iv Semi-Annual Environment Monitoring Report Jan-Jun 2014
1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1. The Rural Roads Improvement Project (RRIP) will be implemented for a period of 5
years, from 2011 and will be completed in 2015. The Project has five (5) key components,
namely: (i) improvement of 544.4 km of 22 project rural roads; this was originally 19 roads,
but 3 extra roads (41.7 km) have been added later; (ii) improved road asset management;
(iii) road safety and safeguards (iv) climate change adaptation and (v) efficient project
management.
2. The roads will provide an all-year road access from provincial towns and agricultural
areas, and will provide greater accessibility to basic facilities and services. The Project will
also strengthen the capacity of the MRD to plan, manage and monitor road maintenance
operations and implement the loan covenants and other conditions in the loan package
including establishing and strengthening a Social and Environmental Office (SEO) in MRD,
and increasing linkages and involving the Provincial Department Rural Development (PDRD)
in project implementation and monitoring.
3. The Project is upgrading targeted existing unpaved rural roads in eight provinces to
a paved road standard with double bituminous surface treatment (DBST) without widening
or improving alignment. The Project is also improving drainage structures such as box
culverts and pipe culverts, but reconstruction of bridges are limited to existing wooden
bridges. The Project is classified as environment category B and an initial environmental
examination (lEE) was conducted as part of project preparation in accordance with ADB
Safeguard Policy Statement of 2009 (ADB SPS).
4. The civil works comprise the improvement of 22 existing roads (541.923 km), earth or
gravel surfaced roads in seven provinces. The project is covered by ADB Loan 2670-CAM
(SF) (Contract CW-B and Contract CW-C in four provinces of Kampong Speu, Kampong
Chhnang, Pursat and Battambang started in Dec 2011) and Korea EXIM Bank Loan KHM-11
(Contract CW-A in three provinces of Kampong Cham, Kampong Thom and Siem Reap
started in January 2012). The three additional contracts, (CW-D, CW-E and CW-F) in
Kampong Cham Province financed by ADB Loan 2670-CAM (SF), were awarded in January
2014 and started in February 2014.
5. The International Environmental Specialist and national environment specialist
conducted semi-annual environment monitoring of the civil works between 25 September
and 30 September 2014. They reviewed the activities of the contractors in the project sites in
order to ensure compliance with ADB’s Social Safeguard Policy Statement 2009 and EMP.
They were accompanied by the SEO and PDRD staff of MRD and the DDIS consultants and
the contractor’s representatives.
6. There are currently 7 staffs within SEO: 1 chief, 1 deputy-chief, 1 Resettlement, 2
Environment and 2 Gender officers. The SEO currently fully effective in operation for
monitoring activities of civil works contractors in resettlement, environment and gender

mainstreaming. SEO implement monitoring jointly with the DDIS consultant or independently
to check contractor’s activities. In the event of noncompliance with EMP, SEO through PMU
may issue instructions to the contractors to comply with.
7. The CEMP is monitored and enforced by the DDIS Consultants who use checklists
included in the EMP. By using the checklists consistency is maintained between the various
packages. The checklists are compiled every month and the checklists for all six contract
packages for the period from January to June 2014 were sighted and reviewed by the
International Environmental Specialist. The checklists had been filled in correctly and
reporting was thorough. No environmental issues were identified. No complaints from
villagers were reported.
8. In order to confirm the environmental conditions of the project roads, most of project
roads under construction were visited as being typical and site surveys carried out. In
general environmental conditions were acceptable.
9. Contractors are required to provide PPEs to site workers. This has been done.
10. All contractors are required to check that quarries supplying materials have the
appropriate environmental permits from Ministry of Environment. Some contractors are
using quarries owned by themselves. Permits issued by the Ministry of Environment for
quarry operations were checked.
11. Following the semi-annual environment monitoring on the ongoing civil works sites of
the Project by the international environment specialist and SEO of MRD, at the present time
there are no adverse environmental issues associated with the project implementation. One
workers camp site on Contract CW-D (KC-10 road) was being managed in an exemplary
manner and could serve as an example to other contractors. Other campsites should be
reminded to maintain good housekeeping. When working in congested traffic situations,
attention should be paid to pedestrians walking close to machinery particularly with regards
to children. Used bitumen drums should be returned to supplier when empty. Several roads
are now completed and Checklist Number 11 - Construction Camps Closure should be filled
in the next period. DDIS consultants together with SEO will continue to inspect the sites
frequently and closely monitor the contractor’s field activities to ensure compliance with the
requirements in the EMP and CEMP. Another review will take place after 6 months.

1.0 Introduction
1. As the remote rural economy is becoming increasingly dependent on the improved national road network, the rural road network continues to deteriorate due to lack of adequate road maintenance, combined with rapidly growing traffic, lack of maintenance financing, poor road maintenance standards, inadequate institutional capacity in road maintenance and management, lack of private contractor capacity, and design and construction deficiencies. 2. The Rural Roads Improvement Project (RRIP) will be implemented for a period of 5 years, from 2011 and will be completed in 2015. The Project has five (5) key components, namely: (i) improvement of 544.4 km of 22 project rural roads; this was originally 19 roads, but 3 extra roads (41.7 km) have been added later; (ii) improved road asset management; (iii) road safety and safeguards (iv) climate change adaptation and (v) efficient project management. 3. The Rural Roads Improvement Project (RRIP) will be implemented in selected rural roads in 7 provinces of Cambodia, namely: (i) Kampong Speu, (ii) Kampong Chhnang, (iii) Pursat (iv) Battambang, (v) Siem Reap (vi) Kampong Thom and (vii) Kampong Cham. The project is covered by ADB Loan 2670-CAM (SF) (Contract CW-B and Contract CW-C in four provinces of Kampong Speu, Kampong Chhnang, Pursat and Battambang started in Dec 2011) and Korea EXIM Bank Loan KHM-11 (Contract CW-A in three provinces of Kampong Cham, Kampong Thom and Siem Reap started in January 2012). The three additional contracts, (CW-D, CW-E and CW-F) in Kampong Cham Province financed by ADB Loan 2670-CAM (SF), were awarded in January 2014 and started in February 2014. It will continue through until May 2015. The new roads are included in this assessment. The ongoing civil works comprise the improvement of 22 existing earth or gravel surfaced roads in the seven provinces to a bitumen sealed standard using a double bituminous surface treatment (DBST), including placement as necessary of sub-base and road base, using unbound materials for the road pavement. In some cases the elevation of the road is being raised as protection against currently occurring flooding. This also reflects future climate change related environmental factors.
4. The project is expected to benefit about 560,000 beneficiaries residing in the areas covered by the project with the Ministry of Rural Development (MRD) as the Executing Agency (EA). The road will provide an all-year road access from provincial towns and agricultural areas, and will provide greater accessibility to basic facilities and services. It will also strengthen the capacity of the MRD to plan, manage and monitor road maintenance operations and implement the loan covenants and other conditions in the loan package. A Social and Environmental Office (SEO) has been established in MRD and this will be strengthened during the project. It is also intended to further involve the Provincial Department Rural Development (PDRD) in project implementation and monitoring.
5. The Project will upgrade targeted existing unpaved rural roads in eight provinces to a paved road standard with double bituminous surface treatment (DBST) without widening or changing alignment. The Project will also improve drainage structures such as box culverts and pipe culverts, but reconstruction of bridges is limited to existing wooden bridges. No new roads will be built. The Project is classified as environment category B and an initial environmental examination (lEE) was conducted as part of project preparation in accordance with ADB Safeguard Policy Statement of 2009 (ADB SPS).

2 Environment Monitoring Mechanism
2.1 Introduction
6. The International Environmental Specialist, Dr David G. Lees and national environment specialist, Mr. Khum Thoeun, were mobilized for semi-annual environment monitoring of the civil works between 25th September and 30th September 2014. They reviewed the activities of the contractors on the project sites in order to ensure compliance with ADB’s Social Safeguard Policy Statement 2009. They were accompanied by the staff of the SEO of MRD, PDRD staff of MRD, the DDIS consultants and the contractor’s representatives. 2.2 Environmental Management Plan (EMP) and CEMP
7. An EMP (Environmental Management Plan) was included in the bidding documents of civil works during the procurement stage. The contractors were required to consider the requirements of the EMP when submitting their bids as the conditions in the EMP become contractually binding on the contractors. 8. The EMP included in the bidding documents is, of necessity, general in scope. This is because specific details such as location of contractors camps, borrow areas, rock sources, crushing plants and the like are not known at the bidding stage. These details must be supplied by the contractor in his CEMP – Contractors Environmental Management Plan. All contractors had previously supplied a CEMP. No updates to the CEMP had taken place and were not considered necessary. For the new roads CEMPs had been submitted. 2.3 Environmental Monitoring Program
9. The Environmental Monitoring Program is included in the Environmental Management Plan and so the EMP can be considered as an EMMP - Environmental Management and Monitoring Plan.
10. The essence of monitoring is to ensure compliance with environmental legislation. The contractors have a duty to comply with the relevant legislation. The DDIS consultant must check their activities and report to MRD. In the event of noncompliance with EMP, MRD can instruct the contractor to comply. Given the nature of the work activities most monitoring is based on visual observations. 2.4 Measurements
11. It may be necessary to carry out measurements to establish if the regulations are being met. There will be a “hierarchy” of monitoring and measurements. This would be based on measurements being made by persons in the following order:
Contractors
SEO environmental staff from MRD
Ministry of Environment (MOE would only be involved if an official complaint was made to them)
12. Initially, contractors are required to check daily that all operations are being conducted correctly. In general “good housekeeping” must be employed. If contractor’s camps are established, then overflowing of septic tanks must be checked by visual inspection. Dust must be controlled by covering of stockpiles and water sprays. Solid waste,
engine oil and grease, must be taken away by waste removal contractors and records kept. For road construction operations, lack of dust suppression and noise control are usually the main sources of potential nuisance if activities take place near residential dwellings. Crusher plants and borrow areas can also be sources of noise and dust. Inspection of borrow areas should also include borrow roads used by contractors vehicles. After extraction from borrow areas is finished, reinstatement must be carried out. Warning signs must be erected to avoid drowning if deep ponds are left. Inspectors and SEO staff must make regular checks by visual inspection. 13. Construction supervision inspectors are making daily spot checks and weekly formal checks on site operations. They check all of the above and view records for waste disposal. They must also investigate any pollution incidents or complaints. They are using checklists for record purposes and ensure that any complaints or incident are brought to the notice of the contractor immediately, verbally and with a follow up written notice. 14. Initial monitoring is based on visual inspection and site assessment. Measurements require specialist equipment and this is only needed if a significant incident occurs. Normally, implementation of “Good Housekeeping” and the contractor demonstrating a responsible attitude are sufficient to ensure an environmentally satisfactory operation. 15. If vibration measurements or dust measurements are required then specialized equipment will be needed. The responsibility for requesting the measurements will be the consultant’s. SEO will liaise with MOE and DOE to arrange the measurements. MOE have vibration equipment for measurement of traffic and blasting vibrations. So far no specialized monitoring equipment has been needed. 16. If dust measurements are needed than a two stage process must be adopted. A high volume sampler (HVS) will be deployed by MOE. After a suitable period, usually 24 hours, the filter in the HVS will be retrieved by MOE staff and transported to the laboratory for the second stage which is analysis. This requires highly specialized equipment which MOE possess in Phnom Penh. The MOE will charge for this service. These charges must be covered by the contractor. 17. The results must be submitted to SEO who will interpret them with respect to the relevant regulations. Discussions must then be held between SEO, the consultants’ inspectors and the contractor to determine how to resolve any problems. 2.5 Timing of Monitoring
18. The timing of the monitoring is important. The following list is for guidance and is indicative only.
Liquid emissions from sites must be checked every three months or after heavy rain if overflowing is reported. Measurements in streams and water courses must be made.
Dust emissions on site must be checked weekly by visual inspection and monthly by examining records of water spraying. Ambient air quality must be checked over a 24 hour continuous period at sensitive receptors in the event of complaints.
Noise levels must be checked at site perimeters in the event of a complaint, at night as well as during the daytime.
Correct removal and disposal of food waste and waste engine oil and grease must be checked weekly by visual inspection of the camps and checking of records from the waste disposal contractors.
Noise and vibration must be checked at sensitive receptors if blasting occurs or in the event of complaint. Before blasting commences warning notices must be posted to local residents.
Reinstatement of borrow pits and quarries must be checked after closure of the facility. 19. In addition to regular monitoring, unannounced spot checks must be made by SEO on contractors operations. All of the above procedures should be carried out by the site inspectors, in conjunction with SEO, and where appropriate MOE/ DOE. The results should be formally recorded every week and compiled into a monthly report. This should be submitted to the Engineer, the Chief Resident Engineer and discussed with SEO and the contractors as necessary but at a minimum on a monthly basis. Monthly reports are being compiled into semi-annual reports for submission to ADB. 2.6 Monitoring of CEMP by Checklists
20. The CEMP is monitored and enforced by the Supervision Consultants inspectors who use Checklists included in the EMP. By using the checklists consistency is maintained between the various packages. The checklists are compiled every month and the checklists for all Contract Packages CW-A, CW-B, CW-C, CW-D, CW-E and CW-F for January to June 2014 for CW-A through CW-C and March to June 2014 for CW-D through CW-F respectively were sighted and reviewed by the International Environmental Specialist. The checklists had been filled in correctly and reporting was thorough. No significant environmental issues were identified. Dust from roads was commented upon during dry patches but was not a significant issue and was remedied by increased frequency of water sprays. During the rainy season it ceases to be an issue. No noise complaints had been received. No further remedial works were required at the time of the inspections. No complaints from villagers were reported. Where possible contractors rent local houses for their workers rather than establishing camps. This is easier for them and avoids issues over sanitation and water supply. This approach is actively encouraged and appears to be working well. The contractors of CW-D, CW-E and CW-F have adopted this approach as the scales of contract are rather small and the construction period is only 15 months. 2.7 Establishment of SEO
21 There is now 7 staff within SEO: 1 Chief, 1 Vice chief, 1 Resettlement, 2 Environment and 2 Gender persons. It is considered that this now makes them effective. SEO can act together with the DDIS consultant or independently to check contractor’s activities. In the event of noncompliance with EMP, SEO as part of MRD can instruct the contractor to comply. During the environmental inspections by the International Environmental Expert the SEO accompanied the team and so gained On the Job Training. When workers camp sites were visited the SEO was asked to do the initial environmental audit, present the results and observations, and then a discussion was held. They are improving in their skills and are being encouraged to carry out inspections on their own and submit the results to the IES for review.
3 Results of Monitoring
22. In order to confirm the environmental assessments done by checklist, site visits were made to several selected roads by the International Environmental Specialist accompanied by staff from MRD / SEO. Observations are given below.
3.1 Contract CW-A: Kampong Cham, Kampong Thom and Siem Reap
23. A meeting was held with the DDIS Team leader of EDCF co-financed contract CW-A, and the team leader confirmed that the majority of project roads have been completed. Only one road 2620/2KT2 was still under construction of DBST paving works. No sites visits were necessary. Site closure checklists are required to be completed for the Project Completion Report. 3.2 Contract CW-B: Kampong Speu & Kampong Chhnang
24. The DDIS team leader confirmed that all project roads have been completed. No sites visits were necessary. Site closure has been checked during the taking-over inspection in July 2014. 3.3 Contract CW-C: Pursat and Battambang
25. Under this contract one road 1BB1 has been completed up to for DBST pavement. This is the longest road among the four roads in Battambang. There are still some remaining works for road furniture such as traffic signs, guide posts and road marking. The roads and slopes are cleaned and there is no environment issue.
26. Roads 1BB3 and 1BB4 are contiguous and can be considered as one road. As these roads were visited in the last semi-annual review they were not visited on this occasion. In Pursat Province road 155D runs south from NR5 for 19.4kms and then becomes road 1PS2 for 18.7kms. A spur from 1PS2 designated 155C of length 22.3kms runs back to NR5. A camp site is located near the end point of 155C. Toilets were installed, and oil tank was properly separated from other facilities managed. There were some used oil drums, and the inspection team asked the contractor to remove from the camp site. Inspection photos of CW-C are shown in Figure 1 through Figure 6.

Figure 4 Site camp provides bottled drinking water and toilets
Figure 5 Empty drums and used tyres to be removed from the site.
Figure 6 Embankment on 155C waiting to be covered with vegetation 27. There are no environmental issues associated with roads 155C, 155D and 1PS2. The general housekeeping of the works camp should be improved and waste drums and other waste materials removed, not left standing in the open where they are exposed to rain and may leak. 28. The embankments are bare earth and are vulnerable to soil erosion in heavy rain. This is a waste of embankment material and can block drains. Contractors should be encouraged to plant vegetation strips as soon as possible and practical. 3.4 Contract CW-D: Kampong Cham
29. Road KC10 of 15 km length is being constructed under Contract CW-D. The road KC10, the workers camp and an extension of works to the road were inspected.
Figure 7 Beginning point of road and entrance to rubber plantation
Figure 8 Road passing through rubber plantations 30. No environmental issues were observed on the road. 31. The workers camp site is located on a narrow piece of land between residential properties. Good use has been made of the available space and in general the site displays a high standard of housekeeping. The land is rented and will be vacated in May 2015.

Figure 12 Flush water provided to toilets which are cleaned every day
Figure 13 Clean cooking area and bottled drinking water 32. The fuel tank is mounted on a frame above a concrete base. The manifold outlet is located above a kerbed area to contain minor spills. This complies with the requirements of the CEMP. Some minor damage has occurred to the brick kerb and this needs repairing and a tap installed to release rain water but hold back any spilled oil. 33. The contractor has provided separate toilets for men and women. A concrete septic tank has been installed. These are cleaned every day and flushing water provided. The kitchen area was well maintained and clear of any vermin or waste. Bottled water is provided for drinking purposes. A rain water capture system has been installed for washing, bathing and toilet flushing.
Figure 14 Rain water capture system for washing, bathing and toilet flushing 34. This workers camp is complying with the CEMP and an excellent standard of environmental management is being achieved. The contractor and the KCI inspector are to be complimented on their efforts. The inspector stated that he had worked on previous contract package of CW-C in Pursat and had transferred lessons learned from there. The contractor stated that he had bought some material such as sanitary fittings from the market and employed a local builder for some tasks. For other tasks he had supplied his own labor. 35. No environmental issues were observed on the site. This site could be used as a good teaching example to other contractors.
36. The bitumen storage area was visited. There were no spills of bitumen and the site was clean.
Figure 15 Bitumen container and aggregate washing plant area 37. A section of road to the north of the bitumen camp will be raised due to this year's severe flooding due to increase of Mekong River water level. This was observed from the point of view of climate change. No environmental issues were observed on this road section.
Figure 16 Worker showing height of flooding and future raised height of KC10 road 3.5 Contract CW-E: Kampong Cham
38. Road KC2 of length 10kms is nearing completion. A section of concrete trapezoidal side drain has been constructed on one side to control drainage.
Figure 17 Beginning Point KC2 and new trapezoidal side drain 39. A parallel road and adjoining school are subject to flooding due to Mekong River overflow and so to alleviate this extra cross drainage is needed to be provided on KC2. Two pipe and three box culverts are planned and the construction is expected to start after approval of variation for additional drainage. There are no environmental issues associated with this road.
Figure 18 School yard subject to water stagnation; resident showing height of flood 40. There is no construction camp for this section, the workers are housed in rented houses at the ends of the road section. The DBST is nearly finished and so the bitumen storage area was visited.
Figure 19 Rented camp was empty as major works are completed.
Figure 20 Empty bitumen containers to be removed 41. Empty containers were laid in the open. They should be stored under the shed out of the rain until they can be removed. Contaminated soil should be collected and removed. Bulk containers should be removed and returned to the supplier. 42. No other environmental issues were observed. The contractor’s activities were considered acceptable. 3.6 Contract CW-F: Kampong Cham
43. Road KC 11 is of length 16.7kms and runs north from NR6. The works will be completed in April 2015. 44. A concrete pavement has been constructed for the first 500m through the market area. Then the road becomes DBST.
Figure 21 Beginning Point of road with concrete pavement. 45. In the town centre the road is narrow and traffic is congested. Care must be taken to keep heavy plant and machinery away from residents particularly children. This is a standard CEMP policy and the contractors were reminded of this.
Figure 22 Roads congested at this point. 46. The contractor’s camp was inspected. This will be used until January 2015. In general housekeeping needs to be improved. Waste drums and empty containers were being kept on the site. These should be removed when empty.
Figure 23 Empty and waste drums to be removed. 47. No other environmental issues were observed. The contractor’s activities must be monitored for the remaining four months of the contract to ensure they are acceptable. 3.5 Review of Environmental Parameters
48. Environment parameters were checked and reviewed for six contract packages. All civil works have been evaluated satisfactory and no environmental issues were found. The review of results on environmental parameters of each contract package are shown in Table 2.

6 Conclusion
50. Following the semi-annual environment monitoring on the ongoing civil works sites of the Project by the international environment specialist and national environment specialist together with SEO of MRD, at the present time there are no adverse environmental issues associated with the project implementation. One workers camp site on KC-10 (CW-D) was being managed in an exemplary manner and could serve as an example to other contractors. Other campsites should be reminded to maintain good housekeeping. When working in congested traffic situations attention should be paid to pedestrians walking close to machinery particularly with regards to children. Used bitumen drums should be returned to supplier when empty. Several roads are now completed and Checklist Number 11 - Construction Camps Closure should be filled in the next period. DDIS consultants together with SEO will continue to inspect the sites frequently and closely monitor the contractor’s field activities to ensure compliance with the requirements in the EMP and CEMP. Another review will take place after 6 months.
