6 1. Introduction 1.1. Project background 1. The Power Transmission Investment Program ( Investment Program ) is an integral part of the National Power Development Master Plan VII ( PDMP VII ) and comprises of: - Transmission Network Expansion Component to expand and upgrade 500 kv and 220 kv transmission lines and associated substations throughout Viet Nam; - Operational Improvement Component for strengthening operational effectiveness and efficiency of the National Power Transmission Corporation ( NPT ); and - Project Implementation Support Component for detailed technical design, construction supervision, safeguard compliance, and preparing subsequent projects of the Investment Program. 2. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) provides financing for the development the subprojects of Power Transmission Investment Program - Tranche 1, which includes the subproject of the 220 kv Song May Uyen Hung Transmission Line. 3. The National Power Transmission Corporation (NPT) of Viet Nam is the executing agency (EA) while the Southern Power Project Management Board (SPPMB) is the implementing agency (IA) of the sub-projects. 4. The sub-project has a total length of about km from 500kV Song May substation in Dong Nai province to 220kV Uyen Hung substation in Binh Duong province. Locations of this subproject are listed in Table 1: Table 1. Location of 220kV Song May Uyen Hung Transmission Line Item Province District Commune Remark 1 Dong Nai Trang Bom Vinh Cu Bac Son Tan An 2 Binh Duong North Tan Uyen Tan Uyen town Thuong Tan and Tan My Uyen Hung ward Former Tan Uyen district was separated into Tan Uyen town and North Tan Uyen district based on the Decision No. 136/NQ-CP of the Government dated December 20,

7 5. The 220kV Song May Uyen Hung Transmission Line starts from the 220kV busbar of the 500kV Song May Substation at Bac Son commune, Trang Bom district, Dong Nai province to ends at the 220kV busbar of the 220kV Uyen Hung Substation at Uyen Hung district, Binh Duong province. Figure 1 is location map of the subproject. Figure 1. Location Map of 220kV Song May Uyen Hung Transmission Line 6. The diagram of the subproject presents in the Figure 2. Figure 2. Diagram of 220kV Song May-Uyen Hung Transmission Line 2

8 7. The subproject will affect 214 households and 08 institutions and agencies in which 36 households is acquired land for constructing tower foundation and 15 households with grade 4 and 5 are affected. There are not any public facilities, historical and cultural structures affected by the subproject. 8. Total land affected by subproject is about 469, m2, of which 15,478.4 m2 of land, including 7,614.7 m2 managed by the Government, is permanently acquired for tower foundations and 453, m2 of land affected by ROW. 9. The total land of 7,086.4 m2 in Binh Duong province is permanently occupied by construction of tower foundations (38 towers). While the total area for constructing 32 tower foundations in Dong Nai is 8,392 m2 including m2 propertied by the local GOV that will not be compensated. 10. The main environmental issues during construction phase of the subproject are identified as following: Impact on vegetation: Trees and crops will be potentially damaged by construction activities such as assembly of steel towers, transmission line stringing, and temporary facilities such as materials storage, construction camp, and assembly areas. Soil runoff: Dong Nai River, Song May stream, irrigation and drainage canals in the subproject area will be affected by potential runoff during the construction phase. Impact on water quality: domestic sewage from construction workers, contamination due to spillage of oil and other lubricants, contamination due to disposal of construction wastes, and wastewater from washing of construction equipment and vehicles will potentially pollute the rivers, including the drainage canals and irrigation canals. Impact on air quality: Air quality in the area can be affected by exhaust gases containing total suspended particulates (TSP), SOx, NOx, and CO due to the movement of construction vehicles, excavation and backfilling works. Noise: Movement of vehicles transporting, construction activities make noisy and impact to surrounding residential areas. Construction waste: During the construction of the transmission towers, construction wastes such as discarded construction materials, cement bags, wood, steel, lubricants, fuels, and vegetation debris will be generated. 3

9 Disruption to traffic: The movement of construction vehicles along provincial and communal roads may cause increased traffic volume to and from the construction sites. Damage to infrastructure: The movement of vehicles and other construction activities may cause damage to irrigation and drainage canals crossed by or adjacent to the construction sites. The increased movement of vehicles along the existing access roads may also potentially damage the roads. Occupational health and safety: Construction activities may cause harm and danger to the lives and welfare of workers. Community health and safety: The project construction will result to impacts to community health and safety such as construction traffic, transport of materials, fires, emergency spills of materials, and unauthorized entry by the villagers into dangerous working areas. 11. To meet Vietnam regulations on environmental protection and ADB safeguard policy, the IEE report and EPC of the 220kV Song May Uyen Hung Transmission Line were approved by ADB and the state management agency on environment protection Report Purpose 12. This semi-annual report will describe progress with implementation of the EMP and compliance issues and carry out the environmental and social management programs during the work execution phase. The main contents are as follows: (i) (ii) Subproject implementation progress; Compliance with ADB loan covenants and applicable government laws, regulations and requirements; (iii) Incorporation of safeguard requirements into project contractual arrangements; (iv) (v) (vi) Environmental mitigations and compensation measures implemented; Summary of inspection activities; Key issues and recommendation. 4

Key Issues And Recommendation 7.1. Key Issues Safety and land subsidence 33. Project s activities of tower erection and implementing cable stringing may cause unsafe for worker, community in especial cases as follows: - In the rainy and stormy season and the works in lower land area such as tower foundation No. 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 27, 22A, 23A and 23B. - In areas adjacent to the existing transmission lines such as in area crossing the 550kV Song May Tan Dinh transmission line at location from 4B to G5A, and 500kV Pleiku-Tan Dinh at location from G8A to G8B, and in area of parallel with existing transmission line at location of G0-G1, G5B G6, G6 G7, G9-G10. - In the area crossing Dong Nai River, provincial road N0 768 and N

27 34. Some tower locations have sign of land subsidence, particularly at tower No. 29 and No.37. Hygienic sanitation at worker camp and material storage area 35. Contractor uses some area for worker camps and material storage areas such as material storage at Thai My commune, worker camp in Bac Son commune. It generates domestic waste and redundant materials from worker daily activities and construction works. The contractor shall keep hygienic sanitation before demobilize workers and hand over these areas to local people Recommendation Safety and land subsidence 36. The Contractor shall apply measures to prevent the works flooded in rainy season, especially in the lower areas. 37. The Contractor should enhance safety measures for workers, especially working in high elevation, in area crossing and parallel with the existing transmission. The Contractor shall apply, but not limited to, the following measures: - The Contractor should provide sufficient personal safety devices for workers including: safety boots, helmets, gloves, protective clothes, safety belt; - Theo Contractor should provide medicine cabinet and equipment for first aid at the site; - Each construction team should have at least a staff who knows first aid for emergencies. 38.
