4 PART 1 PROJECT INTRODUCTION 1. Project objectives Main Project objective of the substation would enable the supply of electricity for local load demand, local industrial zones, meeting load demand of Vinh Phuc province. The substation plays an important role on transmission electricity from national power grid, continuously safely supply electricity for power demand center in the area; reduction of power loss; increasing safety for power system. 2. Location of the substation Vinh Tuong substation is located in one rice field of Tho Tang commune, Vinh Tuong district, next to the internal road of newly planned zone of Vinh T uong district and the substation is 1.5 km far from national road N Route alignment 3.1. Connection from Viet Tri- Dong Anh 110 kv power line to the substation 110kV power line is taken directly from 110 kv Viet Tri- Dong Anh power line and will supply for Vinh Tuong 110 kv substation. The power line is double power line in order to ensure transmission capacity and reliability. The starting point is 111m far from tower No 178 of 110 kv Viet Tri - Dong Anh power line in Dong Anh side. The end point is connected to tower in the gate of the Vinh Tuong 110 kv substation. Total length of this connection line is 1442 m The 35 kv power lines going out from the substation The 35kV power line connected to 371-E43: the starting point is evacuating 35 kv point of Vinh Tuong substation. The end point is connected to the middle point of towers of the section 371 M E43. Total length of this line is 1576m (including 150 m cable part from control room to the evacuating tower). The power line is in Tho Tang commune, Vinh Tuong district. Topography is plain, elevation is ranging from 0,5 -=- 1 m. The 35kV power line connected to section 372 of 35 kv Vinh Son substation: the starting point is 35 kvevacuating point of Vinh Tuong substation. One circuit end point is connected to tower No 14 of 35 kv connecting to section 372. Another circuit end point is connected to tower no 15 to supply electricity for 35 kv Vinh Son substation. The length of this power line is 219m. Existing towers without lighting protection will be rehabilitated and will equipped with lighting protection. Length of line with lighting protection is 1680 m..: This 35 kv power line is located in Tho Tang commune, Vinh Tuong district, Vinh Phuc province. Topography is plain, elevation is ranging from 0,5 -=- 1m. 4

'It} «No Impact Magnitude Duration Description of the impacts Evaluation of impacts tne substation. - The risk of water for being more turbid due to Project activities is very small. 6 Noise and vibration Small Short - Noise and vibration are caused by: equipment, Minor Negative material transportation, project's vehicles, pole's ' erection and cable's pulling, generators (if there is any) * The TL and substation is not going near residential area or area with intensive human activities such as market, school, medical care center etc. The nearest residential area is about 1 k m far from Project sites. - Surrounding areas are agricultural fields, isolated from population center. 7 Soil erosion and sedimentation Medium Short - Topography is very flat. Minor and Mitigable - Vegetation cover in the area are small agricultural trees such as rice, sweet potatoes - Excavation is planned to carry out in dry season. Dry season in the area lasts from October to the March of the next year. - Rice fields in surrounding area of the SUbstation might be' affected by soil erosion and sediment But this will be only in short period of time and in limited number of land. S Air pollution Medium Short - An considerable amount of earth will need to be Medium and Mitigable excavated and compacted. See Table 2.2 for more details. Dust is generated. from soil excavation, (especially during dry seasons),. transportation of construction materials, soil leveling for substation base, etc. - Transportation of Project material and equipment are considerable. This will cause the dust and air pollution as well. - Substation location is near the national road N o 2, so

12 .t No Impact Magnitude Duration Description of the impacts I Evaluation of impacts the dust caused by transportation may increase the dust level of this location. 9 I Impact on traffics Medium Short 1- Transportation of material and equipment. soil I Minor excavation and cable pulling activities will disturb the normal traffic in the areas during short period of time. - In open air area, the transportation of material and equipment is very easy due to very well developed road system in the Project sites. - The power line is crossing inter commune road for 2 times. 1 time crosses the National road NO 2. Cable pulling might be main activity that causes some impact on the traffic. Scaffolds will be constructing to enable cable pulling and minimize impact on traffic when the power line is crossing roads. 10 Road damage by transportation of Medium Short - Transportation of traffic flow caused by Project will I Minor materials and equipment not exceed the capacity of the existing traffic flow in the area. However the increasing of Project vehicles might affect the existing road system. - Conditions for transportation of material and equipment are quite convenience.

There are many other similar construction project are undergoing, so local people are familiar with presence of workers in the area. - The risk of conflict between workers and local people is very low. 14 Health and Safety Medium Short - Accidents might happen during construction if the Mitigable safety issues are not well considered. Operation phase 15 Strengthen of economic growth in Vinh Large Long - Strong support for development for Vinh Phuc Major Positive Phuc province province and for newly planned industrial area. - Increase the quality of electricity supply for local industrial development and residential purpose. - Stabilizing and increasing of electricity quality. Electricity supply is more secure; - Electricity loss is reduced. 16 Habitat fragmentation and increase None - - No new access road is required. No impact access to wild lands - Project area is common agricultural land with inte!1~ive hllman activities;

There is no special habitat or wildlife existed in the area. 17 Health and safety Small Long - During Project design, safety issues were well Mitigable considered. However, electric shock and impact on safety of worker and local people still might occur if safety regulation is nor well followed. 18 EMF None None -In practices, the existing operating 110 kv No impact substation and power lines have very minor impact on human health. Vinh Tuong 110 kv substation and its connections design is followed technical and safety regulations. Working rules will be strictly implemented for operators so EMF intensity is in permissible level. - There will be a risk to persons who violate the regulation for high voltage regulation protection within ROW. 19 Impacts on aircrafts None None - The height of pole is less than 50 m. There will not No Impact be any problem with avian and aircrafts 20 Oil hazardous waste contamination Small Long - Oi/leakage from transformer might cause adverse Minor impact to water, soil and air quality. In order to avoid environmental risk the oil collecting hole is constructed to collect all oil leakage when transformer has an accident. Oil collecting hole is constructed by non hydrophilic materials with cover and automatic pump. - No PCBs containing oil and other hazardous chemicals will be used during Projecfs construction and operation. 21 Noise from the substation Minor Long - Transformer is manufactured with requirement for Minor noise level is less than 80 dba at less than 10m and will be property installed in order to avoid causing noise during operation Vinh TU{)l1g substation is located agricultural land

Measures taken by the contractor for cleaning up woody residues after tree cutting Status of access roads,(have they been closed if in a protected area, are they still being used and to what extent, how are they being controlled/managed and by whom), Application of mitigation measures for or sign of soil erosion along TIL due to tree cutting and/or around tower foundation Status of re-vegetation in the ROWs and tower foundation Impacts on construction works (level of noise, dust. and damage to roads due to earthworks and transportation of building materials) Status of construction worker camps and sanitation facilities for them Proper distance between the houses and TIL. Status of implementation of safety measures (Signboards, restricted zone, fences, isolation etc.) 2. Conduct public consultation to: Assess the level of involvement by the local authorities in dealing with environmental issues. (dust, noise, and damage to roads due to the transport of construction materials, tree cutting on public lands and protected areas).
