INTRODUCTION

Background

This EMP identifies mitigation actions to be carried out under the subproject including the environmental monitoring program and the implementation arrangements, taking into account the need to comply with the Government's EIA regulations, the World Bank's Safeguard Policies and requirements, including the World Bank Environmental, Health, and Safety Guidelines.

The EMP presents a summary of the Ca Mau city project description and brief baseline information of the city, and a summary of the key environmental impacts. The actual EMP actions are based on the assessment of potential negative impacts, as summarized below, and the identification of actions to mitigate these impacts. Implementation management actions, capacity building, and environmental monitoring measures are part of the EMP.

Basis of law, legislation and regulation

The project is required to comply with the prevailing environmental laws in Vietnam, which include the Law on environmental protection No. 52120051QH11 dated 29/1112005, Decrees,

. Circulars, Decisions, standards and regulations of Vietnam on Environment; Circular No. 26/2011ITT-BTNMT dated 18/0412011 of the Minister of Natural Resources and Environment on guidelines for preparation of strategic EIA reports; and Vietnamese standards and regulations. The project must also comply . with the triggered.safeguard.policies. . of the World Bank, as summarized in Table 1 below. Very small areas of natural habitats (secondary urban forests and watercourses) are affected by the project but as these impacts are minor they do not trigger the Natural Habitats policy of the Bank (OP 4.04).

2. BASELINE CONDITIONS

2.1. Geography and natural conditions.

Ca Mau province is located next to Kien Giang province on the north (63 km), Bac Lieu province on the east (75 km) and EastSea on the east and south east, and Gulf of on the west. Ca Mau city is located on the eastern side of Ca Mau province, 394 km from HCMe. The NUUP - MDR will be implemented in 8 wards of Ca Mau city including Wards No.1, 2, 4, 5,6,7,8,9 and Tac Van commune.

The terrain of Ca Mau city is mostly flat with an average elevation of 1.3 m. Ca Mau city climate conditions are characterized by stable tropical monsoon, divided to two distinct seasons: rainy season which prevails from May to November, and dry season which prevails from November to April.

Ca Mau city is situated at the confluence of rivers flowing to the East and WestSeas. The GanhHaoRiver flowing to the EastSea is the largest river in Ca Mau city. The Tac ThuRiver flows to the WestSea. Major canals include the Ca Mau - Bac Lieu canal, the Quan Lo-Phung Hiep canal, and the Rach Rap canal. .

There are several large-sized lakes in the city, playing a significant role in regulating water during heavy rain events. The city's rivers and dmals are significantly affected by tidal regimes of the EastSea connected through the GanhHaoRiver.

--.---- 2.2. Environmental Baseline

Ambient air quality in the subproject area mostly complies with national standards. However in a few locations, dust and S02 concentrations exceed the standards by 1.1 - 1.5 times. This non-compliance is mainly due to local high traffic travel in the area.

The results of surface water sampling in the subproject area indicate that COD and BODS concentrations are above allowable standards, while DO concentrations are below allowable levels. This shows that surfaces are being polluted by uncontrolled wastewater and solid waste discharges from households and other practices in the area. Sampling indicated that ground water quality is generally in good condition.

Sampling analysis shows that, sludge from canals is not contaminated with heavy metals and can be applied to agriculture lands.

2.3. Economic and social conditions

The city population is estimated at 221,926 (2010) with density of 145 persons per km2. The annual population growth rate is 1.26%. Seasonal and part time employment in the subproject area is about 37%. Employment consists mainly of small retailing businesses and family business. In the low income areas of the subproject, residents' living standard are among lowest of the city with average income of around 898,000 VND/month and poverty rate of 17.6%. The total population in the subproject area is 24,578 corresponding to 5,237 households.

There are 11 ethnic groups in the city. The Kinh ethnic group constitutes the majority with 95%, while the Hoa is 3.38%, and Khmer 1.32%.

2.4. Urban infrastructure and services

8

The Ca Mau city transport system is relatively developed comprised of national highways, inter-city transport, with road and waterway routes. The city urban road network has been improved and upgraded recently to meet requirements of Urban Class-II city. However, the developed urban roads are mainly concentrated in the city center.

The city water supply comes from extracting ground water. The water quality is in compliance with national standards. The existing system capacity meets 80% of water demand of urban area and 50% demand of suburban area.

The city water supply network was developed to supply water to households in all primary alleys. However, the pipe system is narrow, degraded and cannot provide enough water for domestic demand. Water meters have not been installed for 20% of household numbers. Some households have to use clean water obtained from neighbors. Clean water is not supplied to some areas, e.g. LIAs in Ward 6, Ward 7 and Tac Van commune. Households in these areas, about 17%, depend on well water.

The city drainage system is a combined system channeling both surface draining and rainwater runoff and sewage. Domestic wastewater from some households is preliminarily treated in septic tanks prior discharging to the drainage system or discharged directly to canals and lakes in the city.

In the subproject area, more than 50% of the households have no connection to the city drainage system. Regarding to residential areas located close to river and canal banks, there is not any connection from household to drainage system of city and these dwellings usually discharge their wastes directly into-the rivers and canals.- -Also,--inrainy-seasons, 34-85% -c---- - --- ------

subproject area is flooded by 30 - 50 cm water depth within Y2 day.

The city URENCO is in charge of solid waste collection, transportation and treatment. Total amount of waste transferred to the city landfill is estimated at 109 tons/day, about 70% of total waste generated. The 59.86 ha landfill is located in An Xuyen ward and is equipped with a wastewater treatment system.

3. SUMMARY OF ASSESSMENT OF NEGATIVE IMPACTS

When the project is completed, the overall impact will be positive. Nevertheless, the project will cause some negative impacts on the local environment a..'1d the local popUlation. Therefore, effective implementation of mitigation measures will be necessary.

The potential negative impacts on the physical, biological, and socio-economic environments are identified using the checklist method, including assessment of the levels of impacts during the preconstruction, construction, and operation phases. Potential negative cumulative social impacts on physical cultural resources (PCR) have been identified separately.

3.1. General Impacts

Based on the analysis of baseline data, field visits, and discussion with key officials and stakeholders, the potential negative impacts on the physical, biological, and socio-economic environment caused by the project have been identified. Table 3 summarizes the potential impacts by the project subcomponents. The level of impacts are assigned as follows: None (N) -no impact; Low (L) - Small works, minor impacts, localized, reversible, temporary; Medium (M) -Small works in urban/sensitive areas, medium scale works with moderate impacts of which most are reversible, reducible and manageable, localized, temporary; High (H) -Medium scale works in small urban Isensitive area, large scale works with significant impacts (socially and/or environmentally) of which some are irreversible and require compensation. The

9

residual impacts of the project, after implementation of mitigation measures discussed in the EMP, are expected to be mostly negligible.

In general, the project activities to be carried out under Component 1 (Tertiary Infrastructure, Upgrading in Low Income Areas), Component 2 (Primary and Secondary Infrastructure Upgrading), and Component 3 (Resettlement Sites) will involve small andlor medium scale civil works. Most of the potential negative impacts are reversible, temporary, and localized and can be mitigated. Mitigation will require the application of good engineering and construction management practices with close supervision and monitoring of contractor performance and consultation with local communities.

3.2. Site - specific impacts assessment

3.2.1. Component 1

1). Impact on Traffic in Alleys

Survey data indicate that over 80% of alleys in LlAsare less than 2.0 m wide, while the remainders of alleys are 2-3 m wide. 30 % of the alleys are unpaved and degraded. The existing alleys are narrow, therefore upgrading activities will affect traffic conditions in alleysas follows:

- Blockage of alley pavement, obstructing local access to households. - Drainage culvert installation and construction will generate 3-5 m3 soil volume per day. Excavation may disrupt alley surfaces, affecting local access. - Waste collection workers may not be able to collect solid waste due to construction activities. - Domestic wastes may be temporarily dumped on the construction site or on the excavated material storage yard.

2). Pollution of Domestic Wastewater from LIAs

The drainage system will be upgraded together with road infrastructure improvement. Domestic wastewater from hOliseholdseptic taiiks will De-collected mid dischatgedlo-the combined drainage culvert system. Drainage and sewage system upgrading will help to solve flooding and environmental sanitation issues in the LIAs. However, quality of surface water sources in Ca Mau city may be negatively impacted unless proper wastewater treatment measures are undertaken, since untreated domestic wastewaters contain organic and diseases causing pollutants.

Ca Mau city is preparing to implement the project titled "Upgrading and Development of the Wastewater Drainage and Treatment System", Phase 1. The project area covers Ward 1, Ward 2, Ward 4, Ward 5, Ward 6, and Ward 9. Wastewater from LlA9, LlAIO, LlAl2 and LlAl6 will not be collected for treatment in Phase 1. Wastewater of these LIAs will be collected and discharged to the common drainage canal for subsequent discharge to the GarthHaoRiver, Rach Rap canal, Ca Mau - Bac Lieu canal and T ac Van ri ver.

Total estimated wastewater volume that will not be treated is about 358 m3/day.

Table 4. Pollution Load in Untreated Domestic Wastewater of some LIA

Table 5.Concentration of pollutants in wastewater of households after septic tank

The calculation shows the concentrations of pollutants in wastewater of resettlement areas are higher than the allowable limits of QCVN 14: 20087B1NMT-Class B also exceeds wastewater quality -6IlIieWorld -Batik . Environmental, Health and Safety Guidelines.

Analysis results of water quality of Rach Rap canal, Ganh Hao River, Ca MauBac Lieu and Tac Van River show that the water is polluted by organic substances. Aquaculture is not developed in these areas. Water sources are used for waterway transport and other purposes those require low quality. The outlet areas are not located in the intake culverts of the city water plants.

The assessmen result of capacity of the above rivers and canals for LIAs' domestic wastewater receiving based on guideline in Circular No. 02/20091TTBTNMT shows that the wastewater receiving capacity of Rach Rap canal, Tac Van River, Ganh Hao River and Ca Mau - Bac Lieu canal was saturated.

3). Inundation caused by Road Elevation

The existing road elevation is + 1.0 m, and the roads are often inundated. Over 30% households in LIAs 9, 16, and 2 are inundated during the rainy season. Localized flooding occurs due to lack of a proper drainage system. Most existing drainage canals are earth canals that are seriously degraded and have low drainage capacity.

Road elevation is +1.5 m, which is higher than the surrounding area. Therefore, further road formation improvementwill cause inundation in the surrounding areas, especially in the rainy season. The total length of allels which will be upgraded and improved is 29,782 m or the equivalent of 139,705 m . Based on the largest monthly rainfall volume of 429 rom in Ca Mau city, the estimated runoff rainwater volume will be around 2,000 m3/day. Proper attention shall be considered for LIA 1, LIA 2, LIA 4 and LIA 17 where the existing inundation ratio is over 80%.

4). Pollution from Solid Waste Transit Yard

Solid wastes are collected from the households· by hand carts and then collected at solid waste transit yards prior to transporting by waste compactor truck to the city landfill. Temporary solid waste storage may cause the following impacts:

Offensive odor from solid waste degradation in the transit yards. - Leachate from solid waste storage may pollutesurrounding water bodies.

Solid wastes will be transported to An Xuyen landfill daily. The transit yard is, a c1osedroof-covered structure, located near greenery zones, and far from residential houses to minimize offensive odors.

Leachate wastewater from transit yards will be drained to canals around the transit yards and subsequently connected to the local drainage system to minimize local impacts.

3.2.2. Component 2

1). Impact on Traffic

a). Construction Activities on Roads

The project's roads upgrading and improvement activities will impede traffic and access of local people. Moreover, a considerable amount of excavated material and construction materials andwaste will be transported to and from the construction site. The estimated total volume is 99,980 m3

. Inland waterwayswill be utilized to transport materials and wastes to and from construction sites for most activities in Component 2.

Large volumesmaterials and waste transported on waterway routes will significantly increase navigation on theGanhHaoRiver and Ca Mau - Bac Lieu canal. The increased transport will result in traffic congestion and possibility of traffic accident

since this waterway is a key transport route of Ca Mau city. Proper management and traffic control will be implemented.

b). Erosion-proof Embankmentin GanhHaoRiver and Ca Mau - Bae Lieu canal

About 2,079 m length of the erosion-proof embankment will be constructed along GanhHaoRiver and Ca Mau - Bac Lieu canal using RC revetment piles. It is estimated that 2,088 piles will be needed, with average length of 8 m/pile. Bargeswill be used to transport piles; each barge with a capacity of 100 tons (30 mxS.5m). 50 barge trips will be required. Moreover, barges will be utilized to drive pre-stressed RC revetment pile, and this process will temporarily impede traffic on these two navigation channels.

GanhHaoRiver is the class III river route with a minimum 50 mnavigation width, 5 m safety corridor on each side, and 4.7 m navigation clearance. Ca Mau - Bac Lieu canal is a class III canal route, 30 m navigation wide,S m safety corridor on each side and 7 m navigation clearance. These are the two main waterway transport routes of Ca Mau city. Proper construction plans shall be implemented to minimize waterway transport impacts during the construction process.

2). Odor of Dredged Materials

. The "dredged organic materialsvolume is estimated at 4,3I9n?for the Tinh Doi Road development. Offensive odors from the dredgedmaterialsmay affect local communities along the road transporting this waste. The offensive odor results from the formation of inorganic gasses, such as mercaptan and other compounds (organic acid, Phenol and p-cresol). Proper mitigation measures shall be taken to reduce offensive odors.

3.2.3. Component 3

1). Dust Pollution from Land Leveling

About 296,656 m3 of soil and sand will be required for land leveling at the local resettlement site. It is estimated that 57,640 kg of dust will be created during the construction period, which is assumed to be 1 month.

Using rough calculation methods, the average dust concentration can be estimated to be as high as 21.6 mg/m3

• Compared to the dust standard of 0.3 mg/m3 (QCVN 05: 20091BTNMT) and 0.05 mg/m3 (Ambient Air Quality of WB EHS) , the average dust concentration exceeds the standard significantly. This is a worst case dust concentration calculation only and the expected dust concentration will be much lower due to dispersion.

2). Impact on Traffic

Activities of Component 3 will impact local traffic due to transportation of large volumes of construction materials and wastes. The estimated transport volume is 343,1l6m3

, including 296,656m3 sand for land leveling and 46,460m3 construction waste. There are only two primary transportation routes, namely Lam Thanh Mau

Road and Quan Lo Phung Hiep Canal. However, waterway traffic is somewhat restricted due to residential quarters along Quan Lo Phung Hiep canal. It is assumed that 15 ton-capacity truck with 10m3 volume will be utilized to transport materials, requiring an estimated 34,31ltrips. Lam Thanh Mau Road is narrow (3.5 m roadbed and 5x2m sidewalk),therefore construction material transport will affect local traffic, possibly causing traffic congestion. Proper traffic management measures shall be undertaken to minimize impacts.

3). Inundation in Surrounding Zones

The local resettlement site is located at Ring Road 2 social housing zone, Ward 4, Ca Mau city, where terrain is relatively low and comprising some deep ponds. The elevation varies around +1.0 m. A drainage system is not developed in this area. The area will be built up to an elevation of + 1.5 m. The increased elevation may cause local flooding in surrounding lower areas, specifically the residential zones along Quan Lo Phung Hiep canal. Proper drainage measure shall be considered to prevent flooding of local areas.

4). Domestic Wastewater Pollution

912 households, consisting of an estimated at 3,500 persons, will be relocated. The estimated domestie_\Va~te\Vater volume is 336 m3/day based on the av~rage. wastewater volume of 96 liters/day/person.

If domestic wastewater is not treated or received primary treatment in 3~compartment septic tanks, the concentration of pollutants in the domestic wastewater will exceed the limits of regulation QCVN 14:20081BTNMT (Column B, K = 1.0)a1so wastewater quality of the World Bank Environmental, Health and Safety Guidelines. The domestic wastewater contains degradable organic substances, E.Coli bacteria and other pathogens which could pollute the receiving waters unless it is further treated. The receiving water body is the Quan Lo Phung Hiep canal.

5). Domestic Solid Waste

It is estimated that each person will generate 0.3-0.5 kg domestic waste per day. With an estimated population of 3,500, the total domestic waste volwne will be 1,050 to 1,750 kg per day. Proper waste collection and treatment will be undertaken to ensure sanitary conditions in the resettlement site.

3.3. Socio~economic Impacts

Land acquisition and resettlement will involve 8 wards (including Wards No.1, 2, 4, 5,6, 7, 8, 9) and Tac Van commune ofCa Mau city.

Detailed information regarding the nature and scale of the impacts and proposed mitigation measures are provided in the "Resettlement Plan" (RP) report which was prepared separately.

There are no indigenous people affected by the Ca Mau City subproject. Based on the RP, the impacts due to land acquisition and resettlement include the following:

3.5. Cumulative Impacts

- Safety: Upgrading of canal/culvert may result in unsafe localized situations for students and local people, especially during rainy days, periods of material loading, or during religious events at a odalchurches. - Encroaching facility land; - Internment in other locations may be re uired

A project titled "Wastewater Sewage and Treatment System Improvement and Development of Ca Mau city, Phase I" is currently under ODA negotiation and design bidding. The project will invest in the following:

- Development of drainage systems in Zone 1 (Ward 5, 6, 7 and North east zone), Zone 2 (Wards 1,2,4,9), and Zone III (Ward 8 and Ly Van Lam commune). - The wastewater collection system will cover Ward 1, Ward 2, Ward 4, Ward 5, Ward 6, and Ward 9. - The wastewater treatment plant will have a capacity of 8,000m3/day.

The affected zones of the City Drainage and Wastewater Treatment System DeVelopment Phase 1 comprise LIAs 1, LIA 2, LIA 3, LIA 4, LIA 5, LIA 6, LIA 7, LIA 8, LIA 11, LIA 13, LIA 14, LIA 15, LIA 17, LIA 18 and the local resettlement site. The wastewater drainage system of these zones will be connected to the project network in order to transfer all collected wastewater for treatment in the wastewater treatment plant. The estimated wastewater volume of these areas is around 2,700 m3/day. This is a positive accumulated impact.

The ODA project has not yet commenced, as negotiation and design bidding are currently on-going. Timing of implementation is still highly uncertain and will likely not coincide with the implementation of the subproject supported under the MDRUUP.

Another facility that is considered ancillary aspect of the MDR-UUP subproject is the An Xuyen Landfill, an existing landfill about 59.86 hectares in size. The landfill will accept the dredged materials (4,319 m3, total volume) coming from the dredging of Tinh Doi Canal. Phase 1 of the landfill was reportedly completed between 2008-2011 and phase 2 is to start in 2012 (construction of compo sting plant, leachate treatment system, among others). Due diligence work conducted by the PMU indicated a number of non-compliance to environmental standards and measures such as: (i) the landfill does not meet the requirements for lining; (ii) no embankment of the landfill; (iii) no green buffer zone; (iv) no leachate treatment system, which is planned to be installed under the phase 2; and (v) incomplete access road. All of these structures/facilities are planned to be implemented in the phase 2, which is still securing financing. Timing of implementing phase 2 therefore is highly uncertain.

4. MITIGATION MEASURE

This chapter identifies measures to mitigate the key negative project impacts during construction (which include site clearance, ground leveling, and construction) and operation. Given that most key impacts will occur due to civil works and transportation of construction/waste materials, many of the potential negative impacts on physical, biological, and social environment can usually be mitigated through a set of general measures that are typically applied to construction projects to minimize impacts such as noise, dust, traffic disruption, wastewater generation, etc. As part of the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for the project these general measures have been transformed into a set of standard environmental specification that will be incorporated into all bidding and contract documents of the project. These measures are referred to as Environmental Codes of Practice (ECOPs), and they will be applied to mitigate typical and general impacts of the project's civil works. The scope and content of the ECOPs are presented below.

ECOPs are a set of actions and measures to mitigate the general negative impacts during construction. They describe typical actions to be taken by contractors, supervised by the construction supervision consultants (CSC) during construction, and monitored by the communities and the Independent Environmental Monitoring Consultant (IEMC). These ECOPs also cover the applicable provisions under Section 4.0 on Construction and Decommissioning of the IFC-World Bank Group Guidelines for Environmental, Health, and Safety . (EHS). The detailed ECOPs will··.be--..... --.------.. -incorporated into the bidding and contract documents (BD/CD) during the detailed design stage. The scope and content of the ECOPs is limited to construction activities for small and medium-size contract works. The impacts of such works are of limited extent, are temporary and reversible, and can be managed readily with good construction practices.

The ECOP measures identify typical mitigation actions for the following types of impacts:

- Dust generation

Air pollution - Impacts from noise and vibrations - Water pollution - Drainage and sedimentation control - Management of stockpiles, quarries, and borrow pits

Solid waste management - Management of dredged materials - Disruption of vegetative covers and ecological resources - Traffic management

Interruption of utility services - Restoration of affected areas - Workers' and public safety

Communication with local communities - Chance finds of cultural or archeological artifacts

The detailed ECOPs (Annex 1) are cross-referenced to the respective equivalent Vietnamese regulations, standards, and codes of practice.

If impacts require site-specific mitigation measures that are not adequately covered in these generic ECOPs, they must be addressed separately in the EMP. For example, the above ECOPs do not cover impacts from worker camps - assuming they would not generally be needed for small urban works projects - and impacts from large works, such as dams, bridges, tunnels, and major roads. The ECOPs cover small dredging operations; however, operations generating very large amounts, or seriously contaminated, sludge would need to be handled through a separate set of measures outside of the scope of these ECOPs, such as in a dredging and materials management plan (DMMP Annex 2). Social impacts caused by involuntary resettlement or involving ethnic minorities are addressed in other safeguard instruments.

5. MANAGEMENT AND MONITORING PROGRAM

Prepared as a part of the EIA, an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is a safeguards instrument that is typically used in many projects. It consists of information on, and guidance for, the process of mitigating and managing adverse environmental impacts throughout project implementation. Typically in Vietnam, an EMP comprises a list of typical mitigation measures to be carried out by contractors and others, an environmental monitoring program, capacity building, organizational arrangements and responsibilities, and the estimated cost of EMP implementation and monitoring.

-There is a comprehensive regulatory-frarn:eworkinVietnam related to-EIA-ptepatation~environmental standards, protection and management of forests and cultural property, and other aspects related to construction and operation of facilities and infrastructures in Vietnam. This EMP in consistent with these regulations.

To facilitate effective implementation of the EMP, the PMU will: (a) Establish an Environment and Social Unit (ESU) responsible for ensuring timely implementation of the EMP, including monitoring, reporting, and capacity building related to safeguards; (b) Assign the Construction Supervision Consultant (CSC) to also be responsible for supervision of the contractor's safeguard performance as part of the construction contract and this requirement will be included in the CSC's terms of reference; and (c) One Independent Environmental Monitoring Consultant (JEMC) is hired by PMU" MOC to assist the ESUs in performing its task.

Ca Mau City Water Supply Company, URENCO, and the Department of Transport will be responsible for implementation of the mitigation measures during the operation stage of the project and they will ensure that the mitigation measures are implemented and adequate budget is provided. The Provincial Steering Committee (PSC) chaired by the Chairman or Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee (PCP) will provide the overall policy guidance and oversight of the project implementation. Roles and responsibilities of the specialized agencies and the Departments of Planning and Investment and Natural Resources and Environment (DONRE) will also be critical.

There are two main parts to this EMP. Firstly, the City will use Urban Construction Environmental Codes of Practice (ECOPs) for urban construction works. Environmental codes of practice (ECOPs) are mitigation measures for generic impacts from project activities during the construction phase; they must be included in the bidding docmnents as requirements directed to the construction contractor. ECOPs are

not a fonnally recognized World Bank safeguards instrument but their use, as part of an EMP, is a convenient and effective way to ensure that the main generic, cominon and typical construction impacts are adequately mitigated during project implementation.

If impacts require site-specific mitigation measures that are not adequately covered in these generic ECOPs, they will be addressed separately in the EMP. These ECOPs also do not cover impacts (i) from worker camps (camps will not be needed for small and medium urban infrastructure projects), (ii) from large works, such as dams, tunnels, large road and bridge projects (which are not part of this project). Social impacts caused by involuntary resettlement or involving ethnic minorities are addressed in other, social safeguard instruments. The ECOPs cover dredging operations producing relatively small amounts of sludge, whilst very large amounts or seriously contaminated sludge would need to be handled through a separate set of procedures outside of the scope of -these ECOPs.

Activities carried out to mitigate impacts due to land acquisition and resettlement is presented in separate safeguard documents (in the RPF and RP); they will be carried out and monitored separately.

Also included in the EMP are related measures, above and beyond actual mitigation measures. This includes the PMUs' EMP program, including capacity building and

.... ~afeguarg training; Md environmeJ;ltalmonitoring.

5.1. Environmental management program

5.1.1. Management of impact on project sites

Table 8presents site-specific impacts and mitigation measures that are not fully addressed through the application of ECOPs. This may be because the impact is not a typical one and is not included in the ECOPs, because the severity of the impact goes beyond the scope of the mitigation measures in the ECOPs, or because simply of the very specific nature of the mitigation measure that is needed.

5.2. Environment Monitoring Program

The Environmental Monitoring Program is a key element of the EMP. Its main objective is to check and ensure that (a) the potential negative impacts ofthe project are minimized; (b) the EMP is effectively implemented; and (c) the EMP is adequate to mitigate the potential negative impacts. Given that monitoring the implementation of the RP will be conducted separately, the environmental monitoring program will comprise (a) monitoring the safeguards perfonnance of the contractors during site clearance and construction, (b) environmental quality monitoring, ( c) monitoring the effectiveness of the EMP.

It is essential to design the monitoring program - in conjunction with the selected monitoring locations, parameters and frequencies - in such a manner to be able to record both, the overall perfonnance of the project works as well as the short-tenn impacts due to construction activities. The environmental monitoring program will be implemented during construction at three levels:

• Monitoring the level of compliance with mitigation measures, • Monitoring the environmeQ.tal parameters set out in the EIAs for each of the

works, and • Community-based monitoring.

Monitoring of Contractor's Safeguard Performance ______ :' ___________ "_

Three levels of environmental safeguards monitoring will be implemented as follows:

- Routine monitoring: This will be done by the Construction Supervision Consultant (CSC) as assigned by the PPMUs. The CSC will include the environmental monitoring results in the monthly project progress reports.

- Periodic monitoring: This will be done every six months as part of the overall monitoring of the EMP implementation. The environmental and social unit (ESU) of the PPMUs, assisted by the Independent Environmental Monitoring Consultant (IEMC) will also monitor the contractor perfonnance every six months and the results will be reported to the PPMU s and the WB.

- Community monitoring: Monitoring by local communities will be conducted following Government practices, with technical and management support from thePPMU.

To ensure an acceptable level of environmental quality, monitoring of dust, noise, vibration, air quality, and water quality will be made at project-specific locations that are likely to be most affected by the construction activities. Specific monitoring locations may also be requested by local authorities andlor communities for specific purposes. ESU/IEMC will have overall responsibility for the monitoring program.

The following are the key issues, criteria and scope of monitoring that will be taken into account in the implementation ofthe monitoring program:

General Construction Impacts: local flooding; traffic congestion andlor disruption, especially in residential areas; air quality, and noise and dust levels in residential areas; surface water quality upstream and downstream of construction sites, with specific attention paid to impacts on local residents;

33

Implementation of site-specific EMPs that require specific monitoring activities that are not covered by the ECOPs nor by the Vietnamese lregulations, standards and codes. Such monitoring activities will be as agreed with local agencies and communities during the preparation of the EMP and monitoring program.

Implementation of Dredged Materials Management Plan (DMMP): for all sludge and similar material excavated from the project work sites that exceeds the national thresholds for toxic substances, a site-specific DMMP will be used.Amounts, levels of heavy metals, if any, locations and activities at disposal sites, and impacts on local residents will be monitored, based on a water quality monitoring plan with specific stations and parameters for monitoring impacts on other water users.

- Monitoring the Effectiveness of the EMP: The ESU assisted by IEMC will monitor the overall performance of the EMP implementation during the detailed design/bidding stage as well as during construction and the first year operation of the facilities to ensure that (a) appropriate dredging and disposal of drainage sludge is properly carried out, in accordance with the DMMP, (b) other impacts identified in the EMP are effectively managed and mitigated; (c) traffic management is adequate and the levels of impacts are acceptable, i.e. there are no new complaints nor any outstanding cases, and (d) all typical general impacts are mitigated in accordance with the ECOPs. Results are to be kepfiIi tIle' projec{file for possible review by PPMt1 and tlleWB:-Cosffor the . monitoring will be part of the PPMU cost.

The following tables outline the parameters for the part of the monitoring program that is performed by sampling and testing air, soil I sediment, and water quality, and also measures noise levels and any other pertinent ambient parameters, if needed. Its estimated cost considering that some activities will be carried out (i) before construction (project baseline environmental conditions), (ii) during construction (assmned to take five years), and (iii) during the first year of operation. Detailed monitoring programs will be prepared during the detailed design stage. The estimated cost for monitoring forms part of the EMP costs; the costs for sampling and laboratory testing will be included in the CSCs' contracts. Many of the parameters listed below are required by Vietnamese regulations and would need to be done even if they are not directly related to expected project impacts.

5.3.2. Specific Responsibilities of PMU, CSC, and IEMC

City-level Project Management Units (PPMUs)

1. PPMUs are responsible for implementing the EMP during the detailed design and construction stages. EMP implementation during operation stage is the responsibility of the facilities' operators at the city level. PPMU will set up an Environmental and Social Unit (ESU) to ensure timely and effective implementation of the EMP, including preparation of reports on safeguard compliance as required by Government and WB.

PPMUIESUs are responsible for ensuring that the relevant sections in the bidding and contract documents for all construction works are in compliance

with the EMP; this means they contain the requirements of the ECOPs and sitespecific EMPs.

PPMUIESUs are responsible for communicating with relevant local, provincial and national departments; and with the agencies responsible for implementing and supervising EMP, especially with the provincial Department of Natural Resources and Environment (DONRE), and with the concerned wards/communes during planning, monitoring, management and operation.

PPMUIESUs will coordinate with community organizations to encourage them to actively participate in the planning, management, and implementation of the project, including monitoring of the contractor's performance.

To ensure effective monitoring and timely implementation of the EMP, PPMUIESUs will hire national environmental consultants to assist them with carrying out and monitoring the EMP implementation. Responsibilities of the Independent Environmental Monitoring Consultant (IEMC) are described further below.

- In the course of supervising and monitoring the contractors' performance, PPMUs will be responsible for: (a) checking project implementation indicators relating to the environment; (b) conducting unscheduled, surprise inspections to ensure that mitigation measures are being implemented as required in construction contract by contractor; (c) reviewing the periodic reports of the

- Recommend to PPMUs to suspend partially or completely construction work if labor safety and environmental protection requirements of the contract are not being complied with.

Organize regular discussions with relevant parties, agencies and other stakeholders to provide information about implementation plans to increase people's awareness of the need for environmental protection and management during construction process.

Construction Contractor

The construction contractor's responsibilities with respect to all aspects of the works, including the environmental aspects, are set out in the contract documents, signed with the PPMU.

Construction contractors are responsible for carrying out environmental impact mitigation measures and for complying with the approved EMP when implementing construction contracts. When preparing the ''technical method statement", the contractor will study the project's approved EIA report and propose a construction method that includes environmental mitigation and monitoring measures that are in line with the approved EMP.

Contractor's method statement will be submitted to PPMUs and CSC for review, as well as to IEMC, as deemed necessary. Changes, if any, will be

._~ __ ~ __ ~____._evaluated for their feasibility and for legal issues~(laws,_decrees, __ circulars_and ____ ~ __ ... ___ _ other regulations) before suitable adjustments are approved for specific cases on-site.

During the construction work, the· construction contractors will be closely supervised by PPMUs, CSC, IEMC, environmental authorities and the local community for their compliance with the EMP.

Independent Environmental Monitoring Consultant (IEMC)

The IEMC will be responsible for assisting the PPMU with the EMP implementation. This also includes advising the CSC, contractors and communities on environmental compliance, and on carrying out the monitoring program in accordance with regulations, procedures and policies of the Government and the WB, respectively. After the detailed implementation of the environmental monitoring programs was discussed by the city-level PPMU and World Bank supervision staff, the IEMC will be responsible for quarterly checking, and for supporting the PPMU staff to supervise overall project activities to ensure that uniform environmental policies of the Government and World Bank are applied and supervised during project implementation. The IEMC will be responsible for: (1) providing training and capacity building for construction management PPMUIESU staff, including field engineers andlor consultants (CSC), in supervising the EMP implementation by the contractors; (2) ensuring active participation of the local communities and schools in the project areas, (3) monitoring of environmental parameters to assess the overall impacts of the project, and (4) establish the environmental training program that is part of Component 4.

Specifically, the IEMC's responsibilities include:

- Ensuring that the approved EMP and all other relevant project legal agreements related to environmental safeguards are fully applied and complied with during project implementation.

Assessing the effectiveness of mitigation measures which are applied by contractors and CSC during project implementation; providing proposals and recommendations to the PPMUs on improvements needed to meet the safeguard requirements.

5.3.3. Reporting Arrangements

The PPMU will prepare reports twice per year for submission to the WB, including a report on compliance with the EMP. The report will contain the monitoring results and assessments by the IEMC that show project progress and the status of implementation of the EMP. The reports will cover, among other matters as appropriate, the following:

Contractor's compliance with mitigation measures Wastewater and environmental sanitation issues Existing flooding situation, where relevant Traffic congestion or disruption Performance of the water supply systems Quality of wastewater-receiving water bodies Potential project-related risks and risk management issues Quality of water in rivers and lakes Status of measures to assist project-affected people at the new resettlement sites on environmental aspects Consultation with local communities in key project areas

5.4. CapacityBuildingProgram

5.4.1. TeclmicalAssistance supportfor tlte implementation of safeguards An assessment of safeguards implementation capacity of existing PPMU staff indicates that PPMU staffs have limited knowledge on WB safeguard requirements as well as limited knowledge of environment and social issues. Such lack of capacity represents a

risk to project implementation of safeguards requirements contained in the EMP 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 PMU during the implementation of the safeguards requirements. The technical assistance will provide the necessary technical support the PPMU in its work with contractors as well as other entities involved in the implementation of the EMP. 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 project as well as training that covers both specific knowledge on safeguard procedures and requirement for the project staff, 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, esc and relevant staffs of PPMU (environmental staffs and coordinators of packages) to do their tasks. -It would also include assisting the PPMU's environmental staffs with the review of contract documents on the bidding packages for construction items of the project to ensure compliance with environmental protection policies and impact mitigation and monitoring requirements as well as provide general environmental guidance as requested by the PPMU to enhance overall project 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 during the first 3 years of the project _ implemeI1tati0I?-~_Il!e .. ~. safegu~d speci~ists.will~articip£l~~. ~~t!!~.~._,-_~_. ___ .. _ capacity building in particular in the training activities as appropriate.

5.4.2. Training programs proposed

Table 14below provides examples of the basic trainings for safeguards during project implementation. The training programs will. be developed and delivered by the Technical Assistance team for the implementation of safeguards for the PPMU training. The PPMUIIEMe with the support of the Technical Assistance team for the implementation of safeguards will provide the training to contractors, esc and other groups. Other more specific and tailored training will be developed and agreed upon between PMU, IEMe and the Technical Assistance team for the implementation of safeguards during project implementation based upon a reassessment of needs and the status of safeguards implementation.

- Target groups for the training: include PPMU staff, ESU staff, field engineers, esc, construction contractors, local authorities and community representatives in the project 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 SUbproject/contracts.

- Training frequency: The basic training programs proposed in table 14will take place every six months on a yearly basis and its content updated and adapted to implementation issues. Training frequency and content will be reassessed during implementation depending on needs. It is foreseen that the training program for PPMU staff will continue until year three of implementation. Three days of

training for CSC and contractors are also planned to take place twice a year on an arinual basis for at least two years.

5.5. Estimated EMP Cost -The costs of EMP implementation will comprise (i) cost of implementation of the mitigation measures by the contractors, (ii) costs of supervision by the CSC, (iii) cost

--for environmental monitoring consultant-(IEMC), (iv) costsofmonitering environmental quality, (v) PPMU safeguard management costs, including technical assistance support for the implementation of safeguards and training. They exclude all resettlement cost and all costs for independent monitoring of the RP and EMDP implementation.

Costs for the implementation of the mitigation measures during construction will be part of the contract costs while the costs for the supervision and monitoring of all construction contractors by the CSC is provided for in the construction supervision contracts. Costs for PPMU operations related to EMP are provided for in the project management budget of the PPMU, including basic safeguards training and allowances for all staff who participate in the monitoring program. After project completion, the cost for environmental monitoring of the constructed facilities will be funded by the cities' operations and maintenance budgets.

The participation of community representatives in EMP implementation is voluntary, and without salary. Hence, to encourage the participation of community members, the cost for materials, equipment used for monitoring and rewards for people who are voted to implement monitoring are taken into account.

The table below shows the sources of funding for the EMP implementation, including the environmental quality monitoring program.

ANNEX 2: Guidelines for the Preparation of a Dredged Materials Management Plan (DMMP) for Contaminated Sludge

To ensure that dredging, transportation, and disposal of contaminated sludge will not create adverse impacts on local residents and the environment, a guideline for the preparation of a DMMP is provided below. If during the environmental assessment stage, contaminated material is identified in the water body to be excavated, the detailed design will include a comprehensive testing program and the development of a DMMP, reflecting the guidelines below. The detailed DMMP shall be prepared by the contractor in consultation with the PMU and the World Bank prior to commencement of civil works.

The main environmental and social issues related to contaminated dredged materials are: (a) pollution during the transport of the dredged materials from the, dredging site to the disposal area; (b) potential increase in turbidity and pollution of the ambient water in the lakes/canals during dredging; (c) odors and other nuisance to local residents; and (d) potential improper use of contaminated sludge for public infrastructure works' or in residential areas. To facilitate the preparation of a DMMP given that the activities will be carried out in an urban area and/or in an existing water body that may be used by other

- --water users, the following-important aspects must be considered: - . -------------------- --~------- -.-------.

• Assess the quality of the sediments. This assessment must be carned out to confirm that the sediments do not include large amounts of environmentally harmful materials, such as heavy metals and/or other toxic substances. If the materials are found to be above the thresholds for heavy metal~ or toxic substances stipulated by the national standards, a special disposal plan should be prepared, together with a monitoring plan. The special disposal plan should also include a program to protect the residents in nearby communities from using the dredged materials for house construction or gardening. The bottom sediment/sludge samples will be analysed for key pollutants according to the Vietnamese national standards. The sampling and analytical methods should be in line with the Go V regulations while the number of sampling locations will depend on the risk levels for each specific site. The number of samples to be analysed will be determined by the proposed volume of dredging as follows:

Volume of Dredged Material in m3 No. of Sediment Samples

Up to 25,000 3

25,000 to 100,000 4-6

100,000 to 500,000 6-10

500,000 to 2,000,000 10-20

For each 1,000,000 above 2,000,000 Additional 10

• Identify the land available for the disposal of the dredged materials. The DMMP should identify the landfill sites and/or land that would be suitable for the disposal of dredged materials in line with the level of risks associated with it. Public land, land

for construction of rural roads or other public works, or private land, may be used, if the affected landowners agree. If the risks due to contamination of the sludge are high, the sludge must be disposed of at sanitary landfills.

• Prepare a dredging and transport plan. The dredging procedures and transport plan will outline the following: (a) dredging methods (pipeline, water pumping before digging, etc.), mode of transport to the disposal areas and/or temporary storage sites. If trucks are used, indicate proposed transport routes from the dredging site to the disposal area, (b) time and hours of operation, (c) types of barges or vehicles/trucks and proposed measures to reduce the leakage of the dredged materials from the transport trucks, (d) contractors' responsibilities for cleaning the roads and carry out remedial works if necessary, and (e) a communication plan for the nearby communities, including contact numbers for lodging complaints.

• Temporary storage/disposal for uncontaminated sediment/mud The dredged materials are in a mud-like state before settling for 24 - 48 hours. All drainage water from the temporary storage on land shall be discharged back to the canal/lakes. For highly contaminated sludge, or sludge containing organic materials that generate strong odors, the dredged materials should be hauled by closed tanker trucks away from the ~~onstruction site as soon -as· possible;~-For-bottom sediments· with a ~low -content~-----~----------organic materials, the dredged sediments will be transported to a containment area which is appropriately located and properly designed and of an adequate size. A monitoring plan for tracking the disposal of highly contaminated materials, if any are present, will also be prepared.

• Identify key areas and/or facilities (businesses, schools, public services, etc.) that are sensitive to dredging and transport of dredged materials. The DMMP shall include an inventory / analysis of the potentially affected local businesses, access to water, and transport due to the dredging operations, and provide a plan to mitigate and/or compensate for the disturbances. The plan should include all measures necessary to avoid impacts on local transportation and water supply, and access to local residents as much as possible.

• Identify other water users. In areas where dredging may cause negative impacts to these water users, the respective subproject owner is required to inform/consult them and develop a series of actions to address their concerns, including water quality monitoring in the DMMP.
