Each work item of the subcomponent will be constructed in 1-12 months (from 7/2017 - 7/2018). Environmental and social baselines Environmental baseline data measured at 13 subproject locations showed that air environmental quality in the area is good in accordance with the the QCVN 05:2013/BTNMT and the QCVN 06: 2010/BTNMT. Quality of existing water surface is still good in line with QCVN 08 - MT:2015/ BTNMT. The underground water is within the permissible level of the QCVN 09-MT: 2015/ BTNTM, however, coliform is over the allowable level. The content of heavy materials such as Cu, Pb, As are within the allowable level of the Standard of Vietnam (QCVN 03- MT:2015/BTNMT). So, the environmental quality in the subproject area has not shown any signs of pollution to environmental component, the monitoring parameters are within the allowable standards. About current status of works: (1) Ba river embankment: Eroded banks with 30m deep into mainland, affecting 02 ha land, Eroded banks with 30m deep into mainland, affecting 02 ha land; (2) Da stream embankment: Da stream bed, section is from Dong Ngang dam to Quan Cau bridge is about 2,000m is sendimented; (3) Ky Lo river embankment: Southern bank of Ky Lo river, segment of 2,346m long. Eroded banks, frequently intruded, the flow encroaches deeply into mainland, garden. The existing transport road, district road 38, the bank is eroded; (4,5,6) Irrigation dams No. 1,2,3: Dam no. 01 and dam no.03 is swept away by flood flow and Dam no. 02 (called other name is Dong Ngang dam), dam body remains good; reinforce damaged downstream section. (7) An Hiep – An Linh road: A section 1,000m was severely eroded. Specific, at Quanh slope, flood rain washed away one road section 15m length with over 10m depth; (8) Provincial road.642: Existing roadbase: 5-6 m, some asphalted section with 3.5 m width, remaining section is earth road. Road across NH1 was severely damaged; (9) provincial road 643: Talus slope scattered on the road was eroded; more than 1m of rough road destroying nearly entire cement concrete road surface with a length of 100m and ditch with a length of 300m; (10) Provincial road 650: Talus slope was landslide, some sections were subsidence with a 100m road, and distance from subsidence section to elevation of existing road surface is about 2m. (11) Road to Xuan Binh reservoir: current status is earth road with average width of 4 to 6m. (12,13) Suoi Tre and Cay Sung bridges: on the provincial road.642: Section through bridge was degraded, failing to meet the circulation capacity in terms of both dimension and load. Most of the subproject sites are far from residential areas and in sparsely populated or unpopulated areas, distance to the nearest residential site 1 - 3km except for Ba river embankment, section across Phong Nien hamlet, about 50 - 200m away. Some sensitive 2 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) Vietnam Emergency Natural Disaster Reconstruction Project – Phu Yen province areas/receptors include: Some sections across production forest on Provincial road 650 and Road to Xuan Binh reservoir. This area is assigned to local people plant acacia and eucalyptus trees along 02 road sides with 1-2 years old. Environmental and social impacts Potential negative impacts are identified and screened at each subproject component from the preparation, construction to operation phase and categorized by the nature of the construction works. Most of the negative impacts are temporal, localized and reversible due to the medium sized construction works. The impacts can be mitigated by applying appropriate technologies and site-specific mitigation measures together with close supervision by the contractor and consultation with local community. Common impacts: dust, air emission, noise, vibration, wastewater and solid wastes are generated construction and worker’s activities. These are considered from low to moderate for each works and can be mitigated. Site-specific impacts Specific impacts on construction phase: (1) Changes of the flow and terrain, causing erosion and sedimentation, embankment construction area: Excavation and backfilling, bulldozing and leveling the site for embankment of Ba river, Da stream and Ky Lo river has high risk of changing flow, terrain, erosion and sedimentation and impacts on local people near construction area of Ba river, Da stream, Ky Lo river embankments and surrounding environment. The impacts are low and controllable if appropriate construction methods are applied. (2) Illegal exploitation of natural resources in embankment construction area: Construction of embankment for Ba river, Da stream, and Ky Lo river is the reason leading illegal natural resources exploitation by individuals and organizations. The permission of on-spot sand exploitation for the construction may lead to overexploitation of some contractors and participating units and that they take advantages of taking sand from river bed for selling. These impacts are medium but controllable by appropriate measures. (3) Falling into river, drowning at drainage culvert in the process of embankment construction, particularly, in hot days of May and June. (4) Impacts from the flood flow in case construction of irrigation dam: It has risk of impacting on lives safety and property of workers, quality of construction works, and local people. (5) Impacts on local ecosystem in case construction of embankment, bridge: Piling activities can drop stones and soil into stream or cause fuel leaking, leading to impacts on aquatic ecosystem along the bridge and surrounding area. (6) Impacts on production and domestic activities of local people in case construction of road: The construction affect cash crops along PR 642, domestic and production activities of households along access road to Xuan Binh lake and along the provincial road 643, 650. (7) Social disturbances in case construction of embankment, roads: Large number concentration of male workers for construction can cause social disturbances, affecting local women during the construction period. Impacts on sensitive receptors: The construction of the different items of subproject will likely impact some sensitive receptors located in close proximity to the construction sites (2/13 work items), including (i) provincial road.650; (ii) access road to Xuan Binh reservoir. The impact level is assessed to be from low to medium, temporary and possibly minimized. Specific Impacts on operational phase: (1) Falling into rivers, stream and drowning on embankment: These cases are warned in the up and down steps to the walking paths under the embankment or at drainage culverts along the embankment. (2) Road Safety during the operation of 3 embankments, 5 roads: improving knowledge of local people on road use regulations and practices as well as monitoring and enforcement of driver speed and behavior. . (3) Induced development: however improving people knowledge on socio-economic development opportunity and risks related to social issues . 3 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) Vietnam Emergency Natural Disaster Reconstruction Project – Phu Yen province Risks and Incidents During constructrion phase: (1) Workers health and safety risks on communitity health and safety on construction sites are minor and can be mitigated by suitable solution such as training on occupational safety before and during the construction process as well as provision of sufficient protective equipment for workers. (2) Traffic accidents. overloading, over-speed transportation, weather events and geographical conditions, etc. Accidents can be self-inflicted or crashed with other means of transport. (3) Land and stone landslide incidents: because of soft newly excavated road base, incompleted reinforcement, subsidence and landslide of land can be occurred, especially in case weather events such as storms, storm. (4) Leaking of materials and explosives: The leakage of fuel often occurs during the construction process, easily lead to major risks causing fire and explosion of vehicles and machinery. Damage can be listed as loss of life, injury, damage to property and the surrounding environment. (5) Impacts by flood flow: impacts affect on-going works, local residents at construction sites; It causes huge impacts on assets and safety of staffs, workers at the site of construction of irrigation dams, and leading to environmental pollution, sedimentation and local erosion. During operational phase: (1) Natural disasters, storm wind, flooding and (2) Erosion, subsidence of work, blocking of the water flow. The impacts of this phase are low. Mitigation measures On the basis of assessment of adverse environmental impacts and risks, environmental incidents besides the process of considering the elements & the existing natural, socio- economic and environmental conditions to offer measures to minimize adverse impacts, prevent and respond to environmental problems. The mitigation measures are given specifically for each impact source mentioned above in each phase of the subproject including generic impact mitigation measures (ECOPs), site-specific mitigation measures and impact mitigation measures on sensitive receptors, as well as social impact mitigation measures. Specific mitigation measures during the construction phase for Phu Yen province subproject components including (i) Change flow and change terrain causing erosion, sedimentation for embankment such as Prepare construction options and measures in accordance with the detailed design submitted to the Client for approval; Arrange the construction work management, Study the design of road linking the embankment top to local road, drainage culverts… (ii) Illegal exploitation of natural resources at embankment construction sites: Prohibit the over-exploitation of sand and self-interest services for other subprojects, Arrange land fund storage.

The World Bank (WB) safeguard policies (1) Project level The following World Bank safeguard policies have been triggered: (a) Environmental Assessment (OP 4.01); (b) Natural Habitats (OP/BP 4.04); (c) Pest Management (OP 4.09); (d) Physical Cultural Resources (OP/BP 4.11); (e) Involuntary Resettlement (OP/BP 4.12); and (f) Indigenous Peoples (OP/BP 4.10). The project has been classified as Environmental Category B, subproject due to most of the potential impacts and risks are expected to be at moderate level, site-specific and reversible which can be mitigated with readily known measures. In addition, the Bank’s requirements on public consultation and information disclosure will also be followed. (2) Subproject level Environmental Assessment (OP/BP 4.01)2 Environmental Assessment (EA) is an umbrella policy for the Bank’s safeguard policies. The overarching objective is to ensure that Bank-financed subprojects are environmentally sound and sustainable, and that decision-making is improved through appropriate analysis of actions and of their likely environmental impacts. The EA process is intended to identify, avoid and mitigate potential impacts of Bank operations. EA takes into account the natural environment (air, water, and land); human health and safety; social aspects (involuntary resettlement, indigenous peoples, and physical cultural resources); and transboundary and global environmental aspects. EA considers natural and social aspects in an integrated way. In the first 18 months, Phu Yen subproject will upgrade, rehabilitate or newly construct 3 embankment sections for Ba river, Ky Lo river and Da stream; Repairing, rehabilitation of 3 irrigation dams no. 1,2,3 on Da stream, and repairing and rehabilitation of 05 roads (An Hiep – An Linh road, the provincial roads. 643, 650, 642 and the operation and management road of Xuan Binh reservoir, rehabilitation of 2 bridges (Suoi Tre and Cay Sung bridges). 2 The full treatment of OP/BP 4.01 can be found at http://web.worldbank.org/WBSITE/EXTERNAL/PROJECTS/EXTPOLICIES/EXTSAFEPOL/0,,contentMDK:205 43912~menuPK:1286357~pagePK:64168445~piPK:64168309~theSitePK:584435,00.html 12 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) Vietnam Emergency Natural Disaster Reconstruction Project – Phu Yen province Implementation of the project will generate potential negative impacts on environment and living condition of people around the project area, especially during the construction. According to OP 4.01 policy, Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) covering these works wre prepared. The official draft of ESMP of the subproject will be disclosed at People’s committee of subproject communes and Phu Yen PPMU in June 2017. The main contents of the ESMP include a summary of the impacts of the subproject, the mitigation measures, monitoring and implementation arrangements during the construction and operation stages of the subproject. The ESMP also specify the role of the relevant stakeholders, reporting procedures, capacity building, and implementation and budget. Relevant parts of the ESMP shall be included into the subproject bidding and contractual documents for implementation and supervision. Physical Cultural Resources (PCR, OP/BP 4.11) Subproject sites have been screened for PCR. As the subproject involves certain quantity of earth works, the ESMP included ECOPs which covers a chance find procedure to address issues related to PCRs encountered during construction. Natural Habitats (OP/BP 4.04)3 This policy is intended to prohibit the Bank-financed subprojects that cause significant degradation or conversion of critical natural habitats. The Bank does not support subprojects involving the significant conversion of natural habitats unless there are no feasible alternatives for the subproject and its siting, and comprehensive analysis demonstrates that overall benefits from the subproject substantially outweigh the environmental costs. If the environmental assessment indicates that the subproject would significantly convert or degrade natural habitats, the subproject includes mitigation measures acceptable to the Bank. The subproject interventions are not located near or within any critical natural habitats and mainly involve rehabilitation and reconstruction activities on the existing infrastructures. Therefore, it will neither affect any protected areas nor rare and endangered flora or fauna species or high biodiversity areas. However, pollution risks related to removal and disposal of substantial quantities of non-hazardous construction materials associated with the destroyed structures (embankment protection devices, bridges) consisting of concrete, scrap metal, stone, sand from irrigation canals and small streams for rehabilitation and reconstruction works could affect natural habitats such as rivers or streams. Therefore, this policy is triggered. Impacts on natural habitats and associated mitigations measures will be addressed in the relevant subproject ESMPs. The Indigenous Peoples policy (OP/BP 4.10)4 The Indigenous Peoples policy is designed to ensure that the development process fully respects the dignity, human rights, economies and cultures of Indigenous Peoples. The policy requires subprojects to identify impacts on indigenous peoples and develop a plan to address the impacts, both positive and adverse. Subprojects should be designed with benefits that reflect the cultural preferences of indigenous peoples. The borrower should carry out free, prior, and informed consultation and obtain broad community support for the subproject. 3 Full description of OP/BP 4.04 is available at http://web.worldbank.org/WBSITE/EXTERNAL/PROJECTS/EXTPOLICIES/EXTSAFEPOL/0,,contentMDK:205 43920~menuPK:1286576~pagePK:64168445~piPK:64168309~theSitePK:584435,00.html 4 Full treatment of OP/BP 4.10 can be consulted at http://web.worldbank.org/WBSITE/EXTERNAL/PROJECTS/EXTPOLICIES/EXTSAFEPOL/0,,contentMDK:205 43990~menuPK:1286666~pagePK:64168445~piPK:64168309~theSitePK:584435,00.html 13 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) Vietnam Emergency Natural Disaster Reconstruction Project – Phu Yen province An initial screening conducted by the Bank specialist has confirmed that there are ethnic minority communities as per the Bank OP 4.10 definition, to be affected by and benefited from the subproject hence the World Bank policy on Indigenous Peoples OP/BP 4.10 will be triggered. There are 46 ethnic minority households affected in Quang Ngai subproject and the EM households are mainly Co and H’De Peoples. So that, an Ethnic Minority Development Plans (EMDP) will be prepared to identify ethnic minorities and potential subproject impacts on them in the subproject area. Involuntary Resettlement (OP/BP 4.12)5 OP 4.12 seeks to prevent severe long-term hardship, impoverishment, and environmental damage to the affected peoples during involuntary resettlement. It applies whether or not affected persons must move to another location. The Bank describes all these processes and outcomes as “involuntary resettlement,” or simply resettlement, even when people are not forced to move. Resettlement is involuntary when the government has the right to expropriate land or other assets and when affected people do not have the option to retain the livelihood situation that they have. Implementation of construction works of Quang Ngai province subproject in the first 18 months will affect 384 households, of which 323 households will be directly affected by land acquisition and 61 households will be indirectly affected in term of cultivation production under People’s committee of wards/communes, with total affected land of 96,371 m2. There is no households to be displaced. The subproject RAP is prepared and submitted to the Bank for approval. The respective Provincial People’s Committee (PPC) will then approve the RAPs and all compensation, assistance and resettlement activities should be completed prior to civil works commencement. World Bank Group Environmental, Health, and Safety Guidelines6 World Bank-financed subprojects should also take into account the World Bank Group Environmental, Health, and Safety Guidelines (known as the "EHS Guidelines"). The EHS Guidelines are technical reference documents with general and industry-specific examples of Good International Industry Practice. The EHS Guidelines contain the performance levels and measures that are normally acceptable to the World Bank Group and are generally considered to be achievable in new facilities at reasonable costs by existing technology. The environmental assessment process may recommend alternative (higher or lower) levels or measures, which, if acceptable to the World Bank, become subproject- or site-specific requirements. This subproject should conform to these Guidelines. 2.

Due to small to moderate construction scales and simple infrastructures, most workers will be recruited locally. It is not expected that big worker camps will be required. Most of the subproject sites are well located to arrange worker camps. Due to the scattered locations of works in many communes/towns in Phu Yen province, depending on the construction site, the campsite will be selected, or rented site of local people will be used as accommodation for the workers as each component subproject or time of construction. The construction area is often far from the residential area, areas are arranged to create a camp for workers on construction site. As a result, the concentration camps will be built next to the construction works for construction workers, construction contractors, supervisory managers and engineers. Warehouses located in the construction site will be used to store materials and construction equipment. 2.4 Electric power and water demands Domestic electricity, construction is implemented at the construction site: At the construction sites under the sub-project of Phu Yen province, there is a national grid and is expected to supply electricity by portable diesel generator. Water resource for domestic use and construction: Water supply for construction uses river and lake water in subproject areas such as Ngan Son, Ba River, Ky Lo river and Xuan Binh reservoir. Domestic water at the construction site can be connected to households in the subproject area or use regional wells. 2.5 Landfill for construction wastes Construction wastes of Phu Yen Subproject will be transported to existing local landfills, including landfills in (i) Phong Nien village, Hoa Thang commune, Phu Hoa district at Km0+300 and landfill reserve’s 78.420 m3, (ii) At Phú My 1 or Dam Lan landfill, Long Hoa village, An Dinh commune, Tuy An district and landfill reserve’s 230.451 m3, and (iii) Chi Thanh town, Tuy An district and landfill reserve’s 65.113 m3. Construction waste of the subproject transported to the landfills is approved by local authorities. The waste transportation road from the construction site to the landfill through National Highway 1A, the provincial road.641 and some cement 25 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) Vietnam Emergency Natural Disaster Reconstruction Project – Phu Yen province concrete roads.

NATURAL, ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL CONDITIONS 3.1 Geographic and geological conditions 3.1.1 Geographic conditions Items of the Phu Yen subproject include 3 embankments, 3 dams, 5 roads and 2 bridges located scatteredly in 12 communes/towns in 3 districts and 1 town. The terrain in the construction site is relatively plain (Hoa Thang commune – Phu Hoa district) and has slope mountainous features (An Hiep, An Linh, An Dinh, communes, Chi Thanh town, An Xuan and An My communes in Tuy An district; Xuan Tho 2 , Xuan Binh and Xuan Loc communes – Song Cau town, Xuan Son commune and La Hai town – Dong Xuan district. The plain area is relatively even and flat, the river bank elevation varies from +8.4 to +10.5m. The region borders rivers, the circulation and trade and services exchange are favorable for the economic development. Besides, the area is prone to salt intrusion, subsidence and erosion. The mountainous terrain is uneven; the height ranges from +0.1m to +20.79 m; some section varies from +2.1 m to +6.3 m or gradually changes from +47.07m to +58.74 m. The stream banks are seriously eroded, forming vertical shape. The river banks stand the risk of severe 26 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) Vietnam Emergency Natural Disaster Reconstruction Project – Phu Yen province erosion, creating vertical shape and the river bed is formed with many sedimentations which block the flood flow. Particularly, the terrain in An Hiep-An Linh route is uneven, largely slope and complicated; the height ranges from +139.99 m to +239.47 m. Both sides of the road are severely eroded, forming vertical shape; some sections which are mainly at mountainous side line with large slope are seriously slide in rainy season. 3.1.2 Geological conditions According to the results of geological survey at the subproject area, the geological features of the site are mainly characterized by plain and mountainous area: Table 6.

Air humidity: The average humidity per year ranges from 74%  86%. The lowest is at 31% recorded in May. In rainy season, the temperature is low and the humidity is high with about 80- 90%. Rain: Rainy season starts from September to December. Average annual precipitation is about 1,646mm, the highest precipitation in day is at 536.8mm. Average annual rainfall of Phu Yen is from: 900-1,600mm. Wind: There are 2 major wind directions: the Northeast monsoon in rainy season and the West, Southwest wind in summer. Average annual wind speed is at 2.4m/s. The strongest speed is at 44 m/s. The strongest wind velocity is in May and June while the weakest is in December and January annually. Wind at speed of >10m/s is infrequent (frequency of 1.5%), it normally appears in storm season and tropical depression. Sunny: Total sunny hours in year is 2,556.8 h. The longest sunny hours is recorded in May; There were 33.6 days with dry hot wind in the year (2016). 3.3 Extreme weather events Phu Yen province frequently bears impacts from natural disasters, this is the reason limiting the development, stagnating social activities and threatening on the State’s and people’s safety and assets. Besides, economic losses because of drought, salt intrusion, river and sea banks erosion and damages from storms are very considerable. According to annual statistics of the province, 7 Source: Tuy Hoa city Meteorology Station. 28 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) Vietnam Emergency Natural Disaster Reconstruction Project – Phu Yen province years with severe damages from natural disasters include: In 2005: There were 11 tropical depression spells, storms and 09 storms hit the East sea, causing pro-longed flooding which leads to huge damages on the province. Particularly: 24 deaths, 05 people missed. Total cost of the damages on people, sectors and areas such as transport, agriculture, aquaculture, education, health, irrigation and electricity was: 161 billion dongs. In 2007: There were 07 tropical depression spells, storms and 07 storms hit the East sea, 04 flooding stroke Phu Yen province from the mid 10/2007 to end 11/2007. Among these, the flooding from 01/11-07/11/2007 as being affected from the storm No.7 dated 23/11-24/11/2007 was the most severe one, causing: 21 deaths, 09 injured. Total loss of damages on people, sectors and areas such as transports, agriculture, aquaculture, education, health, irrigation and electricity was: 200 billion dongs. In 2009: There were tropical depressions, 11 storms, 05 of which stroke the mainland of Vietnam, causing: 81 deaths in which 75 people were dead from flash flood, 97 injured. More specifically, 1,764 houses totally collapsed, 36,639 damaged or roof damaged. Total loss of 3,083ha rice. More than 28,000ha of other vegetable areas were flooded. 6,981 cattles and 162,584 poultries were killed and swept away. More than 200 boats were sunk and damaged, more than 18,000 rafts were swept away. Many medical service units were collaped and damaged on roof. Total loss was up to 3,178 billion dong. In 2013: Damages caused by thunders, lighting in the province on 09/7/2013 in Son Hoa - a mountainous area. The lighting hit 18 people who were working on the field, causing 09 seriously injured. In addition, due to water shortage in the beginning of the crop, communes had to cut more than 516.13 ha non-production area or carried out earlier crop; With 8,544 ha of Summer-Autumn rice were in short of water and provided water by pumping and anti-drought options. Particularly, more than 300ha rice in Hoa Thinh commune, Tay Hoa district were likely to be totally lost. Drought caused impacts on 4,300 ha of other plants, with which 15-20% were died or not developed. In 2014: Drought occurred in 02 seasons: Spring Winter season in 2013-2014: 2,313ha drought area, 187.0ha of which were totally lost (134ha in Tuy An district; 53.7ha Dong Xuan district; 2014Summer-Autumn season: Non-cultivation area as a result from water shortage: 555ha, changes of other plants: 131 ha. Because of prolonged water shortage, infrequent rain and hot weather, wide-spread drought were occurred. Accordingly, about 11,484 ha Summer Autumn rice were lack of water and had to receive water by pumping and other anti-drought options (in which there were 695ha rice in Tay Hoa, Dong Hoa, Dong Xuan, Tuy An and Song Cau town were completely dried and likely to be totally lost; 5.216 ha sugar cane faced drought, reducing from 30-70% yield; 6.489 ha cavassa were ingrown, reducing from 30-70% of productivity and about 4,251 ha other plants faced drought and needed water pumping, reducing 30-70% of productivity. In 2016 (from the end October to early December), infrastructures regarding transport, irrigation and technical infrastructures are seriously damaged. In addition, for agriculture, the production is mostly totally lost, specially: about 3,614.5 ha of mature rice were under water and felt down; 29 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) Vietnam Emergency Natural Disaster Reconstruction Project – Phu Yen province about 525.6 ha of Winter-Spring rice were under water, totally damaged; 2,608.5 ha of cash crops were sunk and damaged; about 21ha concentrated fruit trees were felt down and totally damaged; about 727,973 lobsters were died; more than 665ha lakes of shrimp culture and ponds were eroded; over 300 cattle and 85,600 poultries were sunk and swept away; more than 1,250 tons of food were under water and damaged. Total cost was estimated over 625 billion dong. Therefore, over the few years, natural disasters in Vietnam generally and in Phu Yen particularly have become complicated in various forms appeared widespread, causing damages on the State’s assets and people’s lives, curbing the local socio-economic development. 3.4 Ecosystems and biological resources 8 Current status of aquatic ecosystems Aquatic ecosystem in 5 areas, including 4 communes and 1 town: in Hoa Thang commune (embankment of Ba river); An Hiep commune-Tuy An district (embankment of Da stream), An Dinh commune and Chi Thanh town – Tuy An district (embankment of Ky Lo river), Xuan Binh Commune – Song Cau town (Xuan Binh road). Poor aquatic ecosystems without many specious aquatic species, but algae and some types of fish, shrimp in Ba river, Ky Lo river, Da stream, Xuan Binh lake such as tilapia, whitefish, catfish, goby, cranoglanis, shrimp, crab, snail, mussel with insignificant amount. Current status of terrestrial ecosystem Terrestrial ecosystems are mostly agricultural plants, covering in 10 communes and 02 towns in 3 districts and 1 town - Phu Yen province. Terrestrial plants include perennial trees such as auriculiformis, young eucalyptus globulus of 2-3 years, bamboo and some fruit trees such as mango, banana, jackfruit, pineapple and some shrubs along streams, embankment planted by local people and harvested periodically with sparse frequency and low economic value. Animals are main frogs and domestic animals. In general, ecosystem in the area is poor, without any rare species; current ecosystem is agricultural system. When the subproject is carried out, items will not affect the forest, thus, the local ecosystem will be insignificantly affected. 3.5 Current status of environmental quality Taking samples was carried out in the subproject area in March 2017. Specifically, total of 10 samples were taken including 10 samples of gas, 12 samples of surface water and 7 samples of ground water. Samples are analyzed by Phu Yen Technology Center for Standard, Measurement and Quality (3 air samples, 3 surface water samples, 2 underground water samples) and Mientrung University of Civil Engineering - Central Institute for Chemistry and Environment (7 air samples, 9 surface samples and 5 underground water samples). The results showed that air environmental quality in the area is good in accordance with the QCVN 05:2013/BTNMT and QCVN 06:2010/BTNMT. Quality of existing water surface is still good in line with QCVN 08-MT:2015/BTNMT. The underground water is within the permissible 8 Report of environmental current status in Phu Yen province, period 2011 - 2015 30 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) Vietnam Emergency Natural Disaster Reconstruction Project – Phu Yen province level of the QCVN 09-MT:2015/BTNTM, however, coliform is over the allowable level. 9 According to overall results from Phu Yen Environmental Monitoring Center, the content of heavy materials such as Cu, Pb, As in 2016 are within the allowable level of the Standard of Vietnam (QCVN 03-MT:2015/BTNMT)10. Therefore, the environmental quality in the subproject area has not shown any signs of pollution to environmental component, the monitoring parameters are within the allowable standards. 3.6 Socio-economic conditions Socio-economic conditions in 12 communes/towns in subproject are summarized in the following table: Table 7.

Total budget revenue of Tuy An district is much higher than that of other areas (VND 4,654,300 million), while other districts/towns have a total budget of about 100,000 VND or less. The poverty rate in Song Cau town is the lowest (2.19%), while the poverty rate in other districts ranges from 7.14 to 13.8%. 9 Results of underground water monitoring are shown in 2. 10 Environmental Monitoring Report in 2016. 11 Report No.295/BC-UBND dated 8/12/2016 of Dong Xuan district PC on the socio-economic, defense and security implementation in 2016 and directions and assignments in 2017 of Dong Xuan district. 12 Report No. 247/BC-UBND dated 17/11/2016 of Song Cau communal PC on the socio-economic, defense and security implementation in 2016 and directions and assignments in 2017. 13 Report No. 266/BC-UBND dated 6/12/2017 on the socio-economic, defense and security implementation in 2016 and directions and assignments in 2017. 14 Report No. 321/BC-UBND dated 19/12/2016 of Tuy An district PC on the socio-economic, defense and security implementation in 2016 and directions and assignments in 2017. 31 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) Vietnam Emergency Natural Disaster Reconstruction Project – Phu Yen province The rate of hygienic water use in urban areas ranges from 78.4 to 100%, ranging from 47.2 to 78.1% in rural areas. Local people have access to national electricity at 100%. There is no ethnic minorities households in the subproject area. With the target of becoming stable development areas, the districts are trying to mobilize to maximize their potential advantages, focus on the development of sectors and fields for development, efficiency and sustainability, constant improvement of the material and spiritual life of the people. 3.7 Technical infrastructures in the subproject area 3.7.1 Water supply system In the subproject area, there have been no hygienic water system. Domestic water of local people is from drilled wells. Water supply for the subproject is also from the current wells of households near the site. Water for the construction is from Ba, Ky Lo rivers, Da stream and Xuan Binh lake. At the region which is hard to access water sources, the contractor may discuss with neighboring households for using their water or drilled wells at the site. 3.7.2 Water drainage Currently, the subproject areas don’t have drainage and wastewater treatment system. Stormwater and effluent are released into Ba river, Da stream and Ky Lo river. Wastewater of households near the site is treated through squat toilets. By this, water will be evaporated and absorbed into the soil and flow to the river and stream. Overflow stormwater run along the slope terrain and absorb into the soil before flowing into the streams and rivers. 3.7.3 Electric power supply The subproject area are equipped with national power system for domestic and construction activities. 3.7.4 Solid waste management Environmental sanitation in 13 areas of the subproject (3 embankments, 3 dams, 5 roads and 2 bridges), normally households gather domestic waste in regulated points where the waste collection team of the district/town will collect every three-four times per week. Solid waste collection at the subproject area is carried out by 13 cooperatives, 8 teams in the Infrastructure- Economic Division of the district, town and Phu Yen Urban Environment Joint Stock Company. 3.7.5 Transportation system Transportation system of the province is developed fully; in the subproject area the rural roads are concreted, some are soil roads. Specifically, the province is crossed through by the inter- communal/town roads, PR 643, 642, 641 and 650, district road No. 38, NH 25, 1A and 19C. The width of road surface is from 3-10m, provincial roads mainly are cement concrete roads while the national highways are asphalt road and inter-communal/town routes are soil road. These route will be the way for transportation of construction materials, wastes, etc for the trucks of 10 tons during the construction of subproject items. 32 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) Vietnam Emergency Natural Disaster Reconstruction Project – Phu Yen province 3.8 Site-specific characters and sensitive receptors The existing conditons at around each construction sites are showed as follow: Table 2.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL IMPACTS 4.1 Impact magnitude Type and scope of environmental impacts for the Vietnam Emergency Natural Disaster Reconstruction project – Phu Yen Subproject are summarized in the following table. Potentially environmental impacts are classified and identified as follows: None (N) – No impacts; Low (L): Small work, small impacts, localized, reversible, temporary; Medium (M) – Small works in sensitive/urban areas, medium-scale with medium impacts, reversible, temporary; High (H) – Major works in sensitive/urban areas, large-scaled works with significant impacts (social and/or environmental), irreversible, and compulsory compensation. In general, all operations of the reparation and restoration items are related to small and medium- sized construction works, in which the majority of negative impacts on the environment are changeable, with temporary and local nature and can be mitigated through the adoption of measures to manage the construction and appropriate technological engineering, under the strict supervision of implementation process of contractors and local public consultation. However, the type and nature of the impacts change significantly based on the nature and scale of the operation, implementation location, and natural environmental and social conditions, human’s habits and timing factors. The potential social and environmental impacts are screened in Table following. 38 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) Vietnam Emergency Natural Disaster Reconstruction Project – Phu Yen province Table 10.

Both M and H require monitoring and implementation of mitigation measures as well as an appropriate institutional capacity in terms of safety (2) Most impacts of small and medium scale works are localized and temporary and can be mitigated through the application of technical solutions and good construction management practice with strict supervision, inspection and consultation with the local community. 40 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) Vietnam Emergency Natural Disaster Reconstruction Project – Phu Yen province 4.2 Site clearance phase Pre-construction impact include (i) land acquisition and (ii) Safety risks related to unexploded ordnances (UXO) or dnances and physical cultural structures. Arising impacts from demolition and site clearance for preparation of subproject area will be considered during the construction process. Social impacts According to the survey, implementation of 13 works items under the Subproject will affect 423 households, in which 403 households are directly affected and 20 households are indirectly affected because they cultivate on land area managed by PC of commune/town. Impacts from land acquisition for the Subproject is shown below: Table 11. Subjects affected from land acquisition for Phu Yen Subproject 15 No. of directly No. of indirectly No. Items Total HHs HHs 1 Embankment 232 8 240 2 Dams 21 3 24 3 Road/Bridge 150 9 159 Total 403 20 423 (Source: RAP, 2017) It is estimated that 7,726 m2 of residential land, 124,854 m2 of agricultural land, 254,833 m2 of public land is acquired. Total 375,852 m2 of area is requisitioned for construction of 13 items under the subproject. Apart from impacts on land, the land acquisition affects trees, cash crops of people in 12 communes/towns in Phu Yen Subproject. There are 403 directly affected households and 20 indirectly affected households during the process as the local people make cultivation on land managed by PPC. There are 2,133 fruit trees (longan, pomelo, and banana); 2,751 timbers and 4,740 bamboos affected. Besides, about 27,091 m2 rice field; 741 m2 crops are impacted by items of the Subproject. In addition, 29 households are affected with structures, in which 2 households are affected with houses (62m2), and 27 HHs with structures as: 239m2 yard, 563 m2 wall, 250 m2 breeding sheds. No business households are affected. It is estimated that, only 03 works items might affect residential land currently, with total area of 7,726m2. All households are partially affected with residential land and structures thereon. Thus, none of households have to be relocatedin Phu Yen province. Safety risks related to Unexploded ordnance and toxic chemicals residual According to regulation at Circular No. 154/2013 / TT-BQP by the Ministry of Defense dated 19/8/2013, Phu Yen province is the area required to clear mines and unexploded ordnance (Area 15 Data sources: Resettlement Action Plan 41 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) Vietnam Emergency Natural Disaster Reconstruction Project – Phu Yen province 1) prior to the implementation of the subproject. Therefore, prior to leveling up site for the component subprojects, mines and war chemicals should be screened to avoid unfortunate accidents that threaten the lives of workers on the site, local persons and damage the construction machine. Despite the short-term impact, the impact magnitude has significant impact on the health of workers and the surrounding population. As a result, clearance of unexploded ordnance, residual and chemicals in the subproject area is a mandatory requirement prior to the construction of any works items. Impacts on cultural works Construction of school has no impacts on any cultural works. 4.3 Construction phase 4.3.1 Generic impacts 1. Air environment Dust Sources of dust arising during the construction process includes (i) clearing and grubbing, tree cutting, architectural structures, site clearance for construction and excavation and backfilling, site leveling, (ii) transportation, material gathering and storing, transportation and disposal, (iii) excavation and backfilling. Dust arising will impact on soil, air environment, workers, personnel and surrounding residents in short time. Specifically, details are shown as follow: Table 12. Volume of dust arising during the construction process16 Dust concentrations (mg/m3) Site Work items Excavation QCVN 05:2013/ BTNMT clearing Transportation, and and gathering backfilling grubbing 1.

The concentration of dust emission ranges from 0.1 – 0.53 mg/ m3, impact level is local from 50 -300m; Almost construction areas have dust content which is lower than allowable limit of QCVN 05:2013/BTNMT. Ba and Ky Lo rivers embankment have dust content higher than 1.36 and 1.77 times. (ii) Material transportation, gathering and storing, transportation and disposal: emitted dust volume ranges from 0.32 – 6.6 mg/m3, estimated dust concentration is 1.17- 22 times higher than the allowable level in the QCVN 05:2013/BTNMT; Specifically, dust concentration is 13.42 times higher under Ky Lo river embankment and spread dust concentration is 22 times higher than the standard. (iii) Excavation and backfilling: Dust concentration is 1.03 – 2.77 times higher than the allowable limit of QCVN 05:2013/BTMNT. Within scope of Ba river embankment, because the area is large, spacious and wet, impacts from Ba river embankment are insignificant. For Da stream embankment and Ky Lo river embankment, the dust disperses more than 300m and 600m, respectively, which are within allowable level of QCVN 05:2013/BTNMT. In other areas, dust content is not much higher and approximate standard. Moreover, because the excavation area is relatively wet and far from the residential area, these impacts are considered insignificant, local and in short-term. In general, impacts from dust on the subproject area is low and minimized by appropriate construction methods. Exhaust gases Components of exhaust gases emitted from the transportation of machines and equipment for the construction includes SO2, NO2, CO. Emission has impacts on workers and local residents surrounding the site in the short term in 12 communes/towns in 03 districts and 1 town. Emission is detailed in the Table 12. Table 13.

NO2 emission concentration ranges from 0.32 – 7.28 mg/m3, higher than 1.5 – 36 times compared to the standard. CO concentration in each construction site is from 0.1 – 1.47 mg/m3, much lower than QCVN05:2013/BTNMT. Equipment operating in a certain period of time and infrequently, the pollution parameters are local, dispersed, and inconstant; thus, these impacts are low and minimized if appropriate measures are applied. Noise Noise is generated from the operation of vehicles, construction machines such as trucks, bulldozers, compactors, drilling machines, vibrators and so on. Noise levels of typical machinery and equipment are presented in the following table: Table 14. Noise arising during the construction process No. Type of machines Noise level over source 15m (dBA) 1. Heavy trucks 70-96 2. Caterpillar bulldozer 77-95 3. Compactor 72-88 4. Compressor 69-86 5. Mobile crane 75-95 6. Sawing machine 80-82 7. Drilling machine 76-99 8. Concrete mixer 74-88 9. Excavator 75-86 10. Vibration roller 70-80 11. Electric generator 72-82 12. Pile driving machine 72-85 QCVN 26/2010/BTNMT: 6:00 to 21:00 is 70 dBA; from 21:00 to 6:00 is 55 dBA; Standard of Health Ministry: noise in the production area: contact time in 8 hours is 85 dBA Standard of EHS Guidelines is 55 dBA from 6:00 to 21:00 and 45 dBA from 21:00 to 6:00 for resident area, school, and office. Noise level ranges from 77-90 dBA at the position which is 15m away from the source. Noise affects life of workers on construction site and local people. Thus, according to noise level calculation as distance to source, within the scope of 120m-250m, the noise volume is under the limit in QCVN 26:2010/BTNMT. At embankment construction area, location of local people in Ba river embankment and Xuan Binh reservoir operation and management road (about 50-200m) affect lives of local people. However, impacts from noise are insignificant and infrequent, which mainly from operation time of machines and equipment. hence, the impacts are mitigable by appropriate measures. Vibration Vibration generated from the operation of constructional machines and equipment, site leveling and clearance, excavation and transportation of soil, stone, and operation of machines: Truck, roller, compactor, drilling machine, and vibration roller and so on has impacts on neighboring construction works, workers and local people. Vibration’s impacts is within short-term of construction phase to neighboring areas. Vibration level arising at construction area of 44 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) Vietnam Emergency Natural Disaster Reconstruction Project – Phu Yen province embankments, irrigation dams, road and bridges within 63-99dBA at location with distance from source is about 10m. According to calculation, vibration caused by bulldozers, air compressor, and compactor and pilling machines at location with distance of 30m is still higher than allowable level set forth in QCVN 27:2010/BTNMT. In addition distance of 30m from source arising, vibration is lower standard. Because the embankment area is near to residents’ houses where the distance is about 50-200m and Xuan Binh reservoir road (50-300m), local people’s life will be affected. However, it only causes impacts at the operation time of machines and equipment and will be mitigable by appropriate measures. 2. Water environment degradation Domestic wastewater Wastewater is discharged from daily activities of workers, engineers such as bathing, washing and wastewater from toilets. Waste water directly impacts on workers at worker camps, construction site and nearby areas. About 50 workers, engineers with 80l/persons/day will generate about 4m3/d at each construction site. Pollutant concentration of domestic wastewater exceeds allowable level in the QCVN 14:2008/BTNMT, column B. Impacts from the wastewater is local at the site and surrounding area during the construction period. Impacts on workers, local residents are low and may be mitigable if appropriate wastewater treatment measures are taken. Construction wastewater Construction wastewater is generated from foundation excavation, dredging activities, drilling activities, concreting and casting of components, construction of the embankment’s cut-off wall and ambient environment. Impact magnitude of construction wastewater is in the construction site and surrounding area. Wastewater volume from construction activities is insignificant, about 2-3m3/month in each location, equivalent to about 3-36m3 out of total construction period at each location. Construction wastewater cause turbidity, impacting on ecological system at the construction site and surrounding areas is locally affected, in short term and inconstantly, the impacts on water environment are insignificant. Run-off Run-off is water on large area and high intensity will cause flood and local inundation at each construction site. According to database from Phu Yen Centre for Hydro - Meteorological Forecasting, the day with the highest rain intensity is 536.8mm. Run-off volume is about 0.03 – 0.12m3/s at each location. Surface Run-off from heavy rain days will sweep soil, sand, debris, wastes, etc along the flow into rivers, streams and lakes, causing increased suspended solids in surface water; large surface runoff usually occur in September and October. Pollutants from surface run-off has risks of impacting on the living aquatic organisms in the surface water ecosystem in Ba river, Ky Lo river and Da stream, Xuan Binh reservoir, irrigation transport in the region, when turbidity is increased. Aquatic species can be affected by polluted water, for example cause difficulties to their respirations, photosynthesis. Ecological system in the region is simple ecological system, impact is insignificant, regional irrigation transport has low frequency. The impact levels are low, short-term, local, but it is necessary to apply mitigable measures. 3. Solid wastes and hazardous wastes generation Domestic solid wastes 45 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) Vietnam Emergency Natural Disaster Reconstruction Project – Phu Yen province Domestic activities of workers in the construction sites of embankment, dam, road, domestic solid waste can be arisen during the construction phase. 25kg/day of domestic solid waste at each construction site (50 workers x 0.5kg/person/day). Components of domestic solid wastes are mainly decomposable organic substances and such as nylon, bottles. If the wastes are not collected and treated, it will affect directly the workers at the site and local residents, reduce the water quality and the soil quality in the location. The impacts are short-term during the construction period, can be mitigated by appropriate measures. Construction solid wastes Construction activities on construction site of embankments, dams, roads and bridges will generate construction waste from demolition of old works, cleared plants, excavated soil, dredged materials, packaging materials, pieces of irons, steels... The amount of construction solid waste arising ranges from 1 - 6 tons at each site during the construction of Ba river, Da stream and Ky Lo river embankments. The composition of solid waste is mainly broken brick, packages, iron, and wood and so on. It is inert, less polluted. These wastes have little impact on the health of workers and the surrounding people, but affects the landscape and, the potential risk of floodwaters washed away, localizes local flow. pH and salinity is expected to refered to monitoring program to determine the quality of the wastes before disposal. Disposal of these materials require some land areas, However according to consultation results in the community in the subproject area. the villagers propose to bring back these waste volume to level and reinforce their houses and works. The level of impact is considered low. Hazardous wastes Construction activities will generate hazardous waste during the operation process of machines, equipment such as grease, gloves, and cloths for cleaning with grease, chemical tools and so on. Oil replacement, repair are carried out in workshop/garage, not at the site. Only urgent minor repair is carried out on site so the amount of hazardous waste should be small. These waste cause impacts on workers and local people during the construction phase. Volume of hazardous waste is from 1-2kg/month, equivalent to 2 – 24kg during the construction process at each construction site. Hazardous wastes at the construction site mainly comprise of grease, leaking and disposed oil after the maintenance of equipment and equipment, gloves, etc. Volume of waste is insignificant but has risks of impacting on environment and staffs and workers at low level and mitigable with suitable measures. 4. Impacts on physical cultural resources When implementing soil activities, the construction contractor will excavate at various depth such as (i) excavation of embankment foot at the depth of 8-10m, (ii) bored drilling or precast concrete pile for bridge abutment, at the depth of 10-20m, (iii) excavate the surface solid to construct the road with the depth from 0.5-1.0m. When implementing the works, graves and cultural properties may be detected. The detection possibility is at medium level. The antique and cultural properties detected will be complied with the regulated procedures (stipulated in the ECOPs). 4.3.2 Site specific impacts Changes of the flow and terrain, causing erosion and sedimentation, embankment construction area 46 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) Vietnam Emergency Natural Disaster Reconstruction Project – Phu Yen province Excavation and backfilling, bulldozing and leveling the site for embankment of Ba river, Da stream and Ky Lo river has high risk of changing flow, terrain, erosion and sedimentation and impacts on local people near construction area of Ba river, Da stream, Ky Lo river embankments and surrounding environment. The impact time is short and in the construction phase. Volume of construction for excavation and backfilling is from 250,000 tons to 470,000 tons of soil and stone at each site for embankment of Ba river, Da stream and Ky Lo river. The excavation and backfilling, site leveling will change the terrain, disturb the land surface, physical and chemical characteristics, and increase the erosion when it rains, causing landslide of backfilling soil and sedimentation of excavation area if no appropriate measures are applied. In addition, the construction will cause erosion, river alluvial by the flow above and under the construction area, especially the area affected by the flooding flow. However, thanks to large river flat and the main flow is far from the opposite banks, the construction doesn’t cause alluvial, erosion of the South of Ba river bank and Ky Lo river. The impacts are low and controllable if appropriate construction methods are applied. Illegal exploitation of natural resources in embankment construction area Construction of embankment for Ba river, Da stream, and Ky Lo river is the reason leading illegal natural resources exploitation by individuals and organizations. This illegal exploitation affects local natural resources during the construction phase. Exploitation volume is from 12,000 tons to 43,000 tons of sand in each construction site for embankment of Ba river, Da stream and Ky Lo river. The permission of on-spot sand exploitation for the construction may lead to overexploitation of some contractors and participating units and that they take advantages of taking sand from river bed for selling. This is a common problem which contributes to the subsidence of surrounding area, run-out of the natural resources and impacts on entitlements and benefits of local people. These impacts are medium but controllable by appropriate measures. Falling into river, drowning at drainage culvert in the process of embankment construction Construction of Ba river, Da stream, Ky Lo river embankment can lead incidents of falling into river, drowning at drainage culverts in case embankment construction, affecting lives and property of workers during the construction phase. Labor accidents may take place at any time or during the construction of the embankment. Particularly, in hot days of May and June, the highest temperature (above 400C) at the site may make workers fainting and fall into the river in the area of Ba river, Ky Lo river embankment. This cause impacts on people’s life, assets and construction quality and schedule. These impacts are medium but mitigable by appropriate measures. Impacts from the flood flow in case construction of irrigation dam May-flood in the beginning of summer (May and June), early flood is in September and main- crop flood in October and November, late flood is in December and the next January. It has risk of impacting on lives safety and property of workers, quality of construction works, and local people during the construction of irrigation dams 1, 2 and 3 and on Da stream, An Hiep commune. Flood frequency of 70%/year (alarm level III), flood density of 92%/year (alarm level III), the earliest flood of 92%/year (alarm level III). It causes huge impacts on assets and safety of staffs, workers at the site of construction of irrigation dams, and leading to environmental pollution, sedimentation and local erosion. Impact magnitude is large and there should apply appropriate measures during the irrigation dam construction process. 47 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) Vietnam Emergency Natural Disaster Reconstruction Project – Phu Yen province Impacts on local ecosystem in case construction of embankment, bridge The period of construction of Suoi Tre and Cay Sung bridges can affect aquatic ecological system. Piling activities can drop stones and soil into stream or cause fuel leaking, leading to impacts on aquatic ecosystem along the bridge and surrounding area. Regional ecological system is a simple ecological system, with magnitude impact is insignificant, discontinuous, low and controllable by appropriate construction methods. Impacts on production and domestic activities of local people in case construction of road The construction period for An Linh – An Hiep road, PR 642, 643, 650 and access road to Xuan Binh reservoir affects domestic, production activities during the construction phase of An Linh – An Hiep road, PR 642, 643, 650 and access road to Xuan Binh. The construction affect cash crops along PR 642, domestic and production activities of households along access road to Xuan Binh lake and along the provincial road 643, 650, specifically, households living near the only road for domestic and production activities which approaches to An Linh – An Hiep road. Particularly, the risks affect the quality of transport roads because of transportation of materials, fuels and waste. Impact magnitude is short term and inconstant; however, appropriate impact mitigation measures should be applied. Social disturbances in case construction of embankment, roads Large number concentration of male workers for construction of Ba river, Da stream, Ky Lo river embankment, roads can cause social disturbances, affecting local women during the construction period. This is mentioned as an unsolvable problem on girls and women after local works are finished. In the construction phase, the children given birth by women and they have to wait for their fathers and fiancé who work for the construction to get reunion and married. Measures and prompt actions should be taken to prevent and stop the problem so as to ensure social safeguard, welfare and happiness for the next generations. 4.3.3 Sensitive receptors The construction of the provincial road 650 and Xuan Binh reservoir operation and management will affect the production forest area along these roads. Impacts on forests are mentioned as (i) increasing the loss of forest area by cutting down timber for sale or for cooking by workers; (ii) increasing the risk of forest fire arising from the activities of workers, construction or negligence of workers on the site; (iii) reducing of the biomass growth of the forest due to dust, gas emissions during the process of operating machinery and equipment. Although the production forest of local people has low economic value, the loss of forest biomass due to illegal logging or forest fire will affect the income of local people and the regional environment. Impact levels are insignificant and are likely to be mitigated by appropriate measures. Details are shown in the following tables: Table 15. Sensitive receptor description No. Sensitive receptors Location/ Description Impacts 1 Production forest – the - Located in An Xuan commune, - Loss of forest biomass on provincial road.650 Tuy An district. forest planting area - Some sections come across - Fire due to carelessness production forest of workers - Forest is mainly grown with 1- - Reduce plant growth 48 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) Vietnam Emergency Natural Disaster Reconstruction Project – Phu Yen province No. Sensitive receptors Location/ Description Impacts 2 year-old acacia - Risk by exploiting forest - People exploit periodically, for firewood and small, scattered, economic building materials from value is not high. workers - Trees include timbers, fruit trees in the affected area. 2 Production forest – access - Located in Xuan Loc and Xuan road to Xuan Binh reservoir Binh communes, Song Cau town - Along the road, there is - Loss of forest biomass on production forest forest planting area - The trees are mainly - Fire due to carelessness eucalyptus with 2-3 years old of workers and acacia with 1-2 years old. - Reduce plant growth - Production forests are harvested periodically; - Risk by exploiting forest economic value is not high and for firewood and not continuous. building materials from workers - 6.341m2 of area is affected by the subproject, including timber trees and crops area in the affected area.

However, some impacts should be taken into consideration as follows: Falling into rivers, stream and drowning on embankment These cases are warned in the up and down steps to the walking paths under the embankment or at drainage culverts along the embankment. Because of absence of handrail, barrier gate, the risk, especially for children and the elderly in design document, incident risk of falling into rivers, streams, drowning is high. Specific and additional measures for research, design should be taken to prevent the threats for the community when using the works. Road Safety during the operation of 3 embankments, 5 roads Road safety is likely to be the key impacts during operation of 3 embankment (ba river, Da stream and Ky Lo river) and 5 roads (An Linh – An Hiep road, PR.642, PR.643, PR.650 and 49 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) Vietnam Emergency Natural Disaster Reconstruction Project – Phu Yen province operation and management road of Xuan Binh reservoir) during the first few years when transportation of rural population (bicycles, cars, etc.) are mixed with motor vehicle operations (cars, motorcycles, trucks, etc.) and levels of traffic accident could increase. Experience in the country suggested that this can be managed by improving knowledge of local people on road use regulations and practices as well as monitoring and enforcement of driver speed and behavior. In the longer term when traffic volume is high, generation of dust, exhausted gases, noise, and vibration could be an additional issue but this could be mitigated through long term planning. Induced development There are various social impacts that may occur due to land use changes and/or induced development (increase solid waste, illegal use of right of ways, etc.); however, this is likely to be a long-term issue. During the first few years, these impacts will be minor however improving people knowledge on socio-economic development opportunity and risks related to social issues could help reducing potential negative impacts to local population. 4.5 Health and safety risks 4.5.1 Construction phase Workers Health and Safety Labor accidents incidents can occur at any construction phase of the subproject. Workers health and safety happens during the construction phase as a result of: - Lack of labor protection equipment, - Electric shock due to neglectfulness of personnel and staffs or implementation of fire safety measures when using unsafe/ over loading machines; - Health conditions; Specially, outdoor workers exposed to hot weather (in summer, temperature can reach 390C - 400C) or Land slide at deep excavation sites. - Workers working on the river (constructing embankment, constructing river-cross bridge) are at risk of being drowned due to their carelessness or tiredness or not following regulations on occupational safety when performing their construction activities at these areas. - Density of means of transportation on construction site, - Extreme weather events such as heavy rain, storms, flush flood, or extreme hot weather - Violating labor discipline such as drinking alcohol, using stimulants… - Construction of work items will mobilize up to 30 - 50 employees working per location. The main potential social problems associated with worker influx could be: (i) potential impact of spreading infectious disease from employees to local communities and vice versa; (ii) potential impact of prostitution, drugs and gambling; (iii) potential conflict between workers and local communities because of differences of culture, behavior; and iv) sexual abuse and assault of girls due to influx of workers employed by the construction company in the area. The causes of workers health and safety are varied and can happen all the time and all places if workers on the site do not comply with the safety measures as well as strictly maintain the implementation of the labor discipline. When labor accidents threatens health, life and property, the progress and quality of the works under construction can be reduced. Traffic accidents risks 50 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) Vietnam Emergency Natural Disaster Reconstruction Project – Phu Yen province Incidents, traffic accidents during the reparation, construction of items under the subproject: overloading, over-speed transportation, weather events and geographical conditions, etc. Accidents can be self-inflicted or crashed with other means of transport. Especially, points with connection road with access road into residential site or National Highway 1A. Land and stone landslide incidents risks Landslide, subsidence of the works geology during the construction phase because of soft newly excavated road base, incompleted reinforcement, subsidence and landslide of land can be occurred, especially in case weather events such as storms, storm. This situation affects people involving in construction, local people and construction equipment, vehicles on roads and embankment. Leaking of materials and explosives risks In the transportation, use of materials, machinery and equipment uses fuels such as gasoline, oil and so on. The leakage of fuel often occurs during the construction process, easily lead to major risks causing fire and explosion of vehicles and machinery; Power supply systems for construction machinery, construction equipment and temporary worker camps may be subject to short-circuit, fire and electric shock. Damage can be listed as loss of life, injury, damage to property and the surrounding environment. Particular attention should be paid when carry out construction during the rainy season. Impacts by flood flow May-flood appears in the beginning of summer (May and June), early flood is in September and main-crop flood in October and November, late flood is in December and the next January is the major reason causing impacts. These impacts affect on-going works, local residents at construction sites of embankment of Da stream in An Hiep commune, and embankment of Ky Lo river, section through Ngan Son bridge. Flood frequency of 70%/year (alarm level III), flood density of 92%/year (alarm level III), the earliest flood of 92%/year (alarm level III). It causes huge impacts on assets and safety of staffs, workers at the site of construction of irrigation dams, and leading to environmental pollution, sedimentation and local erosion. However, impact magnitude by flood flow is medium and appropriate response methods should be applied during the construction process. 4.5 2 Operational phase Natural disasters, storm wind, flooding Incidents caused by natural disaster, storms and floods during the phase of using roads, embankments, bridges, dams, have possibility of landslides, earthquakes and so on. That causes damage to works and property of the people. Design has calculated climate weather’s the abnormalities in the past, thus the impact of this situation is low. Erosion, subsidence of work, blocking of the water flow In the process of putting the works into operation, there is the possibility of embankment landslide, the edge of the road due to floods, earthquakes, sea waves, smashing, poor construction works, unensured design. This can cause damage of works if works are not solid and design is not guaranteed. This causes damage to works and property of local people. 5. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT MITIGATION MEASURES The mitigation measures stated in this Chapter are the major impact mitigation ones for the 51 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) Vietnam Emergency Natural Disaster Reconstruction Project – Phu Yen province subroject during the design, the site clearance, and construction and operation periods. Typical mitigation measures are shown the Environmental Code of Practices (ECOPs); and will be taken for mitigation on common impacts of works. For site-specific impacts, a typical mitigation impacts in combination with common methods set forth in ECOPs for each site should be carried out during the construction and operation phases . 5.1 Design phase The embankment of Ky Lo, Ba rivers and Da stream is along the river and stream to both prevent site clearance of local resident’s permanent houses and ensure the form of straight embankment. Consider the followings: (i) Stair cases and handrails are included in the design of the embankments to maintain safe access to water fronts for local communities; (ii) Trees would be planted along riverbanks to improve the landscape and stabilize the riverbank and streambank. The design period for 03 embankments, 03 irrigation dams, 2 bridges and 5 roads are based on hydrological regime survey (flood level, flow regime, etc), geological and topographical conditions of the location to ensure safety and effective performance of the works. The detailed design for the works must be clear at all aspects relating to excavated and backfilling sludge management, transportation of sludge by trucks with cover and anti-leaking equipment; residual sludge must be disposed at suitable places which is prepared in advance. Roads: the roads are designed with surface drainage system, kerb inlet along roads, traffic signsto ensure traffic satety pursuant to the standards, slop stabilisation along the approach road, if required and green trees along to the road. In the detailed design, the Subproject Management Unit will ensure requirements in respect with full drainage system to avoid flooding in the construction and operation courses and nergy-saving lighting systems ensuring aesthetic beauty;. 5.2 Impact mitigtion measures during the site clearance The concerning matters in this phase are compensation, support and resettlement (if any) for people who have land, houses, income and assets affected. The compensation will comply with the subproject’s update resettlement action plan. Cost estimate for the resettlement action plan for work items of the Subproject is 18,290,235,403 VND (equivalent to 805,737 USD), with exchange rate: 22,700 VND = 1 USD as of April 2017). This amount includes costs for compensation/supports for land, structures and assets affected by the subproject, income restoration program, transition support, evaluation monitoring, implementation management and contingencies.18. Implementation of compensation and support for affected households - The Subproject Owner with contract and coordinate with the District Centre for Land Fund Development, DONRE, DPC, Division of Natural Resources and Environment of district and commune, organizations, households and related individuals who are affected with land and on-land structures within site clearance area to guide and inform them of the measurement, declaration of assets accurately, specifically and publicly so as to make an agreement about the most suitable compensation and support option. - Widely disseminate the compensation, support and resettlement policy of the subproject. - Disseminate the implementation of entitlements, benefits and comply with the State’s law. 18 Details in the Resettlement Action Plan – prepared separately for Phu Yen Subproject. 52 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) Vietnam Emergency Natural Disaster Reconstruction Project – Phu Yen province - Inform HHs of the compensation cost detailedly for each type of damage. - Publicize and inform exact amount of compensation, support and resettlement (if any) of each subproject’s HHs. - Pay the compensation amount for accurate persons and time. - Coordinate with the local authorities in the case any disputes happened to ensure the efficiency of site clearance. - Before construction, relocation of grave shall be carried out in line with Resettlement Action Plan which has been approved by the WB. Mitigation methods for unexploded ordnances - Hire competent and qualified unit such as Center for Mine Action and Environment - Command of Military Region V to carry out UXO clearance in the subproject construction site. - Ensure the safety and warning distance for local people during the implementation period under the QCVN 01:2012/BQP – National Technical Regulation on mine action and the QCVN 02:2008/BCT – National technical standard on safety in the storage, transportation, use and disposal of industrial explosive materials. 5.3 Impact mitigation measures during the construction As part of the Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) for the subproject these general measures have been translated into a standard environmental specification to be incorporated into bidding and contract documents. These are referred to as Environmental Codes of Practice (ECOPs), and will be applied to mitigate typical impacts of the subproject’s civil works during the pre-construction and construction phase. The ECOPs describe typical requirements to be undertaken by contractors and supervised by the construction supervision consultant during construction. The ECOPs will be incorporated into the bidding and contract documents (BD/CD) annexes. The measures identify typical mitigation measures for the following aspects: - Impacts of dust; - Air pollution; - Noise and vibration; - Water pollution; - Solid waste; - Chemicals or hazardous wastes; - Traffic management; - Interruption to utility services; - Restoration of affected areas; - Worker and public Safety; - Communication with local communities about subproject environmental issues; - Health and Safety for workers and the public; - Chance finding procedures - Fire hazard due to accident. 53 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) Vietnam Emergency Natural Disaster Reconstruction Project – Phu Yen province Table 36.

ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM 8.1 Objectives of the environmental monitoring program Implementation plan of monitoring program is divided into 2 phases: Design phase is the preparation phase and subproject construction; Do not conduct environmental monitoring during subproject operation phase due to mostly positive impacts on this phase. Mitigation measures determined during subproject preparation must be completed by the designer before construction. The proper design results must be included into the contractor's bids. During construction phase, some mitigation measures must be carried out before construction such as training for contractor and Construction Supervision Consultant (CSC). The detailed implementation plan for mitigation measures must be given out to be applied at site on commencement date. Such requirement is also available in the Bidding Documents and such plan shall be inspected by PPMU. 8.2 Review of contractor's documents ESMP’s Implementation Plan must be prepared by the contractor and inspected by PPMU before the Bids are submitted. All documents submitted by the contractor are appraised in accordance with the subproject requirements are submitted PMU and CSC to ensure that no works are undertaken unless the supervising engineer/supervision consultant is satisfied that the contractor has suitable proposals for managing the E&S risks of the activity in accordance with the employers requirements. Any changes in documents must be accepted by the environmental officer and CSC. Such documents must be continuously updated. 8.3 Environmental monitoring plan a.

CAPACITY BUILDING PROGRAM 9.1 Technical Assistance support for the implementation of safeguards An assessment of safeguards implementation capacity of existing PPPMU staffs indicate that PPPMU staffs have limited knowledge on WB safeguard requirements as well as limited 77 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) Vietnam Emergency Natural Disaster Reconstruction Project – Phu Yen province knowledge of environment and social issues. Such lack of capacity represents a risk to subproject implementation of safeguards requirements contained in the ESMP and, as required by the WB policy, is to be addressed through capacity building. Therefore, it is proposed to provide capacity building through technical assistance that will support the PPMU during the implementation of the safeguards requirements. The technical assistance will provide the necessary technical support the PPPMU in its work with contractors as well as other entities involved in the implementation of the ESMP. This technical assistance must be made available at an earlier stage to ensure that the ESMP is properly and appropriately translated into the bidding (and subsequent contract) documentation. The technical assistance should be undertaken by appropriately skilled and experienced personnel, and be undertaken in accordance with a Terms of Reference that includes specific reference to developing effective Employers Requirements sections of the standard Procurement Documents (SPDs). The scope of the technical assistance would cover support from experts and training that would cover both the knowledge on safeguards requirements and procedures for the subproject as well as training that covers both specific knowledge on safeguard procedures and requirement for the subproject staffs, consultants, and national contractor would be important. This would include, for example, assistance in the preparation of documents and implementation of training program on environmental management and environmental monitoring for contractors, CSC and relevant staffs of PPPMU (environmental staffs and coordinators of packages) to do their tasks. It would also include assisting the PPPMU’s environmental staffs with the review of contract documents on the bidding packages for construction items of the subproject to ensure compliance with environmental protection policies and impact mitigation and monitoring requirements as well as provide general environmental guidance as requested by the PPPMU to enhance overall subproject implementation and performance. Given the nature, locations, and scale of construction, it is anticipated that the safeguard technical assistance support and training will be provided at least 2 times (one on pre- construction phase and another on construction phase). The WB safeguard specialists will participate in the capacity building in particular in the training activities as appropriate. 9.2 Training programs proposed Table as below, provides examples of the basic trainings for safeguards during subproject implementation. The training programs will be developed and delivered by the Technical Assistance team for the implementation of safeguards for the PPPMU training. The PPPMU with the support of the Technical Assistance team for the implementation of safeguards will provide the training to contractors, CSC and other groups. Other more specific and tailored training will be developed and agreed upon between PPPMU and the Technical Assistance team for the implementation of safeguards during subproject implementation based upon an reassessment of needs and the status of safeguards implementation.  Target groups for the training: include PPMU staffs, ESU staffs, field engineers, CSC, construction contractors, local authorities, and community representatives in the subproject area. Training of workers and drivers is the responsibility of the contractor.  Training schedule: At least 1 month before the construction of the first contract. The training can be adjusted in line with the implementation schedule of the sub subproject/contracts.  Training frequency: The basic training programs proposed in Table as below, will take place every six months on a yearly basis and its content updated and adapted to implementation issues. Training frequency and content will be reassessed during 78 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) Vietnam Emergency Natural Disaster Reconstruction Project – Phu Yen province implementation depending on needs. It is foreseen that the training program for PPMU staffs will continue until year three of implementation. Table 85.

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

GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM (GRM) Complaints relating to any subproject's problems will be solved through negotiations to achieve the consensus. A complaint will go through three stages before it can be transferred to the court. The enforcement unit will pay all administrative and legal fees relating to the acceptance of complaints. This cost is included in the subproject budget. Complaint procedures and resolution will be performed as follows: The first level People’s Committee of ward/commune. An affected household is to take his/her complaint to any member of the People's Committee of the ward / commune, through the village head or directly to People’s Committee of the commune / ward, in written or oral form. The said member(s) of the People’s Committee or the village head will inform the People’s Committee of the ward/commune on the complaint. The People's Committee of Ward/Commune will work directly in person with the said affected household and will decide on the settlement of the complaint 5 days after receiving such complaint (this may take 15 days in mountainous or remote areas). The Secretariat of the People’s Committee of the relevant commune/ward is responsible for documenting and recording all the complaints that it is handling. After the Ward/Commune People's Committee issues its decision, the relevant household can make an appeal within 30 days. In case a second decision has been issued but the said household is still not satisfied with such decision, such household can appeal to the municipal (city) People’s Committee (CPC). The second level The CPC. Upon receiving a complaint from a household, the CPC will have 15 days (or 30 days in case of remote and mountainous areas) after receiving the complaint to resolve the case. The CPC is responsible for filing and storing documents on all complaints that it handles. When the CPC has issued a decision, the household can make an appeal within 30 days. In case a second decision has been issued and the household is still not satisfied with such a decision, they can appeal to the Provincial People’s Committee (PPC). The third level The PPC. Upon receiving a complaint from the household, the PPC will have 30 days (or 45 days in case of remote and mountainous areas) after receiving the complaint to resolve the case. The PPC is responsible for filing and storing documents for all complaints to be submitted. After the PPC has issued a decision, the household can appeal within 45 days. In case a second decision has been issued and the household is still not satisfied with such decision, they can appeal to the court within 45 days. The PPC will then have to pay the compensation into an account. The Forth level Provincial Court. In case a complainant brings his/her case to a provincial court and the court rules in favor of the complainant, the provincial authorities will have to increase the compensation up to such a rate as may be ruled by the court. In case the court’s ruling is in favor of the PPC, the complainant will be refunded the amount of money that has been paid to the court. The decision ruling the settlement of complaints will have to be sent to complainants and concerned parties, and shall be publicly posted at the headquarters of the People's Committee of the relevant level. The complainant will receive such ruling three days after the result of complaint resolution at the ward / commune / town level has been decided upon and 7 days at the district or provincial level. 82 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) Vietnam Emergency Natural Disaster Reconstruction Project – Phu Yen province Personnel: The environment and resettlement staff chosen by the PPMU will design and maintain a database of the subproject-related complaints from affected households, including information such as: the nature of the complaint, the source and date of receipt of the complaint, the name and address of the complainant, action plan, and current status. For oral complaints, the receiving / mediator board will record these requests in a complaint form at the first meeting with the affected person. Contractor and Construction Supervision Consultant During construction, the GRM will also be managed by the contractors under supervision of the CSC. The contractors will inform the affected communities and communes about the GRM availability to handle complaints and concerns about the subproject. This will be done via the community consultation and information disclosure process under which the contractors will communicate with the affected communities and interested authorities on a regular basis. Meetings will be held at least quarterly, monthly information brochures will be published, announcements will be placed in local media, and notices of upcoming planned activities will be posted, etc. All complaints and corresponding actions undertaken by the contractors will be recorded in subproject safeguard monitoring reports. Complaints and claims for damages could be lodged as follows: - Verbally: direct to the CSC and/ or the contractors’ safeguard staff or representatives at the site offices. - In writing: by hand-delivering or posting a written complaint to specified addresses. - By telephone, fax, e-mails: to the CSC, the contractors’ safeguard staff or representatives. Upon receipt of a complaint, the CSC, the contractors’ safeguard staff or representatives will register the complaint in a complaint file and maintain a log of events pertaining to it thereafter, until it is resolved. Immediately after receipt, four copies of the complaint will be prepared. The original will be kept in the file, one copy will be used by the contractor’s safeguard staff, one copy will be forwarded to the CSC, and the fourth copy to the PPPMU within 24 hours since receipt of the complaint. Information to be recorded in the complaint log will consist of: - The date and time of the complaint. - The name, address and contact details of the complainant. - A short description of the complaint. - Actions taken to address the complaint, including contact persons and findings at each step in the complaint redress process. - The dates and times when the complainant is contacted during the redress process. - The final resolution of the complaint. - The date, time and manner in which the complainant was informed thereof. - The complainant’s signature when resolution has been obtained. Minor complaints will be dealt with within one week. Within two weeks (and weekly thereafter), a written reply will be delivered to the complainant (by hand, post, fax, e-mails) indicating the procedures taken and progress to date. The main objective will be to resolve an issue as quickly as possible by the simplest means, 83 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) Vietnam Emergency Natural Disaster Reconstruction Project – Phu Yen province involving as few people as possible, and at the lowest possible level. Only when an issue cannot be resolved at the simplest level and/ or within 15 days, will other authorities be involved. Such a situation may arise, for example, when damages are claimed, the to-be-paid amount cannot be resolved, or damage causes are determined. World Bank Grievance Redress Mechanism Communities and individuals who believe that they are adversely affected by a World Bank (WB) supported subproject may submit complaints to existing subproject-level grievance redress mechanism or the WB’s Grievance Redress Service (GRS). The GRS ensures that complaints received are promptly reviewed in order to address subproject-related concerns. Subproject affected communities and individuals may submit their complaints to the WB’s independent Inspection Panel which determines whether harms occurred, or could occur, as a result of WB non-compliance with its policies and procedures. Complaints may be submitted at any time after concerns have been brought directly to the WB’s attention, and Bank Management has been given an opportunity to respond. For information on how to submit complaints to the World Bank’s corporate Grievance Redress Service (GRS), please visit www.worldbank.org/grs.
