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 Project

incorporates 65 communes in 8 districts (Thai Binh city, Kien Xuong, Tien Hai, Vu

Thu, Hung Ha, Thai Thuy, Dong Hung and Quynh Phu) of Thai Binh 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 were not well designed. Many types of poles are existed in the

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

the distribution lies were created to go across gardens, ponds etc. The conductor was

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.

2.5. BRIEF DESTCRIPTION OF NATURAL AND SOCIAL CONDISTION OF THE

SUBPROJECT’S PROVINCES

Geographical position and topography

Thai Binh locates in the Hong (Red) river delta. The province is close to the northern focus

economic triangle Hanoi - Hai Phong - Quang Ninh and it is also a commercial exchange gate

between Hai Phong, Quang Ninh and coastal provinces across the country.

Covering an area of 1,542.24 km2, Thai Binh makes up 0.5 percent of total area of Vietnam.

The province borders on the Gulf of Tonkin in the east, Nam Dinh and Ha Nam provinces in

the west and southwest and Hai Duong, Hung Yen and Hai Phong City in the north.

The province is surrounded by a close system of seas and rivers with coastal line of more

than 50 km long, which is an advantageous environment for the development of trade on sea

and tourism.

Thai Binh has 1 city and 7 districts divided into 284 communes, wards and towns.

Climate

Locating on the edge of the tropical climatic zone, Thai Binh has annual average temperature

of 23 - 240C, average rainfall of between 1,400 mm and 1,800 mm and humidity of about 85-

90 percent. From May to the end of October, it is always rainy and hot while the weather

from November to April next year is dry.

Land resource

Thai Binh possesses fertile land. The convenient irrigational system has partly helped build

up paddy fields yielding 14-15 tons/ha.

Total natural land across the province is 153,596 ha, of which 94,187 ha is under cultivation.

Farmers can cultivate 3-4 crops in one year. Soil in Thai Binh is also good for the plantation

of foodstuff and industrial plants of short life, tropical fruit trees, flowers, etc.

Possessing three kinds of water, namely salty water (covering 17 km2), brackish water

(covering about 20,705 ha) and fresh water (covering 9,256 ha), Thai Binh has high potential

for aquatic products.

Minerals:

In Thai Binh exists Tien Hai Gas Mine reaching annual average exploitation output of tens

millions of cubic meters used to make porcelain products, glass-wear, tile, white cement, etc.

In 2003, the state-run oil and gas corporation Petro Vietnam exploded offshore in

preparations for exploitation of gas offshore Gulf of Tonkin.

13

Tien Hai mineral water mine is at the depth of 450 meters with reserve of about 12 million

m3. Tien Hai mineral water is highly appreciated by both domestic and foreign consumers.

Recently, a mine of hot water was discovered in Duyen Hai commune, Hung Ha district at

the depth of 50 meters (hot water of 570C) and at the depth of 178 meters (hot water of 72

0C).

Transport

The system of roads and waterway in Thai Binh has long established and developed faster

than the whole country. The province possesses a total of 5,614 km of roads, including 98 km

of national roads and 312 km of provincial roads. The rest is rural roads.

Thai Binh has the Diem Dien National Seaport from which 600 tonnage ships can enter and

depart. In the second stage of the project, the seaport will be expanded and improved

Electricity

Thai Binh is among provinces and cites ranking first in the development of electricity system.

100 percent of communes in Thai Binh is provided with electricity and 98 percent of rural

households are accessed to electricity. The improved system of electricity in Thai Binh

province can satisfy demand for electricity in years ahead.

Agricultural and husbandry: rice cultivation, industrial trees, dry crop, fruits.

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.

17

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 65 communes within 8 districts of Thai

Binh 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,

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 Subproject

are described in Table 4.1.

18

Table 4.1: The assessment of Subproject's impacts

No Impact Location Description of the impacts

Pre-construction phase

1 Permanent and temporary land

acquisition

Along the

route, inside

the ROW

- 838 m2 Agricultural land will be permanently

- Average area lost is less than 2m2 per HH, it is not signification for total land holding of

HHs (about over 1000m2 per HH).

- 15,626 m2

of productive land temporarily occupied for LV distribution line.

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

- There is no HHs affected more than 10% of their total productive land holding.

- This impact is not significant in consideration with wide range of the Project: 65

communes in 7 districts.

2 Impact on Subproject affected

household

HHs have

land inside

the ROW

- 243 HHs will lose their land permanently;

- 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.

- 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 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;

19


- 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 Change of surface water quality

or water flows

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/BTNMT and QCVN 27:2010/BNTMT. 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 Excavated Soil New pole’s

foundation

- Soil excavation for pole's foundation;

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

- 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

20


9 Dust generation 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 Subproject

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 Thai Binh is quite good so transportation will be very 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.

21


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 generation 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.

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.

- Electric shock and accidents occurring if the proper safety issues are not paid proper

attention.

Operation phase

22


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.

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

- Oil refilling should be done in workshop

23

5. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

Table 5.1: Mitigation measures applied for the Subproject

No Environmental and social

impacts

Mitigation measures

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).

24


impacts

Mitigation measures

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.

25


impacts

Mitigation measures

12 Solid waste generated from soil

excavation

- Construction contractor need to commit to clean the site and disposal solid waste in the permitted places.

- 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 is 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.

- Local authorities and local people are willing to implement the subproject;

- 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.

- Warning sign for power pole system should be hang on

- Consultants should carefully consider the pole’s position; avoid erecting the pole inside garden, near houses, or residential areas.

- 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.

9.1.5 PMU’s Feedback

36

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

9.2 DISCLOSURE

The Vietnamese copies of EMP report, RP and the subproject summary will be sent to the local

authorities (district level and commune level) for disclosure at the subproject area. The expected

time will be in the end of July, 2012

The English and Vietnamese copies of EMP report will also be sent to the World Bank for

disclosure in the VDIC and InfoShop. The time for disclosure is estimated in July, 2012.
