Background: The “Repair and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir” is one of the sub-projects being proposed for funding under the World Bank-assisted Dam Rehabilitation and Safety Improvement Project (DRSIP). An Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) was conducted in compliance with the World Bank requirements and the Vietnam's Law of Environmental Protection (LEP). This report provides a summary of the result of the ESIA. 2. The reservoir is located in My Duc commune, Da Teh district, Lam Dong province. It is about 180km and 150km far from Da Lat city and Ho Chi Minh City, respectively. The reservoir has a basin area of 198 km2 and a capacity of 29.35 million cubic meters. Its head works complex and auxiliary works include following items: - Earth dam - Flood spillway - Water intake - Operation house and communication system for management purpose - Power lines and electricity distribution system; and - Management road. 3. The facility needs immediate rehabilitation due to lack of regular maintenance work since construction 1995. There are multiple occurrence of landslides on the embankments and water leakages and penetration have occurred at the embankment foundation. During operation, the physical structure has been damaged, degraded and disqualified with the irrigation design capacity, raising highly potential risks for the headworks and threatening the safety of downstream area.Although some damaged sections have been reinforced, the water regulation function, reservoir capacity are no longer met and safety can no longer be guaranteed. 4. Subproject description. The proposed rehabilitation and improvement of the dam and reservoir aims to: (i) assure reservoir safety during operation principally by repairing and retrofitting for extreme weather events; and (ii) meet increasing demand for water in the lowland area by restoring the initial design capacity and stable supply of irrigation water to 2,300 hectares of rice paddy field and other crops whole year round. The proposed works would involve the following: - Earth Dam: Repair on the dams include rehabilitation and expansion of the downstream section to restore embankment at the desired compaction coefficient; reinforcement of the top of the dam by a 20-cm thick M200 concrete; repair of the upstream and downstream roofs; and fixing of the water seepages and penetration in the dam body and foundation. - Flood Spillway: Works include expansion and upgrade of the overflow weir, rehabilitation of the chute and flanks with reinforced concrete and rebuilding of the weir bridge, among others. - Water Intake: Various repair works including clearing and re-lining of the culvert, reinforcement of the external valve tower, repair of the tower building and service bridge, replacement of the steel gate, etc. - Operation House and Communication System: Construction of head works operation house with 4th grade house standard and gross area of 150m2 and installation of automatic reservoir water level observation system to facilitate the works management and operation. - Power Line: Installation of 1.8 km long LV wire lines from weir shoulder to flood spillway for management and operation purpose. - Management Road: Reinforcement of the section behind the water intake to flood spillway with specifications of 1.7km length, M200 concrete, 20cm thickness and 3m width. 5. These repair and upgrading works were identified based on the Dam Safety Assessment conducted as part of the preparation of the DRSIP project. The subproject was designed and will be implemented in accordance with the requirements of the World Bank Safety of Dam Policy (OP/BP 4.37) and the national dam safety standards of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 3 6. Environmental and Social Screening. The subproject underwent mandatory environmental and social screening to determine any ineligible activities from the safeguards policies point of view and determine the scope of the assessment. The results of the screening indicate that the subproject will not result in increase of the designed water storage capacity of the dam. The local residents in the area are mainly Kinh (92.7%) which is the mainstream group in Vietnam. No ethnic minority households are affected. There are no graves, temples or any structure or sites with cultural, religious or historical significance in the subproject area. The proposed civil works falls under the World Bank Environment Category B while the dam is considered “small” based on the World Bank classification. There are no critical natural habitats or protected areas of natural habitats in the area and there are no species in the rare and endangered lists in the area. 7. Social and Environmental Impacts: The subproject will provide benefits to the local communities in the form of stable and reliable water supply and improved safety. However, there are also negative impacts and issues that need to be addressed. There following the impacts and issues considered significant and would need to be mitigated: 8. Loss of land - A 1.0 hectare of public land at the dam shoulder currently under the Commune's management will be used as burrow pit for embankment materials. No household will be affected in the land acquisition. 9. Impacts of construction activities - The total excavated soil volume is about 80,000m3,which will be sourced within 200 m distance from 7site. The backfilling soil volume required for the entire works is about 93,000 m3. Hence all excavated soils will be reused. The spoil consisting of top soil and herbage is estimated at 5,000 m3 shall disposed at the bottom of the downstream slope of the dam. Other materials such as stone and gravel will sourced at various quarry sites 10-70km away. The number of workers estimated at peak hours would be 150 persons while the total number of equipment to be mobilized is around 40. - Temporary increase in sedimentation of the waterways during rainy days due to earthmoving activities. - Increase in dusts nuisance within the construction sites; - Increase in noise levels within the construction site; - Increase health and safety risks among local residents near the dam and along construction routes due to exposure to construction-related hazards; - Domestic and hazardous waste - The amount of domestic wastes (i.e. wastewater and solid waste based on a peak of 150 workers) will be significant. These would require adoption of a comprehensive housekeeping and waste management system by the contractor. Standard waste containment and treatment measures (i.e. septic tank, soak pit), regular collection and disposal (i.e. solid wastes to the landfill). Hazardous materials will also require imposition of standards industry practice of storage and containment in case of spillage. 10. Mitigation Measures. To address these impacts, an Environmental Management Plan (ESMP) has been prepared as part of this ESIA report. The specific measures in the ESMP are as follows: - Careful and optimal scheduling of construction activities to coincide with fallow periods, inclose consultation with the affected farmers to minimize cropping disruptions. - Imposition of good housekeeping practices at the construction site in terms of storage of materials, disposal of construction spoils to the designated landfill, regular sprinkling of roads in residential areas during dry days. All these to be incorporated in Contractor's own Environmental and Occupational Health and Safety Plan (CEOHSP) together with standard construction EHS practices such as wearing of PPEs, provision of adequate water and sanitation facilities at campsite, waste management including domestic wastewater and hazardous waste, medical screening of workers, installation of fences and warning signs at dangerous areas and good community relations. Compliance with the relevant environmental protection criteria should also be included the plan. - Requiring the contractor to undertake site clearing, cleaning and restoration after completion of works, including the leveling of stockpiled surface soils in the burrow pit area and returning the Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 4 ground for people to continue farming. - Introduction and promotion by MARD of the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) technologies and approaches among the farming communities within the irrigation service areas. - Constant communication and consultation with the stakeholders during construction to apprise them of the status and progress and also to hear complaints and problems; - Adoption and setting up of Grievance Redress Mechanism; and, - Adoption of Chance Find Procedure and Unexploded Ordnance Procedure. 11. Consultation: Consultants and sub-project investors organized 2 community consultations, the first one. dated February 03, 2015 at the Cultural House of My Duc commune with 30 participants (Including 22 women) People’s Committee of Da Teh district, People’s Committee and Fatherland Front of communes fully support the implementation of the Project, the affected people in the project area were informed the project profile information and consultation on consensus subproject implementation, determine the scope and influence of the project. The second one dated February 04,2015 at the Cultural House of Quang Tri commune with 30 participants (Including 6 women ) People’s Committee of Da Teh district, People’s Committee and Fatherland Front of communes fully sup port the implementation of the Project, Consultation is to inform about the negative impact of the sub-project on the environment, society and the mitigation measures. Results: 100% of Participant agreed to implement the project and the mitigation measures by investors. In addition, the affected households recommend to: i) Provide enough water for 2,300 hectares of agricultural land in the process of building the reservoir Da Teh; ii) repair damaged roads if necessary; iii) Assessment of danger for downstream areas in case of emergency flood discharge; iv) Transport, handle the entire construction waste, household waste and construction and aesthetic avoid obstructing traffic. v) Ensure safety during the construction phase; vi) Ensure safety for the workers at construction sites, public health. Investors were receptive and committed to implement all the recommendations in consultation. 12. Resettlement Action Plan: On the basis of the proposed scope of work, no land acquisition (either permanent or temporary) are required. This, no RAP is prepared for this subproject. 13. The Ethnic Minority Development Plan (EMDP): In the project area, there are two main ethnic groups live, they are Kinh Chau Ma, and other ethnic groups such as Tay, Nung. Kinh accounted for most of the project area, with 1,472 households, accounting for 91.2%. Chau Ma live in villages 8, My Duc commune with a total of 134 households, 521 people accounted for 8.3% percentage. Other ethnic groups such as Tay, Nung come from other locations with a total of about 8 households, accounting for 0.05%. Restoring livelihoods for communities; Communication programs; Support clean water to households). With a total cost of 572 million VND proposed (26,600$). The EMDP will be further updated on the basis of the detailed design of the subproject. 14. Risk of dam broken failure: When dam break incidents occur, there would be some consequences: Demolition of buildings, infrastructure, directly affect the lives and property of approximately 1,600 households in town and 2 communes named Da Teh and My Duc, Quang Tri Province, about 10,000 people in a foot dam of downstream 500m - 600m; Cause floods, destroying ecosystems after dams; Cause the lost or lack of water resources for agriculture of around 2,300 ha; damage 10km of roads, 20km of canals; 4 schools; 2 health centers; 2 head office commune People's Committees; Cause affected people to lack water for daily life with a capacity of 10,000 m3 / day of water supply for the town of Da Teh, My Duc, Quang Tri commune. 15. Budget Allocation: Investment capital of sub-project: VND 82,695,623,000(Eight billion six hundred and ninety five million six hundred and twenty three thousand Vietnam dongs) or US$ 3,792,421(Three million seven hundred ninety two thousand four hundred twenty one US dollars). The cost for the implementation of the ESMP would be VND 1,759,453,000 ((USD 80,565) during the construction phase and VND 500,000,000 (USD 22,900)during operation phase.

The project will consist of the following components: - Component 1: Dam safety rehabilitation (US$ 412 million) - Component 2: Dam safety management and planning (US$ 20 million) - Component 3: Project management support (US$11 million) DRSIP will be implemented in 34 provinces in the North, Central and Highland regions of Vietnam. Around 450 dams will be selected for consideration under the project based on agreed selection criteria aimed at prioritizing those interventions that address the safety risks within an explicit poverty and inequality framework. The project will follow a framework approach for environmental and social assessment of the project. However, environmental and social impact assessments (ESIAs) of 12 subprojects selected for first year implementation have been carried out before the Environemntal and Social Management Framework (ESMF) prepared. These ESIA have been prepared based on agreed ToR with the World Bank. This followed the legislative requirement of the government, policy requirement of the World Bank and in line with the Vietnam In-country Technical Guidance Note: Environmental and Social Management Framework Toolkit for World Bank-Financed Projects in Vietnam. The proposed project will be implemented over a period of six years – from December 15, 2015 to December 30, 2021. The project is required to comply with applicable Vietnamese legislations and the Bank safeguard Policies. The draft Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) of the first year subprojects and Environmental Management and Social Framework (ESMF) and will be ready for disclosure prior to Project appraisal. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) will be responsible for overall implementation and management of the project. The PMU to be established within MARD would provide the support to all the three Ministries and responsible for overall coordination and monitoring of the project. The implementation of the rehabilitation works and preparation of dam safety plans, including safeguard and fiduciary, would be decentralized to the provincial level authorities. Provincial project management unit (PPMU) of DARD in each province will response to manage and monitor the sub-project under MARD supervision The project will support the physical rehabilitation of the existing irrigation dams most of which were built during the 1980s and 1990s. About 90% of the dams to be rehabilitated are earthen structures and are considered as small dams with height of less than 15m and design volume of less than 3 million cubic meters (MCM). The proposed project is not intended to support significant structural modifications or expansions beyond what is needed to ensure safety. The rehabilitation will be limited to reshaping of the main and auxiliary dams, slope stabilization by either concrete slab or in-situ or stone paving, strengthening or expansion of existing spillways to increase the discharge capacity, refurbishment of existing intake structures, replacement of mechanical and electrical systems of intakes and spillways, grouting for seepage control and improvement of existing roads (access and management roads). The rehabilitation of the Da Teh irrigation reservoir is the one of the first year sub-projects that will be considered to implement under DRSIP. This ESIA is prepared for the subproject. Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 9 1.2 Objectives and methods of environmental and social assessment 1.2.1 Objective - The objectives of this ESIA is to carry out the environmental and social assessment of this specific sub-project so as the sub-project’s potential social and environmental impacts can be identified at early stage of subproject preparation, the measures to avoid or mitigate the potential negative social and environmental impacts can be proposed for implementation. - The key contents of this ESIA include assessments on the potential social and environmental impacts of the proposed rehabilitation works on the Da Teh Irrigation Reservoir; an environmental and social management plan (ESMP) which includes environmental monitoring and supervision plan, and reporting mechanisms. Through the ESIA, communication channels have been established to allow local communities to be informed about sub-project proposals and involve the decision making process 1.2.2 Method - Survey and field investigation: the Consultant team conducted 2 field surveys (1st phase) Januray 28th, 2015 to February 12th, 2015 and (2nd phase) on March 06th, 2015 to March 15th, 2015 - Sociological survey: interview 12 households (affected directly and indirectly, benefit) My Duc commune, Da Teh district of Lam Dong province, local leaders in the level of commune/ ward and city. - Statistical method: data collection, processing and analysis: (i) the meteorological, hydrological and environmental data for many years in the project area; (ii) The reports and data on the socio-economic and gender in 3 consecutive years of My Duc commune, Da Teh district of Lam Dong province. - Inherited method: inherit the research results of the relevant projects. - Expert method: consultancy unit participated and organized the meeting, the exposure to take comments on proposed measures to mitigate the negative impacts of the subproject of environmental experts, sociological experts, dam safety experts and gender experts. - Analytic and synthetic method: analyze and synthesize the impact of the project on the components of the natural environment and socio-economic at the operational area of the project. - Rapid assessment method: use the pollution factors of the World Health Organization (WHO) to estimate the amount of waste and pollution forecasting. - Comparison method: the impacts are evaluated by comparison with the norms and standards for the quality of soil, water, noise, air and other relevant environmental standards. - Figure model method: using Figure model to calculate and forecast the average concentration of pollutants in the exhaust gas of material transports to assess the impact of pollutants on the environment. Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 10 - Matrix method: to compare each activity of the project with each parameter or environmental and social component (air, water, health, economic, etc.) to assess the relationship of cause-consequences of the subproject implementation. 1.3 Approaches and methods of social assessment To ensure all potential impact could be identified during project preparation, the SA was conducted through series of consultations with various project stakeholders. A particular focus was maintained on households who are potentially affected (both positively and adversely). The research techniques employed for this SA include 1) review of secondary data, 2) field observations; 3) focus groups discussions/ community meetings, 4) key informant interview, and 5) households survey (Please see Appendix B1 for how the Sampling Frame). A total of 149 of respondents participated in the ESIA exercise for this subproject, of which 123 people participated in the household survey (quantitative), and 29 people participate in focus groups discussions, community meetings and key informant interview (qualitative). In section 4, 5 we will present the findings of the SA (positive and positive impact), including the result of the gender analysis. In Section 6, we will brefly perform the results of SA along with the recommendations on the basis of the SA results.

POLICY, LEGAL, AND ADMINISTRATIVE FRAMEWORKS 3.1 Country's Environmental and Social Safeguards Policies and Legislations This chapter provides the brief of the relevant environmental and social policies of the GoV and the World Bank. Annex-I includes the detailed description and discussion. 3.1.1 Environment Law on Environmental Protection (No.55/2014/QH13) dated June 23, 2014 and Decree on Environmental Protection Planning, Strategic Environmental Assessment, Environmental Impact Assessment and Environmental Protection Plans (No. 18/2015/ND-CP) dated February 14, 2015 are key legal framework for environmental management in Vietnam. Law on Environmental Protection (LEP) provides statutory provisions on environmental protection activities; measures and resources used for the purpose of environmental protection; rights, powers, duties and obligations of regulatory bodies, agencies, organizations, households and individuals who are tasked with the environmental protection task. LEP is applicable to regulatory bodies, public agencies, organizations, family households and individuals within the territory of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, including mainland, islands, territorial waters and airspace. LEP is on regulating strategic environmental assessment, environmental impact assessment and environmental protection commitment. According to Article 10, chapter II of LEP, the responsibility for preparing the planning for environmental protection are as following: 1) The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment shall prepare the national-level planning for environmental protection. 2) People’s Committees of centrally-governed cities and provinces (hereinafter referred to as provincial People’s Committee) shall take charge of formulating processes or preparing the local planning for environmental protection. Furthermore, the law also indicated to consultation on, inspection and approval of the planning for environmental protection (Article 11, chapter II) as well as the list of entities subject to strategic environmental assessment in appendix I and II of the Decree No. 18/2015/ND-CP dated February 14, 2015 of the Government: o The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment shall consult with Ministries, regulatory agencies and provincial People’s Committees in writing and hold an official consultation with relevant regulatory agencies and organizations during the preparation of the national-level planning for environmental protection. o Provincial People’s Committees shall consult with departments, regulatory agencies and People’s Committees of a district, town or city (hereinafter referred to as district-level People's Committee) in writing and hold an official consultation with relevant regulatory agencies and organizations during the preparation of the provincial-level planning for environmental protection. Inspection and approval of the planning for environmental protection shall be required as follows: Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 18 o The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment shall establish a Council for interdisciplinary inspection and prepare the national-level planning for environmental protection for submission to the Prime Minister with the intent to seeking the approval for that planning. o Provincial People’s Committee shall inspect and approve the report on the provincial- level planning for environmental protection after obtaining written advice from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment. Ministries, ministerial level agencies and Government bodies shall have the responsibility to establish the council or organize the selection of review service organizations to review environmental impact assessment reports of the projects within their competence of decisions and approvals, except inter-sector and inter-provincial projects Provincial level People’s Committees shall have the responsibility to establish the council or organize the selection of review service organizations to review environmental impact assessment reports of the projects that take place within their territories and subject to their competence of decision and approval and that of the People’s Councils of the same level. Management: Unit for Industrial Parks, Export Processing Zones and Hi-tech Zones: Provincial people’s committee can authorize the Management Unit for Industrial Parks, Export Processing Zones and Hi-tech Zones as regulated in Decree 29/2008/ND-CP dated 14/03/2008 by the Government on industrial parks, export processing zones and economic zones. The Section 3 of Chapter II of LEP describes the requirements of Environmental Impact Assessment. Owners of projects regulated in Clause 1 Article 18 of this Law shall carry out, on his own, or hire an advisory organization to carry out the environmental impact assessment and take statutory responsibility for the conclusive result after carrying out such assessment. The environment impact assessment must be performed in the preparatory stage of the project. The conclusive result yielded after carrying out the environment impact assessment shall be expressed in the form of the report on environmental impact assessment. Expenses incurred from the formulation and inspection of the report on environmental impact assessment, and included in total investment budget shall be covered by the project owner. According to Article 21 of LEP, the consultation to be required in the process of environmental impact assessment is aimed at completing the report on environmental impact assessment. It emphasis that consultation helps minimize the negative impacts on the environment and human beings and ensure the sustainable development of the project. Project owners are obliged to consult with regulatory agencies, organizations and communities that are directly affected by the project. The Article 22 of LEP describes the scope of EIA reporting. It will include: (i) origin of the project, project owners, and the competent authority's approval of the project, method of the environmental impact assessment; (ii) evaluation of technological choice, work items and any activity relating to the project which can cause bad effects on the environment; (iii) assessment of current status of natural and socio-economic environment carried out at areas where the project is located, adjacent areas and demonstration of the suitability of the selected project site; (iv) assessment and forecast of waste sources, and the impact of the project on the environment and community health; (v) assessment, forecast and determination of measures for managing the risks of the project posed to the environment and community health; (vi) waste disposal measures; (vii) measures for minimizing the impact of the project on the environment and community health; (viii) consultation result; (ix) environmental management and supervision Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 19 programs; (x) budget estimate for the construction of environmental protection facilities and measures to be taken to minimize the environmental impact; and (xi) alternatives to the application of measures for the environment protection. The Article 23 of LEP defines the authority to verify the report on EIA. The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment shall arrange to verify the report on environmental impact assessment in respect of the following projects: (a) Projects subject to the decision on investment intentions made by the National Assembly, Government and the Prime Minister; (b) Interdisciplinary or inter-provincial projects stipulated at Points b and c Clause 1 Article 18 in this Law, exclusive of those classified as the secret projects in the field of national defence and security; and (c) Projects verified by the Government’s authorized entities. The Ministries and quasi-ministerial agencies shall inspect the report on environmental impact assessment in respect of projects that shall be permitted under their decision and approval, but are not specified in regulations mentioned at Points b and c Clause 1 of this Article. The Ministry of National Defence and the Ministry of Public Security shall arrange to verify the report on environmental impact assessment in respect of projects that shall be permitted under their decision and approval, and those classified as the secret projects in the field of national defence and security. Provincial People’s Committees shall arrange to verify the report on environmental impact assessment in respect of investment projects within their territories that are not regulated at Clause 1, 2 and 3 of this Article. The Article 26 of LEP describes the responsibility assumed by the project owner after being granted the approval of their report on the environmental impact assessment. These include – Clause 1: comply with the requests specified in the approval of their report on environmental impact assessment. Clause 2: where any change in the project size, capacity and technology applied in the project execution is blamed for the negative impact on the environment in comparison with the alternatives given in the approved report on environmental impact assessment, but is not too serious to make another report as stipulated at Point c Clause 1 Article 20 pf this Law, the project owner must send their explanation to the agency who grants the approval of the report on environmental impact assessment, and the project shall be commenced only after obtaining the permission from such agency. The Article 27 of LEP explains the responsibility assumed by the project owner before bringing the project into operation. These include - Clause 1: apply measures for the environmental protection under the decision on the approval of their report on environmental impact assessment; and Clause 2: notify the agency who grants the approval of the report on environmental impact assessment of the developmental process of environmental protection works functioning as an ancillary part of major projects that can cause bad impacts on the environment in accordance with the Governmental regulations. These projects will be commenced only after the agency in charge of the approval of the report on environmental impact assessment has inspected and certified the completion of environmental protection works. The Article 28 of LEP mentions the responsibility of the agency in charge of approving the report on the environmental impact assessment. These include – Clause 1: Bear the statutory responsibility for their conclusive result and decision on the approval of the report on environmental impact assessment. Clause 2: Within a period of 15 days as from the date on which the project owner’s report on the completion of environmental protection works under the regulations specified in Clause 2 Article 27 of this Law, the agency in charge of approving the report on environmental impact assessment must examine and issue the certificate of completion of environmental protection works. Where an analysis of complicated Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 20 environmental criteria is required, the time span for the issuance of the certificate of completion of environmental protection works can be extended for less than 30 days. The Article 13 of the Decree (No. 18/2015/ND-CP) explains the requirement of the pertaining EIA agencies. Clause 1: the project owner or the advisory organization conducting EIA must meet all requirements – (a) there are staff members in charge of EIA meeting requirements prescribed in Clause 2 of this Article; (b) there is specialist staff members related to the project obtaining at least Bachelor’s degrees; and (c) there are laboratories, inspection and calibration devices eligible for performing measurement, sampling, processing and analysis of environmental samples serving the EIA of the project; if there is not any laboratory with decent equipment for inspection and calibration, it is required to have a contract with a unit capable of carrying out inspection and calibration. Clause 2: the staff members in charge of EIA must obtain at least Bachelor’s degrees and Certificate in EIA consultancy and Clause 3: the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment shall manage the training and issuance of Certificates in consultancy of EIA. In addition, the following Articles are important in the context for EIA approval and reporting. - Article 14: the authorities for different scales of EIA report approval with deadlines - Article 15: re-compilation of EIA reports - Article 16: responsibility of project owners pertaining to the approved EIA reports - Article17: inspection and confirmation of environmental protection works serving the operation phase of the projects - Article 21: Reporting. 3.1.2 Dam safety regulations Decree no.72/ND-CP on date 07/05/2007 of the government of Vietnam regarding on dam safety management. According to the decree, a big dam is the dam with the height calculating from the floor face to the top of the dam equal to or greater than 15 meters or dam of water reservoirs with the scale of capacity equal to or greater than 3,000,000 m3 (three million cubic meters). Small dam is the dam with the height calculating from the floor face to the top of the dam smaller than 15 meters. Dam owners are organizations and individuals owning dams to harness the benefits of water reservoirs or assigned to manage, operate and harness water reservoirs by the competent state agencies. Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development takes responsibility before the Government for the implementation of state management of dam safety. The Ministry of Industry presides over and coordinates with ministries, branches and relative localities to appraise, approve or submit to the Prime Minister for approval of the process of operating hydropower reservoirs. The provincial-level People's Committees implement its state management on dam safety in the areas. In chapter 4 of Decree no.18/2015/ND-CP on date 14/02/2015, from the article 12 to article 17 were specified in the formulation, evaluation and approval of environmental impact assessment reports, the implementation of projects and the designed mitigation measures to protect environment before and after a project officially operation. In the article 12 of this Decree also regards on environmental impact assessment process to the project implementation, the project owner have to organize meetings to public consultants, such as Provincial People's Committees, local authority (Commune People's Committees level- CPC), affected (direct or indirect) people or committees in the local by the project implementation, mandatory; analysis the feedbacks, comments obtained from the affected groups, and consider advantage or disadvantage the impacts of the project to community and to design the mitigation measures to reduce the negative impacts on natural environment, biodiversity, community. According to the Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 21 annex no.2 of the Decree, the project has to make EIA if the reservoir capacity is of 100,000m3 or more. According to the regulations of Vietnam Government, the all proposed subprojects under DRSIP project have to perform the report of Environment Impact Assessment (ESIA). 3.1.3Land acquisition The GOV’s Legal Framework: The legal framework with respect to land acquisition, compensation and resettlement is based on the Constitution of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (2013), and the Land Law 2013 (revised), and other relevant decrees/guidelines. The principal legal documents applied for this RPF include the followings: - Constitution of Vietnam 2013 - The Land Law 45/2013/QH13 which has been effective since July 1, 2014 - Decree No.43/2014/ND-CP dated on May 15, 2014 guiding in detail some articles of Land Law 2013 - Decree No.44/2014/ND-CP dated on May 15, 2014 provides on method to determine land price; make adjusted land price brackets, land price board; valuate specific land price and land price consultancy activities - Decree No. 47/2014/ND-CP dated on May 15, 2014 providing compensation, assistance, resettlement when land is recovered by the State - Decree No. 38/2013/ND-CP dated on April 23, 2013, on management and use of official development assistance (ODA) and concessional loans of WB - Decree No. 72/2007 / ND-CP dated on May 07, 2007 of the Government on management of dam safety - Decree No. 201/2013 / ND-CP dated on November, 27, 2013 of the Government detailing the implementation of some articles of the Law on Water Resources - Circular No. 36/2014 / TT-BTNMT dated on 30 June 2014, regulating method of valuation of land; construction, land price adjustment; specific land valuation and land valuation advisory - Circular No. 37/2014/TT-BTNMT dated on 30 June 2014, regulating compensation, assistance and resettlement when the State acquires land - Decision No. 1956/2009/QD-TTg, dated on November 17, 2009, by the Prime Minister approving the Master Plan on vocational training for rural labors by 2020 - Decision No. 52/2012/QD-TTg, dated on November 16, 2012, on the assistance policies on employment and vocational training to farmers whose agricultural land has been recovered by the State - Others.

Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 22 3.1.4 Indigenous/Ethnic minority people Viet Nam has a large number of policies and programs specifically designed to assist ethnic minorities’ development. The Government of Viet Nam (GOV) has paid much attention to the welfare of ethnic minority groups. There is a ministerial-level government body, the Committee for Ethnic Minority and Mountainous Area Affairs (CEMA), which is in charge of management functions for ethnic minorities and mountainous areas. A country profile of Viet Nam published by the International Work Group for Indigenous Affairs (IWGIA) reports that: “Indigenous peoples are full citizens of the Vietnamese state and enjoy constitutionally guaranteed rights to their languages and cultural traditions....On the legislative level, the “Council on Ethnic Minorities” has the mandate to advise the National Assembly on ethnic minority issues and to supervise and control the implementation of the government’s ethnic minority policies and development programs in ethnic minority areas.” The document also reports that since the 1960s, a number of policies and programs have been designed specifically for ethnic minorities, but these are mainly aimed at integrating them into mainstream society rather than enabling them to strengthen their own institutions. Regarding land issues, it reports that “it is important to highlight that the present legislation in Viet Nam allows for obtaining use right certificates for land and forest and that in 2004 the National Assembly passed a new land law which, most relevant for indigenous peoples, now includes the category of ”communal land”. By introducing the concept of communal land, the new law provides for the possibility of communities to apply for certificates over communal land. 3.2 Implications of National Policies and Regulations on the Proposed Project Based on the analysis of the national legal framework, the project will have to fulfil the following minimum requirement and process: • PPMU or the consulting firm conducting EIA must have staff members in charge of EIA must obtain at least Bachelor’s degrees and Certificate in EIA consultancy. They will also have or arrange adequate laboratory facility for performing measurement, sampling, processing and analysis of environmental samples serving the EIA (Ref. Article 13 of Decree). • Considering the nature of the subproject, the Provincial People’s Committee (PPC) shall assess and approve EIA reports (Ref. Article 14 of Decree). PPC shall arrange to verify the report on environmental impact assessment in respect of investment projects within their territories (Ref. Article 23 of LEP). • The assessment of EIA report shall be conducted by the EIA report assessment council established by the Heads of the EIA report assessment authority with at least 07 members. Members of EIA report assessment council shall consist of 01 President, 01 Vice President where necessary, 01 Secretary member, 02 Opponent members and other members, which at least 30 percent of the Assessment council members having at least 06 years' experience in the EIA field (Ref. Article 14 of Decree). • Deadlines for assessment of EIA report is within 30 working days from the date on which the satisfactory application is received (Ref. Article 14 of Decree). Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 23 • PPMU will have to comply requests specified in the approval of their report on EIA. For any change, the project owner must send their explanation to PPC (Ref. Article 26 of LEP). • PPMU will have to notify PPC and the rehabilitated dam will be commenced only after the agency in charge of the approval of the report on environmental impact assessment has inspected and certified the completion of environmental protection works (Ref. Article 27 of LEP). • PPMU will prepare a completion report for environmental protection work and within 15 days of receiving the report, PPC must examine and issue the certificate of completion of environmental work (Ref. Article 28 of LEP). • The inspection of environment protection works serving the operation phase of the subproject shall be carried out by an Inspectorate which is established by the Head of PPC (Ref. Article 17 of Decree). • The PPC shall send a report on assessment and approval for EIA report, registration and inspection of specific environment protection plans, inspection and approval for environment protection works in the province of the previous year to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment before every January 15 (Ref. Article 21 of Decree). . • MARD shall send reports on assessment and approval for EIA report, inspection and approval for environment protection works of the previous year related to project under their management to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment before every January 15 (Ref. Article 21 of Decree). 3.3 World Bank Safeguard Policies The objective of these policies is to prevent and mitigate undue harm to people and their environment in the development process. Safeguard policies provide a platform for the participation of stakeholders in project design, and act as an important instrument for building ownership among local populations. The effectiveness and development impact of projects and programs supported by the Bank has substantially increased as a result of attention to these policies. The World Bank Safeguard policies are available in its website: http://web.worldbank.org/WBSITE/EXTERNAL/PROJECTS/EXTPOLICIES/EXTSAFEPO L/0,,menuPK:584441~pagePK:64168427~piPK:64168435~theSitePK:584435,00.html. 3.4 Implications of World Bank Safeguard Policies on the Proposed Project Eight World Bank policies have been triggered for the main project. These are: Environmental Assessment (OP/BP 4.01), Natural Habitats (OP/BP 4.04), Pest Management (OP/BP 4.09), Physical Cultural Resources (OP/BP 4.11), Indigenous Peoples (OP/BP 4.10), Involuntary Resettlement (OP/BP 4.12), Safety of Dams (OP/BP 4.37) and Projects on International Waterways (OP/BP 7.50). According to WB Operational Policy (OP 4.01), the nature of environmental assessment to be carried out for a particular sub-project would largely depend on the category of the sub-project. As mentioned earlier, The World Bank Operational Policy (OP) 4.01 classifies projects into Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 24 three major categories (category A, B and C), depending on the type, location, sensitivity and scale of the project, and nature and magnitude of potential impacts. Considering the environmental risk and complexity related to a large number of subprojects to be implemented in a widespread area, the project has been classified as category ‘A’. However, the subprojects to be funded under the projects can be categorized as ‘A’ or ‘B’ or ‘C’ depending on the extent, scope and impact of the specific subproject. The project physical activities would only work on existing dams and are not expected to lead to conversion or degradation of critical or semi-critical natural habitats. However, it is required to scope, screen and assess potential impacts to natural habitants as part of the subproject ESIA. The project will not finance any procurement of fertilizers and pesticides. However, since the dam rehabilitation work will increase the agriculture command areas, there are chances of more uses of fertilizers and pesticides in the project influence areas. The project will promote the application of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and guidance will be included in ESMF. Since the exact subproject locations are unknown at this stage, there is possibility that some rehabilitation work and access road may pass through areas with physical cultural resources. The impacts will be examined as part of the environmental screening/assessment of different subprojects. In addition, ‘Chance find’ procedures conforming to local legislation on heritage would be evaluated so that any physical or cultural resources are not impacted. The project may intervene in areas where indigenous people live (specific subproject locations will be determined during implementation). In addition, the project may require land acquisition and resettlement. As such, an Ethnic Minority Policy Framework (EMPF) and Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) are required for the project and will be prepared separately. The project will not finance construction of any new dams or significant change in dam structure. This policy is triggered as the project will finance rehabilitation and improvement of existing dams including large dams (15 meters or more in height). Thus, it requires to arrange for one or more independent dam specialists to (a) inspect and evaluate the safety status of the existing dam, its appurtenances, and its performance history; (b) review and evaluate the owner's procedures for operations and maintenance; and (c) provide written report of findings and recommendations for any remedial work or safety-related measures necessary to upgrade the existing dam to an acceptable standard of safety. Policy and practice relating to dam safety needs to meet international benchmarks, such as those are laid out by ICOLD and the World Bank regulatory frameworks for dam safety. These measures are designed into the project, which includes the establishment of a national dam safety review panel (DSRP). Also the project will establish an independent Panel of dam safety Experts (PoE) who will carry out independent review of dam safety reports and proposed mitigation measures. This PoE will be working closely with the to-be-established DSRP to ensure the technical integrity of investment interventions. Each subproject will have separate Dam Safety Plan (DSP) in addition to the ESMP. The WBG guidelines provide guidance on certain EHS issues, which include standards for environmental parameters (ambient air quality, water and wastewater quality, noise level, waste management), hazard and accident prevention, occupational and community health and safety (during commissioning and decommissioning works) etc. These guidelines will be directly applicable to the proposed project. As a general rule, the WBG guidelines should complement the existing Vietnam guidelines or standards. In case the Vietnam guidelines or standards differ from the WBG guidelines, project is expected to follow the more stringent ones. Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 25 The World Bank access to information policy would be directly followed. The project will make the environmental/social assessment and ESMF documents available to the public by publishing it in their websites. In addition, Hard copies of these documents in English (including Vietnamese language) will be made available in the PMU and all PPMUs. Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 26 CHAPTER IV: ENVIRONMENT AND SOSIO-ECONOMIC CHARACTERISTIC OF THE PROJECT AREA 4.1. Physical conditions 4.1.1 Natural conditions The catchment areas of Da Teh reservoir is approximately 198 km2, a part of the catchment is mountain topography with its elevation of 500m, and this is also the starting point of Dong Nai river. The areas is covered by secondary forest. Downstream of the reservoirs is the irrigated area which is 2300 ha of arable land of My Duc, Quang Tri and Da Teh towns. Main dam Da Teh Reservoir Receiving channel Figure4.1.Location of Da Teh reservoir and its influenced areas Climate condition: Da Teh Reservoir basin is located in the central areas of Vietnam. It has a tropical monsoon climate which can be divided into two distinct seasons. The dry season starts from October to April last year. During this period, highest rainfall occurs in May, caused flooding “grain full”. The wet season (rainy season) starts from September to December in the same year. The rainfall in the period covers 80%-85% of total annual rainfall. Also, from Augusst to September the areas has receive intensive rainfall and caused a high flood risk. The rainfall in Da Teh areas has an average of 2800mm (intensive rainfall recorded in 2001). Temperature: Average temperature in the areas is 21oC. Warmest month (30-35oC) is in August. The lowest temperature 4-5oC is in December and January (source:Binh Lam Dong, 2015). In general, the area represents an average high temperature range and the constantly gradient change. Humidity: The average humidity in the areas is 85-86%, relative humidity varies significantly with an average of 90% in the wet season period. In addition, in summer time, the air humid value is approximately 80% due to the Foehn wind influenced. Table 4. 1.

The annual average flows of to the reservoir is 10.04 (m3/s) or 267.88 x 106m3 per year. Annual peak flood discharge to Da Teh reservoir is, mainly occur in Setember to December, the designed flood peak discharge is Q =777.4 m3/s. Annual water discharge depends on total water coming into the reservoir, with frequency of P=1% , total water flowing into reservoir in case of flood is M = 267.88*106m3 0m3. This amount of water is the main reason of increasing water level in the reservoir up to 159m, but this is in safe condition, because the designed high flood level of reservoir is 158.1m, hence no emergency water releasing needed ( spillway will operate in case of water level exceeded 150.2m). In case of discharging flood water out of Da Teh reservoir, the flow goes freely to the spillway via the spillway channel which is connected to the Dong Nai River. Figure 4.2. The buiseness bridge and spillway of the reservoir Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 28 The flow of Da Teh streams is occur only during the rainy season. In many years of operations of the Da Teh reservoir, there is no record or evidence that Da Teh stream have been overflown as the result of flood water discharge from the Da Teh reservoir. On the other hand, along to the Da Teh stream there is no resident areas, so that releasing of floodwater have no impact to local peaople or infrastructures in downstream areas Figure 4.3. Land scape around the reservoir Flora: The vicinity ofDa Teh reservoirhas somebroadleaf treessuch as com tree, bodkin, oak, and chestnut etc. In theagriculturalsector, there are some natural plants andrecovered plants after cultivation, such as oak, chestnut with low quality, manyvines and encroached bush Funna: Terrestrial flora and fauna in the project area primarily consist of cattle, pigs, chickens and some species of wild fauna and flora, such as squirrels, rabbits, birds, deer, wild boar, badger, mink, leaning etc. Some kinds of bird (such as shrike, starling, cuckoo, woodpeckers) and a small quantity of reptiles are inhabited in the area of upstream are also available in the area. According to a survey in February 2015 of environmental consultancy, there are no rare animals in the Red list in need of protection inhabiting in the forests of My Duc and Quang Tri commune. There are also no ecological parks or protective areas which should be protected in the project area. Geological characteristics Da Teh dam is a homogeneous earth dam with side slopes are covered with sticky soil. Althrough there is no reliable data available on the minimum water level, the reservoir maintains a certain level of water throughout the year. Based on the results of geological survey in 1993 together with the investment report by the Company of Highlands Construction Consulting and Irrigation Limited in 2009, the geological characteristics of the area are as follows: - Layer A: Mixed rock on the dam surface, the average thickness of 0.4 m; - Layer 1A: Clay, clay mixed with crushed with the colors of gray, yellow, white brown and gray brown, medium structure in hard plastic state with the average thickness of 0.7 ÷ 1.6 m; - Layer 1: clay, mixed clay with yellow brown, pink colour, medium structure in hard and soft plastic state with the average thickness of 12 ÷ 14 m; Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 29 - Layer 2: Clay in yellow brown and pink brown color in medium soft plastic state with the average thickness of 12 m, distributing in the left body of the dam; - Layer 2A: mixed sand and laterization gravel, yellow-brown with the average thickness of 3 m, distributing in the right body of the dam; - Layer 3: clay, loam with grit with the colors of pink-brown, tan, gray-yellow, gray and white, tightly structure, hard plastic state, semi-hard, the average thickness of 1 - 25 m; Layer 4: Basalt gray with the colors of yellow, black and gray. Hydrogeologicalconditions In accordance with investment report, groundwater in the district is under two major complexes: - Aquifier complex that is porous with Holocene sediments, including: Pebbles, calculus, siltstone,andpeat, water layerthicknessof1-25m,the volumetric flow of water can be extracted from aquifers is from 0.01 to 6.89l/s. - Aquifiercomplex withfracturesofterrigenous sediments, late JurassicandCretaceousvolcaniclate, composite componentsinclude: StoneDaxit, Riolitupstairs, sandstoneandsiltstonedownstairs. The weathered surfaceis sandy loam with0.5 to 5m of thickness, thethicknessof all complex is about450metre, the volumetric flow of water can be extracted from aquifers is from is0.06 to 0.64l/s. The quality ofgroundwaterin the project areais as follows: - Shallow groundwater(wells): Shallow groundwaterlevelsvary byregion and byseason. Central area ofDa Tehdistrictisregulated byDa Teh Lake. In the rainy season, the water levelis within1-2m, butin the dry seasonthe water leveldrops to5-6m. - Groundwater in deep level (wells with depths> 20m): In depth of above 20 metres, hardness and alkalinity of underground water are quite high (totality hardness of 1,950mg CaCO 3 /litre, totality alkalinity of 1,325 mg CaCO 3 /litre, acidic environment of 0.8 mg oxygen/litre). Thus, if the extraction of groundwater is for water supply to residential areas such as towns and industrial areas, it requires technical measures for treatment. 4.1.2.Current status of water environment a. Water source Surface water: The main water source in the subproject area is from Da Teh reservoir. This water source has the main role as supply for irrigation water to 2,300 ha of agricultural land of Da Teh district, with quite good water quality. Water quality is evaluated through analytical data of water samples taken in Da Teh reservoir as in Table 4.2 (and Table 4.1 shows sample location) as followed: Table 0-1: Location, coordinates for taking surface water samples Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 30 Coordinates No. Symbol Description of water sampling locations Latitude Longitude Da Teh reservoir, near the spillway,Con O village, 1 NM1 11033’20” 107032’45” My Duc commune, Da Teh district.

Evaluation of underground water: Analytical results of underground water samples in the above Table illustrates that: most of monitoring parameters of underground water in the project area are in limit values of QCVN 09: 2008/BTNMT. However, NH3-N parameter of all monitoring locations is over standard value. This can be explained that it is due to the fact that the soil around the project area is agricultural land, during cultivation, people use fertilizer (chemical, organic fertilizers) in order to increase production yield so that underground water quality is affected in the project area. 4.1.3Air and Noise The air quality in the subproject area is within the national standard. The economy is mainly agricultural production, and the industrial and service sectors are underdeveloped, thus such activities have not caused air pollution yet. According to the report on current state of the environment by Lam Dong province in 2014, the value of the parameters controlling air quality such as CO, SO2, NO2, dust in Da Teh district as well as in the project area are in accordance with the regulation values (QCVN 05: 2009/BTNMT).

Population by gender In the project area, the averageproportionof womencomposes50.67% of the population (3,259 womenout of6,606people), the proportionof menconstitues49.33% (3,347 menout of6,606people). Thus, the proportion of women is higher than men. b. Roles of gender in commuinity activites According to the survey, women actively participate in the training courses such as agriculture, integrated pest management (IPM) and community healthcare. Besides the usual role in the family, women also play an important role in the production. They assume most of the agricultural work such as sowing, weeding, trans-planting and selling products. Men often take on the job as plowing, irrigating and harvesting. Previously, men often take over plowing, buying seeds and raw materials such as fertilizers, pesticides and borrowing loans but now women are also involved in these activities. If having affect by flooding, the women have to be responsible for a lot of consequences of flooding. c. Roles of gender inother income-generatingactivities In order to increase incomefor thefamily, bothmen and womenseek morejobsorparticipate inincome-generating activities other thanfarming. According tosurveyofEnvironmental ConsultancyFebruary 2015 in Da The District, there is 2,963female employeesof4,750employees workingin the individualnon-agricultural economic units(communes intheprojecthas149female employees). Thus,the numberof female workersin the districtaccounts for62.38% of the employees workingin the individualnon-agricultural economic units. See detail in the table below: Table 0-7: Labors working in the individual non-agricultural economic unit Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 39 No. Section Total of labor Male % Female % Quang Tri 1 79 62 78.48 17 21.52 commune My Duc 2 190 58 30.53 132 69.47 commune Total 269 120 44.61 149 55.39 Source: 2014 Statiscal Yearbook of Da Teh Distric Domestic waterand environmental sanitation According to Da Teh Statistical Department, so far, there is about 74.35% of the households in the subproject area has been using clean watersupplied from small water supply plants in the area, the remaining households use water from wells, from natural streams, surface water... In general, water resource is not hygienic. Especially when the flood occurres, most of the wells, latrines and cattle shed are flooded leading to a serious impact on the environment and health of people in the region even though sanitation has been implemented. Therefore, people in the subprojects easily get some kind of diseases such as trachoma, rashes, intestinal, particularly high percentage of gynecology in women. Percentage of households has used salubrious toilets is about 67.41% and the proportion of households has access to power reached 98.57%. Current use of water and sanitation in rural communes in the subproject area is presented in the table below: Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 40 CHAPTER V: ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL IMPACTS ASSESSMENT 5.1. Environmental and social eligibility screening of the sub-project 5.1.1. Environmental and social impacts screening The scope of work under this subproject include: (i) dam repair, seepage treatment, excavation, hardern dam surface , upstream and downstream slopes reinforcement for erosion control; termite treatment; (ii) build or repair new drainage system at the toe downstream slopes ; (iii) spillway rehabilitation, stilling basin extension, spillway crest repair; (iv) outlet works replacement; (v) upgrading access roads. According to the result obtained from environmental and social screening of the sub-project (see Table 4.1 in Appendix A.5) and the result from potential impacts screening for environmental and social (see Table 4.2 in Appendix A.5), in the sub projects areas, there are no ecotourism activities, navigation, aquaculture, fishing or nature reserve, the rare animal and special plant species, there is also no importance physical cultural resources, no household impacted by residential land acquisition or relocation, no minority households are affected by the project implementation. Extending the principal chute spillway from 18m to 24m will not have any major impact especially in terms the volume of water release via spillway to receiving channel. Because the receivingchannel behind spillway is a large stream with its cross section 25-30m in width, slope 10-15%, hence the receiver can handle a large volume of flood discharge. The maximum flood discharge makes the head water in the receiver rising up 1-2cm only. Around the flood discharge corridor of Da Teh reservoir (5km long), there are no resident areas, no cultivation fields, or special ecological system. There is only bush and shrub. Therefore, the extension of spillway does not impact the local resident, infrastructures, and ecosystems in downstream of the project area Given the scope of subproject i.e, rehabilitation of dam and the currently proposed measures(in the ESIA) that aims to avoid water cut, the potential adverse impact (due to lack of water) on farming activities could be avoided, or minimized. In addition, as part of mitigation measures, dam repair activities would be done during dry season when the cropping area are minimal, and when the type of crops grown by farmers does not rely on large quantity of water to sustain the crops. However, this issue will be further assessed during the detailed design. The potential loss of income, as well as loss of other economic opportunities of local people as a result of the water restriction (to allow dam repair) has been analyzed and compensation measures have been included in RAP. This will be updated to reflect the nature and scope of impact, consultation outcomes, and relevant compensation and support packages to ensure the affected people are not worsened off, in economic term, as a result of the subproject implementation. Most potential impacts of the proposed sub-project are mainly in land acquisition (production land), material transportation assessed at medium to low level and reverseable. 5.1.2. Ethnic minority screening As part of the social assessment, where ethnic minority (EM) peoples are present in the subproject area –as confirmed by the EM screening (as per Bank’s OP 4.10), consultation were carried out in a free, prior, and informed manner, to confirm if there is broad community support from affected EM peoples for the subproject implementation. EM screening was conducted as Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 41 per Bank’s OP 4.10, and was done the scope and coverage of the social assessment vis-à-vis the environmental assessment (OP 4.01). The results of ethnic minority screening showed that there are not any ethnic minority people living in the subproject area (including affected communities and beneficiaries). Therefore, it need not to prepare an ethnic minority development plan for this subproject. A gender analysis was also done as part of the SA to understand underlying gender dimensions (from project impact perspective), and to enable gender mainstreaming to promote gender equality, enhance further the development effectiveness of the subproject, as well as the whole project. A gender action plan was prepared in the Appendix B4 of this Report). There are 1614 EM beneficiaries households present in the sub-project area. In pursuing the development purpose of the project, these ethnic households are entitled to certain supports that are set for them in the Ethnic Minority Development Plan (EMDP) that was prepared for this subproject (please, refer to EMDP for this subproject for more details). 5.2. Positive impacts on environment and social of sub-project Da Teh sub-project implementation provides some potential positive impacts to environment and social aspects, they are: Enhance Safety for the dam. The rehabilitation of the dam under the sub-project will reduce the safety risk related to dam failure and improve their reliability of existing irrigation service. Improved irrigation service: The repair of the headwork will contribute to regulate the flow of water in rainy and dry season, provide improved water supply for agricultural production and domestic use in dry season. Besides, the phenomenon leak outlet is overcome, therefore, the water supply for agriculture and domestic use are ensure according to the original design, the initiative provides irrigation water for 2,300 hectares of crop land of My Duc commune and Quang Tri commune. Ensuring water supply for agricultural production activities generate increased business opportunities, increase crop yields, increased labor demand in local agriculture, matching the capacity of women. On the other hand when agricultural growth and create more development opportunities in other industries. Landscape: after the works, the landscape around the reservoir becomes more spacious and clean. Beautiful views coupled with convenient transportation will attract visitors, tourism hence increase the local incomes. Improvement of ecological environment: Area construction ground, reservoir and upstream areas of flora, the vegetation of the ecological environment will be significantly improved by the planting of trees, forest plantation ecosystem restoration after construction works is complete. Upstream forests and lakeside forest will be protected as well as planting, growing forest trees plus the tranquility will be a positive factors that attracting many species, especially small and medium sized mammals, birds to come to live. Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 42 Impact on socio-economic improvement: Livestock and poultry will have strong development momentum. Alter the fundamental quality of life, including cultural life, life in the region will be enhanced. Stable water supply from the reservoir to the region will contribute to stabilizing production practices and crop structure will change, increase the coefficient of land use. Upon completion of the entire canal system, canal network traffic creates smooth travel. 5.3. The potential negative social and environmental impacts 5.3.1 The historical negative impacts and mitigation actions The historical accidents: Da Teh reservoir was built in 1995. Since then, there is no serious accident happened. However, since 2008, the appurtenant structures of dam have been deteriorated and it not working at full the designed function: The original outlet works was not designed properly, it was not safe and contribiute the risk to the downstream areas, a large amount of water was leak and it was not possible to control water for irrigation. The original width of the spillway was 24 m and was insufficient for floof water release during flood. The downstream of the spillway has been eroded deeply due to the floodwater discharged through the spillway. Leakage through the outlet work reduced the reservoir’s storage capacity. The reservoir only has enough water to irrigate the first half of the summer – autumn crop. Water for the winter- spring - summer collection is dependent on rain water thus unrealiable, affect the crop productivity and livelihood of 1,600 households in the serviced the areas. Crest of dam The dam is a part of the operational management route. The dam crest is 600m long, 5m wide and was laid macadam in 2010; however, many sections were peeled off, forming potholes or slope failure, poor road quality. There are no items or elements securing project safety such as lighting, wheel guard, picket or station marker. Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 43 Figure 5.1: View of the dam crest from the Figure 5.2: View of the dame crest from middle the left abutment a) Upstream slope The upper slope of dam is structured by riprap, which is uneven due to sinking and wave impacts Figure 5.3: Lower dam face Figure 5.2: Upper dam face b) Downstream slope The survey shows that in the lower dam face, plants are dense and often have deep roots, which will increase risks of instability, seepage and create conditions for animals budden and termite cave. Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 44 Figure 5.5: Dense plants on lower Figure 5.3:Termitary dam face c) Management road The road to Da Teh reservoir from provincial road 725 is an aggregate road through Da Teh reservoir with a length is of 1.7km. The road to the dam is quite sloped, making it difficult to travel in rainy season. Two sides of road is crop land, there is no households living in there and no public construction or local infrastructures. d) Spillway Flood overflow discharge is arranged about 1,420m away from the dame, stone structure covered with reinforced concrete; joint by water slope and drained by tank. Overflow surface and water slope bottom are covered with good reinforced concrete, the end section is quite sloped. The wall on overflow site was built of stone a long time ago, water drainage equipment is damaged, forming seepage flows along the wall foot both inside and outside. Some positions are peeled off. The wall is low, making soil and stone on both side flow into the water slope, plants grow alternately the wall structure. On both sides of the wall, many erosion holes appear due to surface flow and seepage flow. Lower derivation is narrow and plants are dense, which limit water drainage. The receiver canal behind spillway is a large stream with its cross section 25-30m in width, slope 10-15%, hence the receiver can handle a large volume of flood discharge. The maximum flood discharge makes the head water in the receiver rising up 1-2cm only. Around the flood discharge corridor of Da Teh reservoir (5km long), there are no resident areas, no cultivation fields, or special ecological system. There is only bush and shrub. Therefore, the extension of spillway does not impact the local resident, infrastructures, and ecosystems in downstream of the project area. The proposed rehabilitation works will not alter the hydrologic regime of the reservoir and the receiving downstream channel. It will merely strengthen the existing dam structures to improve safety. During construction, there will be no release of water into the La stream as the spillway overflow height is fixed and has no control gate.Expansion of the spillway will enable flood discharge capacity, ensure safety of the reservoir in case of larger flood or equivalent to design flood. As the result of hydraulic calculation, the stream segment to the receiver can ensure flood water discharge from Da Teh reservoir corresponding to design flood water level. Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 45 e) Intake The water intake is arranged at the right abutment by reinforced concreted. Formally, it is a box culvert with control valve on upper side. The control valve is in quite good condition, the valve gate is not watertight or leak. The wall and water apron bottom and derivation face of the intake are all peeled off. f) Management house According to the inspection of the reservoir actual sate, no management house is arranged to the reservoir. The reservoir operator is using the head office of the factory which is 5km away for management. A worker living near the contact area is assigned to be in charge of the intake opening and closing. 5.3.2. Land Acquisition and Gender Impacts There is no change in the scope of land acquistions at the detailed design stage compared with FS stage. Land acquisition and resettlement To ensure safety of the work and prevent incidents, the Sub-project will acquire an amount of land owned by 12 HHs: along the road resulting from expansion of the dam and concreting of roads. Total permanently land acquisition is 10,000 m2. - Payment of compensation will be as follows: full payment to be made to all affected persons sufficiently before land acquisition; - Assistance for APs who have to build their houses in the new place ; - Support people for recovering the income sources; - public consultation and compensation policy making: APs should be fully informed and consulted about land acquisition plan, leasing and relocation activities; - Affected persons should be monitored regarding the restoration of production activities. (Presently, the relocated households are stable and continue production.) Results of survey and proposals The affected household agreed with the compensation policies and move to another place for project since 12/07/2010. All households now are settled, but some moved to other places. Impacts on Income and living standard of local resident: The rapid number of worker in the areas, (150 workers) could increase the additional pressure on the existing infrastructures and community services of the local such as on medical care, emergency, safety, etc.), markets sanitation service, food and water supply. 5.3.3 Construction Impacts The subproject will have some construction related impacts. Landscape will be altered by construction works, exploitation of construction materials and waste disposal. Trees and vegetation cover will be removed from the land to be acquired. Dust, noise and vibration will be generated from dam and access road rehabilitation and transportation. Solid waste and wastewater will be generated from construction sites and workers camps. Irrigation service will be disrupted during the replacement of the water intake. Loss of vegetation cover, changes in drainage pattern, erosion potential and possible sedimentation would be issues of concerns at Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 46 borrow pits. The introduction of workers and construction plants to the project area would cause social disturbance to local community. Construction activities, transportation, unloading or disposal of construction materials and wastes would cause safety risks to both local communities and the workers. Impacts assessment has been made based on the resources to be mobilised and the volume of work under subproject listed in Table 5.1.

Major landscape will be occurred in borrow pits and disposal areas. The potential impacts are not avoidable but manageable through engineering design measures and construction site management. In addition, the compensation for the site clearance of borrow pit has been successfully completed in 2009. Biological impacts. The main biological impacts of the subproject are limited. These mainly related to tree cutting during site clearance at borrow pits, workers camp site, storage area with total land area of approximately 1.7ha including 1ha plantation production and 0.7 hectares empty land. This impact mainly occurs at pre-construction or at early stage of construction. Although these trees have economical rather than biological values, removal of trees and vegetation cover. This biological impact is insignificant as no species or areas of bilogical important are affected. Seasonal vegetation cover will be lost, this impact is unavoidable but reversible in temporarily acquired land. During the rehabilitation of the dam, outlet work and the spillway, Excavation, leveling, draining the water in reservoir, spillway rehabilitation, waste generation and oil leaking, and other construction activities may cause negative impacts on water quality in the reservoir. Loose Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 47 materials falling into the reservoir may cases an increase in water turbidity, oil, greases and fuels may be leaked or washed into the upstream. These contaminants may have negative impacts on aquatic lives. However, the potential impacts will be minimal as the construction is limited in the area surrounding the dam face, outlet work and the sluices. This potential impact will be further minimized with the construction of coffer dams to be built to keep the water away from the structure but also prevent pollutants from coming into water in the main dam. Contractor will also be required to implement mitigation measures to minimise the potential impacts on the water quality of the reservoir. Another issue from tree cutting and removal of vegetation cover will increase soil erosion progress. Dust generating from construction activity and material transportation will impact to greenbelt along the roads (access and transportation roads). The dust spreading over 400m around construction site and 500m around the transportation road. But the impact assessed at low level, because the most plant along the road are short-period cultivation plants and the rain will wash the dust on the leaves. These effects are relatively clear, but localized and short-term influence to the ecological system. Increased level of dust, gas emission, noise and vibration. - Dust Increased level of dust may be resulted from site clearance, excavation, leveling, truck hauling, loading and unloading loose material, waste disposal, road rehabilitation, and transport vehicles. Concrete batch mixing and road traffic on unpaved roads combined with idling of vehicles can generate air born dust (suspended particulate matter) and gaseous emissions such as NOx, SOx and carbon monoxide. Dust can be released from unwashed machine and transportation vehicles, especially in a sunny days or drying season the dust clouds can upraise to 200m height in the air. Dam. The volume of construction materials includes 12,200 m3 of sand, 12,972m3 of stone, 3,865 tons of cement, 398 tons of steel. These materials are transported from Da Teh Town with distance of 10 - 70km transportation to construction site via national high way 1A, provincial road DT 725. The transportation route will also pass the Da Teh district. The outlet work. The volume of construction material includes: 112m3 of concrete, 18 tons of steel. Spillway.The volume of materials transporting to construction site 1.500m3concrete, 173 m3 of stone, 12 tons of steel. The material transportation routes will increase dust contents into environment of My Duc village. Access road rehabilitation.Ttransportation construction materials: 1,859 m3 of concrete, 35 tons of steels, 2.500 m3 of stone. Management house: The volume of materials transporting to construction site 4m3concrete, 70 m3 of stone, 5 tons of steel. The estimation volume of dust generating from contruction phase are 1,609 tones as shown in Table 5.2 below: Table 5. 2.

It may cause decreases in air quality and also affect the health of the construction workers and the communities living in the vicinity of the project area, particularly along the access road, borrow pits and the disposal sites. Total dust generating from those material will be 32kg. Dust (include high contents of NO2, CO, CO2) can cause respiratory and skin diseases, general supspended particles in the air maycause nuisance, constraint visuability and harmg the worker health on site and local resident living nearby. The impact assessed at moderate level. - Gas emission The gas emission is expected from transport 15,724 m3 of solid waste to disposal site by using diesel engine trucks with distance of 500m. Thus, in order to transport all the waste soil to disposal site, it need 2,877 trip of transportation vehicle (loading rate 7 tons per time). The construction materials (sand, cement, steel) will be transported to construction site by using 10 tons truck and al so need 5,689 times of transportation.The estimated volume of exhaust gas emitted from the project is shown in Table 5.5 below.

Average noise of bulldozer varies from 77-95 dBA, soil excavator is 72-96 dBA and truck is 70-96 dBA, while the permitted noise for bulldozer and excavator is 90 dBA, truck is 88 dBA. Thus, the level of noise generated from these construction machines will be below the allowable level. During construction phase, with a set of 73 machines and equipment working on site, this impacts generating from clearing, grading, excavation, levelling, truck hauling, stockpiling, waste disposal, road development, transport vehicle, and on site construction. It contributes an inconvenience condition to the people living around the sites and to the workers. If high frequency and high level of noise in long time exposutr, some negative impacts will occur to Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 49 the people and worker, reduce the yield of words, causing fatigue, stress, etc. But these impacts are most likely insignificant impact due to the resident areas located from construction areas (>500 m). The duration of impact is anticipated to be low as appropriate mitigation measures shall be applied during the construction phase. Solid waste from site clearance and excavation. Solid waste will be generated from site clearance, removal of top soil layer, debris from construction and campsite; During pre-constsruction phase, solid waste will be generated from tree cutting, removing the top soil layer, debris from camp and storage area sites; 80 m3 of waste soil, broke stone are expected to be generated by refill the excavated areas in the borrow pit. The tree cutting in the clearing areas handled by household, because the compensation plan included the cost of tree cutting to the affected household and clearing ground 20 workers are expected to work at pre- constructionwill generated 10 kg of solid waste each day. During construction phase, the volume of soil to be excavated from construction items is 95,724 m3, the volume of soil to be reused for filling is 80.000 m3. the residual volume of 15,724 m3 will be dumped at disposal site by dump truck, 500 m distance from dam. 150 workers and staff will be working at construction site, the estimated volume of domestic waste generating is 75 kg of waste /day (equal 0.5 kg of waste/person/day). The volume of construction solid waste generated under the subproject to be disposed of under the subproject will be approximately 15,724 cubic meters (from the dam, spillway and outlet) plus domestic waste from workers camps. With the 1,500 m2 of disposal site, the dump will be approximately 5m higher than the existing ground elevation, equivalence 7,500 m3 of wastes generation dumping into landfill areas, the rest will be used to fill the excavated part in borrow pit. Social and environmental implications associated with solid waste disposal site may include: - Loss of existing vegetation cover and trees planted at the disposal site - Erosion potentials related to new barren soil surface exposed to win and surface runoff - Disruption to existing drainage pattern and potential localised flooding by rain water - Slope stabilisation issues - inrterupt access to the nearby cultivation land, houses, and existing infrastructure, if any - Safety risks to workers and local community along the 0.5 kilometer transporation route and nearby the disposal site Construction wastewater. Construction wastewater is generated mostly from the activities such as concrete mixing, vehicle washing, machine and equipment cleaning, and construction material preparation. The estimation volume of construction wastewater at each site is from 3m3 to 5m3/d. Construction wastewater contains high suspended solid, inorganic matter and debris, low pH. The main small impacts of this wastewater are causing sedimentation in local canal systems and downstream areas and can be managed through site management measures. But with low wastewater. According to the research of Centre of environmental engineering of Ha Noi University of construction, the discharge and concentration of pollutant factors in wastewater are shown in table 5.6: Table 5.6: Discharge and concentration of pollution substance in construction wastewater Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 50 Discharge COD Grease SS (mg/l) No Sources (m3/day) (mg/l) (mg/l) Wastewater from cleaning 1 5.0 50-80 1.0-2.0 150-200 machine QCVN 24:2009/BTNMT (B) 6.3 100 5 100 (Source: Centre of environmental engineering of Ha NoiUniversity of construction) Waste and wastewater from workers’ Camps. Calculation of domestic waste and watewater generated by workers will be based on 0.5 kg of solid waste per day and 48 L of wastewater per day. As indicated in the first chapter of the report, construction of access road take place in 18 months. Taking the most disadvantage case, i.e. one group working on each work item most of the time there will be up to 150 workers working at the site. Up to 75 kg (150 *0,5kg/day) of domestic solid waste will be generated from the camp each day, total amount of domestic solid waste during the construction phase will be 40 tones. Improper management of such waste may pose health risks to workers and cause environmental pollution. Domestic waste storage, collection and disposal should be carried out properly under camp management plan (collect, storage and transport have to follow the regulation to protect environment and sanitairy) Domestic wastewater contains high suspended solid, organic matters, nutrient (nitrogen and phosphorus), and micro organism. Discharge of untreated domestic wastewater may cause pollution to soil and water. However, even with 150 workers at the site, the daily generation rate from construction camp will be 7.2m3 (150*48L) of wastewater, the total volume of waste water during the construction phase will be 3,888 m3 (18months*30days*7.2m3) which is easy to mange through camp management plan.

Overflow of rain water (run-off): the overflow of rainwater is likely occurring at construction site in the rainy seasons with the average rainfall in the areas is 3.300 mm/year. However the construction phase only takes place in dry season, so the wastewater generating from overflow of rain water can be negligible. Hazardous Waste Generation.20 vehicles of different types operate regularly on the construction site. Average amount of oil used for exchange is 18 liters/vehicle, 2 times/vehicle/year on average (real construction time). With about 20 vehicles, about 2,160 1 Sources: Environmental management in developing countries, series 1 Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 51 liters waste oil is discharged during the construction period. Oil overflow from construction devices or machinery cleaning water may cause pollution and reduce quality of water resources and aquatic ecosystems. The pollution level of gasoline is high volume and, the impact on the environment can limit if it applying a good hazardous waste management plan on the site before returning it to the gasoline supplier. Changing water flow pattern or water quality:the activities of the project in this phase can be modified the local flows patter due to increase water discharge into Da Teh stream. Wastewater generating from domestics activities in workers camps, washing equipments, vehicles and concrete mixing shall be a main pollutant sources to soils, surface water a and ground water resource. Wastewater containing high pollutant factors such as high TSS, organic matters, and pathogens. Also, run-off water (from construction site) can be an extra pollutant factors. The volume of wastewater generating from camp site and onsite is 3,888m3. Untreated wastewater or inadequacy treatment method can pollute water and soils resources in the local area. Hence, the mitigation measures for the issues related to site and camp management are necessary to manage the impacts of solid waste and wastewater. Increased risk of erosion and sedimentation and localised flooding risks. With large amount of earth work, erosion may occur in construction phase of dam repair, spillway and access road rehabilitation, at borrow pits and disposal areas. Especially, localised flooding may happen at construction site, borrow pits or disposal areas if exsiting drainage pattern is disruppted. Floodwater runoff through excavated slopes may cause incrases in erosion risks and that turbird water flow cause increased turbidity and sedimentation in receiving rivers or canals downstream of My Duc commune. This potential impact and risk is manageable through site management plan. Traffic disturbance and increased traffic safety risk: rapid increase in number vehicles in a small area will increase pressure on traffic condition in area, especially in the transportation routes along the 3,8km of the ĐT 725 road, the roads to the borrow pits and disposal site. It isestimated that 8,566 trips of vehicles with loading rate from 7 to10 tons will travel via Da Teh’s local road in 18 months, an average of 15 transportation times per day causing increased traffic safety risks to the local residents. However, this impact is manageable. Damage to local roads and exitsing rural infrastructure.Approximatly 8,566 trips ofcontruction vehicles travelling through the access road, between the construction sites and borrow pits, disposal sites would cause damages to the existing road. Particularly, the exiting the 3,8 km local road from ĐT 725, local roads to borrow pits and disposal sites can be easily damaged by heavy trucks. The roads would become muddy in rainy season, dusty in hot weather, become difficult and unsafe for local people to travel. On the other hand, most of existing rural infrastructures such as power poles, drainage channels, or irrigation canal are weak can be damaged easily. The areas of worker camp, borrow pit and landfill are located in unused land areas, and therefore the local infrastructure won’t impact by the activity. The potential impacts on the road is unavoidable but reversible with road surface reinstatement when construction is completed, damages to other existing infrastructure can be avoidable or reversible. Heath and Safety risks. During pre-construction phase, tree cutting, site clearance and ground leveling may cause accidents to worker or local people. Health risks for workers and local people can be from a number of sources and reasons. These can be (i) Domestic waste and wastewater generated from the workers camp and other construction sites but not being managed properly; (ii) Stagnant water, wastewater attracts and create breeding ground for mosquitoes, flies, the diseases transmission vectors, infectious diseases could break out from Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 52 the polluted environment; (iii) The hazardous material such as termite chemicals, oil if not managed properly can direct enter water sources and cause harm to the health of users; (iv) Residents living along transportation route and workers at construction site can be affected by dust, noise and vibration. These impacts can be managed by applying appropriate mitigation measures. During construction phase, heavy trucks travelling on local roads will increase the traffic accident risks, especially along sensitive parts such as schools or resident areas. Improper operations of machine may also lead to accident to workers and/or local people present at the site. This potential impact is at high level but can be minimised by an appropriate mitigation measures, particularly the application of WBG’s guidelines on Environment, Health and Safety. On the other hand, there are also safety (fire and accidents) risk related to the generation, usage, storage or handling of electricity, flammable liquids, vapours, and gases, and combustible dusts.This risk is manageable through Site Safety measures. Unexploded Ordinance (UXO). Some unexploded mines and explosive materials may be left from the war and pose safety risks to the workers if these are not cleared before construction is started. Da Teh reservoir was built in 1995, after Vietnamwar, so that most areas in the project are cleaned from land mines and explosive materials. The areas of landfill, access road and borrow pit still require to clean, total expectation of land is 17,000m2. In additional, these areas are in the unused land and far away from resident areas, so that risk of OXO assess at low level, just happened only to squard team. The project will have to contract specialised defence force to carry out mine clearance before construction commencement. The relevant guidelines on UXO management is provided in Appendx A.11. Sedimentation. The auxiliary areas and borrow pit are located in downstream of reservoir hence it is a not sources of reservoir sedimentation. But it is a main problem to irrigation canals and Da Teh stream. However, these activities are implemented in dry season, so these impacts are assessed at low level. Borrow Pits. Opening of new borrow pit will cause negative impact on the landscape, affectexisting natural drainage pattern, increase erosion potentials when the existing vegetation cover is replaced with barren soils, cuts and fills, slopes are created. Landslides and sedimentation risks may also be increased in the borrow pit area. Discharges from borrow pits, dust and debris created during transportation of materials can significantly impact surface and subsurface waters because of the sediment in water and runoff from material storage and handling areas. For the Da Teh sub-project, the borrow pits are located in downstream of reservoir, thus addition of sedimentation loads from the borrow pit to the reservoir will not happen. Abandoned borrow pits might spread vector-born diseases, especially when stagnant water accumulates. These impacts can be managed by appropriated mitigation measures. To mitigate impacts in the construction area, land gradients and drainages shall be maintained for proper discharge of wastes. Measures shall be taken to confine activities to designated locations and to minimize the creation of dust and debris during transportation. Protective measures shall be implemented during transportation (i.e. covering loads, reduced travel speeds etc.). All disturbed areas shall be properly reclaimed after construction and, slopes shall be re- contoured and proper drainage facilities will be maintained. Disruption to water supply. The Da Teh reservoir only supply water for irrigation. It was built to supply water to irrigate 2300ha of agricultural land. Construction work will disrupted water and lower the water level, thus no effect to irrigation water supplies downstream. During Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 53 construction of new outlet will carry out on the dry season, and will built a coffer dam with combined diversion thus ensuring irrigation water for agriculture land. Termite Treatment. Specific chemical will be used by authorised licensed consultant for termite treatment. Handling and usage of such chemical may pose health risks to the worker and the environment. Annex-Termite Treatment Procedures provide basic informatin on termite treatment process as well as safety requirements. Impact on aquaculture, tourism and inland water way transportation at downstream: These activities are not known to be exitsing at downstream. Therefore the sub-project would not have any impact to these activities. In summary some sources and some scopes of impacts during construction phase have been summarized in Table 5.8. Table 0-8: Sources and scope of impacts in the construction phase. Sources Scopes of Impacts - Noise: (i) Active - Within the scope of 15m compared with emissions and noise transport of construction from 70-96 dB materials; (ii) - When the distance of 250 m, the noise reached QCVN construction activity; (iii) 26:2010/BTNMT operate excavation and - Near the site, there is no household living. filling; (iv) operation of - Affects about some households living along the transit construction equipment routes. at site. - Focusing workers - The conflict between workers and the local people - The potential risks arising of social ills. - Transporting building - Deteriorated of road from DT 725 to site about 3.8 materials kilometers - With potentially increasing traffic accidents in the area. - Construction Activity - Safety reservoir - Degrade the quality and quantity of water supply to irrigate 2,300 hectares of crops. - Purchase and sale of - Improving people's income. construction materials - Promote economic and social development in the region. and services - Risk cofferdam - Affect the quality of water for 2,300 ha - Only occurs for a short time. - Risk of fire incidents - Seriously affected 150 workers directly involved in labor - Risk of occupational - Seriously affected 150 workers directly involved in labor accident - Risk of traffic accidents - Due to the increase in traffic density potential risks of traffic accidents during the transport of materials. - Dust and gas emissions: - Volume transport of building materials is 410,000 ton.

Cofferdam will Impacts by lowering the be built around the new intake position in the dry season so water level the water level remains normal place in the course of construction of new intake. The construction plans are needed to ensure the safety of the dam and does not increase the reservoir capacity for: - Improving the crest Zdd +158,5m to Z = +159.0m because: before, do not calculate the frequency of extreme floods, However, as recommended by the World Bank and the dam safety manuals, design consultants calculate dam safety check flood frequency according to 0.01% for results: - Z0.01% = +159.00m > Zdd = +158.50m Impacts by improving - So, if not improve, the flood crest overtopping the dam will the crest cause unsafe ground.

Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 55 5.3.4 Potential Impacts During operation phase Activities During the operational phase of the main activities related to the project is: - Reservoir operation: opens the offtake to supply water for agricultural activities and living of the people in Quang Tri and My Duc - Agricultural production activities mainly rice cultivation on 2,300 ha Most of the potential impacts during operation phase are expected to be positive during operation phase. Temporary construction impacts such as dust, noise and vibration etc. will be stoped during operation phase. When the construction is completed, the land use, landscape, local income and social economic tend to be stabilised. Improved dam safety and improved irrigation service would promote socioeconomic development and livelihood improvement for downstream communities. Some will change the status quo than in the past. Pest Management in relation to increased irrigated crop land. The area of crop land to be irrigated will be increased after the reservoir’s headworks have been rehabilitated. Meanwhile, the use of agrochemicals in agriculture is popular in Vietnam. Improper usage and handling of agrochemicals may harm the environment and cause health risks to the farmers. The sub-project will include Integrated Pest Management training for farmers to reduce the risks related to agrochemical use in extended serviced areas of the subproject. a. Affected objects - Landscape and ecological environment: improving the ecological environment, local traffic conditions and aquatic system. - local economic development, increasing and stabilizing agricultural and aquatic cultivations - Community health and safety: improving local health and safety - Air, water and soils. May increase the pollution due to use chemical to agricultural activities. b. Impacts on environment and social aspects Sedimentation: during operation phase, several impacts can be occurred, such as increased sedimentation in the reservoir and may be caused alteration of existing fish species. Increased sedimentation behind impoundment will lead to downstream impacts. As the sediment load increases, fish habitats may be modified (e.g. rocky river bed to mud cover) in long run by affecting spawning areas, and reduce primary production and fish food. Measures will be implemented to protect forests of the Da Teh watershed to reduce erosion leading to sedimentation of the reservoir. Continuous monitoring and modelling of sedimentation shall also be carried out. The duration and magnitude of the impact will be high as sediment load is expected to increase throughout the operation phase resulting in loss of fish species and poor water quality. The geographic extent of the impact will be moderate as there will be direct impacts on downstream users and aquatic life. The likelihood of occurrence of the impact will be high if sediments will decrease the quality of water and destroy breeding and spawning areas. The reversibility is considered low. The residual impact has been assessed to be high as impacts will occur throughout operations. It will bring significant changes to aquatic and human environments. Ecological impacts: The subproject would not cause any potential negative impacts to the downstream ecosystems in operation phase. The rehabilitation of the main dam and spillway, Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 56 replacement of the outlet work would not lead to any changes in hydrology at downstream. As described earlier in the baseline section, the streams that feed water to the reservoir are also dry in dry season, there is no natural flow even the flow in these streams have not been regulated by any structure. Since construction of the dam, water from the reservoir is released either through the outlet work, or the spillway. While the outlet work is connected directly to the irrigation system, the water in the spillway channel only exists in flood water. Risk of dam safety: Dam Safety Risks have been assessed and mitigation measures were proposed in detail in a separate Dam Safety Report prepared for the subproject. In sumamry, Table 5.8 provides the ources and scopes of impacts during operation phase. Tale0.8: Sources and scopes of impacts in the operation phase Source Scope of impacts Water supply and -For irrigation of 2,300 hectares of agricultural land belonging distribution of water for to two commune, My Duc and Quang Tri. irrigation - Domestic wastewater generated in one day is about 0.32 m3, Domestic wastewater This waste water is considered to be very small not affect operators of reservoir surface water environment Solid waste of workers The amount of waste generated in one day is about 2.5 kg operating the resevoir The impact of the increase in irrigated area leads to The process of rehabilitation and upgrading only ensure dam increased amounts of safety without increasing irrigated area, remained at 2,300 fertilizers and plant hectares irrigated area. protection drugs Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 57 CHAPTER VI: ALTERNATIVE ANALYSIS Several alternative solution were considered in the pre-feasibility study and feasibility of sub- projects, as follows: 6.1.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL MANAGEMENT PLAN The details of negative/positive impacts of Lam Dong sub-project were discussed in part V. The Da teh sub-project will not increase the water storage capacity of the reservoir. Most of the potential impacts and risks will be in the construction phase. The negative impacts generated from site clearance, excation and other construction activitites, handling and transporation of materials and waste, waste disposal, borrow pit and campoperationetc. Changes in landscape in disturbed areas, particularly the borrow pits and disposal site, generation of large amount of stockpiles, increased level of dust, noise and vibration from construction activities and transportation, domestic waste and wastewater from camps, social disturbance related to the mobilisation of workers to the sites, safety and health risks for workes and local community, disruption of irrigataion service are the key issues of concerns during construction phase. These impacts would mostly be at low to medium level, localized and reversible, and manageable. This management plan is proposed to manage these potential negative social and environmental impacts. The key potential impact and mitigation measures of direct construction-related impacts are summarised below: 8.1 Mitigation measures Land acquisition. Agreed to accept the compensation and allocation for investment from day 12/07/2010. All households now most stable life, some have moved to other places to live. This preparation of investment projects is not affected by land acquisition. Limiting risk of safety related to UXO. All works must be stopped and informed to competent authority. This issue has to follow regulations of mine clearance of Ministry of Defence (circular no. 146/2007/TT-BQP dated 4/5/2006). Singing contract with specialized forces of mine clearance at area of disposal site, borrow pit, material storage area and camp site. Informing to local authority and local people duration of mine clearance. Building fence to protect area and installing sign boards for warning. Limiting potential conflict between workers and local people. In order to limit conflict between residents of My Duc and 150 workers at construction, the following measures should be done: registering temporary accommodation for workers; following grievance redress meachnism to address conflict; encouraging social unions to show their rights and obligations in monitoring ESMP and monitoring the compliance of the contractors; creating information network among organizations, local authority, PMU and civil contractors, monitoring contractors in accessing any information of impacts during construction of project. Limiting impact on income of households and impact on gender. Although land acquisition is compensated according to the Resettlement policies frameworks, project owner should implement some measures to increase income and reduce impacts on gender such as: participate in unskilled job at construction site; allowing land owner harvesting plants and crops before clearing site in order to make money or use as a fuel; facilitating local people (women, the poor) desire to supply food to workers to increase their income Limiting risk of safety and health of workers. Complying with the safety provisons under Labour law and construction management regulations. Assigning specialized staffs on environment, safety and health; installing fence, signs, restricted area at construction site. Arranging edaquate and safey accommodation for workers with clean water and sanitation Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 63 facilities. Providing first aid equipment at camp site. Training workers about safety and providing adequately protective clothes for workers Limiting risk of safety and health of community. Installing protection fence, warning signs, traffic light at construction site to avoid/ prevent accidents, especially at sensitive area Limiting impact on landscape. Returning top layer at disposal site, borrow pit and other disturbed area; limiting waste volume by collecting and use of cutting tree with useful purposes Dust control. To mitigate impacts in the construction area, dust control measures shall be implemented on all unpaved roads and construction surfaces, particularly during dry and windy conditions and sections crossing residential houses and buildings. Production of dust and particulate materials at all times should be minimised all the times to avoid impacts on surrounding communities, and especially to vulnerable people (children, elderly people). Dust watering shall occur only during designated hours. The dust generated from stockpiles shall be controlled by compaction and the stockpiles shall not be allowed to expose for extended periods. The main access road to dam site. All trucks carrying construction materials shall be covered and no vehicles shall be left idling. Regular maintenance of vehicles (daily/weekly) shall be performed at designated areas. The traffic on access and service roads shall be regulated in order to minimize air pollution. In addition, all processes shall follow the code of practice during construction and operation phase that meets the requirements of Vietnamese standard (TCVN 5939-2005). The duration and magnitude of the impact is anticipated to be low if appropriate mitigation measures are applied during the construction phase. Noise minimisation. All construction-related traffic on project access roads should be operated within speed limits. Noise levels associated with all machinery and equipment should be maintained at or below 90db where possible. In sensitive areas (including residential neighborhoods, office, schools, etc.) Transportation during peak hours should be minimized, the vehicles shall be required to slow down and banned from using horns when passing these sensitive areas. Biological impacts management Large or significant trees in camp areas and access roads should be preserved wherever possible. The application of chemicals for vegetation clearing is not allowed. Construction shall be programmed in sequence so that the scale of earth moving activities and area of exposed surface can be minimized. Re-vegetation shall start at the earliest possible. Appropriate local species of vegetation shall be used. Restoration, of cleared areas such as borrow pits no longer in use, disposal areas, construction roads, construction camp areas, stockpiles areas, working platforms and any areas temporarily occupied during construction of the project works shall be accomplished using landscaping, adequate drainage and re-vegetation. Topsoil stripped from the work areas shall be used for landscaping works, and Watercourses, which have been temporarily diverted by the construction activities, shall be restored to their former flow paths. At the completion of construction work, all construction camp facilities shall be dismantled and removed from the site and the whole site restored to a similar condition to that prior to the commencement of the works, or to a condition agreed to with local authorities and communities. Construction Waste Management Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 64 Daily site clean-up, including maintenance of adequate disposal facilities for construction debris should be implemented. Debris generated due to the dismantling of the existing structures shall be suitably reused, to the best extent feasible (e.g. as fill materials for embankments). Under no circumstances any material should be disposed on in any in environmentally sensitive areas. Ensure stabilization for disposal site. Hazardous waste management Storage areas for diesel fuel and lubricants are not located within 100 meters of the camp or watercourses. Storage are of fuel or lubricants and shall be fenced and have a compacted/impervious floor to prevent the escape of accidental spillage of fuel and or lubricants from the site. Surface water drainage from fenced areas shall be discharged through purpose designed and constructed oil traps. Empty fuel or oil drums may not be stored on site. Waste lubricants shall be recycled, and not disposed to land or adjacent water bodies. Erosion and Sedimentation control Site activities shall be carefully managed in order to avoid site erosion and sedimentation of downstream waterways. Areas disturbed by construction activities shall be maintained in their existing state. The area to be disturbed should be minimal and stabilized as soon as possible. Drainage through the area should be controlled and trap sediment onsite. Install erosion control barriers around perimeter of cuts, disposal pits, and roadways if necessary. Water shall be sprayed as needed on dirt roads, cuts, fill material and stockpiled soil to reduce wind-induced erosion and dust. Construction CampManagement Recruit the available workforce whenever possible and provide appropriate training as necessary. To address potential ethnic tensions between workers and the local communities. The following general measures should be required for construction camps: 1. Be safe, has adequate and suitable facilities for washing clothes and utensils for the use of workers. The camp should have adequate toilets and washing areas for the workers expected on site. Toilet facilities should also be provided with adequate supplies of clean or potable water, soap, and toilet paper, be conveniently accessible and kept in clean and hygienic conditions at all times. 2. Effective sediment and erosion control during construction and operation of the construction work camps 3. Safe potable water is provided for food preparation, drinking and bathing. 4. There are septic tank systems for camp without causing pollution of nearby watercourses. Wastewater should not be disposed into any water bodies without treatment, in accordance to applicable Vietnamese standards. 5. Apply acceptable storage and disposal or recycling of all solid wastes generated by the labor camp and/or base camp. 6. provide medical and first aid facilities at each camp area Safety management During Construction The subproject shall be compliance with all national and local safety requirements and any other measures necessary to avoid accidents. Vehicular speed on each section of road will be under controlled. Safe sight distance will be established in both construction areas and construction camp sites. Signs will be placed around the construction areas to facilitate traffic movement, Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 65 provide directions to various components of the works and provide safety advice and warning.In school vicinity, traffic safety personnel shall be arranged to direct traffic during school hours; Maintain a supply for traffic signs (including paint, easel, sign material, etc.), road marking, and guard rails to maintain pedestrian safety during construction; Conduct safety training for construction workers prior to beginning work. Avoid damages to local infrastructure The subproject will hold responsible for any damage caused to local roads and bridges due to the transportation of excessive loads and shall be responsible for repair. Spoil Management The average existing ground elevaltion is +40,00m. Before disposal, the 0.3 m of top soil will be removed for resurfacing this site during site reinstatement. After that, the waste will be disposed off to height 5.5 m but will be reduced further to 5.0 m after levelling and compaction [should do compaction layer by layer during the entire construction period, not at the end to reach 0.5 m reduction in height. To that stage, the ground elevation on the top of the disposal site will be equivalent to existing ground level in the surrounding area. The total volume of spoil disposed of at the disposal site will be 5.5 x 10.000 = 55,000m3 [height should be calcalculated based on after compaction, less should be disposed of on this site and more on the borrow pit. The remaining excavated material will be 135,051 – 55,000 = 50,051m3 for disposal at the borrow pit, from which the volume of excavated soil would be: 113,767x 1.16-15263= 116,707m3. The land area of the borrow pit is 1ha. Diposal of the 55,051m3 will make the dump 0.8m high while the site would be excavated to 2m deep. Thus the borrow pit will be 1.2 m lower than the pre-construction groundlevel. Pest management related to termite treatment. Traning IPM for local people in project area Use of agricultural chemical when irrigation area is extended. Traning IPM for local people in extending irrigation area (the IPM guideline is provided in Appendix A.10) Sedimentation before refilling. Collecting waste in reservoir.

Construction Impact Management Plan In order to reduce the impact of the construction activities on local communities and the environment, the Construction Contractor shall implement the following Sub-Plans in accordance with the following stipulations: Erosion and Sedimentation In a mountainous region, such as the Trung Son area, the project must include measures to reduce or halt erosion and landslide problems. This might include the installation of erosion control structures, protective re-vegetation and reforestation, slope stabilization, etc. Site activities shall be carefully managed in order to avoid site erosion and sedimentation of downstream waterways. In order to minimize negative erosion impacts in the project area, the following activities shall be carried out by the Contractor: Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 113 1. Erosion and sedimentation shall be controlled during the construction. Areas of the site not disturbed by construction activities shall be maintained in their existing state. 2. Disturb as little ground area as possible; stabilize these areas as soon as possible, control drainage through the area, and trap sediment onsite. Install erosion control barriers around perimeter of cuts, disposal pits, and roadways. 3. Slope works and earth moving/excavation shall be conducted in order to minimize exposure of the soil surface both in terms of area and duration. Temporary soil erosion control and slope protection works shall be carried out in sequence to construction. 4. Conserve topsoil with its leaf litter and organic matter, and reapply this material to local disturbed areas to promote the growth of local native vegetation. 5. Apply local, native grass seed and mulch to barren erosive soil areas or closed construction surfaces. 6. Apply erosion control measures before the rainy season begins, preferably immediately following construction. Install erosion control measures as each construction site is completed. 7. In all construction sites, install sediment control structures where needed to slow or redirect runoff and trap sediment until vegetation is re-established. Sediment control structures include windrows of slash, rock berms, sediment catchments basins, straw bales, brush fences, and silt fences. 8. Control water flow through construction sites or disturbed areas with ditches, berms, check structures, live grass barriers, and rock. 9. The ground surface at the construction site offices shall be concreted or asphalted in order to minimize soil erosion. 10. Erosion control measures shall be maintained until vegetation is successfully re- established. 11. Water shall be sprayed as needed on dirt roads, cuts, fill material and stockpiled soil to reduce wind-induced erosion and dust, and 12. Larger changes in the landscape from quarries, tunnel spoil tips, etc. should be landscaped and replanted, both to reduce erosion problems and to reduce the visual impact of construction. Particulate Emissions and Dust The Contractor shall propose methods and actions to control dust resulting from construction related activities, including quarry sites, crushing and concrete batching plants, earthworks including road construction, embankment and channel construction, haulage of materials and construction work camps. In particular the Contractor shall undertake the following: 1. Minimize production of dust and particulate materials at all times, to avoid impacts on surrounding communities, and especially to vulnerable people (children, elderly people). 2. Use appropriate timing for removal of vegetation to prevent large areas from becoming exposed to wind. 3. Place screens around construction areas to minimize dust proliferation, paying particular attention to areas close to local communities. 4. Spray water as needed on dirt roads, cut areas and soil stockpiles or fill material. Spraying shall be carried out in dry and windy days, at least twice a day (morning and afternoon). The frequency of spraying near local communities shall be increased as needed. 5. Pave access roads with gravel in the sections which near the communities and other Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 114 sensitive receptors to reduce generation of air-borne dust. 6. Provide an adequate ventilation system and other measures to control concentration of air pollutants within tunnels. 7. Transportation of materials by vehicles and construction of access roads shall be properly designed. For example, the access road can be constructed and paved by concrete/asphalt, or laid with small graded rocks, prior to major earthworks which may require transportation of substantial amount of materials on-site and off-site. 8. Ensure adequate maintenance of all vehicles. Construction plant/vehicles that generate serious air pollution and those which are poorly maintained shall not be allowed on site. 9. Transport of chemicals or materials such as cement, sand and lime shall be covered entirely with clean impervious material to ensure that these materials shall be contained. Overflow of material shall be avoided; and 10. The exhaust gases from construction machinery and vehicles are accepted. However, the engines shall be inspected and adjusted as required to minimize pollution levels. Noise To minimize noise the Contractor shall: 1. Maintain all construction-related traffic on project access roads at established speed limits. 2. Maintain all on-site vehicle speeds at or below 30 kph, or otherwise designated. 3. To the extent possible, maintain noise levels associated with all machinery and equipment at or below 90 db. 4. In sensitive areas (including residential neighborhoods, hospitals, rest homes, schools, etc.) more strict noise abatement measures may need to be implemented to prevent undesirable noise levels. 5. Apply proper measures to minimize disruptions from vibration or noise coming from construction activities. 6. Design a transportation schedule for entry of construction materials to minimize the adverse impact on residents, as well as the traffic on the existing roads. The transportation vehicles shall be required to slow down and banned from using horns when passing sensitive areas. Transportation during peak hours should be minimized. . The Contractor shall provide the transportation route in advance to the Engineering Supervisor. 7. Maintain the construction equipment in its best operating conditions and lowest noise levels possible. 8. Use temporary noise barriers to minimize the noise caused by construction equipment 9. Provide hearing protection to workers who must work with highly noisy machines such as piling, explosion, mixing, etc., for noise control and workers protection. 10. Areas for the storage of fuel or lubricants fenced and have a compacted/impervious floor or other surface to prevent the escape of accidental spillage of fuel and/or lubricants from the site. Surface water drainage from fenced areas shall be discharged through an oil skimmer or other appropriate device to remove hydrocarbons. Empty fuel or oil drums may not be stored on site. Proper MSDS labeling shall be in place and training provided to workers handling these materials. 11. The construction supervision team shall be equipped with portable noise detection devices to monitor the noise level at the sensitive receptors. 12. Materials leaving the construction site shall be transported during non-peak hours in order to minimize traffic noise due to the increase in traffic volumes. 13. Use of properly designed silencers, mufflers, acoustically dampened panels and acoustic sheds or shields, etc. shall be made. Mufflers and other noise control devices shall be Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 115 repaired or replaced if defective. 14. Use of electric-powered equipment when applicable instead of diesel-powered or pneumatic-powered equipment. 15. Equipment known to emit strong noise intensity in one direction, shall when possible, be oriented to direct noise away from nearby sensitive receptors. 16. Machines and equipment that may be in intermittent use shall be shut down between work periods or throttled down to a minimum operation. Night time Construction Noise Mitigation Although in general, night time construction shall be banned near sensitive receptors, some construction may still occur for technical and other reasons (e.g., bridge piles required and continued around clock concrete pouring). Because night time construction, if occurring near local communities, will result in significant impacts to residents and other sensitive receptors, the following special measures shall be taken during the construction phase: 1. People living within potentially impacted areas shall be notified ahead of time of the length and noise intensity of the proposed night time construction. Residents shall be informed as to why night construction is necessary and they shall be provided with the mitigation measures that are going to be implemented to obtain their understanding. These residents shall be allowed to express their concerns, difficulties, and suggestions for noise control prior to the commencement of night time construction. These concerns shall be addressed and suggestions adopted where appropriate. 2. Concrete batching plants, generators and other stationary equipment shall be carefully placed as far away from local communities to reduce noise impacts from these machines. Where possible, municipal power supply shall be used for night time construction as diesel generators are extremely noisy and avoiding their use is the best mitigation possible. 3. Equipment with lower noise levels shall be used for concrete pouring operations, which may require 24 hour non-stop operation. 4. Temporary noise barriers shall be installed at the appropriate locations to avoid night time noise impacts, and 5. Notification boards shall be posted at all construction sites providing information about the project, as well as contact information about the site managers, environmental staff, telephone numbers and other contact information so that any affected people can have a channel to voice their concerns and suggestions. Blasting The contractor shall ensure that the following procedures are undertaken: 1. The contractor shall warn local communities and/or residents that could be disturbed by noise generating activities such as blasting well in advance and shall keep such activities to a minimum 2. In sensitive areas (including residential neighborhoods, hospitals, rest homes, schools, etc.) more strict measures may need to be implemented to prevent undesirable noise levels 3. Blasting shall not be carried out within 200 m of residences or local communities; 4. Blasting shall not be carried out under adverse weather conditions 5. Prior to a blasting event, water shall be sprayed on the surface of the blast area to increase its moisture content. Wire mesh gunny sacks and sandbags shall be used on top of the blast area at each shot to prevent flying rocks and dust Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 116 6. Before blasting is carried out, a detailed survey shall be conducted at nearby communities to evaluate the degree of impacts due to the blasting activity (e.g. possible damage to structures or infrastructure due to vibration, effects on animals, local residents, etc.) 7. No blasting shall be allowed during night time unless prior approval is obtained from the government authority and the PEO. 8. All persons shall be at least 200m away from the blasting point 9. Except for blasting equipment all electricity shall be turned off within 50m of the blasting location prior to and during the blast; and 10.

All earthworks shall be properly controlled, especially during the rainy season. 2. The Contractor shall maintain stable cut and fill slopes at all times and cause the least possible disturbance to areas outside the prescribed limits of the works. 3. The Contractor shall complete cut and fill operations to final cross-sections at any one location as soon as possible and preferably in one continuous operation to avoid partially completed earthworks, especially during the rainy season. 4. In order to protect any cut or fill slopes from erosion, in accordance with drawings, cut off drains and toe-drains shall be provided at the top and bottom of slopes and be planted with grass or other plant cover. Cut off drains should be provided above high cuts to minimize water runoff and slope erosion. 5. Any excavated cut or unsuitable material shall be disposed of in designated disposal areas as agreed to by the Supervisory Engineer, and 6. Disposal sites should not be located where they can cause future slides, interfere with agricultural land or any other properties, or cause runoff from the landfill towards any watercourse. Drains may need to be dug within and around the landfills, as directed by the Supervisory Engineer. Stockpiles and Borrow Pits The Contractor shall prepare and overall Stockpiles and Borrow Pits Management Plan for the total works. Operation of a new borrowing area, on land, in a river, or in an existing area, shall be subject to prior approval of the Environmental Supervisor, and the operation shall cease if so instructed by the Supervisory Engineer. Borrow pits shall be prohibited where they might interfere with the natural or designed drainage patterns. River locations shall be prohibited if they might undermine or damage riverbanks, or carry too much fine material downstream. The location of crushing plants shall be subject to the approval of the Supervisory Engineer, and not be adjacent to environmentally sensitive areas, or to existing residential settlements, and shall be operated with approved fitted dust control devices. Rock or gravel taken from a river shall be far enough removed to limit the depth of material removed to one-tenth of the width of the river at any one location, and not to disrupt the river flow, or damage or undermine the riverbanks. The Plan shall include: 1. A map showing the extent of the area to be developed. Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 117 2. A method statement defining the proposed working methods. 3. The proposed access and haulage routes between the borrow pits and the destination for the extracted materials. 4.

Details of the measures to be taken for the long-term rehabilitation of the borrow pit areas in order to avoid situations that could constitute a threat to health and safety and cause environmental degradation. In general terms, the Contractor shall: 1. Identify and demarcate locations for stockpiles and borrow pits, ensuring that they are 15 meters away from critical areas such as steep slopes, erosion-prone soils, and areas that drain directly into sensitive water bodies. 2. Limit extraction of material to approved and demarcated borrow pits. 3. Stockpile topsoil when first opening the borrow pit. After all usable borrow has been removed, the previously stockpiled topsoil should be spread back over the borrow area and graded to a smooth, uniform surface, and adequately sloped for drainage. On steep slopes, benches or terraces may have to be established to help control erosion. 4. Excess overburden should be stabilized and re-vegetated. Where appropriate, organic debris and overburden should be spread over the disturbed site to promote re-vegetation. Natural re-vegetation is preferred to the best extent practicable. 5. Existing drainage channels in areas affected by the operation should be kept free of overburden. 6. Once the job is completed, all construction -generated debris should be removed from the site to an approved disposal location. 7. The Contractor shall ensure that all borrow pits used are left in an appropriate condition with stable side slopes, re-establishment of vegetation, restoration of natural water courses, avoidance of flooding of the excavated areas wherever possible so no stagnant water bodies are created which could breed mosquitoes, and 8. When the borrow pits or the local depressions created by the construction activities cannot be refilled or reasonably drained, the Contractor shall consult with the local community to determine their preference for reuse such as fish farming or other community purposes. Disposal of Construction Waste The Contractor shall carry out the following activities: 1. Establish and enforce daily site clean-up procedures, including maintenance of adequate disposal facilities for construction debris. 2. Debris generated due to the dismantling of the existing structures shall be suitably reused, to the best extent feasible (e.g. as fill materials for embankments). The disposal of remaining debris shall be carried out only at sites identified and approved by the Supervisory Engineer. The Contractor should ensure that these sites (a) are not located within designated forest areas; (b) do not impact natural drainage courses; and (c) do not impact endangered/rare flora. Under no circumstances shall the Contractor dispose of any material in environmentally sensitive areas. 3. In the event any debris or silt from the sites is deposited on adjacent land, the Contractor shall immediately remove such, debris or silt and restore the affected area to its original Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 118 state to the satisfaction of Supervisory Engineer. 4. All arrangements for transportation during construction including provision, maintenance, dismantling and clearing debris, where necessary, will be considered incidental to the work and should be planned and implemented by the contractor as approved and directed by the Supervisory Engineer. 5. Consult with local communities, if any, living close to spoil disposal sites that may be affected. The consultation shall provide local stakeholders with detailed information of the potential spoil disposal site, and provide an opportunity for them to express their opinions and concerns with the proposed plans. Information and feedback from the consultation process shall be incorporated into the final design for each spoil disposal site. 6. Include provisions for incorporating the most appropriate stabilization techniques for each disposal site. 7. Assess risk of any potential impact regarding leaching of spoil material on surface water. 8. Include an appropriate analysis to determine that the selected spoil disposal sites do not cause unwanted surface drainage, and 9. Stabilize spoil disposal sites to avoid erosion in accordance with the requirements of the Landscape and Re-vegetation Plan. Demolition of Existing Infrastructure 1. The Contractor shall implement adequate measures during demolition of existing infrastructure to protect workers and public from falling debris and flying objects. Among these measures, the Contractor shall: 2. Set aside a designated and restricted waste drop or discharge zones, and/or a chute for safe movement of wastes from upper to lower levels. 3. Conduct sawing, cutting, grinding, sanding, chipping with proper guards and anchoring as applicable. 4. Maintain clear traffic ways to avoid driving of heavy equipment over loose scrap. 5. Use of temporary fall protection measures in scaffolds and out edges of elevated work surfaces, such as hand rails and toe boards to prevent materials from being dislodged. 6. Evacuate all work areas during blasting operations, and use blast mats or other means of deflection to minimize fly rock or ejection of demolition debris if work is conducted in proximity to people or structures. 7. Provide all workers with safety glasses with side shields, face shields, hard hats, and safety shoes. Other Management Plans The contractor shall be responsible for preparing the following management plans in accordance with the stipulated terms of reference: Waste Management Plan During the construction stage, the Contractor shall prepare a Waste Management Plan before commencement of project works. The Plan shall include: Water and Wastewater 1. A review of the preliminary site drainage design prepared during the detailed design. 2.

AppendixA.10 Integrated Pest Management Guidelines 1. General The project is not intended to purchase or promote the use of fertilizers or pesticides. However, rehabilitation of dam is expected to increase the agricultural command areas. There is possibility that as indirect or induced impact of the project, use of fertilizers or pesticides may be increased in the project area. As a ‘good practice’, the project will promote the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in the project area. 2. Objectives Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 131 a, General objectives Strengthening flora protection at local level, reducing pesticide use in the field, improving the efficiency of prevention, managing well pesticide and pesticide use process to reduce the risk of contamination pesticides on the environment and affect human health. b, Specific objectives • Support of the relevant agencies in project provinces in strengthening pest management and pesticide management in accordance with the national action plan on food hygiene and safety, food security, adaptation to climate change and the concerned international conventions that the Government has approved. • Strengthening environmental protection, food safety through strengthening the role of predators; reduce pesticide residues to ensure food hygiene and safety, reduce environmental pollution (water, land, air). • Improving farmers' knowledge: distinguish the major pests, secondary; identify predators and their role in the field, clearly understand the effect of two colors of pesticides, property use, know how to survey pest and use threshold control; understand and apply pest control measures in IPM to increase income for farmers. 3. Basic principles of IPM framework The following principles will be applied to the sub-projects: "Prohibited list": The project will not finance the purchase of fertilizers or pesticides. a. IPM program and project support: support and implementation of IPM program is part of the ESMP for the sub-project. Support project will include technical assistance (consulting) to perform the non-chemical options, and priority support for agricultural extension services, including additional operating costs. The bank support fee for integrated prevention program of the sub-project and will be required or approved an independent program or as a part of ESMP. A proposed budget has been allocated for the implementation of IPM programs for the downstream areas of the project area. Detailed planning work will be completed through consultation close to farmers, local authority/community organization. b. The project will apply IPM programs as a method to minimize the potential negative impact of the increased use of fertilizers and chemicals. However, the improvement of knowledge and experience in the use of fertilizers and chemicals are through research surveys and training courses in the work as well as selecting safe use of non- chemicals, other techniques, is being investigated and/or applied in Vietnam. National IPM Program has also summarized the results of the implementation and the lessons of experience. The project will apply National IPM program results and detailed technical guidance. c. IPM Program subproject can be set up to support the implementation of the Government's policy and objectives focusing on reducing the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. d. In normal conditions, if pesticide use is considered to be a necessary option, only pesticides registered with the government and the international recognition in use and project will also provide technical and economic information for chemicals use demand. It should consider the options in the management of not harmful chemicals and can also reduce reliance on the use of pesticides. The measures will be Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 132 incorporated into the project design to reduce risks related to the handling and use of pesticides to allowed possible level and managed by users. e. The planning and implementation of mitigation measures and other activities will be carried out closely with the authorities, powers and stakeholders, including suppliers of chemicals, to facilitate cooperation and understanding each other. 4. The approach of IPM Focus more on the risks of abuse and excessive use chemical of plant protection products. The concerned plant are rice, vegetables, tea etc. these plants tend to be sprayed more of pesticides. Focus on community education, the initial survey will be incorporated into the task with the aim of clarifying the root cause of the abuse and excessive use of plant protection products and the associated risks. Support the capacity building of the instructor (trainer) IPM. The current program will need to be reviewed and new modules will be supplemented to increase the portion related to reducing the risk of plant protection products. The training program will be enriched with the integration of many activities such as System Rice Intensification (System Rice Intensification - SRI), minimum tillage (minimum tillage), production community and use of bio-products replacing plant protection chemicals the training activities, the application will be made in the wide area application of the model. To perform this content, the following steps will be promoted in subproject triggering IPM: - Step 0: Hiring consultant: IPM consultant will be hired to assist PMU/PPMU in implementing IPM programs including ensurring results and cooperation among the agencies, farmers, and other stakeholders. The task for the consultant will be implemented at an early stage of project implementation. - Step 1: Set up the basic requirements of the register the program of farmers. This step should be implemented as soon as possible with appropriate questionnaire to establish base in 2013 for the use of fertilizers and of pesticides in the project area. Consultation with key agencies in the conduct of training, registration of participating farmers. - Step 2: Set program goals and prepare a work plan. Based on the results from the questionnaire and consultation at Step 1, work plan and schedule will be prepared, including budgeting and implementation object. The work plan will be submitted to the PMU and approved by the World Bank for review and comment. - Step 3: Implementation and annual review. After approval of the work plan, the activities will be implemented. Implementation progress will be included in the project progress reports. An annual evaluation report will be implemented by PMU with assistance of PPMU. - Step 4: Evaluate the impact. An independent consultant will be hired to carry out the impact assessment. This is to assess the performance of the project and to provide lessons. PMU will hire a national consultant to perform impact assessment of IPM the program 5. Relevant Measure at the sub-projects IPM measures will apply on specific crops in regions and localities implement the project through the following measures: - Cultivation methods: Soil, field sanitation, crop rotation, intercropping, crop seasons, reasonable sowing and planting density, rational use of fertilizers; appropriate caring measures.

Funds for implementation of IPM program The relevant subproject ESMP budget will have provision for IPM promotion including awareness, training, pilot demonstration and evaluation Additional Guidelines on IPM Norms of Fertilizers for Some Major Crops 1. Norms of Fertilizer a. For direct sowing rice: o The amount of fertilizer is 1ha (8-10 tons) of manure, 250 kg Urea, 500 kg superphosphate, K chloride 150kg. o Whole basal fertilizing of manure, phosphate + 20% urea + 30% K. o Additional fertilizing tillering 60-70% urea + 20% K. Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 135 o Note: The spring crop only put down fertilizer when the weather is not too cold and nitrogen fertilizer limited when rice is in ear to avoid fall in the end of the crop pests. b. For transplanted rice Amount of the fertilizer for 1 acres: 4-5 kg decomposed manure, urea nitrogen 8-12 kg 6-12 kg K chloride, Lam Thao superphosphate 15-25 kg. Specific fertilizer depending on the frame with rice, soil properties: o High-yielding hybrid rice varieties grown on sandy soils, silver colored, fertilize with manure maximum. o Domesticated rice varieties, nutrient-rich soil fertilizer with a minimum quantity. o Sandy soil, silver colored, with mineral fertilizer ratio 1 N: 1 K2O: 1 P2O5 (1 protein: 1 K: 1 time per pure fertilizer concentration). Boggy land, wetlands regularly, typically acidic, rich in protein, lack of time, lack of potassium fertilizer lime powder before transplanting 7-10 days and reduced nitrogen fertilizers, increasing phosphorus, K, etc. o Recommendation on manufacturing: For initiative water soil, the total amount of fertilizer deeply lined manure, 30-40% protein + phosphate, K before transplanting harrow. None initiative water land is not nitrogen fertilizer liner to prevent cold rice death. o The 1st additional fertilizing when rice plants have taken root in green (15-20 days after transplanting). Apply 50-80% protein 20-40% + K, water levels flooded 5cm. o Additional fertilizing Series 2: When the rice stand, about 1-4 to 10-4 every year, 10% nitrogen fertilizer notes and other potassium. Nitrogen pay attention to the color of the leaf, if the leaf is dark green, do not apply nitrogen fertilizer to increase the amount of K, so until flowering rice, the leaves are green ginger is good, keep humidity saturated soil (soft land, subsidence feet). o In addition to ensuring high yield and stability need to better control some pests and diseases of rice such as BPH, stem borer, sheath blight, blast, etc. Note: only rice cultivation and nitrogen fertilizer when the outdoor temperature is greater than 150C. c.Hybrid maize crops: o The amount of seed for 1 ha: 15 kg o Organic manure: lowland areas reach at least 4-5 tons, and highland areas 3-4 tons or more. o Urea 300 kg o Phosphate 400 - 500 kg o Potassium fertilizer 150 kg d.

Integrated Pest Management for Rice Crops Definition, basic principles of integrated pest management 1.1. What is Integrated Pest Management (IPM)? According to the expert group of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), "Integrated Pest Management" is a pest management system that in the specific the context of the environment and the population dynamics of the species causing damage, using all the techniques and appropriate measures can be, in order to maintain the density of the pest below cause economic damage. Abbreviation Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 137 Thus, IPM stands for Integrated Pest Management 1.2. Five basic principles of integrated pest management (IPM) (i). Planting and health care of crops: o Choose good seed, suitable for local conditions. o Choose healthy and qualified crops. o Planting, cared for properly techniques to grow good crops which are resistant and high yielding. (ii) Check fields regularly, understand the progress of the growth and development of plants, pests, weather, land, water to take timely remedial measures. (iii) Farmers become experts field: Farmers' technical knowledge, management skills need to advocacy field for many other farmers. (iv) Pest prevention o Using appropriate preventive measures, depending on the severity of disease, parasitic natural enemies in each stage. o Using of chemical drugs has reasonable and proper technique. (v) Protect natural enemies: Protecting the beneficial organisms to help farmers kill pests. 2. Contents of integrated pest management 2.1. Farming methods (i) Early land preparation and field sanitation o Land preparation and field sanitation soon after planting to kill many caterpillars and pupae live in the rice stem borer and rice stubble, loss of shelter and food source of the brown planthopper, green hoppers... Brokers are the transmission of viral diseases for o rice as dangerous illness blighted gold, rice ragged stunt disease. o Principles of impact of field sanitation measures and handling crop residues after harvest is cut off the ring cycle of pests from the crop to other crops and pests limited source accumulation, transmission spread at beginning of the crop. (ii) Crop rotation: Rice rotation with other crops to avoid pathogen accumulation in rice from the crop to other crop. (iii) Appropriate Planting Planting rice to ensure appropriate growth and good development, achieve high productivity, avoids the risk of the weather. The determination of appropriate the crop having to rely on the characteristics of the damage incurred pests important to ensure that rice avoiding peak of the epidemic. (iv) Use healthy seeds, pest resistant and short seeds o Healthy seeds, free disease helps to rice facilitate development. Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 138 o Using resistant rice seeds reduce drug use chemical pest control, reduce pollution, protect natural enemies; keep balance agricultural ecosystems. o Rice seed with short growth period of about 100-110 days, plant earlier in the season could have been avoided borer, deep bite panicle. Rice seed with extremely short growing period is 80-90 days brown planthopper prevention measures effective for brown plant hopper could not accumulate in sufficient quantities to cause severe damage in extremely short day breeds. (v) Cultivation density is reasonable o The density and sowing techniques, depending on the rice seeds transplanting, crop, soil and nutrition, aged rice, rice quality, process agricultural intensification. o The density is too thick or too little will affect productivity, while also affecting the generation and development of pests, weeds. o The rice fields are often sown too thick closed up early, causing high humidity, creating conditions for sheath blight and brown plant hopper damage incurred at the end of the crop. (vi) Using reasonable fertilizers Fertilization excessive or unreasonable fertilizer will make plants grow normally and not prone to pest infestation. Rice fields fertilization are more susceptible to infectious diseases rice blast, sheath blight, leaf blight. 2.2. Manual methods Light traps catch butterflies, break eggs, rub stripping foil fencing using leaf spray, dig down to catch mice. 2.3. Biological methods (i) Creating a favorable environment for beneficial organisms are natural enemies of pest development to contribute to kill pests: o Protection of natural enemies to avoid toxic chemicals by using selective medication drugs, narrow-spectrum drugs, drugs used when absolutely necessary and should be based on economic thresholds... o Create habitat for natural enemies after planting by intercropping, planting legumes on bunds, disintegrator for lurking natural enemies... o Application of cultivation techniques facilitate reasonable development natural enemies. (ii) Priority use drugs Biological Plant Protection The medicines is effective only biological pest control, non-toxic to beneficial organisms, safe to human health and the environment Termite Treatment Procedures Name of chemical to be used: Metavina 10DP. This product can kill termite via directly exposure or infection.

Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 162 Appendix B6: Information disclosure, accountability and monitoring 1. Consultation and announcement The main objectives of information announcement and public consultation is to ensure the participation of affected communities, households, local governments and organizations concerned in sharing the Project information, consulting the selection of technical plans, planning impacts on land, income and assets on land... The announcement is an important contribution in accerlerating the Project progress during implementation and preparation, as well as when the project is put into operation with the consensus of the community, government, and PMU. This will minimize the possibility of conflicts and other risks and increase the investment efficiency and social significance of the Project. The public consultation and announcement should ensure: - The local authorities as well as the representatives of the people affected shall be involved in the project planning and decision making process. The PMU shall work closely with the commune/district during the implementation of the Project. The involvement of the people affected in the implementation process shall be remained by asking the commune/district to invite the representatives of the affected people to be a part of the Council on Compensation and Resettlement as well as in resettlement activities. - All information about the items and activities planned for the Project should be shared to the people affected. - The demands and priorities of the affected people, as well as their responses to the proposed policies and activities, should be collected. - The affected people should be fully informed of the decisions influencing directly their income and lives, and can be involved in activities and making decisions on issues directly affecting them. - The transparency in all activities relating to land acquisition, compensation, resettlement and rehabilitation should be ensured. For the World Bank, those people affected by the project should be fully informed and consulted on resettlement and compensation plans. Consultation is the starting point for all activities related to resettlement. The people affected by resettlement may be afraid that their livelihoods and community relations can be affected, or their rights can not be guaranteed. Being involved in resettlement planning and management helps to alleviate these fears and bring the affected people the opportunity to participate in decisions that affect their lives. The implementation of resettlement without consultation may lead to an inappropriate strategy and ultimate ineffectiveness. Without consultation, the affected people may have negative reactions to the project, causing social problems, significant delay or even cancellation in completion of goals, thereby increasing the costs. As a result, with consultation, the initial resistance can be translated into the constructive participation. For Vietnam, a further key step in strengthening democracy at grass-roots level is the Directive No.30-CT/TW of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam in "Building and implementing regulations on grassroots democracy" and the Decree No.79/2003/ND-CP also on this issue. The key point of this legislation is the famous slogan, which is "People know, people discuss, people do and people inspect." The Ordinance No.34/2007/PL-UBTVQH11 has addressed the matters that should be consulted by local governments and communities before decision-making by the authorities, including building compensation and resettlement plans relating to the project and works in the commune/ward. The Clause 2 in Article 39 of the Law on Land 2003 requires the announcement of resettlement issues such as reasons, land acquisition plans, relocation plans, overall compensation plans, and land clearance to the people affected. Thus, consultation and participation is an innovation in the implementation of projects in Vietnam. This policy will address the shortcomings in the implementation of the projects, as Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 163 both the locals and the person in charge of project implementation are inexperienced in this field. The following points should be noted to encourage the participation of stakeholders in the consultation process of the project: - Identify and attract all stakeholders, especially people living in the project area and those affected (men, women, the poor, ethnic minorities...), in the process of consultation and participation; - Develop participatory strategies for Project planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation. - Develop the topics and content needed for promotion and popularization campaigns, as well as negotiation procedures for the affected people on their benefits. - Attract stakeholders in decision making at all stages of the project (e.g. design plans, compensation methods, implementation schedule, etc...). - Establish a schedule for completion of activities such as campaigns to provide information, the extents and forms of compensation, benefits, location and relocation plan. - Develop procedures for complaint settlement. The public consultation should be regularly carried out for the units in charge of preparation and detailed design of the project categories. This helps to ensure the participation of communities in the proposed designs and limit the adverse impacts on the community. This also helps works to be friendlier with the community and users. The consultation should also be performed with related parties, including the units to be in charge of management and operation of works to ensure that they are consulted and commented on the designs. During the construction stage, the Project owner should announce promotion in mass media regarding construction activities and expected schedule, measures to support the people affected and the procedure for receipt of feedbacks from the community. The affected persons shall be informed of the Project policies and procedures to ensure no many changes in their future lives. In case of any questions about the Project, they can inform and obtain the support from the PMU. The content and method of public consultation/announcement is as follows: Method of public Person Items Period consultation/announcement in charge Meeting with the • Detailed design government of the ward/commune Survey the drawings: and relevant units; the and design Consultant, Alignment representatives of the affected stages PMU alternatives households.

Social accountability The announcement of the proposed plans of the Project to the affected people and stakeholders during community consultation and field survey by the social assessment consultants is to make a paradigm for continuing public information during the project implementation. Moreover, as required at all public meetings, the affected always wish for meetings to regularly exchange information with PMU at the headquarters of CPC where the community will suffer from impacts during project implementation. Therefore, reports on resettlement plans and environmental management plans should reflect the responsibility of PMU in ensuring the regular announcement of information to the public. In addition to regular meetings between the PMU and the affected communities in CPC offices, the public meetings in all communes where public consultation has been conducted have identified the need to establish the tight connection for easy and quick contact with the PMU. The best way is to provide the phone number and address of the PMU in charge in all locations of the Project’s items and the headquarters of all the communes of the entire Project’s components. 3. Participatory supervision In order for the project components to ensure its effecicney and necessasity, it is neccessary to have a monitoring plan with the participation of stakeholders such as the Department of Natural Resources and Environment, Department of Construction, Department of Planning and Investment, Department of Transport ... After completion, the direct management and operation agency/unit of the project items should be involved in the design and construction proceses. Together with the independent monitoring unit of the project, there should have a community- level supervision division to monitor project activities, especially activities related to resettlement, sanitation and the construction of various items. The supervision division will include representatives of local authorities, representatives of organizations such as the Women's Union, Fatherland Front, Veterans, Association, representatives of local people... This The supervision division in collaboration with independent monitoring unit of the Project will monitor the project activities based on indicators of social safety. Indicators of rehabilitation, production, environmental sanitation, traffic will be built to serve the monitoring plan of the Project. The grasping reality will help community supervision division report information related to the project progress, problems arisen during the project implementation to the PMU Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 165 for promptly actions. The responsibility of this division is to collect feedback from the people and competent authorities as well as from the PMU. At the same time, people are also involved in the supervision, safety guarantee and sanitation in the construction phase. The Community supervision division should be involved in the training plan on strengthening monitoring and evaluation of project activities, training on monitoring activity skills as a part of the participatory monitoring plan of the Project. It is noted that the Resolution 80/CP on community supervision for construction works in localities should be applied. Sub-Project: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Da Teh Reservoir 166
