The screening has also resulted in categorizing the subproject as a Category B project. In addition, the Bank s requirements on public consultation and information disclosure will need to be followed. Environmental Assessment (OP/BP 4.01): Environmental Assessment (EA) is an umbrella policy for the Bank s safeguard policies. The overarching objective is to ensure that Bank-financed projects are environmentally sound and sustainable, and that decision-making is improved through appropriate analysis of actions and of their likely environmental impacts. The EA process is intended to identify, avoid and mitigate potential impacts of Bank operations. EA takes into account the natural environment (air, water, and land); human health and safety; social aspects (involuntary resettlement, indigenous peoples, and physical cultural resources); and transboundary and global environmental aspects. EA considers natural and social aspects in an integrated way. This subproject triggers OP 4.01 because it involves the construction and operation of a high-voltage substation and connecting overhead transmission lines, requiring the identification, mitigation and monitoring of potential adverse environmental and social Power Engineering Consulting Joint Stock Company 3 5

7 Subproject of " Improvement and Upgrading of the Cai Lay - Cao Lanh 220kV transmission line" impacts. As required by OP 4.01 and the government EA regulation, the subproject has prepared an Environmental Protection Commitment (EPC) and an EMP that meet the Government s and the World Bank s safeguards requirements. By the TEP appraisal, the subproject EPC and draft EMP were disclosed locally at the subproject sites and at the Bank s InfoShop in Washington DC on January 24, 2014 as required by OP 4.01 and the Bank s policy on access to information.the final subproject final EPC and EMP were disclosed locally at the subproject sites, at the Bank s InfoShop, and the Vietnam Development Information Center on April 18, Involuntary Resettlement (OP/BP 4.12) The Involuntary Resettlement policy seeks to prevent severe long-term hardship, impoverishment, and environmental damage to the affected peoples during involuntary resettlement. OP 4.12 applies whether or not affected persons must move to another location. The Bank describes all these processes and outcomes as involuntary resettlement, or simply resettlement, even when people are not forced to move. Resettlement is involuntary when the government has the right to expropriate land or other assets and when affected people do not have the option to retain the livelihood situation that they have. This policy is triggered because the subproject it would have impacts involving the temporary and permanent involuntary taking of land and the loss of structures and assets associated with the land for the construction of the substation and the associated connecting line. By appraisal, the subproject has prepared and disclosed a RP locally at the subproject sites and at the Bank s InfoShop in Washington DC on January 24, The RP includes the measures to ensure that displaced people are: (i) informed about the options regarding resettlement; (ii) consulted and offered alternative resettlement choices; and (iii) provided with effective compensation and livelihood restoration. World Bank Group Environmental, Health, and Safety Guidelines World Bank-financed projects should also take into account the World Bank Group Environmental, Health, and SafetyGuidelines 1 (known as the "EHS Guidelines"). The EHS Guidelines are technical reference documents with general and industry-specific examples of Good International Industry Practice. The EHS Guidelines contain the performance levels and measures that are normally acceptable to the World Bank Group and are generally considered to be achievable in new facilities at reasonable costs by existing technology. The environmental assessment process may recommend alternative (higher or lower) levels or measures, which, if acceptable to the World Bank, become project- or site-specific requirements. This subproject should to be conforming the Environmental, Health, and Safety Guidelines for Electric Power Transmission and Distribution and General EHS Guidelines. 3. SUBPROJECT DESCRIPTION 3.1.

25 Subproject of " Improvement and Upgrading of the Cai Lay - Cao Lanh 220kV transmission line" Geographical location and population of the two provinces are as follows: Tien Giang Province Tien Giang is a coastal province of the Mekong Delta in Southern Vietnam, with a large area belonging to My Tho province earlier. However, the entire area of Tien Giang province today belonged to My Tho province including Go Cong town in the past. Tien Giang province is in the Mekong River delta and also is the major economic region of Southern Vietnam, 70 km from Ho Chi Minh City to the south and 90 km from Can Tho city to the north. Tien Giang province is located in 10 26' N ' E. It borders Long An province in the north, Dong Thap province in the west, Ben Tre and Vinh Long in the south, Ho Chi Minh City in the north east, the East Sea in the southeast. Tien Giang province has been planned by the Government as one of the 8 key economic provinces in the southern. Tien Giang province comprises 11 administrative units including 1 city (My Tho), 2 towns (Go Cong, Cai Lay) and 8 districts (Cai Be, Go Cong Dong, Go Cong Tay, Cho Gao, Chau Thanh, Tan Phuoc, Cai Lay, Tan Phu Dong). Dong Thap Province Dong Thap province is one of 13 provinces in the the Mekong Delta, it has two large rivers flowing through the province including the Tien river with 114 km length and the Hau river with 30km length. Regarding geographical boundaries, Dong Thap province borders Cambodia with the length of 48.7km in the north, Vinh Long and Can Tho in the south, An Giang Province in the west, Long An and Tien Giang in the east. Total natural area of Dong Thap is 3, km2, equipvalent to 8.17% of the Mekong Delta area and 0.99% of the country area. Maximum length from north to south is 96km and the largest width from east to west is 84km. The population of Dong Thap Province was million in 2011, equivalent to 1.95% of the country's population and 9.5% of the Mekong Delta's population. Dong Thap province is divided into twelve administrative units including: 1 city (Cao Lanh), 2 towns (Sa Dec and Hong Ngu) and 9 districts comprising: Tan Hong, Hong Ngu, Tam Nong, Thanh Binh, Thap Muoi, Cao Lanh, Lap Vo, Lai Vung Chau Thanh. The whole province has 119 communes, 9 towns and 17 wards Topography Tien Giang Province The topography of Tien Giang Province is flat, with slope lower than 1% and elevation varies from 0 meters to 1.6 meters above sea level, the common elevation is from 0.8m to 1.1m. In general, the whole area's slope direction is not clear, however there are sub-areas with low-lying terrain or hills higher than the general terrain, besides there are many dunes in bow shape with the popular elevation from 0.9 to 1.1m standing out above the surrounding plains. Land of the province is largely neutral alluvial soil, less acidic along the Tien River accounting for about 53% of the provincial area. Tien Giang province has convenient source Power Engineering Consulting Joint Stock Company 3 24

Dong Thap Province The terrain of Dong Thap Province is relatively flat with common elevation from 1 to 2m above sea level. The topography is divided into two major regions: one in the north of the Tien River and the other in the south of the Tien River. Dong Thap Province benefits from a large river (the Tien River), channel and spring system, frequently silt-aggraded soil, and permanently fresh and non-saline water source Hydro- meteorological characteristics Tien Giang and Dong Thap provinces are located in the tropical climate zone. In a year, there are two distinct seasons: rainy season from May to November, dry season from December to April of the following year. Due to the provinces' topography lying in the Mekong Delta and being crossed by the Tien river and Hau River so they are greatly affected by these two rivers. The hydrologic regime is divided into 2 seasons: exhausted season from December to June of the following year and flood season from July to November.

Since 1995, EVN does not allow to buy equipment containing PCB. Therefore there will not be PCBs containing equipment used for the Subproject; - Non of Subproject component is replacement or removal of old equipment so there will be no risk of encountering of PCB equipment; - Subproject will not use chemicals or explosives; None 5 Impact on historical and cultural properties None None - There are no historical and cultural resources near and inside the Subproject area None 6 Health risks caused by Unexploded Ordnance (UXOs) Medium Short The implementation of the construction of transmission lines in the area of types of UXOs left from the war could lead to serious consequences, dangerous to human life and property of the workers and people local, adversely affect the environmental quality of the area. Before commencing construction activities, the project will deal with specialized military units to perform leakage find mines and explosives in the area all nail column, the total area of demining, animals explosion in the project area is 39,248 m 2. Therefore, the risk of accident due to residual mine is low High Construction phase 7 Surface water contamination. Medium Short - The surface water can be more turbid due to soil residues, particles generated from excavation of poles foundations. These particles flow into rivers, streams, lakes, ponds. - The subproject crosses the ditchabout 8.5m length (section G6-G7 in Thuan An town). These are source of surface water that might be more turbid in rainy season due to washing out of subproject s construction materials, excavated soil. - Though the transmission line will cross the ditch but foundations are designed about m far from ditch shores.

At the sites near fishponds, the subproject foundations will construct far from ponds (above 50 m). From the foundation sites to fish ponds are trees, rice fields so potential for debris washed out from subproject excavation to these ponds is also low. - Topography of subproject site is plain with good vegetation cover. - Subproject sites near surface water bodies are also plain so potential for soil erosion, material washing out is low. - Excavation is planned to do in dry season. Excesses soil will be reused to fill in the poles foundations. Thus there will be no soil, rock left after the subproject construction. - No tower will be constructed in ditch. - Thus the impact on surface water pollution in the subproject area is assessed as medium and can be mitigated. Medium Short - Noise and vibration are caused by: equipment, material transportation, subproject's vehicles, pole's erection and cable's pulling, generators (if there are any) - Most part of the 220 kv line is designed to be far from residential areas as well as the concentration of human activities such as towns and townships. Main part of the transmission line will be far from residential areas. - The main work will be done manually or by small scale machines. Duration of construction for each site at pole s foundation is short from 2 or 3 days for foundation excavation, 5 days for pouring concrete, 2 or 3 days for cable pulling. Noise and vibration (if there is any) will be caused only during very short period of time in each foundation position; - Owing to these mentioned reasons, the noise and vibration impact caused by the subproject is considered as medium.

The transportation of raw materials, construction materials and equipments for the subproject is relatively significant. It also causes dust and air pollution. 11 Agricultural production due to temporary acquisition of productive land 12 Traffic disturbance in roads and water ways Medium Medium - Some of productive land will be mobilized for construction purpose in a short period of time. - Total amount of acquired cultivated land is 48,000 m 2 in Tan Uyen district and is 104,400 m 2 in Thuan An town. - Construction duration of the subproject is about 12 months (the next 3 months are used for installation of equipment and accessories). Therefore the temporary acquisition of productive land will only cause damages in a season or maximum 02 seasons of producing - Subproject owner has planned and will implement the compensation for the land acquisition. Medium Short - Transportation of material and equipment, soil excavation and cable pulling activities will disturb the normal traffic in the areas during short period of time; - In open areas, the transportation of construction materials is generally easy due to relatively developed traffic system in the subproject area; - Conditions for transportation of material and equipment are generally convenient.

Walking trails in the area of agricultural land, orchards are generally well developed. - The transportation of construction materials and equipments for the subproject will not exceed the capacity of the existing traffic flow in the area. Small Short - Transportation of construction materials with high frequency may cause damage to the existing rural roads; - Raw materials are transported by trucks along the inter-provincial and inter-district roads. At the foundations far from roads, materials are moved manually to construction positions. Therefore, the frequency of transport just increases very little on the soil roads with not good quality so subproject activities will not cause serious impacts on these roads. - Currently, the local government and people supervise the management of rural roads relatively well. Large load transportations are not allowed to run through roads whose quality is not good enough. - This is also an issue that the contractors have to comply and thoroughly transporting options to avoid rural road degradation. Small Short Excess soil and materials will be used for poles foundations filling. The volume of excess soil is often not enough for foundations, sometimes it has to purchase and transport from other places. Therefore it could be said that impact is in minor level. Small Short The process of dismantling the 144 columns of the existing Cai Lay - Cao Lanh single circuit 220kv will incurred: steel columns. - Steel nails recovered from 14 existing positions coincide with the new foundation. - Conductors, insulators and accessories chain of the existing 220kV line.

When the transmission line goes into operation, there could have potential risks affecting the operation of travelling ships in the section crossing rivers. However, the process of design and construction for the transmission line was complied with Decree No.14/2014/ND-CP dated February 26, 2014 on the clearance of the transmission line and Document No. 617/CCDTNDPN-KT on October 27, 2010 of Southern Internal Waterway Department on the clearance height for navigability. Warning boards are attached on the transmission line section crossing the river as prescribed and regularly checked during the operation phase, so risks affecting the operation of travelling ships are small and can be controlled. Small Long - No PCBs containing oil will be used during the subproject s construction and operation; - During subproject operation, some chemical will be used such as accumulators, batteries, dielectric oil, lubricants etc. These equipment and chemicals will be registered and managed as regulated by Circular 12/2011/TT-BTNMT dated 14/4/2011 on Management of hazardous wastes.
