Chapter 4 - ~escii~tionof baseline environment

4.1. Natural condition

Can Tho City lias an arcs of 1,390 k~n'. without natural Sorest and sca, land used mainly For agricultural I'arming. l'lie city is divided into 4 urban districis (Ninli I

I7 IIC telnpcraturc ill the project area has tlie general tcalure of Can Tho City. Tlie average te~nperature has little diffcrencc a~~nually.Tllc merage te~npcrature is from 26°C to 28.I0C monthly. Ihc teml~crat~~cis thc l~igllcstill April and the lowest in Ja~~ual-y. l'he hu~nidityof air ~lioisteris always liigli an~iually(~iiore 82%). Tlie liigliest is from May to October and tl~clowcst is ill February. As Can Tho City is located ill humid - tropical zone with a monsoon i~iiluenccand lias 2 disti~~guisliedseasons: tlie sunny scason and tlie rainy season. Iiowevcr, there is no big dil'lcrc~~ceabout Iiu~niditybetween the 2 seasons in a year.

Carl 1'110 Cily is ill tllc Iiigli lieat of sun light zone, especially at the end of the dry season. Comparing wit11 that ill 2005 and 2004. tlic number of sunny liours does not change ~nuch~nonthly. Tlie most was ill March 2006 (238 IIOLII.~), and the least was in July 2006 (1 35 liours). Tlie number ol'liglit liours was 2.243 hours ill 2006. wliic11 was lcss than in 2005.

Rairi rcgi~licin Cali 1'110 is intluenced by circulation of monsoon with a rainy season and a dry season. Rainy season and Hooding at the same time lasts 6 ~nonths.Recently. the rainfall lias not changed mucli. I'lic rainfall is low in tlie dry season, but considerably high in tlie rainy season from May to October wli~cliaccou~its Ihr 90% of the annual rainlhll. Ihe liiglicst rainfall is in Scptcniber and October.

Altl~ougliCall 'Slio City is not affected seriously by windstorm, in rainy scason, heavy rains appear and last Ihr a long ti~i~ccausing tloods and traftic jam ill tlie urban area. Annually there are 3 main wind clireclio~is:(i) 7 Ile lirst: Soutli- west; (i) The seco~id:North - east: (iii) Tlie third: South - east. 'I'lie annual average velocity ol'wi~idis I .6 m/s. Tliere are 63 days with heavy wind from May to October and tlie l~iglicstcelocily of licavy wind is 3 1 ~ii/s..

/(il'c11' .s)?\le111fc~t~ll~l'c~.\ 111 (7ti~~ T/IO ('ill' Can 'I'lio City Iias a dense system of rivers and canals with tlie total le~igtliof about 560km. Rivcr dcnsity is quite liigli, 1.8 hm/hm2. especially 2 lkm/kln2 in Hau riverain land ill Nilill I

- Canal syslcm: Can l'ho River, Cai Khe canal, Xeo I,a canal, etc are big canals, flowing from Cali '1-110 liivcr to the inland and being the drainage systcn? of the city. At present, some ca~ials such as .l'Iiani Tuong, Cai Klie. Bar1 and Cau Cllua arc pollutcd seriously.

Rivers and canals in Can I'llo City are affcctcd by different semi-diurnal tide because tlie city is far li.om tlie sea: the last tidal wave is gradually weak, that is, tlie time of the upward tidal wave (4.39 - 5.0811) is sliorte~.t11a11 tlic time of the downward tidal wave (6.36 8.3511). In tlie ebbing tide. tlie dil'fcrcncc between the Iiiglicst and lowest tidal wave is more than 170cm.

The average tlood intensity in Can Tlio is about Scmlday. Because of tlie dense canal system, the tloods drai~irather slowly. f!ie peak tlood appears in Can Tlio City 10+15 days longer than in Cliau Doc districl.

4.2. Socio-economic condition

Industrial production dcvelops stably. Modern mechanism investment, product innovation and product quality improvement help to raise incomes of this area. Besides, infrastructure development planning i~ivestmc~~tis stable and gradually specialized. In tl~cproject arca. tlic cconomic activities mainly concent~.ateson trade in services, transportation and small enterprises. Most 01' production and trading units in tlie pro-ject area do not have a waste trcat~iicntsystcrn. Waste water is mostly discharged into tlie general drainage system of tlie city. Solid waste is collected by Can Tlio urban stri~ctirrecompany.

Tlie agriculture dcvelop~nentin Ninli Kieu district tends to decrease because of urbanization. Tlie area of i;irri~i~igland is Icss and less and gradually changes into land-tenured. In all sectors. tlie breeding scctor has Ilic greatc\t valuc of production. Domcstic aninial raisi~~gsituation in Ninli Kieu tends to decrease because the area of raising is less aiid less and partly affected by the bird t1i1. Tlie area of aqi~aticproduct raising is larger and larger, tlie mari~icpr.oduct ilidustry developnient causes pollution to tlie water environment because of waste from tlicsc activities.

Recently. grecli atid modc~ntourist gardens have already been invested along highways and waterways att~acti~iga lot of domestic and foreign toi~rists.Famous ecological tourist areas in Cali 7'110 City includc My Klialill tourist garden. Pliu Sa toi~ristarea, Binli l'liuy orchid garden. According to tlie statistic figurcs of touris~iiill 2006. tlie number of liotels increascs to 302 with about 71 6,245 tourists.

According to (lie survey result of tlie Statistic Office in Ninli Kieu district (2006), tlie district popi~lationwas 2 13.095 peoplc, of which 48.56% is male and 5 1.44% is female. Tlie district is divided into 12 wards with tlie,density of 7.259 persons/km2.

Tlie 11i1111ber01' pcoplc suffering from diseases related to tlie environment si~clias dysentery, diarrliea, ~xtccliialSevcr is ratlie! Iiigli. Tile main reasons are i~nliygie~iicliving habit and pollution. Specially, tlic pcoplc living in tlie residential areas along tlie current open canals often release solid wastes and waste water directly into rivers. Besides, tly and mosquito as well as disease-transmitted insects such as riiousc dcvclop fast and strongly. It is tlie fi~ndamcntalsource creating epide~iiicand harmful discascs to public Iicaltli.

4.3. Status of Infrastrr~cturesystem

- Agricultural land: there are about 12 PAHs \~lioscland will be acquired by the pro-icct proposed 'co~lstructions. As tlie project is li~ndedby the World Bank, associatcd with tlie rcquircments ol' environmental safeguard policy, tliere is also a distinguished contcnt concer~iingwitli "tlie preparation of rcsettle~nent plan" Ihr I'Al Is. This ,plan is prepared by social specialists.

Air quality will be evaluated b) parameters such as dust and exhausted gas including COz, NO2, SOz and tIC. Dust: I>ust could be generated from these following sources:

- Dust produced during land clearance. partial or complete dcstruction of str~~cturesand works located within the corridor of invcst~nent lines. The demolished volume is estimated to be 18,540 111' (approxiniately DO ~n'lliouseliold).Generated dust is about 1-1 0Og of dust pa~ticlesll~ii'cxcavated soil wliicli arc ~iiucliless I-atlier than construction waste. It mealis that the total generated dust in tlie air will bc about 18.0OOg mai~llystemming from 3 invested canal systeni (group 2, 3,4).

- Dust produced froill transportatioli of construction materials (especially sand and stone) and construction wastclsludge and excavated soil in and out of construction sites. llie total excavated sediliic~it is e\ti~natcd to be ahout 120001i1' and tliat of tlie same volume of materials will be transported 10 construction sites. On average. tliere will be 3 to 6 vcliicles coming in and out of each co~~stluction4te. In r~j'sli-lioi~rof co~istructio~ischedule, tllc nuniber of vehicles mobilized is 2 or 3 times higher tlia~i~iormal hours. It shows tliat tlie dust generated from tliis source will bc not high in casc of tl~atall operation vellicles need to bc covered carcfi~lly during transpo~tationroads.

- Dust could be generated by several other sources such as fugitive dust due to movement of transportatio~lvel~icle. dust dispersed by wind, dust from activation of heavy construction vehicles and cquip~nent..ctc.. Howcver, tlie generated dust f'rom this source is negligible and considered as cnviro~l~iicntalrisk. Gas exhausted: I.ollowing are t11e activitics (as thc time) generating bad odour during prqject implementation: Odour generated l'ro~iiactivitics of vellicle transporting constn~ctionmaterials from production placcs to construction site; Odour generated froni activities of cscavators, graders, ea~tlimovers,tampers with tlie load of 6-8 tons and 10- 12 tons. etc..: activities of ma~lualcquip~iicnt a~ldlorof workers such as worker's coolting and waste burning can also cause air pollutioli. Tlic prqject al'fcctcd people arc mainly construction workers and people living within the distance of I0 - 20111 away li-olii construction sites. The current air quality in the project routes is quite good, exccpt lhr bad sliiell lio~ntlie existi~igcanals. Tlie riumber of vehicles and equipment moblizied in each constructic,~~site varies li.oln 3 to 5 lieavy vehicles (> 57' in wcight). Similar to dust issues, tlie gas esliaustcd l'rom cc;nstruclion vehiclcs and equipment is still milch lower than the standard. lliis impact could he cvaluatcd as ininor n~idmitigable. Noise and vibratioli: Noise and vibratio~lwill be generated mainly by big construction equipment (excavator\. bulldo~cl-s:concrete mixers etc.), tixcd equip~nentas point sources and the transportation vcliiclc tlcclc transporting materials outlin the site as area sources within a narrow area. It is also caused by demolishing unde~.groundworks. As calculated, there are about 3 - 6 veliicles operating in each co~istri~ctionsitc. This number of veliicles will not generate mi~clinoise.

Fl'lie waste collection and treatment in workcr'scalnps often does not reacli tlie hygiene standard. Most of workers often discharge directly waste water into surrounding areas, leading to pollutiori and bad-looking scenery, especially in canips located close to areas liavi~iga high dcnsity of population. Besides, tl~epoor awareness of environ~iienlalprolcction and habit of duliiping solid wastc into canals call create additiolial volume of wastc discharging to co~lstructionsites during construction stage. In tliis case. tlie con:r:iclor will not collect it. As a result, tlic construction site will become a landlill atid is seriously polluted. l'liis issue can be solved by a close cooperation between contractor and local authorities.

Reqilirements on labor safety have been stipulated strictly by Law OF People's I-lealtli alid Labor Sal'ety. Workers need to be equipped with adequate labor protection measures and first-aid kits during constructio~iexecution.

Therefore, tlie dredged activities will not create any source for increasing licavy 1iicta1content in surface water. According to experic~icegained from constri~ction ~iietliodology011~11 applied for s~i~allcanal improvement projects. the cxcavatcd canal will bc dividcd illto various scctio~is.Prior to excavation, tlie temporary dam will be established to isolate tlic excavated canal sections, then waste water will bc pir~npcdinto downstream areas. l'he scdime~itlsli~dgedrcdged is mainly in dry situation. Tlius, tlie potcntial of dissolving scdi~iicnt co~iipone~its(especially Zinc) illto water is minor. Moreover, Zinc is not mobile and toxic elelllent. - (ii) Redundancy (if pcsticidcs: Similar to heavy metal contcnt, tlie abscncc of redundancy of pesticide can not crcatc any effect to water quality during drcdging proccss. (iii) Tlic olga~iicco~iipou~id sucli as C. N, P: During dredging process, these compounds could bc part ly dissolved illto water, leading to tlie incl-casc in pollutant conipounds. I lowevcr, tlie proposed canals are ~iowliolluted seriously by organic compou~ids.

Impacts of Iiandli~ig trarispo~-tin~of tlie dredged scdimcnt:

- Dredged sludgc is !icluid and easily leaked during liandli~ig,leacliate and leakage sludge witli high solid and lieavy ~iielalcontent which would rcturri and rc-pollute water. To reduce i~npactsto watcr quality. sludge shall bc rcmoved by bucket and handle directly to truck. 1'0 avoid risk of spillage during lia~idling,tlicre are two mctliod5 that could bc applied;

111 order to mi~iimi~cimpacts from domestic waste during the construction stage, tlie following implcnlentations are suggcsted: Canteens should not be allowed ill tlie construction areas. 'l'lius, tlie domcstic solid waste and waste water will be decreased; Do~nesticsolid waste in the pl.o.ject areas sllould be collected 111151 stored in appropriate trash bins.

Gcneric Mitigation Iiieasilre for excavated sediment Tlic total excavated sediment is about 12,000 d and is distributed largcly in three distinguished co~itractualpackagcs (iii four construction sitcs). The sediment does not contain toxic substances such as heavy ~iictaland redundant pesticide. It has tlie high content of organic substance and can be used for tilling or IB1.11iing.l4owever. during tlie transporting and discliarging process some requirements are needcd as follows: Tlic sediment disposal site is far from surface water sources and I-esidential areas (at least 100m): lJse constn~ctionwaste as wcll as i~npollutcdmaterial lor devcloping basement of tlie disposal sites; At excavated canals, if not having enough space, barges can be ilsed on tlie canal to temporarily dry sludge. Tlic method was applied for sludge excavation of Xang Tlioi Lalte in I'llase 1; Avoid tlic spill of sediment to 1.11~surrounding water c~ivirc)n~lie~it,especially no transportation of \vet sludgc: The direct transpcjlting soutcs by river can be considered. Howevcr, the ~nctl-~odhas solne disadvantages since possible lcakagc ol' sludgc on transportation from construction site to disposal places can occur; Fequcntly clean spills of sludge and soil 011 I.outes. According to various similar ~?ro.jccts'esperic~icc. tlic contractor should have a contract with a local IJrban Construction Company. Morcovcr. contractors can liirc local cleaning teams or cven residents to do tlie assignment daily in tlie areas near tlie residc~itialarea. It will both increase tlie elfcct in tlie daily sanitation and ~.cduce com~ii~~~iity's pressure. - 'I'lic requirements for disposal site, routes and respective cost will be included in the contracts. Contractors will commcnce {lie work only when having adequate rclevant pcr~iiissioiis.

1.1. Background of the Project

Government of ~ictnaiiiacknowledgcs Tlie World Bank's assistance in the preparation of an Urban Upgrading I'roject for poor people as an initial investment in tlie National Progmm. Cities Alliance Orgnni~ationalso assists Government of Vietnam by preparing a series of rescarclics "Strcngtlicn approach ability to inli.:~stri~cti~rcand housing for tlie urban sensitive poor comn~it~~itiesin Victnam" in order to develol? tlie National Urban Upgrading Program (NUUP). Ministry of Planning and Invest~nentrequest for The World Bank's assistallce to Victnam Urban Upgrading Projcct (VUUP) tliat aims to i~pgraclclow-income co~i~n~u~~itiesin solile cities, including Ho Chi Minli City. Iiai I'l~ong, Nam [)in11 and Can Tlio. To lriect thc Gove~.nnient'ssucli de~nand~,tlie World Bank lias committctl to linance tlie i~nple~ncntatior,of Victnaiii Urban Upgrading Progta~nin 4 typical cities. namely Nan1 Dinli. Flai I'liong, Iio Chi Minli City and Can Tlio. Tlie pro.ject is named "Vietnam urban upgratling prc?jcct-VUUI'" and divided into 4 sub-projects implemented in sucli cities. The sub-pro-jccts' main ob-jectives are to contribute tlie povet-ty-alleviation in tlie urban low-inco~iietesidential areas by improving tl~cliving and environmental conditions and step by step apply tlie participatory planning approach in urba~iiipgradatiot~ aiming to meet thc urban poor's tlclnands and living conditions.

Tlie niobilization of internal resources for basic construction invcstment in the City scelns to bc extremely clifticult. I lence, tlic provincial and city autlioritics arc exccssivcly intercstccl ill tlie attraction and use of ODA fillids lor tlie City's infiastructurc syste~nfrom bilateral and multilateral international donors. 'She World Bank. with tlic target of "tlie world without poverty". is always interested in Iinancil~gIlic povcrty-allcviatio~lprqjects all over tlie world, including those in Viet~ianisucli as Rural Povcrty- Alleviation Program.

Tlie ~iiatrixmethod is relatively simplc and widely uscd. It does not require so much data on tlie environment. ecology and allows user to analyze explicitly tlie impact of diferent activities on eilch factor. However. tliis meiliod also has main weahncsses. For example. it is not considered ~nutualeffcct among these impacts: Is not rcgarded thc variation following time: can not clarify long-term and short- tcr~iibehavior: l'liu iliiportance of enviro~inientalfactors is evaluated quite subjectively.

Tlie total nuriiber of PAtls is 933 in which 618 liouseliolds are permanently affected and 3 15 liouscliolds arc te~npo~!rily:it'fectcd. On average. each household has 5.2 people. Based on tlie statistical data provided by tlie local autliority and field survey report, at least 250 liouscliolds of llic total 6 I8 permanently affected households use their lio~nesas busi~iessplaces creating ~najorinco~iies for their families. These Iio~~selioldsarc mainly located along Cai Klie canal (surrounding An Ngliiep ~iiarket) and at tlic beginning of lalie #300. Tlie compensation and resettlement in tlicsc aieas rcquire higher costs and cffo~lsIhr conducting liouseliolds'income recovery ~~rograrii~ne.Per~iianc~itly affected liouseliolds ill otlier areas are mainly situatcd in s~nnllalleys (such as Ban, Tliam Tuong.

L~rrltl~I~LII~LIIICC: For a ncw co~istruction, land clearance is a very complicated issue that causcs disorder in tlie affected pcople's rnind. According lo the field survey. there are 978 prqjcct ai'fected households (PAHs), includi~ig:

- Land tenure and liousc: tliere are 878 PAI-Is, including 276 temporarily PAHs and 61 l pcrnia~ienllyPAI-Is. The pe~.ma~ientlyPAI-is are ~nainlylocated along tlie project canals.

Based on tlie survey rcsults conducted by the social team of Thang Long JSC., 91 % (556 Iiouseliolds) of tlie total resettled Iiouscholds had tlie demand of participating in tlie resettlement plan of the projcct and 9% (55 liouscl~nlds)proposcd to find new residential places by tliemselvcs. As the pro-ject is li~lldcdby tlie World Bank. associatcd witli tlic requirements of environmental safeguard policy. there is also a distinguished content concerning with "the preparation ol'rescttlement plan" for PAl-is. l'his plan is prepared by social specialists. PAHs werc surveyed on their socio- economic status (incomc, cml~loyment.etc) as well as were consulted about their tinancial capacity and dcmands.

In spite of the ~.elntivclyhigh number of PAtls of phase 2, this impact can bc lnitigatcd through active prcpnratio~~stcps of PMU and rclevant stakeholders.

6.2.2. Cot~structionstage

6.2.2. I. Air pollirtiorr Air qilality will be evaluated by parameters sucli as dust and exhausted gas including C02, N02, SO2 and IiC.

Dust could be generated tiom tlicse following sourccs:

- Dust produced during land clearance. pal-tial or complete destruction of structi~resand worlts located witl~i~ithe corridor of investment lines. 'l'lie demolished volu~neis esti~natcd to bc 18,540 m' (approximately 30 m7/liouseliold). Generated dust is about 1 - 100g of dust particles/ I m' excavated soil wliicl~arc much less rather tlian construction waste. It means that tlie total gcncratcd dust in tlic air will be about 18.000g mainly stemming i'rom 3 invcsted canal system (group 2, 3. 4). As cxpcricnce learnt from othcr pr(?iqcts. tlic total time for land acquisition and site clearance is estimated to taltc at least 6 months. Hy si~~~plccalculation, the gencrated dust per day will be 100 g and widely dispcrscd to large area of prqjcct. It could be concludcd Iliat tlic clcvation of dust stc~nmcdfrom sitc clearance prncetlure is minor. 111 worsc case that the dust levcl is higher than standard. it will only take 2 or 3 days.

- Dust produced fi-o~l~transportation of construction materials (especially sand and stone) and constri~ctionwastc/\ludgc and excavated soil in and out of' construction sites. Tlic total excavated sedimcnt is estiniated to be about 12000m' and that of' the same volume of matcrials will bc transported to co~~slructionsitcs. On average. tllcrc will bc 3 to 6 vehicles coming in and out of each constructio~isite (i.cfcr to table 6.7 below).

- Dust could be generatcd by several other sol.lrces such as i'i~gitivedust due to movement of' transportation vehicle. dust dispersed by wind. dust from activation of heavy construction vchicles and equip~iiclit..etc.. I lowcvcr. tlie generated dust i'rolu tliis source is liegligible and considered as environmental l-isl,. Dust will have direct effects on workers at tlic site, making it inconvenience to daily activitics of neighboring liouseliold~.As tlie project construction is mainly executed in separated areas protected by f'enccs. elevation of' dust will possibly occur on prqject routcs w1ie1.c tlie existing ones will be improbed such as Cacli Mal~gTliang 8.

Gas exliai~sted; Gas esliausted from project implementation includes parameters such as CO:, NO?, SO1 and tlC. These kinds of gascs ~nainlyemitted fi-o~ntlie engine of machines and traffic veliicles inside andlor surrouliding construction site. Following is tlie activities (as the time) generating bad odour and dust during project implement,A t'1011: - Dust and odoul. generated fian activities of vehiclc transporting co~lstrt~ctionma~erials f'rom production placcs to construction site. - Odour generated fron~activities ofexcavators, graders. earthmovers, talnpers with the load oi' 6-8 ton\ and 10- 12 tons. elc.. - Besidcs. activities of manual equipment alidlor of workers such as worker's cooking and waste burning can also CSLISC' air polltltion. The projecl affected pcople are mainly constructio~lworkers and pcople living within tlie distance of 10 - 20111 away fron~cbnstruction sites. However, the current air quality in tlie project routes is quite good. exccpl k>r had smell on tlic existing canals. Thc number of vehicles and cquiplnent mobilized in each construction site is not high, varying from 3 - 5 licavy vehicles (35T in weight). Similar to dust issues, tlic gas ealiausted fi.om construction veliicles and cquipmcnt is still milch lower than tlie standard. This impact cotlld be evaluated as ininor and mitigable.

Noise and vibration Noise and vibration will bc generated mainly by big const~.uctionequip~iicnt (excavators, bulldozers, concrete misers etc.), fixed eqi~iprne~ltas point sources and the tra~lsportatioli vehicle tlcets transporting niatcrials out/in tlie site as area sources within a narrow area. It is also caused by dcniolishing undcrg~wu~idworks. As calculatetl in table 6.7, there are about 3 - 6 vehicles operating in each construction site. This number of vehicles will not generate mi~clinoise. In fact, noixe is mainly gcllcratcd by operating bulldozers. concrete misers and transportation means with noise level of' 0 1.5 - 73 dBA within 1 Om radius around const~.uctionsites. The esist~ng~ioise levcl 1s much lower than tlic standard. Noise generated by tri~ckis estimated to be 68 dBA within 101n radius and 62 d13A wi$l~in20m radius. TIILIS noise levcl at tlie pro-ject affected areas is still belou thc standard. -This impact is minor and mitigatable.

[)itring construction, tlic sewage generating source is mainly from concrete maintaining, construction equipment cooling. and workers' sewage at work

Thus, comparing with tlie environmental mo~iitoringI-esults in canals (chapter 2), tlie prospeclive sewage volume during construction will have pollution level similar to tliat of tlie curent canals. Applied calculation model (specifically nientioned in item 6.2.3.1). tlie change of polluta~itscontent after outlct (within tlic boundary of 20m) is below 3% during co~istluctionphase.

There are only a few walking road sections located right on tlie canal bank with tlie width of I111 tliat could be temporarily interrupted. 'l'lius. tliis ivnpact is negligible. Moreover. experience drawn fro111 other canal upgrading project5 in Victnam showed that Ilie canal after being tilled up witli ~naterialswill be used for daily traveling. 'This issue will possibly create dangers to local people. in case of tliat tlic construction site is not ~iia~iagedrestrictedly by contractor.

- Change ol'watcr quality of canals during sludgc dredging process In order to cvaluate tlic content relation between water qi~dityand dredged activities, tlie analytical data prcscntcd in section\ 5.2.1 and 5.2.4 will be considered.

- (ii) Redundancy of pesticides: Similar to licavy ~nctalconte~it. the abscncc of redundancy of pesticide can not create any effect to water quality duri~igdrcdging process.

(iii) 'T'lle organic compound such as C. 1V. P: During drcdgi~lgproccss, tliesc compounds could be partly dissolvcd into water. lending to tlie increase in pollutant compounds. However, as co~~cluded ill cliaptcr 4, tlic pl.oposcd canals are now polluted seriously by organic compounds. l'he partial release of organic'compo~~ndsfro111 sedinicnt to water will not ~nalcca visible change oi' wiltel. quality. Morcovcr. tliat is tlic dredgccl activities wl~iel~will improve tlie canal water tlow. As a result. morc watcl. l'rom surroundi~lgwater bodies (especially from large canals and rivers) will gather into tlic canal and contribute to i~nprovingtlic water quality under tlic control of tidc and rain. Experie~~ccgd'ined l'rom phase I - Dredging sedi~ncntin Xang T'lioi Lake and Canal could be co~isideredas specilic cvidencc for this model (refcr to Monitoring Report No 1 and 2 preparccl by Independent Monitoring Consultant of phase I). According to experience gained fro111construction methodology ot'tcli applicd lor small canal iniprovcnlent pro.jects, tlic excavated canal will be divided into various sections. Prior to excavation, tlie telnporary dani will bc establislicd to isolale tlie excavated canal sections, then wastc water will be pumpcd into downstrean1 arcas. Tlic sedimcnt/sludge dreclged is mainly in dry situation. T~LIS,the potential of dissolving sedinicnt components (cspccially Zinc) into water is niinor.

If tlic upgradation ofthc secondary inti-aslructure in tlie pro-ject areas is not be inlple~nented.there will appear main consequences as below: - Deterioration 01' the structures will continues and eve11 speeds up causing serious problems to drainage, sewerage, flooding and Ii>,gienic conditions. Living condition of the people is already unbearable and tlie situation will bcco~iieworsc if no improvement lial~pcns.

- L,ack of pi-opcr drainage decreases the health situation continuously, but especially during flooding when waste \cater surging from tlie existing canals will deliver many sources of pollution tlircatcning to living conditions of the surrounding residential areas. Morcover. tlic population in tlie pro-jcct areas is increasing rapidly. It means that tlie existing canals cvliicli ;rrc"now overloaded with discharging capacity and quality will continue to receive biggcr and biggcr amount of domestic waste water.

- It would be vcry dir'ficult to reach tlie targets ~nentionedin the City Master Plan and improce tlic living conditions of all citizens ofCan 'Tho city.

8.1. Principle

In ordcr to mitigate tlid environmental impacts, sources of pollution need to be under tlie conlrol atid [lie potential prescnce of environ~ncntalrisk needs to be niini~iiizcd.lliese ob-jectivcs will be fi~lt?l led based on three following measures: Prevention of cnvironmcn~alpollution a~~drisk;

Based on the c~iviro~i~iienl:i!rmpacts evaluated in Cliapler 6. tlie mitigation measures will be proposed prol)e~-lyill this cliapter.

8.2. Mitigation measures for negative impacts

8.2.1. Pre constr~~ctionstage

There arc about 618 households who have to be relocated. Resettlement Plan will be implemented witli the participation of relevant stakeholders. Thesc relocated positions will be arranged to miligate tlic impacts on [lie air c~~vironmcntand landscape ill the area. Reselllcmenl plan will dcvelop various optio~isof co~npcnsationand loss assistance for PAtls. Resettlement is applied lor PAHs whose land and/or residential place is pemianently acq~~isitedbut land ownership can be vcritied clcarly. Construction of tlie ~.eseltlcmentarea is to bc completed before site clearance. Adoplion of Mitigalion measures will be as follows: Communication and propaganda

- Conduct communication programme on compensation policy of tlie Government as well a:i obligation and responsibility of each individual. - Coliduct consultation witli PAHs about tlie compensation and resettlement pla~i. - Provide alter~iativcsolutions to PAHs in terms of the resettlement and the incorne recovery: Compensalio~ipolicy

Preparation of the rcsctl lenient area

Tlie constri~ctionscale of resettlement area of Can Tlio Urban Upgrading Project (CUUP) is relatively large and can fi~llysatisfy tlic resettlement demands of relocated liouseliolds. Pursi~antto tlie Decision on land acquisition for implementation of Component #2 of CUUP, tlie scale of acquisitioned land to develop tlie rcscttlcmciit arca is 10.7 ha. Tliis resettlement area is situatcd in Tlioi Nliilt hamlet, An Binli comlnune (recalled as An Klianli ward) Can Tlio City. I

Income Recovery Progralli

Lorrll fol- rllll~l.oi,ilr,y /~o~rtc,loall progralnnie will be etecutcd by tlie model of rcvolving fund (follo\s ing ~licrcal demand of liouscliolds deterniincd during investigations).

8.2.3. Mitigation measure during operation

Inspite of variour positive impacts gained from the project, there are still some negative impacts during operation phase such as air pollution. sludge disposal generated from process of sludge excavation. As cvaluatcd, most of those impacts arc minor. short-term and mitigablc. The followings are several signi ticant mitigation measures: - Organi~esanitation tcams \\ho are responsible for strect cleaning, sludge excavation in order to avoid rubbish andlor solid waste blocltcd in drainage system, and ensuring tlie spced of watcr tlow;

- ~esidcnts'ercrequired to implement partial trcatment with septic tank prior to discharging wastc\\atcr into the drainage system;

- Regularly dredgc sewers and drains to avoid stagnancy and overtlow of surface watcr:

- Strictly cc'htrol the quality of waste watcr discliargcd fiom production facilities located sul-rounding upgradcd drainagc cana Is;

- Prcvcnt solid waste disposal from entering upgraded canals through facilitating improved solid waste managemcnt;

- Public a\\al.cncss campaigns should be implemented in com~nunityto raise environmental awareness ant1 local inhabitants shall be trained to keep environmental clean; and to avoid negat ivc impacts on enviroit~nent;

Thc monitoring data will be considercd as liey input for desig~lingsuitable Water Treatment Plan meeting demands.

- Tlicsc mitigation mcasures will be implemented by thc Urbiun Drainage Company and tlic Ilepal-t~~lcntof Environmental managemcnt of districtlwards undcr the management and monitoring of DONRE. The local com~nunitiesand Autlioritics will be mobilizetl to participat& in thesc activities.

8.3. Mitigation for Envir-onmental risks
