide priority hiring of qualified construction

workers from the villages and to consult with the local to avoid conflict if migrant

workers will be brought to the site.

38. Dust and air emission. Wind-blown dust may be generated due to presence of loose

soil and movement of vehicles at the work areas

• Cover and keep excavated soil and stockpiles moist.

• Conduct water sprinkling in areas prone to airborne dust.

• Regularly clean and sweep dust and accumulated soil at roadsides at the end of

the day’s work.

• Maintain vehicles and equipment to ensure that emissions comply with the MOE’s

standards.

• Prohibit open burning of waste materials.

• Instruct delivery trucks to cover materials with tarpaulin or other suitable materials

during hauling of materials.

• Impose speed limits on construction vehicles.

• Regularly clean and sweep dust in the work area.

• Inform and educate workers on the implementation of air emission and dust control

measures.

39. Noise disturbance. There will be minimal noise during construction works except in

areas where there is a need to break a concrete or will perform piling works. Noise

levels ranging from 82 to 88 dBA may be experienced at a distance of 15 to 30

meters from the source. To lessen noise impact to adjacent establishments and

residential area, pavement breaking or piling activities will not be undertaken at

nighttime or from 10:00PM to 06:00AM

40. Community health and safety. The laying of pipes for the extraction of river water

along the ROW will likely affect nearby residents and establishments including traffic

and restriction of community access. Pipes will traverse an unpaved road and partly a

concrete road.

• Special precautions need to be undertaken where there are sensitive

receptors.

• PIU will require the Contractor to follow the existing Standard Operating

Procedure (SOP) on pipe installation. Trenches should be backfilled and levelled

after installation of pipes.

• Install signs at the beginning and end of section of works.

• Install safety barriers in open excavations to avoid unauthorized or accidental

access by the public.

16

• Place materials at the location that will be used within few days’ works and not

within the roadway.

• Clean up and remove from completed segments any excess spoil, wood and

steel bars.

• Compact soil in trench and clean surrounding pavement areas to reduce blowing

dust.

• Provide temporary bridging across the trench at entries to residences and

establishments.

• Once work is completed on a segment, pavement surfaces and masonry work

(curbs, abutments, drains, driveways, and sidewalk) will be repaired and

returned to pre-project condition.

• Provide advance notification of proposed works outside the PWW; Regularly

coordinate with affected parties during project construction.

41. Safety of workers and community members and COVID-19 risk mitigation

• Plan and execute work in compliance with country-specific COVID-19 risk

management regulations and directives including directions of the General

Department of Labour, MoLVT.

• Conduct workplace risk assessment to identify low, medium or high exposure risk

to COVID-19. Prepare an action plan for prevention and mitigation of the

spreading of COVID-19.

• Monitor the implementation of COVID-19 measures and apply the checklists.

• Conduct Risk communication, training, and education. Training of workers in

infection prevention and control practices.

• Dissemination about COVID-19 prevention and mitigation measures to staff and

workers through orientation or distributing leaflet/poster at information/safety board

at each construction and camp site.

• Daily checking temperature of staff and workers prior starting the works.

• Staff and workers have to wear masks all the time and properly.

• Do not share personal items or supplies such as phones, pens, notebooks, tools,

etc.

• Avoid common physical greetings, such as handshakes.

• Maintain a minimum physical distance of one metre from others if possible.

• Wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds after using the

washroom, before handling food, after blowing nose, coughing, or sneezing, and

before smoking. If hands are not visibly soiled, and soap and water are

unavailable, alcohol-based hand sanitizer can be used.

• All offices and jobsites implement additional cleaning measures of common areas.

All door handles, railings, ladders, switches, controls, eating surfaces, shared tools

and equipment, taps, toilets, and personal workstation areas are wiped down at

least twice a day with a disinfectant, such as disinfectant wipes. Individuals are

responsible for cleaning and disinfecting their workstations.

• Commonly touched surfaces on vehicles and equipment are thoroughly cleaned

and disinfected at the end of shifts and between users.

• Coughing or sneezing into a tissue or the bend of your arm, not your hand; And

dispose of any tissues you have used as soon as possible in a lined waste basket

and wash your hands afterwards.

17

• Contractor will provide adequate facilities for washing and ensure that liquid soap,

hand sanitizer and alcohol are always available.

• Contractor will ensure a supply of disposable face masks for all workers that are

disposed of appropriately each day.

• Canteen facilities are kept clean, and all working surfaces regularly cleaned and

disinfected with alcohol and social distancing practiced at mealtimes.

• Dormitory facilities will be arranged to avoid over-crowding and will be cleaned on

daily basis, bed linen washed regularly (weekly), and the rooms disinfected

42. Responding measures if there is a COVID-19 case

• Individuals who have been potentially exposed to the virus, or who are exhibiting

flu-like symptoms such as fever, tiredness, coughing, or congestion are instructed

to: Not come to work; Contact their supervisor and/or human resources

department; Stay at home and self-isolate; and contact local health authorities for

further direction.

• Such individuals are required to follow the directions of the local health authority

and may not return to work until given approval by the proper health authorities.

• Individual who begins to display flu-like symptoms on site are instructed to avoid

touching anything, take extra care to contain coughs and sneezes, and return

home immediately to undergo self-isolation as directed by the local health

authority.

• All areas on site potentially infected by a confirmed or probable case are

barricaded to keep individuals two meters away until the area is properly cleaned

and disinfected

43. Impact traffic. Laying of structures needed to divert water from river to WTP may

potentially affect traffic movements. Impact is minimal and short term.

• Coordinate the proposed construction activities, schedules, and traffic

management plan with the local authorities and police.

• Post informational boards in case of temporary road obstructions.

• Employ trained flaggers to direct traffic movements in areas with lane closures.

• Use traffic control and warning devices such as lights, signs, traffic cones, flashing

board, bollards, and barricades to alert vehicles and pedestrians about lane

closures, equipment use, excavations, and other potential hazards.

44. Increase in water turbidity. Due to small footprint impact on site clearing and

excavation works for the diversion canal/piping and construction of WTP, these

activities are not expected to result to significant adverse impacts. In all earthworks, it

is necessary that the contractors mitigate possible sources of increase in water

turbidity.

• Sediment traps or rice straw or other organic biodegradable alternative (not

plastic) will be installed to trap sediments that may reach surface water and

surrounding areas during periods of precipitation.

• Where necessary, diversion ditches or small compacted soil berms will be

constructed in order to intercept and slow the speed of runoff so it will carry less

erosive flow levels.

18

• This impact will be mitigated by using, where possible, the same excavated

material to back-fill trenches and grading activities to obtain desired surface

gradients

45. Generation of solid and liquid wastes. Construction activities as well as operation

of camps generate both solid and liquid wastes. If not properly managed, it will cause

air and water pollution affecting public health. From poorly managed wastes, it will

serve as breeding ground for disease-carrying rodents and flies. This may even

generate greenhouse gases affecting earth's warming.

• The contractor should prepare and implement a Solid Waste Management Plan.

Sanitary facilities should be provided with multi-chambered septic tank.

• Workers will be oriented on the plan for proper and efficient handling of wastes

V. EXISTING FACILITIES AUDIT

46. Appendix I of the ADB SPS (2009) requires that, “when the project involves existing

activities or facilities, relevant external experts will perform environmental audits to

determine the existence of any areas where the project may cause or is causing

environmental risks or impacts.” The Rapid Environmental Assessment Checklist

(Appendix 1) includes a section in which the existing facilities have been audited to

identify the presence of waste, spent, out-of-spec and discarded water treatment

chemicals, oils, cleaning fluids and solvents, as well as contaminated soils that have

or have the potential for causing environmental impacts or risks. Waste materials that

pose a hazard to human health or the environment have not been identified at the

facility. The director2 of the waterworks confirms the absence of any such materials

within the water supply system buildings or on property under the control of the

waterworks. There is no need to prepare a corrective action plan to dispose of

materials of this nature or remediate soils or structures for purposes of reducing

environmental impact and risk. Recently the confirm of Provincial of Water Work

(PWW) is still valid and these issues will be solved after new WTP completed.

47. In addition, the presence of unexploded ordinance (UXO) and mines has been

cleared within the PWW premises as explained by the PIU. Unpaved road leading to

the water source should be further evaluated if no clearance has been made before.

VI. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

A. Review of Impacts

48. Potential impacts of the proposed WTP construction and putting up of water diversion

structures from river to WTP are summarized in Para 4 and Para 6. The table 1 below

B. Institutional Arrangements

49. The General Department of Potable Water Supply at central level under Ministry of

Industry, Science, Technology and Innovation (MISTI) is the executing agency and

will establish the Project Management Unit (PMU) to execute the Project. The PMU

will assign responsibility for environmental aspects to a particular individual as staff

PMU safeguard management officer (PSMO) who is engaged full time with

implementation of the project to monitor implementation of mitigation measures.

Provincial Water Work (PWW) will be the implementation agency for the subproject. It

will establish a Project Implementation Unit (PIU) to manage the implementation of

the Subproject at Svay Rieng Province.

50. The PMU will engage Contractors for specific works, based on the subcontract

packages considered most suitable for execution. Legal clauses regarding mitigation

measures are required to be included in construction contract bidding documents and

become part of contract agreements. For the main construction contracts, the

Contractor will be required to appoint a staff Construction Environmental

Management Officer (CEMO) responsible for supervising implementation of mitigation

measures during the execution of the contract. The contractor will be required to

prepare a Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) to ensure

construction does not adversely affect health, safety, amenity, traffic or the

environment in the surrounding area. The CEMO working with the Contractor’s Site

Manager is responsible for preparing this plan prior to the start of construction and

receiving approval for the plan from the PMU before the start of construction. The

CEMO will serve as a point of contact that is accountable for environmental aspects

of the construction work. For smaller construction contracts or subcontracts, the (sub-

) contractor will still be held accountable for implementation of mitigation measures

through a system of quality assurance supervised by the PMU. UXO clearance will

also need to be secured prior to works being able to commence, and proof of new

clearance to be provided to the PMU, also for sharing with ADB. The former UXO is

provided in appendix 9.

51. General notes/reminders for the PMU, work supervisors and environmental safeguards specialists are as follows: • As a precautionary measure, the PMU team shall inform ADB prior to construction

start (formless by email), confirming that you have received and cleared the Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) and that it is in line with the DR and the updated EMP. Also, the contractor shall confirm that he has a responsible officer (EHS/CEMO) as part of the construction team.

• Ensure that CEMP monitoring and reporting to the project owner/client shall

be on a monthly basis throughout the construction period using the provided reporting format sample in annex to the EMP. This shall also be clearly stipulated in the bidding docs requirements for the Contractors.

• As part of the pre-construction phase, all the existing biodiversity elements at the

construction sites need to be accounted for. It is the responsibility of the contractor

to fully reinstate pathways and any biodiversity at least to their pre-project

condition upon the completion of construction. This needs to be accounted for in

the mitigation budget, reflected in the respective CEMPs and in the

environmental safeguards monitoring report to ADB

52. The PMU has direct responsibility for monitoring the implementation of the mitigation

measures. The PSMO will be assisted in tasks by the Environmental Specialists (ES),

consultants who are part of Project Management Unit (PMU) and support all the

subprojects undertaken through the loan. The PSMO will also be assisted in

identifying corrective actions and putting in place the corrective action plans as

necessary. Work will commence with updating and finalizing EDDRs and their

respective environmental mitigation measures and monitoring plans, submitting the

environmental reviews on behalf of MISTI to the Ministry of Environment,

incorporating legal clauses regarding mitigation measures into construction contract

bidding documents, assisting the PSMO in monitoring the implementation of those

measures during the progress of construction, and preparing the environmental

sections of semi-annual safeguard reports to be provided to ADB. The ES also will

provide training to PMU and PIU staff. Table 2 describes the functions of various

agencies engaged in the project.

53. For the present project, RGC/Client approval for Environment Clearance from the

Ministry of Environment involves revision of the DDR during the design phase,

coincident with detailed design preparation, and translation of the DDR into Khmer.

The DDR is submitted to the Department of EIA within MOE, which has a period of 30

days to review and respond with comments or approve the DDR. A timeline for

updating the DDR as well as for inclusion of the EMP and special conditions in

contract and/or bidding documents is as follows:

• Project design proceeds over a period of 5 months (anticipated).

• Monitoring of water quality over first two months.

• Concurrently, DDE is updated with new design data.

• By end of month 2, expected issues related to design are resolved.

• DDR undergoes translation (2 weeks).

• DDR submitted to DOE by mid-month 3 of design period.

• DOE has 30 days to review/approve DDR.

• DDR approved by mid-month 4 of design period.

• ADB review runs concurrently with DOE review.

• Final approval from ADB and the Government obtained before detailed design is

finalized in time for inclusion in procurement package.

54. The Ministry of Environment (MOE) and the provincial Department of Environment

(PDOEs) play a role in submittal, review, and approval of DDRs, and monitoring and

reporting. This work takes place during the implementation phase. The ES will revise

and update the DDR based on final designs, and the document should be translated

into Khmer prior to submittal to MOE DEIA, which will engage in the review process

the provincial PDOE where the subproject takes place. Once DEIA approves the

subproject, implementation can proceed with construction mitigation measures mostly

in the hands of the Contractor, and the ES, PDOE, PIU and PSMO working together

35

to perform monitoring and reporting. It will be the job of the PIUs supported by the ES

to compile quarterly reports, which then are compiled into semi-annual safeguard

monitoring reports by the PMU and PIAC, supported by the ES. The PSMO and PMU

Project Director will be responsible for submittal of reports to ADB. The updated

EDDR is followed all the context of the process of domestic environmental

requirement that has been stated on para 8; and the roles and responsibilities of

responsible institutions as mentioned in table 2 below for detail.

VII. PUBLIC CONSULTATION AND DISCLOSURE

A. Public Consultation

56. There are no affected on private properties due to the project. As most of the works will be

confined within the PWW property; however, minor social impacts are expected. Residents

nearby the PWW property and public road to be traversed by the pipes are few. Public

notice or one on one dialogue to inform them regarding the planned activities will minimize

complaints for possible effects of the project. A grievance redress mechanism will also be

established and implemented.

57. The public consultation has been conducted on 20th December 2021 in Kampong

Chamlorng commune, Svay Chrum district, Svay Rieng province All participants are happy

and supported to the sub-project and some question and concern present in see Table 5

below. The total participants are 27 persons (6 female) from Kampong Chamlorng commune

and attend the public consultation meeting was attached in Error! Reference source not

found..

Table 5: Questions and answers during public consultation for VO#1 C 1d (20th December 2021)

Name Question Answer by who?

Commune councillors

If people have to register for the use clean water system, how much will it cost for the water connection fees?

PIU: the connection fee is 390000 riels or about US$ 97.5 per one connection which included household connection pipe no longer than 50 meters.

Village chief

How much is the water price per one cubic meter (M3)?

PIU: There are two options which the price depends on the water volume you are using; the tariff fee will be provided with the application form.

- Water usage ranging from 0 M3 to 3 M3 will cost 1100 riels (US$ 0.275) per month.

- Water usage from above 3 M3 will cost around 1200 riel (US$0.3) per month.

Villager the water pipe that connects to household provided by SRWSA is only 50 meters, if I need to extend the water pipe to the house, what is the solution?

PIU: all of you are able to extend and/or divide the water pipe from the water counter connect to your rooms, kitchens, toilets as you wanted, SRWSA provided only 50 meters from main pipe and out of this you should install it by yourself.

Villager if in case if there is any household will change their resident housing to other place, is the name of the clean water user will be changed/ replaced by the new host or not?

PIU: if they submit the request for username changes, we will process it for them with free of charge.

Villager Do we need to pay for the water connection fees before or after the household connection is completed? And what are the documents that required for the submission of application form?

PIU: the actual date for application submission will be informed later when we are ready and application fees should be paid before the completion of household connection. For the documents that required for the submission of application are ID Card and family book.

Villager Are the water connection fee and water usage price could be reduced or lower price than this?

PIU: the connection fee and water price are fixed and approved by Minister and applied for countrywide.

Villager Is there any instalment payment program for the connection fees?

PIU: the SRWSA will be provided with instalment payment program that can be

41

divided into three or six-months period. In addition to this the MISTI/PMU had prepared the Government subsidy program for the right to purchase clean water for the poor family, all the detail explanation related was stipulated in the New Prakas No. 050 MISTI 2021 and approved from Minister dated 15 February 2021. The MISTI/PMU will announce to all provincial water work when it is endorsed from Prime Minister. And it was confirmed from PMU/PIU that they will apply this subsidy program once it is approved from Prime Minister.

Villager If my family uses less than 1 cubic meter of water per month, how much will it cost?

PIU: you may just pay only for maintenance fees 750 riels or about US$ 0.18 per month

Villager I am not sure whether the clean water is still supply as usual if the electricity was cut off?

PIU: the question is good; I would like to confirm that the clean water supply is still operating as usual even if the electricity was cut off.

Villager

If I am not available to submit the application at that time, and can it be any time, is the connection fee still the same or will be increase?

PIU: Actually, the connection fee is fixed and approved by Minister and applied to all provincial water work countrywide. However, it will be adopted in every 5 years.

Villager Can I share the water to my relatives who are living behind my house?

PIU: Yes, sure you can share with your relative.

Village Chief In case of any household who may not stay at their home for few months, and they might not be able to pay for the water fees, what is the solution to them?

PIU: in this case they should inform to WSA directly or they also can seek their relatives to help pay only for maintenance fees 750 riels about US$ 0.18 per month

Villager Is there any limitation of clean water usage? Or how many cubic meters of water usage that fixed per household?

PIU: There is no limitation of household’s water usage. However, the WSA encourage you to save and carefully using clean water.

Mr. Y Chansan

Are you happy and support to the project? If so, please raise your hand up,

All participants raised their hands up, and said YES, we are very happy and fully support to the project.

B. Disclosure

58. MISTI through the PWW office will provide relevant environment-related information for the

project in a timely manner by providing information material or this DDR in Khmer language

as necessary for review by interested parties. MISTI will also provide any variation orders

and updated due diligence documents pertaining to this subproject. In addition, ADB will

43

post on its website the subproject DDR, the updates, and environmental monitoring reports

prepared during the implementation period.

VIII. GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM

59. Grievances related to environmental aspects are addressed through the Grievance Redress

Mechanism (GRM). The purpose of the GRM is to ensure that complaints from all affected

persons (APs) on any aspect of environment are addressed in a timely and satisfactory

manner. All possible avenues will be made available to APs to air their grievances; a well-

defined grievance redress mechanism will be established. All APs can send any questions to

the MISTI-PMU about their rights in relation with redress of environmental problems. APs

are not required to pay any fee to file a complaint at any level. The GRM will be explained in

the public information booklet distributed to all APs, and is explained here in relation to

complaints related to environmental impacts. There are no resettlement issues expected

from this project.

60. A Grievance Redress Committee (GRC) shall be established before commencement of site

works and shall be chaired by PMU. The GRC shall have members from the PMU,

commune councils, local NGO, and women’s organization. Grievances can be filed in writing

or verbally with any member of the GRC. The committee will have 15 days to respond with a

resolution. If unsatisfied with the decision, the existence of the GRC shall not impede the

complainant’s access to the Government’s judicial or administrative remedies.

61. Stage 1 - Complaints from APs on any aspect of environmental impacts shall first be lodged

verbally or in written form to the commune or village leader. The commune or village leader

will coordinate with the MISTI-PMU to decide on a course of action within 5 days from the

day it is lodged. Usually, complaints about environmental impacts are resolved at this

stage.

62. Stage 2 - If no understanding or amicable solution can be reached, or if no response from

the commune or village chief is received by the AP within 5 days of registering the

complaint, he/she can appeal directly to the District Office. The complaint must be settled

within 5 days of registering the original complaint.

63. Stage 3 - If the AP is not satisfied with the actions made by the District GRC, or in the

absence of any response, the AP can appeal to the Provincial GRC which must make a

written decision and submit copies to the MISTI-UWSP and AP.

64. Stage 4 - If the AP is still not satisfied with the decision of the Provincial GRC on appeal, or

in absence of any response from the MISTI-UWSP within the stipulated time, the AP, as a

last resort, may submit his/her case to court of law, whose judgment is final. APs may also

ask for resolution from ADB’s responsible project officer consistent with the provision of the

ADB’s accountability mechanism. They can file their complaint through the ADB resident

mission in Phnom Penh for transmittal to the ADB headquarters in Manila.

65. At each stage, the governing official is responsible for recording the minutes of meetings,

maintaining files on all complaints, and for distributing copies of all decisions to the PMU and

lower-level bodies, including commune/village officials and affected parties and households.

44

66. The PIU of the Svay Rieng Provincial Waterworks shall make public the existence of this

grievance redress mechanism through public awareness campaigns. They shall set-up a

hotline for complaints and the hotline shall be publicized through the media and numbers

placed on the notice boards outside the construction site and at subnational level of local

government offices (e.g., provincial, district, commune levels). Locally affected people will

still be able to express grievances through the commune councils and these would be

referred through the usual channels in those committees.

67. The PMU will be responsible for checking the procedures and resolutions of grievances and

complaints. The PIA consultant may recommend further measures to be taken to address

unresolved grievances.

68. The grievance redress mechanism (GRM) of Svay Rieng subproject has been

established on 28th January 2022 for environmental and social safeguard during

implementation (see appendix 14).

69. APs may also ask for resolution from ADB’s responsible project officer consistent with the

provision of the ADB’s accountability mechanism. They can file their complaint through the

ADB resident mission in Phnom Penh for transmittal to the ADB headquarters in Manila.

IX. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

A. Conclusion

70. The construction of new WTP of Svay Rieng PWW and installation of facility to divert water

from Vaiko River to the new treatment facility is considered as a small-scale project with no

adverse impact to the environment. Water extraction from the river and operation of existing

deep wells will comply with the restrictions imposed by MOWRAM. As this authority

regulates water use in these water bodies, following their conditions and volume limit

provided for the project is expected that it will not be contributory to the degradation of the

current biodiversity of the river and soil subsidence of the deep wells.

71. No environmental constraints were identified that may cause problem in the implementation

of the project.

72. The updated EDDR based on the VO#1 C 1d for this sub-project. The impact during

construction is slightly and can be mitigated in the mitigation measure of EMP. This sub-

project is still not required EPC for domestic requirement

45

B. Recommendations

73. Based on the findings by the Environmental Team, the environmental safeguards have been

established for the proposed project to mitigate the potential impacts identified. While these

impacts are considered minimal, the recommended strategies should still be considered

during the design stage of the structures and appropriately accounted in the project cost. It is

advised that the Environmental Team to be assigned in this undertaking should further

review and update the environmental safeguards and prepare the document (i.e.,

Environmental Management Plan or document prescribed by ADB) based on final design

and construction methods prepared for the proposed project package. To ensure that the

environmental safeguards will be implemented during the construction phase of the project,

the EMP should be included in the Bidding Document.

74. The DDR provides the draft institutional set-up that clarifies the roles of each player in the

project. In every agreement to be made, roles of parties concerned should be highlighted. In

this project, the Construction Contractor is required to comply the EMP, to monitor the

implementation of mitigation measures and to fulfil reporting functions related to loan

implementation.

Appendix 6: Field Notes

Field Notes during Site Visit at Svay Rieng Provincial Waterworks on 21 February 202

- The field visit was made on February 21st, 2020.

- Current capacity of existing WTP: 4,800m3 per day.

- Current consumption capacity: 5,000m3 per day. According to the PIU plan, this figure will

be more than doubly increased in the future.

- The proposed WTP is on the premises of PWW.

- PIU confirmed that there is no present of UXO because it has been cleared since long time

ago, but there is no certificate to verify this confirmation.

- The source of water for the proposed WTP is Tonle Vai Ko (Vaiko river). The current

volume of Tonle Vai Ko is around 30,000,000m3 and will be increased to about

40,000,000m3 in the future by MOWRAM and Provincial Administration.

- PIU added that they have difficult experiences with underground water for about 30 years

so they want to change to surface water. The 3 existing depth wells is 195 m each. It

provides 95-100m3 per hour per well. They will be used as reserved water sources once

surface water is used.

- PIU used to obtain Certificate of Water Usage from Tonle Vai Ko from MOWRAM in 2017.

- The volume of proposed WTP is 10,000m3 per day.

- The structure size depends on design team of the consultant.

- Water treatment method:

• Existing WTP

▪ Step 1: water is pumped from depth well and go through pre-chlorination.

▪ Step 2: water flows into filtration tanks.

▪ Step 3: water drains from filtration tanks into water leveling chamber.

▪ Step 4: water drains from water leveling chamber into storage tank before releasing

to final consumers.

• Proposed WTP: it depends on a new design of the consultant.

- The sources of water pollution to Tonle Vai Ko could be chemical fertilizers or pesticides

which are applied on rice farming in both rainy and dry seasons. However, PIU confirmed

that the sources of water pollution are very insignificant because rice cultivation activities

are less now.

- Flood: PIU confirmed the team that PWW has never been flooded even in the years with

highest flooding level. However, flood data released by MRC in 2002 and 2011 reveals that

PWW area was flooded in 2002 and 2011 (Flooding Map Attached).

- Air pollution: there is no activity that could not cause air pollution within and surround areas

of PWW.

- Fishing: there are some fishing activities in Tonle Vai Ko, but they happen outside the

breeding area for fish, where the source of water for proposed WTP is sitting.

- Irrigation: Tonle Vai Ko has been slightly used for irrigation purpose because most of the

people have changed their careers from being farmers to garment factory workers.

- Type of fish catch: catfish, Channa striata, Lobochilus melanotaenia, and Henicorhynchus

lobatus. They are not threatening species.

- The breeding area for fish in Tonle Vai Ko: around 71 - 75ha with around 3m depth.

58

- Soil erosion: PIU confirmed that no sign of soil erosion in the river because the depth of the

river fairly shallow.

- Land subsidence: No.

- Household toilet: PIU confirmed that every household living around the PWW has toilet

100%.

- Waterborne disease: PIU does not know about this.

- Waste disposal: private waste collection company hired by Svay Rieng Krong.

- Sludge disposal: backwash will drain into natural treatment pond before it is released into

the river.

- Other sources of fund/investment:

• PIU informed the team that JICA plans to build WTP with a production capacity of

12,000m3 per day for the PWW, but this capacity has been dropped to 6,300m3 per day

now. PIU expects that this capacity will be further decreased. According to the plan, the

construction will be started in 2021 and completed in 2023.

• PIU also confirmed that they will purchase clean water produced by Chinese-built WTP

around 2,000m3 per day in the soon future to meet the consumer’s demand.

- Water Sampling:

• Date: February 21st, 2020

• Location: UTM WGS84 48N P 0588679; 1225016

• Source of water: Tonle Vai Ko (surface water)

• Time: 12:33PM

• pH: 7.30

• Temperature: 32.80C
