1. INTRODUCTION
The Red River Delta Rural Water Supply and Sanitation (RRD RWSS) Project (the Project)
funded by International Development Association (IDA) of the World Bank. This project
covers rural areas of 12 provinces of the Red River Delta including: Bac Ninh, Quang Ninh,
Phu Tho, Vinh Phuc, Ha Tay (now Hanoi), Hung Yen, Ha Nam, Thanh Hoa, Hai Duong, Thai
Binh, Nam Dinh and Ninh Binh.
The project’s objective is to improve water and household level sanitation services and their
effective use in the project selected provinces in the Red River Delta in ways that are
financially, technically and environmentally sustatainable, thereby contributing to poverty
alleviation in participating rural communities. The project has been designed with two phases,
in which phase 1 has stated in 2006 to cover four provinces, including: Ninh Binh, Thai Binh,
Nam Dinh and Hai Duong. And the second phase will be executing in 8 provinces: Vinh Phuc,
Phu Tho, Ha Nam, Thanh Hoa, Quang Ninh, Hung Yen, Ha Tay and Bac Ninh.
Approximately 28-30 communes per Province will be benefited from the project.
The RRD RWSS Project has four main components:
- Component 1: Water and Sanitation Infrastructure Development;
- Component 2: Hygiene and Sanitation Behavior Change;
- Component 3: Strengthening the Capacity of Community and Local authority
Institutions and Management Entities;
- Component 4: Support for Project Management, Monitoring and Evaluation.
The Project has been classified by the World Bank as Environmental Category B . During the
project preparation phase, a Environmental Guidelines document has been prepared for IDA
for review and no-objection.. As part of the preparation for the Additional Financing (AF)
Project, the Environmental Guidelines document has been updated in November 2009 taking
into account technical advices provided by IDA during previsous supervision missions.
Review of the environmental safeguard issues of the parent project has been conducted as part
of the preparation for the additional financing. Findings from the supervision mission’s
review and lessons learnt during the implementation of Project Phase 1, particularly the
in-depth technical guidance document provided by IDA supervision team during previous
mission, and the updates of Vietnamese environmental legislation are taken into account in
this updated Environmental Guideline. .

2. PROJECT AREA
Red River Delta, one of pivotal economic regions in Vietnam with 70% of rural population, is
in pressing need of water supply and sanitation. According to survey results, the water sources
which are in use in the Delta now are mainly rain water, underground water, and surface water
of rivers and lakes. These sources are prone to pollution, especially surface water of rivers,
because of agricultural cultivation, waste water of life activities and from industrial zones and
trade villages.
The project is covering in the rural areas of 12 provinces in Red River Delta with two phases.
In the first phase, the project is implemented in four provinces of Ninh Binh, Nam Dinh, Thai
Binh, and Hai Duong. And in the second phase, the project is implemented in 8 provinces: Ha
Nam, Thanh Hoa, Hung Yen, Quang Ninh, Bac Ninh and former Ha Tay.

OP 4.01 Environmental Assessment is triggered in this Project:
1. To ensure projects proposed for financing are environmentally & socially sound and
sustainable;
2. To inform decision makers of the nature of environmental and social risks involved in
the project;
3. To increase transparency and participation of all project-affected people in the
decision-making process.

4. PROJECT PROPOSAL, ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT PROCESS
APPLICABLE TO RURAL WATER SUPPLY SCHEMES
4.1. Project proposals
In each of the 12 project province, the project will provide rural water supply systems and
public sanitation facilities for 28 to 30 communes. It is likely that each the sub-project scheme
are developed in the scale of a commune or several communes.
Design and Construction works supporting the project include: water intakes facility, raw
water pump station, water supply treatment plants, pipe water supply system, public toilets.
Because the land area that needs clearance for the project is very large,
4.2. Project Siting
This is the first step during the preparation of a rural water supply scheme under the RRD
RWSS. Siting of water treatment plants (WTP), water intake, pipe trenches should avoid the
followings, where possible:
- high productivity crop land, particularly rice fields
- Physical Cultural/Historical Structures;
- forest and reserved land, natural habitats such as natural reserves, forest, national
parks, wetlands, etc.;
- areas or objects of spiritual importante to local communities (e.g. sacred trees or
pieces of stones), etc.
- trees cuttings
- removal of existing infrastructure such as drainage, power line, telephone cables, or
damages to existing roads or irrigation canals
- construction works/operation of the works would cause impacts to cultural, historical
objects potentially affected, including graves, churches, temples, pagodas, sack trees,
historical sites etc
Siting of WTP ancillary items will satisfy the followings, if possible:
- siting water intakes as far as possible from downstream of landfill, toilets, or
wastewater discharge points
- Siting the water intake point (distance from river bank, depth) taking into account
pumping rate to minimise impacts on river bed/river bank
- pumping station is located at least 200 m from the nearest building
- siting concrete mixing plant as far as possible from noise-sensitive sites such as
classrooms, clinics, offices, religion practices
- Waste disposal sites, construction materials temporary loading sites, concrete mixing
sites must be at least 50 m from any surface water source.
Siting of Public toilets will satisfy the followings, if possible:
5
- - At sites not subjected to frequent flooding
- Located at the end of prevail wind direction
- convenience access to the users
- Not barely exposed to public areas or culturally sensitive structures.
- Ensuring water from septic tank to outside drainage must be good
4.3. Environmental Screening
As soon as project sites has been proposed with siting criteria been followed, environmental
screening should be carried out to determine whether the project would cause adverse
environmental impacts.
If screening results shows that a subproject may cause adverse environmental impacts,
reselection of project sites will be carried out and environmental impacts will be screened. If
the potential advervse impacts are unavoidable, then a detail Environmental Impacts will be
required. If the sub-project will not cause any adverse environmental impacts, PPMU will
prepare an Environmental Protection Commitment, and attached with an Environmental
Managment Plan.

disintegrates easily. When disintegrating, solid waste is
an ideal environment for alive pathogenic
microorganism, creates odor and a fixed amount of CH4,
H2S,... affecting air and water
- Affect landscape
10
No Sources/Impact activities Environmental impact
7.
Exploit and transport materials,
equipments of project such as
soil, stone, sand, cement,
gravel, iron, wood,...
- Trucks damage road system along transport route
- Trucks carrying cumbersome equipments can break
electric lines or cable along transport route
- Materials, especially soil and sand scattering along this
route affect inhabitants’ health
- Too many transport means create traffic jam or
accidents along the route
- Exhaust fumes, such as CO2, CO, SO2, NOx, CH4,...
created by fuel burning procedure help to increase air
pollution, green house effect.
8. Level space in project area
- Lose cultivated layer in project area
- Might interrupt irrigation system leading to the risk of
waterlogged problem when it rains heavily. It affects
agricultural activities in the area
- Affect air environment because if dust, exhaust fumes
such as CH4, CO2, SO2, NOx,...
- Residence of some organisms disappear which affects
area’s ecosystem
9.
Gather, store and maintain
construction materials in
working area
- Is the dust source if not being shielded carefully
- Lose area’s good looking
- Arise social problems such as thief, public order,...
10. Operations of vehicles and
construction equipments
- Arise noise, especially from heavy vehicles such as
bulldozer, shovel machine, cement truck, rammer or
pump,...
- Exhaust fumes such as CO2, CO, NOx, CH4,... are
made during fuel burning procedure of vehicles
- Lubricant to maintain/lubricate equipments can be
leaked out which affects land and water quality in the
area
- Sediment for lubricant, oil tank … is hazardous wastes
which need to be collected and treated strictly
11.
Execute constructions such as
water pump station, water
treatment station and water pipe
system
- Change area’s landscape
- Construction procedure creates noise, dust and exhaust
fumes
- Affect the growth and development of organism in the
area, especially microorganism in the land and water.
Many species are wiped out, however new species will
appear
11
No Sources/Impact activities Environmental impact
12. Dig road to construct water
system
- Traspor system along the route will be downgraded
- Affect inhabitants’ traffic because of
excavating/gathering construction materials
- Arise dust during construction process. It affects air
enviroment in the area
- Landscape will be seriously affected during
construction process
- Interrupt/affect irrigation system if water pipe passes by
13. Workers’ life activities
- Create an amount of solid wastes and household
sewage. They are solid wastes which easily disintegrate
and contain pathogenic microorganism
- Affect public order in the area
- Emerged social issues if not managed
- Food safety need to be paid more attention
14.
Manage and treat solid waste,
household waste and sewage
made by workers
- Household solid waste and sewage made by workers
affect water and land quality in the area if not being
collected and treated
- Household waste is an ideal environment for
pathogenic microorganism to develop. Therefore if it is
not managed and treated, the risk of epidemic diseases
breakout is very high
15.
Construction solid waste such
as cement packing, broken
brick,...
- Construction solid waste is difficult to disintegrate.
They will be swept into lakes/rivers.. when it rains. If not
being collected and treated, it affects water source’s
quality.
- When being burried in the land, these solid wastes
prevent the growth and development of land organism
leading to degradation.
- Lose area’s good looking
16. Rain-water overflows in
working area
Overflowing water will sweep materials/wastes in the
working area into lakes/rivers.... It makes water source
polluted, affects organism living in the water
12
No Sources/Impact activities Environmental impact
17. Oil overflows and leaks out
from machines, equipments
Oil is dangerous waste needing to be collected and
treated strictly. If oil leaks out or overflows, it will has
negative impact on environment. For instance:
- Land pollution in the leaked-out area
- Underground water layer pollution if land absorb these
waste
- If leaking out or flowing into lakes/rivers… it makes
water polluted, prevents the growth and development of
organism living in the water
18. Fire
Fire’s causes mainly come from electricity. Construction
process made by electrical conductivity equipments is
temporary, therefore the risk of fire or electric leakage
easily happens. When fire or electric leakage happens, it
threatens people’s life and seriously damages.
19.
Waterlogged, flooded problem
by blocked water flow because
of gravelly soil in working area
- Construction materials not only block water flow but
also affects water source quality if not being managed
- Flood, waterlog will happen on the large scale which
has bad impact on society and area’s environment,
construction progress.
20. Labor safety
Problem related to labor safety can happens every time
during construction process because of following
reasons:
- Construction means mainly are heavy mechanical ones
- Direct workers mainly are unskilled labors
When labor accident happens, it affects human health
directly
III Operation phase
21. Water treatment procedure is
observed and logical
Observed water treatment procedure
22. Monitor water periodically
- Frequently monitoring input quality and water after
treatment to have suitable adjustment
- Warning environmental problems because of water
using
23.
Make table to keep track of
supplied water quality every
day
Making table to keep track of supplied water quality
every day helps operator find out fluctuation rule of
water source, and have logic solutions to adjust
chemicals quantity such as precipitate, chlorination
reasonably. At the same time, we adjust filter and
sedimentation speed to meet the demand of household
water criteria.
13
No Sources/Impact activities Environmental impact
24.
After treatment water quality
doesn’t meet environmental
criteria
- Directly affect inhabitants’ health using water source
- Diseases arise in the community
- Construction’s sustainability is destroyed
25.
Pump’s operation - Noise affects life and health of inhabitants living
around, especially workers directly operating factory
- The risk of leaked-out lubricant
26.
Store and mix chemicals
unreasonably
- Pollute area’s air, especially in the house storing and
mix chemical
- Long-term impact on health of workers operating
factory
27.
Sludge waste from filter and
septic tank
- Sludge contains polluted substances such as heavy
metals, organic substance,... Therefore if we don’t have
treatment method, sludge will have bad impact on
environment
- Sludge is more and more created which makes
landscape worse
28.
Workers’ life activities
participating in operating
treatment factory
- Creating solid waste and household sewage. These
wastes have bad impact on environment if not being
collected and treated
29.
Oil sediment to lubricate
machine, equipments, broken
lamp or clout covered in oil...
This is dangerous wastes which need to be collected and
treated strictly. These solid wastes seriously affects
environment and human health if not being collected and
treated:
- Lubricant/clout covered in oil affects the growth and
development of organism living in the water if they are
thrown into lakes/rivers…
- Lubricant/clout covered in oil affects the growth and
development of organism living in the land; create land
degradation if they are buried in the land
- Broken lamp is glass and contains H2S if human beings
step on, it will affect human health directly
30.
Fire because of electric leakage - Interrupt and affect water treatment process
- Water loss in the whole water supply system during
repair time
Other impacts can be identified by field survey and public consultations. Therefore, staff/
consultants who prepare EA/EPC should use the information listed in Table 2 for reference
and prepare a similar table for each subproject, based on the information collected from
project background documents, field survey and public consultations.
14
4.4.3. Preparation of Environmental Managmeent Plan (EMP)
During EA/EPC preparation, close cooperation with the Engineering Consultant will be
required. As the Engineering Consultant will carry out an extensive survey in the project
areas, information will be obtained among others on socioeconomic conditions, public health,
water resources, and sanitary conditions. These data should be incorporated in the EA.
Considering the likely nature of subprojects, perhaps the most important stage in the EA
process will be developing and implementing an appropriate EMP. The EMP should be
prepared after taking into account comments from authorised local environmental
management agencies, and the WB where applicable, as well as any conditions upon which
clearance of the feasibility study or other documents was based.
The integration of mitigation and environmental monitoring measures into project
implementation and operation is supported by clearly defining the environmental
requirements within an EMP. The EMP provides an essential link between the impacts
predicted, mitigation measures specified and implementation and operation activities. EMP
outlines the summary of anticipated environmental impacts, the mitigation measures to
minimize these impacts, the environmental monitoring program, responsibilities for
mitigation and monitoring, timescales, plan for building capacity for environmental
management, costs of the implementation of EMP and sources of funding.
The EMP will address the following topics:
� Summary of impacts.
� Description of mitigation measures.
� Description of monitoring programs (during construction and operation).
� Institutional arrangements.
� Implementation schedule and reporting procedures.
� Cost estimates which should include a sum of costs for mitigation (if not yet included
in construction cost), monitoring, and capacity building and sources of funds.
Sound environmental practices are to be incorporated into the technical standards and
specifications and into contract documentation. The engineer responsible for the detailed
design will use and complete the findings of the EA as part of the final design, to ensure that
environmental considerations are fully taken into account. The PPMUs will submit the EMP
for review to relevant local environmental management authorities.
The PPMU will submit the EMPs with the DPC’s views for all selected sites proposed in the
respected provinces to MARD and WB for approval.
Annex provides examples of mitigation measures and monitoring programs as part of an EMP.
15
4.4.4 Public consultation and information disclosure
The Bank's safeguard policies (OP 4.01) require the client/CPO/PPMUs to facilitate public
consultation and information disclosure. Accordingly, consultation with project affected
people (PAPs) and local NGOs is recommended for Category B projects.
During environmental screening or preparation of the EPC, public consultation must be
carried out in a form convenient to the local people (e.g. survey, meeting, leaflet, signboard
etc.) and information on the main findings of environmental impact and proposed mitigation
measures must be provided in the local language. Records of feedback from public
consultation should be attached to the final draft EMP. These documents should clearly state
that environmental concerns and suggestions for environmental improvement made by the
public have been incorporated. It is advisable that EMPs include a summary table to show the
number of meetings, the place, the number of PAPs attended meetings. Some minutes of the
meetings need to be attached
The Client should confirm with the Bank that copies of the final draft EMPs (in Vietnamese)
are displayed at the project place accessible to the public and the time for such disclosure. The
Client should also confirm the release of theEMP for disclosure at the Vietnam Development
Information Center (VDIC) . The EA documents must be disclosed before site work starts.
4.5. Institutional Arrangements for the EA Process
4.5.1. Responsibilities
The responsibility for carrying out the EA process and documenting it rests with the Borrower,
which exercises its responsibility through its implementing agencies MARD. CPO and
PPMUs responsible for each subproject. CPO/PPMUs may need to hire consultants for EA
and preparation of EMPs or other related documents, for example an EIA/EPC/EMP, if they
are required. CPO/PPMU will supervise the work and preparation of reports. The
CPO/PPMUs will ensure the active and effective participation and support of community in
the preparation and implementation of EIA.
Once the EMP and, if needed, other documents have been prepared, WB/MARD as the case
may be reviews the document to ensure compliance with National Environmental Guidelines
and the World Bank's relevant Safeguard Policies. Thereafter, the EMP is forwarded to local
environmental management agencies (DONRE/DPC's as appropriate) for an environmental
certificate and to World Bank for review and clearance. PPMUs are responsible for ensuring
close coordination with DONRE during project preparation and implementation. Relevant
Vietnamese authorised authorities, which in most cases for subprojects will be the District
People’s Committee will review and approve EMPs and issue an Environment Certificate.
Responsbility for implementing the EMPs or other management documents also rests with
CPO, once again exercised through the PPMUs responsible for the subproject. EMPs are

A map of the project area should be prepared, including delineation and mapping of project
site. If existing, the location of Environmental and Cultural/Historical Critical Areas and
National Protected Areas etc. should be indicated
4.6. Implementation of EMP
CPO/PPMU is in charge of supervising the implementation of EMP and reports preparation on
a regular basis. This needs to be done through the monitoring of EMP implementation by the
PPMUs technical staff, an independent environment monitoring consultant (IEMC) hired by
the respective CPO or PPMU, and a designated community leader (community-based
monitoring).
PPMUs/IEMC will carry out conduction and management of the project according to the
regulations of the Government such as bidding process, control of time schedules, financial
issues and quality control. To the PPMU include director, deputy directors, chief accountant,
specialist of planning, construction, finance, law and environment, and administrative staff.
PPMU are encouraged to involve beneficiaries in monitoring contractor’s compliance to
EMP. The daily monitoring will be done in the community level, but PPMU will be in charge
of the sampling and analysing, which might be needed and reporting. PPMU will supervise the
Contractor in implementation of mitigation measures. PPMU is reporting the implementation
of EMP to the World Bank and DONRE based on the reports prepared by the Contractor and
the communities based on the contractual arrangements for environmental monitoring.
PPMU collects the environmental monitoring reports from the Contractors and the
communities and submits them to DONRE. PPMU should work closely with community
authorities to promote community participation in the planning, management, operation and
monitoring of the project. The resident shall be educated to understand the infrastructure
problems and their role in overcoming the problems like cleaning and maintenance of drainage
18
system, proper house connection, prevention of illegal water supply and electricity
connections, solid waste collection, condition of roads and street lighting.
PPMU should have cooperation with the concerning companies in charge of water supply,
sanitation, solid waste collection, street maintenance and electricity during the operation of the
project to monitor the operation and maintenance.
4.7. Estimation of the EMP implementation cost
The EC for RRD-RWSSP project shall:
(i) estimate the cost needed for the implementation of the EMP for RRD-RWSSP
project; and
(ii) identify the source of fund.
The The cost is needed to implement the following:
- Mitigation measures (to be included in the bidding documents);
- Environmental monitoring plan;
- Environmental training.
The cost will be incorporated in the Project’s overall cost calculation tables

Water source used
for construction
- Make a survey of current situation of surface water sources
in the project area (quality, reserves stability of water
sources). Top priority to using surface water of big rivers,
not using water sources from irrigation streams/canals.
- Determine and assess pollution sources for water
(household sewage, sewage from factories, companies
along the water source, capacity of water sources...)
- Refer to yearly monitoring data of water quality
- Check raw water quality and compare to regulation
QCVN 02:2009/BYT on National technical regulation
on domestic water quality
- Determine the place to take water: we have to calculate the
water level, not places garbage dump, toilet or water
discharge location near economic places in the area. Pay

long-term safety of construction
- Places of pump station need to be far away 200 m
residential area (if possible). This ensures that noise doesn’t
affect inhabitants life.
- Places of elevator reservoir (if have) need to be far at least
200m from residential area. This is a construction built high
with heavy load carried. Upheavals easily break out if
geographical structure is weak or construction quality is not
good.
- Avoid choosing place WTP in cultivated land with high
productivity, especially in the rice field
- WTP construction places, water pipe system need to avoid
cultural, historical buildings such as funeral, temple,
church, pagoda, big tree, historical monument, etc.

Siting
Environmental Criteria for Site Selection
Siting of WTP, water intake, pipe trenches will avoid
the followings, where possible:
- high productivity crop land, particularly rice fields
- trees cuttings
- existing infrastructure such as drainage, power line,
telephone cables, or damages to existing roads or
irrigation canals
- cultural, historical objects potentially affected,
including graves, churches, temples, pagodas, sack
trees, historical sites etc
- Siting of WTP ancillary items will satisfy the
followings, if possible:
- siting water intakes as far as possible from
downstream of landfill, toilets, or wastewater discharge
points
- Siting the water intake point (distance from river bank,
depth) taking into account pumping rate to minimise
impacts on river bed/river bank
- pumping station is located at least 200 m from the
nearest building
- siting concrete mixing plant as far as possible from
noise-sensitive sites such as classrooms, clinics, offices,
religion practices
- Waste disposal sites, construction materials temporary
loading sites, concrete mixing sites must be at least 50 m
from any surface water source.
