1. INTRODUCTION

The Red River Delta Rural Water Supply and Sanitation (RRD RWSS) Project (the Project)

funded by International Development Association (IDA) of the World Bank. This project

covers rural areas of 12 provinces of the Red River Delta including: Bac Ninh, Quang Ninh,

Phu Tho, Vinh Phuc, Ha Tay (now Hanoi), Hung Yen, Ha Nam, Thanh Hoa, Hai Duong, Thai

Binh, Nam Dinh and Ninh Binh.

The project’s objective is to improve water and household level sanitation services and their

effective use in the project selected provinces in the Red River Delta in ways that are

financially, technically and environmentally sustatainable, thereby contributing to poverty

alleviation in participating rural communities. The project has been designed with two phases,

in which phase 1 has stated in 2006 to cover four provinces, including: Ninh Binh, Thai Binh,

Nam Dinh and Hai Duong. And the second phase will be executing in 8 provinces: Vinh Phuc,

Phu Tho, Ha Nam, Thanh Hoa, Quang Ninh, Hung Yen, Ha Tay and Bac Ninh.

Approximately 28-30 communes per Province will be benefited from the project.

The RRD RWSS Project has four main components:

- Component 1: Water and Sanitation Infrastructure Development;

- Component 2: Hygiene and Sanitation Behavior Change;

- Component 3: Strengthening the Capacity of Community and Local authority

Institutions and Management Entities;

- Component 4: Support for Project Management, Monitoring and Evaluation.

The Project has been classified by the World Bank as Environmental Category B . During the

project preparation phase, a Environmental Guidelines document has been prepared for IDA

for review and no-objection.. As part of the preparation for the Additional Financing (AF)

Project, the Environmental Guidelines document has been updated in November 2009 taking

into account technical advices provided by IDA during previsous supervision missions.

Review of the environmental safeguard issues of the parent project has been conducted as part

of the preparation for the additional financing. Findings from the supervision mission’s

review and lessons learnt during the implementation of Project Phase 1, particularly the

in-depth technical guidance document provided by IDA supervision team during previous

mission, and the updates of Vietnamese environmental legislation are taken into account in

this updated Environmental Guideline. .

2. PROJECT AREA

Red River Delta, one of pivotal economic regions in Vietnam with 70% of rural population, is

in pressing need of water supply and sanitation. According to survey results, the water sources

which are in use in the Delta now are mainly rain water, underground water, and surface water

of rivers and lakes. These sources are prone to pollution, especially surface water of rivers,

because of agricultural cultivation, waste water of life activities and from industrial zones and

trade villages.

The project is covering in the rural areas of 12 provinces in Red River Delta with two phases.

In the first phase, the project is implemented in four provinces of Ninh Binh, Nam Dinh, Thai

Binh, and Hai Duong. And in the second phase, the project is implemented in 8 provinces: Ha

Nam, Thanh Hoa, Hung Yen, Quang Ninh, Bac Ninh and former Ha Tay.

3.2. WB Environmental Safeguard Policies

OP 4.01 Environmental Assessment is triggered in this Project:

1. To ensure projects proposed for financing are environmentally & socially sound and sustainable;

2. To inform decision makers of the nature of environmental and social risks involved in the project;

3. To increase transparency and participation of all project-affected people in the decision-making process.

4

4. PROJECT PROPOSAL, ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT PROCESS

APPLICABLE TO RURAL WATER SUPPLY SCHEMES

4.1. Project proposals

In each of the 12 project province, the project will provide rural water supply systems and

public sanitation facilities for 28 to 30 communes. It is likely that each the sub-project scheme

are developed in the scale of a commune or several communes.

Design and Construction works supporting the project include: water intakes facility, raw

water pump station, water supply treatment plants, pipe water supply system, public toilets.

Because the land area that needs clearance for the project is very large,

4.2. Project Siting

This is the first step during the preparation of a rural water supply scheme under the RRD

RWSS. Siting of water treatment plants (WTP), water intake, pipe trenches should avoid the

followings, where possible:

- high productivity crop land, particularly rice fields

- Physical Cultural/Historical Structures;

- forest and reserved land, natural habitats such as natural reserves, forest, national

parks, wetlands, etc.;

- areas or objects of spiritual importante to local communities (e.g. sacred trees or

pieces of stones), etc.

- trees cuttings

- removal of existing infrastructure such as drainage, power line, telephone cables, or

damages to existing roads or irrigation canals

- construction works/operation of the works would cause impacts to cultural, historical

objects potentially affected, including graves, churches, temples, pagodas, sack trees,

historical sites etc

Siting of WTP ancillary items will satisfy the followings, if possible:

- siting water intakes as far as possible from downstream of landfill, toilets, or

wastewater discharge points

- Siting the water intake point (distance from river bank, depth) taking into account

pumping rate to minimise impacts on river bed/river bank

- pumping station is located at least 200 m from the nearest building

- siting concrete mixing plant as far as possible from noise-sensitive sites such as

classrooms, clinics, offices, religion practices

- Waste disposal sites, construction materials temporary loading sites, concrete mixing

sites must be at least 50 m from any surface water source.

Siting of Public toilets will satisfy the followings, if possible:

5

- - At sites not subjected to frequent flooding

- Located at the end of prevail wind direction

- convenience access to the users

- Not barely exposed to public areas or culturally sensitive structures.

- Ensuring water from septic tank to outside drainage must be good

4.3. Environmental Screening

As soon as project sites has been proposed with siting criteria been followed, environmental

screening should be carried out to determine whether the project would cause adverse

environmental impacts.

If screening results shows that a subproject may cause adverse environmental impacts,

reselection of project sites will be carried out and environmental impacts will be screened. If

the potential advervse impacts are unavoidable, then a detail Environmental Impacts will be

required. If the sub-project will not cause any adverse environmental impacts, PPMU will

prepare an Environmental Protection Commitment, and attached with an Environmental

Managment Plan.

5.

Community participates

monitoring in the construction

phase

- Compel consultancy agency/contractor/ PPMU/water

supply joint-stock company to implement and observe

minimize solutions related to environment

- Inhabitant’s responsibility to project is increased


6. Trees cuttings or damages to

vegetation cover

- Affect inhabitant’s production activities

- Affect field’s ecosystem

- Create an amount of organic solid waste that

disintegrates easily. When disintegrating, solid waste is

an ideal environment for alive pathogenic

microorganism, creates odor and a fixed amount of CH4,

H2S,... affecting air and water

- Affect landscape

10


7.

Exploit and transport materials,

equipments of project such as

soil, stone, sand, cement,

gravel, iron, wood,...

- Trucks damage road system along transport route

- Trucks carrying cumbersome equipments can break

electric lines or cable along transport route

- Materials, especially soil and sand scattering along this

route affect inhabitants’ health

- Too many transport means create traffic jam or

accidents along the route

- Exhaust fumes, such as CO2, CO, SO2, NOx, CH4,...

created by fuel burning procedure help to increase air

pollution, green house effect.

8. Level space in project area

- Lose cultivated layer in project area

- Might interrupt irrigation system leading to the risk of

waterlogged problem when it rains heavily. It affects

agricultural activities in the area

- Affect air environment because if dust, exhaust fumes

such as CH4, CO2, SO2, NOx,...

- Residence of some organisms disappear which affects

area’s ecosystem

9.

Gather, store and maintain

construction materials in

working area

- Is the dust source if not being shielded carefully

- Lose area’s good looking

- Arise social problems such as thief, public order,...

10. Operations of vehicles and

construction equipments

- Arise noise, especially from heavy vehicles such as

bulldozer, shovel machine, cement truck, rammer or

pump,...

- Exhaust fumes such as CO2, CO, NOx, CH4,... are

made during fuel burning procedure of vehicles

- Lubricant to maintain/lubricate equipments can be

leaked out which affects land and water quality in the

area

- Sediment for lubricant, oil tank … is hazardous wastes

which need to be collected and treated strictly

11.

Execute constructions such as

water pump station, water

treatment station and water pipe

system

- Change area’s landscape

- Construction procedure creates noise, dust and exhaust

fumes

- Affect the growth and development of organism in the

area, especially microorganism in the land and water.

Many species are wiped out, however new species will

appear

11


12. Dig road to construct water

system

- Traspor system along the route will be downgraded

- Affect inhabitants’ traffic because of

excavating/gathering construction materials

- Arise dust during construction process. It affects air

enviroment in the area

- Landscape will be seriously affected during

construction process

- Interrupt/affect irrigation system if water pipe passes by

13. Workers’ life activities

- Create an amount of solid wastes and household

sewage. They are solid wastes which easily disintegrate

and contain pathogenic microorganism

- Affect public order in the area

- Emerged social issues if not managed

- Food safety need to be paid more attention

14.

Manage and treat solid waste,

household waste and sewage

made by workers

- Household solid waste and sewage made by workers

affect water and land quality in the area if not being

collected and treated

- Household waste is an ideal environment for

pathogenic microorganism to develop. Therefore if it is

not managed and treated, the risk of epidemic diseases

breakout is very high

15.

Construction solid waste such

as cement packing, broken

brick,...

- Construction solid waste is difficult to disintegrate.

They will be swept into lakes/rivers.. when it rains. If not

being collected and treated, it affects water source’s

quality.

- When being burried in the land, these solid wastes

prevent the growth and development of land organism

leading to degradation.

- Lose area’s good looking

16. Rain-water overflows in

working area

Overflowing water will sweep materials/wastes in the

working area into lakes/rivers.... It makes water source

polluted, affects organism living in the water

12


17. Oil overflows and leaks out

from machines, equipments

Oil is dangerous waste needing to be collected and

treated strictly. If oil leaks out or overflows, it will has

negative impact on environment. For instance:

- Land pollution in the leaked-out area

- Underground water layer pollution if land absorb these

waste

- If leaking out or flowing into lakes/rivers… it makes

water polluted, prevents the growth and development of

organism living in the water

18. Fire

Fire’s causes mainly come from electricity. Construction

process made by electrical conductivity equipments is

temporary, therefore the risk of fire or electric leakage

easily happens. When fire or electric leakage happens, it

threatens people’s life and seriously damages.

19.

Waterlogged, flooded problem

by blocked water flow because

of gravelly soil in working area

- Construction materials not only block water flow but

also affects water source quality if not being managed

- Flood, waterlog will happen on the large scale which

has bad impact on society and area’s environment,

construction progress.

20. Labor safety

Problem related to labor safety can happens every time

during construction process because of following

reasons:

- Construction means mainly are heavy mechanical ones

- Direct workers mainly are unskilled labors

When labor accident happens, it affects human health

directly

III Operation phase

21. Water treatment procedure is

observed and logical

Observed water treatment procedure

22. Monitor water periodically

- Frequently monitoring input quality and water after

treatment to have suitable adjustment

- Warning environmental problems because of water

using

23.

Make table to keep track of

supplied water quality every

day

Making table to keep track of supplied water quality

every day helps operator find out fluctuation rule of

water source, and have logic solutions to adjust

chemicals quantity such as precipitate, chlorination

reasonably. At the same time, we adjust filter and

sedimentation speed to meet the demand of household

water criteria.

13


24.

After treatment water quality

doesn’t meet environmental

criteria

- Directly affect inhabitants’ health using water source

- Diseases arise in the community

- Construction’s sustainability is destroyed

25.

Pump’s operation - Noise affects life and health of inhabitants living

around, especially workers directly operating factory

- The risk of leaked-out lubricant

26.

Store and mix chemicals

unreasonably

- Pollute area’s air, especially in the house storing and

mix chemical

- Long-term impact on health of workers operating

factory

27.

Sludge waste from filter and

septic tank

- Sludge contains polluted substances such as heavy

metals, organic substance,... Therefore if we don’t have

treatment method, sludge will have bad impact on

environment

- Sludge is more and more created which makes

landscape worse

28.

Workers’ life activities

participating in operating

treatment factory

- Creating solid waste and household sewage. These

wastes have bad impact on environment if not being

collected and treated

29.

Oil sediment to lubricate

machine, equipments, broken

lamp or clout covered in oil...

This is dangerous wastes which need to be collected and

treated strictly. These solid wastes seriously affects

environment and human health if not being collected and

treated:

- Lubricant/clout covered in oil affects the growth and

development of organism living in the water if they are

thrown into lakes/rivers…

- Lubricant/clout covered in oil affects the growth and

development of organism living in the land; create land

degradation if they are buried in the land

- Broken lamp is glass and contains H2S if human beings

step on, it will affect human health directly

30.

Fire because of electric leakage - Interrupt and affect water treatment process

- Water loss in the whole water supply system during

repair time

Other impacts can be identified by field survey and public consultations. Therefore, staff/

consultants who prepare EA/EPC should use the information listed in Table 2 for reference

and prepare a similar table for each subproject, based on the information collected from

project background documents, field survey and public consultations.

14

4.4.3. Preparation of Environmental Managmeent Plan (EMP)

During EA/EPC preparation, close cooperation with the Engineering Consultant will be

required. As the Engineering Consultant will carry out an extensive survey in the project

areas, information will be obtained among others on socioeconomic conditions, public health,

water resources, and sanitary conditions. These data should be incorporated in the EA.

Considering the likely nature of subprojects, perhaps the most important stage in the EA

process will be developing and implementing an appropriate EMP. The EMP should be

prepared after taking into account comments from authorised local environmental

management agencies, and the WB where applicable, as well as any conditions upon which

clearance of the feasibility study or other documents was based.

The integration of mitigation and environmental monitoring measures into project

implementation and operation is supported by clearly defining the environmental

requirements within an EMP. The EMP provides an essential link between the impacts

predicted, mitigation measures specified and implementation and operation activities. EMP

outlines the summary of anticipated environmental impacts, the mitigation measures to

minimize these impacts, the environmental monitoring program, responsibilities for

mitigation and monitoring, timescales, plan for building capacity for environmental

management, costs of the implementation of EMP and sources of funding.

The EMP will address the following topics:

� Summary of impacts.

� Description of mitigation measures.

� Description of monitoring programs (during construction and operation).

� Institutional arrangements.

� Implementation schedule and reporting procedures.

� Cost estimates which should include a sum of costs for mitigation (if not yet included

in construction cost), monitoring, and capacity building and sources of funds.

Sound environmental practices are to be incorporated into the technical standards and

specifications and into contract documentation. The engineer responsible for the detailed

design will use and complete the findings of the EA as part of the final design, to ensure that

environmental considerations are fully taken into account. The PPMUs will submit the EMP

for review to relevant local environmental management authorities.

The PPMU will submit the EMPs with the DPC’s views for all selected sites proposed in the

respected provinces to MARD and WB for approval.

Annex provides examples of mitigation measures and monitoring programs as part of an EMP.

15

4.4.4 Public consultation and information disclosure

The Bank's safeguard policies (OP 4.01) require the client/CPO/PPMUs to facilitate public

consultation and information disclosure. Accordingly, consultation with project affected

people (PAPs) and local NGOs is recommended for Category B projects.

During environmental screening or preparation of the EPC, public consultation must be

carried out in a form convenient to the local people (e.g. survey, meeting, leaflet, signboard

etc.) and information on the main findings of environmental impact and proposed mitigation

measures must be provided in the local language. Records of feedback from public

consultation should be attached to the final draft EMP. These documents should clearly state

that environmental concerns and suggestions for environmental improvement made by the

public have been incorporated. It is advisable that EMPs include a summary table to show the

number of meetings, the place, the number of PAPs attended meetings. Some minutes of the

meetings need to be attached

The Client should confirm with the Bank that copies of the final draft EMPs (in Vietnamese)

are displayed at the project place accessible to the public and the time for such disclosure. The

Client should also confirm the release of theEMP for disclosure at the Vietnam Development

Information Center (VDIC) . The EA documents must be disclosed before site work starts.

4.5. Institutional Arrangements for the EA Process

4.5.1. Responsibilities

The responsibility for carrying out the EA process and documenting it rests with the Borrower,

which exercises its responsibility through its implementing agencies MARD. CPO and

PPMUs responsible for each subproject. CPO/PPMUs may need to hire consultants for EA

and preparation of EMPs or other related documents, for example an EIA/EPC/EMP, if they

are required. CPO/PPMU will supervise the work and preparation of reports. The

CPO/PPMUs will ensure the active and effective participation and support of community in

the preparation and implementation of EIA.

Once the EMP and, if needed, other documents have been prepared, WB/MARD as the case

may be reviews the document to ensure compliance with National Environmental Guidelines

and the World Bank's relevant Safeguard Policies. Thereafter, the EMP is forwarded to local

environmental management agencies (DONRE/DPC's as appropriate) for an environmental

certificate and to World Bank for review and clearance. PPMUs are responsible for ensuring

close coordination with DONRE during project preparation and implementation. Relevant

Vietnamese authorised authorities, which in most cases for subprojects will be the District

People’s Committee will review and approve EMPs and issue an Environment Certificate.

Responsbility for implementing the EMPs or other management documents also rests with

CPO, once again exercised through the PPMUs responsible for the subproject. EMPs are

monitoiring and capacity building activities for PPMU, CPO, contractor and other

relevant stake holders

CPO and WB carry periodical monitoring

4.5. Guidance on Mapping:

A map of the project area should be prepared, including delineation and mapping of project

site. If existing, the location of Environmental and Cultural/Historical Critical Areas and

National Protected Areas etc. should be indicated

4.6. Implementation of EMP

CPO/PPMU is in charge of supervising the implementation of EMP and reports preparation on

a regular basis. This needs to be done through the monitoring of EMP implementation by the

PPMUs technical staff, an independent environment monitoring consultant (IEMC) hired by

the respective CPO or PPMU, and a designated community leader (community-based

monitoring).

PPMUs/IEMC will carry out conduction and management of the project according to the

regulations of the Government such as bidding process, control of time schedules, financial

issues and quality control. To the PPMU include director, deputy directors, chief accountant,

specialist of planning, construction, finance, law and environment, and administrative staff.

PPMU are encouraged to involve beneficiaries in monitoring contractor’s compliance to

EMP. The daily monitoring will be done in the community level, but PPMU will be in charge

of the sampling and analysing, which might be needed and reporting. PPMU will supervise the

Contractor in implementation of mitigation measures. PPMU is reporting the implementation

of EMP to the World Bank and DONRE based on the reports prepared by the Contractor and

the communities based on the contractual arrangements for environmental monitoring.

PPMU collects the environmental monitoring reports from the Contractors and the

communities and submits them to DONRE. PPMU should work closely with community

authorities to promote community participation in the planning, management, operation and

monitoring of the project. The resident shall be educated to understand the infrastructure

problems and their role in overcoming the problems like cleaning and maintenance of drainage

18

system, proper house connection, prevention of illegal water supply and electricity

connections, solid waste collection, condition of roads and street lighting.

PPMU should have cooperation with the concerning companies in charge of water supply,

sanitation, solid waste collection, street maintenance and electricity during the operation of the

project to monitor the operation and maintenance.

4.7. Estimation of the EMP implementation cost

The EC for RRD-RWSSP project shall:

(i) estimate the cost needed for the implementation of the EMP for RRD-RWSSP

project; and

(ii) identify the source of fund.

The The cost is needed to implement the following:

- Mitigation measures (to be included in the bidding documents);

- Environmental monitoring plan;

- Environmental training.

The cost will be incorporated in the Project’s overall cost calculation tables

5. IMPLEMENTATION RESPONSIBILITIES

Environmental mitigation program are presented above in particular for each individual

sub-project constructed during the details designing based on the recommendations presented

in the project area (quality, reserves stability of water

sources). Top priority to using surface water of big rivers,

not using water sources from irrigation streams/canals.

- Determine and assess pollution sources for water

(household sewage, sewage from factories, companies

along the water source, capacity of water sources...)

- Refer to yearly monitoring data of water quality

- Check raw water quality and compare to regulation
