1/ The new passenger pier facility could also enable consolidation the existing small cargo port just south of Kampot there by 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 – 24hr access to the port and will not have to continue with the current practice of off-loading 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 jobs20through 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 that 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.

In environmental management plan (EMP), a review on 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 courese is to strengthen the ability of the PIU/PMU to oversee implementation of the EMP by construction contractors, and the EMC. In additon to the sub-project of the passenger pier development in Kampot, the source demonstrates with an estimated total budget of US$68,000 for environmental monitoring plan coving on pre-construction, construction, and post-construction operation phases. Meanwhile, the implementation of the EMP for the Crab Market improvements in Kep displays with the estimated EMP budget of US$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 with a similar review of the Kampot project on the capacity to implement of 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: 1) Initiation of the project’s resettlement plan
2) Groundwater and soils investigation at crab market
3) Completion of detailed designs of the subprojects
and 4) 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, it can restrict siltation from civil works. During 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) -
