15 Category B ELA EVN and PC 3 Rural Enefgy I - Phase II Background Executive Summary The objective of Rural Energy Project (REP) is to assist the Government of Vietnam to increase the electrification ratio in rural areas to achieve the electrification targets. These targets envisage provision of energy to 100% of the districts, 80% of the communes and 60% of the households by the year The goal of REP's Central Region activities is improve access to reliable electricity for 108,042 households. Bv improving access to electncitv, local people will, inter alia, experience improved livelihoods at home and in the workplace. The REP is subdivided into two phases: Phase I will support electrification of 64,725 households, and Phase II will support electrification of 43,317 households. Phase I began construction in 1999 Phase II (the "Project") is the focus of this EIA report. Implementation Schedule and Budget Project implementation for second Phase will occur between January 2003 to June The total investment for the project is estimated at about VND 350,000 million (equivalent US$ 22.7 million). Project Scope The Project will connect 86 communes and commune groups in seven provinces in the Central Region of Vietnam. These communes are located in four coastal provinces and three mountainous provinces of Central Vietnam (Quang Binh, Quang Tnr, Quang Nam, QuangNgai, GiaLai, KonTum and DakLak). There are 1,075 km of MV lines (35 kv and 22 kv), 860 km of LV lines (0.4 kv), 572 substations with total capacity of 21,705 KVA and 43,317 meters that will be constructed. Project implementation will occur between January 2003 and June The total investment for the project is estimated at about VND 350,000 million (equivalent US$ 22.7 million). Alternatives Alternatives to the Project: In order to have the best solution to supply the electricity to the project areas, some different alternatives such as small hydropower, wind energy, solar, energy, and diesel were considered. Based on this comparison, the construction of the electricity network and substations was considered most advantageous for the following reasons: * The national network-grid was already available; therefore it was most cost effective to add to the grid rather than to develop new energy sources; * A network is the most reliable method to serve communes across the region; and Alternatives such as solar, diesel or small hydro could service a much smaller group of beneficiaries, and the total cost of those small-scale initiatives is much greater than that of improving the existing grid system. Alternatives within the Project: For within the project, the following alternatives were considered: choice of optimal voltage of network, alignment of transmission and distribution lines, access routes for construction and operation, capacity of transformers, and location of substation. The choices for each consideration are presented within the main text of the EIA report, Page vi September 2003

16 Rural Encegy I - Phase II The "No Project"Alternative: If the "No Project" alternative was implemented, 43,317 households could not access the network for use of the electricitv. Some of Vietnam's poorest people in the country most remote areas will not likely have access to electricitv of any kind in the near future This will affect their chances of economic development and povertv alleviation, two pillars of Vietnamese development policv. Impacts An assessment of the Project's potential environmental impacts was conducted for pre-construction, construction and operation phases. The assessment evaluated a range of potential impacts that could occur as a result of the project. The selection of potential impacts for evaluation was based on site visits, discussions with Phase I staff, Department of Natural Resources and Environment, project affected people, reviewing relevant documents (e.g. World Bank's Environmental Assessment Sourcebook, World Bank's Safeguard Polices, Phase I Environmental Assessment Report, Feasibilitv Study). Table El provides a summary impacts evaluation of potential impacts that could be crcatcd by the Project's activities in the Central Region. Table El: Summary of impacts.

17 Category B ETA EVN and PC 3 Rural Encrgy I - Phase II Public Consultation and Disclosure As the project is the second phase of the on-going project, the consultation with the related people already conducted at the provincial and district levels from the beginning of the project in For the second phase for the new communes, the meetings for public consultation were organised in every commune with the local people during the period of the preparation of Feasibility Study in At these meetings, the major technical, resettlement and compensation entitlement, land acquisition, environmental issues and proposed mitigation measures were discussed. The local authority and people will give their comments on: appropriate designed line routes, anv other potential risk to environment. all questions of PAP should be addressed, all recommendations and concerns of PAP and PC should be recorded. The local commune/district authorities also signed the drawings. The original EIA was sent to the concerned PPCs for clearance and to DOSTE for public display in December Environment Management Plan (EMP) The EMP consists of mitigation, monitoring measures to be taken during implementation and operation to eliminate adverse environmental and social impacts, offset them, or reduce them to acceptable levels. Environmental management during construction period is implemented by the Project Management Unit (PMU). PMU is responsible for guiding and supervising Contractors during application of mitigation measures as well as environmental monitoring. During the operation phase, the environmental issue will under responsibility of the Provincial Power Services. Local authorities will be hired to measure the environmental quality along transmission lines and substations and report will be made and submitted to relevant responsible authorities. The EMP includes plan and cost for institutional strengthening such as training on environmental issues. Conclusion The Project will supply electricity to 86 remote and mountainous communes of Central Vietnam. By providing this service, the Project will help improve the livelihood of 43,317 households. The impact of this service is evaluated as significant positive and long term. In order to provide electrification services, the Project will create some negative impacts to the natural and social environment. Most of these impacts are minor negative and short term, or rnitigable. Page viii September 2003

18 Rural Energy I - Phase II 1 Introduction The objective of Rural Energy Project (REP) is to assist the Government of Vietnam to increase the electrification ratio in rural areas in order to achieve the electrification targets set by the Government of Vietnam (GOV). These targets envisage provision of energy to 100% of the districts, 80% of the communes and 60% of the households by the year The REP's contributions to achieve GOV electrification targets are twofold: 1) development of a national strategy for electrification and for provision of energy to the remote mountainous areas, and 2) connecting about 900 communcs throughout Vietnam to the national grid. The REP is a large project that is subdivided into tvo phases (Phase I, Phase II) and three regions (North, Central, South). This report reviews the environmental impacts of one component of the REP: Phase II activities in the Central Region. Phase II Central Region Project (the Project) aims to connect 86 communes in Central Vietnam to the national grid'. Because the GOV will receive a World Bank loan to conduct the Project, this report and its related activities follow both World Bank's safeguard policies and GOVs policies on enviromnental assessment and environmental protection. The content of this environmental assessment was prepared in accordance with the main subject areas identified World Bank's OP 4.01, Annex B: * Project Description * Policy, legal, and administrative frarnework * Baseline Data * Environmental Impacts * Analysis of Alternatives * Disclosure * Public Consultation * Environmental Management Plan Supporting information to the environmental assessment are supplied in accordance with annexure subjects identified in OP 4.01 Annex B: * List of EA report preparers * References-written materials both published and unpublished, used in study preparation * Record of interagency and consultation meetings * Tables presenting the-relevant data referred to or summarized in the main text * List of associated reports Phase I Central Region Subproject aims to connect 163 communncs to the national grid.

21 Rural Energy I - Phase II 3 Policy, Legal, and Administrative Framework 3.1 World Bank Policy on Environmental Assessment The Project is classified as a Categorv A project and therefore requires the completion of a full-scale EIA. The World Bank's policy on conducting a full-scale EIA is to follow Operational Directive 4.01 Environmental Assessment. This directive describes guidance on Bank's policies and procedurcs for conducting environmental assessments of proposed projects. Annex B of the Operational Directive specifies the requirements for an EIA report. Additional World Bank policies that were considered through the Project's EIA process include: * OPN Cultural Property * OP 4.04 Natural Habitats * OP 4.09 Pest Management * OP 4.12 Involuntary Resettlement, * OD 4.20 Indigenous Peoples, * OP 4.36 Forestry; and * BP Public Disclosure Detailed guidance on assessment methodologies and common impacts associated with transmission projects are found in: * World Bank, Environmental Assessment Sourcebook, Volume 3 * IFC, Environmental, Health, and Safety Guidelines on Electric Power Transmission and Distribution. 3.2 Vietnamese Policy and Administrative Framework on Environmental Assessment Vietnamese Policy Framework Vietnam's most relevant environmental policies for environmental assessment are: (i) (ii) Law on Protection of the Environment (LEP) was enacted in The LEP: identifies the responsibilities of the state centre, provinces, organizations and individuals to prevent and remedy environmental deterioration and pollution and carry out specified environmental protection functions; * provides for the development of environmental standards and submission of environmental impact assessment reports on new and existing facilities; * provides for responsible parties to pay compensation for environmental damage; * establishes the right of individuals and organizations to petition for enforcement of environmental regulations; * calls for civil and criminal penalties for violations; and * encourages international environmental co-operation. Decree 175/CP was promulgated in 1994 to guide implementation of the LEP and provides broad guidelines for division of responsibility among Ministries; environmental impact assessments; pollution prevention and disaster control; sources of finance; and environmental inspections and standards. Page 4 September 2003

22 Rural Energy I - Phase II (iii) Circular No. 490 was promulgated in 1998 to provide guidance on setting up and appraising environmental impact assessment reports for investment projects. The Circular identifies the legal requirements according to the stages of implementation of a project and its category; defines the content of project subject to the EIA procedures; and specifies management of the EIA report appraisal. To supplement the above key environmental assessment policies, there are a large range of laws, decisions, regulations, and standards may also be considered: (iv) Law on Forest Protection (1992) This law regulates forest management, protection, development, and exploitation, prevention of wood-cutting, and forest destruction. It also encourages individuals and organizations to protect and develop forests. (v) Decree 54/1999/ND-CP specifies guidance on the protection of high-voltage networks. (vi) (vii) (viii) (ix) Decree 70/1987-HDBT specifies safety casements of high-voltage transmission lines. Decree 24/2000/ND-CP specifies the implementation on the Law on Foreign Investment in Vietnam (Article 82) concerning environmental protection as follows: 1) enterprises with foreign investment capital and joint ventures are obligated to observe regulations, satisfy standards in environment protection, and comply with Vietnam legislation on environment protection; 2) if investors apply intemational advanced environmental standards these standards should be registered Nvith MoSTE. Decree 52/1999/ND-CP was appended to include environmental considerations for construction management as follows: 1) for PFS, Provision 3 of Article 23 stipulates that requirements for environment study relating to the "selection of construction sites, estimation of land use area needed, in ways which comply to the principle of minimizing land use and environmental and social impacts, and resettlement to the lowest possible level". 2) Provisions 4 and 7 of Article 24 stipulate that FS must propose "specific site options (or regions, routes) which much match with construction plans (including documents on site selection, together with proposed solutions for minimizing environmental and social impacts)", and "architectural altematives, construction solutions, preliminary designs suggested for selection, environment management and protection solutions". 3) For technical design: Section B, Provision 1, Article 37 and Section A, Provision 2, Article 38, contain regulations on appraisal and approval of "techniques for the protection of environment and ecology; for prevention and combating of explosion and fire and for occupational safety and industrial sanitation." Decree 26/1996/CP provides regulations on the punishment of administrative violation of Environmental Protection Law. Chapter 1 describes the general provisions for punishment under the Environment Protection Law. Chapter 2, Article 6 details recommended punishments for parties who violate environmental pollution and prevention act. These punishments include financial penalties for not submitting an EIA report. (x) Tieu ChAun Viet Nam (TCVN) are national standards established by MoSTE and applied to all government agencies. They include engineering, construction, scientific, and environmental standards. Most TCVN standards are direct translations of ISO standards. TCVN environmental standards include acceptable limits of many air, noise, and water quality parameters. In general, the list of bio-physical parameters are broad enough such that most monitoring programmes can employ TCVN standards as metrics of evaluation. There are some exceptions - for example, sediment, soil, and vibration standards do not yet exist. In these cases, it is common practice for ODA projects to use standards from other countries or international organisations. (xi) 18 TCN provides standards for safety clearances for 500 KV Electrical Equipment Installation Standards. Section I of this policy states numerous requirements. For example, trees outside of the ROW must have two meters clearance between conductors and trees, and the clearance between top of the trees and conductors in the ROW must not be less than six meters. Page 5 September 2003

23 Rural Energy I - Phase 11 (xii) 1I TCN-1984 sets the standard for minimum clearance between live parts of a line and trees. Trees outside of ROW must ensure two meters of clearance between conductors and tree parts. The clearance between top of the trees and conductors in the ROW must not be less than six meters. The ROW identified bv two parallel planes is seven meters from the outer conductors when they are vertical and not less than two meters when conductors are at maximum swing angle Vietnamese Administrative Framework The Government of Vietnam is in the process of creating a new administrative framework for environmental management. For the Additional Works Project, the framework's relevant institutes are as follows: (i) (ii) (iii) Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MoNRE). MoNRE was established by a Prime Ministerial Decision on November 11, This new ministry includes four vice-ministers, 16 departments, one newspaper, and one magazine. MoNRE merges numerous departments from several national agencies. These are outlined in Decree 91/2002/ND-CP: Providing for the functions, duties, powers and organisational structure of the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment. Environmental Impact Assessment and Appraisal Department. This Department is under MoNRE. According to Decree 91/20021ND-CP, the Department's function includes: To appraise environmental impact assessment reports of projects and of business and production establishments. Environmental Impact Assessment and Appraisal Department is guided by the Vietnam's established regulatory framework: i.e. LEP, Circular 490, CP 175, etc. Provincial Departments of Natural Resources and Environment (DoNRE). Each provincial DoNRE houses an Environmental Management Division (EMD). The EMD is responsible for ensuring environmental protection and management of provincial matters in accordance with LEP, Decree 175, and Circular 490. Hence, it is DoNRE - and in particular, its EMD - that will likely play a key regulatorv role during project construction and operation. Page 6 September 2003

24 Rural Energy I - Phase II 4 Baseline Conditions 4.1 Project-Level Baseline Conditions The Socio-economic Environment The Project is located in seven provinces of Central Vietnam: Quang Binh, Quang Tri, Quang Nam, Quang Ngai, Gia Lai, Kon Tum and Dak Lak. The total natural area of the Project provinces is 73,050 ki 2, representing 22.3% of Vietnam's land mass. The total of population of the Project area is 7,290,400 people, about 9% of Vietnam's total population. The population density of this region is 111 heads/km 2. This is the lowest population density of the country (the average density of the whole country is 223 individuals/knm 2 ). The rural population is 80% and the growth rate of population is about 2.1 %. Although the North and South regions of Vietnam have benefited greatly from Doi Mot 2 the Central region of Vietnam lags behind in its development rate. For the period of 5 years ( ), the living standard of people in the Central region is increasing, but it is still in an unstable situation. This is especially true in rural areas, where the living-standard are often below the poverty line The Natural Environment Topographic Conditions The topographic condition of this region is complex. The altitude varies from the high area in the west (highland) to the low area in the East (coastal area). The west side belongs to Mekong river basin. In the west, there are very high mountains and deep valleys. The east side topography is rather flat in the estuaries of rivers. In the river catchment area some plains were formed and are now cultivated with different crops and paddy. The proposed routes will pass through all of these different topographic areas. Meteorological Conditions The Project lays in a tropical and monsoon climate. The maximum temperature in Quang Binh and Quang Tri is observed to 40 C in summer and the minimum temperature in the winter season is observed to 10 C. The rainy season is from May to November in the highland and from September to December in the coastal area. The rainfall concentrates most from August to October (in highlands) and October to November (in coastal areas). The rainfall during these periods are estimated about 80% from the total annual rainfall. Heavy storms happen very often in the East regions because this region extends along the sea and there are high mountainous ranges along and very closed to the seashores. The rivers are short and very steep in the middle region. Especially in the coastal area, the river beds are very steep. Because of that verv high peak flood and volume of flood come can occur after a few hours of heavy rains. In the past, some storms entered these regions with very high speed of wind (118 km/h) caused very heavy rain. The maximum daily rainfall in the coastal area were measured over 600 mm and the maximum peak flood unit estimated over 15 m 3 /s. In highlands, -these values are much lower, nowhere the maximum daily rainfall over 300 mm and maximum peak flood also not more than 3.5 m 3 /s. There are about ten prevailing major soil types in the project area.-these include: * plinthic acrisols on clay shale, metamorphic stone, and sandstone (most common types); 2 Doi Moi is a gcneral policy of economic reform that has been in implementation throughout Vietnam since 1986 Page 7 September 2003

25 Rural Energy I - Phase II * plinthic acrisols on stone of magma acid-riolit-daxite; * limestone, rhodic ferralsols, haplic alisols, humic acrisols; * cabonate black soil, dystric fluvisols, furic fluvisols. 4.2 Provincial-Level Baseline Conditions QuangBinh Natural Features * QuangBinh province locates at centre of the central region, adjoins Ha Tinh province to the North, QuangTri to the South, PDR Lao to the west and the East Sea to the east. * The total natural area of QuangBinh is 8,052 km 2 comprising of 15 percent of plain areas and 85 percent of mountainous and forest areas.

28 Rural Energy I - Phase II 5 Analysis of Alternatives 5.1 Alternatives to the Project There are several alternatives available for supplving energy to the Project area, including: * small hydropower; * wind energy; * solar energy; * diesel generators; and * medium hydropower. These altematives were not as viable as the alternative to expand and rehabilitate the existing grid system for the following reasons: * The national network grid was already available; therefore it was most cost effective to add to the grid rather than to develop new energy sources. * If diesel, wind, solar, energy, or small hydro were selected, the beneficiaries would be much more limited than the proposed project. * If medium hydropower used, the proposed network would still need to be developed. * Solar energy and wind energy would require tremendous investment to support 86 communes. This region has high poverty rate, not suitable for large investment. Also, if solar or wind energy was used, EVN's support for investment, installation, and operation would not be considered cost efficient. A gnd network is more reliable - is most common way to utilize energy by grid. A grid network has added benefit of creating infrastructure for installing fibre-optic cables and other communications lines. 5.2 Alternatives within the Project The following altematives were considered within the Project: * Commune Selection for Project Participation: Early in the project cycle PC 3 issued a letter to each of the seven participating Provincial People's Committees. The letter invited each committee to nominate communes for inclusion in the Project. The committees were informed that eligibility will be based on the following criteria: o The commune is currently not electrified under national grid system; o At least 60% of households in the commune will agree to being connected to the grid system; o The commune must be in a location where it is physically possible to connect to the existing grid system; o Provincial/district/commune People's Committees agree to pay for and manage site clearance and compensation as specified in RAP. Based on these criteria, each Provincial People's Committee responded with a shortlist of eligible communes. This short list was verified by PC3, who sent consultants to the field to advise on the eligibility of each proposed commune From this process, 86 communes were selected for Project participation. Page 11 September 2003

29 Rural Energy I - Phase II * Transmission Line Options: There are twvo options for transmission lines: high voltage (above 33 KV) and medium voltage (6-35 KV). The option of medium voltage (MV) lines was selected because: o MV lines are more cost effective o MV lines take less skill and effort construct, maintain, and operate o MV lines have more simple material requirements a MV lines require a shorter construction period * Alignment and Substation Options: A number of alignment and substation options were considered in each commune. These options were presented by the Consultant to PC3 using detailed scale maps. A simplified example of alignment options for a commune is presented in Figure 5. 1: Figure 5.1: Simplified example of alignment options presented by Consultant to PC3 - Existing 15 KV line f> Option Proposed MV line / * Substation / <- ProposedLVLines, ;/g >~~~~} Commune 3_ XOption '. 2, ' The relative socialuenvironmental impacts, capital/operating costs, and technical feasibility of each option were discussed between the Consultant and PC3. Based on the available information and further consultation with relevant parties (Consultant, People's Committees, etc) alignments were selected for each commune. * Access routes for construction and operation: Due to the high level of effort required to build access roads and their high potential for environmental impact, access routes for construction and operation will be primarily limited to existing roads. If roads to not exist, then consideration will be given to hand-carrying equipment to the appropriate site. If this option is not feasible, then the commune was likely to become ineligible for participation in the Project. * Conductor cross-section and capacity of transformers: Conductor cross-section and capacity of transformer were calculated from forecast of load demand at each commune. Load demand is directly forecasted based on investigation data on existing situation, scale of production, population allocation, load figured, expected socio-economic growth, and the master plan of each commune. In addition, the calculation of conductor cross-section and capacity of transformer must be considered their economic aspects. If not, the project cost is higher and as well as energy loss from them. * Selection of substation type: There are many voltages (15/0.04 kv; 10/0.4 kv; 22/0.4 kv) and capacities (15 kva, 20 kva, 25 kva, 30 kva, 50 kva) that could be selected for each substation. The choice(s) for each commune, and their relative capital/operating costs, and technical feasibilitv were considered by PC 3, PMU and other stakeholders. Page 12 September2003

30 Rural Energy I - Phase "No-Project" Alternative If the "No Project" alternative was implemented, 43,317 houscholds could not access the network for use of the electncity. Some of Vietnam's poorest people in the country most remote areas will not likely have access to electricitv of any kind in the near future. This will affect their chances of economic development and povertv alleviation, two pillars of Vietnamese development policy The remaining sections of this report address the environmental impacts, mitigation, and monitoring activities required for the most favoured alternatives of the Projcct. Page 13 September2003

31 Rural Energy I - Phase 11 6 Analysis of Impacts 6.1 Impact Assessment Methodology The Environmental Impact Assessment focuses on the major environmental issues of the Project's Most Favoured Alternative. The potential impacts of the Project's pre-construction. construction, and operation phases were assessed as being in one of five categories: i. NO IMPACT. The potential impact of the Project activity is assessed as NO IMPACT if the project activity is physically removed in space or time from the environmental component. ii. MAJOR IMPACT. An impact is said to be MAJOR if the project activity has potential to affect an environmental component. Major impacts could be "Major Negative" or "Major Positive." The following criteria were used to determine whether a given impact is MAJOR. a) spatial scale of the impact (site, local, regional, or national! international); b) time horizon of the impact (short, medium, or long term); c) magnitude of the change in the environmental component brought about bv the Project activities (small, moderate, large); d) importance to local human populations; e) compliance with national, provincial, or district environmental protection laws, standards, and regulations3; f) compliance with Vietnam's international commitments. These include the Convention on Wetlands of International Importance especially as Waterfowl Habitat (RAMSAR), the Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage (World Heritage Convention), and the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES); and g) compliance with World Bank guidelines, policies, and regulations 4 iii. iv. MINOR IMPACT. If an impact occurs but does not meet the criteria for a Major Impact it is assigned the category MINOR. Minor impacts could be "Minor negative" or "Minor Positive. " UNKNOWN IMPACT. The potential impact of a project activity will be assessed as being UNKNOWN if the magnitude of the effect can not be predicted for any of the following reasons: a) the nature and location of the project activity is uncertain; b) the occurrence of the environmental component within the study area is uncertain; c) the time scaleof the effect is unknown; or d) the spatial scale over which the effect may occur is unknown. v. MITIGABLE IMPACT. The potential impact of a project activity on an environmental component is said to be MITIGABLE if there is potential for a major negative impact and the proposed mitigation measure will prevent the impact or reduce the impact to acceptable levels. 3 See Section 3 of this report for more details 4 See Section 3 of this report for more details Page 14 September2003

Most of these households will be affected by: 1) having some of their trees cut down; 2) relocating their house or other structures within their existing property; 3) land acquisition of part of their land (usually less than 3m 2 ; 4) if their house or agricultural land is in the ROW, they will be restricted to growing trees less than 4m in height (in no cases will houses will the height of houses need to be reduced), and 5) during construction, some PAHs will temporarily lose use of their productive land. A summary of PAH impacts is found in Table 6.2. Page 15 September 2003

The detailed compensation scheme is presented in the Project's Resettlement Action Plan. The Plan has been prepared according to World Bank guidelines and Vietnamese legislation. The total cost for RAP implementation is VND billion VND (approximately 400,529 USD). The budget for compensation and resettlement will be arranged by the Provincial People's Committees of each province Lands Acquisition - MITIGABLE IMPACT The proposed routes will pass through the different environmental regions. Almost the routes will pass along a mix of forest, bare land, crops area, and residential area. However, because the ROW for the transmission line is required is only 6m for medium voltage and 2m for low voltage, the total area of land acquired bv the Project is relativelv little. In total, the Project will acquire about 457 hectares of land. A summary of land acquisition is found in Table 6 3 Table 6.3: Land Acquired for the Project Temporary Impacted Land Permanent Impacted Land No. Province Total (m 2 ) (n 2 ) (n 2 ) Residential Productive Residential Productive Land Land Land Land I Quang Binh 244, ,906 80,076 2, Quang Tri 118,120 29,201 81,030 3,905 3,984 3 Quang Nan 113,630 11, , Quang Ngai 519,377 83, ,981 2,331 4,754 5 Gia Lai 1,736, ,933 1,093,257 13,959 19,127 6 Kon Tum 315,978 53, , Dak Lak 1,521, ,124 1,213,742 3,795 16,636 TOTAL 4,569,580 1,234,391 3,261,462 26,740 46, Impacts Caused by Clearing the ROW - MINOR NEGATIVE IMPACT The clearing of the ROW will occur during Pre-Construction shortly after the land acquisition activities. ROW clearing activities include: 1) permanent tree cutting and vegetation control; and 2) temporary clearing of agriculture area land. Pa'ge 16 September 2003

35 Rural Energy I - Phase II Based on the RAP, the following comments can be made on land acquisition: * More than 50% of the proposed ROW is agriculture land, which usually cultivated by the food crops, rice and some industrial trees. The height of these crops are normally less than I m, therefore all the agricultural activity will remain unchanged. Therefore, there will be no impact on agricultural areas. * Data from the field surveys confirmed that there are no primary forests, no protected forests or reserved forests are in the ROW. These impacts could be recovered by the proper compensation to the PAH, so that they can usc the compensation for re-cultivating the lost trees. The measures of the compensation are discussed in details in RAP of the project. * Residential and fallow land are already reasonably well developed, and hold very little ecological or biodiversity value. For this reason, project construction in these areas would have no impact on ecological integrity or biodiversity. The main impacts of clearing the ROW include: 1) some people mav try to burn waste vegetation on site - this can increase the risk of uncontrolled fires, 2) some people mav be injured by felling trees, and 3) soil erosion may occur. The significant of these impacts is considered to be minor negative Cultural Property - NO IMPACT According to the RAP, the Project will not impact any cultural property, as defined by WB OP This is for three reasons: 1) flexible nature of aligning transmission and distribution lines; 2) rather sparse population of people in the Project area, 3) the participatory nature of designing alignments means that each commune is involved in selected alignment, and the final alignment in each commune must be approved by the commune's People's Committee Health Risks Related to Explosives, and Toxic Substances - MITIGABLE IMPACT Some of the northem communes in the Project have identified landmines remaining in the ground. This is consistent with the general observation that there are landmines have been found near Vietnam's international borders, mortar shells from previous wars are found at shallow depths in some provinces, and in general, unexploded aerial bombs of 100 kg or more probably lay within the first 10 m of soil in the Project area. Many agriculture areas have been de-mined at shallow depths. However, there has not been comprehensive de-mining, (i) in non-productive land, especially near international borders, and (ii) at depths greater than 2 meters in some of the Project area. This means that some construction activities (building access roads, excavation to install transmission towers) may be at risk of coming in contact with unexploded ordnance and/or toxic substances 6.4 Construction Phase Impacts Soil Erosion - MINOR NEGATIVE IMPACT The project is located in a mountainous region that is subject to monsoon periods of heavy rain (see Section 4 for more details). Erosion is most common during the rainy season, when about 80% of rainfall occurs. The construction of MV lines on steep slopes could exacerbate erosion rates 5 However, the overall Project impact on erosion during construction will likely be minor for the following reasons: * Construction of medium voltage lines will only occur during dry season, * The ROW required to construct medium voltage lines is 6-8m, Low voltagc lines will bc constructed on relatively flat surfaces Pa'ge 17 September 2003

36 Rural Energy I - Phase II It has been estimated that 4m 2 of vegetation cover will be damaged in every 100 m stretch of working area. And when lines are closer to the populated or agricultural areas, the rate of erosion is significantlv lower because the topography is normally flat; and The construction of low-voltage lines (about V2 the Project) will occur on relativelv flat surfaces with little excavation, thereby the rate of erosion will be minimal Petroleum and Hazardous Waste Spills - MINOR IMPACT Petroleum and hazardous waste spills may be caused by several sources, including: 1) oil leakage from the construction equipment and transformers during their operation; 2) spillage from filling combustible engines such as vehicles and generators; and 3) dumping of waste petroleum products and hazardous chemicals. These impacts will likely be minor for the following reasons: * The erection of the poles and the electrical equipment from 35 kv and lower, as practice in Vietnam, is done manually. Therefore there will be relatively few combustible engines used during most construction activities. The transformers used in Rural Energy project are very small and contain less than 20 litres of oil. Operation records from other projects show transformer containers rarely break during installation or operation. and therefore, oil leakage from transformers is insignificant. * PCBs and asbestos, twvo hazardous materials that are used in Vietnam, will not be used in the Project. It is expected this impacts can be mitigated through oil and hazardous waste management practices described in later sections of this report Temporary Loss of Productive Land - MINOR IMPACT According to the RAP, some land will be used temporarily by the Project for many purposes. For example: * Temporary construction access roads; * Borrow pits, service yards. and other construction site needs; and * Construction camps; It is expected that these impacts are short-term and temporary. However, if unmitigated, even such short-term impacts could be significant for the farmers who rely on small tracts of productive land for their eamings. For this reason, mitigation measures for temporary loss of productive land will be considered by the Project Impacts of Temporary Access Roads - MITIGABLE IMPACT As the length of the MV transmission line from the commune to the connection point is relatively short, usually ranged from 2 to 15 km, the access roads for the transportation would not be required most of the time. This is because, in practice, if some parts of the lines can not be accessed by the trucks, the contractors usually opt for manual transportation, since the labour costs are much cheaper than the costs of constructing access roads. In some very special cases when the access road is unavoidable, the selection of temporary roads during construction should be considered during design period and will reconfirm before implementation Impacts on Noise and Dust - MITIGABLE IMPACT In residential areas, the main construction impact is building distribution lines. Most of this work (e.g the construction of the 35/22 kv poles and equipment) is done manually. For example, the main excavation works will be to dig foundations for the towers. These excavations will be about 8m 3 (2m Page 18 September2003

37 Rural Energy I - Phase II deep, 2m high, 2m wide). Concrete mixing will be done by hand. No bulldozers, loaders, backhoes, etc will be used. The project will however, use some small generators and trucks to transport equipment. The impacts of noise and dust caused by construction are considered to be very mimmal, however, since this work will be conducted near residential areas, it is assessed as an impact which mitigation measures should be applied in some situations Environmental Impacts Caused Construction Workers - MITIGATED IMPACT Construction workers can cause environmental impacts at the worker camp and in the construction area. At worker camps the main environmental issue is usuallv sanitation. These camps typically have poor sanitary conditions, and human wastes are directly deposited into water bodies, as latrines or septic systems are not available. For this reason, construction camps can significantlv increase the concentration of pathogenic disease vectors - particularly if the same water bodies are being used downstream for agricultural or human consumption. This creates a hazard to both the workers and local people. At the construction site, workers can enter into forested areas to cut trees, poach wildlife, and make fires to cook food Social Impacts Caused by Construction Workers - MINOR IMPACT One work crew will be assigned to each commune The size of the work crew will be about 20 nonlocal people and about 5 local people. The work crew will be subdivided into two groups - about half working at one end of the distribution line for that commune, and about half working at the other end of the distribution line for that commune. The worker camps will be about 2-5 km apart, and each camp will be about 100m in area. It is expected that workers will stay in a commune from 2-3 months. Based on the approach to using construction workers in the communes, it is expected that the social impacts of construction workers is minor. This is because:. The total number of immigrant workers is about 20 people per commune, Communes normally have populations of 1,000 to 2,000 people. Therefore, the marginal increase of demand for electricity, food, and social services would be very small - less than 1%; * Each worker camp is only about 10 people - there will not be any large concentrations of workers at any one time at a camp, nor is it likely there will be an significant increase in the demand for recreational drugs and sexual services; * In most communes about 25% of the workers will be from the local commune - this will reduce the local feeling of uncertainty about the "newcomers" to the commune area. It is expected that the social impacts of construction workers will be minor Nevertheless, there are some measures that can be implemented to ensure minimal impact on local people. These are discussed in the following chapter Health and Safety- MITIGATED IMPACT The main health and safety issues during construction phase are: 1) disease of construction workers, 2) industrial accidents for construction workers, and 3) electrical safety for construction workers and the general public alike. Each are discussed below: * Disease: In remote areas, workers may have to stay for period of up to 20 weeks in camps during construction. There are some risks from transmitted diseases among workers during this time. The diseases include malaria, typhoid fever, diarrhoea and other diseases infected from lack of clean drinking water, proper food and from mosquitoes that are common in these remote areas. The risk of these diseases is probably highest in mountainous communes, where living conditions are poor. In this Project, local contractors will manage most construction activities, and therefore are more or less workers arc aware of local conditions This will help them to prepare better for the living conditions in the project sites, Page 19 September2003

38 Rural Energy I - Phase II * Industrial Accidents: Construction workers are at risk from industrial accidents in the workplace. Working near heavy machinery, electricitv, erecting transmission/distribution line all comes with their share of safety risks. The severity and frequency of industrial accidents increase when safety procedures are not implemented, when construction equipment is not maintained, when safety gear is not issued or wom, or when construction workers are not trained on safety procedures. * Electrical Hazards: The Project's construction phasc is subject to several types of electnicity hazards. For example: 1) on-site electrical supplies wvill be required for a range of equipment and lighting needs; 2) excavation and land clearing mav need to take place. near existing electrical utilities; 3) the Project itself is constructing a verv large electrical transmission system, which comes with its own unique set of electrical hazards; 4) the Project mav need to provide temporary sources of power for households and businesses near project affected areas; 5) there is a nrsk that when improving existing power systems, the existing power system may not be turned off properly before the Contractor begins construction; and 6) there is a risk that when the Contractor connects the new transmission line to the existing transmission line, the existing line may still be operating (i.e. live). All of these situations could create a risk of electric shock to workers and the general public alikc. It is important to note that the risk of electrical accidents increase: 1) in remote areas because local people's knowledge of electricity is rather limited; and 2) whenever project works must occur in or near water. 6.5 Operations Phase Impacts Social Development and Poverty Alleviation - SIGNIFICANT POSITIVE The Project will connect 43,317 households in 86 communes to Vietnam's national grid system. Most of these communes are very poor and live under relatively difficult conditions. By providing gnd electrification, it is expected that households will be able to raise their standard of living through improvements in both their home and work Habitat Fragmentation -MINOR NEGATIVE When a ROW cuts through an ecosystem, the sum of the two parts created by the cut is less than the value of the initial whole, even when the habitat loss is not significant. Ecosystems are complex, interdependent relations between species and their physical environment, and the integrity of the ecosystem relies on the maintenance of those interactions. By slicing the natural habitat, the ROW creates weaker ecological sub-units, thus making the whole more vulnerable to invasions and degradation. For this Project the main fragmentation impacts will be minor. This is because there are no primary forests, protected forests, or forests under Programme 661 in the Project area Increased Access to Wildlands - MINOR IMPACT There are two ways in which the Project may increase access to wildlands: * Permanent access roads: Some roads created by the Project will be used during operation phase as maintenance access roads; * Some ROWs are near forested areas. In these cases, the ROWs may increase access for local people to the forests. In both cases, increased access to the wildlands would mean that local people may go to the forests to cut trees for fuel wood/timber, and poach wild animals. These activities are illegal and strictly forbidden under national and local policies. Nevertheless. it is possible that these impacts may occur to a minor degree. Page 20 September 2003

39 Rural Energy I - Phase II Health and Safety - MITIGABLE Impact Thc operation of transmission lines and distribution stations comc with a certain amount of risk - both to maintenance workers and to the general public. This includes: 1) electrical shock, and 2) fires Avian and Aircraft Hazards - NOT SIGNIFICANT IMPACT The height of the highest towers will be 7 metres for low voltage and 9 metres for medium voltage lines. The potential for these impacts is not significant for the following reasons: * Impact on birds: First, there are no wetlands near the Project Area, and the vegetated area is quite poor in condition. Due to this situation, there are very few, if anv, migratory birds near the Project area. Second, EVN (the Proponent) has managed several low-voltage and medium voltage lines in the Central region. There are no known bird electrocutions/accidents on these lines. This is because the local birds are small - not large enough to touch two lines to create an electric current. * Impact on aircraft: First, The highest towers created by the Project are onlv 9m, well below the 50m height required for special safety lights. Indeed, the new towers will not be much higher than the existing residential and vegetated areas in which thev will be placed. Second, planes are very rare in most of the airspace above the Project area Induced Effects from Electromagnetic Fields - NOT SIGNIFICANT The human and environmental impacts of electromagnetic fields are not well known. Published reports from reputable sources show inconsistent conclusions on the relationship between exposure to electromagnetic fields and cancer (e.g. leukaemia, brain cancer) 6. Most scientists agree that the risk of cancer is directly proportional to several factors, of which two are quite important: magnetic field strength and length of exposure. * Magnetic field strength: According to the US EPA, the magnetic field strength of transmission and distribution systems is surprisingly weak (Table 6.4). Indeed, the highest measured results of a 500 KV line in the ROW dunng peak usage (183 milligauss) is lower than the median measurement of magnetic field strength within six inches of many household items (e.g. hair dryers: 300 milligauss; can openers 600 milligauss). Table 6.4: Magnetic field measurements of 115, 230, and 500KV transmission lines 7 Type of Max on Distance from lines (milligauss) Transmission ROW(milligauss) 15m 30m 60m 90m 115 KV Average Use Peak Use KV Average Use Peak Use KV Average Use Peak Use * Length of exposure to magnetic fields. The exposure time of household appliances is relatively short because magnetic fields are created when the appliance is in use. 6 c.f U.S EPA, Evaluation of the Potential Carcinogency of Electromagnetic Fields; BC Hydro, Electromagnetic Fields CWTT, ews Articles on Links of Power Lines to Cancer Source: U.S. EPA, EMvfF in Your Environment: Mlagnetic Field Mlveasurements of Eve,vdav Electncal Devices Page 21 September 2003

40 Rural Energy I - Phase II Transmission and distribution lines, though relatively low-emitters of magnetic fields, provide constant emission. The effects on long term exposure are not well known. EMF data is not available for 0.4 kv low-voltage lines and kv medium voltage lines. However, based on the data in the above table, the EMF created bv the Project would be much lower than those recorded for l l5kv lines. These lines are commonlv used in urban areas throughout the world with no confirmed health effects. Finally, no houses will be placed in the ROW, where the impact of EiMvF is highest 8. For these reasons, the impact of EMF from the Project is considered to be not significant Noise and Dust - NOT SIGNIFICANT Transformers are designed to produce low levels of noise. It is not expected that they will increase noise levels of the ambient area above TCVN 5949 (1998). Table 6.5: TCVN 5949 (1998) Acoustics - Noise in public and residential areas: maximum permitted noise levels. Area Period of Time h h h Quiet Areas Hospitals, Libranes, 50 dba 45 rlba 40 dba Sanatoria, Schools Residential Areas Hotels, Houses, 60 rlba 55 dba 50 dba Apartments Commercial and 75 dba 70 dba 50 dba Service Areas During operation there are no activities that would increase ambient dust levels in the Project area Petroleum and Hazardous Waste Contamination - NOT SIGNIFICANT IMPACT The Project will use very minimal amounts of oil and no hazardous materials 9 during operation phase. The most common situation when an impact can occur is when transformer oil is being refilled. To refill a transformer, a maintenance crew will remove it from the Project site and bring it to the Proponent's provincial branch office for refilling oil and/or changing oil. The branch office has designated oil collection and oil treatment facilities. This maintenance procedure occurs about every 2 years during operation phase. There are 572 transformers that will be operated by the Project. As this is the main potential impact during operations, the overall impact of petroleum and hazardous wastes is considered to be not significant during operations phase. 8 Allowable distance of houses from median of ROW is described Goverment Decree N 54/1999/ND-CP dated 08/07/1999 on Protection of High Voltage Networks 9 The transformers do not contain PCBs.

41 Rural Energy 1 - Phase 11 7 Mitigation Measures for Negative Impacts The purpose this section is to recommend the most effective approach for mitigating negative impacts created during the Project's pre-construction, construction, and operation phases. In most cases. there is more than one way to mitigate an impact. Mitigation measures can be categorised into four different groups. Each group is presented below: Higher chance of impact mitigation being successful Lower chance of impact mitigation being successful a) Avoid the impact. To "avoid" means to be able to change some aspect of the project design, construction, or operation such that the impact no longer occurs (e.g. changing the alignment of a transmission line so it avoids a sensitive area). b) Minimize the impact. To "minimize" means to implement measures that will reduce impacts to acceptable levels (e.g. ensuring that construction equipment meets TCVN industrial emission standards). c) Rectify the impact. To "rectifv" means to allow an impact to occur. then aftenvards take measures to rehabilitate the environment to a level whereby the impact is within acceptable limits (e.g. use land temporarily for the construction then restore it to its original condition after the construction is complete). d) Compensate for the impact. To "compensate" means to allow the impact to occur, then afternvards provide non-monetary compensation (first priority) or monetarv compensation (second priority) for losses created bv the impact (e.g. if a farmer must be resettled, the first compensation prioritv is to provide replacement land and housing. If replacement land and housing cannot be provided, the replacement value of losses must be calculated and provided to the farmer). Experience from EIA practitioners has found that the approaches are roughly listed in their chance of success: avoiding an impact is most likely to be successful, compensating for an impact is least likely to be successful. The below text below identifies the most likely mitigation measure that can be achieved within the Project's physical, temporal, and technical rcsourccs. 7.1 Pre-Construction Phase Mitigation Measures Project Affected Households Mitigation Objective To reduce the negative effects of resettlement. Description of Mitigation Measure The measures to mitigate the impacts of resettlement are: * avoid the impact: Routes were selected during which minimise the need to relocate houses (see Analysis of Alternatives section); * minimise the impact: When the project will traverse residential areas that cannot be avoided, several pre-construction phase measures will be implemented to minimise impacts on PAHs. These include: i) increasing tower height, ii) increasing the span between towvers: iii) providing special technical options for towers, arms, guys, foundations at locations that have risk of landslide or erosion; iv) conductors will be designed with the insulated wires or cable when the lines are passing through the populated places to avoid the accident of electric shock: v) substations will be designed witlh the hanging type of about 2m high to ensure Page 23 September 2003

42 Rural Energy I - Phase II safety operation and avoid hazardous conditions to human and animal passing by. Substations 'ii also be designed to be equipped with appropriate safety equipment; and vi) poles wvill not be erected in front of the main gate of house or on its premise. The house or structures remained under the line need to be protected according Government Decree No 54/1999/ND- CP dated 08/07/1999 on Protection of High Voltage Networks. compensate for the impact: household that will be affected by the Project will be compensated through the Resettlement Action Plan (see Annex 6 for more details) Land Acquisition Mitigation Objective To reduce the negative effects of land acquisition Description of Mitigation Measure The measures to mitigate the impacts of land acquisition are: * avoid the impact: Selecting routes which minimise the need to acquire land, and in particular, avoid dense forests, natural forests with high ecological values or reserved areas. (see Analysis of Alternatives section); * compensate for the impact: land owners who must release land to accommodate the Project will be compensated through the Resettlement Action Plan (see Annex 6 for more details) Impacts Caused by Clearing the ROW Mitigation Objective Minimize the impacts of burning waste and injurics by cutting trees Mitigation Measure * minimise the impact: Project staffs should work with the local forestry department to ensure that ROW is cleared and maintained according to specifications. Project should support community education activities to inform of hazards of burning waste and cutting trees Health Risks Related to Explosives and Toxic Substances Mitigation Objective Ensure that no workers or local people are harmed bv explosives or toxic substances. Mitigation Measure During Pre-Construction, the Consultant should visit the commune People's Committee to identify areas that could contain UXOs and underground hazardous materials. The Consultant should then visit the Provincial People's Committee and the Army Force (Ministry of Defence) to identify exact locations where de-mining/removal of toxic wastes may need to occur. Next, the Provincial People's Committee will sub-contract a special unit of the Army Force to remove UXOs and toxic substances. After land clearing is complete, the Army Force will submit a letter to Provincial People's Committee to advise the Project area is clear of UXOs and toxic substances. This letter must be issued prior to the beginning of the Project's construction phase. Page 24 September 2003

43 Rural Energy I - Phase Construction Phase Mitigation Measures The construction plan should be optimized regarding the schedule for each construction task to reduce temporary occupation of land and impacts on environment. The details on how to protect the environment during construction are found in this section Soil Erosion Mitigation Objective Minimise soil erosion to the point where the project will not exacerbate the severity and frequency of landslides, that local people can continue to use their land adjacent to the project area without anv net loss in productivity, and that the natural environment is not permanently affected by erosion caused by the project. Description of Mitigation Measure: * avoid the impact: Excavate * (and similar earth-moving project activities) in erosion-prone areas will be scheduled: 1) during the dry season; and /or 2) after harvest to avoid impacts with agricultural productivity and general environmnental stability in and near the project area. This scheduling of excavation to avoid rainy season and harvest season will be written in bidding documents and the General Conditions of Contract. * minimise the impact: Contractor specifications can include the following statements o soil disturbance should be kept to a minimum and shall not be undertaken until immediately prior to construction works beginning in that area. O Surface runoff should be redirected around the project area and into suitable drainage channels. o Excess soil shall be dumped only in approved locations bv the Employer or Engineer. * compensate for the impact: Contractor specifications can include the following statements: o if the contractorfails to minimise soil erosion as per contract agreement, they shall be liable to compensate affected parties for their losses Petroleum and Hazardous Wastes Spills Mitigation Objective Minimise non-point pollution sources from waste dumps, equipment yards, asphalt plants, cement batching plants, and other types of construction sites. Common substances that should be mninimized petroleum products, sediments, raw and uncured concrete, mortar, glues, paints, PCBs, and asbestos, organic and inorganic contaminants, fuels and oils. Description of Mitigation Measure * avoid the impact: Contractor specifications can include the following statement: o PCBs and asbestos shall not be used by the Contractor during any part of project construction. * minimise the impact: Most forms of non-point pollution can be minimised by following TCVN 5524 (1995): General Requirements for Protecting Surface Water Against Pollution; and 2) TCVN 5295 (1995): General Requirements for Protection of Surface and Underground Water Caused by Oil and Oil Products. The relevant contents of these two standards are summarised in the following box: Page 25 September 2003

44 Rural Energy I - Phase 11 Best Practices - Management of Petroleum and Hazardous Products * Prevent the entry of lime, cement, or fresh concrete into waterways. Raw or uncured waste concrete and grouts should be disposed of by removal from the development site or by burial on the site in a location and in a manner that will not impact on a watercourse, Carbon dioxide gas and diffusers should be on site at every water crossing. If uncured concrete spills into the waterbody, C02 gas and diffusers can be used to neutralise the lime. * Wash-down waters from exposed aggregate surfaces, cast-in-place concrete and from concrete trucks should be trapped onsite to allow sediment to settle out and reach neutral ph before the clarified water is released to the storm drain system or allowed to percolate into the ground (approximately 48 hours). * Fuels and lubricants for equipment used on the development site should be carefully handled to avoid spillage, properly secured against unauthorized access or vandalism and provided with spill contaminant according to codes of practice. * Fuelling and lubricating of equipment onsite should only be done after the equipment to be serviced is moved to a constructed service pad with a separate drainage collection system, as far as possible from detention or sedimentation facilities and leave strips. * Any spillage of fuels, lubricants, or hydraulic oils should be immediately contained and the contaminated soil removed from the site and properly disposed of in a location approved by the Engineer. * Waste oils should be collected in leak-proof containers and removed from the site for disposal in a location approved by the Engineer. * The rinsing and cleaning water or solvents for glues, paints, wood preservatives, and other potentially harmful or toxic substances on the development site should be controlled so as to prevent leakage, loss or discharge into the storm drain system * Wood wastes, such as hog fuel, sawdust and wood chips, are not acceptable for fill material. Wood wastes have the potential to release toxic leachates into the aquatic environment. * Where land is being re-developed, and there is contaminahon on site, those contaminants must be removed, disposed of as prescribed by the Engineer Temporary Loss of Productive Land Mitigation Objective Restore all areas used bv the Project to a condition that is at least as environmentally sound as the preproject condition. Description of Mitigation Measures * rectify the impact: Once construction is complete it will be important to return all construction areas temporarily used by the project to a useful state, and to ensure that no longterm environmental impacts of the construction activities persist. The local People's Committees should be involved in discussions of the rehabilitation process. The following best practices for site clean-up will help mitigate long term environmental impacts of: 1) land affected by the Project (construction camps, equipment yards etc): and 2) rehabilitation of water areas affected by the Project (in and around water crossings). Page 26 September 2003

45 Categorv.B EIA EVN and PC 3 Rural Energ, 1 - Phase 11 Best Practices - Rehabilitation of land affected by the Project * Inorganic waste should be disposed of in an approved sanitary landfill sites away from the construction areas, or be recycled where this is economically feasible. * Any remaining organic non-toxic wastes should be ploughed into the soil layers * All areas where oil has been spilled should be ploughed or tilled using agricultural implements, to facilitate the accelerated chemical breakdown of the oil. * Disturbed areas within 100 meters of a water body should be stabilised and re-vegetated to prevent erosion and to intercept sediment. * Riverbanks and fill sloped should be trimmed to a relatively flat angle that will be stable (i e, 2.1 or flatter). * All ground surfaces that have been compacted by heavy machinery or by having been sites of construction camps or plants should be ploughed and raked to ensure that sediment compacton is reversed Impact of Temporary Access Roads Mitigation Objective Minimise the need to construct temporary access roads. Anv temporary access roads that are constructed in or near sensitive areas should be decommissioned and rehabilitated to their original state at the end of the construction period. Description of Mitigation Measures * avoid the impact: Whenever possible, alternatives to building access roads should be considered. For example, the Contractor should be encouraged to use manual transport as much as possible. If access roads cannot be avoided, their routing should avoid sensitive areas. Consultation and agreement with local authority on the number and location of access road and proposed mitigation measures are to be done during Pre-construction. * minimise the impact: Access roads should be designed to avoid run off and sedimentation from grading for access road and alteration of hydrological pattern. the design and construction of assess road must be examined carefully and an appropriate water drainage system will be considered and constructed when needed to avoid alteration of drainage and soil erosion. Sediment traps should be installed where required to control sedimentation. * rectify the impact: After construction is complete, the Contractor should apply measures for road restoration such as clearing and levelling the road surface, replanting grass and trees to restore the original status. For sections traversing forest, manual transport of materials should be considered to minimize impact on the environment Noise and Dust Mitigation Objective Ensure minimal impact of noise and dust on local people and sensitive areas such as hospitals and schools. Description of Mitigation Measures * minimise the impact of dust: 1) Water sprays should be regularly used on piles of sand and dirt roads; 2) Wind fences should be installed if prevailing winds generate dust; 3) Project vehicles carrying materials should be adequately covered. * minimise the impact of noise: 1) Night works will be carefully considered in order to reduce noise to local residents, and especially near sensitive areas such as schools and hospitals, 2) Project vehicles should meet TCVN 5948 (1995) standards for noise emissions; 3) Project Page 27 September 2003

46 Rural Energy I - Phase 11 vehicles should avoid the use of horns in urban areas, 4) Construction equipment should meet relevant standards for noise emissions Impacts Caused By Clearing the Right of Way Mitigation Objective Ensure that the ROW is cleared in a manner that minimize impact on surrounding area (water, soils) and allows for agriculture and other low-canopv activities to occur during operation phase Description of Mitigation Measures * avoid the impact: The Contractor specifications should include a statement that reads herbicides, DDT, and other persistent organic pollutants (POP) will not be used by the Contractor during the Project. * minimize the impact: Clearing methods should be selected to minimize impact of tree cutting and soil erosion. According to the current practice, tree cutting will be selective using mechanical means so that the impacts will be minimized. This method will be strictlv applied for the components where transmission lines have to traverse the forests. * rectify the impact: After the construction is completed, trees with appropriate height and grass will be replanted again in the foundation area and in the temporarily used areas for construction to restore original environment and reduce future soil erosion Environmental Impacts Caused By Construction Workers Mitigation Objective Minimise the environmental impacts that are often caused by large workforces in rural areas. In this Project, three impacts are of concern: 1) the impact in natural forests; 2) the impact of solid waste on water bodies and terrestrial areas; and 3) the impact of faecal coliform on water bodies. Description of Mitigation Measure * avoid impact on natural forests: The bidding documents and the General Conditions of Contract should clearly state that: l) fires are not allowed in the forest areas; 2) Construction workers are prohibitedfrom using trees or other materialsfromforest for cooking or heating; and 3) Construction workers are prohibited from hunting, collecting, or poaching any protected species, or creating unnecessary disturbance of wildlife or vegetation. * minimize the impact of solid waste. Solid waste should be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. The process should involve four stages: 1) separation of all recyclable wastes from the solid waste stream, 2) burning all the non-recyclable wastes in a high temperature incinerator installed at the construction camp site; 3) crushing all unburned residues, and 4) bunral of crushed residues in a pit dug into mounded sediment and covered regularly with a veneer of sediment. * minimize the impact of faecal coliform contamination. The Project should encourage the Contractor design and construct adequate waste management systems for all construction camps. There are two kinds of wastes that are of environmental concern: human waste and solid waste. Human wastes from construction camps are often dealt with by one or more of the below mitigation measures: 1) Portable latrines are usually commercial products that can be rented or purchased from a supplier. They have recently become available in Vietnam. The waste from the portable latrines should be disposed of in a place approved by the Engineer; and 2) Pit latrines should be dug as required for each construction camp. When latrines are full, they will be covered over by soil. Pit latrines should be located at least 100 meters from wells or surface water. If a ground water source is close to the surface, it may be necessary to elevate the latrine using soil or sediment Page 28 September 2003

47 Rural Energy I - Phase II Social Impacts Caused By Construction Workers Mitigation Objective To minimise the social problems and tensions that could occur during the Project. Description of Mitigation Measure minimize the impact: Therc are several approaches to reduce social impacts. These include: o The Employer could encourage the Contractor to employ local women and men in order to diminish the sudden influx of in-migrants. The Project could also be used to train local people for new skills in cases where re-training is required. This will increase employment for the local population and reduce the pressure on existing community infrastructure and resources. The Employer could substantiate their encouragement by stating the General Conditions of Contract: In selecting his personnel, whenever possible, the Contractor is requested to hire qualified residents of the province in which the project is located. o The Employer could recommend local People's Committees and local Unions (e.g. Fatherland Front, Women's Union) to involve construction workers in public campaigns and programs on HIV/AIDS, STDs, drug use, and prostitution. Education and awareness about HIV/AIDS, STDs, drug use and prostitution may help to change the behaviour of workers and thereby promote their health and the health of the community. o The Employer could encourage the integration of workers in communities by creating the conditions necessary for the Contractor to provide off-site camp-style housing and transportation to the construction site. This could come in the form of a pay item allocated to transportation. Alternatively, the Employer could encourage the Contractor to discuss with the People's Committees the possibility of on-site private accommodation. On site accommodation has be favoured in other projects because it brings income for local households and in many cases reduces social conflicts that arise when worker camps are near communities. In cases where workers live in construction camps, the Project should recommend that the Contractor build the camps outside the commune. o In cases where the worker camps are near the communes, the Employer could request that the Contractor provide accurate, timely and regular information about the construction team to the People's Committees in affected areas. With open communication and information, the People's Committees and Contractor will be able to make a joint informed decision about the management of construction crew accommodations. * rectify the impact:-the General Conditions of Contract should state: after the Project finished, all the camps will be completed removed and the camp sites will be rect7fied to their original condition Health and Safety Mitigation Objective #1 To minimise the health and safety problems that could be incurred by construction workers. Mitigation Objective #2 Ensure no electrical shocks to workers or local people during construction phase. Page 29 September 2003

48 Rural Energy I - Phase II Description of Mitigation Measures * minimize health and safety problems in the work camp: Sleeping accommodations should be of adequate comfort, warmth (especially in the mountainous areas), and waterproof (especiallv in the rainv season). If worker camps are providing food, then food should be of adequate hygiene and nutritional level for workers to remain hcalthy and conduct thcir working tasks. The Contractor will need to provide mosquito nets and/or anti-malarial pills for workers in areas with malaria, dengue fever, etc. Sanitation requirements of the camp have already been discussed in other parts of this report. * minimize health and safety problems at the construction site: During the construction, workers' health will be protected in accordance with specific regulation on health and hygiene methods. Each independent work unit will appoint one medical staff with adequate competence to take care of the workers and treat diseases as malaria, typhoid fever, diarrhoea, and other transmitted disease. Mine clearance to be carried out prior to construction for areas with this potential risks identified during survey and design phase. Transport of long MV poles must be handled by special transportation vehicles that should be checked before use in compliance with transportation security regulation. Before starting works on foundations, it is necessary to coordinate with relevant agencies to identify and avoid damage on water pipes, postal cables or power cables during foundation and tower works, standard safety regulations should be strictly followed. As tower work is a manual process, anv remaining sand and broken stones must be cleared so that there are no impacts on future cultivations. Facilities and equipment must be carefully checked in terms of quality and quantity before use. Construction leader needs to appoint a person responsible for secunrty supervision. This person will check production equipment, labour protection facilities and remind every one for care. During the period of energizing the system after the completion of the project, the safety engineer of PC3 will ensure that every step prepared for energizing the system strictly follows the technical and safety regulation in order to avoid electricity shocks for the workers and to ensure the safety of the whole system. * minimise impacts of electrical hazards: The Contractor must contact the Provincial Power Department to make sure that the existing power system has been turned off during the period that they: 1) connect new transmission lines to the existing system, and 2) improve the existing system. Construction Workers must wear safety clothes and tools approved by the Employer. This includes safety shoes, safety hats, gloves, etc. 7.3 Operation Phase -Mitigtion Measures Health and Safety Mitigation Objective #1 To minimise the health and safety problems that are related to electric shock. Mitigation Objective #2 To minimise the health and safety problems that are unrelated to electric shock. Mitigation Objective #3 To minimize the frequency and severity of fire hazards. Description of Mitigation Measure minimize the impact of problems created through health and safety issues unrelated to electric shock: This can be achieved by the following: Page 30 September 2003

49 Rural Energy I - Phase II o For the close monitoring and assisting the Power Service on the operation and maintenance, particularly periodically check ROW, at least one local person will be selected from a commune for the training course. This person after the course will be contracted with Provincial Power Service for the maintenance works. O Regular and ongoing preventive maintenance and fault treatment for the transmission lines and substations. The Provincial Power Service of PC3 will undertake operation management of the line and substations. o Regular and ongoing training on safety, basic techniques of the network operation and environment management should be provided to the operators. Only the successful trainees with training certificate can undertake the management and operation duty. o Regular and ongoing tree cutting/trimming to ensure no trees in ROW are higher than 4m.. This work will be carried out manually to reduce impacts on environment. The use of herbicide for vegetation management will be prohibited. Local authorities, organizations and landowners shall supervise the tree cutting. * minimize the impact of problems created through health and safety issues related to electric shock: This can be achieved by the following: o At least one person from a project commune will be trained on the operation and safetv of the project. o For the communes where local people use electricity for the first time, the pamphlet for the electricity safety will need to be distributed to the people. This practice is currentlv used in the power sector. o A Danger-Waning" sign placed at the foot of every pole and substation; o All the protection equipment in the substation need to be checked and tested periodically according to the operation procedures. o NOT allow the local people to use electnrcity for the trapping of animal or for prevention of intruder. o Appropnrate specification of conductors connecting the house to the LV system. o Surge arresters for over voltage wave protection. o Place automatic breaker on LV side for short circuit and over current protection. o o Place lightning arrestor on appropriate equipment. All the line passing the populated areas, including low voltage, for this project have designed with the cable or insulated wires, so the accident by contacting with the bare conductors have been already minimized. o From every project commune, at least one person will be sent to the training centre for the training course, this person will be contracted with the Provincial Power Services for the routine check of the system in the commune, assisting people with the minor fixing of the electric devices or in-house wires, and collecting the monthly payment of the customers. * minimize the frequency and severity of fire hazards: This can be achieved by the following: o The substation is designed and equipped with fire detection and prevention according to Governrent regulations. o All workers will be trained for fire prevention and fighting. o There shall be regular monitoring for compliance with fire prevention regulations Frequently check the in-house wiring and connection to the system. o To eliminate the fire initiated by the short-circuit, the full protections at both MV and LV sides, whole the system will be disconnected from the grids when faults occur o Periodically check all the protection equipment, in house wiring, and connection Page 31 September 2003

50 Rural Energy I - Phase 11 8 Public Consultation and Disclosure 8.1 The Need and Benefits of Public Consultation and Disclosure The reasons for public consultation and disclosure in the Project are manifold and include: * GOV requirements: Project approval is contingent upon PAHs and local governments to agree: 1) on the scope of the Project, 2) to participate in the Project, and 3) to pav the connection and operating costs for the Project. It is expected that the proposed public consultation and disclosure, process will improve channels of communication between stakeholders and thereby enable PAHs and local govemments to support the Project. * WB requirements: According to OP 4.01, borrowers of Category B projects are to make available the Category B environmental review summary to PAHs and local NGOs. This needs to be done in a timely manner prior to consultation and in a form and language that are understandable and accessible to the groups being consulted. Category B projects are also required to make their environmental information available through World Bank InfoShop. In addition to satisfying the above requirements, the benefits of a public consultation and disclosure programme include: 1) reduced risk of misunderstanding/tension between stakeholders; 2) Improved effectiveness of the environment management plan; and 3) improved social and economic benefits for Project beneficiaries; and 4) reduced risked of Project delays. 8.2 Public Consultation and Disclosure Activities during Pre-Construction During project preparation stage ( ), the following activities were carried out Activity 1: Information & Discussion with Local Authorities on the Line Route During the field survey for the FS, the consultant discussed project line routes with commune authorities in order to find the best route with the minimum need for compensation and minimum negative impact on the environment. After the preliminary alignments were designed, the consultants sent alignment information to the communes for their further comments Activity 2: Impact Survey and Statistics Based on the agreed-upon alignment, survey teams detailed the alignment route on site and coordinated with the commune officials to make a list of PAHs' affected land and crops. The socioeconomic survey forms were delivered to affected households. The survey was carried out by the District Compensation Committee, with the participation of the commune authority Activity 3: Meetings with PAHs When the survey was completed, Distnrct Compensation Committee (in coordination with the commune officials) held meetings with PAHs having land in the line ROW and with village representatives. During the meetings, the Consultant presented numerous materials, including: Project Summary, draft RAP and draft EIA, maps of the project site, figures, tables, photos, pictures. and other support materials. Meeting officials informed participants of the Project purpose; presented the Project impacts on land and crops in detail; introduced the principles and policies of compensation and advised people not to build new structures in the line ROW. PAHs were consulted on the entitlement policy, property affected, and the compensation amount to each household. Questions posed by the PAHs were addressed and recommendations/concerns of PAHs and PC were recorded. Page 32 September 2003

51 Rural Energy I - Phase II Activity 4: Receiving Further Feedback from PAHs All interested parties submit their comments and concems to the Project components through their authorized representatives, e.g. governmental agencies (the People Committee, People Council) and/or socio-political organizations (Fatherland Front, Farmers Association, Women Union etc.) or non-governmental organizations (e.g. Vietnam Association for the Conservation of the Nature and Environment, Biological Association, Economic Association, Foresters Association etc.). These organizations collect all comments from the local people and send them to the environmental management authorities (DoNRE at provincial level or MoNRE at central level) or even to provincial People's Council or National Assembly. During the environmental review process, all comments and requirements should be discussed and conclusions be reported to the PMU, so that the project can develop proper alternatives and implement measures for mitigation of the negative impacts Activity 5: Approval and Clearance of the RAP After working with the communes, the draft compensation document was sent the Provincial Steering Committee, which includes: Finance-Pnrcing Department, Planning and Investment Department, Agriculture and Rural Development Department and DoNRE.

59 Rural Energy I - Phase II 9.2 Monitoring Plan The Project's performance and environmental effects wvill be monitored throughout pre-construction, construction, and operation. Performance monitoring is conducted to evaluate compliance with standard operating procedures (SOP), national standards, and/or contractor management documents. In most cases performance monitoring results are evaluated against cstablished performance criteria. For example a Contractor specification may be to place a tarp over all vehicles that carry soil. The performance monitoring activity could be to count the number of soil-carrying vehicles that use tarps, and compare the result against the Contractor Specification. Environmental effects monitoring is conducted to estimate the impacts of project activities on ambient environmental conditions. For example, total suspended particulate matter (i.e. dust) mav be measured to estimate the degree to which project activities are affecting ambient air qualitv. Detailed monitoring programmes should be developed during Pre-construction. Table 9.5 can be used as a guide to develop the detailed monitoring programmes. Page 41 September 2003

Through these surveys they will: 1) have the opportunity to express their requirements and concerns to the above institutions; and 2) have input to the method and units of compensation. After compensation is complete, PAHs are responsible for co-operating with Contractor to clear relevant sites in a timely manner. In addition to their own duties and entitlements, PAHs have the right to participate either directly or indirectly in the Project decision-making process during pre-construction, construction, and operation. In order to ensure that PAHs are well informed on the Project, local authorities will provide PAHs with basic knowledge on Project-related activities, and the negative and positive impacts they can have on the natural/social environment. PAHs will be allowed to bring legal action to an appropriate court if the PAH considers its claim for participation or information is ignored, groundlessly refused, or if provided information by local authorities was inadequate. 9.4 Environmental Reporting Procedures PMU will submit Project quarterly reports to the EVN and WB. The reports will include updates on the effectiveness of enviromnental mitigation measures being carried out, environmental monitoring results collected during the quarter, and a discussion of any outstanding issues which should be addressed in the forthcoming quarter. The format and detail of these reports will be discussed and agreed upon by EVN and WB prior to Project implementation. PMU will submit an annual environmental report to EVN and the WB. The report will summarise environmental protection measures implemented, problems encountered, actions taken to resolve environmental problems and the results of environmental monitoring. Page 47 September 2003

66 Rural Energy I - Phase II IMC will closely monitor the implementation of RAP and EIA. In case of accident or risk of environment. The IMC will report the results of their work everv six months during the Project period. The report will be sent to PMU, DoSTEs, DPCs and EVN and WB for review. 9.5 Capacity Building Environment management is a relativelv new task for the power sector. Therefore, prior to project implementation, there should be training for staff that will participate in EMP. Management staff will be equipped with knowledge on mitigation measures for environmental impact and monitoring plan. The following training has been conducted to date: 1) 2000: Project Launch Workshop. The main objective of the was to inform all the implementing agencies on the safeguards policies of the Bank, including the environmental issues of the project 2) May 2002: Training Workshop on the environmental issues, conducted bv intemational and national environmental specialists. The objectives of the training were: * Legal documents on environment protection * WB stipulations on safeguard policies * Responsibilities and rights of state functional bodies in environment management * Identification of typical impacts of power transmission line projccts and mitigation measures 3) August 2003: Hands-on learning-by doing training for improving environmental reports. Local and intemational consultants worked with PC 3 staff to improve draft EIA and EMP reports. 4) September 2003: Hands-on workshop for environmental assessment of transmission and distribution projects. International and national environmental specialists lead PC 3 staff and other participants on a field trip to test new tools for environmental assessment, held group work activities on challenges and opportunities to improve environmental assessment, and held lectures on WB safeguard policics and GOV environmental requirements for the Project. Future training includes the following: 5) Commune-level training: At least one person from a commune will attend a course that will provide training on (i) the basic operation of the power system for the safety of the users of the electricity, and (ii) environmental monitoring during the operation of the system to prevent the fire, electric shocks, and maintenance of the ROW. 6) EVN training. Intemal training course on how to monitor SEMPs and how to report environmental results as part of quarterly and annual project reports. 9.6 Cost of Implementing the EMP This section estimates the marginal costs for conducting the EMP's main sub-components mitigation, monitoring, and capacity building. Costs that are incurred by other project components but satisfy some aspect of the EMP are not included in this section. The division of costs between EVN and IDA funds was developed in consultation with EVN. The total marginal cost of the EMP from Pre-Construction through to the end of the first year of operation is 123,800 USD (not including contingencies, taxes, or inflation). This amount is about 0.6% of the project's estimated USD 22.7 million budget. EMP costs can be broken down as follows. Pre-Construction (9,000 USD); Construction: (89,800 USD), and Operation 25,000 USD/year. More detailed estimates are found in Table 9.6. Page 48 September 2003
