The Second Road Assets Management Project (RAMP-II) will support the scaling up of the original RAMP project’s achievements to ensure continued effective use of the rehabilitated national (NR) and provincial road (PR) network in support of the economic development in Cambodia.
... See More + The RAMP-II will improve the climate resilience and longevity of about 218 km of National Roads 3 and 7 through the strengthening, repair and maintenance (through three-year performance based maintenance contracts) of road surfaces, and installation of about 90 km of side-drainage in flood prone areas along the roads. Some of the negative impacts include: road maintenance operations may potentially affect the environment temporarily in a number of ways. For example, environmental concerns can stem initially from poor road design and planning, delayed mobilization of construction crews, lack of construction camp maintenance, storage and handling of construction wastes and hazardous materials, location of borrow pits and quarry sites, associated earthworks, and drainage design. Poorly executed maintenance activities may create localized soil erosion problems affecting streams or other water bodies; lack of clear practical plans for environmental management will create opportunities for inappropriate disposal of solid waste materials and could lead to lack of controls of noise, emissions and dust which can create a nuisance for individuals and communities. Mitigation measures include: locate borrow areas away from any residential or other environmentally sensitive areas such as hospitals, intensive livestock production areas or wildlife breeding areas; also avoid farmlands or forests as much as possible. Restrict work to daylight hours and limit the size and frequency of any blasting; borrow areas will be restored and re-vegetated. Where there are open manholes or excavation for side drains in front of shops/houses, contractor shall then: 1) cover them quickly or provide proper and clear sign to avoid danger to cyclists or pedestrians, especially at night time, and provide temporary access road to the shops/houses to maintain normal business and living activities in the communities. The implementation results should be reported periodically; and wherever possible, refueling will be carried out at a fuel storage area and not permitted within or adjacent to watercourses.

Some of the negative impacts and mitigation measures include: Community members have the right to make a contribution of their land or other assets, without seeking or being given compensation. This can often be justified because the road rehabilitation will either increase the value of the remaining property or provide some other direct benefit to the affected people. Voluntary contribution is an act of informed consent. Implementing agencies must assure that voluntary contributions are made with the prior knowledge on the part of the person who will donate assets that other options are available, and are obtained without coercion or duress. In addition to labor assistance for removal and reparation of structure the two vulnerable AHs will receive special assistance for the disruption of her business during construction. Since they will loss income resulted from business disruption the special assistance will be given in the form of living allowance. Thus, each vulnerable AH will receive a living allowance of 20kg rice per 5 persons per month for one month (or equivalent to $50 in cash). During construction, landless AHs will receive assistance for shifting back her stall. During the consultation, consensus and agreement was reached with the two vulnerable AHs on this package of compensation and support to be provided for them by the Ministry of Public Works and Transport (MPWT).
