1. INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE OF WORKI 1.1. Objectives of the Project
The development objectives of the proposed Rural Energy II Project are to assist the
Government of Vietnam to alleviate poverty in the rural areas by providing basic infrastructure
service such as electricity and access to general services, for improving living conditions and
productivity. The Project will assist the Government of Vietnam to implement its national objective
I of providing electricity to about 12 million rural households through:- An effective strategy for rural electrification with special focus on provision of energy to the
remote mountainous areas;I - Rehabilitating, upgrading and expanding the rural power system in order to meet the
demand for power supply for future socio-economic development;- Strengthening reliability and quality of power networks, reduce voltage and electricity
losses on the grid, lower rural consumption price, improve businesses efficiency and rural
power management ability of local power management boards;
- Refurbishment of the existing rural power network to increase reliability and quality of
supply, including reduction of technical and non-technical losses; this Project incorporates
30 communes in 6 districts of Thai Nguyen province.
I1 - Extension of existing power networks to supply additional households;
- Assisting local District and Commune committees to improve power system management
processes and improve business efficiency, to provide electricity reliably, safely and at
reasonably cost;- Review rural power management models, to establish power management units of legal
standing, with economic independence and the managerial/technical skills to operate
effectively and profitably, repaying loaned funds;- Expanding the use of renewable energy for the off-grid systems to serve the rural load in
the remote and isolated areas, where feasible and economically practicable;
1.2. NEED FOR PROJECT INVESTMENT
Based on the forecast data on economic development, power demand, the current
situation of the existing power distribution network of the Project's commune. The existing
distribution network is degraded, not synchronous. Power losses are very high. The alignment of
power lines is not well designed. Many types of poles are existed in the network. The alignment of
powjer lines is not well designed. There are also many types of electricity meters. In the past in
order to save money, the distribution lies were created to go across gardens, ponds etc. The
conductor is overhead type and not covered by any insulating materials, so it cause a lot of risk
on safety to local people. The Project is planned to implemented in order to:
- Improve the quality of the existing distribution network in the Project's communes.
- Increase the safety management, of the distribution network;
- Reduce power losses;- Increase electricity supply for the Project's communes;- Change the form for management model of rural power network;
2
I3 - Gradually modernize the distribution power network.
1.2. Commune selection criteria1.2.1. General criteria

East is Bac Giang province and West is Vinh Phuc and Tuyen Quang provinces.
* PopulationPopulation of Thai Nguyen is 1,085,872 people, population density is 307 people/km2. The
I distribution of population is not equal. Population density of Thai Nguyen city is 1.928persons/kM2, in Phu Binh is 551 people/km2 and density of Song Cong township is about 528
person/km2.I There are many ethnic minorities living in the province. Main ethnics are Tay, Nung, San Diu,
Dao.3 There are 7 districts, 1 city (Thai Nguyen) and 1 town (Song Cong).
Topography3 There are many high mountains in the province. The topography is lowering from theNorth to the South. Structure of the mountains is highly weathered with many caves, small
valleys. In the South West there is Tam Dao mountain with highest peak at elevation 1,590 m.
I Ngan Son mountain is started from Bac Kan in the direction of North East to South West. Three
high mountains Ngan Son, Bac Son and Tam Dao block monsoon East -North wind so Thai
I Nguyen is not much effected by this wind.
Thai Nguyen is mountainous province, but the topography is not complicated as other
l mountainous provinces in North of Vietnam.
Climatel There are three main different areas:
* Cool area in the North of Vo Nhai district;* Fairly cool area is consisted of Dinh Hoa, Phu Luong and the South of Vo Nhai district;
* Wet area is consisted of Dai Tu, Dong Hy, Phu Binh, Pho Yen, Thai Nguyen city and SongCong town.
There are two different seasons:* Hot, rainy season: from May to October;
* Cool, dry season: from October to May of the next year.
Average rainfall is 2,000 mm to 2,500 mm;Average humidity is 84%.Average temperature is 240C.

I 2.6. SOME OF MAIN TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE PROJECT2.6.1. Medium voltage
3 MV substation* To reduce the investment cost, facilitate site installation and uniform project standards, the
following is to be implemented:* All new substation are designed as outdoor type pole mounted. With substation capacity
S>75 kVA two pole type construction will be used. With substation capacity S < 31.5 kVA
3 one pole type construction is used.* Reduce the existing transformers if possible and not consider rehabilitation. Substation
rehabilitation is carried out yearly according to the EVN maintenance plan.
* Substation requiring relocation or new pole support structures are to be built as outdoortype, mounted on poles.
a The new substation are all pole mounted, as follows:* If capacity S>= 75 kVA, mounted on two poles;I * If capacity S>= 31.5 kVA, mounted on 1 pole.
Substation poles are centrifugal concrete type of 10 m or 12 m length, Class C suitable for any
requirement.* Substation base (floor) is filled 0.3 m deep with soil and covered by mixture of cement and broken
bricks
* MV linesVoltage levels: MV lines are designed to accommodate any future voltage level, defined in the
power network development and planning scheme for Thai Nguyen Province. In the long-term,voltage levels 35 kV, 22 kV and 10 kV of MV power networks are used, in conformance with
voltage of existing 110 kV and 35/10 kV substations and transformer station to be built in 2005.Branches supplying power to transformer station at 35 kV will be connected into the existing 35
kV lines and designed at the 35 kV voltage level.
Pole sizeAll poles are 1Om, 12m, 14m, 16m and 20m length of classes A, B, C, D. Pole size selection is
l based on the safe clearance to ground, transportation and traffic structures, crossings,development requirements, sharing of lines for MV and LV voltages. Pole strength is selected
from load requirements.I In general, the use of poles is as follows:
For single circuit lines: cenfrifugal concrete pole 10m, 12m.
* For double circuit lines: centrifugal concrete pole 14m.I * Stayed, crossing positions and special positions: 16m, 20m poles.
Poles are manufactured to Vietnam Standards and Regulations DNT-QDKT-09/2000.
Pole foundationTo support poles, cast in situ M150 concrete foundations are used.
l51
U~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the Project, MT1, MT2.. .MT8 type foundations are used. The selection of foundations for eachposition is specified in the design stage, based on estimations of local soil, geological and hydro-geological conditions.For sand areas, types of cast in-situ excavated foundations: M01, M02, M03, M04 are used.For marshy land areas, foundations should be reinforced by bamboo stakes, bamboo rafts toU strengthen the bearing capacity of foundations and to reduce stress against the foundationsurround.Foundation depth is 10-12% of pole height plus 0.3m.
2.6.2. Low voltageElectricity poleConcrete poles for most lines are H-section type, cast in workshops.
* For 3 phase lines and branches along inter-District, inter-commune roads: 7.5m, 8.5m pole sizes.5 For two wire branches to communes: 6.5m, 7.5m pole sizes.
For 1 phase lines into household groups: 6.5m pole size.3 l A-B-C type poles according to bearing requirements of each position; manufactured to the
standard DNT-QDKT-09/2000.For poles near vehicle transport areas: use 1 Om, 1 2m centrifugal concrete poles to ensure safeclearances.For MV, LV line co-sharing positions: use MV line concrete poles.Most concrete poles are A and B-type poles, manufactured to standard DNT-QDKT-09/2000.Square concrete poles and circular concrete poles are used at the following positions:
* Straight, corner positions of 3 phase trunk lines: single poles; and
I * Corner anchor, straight anchor, end anchor: double poles.
If poles are installed near households, trafficable roads, double poles should be used at corner3 anchoring, straight anchoring, end anchoring positions; stayed tension poles are used only atsuch high bearing positions that double poles could not solve and tension poles are conveniently
I placed;Utilize existing poles which are of good quality and satisfy the standard when installing newconductors.Poles under 7.5m size are not used for 3 phase trunk lines.Poles recovered from lines are to be returned to localities to allow people to re-use poles tosupport supply lines to houses.
Pole foundationTo support line poles, cast in-situ M100 concrete block foundations are used:
* For single poles: use MV1, MV2
* H double poles: use MV3.
The depth of foundations is in proportion to pole heights and is shown in the overall layout of LVpole, cross-arm and foundation.I If double poles cannot satisfy the high bearing requirements and are in tension pole positions, it isrequired to use:
l 12
I D14 tension poles with foundation in proportion to pole height. Tension poles contain /E14round hot dipped steel according to Vietnamese Standards;3 * MN 15-5 anchors buried 1.5-2.Om according to bearing requirements and site clearance;MN 10-10-7 stayed-on-the-spot anchors in sand areas.
l For lines across sand areas (rivers, coastal), cast in-situ M100 concrete excavated foundationsare used, in combination with pre-cast M200 reinforced concrete round pipes with FlO0,U /E1200, 1E1500 diameter.
* For reused pole positions, if conductor size increased by two or more sizes, must increaseconcrete in the existing foundation to ensure bearing requirements are satisfied.

4. ASSESSMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS4.1. CLASSIFICATION OF IMPACTS
The Environmental Impact Assessment focuses on the major environmental issues of theProject's Most Favoured Alternative. The potential impacts of the Project's pre-construction,construction, and operation phases were assessed as being in one of five categories:
i. NO IMPACT. The potential impact of the Project activity is assessed as NO IMPACT if theproject activity is physically removed in space or time from the environmental component.
ii. MAJOR IMPACT. An impact is said to be MAJOR if the project activity has potential toaffect an environmental component. Major impacts could be "Major Negative" or "MajorPositive." The following criteria were used to determine whether a given impact is MAJOR:
a) Spatial scale of the impact (site, local, regional, or national/ international);
b) Time horizon of the impact (short, medium, or long term);
c) Magnitude of the change in the environmental component brought about by the
Project activities (small, moderate, large);
d) Importance to local human populations;
e) Compliance with national, provincial, or district environmental protection laws,standards, and regulations
f) Compliance with Vietnam's international commitments. These include theConvention on Wetlands of International Importance especially as WaterfowlHabitat (RAMSAR), the Convention Concerning the Protection of the WorldCultural and Natural Heritage (World Heritage Convention), and the Convention onInternational Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES); and
g) Compliance with World Bank guidelines, policies, and regulations.
iii. MINOR IMPACT. If an impact occurs but does not meet the criteria for a Major Impact it isassigned the category MINOR. Minor impacts could be "Minor negative" or "MinorPositive."
* MITIGABLE IMPACT. The potential impact of a project activity on an environmental component is
said to be MITIGABLE if there is potential for a major negative impact and the proposed mitigationmeasure will prevent the impact or reduce the impact to acceptable levels.

l 4.2. IDENTIFICATION OF POTENTIAL IMPACTS OF THE PROJECT
The Project will play an important role in the electrification program and in implementationI of the policy of poverty alleviation of 30 communes within 6 districts of Thai Nguyen province. Itwill also promote the policy of industrialization and modernization of the Government of Vietnamas well as create a great opportunity for overall socio-economic development of the poor area.
When the distribution lines are constructed, there is a trend of local people to move to livenear the lines. The local people committee will have a proper planning accordingly to support thedevelopment of the areas. These planning are included: road, residential area, industrialdevelopment and farming etc. The communes/districts will move toward its planning.
Beside the significant beneficial impacts, the project may cause different adverse impactson the environment and local socio-economy. By using Environmental Screening Data Checklistand Environmental baseline Checklist as guided in Framework for Applying EnvironmentSafeguards to Rural Energy I Project, The potential impacts of the Project are described in Table4.1.

carefully considered in order to avoid crossing housesand other structures; wrong positioning of poles;minimizing temporary and minimizing land acquisition.
3 Impacts associated with clearing the Small Long - 1,199 tree > 4 m will be cut; Mitigable
ROW - 5,015 trees < 4 m will be cut;
- 204,863 m2 of agricultural trees (rice and dry crops) willbe affected by the Project.
- The lines are not going through any forested areas orareas with highly ecological value.
- Acquired lands are mainly un-used land along theexisting road, crossing agricultural fields with very lowecological values.
- See Table 4.4, 4.5 for information on number of trees tobe cut. These trees have value in economics (industrial,fruit trees) rather than environmental.
4 Health risk due to explosives, None None - The area is very intensively used by local government No Impact
chemical hazard and people. There is no risk of explosives;
- No hazardous chemicals are used in the Project.
18
No Impact Magnitude Duration Description of the impacts Evaluationof impacts
- Some old transformers will be removed from thenetworks. These transformers were in use about 10years ago and were almost produced by localmanufacturing companies, so no PCBs were used.Therefore there will not be any potential of PCBs riskduring removal of old transformers from the distributionnetworks.

4.3. PROJECT IMPACT ON TAMDAO NATIONAL PARK4.3.1. INTRODUCTION ON TAM DAO NATIONAL PARK
_VT-~Itt-*v
Tam Dao was included on Decision No. 41/TTg of the Prime Minister, dated 24 January 1977,
which decreed the establishment of a 19,000 ha nature reserve (MARD 1997). In 1993, the Forest
Inventory and Planning Institute (FIPI) prepared an investment plan, which proposed upgrading
the nature reserve to national park status. The total area of the national park given in the
investment plan was 36,883 ha, comprising a strict protection area of 17,295 ha, a forest
rehabilitation area of 17,286 ha, and an administration and services area of 2,302 ha (Anon.
1993). On 6 March 1996, the investment plan was approved by Prime Ministerial Decision No.
136/TTg. Subsequently, a national park management board was established by the former
Ministry of Forestry on 15 May 1996 (Tam Dao National Park Management Board in litt. 2000).
The management board currently has 90 members of staff, based at 15 guard stations, and is
under the management of MARD (Tam Dao National Park Management Board in lift. 2003).
Tam Dao is included on a list of Special-use Forests to be established by the year 2010,
prepared by the FPD of MARD, as a 36,883 ha national park (FPD 2003); this list has not yet
been approved by the government. According to Tam Dao National Park Management Board (in
litt. 2003), however, the total area of the national park is only 34,995 ha.
Tam Dao National Park is located in Son Duong district, Tuyen Quang province, Dai Tu
district, Thai Nguyen province, and Lap Thach, Tam Dao and Me Linh districts, Vinh Yen
province. The national park lies along a massif, which runs from north-west to south-east, and is
isolated from other high-elevation areas by intervening areas of low elevation. There are several
peaks over 1,300 m in the national park, the highest of which is Mount Tam Dao Bac at 1,592 m.
The lowest point in the national park is c.100 m.
Tam Dao National Park lies within the catchments of two major rivers: the north-east face of
the massif lies within the catchments of the Cong river, while the south-west face lies within the
catchments of the Day river. Most of the streams and rivers in the national park are steep and fast
flowing. Tam Dao experiences a tropical monsoon climate. The mean annual rainfall of around
2,800 mm is concentrated in the rainy season from April to October, when 90% of the total rainfall
occurs. During the dry season, rainfall and humidity at higher elevations can be very low, making
these areas susceptible to forest fire.
According to the investment plan, Tam Dao supports 21,982 ha of natural forest and 1,351 ha
of plantation forest. The natural forest is of two main types: lowland evergreen forest and lower
26
montane evergreen forest. Lowland evergreen forest is distributed at elevations between 700 andI 800 m, and is heavily degraded. The diversity of tree species in this forest type is high, with theFabaceae, Dipterocarpaceae, Meliaceae, Burseraceae, Myrtaceae and Anacardiaceae familiesbeing well represented. Lower montane evergreen forest is distributed above 800 m. Members ofU the Dipterocarpaceae family are almost entirely absent from this forest type, which is dominatedby species in the Fagaceae, Lauraceae, Magnoliaceae, Aceraceae, Theaceae, Hamamelidaceae,3 Sapotaceae and Ericaceae families. Also in this forest type, a number of conifer species arepresent, such as Decussocarpus fleuryi, Amentotaxus argotaenia, Podocarpus imbricatus andI Fokienia hodginsii. In addition to the two main forest types, Tam Dao National Park supports 669ha of elfin forest, dominated by species in the Ericaceae and Theaceae families (Anon. 1993).
Tam Dao National Park has been the focus of some of the highest levels of herpetologicalsurvey effort in Vietnam, and a large number of reptile and amphibian species have beenrecorded there. A number of the amphibian species recorded at Tam Dao were assessed asU globally threatened during the Global Amphibian Assessment, including Theloderma corticale, T.gordoni and Vietnamese Salamander Paramesotriton deloustali (IUCN-SSC and Cl-CABS 2003).
3 Tam Dao National Park also supports some of the highest levels of recorded insect diversity inVietnam (Anon. 1991). Although, again, this may partly reflect the high levels of survey effort atTam Dao compared with other sites.
Tam Dao National Park qualifies as an Important Bird Area because of its importance for theconservation of biome-restricted bird species. In particular, the site supports a number of biome-I restricted species that are known from few other sites in Vietnam, such as Blue-naped Pitta Pittanipalensis, Purple Cochoa Cochoa purpurea, Chestnut-headed Tesia Tesia castaneocoronata,3 Pale-footed Bush Warbler Cettia pallidipes and Greater Rufous-headed Parrotbill Paradoxomisruficeps (Tordoff 2002).
l S _-. I
Around 150,000 people live in the buffer zone of Tam Dao National Park, placing highpressure on its natural resources. This problem is compounded by weak enforcement of forestmanagement regulations. Consequently, levels of timber and fuelwood extraction, hunting, andI other illegal activities are high relative to certain other national parks in Vietnam.
The major causes of forest loss and degradation at Tam Dao are logging and fire. The forest atl Tam Dao National Park has been selectively logged for many years. Prior to 1985, this activity
took place only at low levels, as local authorities punished illegal wood-cutters. After 1991,however, the intensity of selective logging increased, in response to increased demand for timber.
7 All logging activities were conducted on a small scale by local people, and no private or stateforest enterprises were involved (Anon. 1991).
ll ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~27
Forest fires have led to the loss of large areas of forest at all elevations. Some forest fires may
have been set deliberately to clear land for tea plantations. According to Anon. (1991), the rate of
forest loss due to fires increased significantly after 1991. The seasonal climate at Tam Dao
makes the forest particularly susceptible to this threat.
Over-exploitation is a particular threat to wildlife populations of Tam Dao National Park. Wildlife
is freely sold in the restaurants of Tam Dao town. Populations of certain insect species are
threatened by over-collection by local people, who sell the insects to collectors and tourists;
certain groups of insects are collected on a relatively large scale by organised groups. Medicinal
plants and orchids are also over-exploited for sale to tourists. The Vietnamese Salamander
population is threatened by habitat loss, collection for the pet trade (the species can be found on
sale at Dong Xuan market in Hanoi) and pollution of the streams in which the species lives. Many
of these threats are directly associated with the development of tourism within the national park.
The future management arrangements for Tam Dao National Park are currently under review.
Vinh Phuc, Thai Nguyen and Tuyen Quang provinces have proposed that management
responsibility for the national park be transferred to them from MARD. However, there are
concerns that transferring the national park to the three provinces may lead to accelerated
degradation of its natural resources, and facilitate further incompatible infrastructure development
within its boundaries (Vietnam News 2003).
Tam Dao town, which lies within the boundaries of Tam Dao National Park, was originally
developed as a hill station by the French colonialists in the early 20th century. In recent years, the
town has been re-established as a site for tourism, and now receives thousands of domestic and
foreign tourists each year. If well managed, tourism could be an important source of revenue for
the national park, and make a positive contribution to the conservation of its biodiversity.
However, with the existence of a number of wildlife restaurants, the sale of insects, orchids and
other forest products, and the increased demand for fuelwood, the development of tourism is
currently having a number of significant negative environmental impacts.
In addition to the value of the site for tourism, the forest at Tam Dao has an important role
in protecting the water resources of communities in the surrounding area.

4.3.2. INTRODUCTION ON HO NUI COC PROPOSED CULTURAL AND HISTORICAL SITE
Ho Nui Coc (Nui Coc reservoir) was included on Decision No. 194/CT of the Chairman of the
Council of Ministers, dated 9 August 1986 (MARD 1997), which decreed the establishment of a
6,000 ha cultural and historical site for the protection of "forests for environment and renowed
landscape" (Cao Van Sung 1995). To date, however, a cultural and historical site has not been
established at Ho Nui Coc.
In 1991, an investment plan was prepared to establish a watershed protection forest to protect
the catchment of Nui Coc reservoir. Subsequently, the establishment of a watershed protection
forest management board was approved by Thai Nguyen Provincial People's Committee. The
management board currently has nine members of staff, and is under the management of Thai
Nguyen Provincial DARD (Nui Coc Forest Protection Unit in litt. 2003).
Ho Nui Coc is included on a list of Special-use Forests to be established by the year 2010,
prepared by the FPD of MARD, as a 6,000 ha cultural and historical site (FPD 2003); this list has
not yet been approved by the government. According to Nui Coc Forest Protection Unit (in litt.2003), the total area of the watershed protection forest is 11,494 ha.
Ho Nui Coc Cultural and Historical Site is centred on Nui Coc reservoir, a water storage
reservoir 2,580 ha in area, with a capacity of 175 million cubic metres. The reservoir was created
in 1977 by damming the Cong river, a tributary of the Red River (Scott 1989). The site is located
to the north-east of the Tam Dao massif, and is surrounded by low hills. There are some small
islands in the reservoir.
The vegetation at the site is dominated by scrub and grassland, characterised by Rhodomyrtus
tomentosa, Melastoma candidum, Cratoxylon spp. and Eupatorium odoratum. All of these speciesare typical of open habitats in an early successional stage following massive disturbance. No
information is available on the aquatic vegetation of the reservoir (Scott 1989).
At least 10 native fish species occur in the lake, and about 40 bird and 15 mammal species
have been recorded at the site. Previously, it was reported that some waterfowl species use Nui
Coc reservoir as a wintering site, including Lesser Whistling-duck Dendrocygna javanica,
Common Teal Anas crecca and Northern Pintail A. acuta (Scott 1989). However, the current
importance of the site for migratory waterfowl is not known.
29
Until the 1970s, dense forests covered the hills surrounding the site. However, most of thisforest cover has since been lost as a result of over-exploitation of forest products. Since 1986,some reforestation was carried out on the denuded slopes around the reservoir in an effort toprevent further deforestation and, thereby, reduce the siltation rate of the reservoir (Scott 1989).
The main threats to biodiversity at the site are over-exploitation of firewood and timber, andclearance of forest for agriculture in the catchment of the reservoir, leading to severe increases inthe siltation rate, with impacts on the aquatic ecosystem. The cultivation of cassava and othercrops still occurs inside the cultural and historical site, while the grazing of domestic cattle ispreventing natural regeneration of vegetation (Scott 1989).

People are living in Project area in Tam Dao National Park. Main income generationactivities are agricultural practices, especially tea cultivation. There are an evidence of forestexploitation in whole Tam Dao NP. In the core zone of Tam Dao NP, speciement of buteflies andinsects are sold in suvemir shops. Alive squirells, worms, turtules are sold also. But theseanimals are common, widely distributed species in the area. Van Yen, Phu Xuyen, Yen Langcommunes are in the edge of NP, far from tourist center, so no these speciement are sold in thesite. But in the market or in restaurant the wildlife meats are used as a food. Pig-meat, chow-meat, goat-meat are commonly available.
Project will be carried out in population areas. All of the substations are located outsideNP. Distribution lines are going along the transportation roads. No forest trees are cut. WithinROW, there are mainly shrub trees. The height of cut trees are mainly less than 4 m.

* Safeguard Independent Monitoring Consultant (SIMC)SIMC will be hired by the Project owners to monitor the implementation of the EMP. Due to the fact
that RE projects are usually short so SIMC will carry out the work 2 times during
construction periodu One time is about 1 or 2 months after starting time and the second
time will be at the end of the construction work.
EXAMPLE ENVIRONMENTAL TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR SIMC
The Safeguard Independent Monitoring Consultant will:
1. Visually look at the construction sites and make notes related to the following environmienital issues, but not
limited to:• General clean up after construction works,
. Excessive clear cutting of trees beyond ROW in communal or forest land,
• Measures taken by the contractor for cleaning up woody residues after tree cutting
* Status of access roads (have they been closed if in a protected area, are they still being used and to what
extent, how are they being controlled/managed and by whom), Application of mitigation measures for or
sign of soil erosion along T/L due to tree cutting and/or around tower foundation
. Status of re-vegetation in the ROWs and tower foundation
. Impacts on construction works (level of noise, dust, and damage to roads due to earthworks and
transportation of building materials)• Status of construction worker camps and sanitation facilities for them
* Proper distance between the houses and T/L,
. Status of implementation of safety measures (signboards, restricted zone, fences, isolation etc.)
2. Conduct public consultation to:
• Assess the level of involvement by the local authorities in dealing with environmental issues (dust, noise,
and damage to roads due to the transport of construction materials, tree cutting on public lands and
protected areas).. Identify any other environmental issues and record environmental complaints from the PAH-Is.
• Report on responses (if any) from appropriate local authorities on environmental complaints or non-
compliance
* Construction ContractorThe construction contractor will submit to PC 1 monthly progress reports on the
implementation of their site environmental management plan (SEM
* Communeso Each participating commune will submit monthly reports to PC 1 during construction phase. If
deemed necessary by WB, EVN, or MoNRE, the communes can also submit reports during
pre-construction and operation periods. The commune-level reporting process needs to be
simple, consistent between communes, and accountable.

hospital staff and patients restng, so they need quiet during this time.* More care should be taken to clean up construction camps
C Contractor should make sure to keep piles of dirt in designated working areas. More safety equipment and training programs should be given to construction workers to reduce accidents. especially for the local
workers because they don't know much about worker safety
