Evaluation of the effectiveness of pollution mitigation measures: The mitigation measures proposed in the report based on the Decrees and Circulars have been promulgated to be appropriate and easy to implement.

Mitigation measures for noise and vibration impacts

For noise In the construction area of the project, vehicles such as bulldozers, excavators, concrete mixers, etc. will carry out noise pollution. At the same time, after completion of the works, there will be a period of transportation of the machines and equipment to the project site for assembly for the operation phase. Therefore, there is a need to take measures to reduce noise during this period: - Arrange reasonable working hours, limit the transportation of materials on the traffic lines during peak hours, and transport vehicles must not run at over speed, especially when passing through residential areas or at the break-time. In addition, large noise machines will not operate after 10:00pm. - Regular maintenance of equipment, vehicles, and at the same time do not use vehicles or machines that do not meet environmental standards. - Check the noise level in the construction area to arrange the construction schedule accordingly and reach the noise level allowed. - For noise equipment: design to reduce the noise level of the machine when operating; maintain of equipment regularly and replace degraded components. - Limit the simultaneous operation of devices with high noise levels. - 2 to 2.5 m high embankment to reduce noise, vibration. - Noise protection equipment for workers in high noise areas such as noise-canceling earplugs and noise-canceling earplugs. - Time to transport machinery to the project site for assembly is not long, lasting about 15- 25 days. Therefore, this time will limit the simultaneous transportation of vehicles, arrange reasonable rotation time to ensure the schedule and avoid resonance noise. Evaluation of measures to apply: - Pros: Simple Measures, easy to carry.

Page 242

- Cons: Due to the construction machinery will generate a large amount of noise certain, measures don’t minimize the noise which just can reduce the noise to focus at the same time.

For vibration - Anti vibration at the source: Depending on the specific types of machinery to take remedial measures such as mechanical balancing, the installation of shock absorbers, the use of non-metal materials, replace the principle of gas work compressed by hydraulic, changing working load mode. - Anti-vibration transmission: Use vibration-reducing vibration (oil damper box, elastic pillow, metal elastic buffer, rubber elastic pillow), use of personal anti-vibration device. Evaluation of measures to apply: - Pros: Simple Measures, easy to carry. - Cons: Because of construction machinery are incurred certain vibrations, these measures do not be radically reduced vibration.

Mitigation measures to manage thermal pollution - During the process of construction, construction contractors will build temporary houses and temporary shelters for 500 staff to meet the open standards so that workers can rest and avoid working under the hot sun. - Provide sufficient labor protection equipment for 500 staff: safety helmets, protective clothing, masks, gloves - In addition, the drinking water supply, washing and hand wash for workers will be fully guaranteed by the contractors. - Limiting the concentration of construction vehicles at the same time on the site, minimising heat emission to the surrounding environment.

Assess the feasibility of mitigation measures: Proposed measures are simple and easy to implement.

Mitigation measures at material gathering yards and worker camps Raw materials and fuel of the project such as iron, steel, plastic pipes are located in the temporary storage in the project area, with shelter against rain and wind penetration, avoid damage and metamorphosis in Preservation process.

Some characteristic materials such as macadam and sand re covered with canvas to ensure quality, avoid the dust spread to the surrounding environment.

Particularly for fuel such as gasoline, black oil, diesel oil, most used to buy where to use, limited storage at the works.

Camps, resources, fuel, materials and some equipment during the construction process are collected within the limits of the project, without affecting the surrounding area. The first

Page 243

stage of the assembly area is located at the gateway to the site. When the project has completed a number of items, the assembly location depending on the actual conditions will be changed but it remains in the area of the project.

Raise the awareness of construction workers in ensuring hygiene and working environment. Workers' waste is collected and put in containers, which will be located at the proper place.

Mitigation measures for social security The investor also proposed other measures to reduce the social impact of 500 staff, workers at the site and communities in Truong Xuan commune. Specifically: - Prioritise the use of local labor. For workers who work for projects coming from other localities, they have to make active declaration of temporary stay for local authorities. - Pay attention to the community's comments on the project implementation plan as well as inform the local authorities and people about the project implementation plan. - Maintain good relationships with local authorities and people in the area to be informed and incorporate conflict resolution issues during project implementation. - There is strict discipline for workers when gambling, lottery, stealing. - Ensure environmental sanitation in workers' areas (daily garbage collection, periodic spraying of mosquitoes and mosquitoes every two months, etc.). Timely prevent the detection of infectious diseases.

Mitigation measures to protect ecosystem, landscape and environment During this period, ecosystem impacts are inevitable. To minimize the impact, the investor will take the following measures: - Require construction units to commit to fully and seriously implement measures to collect and treat waste generated by the process of discharging into the environment. - Strictly implement the regulations set out on the site: discharging waste, fire and explosion prevention in accordance with regulations. - Limit the concentration of digging soil and construction wastes on the construction site to avoid the elimination of solid waste into surface water sources. - Arrange reasonable ground plan, ensure the shortest transportation of raw materials and reduce environmental pollution.

Measures to ensure traffic safety During the construction phase, the amount of vehicles transporting materials for the construction process of the project is relatively large. Therefore, to limit possible impacts such as traffic jams in the area, traffic accidents. Investors will take the following measures: - The investor has informed about the project execution plan and construction schedule for people to regulate their traffic. - Arrange staff to signal when there are vehicles entering and leaving the construction area of the project, limiting possible accidents, especially in the entrance area of the project area. - Limit the frequency and density of means of transport during peak hours, at intersections or routes with high traffic density.

Page 244

- Limit the means of concentration at the same time. - Specify the speed of vehicles in accordance with the speed of the project. - In order to minimize possible traffic accidents, transport means such as trucks, road rollers, mortar mixers, etc., there are signposts and warnings for traffic participants and workers. - Drivers and drivers of automobiles and construction machines must be trained in driving licenses and certificates. - Regularly check the maintenance of vehicles. - Install lights, signs, rails and other controls to operate the instructions to reduce traffic jams in the necessary locations. Especially the intersections between lanes need reduced speed signage, signal lights and signage observed before crossing the road.

Measures to mitigate impact during the construction of water supply and drainage system, internal roads, garden, etc. - Organize the construction in accordance with the design and sequence for each item - Complete the drainage system of the project prior to returning the site of the temporary drainage system, and at the same time treat the wastewater before discharging into the drainage system temporarily leading to the drainage ditch of the area. - Avoid construction on rainy day, storm.

Measures to mitigate impacts on existing residential areas - Arrange reasonable working hours, limit the transportation of materials on the traffic lines during peak hours, and transport vehicles must not run over speed, especially when passing through residential areas or at the break-time. - Maintain equipment, vehicles regularly and do not use vehicles or machines that do not meet environmental standards. - Increased use of local manpower to reduce the construction of multiple camps. - Report local authorities, apply for temporary accommodation for workers at construction camps, establish clear and clear internal rules, and organize worker management to avoid affecting the people in neighboring area. - Clear drains, stagnant ponds, kill larva and mosquitoes to prevent disease. - The investor will work closely with local authorities to easily control the security situation in the project area.

5.1.3. Measures for Preventing and Reducing Negative Impacts of the Project in Operation Phase

For dust and emissions from traffic activities When the project comes into operation, the air pollution sources in the project area are dust and noise and from the garbage transportation to the factory. The mitigation measures will be applied as follows: Trees and lawns are located in the surrounding area of the project: factory buildings, offices, car parks and along internal roads to create landscapes and cool space, ensuring the required

Page 245

billion. The green area for the entire project area is expected to account for about 30% of the total area of the project area.

Use of trees with large canopy, large leaves; suitable with the soil conditions in the project is the land with high alum, capable of deodorizing, detoxification. The area of greenery in the project area is about 21,833m2, the number of trees about 1,600 trees. - Regular cleaning of yard, corridor, internal road of the factory. - The entire internal route is plastic and concreted to minimize the impact of dust on the air environment. The width of the main road in the factory area is 7m. The width of the second line is 4m. The width of the transportation line is 16m. The width of the loading and unloading platform is 24m. The road area is 8,366 m2 in plan. - The parking area is arranged appropriately, the parking location of staff working in the factory and the garbage truck are separately allocated.

For vehicles transporting waste into the factory: - Have a reasonable transportation plan. Time to transport waste to the factory expected: 05:00 to 13:00 - Use clean fuel, low emission. - Control the speed and distance between the vehicles in the project area, the maximum speed when entering the factory area is 20km/h.

Arrange installation of ventilation systems of reasonable housing, ensuring open space, minimal response to human activities: - Make the most of the natural ventilation, reasonable orientation. - Hygienic areas: use a forced air intake system with fan.

For emissions from the operation of the backup generator - Considering using fuels with low sulfur content; - Periodic maintenance of generators; - Generators are installed in separate areas, have soundproofing and have exhaust pipes.

For waste incinerator emissions To ensure that the gas meets the required standards, this phase of the project uses the combination of "Nitrogen deodorization in the SNCR + deoxidizing acid by semi-dry method + dry lime spraying + activated carbon adsorption + Dust bag filter" to clean the smoke. Smoke after treatment will meet the environmental protection requirements of the project.

NOx deoxidation system In order to ensure that the NOx concentration in the smoke reaches 200 mg / Nm3, the project uses the SNCR system in the furnace.

NOx formation in garbage incinerators is primarily related to NOx in garbage and incineration temperatures. In nitrogen-containing garbage (mainly nitrogen-containing organic compounds) burned to form, Nitrogen in the air under high temperature reacts with oxygen to form NOx. The above complex process mainly involves the amount of oxygen, temperature and Nitrogen content when burned.

Page 247

Figure 5.6. NOx Deoxidization System

The project can use two methods to reduce NOx content:

1. Through optimized combustion and post-combustion technologies to reduce the amount of NOx generated, keeping the combustion temperature between 850 and 1000 , according to current operating experience can be reduced to below 400mg / Nm3. ℃ 2. Install a NOx SNCR deoxidization (non-catalytic descaling) solution, inject urea solution into the first pipe of the boiler to generate the NOx reducing reaction to N2, which can reduce the NOx content in smoke down to less than 200mg / Nm3. Depending on the initial NOx concentration, SNCR removal efficiency is 30% to 50%.

The SNCR method is sprayed with ammonia, at high temperatures (900 - 1100 ), through the reaction of ammonia liberated from ammonia and NOx, will be reduced to N2, H2O and CO2 reach NOx degradation Target. The principle of reaction is as follows: ℃ 4NO + 4NH3 + O2 →ă4N2 + 6H2O

The basic NOx degradation process in the SNCR system is as follows: 1. Receiving and storing the reducing agent; 2. Amount of reducing agent, diluted with water mixture; 3. Spray the reducing agent into the proper position after dilution; 4. The reducing agent is mixed with the waste gas resulting in the reduction of NOx

Page 248

The SNCR system mainly includes ammonia water storage and reception systems, charging booster systems, injection systems and automatic control systems. Specifically see the picture:

Figure 5.7. SNCR System

Ammonia water is delivered exclusively into the plant, using 25% ammonia pump in a tank, ammonia tank designed to meet the plant's five-day operation. In operation, ammonia water is drawn out by a booster pump, after which the mixture is separated into incinerators, and then sprayed into the furnace by a high-pressure nozzle. There are two booster pumps installed.

Figure 5.8. Two Booster Pumps Additionally Installed

Each of the burners has an injection system; each sprayer is made up of spray guns, spray guns made of stainless steel 304, composed by gun body, nozzle, spray nozzle.

Page 249

Figure 5.9. Spray Gun SNCR

Spray gun SNCR Based on the actual needs of the project, the system uses compressed air to create a foggy, air-sprayed gauntlet that uses a certain speed of air to push the liquid out, thereby achieving a frost-producing effect.

The SNCR control system consists of automatic and manual. When operating automatically, can automatically control the level of solution in the bath tank, automatically adjust the pressure of the pump output, automatically control the compressed air pressure, and automatically regulate the volume flow; automatic control of the NOx content in the boiler flue, when the NOx price is higher than the system setting, will automatically start up and so on.

The control system can fully measure, monitor, operate, automatically control, alert, protect, interlock, and record all NOx deactivators, functional control systems can check trends all the time, historical trends and tables.

Deacidification system Smoke after NOx deoxidization will be directed into the reaction tower with shielding plates. The vortex mist sprayer installed at the center of the tower, sprayed with lime milk sprayed in the same direction as the smoke in the neutral reaction tower. In the tower, the rate of reduction is low, the acid in the smoke and alkaline will have a longer exposure time. Because evaporated water will cool the smoke rapidly, reducing it to a reasonable temperature, thereby improving the efficiency of the reaction. At the same time, a heavy reactant and dust particles will rupture from the bottom of the tower.

Pre-cleaning air before entering the filter bag will pass through the pipe into the charcoal granule, in the filter bag, reactor and activated charcoal adsorbed inside the bag, again reacting the acid not fully reacted to absorb Dioxin and heavy metals. The ash from the dust filter reactor and the neutralization reactor enters the silo through the transfer system by means of a gas transfer device or system.

Page 250

The waste incineration system is usually produced by lime milking systems, semi-dry reaction towers, vortex fogging systems, activated carbon sprays, dust bag filters, and ash transfer systems.

Figure 5.10. Deacidification System

Lime milk production system The lime-milking system is used to prepare, store and transport lime milk for dry semi-dry smoke systems, combining systems from CaO powder transport systems, lime powder silos, lime powder measure device (measured in small silos or weighing electronic balances), NOx tank, lime milk tank, lime pumps, valves and piping.

Under the control of the control system, the lime from the silo enters the metering device, and passes to the NOx gutter for stirring, opening the solenoid valve between the NOx tank and the lime milk tank. Lime milk will flow into the reservoir for backup.

Lime milk can also be made by people: First, put a certain amount of water into the NOx gutter, start the mixer, then pour the necessary amount of lime into the NOx gutter; after stirring, dump into the lime milk tank for backup.

This stage designs a lime silo, on the top of the silo inserts a set of dust filter bag, when the feeder, the filter bag can be automatically started or started manually. Clean the filter bag with compressed air. Silo with lime level sensor: At high level (H), the sensor will send a warning signal to the driver that the tank is full; Silo bottom vibrator ensures that the lime can be rinsed out; When repairing, close the outlet valve of the tank.

Page 251

Concentration of lime milk (20%) in the tank is determined by measuring the amount of spiral discharge (controlled inverter) or water intake.

Lime milk will be circulated to the reaction tower, the flow rate of the lime in the circulation pipeline will be carefully studied so as not to settle and to minimize the abrasion of the pipe. The circulation value of the pump is always greater than the amount of lime used, in order to avoid the change in lime milk consumption, which affects the smallest flow rate. In order to stabilize the balanced fuser pressure, use a control valve to control circulating pipeline pressure. Design of a backup pump, pump and main pipe connected by a soft hose.

Reaction Tower The reactive tower is NOx deoxidization and deacidification in the final smoke of the incinerator, inside the tower, reactor and acid in the smoke reacting to each other. The reaction is mainly: SO2 + Ca(OH)2=CaSO3/CaSO4 + H2O CaSO3 + Ca(OH)2=CaSO4 + 2H2O 2HCl + Ca(OH)2=CaCl2 + 2H2O 2HF + Ca(OH)2=CaF2 + 2H2O

At the same time, water is sprayed into the neutralization tower to evaporate heat, reduce the smoke temperature, make the reaction more powerful, improve the efficiency of smoke cleaning. In addition, it is also possible to reduce the smoke temperature into the filter bag and to control it within the allowed range.

In the reaction tower, it is also possible to remove some heavy metals such as Hg, Pb and Dioxin PCDDS/PCDDFs.

Figure 5.12 Vortex spray mist, Spray nozzle fog and Vortex spray in operation.

Page 253

Smoke passes through a spiral pipe to the top of the reaction tower, dividing plates ensure that the rate of smoke is divided equally into the spray. In the front of the spray nozzle, the guide plate causes the gas to produce a vortex. Thus, the four directions of the mist-disk will be the downward direction of the smoke.

Lime milk and industrial water will be injected into the mist sprayer. On the bottom of the nozzle, there is a special splitter which ensures that the splash water is properly split into the spray nozzle. In the mist disk, lime milk will accelerate by centrifugal force, around the disk will turn into small particles. These tiny particles easily react.

The vortex of smoke is opposite to the direction of the dew, so the two substances are strongly mixed. The smoke from the boiler will be cooled by the water sprayed from the mist spray, and the acid will be neutral in lactic acid. The amount of industrial water depends on the temperature of the smoke, the amount of lime milk that is lime dependent on the pH of the smoke.

The height and diameter of the reaction tower ensure sufficient time and space for the chemical reaction between the water vapor and the lime to be complete. A portion of the heavy substance generated in the reaction will settle to the bottom of the tower, where the transfer device will pass to the treatment device, most of the reactants will follow the smoke passing through the filter bag of the system.

Activated carbon spraying system Activated carbon spraying system is the most effective technique for cleaning heavy metals and dioxins in the treatment of exhaust fumes. Activated carbon is injected into the smoke outlet pipe of the acidification tower, through the venture pipe will be mixed with smoke, in the process of smoke blowing down the filter bag, activated carbon will adsorb the needle heavy (like Hg) and dioxins in smoke. The amount of activated carbon that absorbs dirt will be trapped in the filter bag, separated from the smoke, so heavy metals and dioxin can be separated from the smoke, the amount of activated charcoal in the bag contains contaminants will form filter to continue the process of adsorption of heavy metals and dioxins not exhausted, ensuring smoke emission standards.

Page 254

Figure 5.13 Activated carbon spraying system

Activated carbon spraying system includes tank silos, feeders, venture sprayers and compressed air systems. Activated carbon purchased from outside is stored in silo tank. The storage silo capacity is designed for 5-7 days. At the top of the silo contains dust bag filter, when the dust filter can be operated automatically, it can also be operated manually. Using compressed air is to clean the dust filter. In the bottom of tank silo fitted with activated charcoal flow aid to ensure that the coal can be discharged out, including the flow sheet, the valve and the combined pipe, when opening the valve under the tank to feed, transport system on, otherwise it stops. The top of the tank silo has a pipe connected to the hopper.

Activated carbon from the bottom of the silo tank through the blowing fan forms the gas flow and the venture pipe enters the smokestack. The amount of blowing fan wind must be matched by the activated carbon blown to the middle of the chimney, to ensure a certain rate of blowing, to achieve a uniformly blended effect, and to improve the efficiency of the smoke treatment. In order to accurately control the amount of activated charcoal, the recommendations in the silo are weighed and included with the automatic control system.

High efficiency pocket filter Deacidifier As required in the "Criteria for controlling the incineration of domestic waste," the dust collector of the incineration plant is required to use a dust bag filter. For the treatment of exhaust fumes of incinerators, in combination with dry semi-dry method, desiccant dehumidification technology, dust filters using the corresponding bag dust filter can improve efficiency and also remove a number of heavy metal component and dioxin. Good filter media and advanced filtration technology are required to add advanced dust filter equipment and high efficiency to maximize the best use of it.

Page 255

Figure 5.14 Bag-dust Removal Machine

Working principle and equipment of fabric filter bags Dust bag filters select the type of pulsed filter, remote cleaning, suitable for high temperature; high humidity and corrosive waste discharge, dust removal in exhaust fumes so that exhaust smoke discharged to meet requirements.

This filter bag comes with round cages, hanging cloth bags, filter dust accumulated outside the fabric bag, fabric bags periodically through the compressed air from the clean side into the bag. The dust is blown out into the dust hopper, through the dusting system. Diagram of hygienic fabric bag as shown below:

Figure 5.15 Dust Removal Equipment of Fabric Filter Bags

Page 256

Diagram of hygienic blowing in fabric filter bag In maintenance, it is possible to replace the canvas bag, manually isolate the chamber and replace the damaged canvas bag while the other chambers operate normally. The dust hoppers of fabric filter bags come with a heater, ensuring a sure dust released.

Stacked filter dust bag, shutter device and hot air circulation device, through automatic control system for regulating, in startup state and filter protection fault. Important equipment such as pulse valves, PLCs, filter bags, etc. use imported products, ensuring the reliability of the filter bags to operate normally and efficiently.

Because the filter bags use PTFE filter membrane filter bags, the criteria for dust removal efficiency, residual toxicity of pollutant residues, system energy consumption and bag filter’s longevity achieved advanced world standard.

The dust bag filter consists of the following equipment: dust hopper, cloth bag, cage rack, maintenance line, air outlet per outlet, chimney outlet, Thermal dust hopper, toilet paper bag control and pulse valve. Each dust bag filter is composed of sealed steel enclosures and chamber compartments, each hygienic chamber compartment can be completely isolated from the smoke. The enclosures and compartments are designed to withstand the pressure difference in the largest furnace. Rack structure uses of steel structure.

Figure 5.16 Containing Chamber

Each chamber has an output and input partitions. When a chamber is insulated, it ensures that the dust bag is operating normally. It can also be said that while the filter bag is in operation, it is possible to replace the filter bag in place. For this project there are full doors for inspection and repairing.

The distance between the top of the filter bag and the roof is large enough to handle the replacement of the canvas bag. If necessary, it can be used as a gantry crane for replacement

Page 257

of filter bags. The casing, repair door and electrical fittings on the casing and connection holes ensure the tightness of the filter bag.

In order to achieve a uniform distribution of exhaust emissions, first consider the flow divider in the chimney. To avoid the accumulation of acid or water, the filter bag will be insulated and heated. The thickness of the insulation layer is sufficient to allow the wall temperature to be lower than the dew point. To prevent ash and reaction products in the filter bag, the conveying system and associated equipment are lumps in the storage compartment (hoppers, valves, piping, etc.), the surfaces of which are considered to use the room heat system. Hopper whether the filter bag uses electric heater.

During calibration, the hopper must always be dried in order to prevent condensation. Because once the condensed liquid is generated, it will affect the dust removal efficiency. Installation of grinding equipment above the dust hopper, which is located outside the dust hopper, is an eternal device. When the dust removal machine is in operation, the device can be operated from the floor below the dust hopper. Below the hopper there are conveyor and rotary valve. Calculations based on ensuring smoke emissions are evenly distributed on the surface of the filter bag.

Dust bag filters include racks and accessories, designed to ensure efficient cleaning of the smoke, and long service life. Sanitary system is a superior design to ensure the high efficiency of the filter, reduce pressure, increase longevity. Cleaning the filter bag (using compressed air pulsation system) will use the meter of the compressor. The characteristics of the air compressor meet the internal filtration is not clogged or lumps.

Figure 5.17 Fabric Bags Filter

Fabric bag filter has the following stand out features

Page 258

(1) Using low-pressure air to heat up the air, blowing dust using compressed air with a pressure of 0.25-0.35MPa, reducing the wear of filter bag, improve the life of the filter bag. (2) Appropriately handling for high dust concentration up to 10g/Nm3, high dust removal efficiency, can reach over 99.9%, concentration of dust discharged after the first layer through clean filter bag can reach less than 10mg / Nm3 (3) The operating resistance is stable, there is no increasing status due to prolonged operation. (4) Use of pure PTFE knitted filter bag, can withstand temperatures up to 260 , very acid resistant and anti-oxidant properties; (5) High filter life, possibly over 4 years; ℃ (6) Reliable, stable operation to ensure that emissions meet standards; (7) Local or remote dust cleaners can be used, with low compression air.

Layout smoke cleaning system: Smoke removal systems are located behind the waste heat recovery boiler, which is the reaction tower, bag dust collector, ventilator and chimney, respectively. Reaction towers, bag dust disposing machines, air distribution fans are housed inside. Lime storage, activated carbon storage is located near the main factory area.

Figure 5.18 Smoke Cleaning System

Onsite smoke monitoring system Smoke detectors are controlled by an on-site industrial computer, with spot smoke detectors 2 installed, SO , NOx, HCl, HF, CO, NH3, powder dust and smoke flow meters as well as other monitoring signals are sent to the central control room via sensors, displayed on the computer. Use the device import, each one of the assembly output assemblers in a placeholder, cannot execute the network manager with protective environment of the guard policy.

At the same time, publicize the results of on-site smoke monitoring and receive public and social monitoring.

Monitoring of this system includes: SO2, NOx, HCl, HF, CO, CO2, powder dust, O2, H2O, NH3, smoke flow, smoke temperature and smoke pressure.

Page 259

Figure 5.19 Smoke Monitoring System

Smoke exhaust ventilation system The production line of the project is equipped with a fan, which directs the smoke from the outlet of the bag filter into the environment.

Due to the large amount of fluctuations in the combustion smoke, it is recommended to install additional speed regulator for the blower to accommodate the load change requirement, an inverter speed regulator should be installed. Smoke after being processed meets the requirements of the wind turbine to exhaust the environment through the chimney 80m of height.

The waste incineration plant has a multi-layered chimney, composed of internal steel exhaust pipes and external protective concrete walls, which do not affect smoke emissions so that we only need to stall smoke sampling points at the smoke exits.

The maintenance of the chimney is quite simple and convenient, when conducting inspection and maintenance of a chimney will not affect the operation of the other chimneys. This project has a scale of 400t/day, so it is necessary to build a multi-use chimney.

For stench, smell The loading and unloading platform are equipped with washing facilities, washing water and domestic waste water collected together for biochemical treatment. Water leaks are collected together, and the dust collector is equipped with a flushing device to release toxic gases and odorless gases into the garbage dump. Gas screens are set up at the entrance / exit of the loading and unloading platform to prevent the strange smell coming out of the pit. Gate level of ± 0.00m (± 0.00m layer gate) of the hole in the hopper using a closed gate. When the whole plant stops working, activated carbon adsorption deodorizing equipment is used to remove the effect of strange odor on the surrounding environment. Conveyors of the pre-treatment plant are all closed; at the place where odors are generated, additional suction screens and exhaust fans are installed to absorb odors into the rubbish dump.

Page 260

In addition, to minimize the odor spreading as the truck transports garbage into the pit, the project owner has a policy of foul odor isolation as follows: - The garbage truck is a fully enclosed vehicle with an automatic loading and unloading mechanism used to prevent the smell of leaks from the waste trucks and their leaks. After the garbage truck gets into the plant, it will be sprayed and rinsed before moving out of the plant to minimize the odor of the garbage that remains in the vehicle. - Isolate the production area with housing in the layout of the general factory area in the local mainstream direction, thus minimizing the effects of bad odor. - Garbage collector is a closed structure. The smell in the pit is connected through a PVC pipe and using fan blows into the furnace. - The garbage compartment is regularly irrigated with deodorant.

Measures to mitigate water environmental impacts Water supply and drainage systems are designed to comply with current standards and standards and ensure the requirements of modern infrastructure and quality. When the project comes into operation, the water used is the clean water source of the area. - Waste water is treated before being discharged into the general drainage system of the area. - Sewer and race design flow through all categories of plant.

Domestic wastewater The drainage system is designed as follows:

Wastewater from Wastewater from toilets (drainage pits, the kitchen

urinals)

Septic tank Grease separator

Wastewater treatment system

Reuse circulation

Page 261

Figure 5.20 Wastewater Collection Process

Wastewater from the toilet (pit, urinal pit): The entire wastewater from the latrine will be drained under the pipeline to the septic tanks for treatment. Wastewater from employees' kitchen is led through oil separator for preliminary treatment. After being preliminarily treated, the wastewater treatment system of the project will be transferred to TCVN 14: 2008 / BTNMT and QCVN 08- MT:2015/BTNMT before being discharged into the environment or reuse for planting.

Principles of operation of septic tank: A septic tank is a facility that simultaneously performs two functions: sedimentation and sediment deposition. At the reaction compartment, anaerobic microorganisms dissolve organic substances in waste water into inorganic simple substances and gases (CO, CH4, H2S, NH3).

Wastewater through the settling tank 1 will continue through the settling tanks 2 and 3 before discharging, ensuring high treatment efficiency.

- Structure of 3 compartments - septic tanks in which each of the compartments occupies the following ratio: The first compartment occupies 50%, the second compartment and the third compartment are equal and account for 25% of the total tank volume.

- In order to maintain the efficiency of the septic tank, the septic tank should be separated periodically with the frequency of 6 months / once regularly supplemented Biox with the frequency of 2 months / time increasing the efficiency of domestic waste water treatment.

Compartment 1: Compartment 2: Compartment 3: Treated wastewater Domestic - Conditioning - Sedimentation - Deposition is led into wastewater - Sedimentation - Biodegradable the waste - Biodegradable leachate treatment system

The location and number of toilets will be designed in accordance with the project, facilitating the life and work of the factory workers.

Process of Wastewater Treatment Technology

Page 262

Figure 5.22 Process Technology for Domestic Wastewater Treatment

1) Conditioning tank All domestic waste water is collected concentrated in the conditioning tank. In the conditioning tank, the air blower will provide air and uniformly mix the air throughout the tank area, preventing sedimentation in the tank producing an unpleasant odor, while also regulating the flow and concentration of input waste water. Waste water after conditioning will be pumped into the aerobic biological tank.

2) Anaerobic tank In the anaerobic tank, heterotrophic microorganisms operating in the discretionary environment transform N according to the equation: NH3→ăNO3→ăNO2→ăNOă→ăN2Oă→ăN2

After bioremediation in anaerobic tank, the nitrogen components are converted to N2 released into the air. Wastewater in anaerobic tank will flow into aerobic tank.

3) Aerobic tank In aerobic tank, aerobic microorganisms use dissolved oxygen to break down and convert organic matter into wastewater into biomass, CO2 and water. Microorganisms are grouped

Page 263

together in the form of activated sludge. Dissolved oxygen is supplied from the air blower through the air distribution system. When the source of dissolved oxygen is ensured, the biological oxidation of pollutants and the nitrification process take place. The resulting water is cleaned and the microbial biomass increases.

The process of decomposition of organic matter in aerobic pools consists of the following processes: - Oxidizing organic matter: CxHyOz + O2 => CO2 + H2O + Q - Synthesizing new cell: CxHyOz + NH3 + O2 => CO2 + H2O + Q - Intracellular degradation: C5H7NO2 + 5O2 => 5CO2 + 5 H2O + NH3 ± Q 3- - C5H7PO2 + 5O2 => 5CO2 + 5 H2O + PO4 ± Q

Organic compounds containing phosphorus, nitrogen (NH4+) due to the intracellular decomposition of microorganisms, microbial cell biomass, living cells and dead cells in the sludge.

For nitrogen content, due to the hydrolysis of bacterial enzymes and assimilation denitrozination, part of the nitrogen content is degradated by aerobic microorganisms, producing NO3, NO2, O2 escaping into the air.

The conditioning tank and the aerobic tank have 60mm-diameter ventilator. The location of the ventilator is at the appropriate location during the construction of the tank.

4) Precipitating tank The aim of the precipitating tank is separating the microbial biomass (sludge) present in the wastewater stream after aerobic tank. Wastewater will be distributed to the lamination tube for sludge discharge. The amount of sludge discharged in the reservoir will be collected periodically.

Wastewater from sedimentation tanks before being discharged into the environment is chlorinated to sterilize to ensure that recirculation water is used to irrigate the plants.

Waste Leachate Leachate treatment process: Water leaks after filtration into the regulating tank, using the pump in the settling tank where added condensate and condensation aids, make the solids and colloids in the rubbish bind together, the leaked water after the condensation will flow into the settling tank longitudinal sedimentation. Leachate water through pre-treatment, into the superheated tank conducting heat-up, then continues into the tank of air to remove most of the organic matter, water after entering the oxygen tank is fed into the O/A system, first into tank A, under anaerobic condition, microorganisms use organic coal in wastewater to convert nitrate to nitrogen gas.Then the wastewater through the stream is pushed into the tank O, under aerobic condition, the remaining organic substance continues to decompose, at the

Page 264

same time microorganisms conduct oxidation of nitrite - ammonia nitrate to nitrate, back to tank A to separate nitrogen. Water from the O/A system continues into the ultrafiltration membrane to eliminate COD, and other suspended substances. The water after the ultrafiltration process into the chemical softening system, the reverse osmosis system, to filter suspended solids, resolved solids, water hardness, color of water, nitrogen, ammonia, ion chlorine and other indicators. Water after treatment complies the QCVN 40: 2011/BTNMT- National technical regulation on industrial waste and transfer to used for cooling tower the project does not release waste into environment.

Sludge treatment system: Leachate after settling and condensation, will produce sludge, sludge is pumped to cassava tank treatment, in the process of decomposition in the anaerobic tank and aerobic tank will produce large amount of activated sludge; through the centrifugal pump will go to the muddy condensing pond, the mud after condensed, it will be pumped to the water separator will proceed to separate the water and sludge after the separation of water will be transferred to the incinerator.

Stench treatment system: this project uses deodorization method is system pretreatment, sludge treatment system uses a closed design, then through the wind turbines collect the odor to the garbage dump; in the next through the wind blower to the treatment furnace.

Utilization of concentrated water after reverse osmosis (RO) : Concentrated water is use for absorption, recovery, reuse, water addition for slag regrinders, ash stabilization, preparation of lime milk, reduction of exhaust gas temperature of the reaction tower.

Figure 5.23 Waste Leachate Treatment Process

Smell gas treatment system The leachate process, the source of the gas produced mainly from wastewater treatment systems and sludge treatment systems. The exhaust gas in the wastewater treatment system

Page 267

is mainly distributed in the waste screen, the regulation tank, the denitrification etc, the air in the sludge treatment system is mainly distributed in the mud tank, the water and mud tank and the place mud pile, transport out to the outside. Collected air, exhausted by the exhaust fan through the ventilation duct to the negative pressure zone of the final garbage to the incinerator and combustion treatment. When the overhaul operates, the use of equipment prevents exhaust gas, handle air and escape, avoid pollution of the gas. Feasibility: High, project owners can apply

Overflow rainwater As the garbage receiving and storage area is located within the main plant site, rainwater overflowing from outside of the plant into the garbage should be prevented.

The rainwater drainage system is designed separately from waste water drainage system and is collected by centrifugal concrete drainage system (D=400-600) along the pavements of the road. Slope direction, slope of rainwater drainage system is designed according to traffic system.

The water from the surface of the road is collected through the pit system arranged along the roads with the prescribed distance.

After the rain water is collected into the main sewer, it is drained out of the factory, leading to the rainwater drainage system of the planning area and the last receiving point of rainwater is Lo Ren canal. Feasibility: High efficiency, the investor can apply.

Measures to manage and treat solid waste: For fly ash Fly ash produced by the project includes: Substances produced from the acidic depletion reaction collected from the bottom of the reaction tower and the coarse dust particles in the exhaust fumes, and dust in the smoke are collected from the dust bag filter.

Fly ash under the reaction tower and fly ash from the ash hopper of the dust filter are respectively pumped using gas to transfer silo to the storage dust. Silo contains solid intermediate solid-state design, after the solidified fly ash will be brought out of landfill.

The fly ash of the project is composed of three components: the bottom of the furnace exhaust duct, the ash tower reaction and dust discharging device. The dusty bottom of the conveyor belt was fed to the centrifuge, discharged to the bottom of the furnace, and to the bottom of the slag mixture, which was then discharged into the slurry tank.

Page 268

The fly ash of the semi-dry absorption tower and the dust bag ash filter bag, using the engine system to store the fly ash storage in the plant, then use the air shot pump to put into solidification to carry out solid chemical treatment.

In the short term, solid ash handling technology of fly ash is often used to dissolve solid, solid cement technology, chemical stabilization techniques - chemical treatment techniques of wet form and solidification of cement stabilizer.

The technique of stabilizing fly ash, which this project uses is a mixture of chemical chelating - the substance that makes heavy metal ions in the fly ash stay clamped, finally immobilization of solid objects is formed. Stabilized solids that meet the criteria will be brought to landfills as hazardous waste, estimated to be buried in solid waste disposal area in Thi Lai district of 60.2 hectares.

Technology process for treating fly ash solidification:

Figure 5.24 Technology process for treating fly ash solidification

For slag The bottom slag is discharged after being discharged and fed to the cooling gutter, as the conveyor moves to the slag pit and is dredged onto the truck to be discharged outside the plant for processing. Garbage passes through the relatively small burner slot through the belt conveyor to the slag pit.

Page 269

Figure 5.25 Slag Removal System Equipment

Choice of slag removal system equipment (1) Slag discharge machine The tightness between the slag and the bottom of the furnace is quite high performance. It is beneficial to improve the efficiency of the boiler. There are also advantages such as water savings, reliable operation, maintenance and repair. (2) Conveyor taking excess ash The conveyor is installed under the boiler grate. Some unburden matter will be moved to the slag pit. (3) Slag pit On the construction side digging a slag pit, to ensure the storage of the project waste from 3 ~ 5 days. In the slag pit, a lifting crane is installed.

Figure 5.26 Slag Pit

General Waste

Page 270

Solid waste from daily activities of employees in the office and from the canteen mainly disposable food, plastic cans, plastic bottles, plastic bags, paper from the office area will be collected and stored in a 120-liter-capacity trash can be arranged in the cafeteria, office space will be arranged 3 trash of 5-10-litercapacity. Every day, the factory's sanitary staff will transport all of the garbage generated during the day to the waste storage area along with the garbage being shipped to the plant's burning plant for processing. Remember that this rubbish must be classified and contain no hazardous waste. Feasibility: High, project owners can apply

Hazardous waste Hazardous waste generated from the plant is very little, and the plant does not have the function of treating hazardous waste. As a result, hazardous waste generated when the project is put into operation will be collected and classified separately; there is a sticker for each kind of waste and stored in a separate warehouse with a roof, a spillway, concrete pavement and the contractor will sign a contract with the collector with the transportation function to transfer and dealt with in accordance with the law.

The technical regulations on hazardous waste storage areas are complied with Circular No. 36/2015/TT-BTNMT on hazardous waste management. The floor area of the hazardous waste storage area shall be tight and shall not penetrate and prevent rainwater from flowing in from outside. Covered with sun and rain cover for the entire hazardous waste retention area, the storage area is designed to restrict the wind directly inside. To apply isolation measures to other types or groups of hazardous waste having the capability to react chemically together. The hazardous waste storage area is guaranteed to be free from overflow of liquids when leakage or spillage occurs.

The hazardous waste storage area is equipped with the following equipment: - Fire prevention and firefighting equipment under the guidance of competent fire prevention and firefighting agencies according to the law on fire prevention and fighting. Absorbent materials (eg dry sand or sawdust) and shovels for use in the event of leakage, spillage, or liquid splashes. - Signs warning and prevention in accordance with hazardous waste type are kept according to TCVN 6707: 2009. - Activated carbon will be incorporated into the fly ash solidification system and treated as hazardous waste.

Measures to minimize noise and vibration impacts The noise source of the project mainly comes from equipment such as steam turbine generators, boiler systems, fans, water pumps, and waste transportation vehicles.

Measures to minimize noise when the project goes into operation: - Inspection and maintenance of machinery and equipment periodically.

Page 271

- Set silencers, apply the necessary acoustic absorption materials, use doors and soundproof windows for control rooms and operating rooms, in addition, separate them, handle vibration reduction of background equipment, etc. - Arrange suitable production to limit resonance noise, limiting noise increase. - Install noise barriers below each machine to reduce noise and vibration. - Equipped earplugs for employees working in high noise areas. -Planting trees in the factory area to isolate the production area of the factory with the surrounding areas. Large and high isolation belt. - For vehicles transporting in and out of the factory, it must be inspected and maintained periodically and the maximum speed for vehicles entering and leaving the factory is 20km/h. - Air-cooled devices are set up outdoors and have high noise levels, so low-noise, low-noise cooling fans are used to reduce the noise intensity. The noise wall is set up on the air cooling island platform.

Excess heat reduction measures - Installation of ventilation in the factory area. - The roof is used to shield the sun and prevent solar radiation inside the factory. - The factory is built high and has large windows to take advantage of natural ventilation. - Make sure you plant trees around the factory. - Use air conditioner for office area. - Equipped with exhaust fans on the factory walls to create artificial winds, enhance the exchange of artificial wind, and exchange air inside the factory and outside. - Labor protection equipment for workers.

5.2. Measures for Management, Prevention and Control of Incidents

5.2.1. Measures to Manage, Prevent and Control of Incidents During the Construction Phase

Labour safety measures Disseminating and strictly obeying regulations on occupational safety regulations for 500 staff, workers and people in the area such as: - Placing signs of instruction to the vehicle to the site. - There are regular staff on occupational safety inspection. - Construction execution in the night must have sufficient light. - Temporary power transmission lines in the site are inspected most frequently during construction in the rainy season.

Measures to reduce fire incident - To provide fire prevention and response equipment (fire hydrants, sponges, sandbags, respirators).

Page 272

- To coordinate with Fire Prevention, Fighting and Rescue Policy Department during the appraisal and approval of fire prevention and control plans. - To coordinate with fire police officers on fire safety training for construction workers. - Grease, flammable items are concentrated in sealed containers and placed away from construction vehicles and machinery. - The machines and equipment for work at temperature and pressure shall be managed through the curricula vitae, which shall be periodically inspected and registered at the State functional agencies. - Issuing regulations prohibiting workers from smoking, not to ignite in areas where there is a fire. - Investors will develop prevention plans when problems occur. When there is a fire incident in the project area, it is necessary to use the existing fire protection equipment at the construction site and promptly inform the functional agency (local fire brigade) for treatment measures.

Disaster mitigation measures - To arrange appropriate construction plans to limit the construction of works related to excavation and embankment in rainy season. - To enhance the updating and monitoring of weather events to organize the construction. - To limit impacts from natural disasters, construction items need to ensure proper construction techniques and procedures. - Construction on schedule, not to delay in construction. - When floods cause flooding in the project area, the investor will arrange pumps to drain water into nearby drainage ditches to prevent local inundation resulting in damage to the neighboring works and works have been under construction.

Measures to minimise the occurrence of subsidence of works Anti-subsidence and landslide for the project was of particular interest to the investor during the design process. Because each time occurs subsidence, landslide will cause great damage to investors and neighboring households in terms of economic and human life. Investors take measures to minimise subsidence by strengthening the foundation. Works will calculate high safety factor, in accordance with Ministry of Construction.

Landslides can occur in the rainy season and cause sedimentation and pollution of canals in the surrounding area. To minimize landslides, construction contractors will take the following measures: - Transport the mud as soon as it is dug up. - Soil piles will be compacted in temporary waste disposal sites. - Compaction of road bed (by compactors, rollers) will be done as soon as soil, sand, stonnee is transported and poured into embankment.

To ensure the safety of the works, monitoring, design and geological survey of the area is important. Investors will base on the geology as well as the work volume to make suitable

CHAPTER 7: GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM

The project utilizes two parallel GRM, its own for complaints brought directly to Everbright Can Tho and the government’s for complaints directed by Everbright Can Tho to the government or complaints brought directly to government. The government’s GRM was established based on Complaint Law No. 2/2011/QH13 and Decree No.75/2011/ND-CP guiding implementation of the complaint law as follows:

First Stage: Ward Peoples’ Committee (WPC) - An aggrieved AP may lodge his/her complaint to any member of the WPC, either through residential groups or directly to the WPC, in writing or verbally. It is incumbent upon heads of residential groups to notify the WPC about the complaint. The WPC will meet personally with the aggrieved affected household and will have 30 days and maximum of 45 days following the lodging of the complaint, depending on complicated case or distance, to resolve it. The WPC secretariat is responsible for documenting and keeping file of all complaints that it handles.

Second Stage: District People’s Committee (DPC) - If after 30 days or 45 days (depending on complicated cases) the aggrieved affected household does not hear from the WPC, or if the affected household is not satisfied with the decision taken on his/her complaint, the affected household may bring the case, either in writing or verbally, to any member of DPC or the District Compensation Assistance and Resettlement Committee (DCARC). The DPC in turn will have 30 days or maximum of 70 days following the lodging of the complaint, depending on complicated case, to resolve the case. The DPC is responsible for documenting and keeping files of all complaints that it handles and will inform the DCARC of any determination made and the DCARC is responsible for supporting DPC to resolve AH’s complaint. The DPC must ensure their decision is notified to the complainant.

Third Stage: City People’s Committee (PPC) - If after 30 days to 45 days the aggrieved AP does not hear from the DPC, or if the affected household is not satisfied with the decision taken on his/her complaint, the affected household may bring the case, either in writing or verbally, to any member of the City’s PC. The City’s PC has 45 days or maximum of 70 days, depending on complicated case, to resolve the complaint to the satisfaction of all concerned. The City’s PC secretariat is also responsible for documenting and keeping file of all complaints that it handles.

Final Stage: People’s Court - If after 30 days following the lodging of the complaint with the PPC, the aggrieved AP does not hear from the City’s PC, or if he/she is not satisfied with the decision taken on his/her complaint, the complainant can appeal again to the City’s PC. If the complainant is not satisfied with the second decision of the City’s PC, the case may be brought to a court of law for adjudication. If the court rules in favor of the complainant, then City’s PC will have to increase the compensation at a level to be decided by the court. In case the court will rule in favor of City’s PC, then the complainant will receive compensation approved by City’s PC.

Page 295

Where complaints about administrative decisions or administrative acts regarding land management are settled for the first time by the presidents of the People's Committees of rural districts, urban districts, provincial capitals or provincial towns, but the complainants disagree with the settlement decisions, they are entitled to initiate lawsuits at people's courts or continue to complain with presidents of the provincial/municipal People's Committees. Since Can Tho City is municipality, when complaining with municipal People's Committee presidents, the decisions of the municipal People's Committee presidents shall be the final ones (According to Clause 3, Article 203, Land Law 2013).

The Everbright Can Tho’s GRM is developed based on China Everbright’s ESMS – Grievance and Redress Mechanism (EB-ESMS-06), which was officially implemented since 30 June 2017.

China Everbright has established the GRM system through all the stages of the project, beginning with the design stage and continuing through the construction and operation of the subproject, until the end of project life. The procedures for GRM are outlined in Figure 7.1.

8.1.3. Site Visits to Everbright China’s Facilities

In order to deepen the understanding of the Thi Lai government and residents around Can Tho Waste-to-Energy Project site, from March 20 to 24, 2017, 8 residents around the project site visited Everbright International Wujiang project and Boluo project. The delegation of local residents (Appendix J) highly recognised the operation level, construction level and environmental protection concept of Everbright International Waste- to-Energy Project, and supported Can Tho project building in Thi Lai County.

Wujiang project is the national AAA-rated waste-to-energy project in Jiangsu province, the PRC with a total designed daily waste processing capacity of 1,500 tonnes. Boluo project is located in Guangdong province, the PRC, which is also awarded as the national AAA- rated waste-to-energy project with a designed daily waste processing capacity of 1,050 tonnes. The technology being used in these two projects will be also applied to the Can Tho project. In addition, the weather conditions of Boluo and Can Tho is similar. Therefore, Wujiang and Boluo projects were selected as the destinations of the site visits.

CHAPTER 9: CONCLUSION

The proposed project will help meet surging demand for proper waste treatment and reduce waste pollution in the city, extend lifespan of the existing landfills, convert waste into electricity, promote reliable energy and recycling.

No critical habitats were identified in the areas up to 1km from the boundary of the project area. Of the flora species recorded, most are agricutrual, economical or ornamental species common across the area. All the fauna identified are common species in the area. No species of conservation interest were found.

Major impacts of construction of WTE plant identified included i) dust, noise and vibration impacts due to excavation works; ii) domestic wastewater and general waste generated by construction workers; iii) dust and exhaust gases emissions from activities of storing, loading, unloading, and transportation of construction materials; iv) exhaust emissions, noise and vibration due to combustion of construction machinery; and v) hazardous waste involved during the maintenance activities for machinery and vehicles, while key impacts during construction of transmission line identified included: vi) impacts on farmland and orchard due to the construction of pole foundation, vii) air and noise pollution from excavation works, vehicles and other construction activities, viii) generation of household, construction and hazardous waste, and ix) occupation and community health and safety.

Major impacts associated with the operation of the WTE facilities and transmission line included i) generation of solid waste and hazardous waste; ii) domestic wastewater from latrines; iii) generation of waste leachate; iv) dust and emissions arising from internal traffic; v) exhausts emissions generated from the operation of back-up generators and running of vehicles using gasoline; and vi) generation of fly ash, and vii) health and safety impacts on workers and the public.

The project EMPs in Chapter 6 and Appendix G describe the recommended measures to avoid, minimise and mitigate the abovementioned potential impacts arising from the construction and operation phases. Land acquisition, compensation and assistance process as well as community consultation were complied with the prevailing national laws and regulations. Two parallel GRM will be implemented for this project.

According to the information and data presented in this ESIA report, it is expected that the potential environmental impacts and disturbance of the project will be minimised to within the standards as stipulated in this ESIA if the proposed mitigation measures and good practices will be fully and effectively implemented.

1. METHODOLOGY OF THE SURVEYS

1.1 Legal Documents and Standards

1.1.1 Legal Documents

Location: The canal which connected Ba Dam River, Truong Xuan Commune, Thoi Lai District, Can Tho City where the Can Tho Waste-to-Energy Project located.

Sampling sites: 4 sampling points: i) 500 meters downstream of the project’s discharge point (Point 1), ii) discharge point of the project (Point 2), iii) water pumping point of the project (Point 3), and iv) 500 meters upstream of the water pumping point (Point 4).

Contents of the surveys: Phytoplankton, zooplankton and benthos

Methodology: i) Phytoplankton to be sampled vertically using a plankton net of approximately 20-60 micron size; ii) Zooplankton, fish roes, and larva: to be sampled vertically using plankton nets of approximately 100-200 micron size for zooplankton and 300 micron size for fish roe and larva; iii) Benthos to be sampled using Ekman Grab. The qualitative samples of phytoplankton and zooplankton were collected by drawing the nets under water at the sampling points. The concentrated samples were then stored in 110 mL bottles and fixed with formalin of 4-6%. The quantitative samples of phytoplankton were collected by using the settling method in which water was taken at different points in the pond into 20L buckets and then mixed well before taking a subsample into a 1L bottle. Every sample was fixed with formalin of 4-6%. The quantitative samples of zooplankton were collected by using a filtering method in which 5 buckets of 20L of water taken were poured through the zooplankton net to be concentrated in a 110mL bottle. Then the sample was fixed with formalin of 4-6%. In the laboratory, phytoplankton and zooplankton qualitative samples analysis was done by pipetting 0.1 mL of the settled material in the bottom of the sample bottle to the slide, and doing observation under the microscope at magnification of 40x, 100x and 400x depending on sizes and characteristics of each species; the plankton species were identified based on the available taxonomic key (Shirota, 1966). Zooplankton species were identified based on available taxonomic keys (Shirota, 1966; Boltovskoy, 1999; Khoi, 2001). These actions were repeated until no more new species were observed. During analysing, the occurrence of each species was also recorded according to the study of Scheffer and Robinson (1939), where: >60%: +++ (high); 30- 60%: ++ (medium); <30%: + (low).

Phytoplankton quantitative sample analysis in which densities of algae were determined by using Sedgewick-Rafter counting cells. Before counting, the sample was shaken carefully; then 1 mL of sample was transferred to the counting chamber. Then the number of algae

Page 316

according to their phylum (Bacillariophyta, Dinophyta, Chlorophyta, Cyanophyta, and Euglenophyta) was recorded. A total of 180 cells were done by repeating the processes three times. The density of each phylum was determined by the formula below: 3 Y = T * Vc* 1000 * 10 N * Vs Where: Y: Density (Cells/L). T: Number of counted algae by phylum Vc: Volume after concentrating (mL) N: Number of counted cells (180 cells) Vs: Volume of sample (mL)

Zooplankton quantitative sample was analyzed similarly to the phytoplankton quantitative sample analysis. The densities of zooplankton groups (rotifers, copepods, protozoans, etc.) were also determined by using the Sedgewick-Rafter counting cells to count the number of animals under the microscope at the magnification of 10x. The density of each group was determined by the formulation below:

6 P = T * Vc* 1000* 10 N * Vs Where: P: Density (individuals/m3). T: Number of counted individuals by their group Vc: Volume after concentrating (mL) N: Number of counted cells (180 cells) Vs: Volume of sample (mL)

For zoobenthos the quantitative and qualitative samples were collected in the same sample by using the Petersen grab (0.03 m2). After taken, the mud was screened through a sieve with the mesh size of 0.5 mm to remove mud and unwanted matters. The samples were then stored in the plastic bag with formaline 8-10%. In the laboratory, the benthic samples were cleaned again. Then all of the animals were picked out for counting and identifying under the microscopy. During analysing, the occurrence of each species was also recorded according to the study of Moretti and Calisto (2005), where: >101 individuals: +++ (high); 11 – 100 individuals: ++ (medium); 1 – 10 individuals: + (low). The density of each group was determined by the formulation below: D = X/S Where: D: Density (individuals per m2). X: Number of counted individuals by their group S: Sampling area (m2)

Page 317

Fish species composition was identified by using the references of Nelson (2006), Truong Thu Khoa and Tran Thi Thu Huong (1993), Rainboth (1996), Tran et al. (2013), and Froese & Pauly (2019).

2. DATA AND RESULTS OF THE SURVEYS

2.1 2.1. Phytoplankton

2.1.1 Composition of phytoplankton

A total of 40 species, representing four divisions of algae (Bacillariophyta (or Diatom), Chlorophyta, Cyanophyta, and Euglenophyta), were identified from 4 locations in the branch of Ba Dam river. The number of algae species ranged from 27 to 36 during high tide and low tide at 4 locations. Overall, the phytoplankton composition was not difference between four locations. Euglenophyta was the most abundance group in this river. The most commonly observed genera were Euglena, Phacus, Strombomonas, and Trachelomonas belonging to the group of Euglenophyta; Anabaena, Oscillatoria, and Sprirulina belonging to the group of Cyanobacteria; Cyclotella and Melosira belong to group of Bacillariophyta; and Coelosphaerium, Scenedesmus, Pandorina, Pediastrum, and Tetraedron belonging to the group of Chlorophyta. The detail species name and sampling locations are showing in the table below.

2.1.2. Denstiy of phyoplankton

Page 319

The result analysis showed that Euglenophyta was the most contribution to the total density of phytoplankton in this river. And the phytoplankton densities in four sampling locations at both low tide and high tide were relatively closed to each other. The lowest and highest density of Euglenophyta were around 20 000 cells/L and 30 000 cells/L, respectively. The lowest and highest density of total phytoplankton were also around 20 000 cells/L and 31 000 cells/L, respectively. This is very clear that the other three divisions of phytoplankton were not contributed much in the total density, in which Cyanobacteria and Bacillariophyta had lowest densities; and Chlorophyta densities ranged from 183 cells/L to 1 259 cells/L (Table 2).

2.2 Zooplankton

2.2.1. Composition of zooplankton

The diversity of zooplankton did not differ markedly between locations in this river. The major groups of zooplankton encountered were Rotifera and Copepoda with 8 and 4 found species, respectively. The total numbers of all zooplankton species found in this study were 18 species. The numbers of species found in four locations were ranging from 10 species to 13 species. The composition of zooplankton was not much different between locations and in both hig tide and low tide. Protozoans were dominated by Tintinnopsis beroidea, Leprotintinnus simplex, and Paracemium caudatum. Copepods were represented by Cyclops sp., Tropocyclops prasinus, Microcyclops varicans, and Mesocyclops leuckarti;

Page 320

besides nauplii of copepoda was also found in all of samplings locations. Cladocera was represented with only two species Moinodaphnia macleayi and Diaphanosoma brachyurum. Rotifers had highest number of species with the representive of genus Brachionus, Platyias, Lecane, Polyarthra, and Fillinia.

2.2.2. Density of zooplankton

The densities of zooplankton in the four locations were presented in the Table 4. The zooplankton density was mainly determined by the densities of Protozoans with higher than 60% of total zooplankton density in all samples; the following group was Rotifera with the

Page 321

contribution of 13 – 23% of total zooplankton density; Cladocera, Copepoda and Nauplius contributed for a very little amount (less than 7% most of the time) in the total zooplankton density. The highest and lowest Protozoan densities were around 400 000 inds/m3 and 1 360 000 inds/m3 , respectively. Whereas, the highest and lowest densities of total zooplankton were around 570 000 inds/m3 and 2 000 000 inds/m3. At high tide, the highest zooplankton density was found at point 3 with around 1 000 000 inds/m3; and lowest at point 4 with only 560 000 inds/m3.

per population was 32.21 in 2015 (26.78 in 2011). The percentage of people with health insurance coverage was 70% in 2015.

The transmission line will be mainly located on paddy field with scattered settlement along certain section of the line. The fauna and flora of the project area is not diversified, mainly betel grass. The animals are mainly small livestock and poultry such as dogs, cats, pigs. No critical habitat is identified along the transmission line. No canal, aquaculture pond, and other structures such as school, building, church, temple, market, hospital will be damaged by the construction of transmission line. A total of 183 tower foundations will be built for the project. Permanently acquisition of land for construction of the tower foundations will not be required, but approximately 850m2 of farmland will be temporary acquired for construction material storage or temporary access during the construction stage. The government will compensate the affected person due to the construction of the transmission line. Once the construction is complete, the government will return the land to the farmers who can resume their production.

Unexploded ordnance (UXO): After decades of war UXO is a significant issue in Vietnam, however, since Can Tho City was not a war zone and the area along the transmission line is mainly agricultural land, the area is considered as non-contaminated, earthworks could be undertaken without any special requirements or subsurface UXO clearance.

IV. Acticipated Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures

4.1. Potential Environmental Impacts during Preparation Phase

Dust, emissions and solid waste from site clearance like crop clearing and ground leveling. In addition, noises will be generated due to the operation of paddy mowers and leveling bulldozers.

The proposed transmission line route will pass through the paddy field and orchards, which will be damaged for construction of poles. To minimse the loss of paddy field/orchards and the impacts on farmers, the towers will be built on the ridge or aisle of the farmland and orchard. Therefore, the impact of construction of transmission line towers on farming activities would be minimal and temporary.

4.2. Potential Environmental Impacts during Construction Phase

1. Air Pollution

Dust could be generated mainly from the following activities: - earthworks; - transportation and storage of excavated soil and construction materials for the project; and

Page 338

- loading, unloading and storing construction materials on the construction site.

The level of dust emission is highly variable, the level of pollution depends on the speed of the vehicle, the intensity of the construction activity, the temperature, the direction and speed of the wind in the area, the humidity and the temperature. Normally, dust generates much more in daytime than in the night. Emissions would be mainly generated from vehicles (heavy trucks), construction equipment and backup generator if needed. The combustible fuel can release air pollutants such as dust, smoke, CO, CO2, SO2, NOx, VOC, etc. The level of emissions depends on factors such as vehicle speed, distance, type of fuel, and the effectiveness of the pollution control measures.

It is anticipated that the scale of earthworks is generally not large, and the quantity of construction materials required for this project are not high, the dust and air pollutants emitted by vehicles and construction activities would not be significant and would be rapidly dispersed. The dust and emissions mitigation measures could include the following: - installation of corrugated sheet fence to trap dust and keep it from spreading; - the construction materials onsite should be covered properly; - water spraying should be conducted to dampen the construction site and transportation route; - the construction vehicles transporting materials must not be overloaded and covered properly with tarpaulins; - all vehicles and machinery should be periodically inspected; - clean fuel should be used.

2. Noise and Vibration

Worker activities, movement of construction trucks, excavation of tower foundation, installation of towers, and operation of construction equipment would generate noise and vibration, but the impacts should be short-term. No blasting is anticipated. As most of the towers will be built on the farmland and orchard without noise sensitive receiver nearby, the potential noise impacts on nearby communities would be insignificant. Nevertheless, Noise mitigation measures include but not limited to the followings will be applied if needed: - limit the number of construction trucks on the roads during peak hours - Limit the speed of the construction trucks when passing through residential areas; - Regular maintance of the construction equipment and vehicles - Avoid using heavy and noisy equipment simultaneously

3. Waste

The construction of transmission line should not involve any significant cutting and filling with only minor excavation will be needed for preparing the foundations for the towers (poles). The excavated soil will be refilled immediately when the poles are set directly in

Page 339

the earth. Therefore, it is expected that the surplus materials such as excavated soil, rock, wood, cement, broken bricks and scrap iron would not be significant.

The surplus materials will be re-used to support other construction processes, if possible, or collected by qualified parties, which will deliver the surplus materials and dispose of it at the designated disposal site.

General waste will mainly consist of food waste, waste paper, plastic wrap and cans generated from the workers. According to the National Technical Regulation of Urban Techncial Infrastructure Works (QCVN 07:2010/BXD), the daily general waste generated by each construction worker is predcited to be 1.3kg. Hence, the quantity of general waste produced could be around 58.5kg/day (45 workers x1.3kg).

The general waste will be temporarily stored in garbage cans, which will be moved to the central waste collection area. For waste such as paper, wood, plastic and cans, they will be reused or sold for recycling. For all other non-resuable waste, it will be collected by qualified party once per day.

A general waste and construction waste management plan will be also established in accordance with the Decree No. 38/2015 / NDCP dated 24/04/2015 on waste management.

It is expected that the total quantity of hazardous waste generated would be about 2kg/month, mainly due to the use of lubricant for maintancne of construction machinery and equipment. All hazardous waste will be collected in the temporary storage tank, which will be placed in the location away from water sources and settlement to avoid potential impacts on water resources and human health. Qualified contractors will be assigned to collect the hazardous waste for proper processing on a regular basis. Hazardous waste management plan will be also developed in accordance to the Circular 36/2015/TT- BTNMT on regulations on hazardous waste management.

4. Impact on occupational health and safety

Potential occupational health and safety risks associated with the construction of transmission lines would primarily include live power lines and working at height. Prevention and control measures include but not limited to the following: - Only qualified workers are eligible for installation of electrical equipment and working at height - Personal protective equipment such as helmets, masks, workwear, safety belt (including backup safety trap) should be provided to the workers and they should be well maintained;

5. Impact on community health and safety

Page 340

The proposed transmission line will mainly pass through paddy fields/orchards with a distance away from the scattered settlement. Therefore, it is anticipated that the potential impact on community health and safety would be not significant. Nevertheless, prevention and mitigation measures include but not be limited to the following should be applied if needed: - provision of adequate sanitation facilities to maintain proper sanitation at construction areas along the transmission line route. For examples, provision of mobile toilets to avoid open defecation by construction workers and contamination; - temporary drainage facilities should be designed to facilitate removal of surface water and prevent the spread of communicable diseases.

4.3. Potential Environmental Impacts during Operation Phase

The transmission line does not typically give rise to significant environmental impacts as there should be no source of air emissions or effluents during normal operation of transmission line. The potential impacts of the operation and maintenance of the transmission line will be workers and public health safety. Related prevention measures should include but not be limited to the following: - visible signages and warnings should be posted at the base of the poles. Education and public outreach will be also conducted to raise public awareness on potential safety issues with the transmission lines and equipment; - only qualified workers will be allowed to undertake maintenance and repair works of the transmission lines; - regular trimming of the trees and plants near the transmission lines should be carried out to ensure safe clearance distance between power lines and vegetation.

V. Anlysis of Alternatives

Two route alternatives of the 22kV transmission line were considered as below: Option 1. The line goes along with roads of Ba Dam and DT922.

• Length of route: 11.6 km. • Flat topography, residential areas. • The route is located in Truong Xuan commune and Thoi Lai township, Thoi Lai district, Can Tho City.

Option 2. The line goes along with the existing 220kV line.

• Length of route: 12.2 km. • Flat topography, rice fields, canals. • The route is located in Truong Xuan commune and Thoi Lai township, Thoi Lai district, Can Tho City.

Figure 5.2 Option 1 of the Transmission Line Route

Page 342

Figure 5.3 Option 2 of the Transmission Line Route

Table 5.1 Transmission Line Alternatives Analysis

Option 1 Option 2 Pros Readily accessible to workers as it is Easy to establish right of way. along the national highway, convenient for construction, operation and maintenance. Cons It is relatively difficult to establish Far away from the highway, it is not right of way in the residential area. easily accessible to workers for operation and maintenance.

In general, the investment in power grid construction is always affected by the progress of compensation, agreement of route and clearance. Therefore, it is recommended to select option 2 for the transmission line route.

VI. Grievance Redress Mechanism

The project utilizes two parallel GRM, its own for complaints brought directly to Everbright Can Tho and the government’s for complaints directed by Everbright Can Tho to the government or complaints brought directly to government. The government’s GRM was established based on Complaint Law No. 2/2011/QH13 and Decree No.75/2011/ND-CP guiding implementation of the complaint law.

Page 343

Where complaints about administrative decisions or administrative acts regarding land management are settled for the first time by the presidents of the People's Committees of rural districts, urban districts, provincial capitals or provincial towns, but the complainants disagree with the settlement decisions, they are entitled to initiate lawsuits at people's courts or continue to complain with presidents of the provincial/municipal People's Committees. Since Can Tho City is municipality, when complaining with municipal People's Committee presidents, the decisions of the municipal People's Committee presidents shall be the final ones (According to Clause 3, Article 203, Land Law 2013).

The Everbright Can Tho’s GRM is developed based on China Everbright’s ESMS – Grievance and Redress Mechanism (EB-ESMS-06), which was officially implemented since 30 June 2017 .

China Everbright has established the GRM system through all the stages of the project, beginning with the design stage and continuing through the construction and operation of the subproject, until the end of project life. The procedures for GRM are outlined in Figure 6.1.

Figure 6.1. Procedures for Grievance Redress Mechanism

The ESHS manager of the Everbright Can Tho is responsible for handling complaints from the community directly. A telephone hotline has been set up to receive complaints from the public.

The participants generally support the proposed project and the affected persons (including the people who did not attend the stakeholder meeting) accepted the compensation arrangements. The approval of detailed compensation arrangement for the 22kV transmission line is shown in Appendix A and Appendix B. No environmental, health and safety, and social concerns and issues have been raised.

VIII. Environmental Management Plan In this section, a set of mitigation and magement measures to be taken during the construction and operation of the transmission line to manage the potential environmental impacts is discussed. The environmental management plan (EMP) has been developed in line with the best practices and ADB guidelines. The details of the EMP are shown in Table 8.1.

The separate environmental monitoring plan for the transmission line, which aims for determining the effectiveness of the impacts mitigation measures as shown in Table 8.1, is provided in Table 8.2. The monitoring plan also focus on three phases: pre-construction, construction, and operation of the project.

IX. Conclusion and Recommendation

This IEE has provided a comprehensive picture of all potential environmental impacts associated with the 22kV transmission lines development works, together with the recommended mitigation measures.

Key impacts during pre-construction and construction phases include: 1) impacts on farmland and orchard due to the construction of pole foundation, 2) air and noise pollution from excavation works, vehicles and other construction activities, 3) generation of household, construction and hazardous waste, and 4) occupation and community health and safety. During the operational phase, the key potential operational impact would be health and safety of worker and the public.

Measures to avoid and mitigate the potential environmental impacts have been developed in the EMP above. Providing that the EMP will be fully implemented, the potential environmental impacts will be effectively minimised and managed. Meanwhile, continued monitoring of the implementation of mitigation measures should be also properly conducted.

A. INTRODUCTION

1. In February 2018, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) signed a US$100 million loan facility agreement with China Everbright International Limited (CEIL) to build a series of municipal waste-to-energy (WTE) plants in Vietnam. The proceeds of the loan will be injected into CEIL’s underlying subproject companies. In evaluating the project, AECOM Asia Company Limited (AECOM) has been retained since June 2017 as the Lender’s Technical Advisor (LTA).

2. Part of the LTA’s responsibilities is to review the first ADB-funded WTE plant (i.e. Can Tho WTE Plant) during design, construction, and operation phases, covering technical, environmental & social performance against the prescribed standards. The LTA will follow-up on any inadequacies observed and recommend rectification measures.

3. To fulfil the conditions precedent to loan disbursement for Can Tho WTE Plant, appropriate environmental and social documentation are required. Following ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS) and CEIL’s Environmental and Social Management System (ESMS) – Project Cycle, Screening and Categorization (EB-ESMS-01), the Can Tho WTE Plant has been categorized by EB Can Tho Environmental Energy Co. Ltd (EBCT), CEIL’s subproject company responsible for Can Tho WTE Plant, as category B for involuntary resettlement (IR). Under ADB’s SPS and CEIL’s ESMS, projects with category B on IR have to establish resettlement plans. However, since resettlement had already been done by the government (and out of EBCT’s control) at the time of seeking disbursement, a social compliance audit was conducted in lieu of resettlement planning to appraise if the relevant social safeguard measures have been incorporated in accordance with the prevailing Vietnamese laws and regulations, as well as ADB’s SPS and CEIL’s ESMS. The findings of the social compliance audit, together with the proposed corrective action plan (CAP) to redress the issues identified, are presented in this report.

4. The Can Tho WTE Plant has been confirmed by EBCT as category C for indigenous peoples (IP), therefore no further action is required in this regard.

A.1 Methodology

5. The followings were undertaken for the social compliance audit for the Can Tho WTE Plant:

i. A desktop review of the CEIL and EBCT’s existing ESMS; ii. Review of relevant national laws, regulations and guidelines related to social impact assessment, land acquisition, and consultation and participation. A list of documents reviewed is provided in Appendix B; and

iii. A visit to Cần Thơ city was conducted on 1-2 July 2018, covering interviews with CEIL/EBCT’s management and selected staff, representatives of local government authorities, local farmers affected by land acquisition, as well as site inspection of the Can Tho WTE Plant. Site visit photo log and list of personnel met are provided in Appendix C and Appendix H respectively;

C.3 Impact Analysis and Income Restoration.

Can Tho WTE Plant Facility 21. 33 households are affected by the development of solid waste treatment area, including 1 organization (Trường Xuân CPC), 30 households having land acquired (in which one of them has 60m2 of affected residential land without structure; while the others have affected agriculture land with substructure) and 2 households (none-affected land) having assets (fruit trees and timber trees) on agricultural land affected of his father. These households used to earn from agricultural activities.

22. The acquired land area per household varies from 112.6 m2 to 28,039 m2, with an average of 6,099 m2. The amount of compensation and assistance paid to the households with the largest and smallest acquired land area were VND 7,810,205,367 and VND 31,095,210 respectively, according to the compensation plan established by the Thới Lai DACARC and approved by Thới Lai DPC. 23. Besides compensation amount for households with affected land, other assistances included allowance for occupation change (equivalent to twice the compensation price for agricultural land under the same type of land), and assistance for stabilizing livelihoods of households losing 30% or more of their production land. Further award of 5% of the value of compensation amount (but not beyond VND 5,000,000 per household) was granted for households handing over their land on schedule.

24. Under the established compensation plan, 16 households had lost more than 30% of their agricultural production land area (amongst which, 10 households lost 30%-70% of their agricultural production land and compensated cash assistance equivalent to 30 kg of rice per person per month for 6 months; 6 households lost more than 70% of their agricultural production land and compensated cash assistance equivalent to 30 kg of rice per person per month for 12 months), and 14 households lost less than 30% of their agricultural production land. However, livelihood restoration plans had not been established for households which may be adversely affected by the project. According to CEIL’s ESMS and ADB’s SPS, the number of households losing 10%-30% of their agricultural production land has to be identified from the 14 households losing less than 30% of their agricultural production land. Such households should also be considered as adversely affected households and eligible for additional assistances. A summary of compensation price for different types of land and other allowances in accordance with the approved compensation plan is as follows:

- Compensation price for residential land: VND 1,300,000 /m2 - Compensation price for annual crop land o Position adjacent to provincial road 919: VND 180,000/m2 o Position being not adjacent to provincial road 919: VND 90,000 /m2 - Compensation unit price for perennial crop land o Position adjacent to provincial road 919: VND 252,000/m2 o Position being not adjacent to provincial road 919: VND 126,000/m2 - Compensation price for structures: the compensation unit price is based on each type of specific structure and applied in accordance with the decision by Cần Thơ City People’s Committee. - Compensation price for crops: the compensation unit price is based on each type of specific crop and applied in accordance with the decision by Cần Thơ City People’s Committee.

25. Findings: A small number of poor and other vulnerable groups, e.g. the aged and some physically impaired people, were not specifically targeted during the compensation and assistance processes to address their special needs. It is claimed that local authorities are not responsible for targeting poor and vulnerable groups.

26. Under the prevailing national laws and regulations severely AHs are the households losing more than 30% of their productive assets, which is not in line with the 10% or above as required by ADB’s SPS and CEIL’s ESMS. Therefore, some livelihood assistance measures have to be identified and implemented for these additional severely AHs.

LTA for Vietnam Municipal Waste-to-Energy Project Social Compliance Audit Report of Asian Development Bank Can Tho Waste-to-Energy Plant local authority. Nevertheless, two interviewed AHs stated that they did not clearly understand about technology of waste treatment of EBCT during the time of consultation. Summary of information on interviewed affected persons is presented in the Box 1 below.

Box 1: Interview with affected households 1. Mr. Nguyen Thanh Long, Trường Thọ village, Trường Xuân Commune, Thới Lai district, Cần Th city (Total number of household’s members: three persons including husband, wife and a child):

 Total area of land owned before land acquisition: 3.7 ha (rice land) o Total land area acquired by the project: 1.2 ha (rice land) o Total compensation amount: VND 3.2 billion  Re-purchased 1.9 ha of rice land located in Trường Xuân Commune about five km far from the acquired land using the compensation.  Source of income before land acquisition: Agriculture  Source of income after land acquisition: Agriculture and small business (small store, coffee shop)  DMS was conducted for full assets. Family received full compensation and assistance before handing over the land to the project.  DMS minutes and detailed compensation plan was kept by the interviewee.  Compensation price is suitable and acceptable, the interviewee was satisfied with the compensation  Living condition of the family has improved after the land acquisition.

2. Mr. Nguyen Van Truyện , Trường Thọ village, Trường Xuân Commune, Thới Lai district, Cần Th city (Total number of household’s members: four persons including husband, wife and two children):

 Total area of land owned before land acquisition: 0.3 ha (rice land). o Total land area acquired by the project: 0.3 ha (rice land); asset on land includes 120 durian trees o Total compensation amount is VND 1.05 billion  Re-purchased 0.6 ha of rice land using the compensation located in less than 300m far from the acquired land in Trường Xuân commune. Plans were made to re-plant 210 durian trees in the new land using savings.  Out of 210 durian trees which are expected to be planted on the 0.6 ha, 55 durians out of 120 durian trees were removed from the affected land. Thus, an additional 155 durian trees has to be planned in the area.  Source of income before land acquisition: Agriculture and business  Source of income after land acquisition: Agriculture and business  DMS was conducted for full assets. Family received full compensation and assistance before handing over the land to the project.  DMS minutes and detailed compensation plan was kept by the interviewee.  The interviewee agreed that the compensation price was suitable and acceptable. Yet, the interviewee suggested that the compensation price for durians, VND one million/tree, is low as the price unit for re-planting durian is VND five million/tree. Nevertheless, no compliant was launched.  Living condition of the family is worse off after land acquisition.

According to two interviewed households and leaders of Trường Xuân CPC, only Mr. Truyện’s household has a worse living condition than before because the household has to re-invest in planting 210 durian trees and the household has less land for production. The

Note: After the interview, EBCT reviewed Mr. Truyện’s case and provided aerial photos showing that there were no durian trees within the site boundary of Can Tho WTE Plant before its construction. Therefore, the actual number of durian trees lost due to the Can Tho WTE Plant development cannot be confirmed.

39. In addition, during the process of preparing and implementing the project, there has been participation of the stakeholders in the project cycle. Responsibility and the participation of the stakeholders have been identified and analyzed by EBCT during the process of preparing the project: Cần Thơ PPC, MONRE, DONRE, Department of Industry and Trade, Cần Thơ Power Company, Thới Lai DPC, Contractors, Trường Xuân CPC, mass organization, affected households, host community, etc.

C.6 Corporate Social Responsibility

40. EBCT is scheduled to commence commercial operation by end of 2018, therefore social responsibility programs for local communities or community development plans are being prepared. Various local community assistance programs such as paving access roads, building community houses, and recruiting local workers including project directly affected persons, were implemented. Recruitment programs for skilled labors for the operation phase have been also carried out by recruitment through Trường Xuân CPC. 3 people from the affected households were employed by EBCT as skilled labors. It is reported that a total of approximately 300 people were recruited by EBCT during construction phase, and 10 local people will be recruited for operation phase.

C.7 Grievance Redress

41. The project utilizes two parallel grievance redress mechanisms (GRM), its own for complaints brought directly to EBCT and the government’s for complaints directed by EBCT to the government or complaints brought directly to government. The government’s GRM was established based on Complaint Law No. 2/2011/QH13 and Decree No.75/2011/ND-CP guiding implementation of the complaint law as follows:

First Stage: Ward Peoples’ Committee (WPC) - An aggrieved AP may lodge his/her complaint to any member of the WPC, either through residential groups or directly to the WPC, in writing or verbally. It is incumbent upon heads of residential groups to notify the WPC about the complaint. The WPC will meet personally with the aggrieved affected household and will have 30 days and maximum of 45 days following the lodging of the complaint, depending on complicated case or distance, to resolve it. The WPC secretariat is responsible for documenting and keeping file of all complaints that it handles. Second Stage: District People’s Committee (DPC) - If after 30 days or 45 days (depending on complicated cases) the aggrieved affected household does not hear from the WPC, or if the affected household is not satisfied with the decision taken on his/her complaint, the affected household may bring the case, either in writing or verbally, to any member of DPC or the District Compensation Assistance and Resettlement Committee (DCARC). The DPC in turn will have 30 days or maximum of 70 days following the lodging of the complaint, depending on complicated case, to resolve the case. The DPC is responsible for documenting and keeping files of all AECOM Asia Co. Ltd. 13 November 2018 P:\60546313\1.01\Deliverables\Can Tho E&S Audit\Social Compliance Audit Report\Social Compliance Audit Report_Final.docx

complaints that it handles and will inform the DCARC of any determination made and the DCARC is responsible for supporting DPC to resolve AH’s complaint. The DPC must ensure their decision is notified to the complainant. Third Stage: City People’s Committee (PPC) - If after 30 days to 45 days the aggrieved AP does not hear from the DPC, or if the affected household is not satisfied with the decision taken on his/her complaint, the affected household may bring the case, either in writing or verbally, to any member of the City’s PC. The City’s PC has 45 days or maximum of 70 days, depending on complicated case, to resolve the complaint to the satisfaction of all concerned. The City’s PC secretariat is also responsible for documenting and keeping file of all complaints that it handles. Final Stage: People’s Court - If after 30 days following the lodging of the complaint with the PPC, the aggrieved AP does not hear from the City’s PC, or if he/she is not satisfied with the decision taken on his/her complaint, the complainant can appeal again to the City’s PC. If the complainant is not satisfied with the second decision of the City’s PC, the case may be brought to a court of law for adjudication. If the court rules in favor of the complainant, then City’s PC will have to increase the compensation at a level to be decided by the court. In case the court will rule in favor of City’s PC, then the complainant will receive compensation approved by City’s PC. 42. Where complaints about administrative decisions or administrative acts regarding land management are settled for the first time by the presidents of the People's Committees of rural districts, urban districts, provincial capitals or provincial towns, but the complainants disagree with the settlement decisions, they are entitled to initiate lawsuits at people's courts or continue to complain with presidents of the provincial/municipal People's Committees. Since Can Tho City is municipality, when complaining with municipal People's Committee presidents, the decisions of the municipal People's Committee presidents shall be the final ones (According to Clause 3, Article 203, Land Law 2013).

43. The EBCT’s GRM is developed based on CEIL’s ESMS – Grievance and Redress Mechanism (EB-ESMS-06), which was officially implemented since 30 June 2017.

44. CEIL has established the GRM system through all the stages of the project, beginning with the design stage and continuing through the construction and operation of the subproject, until the end of project life. The procedures for GRM are outlined in Figure C.1.

Figure E.1: Online Job Advertisement Posted by EBCT

48. As the project was under construction phase at the time of visit, the ratio of women labor working in EBCT is not high due to the construction nature of work. As of June 2018, the number of female workers accounts for about 13.6% of the total contractor workforce. The Female workers are mostly responsible for housekeeping and cleaning of the construction site. Representatives of EBCT confirmed there was no binding provision on the recruitment of female workers in the contract with the contractor, wages and other allowances for male and female labors are the same. Priorities were given to recruiting unskilled laborers in the locality and affected households in Trường Xuân Commune and within the district. The recruitment method is through two official websites of http://www.canthoinfo.com/eb.asp and https://tuyencongnhan.vn/gian-tuyen-dung/cong-ty-tnhh-nang-luong-moi-truong-eb-can-tho.

49. During Information disclosure and community consultation process, both men and women had participated in the events. According to the list of participants in meeting on 14/4/2016, 46.15% of the participants are women. Also, according to the leaders of Trường Xuân CPC and consultation with affected households, signatures of house owners and their husbands or wives were required upon any compensation payment. These measures had demonstrated the gender equality on entitlement and obligation.

G. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Key findings

53. In summary, a total of 201,267.9 m2 of land was acquired for the development of the solid waste treatment area, including 60 m2 of residential land, 191,160.1 m2 of annual cropland and 10,047.8 m2 of perennial cropland. Amongst which, the Can Tho WTE Plant site occupies 53,066.35 m2, with 22 affected households.

54. The land acquisition was completed in 2016. Activities of land acquisition, compensation and assistance were implemented in compliance with the prevailing land laws and regulations at the national level. However, as there are gaps between ADB’s SPS and the Vietnam practices in social safeguards, additional efforts shall be paid by EBCT to identify additional severely affected households. Considering that the land acquisition was done by the local government directly, EBCT, as the developer and operator of the Can Tho WTE Plant, is not in a position to provide direct monetary compensation to these additional severely affected households. Other assistance options such as education and job opportunities will be designed and implemented.

55. During project preparation and implementation, many public consultation activities were conducted to address the concerns of the affected households, such as the detailed measurement survey, the compensation rates, and disbursement of the compensation fees. These activities have been properly carried out and documented as per the prevailing national laws and regulations. However, additional consultation efforts are required to ensure that vulnerable groups are fully informed of the project including the grievance system.

56. An effective environmental and social management system has been established for the Can Tho WTE Plant, outlining the grievance redress channel for the APs is unobstructed and effective. It has been confirmed by EBCT that themselves as well as the relevant local government authorities had not received any appeal and grievance. Based on the AECOM’s site meeting with governmental officials, it appeared that the government is highly supportive to the development of the Can Tho WTE Plant and they also confirmed that no grievances have been received.
