In each in each referred to as "Components". The sum of activities with the environmental sanitation improvement activities devised in accordance Sub-Projects have been city is referred to as a "Sub-Project". Activities in all detailed in Item 2 Study (FS) and other preparatory analyses and are recommendations of a Feasibility Management (Item 3), the for Environmental below. The Summary EA also presents the Project Framework Item 5 assesses the potential environmental affected areas (Item 4). Baseline Conditions in the potentially mitigation and monitoring measures to address those impacts of the proposed activities and recommends Management Plan (EMP), recommendations that cannot be avoided. Alternatives, a Phase 1 Environmental of potential Phase 2 Sub-Projects, and the for Environmental Monitoring and Reporting, an assessment and 10, respectively. The Summary EA and supporting Proposed Budgets are presented in Items 6, 7, 8, 9 of both the Government of Vietnam (GoV) Sub-Project EAs have been prepared to meet the requirements In addition to the socio-economic impacts process. and the World Bank as part of the project preparation of the proposed Phase 1 activities are separately aspects addressed herein, the potential resettlement assessed in an accompanying Resettlement Plan.

ALTERNATIVES
6.2 The "Without Project" Alternative World Bank procedures for category A projects require the consideration of the "without projecf' situation. In the absence of funding from the World Bank, other multilateral development bank or bilateral aid organization, it is likely assumed that GoV would be unable to make the investments needed to improve environmental sanitation in the near future, if at all. Public health risks and costs would increase. Economic development lead by tourism would be threatened. The decline in environmental sanitation conditions and related institutional capabilities would be exacerbated by:
-

Population increases. In contrast to recorded (1992 - 2002) annual population growth rate of 1.5 percent, the official projection for 2003 - 2020 range is nearly five percent. Increased generation of pollutants. The generation and management requirements of liquid and solid wastes are expected to increase at even higher rates due to improving per capita economic
conditions.

Delays in implementing the project could also lead to increased costs and social impacts at a later date. Current facility sites and needed right-of-way (ROW) areas might no longer be available. In light of these considerations, the "without project" alternative is seen as neither prudent nor in the best interest of the potentially affected population.

6.3

Alternatives related to Components 1 and 2 include the following. Scheduling Options for Household Connections to the New Sewer System 6.2.1 The possibility of connecting households in Phase 1 lbefore the wastewater treatment plants are completed was Phase 2 considered. Doing so would result in varying volumes of untreated wastewater discharged in the receiving waters thereby increasing: to

-

Pollution levels in the receiving water bodies. Exposure of human and livestock to polluted water. The risk of waterborne diseases - diarrhea, cholera, typhoid and dysentery.

If this option were selected, household connections to the new sewer system would be made during construction of the sewer and before the proposed WWTPs are operational in year 2 or 3 of Phase 2. The results of the assessment and hydraulic modelling calculations of this option are provided in main report and indicate that for the most part, the incremental effect of the new connections would be relatively small. Combined with the existing conditions as described above, however, the dilution and dispersion capacity of the receiving water bodies, with the possible exception of Nha Trang Outlet 2 and Pumping Station Outlet, are not adequate to assimilate current discharge levels within national water quality standards. Disallowing new household connections in all other areas is therefore incorporated in project design as a mitigation measure in lieu of this alternative. The question of whether to retain existing septic tanks in service after connections to the collection system, to retain the newer ones, or to completely abandon all in Phase 1 arises only in regard to Outlet 2. The issue will arise in all catchment areas, however, in Phase 2. Studies preparatory to CCESP indicate that most septic tanks in the Project Area are either not designed properly, not functioning adequately or both and that 87 percent of the wastewater penetrates to the surrounding soil. If so, unless actions are taken to rehabilitate the septic tanks, most wastewater will be lost through the septic tanks to the surrounding ground and very little will be transferred to the treatment plants if they are retained in service after the house connections are made. The alternative of retaining the septic tanks and instituting a program for or mandating their rehabilitation has been considered as an alternative. If retained, all should be 100% watertight with confirmation by appropriate and recognized tests undertaken by CCESP. The decision to retain should not be based on the age - i.e. whether recently constructed or not, or whether likely to leak or not but rather that they are currently watertight and are more than likely to remain so. Doing so would be costly and is considered unwarranted if the WWTPs are designed for domestic wastewater consistent with direct connection to the system. Accordingly the alternative of retaining the septic tanks has been considered but is not recommended. The abandonment of septic tanks at the time of connection has been proposed as integral aspect of the project as a means of mitigating impacts to groundwater quality. 6.4 Alternatives Related to Component 3: Solid Waste Management Alternatives to proposed actions to create the Luong Hoa Sanitary Landfill were assessed by the International Consultant during the preparation of the FS for the proposed new Luong Hoa sanitary landfill facility. In addition to the final land fill recommendations of the study, alternatives considered included: incineration; pyrolysis (the use of heat to break down complex chemical substances into simpler substances), recycling, and composting. A summary of this alternatives analysis and relative costs per ton of wastes is provided in Table 6-1. |

7 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN (EMP) FOR PHASE 1

institutional The environmental management plan (EMP) consists of the set of mitigation, monitoring, and and operation to eliminate or minimize adverse measures to be applied during implementation environmental impacts. In accordance with the Bank's OP 4.01, the EMP serves to: (a) (b) (c) Identify the set responses to potentially adverse impacts; Determine requirements for ensuring that responses are made effectively and timely, and Describe the means for meeting those requirements.

are identified and Based on the predicted Phase 1 environmental Impacts, appropriate mitigation measures of impacts, including detpiled design, construction described for each of the key project stages and types and operations as follows. 7.2 Mitigation Measures During Detailed Design specific for Proposed impact mitigation measures include general design considerations, supported by design measures to mitigate environmental impacts of: Drainage and sewerage systems in all three cities, Sludge dredging and excavations in Quy Nhon and Dong Hoi, New Luong Hoa sanitary landfill and closure of existing Ru-Ri dumpsite in Nha Trang, Solid waste transfer stations and public toilets in Quy Nhon, and Resettlement sites in Nha Trang and Quy Nhon.

The more specific mitigation measures can be draft describe as follows: the Drainage and Sewers: In the design of drainage and sewerage, attention has to be paid to preventing Water supply. Special attention has to be paid to the possible possibility of contaminating the domestic crossing of water pipes and sewers. For this purpose, it will not be allowed to have water pipes going have to be through the same drainage manholes or box culverts. Discharging points of the drainage system pipes is prevented selected so that the adverse impact is minimized and the back flow of drainage water to or minimized. area Resettlement Site Development: The resettlement site needs to be planned as a complete residential standards and the Nha Trang Master Plan. The with sufficiently functions according to Vietnam planning Site design of the resettlement site will apply current design standards and regulations for new urban areas. between new settlement areas and proposed WWTP site to planning will include a reserved buffer zone minimize any future 7.3 Mitigation Measures During Construction constructioui Proposed mitigation measures include general considerations and required measures during during excavation, landfill development.

Standards for Making Households Connections: Based on the Final Report (January 2006) for the World Bank's Household Connections Mission, there is a recognized need to prepare project-specific standards for making household connections to the improved wastewater collection systems. Such standards are needed to ensure that when the household connections are allowed to be made, these connections will be made in a uniform manner that minimizes impact during installation and allows for proper maintenance. These connection standards will be prepared during the Project's detailed design stage by the National Consultant, working in close cooperation with the URENCO and WSSC (who will be in charge of maintaining the sewerage network) and with the Ministry of Construction and the Bank who will need to approve the standards. It is expected that these connection standards shall provide a clear definition of: * * |* , Agreed procedures for making connections Possible connection points to the tertiary network (manholes, chamber or straight to pipe); Materials to be used, minimum and recommended pipe diameters and slopes; Number, placement and detailed design of any required special appurtenances. Retaining or deleting the septic tanks after the house connections are made. If the septic tanks are retained the condition for retention should be stated. If the septic tanks should be abandoned the method of abandoning should be stated.

Specific Mitigation Measures durinq Dredging Activities: The current estimate of the total volume of dredged material is 226,800 mi. Based on the results of sediment testing conducted as part of the EA in February 2006, this dredged sediment is expected to consist primarily of organic materials which could be re-used locally without further treatment for agricultural and landscaping purposes. The amount of dredged material will be clarified during the detailed design and more detailed instructions will be included in the Contract Documents. Specially, the contractors will be required to use special vehicles (tankers) for sludge transport to any off-site disposal area(s) to minimize leakage of sludge materials. Any dredge sediments which are later found to be contaminated or not suitable for agricultural or landscaping use will be disposed of in the landfill site. Prior to disposal, the sediment can be dried out for use as covering layer at the dump site. Such disposal will need to be agreed with PMU, DONRE and URENCOs. To avoid public disturbance during dredging works, it is extremely important to inform the local people and traditional users of the water body in advance about the dredging schedule and work plan, including information on any proposed sludge dewatering and/or on-site storage activities. Mitigation Measures During Operation 7.4 Proposed mitigation measures include consideration of drainage and sewerage systems, landfill site and solid waste transfer stations: and environmental sanitation requirements of the resettlement site. Untreated household connection discharges from combined sewer svstems: As described in Sub-Project EAs, the most effective impact mitigation measure is to postpone the household connections until the WWTPs are operational or advance the schedule for constructing WWTP to provide treatment earlier in the project period so that these project components are more closely linked. However, if it is agreed and locally approved to allow some household connections to the combined sewer system prior to completion of the

WWTPs, limited mitigation measures for "end of the pipe" treatments to reduce impacts and potential health risks are recommended. Although the characteristics and flow at the various outlets are dissimilar we are proposing the same mitigation at each outlet for the following reasons: * The current characteristics were determined from limited sampling over a short period that did not include all the seasons. It is possible, indeed likely that these characteristics will change. Therefore we believe it is prudent to be conservative and design for the worst case. An indication of the worst case can be established by reviewing the result of all the outlets. If there are changes in the characteristics for even a short period a conservative design will mitigate the impact. The equipment for the different outlets will be standardized, parts will be interchangeable and unit cost will be reduced. To propose individual mitigation for what is essentially the same impact or could be the same would be tantamount to micro-managing without considering the possibility or likelihood of changes.

The end of pipe treatment to be employed at the outlets includes: Chlorination treatment of the untreated effluents within the pipelines to reduce pathogens and health risks. * Placement of coarse screens on the outlets to help remove visible / floating solids. * Increased water quality monitoring of discharge areas, public awareness programs and signage to alert the public and tourists of any potential health risks in the effluent dispersion areas. Dredging and maintenance of open channels to which many outlets discharge, converting these channels into covered box culverts and extending outlets offshore as underwater outfalls. Septic Tanks: The majority of the septic tanks are either poorly designed, leaking, in need of major repairs or not functioning properly. If any is retained in service the long term integrity should be convincingly established by appropriate tests. This will be difficult, expensive and inconvenient. (Septic tanks are usually tested before placing in service). They will serve no useful purpose after the house connections are installed. They should be abandoned completely at the same time the house connections are made. The procedure to be followed to abandon these tanks are: a) Empty the tank completely b) Pressure wash the inside of the tank c) Disinfect the inside using a strong disinfectant d) Punch holes in the bottom to permit future use or accumulation of water. e) Backfill the tank, and soak away pit with compacted sand, gravel, and/or limestone f) If necessary install house connection pipe through backfilled tank g) Test house connection for water-tightness h) Restore ground or floor to match surrounding areas.

8 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING AND REPORTING

Building on the experienced gained on similar projects, environmental monitoring will be conducted during construction and operations at the following four (4) levels: Monitoring of project performance indicators; Monitoring of implementation of mitigation measures done by the Contractor; Community based monitoring; and Overall regulatory monitoring of the project.

U U
I

A set of monitoring indicators is proposed to assess the implementation at various project stages. These performance monitoring indicators will be agreed in the final EA report, EMP and Project Implementation Plan (PIP) as well as the findings and recommendatibns of the Independent Safeguards Monitoring (ISM) Consultant to be appointed under the project. Combined with other qualitative and quantitative parameters of project performance, these indicators will be used as a tool for impact / benefit evaluation and analysis at various project stages and will be presented in reports of the PMU and ISM Consultant. The PMU will be responsible for preparing to the Bank bi-annual performance monitoring reports, which will detail project progress with respect to agreed targets. These targets and reporting requirements will include the following environmental project performance indicators:

Contractor compliance to impact mitigation measures and procedures (SOPs) Health indicators Flooding situation Wastewater and sanitation environment Community stakeholder participation

Community Based Monitoring: Based on the experience gained in implementing the World Bank-funded Ho Chi Minh Environmental Sanitation Project, the ISM Consultant will play a lead role in organizing local community stakeholders to be actively involved in sub-project planning, implementation and monitoring activities, particularly at the tertiary and household connection levels where they are most affected. Within each of these areas (wards), the local stakeholders, residents and businesses will be provided an orientation and invited to actively participate in the monitoring of key environmental parameters; suchI as water supply quality, drainage, dust, noise, air pollution and public safety. The communities would also be trained to notice the indicators and risks of environmental pollution during project construction and operation. Overall Regulatory Monitoring: During operation OF the related components, the URENCO (to whom the completed facilities have been turned over to) will be responsible for sustaining the established air, water and sediment quality monitoring and reporting program to the DONRE and the Bank. Project Organization for Environmental Management System 8.2 The Draft Final EA recommends an organizational and systematic approach towards environniental management involving the following key project stakeholders and responsibilities: * Proiect Management Unit (PMU): The PMU has the overall responsibility to implement and monitor the Assisted by the ISM and CMC consultants, the PMU will monitor and report on the EMP. implementation of mitigation measures during the constrictor's construction works. The PMU will closely integrate project implementation and monitoring with local People's Committee (PC) to promote the participation of the community during the project planning, implementation and operation stages. The PMU is also responsible for reporting EMP implementation to the Bank and DONRE based on their field observations, meeting results and monthly progress reports provided by the contractors, CMC I ISM consultants and community based monitors. The proposed PMU staffing organization will include at least one environmental mitigation and monitoring specialist. Community ReDresentatives: At the sub-project's tertiary and household connection levels, community representatives will be encouraged to participate in monitoring the environmental sanitation conditions in their community through their representatives to the PMU and local executive offices (PCs of wards, communes and district). Direct community involvement will take part prior to and during construction to support implementation monitoring of required impact mitigation measures and other assisting to address related community issues. These community-based monitoring measures will be supported by the project's ISM Consultant. Construction Management Consultant (CMC): The main tasks of CMC are monitoring basic construction practices and procedures, including Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for mitigating These tasks will be stipulated in detail in the environmental impacts as described in the draft EA. Reference (TOR) for the CMC and contract with the PMU, both of which are subject to Bank Terms of reviews for issuance of a No Objection Letter (NOL). Independent Safeguards Monitoring (ISM) Consultant: The ISM will be responsible for monitoring EMP implementation activities and ensuring that agreed environmental and social safeguard policies of the GoV and the Bank are applied and monitored.

The respective responsibilities of the national and international ECs are summarized in the following Table. the Based on the proposed Phase 2 sub-project activities, the following key safeguard policies of the World Bank may apply and will need to be addressed through the EA to be prepared for each of three (3) Phase 2 sub-project cities: * . * Environmental Assessment (OP / BP 4.01) (Natural Habitats (OP / BP 4.04) Physical Cultural Property (OP 4.11 - OPN 11.03)

preFull compliance with any environmental safeguard triggered by Phase 2 sub-project activities is a requisite to the Bank's review and approval of such sub-project activities. 4. Environmental Screening

The ECs will be responsible for confirming the environmental information and initial analysis provided as part of the Phase 1 Feasibility Studies (FS) and Environmental Assessments prepared for each and sub-project city. Based on a review of each FS and EA, and related CCESP loan agreements Bank Aide Memoire, the ECs will be responsible for compiling all baseline environmental data needed to support the environmental screening of the Phase 2 of each sub-project city and approved component as summarized in Table 2. Guidance on the collection of required environmental baseline data in accordance with these prevailing Vietnamese standards is provided in Annex 1. The purpose of this environmental screening is to identify as early as possible all potentially significant issues and/or impacts for each of the sub-project components so that such impacts can be avoided and/or addressed during the detailed preparation of Phase 2. The basis for this environmental screening will include the guidance provided by the national MONRE and provincial DONRE. Building on work completed during Phase 1, this Phase 2 environmental screening will focus on four (4) proposed component activities for which there is a significant potential for environmental impacts: | * . . Component 1: Drainage and wastewater collection Component 2: Wastewater treatment Component 3: Solid waste management Component 4: Resettlement
