his own experience has shown that the usual project has no provisions for forc-
ing compliance. A good example is the experience of the World Bank with the
major Xiaolangdi Dam Project on the Yellow River in China
160
,whichwas
built by three international contractors who had signed contracts for compliance
without intending to do so.The Bank's loan codicils provided for routine monitor-
ing/enforcement, but it was not easy to get the CCs to understand they would have
to set up their own competent EMOs. Under Bank pressure, they all came around
to satisfactory compliance, including preparation of detailed monthly reports giv-
ing compliance details including management of all complaints by people and
agencies affected.
Box 4.8 “Illustration of Requirements to be included in Construction Contracts
to Ensure Compliance by Construction Contractor for Implementing Environ-
mental Protection Measures Specified in Approved EIA” illustrates the types of
requirements that need to be included in the CC's contract, including specific
details for each EPM so the CC understands clearly what must be done to gain
performance approval. Note that a special system is needed for management of
the monitoring of the CC's performance on EPMs, which is carried out by a chief
environmental construction inspector, but this inspector must work through and
in collaboration with the project's chief supervisor of construction, because it is
essential that the CC will report only to a single construction supervisor boss.
