On August 12, 2010, at Preah Vihear Provincial Hall, a meeting was held to discuss the presentation of the report on the first environmental and social impact assessment. There were 12 participants from government and private institutions, and representatives of Delcom (Kampuchea) PTE. Ltd.

An analysis of changes in the forest cover status of the entire concession area over the last 14 years, using the UNDP Dataset 1992-93, 1996-97 and the FA GIS Dataset 2002 and 2006, shows that the forest cover status across the entire concession area has been lost by 90 hectares, or 90 percent, compared to the total forest cover (or evergreen forest) area.

The mining concession area is small (100 hectares). The ecological resources are a dry​ mixed​ deciduous​ forest and semi-degraded. The gold mine exploration and exploitation project is considered to be a medium-scale project or Category B. After mining, the company will rehabilitate the land and reforest it (one year required), so the area will again be covered with forest cover.

The project planned to import a mining grinding machine with a capacity of milling capacity of 125 microns of mines and capable of breaking 3,000 tons of gold per month. Build office (accommodation of the site director, key staff, kitchen, pits, mining wells, workshop, storage of generator, storage of chemical substances, storage of explosives, mining wastewater treatment site, and mining transportation system. The company plans to invest USD 2.45 million in preparing the gold productivity system, local infrastructure, and road construction.

According to project management measures, the project owner is responsible for the environmental management of the project, while the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Industry, Mines and Energy, and the provincial authorities monitor the implementation of the project. The mitigation strategies are reforestation after the site and the mine pit are closed. Continuity of noise and vibration released by the machinery and hunting through the implementation of some measures surrounding the pits bunker prohibits or strictly instructs the workers and the armed forces employed there not to hunt for food. Reducing toxic emissions must be installed on all plants. Reduce soil erosion impacts in the extraction stage of extraction of rock and waste disposal, etc.

1/ The new passenger pier facility could also enable the consolidation of the existing small cargo port just south of Kampot, thereby providing increased tourist and cargo access to Kampot and the area. By using the new pier, the existing small cargo fleet would have year-round, 24-hour access to the port and would not have to continue with the current practice of offloading cargo downstream during low tide or dry season conditions. 2/ The existing cargo pier will not be closed. The environmental improvements at the crab market will significantly increase the quality of the beach area by ending the current practice of discharging raw sewage from the market and food stalls to the beach area. This, in turn, will improve water quality for the near-shore cage storage areas for crab for the market and improve the overall aesthetics of the area for tourism development.

1/ The pier and associated facilities will create 2,500 tourism-related jobs through expanded land and sea transportation services, customs and immigration facilities, and expansion of other tourism services in Kampot. Residents of the commune Chum Kriel, with a population of 5,282, will benefit from new tourism-related economic opportunities. The salt farmers who live along the access road will benefit from more affordable and reliable transportation options. 2/ The environmental improvements at the crab market will significantly increase the quality of the beach area by ending the current practice of discharging raw sewage from the market and food stalls to the beach area. This, in turn, will improve water quality for the near-shore cage storage areas for crab for the market and improve the overall aesthetics of the area for tourism development. T he project will improve sanitation and environmental conditions for the 33 shops/restaurants and 300 mobile vendors presently operating at the crab market, and is expected benefit upwards of 12,700 people living in the area adjacent to the market area.

The environmental concerns or issues associated with the Kampot and Kep subprojects consisted of the following three avenues of inquiry and data collection: a/ as part of the household and village leader interviews conducted by the social development tea, b/ seperate group consultations with provincial agencies and other stakeholders by social development team and an additional environmental research assistant hired during the interim mission, and c/ individual interviews conducted by the International Environment specialist with provincial and national environmental management agencies.

In the environmental management plan (EMP), a review of institutional capacity and needs indicates that there is little experience and capacity for environmental assessment and management amongst national counterparts responsible for the implementation of the EMP, the DOT/PIU and DPWT in Kampot province. There are no dedicated environmental staff in the DOT, and thus, the PIU. The DDSC, with the safeguards specialists of the subproject, will deliver training courses to the responsible DOT/PIU staff. The purpose of the course is to strengthen the ability of the PIU/PMU to oversee the implementation of the EMP by construction contractors and the EMC. In addition to the sub-project of the passenger pier development in Kampot, the source demonstrates an estimated total budget of USD 68,000 for an environmental monitoring plan covering pre-construction, construction, and post-construction operation phases. Meanwhile, the implementation of the EMP for the Crab Market improvements in Kep displays the estimated EMP budget of USD 76,500, with activities of pre-construction, construction, post-construction, and additional civil works improvement phases. Turning to the institutional capacity review and needs at Kep province. The report reveals a similar review of the Kampot project on the capacity to implement the EMP. The DDSC, with the safeguards specialist of the Kep subproject, will also deliver the training course to the DOT/PIU and DPWT staff.

1/ Key impact mitigation measures of the pre-construction phase are: - Initiation of the project’s resettlement plan
- Groundwater and soil investigation at the crab market
- Completion of detailed designs of the subprojects
and - Updating and initiation of the EMPs. 2/ Subproject-specific Construction Impacts and Mitigations: Passenger pier facility - Surface water quality: associated buildings and car park could cause siltation to the Teuk Chhou River and degrade water quality. To place parallel silt curtains on the construction site to the shore can restrict siltation from civil works. During the construction of pier and lateral embankments, management and rules which developed and implemented by contractors should not dispose any construction waste into the Teuk Chhou River. Construction vehicle traffic should place temporary berms or plastic fencing to prevent erosion, salt farms, land uses. Effluent from the ABR should pass through a culvert or PVC pipes to an artificial wetlands. - Mangrove removal and restoration: scattered mangroves on the pier site east of the Teuk Chhou River will be removed for pier facilities, kept important mangrove design and offset the loss of mangrove to restore under activities of the Children and Women Development Centre (CWDC). - Road and river traffic disruption: develop a construction vehicles traffic management plan with ongoing traffic flow, speed limts traffic, and dedicated lands for pier construction-related boat activity. Crab market environmental improvements - Coastal zone and water quality: the excavated soil for ABR septic tanks is carried offsite to DOE-approved disposal areas. Inshore area adjacent to the crab market should be placed with temporary berms or plastic fencing. A potential significant issue with the ABR septic system is to be determined during detailed design phase of the required gallery infiltration and its infiltration gallery of the ABR must be located in a proper site and not contaminate local groundwater.

Kampot project is an estimated total budget of US$68,000 requiring for the implementation of the Environmental Monitoring Plan. Kep project is an estimated total budget of US$15,000 requiring for capacity building for environmental management. - The total cost of resettlement is estimated at $11,028. Of this total $4,950 is the estimated direct cost of compensation for business losses, $4,240 is the implementation cost, and $1,838 (20%) has been allocated for contingency (Crab market project) -
