128 RECOMMENDATIONS • Elevated levels of heavy metals have been detected downstream from navigation activities; • Solid wastes are emerging threats to public health and water quality in the LMB; • A number of ports and terminals built before EIA rules and regulations were implemented are not required to submit EMP to national line agencies to ensure compliance with standards for water quality, waste water and pollution prevention. • There are no trans-boundary requirements for EIA; • Monitoring of ports, terminals and vessel operations needs to be improved; and • Cooperation between the national line agencies responsible for environmental protection and water resources and those responsible for inland waterborne transport and waterway safety needs to be enhanced. The MRC has established a Water Quality Monitoring Network (WQMN) in the Member Countries with the purpose of providing timely data and information on the status and changes in water quality of the Mekong River Basin. The MRC has published a number of important water quality reports. The following references were used to prepare the Risk Analysis and these recommendations for the environment: • MRC Technical Paper No 15: Diagnostic Study of the Lower Mekong Basin; • The Mekong River Report Card on Water Quality (2000-2006); • MRC Technical Paper No 19: An Assessment of Water quality in the Lower Mekong Basin; and • MRC State of the Basin Report, 2010. These references, outcomes from the risk analysis and studies from the Danube River and Rhine River were taken into account when preparing the recommendations. 6.3 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND MONITORING There are many challenges in the LMB, firstly to determine the impacts of increased navigation and secondly to ensure that adequate environmental protection measures are implemented at ports and terminals and onboard vessels to protect water quality and the vast fisheries and natural resources. The MRC Navigation Programme (NAP) will need to work closely with Member Countries, key stakeholders, the MRC Environment Programme (EP), other programmes and the private sector to ensure the recommendations for environmental management and monitoring can be implemented effectively. 6.3.1 Water Quality Monitoring RECOMMENDATION Enhance water quality monitoring to determine oil spill pollution and impacts of increased navigation and transport of dangerous goods. CHALLENGE The MRC Water Quality Monitoring Network (WQMN) has detected human impacts on water quality. Heavy metals and other industrial contaminants have been detected downstream of navigation activities. The source of the pollution cannot be confirmed. Currently the impacts of navigation on
ENVIRONMENT 129 water quality are difficult to determine under the WQMN and water-quality monitoring in Member Countries. There are no programmes in the Member Countries to investigate soil contamination, surface water quality and groundwater monitoring in the vicinity of ports, petroleum terminals and areas with high levels of IWT. Figure 19 below represents the pollution hotspots in relation to the transport of dangerous goods, cargo and passenger transport in the LMB.
