INTRODUCTION

In order to speed up the sustainable economic development of the country, requirement of

training human resource with high quality has been becoming the core mission of all

people in general and training and education sector in particular. To meet this requirement,

Vietnamese Government has been promulgating many policies and guidance with long-

term vision to develop university education of Vietnam.

One of the detailed objectives defined by Vietnamese Government is to "develop

curriculums in university education toward to researching, occupation, and application and

to ensure inter-reactive capacity among curriculums in whole system to develop and

complete solutions to meet quality and quality assurance system at university education

and establishment of some universities at international standard". To achieve these

objectives, Vietnamese Government has prepared a plan to increase investment capital for

university education development from Official Development Assistance (ODA) sources,

funding by some international financial organizations, particularly investment and

construction of high quality universities, including Vietnamese - German University

(VGU) from the World Bank (WB).

This project origins from initial idea of establishing Vietnamese - German University

(VGU) between Vietnamese Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) and Hessen

State Ministry of Higher Education, Research and the Arts (HMWK) (HMWK) in 2006.

This project rapidly received spreading support during short time. German relevant

stakeholders and others instructed the development of project components and put the

objectives to ensure researching curriculums of Vietnamese – German University (VGU)

can reach high quality and put Vietnamese – German University (VGU) to become

outstanding university. Mission of Vietnamese – German University (VGU) is that to be

the top researching university in Vietnam and region. Vietnamese – German University

(VGU) will implement curriculums for university level and post graduated training with

high quality, based upon German model that will be suitable with the requirements of

Vietnam. Vietnamese – German University (VGU) also will implement researching

activities on main science to serve socio-economic development demands of Vietnam;

Organizational and operational model of this university are one of new experiment and

create dynamic to push up the innovation of university system of Vietnam and contribute

to improve the quality of university education of Vietnam to the same level of regional and

international university. Results and experience learnt from this project will contribute to

the establishment of creative management mechanism of universities in Vietnam. Hence,

Vietnamese – German University (VGU) is one essential project for university education

of Vietnam.

And Vietnamese - German University (VGU) was established according to the Letter of

Intention, signed on 21 May 2007 and ―Joint Declaration on the Cooperation for the

Establishment of the Vietnamese-German University (VGU)‖, signed at Hanoi on 29

February 2008 between the Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) and Research and

the Arts (HMWK). Vietnamese - German University (VGU) was issued its business

license on 01 September 2008 by the Decision No. 1196/QD-TTg of Prime Minister and

officially operated on 10 September 2008.

Vietnamese - German University (VGU) Project is a new Construction Project comprising

of four main components:

2

- Component 1: Development of a policy and management framework for the

University: implementation of detailed arrangement on management, finance

and quality assurance system for new researching university model;

- Component 2: Development of education and scientific research: establishment

of academic management system, development of comprehensive studying and

researching curriculums for important sectors; development and provision of

training programmes for leaders, and managers, teachers and researchers;

- Component 3: Development of new campus and infrastructure: designing,

building and equipping for a new research university model (administration,

teaching, researching, library and services for student) in the construction area

in Binh Duong Province.

- Component 4: Project Implementation Management: Project management,

coordination of project activities and monitoring and evaluation of the project

and outcomes.

The Component 3 of the project is the basic construction investment. The Ministry of

Construction takes full responsibility for approving investment and construction project for

this Component. Preparing Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report for the VGU

Project was implemented for this Component only.

The VGU prepared the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report for the Project

which was approved by Binh Duong Provincial People‘s Committee via the Decision No.

2412/QD-UBND on 26 August 2011 and approved by the WB.

However, due to some delay and changes in the scope of several investment items, the

project has not yet commenced so far. As provided for in the Article 18 of the

Environmental Protection Law 2014, VGU Project must re-prepare Environmental Impact

Assessment (EIA) Report then submit to Binh Duong Provincial Department of Natural

Resources and Environment (DONRE) and Binh Duong Provincial People‘s Committee

(PPC) and WB re-approved.

Since establishment day, a campus with total area of 20 ha within National University at

Hochiminh City was agreed to be constructed for the Vietnamese - German University

(VGU). However, in September 2009, relevant stakeholders agreed to find other location

because this location was not suitable with long-term development orientation of

Vietnamese - German University (VGU). Hence, Vietnamese - German University (VGU)

was moved to Thoi Hoa Industrial and Residential Area, Thoi Hoa Ward, Ben Cat Town,

Binh Duong Province with total area of approximately 50.5ha.

Project area includes a part of Hamlet 3 and Hamlet 5C Residential Area of Thoi Hoa

Ward. According to the approved general plan and zoning with scale 1/2000 of Hamlet 3

and Hamlet 5C Residential Area, area for constructing Vietnamese is the separated area for

constructing social infrastructure facility of the area, including: primary University,

kindergarten, market, service and commercial centers. Hence, construction of Vietnamese -

German University (VGU) is suitable with plan and Vietnamese - German University

(VGU) itself is a social infrastructure facility, serving not only Binh Duong Province but

also whole Southern region and other provinces within this country. Environmental Impact

Assessment Report was prepared and approved for construction projects and infrastructure

business at Hamlet 3 and 5C Residential Area by the Decision No. 801/QD-UBND on 05

March 2009 and Decision No. 3530/QD-UBND on 17 December 2012 of Binh Duong

Provincial People's Committee.

The land for construction of the VGU has been planned in details with the scale of 1/500

and approved by Binh Duong PPC at its Decision No. 1865/QD-UBND dated 5/8/2014.

approximately 4700 hectares, which the Investment and Industrial Development Company

serves as the Project owner, in which, it has nearly 2200 ha industrial land and 2500 ha

urban development and service land.

Remaining area is approximately 1300 ha central administrative and service land of

districts, towns and wards, existing residential areas and some industrial development and

small residential projects.

8

In these industrial – service and urban areas, public facilities were planned such as high

universities; cultural and sport building planned at the town centre, My Phuoc 2&3

Residential Area.

Thoi Hoa and My Phuoc Industrial Zone and Residential Area have a close relationship in

terms of space and facilities. For the space, those residential areas are integrated with

public service facilities, parks, and trees… in a unique area.

The infrastructure is also connected in that way. Main roads of My Phuoc and Thoi Hoa

are connected to the main road such as Ring Road No. 4 to Cu Chi; to National Road

No.22 from Hochiminh to Tay Ninh (Asian Highway AH1), and National Road No. 13 to

Hochiminh City and Binh Phuoc Province. Hence, the project location has many

advantages because it is the linkage to many key and life-line roads in the area.

There is a K1 drainage channel within the project area, connecting to N1 and N2 drainage

channel, starting from My Phuoc Industrial Zone and Residential Are. This is a drainage

channel for the whole My Phuoc and Thoi Hoa Industrial Zone and Residential Area and

then discharge to Thi Tinh River to the West of the project.

The power supply system, communication and water supply network will be also

connected in a unique system in order to make the synchronousness for public facilities.

Drainage system

Drainage system will be designed separately with the domestic wastewater system.

Surface storm water from whole southern area of the project will be collected to the

centralized lakes at the South of the project. Those lakes will slow down storm water flow

during the highest rain with frequency of 10 years. Higher volume of those lakes will be

drained to the channel by sewerage system.

Surface storm water of remaining areas will be collected by drainage system on the roads,

then it will be collected by sewerage system under the road and direct discharged to K1

Channel.

22

After collecting to sewerage, whole surface water of designed area will be directly

discharged to K1 Channel. This channel will run to Thi Tinh River at the border of the

West of Thoi Hoa IRP that is a branch of Sai Gon River.

Drainage system includes:

+ Infiltration channel

+ Manhole with depressed part, sand trap, and screen at all outlets to sewerage

system from street inlets.

+ Underground slow down tank

+ Storm water channel with coverage (on Road H6 to collect storm water from

surrounding areas).

Water supply network

Domestic water for Vietnamese – German University (VGU) will be separated into two

types: potable and non-potable water. Potable water will be used for drinking, washing,

cleaning and other purposes. Non-potable water will be used for flushing toilet, watering

and other purposes.

o Potable water:

Potable water intended to connect with main existing pipeline network D400

BIWASE (inside diameter 400 mm) along the South of K1 Channel.

o Non-potable water:

Non-potable water will be provided from wastewater treatment system for

recycling.

o Firefighting water

Firefighting water will be provided by water supply system.

Water will be supplied from Binh Duong Water Supply Company that is inadequate to

provide continuously water for VGU campus due to unequal pressure. Hence, an indirect

water supply system will be used - storage reservoir, transmission pump and a pipeline

network to supply water to the campus.

Water storage will be implemented for potable and non-potable water sources. For potable

water source, storage will be based on daily demand and firefighting capacity. Storage

water will be summarized in the following table:

2.1.2. Climate conditions

The Project will be constructed in Binh Duong Province and be influenced by monsoon

tropical climate. Flood and storm rarely occur. Annually, there are rainy seasons and dry

seasons; rainy season is usually from May to November and dry season is from December

to April next year. Rainfall intensity in the area is high.

The Project is located in the area IIc - southern weather, including all lowlands of the

provinces and cities, namely: Dong Nai, Binh Duong, Binh Phuoc, Tay Ninh, Hochiminh

City, Ba Ria Vung Tau, Vinh Long, Tra Vinh, Dong Thap, Ben Tre, Long An, Tien Giang,

An Giang, Hau Giang, Can Tho, Soc Trang, Kien Giang, Bac Lieu and Ca Mau.

Temperature:

Enjoying the rich and stable radiation as well as the temperature of relatively high and little

changed over the month in the year in Ben Cat area, and according to So Sao meteorology

station (Binh Duong) from 2010-2014, the temperature in the area is shown as follows:

Annual average temperature (2010-2014): 26.4° C

Annual average temperature varies in a range of: 24.62 -28.36°C

Difference of temperature between the hottest and coolest month is approximately 3.7°C.

The lowest temperature is in December and January, and the highest temperature is in

April and May.

Air temperature directly affects the dispersal, dilution and transformation of pollutants in

the atmosphere. The higher the temperature is, the faster the speed of chemical reaction in

the atmosphere and the less time the retention of substances in the atmosphere. And the

temperature is also a factor altering the organic solvent evaporation, odor causing

substances, and a significant factor having directly impact on the health of workers at

work. Therefore, it is required to analyze the temperature factor when calculating and

forecasting air pollution and proposing solutions.

Solar radiation:

The project area is located in the low latitudes where the sun position is always high and

little changed over the month in the year, therefore, solar radiation regime in the project

area is very stable. The total amount of radiation is about 150 Kcal/ cm2. The high levels

of radiation are in drought season. The average maximum number of sunshine hours per

day is about 8.5 in the January, February and April. Average sunshine hours per year are

about 7.2 hours/ day and 217 hours/ month.

Wind, evaporation and air humidity

In the project area, the wind blows prevailingly to the southwest and mostly in June, July,

August and September, and it brings much moisture vapor. The average wind speed is 0.7-

0.8 m/s. North and northeast winds appear mainly from November to January without rains

with the average speed of 0.8 m/s. South and Southeast winds blow primarily in March,

April and May and in drought months without rains. The average velocity is 0.8 m/s.

Evaporation makes an increase of humidity and brings odors into the air. The average

evaporation measured at So Sao station is 1,312 mm. Evaporation in drought months is

higher than thatin cooler months. March is the month when the highest evaporation occurs,

and the lowest evaporation is in August, September and October.

Air humidity is a factor affecting the metabolism of air pollutants and is a microclimate

factor influencing the health of workers. The results monitored at So Sao meteorological

station showed that its annual average air humidity is 79.2%, the lowest atmospheric

humidity in the year is 54%. Air humidity varies by seasons and by region. The difference

between the wettest and driest places in Binh Duong province is about 5%. The moist

period coincides with rainy period (from May to July). The dry period coincides with the

dry season. The highest average humidity month is in September and October, the lowest

humidity months are in February and March.

Similar to the temperature, the air humidity is one of the natural factors affecting the

process of dilution, transformation of pollutants, to the heat exchanging within the body

and human health. Therefore, as the above factors, it is necessary to pay attention to the

moisture in the assessment and forecast of the environmental impacts.

Atmospheric durability

The air pollutants are in granules (dust) and gaseous. Determinants of dust and gas

emission are the atmospheric durability. Pollutants will be mixed and dispersed at the

highest level if atmospheric conditions fall into sustainable groups of A, B, C (sustainable

groups)

When atmospheric durability of Groups A, B, C - small wind speed, the concentration of

pollutants is higher when the wind speed is large.

Atmospheric durability of neutralizing Group D or sustainable Group D or E, F, the ability

to diffuse pollutants will be lowest.

Diffusal in drought seasons will be higher than that in rainy seasons.

The comparison between the average wind speed in the project area of about 0.8 m/sas

presented in the meteorological data and the above table shows that in the project area,

atmospheric durability is generally stable in the daytime and is more sustainable in the

nighttime.

Rainfall

Rains help to purify pollutants in the air and dilute pollutants in the water. Rains also

sweep away pollutants from the ground to water resources. The average rainfall in many

years in Ben Cat is presented as follows:

Monthly average rainfall (mm)

Rainfall regime will affect the air quality. Rainfall will sweep away and clean dust and

pollutants in the atmosphere, reduce the concentration of pollutants, dilute and carry

materials on the ground, reducing level of pollution to the soil environment. Therefore,

when considering, assessing and forecasting the environmental quality and propose

solutions to minimize environmental pollution, the analysis and calculation of natural

rainfall is necessary.

2.1.3. Hydrological conditions

There are three main rivers of Dong Nai River system in the locality of Binh Duong

Province, namely: Be River, Dong Nai River and Sai Gon River. Besides three main rivers,

there are Thi Tinh River that is a branch Sai Gon River, Ba Lo Channel, Ba Hiep Channel,

Vinh Binh, Ong Co Channel, etc. Density of channel and river in the provincial locality is

0,4-0,8 km/km2.

Drainage channel K1 runs through the project area and is connected to two drainage

channels N1, N2, which are derived from industrial and residential zones of My Phuoc.

The entire water and wastewater of industrial park and residential area of My Phuoc, Thoi

Hoa will be served by this drainage channel and will then be discharged into Thi Tinh river

45

(a branch of Saigon River) in the west of industrial and residential areas of Thoi Hoa. At

present, the density of population and factories, enterprises in industrial zones and

residential areas of My Phuoc and Thoi Hoa has not been high, so the water flow in the

channel K1 is not great. Results of the hydrological environment survey in the project

areas in April/2015 (dry season) show that the flow of water in the channel K1 is low

without flow, and section flowing through the project area is so low that the bottom can be

seen.

The followings are observed in Thu Dau Mot and Phu An stations.

The construction area was acquired by Becamex Company. Almost all of plant and

constructions was demolished and leveled to prepare the new development. However, after

cutting trees, Becamex Company planted tree strip at the North, the East and along K1

Channel at the West of construction area. All trees are acacias. The remaining areas of

construction area are empty land and lawn.

For K1 Channel, crossing construction area, it is drainage channel of area with low water

level. It received domestic wastewater of people along channel daily hence there is no aqua

flora and fauna in K1 Channel.

CHAPTER 3

ASSESSMENT, PREDICTION OF PROJECT’S ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS

3.1. Impact assessment and prediction

3.1.1. Impact assessment and prediction during the project preparation

Existing conditions of land use: total area of construction that will be handed over to the

project is cleared out and compensated by Becamex Company. Regarding existing

conditions of architecture, there are some class-4 houses of households that have not been

demolished after removal. Regarding existing conditions of landscape, Becamex planted

some tree strips at the North along K1 Channel and at the West of the project. Remaining

area is lawn and empty land. Hence, site clearance will include the demolishment of those

structures, cutting some trees at the area in the construction items, site clearance in order to

prepare empty land for construction works.

In this phase, there are no significant impacts to the natural environment and local

economic conditions. However, during site clearance and demolishment of some

constructions, it will generate a high volume of construction materials of approximately

200-300 tons. This waste volume will be reused for backfilling during the construction

phase. In addition, waste generated from cutting some trees at the area of K1 Channel and

other construction items will be reused as firewood for construction workers or selling to

local people or giving for free.

3.1.2. Impact assessment and prediction during construction phase of the Project

Pollution sources related to environment:

they were assessed as short time and internal characteristics.

A. Pollution sources related to waste

3.1.2.1. Pollution sources to air environment

In construction phase, impacts to the air environment are the highest. However, impacts

mostly concentrated in construction area and on roads for transporting excavation materials

and redundant backfilling, construction materials…

Air quality in this phase mostly was influenced by increasing concentration of dust and

other polluted substances such as NO2, SO2, CO, Total hydrocarbon (THC) generating from

construction activities such as:

- Leveling, excavation and backfilling according to designed elevation of construction

items, excavating foundation, channels, trenches to construct water supply, drainage,

power supply and telecommunication system.

- Activities of construction machineries that use diesel, emission of those machineries

contains NO2, SO2, CO, THC, dust.

- Activities of transportation means such as trucks to transport construction materials,

soil, sand and other materials to/from construction site. Activities of those means will

increase density of transportation on main roads of the project such as National Road

59

No. 13 and Ring Road No. 4. It can lead to traffic jam in those roads at location

entrance of construction area and increase loading capacity of the waste on the roads,

particularly at location of construction area

- Inefficient transportation, storage and unload of construction, excavation and

backfilling materials will generate dust

a. Impacts by dust from leveling activities:

In general, topography of construction area is quite flat. Topographical elevation of

construction area fluctuates from 3 to 10 m. Topographical elevation of construction area

gradually reduce to K1 Channel in both the North and South of the channel. Topographical

elevation of construction area is mostly approximately 5-6m. Highest point is at southern

area of construction area with elevation fluctuate from 6m-10m. Hence, the project must

implement leveling for whole construction site to ensure designed elevation of facilities.

According to results of measuring calculation of designing consultant construction and site

investigation at construction site, leveling quantity will be calculated as follows:

Total necessary leveling area is 459,819.93 m2 that is the total construction area of

Vietnamese - German University (VGU). Excavating plantation of whole total will be

implemented at the average depth of 30 cm. Quantity is 76871 m3. This quantity will not

be transported out of the project area. This quantity will be kept for backfilling landscape

and growing trees. Hence, dust-generated source is only within the project area.

After excavating plantation, it will be backfilled to the designed elevation of facilities.

+ Quantity of excavation: 74,869 m3

+ Quantity of backfilling: 75,966 m3

+ Quantity of excavating facility foundation in Phase 1: 131,991 m3

+ Quantity of excavation facility foundation in Phase 2: 60,776 m3

Hence, in Phase 1:

Total quantity of excavation: 206,868 m3

Total quantity of backfilling: 152,837 m3

Quantity of redundant excavated soil needs to transport: 54,022 m3

In Phase 2:

Total quantity of excavated soil needs to transport: 60,776 m3

Hence, dust-generated source due to leveling activities mostly come from excavating

locations.

It is intended that backfilling duration of construction site, leveling and excavating

basement and foundation of construction facilities in each phase are approximately 6

months. Each month has 30 working days. Each working day has 8 working hours.

In average, when implementing excavation or backfilling 1m3 of soil will generate

approximately 0.75kg dust, in which 10% is suspended dust (Source: Environment in

Construction Activities Handbook – Ph.D. Nguyen Khac Cuong – Hochiminh Multi

Faculty University). It estimated the quantity of dust generated during leveling, and

excavating foundation for the facilities will be as follows:

At present, dust concentration in construction area of the project is quite low (0.06 – 0.16

mg/m3), that is much lower than allowed standards for surounding ambient (allowed

concentration in an average of 1hour is 0.3 mg/m3). In the construction phase, dust

concentration will increase obviously and significantly. The measurement results of some

projects and when the wind blows strongly showed thatdust concentration insome

construction location, where is 50 m – 100 m far from the project site at the end of wind

direction, is at 20-30 mg/m3, that is 60 – 100 times higher than regulated standards for dust

concentration limits in surounding ambient environemnt (Centema, 2005). At present,

residential areasin the West of the project, there is only one household. The southern area is

the accomodation of old residential area with high population density. Being with main wind

direction of Southwest, the residential area in the West and the South of the project,

particularly households near the project border will be influenced by dust during site

excavation and backfilling. Besides, the dust in the construction site will direct affect to

construction workers in construction site. Therefore, during construction phase, contractor is

required to strictly apply mitigation measures to limit impact level to around ambient,

especially during the construction period of works in the Phase 2 of the Project when the

Vietnamese German University is operated stabily with aquite large number of students and

staff, the contractor is required to have a construction plan and use appropriate construction

61

methods to minimize impacts on learning and living activities, as well as the operation of the

works under Phase 1 of the Project.

b. Dust,emission generating from transporting redundant soil out of the project area

In Phase 1, volume of excavated redundant soil after leveling and foundation excavation is

approximately 54,022 m3 equivalent 81,046 tons.

In Phase 2, volume of redundant soil needs to be transported is approximately 60,776 m3

equivalent 91,164 tons.

It is intended the transportation and disposal of redundant soil out of the project area will be

implemented during excavating and backfilling foundation of construction items in phase 1 is

6 months. If using 15-ton trucks, the number of transporting time to transport all quantity of

redundant soil out of the project site will be calculated as follows:

According to technical documents, within about 10 km of trip, a truck will use

approximately 0.0025 – 0.003 tons of diesel. It assumed that the road is about 30 km long,

number of km for going and returning in a day and diesel quantity used during

transportation will be calculated as follows:

At present, there is no standards about polluted substances causing by transportation means

in Vietnam so that we referred to the documents of World Health Organization (WHO) on

rapid defining disposed source according to ―air pollution factor‖ to calculate air polluted

substances due to transportation of materials and waste. Preliminary calculation will be as

follows:

c. Dust, emission generating from transportation means of materials:

Construction materials include: sand, stone, brick, paving tile, cement, iron, paint, etc.

Total quantity of construction materials in Phase 1 of the project is about 693,924 tons,

Phase 2 is about 351,478 tons. It assumed that the construction duration of each phase is

about 2 years, the number of transportation time of the project will be about 92 times/day

in Phase 1 and about 60 times/day in Phase 2.

Transportation road mostly is National Road No. 13 and Ring Road No. 4. Hence, during

construction phase, it will increase transportation frequency in both roads, particularly

traffic jams at the entrance of the construction areas.

If transported distance of construction materials is about 30 km, diesel quantity consumed

in a day will be approximately 1.38 -1.66 tons in Phase 1 and from 0.9-1.08 tons in Phase

2.

Although quantity of construction materials is very high, material transportation to

construction site will be arranged to be suitable with construction plan. Material

transportation will be allocated during long time, not concentrated during some certain

time so that impacts caused by dust and emission from engine will be reduced

significantly.

Diesel and

gasoline fumes

Gasoline fumes contain light hydrocarbon such as methane, propane,

butane, sulfur hydro. Poisoning level will be as follows:

- Concentration of gasoline fume from 45% above will lead to

suffocation due to lacking of oxidation. Inhaling gasoline fume will

get poisoning symptom such as drunk, convulsion, pneumonia, lung

abscess.

- If inhaling gasoline fume concentration of 40.000mg/m3, symptoms

will be acute such as chest pain, vertigo, disturbing sensation,

headache, nauseous, and vomit.

- Concentration of more than 60.000mg/m3 can lead to epilepsy, heart

attack, respiratory disorder, even fatality. In addition, sensitive person

with diesel can be influenced (scabies, hives, skin cancer).

c. Dust generated from road surface due to transportation means:

Dust generated from road surface will be from transportation means of soil and sand,

etc. Dust quantity and concentration depend on factors such as: speed of means, loading

capacity, quality and length of roads, number of truck tire and weather conditions, etc.

According to WHO (Assessment on soil, water, air pollution sources Part 1: Rapid

Assessment of environmental pollution, WHO, 1993), pollution factors of generated dust

from road surface (in dry season) due to transportation activities (in dry season) will be as

follows:

3.1.1.2. Impacts to water environment

Including the following impacts:

a. Domestic wastewater of workers:

With the work quantity as mentioned in the project, it is expected that the during

construction phase at high peak, number of workers working in the construction site can

reach at 400 -500 people (including workers, guests and management staff). However, this

number will work on a shift basis and go home after working hours. There are not many

guardians and workers living at construction site. Hence, actual domestic wastewater will

reduce significantly. Water consumption of workers is estimated at an approximately of 60

l/person/day. Total estimated domestic wastewater of staffs and workers is approximately

20-30 m3/day according.

Therefore, the highest daily wastewater quantity in the construction phase can reach at

30m3/day discharged by about 500 construction workers.

Domestic wastewater mostly contains suspended solid (SS), organic substances

(BOD/COD), nutrient (N, P) and coliform that cause water pollution at the project area if

wastewater was direct discharged to the environment.

According to statistical data developed by the World Health Organization (WHO),

component and average concentration of polluted substances in domestic wastewater will

be as follows:

No. Pollutants Coefficient of discharge (g/c/d)

1 BOD5 45 – 54

2 Total suspended solid (SS) 70 – 145

3 Ammonia (N-NH4) 2.4 - 4.8

4 Total phosphate (P) 0.8 - 4.0

Source: Assessment on soil, water, air pollution sources Part 1: Rapid Assessment of

environmental pollution, page 155, WHO, 1993

The amount and concentration of pollutants in wastewater sources of workers working at

the site is calculated basing on the number of workers and wastewater flow.

3 Ammonia (N-NH4) mg/l 40 -80 10

4 Total phosphate

(P) MNP/100ml 13 -67 10

Comparing to Vietnamese Norms, almost polluted substances in domestic wastewater are

higher than allowed norms many times. If not collected and treated, it will cause

71

environmental pollution of surrounding area or it could be a pathogen to the workers on

construction site. If using septic tank at construction site, polluted load of organic

substances in wastewater can be reduced to 50-60 %. The wastewater volume can be

discharged into K1 channel.

b. Construction wastewater on site:

Wastewater from crushing and screening plants, construction materials, concrete mixing

station, boring holes with cement, sludge and sand, etc, clearing water and cooling water of

construction equipment and machineries contains leaking grease and oil, soil, sand.

Concrete mixing and car cleaning water usually contain high suspended solid and

contaminated other polluted substances such as solid waste, wasted oil and grease, leveling

materials and other waste. Estimated water quantity used in a day is approximately 20

m3/day.

QCVN 08: 2008 / BTNMT: National Technical Regulations on Quality of Surface Water

Comparing to the standard specified in Column B1, QCVN 08: 2008 / BTNMT - the

quality management standards of channel K1, the concentration of TSS in construction

wastewater is about 13 times higher. So, in order to restrict impacts on water quality in

channel K1, construction waste should be settled preliminarily to reduce TSS

concentration before being discharged into this channel.

c. Surface storm water:

Storm water on construction sites such as fuel storage, car parking, workshops or domestic

solid waste area without coverage will be contaminated by waste, grease, oil, organic

substances and chemicals from those locations that will lead to water and soil

environmental pollution.

According to Vietnamese Standards 7957-2008: Drainage - network and outdoor

construction, flow of storm water will be calculated as follows:

Qm = q .C .F (l/s.ha)

+ q: Calculated rainfall intensity, q = A (1 + lgP)/(t + b)n = 121.4 (l/s).

where t = 150-180 minute (rain duration).

At Binh Duong: using rainfall data of Hochiminh City to calculate:

A = 11650 (geographical parameter).

n = 0,95 (exponent coefficient according to region).

b = 32 (adjusted parameter according to region).

+ C: flow coefficient (selected C=0,58 due to hilly area).

72

+ F: Total area F ~ 50.5 (ha).

+ P: 5 year (overflow frequency).

So: Qm= 121.4* 0,58 * 50.5 = 3.555 (l/s)

According to WHO, 1993, polluted concentration in surface storm water will be as

follows:

Table 36. Polluted concentration in storm water

No. Polluted

Unit Concentration

1 Total N mg/l 0.5-1.5

4 TSS mg/l 10-20

Source: Assessment on soil, water, air pollution sources Part 1: Rapid Assessment of

environmental pollution, page 155, WHO, 1993

In general, polluted concentration in storm water is small and less environmental impacts.

Comparing to the standard specified in Column B1, QCVN 08:2008 / BTNMT - the

quality management standards of channel K1, the concentration of pollutants in rainwater

is very small, hence, can be discharged into the K1 channel as well as into the rainwater

system of this area. However, if there is efficient coverage method for construction site,

storm water can wipe out less grease and oil, soil and sand to receiving bodies. Hence, it

needs to implement well domestic and construction waste on site every day.

3.1.2.3. Environmental impacts due to solid waste

a. Soil and sludge from excavating plantation:

During leveling process, it will implement excavating plantation on the ground with

thickness of 30cm and total area of 459,819.93 m2. Hence, total quantity is:

0.3m x 459,819.93 m2

= 76.871 m3

This quantity will be reused in tree growing area in the project campus.

b. Solid waste from construction phase:

Including construction waste, sand, stone, concrete, brick, sand, stone, wood, etc.

generating from construction site. Those types of waste can be reused (redundant iron bar,

cement bags can be sold to junk shops) or recycled. Hence, solid waste quantity is not high

and will be collected and disposed with redundant soil. Volume of redundant soil is

approximately 54.022 m3 in Phase 1 and 60,766m3 in Phase 2.

Affected area of construction waste is mostly at construction site that will be influenced to

internal transportation on site or accident to the workers so that it needs to clean

construction site and collect construction waste every day. Excavating soil shall be

collected clearly and a contract with Binh Duong Urban Environmental Company will be

signed to implement this work. Redundant soil can be reused as backfilling materials for

construction.

After completion of the construction, waste volume from removing sanitary facilities will

be created. However, this quantity is not very high because this is temporary construction

items, including temporary toilets and cabin at entrance of construction site, making by tin

and steel frame. This cabin can be removed to other place. Technical staff at Thoi Hoa

73

Ward, or working unit on site can hire container office, putting at construction site for

working and resting. Hence, waste quantity caused by removing temporary construction

items is not too much.

c. Domestic solid waste:

Solid waste of workers working at construction site: highest daily quantity of workers at

construction site is 400-500 people. Total highest quantity of domestic solid waste during

construction phase is about (500 people x 0,5kg/person/day) = 250 kg/day.

d. Environmental impacts caused by hazardous waste:

During the construction phase, tar will be get generated from container and chemicals such

as: paint, sealant, etc. Those substances will seriously influence soil environment if they

won‘t be collected.

Wasted oil and grease is defined as hazardous waste according to the Circular No.

12/2011/TT-BTNMT. Wasted oil and grease can be generated from maintenance and

repairing processed of transportation and construction means in the project area. Referring

to surveyed results at HCM City, it is seen that:

- Lubricant discharging from transportation and construction means is about 7

l/changing time.

- Frequency of changing and maintenance times of machineries: average from 3

month/time.

- Number of construction machinery at high peak on site is about 45-50 car/day.

- Highest waste lubricant generating at the project during construction phase is from

105-116 l/month.

However, transportation means will change lubricant at garage and maintenance station.

Hence, actual lubricant waste at construction site will be much smaller.

3.1.2.4. Impact to soil environment

During construction phase, excavation and backfilling will break soil stability at two sides

of K1 Channel that lead to erosion.

If wastewater sources during construction such as construction wastewater, surface storm

water wiping out soil and sand, domestic wastewater of workers were not collected

according to procedures, they will be soil pollution sources.

Solid waste caused by construction activities such as concrete, waste, iron, tin, work form,

etc, domestic solid waste of workers, grease, oil and chemical leakage on the surface also

are soil pollution sources.

In the soil, those substances will change and become disintegrated that will destroy soil

structure, increase loading capacity and can influence humidity and ventilation. However,

most of project area surface will be covered by concrete and asphalt so that those impacts

are not significant.

B. Pollution sources not related to waste

3.1.2.5. Noise of transportation means and construction equipment

Noise in this phase is mostly caused by activities of transportation and construction means

and equipment. Reducing and increasing distance between people and machineries double

will increase and reduce the noise of 6dBA.

(Note: QĐ3733/2002/QĐ-BYT: Decision of the Minister of Health on issuing 21

occupational health standards, 05 principles and 07 parameters of occupational health)

Hence, overall noise for each construction equipment on site can be anticipated at an

approximately of 70-112 dBA. Comparing to allowed noise standards at public area, this

noise is quite loud.

From above table, if construction equipment at the area is one place, total noise of

construction equipment is: Lo=10.log n

Li

1

.1,010 (according to Pham Ngoc Dang – Air

environment, 1997).

where:

- Lo: Overall noise

- n: Total noise source

- Li: Source number i.

From above formula, it can calculate highest noise on site of 112.3 dB.

To forecast noise of construction equipment at the area to surroundings, we calculated

noise transmission as follows:

This noise level is typical source at height of 1,2 - 1,5m, comparing to road surface at the

distance r1, noise of r2> r1 will less than the noise at the distance r1 a Figure of L (dBA)

according to the following formula (Pham Ngoc Dang, Air environment, Technique and

Science Publisher, 1997):

- If noise source is a point: L = 20 lg (r2/r1)1+a

(dBA)

- If noise source is a road: L = 10 lg (r2/r1)1+a

(dBA)

75

In which: a is affected coefficient of terrain to absorb and reflect noise.

With: a= - 0,1 with asphalt and concrete road surface

a= 0 with empty land, no tree.

a= 0,1 with lawn

Selected a= 0. Most of means and equipment on site have narrow space so that noise

source during construction phase is a point. From assumed data as mentioned above,

calculated results will forecast that the noise will be reduced according to the distance from

project area to surroundings as follows:

Table 38. Anticipated noise transmission during construction phase

Reduced noise according to the distance (dB)

* Comments: From above-mentioned table, the noise from construction equipment is over

allowed standards at construction site and will influence the surrounding areas. Details:

Within radius of 100 m, the noise is over standards for labour environment. Within radius

from 150-300 m, the noise is over standards for surrounding environment.

Project area is next to Thoi Hoa 5C Hamlet Residential Area to the South and Thoi Hoa 3

Hamlet Residential Area to the West. Hamlet 3 Residential Area is a new area with 2-3

households only. The Residential Area at the South of the project is old and crowded,

however, the project is not constructed near the residential area, therefore, the construction

does not have effects to households nearby caused by noise and vibration. However, the

construction of items in Phase 2 will likely affect buildings of Phase 1, as such items,

buildings of phase 2 are located next to, or very close to the works of the Phase 1.

Therefore, it is necessary to apply appropriate construction methods to minimize noise and

vibration caused to buildings of the Phase 1 as well as the learning, teaching and activities

of students and officers of the Unversity during the course of construction.

3.1.2.6. Impacts to religion, relief and historical relics

Because this project is located in Thoi Hoa Industrial Zone and Residential A, there is no

impact of this project to religion, relief and historical relics. However, at the West of the

project, next to D9 Road, about 100m of distance away from D9, there is a new small

76

temple constructed by residential areas no.3 and no.5. The width of small temple is 20 m2,

is constructed on 100m2 of land area so it should be considered during construction phase.

3.1.2.7. Impacts to surrounding architecture and infrastructure

Except southern area of the project, next to existing residential area, there are some

households at Hamlet 3 Residential Area at the West, the North, next to Ring Road No. 4

and the East next to National Road No. 13. Hence, there are not so many people

surrounding project area and not so much architecture and infrastructure next to

Vietnamese - German University (VGU) project area so that impacts to surrounding

architecture are not high in Phase 1. However, during the construction of phase 2, some

buildings and works of Phase 1 and Phase 2 are located near or adjacent to each other,

some buildings and works of Phase 1 will have a high risk of being cracked or sunk unless

reasonable construction measures are applied. Therefore, during construction phase,

Project owner will require construction contractor to implement construction method in

effective manner and cover construction site to reduce maximally impact to works in Phase

1, particularly for D9 Road at the West of the project. Project owner will commit to take

full responsibility for generating impacts to surrounding constructions due to construction

activities of Vietnamese - German University (VGU) project.

3.1.2.8. Impacts to transportation

Construction area of Vietnamese - German University (VGU) project locates at

intersection between Ring Road 4 and National Road No. 13. People mostly locate at the

South, the North (at other side of Ring Road No. 4) and a newly established Eco Lake

residential area – a sparse population - to the East at the other side of National Road No.13.

They are new residential area and not so much people. Hence, construction works do not

affect much to people living in surrounding area 1. However, material transportation will

increase traffic density surrounding project area (it is 92 times/day at high peak as

estimation), particularly at National Road No. 13 that is main road from Hochiminh City,

Thu Dau Mot to Binh Phuoc Province. They influence transportation means and travelers

on National Road No. 13. Using big trucks will obstruct vision of travelers and occupy

most of total traffic area on this road, particularly at entrances of construction site. At those

locations, transportation means will enter construction site, turn on National Road No. 13

and Ring Road No. 4 that will create traffic jams. It shall install traffic signal and

controller to reduce traffic accident. Transportation process of Project construction

material shall be used heavy-duty trucks, causing risks of landslide and damage of

Highway 13 and beltway 4, especially in project surrounding areas. hence, there need to

carry out correctly the regulations on allowable load for each kind of construction vehicles

to mitigate the damage of road

3.1.2.9. Impacts to security and socio-economic conditions

Security: usually, concentration of workers at construction site can create conflict between

worker and local people and increase local security. Being with large number of workers

on site, sometime it can be 400-500 workers, security in the area shall be considered

carefully. In order to reduce those impacts, contractor can hire local laborers and closed

management of workers on site. It shall register permanent and temporary residence. The

workers must have entrance card to get in and out construction site and contractor shall

coordinate with management agency to manage people according to the laws.

Facilities: movement of workers, and removing construction machinery and equipment,

and transporting material will increase traffic flow that affects to the roads.

Concentration of construction workers also will increase frequency of facility usage, and

will damage public facilities in the area.

77

Construction phase will increase power supply and water supply so that it can lead to

overload and lacking water and electricity in the area.

Economic: the project will mobilize labour in the locals so that it can contribute to create

jobs and income of laborers;

Encouraging some services such as restaurant and other relaxation for workers at the

project area.

CO, VOCs.

According to project phase out, in Phase 1, there are 5,000 students and 500 teachers and

staffs. In Phase 2, there are 12,000 students and about 1,200 teachers and staffs

According to rapid polluted assessment Figure of World Health Organization (WHO) in

1993, types of transportation means will be as follows:

To calculate polluted substance generating from emission of transportation means during

this time, assuming road length is unlimited, polluted concentration on the ground at

distance x on direct wind direction axis with road will be defined according to the

following formula (Tran Ngoc Chan- Air pollution and emission treatment, volume 1-

Hence: from above results, it shown that polluted substance generating from transportation

means is lower than allowed standards.

b. Dust and emission generating from emergency generators

To provide electricity to university in case of power cut, project will install generators

0.4KV. Total consumed capacity is 8.25MVA (5.5 MVA for Phase 1 and 2.75 MVA for

Phase 2).

Emission

Fuel consumption of generators will be based on capacity and activities

In normal condition, emission generated when fully burning 1 l of DO oil is about 26 m3

Fuel quantity and emission when operating generators will be estimated as follows:

Table 46. Consumed fuel and emission of generators

Load and polluted concentration

Generator uses DO oil (0.05S), emission generating from generators mostly is SO2, NOx,

CO and dust. Discharging coefficient of polluted substances from generator was referred

from “Assessment of soil, water and air pollution source‖ - Part 1 Rapid Assessment of

Environmental Pollution of World Health Organization (WHO) in 1993.

Based upon emission, discharging coefficient of polluted substances, predictable volume

of Vietnamese - German University (VGU), it will be anticipated in the following table:

(QCVN 05: 2013/BTNMT: National Technical Norms on ambient air environment)

Calculated results shown that polluted concentration in emission is lower than allowed

limits (average of 1 hour) the in QCVN 05:2013/BTNMT. In addition, those generators

only operate in case of power cut. In the condition of power supply at Binh Duong, power

cut possibility is maximally 1 day/month. Hence, total polluted load from generators will

be considered as insignificant. Hence, natural ventilation method is applied, instead of

installation of an emission treatment system for those generators.

c. Emission from laboratory

Laboratory of Processing and Environment Faculty will use odorous, toxic chemicals such

as chlorine, CH4, H2S, acids, and some different compressed air. Even though the amount

of such compressed air discharged during implementing experiments is minor, it will

directly affect the health of students and staffs working here. In order to reduce impacts of

toxic chemical vapor, mitigation measures such as natural ventilation design, scientific

arrangement of working tables, installation of toxic gas suction devices and eliminators at

the bottle opening positions, using of chemicals containers and other laboratory operations

shall be applied.

83

d. Odor from canteen

Canteen, particularly at cooking place will be influenced by odor of oil, grease and food.

Therefore, it is necessary to apply natural ventilation method with expected results and

install de-odor and suction system.

e. Odor from waste storage and centralized wastewater collection and treatment system

This area will be influenced by odor caused by organic substances in digestible solid waste

and wastewater. Hence, waste storage will be designed according to the standards, and

collection and transportation of solid waste shall be implemented in daily basis to limit

impacts by odor from solid waste.

For wastewater collection and treatment system, centralized wastewater treatment plants

odors will disperse unpleasant smells due to the formation of NH3, H2S - odorous gases.

However, results of monthly monitoring of environmental quality in Bay Mau Lake

WWTP with capacity of 13,300 m3/day under the " Hanoi Drainage Project for

Environmental Improvement, 2nd

Project" showed that the concentration of NH3, H2S

odorous gases is not high, and falls within permissible limits. As a result, flow discharged

from the centralized wastewater treatment plant of the Vietnamese German University is

assessed not to be high. However, NH3, H2S gases are causing unpleasant smells, odor

minimization measures and odor treatment will be applied to limit the affect to activities of

students and officers of the University.

sanitary standards, 05 rules and 07 labour sanitation papameters.

f. Toilets:

For public toilets at University, due to high number of students, if those toilets were not

managed and monitored well by daily cleaning, they can create disturbing odor and create

environment for flies, mosquitoes and pathogens, affecting to air environment and health

of teachers, students, guests and staffs.

3.1.2.2. Impacts to water environment

a. Domestic wastewater

Total wastewater was calculated as over 80% domestic water supply sink, including

wastewater from sinks, toilets, floor, kitchen…The maximum volume of domestic

wastewater need to be treated in Phase 1 is: 737 m3/day. The average wastewater amount is

567 m3/day. It is expected that the amount of wastewater will be highest of 1.762 m3 /day

discharged from works in phase 2 and the average is 1.35 m3/day.

So, domestic wastewater amount of 737 m3/day (Phase 1) and about 1.762 m3/ day (phase

2) will lead to the water environment pollution in the area if it is discharged directly into

the environment.

84

According to Tran Duc Ha Researching Report B94-34-06, polluted concentration in

domestic wastewater will be as follows:

Table 50. Polluted concentration in domestic wastewater

No. Criteria Unit Concentration QCVN

14:2008/BTNMT

1 BOD5 mg/l 250 50

2 COD mg/l 315 -

5 NH3 mg/l 32 10

6 PO43-

mg/l 12,5 10

7 Coliform MNP/100ml 13.106

5.000

For wastewater from toilet, according pollution factor of World Health Organization

(WHO), volume of polluted substances in untreated domestic wastewater including toilet

wastewater discharged per each person/day will be as follows:

Table 51. Quantity polluted substances in wastewater toilet

Polluted substance Quantity (g/person/day)

BOD5 45-54

COD 72-102

SS 70-145

Grease and oil 10-30

Total N 6-12

Ammonia 2.4-4.8

Total P 0.8 – 4.0

At present, in the market, there are many high standard sanitary equipment with low water

consumption. University will invest that equipment to ensure sanitary conditions and

saving water.

Concentration of domestic wastewater is very high and cause negative impacts to

environment if direct discharging to the environment. To mitigate those impacts,

wastewater from toilet will be treated by 3-chamber septic tank then connect to combined

sewerage system to the centralized wastewater treatment plant.

b. Laboratory wastewater

Besides high volume of domestic wastewater, there is a small volume of wastewater from

laboratory, mostly from Processing and Environment Faculty. This wastewater contains

chemicals during testing. Lab wastewater contains very small amount of chemicals,

including liquid waste (is the solution used for chemical reactions) and water cleaning one

time laboratory instruments. This wastewater amount depends on the needs of scientific

research and its frequency of experiments of students. It is supposed that 200 students do

85

testing each day, each student use estimated amount 10 litersof wastewater containing

chemicals. So, total amount of wastewater containing toxic chemicals is about 02 m3/day.

Laboratory wastewater is featured by acidic or alkaline, containing metal ions, organic

substances, etc. Composition, nature and concentration of pollutants in laboratory

wastewater will vary according to the frequency, the purpose of implementation of various

samples. Analysis results of 01 laboratory wastewater sample taken by the Institute of

Science and Technology and Environment, Hanoi University of Science and Technology

shows that concentrations of metals are as follows:

Table 52. Concentrations of a number of metals in laboratory wastewater

Source: Lac Viet Investment, Environmental Technology and Engineering Infrastructure

JSC, July 2015

Wastewater of other experimental division of other faculties such as faculty of engineering

production and mechanics is generated by cooling process, cleaning of equipment and lab

equipment. This source of wastewater is not toxic and can be discharged into the combined

drainage system.

Wastewater sources having same types of pollutants shall be separated and taken to

primary treatment clusters under each building where labs are located.

It estimated that wastewater discharged from laboratory wastewater is approximately

5m3/day in Phase 1 project and about 10 m

3/day in Phase 2 of the project.

In order not to influence treatment process of centralized wastewater treatment plant,

laboratory wastewater will be treated preliminarily before connect to combined sewerage

system than to treatment plant.

c. Wastewater from medical center

Wastewater discharged from medical facilities, health centers and hospitals usually

contains a lot of toxic contaminants like blood, treatment chemicals, parasites, etc.

However, the University‘s medical centeronly provide examination, medicines or

injections, infusions, treatment of common diseases like colds, digestive ..., doesnot

perform surgery, treatment of particulardiseases, or use chemicals in treatment. So,

wastewater arising from this medical center is not hazardous. Wastewater in the area is

connected directly to the combined drainage system of the building, then to the centralized

wastewater treatment plant.

d. Wastewater from kitchen

Wastewater from kitchen contains high volume of oil, grease and cleaning chemicals.

Wastewater from this area will be pre-treated before connecting to combined wastewater

collection system of the project.

e. Surface storm water

Surface storm water according to the regulation is clean water. However, in the university

area, it can be polluted due to solid waste, leaked grease and oil. Hence, surface storm

water can directly be discharged to the environment after separating solid waste by

screened manholes and then flowing via channel to K1 Channel within the university area.

For the area planting flowers, trees and grass in university campus, if using too much

chemical fertilizers and pesticides in the area, rainwater runoff through the area may have

86

the risk of pollution caused by the penetration of plant protection chemicals as well as

increasing the risk of environmental contamination of soil and groundwater. However,

through discussions with VGU, method of care of trees, flowers in university campus

primarily is watering daily, combined with use of bio-fertilizers. In the case of detection of

pets will use biologic medications to reduce to the environmental pollution, especially the

limit of spread of chemical ordors. So it could be said the impactson water environment by

use of pesticides, crop protection chemicals and chemical fertilizers are negligible.

3.1.3.3. Source generating solid waste

During daily activities of VGU, it will generate waste that will be categorized as follows:

a. Non-hazardous waste:

This waste mostly is domestic solid waste from office, kitchen, restaurant, student

dormitory, teachers‘ houses, guest house and other public areas such as sport area, parking

lot, park, etc. Main component of these waste is solid waste, food (80%), gardening (cut

tree, grass), paper, newspaper, plastic bottles, glass, etc…

Taking reference from the theme on environmental protection of Hanoi Science and

Technology University, estimated domestic solid waste of VGU is shown in the following

table:

b. Hazardous waste

Waste considered as hazardous waste shall be separately collected and treated according to

requirement on managing hazardous waste, including:

- Reacted chemicals from laboratory

- Grease and oil, lubricant from maintenance activities

- Broken electrical equipment such as lamp, computers and boards

87

- Damage battery

- Sprayer

- Sludge from wastewater treatment system

- Broken lamp bulb

- Some medical waste such as wounded dressing, injector from health care room of

university.

The emission of such wastes is low and is not generated frequently. Refer to an

environmental protection scheme of Hanoi University of Science and Technology and the

scale of the project, hazardous waste of the project is estimated as follows:

B. Impacts not related to waste

3.1.3.4. Noise

Noise generating from the following sources:

- Noise due to activities of transportation means: from engine and vibration of

vehicle parts, from exhausted pipe, from vehicle doors, etc

- Noise from human travelling and speaking...

- Noise from pumps, motor, generator,..

This noise depends on type, density and space of vehicle parking lot.

Refer to documents; noise of different vehicles is different:

(Source: Pham Ngoc Dang, Air environment, Technical and Scientific Publisher, 1997)

QCVN 26:2010/BTNMT: National Technical Norm on noise)

Normally, noise reduction on the road depends upon distance, so if the distance from

listener to noise source is increased by two times, sound intensity will reduce to ¼ and

noise level will reduce to 6dBA.

Hence, comparing to allowed noise, noise of vehicles is over allowed standard. However,

noise of transportation means mostly happens during the day and for short time. This noise

mostly affected at the entrance and garage, and no significant impact to other areas.

- For noise caused by human travelling and talking, there is no significant impact.

- For noise at electric and mechanic equipment, it can be high such as at the area of

motor.

3.1.3.5. Impacts to socio-economic conditions

Negative impacts

- This project plays a key role in developing and improving quality of higher

education in Vietnam in general and in particular Pacific. This is a university of

technology based on German model that is known over the world and successfully.

The project aims to become the leading research university and this will impact

positively on national education system. Besides, project is likely to attract and

create jobs for intellectual human resources in the region.

- Good conditions to develop culture, improve regional education level

- Contribute to create jobs for some local people, increase income and improve living

standard from services such as food, entertainment, restaurant, hotel…

Negative impacts

- The increase in a large number of businessmen, traders can lead to security

disorder, increase in social evils, and risk of traffic accidents accordingly.

3.1.4. Assessment and forecast of impacts caused by risks and inccidents of the project

3.1.4.1.Impacts caused by risks and inccidents in construction stage

a) Labor safety:

The following may cause accidents in the course of construction:

90

- Environmental pollution will likely affect health of worker working at the site.

These phenomenon may occur such as: dizziness, fatigue, and even faint (often

occurring to women workers or people who have weak health).

- Travelling of transport vehicles at the construction site may lead to traffic

accidents.

- Operation of motor vehicles like cranes, unloading equipment, high-piled materials

may fall down and broken which maycause labor accidents.

- Construction on high floors if not secure can increase the likelihood of accidents

caused by falling and slipping from scaffolding, on-going construction buildings, ...

- Bolts, lightning wire zinc, saw blades and other small metal objects can be

scattered over internal roads of the project areas during the construction period and

it is hard for workers to able to avoid stepping on them.

- Accidents may occur deriving from contacting electrical sources such as

construction of electrical supply system, colliding on horizontal power lines ...

b) Risks of causing fire:

The construction of big items can have many causes of fires, such as:

- Temporary houses of workers may be burned if the workers are not careful while

cooking, smoking, buring during the construction of the plan.

- Fuel sources that easily cause fire and explosion such as (FO, DO) are available at

the site.

- Other fires may occur in the case of short circuit, lightning.

c) Risk due to UXO

In this project, the arising risks of remaining bomb definitely are no because (i) in process

of backfilling and construction of Thai Hoa industrial zone and residential area, Investor

Becamex have already carried out measures of searching and detecting bombs, (ii) after

Becamex handed over to Vietnam-Germany university construction project, PMU made a

contract on searching and detecting bombs again for entire area of the project with 20

meter of land depth. This contract has finished in 2013s

3.1.4.2. Impacts caused by risks and inccidents in the operation stage

a). Fire

- Explosion may occur in the laboratory depending on the ways to keep and do

testing with chemicals, chemical overflow causing or chemical safety issues.

- Potential fires may happen due to short circuit and electric burning.

- Fire and explosion may be caused by gas leakage in the kitchen or the use of gas,

compressed air in laboratory.

- Inccidents may occur at wastewater treatment areas because untreated wastewater

is discharged into K1 channel and lead to the pollution of K1 channel water, and

affect directly to the water sources of Tinh river.

b). Traffic inccidents

Traffic congestion may occur in the following cases:

- At peak hours, a large number of students going to and leaving school may cause

local traffic jams at the school gate on the NH. No. 13, Ring Road No.4.

91

- Traffic accidents in the area.

- Traffic inccidents will affect the aethsitic in the area as well as traffic activities and

daily life of people.

c) Potential impacts on community health

When VGU is put into operation, a large number of students and staff members will

concentrate here. They come from many different regions nationwide and may contract

various types of diseases if rules on hygiene and disease prevention are not implemented

strictly. This risk does not only happen with students, officials of the University but also

can spread to the community surrounding the University and Thoi Hoa ward residential

area.

3.2. Comments on detail level, reliability of assessment

3.2.1. Methods used for environmental impact assessment

List of methods for EIA

No. Assessment method Note

1 Statistic method

This method aims to collect and process the

data on meteorological, hydrological,

socioeconomic conditions in project area.

2 Sampling in the field and

laboratory analysis method

To determine the parameters of current status

of air quality and noise in project and

surrounding areas.

3

Rapid assessment method

This method is based on pollution ratio set by

World Health Organization to estimate

4 Standard comparison method To evaluate the impact based on

environmental criteria in Vietnam

5 Public consultation method

This method inherits comments on the

operation, implementation method and

proposal of hamlet 5C, 3 and Thoi Hoa

communal People's Committee where project

is located.

6 Chemical model method

This method is used to predict and foresee

impacts of the project during the

environmental impact assessment.

3.2.2. Remarks on detail, reliability of assessment and forecasted results

During the EIA report preparation, the Consultant has combined all methods above. The

report lists all activities of project from preparation to operation stage, as a result, the

environmental impact assessment could be seen. The report also shows volume and

concentration of pollutants caused by project which can be compared with current criteria

and norm in Vietnam. Data used in the report were taken from specialized reference,

widely used in environmental impact assessment and is valid.

92

The report also has statistic data on meteorological, socioeconomic conditions in

construction area that is rather complete and is updated according to official statistics of

Binh Duong, so it is highly reliable.

Surveying and measuring data comply with Vietnam regulations. However, these Figures

are only shown in certain time, not a long series, so they do not accurately reflect the

nature and represent current state of the environment in the project area. Therefore,

surveying data have low reliability.

The report uses public consultation method and receives written comments of Thoi Hoa

People's Committee. These are comments from project area, so the report mentions some

measures that suitable with local situation.

With an experienced team of consultants in preparation of EIA report for many years, it

can be said that results of evaluation and forecast that may occur during the project

construction are shown relatively adequate, realistic and high reliability.

93

CHAPTER 4

NEGATIVE IMPACT PREVENTION, MITIGATION MEASURES, AND RISK &

INCCIDENT PREVENTION, RESPONSE MEASURES OF THE PROJECT

4.1. Negative impact prevention and mitigation measures

4.1.1 Negative impact prevention and mitigation measures in the preparation stage

As mentioned above, compensation and ground clearance has been completed before

allocating land to Vietnam German University. Becamex compensated and relocated

households in project area, conducted leveling and planted trees along K1 channel in the

north and west. During construction, project has to cut down some existing trees. So, this

chapter mentions several solutions of planting trees, restoring ecosystem and landscape

lost in project area.

As planned, approximately 40% of land is used to plant trees, landscaping and restoring

ecosystem lost due to ground clearance. Trees in VNU will be chosen to suit local

conditions and meet standards of "Plan of using public green trees in urban areas".

Accordingly, green plants in university must ensure following properties:

- Large, widespread, shadow, impressive

- Trees for campus yard: Choose local plants with flowers and leaves. Tree species

are as many as possible for research and study.

- Limit fruit trees

- Do not choose plants with thorns, toxic latex. Do not use trees that attracts flies,

mosquitoes such as: banian tree

- Table name of tree, planting date, origin

However, trees are recommended to use in university, including:

- Terminalia catappa tree, flamboyant, cassia tora, cassia javanica tree, rose…

- Bonsai, local plants: rose, amplexicaul tea, orchird…

4.1.2 Negative impact prevention and mitigation measures in the construction stage

A. Impacts that relates to waste

4.1.2.1. Prevention measures of air pollution

On the construction site, the Construction Company will implement regulations on hygiene

and safety in accordance with current regulations. The following measures will be applied

to reduce air pollution:

- Use canvas to screen and avoid things that fall from height at building construction

area.

- Screening in the area:

+ To collect materials such as sand, cement, digging soil

+ The transportation vehicles carrying materials, construction waste that cause dust and

dirty to environment shall be covered with canvas, avoid bringing sludge to street.

- When implementing piling work, Construction Company considers selecting suitable

equipment: good status, periodic quality registration to minimize vibration, smoke, dust

and noise during operation.

94

- Idle machines/equipment are not allowed to stay on site.

- Construction Company commits not to use too old mechanical machines; machines

must meet environment criteria, traffic safety index and waste criteria TCVN

6438:2001 – Road transport – Allowable maximum limit of emission waste

concentration.

+ Emission waste standard of mechanical vehicles.

+ Noise standard of mechanical vehicles

+ Vibration standard of mechanical vehicles

- Arranging suitable wash stations when these vehicles come out of the site. Sprinklers

are arranged to spray water at site, and clean cars.

- To limit dust pollution in construction area, sprinkler used in irrigation and road wash

will be applied: Wet ground surface. Frequently wet the site ground surface in dry

season (2 times/day) to limit dust from transportation. Use cylinder sprinkler with

drainage holes that is evenly distributed on tube and has increasing diameter from

central to 2 ends. It will sprinkle more water and avoid erosion by reducing water

pressure on the surface. This equipment will be installed on vehicles instead of normal

sprinkler systems.

- Share shift, arrange working site during the day, limit working at night.

- Maintain equipment every 6 months

- Contractor often collects waste and cleans transportation roads and site.

- Limit construction and transportation from 21:00 to 6:00 to restrict effect on temporary

station of receiving addicts and residential areas along transport road.

- No construction and transportation in bad conditions (heavy rain, strong wind) reduce

spreading pollutants.

- Transport vehicles are not allowed to speed up and honk in residential areas.

- Provide training courses of safety and environment protection for truck drivers and

machine operation workers

- Well-manage and supervise construction site

- Surveying on air environment, noise, vibration to adjust and add suitable measures

during construction time.

Note: the project area is located at the corner of Ring Road 4 and Highway 13, it is

recommended to limit impacts on traffic in transporting materials, to arrange a gate in Ring

Road 4 or approach from D9 road that is near residential area Helmet 3 and not crowded to

reduce traffic jam and risk of accidents when vehicles come in and out of the site.

4.1.2.2 Mitigation Measures on water environment

a. Domestic water

During the construction stage, estimated officers and employees working in project area is

about 400-500 people on a shift working basis. Estimated wastewater is about 20-30 m3.

Therefore, in this stage, the Project owner will collect and carry out the treatment of

wastewater by installing 3-compartment or mobile septic tanks in camps (5 toilets at site),

which avoid direct discharge of domestic wastewater into the environment. This is simple

work, easy to perform, performance can reach at 60-65%.

95

After wastewater goes through sedimentation tank 1, it will continue to go through

sedimentation tank 2, and then be taken up by Binh Duong water supply drainage or Ben

Cat urban works Company, 1 time a week. With such waste estimation, septic tanks can be

designed approximately 3 m3 capacity, located in the south where executing phase 2 (area

has not been used in this stage).

Figure 8: Some models of mobile toilet

Minimize wastewater by hiring more local employees who have houses. Well-manage

human resource in this phase.

Frequently check, dredge to prevent sewerage pipelines from sludge and garbage. Do not

obstruct, cause waste as well as impact on water of K1 drainage channel.

b. For wastewater during construction

The construction contractors have committed that they will not discharge wastewater

directly to the project areas, arrange receiving and conducting pipes, which are expected to

be placed underground to ensure the landscape for the University, to lakes in the southern

of the Project to handle construction wastewater for sedimentation, and sludge then will be

discharged into K1 canal.

Construction of drainage system and preparation of standby pumps will ensure the

thorough drainage and prevent flooding during construction. The drainage for the

University shall be designed in a way to prevent potential obstacles, causing unpleasant

odors and unsanitary conditions.

Construction wastewater generated from activities such as car washing, mixing station,

material cleaning, etc will go along temporary sewerage ditches, flow to sludge settling

compartments and grease separators. One or two consecutive sedimentation holes of from

2 to 3 m3 shall be dug to settle suspended solid substances and residue in wastewater by

the Contractor. An oil-absorbing piece fabric will be placed at or surrounding locations

where wastewater coming in and coming out sedimentation holes. Oil will be absorbed

into the fabric. After it is fully absorbed, oil shall be taken out by squeezing, and then the

fabrics can be reused or dry cleaned before reusing. The fabric after disposal will be

collected and processed in accordance with regulations.

96

Figure 9: Some pictures of the oil filter fabrics

Oil filtering bag

Oil filter grid which do not hinder the flow

After settling, clear water can be discharged to the internal drainage ditches located inside

the industrial area and Thoi An residential area, or K1 canal going through the project. The

residues shall be outsourced and collected by the city sanitation unit or transported to the

waste dump site in Chanh Hoa ward by Ben Cat town urban enterprise. Lubricants and

other types of fuels used for equipment shall be kept carefully to prevent the overflow and

ensure regulations on safety.

Ensure that the construction shall be on schedule and prevent lengthening of construction

time in rainy seasons.

Cleaning of sites, camps, covering of material sites, disposal sites and petroleum shall be

taken on a daily basis to prevent the overflow of rainwater, bringing out materials and oils

which will lead to pollution of water sources.

The management of construction, fuels, oils, lubricants and maintenance of machine,

equipment should be taken strictly to prevent the leakage of oils coming to water sources.

4.1.2.3. Minimization caused by solid waste

a. Construction solid waste and domestic waste:

Solid waste in construction stage are mainly damaged materials such as debris, dead

concrete, damaged formwork, scrap of equipment outer... which are reused for leveling or

collected and transported to the waste dump at the landfill under an agreement between the

Project owner and local governments, or used for projects in the neighboring industrial

zones and residential areas of Thoi Hoa, My Phuoc 1,2,3 Industrial zone or treated by

Urban work Enterprise of Ben Cat town under a contract between this unit and contractors.

- Scrap, boxes, sheet metal, wood, protective steel for equipment outside are collected

and sold to scrap dealer;

- Domestic waste: prepare 5 barrels of 240L or 660L capacity at the site to collect

domestic waste on a daily basis, then contracts with urban transport enterprise of Ben

Cat town to transport to the waste dump site of the town for daily treatment.

b. Hazardous waste:

97

Hazardous waste in the construction phase consists of waste oil and greasy rags with small

amount. In any leakage of these kinds of oils and grease, rainwater will flow through all

kinds of these greasy rags which then get wet and, therefore, oil will seep into soil or into

waterways around the area along rainwater. This will affect the quality of quality of soil

and water environment. As a result, proper collection and management measures should be

applied in accordance with specific rules: different types of hazardous waste and other

wastes will be separated; arrange temporary storage for hazardous waste safety; pack,

preserve each kind of hazardous waste in dedicated containers, tanks, packs under the

requirements on safety, technical aspects, ensure no leakage, scattering or dispersion of

such hazardous waste into the environment; label on the outside with the following

information:

a) Name and code of hazardous waste according to the list of hazardous waste;

b) Name and address of owners of the waste sources;

c) Description of potential risks caused by waste;

d) Warning and prevention signs under the Vietnam standard TCVN6707-2000 on

"hazardous waste-warning and prevention signs;

e) Date of packaging and preserving.

Hazardous wastes shall have to be strictly preserved until functional units transport them to

treatment area. Containers on flat floors are temporary houses surrounding to avoid

rainwater infiltration which will lead to oil spill.

Used oil/ motor oil emitted by machines must be disposed of in separate bins and cannot

be discharge into the environment. Oil storage tanks at the construction site must be able to

prevent the leakage. The Contractors have to follow regulations to ensure that all

hazardous substances, including oil from drums or containers on the site will be labeled

and stored properly and don‘t allow oil or other pollutants to be able to access to

waterways or groundwater. On the construction site, with a monthly output of about 150-

300l waste oil, two containers of 500 liters should be prepared and a contract with a

functional unit, who is licensed with hazardous waste treatment, transport waste in 2-3

month periodically.

Rags or solid waste contaminated with oil are regarded as hazardous waste, however,

waste volume of an approximately of 5 kg/week is negligible and can be collected in

separate bins of 200l capacity, then transported by a licensed unit for treatment in

accordance with regulations. The volume of this waste is not much, mostly oily rag can be

burned in medical waste incinerators or cement rotary clinker.

In Binh Duong province, Binh Duong Water Supply, Sewerage and Environment

Company is one of the units who have been licensed in the field of collection, management

and disposal of hazardous waste and the prestigious unit in the locality. The Client can sign

a contract with this company for collection and disposal of hazardous waste services for

the project.

B. Impacts sources not related to waste

4.12.4. Mitigation measures for impacts of noise, vibration

Despite being rated as factors whose impacts are negligible, however, technical measures

should be applied in the course of construction to ensure that noise, vibration does not

exceed the prescribed standards:

- The installation of railing around the site is to minimize dust and ensure the safety of

construction sites, also contributes to minimization of noise impacts on nearby

residential areas. This measure can help reduce noise up to 15 dB.

- Advanced technology, special and dedicated construction machines, all trucks and

motor construction equipment will able to be operated if they meet the criteria as

required by the Registration Department on the level of technical safety and

environmentally safety. Construction motor equipment with low noise are encouraged.

- The construction equipment causing great noise such as hammers, drills, excavators ...

will not be operated during the period from 18 pm to 6 am the next day. If

construction at night is required to ensure the work progress, it must be approved by

local governments, and temporary noise and dust prevention shields for sensitive areas

must be installed.

- The construction equipment noise such as hammers, drills, excavators ... not be

allowed to operate during the period from 18 pm to 6 am curfew. If being constructed

at night to ensure the progress of the works must be approved by local governments

and temporary construction noise shields, dust for sensitive areas

- Equipment causing noise will be able to be operated in a short period of time in day

time only. Do not use many equipment causing noise and vibration at the same time to

avoid the cumulative impacts.

- Maintenance and inspection of construction equipment and transport vehicles should

be regularly taken to ensure environmental standards as prescribed. Avoid using

obsolete vehicles, machinery because they will create loud noise;

- For mandatory cases, when equipment causing noise and vibration is required, time

management shall be applied, which means that such equipment will be operated when

there is a lowest density of people and in a short period of time.

- Equip with necessary devices for workers to prevent noise such as noise earplugs, and

it is mandatory for workers when they are working.

- Install noise reduction device for machinery;

- Arrangement of appropriate vehicles also helps reduce traffic congestion, which also

causes noise.

- Applying pile jointing to reduce the noise level from 10-50 times compared with other

methods.

- Install metal fencing panels surrounding the site area;

- Construction Signaling System (road sign in front of road works, speed limit signal

5k/h, markers, rotating lights, etc.) are designed in compliance with provisions in the

Rules of road signs and signals No. 22TCN 237-01issued by the Ministry of Transport

under Decision No. 4393/2001/QD-BGTVT dated 20.12.2001 of the Ministry of

Transport. Materials of signboards are sheet metal signboards and luminous paint.

4.1.2.5. Prevention and minimization of security and social order issues

99

- Publicize the progress, construction schedule, and aggregate gradation on the site.

- Collaborate with the local government and relevant authorities to organize the program

such as education, consciousness advocacy for construction workers in the project;

introduce with migrant workers on local customs and practices of local people in order

to avoid misunderstandings between migrant workers and local residents.

- All workers have the cards for entrance in the project area to facilitate the management.

- Collaborate with the local government and relevant authorities for the management of

migrant workers who come and work in the province; and avoid theft, robbery of

materials and equipment used for construction and other assets;

4.1.3. Negative impact prevention and mitigation measures during operation

A. Impact sources related to waste

4.1.3.1. Environmental Impact Minimization caused by waste gases

Mitigation measures to impacts caused by vehicles

- Contact public bus service provider of the province and Becamex to make a cooperation

and development of bus routes which will connect VGU with the important places in

Binh Duong and Ho Chi Minh City with preferential fares for students and staff of

VGU in order to encourage the transportation by public vehicles, reduce personal cars

coming to the field and thereby limit congestion, and reduce emissions from vehicles.

- Design VGU entrance on Ring Road 4 to avoid car traffic on Highway No.13 and

reduce the risk of congestion which causes the increase of air pollution.

Mitigation measures to impacts caused by generators’ exhausted gas

- Install chimneys with an appropriate height for generators to avoid the dispersal of air

emissions at lower air level, and also helps dilute the concentration of pollutants when

spreading away.

- Periodically maintain generators;

- Use diesel with low sulfur content (0.05 S) (in the market there are 2 types of DO, 0.05

S and 0.25S). Use biodiesel when possible.

Mitigation measures to impacts caused by chemicals during testing

- Exhausted gas emission arise from small laboratories and on an infrequent basis.

Therefore, the natural ventilation for lab is the top priority. Besides, the project was

designed and equipped with dedicated hoods and ability handle chemical vapor in order

to ensure the health of people working in the laboratory.

- Collection and treatment of chemical vapor in the laboratory: Laboratory will arrange the

desks, working areas in a reasonable manner. Performance of laboratory operations,

openning and taking chemicals for laboratory activities which arise chemical vapor shall

be into a separate area where will be install a dedicated hoods with suitable capacity to

ensure all smoke and chemical vapor shall be suctioned.

- Structure of a suction consists of:

1) Gas system pipeline from the hood, collector of exhaust gases, chemical fumes in

the laboratory to the collector, silencer (Pvc tube, with D = 114 mm, 200mm,

250mm, 300mm, 350mm , 500mm, ...)

2) One way valve for each separated collection pipeline

3) Emission collector and silencer of PVC

100

4) Dedicated suction fans which can resist acid-base are installed for centralized

processor.

5) Adsorption (charcoal)

6) Water vapour hood (opposite direction gas and liquid processing)

7) Tube systems connecting devices in order to constitute a centralized exhaust gas

treatment systems.

Working principle of the hood: Exhaust air arising out from laboratory shall be

suctioned and collected into collecting equipment, silencer through the suction fan and

ordinary PVC tube system (resist chemical). Polluted emissions is handled by

specialized propeller fans (by PVC tube) which suction air from collection boxes,

silencer through tube system to two major parts of the system, namely: the adsorption -

filtration equipment, and absorption - filtration equipment. Use mist spray adsorption

solution that is in opposite direction to the emissions. The air soluble in water (acid

vapor, organic solvents vapor that is soluble in water) will be retained; adsorption

solution and laboratory waste are treated together. The exhaust air not soluble in water

shall be adsorbed by adsorption - filtration device containing activated carbon. Vapor

after coming out from absorbing device shall meet requirements under QCVN 05:

2013/BTNMT, QCVN 06: 2009/BTNMT)

Installation of hoods and deodorization of exhaust air In kitchen area before being

discharged to the outside

Handling odors from the centralized wastewater treatment plant

- In the concentrated wastewater treatment plant area, odor is arised mainly from

regulatory tank and anoxic treatment tank. To handle such smells, location of the

treatment plant is designed in a way to ensure the distance of 15 m away from other

works, including green belt 10. Smell will be handled by making regulatory tank and

anoxic treatment tank closed. Air generated will be collected through a tube and taken to

the high by the elevation of the tecnical building. At that time, these emissions will

disperse and diffuse into the air. This is a very effective solution, and is similar to the

ventlation for septic tank. Or we can install deodorizing equipment. This system consists

of:

+ Tube and suctionfan system is used to take exhaustair to the odor control

centre. Regulatory and anoxic treatment tanks are required to solve odor

problems.

+ Combination system for chemical treatment consists of: filters with chemical

feeding equipment (sodium hydroxide, sulfuric acid, hydrogen peroxide,

etc...)

+ Biological system: use microorganisms.

- Working principle of deodorizing equipment:

102

First, the air will go through the filter which is installed in front of the biological filtering

equipment. The filter contains circulating water through circulating pump. Water

evaporated is automatically compensated by the compensation system through which

wastewater is treated preliminary and make full moisture. Next, emissions will be pushed

through biological buffers. Biological buffers are mainly made of natural materials such as

fiber roots / pine bark, peat ... The surface of particles as well as surrounding water layers

are implanted by microorganisms. Residues will be adsorbed onto the surface of particles

as well as onto the water layers. At the same time, the microorganisms will transform the

odorous organic ingredients, produce energy, biomass as well as CO2 and H2O – main

outputs of metabolism.

The air exchange rate can be up to 6-12 times. After treated by deodorization system,

exhaust gas is cleaned completely and can be discharged into the environment.

Type of Device: It is a container type device - is a prefabricated steel double-walled

rectangular. The outside is painted and the inside is wrapped in polyethylene. Containers

will be installed on reinforced concrete footings.

Basic parameters:

+ Number of unit: 2

+ Capacity: 3.750m3/h

Garbage collection area is designed to ensure the aeration. Waste will be collected and

transported daily by Urban Work Enterprise of Ben Cat town or other functional units in

the province.

4.1.3.2. Environmental Impact Minimization caused by wastewater

Environmental Impact Minimization caused by wastewater will access in 3R direction:

Reduce-Reuse-Recycle.

Increase of awareness

- Organize campaigns to raise awareness of students and staffs who are learning and

working in VGU on water saving. The contents will include the following:

- Domestic water should not be used for other purposes;

- Change bad habits of using water (such as bathing in short time, closing water taps

while brushing teeth or if don‘t use water, etc)

- Disseminate water recycling program of VGU.

- Such propaganda can be integrated with other contents such as reduction of water

generated, power saving. etc.

Wastewater treatment in laboratory

- Entire laboratory wastewater is collected separately and is pre-treated by chemical and

physical methods such as flocculation, neutralization, then connected to the combined

wastewater collection system of VGU and discharged to the concentrated wastewater

treatment station for treatment to reach Class A, QCVN 14: 2008 / BTNMT before

being discharged into the environment.

Premilinary treatment option: Depending on sources of arising, laboratory wastewater

will be collected in clusters (5 clusters) and pretreated for each cluster. The premilinary

treatment tanks were built underground, just below the building where laboratory is

located. Currently, the expected area for the construction of each treatment cluster is

around 4 m2.

103

Perform the neutralization and precipitation reactions to remove metals from wastewater.

Therefore, during construction, each treatment tank is divided into small compartments

suitable for wastewater treatment in each separate collection cluster.

A premilimary treatment facility in laboratory can be shown as follows:

Wastewater treatment from kitchen

Wastewater from kitchen sinks, floor cleaning will be discharged into steel groove

system on the floor, and then flowed into receiving pits in the kitchen, which collect

kinds of dirt, waste with large diameters in order not avoid the clogging of drainage

pipes. Water collected from pits in the kitchen will be released to the grease trap.

According the QVCN, wastewaterdischarged from the kitchen contains a lot of grease

and leftovers, it is necessary to construct grease traps to ensure thatdischarged

wastewater will not contain fat and to avoid clogging. After filtering by the grease trap,

wastewaterwill be discharged tomanholes of the combineddrainage system, then to the

concentrated treatment plant. Grease trap is designed to ensure the water retention for 1-2

hours.

Operating principle of the grease trap: Install grease trap on thedrainage way.

Wastewater will flow directly into the grease trap after passing through the sieve layes

inside the grease trap in order to retain dregs and impurities such as bone fragments,

vegetables, plastic bags, etc. After that, wastewater containing grease will go into the

second compartment, where its time retention of 1-2 hours is enough for grease to float

on the water surface, and oil accumulated gradually forms a layer on the water surface,

periodically use valve to discharge such oil out. After that, water will be draind into the

sewer system to the centralized wastewater treatment plant. Such amount of oil extracted

will be collected and processed together with daily domestic waste by urban work by

enterprise of the town.

Treatment of wastewater from sanitary area

Wastewater from toilets, urine tubs is collected and treated with 3-compartment septic

tank installed in buildings, then connected to the combined collection system to the

centralized treatment plant.

Wastewater from medical center: As assessed in the Chapter 3, the Medical center of

the University jus provide conventional medical care, not perform the surgery, or

treatment of diseases that involvetoxic chemicals, so wastewater from the medical

center is non-toxic and can be connected to the combined sewerage system and

transported to the centralized wastewater treatment plant.

Reuse of water

Wastewater of VGU shall be treated for reuse purposes instead of discharging all.

Reused water will be utilized for other purposes such as watering, water tower, and

water for flushing in toilets.

According to calculations of the project, the largest wastewater flow in phase 1 is 737

m3/day, while the non-potable water demand (water reuse) is 862,598 m3. Thus, it can

be seen in the phase 1 of the project, the entire amount of waste being treated at the

centralized plant will be reused and shall not be discharged into the environment.

In phase 2 of the project, the largest wastewater flow is 1,762 m3 / day, and the non-

potable water demand is 430 m3/day. Thus, in phase 2 of the project, the amount of

wastewater after being treated and discharged into the environment is about 1,332 m3 /

day.

Concentrated treatment plant

The drainage system is collected by both methods, which are gravity and pressure

pipes and will collect entire domestic wastewater. The majority of wastewater will

flow by gravity to the wastewater collection system, howerver, lifting stations will

be installed for buildings in the North. Wastewater after treatment will meet column

A, QCVN 14:2008/BTNMT, and most of treated wastewater is reused for different

purposes, the remaining will be discharged into the canal K1 at coordinate (X =

1228688.4966; Y = 594402.8061).

Wastewater collection shall be presented in the following figure.

The calculations of the project show that the average wastewater flow of phase 1 is 567 m3

/day, and the largest wastewater flow is 737 m3/day.

Phase 2 of the Project: the average discharge of wastewater from buildings in phase 2 of

the project is 1,355 m3 and the largest wastewater flow is 1,762 m3/day.

In phase 1, a wastewater treatment plant of 1000 m3/day will be used under the project and

apply the bioremediation method to treat the entire volume of wastewater generated in

phase 1. The wastewater treatment plant for Phase 2 will be built simultaneously with other

construction works of Phase 2 of the project. It is expected that the capacity of the

treatment plant of Phase 1 will be upgraded and still use this technology, but a new module

with the capacity to meet the demand of wastewater treatment of the Project‘s phase 2 will

be constructed.

107

Figure 13: Wastewater Treatment Technological line

Operating principle of the centralized Wastewater Treatment Technological line is as

follows:

After being preliminarily treated at its sources, wastewater generated from laboratory,

kitchen, toilet wastewater will be connected to the sewer system of the whole univeristy

and total wastewater will be taken to the centralized treatment plant for processing.

Wastewater shall flow through the automatic raw and fined waste trash rack in order to

separate waste before being discharged into sand filter and wastewater pumping pits.

Waste from raw and fined trash racks shall be collected into plastic bags and discharged

with solidwaste.

Then, wastewater is pumped to the conditioning tank to make balance the wastewater flow

and organic matter before being pumped to the anoxic tank. Nitrogen in wastewater will be

treated in this tank. Anoxic tank will be installed with mixing machines to continuously stir

wastewater into tanks. After the anoxic tank, wastewater will come to the aeration tank to

perform the biological treatment. In the aeration tank, aerobic microorganisms oxidizes

organic components in wastewater to become less harmful substances. Air is supplied by

the nozzles placed in the tank to increase the efficiency of the biological treatment. To

increase treatment efficiency of nitrogen, two hundred percent of wastewater in the

Wastewater reaches to value C, column A – QCVN 14:2008/MONRE and able to

reuse or discharge out at the discharging point (Channel K1)

aeration tank is circulating to the anoxic tank. After the biological treatment, wastewater

enters the secondary clarifier to separate sludge from wastewater. Wastewater then goes

into an disinfection tank where chlorine is provided to ensure the destruction of the

remaining microorganisms in wastewater. Disinfected wastewater will pass through the

pressure filter to increase quality of wastewater for other reuse purposes. Pressure filter is

used to remove suspended solids, control phosphorus and nitrogen.

Besides, in the secondary settling tank, sludge will settle and be compressed in the hopper

of the tank. The sludge is then pumped periodically to the sludge compression tank prior to

the sludge tank. Sludge after being out of compression tank usually have a moisture about

from 95% to 50 %, concentration of 1.5%. Then sludge is pumped through sludge

dewatering machine. After being pressed, sludge with humidity of about 43% to 85%, the

concentration from 15% to 25%, is contained in plastic bags and transported to solid waste

treatment site of the town for buried or used for other purposes.

In case of incidents, such accidents can occur in the anoxic and aerobic tank, and during

the air supply. Then the sewage system will not work properly asper the designed

technology,and the quality of effluent is not guaranteed to be reused. Non-potable water

supply using reused water will be replaced temporarily by drinking water source.

Wastewateris treated unsatisfactorilyfor the reuse will be discharged into the environment -

receiving channel K1. However, during the dry season, the water flow in channel K1 is

low, that does not guarantee the ability to dilute the wastewater. Therefore, in order to

minimize the impacts on the quality of surface water channel K1, wastewater before

discharging into this channel will be pumped from the tank into the pressure filter to

minimizeconcentration of suspended solids and some other pollutants in wastewater.

Rainwater

Rainwater drainage system is calculated on the basis of sustainable development, paying

attention to the drainage, water reuse, minimization of wastewater and environmental

proection with the design called "Water Sensitive Urban Design"(WSUD). The WSUD

have many environmental benefits, including the improvement of urban landscape,

reducing pollution and slow down stormwater runoff and decreasing the need for

irrigation. Surface rainwater from the entire southern region of the Project is collected to

the concentrated lake in the South of the Project. The lake is used to slow down the flow of

rainwater in biggest rainy period with 10-year cycle. Rainwater in the project will be

collected by the sump pit and water receiving pits. All internal roads in the project are

provided with the stormwater system. Rainwater collected is led by gravity or pressure

pipe to the rainwater regulatory tank and stormwater treatment system, including:

o Manholes with sediment container at the bottom and trash screens at all points of

flushing out the sewer system from the seepage pit;

o Grease trap/mechanical oil system;

o Tank for slowing underground rainwater;

o Resettling lagoon;

o Biology permeability system;

o Filtering areas for planting trees.

80% of suspended solids of rainwater collected from the impervious area of the project

will be removed before being discharged into the drainage canal, or come to the lower

position on the site or connected to the watering system where rainwater is returned to the

environment through evaporation or seepage. Stormwater discharged into the ground or the

canal will be less after going through irrigation systems to ensure the flow and volume

flow through the system that will not be larger than previous peak flow and volume flow

before going through the system. The maximum distance between manholes is 20m - 60m,

depending on pipe diameter. The slope along the sewer line is 0003-0005.

Positions of rainwater discharge: rainwater is discharged into K1 canal in the North and

South areas.

Therefore, if pollution sources coming from domestic wastewater and pollutants in

rainwater are treated thoroughly, quality of K1 surface water, where is the receiving points

of treated wastewater and overflowed rainwater on VGU surface, will not be affected by

pollution factors.

4.1.3.3. Environmental Impact Minimization caused by solid waste

a. Domestic solid waste

VGU aims at providing domestic solid waste in 3 R: Reduce – Reuse – Recycle. To

achieve this, the following should be applied:

(i). Construction of waste classification at sources

VGU has equipped two kinds of rubbish bins: the green contain organic waste, and the

yellow contains remainders. Or in other places, 3 compartment bin can be used for storage

of recyclable waste. The bins are placed in dormitories, faculty housing, offices, campuses

and public areas. Bins with covers are used to minimize the spreading of smell and avoid

rodents. This bins come in many sizes, different forms to suit each specific place.

111

Figure 14: A number of rubbish bins can be used for buildings

Every day, housekeeping staff of VGU will collect organic waste and other waste, then

transport to collecting points. Bins of from 140 - 240 liters capacity with wheels and lids to

collect garbage from the smaller can be used. This will be easy for them to pull to garbage

collecting location of the University.

Buildings of the University are not too high, gabarge collection pipeline system is not

constructed for each building. The garbage collecttion shall be done by sanitation worker

by gathering it in large bins from 140 -240 liters with wheels, lids and transporting down

through the elevator system.

112

Figure 15: Some bins with wheels and lids are used for waste collection and

transportation to waste gathering site

VGU will sign a contract with a functional unit who will perform the services for daily

collection and transportation of waste under regulations. It is expected that the waste

garthering points will be constructed insite technical engineering works with an area of

approprimately of 600m2. The design of such works will have cover, high elevation and

sewerage ditches, system to collect and transport wastewater or wastewater from floor

cleaning to concentrated wastewater treatment of VGU.

(ii). Increasre awareness

Organize campaigns for students and staff who are learing and working at the University

on minimization of waste issues and waste classiffication at source.

b. For hazadous waste

Waste considered as hazardous must be collected and properly treated under current

regulations of the Government on the management and disposal of hazardous solid waste:

- Hazardous solid waste must be collected and stored in containers to separate with non-

hazardous waste, and containers should be painted with warning signs of danger;

- Chemical waste from laboratories must be kept under strict safety regulations on

chemical and biological subtances. These regulations must be disseminated for those

working in the laboratory;

- all types of hazardous waste must be lablled as prescribed;

113

- Registration of hazardous waste generators with the Department of Natural Resources

and Environment of Binh Duong province; Types of hazardous waste generated from

these sources will be collected and gathered in separated bins for hazardous waste at

general waste gathering points of the University.

- Contract with functional units for collection and treatment of hazardous waste in

accordance with current regulations. This unit must be licensed to collect and transport

hazardous waste issued by the licensing authority (Binh Duong Water Supply,

Sewerage and Environment Company).

B. Sources of impacts that are not related to waste

4.1.3.4. Culture - society impact mitigation measures to in the area

- According to the above assessment, in the long run when the project is put into

operation, there will have many positive impacts on socioeconomic conditions in the

region. However, it is unadvoidable with negative effects but they will be at low

levels. In order to restrict negative impacts of the project to a minimum level, the

following plan has been set out: the University Management Board ensure the

compliance with the "Cultural lifestyle, urban civilization‖ which related to the

addressing of violations as stipulated by the town.

- Determining specific provisions on rules of University, learning rules and activities of

students. Besides, the Cultural lifestyle, urban civilizationwill cooperate with the Thoi

Hoa CPC to ensure the security in the region in order to avoid changing the living

conditions of people in the region.

- The University also set out the rules for meals, accommodation and activities of

students;

- For boarding students: The University Management Board shall establish the

dormitory management unit, which students have to abide with the distribution of

University accommodation. Do not arbitrarily change the accommodation, students in

other rooms are not allowed to come and sleep in others; do not move the furniture in

the room. Accommodations must ensure in a neat, clean and order manner. Each

student must have a sense of protection, preservation of buildings, home equipment.

Do not write texts or stick paper on the wall. Must abide by the regulations on power

savings, when there is any power failure, report promptly to the dorm management

board; absolutely do not repair or connect other equipment power consumption; use

and keep maintenance ancillary works, prevent fire, ensure general hygiene in public,

keep firefighting equipment; don‘t create screaming loud in the dorm ... Perform well

regulations on management of boarding students.

- All boarding students must register temporary residence with the University according

to the residence law;

- Management organization of dormitory:

- For non-boarding students: students are subject to the management of the University,

local authorities and are obliged to strictly implement the guidelines, policies and laws

and regulations of the state and University as well as local governments in the

management of non-boarding students. Seriously implement regulations on

management of non-boarding students issued by the Ministry of Education and

Training (Decision No. 43/2002-QD-BGDDT 22.10.2002).

- Besides, the University also stipulates a number of regulations that students are not

allowed to do:

+ Cause offence to dignity, honor or abuse the body of teachers, staff, University

staff and other students.

+ Fraud in learning such as cheating, bringing materials into the examination,

asking for point; learning, doing tests, being on probation for someone else or

ask someone else to learn, do test, be on probation, be on duty; copying, asking

CHAPTER 5

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND MONITORING PROGRAM

5.1. Environmental Management Program

5.1.1. Responsible units

The implementation of the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for the project must

comply with the regulations of Vietnam and meet requirements on safeguards of the World

Bank's policies. The following units will be involved in the EMP of the project:

i. Project Management Unit (PMU)

The PMU is the focal contact between relevant agencies at the national level, the provincial

level, and local towns where project implementation is undertaken; and is the unit taking

prime responsibility for the implementation and monitoring of the Environmental

Management Plan (EMP). The PMU should arrange one or two specialized staff to perform

necessary tasks. The PMU will officially appoint qualified members serving as

environmental staff, who will perform environmental monitoring in the entire process of

project implementation, to ensure that the environmental plan outlined in the approved EIA

report will be implemented in a sufficient way.

Local people of the project area will also participate in the monitoring of compliance with

the management plan, environmental protection during the project implementation. The

PMU also need to work closely with environmental staff of DONRE, the Natural Resources

and Environment Office of Ben Cat Town in the management, operation and supervision of

the project.

To ensure the compliance with the EMP, the PMU should monitor contractors in

implementing mitigation measures. For environmental monitoring, PMU‘s tasks are as

follows:

- Monitor project performance indicators relating to environmental issues;

- Regularly check to make sure that contractors are implementing mitigation measures as

specified in the construction contract;

- Review periodic reports prepared by construction management consultant (CMC) to

ensure the compliance with mitigation measures;

- Review reports made by the construction supervision consultant (CSC) of the overall

impacts of the sub-project;

- Based on the report of the CMC, the PMU will report to WB and DONRE on

environmental compliance of the sub-project, which is part of the semi-annual progress

report submitted to WB;

- PMU should closely coordinate with relevant agencies in charge of water supply,

sanitation, waste collection, etc to monitor the operation and maintenance during the

project operation;

Because the EMP implementation needs to conduct the environmental quality monitoring in

the course of the project implementation, the PMU will engage functional units to support

the monitoring of environmental parameters in order to make an evaluation of the general

impacts of the project and will be responsbilefor making environmental monitoring reports

filed to DONRE and WB.

ii. Constuction Monitoring Consultant (CMC)

122

The main tasks of Constuction Monitoring Consultant (CMC) include: monitoring the order

and procedures for basic construction including the compliance with EMP, monitoring the

implementaion of environmental impact mitigation measures performed by contractors as

described in the EIA report. These tasks will be detailed in the Terms of Reference of the

CMC and the contract between the PMU and CMC which should be reviewed and agreed by

the World Bank without any objection. Under the guidance of the PMU, the main tasks of

CMC in monitoring and environmental mitigation include but not limited to:

- Support, collaborate with the Environmental specialized staff of PMU in establishing,

collecting and providing information on the environmental criteria required in the field

and information on the project implementation;

- Ensure construction activities are carried out in a way that fully complies with the

approved EMP and the relevant norms and standard operating procedures as provided in

the contract documents for the mitigation and monitoring of environmental impacts;

- Monitor the implementation of the mitigation measures of contractors, promptly propose

and implement additional interventions to complete the mitigation measures to meet the

safety requirements on environment management of the project;

- Prepare an action plan/emergency plan to deal with environmental issues, potential

emergencies and damages that may occur during the construction stage;

- Give recommendation to the PMU for a part or whole suspension of the construction if

the construction does not meet the requirements on occupational safety and

environmental protection as agreed or stipulated in the contract;

- Organize regular meetings to coordinate with stakeholders of the project in order to

provide information and implementation plans as well as necessary working program of

the project. These aim at raising awareness of environmental protection in construction

of project items.

iii. Construction contractors

Construction Contractors shall be responsible for implementing Environmental Impact

mitigation measures and complying with the approved EMP during the construction of

project packages. While preparing technical proposals, the contractors will be given a chance

to assess to and study EIA report approved by the Project and then, to propose in their

proposals an Environmental Management Plan, including environmental protection measures

and environmental impacts mitigation measures which are consistent with the approved EIA

report.

The environmental management plan of contractors will be submitted to the PMU and CMC

to review any changes (if any) in terms of legislation (laws, decrees, circulars and other

regulations), feasibility or necessary adjustments in each particular case at the site. During

the construction stage, construction contractors will be subject to strict supervision of the

PMU, the CMC, the environmental authorities and the local community regarding the

compliance with EMP.

5.3. Environmental compliance framework

A compliance framework, based on the environmental requirements established by the

EMP and Environmental Specifications included in bidding documents, will be strictly

enforced by Supervision engineers. Minor and major infringements will be determined

according to the following categorization table:

Category of Infringement Definition Remediation

Minor Infringement Incident which causes

temporary but reversible

damage to the environment,

community property, people.

Minor clean up operations

Minor restoration

activities

Adjustments/eliminations

to construction practices

Compliance with EMP

Major Infringement Incident where there is long-

term or irreversible damage

to the environment,

community property, and

people

Major clean up operations

Major restoration

requiring engineering

measures

Major restoration of

community property

Compensation to affected

communities or persons.

For minor infringements—an incident which causes temporary but reversible damage—the

contractor will be given a reasonable period of time to remediate the problem and to

restore the environment. If restoration is done satisfactorily during this period, no further

actions will be taken. If it is not done during this period, the PMU will immediately

arrange for another contractor to do the restoration, and deduct the cost from the offending

contractor‘s next payment. For major infringements—an incident where there is long-term

or irreversible damage—there will be a financial penalty in addition to the cost for

restoration activities. To minimize the damage, the restoration activities will be

implemented without delay.

The compliance framework will be applied as follows:

- The CMC will identify or be notified of an infringement (community member,

local government)

- The CMC in consultation with relevant stakeholders will assess whether it is a

minor or major infringement.

For minor infringements:

- The CMC will establish the required mitigation measures, and the time period,

which is a maximum of five days to remedy the situation.

- The CMC will review the recommendation and confirm (i) the level of

infringement (minor/major); (ii) the mitigation measures; and (iii) the mitigation

time period. If they do not agree, they will work with the PMU to reach mutually

acceptable recommendations.

144

- The Contractor will be informed of the infringement, the required mitigation

measures, and time period for resolution.

- The Contractor shall remedy the infringement in accordance with the

recommendations within the agreed time period.

- The CMC shall confirm the infringement is satisfactory remedied in the time

period.

- If the infringement is not remedied satisfactorily in the time period the CMC shall

inform the PMU. The PMU shall immediately arrange for a separate contractor to

undertake the necessary works and the cost of this shall be deducted from the next

payment to the offending contractor.

For significant infringements:

- The CMC shall immediately inform the PMU of the incident

- The PMU shall inform the appropriate provincial authorities if appropriate

- The PMU, in consultation with the CMC and other provincial authorities as

appropriate, shall agree upon mitigation and clean up measures to be undertaken

immediately by the contractor or by specialists to be procured at the contractor‘s

expense. To minimize the environmental impacts the restoration activities should

be completed within ten days.

- The PMU shall apply a financial penalty, not to exceed 1% of the contract cost, for

each major infringement, in addition to any costs associated with the infringement

not borne by the contractor.

Any conflicts between the Contractor and CMC shall be resolved by the PMU.

CONCLUSION, RECOMMENDATION AND COMMITMENT

1. Conclusion

The Construction of Vietnamese - German University Project plays an important role in

developing and improving the quality of higher and postgraduate education in Vietnam in

general and in Binh Duong in particular. This is an engineering university under the

German model - a widely known and very successful model in the world. The objective is

to make VGU become a leading research university, bringing about positive impacts on the

country's education system. The project will also attract and create jobs for talented human

resources in the area.

The environmental impact assessment report of the Vietnamese - German University

construction project has identified and listed the entire environmental impacts in the site

preparation stage, construction stage and operation stage, from which mitigation measures

and environmental management and monitoring program will be prepared.

Within the scale of Vietnamese - German University, the environmental impacts arising

from construction and operation stage are not big, but the impacts of air emissions,

wastewater, solid waste and environmental risks and incidents should be paid attention.

However, these impacts can be prevented and minimized. Negative impact mitigation

measures as well as prevention of environmental incidents as proposed are highly feasible

and lies in the ability of the VGU.

No. 43/CV-UBND

Subject: Comments on the New Model

University Project

Hanoi, 24 April, 2015

Attn: PMU of the New Model University Project

We, Thoi Hoa Ward PC received the summary of main investment items, environmental

issues, and environmental protection solutions of the Project enclosed to your Letter No. 65/CV-

DADHVD dated 20 April, 2015 from the PMU of Vietnamese German University Construction

Project. After reviewing these mentioned documents, we have the following opinions:

1. Negative impacts of the Project to the Socio-economic situation and the

environment:

According to the Summary of the EIA Report of New Model University Project, total

construction area is about 50.5 hectares, and the project will be constructed within 24 months.

Therefore, the machines and transport vehicles used in the Project will create noise, increase

concentration of dust in the air, traffic accidents on transportation roads and project‘s

surrounding area during the construction period.

The concentration of about 650 construction workers will probably cause social and

security disorders, arise conflicts between workers and local people, as well as increase social

evils.

2. Environmental Impact Mitigation Measures of the Project

Vechiles transporting construction materials need to be covered tightly in order to

prevent materials from falling down on transport roads. Construction materials should be

gathered neatly inside construction sites which should be installed with shielding meshes.

Signboards and traffic signs should be arranged at entry and exit locations where are

intersections between the sites and NH 13 and Ring Road 4.

The cooperation with the local authority is highly encouraged in order to manage

construction workers at the sites well.

3. Recommendation to the Employer:

The Employer is requested to implement the environmental monitoring effectively as in

accordance with the EIA summary Report of the Vietnamese German University Construction

Project in construction and operation periods.

Additionally, the Employer is requested to promptly finalize the EIA Report of the

Project and carry out next steps for the early approval and implementation.

The above comments are made by Thoi Hoa WPC. The PMU of Vietnamese German

University Construction Project is requested to review and finalize the IEA report of the Project.

Contents of the Meeting:

1. Introduce participants and purposes of the meeting: mobilize the enthusiastic

participation of the community in the design preparatory period and project

implementation period; get community opinions in the project preparation period.

2. Provide brief information about the Vietnamese German University Construction

Project (scale, plans, funds, implementation period);

3. Give summary impacts to the natural environment and society during the project

implementation.

4. Get community opinions in the project areas and feedback from the Employer and

Consultant.

Contents discussed in the meeting;

- The Project mostly bring about positive impacts such as: contribution to the increase of

education and higher education quality in Vietnam and in locality as well as in the region.

- The Project contributes to the socio-economic development in the locality, create jobs for

laborers in the locality, and enhance the economic development in which increase types of

services.

However, the Project will cause some impacts to the natural environment and society where the

Project is implemented:

- Construction machines, transport vehicles will create noise, increase concentration of dust in

the air on transportation roads and surrounding areas;

241

- A large number of vehicles transporting construction materials will be mobilized for the

construction activities, which will increase the traffic density on NH 13 and ring road 4, and

high risk of traffic accidents.

- The concentration of construction workers will probably cause social and security disorders

in the locality, arise conflicts between workers and local people, as well as increase social

evils.

Therefore, the Employer is requested to strictly comply with environmental impact mitigation

measures as proposed in the EIA report as follows:

- Vehicles transporting construction materials need to be covered tightly in order to prevent

materials from falling down on transport roads. Construction materials should be gathered

neatly inside construction sites which should be installed with shielding meshes. Signboards

and traffic signs should be arranged at entry and exit locations where are intersections

between the sites and NH 13 and Ring Road 4.

- The cooperation with the local authority is highly encouraged in order to manage

construction workers at the sites well.

Conclusions: Thoi Hoa WPC and residential community in the project areas both support the project

implementation in the locality.

Thoi Hoa WPC kindly requests the PMU of VGU Construction Project to promptly finalize

the EIA Report of the project and implement next steps so that the Project will be approved

soon and implemented.

The meeting ended at 10:30 of the same date. The minute, after being read loudly in front of

participants, is agreed and signed by all stakeholders.
