I. INTRODUCTION
Project Background
1. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) provides financing for Secondary Cities
Development Project that will be carried out by the Provincial People’s Committee (“PPC”) of
Quang Nam, PPC of Dak Lak and PPC of Ha Tinh.
2. The objective of the Project is improved urban environment and climate resilience in
Buon Ma Thuot in the central highland region and the coastal cities of Ha Tinh and Tam Ky
resulting in improved environmental quality and increased coverage of urban infrastructure
and climate change adaptation in the three cities.
3. The Project consists of 12 subprojects in Tam Ky, Buon Ma Thuot and Ha Tinh and
shall comprise the following outputs: (i) new and improved urban infrastructure; (ii) improving
community awareness through information, education and communication, along with
associated livelihood opportunities; and (iii) improving competencies in integrated urban
development, environmental planning, climate adaptation and project management.
4. The SCDP environment semi-annual reporting is to cover the environmental monitoring
status and EMP compliance for the subprojects in all three cities. However since
construction has just recently started in only one of the three Buon Ma Thuot subprojects,
reporting for Buon Ma Thuot just covers the current status of the EMP implementation
arrangements. 5. The main objective of this report is to monitor the contractor’s implementation of
the uEMP and SEMPs to ensure that the subprojects comply with the laws and regulations
of the government and ADB Safeguard Policy Statement 2009.The specific contents of the
report are to present the outcomes of:
i. Monitoring the environmental impacts during construction period
ii. Monitoring implementation of environmental mitigation measures specified in the
Environmental Management Plans approved by ADB;
iii. Assessing documentation of complaints received and corresponding
actions/resolutions.
Project Implementation Progress
1. Buon Ma Thuot Subprojects
6. There are two PMUs involved with the SCDP in Buon Ma Thuot. PMU
DAKURENCO has two subprojects, one for construction of a new landfill at Hoa Phu and
closing of the existing Cu Eabur dump site (these are two separate contracts) and the
second for the construction of the Tran Quy Cap road. Buon Ma Thuot City PMU has one
subproject for the construction of the Mai Thi Luu road. These subprojects are described
below.
Hoa Phu Landfill - BMT 01A and BMT 01B
1st
Semi-annual Environmental Monitoring Report Q4, 2016
Black & Veatch in association with V-CIC 6
7. A new sanitary landfill will be constructed at Hoa Phu including access roads and
drainage, cell development, leachate treatment administration buildings and electricity
supply. The original design included 6 landfill cells but the resulting budget for
compensation of affected persons was beyond what the Dak Lak PPC prepared to consider
so the design scope was reduced to 2 cells. The revised detailed design and cost estimates
are complete but the approval from the PPC is still awaited. The total area is of 103 hectares
will be required so in the next stage another 53 hectares of land will be acquired for the
green buffer zone. A brief description of the works and contract information for package
BMT-01Ais provided below.
Package No. BMT-01A/NCB
Invitation for Bids 08 January 2016
Bid Opening 07 October 2016
Contractor: To be confirmed
Date of Commencement (NTP) Not started
Date of Completion To be determined
Contract Duration 365 Days
Engineer: Hung Dat Construction Ltd Co.
8. Construction of Package BMT-01B will not start until Q4, 2017 because PMU DAKURENCO cannot close the existing dump site at Cu Eabur until the construction of the new landfill is nearing completion so the detailed design for closing the old landfill has not yet commenced. Total area of the Cu Eabur site is 22 ha (including two cells of 6.9 ha). The solid waste will be compacted and covered by two soil layers with depth of 1.2 m. and the surface will be planted with trees and grass.
Tran Quy Cap Road - BMT 02
9. Tran Quy Cap road is designed with two traffic lanes each of width 7m separated by a median strip of 4 m and with 2 m wide sidewalks. The total road length is 3,942 m and the design includes lateral and longitudinal drainage and a small bridge. A brief description of the works and contract information for package BMT-02 is provided below.

To date the contractor has cleared the road alignment, installed cross drainage and commenced earth fill with 96K compaction and installation of longitudinal drainage.
Mai Thi Luu Road - BMT 03
11. As a result of the large budget required for resettlement compensation, the scope of work for Mai Thi Luu road had to be reduced and this led to redesign by narrowing the overall width of the road from 20 to 14 m. The final design is for a single carriageway of width 10.5 m with 1.75 m wide sidewalks. The total road length is 2,575 m and the design includes lateral and longitudinal drainage and a small bridge. The revised detailed design and cost estimates are complete but they have not yet been approved by the PPC. The updated Resettlement Plan is still under preparation. A brief description of the works and contract information for package BMT-02 is provided below.
Package No. BMT-03/NCB
Procurement: Will be tendered in Q1 2017.

EIA Process Compliance with ADB Safeguard Policy
32. Subprojects of Secondary Cities Development Project are category B under ADB's
environment guidelines. No component of any of the four subprojects is located in an
environmentally sensitive or protected area, and potential impacts during construction will be
mitigated by using good international construction practices. An initial environmental
examination report with an environmental management plan and implementation budget was
prepared for each of the subprojects of the Secondary Cities Development Project.
33. Preparation of these IEEs was guided by the requirements outlined in ADB’s
Safeguard Policy Statement (2009). Information in the IEEs was based on subproject
design, secondary data from other agencies, field inspection and information gathered
during time of community and stakeholder consultations. The IEEs were carried out with the
objective of (i) establishing current environmental conditions; (ii) identifying key
environmental issues; (iii) assessing magnitude of impacts and providing mitigating
measures; (iv) integrating the environmental issues in the project planning and design stage
and (v) developing an updated environmental management plan for implementation,
monitoring and reporting of the environmental mitigation and enhancement measures.
34. The IEEs of the subprojects were prepared by the Projects Construction Investment
Management Authority(PCI.QNa) of TamKy, Ha Tinh PMU and the PMUs of Buon Ma Thuot
city and DAKURENCO who are the implementing agencies(IAs)or project owners with IEE
consultants for approval by ADB and then disclosed on ADB's website. All of the IEEs were
submitted to ADB in June 2013.
35. The EMPs were updated for each sub-project and approved by the ADB as follows:

IV. INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGMENTS AND MONITORING RESPONSIBILITIES
A. EMP/EMoP Implementation by Contractor
36. During construction phase, the implementation of the EMP was the responsibility of
the D-B Contractor. The D-B Contractor’s responsibility included the appropriate and timely
application of the mitigating measures stipulated in the approved uEMP/SEMP. The
application and implementation of the mitigation measures were to provide the safeguards
that will control, reduce if not eliminate unwanted effects during the Subproject
implementation.
Environmental Monitoring by CSC/ PMU
37. During construction phase, the inspection, evaluation and recording of compliance to
the uEMP/ SEMP as implemented by the contractors were undertaken by the Construction
Supervision Consultant (CSC) in the field with the assistance of the PMIS environmental
Consultant. The CSC carried out weekly and monthly inspections and maintained records of
the Contractor’s mitigating measures and activities prescribed in the approved uEMP/ SEMP
of the Subproject. The responsibilities of CSC covered the period to the end of the
commissioning stage including certifying of construction materials, equipment and items and
final checking and acceptance for handing over for operation.
38. The inspection and evaluation records were consolidated by the CSC in their Monthly
Environmental Monitoring Report. The CSC’s collation and synthesis of the D-B Contractors’
compliance to the requirements of the uEMP/ SEMP were summarized in matrix attached
with the report submitted to PMU and PMIS environmental Consultant after the end of each
quarter.
Monitoring Activities Carried out by PIA Consultant
39. The PMIS environmental Consultant has provided support and advice to the CSC
and Contractors in implementation of uEMP/SEMP and assisted PMU in compiling
monitoring reports for submission to ADB. The PMIS environmental Consultant has carried
out field visits for inspection of environmental performance during Subproject
implementation.
40. During the 2nd half of year 2016, the PMIS environmental Consultant conducted three
field trips to the Project provinces in October, November and December. The on-site visits
were made to check the progress and quality of the construction works and compliance with
contract documents including safeguards issues. After each on-site review a meeting with
PMU, CSC and Contractors was held to give them recommendation/advices to the
Subproject implementation and to discuss and find resolutions to the emerged issues.
Specific site visits to monitor the environmental compliance of the Subprojects consisted of
the following activities:
(i) Validating physical progress of the construction works and point out non-compliance
with the approved EMP and EMoP;
1st

VI. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT MONITORING
A. Monitoring plan and responsibilities
44. During construction, the PMIS consultant will mobilize qualified environmental
monitoring agencies to undertake environmental monitoring for Ha Tinh subprojects, Tam Ky
subprojects and Buon Ma Thuot subprojects under the Secondary Cities Development
Project.
45. The scope of work includes taking samples in the field and testing of the collected
samples for (i) baseline environmental monitoring for air quality, noise and surface water
quality, (ii) quarterly environmental monitoring for surface water quality during construction,
(iii) semi- annual environmental monitoring for air quality and noise during construction, and
(iii) additional environmental monitoring (if required). The test results will be sent to the
PMIS consultants who will prepare the above mentioned environmental monitoring reports.
As Ha Tinh subprojects and Tam Ky subprojects are under construction, the baseline
environmental data will be taken from the approved EIA reports. PMIS consultant will only
implement baseline environmental quality monitoring for Buon Ma Thuot subprojects.
46. The monitoring consultants will undertake monitoring subprojects implementation in
Dak Lak province as follows:
+ BMT-01A - Hoa Phu Landfill site
+ BMT-01B - Cu Ebur waste dump site
+ BMT-02 - Tran Quy Cap Road
+ BMT-03 - Mai Thi Luu Road
� Parameters:
- Wastewater: pH,TSS, BOD5, COD, E.coli;
- Surface water: pH,DO, SS, Nitrite, Nitrate (NO3-), Total Oil and grease;
- Exhaust fumes: TSP. SOx, NO 2( exhaust fumes from vehicles would be
checked by registration agencies. The monitoring only checks that the
vehicles are legally operated.);
- Ambient Air Quality: TSP, SOx, NO x, Noise and Vibration.
� Frequency: Quarterly and Semi-annual
B. Baseline Environment Quality

1. Baseline Data for Ha Tinh subproject
47. The packages of Ha Tinh subproject has been started since June 2016 before PMIS
services commenced (in September 2016). Therefore the baseline data for HT-01, HT-02,
and HT-03 was referred from available EIA data approved by Ha Tinh PPC in 2013.
48. Ambient air and noise quality. According to the results of air quality monitoring in
2012, the air quality in Ha Tinh city was always within the limits of national and international
standards. The noise levels at the sampling locations (the industrial and commercial areas)
exceeded the national standards and international.
49. Surface water quality. Based on the results of the analysis of samples taken at Do
Ha bridge (in the middle of Rao Cai River, in the city center) in 2011, Rao Cai river water
quality was good and within the limit set by the national standard QCVN 08 : 2008 / BTNMT
(B2). The coliform content exceeded the standard recommended by US-EPA. Rao Cai is not
a water source for domestic water supply and irrigation but it plays an important role as the
outlet for drainage of surface water as well as water transportation in Ha Tinh city.
50. Groundwater quality. Groundwater is sourced from the alluvial river aquifer. The
thickness of the aquifer ranges 0.4 - 1.0 m and at the depth of 12m, the ground water is
salinized. The results of groundwater quality monitoring at Van Yen ward showed that the
samples taken from a private well met the limit set by national standard QCVN 09: 2008 /
BTNMT and the Guidelines for Drinking Water Quality of the WHO.

C. Results of sampling program conducted during the monitoring period
The sample program will be conducted in Quarter I/2017 so the results will be reported in the next semi-annnual report.
VII. PUBLIC CONSULTATIONS, GREVIANCE REDRESS MECHANISMS
A. Public Consultation and EMP Information Dissemination
55. Public consultation and information disclosure commenced early in the project cycle and will continue throughout the life of the project.
56. During preparation of EMPs, public consultations were carried out to provide information on the project, impacts and mitigation measures as well as implementation arrangements.
57. Prior to beginning construction, contractors conducted consultations with the local communities to familiarize them with the work to be done, the predicted impacts, and the mitigation measures to be used. The contractors have also met with local communities regularly, to provide and receive the latest information.
58. Dissemination of relevant information about the subprojects and their potential impacts will help stakeholders to understand the impacts, risks and opportunities of the subprojects. IEEs of the subprojects were approved in 2013 and posted on ADB’s website. At the stage of construction, the SEMP has been disclosed in the wards/communities that belong to three subprojects. The contractors provided local community information on upcoming construction related activities and issues related to traffic safety. During the monitoring period, information dissemination has been conducted for all packages. 59. The environmental monitoring reports and laboratory results will be provided to local government (e.g., people’s committee at the ward and commune levels).
B. Grievance Redress Mechanism
60. The grievance redress mechanism of the project has been disclosed at the relevant wards/ communities of the subprojects, together with the uEMPs and the SEMPs . 61. Up to November 2016, there are no complaints related to negative impacts on the environment due to the subproject activities recorded.
VIII. INSTITUTIONAL STRENGTHENING AND TRAINING
62. PMUs have assigned the staff to be responsible for co-ordination of environmental activities of all components of the subproject. The main objectives are as follows:
(i) To ensure that the PMU are in compliance with the guidelines included in the EMP (ii) To ensure that all the involved parties will prepare and submit environmental
monitoring reports to PMU. These environmental reports shall be maintained and consolidated for submission to ADB and other authorities on request.
(iii) To act as the liaison between DoNRE and other governmental authorities in terms of environmental issues

IX. KEY ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
A. Tam Ky
64. For the last two months, very little work has taken place due to the rains so the impacts from the construction work have been relatively small. 65. On TK-01 the site has been inactive for a long period and although much of the site is relatively far from the communities children can easily gain access to the site and wander amongst the idle construction machinery and water-filled excavations which present many dangers. It is therefore essential that watchmen are on duty at all times to warn off trespassers and all excavations are fenced off.

67. On all contracts, measures to prevent spillage of soil from trucks and to sweep up material spilt onto the roads are sometimes inadequate so the contractors need to pay more attention to this. Insufficient safety measures have been provided on the roads used by construction traffic. Such measures include the installation of boards that warn the public to beware of construction vehicles and assigning persons to guide traffic during rush hours.
HT-01
68. The temporary canal for Channel T3 was not effective and led to widespread flooding when heavy rains occurred. During heavy rains there was no effective drainage from the site which increased the flooding in the surrounding area. As the rains have subsided this is no longer a critical issue.

HT-03 69. On Hai Thuong Lan Ong road there are not sufficient barriers to separate the construction work from the nearby houses so the contractor must ensure that all sites which could present risk of injury to residents are adequately fenced. 70. Measures to prevent spillage of soil from trucks and to sweep up material spilt onto the roads are sometimes inadequate so the contractors need to pay more attention to this. 71. In December after the rains stopped, road watering to reduce dust has not been done regularly. 72. Construction workers on the construction sites still do not regularly wear protective clothes and equipment.

X. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
A. EMP Provisions have been implemented
1. Integrated environmental safeguard provisions are in the bid documents and civil contract
� Bid document: Environmental Safeguard requirements are integrated in the Bidding
Document including:
- Budget for safeguards management
- Human resources
- Specification on environmental management
- Inclusion of IEE, EMP and RP
� Civil contract: Clauses in particular conditions of contract regulated that the
Contractors shall carry out all necessary activities to protect the environment and
comply with current laws and regulations
2. Environmental Management System has been established for the project
� Project owner/PMU: All PMUshave assigned environmental management staff for
this project.
� Project Management and Implementation Support Consultant (PMIS): PMIS has
mobilized environmental specialistsfor all three cities.
� Supervision Consultant: Supervising Consultants are responsible for construction
supervision including (1) advise PMBs on issues related to the project’s
environmental works, (2) generally guide contractor on environmental protection
works, (3) review and comment on environmental documents for the subproject, (4)
examine and supervise contractors on undertaken mitigation measures, (5) monitor
environmental safeguard policy compliance of subprojects
� Contractors: Contractors have all assigned an environmental staff member for
implementation of EMP compliance foreach package.
3. Application of mitigation measures at the site
� Waste Management
‐ Wastewater: Runoff from fuel depots/workshops/machinery washing areas is
collected in conservancy tanks and disposed of at permitted sites.
‐ Solid waste: Litter bins, containers and refuse collection facilities are provided at the
places of work for later disposal.
‐ Hazardous waste: Used oil, lubricants, cleaning materials, etc. from the maintenance
of vehicles and machinery are collected in holding tanks.
� Safety management
1st
Semi-annual Environmental Monitoring Report Q4, 2016
__________________________________________________________________________________
Black & Veatch in association with V-CIC 68
- Construction Site Safety: The need forprotective equipment/clothing for workers
and safe sight distances are established in construction areas but need to be
implemented more fully.
- Traffic Management: Materials are kept for traffic signs (including paint, easel, sign
writing materials, etc.), road marking, and guardrails to ensure pedestrian safety
during construction and signs and flagmen areused to control traffic.
B. Actions Recommended
� Human resources and organization: contractors have assigned an environmental officer for safety and environmental management. They should also establish a Board for safety and the environment in which responsibilities are assignedfor each member. Staff of PMU and Contractors, in charge of environmental monitoring, are not specialized in the environmental field so training courses/workshops on environmental safeguards should be frequently provided.
� File Documents: Contractors have prepared environmental safeguard documents but the forms are not usually updated and filled in on site.All documents related to environment safeguards shall be readily available on site to provide information for engineers and contractor’s staff for implementation and for examination and supervision purposes.
� Publish SEMPs: The SEMP prepared by contractors shall be published in
Vietnamese in communes and communities impacted by the construction works so that local people can have easy access to the information.
� Environmental sampling and analysis: The construction activities have
commenced since several months, so periodic sampling and testing for quarterly and semi- annual should be implemented as soon as possible.
C Proposed for next period
The next semi-annual report of Environmental monitoring will be implemented in June 2017
with the following contents:
i. Implement on-site inspection
ii. Conduct sampling monitoring programs
iii. Monitor the EMP implementation of all stakeholders
