I. GENERAL INTRODUCTION

The subproject “Jointing 110kV line at 220kV Bim Son substation - Thanh Hoa province”

is one of the subprojects that will be implemented in Phase I of the Distribution Efficiency

Project (DEP) of Electricity of Viet Nam Corporation funded by the World Bank. The subproject

will be implemented in Bac Son District, Bim Son Town, Thanh Hoa Province.

The activities of the subproject include: Rehabilitation and newly construction of two

110kV branches and jointing to the existing lines. The first branch is to Ninh Binh, Bim Son with

a total length of 3.537 km (4 circuit line). The second ones is to Ha Trung with a total length of

1.67km (2 circuit line). These activities can cause negative impacts on the environment and local

communities in the period of pre-construction, construction and operation.

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

implementation and compliance with policies on environment assessment of World Bank -

(OP/BP 4.01), Environment Management Plan (EMP) of project had been prepared in

accordance with the guidance of the Environment Management Framework (EMF) of DEP. This

EMP includes: project description, policy framework, regulations of environmental technical, the

potential negative impacts, the proposed mitigation methods will be implemented in the periods

of pre-construction, construction and operation, implementation arrangements. EMP also

includes Environmental Codes of Practice (ECOP) will be incorporated into tender documents

and contract, attached with environmental monitoring.

To comply with the government environmental management regulation the subproject

needs to prepare an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). The EIA of the subproject is being

prepared in parallel with the preparation of the EMP.

government, all people have access to clean water, electric lighting. The project will contribute

directly and indirectly improve the lives of local people by providing electricity for production,

local economic development, lighting of public works.

The project is not located in area of historic, cultural - social facilities as well as security

and defense.

V. SUBPROJECT POTENTIAL IMPACTS

5.1. Environmental screening:

Table 5.1. Environmental impact assessments

Screening Question Yes No Remarks

1. Is project located near or in

sensitive area with regards to?

Cultural heritage X The project power line would not go

through the culture or history works so

it has no impact.

Reservation zone X The project’s power line would not go

through the conservation areas so it

has no impact.

Wetlands X The project’s line would mainly go

through the hill so they does not go

through the wetlands.

Forests X The project’s line would not go through

the forests so it has no impact.

Estuary X The project’s line would not go through

the estuaries so it has no impact.

Reservation buffer zone X The project’s line would not go through




the buffer zone of protection areas so it

has no impact.

Rivers and reservoirs

X Line from pole No 9 to pole No 10 goes

through lake. There is no foundation

next to lake. The impact is considered

to be small.

Canaland irrigation network X The project’s line goes through some

canal but they are not the location to

build foundation for the poles so it has

no impact.

2. Potential environmental impact,

by project?

Intrusion to cultural and historical sites X The project’s line does not go through

areas that have the culture or history

works so it has no impact.

Encroachment on critical ecosystem

(e.g. sensitive or protected area,

national park, nature reserve etc....)

X The project’s line does not go through

the conservation areas so it has no

impact.

Intrusion to ecosystem (ex: nature

reserve, national park)

X Because of corridor clearance, there

will be small changes in landscape and

increase waste. However, impact is low

and mitigation measures will be

applied. .

Affecting landscape and resulting in

waste

Undermining vegetation cover or

cutting down trees for site during site

clearance for substations and along the

transmission line?

X The route mainly goes through the

average high and low hill, most land

areas are using to plant corn, potatoes,

cassava, sugar cane and short-term

fruit-tree such as pineapple, so it is

unnecessary to cut down them (the

vegetation cover is only impacted at

foundation positions)

Change surface water quality or river

course

X The route does not go through any

river, pond or lake so it has no impact.

Increase water turbidity due to

change in surface water quality

or erosion

X The excavated soil (1,318 m3) will be

given to inhabitant in subproject area

to plant tree and farm produce. There

fore, there is no excavated soil after




completing the subproject.

Because the topography where the line

passes through is mainly the average

high and low hilly and mountainous

areas, while constructing if in the

raining season without projection

measure for the foundation it will cause

erosion and impact the flow.

Domestic waste water by

workers is discharged directly

into outside water bodies?

X The constructing units rent private

houses, so the wastewater is collected

into the general sewage system.

Construction waste water is

discharged directly into outside

water bodies?

X

Result in more dust? X - Dust will be generated from soil

excavation, ground leveling activities,

particularly in dry season. The affected

are people living and working around

the subproject site.

- Dust would also be generated by

transportation means that carry

materials and equipment during the

construction. The affected are people

involved in the traffic during the

transportation of construction

materials or equipment, either on

local roads or on provincial or

national roads.

- The measures described in section VI

will be implemented to minimise the

impacts of dusts.

Increase noise and/or vibration? X - Noise and vibration are generated by

operation of equipment, transportation

of materials, transportation means,

ground leveling, pole erection, and

operation of power generator (if any).

- The substations will be located on

foot hills, far from residential areas,

and hence noise and vibration during

construction would not affect local

communities.




- Construction materials will be

provided and transported to the

construction sites by local suppliers.

- Base on above-mentioned reasons,

impacts on increasing the noise and/or

vibration at the subproject area are

assessed as not significant and can be

mitigated.

- Relevant measures listed in section

VI will be implemented to minimise

these impacts.

Permanent land acquisition X Permanent occupied land area is 1,828

square metre

Temporary land acquisition X Temporary occupied land area is

19,464 square metre

Resetlement of households? If yes, how

many households?

X The route mainly goes through the low

hills that plant short-term crops. The

constructing area does not impact local

household so there is not any

household to move.

Would the resettlement site is

environmentally and/or culturally

sensitive

X

Is there any risk of disease

dissemination from construction

workers to the local peoples (and vice

versa)?

X - Construction force includes one

construction team/per commune, each

team will have about 10 workers. The

total number of workers on the site at

the peak time is about 250 people but

they are in many places of the route,

not gathering in one place. Therefore,

the spread of disease will also be

limited.

-Interactions with local community

may pose the risks of STD/HIV/AIDs

diseases transmission between

workers and local community.

Relevant measures described in

section VI of this EMP will be

implemented to minimise these risks.




Is there any potential for conflict

between construction workers and local

peoples (and vice versa)?

X Workers and local people are different

in income, lifestyle, custom thus it will

generate small conflict but it will be

limited.

Are explosive and hazardous chemicals

used within the Project?

X

In the past, there was any accident

incurred due to landmines or explosive

materials remaining from the war?

X

Will Project's construction cause

disturbance to the transportation in the

Project's site?

X Great impact: The transportation of

material and equiptment can cause

traffic jam. The excavation impacts the

quality of the road and cause the

traffic.

Project's construction will cause any

damage to the existing local roads,

bidges or other rural infrastructures?

X - The heavy transport vehicles can

damage the current roads.

- The impacts on traffic will also be be

managed by the measures presented in

this EMP

Will soil excavation during Project's

construction cause soil erosion?

X The constructing time for each pole

foundation is not long (maximum about

one week) and avoiding to construct in

raining seasons and constructing

definitively each item, so the erosion is

negligible.

Will Project need to open new access

roads?

X Using the current road system to

construct. These roads will be

improved for constructing and traffic of

local people.

Will Project cause fragmentation of

habitat of flora and fauna?

X In the corridor if there are crops and

trees that affect the constructing

process must be cut off.

Will Project cause impact on air

quality?

X The impact level to the environment by

exhaust fumes of traffic means during

transportation will be limited by

covering, avoid scattering.

Will Project cause accident risks for

workers and community during

X It is possible to occur transprort traffict

to worker and area community during

subproject implement. However, all




construction phase? workers are disseminated implementing

process and method of safety at work.

Thus, the ocurrence of accident will be

limitted maximum.

Will Project generate hazardous wastes

including PCBs from the replacement

of transformers?

X There is no removed transformer in this

subproject. Due to there is no PCBs.

waste

Will Project cause risk to safety and

human health (electric and magnetic

fields, electric shock etc.)?

X - The transmission lines shall be

designed and constructed in

accordance with applicable standards

of power industry (in accordance with

Vietnam applicable technical

regulations, electromagnetic field

(EMF) < 5 kV/m), wherein impacts

from EMF and safety standards and

operation safety have to be taken into

due account.

- Prior to operation, all safety

indicators shall be tested and accepted

by the project owner, contractor and

operation entity therefore workers

shall not be suffering from such EMF

impacts.

- In the phase of commissioning, the

safety in power use of households of

ethinic minorities who use electricity

for the first time also needs to be paid

attention to minimize the risk of

electric shock. However, this impact is

very little and avoidable if the people

are trained well in safe power use.

- The mitigation measures in Section VI

will also be implemented to minimise

safety risks

Since implementation of the subproject would mainly cause land acquisition, increased dust

generation, air pollution, and domestic wastes. However, these impacts are not significant,

temporary, and localized, and can be mitigated available mitigation measures. Therefore, the

subproject is assessed as B environmental category and eligible for funding by the World Bank.
