1. INTRODUCTION

The subproject: “Dong Anh 220kV Substation” is one of the subprojects that will be

implemented in Phase I of the Transmission Efficiency Project (TEP) funded by the World

Bank. The subproject will be implemented in Lien Ha and Thuy Lam communes of Dong

Anh district, Hanoi city. The implementation of the subproject is in line with the City Power

Development Master Plan (CPDMP) to meet the growing electricity demand load and power

system in the Northeast area of Hanoi city.

The activities of subproject include construction of a new 220kV substation and

construction of 1,453m of 22kV power line supplying auxiliary power for the substation.

These activities may cause negative impacts on the local environment and communities

during pre-construction, construction, and operation phases.

To ensure the potential negative impacts are identified and mitigated during the

subproject implementation and in compliance with the policy on environmental assessment of

the World Bank (OP/BP 4.01), an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) of the subproject

has been prepared in accordance with the guidelines provided in the Environmental and

Social Management Framework (ESMF) of the TEP project. The EMP includes the following

contents: an introduction, the main legal framework, the subproject description, the

environmental background, potential positive and negative impacts, proposed mitigation

measures, and implementation arrangements. It also includes an Environmental Codes of

Practice (ECOP) prepared for the subproject. The EMP will be incorporated into the bidding

documents and construction contracts, as well as a scope for environment quality monitoring.

A Resettlement Plan (RP) has also been prepared for the subproject and presented separately.

2.2. World Bank Safeguard Policies

An environmental and social screening of the subproject was undertaken in line with

the OP 4.01 and it showed that the World Bank’s policies on Environmental Assessment

(OP/BP 4.01), and Involuntary Resettlement (OP/BP 4.12) will be triggered for the

subproject. The screening has also resulted in categorizing the subproject as a Category B

project. In addition, the Bank’s requirements on public consultation and information

disclosure will need to be followed.

Environmental Assessment (OP/BP 4.01):

Environmental Assessment (EA) is an umbrella policy for the Bank’s safeguard

policies. The overarching objective is to ensure that Bank-financed projects are

environmentally sound and sustainable, and that decision-making is improved through

appropriate analysis of actions and of their likely environmental impacts. The EA process is

intended to identify, avoid and mitigate potential impacts of Bank operations. EA takes into

account the natural environment (air, water, and land); human health and safety; social

aspects (involuntary resettlement, indigenous peoples, and physical cultural resources); and

transboundary and global environmental aspects. EA considers natural and social aspects in

an integrated way.

This subproject triggers OP 4.01 because it involves the construction and operation of

a high-voltage substation and connecting overhead transmission lines, requiring the

identification, mitigation and monitoring of potential adverse environmental and social

impacts. As required by OP 4.01, the subproject prepared an EIA and an EMP that meet the

Government’s and the World Bank’s safeguards requirements. By the TEP appraisal, the

subproject draft EIA and EMP were disclosed locally at the project site and the Bank’s

InfoShop in Washington DC on January 24, 2014 as required by OP 4.01 and the Bank’s

policy on access to information. The final EIA and EMP were disclosed locally at the

subproject sites, at the InforShop, and the Vietnam Development Information Center on April

18, 2014.

Involuntary Resettlement (OP/BP 4.12)

The Involuntary Resettlement policy seeks to prevent severe long-term hardship,

impoverishment, and environmental damage to the affected peoples during involuntary

resettlement. OP 4.12 applies whether or not affected persons must move to another location.

The Bank describes all these processes and outcomes as “involuntary resettlement,” or simply

resettlement, even when people are not forced to move. Resettlement is involuntary when the

government has the right to expropriate land or other assets and when affected people do not

have the option to retain the livelihood situation that they have.

This policy is triggered because the subproject it would have impacts involving the

temporary and permanent involuntary taking of land and the loss of structures and assets

associated with the land for the construction of the substation and the associated connecting

line. By appraisal, the subproject has prepared and disclose the raft RP locally at the project

site and the Bank’s InfoShop in Washington DC on January 24, 2014. The RP includes the

measures to ensure that displaced people are: (i) informed about the options regarding

resettlement; (ii) consulted and offered alternative resettlement choices; and (iii) provided

with effective compensation and livelihood restoration. The final RP was disclosed locally at

the subproject sites, at the InforShop, and the Vietnam Development Information Center on

April 18, 2014.

World Bank Group Environmental, Health, and Safety Guidelines



World Bank-financed projects should also take into account the World Bank Group

Environmental, Health, and Safety Guidelines1 (known as the "EHS Guidelines"). The EHS

Guidelines are technical reference documents with general and industry-specific examples of

Good International Industry Practice.

The EHS Guidelines contain the performance levels and measures that are normally

acceptable to the World Bank Group and are generally considered to be achievable in new

facilities at reasonable costs by existing technology. The environmental assessment process

may recommend alternative (higher or lower) levels or measures, which, if acceptable to the

World Bank, become project- or site-specific requirements.

This subproject should conform the Environmental, Health, and Safety Guidelines for

Electric Power Transmission and Distribution and the General EHS Guidelines.

4. BASELINE DATA

4.1. Geographical Location and Population

The 220kV substation subproject will be located on the paddy rice land area

belonging to the communes of Thuy Lam and Lien Ha, Dong Anh district, Hanoi city. Dong

Anh district is the gateway to the west of Hanoi with a total natural land area of 18,230 ha,

divided into 23 administrative communes and 1 town including 156 villages and 62 wards,

and with a population of about 331,000 people.

Dong Anh district has favorable natural conditions for economic and social

development, and significant transportation advantages facilitating good and trade exchange

between Hanoi and the north eastern provinces. The district administratively borders Soc Son

district to the north; Bac Ninh province and Gia Lam district to the East; Hong River to the

south; and Vinh Phuc province on the west.

4.2. Topography and Geology

Topography

As mentioned above 220kV Dong Anh is proposed to be located on paddy field so

geomorphologic terrain on the region is rather flat, it belongs to accumulation plain terrain

type. Topographical grade: Topography of III grade.

Geology

Geology in the region comprises of soil layer: Clay, blended clay, originated from

quaternary formation.

Physo-geological phenomena

Earthquakes

According to earthquake zoning map in Vietnam created by the Geo-physics Institute

under National Technology and Natural Science in 1995, it is found that in the proposed site

for substation, the earthquake up to grade 7 may occur.

Substation is located on river/marine sedimentation terrain, engineering geological

condition is rather complicated. The phenomena can occur, such as sliding to foundation

wall, swampy in shallow field. Suitable solution shall be applied to foundation to ensure

long-term stability.

4.3. Hydro- Meteorological Characteristics

Meteorology

Dong Anh 220kV Substation is located entirely in an area affected by climate and

hydrological regime of Hong and Ca Lo river basin, which basically belongs to the tropical

climate region with cold winter and hot humid summer heavy rain.

The average wind speed in the area is about 2.1m/s with the prevailing west,

southeast, and east directions from April to September and north and northwest directions

from October to March.

The yearly average temperature is 23.6oC. Maximum temperature is up to 42.8

oC, and

often occurs in May and lowest temperature is 2.7oC, and often occurs in January.

The yearly average humidity is about 82%, with the highest level of 100%, and the

lowest possible level of below 16%.



The annual average rainfall in the region is relatively high reaching 1611 mm. The

rainy season begins in May and ends in October. The average number of rainy days in a year

are about 152.1 days. The number of average thunderstorms per year at the substation site is

58.6 days.

In order to determine the lighting region partition in the area of the 22kV transmission

line supplying electricity to the station, using the lightning observation data of Lang station.

thunderstorms could occur any day, month in year but mostly in the summer especially in the

afternoon from 13h to evening, maximum thunderstorm month is from May to September

coincide with high rainfall; time occur thunderstorm is 1 – 2h, having thunder.

From November to March is period of monsoon activity, there is little thus

thunderstorm in the period, about 2 – 3 days per month.

Hydrology:

The flow regime of the Red River system is divided into two distinct seasons, dry

season and flood season. The dry season lasts from November to May next year. The total

volume of water in the dry season accounts for 20 – 30% of the annual flow. The driest time

occurs in January, February, and March with a total water volume of about 3.6 – 5.8% of the

annual flow. The flood season starts from June to October. The total water volume in flood

season accounts for 70 – 80%. August is the month with the largest flow accounting for 19 –

23% of the total annual flow.

The river and stream water levels seasonally affect the substation site, resulting in dry

rice fields during the dry season. In the flood season (rainy season), the infield rain and heavy

flood in the rivers cause flooding in the fields, especially in the July, August, and September.

A historical rain in August 1971 in the Red River area and a heavy rain happened in October

– November 2008 caused flooding in many parts in Ha Noi. However, Dong Anh 500kV

substation and the connecting line will be constructed on elevated land sites of Lien Ha and

Thuy Lam communes, thus would only affected by flooding by rain. The flooding level is

from 0.3 – 0.7m and lasts for a few days.

4.4. Land use

Dong Anh district has the natural land area of 18,230 ha, including agricultural land of

10,015 ha, making up 54.76%; the remainder is of specialized land, urban, unused and

forestry land.

4.5. Environmental baseline data

Quality of air, noise and vibration

Air quality in the district is very different areas. However, the project is located in

arable agricultural land, population density and traffic are not high. Overall, air quality in the

project region have not contaminated, thus the health of people living the region is insured,

all of criterias (CO, SO2, CO, noise, and vibration) are in the allowable limit of National

Technical Standard.

Water quality

Surface water sources in the region is diversity on population level. Water quality is

quite good in the Red rivers but it is polluted in main river Nhue river, Kim Nguu river…

which is playing the role of the region sewerage. In general, water and underground quality in

the project is quite good, through evaluating the analysis result of water sample in and

adjacent the project and compared with the national standards found that most the criteria are

located in allowable limit, only Coliforms and Fe are higher than allowable standard.

Therefore, to meet domestic use purposes, underground water should be treated to reject

metal before using in domestic purposes.

Soil quality

Most of the heavy metals in soil at the survey area have lower value and within the

allowable limits. Soil in the project area is agricultural land to plant rice, this proved that soil

quality at the project is quite good, not polluted by heavy metal.

Location of the subproject is in an open area, air is very clean. There are no industrial,

handicraft activities in the area. There is no observed pollution in term of water, air and soil.

People are living in surrounding area of the subproject site. Main land use pattern in the

site is rice field. No forest is presented in the area. There are no wild animals in the

subproject area, except for such species as small frog, mouse, small snakes and intersects.

4.6. Socio-economic status of the project area

Dong Anh district has an advanced economic growth rate, which has 17.4% for many

years. Commercial and service activities are increasingly developing towards a modern

civilized society. Many new areas are formed such as Thang Long industrial and Nguyen Khe

industrial zones that have contributed to the creation of nearly 50.000 jobs for local labors.

The agricultural sector continues to be a strong investment area and interest of the

district, with high level of total investment. Restructuring plants and animals having high

economic value has been a focus. The poverty rate reduces by 2%.

The district focuses on the development of culture, especially social goals of

education. In recent years, the district maintains the right scale of education, quality of key

and comprehensive education of the district are maintained, striving to maintain universal

http://www.donganh.hanoi.gov.vn/



primary education, secondary and high schools (reached 90-95%), 100% of teachers at all

levels reached standards.

Public health, family population and children are of attention of the authority,

especially on building national standard communal health with 100% of communes having

medical doctors.

4.7. Protected areas, natural reserves, sensitive areas, cultural property, historical

monument, temple and pagoda in the project area.

The project is located in an area of agricultural land. There are no any natural reserve

area, sensitive area, cultural property, historical monument, temple and pagoda in the project

area. The district has no natural reserve areas, national parks. In the the Thuy Lam

commune, has “Sai” temple is 5km far from the subproject.

5. POTENTIAL IMPACTS

The subproject would contribute to meeting the demand load and power safety in Hanoi

city and thereby bring about significant socioeconomic benefit. Apart from such benefits, the

subproject may also result in environmental and socioeconomic impacts which are adverse to

the local conditions.

The environmental screening of the subproject indincates that it is eligible for financing

considering that the subproject would not involve possible high risk and would not create

potential adverse impacts on (a) critical natural habitats and/or protected area including

proposed protected areas; (b) loss or damage to cultural property, including sites having

archeological (prehistoric), paleontological, historical, religious, cultural and unique natural

values, graves and graveyards; (c) water regime, particularly water flow and water quality;

and (d) local traffic.

The implementation of the subproject would mainly cause land acquisition, increased

dust generation, air pollution, domestic waste, and health and safety issues due to

construction activites and electrical magnetic field. However, these impacts are not

significant, temporary, localized impacts with available mitigation measures. Only OP 4.01

and OP 4.12 are triggered for this subproject.

The potential negative impacts of the subproject are identified in table 5.1 and could be

minimized by applying the proposed mitigation measures developed for the subproject which

is described in Table 6.1 of Section 6.

Medium Short-term

and

Long-term

- The substation and connection line would be located in the rice fields of 110 households

of Thuy Lam commune and Lien Ha commune, Dong Anh district, Hanoi city. Of these,

16 affected households belong to Thuy Lam commune. The number of affected household

in Lien Ha commune are expected about 94 households (according to the Resettlement

Plan report, PECC1, 2013), households would lose their land permanently.

- 47,953.71m2

of agricultural land would be permanently acquired. This land is located in

communes of Thuy Lam and Lien Ha.

- No household would need to be relocated because of the subprojects.

- Land acquisition would have adverse impacts on income and livelihood of the affected

households. Impacts of land acquisition are described in detail in the subproject

Resettlement Plan, PECC1, 2013).

- In addition, 120 m2 of inter-field concrete irrigation ditch, 1120 m

2 of inner-communal

concrete road and 625.67 m2 of inner-commune earth road land are also permanently

affected. This would pose some difficulties for agricultural activities at the rice field and

Long term

- Ground for substation and connection line is used to be rice fields. This area is rice

cultivate land of Bieu Khe and Ha Phong’s village households of Thuy Lam and Lien Ha

communes. Vegetation near the subproject comprises grass and shrubs at the time of

survey (June, 2013) this area has been harvesting.

Erosion or

sediment

generation caused

by earthworks

Medium Short-term - Project areas have flat, not through rivers and streams

- The earthworks of the project include:

+ Digging foundation holes: 15,942.06 m3

soil.

+ Backfilling foundation holes: 113,218.69 m3

sand and 10,262.78 m3 soil. (according

to adjusted FS of the 220kV Dong Anh substation)

- Activities of construction and excavation only happen in a short time at

foundation holes and are prioritized to be done in dry season.

- The project will apply successive construction method. Therefore, risk of soil erosion is at

low level, so there is no risk of erosion, landslides.

Air pollution and

dust generation

Medium Short – term - Exhaust gases such as SOx, NOx, CO from the operating transportation vehicles and

power generators would have potential impacts of degrading air quality in the subproject

area and the health of workers and local communities.

- Dust is generated from soil excavation and substation site leveling work, especially in dry

season. The affected people will be the workers and the inhabitants around the project

area.




of impact

Duration of


- Dust is also generated by means of transport of materials and plants during the

construction of the subproject. The affected people will be road users and local

communities along the route of construction material transportation on the National road

No.3 especially entering road to substation (Lien Ha – Thuy Lam inter-commune road).

- Given the small number of vehicles mobilized for the subproject, short time of

construction, and far location of the Bieu Khe village residential area (about 200m), the

impact of air and dust pollution on workers and communities can be assessed as medium

and can be mitigated.

Noise and

vibration

Small Short-term - Operation of transportation vehicles, site grading and piling machines, and power

generators can cause noise and vibration affecting households along the national No.3

especially along Lien Ha – Thuy Lam inter-commune road and at subproject construction

sites. However, this impact is small because it the related activities would only occur

during the construction phase and can be easily mitigated.

Contamination of

water and soil by

hazardous waste

Medium Short-term - Oil spill from vehicles and construction machines can affect quality of soil and water,

especially in rainy season. This leakage oil can affect surrounding area by run off

rainwater.

- Transformer oil or oil having PCBs might also be leakage to the environment due to

accidents. However, oil having PCBs to be used at substation are prohibited by the

national regulation.

- The operation of the substation will use some chemicals available in such equipment as

battery, insulating oil, grease oil and etc., but in small quantities.

Medium Short-term

to medium

term

- Discharging of construction waste and domestic waste can make adverse effects to

environment quality.

- Excavation is planned to do in dry season. Excess soil will be reused to fill in the poles’

foundation. Thus there will be no soil, sand left after the subproject implementation.

- During construction stage, construction waste will be collected, sold and discharge

domestic waste appropriately (backfilling). Domestic waste will be collected or treated in on-site

treatment system. However, it is necessary to implement a efficient management plan to

ensure all of wastes are colleted and treated obey the regulation.

Public health and

safety effects

from construction

camps, materials

storehouse and

ground

Medium Short-term

to medium

term

- There are some storehouses and grounds need to be built temporary in order to contain

materials and equipments. Construction camp will be built for workers.

- Construction camp and materials storehouses can affect the health and safety of local

inhabitants and workers by unsafe keeping of construction materials and equipments and

the conflict between workers and local inhabitants especially residents in Thuy Lam and

Lien Ha communes.

- Workers will be from the locality; the construction camp will include rest room and

arranged in substation area; all of construction equipments and materials will be placed in

appropriate places which are fenced around. Therefore, the conflict between workers and

local inhabitant’s and impacts on public health and safety are at low level.

Arising conflicts

between

construction

workers and local

residents.

Small Short-term - Focusing large number workers of construction activities (150 people in maximum) shall

cause a risk in conflict between the worker and the local residents. The subproject

implementation is expected to be completed in short period about 12 months. However,

the contractors will mainly use local workers for jobs suitable and worker will be chosen

from the skilled ones in the region so this impact is minor and be able to minimize.

Local road

degradation due

to construction

activities and

Medium Short-term - The subproject site is near Lien Ha – Thuy lam asphalte commune road route, National

Road No. 3; it is very advantageous in construction materials transportation.

- These roads are well-processed foundation and are covered by thick layer of bitumen. In

addition, level of transportation activities is not high, transporting oversize and overload

standard.

Medium Long-term - If not properly designed and constructed the substation and the connection lines would

have adverse impact on worker and community health. Based on the calculation and

existing substation 220kV show that, the EMF level is under standard. The Dong Anh

220kV substation was designed to conform to safety standard. Safety regulation will also

be applied strictly by workers when operating substation.

Pollution due to

leakage oil and

hazardous

materials

Medium Long – term - Leakage oil from transformers can affect adversely on environmental quality. In order to

prevent the impact on the environment quality due to leakage oil, oil-collected pit will be

installed. Oil collected pit has concreted cover and prevented from leaking, also be

equipped with an automatic water pump. Oil collected tank is arranged in locations

convenient for the collection of the transformer (V = 90m3) in capacity (equivalent 78tons

of oil) to ensure 100% volume of oil discharge from transformer will be obtained when

there is a problem.

- The project does not use cooling oil that contains PCBs and hazardous materials

Noise from

substation

operation

Small Long – term - The transformer will be manufactured according to regulations with noise level under

70dBA at 30m of distance. It will also be installed complying technical requirements to

reduce the noise to operation. Besides, the project locates in paddy field. Thus, impact of

the noise is insignificant.

Impact due to

waste water and

domestic solid

waste of operation

workers

Small Long – term - In the operation stage, the substation does not discharge any of hazardous wastes.

Domestic waste water from daily activities of operation workers will be treated by a

septic tank before discharging the environment. Domestic solid waste will be collected

and discharged through waste collected system of the local. Therefore, impact on the

environmental due to waste discharge is small.

Problems of grid,

integral and critical part of the EMP, the environment monitoring program should have the

following objectives:

Determine the actual extent of the impacts.

Control impacts which are generated from construction process and mentioned in the

EMP.

Check and supervise implementation of environmental protection solutions during

construction based on EMP.

Suggest mitigation measures in case of unexpected impacts.

Suggest to the related parties to coordinate with central and local environmental

organizations to solve any pending issues that might arise relating to environmental

protection under the scope of the subproject.

Assess the effect of mitigation measures in pre-construction, construction and operation

stages and recommend for improvement.
