1, INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE OF WORK 1 .I. 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 of providing electricity to about 12 million rural households through:

- An effective strategy for rural electrification with special focus on provision of energy to tlie remote mo~~ntainous areas;

- 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 17 communes in 7 districts (Bao Thang, Bao Yen, Van Ban, Si Ma Cai, Bat Xat, Muong Khuong and Lao Cai city) of Lao Cai province.

- 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 managerialltechr~ical 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 econorr~ic 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 power 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 materials8, 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; - Gradually modernize the distribution power network.

2.4. SOME OF MAIN TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE PROJECT Electricity pole Concrete 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. For two wire branches to communes: 6.5m1 7.5m pole sizes. For 1 phase lines into household groups: 6.5m pole size. A-0-C type poles according to bearing requirements of each position; manufactured to the standard DNT-QDKT-0912000. For poles near vehicle transport areas: use 10 m, 12 m centrifugal concrete poles to ensure safe clearances. For MV, LV line co-sharing positions: use MV line concrete poles. Most concrete poles are A and B-type poles, nianufactured to standard DNT-QDKT-0912000. Square concrete poles and circular concrete poles are used at the following positions:

Straight, corner positions of 3 phase trunk lines: single poles; and

Corner anchor, straight anchor, end anchor: double poles. If poles are installed near households, trafficable roads, double poles should be used at corner anchoring, straight anchoring, end anchoring positions; stayed tension poles are used only at such high bearing positions that double poles could not solve and tension poles are conveniently placed; Utilize existing poles which are of good quality and satisfy the standard when installing new conductors. 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 lpoles to support supply lines to houses.

Pole foundation To support line poles, cast in-situ MI00 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 (about 10% of pole height) If double poles cannot satisfy the high bearing requirements and are in tension pole positions, it is required to use:

014 tension poles with foundation in proportion to pole height. Tension poles contain E l 4 round hot dipped steel according to Vietnamese Standards;

MN 15-5 anchors buried 1 -5-2.0m according to bearing requirements and site clearance;

MN 10-10-7 stayed-on-the-spot anchors in sand areas. For lines across sand areas (rivers, coastal), cast in-situ MI00 concrete excavated foundations are used, in corrlbination with pre-cast M200 reinforced concrete round pipes with E1000, E1200, El 500 diameter. For reused pole positions, if conductor size increased by two or more sizes, must increase concrete in the existing folundation to ensure bearing requirements are satisfied.

4. ASSESSMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS 4.1. CLASSIFICA'TION OF IMPACTS

The Environmental Impact Assessment focuses on the major environmental issues of the Project's Most Favoured Alternative. The potential impacts of the Project's pre-constr~~ction, 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 the project 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 pc~tential to affect an environn~ental component. Major impacts could be "Major Negative" or "Major Positive." The followiqg criteria were used to determine whether a given impact is MAJOR:

a) Spatial scale of the impact (site, local, regional, or nationall 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 activi.ties (small, moderate, large);

d) Importance to local human populations;

e) Compliance with national, provincial, or district environmental protectiorl laws, standards, and regulations

f) Compliance with Vietnam's international commitments. These include the Convention on Wetlands of lnternational Importance especially as Waterfowl Habitat (RAMSAR), the Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage (World Heritage Convention), and the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES); and

g) Corr~pliance 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 is assigned the category MINOR. Minor impacts could be "Minor negative" or "Minor Positive."

MITIGABLE IMPACT. The potential impact of a project activity on an enviror~mental component is said to be MITIGABLE if there is potential for a major negative impact and the proposed rr~itigation measure will prevent the impact or reduce the impact to acceptable levels.

4.2. IDENTIFICATION OF POTENTIAL IMPACTS OF THE PROJECT

The Project will play an important role in the electrification program and in implementation of the policy of poverty alleviation of 16 communes within 7 districts of Lao Cai province. It will also promote the policy of industrialization and modernization of the Government of Vietnam as well as create a great opportunity for overall socio-economic development of the poor area.

When the distribution lines are constr~~cted, there is a trend of local people to move to live near the lines. The local people committee will have a proper planning accordingly to support the development of the areas. These planning are included: road, residential area, industrial development and farming etc. The communesldistricts will move toward its planning.

Beside t l ~ e significant beneficial impacts, the project may cause different adve~rse impacts on the environment and local socio-economy. By using Environmental Screening Data Checklist and Environmental baseline Checklist as guided in Framework for Applying Environment Slafeguards to Rural Energy I Project, The potential impacts of the Project are described in Table 4.1.

- See Table 14 4 fcr ln:'ormat~on on nurcber cf trees to be cut. These trees have value in economics (fruit trees) rather than environmental.

- The area is very intensively used by local government and people. There is no risk of explosives;

- No hazardous chemicals are used in the Project.

- Some old transformers will be removed from the networks. These transformers were in use about 10 years ago and were almost produced by local manufacturing companies, so no PCBs were used. Therefore there will not be any potential of PCBs risk during removal of old transformers from the distribution networks.

- The routes are designed to avoid temples, churches and other cultural, historical properties in the areas, so the Project will not effect any cultural heritages

- During construction if there is any valuable historical or cultural properties are found underground, the Contractor and Project owner will report to local Department of Culture and information for further consideration.

Short - Noise levels during construction will be required to comply with Vietnamese standard TCVN 5949:1998. Use of construction machinery will be limited due to the small scale of the project (distribution as opposed to transmission lines), and the very short period of time involved in construction activities. Construction will be done by mainly manually combined with mechanical.

Magnitude

- Noise and vibration are caused by: equipment, material transportation, project's vehicles, pole's erection and cable's pulling, generators (if there is any).

- During construction will use some of the equipment transportation to transport pole and materials. However, the project spread in the 17 communes so the impacts are not significant.


Duration

- Vegetation cover is reduced due to ROW clearance and access roads' construction. - In terms of soil erosion, the impact is considered to be minor due to the small scale of the activities involved, the limited period over which they will occur, and the spatially small areas to be affected. Furthermore, these impacts could be reduced to less than minor with implementation of mitigation measures
