VII. EMP IMPLEMENTATION ARRANGEMENT AND CAPACITY BUILDING

7.1. Responsibilities for Implementing the Environmental Management Plan

Non-compliance by the contractor could result in suspension of works, financial

penalties, or other penalties, as must be clearly spelled out in the EMP and in the contract.

Contractors are responsible for implementation of EMP. The responsibilities for

monitoring EMP implementation are typically shared between the contractor, the PMU, and

the Construction Supervision Consultant (CSC). The Contractor’s Work Plan should

incorporate the guidelines provided in the EMP created for the subproject. The designated

Technical Officer(s) and Safeguards Officer(s) of the PMU are responsible for supervising

the adherence to the agreed EMP by the selected contractor(s). The World Bank may

periodically supervise implementation activities of the subproject.

At a minimum, the contractor should prepare a monthly report on adherence to EMP

which should be submitted to the CSC and to the PMU. Subproject-specific or contract-

specific reporting requirements are described in the EMP. CSC is responsible for monitoring

Summary of comments from the participants:

- All local people agreed to implement the Project. However, they required quick

construction, limited delay, prolong extension and cleaniness for environment and

work quality.

- The ROW which has been chosen suitable is proper and convenient for construction

work. The line route was chosen to minimize the negative impacts;

- The land occupation and pruning of trees are considered and reduced to a

minimum. Therefore, the long term adverse effects on the environment will not occur;

- Local people have three main concerns to the project’s environment issue. The first

one is that the damages which are due to tree felling, land acquisition are

compensated or not. The second one is that who will be responsible for monitoring

the implementation of mitigation measures, in some previous projects, the Contractor

had promised to implement mitigation measures, but in fact they did not do. The last

38

one is the role of local communities in the implementation of mitigation measures,

especially in monitoring the implementation of mitigation measures. About the

potential impact of sub-project on the environment, local people emphasized the

impact which involves felling trees, occupied land and village roads.

- The Consultant and the Contractor must select the appropriate time for construction

phase to minimize the crop affect, to avoid damage or degradation on the roads, to

avoid traffic jams. The construction space should be allocated appropriately to

minimize the impact on daily life impact of local people;

- Once the construction is completed, the contractor shall rehabilitate the site and return

the original landscape.

- The local government always volunteers to cooperation with the Project owner and

the Contractor in environmental supervision and management activities;

- The citizens and local governments expect that sub-project is constructed and

operated as soon as possible.

The summary of meeting with local residents, minute of stakeholder consultation

meeting and some photos about the meeting attached in Annex 6.

All relevant issues as well as comments by the local residents have been taken into

account by the supervising consultant and the project owner and shall include them in the

design of the project and EMP implementation.

Activity 4: Review and correct the EMP in accordance with the

comments. Continuing to receive feedback from the affected households. To collect opinions

of the people to complete the environmental impact mitigation measures in the EPC and

EMP.

Activity 5:Disclosure of the EMP

The EMP will be translated into Vietnamese and disclosed in the country at PMU, as

well as in Hung Yen province, and the subproject areas.

The EMP copies in Vietnamese and English will be sent to the Vietnam Development

Information Center at 63 Ly Thai To street, Hanoi City for disclosure of information.The

EMP copies in English will also be disclosed in the Infoshop of the World Bank.
