INTRODUCTION 1.1. Background This Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for the Northern Delta Transport Project – Component A: Inland Waterways Corridor 3 (Corridor 3) – DNC Project identifies the principles, procedures and methods that will be used to control and minimize the environmental and social impacts of all preconstruction, construction and operation activities associated with project development. It is intended to complement the project Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and to ensure that commitments made by the Project Management Unit of Waterways (PMU-W) to minimize project-related environmental and social impacts are considered throughout the duration of the project. The EMP is also a companion document to the Resettlement Assessment Plan (RAP) which aims to mitigate resettlement impacts and avoid or minimize social impacts arising from the project. As part of the continuous commitment to excellence in environmental and social performance for inland waterways projects, Ministry of Transport (MOT), through the PMU-W will ensure the following:  Fulfill all environmental and social requirements associated with project approval;  Develop, promote and foster a shared sense of responsibility for environmental and social performance of the project;  Promote environmental awareness and understanding among employees and contractors through training, identification of roles and responsibilities towards environmental and social management and linking project performance to overall environmental performance;  Encourage an understanding of social and cultural sensitivities in local communities and the importance of minimizing project impacts on local lifestyles and culture;  Monitor environmental and social performance throughout the project and implement an adaptive management approach to continuous improvement;  Work with local communities and project-affected stakeholders to ensure that they benefit as a result of project development; and  Maintain an on-going commitment to informing, engaging and involving local stakeholders in all phases of the project. 1.2. EMP Framework This EMP is designed as an overriding document in a hierarchy of control plans, and sets out the overarching framework of environmental management principles that will be applied to the project. It is directly related to the accompanying Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the DNC Project under Corridor 3 of NDTDP.

PROJECT OVERVIEW The project region of the Northern Delta Transport Development Project (NDTDP) Phase II (Project WB6) covers 3 provinces, namely: Phu Tho, Ninh Binh and Nam Dinh. The Red River Delta system make an outstanding network of inter-connected navigable waterways covering most of the northern coastal area on East/West axis for Corridor one and Northern/Southern axis for Corridor 3. It provides major transport routes from the port of Hai Phong to Pha Lai, Hanoi and Viet Tri (Corridor 1) and from ports of Viet Tri and Ninh Phuc to Day and Ninh Co River mouths (Corridor 3). The river system has naturally fairly favorable navigation condition and is extensively used for transport of main bulk commodities (sand and gravel, cement, timber coal and fertilizer). In parallel the road network of the Northern Delta region is not yet fully developed and the share of waterways transport is 67% of total transport performance in ton.km. To enhance the advantage provided by the naturally favorable conditions of Inland Waterways and its environmentally friendly contribution to the Country’s transport system the Government of Vietnam has embarked in two main projects: the Mekong Delta Transport Infrastructure Development Project (MDTIDP) and the Northern Delta Transport Development Project (NDTDP). The Vietnamese Government received a credit amount from the International Development Association (IDA) and the World Bank. This Inception report concerns the item no. CS-A5i-NDTDP. Detailed Design and Bidding Documents Preparation for Phase 2 of Northern Delta Transport Development Project (NDTDP). A feasibility study and preliminary engineering designs for the Northern Delta Transport Development Project – NDTDP was approved in 2008 including 3 components and several subcomponents as follows: Component A: Multimodal Transport Corridor Investments  Subcomponent A1. Improvements of two National Waterways corridors : (i) east-west northern corridor between Viet Tri and Quang Ninh; and (ii) north-south western corridor between Hanoi and Ninh Co River estuary.  Subcomponent A2. Improvements to Ninh Co River Estuary and an inter-connecting canal between the Day and Ninh Co Rivers with a navigation lock  Subcomponent A3. Improvements to Provincial Ports  Subcomponent A4. Pilot Maintenance Contracts Component B: Investments in small ferry boat stages The purpose of the component B is to provide safer and wider access within the region. At present, there are over 1,000 small ferry boat stages for river-crossing passenger boats. Access to these ferries from the roads is often dangerous and many accidents resulting in fatalities have occurred. This component includes developing standards for the design and NDTDP – A – Phase II – Corridor 3 - DNC– ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSEMENT Page 8 Vol2 – Environmental Management Plan (EMP) – DI-IEH 15-739 August 2016 Northern Delta Transport Development Project (NDTDP) – Corridor 3- DNC Environmental Management Plan operation of the different size ferry boat stages and will lead to the physical improvement of 15-30 of these stages. The development of a framework of standards for the design and operation of the different sizes of ferry boat stages will be part of the institutional support component for this project. Component C: Institutional support to MOT and provinces. The present Consulting Service is for Detailed Designs and preparation of bidding documents for Phase II of Northern Delta Transport Development Project (NDTDP) under Subcomponent A2 of Component A - Multimodal Transport Corridor Investments above i.e., the so-called Corridor 3. This component will include: - Support to the Vietnam Inland Waterways Administration and Provinces in implementation of Law 23/2004/QH 11 for: (a) extension of the asset management database to this region, (b) planning of and budgeting for sustainable inland Waterways management and maintenance programs, and (c) management of safety function. - Support to MOT and Provincial Departments of Transportation (PDoTs) (including navigational schools) in planning multi-modal transportation infrastructure and logistics services taking full consideration of the potential role of the private sector. - Support to MOT and provincial governments in developing and strengthening existing frameworks for private sector participation in the provision of infrastructure and services associated with provincial ports, landing stages and logistics centers. Corridor 3 consists of:  A coastal channel in Lach Giang estuary,  Several different river sections including Ninh Co and Red rivers from the sea to Hanoi,  A connecting canal between Ninh Co and Day rivers  A section of Day river from the connecting canal to Ninh Phuc port  Ninh Phuc and Viet Tri ports improvement. The overall length of Corridor 3 is 183 km (from Hanoi to Lach Giang estuary). Besides, the project will improve 2 ports: Viet Tri port (Lo River, 90 km upstream from Hanoi) and Ninh Phuc port (in Day River). The required hydrographical and topographical surveys to be undertaken, however, will cover the inland Waterways and the Lach Giang estuary. The Project is expected to increase the capacity of the inland Waterways transport system to meet growing transport demands and support economic development by reducing transport costs for both producers and consumers. After improvement the Waterways will be able to allow:  3000 DWT from Lach Giang estuary to the bifurcation point of the Day river and Dao Nam Dinh river – River mouth section 1 NDTDP – A – Phase II – Corridor 3 - DNC– ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSEMENT Page 9 Vol2 – Environmental Management Plan (EMP) – DI-IEH 15-739 August 2016 Northern Delta Transport Development Project (NDTDP) – Corridor 3- DNC Environmental Management Plan  3000 DWT and barges 4X400 Tons from the bifurcation point of the Day river and the Dao Nam Dinh river to Ninh Phuc port – River mouth section 2  1050 DWT and barges 4x400 Tons from Hanoi port to the bifurcation point of the Red river and Ninh Co river (sector of Mom Ro). – Corridor 3 – section 1  3000 DWT for the Ninh Co river – Corridor 3 – section 2 The project’s initial contents concern:  Viet Tri port modernization,  Mom Ro deviation channel and bend correction;  Do Bui bend correction;  Ninh Phuc port modernization;  A connecting canal and lock ship between Day River and Ninh Co River;  A bridge over DNC canal;  A Channel access from the sea to the estuary and breakwaters in the Ninh Co estuary (Lach Giang estuary);  Support marine through supplementing, repairing and improving aids to navigation in Red river, Day River and Ninh Co River; The Corridor 3 sub-project was accepted and the EIA + EMP + RAP were approved by the World Bank and MONRE in 2013. The construction phases started by 2013 (land clearance) and were achieved between 2014 and 2015 for:  Viet Tri port;  Mom Ro ;  Do Bui;  Ninh Phuc Port;  Lach Giang estuary;  Navigation aids. The construction of DNC canal and ship lock was delayed due to the duration of discussions between MOT, Province, Districts and Communes for the type of bridge (mobile or fixed) and for its air clearance. The alternative for the bridge over DNC canal is fixed with a fixed bridge of 15 m air clearance and was approved by MoT in the letter No.14457/BGTVT-KHĐT dated 14/11/2014. NDTDP – A – Phase II – Corridor 3 - DNC– ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSEMENT Page 10 Vol2 – Environmental Management Plan (EMP) – DI-IEH 15-739 August 2016 Northern Delta Transport Development Project (NDTDP) – Corridor 3- DNC Environmental Management Plan This phase of the project concerns:  Construction of a junction canal between Day and Ninh-Co rivers and of a ship lock following 2013 detailed design;  Construction of a fix bridge with 15 m of air clearance to cross the new canal following 2015 preliminary design;  Relocation of the access road following 2015 preliminary design. Figure 1: Location of Corridor 3 from Lach Giang to Ninh Phuc port The main design choices and considerations for the Corridor 3 are: 1) The 4 x 400 Tons barges are expected to sail from Ninh Phuc port to Hanoi port, on the Dao Nam Dinh River and the Red river. 2) The maximum sea river vessel considered to sail all the way to Hanoi has a capacity up to 1050 DWT. 3) The 3000 DWT sea river vessel will sail to Ninh Phuc port, but will not continue to Hanoi. The upgrading of the corridor 3 will entail dredging; bend corrections, bank protection, shoal regulation, a ship lock and a fix bridge at DNC area through the main canal and provision of aids to navigation. This phase of the project concerns the construction of a canal and a ship lock permitting the transfer between Day and Ninh Co River of 3000 DWT sea/river vessels and 4 x 400 Tons barges. The main objectives of the Consulting Services are:  To assist PMU-W to prepare/refine as necessary the planning and feasibility studies, including resettlement action plans and environmental management plans identified by the Feasibility Study Consultants;  To prepare detailed engineering designs, cost estimates and bidding documents for improvement of Waterways corridor 3 (including dredging, bend correction, groins and bank protection, aids to navigation system, selected for the Phase II program; NDTDP – A – Phase II – Corridor 3 - DNC– ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSEMENT Page 11 Vol2 – Environmental Management Plan (EMP) – DI-IEH 15-739 August 2016 Northern Delta Transport Development Project (NDTDP) – Corridor 3- DNC Environmental Management Plan  To ensure that environmental (including the dredge management plan), social and resettlement requirements outlined during the feasibility studies are adequately covered in designs and bidding documents. DNC Project Needs: The DNC project purposes consist in:  Construction of a junction canal between Day and Ninh Co Rivers and of a ship-lock following 2013 detailed design;  Construction of a fixed-span bridge with 15 m of air clearance to cross the new canal following 2015 preliminary design;  Relocation of the ferry access road following 2015 preliminary design. Project Location The Corridor 3 project areas are located in Northern Vietnam and concern a part of the Inland Waterways of the Red River Delta, from Hanoi to the sea. The project mostly concerns the Ninh Co River and for a smaller part, Lo and Day rivers. The initial project was divided in 6 construction sites, located in 3 provinces:  Nam Dinh province,  Ninh Binh province  Phu Tho province. The DNC project construction site is located in Nam Dinh province, Nghia Hung District, Nghia Son and Nghia Lac communes. The project includes also the reconstruction of the actual road (1195 m) and a bridge to cross the canal with 15 m of air clearance and 780 m long.

Cumulative Impacts Apart from the World Bank-financed activities under NDTDP, the Ministry of Transport or other government agencies at the Provincial and local level have no additional existing or planned activities in the Project area that would have a negative cumulative impact on Valuable Ecological Components NDTDP – A – Phase II – Corridor 3 - DNC– ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSEMENT Page 32 Vol2 – Environmental Management Plan (EMP) – DI-IEH 15-739 August 2016 Northern Delta Transport Development Project (NDTDP) – Corridor 3- DNC Environmental Management Plan relevant to Project activities – namely, water quality, aquatic biodiversity, and the quality of life of agricultural communities in the Project area and downstream. The environmental impact of the DNC Canal Project itself has long term positive environmental impacts. The Project will adopt an innovative ecological engineering approach. A mixed bank protection scheme is proposed for the Project, based on ecological bank protection (vegetation capacity to fix the banks) and classical bank protection (rip rap), which will enhance biodiversity and protect against the effect of waves and erosion on the river banks and adjoining wetland, creating and/or restoring approximately 9 ha of aquatic and wetland habitats — an area 18 times greater than the lost habitat. Moreover, the transfer of a significant portion of dredged/excavated material to Lach Giang’s Southern Disposal area will expedite the filling (and subsequent closure) of the disposal site, allowing for the plantation of income generating Casuarina trees on 30 ha of the disposal site. During the tree maturation period, this will provide favorable habitat for birds and invertebrates. It is anticipated that these ecological approaches to riverbank protection and disposal site closure – in providing examples of cost-effective and environmentally friendly mitigation solutions – will lead to a positive cumulative impact on “green” construction practices in Vietnam. All sub-projects under the Parent project are already completed and operational. As such, there will be no additional cumulative environmental or social impacts ensuing from these sub- projects. Disposal Site Due Diligence Under the DNC canal sub-project a total of 1,561,000 m3 will be excavated or dredged. The major part 1,549,000 m3 will be excavated or dredged for the Canal and Ship-lock construction. The earthworks for bridge and road will mobilize 11,700 m3 of excavation and 27,800 m3 of soil filling. There are 3 disposal sites for DNC area: 2 sites belong to 2 brick factories in the project area, namely Duc Lam and Dong Bang, and the third site is the Lach Giang Southern disposal area, which was developed under NDTDP, presented in the Lach Giang EIA of 2013 and approved by MONRE. Thus, the project will use these 3 sites to store dredging/excavating materials in the DNC construction area. All 3 sites have been approved and authorized by MONRE. - Lach Giang: one disposal area in the Southern portion of the complex was built under NDTDP. This site, which now has the purpose of implementing a casuarina plantation to be financed by the DNC canal sub-project, was built to store dredging materials from the Lach Giang bypass access channel sub-project. Although the Lach Giang project was finished, the dredging materials deposited at the Lach Giang disposal area were not sufficient to fill it up yet. At the moment, it can store from 700,000 to 1,300,000 m3 more. The surrounding area of this disposal facility is the sea and it is located far away (1500m) from the closest residential areas (see the figure below). NDTDP – A – Phase II – Corridor 3 - DNC– ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSEMENT Page 33 Vol2 – Environmental Management Plan (EMP) – DI-IEH 15-739 August 2016 Northern Delta Transport Development Project (NDTDP) – Corridor 3- DNC Environmental Management Plan Souhern disposal area - Duc Lam and Dong Bang brick factories: the land for disposal sites are belong factories. The land is borrowed from communes to produce bricks. Surrounding area is far away, 500m, from residential areas. All 3 proposes sites have been approved and authorized by MONRE. Ferry Relocation PMU-W has consulted the Department of Transport in Nam Dinh province and local authorities on the project impacts on Do Muoi ferry during construction of the DNC canal. The related parties have agreed to temporally relocate the ferry 50m to the south along the left bank of Day River. The relocation will be completed prior to construction to ensure the operating continuity of ferry. After dyke construction completion, the ferry will be restored to its current location under the same or improved conditions as it currently has. The local authorities and public will not have to pay any ferry relocation related cost, which will be borne by the project under the contractors’ packages . All related civil works of relocation and construction of the ferry will be done by the project’s contractors. The cost for ferry relocation and construction is therefore under the project’s cost. Currently, the technical plans for relocation and new construction to Do Muoi was provided by Design Consultant and has been approved by MOT.

ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING FRAMEWORK The NDTDP Phase 2 Environmental Monitoring Framework outlines the responsibilities of the PMU-W and the Contractor to monitor the environmental and social mitigation measures of the project area and to ensure it is implemented in a manner that is compliant with Vietnamese government regulations and EIA/EMP commitments. 9.1. Monitoring Objectives The objectives of the Environmental Monitoring Framework are:  To ensure project components are conducted in compliance with the Government of Vietnam’s laws and regulations and approval conditions of the EIA;  To measure the success of proposed mitigation measures in minimizing and/or reducing potential environmental and socio-economic impacts;  To continue baseline monitoring of environmental and social conditions;  To facilitate a continual review of post-construction and operation activities based on performance data and consultation feedback; and  To implement corrective actions or new adaptive management programs, as required, if proposed mitigation measures are unable to reduce and/or eliminate potential project- related impacts, or meet the predetermined level of performance. 9.2. Monitoring Framework The monitoring framework is intended to provide guidance on the content of the environmental monitoring procedures and shall not replace any Government of Vietnam standards, regulations or laws that are mandatory during construction and operation activities. It is also recommended that the PMU-W consider creating their own internal databases or registries to collect, document and present records as required. Monitoring shall start as soon as the project is given the go-ahead, and monitors shall be ready to be mobilized prior to the onset of construction activities. Monitoring shall be implemented throughout all project phases and managed by the PMU-W. The PMU-W will also be responsible for ensuring that the surrounding environment and social communities are protected throughout the life of the Corridor 3. Detail monitoring network of Noise, Air and Water is shown in Annex B. 9.3. Construction Phase Monitoring during the Corridor 3 construction phase will have two principle phases:  Implement systematic observations to periodically measure the success of proposed mitigation measures; and  Continue data collection in order to compare baseline environmental conditions with conditions during construction and operation.

Checklists shall be conducted to identify potential environmental and social issues early. Proper courses of actions shall be proposed if any proposed mitigation measures are not in compliance with Government of Vietnam regulations or unable to properly reduce and/or eliminate environmental and/or socio-economic impacts. The Contractor’s Environmental Officer (CEO) will be responsible for carrying out environmental sampling and monitoring on all environmentally related issues regarding the Construction Contractor’s activities. The CEO will review, verify and validate the performance of environmental mitigation measures and identify those issues that require additional review and management adjustments. Monthly reports shall be issued to the PMU-W and where required, the World Bank, to summarize construction activities, document those that require amendment and to identify whether or not remedial actions are needed. Table 9 identifies the monitoring activities to carry out during the Construction Phase. Table 9.

NDTDP – A – Phase II – Corridor 3 - DNC– ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSEMENT Page 93 Vol2 – Environmental Management Plan (EMP) – DI-IEH 15-739 August 2016 Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) A separate report on the Resettlement Action Plan was prepared that layout the procedure on land acquisition, compensation and resettlement due to the implementation of the NDTDP Phase I. The principle for resettlement policy in the project will be as follows: Acquisition of land and other assets, and resettlement of people will be minimized as much as possible. All DP residing, working, doing business or cultivating land within the recovered area under the Project as of the cut-off-date are entitled to be provided with rehabilitation measures sufficient to assist them to improve or at least maintain their pre-Project living standards, income earning capacity and production levels. Lack of legal rights to the assets lost will not bar the DP from entitlement to such rehabilitation measures. The rehabilitation measures to be provided are: (i) compensation at replacement cost without deduction for depreciation or salvage materials for houses and other structures; (ii) priority given for compensation mode of agricultural land-for-land of equal productive capacity acceptable to the DP; (iii) priority given for compensation mode of replacement of residential land (if any) of equal size and with access to public facilities and services acceptable to the DP; (iv) transportation and subsistence allowances, and (v) business/income rehabilitation allowances. Replacement residential and agricultural land will be as close as possible to the land that was lost, and acceptable to the DP. In case replacement land at location acceptable to the DP is not available, or at the informed request of the DP, cash compensation may be applied. If a DP loses more than 20% of his or her agricultural land holding, then in addition to the compensation for lost land, the project will provide rehabilitation /assistance measures. The resettlement transition period will be minimized and the rehabilitation means will be provided to the DP no later than one month prior to the expected start-up date of civil works in the respective Project site. Plans for acquisition of land and other assets and provision of rehabilitation measures will be carried out in consultation with the DP to ensure minimum disturbance. Entitlements will be provided to DP no later than one month prior to the expected start-up of civil works at the respective project site. The previous level of community services and resources will be maintained or improved. Adequate budgetary support will be fully committed and made available to cover the costs of land acquisition and resettlement and rehabilitation within the agreed implementation period. Physical resources for resettlement and rehabilitation will be made available as and when required. The contractors should only start their civil works in those project's sections where the compensation payment and rehabilitation assistances is completed in accordance with the project's resettlement policy. Institutional arrangements will ensure effective and timely design, planning, consultation and implementation of the Resettlement Plan (RP). Appropriate reporting, monitoring and evaluation mechanisms will be identified and set in place as part of the resettlement management system. Evaluation of the land acquisition process and the final outcome will be conducted independent of the executing agency. NDTDP – A – Phase II – Corridor 3 - DNC– ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSEMENT Page 94 Vol2 – Environmental Management Plan (EMP) – DI-IEH 15-739 August 2016 Institutional Responsibilities To implement and manage effectively the proposed environmental protection works in the project area, all parties involved in the project implementation will perform respective roles and responsibilities. The proponent sees to it that the obligations on environmental protection of contractors/sub-contractors both for supervision and construction are tied up in their contracts before approval. Organizational Structure Figure 5. Layouts the proposed Organizational Structure of the Construction Management. Ministry of Transport (MoT) Construction PMU-W Contractors Supervision Consultant Finance Management Construction Supervisors Engineering Management Management Construction Environmental Planning Unit Roles and Responsibilities Project Management Unit of Waterways The Project Management Unit of Waterways is the representative of MOT who is responsible for implementing the Law on Environmental Protection No. 52/2005/QH11. Project Management Unit is the organizer, appoints department in charge of the environment. On behalf of project management unit, the Project Manager who is most responsible for the undertaking will report to the State management agency on the status of environmental compliance of the project periodically (every 3 months) and in extraordinary cases. Binding to the Law on Environmental Protection for Vietnamese Projects are as follows: i) Preparation and inclusion of the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) in the Tender Documents. ii) The survey and environmental monitoring to be conducted during construction will be in accordance with the outline of the Environmental Impact Assessment Report. iii) Environmental Monitoring Reports will be prepared on quarterly basis and will be submitted to the Department of Natural Resources and Environment of the Provinces of Phu Tho, Nam Dinh and Ninh Binh. NDTDP – A – Phase II – Corridor 3 - DNC– ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSEMENT Page 95 Vol2 – Environmental Management Plan (EMP) – DI-IEH 15-739 August 2016 iv) Additional recommendations/mitigation measures (e.g. Independent Monitoring Consultant, Stakeholders) will be incorporated in the EMP to further lessen the impacts not predicted during the conduct of environmental assessment. v) Coordinate regularly with the Department of Natural Resources and Environment of Phu Tho, Nam Dinh and Ninh Binh provinces to know and address project-related concerns. To facilitate the implementation of the EMP, the Project Management Unit of Waterways will organize its own Environmental Unit who will be responsible in monitoring the execution of the Environmental Management Plan. When the proponent has decided to invest, project representatives will coordinate with construction contractors to implement environmental protection works strictly in accordance with the provisions of the State regulations. Representatives of PMU-W will also formulate measures as needed to further facilitate environmental management and enhance awareness among the project personnel and construction workers on environmental protection. The investor will work closely with the local authorities and provincial agencies of Phu Tho, Nam Dinh and Ninh Binh in the environmental protection work. Environmental Unit of Project Management Unit The Environmental Unit organized by the Project Management is responsible for the environmental problems of the project in accordance with policies and procedures, controls the implementation of measures for environmental protection, execution of contracts for sub-contractors, and consultants effectively. Environmental Unit is responsible for receiving information from the construction supervision consultants and contractors, handling and reporting with the Project Management Unit. Construction Supervision Consultants Construction Supervision Consultants (CSC) includes environmental engineers with experience on environmental monitoring. They will provide assistance to the Environmental Unit (EU) for timely implementation of the proposed measures to protect the surrounding environment. The CSC will advise contractors of construction to prepare and implement the Contractor’s Environmental Protection Plan/EMP. Close monitoring will be done by the CSC to check the compliance of the engineers and construction workers on the implementation of the EMP. To minimize pollution during the course of construction, monitoring activities should be implemented at locations (short or long-term) identified by the Consultant and/or PMU-W during the course of construction. A Construction Supervision Framework is presented below which will be used as guide relative to the performance of their responsibilities.

Figure 6. Mechanism and procedure of implementation NDTDP – A – Phase II – Corridor 3 - DNC– ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSEMENT Page 100 Vol2 – Environmental Management Plan (EMP) – DI-IEH 15-739 August 2016 EMP Contractor implements the EMP/ Submit reports CST Environmental Officers/Engineers Impacts monitor EMP Implementation; report to mitigated EU; CST / EU conduct site inspection An impact not mitigated Consider additional mitigation measures Organization and implementation of additional mitigation measures (*) Environmental monitoring units of the project are the Ministry of Transport, Department of Natural Resources and Environment of Phu Tho, Nam Dinh and Ninh Binh Provinces. Data Review Procedures Sampling, testing and analysis will be undertaken by the Contractor directly or as a contract to a qualified local environmental monitoring group. Field and laboratory results will be reported to the PMU-W and the Consultant within one week of collection. These results will be reviewed by appropriate staff. Various mitigation measures have to be adopted by the project to reduce identified impacts. These measures will form part of the project activities. In addition, where monitoring programs define conditions of “unacceptable impact” or exceedance of criteria, the PMU-W will review the exceedances and discuss operational issues with the Engineer for that project section. As appropriate, the Contractor or PMU-W will institute further mitigation measures. These additional measures may be short-term or long-term, depending on the nature, scope and timing of the exceedance. The PMU-W will provide, on a monthly basis, the results of monitoring and implementation of mitigation measures to the Provincial or Local People’s Committees, as well as to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment. Further, PMU-W will provide an annual summary report of NDTDP – A – Phase II – Corridor 3 - DNC– ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSEMENT Page 101 Vol2 – Environmental Management Plan (EMP) – DI-IEH 15-739 August 2016 monitoring and implementation of mitigation measures to the Provincial and Local People’s Committees and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment. Impacts on water quality In this and subsequent discussions, an exceedance of 10% or 20% has been taken as “significant” and therefore providing a reason for implementing further mitigation measures. These criteria are arbitrary, but are based on similar monitoring criteria used in China and Canada. Criteria defining unacceptable impact are: In the Waterways, if there is more than 20% reduction in dissolved oxygen or an increase of more than 50 mg/L of Total Suspended Solids at either or both monitoring transects in the Waterways for two consecutive sampling events during any one week of dredging. If unacceptable conditions occur, PMU-W will instruct the Contractor to alter dredging activities and thereby reduce release of suspended solids and associated contaminants by one or more of: (a) reducing intensity of dredging; (b) changing dredging operational practices; or (c) deploy a silt curtain around the operation. If monitoring indicates exceedances are still being experienced, PMU-W will review Contractor’s operations in more detail and provide direction to the Contractor; e.g., change definition criteria, increase the monitoring effort to better evaluate conditions while permitting exceedance, evaluating dredging methodology, or re-evaluating site conditions. Impacts related to land-based disposal Criteria defining unacceptable impact are: If there is an increase of more than 50 mg/L of Total Suspended Solids at either or both monitoring transects in the Waterways for two consecutive sampling events during any one week of dredging. If unacceptable conditions, PMU-W will instruct the Contractor to:  reduce the rate of water discharge from the land-based disposal facility;  direct the discharge water into a secondary holding pond to permit further settling before discharge to the Waterways;  Install a silt curtain at the discharge to promote settling of suspended solids while permitting (restricted) flow of water (the silt curtain to be installed in the drainage channel). Discharge from a disposal site will only be halted if, after implementing these mitigation options, monitoring still indicates exceedance. At that time, PMU-W will further review Contractor operations and provide direction to modify the activities. NDTDP – A – Phase II – Corridor 3 - DNC– ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSEMENT Page 102 Vol2 – Environmental Management Plan (EMP) – DI-IEH 15-739 August 2016 Noise impacts Criteria defining unacceptable impact are:  Persistent noise (lasting longer than 1 hour) greater than 10 dB above the maximum allowable for that district and time of day.  Abrupt event noise greater than 15 dB above the maximum allowable for that district and time of day with the event lasting no longer than 1 minute at the impact boundary. If unacceptable conditions are reported, PMU-W will instruct the Contractor to reduce noise levels to meet monitoring criteria. This may require the Contractor to install additional noise dampening. Alternatively, PMU may require the Contractor to alter the timing of certain work practices to meet criteria. If the further monitoring indicates unacceptable impact, PMU-W will further review site activities and provide direction to the Contractor.
