Environmental impact assessments Screening Question Yes No Remarks 1. Is project located near or in sensitive area with regards to? Cultural heritage X The project power line would not go through the culture or history works so it has no impact. Reservation zone X The project s power line would not go through the conservation areas so it has no impact. Wetlands X The project s line would mainly go through the hill so they does not go through the wetlands. Forests X The project s line would not go through the forests so it has no impact. Estuary X The project s line would not go through the estuaries so it has no impact. Reservation buffer zone X The project s line would not go through Environmental Management Plan 13

14 Screening Question Yes No Remarks the buffer zone of protection areas so it has no impact. Rivers and reservoirs X Line from pole No 9 to pole No 10 goes through lake. There is no foundation next to lake. The impact is considered to be small. Canaland irrigation network X The project s line goes through some canal but they are not the location to build foundation for the poles so it has no impact. 2. Potential environmental impact, by project? Intrusion to cultural and historical sites X The project s line does not go through areas that have the culture or history works so it has no impact. Encroachment on critical ecosystem (e.g. sensitive or protected area, national park, nature reserve etc...) X The project s line does not go through the conservation areas so it has no impact. Intrusion to ecosystem (ex: nature reserve, national park) Affecting landscape and resulting in waste Undermining vegetation cover or cutting down trees for site during site clearance for substations and along the transmission line? X X Because of corridor clearance, there will be small changes in landscape and increase waste. However, impact is low and mitigation measures will be applied.. The route mainly goes through the average high and low hill, most land areas are using to plant corn, potatoes, cassava, sugar cane and short-term fruit-tree such as pineapple, so it is unnecessary to cut down them (the vegetation cover is only impacted at foundation positions) Change surface water quality or river course X The route does not go through any river, pond or lake so it has no impact. Increase water turbidity due to change in surface water quality or erosion X The excavated soil (1,318 m3) will be given to inhabitant in subproject area to plant tree and farm produce. There fore, there is no excavated soil after Environmental Management Plan 14

15 Screening Question Yes No Remarks completing the subproject. Because the topography where the line passes through is mainly the average high and low hilly and mountainous areas, while constructing if in the raining season without projection measure for the foundation it will cause erosion and impact the flow. Domestic waste water by workers is discharged directly into outside water bodies? X The constructing units rent private houses, so the wastewater is collected into the general sewage system. Construction waste water is discharged directly into outside water bodies? X Result in more dust? X - Dust will be generated from soil excavation, ground leveling activities, particularly in dry season. The affected are people living and working around the subproject site. - Dust would also be generated by transportation means that carry materials and equipment during the construction. The affected are people involved in the traffic during the transportation of construction materials or equipment, either on local roads or on provincial or national roads. - The measures described in section VI will be implemented to minimise the impacts of dusts. Increase noise and/or vibration? X - Noise and vibration are generated by operation of equipment, transportation of materials, transportation means, ground leveling, pole erection, and operation of power generator (if any). - The substations will be located on foot hills, far from residential areas, and hence noise and vibration during construction would not affect local communities. Environmental Management Plan 15

16 Screening Question Yes No Remarks - Construction materials will be provided and transported to the construction sites by local suppliers. - Base on above-mentioned reasons, impacts on increasing the noise and/or vibration at the subproject area are assessed as not significant and can be mitigated. - Relevant measures listed in section VI will be implemented to minimise these impacts. Permanent land acquisition X Permanent occupied land area is 1,828 square metre Temporary land acquisition X Temporary occupied land area is 19,464 square metre Resetlement of households? If yes, how many households? Would the resettlement site is environmentally and/or culturally sensitive X X The route mainly goes through the low hills that plant short-term crops. The constructing area does not impact local household so there is not any household to move. Is there any risk of disease dissemination from construction workers to the local peoples (and vice versa)? X - Construction force includes one construction team/per commune, each team will have about 10 workers. The total number of workers on the site at the peak time is about 250 people but they are in many places of the route, not gathering in one place. Therefore, the spread of disease will also be limited. -Interactions with local community may pose the risks of STD/HIV/AIDs diseases transmission between workers and local community. Relevant measures described in section VI of this EMP will be implemented to minimise these risks. Environmental Management Plan 16

17 Screening Question Yes No Remarks Is there any potential for conflict between construction workers and local peoples (and vice versa)? X Workers and local people are different in income, lifestyle, custom thus it will generate small conflict but it will be limited. Are explosive and hazardous chemicals used within the Project? In the past, there was any accident incurred due to landmines or explosive materials remaining from the war? X X Will Project's construction cause disturbance to the transportation in the Project's site? Project's construction will cause any damage to the existing local roads, bidges or other rural infrastructures? Will soil excavation during Project's construction cause soil erosion? X X X Great impact: The transportation of material and equiptment can cause traffic jam. The excavation impacts the quality of the road and cause the traffic. - The heavy transport vehicles can damage the current roads. - The impacts on traffic will also be be managed by the measures presented in this EMP The constructing time for each pole foundation is not long (maximum about one week) and avoiding to construct in raining seasons and constructing definitively each item, so the erosion is negligible. Will Project need to open new access roads? X Using the current road system to construct. These roads will be improved for constructing and traffic of local people. Will Project cause fragmentation of habitat of flora and fauna? Will Project cause impact on air quality? Will Project cause accident risks for workers and community during X X X In the corridor if there are crops and trees that affect the constructing process must be cut off. The impact level to the environment by exhaust fumes of traffic means during transportation will be limited by covering, avoid scattering. It is possible to occur transprort traffict to worker and area community during subproject implement. However, all Environmental Management Plan 17

18 Screening Question Yes No Remarks construction phase? workers are disseminated implementing process and method of safety at work. Thus, the ocurrence of accident will be limitted maximum. Will Project generate hazardous wastes including PCBs from the replacement of transformers? Will Project cause risk to safety and human health (electric and magnetic fields, electric shock etc.)? X X There is no removed transformer in this subproject. Due to there is no PCBs. waste - The transmission lines shall be designed and constructed in accordance with applicable standards of power industry (in accordance with Vietnam applicable technical regulations, electromagnetic field (EMF) < 5 kv/m), wherein impacts from EMF and safety standards and operation safety have to be taken into due account. - Prior to operation, all safety indicators shall be tested and accepted by the project owner, contractor and operation entity therefore workers shall not be suffering from such EMF impacts. - In the phase of commissioning, the safety in power use of households of ethinic minorities who use electricity for the first time also needs to be paid attention to minimize the risk of electric shock. However, this impact is very little and avoidable if the people are trained well in safe power use. - The mitigation measures in Section VI will also be implemented to minimise safety risks Since implementation of the subproject would mainly cause land acquisition, increased dust generation, air pollution, and domestic wastes. However, these impacts are not significant, temporary, and localized, and can be mitigated available mitigation measures. Therefore, the subproject is assessed as B environmental category and eligible for funding by the World Bank. Environmental Management Plan 18
