5 PPMU of My Tho City Subproject Consultant: Dong Duong Construction Investment Join Stock Company Executive Summary of EIA Report and EMP Mekong Delta region Urban Upgrading Project (MDR-UUP) - My Tho city Sub-project 2 - BASELINE CONDITIONS 2.1. Geography and climate My Tho city is located in the southern province of Tien Giang. Tien Giang is surrounded by the provinces of Ben Tre, Long An and Dong Thap. The city currently has 11 wards and 2 six communes and encompasses an area of 81.45 km . The city is flat with an average elevation of + 1.5 to 2.0 m above sea level. The main waterways of the city include the Tien River which flows along the southern boundary of the city. The Bao Dinh river flows through 4 km of the city center and connects My Tho city with Tan An town. To the east, the Bao Dinh river connects with the Ky Hon - Cho Gao canal system through the Go Cat river. There also is an interconnecting canal system throughout the area. The waterways are influenced by irregular semi-diurnal tides. The rainy season lasts from May to November. The total annual rainfall is an average of 1922 mm. The average annual temperature is 27.0oC. 2.2. Socio-economic conditions My Tho city had a total population of 213,639 people in 2009. The average population 2 density of the city is 4,240 per km • The population growth rate is projected at 2.6% annually. The average income in the project area is 2.7 million VND/month (about US$120 equivalent) and poverty rate in the LIAs is 10 - 12%. Main employment in the area is trading and services accounting for 28.6% of the work force. The main ethnic group in the project area is the Kinh. 2.3. Urban infrastructure and services Seven temples and churches and five schools are located near the project works. The water supply system for My Tho city utilizes raw water from two main sources: the Tien River, and groundwater which is slightly saline. Currently, water is supplied to most of the alleys in the city. However, a few locations must rely on water wells or rain water collection. In addition, some poor families do not have the funds to connect to the water supply system. The city's drainage system is seriously degraded and covers the central urban area only. There is frequent local flooding during the monsoon season because the drain and sewer pipes are too small, especially in the Quarter 5,6 of Ward 3. Also, there are drains along the main roads, such as Doc Binh Kieu and Phan Boi Chau streets. Solid waste management is the responsibility of the local URENCO. They collect about 130 tons/day of solid waste, covering 95% of households. The remaining 5% is dumped into waterways or on land. The collected waste is disposed of at the Tan Lap landfill, Tan Phuoc district.

2.4. Environmental baseline In the LIAs, ambient air sampling results indicate that there are low levels of air pollution. However, in areas of heavy traffic, such as Rach Mieu Bridge, Tien Giang Bus Treminal, Provincial Road No. 208. Dust concentration and noise level exceed national standards by a factor of 1.1 - 1.2. The city's canals and rivers show signs of organic pollution due to wastewater discharges and solid waste dumping from residential areas. Concentration of BODS and COD and coliform counts are 1.1 to 3.0 times higher than national standards. Local groundwater is not contaminated by heavy metals, BOD, or COD; and all parameters meet the national standards. However, fecal coliform counts exceeds the current thresholds for safe drinking water. The concentrations of heavy metals, acidity and salinity in sediments from existing canals are below the standard threshold levels, allowing application of dredged materials to agricultural land.

Nevertheless, the project will cause some negative impacts (temporarily or permanently) on the local environment and the local population. Therefore, effective implementation of mitigation measures will be necessary. The potential negative impacts of the project's subcomponent on the physical, biological, and socio-economic environments are identified using the checklist method, including assessment of the levels of impacts during the preconstruction, construction, and operation phases. Potential negative cumulative and social and impacts on physical cultural resources (PCR) have been identified separately. Identification of Potential Negative Impacs 3.1. General Impacts Based on the analysis of baseline data, field visits, and discussion with key officials and stakeholders, the potential negative impacts on the physical, biological, and socio-economic environment caused by the project have been identified. Table 1 summarizes the potential impacts by the project subcomponents. The level of impacts are assigned as follows: None (N) -no impact; Low (L) - Small works, minor impacts, localized, reversible, temporary; Medium (M) -Small works in urban/sensitive areas, medium scale works with moderate impacts of which most are reversible, reducible and manageable, localized, temporary; High (H) -Medium scale works in small urban Isensitive area, large scale works with significant impacts (socially and/or environmentally) of which some are irreversible and require compensation. The residual impacts of the project, after implementation of mitigation measures discussed in the EMP, are expected to be mostly negligible. In general, the project activities to be carried out under Component 1 (Tertiary Infrastructure Upgrading in Low Income Areas), Component 2 (Primary and Secondary Infrastructure Upgrading), and Component 3 (Resettlement Sites) will involve small and/or medium scale civil works, for which most of the potential negative impacts are reversible, temporary, and localized, that can be mitigated through the application of good engineering and construction management practices, and with close supervision and monitoring of contractor performance and consultation with local communities.

Upgrading alleys at Lia 13; Buu Lam Impacts of noise to sensitive works are relatively small Pagoda near the work of alley because construction activities use small-sized construction equipment, noise generates at the low level and distance Upgrading alleys at Lia 16, My Tho from sensitive places to the construction site is over 50m. Cao Dai Oratories At the Oratories, there are often inhabitants participating in spiritual cultural activities so the construction activities of the project can generate dust, pollutants, noise and vibration directly impacting to spiritual actions and health of parishioners. 12 PPMU oCMy Tho City Subproject Consultant: Dong Duong Construction Investment Join Stock Company Executive Summary of EIA Report and EMP Mekong Delta region Urban Upwading Project (MDR-UUP) - My Tho ciry Sub-project

Especially in festivals, it is necessary to avoid affecting to activities of festivals. In addition, a number of people concentrate very crowded, it causes the situation of obstruction, traffic ·am at ates. 3. Component 2: Van Linh Dai Pagoda is a religious work where often places LO ME ROAD: Impact to Van Linh take religious activities of Buddhist monks and nuns, Dai Pagoda, some office agencies Buddhists. Dust, noise, vibration from the construction along road process can affect directly to health and spiritual activities of Buddhist monks and nuns, Buddhists here. Especially at the beginning days of month, the fifteenth day INVESTMENT ITEM: LO ME of the months or large festivals of Buddhism such as ROAD anniversary of Buddha's Birthday, impacts such as noise, vibration, dust are necessary to reject to avoid affecting to I activities of Pagodas. Crowded concentration in these Van Linh festivals also causes the situation of traffic jam at the pagoda , gates and adjacent routes. Activities of organization, offices two (02) routes can be affected by dust, exhausted gas and epecially noise eneratin from the construction rocess. II. OPERATION PHASE Surface water quality impacts due to wastewater connection process from Lias are upgraded Components put into operation increasing people to concentrate at the project site, increasing waste concentration 1. COMPONENTS 1,2 and load disposing into the receiving body. Wastewater from '+ households after connected will be collected into the canal, sewer system in the city, thence discharging into Bao Dinh River and Tien River. Therefore, receiving capacity of pollutant load ofTien River should be evaluated. The results of calculation as follows: I------~------T------T------, : Parameter : BOD5 : COD: TSS : ::: ~~: i~~~~)i: [::: ~~,~i~:::1:: i~i:~J~::1::::: ~):~:g~:?:::::1 The calculation results show that indicator Ltn for pollutants is >0 so Tien River has the receiving capacity of wastewater of upgraded areas in case of centralized wastes, practically, wastewater of upgraded areas will be discharged following several different outlets so pollutant load receiving capacity of Tien River is in loading threshold. After receiving, the water quality of Tien River doesn't exceed column B2 of CVN 08:2008IBTNMT. 2. EMBANKMENT OF TIEN Impact - Erosion issue at riverbank: RIVER The Mike 11 model was applied to simulate the changing of water flow velocity in the Tien River at the location of the proposed embankment based on the cross-section of Tien river bed. The results of the simulation of changing water levels and flow velocity when having project's embankments as follows: 1. The area of embankment is about 30m2 of sectional area 2 MC2 (the area is 93,850.0 m ) equivalent to 0,032% when of water level is assumed to +2 m. Thus the embankment encroachs negligible and does not alter the flow regime of Tien river through My Tho city. 2. The water level and ca aci of Tien river at section MC2

EMBANKMENT OF TIEN Impacts to erosion process of Tan Long Island: RIVER - TAN LONG ISLAND 1. The present situation of Tan Long Island is under erosion at the Southern bank, not opposite bank to the embankment at ward 2 of the project. 2. Based on attached map, morphology of Tien River at the area shows that the Southern bank of Tan Long Island will be affected by erosion impacts of Tien River, for the Northern branch of Tan Long Island, bank area of ward 2 is affected by erosion impacts of flow, the Northern bank of Tan Long Island is accumulation place. Therefore, the city suggests to build embankment along Tien River at ward 2. According to evaluation by mean of emulation of MIKE 11 model, design of embankment encroachment of 20m will not change much flow velocity of Tien River as well as not impact significantly to accumulation and erosion processes of Tan Long Island.

Detailed information regarding the nature and scale of the impacts and proposed mitigation measures are provided in the "Resettlement Plan" (RP) report which was prepared separately. There are no indigenous peoples affected by the My Tho City subproject. Other social impacts Other potential social impacts on local communities such as those relating to transportation, road safety or public safety, or disruptions of communities during site clearance, construction, and operation are integrated into the discussion in Sections 4.3 and 4.4. 3.4. Potential Impacts on Physical Cultural Resources (PCR) The project will involve upgrading of the relocation of no graves but two PCRs will be affected (see below table). Accordingly, detailed measures to protect the PCR resources (see Chapter 5) has been prepared as required by the WB's safeguard policy on PCR (OPIBP 4.11). Table 5.

3.5. Cumulative Impacts Cumulative impacts due to sand exploitation supplying to project When the project is implemented on the locaity of my Tho City, this will generate a large demand of sand to serve for construction work. The demand of sudden growth will make sand exploitation speeded up. At the present, sand exploitation serving for development and ocnstruciton demands of My Tho is taking place all basins of Tien River, Tien Giang Province. Especially, the reach of Tien River in front of My Tho City will be a region happening illegal exploitation to provide for the My Tho Urban Upgrading Project. Management of sand exploitation on Tien River, area of My Tho City is necessary to comply with Decision No. 25/2007/QD-UBND dated June 15, 2007 on promulgating regulations on management, license, exploration, exploitation and usage of riverbed sand mineral resources on the locality of Tien Giang province. According to this decision, exploitation capacity of Tien Giang in period from 2011 to 2015 is six (06) million m3 of sand yearly, with the capacity and demand of annual sand using of the project, the situation of sand shortage to supply for the project will not happen. However, if the supply source isn't checked closely, illegal sand exploitation to serve for the project, especially the reach of Tien River in front of My Tho City will go on. In addition, regions arent' permitted exploitation as: • The area of My Thuan Bridge:with co-ordination UTM from 5.97.200 to 6.01.000. • The area of My Tho Port: with co-ordination UTM from 6.41.150 to 6.44.300. • The area of Rach Mieu Bridge to Ky Hon Ditch: with co-ordination UTM from 6.47.000 to 6.52.700. Cumulative impacts between components ofthe project At Lia areas, there are more two (02) items, impacts will be resonated to increase influences to environmental elements. A part of Lia 1,2 areas is taking place items of alley route rehabilitation and upgrading, adjacent to items of embankment of Tien River. Therefore, concentration of dust, exhausted gas from construction facilities will be higher, noise is also more. House wrecks, building solid wastes with a big amount are also a problem which surrounding people must face. The area of My Phong commune, the area adjacent to Lo Me Street and the resettlement area will be concurrently impacted from expansion process of Lo Me route and from construction activities of the resettlement area. Concentration dust, noise, exhausted gas is higher; the amount of domestic and building solid wastes is more; especially risk of confliction between workers and local people becomes higher. Cumulative impacts with related projects In company with the Urban Upgrading Project (UUP), My Tho City has a plan to carry out other two (02) related projects such as Bach Nha ditch rehabilitation project - ward 4; Tien and Bao Dinh rivers embankment projects. 1. At the area of Bach Nha Ditch: the area of ward 4 will take place dredging, rehabilitation activities of NUUP project and projects of the city so resonance will 17 PPMU of My Tho City Subproject Consultant: Dong Duong Construction Investment Join Stock Company Executive Summary of EIA Report and EMP Mekong Delta region Urban Upgrading Project (MDR- UUP) - My Tho cit~ Sub-project

increase impact level, mainly dust, exhausted gas and noise from construction facilities and especially the amount of dredged sludge. The big amount of dredged sludge from two (02) projects will be high risks causing emission and aquatic, terrestrial environmental pollution of ambient areas if it isn't collected and treated timely. 2. Embankment of Tien River of Project and Tien and Bao Dinh rivers Embankment Projects of the city: the integrated impacts are easily found out in the construction period as growth of exhausted gas, dust contents and noise generating from construction activities. Especially, the possibility of hazardous solid wastes (waste lubricating oil, chemicaL.) and domestic solid wastes dissipating directly into the river is very high. Therefore, if the amount of hazardous and domestic solid wastes of all embankment works isn't controlled well and transported, treated timely, it will be a large risk to the water quality of Tien River and ecosystem here. In operation phase, according to reference from the approved environmental impact assessment (EIA) report of the embankment project of My Tho City, embankment construction of the city will have insignificant impacts to sedimentation and erosion in front of and back of the embankment. The embankment at ward 2 of the project will be connected with the embankment system of Bao Dinh River and embankment of Tien River to create the anti-erosion embankment system for Tien River bank and create beautiful landscape for the city.

4 - MITIGATION MEASURE There are several strategies (avoidance, minimization, rectification, and/or compensation) that can be applied to mitigate the potential negative impacts identified in Chapter 4 of detail EIA. For example, during the preparation of the project, efforts have been made to avoid potential adverse impacts on families that would require land acquisition and resettlement; this was achieved by reducing the scope and/or modification of the basic design of the project investments. In developing the mitigation measures, the above strategies to minimize and/or avoid negative impacts have been applied and, where appropriate, compensation will be made. The proposed mitigation measures to reduce the impacts due to land acquisition and resettlement are described in the RP and RPF. This chapter identifies measures to mitigate the key negative project impacts during construction (which include site clearance, ground leveling, and construction) and operation. Given that most key impacts will occur due to civil works and transportation of construction/waste materials, many of the potential negative impacts on physical, biological, and social environment can usually be mitigated through a set of general measures that are typically applied to construction projects to minimize impacts such as noise, dust, traffic disruption, wastewater generation, etc. As part of the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for the project these general measures have been transformed into a set of standard environmental specification that will be incorporated into all bidding and contract documents of the project. These measures are referred to as Environmental Codes of Practice (ECOPs), and they will be applied to mitigate typical and general impacts the project's civil works. The scope and content of the ECOPs are presented below. • Urban Construction Environmental Codes of Practice (ECOPs) • ECOPs are a set of actions and measures to mitigate general negative impacts during construction. They describe typical actions to be taken by contractors, supervised by the construction supervision consultants (CSC) during construction, and monitored by the communities and the Independent Environmental Monitoring Consultant (IEMC)1. These ECOPs also cover the applicable provisions under Section 4.0 on Construction and Decommissioning of the IFC-World Bank Group Guidelines for Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS). The detailed ECOPs will be incorporated into the bidding and contract documents (BD/CD) during the detailed design stage. The scope and content of the ECOPs is limited to construction activities for small and medium-size contract works. The impacts of such works are of limited extent, are temporary and reversible, and can be managed readily with good construction practices. • The ECOP measures identifY typical mitigation actions for the following types of impacts: - Dust generation - Air pollution - Impacts from noise and vibrations - Water pollution

IFor details of the role and function of the IEMC see further below. 19 PPMU of My Tho City Subproject Consultant: Dong Duong Construction Investment Join Stock Company Executive Summary of EIA Report and EMP Mekong Delta region Urban Upgrading Project (MDR-UUP) - My Tho city Sub-project

- Drainage and sedimentation control Management of stockpiles, quarries, and borrow pits - Solid waste management - Management of dredged materials - Disruption of vegetative covers and ecological resources - Traffic management - Interruption of utility services Restoration of affected areas - Workers' and public safety - Communication with local communities - Chance finds of cultural or archeological artifacts The detailed ECOPs are in Annex 1; they are cross-referenced to the respective equivalent Vietnamese regulations, standards, and codes of practice. If impacts require site-specific mitigation measures that are not adequately covered in these generic ECOPs, they must be addressed separately in the EMP. For example, the above ECOPs do not cover impacts from worker camps - assuming they would not generally be needed for small urban works projects - and impacts from large works, such as dams, bridges, tunnels, and major roads. The ECOPs cover small dredging operations; however, operations generating very large amounts, or seriously contaminated, sludge would need to be handled through a separate set of measures outside of the scope of these ECOPs, such as in a dredging and materials management plan (DMMP). Social impacts caused by involuntary resettlement or involving ethnic minorities are addressed in other safeguard instruments.

5 - MANAGEMENT AND MONITORING PROGRAM Prepared as a part of the EIA, an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is a safeguards instrument that is typically used in many projects. It consists of information on, and guidance for, the process of mitigating and managing adverse environmental impacts throughout project implementation. Typically in Vietnam, an EMP comprises a list of typical mitigation measures to be carried out by contractors and others, an environmental monitoring program, capacity building, organizational arrangements and responsibilities, and the estimated cost of EMP implementation and monitoring. There is a comprehensive regulatory framework (regulations, standards, codes of practice, etc.) in Vietnam related to environmental and safety aspects that are relevant to construction activities, environmental quality, protection and management of cultural property, and other aspects related to construction and operation of facilities and infrastructures. This EMP in consistent with these regulations. To facilitate effective implementation of the EMPs, the city subproject PPMUs will: (a) establish an Environmental and Social Unit (ESU) responsible for ensuring the timely implementation of the EMP, including monitoring, reporting, and capacity building related to safeguards; (b) assign the Construction Supervision Consultant (CSC) to be responsible for supervision of the contractor's safeguard performance as part of the construction contract and this requirement will be included in the CSC terms of reference (TOR); and (c) hire qualified national consultants as the Independent Environmental Management Consultant (IEMC) to assist the ESU in performing these tasks. The city's water supply, drainage, and urban maintenance companies, as appropriate, will be responsible for implementing the mitigation measures during the operation stage of the project; they will ensure that the mitigation measures are implemented and adequate budgets are provided. The Provincial Steering Committee (PSC) chaired by the Chairman or Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee (PCP) of the respective province will provide the overall policy guidance and oversight for project implementation, including the EMP. There are two main parts to this EMP. Firstly, the City will use Urban Construction Environmental Codes of Practice (ECOPs) for urban construction works. Environmental codes of practice (ECOPs) are mitigation measures for generic impacts from project activities during the construction phase; they must be included in the bidding documents as requirements directed to the construction contractor. ECOPs are not a formally recognized World Bank safeguards instrument but their use, as part of an EMP, is a convenient and effective way to ensure that the main generic, common and typical construction impacts are adequately mitigated during project implementation. If impacts require site-specific mitigation measures that are not adequately covered in these generic ECOPs, they must be addressed separately in the EMP. For example, the above ECOPs do not cover impacts from worker camps - assuming they would not generally be needed for small urban works projects - and impacts from large works, such as dams, bridges, tunnels, and major roads. The ECOPs cover small dredging operations; however, operations generating very large amounts, or seriously contaminated, sludge would need to be handled through a separate set of measures outside of the scope ofthese ECOPs, such as in a dredging

21 PPMU of My Tho City Subproject Consultant: Dong Duong Construction Investment Join Stock Company Executive Summary of EIA Report and EMP Mekong Delta region Urban Upgrading Project (MDR-UUP) - My Tho citySub-project and materials management plan (DMMP). Social impacts caused by involuntary resettlement or involving ethnic minorities are addressed in other safeguard instruments. Activities carried out to mitigate impacts due to land acquisition and resettlement are presented separate safeguard documents (in the RPF and RP); they will be carried out and monitored separately. Also included in the EMP are related measures, above and beyond actual mitigation measures. TIlls includes the PPMUs' EMP program, including capacity building and safeguard training; and environmental monitoring. 5.1. Environmental management program 5.1.1. Management of impact on project sites Table 8 presents site-specific impacts and mitigation measures that are not fully addressed through the application of ECOPs. This may be because the impact is not a typical one and is not included in the ECOPs, because the severity of the impact goes beyond the scope of the mitigation measures in the ECOPs, or because simply of the very specific nature of the mitigation measure that is needed. Table 6. Site Specific Impacts and Mitigation Measures

5.2. ENVIRONMENT MONITORING PROGRAM Three levels of environmental safeguards monitoring will be implemented as follows: - Routine monitoring: This will be done by the Construction Supervision Consultant (CSC) as assigned by the PPMU. The CSC will include the environmental monitoring results in the monthly project progress reports. - Periodic monitoring: This will be done every three months as part of the overall monitoring of the EMP implementation. The environmental and social unit (ESU) of the PPMU, assisted by the Independent Environmental Monitoring Consultant (IEMC) will also monitor the contractor performance every three months and the results will be reported to the PPMU and the WB. - Community monitoring: Monitoring by local communities will be conducted following Government practices, with technical and management support from the PPMU. To ensure an acceptable level ofenvironmental quality, monitoring ofdust, noise, vibration, air quality, and water quality will be made at project - specific locations that are likely to be most affected by the construction activities. Specific monitoring locations may also be requested by local authorities and/or communities for specific purposes. ESUIIEMC will have overall responsibility for the monitoring program. The following are the key issues, citeria and scope of monitoring that will be taken into account in the implementation of the monitoring program: 27 PPMU of My Tho City Subproject Consultant: Dong Duong Construction Investment Join Stock Company Executive Summary of EIA Report and EMP Mekong Delta region Urban Upgrading Project fMDR-UUP) - Mv Tho city Sub-project

- General Construction Impacts: local flooding; traffic congestion and/or disruption, especially in residential areas; air quality, and noise and dust levels in residential areas; surface water quality upstream and downstream of construction sites, with specific attention paid to impacts on local residents; - Implementation of site-specific EMPs that require specific monitoring activities that are not covered by the ECOPs nor by the Vietnamese lregulations, standards and codes. Such monitoring activities will be as agreed with local agencies and communities during the preparation of the EMP and monitoring program. - Implementation of Dredged Materials Management Plan (DMMP): for all sludge and similar material excavated from the project work sites that exceeds the national thresholds for toxic substances, a site-specific DMMP will be used. Amounts, levels of heavy metals, if any, locations and activities at disposal sites, and impacts on local residents will be monitored, based on a water quality monitoring plan with specific stations and parameters for monitoring impacts on other water users. (Detail ofDMMP is presented in Annex 2) - Monitoring the Effectiveness of the EMP: The ESU assisted by IEMC will monitor the overall performance of the EMP implementation during the detailed designlbidding stage as well as during construction and the first year operation of the facilities to ensure that (a) appropriate dredging and disposal of drainage sludge is properly carried out, in accordance with the DMMP, (b) other impacts identified in the EMP are effectively managed and mitigated; (c) traffic management is adequate and the levels of impacts are acceptable, i.e. there are no new complaints nor any outstanding cases, and (d) all typical general impacts are mitigated in accordance with the ECOPs. Results are to be kept in the project file for possible review by PPMU and the WB. Cost for the monitoring will be part of the PPMU cost. The following tables outline the parameters for the monitoring program and its estimated cost considering that some activities will be carried out (i) before construction (project baseline environmental conditions), (ii) during construction (assumed to take five years), and (iii) during the first year of operation. Detailed monitoring programs will be prepared during the detailed design stage. The estimated cost for monitoring was incorporated into the EMP costs). Many of the parameters listed below are required by Vietnamese regulations and would need to be done even if they are not directly related to expected project impacts.

5.4. Capacity Building Program 5.4. Capacity Building Program 5.4.1. Technical Assistance support for the implementation of safeguards An assessment of safeguards implementation capacity of existing PPMU staff indicated that PPMU staff have limited knowledge of WB safeguard requirements as well as limited knowledge of environmental and social issues. Such lack of capacity represents a risk to the implementation of safeguards requirements as contained in the EMP and as required by the WB policy. It therefore is necessary' to address this weakness through capacity building. It is proposed to provide capacity building through technical assistance that will support the PPMU during the implementation of the EMP. The technical assistance will provide the necessary support to the PPMU in its work with contractors as well as other entities involved in the implementation of the EMP. The technical assistance will include support from experts and training that will cover (i) general knowledge of safeguards requirements and project procedures, and (ii) important specific knowledge in safeguard procedures and requirements for project staff, consultants, and national contractors. This will include, for example, assistance with the preparation of documents and implementation of training programs on environmental management and environmental monitoring for contractors, CSC and relevant staff of PPMU (environmental staff and coordinators of contract packages) to do their tasks. It will also include assisting the PPMU's environmental and social staff with the review of contract documents to ensure compliance with the EMP. It will also provide general environmental guidance as requested by the PPMU to enhance overall project implementation and performance. Given the nature, locations, and scale of construction, it is anticipated that the safeguard technical assistance support and training will be provided at least during the first 3 years of the project implementation. The WB safeguard specialists will support this in the capacity building program, in particular in the training activities as appropriate. 5.4.2. Proposed training programs The table below provides examples of the basic training programs for safeguards during project implementation. The training programs will be developed and delivered by the Technical Assistance team for the implementation of safeguards for the PPMU training. The PPMU/JEMC with the support of the Technical Assistance team for the implementation of safeguards will provide the training to contractors, CSC and other groups. Other more specific and tailored training will be developed and agreed upon between PPMU, JEMC and the Technical Assistance team for the implementation of safeguards during project implementation based upon a reassessment of needs and the status of safeguards implementation. - Target groups for the training: include PPMU staff, ESU staff, field engineers, CSC, construction contractors, local authorities and community representatives in the project area. Training of workers and drivers is the responsibility ofthe contractor. - Training schedule: At least 1 month before the construction of the first contract. The training can be adjusted in line with the implementation schedule of the subproject/contracts. 39 PPMU of My Tho City Subproject Consultant: Dong Duong Construction Investment Join Stock Company Executive Summary of EIA Report and EMP Mekong Delta region Urban Upgrading Project (MDR-UUP) - My Tho city Sub-project

Training frequency: The basic training programs proposed in table 6.8 will take place every six months on a yearly basis and its content updated and adapted to implementation issues. Training frequency and content will be reassessed during implementation depending on needs. It is foreseen that the training program for PPMU staff will continue until year three of implementation. Three days of training for esc and contractors are also planned to take place twice a year on an annual basis for at least two years. Table 12.

Estimated EMP Cost The table below provides a cost estimate for EMP implementation (excluding the resettlement cost and the costs for independent monitoring of the RP and EMDP implementation). The EMP costs2 will comprise (i) cost of implementation of the mitigation measures by the contractors, (ii) costs of supervision by the CSC, (iii) cost for environmental monitoring consultant (JEMC), (iv) costs of monitoring of environmental quality, (v) PPMU safeguard management costs, including technical assistance support for the implementation of safeguards and training. Costs for the implementation of the mitigation measures during construction will be part of the contract costs while the costs for monitoring of SEMP by the CSC is provided for in the construction supervision contracts. Costs for PPMU operations related to EMP are provided for in the project management budget of the PPMU, including basic safeguards training and allowances for people who participate in the monitoring program. After project completion, the cost for environmental monitoring of the constructed facilities will be funded by the cities' operations and maintenance budgets. The participation of community representatives in EMP implementation is voluntary, and without salary. Hence, to encourage the participation of community members, the cost for materials, equipment used for monitoring and rewards for people who are voted to implement monitoring are taken into account. Following decision No. 80/2005/QD-ITg dated 18/4/2005 of Prime Minister on regulations of community investment monitoring and joint circular for guidelines of decision implementation No. 80/2005/QD-TTg "cost for supporting the investment monitoring of community in commune/ward are calculated in cost estimation of commune/ward fatherland front and are guaranteed by commune/ward people's committee budget; cost for propagation, training courses, guiding, closing of community investment monitoring at district and provincial level are calculated in cost estimation of commune/ward Fatherland Front and are guaranteed by commune/ ward people's committee budget".

Given that most key impacts will occur due to civil works and transportation of construction/waste materials, many of the potential negative impacts on physical, biological, and social environment can usually be mitigated through a set of general measures that are typically applied to construction projects to minimize impacts such as noise, dust, traffic disruption, wastewater generation, etc. As part of the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for the project these general measures have been transformed into a set of standard environmental specification that will be incorporated into all bidding and contract documents of the project. These measures are referred to as Environmental Codes of Practice (ECOPs), and they will be applied to mitigate typical and general impacts the project's civil works. The scope and content of the ECOPs are presented below. ECOPs are a set of actions and measures to mitigate the general negative impacts during construction. They describe typical actions to be taken by contractors, supervised by the construction supervision consultants (CSC) during construction, and monitored by the communities and the Independent Environmental Monitoring Consultant (IEMC). These ECOPs also cover the applicable provisions under Section 4.0 on Construction and Decommissioning of the IFC-World Bank Group Guidelines for Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS). The detailed ECOPs will be incorporated into the bidding and contract documents (BD/CD) during the detailed design stage. The scope and content of the ECOPs is limited to construction activities for small and medium-size contract works. The impacts of such works are of limited extent, are temporary and reversible, and can be managed readily with good construction practices. The ECOP measures identify typical mitigation actions for the following types of impacts: - Dust generation - Air pollution - Impacts from noise and vibrations - Water pollution - Drainage and sedimentation control - Management of stockpiles, quarries, and borrow pits - Solid waste management - Management of dredged materials - Disruption of vegetative covers and ecological resources - Traffic management - Interruption of utility services - Restoration of affected areas Workers' and public safety - Communication with local communities - Chance finds of cultural or archeological artifacts

The detailed ECOPs are cross-referenced to the respective equivalent Vietnamese regulations, standards, and codes of practice. If impacts require site-specific mitigation measures that are not adequately covered in these generic ECOPs, they must be addressed separately in the EMP. For example, the above ECOPs do not cover impacts from worker camps assuming they would not generally be needed for small urban works projects - and impacts from large works, such as dams, bridges, tunnels, and major roads. The ECOPs cover small dredging operations; however, operations generating very large amounts, or seriously contaminated, sludge would need to be handled through a separate set of measures outside of the scope of these ECOPs, such as in a dredging and materials management plan (DMMP). Social impacts caused by involuntary resettlement or involving ethnic minorities are addressed in other safeguard instruments.

ANNEX 2: Guidelines for the Preparation of a Dredged Materials Management Plan (DMMP) for Contaminated Sludge To ensure that dredging, transportation, and disposal of contaminated sludge will not create adverse impacts on local residents and the environment, a guideline for the preparation of a DMMP is provided below. If during the environmental assessment stage, contaminated material is identified in the water body to be excavated, the detailed design will include a comprehensive testing program and the development of a DMMP, reflecting the guidelines below. The main environmental and social issues related to contaminated dredged materials are: (a) pollution during the transport of the dredged materials from the dredging site to the disposal area; (b) potential increase in turbidity and pollution of the ambient water in the lakes/canals during dredging; (c) odors and other nuisance to local residents; and (d) potential improper use of contaminated sludge for public infrastructure works or in residential areas. To facilitate the preparation of a DMMP given that the activities will be carried out in an urban area and/or in an existing water body that may .be used by other water users, the following important aspects must be considered: • Assess the quality ofthe sediments. This assessment must be carried out to confirm that the sediments do not include large amounts of environmentally harmful materials, such as heavy metals and/or other toxic substances. If the materials are found to be above the thresholds for heavy metals or toxic substances stipUlated by the national standards, a special disposal plan should be prepared, together with a monitoring plan. The special disposal plan should also include a program to protect the residents in nearby communities from using the dredged materials for house construction or gardening. The bottom sediment/sludge samples will be analysed for key pollutants according to the Vietnamese national standards. The sampling and analytical methods should be in line with the Go V regulations while the number of sampling locations will depend on the risk levels for each specific site. The number of samples to be analysed will be determined by the proposed volume of dredging as follows:

Volume of Dredged Material in m3 No. of Sediment Samples ~pto 25,000 3 ~5,000 to 100,000 4-6 100,000 to 500,000 6-10 500,000 to 2,000,000 10-20 For each 1,000,000 above 2,000,000 Additional 10 • IdentifY the land available for the disposal ofthe dredged materials. The D MMP should identify the landfill sites and/or land that would be suitable for the disposal of dredged materials in line with the level of risks associated with it. Public land, land for construction of rural roads or other public works, or private land, may be used, if the affected landowners agree. If the risks due to contamination of the sludge are high, the sludge must be disposed of at sanitary landfills. • Prepare a dredging and transport plan. The dredging procedures and transport plan will outline the following: (a)· dredging methods (pipeline, water pumping before

56 PPMU of My Tho City Subproject Consultant: Dong Duong Construction Investment Join Stock Company Executive Summary of EIA Report and EMP Mekong Delta region Urban Upgrading Project (MDR-UUP) - My ~ho city Sub-project

digging, etc.), mode of transport to the disposal areas and/or temporary storage sites. If trucks are used, indicate proposed transport routes from the dredging site to the disposal area, (b) time and hours of operation, (c) types of barges or vehicles/trucks and proposed measures to reduce the leakage of the dredged materials from the transport trucks, (d) contractors' responsibilities for cleaning the roads and carry out remedial works if necessary, and ( e) a communication plan for the nearby communities, including contact numbers for lodging complaints. • Temporary storage/disposal for uncontaminated sediment/mud. The dredged materials are in a mud-like state before settling for 24 - 48 hours. All drainage water from the temporary storage on land shall be discharged back to the canal/lakes. For highly contaminated sludge, or sludge containing organic materials that generate strong odors, the dredged materials should be hauled by closed tanker trucks away from the construction site as soon as possible. For bottom sediments with a low content organic materials, the dredged sediments will be transported to a containment area which is appropriately located and properly designed and of an adequate size. A monitoring plan for tracking the disposal of highly contaminated materials, if any are present, will also be prepared. • Identify key areas and/or facilities (businesses, schools, public services, etc.) that are sensitive to dredging and transport ofdredged materials. The DMMP shall include an inventory / analysis of the potentially affected local businesses, access to water, and transport due to the dredging operations, and provide a plan to mitigate and/or compensate for the disturbances.
