1. INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE OF WORK
1.1. OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT
The development objectives of the proposed Rural Energy II Project are to assist the
Government of Vietnam to alleviate poverty in the rural areas by providing basic
infrastructure service such as electricity and access to general services, for improving living
conditions and productivity. The Project will assist the Government of Vietnam to implement
its national objective of providing electricity to about 12 million rural households through:
- An effective strategy for rural electrification with special focus on provision of energy to the remote mountainous areas;
- Rehabilitating, upgrading and expanding the rural power system in order to meet the demand for power supply for future socio-economic development;
- Strengthening reliability and quality of power networks, reduce voltage and electricity losses on the grid, lower rural consumption price, improve businesses efficiency and
rural power management ability of local power management boards;
- Refurbishment of the existing rural power network to increase reliability and quality of supply, including reduction of technical and non-technical losses; this Project
incorporates 65 communes in 8 districts (Thai Binh city, Kien Xuong, Tien Hai, Vu
Thu, Hung Ha, Thai Thuy, Dong Hung and Quynh Phu) of Thai Binh province.
- Extension of existing power networks to supply additional households; - Assisting local District and Commune committees to improve power system
management processes and improve business efficiency, to provide electricity
reliably, safely and at reasonably cost;
- Review rural power management models, to establish power management units of legal standing, with economic independence and the managerial/technical skills to
operate effectively and profitably, repaying loaned funds;
- Expanding the use of renewable energy for the off-grid systems to serve the rural load in the remote and isolated areas, where feasible and economically practicable;
1.2. NEED FOR SUBPROJECT INVESTMENT
Based on the forecast data on economic development, power demand and the current
situation of the existing power distribution network of the Subproject’s commune. The
existing distribution network is degraded, not synchronous. Power losses are very high. The
alignment of power lines were not well designed. Many types of poles are existed in the
network. There are also many types of electricity meters. In the past in order to save money,
the distribution lies were created to go across gardens, ponds etc. The conductor was
overhead type and not covered by any insulating materials, so it causes a lot of risk on safety
to local people. The Subproject is planned to implement in order to:
- Improve the quality of the existing distribution network in the Subproject’s communes.
- Increase the safety management of the distribution network; - Reduce power losses; - Increase electricity supply for the Subproject’s communes; - Change the form for management model of rural power network; - Gradually modernize the distribution power network.

2.5. BRIEF DESTCRIPTION OF NATURAL AND SOCIAL CONDISTION OF THE
SUBPROJECT’S PROVINCES
Geographical position and topography
Thai Binh locates in the Hong (Red) river delta. The province is close to the northern focus
economic triangle Hanoi - Hai Phong - Quang Ninh and it is also a commercial exchange gate
between Hai Phong, Quang Ninh and coastal provinces across the country.
Covering an area of 1,542.24 km2, Thai Binh makes up 0.5 percent of total area of Vietnam.
The province borders on the Gulf of Tonkin in the east, Nam Dinh and Ha Nam provinces in
the west and southwest and Hai Duong, Hung Yen and Hai Phong City in the north.
The province is surrounded by a close system of seas and rivers with coastal line of more
than 50 km long, which is an advantageous environment for the development of trade on sea
and tourism.
Thai Binh has 1 city and 7 districts divided into 284 communes, wards and towns.
Climate
Locating on the edge of the tropical climatic zone, Thai Binh has annual average temperature
of 23 - 240C, average rainfall of between 1,400 mm and 1,800 mm and humidity of about 85-
90 percent. From May to the end of October, it is always rainy and hot while the weather
from November to April next year is dry.
Land resource
Thai Binh possesses fertile land. The convenient irrigational system has partly helped build
up paddy fields yielding 14-15 tons/ha.
Total natural land across the province is 153,596 ha, of which 94,187 ha is under cultivation.
Farmers can cultivate 3-4 crops in one year. Soil in Thai Binh is also good for the plantation
of foodstuff and industrial plants of short life, tropical fruit trees, flowers, etc.
Possessing three kinds of water, namely salty water (covering 17 km2), brackish water
(covering about 20,705 ha) and fresh water (covering 9,256 ha), Thai Binh has high potential
for aquatic products.
Minerals:
In Thai Binh exists Tien Hai Gas Mine reaching annual average exploitation output of tens
millions of cubic meters used to make porcelain products, glass-wear, tile, white cement, etc.
In 2003, the state-run oil and gas corporation Petro Vietnam exploded offshore in
preparations for exploitation of gas offshore Gulf of Tonkin.
-
13
Tien Hai mineral water mine is at the depth of 450 meters with reserve of about 12 million
m3. Tien Hai mineral water is highly appreciated by both domestic and foreign consumers.
Recently, a mine of hot water was discovered in Duyen Hai commune, Hung Ha district at
the depth of 50 meters (hot water of 570C) and at the depth of 178 meters (hot water of 72
0C).
Transport
The system of roads and waterway in Thai Binh has long established and developed faster
than the whole country. The province possesses a total of 5,614 km of roads, including 98 km
of national roads and 312 km of provincial roads. The rest is rural roads.
Thai Binh has the Diem Dien National Seaport from which 600 tonnage ships can enter and
depart. In the second stage of the project, the seaport will be expanded and improved
Electricity
Thai Binh is among provinces and cites ranking first in the development of electricity system.
100 percent of communes in Thai Binh is provided with electricity and 98 percent of rural
households are accessed to electricity. The improved system of electricity in Thai Binh
province can satisfy demand for electricity in years ahead.
Agricultural and husbandry: rice cultivation, industrial trees, dry crop, fruits.

4. ASSESSMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
4.1. CLASSIFICATION OF IMPACTS
The Environmental Impact Assessment focuses on the major environmental issues of
the Project’s Most Favoured Alternative. The potential impacts of the Project’s pre-
construction, construction, and operation phases were assessed as being in one of four
categories:
i. NO IMPACT. The potential impact of the Project activity is assessed as NO IMPACT if the project activity is physically removed in space or time from the
environmental component.
ii. MAJOR IMPACT. An impact is said to be MAJOR if the project activity has potential to affect an environmental component. Major impacts could be “Major
Negative” or “Major Positive.” The following criteria were used to determine whether
a given impact is MAJOR:
a) Spatial scale of the impact (site, local, regional, or national/ international);
b) Time horizon of the impact (short, medium, or long term);
c) Magnitude of the change in the environmental component brought about by the Project activities (small, moderate, large);
d) Importance to local human populations;
e) Compliance with national, provincial, or district environmental protection laws, standards, and regulations
f) Compliance with Vietnam’s international commitments. These include the Convention on Wetlands of International Importance especially as Waterfowl
Habitat (RAMSAR), the Convention Concerning the Protection of the World
Cultural and Natural Heritage (World Heritage Convention), and the
Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and
Flora (CITES); and
g) Compliance with World Bank guidelines, policies, and regulations.
iii. MINOR IMPACT. If an impact occurs but does not meet the criteria for a Major Impact it is assigned the category MINOR. Minor impacts could be “Minor negative”
or “Minor Positive.”
iv. MITIGABLE IMPACT. The potential impact of a project activity on an environmental component is said to be MITIGABLE if there is potential for a major
negative impact and the proposed mitigation measure will prevent the impact or
reduce the impact to acceptable levels.
-
17
4.2. IDENTIFICATION OF POTENTIAL IMPACTS OF THE SUBPROJECT
The Subproject will play an important role in the electrification program and in
implementation of the policy of poverty alleviation of 65 communes within 8 districts of Thai
Binh province. It will also promote the policy of industrialization and modernization of the
Government of Vietnam as well as create a great opportunity for overall socio-economic
development of the poor area.
When the distribution lines are constructed, there is a trend of local people to move to
live near the lines. The local people committee will have a proper planning accordingly to
support the development of the areas. These planning are included: road, residential area,
industrial development and farming etc. The communes/districts will move toward its
planning.
Beside the significant beneficial impacts, the Subproject may cause different adverse
impacts on the environment and local socio-economy. By using Environmental Screening
Data Checklist and Environmental baseline Checklist as guided in Framework for Applying
Environment Safeguards to Rural Energy II Project, The potential impacts of the Subproject
are described in Table 4.1.
-
18
Table 4.1: The assessment of Subproject's impacts
No Impact Location Description of the impacts
Pre-construction phase
1 Permanent and temporary land
acquisition
Along the
route, inside
the ROW
- 838 m2 Agricultural land will be permanently
- Average area lost is less than 2m2 per HH, it is not signification for total land holding of
HHs (about over 1000m2 per HH).
- 15,626 m2
of productive land temporarily occupied for LV distribution line.
- Refer to Appendix 8 for more information and supporting – data;
- There is no HHs affected more than 10% of their total productive land holding.
- This impact is not significant in consideration with wide range of the Project: 65
communes in 7 districts.
2 Impact on Subproject affected
household
HHs have
land inside
the ROW
- 243 HHs will lose their land permanently;
- Refer to Appendix 8 for supporting data;
- During designing of the Subproject, the alignment has been carefully considered in order
to avoid crossing houses and other structures; wrong positioning of poles; minimizing
temporary and minimizing land acquisition.
3 Impacts associated with clearing
the ROW
Along the
route and
inside the
ROW
- All of parts of trees that are higher than 4m need to be cut. The trees are still remained.
- The lines are not going through any forested areas.
- Acquired lands are mainly un-used land along the existing road, crossing agricultural
fields with very low ecological values.
- See Appendix 8 for information on number of trees to be cut. These trees have value in
economics (fruit trees) rather than environmental.
4 Health risk due to explosives,
chemical hazard
Subproject
area
- The area is very intensively used by local government and people. There is no risk of
explosives;
-
19
No Impact Location Description of the impacts
- No hazardous chemicals are used in the Subproject.
5 Loss of historical and cultural
properties
Subproject
area
- The routes are designed to avoid temples, churches and other cultural, historical properties
in the areas, so the Subproject will not effect any cultural heritages
- During construction if there is any valuable historical or cultural properties are found
underground, the Contractor and Subproject owner will report to local Department of
Culture and information for further consideration.
Construction phase
6 Change of surface water quality
or water flows
At new
pole’s
foundation,
Worker’s
camp
- The water can be more turbid due to the soil residue from excavation of the pole's
foundation will enter to the water bodies by water run-off.
7 Noise and vibration Subproject
area, work
site
- Noise levels during construction will be required to comply with Vietnamese standard
QCVN 26:2010/BTNMT and QCVN 27:2010/BNTMT. Use of construction machinery
will be limited due to the small scale of the Subproject (distribution as opposed to
transmission lines), and the very short period of time involved in construction activities.
- Noise and vibration are caused by: equipment, material transportation, Subproject's
vehicles, pole's erection and cable's pulling, generators (if there is any)
8 Excavated Soil New pole’s
foundation
- Soil excavation for pole's foundation;
- Vegetation cover is reduced due to ROW clearance and access roads’ construction.
- Subproject’s sites are in plain areas or in plain position, so the risk of soil erosion is not
high.
- In terms of soil erosion, the impact is considered to be minor due to the small scale of the
activities involved, the limited period over which they will occur, and the spatially small
areas to be affected. Furthermore, these impacts could be reduced to less than minor with
implementation of mitigation measures
-
20
No Impact Location Description of the impacts
9 Dust generation Subproject
area, work
site, local
roads
- Dust generated from soil excavation, especially during dry seasons.
- Dust caused by movement of vehicles transporting material and equipment for Subproject
construction.
10 Agricultural production due to
temporary acquisition of
productive land
Along the
route, inside
the ROW
- Some of productive land will be required for a short period for construction.
- Refer to Appendix 8 for supporting data
11 Traffic disturbance Subproject
area, local
roads
- Transportation of material and equipment, soil excavation and cable pulling activities will
disturb the normal traffic in the areas during short period of time;
- Equipment will be transported from receiving port to warehouses of the Subproject
owners by special trucks;
- From warehouses to construction the goods are transported by truck 5 to 7.5 tons and
unloaded by 5 tones cranes;
- Construction materials will be transported by 10 to 12 tones trucks; unloaded by 5 tones
cranes;
- Steel constructions are transported by 5 tones trucks; unloaded by man power;
- Road system in Thai Binh is quite good so transportation will be very convenient and will
cause less impact to local traffic;
- Construction work will be mainly carried out along the rural roads with high gathering of
poles, construction materials. It will cause disturbance to traffic in rural areas as well. But
this disturbance in quite minor since the construction duration at each site is short, rural
transportation is not very intensive and mainly by rudimentary vehicles like bicycles,
motorbikes, etc.
- Cable pulling crossing the roads can cause disturbance to transportation also. But
scaffolds are required in these crossing sections and will reduce the traffic disturbance.
-
21
No Impact Location Description of the impacts
12 Road degradation Local roads - Heavy loaded vehicles might degrade the existing roads, which usually are not very good
in rural areas.
13 Biological environment impacts Along the
route, inside
the ROW
- Some of trees will need to be cut. But these trees are common planted species like
agricultural or fruit trees.
- Some of insects are small animals will lose their habitat but the insects and animals are
common species. Area of loose habitats is small in comparison with entire affected
ecosystem. Main ecosystems that are affected by the Subproject is agricultural, shrub trees
along the roads etc.
- The trees that will be cut by the subproject is mainly fruit trees, trees along the roads, they
have economic value rather than environmental value.
14 Solid waste generation New pole’s
foundation,
work site
- The soil and construction materials can remain in the site;
- Contractors need to commit to return the working sites to the original conditions and clean
up the construction sites.
15 Environmental impacts caused
by construction worker
Subproject
area,
worker
camps
- Solid waste, wastewater disposal and hygiene condition.
- Possible dissemination of certain diseases from construction workers to local people and
vice versa.
16 Conflict between construction
worker and local people
Subproject
communes
- The conflicts might cause by difference in incomes, cultures, behaviors;
- Duration of construction work is very limited (about 6 months); local people will be hired
for simple work, only skill staff from other locations are hired to do professional work; it
estimated that the group of 15 persons will be formed for each working team; so all of these
figures reveals that the risk of conflict is not very high and serious.
17 Health and Safety Work site,
Subproject
area
- Accidents might happen during construction if the safety issues are not well considered.
- Electric shock and accidents occurring if the proper safety issues are not paid proper
attention.
Operation phase
-
22
No Impact Location Description of the impacts
18 Development and poverty
alleviation
Subproject
area
- Increase the quality of life for local peoples.
- Support agricultural production and other services including health and education
19 Habitat fragmentation and
increase access to wild lands
Subproject
area
- No new road or access roads are constructed
- No line crossing the forest, wetland or other natural habitats.
20 Health and safety Subproject
area
- Electric shock and accidents occurring if the proper safety issues are not paid proper
attention
21 EMF Subproject
area
- With voltage just up to 35 kV, the EMF is not a problem.
22 Impacts on aircrafts Subproject
area
- The height of pole is less than 50 m. There will not be any problem with avian and
aircrafts
23 Oil hazardous waste
contamination
Subproject
area
- The Subproject has the potential to cause oil contamination from leakage from
transformers. The transformers used are small, with a 20 liter or less capacity. Operation
records for similar transformers show that the chance of container breakage that could
cause an oil spill is almost zero. Therefore, a risk of oil contamination caused by the
Subproject from either of these two sources is extremely low, if not negligible.
- No PCBs containing oil and other hazardous chemicals will be used.
- Oil refilling should be done in workshop
-

5. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
Table 5.1: Mitigation measures applied for the Subproject
No Environmental and social
impacts
Mitigation measures
Pre-construction phase
1 Permanent and temporary land
acquisition
- Careful site survey, consult with local peoples for optimum route selection.
- Avoid ecologically high value areas (forest, reserve area, wetland etc.).
- Proper compensate the impacts.
2 Impact on subproject affected
household
- Routes should be selected to minimize the need to relocate houses
- Increase the span between towers, increase the tower height, use hanging substation etc. to minimize the
impacts on Subproject affected households.
- Compensate for the impacts.
3 Impacts associated with clearing
the ROW
- Work with Subproject affected households during clearance of ROWs to minimize impacts to
surrounding trees and other constructions;
- Not allow using any herbicides and defoliant to clear the trees within ROWs.
- Not allow burning the wooden residue after tree cutting.
4 Health risk due to explosives,
chemical hazard
- Not necessary to apply any mitigation measure
Construction phase
5 Surface water contamination - Soil excavation is managed to carry out in the shortest period.
- Construction material will be kept in the store with cover to protect from rain.
- Select a right place for concrete mixing.
- Residue from earthwork should be removed from the site to proper places (soil residue can use for
garden filling; concrete residues are removed by contractor to the permitted places).
-
24
No Environmental and social
impacts
Mitigation measures
6 Noise and vibration - Use the construction machines that have noise level under permitted limits.
- Carefully consider night work. No night work is permitted to carry out in populated and sensitive areas
like hospital, residential, student camp.
7 Soil erosion - Excavate and earth-moving activities in erosion prone areas will be schedule in the dry seasons, after the
harvest time and during the shortest duration of time.
- Land surface recovery after the pole erection.
8 Air pollution - Minimize the construction time in each site. Spray water regularly on dirt piles and any other areas that
could create dust
- Use wind fences in case of strong wind.
- Minimize use of diesel generators.
9 Agricultural production due to
temporary acquisition of
productive land
- Carry out the construction work after harvest time.
- Compensate for the loss of agricultural productivity
- Return the construction areas to the useful state after the work.
10 Traffic disturbance - Minimize the construction work (excavation, cable pulling) in traffic intensive sites.
- Use warning signs in construction sites.
- Cooperate with local authority for traffic arrangement.
- Avoid high-traffic areas
11 Damaging the existing road
system
- Construction Contractor needs to commit to not use heavy vehicles that might cause damage to the
existing road system in the area.
- Not allow vehicles with heavy load of construction material and equipment to enter the road system. The
load should be separated to acceptable levels that the road can resist for.
- Repair the road when there is any damage occurred.
-
25
No Environmental and social
impacts
Mitigation measures
12 Solid waste generated from soil
excavation
- Construction contractor need to commit to clean the site and disposal solid waste in the permitted places.
- Reuse as much as possible an excavated soil for refilling foundation.
13 Environmental impacts caused by
construction worker
- Minimize the impact of solid waste: Solid waste should be disposed properly by local collecting system
or dumping in permitted areas of communes.
- Arrange hygiene toilets for workers;
- Provide clean water for camping areas. Control discharge of waste water from camping sites. Not allow
discharge waste water directly to clean water sources such as rivers, stream, which is supplying water for
residential areas.
14 Conflict between construction
worker and local people
- Hire as much as possible local citizens for the simple construction work to avoid the influx of migrants.
- In cases where the worker camps are near the communes, the Employer could request that the Contractor
provide accurate, timely and regular information about the construction team to the People’s Committees
in affected areas. With open communication and information, the People’s Committee and Contractor will
be able to make a joint informed decision about the management of construction team accommodation.
- Rectify the impact: The general conditions of Contract should state: after the Subproject finished, all
camps will be completed removed and the campsites will be rectified to their original conditions.
15 Health and Safety - Organize the health care service in each group of workers.
- Inform workers the safety regulations and procedures, do not hire any local people who are not trained
in working safety
- Equip safety facilities for the workers, prohibit unauthorized persons entering construction sites,
especially dangerous areas.

- Local authorities and local people are willing to implement the subproject;
- Construction work should carry out in dry season, after harvesting;
- Contractor should clean and return construction sites to the previous condition;
- Consultant should inform local about construction work as soon as they can so people can have a plan to harvest agricultural products in their affected lands.
- Warning sign for power pole system should be hang on
- Consultants should carefully consider the pole’s position; avoid erecting the pole inside garden, near houses, or residential areas.
- Head and responsible people of the villages should convince people to release the land on time for Contractor;
- Compensation should be done equally and clearly
- There is a need to support households that are heavily affected by the Subproject - Construction work should be planned to carry out in the shortest time to avoid losses in
agricultural production.
9.1.5 PMU’s Feedback
-
36

measures will be incorporated in the tender documents that the contractor must comply and the
contractor shall submit an organizational chart of the construction site, construction methods and
mitigation measures for investors to approve the bidding results
The construction contractors will have to report the organizational chart of construction site,
make the temporary residence statement for workers and coordinate with local government to
administer these workers
The Subproject team will complete all procedures for preparing the Subproject investment and
require the investor to arrange capital for the subproject
9.2 DISCLOSURE
The Vietnamese copies of EMP report, RP and the subproject summary will be sent to the local
authorities (district level and commune level) for disclosure at the subproject area. The expected
time will be in the end of July, 2012
