SUMMARY Project Origin The Government of Vietnam received a loan from the World Bank for Vietnam Emergency Natural Disaster Reconstruction Project including Binh Dinh, Phu Yen, Ninh Thuan, Quang Ngai and Ha Tinh provinces (hereafter called the ENDR). The Project Development Objective is to reconstruct infrastructure assets in the project areas. The project consists of 03 components including: (1) Resilient Reconstruction of Damaged Public Use and Preventive Infrastructure at the Provincial Level; (2) Disaster Recovery Capacity Enhancement; (3) Project Management Support;. Tentative time of the ENDR project implementation is 4 years, from 2017 and to 2020. The total project cost is US$135.83 million. The Ha Tinh subproject includes similar components with ENDR project: Component 1: Resilient Reconstruction of Flood-Damaged Infrastructure in Ha Tinh Province: Subcomponent 1: Reconstruction spillway, Outlet and upgrade Dyke Phuc-Long –Nhuong; Subcomponent 2: Reconstruction Khe Tria outlet and upgrade canal; Subcomponent 3: Reconstruction Tan Dua and My Thuan bridge. Component 2: Disaster recovery capacity enhancement (US$0.100 million): Training for capacity enhancement, public communication to promote efficiency of financed works; Cost for operation and maintenance (O&M). Component 3: Subproject management (US$2.470 millionD). The total cost of the Ha Tinh subproject is US$17.65 million. Legal and Technical Basis for ESMP The Ha Tinh subproject has been classified as Environmental Category B due to its moderate, site-specific, and reversible potential impacts and risks which can be mitigated with readily designed measures. The following World Bank safeguard policies have been triggered for Ha Tinh subproject: (a) Environmental Assessment (OP 4.01); (b) Natural Habitats (OP/BP 4.04); (d) Physical Cultural Resources (OP/BP 4.11); (e) Involuntary Resettlement (OP/BP 4.12). A Social and Environmental Management Plan (ESMP, this document) has been prepared in accordance with OP 4.01. The ESMP cover the works proposed for the first 18 months of the Ha Tinh subproject Subproject Description For Ha Tinh subproject in the first 18 months, 4 works will be constructed: (1) Reconstruct Spillway 19/5 (B = 79 cm & elevation of spillway threshold: 1,15m), Outlet 19/5 (5 gates with B = 2.5m/gate, elevation of culvert bottom is -1.5m), repair and reinfore Phuc- Long- Nhuong dyke (1571,1 m), Cam Xuyen district; (2) Reconstruct of Khe Tria Outlet (two gates, B = 12.5m/gate, Elevation of Outlet bottom is -1.5m); repair and reinfore 1200m of channel, Nghi Xuan district; (3) Reconstruct Tan Dua bridge (L = 166.7m,B = 5.5m) and My Thuan bridge (L = 64.43m, B = 5.5m). Each work item of the subcomponent will be constructed in 8-12 months (from 7/2017 - 7/2018). Environmental and social baselines According to the summary of Ha Tinh environmental status in the period 2011 - 2015: In general, surface water quality in Ha Tinh area had no signs of pollution except in some rivers near the urban areas of Ha Tinh city, Hong Linh town, Ky Anh town and near the discharging areas of some seafood processing factories, which have been contaminated organically. The quality of air, surface water, groundwater and soil are good. Most of the subproject areas are far from residential areas: (i) There is three residential area around the site (about 50 househods/ residential), nearest distance to construction site is 50 - 200m, (ii) The area surrounding Khe Tria Outlet with a radius of 500m with 18 households Consultant: IAC Viet Nam Page 1 ESMP of “Vietnam Emergency Flood Disaster Reconstruction Project – Ha Tinh subproject” living in (iii) About 100m from Tan Dua bridge, there are 3 HHs, and (iv) About 100m from My Thuan bridge, there are 4 HHs. Some sensitive areas/receptors include: (i) Duoi Church is about 1km from the Spillway on Phuc-Long-Nhuong Dyke; (ii) Huong Trach Church of Tan Hoi Parish (lie in the side of NH15) is 100m from Tan Dua bridge. There is no PCR being affected in all 4 subproject areas. Environmental and Social Impacts and Risks The subproject’s potential impacts and risks have been identified. These are mostly temporal, localized and reversible due to the medium sized construction works. The impacts can be mitigated by applying appropriate technologies and site-specific mitigation measures together with close supervision by the contractor and consultation with local community. Generic impacts Dust, air emission, noise, vibration, wastewater and solid waste are generated construction and worker’s activities. These are considered from low to moderate for each works and can be mitigated. Site-specific impacts Social impacts: The subproject is estimated to implement land acquisition as follows 9,939 m² of land owned by 22 households and managed by 05 commune/town PCs is permanently acquired, of which: (i) Affected agricultural land area: 750 m2; (ii) Affected public area: 9,189 m2 managed by 05 commune/ward PCs, including specialized land, stream and river land, transport road; (iii) Temporary land acquisition: 4700m2 of land managed by 04 communes (without temporary acquisition of land managed by Cam Phuc commune). Total 47 households are affected by construction, in which: (i) 22 households are in Ky Son commune directly affected by land acquisition for reconstruction My Thuan bridge; ii) 25 households are indirectly affected by cultivation on land area managed by PC; (iii) none of households have to relocate and resettle; (iv)12 households fall into vulnerable households, of which 06 households are severely affected (losing 10% or more of). (Details are shown in RAP under the subproject). Impacts on agricultural production activities of local people include: (1) Spillway & Outlet on Phu-Long-Nhuong Dyke; and (2) Khe Tria Outlet. Dust from transportation, excavation and backfilling will affect the health of local people during rice cultivation as well as the development of rice. If not well gather and transport material, when it rain or heavy winds happen, dust and material will spill over the field, affecting the growth of rice. This impact is insignificant and can be minimized. Disruption of water supply: These impacts might occur during construction of the spillway and outlet on Phuc-Long-Nhuong dyke which is responsible for supplying water for 700ha. Reconstruction is likely to prevent irrigation water supply, special in the growth period of rice (from February to May and July to September), damaging economic aspects of local people. The impact level is medium but this impact can be minimized by applying technical measures and construction time arrangement. Impacts on water environment and aquatic communities: Spillway & Outler on Phuc-Long- Nhuong Dyke and Tan Dua bridge, and My Thuan bridge. The impact can increase turbidity, construction material into rivers (19/5, Ngan Sau, Tri). During the construction phase, a amount of domestic waste and wastewater (1.6-2.4 m3/day) from workers’ camps can be discharged directly into river, would cause organic pollution (BOD, COD) and nutrient pollution (N, P) to the receiving waters. The level of the impacts, therefore, is low temporary and could be mitigated by good construction practices. Consultant: IAC Viet Nam Page 2 ESMP of “Vietnam Emergency Flood Disaster Reconstruction Project – Ha Tinh subproject” Risk of Outlet subsidence during construction process: (1) Outlet on Phu-Long-Nhuong Dyke; and (2) Khe Tria Outlet. During the under construction, if the heavy rain happens causing big flood, damage work items as sunken (spillway, outlet and dyke), eroded (wing wall of spillway and outlet, dyke, channel, bridge), broken (valve of outlet, piers of bridge). These impacts are small and mitigable. Risk of falling into rock: In dry season, water level is low, river bed has many original rocks. If careless and not equipped labor protection, workers may be injured by falls into rocks from elevation 2,5m. Location can occur at My Thuan bridge. Risk of traffic accidents: Tan Dua and My Thuan bridge. The impact level is low and may be minimized. Impacts on sensitive receptors: The construction of the different items of subproject will likely impact some sensitive receptors: (i) Duoi Church is 1km from Spillway and Outlet on Phuc-Long-Nhuong Dyke; and (ii) Huong Trach Church is opposite to Tan Dua bridge. Dust, noise, vibration, traffic accidents and conflicts between workers and catholics during transportation impact on spiritual activities of about 400 christian of Duoi Church and 500 christian of Huong Trach church. The impact level is assessed to be medium, temporary and possibly minimized. Mitigation measures Mitigation on generic impacts The mitigation measures are given specifically for each impact source mentioned above in each phase of the subproject including Common impact mitigation measures (ECOPs), site- specific mitigation measures and impact mitigation measures on sensitive receptors, as well as social impact mitigation measures. Site-specific impacts Social impacts: (i) mitigating impacts from land acquisition for households in the subproject area; and (ii) prioritizing the construction option which requires the smallest land acquisition area. Total cost for compensation, support and resettlement of the 8 work items is 651,185,600 VND, equivalent to 28,687 USD. Mitigation of impacts on agricultural production activities: Inform people about the time of construction so that people have plant to irrigation; Must arranges a suitable schedule; Mustn’t gather construction materials, and limit the excavation and backfilling in the sowing and harvesting period; Must cover material and gather in the suitable place. Mitigation of disruption of water supply: - Use coffer dam for mitigating impacts incurred during the construction period on the quality of water sources and remain the water supply through the spillway and outlet. For spillway and outlet on Phuc-Long-Nhuong dyke, the construction of outlet first and spillway later in combination with surrounding dyke to ensure water supply through the outlet and spillway. Mitigation of Impacts on water environment and aquatic communities: Create sedimentation traps, do not construct in the rain season, do not gather construction materials as well as machines and equipment near the river. Ensure compliance mitigation measures in the ECOP. Mitigation of Risk of Outlet subsidence during construction process: Restrict works in the rainy season to reduce risk to water pollution accordingly; Ensure heavy equipment and loaded vehicles are parked a safe distance from all river banks; Ensure the constant presence of supervision consultants and contractors during construction to monitor the potential risk of erosion and landslides and if necessary take the appropriate actions. Consultant: IAC Viet Nam Page 3 ESMP of “Vietnam Emergency Flood Disaster Reconstruction Project – Ha Tinh subproject” Mitigation of Risk of falling into rock : Establish labor regulations; Ensure that workers will be equipped with labor protection equipment, especially helmet; Provide emergency first aid at the site; Install handrail on both side of the bridge. Mitigation of Impacts on sensitive receptors: Inform local people about construction time; Do not transport, use mechanics which have heavy noise and construct items that generate a lot of dust and noise through the church on Major religious holidays(*); Install fences, barriers for dangerous warning/prohibition sites around the construction area which show potential danger to the public; Increasing watering the road near the Huong Trach church to 4 times/day; Request workers to strictly comply with labor regulations; Recruit local labors Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) The ESMP of Ha Tinh subproject includes measures to reduce the negative impacts; roles and responsibilities for ESMP implementation, supervisors, environmental compliance framework, reporting arrangements, environmental monitoring program, capacity building progaram and the cost for ESMP implementatio. Of which: the cost for environmental quality monitoring is about 2,009 USD and cost for capacity building is 7,048 USD. ESMP during construction requires the involvement of several stakeholders and agencies, each with different roles and responsibilities including, PPMU, DONRE (Ha Tinh Department of Natural Resources and Environment), the Contractors, the Construction Supervision Consultant (CSC), and local communities Public Consultation and Information Disclosure Public Consultation: Public consultations on the subproject’s draft ESMP has been implemented in 5 communes/town of Ha Tinh province in March 2017. Meeting was held with the the representatives of local authorities, mass organizations; households to be directly affected by the subproject. Local authorities and people of ward/commune in the subproject area totally agreed with the implementation of the subproject because it will bring many socio-economic and environmental benefits. However, it is required to ensure environmental sanitation during construction process, particularly prevention from dust, gas, damage of roads and construction needs to be fast to ensure scheduled progress. Information Disclosure: The first draft ESMP in Vietnamese had been published at the offices of 5 communes/town and the Ha Tinh PPMU in May 2017 for public hearing. The final ESMP in Vietnamese language was published at the offices of 5 communes/town and the Ha Tinh PPMU on June 12nd, 2017. The final draft ESMP in English will be disclosed at the World Bank's internal and external websites on June 20th, 2017.

The World Bank (WB) safeguard policies (1) Project level The following World Bank safeguard policies have been triggered: (a) Environmental Assessment (OP 4.01); (b) Natural Habitats (OP/BP 4.04); (c) Pest Management (OP 4.09); (d) Physical Cultural Resources (OP/BP 4.11); and (e) Involuntary Resettlement (OP/BP 4.12). The subproject has been classified as Environmental Category B subproject due to most of the potential impacts and risks are expected to be at moderate level, site-specific, and reversible which can be mitigated with readily designed known measures. In addition, the Bank’s requirements on public consultation and information disclosure will also be followed (2) Subproject level Environmental Assessment (OP/BP 4.01) Environmental Assessment (EA) is an umbrella policy for the Bank’s safeguard policies. The overarching objective is to ensure that Bank-financed projects are environmentally sound and sustainable, and that decision-making is improved through appropriate analysis of actions and of their likely environmental impacts. The EA process is intended to identify, avoid and mitigate potential impacts of Bank operations. EA takes into account the natural environment (air, water, and land); human health and safety; social aspects (involuntary resettlement, and physical cultural resources); and transboundary and global environmental aspects. EA considers natural and social aspects in an integrated way. Under Ha Tinh subproject, the first phase will carry out new construction of culverts and spillway over river 19/5 on Phuc –Long-Nhuong dyke, Cam Xuyen district; Repair and reconstruction of Khe Tria Outlet, Nghi Xuan; New construction of Tan Dua and My Thuan Consultant: IAC Viet Nam Page 9 ESMP of “Vietnam Emergency Flood Disaster Reconstruction Project – Ha Tinh subproject” bridges, Ky Anh district. The implementation process will cause potential negative impacts on environment and daily lives of local people in the subproject area, especially in the construction period. As policy OP 4.01, environment plan and social management plan (ESMP) and Environmental Protection Plan (EPP) or Environmental Impacts Assessment (EIP) will be also prepared in accordance with the GoV’s regulations. The subproject’s official ESMP and EPP will be announced in CPCs in the subproject areas and Ha Tinh PPMU in June/2017. Physical Cultural Resources (OP/BP 4.11) The subproject sites have been screened for PCR. Construction of the subproject items would affect some temples and pagodas located near the construction sites during construction. Therefore this policy is triggered. As the subproject involves certain quantity of earth works, the ESMP included ECOPs which covers a chance find procedure to address issues related to PCRs encountered during construction. Natural Habitats (OP/BP 4.04) This Policy is intended to prohibit the Bank-financed subprojects that cause significant degradation or conversion of critical natural habitats. The Bank does not support subprojects involving the significant conversion of natural habitats unless there are no feasible alternatives for the subproject and its siting, and comprehensive analysis demonstrates that overall benefits from the subproject substantially outweigh the environmental costs. If the environmental assessment indicates that the subproject would significantly convert or degrade natural habitats, the subproject includes mitigation measures acceptable to the Bank. The subproject interventions are not located near or within any critical natural habitats and mainly involve rehabilitation and reconstruction activities on the existing infrastructures. Therefore, it will neither affect any protected areas nor rare and endangered flora or fauna species or high biodiversity areas. However, pollution risks related to removal and disposal of substantial quantities of non-hazardous construction materials associated with the destroyed structures (embankment protection devices, bridges) consisting of concrete, scrap metal, stone, sand from irrigation canals and small streams for rehabilitation and reconstruction works could affect natural habitats such as rivers or streams. Therefore, this policy is triggered. Impacts on natural habitats and associated mitigations measures will be addressed in the relevant subproject ESMPs. Involuntary Resettlement (OP/BP 4.12) OP 4.12 seeks to prevent severe long-term hardship, impoverishment, and environmental damage to the affected peoples during involuntary resettlement. It applies whether or not affected persons must move to another location. The Bank describes all these processes and outcomes as “involuntary resettlement,” or simply resettlement, even when people are not forced to move. Resettlement is involuntary when the government has the right to expropriate land or other assets and when affected people do not have the option to retain the livelihood situation that they have. The affected areas will benefit from restored access to public services/facilities, thereby increasing the economic growth and access to social services. The reconstructed critical flood prevention structures and the restored roads and bridges will also increase the safety of people and assets and serve as supply and rescue lines in the event of a disaster. The survey results showed that the implementation of works items under Ha Tinh subproject within first 18- month period will affect 47 households, in which 22 households are directly affected by land acquisition and 25 households are indirectly affected by cultivation on land area managed by commune/ward PCs; affecting 9,939m² of land. Consultant: IAC Viet Nam Page 10 ESMP of “Vietnam Emergency Flood Disaster Reconstruction Project – Ha Tinh subproject” The subproject RAP will be prepared and submitted to the Bank for approval. The respective Provincial People’s Committee (PPC) will then approve the RAP and all compensation, assistance and resettlement activities should be completed prior to civil works commencement. World Bank Group Environmental, Health, and Safety Guidelines World Bank-financed subprojects should also take into account the World Bank Group Environmental, Health, and Safety Guidelines (known as the "EHS Guidelines"). The EHS Guidelines are technical reference documents with general and industry-specific examples of Good International Industry Practice. The EHS Guidelines contain the performance levels and measures that are normally acceptable to the World Bank Group and are generally considered to be achievable in new facilities at reasonable costs by existing technology. The environmental assessment process may recommend alternative (higher or lower) levels or measures, which, if acceptable to the World Bank, become subproject- or site-specific requirements. This subproject should conform to these Guidelines. 2. SUBPROJECT DESCRIPTION 2.1.

NATURAL ENVIRONMENT AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC CONDITIONS 3.1. Natural conditions 3.1.1. Topographic characteristics Ha Tinh is located in East of Truong Son mountain range. The mountainous terrain covers 80% natural area, the plain area makes up only small area and is separated by mountain ranges and rivers and streams. The subproject area is characterized by two main terrains as follows: - Tectonic valley- intrusion: This terrain makes up a small area but brings huge advantages for agricultural production. The height is less than 300m, including Ngan Sau river valley, paralleling to the mountain range. The terrain is formed by crumbled sediment and prone to intrusion. The terrain of Khe Tria Outlet, Tan Dua bridge and My Thuan bridge belongs to Consultant: IAC Viet Nam Page 21 ESMP of “Vietnam Emergency Flood Disaster Reconstruction Project – Ha Tinh subproject” this type. - Plain area: Ha Tinh is located along the coastal area with an average height of under 3 m. The terrain is lowly undulated from the mountainous area to the West and narrows down toward the South. In general, the terrain is relatively plain, especially the region formed by large rivers in the province. The province’s soil mechanics is argillaceous soil from medium to low. The terrain of the Spillway and Outlet on Phuc-Long-Nhuong Dike belongs to this type. 3.1.2. Geological characteristics Ha Tinh Investment Consultant and Construction JSC drilled to take samples. The result shows that the construction locations have a stable geological foundation. Detail geological drilling results are shown in the Table 7.

Characteristics of rivers and lakes The subproject area involves 3 rivers and one lake: - 19/5 River: length 8km run through communes: Cam yen, Cam Nam and Cam Phuc flow into Consultant: IAC Viet Nam Page 22 ESMP of “Vietnam Emergency Flood Disaster Reconstruction Project – Ha Tinh subproject” Gia Hoi river and flow to Cua Nhuong (distance from the spillway to Gia Hoi river is 1,3km). In the dry season, maximum of discharge is 0.466m3/s with elevation by 1.25m. In the rainfall season, maximum of discharge is 196 m3/s and with elevation of 2.2m. Spillway and Outlet on Phuc-Long-Nhuong Dyke is installed in this river. - Ngan Sau and Tri river (subproject section): In the dry season, maximum of discharge is 0.23m3/s with elevation by 0.57m. In the rainfall season, maximum of discharge is 196 m3/s with elevation by 2.2m. Tan Dua and My Thuan bridges are built cross over the two rivers. - Dong Tray Lake: Normal water level is 12.3m; flood water level is 12.67m; V = 106m3. Khe Tria Outlet and channel are designed for drainage of May-flood (Qmax =26.5m3/s) of Dong Tray lake. 3.2. Current status of environmental quality Taking samples was carried out in the subproject area in March 2017. Specifically, total of 5 samples were taken including 5 samples of air, 4 samples of surface water and 4 samples of ground water. Samples are analyzed by Ha Tinh Technology and Monitoring Center. The results showed that air environmental quality in the area is good in accordance with the QCVN 05:2013/BTNMT and QCVN 06:2010/BTNMT. Quality of existing water surface is still good in line with QCVN 08:2015/BTNMT. The underground water is within the permissible level of the QCVN 09:2015/BTNTM. According to overall results from Ha Tinh Technology and Monitoring Center, the content of heavy materials such as Cu, Pb, As in 2016 are within the allowable level of QCVN 03:2015/BTNMT Therefore, the environmental quality in the subproject area has not shown any signs of pollution to environmental component, the monitoring parameters are within the allowable standards. 3.3. Current status of biological resources The subproject ecosystem around construction sites is the agricultural ecosystem; There are no national forest or protected areas near the sites. Plants in the subproject area mainly are food crops such as rice, corn, potato, cassava, fruit trees and timbers such as longan, guava, jackfruit, eucalyptus and acacia. Surrounding the subproject area, no precious plants are found Terrestrial animals in the subproject area are those familiar to the human such as flower pecker, sparrow, lizards, frog. The aquatic ecosystem includes fish: anabas, carp, hypophthalmichthys, shrimp, crab, algae, pistia, etc. In general, the fauna and flora in the subproject area are common ones without any specious species and having no value in terms of ecology. 3.4. Socio-economic conditions 3.4.1. Features of socio-economic The works cover 5 rural communes in Ha Tinh. These are poor communes with dispersed population which has an average density of 4000 person/1km2. There is no ethnic minority people live in these areas. Local people living around the subproject area mainly rely on agriculture Consultant: IAC Viet Nam Page 23 ESMP of “Vietnam Emergency Flood Disaster Reconstruction Project – Ha Tinh subproject” Table 8: Socio-economic information of communes in the subproject area Ratio of Ratio of Ratio of Commune/ District/ Areas Popu. pop. poor near poor No. Household Town City (ha) (person) increase household household (%) (%) (%) Xuan Vien Nghi 1 2,124.70 4208 1322 0.63 6.22 - commune Xuan Huong Trach Huong 2 11,230.06 7245 1857 0.86 7.34 - commune Khe Ky Son 3 Ky Anh 89.99 5848 1342 0.71 15.43 8.73 commune Cam Phuc Cam 4 57.36 8,113 1948 0.92 8.2 8.6 commune Xuyen Thien Cam Cam 5 1,407.17 4939 968 - 11.7 - Town Xuyen (Source: Socio-economic development situation report of communes/towns in 2016) 3.4.2. Infrastructure characteristic 1. Water supply system In the subproject area, there has been no hygienic water system. Domestic water of local people is from drilled wells. Water for the subproject use is from wells of households near the site. Water for the construction is from rivers: 19/5, Ngan Sau, Tri and from Dong Tray lake. At the region which is hard to access water sources, the contractor may discuss with neighboring households for using their water or drilled wells at the site. 2. Water drainage Currently, the subproject areas don’t have drainage and wastewater treatment system. Stormwater and effluent are released into 19/5, Ngan Sau, Tri river. Wastewater of households near the site is treated through squat toilets. By this, water will be evaporated and absorbed into the soil and flow to the river and stream. Overflow stormwater run along the slope terrain and absorb into the soil before flowing into the streams and rivers. 3. Electricity supply The subproject areas are equipped with national power system for domestic and construction activities. 4. Solid waste management Environmental sanitation in 4 sites of the subproject, normally households gather domestic waste in regulated points where the waste collection team of the district/town will collect every three-four times per week. Solid waste collection at the subproject area is carried out by 4 cooperatives in the Infrastructure-Economic Division of the district, town and Ha Tinh Urban Environment Joint Stock Company. The road system in the subproject area include inter-village concrete road (class 5 road) with allowable load as 8 tons; the road is connected to NHs (class 2 road): NH1A, NH8B, NH12, AH131, NH15. Thus, the transportation of materials to the works is very favorable. Therefore, in this subproject, contractor have to use trucks under 8 tons.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL IMPACTS In general, all work items are small and medium-sized construction, in which, the majority of negative impacts on the environment are temporary and can be mitigated through the adoption of measures to manage the construction and appropriate technological engineering, under the strict supervision of implementation process of contractors and local public consultation. Consultant: IAC Viet Nam Page 26 ESMP of “Vietnam Emergency Flood Disaster Reconstruction Project – Ha Tinh subproject” 4.1. Impacts in pre-construction phase 4.1.1. Generic impacts 1. Air quality impacts  Dust Dust generation activities include (i) demolition existing works damaged by natural disaster in 03 sites (Spillway & Outlet on Phuc-Long-Nhuong Dyke; Khe Tria Outlet and My Thuan bridge); (ii) clearance of trees and bushes in all of 04 sites; (iii) transportation of waste disposal. The results of calculating the dust content arising from the demolition of the subproject items are as follows: Table 10: Concentration of dust arising from demolition Transportation QCVN 05:2013/ Demolition Demolition No. Work item of waste BTNMT volume (m3) (1h) (mg/m3) (mg/m3) (mg/m3) Spillway and Outlet 1 on Phuc-Long- 2293 0.16 0.23 Nhuong Dyke 2 Khe Tria Outlet 423 0.12 0.19 0.3 3 Tan Dua bridge 35 0.05 0.04 4 My Thuan bridge 562 0.5 0.34 (i) Dust generated by demolition is calculated 1 hour at the 04 sites from 0.05 ÷ 0.16 mg/m 3 less than the permitted limit of QCVN 05:2013/BTNMT (0.3mg/m3). Except at My Thuan Bridge, the concentration is 0.5 mg/m3 larger than the standard about 1.7 time. Dust generation can affect air quality, workers and local people in neighboring area of the subproject, special in My Thuan bridge. However, distance from the nearest household to the site is 100m (04 households), this impact is small. (ii) During the pre-construction phase, temporary traffic congestion occurs on existing temporary roads. Constructor use truck under 8 tons with volume = 5 m 3. Thus, based on volume of waste and demolition time (6-12 day), number trips to transport are 72 trips/day/4 sites. The distance from construction site to the disposal site, dust emission from transportation of waste from 0.04 to 0.23, lower than QCVN 05:2013/BTNMT, except at My Thuan Bridge, the concentration is 0.34 mg/m3 larger than the standard about 1.1 times. This impact will affect to local people who live along the route. However, the transportation times is short (01-02 weeks/01 site), the impact level is low and can be mitigated.  Air emission Emission from construction Construction of subproject items will use some construction machines and equipment. Most of the devices use Diezel, so the process of operation will emit pollutants such as: dust, CO, SO2, NOx. Emission arising from the operation of machines and equipment on the construction site is shown in the Table 11 Table 11: Emission arising from construction Concentrations (mg/m3) No Work item SO2 NOx CO 1 Spillway and Outlet on Phuc-Long-Nhuong Dyke 0.01 0.14 1.2 2 Khe Tria Outlet 0.01 0.19 1.1 Consultant: IAC Viet Nam Page 27 ESMP of “Vietnam Emergency Flood Disaster Reconstruction Project – Ha Tinh subproject” Concentrations (mg/m3) No Work item SO2 NOx CO 3 Tan Dua bridge 0.00 0.03 0.6 4 My Thuan bridge 0.01 0.14 1.2 QCVN 05:2013/ BTNMT 0.35 0.2 30 (Source: Environmental Impact Assessment report of Ha Tinh subproject) Emission concentration in all sites is lower than QCVN 05:2013/BTNMT. This will be effect to workers but this impact is small. Emission from material transportation Air emission generated from using diesel of trucks. On average, from 72 trips/day/4 sites with the distance from the site to disposal site is 3.3 – 5km. The fuel consumption norm of 8-ton truck is about 0.0018 tons of diesel/10km; therefore, the fuel consumption is approximately: 0.1 tons of diesel/day. The calculated pollutant load from the waste transportation is showed in Table 12 Table 12: Emission arising from transportation Concentrations (mg/m3) No Work item SO2 NOx CO 1 Spillway and Outlet on Phuc-Long-Nhuong Dyke 0.01 2.1 7,5 2 Khe Tria Outlet 0.01 0.31 3,3 3 Tan Dua bridge 0.01 0.05 1,9 4 My Thuan bridge 0.01 0.46 2,9 QCVN 05:2013/ BTNMT 0.35 0.2 30 (Source: Environmental Impact Assessment report of Ha Tinh subproject) Concentration of SO2 and CO in all of 4 sites is lower than QCVN 05:2013/BTNMT. However, concentration of NOx in 03 sites is higher than 1.5 to 10 times except at Tan Dua Bridge. This impact will impact to local people who are living along the road. However, these are rural areas, low population density; transportation happen in short time, this impact is considered minor can be mitigated.  Noise Noise is generated from the operation of trucks, bulldozers excavator and electric generator. Noise levels of typical machinery and equipment are presented in Table 13. Table 13: Noise arising during the construction process No. Type of machines Noise level over source 15m (dBA) 1. Heavy trucks 70-96 2. Bulldozer 77-95 3. Excavator 75-86 4. Electric generator 72-82 QCVN 26/2010/BTNMT: 6:00 to 21:00 is 70 dBA; from 21:00 to 6:00 is 55 dBA; Noise level ranges from 70-90 dBA at the position which is 15m away from the source. Noise affects life of workers on construction site and local people. Thus, according to noise level calculation as distance to source, within the scope of 120m-250m, the noise volume is under the limit in QCVN 26:2010/BTNMT. At all 04 sites, distance from nearest household to the Consultant: IAC Viet Nam Page 28 ESMP of “Vietnam Emergency Flood Disaster Reconstruction Project – Ha Tinh subproject” sites is 50-100m. Thus worker and local people will be affected from noise. However, impacts from noise are insignificant and infrequent, which mainly from operation time of machines and equipment, the impacts are mitigable.  Vibration The vibration happens in a short time, with vibration level of 63-99 dBA at distance of 10m from the source at the construction site. As calculated, the vibration caused by bulldozers, excavator and electric generator at the distance of 50m is lower than allowable limit in QCVN 27:2010/BTNMT. Because distance from nearest household to the sites is 50-100m, worker is the mainly impact factor by vibration. Thus, this impact is small and can be mitigable. 2. Water quality impacts - Construction wastewater: generated from concrete curing; machine repair and facility and material washing. The wastewater volume ia approximately 0.5-1 m3/day/site and occur in 1-2 weeks. This wasterwater contains a large amount of sediment, suspended solids and may cause negative impacts on the rivers (19/5, Ngan Sau and Tri) if it is discharged directly into the environment. This impact is considered is small due to the short construction time and can be minimized. - Domestic wastewater: generated from 5-10 workers for each work item. As calculated by the water supply 80 lit/person/day, the average volume of wastewater discharged is 0.4-0.8 m3/day for each work item. Ingredients of wastewater include suspended sediment, oil, grease, organic content, soluble organic matters (like BOD5, COD), nutrients (Nitrogen, Phosphorous) and bacteria. If there is no system for collecting and treating daily wastewater, there will be a source of pollutant being discharged into the environment (rivers: 19/5, Ngan Sau and Tri). This will be a considerable pollution source, directly affecting living condition of workers and people around the suproject area. This impact is considered minor because Contractor will use local labor. - Runoff:.Surface runoff from heavy rains can sweep soil, sand, other materials and waste... toward water bodies, causing increased suspended solids in surface water source. large surface runoff usually occur in August and November (rainy season). Pollutants from surface runoff can affect living aquatic organisms in surface water ecosystem at 15/9, Ngan Sau and Tri rivers when turbidity is increased , affecting navigation on these rivers. However, the local ecosystem is simple and the so the impact will not be significant. The impact is low, short term, in small scale and can be mitigable by suitable schedule. 3. Solid waste and hazardous waste generation - Domestic solid waste: There are 5-10 people working at each construction site. As calculated by 0.3 kg/person/day, the total volume of domestic solid waste is 1.5-3 kg/day for each work item. Domestic solid waste generated from construction of each work item is small volume but is the main pollution source due to the decaying of organic matters causing stinky smell, wastewater and infectious bacteria. However, construction sites of the subproject are at different and scattered areas and mostly far from residential areas the impact is considered to be low and can be mitigated. - Construction solid waste: Construction solid waste is mainly debris from demolition of old works, cleared plants. The volume of excavated/dredged materials generated during construction is from 35 m3 to 2293 m3 depend on each work item. This waste will be transported to the disposal sites. This impact is considered minor. - Hazardous waste: Hazardous waste generated are mainly originated from maintenance, oil replacement and repair of construction machines at the site. The total amount of hazardous waste generated in this phase is calculated about 0.5 kg/day and total of 1 - 2 kg for during Consultant: IAC Viet Nam Page 29 ESMP of “Vietnam Emergency Flood Disaster Reconstruction Project – Ha Tinh subproject” pre-construction phase. This volume is very small but waste oil may cause pollution water and soil environment. However this phase happen in a short time and the contractor is required not to carry out these activities on site, thus this impact is low. 4. Temporary impacts on transport in the region During the pre-construction phase, temporary traffic congestion occurs on existing temporary roads. Constructor use truck under 8 tons with volume = 5 m3. Thus, base on volume of waste and demolition time (6-12 day), number trips to transport is 72 trips/day/4 sites. Therefore, this impact is low. 4.1.2. Site-specific impacts Specific impact in the pre-construction is land acquisition. Subproject is implemented in 05 communes: Xuan Vien, Huong Trach, Ky Son, Cam Phuc, Thien Cam town. Affected land areas are shown in Table 14. Table 14: Affected households and affected area from works No. Items Affected land 1 Subcomponent 1 Thien Cam Town:  Reconstruct:  Affected household: - Spillway - 06 household only lost trees and crops because they plant on construction protection corridor illegally. - Outlet - There is no displaced households  Repair and Upgrade  Affected land: 7000 m2 of construction protection corridor is affected, in which: - Phuc-Long- Nhuong Dyke - Permanently acquired land: 3600 m2 - Temporarily acquired land: 3400 m2 Cam Phuc commune:  Affected household: - 02 household only lost trees and crops because they plant on construction protection corridor illegally. - There is no displaced households 2  Affected land: 1489 m of construction protection corridor is affected permanently. 2 Subcomponent  Affected household: 2: - 15 household only lost trees and crops because they plant on construction Reconstruct: Khe protection corridor illegally.

Tan Dua bridge - There is no displaced households 2  Affected land: 1800 m of construction protection corridor is affected, in which: Consultant: IAC Viet Nam Page 30 ESMP of “Vietnam Emergency Flood Disaster Reconstruction Project – Ha Tinh subproject” No. Items Affected land - Permanently acquired land: 1100 m2 2  Temporarily acquired land: 700 m 4 Subcomponent  Affected household: 3: - 22 household lost land and assets on land, in which: there is 06 severely (b) Reconstruc affected households My Thuan bridge - There is no displaced households 2  Affected land: 1250 m is affected, in which: - Permanently acquired household’s land: 750 m2 - Temporarily acquired land: 500 m2 (this is construction protection corridor) (Source: RAP, 2017) In conclusion, total 47 households are affected by construction, in which: (i) 22 households are in Ky Son commune directly affected by land acquisition for reconstruction My Thuan bridge; ii) 25 households are indirectly affected by cultivation on land area managed by PC; (iii) none of households have to relocate and resettle; (iv)12 households fall into vulnerable households (06 poor, 01 elderly alone and 05 women headed household households), of which 06 households are severely affected (loss more than 10% land). This impact is medium and migitable by compensation policies in RAP report of the Ha Tinh subproject. 4.1.3. Safety risks related to Unexploded ordnance (UXO) UXO left from the war still found in many parts of Viet Nam, these can cause casualties, accidents. Mortar shells, aerial bombs, and other unexploded ordnance may exit in the grounding the subproject areas, causing safety risk for the workers and properties of the subproject. Therefore, UXO detection and clearance must be carried out before commencement of any construction work. In this subproject there are two construction sites (Spillway & Outlet on Phuc-Long-Nhuong Dyke and Tan Dua Bridge) will be UXO. 4.2. Impacts in construction phase 4.2.1. Generic impacts 1. Air quality impacts  Dust Dust generation activities during the construction process include (i) excavation, earthwork, leveling, (ii) transportation of construction material and waste disposal. Estimated of excavation and backfilling volume from work items is shown in the Table 15. Table 15: Excavation and backfilling volume of work items Excavation Backfilling No Work item Total (m3) volume (m3) volume (m3) Spillway and Outlet on Phuc-Long- 1 15345 16187 31532 Nhuong Dyke 2 Khe Tria Outlet 22876 6394 29270 3 Tan Dua bridge 11287 10035 21322 4 My Thuan bridge 15911 11349 27260 (Source: FS, 2017) The results of calculating the dust content arising from the excavation and backfilling activities during the construction of the subproject items are as follows: Consultant: IAC Viet Nam Page 31 ESMP of “Vietnam Emergency Flood Disaster Reconstruction Project – Ha Tinh subproject” Table 16: Concentration of dust arising from excavation, backfilling and ground leveling Average Transport QCVN Surface Impact Qdust concentrati ation (1h) 05:2013/ No Name of works area volume (kg/day) on (1h) (mg/m3) BTNMT (m2) (m3) (mg/m3) (mg/m3) Spillway and Outlet on 1 Phuc-Long-Nhuong 0.5 8489 84890 0.2 1.1 Dyke 2 Khe Tria Outlet 0.84 4300 43000 0.8 1.27 0.3 3 Tan Dua bridge 0.21 1800 18000 0.4 0.36 4 My Thuan bridge 0.27 1250 12500 0.8 0.54 (i) The average amount of dust generated by excavation and ground leveling is from 0.2 ÷ 0.8 mg/m3. Within construction site scope, the dust concentration exceeds the permitted limit of QCVN 05: 2013 / BTNMT (0.3mg/m3), except at the construction site: spillway and outlet on Phuc-Long-Nhuong Dyke, concentration higher than 2.6 times. It can effect on air environment and worker. The affected area is concentrated mainly at the construction site; workers are directly affected persons. However, the construction works are at different locations and periods, dust occurs only during construction period. This impact is medium and mitiagable. (ii) Material transportation, gathering and storing, transportation and disposal: emitted dust volume ranges from 0.32 – 1.27 mg/m3, estimated dust concentration is 1.15- 4 times higher than the allowable level in the QCVN 05:2013/BTNMT; specifically, dust concentration is 4 times higher under Khe Tria Outlet. Dust will impact to air environment and local people along the routes. Dust impact will last during construction time of work items, from 8-12 months. However, most of the construction sites are far from the residential areas and the inter-commune roads are in rural or mountainous areas with sparse population density, small scope at open space so the impact level is low and can be mitigated  Air emission Emission from construction Construction of subproject items will use some construction machines and equipment. Most of the devices use Diezel, so the process of operation will emit pollutants such as: dust, CO, SO2, NOx, etc. Emission arising from the operation of machines and equipment on the construction site depends on quantity, quality of construction machines, equipment and construction methods. Emission arising from the operation of machines and equipment on the construction site is shown in the Table 17 Table 17: Emission arising from construction site Concentrations (mg/m3) No Work item SO2 NOx CO 1 Spillway and Outlet on Phuc-Long-Nhuong Dyke 0.01 3.74 2.9 2 Khe Tria Outlet 0.01 2.45 3.3 3 Tan Dua bridge 0.00 2.6 1.6 4 My Thuan bridge 0.01 3.81 0.72 QCVN 05:2013/ BTNMT 0.35 0.2 30 (Source: Environmental Impact Assessment report of Ha Tinh subproject) Consultant: IAC Viet Nam Page 32 ESMP of “Vietnam Emergency Flood Disaster Reconstruction Project – Ha Tinh subproject” Concentration of CO and SO2 is lower than QCVN 05:2013/BTNMT. However, concentrations of NOx in all of 4 sites are higher than QCVN 05:2013/BTNMT 13-19 times. Overall, emission impact on the subproject area is minor and only affects construction workers in a short term (8-12 months at each construction site), and this can be mitigated by suitable methods. Emission from transport material Air emission generated from using diesel of trucks. On average, 50 trips/day/site with the distance from the site to disposal site are 1 – 25km depend on each work. The fuel consumption norm of 8-ton truck is about 0.0018 tons of diesel/10km; therefore, the fuel consumption is approximately: 0.1 tons of diesel/day. The calculated pollutant load from the waste transportation is showed in Table 18.

However, concentration of NOx in 03 sites is higher than 1.5 to 10 times except at Tan Dua Bridge (because of lack of waste). However, most of the construction sites are far from the residential areas and the inter-commune roads are in rural or mountainous areas with sparse population density, small scope at open space so the impact level is low and can be mitigated  Noise Noise is generated mainly from construction machines and equipment (excavator / bulldozer, electric generator, mobile crane...). Noise levels of typical machinery and equipment are presented in the following Table 19 Table 19: Noise level according to the distance of some machines Noise level Noise level with Noise level with Noise level with with 1.5m far 50m far from 100m far from 200m far from No. Machines, equipment from source source (dBA) source (dBA) source (dBA) (dBA) Min Max Min Max Min Max Min Max 1 8-ton tipper truck 72 84 41.5 53.5 35.5 47.5 29.5 41.5 3 Bulldozer 93 62.5 56.5 50.5 5 Excavator 72 84 41.5 53.5 35.5 47.5 29.5 41.5 9 Concrete mixer 75 88 42.5 57.5 38.5 51.5 32.5 45.5 12 Electric generator 72 82 41.5 51.5 35.5 45.5 29.5 39.5 14 Mobile crane 76 87 45.5 56.5 39.5 50.5 33.5 44.5 QCVN 26:2010/BTNMT(6-21h) 70 dBA Note: QCVN 26:2010/BTNMT: National Technical Standard on Noise (6h - 21h) Consultant: IAC Viet Nam Page 33 ESMP of “Vietnam Emergency Flood Disaster Reconstruction Project – Ha Tinh subproject” Impacts of noise in the construction phase are marginal and insignificant. The workers are affected by noise during construction phase. These impacts don’t effect on local people because the construction location far from the nearest households about 50-100m. The noise impact is not great and frequent, only intermittent at certain period during operation of machines and equipments. However, this noise impact can be mitigable by suitable methods. (a) Phuc-Long-Nhuong Dyke (b) Khe Tria Outlet (c) Tan Dua bridge (d) My Thuan bridge Figure 2: Objects around the work items  Vibration The vibration is caused by machines and vehicles including excavator / bulldozer, electric generator, mobile crane. During the excavation of earthwork, transportation, leveling, compaction. Vibration level is about 63-99 dBA at distance of 10m from the sources. It will impact on worker, at the distance of 100m is lower than allowable limit in QCVN 27:2010/BTNMT. Thus, it is not impact to local people. This impact is low and can be mitigable. 2. Water quality impacts - Construction wastewater: generated from concrete curing; machine repair and facility and material washing. The wastewater volume ia approximately 1.5 m3/day/site. This wasterwater contains a large amount of sediment, suspended solids and may cause negative impacts on the receiving waterbody if it is discharged directly into the environment. However, in fact, this wastewater is re-used for curing concrete and watering the haul road and construction site. Therefore, the impacts caused by this wastewater source will be insignificant. Consultant: IAC Viet Nam Page 34 ESMP of “Vietnam Emergency Flood Disaster Reconstruction Project – Ha Tinh subproject” - Domestic wastewater: generated from 20-30 workers for each work item. As calculated by the water supply 80 lit/person/day, the average volume of wastewater discharged is 1.6-2.4 m3/day for each work item. Ingredients of wastewater include suspended sediment, oil, grease, organic content, soluble organic matters (like BOD5, COD), nutrients (Nitrogen, Phosphorous) and bacteria. If there is no system for collecting and treating daily wastewater, there will be a source of pollutant being discharged into the environment. This will be a considerable pollution source, directly affecting living condition of workers and people around the suproject area. This impact is considered minor and moderate depending on each subproject area. - Runoff: Surface runoff from heavy rains can sweep soil, sand, other materials and waste... toward water bodies, causing increased suspended solids in surface water source. large surface runoff usually occur in September and October (rainy season). Pollutants from surface runoff can affect living aquatic organisms in surface water ecosystem at 15/9, Ngan Sau and Tri rivers when turbidity is increased , affecting navigation on these rivers. However, the local ecosystem is simple so the impact will not be significant. The impact is low, short term, in small scale and can be mitigable by suitable methods. The amount of runoff is calculated on basis of formula W = X x S (X: maximum rainfall is 350mm; S: area of construction site). Hence, total amount of runoff at construction sites Table 20: Total amount of runoff List of works Total amount of runoff (m3/day) Spillway and Outlet on Phuc-Long-Nhuong Dyke 2971 Khe Tria Outlet 1505 Tan Dua bridge 630 My Thuan bridge 438 3. Solid waste and hazardous waste generation - Domestic solid waste: There are 20-30 people working at each construction site. As calculated by 0.3 kg/person/day, the total volume of domestic solid waste is 6-9 kg/day for each work item. Domestic solid waste generated from construction of each work item is small volume but is the main pollution source due to the decaying of organic matters causing stinky smell, wastewater and infectious bacteria. However, construction sites of the subproject are at different and scattered areas and mostly far from residential areas the impact is considered to be low and can be mitigated. - Construction solid waste: Construction solid waste is mainly debris from demolition of old works, cleared plants, excavated soil, dredged materials, packaging materials, pieces of irons, steels… at the site. The volume of excavated/dredged materials generated during construction is from 150 m3 to 2300 m3 for each work item. This waste will be transported to the disposal sties. This impact is considered minor. - Hazardous waste: Hazardous waste generated are mainly originated from maintenance, oil replacement and repair of construction machines at the site. The total amount of hazardous waste generated in this phase is calculated about 0.5 kg/day and total of 104 - 156 kg for during construction phase for each work item. This volume is very small but waste oil may cause pollution water and soil environment. However, this type of waste will be collected, managed and processed in accordance with regulation for collection and management of hazardous waste. This impact can be assessed as minor. Consultant: IAC Viet Nam Page 35 ESMP of “Vietnam Emergency Flood Disaster Reconstruction Project – Ha Tinh subproject” 4. Impacts on physical cultural resources Implementation of the subproject at some phases will require soil excavation at different place as Tan Dua bridge (50m far from old bridge). When performing these activities, there will be chances to find remains or antiques. Possibility of discovering valuable antiques is average. When the antiques are discovered, the chance find procedures (ECOPs) shall be applied. This impact is low and can be mitigable. 4.2.2. Site-specific impacts  Impacts on agricultural production activities of local people These impacts might occur during construction of the following work items: (1) Spillway & Outlet on Phuc-Long-Nhuong Dyke; and (2) Khe Tria Outlet. The construction areas are next to the rice field, dust from transportation, excavation and backfilling will affect the health of local people during rice cultivation as well as the development of rice. If not well gather and transport material, when it rain or heavy winds happen, dust and material will spill over the field, affecting the growth of rice. However, the subproject area has many infield routes, the duration of construction takes place within 8-12 months, the impact is local and in a short time, so the impact is insignificant and can be minimized.  Disruption of water supply These impacts might occur during construction of the spillway and outlet on Phuc-Long- Nhuong dyke which is responsible for supplying water for 700ha (Cam Phuc commune and Thien Cam town). Reconstruction is likely to prevent irrigation water supply, special in the growth period of rice (from February to May and July to September), damaging economic aspects of local people. The impact level is medium but it can be minimized by applying technical measures and construction time arrangement.  Impacts on water environment and aquatic communities During the construction of Spillway & Outler on Phuc-Long-Nhuong Dyke and Tan Dua bridge, and My Thuan bridge there will effect to water environment and aquatic communities Ngan Sau river and Tri river. The process can increase turbidity in the river. The runoff around the subproject area will be accompanied with pollutants including construction material, soil, sand, grease and oil flowing into the river, affecting the water quality of Gia Hoi Rivers and Ngan Sau river In addition, during the construction, the flow cross-section can be reduced and thus leads to the increased the flow rate, especially at the time of heavy rain, which can lead to the erosion of the riverbank at the downstream. Another factor bound to cause water source pollution is a small amount of domestic waste and wastewater (1.6-2.4 m3/day) from workers’ camps. This source of pollutants, if discharged directly into river, would cause organic pollution (BOD, COD) and nutrient pollution (N, P) to the receiving waters. Water of the subproject area does not have any species with economic value, mainly small shrimps and crabs. The impacts only happen during construction period which last about 8 - 12 months for each embankment and would stop by operation. The level of the impacts, therefore, is low temporary and could be mitigated by good construction practices.  Risk of subsidence of outlet on Phu-Long-Nhuong Dyke and Khe Tria outlet Consultant: IAC Viet Nam Page 36 ESMP of “Vietnam Emergency Flood Disaster Reconstruction Project – Ha Tinh subproject” During the under construction, if the heavy rain happens causing big flood, damage work items as sunken (spillway, outlet and dyke), eroded (wing wall of spillway and outlet, dyke, channel, bridge), broken (valve of outlet, piers of bridge). These impacts are localized, short term and avoidable via appropriate design and good construction practices.  Risk of falling into rock In dry season, water level is low, river bed has many original rocks. If careless and not equipped labor protection, workers may be injured by falls into rocks from elevation 2,5m. Location can occur at My Thuan bridge. 4.2.3. Impacts on sensitive receptors The construction of the different items of subproject will likely impact some sensitive receptors located in close proximity to the construction sites: (i) Spillway & Outlet on Phuc- Long-Nhuong Dyke; and (ii) Tan Dua bridge. Table 21: Impacts on sensitive receptors No. Sensitive receptors Location/ Description Impacts 1 Duoi Church, Cam Phuc Location: Duoi Church is - Dust, noise and vibration commune, Cam Xuyen district situated in the side of the PR during transportation connecting road 551 through impact on spiritual Cam Duong commune to Phuc activities of about 400 Long Nhuong dike. Christian of Duoi Church and 500 Christian of Huong Trach church. - Traffic accidents can occur in the collision with construction material 2 Huong Trach Church of Tan The Church is located in the transportation vehicles Hoi Parish, Huong Trach side of NH.15, opposite to the commune, Huong Khe district construction site of Tan Dua - Concentrating workers bridge. The distance from the can also cause conflicts gate of the church to the between workers and construction site is 110m Catholics, resulting in serious consequences, but this impact can be minimized. These impacts on two construction sites are insignificant and can be minimized by arranging reasonable transportation and construction schedule. 4.2.4. Social impacts  Workers gathering During the construction period at the subproject area, with the concentration of workers will cause some disturbance in the area, including: - Increase demand for commodity consumption in the region such as food and utensils. Consultant: IAC Viet Nam Page 37 ESMP of “Vietnam Emergency Flood Disaster Reconstruction Project – Ha Tinh subproject” - Arise relationships between workers at the construction site and local people. The possibility of conflicts between workers and local people will be higher if workers from other regions do not understand the customs of local people. There is also the potential for arising conflicts between workers at nearby construction sites. - During the construction period, the concentration of large numbers of workers will increase the risk of social evils (gambling, theft, drug abuse, prostitution and so on.). The situation of security and order will become more complex and difficult to manage, making it difficult for the local police force. In addition, the concentration of workers in the construction site is the reason for emergence and spread of disease outbreaks through water (cholera, typhoid, diarrhea) or intermediate factors (malaria, hemorrhaging, etc.) as well as social diseases (gonorrhea, syphilis, HIV, etc.), affecting the health of the local community. This impact is likely to occur without management and control measures. This impact is small and can be minimized.  Safety and health of workers and local people The increased capacity of vehicles involved in the transportation of construction materials and heavy machines will affect the safety of drivers and traffic participants on transportation routes. Discharge of sand and noise from vehicles can cause adverse effect on human health either indirectly or directly through the respiratory tract. In addition, in the stage of leveling and construction: incidents of fire and explosion of temporary power system, fuel storage, etc. The construction process of excavation and backfilling roadbase can cause landslide, subsidence of adjacent works, affecting the groundwater / underground water level. Besides, the subproject Owner as well as the construction Contractor will work closely with the local authorities in the subproject area and relevant agencies to promptly resolve problems arising in accordance with the State’s regulations and in accordance with the aspirations of local people. This impact is small and can be minimized. 4.3. Impacts in operation phase  Road Safety during the operation of Va Ranh, Dam and Dong Yen 3 bridges and Ha Rieng road Road safety is likely to be the key impacts during operation of Tan Dua and My Thuan bridge during the first few years when transportation of rural population (bicycles, carts, etc.) are mixed with motor vehicle operations (cars, motorcycles, trucks, etc.) and levels of traffic accident could increase. Experience in the country suggested that this can be managed by improving knowledge of local people on road use regulations and practices as well as monitoring and enforcement of driver speed and behavior. In the longer term when traffic volume is high, generation of dust, exhausted gases, noise, and vibration could be an additional issue but this could be mitigated through long term planning.  Induced development There are various social impacts that may occur due to land use changes and/or induced development (increase solid waste, illegal use of right of ways, etc.); however, this is likely to be a long-term issue. During the first few years, these impacts will be minor however improving people knowledge on socio-economic development opportunity and risks related to social issues could help reducing potential negative impacts to local population. Consultant: IAC Viet Nam Page 38 ESMP of “Vietnam Emergency Flood Disaster Reconstruction Project – Ha Tinh subproject” 4.4. Impacts from incidents and risks 4.4.1. Construction phase  Labor accidents In general, labor accidents may happen at any stage during construction phase, the causes include: - Workers working on the river (constructing embankment, constructing river-cross bridge) are at risk of being drowned due to their carelessness or tiredness or not following regulations on occupational safety when performing their construction activities at these areas. - Outdoor workers exposed to hot weather (in summer, temperature can reach 390C - 400C). - Environmental pollution may cause fatigue, dizziness or fainting for workers during their work. - Operations of machines and equipment used for loading/unloading materials and equipment, dredging, excavation,, construction and transport of materials - Land slide at deep excavation sites - Injuries due to insect bites, broken grass when working in the bush during site clearance, - Extreme weather events such as heavy rain, storms, flush flood, or extreme hot weather - Dismantling of the existing bridges: accidents may happen if people travel on the bridge being dismantled Generally, the risk of labor accident on construction sites is minor and can be mitigated by suitable solution such as training on occupational safety before and during the construction process and provision of sufficient protective equipment for workers.  Traffic accidents The fundamental causes of most traffic accidents on construction site are the failure in implementation of safety working system and workers training method. However, the most common direct cause is a combination of one of the following factors: - Limited driving capacity; - Carelessness or negligence of special dangerous sources, such as working near power lines or excavated/backfilled sites; - Inadequate maintenance of means of transport; - Overload or weak load; - Congestion at construction site; - Poor traffic site; - Lack of appropriate roads (bypass roads) or rugged road surface. This impact may happen to local people and worker. Especially when construc Tan Dua bridge because one side of it connect to Nation highway NH15 which has many means of transportation.This impact is medium and mitigable.  Fire, explosion and leakage of fuel Fire and explosion may occur in the case of transport and storage of fuel, or lack of safety of the temporary power supply system, causing the loss of life and damage to property during the construction process. The specific causes are identified as follows: - The temporary fuel and material warehouse (gas, DO oil, FO oil, welding gas, etc.) are the Consultant: IAC Viet Nam Page 39 ESMP of “Vietnam Emergency Flood Disaster Reconstruction Project – Ha Tinh subproject” source of fire and explosion. The occurrence of such incidents can cause serious damage to people, society, economy and the environment. - Fire risk may happen when operating construction machineries, welding and vehicles using gasoline and diesel without compliance with fire regulations. - The subproject owner will implement the fire prevention and strictly comply with measures to prevent leakage, fire or explosion. The fire prevention shall be done regularly to minimize the possibility of incidents and the levels of impact. In general, for the subproject, the fire and explosion risk is low because construction sites mainly on river, at open space and far from residential areas (100 - 300m). If there is any fire and explosion incidence, it will only affect workers but this impact is at low level, in small scale and can be mitigable by suitable methods. 4.4.2. Operational phase  Natural disasters, storm, flooding Incidents caused by natural disaster, storms and floods during the phase of using roads, embankments, bridges, dams, have possibility of landslides, earthquakes and so on. That causes damage to works and property of the people. Design has calculated climate weather’s the abnormalities in the past, thus the impact of this situation is low.  Erosion, subsidence of work, blocking of the water flow In the process of putting the works into operation, there is the possibility of embankment landslide, the edge of the road due to floods, earthquakes, sea waves, smashing, poor construction works, unensured design. This can cause damage of works if works are not solid and design is not guaranteed. This causes damage to works and property of local people. thus the impact of this situation is medium 5. MITIGATION MEASURES 5.1. Mitigation measures during preparation phase 5.1.1. Common mitigation measures Applying the ECOPs (see 5.2.1) 5.1.2. Site specific mitigation measures (land acquisition) During the subproject preparation, the Resettlement Consultant, Technical Consultant and PPMU have worked together, considering technical requirements and construction method, to reduce resettlement on the principle of (i) mitigating impacts from land acquisition for households in the subproject area; and (ii) prioritizing the construction option which requires the smallest land acquisition area. Total cost for compensation, support and resettlement of the 8 work items is 651,185,600 VND, equivalent to 28,687 USD. The estimated cost for land clearance and resettlement is calculated based on provisions set by People Committee of Ha Tinh province and the policies determined by the World Bank. The Detailed mitigation measures for land acquisition are provided in the RP of the subproject. 5.1.3. Mitigation of UXO Risks The subproject owner (PPMU) will sign a contract with the military civil engineering agency or Ha Tinh Provincial Military Base for UXO detection and clearance at the construction sites. UXO clearance will be executed right after the completion of site compensation and before the implementation of demolition and ground leveling. The estimated cost for UXO constructions Spillway & Outlet on Phuc-Long-Nhuong Dyke and Tan Dua bridge are Consultant: IAC Viet Nam Page 40 ESMP of “Vietnam Emergency Flood Disaster Reconstruction Project – Ha Tinh subproject” approximately 200,000,000 VND and 28,896,000 VND, respectively (8,811 USD and 1,273 USD). No construction activity will be allowed until the UXO clearance is completed. 5.2. Mitigation measures during construction phase 5.2.1. Common mitigation measures As part of the Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) for the subproject these general measures have been translated into a standard environmental specification to be incorporated into bidding and contract documents. These are referred to as Environmental Codes of Practice (ECOPs), and will be applied to mitigate typical impacts of the subproject’s civil works during the pre-construction and construction phase. The ECOPs describe typical requirements to be undertaken by contractors and supervised by the construction supervision consultant during construction. The ECOPs will be incorporated into the bidding and contract documents (BD/CD) annexes. The measures identify typical mitigation measures for the following aspects: - Impacts of dust; - Air pollution; - Noise and vibration; - Water pollution; - Solid waste; - Hazardous waste; - Traffic management; - Restoration of affected areas; - Worker and public Safety; - Communication with local communities about subproject environmental issues; - Health and Safety for workers and the public; - Chance finding procedures Consultant: IAC Viet Nam Page 41 ESMP of “Vietnam Emergency Flood Disaster Reconstruction Project – Ha Tinh subproject” Table 22: Common mitigation measures Environmental and Applicable National Responsibility Mitigation measures social issues Regulations, Standards Implementation Supervision 1.

ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM 8.1. Objectives of the environmental monitoring program Implementation plan of monitoring program is divided into 2 phases: preparation phase and construction phase. Monitoring program in the preparation phase was shown in the section 3, this section will setup an environmental monitoring program for construction phase. Do not conduct environmental monitoring during subproject operation phase due to mostly positive impacts on this phase. Mitigation measures determined during subproject preparation must be completed by the designer before construction. The proper design results must be included into the contractor's bids. Consultant: IAC Viet Nam Page 60 ESMP of “Vietnam Emergency Flood Disaster Reconstruction Project – Ha Tinh subproject” During construction phase, some mitigation measures must be carried out before construction such as training for contractor and Construction Supervision Consultant. The detailed implementation plan for mitigation measures must be given out to be applied at site on commencement date. Such requirement is also available in the Bidding Documents and such plan shall be inspected by PPMU. 8.2. Review of contractor's documents ESMP’s Implementation Plan must be prepared by the contractor and inspected by PPMU before the Bids are submitted. All documents submitted by the contractor are appraised in accordance with the subproject requirements and CSE. Any changes in documents must be accepted by the environmental officer and CSE. Such documents must be continuously updated. 8.3. Environmental monitoring criteria 8.3.1.

CAPACITY BUILDING PROGRAM 9.1. Technical Assistance support for the implementation of safeguards An assessment of safeguards implementation capacity of existing PPMU staffs indicate that PPMU staffs have limited knowledge on WB safeguard requirements as well as limited knowledge of environment and social issues. Such lack of capacity represents a risk to subproject implementation of safeguards requirements contained in the ESMP and, as required by the WB policy, is to be addressed through capacity building. Therefore, it is proposed to provide capacity building through technical assistance that will support the PPMU during the implementation of the safeguards requirements. The technical assistance will provide the necessary technical support the PPMU in its work with contractors as well as other entities involved in the implementation of the ESMP. The scope of the technical assistance would cover support from experts and training that would cover both the knowledge on safeguards requirements and procedures for the subproject as well as training that covers both specific knowledge on safeguard procedures and requirement for the subproject staffs, consultants, and national contractor would be important. This would include, for example, assistance in the preparation of documents and implementation of training program on environmental management and environmental monitoring for contractors, CSC and relevant staffs of PPMU (environmental staffs and coordinators of packages) to do their tasks. It would also include assisting the PPMU’s environmental staffs with the review of contract documents on the bidding packages for construction items of the subproject to ensure compliance with environmental protection policies and impact mitigation and monitoring requirements as well as provide general environmental guidance as requested by the PPMU to enhance overall subproject implementation and performance. Given the nature, locations, and scale of construction, it is anticipated that the safeguard technical assistance support and training will be provided at least 2 times (one on pre- construction phase and another on construction phase). The WB safeguard specialists will participate in the capacity building in particular in the training activities as appropriate. 9.2. Training programs proposed Table 29 below provides examples of the basic trainings for safeguards during subproject implementation. The training programs will be developed and delivered by the Technical Assistance team for the implementation of safeguards for the PPMU training. The PPMU with the support of the Technical Assistance team for the implementation of safeguards will provide the training to contractors, CSC and other groups. Other more specific and tailored training will be developed and agreed upon between PPMU and the Technical Assistance team for the implementation of safeguards during subproject Consultant: IAC Viet Nam Page 62 ESMP of “Vietnam Emergency Flood Disaster Reconstruction Project – Ha Tinh subproject” implementation based upon an reassessment of needs and the status of safeguards implementation. - Target groups for the training: include PPMU staffs, ESU staffs, field engineers, CSC, construction contractors, local authorities, and community representatives in the subproject area. Training of workers and drivers is the responsibility of the contractor. - Training schedule: At least 1 month before the construction of the first contract. The training can be adjusted in line with the implementation schedule of the sub subproject/contracts. - Training frequency: The basic training programs proposed in Table 29 will take place every six months on a yearly basis and its content updated and adapted to implementation issues. Training frequency and content will be reassessed during implementation depending on needs. It is foreseen that the training program for PPMU staffs will continue until year three of implementation.

ESMP COST ESTIMATION 10.1. Cost for mitigation measures by contractor Expenditure for implementing ESMP includes the main financial resources, covering the environmental monitoring expenses and expenses for implementing the mitigation measures. The expenses of implementing the mitigation measures have been included into the expenditure for implementing construction subprojects on environmental protection works and measures. 10.2. Costs for environmental monitoring program According to the unit price of environmental monitoring in the locality, the estimated cost for environmental quality monitoring of Ha Tinh subproject is stated in the table below: Table 30: Cost for samples and analysis during construction phase Sub-Total Name of analysis Price (VND) No Unit Quantity (1 USD = 22,700 VNĐ) index VND VND USD 1 Air quality sample 8 1,200,000 9,600,000 423 2 Surface water quality sample 8 2,500,000 20,000,000 881 3 Preparing report Report 2 8,000,000 16,000,000 705 Total 126,000,000 2,009 10.3.

Cost for monitoring the ESMP implementation The following table provides a cost estimate for the implementation of environmental management plan (ESMP). The cost of ESMP implementation will include (i) the costs of implementing mitigation measures by the contractor, (ii) expenses supervised by CSC, (iii) the costs of environmental quality monitoring, (iv) the cost of safety management for the PPMU and (v) costs of environmental capacity building, including both technical assistance in implementing safety policies and training programs. The costs of implementing mitigation measures during construction will be a part of the value of construction contracts, while the costs for a site-specific environmental monitoring plan (SEMP) by the construction supervision consultant (CSC) will be provided in construction supervision contracts. The costs of the PPMU operations relating to ESMP are allocated from the subproject management budget of the PPMU, including safety training programs, and basic allowances to participants in the monitoring programs. After the subproject has been completed, the costs of environmental monitoring of constructed works will be taken from the operation and maintenance budget of the city (as if). It should be noted that the involvement of the community in the process of ESMP implementation is completely voluntary participation for the benefit of own community and households. Therefore, communities partaking in monitoring the ESMP will not get paid. However, in order to encourage communityparticipation, it is necessary to allocate costs of materials and instruments for monitoring activities and some remuneration for a small number of members chosen by the public to participate in monitoring activities. As stipulated in the Prime Minister’s Decision No. 80/2005/QD-TTg dated 18 April 2005 promulgating the regulations on investment supervision by the community and Joint Circular guiding the implementation of Decision 80/2005/QD-TTg, "expenses for the community’ s investment monitoring in the commune/ward in are reflected in the cost estimates of the Communal Fatherland Front Committee’s budget and allocated from the communal/municipal budget; support funds for the dissemination, organization of training courses, guidance, preliminary and final report on investment monitoring by the community at provincial and district levels are balanced in the cost estimates of the Fatherland Front Committee at provincial/district level and allocated from the provincial budget”. The following table provides the estimated costs for environmental quality monitoring and capacity building for reference purposes. However, final costs will be updated in the detailed design phase.

GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM (GRM) Complaints relating to any subproject's problems will be solved through negotiations to achieve the consensus. A complaint will go through three Stages before it can be transferred to the court. The enforcement unit will pay all administrative and legal fees relating to the acceptance of complaints. This cost is included in the subproject budget. Complaint procedures and resolution will be performed as follows: The first level People’s Committee of ward/commune. An affected household is to take his/her complaint to any member of the People's Committee of the ward/commune, through the ward head or directly to People’s Committee of ward, in written or oral form. The said member(s) of the People’s Committee will inform the People’s Committee of the ward on the complaint. The People's Committee of Ward will work directly in person with the said affected household and will decide on the settlement of the complaint 5 days after receiving such complaint. The Secretariat of the People’s Committee of the relevant ward is responsible for documenting and recording all the complaints that it is handling. After the Ward People's Committee issues its decision, the relevant household can make an appeal within 30 days. In case a second decision has been issued but the said household is still not satisfied with such decision, such household can appeal to the municipal (city) People’s Committee (CPC). The second level the CPC. Upon receiving a complaint from a household, the CPC will have 15 days after receiving the complaint to resolve the case. The CPC is responsible for filing and storing documents on all complaints that it handles. When the CPC has issued a decision, the household can make an appeal within 30 days. In case a second decision has been issued and the household is still not satisfied with such a decision, they can appeal to the Hanoi People’s Committee. The third level The Ha Tinh People’s Committee (PPC). Upon receiving a complaint from the household, the PPC will have 30 days after receiving the complaint to resolve the case. The PPC is responsible for filing and storing documents for all complaints to be submitted. After the HPC has issued a decision, the household can appeal within 45 days. In case a second decision has been issued and the household is still not satisfied with such decision, they can appeal to the court within 45 days. The HPC will then have to pay the compensation into an account. Consultant: IAC Viet Nam Page 66 ESMP of “Vietnam Emergency Flood Disaster Reconstruction Project – Ha Tinh subproject” The Forth Level Provincial Court. In case a complainant brings his/her case to a provincial court and the court rules in favor of the complainant, the provincial authorities will have to increase the compensation up to such a rate as may be ruled by the court. In case the court’s ruling is in favor of the HPC, the complainant will be refunded the amount of money that has been paid to the court. The decision ruling the settlement of complaints will have to be sent to complainants and concerned parties, and shall be publicly posted at the headquarters of the People's Committee of the relevant level. The complainant will receive such ruling three days after the result of complaint resolution at the ward/commune/town level has been decided upon and 7 days at the district or provincial level. Personnel: The environmental staffs chosen by the PPMU will design and maintain a database of the subproject-related complaints from affected households, including information such as: the nature of the complaint, the source and date of receipt of the complaint, the name and address of the complainant, action plan, and current status. For oral complaints, the receiving/mediator board will record these requests in a complaint form at the first meeting with the affected person. Contractor and Construction Supervision Consultant: During construction, the GRM will also be managed by the contractors under supervision of the CSC. The contractors will inform the affected communities and communes about the GRM availability to handle complaints and concerns about the subproject. This will be done via the community consultation and information disclosure process under which the contractors will communicate with the affected communities and interested authorities on a regular basis. Meetings will be held at least quarterly, monthly information brochures will be published, announcements will be placed in local media, and notices of upcoming planned activities will be posted, etc. All complaints and corresponding actions undertaken by the contractors will be recorded in subproject safeguard monitoring reports. Complaints and claims for damages could be lodged as follows: - Verbally: direct to the CSC and/or the contractors’ safeguard staffs or representatives at the site offices. - In writing: by hand-delivering or posting a written complaint to specified addresses. - By telephone, fax, e-mails: to the CSC, the contractors’ safeguard staffs or representatives. Upon receipt of a complaint, the CSC, the contractors’ safeguard staffs or representatives will register the complaint in a complaint file and maintain a log of events pertaining to it thereafter, until it is resolved. Immediately after receipt, four copies of the complaint will be prepared. The original will be kept in the file, one copy will be used by the contractor’s safeguard staffs, one copy will be forwarded to the CSC, and the fourth copy to the PPMU within 24 hours since receipt of the complaint. Information to be recorded in the complaint log will consist of: - The date and time of the complaint. - The name, address and contact details of the complainant. - A short description of the complaint. - Actions taken to address the complaint, including contact persons and findings at each step in the complaint redress process. - The dates and times when the complainant is contacted during the redress process. - The final resolution of the complaint. - The date, time and manner in which the complainant was informed thereof. Consultant: IAC Viet Nam Page 67 ESMP of “Vietnam Emergency Flood Disaster Reconstruction Project – Ha Tinh subproject” - The complainant’s signature when resolution has been obtained. Minor complaints will be dealt with within one week. Within two weeks (and weekly thereafter), a written reply will be delivered to the complainant (by hand, post, fax, e-mails) indicating the procedures taken and progress to date. The main objective will be to resolve an issue as quickly as possible by the simplest means, involving as few people as possible, and at the lowest possible level. Only when an issue cannot be resolved at the simplest level and/or within 15 days, will other authorities be involved. Such a situation may arise, for example, when damages are claimed, the to-be-paid amount cannot be resolved, or damage causes are determined. World Bank Grievance Redress Mechanism: Communities and individuals who believe that they are adversely affected by a World Bank (WB) supported subproject may submit complaints to existing subproject-level grievance redress mechanism or the WB’s Grievance Redress Service (GRS). The GRS ensures that complaints received are promptly reviewed in order to address subproject-related concerns. Subproject affected communities and individuals may submit their complaints to the WB’s independent Inspection Panel which determines whether harms occurred, or could occur, as a result of WB non-compliance with its policies and procedures. Complaints may be submitted at any time after concerns have been brought directly to the WB’s attention, and Bank Management has been given an opportunity to respond. For information on how to submit complaints to the World Bank’s corporate Grievance Redress Service (GRS), please visit www.worldbank.org/grs. For information on how to submit complaints to the World Bank Inspection Panel, please visitwww.inspectionpanel.org. 12. PUBLIC CONSULTATION AND INFORMATION DISLCOSURE 12.1.
