IV- BRIEF ENVIRONMENTAL BACKGROUND OF THE SUB-PROJECT AREA

4.1. Geographical Location of the Sub-project Area

Binh Dinh province is located in the central coast, the province’s territory stretches along the North-South. Its narrow width to average is 55km (the narrowest place is 50km and the maximum value is 60km). Binh Dinh province is bordered by Quang Ngai province in the North with boundary length of 63km, by the South China Sea province in the East with coastal length of 134km, by Phu Yen province in the South with boundary length of 50km, by Gia Lai province in the West boundary length of 130km. Binh Dinh province is considered as one of getways to the sea of High land provinces and Southern Laos.

Total natural land area of the province is 6,039.56 km2. Total population is 1,489,900 people. Population density is 247people/km2 (statistic in 2009). About administrative organization, Binh Dinh province is devided into 11 administrative units, in which, Quy Nhon city is the first grade provincial city and 10 districts of An Lao, Van Canh, Vinh Thanh (mountainous), Hoai An, Tay Son (midland), Hoai Nhon, Phu Cat, Phu My, Tuy Phuoc, An Nhon (plain). There are 159 communes, wards and towns in the whole province, in which, (129 communes, 14 towns and 16 wards). Currently, Quy Nhon city is a political and cultural center of Binh Dinh province.

Sub-project “Phuoc Son 110kV Substation and the Branch Line” is located in Tuy Phuoc district, Binh Dinh province. It’s bordered by Van Canh district in the West, by An Nhon town in the North, by Quy Nhon city in the East and the South. The district has area of 261.77 km2, population of 185,974 people (in 2005). There are 13 communal administrative units including towns of Dieu Tri, Tuy Phuoc and communes of Phuoc Thang, Phuoc Hung, Phuoc Hoa, Phuoc Quang, Phuoc Son, Phuoc Hiep, Phuoc Loc, Phuoc Thuan, Phuoc Nghia, Phuoc An, Phuoc Thanh. The district terrain is accumulative plain at riverside and coastal plain at the East of district. Thi Nai lagoon is located in the East of the district. Tuy Phuoc district is engaged in farming such as growing rice, crops, gracilaria, sugar-cane, fruit trees; bredding cow, poultry, fish, shrimp and fishing and processing seafoods. Industry is underdeveloped, mainly produce cement, construction stone and exploit kaolin. Traffic system has national highway No.1A, No.19 and the North-South railway running through the district.

4.2. Climate, Topography, Pedology in the Sub-project

a) Climate:

Binh Dinh province, in general, and Tuy Phuoc district, in particular, have a wet tropical and monsoon climate. Due to the complex topography, when monsoon approaches to the land, it changes its direction and intensity so much.

- Annual average temperature: at mountainous region fluctuates from 20.1oC to 26.1oC, the highest is 31.7oC and the lowest is 16.5oC; at coastal region is 27oC, the highest is 39.9oC and the lowest is 15.8oC.

- Monthly absolute average moisture in a year: at mountainous region fluctuates from 20.1% to 27.9% and the relative one is 79.92%; at coastal region is 27.9% and the relative one is 79%.

- Rainfall: The wet season begins from August to December and the dry season starts from January to July. Particularly to mountainous region, there is an additional wet season from May to August due to impact of wet season at High Land. Dry season lasts from January to August. For mountainous districts, total average rainfall is 1,751 mm. The total rainfall tends to decrease from mountainous to coastal regions and from Northwest to Southeast.

- Storm: Binh Dinh province is located in the central-central part of Vietnam where storms usually land to mainland. Annually, in the coast from Danang city to Khanh Hoa province, averagely 1.04 storms land to with the highest frequence from September to November.

- Wind: The popular direction of wind in Tuy Phuoc district from September to March of the next year is North – Northwest, from April to August is East-Southeast.

Maximum average speed of wind for many years: 45m/s

Minimum average speed of wind for many years: 2.1m/s

Average speed of wind for many years: 28.5m/s

The sub-project construction area is in tropical climate region belonging to the coastal Central-Central Part where has two distinct seasons: wet and dry.

b) Topography

The branch line passes through a topography of flat agricultural land near traffic roads facilitating the gathering materials and equipments and transporting during construction.

c) Pedology

Geological soil here is mostly rich soil of gray and brown-gray, sandy soil mixing with quartz with medium coarse grain of light-gray and yellow-gray colours. The soil is mixed with much of shell and mud in livid and red-blue colour. Its structure is unidentical. Amount of small grit and pebble is large. Thickness of soil layer is from 2m to 4m.

4.3. Natural Resources in the Sub-project Area

* Soil resource: Binh Dinh province has the natural land area of 6,039 km2, 11 groups of soil with 30 diferent types, in which alluvial soil makes up 71,000 ha. There are now nearly 136,350 ha of agricultural land, 249,310 ha of forestry land, 62,870 ha of non-agricultural land and more than 150,000 ha of unused land that can be exploited to develop silviculture and other purposes (statistics in 2009).

* River and stream: River and stream system of Binh Dinh province mostly originates in high mountainous area of the East side of Truong Son range. Rivers and streams are not big with high and short slope, low alluvial content. Their total capacity is 5.2 million m3 amd hydroelectric potentiality is 182.4 million kW. There are 4 big rivers such as Con, Lai Giang, La Tinh and Ha Thanh, some small ones such as Chau Truc or Tam Quan, about 15 artificial lakes and 3 freshwater lagoons making advantageous to agricutural and aquicultural development. Especially, Thi Nai lagoon is favourable for seaport development at national level and contributes to Nhon Hoi economic zone development. Thi Nai lagoon has the biggest bridge crossing the sea in Vietnam today.

* Flora and fauna resources: With conditions of hot and wet climate, much rain and diversified geography and soi, flora of Binh Dinh province is rich of varieties and species. There are 66 ordos, 175 familias and 1,848 species. Wildlife in forests in Binh Dinh province associates with fauna systems of Kong Ha Nung (Gia Lai province), Ba To and Tra Bong (Quang Ngai province), Tra My and Phuoc Son (Quang Nam province) including 7 beast ordos with 19 familias and 38 species and 13 bird ordos with 37 familias and 77 species. However, the project area is far from these zones. Plants are mostly rice, crops and some popular fruit trees and timber trees. Animal are mainly cattles and poultries. Wildlifes are mainly birds, bat, squirrel.

4.4. Transport

The sub-project area has a fairly convinient traffic condition. The sub-project site is about 15 km far from the Highway No.1A, and 200 m far from provincial highway No.640. Because the substation position is closed to the inter-hamlet concrete roads and provincial highway No.640, it’s favourable for equipment transportation and operation management later.

| | | | |day (construction works are in about 2 months) for the substation |

| | | | |construction (see the main volume in table 1). So level of dust and|

| | | | |exhaust in the air is minor. |

|11 |Local traffic obstruction?|x | |- Materials and equipments are transported from the yards and |

| | | | |storehouses of PMU to the sub-project areas with suitable packing. |

| | | | |After that, they are transported to the construction sites by 5-7 |

| | | | |ton trucks. |

| | | | |- Building materials such as: sand, stones, cement will be supplied|

| | | | |by the local suppliers and transported directly to the construction|

| | | | |sites. |

| | | | |- With average using frequency of transporting means as above (item|

| | | | |9) and constructing activities such as soil excavating, conductor |

| | | | |stretching, they will cause local traffic obstruction. However, |

| | | | |local traffic is thin and the time for loading materials (sand, |

| | | | |stone, soil, …) is loaded by the transporting means so the effect |

| | | | |level is minor. |

|12 |Any damage or degrading to| |x |All materials and equipment are packed with suitable weight for |

| |rural traffic-ways and | | |transporting on roads. Traffic roads here are asphalted (Highway |

| |traffic safety? | | |No.1A, provincial highway No.640 and other inter-hamlet roads). |

|13 |Risks or damages to | |x |In the sub-project area, there is little wildlife. The permanently |

| |biological diversity? | | |acquired land area is about 5,690.76 m2 and temporarily affected |

| | | | |land area is 450 m2 of mainly rice farm. Therefore, the level of |

| | | | |flora clearance and effected on fauna is unnoticeable. In sum, the |

| | | | |sub-project does not cause risks or damages to biological |

| | | | |diversity. |

|14 |Solid waste of soil |x | |Solid waste is generated when constructing such as soil excavation |

| |excavation, tree cutting | | |(remains of soil and stones) or constructing activities (fragmented|

| |in ROW and constructing | | |iron, stones, sand, plastic bottles, cement wraps). The impacts of |

| |activities? | | |solid waste will be minimized through waste reduction practice and |

| | | | |the other measures presented in item 6.1 of this EMP. |

|15 |Effect on environment by |x | |It’s scheduled to build up a camp in the substation area for |

| |the workers? | | |workers. House will be rent from local people and used as |

| | | | |storehouses. So living waste water and garbage of workers will |

| | | | |affect on surrounding environment if having no environmental |

| | | | |protection measures. However, construction site arrangement is |

| | | | |always concerned by PMU and shown in bidding document and contract |

| | | | |condition. So there will be measures for each separate |

| | | | |environmental issues such as: making septic tank, drainage, in |

| | | | |compliance with local regulations. So, effect on environment by |

| | | | |the workers is inconsiderable. Relevant mitigation measures |

| | | | |presented in item 6.1 of this EMP will be carried out to minimize |

| | | | |environmental impacts from workers. |

|16 |Conflicts between |x | |- There is difference between the workers and local people about |

| |construction workers and | | |income, lifestyle and custom. However, there is not deep conflict |

| |local people? | | |between them because they use the same of Vietnamese in their |

| | | | |communication. The workers have to obey regulations of contractors |

| | | | |as well as the local. In order to minimize conflicts, the |

| | | | |sub-project uses some local labors in manual work. So, no deep |

| | | | |conflicts between them occur. |

| | | | |- Otherwise, the sub-project will bring benefit to the local people|

| | | | |so that getting the greeting of them as well as the closed |

| | | | |coordination of Local Authorities. |

|17 |Effect on health and |x | |Accidents can occur during construction if safety regulations are |

| |safety of workers and | | |not obeyed such as: checking tools before use, setting up dagerous |

| |local people? | | |signals at sites of pole foundation, generators and conductor |

| | | | |stretching and working above. These accidents can occur not only on|

| | | | |the workers but also on local people. However, all safety |

| | | | |construction methods are complied with regulations, so these risks |

| | | | |can be mitigated. These risks can be minimized by applying |

| | | | |mitigation measures presented in item 6.1 of this EMP. |

|18 |Fire and explosion by |x | |In the past, this area was at war. However, it was the past 36 |

| |mines or bombs remaining | | |years, this area has been exploited, used and constructed many |

| |from the war? | | |works, so remained landmines or bombs are unnoticeable. NPMU will |

| | | | |contract with army unit to check and set up a method to disarm them|

| | | | |before constructing. |

|In stage of operation |

|19 |Development and |x | |- Take a main role in attraction the investment and developing |

| |improvement in living | | |local economy because electricity cannot be short in industrial |

| |standards? | | |production. |

| | | | |- Assist the local people in developing agriculture, services |

| | | | |including health and education. |

|20 |Fragmentation of flora and| |x |- The sub-project does not build temporary access road. |

| |fauna habitats due to | | |- After constructing the substation, construction sites will be |

| |easier access by human | | |rearranged as prior, vegetation cover and trees in the ROW under 4m|

| | | | |electrical safety issues had been calculated in order to avoid |

| | | | |harmful to operators as well as people. Before the sub-project |

| | | | |taken into practice, all safe technical indicators have to be |

| | | | |specified through testing to ensure meeting the standards and |

| | | | |regulations with the witness of PMU, Contractors and Operation |

| | | | |Management Unit. So, local people and operators will not be harmful|

| | | | |by electric magnetic field. |

|23 |Effect on airplanes, | |x |The sub-project area is mainly agricultural land without species of|
