Statistics and surveys showed that there are 84 affected households who have trees/vegetable being cut off with 4,414 trees and 2,400m2 of vegetable. Affected trees and



vegetable include: 1). Trees and vegetable in the planned sis area and foundation of towers; 2). All trees in the area of foundation of tower and high trees in the ROW. Those are trees less than 3m away from the conductors, measured from top of the tree (when the trees have developed to the maximum) to the line and the trees may tough the line upon falling down.

For coffee in the ROW, they will not impact the operation of the power system as well as the safety on electricity. However, during construction, compensation will be made for the high trees which fall down (temporarily estimated 30%/tree).

total area of 787m2

• 01 household being acquired for expanding Eakar substation with total agricultural area of 5,516m2

No No household has to be relocated.

- Any tree higher than 4m in ROW where the transmission line runs through will be cut off. The number of trees being cut down will be as written in table 5.4.

- When constructing the TIL, soil excavation, site clearance and other activities in ROW are unavoidable. The area of ROW (including tower foundation's area) is 402,840m2. All the damage about trees will be appropriately compensated under the regulations of the Government.

No The transmission line and the location of installation the substation does not run through any natural forests, protected forests or nature reserve, so the clearance does not affect the flora and fauna in such areas.

No

No

The sub-project does not use chemical substance and explosive.

The TIL and sis is not in the area where there are cultural, historical and public works so it does not affect on them.

- When excavating soil at tower foundation positions and the substation one (foundation of transformer, shift dorm, control house), the surface soil will be

excavated. When it rains, this surface soil will be eroded and swept away. Materials for construction will be scattered if they are not protected. This will lead to the pollution of the surface water. However, the period of implementation at each normal tower foundation does not last long (about 1 week in maximum). Also, as to not carried out m ramy and stormy seasons, and each item is implemented completely, the soil erosion as well as the pollution of surface water IS inconsiderable.

- Noise and vibration are caused by material transportation means and some activities of the project such as: tower erection, conductor stretching and generator. However, these means and machinery are managed by the expiration date, the construction time is also managed (in daytime), and horns should be limited when crossing residential areas.

- For this project, its position is far from other infrastructure works so there is no impact on them.

- Air pollution can be occurred due to the exhaust and dust of material trucks during transportation, loading materials; or dust during project implementation.

- However, with the average number of 1 truck per week - 2 trips per day for every tower foundation and 2 trucks per month -2 trips per day for substation (implementation in 2 months) (see the main volume in item II.3).Therefore, the level of dust and exhaust by transportation affected on the environment is minor. Moreover, when transporting, materials and equipment will be covered in order to avoid scattering.

- Materials and equipment are transported m long distance from the yard and storehouse of PMU by specific trucks with suitable packing to the temporary project areas. After that, they are transported to the construction sites by 5 tons to 7.5 tons trucks. Building materials such as: sand,

stones, cement will be supplied by the local suppliers and transported directly to the construction sites.

- With the average frequency of transporting as above (item 9) and constructing activities such as: soil excavating and conductor stretching, local traffic obstruction will happen. However, because the local traffic is low and the time for loading materials and equipment is short (about 1 hour), building materials (sand, stones, soil, etc) is loaded by trucks so the level of traffic jam is not high.

No All materials and equipment are in load sharing, suitable for the load of roads. Traffic-ways here are known as highway (the 14 National highway, township roads and some other inter-village, inter-commune roads).

No In the project construction site, there are not many wild animals and plants. The permanent acquisition land is about 130m2

I 1 tower foundation (l08 positions) and Krong pak substation acquired about 5,516m2 and Eakar sis acquired about 787m2. These positions are located far away from each other, III a distance between two tower foundations (about 200m). Therefore, as the level of flora surface clearance as well as land acquisition for animals is not considerable, there is no loss of the biological diversity in the area.

No Solid waste due to soil excavation (remains of soil and stones), tree cutting (body) or construction activities (junk iron, stones, sand, plastic bottles, cement wraps) will be generated during implementation.

No It IS expected to build 01 camp III construction site of substations for workers. Local people's houses will be rented for warehouses and storehouses of material and equipment. Therefore, water and sewages of workers will affect the surrounding environment if no method to

protect the environment is applied.

- There are differences between the workers and local people in income, lifestyle and custom.

- Otherwise, the project will bring benefits to the local community so it gains lots of agreement from the local people as well as the close coordination local Authorities.

Accidents can occur during implementation if safety regulations is not strictly followed, such as: checking tools before use, setting up danger indicators (at sites of incomplete pole foundation, at sites of generators and conductor stretching, sites near roads, sites where loading materials and equipment is being carried out, sites where there are people working high above). These accidents can happen not only to the workers but also to local people.

In the past, this area was at war. However, over years, this area has been exploited and constructed many works, so the remained landmines or bombs after war are inconsiderable.

- Mainly taking part in the attraction of investment and local economIC development because industrial production cannot be done without power.

- Assisting agricultural production and other services including healthcare and education.

No - The project does not build more temporarily access roads.

- After the construction of tower foundation and the tower, the temporary acquired layout will be returned as it was in the past. The entire flora less than 4m in ROW will be remained so the impact to natural environment is inconsiderable. The project is not located in wild land so there

is no impact.

Electrical shocks and other accidents can occur.

No The transmission line and the substation are designed, constructed according to the current regulations and standards of the Power Sector, in which, the calculation of electrical magnetic field negative effects and the standards of electrical safety and safety in operation are applied in order to avoid harm to people. Before putting the project into operation, all safe indicators have to be specified through tests, experiments and acceptance to ensure that they meet the standards and regulations set by the investors, Operational Management Unit, contractors so the operators and the local people will not be harmed by the magnetic field.

No In the project area, there are few flying animals like bats or squirrels but a few kinds of birds and domestic animals, so there is no impact on flying animals. The tower/pole height is about 22 m to 34 m. This area has no air-route. The project will not impact planes, birds or bats.

No The project does not remove the old transformer and does not use the equipment that contains PCB and other dangerous chemical substances. Transformer oil may be leaked in case of failure.

Transformers and other equipment can be exploded and transformer oil can be leaked when faults occur. Therefore, fire-fighting equipment and fault oil tank must be equipped.

V.3. Assessment of subproject impact on the natural habitats and cultural and historical structures:

The line route does not cross and substations are not located in the natural habitats, historical and cultural structures so there is no impact on these areas.

Soil erosion - Soil excavation and refill should be carried out in the shortest time. No excavation in heavy rain.

-Building materials have to be stored in the storehouse to avoid rain.

- The site to mix concrete should be far from surface water resources, do not clean concrete mixing tools directly in ponds and lakes.

- Use unused excavated soil and stone to fill in necessary low area in the garden, or bank up floors of local people houses. These soil and stones should be loaded far from water resources.

- During site clearance for transmission line, burning trees or using chemicals is not allowed so that the flora layer and roots can be retained and erosion risk will be lower.

- Restore the soil surface after tower installation.

Noise and vibration - Using construction machinery which noise level is under permitted level and which expiration date is still available.

Air pollution dust

- Construction should not be carried out in the evenings in sites near hospitals or residential areas.

- For trucks that transporting materials and equipment, do not use hom when paSSIng residential areas, especially at night.

and - Dust due to transporting materials and equipment: spraying water in areas where the frequency of transportation is high and where there is lots of dust, especially in dry and windy season.

- Shorten to the mInImum the duration of constructing at each site. In hot and dry weather, it is necessary to spray water at soil pile and other sources that can cause dust.

- When constructing substation or foundation that are near local people's houses, schools/ or markets, offices (with the distance less than 20m) in strong wind, the soil pile or separated building materials should be covered.

- Do not use diesel generator until it is really necessary.

Traffic disturbance - Reduce to the minimum the excavation and dragging line near areas with high traffic density.
