Samallout / Suez Gulf / Jabal El-Zayt 500 kV Transmission Line
Socio-Economic Setting Study FIRST: SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT OF THE RED SEA GOVERNORATE 1. General Background
The Red Sea governorate is located in the South Upper Egypt Region, encompassing Souhag, Aswan, Qena, the Red Sea governorates, and Luxor city. The Red Sea governorate overlooks the Red Sea Coast in the East, stretching over (1080) km. It is bordered in the West by Beni Swueif, Menia, Assiut, Souhag, Qena, Luxor City and Aswan, in the North by Suez and Giza governorates, and in the South by Sudan. Hurghada city is the governorate's capital. The Red Sea as a main artery bridging east and west, has gained its strategic importance across the history. Due to the governorate's historical, economic, political, and geophysical dimensions, it has become a governorate of all times; the past, the present, and the future. It is Egypt's eastern gate, which is rich in oil, minerals and fish resources. This is in addition to its gifted beautiful nature, and its wonderful climate characterized by the warm sun and low humidity rate all the year round. Extending along the Red Sea and deep into the Eastern Desert gave the governorate its strategic importance, as such; it is strategically significant for Egypt national security in particular and the Arab Region in general. The total area of the governorate covers 119.1 thousand km2, representing 11.8% of the Republic's area. The governorate is divided into 6 cities, 2 districts, 12 rural local units annexed by 14 villages, and 22 hamlets. According to the preliminary results of the 2006 census, the population is 288.233 thousand people; 95.5% of them live in urban areas, and 4.5% in rural areas, and the population natural growth rate has reached 24.9 per thousand. Development of basic infrastructure and completion of local utilities and services have been major concern of the State to serve citizens and enhance tourism development as well. After implementation of the development plans, the governorate has become one of the investment zones and one of the world's tourism attraction areas, and consequently a major source of the national income. Since the governorate is rich in unique rare sea creatures, birds, wild animals, and medical plants, it was necessary to establish natural protectorates to preserve this wealth from extinction. These protectorates would host the largest number of undomesticated animals such as turtles, and rare sea birds, in addition to valleys, plains, and plateaus which host animals, and rare wild plants.

The Red Sea governorate is the main outlet for the exports and imports of Upper Egypt governorates. It has a sea port for pilgrims. Tourism is the main activity in the governorate, in addition to other activities such as mining. The Red Sea governorate is by far the richest governorate in minerals resources because it has huge reserves of metals and none metal ores together with ornament stones, and oil which constitutes 75% of the Republic's production. Figure-1 gives the map for the Red Sea Governorate and Tables-1, 2 and 3 give some main geographical and administrative indicators.

2. Population and Demography
The project siting will extend from Samallout 500 kV S/S, west of the Nile River, to the Gulf of Suez, including the Gulf of El-Zayt area and will end at the proposed site of Jabal El-Zayt S/S, which is about 7 km to the west of the Suez Gulf and about 4.5 inward km south west of Ras Shuqayr in the Red Sea Governorate and about 370km south east of Cairo. The route all along the Red Sea Governorate is an empty, uninhabited, uncultivated, state-owned land area. The total area of the Red Sea Governorate in 2008 is 119,100km2 i.e. 28.36 million Feddans, represent 11.8% of the total land area of Egypt, out of which aroud 3500 km2 (i.e. 2.94% of the total Red Sea Governorate area) represent Ras Ghareb zone, where close to it Ras Shuqayr & Gulf of El Zayt area is located. Total population of about 288,233 reside the Red Sea Governorate and represent about 0.4% of the total population in Egypt. The population at the Ras Ghareb administrative city is approximately 31,922.

4. Income Distribution and Socio-economic Profile
There is no published information concerning the income distribution and socio-economic profile of the population within the Red Sea Governorate area. The only available information on weekly average wages by economic activities and sector in Egypt is abstracted from CAPMAS as indicated in Table-32. However, fieldwork carried out by ECG representatives, suggests that the local population of the Red Sea Governorate is composed of a mix of professional and manual workers.
ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS GROUP
- 29 -
In discussions with Governorate representatives during ECG representatives' field visits in December 2008, it was suggested that manual construction work is generally undertaken by migrant labour as there is little local labour available (or willing) to carry out this work. Migrants, often from Upper Egypt, travel to the many places inside Egypt, including Red Sea area, attracted by the employment possibilities in the areas. They are not actively recruited from outside the area by development companies. The migrants remain in these areas until employment prospects draw them elsewhere. This migrant labour process is common in northern and eastern Egypt. All Governorate officials consulted by ECG expressed that facilities (housing, public and social services etc.) in the Red Sea area, particularly, Ras Ghareb, Ras Shuqayr and Hurghada zones, are more than adequate to absorb these migrants and they do not create any social problems in the area.

SECOND: SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT OF THE EL-MENYA GOVERNORATE 1. General Background
The El-Menya governorate is located in the North Upper Egypt Region that encompasses Fayoum, Menya, and Bani Swaif governorates. It is characterized with its rural style. Menya is known as the beautiful bride of Upper Egypt (Figure-4 gives the map for The El-Menya Governorate). The governorate covers an area of 32279 km2, representing 3.2% of the Republic's total area (Tables-121 & 122). It comprises 9 Marakz, 9 cities, 61 rural local units, 360 villages and 1429 hamlets (Table-123) According to the preliminary results of the 2006 census, the population is estimated at 4.2 millions; 18.8% of them live in urban areas and 81.2% in rural areas. The population natural growth rate has reached 22.8 per thousand. The governorate moved towards the expansion into the desert and established new urban communities such as New Menya City and is expected to achieve human and economic development (urban, agricultural, and tourist).
The El-Menya is an agricultural governorate with estimated cultivated areas of 472.7 thousand feddans. Cotton, wheat, onion, and sugar cane are the major crops. Beside being an agricultural governorate, it has made major strides in industry, particularly in food processing, spinning and weaving and chemicals, in addition to the establishment of an industrial area in the East of the Nile, 12 km south of Menya bridge. The area was mapped out and divided into nine industrial zones, along with establishing the small enterprises complex as well as the main and secondary services centers taking into consideration environment friendly standards. The El-Menya governorate is held an eternal record of all dynasties and monuments in Egypt that represent the Pharaonic, the Coptic, and the Islamic eras. Mosques of El Laty, El Amrawy "Elwadaa", El Masry, El Fouly, Zawyet Sultan, Tahna El Gabal, Antar Stable, that includes Hatshepsut Temple, Tal El Amarna, and the Tilting Minaret Mosque are the most important monuments in the governorate.

The El-Menya governorate is located in the North Upper Egypt Region that encompasses Fayoum, Menya, and Bani Swaif governorates. It is characterized with its rural style. Menya is known as the beautiful bride of Upper Egypt.
2. Population and Demography The project route is located at Samallout area to the west of the River Nile and extended along El-Sheikh Fadle/ Ras Ghareb Road to the eastern desert. With the exception of a length of about 32 km near the Nile River, where the 280km 500 kV double circuit east-west line would cross agricultural land, virtually all the rest of the line, will go through uninhabited uncultivated state-owned desert land. On the east-west route no population or human settlements were observed between the Samallout 500 kV Substation and the Gulf of Suez (Ras Ghareb) oil terminal and township. The route is far enough from the nearest residential areas. The total area of the El-Menya Governorate in 2010 is around 32,279 km2, i.e. 7.68 Million Feddans. Total population of about 4,166,299 reside the El-Menya Governorate and represent about 5.7% of the total population in Egypt in 2008. The population at the Markaz Samallout is approximately 586,774. The total population of El-Menya Governorate, including all Marakez (Al-Odwa, Maghagha, Beni Mazar, Mattay, Samallout, El-Menya, Abu Korkas, Mallawi and Deir Mowas) was estimated at 3,310,000 in 1996. Population studies indicate a rapid increase in Menya’s population. In 1976, Menya’s population was 2,045,000 raised to 2,645,000 in the next census in 1986, then 3,310,000 in 1996. According to the estimated census of the governorate in 2006, Menya’s population reached 4,049,000 with a growth rate of 2.19%. Population concentration for the total area of Menya is 0.12 thousand/km2. As for the inhabited area, population concentration reaches 1.64 thousand person/km2 as this area is estimated to be 2411.65 km2. Such increase in growth rate in Menya compared to other governorates is related to the cultural inheritance that encourages early marriage & abundant off springs as do the other governorates in Upper Egypt. Low economic standards of the family also encourage the family to have more kids as a source of income especially that poverty level in El-Menya rises up to 51%, in addition to other factors related to the general awareness of the citizens. Growth rate in Menya reached 2.56% from 2003 till 2005. Growth rate in the rural part of the governorate exceeds the urban ones, as it recorded 2.64% in the country side and 2.37% in the urban areas. However, growth rate in general tends from what it was prior to 1996 where it reached 2.71%. Under the proposals set out in the Governorate’s Development Plan, the population of the El-Menya is likely to increase with the development of new industrial, commercial

and residential businesses, and is expected to reach 4,332,950 by 2012. Tables-124 through 133 show population data for the El-Menya Governorate, with special emphasis on Markaz Samallout Zone, obtained from both the Central Agency for Public Mobilization & Statistics (CAPMAS) and the Information and Decision Support Center of the El-Menya Governorate.

THIRD: SOCIO-ECONOMIC EFFECTS 1. Introduction
The administrative structure within which the transmission line is situated is explained in the First and Second Sections of this report.
This section addresses the socio-economic impacts associated with the construction and operation of the Samallout / Suez Gulf / Jabal E-Zayt 500 kV transmission line project. The nearest permanent settlements to the proposed transmission line are the Samallout residential communities scattered around the transmission line route. The Entire El-Menya Governorate, with its 9 Marakez, is likely to experience the positive and negative socio-economic impacts from the construction and operation of the transmission line. However, Suez Gulf area, including Jabal El-Zayt location, may also experience the socio-economic impacts due to its proximity to the transmission line and the substations.
The assessment of impacts draws upon baseline data collected and provided by ECG , the Egyptian Electricity Holding Company (EEHC) and the Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company (EETC) during preparation for this socio-economic analysis and impact report. No information on existing income levels was available from the Governorate, Suez Gulf area and Districts Authorities.
2. Resettlement within the Transmission Line Route and the Substations Areas
As there are permanent staff settlements within the Samallout and Ras Ghareb Region , no resettlement or displacement of people is envisaged.
3. Land Acquisition
Substations lands in the Red Sea Governorate were bought by the Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company (EETC) from the official owners according to Contract and assigned for development o َ◌f the substations facilities. The land is formally the whole area allocated to the Suez Gulf and Jaba El-Zayt substations. Historically, all land in Egypt belongs to the State and is assigned to specific owners only via Governmental authorization. Samallout Substation land was assigned to the same purpose of today's usage, i.e. Electrical Substation, since the times of the High Dam and its Hydropower station construction in fall 1960s. No land acquisition is connected to all substations at all. Concerning the transmission line, only small pieces of land for the transmission line's towers' footings all along the route will be acquired.
ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS GROUP
- 160 -
No land acquisition is associated with around 89% of the route as it passes through uninhabited, uncultivated, State-owned desert land. Only in the cultivated area of Markaz Samallout, along the remaining 11% of the route, small pieces (of area around 20x20 m2 each) of the agricultural land will be occupied by TL towers' footings. For these footings, fair land acquisition compensation and crop compensation system will be applied.
4. Employment Generation
A key positive socio-economic impact of the development of the transmission line and substations will be the generation of employment during its construction and operation. EETC proposes to operate a policy of preferential employment of locally resident workers depending on skills and availability in order to maximize local employment benefits. This local workforce will be drawn from the El-Menya and Red Sea Governorates, their Marakez and cities and other neighboring cities to the north and south of the El-Menya Governorate area.
It should be noted that construction work within the Egyptian Governorates is traditionally undertaken by migrant labor from Upper Egypt. Migrants are normally attracted to the area of projects construction within Egypt by the availability of manual work, which is traditionally not undertaken by indigenous residents. Migrants find accommodation within the area and its surrounding districts and remain in the area until employment prospects elsewhere draw them away. Given that circumstances, the workers availability for construction of the transmission line and its attachments, is likely to be high.
Available employment data described in the First two Sections of this report suggests that unemployment in the whole Governorates of the El-Menya and the Red Sea lies around 6% and 5.7%, respectively and in both Governorates, around 141,610 and 1,221,400 people, respectively form the active workforce. Statistics suggest that approximately 55% of this labor force is comprised of industry and commerce workers and around 52% of the Governorates’ workforce are categorized as skilled, having been trained in various disciplines.
The estimated employment generated during construction of the plant is anticipated to be as follows:
• 20 workers provided by the Architect Engineer; • 150 local employees for the civil work; and • 30 local employees for mechanical and electrical work.
Local workers will represent approximately 90% of the civil and mechanical construction work.
ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS GROUP
- 161 -
The entire labor force will camp wherever the work goes on, thus there will be no worker housing facilities to be erected on sites during construction, except temporary, moving camps.
The contractors will be responsible for relevant temporary water/toilet facilities during construction and the need to provide appropriate services will be specified in their contracts.
Following construction of the project, the majority of manual jobs will become redundant, however given the large number of other construction activities in the wider area, this is not anticipated to present any negative impacts to the local workforce.
During operation of the project, both skilled and unskilled staff will be recruited from the local workforce. Unskilled positions will include drivers, cleaners, clerks and secretaries and security guards. Many of these jobs could be filled by women. The project company will employ people with due regard to their equal opportunities policy.
The construction and operation of the project is therefore anticipated to provide employment opportunities within the El-Menya and the Red Sea areas and to the workforce of the surrounding cities. The employment generated by the project will be an important positive impact of the proposed project.
5. Income Effects
The potential direct income effects during construction and operation of the project include:
• income from the permanent and temporary jobs that will be provided during the
construction and operation of the project. Market rates will be paid to all workers who will, in turn, spend the money in the local economy through goods and services bought in the area;
• income from locally placed orders for goods and services during construction
and operation phases, including contracts for the provision of construction materials and services, maintenance repairs and equipment servicing, and the establishment of supply contracts (e.g. security, waste disposal, food, cleaning, transport etc.).
6. Public Services
A potential adverse effect of the transmission line project is increased demand for public services, such as water and wastewater provision, etc. An assessment of these impacts, however, does not suggest that any negative effects will be experienced,
ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS GROUP
- 162 -
considering the relatively limited number of workers and the temporary short existence periods of their work along the transmission line route.
Drinking water during construction will be supplied to the project location with local water supply systems. During plant construction, sanitary water will be provided also via local water systems, including transportation of the water by trucks through the desert lands.
As discussed in the First Section, migrant labor is traditionally attracted to the region and public services are considered by public officials to be more than adequate to absorb them. No provision of additional services is therefore considered necessary during construction or operation of the project.
7. Cultural Effects
No cultural impacts are anticipated as a result of the project development. In addition, migrant manual labor is traditionally welcomed in the region resulting in no social or community problems.
8. Conclusion
It is clear that the construction and operation of the Samallout / Suez Gulf / Jabal El-Zayt 500 kV transmission line facility will not result in any problem to the present workforce in the whole area. It is, also, anticipated that the new TL project will provide a net positive socio-economic impact through the provision of emplo yment opportunities and attraction of economic investment into the area.
In addition, the use of local labor wherever practicable, will maximize these positive impacts through the development of the local skill base and will also generate increased demand for local services, materials and products.

FOURTH: MITIGATION MEASURES FOR SOCIO-ECONOMIC EFFECTS DURING CONSTRUCTION
The assessment of impacts showed an overall positive impact on the local society, culture and economy. Given that the use of local labor will be prioritized during construction, no mitigation measures are proposed. Management Plan during construction of the transmission line project is summarized in the following Table.

1. All activities related to the construction of the new transmission line will take place within the areas allocated to EETC, i.e. there will be no off-site activities or associated resettlement during construction.
2. Land acquisition is limited to small pieces of land of around 20x20 m2 each for the towers' footings, at a separated distances, against fair land and crop compensation.
3. The entire labor force will camp temporarily, for short periods, all along the route during continuing movement with the TL development, thus no worker housing or associated facilities will be permanently erected on sites during construction.
4. Public Relations will be maximized through open dialogue between EETC and local authorities and public representatives.
