EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. The Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) has requested a loan from Asian Development Bank (ADB) in the amount of USD 23 million equivalent to finance the proposed Technical Vocational Education and Training Sector Development Program (TVETSDP) which will support the RGC to address equity and quality issues facing the technical vocational education and training (TVET) system through: (i) increased access to TVET programs, particularly for women and the poor; (ii) improved quality and relevance of the TVET system; and (iii) strengthened governance and management of TVET delivery. The Project supports RGC’s commitment toward the development of high-quality, skilled and capable human resources in order to meet the immediate and long-term needs of economic growth and socio-economic development. The Executing Agency is the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training (MLVT) and the implementing agency is the Directorate General of TVET (DGTVET). The loan for TVETSDP was approved by ADB on 26 September 2014. 2. During the preparation stage of TVETSDP, the Agence Française de Développement (AFD) expressed interest in co-financing the investment part of the program. After the loan effectiveness, MLVT and AFD agreed to provide additional financing. On 17 June 2015, the AFD Board of Directors approved additional co-financing through a $15.0 million equivalent loan, to be administered by ADB. 3. This IEE, which was prepared originally for the TVETSDP, has been updated to include the additional works to be undertaken under the proposed additional financing (referred to as TVETSDP-AF in this IEE). This initial environment examination (IEE) report directly relates to the proposed new DGTVET multi-storey-building. 4. The proposed civil work is on existing DGTVET building. It is government-owned land to the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training (MLVT). There is no protected area, environmental sensitive areas, wetlands, mangroves, estuaries, cultural heritage site or historical monuments in or near the Project’s location. 5. Based on the ADB’s Rapid Environment Assessment Checklist and Safeguards Policy Statement 2009, the environmental categorization of the project is category B, requiring the preparation of initial environment examination (IEE). 6. The anticipated impacts on the physical and biological environment are temporary, localized, can be easily avoided or minimized with the implementation of mitigation and monitoring measures which are detailed in the environmental mitigation plan (EMP) and environmental monitoring plan (EMoP), respectively. The following are the anticipated impacts and the corresponding mitigation measures during the construction phase of the Project: (i) Air pollution from the dust emissions from demolishing of existing DGTVET building,

movement of earth materials and emission from movement of heavy equipment and construction vehicles which will be mitigated by good construction practices such as water spraying on road surface and work areas, covering all salvageable materials during transportation, proper maintenance of construction vehicles and equipment, and washing truck-tires particularly trucks carrying soil from the construction areas;

7

(ii) Water pollution from run-off or soil erosion from stockpiled construction materials and wastewater from domestic sewage of construction workers and accidental spillage of oil and other lubricants from washing of construction equipment, which will be mitigated by covering exposed soils, construction of temporary silt traps, and provision of adequate and on-site sanitation facilities;

(iii) Noise pollution from the construction activities resulting to disturbance and nuisance to the

nearby buildings and community, which will be mitigated with continuous consultation with the officials and management of MLVT and the community on the schedule and time of construction activities and the use of noise suppression on construction equipment;

(iv) The generation of demolition debris have to require bidding contractor/bidder to be

accountable for dumping the demolition debris at her/his designated landfill/site and committing to re-use or sold out the salvageable materials of the DGTVET building such as cement tiled roofs, doors, windows, aluminum frames, glasses, existing furniture’s, air conditioners, bricks, irons and so forth, therefore, it could be reduced the volumes of demolition debris. Please be noted that the roof of existing DGTVET building is covering by cement tiled roofs-none of asbestos-containing materials (ACM) in it. The volume of demolition debris is approximate 1,373m³. The solid wastes from DGTVET building has been collected, temporary stored and disposing properly by CINTRI CAMBODIA CO., LTD, and the solid waste from the construction of proposed DGTVET multi-storey building will be mitigated by the provision of waste bins in the construction site and the proper segregation, temporary storage, collection and disposal of solid wastes will be strictly observed.

(v) Occupational health and safety in the construction site causing harm and danger to the

lives and welfare of workers, which will be mitigated with the implementation of occupational and health safety plan including the provision of personal protective equipment to all workers; in addition, COVID-19 risk management and prevention is taking into account especially for workers and staff at construction sites/civil works implementations.

(vi) Community health and safety such as the disruption of normal traffic patterns, traffic

accident, damage or degradation of Capital City roads from the transport of materials and risks from unauthorized entry to the construction resulting to accidents. This will be mitigated by the implementation of community health and safety plan which will include recruitment of duly licensed drivers, the provision of fence to enclose the DGTVET building and posting warning signs and information in the DGTVET building.

7. During the operation and maintenance of DGTVET building, DGTVET of the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training will ensure the implementation of proper segregation, temporary storage, collection and disposal of solid waste, provision of adequate drinking water supply and sanitation facilities, implementation of occupational health and safety to all trainees and staff, and emergency response plan during fire, earthquake and other incidents.

8

8. Public consultations involving the stakeholders of the project has been conducted through consultation meetings and key informant interviews. The concerns and recommendations of the stakeholders were incorporated in the EMP. A grievance redress mechanism (GRM) is also established to address and facilitate complaints in a timely and transparent manner during the construction phase of the project. Results of the initial environment examination indicated that proposed new multi-storey DGTVET building will not result to significant adverse environmental impacts. The anticipated impacts during the construction phase of the project can be easily mitigated with the implementation of EMP and EMoP.

I. INTRODUCTION A. Project Overview 9. The Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) has requested a project loan from Asian Development Bank (ADB) in the amount of USD 23 million equivalent to finance the proposed Technical Vocational Education and Training Sector Development Program (TVETSDP) which will support the government to address equity and quality issues facing the technical vocational education and training (TVET) system through: (i) increased access to TVET programs, particularly for women and the poor; (ii) improved quality and relevance of the TVET system; and (iii) strengthened governance and management of TVET delivery. The Project supports RGC’s commitment toward the development of high-quality, skilled and capable human resources in order to meet the immediate and long-term needs of economic growth and socio-economic development 1 . The loan for TVETSDP was approved on 26 September 2014 by the Asian Development Bank’s ( ADB) Board of Directors.

During the preparation stage of TVETSDP, the Agence Française de Développement (AFD) expressed interest in co-financing the investment part of the program. After the loan effectiveness, MLVT and AFD agreed to provide additional financing. On 17 June 2015, the AFD Board of Directors approved additional co-financing through a USD 15.0 million equivalent loan, to be administered by ADB. Building on the existing program design, the proposed additional co-financing will scale-up activities under the investment part of TVETSDP.

10. This IEE, which was prepared originally for the TVETSDP, has been updated to

include the additional works to be undertaken under the proposed additional financing (referred to as TVETSDP-AF in this IEE).

11. This initial environment examination (IEE) report directly relates to the proposed new DGTVET multi-storey building.

12. The executing agency of the Project is the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training (MLVT) and the implementing agency is the Directorate General of TVET (DGTVET).

B. Scope and Objective of the IEE 13. The Project is classified as category B, requiring the preparation of an Initial Environment Examination (IEE) report. 14. The objectives of the IEE are to:

(i) Assess the existing environmental conditions of the project area including the identification of environmentally sensitive areas;

(ii) Identify likely impacts of the proposed project on the physical, biological and socioeconomic environment;

1 Royal Government of Cambodia, Rectangular Strategy for Growth, Employment, Equity and Efficiency Phase III, Phnom Penh, September 2013.

10

(iii) Proposed appropriate mitigation and monitoring measures that could be incorporated in the environmental management plan (EMP) to avoid or minimize the identified potential impacts of the project.

15. The information in the IEE report are based on secondary sources of information, consultations and social perception surveys to stakeholders using key informant interviews. II. POLICY, LEGAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE FRAMEWORK 16. This chapter discusses the policy, legal, and administrative framework as well as the institutional set-up relevant to the environmental and social assessment of the project. A. ADB Policy

1. Safeguard Policy Statement 17. This report has been prepared in accordance with the ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement, 2009 (SPS) which governs the environmental and social safeguards of ADB’ operations. Environmental Safeguard Requirements 1 of the SPS outlines the requirements the borrowers/clients are required to meet when delivering environmental safeguards for projects supported by ADB. These requirements include assessing impacts, planning and managing impact mitigations, preparing environmental assessment reports, disclosing information and undertaking consultation, establishing grievance redress mechanism (GRM), and monitoring and reporting. Safeguards requirement-1 (SR1) also includes specific environmental safeguard requirements pertaining to biodiversity conservation and sustainable management of natural resources, pollution prevention and abatement occupational health and safety, and conservation of physical cultural resources.

2. Screening and categorization

18. At an early stage of the project, ADB screens and categorizes proposed projects based on the significance of potential project impacts and risks. Screening and categorization is undertaken to: (i) reflect the significance of potential impacts or risks that a project might present; (ii) identify the level of assessment and institutional resources required for the safeguard measures; and (iii) determine disclosure requirements. A project’s category is determined by the category of its most environmentally sensitive component, including direct, indirect, cumulative, and induced impacts in the project’s area of influence. The nature of the environmental assessment required for a project depends on the significance of its environmental impacts, which are related to the type and location of the project; the sensitivity, scale, nature, and magnitude of its potential impacts; and the availability of cost-effective mitigation measures. Projects are screened for their expected environmental impacts, and are assigned to one of the following four categories:

(i) Category A. Projects could have significant adverse environmental impacts. An EIA is required to address significant impacts.

(ii) Category B. Projects could have some adverse environmental impacts, but of lesser degree or significance than those in category A. An IEE is required to determine whether significant environmental impacts warranting an EIA are likely. If an EIA is not needed, the IEE is regarded as the final environmental assessment report.

(iii) Category C. Projects are unlikely to have adverse environmental impacts. No

11

EIA or IEE is required, although environmental implications are reviewed. (iv) Category FI. Projects involve a credit line through a financial intermediary or

an equity investment in a financial intermediary. The financial intermediary must apply an environmental management system, unless all projects will result in insignificant impacts.

19. The REA checklist for the preparation of IEE was completed on 24 July 2019. The main purpose of the site assessment is the following:

(i) Assessment of the existing location and the surrounding environment of DGTVET building locations and identify if there are sensitive areas, archaeological sites and historical sites located in or near the project area;

(ii) Identify potential environmental and socioeconomic impacts on the proposed construction of new DGTVET multi-storey building;

(iii) Consultation with the officials and staff of MLVT, DGTVET about the project; and

(iv) Conduct social perception survey through key informant interviews to stakeholders.

3. Public Disclosure

20. ADB will post the below safeguard documents on its website as well as disclose relevant information in accessible manner in local communities;

(i) For environment category A projects, draft EIA report at least 120 days before Board consideration;

(ii) Final or updated EIA and/or IEE upon receipt; and (iii) Environmental monitoring reports submitted for the project

B. Cambodia Environmental Laws and Guidelines

21. Implementation of the project will be governed by the environmental acts, rules, policies and regulations of the Royal Government of Cambodia. These regulations impose restrictions and guidelines on the activities to minimize and/or mitigate likely impacts to the environment. The project will involve construction activities and civil works on existing location.

1. Environmental Laws 22. The Law on Environmental Protection and Natural Resources Management (No: NS/RKM/1296/36) was enacted in 1996 and is the main law for protection of the environment in Cambodia. Article 6 of the law requires that environmental impact assessment (EIA) be undertaken for proposed projects with the Ministry of Environment designated as the authority to review EIAs prior to submission to the Government for approval. 23. The Sub-Decree on Environmental Impact Assessment and Process (Sub-Decree 72, 11 August 1999) supports the Law of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources and sets out institutional responsibilities, impact assessment requirements and the procedures for undertaking the environmental assessment process. The annex to the sub-decree lists all projects (public or private) for which environmental assessment is required. The project which involves the construction of new DGTVET multi-storey building and rehabilitation activities is

12

not required to undertake an EIA because only buildings that have a height greater than or equal to 12m or floor area greater than or equal to 8,000m2 requires an EIA. 24. Other environmental laws and regulations applicable during the construction activities in the DGTVET multi-storey building are the following:

(i) Sub-Decree ANK/BK No. 42 (July 2000): The Control of Air Pollution and Noise Disturbance. The general provisions in this sub-decree states its purpose to protect the quality of the environment quality and public health from air pollutants and noise disturbance through monitoring, curbing and mitigating activities. It applies to all movable sources and immovable sources of air pollution and noise disturbance. Immovable source refers to sources with a permanent location such as a factory, enterprise, warehouse, construction site, incinerator, loud speakers, handicraft, and all kinds of farms.

(ii) Sub-Decree ANK/BK No. 36 (April 1999): Solid Waste Management: The general provisions of this sub decree set is to regulate the solid waste management with proper technical manner and safe way in order to ensure the protection of human health and the conservation of bio-diversity applicable to all activities related to disposal, storage, collection, transport, recycling, dumping of garbage and hazardous waste.

(iii) Sub-Decree ANK/BK No. 27 (April 1999): Water Pollution Control: This sub decree applies to all sources of pollution and all activities that cause pollution of the public water areas. Effluent standard for pollution sources discharging wastewater to public water areas or sewer are regulated. Source of pollution refers to any type of places such as dwelling house, public administrative building, premise, transport facilities, business areas or service places from which effluent, pollutants or hazardous substances are directly or indirectly discharged into public water areas or public drainage systems.

2. Laws on Nature Reserves

25. Royal Decree “Protected Natural Areas” issued in November 1993 gives protection to environment, land, forests, wetlands and coastal zones. The decree covers twenty-three (23) locations representing 18% of Cambodia’s total area and is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Environment.

3. Laws on Wildlife 26. The “Joint Prakas of the Ministry of Environment and Ministry of Agriculture on Prohibition of Hunting and Catching Wildlife Animals, 1996” specifically bans hunting of animals and birds for food. All contractor’s workers must observe this law.

4. Protected Area Law

13

27. In 2008, Cambodia introduced the Protected Area Law (No. NS/RKM/0208/07), which explicitly defines protected areas as (i) national parks; (ii) wildlife sanctuaries; (iii) protected landscapes; (iv) multiple use areas; (v) Ramsar sites; (vi) biosphere reserves; (vii) natural heritage sites; and (viii) marine parks.

5. Applicable Guidelines from MLVT 28. The MLVT has the following guidelines which will be implemented during the construction phase of the Project:

(i) MLVT Prakas 2 No. 075/11 K.B/BR.K (March 2011): Sanitation at the Construction Site: The Prakas sets to ensure that the sanitation and safety conditions are fulfilled for the workers at the construction site by owner, director, awarded contractor or sub-contractor of construction establishment or construction company and responsible person to construction site. Articles 3 and 4 set to provide workers with shelter, sanitation facilities and safe potable water for drinking and washing.

(ii) MLVT Prakas No. 076/11 K.B/BRK (March 2011): The Protection of Risk Resulting from Climate Change at Construction Site. Articles of this Prakas required safety measures and break times for worker at the construction site during extreme weather events.

(iii) MLVT Prakas No. 077/11 K.B/BRK (March 2011): Providing of Information at the Construction Site. This Prakas states requirements for owner or responsible person of a construction site to provide information, i.e. name and address of the owner of enterprise, construction establishment, Construction Company, name and address of architect, nature of construction, i.e. road, railway, bridge, dam, canal, residential building, industrial building, and commercial building, date for the start of the construction and estimated time to finish the construction works, and estimated number of workers to be employed for construction activities.

(iv) MLVT Prakas No. 078/11 K.B/BRK (March 2011): Stock of Materials, Waste Disposal and Clearance at Construction Site. This Prakas provides safety guidelines and requirements for the safe storage of construction of materials and hazardous substances/objects that can pose health and safety risks to workers.

6. International Environmental Conventions

29. There are many international environment conventions that Cambodia is a party but are not applicable for this project. The project will involve construction activities on existing location of DGTVET building and are not located or situated in or near protected areas, cultural heritage and archaeological sites, and historical monuments.

7. Law on Construction

2 Prakas is a Khmer term, which means guidelines and information from the Ministry.

14

30. The Law on Construction has been promulgated by the Royal Krom No. NS/RKM/1119/019 dated 2nd November 2019. This new law contains 22 chapters and 111 articles and aims to regulate the construction sector and implement adequate technical and safety standards on construction sites throughout Cambodia. This law establishes a regulatory framework to ensure quality, security, safety and greater efficiency across this sector. Under the law, the Ministry of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction (“MLMUC”) remains the competent authority to oversee and manage the construction sector. The Construction Law will be further clarified by forthcoming Sub-Decrees and Prakas to guide its implementation. The MLMUC is currently working on these new Sub-Decrees and Prakas. 31. The law features new provisions such as (i) the obligation upon the owner to obtain an occupancy certificate, (ii) the defect liabilities and (iii) conducting quality and safety inspections of all buildings (within a period of every five (5) years for a non-residential building and ten (10) years for a residential building). Acknowledging that many buildings are currently not in compliance with the Law’s provisions, this Law provides a two year ‘grace’ period to building owners to allow them enough time to make any necessary changes and enter into compliance with the Construction Law. Owners of any existing constructions built without the necessary permits or non-compliant construction work before enforcement of the Construction Law shall apply for an occupancy certificate within two years from the Law entering into effect. The Law on Construction entered into force on 3rd November 2019. The following articles relevant to the constructions, demolitions and repair works:

Article 26: All building or demolition works shall have prior permission by the competent authority

Article 27: building or demolition work in emergency or in disaster situation in order to save or protect live or to prevent serious impact or damage to health or property in emergency situation should not require a prior permit. Within a period of thirty (30) days, at the latest, after emergency situation ends, the owner of the construction built in emergency situation shall apply for a certificate of occupancy according to the existing conditions and procedures. Within a period of thirty (30) days, at the latest, after emergency situation ends, the owner of the construction demolished in emergency situation shall notify in writing the competent authority.

Article 28: The building or demolition works that do not require permission are as follows: small construction that do not affect public security safety and order; Wooden House, house with concrete ground floor and wooden upper floor, wooden or concrete ground-house in rural or farming areas that do not affect Tourist destinations, Heritage sites, conservation sites; a construction which serve national security and national defense. The types and sizes of building or demolition work with do not require permission shall be determined by a sub-decree.

Article 29: repair, modification, or installation of construction equipment does not require permission if the work does not affect it load support structures, exterior, esthetic, or the function of the whole building or any part of the building and does not affect public security, safety and order. in this case the construction owner shall give the competent authority prior notice. The types and sides of repair, modification/alteration or installation of construction equipment that do not require a permission shall be determined by a sub-decree.

15

Formality and procedure for prior notice concerning repairs, modification or installation of construction equipment which do not require a permission shall be determined by Prakas of the Ministry of Land Management Urban Planning and Construction.

Article 30: The conditions and procedure for granting, suspending and revoking building, repair or demolition permits shall be determined by a sub-decree.

Article 31: Building, repair, or demolition permit does not absolve the individual who is granted the permit from any application and responsibilities according to the building technical regulations and the other existing regulations.

Carrying out of building or demolition work for the construction that does not absolve the construction owner from any obligation and responsibility according to the order existing laws and regulations.

8. Law on Territory Management, Urban Planning and Construction 32. The Law on Territory Management, Urban Planning and Construction has promulgated on 24th May 1994 by the Royal Krorm No. 04NS94. The following articles relevant to territory management, urban planning and construction: Article 1: to promote the urbanization and rural development of the Kingdom of Cambodia to ensure the harmonious development of the country in spirit of:

- Respecting the public interest, individuals, and the individuals’ rights, the regulations and the construction supervision.

- Ensure the balanced development between urban and rural areas based on the geography and features of each region.

- Ensuring the value of natural resources, cultural property and ensuring the economic development of the tourism sector and preserving the environment quality.

Article 5: The Urban Planning and Construction Committee of Phnom Penh or the Sub-Committee for Urban Planning and Construction of each Municipality shall design a blueprint for the preparation and development of its Capital and Provincial Capital. This master plan shall be approved by the National Committee for Land Management and Urban Planning and Construction and shall be determined by sub-decree. To protect the environment protection heritage and to ensure the economic development of the special zone where the cabinet determines the National Committee for Land Allocation, Urban Planning and Construction, to prepare a blueprint for that special zone to the cabinet. Article 6: Plan Layouts of Land Use and Construction are designed for municipal, provincial and capital city. This layout must be respected by both the private and public authorities in their construction work.

B. Existing Conditions of DGTVET building

1. Land Area 35. The location of Directorate General of Technical Vocational Education and Training (DGTVET) is located along Russian Blvd, No.09, Sangkat Toek Laak I, Khan Toul Kouk, Phnom Penh. The master plan of DGTVET has fence enclosure and it is state-owned land of the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training with a total area is 27,912m². The proposed civil work is on the area occupied by the existing DGTVET building which will be demolished and where the multi-storey building for new DGTVET Head Quarter (20mx40m=800 m² per floor) will be built. 36. The demolition debris of DGTVET building has to require bidding contractor to be accountable for dumping site, the demolition debris at her/his designated site and committing to re-use or sold out the salvageable materials of the DGTVET building such as cement tiled roofs, doors, windows, aluminum frames, glasses, existing furniture’s, air conditioners, bricks, irons and so forth, therefore, it could be reduced the volumes of demolition debris. Please be noted that the roof of existing DGTVET building is covering by cement tiled roofs- it is none of asbestos-containing materials (ACM). It is recommended to have water spraying on DGTVET building during breaking/demolition of building, road surface and work areas, as necessary, especially during dry weather, the volume of demolition debris is approximate calculating 1,373m³. The solid wastes from DGTVET building has been collected, temporary stored and disposing properly by CINTRI CAMBODIA CO., LTD, and the solid waste from the construction of proposed DGTVET multi-storey building will be mitigated by the provision of waste bins in the construction site and the proper segregation, temporary storage, collection and disposal of solid wastes will be strictly observed.

C. Implementation Schedule 37. The proposed implementation of the construction of DGTVET building is on 2020 to 2021. The following table presents the initial work-plan for DGTVET multi-storey building:

D. The proposed DGTVET multi-storey building and concept: 38. The concept for the design of the new DGTVET building has to consider modern planning and modern work practices, which are conducive to group and team work to improve effectiveness, efficiency and productivity. The final detailed design has proposed a four-storey DGTVET building and reserves up to nine (9)-storey for future extensions. The new building has to be a very modern building with a very conducive work environment. Due to this building is the head quarter of the TVET sector in the country, and as it is being built during the

4thIndustrial Revolution, the new DGTVET building needs to showcase a very environment-

friendly “green” and “smart” building, which provides a work-conducive and environmentally friendly working space.

39. Environment and climate change issues are affecting the daily lives of the people. Therefore, the new building should be designed as a “Green Building”, by harnessing the

solar energy to fuel its daily power needs, so that the building does not have to rely on the main electrical grid, as well “harvest” the rain water by collecting and storing in underground sump tanks and recycling this collected rain water to be used in the toilets as well as in the cafeteria.

40. The free solar power is to be harnessed using solar panels, the efficiency of which has increased and the cost of which has come down drastically during the last decade to make these solar panels very affordable. The solar panels produced nowadays are smaller, more efficient and more affordable. This has made the use of solar panels gradually more prevalent even for residences in many parts of the world. Since solar panels are not used that much in Cambodia, DGTVET must play a catalytic role in demonstrating the efficiency, effectivity and affordability of the solar panels so that other TVET institutions and other public and private entities will emulate the example of DGTVET. This has become necessary as there is a shortage of power in the dry season. The use of solar panels will contribute to mitigating the problem. If other buildings follow DGTVET example, the power shortage in the dry shortage could be minimized.

41. The “green” theme can be further augmented by extending window parapets very creatively so that green leafy plants and leafy creepers hang down from the window parapets, so that there is a green band all around the building at every window level at every floor. This will make the building look green from outside and this greenery will be very refreshing to the eyes to all those working inside. The “green” look will be further enhanced by green, manicured grass, and flowers and creative landscaping all around the building. E. SPATIAL ANALYSIS OF ALL THE FLOORS 42.

IV. DESCRIPTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT 44. The data and information presented in the description of the environment are collected through comprehensive literature survey, discussions and interview with stakeholders and assessment to the DGTVET building. A. Physical Resources

1. Geography 45. Cambodia shares international borders with Thailand on the west; the Laos People’s Democratic Republic to the north; and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam on the east and southeast. It is bounded on the southwest by the Gulf of Thailand. It has 435 km of coastline and a land area of 181, 040 km2 (World Bank Group, 2011). 46. The DGTVET Building is in the Capital City of Phnom Penh, It is reported that the DGTVET building was dormitory building constructed during 1960s for the Institute of Technology of Cambodia, the building is located on the hill in the campus of MLVT with size of 15 meter by 55 meters, neighboring buildings are women dormitory to the east, neighboring MLVT Head Quarter Building to the south. And narrow access road to the east, partition/boundary by fence between women dormitory building and DGTVET building. The reinforced concrete roads can be accessed from the east, north and south of the DGTVET building. The TVETSDP consisted of 18 project locations/provinces to implement the civil works-building constructions. Phnom Penh has the least land area among all project locations of TVETSDP, please see (Table 1).

2. Topography 47. Cambodia is topographically divided into two distinct parts: (i) the central plains and the flat coastal areas; and (ii) the mountainous ranges and high plateau surrounding the low lying land. It is also naturally classified into four environmental regions, i.e. Plain, Tonle Sap, Coastal, and Plateau and Mountainous. The capital city Phnom Penh and Kandal province are situated in the Plain Region (UNEP, 2019). 48. The DGTVET Building in Phnom Penh lays at an elevation of 0-25m relative to the mean sea level; the characteristic elevation of almost the entire capital city and Kandal Province. (Figure 2).

Figure 2: Topographical maps of the capital city Phnom Penh and the province of Kandal

3. Geology

49. The DGTVET Building in Phnom Penh lies on alluvial plain deposits, while Kandal province is on a floodplain and nearby geology of organic deposits (swamps). (Figure 3).

5. Climate

51. The climate of Cambodia is tropical monsoon and it has a dry season (November to April) and rainy season (May to October). Between 1,200 and 2,000 mm of annual rainfall across the country is brought by the northwest monsoon. The heaviest rainfall (over 3,000 mm per year) is experienced in the west along the coastal lowlands; Koh Kong Province receiving up to 5,270 mm/yr (Table 2). Significant variations in rainfall from year to year are common. The relative humidity ranges from 65-70% (January and February) to 85-90% (August and September). The temperature accordingly changes regionally and seasonally. April is the warmest month (above 38ºC), January the coldest (22ºC), and the average annual temperature is 27ºC. (UNEP, 2019).

52. The mean wind speed in the country is low (2 m/s). The month of December has strong steady wind from the north. Typhoons rarely cause damage in Cambodia, unlike in the neighboring country Vietnam. Annual evaporation is at 2,000-2,200 mm; the highest being March to April (200-240 mm) and lowest in September to October (120-150 mm) (UNEP, 2019).

6. Water Resources

30

53. Cambodia has many rivers and water bodies. The Mekong, Tonle Sap and Bassac are the main rivers which flow across the country from north to south. The Mekong River runs through Cambodia with a total length of 486 km and about 86% of the country’s land lay on Mekong catchments area. The Tonle Sap Lake is the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia with a size of about 2,600 km2 in dry season and increases to 13,000 km2 in wet season. Thus, there is access to substantial surface water resources from the inflow from upstream countries and the internally generated flow. For the groundwater resource, this is extensive and abundant in the country and is estimated to contain 17.6 billion m3 (UNEP, 2019). 54. The Tonle Sap River is about 4 km to the east of the DGTVET Building in Phnom Penh, and the merging area of the Tonle Sap and Mekong Rivers is 5 km to the southeast. From the merging area, a tributary to the south is the Bassac River, about 6km from DGTVET which leads further to Kandal Province. The drainage and sewerage systems in Phnom Penh city did not allow to discharges into the Tonle Sap, Mekong and Bassac rivers. The drainage and sewerage system discharged to Tumpon settling lake which is used pumping system to convey/handling the waste waters to the southern downstream.

7. Land Use 55. The whole of Phnom Penh capital city is an urban, built up area and this extends to the southeast into some areas of Kandal Province. These areas are the only urban, built up areas in Kandal, while the nearby surrounding areas are agricultural land.

Figure 5: Land use maps of Kandal province and Phnom Penh Capital City

31

8. Ambient Air Quality and Noise 56. Main roads and access roads to DGTVET location is reinforced concrete paved roads that can be accessed almost surroundings the DGTVET building. The DGTVET building are located near women dormitory building and campus to the east and other government buildings of the MLVT Head Quarter Building to the south. Noise from vehicles, local community, and institution activities is not significant. B. Biological Environment

1. Forest Area 57. The land of DGTVET building has been developed for several years thus there are no more forest covers. Also, there are no forest covers in the land for the new building locations.

2. Flora

58. The flora within the premises and the vicinity of the DGTVET building and the nearby local communities are commonly found in Cambodia. These are the fruit trees such as banana, tamarind, mango trees, pomegranate, Longan and jack fruit.

3. Fauna 59. Farm and pet animals could not find in the surrounding community of DGTVET building/MLVT and government buildings. C. Socioeconomic Environment

1. Population 60. Phnom Penh, having the least land area among all project locations, is the second most populated. In terms of population density, it is the highest being the capital city, followed by Kandal. (Table 3). Table 3: Population statistics in the Project Area and Public TVET institutions

2. Health 61. The Ministry of Health of Cambodia has an established a network of health centers, referral hospitals and hospitals based on Provincial/Capital City and Operational Districts defined by geographic, economic and public health considerations. Operational Districts have different package activities provided at health centers and referral hospitals. Health centers and health posts provide minimum level primary health care services mainly for rural populations. In 2010, only 43% of health centers in the country provided the full minimum package of services. Referral hospitals in the province can be of provincial and district referral type which varies on number of staff, beds, medicines, equipment and clinical activities. The referral hospitals are expected to support primary care and have resources and expertise available for the district health services (WHO and MOH, 2012). 62. Accessibility to hospitals for DGTVET and MLVT staff is nearest and most accessible including pediatric hospital and Kosameak hospital (Table 4).

3. Water Supply and Sanitation 63. DGTVET/MLVT has access to water supply from Phnom Penh capital water supply system. For drinking, they buy bottled water. 64. DGTVET/MLVT has toilets with septic tank and connected with/to existing sewerage and drainage system of Phnom Penh capital. The DGTEVT has separated toilets for men and women in their offices.

4. Electric Supply 65. DGTVET/MLVT accesses to Phnom Penh electricity that is the state-owned energy supplier Electricité du Cambodge (EDC).

5. Economy 66. Cambodia is well-known for its garment and footwear industries. Most of its footwear factories are located in Phnom Penh capital city (26 factories), and in the neighboring areas of Kandal (4 factories). 67. Aside from footwear, garment industry (30 factories) is one of the major industries in Kandal Province (CDCa, 2019). Because of its proximity to Phnom Penh, it serves as an

33

economic belt of the capital. It has the Goldfame Pak Shun Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in Sa Ang District (CDCb, 2019).

6. Communication 68. DGTVET/MLVT has mobile network companies, landline phone companies and internet service providers. Some popular mobile network companies that can be found all over the country are Metfone, Smart and Mobitel. Landline companies to name a few are Telecom Cambodia and Camintel. And internet service providers include Click net, Metfone, Ezecom, Camintel, Cam Net and many more (CDCa, 2019). Telecommunication in Cambodia is very accessible and affordable.

V. ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES A. Introduction 69. This chapter presents the potential environmental impacts of the project during pre-construction, construction and operation phases of the project and the recommended mitigation measures to address the environmental impacts. The analysis of the environmental impacts is focused on the civil works associated with proposed new DGTVET multi-storey building. 70. The present/existing DGTVET building of the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training (MLVT) was constructed during 1960s by Soviet Union/Russia. It is in dilapidated status with a four-story building. Since the current building is full operating capacity, it cannot accommodate more staff of DGTVET and management/leaders of this DGTVET wished to build the new multi-storey building equipped with modern/technology equipment. 71. The main purposes of the site assessment are the following:

(i) Identify any potentially significant environmental impacts from the civil works associated with the construction of DGTVET multi-storey building;

(ii) Observe the existing condition and the surrounding environment of DGTVET multi-storey building; and

(iii) Consult and conduct survey interview on the primary stakeholders for their recommendations and suggestions on the implementation of the project.

72. Identification of significant impacts and formulation of the mitigation measure has been guided by the General Rapid Environmental Assessment (REA) Checklist and ADB SPS 2009. B. Anticipated Impacts and Mitigation Measures: Pre-construction Phase 73. Potential pre-construction phase impacts are primarily related to project siting, including land acquisition and resettlement and encroachment on historical, cultural, and archaeological sites and protected areas and the planning and details of the technical design.

1. Land acquisition and resettlement

34

74. The DGTVET multi-storey building does not have a significant impact on land acquisition and resettlement. The civil works for the DGTVET multi-storey building is located on existing site and government-owned land of the MLVT campus. 75. Access to the project site is through public right-of-way (ROW) and existing roads hence, land acquisition and encroachment on private property will not occur.

2. Technical detailed design standards 76. During the preparation of the initial environment examination, the final technical detailed design of the DGTVET multi-storey building is not yet identified. To ensure the structural integrity of the new structures, the design should comply with applicable national and international standards. Also, the technical detailed design of DGTVET multi-storey building and rehabilitation activities shall take into consideration the following: (i) provision of water supply which will meet applicable national drinking water quality standards; and (iii) construction of sanitation facilities should not be located near source of drinking water (at least 30 meters from the source of drinking water)3 and consistent with applicable national and international guidelines (i.e. World Health Organization’s Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Standards for Schools in Low-cost Settings); and (ii) design considerations should be consistent with the Master Plan of MLVT. C. Anticipated Impacts and Mitigation Measures: Construction Phase 77. The civil works anticipated during the construction activities are: (i) mainly the demolitions of existing DGTVET building and disposing the demolition debris to designated dumping site/landfill of awarded contractor, it is recommended to use modern plant/machine to break/crush the building with pouring the water in order to suppress the dusty and noisy. (ii) laying of foundations; (iii) casting of ground floor slab; (iv) construction of floor beams and floor slabs (1st, 2nd, 3rd, ….); (v) construction of roof beams and roofing; (vi) pipe network for the sanitation and water facilities for the dormitories; (vii) architectural components and finishes; (viii) electricity connection for DGTVET multi-storey building; and (viii) the trucks hauling the demolition debris should be recommended to conducted during night times or weekends/public holidays to avoid the traffic during business/worked days and (ix) transportation of materials to, from and within the site. 78. The following discussions are the anticipated impacts during the construction phase of DGTVET multi-storey building. The impacts associated with the construction activities can be minimized and/or avoided with the implementation of mitigation and management measures.

1. Air Quality 79. Construction activities may generate dust and gaseous pollutants. Dust generation is usually caused by a combination of demolishing/decommissioning of existing DGTVET building, on-site excavation and movement of earth materials, contact of construction equipment and machinery with bare soil, and exposure of bare soil and soil piles to wind. Excavation and backfilling works will also give rise to the increase in ground level concentration of total suspended particulate matter (TSP). Secondary sources of emission

35

may include exhaust from vehicles and equipment (such as carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides, particulate matter, nitrous oxides and hydrocarbon). To minimize the impacts on air quality, the following measures shall be implemented by the awarded contractor:

Water spraying on DGTVET building during breaking/demolition of building, road surface and work areas, as necessary, especially during dry weather;

Place stockpiled soil in areas shielded from prevailing winds; Truck carrying demolition debris, sands, soil, stone, and other loose materials should

be covered with tarpaulin; and Vehicles and equipment used during construction must be properly maintained and in

good condition to ensure optimal performance. Also, all vehicles and equipment used in the DGTVET multi-storey building construction activities shall have valid certifications indicating compliance to vehicle emission standards.

Ensure that truck tires, particularly for trucks carrying demolition debris, soil from excavation sites and construction areas, are cleaned to avoid spread of soil/dirt on roads which may cause muddy or dusty conditions during wet or dry periods, respectively.

2. Water Quality

80. Water sources are susceptible to pollution from run-off or soil erosion from stockpiled construction materials and spoils, domestic sewage from construction workers, assuming roughly 60 workers in the construction site, and each worker will use 120 liters of water per day hence the wastewaters will be generated to 6,120 liters per day (lost 15%), and accidental spillage of oil and other lubricants, wastewater from washing of construction equipment and vehicles and improper disposal of solid wastes. These wastewaters are likely to cause deterioration of surface water quality, flooding and flow obstruction of watercourses, including drainage and sewerage system. To minimize the impacts on water quality, the following measures shall be implemented by the awarded contractor:

Minimize spoil by balancing cut and fill wherever possible. Spoil shall only be disposed to areas approved by local authority;

Impacts due to soil erosion will be mitigated by careful grading of the construction site such that water is not allowed to run off of the construction site into adjacent drainages. Where excavated soils are onsite, adequate measures will be implemented to control runoff, including covering exposed soils, construction of settling basins, or temporary silt traps along the drainage leading to water bodies;

All earthworks must be conducted during the dry season to prevent the problem of soil run-off during monsoon season;

Implementation of solid wastes collection and disposal system, with provision for waste segregation. The construction contractor should provide enough waste bins for temporary waste storage. The MLVT/GDVET has CINTRI CAMBODIA to collect solid waste regularly after storage few days in her temporary storage at DGTVET.

Provision on adequate on-site sanitation facilities with septic tanks to prevent untreated sewage from being channeled into the drainage system;

Ensure that no cesspools4 will be created during construction activities; and

4 Cesspools are underground holes for the disposal of human waste. A cesspool is a covered watertight tank used for receiving and storing sewage and has no outlet. Raw, untreated sewage is discharged directly into the ground, where it can contaminate oceans, streams and groundwater.

36

Place storage areas for fuels and lubricants away from any drainage leading to water bodies. Designate area for equipment and vehicle washing and maintenance. The area should be provided with oil and grease traps to prevent oil from being washed into drainage/sewerage system. Waste/used oil should be stored in suitable containers in a safe place. Disposal of used oil should comply with national and local regulations.

Awarded contractors should provide sanitary toilets and sufficient water supply for workers and staff during construction.

3. Noise and Vibration

81. The major sources of noise and vibration are from the operations of demolition of existing DGTVET building, pile drivers, earth moving and excavation equipment, concrete mixers, cranes; and transporting equipment, materials and people. Noise and vibration from the construction activities may cause disruption of nearby buildings of MLTV and nuisance to nearby other government buildings and other sensitive receptors (i.e. woman dormitory and MLVT Head Quarter building). Also, noise and vibration due to the movement of vehicles along the access road may potentially result to nuisance. Vibration from the construction activities may also cause damage to other structures and buildings in the project area. To minimize noise and vibration impacts, the following measures shall be implemented by the awarded contractor:

Planning activities in consultation with the officials and staff of DGTVET and MLVT so that activities with the greatest potential to generate noise and vibration are planned during periods of the day that will result in least disturbance;

All construction equipment and vehicles shall be well maintained, regularly inspected for noise emissions, and shall be fitted with muffler and other appropriate noise suppression equipment consistent with applicable national and local regulations;

Impose speed limits on construction vehicles to minimize emissions along areas where sensitive receptors are located (i.e. others government buildings, woman dormitory and MLVT Head Quarter building)

Truck driver and equipment operators shall avoid the use of horns unless it is necessary to warn other road users or animals of the vehicle’s approach; and

Identify any buildings at risk from vibration damage and avoiding any pneumatic drills or heavy vehicles in the vicinity. Complete the civil works in these areas as quickly as possible.

If available and practicable, use hydraulic technology for drilling soil which generate low noise during construction. 4. Quarry and Borrow Sites

82. The following measures shall be implemented at quarry and borrow sites to minimize impacts on water quality, reduce dust emission during transport, minimize soil erosion and siltation of nearby water courses and avoid damage to productive land and ecologically sensitive areas:

Utilize readily available sources of materials. If awarded contractor procures materials from existing borrow pits and quarries, ensure that these conform to all relevant regulatory requirements;

Borrow areas and quarries (if these are being opened up exclusively for the project) must comply with environmental requirements, as applicable.

37

Borrow areas and quarries must not be located in ecologically and culturally protected areas.

5. Generation of Solid Wastes 83. The solid wastes that may be generated from the DGTVET multi-storey building construction and rehabilitation activities are the following: (i) demolition debris of existing DGTVET building estimated at 1,373m³ in volumes, it is recommended to use the modern plant/machine with water spraying during the demolition and hauling the demolition debris during nigh time and/or weekends/public holidays and construction wastes such excess excavated earth (spoils), discarded construction materials, cement bags, wood, steel, oils, fuels and other similar items; (ii) domestic wastes such as food wastes, paper, plastic bag, and plastic bottles. None of ACM at DGTVET building. 84. Improper solid waste management could cause odor and vermin problems, air pollution, risks to health and safety, flow obstruction of nearby watercourses and could negatively impact the landscape. The following mitigation measures to minimize impacts from waste generation shall be implemented by the awarded contractor:

Construction materials and stockpiles of soils should be covered to reduce material loss;

Stockpiles, lubricants, fuels, and other materials should be located away from steep slopes and water bodies and kept in adequately protected areas;

Avoid stockpiling any excess spoils. Excess excavated soils should be disposed to approved designated areas; as mentioned in previous section, the awarded contractor will be accountable for the designated dumping site of demolition debris.

Domestic solid wastes should be properly segregated in biodegradable and non-biodegradable for collection and disposal to solid waste disposal site or landfill approved by local authorities;

Prohibit open burning and littering or disposal of solid wastes into drainage/sewerage system and other watercourses;

Residual and hazardous wastes such as oils, fuels, and lubricants shall be disposed in disposal sites approved by local authorities;

Ensure that wastes are not haphazardly dumped within the project site and adjacent areas.

All types of solid wastes must be disposed properly into waste bins for temporary storage before transporting them to be disposed into dump site or landfill approved by local authorities.

Construction contractor must provide sufficient waste bins at DGTVET multi-storey building construction areas. Plastic bags and plastic bottles should be segregated for re-use or recycling.

6. Biological Environment

85. The construction activities are located on existing DGTVET building/MLVT and there are no protected areas, areas of ecological interest or environmental sensitive areas in or around the project site.

38

86. If during the project implementation, there will be cutting of trees or removal of vegetation, compensatory plantation for trees lost at a rate of two trees for every cut tree. Special attention shall be given to protecting giant or old trees and locally important trees (with religious importance) during implementation. The following mitigation measures shall be implemented by project design and awarded contractor:

Avoid cutting tree as much possible., Prohibit burning of cleared vegetation. Re-planting trees near the sub-project to compensate for lost trees, provide shade and

improve the landscape in the sub-project areas.

7. Traffic 87. Construction activities may result to an increase in movement of heavy vehicles for the transport of materials and equipment. Aside from the generation of noise and dust on hauling routes, the movement of construction vehicles will disrupt normal traffic patterns and expose the local community and the trainees and personnel in DGTVET multi-storey building to risk of injury or accidents. The following measures shall be implemented by the awarded contractor to minimize such impacts:

Using locally sourced materials, whenever possible, to minimize transport distances; The awarded contractor should closely coordinate with local authorities and with the

DGTVET for traffic management; Regular maintenance of vehicles and use of manufacturer approved parts to minimize

potentially serious accidents caused by malfunction or premature failure; The awarded contractor must select duly licensed drivers with good track record; The awarded contractor should require its drivers to drive following national traffic

policy and at lower speeds when passing through built-up and residential areas during daytimes and business days. The transportation of demolition debris is recommended to haul at night times, weekends and public holidays.

The awarded contractor must ensure that vehicles are regularly maintained and in good working condition.

The awarded contractor should regularly inform DGTVET and MLVT on project construction schedule. 8. Damage to Infrastructure

88. Transport of construction materials and other construction activities may cause damage to existing roads, drainage/sewerage system adjacent to the construction sites. The awarded contractor shall implement the following measures to minimize the damage to existing infrastructure:

The awarded contractor shall not allow overloading of trucks used for the transport of materials; and

The awarded contractor will be required to repair damaged infrastructure resulting from the transport of materials and other construction activities. These infrastructures should be reinstated to their original condition upon completion of construction works.

9. Occupational Health and Safety

VII. GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM 102. A grievance redress mechanism (GRM) has to be established to receive and facilitates the resolution of likely affected people’s (AP’s) concerns, complaints, and grievances on the implementation of the project. The GRM has to comply with the requirements of the ADB SPS (2009) and will aim to provide a time-bound and transparent mechanism to voice and resolve social and environmental concerns linked to the Project. 103. As a general policy, the implementing agency will work proactively toward preventing grievances through the implementation of impact mitigation measures to the anticipated impacts and address potential issues before they become grievances. Also, information of the GRM should be included in the public information campaign of the project.

44

A. Communication Channel 104. DGTVET, the implementing agency of the project will provide a number of formal and informal channels through which comments and/or complaints on the construction activities can be received. These include: TVET Website: Provide a homepage for the DGTVET multi-storey building project which

provides a Contact us link which members of the public can submit an email for feedback and/or grievances to the DGTVET appropriate departments and TVET institutions’ directors.

On-site contacts: A notice board will be posted at DGTVET multi-storey building site with the name and contact details of the awarded contractor, site engineer at DGTVET multi-storey building. These notice boards will be placed in a visible area known to the public and should be presented in both English and Khmer.

B. Type of Grievances 105. Any affected person (AP) will be able to submit a grievance with DGTVET if they believe that activities connected to the implementation of the DGTVET multi-storey building, specifically during the construction phase, is resulting to serious impact on the community, the environmental, or on the quality of life. Grievances could include:

Negative impacts on a person or government buildings/community/school nearby (i.e. noise pollution, dust emissions, disruption of classes)

Damage on private/state properties including land, tree or other buildings Dangers to health and safety or to the environment Damage to infrastructure such as road degradation and other infrastructures Failure to comply with standards or legal obligations Harassment of any nature and improper conduct or unethical behavior Threat to the peace and security in the DGTVET multi-storey building/MLTV and

Government buildings, school or community. C. Grievance Resolution Process 106. The following steps outline the procedures on receiving and facilitating the resolution of APs and groups’ concerns, complaints and grievances during demolishing/decommissioning of existing DGTVET building and new construction phases of the Project (Figure 6). 107. 1st Level Grievance: At Site Resolution. In case of grievances that are immediate and urgent in the perception of the complainant, the awarded contractor and/or site engineer will provide the most easily accessible or first level contact for quick resolution of grievances. A meeting may be held among the AP/group and awarded Contractor to discuss the whereabouts of the complaint. Immediate remedial action on the AP is expected from the awarded contractor. The resolution of the complaint should be done within one week (7 days). 108. 2nd Level Grievance: If no understanding or amicable solution can be reached within seven days from filing the complaint, the AP/group can elevate the complaint to the public or community relations officer of the Department of TVET Management. The Department of

45

TVET Management is under the Directorate General of TVET. Resolution of the complaints should be done within 15 days. 109. 3rd Level Grievance: If no understanding or amicable solution can be reached within fifteen days from filing the complaint, the AP/group can elevate the complaint to the Project Coordination Unit (PCU) safeguards officer 5 . The PCU in consultation with appointed officers/specialists will resolve the complaints within 30 days. 110. Judicial Process and ADB Accountability Mechanism. Despite the project GRM, an aggrieved person shall have access to the country's legal system at any stage, and accessing the country's legal system can run parallel to accessing the GRM and is not dependent on the negative outcome of the GRM. In the event that the established GRM is not in a position to resolve the issue, the affected person also can use the ADB Accountability Mechanism (AM) through directly contacting (in writing) the Complaint Receiving Officer (CRO) at ADB headquarters or the ADB Cambodia Resident Mission (CARM). The complaint can be submitted in any of the official languages of ADB’s developing member countries. The ADB Accountability Mechanism provides a forum where people adversely affected by ADB-assisted projects can raise issues and seek solutions to their problems and report alleged noncompliance of ADB’s operational policies and procedures. It consists of two separate but complimentary functions: consultation phase and compliance review phase. D. Documentation of GRM 111. At any stage of the GRM, the awarded contractors and the assigned secretary of the GRC and PCU should document all complaints recorded including the contact details of the complainant, date of filing the grievance, nature of grievance, minutes of meeting, agreed corrective action or resolution and signed statement of resolution or satisfaction from the complainant. 112. The number of grievances recorded and resolved and the outcomes will be disclosed in DGTVET and on the TVETSDP website, as well as reported in the monitoring reports submitted to ADB during the construction and operation of the Project. E. Periodic review and documentation of lessons learned 113. The designated safeguards focal person or community relations officer will periodically review the functioning of the GRM and record information on the effectiveness of the mechanism, especially on the project’s ability to prevent and address grievances. F. Costs 114. The executing agency will be responsible for all administrative fees and legal fees that will be incurred in the resolution of grievances if the APs win their case.

5 The Project Coordination Unit (PCU) composed of Project Director (Secretary of State, MLVT), Deputy Project Director (Undersecretary of State), Project Coordinator (First Deputy Director General, DGTVET), and Deputy Project Coordinator (Second Deputy Director General, DGTVET). The PCU will be supported by 33 DGTVET’s qualified staff.

46

G. Grievance Follow-up 115. DGTVET of MLVT may contact the complainant at a later stage to ensure that the activities continue to pose no further problems. If issues were not completely resolved, new complaints will be treated as new grievance and re-enter the GRM process. H. Confidentiality and Anonymity 116. An AP submitting a grievance may wish to raise concern in confidence. If the AP requested to protect his/her identity, it will not be disclosed without consent. Details of the submissions and allegations will remain secure within the team responsible for investigating the concern.

Figure 6: Grievance Redress Mechanism

VIII. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN 117. This section presents the mitigation measures, environmental monitoring plan, and institutional arrangements to address the environmental impacts of the project. The purpose of the environmental management plan (EMP) is to ensure that all activities associated in the project will not result to significant adverse environmental and social impacts. 118. A copy of the EMP and the official letter of environmental protection contract from MOE (Khmer version) and letter of construction permission from MLMUC must be kept on work sites at all times. This EMP and environmental protection contract as well as letter of construction permission from MLMUC will be included in the bid documents and will be further reviewed and updated during implementation.

IX. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION 126. The location of the construction activity is on existing DGTVET building and campus of MLTV. During the preparation of the initial environment examinations, the final detailed design has proposed a four-storey DGTVET building and reserves up to nine (9)-storey for future extensions, To ensure the structural integrity of the new structures, the design should comply with applicable national and international standards/guidelines and the technical design of DGTVET multi-storey building shall take into consideration the following: (i) follow the regulations and guidelines on building construction facilities of the Ministry of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction (MLMUC); (ii) construction of sanitation facilities conform with the regulations and guidelines of MLMUC (iii) follow applicable rules and regulations on structural integrity of building structures and (iv) design considerations should be consistent with the Master Plan of MLTV/DGTVET campus. 127. The anticipated impacts on the physical and biological environment are strictly implementing in the EMP. The following are the anticipated impacts and the corresponding mitigation measures during the construction phase of the Project:

(i) air pollution from the dust emissions from on-site excavation, movement of earth materials and emission from movement of heavy equipment and construction vehicles which will be mitigated by good construction practices such as water spraying on access road surface and work areas, covering all materials during transportation, and proper maintenance of construction vehicles and equipment;

(ii) water pollution from run-off or soil erosion from stockpiled construction

materials and wastewater from domestic sewerage of construction workers and accidental spillage of oil and other lubricants from washing of construction equipment which will be mitigated by covering exposed soils, construction of temporary silt traps, and provision of adequate and on-site sanitation facilities;

61

(iii) noise pollution from the construction activities resulting to disturbance of nearby

government buildings which will be mitigated with continuous consultation with the officials of DGTVET management and MLTV involved staff on the schedule and time of construction activities and the use of noise suppression on construction equipment;

(iv) Demolition debris of existing DGTVET building will be disposed at the

designated dumping site landfill, as requires bidding contractor/bidder to be accountable for dumping the demolition debris at their designated dumping site. The volume of demolition debris is approximate 1,373m³.

(v) The solid waste from the construction of proposed DGTVET multi-storey

building will be mitigated by the provision of waste bins in the construction site and the proper segregation, temporary storage, collection and disposal of solid wastes by the CINTRI CAMBODIA CO., LTD.

(vi) occupational health and safety in the construction site causing harm and danger to the lives and welfare of works which will be mitigated with the implementation of occupational and health safety plan including the provision of personal protective equipment to all workers and staff; COVID-19 managing risk and prevention has included in the civil work implementation of DGTVET multi-storey building as well as others current civil works implementation of public TVET institutions.

(vii) community health and safety such as the disruption of normal traffic patterns, damage or degradation of access roads from the transport of materials and risks from unauthorized entry to the construction resulting to accidents. There will be mitigated by the implementation of community health and safety plan which will includes the provision of fencing to enclose the area of civil works and posting warning signs and information in the construction area.

128. During the operations and maintenance of the DGTVET will ensure the implementation of proper segregation, collection and disposal of solid waste, connecting and accessing of Capital City water supply and sanitation facilities to all workers and staff, implementation of occupational health and safety to all workers and staff, and emergency response plan during fire and other incidents. 129. The mitigation and monitoring measures from the anticipated impacts are included in the environmental management and environmental monitoring plans (EMP and EMoP) which will be part of the bidding documents of the project. The schedule, budget and responsible authority for the implementation are also included in the EMP and EMoP. Also, the awarded contractor will require to prepare a Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) based on the updated EMP incorporated environmental protection contract (EPC) approved by the Ministry of Environment (MOE), including guidance from the Ministry of Land Management Urban Planning and Construction (MLMUPC) prior to the construction activities. The concerns and recommendations of the primary stakeholders were also incorporated in the EMP and a grievance redress mechanism (GRM) is also established to address and facilitate complaints in a timely and transparent manner during the construction phase of the Project.

62

130. Results of the initial environment examination show that the construction of the DGTVET multi-storey building will not result to significant adverse environmental impacts. The anticipated impacts during the construction of the project can be easily mitigated with the implementation of EMP and EMoP. References
