Introduction 1. Quy Nhon is a Central Vietnam coastal city directly under Binh Dinh province. Quy Nhon is 1.060km far from Hanoi capital in the North, 640km from Ho Chi Minh city in the South. Quy Nhon is a political, economic, cultural, scientific - technological and tourist center of Binh Dinh province and the center of the Central Vietnam. The location of Quy Nhon City is shown in Figure 0.1 below. Figure0.1.Quy Nhon city’s location 2. Reflecting the important role that Quy Nhon city can play in Binh Dinh’s development and urbanization process, the Government has requested support from the World Bank for infrastructure development and environmental sanitation; resettlement and clearance;technical support and institutional reform. Ending up 2014, Quy Nhon city hasits population about 285,543 and are the principal urban center in their respective provinces. 3. Like many cities in the developing world, where urbanization is taking place at a rapid pace,Quy Nhon city is struggling to keep up with rising demand for basic urban infrastructure and environmental sanitation and in urban expansion areas. Due to rapid population in recent years, infrastructure and environmental sanitation condition are not guaranteed. The sewage and sanitation systems are inadequate, some areas in city usually are inundated when downpour occurring such as Hoc Ba Bep area and upstream ditch of Bau Sen lake, solid waste management deficiencies and uncontrolled dumping also and lack of infrastructure for connecting traffic route. Those things affected negatively citizen’s health and decreased household incomes so it is very urgent to carry out CCSEP project - Quy Nhon city subproject. B. Project objective and description 4.

Natural environment condition 11. Presented below are brief descriptions of CCSEP project – Quy Nhon city subproject 12. Geographical condition: Quy Nhon City (“the City”) is located at the southernmost of Binh Dinh province with the geographical coordinates of 13046’ Northern latitude, 119014’ Eastern longitude, of which the North borders Tuy Phuoc and Phu Cat districts, the South borders Song Cau district of Phu Yen province, the East borders South China Sea, the West borders Tuy Phuoc district, at the distance of 1,060 kilometres from Hanoi to the North and 640 kilometres from Ho Chi Minh City to the South, where the No. 1 national highway and the trans-Vietnam railway run through. The City has an airport with the regular flights to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. 13. Climate condition: The climate in central area of the Quy Nhon city is typical for the Central Coastal region. The prevailing wind is the north-west wind during the rainy season and west wind in the dry season. The dry season is from January to August and the rainy season lasts from September to December. The rainfall in Quy Nhon allocated unevenly in the months of year, the rainy season is from September to November, accounting for 80% rainfall of whole year. In condition of hot weather, west wind in dry season, high temperature, great evaporation volume, etc… which decreases the water volume of river and channel system in the city, causes serious drought and is the one of main consequences of reducing crop productivity. 14. Geological and hydrological: Quy Nhon city is located at South of Ha Thanh river, which is 85km of length. The starting point of Ha Thanh river is from Southwest of Van Canh district, flows Southwest – Northeast directions to Dieu Tri and it is divided into 2 branches: Ha Thanh and Truong Uc (with 580 km2 of catchment area). Currently, Ha Thanh river are often dry, the flow is inconsiderable in summer. In rainy season, river water flows very fast and it often causes flood in October to November, the flood time lasts 58 to 75 hours. For the oceanographic, extreme water level is calculated according to annual cycle and shown in the table 2.1 below: Table 2.1. Extreme water level according to annual cycle Repeated cycle (year) 2 5 10 20 25 50 100 H (cm) (Country) 76.0 86.3 93.1 99.6 101.7 108.0 114.1 15. Air quality, noise: Air quality in Quy Nhon city area is within allowable limits according to QCVN05:2013/BTNMT. 16. Surface water quality: Several analysis parameters of surface water samples such as Cl-, NH4+, BOD5, Fe and oil and grease exceed allowable limits according to QCVN 08:2015/BTNMT, column A2: using for water supply but it is necessary to apply appropriate treatment technology. The analysis results showed that surface water samples were polluted by oil and grease. This parameter exceeds many times comparing with allowable limit according to QCVN 08:2015/BTNMT, column A2. 17. Groundwater quality: Overall, analysis results of ground water samples taken in Quy Nhon city are within allowable limit according to QCVN09:2015/BTNMT. However, there were a few of parameters exceeding allowable limit such as Cl-, NH4+ but it is only a minority. 7 Executive summary of ESIA for CCSEP project –Quy Nhon city subproject 18. Domestic wastewater quality: Domestic wastewater in Quy Nhon city is polluted seriously. There were analysis parameters exceeding many times comparing with allowable limit according to QCVN14:2008/BTNMT, column A such as oil and grease, BOD5, NH4+, TSS. 19.

Environmental-social impact assessment for Quy Nhon city subproject investment were developed based on document reviews, meetings with key agencies, field visits to project sites and collection of environmental data (air, noise, vibration, sediment, sludge analysis, etc). A checklist method was used to identify key issues. In addition to the ESIA report, Resettlement Plan report (RP), Social Assessment report (SA) for Quy Nhon city subproject, have also been prepared in line with relevant WB’s safeguard policies. Section 3.1 and 3.2 summarizes key positive and risk and potential negative impacts of the project, during the site clearance, construction and operation phases of the project. 3.1. Positive impacts 30. Overall the project construction will bring positive impacts to the environment and society. The capacity of wastewater collection and stormwater drainage on Quy Nhon city area will be improved significantly through the construction of Nhon Binh WWTP and stormwater drainage culvert system. Besides, capacity of solid waste management and traffic infrastructure connection is also improved through the construction of new A-4 cell in the area of Long My landfill and Y-shaped bridge and Huynh Tan Phat bridge. Those construction works will contribute to improve environmental sanitation condition as well as boost economic-social development in project area. 3.2. Risk and potential negative impacts 31. Project will cause negative impacts to the environment and community through activities such as (1) land acquisition, site clearance; (2) construction activities of the project; (3) some activities after completing project. Type and nature of impact change significantly according to the nature and scale of three activities mentioned above. However, construction works of the project are in medium and small scale with almost of temporary and localized negative impacts. Therefore, those impacts is completely able to mitigate through applying mitigation measures and management (will be presented in chapter 5). Impact level of the project will be presented respectively in the Table 3.1 below: Table 0.1.

Impacts mainly are dust, emission in transport process of material and waste. Those impacts will be minimized through mitigation measures and management. 35. Impacts to ecosystem: According to result of field survey and analysis, project activities do not cause negative impacts to ecosystem. Nature reserves and biosphere reserves are far from project construction area (10-80km), therefore, those areas do not affected by project’s activities. Since up to now, Ha Thanh river has not found out yet any Red List species or migratory fish species. In other hand, area of Ha Thanh river currently affected by people’s daily activities, therefore, impacts to ecosystem is low level. 36. Cumulative impacts: Projects considered as cumulative projects with CCSEP project include: (1) Coastal cities environmental sanitation project (CCESP) – Quy Nhon city subproject; (2) Existent Hoa Lu street technical infrastructure project of extended Hoa Lu street. The project CCESP had finished in 2014 so construction process will not cause cumulative impacts. However, the CCSEP is a continual project of CCESP project and there would be several components relating to CCESP project, which to solve the remaining environmental issues and ensure the sustainable development. For the extended Hoa Lu street project, cumulative impacts such as dust, noise will arise on Dong Da ward, where constructs Y-shaped bridge and Huynh Tan Phat bridge. However, those impacts are short-term and localized. 37. Synthesis of environmentally sensitive locations and its site-specific impacts.

Mitigation measures for negative impacts are researched and proposed in three phases of the project include: preparation, construction and operation phase. In detail design process, negative impacts will be minimized as much as possible through combining with designs, bidding documents and contract with construction contractors. Bidding documents and contract will reflect (i) general mitigation measures (ECOPs); (ii) mitigation measures for each type of works; (iii) site-specific mitigation measures. Detail in (i), (ii) and (iii) are presented in ESIA report of CCSEP project – Quy Nhon city subproject. 44. Solutions to renovate landscape, environment, energy saving and safety during the process of works operation have been proposed in FS and will be synthesized in detail design A. Prepartion phase 45. Estimated cost for Resettlement Action Plan of the sub-project is approximately 13,860,231,000VND (equivalent to 620,839 USD at the exchange rate of 22,325 VND = 1 USD). Estimated cost for land clearance and resettlement is calculated based on provisions set by People committee of Binh Dinh province and policies determined by the World Bank. Estimated cost for project implementation will be updated upon land acquisition. B. Construction phase 46. Mitigation measures and general management in construction phase applied to mitigate key negative impacts as following:  Impacts from dust, smoke, noise, bad odors and vibration,  Wastewater,  Solid waste,  Hazardous waste,  Water pollution,  Impacts on living creatures and aquatic species,  Impacts on urban beauty and landscape,  Flooding, erosion and sedimentation,  Subsidence,  Traffic safety issues,  infrastructural works and existing services,  Social impacts,  religious and cultural works,  Community health and safety,  Safety and health of workers. 47. Mitigation measures for each type of works include: (i) Phu Hoa channel and upstream ditch of Bau Sen lake; (ii) stormwater drainage culvert on Tran Hung Dao, Bach Dang street and Hoc Ba Bep area; (iii) Nhon Binh WWTP; (iv) A-4 cell of Long My 20 Executive summary of ESIA for CCSEP project –Quy Nhon city subproject landfill; (v) School toilets; (vi) Y-shaped bridge and Huynh Tan Phat bridge. Those mitigation measure will be put in construction contract for each type of works including ECOPs. 48. Site-specific mitigation measures have also been proposed for environmentally sensitive locations, where are near project construction area. Those environmentally sensitive locations such as pagoda, school, Holy See, monastic, relic are presented fully in ESIA report. Those site-specific mitigation measure will be put in construction contractor including ECOPs and mitigation measures for each type of works. 49. Mitigation measures for accumulative impacts: carrying out fully mitigation measures proposed in ESIA report will partly mitigate accumulative impacts for CCSEP project C. Mitigation measures to control pollution during operation phase 50. The locations are considered to propose mitigation measures for controlling pollution during operation phase such as Nhon Binh WWTP, A-4 cell in Long My landfill. Those mitigation measures include: waste sludge treatment, discharge incident, leaking chemical, odor treatment, firefighting. For the other works, mitigation measures mainly are: checking and periodic maintenance and periodic dredging for culvert system. 21 Executive summary of ESIA for CCSEP project –Quy Nhon city subproject CHAPTER 6: ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN 51. On the basis of the assessment of negative impacts presented in Chapter 4 and the measures of impact mitigation recommended in Chapter 5, this Chapter will present the Coastal Cities Sustainable Environment Project ( CCSEP)- Quy Nhon city Sub-project. The Environmental Management Program will identify the activities/actions to be implemented in the city of Quy Nhon Sub-project, including the environmental monitoring program and its implementation schedule, taking into account the compliance with the provisions of the Government's EIA and safety policies of the World Bank (WB). 6.1 Environmental Management Program 52. To ensure that all sources of pollution arising from the Project activities during the preparation stage and the construction stage as well as in the operation period will not cause any negative impacts on the environment and public health, it is compulsory that the management, monitoring and supervision of environmental quality be executed in a scientific, systematic and regular manner. 53. ESMP’s mitigation measures are divided into 3 basic parts: (1) ECOPs, (2) mitigation measures for the Project’s components, and (3) site-specific mitigation measures for each location of the Project’s items. 54. The first, this ECOP will outline impacts of a typically low level which may occur in a series of project construction operations. An ECOP includes measures to mitigate those impacts and is a procedure to be integrated into contractors’ construction contracts. The mitigation measures in this ECOP will be developed and integrated into all the construction contracts under this Project. Typical common impacts which will be minimized by mitigation measures defined in ECOP include: (1) Dust, exhaust gases, noise and vibration; (2) wastewater management; (3) Solid waste management; (4) Hazardous waste; (5) Water pollution management; (6) Impacts on aquatic species and terrestrial ecology; (7) Management of impacts on urban landscape and beauty; (8) Management measures of sedimentation, erosion and flooding; (9) Subsidence and slide management; (10) Traffic safety management; (12) Management of impacts on social activities; (13) Management of impacts on cultural and religious works; (14) Measures to secure community health and safety; (15) Measures to secure worker’s health and safety. 55. The second, Mitigation measures for project’s components will describe specific mitigation measures for the Project’s components and are included in the contracts for corresponding packages. 56. The third, All those impacts specific to each position of the Project of which mitigation measures are not included in the general ECOPs or take place at a level that necessitates other measures. 57. Measures to mitigate impacts from land acquisition and resettlement are mentioned separately in the Resettlement Plan (RP) and those measures will be carried out and supervised separately. 6.2. Implementation organization structure and roles of stakeholders 58. Below summarize the roles and responsibilities of the key parties and their relationships regarding the implementation of the EMP. - PMU is responsible for implementing the EMP during the detailed design and construction stages. EMP implementation during operation stage is the responsibility of the facilities operators. PMU will set up an Environmental and 22 Executive summary of ESIA for CCSEP project –Quy Nhon city subproject Social Unit (ESU) to ensure timely and effective implementation of the EMP, including preparation of reports on safeguard compliance as required by the Vietnamese Government and WB. - Contractors will be responsible for implementing mitigation measures. These measures will be included in bidding documents and their costs are to be included in construction bid packages; - CSC will be responsible for monitoring the day-to-day implementation of mitigation measures. Related costs are included in the CSC service contract; - IEMC will be responsible for overall environmental monitoring which includes support to the PMU in implementing environmental supervision and monitoring, and responsible for reporting on the implementation through monitoring reports 59. The PMU will prepare reports twice per year for submission to the World Bank, including the compliance with the EMP. The report will contain the monitoring results and assessments of the IEMC that show project progress and the state of implementation of the EMP. 6.3. Environmental monitoring program 60. It is essential to design the monitoring program and monitoring frequency appropriately to be able to record both the overall performance of the project works as well as the short-term impact due to construction activities. The environmental monitoring program will be implemented during the pre-construction and construction phases at 3 levels.  Monitoring the level of compliance with mitigation measures,  Community-based monitoring, and  Monitoring the environmental parameters set out in the EIAs 6.4. Plan of improving capacity and environmental management capacity 61. Training programs will be developed and implemented by a team of Technical Assistance for the implementation of safety policies for PMU. PMU / IEMC with the help of the Technical Assistance Team will provide training for contractors, CSC and other groups 62. The scope of the technical assistance would cover support from experts and training that would cover both the knowledge on safeguards requirements and procedures for the project as well as training that covers both specific knowledge on safeguard procedures and requirement for the project staff, consultants, and national contractor would be important. This would include, for example, assistance in the preparation of documents and implementation of training program on environmental management and environmental monitoring for contractors, CSC and relevant staffs of PMU (environmental staffs and coordinators of packages) to do their tasks. It would also include assisting the PMU’s environmental staff with the review of contract documents on the bidding packages for construction items of the project to ensure compliance with environmental protection policies and impact mitigation and monitoring requirements as well as provide general environmental guidance as requested by the PMU to enhance overall project implementation and performance 23 Executive summary of ESIA for CCSEP project –Quy Nhon city subproject 6.5. Total Estimates 63. The following table provides a cost estimate for the implementation of environmental management plan (EMP). The cost of EMP1 implementation will include (i) the costs of implementing mitigation measures by the contractor, (ii) expenses supervised by CSC, (iii) cost of the independent environmental monitoring consultant (IEMC), (iv) the costs of environmental quality monitoring, (v) the cost of safety management for the PMU, including both technical assistance in implementing safety policies and training programs. The costs of implementing mitigation measures during construction will be a part of the value of construction contracts, while the costs for a site-specific environmental monitoring plan (SEMP) by the construction supervision consultant (CSC) will be provided in construction supervision contracts. The costs of the PMU operations relating to EMP are allocated from the project management budget of the PMU, including safety training programs, and basic allowances to participants in the monitoring programs. 64. The following table provides the estimated costs for environmental quality monitoring and IEMC (in accordance with national practices) for reference purposes. However, final costs will be updated in the detailed design phase. Table 6-1.
