Social alnd environmental impacts The project will provide a sustainable power supply, construct new access roads to the project site, provide job to Cambodian workers, rehabilitate infrastructures roads, culverts, bridges, and other infrastructure to increase the potential value of the ecotourism. The project will create income for the local and national people due to the provision of a job in the construction and operation stages. The output through an annual energy production of 1953.9 GWh will give a positive impact on the economic development of Cambodia.
Employment opportunity The project will need a workforce of 1300 people during the four years of the construction period.
Public participation The public was consulted three times about the dam proposal during the preparation of the EIA. The first time was a public meeting with the 5 most affected communes held by KCC in early February 2008. The second time was held by PECC during April 2008, and the third consultant was on May 2008 with the representative of the government, NGOs, private sector and community.
Land converted from The dam will cause a flood of 335 square kilometers, including 40-60 cubic meters of inundations across the Sesan and Srepok riverside, and floods four villages and partially floods in three villages.
Environmental management plan The environmental management plan consists of institutional arrangements, a summary of mitigation measures, and monitoring programs. The mitigation measure and monitoring programs will include the frequency schedule institution and budget.

Mitigation strategies The study team used the environmental checklist in the EIA guideline of ADB 2003 for Hydropower projects. The mitigation measures for each impact are designed to reduce the impacts as much as possible. Each environmental impact is described followed by recommended mitigation measures for the different project phases: pre-construction, construction, and operation.
