I. INTRODUCTION
1. This environmental management plan (EMP) sets out the environmental management
requirements for the Siem Reap Replacement Interceptor Sewer Subproject of the Provincial
Water Supply and Sanitation Project (PWSSP) during the pre-construction, construction and
operation phase in line with the requirements of the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) and
the ADB Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS, 2009).
2. An initial environmental evaluation (IEE) covering wastewater subprojects, including the
Siem Reap subproject was disclosed on ADB website during project preparation in June 2017.
Siem Reap subproject was awarded as a Design and Build Contract. An outline EMP, based on
the IEE was developed in August 2018 and included as part of the bid invitation document and
contract of the construction contractor. The contractor further submitted its EMP during
construction (CEMP) in April 2019, which was finalized and approved on the 6th of June 2019.
3. The updated EMP based on detailed engineering design (DED) should have been cleared
by ADB prior to civil works commencing. This June 2019 updated version of the EMP takes into
account the detailed engineering design completed by the contractor in February 2019 and
approved in early April 2019, the CEMP and public consultations that took place in May 2019 for
additional screening of potential impacts prior to the start of construction and has been prepared
to bring the project back into compliance. The updated EMP includes detailed information on
design, sensitive receptors, impacts and mitigation in lieu of a separate update to IEE prepared
for wastewater subprojects.
4. The existing 3.7 km long pipeline was designed and installed to collect wastewater from
the center of Siem Reap over an area of 2.4 km2. This pipeline is made of glass fiber reinforced
plastic (GRP) sewage drainage pipes with diameters of 600 mm and 700 mm. The pipeline has
failed and collapsed at five locations between 2011 and 2014 and at two more locations since.
Based on the recent geotechnical investigations and test pit excavations, the cause of failure is
highly likely to be a combination inadequate compaction during backfilling of the trench and poor
quality pipes leading to frequent cyclic loads on the pipes which eventually resulted in material
fatigue and collapse. At present, the pipeline is not functioning, preventing wastewater in a central
part of the town from reaching the pump station and ultimately the wastewater treatment plant.
5. From an environmental perspective, the periodic settling or collapsing of the road is a
traffic hazard and so a public safety risk. The blocked sewage pipeline overflows to the adjacent
irrigation canal at selected locations which too is a public health risk as well as environmental
degradation even though the water quality in the canal is already very poor.
6. The purpose of the Siem Reap subproject is to replace the existing interceptor sewer with
a stronger pipeline and thereby not only enable it to function again but also improve the urban
environment though reduction of the above mentioned hazards. The project area includes Sivatha
Road from the intersection with National Highway 6 to the Y-junction and roundabout near
Pokambor Avenue then along the narrow BBU Road to the main pump station (see Project locality
map in). The road goes through the city’s bustling street (Central Market, Old Market), intersects
the town center drainage channel and drains on both sides. The existing pipeline will be replaced
by DN1000 (external diameter 1173 mm) ductile cast iron pipes using trenchless technology to
minimize disruptions to traffic and pedestrians through the bustling city center.

A. SUBPROJECT COMPONENTS
7. The depth of the existing pipeline ranges from 3.5 m (to pipe invert) at the upstream end
to 7.5 m at the pump station. The new pipeline will be similar as it will connect into the upstream
and downstream manholes. In addition, 37 manholes will be installed along the new pipeline to
allow each of the existing manholes to be cross-connected to the new pipeline. At loan preparation
it was envisaged that trenchless technology will be used to lay the new pipeline to avoid lengthy
road openings and sheet piling. However the actual technology was left to the bidders with a
choice of either micro-tunneling and pipe jacking or pipe splitting and bursting. The two techniques
are illustrated in Figure 2 and Figure 3 respectively.
8. The eventual contractor elected to use micro-tunneling method to ensure that the existing
pipe could be operational at all times and also due to the uncertainty about the condition of the
existing pipe.
9. Main works under the subproject broadly include (i) excavation of working jacking and
receiving pits sufficiently large to enable the boring and jacking machines to be lowered and
retrieved, (ii) pipeline construction using jacking, (iii) construct of new manholes for access and
maintenance, cross-connection to the existing manholes, and (iv) resealing of the road. Details of
the scope of the main work tasks are presented in Table 1.

10. Construction method: Detailed methodology for the execution of the tasks is presented
below:
Overall Construction Process

Site preparation → Field investigations → Working pit construction → Pipe jacking
→ Access manhole construction → Backfilling and pavement restoration
• Construction methodology for excavation of the working pits
- Procedure of excavation: break the road surface – manual excavation of 1.5 m
top layer, installation of steel sheet piles and upper ring beam to hold the sheet
piles in place – mechanical excavation for the lower soil, installation of steel
sheet piles and other ring beams at 2 m to 2.5 m spacing (with depth) – manual
cleaning and leveling of the bottom 150 mm of the pit.
- Working pit bottom slab construction: Working pit bottom slab is constructed
with 200 mm-thick C20 concrete, with double layer of 12 mm reinforcement
bars arranged in both directions. Open-cut perimeter drainage ditches and
sump pit for drainage and pump out.
- Excavated materials will be removed to the sedimentation tank placed near the
shaft for re-use as backfilling or transport to dump site.
- Based on the geotechnical survey report the groundwater levels in the project
area are relatively shallow. Therefore, dewatering measures will need to be
taken before any earthwork excavation. The pumped out water will be
discharged to the nearby irrigation canal.
• Construction methodology for pipe jacking
- Acceptance of working pit
- Construction of thrust backing wall in jacking pit
- Inspection and acceptance of pipe jacking equipment
- Installation of pipe jacking equipment
- Survey control and deviation rectification
- Jacking of first pipe segment
- Inspection and checking of pipe jacking equipment
- cleaning out of debris from the pipe
- Inspection and acceptance of pipe jacking equipment
- Lowering and aligning of the next pipe segment and jointing of the previous
and current pipe segments
- Routine jacking of the pipes

- Reclaiming excavated material

- Repeating the above steps for each segment until receiving manhole is
reached
- Pipeline run-through to check joints and signs of cracking
- Cast-in-place new concrete access manhole
- Backfilling in compacted layers, removing the sheet piles as the pit is filled
- Completion acceptance
• Construction methodology of new access manhole
- After the pipe construction is completed, implement construction of the cast-in-
situ concrete access manhole in the working pit;
- Construction on site of the reinforcement mash to the requirements of the
design and specifications.
- Formwork construction of inspection pit: the formwork shall use custom made
steel formwork and be ordered from manufacturer. In concrete vibrating, the
formwork seams shall achieve the requirement of no mortar leakage. Sponge
bars shall be added at formwork seams aligned with the inner formwork face.
- Concrete works: the concrete shall use commercial concrete, be transported
with concrete tank truck, and poured into the framework with bucket hoisted.
Prior to pouring, check the support, formwork, steel bar and embedded parts;
clean up sundries in formwork, water accumulation and dirt on steel bar; if the
formwork has any seam, fill tightly; the inner face of formwork shall be painted
with releasing agent.
• Construction methodology of resealing road
- Determine the optimum moisture content and optimum dry density of soil
based on the backfilling soil texture;
- The pavement shall be compacted with 12 tonne roller;
- After the roadbed rolling accepted, construct a surface layer of bituminous
pavement;
- After construction of asphalt surface completed, resume the guide labels and
lines of the original pavement.

- Location: Borey Perfect, 7 Road 66, No.3, Taphul Village, Sangkat Svay Dangkum,
Siem Reap City
- Capacity/size: 30 persons
• Pre-cast Site: The pump station at the downstream ending point will be used as the
temporary site for the production of pre-cast components
• Material Storage Areas:
- The construction materials: are stored at the wastewater treatment plant compound
(an area of about 1,500 m2 has been set aside) with only what is being used being
stored temporarily at the working pit enclosure during construction. As the excavation
and pipe laying moves to the upstream end (along Sivatha Road), temporary storage
along the river bank will be permitted by the PIU.

- The plant and equipment are generally stored at site on Country Road Wat Chowk
about 900 m west of the pump station. The site area is around 2,000 m2.
• Disposal Areas: The disposal of excavated material and area will be used for filling in
with waste material, spoils from the construction process. Some of the excavated material
is given to nearby villagers who request it for general site fill on their properties and it is
also being used for road improvement at the request of village heads. A small amount of
excavated material may also stockpiled temporarily at the same site as the plant and
equipment.

35. The stakeholder consultation strategy was developed as part of the IEE submitted in June
2017. Consultations took place at PPTA stage (June 2017) and conceptual design stage
(September 2018) as well as at the detailed engineering design stage (May 2019) and since
Construction started (June 2019).
Consultation during subproject design
36. Consultation began early in the project preparation stage with visits to the subproject sites
and discussions with the provincial officers relating to the consultants who prepared the pre-
engineering designs. Consultations were organized to occur in an atmosphere free of intimidation
or coercion, was gender inclusive and enabled the incorporation of all relevant views into the
project design and arrangements for implementation. The consultation involved Ministry of Public

Works and Transport (MPWT) and their provincial agencies and utility operators, and local
municipal and sangkat/commune officials and village representatives.
37. Transparent consultation processes were also adopted for public village meetings during
the socio-economic surveys (SES) and focus group discussions (FGDs) and during subsequent
public meetings to explain the pre-engineering designs and for disclosure of land acquisition and
resettlement and the likely environmental and social impacts. The environmental considerations
have therefore been identified with the provincial authorities, the commune/sangkat authorities
and their communities. The information made available includes the specific activities, schedules,
anticipated environment and social impacts and mitigation measures and monitoring processes.
Comment received during the village meetings and the other discussions with respect to
environmental concerns have been incorporated into the mitigation measures proposed for
detailed design and implementation. All persons met have been informed about the subproject in
general and the environmental aspects in particular. House to house consultants with the local
residents and interviews with Sangkat Councils and relevant provincial department were held
during field visits in September 2018 by the Study Team together with the MPWT and DPWT
representatives.
38. For the Siem Reap subproject, at preliminary design stage, the main concerns expressed
in the socio-economic surveys (during which interviewed 253 people, including 150 men and 103
women) related to disruption to business and livelihood, traffic congestion and disruption to
property access as follows: (i) road access (6%); (ii) affected business (20%); (iii) problems with
traffic (12%); (iv) difficulty in accessing road (8%); (v) difficulties in managing business (3%); and,
(vi) difficulty in moving back and forth.
Follow up consultations (Design-Build stage)
39. The Environmental Safeguard Specialist and the Social Safeguards and Resettlement
Specialist conducted another round of consultations in May 2019. These included (1) house to
house consult with residents of the project area, (2) face to face interviews with chief of sangkat,
sankat councils and chief of village, (3) public consultation meeting with Sangkat, chief of all
village (Svay Dangkum Sangkat), relevant provincial department and AHs.
40. The primary concern of the public of the subproject in Siem Reap that were highlighted
during the third round of consultation (May 2019) related to traffic jam, business disruption, noise
and public assets disturbances (i.e. electric lines, water supply pipes, telecommunication line
etc..).these will be carefully considered and any complaints handled during construction. .
41. Consultations will continue to take place throughout construction, and operation of
completed subproject components in Siem Reap and any concern will be reported upon in the
environmental and social safeguards monitoring reports (monthly, quarterly, semi-annual).
42. The detailed engineering design of the sewage system was completed in February 2019
and was followed in May 2019 by a third round of public consultation (including information
meetings, discussion with relevant departments and local authorities, house-to-house
consultation with residents living along both sides of the alignment areas etc.). The main concerns
that were raised related to traffic jam, business disruption, noise and public assets disturbances
(i.e. electric lines, water supply pipes, telecommunication line etc.).

C. GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM
43. The GRM comprises: (i) a set of clear procedures for the project to receive, record, and
address any concerns which are raised; (ii) specific contact details for individuals at the commune
chief, PMUs, PIUs or contractors. The objective the Grievance Redress Mechanism is to resolve
complaints as quickly as possible and at the local level through a process of conciliation; and, if
that is not possible, to provide clear and transparent procedures for appeal. This section presents
the information and arrangement appeal procedures regarding eligibility and entitlements.
44. Grievance redress mechanism addresses both informally and formally raised grievances.
Informally, an AP can approach the Contractor (during construction) or the Operator (during
operation) directly to lodge complaint either by him/herself or with assistance from a third party of
his/her choice.
45. A Provincial grievance redress committee (PGRC) is established for the Siem Reap
province and in charge of any GRM for the subproject. The committee’s contact details are
included in Table 8. The PGRC has the power, at the administrative level, to make binding
decisions on the resolution of eligible complaints. Details of the GRC are included in the Project
Information Booklets (PIBs) and distributed to affected communities during the consultations. The
GRM guidelines, including procedures and forms in Khmer language are distributed as an
attachment to the PIB. The PGRC comprises the members presented in the following table.

46. The graph in Figure 4 explains the flow from AP lodging of a complaint and the different
steps depending on the response given by competent authorities/institutions.

Figure 4: GRM Flow Chart
47. The grievances will be handled thorough a 4 Step formal approach detailed below.
First Step (Village or Commune Level): APs/ AHs can present their complaints or
grievances verbally or in writing to the Village or Commune Chief or Contractor and project
directly. The Village or Commune Chief will be obliged to provide immediate written
confirmation of receiving the complaint and also to advise project. If after 15 days the
aggrieved APs do not hear from the Village or Commune Chief, or if they are not satisfied
with the decision taken by the first stage, they may bring the complaint to the District Office.
Second Step (District Level): The District office has 15 days within which to resolve the
complaint to the satisfaction of all concerned. If the complaints cannot be solved in this
stage, the district office will bring the case to the Provincial Grievance Redress Committee.
Third Step (Provincial Level): The Provincial Grievance Redress Committee meets with
the aggrieved party and tries to resolve the complaint. Within 30 days of the submission

of the grievance, the Committee must make a written decision and submit a copy of the
same to the project, and the AH.
Fourth step (Court of Law): If the complainant does not hear from the PGRC or is not
satisfied, he/she can bring the case to Provincial Court. The Court will make a written
decision and submit copies to the executing agency. If any party is still unsatisfied with the
Provincial Court judgment, he/she can bring the case to a higher-level court. However,
MPWT where is the project located are responsible for participating/witnessing in all steps.
48. At any time, an AP may contact ADB (Southeast Asia Department) directly, including the
ADB Cambodia Resident Mission.
49. If the above steps are unsuccessful, persons who are, or may in the future be, adversely
affected by the project may submit complaints to ADB’s Accountability Mechanism2. The
Accountability Mechanism provides an independent forum and process whereby people
adversely affected by ADB-assisted projects can voice, and seek a resolution of their problems,
as well as report alleged violations of ADB operational policies and procedures. The
Accountability Mechanism is a last resort mechanism. Project-affected persons are encouraged
to first address the issue with available grievance mechanisms at the project level, and they are
required to make good faith efforts to address the issue with the relevant ADB operations
department prior to submitting complaints to the Accountability Mechanism.
50. In addition, the grievance redress mechanism dealing with the environmental impacts
during construction will also be established with grievance logs maintained at the contractor’s
office and records kept on the grievances received per type and their status. The information
about both mechanisms will be circulated during various consultation events throughout the
project cycle, including those that will be conducted during the detailed design stage.

V. MONITORING PLAN
A. MONITORING ACTIVITIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
52. Environmental monitoring activities of the civil work include: (1) monitoring the EMP
compliance, and (2) monitoring of environmental impacts caused by the Sub-project activities.
Environmental impact monitoring will be implemented with major concentration on the
construction phase.
(i) Environmental Performance Monitoring is conducted to evaluate compliance with
standard operating procedures, national standards on environment and technical
specifications. The main purpose of environmental performance monitoring is to
ensure that all proposed mitigation measure will be applied by the contractors
during the construction time.
(ii) Environmental impact monitoring is conducted to evaluate the impacts by the sub-
project activities on ambient environmental quality.
53. Responsibilities and budget for environmental impact monitoring during the construction
and operation phases are identified as follows.
▪ Construction phase
- All mitigation measures that belong to the contractor's responsibilities shall be
implemented by the Contractor. The costs are included in the civil contract between
construction contractor and PMU.
- The contractor shall bear the costs for environmental monitoring required to document
compliance with environmental standards during the construction phase, including
sample taking and analysis, and preparing reports.
▪ Operation phase
- During the operation and maintenance phase, the works operation and management unit
will provide budget for implementing mitigation measures, capacity strengthening
training, and staff salary.
54. The environmental monitoring plan for the EMP is provided in the Table 11 below. The
purpose of the monitoring plan is to determine the effectiveness of the impact mitigations, and to
document any unexpected positive or negative environmental impacts of the subproject. The
monitoring plan focuses on the construction and post construction operation of the subproject
components, and consists of environmental indicators, the sampling locations & frequency,
method of data collection, and responsible parties, and estimated costs are tabled separately.
The first response to any complaint or issue will be enforcement of management and mitigation
measures. If an issue persists monitoring by the Ministry of Environment will be commissioned by
the PIAC at the expense of the contractor.

B. REPORTING
55. Regular reporting on the implementation of mitigation measures and on monitoring

activities during construction phase of the subproject is required. Reporting is the responsibility of
PMU and should be conducted in conjunction with the regular meetings with stakeholders as part
of the stakeholder communication strategy. The mitigation and monitoring plans (Table 9 and
Table 10) summarize proposed timing of reporting. Environmental monitoring reports will be
prepared quarterly for the EA by the PMU/PIUs and sent to the MOE and ADB. The reports will
table all indicators measured with the monitoring plan of EMP including performance monitoring
indicators (see Table 11) and will include relevant RGC environmental quality standards.
56. In case, the water quality or air quality are polluted in the project area and it can be
attributed to the project, the Contractor should in the first instance enforce prescribed mitigation
measures and in the second instance collaborate with MOE Laboratory to conduct analyses of
required parameters.

VI. BUDGET FOR EMP IMPLEMENTATION
57. Supervision of EMP Implementation by PIAC: The cost for PIAC to supervise EMP
implementation in accordance with the EMP and the project bidding and contractual documents
is integrated in the contract package with the PIAC.
58. Implementation of EMP by Contractor: The cost for organization, training,
dissemination, procurement, operation of equipment, and labor for implementation of mitigation
measures in and out of the site in accordance with the EMP and project bidding and contractual
document requirements is integrated in the construction package.
59. Environmental protection and monitoring of compliance with the Environmental
management Plan (EMP) for the proposed works including the preparation, approval and
application of Contractor’s Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) is $77,300 as part of the
Contractor’s contract4. Any required control monitoring by the Ministry of Environment to
document compliance with Environmental Standards in case of complaints, will be commissioned
by the PIAC at the expense of the Contractor.
VII. EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN
60. The Contractor must develop emergency or incident response procedures during
construction. In the operational phase the operator/civil authorities will have responsibility for any
emergencies or serious incidents. The construction phase should ensure:
(i) Emergency Response Team (ERT) of the Contractor as initial responder;
(ii) The Town fire and police departments, emergency medical service, the Department of
Public Health (DPH), collectively referred to as the External Emergency Response Team
(EERT), as ultimate responders.
61. The Contractor will provide and sustain the required technical, human and financial
resources for quick response during construction. The roles and responsibilities for emergency
incident repose are presented in
62. Table 12.
63. The ERT will be led by the senior Contractor engineer (designated ERTL) on site with a
suitably trained foreman or junior engineer as deputy. Trained first-aiders and security crew will
be the core members of the ERT. The Contractor will ensure that ERT members are physically,
technically and psychologically fit for their emergency response roles and responsibilities.

iv. Names and contact details of the ERT members.
65. The objective of this meeting is to provide the ultimate response institutions the context
for:
i) Their comments on the adequacy of the respective Emergency Management Plans
ii) Their own assessment of what types, likely magnitude and likely incidence rate of
potential hazards are anticipated
iii) The arrangements for coordination and collaboration.
66. To ensure effective emergency response, prior to mobilization of civil works, the
Contractor will:
i) set up the ERT;
ii) Set up all support equipment and facilities in working condition
iii) Made arrangements with the EERT;
iv) Conduct proper training of ERT members, and encouraged and trained volunteers
from the work force;
v) Conducted orientation to all construction workers on the emergency response
procedures and facilities, particularly evacuation procedures, evacuation routes,
evacuation assembly points, and self-first response, among others; and
vi) conducted drills for different possible situations.
67. To sustain effective emergency response throughout Subproject implementation an

adequate budget shall be provided to sustain the capabilities and efficiency of the emergency

response mechanism, the emergency response equipment, tools, facilities and supplies. Drills
and reminders will take place regularly, the former at least every two months and the latter at least
every month.
A. ALERT PROCEDURES
68. Means of communicating, reporting and alerting an emergency situation may be any
combination of the following: i) audible alarm (siren, bell or gong); ii) visual alarm (blinking/rotating
red light or orange safety flag); iii) telephone (landline); iv) mobile phone; v) two-way radio; and
vi) public address system/loud speakers. Some rules relative to communicating/alerting will be:
(i) Whoever detects an emergency situation first shall immediately:
• call the attention of other people in the emergency site,
• sound the nearest alarm and/or
• Report/communicate the emergency situation to the ERT.
(ii) Only the ERTL and, if ERTL is not available, the Deputy ERTL are authorized to
communicate with the EERT. Exceptional cases to this rule may be necessary and
should be defined in the Emergency Management Plans.
(iii) When communicating/alerting an emergency to the EERT, it is important to provide
them with at least: i) the type of emergency situation; ii) correct location of the
emergency; ii) estimated magnitude of the situation; iii) estimated persons harmed;
iv) time it happened; v) in case of a spill, which hazardous substance spilled; and
vi) in case of fire and explosion, what caused it. Such details would allow the EERT
to prepare for the appropriate response actions.
69. For an effective reporting/alerting of an emergency situation:

(i) The names and contact details of the relevant persons and institutions should be readily
available in, or near to, all forms of communication equipment, and strategically posted
(at legible size) in all Subproject sites and vehicles:
- Most relevant construction/operations staffs namely, the ERTL, Deputy ERTL,
first-aiders, supervising engineers, foremen
- EERT institutions/organizations
- Concerned village authorities
- PMU Office, ESMU
(ii) All Subproject sites should have good access to any combination of audible and visual
alarms, landline phones, mobile phones and two-way radio communication at all
times.
(iii) Contractor’s construction vehicles should also be equipped with the appropriate
communication facilities.

B. EMERGENCY RESPONSE SITUATIONS

VIII. INSTITUTIONAL CAPACITY REVIEW AND NEEDS
71. The IEE reviewed the capacities for environmental management broadly and made the
below observations.
72. Environmental management within the General Department of Public Works within
MPWT: a) There is no strong mandate for environmental management in the department, other
than the responsibilities flowing from, but limited to specific projects, b) The MPWT now has a
Social and Environmental Office, established with support of recent transport sector projects, c)
Technical staff do have some capacity to manage infrastructure on a broad, strategic level as well
as on a day to day level, d) To be able to review environmental assessments, technical staff
members need to acquire an understanding of the principles and processes of environmental
assessment.
73. Capacities relating to environmental management during construction: MPWT staff have
some experience or capacity in the implementation of EMPs, been acquired mainly on past or
ongoing projects in the sector, but few staff are familiar with the requirements. Support for EMP
implementation, including inspection of ongoing and completed work to check for compliance with
EMP provisions and preparation of progress reports to government and ADB, will be provided by
the implementation consultants. In order to be able to undertake these functions, technical staff
from each ministry need to have an understanding of contractual arrangements for construction,
and the provisions under each EMP.
74. Few contracting firms in Cambodia have experience of environmental management,
particularly preparation and implementation of CEMPs. Guidance in CEMP preparation can be
provided to contractors by the implementation consultants.
75. Capacities relating to operation and maintenance of infrastructure: Adequate operation
and maintenance of water and sanitation infrastructure has not taken place to the standard and
extent necessary to keep sanitation infrastructure in operable condition. This is one of the reasons
that the proposed subprojects are necessary. The ministry requires assistance in ensuring
competent operation, regular and periodic maintenance and phased replacement and upgrading
of assets.
76. In accordance with the PAM, the PMU will include the following staff of relevance to
environmental and social management: Social Safeguards Officer, Environmental Safeguards
Officer, and Gender Officer. The PIUs will according to the PAM include a Social and
Environmental Safeguards Officer.
