The terrain is divided into two major areas is northern and southern Tien River. Dong Thap is in the tropical climate zone, consistently in the whole province. There are two main seasons; rainy season from May to November, and dry season from December to April of the following year. Average annual rainfall ranges from 1400 - 1700 mm, rainfall in rainy season accounts for 90-95% of annual rainfall. Average annual humidity is 82.5 %, number of sunny hours is 6.8 hours/day. Such above climate features are fairly advantageous for agricultural development. Can Tho City The terrain is relatively flat, suitable for agriculture, fisheries. The average altitude is about 1-2 meters with sloping tendency from the mounds along the Hau River and Can Tho river toward the interior field ie from northeast to southwest. Additionally, the city also has many hillocks and islets on the Hau river such as Con Au, Con Khuong, Con Son, Tan Lap. The terrain of Can Tho City is formed by topography along the Hau river including strips of high lands playing role as natural levees and islets along the Hau river. Due to its location lying next to a large river, Can Tho city has the dense river and canal networks. Long Xuyen Quadrangular region is low-lying so it is directly affected by flood annually. This delta is affected by tide and the end of flood season. 4.3 Hydrometeorological conditions Meteorology: The project of renovating and upgrading for Cao Lanh - Thot Not 220kV transmission line is lying in the Mekong Delta and crossing the Tien river and Hau River so it is greatly affected by the two rivers.

Significance Duration of Impact/issues Impact description of impact impact scanning mines and explosives in the project area is 76,893 m2. Therefore, the risk of accident due to residual mine is low. Impact on None None - There are no historical and cultural resources near and inside the Subproject area. historical and cultural properties B. THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE Surface water Medium Short-term - The surface water can be more turbid due to soil residues, particles generated from excavation contamination of towers’ foundations. These particles flow into rivers, canals, ponds. - The substation is not located near any river and canal. The transmission line crosses fish ponds, many canals. These are source of surface water that might be more turbid in rainy season due to washing out of subproject’s construction materials, excavated soil. - Though the transmission lines will cross many canals as listed above. Hence soil excavation and damming are carried out far from these shores, therefore potential risks on land slides from these shores are not high. At the sites near fishponds, the subproject foundations will construct far from ponds (above 30 m). From the foundation sites to fish ponds are trees, rice fields so potential for debris washed out from subproject excavation to these ponds is also low. - Topography of the subproject site is plain with good vegetation cover. - The subproject sites near surface water bodies are also plain so potential for soil erosion, material washing out is low. - Excavation is planned to do in dry season. Excesses soil will be reused to fill in the poles’ foundations and substation. Thus there will be no soil, rock left after the subproject construction. - No tower will be constructed in canals. - Thus the impact on surface water pollution in the subproject area is assessed as medium and can be mitigated.
Noise and Medium Short-term - Noise and vibration are caused by: transportation vehicles of equipment and materials, vibration construction activities of pole erection and pulling wire, generators (if any) - The main work will be done manually or by small scale machines.

Significance Duration of Impact/issues Impact description of impact impact each site at pole’s foundation is short from 2 or 3 days for foundation excavation, 5 days for pouring concrete, 2 or 3 days for cable pulling. Noise and vibration (if there is any) will be caused only during very short period of time in each foundation position. - Owing to these mentioned reasons, the noise and vibration impact caused by the subproject is considered as medium. Soil erosion Small Short-term - The subproject area’s terrain is generally flat. - The vegetation cover of subproject area at the present is relatively good: rice paddy, garden with mixed trees, fruit trees etc. - Excavation is planned to carry out in dry season; - Regarding soil erosion, the impact is considered as small due to the small scale of related activities, short duration and the affected area is small. Air pollution Medium Short-term - Dust generated from soil excavation, especially during dry seasons. - Dust generated by the transportation of supplies and equipment during the subproject construction. The transportation of raw materials, construction materials and equipments for the subproject is relatively significant. It also causes dust and air pollution. - There are some sections of the overhead transmission line will be affected in term of air pollution. Agricultural Medium Medium - Some of productive land will be mobilized for construction purpose in a short period of time. production due - The temporary acquisition of productive land will only cause damages in a seasons or to temporary maximum 02 seasons of producing acquisition of - The subproject owner has planned and will implement the compensation for the temporary land productive acquisition. land Traffic Medium Short-term - Transportation of material and equipment, soil excavation and cable pulling activities will disturbance in disturb the normal traffic in the areas during short period of time; roads and - In open areas, the transportation of construction materials is generally easy due to relatively railway developed traffic system in the subproject area; - Conditions for transportation of material and equipment are generally convenient. The system of national road, provincial road is relatively good. Walking trails in the area of agricultural land, orchards are generally well developed.

Significance Duration of Impact/issues Impact description of impact impact - The transportation of construction materials and equipments for the subproject will not exceed the capacity of the existing traffic flow in the area. - Transmission line will go across other works as follows: + Crossing 110kV transmission line : 3 times. + crossing medium and low voltage lines: 29 times. + crossing fiber cable: 1 time. + Crossing national highways: including Ho Chi Minh National Highway, National Highway 30, National Highway 80, National Highway 54, National Highway 91. + crossing waterways: crossing 03 major rivers including the Tien River, the Hau River and the Cao Lanh river and cutting through 94 canals. Transportation in these points will be affected by subproject cable pulling over the roads. Scaffold will be constructed to enable pulling cable crossing these roads to minimize impact on transportation. Construction Medium Short-term Because the soil in the areas passing the rivers is weak, so foundations of towers are designed as pile activities to foundations and implemented by using method of drilling and dropping piles in succession. The cross the Tien process of drilling and dropping piles will generate relatively high noise (up to 110dBA). However, in River (838m), the surrounding area of the foundations there are no the residents and the implementation process will and the Hau last 3-5 days, therefore the influence of noise to the surrounding people is negligible River(1,081m) - The process of stretching wire passing the Tien River (838m), and the Hau River(1,081m) can interrupt the traffic. However, the project will apply the following measures + Preparation of stretching wire will be done carefully. + Logically arrange stretching wire passing the rivers, when stretching wire, avoid implementing during the rush hours when there are many ships, boats travelling. + Only stretching wire when there is agreement of the waterway management board, presence of the representative and the exact time according to the agreement. + At first, gather simultaneously materials, construction machinery, vehicles and instruments, then introduce the team's workers about design, distance of crossing river and content about the construction process, perform division of responsibilities among team members. Proceed agreement on convention signals and communication between construction workers working in different locations.

Significance Duration of Impact/issues Impact description of impact impact + Signing the lease of vehicles on the river, preparing the river flow and test the ability of docking of river tugs or canoes. + Building scaffolds to pass or removing temporarily works which hinder spreading and stretching wire. + Spreading wire across the river using tugs, putting wire on rafts or floats. + If there is no a tree trunk or rock on the riverbed, then wire will be dropped into the water to spread, if spreading wire by this method wire will be stretched after spreading completion. Therefore, the impact of noise and traffic disruption risks on the waterway due to construction across the rivers is medium and short term. Assessing the Small Short-term -On the Tien river, there are many ships, boats travelling so stretching wire have to ensure operation impact to water for ships, boats. transport for - The area crossing the Tien river is 3.5 km from the construction site of the Vam Cong bridge, the Tien river therefore, construction of the Vam Cong bridge does not affect operation of ships and boats on the Tien river area. - The section crossing the Tien river only needs to replace conductor on the foundation of tower which were built, so stretching wire on the Tien river will not affect significantly operation of ships and boats. Degradation of Small Short-term - Transportation of construction materials with high frequency may cause damage to the existing the existing rural roads; rural roads - Raw materials are transported by trucks along the inter-provincial and inter-district roads. At the foundations far from roads, materials are moved manually to construction positions. Therefore, the frequency of transport just increases very little on the soil roads with not good quality so Subproject activities will not cause serious impacts on these roads. - Currently, the local government and people supervise the management of rural roads relatively well. Large load transportations are not allowed to run through roads whose quality is not good enough. This is also an issue that the contractors have to comply and thoroughly transporting options to avoid rural road degradation. Solid waste Small None Excessive soil and materials will be used for filling of poles’ foundations. The volume of generated from excessive soil is not enough for substation and foundations, it has to purchase and transport from soil excavation other places. Therefore it could be said that impact is insignificant.

It will flow block due block water flow in these canals. to landslide - Usually, foundations are designed to be far from canal embankments; during - In case foundations would be located near a canal, the embankments of the canal need to construction of strengthen by wooden piles to protect shores and avoid landslide and soil erosion. foundations near irrigation canal Environmental Medium Short-term - The subproject implementation is expected to be completed in 04 months, with a construction impacts caused period about 02 months. The remaining time is mainly reserved for installation of equipment. by - It is estimated that 124 workers will be mobilized to construction of the subproject, but the construction maximum number of workers per day is 46 people /day. Workers will be chosen from the workers professional ones in the region. These workers will hire houses of local people for their activities. Part of workers is from local, so people need to stay not high. - Worker will use toilet and bath facilities with host families or additionally constructed for convenience. - Construction sites will dispose solid waste that can cause environmental pollution. - Thus the impact is considered as medium and can be reduced.. Conflict Small Short-term - The conflict between workers and local people might occur due to differences on income, between culture and attitude; construction - The subproject will be implemented in well developed areas and quite crowded places; the
