SUBPROJECT POTENTIAL IMPACTS No Impact Yes No Description of impact Construction preparation stage 1 Acquisition of land temporarily and permanently Yes - Temporary short-term land acquisition for ROW and construction stage. - Permanent long term land acquisition for tower foundations and substation. Enviromental management plan 12

13 No Impact Yes No Description of impact - Permanent land acquisition is 3,644.7m 2 while temporary land acquisition is 4,129 m 2 2 Impact of affected households Yes - 23 households will be affected by temporary and permanent land acquisition and the tree cutting; - PMU will satisfactorily compensate for these impacts according to the RPF of the DEP subproject and the RP of the subproject. 3 Any household needs to be relocated No 4 Affected to the flora due to clearance for ROW Yes The building line will inevitably excavation, clearing and other interventions in the corridor area. All damage to crop plants are adequately compensated under the provisions of the state. However, it should take measures to minimize the impact to the lowest level possible. 5 Impact on natural conservations 6 Risk to people s health caused by explosive or chemical substances No No Transmission line and transformer do not pass through areas of natural forests, protection forests or protected areas so the luminescence does not affect the flora and fauna in this area. The subproject would not use chemical substances and explosives. 7 Devalue of No - The transmission line and the substation are Enviromental management plan 13

14 No Impact Yes No Description of impact cultural and historical works located in or near any physical cultural resources. - If any objects of cultural, historical or religious values are discovered during construction, the guidance in item 8.1 will be followed. Construction stage 8 Does soil erosion cause pollution to the surface water? Yes - When opening tower and substation foundations (foundation of transformer, shift dorm, control house), the surface soil will be excavated. When it rains, this surface soil will be eroded and swept away. Materials for construction will be scattered if they are not protected. This will lead to the pollution of the surface water. However, the period of implementation at each normal tower foundation does not last long (about 1 week in maximum). In addition, construction activities are not expected to be carried out in rainy and stormy seasons with each item being implemented completely. Therefore, soil erosion as well as pollution of surface water is insignificant. 9 Noise and vibration Yes - Noise and vibration are caused by material transportation means and some activities of the subproject such as: tower erection, conductor stretching and generator. However, these means and machinery are managed by the expiration date, the construction time is also managed (in daytime), and horns should Enviromental management plan 14

15 No Impact Yes No Description of impact be limited when crossing residential areas. - If the work is near other infrastructure ones, it must be embanked and covered in order to limit the effect on nearby infrastructure works caused by vibration that may lead to landslide. For this subproject, its position is far from other infrastructure works so there is no impact on them. 10 Air pollution Yes - Air pollution can be occurred due to the exhaust and dust of material trucks during transportation, loading materials; or dust during subproject implementation. - However, with the average number of 1 truck per week - 2 trips per day for every tower foundation and 2 trucks per month 2 trips per day for substation (implementation in 3 months). Therefore, the level of dust and exhaust by transportation affected on the environment is minor. 11 Rural traffic obstruction Yes - Materials and equipment are transported in long distance from the yard and storehouse of PMU by specific trucks with suitable packing to the temporary subproject areas. After that, they are transported to the construction sites by 5 tons to 7.5 tons trucks. Building materials such as: sand, stones, cement will be supplied by the local suppliers and transported directly to the construction sites. - With the average frequency of transporting as above (item 9) and constructing activities Enviromental management plan 15

16 No Impact Yes No Description of impact such as: soil excavating and conductor stretching, local traffic obstruction will happen. However, because the local traffic is low and the time for loading materials and equipment is short (about 1 hour), building materials (sand, stones, soil, etc.) is loaded by trucks so the level of traffic jam is not high. 12 Damage or degrading to rural trafficways 13 Damage to biological resources No No All materials and equipment are in load sharing, suitable for the load of roads. Trafficways here are known as highway (1A National highway, township roads and some other inter-village, inter-commune roads). In the subproject construction site, there are not many wild animals and plants, mainly birds, bats and squirrels. The permanent acquisition land is about 121m 2 / 1 tower foundation (02 positions) and the substation acquired about 3,402.7m 2. These positions are located at rice land. Therefore, as the level of flora surface clearance as well as land acquisition for animals is not considerable, there is no loss to the biological diversity in the area. 14 Solid waste causes by soil excavation, tree cutting in ROW and constructing activities Yes Solid waste due to soil excavation (remains of soil and stones), tree cutting (body) or construction activities (junk iron, stones, sand, plastic bottles, cement wraps) will be generated during implementation. The impacts of solid waste will be minimized. 15 Impact on Yes It is expected to build 01 camp in the Enviromental management plan 16

17 No Impact Yes No Description of impact environment caused by the workers construction site of the substation for workers. Local people s houses will be rented for warehouses and storehouses of material and equipment. Therefore, water and sewages of workers will affect the surrounding environment if no method to protect the environment is applied. However, the organization of construction site is always concerned by the investors. Bidding documents will include requirements on environmental mitigation measures during construction: installing septic tanks, create drainage channels, installing garbage pits, etc. in compliance with the regulations of the local area. Hence, the impact on environment by workers is not considerable. 16 Conflict between construction workers local people and Yes - There are differences between the workers and local people in income, lifestyle and custom. However, there is not deep conflict between them because they all use Vietnamese as a means of communication. The workers have to follow regulations of contractors as well as the local area. To minimize the risks of conflicts, the subproject uses some local labour in manual work. - The subproject will bring benefits to the local community so it gains lots of agreement from the local people as well as the close coordination local Authorities. 17 Health and safety for Yes Accidents can occur during implementation if safety regulations is not strictly followed, Enviromental management plan 17

18 No Impact Yes No Description of impact workers local people and such as: checking tools before use, setting up warning signs (at sites of incomplete pole foundation, at sites of generators and conductor stretching, sites near roads, sites where loading materials and equipment is being carried out, sites where there are people working high above). These accidents can happen not only to the workers but also to local people. These risks can be mitigated to the minimum. 18 Landmine or bomb left after war Operation stage No This area has been mined and used across multiple crop cultivation should be able to mine left over after the war is very low. However, the PMU will coordinate with military units to demining plans before construction. 19 Development and poverty reduction Yes - Mainly taking part in the attraction of investment and local economic development because industrial production cannot be done without power. - Assisting agricultural production and other services including healthcare and education. 20 Causing partition of natural environment that lead to the easy invasion into wild land No - The subproject would not build any access roads. - After the construction of tower foundation and the tower, the temporary acquired layout will be returned as it was in the past. The entire flora less than 4m in ROW will be remained so the impact to natural Enviromental management plan 18

19 No Impact Yes No Description of impact environment is not significant. The subproject is not located in wild land so there is no impact. 21 Health and safety for operators and local people Yes Electrical shocks and other accidents can occur. However, all measures and safe tools are always checked routinely under the regulations for every tool and frequently before use. Danger indicators always have to be remained so accidents are unlikely to happen. 22 Electric magnetic field No The transmission line and the substation are designed and constructed according to the current regulations and standards of the Power Sector, in which, the calculation of electrical magnetic field negative effects and the standards of electrical safety and safety in operation is applied in order to avoid harm to people. before putting the subproject into operation, all safe indicators have to be specified through tests, experiments and acceptance to ensure that they meet the standards and regulations set by the investors, Operational Management Unit, contractors so the operators and the local people will not be harmed by the magnetic field. 23 Impact on planes, birds and bats Yes In the subproject area, there are few flying animals like bats or squirrels but a few kinds of birds and domestic animals, so there is no impact on flying animals. The tower/pole height is about 29.7m. The Enviromental management plan 19

20 No Impact Yes No Description of impact towers will be equipped with optical sensing alarms in order to ensure common safety for the flying, especially safety for helicopter or landing and off-landing activities at the outer yard. 24 Pollution by oilwastes No The subproject would not remove the old transformer and would not use the equipment that contains PCB and other dangerous chemical substances. Transformer oil may be leaked in case of failure. However, this is rarely occurred and there is already the tank for containing this oil. Leakage oil will be collection without spilling on the surrounding areas and without pollution caused by oil sewage. 25 Risks of fire and explosion Yes Transformers and other equipment can be exploded and transformer oil can be leaked when faults occur. Therefore, fire-fighting equipment and fault oil tank must be equipped. Enviromental management plan 20
