1 Introduction

1.1 Background to Project

The Rural Energy Project (REP) is being implemented by Electricity Vietnam (EVN) and Quang NgaiProvince, to achieve electrification targets set by the Government of Vietnam (GOV). These targetsenvisage provision of energy to 100% of districts, 80% of communes and 60% of households inVietnam. The REP will help to achieve the GOV electrification targets by:

. developing a national strategy for electrification and for provision of energy to remotemountainous areas; and

. connecting approximately 900 communes throughout Vietnam to the national grid.

The REP is now entering its second phase, known as the Rural Energy II (REII) Project. EVN isproposing to implement the REII Project (the project) in Quang Ngai Province in south-centralVietnam (refer Figure 1.1). The project represents one component of the second phase of the RuralEnergy Project (REP) and has the following specific objectives:

. complete the MV and LV networks to meet the power needs of the province to assist socio-economic development for the next 20 years to 2025; and

. increase reliability and quality of the network by reducing voltage drop and power losses, reducingthe cost of rural energy and increasing the efficiency of power supply.

The component of the REII project that is the subject of this environmental assessment involves theupgrading and extension of the medium and low voltage electricity distribution network in 74communes in seven districts in Quang Ngai Province. The project will benefit 157,123 householdsincluding 7,720 households that will have access to electricity for the first time as a result of theproject.

The project will provide electricity to 100% of the households in the project communes with the aim ofimproving living conditions of households by enhancing the accessibility and security of electricitysupply.

1.2 Purpose of the Environmental Assessment

The Environmental Assessment (EA) of the REII project in Quang Ngai Province has been carried outto achieve the following:

* Review the baseline conditions of the biophysical and socio-economic environment in the projectarea through data review, site inspections and meetings with project communes (refer Section 3).

* Undertake an examination of the potential impacts of the project on the biophysical and socio-economic environments to determine the type and magnitude of such impacts and determine therequired level of environmental impact assessment to fulfill World Bank and GOV requirements(refer Section 4).

* Document the outcomes of public consultation and disclosure activities associated with theproject, including meetings with representatives of each of the Communes in the project area(refer Section 5).

* Develop an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) to be implemented during the pre-construction, construction and operation phases of the project (refer Section 6).

1.3 Policy, Legal and Administrative Framework

1.3.1 World Bank Policy on Environmental Assessment

Because the GOV will receive a World Bank loan to conduct the project, this report has beenprepared in accordance with both the World Bank's safeguard policies and the GOV's policies onenvironmental assessment and environmental protection.

The REII Project in Quang Ngai Province is classified by the World Bank as a Category B project forthe purposes of environmental assessment in accordance with World Bank OP 4.01 EnvironmentalAssessment (October 1998). This classification was based on preliminary activities conducted by EVNand WB, and the results of the findings of the environmental assessment of the project, which arepresented in Section 4. Classification as a Category B project indicates that the potential adverseimpacts of the project are site-specific, few if any are irreversible and in most cases appropriatemitigation measures can be developed to reduce impacts to acceptable levels.

Additional World Bank policies that were considered through the Project's EIA process include:

* OPN 11.03 Cultural Property;

* OP 4.04 Natural Habitats;* OD 4.20 Indigenous Peoples; and

BP 17.50 Public Disclosure.

2 Project Description

2.1 Project Overview

The REII project in Quang Ngai Province involves the upgrading and extension of the medium andlow voltage electricity network in 74 communes in seven districts. The project involves upgrading ofthe existing low voltage' (LV) and medium voltage2 (MV) network to improve security of supply andease of maintenance, and providing short extensions to the existing low voltage network to servecurrently unconnected households. The project will result in 100% coverage of households in theproject communes. The project will be carried out predominantly within the existing ROWs of the MVand LV network with only short extensions of the ROW required to serve individual households.Figure 2.1 provides a schematic illustration of the project for a typical commune.

2.4 Project Activities

The project will be undertaken in three stages: pre-construction, construction and operation. Thefollowing sections describe the activities that will be carried out in each of the three stages.

2.4.1 Pre-Construction

During pre-construction, the detailed design of the project will be carried out. During detailed design,decisions on the location, number and specification of the following will occur:

ROW alignmentPole structures

* Sub-station locations and structures• Access track locations* Worksites and material storages* Construction camps

The detailed design will take into account the mitigation measures discussed in Section 4.

Land acquisition will also be undertaken during the pre-construction activities. The project will requiretemporary acquisition of land for use during the construction works and some permanent acquisitionof land at the locations of the poles, sub-stations and other permanent project features.

Rural Energy li Project Environmental Assessment Quang Ngai Province

2.4.2 Construction Activities

The following construction activities will be carried out as part of the project:

* Clearing of the ROW: vegetation and other items in the ROW will be cleared using a combinationof manual and mechanical methods. The width of the ROW will be 2 m for the LV network and6 m for the MV network. The extent and timing of clearing will be undertaken to minimise impactson land use as described in Section 4.

* Establishment of temporary access tracks: Given that the project involves upgrading andminor extension of the existing network, the need for new access tracks to be established will beminimal. Wherever possible, existing access tracks will be used in favour of creating new tracks.When new tracks are required, they will be of minimal width (approximately 3 to 4 m wide) toallow construction vehicles to pass. Access tracks will be rehabilitated following completion ofconstruction. It is not envisaged that any permanent access tracks will be required.

. Establishment of material storage areas and worksites: Within each commune there will be aneed to establish small material storage areas and worksites. These areas will be small(approximately 5 to 15 m2 ) and will be located at the same location as the construction camps(refer below) and predominantly in existing disturbed areas in accordance with the measuresdescribed in Section 4. All material storage areas and worksites will be temporary and will berehabilitated following completion of construction.

. Establishment of construction camps: It is anticipated that one work crew will be assigned toeach commune for a period of two to three months. It is anticipated that work crews will comprise10 to 15 workers. The contractor will be encouraged to maximise the use of workers from thelocal community. Construction workers from outside the local area will be housed in constructoncamps. Construction camps will be located outside the communes in existing cleared areas,where possible. Construction camps will require approximately 100 m of cleared land. Camps willinclude sanitation facilities and waste storage areas and will be rehabilitated following completionof construction.

. Removal and upgrading activities: The project involves the upgrading and extension of theexisting network. During construction, some sections of the existing network will be removed toallow new infrastructure to be constructed. Other sections will be upgraded through stringing ofnew wires or installation of new transformers. Note that transformers from the existing network willbe reused wherever possible.

* Pole erection and wire stringing: These activities will be carried out using predominantlymanual labour. Excavation for poles will be in the order of 2 m2 for each pole.

. Sub-station construction: Sub-stations will require clearing of approximately 5m2 and will be ofa height of approximately 6 m.

. Materials transport: Transport of materials will be undertaken using a combination ofconstruction vehicles to transport materials to the main construction sites and manual labour.

* Generator operation: Portable generators will be required throughout construction to providepower to certain activities.

. Waste and spoil management: Management measures that will be implemented for wastegenerated during the construction are described in Section 4.2.6.

The majority of the works will be undertaken using manual construction methods and will be carriedout predominantly within the existing ROW or disturbed areas, with only short sections of new ROWor additional clearing required.

2.4.3 Operation Activities

Following completion of the construction activities, the upgraded and new sections of LV and MV lineswill be connected to the network and energized.

During the life of the project, regular infrastructure maintenance activities will be undertaken.Maintenance of vegetation under the electricity lines and close to other project infrastructure will alsobe carried out to ensure required safety clearances are maintained.


The project communes will manage operation of the electricity network constructed as part of the REIIProject.

2.5 Project Schedule

Project implementation will occur between June 2004 and December 2005.

2.6 Project Cost

The total investment for the project is estimated at VND 335,383,764,000 without replacing meters and382,463,964,000 with replacing meters. A summary of estimated costs is provided in Table 2.5.

3 Description of Environment in Study Area

3.1 IntroductionQuang Ngai Province is located in the southern central region of Vietnam and has an area of5135 km . The province comprises one town (Quang Ngai) and twelve districts, seven of which areincluded in the project (refer Figure 2.2).

The province is located approximately 883 km south of Hanoi and 885 km north of Ho Chi Minh Cityand is bordered by the provinces of Quang Nam to the north, Kon Tum and Gia Lai to the west andBinh Dinh to the south. Quang Ngai Province has approximately 130 km of coastline on the East Sea.

Section 3.2 provides information about the biophysical environment in the study area, and Section 3.3provides information about the socio-economic environment in the study area. The informationpresented in these sections has been obtained from a number of primary and secondary informationsources (refer Section 8). For some issues limited information was available and these deficiencieshave been noted in the appropriate parts of Sections 3 and 4.

3.2 Biophysical Environment of Study Area

3.2.1 Air Quality and Climate

Air quality within the project area is influenced by the predominantly rural nature of land use (referSection 3.3.1). Major air pollutants include dust and particulate matter generated by agriculturalactivities and land clearing, particularly during the dry season. The relatively low level of industry andurban development in the project area ensures that levels of other pollutants are generally low.

The climate within the province is monsoonal and is dominated by two distinct seasons, the wet andthe dry seasons. The wet season lasts generally from October to January. The annual meantemperature in the province is 24.50C, with an annual average minimum of 13.80C and an annualaverage maximum of 37.50C. The average humidity in the province is 80.2% and average annualrainfall is 1957 mm, on an average of 120 days per year (ICNRE, 2003).

High rainfall in the province during the wet season often results in major flood events (refer Section3.2.3). During the dry season, low rainfall leading to low river flows and high temperatures can resultin the occurrence of severe drought conditions (World Bank et al, 2003).

3.2.2 Acoustic Environment

Quantitative data on ambient noise levels in Quang Ngai Province are sparse. However, noise levelsare generally low due to the predominantly rural nature of the land use. Local sources of noisegeneration include agricultural activities and transport related noise in proximity of major transportcorridors such as National Highway One and the north-south rail line.

3.2.3 Hydrology, Drainage and Water Quality

The major rivers in Quang Ngai Province are Tra Bong River, Tra Khuc River, Tra Cau River andVe River (refer Figure 2.2). These rivers flow from the mountainous areas in the west of the provincein an easterly direction towards five small bays on the East Sea; Sa Can, Sa Ky, Co Luy, My A andSa Huynh Bays (ICNRE, 2003). The Rivers in Quang Ngai Province are generally short and fastflowing (UNEP, 2002).

Major flood events occur regularly in Quang Ngai Province in the wet season as a result of highrainfall and the short, steep topography of rivers in the area. Flood records kept since 1985 indicatethat large flood events occurred in 1988, 1995, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 and 20033. Thesefloods occurred in the province during the wet season and resulted in major damage to infrastructureand loss of life.

3 Large floods are classified as those that cause significant damage to structures of agriculture, long intervals between

similar events and/or fatalities occur (Dartmouth Flood Observatory, 2003).

1vA_srrk OnOA Pace 1 1


During the dry season, low river flows result in adverse effects on aquatic ecosystems and cause

severe salt infiltration in coastal areas, which adversely affects water quality.

Detailed information on surface water quality of individual water bodies in Quang Ngai Province was

not available. However, information on water quality within the province and the south-central region

has been collated and summarised in Table 3.1 to provide an overview of water quality issues in the

project area.

Table 3.1: Summary of Provincial and Regional Water Quality Issues

River water quality . Generally satisfactory in upstream and mid- UNEP, 2002stream sections

* Poorer water quality in downstream sections World Bank et al, 2003. Low river flows during dry season cause severe

salt intrusion in coastal areas. Main influences include urban pollution and saline

intrusion

Groundwater quality . Generally satisfactory on plains UNEP, 2002. Salt intrusion is an issue in estuarine areas

Coastal waters . Main pollutants are oils, phosphates and nitrates World Bank et al, 2003

Surface water availability . Low availability World Bank et al, 2003

Groundwater availability . Medium availability World Bank et al, 2003

3.2.4 Topography, Soils and Geology

Quang Ngai's topography slopes from the east up to the mountainous areas in the west. The mainlandforms in the province are the mountainous regions in the west, midland areas, a narrow delta

area adjacent to the East Sea and islands (ICNRE, 2003).

The highest mountains in the province are Ca Dam (1,600 m), Da Vach / Thach Bich 1,500 m) and

Cao Muon (1,085 m) (ICNRE, 2003).

The majority of districts involved in the project are located in the coastal and midland areas (refer

Figure 2.2). However, within Son Tinh, Minh Long and Nghia Hanh Districts, several projectcommunes in the western parts of these districts are located in hilly or mountainous areas.

Soils in the mountainous and hilly areas of the province are comprised predominantly of yellow-redsoils that are subject to erosion, particularly during the wet season. In the coastal areas, soils are

generally sandy (World Bank et al, 2003; UNEP, 2002).

3.2.5 Ecology and Biodiversity

Forested areas cover approximately 144,000 ha or 28% of the province (GSO, 2001). Forest cover in

the province is shown in Figure 2.2 and Annex A. Forest cover in Quang Ngai Province is evergreen

forest type. This forest type is the most common in Vietnam (representing 64% of forest cover), but is

the type being reduced at the fastest rate and is relatively poorly conserved in protected areas

(Birdlife International et al, 1999). The eco-regions (areas representing unique assemblages of

species and/or forest associations) present in Quang Ngai are as follows(Birdlife International et al, 1999):

* Southern Vietnam Coastal Forest (predominant eco-region)

* Kom Tum Montane Forest

Eastern Indochina Moist Forest


Based on the 'Map of Nature Conservation Areas of Vietnam' (NEA et a!, 2001), no areas ofecological sensitivity have been identified in the project area. Figure 2.2 shows the location of sites ofecological sensitivity that exist in Quang Ngai Province outside the project area.

There are no protected areas located in the project districts (Birdlife International, 2001). No Ramsarwetlands occur in the project area (UNEP WCMC, 1994).

In terms of aquatic biodiversity, issues that have been identified generally for the south central region(including Quang Ngai Province) include a decline in freshwater fish species, degradation of marinebiodiversity and habitats and the presence of vulnerable eco-systems including coastal lagoons, coralreefs and seagrass beds (World Bank et al, 2003). The marine environment off the coast ofQuang Ngai Province has been identified as sensitive (World Bank et a!, 2003).

3.3 Socio-economic Environment of Study Area

3.3.1 Land Use

The total area of Quang Ngai Province is 5135.2 km2. Table 3.2 provides information on the main landuse types within the province (GSO, 2001).

Table 3.2: Land Use in Quang Ngai Province

Residential 6594 1.3

Agriculture 99,055 19.2

Forestry 144,164 28.1

Special Uses 20,797 4.0

Unused 242,800 47.2

Agriculture is one of the major land uses in the province and accounts for the majority of theprovince's GDP (refer Section 3.3.4). The major crops produced in Quang Ngai Province are cerealsand rice (GSO, 2003).

Land use in the project communes is also predominantly agricultural, with rice production being themain activity. There is low-density residential development within the project communes and someforest cover (refer Figure 2.2 and Annex A).

3.3.2 Demographics

The population of Quang Ngai Province in 2002 was 1,223,600 persons and the average populationdensity was 234 persons/km2 . The annual population growth rate is 1 %. Approximately 12% of thepopulation lives in urban areas and 88% in rural areas (GSO, 2003; GSO 2001).

Table 3.3 contains data about the population in the project area.

According to the 1999 census, there are 26 ethnic groups living in Quang Ngai, of which the Kinh

people represent 88.4% of the province's population. Other ethnic groups include the H're (8.7%),

Co (1.9%) and Xo Dang (1.9%) (ICNRE, 2003).

There are very few ethnic minority households in the project area. Information about ethnic minorities

in the project area is contained in Table 3.4.

3.3.3 Community Facilities and Services

Table 3.5 summarises some key features of Quang Ngai Province in relation to access to community

facilities (GSO, 2001; NCSSH, 2001).

Table 3.5: Access to Community Facilities and Services in Quang Ngai Province

The data contained in Table 3.6 indicates that on average, the project communes have better accessto electricity compared to the average for the province, and for the majority of districts, better accessthan the average for the country (83.6%). This reflects the aims of the project to upgrade and extendthe existing medium and low voltage electricity network, rather than the construction of a new network

to serve previously unconnected communes.

3.3.4 Local Economy

In 1999, the GDP of Quang Ngai Province was 2920.2 billion VND. Agriculture accounted for 45.6% ofthe GDP with services (34.8%) and industry (19.6%) also contributing to the GDP (NCSSH, 2001).

Within Quang Ngai Province, 22.9% of the population has an income below the poverty line, which isa significantly higher proportion than for Vietnam as a whole (13.2%) (NCSSH, 2001).

Table 3.7 contains information about occupation and average annual income in the project area.

Table 3.7: Income and Occupation in Project Area

Son Tinh 2,818,764 Agriculture

Mo Duc 2,715,833 Agriculture

Duc Pho 3,444,517 Agriculture

Minh Long 2,900,000 Agriculture

The average annual income per capita for the South Central Coast region is 3,033,600 VND and forVietnam, 3,540,000 (GSO, 2001). Table 3.6 indicates that the average annual income of householdsin the project area is below the average per capita for the province and for Vietnam.

None of the communes in the project area are included in the GOV's Program 135, which is aprogramme to facilitate socio-economic development of disadvantaged communes in mountainous,highland, far and remote communities.

3.3.5 Traffic and Transport

The road network in the project area is shown on Figure 2.2 and in Annex A. Quang Ngai Province istraversed in a north-south direction by National Highway No. 1 and the main north-south rail lirne.There is a broad network of district level and commune level roads in the province. The majority(95.7%) of communes in the province have car access (GSO, 2001).

3.3.6 Cultural Property 6

Quang Ngai Province contains a number of cultural and historic relics and sites located in districtscontained in the project area including (ICNRE, 2003):

Sa Huynh scenic relic (Duc Pho District);* Ba Gia Victory relic (Son Tinh District); and* Son My Memorial (Son Tinh District).

It is possible that there may be other items or places with cultural significance located within the studyarea that have not been identified at this time.

5 The data in Table 3.7 relates only to the project communes within each of the districts.

6 WB OPN-l 1.03 'Cultural Property' (September 1986) contains the following definition of culiural property - sites having

archaeological, paleontological, historical, religious and unique natural values ... encompasses both remains left by

previous human inhabitants and unique natural environmental features.

4 Screening for Environmental Impacts

4.1 Environmental Assessment Methodology

One purpose of this report is to examine the potential impacts of the project on the biophysical andsocio-economic environments. For the purposes of the assessment, the following categories ofimpacts have been developed7:

i. NO IMPACT: The potential impact of the project is assessed as NO IMPACT if the projectactivity is physically removed in space or time from the environmental component, or if theimpact is so small as to be un-measurable (i.e. negligible).

ii. MAJOR IMPACT - POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE: An impact is said to be MAJOR if the projecthas the potential to affect an environmental component. The following criteria were used todetermine 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 theproject activities (small, moderate, large);

d) importance to local human populations;e) compliance with national, provincial, or district environmental protection laws,

standards, and regulationsa;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 inEndangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES); and

g) compliance with World Bank guidelines, policies, and regulations9.

iii. MITIGABLE IMPACT: The potential impact of the project on an environmental component issaid to be MITIGABLE if there is potential for a major negative impact to occur but there is aproposed mitigation measure that will prevent the impact or reduce the impact to acceptablelevels.

iv. MINOR IMPACT - POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE: If an impact occurs but does not meet thecriteria for a Major Impact it is assigned the category MINOR.

v. UNKNOWN IMPACT: The potential impact of the project will be assessed as beingUNKNOWN if the magnitude of the effect can not be predicted for any of the followingreasons:

a) the nature and location of the project activity is uncertain;

b) the occurrence of the environmental component within the study area is uncertain;

c) the time scale of the effect is unknown; or

d) the spatial scale over which the effect may occur is unknown.

The potential impacts of each phase of the project have been evaluated and the results documentedin Section 4.2.

Note that the categorization of impacts is singular to this environmental assessment and involvesconsideration of the relative scale of the impacts associated with this project. Direct comparisonsshould not be made between the level of impact assigned in this assessment and those inenvironmental assessments undertaken for other projects.

7These categories have been applied to other EVN projects and have been adapted from ADB, 1997. Environmental Impact

Assessment in Developing Cozzntries.

6 Environmental Management Plan

Sections 6.1 to 6.6 provide details of the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for the pre-

construction, construction and operation phases of the project. The key components of the EMP are

as follows:

* Environmental Mitigation Plan: sets out in detail the environmental management measures that

will be implemented during pre-construction, construction and operation of the project. The action

plan contains details of environmental mitigation measures, environmental objectives, roles andresponsibilities for implementation of mitigation measures and costs and timing of mitigationmeasures.

* Environmental Monitoring: sets out the proposed monitoring programme for the projectincluding monitoring parameters, methods, frequency, responsibilities and costs.

* Capacity Building: details the proposed actions that wili contribute to capacity building withinEVN and other stakeholder organisations during the implementation of the EMP.

* Institutional Arrangements: provides a discussion on the arrangements for the implementationof the various components of the EMP.

* Cost Estimate and Funding Mechanisms: provides a cost estimate for the implementation of all

activities associated with the EMP.

The EMP will provide the basis for the Site Environmental Management Plan (SEMP) to be developedby the contractor.

6.1 Environmental Mitigation Plan

Table 6.1 contains the environmental mitigation plan for the project, which has been developed basedon the assessment contained in Table 4.1. Mitigation measures are provided for all "MINORNEGATIVE" and 'MITIGABLE" impacts. Where relevant, measures to enhance the positive benefits of

the project have also been developed

The mitigation measures will be incorporated in appropriate contract management documents (e.g.bidding documents, general conditions of contract, contractor specifications, method statements) to

enable PMU to have significant authority over their implementation.

The technical supervisors of PMU and the CPC will also report monthly to the PMU duringconstruction of the project.

In terms of the CPC reporting, the commune-level reporting process needs to be simple, consistentbetween communes, and accountable. To achieve these needs, the process should have thefollowing characteristics:

* Data Sources: There are two kinds of data sources: 1) Regular monitoring of environmentalimpacts and effectiveness of mitigation measures and based largely on visual inspections by anauthorised data collector (see below); and 2) Opportunistic monitoring based on complaints/comments from local community to Commune PC or other bodies.

* Data Collector: Commune People's Committee member or appointee in each Project commune(e.g. Women's Union, individuals with environmental interests). The data collector would be trainedin environmental monitoring during the regional workshop (refer Section 6.4).

* Data Reporting Process: The monitoring form will be completed by the data collector every threemonths and submitted to PC3. Data collector may provide additional information (photographs,letters, etc) as they see fit.

An example data collection form is provided in the below text box.

11:00 to 14:00 is when hospital staff and patients are resting, so they need quiet during this time.

* More care should be taken to clean up construction camps.* Contractor should make sure to keep piles of dirt in designated working areas.* More safety equipment and training programmes should be given to construction workers to reduce

accidents.. especially for the local workers because they don't know much about worker safety.

A Safeguard Independent Monitoring Consultant (SIMC) will be engaged by PC3 to monitor the

project during the construction phase. The SIMC will report to the World Bank every six months. An

example Terms of Reference for the SIMC during the construction period is provided in the text box

below.

EXAMPLE ENVIRONMENTAL TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR SIMC

The Safeguard Independent Monitoring Consultant will:

1. Visually look at the construction sites and make notes related to the following environmentalissues, but not limited to:. General clean up after construction works.. Excessive clear cutting of trees beyond ROW in communal or forest land.. Measures taken by the contractor for cleaning up woody residues after tree cutting.. Status of access roads (have they been closed if in a protected area, are they still being used

and to what extent, how are they being controlled/managed and by whom). Application ofmitigation measures for or sign of soil erosion along T/L due to tree cutting and/or aroundtower foundation.

. Status of re-vegetation in the ROWs and tower foundation.

. Impacts on construction works (level of noise, dust, and damage to roads due to earthworksand transportation of building materials).

. Status of construction worker camps and sanitation facilities for them.

. Proper distance between the houses and T/L.. Status of implementation of safety measures (signboards, restricted zone, fences, isolation

etc.).

2. Conduct public consultation to:. Assess the level of involvement by the local authorities in dealing with environmental issues

(dust, noise, and damage to roads due to the transport of construction materials, tree cuttingon public lands and protected areas).

. Identify any other environmental issues and record environmental complaints from the PAHs.

. Report on responses (if any) from appropriate local authorities on environmental complaintsor non-compliance.

PMU will then report quarterly to the project owner during construction (EVN for MV lines and the

province for LV lines) and the project owner will report to the World Bank quarterly. The approach to

this environmental reporting will be to include a section called 'Environmental Management Plan" into

regular quarterly project reports to EVN and WB.20 The Environmental Management Plan section will

address: 1) issues relating to the effectiveness of environmental mitigation measures being carried

out and any required modifications; 2) environmental monitoring results collected during the quarter;

and 3) issues to be addressed in the forthcoming quarter. The environmental information used to write

this section of the quarterly reports will be based on the monitoring reports prepared by the safeguard

independent monitoring consultant, the construction contractor, and the communes.

During operation, the PPS and the District Joint Stock Power Company will report on environmental

monitoring and safety issues to PC3 and the province respectively. PC3 will then report annually to

EVN, and EVN will report annually to the World Bank.

6.4 Capacity Building

As part of the implementation of the EMP for the project, opportunities to carry out capacity building

activities within EVN and other project stakeholders will be maximised. Given that environmental

management is a relatively new task for the electricity sector within Vietnam, the project provides an

opportunity to carry out such activities for the benefit of this and future projects. To date, the following

capacity building activities have been carried out:

August 2003: Hands-on learning-by doing training for improving environmental reports. Local and

international consultants worked with PC3 staff to improve draft EIA and EMP reports.

20 The Environmental Management Plan section will also be forwarded to DoNRE for their review.


September 2003: Hands-on workshop for environmental assessment of transmission anddistribution projects. International and national environmental specialists lead PC3 staff and otherparticipants on a field trip to test new tools for environmental assessment, held group workactivities on challenges and opportunities to improve environmental assessment, and heldlectures on WB safeguard policies and GOV environmental requirements for the Project.

Future capacity building activities that will be undertaken include:

. PMU will host a regional EMP training course for the district's participating communes. Thecourse participants will include at least one representative from each commune included in theproject. The purpose of the course will be to train participants to observe and report onenvironmental issues, understand their roles and responsibilities and suggest corrective actionsfor improvement. The topics covered will include:

o basic operation of the power system for the safety of the users of the electricity;

o roles of various stakeholders related to project environmental management activitiesincluding discussion of commune-level involvement;

o relevant environmental management and monitoring activities during the construction andoperation of the project including maintenance of the ROW; and

o emergency and accident response measures to be implemented in the case of fire,electric shocks or other incidents.

• The local Power Department will attend a training course for environmental management duringoperations phase.

6.6 Cost Estimate and Funding Mechanisms

This section estimates the marginal costs for conducting the EMP's main sub-components: mitigation,

monitoring, and capacity building. Costs that are incurred by other project components but satisfy

some aspects of the EMP are not included in this section.21

The marginal cost of the EMP can be broken down as follows: Pre-construction: USD 2,962

equivalent (USD 40/commune); Construction: USD 17,628 equivalent (USD 238/commune);Operation USD 6,602 equivalent per year (USD 89/commune/year).22 Further details of marginal

7 Conclusions

The REII Project in Quang Ngai Province is being implemented to improve the living conditions in 74communes across seven districts by improving access to and security of electricity supply. The projectwill benefit 157,123 households, including 7,720 households that will receive access to electricity forthe first time as a result of the project. The economic benefits of the project are expected to beconsiderable with a FIRR of 12% and an EIRR of 38.5%.

The project activities will involve upgrading and minor extension of the existing medium and lowvoltage electricity networks throughout the 74 communes involved in the project. The majority ofworks will be carried out within existing ROWs and disturbed areas, with minimal requirement forclearing or disturbance of land.

The environmental impacts of the project have been assessed (refer Section 4), and the results aresummarised in Table 4.1. The assessment concluded that the impacts caused by the project on thebiophysical and socio-economic environments could be adequately mitigated through theimplementation of a range of mitigation measures that are described in the EMP in Section 6.Furthermore, the assessment concluded that the major positive social benefits of the project willoutweigh the residual adverse impacts that will result.

CODE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

Ji Use main roads and/or roads located away from residential areasJ2 Use water sprays on roads and piles of dirtJ3 Avoid night works in sensitive areasJ4 Avoid use of horns, airbrakes, etc.J5 Construction equipment should meet relevant TCVN noise and air quality standardsJ6 Cover materials during transportKi Work with Provincial Power Department to make sure relevant parts of system are turned offK2 Workers need to wear safety clothes and work with approved safety toolsLl Solid waste stream carefully controlled. This includes collection, separation of recyclable/non-recyclable waste,

burning of wastes, and disposal in approved location.L2 No fires allowed near natural forestsL3 Adequate sewage facilities (latrines) for workersMl Hire local people whenever possibleM2 Work with People's Committees and relevant unions to identify and propose i) measures to minimise impacts

from social evils, ii) locations for worker camps; iii) develop and implement any necessary public educationprogrammes for local people and workers.

M3 Maintain relations with PC and unions during constructionM4 After construction, remove and rehabilitate worker camp areasNi Minimise health and safety problems at worker camps (provide mosquito nets, sanitation facilities, adequate

sleeping accommodation, nutritious food, etc).N2 Ensure adequate safety equipment and safety training for construction workersN3 Ensure access to adequate medical facilities for construction workers01 Application of proper safety and warning measures02 Public information campaign

Operation Stage Mitigation MeasuresP1 Positive impact - mitigation measure not requiredQ1 Align route to avoid forested areas. If forested areas must be traversed, work with local authorities to replant

trees/develop forest elsewhere.Rl Avoid creating permanent access roads near wildlands. If temporary access roads must be created, then

decommission those roads after construction.Si Support public education programme on hazards and safety measures for electricity management - both in the

home and near transmission/distribution structuresS2 Provide training to selected commune residents on electrical safetyS3 Ensure regular operations maintenance of project structuresTi Ensure project structures are not located in areas where airplanes or migratory birds could collide into

transmission/distribution towers or linesU 1 Avoid night works in sensitive areasU2 Vehicles and equipment should meet relevant TCVN noise and air quality standardsVi Ensure no houses in the ROWWi Develop and implement a maintenance plan for transmission and distribution structures. This plan should:

1) clearly identify petroleum, hazardous wastes, and solid wastes that will be created during operations; and2) provide measures to minimise the impacts of these wastes (e.g. filling transformer oil at provincial branchoffice, dumping solid waste in local landfill, etc).
