EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Background: The subproject comprises construction of 6 new water supply systems with a total treatment capacity to serve about 47.716 people. The subproject is located in Long Binh commune- Long My district, Tan Binh commune-Phung Hiep district, Phung Hiep commune –Phung Hiep district, Truong Long A commune- Chau Thanh A district, and Vi Thủy commune- Vi Thuy district. The major land use is for rural residential area and the risk related to UXO is not expected. Water treatment capacity of the systems would range from 750 m3/day to 980 m3/day while serving 47.716 people. Surface and groundwater will be used as the water sources and current water quality appear suitable while the water quantity of groundwater is expected to be adequate. All the water treatment plants will be located near the rural residential area to be served and will not involve any ethnic minorities. The Hau Giang Provincial Center(d) for Rural Water Supply and Sanitation (PCERWAS) will be the subproject owner.

Impacts and mitigations: The project will create positive impacts to rural population. Potential negative impacts during site clearance and construction will be minor, temporary, and localized due to small size of the water supply systems and the nature of rural resident (low population density, low traffic volume). The impacts will be limited to increasing dust, noise, and traffic at the subproject site due to transportation of construction materials which will be small amount. The increase in the waste water from the proposed subproject would be minor and could be managed through the household sanitation to be supported by the project. Total affected households by land acquisition are 10 hhs with 56 people .Total land will be acquired are 7.855 m2. Of which, 203 m2 of residential land, 3394 m2 of garden land, 4058 m2 of agricultural land and 200 m2 of aquacuture land.

Mitigation measures:

To mitigate the impacts due to land acquisition the RAP will prepared and implemented

To mitigate the minor impacts during site clearance and construction the following measures will be carried out in close consultation with local authority and communities;

(1) During preparation of bidding and contract documents PCERWAS of Hau Giang will include the environmental code of practice (ECOP) for construction (Part A and B) in the bidding and contract documents and ensure that contractor is aware of safeguard obligation and commit to comply;

(2) During construction, the PCERWAS will assign field engineer to closely supervise and monitor safeguard performance of contractor and safeguard training will be provided to the staff; In addition a group of national consultant to be hired to assist PCERWAS in implementation of other water supply project will provide technical guidance and training to staff; and

(3) After completion of construction, the PCERWAS will monitor water quantity and quality of groundwater on a monthly basis at least for the first year of the system

operation. Training will be provided to the operation staff as part of normal operation.

Responsibility: The Hau Giang PCERWAS will be responsible for ensuring effective implementation of the mitigation measures, including reporting the implementation progress. The PCERWAS will set up an environment and social unit (ESU) comprising at least one full time staff to be responsible for forging effective implementation of safeguard measures. A group of national consultant will be hired to assist the ESU in performing the safeguard activities under the responsibility of PCERWAS. The Central Project Management Unit (CPMU) and its safeguard consultant will be responsible for periodical monitoring of safeguard measures for the subproject, including providing clarification on issues related to safeguard policies and requirements and safeguard training to the subproject staff.

Budget: - Cost for abbreviated RAP- Cost for implementation of mitigation measures during site clearance and

construction, including consultation with local communities and environmental monitoring as agreed with the local authorities and communities and/or compensation to damage (if any) will be part of the subproject construction cost.

- Cost for supervision of contractor performance will be part of the subproject supervision cost.

- Budget for safeguard training of staff will be part of the subproject management.

I. INTRODUCTION

The Government of Vietnam (GOV) is implementing the Mekong Delta Water Resources Management for Rural Development Project (the Project) during 2011-2016 with financial support from the World Bank (WB or the Bank). The Project will support technical assistance as well as physical investment through a number of subprojects designed to achieve the Project Development Objectives1 through the following components: (1) Water Management Planning and Efficient Utilization, including measures to strengthen institutional capacities at sub-regional and provincial levels, promote effective operations and maintenance, and promote on-farm water use efficiency through pilot schemes; (2) Improvement and Rehabilitation of Water Resources Infrastructure, with emphasis on rehabilitation and minor improvement through canal dredging, and embankment reinforcement, as well as the installation of secondary control sluice gates; (3) Rural Water Supply and Sanitation, aiming to extend reliable services to about 60,000 households in the project area; and (4) Project Management and Implementation Support, supporting incremental operating costs to implement the project and the monitoring and evaluation of project outcomes and impacts. To ensure that the Project activities will not create adverse impacts on local community and local environment three safeguard policy instruments have been established and they will be applied to all the subprojects. These safeguard instruments are (a) the Environment and Social Management Framework (ESMF), (b) the Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF), and (c) the Ethnic Minority Policy Framework (EMPF). The ESMF has been designed to comprise 4 key steps: (a) safeguard screening and impacts assessment, including consultation and preparation of an EIA or environmental commitment as required by the Government; (b) preparation of mitigation measures and documentation; (c) WB clearance; and (d) implementation, monitoring, and reporting.

As part of the Component 3 "Rural Water Supply and Sanitation", about 59 small water supply systems will be built and/or rehabilitated in Can Tho City and the 6 Project provinces. Of these systems 5 new water supply systems will be implemented in Hau Giang province to serve 47.716 people in 6 communes. These six systems have been combined as a subproject Phase 2 and through a safeguard screening (ESMF step1) this subproject is eligible for Project financing. To secure WB’s safeguard clearance, an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) has been prepared (this report) by the subproject owner (the Hau Giang Provincial Center(d) for Rural Water Supply and Sanitation (PCERWAS)) with assistance from a national consultant firm. Implementation of the subproject will require GOV approval of the Environmental Protection Commitment (EPC) and the GOV approval process is on-going.

1The project development objective (PDO) is to protect and enhance the utilization of water resources in the project provinces of the

Mekong Delta Region in order to sustain prior gains in agricultural productivity, provide access to water supply for rural households, and contribute to climate change adaptation.

V. POTENTIAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

5.1. Summary of subproject impact.Positive:

-Implementation of the subproject will serve 47.716 people. At present, there is no water supply service in the project area, so people cannot access to clean water.

-Implementation of the subproject will increase the number of rural population served by clean water and improve the living condition of local residents as well as reduce the risk for exposing to water born diseases (such as eye diseases, diarrhea, petechial fever).

Negative:-The potential negative impacts will be minor due to small size of the water supply systems and nature of rural land use and population density.

-Social impacts (land acquisition, construction, and operation): 10 households will be affected by land acquisition for constructing civil works including residential , garden and agricultural land, the total area 9455.2 m2

-Impacts during construction will be limited to increasing dust, noise, and traffic at the subproject site due to transportation of construction materials which will be small amount.

-The increase in waste water is not considered to be substantial, and would be mitigated adequately through household level sanitation.

5.2 Screening and Identification of Issuesa) Eligibility screening The subproject activities as proposed do not fall into the negative list and therefore eligible for project funding. (b) Identification of issuesThe subproject conducted the technical screening for safeguard issues in line with the criteria provided in the ESMF (Table 5.1) and the results are shown as follows:Table 5.1 Results of screening Safeguard issues likely to be involved

5.3. Potential Negative Impacts and Proposed Mitigation Measures

Table 5.2 summarizes the potential impacts and proposed mitigation measures for the subproject. Minor land acquisition and relocation will be required for construction of water treatment plants (WTPs).The total area is 9455.2 m2, of which Vi Thuy WTP 997.4 m2 , Long Binh WTP 3006.8 m2 , Phung Hiep WTP 1100 m2 ,Tan Binh WTP 1700 m2 , Truong Long A 1051 m2 , Vinh Vien WTP 1600 m2 . This will affect 10 households in the subproject areas However Ethnic minority will not be affected. Construction of water distribution pipeline systems will be made along the existing roads. Detail of six pipeline systems are as below: -Phung Hiep pipeline: total length of 11,226m, uPVC diameter from 40 to 150 mm.-Truong Long A pipeline: total length of 6636m, uPVC diameter from 40 to 150 mm.-Long Binh pipeline: total length of 13,882m, uPVC diameter from 40 to 150 mm.-Tan Binh pipeline: total length of 17,691m, uPVC diameter from 40 to 150 mm.-Vi Thuy pipeline: total length of 6,093m, uPVC diameter from 40 to 100 mm.-Vinh Vien pipeline: total length of 6574m , uPVC diameter from 40to 150 mm.

Extent and nature of the impacts during site clearance and construction will be minor and limited to generation of wastes, dust, noise, and vibration at the construction sites and adverse impact on water pollution, social issues and possible disruption of water supply are not anticipated. All these impacts could be mitigated through the application of an Environmental Code of Practice (ECOP) Parts A and B that has been adjusted for the subproject (Annex 1) with close supervision of field engineer and in close consultation with local authority and community.

The potential impacts during operation of the subproject will be limited to waste generation (treatment sludge) and safety of operators during the water treatment process however the extent of the impacts will be small and can be managed through good housekeeping and training of operators. Potential increase in wastewater generation in the service area would be minor however priority will be given to improve the sanitary condition at household level and/or in the service area through the planning of the sanitation program to be implemented under the project. As part of the system operation, water quality monitoring will be carried out to ensure effectiveness of the water treatment process and safety to the water users, including water quality monitoring at the water source intake.
