IV. COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENT RELATED PROJECT COVENANTS

A. Progress of Environment Related Documents

29. Updated environmental management plan (UEMP): Till January 2020, the UEMPs that

been completed and there are no objections from ADB for the works upgrade and renovation of

roads are of PR.686 and PR.681 (Dak Nong subproject) (18/3/2019), PR.756 (Binh Phuoc)

(24/6/2019), PR.675A (Kon Tum) (10/9/2019), NR.29 (Dak Lak) (03/01/2020). UEMP draft of

provincial road 665 are being made and submitted to ADB in December 2019.

30. Demonstrating the commitment to the Loan Agreement, the People's Committee of Kon

Tum province has Document No. 2152/UBND-KTTH dated on 19/08/2019 sent to the ADB on the

commitment to implement the safeguards requirements in Loan Agreement, namely to ensure the

establishment of a natural protection forest band along the PR.675A as specified in UEMP. After

ADB's consideration, on 10/9/2019, ADB has no objection opinion on the UEMP for the subproject

Upgrading provincial road 675A. People's Committee of Kon Tum province has also issued

approval of the UEMP (Decision No.1236/QĐ-UBND dated 04/11/2019) to implement the

Subproject as planned.

31. Thus, the 04 subprojects with the UEMP has ADB's no objections have prepared the

environmental and safety requirements in the BD for construction and the draft contract as

conditions for contractors to implement the commitments and obligations with the Project Owner

and with the donor. PR.665 in Gia Lai soon when there is no objection for the UEMP, PMU will

conduct incorporating the requirements of UEMP and IEE in BD for the construction and

installation of road works will be submitted to ADB consider no objection to the content as well as

in terms of the construction contract.

32. In the future, construction supervision consultant will be provided with the UEMP to monitor

environmental implementation process of the contractors.

construction contractors will have to prepare Site EMP of contractor (SEMP/CEMP) with the

support of the ESS to submit to PMU for approval at least 10 days before commencement. The

objectives of the SEMP are that the contractor aware of environmental issues and mitigation

measures from the environmental documents; aware of the regulations, policies and environmental

standards of the Government and donor; proposing and committing to implement the specific

measures appropriate to the specific site conditions to allocate budget and resources for

implementation; ensure reporting regime and internal monitoring. PMU will require the winning

bidder to prepare SEMP immediately after signing the contract with the contractor to ensure the

commence date.

VII. ENVIRONMENTAL AFFECT MONITORING

A. Monitoring Plan and Responsibilities

1. Compliance monitoring

42. For road subprojects, at pre-construction phase, PMU with the support from ESS will

prepare all environmental protection compliance certificates under Vietnam’s regulations as guided

through Law on Environmental Protection 2014. CSC and ESS will also need to confirm that

Contractors and their suppliers have complied with all statutory requirements for permits from

DONRE and provincial authorities. CSC and ESS will check that Contractors have all the

necessary valid licenses and permits in line with all environmental regulations.

43. At construction phase, CSC will be required to monitor the construction activities on daily

basis and monitor preparing CEMP based on the approved UEMP. They will ensure that the

contractors comply with all environmental regulations as specified in the Subproject EMP if

applicable. The PMU will provide logistical support to the PISC/ESS and CSC where necessary for

the implementation of environmental monitoring plan.

44. After construction is completed and the upgraded access road and tracks are in operation,

the provincial DOT will be in charge of EMP implementation in the operation phase such as

monitor the accidents along the Subproject road, impacts of vehicles to the route... for

implementation of road safety improvement measures. The natural environment along the road

should be monitored by DONRE.

45. The road and tourism subprojects are classified as B or C environment (no large impacts).

Thus, should not require the involvement of an independent monitoring unit.

2. Environmental quality monitoring

46. The date of the report, all Subprojects have not recruited the unit to perform environmental

quality monitoring of road subprojects nor performed any monitoring sessions. Later when a formal

decision is made, the monitoring unit shall conduct sampling 1 times before construction at the

location identified in the UEMP. During construction, the quarterly quality monitoring will be

conducted at the same location as pre-construction. Additional sampling may be required as

necessary to examine the complaints or the investigation of environmental contamination by

subproject. DOT will be responsible for monitoring air quality in the first 2 years of route operation

stage, primarily through sensory observation.

VIII. PUBLIC CONSULTATION, GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISMS

A. Complaints and Grievances

47. PMUs have developed a compensation and settlement mechanism to resolve complaints,

handle complaints and feedback regarding EMP implementation for the project in general. Every

effort is made to establish a relationship between affected communities and implementing

agencies through regular and transparency interaction. Therefore, maximizing the resolution of

complaints at the commune level, a process of three proposed stages of grievance resolution is

based on the subprojects as follows:

• Stage 1: Complaints from affected people on any environmental damage caused by the project implementation will be lodged verbally or in written form by the affected people. The staff from Commune/Commune Supervision Board will assess the level of environmental damage and report to the PMU within 15 days of the receipt of the complaint.

• Stage 2: If no resolution can be reached or if no response is received from the liaison officer within 15 days of registering the complaint, the affected people can take their complaint to relevant District People Committee who will conduct a site investigation to assess the damage and discuss with a contractor during the construction stage to determine and immediately take the appropriate remedial measures within 30 days of the receipt of the complaint.

• Stage 3: If the affected people are not satisfied with the decision of the District People Committee or in the absence of any response, the affected people can appeal to Provincial People’s Committee (PPC). PPC will provide a decision on the appeal within 45 days but not exceeding 60 days1 from the day it is received by the PPC. In this stage, PPC will enforce PMU to take the strong corrective action to resolve the problems either though enforcement of contractor’s duties under the signed contract or providing necessary additional actions under its overall duties of project implementation.

• If efforts to resolve disputes using the grievance procedures remain unresolved or unsatisfactory, APs have the right to directly discuss their concerns or problems with the ADB Southeast Asia Department through the ADB Viet Nam Resident Mission (VRM). If

1 Law on Complaints, Article 28, Law No. 02/2011/QH13 dated November 11, 2011


29

APs are still not satisfied with the responses of VRM, they can directly contact the ADB Office of the Special Project Facilitator (OSPF).

• A complaint or a case in the Court of Law may be filed separately or independently from the Project level Grievance Redress Mechanism filing process. Implementers of the mechanism should be guided by appropriate government decrees related to complaints such as: Law on Complaints No. 02/2011/QH13; Article 64 of Government Decree 84/2007/ND-CP; Clause 2, Article 40 of Decree 69/2009; and regulation on grievance at Government Decree 75/2012/ND-CP dated 20/11/2012.

48. Up to now, although the grievance resolution mechanisms have been established, the unit

responsible for stage 1 is only completing: Commune Supervision Boards have already existed in

all communes of the projects but only in Kon Tum subproject (Ia Dal, Ia Toi communes), Dak Lak

subproject (Pong Drang, Ea Ngai, Cu Pong, Ea Kueh, Ea Kiet, Ea Tar, Cu Dlie M'nong, Krong Na,

Hoa Son, An Lac communes/wards) that the CSC have been consolidated for the project only and

met the Project's requirements on female members. The establishment of CSC shall be

consolidated in the remaining.

49. The grievance resolution mechanisms have been disclosed to the public during public

consultations in detailed design and shall be introduced again at consultations during construction

phase.

50. During the reporting period, no complaints were reported, nor any complaint are pending for

resolve at the 5 subprojects.

B. Community Consultation

51. Public consultation and resident participation are key factors to achieve the objectives of

safeguards policy. ADB's current policies have different consultation requirements, all emphasizes

the need of consultation prior project implementation and provide information to affected people

and communities and ongoing consultations during project implementation to identify and

contribute to resolve safeguards issues that may arise. Meaningful consultation is a process (i)

begins early in the project preparation stage and is carried out on an ongoing basis throughout the

project cycle; (ii) provides timely disclosure of relevant and adequate information that is

understandable and readily accessible to affected people; (iii) is undertaken in an atmosphere free

of intimidation or coercion; (iv) is gender inclusive and responsive, and tailored to the needs of

disadvantaged and vulnerable groups; and (v) enables the incorporation of all relevant views of

affected people and other stakeholders into decision making, such as project design, mitigation

measures, the sharing of development benefits and opportunities, and implementation issues.

52. Related to environmental aspect in safeguards, UEMP also updates a public consultation

plan for road subprojects in the construction phase and the operation phase. At present time of the

report, the route was not put into the construction phase, there were some activities of public

consultation has taken place in detailed design phase of roads, particularly for PR.675A in January

and March 2018, PR.665 in February and March 2019, NR.29 in May 2019, PR.686 and PR.681 in

December 2017 and March and April 2018, PR.756 in October 2017.

XI. KEY ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

61. Through the monitoring activity, a few issues in environment implementation in the

subprojects have been identified, mainly related to preparation of bidding documents lacking few

clauses requested by the Loan Agreement and by UEMP. The other issue is organization and

management of materials and construction sites. The report gave recommendations for PMUs to

have actions correcting these issues (such as ensuring supplementing some clauses to

construction contracts, regularly checking and reminding the construction contractors):

XII. CONCLUSION

A. Overall Progress of Implementation of Environmental Management Measures

62. The internal environmental monitoring report has been built regularly in pre-construction

phase. All the preparatory activities to ensure the environmental protection during the preparation

phase of construction are underway and proceeding to the construction phase. All UEMP of road

subproject were approved except for PR.665. SEMP is not to implementation period. Capacity-

building programs, raising awareness about the environment have been carried out. Environmental

monitoring has not been taken place.

63. On construction sites, there are some non-compliance found. At the construction site of the

construction package for 02 tourism villages in Kon Tum, the contractor has implemented required

management measures and minimized environmental impacts, but the results have not been met

as required as: Unreasonable construction materials, not ensuring the safety of vehicles

participating in traffic and environmental sanitation. PMU, Supervision Consultants have worked

with contractors on the above content. Similarly, BP-Cw-04 contractor was required to cover/fence

the manhole to ensure human safety and environmental sanitation at construction site.
