1. INTRODUCTION

According to surveys, there is currently power shortage in Tuyen Quang Province,

especially in the communal areas, the number of households are connected to the power

grid has not reached 100%. Even in some places, there are always overload of

electric, large electrical energy losses and low electric quality. From the shortcoming of the

power grid in the communes as mentioned above, it is necessary to implement additional

construction investment in substation and to improve medium, low voltage grid in Tuyen

Quang province. These create infrastructure for economic development and improving culture-

economy-social life of local citizen.

Recognizing the necessary of this work, Tuyen Quang People’s Committee asked the

World Bank (WB) for subproject financing. The subproject “Improving medium, low voltage

grid-Tuyen Quang Province” is one of subprojects which will be implemented in Phase I of

the Distribution Efficiency Project (DEP) of Viet Nam Electricity. This DEP was funded by

the WB. Subproject will be implemented in 26 communes of 5 districts in Tuyen Quang

Province.

The activities of subproject include: (i) newly constructing 7.68 km for medium voltage

transmission line; (ii) newly constructing two substations; and (iii) rehabilitating and

upgrading of additional 140.1 km of low voltage transmission line in 26 communes of 5

districts in Tuyen Quang Province, including: Kim Phu, Phu Thinh, Nhu Han, Tan Long, Tan

Tien in Yen Son district; Duc Ninh, Thai Son, Thai Hoa, Binh Xa, Minh Dan, Minh Khuong

in Ham Yen district; Van Phu, Tuan Lo, Dai Phu, Van Son, Dong Loi in Son Duong district;

Hoa Phu, Phuc Thinh, Tan Thinh, Kim Binh, Trung Hoa in Chiem Hoa district; Lang Can,

Con Lon, Son Phu, Yen Hoa, Thuong Nong in Na Hang district. These activities as mentioned

above may cause negative impacts on local environment and local communities during pre-

construction phase, construction phase and operation phase.

To ensure the potential negative impacts are identified and mitigated during the

subproject implementation and incompliance with the policy on environmental assessment of

the World Bank - (OP/BP 4.01), an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) of the subproject

has been prepared in accordance with the guidelines provided in the Environmental

Management Framework (EMF) of the DEP project. The EMP includes: subproject

description, legal framework, applicable environmental technical regulations, potential

negative impacts and proposed mitigation measures that are carried out during the pre-

construction phase, construction phase and operation phase, implementation arrangement. The

EMP also includes Environmental Codes of Practice (ECOP) that will be prepared for the

subproject, and it will be incorporated into the bidding documents and construction contracts

as well as a scope for environment quality monitoring.

The Government’s regulation on EIA requires submission of an Environmental

Protection Commitment (EPC) for the subproject. An EPC reports has been prepared,

submitted to, and approved by Na Hang District People’s Committee, Tuyen Quang Province

on 15 December, 2012.

3.4. Project description

3.4.1. The medium voltage transmission line supplying electricity to the rebuilt-

substations

a) Phu Thinh commune-Yen Son district

- Length of route: 2.072 m

- From the first point, the line will cross over the inter-hamlet road, going along to the

hill side, and overpassing the terraced fields (200m equal to 3 pole foundations) to the

substation.

- My Loc commune substation will be located near the inter-hamlet road, on public land

of Phu Thinh commune. The substation location is favorable for constructing, operating and

repairing later.

b) Nhu Han commune-Yen Son district

- Length of route: 246 m

8

- From the first point, the line will pass through rice fields to Con Voi hamlet substation

with total length of 246m (approximately 3 pole foundations are located in the rice fields with

the occupied area of 1.5m2/ per foundation)

- The substation in Con Voi hamlet will be located on the public land of Nhu Han

commune. This is convenient for the construction and operation and maintenance phases.

c) Tan Tien commune- Yen Son district:

- Length of route: 1,936m

- From the first point, the line will pass through the rice fields but no pole is constructed,

then crossing over the hill, going along the hill side to the substation

- Dang hamlet substation is located near the road, on the public land of Tan Tien

commune. This is convenient for the construction and operation and maintenance phases.

d) Thai Son commune- Ham Yen district

- Length of route: 1,569m

- From the first point, the line will go along the hillside, passing through rice fields 3

times to the substation. Because this line will go along the hillside where trees are planted so

in the construction phase, some trees will be cut down. The construction contractor and other

related agencies should apply measures to mitigate this affect.

- The substations will be located near the inter-hamlet roads, on the public land of Thai

Son commune. This is convenient for the construction and operation and maintenance phases.

3.4.2. The low voltage transmission line

- The rehabilitation of the low voltage transmission line: Rehabilitation of the line will

take place along the old route, and including replacement of wires, beams, insulator or pole

that do not have good quality. The recovered materials of this line will be transferred to

warehouse of Tuyen Quang Electricity Company for use in other electricity works. These

works are invested with social objectives such as the addition of the lines supplying electricity

to households that do not have electricity in communes of the outlying areas. These communes

are not invested by DEP.

- New construction of the low voltage transmission line: Most of the line sections will

follow the removed lines on the old routes. Some lines sections will newly be constructed

along village lands or village roads to connect to the new lines.

The entirely new sections for supplying electricity to some households without

electricity. These households are ethnic minority households (the Tay, Dao and San Chay)

who live in the outlying hamlet and the electricity industry has not enough fund to invest in

power grid to supply electricity to these households.

Because the occupied land for pole foundation is small so the low voltage transmission

line does not affect local resident house. However, trees with heights that exceed safety limit

stipulated in power grid safety regulation will be cut down and the affected households will be

adequately compensated.

pine trees are 120,000 for the former and 300,000 m3 for the later. There are about 66.5 billion

mahogany trees. In addition, there is cinnamon forest, the cinnamon area is approximately

4,000 hectares but it has very high economic value. Forest resources and fauna concentrate in

two nature reserves, Cham Chu (Kem hamlet, Phu Luu commune, Ham Yen district) and Tam

Dao national parks (in Vinh Phuc, Thai Nguyen and Tuyen Quang province). The newly

construction transmission line will not bein communes of the conservation area so the line will

16

not go through the forest, it will take place along the old route, then going along the inter-

village road and going into residential areas.

4.2.3. Mineral Resources

According to the mine and ore book relating to Tuyen Quang province which are

compiled in 1994 by Bureau of Geology of Vietnam - Ministry of Industry and compiled

documents of the property sector, Tuyen Quang province has 163 mines with 27 different

minerals which are distributed in many districts of the province. The biggest volume and

highest quality pertains to iron ore, barite, kaolin, tin, manganese, lead-zinc, angtimon ... This

is a very favorable factor for the development of mining and mineral processing production

and building material processing industry.

4.2.4. Plant Resources

The forest covers was 63% in 2005. Especially, Tuyen Quang forest have a very rich

flora with 760 species of 349 lines, 126 plant families of 8 vascular plants, which are:

angiosperms, pine, cycas, lycophytal, grass, polypodiaceae, gnetophyta. In addition, there are

207 tree species from 10 meters high or more of 60 them, the species of vines belonging to 17

tree families and 20 species of poales, cyperaceae, seaweed, vallisneria spiralis, hydrilla

verticillata, ... According to the list in the Red Book of Vietnam, Tuyen Quang province has

18 rare plant species such as santal wood, iron wood, chukrasia tabularis, cycas balansae,

cupress, Viet Nam hinoki,.. this rare species mainly located in Cham Chu nature Reserve.

4.3. Population, culture, society

In the project area, there are 10 ethnic groups living together. The largest is the Kinh

with 326,033 people, accounting for 48.21%; ethnic minorities such as the Tay with 172,136

people, accounting for 25.45%, the Dao with 77,015 people, accounting for 11.38%; the San

Chay with 54,095 people, accounting for 8.0%, the Mong with 14,658 people, accounting for

2.16%, the Nung with 12,891 people, accounting for 1.90%, the Diu with 11,007 people,

accounting for 1.62 % and other ethnic groups accounted for 1.28%. In the project communes,

the ethnic groups the Tay, Dao and San Chay live near the Kinh people.

- Economy of project communes are mainly agriculture and tending to increase the share

of industrial production and services...

- Culture and society: Tuyen Quang is considered as revolution land, having many

cultural relics, historical sites. It includes Tan Trao Revolutionary Historic Relic.

In the area of the project: culture, society issues are always been interested by the local

government and all people have access to electric lighting. The subproject will contribute

directly and indirectly to improving the lives of local people by supplying electricity for

production, local economic development, lighting of public works...

The subproject will not be located in areas with historic relics, social-cultural facilities -

as well as domestic security and defense

4.4.Traffic

Tuyen Quang has important roads such as Highway 2 passing through the province with

length of 90 km (from Doi Binh commune- Yen Son district to Yen Lam commune -Ham Yen

district) connecting Hanoi, Phu Tho, Ha Giang, Thai Nguyen. The National Highway 37

connects Son Duong district, Yen Son district with Yen Bai Province. The Highway 2C

connects Vinh Yen city, Son Duong and Tuyen Quang city. The province has 340.6 km of

national highways; 392.6 km of provincial roads, 579.8km of district roads; 141.71 km of

urban road structure including the type: gravel roads, asphalted roads and concrete roads.

17

To date, 100% communes, districts, towns and 96.3% hamlets have motorways to the

central areas. The province has completed overall plan for transport network by 2010 and

development orientation to 2020.

In the future, Tuyen Quang will have a complete transportation system including roads,

waterways and railways. In which, there are arterial routes of the whole country passing

through the territory of the province such as Ho Chi Minh road, Highway 279, Highway Hai

Phong-Kunming, Thai Nguyen-Tuyen Quang-Yen Bai railway, the riverway from Viet Tri to

Tuyen Quang- lower section of Tuyen Quang hydroelectric Power. This transportation system

will change radically the province's economy geology and create conditions to attract

investment and expand trade to grow.

In the subproject area, traffic conditions are relatively favorable because the power line

goes along the traffic roads so that it should not need to build further temporary roads serving

for construction.

5. IDENTIFICATION OF SUBPROJECT POTENTIAL IMPACTS

The subproject will play an important role in the electrification program and the implementation of the policy of poverty alleviation of 13

communes of 10 districts. It will also speed up the national industrialization and modernization which is a step towards promoting rural

development and poverty reduction.

When the transmission lines are constructed, the local residents will tend to move to live close to electricity access. The local authorities

will need to plan for this by opening new roads, new residential areas and industrial and agriculture development. All the subproject districts and

the city will have to work in this direction.

The subproject will bring about significant socioeconomic benefit. This has been documented in detail in the description of feasibility

report. Apart from such benefits, the subproject may also result in environmental and socioeconomic impacts which are adverse to the local

conditions.

By using Environmental Screening Data Checklist and Environmental baseline Checklist as guided in Framework for Environment

Safeguards that be applied Rural Energy II Project, the potential impacts of the Project are described as follows:

Table 5.1. Environmental impact assessment

Questions Yes No Description of impact

1. Project's sitting:

Is the Project site adjacent to or within any of the following

environmental sensitive areas?

Cultural heritage site X The line and substation will not pass through areas with

cultural and historic value

The conservation areas X

Wetlands X

Forest X

19


Estuarine X

Buffer zone of protected areas X

Nature Reserves: bird yards, mangrove forest.ect. X

Rivers and reservoirs X The medium voltage transmission lines will run cross over

the hills and going on terraced fields. The low-voltage

transmission lines primarily will take place along the old

route along the inter-hamlet near houses so the lines will

not go through the lakes and rivers.

Canal and irrigation system X

2. The potential impacts, by project?

Encroachment on historical/cultural areas X

Encroachment on critical ecosystem (e.g. sensitive or

protected area, national park, nature reserve etc....)

X

Disfiguration of landscape and increase waste generation X - Because of ROW clearance, there would be small

changes of the landscape and increase wastes but these

changes are considered as small and the appropriate

mitigation measures would be taken.

Removal of vegetation cover or cut down of trees resulted

from clearance at the sub-station and along ROW?

X Along the ROW, the high trees will be cut off whereas the

low vegetations such as the vegetation and low trees are

remained unchanged (the vegetation is only affected at the

positions that are used to construct pole foundations but

20


the affected area is insignificant). The substations are

hang-on types so the acquired land area is small and these

located in barren lands along the roads.

Change of surface water quality or water flows X

Increase water turbidity due to run- off and erosion X - During construction period, if construction work is

carried in the rainy season and no protection methods for

pole foundation and substation (the underground) be

applied, the erosion can occur and affect to the local flow.

Waste water from camping sites is directly

discharged to the surface water resources or not?

X - The contractor will rent local houses for workers, and

thus, wastewater will be collected into household waste

treatment facilities. In case of building temporary tents for

workers, drainage and garbage collection must be

complied with the regulations.

Construction waste is directly discharged to the

surface water or not?

X

Increase the dust level? X - During transportation, sands, rocks are transported by

trucks so dust will be generated. But this is considered to

be insignificant because material will be covered up during

transportation to prevent scattering of material along the

way

Increase noise and/or vibration? X - Noise and vibration are generated by operation of

transportation means so this is considered to be

insignificant because the construction time is short, the

construction area of each foundation is small (the area of

medium voltage pole is 1.5m2 and its depth is 1.2m, the

21


area of low voltage pole is 1m2 and its depth is 1m) and

the construction area is spread many hamlets of project

communes. The mitigation measures are presented in Part

VI.

Permanent land acquisition X Total permanently acquired land area is 3,292 m2,

in

which, producing land is 889m2, uncultivated land is

2,403m2

Temporary land acquisition X The temporarily occupied land:700,245m2 . Land will be

used for ROW including agricultural land, wasteland and

forest land. This kind of land is not acquired.

Only the medium-voltage transmission line goes through

the terraced fields but not many sections of the line go

through the field. According to calculation, only 6 pole

positions are constructed on the fields (in Phu Thinh

commune, Yen Son District, there are 3 pole positions

with a total length of 200m going across fields, in Nhu

Han commune, Yen Son district, there are 3 pole positions

with a total length of 246m cutting through the field).

The total acquired area of field land is 9m2; and the total

temporary affected area is 1,338m2 with 16 PAHs (each

temporarily household is affected 84m2 in average, this

number is smaller compared to agricultural land; each

household uses more than 3,000m2 in average). Although,

this is a small effect but also may have significant impact

on the lives of the PAHs.

The project should be implemented carefully to avoid or

mitigate impact to sensitive areas. The mitigation measures

22


are be presented in Part VI.

Affect crops x The line will go across the terraced fields so that in the

construction period, the crops may be affected. The

detailed mitigation measures are presented in Part VI.

Interruption of utility such as: electricity, water supply and

internet access

Activities such as replacing cables for upgraded line or

connecting new line to existing line will cause power loss.

However, the construction period in each commune is

short (about a month) so that people can overcome.

The people in the subproject area do not have water supply

systems that use hand pump wells, so the outage will not

affect the water supply.

The people use 3G wireless networks and internet is

separate from the power line so the outage will not affect

the internet services. But power cuts will lead to people not

using the internet access devices.

Impact on the use of existing services will be mitigate by

applying the measures be presented in an EMP.

Resettlement of households? If yes, how many households? X No households will be removed so that there is no

resettlement areas

Would the resettlement site is environmentally and/or

culturally sensitive

X

Is there any risk of disease dissemination from construction

workers to the local peoples (and vice versa)?

X - Construction force includes one construction team/per

commune, each team will have about 26 workers. The total

23


number of workers on the site at the peak time is about 338

people but they are in many places of the route, not

gathering in one place. Besides, the workers involved in

the project are the skilled workers and have extensive

experience in many areas of construction and more

projects, so they are self-conscious, educated,

propagandized, and tightly controlled.

The education, propaganda and management measures

will be applied in the subproject (be presented in Part VI).

These measures aim to limit the worker participating in a

number of evils that lead to infect the social diseases such

as STD / HIV / AIDS.

Is there any potential for conflict between construction

workers and local peoples (and vice versa)?

X - Social conflict can occur due to difference in income,

culture and behavior so that the minor contradictions

should be occurred. If the workers are not educated,

propagandized and tightly controlled. They could take

some evils that causing destabilizing the security and

public order in localities. The education, propaganda

measures that be presented in Part VI, will be applied

Are explosive and hazardous chemicals used within the

Project?

X Digging foundation and clearing vegetation will be done

manually, herbicide will not be used.

In the past, there was any accident incurred due to landmines

or explosive materials remaining from the war?

X - The subproject area was identified that it does not have

landmines remaining from the war.

Will Project's construction cause disturbance to the

transportation in the Project's site?

X The impact on the transportation system by the following

reasons:

- The amount of vehicles will increase due to

24


transportation of equipment and materials for the

subproject.

- The construction of power lines is normally carried out

along the roads

- Gathering the materials at construction sites

- Pull the wires

Because rural traffic is sparse, time for unloading

materials and equipment would be short (about 1 hour). In

addition, unloading of construction materials (e.g. sand,

soil, stone…) is automatic by trucks. Therefore, impacts on

traffic such as traffic congestion would not be significant.

The measures described in Part VI will be implemented to

minimize the impacts.

Project's construction will cause any damage to the existing

local roads, bidges or other rural infrastructures?

- All materials, equipment are classified for transportation

in accordance with the load of the road. The national

roads (Highway 3, Highway 37, Highway 2C) and

provincial roads here are asphalted roads; the village

roads are scatted stones, other inter-commune roads are

land roads. The contractor will be return the original

conditions of the road if the transportation of the

contractor cause damage to these roads

Will soil excavation during Project's construction cause soil

erosion?

X According to the topographic survey, lines will go through

three levels of terrain elevations with 100-150m above

sea level and have slope <= 20% so the construction can

cause erosion while digging. The construction can cause

drifting materials when gathering material in uneven

spots. The contractor will have to apply measures to block

25


and to avoid that effect.

- The construction time of pole foundation is short (about

1/2 day) and the construction would not be implemented in

the rainy season. Each items will be done completely

before the construction of another item, and thus erosion is

expected to be small

The mitigation measures described in Part VI will also be

implemented.

Will Project need to open new access roads? X Since the transmission lines and substation would be

located along roads. Existing roads will be used.

Will Project cause fragmentation of habitat of flora and

fauna?

X Since the transmission lines and substation would be

located along roads. Therefore, the subproject will not

cause fragmentation of habitat of flora and fauna

Will Project cause impact on air quality? X The level of impact on the environment by emission and

dust from transportation vehicles would be small because

the will be covered during the transportation of

construction materials. Emissions from traffic vehicles

spreading into the environment. This impact will be

mitigated by the measures detailed in Section IV

Will Project cause accident risks for workers and community

during construction phase?

X Accident risks include:

- Construction activities are carried out on steep terrain,

the materials can be slip away, this will be dangerous to

workers and communities.

- Workers who work at height, may have fallen if they do

not have enough the knowledge of safe and adequate labor

26


protection equipment.

- Ensure safety for workers during construction when they

work with many charged objects/conductor.

- Transporting bulky materials up steep slopes (such as

poles, steel beams, steel for constructing pole foundation,

cables) can cause accidents.

Will Project generate hazardous wastes including PCBs from

the replacement of substations?

X Currently, the use of PCB was banned in Vietnam because

it cause adverse effects to human health and the

environment.

EVN has circular No. 2623/CV-EVN-KHCN&MT dated on

28 May2007 regarding the management and pollution

prevention and exposure to PCBs.

4 new substations will be installed under DEP project in

Tuyen Quang province. No substation will be removed.

Therefore, the impact of PCB is insignificant.

Will Project cause risk to safety and human health (electric

and magnetic fields, electric shock etc.)?

X If the lines and substation will not be designed and

constructed in accordance with the standard on rural

power grid DNT44-2006, human health might be affected.

Or if the harmful effects of electromagnetic fields and

standards are not be calculated to ensure electrical safety,

operation safety as prescribed, these can cause harm to

human health as well.

Therefore, the design activities will comply with the

regulations of the Ministry of Industry and Trade (DNT44-

2006) absolutely.

7. ARRANGEMENT FOR ENVIROMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

IMPLEMENTATION, IMPROVE CAPACITY

7.1. The responsibilities for implementing Environmental Management Plan (EMP)

Non-compliance by the contractor could result in suspension of works, financial

penalties, or other penalties, as must be clearly spelled out in the EMP and in the contract.

Contractors are responsible for implementation of EMP. The responsibilities for

monitoring EMP implementation are typically shared between the contractor, the PMU, and

the Construction Supervision Consultant (CSC). The Contractor’s Work Plan should

incorporate the guidelines provided in the EMP created for the subproject. The designated

Technical Officer(s) and Safeguards Officer(s) of the PMU are responsible for supervising

the adherence to the agreed EMP by the selected contractor(s). The World Bank may

periodically supervise implementation activities of the subproject.

At a minimum, the contractor should prepare a monthly report on adherence to EMP

which should be submitted to the CSC and to the PMU. Subproject-specific or contract-

specific reporting requirements are described in the EMP. CSC is responsible for monitoring

overall environmental performance of the project and submit to PMUs quarterly monitoring

reports.

To ensure effective implementation of the EMP, the following actions will be carried out

during the implementation of the subproject

7.1.1. During Detailed Design and Preparation of Bidding Contract Documents

During the detailed design and bidding invitation preparation, the project management

unit will be responsible for incorporate the EMP (mitigation measures, responsibilities of the

contractor) into the attached annexes in the bidding invitation and contract signed with the

contractor. Engineers taking charge of the detailed design will also refer to findings in the

EIA and EMP to ensure environmental issues will be looked at in the final design.

During the bidding invitation preparation and the contract, it is necessary to ensure the

contractor is fully informed of its responsibilities in implementing environmental mitigation

measures and its commitment to compliance.

7.1.2. During Construction Phase

PPMU will assign the Construction Supervising Consultant (CSC) and/or field engineer

to be responsible for supervision of safeguard performance of contractor on a daily basis. A

generic Terms of Reference (TOR) is provided in Annex 1. CSC and/or field engineers will

carry out, but not limited to, the following tasks:

Before the commencement of the construction, confirm that all compensation for land

and facilities are provided and relocation and/or land acquisition/donation has been

completed.

Closely supervise the implementation of safeguard measures throughout the

construction period.

Confirm the compliance with the EMP and inspect for any damages caused by the

contractor. If necessary, prepare a minutes to ask the contractor to compensate or rehabilitate

as provisions of the contract. Contractor safeguard performance will be included in the

subproject progress report.

Role and responsibilities of parties in implementing EMP are summarized in the below

8. CONSULTATION AND DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION

In the subproject preparation phase (the year of 2011), the following five activities were

carried out:

Activity 1: Surveying the site, working with the local authorities to discuss the route

and the substation locations.

Activity 2: Surveying the site and preparing the EMP reports.

Activity 3: Conducting public consultation on the subproject.

From August 10, 2011 to September 15, 2011, a meeting with local residents in 26

communes was organized in order to consult public on the EMP, the representatives of the

Project Owner also involved the following contents:

- Describing the subproject, the route, the substation locations, and the necessity for the

subproject;

- The potential impacts on the environment and communities;

-The measures to mitigate environmental impacts.

Participants: Participants of the Commune People Committee, Farmer Association, Women

Association , and other public organizations, hamlet chiefs, representatives of project’s

affected households, and consulting agency.

The places for organizing public consultant: The Commune People Committee Office

Summary of comments from the participants:

- In general, most of opinions of the local authorities and people were supportive of the

subproject. Similarly, most participants agreed that the impact that caused by the project to

the environment will not be severe due to the nature of the impact is slight and even the

reasonable scope of project. Furthermore, they also emphasized that the benefits will clearly

be able to compensate for the negative effects.

- The most concern issue is the impact of the construction phase as dust generation at

the construction site. They require to return the primitive state as prior to construction. The

land requisition and affected crops, affected plants are also problems that they are interested

in. They also expected that the clearance would be done after they finish harvesting. And,

most participants realized that this kind of impact can be avoided and can reduce quite a lot if

the contractor apply the mitigation measures and environmental management plans as

appropriate. The project team explained that the mitigation measures will be presented in the

EMP as part of this report and as such, the construction machines which are used in the

construction phase of transmission line in Vietnam, are not actually many.

The project team also noted that the mitigation measures will be incorporated in the

tender documents that the contractor must comply. The contractor must submit an

organizational chart of construction site, construction methods and mitigation measures for

investors to approve the bidding results.

Some people were interested in the impact on water resources and soil erosion that

caused by excavation activities such as foundation construction. They proposed the

construction should be done in the dry season after harvestes. However, participants also

agreed that this kind of impact is negligible for each individual project and their

comments will be put into the EMP report.

- Some participants also expressed concern about some issue that may be raised

between the construction workers and the local people. But they were also satisfied with the

48

answer of the project team that construction contractors will be required to give the

organization chart of construction site, make a temporary residence statement for workers and

coordinate with local government to administer these.

- Some participants suggested that the local government must be informed

early about the project implementation schedule so they could adjust the land using plan in

order to avoid conflict with the project area.

- The public consultation minutes is included in Appendix 6.

All the involved issues as well as suggestion of the local people that recognized by the

consultant and the investor, will be considered in the sub-project design and in the EMP

implementation phase.

Activity 4: Review and correct the EMP in accordance with the comments. Continuing

to receive feedback from the affected households. To collect opinions of the people to

complete the environmental impact mitigation measures in the EMP.

Activity 5: Disclosure the EMP

Only after they have been properly edit the location, design to meet the environmental

protection and resettlement requirements, the project is granted investment license.

According to the information disclosure requirements of OP 4.01, the PMU will: i) disclose

the Vietnamese version of the EMP, and the summary of the subproject at Tuyen Quang

province People Committee, the PMU office, and the subproject districts and communes.

The EMP copies in Vietnamese and English will be sent to the Vietnam Development

Information Center at 63 Ly Thai To street, Hanoi City for information disclosure.

The EMP copies in English will also be sent to the InfoShop of the World Bank in

Washington DC for disclosure.

The expected time: 24 April, 2012
