Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Environmental Policy, Monitoring and Enforcement:(Cost $22.68 M) Performance-Based CETP (Centralized Effluent Treatment Plant) Financing:(Cost $25.59 M) Implementation Support:(Cost $10.58 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Moderately Unsatisfactory Moderately Unsatisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Unsatisfactory Moderately Unsatisfactory Overall Risk Rating Moderate Moderate Implementation Status and Key Decisions The percentage of the nonproject financed operating IZs in the 4 project provinces complying with effluent discharge standards was 50% on the basis of the project-financed monitoring of the centralized effluent treatment plants. In addition, 38 Industrial Zones are now equipped with Automatic and Continuous Monitoring of the effluent of the Centralized Effluent Treatment Plants. River water quality is automatically monitored by seventeen river water quality monitoring stations installed und the Project and data are sent to the Center for Environmental Monitoring with the aim to make the results publicly available in the course of this year. Five Centralized Effluent Treatment Plants have been constructed under the Project. 9/28/2018 Page 1 of 6 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Vietnam Industrial Pollution Management Project (P113151) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance -- Moderate Moderate Macroeconomic -- Moderate Moderate Sector Strategies and Policies -- Moderate Moderate Technical Design of Project or Program -- Substantial Substantial Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Sustainability -- Moderate Moderate Fiduciary -- Moderate Moderate Environment and Social -- Moderate Moderate Stakeholders -- Moderate Moderate Other -- Moderate Moderate Overall -- Moderate Moderate Results PDO Indicators by Objectives / Outcomes Number of project financed IZs in project provinces in compliance with effluent discharge standards IN00567554 ►Number of project financed IZs in the project provinces in compliance with effluent discharge standards (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 3.00 5.00 8.00 Date 25-Oct-2012 19-Mar-2018 23-Sep-2018 30-Sep-2018 The basis for assessment of compliance is TT 35/2015/TT-BTNMT and QCVN40-2011 and 155/2016/ND- CP (list of hazardous parameters in effluent). he situation of the project financed CETPs is as follows: (i) Bao Minh:24 parameters are monitored under the project monitoring program, there were minor exceedances in 4 parameters in the period Aug-Nov 2017. However, none of these exceedances were for hazardous parameters as per 155/2016/ND-CP legislation. In 2018, project financed monitoring by the Comments: provincials DONREs was halted, but self-monitoring by independent laboratory of the Industrial Zone demonstrated compliance. (ii) Nhon Trach 3: 30 parameters were monitored, only coliform exceeded in 2017, but that is not a hazardous parameter. Self-monitoring of the industrial zone by independent lab in 2018 shows compliance. 9/28/2018 Page 2 of 6 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Vietnam Industrial Pollution Management Project (P113151) (iii) An Phuoc, the CETP has been constructed, but no wastewater has yet been discharged, due to lack of wastewater by the industries. As the lack of wastewater by the industries is outside the responsibility of the project and there is no exceedance of the wastewater effluent regulations, the CETP is in compliance with legislation. In accordance with Vietnamese regulations, Industrial Zones need to have CETPs as per the Law on Environmental Protection in order for wastewater producing industries to be able to settle on said IZ. (iv) Hoa Mac: 21 parameters monitored under the project. In 2017,there were minor exceedances in 5 parameters in the months March-Sept but only one parameter in each of the months and only for non- hazardous parameters. In 2018 self-monitoring of the Industrial Zone by independent laboratory demonstrated compliance. (v) Dong Van 3. CETP has been constructed, but no wastewater effluent due to lack of wastewater by the industries Therefore in compliance with legislation as there is no wastewater exceeding the wastewater effluent regulations. With the CETP, the IZ is in compliance with the law on environmental protection.

This is higher than the originally foreseen 34 non-project financed operating IZs. Out of these, 19 IZs are compliant, representing a percentage of 49%. In addition, Comments: automatic monitoring stations were installed, which is measured as part of the intermediate indicators.

These stations monitor continuously the wastewater effluent. Comments: Non-connected IZs have mostly too small CETPs, not collecting sufficient wastewater or are in upgrading period to be connected through Automatic Monitoring Station.
