PART A: OVERVIEW OF ENVIRONMENTAL SAFEGUARDS EA GUIDELINE I. OBJECTIVES

The Danang PIIP is carried out in phases 1 and 2; Currently on the EIA report for Phase 1 has been prepared. Phase 2 will be prepared once the project works have been confirmed and the detailed study and design is underway. It is therefore necessary to prepare a policy framework for environmental safeguards that may be used in the Phase 2 of the project.

For Phase 1, an EIA has been prepared by the Social and Environmental Development Joint Stock Company (SECO) as the Consultant for environmental assessment and social impact for the project. The EAs for Phase 2 should follow this environmental assessment (EA) guideline.

Phase 2 of Danang PIIP consist of the three following components:

• Component A: Upgrading of 10 low income areas;

• Component B: Measures of environmental improvement, such as: primary and secondary drainage and wastewater sewerage systems, upgrading of wastewater pumping stations and other facilities of the network, construction of a new WWTP for secondary treatment in Hoa Xuan (South of city) and upgrading the wastewater treatment systems in the North of city;

• Component C: Roads and bridges.

The purpose of the EA Guideline is three-fold:

• To specify an appropriate regulatory, policy institutional arrangement to manage the environmental assessment process;

• Provide a mean of screening works based on the level of impact analysis and type of EA instrument to be applied;

• Provide guidance in the preparation of EIAs and application of EMPs to the various works.

Specifically, the EA Guideline includes the following:

• A description of the components under Phase 2.

• A process for screening, preparation and approval for the EA process for phase 2 works;

• Information on WB’s safeguard policies and GoV’s environmental legislations, standards and policies that are related to the components of the Danang PIIP;

• Guidelines for: a. Environmental codes of practice for mitigation measures for the construction-

related impacts;


7

b. Community Environmental Management Plan for urban upgrading.

c. Design standards and draft EA TORs development for specific works. d. Cultural property.

e. Public Consultation and Disclosure.

• Institutional arrangements for Environmental Management Plan and Monitoring;

PART B: ENVIRONMENTAL SAFEGUARDS FRAMEWORK I. ENVIRONMENTAL SCREENING The environmental Consultant for Da Nang PIIP Phase 2 is responsible to carry out Phase 2 environmental screening under the supervision of the PMU.

The Consultant is responsible for the collection and review of available information on the works, their environmental setting and potential impacts. This includes information from the Phase 1 EA, the secondary treatment study, proposed designs and other information the consultant can readily gather from site visits, government studies and other sources. After review the consultant will present the project and an indicative TOR to a public consultation meeting to document and incorporate their feedback.

After this the consultant will finalize the environmental screening. The purpose of the environmental screening is first to identify the level of analysis needed and related EA instrument to employ and second to flag important issues that would provide inputs to the TOR for a detailed EIA.

1. Level of analysis required: As a guide, the following EA instruments should be applied to the following works:

Construction work EA work required Tertiary infrastructure CEMP Standard construction works ECOP Dredging and sludge disposal EIA Secondary WWTP EIA Roads and Bridges EIA

Additionally, as part of the process the consultant should assess if there any unusual impacts of construction or tertiary infrastructure that would warrant analysis beyond what is contained in a CEMP or ECOP. 2. Flagging key issues: The screening process will also provide input into the EA TOR to ensure key issues are identified upfront. Some examples that might be of concern are:

� Whether the locations of the works are suitable:

9 The Hoa Xuan WWTP and its discharge point at the Vinh Dien River, as there are some aquiculture activities at the lower section of the river (shrimp hatching), the treated water should have suitable quality in compliance with the existing standards and regulations of GoV;

9 Locations of the primary and secondary water supply and drainage mains as they might cross the places with cultural properties or might be located within a flooding area;

9 Location and technology process for upgrading WWTPs in the North of city as it relates to the hydraulic mixing and dilution capacity of the Da Nang Bay as the receiving body at and around the discharge point.

� Air quality, noise and other impacts caused by the traffic as a result of the South Road construction as well as the material transport.

� Types of impacts that may occur during the construction and O&M of the Phase 2 items.


10

� Potential risks related to other projects funded by other donors. Therefore, a due diligence report to assess the risks should also be prepared as part of the EIA.

II. EA PREPARATION Based on the recommendations for screening and the technical guidelines (see Part b: Environmental Guidelines), the consultant will finalize the TOR, which will be reviewed and for a No objection by the PMU and the World Bank. The consultant will then begin preparation of the EA. Upon completion the consultant will submit it to the PMU for review and comment. After revisions it will then be submitted World Bank and DoNRE for review and approval.


11

PART C: ENVIRONMENTAL GUIDELINES

The EA Guideline is to be used as a basis for preparing EAs and EMPs for the proposed works. It includes the following information: I. World Bank and Government of Vietnam Policies. II. Technical Guidelines for design, EA and EMP preparation. III. Guidelines for related WB policies (cultural property and public consultation and disclosure). IV. Institutional arrangements for environmental management and monitoring. I. World Bank and Government of Vietnam Policies

I.1. WB Environmental Safeguard Policies

The World Bank requires the Bank supported activities and investment projects to meet various policies, including environmental safeguards, which are given in the Operational Policies (OPs).

The Bank strictly applies a set of 10 safeguard OPs to ensure that potentially adverse environmental, social and legal consequences are recognized, minimized and mitigated at an early stage in project development. These policies receive particular attention during all project and/or loan preparation and approval processes. Taking into account the types of the Danang PIIP Phase 2 sub-projects, among the 10 safeguard policies mentioned above, the following in the Table below should be complied with in Phase 2; the key safeguard policy relating to environment is OP 4.01 on environmental assessment.

In addition to OP 4.01, the World Bank provides guidance on its environmental assessment requirements within its Environmental Assessment Sourcebook (Washington D.C., World Bank, 1991) and subsequent updates, and Pollution Prevention and Abatement Handbook, (Washington D.C., World Bank, 1998).

I.2. GoV Environmental Legislation, Standards and Policies

There are in Vietnam a number of legislative documents on the environmental safeguard activities for investment projects.

The Constitution of Vietnam states that state-owned enterprises, governmental agencies, cooperatives and national defense units must take full responsibility for implementation of policy which ensures reasonable use of the country’s natural resources and environmental preservation.

The legal framework for environmental management in Vietnam is based on the Environmental Protection Law.

The framework for environmental assessment is laid out in Decree 80/2006/N -CP providing guidance for the implementation of the law.

The broad requirements provided in the Environmental Protection Law and Decree 80/2006/N -CP are developed and defined further through circulars, decrees, ordinances and decisions issued by the Prime Minister and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MoNRE). Other Ministries also have their regulations on the environmental issues.

In the table below is presented the summary of general environment related legislation. It should be noted that besides these national laws, decrees and standards also exist some local regulations.

II.3 Specific Guidelines for Urban Upgrading (Upgrading of LIAs’ Tertiary Infrastructure) As mentioned in the screening part (Part IV, A), for Tertiary infrastructure all that is needed is a CEMP to be integrated in CUP.

Preparation of CEMP and Integration to CUP

For Urban Upgrading (Upgrading of LIAs), in terms of EIA and EMP, for each sub-component is required a CEMP integrated into the CUP (to be implemented by the PIIP Phase 2 CIP Consultant), whose process and format are provided in Annex 1.

CEMP is part of the EIA applied to urban upgrading activities, whose implementation is under the community’s supervision following the instructions of the Environmental Consultant.

The main principle is community-based and active community’s participation, as they will benefit from the project, in all stages of the project preparation and implementation process. NGOs and mass organizations should also be encouraged to involve in the participatory process.

The CUP shall be prepared with assistance of the consultant and must, in addition to technical side, also describe the participation process, the community organization and community management structures. In addition to the communities, required is also close work with ward authorities, NGOs and the city infrastructure departments and utility companies.

The CEMP shall include the guidance for design and mitigation measures for the impacts of the project for the design consultant and the contractor to follow and should be integrated into CUP. It should also include measures to strengthen the role and the capacity of community to implement CUP and CEMP.

Possible impacts of the project shall be discussed in group meetings during the preparation of CUP and community’s representatives are encouraged to give their opinions about environmental impacts. Mitigation measures shall be presented in the CEMP prepared for each area and developed in cooperation with local residents and the compiled to the CIP (FS) report. Design requirements should be clearly determined and discussed with the design consultant. The contractor is responsible to follow and implement agreed mitigation measures. During the preparation of the CPU and CEMP, the following should be taken into account:

- Urban upgrading is the improvement of communities in-situ, therefore requires minimum relocation or resettlement in order not to break the social structure of the communities;

- Improvements will include the upgrading of physical infrastructure and utility services including water supply, drainage, sanitation, solid waste management, widening/paving alleys, electricity, street lighting and possibly social infrastructures including kindergarten, schools, health care centers, markets etc.


21

- Packaging of upgrading works including, for example, water supply, drainage, paved access roads/lanes and solid waste management i.e. multi-disciplinary approach should be adopted to make it more efficiently, also environmentally.

- All the designs related to urban upgrading including water and power supply, drainage, environmental sanitation, and social infrastructure like market, kindergarten, health care centers etc. have to follow the principle of minimum private land acquisition, minimum disturbance made to the traffic and daily life of the residents. They have also to follow the infrastructure criteria that have been agreed previously with the district authorities, standards and norms used in design in the city, Vietnamese design standards and safety regulations.

For specific guidelines on work and tasks of the Consultant for CEMP, please refer to Annex 4.


22

II. 4. Specific Guidelines for Trunk Infrastructure Specific Guidelines for Design

The works include construction of primary and secondary water supply and drainage mains to support upgrading component.

When designing the trunk water supply and drainage for Da Nang PIIP Phase 2 to support upgrading component, the following should be taken into account:

- The LIAs are located in districts of Hai Chau, Thanh Khe, Lien Chieu, Cam Le and Son Tra, of which Hai Chau, Thanh Khe and Son Tra are the districts with high construction density, narrow sidewalks (most of them have a width of less than 4m) with a number of underground and above-ground works; there exist areas where still occur inundation and flooding in Hai Chau and Thanh Khe, while Son Tra still has not a drainage master plan and a number of the areas there still suffer from inundation when a heavy rain happens, whereas the drainage system in Lien Chieu is unsynchronous;

- The variety of the topography and elevation in Da Nang, especially the trunk drainage systems. For example, the area of the east city (Son Tra and Ngu Hanh Son districts) has a hog’s back terrain sloping towards two directions with very high elevation variations; the north-west area (Lien Chieu district) is narrow with the East Sea in the north and a mountain range in the south where temporary inundation and soil erosion could potentially happen; whereas, the south city has a low and relatively flat terrain. Therefore, it is necessary to address the following:

- Exactly locate the existing facilities and thoroughly study the areas of potential conflicts;

- The route and elevation of the trunk infrastructure should be compatible with the tertiary infrastructure as well as the water supply and drainage systems that connect with the secondary and tertiary systems;

- Attention should be paid to prevent possible contamination of water supply, especially in case water pipes cross sewers. Drainage and sewerage should be designed so that water supply pipes do not go through the drainage manholes or culverts. They should also be designed as far as possible from water pipelines;

- In addition, locations of discharging points of the drainage and sewerage systems have to be selected so as to minimize the adverse impact and prevent the back flow of drainage water and sewage.

- Drainage design principles have to be selected in compliance with the Drainage Standard 20TCN 51-84 in co-operation with the other projects implemented in the same area to avoid overlapping and to optimize the effectiveness of drainage system.

Specific guidelines for EA/EMP preparation

For specific guidelines on scope of work and tasks of the Consultant for EIA, please refer to Annex 3 and 6.


23

II. 5. Specific Guidelines for WWTPs and Collection Network Specific Guidelines for Design

The works include construction of secondary WWTP in Hoa Xuan for treatment of effluent from Hoa Cuong and Ngu Hanh Son primary WWTPs; transmission pipelines for the effluent; upgrading of wastewater treatment systems including pumping stations and other facilities of the network; construction or upgrading treatment facilities for the Phu Loc and Son Tra WWTPs)

The following should be taken into account:

- Compliance with the design standards and safety regulations of GoV;

- Compliance of design parameters with calculations of population growth, per capita wastewater production, degree of connection to the sewers and thus overall wastewater flows for the medium and long term.

- The location of the WWTP should be well considered to avoid unnecessary impacts and to meet the requirements on buffer zone. The required buffer zone needed for the WWTP in accordance with the regulation and standards in order not to impact on the residential areas in the vicinity;

- The selection of location of the discharge point of treated effluent and its possible impacts to the economic or living activities in the surrounding and downstream sections of the Vinh Dien River, where are shrimp hatching activities;

- The quality of the treated effluent that shall meet the criteria of B-class water, not breach the standards of General environmental requirements for central domestic (municipal) wastewater treatment plants TCVN 7222-2002 and Standards for discharge of urban wastewater TCXD 188-1996; and other relevant standards for receiving waters depending on their usage purposes.

- Impacts on marine water in the Da Nang Bay which is a protected area need careful assessment in consultation with Da Nang DONRE

- The facilities should technically be integrated and synchronous with the existing ones so as to improve the quality of treated effluent, not causing odorous impacts as well as noise or vibration caused to the residential areas located nearby that could harm the inhabitants’ health;

- The standards and guidelines of MONRE and MOH have to be followed. The design and EIA of upgrading Phu Loc and Son Tra WWTPs should follow the result of the study on wastewater treatment options (see draft TORs in Annex 7), together with the new WWTP in Hoa Xuan, which is an option of secondary treatment. The option study will make an alternative analysis of environmental, technical and financial considerations for wastewater treatment processes and propose selection. An EA will be carried out for the selected options to make sure that environmental impacts will be mitigated and managed by an adequate EMP.

II. 6 Specific Guidelines for Roads and Bridges.

Specific Guidelines for Design

The works include Construction of Nguyen Tri Phuong-Hoa Quy Road together with 3 bridges namely Nguyen Tri Phuong, Tung Lam and Khue Trung; and South Primary Link Road with one bridge.

The Nguyen Tri Phuong-Hoa Quy Road starts at Nguyen Tri Phuong Road at the crossroads with Cach Mang Thang Tam Road, ending at Km6+344 of Tran Dai Nghia Road. The road’s total length is 6,850m and the cross section is 25m. On the route, there will be constructed 3 bridges namely Nguyen Tri Phuong, Tung Lam and Khue Trung with a total length of 1.2km and a width of 19m.

The South Primary Link Road (the section between the 1A National Highway and Tran Dai Nghia Road) is of a length of 5,100m and runs in east-west direction, with the starting point in Hoa Phuoc commune (Hoa Vang sub-urban District) and crosses Hoa Hai and Hoa Quy wards (Ngu Hanh Son District) was proposed to be a Class II main road with a width of 24m of the roadway for a maximum speed of 80km/h.

The following should be taken into account during design:

- The route intersects Mai Dang Chon and Luu Quang Vu roads, ending at Km7+100 of Tran Dai Nghia road. It runs across an agricultural field area belonging to Hoa Phuoc commune and a cemetery of Hoa Quy Ward. There is uneven population density in the area (less concentrated population at the beginning of the route and more concentrated in the area of the two wards of Hoa Hai and Hoa Quy). Therefore, the land acquisition should be rationally calculated and considered to facilitate the leveling while simultaneously reducing the compensation cost and mitigating possible impacts to cultural historical and properties in the area. The choice of the construction route and location should comply with the requirements of the city’s master plan as well as the project’s objectives to make the area become an architecturally modern urban area according to the orientation for the city’s spatial development;

- Material to be excavated and disposed of away from road site and the location for material disposal, volume of fill required for roadbed and location of borrow pit, volume of crushed rock required for pavement and location of quarry, volume of bitumen required for pavement, type of bitumen to be used (emulsion or non emulsion);

- Whether the services such as electric cables, water pipelines, telephone cables, drainage and sewerages or other services require relocation;

- During the road and bridge construction, due to the transportation of materials needed for the construction, traffic will increase and bring about increases of dust and fume, noise and traffic jams, vibration, and oil and if there are no tight measures of management, accidents may also occur. Excavating and leveling, material and waste handling, mobilization of material, machines, equipment and workers during this period could also cause many adverse impacts such as traffic jam and low hygiene conditions in some areas;

- During operation, probably traffic will increase and therefore will bring about traffic jams as well as increases of dust and fume, noise;


25

- The design of the South Primary Road as a Class II main road with a roadway’s width of 24m and new Hoa Phuoc bridge of 19m width and 329m length to cross the Cai River including their drainage and lighting systems has to be done according to the Vietnamese design standards and safety regulations (22 TCN 263-2000, 20 TCN 104-83, 22 TCN 272-05, 22TCN 237-01 etc.). Their location and the alignment as well as the anticipated traffic volume have to be considered to avoid unnecessary resettlement and impacts;

- As the route would run across areas of possible inundation and flooding, attention should be paid to the design of the road foundation embankment consolidation for these sections to avoid possible subsidence and landslide;

- The design of the width of the bridge and road should take account of appropriate construction investment phasing to have rationally phased investments but land acquisition relevant for all the phases should be done to avoid unnecessary compensation and impacts in the future;

- The architectural design of the bridge should be suitable with the landscape in the area.


For specific guidelines on scope of work and tasks of the Consultant for EIA for Roads and Bridges, please refer to Annex 5.

III. Guidelines for related World Bank policies Environmental assessment encompasses other policies of the World Bank. In the context of the Danang PIIP works, both cultural property and public consultation and disclosure should be considered in developing an EA and EMP. III.1 Guidelines for Cultural Property

Cultural property safeguard is part of the EIA report for the Da Nang PIIP Phases 2. The Environmental Consultant, during the implementation of the EA for Phase 2 of the Da nang PIIP should:

- Exactly identify the areas with cultural properties that are within the boundary of the Da Nang PIIP Phase 2 sub-components;

- Well document the areas with cultural and archaeological sites such as pagodas, cemeteries, archaeological sites, heroes cemeteries etc. during the environmental assessment;

- Propose appropriate measures to protect the properties during the project implementation as well as to comply with the legislative regulations on the cultural property safeguard as stated in OP 4.11- Cultural Property – of the WB;

- Contact the local cultural and archaeological agency to check for any significant historical features of the areas on or near the site.

During the construction, the Construction Management Consultant (CMC) is the person responsible for arranging the technical supervision of the contract. In the case of discovering of cultural or historic objects during the construction, the following should be made:

• After stopping work, the contractor must immediately report the discovery to the CMC.

• The contractor is not be entitled to claim compensation for work suspension during this period.

• The CMC is entitled to suspend work and to request from the contractor some excavations at the contractor’s expense if he thinks that a discovery was made and not reported.

Demarcation of the Discovery Site

With the approval of the CMC, the Contractor is then required to temporarily demarcate, and limit access to, the site.

The Contractor should then, at the request of the CMC, and within a period of two working days, make a Chance Find Report, recording:

� Date and time of discovery; � Location of the discovery; � Description of the PCR;


27

� Estimated weight and dimensions of the PCR; � Temporary protection implemented.

The Chance Find Report should be submitted to the Supervision Engineer, who will then submit it to DCI

DCI will send a representative that will arrive at the discovery site and determine the action to be taken. Such actions may include, but not be limited to:

� Removal of PCR deemed to be of significance; � Execution of further excavation within a specified distance of the discovery

point; � Extension or reduction of the area demarcated by the contractor.

The contractor will not be entitled to claim compensation for work suspension during this period.


28

III.2 Guidelines for Public Consultation and Disclosure.

Public Consultation

For all Category A projects proposed for IDA financing, during the EA process, the borrower consults project-affected groups and local nongovernmental organisations (NGOs) about the project’s environmental aspects and takes their views into account. For Category A projects, the borrower consults these groups at least twice: shortly after environmental screening and before the terms of reference for the EA is finalised; and once the draft EA report is prepared.

There are a number of the community consultation forms including announcement on the notice-board, distribution of leaflets, community meetings etc.

For Da Nang PIIP Phase 2, like in Phase 1, community consultation meetings are proposed to applied, with making meeting minutes signed by all the participants. The meetings would be carried out twice: the first time directly after the environmental screening (proposed to be incorporated into group discussions with different groups: poor, better off, rich and based on gender during the socio-economic survey) and the second time after the draft EA report for Phase 2 is prepared with prior identified Project Affected Households (PAHs).

Disclosure

For meaningful consultations between the borrower and project-affected groups and local NGOs on all Category A projects for IDA financing, the borrower provides relevant material in a timely manner prior to consultation and in a form and language that are understandable and accessible to the groups being consulted. For a Category A project, the borrower provides for the initial consultation a summary of the proposed project’s objectives, description, and potential impacts; for consultation after the draft EA report is prepared, the borrower provides a summary of the EA’s conclusions. In addition, for a Category A project, the borrower makes draft EA report available at a public place accessible to project-affected groups and local NGOs. For Da Nang PIIP Phase 2, as it is a continuity of Phase 1, disclosure will follow the simplified procedure I of the WB for Additional Financing and Use of Project Cost Savings. Accordingly, after receiving comments from the designated senior safeguard specialist/Sector Manager (SM) on the Draft EA Report submitted previously and having made revisions to the Final EA Report based on the comments, the Final EA Draft will be disclosed by the PIIP-PMU locally (in Vietnamese) and release the document for disclosure in InfoShop and PIC after the EC revised it incorporating the PIIP-PMU comments. The local disclosure should be held at the PIIP-PMU office and in the Wards at the PIIP Phase 2 sub-component areas.

ANNEX 2: World Bank safeguard policies OP 4.01 (Annex C - Environmental Management Plan)

1. A project’s environmental management plan (EMP) consists of the set of mitigation, monitoring, and institutional measures to be taken during implementation and operation to eliminate adverse environmental and social impacts, offset them, or reduce them to acceptable levels. The plan also includes the actions needed to implement these measures. Management plans are essential elements of EA reports for Category A projects; for many Category B projects, the EA may result in a management plan only. To prepare a management plan, the borrower and its EA design team (a) identify the set of responses to potentially adverse impacts; (b) determine requirements for ensuring that those responses are made effectively and in a timely manner; and (c) describe the means for meeting those requirements. More specifically, the EMP includes the following components. Mitigation

2. The EMP identifies feasible and cost-effective measures that may reduce potentially significant adverse environmental impacts to acceptable levels. The plan includes compensatory measures if mitigation measures are not feasible, cost-effective, or sufficient. Specifically, the EMP

(a) identifies and summarizes all anticipated significant adverse environmental impacts (including those involving Indigenous Peoples or involuntary resettlement);

(b) describes—with technical details—each mitigation measure, including the type of impact to which it relates and the conditions under which it is required (e.g., continuously or in the event of contingencies), together with designs, equipment descriptions, and operating procedures, as appropriate;

(c) estimates any potential environmental impacts of these measures; and

(d) provides linkage with any other mitigation plans (e.g., for involuntary resettlement, Indigenous Peoples, or cultural property) required for the project.

Monitoring

3. Environmental monitoring during project implementation provides information about key environmental aspects of the project, particularly the environmental impacts of the project and the effectiveness of mitigation measures. Such information enables the borrower and the Bank to evaluate the success of mitigation as part of project supervision, and allows corrective action to be taken when needed. Therefore, the EMP identifies monitoring objectives and specifies the type of monitoring, with linkages to the impacts assessed in the EA report and the mitigation measures described in the EMP. Specifically, the monitoring section of the EMP provides

(a) a specific description, and technical details, of monitoring measures, including the parameters to be measured, methods to be used, sampling locations, frequency of measurements, detection


40

limits (where appropriate), and definition of thresholds that will signal the need for corrective actions; and (b) monitoring and reporting procedures to (i) ensure early detection of conditions that necessitate particular mitigation measures, and (ii) furnish information on the progress and results of mitigation. Capacity Development and Training

4. To support timely and effective implementation of environmental project components and mitigation measures, the EMP draws on the EA’s assessment of the existence, role, and capability of environmental units on site or at the agency and ministry level If necessary, the EMP recommends the establishment or expansion of such units, and the training of staff, to allow implementation of EA recommendations. Specifically, the EMP provides a specific description of institutional arrangements—who is responsible for carrying out the mitigatory and monitoring measures (e.g., for operation, supervision, enforcement, monitoring of implementation, remedial action, financing, reporting, and staff training). To strengthen environmental management capability in the agencies responsible for implementation, most EMPs cover one or more of the following additional topics: (a) technical assistance programs, (b) procurement of equipment and supplies, and (c) organizational changes.

Implementation Schedule and Cost Estimates

5. For all three aspects (mitigation, monitoring, and capacity development), the EMP provides (a) an implementation schedule for measures that must be carried out as part of the project, showing phasing and coordination with overall project implementation plans; and (b) the capital and recurrent cost estimates and sources of funds for implementing the EMP. These figures are also integrated into the total project cost tables.

Integration of EMP with Project

6. The borrower’s decision to proceed with a project, and the Bank’s decision to support it, are predicated in part on the expectation that the EMP will be executed effectively. Consequently, the Bank expects the plan to be specific in its description of the individual mitigation and monitoring measures and its assignment of institutional responsibilities, and it must be integrated into the project’s overall planning, design, budget, and implementation. Such integration is achieved by establishing the EMP within the project so that the plan will receive funding and supervision along with the other components.

ANNEX 7: Draft TORs for Study on Wastewater Treatment Options

1. Introduction

The Danang Region (3.3 million people) is one of the largest population centers in the country outside of Hanoi (3.0 million) and HCMC (5.6 million). The city of Danang itself is rapidly urbanizing with a growth rate of about 3-4 percent and anticipated population of 1.2-1.4 million people in 2020.

The work described in this draft ToR will be funded by the Project Preparation Facility (PPF) in support of the World Bank Financed Danang Priority Infrastructure Investment Project (DN PIIP). The project is an integrated package for environmental improvement, infrastructure development and capacity building for the city of Danang.

As part of this project the City of Danang is interested in exploring alternatives for collection, treatment and discharge of wastewater to help ensure compliance with discharge standards and to protect environmental, social and economic resources of the area.

While general agreement on the strategy for management of wastewater treatment and disposal in the southern part of Danang city has been reached, no firm decisions have been taken on (i) strategy for the northwest area of the city and (ii) the choice of secondary treatment processes at the existing and proposed new WWTP’s. There continues to be a lack of firm data on wastewater quality and quantity upon which to base sound management and design decisions.

The Client and the World Bank are concerned that informed conceptual decisions on the choice of options for wastewater management in certain areas of the city and options for the methods of wastewater treatment to be adopted at all WWTP’s need to be taken by the city before detail designs of the new wastewater collection and treatment facilities can proceed. A study of the options available for wastewater treatment will therefore be funded by the Project Preparation Facility (PPF) arranged in November 2007.

The PIIP-PMU is therefore seeking to appoint an international consulting company to carry out field investigations and a study to examine wastewater flows, management and treatment options for Danang City and prepare recommendations for adoption by the city authorities.

II OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

1. The objectives of the study are :

• to support and assist the Client and People’s Committee of Da Nang to take necessary decisions on the choice of a strategy for wastewater management and disposal in northwest Da Nang as well as the choice of treatment methods at all its WWTP’s

• to provide firm recommendations on the optimum wastewater treatment methods for existing and proposed WWTP’s, based on reliable field data, to enable others to carry out the detailed design of wastewater treatment facilities in Da Nang.

III THE CLIENT


56

1. The Client is the Project Management Unit of the Priority Infrastructure Investment Project (PIIP-PMU), which will be represented by the PMU Director, Mr. Nguyen Tan Lien, or his appointed representative. However the Consultant will also be expected to liaise with respond to the wishes of other organizations and stakeholders in Da Nang city, which are listed in Annex 2 to the TOR.

IV PRINCIPLES AND GUIDELINES FOR THE STUDY

1. In arriving at recommendations for wastewater management in Danang, the study must take into account :

2. Previous reports and studies carried out in Da Nang with a bearing on the management of wastewater treatment and disposal. Relevant reports and documents are listed in Annex 1 to the TORs. In particular, the Consultant’s attention is drawn to the Pre-Feasibility Study for the PIIP (VIWASE Consultants, December 2007) and the Medium and Long Term Concept Plan for Wastewater Treatment in Da Nang (DHV Consultants, 1st Draft, April 2006).

3. The development Master Plans for Da Nang city, both spatial and economic. Up to now, development plans have tended to be prescriptive and somewhat inflexible; they are not designed to react to changing demands on the ground. The plans, and the likely degree to which they will be achieved or implemented in their official form, should be critically assessed in terms of their impact on wastewater management.

4. Da Nang has undergone rapid population growth in the last 20 years as people migrate inwards from rural areas and this pattern is likely to continue. However, estimates of population growth given in the Master Plans, and used in the PFS and CIPR, should be re-examined critically to ensure that the predictions of continued population growth are realistic, particularly in areas of the city which are already densely settled.

5. The relative lack of information on the characteristics of the city’s wastewater. It must be emphasized that making any projections at all in Danang is extremely difficult because, up to now, there are no measured data. All previous designs and studies were based on assumed per-capita flows and wastewater characteristics taken from Vietnamese standards, standard engineering texts, or the limited information available from other Vietnamese cities. The reality may be rather different. Before any options for wastewater management and treatment are developed, present wastewater flows and their qualities must be measured. This applies not only to wastewater arriving at the existing WWTP’s, and in the interceptor sewers, but also to the effluent from householders’ septic tanks. Variations in flow and characteristics of the wastewater between wet and dry seasons should also be investigated. A comprehensive program of sampling and analysis must be carried out with long enough duration to enable representative and reliable average characteristics to be computed.

6. Lack of information on the degree of connection of households to the wastewater collection system. Figures quoted in the PFS and Wastewater Concept Study for the percentage of households connected to the sewers, both present and future, represent the aspirations of the city authorities, rather than the results of analytical study. Concrete evidence must be obtained from a field investigation to back up any assessment of present degree of connection and predictions of future trends.


57

7. Lack of information on the purification capacity of the existing treatment plants. The four new WWTP’s are planned to be commissioned in May 2008. Predictions of the performance of the plants have up to now been from made from results taken from similar plants in other countries. An investigation program must be carried out to measure influent/effluent characteristics and thus assess plant performance.

8. Future effluent discharge standards required by Government. The present Vietnamese Standard for discharge of sewage effluents, Vietnamese Standard TCVN 7222:2002, calls for a minimum removal rate for BOD and TSS in a WWTP of 85%. In addition the treated effluent should meet Class II or better quality. Table 1 presents the accompanying effluent standards. According to the standard, WWTP owners should be encouraged to pursuit Class III effluent quality.

Table 1 Effluent requirements according to Vietnam Standard TCVN 7222:2002

9. It is understood that DONRE may issue a new standard in the future, which will replace TCVN 7222 and relate the required effluent standard to the condition of the receiving water, since the present standard imposes too great a load in terms of investment and operational cost on Vietnam’s cities. However, in the long term, effluent standards are likely to become more, rather than less, stringent.

10. Combined treatment of wastewater from industries and industrial zones with domestic wastewater. Current practice in Vietnam is for individual industries and industrial zones to provide their own wastewater treatment facilities; frequently, industrial wastewater plants are inadequately operated maintained. Where it is held to be advantageous and cost-efficient, consideration should be given to combining the treatment of industrial and domestic wastewater. In the case of northwest Da Nang, combining domestic wastewater treatment with treatment of wastes from the Hoa Khanh Industrial Zone should be considered, especially as the site for any new treatment plant for domestic wastes will probably have to be sought in or near the Hoa Khanh industrial zone.

11. The long term institutional and operational needs of wastewater management have not been well defined for the city as a whole. Technical support to the Da Nang Transport Management and Drainage Company (DN-TMDC) to assist the company to set up and run an organisation to operate the new WWTP’s will be provided under the PIIP (Component D). The wastewater treatment options considered during the study must take into account the relative lack of operational and maintenance skills available in Da Nang.


58

12. Environmental, Social and Economic Resources. There is limited understanding of the impacts of wastewater and wastewater management on environmental, social and economic resources in Da Nang. The relationship between effluent discharges and the protection of fisheries, coral reefs, beaches and other water resources in the area is not understood. The study should cover all areas potentially impacted by wastewater produced from the above geographic area and should include an overview of fisheries, aquaculture, tourism, navigation, ecologically sensitive areas (e.g., wetlands and corals), water supply, health impacts from water contact (with drainage areas for example) and water use (e.g, by humans and industries). The water quality impact on these resources should be based on Vietnamese water quality standards but take into consideration scientific knowledge of the impacts of different parameters on these resources (i.e., effect of sediments on corals, nutrients on fisheries etc).

On the basis of the field data obtained from Tasks 3 and 4 and the information gained from the review of Master Plans and reports in Tasks 5 and 6, make new or revise existing calculations of population growth, per capita wastewater production, degree of connection to the sewers and thus overall wastewater flows for the medium and long term. Calculations should be made to confirm quantities of flow and pollution loadings arriving at all existing and proposed WWTP’s.

14. Review the study of wastewater catchment boundaries carried out during the PFS and make recommendations for correction / alteration of the boundaries if this is considered necessary.

15. On the basis of the field data on influent and effluent quality, review the performance of the existing four WWTP’s. Make calculations to predict the likely performance of the plants under the conditions of the long-term design horizon. Make a recommendation as to the adequacy of the Phu Loc WWTP without upgrading.

Task 8 – Development of Wastewater Management Options for Northwest Da Nang

16. From Task 7, the consultant shall proceed to develop options for the long term management of wastewater treatment and disposal in the north west area of Da Nang city. The area concerned comprises the present catchment of Phu Loc WWTP (Thanh Khe District, parts of Hai Chau and Lien Chieu Districts) and the developing urban areas of western Lien Chieu district, including the Hoa Khanh Industrial Zone.

17. Investigate and develop suitable options for the siting of WWTP’s having regard to degree of treatment required, land requirements for a treatment plant, including buffers zones, location, condition of receiving water and requirements for collection, pumping and delivery of wastewater to the plant. Different options for the phasing of investment should also be considered.

18. In consultation with the Client, choose the options to be investigated. However, the options to be considered may include :

• Conveying all flows within the (extended) catchment to Phu Loc, without extension or upgrading of the plant

• As above, but providing a secondary stage of treatment at Phu Loc


62

• Constructing a new WWTP at Hoa Khanh IZ, treating domestic flows from the extended catchment together with industrial flows for Hoa Khanh IZ, using the existing Phu Loc as a pre-treatment/flow balancing stage

• Constructing a new WWTP elsewhere in Lien Chieu District, treating domestic flows from the extended catchment only, using the existing Phu Loc as a pre-treatment/flow balancing stage

19. Make preliminary cost estimates of capital investment costs and operation and maintenance costs for the options chosen. (If necessary, discussions should be held with DN-TMDC and other relevant authorities to determine operations costs). Carry out financial and economic analyses on the chosen options to determine the least cost option.

20. Compare all options in technical, environmental, financial and economic terms. After consultation with the Client, present a recommendation of the most advantageous wastewater management option to be adopted by the city.

The assessment of different options should use accepted methodologies.

• The environmental analysis should include an identification and detailed mapping of the resources at risk to wastewater flows. A simple water quality analysis should be undertaken assessing the flows of wastewater, location and potential impact on the identified resources. Mixing calculations and river flow analysis including mass and flow balances based on available data are expected. A hydrodynamic-water quality model acceptable to the Bank that can assess potential impacts of different alternatives on the sensitive environmental, social and economic resources. The outcomes of the model should be linked to not only Vietnamese environmental discharge and water quality standards but to specific environmental criteria related to protection objectives.

• The financial analysis should assess the investment and operation and maintenance costs to develop incremental unit costs for pollution reductions and water quality improvements using parameters relevant to the various sensitive environmental, social and economic resources.

• The technical analysis should be done in enough detail to accurately assess the impact of various engineering options for treatment and disposal. For wastewater collection and treatment this should incorporate analysis of wastewater capacity and treatment efficiencies for different water quality parameters in relation to the estimated wastewater inflows. For disposal options his should cover various locations, diffuser designs, locations and depth.

• Other criteria such as resettlement and nuisances should be incorporated as appropriate.

Task 9 – Development of Options for Wastewater Treatment Processes

21. On the basis of the field data obtained from Tasks 3 and 4 and the calculations of flow and pollution loadings arriving at all existing and proposed WWTP’s made under Task 8, together with the agreed effluent standards to be adopted when designing each of the


63

WWTP’s, evaluate the different options for treatment processes to achieve the agreed standards, considering the financial, technical and environmental tradeoffs. Different options for the phasing of investment should also be considered.

22. The scope of the investigation should cover, but not necessarily be limited to :

• The in-situ upgrading of facilities at Phu Loc and Son Tra WWTP’s, by provision, if necessary, of a secondary biological treatment stage within the existing WWTP site.

• The possible upgrading of facilities at Hoa Cuong and Ngu Hanh Son WWTP’s to improve effluent quality prior to pumping to Hoa Xuan

• Primary and secondary treatment processes to be adopted at the new Hoa Xuan WWTP, and, if the management option proves advantageous, at a new WWTP in Lien Chieu/Hoa Khanh.

23. The study should cover not only treatment of wastewater but also the treatment, handling and disposal of sludge and other by-products (e.g. screenings) arising from the treatment processes.

24. Identify the main issues to be addressed in the design and construction of the favoured option.

25. Make preliminary cost estimates of capital investment costs and operation and maintenance costs for the options chosen. (If necessary, discussions should be held with DN-TMDC and other relevant authorities to determine operations costs). Carry out financial and economic analyses on the chosen options to determine the least cost option. The financial analysis should assess the investment and operation and maintenance costs to develop incremental unit costs for pollution reductions and water quality

20. Compare all options in technical, environmental, financial and economic terms. After consultation with the Client, present a recommendation of the most advantageous wastewater treatment option for each of the existing and proposed WWTP’s to be adopted by the city.

Task 10 - Review the Institutional Arrangements for Wastewater Management

In conjunction with the technical, environmental and financial aspects of the study, the Consultant shall make a brief review of the current institutional arrangements for wastewater management in the city.
