This EMP identifies mitigation actions to be carried out under the subproject including the environmental monitoring program and the implementation arrangements. The EMP complies with the Government's EIA regulations and the World Bank (WB)'s safeguard policies, including those of the World Bank's Environmental, Health, and Safety Guidelines. The EMP presents a summary of the city's project description and brief baseline information of the project city, and a summary of the key environmental impacts. The actual EMP actions are based on the assessment of potential negative impacts, as summarized below, and the identification of actions to mitigate these impacts. EMP implementation management actions, capacity building, and environmental monitoring measures form part of the EMP.

Geograpby and natural conditions. Cao Lanh city is situated on the left bank of Tien River, along Highway 30, in Dong Thap province. Cao Lanh city's elevation varies from 1.3 m to 3.0 m above sea level. The rainy season extends from May to November. The highest annual rainfall is 2,005 mm and the annual average temperature is 27.1 °c. Most flooding occurs between July and November. The major river in Cao Lanh city is the Tien River which transports significant water traffic and drains most flood waters; other rivers in the Can Lanh city area include the Cao Lanh and the Dinh Trung. 2.2. Environmental Baseline Dust and vehicular exhaust fumes are the main sources of air pollution exceeding threshold levels in some areas. The concentration of dust and noise levels in populated areas is high, i.e. about 1.2 - 1.4 times the current standards. Sampling of the city's surface water indicates signs of organic pollution (BOD5, COD, N) and fecal bacteria (coliform), 1.1 - 1.3 times higher than the current standards. The major sources of pollution are domestic wastewater and uncollected wastes from residential areas in the city. However, the sludge in canals and lakes within the project area show no concentrations of heavy metals, organic compounds or pesticide residues above safe threshold levels. Groundwater is not contaminated by metals or organic matter. However, the coliform count in many observation points is 1-3 times higher than the current standard. 2.3. Economic and social cbaracteristics Socio-economic conditions: The total population ofCao Lanh city is 161,950. The population density in the project area is estimated at 2,171 peoplelkm2, with an annual population growth rate of 1.21%. The high unemployment rate of 18.8% results in a poverty rate of about 11 %. The average income of residents is 1,256,000 VND/month (about US$ 60 equivalent). Family trading and services are the sectors with the highest employment at 25%. Kinh people are the largest ethnic group in Cao Lanh, accounting for 99.3% of the total population. Small ethnic minority groups are the Hoa and Khmer. Urban infrastructure and services: Cultural and religious facilities (temples, pagodas, martyrs' memorials, schools) are located within and nearby the subproject areas. Suitable subproject alternatives were considered to avoid the encroaching on pagoda and temple compounds. There are seven temples, pagodas, churches, tamarind groves and 11 schools, as well as clinics and markets listed near the project works. Cao Lanh city has abundant freshwater resources supplied by the Tien River during the wet season. The city water supply system has a capacity of 27,000 m3/day using water taken from Summary of Environmental Impacts Assessment (EIA) and 11 Environmental Management Plan (EMP) MEKONG DELTA REGION URBAN UPGRADING PROJECT (MDR - UUP) Cao Lanh City sub-project - Dong Thap province the Tien River and also groundwater during the dry season. Currently, the existing water supply system only meets about 40% ofthe city's demand. The drainage system of Cao Lanh city, as well as the project areas, consists of a combined drainage network for rain water and wastewater flows. Underground drains and open ditches collect rain and wastewater and drain it to the canals for subsequent discharge to the Cao Lanh and Dinh Trung rivers. Most households discharge wastewater at the most convenient place, such as lakes, canals, or drainage ditches. Therefore, wastewater from households is not controlled and pollutes the surrounding environment and receiving waters. In sum, the current drainage system in Cao Lanh City is inadequate as it lacks wastewater collection and treatment systems. Currently, solid waste collection is available in eight wards and 6 communes of the city, with a total capacity of about 75 tons/day. After collection from alley entrances, solid waste is consolidated at transfer stations and subsequently transported to Dap Da landfill in Cao Lanh District. This existing sanitary landfill covers 25 ha and is 13 km from the inner city. The landfill is estimated to have adequate capacity until 2025. Summary of Environmental Impacts Assessment (EIA) and 12 EnvirP'.lmental Management Plan (EMP) MEKONG DELTA REGION URBAN UPGRADING PROJECT (MDR - UUP) Cao Lanh City sub-project - Dong Thap province 3 - Summary of Assessment of Negative Impacts When the project is completed, the overall impact will be positive. Nevertheless, the project will cause some negative impacts on the local environment and the local population. Therefore, effective implementation of mitigation measures will be necessary. The potential negative impacts 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 social impacts on physical cultural resources (PCR) have been identified separately. 3.1. Genera/ 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 3 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 andlor 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 to medium scale civil works. Most of the potential negative impacts are reversible, temporary, and localized, and can be mitigated. Mitigation will require the application of good engineering and construction management practices, close supervision and monitoring of contractor performance and consultation with local communities. However, some subcomponents of Component 2 are of larger scale, and their impacts may not be fully reversible or temporary. For instance embanking Cho canal, embanking Canal 16, constructing 03 new bridges, etc may result in some temporary negative impacts. Notwithstanding their scale, however, their impacts can similarly be mitigated by the application of good engineering and construction management practices and with close supervision and monitoring of contractor performance.

Component 1: LlA 2 (250 households) and LlA 4 (268 households) who relocated on site; 194 households relocate to the resettlement site; 105 graves should be displaced (LlA 2: 90 graves; LlA 5: 15 graves). Component 2: 110 households relocate to the resettlement site; without displaced graves. Component 3: 20 households relocate to the resettlement site; 132 graves should be displaced. 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 people affected by the Cao Lanh City subproject. According to the resettlement plan of the sub-project, there are 842 relocated households of which 324 are relocating to the resettlement site and 518 are being resettled on-site. The agricultural land acquired by the project is 158,190.17 rn2 (about> 15.8ha) impacting 1491 households, of which 120 affected households losing 20% or more of agricultural land and 17 vulnerable households losing 10% or more of agricultural land, mainly involved in cultivating rice field, crops and fruit trees, etc. Table 4.

Potential Impacts on Physical Cultural Resources (PCR) The Cao Lanh city sub-project will involve relocating 237 graves (90 graves in LIA 2, 15 graves in LIA 5, and 132 graves in resettlement area). Accordingly, detailed measures to protect the PCR resources (see Section 5.1.2) have been prepared as required by the WB's safeguard policy on PCR (OPIBP 4.11). The sub-project will temporarily impact religious and cultural works as follow: Cao Dai pagoda in LIA 9; Minh Buu pagoda in LIA 13 and perennial trees "HANG ME" on Nguyen Thai Hoc road during construction phase. The perennial trees "Hang Me" on Nguyen Thai Hoc road are culturally important to residents in the area. During expansion of the road, it is proposed to distribute remaining trees on sidewalk. Therefore, the impact is considered medium and occurring only during the site clearance and construction. Some sensitive places will be temporary affected also during construction phase. Construction impacts are considered as LOW to MEDIUM since schools are not located next to the road, but separated from construction by a yard, gate and fence. 3.5. Cumulative Impacts Cumulative impacts of the Bank-financed subprojects and other subprojects that will be financed from other sources such as the wastewater treatment system that will be financed by the Norway (NORAD) are expected to be insignificant because of the geographical distance and the types and limited scales of investment activities as well as different timing in implementation with all the associated subprojects/facilities already completed andlor operational by the time the MDR-UUP subproject commences implementation. Linked or Associated Investments A city sewerage and drainage Project is planned with financing from Norway (NORAD). The US$ 23million project is scheduled for completion by the end of 2012. It will include collection systems and a WWTP with 10,000 m3/day capacity. The treatment plant is located in an agricultural land in Ward 3, Cao Lanh City Once completed, 6 of the 14 project LIAs will be able to connect to the new system, and their wastewater will be treated before discharge to the Cao Lanh River. Summary of Environmental Impacts Assessment (EIA) and 29 Environmental Management Plan (EMP) MEKONG DELTA REGION URBAN UPGRADING PROJECT (MDR - UUP) Cao Lanh City sub-project - Dong Thap province The Cao Lanh city sub-project shall construct household connections and channel waste water to the Norway funded centralized WWTP. The treatment plant will service the following areas: Lia 1, Lia 2, Lia 3, Lia 4, Lia 5 and Tran Hung Dao Street for phase 1; and remaining LIAs will connect to WWTP in phase 2. An EIA for the WWTP project was prepared and was reviewed and approved by the Department of Natural Resources and Environment. The EIA was also reviewed by an Environmental Specialist commissioned by the Norwegian Government. Due diligence review of the EIA report for the project was conducted to assess the level of additional impacts resulting from the Cao Lanh city sub-project investment, as well as the adequacy of the EA work carried out for the WWTP. The assessment considered maximum design capacity, discharge of effluents and sludge management during operations, outcomes of public consultation and the EIA approval provided by DONRE. The review indicated the adequacy of the EIA with impacts having been identified with proper mitigating measures proposed and implemented. In particular, the treated sludge will either be used for fertilizing agricultural fields or brought to a landfill for final disposal. The treated wastewater will comply with the Vietnam environmental standards. The review also indicated that, beside positive cumulative impacts, the project is not expected to contribute to negative cumulative impacts as this is expected to be completed and operational by the time the Bank-financed subproject will be implemented. The linkage between the project and the Norway WWTP are likely to create positive impacts, such as the WWTPs receiving and treating wastewater fonn the project. Another associated facility is the Dap Da Landfill in My Tho commune that will receive the dredged materials from Cho and Chua canals and solid wastes that will be generated during the construction of the Cao Lanh City subproject. Dap Da Landfill is an existing landfill that has a total of 12 sanitary landfill sheets in a 7.8 hectare land area. To date, only 1 landfill sheet is filled, which means it has enough capacity to accommodate wastes coming from the project. Due diligence review was conducted for the Dap Da Landfill by the PMU and the consultants. The review indicated that the landfill has an EIA approved by DONRE in 2005. Impacts and mitigating measures were identified, proposed and implemented, including proper collection and treatment of leachate. There is plan to put up additional facilities in the landfill to include leachate treatment plant and gas collection system. Another associated project is a flood prevention embankment project fmanced by Government of Vietnam, which is tmder construction and scheduled for completion by the end of,2012. The completed dyke will connect directly to a new canal embankment to be built by this Project, thereby greatly increasing benefits. This project is implemented by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. An EIA was prepared and was approved by MONRE. A due diligence review of the EIA indicated that impacts were identified and measures proposed and implemented, including disposal of dredged materials to Dap Da Landfill. Cumulative impacts are not expected to be contributed by MDR-UUP subproject as it is expected that the flood prevention dyke of MARD will be completed by the time the MDR-UUP subproject commences implementation. (The detail due diligence review for linked ofassociated projects for MDR-UUP subproject in the Annex 3) Summary of Environmental Impacts Assessment (EIA) and 30 Environ~ental Management Plan (EMP) MEKONG DELTA REGION URBAN UPGRADING PROJECT (MDR - UUP) Cao Lanh City sub-project - Dong Thap province 4 - Mitigation measures 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 of 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 (lEMC). 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 ofthe 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 ofimpacts: - 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 Summary of Environmental Impacts Assessment (EIA) and 31 Environmental Manag~ment Plan (EMP) MEKONG DELTA REGION URBAN UPGRADING PROJECT (MDR - UUP) Cao Lank City sub-project - Dong Tkap province - Chance finds of cultural or archeological artifacts The detailed ECOPs (Annex 1) 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 darns, 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 - Annex 2). Social impacts caused by involuntary resettlement or involving ethnic minorities are addressed in other safeguard instruments. Summary of Environmental Impacts Assessment (EIA) and 32 Environmental Management Plan (E~P) MEKONG DELTA REGION URBAN UPGRADING PROJECT (MDR - UUP) Cao Lanh City sub-project - Dong Thap province 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 in Vietnam related to EIA preparation, environmental standards, protection and management of forests and cultural property, and other aspects related to construction and operation of facilities and infrastructures in Vietnam. This EMP in consistent with these regulations. To facilitate effective implementation of the EMP, the PMU will: (a) Establish an Environment and Social Unit (ESU) responsible for ensuring timely implementation of the EMP, including monitoring, reporting, and capacity building related to safeguards; (b) Assign the Construction Supervision Consultant (CSC) to also 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's terms of reference; and (c) One Independent Environmental Monitoring Consultant (lEMC) is hired by PMU-MOC to assist the ESUs in performing its task. Cao Lanh City Water Supply Company, URENCO, and the Department of Transport will be responsible for implementation of the mitigation measures during the operation stage of the project and they will ensure that the mitigation measures are implemented and adequate budget is provided. The Provincial Steering Committee (PSC) chaired by the Chairman or Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee (PCP) will provide the overall policy guidance and oversight of the project implementation. Roles and responsibilities of the specialized agencies and the Departments of Planning and Investment and Natural Resources and Environment (DONRE) will also be criticaL There are two main parts to this EMP. First 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 will be addressed separately in the EMP. These ECOPs also do not cover impacts (i) from worker camps (camps will not be needed for small and medium urban infrastructure projects), (ii) from large works, such as dams, tunnels, large road and bridge projects (which are not part of this project). Social impacts caused by involuntary resettlement or involving ethnic minorities are addressed in other, social safeguard instruments. The ECOPs cover dredging operations producing relatively small amounts of sludge, whilst very large Summary of Environmental Impacts Assessment (EIA) and 33 , Environmental Management Plan (EMP) MEKONG DELTA REGION URBAN UPGRADING PROJECT (MDR - UUP) Cao Lanh City sub-project - Dong Thap province ~~~------amounts or seriously contaminated sludge would need to be handled through a separate set of procedures outside of the scope of these ECOPs. Activities carried out to mitigate impacts due to land acquisition and resettlements are presented in 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. This includes the PMUs' EMP program, including capacity building and safeguard training; and environmental monitoring. 5.l.Environmental Management Program 5.1.1. Management of impact on project sites Table 5 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 5.

Most family graves are located in low and flooded areas. Thus, one of the most favorable conditions in minimizing impacts in relocating these graves is the positive consensus of affected households. However, the relocation should comply with family expectations according to the planned city reburying procedures at cemetery sites. - To minimize impacts caused by the above mentioned reburying, the grave relocation has been thoroughly consulted with the local communities before preparing the resettlement plan report. Households that have graves fully relocated are specifically consulted and have agreed to the plan of compensation and relocation, where they will be entitled to compensation for self removing grave according to the custom of each family and residential area. The households also expect local authority to assist them in the necessary burying procedures, especially at the new city cemetery.

Its main objective is to check and ensure that (a) the potential negative impacts of the project are minimized; (b) the EMP is effectively implemented; and (c) the EMP is adequate to mitigate the potential negative impacts. Given that monitoring the implementation of the RP will be conducted Summary of Environmental Impacts Assessment (EIA) and 43 Environmental Management Plan (EMP) MEKONG DELTA REGION URBAN UPGRADING PROJECT (MDR - UUP) Cao Lank City sub-project - Dong Tkap province ~~~------separately, the environmental monitoring program will comprise (a) monitoring the safeguards performance of the contractors during site clearance and construction, (b) environmental quality monitoring, (c) monitoring the effectiveness of the EMP. It is essential to design the monitoring program - in conjunction with the selected monitoring locations, parameters and frequencies in such a manner to be able to record both, the overall performance of the project works as well as the short-term impacts due to construction activities. The environmental monitoring program will be implemented during construction at three levels: • Monitoring the level of compliance with mitigation measures, • Monitoring the environmental parameters set out in the EIAs for each of the works, and • Community-based monitoring. Monitoring of Contractor's Safeguard Performance 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 PPMUs. The CSC will include the environmental monitoring results in the monthly project progress reports. - Periodic monitoring: This will be done every six months as part of the overall monitoring of the EMP implementation. The environmental and social unit (ESU) of the PPMUs, assisted by the Independent Environmental Monitoring Consultant (IEMC) will also monitor the contractor performance every six months and the results will be reported to the PPMUs 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 of environmental quality, monitoring of dust, 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, criteria and scope of monitoring that wiII be taken into account in the implementation of the monitoring program: - 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 Summary of Environmental Impacts Assessment (EIA) and 44 Environl.1l.ental Management Plan (EMP) MEKONG DELTA REGION URBAN UPGRADING PROJECT (MDR - UUP) Cao Lanh City suh-project - Dong Thap province residents will be monitored, based on a water quality monitoring plan with specific stations and parameters for monitoring impacts on other water users. - Monitoring the Effectiveness of the EMP: The ESU assisted by JEMC 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 part of the monitoring program that is performed by sampling and testing air, soil I sediment, and water quality, and also measures noise levels and any other pertinent ambient parameters, if needed. 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 forms part of the EMP costs; the costs for sampling and laboratory testing will be included in the CSCs' contracts. 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.

While Cities are responsible for EMP implementation, the PMU-MOC will have a quality assurance and monitoring role including all safeguards aspects. The Cities will submit all safeguards progress and monitoring reports to the PMU-MOC. The MoC will also be responsible for contracting and managing the Independent Environmental Monitoring Consultant (IEMC) who will monitor the environmental performance in all six project cities. The IEMC's costs are therefore part of the MoC budget, and not do not form part of the cities' EMP implementation costs. The figure and subsequent table below summarize the roles and responsibilities of the key parties and their relationships with regard to the implementation of the EMP. The roles and responsibilities of the ESU, PPMUs, CSC, and IEMC are outlined below: • Contractors have the main responsibility for implementing mitigation measures. Those measures will be included in the bidding documents and the costs are to be included in their bids and the construction contracts. • CSC is responsible for supervising and monitoring the day-to-day implementation of mitigation measures. The associated costs are included in CSC service contracts. • IEMC will be responsible for environmental monitoring which includes (i) support to the ESUIPPMU for implementing supervision and monitoring, and (ii) reporting on the implementation through periodic monitoring reports.

PPMUIESU establishes a hotline communication with the local community to be responsive to the complaints, comments, and/or recommendations from local people and the public throughout the site clearance and construction period. 2b Based on quarterly reports of IEMC, PPMU is responsible for preparing periodic reports to submit to the Provincial DONRE. IEMC contracted by PMU-MOC supports PPMUIESU to implement the EMP in line with Government's environmental regulations as well as the WB safeguard policies. 2c In consultation with DONREs, IEMC will establish a specific environmental monitoring program for the project to be implemented by CSC at key locations as shown in the detailed design documents. Contractor: Before construction, with general guideline from IEMC, prepares a site specific environment management plan (SEMP) during site clearance and construction process as part of their construction method statement, then submit it to CSC and/or PPMU for review and approval; During construction, the contractor has to submit a monthly report on safeguard issues, mitigation, and results throughout the 3a construction period. In case of unexpected problem, the contractor will consult CSCIPPMU. PPMUlCSC: Reviews the SEMP and can propose change as deemed necessary to be in line with the contractual obligations as well as appropriate to each specific site. Daily supervision and monitoring of contractor's safeguard performance will be responsibility of the CSC. CSC submits periodic monitoring reports of environmental mitigation measures to PPMU; recommends to the PPMU to suspend, in part or completely, construction work if it does not meet labor safety or environmental protection requirements of the 3b contract. PPMU reviews CSC's periodic reports to monitor compliance with mitigation measures. Community: According to Vietnamese practice, the community has the right and responsibility to routinely monitor environmental performance during construction to ensure that their rights and safety are adequately protected and that the mitigation measures are effectively implemented by contractors andlor PPMU. In case of 3c unexpected problems, they will report to CSCIPPMU and/or call the hotline. PPMU: Encourage, support and create good conditions for local community to participate in the environmental supervision and monitoring activities. PPMU/CSC will review and response to the requests and/or recommendations made by community to ensure that the potential negative impacts are adequately mitigated.

Prepare action plans and/or propose urgent solutions to cope with environmental problems, emergency situations and damage that occurred during construction Recommend to PPMUs to suspend partially or completely construction work if labor safety and environmental protection requirements of the contract are not being complied with. Organize regular discussions with relevant parties, agencies and other stakeholders to provide information about implementation plans to increase people's awareness of the need for environmental protection and management during construction process. Construction Contractor The construction contractor's responsibilities with respect to all aspects of the works, including the environmental aspects, are set out in the contract documents, signed with the PPMU. Construction contractors are responsible for carrying out environmental impact mitigation measures and for complying with the approved EMP when implementing construction contracts. When preparing the "technical method statement", the contractor will study the project's approved EIA report and propose a construction method that includes environmental mitigation and monitoring measures that are in line with the approved EMP. Summary of Environmental Impacts Assessment (EIA) and 54 Environ~ental Management Plan (EMP) MEKONG DELTA REGION URBAN UPGRADING PROJECT (MDR - UUP) Cao Lanh City sub-project - Dong Thap province Contractor's method statement will be submitted to PPMUs and CSC for review, as well as to IEMC, as deemed necessary. Changes, if any, will be evaluated for their feasibility and for legal issues (laws, decrees, circulars and other regulations) before suitable adjustments are approved for specific cases on-site. During the construction work, the construction contractors will be closely supervised by PPMUs, CSC, IEMC, environmental authorities and the local community for their compliance with the EMP. Independent Environmental Monitoring Consultant (IEMC) The JEMC will be responsible for assisting the PPMU with the EMP implementation. This also includes advising the CSC, contractors and communities on environmental compliance, and on carrying out the monitoring program in accordance with regulations, procedures and policies of the Government and the WB, respectively. After the detailed implementation of the environmental monitoring programs was discussed by the city-level PPMU and World Bank supervision staff, the IEMC will be responsible for quarterly checking, and for supporting the PPMU staff to supervise overall project activities to ensure that uniform environmental policies of the Government and World Bank are applied and supervised during project implementation. The IEMC will be responsible for: (1) providing training and capacity building for construction management PPMUIESU staff, including field engineers and/or consultants (CSC), in supervising the EMP implementation by the contractors; (2) ensuring active participation of the local communities and schools in the project areas, (3) monitoring of environmental parameters to assess the overall impacts of the project, and (4) establish the environmental training program that is part of Component 4. Specifically, the IEMe's responsibilities include: Ensuring that the approved EMP and all other relevant project legal agreements related to environmental safeguards are fully applied and complied with during project implementation. Assessing the effectiveness of mitigation measures which are applied by contractors and CSC during project implementation; providing proposals and recommendations to the PPMUs on improvements needed to meet the safeguard requirements. Reporting periodically (every 3 months) to the PPMUs on actual EMP performance during project implementation. - Establishing standard procedures, methods and forms to assist the PPMUs and CSC to assess contractors' progress in implementing the required impact mitigation and monitoring measures. - Assisting the PPMUs' environmental staff to review and check that relevant environmental sections (based on the ECOPs) have been included in the bid packages and construction contract documents to ensure compliance with environmental policies and impact mitigation and monitoring requirements. Measuring, taking samples and monitoring periodically the key environmental parameters, i.e. once every 3 months. - Assistance with the preparation of documents and implementation of training programs in environmental monitoring and supervision for contractors, CSC and relevant staff of the PPMUs (environmental staff and coordinators of contract packages).

Summary of Environmental Impacts Assessment (EIA) and 55 Environmental Manage.ment Plan (EMP) MEKONG DELTA REGION URBAN UPGRADING PROJECT (MDR - UUP) Cao Lanh City sub-project Dong Thap province 5.3.3. Reporting Arrangements The PPMU will prepare reports twice per year for submission to the WB, including a report on compliance with the EMP. The report will contain the monitoring results and assessments by the IEMC that show project progress and the status of implementation of the EMP. The reports will cover, among other matters as appropriate, the following: Contractor's compliance with mitigation measures Wastewater and environmental sanitation issues Existing flooding situation, where relevant - Traffic congestion or disruption Performance of the water supply systems - Quality of wastewater-receiving water bodies - Potential project-related risks and risk management issues Quality of water in rivers and canals (Cao Lanh river, Dinh Trung river, Canal 16, Cho Canal, Cai Sau canal, Cai Da canal) Status of measures to assist project-affected people at the new resettlement sites on environmental aspects Consultation with local communities in key project areas 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 indicates that PPMU staffs have limited knowledge on WB safeguard requirements as well as limited knowledge of environment and social issues. Such lack of capacity represents a risk to project implementation of safeguards requirements contained in the EMP and, as required by the WB policy, is to be addressed through capacity building. Therefore it is proposed to provide capacity building through technical assistance that will support the PMU during the implementation of the safeguards requirements. The technical assistance will provide the necessary technical support the PPMU in its work with contractors as well as other entities involved in the implementation of the EMP. The scope of the technical assistance would cover support from experts and training that would cover both the knowledge on safeguards requirements and procedures for the project as well as training that covers both specific knowledge on safeguard procedures and requirement for the project staff, consultants, and national contractor would be important. This would include, for example, assistance in the preparation of documents and implementation of training program on environmental management and environmental monitoring for contractors, CSC and relevant staffs of PPMU (environmental staffs and coordinators of packages) to do their tasks. It would also include assisting the PPMU's environmental staffs with the review of contract documents on the bidding packages for construction items of the project to ensure compliance with environmental protection policies and impact mitigation Summary of Environmental Impacts Assessment (EIA) and 56 Environmental Management Plan ~MP) MEKONG DELTA REGION URBAN UPGRADING PROJECT(MDR- UUP) Cao Lanh City sub-project - Dong Thap province and monitoring requirements as well as 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 participate in the capacity building in particular in the training activities as appropriate. 5.4.2. Training programs proposed Table below provides examples of the basic trainings 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.

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 detailed DMMP shall be prepared by the contractor in consultation with the PMU and the World Bank prior to commencement of civil works. 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 of the 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 Up to 25,000 3 125,000 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 of the dredged materials. The DMMP 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 digging, Summary of Environmental Impads Assessment (EIA) and 74 Environmental Managemen~ Plan (EMP) MEKONG DELTA REGION URBAN UPGRADING PROJECT (MDR - UUP) Cao Lanll City sub-project - Dong TIlap province etc.), mode of transport to the disposal areas andlor 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 canalllakes. 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 of 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 of dredged 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 andlor compensate for the disturbances. The plan should include all measures necessary to avoid impacts on local transportation and water supply, and access to local residents as much as possible. • IdentifY other water users. In areas where dredging may cause negative impacts to these water users, the respective subproject owner is required to inform/consult them and develop a series of actions to address their concerns, including water quality monitoring in theDMMP.
