I. INTRODUCTION

1.1. Project background

The Secondary Green Cities Development Project (the project) will support environmentally

sustainable and socially inclusive development in the cities of Vinh Yen, Hue, and Ha Giang

in Viet Nam to enhance their economic competitiveness. It will (i) control urban stormwater

runoff and reduce flood risks, (ii) improve sanitation for public health, (iii) enhance green

landscaping and public amenities, (iv) upgrade urban road networks and their connectivity,

and (v) promote public participation in planning. The project will demonstrate green and

climate-resilient development approaches that will be scaled up for nationwide secondary

green city development in Viet Nam.

The Hue subproject (Output 2 of the Project) will deliver the three components: (i) Improving

the drainage capacity, water environment, and livability of the inner and surrounding areas of

the Citadel by upgrading 21.9 km of drainage pipelines, rehabilitating 15.9 km of road

pavement and drainage, and dredging 6.2 ha of water-retention ponds; (ii) Protecting 9.0 km

of river embankments with environment-friendly materials and improved public access; (iii)

enhancing 17.2 ha of green spaces and landscaping for public amenities; and (iv) extending

access to a clean water supply to the poor Phu Son commune. The urban road connectivity

and tourist access improvement component will connect missing links of the urban road

network to a 7.2 km road and three bridges to reduce traffic congestion and improve access

for increasing numbers of tourists. The green flagship grant component will involve

consultations with climate-vulnerable communities to identify their needs, and will fund the

required equipment procurements, small works, and activities.

1.2. Project objectives

Long-term objectives:

- Improve and expand the transportation network, step by step complete synchronous

urban infrastructure; Meanwhile, it will create a driving force for urban development,

promote the development of trade and service business, exploit tourism potentials, as

well as create employment opportunities to increase people’s income.

- Improve environmental sanitation conditions and urban environmental landscape,

thereby improve the health and living quality for the people.

Short-term objectives:

- Improve environmental infrastructure including drainage systems, embankments and

dredging for better flood prevention; management of water supply, sanitation and

wastewater; upgrade solid waste treatment facilities to improve environmental

conditions.

- Contribute to refurbish the urban cities to become clean and green and develop in

accordance with the National Strategy on Green Growth period 2014-2020 by the

Government.

- Upgrade urban road networks and their connectivity.

4.2. Health and Satety

Contractors of packages HU-CW01; HU-CW04 and HU-CW05 have implemented mitigation

measures in the EMP to ensure safety and health for workers and the community. The work

camps requirements are fully followed by the contractors.

There have been no safety incidents on the construction sites during the reporting period and

no incidents affecting workers' health. Construction supervision consultants are regularly

present at the site to inspect, supervise and remind contractors about the implementation of

safety measures.

Some of the safety issues at the construction site have not been fully complied with, and

more solutions are listed in the Table. Health and Safety Issues.

4.3. Environment quality monitoring Monitoring plan

The environmental monitoring plan is focused on the ongoing construction activities at each

package and includes environmental indicators, locations, sampling frequencies, and data

collection methods. The purpose of the monitoring plan is to determine the effectiveness of

the mitigation measures, and to record any unintended positive or negative environmental

impacts of the subproject.

For the monitoring plan in the reporting period, the number of concentrated monitoring

samples in 3 packages includes HU-CW01; HU-CW04 and HU-CW05.

The monitoring requirements presented in the Environmental Monitoring Plan also include

the requirements specified in EIA, IEE and EMP reports of subproject..

4.4. Monitoring activities in the reporting period

During the reporting period from October to December 2019, the contractors signed a

contract with the subcontractor, the Center for Natural Resources and Environment

Monitoring of Thua Thien Hue Province to plan taking monitor sampling of environmental

indicators according to the updated EMP monitoring plan of subproject.

Detailed monitoring sampling outlines have been developed for the packages HU-CW01,

HU-CW04; HU-CW05 are the Contractors that commenced the construction. Analytical

sampling was conducted in the fourth quarter of 2019. For the remaining packages, due to

the evaluation of bidding and have not been signed contracts with contractors yet, the outline

of monitoring and sampling will be prepared and submitted by the Contractor later and

described in the next semi-annual reports of the subproject.

The contractor's construction site supervision activities are regularly conducted by the Project

Supervision and Management Consultancy (PMCS). When detecting a problem of non-

compliance, the supervision consultant will make a Site Instruction requesting the contractor

to fix it and send it to the PMU at the same time.

V. COMMUNITY CONSULTATION, INFORMATION DISCLOSURE AND GRIEVANCE

REDRESS MECHANISM

5.1. GRM organization:

The PMU has made the information disclosure about ADB's grievance redress mechanism

on the province's television and broadcasting.

Specifically, on August, 9th, 2019, PMU issued an official letter No. 122/BC-BQLDA to the

local authorities in the project-affected area about the public coordination of ADB's grievance

redress mechanism to the GreenCity project community to implement information disclosure

to all households, communities of affected areas on the Contract Package HU-CW05:

“Pavement, Drainage and Lighting in An Van Duong New Urban Area” and package HU-

CW01 “Water Supply to Phu Son Villages and Municipal Solid Waste Treatment Facility -

Hương Thuy town” on letter no 125/BC-BQLDA.

More ever, on December, 18th, 2019, information disclosure of contract package HU-CW04”

Park, Path, and Square of Provincial Administration Center” has been sent to relevant parties

on Official letter no 280/BC-BQLDA.

VI. SUMMARY OF ENVIRONMENT COMPLIIANCE DURING MONITORING PERIOD

The contractor should have water pumping in the foundation pit to ensure safety for construction workers and electrical safety.

VII. CONCLUSION

Compliance with the Environmental Management Plan of the subprojects is being fully

implemented by the PMU in coordination with the parties. During the implementation of the

36

contract from October 2019 to the end of December 31, 2019, environmental documents and

processes such as CEMP, Outline of monitoring and sampling of environmental analysis,

Monthly report, the approval process for the above-mentioned products is discussed and

resolved by PMU, Environmental Specialist of PMCS in collaboration with related

contractors. However, in order to achieve greater effectiveness in the implementation of the

environmental management plan, there are some recommendations:

- Require serious contractors to make monthly reports to the Consultant and PMU to

promptly grasp the issues and provide solutions. The Contractor's monthly

Environmental Report should be timely updated and completed by the 15th of the

following month or submitted earlier depending on the progress of the PMCS semi-

annual report or other progress reports as requested by PMU and ADB.

- Request the Contractor and the Consultant to strengthen coordination with the PMU,

to report as soon as the contractor's problem is detected so that the PMU takes timely

measures, not to get to the end of the month.

- Regarding the results of environmental quality monitoring: In general, the

environmental quality of all packages of the Project at the time of monitoring is valid

within the permissible limits of the Vietnamese Regulation.
