GENERAL INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Trung Son Hydropower project shall be built on Ma river, in territory of Trung Son commune, Quan Hoa district, Thanh Hoa province with an installed capacity of 260MW and a mean annual electricity of GWh, which is a multi-purpose project providing power generation and flood control benefits. Proposed dam is about 40km from Lao PDR downstream, reservoir tail is about 10Km from the border. A roller compacted concrete (RCC) dam is 84.5 m in height with 513 m crest length. Full supply level is 160m. Total capacity of the reservoir is million m 3. Flood Control storage is 112 million m 3. The reservoir covering an area of Km2 will inundate a mixture of forest and agricultural land. Total estimated cost is US$ 386 million, of which there is an estimation of US$2.9 million for environment managing tasks (except for the tackled requirements which the bidders must follow) and US$35.1 million for compensation, resettlement and livelihood restoration for affected people. EVN has officially applied for a WB loan of USD330 million from IBRD. At present estimation, there is a total of about 10,591 people belonging to 2,327 households to be affected by the project as a whole. About 533 households shall be displaced. Of those, it is estimated that about 1,945 people of 486 households shall be affected by construction of access road, 7,012 people of 1,516 households shall be affected by construction of main dam and dam associated structures, reservoir, and reservoir upstream and downstream impacts. Households to be displaced due to the project impacts shall relocate to 4 planned resettlement sites. Resettlement site No.1 to be built in Trung Son commune, Quan Hoa district, Thanh Hoa province; Resettlement site No.2 - to be built in Muong Ly and Tam Chung communes, Muong Lat district, Thanh Hoa province; Resettlement Site No.3 to be built in Trung Ly commune, Muong Lat district, Thanh Hoa province; Resettlement Site No.4 to be built in Tan Xuan commune, Moc Chau district, Son La province. The Basic Design of such resettlement sites have been developed and approved by the Client. It is expected that after the completion of the detailed design, the construction period of resettlement sites is 12 months. An environmental screening was undertaken in line with the World Bank safeguards policy requirements and it showed that the World Bank s policies on Environmental Assessment 5

6 Procedure/ Regulations (OP/BP 4.01), Natural Habitats (OP/BP 4.04), Involuntary Resettlement (OP/BP 4.12) and Policy on Access to Information are triggered for the subproject. The implementation of the subproject would cause both negative and positive impacts to the subproject area. The negative impacts will occur during pre-construction, construction, and operation. However, these impacts are not significant, temporary, localized, and can be mitigated with available mitigation measures. The positive impacts will occur mostly during operation. Positive impacts will likely be significant and positive due to their long term nature at both the local and regional level. Therefore, the subproject is assessed as B environmental category. The Government s regulation on environmental assessment requires submission of an Environmental Protection Commitment (EPC) for the subproject. Three EPC reports were prepared and submitted to the District People s Committees of Quan Hoa, Muong Lat and Moc Chau in April The EPC report for Resettlement Site No.1 was approved by the People s Committees of Quan Hoa District under Decision No.233/UBND-TNMT dated 27/05/2013. The EPC report for Resettlement Site No.2 & 3 was approved by the People s Committees of Muong Lat District under Decision No.305/UBND-TNMT dated 22/05/2013. Regarding to resettlement site No.4 located in buffer zone of Xuan Nha natural reserved area, environmental and ecological impacts generated from the land-use s purpose changing and resettlement construction will be detailedly analyzed in an independent EIA prepared by another consultant. This report will be submitted to and approved by Appraisal Council of MONRE (as stipulated in Environmental Protection Law of GoV). Consulting firm for this assignment is being selected and the draft of report is intended to be completed by December, In addition to fulfilling the government requirements, an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) that complies with the World Bank OP 4.01 needs to be prepared for this subproject. 1.2 EMP Purposes and Scope Main purposes of EMP: (i) Present the mitigation measures to minimize the potential impacts generated during the phases of a project. (ii) Develop the environmental monitoring programs in order to control and evaluate the efficiency of the mitigation measures; (iii) Estimated cost to implement EMP. 6

7 EMP will also be in compliance with the Environmental Management Framework of the Trung Son Project, which is included in Annex K of the EMP of Trung Son hydropower project. Scope of EMP: This EMP is used to address impacts and mitigation measures to be implemented during the pre-construction, construction, and operation phases of the resettlement sites, including work items as follows: (i) Ground leveling; (ii) House construction; (iii) Construction of public works: Community house, Kindergartens, Primary school and houses for teachers; health care centre; (iv) Construction of internal roads, suspension bridge, ferry; (v) Construction of water supply system; (vi) Construction of electricity system; (vii) Construction of irrigation system; (viii) Land reclamation. 2.

27 4. THE MAIN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS An environmental impact assessment is an assessment of the possible positive or negative impact that a proposed project may have on the environment, together consisting of the environmental, social and economic aspects. To identify and evaluate the impacts of any one project, there are various methods commonly used for environmental impact assessment such as checklist method; matrix method; and cost-benefit analysis method. In this part of report, the checklist method is applied which is widely used and generally sufficient for small-scale projects having Category B classification. The construction of the subproject will mainly caused impacts on land acquisition, increased levels of dust, air pollution, and wastes. However, these impacts are not significant, temporary and localized and can reduce by mitigation measures. Table 1: Summary of impacts No. Impacts Manigtude Duration Description of impact Pre-construction stage Impacts assessment 1 Land acquisition Medium Permanent As master plan, total area of resettlement sites is 4,357ha (see table). Of which, area for construction of infrastructure and houses is ha (1.86%), the land reclamation for agricultural cultivation is ha (3.21%). Existing forest area assigned to household management is 4, ha (94.93%).

Other areas are predominantly uncultivated land with shrubs and grasses. Impacts assessment 2 Impact on Subproject affected household Medium Permanent The resettlement sites are constructed in agricultural and planted forest land. There is not any household needs to be relocated and no resettlement is required. Number of affected households is 357. Compensation plan will be prepared and implemented by the project owner.

Normally, life cycle of bamboo from growing to cultivated time is about five years. The newly developed areas are also used for bamboo planting and/or agricultural cultivation that helps to compensate the loss of green coverage in each project area. minor temporary All resettlements sites are located in uncultivated land and/or planted forest (mainly bamboo) with low bio-diversity but high vegetation coverage. Through community survey, there is only some popular animals such as bird, rodent and reptiles that can be found in these areas. There is not any sign of endangered species. Moreover, daily activities of local people such as transportation, agricultural cultivation, bamboo planting and even hunting prohibit the widespread of these animals. However, the construction activities such as site clearance, ground leveling and noise from construction equipment and vehicles and the operation of worker s camps can generate impacts to the local habitats. The impact mainly happens in the beginning time of construction (about 3 months from commencement) and needs to have suitable mitigation measures. Minor 29

30 No. Impacts Manigtude Duration Description of impact 7 Dust Medium temporary Dust mainly sourced from (i) construction site and (ii) routes of transporting construction materials (cement, sand, stone, steel, brick, etc.) and excavated soil and construction waste to disposal sites. Most of the resettlement sites are separated to the existing residential areas with distance varied from 1km to 3km. The existing green coverage is quite good. Dust mainly generates during the ground leveling and road construction (about 3 months) and significantly reduces during house construction. Impacts assessment medium and mitigable For the transportation routes, based on assessment of construction material demand, the number of truck mobilized is estimated as follow: Resettlement site Material waste (basic design) Number of truck Time Site No.1 9,900 tons 2-10 trucks/ day 12 months Site No.2 6,000 tons 2-6 trucks/ day 12 months Site No.3 7,800 tons 2-8 trucks/ day 12 months Site No.4 10,000 tons 2-10 trucks/ day 12 months With just around ten vehicle/truck predominantly operated in the first 3 months of construction stage, the impact is evaluated as minor, temporary and mitigated by contractor s measures. However, 03 positions including Nang village and Tai Chanh Junior School (Site No.2) and Ta Lao village (Site No.4) located on road sides are directly exposed to dust and needs to have effective mitigation measures. There is no new quarry and borrow pit required to be opened. All construction material will be provided by local suppliers and/or from existing quarries/borrow pits that newly opened for the 30

31 No. Impacts Manigtude Duration Description of impact Trung Son main project. All these quarries/borrow pits have to be licensed and strictly managed by local authorities. Impacts assessment 8 Noise and Vibration 9 Erosion/lan dslide Medium Temporary Noise and vibration are mainly generated from the ground leveling, road construction and material transportation. All resettlement sites are quite isolated to existing residential areas. With only a few vehicles operated daily, the impact is evaluated as minor, temporary and mitigated by contractor s measures. However, there are 02 sensitive points located along the transportation route including Tai Chanh Junior School (Site No.2) and Ta Lao Junior School (Site No.4). Suitable mitigation measures are required to be applied. Minor Temporary Construction activities such as ground leveling on hill s slope can create risk of landslide and/or erosion, especially in rainy season; There are some key factors related to landslide/erosion assessment, included: Geological Characteristics: medium and mitigable minor Resettlement No.1 located on edq layer with thickness varied from 0,5 to 3m strongly weathered soil thickness >3m strongly weathered rock. Slope is greater than 25% and groundwater is quite limited and stable geology. Resettlement site No.2&3 located in granite stone and hard granite biotit. The slope is higher than 25% and there is no sign of shallow groundwater presented. Resettlement site No.4 located on the silt layer of high organic matter with thickness varied from 0.3 to 0.5m and followed by layer of clay and limestone which are highly resistant to water penetration. 31

32 No. Impacts Manigtude Duration Description of impact Impacts assessment Climatic Characteristics The rainy season usually begins from May to September. The rainfall is uneven with monthly average rainfall is around 133mm; Regarding to the resettlement site No.4, heavy rain occur from April to September with monthly average rainfall is a little higher than other areas (around 200mm/month); 10 Surface water pollution As natural condition of stable geological foundation and high vegetation coverage as well as medium rainfall associated with the suitable design as GoV standard, impact related to landslide/erosion is minor and mitigable. Medium Temporary Pollution from construction sites Run-off water from construction sites and/or waste water from worker camps possibly create impact to the surrounding water sources (see in table below). The worker s camps at one resettlement points with around 30 people will be located close to construction site with minimum distance to the water sources of 100m. With such a distance, solid waste and waste water still have chance to entering into water bodies and have to be managed sufficiently. Medium and mitigable Location Stream Name (width) Distance to the construction site Xuoc Village (Site No. 1) Nang Village (Site No.2) Unknown creek (<1m) Run through the construction site Nang Stream (6-8m) About 200m 32

33 No. Impacts Manigtude Duration Description of impact Ta Lao Village Tà Lào Stream (6-8m) (Site No.4) Creek at Tà Lào Village(<1m) About 100m About 150m Impacts assessment 11 Solid waste generated Regarding to construction of resettlement site No.4, the suspension bridge and ferry are constructed over the Quanh Stream with the width varied from 15 to 20m). This water of stream is quite abundant and at good quality. The bridge abatement is build on land and there is no construction activities conducted in the stream. The scope of work for ferry construction is also small. The impact on water quality is evaluated as minor. Pollution from material transportation routes Most of the transportation routes such as West Road and Co Luong road located far from all water sources. There is only one internal road of Nang village (resettlement site No.2) crossed Nang stream at the connection point of Nang and Tai Chanh Village with no bridge and dam. Existing stream has a high flow (with width of 6m) and good water quality and mainly used for irrigation purpose. As estimated, about 02 to 05 vehicles are daily operated during construction. Chance for material from transported vehicles dropping into stream is quite limited but still required to be managed properly. Medium Temporary The estimate of excavated soil volume from ground leveling is presented as table below: Location The estimated excavated soil (m3) Resettlement Site No.1 34,876 Resettlement Site No.2 73,000 Resettlement Site No.3 18,438 Medium and mitigable 33

34 No. Impacts Manigtude Duration Description of impact Resettlement Site No.4 68,600 Impacts assessment Total 194,914 Design consultant, PMU and local authority have worked together to define suitable areas which have average transportation distance of less than 1km and sufficient storing capacity. These disposal sites can be used for agricultural cultivation after project completed. Some high slope position are built stone embankment with a height of 1-2m to avoid erosion/landslide in rainy season. Consequently, list below presents the selected sites: For resettlement site No.1: 03 disposal sites located at Co Pung, Pa Pua and Pom Chon resettlement point, along existing West Road. For resettlement site No.2: 01 disposal site located between Nang and Tai Chanh Village For resettlement site No.3: 01 disposal site located between To Chieng and Lin Village and 01 disposal site located at Lat village. For resettlement site No.4: 06 disposal sites are located along the existing road 12 Domestic waste Medium Temporary The subproject is implemented in 12 months. The peak construction time lasts 8-9 months, and the remaining time is reserved for ground leveling. It is expected to have 80 workers involved in the construction of each resettlement site. These workers will establish their camps on site. Workers can be locally selected, so each camp will have about workers. In resettlement sites, auxiliary facilities such as sanitary bathrooms and toilets will be built for workers. 34 Medium and mitigable

35 No. Impacts Manigtude Duration Description of impact Impacts assessment 13 Impact on current infrastructu re system All waste discharged from camps is mainly domestic solid waste which can cause environmental pollution. However, the discharged waste is mainly packing, leftover food, etc. with a small amount (each camp will generate 40kg waste per day). Minor Temporary The transportation of material to construction site and excavated soil to disposal site possibly create impact to the existing technical infrastructure system of local people such as local road, electric poles, water conveyed pipes of households. Minor Water pipes: the construction activities will not affect to existing water sources or conveying system of local residents. Electricity: Most of construction of resettlement areas are isolated to the existing residential areas. However, there are some electric poles located right on the roadside that can be impated during material transportation. Road: New internal road will be constructed for resettlement points and then connected to main roads such as West Thanh Hoa and Tan Xuan Roads (linked Tan Nha to Tan Xuan communes). Currently, these main road is already asphalted with 6m in wide (Tan Xuan road) or being constructed (West Thanh Hoa). The impact on road damage during transportation is minor. 14 Conflict between constructio n worker and local people Minor Temporary The presence of immigrated workers possibly creates several social issues such as social vices (like prostitution, gambling, Drugs etc.) and unhygienic situation around the worker's camp as well as cultural conflict with local residents. Most of ethnic people at the resettlement sites are Thai, Muong, H Mong. They have the own cultural habit and customs, but not closed to surrounding areas. Many construction activities are being implemented in project areas. The immigrated workers are supposed to be easily integrated with local community. For manual work, the contractor can hire 35 Minor

36 No. Impacts Manigtude Duration Description of impact the local labor (about 30-40% of construction labor). This impact is minor and temporary. Impacts assessment 15 Health and safety Operation stage Medium Temporary Labor accidents might happen during construction commencement stage if the safety issues are not well considered. The leading safety hazards on site are falls from height, motor vehicle crashes, excavation accidents, electrocution, machines, and being struck by falling objects. Some of the main health hazards on site are asbestos, solvents, noise, and manual handling activities. Construction work in these areas is not allowed under bad weather condition such as strong wind, mist, or nighttime, etc. Traffic accident can be happened when construction trucks/vehicle run through residential areas and or crowed places like school, market. Medium and mitigable 16 Impact to habits and customs of local people 17 Dust, noise and traffic accident Minor Temporary According to the public consultation, most of residents agreed with the design modes of resettlement sites. Houses in new resettlement sites are designed with the same architectural structure as the existing one. Additionally, with much better construction material, the new houses are expected to withstand climate disasters such as high wind, heavy rain and storm. Along the road, the similar house design contribute to create beautiful landscape of area. Besides, the sub-project will also provide sufficient infrastructures such as electricity, water supply and hygienic toilets and each resettlement point (30-50 households) will have a community house for public activities. It is expected that it will takes short-time for relocated people being familiar with new location. Minor Permanent After project completed, the internal road will only be used by local people (mostly motorbike or walking). All roads are concreted with the width of 2.5 to 3m and warning signs arranged around sensitive points such as kindergarten, school, health care center in order to minimize risk of traffic accidents. 36 Minor Minor

37 No. Impacts Manigtude Duration Description of impact Impacts assessment Trade activities in resettlement area are still limited with only 01 or 02 trucks weekly come to procure agricultural product and/or bamboo. Impact of dust and noise is not considerable. The maximum number of household in one resettlement point is 68. As practice, each household will generate 2 kg solid waste per day. Annually, one resettlement site can generate around 50 ton of domestic solid waste. Different to domestic waste from urban areas, waste in remote area is rich of 18 Solid waste and waste water. Minor Permanent biodegradable matter that can be buried and/or used as natural fertilizer. As current customs of ethnic group, solid waste are normally collected in digged hole in their own garden. In short-term, this solution is acceptable. In future, centralized dumping site for each one resettlement point should be considered for better management of domestic waste. Minor Waste water from household will be collected to small canals and to main drains along the road. Sewage from toilet will be directly penetrated into soil. With very low density of population, this method is environmentally acceptable and widely applied to almost all remote/mountainous areas. 19 Health and Environme ntal Sanitation Positive Permanent The positive change of environmental and living conditions of local people is presented in table below: Infrastructure Before the project After the project Water supply - Simple pipe for collecting water directly from stream/creek to households - The water storage is not hygienic. - Each household has its own water tank. - The centralized water storage with filtering system for treatment. Positive Electricity - Small scale hydrogenerator for each - Power is provided by national electricity grid. 37

Toilet - Temporary, unsanitary. - Standard toilet 20 Conflict in water use Traffic road - Mainly pathway - All concreted roads with traffic signs. None None Irrigation water is required for new terraced paddy fields. Suitable water sources have been defined through site survey and public consultation. Water from existing streams is collected and conveyed to the field by pipe system. With very high vegetation cover on large catchment area, water is quite abundant and sufficient for both irrigation and domestic uses purposes. As a result, there is no conflict in water use.
