6 ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECT MONITORING

38. Environmental effect monitoring should be conducted in line with the national regulation and as required in IEE. The required monitoring aspects are: noise and air quality (for 4 subprojects), surface water quality (for subproject Ba Vi ss only) and soil quality (only for subproject Rehabilitation and upgrade Phuong Liet 110kV substations - E13). The requirement of environmental effect monitoring stated in IEEs of 5 ongoing subprojects are summarised in Table 10, and the status of environmental monitoring analysis of each subproject is summarized in Table 11.

39. Four subprojects (namely Rehabilitation and upgrade Phuong Liet 110kV substations - E13, Phu Nghia substation and connecting line, Thuong Dinh Substation and New building 110kV Ba Vi S/S) have to monitor air quality. However Phuong Liet SS and Ba Vi SS have not conducted the environmental monitoring, because the construction activities have just started at the end of October, so they will conduct air quality effect monitoring during First semi-annual period 2018. The air quality monitoring was conducted in July 2017 of Phu Nghia SS and Thuong Dinh SS were attached in previous internal monitoring report (Jan-Jun 2017).

40. The soil and surface water effect monitoring are required for Phuong Liet SS subproject and Ba Vi SS respectively once in three months, so these environmental monitoring effects will be conducted during first semi-annual period 2018.

41. During this second 6 months, two air quality effect monitoring has been conducted for two subproject (Thuong Dinh SS, Phu Nghia SS) in July 2017. Four other subprojects have been just started, the construction activities are not too much and they will conduct environmental effect monitoring during first semi-annual period 2018.

7 Key Issues Identified

7.1 Issues identified between July and December 2017

42. According to IEE requirement, the subproject “New building 110kV Ba Vi S/S” needs to monitor the air quality and wastewater quality quarterly. However, this subproject has just started at the end of October 2017, the construction activities were not many, so these environmental effect monitoring would be conducted in first semi-annual period 2018.

43. PIC is supposed to visit 30% subprojects under construction twice a year. However, during this year 2017, PIC visited field sites 3 times. Particularly, during April 2017 visited all 5 under construction subprojects. During this period (July-December 2017), PIC visited two times (October and December 2017) three subprojects under construction. Because the three remaining subprojects are under operating period since July and CSCs of each subproject was confirm by photos that all that sites were rehabilitated. Therefore, for three subprojects which were not visited by PIC. Next semi-annual report of 2018, PIC will visit all the subprojects during that reporting period.

44. The main points of environmental performance monitoring for the six subprojects under construction/operation during this monitoring period are summarized as follows:


- Subproject information board has no phone number for the case local people want claim could call



- Electric wire is placed on the ground could cause electric shock for workers - Workers partially use protective facilities (without working helmet)

7.1.3 Rehabilitation of 110KV bay - Tia substation - E10.4


- Soil erosion may occur from improperly compacted substation foundation - Some workers do not wear safety equipment appropriate for the task they are

employed.

7.1.4 Expansion of 110kV Thuong Dinh substation

- No environmental issues have been found

7.1.5 110kV Line to 220kV Son Tay s/s (under operation since July 2017)

- Soil erosion may occur from improperly compacted tower foundation

7.1.6 110kV Phu Nghia substation and connecting line (under operation since July 2017)

- No environmental issues have been found

45. The environmental performance monitoring for the subprojects under operation during this monitoring period are good only one issue summarized as follows:

7.1.7 Rehabilitation of Son Tay S/S (110kV)

- The site used for workers camp is not properly recovered. This area should be cleaned up

38

7.2 Issues from previous report (January-June 2017)

46. The issues from previous reports were related to improper construction activities, solid waste management, soil erosion, working safety etc. Though, almost all environmental issues have been corrected right after reminder of PIC or CSC, some issues were continued from the previous monitoring period from subprojects such as rehabilitation of Son Tay 110KV substation and Thuong Tin-Thanh Oai transmission line. The detail description of

issues of each subproject is presented in Table 12.
