CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 NEED FOR ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLANS
Results of an EIA study for a proposed development project will not lead to any
practical outcomes if the proposed mitigation measures and monitoring program are not
implemented in the construction and operational phases of the proposed project. Therefore,
an EIA study will need to extend beyond impact assessment to planning for implementation
of the proposed mitigation measures and monitoring program. In this regard, the results of
the EIA study will need to cover preparation of two environmental management plans
(EMPs): (i) one EMP for implementation by the Contractors in the construction phase; and
(ii) one EMP for implementation by the Project Proponent in the operation phase.
Recognizing this fact, the EIA Procedure requires the EIA study to include preparation of
a Construction phase EMP ( CEMP) and an Operational phase EMP ( OEMP) . The two
EMPs may be presented in Volume 2-EMPs while results of the EIA study are to be
presented as Volume 1-Main EIA Report.
The two EMPs are defined in the EIA Procedure 2015 as follows:
Construction Phase EMP means a detailed and comprehensive Environmental

Management Plan (EMP) for the construction phase of a Project. Such plan shall present
all relevant commitments, Emission Limit Values, Environmental Quality Standards and
other environmental requirements and include a description of the construction works,
present an overview of Adverse Impacts, present mitigation measures and monitoring
programs together with time schedules, overview maps, images, aerial photos, satellite
images, site layout plans, cross- sections, transects, environmental management and
monitoring plans for each construction site, thematic plans, and management procedures
as appropriate.
Operational Phase EMP means a detailed and comprehensive EMP for the
operational phase of a Project.Such plan shall present all relevant commitments, Emission
Limit Values, Environmental Quality Standards and other environmental requirements.
The plan shall include a description of the Project operations, installations, and
infrastructure, and shall present an overview of Adverse Impacts, present mitigation
measures together with time schedules, overview maps, images, aerial photos, satellite
images, site layout plans, cross- sections, transects, environmental management and
monitoring plans for each Project site, thematic plans, and management procedures as
appropriate.
The above definitions clearly indicate that the two EMPs required by MONREC
will be comprehensive and have more details than conventional EMPs presented in EIA
reports of the past. This requirement of MONREC is in line with current good EIA
practices.
Deedoke HPP EMP Page 1

1.2 GENERIC SCOPE OF AN EMP
Environmental management is based on the basic principle of management

known as the PDCA cycle (see Figure 1). Environmental management thus consists of four
related tasks:
(i) plan (P) - what need to be done;
(ii) do (D) - implement the plan;
(iii) check (C) - monitor and evaluate the results of implementation
(iv) act (A) - taking corrective actions to improve the results, if found
inadequate
Figure 1: PDCA cycle for environmental management
Therefore, an EMP will need to cover the following subjects: (i) mitigation
measures to be implemented; (ii) arrangements for the implementation of mitigation
measures; (iii) monitoring, evaluating and reporting of the implementation of mitigation
measures to provide feedback information on whether the environmental performance
deviates from the prescribed benchmarks; (iv) corrective actions process if the
environmental performance below the benchmarks, environmental incident response, and
emergency plan; (v) arrangements for operating the EMS, including organizational
structure, responsibilities, documentation, training, communication, and management
review; and (vi) involvement of stakeholders or affected people in environmental
management, including public grievance redress mechanism.
It should be noted that the context of the six elements of environmental

management during project construction will be different from those during project
operation. Therefore, it is preferable to present a CEMP separate from an OEMP to
facilitate their use and reference.

1.3 ORGANIZATION OF THIS EMP DOCUMENT
The EIA Guideline 2014 recommends an outline of the EMP in Section 5.2
Generic Content of an EMP and also in Appendix 10-EMP-Table of Contents. The two
outlines are different, thus causing confusion as to which outline should be adopted. This
EMP document is structured to follow the two outlines as appropriate within the
environmental management context of this Project. The essence of each chapter following
this introductory chapter is as follows:
Chapter 2 - Project Proponent’s Environmental and Social Policy and

Commitments
Chapter 3 - Institutional Arrangement
Chapter 4 - Legal Requirement
Chapter 5 - Summary of Impacts and Mitigation Measures
Chapter 6 - Construction Phase EMP
Chapter 7 - Operation Phase EMP
Chapter 8 - Implementation Budget and Schedule
1.4 NEED FOR UPDATING THE EMPs
The CEMP and OEMP presented in this Document are based on preliminary
project designs and initial construction plans and schedules. Therefore, the two EMPs
should be considered as framework plans. They are intended to provide framework and
prescribe requirements for the preparation of detailed CEMP and OEMP by the Contractors
(Contractor), e.g. the Civil Works contractor, the Electro-mechanical Works Contractor and
the T-Line Contractor. In this regard, the Project Proponent will require each Contractor to
prepare a detailed CEMP in due course before commencing the construction, and a detailed
OEMP in due course before commercial operation of the hydropower plant.
The Contractors will use the CEMP presented in this Document as the basis to
prepare a detailed CEMP based on the Contractor’s final designs, construction plan and
methods, and construction schedule. The scope and content of the Contractor’s CEMP will
not be less than the scope and content of the CEMP in this Document. The Contractor’s
CEMP shall be contractually binding. During the construction, the Contractor will
implement the Contractor CEMP under the supervision of the Project Manager to be
appointed by the Project Proponent (Owner).
As the Contractors will be responsible for the design, supply, installation, testing,
and commissioning of the hydropower plant and its associated facilities, the Contractors
will use the OEMP presented in this Document as the basis for preparing a detailed OEMP
based on the actual construction, results of plant commissioning, and final operational
procedures. The Power Plant Management Team of the Project Proponent or Owner will
review and revise the Contractor’s OEMP as appropriate to prepare the Owner’s OEMP for
implementation in the operational phase.

For clarity, the application of the EIA’s EMPs as above described is shown as a
diagram in Figure 2. FIGURE 9.1-1: APPLICATION OF THE EIA-EMP

including for crops, The Land Acquisition Act 1894 provides the basis for the Government
of Myanmar to acquire land for public and other purposes and addresses processes for
required notice; procedures for objecting to acquisition; land valuation methods; the
process for taking possession of land; the process for appeals; and rules for the temporary
occupation of land. The Land Acquisition Act 1894 sets out a process for the acquisition of
land as follows:
a. preliminary investigations on the land and procedure for notification of,
and objections to be raised by, persons interested in the land (Article
5A);
b. agreement between the company and the Government is to be disclosed
in the National Gazette;
c. notice is to be given to the public (Article 42);
d. notices are to be posted publicly in the locality of the land (Article 4
(1), Article 9 (1)).

once there is a declaration of intended acquisition.
Although there are provisions for objections to the land acquisition (Article
5A (1)), the President’s decision on the objection is final (Article 5A. (2)), giving wide
discretionary powers to the President. A 2011 amendment to the Land Acquisition Act 1894
changed the rate of compensation from ‘market value’ to ‘’the market value of the land or
three years average value of a similar land which exists surrounding it; whichever is more.
The Land Acquisition Act 1894 permit the Government to use compulsory
acquisition to acquire land for public purposes and for business purposes. The Land
Acquisition Act 1894 defines neither purpose in detail, leaving landholders vulnerable to
losing their land through arbitrary processes.
The Farmland Law (2012)
The Project Proponent has to follow Farmland Law by establishing a system

of land registration for farmers that ostensibly provide land use certificates (LUCs) that,
once secured, create rights to sell, exchange, access credit, inherit and lease the land over
which they hold rights. The prevailing view is that this new law does not provide sufficient
land tenure security for farmers as the law in fact fails to provide adequate protection
against arbitrary and forced displacement or land confiscation. Tenure rights under the
Farmland Act are not secure because Government retains the power to revoke the LUCs if
any of the strict conditions of use are not complied with in full. The law sacrifices security
of tenure for commercial interests.

The Project Proponent has to follow the rights available to those in rural
areas in a limited manner in principle, it is important to reiterate that without either a deed
of title or legal registration of rights in land, those residing or using the land in question are
effectively without rights to the land concerned under statutory law. Because it is estimated
that only 15% or less of all farmers can show a land registration document, and the fact that
many in the rural sectors of the country live under customary land law arrangements that
are not adequately protected under domestic laws, it is clear that farmers, shifting
cultivators and villagers in rural, upland and ethnic areas are tremendously vulnerable to
abuses of their land rights and to land acquisition and subsequent displacement.
Moreover, the Project Proponent has to understand the Farmland Act by

setting up an ill-defined administrative scheme that lacks basic rule of law safeguards that
are necessary for stable, rights protective land administration system, and further, denies
access to independent judicial review. The law contains vague rules with respect to farmers
’obligations, a multi-layered appeals process with each appellate level appointed by the
same central authority and unduly harsh penalties for non-compliance. All of this makes
the process inordinately complex and the consequences of missteps disproportionately
severe.

4.2.4 International Policies, Guidelines and Standards
International policies, guidelines and standards relevant to environmental and

social impacts of projects that are referred to by most countries are those issued by the
World Health Organization (WHO), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the
World Bank, and the International Finance Corporation (IFC). The policies, guidelines and
standards of the World Bank and IFC are cross referenced and complementary as the IFC

is an organization of the World Bank Group. They are also adopted by most development
organizations such as the Asian Development Bank. It should be noted that the guidelines
and standards recommended by the World Bank and IFC, especially those related to
environmental pollution, also gave due consideration to the guidelines and standards of the
EPA and WHO.
Only those international policies, guidelines and standards relevant to this

Project are discussed herein.
IFC’s Standards and Guidelines
IFC’s standards and guidelines relevant to this Project are described in two
documents:
• Performance Standards on Environmental and Social Sustainability, January

1, 2012; and
• Environmental, Health, and Safety-General Guidelines, April 30, 2007; and
The first document describes eight performance standards on environmental and

social sustainability which IFC requires its clients to apply throughout the project life cycle.
The second document provides general guidelines for environmental, health and
safety (EHS) for development projects.
Essential requirements in the two IFC documents pertaining to this Project are
summarized below.
A. Performance Standards on Environmental and Social Sustainability,

January 1, 2012
IFC prescribes eight Performance Standards to which its clients will need to
comply throughout the investment life of IFC. The eight performance standards (PS) are:
Performance Standard 1: Assessment and Management of Environmental

and Social Risks and Impacts
Performance Standard 2: Labor and Working Conditions
Performance Standard 3: Resource Efficiency and Pollution Prevention
Performance Standard 4: Community Health, Safety, and Security
Performance Standard 5: Land Acquisition and Involuntary Resettlement
Performance Standard 6: Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable

Management of Living Natural Resources
Performance Standard 7: Indigenous Peoples
Performance Standard 8: Cultural Heritage

The eight PSs cover all environmental and social aspects of development
projects.
Major requirements of each PS are summarized as follows:
PS1-Asessment and Management of Environmental and Social Risks

and Impacts
PS1 requires the client, in coordination with other responsible government

agencies and third parties as appropriate; to conduct a process of environmental and social
assessment, and establish and maintain an environmental and social management system
(ESMS) appropriate to the nature and scale of the project and commensurate with the level
of its environmental and social risks and impacts. The ESMS will incorporate the following
elements: (i) policy; (ii) identification of risks and impacts; (iii) management programs;
(iv) organizational capacity and competency; (v) emergency preparedness and response;
(vi) stakeholder engagement; and (vii) monitoring and review. These requirements are
explained in details in the PS document and associated guidelines.
PS2-Labor and Working Conditions
PS2 requires the client to: (i) formulate and implement human resources
policies and procedures appropriate to its size and workforce that set out its approach to
managing workers consistent with the requirements of this Performance Standard and
national law; (ii) provide reasonable working conditions and terms of employment; (iii)
treat migrant workers on substantially equivalent terms and conditions to non-migrant
workers carrying out similar work; (iv) establish grievance mechanism; (v) refrain from
using child labor and forced labor; and (v) provide a safe and healthy work environment,
taking into account inherent risks in its particular sector and specific classes of hazards in
the client’s work areas, including physical, chemical, biological, and radiological hazards,
and specific threats to women. These requirements will also be applied to workers of the
contractors through effective contractual arrangements between the client and the
contractors.
PS3-Resource Efficiency and Pollution Prevention
PS3 requires the client’s project to: (i) efficiently use energy and water; and
(ii) use best available techniques (BAT) in pollution control.
PS4-Community Health, Safety, and Security
This PS requires the client to: (i) evaluate the risks and impacts to the health
and safety of the Affected Communities during the project life-cycle; and (ii) establish
preventive and control measures consistent with good international industry practice
(GIIP), such as in the World Bank Group Environmental, Environmental, Health and Safety
Guidelines (EHS Guidelines) or other internationally recognized sources. The requirements
are elaborated in the PS document. Some of the requirements, such as hazardous materials
management, are similar to those in PS3. In essence, safety aspects to the communities and
operators will need to be fully considered in engineering design, construction and
operations of all Project facilities, including support facilities or infrastructure. Health risks
will also be included.

PS5-Land Acquisition and Involuntary Resettlement
This PS requires the client to avoid land expropriation, physical

displacement, and adverse impacts on livelihoods and ways of life of people in the project
area. The process of land acquisition has to ensure community engagement, fair
compensation for loss of land, properties, and livelihood; grievance mechanism, and
appropriate resettlement and livelihood restoration planning and implementation.
PS6-Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Management of Living

Natural Resources
PS6 requires the ESIA to consider direct and indirect project-related impacts
on biodiversity and ecosystem services and identify any significant residual impacts. As a
matter of priority, the client should seek to avoid impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem
services. When avoidance of impacts is not possible, measures to minimize impacts and
restore biodiversity and ecosystem services should be implemented. Given the complexity
in predicting project impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem services over the long term,
the client should adopt a practice of adaptive management in which the implementation of
mitigation and management measures are responsive to changing conditions and the results
of monitoring throughout the project’s lifecycle.
PS7-Indigenous Peoples
PS7 requires the ESIA to identify all communities of Indigenous Peoples

within the project area of influence who may be affected by the project, as well as the nature
and degree of the expected direct and indirect economic, social, cultural (including cultural
heritage), and environmental impacts on them. Adverse impacts on Affected Communities
of Indigenous Peoples should be avoided where possible. Where alternatives have been
explored and adverse impacts are unavoidable, the client will minimize, restore, and/or
compensate for these impacts in a culturally appropriate manner commensurate with the
nature and scale of such impacts and the vulnerability of the Affected Communities of
Indigenous Peoples.
PS8-Cultural Heritage
PS8 requires the client to: (i) protect cultural heritage from the adverse
impacts of project activities and support its preservation; and (ii) promote the equitable
sharing of benefits from the use of cultural heritage. The ESIA will need to identify sites
of cultural heritage and assess their value or importance at the community, provincial and
national levels.
It should be noted that all the eight PSs are in line with the Government’s
policy and regulations. For this Project, PS7 is not relevant for the following reasons:
According to the field survey in April 2015, all villagers living within the
project affected area are of Burmese ethnic. They are the majority of the country. Although
only very few villagers are not Burmese, they are well integrated into the communities.
Furthermore, the Project development will not create any impacts on cultural practices of
the locals.

B. Environmental, Health, and Safety-General Guidelines, April 30, 2007
This publication provides general EHS guidelines covering the following

subjects:
Environment covering: (i) air emissions and ambient air quality; (ii) energy
conservation; (iii) wastewater and ambient water quality; (iv) water conservation; (v)
hazardous materials management; (vi) waste management; (vii) noise; and (viii)
contaminated land.
Occupational Health and Safety covering: (i) general facility design and
operation; (ii) communication and training; (iii) physical hazards; (iv) chemical hazards;
(v) biological hazards; (vi) radiological hazards; (vii) personal protective equipment; (viii)
special hazard environments; and (ix) monitoring.
Community Health and Safety covering: (i) water quality and availability;
(ii) structural safety of project infrastructure; (iii) life and fire safety (L&FS); (iv) traffic
safety; (v) transport of hazardous materials; (vi) disease prevention; and (vii) emergency
preparedness and response.
Construction and Decommissioning covering: (i) environment; (ii)

occupational health and safety; and (iii) community health and safety.
4.3 MYANMAR GOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK
4.3.1 Arrangement at the National and Sector Level
At the national level, the Environmental Conservation Committee (ENCC)

serves as mechanism for inter-ministerial coordination. Authorities and functions of ENCC
are prescribed in Articles 7 to 13 of the EC Rules.
One of ENCC’s main functions related to this Project is to oversee the

management of the EIA process by MONREC through ECD. ECD will serve as coordinator
among various concerned sector departments to ensure that the EIA and implementation of
EMP will address environmental and social issues of concerns of relevant sector
departments.
The EIA process for this Project will be administered by the central ECD in
coordination with the regional ECD and various government organizations at the regional,
township, and district levels.
4.3.2 Sectoral Framework/Mechanism
Different ministries involved in environmental issues also have their own

policies, capacities, processes, legislations, and budgets for the environmental issues they
have to deal with. For example, the Ministry of Forestry has its own budget for the
reforestation component of the Land Degradation Programme. However, given close
cooperation between different ministries, information on budgets, as well as on other
matters, are shared between one another. Capacity and institution building in the short and
medium term is being carried out by each ministry separately on their own budgets.

Governmental organizations and their prime environmental issues are

summarized in Table 2. Those relevant to this Project are highlighted.
4.4 GUIDELINES AND STANDARDS APPLICABLE TO THIS PROJECT
Environmental management of the Project during construction and operation will

comply with the national or international environmental guidelines and standards as
appropriate. The international guidelines and standards will be adopted as appropriate only
when the national guidelines and standards do not exist.
Table 3 presents international ambient environmental quality standards to be adopted as

the national ambient environmental quality standards have not yet been issued and Table 4
presents national environmental quality (Emission) standards. Table 5 presents national
quality standards for effluents to be discharged from construction activities.

5.2 IMPACTS DURING CONSTRUCTION AND MITIGATION MEASURES
The preconstruction and construction activities will cause some environmental

disturbances which will be transient and will not have significant irreversible impacts. The
identified environmental disturbances and mitigation measures are presented in Table 7.
The mitigation measures are well-established conventional measures. Details are presented in
individual management plans under the Construction EMP. The impacts of land acquisition
and mitigation measures are presented in a resettlement action plan (RAP) in EIA Report,
Appendix 6A.

heavy construction equipment. roads during site preparation and grading.
• Enforce a speed limit for vehicles and trucks in the construction
sites not to exceed 40 km/hr. Construction activities shall be kept as
planned so that the disturbed areas will be minimized at any time.
• Restore, resurface, and rehabilitate the disturbed areas as soon as
practicable after completion of construction or disturbance
• Prohibit the open burning of waste in the construction area
• Dust masks should be provided (where applicable) to all
construction workers.
• Ensure all loose earth and similar material spilled or otherwise
deposited within the construction sites and the transport routes is
cleared and removed from trafficked areas as soon as practicable.
• At the construction sites and spoil placement sites, monitor
meteorological conditions, particularly wind speed and direction and
where necessary take measures to avoid impacts of dust on adjacent
properties. Such measures may include:
➢ Modification of construction methods;
➢ Increase in dust suppression measures; or
➢ Cessation of work when no other reasonable or practical
measure is available.

Air Quality (Cont’d) Diesel Exhaust Emissions

• The Contractor will be required to adopt best practices to
minimize gaseous emissions at sources through the following
measures:
➢ Adopt procedures to avoid construction vehicles idling for
excessive periods (e.g. more than 5 minutes) if required to queue to
enter the construction sites;
➢ Maintain all construction equipment in proper working
conditions according to the manufacturer’s specifications. The
engines of the construction equipment fleet must be routinely
maintained by qualified mechanics to ensure their proper conditions
during operations.
➢ Provide adequate training to the equipment operators in the
proper use of equipment.
➢ Use the proper size of equipment for the job.
➢ Use the equipment fitted engines with latest low emission
technologies (repowered engines, electric drive trains). For example,
the diesel generator set to be used must be equipped with modern

similarly by IFC2 as “Payment in cash or in kind for an asset or a
resource that is acquired or affected by a project at the time the asset
needs to be replaced”.
This RAP adopts a general principle that the people affected will
not be worse off compared to the pre-project level. Based on this
principle and ADB’s safeguard policy guidelines, the following
compensation policy is recommended:

Compensation • For Group 1-PAPs: who will permanently lose part of their
(Cont’d) land and crops for construction of hydropower components, the
Project will provide adequate cash compensation at full replacement
cost for the lost land and crops prior to construction.
• For Group 2-PAPs: who will lose part of their land which is
under contour 80 m a.s.l. due to inundation during project operation,
the Project will provide cash compensation for the loss of land.
• For Group 3-PAPs: who will permanently lose land and
crops due to installation of transmission line support towers. Direct
compensation in cash to individual PAPs in Group 3 will be provided.
• For Groups 4-PAPs: who own the land under transmission
line with in 45.72 meter right-of-way and their right on land use will
be limited i.e., they cannot build house or plant perennial tree with
height greater than 3 meters. Cash will be paid to PAPs to
compensate for the limited right on land utilization.
Eligibility
Eligibility will be determined using two criteria: cut-off date and
possession of Land Use Right Certificates (LURCs).
Cut-off Date: The cut-off date has not yet been determined. The
cut-off date should be the date at which the PAPs are officially
informed of the intention of the Government to acquire their land.
The PAPs will be informed of the cut-off date. Any people who use
or settle in the land area to be acquired for the Project after the cut-off
date will not be entitled to compensation and/or assistance under the
RAP.
LURCs: The eligibility for compensation to PAPs in Group 1,
Group 2 and Group 3 for land loss will be determined by the
possession of LURCs or a claim that is recognizable under national
laws. Persons who do not have LURCs or any recognizable claims to
their land will not be eligible for compensation for land but will be
entitled to compensation for their affected assets upon land and
limited right on land use.

CHAPTER 6
CONSTRUCTION PHASE EMP
6.1 OBJECTIVES OF THE CEMP
For the Project Proponent, the objective of environmental management of

Project construction is to ensure that the construction will not create significant impacts
and will meet all applicable standards and guidelines and requirements prescribed as
conditions for issuing an Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC). The standards,
guidelines and requirements will be prescribed in the Contract.
The key objective of the Owner-CEMP (OCEMP) is to establish a clear

operational framework and requirements for environmental management during the
construction phase of the Project. Based on the OCEMP, the Contractor will prepare a
Contractor-CEMP (CCEMP) which will have operational details based on the detailed
designs, construction methods, and construction schedule. The CCEMP will therefore be
part of the Contract.
6.2 MAPS
Project construction will take place at two sites: (i) main site where the dam,
power house and support facilities, including the access road, will be constructed; (ii)
transmission line corridor where the transmission line will be constructed. The construction
sites for the transmission line is long and narrow with a corridor of not more than 50 m for
the transmission line. Figure 3 is a base map of the main construction site and the site
layout plan. Figure 4 shows the transmission line alignment. The maps also show locations
of sensitive receptors near the construction sites.

6.3 MANAGEMENT AND MONITORING PLANS
The Project involves several environmentally sensitive activities that require

unique considerations and may require specific Management and Monitoring Plan.
Based on the environmental and social impact assessment as identified in the

ESIA report of this Project, which covered five components (Physical, Biological, Socio-
economic, Cultural and Visual components).
The conducting of mitigation measures and monitoring program are essentially

required since the construction phase to mitigate the significant impacts that likely to occur.
Because Project developer and Contractor are important key man who are obligated to
perform numerous of mitigation measures and monitoring programs and to ensure
minimum impact to environment and human.
This EMP detail the relevant objective, legal requirements, mitigation measures,
monitoring program, performance specifications, implementation schedule, responsibilities
for implementation, and budget. This EMP will be developed prior to the start of
construction works and during the course of the Project when construction works requiring
more detailed environmental planning are identified and will be subject to the review
procedure. The following EMPs will be developed for the Project;

6.4.1.1 Air Quality Management and Monitoring Plan
1) Objective
• To minimize the adverse impacts caused by the projects construction

activities in the dam construction site, quarry site. and related facilities including
transmission line.
• To monitor the performance of the management action or mitigation
measures and assess compliance with the applicable standards.
2) Context

Increases in air pollutants caused by fugitive dust from rock blasting, site
excavation quarrying operation and emissions from operation of trucks and heavy
construction equipment.
3) Legal Requirements
National laws and standards that are most relevant to the management of
this plan include;
• National Environmental Policy (1994)

• Environmental Conservation Law (2012)
• Environmental Conservation Rules (2014)
• National Environmental Quality (Emission) Guidelines (2015)
• Public Health Law (1972)
4) Management Action or Mitigation Measures
Fugitive Dust Control
• At all the construction sites, measures should be implemented to reduce

fugitive dust emission. The most common measures are:
• Spray water at and around the construction areas and access roads
during site preparation and grading.
• Enforce a speed limit for vehicles and trucks in the construction sites
not to exceed 40 km/hr. Construction activities shall be kept as planned so that the disturbed
areas will be minimized at any time.
• Restore, resurface, and rehabilitate the disturbed areas as soon as
practicable after completion of construction or disturbance
• Prohibit the open burning of waste in the construction area
• Dust masks should be provided (where applicable) to all construction
workers.
• Ensure all loose earth and similar material spilled or otherwise
deposited within the construction sites and the transport routes is cleared and removed from
trafficked areas as soon as practicable.
• At the construction sites and spoil placement sites, monitor
meteorological conditions, particularly wind speed and direction and where necessary take
measures to avoid impacts of dust on adjacent properties. Such measures may include:
➢ Modification of construction methods;

➢ Increase in dust suppression measures; or
➢ Cessation of work when no other reasonable or practical measure
is available.

Diesel Exhaust Emissions
• The Contractor will be required to adopt best practices to minimize

gaseous emissions at sources through the following measures:
➢ Adopt procedures to avoid construction vehicles idling for

excessive periods (e.g. more than 5 minutes) if required to queue to enter the construction
sites;
➢ Maintain all construction equipment in proper working conditions
according to the manufacturer’s specifications. The engines of the construction equipment
fleet must be routinely maintained by qualified mechanics to ensure their proper conditions
during operations.
➢ Provide adequate training to the equipment operators in the proper
use of equipment.
➢ Use the proper size of equipment for the job.
➢ Use the equipment fitted engines with latest low emission
technologies (repowered engines, electric drive trains). For example, the diesel generator
set to be used must be equipped with modern pollution control equipment.
➢ Perform on-site material hauling with trucks equipped with on-
road engines (if determined to be less emissive than the off-road engines).
➢ Encourage and provide carpools, shuttle vans, transit passes and/or
secure bicycle parking for construction worker commutes.

1) Objective
activities in the dam construction site.
2) Context
To minimize the landslide and slope failures caused by the earthwork
excavation activities could damage the project properties, and pose a health risk to the
construction workers.

this plan include;

• Perform detailed subsurface investigations to clearly identify any
problem layers, and totally remove these zones during construction to prevent stability
problems; if this is not possible, make improvements in these layers,
• Design the appropriate slope for areas of high potential of sliding and
align the direction of excavation or slope surface perpendicular or some degrees with major
joints/fault zone,
• Use slope design with a high safety factor to prevent sliding,
• Where necessary, reservoir banks should be graded to reduce erosion
and slumping potential,
• Construction equipment used outside the reservoir zone should be of a
type that will cause minimum damage to soils with low bearing capacity and soft rock
layers underneath,
• Install special devices to build up rock strength and to improve stability
such as line concrete on excavated rock surface, insert rock bolts and rock anchors, restore
vegetable (if possible),
• Perform groundwater monitoring program and use de-watering
(drainage) holes if necessary.
Refer to Surface Water Quality Management and Monitoring Plan.

Included in Surface Water Quality Management and Monitoring Plan.
6.4.1.5 Erosion and Sedimentation Management and Monitoring Plan
1) Objective

activities in the dam construction site.

2) Context
Soil erosion occurs naturally depending on many factors among erosivity of

the rain, erodibility of the soil, slope length and steepness, crop practice and conservation
practice. Prior to construction, the factor (crop practice) on which soil erosion depends is
increased, because the clearing of the construction would remove protective vegetative
cover. It is anticipated that until the construction site is covered by all project’s facilities or
re-vegetation, soil loss would be greater than existing condition.
this plan include;
General Mitigation Measures

• Minimize the area of land clearance, and retain vegetation in riparian
and other suitable locations to minimize erosion of the river banks;
• Carefully monitor land clearance activities throughout the pre-
construction phase to ensure that vegetation is not cleared beyond pre-defined project
boundaries;

• Install drainage control structures at suitable locations to divert clean

runoff away from disturbed area;
• Install settling ponds to avoid turbid water caused by construction
activities to flow out to the river;
• Cover spoil bank slopes by sodding with stockpiled topsoil, and
rehabilitate a surface drainage system to keep slope stability and to avoid erosion;
• Progressively do re-vegetation of disturbed area as soon as practicable,
to facilitate long term stabilization;
• Regularly monitor suspended sediments and sedimentation rates at key
locations upstream and downstream of project facilities, during construction, to confirm the
extent of impacts and implement suitable management responses; and
• Strictly implement the mitigation measures for solid waste management
and surface water quality.
Clearing of vegetation
• The extent of areas to be cleared will be minimized as far as practical.
• The use of existing cleared areas will be maximized.
• Clearing of sites will be undertaken in the sequence that sites are
required for construction.
• Progressive revegetation of exposed areas will take place as soon as
practical following completion of construction works in that area. Suitable species for
revegetation will be used.
• If construction works are temporarily stopped in an exposed area (for
longer than 14 days), temporary stabilization of exposed surfaces will be undertaken.
Exposed areas
• All areas required to be disturbed will be clearly identified and the
boundaries marked on the ground
• Areas not required to be disturbed will be retained in their original
condition.
• Rip-rap, or similar, will be installed at the inlet and outlet of culvert, if
necessary, to prevent scour erosion.
• Retention of existing vegetation along watercourses will be maximized
to reduce flow velocities and to minimize erosion.
• ‘Clean’ runoff from undisturbed areas will be diverted away from the
construction site and into established watercourses.
• Runoff from disturbed areas will be directed into sediment trapping or
filtering devices.
• Silt fences or vegetative fences should be installed along the top of river
banks to intercept any sediment migrating in runoff toward the river.

• Sediment collection facilities such as a settling pond should be

periodically cleaned up to keep its function.
• Sediment collection devices will be sized to collect and treat run-off
from the site as appropriate.
• Turbidity of the water discharged from the settling pond will be
periodically monitored, and function of the settling basin should be secured.
• All discharge from sediment collection devices will pass through a
vegetative or silt filter, prior to release to an established watercourse.
• All erosion and sediment controls will be visually inspected at least
once a week during the dry season and every 24 hours during the wet season to ensure their
ongoing effectiveness. Any required remedial or replacement works will be undertaken
within 24 hours of detection.
• The results of the inspections will be recorded and reported to the
Project Proponent.
• At least one month prior to the anticipated commencement of the wet
season, a review of the effectiveness and adequacy of the existing erosion and sediment
controls will be made and any necessary modification and/or augmentation of controls
carried out.
Spoil disposal area establishment

• Long term spoil placement sites will be managed in accordance with
the Contractor’s CESMMP.
Temporary stockpile establishment

• Temporary topsoil stockpiles will be developed.
• Silt fences or vegetative fences will be constructed downstream of
stockpiles to control runoff where necessary.
Use of access roads by construction vehicles
• Access to and within construction sites will be limited to

designated access roads and internal haul roads.
Refer to Surface Water Quality Management and Monitoring Plan.

6.4.1.6 Flood Management and Monitoring Plan
1) Objective
• To reduce flood risk in the project area.

activities in the dam construction site in case of flood event.
• To prevent flood hazards turning into disasters in the dam construction
site.
• To reduce flood risk in the project construction area.
• To monitor the performance of the flood management action or
mitigation measures.
2) Context
The project activities during construction phase may cause potential impact
to the environment and human.
The project activities during construction phase might be affected by floods

and in some situation result in return in a back water impact to the upstream communities
between dam site and Yeywa dam. It is needed to reduce risk from floods by reducing
hazard, exposure and vulnerability and increasing preparation.
this plan include;
The measures in flood management plan can be grouped under 4 categories:

Mitigation to prevent risk, preparing for risk, protecting from risk and recovery and review.

Mitigation: Mitigation activities are intended to significantly reduce or

even eliminate the risk of flooding before it occurs. Examples of common mitigation
activities:-
- Conduct a vulnerability analysis by using hydrologic and hydraulic

modeling programs to estimate flood risk and present the data in an easy-to-understand
graphical format (maps indicating where flood prone areas are located).
- Implement mitigation measures e.g. building levees / floodwalls,

wetland restoration etc.
Preparing for flood risk: Preparedness activities are intended to achieve a

sense of readiness for the flooding emergency. There are a number of ways to get ready
and ensure preparedness:
- Develop a flood hazard mitigation plan and update it periodically.
- Conduct an emergency exercise to identify deficiencies in the flood

hazard mitigation plan and update it accordingly.
- Utilize emergency warning system; install a flood warning system for

warning to immediate upstream and downstream people and communities. The system will
be designed in cooperation with the plant operator of the Yeywa Hydropower Plant and
government authorities responsible for monitoring water levels and meteorological data
within the Lower Myitnge River basin. The system will include the possibility to raise
alarms via a public annunciation system.
- Make sure drainage structures are cleared to allow water to be

intercepted and conveyed as intended.
- Identify materials needed to respond to flood emergency e.g. pumps,

sand bags and clay for temporary levees, clean-up kits.
Protecting from flood risk and response for flood:
Measures to reduce the likelihood of flooding affecting people and property

and to respond for flood hazard in the project area include:
- improving the standard of protection at important location at risks of

flooding.
- implementing individual property protection.
- providing immediate assistance such as emergency relief and search

and rescue.
Recovery and Review:
Measures for recovery and review include:
- Provide help to communities in the project vicinity affected from flood

hazard.

- Carry out investigation after flooding to mark high water line and
document the maximum flooding condition. All information collected can be used to justify
the need for improving the accuracy of flood modeling.

6.4.1.7 Surface Water Quality Management and Monitoring Plan
1) Objective

activities in the dam construction site. and quarry site and related facilities

2) Context

Increased turbidity of river water due to in-river construction activities and

river bed excavation or dredging. Degradation of river water quality due to inappropriate
management of construction wastes and domestic waste from construction and camp sites.
this plan include;
• Reduce the submerged biomass to the maximum extent by means of

pre-impounding clearing
• Minimize earth works as much as possible in direct contact with the

river.
• Install sedimentation ponds for drainage water from quarries and other
construction sites.
• Vegetation removal should be limited only in the construction areas.
• The site preparation activities, including land clearing and site filling
and compaction, should be carried out after taking countermeasures to avoid the problem
of surface runoff with high turbidity discharging into the surrounding paddy field or nearby
drainage channels, if exist.
• The power plant construction site should be surrounded by temporary

fences to limit the amount of sediment that could be washed from the construction area
during the raining time into the surrounding area.
• To prevent contamination of the surface runoff, potential contamination

sources will be covered with roof. The surface runoff would contain only suspended solids
washed out from the open area.
• Construct a temporary drainage system to collect the surfaced runoff

from the construction area to avoid erosion in the surrounding area.
• Toilet wastes will be discharged into a septic tank (or more than one
septic tank) with a hydraulic retention time of about 5 days.

• Prevent truck cleaning, lorries, and other equipment used for preparing,
transporting or applying concrete in the river.

6.4.2.6 Tree Species Transplanting Management and Monitoring Plan
1) Objective
• To reduce impact on biodiversity and cultural resources.
• To set procedure and methodology for tree transplanting, from the
proposed project area to supporting area with high survival.

2) Context
Although the development of Deedoke Project will be taken place in non-

forest area, distribution of some big trees can be found. In case that trees with biological /
cultural significance are found during detailed land and property inventory, proper
management should be done.
this plan include;


• Survey focuses on near threatened tree species and tree with cultural
significant at the appropriate size.
• Trees to be transplanted are marked with color tag.
Tree Transplanting Techniques
1. Set up marking circular shape for digging area around tree to be

transplanted, in general, the circular mark is estimated over 0.5 to 1.0 of tree diameter. If a
tree with crown is not wide, the digging circular is over 0.5 of tree diameter, otherwise the
big tree with wide crown, the digging circular may be over 1.0 of tree diameter.
2. To dig around tree stumpage within circular marking with simple tool
as pickax, spade, and etc. For the small tree with small root ball and the big tree, use small
backhoe machine at first and then use pickaxe or spade to cut and embellish tree root ball
completely. The root ball covering tree root system is to be spherical shape and at this stage
it must retain main root and base soil under root ball for tree growing. After that root system
should be decorated and fungicide should be used for fungi protection.
3. Soil mixed with dry coconut husk or/and peanut shell to use as fertilizer
is to fill up the ditch of root ball. Use some straw to cover tree stumpage to keep moisture
and water. To leave behind the transplanted tree about 2-3 months for tree adapting and
new regenerated root system.
4. After 2-3 months, branches should be pruned to reduce crown size to
be suitable for tree transport and leaves transpiration. The above mixed soil should be dug
and main root should be cut under root ball with caution and new root system and root ball
should be covered by sack. If root ball is so big that it is not possible to lift tree to cut root
ball by labor, it is needed to use small crane fixing on truck or small back-hoe machine to
lift before cutting root ball and also covering root ball with tightened sack to prevent root
ball broken during tree transportation. For big tree lifting, it is needed to use bank-hoe

machine or crane with rope instead of iron string at two lifting points’ bottom and middle
of tree. All of activities should be done cautiously to prevent root ball broken which may
lead to tree mortality while waiting to be planted. For small tree lifting, small root ball can
be lifted by labor with wood fixing at bottom of tree.
5. In case that nursery area is far and truck is used for transporting; small
tree can be laid down in vertical direction and big trees may be transported by 2 or 3
trees/trip and only be placed in horizontal direction with their root balls being laid to the
front of truck.
6. Due to tree root system is growing within limited area where water and
nutrient absorption are not enough for tree growing; these may cause tree mortality or
dormancy. The transplanted tree must be kept in maintainer with good condition. Therefore,
plan of tree transplanting site preparation must be done rapidly.
7. For transplanting pit preparation, tree transplanting pit should be fitted
with root ball of each tree and also the depth of pit should cover all of tree root ball. The
reserved materials are existing soil mixed with organic and chemical fertilizers (15-30-15)
for keeping tree adapting in new condition rapidly.
8. Tree transportation from nursery area to planting site should be
carefully done; root ball must be always kept in good condition in hemp sack to prevent
soil broken.
9. Tree lifting in planting pit, especially big tree size, should be done with
small crane or back-hoe in the same procedures as tree root cutting activities. Hemp sack
should be remained for root ball to allow it fertilized. Tree stem must be in natural
horizontal direction, and fully fill up with soil mixed organic fertilizer in pit.
10. High and big trees may be fallen down by windstorm due to weak root
system, therefore, the supporting wood for tree are needed. The building methods for
supporting wood are available in many types which can be suitable adopted for different
tree sizes, height, and tree forms, including planting sites and supporting materials. The
general methods are as follow:
10.1 For supporting tree of small size, diameter 8-12 cm. and 4 m long,
woody pile can be used. Stick pile into soil parallel with transplanting tree 1-2 piles and
also use rope inserted in hose tie with tree stem. Use iron string to tie between wooden pile
and rope with medium tightness as shown in Photo 1, or use supporting pile with diameter
8 cm. and 3-4 m long as 3 sides supporting type as shown in the same photo.
10.2 To support tree with bigger size but less in height (under 10 m), stronger
supporting piles should be used. Use wooden piles with diameter 12 cm. and 5-6 m long
each to support between middle of the tree and ground as 4 sides type as shown in Photo
1.
10.3 To support tree with bigger size, high crown and many branches, it
needs stronger pile than other methods. Therefore, the method as in Topic 10.2, should be
strengthened with iron-string between the big branch or upper the tree stem as shown in the
same photo.
11. Transplanted tree should be kept in good conditions that is free from
weed and applied with chemical fertilizer, formula 15-30-15, 2-3 weeks/time to keep root

system being in high growth. After 3 months, if the tree has not wilted symptom, and having
sprout leave, it indicates that root system is in good condition and can absorb nutrients and
water normally. However, supervisor should always maintain tree supporters until the
transplanted tree grows up and can support itself, which may take 1-2 years up depending
on tree conditions.
Location
Trees will be transplanted from the proposed project construction area.
Methodology
Developers will prepare a report in order to submit to the Ministry of
Forestry.
Before construction period at least one year in pre-construction phase and
should be done in wet season.
8) Responsibilities
Developers will take responsibility to implement towards this plan.

6.4.2.8 Community Health Management and Monitoring Plan
The extent of the three health programs proposed for the Deedoke HPP are
summarized in the table below. The three programs are integrated, however will be
implemented by different parties whose responsibilities will be further defined closer to
detailed design stage when contracting arrangements are better defined.
At this stage, Deedoke HPP proposes the Community Health Management

Program will consist broadly of:
• constructing alternative domestic water sources for households and villages
who lost their existing sources
• monitoring and surveillance of vector population possibly affected by the
water levels
• monitoring and surveillance of nutrition status
• development of outbreak preparedness
These aspects are described in the following pages.

The Objectives of the Community Health Management Program are the following:
1. To prevent and mitigate significant adverse health effects due to increased

construction worker and construction camp followers’ population; and
2. To mitigate significant adverse health effects due to the construction works
and increased traffic; and
3. To prevent and mitigate significant adverse health effects resulting from
changes of water levels and flows; and
4. Improve the health situation of the local population.
The projected Time Frame for the Community Health Management Program is
6 years. It will start at least 6 months prior to the expected day of the financial close. This
will allow time to prepare (capacity building, purchase of equipment, infrastructure works)
and to be ready before big numbers of workers and camp-followers arrive. The program

will end 3-4 years after the dam has started to operate. Continuous monitoring for long term
effects might be required after the 8-year period.
During the first four years the program will emphasize possible effects resulting
from construction, construction related activities and from the concentration of people
(workers and camp-followers). Afterwards the accent will shift to mitigation and
monitoring of the possible adverse health effects resulting from the changes in water levels
and qualities.
The mitigating activities will address the expected health effects identified in the
Health Impact Assessment and are grouped by Environmental Health Area.
Most of the planned activities will be directly implemented by the public health
institutions of the target areas at district and provincial level. Other activities as surveys,
specific trainings, social marketing and policy development will require the support of
national health program departments at union level, non-governmental organisations and
training institutions.
Different aspects will necessitate inter-sectoral collaboration with schools,

agricultural departments, road traffic police and others. The detailed planning of this
collaboration will be done during the initial phase of the implementation.
As most of the activities will be implemented by district and provincial public

health institutions and programs, the Community Health Management Program will put a
lot of emphasis on improving their capacities in the required fields. This will include some
or all of the following supports, as decided at detailed design stage and at a time when
budgets for ESD implementation are allocated:
1. human capacity building,
2. development of management systems,
3. infrastructure,
4. equipment,
5. transport,
6. medicine and medical supplies,
7. operational costs,
8. technical assistance.
Most of the planned activities are included in the different vertical national health
program policies. Therefore, the Community Health Management Program will facilitate
and strengthen all national (vertical) health programs that may be in place including:
• Curative Care
• Malaria
• Dengue
• Tuberculosis
• Sexual Transmitted Infections

• HIV/AIDS
• Soil transmitted helminths
• Extended Programme of Immunization
• Maternal Health Care
• Nutrition and micronutrients
• Sanitation
• Clean water supply
• Utilization of iodised salt
• Vitamin A distribution
The Community Health Management Program will limit its activities to:
− constructing alternative domestic water sources for households and
villages who lost their existing sources
− monitoring and surveillance of vector population possibly affected by
the water levels
− monitoring and surveillance of nutrition status
− development of outbreak preparedness
The program will focus first on sub programs that, if executed appropriately, are
designed to mitigate the potential health impacts of the project as identified in the ESIA.
For reasons of quality, continuity, effectiveness and efficiency the health institutions will
implement most of the service delivery activities in an integrated and comprehensive
way.
“Possible Impact Areas/Target Groups”, as identified in the ESIA:
PIA/TG #2 Inundation Zones (Hnget Kyi Thaik, Ma Gyi In, Gwe Bin, Pan, Kabyu,
Salin, Kyaung Ywa, Kyaung Pone, Thanekthae, Yeywa and Thayet
Pin)
PIA/TG #3: Transportation Corridor (access roads, main roads into project
construction site and quarry) villages namely Hnget Kyi Thaik, Ma Gyi
In, Gwe Bin, Pan, Kabyu, Salin, Kyaung Ywa, Kyaung Pone,
Thanekthae, Yeywa and Thayet Pin
PIA/TG #4: Camp followers.
Geographically the program will be active in 2 Townships (Kyaukse and Pyin

Oo Lwin) where support will concentrate. Here risks for important adverse health effects
are highest. Most construction activities and camps of workers and camp-followers will
take place there. In this geographical area we will find the following PIA/TG: PIA/TG #2:
Inundation zones; PIA/TG; PIA/TG #3: Transportation Corridor; and PIA/TG #4: Camp

followers. This area will be affected by increased road traffic and concentration of people
and changes in water levels and quality.
Development of an Infectious Disease Detection System and Outbreak

Preparedness.
A big influx of people is expected, ± 300 workers and between 300 and 1,000
camp-followers (families and service providers). Some of the workers will be Myanmar,
others will come from neighbouring countries (China, Thailand and etc) and from distant
places as Australia, Austria, Japan and etc.
The project with the support of the Myanmar government will try to control
movements of workers and camp-followers. Efforts will be made to educate and change
behaviour on different risk behaviours (promiscuity, hygiene, IBN, etc.). The project will
provide the required sanitary facilities and domestic water supplies. Workers could be
screened for certain contagious diseases. Nevertheless, changes of outbreaks of contagious
or vector-borne disease are very real. This could be outbreaks of classical diseases as
cholera, dysentery, malaria, dengue, etc. but also outbreaks of new emerging diseases such
as SARS and bird flu. Therefore, the project plans to develop and support a provincial
Infectious Disease Detection System and Outbreak Preparedness. The infectious disease
detection system is described in the chapter “Monitoring and Surveillance”. Not knowing
which diseases might cause outbreaks the programme will reserve an immediately
accessible fund allowing emergency purchases of inputs required in case of an outbreak.
Certain items will be purchased preliminary, they are protective clothing, rapid skin
thermometers and dengue spraying equipment.
Respiratory Diseases
In the townships of Kyaukse and Pyin Oo Lwin all activities will be supported.
In the camp-follower camps, the villages near to the work camp and the transportation
corridor will be covered by the promotional and preventive activities, the Contractors
responsible for those villages will benefit from the treatment, training and monitoring
activities.
Vector- and pest-borne diseases
Geographical location:
In the camp-follower camps, the villages near to the work camps and the transportation
responsible of those villages will benefit from the treatment, training and monitoring
activities. Monitoring and surveillance, and outbreak preparedness will cover all
Townships.
Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) and HIV/AIDS


activities. Monitoring and surveillance will take place in all townships.
Food, Soil and Water borne diseases
activities. Monitoring and surveillance will take place in all townships.
Nutrition and micronutrients related issues
In further away townships only Monitoring and Surveillance activities will be
supported. However, if the monitoring shows an increase in malnutrition or micronutrient
deficiencies due to the project the Deedoke HPP will support the treatment of these cases.
Accidents/injuries, chemical exposures and poisoning
In the camp-follower camps, the villages near to the work camps and the
transportation corridor will be covered by the promotional and preventive activities, the
Contractors responsible of those villages will benefit from the treatment, training and
monitoring activities. Monitoring and surveillance will take place in 2 townships along the
transportation corridor.
Psychosocial
In the Kyaukse and Pyin Oo Lwin townships, all activities will be supported.
Monitoring and surveillance will take place in 2 townships along the
transportation corridor.
Cultural Health Practices
In the Kyaukse and Pyin Oo Lwin townships, the utilization of traditional
medicine will be monitored at village level.

6.4.2.9 Construction Supporting Structures Dismantling Management and

Monitoring Plan
Name: Site Decommissioning

ACTIVITY Group: Temporary & Permanent Seeding
Erosion and Sedimentation Control
Description:
The establishment of a vegetative cover on disturbed areas by seeding with appropriate
plant species to reduce erosion and sedimentation by stabilizing disturbed areas that will
not be brought to final grade for a significant period of time period of more than 30 days
(temporary seeding appropriate).
For protection of bare soils exposed during construction for more than 1year, permanent
seeding
To reduce damage from sediment and runoff to downstream or off-site areas, and to
provide protection to bare soils until permanent vegetation or other erosion control
measures can be established.
Seeding covers temporary seeding with the establishment of disturbed areas by planting
seed
Risks if no Respect of this management practice

Excessive erosion of disturbed area resulting in high sediment transport and dust
Suitable Application & Criteria

The most efficient and economical means of controlling sheet and rill erosion is to
establish vegetative cover.
Temporary seeding of rapidly growing annual plants applies where exposed soil surfaces
are not to be fine-graded for periods longer than 30 days and where risk of erosion is
high. Such areas include steep denuded areas, soil stockpiles, dikes, temporary road
banks, etc. Permanent seeding of perennial vegetative cover shall be applied to areas that
will be left dormant for a period of more than 1 year.
Temporary seeding is encouraged whenever possible to aid in “controlling” construction
sites using annual plants which sprout rapidly.
Permanent seeding is encouraged:
• To. reduce erosion and decrease sediment yield from disturbed areas
• To permanently stabilize disturbed areas in a manner that is economical, adaptable
to site conditions, and allows selection of the most appropriate plant materials.
• To improve wildlife habitat.
• To enhance natural beauty.

Name: Site Decommissioning

ACTIVITY Group: Temporary & Permanent Seeding
Erosion and Sedimentation Control
Planning for both temporary and permanent seeding
• Prior to seeding, install necessary sediment control practices such as drainage
channels and basins.
• Select grasses and legumes appropriate to site conditions and expected duration of
protection.
• Provide necessary soil preparation and fertilizer. Site preparation must be
completed before the start of the rainy season, in order to benefit the growth of the
grass cover before the arrival of the most intense rainy period (July-August)
Maintenance
• Weekly inspection
• Re-seeding if areas do not show germination of seeds
• Possibly some artificial watering in the initial stage of vegetation growth if
rainfall is too erratic.

Name: Decommissioning Hazardous Material & Removal

ACTIVITY
Group: Material & Waste Management
Description:
Prevent or reduce the discharge of pollutants in the environment from material delivery
and storage by minimizing the storage of hazardous materials on-site, storing materials
in a designated area, installing secondary containment, conducting regular inspections,
removing hazardous material after use and training employees and subcontractors.
This management practice covers HazMat delivery, storage and handling.
Risks if no Application of this management practice

The following materials are commonly stored on construction sites:
• Pesticides and herbicides,
• Detergents,
• Plaster or other products,
• Petroleum products such as fuel, oil, and grease, and
• Other hazardous chemicals such as acids, lime, glues, paints, solvents
Storage of these materials on-site can pose the following risks:
• River and drainage streams pollution,
• Groundwater pollution,
• Soil contamination,
• Injury to workers or visitors.
The following steps should be taken to minimize the risks:
• Designate areas of the construction site for material delivery and storage.
- Place near the construction entrances, away from waterways
- Avoid transport near drainage paths or waterways
- Develop concrete containment area in accordance with SP 5 of the EMMP
(containment volume is at least 110% that of the largest container on site), fully covered.
• Storage of reactive, ignitable, or flammable liquids must comply with the safety
applicable codes.

Name: Decommissioning Hazardous Material & Removal

ACTIVITY
• Keep an accurate, up-to-date inventory of materials delivered and stored on-site
and Keep your inventory down
• Maintain a complete set of material safety data sheets at the project site.
• Minimize hazardous materials on-site storage and use (particularly pesticides).
• Handle hazardous materials as infrequently as possible.
• Do not store chemicals, drums, or bagged materials directly on the ground. When
temporarily justified, place these items on a pallet or on a plastic sheet.
• Try to keep chemicals in their original containers, and keep them well labelled.
• Train employees and subcontractors.
• If significant residual materials remain on the ground after construction is
complete, properly remove materials and any contaminated soil (See
MANAGEMENT PRACTICE MW-02).
• Keep the designated storage area clean and well organized.
• Conduct routine weekly inspections and check for external corrosion of material
containers.
• Keep an ample supply of spill clean-up materials near the storage area.
• Follow manufacturer’s instructions regarding uses, protective equipment,
ventilation, flammability, and mixing of chemicals.
• Follow manufacturer instructions for disposal of chemicals
• Decommission the area but first removing containers, full or empty, effecting
through site clean-up as described above and dismantle shelters and covers and
containment area.

Name: Hazardous Waste Management & Decommissioning

ACTIVITY
Risks if no Application of this MANAGEMENT PRACTICE

• Soil and water pollution,
• Health risk for workers, surrounding villagers and fauna
Suitable Application: & Criteria
Many of the materials used on-site can be hazardous materials which become hazardous waste
upon disposal. These wastes mainly include for Deedoke Project:
• Chemical waste (paints, solvents, acids)
• Petroleum products such as fuels, engine and hydraulic oils, grease;
• Herbicides and pesticides;
• Medical waste;
• Construction wastes, batteries, disused electronic equipment
To determine if a material or item is potentially hazardous waste:
• Check label and shipping papers.
• Look for words such as hazardous, danger, caustic or corrosive (dissolves skin, metal
or other materials); flammable or ignitable (catches fire easily); carcinogenic (causes
cancer); and toxic or poisonous (harms people and animals.)
• Check the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) the manufacturer must prepare for the
product.
Until appropriate eventual disposal or recycling solution is identified, all hazardous waste
including particularly used oils, oil filters, batteries and containers of toxic products must be
stored on-site using the same secondary containment installation than the one used for storing
HazMat.
All hazardous waste stored in a site must be registered in accordance with registration form to
be developed.
The following steps help reduce pollution concerns resulting from hazardous wastes:
• Use all the product before disposing of the container.
• Do not remove the original product label as it contains important safety and disposal
information.
• Do not over-apply herbicides and pesticides. Prepare only the amount needed and
follow the recommended usage instructions. Do not apply these chemicals just before it
rains. People applying pesticides must have received training in accordance with
workers training plan.
Maintenance
• Inspect hazardous waste receptacles and area regularly.
• Check situation of Hazardous Waste Register in each storage area.

Name: Non Hazardous Solid Waste Management & Removal

ACTIVITY
Description
Prevent or reduce discharge of pollutants to the land, groundwater, in storm water from solid waste or
construction demolition (C&D) waste by providing designated waste collection areas, separate
containers for recyclable waste materials, timing collection of waste and recyclable materials with each
stage of the construction project, and properly training subcontractors and employees.
• Pollution of land, rivers and air
• Development of pests and vectors
• Impacts on health
The following steps will help keep a clean site and reduce risks of pollution:
• Provide adequate number of rubbish bins on each site.
• Select designated waste collection areas on-site and provide for waste separation in compliance
with procedure to be developed at detailed design. Collection areas on site will be clearly
indicated by signs in Myanmar and in English.
• Locate containers in a covered area and/or in a secondary containment. Provide an adequate
number of containers with lids or covers that can be placed over the container to keep rain out
or to prevent loss of wastes when it’s windy.
• Collect site trash daily, especially during rainy and windy conditions.
• Salvage or recycle any useful material.
• Erosion and sediment control devices tend to collect litter. Remove this solid waste promptly.
• Make sure that toxic liquid wastes (used oils, solvents, and paints) and chemicals (acids,
pesticides, additives, curing compounds) are not disposed of in dumpsters designated for
construction debris.
• Arrange for regular waste collection before containers overflow. If a container does spill, clean
up immediately.
• Make sure that construction waste is collected, removed, and disposed of only at authorized
disposal areas.
• Train employees and subcontractors in proper solid waste management.
Management of the waste disposal site (WDS)
• Ensure WDS is totally fenced and access controlled
• Control weekly conditions of WDS.
• Ensure burning of waste does not threat forest (fire) and residences (smoke). Ensure burning
complies with conditions detailed in Sub-Plan 7 (Emission and Dust Control), and particularly
that only safe waste (Group A1-Combustible Solid Waste) are bu.
• Ensure Record of Waste Placement in the WDS is properly filled in accordance with form
presented in SP 12-Appendix 12-6.

Name: Sanitary & Septic Waste Management & Removal

ACTIVITY
Description
Prevent or reduce the discharge of pollutants to rivers and streams from sanitary/septic waste by
providing convenient, well-maintained facilities, and arranging for regular service and disposal.
Biological pollution of rivers and streams;
Contamination risk for local population and workers.
Permanent camps should be equipped with septic tank facilities.
Temporary camps should be equipped with pit latrines.
Permanent workers’ sites for Deedoke project will be equipped with a wastewater treatment
facility.
• Septic tanks should be inspected regularly, and any observed overflow must be reported
immediately to the Camp Manager. In this event, sceptic tank will be emptied and the
traces of overflow cleaned to avoid stagnant contaminated water in camp.
• Septic tanks should be emptied regularly to prevent overflowing and sludge transported
for treatment to any appropriate facility in the area
• If delivery of sludge to a treatment facility is not possible, disposal of sludge will be
done in the solid waste disposal site, together with the putrescible waste (food waste).
• When temporary camp is closed, latrine superstructures will be dismantled and removed
and the pits will be carefully filled with earth and compacted.
• Water quality of treatment facility outflow should be checked regularly to ensure
efficient operation of the facility.
Maintenance
• Inspect facilities regularly.
• Arrange for regular waste collection.

Name: Concrete Batching & Cleaning

ACTIVITY
Group: : Material & Waste Management
Description
Prevent or reduce the discharge of pollutants to storm water from concrete waste by performing
on-site washout in a designated area, by treating batching plant effluents and training employees
and subcontractors.

River pollution (cement and pH)

The following steps will help reduce storm water pollution form concrete wastes:
• Store dry and wet materials under cover, away from drainage areas.
• Avoid mixing excess amount of fresh concrete or cement on-site.
• Perform washout of concrete trucks in designated areas only, generally next to batching
plant.
• Do not wash out concrete trucks into storm drains, open ditches, or streams.
• Do not allow excess concrete to be dumped on-site, except in designated areas.
For on-site washout:
• Locate washout area at least 15 metres from storm drains, open ditches, or water bodies.
Do not allow runoff from this area by constructing a temporary pit or bermed area large
enough for liquid and solid waste;
• Wash out wastes into the temporary pit where the concrete can be set, be broken up, and
then disposed of properly.
• When washing concrete to remove fine particles and expose the aggregate, avoid creating
runoff by draining the water to a bermed or level area.
• Do not wash sweepings from exposed aggregate concrete into streams. Collect and return
sweepings to aggregate base stockpile, or dispose in the trash.
• Train employees and subcontractors in proper concrete waste management.
For batching plant effluents
• All effluents from batching plant must be drained and directed to a sedimentation pond,
separate from the storm water drainage of the site;
• Sedimentation pond must be regularly cleaned and sediments disposed safely in the pit
where concrete waste from trucks is disposed of.
Maintenance
• Regular monitoring of sedimentation pond outlet to ensure pH values range between
6 to 8
• Regular cleaning of pond sediment following general rules applicable to sedimentation
pond management

Name: Site Cleaning and Maintenance Operations

ACTIVITY
Group: Vehicle & Equipment Management
Description
Prevent or reduce the discharge of pollutants to river and streams from vehicles and equipment
by washing in designated, contained areas only, eliminating discharges to the storm drain by
infiltrating, and training employees and subcontractors.
Prevent or reduce the discharge of pollutants to storm water from vehicle and equipment
maintenance by running a “dry site”. This involves performing work in designated areas only,
providing cover for materials stored outside, checking for leaks and spills, containing and
cleaning up spills immediately, and training employees and subcontractors.
Soil and water pollution;
Occupational and public safety if vehicles are not appropriately maintained.
Cleaning of vehicles and equipment:
• When washing on-site, use designated wash areas to prevent wash water contact with
storm water, creeks, rivers, and other water bodies. The wash area can be sloped for
wash water collection and subsequent infiltration into the ground.
• Use as little water as possible to avoid having to install erosion and sediment control
for the wash area.
• Use phosphate-free, biodegradable soaps.
• Educate employees and subcontractors on pollution prevention measures.
Maintenance of vehicles and equipment:
Keep vehicles and equipment clean; don’t allow excessive build-up of oil and grease.
• If maintenance must occur on-site, use designated areas, located away from drainage
courses, to prevent the run-on of storm water and the runoff of spills.
• Maintaining vehicles and equipment outdoors or in areas where vehicles or equipment
fluids may spill or leak into the ground can pollute storm water. If you maintain a large
number of vehicles or pieces of equipment, consider using an off-site repair shop.
• Always use secondary containment, such as a drain pan or drop cloth, to catch spills or
leaks when removing or changing fluids.
• Place a stockpile of spill clean-up materials where it will be readily accessible.
• Use adsorbent materials on small spills rather than hosing down or burying the spill.
Remove the adsorbent materials promptly and dispose of properly.
• Regularly inspect on-site vehicles and equipment for leaks, and repair immediately.
• Check incoming vehicles and equipment (including delivery trucks and employee and
subcontractor vehicles) for leaking oil and fluids. Do not allow leaking vehicles or
equipment on-site.
• Segregate, recycle or dispose of wastes, such as greases, used oil or oil filters, cleaning
solutions, automotive batteries, hydraulic, and transmissions fluids. All these products
are classified as Hazardous waste and must be disposed of accordingly
• Automotive batteries can be stored for recycling but acid contained must be drained
and stored in an appropriate container on a Hazardous Waste Temporary Storage Area.
• Train employees and subcontractors in proper maintenance and spill clean-up
procedures

6.4.2.10 Training Program for Workers

A sample format for the training register is contained in Table 16.
At completion of each relevant training course, each participant will be issued with a
certificate of successful completion. A copy of the certificate will also be placed on
each participant’s employment file. A sample format for certificate to be developed.
The Owner Engineer will implement a rolling program of refresher courses in
environmental and health and safety awareness issues through the use of ‘tool-box’
sessions at construction sites. The program will aim to visit every construction site for a
2-hour session at least one time within a 6-months period.
During audits of the construction areas, workers knowledge of environmental, health
and safety issues will be examined.
Workers who have undergone job-specific training will be examined every 6 months in
relation to their knowledge and skills and subject to re-training as required. Records of
examination results and any re-training will be kept as part of the training register (refer
Table 16).
All new employees will complete relevant training (in accordance with Table 13, Table
14 and Table 15) prior to commencement of any activities on the construction site.
The key messages from the training sessions will be produced in poster and leaflet form
in Myanmar language. Posters will be displayed prominently in construction work

6.5 SOCIAL MANAGEMENT AND MONITORING PLAN
6.5.1 Site-Specific Management Plan
6.5.1.1 Chance Find Management Plan
1) Objective
The objectives of the plan are to ensure that any chance – find physical
cultural resources that might be identified during pre-construction and construction period
are dealt with in an appropriate manner and there is no theft or destruction of physical
cultural resources.
2) Context
Although no significant archaeological sites have been identified in the

project concerned areas, it is possible that during site clearance, earth moving and
excavation for construction of foundation of dam and power house archaeological objects
or archaeological deposits be discovered and damaged.

for Physical Cultural Resource.
• Construction workers will be informed of the rules of not stealing or
trading historic artifacts
• Include in the code of conduct a rule about not buying or trading
physical cultural objects.
• Performance monitoring of the Chance Find Management Plan will be

implemented through the regular Compliance Monitoring inspections of construction sites
in construction period.
• There should be also visual inspections on whether construction
workers are causing theft or destruction of physical cultural resource items.

• Physical Cultural Resource Chance Find Management.

• The person or group (identifier) who identifies or exposes the burial
ground must cease all activity in the immediate vicinity of the site;
• The identifier must immediately inform his/her supervisor of the
discovery;
• The supervisor must ensure that the site is secured and control access;
and
• The supervisor must then inform the relevant personnel responsible
included local and government cultural heritage administrative department.
• Potential significance of the remains will be assessed and mitigate
options will be identified.
If the significance of the remains is judged to be sufficient to warrant further

action and they cannot be avoided, then the project archaeologist in consultation with the
government cultural heritage administrative department and representatives of local
communities will determine the appropriate course of action.
Mitigation measures must be performed during pre-construction and

construction periods when there is “Chance-Find” of Physical Cultural Resource.

6.5.2 Thematic Management Plan
6.5.2.1 Compensation Management and Monitoring Plan
1) Objective
• To reduce the social impacts on villagers in the affected villages in the
construction area and related facilities area and along the transmission line.
2) Context
Hydropower Component

Land Required for the Construction Site (L1)

The Project will require about 151.74 acres of land on both banks of the
river for construction of the hydropower components and related facilities. The area to be
acquired will be about 38.22 acres on the right bank (referred to as L1R) and 113.52 acres
on the left bank (L1L).
Land to be Inundated during Operation (L2)
The hydropower plant will operate at the design water level of about 80 m
(a.s.l.). At this level, strips of river bank land along both banks will be permanently
submerged. However, the water level will still much below the levels at which houses in
the villages are located. Based on the contour map, the land to be inundated is estimated at
about 276.92 acres consisting of 140.92 acres on the right bank (L2R) and 136.00 acres on
the left bank (L2L). The raised water level will be about 19.6 km upstream from the dam.
Transmission Line Component
The 132 kV transmission line will be laid from the hydropower plant to
Belin substation on the southwest for a total distance of about 22.26 km.
Two types of land will be acquired for the transmission line.
Land to be acquired for the Construction of Support Towers (L3)
About 73 steel towers (27 tension towers and 46 suspension towers) will be
erected at an average 300 m interval. Each tower will require about either 50’ x 50’ (~15.24
m  15.24 m) of land for tension tower or 30’ x 30’ (~9.15m x 9.15m) for suspension tower.
For 73 towers, the total area to be permanently acquired for towers and related area will be
only 2.51 acres. For L3, about one third of towers are located in public land owned by the
state.
Land Use Right or Right of Way under the Transmission Line (L4)
The Project will need to acquire land use right on the 45.72 m, ~46 m (2 x
22.86 m) wide, 22.26 km corridor of the transmission line. This strip of land will not be
allowed for buildings and high trees. Cash crops would be allowed as long as they will not
impede access for inspection and maintenance of the transmission line. The total area of L4
will be about 248.98 acres.
The four types of land requirements are summarized in Table 17. For L4, an
estimated 29% of its length is also public land owned by the State while other types of land
are privately owned.

Compensation Principle and Policy
Compensation is defined by ADB6 as “Money or payment in kind to which

the people affected are entitled in order to replace the lost asset, resource or income”.
Compensation is also defined similarly by IFC7 as “Payment in cash or in kind for an asset
or a resource that is acquired or affected by a project at the time the asset needs to be
replaced”.
This RAP adopts a general principle that the people affected will not be
worse off compared to the pre-project level. Based on this principle and ADB’s safeguard
policy guidelines, the following compensation policy is recommended:
• For Group 1-PAPs: who will permanently lose part of their land and
crops for construction of hydropower components, the Project will provide adequate cash
compensation at full replacement cost for the lost land and crops prior to construction.
• For Group 2-PAPs: who will lose part of their land which is under
contour 80 m (a.s.l.) due to inundation during project operation, the Project will provide
cash compensation for the loss of land.
• For Group 3-PAPs: who will permanently lose land and crops due to
installation of transmission line support towers. Direct compensation in cash to individual
PAPs in Group 3 will be provided.
•
For Groups 4-PAPs: who own the land under transmission line with in
45.72-meter right-of-way and their right on land use will be limited i.e., they cannot build
house or plant perennial tree with height greater than 3 meters. Cash will be paid to PAPs
to compensate for the limited right on land utilization.

IFC Handbook for Preparing a Resettlement Action Plan

Eligibility
Eligibility will be determined using two criteria: cut-off date and possession
of Land Use Right Certificates (LURCs).
Cut-off Date: The cut-off date has not yet been determined. The cut-off date
should be the date at which the PAPs are officially informed of the intention of the
Government to acquire their land. The PAPs will be informed of the cut-off date. Any
people who use or settle in the land area to be acquired for the Project after the cut-off date
will not be entitled to compensation and/or assistance under the RAP.
LURCs: The eligibility for compensation to PAPs in Group 1, Group 2 and
Group 3 for land loss will be determined by the possession of LURCs or a claim that is
recognizable under national laws. Persons who do not have LURCs or any recognizable
claims to their land will not be eligible for compensation for land but will be entitled to
compensation for their affected assets upon land and limited right on land use.
Entitlement Matrix
Table 18 presents an entitlement matrix for Group 1, Group 2, Group 3 and

Group 4 PAPs.
• Check the compensation documents such as sheet evaluations of the

properties, copies of receipts and paid checks, complaint forms and conflict records;
• Interview with those involved and responsible for the compensation
program;
• Interview with affected households.
• PAPs will be compensated fairly within due date; and
• PAPs who accesses in appeal process, less than 5%.

6.5.2.2 Livelihood Restoration Management and Monitoring Plan
1) Objective
• To Enhance or at least restore the quality of life for Project Affected
Persons.
• To extent possible, prevent or minimize adverse social impacts.
• Mitigate all possible remaining adverse social impacts.
2) Context
The Project Affected Persons (PAPs) are people in the nearby villages of
the four land categories whose land will be used by the Project. Most of them would own
the land although some may be users of the four types of land requirements.
PAPs should be divided into four groups:
Group 1-PAP who are related to L1R and L1L.

Group 2-PAP who are related to L2R and L2L.
Group 3-PAP who are related to L3.
Group 4-PAP who are related to L4.
this plan include;
(a) Promote agricultural product with in home lot:
For villagers in the construction site and upstream area who lose their
farmland, production within home lot is one of mitigation to bring them food stuff and the
surplus can be sold for addition income as well.

Examples of home lot production are mushroom cultivation, growing

kitchen garden and green edible fence. Activities to promote home lot productions are;

• Training
Develop commercially successful and sustainable Animal Husbandry

by:
(c) Fishery
• Provision of training on aquaculture or fish pond raising, cage
culture.
• Set new equilibrium on newly river pondage area, introducing of
fish into river pondage area. Recommended releasing species should be replication of
herbivorous species, omnivorous species and carnivorous species. The recommended for
herbivorous species are such as Rohu and allied (Labeo spp), Cirrhinus mrigala for
example. The omnivorous species are such as silver barb (Barbonymus gonionotus), the
Sweetlips minnow (Osteochilus hasselti) and walking catfish (Clarias batrachus). The
carnivorous species are such as snakehead (Channa spp.), Wallago attu, Ompok spp. and
Bagrids catfish (Mystus spp.)
(d) Off-farm Occupation
• For increasing the chance and efficiency for villagers to work in this
project, preparing villagers to have skill and experience to work is needed. Sample of
occupation that villagers can occupy are construction worker, carpenter, gardener, guard,
light machine repair, trader, driver, food cooking, etc. Activities to prepare PAPs for off-
farm occupation are;
• Woman training for supplementary income. Activities to prepare

are:

• Check the livelihood restoration documents such as PAPs engagement

6.6 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (EMS)
The Project Proponent and the Contractor will both be involved in environmental
management of the Project construction. The Contractor will select construction methods
or practices that have least environmental impacts, thus meeting environmental
performance targets prescribed in the Contract. During the construction, the Contractor will
implement, under supervision of the Project Proponent, impact mitigation measures
prescribed in the Contract.
The Project Proponent and the Contractor will have to establish and operate their
own environmental management systems (EMS) for the Project construction. The two
EMSs will be related and based on the same information base. The Project Proponent’s
EMS will be focused on monitoring and reviewing environmental compliance at the Project
level as part of the Project management. The Contractor’s EMS will be focused on
environmental management at the task level as part of the construction management. The
two EMSs will therefore be complementary and will enable the Contractor and the Project
Proponent to complete the Project construction with no significant environmental impacts.
The EMS of the Project Proponent will adopt the following procedures:
6.6.1 Monitoring, Evaluation and Reporting
6.6.1.1 Scheduled Environmental Monitoring and Evaluation
Before commencing the construction, the Contractor will review and update
existing data on relevant baseline environmental condition, particularly at locations
expected to be affected by the construction.

Scheduled monitoring of environmental performance is required throughout the

construction phase of the Project to evaluate compliance with legal requirements, the
environmental management objectives, and relevant policies, standards and guidelines. The
monitoring and evaluation will enable the overall effectiveness of the environmental
controls to be determined and allow areas of non-compliance to be identified so corrective
actions can be taken. The environmental monitoring plan for each issue to be managed is
also presented in each sub-plan.
Environmental monitoring will be undertaken according to the following:
• The Contractor’s EHS Manager is responsible for implementing the

monitoring plans, and arranging training and specialist consultants for the monitoring as
required.
• The monitoring will be conducted by the Contractor using the approved
methods stated in the Contract.
• Environmental results not meeting the required standards will be managed
as per the corrective action process and issued with a non-compliance report.
• The EHS Manager will advise the Contractor Project Manager of any
noncompliance from monitoring and will report these to the Owner’s EHS Manager as
required.
6.6.1.2 Site Inspections
In addition to scheduled environmental monitoring, the Contractor’s EHS

Manager will conduct daily, weekly, and monthly general inspections of the three
construction sites. The objectives are to early identify or detect factors which, if unattended
to, could result in major environmental events and/or non-compliance. A general scope of
inspections is outlined below in Table 19 and it will need to be updated when the detailed
construction plan is made.
The daily inspections will be informal visual inspections to observe conditions

of the construction sites. The focus will be on the power plant construction site where
construction activities are concentrated.
The weekly inspections will be formal visual inspections in more details than the
daily inspections.
The Contractor’s EHS Manager will be responsible for the daily and weekly site
inspections. The Owner’s EHS Manager will participate in the weekly site inspections, and
occasionally in the daily site inspections.
The monthly inspections will be conducted in more detail than the weekly
inspections. The monthly inspections will also include risk triggers identified in the
environmental risk management plan. The monthly inspections will be conducted jointly
by personnel from both sides, including the Project Managers, the Construction Manager
and the EHS Managers.

6.6.2 Environmental Incidents
6.6.2.1 Definition of an Environmental Incident
In addition to scheduled environmental monitoring, the monitoring will also

cover environmental incidents. An environmental incident during Project construction is
an occurrence which has (or potentially could have had) a negative or adverse effect on the
environment. An adverse effect is something that causes (or could have caused)
environmental harm. An environmental incident can also be a deviation from a requirement
or practice prescribed in this CEMP and the Contractor CEMP. This means there has been
a failure to follow the established process or procedures that help the Project achieve best
practice (e.g. failure to report a spill). Some environmental incident could create an
emergency, i.e. its impact is so serious that it has to be promptly dealt with. Potential
environmental incidents and emergencies are identified in the environmental risk
assessment for the construction phase in Chapter 5.
6.6.2.2 Environmental Incident Form
An environmental incident, once noted, has to be recorded in an Environmental

Incident Form (EIF). A standard Environmental Incident Form (EIF) template will be used
for all site specific activities throughout the construction of the Project. An Environmental
Incident Form is proposed in Appendix 6A.
6.6.2.3 Environmental Incident Register
The Contractor’s EHS Manager will input all data from completed EIFs as soon
as possible to generate an Environmental Incident Register (EIR). A standard
Environmental Incident Register (EIR) will be controlled by the Contractor’s EHS
Manager. It will contain all environmental incidents occurring on the construction sites of
the power plant, transmission line, gas pipeline, and access road. The EIR will be discussed
regularly at the project environmental performance review meetings. These meetings will
discuss the corrective actions taken, and the preventative measures that have been put in
place.

6.6.3 Monitoring Reports
Two types of monitoring reports will be generated in the environmental

monitoring and site inspections. The first type is reports generated for internal use to
provide feedback to the EMS. The second type is reports generated for submission to
MONREC, which will be disclosed to public as prescribed in Chapter VII of the EIA
Procedure (2015).
6.6.3.1 Internal Monitoring Reports
Site Inspection Reports
The Contractor’s EHS Manager will record results of the daily inspections in
daily site inspection notes. The Contractor’s EHS Manager and Construction Manager will
review the daily site inspection notes on a weekly basis to confirm that the checks and
subsequent required works are being carried out, and additional inspections are included as
per construction progress.
For weekly inspections, the Contractor’s EHS Manager will present results of
the inspections in weekly site inspection reports for discussion in the weekly project review
meetings. Both the daily inspection notes and weekly inspection reports will highlight
factors or events that could lead to noncompliance and will need attention of the
Contractor’s Project Manager.
The Contractor’s EHS Manager will prepare monthly site inspection reports as
part of the monthly environmental monitoring reports.
Environmental Monitoring Reports
The Contractor’s EHS Manager will prepare monthly environmental

performance reports for submission to the Owner’s Project Manager. The monthly
environmental monitoring report will concisely present (i) results of scheduled
environmental monitoring and site inspections carried out during the month; (ii) identified
non-compliance, if any, and causes of the non-compliance; (iii) complaints received; (iv)
environmental incidents; (v) associated investigations and corrective actions taken; (vi)
proposed changes to the monitoring plan, if any; and (vii) work program for the following
month.
The monthly environmental performance reports will be discussed in the

monthly project status review meetings or in separate monthly environmental performance
meetings as appropriate.
6.6.3.2 Monitoring Reports for Submission to MONREC
Based on the monthly internal monitoring reports and results of the monthly
review meetings, the Owner’s EHS Manager will prepare a project environmental
monitoring report every six months for submission to MONREC. This report as prescribed
in the EIA Procedure, 2015 (Article 89) will contain the following:
• documentation of compliance with all Conditions;

•progress made to date on implementation of the EMP against the submitted

implementation schedule;
• difficulties encountered in implementing the EMP and recommendations for
remedying those difficulties and steps proposed to prevent or avoid similar future
difficulties;
• number and type of non-compliance with the EMP and proposed remedial
measures and timelines for completion of remediation;
• accidents or incidents relating to the occupational and community health and
safety, and the environment; and
• monitoring data of environmental parameters and conditions as committed
in the EMP or otherwise required.
The monitoring reports should also present the construction progress over the
report period.
6.6.4 Corrective Actions
The Contractor will be instructed by the Owner Project Manager to take

corrective actions for any identified non-compliance. Taking corrective actions in
managing EHS aspect of the Project will have to be a part of project management and use
the same procedure for taking corrective actions in managing other aspects of the
Project.The procedure proposed in this CEMP will therefore have to be reviewed and
revised as necessary to make it similar to the procedure for other aspects of the Project. A
single procedure for taking corrective actions should be used in project management.
The Contractor is required to establish own procedure for corrective actions

related to EHS non-compliances.
A. Categories of Non-Compliances
Non-compliances cover non-compliance with legal requirements, non-

conformance with internal requirements of the Project, inadequate environmental
performance, environmental incident, and complaints or grievances received from the
public. Non-compliances could be identified from the following:
• External EHS audits;
• Internal EHS audits;
• Site inspection notes and reports;
• Schedule environmental monitoring;
• Complaints, grievance or inquiries registers;
• Environmental incident registers;
• Specific environmental studies and reports;
• Directives from MONREC/ECD or other government authorities;
• Review meetings;

• Recommendations from any project staff member, Contractor or

visitors, which are considered by the EHS Manager and the Project Manager to warrant
investigation.
B. Categories of Non-Compliances
EHS non-compliances can be identified, ranked and recorded at three levels.

Once the level of a non-compliance has been established the appropriate tool shall
automatically be selected for closing out the non-compliance. The actions required for each
are detailed below; also a temporary work suspension for cause may be enforced in case of
Level A or B non- compliances.
Level A: A critical non-compliance situation, typically including material

damage to or a reasonable expectation of impending material damage to an ecologically or
socially sensitive resource or has the potential for an extreme health and safety incident.
Intentional disregard of project standards which may lead to a serious EHS incident is also
classified as Level A.
Level B: A non-compliance situation that has not yet resulted in clearly

identified damage or irreversible impact to sensitive important resource, or has the potential
for a serious health and safety incident. It requires expeditious corrective action and site
specific attention to prevent such effects. Repeated Level B non-compliance may become
Level A non-compliance if left unattended or are continuously recurring.
Level C: A non-compliance situation not consistent with the original

requirements but not believed to present an immediate threat to an identified important
resource, community or employee health and safety. Repeated Level C non-compliance
may become Level B non-compliance if left unattended.
The non-compliance may also be of a procedural nature where the

Contractor has failed to implement specified requirements and actions. In this case, the
Contractor may need to take actions to ensure the procedural requirements are effectively
implemented.
C. Responsibilities and Process
The Owner’s EHS Manager will be responsible for identifying and ranking
EHS non-compliances. However, all Project management personnel are encouraged to help
identify EHS non-conformance.
The Owner’s EHS Manager will take actions according to the category of
non-compliances.
For Level A Non-Compliances: The Owner’s EHS Manager will report the
identified non-conformances to the Project Manager with recommendations on corrective
actions and instructions for the Contractor.
For Level B Non-Compliances: The Owner’s EHS Manager will issue

instructions to the Contractor in consultation with the Project Manager and the Resident
Engineer as necessary.

For Level C Non-Compliances: The Owner’s EHS Manager will instruct the

report should be in one or two pages in a Form to be designed.
Each and every non-compliance report will be closed out on a progressive

basis, until construction is completed.
Non Compliance Report Forms will be verified and closed out by the
originator or his designee. Correspondence referring to a proposed course of action shall
be referenced and attached to the Non Compliance Report Form as appropriate and stored
within the Project Documentation System.

6.7 EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN (ERP)
6.7.1 Application of the CERP
At the request of the Project Proponent, the EIS Consultant prepares this
Emergency Response Plan (CERP) for the construction of Deedoke Hydroelectric Power
Project as part of the EIS study and present as part of the CEMP. It should be noted that the
Contractors will have to be contractually bound to prepare and implement an ERP for
review and approval by the Project Proponent. The CERP must be based on the detailed
design and construction plan, schedule, and methods prepared by Contractors and approved
by the Project Proponent to be part of the contract. Therefore, this CERP prepared as part
of the EIS study can only be considered as an initial ERP with substance at the conceptual
level. The Project Proponent should use this initial CERP to prescribe minimum
requirements for the CERP to be prepared by Contractors before commencing the
construction.
Contractors will further develop this initial CERP to become the final CERP
which will have to be ready for implementation in due course before the construction. To
facilitate its further development by Contractors, this initial ERP adopts the structure of the
final CERP. Contractors will have to fill identified information gaps and add more details
as appropriate.
6.7.2 The Initial ERP
(1) Purpose and Scope
This Emergency Response Plan for Construction (CERP) is prepared by

(Name of Contractors). The CERP covers emergency incidents that may occur in the
construction sites during the construction of the Deedoke HPP. The emergency incidents
could have adverse impacts on the environment, and on health and safety of construction
workers and nearby communities.
The purposes of the CERP are:
• To ensure that all concerned personnel of Contractors will efficiently

and effectively discharge their assigned responsibilities in handling emergency situations
occurring in the construction of the Deedoke HPP and its associated facilities to minimize
adverse impacts on the environment and health and safety of the construction workers and
the nearby communities; and
• To ensure public confidence in the readiness of the Contractor to
efficiently and effectively respond to emergency situations occurring in the construction.
In line with the above purpose, the CERP presents key emergency incidents,
procedures for responding to the emergency incidents, organization for the management of
CERP implementation, responsibilities of concerned units and persons in the Contractor’s
construction management organization in emergency response, training requirements, and
guidelines for review and updating of the CERP.

(2) Implementers of the CERP
The CERP is applied to all personnel of the Contractor and Subcontractors.

The CERP should be studied by staff of the Project Management Office of the Project
Owner and concerned staff of the local authorities.
The CERP is made available to the Tripartite Committee. The CERP is also
disclosed to the public through the web site of the Project Owner: http:www.____________
Questions regarding the CERP can be directed to:

Mr.
Construction Manager
Name of the Contractor
Tel.
E-mail:
(3) Scope of Construction
The construction of Deedoke HPP covers the following facilities:
• Dam construction structure consisting of 2 pre-coffer dams, 2 coffer

dams, dam crest, power waterway, power house, diversion conduit and spillway.
The construction will be completed in 4.5 years based on the construction

schedule. It should be noted that the construction schedule may be revised from time to
time as appropriate.
(Note: This section is to be prepared by the Contractor based on the detailed design and detailed
construction plan.)
(4) Incidents Considered Emergencies
Emergency incidents are:
• Risk events or incidents that still occur despite the implementation of

risk mitigation measures
• Risk events that cannot be managed such as natural calamities.
Incidents that are considered emergencies are those that demand quick
response as they are causing serious consequences or are certain to escalate and cause
serious consequences.
In the construction of this Project, the following incidents are considered

emergencies:
• Accidents resulting in serious injuries or fatalities of construction

personnel
• Fire and explosion, including fires at the worker camp
• Hazardous chemical/oil spill on water or land
• Vehicle/equipment accident

(5) Organization for Emergency Response
The departments responsible for the implementation of the Construction-

EMP are the Company’s Environmental Management Office and, for Contractors, the
Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) Department. Both the Company and Contractors
will ensure the availability of staff resources to establish, implement, maintain and improve
the Construction-EMP.
Role, responsibility and authority of the Company’s EMO and Contractor’s

HSE Department will be defined, documented and communicated in order to facilitate
effective environmental management.
(6) Procedures
A. Emergency Communications
Emergency communication will generally be through Ultra High

Frequency (UHF) radio using a dedicated emergency channel as nominated by the Project
Owner. However, manually activated alarm systems will be installed at various high risk
areas in the construction site.
B. Notification Procedure
In case of Emergency incidents, the person discovered the incident must

promptly activate the manual alarm system, and notify the Area Supervisors or raise alarm
on emergency UHF channel.
For Employee Notification, the alarm warning to evacuate the location

and assemble at Muster Point or safe location will be delivered through an audible,
intermittent sound signal alarm. When the evacuation signal is given, all personnel will
evacuate the location and proceed to the designated assembly areas. An internal network of
communications has been developed to alert workers to danger, convey safety information,
and maintain site control. Any effective system or combination of systems is to be
employed.
During emergency action and response training, employees are made

aware of the various types of notification systems.
After the emergency incident is verified and its nature is defined, the
EHS Manager will immediately inform the Project Manager (PM). The Project Manager
will activate the HSE for implementation of the CERP. All teams under the HSE will be
immediately deployed to take appropriate actions as prescribed in the Response Procedures.
C. Emergency Response Actions
Emergency response actions have been predetermined to facilitate the

management of incidents at the Project. Incidents may include one or more response plans
and they should be used in unison as required. The responses covered include:
• Incident resulting in injuries

• Incident resulting in fatality

• Fire and explosion

• Hazardous chemical/oil spill on water or land
• Vehicle/equipment accident
The procedure of each Emergency response actions are shown in

Figure 8 to Figure 12.
Figure 8: Incident resulting in injuries

Figure 9: Incident resulting in fatality

Figure 10: Fire and explosion

Figure 11: Hazardous chemical/oil spill on water or land

Figure 12: Vehicle/equipment accident

D. Emergency Evacuation
In the event of an emergency and evacuation is determined necessary,

all personnel are to be evacuated to the muster point. The evacuation procedures are as
follows:
• Should close doors behind, but do not lock unless otherwise
instructed.
• Should switch off or unplug the electrically operated machines or
equipment prior to leaving the work area.
• Leave lights on for Emergency personnel.
• Should walk, remain quiet, and follow all other emergency
instructions.
• All personnel will assemble at the muster point.
• The evacuation team will account for all personnel at the muster
point.
• The evacuation will follow the incident reporting procedures.
E. Documentation Procedure
The emergency response team dispatched to the site shall record

necessary information which will be later used for preparing documentation and an
Emergency Response Report (ERR). The required information includes but is not limited
to:

project files. Emergency equipment is to include, but not limited to the following:
• Class A, B, C fire extinguisher based on construction site and

construction activities
• First aid kit
• Eye wash
• Emergency shower
• Potable water
• Appropriate vehicles for transporting injured person
It is recognized that emergency response resources, such as fire control

resources, of local authorities are very limited. Therefore, Contractors has a fire-truck on a
24-hour standby basis to effectively respond to emergency situations. In addition, a clinic
with a medical officer and two nurses is established to provide initial medical treatment to
construction workers as well as to respond to medical aid needs during emergencies.

(8) Training Program
Effective training is essential for members of the HSE to enable them to

efficiently and effectively respond to emergency incidents. Contractors will identify key
personnel to receive training which will be conducted annually focusing on new members
of the HSE. The training is to include, but not limited to the following:
• Firefighting;
• First Aid;
• Emergency Evacuation;
• Medical and Environmental Emergencies; and
• Other subjects as required.
(9) Drilling
The ERM will ensure that the emergency operations must be rehearsed once
every six months.
(10) Review and Updating the CERP
The CERP shall be reviewed and amended annually or any time to:
• Correct deficiencies or inadequacies that are found

• Reflect changes in the organizational structure of the HSE, contact lists,
telephone numbers, and e-mail addresses. The Project Manager and HSE members will be
responsible for the review and amendment process.
(11) Operational Manuals
Members of the HSE will refer to the relevant operational manuals in their
implementation of the response procedures in this CERP. The reference operational
manuals include, but not limited to, the following:
• Operational Manual on Safety Construction

etc.)
• Operational Manual on Firefighting and Evacuation at Construction
Sites
• Operational Manual on First-aid and Initial Medical Treatment in
Construction Site
• Operational Manual on Hazardous and Oil Spills Management

6.8 ARRANGEMENTS FOR OPERATING THE EMS
6.8.1 Responsibilities
There are three key groups with responsibility for environmental management
of the Project:
•Project Proponent or Project Owner who manages the Project through a

Project Manager;
• Contractor as the party undertaking the construction; and
• MONREC through ECD and other government agencies at the regional,
township and community levels.
Responsibilities of each party in environmental management are as follows:
Project Proponent
The Project Proponent is legally responsible to MONREC and other line

organizations responsible for specific environmental issues for environmental performance
of the Project as prescribed as conditions in the ECC and other permits.
Specifically, the Project Proponent will have the following responsibilities:
• Supervise closely the Contractor in implementing the Contractor CEMP as

an integral part of its project implementation management and construction supervision.
• Submit periodic monitoring reports to MONREC as required in the EIA
Procedure (2015).

MONREC
MONREC is the key agency to monitor and evaluate environmental performance

of the Project construction. Other agencies concerned will support MONREC in the
monitoring and evaluation of environmental performance of the Project construction.
6.8.2 Organizational Structure
As environmental management will be carried out as part of the Project

management, it will be a functional unit in the project management organization. Figure
13 shows a tentative organizational structure for Project construction consisting of an
organizational structure of the Project Proponent and an organizational structure of the
Contractor. The two organizational structures will need to be revised as appropriate as the
Project moves from the planning stage to the design stage.
(1) Organizational Structure of the Project Proponent
The Project Proponent will establish a Project Management Office (PMO),

headed by a Project Manager. The Project Manager will be responsible for the overall
Project management to ensure that the Project construction will be completed on time and
fully meet the requirements on scope, quality, budget and environmental performance of
the Project construction. The PMO will have seven functional units: (i) Contract
management and administration; (ii) construction quality control (civil works); (iii) quality
control (mechanical and electrical works); (iv) system performance control; (v)
environmental, health and safety management; (vi) stakeholder management; and (vii)
administrative support.
The EHS management and the stakeholder management functions are

directly related to the implementation of the Project CEMP. The two functions cover the
following tasks or activities:
EHS Management Function:

• review the Contractor CEMP and environmentally-related construction
method statements and work instructions prepared by the Contractor;
• ensure that environmental monitoring activities of the Contractor are
properly carried out and will generate reliable data;
• inspect sites where environmental mitigation measures are
implemented;
• review periodic EHS reports submitted by the Contractor;

• evaluate the Contractor’s environmental performance;

• prepare Project EHS performance reports;
•
in consultation with the relevant quality control functional unit, prepare
recommendations to the Project Manager on corrective actions related to environmental
performance;
• coordinating with MONREC/ECD and other government agencies
concerned regarding monitoring environmental compliance of the Project; and
• make arrangements to facilitate site inspection by MONREC/ ECD and
other agencies concerned.
Stakeholder Management Function:
• design and implement an appropriate CSR program for the Project;

• process public complaints in accordance with the public grievance
redress process;
• carry out community and public relation activities to ensure acceptance
of the Project by all key stakeholders of the Project; and
• coordinate with the EHS Manager in making arrangements for site visit
or inspection by the Project stakeholders.
(2) Organizational Structure of the Contractor
The Contractor will establish a Contractor Project Management Office

(CPMO), headed by a Contractor Project Manager. The Contractor Project Manager will
be responsible for the overall management of Project construction, testing and
commissioning of the power plant and associated facilities to ensure that the Project
construction will be completed on time and fully meet the requirements on scope, quality,
budget and environmental performance. The CPMO will also have seven functional units:
(i) design management; (ii) construction management; (iii) Contract management and
administration, including Contracts with sub-contractors; (iv) procurement and supply
management; (v) system commissioning; (vi) environmental, health and safety
management; and (vii) office management, including all management and administrative
supports. The Contractor may have a different organizational structure but the EHS

The construction management and the EHS management functions are

directly related to the implementation of the Contract-specific or Contractor CEMP. The
two functions cover the following tasks or activities:
(a) Construction Management Function

• translate environmental mitigation measures into construction
method statements and work instructions for engineers and foremen to carry out;
• closely supervise construction activities with environmental
impacts and implementation of mitigation measures to ensure residual environmental
impacts will be within permissible limits;
•ensure full compliance with all environmental management
covenants in the Contract; and
• coordinate and facilitate environmental monitoring activities of the
EHS personnel.
(b) EHS Management Function:

• review the Project CEMP and prepare a Contract specific CEMP;
• update the Contractor-specific CEMP as needed to reflect the latest
changes in construction plan or schedules;
• prepare environmentally-related construction method statements
and work instructions in consultation with the construction management functional unit;
• carry out environmental monitoring of construction activities as
prescribed in the monitoring schedules in the Contract-specific CEMP;
• closely supervise the implementation of environmental mitigation
measures in collaboration with the construction management functional unit;
• prepare periodic EHS performance reports for submitting to the
Project Proponent;
• coordinate with the EHS management functional unit of the Project
Proponent to facilitate site inspection or visits of officials from MONREC/ECD, other
government agencies, and representatives of communities in the vicinities;
• cooperate with the Project Proponent in investigations related to
public complaints;
•in consultation with the construction management functional unit,
prepare recommendations to the Contractor Project Manager on corrective actions related
to environmental performance; and
•carry out environmental monitoring during the commissioning of
power plant system and prepare an environmental performance report of the power plant.
It should be noted that environmental management during the system

commissioning will be included in the OEMP.The power plant operation and maintenance
team will participate in the commissioning and will take over the power plant and
associated facilities once the technical and environmental performance of the power plant
is accepted.

The Project Management team will support the power plant O&M team
during the transition phase between construction and operational phases. In particular, the
Project Management team is responsible for the sign off construction and post construction
resource consent and designation conditions, handover of environmental monitoring data
and reports and compliance and audit reports before the Project is handed to the O&M
team.
6.8.3 Documentation
All documents generated in environmental management and references used will

be systematically filed and maintained as part of the Project documentation system. The
Contractor is required to design and establish an appropriate documentation system for
environmental management as an element of its project documentation system which is an
integral element of its project management information system. The documentation system
will include an appropriate document control procedure.
The Contractor will ensure that the Project Proponent will have a convenient
access to its documentation system for environmental management. The documentation
system will provide information for environmental audit of the Contractor. Details on the
access to the documentation system and documentation control related to the Project
Proponent will be worked out by the Contractor and presented in its CEMP.
6.8.4 Communication Plan
Environmental management of the Project construction will involve

communication, both internally and externally. Clear, concise and timely communications
are important to the achievement of the objectives of environmental management.
Internal communication will involve: (i) communications within PMO; and (ii)
communications within CPMO; and (iii) communications between PMO and CPMO.
External communication will involve communications between PMO and stakeholders and
the public. Communications between CPMO and stakeholders will need to receive prior
concurrence of PMO.
Communications relevant to environmental management of the Project

construction will clearly be a part of the project communication.
(1) Objectives of Communication
Internal Communication
The objective of internal communication within PMO and CPMO is to

ensure efficiency of environmental management of the Project construction.
The objective of internal communication between PMO and CPMO is to

ensure efficiency in monitoring and control environmental management performance of the
Contractor, which leads to efficient environmental management of the Project construction.

External Communication
The objective of external communication between PMO and MONREC and

other concerned government authorities is to comply with the reporting requirements
prescribed in the EIA Procedure (2015).
The objectives of external communication between PMO and communities

around the Project site as well as mass media and NGOs, if any, are to: (i) ensure adequate
and correct understanding of environmental impacts of the Project; and (ii) keep the
stakeholders closely informed of the Project’s efforts in environmental management and
environmental performance of the Project construction. The bottom line is to create trust
among the stakeholders in the Project’s determination and commitment to environmental
management to enable the Project to exist in harmony with the environment and
communities.
(2) Topics of Communication
Major topics of communication include:
• scope of construction;
• construction schedule;
• environmental impacts and mitigation measures;
• environmental policy, objectives, and targets;
• environmental management roles and responsibilities;
• legal requirements and environmental quality standards;
• OCEMP;
• CCEMP;
• results of environmental monitoring and performance evaluation;
• hazards and emergency situation; and
• mechanisms for grievance redress, queries, comments, or complaints
from stakeholders
As communication involves providing information, information

requirements related to the above communication topics for various communicating parties
will need to be identified. Internal and external communications will have different
information requirements as they have different objectives. Table 20 presents a tentative
information requirements for the internal and external communications.

(3) Management Review
This CEMP will be consistently reviewed and updated by the EMS Manager
or the Project Manager to ensure that it adequately responds to the construction progress
and changes in the construction schedule and methods, if any.
6.9 PUBLIC CONSULTATION AND DISCLOSURE
6.9.1 Organization for Public Consultation
A tripartite committee is proposed to be set up by the Project in consultation with

the community heads and representatives of the national, regional, and township
administrations. The committee should be represented by: ( i) the government sector,
including MONREC/ECD, DHPI of Mandalay Region and township involved; (ii) villages
nearest to the Project site; and (iii) the Project Proponent. Tentatively, the committee should
not have more than 12 members; of which 3 represent the government sector, 6 represent

the villages, and 3 represent the Project Proponent. The ECD official should be the
chairperson and the Project Manager of the Project Proponent should serve as secretariat
of the committee. The secretariat will be assisted by the EHS Manager of the Project
Proponent as assistant secretariat of the committee. Representatives of the Contractor
should participate in the committee meetings to support information.
The tripartite committee should have the following responsibilities:
• Review and comment on the Contractor CEMP submitted by the

Contractor to ensure the Contractor CEMP adequately address key concerns or issues raised
by the stakeholders;
• Review the periodic monitoring and evaluation reports and, if there are
performance gaps, give advices on the most appropriate course of action to fill the gaps;
• Review the periodic reports on issue and grievance management;
• Appoint additional committee members as deemed appropriate;
• Organize public discussion forum for promoting understanding of the
Project and the communities’ needs, and cooperation among the three parties for mutual
benefits; and
• Review and comments on community assistance initiatives of the
Project as part of its CSR.
The tripartite committee may appoint two working groups, one on

environmental management, and another on social management, to provide technical
supports to the committee.
6.9.2 Information Disclosure
Information to be disclosed during the Project construction phase will be

monitoring reports as required in Article 90 of the EIA Procedure (2015) shown below.
The Project Owner shall within ten (10) days of completing a monitoring report
contemplated in Articles 88 and 89 in accordance with EMP schedule make the report
publicly available on the Project’s website, at a designated public office as agreed with the
Ministry and at the Project offices. Any organization or person may request a digital copy
of a monitoring report and the Project shall, within ten (10) days of receiving such request,
submit a digital copy via email or as may otherwise be agreed upon with the requestor.
The Owner PMO will make arrangements for the disclosure of monitoring
reports in compliance with the above legal requirements. In addition, information on
environmental management will be disclosed to the proposed tripartite committee.

6.9.3 Grievance Redress Mechanism
6.9.3.1 Objectives
Project Proponent in collaboration with Mandalay Region Authority will

establish mechanisms or procedures to provide avenues for the PAPs to air their grievances.
The grievance redress mechanisms and procedures will be operated with the objective to
ensure that the grievances raised by the PAPs will be effectively dealt with in a timely and
satisfactory manner. So, all PAPs can send any questions to concerned government
agencies regarding their rights in relation with entitlement of compensation, compensation
policy, compensation rate, land acquisition, livelihood restoration, complaints related to
environmental, health and safety of the project construction, etc.
6.9.3.2 Grievance Management Process
An effective and accessible grievance redress mechanism will be established to

ensure speedy resolution of grievances.
In the first instance, the grievance management process will seek to resolve
disagreements or stakeholder concerns before they evolve into grievances. This is done
through ongoing engagement with stakeholders throughout the Project, particularly the
PAPs. The resulting informal negotiations and discussions will be conducted in a
transparent manner and will be appropriately documented.
In instances, where ongoing engagement is not sufficient, and grievances arise,

stakeholders, including PAPs, will have the opportunity to lodge a grievance.
A variety of methods will be available through which stakeholders can lodge

grievances. This will include:
• Face-to-face meetings with the Project nominated person;

• Written communication (e.g. email, letter) directed to the Project nominated
person; and
• Telephone call placed to the Project nominated person.
It is anticipated that the Communities Team will be the first point of contact for
villagers to raise grievances (and other issues and concerns).
Grievances will be forwarded to and reviewed by the Project nominated person,

who will determine if:
• The grievance is not valid (e.g. does not relate to the Project). If it is decided
that a grievance is not valid, the grievance will be dismissed and advice of the decision and
the reasons for dismissal will be provided to the complainant in writing (and in person if
required);
• The grievance is a minor issue (e.g. a request for information or
clarification). A response will be provided in writing (and in person if required); and

• The grievance is a major issue (e.g. repetitive or sensitive issue, related to

compensation, group complaints). Major issues will involve investigation prior to a
response being developed. The Communities Team General Manager will need to sign-off
on responses for all grievances considered to be major.
GRIEVANCE MANAGEMENT PROCESS

Step 1. Receive grievance
Record the grievance in the stakeholder database.
Step 2. Acknowledge the grievance
Respond to the complainant indicating that the grievance will be reviewed.
This should occur within 48 hours of receiving the grievance.
Step 3. Determine validity of the grievance
For grievance determined not to be valid provide response to the
complainant.
For all other grievances, under an investigation.
Step 4. Investigate the grievance
This may require a site visit –e.g. to investigate property damage –and/or an
internal review –e.g. to confirm management process are being followed as
required.
Step 5. Respond to the stakeholder
Identify corrective actions (or steps to be taken in response to the grievance).
Agree corrective actions with complainant. Confirm agreement in writing –
signed by the project and complainant.
Step 6. Close-out the grievance
Record final outcome in the stakeholder database and close-out grievance.
All grievances will be recorded in the stakeholder database. This will include a
summary of the grievance, the resolution or agreement on proposed actions (between the
Project and the complainant), and monitoring of actions taken in response to the grievance.
In addition, the grievance log will be stored in the database.
6.9.3.3 Roles and Responsibilities
(1) Independent Expert Group and the Communities Team
Mainly, Project Proponent will appoint the Independent Expert Group and
the Communities Team. The Independent Expert Group will support, coordinate and
manage the compensation process on the ground and will ensure that the compensation
process is in line with international guidelines, particularly those by the World Bank / IFC.
This Independent Expert Group will also supervise the implementation of the project’s
Environmental Management Plans. The Communities Team will be responsible for day-to-
day implementation (Figure 14).

Figure 14: Project communities framework
The Communities Team consists of 3 main divisions:
(i) Community Relations division: responsible for day-to-day

engagement with Project stakeholders, including village members and township and
Regional Government Representatives. This will be guided by a stakeholder engagement
action plan and supported by a stakeholder database and relevant on-ground personnel. The
Community Relations division will also be responsible for receiving and responding to
grievances.
(ii) Community Development division: responsible for development and
implementation of the Project’s corporate social responsibility plan. The focus will be on
supporting development within the local communities; and
(iii) Land Acquisition division: responsible for overseeing the land
acquisition, and livelihood restoration activities. This includes overseeing implementation
of relevant studies (e.g. census, asset and land inventory), commissioning the market
valuation study, and development and implementation of the sub-project RAPs. The Land
Acquisition division will work closely with the Independent Expert Group for
implementation of the sub-project RAPs. This includes:
• Compensation payment
• Livelihood restoration of the PAPs
• Grievance redress and
• Monitoring and reporting.
(2) The Project Management Committee
Amongst other activities it is recommended that the Project Management

Committee play an active role in the compensation and livelihood restoration process
including environmental management process. This will provide government a level of

oversight in the processes. It is recommended that the project Management Committee be

responsible for:
• Endorsing the cut-off date once the census and land and asset inventory
have been completed;
• Attending disclosure meetings with PAPs;
• Reviewing monitoring reports generated during implementation of the
project RAP; and environmental management plans; and
• Negotiate an outcome where the complainant is not satisfied with the
initial response provided by the Communities Team to a grievance. This will involve
engaging with the complainant as well as the Communities Team to reach a mutually
agreeable outcome. It is recommended that minutes from the committee meetings be made
publicly available to enhance transparency in decision-making processes.
(3) Deedoke Compensation Sub-Committee
Deedoke Compensation Sub-Committee will be established to lead on the

compensation process. The role of the Sub-Committee will be:
• Defining compensation rates

• Provide input on key aspects of the project RAP
• Relay stakeholder issues and concerns to the Communities Team
• Disseminate Project information to stakeholders
• Provide input to the monitoring process, and
• Be aware of grievances that are raised
The Deedoke Compensation Sub-Committee will include representatives

from the Project Proponent (e.g. the Communities Team), local government and the Project
affected villages. Consideration will need to be given to who represents the villages.
Representative from the affected villages should include not only men, but also women and
youth. There should be a clear and transparent election process for village representatives.
Each village representative should be provided with:
(i) A daily cash allowance for assistance with the compensation and
livelihood restoration process;
(ii) Training on their role and responsibilities; and
(iii) Specific minimum targets / requirements against which they will be

assessed. Given the lengthy duration of the Project, consideration should be given to setting
limits on the length of time that members can sit on the committees – in particular the
village representatives.
This will keep reduce the burden on any one village member, enable new ideas
to be injected into the committee and reduce the potential for members to be co-opted by a
particular interest group. Change over should be staggered – so as to preserve institutional
knowledge. It is recommended that committee members be required to sign and adhere to
a Code of Conduct, which sets out criteria for integrity, transparency, objectivity, openness

and accountability. It is recommended that minutes from the committee meetings be made
publicly available to enhance transparency in decision-making processes.
6.10 ENVIRONMENTAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Environmental risk management is to be carried out as part of the Project risk

management. Section 5.2 on environmental risk assessment identifies and assesses
environmental risks during the construction phase. Each major environmental risk will be
documented in an Environmental Risk Register (ERR). The ERR is to be maintained and
regularly updated and reassessed to allow all significant aspects to be identified. The Risk
Register will allow the Project team to monitor risk factors, update the risk assessment, and
make changes to the risk mitigation measures and controls accordingly to ensure efficient
risk management. It should be noted that an emergency plan is essentially a risk mitigation
measure.
6.11 AUDIT
External EHS audits will be undertaken at the end of first year of the construction
period and at physical completion of the construction. These two audits will be undertaken
by external Environmental Auditing Consultants to review the overall implementation and
effectiveness of the CEMP, related site specific plans, procedures and associated
documentation and overall standard of onsite compliance with legislative requirements.
Audit reports, action plans and any other documentation stemming from the audit
process shall be kept for a minimum of six years. The EHS Manager will be responsible
for site filing of these documents.

CHAPTER 7
OPERATIONAL PHASE EMP
7.1 OBJECTIVES OF THE OEMP
Environmental management in the operational phase will be carried out by a

hydropower plant O&M organization to be established by the Project Proponent. The
objective of environmental management of Project operation is to ensure that O&M of the
hydropower plant and its associated facilities will not create significant impacts and will
meet all applicable standards and guidelines and requirements prescribed as conditions for
issuing an Environmental Compliance Certificate and the operation permit.
The key objective of the OEMP presented in this section is to establish a clear
operational framework for environmental management during the operational phase of the
Project. The Contractors will then use this OEMP to prepare a more detailed OEMP which
will be based on the detailed designs of the hydropower plant, results of the commissioning,
and O&M details. The detailed OEMP will be reviewed and revised as appropriate by the
hydropower plant O&M team to reflect actual conditions during commercial operation.
7.2 MANAGEMENT AND MONITORING PLANS

• To reduce flood risk in the project area.
• To avoid any incremental flood impact from project activities
measures.
2) Context
The project activities during operation phase may cause potential impact to
the environment and human.
The project activities during operation phase might be affected by floods

and result in incremental impact. It is needed to reduce risk from floods by reducing hazard,
exposure and vulnerability and increasing preparation.
this plan include;
The measures in flood management plan can be grouped under 4 categories:

Mitigation to prevent risk, preparing for risk, protecting from risk and recovery and review.
• Mitigation: Mitigation activities are intended to significantly reduce or even

eliminate the risk of flooding before it occurs. Examples of common mitigation
activities:
• Conduct a vulnerability analysis by using hydrologic and hydraulic
modeling programs to estimate flood risk and present the data in an easy-to-
understand graphical format (maps indicating where flood prone areas are
located).
• Implement mitigation measures e.g. building levees / floodwalls, wetland
restoration etc.

• Preparing for flood risk: Preparedness activities are intended to achieve a sense
of readiness for the flooding emergency. There are a number of ways to get ready
and ensure preparedness:
• Develop a flood hazard mitigation plan and update it periodically.
• Conduct an emergency exercise to identify deficiencies in the flood hazard
mitigation plan and update it accordingly.
• Utilize emergency warning system; install a flood warning system for
warning to immediate upstream and downstream people and communities.
The system will be designed in cooperation with the plant operator of the
Yeywa Hydropower Plant and government authorities responsible for
monitoring water levels and meteorological data within the Lower Myitnge
River basin. The system will include the possibility to raise alarms via a
public announcement system.
• Make sure drainage structures are cleared to allow water to be intercepted
and conveyed as intended.
• Identify materials needed to respond to flood emergency e.g. pumps, sand
bags and clay for temporary levees, clean-up kits.
• Protecting from flood risk and response for flood: Measures to reduce the
likelihood of flooding affecting people and property and to respond for flood hazard
in the project area include:
• Improving the standard of protection at important location at risks of
flooding.
• Implementing individual property protection.
• Providing immediate assistance such as emergency relief and search and
rescue.
• Recovery and Review:
• Measures for recovery and review include:
• Provide help to communities in the project vicinity affected from flood
hazard.
• Carry out investigation after flooding to mark high water line and document
the maximum flooding condition. All information collected can be used to
justify the need for improving the accuracy of flood modeling.
Parameters
• Water level upstream and downstream from project site and at dam site
Location
• Myitnge river level upstream and downstream from the project area and
at dam site.

7.3.1.6 Solid Waste Management and Monitoring Plan
1) Objective
• To manage the solid waste with appropriate methods to minimize the
source of adverse effect to human health.
2) Context
Solid waste will be generated from activities associated with the Project, the
main types of solid waste Solid waste from workers are domestic waste such as garbage,
glass, and food waste, etc. The management of solid waste is very important. If not properly
controlled and disposed of, waste can be unsightly and cause human health and safety
concerns.

7.3.1.7 Dam Safety Surveillance and Monitoring Plan
1) Objective
- To detect short and long term trends on
• Settlement;
• Deformation;
• Seepage and;
• Cracks
Of Deedoke Dam for prompt response action for dam safety.
2) Concept
A brief description of this surveillance are presented below:
2.1 Settlement
Additional loads by the dam and fluctuation of the reservoir water level
may generate vertical deformation that results in settlement. The vertical deformation
(settlement) would be measured to evaluate the performance of the dam. Settlement may
occur instantaneously as elastic deformation as load is applied.
Settlement may be monitored by means of conventional survey

equipment with targets on the structure.
2.2 Deformation
Deformation includes horizontal movement, settlement mentioned

above and heave of the earth fill abutment. To monitor these changes, targets (surface
movement survey monument) may be installed in parts of the dam such as the dam crest,
downstream slope, upstream slope and gate sections. The locations of the targets will be
measured by use of conventional survey equipment.
2.3 Seepage
Seepage is the interstitial movement of water that may take place

through the dam body, and it abutment and foundation. Seepage level of a conventional
low-head dam such as the Deedoke dam would be small compared to high-head concrete
dams and/or earthfill / rockfill dams. In general, the seepage of the Deedoke dam would be
monitored by visual inspection.
2.4 Crack
Cracks are likely to occur on concrete structures but basically, they will
not affect the stability of the structures seriously. However, monitoring of major cracks
would contribute for the plant operator to understand dam behavior in light of other
instrumentation results. The cracks will be monitored through visual inspection with crack
scales and the locations of the cracks will be recorded on as-build drawings (“Crack Map”).
The Crack Map will be updated when abnormal behaviors are found during the inspection.

this plan include

4) Management Action
4.1 Instruments and Locations
Types of instruments for monitoring items mentioned in the previous

sub-sections will be determined before the filling process of the Deedoke reservoir.
4.2 Data Review
The levels of responsibility for the data review will be determined

according to the organization of operation of the Deedoke plant. Basically, the following
staff would be foreseen:
• Monitoring Staff
Reports directly to the Maintenance Manager and is responsible for

accurately reading data directly from the instrumentation, conducting routine inspections
and recording the data on the specified forms.
• Maintenance Manager
Reports to the Plant Manager and is responsible for reviewing and

ensuring the accuracy of the instrumentation data. He/she is also responsible for reporting
instrumentation data to the Engineer and Plant Manager and following an emergency action
plan, which will be established, as necessary.
• Engineer
Analyses instrumentation data to establish trends and set normal

data ranges. The Engineer will report the results of all analysis to the Plant Manager.
• Plant Manager
Responsible for following and implementing an emergency action

plan, as necessary, and storing all instrumentation data and analysis on record at the site.
4.3 Data Trends and Abnormalities
The Deedoke Dam is a conventional concrete low-head dam and will

show the steady-state soon after the construction, while earthfill/rockfill dams may require
several years after construction to reach such state.
Normal operation data trends for some instruments may require several

years to develop and the data trends are expected to vary from season to season and with
raising and lowing of the water level in the reservoir, basically during flood events.
When the instrument reading trends become normalized, the Engineer

should establish a baseline for each instrument. The Engineer will notify the Plant Manager
immediately of any abnormalities and their possible causes.
Unusual data is uncharacteristic and outside the range of previously

measured data. In the event unusual data is recorded, either the Monitoring Staff or the
Maintenance Manager should inspect the instrumentation leads to verify proper equipment
configuration. The data should then be re-record and recorded. Concurrently, the
surrounding instrumentation should be checked to determine if the data can be substantiated
by other instrumentation or other reasons. If the data is substantiated, the Engineer should
be contacted immediately. If the instrument is faulty and cannot be repaired, it should be
reported to the Engineer.
5) Monitoring Program
Periodic monitoring of all instruments shall be performed to assess

performance and safety of the structure.
Monitoring schedules for instruments vary depending on the purpose of the

instrument’s previous data obtained and any special circumstances that have been
discovered.
Monitoring schedules are subject to change by the Engineer based on site

conditions. A schedule for monitoring the various instruments as well as routine
visual inspection will be determined before starting the filling process of the
reservoir.
6.1 Steady State Conditions
Steady state or “normal” conditions in the dam may require a year or

more to develop after the construction. Movements will take longer to reach
periodic behavior on an annual or monthly basis. The comparisons among historical
data will be used to determine if anomalous reading are occurring. Defining
anomalous values for every instrument will be difficult task just after construction
until steady state conditions developed. Until these conditions develop, the
Engineer and Monitoring Staff will work in concert to determine if anomalous
readings are occurring and to evaluate the importance of those occurrences.

Figure 17: Movements of Dashidaira Dam and Periodic Behavior that is the Baseline
6.2 Post Earthquake Monitoring
The stability of the dam must be monitored following the occurrence of

certain major events such as earthquakes and floods. Instrumentation measurements should
be obtained and visual inspections conducted following a significant earthquake (the
threshold will be determined later or accord to international standards or practices).
A post-earthquake response should be implemented if the dam is

impacted by an earthquake resulting in ground motion at the site. This include:
• Conducting a visual inspection of the dam and appurtenances;

• Obtaining instrument readings. If elevated readings are noted,
performing a thorough visual inspection and daily monitoring until stable conditions are
obtained;
•
Noting any deformations and obtaining settlement and surface
monument readings and;
• Evaluating all data and if necessary conducting a thorough visual
inspection of the dam and appurtenances by selecting team members.
6.3 Post Flood Monitoring
The occurrence of a large flood that results in some serious events

should initiate the acquisition of instrument data. It is, however, noted that flood events are

not critical events for the facility designs of the Deedoke plant and that the frequency of an
emergency acquisition of instrument data should be set up appropriately. During such large
flood events, the hydraulic conditions of the spillway should be observed during the period
along with visual inspection of the dam. Thorough inspections of the dam and
appurtenances should be performed following the floods. Monitoring and Surveillance will
consist of:
•
close visual inspection of the conditions of the dam, abutments and
appurtenance equipment and;
• measurement and assessment of instrument data.
6.4 Visual Inspection
The visual inspection of the dam, spillway, reservoir area and

downstream in the vicinity of the dam shall be conducted in a systematic manner to
minimize the possibility of any significant feature being overlooked. The visual inspection
checklist will be provided and it should be used as a guide to document the examination of
each significant hydraulic and structural feature, including electrical and mechanical
equipment for operation of the spillway.
Particular attention shall be given to detecting evidence of leakage,

erosion, seepage, slope instability, serious settlement and displacement, large cracks and
deterioration. Photographs and drawings should be used to record conditions in order to
minimize written descriptions.
The schematic table of the visual inspection is provided in Table 22 and

the specific items and frequencies will be determined before starting the filling process of
the reservoir taking into account the detailed design and real site conditions encountered
during construction.

3. Reservoir
The features of some areas in the reservoir should be examined to
what extent the water impounded by the dam might cause a risk to
the safety of the dam or to human life or property.
4. Downstream Environment
The immediate downstream of the dam should be examined for
conditions that might impose any constraints on the operation of
the dam or present any hazard to the safety of the dam.
6.5 Threshold and Response Levels
Expected performance of the dam through visual inspections and by

recorded instrumentation trends will be established for operation. In general, threshold
levels of the dam performance would be established for three levels of abnormal dam
performance. These threshold levels, defined, for example, Levels A, B and C, represents
increasing levels of concern with regard to integrity of the dam. The expected normal
behaviors for operation as well as the three abnormal threshold levels would be defined as
a schematic threshold and monitoring matrix (refer to Table 23).
With threshold levels established, response levels and courses of action

are presented for various combination of severity of instrument reading and visual
appearance of the dam. A schematic responses and action matrix for various conditions are
presented in Table 24. The courses of action presented in the table are intended to be used
as guidance for the operator of the Deedoke plant. Actual response to changing visual
conditions and instrumentation levels should be based on engineering judgment gathered
from first-hand knowledge and information at the time of the event.
Throughout the project operation period.

General
Appropriate emergency preparedness and response plans must be
developed to ensure the effective management and mitigation of emergency incidents.
Procedures must be developed based on the appropriate classification of the possible
incidents. The following aspects of emergency preparedness and response must be
addressed:
• The identification of the emergency scenarios and the development
of appropriate and specific emergency response procedures for each scenario.
• The training of emergency response teams on the appropriate
procedures and the use of emergency response equipment.
• The identification of local stakeholders and communities and of
efficient ways to communicate with them in case of emergency
• In conducting training and drills, local stakeholders and
communities should be fully involved, to help them prepare for each potential emergency
scenario.
• The identification of emergency contacts and support services and
the development of effective communication systems / protocols.
• As part of the development of emergency preparedness and response
plans, involve the appropriate government authorities to determine procedures for
engagement, communication and reporting (emergency, health, environmental authorities).
• Emergency equipment and facilities must be provided (e.g., first aid

stations, firefighting equipment, spill response equipment, personal protection equipment,

vehicles for the evacuation of injured personnel).
• Development of decontamination / clean-up procedures and identify
critical remedial measures to contain, limit and reduce pollution caused by the release of
hazardous materials.
• The identification of potential risk relating the uncontrolled release
of hazardous materials and the preparation of a spill prevention, control, and response plans
including:
o Training of operators on spill prevention.
o Implementation of inspection programmes to confirm the integrity
of secondary containment structures and equipment.
o Development of standard operating procedures for filling containers
or equipment and the transfer of hazardous materials.
o Identification of locations of hazardous materials and associated
activities on an emergency plan site map.
o Identification and availability of the appropriate personal protective
equipment and equipment.
o Clarification of roles and responsibilities of individuals or groups as
well as the decision process for assessing severity of the release and
determining appropriate actions.
Emergency Contingency Plan

The Six Basic Elements of an Emergency Action Plan (EAP): The
EAP to be prepared by the Owner consists of six basic elements. The requirements
of these elements are:
1. Notification Flowchart. A notification flowchart for each
emergency classification must show who is to be notified, by whom, and in what priority.
The information on the notification flowchart is necessary for the timely notification of
persons responsible for taking emergency actions.
2. Emergency Detection, Evaluation, and Classification. Early
detection and evaluation of the situation(s) or triggering event(s) that initiate or require an
emergency action are crucial. The establishment of procedures for reliable and timely
classification of an emergency situation is imperative to ensure that the appropriate course
of action is taken based on the urgency of the situation. It is better to activate the EAP while
confirming the extent of the emergency than to wait for the emergency to occur. Close
coordination with Yeywa dam operators during extreme events is paramount.
3. Responsibilities. A determination of responsibility for EAP-related
tasks must be made during the development of the plan. The Deedoke dam owner is
responsible for developing, maintaining, and implementing the EAP. Local emergency
management officials having statutory obligation shall be responsible for warning and
evacuation within affected areas. The EAP must clearly specify the dam owner’s
responsibilities to ensure effective, timely action is taken should an emergency occur at the
dam. The EAP must be site-specific; an extreme hydrological event from upstream Yeywa
dam may severely impact Deedoke dam and other facilities.
4. Preparedness. Preparedness actions are taken to moderate or
alleviate the effects of a dam failure or operational spillway release and to facilitate
response to emergencies. This section identifies actions to be taken before any emergency.
5. Inundation Maps. An inundation map should delineate the areas
that would be flooded as a result of a dam/spillway gate failure. Inundation maps are used

both by the dam owner and emergency management officials to facilitate timely
notification and evacuation of areas affected by a dam failure or flood condition. These
maps greatly facilitate notification by graphically displaying flooded areas and showing
travel times for wave front and flood peaks at critical locations.
6. Appendices. The appendices contain information that supports and
supplements the material used in the development and maintenance of the EAP.
Coordination
It is vital that development of the EAP be coordinated with all entities,
jurisdictions, and agencies that would be affected by a serious accident or emergency
situation. The finished product should be user friendly as it realistically takes into account
each organization's capabilities and responsibilities.
Coordination with local emergency management officials at appropriate
levels of management is essential to ensure that there is agreement on their individual and
group responsibilities. Participation in the preparation of the EAP will enhance their
confidence in the EAP and in the accuracy of its components. Coordination will provide
opportunities for discussion and determination of the order in which public officials would
be notified, backup personnel, alternate means of communication, and special procedures
for nighttime, holidays, and weekends.
The tasks and responsibilities of the dam owner and the emergency
management officials that would be implemented during an incident need to be as
compatible as possible.
To facilitate compatibility, the dam owner should coordinate emergency
response actions with the local emergency management officials. This should help prevent
over- or under-reaction to the incident by various organizations.
Warning
Planning and implementation of warning system to the population of
hazardous materials release into the river or vegetation/forest fire are the responsibility of
the local officials who are responsible for the safety of the public who live in areas that
would be impacted. The Deedoke dam owner should not usurp the responsibility of the
local authorities responsible for the warning. However, there are recreational facilities,
campgrounds, or residences that are located downstream of Deedoke dam where local
authorities may not be able to issue a timely warning. In such cases, the Deedoke dam
owner should coordinate with local emergency management officials to determine who will
warn these people and in what priority.
Emergency Duration, Security, Termination, and Follow-up

The EAP needs to address who in the dam owner's organization will issue
status reports during the emergency, when and how a declared emergency will be
terminated, what security provisions shall be maintained at the incident site, and plans for
a follow-up evaluation and report.
• Emergency Duration. Emergency situations that occur at the
incident site will require that status reports and situation assessments be provided by the
dam owner to appropriate organizations throughout the duration of the incident.

• Security Provisions. An EAP should consider security provisions at

and surrounding the incident site during emergency conditions to protect the workforce and
the public, and permit effective performance of emergency response actions.
• Emergency Termination. There are two conditions requiring a
termination of the emergency. One has to do with emergency conditions at the incident site
and the other is related to the disaster response in the case of serious hazardous material
spill or fire. The dam owner is usually responsible for making the decision that an
emergency condition no longer exists at the incidence site. The EAP should clearly
designate the responsible party. The dam owner and local officials should agree on when it
is appropriate to terminate an emergency. The dam owner should cooperate with state and
local officials to determine if a news release which can be used by the media for broadcast
to the general public notifying them of termination of the emergency condition is
appropriate. Such news releases are expected to be a supplement to other methods of
notifying the public that the emergency has been terminated.
• Follow-up Evaluation. Following an emergency, an evaluation and

review should be conducted that includes all participants. The following should be
discussed and evaluated in the after-action review:
o Events before, during, and following the emergency
o Significant actions taken by each participant, and improvements
practicable for future emergencies
o All strengths and deficiencies found in procedures, materials,
equipment, staffing levels, and leadership
The results of the after-action review should be documented in an
evaluation report chaired by the dam owner and used as a basis for revising the EAP.
Maintaining an EAP
After the EAP has been developed, approved, and distributed, periodic
maintenance must be done to it so that it will not become outdated, lose its effectiveness,
and no longer be workable. The plan must be exercised (verified), by those involved in its
implementation so that they are familiar with their roles and responsibilities, particularly if
emergency response personnel change. The plan must be updated at regular intervals so
that the information contained in it does not become outdated and useless.
Exercising. Emergency incidents at construction sites are common events. Therefore,
training and exercises are necessary to maintain operational readiness, timeliness, and
responsiveness.
Preparedness
Preparedness actions should include among others:
• Surveillance and Operation Instructions
• Response at night and during weekends or holidays
• Phone numbers and addresses directory
• Response during periods of darkness or adverse weather
• Alternative systems of communication
• Preventive & Mitigation Actions Instruction

Continuously as described in EAP during emergency situation

the operation phase.
this plan include:



(a) Promote agricultural product with in home lot:
For villagers in the construction site and upstream area who lose their
farmland, production within home lot is one of mitigation to bring them food stuff and the
surplus can be sold for addition income as well.
Examples of home lot production are mushroom cultivation, growing

kitchen garden and green edible fence. Activities to promote home lot productions are;

• Training
Develop commercially successful and sustainable Animal Husbandry by:

(c) Fishery
• Provision of training on aquaculture or fish pond raising, cage culture.

• Set new equilibrium on newly river pondage area, introducing of
fish into river pondage area. Recommended species for release should be replication of
herbivorous species, omnivorous species and carnivorous species. The recommended for
herbivorous species are such as Rohu and allied (Labeo spp), Cirrhinus mrigala for
example. The omnivorous species are such as silver barb (Barbonymus gonionotus), the
Sweetlips minnow (Osteochilus hasselti) and walking catfish (Clarias batrachus). The
carnivorous species are such as snakehead (Channa spp.), Wallago attu, Ompok spp. and
Bagrids catfish (Mystus spp.)

• For increasing the chance and efficiency for villagers to work in this
project, preparing villagers to have skill and experience to work is needed. Sample of
occupation that villagers can occupy are construction worker, carpenter, gardener, guard, light
machine repair, trader, driver, food cooking, etc. Activities to prepare PAPs for off-farm
occupation are:
• Woman training for supplementary income. Activities to prepare are;

7.5 ENVIRONMENTAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Environmental risk management is to be carried out as part of the power plant

risk management. Section 5. 3 on environmental risk assessment identifies and assesses
environmental risks during the operational phase. Each major environmental risk will be
documented in an Environmental Risk Register (ERR). The ERR is to be maintained and
regularly updated and reassessed to allow all significant aspects to be identified. The Risk
Register will allow the EHS Manager to monitor risk factors, update the risk assessment,
and make changes to the risk mitigation measures and controls accordingly to ensure
efficient environmental risk management. It should be noted that an emergency plan is
essentially a risk mitigation measure.
7.6 AUDIT
External EHS audits will be undertaken every three years. These audits will be
undertaken by external Environmental Auditing Consultants to review the overall
implementation and effectiveness of the OEMP, related site specific plans, procedures and
associated documentation and overall standard of onsite compliance with legislative
requirements.
Audit reports, action plans and any other documentation stemming from the audit
process shall be kept for a minimum of six years to demonstrate ongoing OSH monitoring
and improvement. The EHS Manager will be responsible for site filing of these documents.

8.2 SCHEDULE
The schedule for implementing the CEMP and OEMP will be linked to the
project schedule. After the Contractor completes the detailed designs and detailed
construction plan and schedule, the Contractor should prepare a detailed CEMP within one
month.
The Project Proponent should prepare a detailed OEMP within two weeks after
commissioning of the hydropower plant and its associated facilities.

APPENDIX 3A
OUTLINE OF CONTRACTOR’S ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN8
(for guidance only)
1. INTRODUCTION
The introduction of the Contractor’s EMP should include:
• a brief description of the project and the contract
• the contractor’s environmental objectives
• an explanation of the role of the Contractor’s EMP and how it will be used
during construction to achieve the project’s environmental and social (ES)
objectives.
2. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The contractor shall provide details of the ES management system (ESMS) to
apply during the contract.
The basic elements of the contractor’s ESMS to be detailed are likely to include:
2.1 Contractor’s ES policy
Include a copy of the policy document and an explanation of how the policy will
apply to the project.
2.2 Project organisation chart
An organisational chart showing the reporting/responsibility relationships,
position titles and personnel, including subcontractors, should be included. The personnel
with specific site ES management responsibility should be highlighted.
2.3 Training, awareness and competence
Describe how the organisation training policy will apply to this contract to ensure
that all employees and subcontractors are aware of and adequately trained to discharge their
environmental responsibilities. A specific site briefing prior to commencement of works
shall occur.
2.4 ESMS documentation
Provide documented details of the system, if available, including any manuals,
standard report sheets, checklists, etc.
2.5 Document control
Describe the document control system to apply to the contract.

Modified from Appendix A, Contractor’s Environmental Management Plan Guidelines for Construction-
Road, Rail and Marine Facilities, Government of South Australia Government, Revision 2 February 2009

2.6 Checking and corrective action

Describe the procedures to apply to inspection, monitoring and auditing
including non-conformance and corrective action.
Procedures applicable for these basic elements should be documented. Existing
quality assurance procedures may already respond to issues such as document control and
corrective action.
3. CONTRACTOR’S EMP SCHEDULE

Schedules may be presented under two categories, namely:
• specific response to the Project EMP
• best practice response.
Best practice responses should be detailed, particularly when a project-specific
Project EMP is not developed.
Plans can either be issue based or activity based. The Project ESMP is issue based
with headings such as construction wastes, labor and working condition, and fugitive dust.
An activity based plan would be likely to have headings such as vegetation
clearance, excavation, topsoil removal, demolition, dredging and drainage works, etc.
The contractor shall include an inspection, monitoring and audit plan based on
the Contractor’s EMP Schedules. These are essential in order to establish if the contractor’s
performance has achieved the project objectives. The Contractor’s EMP must be relevant
to the site activities and effectively implemented and managed. Inspections, monitoring and
auditing will provide the basis to implement corrective action and to ensure the
environmental outcomes are achieved. Resultant action may involve upgrading the
Contractor’s EMP, changing procedures, training staff or providing additional or repositioning
controls.
