including training and personal protective equipment provided.

(1) The Project provided training on Site HSE Induction for workers before working at the

construction site that covers environment, social, health, and safety. In addition, the

project provided training that relates specific and risk working such as work at height,

lifting supervisor, rigger & signal man, scaffolder, banks man, hot working, fire watch,

confine space, etc (see Section 5 (e)).

(2) The Project provided appropriately personal protective equipment (PPE) for workers

and inspected these pieces of equipment regularly as specified in the Safety Procedure.

In addition, the Project posted warning signs to convince workers to wear PPE when

working at the construction site at all times, assigned a staff to control the construction

area entry and exit, provided training before workers start working (Site HSE Induction)

and emphasized these things in the tool box talk meeting.


Please provide occupational health and safety performance data of the Company, the EPC

and O&M Companies using the table below and analyze the effectiveness of the actions

being taken for improvement.

undertaken during the reporting period (if applicable).

The Project used water from WHA Eastern Seaboard Industrial Estate for construction

activities and therefore did not use any groundwater. However, the Project will monitor

groundwater quality to determine the impact (if any) during operation phase.

g) Pollution Prevention – soil quality:

Please provide details of soil management and monitoring undertaken during the reporting

period.

The Project monitored sulfate in the 15-cm-deep soil at two locations on October 7, 2019,

including Chumchon Borisat Namtan Tawan-Aok School and Chompon Chaophraya

Temple. The table below shows the summarized monitored values.

h) Environmental Incidents:

Please provide details of any environmental incidents or accidents that have occurred

during the reporting period, including any remediation, monitoring and/or Corrective

Action Plan(s) developed.

During July to December 2019, no environmental incidents or accidents occurred.

i) Unanticipated Environmental Impacts:

Describe any unanticipated impacts of the Project (if any) that have become apparent and

were not assessed in the ESIA. Provide an approved environmental assessment and

management plan as an appendix.

During the construction in December 2018 through December 2019, the Project was once

informed at the Environmental Auditing Committee Meeting No.2/62 on June 18, 2019

about avoid the noise level from the Project construction to Chumchon Borisat Namtan

Tawan-Aok School. Therefore, the Project conducted an investigation at the school within

that month and did not hesitate to install air conditioners in three classrooms to prevent


noise level. The installation of classroom air conditioners took place within the following

month and the air-conditioned classroom granting ceremony was held on August 30, 2019

(see Appendix E). In order that the measurement results of sound pressure level at project

construction site and Chumchon Borisat Namtan Tawan-Aok School complied the standard.

7. Physical Cultural Resources

Confirm the processes and procedures were followed regarding Physical Cultural Resources (if any),

located on site or related to project associated facilities (e.g. the EGAT transmission line and the raw

water pipeline), including stakeholder consultation and Chance Find Procedures. In respect of the

EGAT transmission line only, the Borrower shall be deemed to have complied with such

requirements in accordance with the Safeguards and Social Requirements if it has used its reasonable

endeavours to prepare such requirements in accordance with the Safeguards and Social

Requirements, but is not able to prepare such requirements in accordance with those requirements

due to an act, omission or requirement of EGAT.

(1) The processes of transmission line route selection and finalization along with land acquisition

for the Project’s energy network system are governed by the Energy Regulatory Commission

(ERC) under the Energy Industry Act of B.E.2550 (2007). The transmission line route

announcement process (also called energy network system announcement process) comprises

4 steps as defined below (see Appendix M.1).

(i) Exploration and survey

(ii) Energy network system announcement

(iii) Compensation

(iv) Energy network system construction

Every step in the process involves public participation and listening closely to opinions of the

people living in the area anticipated to be within the energy network system right of way.

A total of 6 meetings set up to public opinion are according to Notification No.34/2559, dated

December 7, 2016, issued by the Survey Division, Survey Department, Electricity Generating

Authority of Thailand, Re: Listening to Public Opinions. The meetings are for explaining work

process, conducting coordination, and giving PR brochures (see Appendix N.1). In addition,

EGAT has visited the area on a continuous basis in order to participate in activities with the

communities and thus give them a chance to express/make comments about the Project.

In addition, the Office of Energy Regulatory Commission (OERC) issued Notification of

designation of the 500 kV energy network system rights of way for Gulf SRC Company

Limited’s power plant (Pluak Daeng plant). The OERC posted announcements in the

community areas, such as village head offices, sub-district head offices, and district offices,

to welcome questions and appeals concerning the energy network system rights of way

(see Appendix M.2).


After issuing the announcement of this energy network system, however, OERC provided an

opportunity to submit appeals concerning the transmission line route of the system within 30

days. The landowners submitting an appeal were those in 3 area groups within 2 sections of

the system’s transmission line. For Section 1, ERC already revised the energy network system

right-of-way to reduce the impact from land use. It also issued the OERC’s 16 January 2020

announcement of prescribing of the Gulf SRC Power Plant - Pluak Daeng’s 500 kV energy

network system’s revised transmission line section and right-of-way (in pursuant to the

Energy Industry Act 2007) (see Appendix M.3). In the case of Section 2, ERC conducted its

Meeting No.5/2563, on January 24, 2020, at which a resolution was issued regarding

approval of the transmission line route and right-of-way revision. At present, it is in the

process of preparing an OERC’s announcement of prescribing of the Gulf SRC Power Plant-

Pluak Daeng’s 500 kV energy network system’s revised transmission line section and right-of-

way. Therefore, it can be seen that the conduct of energy network system construction has

created a way to listen to public opinion and to welcome public participation in the action to

reduce the impact on the operation in the area. However, during the conduct of construction

and survey of the energy network system, no ancient relics and places were found in the area.

(2) Raw Water Pipeline: The raw water pipeline construction and laying take place within the

WHA Eastern Seaboard Industrial Estate and therefore there are no physical cultural

resources and chance find.

(3) Gas Pipeline: During July to December 2019, the construction activities of gas pipeline were

1) surveying the soil layer for designing to construct gas pipeline as open cut excavation

2) conducting pilot drill for surveying soil condition and layer to design HDD profile and

3) foundation and construction of control building of block valve station (BVS) and metering

station (MRS). Therefore there are no physical cultural resources and chance find.


8. Transport and Traffic

Please provide monitoring results as indicated in the ESMP.

(1) The Project has recorded daily inbound and outbound traffic and time by vehicle type in the

Project construction area, along with the details of transported materials and machinery/

equipment, by intending to do this task for the entire construction period. In addition, the

Project has summarized the information by month as shown in the table below.

Month

(2) The Sriracha Power Plant Project of Gulf SRC Co., Ltd. has recorded statistics on accidents

resulting from transportation related to the power plant construction activities and found no

accidents due to the Project’s transportation activities during July to December 2019.


9. Biodiversity, Landscape and Green Areas

During pre-construction and construction phases, please provide a summary of vegetation clearance

requirements (e.g. the EGAT transmission line and the raw water pipeline), type of vegetation and

measures implemented. In respect of the EGAT transmission line only, the Borrower shall be

deemed to have complied with such requirements in accordance with the Safeguards and Social

Requirements if it has used its reasonable endeavours to prepare such requirements in accordance

with the Safeguards and Social Requirements, but is not able to prepare these requirements in

accordance with those requirements due to an act, omission or requirement of EGAT.

(1) The Project purchased a parcel of filled and leveled land from the WHA Eastern Seaboard

Industrial Estate. This land lot, an allocated area marked with official land pins, is for the

Project construction. The Project’s raw water pipeline construction and laying therefore take

place within the Industrial Estate and biodiversity problems are unanticipated because no

transformation of area conditions will be appearing by virtue of this area’s status as a part of

the Industrial Estate both before and after the Company’s land purchase.

(2) The transmission line construction inevitably passes through the area of perennial tree species,

i.e. a total of 18 lots (304 rai, 3 ngan and 49.4 sq.wah). The tree species found in the area were

oil palm, para rubber, coconut, eucalyptus, acacia, Siamese rough bush, mango, paper

mulberry, jambolan plum, neem, padauk, teak, and banana. For the tree species receiving an

impact from the transmission line construction, EGAT already made compensation payments to

the landowners for damage resulting from the construction.

(3) Raw Water Pipeline & Gas Pipeline: The areas for the construction of the Project’s raw water

pipeline and gas pipeline are in the Industrial Estate and, therefore, there will be no impact on

the local biodiversity and tree species.


10. Community Health and Safety

During construction phase, please provide details of various project related accidents/incidents

affecting local communities (these may arise from traffic, dust, noise, vibration, water supply,

water quality, or interaction with laborers), action undertaken to ensure accidents/incidents will be

avoided.

Since the Project construction takes place within the Industrial Estate, there is no direct impact on

the communities. However, noise is the only potential impact from the Project construction on the

communities. Regarding this impact, the Project has the following mitigation measures:

(1) The Project stipulates that all loud noise generating construction equipment operate only

during the daytime from 08.00 a.m. to 05.00 p.m.

(2) At least two weeks prior to the construction, the Project publicizes its construction plan to

inform the people in the nearby communities about loud piling noise and measures to control

construction noise.

(3) The Project stipulates inspection, maintenance and repair of equipment and tools to keep

them in good condition all the time as specified in the Equipment and Tool Maintenance

Manual.

(4) The Project installs a temporary noise barrier along its fence.

(5) The measurement results of sound pressure level complied with the standard.

During operation phase, please provide details of various project related accidents/incidents or

health problems affecting local communities (these may arise from operations phase activities

affecting environmental media such as air and water which may have affected the community),

action undertaken to address the issue.

Please include the results of the public health impact monitoring results as indicated in the ESMP.

During July to December 2019, the Project was still in construction phase.


11. Land Acquisition and Compensation Plan

Land Status

1. Project Site The Company purchased a parcel of filled and leveled land from the

WHA Eastern Seaboard Industrial Estate. This land lot is for the

Project construction. The Project received the official permission letter

on October 5, 2018 for land use and operation in the Industrial Estate

and therefore no compensation is required.

2. Water Pipeline/

Water Supply

The Project already receives permission to connect its water-use facility

to the WHA Eastern Seaboard Industrial Estate’s water supply system.

The water pipeline construction and laying are conducted within the

Industrial Estate and therefore no compensation is required.

Briefly describe any measures implemented by EGAT to avoid impacts on livelihoods and residences

during the reporting period.

The proposed transmission line is still in the process of public appeal and line route revision. However,

the requested line route revision to consider will depend on land use conditions, residence areas, and

engineering feasibility. After issuing the OERC’s 28 November 2018 announcement of prescribing of the

Gulf SRC Power Plant - Pluak Daeng’s 500 kV energy network system’s revised transmission line section

and right-of-way (in pursuant to the Energy Industry Act 2007), there had been some appeals for

transmission line route revision to reduce the land use impact. Nevertheless, the principle is that the

revision must be in the same area or under consent of adjacent neighbors without making more impacts.

Later, an approval was granted for the revision of 2 sections of the energy network system’s transmission

line. For Section 1, OERC already issued its 16 January 2020 announcement of prescribing of the Gulf

SRC Power Plant - Pluak Daeng’s 500 kV energy network system’s revised transmission line section and

right-of-way (in pursuant to the Energy Industry Act 2007) (see Appendix M.3). In the case of Section 2,

ERC conducted its Meeting No.5/2563, on January 24, 2020, at which a resolution was issued regarding

approval of the transmission line route and right-of-way revision. In addition, EGAT already made

compensation payments to the owners of agricultural land for the construction of transmission towers in

the land areas under agricultural land reform. The total of these compensation payments was 18.4 million

baht. It also paid the 7.3 million baht compensation for the use of an additional lot of private land.

Briefly describe the type of solutions provided for new physically displacement and economic

displacement not included in the Land Acquisition and Compensation Plan.

EGAT issued the Regulation No.358 regarding consideration of assistance for the people likely to

experience the impact of the power plant and energy network system construction. This is to help mitigate

the impact, the action aside from what is required under the Energy Industry Act of B.E. 2550 (2007), such

as assistance for tree cutting, land filling, electricity meter and electrical wiring installation, groundwater

well digging, and house rental costs. However, no resettlement or displacement will be required in the

area for the construction of the Gulf SRC Power Plant - Pluak Daeng’s 500 kV energy network system.

At the time, the action regarding compensation was still in the step of the Province’s third consideration

of land and property compensation amounts. It was expected that the compensation would be paid in

May 2020.

Briefly describe any special measures for particularly vulnerable household members affected by

displacement for the transmission line (elderly, female-headed household, etc).

From the survey of the area to obtain results to support the announcement of the energy network system’s

transmission line route and right-of-way and appeal, no elderly and female-headed households were

found. Therefore, there were no special compensation payments made to anyone in the area.


Please attach detailed information/report as per the Land Acquisition and Compensation Plan for EGAT’s

land acquisition process and monitoring arrangement.

The implementation of the Land Acquisition and Compensation Plan was divided into 2 parts, i.e.

requests for the energy network system’s transmission line route and right-of-way revision and

compensation process.

1) Requests for the Energy Network System’s Transmission Line Route and Right-of-Way Revision:

OERC issued its 28 November 2018 announcement of prescribing of the Gulf SRC Power Plant -

Pluak Daeng’s 500 kV energy network system’s revised transmission line section and right-of-way

(in pursuant to the Energy Industry Act 2007). After that, OERC made a requirement for submission

of appeal concerning revision of the system’s transmission line route, which must be within 30 days

after the date of the announcement. For Section 1, ERC already revised the energy network system

right-of-way to reduce the impact from land use. It also issued the OERC’s 16 January 2020

announcement of prescribing of the Gulf SRC Power Plant - Pluak Daeng’s 500 kV energy network

system’s revised transmission line section and right-of-way (in pursuant to the Energy Industry Act

2007) (see Appendix M.3). In the case of Section 2, ERC conducted its Meeting No.5/2563,

on January 24, 2020, at which a resolution was issued regarding approval of the transmission line

route and right-of-way revision. At present, it is in the process of preparing an OERC’s

announcement of prescribing of the Gulf SRC Power Plant - Pluak Daeng’s 500 kV energy network

system’s revised transmission line section and right-of-way.

grouped them (i.e. grouping of complaints about the same issue submitted by landowners having many

land lots). Therefore, after reduction, there were only 15 complaints about the Gulf SRC Power Plant -

Pluak Daeng’s 500 kV energy network system right-of-way.
