I. GENERAL INTRODUCTION
The subproject “Jointing 110kV line at 220kV Bim Son substation - Thanh Hoa province”
is one of the subprojects that will be implemented in Phase I of the Distribution Efficiency
Project (DEP) of Electricity of Viet Nam Corporation funded by the World Bank. The subproject
will be implemented in Bac Son District, Bim Son Town, Thanh Hoa Province.
The activities of the subproject include: Rehabilitation and newly construction of two
110kV branches and jointing to the existing lines. The first branch is to Ninh Binh, Bim Son with
a total length of 3.537 km (4 circuit line). The second ones is to Ha Trung with a total length of
1.67km (2 circuit line). These activities can cause negative impacts on the environment and local
communities in the period of pre-construction, construction and operation.
To ensure that the potential negative impacts are identified and mitigated during project
implementation and compliance with policies on environment assessment of World Bank -
(OP/BP 4.01), Environment Management Plan (EMP) of project had been prepared in
accordance with the guidance of the Environment Management Framework (EMF) of DEP. This
EMP includes: project description, policy framework, regulations of environmental technical, the
potential negative impacts, the proposed mitigation methods will be implemented in the periods
of pre-construction, construction and operation, implementation arrangements. EMP also
includes Environmental Codes of Practice (ECOP) will be incorporated into tender documents
and contract, attached with environmental monitoring.
To comply with the government environmental management regulation the subproject
needs to prepare an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). The EIA of the subproject is being
prepared in parallel with the preparation of the EMP.

V. SUBPROJECT POTENTIAL IMPACTS
5.1. Environmental screening:
Table 5.1. Environmental impact assessments
Screening Question Yes No Remarks
1. Is project located near or in
sensitive area with regards to?
Cultural heritage X The project power line would not go
through the culture or history works so
it has no impact.
Reservation zone X The project’s power line would not go
through the conservation areas so it
has no impact.
Wetlands X The project’s line would mainly go
through the hill so they does not go
through the wetlands.
Forests X The project’s line would not go through
the forests so it has no impact.
Estuary X The project’s line would not go through
the estuaries so it has no impact.
Reservation buffer zone X The project’s line would not go through
Subproject: Jointing 110kV line at 220kV Bim Son substation
Environmental Management Plan 14
Screening Question Yes No Remarks
the buffer zone of protection areas so it
has no impact.
Rivers and reservoirs
X Line from pole No 9 to pole No 10 goes
through lake. There is no foundation
next to lake. The impact is considered
to be small.
Canaland irrigation network X The project’s line goes through some
canal but they are not the location to
build foundation for the poles so it has
no impact.
2. Potential environmental impact,
by project?
Intrusion to cultural and historical sites X The project’s line does not go through
areas that have the culture or history
works so it has no impact.
Encroachment on critical ecosystem
(e.g. sensitive or protected area,
national park, nature reserve etc....)
X The project’s line does not go through
the conservation areas so it has no
impact.
Intrusion to ecosystem (ex: nature
reserve, national park)
X Because of corridor clearance, there
will be small changes in landscape and
increase waste. However, impact is low
and mitigation measures will be
applied. .
Affecting landscape and resulting in
waste
Undermining vegetation cover or
cutting down trees for site during site
clearance for substations and along the
transmission line?
X The route mainly goes through the
average high and low hill, most land
areas are using to plant corn, potatoes,
cassava, sugar cane and short-term
fruit-tree such as pineapple, so it is
unnecessary to cut down them (the
vegetation cover is only impacted at
foundation positions)
Change surface water quality or river
course
X The route does not go through any
river, pond or lake so it has no impact.
Increase water turbidity due to
change in surface water quality
or erosion
X The excavated soil (1,318 m3) will be
given to inhabitant in subproject area
to plant tree and farm produce. There
fore, there is no excavated soil after
Subproject: Jointing 110kV line at 220kV Bim Son substation
Environmental Management Plan 15
Screening Question Yes No Remarks
completing the subproject.
Because the topography where the line
passes through is mainly the average
high and low hilly and mountainous
areas, while constructing if in the
raining season without projection

discharged directly into outside
water bodies?
X
Result in more dust? X - Dust will be generated from soil
excavation, ground leveling activities,
particularly in dry season. The affected
are people living and working around
the subproject site.
- Dust would also be generated by
transportation means that carry
materials and equipment during the
construction. The affected are people
involved in the traffic during the
transportation of construction
materials or equipment, either on
local roads or on provincial or
national roads.
- The measures described in section VI
will be implemented to minimise the
impacts of dusts.
Increase noise and/or vibration? X - Noise and vibration are generated by
operation of equipment, transportation
of materials, transportation means,
ground leveling, pole erection, and
operation of power generator (if any).
- The substations will be located on
foot hills, far from residential areas,
and hence noise and vibration during
construction would not affect local
communities.

these impacts.
Permanent land acquisition X Permanent occupied land area is 1,828
square metre
Temporary land acquisition X Temporary occupied land area is
19,464 square metre
Resetlement of households? If yes, how
many households?
X The route mainly goes through the low
hills that plant short-term crops. The
constructing area does not impact local
household so there is not any
household to move.
Would the resettlement site is
environmentally and/or culturally
sensitive
X
Is there any risk of disease
dissemination from construction
workers to the local peoples (and vice
versa)?
X - Construction force includes one
construction team/per commune, each
team will have about 10 workers. The
total number of workers on the site at
the peak time is about 250 people but
they are in many places of the route,
not gathering in one place. Therefore,
the spread of disease will also be
limited.
-Interactions with local community
may pose the risks of STD/HIV/AIDs
diseases transmission between
workers and local community.
Relevant measures described in
section VI of this EMP will be
implemented to minimise these risks.

Screening Question Yes No Remarks
Is there any potential for conflict
between construction workers and local
peoples (and vice versa)?
X Workers and local people are different
in income, lifestyle, custom thus it will
generate small conflict but it will be
limited.
Are explosive and hazardous chemicals
used within the Project?
X
In the past, there was any accident
incurred due to landmines or explosive
materials remaining from the war?
X
Will Project's construction cause
disturbance to the transportation in the
Project's site?

material and equiptment can cause
traffic jam. The excavation impacts the
quality of the road and cause the
traffic.
Project's construction will cause any
damage to the existing local roads,
bidges or other rural infrastructures?
X - The heavy transport vehicles can
damage the current roads.
- The impacts on traffic will also be be
managed by the measures presented in
this EMP
Will soil excavation during Project's
construction cause soil erosion?
X The constructing time for each pole
foundation is not long (maximum about
one week) and avoiding to construct in
raining seasons and constructing
definitively each item, so the erosion is
negligible.
Will Project need to open new access
roads?
X Using the current road system to
construct. These roads will be
improved for constructing and traffic of
local people.
Will Project cause fragmentation of
habitat of flora and fauna?
X In the corridor if there are crops and
trees that affect the constructing
process must be cut off.
Will Project cause impact on air
quality?
X The impact level to the environment by
exhaust fumes of traffic means during
transportation will be limited by
covering, avoid scattering.
Will Project cause accident risks for

of power industry (in accordance with
Vietnam applicable technical
regulations, electromagnetic field
(EMF) < 5 kV/m), wherein impacts
from EMF and safety standards and
operation safety have to be taken into
due account.
- Prior to operation, all safety
indicators shall be tested and accepted
by the project owner, contractor and
operation entity therefore workers
shall not be suffering from such EMF
impacts.
- In the phase of commissioning, the
safety in power use of households of
ethinic minorities who use electricity
for the first time also needs to be paid
attention to minimize the risk of
electric shock. However, this impact is
very little and avoidable if the people
are trained well in safe power use.
- The mitigation measures in Section VI
will also be implemented to minimise
safety risks
Since implementation of the subproject would mainly cause land acquisition, increased dust
generation, air pollution, and domestic wastes. However, these impacts are not significant,
temporary, and localized, and can be mitigated available mitigation measures. Therefore, the
subproject is assessed as B environmental category and eligible for funding by the World Bank.

VIII. EMP IMPLEMENTATION ARRANGEMENT AND CAPACITY BUILDING
a) During Detailed Design and Preparation of Bidding Contract Documents
During the detailed design and bidding invitation preparation, the project management unit
will be responsible for incorporate the EMP (mitigation measures, responsibilities of the
contractor) into the attached annexes in the bidding invitation and contract signed with the
contractor. Engineers taking charge of the detailed design will also refer to findings in the EIA
and EMP to ensure environmental issues will be looked at in the final design.
During the bidding invitation preparation and the contract, it is necessary to ensure the
contractor is fully informed of its responsibilities in implementing environmental mitigation
measures and its commitment to compliance.
b) During Construction Phase
PPMU will assign the Construction Supervising Consultant (CSC) and/or field engineer to
be responsible for supervision of safeguard performance of contractor on a daily basis. A generic
