7 TEP - Dong Anh 220 kv Substation Environment Management Plan 2.2. World Bank Safeguard Policies An environmental and social screening of the subproject was undertaken in line with the OP 4.01 and it showed that the World Bank s policies on Environmental Assessment (OP/BP 4.01), and Involuntary Resettlement (OP/BP 4.12) will be triggered for the subproject. The screening has also resulted in categorizing the subproject as a Category B project. In addition, the Bank s requirements on public consultation and information disclosure will need to be followed. Environmental Assessment (OP/BP 4.01): Environmental Assessment (EA) is an umbrella policy for the Bank s safeguard policies. The overarching objective is to ensure that Bank-financed projects are environmentally sound and sustainable, and that decision-making is improved through appropriate analysis of actions and of their likely environmental impacts. The EA process is intended to identify, avoid and mitigate potential impacts of Bank operations. EA takes into account the natural environment (air, water, and land); human health and safety; social aspects (involuntary resettlement, indigenous peoples, and physical cultural resources); and transboundary and global environmental aspects. EA considers natural and social aspects in an integrated way. This subproject triggers OP 4.01 because it involves the construction and operation of a high-voltage substation and connecting overhead transmission lines, requiring the identification, mitigation and monitoring of potential adverse environmental and social impacts. As required by OP 4.01, the subproject prepared an EIA and an EMP that meet the Government s and the World Bank s safeguards requirements. By the TEP appraisal, the subproject draft EIA and EMP were disclosed locally at the project site and the Bank s InfoShop in Washington DC on January 24, 2014 as required by OP 4.01 and the Bank s policy on access to information. The final EIA and EMP were disclosed locally at the subproject sites, at the InforShop, and the Vietnam Development Information Center on April 18, Involuntary Resettlement (OP/BP 4.12) The Involuntary Resettlement policy seeks to prevent severe long-term hardship, impoverishment, and environmental damage to the affected peoples during involuntary resettlement. OP 4.12 applies whether or not affected persons must move to another location. The Bank describes all these processes and outcomes as involuntary resettlement, or simply resettlement, even when people are not forced to move. Resettlement is involuntary when the government has the right to expropriate land or other assets and when affected people do not have the option to retain the livelihood situation that they have. This policy is triggered because the subproject it would have impacts involving the temporary and permanent involuntary taking of land and the loss of structures and assets associated with the land for the construction of the substation and the associated connecting line. By appraisal, the subproject has prepared and disclose the raft RP locally at the project site and the Bank s InfoShop in Washington DC on January 24, The RP includes the measures to ensure that displaced people are: (i) informed about the options regarding resettlement; (ii) consulted and offered alternative resettlement choices; and (iii) provided with effective compensation and livelihood restoration. The final RP was disclosed locally at the subproject sites, at the InforShop, and the Vietnam Development Information Center on April 18, World Bank Group Environmental, Health, and Safety Guidelines POWER ENGINEERING CONSULTING JS COMPANY No.1 3

8 TEP - Dong Anh 220 kv Substation Environment Management Plan World Bank-financed projects should also take into account the World Bank Group Environmental, Health, and Safety Guidelines 1 (known as the "EHS Guidelines"). The EHS Guidelines are technical reference documents with general and industry-specific examples of Good International Industry Practice. The EHS Guidelines contain the performance levels and measures that are normally acceptable to the World Bank Group and are generally considered to be achievable in new facilities at reasonable costs by existing technology. The environmental assessment process may recommend alternative (higher or lower) levels or measures, which, if acceptable to the World Bank, become project- or site-specific requirements. This subproject should conform the Environmental, Health, and Safety Guidelines for Electric Power Transmission and Distribution and the General EHS Guidelines. 3. SUBPROJECT DESCRIPTION 3.1.

15 TEP - Dong Anh 220 kv Substation Environment Management Plan 4. BASELINE DATA 4.1. Geographical Location and Population The 220kV substation subproject will be located on the paddy rice land area belonging to the communes of Thuy Lam and Lien Ha, Dong Anh district, Hanoi city. Dong Anh district is the gateway to the west of Hanoi with a total natural land area of 18,230 ha, divided into 23 administrative communes and 1 town including 156 villages and 62 wards, and with a population of about 331,000 people. Dong Anh district has favorable natural conditions for economic and social development, and significant transportation advantages facilitating good and trade exchange between Hanoi and the north eastern provinces. The district administratively borders Soc Son district to the north; Bac Ninh province and Gia Lam district to the East; Hong River to the south; and Vinh Phuc province on the west Topography and Geology Topography As mentioned above 220kV Dong Anh is proposed to be located on paddy field so geomorphologic terrain on the region is rather flat, it belongs to accumulation plain terrain type. Topographical grade: Topography of III grade. Geology Geology in the region comprises of soil layer: Clay, blended clay, originated from quaternary formation. Physo-geological phenomena Earthquakes According to earthquake zoning map in Vietnam created by the Geo-physics Institute under National Technology and Natural Science in 1995, it is found that in the proposed site for substation, the earthquake up to grade 7 may occur. Substation is located on river/marine sedimentation terrain, engineering geological condition is rather complicated. The phenomena can occur, such as sliding to foundation wall, swampy in shallow field. Suitable solution shall be applied to foundation to ensure long-term stability Hydro- Meteorological Characteristics Meteorology Dong Anh 220kV Substation is located entirely in an area affected by climate and hydrological regime of Hong and Ca Lo river basin, which basically belongs to the tropical climate region with cold winter and hot humid summer heavy rain. The average wind speed in the area is about 2.1m/s with the prevailing west, southeast, and east directions from April to September and north and northwest directions from October to March. The yearly average temperature is 23.6 o C. Maximum temperature is up to 42.8 o C, and often occurs in May and lowest temperature is 2.7 o C, and often occurs in January. The yearly average humidity is about 82%, with the highest level of 100%, and the lowest possible level of below 16%. POWER ENGINEERING CONSULTING JS COMPANY No. 1 13

16 TEP - Dong Anh 220 kv Substation Environment Management Plan The annual average rainfall in the region is relatively high reaching 1611 mm. The rainy season begins in May and ends in October. The average number of rainy days in a year are about days. The number of average thunderstorms per year at the substation site is 58.6 days. In order to determine the lighting region partition in the area of the 22kV transmission line supplying electricity to the station, using the lightning observation data of Lang station. thunderstorms could occur any day, month in year but mostly in the summer especially in the afternoon from 13h to evening, maximum thunderstorm month is from May to September coincide with high rainfall; time occur thunderstorm is 1 2h, having thunder. From November to March is period of monsoon activity, there is little thus thunderstorm in the period, about 2 3 days per month. Hydrology: The flow regime of the Red River system is divided into two distinct seasons, dry season and flood season. The dry season lasts from November to May next year. The total volume of water in the dry season accounts for 20 30% of the annual flow. The driest time occurs in January, February, and March with a total water volume of about % of the annual flow. The flood season starts from June to October. The total water volume in flood season accounts for 70 80%. August is the month with the largest flow accounting for 19 23% of the total annual flow. The river and stream water levels seasonally affect the substation site, resulting in dry rice fields during the dry season. In the flood season (rainy season), the infield rain and heavy flood in the rivers cause flooding in the fields, especially in the July, August, and September. A historical rain in August 1971 in the Red River area and a heavy rain happened in October November 2008 caused flooding in many parts in Ha Noi. However, Dong Anh 500kV substation and the connecting line will be constructed on elevated land sites of Lien Ha and Thuy Lam communes, thus would only affected by flooding by rain. The flooding level is from m and lasts for a few days Land use Dong Anh district has the natural land area of 18,230 ha, including agricultural land of 10,015 ha, making up 54.76%; the remainder is of specialized land, urban, unused and forestry land.

However, the project is located in arable agricultural land, population density and traffic are not high. Overall, air quality in the project region have not contaminated, thus the health of people living the region is insured, all of criterias (CO, SO2, CO, noise, and vibration) are in the allowable limit of National Technical Standard. Water quality Surface water sources in the region is diversity on population level. Water quality is quite good in the Red rivers but it is polluted in main river Nhue river, Kim Nguu river which is playing the role of the region sewerage. In general, water and underground quality in the project is quite good, through evaluating the analysis result of water sample in and adjacent the project and compared with the national standards found that most the criteria are located in allowable limit, only Coliforms and Fe are higher than allowable standard. Therefore, to meet domestic use purposes, underground water should be treated to reject metal before using in domestic purposes. Soil quality Most of the heavy metals in soil at the survey area have lower value and within the allowable limits. Soil in the project area is agricultural land to plant rice, this proved that soil quality at the project is quite good, not polluted by heavy metal. Location of the subproject is in an open area, air is very clean. There are no industrial, handicraft activities in the area. There is no observed pollution in term of water, air and soil. People are living in surrounding area of the subproject site. Main land use pattern in the site is rice field. No forest is presented in the area. There are no wild animals in the subproject area, except for such species as small frog, mouse, small snakes and intersects Socio-economic status of the project area Dong Anh district has an advanced economic growth rate, which has 17.4% for many years. Commercial and service activities are increasingly developing towards a modern civilized society. Many new areas are formed such as Thang Long industrial and Nguyen Khe industrial zones that have contributed to the creation of nearly jobs for local labors. The agricultural sector continues to be a strong investment area and interest of the district, with high level of total investment. Restructuring plants and animals having high economic value has been a focus. The poverty rate reduces by 2%. The district focuses on the development of culture, especially social goals of education. In recent years, the district maintains the right scale of education, quality of key and comprehensive education of the district are maintained, striving to maintain universal POWER ENGINEERING CONSULTING JS COMPANY No. 1 15

Public health, family population and children are of attention of the authority, especially on building national standard communal health with 100% of communes having medical doctors Protected areas, natural reserves, sensitive areas, cultural property, historical monument, temple and pagoda in the project area. The project is located in an area of agricultural land. There are no any natural reserve area, sensitive area, cultural property, historical monument, temple and pagoda in the project area. The district has no natural reserve areas, national parks. In the the Thuy Lam commune, has Sai temple is 5km far from the subproject. 5. POTENTIAL IMPACTS The subproject would contribute to meeting the demand load and power safety in Hanoi city and thereby bring about significant socioeconomic benefit. Apart from such benefits, the subproject may also result in environmental and socioeconomic impacts which are adverse to the local conditions. The environmental screening of the subproject indincates that it is eligible for financing considering that the subproject would not involve possible high risk and would not create potential adverse impacts on (a) critical natural habitats and/or protected area including proposed protected areas; (b) loss or damage to cultural property, including sites having archeological (prehistoric), paleontological, historical, religious, cultural and unique natural values, graves and graveyards; (c) water regime, particularly water flow and water quality; and (d) local traffic. The implementation of the subproject would mainly cause land acquisition, increased dust generation, air pollution, domestic waste, and health and safety issues due to construction activites and electrical magnetic field. However, these impacts are not significant, temporary, localized impacts with available mitigation measures. Only OP 4.01 and OP 4.12 are triggered for this subproject. The potential negative impacts of the subproject are identified in table 5.1 and could be minimized by applying the proposed mitigation measures developed for the subproject which is described in Table 6.1 of Section 6.
