1. INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE OF WORK

1.1. Objectives of the Project

The development objectives of the proposed Rural Energy II Project are to assist the

Government of Vietnam to alleviate poverty in the rural areas by providing basic

infrastructure service such as electricity and access to general services, for improving living

conditions and productivity. The Project will assist the Government of Vietnam to implement

its national objective of providing electricity to about 12 million rural households through:

- An effective strategy for rural electrification with special focus on provision of energy

to the remote mountainous areas;

- Rehabilitating, upgrading and expanding the rural power system in order to meet the

demand for power supply for future socio-economic development;

- Strengthening reliability and quality of power networks, reduce voltage and electricity

losses on the grid, lower rural consumption price, improve businesses efficiency and

rural power management ability of local power management boards;

- Refurbishment of the existing rural power network to increase reliability and quality

of supply, including reduction of technical and non-technical losses; this Subproject

incorporates 74 communes in 10 districts of Hung Yen province.

- Extension of existing power networks to supply additional households;

- Assisting local District and Commune committees to improve power system

management processes and improve business efficiency, to provide electricity

reliably, safely and at reasonably cost;

- Review rural power management models, to establish power management units of

legal standing, with economic independence and the managerial/technical skills to

operate effectively and profitably, repaying loaned funds;

- Expanding the use of renewable energy for the off-grid systems to serve the rural load

in the remote and isolated areas, where feasible and economically practicable;

1.2. NEED FOR SUBPROJECT INVESTMENT

Based on the forecast data on economic development, power demand and the current

situation of the existing power distribution network of the Subproject’s commune. The

existing distribution network is degraded, not synchronous. Power losses are very high. The

alignment of power lines was not well designed. Many types of poles existed in the network.

There ware also many types of electricity meters. In the past in order to save money, the

distribution lines were created to go across gardens, ponds etc. The conductor is overhead

type and not covered by any insulating materials, so it causes a lot of risk on safety to local

people. The Subproject is planned to implement in order to:

- Improve the quality of the existing distribution network in the Subproject’s

communes.

- Increase the safety management of the distribution network;

- Reduce power losses;

- Increase electricity supply for the Subproject’s communes;

- Change the form for management model of rural power network;

- Gradually modernize the distribution power network.

2.3. SOME OF MAIN TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE SUBPROJECT

MV substation

13

To reduce the investment cost, facilitate site installation and uniform project

standards, the following is to be implemented:

All new substations are designed as outdoor type pole mounted. With substation

capacity S>75 kVA two pole type construction will be used. With substation capacity

S < 31.5 kVA one pole type construction is used.

Substation requiring relocation or new pole support structures are to be built as

outdoor type, mounted on poles.

The new substations are all pole mounted, as follows:

If capacity S>= 75 kVA, mounted on two poles;

If capacity S>= 31.5 kVA, mounted on 1 pole.

Substation poles are centrifugal concrete type of 10 m or 12 m length, Class C suitable for

any requirement.

Substation base (floor) is filled 0.3 m deep with soil and covered by mixture of cement and

broken bricks

MV lines

Voltage levels: MV lines are designed to accommodate any future voltage level, defined in

the power network development and planning scheme for Hung Yen Province. In the long-

term, voltage levels 35 kV, 22 kV of MV power networks are used, in conformance with

voltage of existing 110 kV and 35/22 kV substations and transformer station to be built in

2008

Branches supplying power to transformer station at 35 kV/22kV will be connected into the

existing 35 kV/22kV lines and designed at the 35 kV/22kV voltage level.

Pole size

All poles are 10m, 12m, 14m, 16m and 20m length of classes A,B,C,D. Pole size selection is

based on the safe clearance to ground, transportation and traffic structures, crossings,

development requirements, sharing of lines for MV and LV voltages. Pole strength is selected

from load requirements.

In general, the use of poles is as follows:

For single circuit lines: centrifugal concrete pole 10m, 12m.

For double circuit lines: centrifugal concrete pole 14m.

Stayed, crossing positions and special positions: 16m, 20m poles.

Poles are manufactured to Vietnam Standards and Regulations DNT-QDKT-44/2006.

Pole foundation

To support poles, cast in situ M150 concrete foundations are used.

14

In the Subproject, MT1, MT2…MT8 type foundations are used. The selection of foundations

for each position is specified in the design stage, based on estimations of local soil,

geological and hydro-geological conditions.

For sand areas, types of cast in-situ excavated foundations: MO1, MO2, MO3, MO4 are used.

For marshy land areas, foundations should be reinforced by bamboo stakes, bamboo rafts to

strengthen the bearing capacity of foundations and to reduce stress against the foundation

surround.

Foundation depth is 10-12% of pole height plus 0.3m.

LV lines

Electricity pole

Concrete poles for most lines are H-section type, cast in workshops.

For 3 phase lines and branches along inter-District, inter-commune roads: 7.5m, 8.5m pole

sizes.

For two wire branches to communes: 6.5m, 7.5m pole sizes.

For 1 phase lines into household groups: 6.5m pole size.

A-B-C type poles according to bearing requirements of each position; manufactured to the

standard DNT-QDKT-44/2006.

For poles near vehicle transport areas: use 10 m, 12 m centrifugal concrete poles to ensure

safe clearances.

For MV, LV line co-sharing positions: use MV line concrete poles.

Most concrete poles are A and B-type poles, manufactured to standard DNT-QDKT-44/2006.

Square concrete poles and circular concrete poles are used at the following positions:

Straight, corner positions of 3 phase trunk lines: single poles; and

Corner anchor, straight anchor, end anchor: double poles.

If poles are installed near households, trafficable roads, double poles should be used at corner

anchoring, straight anchoring, end anchoring positions; stayed tension poles are used only at

such high bearing positions that double poles could not solve and tension poles are

conveniently placed;

Utilize existing poles which are of good quality and satisfy the standard when installing new

conductors.

Poles under 7.5m size are not used for 3 phase trunk lines.

Poles recovered from lines are to be returned to localities to allow people to re-use poles to

support supply lines to houses.

Pole foundation

To support line poles, cast in-situ M100 concrete block foundations are used:

For single poles: use MV1, MV2

15

H double poles: use MV3.

The depth of foundations is in proportion to pole heights (about 10% of pole height)

If double poles cannot satisfy the high bearing requirements and are in tension pole positions,

it is required to use:

D14 tension poles with foundation in proportion to pole height. Tension poles contain

14 round hot dipped steel according to Vietnamese Standards;

MN 15-5 anchors buried 1.5-2.0m according to bearing requirements and site clearance;

MN 10-10-7 stayed-on-the-spot anchors in sand areas.

For lines across sand areas (rivers, coastal), cast in-situ M100 concrete excavated foundations

are used, in combination with pre-cast M200 reinforced concrete round pipes with 1000,

1200, 1500 diameter.

For reused pole positions, if conductor size increased by two or more sizes, must increase

concrete in the existing foundation to ensure bearing requirements are satisfied.

2.4. SOME OF MAIN ACTIVITES FOR CONSTRUCTION AND INSTALLATION

Site clearance

- Site clearance for both the MV and LV systems is undertaken by the local

Compensation and Site Clearance Board based on ROW handover by the Consultant.

4. ASSESSMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS

4.1. CLASSIFICATION OF IMPACTS

The Environmental Impact Assessment focuses on the major environmental issues of

the Project’s Most Favoured Alternative. The potential impacts of the Project’s pre-

construction, construction, and operation phases were assessed as being in one of four

categories:

i. NO IMPACT. The potential impact of the Project activity is assessed as NO

IMPACT if the project activity is physically removed in space or time from the

environmental component.

ii. MAJOR IMPACT. An impact is said to be MAJOR if the project activity has

potential to affect an environmental component. Major impacts could be “Major

Negative” or “Major Positive.” The following criteria were used to determine whether

a given impact is MAJOR:

a) Spatial scale of the impact (site, local, regional, or national/ international);

b) Time horizon of the impact (short, medium, or long term);

c) Magnitude of the change in the environmental component brought about by

the Project activities (small, moderate, large);

d) Importance to local human populations;

e) Compliance with national, provincial, or district environmental protection

laws, standards, and regulations

f) Compliance with Vietnam’s international commitments. These include the

Convention on Wetlands of International Importance especially as Waterfowl

Habitat (RAMSAR), the Convention Concerning the Protection of the World

Cultural and Natural Heritage (World Heritage Convention), and the

Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and

Flora (CITES); and

g) Compliance with World Bank guidelines, policies, and regulations.

iii. MINOR IMPACT. If an impact occurs but does not meet the criteria for a Major

Impact it is assigned the category MINOR. Minor impacts could be “Minor negative”

or “Minor Positive.”

iv. MITIGABLE IMPACT. The potential impact of a project activity on an

environmental component is said to be MITIGABLE if there is potential for a major

negative impact and the proposed mitigation measure will prevent the impact or

reduce the impact to acceptable levels.

4.2. IDENTIFICATION OF POTENTIAL IMPACTS OF THE SUBPROJECT

The Subproject will play an important role in the electrification program and in

implementation of the policy of poverty alleviation of 74 communes within 10 districts of

Hung Yen province. It will also promote the policy of industrialization and modernization of

the Government of Vietnam as well as create a great opportunity for overall socio-economic

development of the poor area.

When the distribution lines are constructed, there is a trend of local people to move to

live near the lines. The local people committee will have a proper planning accordingly to

support the development of the areas. These planning are included: road, residential area,

22

industrial development and farming etc. The communes/districts will move toward its

planning.

Beside the significant beneficial impacts, the subproject may cause different adverse

impacts on the environment and local socio-economy. By using Environmental Screening

Data Checklist and Environmental baseline Checklist as guided in Framework for Applying

Environment Safeguards to Rural Energy II Project, The potential impacts of the Project are

described in Table 4.1.

23

Table 4.1: The assessment of Subproject's impacts

No Impact Magnitude Description of the impacts

Pre-construction phase

1 Permanent and temporary land

acquisition

Along the route,

inside the ROW

- 652 m2 of Productive land will be permanently occupied.

- 3,172 m2 of Productive land will be temporarily occupied.

- Refer to Appendix 8 for more information and supporting – data;

- This impact is not significant in consideration with wide range of the

Subproject: 74 communes in 10 districts; more than 230,130 HHs will be

supplied electricity by the Subproject; this land is taken from 202 HHs

permanently and from 358 HHs temporarily.

2 Impact on Subproject affected

household

HHs have land

inside the ROW

-202 HHs will lose their land permanently;

- 358 HHs will have land that is temporarily occupied;

- Refer to Appendix 8 for supporting data;

- During designing of the Subproject, the alignment has been carefully

considered in order to avoid crossing houses and other structures; wrong

positioning of poles; minimizing temporary and minimizing land

acquisition.

3 Impacts associated with clearing

the ROW

Along the route

and inside the

ROW

- All of parts of trees that are higher than 4m need to be cut. The trees are

still remained.

- The lines are not going through any forested areas or areas with highly

ecological value.

- Acquired lands are mainly un-used land along the existing road, crossing

agricultural fields with very low ecological values.

- See Appendix 8 for information on number of trees to be cut. These trees

24


have value in economics (fruit trees) rather than environmental.

4 Health risk due to explosives,

chemical hazard

Subproject area - The area is very intensively used by local government and people. There

is no risk of explosives;

- No hazardous chemicals are used in the Subproject.

5 Loss of historical and cultural

properties

Subproject area - The routes are designed to avoid temples, churches and other cultural,

historical properties in the areas, so the Subproject will not effect any

cultural heritages

- During construction if there is any valuable historical or cultural

properties are found underground, the Contractor and Subproject owner

will report to local Department of Culture and information for further

consideration.

Construction phase

6 Surface water contamination At new pole’s

foundation,

Worker’s camp

- The water can be more turbid due to the soil residue from excavation of

the pole's foundation will enter to the water bodies by water run off.

7 Noise and vibration Subproject area,

work site

- Noise levels during construction will be required to comply with

Vietnamese standard QCVN 26:2010. Use of construction machinery will

be limited due to the small scale of the Subproject (distribution as opposed

to transmission lines), and the very short period of time involved in

construction activities.

- Noise and vibration are caused by: equipment, material transportation,

Subproject's vehicles, pole's erection and cable's pulling, generators (if

there is any)

8 Soil erosion New pole’s

foundation

- Soil excavation for pole's foundation;

- Vegetation cover is reduced due to ROW clearance and access roads’

construction.

25


- Subproject’s sites are in plain areas or in plain position, so the risk of soil

erosion is not high.

- In terms of soil erosion, the impact is considered to be minor due to the

small scale of the activities involved, the limited period over which they

will occur, and the spatially small areas to be affected. Furthermore, these

impacts could be reduced to less than minor with implementation of

mitigation measures

9 Air pollution Subproject area,

work site, local

roads

- Dust generated from soil excavation, especially during dry seasons.

- Dust caused by movement of vehicles transporting material and

equipment for Subproject construction.

10 Agricultural production due to

temporary acquisition of

productive land

Along the route,

inside the ROW

- Some of productive land will be required for a short period for

construction.

- Refer to Appendix 8 for supporting data

11 Traffic disturbance Subproject area,

local roads

- Transportation of material and equipment, soil excavation and cable

pulling activities will disturb the normal traffic in the areas during short

period of time;

- Equipment will be transported from receiving port to warehouses of the

Project owners by special trucks;

- From warehouses to construction the goods are transported by truck 5 to

7.5 tons and unloaded by 5 tones cranes;

- Construction materials will be transported by 10 to 12 tones trucks;

unloaded by 5 tones cranes;

- Steel constructions are transported by 5 tones trucks; unloaded by man

power;

- Road system in Hung Yen is very good so transportation will be very

26


convenient and will cause less impact to local traffic;

- Construction work will be mainly carried out along the rural roads with

high gathering of poles, construction materials. It will cause disturbance to

traffic in rural areas as well. But this disturbance in quite minor since the

construction duration at each site is short, rural transportation is not very

intensive and mainly by rudimentary vehicles like bicycles, motorbikes,

etc.

- Cable pulling crossing the roads can cause disturbance to transportation

also. But scaffolds are required in these crossing sections and will reduce

the traffic disturbance.

12 Road degradation Local roads - Heavy loaded vehicles might degrade the existing roads, which usually

are not very good in rural areas.

13 Biological environment impacts Along the route,

inside the ROW

- Some of trees will need to be cut. But these trees are common planted

species like agricultural or fruit trees.

- Some of insects are small animals will lose their habitat but the insects

and animals are common species. Area of loose habitats is small in

comparison with entire affected ecosystem. Main ecosystems that are

affected by the Subproject is agricultural, shrub trees along the roads etc.

- The trees that will be cut by the Subproject is mainly fruit trees, trees

along the roads, they have economic value rather than environmental

value.

14 Solid waste generated from soil

excavation

New pole’s

foundation, work

site

- The soil and construction materials can remain in the site;

- Contractors need to commit to return the working sites to the original

conditions and clean up the construction sites.

15 Environmental impacts caused

by construction worker

Subproject area,

worker camps

- Solid waste, wastewater disposal and hygiene condition.

- Possible dissemination of certain diseases from construction workers to

local people and vice versa.

27


16 Conflict between construction

worker and local people

Subproject

communes

- The conflicts might cause by difference in incomes, cultures, behaviors;

- Duration of construction work is very limited (about 6 months); local

people will be hired for simple work, only skill staff from other locations

are hired to do professional work; it estimated that the group of 15 persons

will be formed for each working team; so all of these figures reveals that

the risk of conflict is not very high and serious.

17 Health and Safety Work site,

Subproject area

- Accidents might happen during construction if the safety issues are not

well considered.

Operation phase

18 Development and poverty

alleviation

Subproject area - Increase the quality of life for local peoples.

- Support agricultural production and other services including health and

education

19 Habitat fragmentation and

increase access to wild lands

Subproject area - No new road or access roads are constructed

- No line crossing the forest, wetland or other natural habitats.

20 Health and safety Subproject area - Electric shock and accidents occurring if the proper safety issues are not

paid proper attention

21 EMF Subproject area - With voltage just up to 35 kV, the EMF is not a problem.

22 Impacts on aircrafts Subproject area - The height of pole is less than 50 m. There will not be any problem with

avian and aircrafts

23 Oil hazardous waste

contamination

Subproject area - The Subproject has the potential to cause oil contamination from leakage

from transformers. The transformers used are small, with a 20 liter or less

capacity. Operation records for similar transformers show that the chance

of container breakage that could cause an oil spill is almost zero.

Therefore, a risk of oil contamination caused by the Subproject from either

of these two sources is extremely low, if not negligible.

28


- No PCBs containing oil and other hazardous chemicals will be used.

- Oil refilling should be done in workshop

29

5. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

Table. 5.1. Mitigation measures applied for the Subproject

No Impact Mitigation measures applied

Pre-construction phase

1 Permanent and temporary land

acquisition

- Careful site survey, consult with local peoples for optimum route selection.

- Avoid ecologically high value areas (forest, reserve area, wetland etc.).

- Proper compensate the impacts.

2 Impact on Subproject affected

household

- Routes should be selected to minimize the need to relocate houses

- Increase the span between towers, increase the tower height, use hanging substation etc. to minimize the

impacts on Subproject affected households.

- Compensate for the impacts.

3 Impacts associated with clearing

the ROW

- Work with Subproject affected households during clearance of ROWs to minimize impacts to

surrounding trees and other constructions;

- Not allow using any herbicides and defoliant to clear the trees within ROWs.

- Not allow burning the wooden residue after tree cutting.

4 Health risk due to explosives,

chemical hazard

- Not necessary to apply any mitigation measure

Construction phase

5 Surface water contamination - Soil excavation is managed to carry out in the shortest period.

- Construction material will be kept in the store with cover to protect from rain.

- Select a right place for concrete mixing.

- Residue from earthwork should be removed from the site to proper places (soil residue can use for

garden filling; concrete residues are removed by contractor to the permitted places).

30


6 Noise and vibration - Use the construction machines that have noise level under permitted limits.

- Carefully consider night work. No night work is permitted to carry out in populated and sensitive areas

like hospital, residential, student camp.

7 Soil erosion - Excavate and earth-moving activities in erosion prone areas will be schedule in the dry seasons, after the

harvest time and during the shortest duration of time.

- Land surface recovery after the pole erection.

8 Air pollution - Minimize the construction time in each site. Spray water regularly on dirt piles and any other areas that

could create dust

- Use wind fences in case of strong wind.

- Minimize use of diesel generators.



productive land

- Carry out the construction work after harvest time.

- Compensate for the loss of agricultural productivity

- Return the construction areas to the useful state after the work.

10 Traffic disturbance - Minimize the construction work (excavation, cable pulling) in traffic intensive sites.

- Use warning signs in construction sites.

- Cooperate with local authority for traffic arrangement.

- Avoid high-traffic areas

11 Damaging the existing road

system

- Construction Contractor needs to commit to not use heavy vehicles that might cause damage to the

existing road system in the area.

- Not allow vehicles with heavy load of construction material and equipment to enter the road system. The

load should be separated to acceptable levels that the road can resist for.

- Repair the road when there is any damage occurred.

12 Solid waste generated from soil - Construction contractor need to commit to clean the site and disposal solid waste in the permitted places.

31


excavation - Reuse as much as possible an excavated soil for refilling foundation.

13 Environmental impacts caused by

construction worker

- Minimize the impact of solid waste: Solid waste should be disposed properly by local collecting system

or dumping in permitted areas of communes.

- Arrange hygiene toilets for workers;

- Provide clean water for camping areas. Control discharge of waste water from camping sites. Not allow

discharge waste water directly to clean water sources such as rivers, stream, which are supplying water for

residential areas.



- Hire as much as possible local citizens for the simple construction work to avoid the influx of migrants.

- In cases where the worker camps are near the communes, the Employer could request that the Contractor

provide accurate, timely and regular information about the construction team to the People’s Committees

in affected areas. With open communication and information, the People’s Committee and Contractor will

be able to make a joint informed decision about the management of construction team accommodation.

- Rectify the impact: The general conditions of Contract should state: after the Subproject finished, all

camps will be completed removed and the campsites will be rectified to their original conditions.

15 Health and Safety - Organize the health care service in each group of workers.

- Inform workers the safety regulations and procedures, do not hire any local people who are not trained

in working safety

- Equip safety facilities for the workers, prohibit unauthorized persons entering construction sites,

especially dangerous areas.

Operation phase

9.1.4 Comments from the Participants

Main comments received from participants are summarized as bellows:

- Construction work should carry out in dry season, after harvesting;

- Contractor should clean and return construction sites to the previous condition;

- Consultant should inform local about construction work as soon as they can so people

can have a plan to harvest agricultural products in their affected lands.

- Avoid carrying out construction work in steep sites to avoid soil erosion.

- Subproject owner should pay compensation before construction period.

- Contractors and Consultants should inform soon about land acquisition so affected

peoples can have their working plan in un- affected land

- Related parties should consider reducing the electricity tariff for farmers in this area.

- Head and responsible people of the villages should convince people to release the

land on time for Contractor;

- Compensation should be done equally and clearly

- There is a need to support households that are heavily affected by the Subproject

- Construction work should be planned to carry out in the shortest time to avoid losses

in agricultural production.

All local authorities and local people are willing to implement the subproject as soon as

possible;

9.1.5 PMU’s Feedback

The environmental impact of subproject is not serious due to the nature of the impact

is small and the scope is reasonable

The mitigation measures will be presented in the EMP as part of this report. The

mitigation measures will be incorporated in the tender documents that the contractor must

comply and the contractor shall submit an organizational chart of the construction site,

construction methods and mitigation measures for investors to approve the bidding results

The construction contractors will have to report the organizational chart of

construction site, make the temporary residence statement for workers and coordinate with

local government to administer these workers

The Subproject team will complete all procedures for preparing the Subproject

investment and require the investor to arrange capital for the subproject

All of the concerns, comments of local people were recorded and considered by

consultants and Subproject’s owner during designing of the Subproject and development of

EMP for the Subproject.
