    Subproject “220kV Quang Ngai - Quy Nhon (Phuoc An) transmission line” is one

    of the subprojects that will be implemented in Phase 1 of Transmission Effeciency

    Projects (TEP) funded by the World Bank.

    Investment of the subproject “220kV Quang Ngai - Quy Nhon (Phuoc An)

    transmission line” is fully suitable with the National Power Development Master Plan in

    the phase of 2011 - 2020 with the vision to 2030 at the Decision No. 1208/QD-TTg dated

    July 21st, 2011 approved by the Prime Minister.

    Activities of the subprojects include:

    + Construct 220kV double-circuit Quang Ngai - Quy Nhon transmission line, in

    which one circuit suspended in advance in 2016. The TL has 139,888m in length, and its

    ROW is 21.2m in width.

    + Construct one 220kV outgoing bay at the 220kV Quang Ngai substation.

    Those activities may cause negative impacts to environment and community during

    the pre-construction, construction and operation phases.

    In order to realize and minimize potential negative impacts during the process of

    project implementation and comply with the Environment Assessment Policy of the

    World Bank (OP/BP 4.01), Environmental management plan (EMP) of the subproject has

    been prepared suitable with the guidelines in the Environment and Society Management

    Framework of the TEP. This EMP consists of description of the subproject, legal and

    policy frameworks, environmental national technical regulations and standards, potential

    negative impacts, mitigation measures proposed to be carried out in the phases of the pre-

    construction, construction and operation, implementation arrangements. Mitigation

    measures proposed in the EMP will be incorporated in bidding documents and contracts

    and attached to environment supervision during the implementation process.

    According to the regulations of the GOV, the subproject has prepared an

    Environmental impact assessment (EIA) report. In April 2014, the EIA report of the

    subproject was submitted to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment for

    appraisal and approval. It has been approved at the Decision No.2063/QD-BTNMT dated

    Sep. 24th

    2.2 World Bank’s safeguard policies.

    Environmental and social screening for the subproject was carried out in compliance

    with and it showed that the WB’s policies on Environmental Assessment (OP 4.01) and

    Forest (OP/OB 4.36) are necessary to be conducted for this Subproject.

    - Environmental Assessment (OP/BP- 4.01): implementation of the subproject will

    construct 220kV Quang Ngai - Quy Nhon double-circuit transmission line with one

    circuit installed in advance in the year of 2016 and construct one 220kV feeder bay at the

    220kV Quang Ngai substation. Hence, the Policy OP/BP-4.01 will be applied to

    guarantee substainability for the project investment and socio-environment aspects;

    supply information of potential socio-environmental impacts of the subproject for

    decision makers. Subproject is screened of environment and society in compliance with

    the criteria in the OP 4.01 and categorized B for environment aspect; Environmental

    safety tool that the subproject shall prepare is Environmental Management Plan.

    - Forests Policy (OP/BP 4.36) is intended to support sustainable and conservation-

    oriented forest management. The Bank helps borrowers harness the potential of forests to

    reduce poverty in a sustainable manner, integrate forests into sustainable economic

    development, and protect vital local and global environmental services and values of

    forests. Local people, the private sector and interest groups in the affected forest area

    should be consulted.

    The policy is triggered considering that some subprojects may involve acquisition of

    forest land for maintaining ROW of the power transmission lines. These activities may

    have the potential to have adverse impacts on the rights and welfare of local people and

    their level of dependence upon low quality natural forests and plantation forests. Impacts

    on forests and associated mitigation measures will be included in the subproject EIA and

    EMP.

    The project will not fund any subproject (1) that would involve significant conversion or

    degradation of critical forest areas or other natural habitats; (2) that contravenes

    applicable international environmental agreements; and (3) that involves any conversion

    or degradation of critical natural habitats, including adjacent or downstream critical

    natural habitats

    - Involuntary resettlement: implementation of the subproject will acquire land

    permanently and temporarily to construct tower foundations of the T/L. Hence, when

  • TEP – 220kV Quang Ngai- Quy Nhon (Phuoc An) transmission line Feasibility Study

    Environmental Management Plan 9

    applying this policy, objectives of this policy is to prevent from serious, long-term

    difficulties, hunger and poverty and environment damages for the affected people during

    the involuntary resettlement process. A resettlement plan for the subproject will be

    prepared to reach the objectives of this policy.

    b) Power post

    Construction volume of power posts are:

    - Volume of form steel: 7,044.16 tons

    - Anchor bolt: 99.28 tons

    c) Conductor

    Total length of conductor types used for the subproject:

    - Conductor ACSR-330: 254.1 km.

    - Conductor ACSR-400: 165.87 km.

    d) Lightning conductor and optical fibre

    + Lightning conductor GSW-70: 139.99 km.

    + Lightning conductor combined with optical fibre OPGW-70: 141.69 km.

    e) Insulator and conductor accessories

    - Insulator: At present, in Vietnam, there are two types of insulators of composite

    and ceramic or glass, each type has typical advantages and disadvantages, so insulator for

    the 220kV Quang Ngai- Quy Nhon (Phuoc An) transmission line will be selected through

    competitive bidding.

    - Accessories for suspending conductor: Accessories for suspending conductor and

    lightning conductor will be suitable with conductor size and ensure conditions of

    corrosion and durability reserve factor as regulations.

    Accessories for suspending conductor are expected to be imported in sync with

    insulator though competitive bidding. Types of cable rings, hangers, couplings shall have

    breaking load suitable with insulator. Insulator strings are designed to have

    electromagnetic balancing ring and arcing horn to improve voltage difference between

    bowls of insulator strings and avoid corona effect in the surface of insulator string.

    + Bear lock of conductor and lightning conductor uses fixed brace bolt lock.

    + Conductor and lightning conductor stay locks use clamp stay lock.

  • TEP – 220kV Quang Ngai- Quy Nhon (Phuoc An) transmission line Feasibility Study

    Environmental Management Plan 16

    + Bear and stay lock of lightning conductor combined with optical fibre use

    dedicated locks for optical fibre.

    f) Compensated damper suspend on insulation string

    Because the T/L goes through mountainous topographical area, difference of

    elevation between tower positions is rather large, some positions of columnar posts will

    reduce gravity tower distance, cause insulating string will be deflected over permission

    limit, and not guarantee required distance on tower.

    To compensate the reduction of gravity tower distance, solution is to suspend

    compensated damper on support insulation string. Weight of compensated damper is

    calculated for each position based on allowable insulation string deflection angle.

    Types of compensated damper used on the line are TB-100, TB-200, TB-300, TB-

    400, corresponding weight are 100kg, 200kg, 300kg, 400kg.

    g) Earthing

    All towers in the transmission line will be grounded suitable with resistivity of each

    area which the T/L crosses over, value of grounded resistivity shall meet standard and

    regulations.

    Earthing on the 220kV transmission line will use ray-type earthing: TD4x30;

    TD4x40 and ray- rod combination earthing: TD4x20-16; TD4x30-24; TD4x40-28.

    - Ray-type earthing TD4x30 : consists of 4 rays grounded by round steel with

    dimension of 12mm, length of each ray is 30m.

    - Ray-type earthing TD4x40 : consists of 4 rays grounded by round steel with

    dimension of 12mm, length of each ray is 40m.

    - Ray-rod combination type earthing TD4x20-16 : consists of 4 rays grounded by

    round steel with dimension of 12mm, length of each ray is 20m. Each ray connected with

    4 steel rod Lx63x63x6 length of 2,5m.

    - Ray-rod combination type earthing TD4x20-24 : consists of 4 rays grounded by

    round steel with dimension of 12mm, length of each ray is 30m. Each ray connected with

    6 steel rod Lx63x63x6 length of 2,5m.

    - Ray-rod combination type earthing TD4x20-28 : consists of 4 rays grounded by

    round steel with dimension of 12mm, length of each ray is 40m. Each ray connected with

    4.3 Climate

    The transmission line locates on Quang Ngai and Binh Dinh provinces which have

    general characteristics of South-East tropical monsoon climate, in addition, climate and

    weather regime of the route area also have characteristics of coastal Central region with

    typical characteristics as below:

    Because of wind stop effect of Truong Son mountain range which is closed to the

    sea at Hai Van mountain pass, tropical air at the south of Hai Van pass denature fully,

    therefore it is less cold in winter, the lowest monthly average temperature is 18.8oC

    (January), the absolute lowest air temperature is 10.2oC, average temperature difference

    between the hottest and coldest months is about 6-7oC.

    Rainy season starts from August and ends on January, the highest rainfall months

    are October and November with average rainfall of 500-600 mm. Total rainfall in rainy

    season account for 80-90% total annual rainfall, dry season is from February to July,

    account for 10-20% total annual rainfall.

    Remarkable weather phenomena in this region are storm, thunder and hot and dry

    westerly wind. Storm season lasts from September to November, annualy there are 1-2

    storms in this region with strong effects.

    Thunder is little, thunder season coincide with summer monsoon, from April to

    October, an average number of thundering days are 50-80.

    Hot and dry westerly wind in the first half of summer, from April to August which is

    rather strong is the reason of extreme air temperature over 40oC and low humidity

    under 25-30%.

    * Wind:

    + Prevailing wind direction

    From October to March (winter monsoon): N, NW (North, North West)

    From April to September (summer monsoon): E, W, SE (East, West, South

    East).

    + Average wind speed: from1.6 m/s

    + Wind Pressure: According to wind pressure division map in National Technical

    Regulation of natural condition data in construction QCVN 02:2009/BXD, wind pressure in

    the route area is defined as below:

    * Communes in the subproject area:

  • TEP - 220kV Quang Ngai – Quy Nhơn (Phuoc An) transmission line Feasibility Study

    Enviromental Management Plan 35

    Agroforestry industry is a major contribution to the economy of communes where the

    220kV Quang Ngai - Quy Nhon (Phuoc An) line goes through, accounting for 70-75% of

    GDP. In the subproject area, agricultural crops are mainly rice and vegetables (beans,

    peanuts, sesame, melon,...); forestry crops are mainly acacia, eucalyptus (paper material).

    In addition to farming, farmers in the region also focuses on development of

    livestock (buffaloes, cows,...) for traction, and poultry to provide nutrients and increase

    revenue.

    The area of agricultural land in the communes in 2012 is presented in Table 10:

    (Source: Report on socio-economic the subproject area in 2012)

    b) Industry:

    * Quang Ngai province:

    The value of industrial production, service, and trade is estimated at 120,000 billion

    VND, accounting for 102% of the target, the value of port cargo throughput is estimated at

    12 million tons, reaching 160% of the plan. Creating new jobs for 600 workers, reaching

    60% of the plan

    In Quang Ngai industrial zones, there have been 80 projects attracted with a total

    registered capital of nearly 5,000 billions VND, of which 44 projects are now actively

    operational, creating frequent jobs for more than 8,000 workers

    * Binh Dinh province:

    The industrial production value is estimated at 8,056.2 billion (1994 constant price),

    accounting for 93% of the plan, but increasing 8.1% compared with 2011; in which, most

    economic sectors grow, such as the state enterprise sector increased by 12.7%; non-state

    enterprises sector increased by 6.2%; individual household sector increased by 12.6%;

    foreign investment sector increased by 14.2% compared with 2011. In 30 major industrial

    products of the province, there are 21 products, of which theirs production ouput increased

    over the same phase. Some other products increased significantly such as: titanium ore

    increased by 36.7%, titanium ore concentrate increased by 23.4%, bottled beer by 23.4%,

    fish fillet and chilled fresh fish increased by 21.5%, cattle feed increased by 16%, solution

    of serum protein increased by 22.4%. The products that decrease are: Refined Standar sugar,

    stone exploited for construction, tiles etc.

  • TEP - 220kV Quang Ngai – Quy Nhơn (Phuoc An) transmission line Feasibility Study

    Enviromental Management Plan 37

    Overall, the value of industrial production continued to grow despite not reaching its

    target which represents a great effort by all levels and branches of goverment in directing and

    resolving difficulties for enterprises. Regarding enterprises, they have also attempted to

    overcome difficulties in the difficult conditions of the domestic economy. In 2012, the

    enterprises of garment industry had organized production and business activities efficiently,

    and had signed many orders directly with foreign countries like America, Japan, Korea,

    Canada, etc. contributing to improve exports and stablize livelihood, employment for

    workers. However, there were still many enterprises processing product, which were the

    strength of the province, such as seafood processing and exporting, wood, rocks, minerals and

    titanium, etc. were moderately active due to lack of raw materials or price input is too high,

    narrow markets, low competitiveness.

    * Communes in the subproject area:

    The communes in the subproject area are rural agricultural communes, therefore, the

    industry virtually undeveloped. There are 2 communes: Pho Phong commune - Duc Pho

    district - Quang Ngai province and Nhon Hoa Ward - An Nhon town - Binh Dinh Province

    that had industrial zone. These industrial zones also had created works for local labors. The

    major industries in the industrial zone were wood processing, granite, cattle feed processing,

    garment.

    c) People’s income

    According to the socio-economic survey of the mission team of the PECC4 in March

    2014, most of the income of households where the route passes through mainly came from

    agriculture. Per capita income was from 450,000-550,000 VND/person/month, especially

    there were households that only reached 300,000 VND/person/month

    d) Transportation

    The subproject mainly passes through communes with flat terrain (plain), therefore

    the transportation in the area is well-developed. In addition to the Highway No. 1A,

    Highway No. 24, Highway No. 19, transport system of provincial road, and inter-communal

    road are also well-developed as well, which meet the needs of communication between the

    subproject area and other areas

    100% inter-communal roads are asphalted; inter-village roads are expanded,

    concreted or bricked in accordance to the program of the state and people working together.

    4.5.2 Public Health:

    100% communes in the subproject area have medical personnel and clinics.

    However, some clinics still lack of facilities, equipment and manpower, but generally has

    met the medical needs of people.

  • TEP - 220kV Quang Ngai – Quy Nhơn (Phuoc An) transmission line Feasibility Study

    Enviromental Management Plan 38

    4.5.3 Education:

    100% communes in the subproject area have primary schools, junior secondary

    schools. 100% communes in the subproject area has eliminated illiteracy.

    The social situation of the communes in the recent years was relatively stable

    4.6 Ecology.

    According to the result of field survey conducted by PECC4 in March and April

    2014, the entire 220kV Quang Ngai - Qui Nhon (Phuoc An) transmission line goes mainly

    through flat land, paddy fields, crops; plantations of acacia, eucalyptus, Azadizacta indica

    tree (raw material for paper production) of local people; a small portion of the route goes

    through natural forests with poor resources that are assigned to local people to take care and

    protect. The route is divided into the following major sections:

    + Sections: G11-G16, G16-G24, G24-G35, G39-G41, G60-G62 mainly go over

    hillsides, low mountains, fragmented terrains with average slope of 1500-200

    0, terrain altitude

    varying from 20-200m. Vegetation cover is mainly acacia plantations (paper material) and a

    few Ib, Ic, IIB productive natural forests. The planted productive forest area (mostly plantations

    of acacia from 1-8 years old) is in the ROW. Productive forest area has been assigned to people

    by the CPCs (FLA format) to take care and protect. For protective forest, the route has 11,700m

    in length going through protective forest and 850m in length going through natural protective

    forest that is under management of Hoai Nhon protective forest management board (managing

    from G16 to G24) and Phu My protective forest management board (managing from G24 -

    G35).

    + The remaining sections pass through flat terrain with mostly rice fields and crops. A

    few sectios cut through some small decentralized residential areas. Vegetation cover on these

    route sections are mainly rice and vegetables (peas, corn, sugar cane,...), fruit trees (of which

    sections cutting through residential areas).

    a) Vegetation

    Overall, the vegetation cover in the line route area is poor due to strong impact

    caused by human

    * Natural flora:

    Some sections of the line in the G9-G18, G33-G35, G39-G42 goes through terrain

    which is mostly hills, low mountains (300m in altitude), with an average slope of 100-30

    0,

    and is not much difficult when approaching. On the other hand, traffic in the subproject

    areas is developed in natural forest which have been strongly affected by human

    - The total length of the route going through the natural forest land is 9,576 m. Based

    on the assessment report on environmental impact of the subproject, the followings have

    been identified:

  • TEP - 220kV Quang Ngai – Quy Nhơn (Phuoc An) transmission line Feasibility Study

    Enviromental Management Plan 39

    + 8,726m section is low-value forest with no reserves and grassland, shrub which

    was assigned to local people to reforest and take care

    The forest status is mostly low-value secondary forest with no existed valuable large

    trees, and with vacant land or bushes. The species in this area are less diversed in

    composition and are species with wide ecological amplitude, and distributed in the

    surrounding areas such as bamboo species, Fagaceae, Meliaceae, Clusiaceae, Annonaceae,

    Melastomaceae, Urticaceae, Araceae, etc.

    Forest land is scattered in the subproject area into small parts mixed with agricultural

    land and acacia plantations. The common species in this type of flora are walnut

    (Juglandaceae), areca (Asteraceae), grass species of Poaceae familia, etc.

    There are 850m of G34 - G35 section at Ho Voi lake’s upstream having natural forest

    with IIB status, which is a form of restored young forest that has the reserves of 30m3/ha

    and was assigned to Phu My Protective forest Management Board for protection purpose.

    * Artificial vegetation:

    Rice fields, vegetable gardens

    They are distributed in areas with flat terrain, river, and canals; areas that are near the

    residential area; areas that have good soil with little floods, and being favorable of water in

    dry season; and areas with high plant restructuring. This part of vegetation cover accounts

    for the majority of land in the ROW.

    Mixed garden, fruit trees, cashew trees

    This landscape appears in the residential areas. Mixed gardens provide food, fruit,

    reduction in temperature and air purification, keeping the balance of the ecosystem, shelters

    for birds, and reptiles which are the natural enemies of many orchard pests for, etc. Mixed

    gardens offer fruits like banana, guava, orange, plum, coconut,... and provide a portion of

    fuel daily.

    Forest plantation

    - Forest plantation is mainly hybrid acacia plantations (paper materials) that are on the

    hillside, sloping land allocated for the local households.

    - Protective forest plantations are mainly hybrid acacia plantations which are under the

    management of two units: Hoai Nhon Protective forest Management Board and Phu My

    Protective forest Management Board.

    - Acacia, Azadizacta indica trees have average height of 5-12m, average diameter of

    100-700mm, and density of 0.11trees / m2.

    - Agarwood has the average height of 1-4m, average diameter of 30-70mm, density of

    0.25 plants/m2.
