Social alnd environmental impacts |
Positive impacts on the environment and society include:
-Electricity: 400 MW turbine and total power 1953.9 GWh
-Rural Infrastructure: The project will build a new road to the bypass and bridge project area on the east side of the Sesan River to connect the resettlement area of Srekor village and Khsach Thmey village. The project also builds all community facilities in the resettlement area, including community schools, pagodas, roads, and wells, to a number and standards equivalent to or better than what will be destroyed in the village, which will be flooded.
-Employment: Employment for community workers / people from 2010 to 2014 with a total of approximately 9,500
- Tourism: Natural resources in and around the lake, infrastructure projects and visits to hydropower plants, fishing
-Revenue: Selling local products, tourism activities, construction contractors

Environmental management plan |
The Environmental Management Plan (EMP) provides a guide for monitoring and mitigation measures for pre-construction, post-construction and project operation. EMPs include institutional summaries, mitigation measures, and monitoring programs. Mitigation measures and monitoring programs will include analysis of responsible institutions and budgets. |
Development plan |
The Lower Sesan II hydropower project includes the following key components:
• The main dam is an earthen dam with a uniform length of 8 km, 83 m (compared to sea level) and 8 m wide. In front of the river, the dam is made of reinforced concrete.
• Power plant on the left bank equipped with 5 turbines, each with a capacity of 80 MW
• Rectangular span structure with dimensions of 15m x 16m and 12 gates in accordance with the hydrological analysis of the river flow.
• Reservoirs with a storage capacity of 1.79 billion cubic meters and a submerged area of 335 km2 when the water level in the reservoir reaches a height of 75 m.
• Other accessories include water inlet, shutter valve, 220Kv switch yard, tailrace drain, administration building and operating building.
• Other construction compensation for project construction
- Land and rock excavation site is located in the project reservoir area
- The sand extraction site from the first site is 500 meters behind the dam and the second site is on the Srepok River in front of the dam, more than 3 km.
- Solid waste management: Construction of landfills in each project location based on the waste management standards of the Ministry of Environment after filling and compacted soil.
- Toilets: Build toilets suitable for workers and staff, the whole project, and the site and accommodation.
- Sewage: Build a mixed reservoir to collect wastewater from various activities of the project, including wastewater from homes, with disinfectants if necessary.
- Water supply (drinking water): Water purification, filtration, and disinfection and is provided to purify the Sesan River water for cooking and eating needs.
- Power supply: Use the generator of the project. |
Mitigation strategies |
The project owner will implement the following mitigation measures for the environmental and social impacts:
- Reduce land areas that are affected by reservoirs and resettlement areas by reducing dam heights as much as possible
- The resettlement area and the road between National Road No. 8 shall be located in the area with the least environmental impact and the construction budget will be the burden of the dam construction company.
- Establish a research and hatching station next to the project area and have a program to monitor fish production and fishery resources.
- The resettlement is done in accordance with the resettlement management plan, and the land and infrastructure provided must be the same as or better than the land and infrastructure that the villagers had before.
- Compensation will be provided in consultation with the affected villagers and in accordance with the resettlement plan form approved by the IRC / MEF and inter-ministerial.
- Environmental funds will be paid to the Royal Government of Cambodia for unforeseen rehabilitation and environmental management plans, including reforestation or local forest protection and wildlife conservation programs.
- The agreement between the project owner and the land and forest concession owner must reach an agreement on the land or forest concession area that will be flooded by the reservoir before the dam is built.
- Dams must be designed and built to withstand local earthquakes.
You clear explosive remnants and unexploded ordnance at resettlement sites and landfills and do so to avoid health risks.
Work with inter-ministerial and local authorities to develop a plan for collecting valuable timber from the forest to be submerged in reservoirs for other purposes before flooding.
Proper erosion and erosion control and waste management practices will be implemented, especially during the construction phase.
Check the quality and quantity of water that will be done regularly above and below the dam site and any damage to the water quality must be improved immediately.
Road damage caused by the project traffic will have to be repaired immediately and the cost of repair is the responsibility of the project owner.
The project owner will prepare an order for the project workers to respect the culture and traditions of the local community.
The project owner will have to prepare signs for all roads, the signs must also indicate the use of roads in accordance with all road rules, which must strictly adhere to traffic regulations, especially speed limits.
Health centers will be provided in the project area for screening and treatment of project workers and local people to prevent and treat the spread of disease, especially to local communities.
Properly manage all construction site waste and human waste from workers' camps.
Provide agricultural support programs to villagers living along the Sesan and Srepok rivers in Ratanakkiri and Mondulkiri provinces, such as (1) raising animals: cattle, chickens, ducks, pigs and other livestock. (2) Cultivation of rice, vegetables and other crops. |
