Environmental Impact Assessment 5 Summary Introduction The Vietnam Urban Upgrading Project (VUUP) aims to upgrade low-income communities in four cities, namely Ho Chi Minh, Hai Phong, Nam Dinh, and Can Tho. The VUUP will provide basic infrastructure and services improvements (referred to as tertiary infrastructure) to low-income communities already identified in the cities. To ensure that the tertiary infrastructure provided is able to operate effectively and to its optimum, critical primary and secondary infrastructure (referred to as trunk infrastructure) is also to be provided as part of the VUUP. According to the Terms of Reference for Phase 1 of Vietnam Urban Upgrading Project Nam Dinh City Sub-Project Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) documentation corresponds to the World Bank safeguard policies OP 4.01 on Environmental Assessment and OP 4.11 on Physical Cultural Resources where the concerns of impacts on cultural structures are triggered and the Vietnamese Law on Environmental Protection (December 27, 1993) and Decree No. 175-CP (October 18, 1994). The EIA documentation also gives broad picture on environmental condition in the project areas of all the three phases and specifies.guidance to the preparation of EIA documentations for phases 2 and 3. Objectives and Principles The objectives of the Vietnam Urban Upgrading Project are as follows: - Alleviate poverty in urban areas by improving the living and environmental conditions of the urban poor - Promote the participatory planning methods for urban upgrading to meet the people's demand - Use multi-sector approach with communities' consultation in implementation process of upgrading programs. The most important principle of the project is to active community participation in all stages of preparation, design and implementation processes. The residents, who are living in the project area, will have the right to participate in and benefit from the project as well as contribute to the upgrading works. Scope of the Project To the Project includes the following six components: - Component 1: Tertiary Infrastructure Upgrading - Component 2: Primary and Secondary Infrastructure - Component 3: Resettlement Housing - Component 4: Land and Housing Management - Component 5: Housing Improvement Loan Program - Component 6: Capacity Building Environmental Impact Assessment has been prepared for Component 1, 2 and 3. Component 1 Tertiary Infrastructure Upgrading is focusing on upgrading and rehabilitating tertiary infrastructure, which is located in low-income areas and serves the needs of people to improve their living conditions. Component 2 Primary and December 2003 Vietnam Urban Upgrading Project Nam Dinh City Sub-Project Volume 2C: Final Environmental Impact Assessment 6 Secondary Infrastructure is including upgrading of some roads and construction of drainage system and street lighting along the roads; and upgrading of Main Ring Canal and construction of Quan Chuot pumping station and sluice way. Component 3 Resettlement Housing is including construction of resettlement site. Selection of Alternatives If the upgrading of tertiary infrastructure in the low-income areas will not be implemented deterioration of the structures will continue and even speed up causing more serious problems for water supply, drainage and traffic; and hinders for economic development of the area. Living conditions of the people are already now almost unbearable and the situation will become worse if no improvement will happen. Based on the community requirements mentioned in the socio-economic survey and found out during the preparation of community upgrading plans, the consultant prepared several upgrading options with different investment cost, service level and different influences for community consideration and selection. The options were selected for upgrading tertiary infrastructure in Van Mieu ward including: 1) Main roads in residential area (width 3.5 - 5 m); 2) Access roads and alleys; 3) Ground levelling to prevent flooding; 4) Branch sewer along access roads and alleys; 5) Main drains along the main roads; 6) Public lighting; 7) Public toilet; and 8) Solid waste transfer stations. Options for upgrading primary and secondary infrastructure in Van Mieu ward include 9) Roads and 10) Drainage along the roads. Construction of primary and secondary infrastructure are according to the City Master Plan and Drainage Master Plan. It has been decided that discharge from the Main Ring Canal (T3-1 1) would be done to the Red River to protect the raw water intake in the Dao River. People's committee announce that WB PMUJ- Nam Dinh City is allowed to survey and start procedure for resettlement investment. Location of resettlement area is Tram Ca area in Van Mieu ward and Loc An commune in Nam Dinh City. The available area is in Van Mieu ward 15,OOOm2 and in Bai Vien area 59,000m2. Environmental Impacts In Nam Dinh City, as well as in other cities, the urban poor are usually living in low- income area where infrastructure is degraded and environment polluted. These factors complicate to get good and permanent job and lead easily to employment. Because the poor have low income level they cannot afford to improve infrastructure and living conditions themselves. T his c auses that the I iving c ondition o f the p oor w ill d egrade even more and the vicious circle is difficult to break. With the investment on upgrading infrastructure in low-income area it is possible to assists the urban poor to improve their living conditions, health situation, possibility to find job and to reduce poverty. In Van Mieu ward existing environmental conditions in low-income area fail to achieve the environmental quality standards required by the Government policy and legislation. In order to achieve the long-term benefits, the project is expected to generate short-term adverse impacts, particularly during the construction stage due to the proposed scale of Tn-PmhPr 900(f Vietnam Urban Upgrading Project Nam Dinh City Sub-Project Volume 2C: Final Environmental Impact Assessment 7 the interventions. However, the majority of adverse construction phase impacts can be mitigated through: - The incorporation of appropriate contract conditions that define operating procedures to be adopted by contractors - Maintaining an effective consultation process that ensures effective participation of community (primary stakeholder) level in implementing the Community Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) and Environmental Management Plan (EMP) - Ensuring the project management framework provides coherent decision making about defined actions in the event of non-compliance Almost 12,200 residents in Van Mieu ward can get direct socio-economic and environmental benefits through provision of public utilities, services and infrastructure. The n umber o f i ndirect b eneficiaries i n t he s urrounding a reas c an be estimated to be several thousands. Initial indications are that the discharge of effluent through Main Ring Canal (T3-1 1) canal will have no significant effect on the Red River water quality and will not cause problems at the water treatment works. However, as a part of the detailed design more detailed water quality modelling is recommended to determine the impact to ensure more effective dilutionr and assimilation. Mitigation Measures Mitigation measures are given for each component during design, construction and operation. Most of the needed mitigation measures are needed during construction. Impact Mitigation Measures during Construction Noise, Odour, The maximum permitted noise level is given in the Vietnamese standard TCVN 5949-1998. The Litter and strongest limitations are from 10 pm to 6 am in the vicinity of hospitals, libraries and kindergartens Dust where maximum noise level is 40 dB. Air quality and dust emissions are mitigated through dust suppression measures compliance with TCVN 5937-1995 To minimise the odour nuisance especially the dredging works have to be carried out during dry season. Appropriate equipment has to be used to prevent overloading of trucks. Accidental spills, sludge, oils and lubricants from equipment etc. have to be absorbed and collected immediately. In the construction site dust, litter and public inconvenience has to be minimised by good construction management and site supervision. It is recommended to sprinkle the street in the vicinity of construction sites to minimise dust. Solid and liquid wastes should be collected to transfer stations established to the construction sites and transported to the landfill. Waste and disposal of excavated material are disposed at the sites, which are agreed with URENCO. Health and The Contractor is responsible to provide appropriate equipment, tools and protective clothing to the Safety workers and ensure that appropriate working methods are applied. During dredging and transportation of dredged material the Contractor has to follow strictly safety and health regulations. The dredging has to be organised so that the need to go to the water is minimised. Special attention has to be paid to avoid the direct contact with sludge. The Contractor has to provide protective clothing including at least overall, Wellington boots and gloves. A possibility to proper washing with clean water has to be arranged during and after the working. Clean water and first aid kit has to be available to wash and treat the possible cuts and wounds. Traffic and All works have to carried out so that not to interfere unnecessarily the public and prevent the access to Transportation use public or private roads and footpaths to or of properties. Arrangements The Contractor has to select transportation routes, choose vehicles and distribute loads so that the transportation from and to the site shall be limited as far as reasonably possible. The Contractor has to use every reasonable means to prevent any of the roads and bridges from being damaged by the works. December 2003 Vietnam Urban Upgrading Project Nam Dinh City Sub-Project Volume 2C: Final Environimental Impact Assessment 8 Transportation The nuisance caused by transportation of materials and especially dredged sludge has to be minimised of Dredged by arranging transportation and construction on busy main streets only outside rush hours and in narrow Sludge and streets in residential areas only during the day. The transportation has to be avoided between 10 pm and Material 6 am and is allowed only on the request of traffic police. Careful planning of dredging, excavation, construction and transportation schedules, and planning and selection of routes, as well as choice of transportation vehicles will minimise dust. Loads have to be covered tightly to minimise spread of dust and preventing dropping of material from the loads to the roads. Workinig In all construction works local working time and site arrangements and instructions concerning site Time and Site clearance, fencing, watching and lighting, working at night etc. given in Contract Documents have to be Arrangements followed up. Public The district PMU shall announce the construction works and new traffic arrangements during Relations constructions works to the public regionally in newspapers, TV and radio. Locally the announcement is given to the ward representatives who will inform the residents. Loudspeakers can be used during the construction works to give the latest information in concerning areas. Implementation Organisation Project Management Unit (PMU) will carry out conduction and management of the project according to the regulations of the Government such as bidding process, control of time schedules, financial issues and quality control. To the PMU include director, deputy directors, chief accountant, specialist of planning, construction, finance, law and environment, and administrative staff. PMU has the main responsibility of the implementation and monitoring of the CEMP and EMP. The daily monitoring will be done in the community level, but PMU will be in charge of the sampling and analysing, which might be needed and reporting. PMU has carried out preparation of the whole project and sub-projects. However, in order to ensure good implementation of the project, the capacity of PMU should be improved. This task is an important part of Component 6.

The list of parameters is only proposal and the final content can be modified according to the needs during the construction and operation. Environmental Training Training how to implement monitoring of the environmental issues of the project will be given to different target groups according to the needs. - PMU: Person(s) in charge of environmental issues will be trained to supervise environmental monitoring and reporting - Contractors: will be trained how to monitor implementation of mitigation measures and how to fill mitigation monitoring reports - Communities: Community representatives will be trained to do the on-site observing and monitoring of the upgrading activities during construction and operation. Parameters to be observed i.e. dust, noise and tidiness of streets and solid waste transfer stations and observation sites will be selected together with the representatives of the PMU and the communities based on the proposed monitoring programme. The training programs will be included into Component 6. Community participation Plan on upgrading infrastructure including tertiary infrastructure (component 1) and related primary and secondary infrastructure (component 2) were done with active participation of communities. The communities have participated with Consultant during project preparation including: - Defining problems on infrastructure and environment that the public faces - Defining orientation and priority to solve such problems - Choosing technical methods to overcome and improve infrastructure - Discussing on investment scale, technical measures, assigning responsibility of contribution on investment cost, operation and maintenance fee - Discussing on assigning management responsibility, operation, monitoring to ensure effective activities of improved infrastructure To promote the participation of communities in the project, the consultant has developed planning groups, planning teams including representative of authority, non- governmental organizations and representatives of resident in the area. The consultant has trained and assisted them on communication skills and knowledge on preparation of plan for investment project. The planning group included 46 people and divided into 2 levels. Based on selection of the planning group, planning teams and communities, the consultant studied and adjusted the plans suitably. The points due to technical requirements, which can't adjust to meet requirement of a part of community were exchanged a nd w ere r eturned t o f inal d ecision b y c onsultant a nd p lanning g roup a nd after that they were once again reported and explain to community.

The Vietnamese version of the executive summary of EIA report was disclosed in Van Mieu ward including to the project in Phase 1 in accordance with the instruction by the Nam Dinh P eople's Committee in November 2003. At the same time the full text of the first draft EIA report was available at PMU office and inforned to the project affected households. The Vietnamese final draft EA documents were displayed in the same places from December 20, 2003. The final draft EA documents will replace the current display in InfoShop and VDIC at the World Bank Vietnam office in Hanoi. The public consultation meeting was organised on December 8, 2003 in Van Mieu ward. In the meeting the participants supported the project and were ready to co-operate with PMU and contractor. The general opinion was that the construction works should be started as soon as possible and the works should be done parallel. It was also requested that the PMU should inform in advance the construction time and the contractor should discuss with the communities about the content and location of the works and keep the agreed construction schedule. Communities were willing to participate in supervising and monitoring of the construction works. Vietnam Urban Upgrading Project Nam Dinlh City Sub-Project Volume 2C: Final Environmental Impact Assessment 2 1 INTRODUCTION AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION 1.1 Background of the Project Vietnam's cities have rapid growing populations, and infrastructure and utility service investments have lagged far behind demand. Low-income areas have developed, and are continuing to develop, in an ad-hoc unplanned manner with little infrastructure and services. This creates environmental and health hazards for their residents and the city at large. New, innovative and low cost approaches are thus required to address Vietnam's growing urbanization challenges. Realizing this, the Government of Vietnam has requested donor assistance to prepare a national program to upgrade low-income communities. Preparatory studies funded through the Cities Alliance have been completed to help develop a National Urban Upgrading Program. The Ministry of Planning and Investment has requested the World Bank to support a Vietnam Urban Upgrading Project (VUUP) as the first major project in the national program. The VUUP aims to upgrade low-income communities in four cities, namely Ho Chi Minh, Hai Phong, Nam Dinh, and Can Tho (Drawing 1). The VUUP will provide basic infrastructure and services improvements (referred to hereafter as tertiary infrastructure) to low-income commurrities already identified in the cities. To ensure that the tertiary infrastructure provided is able to operate effectively and to its optimum, critical primary and secondary infrastructure (referred to hereafter as trunk infrastructure) is also to be provided as part of the VUUP. It is anticipated that a number of families will have to be unavoidably resettled, and therefore social housing and/or basic serviced sites for housing will be provided (referred to hereafter as housing developments). The combination of investment for tertiary and trunk infrastructure, and housing developments in each city will be referred to hereafter as the city's sub-project. In each city, the sub-project is divided into two or three phases, each of which will be implemented over a 2-3 year period. Phase 1 will be prepared before the project is presented to the World Bank's Board and Phases 2 and 3 will be prepared during project implementation. 1.2 Environmental Impact Assessment of the Project According to the Terms of Reference (Annex 1) for Phase 1 of Vietnam Urban Upgrading Project - Narn Dinh City Sub-Project Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) documentation corresponds to the World Bank safeguard policies OP 4.01 on Environmental Assessment and OP 4.11 on Physical Cultural Resources where the concerns of impacts on cultural structures are triggered and the Vietnamese Law on Environmental Protection (December 27, 1993) and Decree No. 175-CP (October 18, 1994). The EIA documentation also gives broad picture on environmental condition in the project areas of all the three phases and specifies guidance to the preparation of EIA documentations for phases 2 and 3. Phase 1 EIA will be prepared before the project is presented to the World Bank's Board and EIA documentation for Phases 2 and 3 will be prepared during project implementation according to the Environmental Safeguards Framework described in Volume 3. tpcprn,hpr )lnn Vietnam Urban Upgrading Project Nam Dinhl City Sub-Project Volume 2C: Final Environmental Impact Assessment 3 The environmental documentation has the following structure: - Volume 1: Executive Environmental Assessment and RAP Summary - Volume 2: City-specific ELAs - Volume 2A: Ho Chi Minh City Sub-Project - Volume 2B: Haiphong City Sub-Project - Volume 2C: Nam Dinh City Sub-Project - Volume 2D: Can Tho City Sub-Project - Volume 3: Environmental Safeguards Framework for Phase 2 and 3 The city-specific EIA is including: 1) EIA, 2) EMP, 3) Public Consultation and Disclosure, and 4) Annexes.

Vietnam Urban Upgrading Project Nam Dinh City Sub-Project Volume 2C: Final Environmental Impact Assessment 7 2 ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES AND LEGISLATION 2.1 Environmental Management National Assembly has approved the government's proposal to create the Ministry for Natural Resources and Environment (MONRE) by decision 02/2002/QH1 1 on August 5, 2002. Decree No 86/2002/ND-CP on November 5, 2002 provides in general functions, tasks, powers and organisation structure of the ministry and ministerial agencies. Decree No 91/2002/ND-CP on the functions, tasks, powers and organisational structure of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment has been given on November 11, 2002. The new ministry will co-operate with the General Department of Land Administration, the General Hydro-Meteorology Department and e nvironmental offices that now operate under the Ministry of Science, Technology and Environment. MONRE is a government body to exercise the state function of management over the land, water resources, minerals, environment, meteorology, hydrogeography, measuring and mapping in the national scope; exercise the governance over the public services and represent the owner of state capital in enterprises using state budgets relating to natural resources of land, water, minerals, environment, meteorology, hydrogeography, measuring and mapping specified by laws. Concerning environment the tasks and authorities are as follows: - Direct and supervise the implementation of the regulations and measures for the protection of the environment, the programs and projects on the prevention of combat and overcoming the degradation and pollution, enviromnental break-down as assigned by the governnent - Uniformly manage the national environmental monitoring system; summarise and treat data resulted from environmental monitoring and regularly assess the environment; forecast the environmental changes - Appraise environmental impact assessment reports of the projects and business, and production units; regulate environmental standards and unifornly manage the licensing, restoring the environmental standards satisfied certificates according to the regulations of the laws; - Mobilise the donor resources, receive the investment capital from the State to support programmes, projects, activities and tasks to protect the environment and manage the utilization of Vietnam Environmental Protection Fund. 2.2 Environmental Law, Decree and Standards In Vietnam, the basic national environmental policy is based on the Law on Organisation of the Government (September 30, 1992), the Law on Environmental Protection (December 27, 1993) and the Decree No. 175-CP (October 18, 1994). According to the Decree 91/2002/ND-CP under MONRE has been established among many other departments Environmental Impact Assessment and Appraisal department. The EIA can, however, be appraised by the local DONRE based on their knowledge of local conditions and further be delivered to PC for approval, if delegated by MONRE. There are no specific stipulations in the law and decree concerning approval of EMP. MOSTE has published 1 995, 1 998, 1 999, 2000 and 2001 Vietnamese Environmental Standards, and standardisation work is in progress. From now on MONRE will continue the work. In - cases, where the applicable Vietnamese standard is inadequate, not fln,1fmht-r 9003 Vietnam Urban Upgrading Project Nam Dinh City Sub-Project Volume 2C: Final Environmental Impact Assessment 8 regulated or applicable, project agencies must obtain MONREs approval for the use of equivalent standards of the countries that have provided the technology and equipment to Vietnam, or apply equivalent standard from a third country. The most relevant environmental related laws, standards and regulations are listed in Volume 3: Environ-mental Safeguards Framework of the Project. 2.3 World Bank Guidelines The environmental impact assessment study for the sanitation project was designed to evaluate its status with respect to all applicable World Bank environmental and social policies and guidelines. During the EA process for this project, a review of World Bank environmental and social policies was carried out with respect to their relevance to this project. The policies directly relevant to this project are Environmental Assessment (OP 4.01), Cultural Property (OP 4.11) and Involuntary Resettlement (OD 4.30). The specific World Bank guidelines that were identified as being applicable to this project are Environmental Assessment Sourcebook, Volume I and II (1991) and Pollution Prevention and Abatement Handbook 1997. For all Category A projects proposed for IBRD or IDA financing, during the EA process, the borrower consults project-affected groups and local nongovernmental organisations (NGOs) about the project's environmental aspects and takes their vies into account. For Category A projects, the borrower consults these groups at least twice: shortly after environmental screening and before the terms of reference for the EA is finalised; and once the draft EA report is prepared. For meaningful consultations between the borrower and project-affected groups and local NGOs on all Category A projects for IBRD or IDA financing, the borrower provides relevant material in a timely manner prior to consultation and in a form and language that are understandable and accessible to the groups being consulted. For a Category A project, the borrower provides for the initial consultation a summary of the proposed project's objectives, description, and potential impacts; for consultation after the draft EA report is prepared, the borrower provides a summary of the EA's conclusions. In addition, for a Category A project, the borrower makes draft EA report available at a public place accessible to project-affected groups and local NGOs. Once the borrower officially transmits the Category A EA Report to the Bank, the Bank distributes the summary (in English) to the executive directors (EDs) and makes the report available through its InfoShop. If the borrower objects to the Bank's releasing an EA report through its InfoShop, Bank staff (a) do not continue processing an IDA project or (b) for EBRD project, submit the issue of further processing to the EDs. flPrPm1-pr 9OO1 Vietnam Urban Upgrading Project Nam Dinh City Sub-Project Volume 2C: Final Environmental Impact Assessment 9 3 BASELINE DATA 3.1 Location Nam Dinh city is located on the left junction of the Red River and the Dao River, about 90km the southeast from Hanoi. Nam Dinh City has been upgraded to a secondary city and urban town of Nam Dinh province. The coordinates of Nam Dinh City are from 20027'35" to 20023'33" of northern latitude and from 10601 1'15" to 106°07'05" of easterm longitude. The city is adjacent to My Loc on the north, Nam Truc ward on the south, My Loc ward and the Red River on the east, My Loc ward and Vu Ban on the west. Total natural area of the whole city is 4,545 ha, of which 853 ha is urban area. The city is divided into 15 wards and 7 communes. In the 15 urban wards there are 143 population areas (mien) and 1,600 population groups (to). More detailed background data of Nam Dinh City is presented in Annex 3. 3.2 Climate Conditions Nam Dinh City is including to the monsoon climate of Northern delta. Table 3.1 Climate Condition in Nam Dinh Temperature Average annual temperature + 23.70C Average temperature in surnmer + 27.80C Average temperature in winter + 19.50C Humidity Average annual humidity 84% Maximum relative humidity 94% Minimum relative humidity 65% Rainfall Average annual rainfall 1,830 mm Highest daily rainfall 350 mm Wind Average wind-flow 2.4m/s Wind-direction In summer: Southeast and in winter: North 3.3 Topography and Soil Conditions Nam Dinh City is located in the Red River Delta with low and rather plane topography, average elevation is 0.5 to 4.0 m from the sea level and elevation in the urban area is from 3 to 4m. Underground construction is often heightened froml to 1.5m. Rice fields are on elevation of 0.5 to 1.5m. Areas where elevation is less than 2.Om are often flooded during heavy rains. The dyke on the left bank of the Dao River has been constructed to the height of +6.50m. There is no geological survey material from the whole Nam Dinh City, but based on the existing about 200 boreholes drilled for construction works, it can estimated that soil layers from top to bottom are as follows: cover layer; mud-mixed clay layer; soil-mixed sand layer; mud-mixed c lay 1 ayer; s oil-mixed s and 1 ayer; m ud-mixed c lay 1 ayer; c lay layer; mud-mixed clay layer; and soil-mixed sand layer This is a typical soil layer system with low resistance (less than lkg/cm2). Groundwater level is at the level -0.7m from the ground. Vietnam Urban Upgrading Project Nam Dinh City Sub-Project Volume 2C: Final Environmental Impact Assessment I 0 3.4 Population and Socio-Economic Environment in Nam Dinh City 3.4.1 Population At the end of 2001 the city population was 232,304 people of which 113,085 were male (48.7%) and 119,218 female (51.3%). 170,003 people lived in urban (73.2%) area and 62,300 people lived in suburban area (about 26.8%). In 2001 the birth rate was 1.24%, mortality rate was 0.43% and demographic increasing rate was 0.81%. Population of Nam Dinh City tends to decrease because the rate of migration is rather high. According to the City Master Plan the population forecast Nam Dinh City is as follows: Table 3.2 Population forecast Criteria Unit Actual Planning situation 2001 2005 2020 Total population of the city Person 232,304 290,000 375,000 Rate of population growth %/year 0.2 1.7 1.7 National growth rate of population %/year 0.81 1.3 1.1 Mechanical growth rate of population %/year -0.61 0.4 0.6 Urban population Person 170,003 240,000 330,000 Rate of population growth %/year 0.1 2.1 1.9 National growth rate of population %/year 1.10 1.0 0.7 Mechanical growth rate of population %/year -1.0 1.1 1.2 Urbanized population in suburb in the period person 15,000 10,000 3.4.2 City Budget and Financing The city's budget is formed from taxes, duties and mostly subsides from the provincial budget. Total expenditure from the budget in 2000 was 23.709 billion VND, of which 15.512 billion VND (65% of total expenditure) was subsided from the provincial budget. In 2001 the province authorized expenditure for education and the total expenditure fromthebudgetwas49.747billion VND, of which 38.766 billion VND (about 78% of total expenditure) was subsided from the provincial budget. At the ward/commune l evel expenditure w as 8.371 b illion VND i n 2 000 and 1 1.815 billion VND in 2001. GDP in 2000 for the whole city was 1,225billion VND, of which 51.2 billion VND (about 4.2%) was of agro-forestry and fishery products, 595.6 billion (about 48.6%) of industrial construction, 578.5 billion VND (about 47.2%) of services. Income per capita in 2001 was 3,658,000 VND and average expenditure per capital in the same year was 3,520,000 VND. 3.4.3 Economical and Social Activities and Services Nam Dinh City is an industrial and commercial centre of the whole area. Besides 114 enterprises and cooperatives, there are about 1 ,700 individual trading households. To the industrial sector includes: - Textile and garment industry - Industry of processing meat, seafood, fruits and drinks - Industry of processing wood, woollen carpets and jute fibre - Ship building industry - Handicraft T)ereniher 9003 Vietnam Urban Upgrading Project Nam Dinh City Sub-Project Volume 2C: Final Environmental Impact Assessment 11 The textile and garment industry has a main role in the economy and production is mostly for export. In the branch there were in 1990 about 54,000 workers. For the time being there are about 27,000 workers. The foodstuff industry is mostly for export (frozen shrimp and meat). Bier production is mostly for local consumption. At present, there are two small shipyards, whichl capacity is to construct 600 tonnage ships and there are about 300 workers. GDP proportions of construction and industry manufacture of the total GDP of the city is 48.6% (596 billion VND from total 1,225 billion VND) Agricultural production has concentrated on the suburb communes with the majority proportion is agricultural plants. People also raise livestock. GDP proportion of agriculture from the total GDP of city in 2000 was 4.2% (52 billion VND from 1,225 billion VND). The more urbanization of the city is, the less there is agricultural land in use because of utilization of the land for industrial construction and urban development. In 2000 GDP proportion in trade and service accounts for 47.2% from the total GDP proportion of the city (579 billion VND from 1,225 billion VND). The city has two big commercial centres and many other business establishments along the roads and residential areas. Potential tourism and, services are also considered. Over the last few years, economic activities of the city have been developed comparatively. However, with rapid regional and global development the development rate of the city has not fulfilled the set tasks. The economic development rate is rather low, competitiveness capacity is weak therefore risk of backwardness is increasing. This mainly results from low investment capacity and that the city has not attracted foreign investment. Degraded infrastructure i s o ne r eason f or w eak i nvestment a ttraction a nd low domestic source of investment. Education system is including one part-time university, 11 colleges and vocational high schools on the city area. There are 26 kindergartens, 21 primary schools, 18 junior secondary schools and 9 secondary schools. There are one provincial-level cultural centre, one city-level cultural centre, three cinemas and two libraries on the city area. There are one stadium, one swimming pool and three centres of training gymnasts. On the whole city area ther.e are 35 health units, including one big general hospital at the provincial level, 9 general hospitals, 1 prevention and advocacy health centre, 4 regional clinics and 22 health stations at the commune/ward level with total 1,320 patient beds. Substantially, the health unit system has met demands for public health care. However, it should be noted that health units at ward level lack of necessary equipment and facilities. Some health stations at ward level have no specific address and they have to be located at other agencies, which influences to the service quality. Vietnam Urban Upgrading Project Nam Dinh City Sub-Project Volume 2C: Final Environmental Impact Assessment 12 4 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING OF PROJECT AREA 4.1 General The available environmental data is very limited and there is no proper long-term monitoring data available. However, it can be estimated that the open drainage channels, through which also wastewater is discharged to recipient water bodies, are heavily polluted because there is no wastewater treatment system. The natural water area in the inner city area is very limited, there area only some man-made ponds, which water quality is not known. In general the streets and markets are not very clean and it seems that solid waste management is inadequate, causing serious environmental and health risk. Inside city there are some 10-12m high trees along the roads and in some parks, which are mostly almond tree, flamboyant and nacre. Outside city there are some forest used for wood processing with trees such as nacre and eucalyptus; and fruit trees s uch a s longan, orange, lemon and grapefruit. The main agricultural plants are rice and different kind of vegetables. There are no endangered plans or animals in the project area. 4.2 Water and air quality in Van Mieu ward The city is located on the junction of the Red River and the Dao River. These are two main rivers have influence to the hydrographical regime of the city. In addition, there are some small 3 0-5Om w ide r ivers c ombined w ith t he d yke s ystem t o form a d ense hydrographical system, which serves irrigation and urban activities. Water and air quality samples have been taken for the needs of the VUUP. The detailed data for Components 1 and 3 is presented in Annex 4 and for Component 2 in Annex 5.

Wastewater flow i n dry s eason i s approximately 1,000 m3/day and in rainy season is approximately 70,200 m3/day including wastewater and rainwater from designed rain with return period of 10 years. A box sewer with size 2.2m x 2m is planned to be constructed along the Ninh Binh road for drain water from Van Mieu ward to Kenh Gia canal at the Gia Bridge. Water quality of the Kenh Gia canal at the Gia Bridge, sampling point M4 on the map in Annex 5 and Drawing 16 is presented in table below. 4.3 Water Quality of Kenh Gia Canal at Gia Bridge on November 19, 2003 No. Parameter Unit TCVN 5942:1995 B Value (M4) Kenh Gia canal at Gia Bridge 1 pH - 5.5 -9 7.8 2 Suspended solid Mg/l 80 208 3 Total solid Mg/l - 228 4 BOD5, 20°C Mg/l < 25 28.1 5 NO3- Mg/l 11.6 6 PO43- Mg/i - 4.3 7 Coliform MNP/lOOml 10,000 76,000 The analysed results indicate domestic pollution.

It rained heavily two days before the sampling in August and it rained also during the sampling. Heavy rain might have flushed polluting substances to the canal and/or mixed the bottom sediment, which might explain why the results are worse in August than in November, although due to the bigger flow the dilution should be bigger in August. In November the BOD concentrations almost fulfil the limits of Surface Water Standard Class B. In August the concentrations are higher and especially the number of indicator bacteria is high. Until now in dry season water from T3-11 canal had been discharged to the Vinh Giang River at Cau Oc and in rainy season water has been discharged to the Dao River at Phu Long village in My Tan commune. In future water from T3-11 canal will be discharged to the Red River in both seasons. Water quality at the existing discharging points in the Dao River (sample N5), the Red River (sample N2) and the Vinh Giang River (sample N3) and in the Do Lake (sample N4) is presented in table below.

The number of indicator bacteria is high only in the Do Lake in November. High concentration of suspended solids depends on the surrounding soil. According to the analysed sample the concentration of dissolved oxygen is very good. Sediment samples have been taken from T3-11 canal in August and in November 2003. There is no Vietnamese sediment quality standard, but compared with the European limits for agricultural use or landscaping the analysed lead (Pb) results are well below the limits 150 mg/kg and 300 mg/kg, respectively. The limits for nickel (Ni) are 100 mg/kg and 250 mg/kg. Based on these few analysing results and land use of the surrounding areas there is no need to request any treatment of the sludge.

With construction of the new Quan Chuot Pumping Station, all effluent from pumping operations will be discharged to the Red River. This evaluation considers the impact of that discharge to the receiving stream. The evaluation looks at both the dry weather and wet weather flow conditions. This report combines the proposed operation procedures of the new Quan Chuot pump station with the biological characteristics of the pump station effluent and the Red River and the Dao River. The objective of the evaluation is to determine if there will be unacceptable e nvironmental c onsequences from d ischarging the pump station effluent into the Red River. 4.4.2 Background There is an existing pump station at Quan Chuot that mainly serves irrigation needs but also has pumped flow to the Dao River during wet weather conditions. The pump station has 20 pumps. The total capacity of the existing pump station is about 5.5 m3/s. During low flow periods, water is lifted from the T3-11 canal and discharged into the adjacent irrigation system, typically at a rate of less than 0.5 m3/s for one or two hours December 2003 Vietnam Urban Upgrading Project Nam Dinh City Sub-Project Volume 2C: Final Environmental Impact Assessment 16 per day (only one or two pumps operating at any given time). During the dry season there is no pump station discharge to the Dao River. Excess wastewater in the T3-11 canal flows away from the pump station and into the Vinh Giang River to the northwest of the city. During the wet weather conditions, the pump station operation changes from irrigation purposes to meet the needs of flood drainage. All pumps operate and a 250 m channel to the Dao River conveys the 5.5 m3/s discharge. The outfall of this channel is located about 1,280 m upstream from the Nam Dinh City's water supply intake. During wet weather conditions, the effluent from the existing Quan Chuot pump station is diluted and is not considered a health risk. The water in the T3-11 canal consists of combined wastewater and drainage flows. Future plans call for the separation of the wastewater from the drainage flows. However this process is probably 15 to 20 years into the future. The drainage systems in Nam Dinh City will continue to be combined for the near term future. A Drainage Master Plan has been prepared for the city. The plan divides the city's drainage into two sectors, the southwest and the northeast. A new pumping station at Quan Chuot is a primary feature of the drainage plan in the northeast sector. A requirement of the plan is that all flows (wet and dry weather) are conveyed to the Red River. The Master Plan consultants, Conseco, have determined that the design flow rate for lands tributary to the pump station is 15 m3/s. Clearly this exceeds the capacity of the existing pump station and a new station is required. The new Quan Chuot pump station project consists of a new pump station constructed adjacent to the existing facility. Each of the 15 screw type pumps will have a capacity of 1.2 m3/s. It is anticipated that up to 13 pumps can be in operation at any given time with two more on standby. The new pump station will draw water directly from the T3- 11 canal. The pump station will pump all wet and dry weather flows. The pumps will discharge into a 1,400 m channel connecting the pump station to the Red River. The capacity of the channel is 20.5 m3/s (15 m3/s from the new pump station and 5.5 m3/s from the existing structure). The proposed discharge point for the channel is in the Red River about 1,500 m upstream the junction with the Dao River. This junction is in turn about 3,100 m upstream from the city's water supply intake. 4.4.3 Water Quality Data The following water quality data has been used in the evaluation: Parameter Red River Dao River River width 400 m average 150 m average River depth Assume 2m below low water (MSL) Assume 2m below low water (MSL) Max water level +5.46 m above MSL (assume wet +4.81 m above MSL (assume wet season flood) season flood) Average water level +1.63 m Above MSL +1.52 m Above MSL Minimum water level +0.90 m below MSL (assume dry -0.10 m below MSL (assume dry season) season) Maximum flow 17,000 m3/s (assume wet season flood) 6,690 m3/s (assume wet season flood) Average flow 2,190 m3/s 890 m3/s Minimum flow 630 m3/s (assume dry season) 240 m3/s (assume dry season) BODs (12/22/1999) 1.6 mg/l (assume dry season) 2.6 mg/l (assume dry season) BOD5 (4/14/2000) 6.33 mg/l (assume wet season) 11 mg/I (assume wet season) BOD5 (8/2003) 18 mg/l (assume wet season) 14 mg/l (assume wet season) BOD5 (11/2003) 10 mg/l (assume dry season) 3.5 mg/l (assume dry season) Decemhfhr 2003 Vietnam Urban Upgrading Project Nam Dinh City Sub-Project Volume 2C: Final Environmental Impact Assessment 17 Data taken as part of the Environmental Sampling effort (11/19/2003) under the Phase 1, Component 2 Nam Dinh Sub-project for the VUULP Parameter Unit Red River Red River Dao River Dao River May 2002 Nov 2003 May 2002 Nov 2003 PH 7.4 7.5 7.22 7.7 DO mg/l 8.1 9.5 9.7 9.1 COD mg/l 20 33.3 25 40.6 BOD5 ( 20degC mg/l 14 3.5 38 10.1 Suspended Solids mg/I 203 215 536 217 Coliform MNP/ 7,000 7,200 9,000 7,300 1 OOml The data for the T3-11 canal (Quan Chuot pump station effluent) is: Parameter Unit T3-11 Canal T3-11 Canal Aug 2003 Nov 2003 Flow m3/day 1,296,000 31,000 m3/s 15 0.36 pH 7.0 7.5 DO mg/l 8.1 -- COD mg/l 308 -- BOD5 ( 20degC mg/l 78 24 Total Solids mg/l -- 198 Coliform MNP/lOOml 240,000 14,000 NO3 mg/l 22 8.2 P043 mg/l 2.5 3.8 Input Data Used for this Evaluation Parameter Unit Red River Dao River Pump Station Effluent Wet Weather Flow River Width m 400 150 --- River Elevation(l) m +1.63 +1.52 --- River Depth(2) m 3.63 3.52 --- Cross Section Area(3) m2 1450 530 --- River Flow(l) m3/s 2,190 890 20.5("I Flow Velocity( 4) m/s 2.6 1.7 DO mg/l 10 9 0 COD mg/l 35 40 0 BOD5 ( 20degC mg/l 4 10 25 Coliform MNP/lOOml 7,200 7,300 14,000 Dry Weather Flow River Width m 400 150 --- River Elevation(5) m +0.90 -0.10 River Depth(2) m 2.90 1.90 --- Cross Section Area(3) m2 1,160 285 --- River Flow(5) m3/s 630 240 2.4" Flow Velocity(4) m/s 0.5 0.8 --- DO mg/l 8 10 8 COD mg/l 20 25 310 BOD5 ( 20degC mg/l 15 38 80 Coliform MNP/IOOml 7,000 9,000 240,000 Notes: 1.

For dry weather condition, assume critical point occurs when receiving rivers are at minimum elevation and minimum flow values. 6. Assu,nes both the existing and new Quan Chuot pump stations are operating simultaneously. 7. Assume two pumps operating simultaneously. It is possible that an unusual storm event in the immediate vicinity of Nam Dinh would result in all 15 pumps operating during dry weather conditions. however, all pollutants would be greatly diluted in the pump station effluent and this is not considered as a critical environmental condition. 4.4.4 Dilution Analysis The capacity of a river to assimilate pollutants depends of two factors, dilution and biological processes. This analysis will look at both processes. The degree of dilution is largely dependent on the direct ratio of the flow rate in the receiving stream and in the source stream. For example, if the flow rate in the source stream 10 m3/s and the receiving stream is 100 m3/s, and the Dissolved Oxygen (DO) concentration in the source stream is 2 mg/l and in the receiving stream is 8 mg/l, then the DO concentration in the mixed flows is: 10 m3/s x 2 mg/l + 100 m3/s x 8 mg/l = 820 m3/s - mg/l = 7.45 mg/l 10m3/s + 100 m3/s 1 10 m3/s This example assumes fully mixed flow, which typically occurs about 8 channel width lengths downstream from a source that is entering from one bank. The width of the Red River averages about 400 m in the reach near the branch with the Dao River. Therefore it will take about 3,200 m for the source flow to be fully mixed with the Red River flow. The branch with the Dao River is only about 1,500 m downstream from the proposed Quan Chuot pump station discharge and is therefore not fully dispersed or mixed. Mixing will only extend about 175 m from the west bank at the point of the Dao River junction. Only about 45% of the Red River flow is involved in mixing at the junction or 1,700 m3/s for wet weather flow and 200 m3/s for dry weather flow. The calculated concentrations of the pollutants dispersed from the source point of the proposed Quan Chuot pump station outfall to the junction with the Dao River is: Parameter Unit Red River Red River Wet Red River Dry Red River Dry Wet Weather Weather At Dao Weather Before Weather At Dao Before Junction After Mixing Junction After Mixing Mixing Mixing DO mg/l 10.0 9.8 8.0 8.0 COD mg/l 35 34 20 22 BOD5 ( 20degC mg/l 4.0 4.4 15 16 Coliform MNP/ l00ml 7,200 7,400 7,000 8,960 It can bee seen from the table for the Red River that there is negligible impact from the injection of the Quan Chuot effluent into the flow. The critical factor is the level of Dissolved Oxygen (DO). There is only a 0.2 mg/l drop on the value for wet weather flow. This is computationally negligible. It should also be noted that the maximum value for DO in any river is about 10.2 mg/l. With measured values between 8 and 10 mg/l, the Red River must be considered a very healthy river and in the injection of the Quan Chuot flow does not deteriorate this healthy state. As with the Red River results, in general, the baseline water quality relative to DO is excellent and remains so after the addition of the pump station effluent. There is a 20% rise in COD and a 47% rise in Coliform. These rising values are acceptable and of no special concern. December 2003 Vietnam Urban Upgrading Project Nam Dinh City Sub-Project Volume 2C: Final Environmental Impact Assessment 19 The results given are very positive relative to the construction of the new pump station effluent discharge at Quan Chuot. However, the data should be considered with some reservations. The DO levels the Red River dry season and the Dao River all conditions may be considered higher than expected. Given that both rivers are relatively slow moving and have relatively warm water, the DO values exceed saturation values of oxygen in water at the temperatures experienced. For example, for water at 20 degrees C, the saturation value for oxygen in water is 9.07 mg/l. 4.4.5 Biological Processes Rivers have the ability to clean themselves through the action of living organisms that eat the biological matter and through sedimentation. This process can be quantified and is based on the rate of recovery of Dissolved Oxygen (DO) levels in the river after water with low DO levels and higher BOD levels has been introduced. For both the Red and Dao Rivers, it can be calculated that the recovery time is in the order of 2 days. With flow velocities in the rivers estimated at about 2 m/s during the wet season and 0.6 m/s during the dry season, it can be shown that an element of river water could travel between 50 and 170 km downstream on both the Red River and the Dao River in a 2- day period. Clearly the element of river water will be in the Gulf of Tonkin before the natural treatment process is complete. The benefits of natural treatment should not be considered in any evaluation of the proposed Quan Chuot project. 4.4.6 Conclusions Both the data and the analysis of the effects of dilution and dispersion indicate that it is safe to discharge Quan Chuot pump station effluent into the Red River approximately 1,500 m upstream from the beginning of the Dao River. The analysis shows that there are no significant impacts on the environmental quality of the Dao River water in the vicinity of the existing Nam Dinh City water supply intake. Special engineering measures at the pump station outfall, such as a diffuser outlet across the Red River bottom are not required. It has been noted that the water quality data for both the Red and Dao Rivers indicates that t he rivers are h ealthy and w ill c ontinue to b e s o a fter the p roposed Q uan Chuot pump station project is implemented. Initial indications are that the discharge of effluent through Main Ring Canal (T3-1 1) canal will have no significant effect on the Red River water quality and will not cause problems at the water treatment works. However, as a part of the detailed design more detailed water quality modelling is recommended to determine the impact to ensure more effective dilution and assimilation.

The total area is 37.7 ha. The total number of households in Van Mieu ward is 2,797 of which 353 households were interviewed for the needs of the socio-economic survey. The sampling was done randomly. The consultants coordinated with the ward leadership the selection of enumerators, and supervised the works. The m ore d etailed i nformation i s p resented i n R eport o n Socio-economical survey in Van Mieu low-income area of Nam Dinh City, Annex 3 of VUUP Nam Dinh Sub- Project Report on Feasibility Study, June 2003. 5.2 Population and Socio-economic Situation Population For VUUP Nam Dinh Sub-Project include 34 groups having 2,797 households and 12,186 people. The basic information is as follows: - 4.0 people/household - 49.6% of male and 50.4% of female - 24.1% of people are under age 18; 53.9% of people are in working age (18 to 55 for female and 18 to 60 male); and 21.8% of people are retired (above 55 for female and above 60 for male) - 96.8% of people have official registration status (KT1); 2.7% of people living in local area with legal registration status in other area within Nam Dinh City (KT2); 0.2% of people have official registration status but not permanent resident in the local area (KT3); and 0.3% of people are immigrants without legal registration status - Population growth levels were: 1.5% in 1999, 1.25% in 2000 and 1.2% in 2001. Occupation According to the social-economic survey result the occupation of residents in Van Mieu ward in low-income residential area is as follows: People in working age having regular job (60.6%) People in working age without regular job (39.4%) Worker: 25% Worker: 8.4% Office staff: 11.3% Dealer: 4.2% Dealer: 8% Unskilled: 80.1% Services: 37% Student: 7.3% Others: 18.7% Household Income According to the socio-economic survey average monthly income of the interviewed people was 352,600 VND. This is relatively low income for the living standard in urban area. However, prices in Nam Dinh City are relatively lower than that in other cities, therefore, with this average income, the basic demand of people can be insured. However, big families and the labourers, who have lower income than the average, have serious economical difficulties. Monthly income varied from 200,000 - 600,000 VND with average of 400,000 VND. Only few people had income higher than 600,000 VND. December 2003 VietTam Urban Upgrading Project Nam Dinh City Sub-Project Volume 2C: Final Environmental Impact Assessment 21 When dividing income into four groups, it can be noticed that the group with average income (200,000 - 500,000 VND) accounts for the highest percentage (78,5%). The group with high income accounts for very low percentage (0,6%). Table 5.1 Average monthly income by groups of households Income group Frequency % Very low Under 500.000 VND 51 14.4 Low 500.000 - l.000.000VND 204 57.8 Medium 1.000.000- 1.500.000VND 62 17.6 High 1.500.000 - 2.000.OO0VND 27 7.6 Very high Above 2.000.OO0VND 9 2.6 Total 353 100 The total income of the household in the month can be divided into 5 group with average number of 4 persons in a household. This result shows that the number of households in the group with very low and low income accounts for 72,2%. Household Expenditures The level and objective of household expenses can be calculated using mean to rank payment priorities of the households. Food and drink is the highest expense of households according to the survey. The second highest expense is children's school fees. Expense for food and drink per a member of the household would be 153,000 VND p er m onth equivalent to 5 ,000 V ND p er day. With such "living standard" it is required to be tactful to have a meal with sufficient nutrition. Expenses for services such as electricity, water, solid waste collection, housing rental, check-up and treatment, entertainment etc. count a large part of total income of the household. Table 5.2 Expense structure of low-income household per month Payment for Number of household Average (VND) Rank Food and drink 353 611,000 1 Education 353 113,000 2 The other 351 64,200 3 Electricity 353 46,300 4 Healthcare 353 42,600 5 Transportation 353 19,800 6 Water 353 15,900 7 Entertainment 353 3,920 8 Garbage and wastewater 353 3,520 9 House rent 353 1,950 10 The comparison between the average level of expense for some main payments and the average income level of the household shows that with such income, households cannot be affordable for minimum demands. Most probably all income sources were not declared in the survey. In addition there would be some irregular income and interviewed did not inform all income sources but, only from the main occupation. Allocation of expenses is not remarkably different from other residential areas (especially in residential areas with higher living standard compared to that in Nam Dinh) only a little difference is that the level of expense for each payment is usually lower. December 2003 Vietnam Urban Upgrading Project Nain Dinl City Sub-Project Volume 2C: Final Environimental Impact Assessment 22 Housing condition In Van Mieu ward the low-income people basically have own houses. The average area of each household is 29.8m2/household (7.5m2/person). However, 72.5% of households have area less than the average area. The average land of households is about * ~~~~~~22 54.87m /household (13.7m2/person). 37.1% of households have solid houses (over Class 3); 52.7% have semi-solid houses (Class 4); 2.8% have wooden houses and 7.4% have the temporary houses. According to the survey result none of the interviewed households had security of tenure on house ownership and land use right. 352 houses (12.8%) have been constructed according to communes /or ward authorities permission. 135 houses (6%) have been constructed according to province/ or city authorities permission. 339 houses (12.3%) have been constructed according to transferred house contract. 7 households (0.25%) have shared-houses. Environment and health The most common environmental problems are as follows: - Public toilet 63.2% - Smock 40.5% - Flooding 34.3% - Solid waste 23.8% - Noise 19.3% According to the survey results during the last two weeks before the survey 270 people had problems with health and they have been sick on average two days and used 42,000 VND/day for medical treatment. Education The most common education level is junior secondary. 7.34% of residents have university I evel a nd p ost g raduation e ducation; 0.44% h ave h igh s chool level; 31.2% have senior secondary school level; 40% have junior secondary school level; 11.5% have primary school level and 9.26% have under primary school level education. In Van Mieu ward there is Tran Van Lan primary school, which size is about 2,100m2 including 17 class rooms and 780 pupils divided into 21 classes. The building is a three- storey and six rooms are used as staff rooms and some other classrooms. The other classrooms are located in Class 4 houses built long ago. The Van Mieu kindergarten has a size of 200 m2, there are 17 rooms, of which 11 class rooms, 4 working rooms and two refectories with 350-450 small children and 33 teachers. The school was constructed in 1965, it is a Class 4 house and it is seriously damaged. The floor is on lower level than surrounding area and during the rain the house is flooded. The flood can last an hour and the water level inside the house might be 0.4-0.5m. Besides that the roof is leaking. The Huong Duong kindergarten was constructed in 1978. The Class 4 house size is 700 m2, there are five rooms for 100-130 small children and 10 teachers. At present all classrooms are degraded and due to low levelling the house is flooded during rain. December 2003 Vietnam Urban Upgrading Project Nam Dinh City Sub-Project Volume 2C: Final Environmental Impact Assessment 23 5.3 Conditions of Tertiary Infrastructure Roads According to the statistic data 23.8% of households are located next to the road wider than 5m; 17.8% of households are located next to 2-5m wide road; and 58.4% of households are located next to the under 2 m wide road. Most the lanes are narrowed due to expanding of the construction on both sides of the lanes. The narrow roads and lanes make for the poor more difficult to access with job opportunities; and increases insecurity of households living in the area. Ambulance, fire engines or any big vehicle cannot reach the households along narrow lanes. Main roads have macadam surface mixed with bitumen. Due to limited budget the quality of road surface is seriously degraded and in many places there are big holes full of water. All access roads are under management of community and the main roads are under management of city government. Clean water Earlier the clean water was an urgent demand in this area, but from the end of the 2002 the Nam Dinh Water Supply Company has constructed and installed water supply network serving all households. The price of house connection is 1,100,000 - 1,500,000 VND for the households without water contract and 550,000 - 650,000 VND for households who have water contract with the company. In May 2003 97.3% of households (2,722 households from total 2,797) had house connection with water meter. The water supply network is connected to the newly installed distribution network and the service quality is quite high. The people have water supply forl2 hours/day with the pressure up to 10- 15m. Drainage and public toilets The project area has a slope from North-east to South-west (the average slope is about 0.0015) and the elevation is about 0.2-0.5m lower then roads. Therefore, during heavy rains the project area is flooded. Drainage system is inadequate and seriously degraded, which causes flood in the area. According to the result of investigation the floods are common in residential areas 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12. Depth of flood is typically 20-50cm and it lasts 2-3 hours. Community takes care of the maintenance of branch sewers and main sewers are under management of Nam Dinh Public Works Company. There are three public toilets at the areas 1, 6 and 11 with total 70 compartments. They are old and seriously degraded bucket latrines. The walls and roofs are decayed, there are no doors and they are flooded during rain. However, approximately 600 households have to use these public toilets because lack of space and funds they cannot construct their own toilet. Most of public toilets are abundant and cause serious pollution for the surrounding environment. All public toilets are recently taken under management of ward governmnent. Power supply The power supply is from low voltage single-phase 220V, 50Hz electricity system from the city electricity network through transformner sub-stations including: 6 sub-station capacity 32OkVA-6/0.4kV; 3 sub-station capacity 25OkVA-6/0.4kV. The Nam Dinh Electricity Company will upgrade these sub-stations in the near future by installing an underground high voltage line 22kV replacing the existing overhanging 6kV. nferfnlhtr ?001 Vietnam Urban Upgrading Project Nam Dinh City Sub-Project Volume 2C: Final Environmental Impact Assessment 24 All interviewed households have electricity supply from the transformer sub-stations through low voltage power line of PVC covered aluminium core hanging on reinforced concrete e lectric p oles v ia p ower c ounter. T he electric counter is installed in steel or composite box and fixed on the poles for easily checking and maintenance. Power line from counter to the house is mainly PVC covered copper core. Power supply is stable and free of interruption. There is no need to improve the power supply system in VUWP. During the project implementation some work required for relocation of the existing electric pole or line and reconnection will be allocated as compensation for existing property. Public lighting There is public lighting system in the project area only along the main road lines. The high-pressure vapour 150 - 250w mercury lamps are used. Installation is on the low voltage poles made by reinforced concrete. Urban Works Company should take care of upgrading, improvement and maintenance of this lighting system, but due to the limited funds the maintenance is not constant and many lamps are broken several months without being replaced. There is no street lighting along the lanes in inhabitant areas, yet. Management and operation of public lighting system is under Nam Dinh Public Work Company. Solid waste collection and treatment Most inhabitants in the project area have solid waste collection. The monthly service fee is 3,000 VND/household and collected by Urban Environmental Company (URENCO). 7% of households do not have collection, but these households throw their garbage into ponds and lakes near their home. The solid waste is collected to pushcarts, which are brought to certain places along the roads; loads are emptied to lorries and transported to the landfill. There are no proper transfer stations and gathering of several pushcarts cause traffic jam and environmental pollution on the surrounding area. The Nam Dinh Urban Environment Company (URENCO) is responsible for solid waste collection, transportation and disposal. Health care In Van Mieu area there is a ward health station with the basic functions to take care of the people's health. The health station is a two-stories house with the area of each floor about 24m2, including a small room for family planning. There are two doctors and one assistant. Two doctors from municipal health centre would support the station when needed. Due to the limited area, the health station does not have capacity to fulfil the need of population, especially when according to new regulation, the station has take care for people having medical insurance.The ward health station is under management of the city municipal medical centre. Market There is one temporary market on the road B-C. This is a spontaneous market without any infrastructure and it has serious impact on traffic and environment. The market is under management of local ward government. December 2003 Vietnam Urban Upgrading Project Nam Dinh City Sub-Project Volume 2C: Final Environrnental Impact Assessment 25 5.4 Primary and Secondary Infrastructure in Van Mieu Urban roads Van Mieu ward is located in the South-west of the city and all urban roads from City Centre, such as Ninh Binh road and Vu Ban road, go through the ward connecting to the national highway No.10. Giai Phong road, which also crosses the ward, functions as city boundary coinecting North of national highway No. 21 and South of the City. Traffic system level 1 and 2 of the ward plays a very important role in external traffic system of the city. Ninh Binh road (old national highway No. 10 crossing the ward) is 7.5m wide with +2.50m average elevation. There are no pavements and drainage system. The surface of the road is seriously degraded and there are big holes impacting on traffic safety. Vu Ban road (the section of national road No. 12 going through the ward) is 6.5m wide and partly has 3-5m wide pavement on both sides. However, only the section located within the ward's boundary has pavement and the remaining pavement has not been constructed. There is no drainage system. Elevation is changing from area to area: from +3.30m at the point crossing railway, +3.10m at the point crossing Giai Phong road, +2.80m at the point turning to My commune, +3.00m at the point in front of Ngo Quyen secondary school gate and then lowering in Kenh Gia channel direction with elevation of +2.10m. All of this cause local floods at low points during rain. During the survey, when it was raining hard during 20 minutes, this road section was flooded in length of 0.5km and width 0.4 - 0.5m. The flood lasted for two hours. Giai Phong road going though the ward has average elevation of +3.10m, total width is 28m, of which 14m for surface and 7m for pavement on both sides. There is no drainage system along the road. The residents have illegally occupied defined right-of-way and land acquisition has not been implemented. Water supply Nam Dinh Water Supply Company has already constructed transmission and distribution network in this area. To the network includes DN 300 pipe along Ninh Binh road, DN 250 pipe along Vu Ban and DN 300 pipe along Giai Phong road. Financing for the investment is a loan from the French government and Vietnamese counterpart funding. All pipes are ductile iron with rubber joints imported from France and the quality is high. Any fuither investment and improvement of clean water supply system in this project is not needed. Cost of moving or re-installing some parts of these pipes during implementing infrastructure improvement of concerning item will be considered as reimbursement amount for Nam Dinh Water Supply Company. Drainage Van Mieu ward is located in downstream of South-West City drainage basin and there are no main culverts going through the area. The main drainage pipes of the whole area are box culverts constructed from brick and reinforced concrete boards covered with dimension B x H = 1.2m x 1.Om flowing through ditches to the Kenh Gia channel. Nam Dinh Urban Development Project constructed these box culverts in 2000 as a part to strengthen drainage capacity in the area, but due to the design the culverts were blocked and the sediment in the culverts reduced the flow.

Living conditions of the people are already now almost unbearable and the situation will become worse if no improvement will happen. Lack of proper drainage decrease the health situation continuously, but especially during f looding w hen t here i s w ater a lso i nside t he h ouses a nd w astewater a nd s olid waste from alleys is floating into the houses. Small alleys cause traffic jams and increase the risk of accidents. Slow and congested traffic decrease the air pollution. For the time being there is no place for ambulances or fire engines or any bigger maintenance vehicle. Narrow alley system hinders seriously economic improvement of the area. Lack of proper street lighting makes area unsafe especially for women and children and increase the possibility of crime and social evils. The w orks i ncluding t o the primary and secondary infrastructure are essential for the improvement of Van Mieu ward and are related to the bypassing traffic of the Nam Dinh City. If project is not implemented it would be very difficult to reach the targets mentioned in the City Master Plan and Van Mieu ward detailed planning; and improve directly the living conditions of all citizens of Van Mieu ward and indirectly the citizens of Nam Dinh City. Implementation of the resettlement site is the condition for the implementation of the project. 6.2 Selection of the Alternatives of Component 1 Based on the community requirements mentioned in the socio-economic survey and found out during the preparation of community upgrading plans, the consultant prepared several upgrading options with different investment cost, service level and different influences for community consideration and selection. The options were selected for upgrading tertiary infrastructure in Van Mieu ward including: 1) Main roads in residential area (width 3.5 - 5 m); 2) Access roads and alleys; 3) Ground levelling to prevent flooding; 4) Branch sewer along access roads and alleys; 5) Main drains along the main roads; 6) Public lighting; 7) Public toilet; and 8) Solid waste transfer stations. Options for upgrading primary and secondary infrastructure in Van Mieu ward include 9) Roads and 10) Drainage along the roads. During the surveys it was noticed that over 97 % of the households already had water supply through house connections and there is no further need to improve the water supply. The power supply system has also been improved and all the households have electricity. Nam Dinh Urban Development Project has improved and will improve the December 2003 Vietnam Urban Upgrading Project Nam Dinh City Sub-Project Volume 2C: Final Environmental Impact Assessment 27 main drainage system in Van Mieu ward and in VUUP Nam Dinh Sub-project can be concentrated on the construction of drains along the lanes. Nam Dinh City People's Committee has decided (Decision No. 1660/2002/QD-UB dated 9/7/2002) that kindergartens and primary school will be improved in the other projects. After discussion in communities the most suitable options for the needs of community were selected to be included and to be implemented in the project. The detailed options and technical solutions are presented in Community Upgrading Plan and Report on Feasibility Study. The decision making process in community is presented in Chapter 12 of this report. The revised Nam Dinh City Master Plan up to year 2020 requires that the Nam Dinh City must become central city for whole South-eastern part of the Red River delta. To implement the City Master Plan the city must mobilize all investment sources for upgrading the urban infrastructure and developing socio-economical conditions. The weakest p oints i n u rban i nfrastructure a nd s ocio-economical conditions of Nam Dinh City are concentrated in low-income areas. The concrete steps to implement City Master Plan are investment for upgrading infrastructure in low-income areas to improve living conditions of local people, minimize gap in living conditions between different areas of the city and increasingly improve living condition of whole city. Van Mieu ward is defined in City Master Plan as residential area to be improved from the existing situation. Therefore investment for upgrading infrastructure in this area is according to the City Master Plan. 6.3 Selection of Alternatives of Component 2 Construction of primary and secondary infrastructure i s according t o the C ity M aster Plan and Drainage Master Plan. Technical alternatives have been discussed in the Feasibility Study Report of Construction of Drainage Pumping S tation, 0 utlet S luice Way and Main Ring Canal for North Basin of Nam Dinh City. It has been decided that discharge from the Main Ring Canal would be done to the Red River to protect the raw water intake in the Dao River. 6.4 Selection of the Alternatives of Component 3 Land is at a premium in Vietnam's cities and generally it is difficult to find sufficient area that meets the requirement of being reasonably close to the original locations of project affected households and also close to a source of employment. The site selected causes no serious environmental impacts. According to the announcement of Nam Dinh Province People's Committee on the location of resettlement area for WB project in Nam Dinh City is based on: - Proposal of Nam Dinh City People's Committee in Document number 186-187/VP5 dated 27 March 2003 - Proposal of Department of construction in Document No. 29/SXD-QH dated 2 April 2003 People's committee announce that WB PMU- Nam Dinh City is allowed to survey and start procedure for resettlement investment. Location of resettlement area is Tram Ca area in Van Mieu ward and Loc An commune in Nam Dinh City. The available area is in Van Mieu ward 15,000m2 and in Bai Vien area 59,000m2. December 2003 Vietnam Urban Upgrading Project Nam Dinh City Sub-Project Volume 2C: Final Environmental Impact Assessment 28 Based on the approval WB PMU - Nam Dinh City will contact local authorities to make procedures on withdrawing, delivering, changing use of land, compensating property on land and organizing construction according to the scale of the approval project. The principle is that households to be resettled will get plot of land with the equal area compared to the old one but not smaller than 40m2 and not bigger than 60m2 (on average 48m2/land). Households whose withdrawn land is bigger than supplied one at the resettlement area will be compensated in cash for the rest area. Households whose withdrawn land is smaller than supplied one at the resettlement area will have to pay for the additional area. Households to be resettled will receive allowance for removal, reward for on time removal and support for effects on employment and income due to such removal. Households whose partial land and house are withdrawn but they have not to remove, will be compensated in cash for such withdrawn house, land and other related asset as well as supported for restoration. December 2003 Vietnam Urban Upgrading Project Nam Dinh City Sub-Project Volume 2C: Final Environmental Impact Assessment 29 7 IDENTIFICATION OF IMPACTS 7.1 Introduction Impacts of the project are presented in three levels. The first part is generic impacts for tertiary infrastructure and primary and secondary (trunk) infrastructure. The second part is c ity-specific impacts for Nam Dinh and the third part describes the impacts of the resettlement sites. 7.2 Generic Environmental Impacts of Component 1 and Component 2 Existing e nvironmental conditions fail to achieve the environmental quality standards required b y t he G overnment p olicy a nd 1 egislation. I n o rder to achieve the long-term benefits, the project is expected to generate short-term adverse impacts, particularly during the construction stage due to the proposed scale of the interventions. However, the majority of adverse construction phase impacts can be mitigated through: - The incorporation of appropriate contract conditions that define operating procedures to be adopted by contractors - Maintaining an effective consultation process that ensures effective participation of community (primary stakeholder) level in implementing the Community Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) and Environmental Management Plan (EMP) - Ensuring the project management framework provides coherent decision making about defined actions in the event of non-compliance In Nam Dinh City, as well as in other cities, the urban poor are usually living in low- income area where infrastructure is degraded and environment polluted. These factors complicate to get good and permanent job and lead easily to employment. Because the poor have low income level they cannot afford to improve infrastructure and living conditions themselves. T his c auses t hat t he l iving c ondition o f t he p oor w ill d egrade even more and the vicious circle is difficult to break. Upgrading of tertiary infrastructure will reduce poverty in the low-income areas by improving infrastructure and basic services and thus providing better environment, scenery and health for the poor people. Potentially adverse environmental impacts are associated predominantly with the construction phase of the proposed project. General construction related impacts would be mitigated through measures defined under the EMP and CEMPs. Almost 12,200 residents in Van Mieu ward can get direct socio-economic and environmental benefits through provision of public utilities, services and infrastructure. The n umber o f i ndirect b eneficiaries i n t he s urrounding a reas c an be estimated to be several thousands. Environmental impact matrixes for each component are presented in Annex 6 in Tables 6.1 -6.9.

In already densely populated areas this would increase traffic problems, chaotic security and generation of new type of wastes especially at the sites where the workers are concentrated. During the construction there will be impacts on the social life and quality of life such as interruption of business, traffic jam, loss of children's playground in alleys, labour accidents, effects to daily activities due to the house demolition or repair and suspension of water supply, drainage and power system December 2003 Vietnam Urban Upgrading Project Nam Dinh City Sub-Project Volume 2C: Final Environmental Impact Assessment 31 Road Access to houses will be improved Due to material transportation for road upgrading, most and there will be more possibilities probably traffic will increase and therefore amount of air for small-scale business. emissions, noise and traffic jams will be increased during Traffic jams will decrease construction. Probably traffic will increase and therefore amount of air emissions, noise will be increased during operation Street Improvement of security and safety Dust and noise will increase during construction time Lighting situation and decrease of accidents due to the better lighting during evening and night On the proposed area for Van Mieu recreational lake are for the time being some fish ponds, which will be excavated and extended to the Van Mieu Lake and embankment and service road will be constructed around the proposed lake (Drawing 7). It is estimated that more than 8,000 m3 of material will be excavated. During the site clearance and construction of possible access road there will be temporary but permanent impact on the surroundings. During the construction the traffic will increase due to the transportation of the excavated material. The excavation will change temporarily the aquatic environment, but there are no endangered species in the area to be protected. The use of existing will be not possible any more and this will have permanent impact on the business of users of existing fishponds. The construction of recreational area will change the land use and landscape on the proposed area, and people who are using fish ponds have to find other ponds or change their profession. The traffic in the area will increase. However, the positive impacts of the proposed recreational area can be estimated bigger than negative impacts, because Van Mieu ward is lacking this kind of area. The area is needed especially for the recreation for all inhabitants, but especially old people and children need a place near their home. Service road along the lake will provide good and safe walking route especially for women. If the water quality of the lake can be kept good enough, it will increase the possibility to grow fishes for recreational fishing and also improve the otherwise low biodiversity of the area. The area needs proper management and operation and maintenance, otherwise it will be soon turn out to be gathering place for unreliable persons. Very special attention has to be paid to the cleanliness of the area and solid waste management. Circulation of the water has to be arranged otherwise the water will be soon stinky and unattractive 7.3 Environmental Impacts of Component 2: Primary and Secondary Infrastructure In addition to the above generic impacts in this section are collected impacts, which are specific primary and secondary infrastructure in Nam Dinh during construction and operation. Initial indications are that the discharge of effluent through Main Ring Canal (T3-1 1) canal will have no significant effect on the Red River water quality and will not cause problems at the water treatment works. However, as a part of the detailed design more detailed water quality modelling is recommended to determine the impact to ensure more effective dilution and assimilation. December 2003 Vietnam Urban Upgrading Project Nam Dinh City Sub-Project Volume 2C: Final Environmental Impact Assessment 32 Table 7.2 Environmental Impacts of Trunk Infrastructure during Construction and Operation Component Impacts during Construction Drainage Construction of Quan Chout pump station will have temporary impacts during construction. The biggest impacts are related to the construction to the new sluice from the Quan Chout pump station to the Red River through mostly agricultural area and dredging of the Main Ring Canal. Transportation of excavated and dredged material will cause inconvenience along the transportation routes. Total volume of the excavated and dredged material from the Main Ring Canal is estimated to be 106,400 m3 of which 27,500 m3 dredged sludge will be transported to the Nam Van disposal site for cover material. According to the available analysis there are no high concentration of heavy metals and there is no need of treament of sludge. The exavated material can be used as on-site construction material. Discharge through Quan Chuot pumping station and new sluice to the Red River will decrease pollution risk to the raw water intake along the Dao River, but will have only negligible impact on the water quality of the Red River due to the high dilution capacity. According to the preliminary dilution calculations the increase of the pollution risk of the Red River is not very big. Roads and Excavating and levelling, material and waste handling, mobilisation of machines, equipment bridges and workers during work execution period also causes many adverse impacts. Transportation means will cause pollution such as noise, vibration, fume, dust, and oil and if there are no tight measures of management, many accidents may occur. Material mobilisation may result in traffic jam and low hygiene conditions in some areas if mitigation measures are not followed. Street See generic impacts Lighting Impacts during Operation Drainage Upgrading of the two main drainage canal of city (T3-11 canal and Kenh Gia canal) increases the wastewater flow and thus increasing slightly the risk of water pollution in the recipient water body. However, the total pollution load will not be increased. Roads and Upgrading of Giai Phong road will divide the traffic flow of the city and reduce traffic bridges congestion. At the same time with the upgrading of the main roads construction of drainage systems will increase drainage capacity and reduce flooding along the roads and inside the Van Mieu ward. 7.4 Environmental Impacts of Component 3: Resettlement Housing Design Phase Selection the location of needed resettlement site is always complicated, because in the densely populated areas there is no vacant and uninhabited area available. Therefore location of resettlement site is always a compromise and usually causes an additional need of resettlement of the people who live in the proposed area. Land use and existing activities in the surrounding areas have to be considered, too. The design options will have impacts on drying and possible excavation of existing fishponds, soil subsidence, drainage and hydraulic capacity of the drainage system. Construction Phase December 2003 Vietnam Urban Upgrading Project Nam Dinh City Sub-Project Volume 2C: Final Environmental Impact Assessment 33 Construction of infrastructure and houses at large resettlement site will cause temporary, but reasonable long-lasting inconvenience to the surroundings. Especially the amount of traffic will increase remarkably during the whole construction period and the existing road to the proposed site.is not wide enough for transportation during construction and operation. Construction will also cause temporary noise problems in the tranquil agriculture areas. Site clearance, drying, levelling and construction of the proposed area will totally change the land use and landscape of the proposed area. Existing fishponds and agricultural area will be changed to the semi-urban living area, which will have impacts also on the existing surrounding living areas. Drying of fishponds might have impacts on hydraulic capacity of the drainage system, and in the worst case increase flooding, if not done in the proper way according to the appropriate design. Construction of infrastructure and houses at large resettlement site will cause temporary, but reasonable long-lasting inconvenience to the surroundings. Especially the amount of traffic will increase remarkably during the whole construction period and the existing road to the proposed site is not wide enough for transportation during construction and operation. Construction will also cause temporary noise problems in the tranquil sub- urban area. Large construction works needs a big number of workers, which might cause temporary inconvenience and decrease of security in the area. On the other hand to provide different kind of services to the workers increase the possibility for small business i.e. food-stalls, cafes etc. Operation Phase During the operation the resettlement site causes the same type of impacts than any other living area. High density of population, construction and living activities of residents in resettlement site will affect originally tranquil sub-urban area. Open drainage channel next to the resettlement site can cause inconvenience to the people. The new resettlement site, which is including needed infrastructure improve remarkably the living standard of the people, improve hygienic and health and stabilize people's life by creating job and improving their economy. New and unfamiliar living environment might cause social problems especially for low-income households, because they need more support from neighbours and communities than wealthier households. Children have to go to new schools and if children go to school in resettlement area, they might have problems with new teachers and classmates. If the resettlement areas are far from schools, parents have to spend plenty of time to escort their children and this will affect their work. The relocation will also cause some troubles in administrative transactions for habitants. In the old and familiar places, though being temporary residents, application for certification of background i.e. for job application, marriage registration, etc. was easy, but in new places, it takes time for people to learn to know local authorities. Centralized resettlement areas may cause extra load to local authorities regarding to administrative management and social order. A resettlement site is also a new concern for local authorities because most of resettled households are poor, with little capacity of contributing money for local infrastructure construction, and they need to be assisted for hunger elimination and poverty reduction. December 2003 Vietnam Urban Upgrading Project Nam Dinh City Sub-Project Volume 2C: Final Environmental Impact Assessment 34 PART 2 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN December 2003 Vietnam Urban Upgrading Project Nam Dinh City Sub-Project Volume 2C: Final Environmental Impact Assessment 35 8 MITIGATION MEASURES 8.1 General According to OP 4.01 Annex C a project's environmental management plan (EMP) consists of the set of mitigation, monitoring, and institutional measures to be taken during implementation and operation to eliminate adverse environmental and social impacts, o ffset t hem, o r r educe them to acceptable levels. The plan also includes the actions needed to implement these measures. To prepare a management plan, the borrower and its EA design team (a) identify the set of responses to potentially adverse impacts; (b) determine requirements for ensuring that those responses are made effectively and in a timely manner; and (c) describe the means for meeting those requirements. 8.2 Mitigation Measures during Detailed Design 8.2.1 Generic Design Instructions Environmental matters have to be integrated in all the design work and planning of the project. The designing has to be done by minimising the adverse impacts on environment using as much as possible existing facilities and selecting the location of new facilities in areas where the disturbance to environment, people and existing structures is the smallest. Where possible existing rights-of-way has to be used rather than create new ones. The key mitigation measures are noticed in the Project Implementation Plan, Engineering Design Reports, Bidding Documents and Contract Documents. Design criteria adopted for upgrading tertiary infrastructure will be achieved through extended consultation with residents and community groups to achieve all the interventions proposed aim to clear social, economic and environmental benefits. According to the Vietnamese Construction Regulation Standard Article 3.3 Protection of Natural Resources and Environment construction projects should: - Not cause adverse effect to environment, and technical regulations on scenery and environment protection should be observed - Protect the natural preservation areas, and historical, cultural and architectural places - Extracting natural resource must ensure the rationality and cause no obstacle to the next exploitation - Respect traditional customs, practices, religions of people living in and around the construction area. In Construction Regulation Standard there are instructions especially for master plan including general instructions for designing sewerage and drainage system. Urban drainage system should be assured: - To discharge all types of urban waste water - To have suitable solution for treating wastewater so that the urban area is not flooded, and environment and water sources are not polluted. In Standard Branch Sewerage and Drainage System and Works, Standard Designs there are more detailed design instructions. However, international design standards have to be introduced and used in design work. December 2003 Vietnam Urban Upgrading Project Nam Dinh City Sub-Project Volume 2C: Final Environmental Impact Assessment 36 The construction works should be implemented stepwise in order to minimize the moving/transferring of equipment as well as to avoid chaos for the surrounding communities. 8.2.2 Generic Instructions for Tertiary and Trunk Infrastructure Design Drainage and Sewerage In the design of drainage and sewerage has to be paid attention to prevent possibility of contamination water supply. A special attention has to be paid to the crossing of water pipes and sewers. It is not allowed to have water pipes going through the drainage manholes or box culverts. If possible the drainage and sewer systems should be designed as far as possible from water pipelines. Discharging points of the drainage system have to be selected so that the adverse impact is minimised and the back flow of drainage water to pipes has to be prevented. Drainage design principles have to be selected in co-operation with the other projects implemented in the same area to avoid overlapping and to optimise the effectiveness of drainage system. Upgrading and dredging of lakes and channels has to be designed by minimising the need of resettlement. Proper access to the construction sites has to be designed, too. Transportation and disposal of excavated material has to' be designed and necessary area reserve from landfill for disposal. If possible the dredged material could be used on-site. The garbage, which is blocking the channels and arroyos and the top layer of the sediment, should be transported to the landfill, but the excavated soil could be used for construction. Handling and disposal of sediment and solid waste to specified places with suitable means of transportation has to be coordinated with relevant authorities. Construction of the new Quan Chuot pumping station will be done next to the existing pumping station. However, the surrounding land use has to be considered in the selection of the final location. The final location of the new sluice way from the Quan Chuot pumping station to the Red River has to be selected so that the need of resettlement and other disturbance for the land use and agriculture and other business activities will be minimised. Necessary crossing the new sluice way has to be agreed with the communities and designed to avoid construction of illegal bridges and other structures. Water Supply The design of water supply facilities has to be done in co-operation with local Water Supply Company following the standards and norms used in the other water supply design in the concerning city. Roads and Bridges The design of roads has to be done according to with the communities agreed standards described in Community Upgrading Plans (CUPs) and Feasibility Study Report. The location and the width of roads and alleys have to be adjusted to the local circumstances to avoid unnecessary resettlement. Road alignments have to be designed avoiding possible cultural and historical monuments i.e. pagodas, temples and communal houses, also the need of resettlement has to be minimised. The width of the bridges has to be adjusted to the width of the streets and alleys. The Vietnamese design standards have to be followed. December 2003 Vietnam Urban Upgrading Project Nam Dinh City Sub-Project Volume 2C: Final Environmental Impact Assessment 37 Electricity and Street Lighting In the design of street lighting had to be followed the Vietnamese design standards and safety regulations. In the design of electricity facilities special attention has to be paid to the safety regulations to prevent possibility of accidents. Solid Waste Management The location of solid waste collection points has to be selected together with the communities to avoid complains from the people. There has to be easy access for lorries to come and collect solid waste. Wards, communes and residential areas should set up self-management groups to collect solid waste under the support of URENCO. Design of Public Toilets Location of public toilets has to selected so that they are close to the users, but don't cause too much inconvenience to the surrounding area. There should be septic tanks, which are connected to the municipal sewerage network, if it is available. Design of Social Infrastructure Location and size of the different construction should be done according to the needs of communities described in CUPS and Feasibility Study. The Vietnamese construction standards, regulations and dimensioning instructions have to be followed. Design of Van Mieu Lake and Recreational Area The exact location, size and shape of the proposed lake should be decided together with communities. The access road to the proposed recreational area has to be designed, too. In the feasibility study is proposed only one metre deep lake and excavation of one metre of sediment. The disposal of more than 8,000 m3 of the excavated material has to be designed. It is recommended that as much as possible of excavated material should be used on site for the construction of embankments to avoid transportation of the material. The embankment and service road around the proposed lake has to be designed to fit to the surrounding landscape. Revetment, lighting and location of benches have to be designed to fit to the surroundings, too. 8.3 Speciric Mitigation Measures for Dredging and Drainage Current estimate of total amount of dredged material is 102,000 m3, of which 27,500 m3 sludge would be disposed to Nam Van disposal site. According to the analyses quality of disposed materials would need no treatment. Handling and disposal of sediment and solid waste to Nam Van disposal site with suitable means of transportation has to be coordinated with relevant authorities. It is recommended to use as much as possible the material on-site to minimise the transportation. The amount of dredged and excavated material will be clarified during the detailed design and disposal sites will be agreed with the concerning city authorities. More detailed instructions will be included to the Contract Documents. The design of upgrading of roads and drainage and street lighting along the roads has to be done according to with the communities agreed standards described in Community December 2003 Vietnam Urban Upgrading Project Nam Dinh City Sub-Project Volume 2C: Final Environmental Impact Assessment 38 Upgrading Plans (CUPs) and Feasibility Study Report. Design of drainage connection to the Kenh Gia canal has to be agreed with the Nam Dinh Urban Development Project. 8.4 Mitigation Measures during Construction All works including to the Project have to be implemented following the appropriate standards, specifications and working methods given in the Contract Documents. Table 7.1 Mitigation Measures during Construction Impact Mitigation Measures Noise, Odour, The maximum permitted noise level is given in the Vietnamese standard TCVN 5949-1998. The Litter and strongest limitations are from 10 pm to 6 am in the vicinity of hospitals, libraries and kindergartens Dust where maximum noise level is 40 dB. Air quality and dust emissions are mitigated through dust suppression measures compliance with TCVN 5937-1995 To minimise the odour nuisance especially the dredging works have to be carried out during dry season. Appropriate equipment has to be used to prevent overloading of trucks. Accidental spills, sludge, oils and lubricants from equipment etc. have to be absorbed and collected immediately. In the construction site dust, litter and public inconvenience has to be minimised by good construction management and site supervision. It is recommended to sprinkle the street in the vicinity of construction sites to minimise dust. Solid and liquid wastes should be collected to transfer stations established to the construction sites and transported to the landfill. Waste and disposal of excavated material are disposed at the sites, which are agreed with URENCO. Health and The Contractor is responsible to provide appropriate equipment, tools and protective clothing to the Safety workers and ensure that appropriate working methods are applied. During dredging and transportation of dredged material the Contractor has to follow strictly safety and health regulations. The dredging has to be organised so that the need to go to the water is minimised. Special attention has to be paid to avoid the direct contact with sludge. The Contractor has to provide protective clothing including at least overall, Wellington boots and gloves. A possibility to proper washing with clean water has to be arranged during and after the working. Clean water and first aid kit has to be available to wash and treat the possible cuts and wounds. Traffic and All works have to carried out so that not to interfere unnecessarily the public and prevent the access to Transportation use public or private roads and footpaths to or of properties. Arrangements The Contractor has to select transportation routes, choose vehicles and distribute loads so that the transportation from and to the site shall be limited as far as reasonably possible. The Contractor has to use every reasonable means to prevent any of the roads and bridges from being damaged by the works. Transportation The nuisance caused by transportation of materials and especially dredged sludge has to be minimised of Dredged by arranging transportation and construction on busy main streets only outside rush hours and in narrow Sludge and streets in residential areas only during the day. The transportation has to be avoided between 10 pm and Material 6 am and is allowed only on the request of traffic police. Careful planning of dredging, excavation, construction and transportation schedules, and planning and selection o f r outes, a s well a s c hoice o f transportation v ehicles will miriimise dust. L oads have to be covered tightly to minimise spread of dust and preventing dropping of material from the loads to the roads. Working In all construction works local working time and site arrangements and instructions concerning site Time and Site clearance, fencing, watching and lighting, working at night etc. given in Contract Documents have to be Arrangements followed up. Public The district PMU shall announce the construction works and new traffic arrangements during Relations constructions works to the public regionally in newspapers, TV and radio. Locally the announcement is given to the ward representatives who will inform the residents. Loudspeakers can be used during the construction works to give the latest information in concerning areas. December 2003 Vietnam Urban Upgrading Project Nam Dinh City Sub-Project Volume 2C: Final Environmental Impact Assessment 39 8.5 Mitigation Measures during Operation and Maintenance The instructions agreed in CUPs and CEMPs and presented in EMP have to be followed, i.e. - Regular inspection of the condition of roads, drainage system, street lighting system, public toilet and solid waste transfer stations; possible breakages have to be repaired immediately - Operational and safety standards have to be followed - Watering on the road surface at the main traffic lines - Maintenance of drainage system has to be arranged; transportation of dredged material has to be done in proper means of transportation and loads have to be covered during transportation; the dredged material has to be transported to the landfill or other suitable place agreed with URENCO - Trees should be grown on embankment of the open drainage canal to reduce air pollution and to create beautiful landscape - Prevent solid waste disposal into the alleys and channels by improved solid waste management - Management and cleaning of public toilets and waste transfer stations is arranged - Encouraging the inhabitant to construct private toilet and to empty septic tanks regularly - Public awareness campaigns should be implemented in communities to raise environmental awareness and train inhabitants to have their duty to keep environment clean; to avoid negative impacts on environment; not throw garbage every where, and the people who use the public toilets must have awareness to have good hygiene 8.6 Environmental Mitigation Measures for Component 3: Resettlement Housing The resettlement site needs to be planned as a complete residential area with sufficiently functions according to Vietnam planning standards and the Nam Dinh City Master Plan. The technical standards applied for resettlement site design should be considered carefully to conform affordability of the modem households. Housing for the poor should be designed suitably with the affordability of the poor households Buffer zone should be designed between the proposed resettlement site and open channel to mitigate the impacts of channel to the living houses. Design of drainage connection to the Kenh Gia canal has to be agreed with the Nam Dinh Urban Development Project. In the design of resettlement site has to be followed good design standard for new urban areas. Different facilities have to be located in the logical way, i.e. kindergarten and school near parks and recreational areas. There has to be easy access to market also with motorbikes and cars, and enough parking place has to be reserved from the very beginning. Houses should be faced in the optimal way to protect from direct sunshine. Proper access road to the resettlement site has to be designed, too. When the inhabitants have to move to a new resettlement area, they are worried and confused about the new situation. In order to minimize these impacts authorities should have satisfactory compensation policies, assistant affected people and finalise construction of infrastructure in the resettlement area before new inhabitant would move to the area. December 2003 Vietnam Urban Upgrading Project Nam Dinh City Sub-Project Volume 2C: Final Environmental Impact Assessment 40 8.7 Need for Further Investigations Because the proposed resettlement site for the time being fish ponds and agricultural land special attention has to be paid to the drying and levelling of the area. Soil testing has to be done at the proposed resettlement site during the detailed design to find out the need of quantity and quality of foundation engineering to avoid soil subsidence Hydraulic calculations for drainage capacity have to be done to clarify impacts of drying of fishponds in the proposed resettlement site to the overall drainage system of the area. Initial indications are that the discharge of effluent through Main Ring Canal (T3-1 1) canal will have no significant effect on the Red River water quality and will not cause problems at the water treatment works. However, as a part of the detailed design more detailed water quality modelling is recommended to determine the impact to ensure more effective dilution and assimilation. December 2003 Vietnam Urban Upgrading Project Nam Dinh City Sub-Project Volume 2C: Final Environmental Impact Assessment 41 9 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING AND REPORTING 9.1 Generic Environmental Monitoring during Construction and Operation Generic Environmental monitoring will be done during construction in four levels; namely as monitoring of development of project performance indicators; monitoring of implementation of mitigation measures done by the Contractor; community based monitoring; and overall regulatory monitoring of the project. Project Performance Indicators The PMU will prepare to the WB biannual report, which includes among other things reporting of the progress of the project also environmental project performance indicators, which will be as follows: - Health indicators - Quality of recipient water - Percentage of collected solid waste Monitoring of Implementation of Mitigation Measures Monitoring d uties o f t he C ontractor are specified i n the Contract Documents and are related to the impacts during construction. The Contractor prepares monthly reports, which PMU compiles to quarterly reports to the WB. The Contractor monitors the implementation of the main mitigation measures listed below i.e. the quantity of dredged and transported material, number of loads, type of transportation, measures to keep streets clean, fencing etc. The examples of monthly mitigation monitoring reports are presented in Annex 7. Main mitigation measures during construction Responsible organisation - Minimise dust, odour, litter, noise and traffic emissions by good operation Contractor management and site supervision - Appropriate working methods have to be followed Contractor - Sites have to be kept clean and safe during and after the work Contractor - Safety and health regulations has to be strictly followed Contractor - Transportation has to be minimised and routes selected to avoid public Contractor nuisance - Transportation during rush hours and night has to be avoided Contractor - Tight and proper equipment to transport sediment and garbage has to be Contractor used to avoid accidental spills and odour nuisances - Construction sites and time has to be informed to the local people in PMU advance The quarterly reports include the flowing: - List of priority identified in last quarterly monitoring report - List of progress, which the Contractor has made to solve the problems - List of issues, which have not been adequately resolved and give recommendations how to solve the problems and explain force majeure December 2003 Vietnam Urban Upgrading Project Nam Dinh City Sub-Project Volume 2C: Final Environmental Impact Assessment 42 Community Based Monitoring According to community environment management plans (CEMP) in each community, the inhabitants will take part in monitoring of environmental parameters; such as water supply quality, drainage, dust, noise, air pollution etc. The communities would also be trained to notice the risks of environmental pollution during construction and operation of the project. Community based monitoring is important especially during the operation when the communities continue their weekly and monthly monitoring Overall Regulatory Monitoring During the operation the related companies, to whom the facilities have been handed over, continue related air, water and sediment quality monitoring reporting to the WB. Copies of monitoring reports will be sent to DONRE, which has the overall responsibility of the regulatory environmental monitoring.

To the PMU include director, deputy directors, chief accountant, specialist of planning, construction, finance, law and environment, and administrative staff. PMU has the main responsibility of the implementation and monitoring of the CEMP and EMP. The daily monitoring will be done in the community level, but PMU will be in charge of the sampling and analysing, which might be needed and reporting. PMU has carried out preparation of the whole project and sub-projects. However, in order to ensure good implementation of the project, the capacity of PMU should be improved. This task is an important part of Component 6. PMU should work closely with community authorities to promote community participation in the planning, management, operation and monitoring of the project. The resident shall be educated to understand the infrastructure problems and their role in overcoming the problems like cleaning and maintenance of drainage system, proper house connection, prevention of illegal water supply and electricity connections, solid waste collection, condition of roads and street lighting. PMU should have cooperation with the concerning companies in charge of water supply, sanitation, solid waste collection, street maintenance and electricity during the operation of the project to monitor the operation and maintenance.

The proposed target groups were: inhabitants including the farmers (91.8% of answers), management cadres of community (47% of answers) and leaders of enterprises (19% of answers). The proposed training method would be: 1) through ward (67.1%); 2) through the inhabitant meetings (75.9%); and 3) through the posters and leaflets (25.8%). The public awareness campaign to improve environmental awareness of the inhabitant would positively contribute in taking care of environment improvement of community. It i s necessary to have a training program for capacity improvement for ward cadres as well as officers of project management unit (PMU) and city and province authorities.

This amount is including costs of data collection for health indicators and percentage of collected solid waste and sampling, analysing and reporting cost of water and sediment quality of recipient waters. PMU collects and compiles the data for biannual progress report to the World Bank. The Contractor collects and reports to PMU data for monitoring of implementation of mitigation measures as a part of the contract. Community based monitoring is done in volunteer basis, but a certain amount should be reserved for the miscellaneous costs. Especially in the beginning of the construction is needed also support from PMU as technical guidance and supervision. The total estimated annual monitoring cost is 48 MVND, which has to be reserved for the budget for every year during the project.

December 2003 Vietnam Urban Upgrading Project Nam Dinh City Sub-Project Volume 2C: Final Environmental Impact Assessment 50 PART THREE PUBLIC CONSULTATION AND DISCLOSURE December 2003 Vietnam Urban Upgrading Project Nam Dinlh City Sub-Project Volume 2C: Final Environimental Impact Assessment 51 12 PUBLIC CONSULTATION AND DISCLOSURE 12.1 General The World Bank's Operational Policy (OP 4.01) on Environmental Impact Assessment requires that affected groups and local NGOs to be informned and consulted as a part of the EIA preparation during at least two stages of the EIA-process: shortly after the EA category has been assigned and after the draft EIA-report has been prepared. Proper consultation is a requirement for EIA category A projects. Participation should be enabled during project preparation under certain conditions and is generally recommended as part of implementation. Projects that require involuntary resettlement (OP 4.30), consultation on social issues should be included. 12.2 Key principles The overall goals of the public consultation and disclosure are to inform all stakeholders (interested and project affected parties) about the important aspects of the proposed project and solicit their comments, ideas and concerns. Further objectives include: - Commence consultations at the earliest stages of the project, in order to establish an open and participatory process - Take care that groups being consulted are representative including representatives of women and youth associations, ethnic and religious minorities - Enhance previously acquired knowledge of stakeholder concerns - Employ culturally and socially appropriate consultation methods and provide all written materials and reports and orally in Vietnamese - Utilise several different, complementary methods of receiving public input such as individual and public meetings, opinion surveys and document review - Document the comments of the stakeholders - Communicate information received from the stakeholders to the technical/design team members, and ensure that legitimate concerns are addressed appropriately - File the ETA document in the communities affected by the project for public review and comments - Continue to consult the public prior to, and during the construction, operation and maintenance phases of project development. 12.3 Community Participation Plan on upgrading infrastructure including tertiary infrastructure (component 1) and related primary and secondary infrastructure (component 2) were done with active participation of communities. The communities have participated with Consultant during project preparation including: - Defining problems on infrastructure and environment that the public faces - Defining orientation and priority to solve such problems - Choosing technical methods to overcome and improve infrastructure - Discussing on investment scale, teclnical measures, assigning responsibility of contribution on investment cost, operation and maintenance fee - Discussing on assigning management responsibility, operation, monitoring to ensure effective activities of improved infrastructure December 2003 Vietnam Urban Upgrading Project Nam Dinh City Sub-Project Volume 2C: Final Environmental Impact Assessment 52 To promote the participation of communities in the project, the consultant has developed planning groups, planning teams including representative of authority, non- governmental organizations and representatives of resident in the area. The consultant has trained and assisted them on communication skills and knowledge on preparation of plan for investment project. The planning group included 46 people and divided into 2 levels: To the managing board included 13 people, of which, one was director, one secretary and 11 were members. Each member was in charge of one resident area ("mien"). The managing board prepared working plan and monitoring planning teams to carry out such plan correctly. I There were 11 planning teams. To each team included three people of which one act as team leader at 11 resident areas ("mien") to manage resident groups ("to") in the area. These planning teams implemented the plan prepared by managing board and supported facilitators at resident groups ("to") in transferring information to residents and getting feedback. In every 86 resident groups, the consultant also created net of facilitators including 86 people (each resident group has 1 person) doing communication task. During the work the consultant always assisted the planning group, planning teams and facilitators on necessary skills, prepared necessary toolkits for their tasks and to carry out the inspection independently to ensure good activities and effectiveness of the planning group. The tasks implemented by planning group, included: Definition of investment demands: in order to define the issues which community has to faced with and requirement of investment, the planning group has organized meetings in total with 86 groups. The minutes of meetings were carefully recorded to transfer to the planning groups for inspection, summarising and making statements for managing board. After that they will be considered to transfer into an official report to submit to the consultant and the project management unit (PMU). Consideration of investment alternatives: based on investment demand of community, the consultant has prepared the technical options to satisfy these demands. Each item for investment has s ome d ifferent t echnical options. These options have different service level, investment cost, level effecting on community and correlatively participation required from the community both on finance and human resource. The planning group transferred these options to all households in the area by and also the exchange meeting were o rganized for d iscussion w ithin c ommunity. A fter c onsideration and discussion, the households selected the most appropriate option and recorded it into "consultation form" prepared by the Consultant. The facilitator transferred the selection of households resident groups to the planning teams. The planning teams considered opinions of all households living in the resident area to prepare one proposal for this area and transfer to managing board. The managing board of planning group studied all proposals to ensure conformity of these selections among inhabitant regions to summarize in to general selection of the whole planning group. Based on selection of the planning group, planning teams and communities, the consultant studied and adjusted the plans suitably. The points due to technical requirements, which can't adjust to meet requirement of a part of community were December 2003 Vietnam Urban Upgrading Project Nam Dinh City Sub-Project Volume 2C: Final Environmental Impact Assessment 53 exchanged and w ere r eturned t o final d ecision b y c onsultant and p lanning group and after that they were once again reported and explain to community. After the Consultant and planning group selected and agreed the technical options they were finally agreed. This final agreement was informed to community and all households. 12.4 Public Consultation Meetings Public consultation meetings were organised as follows: Location Time Number of participants Van Mieu Ward December 8, 2003 58 In the meeting the participants supported the project and were ready to co-operate with PMU a nd c ontractor. T he g eneral o pinion w as t hat t he c onstruction works should be started as soon as possible and the works should be done parallel. It was also requested that the PMIU should inform in advance the construction time and the contractor should discuss with the communities about the content and location of the works and keep the agreed construction s chedule. C ommunities w ere w illing t o p articipate i n s upervising and monitoring of the construction works. The minutes of the meetings and the lists of participants are presented in Annex 8. 12.5 Disclosure The World Bank, like other donors, lenders and governments around the world, have recognised that many planned interventions in the past have led to undesirable impacts, often exacerbating economic inequalities and socio-political injustices. As such, these agencies have, for the past few years, been developing guidelines to ensure that meaningful consultation occurs, whereby relevant information is provided to the stakeholders and their inputs are encouraged. The World Bank's guideline entitled Policy on Disclosure of Information requires both public consultation and public disclosure by the project sponsors in the preparation of an environmental assessment. The first drafts of EA documents were disclosed both in InfoShop in Washington DC and in-country as required by the World Bank. The Vietnamese version of the executive summary of EIA report was disclosed in Van Mieu ward including to the project in Phase 1 in accordance with the instruction by the Nam Dinh P eople's C ommittee in November 2003. At the same time the full text of the first draft EIA report was available at PMU office and informed to the project affected households. The Vietnamese final draft EA documents were displayed in the same places from December 20, 2003. The final draft EA documents will replace the current display in InfoShop and VDIC at the World Bank office in Hanoi. December 2003 Vietnam urban Upgrading Project Nam Dinh City Sub-Project Volume 2C: Final Environmental Impact Assessment - Annexes VIETNAM- URBAN UPGRADING PROJECT (VUUP) Terms of Reference for the Preparation of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) - Phase I 1. INTRODUCTION Vietnam's cities have rapid growing populations, and infrastructure and utility service investments have lagged far behind demand. Low-income areas have developed, and are continuing to develop, in an ad-hoc unplanned manner with little infrastructure and services. This creates environmental and health hazards for their residents and the city at large. New, innovative and low cost approaches are thus required to address Vietnam's growing urbanization challenges. Realizing this, the Government of Vietnam has requested donor assistance to prepare a national program to upgrade low-income communities. Preparatory studies funded through the Cities Alliance have been completed to help develop a National Urban Upgrading Program. The Ministry of Planning and Investment has now requested the World Bank to support a Vietnam Urban Upgrading Project (VUUP) as the first major project in the national program. The VUUP aims to upgrade low- income communities in four cities, namely HO CHI MINH, HAI PHONG, NAM DINH, and CAN THO. The VUUP will provide basic infrastructure and services improvements (referred to hereafter as tertiary infrastructure) to low-income communities already identified in the cities. To ensure that the tertiary infrastructure provided is able to operate effectively and to its optimum, critical primary and secondary infrastructure (referred to hereafter as trunk infrastructure) is also to be provided as part of the VUUP. It is anticipated that a number of families will have to be unavoidably resettled, and therefore social housing and/or basic serviced sites for housing will be provided (referred to hereafter as housing developments). The combination of investment for tertiary and trunk infrastructure, and housing developments in each city will be referred to hereafter as the city's sub- project. In each city, the sub-project is divided into two or three phases, each of which will be implemented over a 2-3 year period. Phase 1 will be prepared before the project is presented to the World Bank's Board (expected to be March 2004) and Phases 2 and 3 will be prepared during project implementation. This Terms of Reference concerns the preparation of EIAs for Phase 1 of the sub- projects (EIAs phase 1 for each city). Separate EIAs are required for each city. 2. BACKGROUND Project M anagement U nits (PMUs) h ave b een e stablished i n e ach o f the 4 c ities. In e ach c ity, a mapping exercise has been carried out of the low-income communities and a database established. Local consultants (referred to hereafter as the "Local Upgrading Consultants") have already been engaged in each city (different consultants in each city) to prepare: (a) a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) for the complete city sub-project for all three Phases; (b) a Feasibility Study (FS) for Phase 1; (c) Environmental data collection for the tertiary infrastructure and assessment of environmental conditions of the sites for housing development; and (d) detailed engineering design and bid documents for Phase 1 of the tertiary infrastructure component. Other consultants (referred to hereafter as the "Trunk Infrastructure Consultants") will carry out data collection for environmental analysis (in the case of Ho Chi Minh city, a preliminary EIA) as part of the preparation and engineering design of the Trunk infrastructure component. It is expected that environmental data will be available by May 2003 for the tertiary infrastructure and by September 2003 for the trunk infrastructure. Each city has a detailed, primarily spatial, master plan, sectoral master plans (e.g. for sewerage and drainage), and detailed area development plans. These should be consulted and taken into account. In addition, other consultants (not directly related to the VUUP) are preparing environmental studies and, in some cases, EIA for various other trunk infrastructure projects. The EIA Consultants will use these work and studies, as well as reports prepared by the Local Upgrading Consultants and the Trunk Infrastructure Consultants, as inputs for their assignment. The Housing Developments are being December 2003 Vietnam urban Upgrading Project 3 Nam Dinh City Sub-Project Volume 2C: Final Environmental Impact Assessment - Annexes designed in-house, or by local consultants and these consultants will collect the necessary environmental data (the consultant for this assignment should however allow for some supplementary data collection for the housing developments). For Phase 1 of the VWUP in each of the four participating cities, the EIA Consultant(s) will prepare Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) documentation (separate for each city) that correspond to the requirements of the Government of Vietnam and the World Bank safeguard policies OP 4.01 (on Environmental Assessment) and OP 4.11 (on Physical Cultural Resources) where the concerns of impacts on cultural structures are triggered. The EIA documentation should also give a broad picture of environmental condition in the project areas of all the three phases and specify guidance to the preparation of EIA documentations for phases 2 and 3. The EIA documentation for the entire project will consist of: (1) Community Environmental Management Plans as part of the Community Upgrading Plans that will propose mitigation measures for impacts relating to tertiary infrastructure; (2) Site- specific EIAs for trunk infrastructure and housing developments; (3) an Environment Section of the Environmental and Social Safeguards Framework (ESSF) of the Project Operations Manual; and (4) Environmental Management Plan for VUUP, including an executive summary synthesizing the process and the findings from the above reports. 3. SCOPE OF WORK Task 1. Review anld amenid as inecessary Coinnuniity En vironmenztal Mantagement Plants (CEMPs) for CommZilunity Upgradinig Planis (CUPs) for the tertiary infrastructure of phase 1. (This task will be based on the CUPs prepared by the Local Upgrading Consultants) The purpose of this analysis is to ensure that the interventions targeted by the proposed project at the community-level (through CUPs) are environmentally sound and sustainable. Separate CUPs will be prepared for each low income area. They will be concise documents and should not exceed 18 pages. The CEMP is an integral part of the CUP. The consultant should review and amend as necessary the CUPs/CEMPs prepared by the Local Upgrading consultants. Specifically, each plan should detail the following: 1. describe the environmental conditions and identify the environmental problems faced by the community, and based on a participatory process they should be ranked; 2. evaluate alternatives for addressing these problems and finding solutions; 3. identify the trunk infrastructure needs (trunk sewers, city-wide waste collection etc) that are needed to enhance the community-level; 4. propose mitigation actions that need to be implemented at the community-level and adjustments that need to be made to the city infrastructure and basic services, so as to support these mitigation actions. These actions should be reflected and costed in the engineering *design and feasibility study; 5. define the institutional arrangements at the community-level, for construction, operation and maintenance of the sub-project including the environmental mitigation actions; 6. a monitoring program that will involve communities; An environmental education and public hygiene awareness program should be prepared and proposals made for it's delivery during project implementation. The City Womens Unions have experience in delivering such programs. Task 2. Site-specific EIAsfor truntk infrastructure and housilng developmlients.

There has been three phases since 1997 including the following items: -Construction of Kenh Gia drainage pumping station with capacity of 12m3/s and Kenh Gia drainage canal of 4.4km -Construction of water supply network in Tran Te Xuong ward -Preparation of Nam Dinh City Drainage Master Plan up to year 2020 to match with the revised City Master Plan -Preparing Feasibility Study for the drainage system at the northeast basin of Nam Dinh City and find investment source -Implementation of Environment and Health at Community Program (EHMA) in order to raise awareness of the people and officials in maintaining and improving environment -Implementation of training and fostering programs for improving management capability at all levels of the city and pilot reform in the institution of civil city-level agencies' operation. Investment and construction of water supply system - Nam Dinh city's water supply system is extension by loan from the French government. Water treatment plant capacity has been increased to 50,000m3/day in 1999, and target is to increase the capacity to 75,000m3/day in 2005. 37.6km transmission mains and DN 100 water pipes have been rehabilitated and further construction would be 21km. It is planned to construct further 42km of water pipes in 2002 and 2003. - Using local credit the Nam Dinh Water Supply Company is actively constructing a service pipe network with about 300 km of DN 100 pipe covering all urban wards and supplying water to households; rehabilitating 6,000 existing house connections and further installing 15,000 house connections so that up to 2005 majority of urban population can use potable water. Investment and construction of solid waste treatment plant The composting plant with capacity of 250 tones/day has been constructed by the loan from French Government. Originally it was e stimated that the construction would be finished and the plant put into operation by the end of 2002. However, the time schedule was delayed due to difficulties in land acquisition. In May 2003 the plant was finally completed. The plant is designed to treat whole municipal waste of the city by the year 2010. Upgrading and renovating electricity grid The Asian Development Bank (ADB) in funding renovation of the electricity grid of Nam Dinh City, construction of the central underground electricity grid, transform the middle-tension electricity grid of 35Kv, 6k to the standard voltage of 22kV and renovation of low-tension electricity grid to households. Decenber 2003 Vietnam urban Upgrading Project 1 0 Nam Dinh City Sub-Project Volume 2C: Final Environmental Impact Assessment - Annexes REVISED CITY MASTER PLAN UP TO YEAR 2020 Outline Prime Minister has approved the City Master Plan for Nam Dinh City up to year 2010 by decision No. 793/TTg dated December 23, 1994. At that time Nam Dinh City was identified as tertiary city and centre of Nam Ha province. Since 1997, after split up from Nam Ha Province, Nam Dinh City has been classified as secondary city (decision No. 183/QD-TTg dated September 24, 1998 by Prime Minister), being an economic centre of the southeast area in the Red Delta River. Nam Dinh City is recognized as a political, economical and cultural centre of Nam Dinh province. After construction of road No 10 Nam Dinh City has been changed remarkably, which has made the master plan approved in 1994 to be inappropriate. In 2002 Nam Dinh City set up and adjusted the City Master Plan for Nam Dinh City to year 2020, which has been approved by Prime Minister by decision No. 31/2002/QD- TTg dated Mach. 12, 2001. According to revised City Master Plan for the city up to year 2020, Nam Dinh City is one of three centre cities of Red River Delta and a big centre of textile and garment industry on the north. The city focuses on developing textile and garment industry, processing agricultural and forestry products, mechanical engineering, electricity, electronics and construction materials industry with estimated growth of 14% per year. Service industries are expected to achieve the growth rate of 13.2% per year. The city's economic mechanism has changed to industrial direction, taking up 37-39% of GDP, only 1% for agro-forestry and 59-61% for services. In order to implement the master plan approved by the Prime Minister, backward and low quality infrastructure is a big challenge for the local government and the local people. Investment, construction and rehabilitation of such system in order to accomplish targets set in the master plan are very necessary; and the city has to maximize capability for mobilizing investment into this sector. Space development orientation The city is developed under two main directions: the development direction to the north and northeast is adjacent to road NolO and the development direction of the south of Dao river belongs to Nam Van and Nam Phong. The city will include 4 urban areas which are basis for setting up future wards: the c entral area is of the existing streets (Block A), Loc Vuong - Loc Ha on the north of Truong Chinh (Block B), Loc Hoa - My Xa - L oc A n on the west of the c entral area (Block C) and Nam V an - Nam Phong (Block D). Four industrial zones will be established, which are 1) the industrial zone in the old city, mostly for less polluting industries such as textile, garment, alcohol and confectionery processing; 2) the industrial zone along the national highway No. 21A is for textile, garment, shoes, appliances, electronic ware production and installation, plastics production etc; 3) the industrial zone along the national highway No.10 on the southwest of the city is for construction material production, mechanical service, chemicals, plastics, agro-production and foodstuff processing; and 4) the industrial zone near Dao river is for mechanical, light industry, ship repair and ship construction. The province and city's head quarters and offices will be located in the city centre. For the residential areas, the Block A comprised mostly of apartments which will be renovated b y l imited c onstruction d ensity focusing o n u pgrading t he e xisting h ouses, protecting and renovating valuable houses.

Planning for infrastructure development Urban traffic road network The urban traffic road network includes outside-city roads and inner city roads, which are planned to be constructed as follows: Traffic routes serving external relation activities: -National Highway No 21 will be widened for 4 traffic lanes with 15 m wide roadbed and the 20 m passage of each side -National Highway No 10 has been widened for 4 traffic lanes, road bed is 2 x 7.5m, crash barrier lm and passage of each side 20m, the inner city section will be widened according to the urban road standard -Provincial roads No 12, 38 and 55 will be widened according to Grade III road standard with cross section of 12m, the inner city section will be widened according to the urban road standard -The existing railways remain unchanged, the railways station is expanded and improved -The waterways will be maintained and commodities and passengers' ports will be constructed to ensure capacity of loading and unloading of 150,000 - 600,000 tonnes per year -Two bus stations serving external relation activities will be constructed to be located at the four-way crossroads of national highway No 21 and No 10 and at the three-way crossroads of national highway No 21 and provincial road No 55 Inner city roads and streets: December 2003 Vietnam urban Upgrading Project 12 Nam Dinh City Sub-Project Volume 2C: Final Environmental Impact Assessment - Annexes -The existing cross-section of road and line direction remain unchanged, upgrading road surface, constructing underground works and pavements, widening some narrow sections, constructing roads in old areas, which have low density or low quality of roads. In new urban areas traffic will be organized with belt-roads connecting main traffic routes of the urban area. -Sectional streets are arranged in chessboard form with distance of 300-400 m -Design criteria are that density of main road is 7 km/kM2; the width for one lane is 3.5- 3.75 m; and the width pedestrian lane is 0.75m. Water supply system The water supply system will be constructed according to the approved planning. Raw water source is the Dao River. One water treatment plant with capacity of 75,000m3 per day serving the Northern area of the Dao River and another in the Southern area of the Dao River with capacity of 35,000m3 per day will be constructed. The network is constructed to ensure the safe water supply to 85% of urban population with the standard of 130 litres per person per day in the year 2005 and 150 litres per person per day in the year 2020. Ground levelling, drainage system and waste water treatment In constructed areas, where ground level varies from 20 - 40m, the existing ground level remains unchanged. For rehabilitation and new construction internal levelling is required to ensure combination with the surrounding ground level and to avoid affecting general drainage. New construction sites must be according to the planning approved in 1994. A separate drainage system is applied to the old urban area and also to newly constructed areas. For urbanized communes, a general drainage system of internal processing will be constructed. The drainage will be done by gravity if the water level in the river and in the drainage channel is below 1.8m; and by pumping if the water level is higher than 1.8m. Newly constructed Quan Chuot pumping station with capacity of 16.4m3/s and improvement of the main drainage channel T3-11 are in synchronous with the construction of pumping station. The culvert network of the city will be improved and reconstructed by using reinforced concrete culvert along and between the two pavements to collect wastewater. In order to limit the depth of excavations, it is expected to construct 8 pumping stations with capacity from 3,300m3/day to 72,000m3/day. Domestic wastewater is proposed to be collected and will be treated in wastewater treatment plant: Ml wastewater treatment plant with capacity of 72,000m3 per day would serve the northern area of the Dao River and M2 wastewater treatment with capacity of 12,000m3/day would serve the Southern area of the Dao River. After treatment wastewater would satisfy the standard TCVN 1942 - 1995 for class A. Industrial wastewater is proposed to be collected and treated in two wastewater treatment plants: M3 wastewater treatment plant with capacity of 3,200m per day would serve the industrial zone located along national highway No 21 and M4 wastewater treatment plant with capacity of 2,300m3 per day would serve the industrial zone located along national highway NolO. Wastewater discharged from plants and factories located in industrial zones must be treated according to TCVNl942 - 1995. Class A should be reached before discharging into the environment. Solid waste management Solid waste accumulation is calculated to be 0.8kg per person in the year 2005. Solid waste collection and transportation would be expanded based on the existing model.

A bout 3 0 c ollection s tations w ill b e constructed with 2-8m3 size containers. Hazardous waste and hospital waste will be sorted at source for processing. Power supply and telecommunication A transmission line 220kV and a transformer station 220/1 1OkV located in Khu Tam with capacity of 2 x 125MVA would be, constructed to supply power to the whole area. It is planned to construct transformer stations 110/22kV My Xa (with capacity of I x 40MVA) and Khu Tam (with capacity of 1 x 25MVA) to supply power to the city, removing Phi Truong transformer station. The medium voltage grid is changed into voltage 22kV, replacing the existing civil transformer stations (there are about 240 stations with total capacity of 60,OOOkVA) and about 100 new transformer stations with total additional capacity of 28,OOOkVA will be constructed. Underground cable with 12km of 22kV - medium voltage transmission line for the central area, 28.6Km of overhead transmission line 22kV low voltage lines and urban lighting would be constructed. Social infrastructure development The city will carry out programs to improve cultural sites, areas of outstanding natural beauty and service infrastructure such as constructing roads to these places, improving monumental areas such as the traditional lake, the Tran temple area, Thap pagoda; and constructing and upgrading hotels, guesthouses, restaurants and entertainment resorts. The city will consolidate the existing network of commercial establishments, develop general business and open two new trading centres at city level in the northern and southern areas of the Dao River and construct four trading centres at district level. Concerning education and training the existing establishments will be maintained and upgraded. In the northern area of the city is proposed to be universities and vocational training schools focusing on cultural and social education, garment and textile and technical engineering. Schools should be arranged equally in the city and in residential areas in order to make sure that 100% of pupils can go to school. Housing development would be focusing on repairing and improving the existing houses located in the old urban area and for new construction according to modern standard in the new construction sites. Public health development would be focusing on intensive development of the existing establishments, especially central hospitals, general hospitals and on constructing hospitals at district level in the new development areas. Recreational development would be focusing on improving and upgrading the existing centres for sport and gymnastics and constructing a centre for sport and gymnastics at regional level of Red River delta in the western direction to Tuc Mac park with area of 100 - 120ha. Also the other park system will be developed. EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE IN NAM DINH CITY Traffic network Nam Dinh City there is two crossing road lines. National highway No 10 linking Ninh Binh, Nam Dinh, Thai Binh, Hai Phong and Quang Ninh is crossing the city along 1Okm. National highway No 21A linking Ha Tay, Hoa Binh, Ha Nam and Nam Dinh goes through the city centre along 8 km. In addition, there are three provincial roads No. 38, 12 and 55 linking the city with provincial centres. December 2003 Vietnam urban Upgrading Project 14 Nam Dinh City Sub-Project Volume 2C: Final Environmental Impact Assessment - Annexes On the city area there are urban traffic roads linking arteries, branch streets and alleys, which create a chessboard-styled traffic network. However, due to many years of insufficient investment, the urban traffic network has been seriously degraded especially inside the l iving quarters. P eople have c ontributed all the upgrading and m aintaining activities for those roads themselves. At present, there are 60.53km of roads under provincial management, 10.41km under city municipal management, 85.31km under commune and ward management and 97.92km under community management. Most of the roads are relatively narrow (from 5.5m to 15m), roadbed is rock and surface is macadam mixed with bitumen. In the whole city only 4.2km of roads is covered by asphalt. Besides the roads, there is a North-South railway line crossing Nam Dinh. The Red River and the Dao River link the city to big economic centres of the region. Water transport has played important role in transportation of the goods and materials between Nam Dinh City and other local areas. Water supply system Nam Dinh City's water supply system was established after the French constructed Nam Dinh Textile Company. After many years of renovation and extension there is a rather complete water production and supply system in the city, including a water treatment plant with capacity of 50,000m3/day using surface water from the Dao River. The water supply network includes 48.971km pipe with diameter from 100 to 600mm, mostly made by cast iron, and hundreds of kilometres of service pipes with less 100mm diameter, which are mostly of galvanized pipes and PE pipes. In the near future, with two loans from French government and local budget, Nam Dinh Water Supply Company continues constructing and expanding capacity of the water treatment plant to 75,000m3/day and extending the network of transmission and water supply pipes according to the approved City Master Plan and actively construct a service pipe network and house connections. At present Nam Dinh Water Supply Company has 38,000 customers and is able to supply clean water for approximately 70% urban population. About 65% of customers have water meter. Annual water production is 12,000,000m3; annual water loss is 6,600,000m3 (NRW 55%) and turnover in 2001 was 14.8 billion VND, of which 11 billion VND was from water sale and the rest from installation. Water tariffs are 2,500; 3,000 and 3,500VND/m3 for consumption (such prices are applied to households who consume less than 25m3/month, 25 to 35m3/month and more than 35m3/month respectively); 2,800 VND/m3 for water supply to administrative agencies; 5,000 VND/m3 for water supply for production and 6,500VND/m3 for water supply for business and service. Generally w ater tariff is rather low compared to the production cost of 2,900 VND/m3, which leads to the situation that the Water Supply Company cannot be affordable for operation and maintenance the network and returning loans. Installation c ost for house connection including s ervice pipe, water meter, equipment and labour is 1,200,000-1,500,000 VND/connection for new installation and 540,000- 600,000 VND/connection for households who already have water supply contract. Water Supply Company is a second-grade enterprise, which is affiliated to Provincial People's Committee and under Department of Construction. The Water Supply Company employs 230 officials and workers, including 5 departments and 3 subsidiary December 2003 Vietnam urban Upgrading Project 1 5 Nam Dinh City Sub-Project Volume 2C: Final Environmental Impact Assessment - Annexes enterprises. Investment for water supply system is mostly from provincial budget or commercial or loans. Drainage, sewage and waste water treatment system The drainage system is combined. There are underground sluices along streets and partly open canals or small ponds. Survey on actual situation of drainage system shows that this many years ago constructed system is seriously degraded. Total length of the drainage system is about 24,883km with diameter of 400 to 1400mm. The whole drainage system of the city can be divided into two main basins: northeast basin and southwest basin. In 1997-2001 the southwest basin of the city has been renovated with Swiss government's support. Kenh Gia Pumping Station with capacity of 12m 2/s has been constructed; the main drain canal Kenh Gia with total length of 4.4km has been rehabilitated and upgraded; and drainage system inside the city has been constructed. In spite of the construction of the pumping station and the improvement of main drainage canal, the flood situation has not been improved significantly because the secondary and tertiary drainage system has not been rehabilitated to adequate capacity. The northeast drainage basin has not been upgraded, yet, and the drainage capacity is very low. In 1999-2001 with Swiss government's support, Nam Dinh City finished the Master Plan for the drainage system of the City and set up a Feasibility Study for drainage of northeast basin. At present, the Master Plan and the Feasibility Study are under approval and investment capital for implementation is still open. Urban Public Work Company is in charge of the management and operation and maintenance of the drainage system. Besides the management of drainage system, the company have other duties related to urban infrastructure such as cemetery, street- lighting system and public works. The company employs 220 officials and workers, including 3 departments and 5 production teams: street management team, drainage team, green-park team, street lighting team and cemetery team. All expenditures for the Company's operation are granted from the city's budget. In 2001 total granted budget was 1,949 million VND, of which 557 million VND for drainage, 110 million VND for street lighting, 782 million VND for park and 500 million VND for cemetery. At p resent there i s no wastewater c ollection and treatment system. All wastewater i s directly discharged to the environment and there is a risk to contaminate raw water source of the City. It would be necessary to prepare a Master Plan for wastewater collection and treatment in order to create a legal framework for investment project. Solid waste collection and treatment system According to collected data waste volume of the city is currently estimated to be 20 tones/day, of which Urban Environment Company (URENCO) collect 70%. URENCO is also responsible for cleaning septic tank if required. URENCO hasl 8 lorries modified from normal lorries to transport solid waste from existing 13 transfer stations to Loc Hoa landfill. Nam Dinh Urban Development Project has purchased a waste compactor for URENCO, however, this equipment has not been used because the landfill does not meet the needed technical condition. Waste collection is mostly done using pushcarts. There are 351 workers to collect solid waste. Solid waste is collected at certain points along streets and transported to Loc Hoa landfill. Loc Hoa landfill was opened inl994 and there are 8 chambers for solid waste, but now chambers are full. Since August 2001 the city has invested from the provincial budget for construction of further 20 chambers, which ensure capacity of storage for 10 years. A composting plant for municipal waste with capacity of 250 tones/day was completed in May 2003. December 2003 Vietnam urban Upgrading Project 16 Nam Dinh City Sub-Project Volume 2C: Final Environmental Impact Assessment - Annexes Operation of URENCO is funded substantially from the city's budget (up to 80% of total expenditure) because the cost of solid waste collection is 3,000 VND/household/montli and only 80% of households are charged. The service quality has not met requirement of people because the methods of solid waste collection and transport have not been appropriate because there are no transfer stations. URENCO does not have proper means of transport and most of current ones are old and in low condition. The management of the landfill is limited and people living in the surrounding areas have stopped the garbage vehicles, which has caused break to solid waste collection of the whole city for 5 to 7 days. Power supply and information system Electricity supply of Nam Dinh City is from the national electricity grid 110kV through the Phi Truong transformer station lx16+1x25MVA-1 10/35/6kV. The wire grid inside the city is mostly overhead and hung on reinforced concrete piles along streets. There are about 240 civil transformer stations with total capacity of 60,OOOkVA supplying low-tension power to the whole city. The city's electrical grid has been renovated and upgraded remarkably in order to supply electricity to consumption and production for 100% of urban households. All households have electricity meters and loss rate on the grid has been reduced significantly.

Purpose Sub p roj ect f or upgrading i nfrastructure i n I ow income a reas of N amdinh city under t he V ietnam Urban Upgrading Project is planned to be implemented in Namdinh city in 2 phases: phase I from year 2004 to year 2006 and phase 2 from year 2007 to year 2010. In phase 1, tertiary infrastructure of Vanmieu low income area with area 37.7ha and 2.797 households is proposed to be upgraded including roads and alleys, drainage system, public lighting, solid waste transferring stations, public toilets a nd o ther social i nfrastructure s uch as h ealth c are station, public e ntertainment places. For - supporting effectiveness of upgrading tertiary infrastructure, some related item of primary and secondary infrastructure is proposed to be upgraded including Vuban and Giaiphong road, drainage box culvert along the Ninhbinh road to Kenh Gia canal. In addition to upgrading related primary and secondary infrastructure for Vanmieu low income area, in phase 1 of the project a completed drainage system for northern basin of the city including Quanchuot pumping station, outlet canal to the Red river and main ring canal T3-11 is proposed to be upgraded. Waste sludge discharged from dredging canal T3-11 is proposed to be dumped in dumping site belong to the Namdinh Urban Public Works i n N amvan c ommune at distance 5 km from the city center. For preparation EIA of the project, the Consultants, Designers and Constructors Corporation, as a sub consultants for the joint venture of the Stanley Consultants Inc. and Span Consultants is required to collect environmental data related to upgraded item in Vanmieu low income area, pumping station, discharge and main ring canal as well as data of area proposed to be receiver of discharge water (Red river, Dao river ans Vinhgiang river) and sludge (Namvan dumping site). 2. Methodology From the rapid survey of the project area, the Consultant proposes: a/ For Vanmieu low income area, environmental conditions are relatively uniform. During the upgrading tertiary infrastructure, the Consultant has conduct baseline data for environment of whole area (refer to the existing report). However, for upgrading related primary and secondary infrastructure, some other parameters have been measured and analyzed in addition: - Air quality (noise, pollution from dust, smoke and discharged from traffic equipment) at some crossing of main roads (crossing between Vuban and Giaiphong road, crossing between Vuban road and road No. 10, crossing between Ninhbinh road and railway). - Waste water (flow and quality) form main sewer to the city main ring canal (Kenh Gia canal). - Water quality of receiving point for waste water form Kenh Gia canal (Dao river at downstream of Kenh Gia discharging point). - Solid waste discharged from upgrading drainage system and roads (quantity and quality) b/ For pumping station and drainage system of northern basin, after the upgrading, waste water discharged in Dao river (at Quanchuot) and Vinhgiang river (at Cau oc bridge) in present will be diverted to the Red river (at Tan de bridge). In addition, a large volume of sediments (sludge) will be dredged and dumped in Namvan dumping site. So the Consultant has collect environmental data at such places planned to be affected by the upgrading as follows: - Waste water (quantity and quality) in T3-I1 canal in different moment (rainy seasonand dry season) and at different points (at pumping station, middle point and upstream). - Discharged sludge (quantity and quality especially heavy metals) at different points of the canal. - Surface water at receiving points in present (Dao river at Quan chuot, Vinh giang river at Cau oc bridge) as well as in future (Red river at Tan de bridge). - Underground water around T3-11 canal. December 2003 Vietnam urban Upgrading Project 28 Nam Dinil City Sub-Project Volume 2C: Final Environmental Impact Assessment - Annexes - Baseline data of environment (air and surface water) at the Namvan dumping site. During the study, the Consultant has collaborated with the Namdinh Department of Standards, Quality and Measurement under the Namdinh Provincial Department of Science and Technology for sample taking.
