VOL. 43 ELECTRICITY OF VIET NAM POWER COMPANY No. 2 RURAL DISTRIBUTIONPROJECT SUBPROJECT : RURAL MV NETWORK OF LONG AN PROVINCE Project Code: 07-LA-119B VOLUME 3 : ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN I I FINAL Ho Chi Minh city, February 2009 @ POWER COMPANY No. 2 POWER ENGINEERING CONSULTING CENTER @ POWER COMPANY No. 2 POWER ENGINEERING CONSULTING CENTER RURAL DISTRIBUTIONPROJECT SUBPROJECT : RURAL MV NETWORK OF LONG AN PROVINCE Project Code: 07-LA-119B VOLUME 3 : ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN Submitted by Prepared by South VietNam Power PC 2 Management Board & Consulting Center Technical review EMP's Long An MV RD project Summary of EMP's MV Long An sub-project The proposed sub-project will upgrade the MV power system in 18 communes of 6 districts (including Ben Luc, Can Duoc, Can Giuoc, Moc Hoa, Chau Thanh and Tan Tru districts) in Long An province. 39.43 km of MV power line shall be rehabilitated with change in structure and 38.8 km shall be upgraded without change in structure. The ROW is 6 m depending on the voltage level of the lines. Topography of Long An province is very plain but the canal system in the province is very dense. There are two big rivers Vam Co Dong and Vam Co Tay. There is no forest or protected areas located in project sites. Total number of trees to be cut is 2,105 trees. Main of cut trees is h i t trees (orange, lemon, mango etc...), industrial trees (eucalyptus)which have high economic value rather than environmental or ecological value; Project would not cause significant impact on the natural biological environment. No transformer or equipment will be removed from the power network. There will be no risk of disposal of old PCBs containing electrical equipment. The power line is mainly going along transportationroads. No house is needed to be removed. No resettlement is required. Most of the negative environmental impacts are insignificant, short-term and temporary such as limited tree clearance along ROW, increase localized noise, vibration and dust levels, issues related to wastes generated from construction sites and worker's camp, affects on local traffic and road, safety concerns etc. These impacts are expected to be manageable by the mitigation measures proposed in the EMP such as only cut trees currently or potentially higher than 4 meters, do not burn vegetations along ROW, contractor reinstate the sites prior to withdrawal, cover or isolate sources generating dust and noise, promote coordination between contractor and local authorities during construction sites to prevent social conflicts and enhance safety etc. The report also identify specific list of sensitive areas including market, community center, residential areas which have high density of population located close to project line and need to be concern during constructionphase. The Bank's requirements on public consultation have been met. The EMP presented a table summarizing information about consultation meetings and samples of meeting minutes. It has also attached and environmentalcertificatedissued by the People's Committeeof Chau Thanh District. A map overlaying project sites with protected areas in Long An is also included in the EMP and it shows that no sub-project sites area located within protected areas (as defined in map sourcedby Birdline). The EMP have also proposed (i) chance finding procedures and emergency action plan; (ii) environmental monitoring plan with the costs estimated for construction phase is VND 30,000,000; (iii) institutional arrangements for the implementation of the EMF as well as reporting procedures. An amount of VND 45,000,000 has been budget for training activities needed for improvementof the EMP implementation. Therefore I find that the EMP prepared for Long An province is technically acceptable and recommend for clearance provided that (i) EVN send a letter confirming that the draft EMP has been disclosed at local project sites; (ii) English and Vietnamese versions of the EMP have been disclosed at VIDIC Info-shop in Hanoi and Info-shop in Washington.

ENVIRONMENTALASSESSMENT The Project will play an important role in promotion of socio-economic development in Long An province. The Project will also contribute to (i) meet the power demand; (ii) increase capacity to supply electricity for customers in rural areas; (iii) increase power quality, safety and business effectiveness. It will also promote the policy of industrialization and modernization of the Government of Vietnam as well as create a great opportunity for overall socio-economic development of the poor area. These positive socio-economic values of the project are great. Refer to the Project Document for more details. Beside the significant beneficial impacts, the project may cause different minorlmedium negative impacts on the environment and local socio-economy. EMPfor RD Project in Long An province 6 By using Environmental Screening Data Checltlist and Environmental baseline Checklist as guided in Framework for Applying Environment Safeguards to RD Project, the potential impacts of the Project are described in Table 4.1.

Few places need to have new poles (replacement of the old poles). Excavated amount of soil in these places is quite limited (from 2 to 4 m31place). - Places mentioned in section of "Noise and vibration impact" are places with high risk of air pollution because Project activities will be carried ---I out near dense population areas.
