4.4. SCREENING FOR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS 4.1. CLASSIFICATION OF IMPACTS The Environmental Impact Assessment focuses on the major environmental issues of the Project's Most Favoured Alternative. The potential impacts of the Project's pre- construction, construction, and operation phases were assessed as being in one of five | categories:
i. NO IMPACT. The potential impact of the Project activity is assessed as NO IMPACT if the project activity is physically removed in space or time from the environmental cormponenc. I ii. MAJOR IMPACT. An impact is said to be MAJOR if the project activity has potential to affect an environmental component. Major impacts could be "Major | Negative" or "Major Positive." The following criteria were used to determine whether a given impact is MAJOR: a) Spatial scale of the impact (site, local, regional, or national/ international); b) Time horizon of the impact (slhort, medium, or long term); c) Magnitude of the change in the environmental component brought about by the Project activities (small, moderate, large); d) Importance to local human populations; | e) Compliance with national, provincial, or district environmental protection laws, standards, and fegulations | f) Compliance with Vietnam's international commitments. These includc the Convention oni Wctl nncIs of Ilitcrnntionl.1 Jrmportanec ospcei ,lly LLi Waterfowl Habitat (RAMSAR), the Convention Concerning the Protection * of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage (World Heritage Convention), and the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild | Fauna and Flora (CITES); and g) Compliance with World Bank guidelines, policies, and regulations. iii. MINOR IMPACT. If an impact occurs but does not meet the criteria for a Major Impact it is assigned the category MINOR. Minor impacts could be "Minor negative" or "Minor Positive." I MITIGABLE IMPACT. The potential impact of a project activity on an environmeantal component is said to be MITIGABLE if there is potential for a major negative impact and the proposed mitigation measure will prevent the impact or reduce the impact to acceptable levels.

| 4.2. IDENTIFICATION OF POTENTIAL IMPACTS OF THE PROJECT The Project wil play an important role in the electrification program and in implementation of the policy of poverty alleviation of 16 communes within 4 Project's provinces. It will also promote the policy of industrialization and modernization of the Government of Vietnam as well as create a great opportunity for overall socio-economic development of the poor area. W;hen the distributtion lines are constructed, there is a trend of local people to move to live near the lines. The local people committee will have a proper planning accordingly to support the development of the areas. These planning are included: road, residential area, industrial development and farming etc. The communes/districts or provinces will move towvard its planning. These positive socio-economic values of the project are great. Refer to the Projcct Document for more details. Beside thie significant beneficial impacts, the project may cause different adverse impacts on the environment and local socio-economy.

4.3. PROJECT'S IMPACT ON PROTECTED AREAS As it was reported in Section 2.3, the Project will be carried out in San Sa Ho and Lao Chai commune of Hoang Lien Son- Sa Pa nature reserve of Lao Cai province. In Ha Giang province, the Thuong Tan commune (the Project commune), Bac Me district is located in Pac Me proposed nature reservc.
4.3.1. HOANG LIEN SON - SAPA NATURE RESERVE Conservation status Hoang Lien Son- Sa pa Nature Reserve is located in San Sa Ho, Lao Chai, Ta Van and Ban Ho commune, Sapa district, Lao Cai province. Hoang Lien Son- Sa Pa Nature Reser-ve (then called Nui Hoang Lien) was included in Decision NO 194/CT of the Chairman of the Council of Ministers, dated 9 August 1986 (MARD, 1997). This decision decreed the establishment of a 5,000 ha nature reserve for the protection of "high mountain forests, mono-Fokieiiia hodginisii stands and valuable medicinal herbs" (Cao Van Sung, 1995). An investment plan, prepared in 1993, defined a 29,845 ha nature reserve in Sa Pa and Than Uyen districts (Anon, 1993). In 1997, the area in Than Uyen district was placed under the management of the Song Da Watershed Protection Forest management board. An investment plan for the revised nattre reserve was prepared in 1997, which gave the area of the nature reserve as 19.991 ha (Nguyen Quang Hung et al.1997). Te boundary of the nature reserve was revised again in 1998 to include areas in Ban Ho commune, and the area of the nature reserve calculated from a digitized version of the current boundary is 24,658 ha (Tordoff et al. 1999).
Topography and hydrology Hoang Lien Son- Sa pa Nature Reserve is located in the Hoang Lien Son mountains, which are an extension of the Ailao Shan mountains in China, thle south- eastern extent of the Himalayan chain. The nature reserve is located on the north-east flank of these mountains and includes Vietnam's highest peak, Mount Fansipan (3,143 m). The lowest point is 380 m but most of the nature reserve lies above 1,000 m. the flanks of the mountains are very steep. Between Mount Fansipan and Sa Pa town, lies the Muong Hoa valley, whiclh becomes wider towards the east of the nature reserve (Tordcff et al. 1999).
HoIang Lien Son- Sa Pa Nature Ikeserve is drained by the Muong lloa and Tia Trulng I-lo rivers, whiichi feed the Nanl Po river and, finally, the Red River. Forest in the nature reserve has an essential role in water catchments protection, particularly forest at high elevations, which captures water by condensation and contributes it to stream flow (Tordoff et al. 1999).
Biodiversity value Hoang Lien Son - Sa Pa Nature Reserve contains 11,071 ha of natural forest (Tordoff et al. 1999). Variations in altitude, topography, hydrology and micro-
27 I1 l l
climate within the nature reserve have produced a wide variety of habitat types, which can be broadly classified into scrub, savanna, submontane deciduous forest, sub-alpine forest and dwarf bamboo (Tordoff et al. 1999). Plant species richness (2,024 known species of vascular plants) and levels of endemism (one quarter of Vietnam's endemic species) are both very high relative to other protected areas in Vietnam (Nguyen Nghia Tlin and Nguyen Thi Thoi 1998). For these reasons, the site was selected as a Center for Plant Diversity by the IUCN Plant Conservation Programme (Davis et al. eds. 1995).
Mammal diversity and abundance are relatively low as a result of intensive hunting pressure. However, Hoang Lien Son - Sa Pa Nature Reserve supports a high diversity of other animal groups. Three hundred and forty seven bird species have been recorded in and around the nature reserve, including several species that are endemic to the area. Invertebrate's diversity is also very high, and many species of invertebrates discovered at the site are known from nowhere else in the world (Tordoffet al. 1999)
In the Biodiversity Action Plan for Vietnam, Hoang Lien Son- Sa Pa Nature Reserve is rated "A" for biodiversity value (the highest rating) (Government of SRV/GEF 1994).
Conservation issues Over-exploitation of natural resources, together with clearance of land for cultivation and by accidental fire, is rapidly destroying the natural vegetation cover of Hoang Lien Son- Sa pa Nature Reserve. Already, natuLral forest covcrs less than half the area of the nature reserve, and continued human disturbance threatens those areas that remain. Where forest has been cleared or bunnt, soil fertility has decreased, and it will be a long time before the forest regenerates (Tordoff et al. 1999).
Cardamom Anzomwlitn1 aron7aticwan cultivation, timber extraction and the collection of non-timber forest product are leading to detcrioration in forest quality and changes in species composition. However, the long- term effects of these activities wiII be less severe as, firstly, some canopy cover remains, and, secondly, nutrients arc not lost through erosion. If these activitics cease, the forest may be able to rccovcr rlcativcly rapidly (Toldoff et al. 1999).
The natulC reserve has bccn established andid a managemcnt board has been formlcd. A hcadquarters building has been built, the boundaries of the naturc reserve I have been demarcated, and signboards have been posted displaying nature reserve regulations. The staff of the nature reserve is currently implementing fire-prcvention activities. 'rhey are also implementing forest management schemes to a greater or lesser degree. However, beyond fire prevention and social forestry, the nature reserve staff does not have any resources to enforce nature reserve regulations, although a
28 I request for funding for this and other activities has been submitted to central I government and is awaiting a response (Tordoff et al. 1999).
4.3.2. PROJECT'S ACTIVITIES IN HOANG LIEN SON - SAPA NATURE RESERVE Project's activities in San Sa Ho and Lao Chai communes are briefly described as follows: Table 4.6.

The above-mentioned data describes project's components, activities that will I be carried out in Lao Chai and San Sa Ho communes. These communes are part of Hoang Lien Son - Sa Pa Nature Reserve. The main Project's environmental impacts are similar as impacts shown in Table 4. 1. Rural I distribution network will be mainly constructed along the existing rural roads. Trees that will be cut by Project are mainly bamboos and fruit tree. The | Project does not encroach any dense forest or dense vegetation cover.

Mitigation measures proposed by this EMP are adequate to control and minimize the impacts caused by Project in these sensitive communes in term of protection of biodiversity in Protected area.
4.3.3. BAC ME PROPOSED NATURE RESERVE AND THUONG TAN COMMUNE
Conservation status In 1994, Ha Giang provincial DERD prepared an investment plan for I Bac Me, which proposed establishing a 27,800 ha Special-use Forest, comprising a strict protection area of 9,450 ha, a forest rehabilitation area of 17,125 ha and an administration and service area of 1,225 ha. This investment plan was approved by MARD, by Official Letter No. 88/NL-TL dated 8 March 1994, and by Ha Giang Provincial People's Committee, by Decision No 143/UB-QD dated 22 April 1994. Following this, a management board was established by the provincial people's committee on 24 November 1994 (Bac Me Forest Enterprise 2000).
The precise Special-use Forest category of Bac Me is not clear. Bac Me Forest Enterprise (2000) states that the site is both a nature reserve and a cultural and historical sire. However, Bac Me is included on the 2010 list as a 27,800 ha nature reserve, including 14,768 ha of forest (FPD 1998). The site is currently under the management of the provincial DARD (Bac Me Forest Enterprise 2000).
| Topography and hydrology
Bac Me proposed nature reserve is situated in Bac Me district in south- I eastern Ha Giang province. The topography of the proposed nature reserve is mountainous, and there are several peaks above 1000 m, the highest of which is 1,420 m, on the border with Tuyen Quang province. The lowest point in the - proposed nature reserve is less than 200m.
Stream originating in the north and west of the proposed nature reserve feed the Gam river, which flows south, into Tuyen Quang province, and eventually meets the Lo river. Streams originating in the south-east of the proposed nature reserve feed the Pao Nam river, a tributary of the Gam river.
Biodiversity value So far there is no exact informnation on biodiversity value of the Bac Me Proposed Nature Reserve.
Conservation issues A total of 6,443 people live inside the proposed nature reserve. The majority I of these people belong to the Hmong, Tay and Dao ethnic groups. These people practice both fixed and shifting cultivation inside the proposed nature reserve: there are 411 ha of wet rice land and 884 ha of hill agricultural land

I 5. PUBLIC CONSULTATION AND DISCLOSURE During project preparation stage (2004), the following activities were carried out:
Activity 1: Information & Discussion with Local Authorities on the Line Route Activity 2: In-pact Survey and Statistics U Activity 3: Meetings with PAHs When the survey was completed, District Compensation Committee (in coordination with the commune officials) held meetings with PAHs having land in * the line ROW and with village representatives. During the meetings, the Consultant presented numerous materials, including: Project Summary, draft RAP and draft EIA, maps of the project site, figures, tables, photos, pictures, and other support materials. Meeting officials informed participants of the Project purpose; prescnted the Project impacts on land and crops in detail; introduced the principles and policies of compensation and advised people not to build new structures in the line ROW. PAHs xvere consulted on the entitlement policy, property affected, and the compensation amount to each household. Questions posed by the PAHs were addressed and recommendations/concerns of PAHs and PCI were recorded.
Activity 4: Receiving Further Feedback from PAHs
Activity 5: Public disclosure and Clearance on EIA The Project will receive an investment license only after appropriate modification of location, design, capacity and/or technology of the project to meet the requirement of environmental protection and resettlement. To address disclosure requirements of OP 4.01, PCI will:
| Provide Vietnamese-language copies of the EIA report, RAP, and Project Summary to each commune-level and provincial-level People's Committee in the Project area. | Advertise in major local newspapers several times over a two-month period. The advertisement will state the EIA, RAP, and Project Summary is available for public review for a two month period during normal working hours at the followving locations: 1) the provinicial-levcl Pcoplc's Committccs; anl 2) Thc commune1LllC lcvcl Icoplcs' Comm1ittecs. | Englislh and ViCtnamese-language copics of tlhe IA report will also bc sClnt to the Vietnam Information Developmenit Centre at 63 Ly Thai To in Hanoi, for access by NGOs and public.
