CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION
1.1. BACKGROUND O F PROJECT The project named Vietnam Urban Upgrading Project ( V W ) is the first major project in the national program supported by the World Bank. 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 infiastructure and services improvements (referred to hereafter as tertiary infiastructure) to low-income communities already identified in the cities. 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 activate 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 fiom the project as well as contribute to the upgrading works. The VUUP - HCMC sub-project is a part of VUUP operates in Ho Chi Minh City. Ho Chi Minh City has a population of over 6 million of which approximately one-third are poor households living in infiastructuredeficient, low-income areas. The highest concentration of low-income communities is located in Districts that are within the Tan Hoa-Lo Gom (TEI-LG) that is the cause the sub-project is concentrated in the Tan Hoa - Lo Gom (TEI-LG) Canal Basin in the western part of the city. Objectives of the sub-project are:
To alleviate poverty in urban areas To improve the living and environment conditions of the low-income communities, and to help reorganize the city To build and develop housing find that the urban poor are willing and able to pay for To provide assistance for the city authorities with land and housing management to speed-up the process of granting Land Use Certificates (LUGS) for the poor
Principles of the sub-project are: Community participation Minimize relocation or resettlement Multi-sectoral participation Size of investment depends on the stake-holder participation Apply lessons learnt fiom similar projects Engineering standards are appropriate for the communities' demands and capacity Take city master plan and local area plan into account Make surveys for primary and secondary infiastructure and plans for linking with tertiary infiastructure Identify services that communities have to contribute
= Have works done with the approval of the consultants and according to the Vietnam's and WB's procedures

13.2. Vietnamese Policy and Administrative Framework on Environmental Assessment
Vietnam's most relevant environmental policies for environmental assessment are: Administrative framework In Vietnam, the Ministry of Science, Technology and Environment (MOSTE), formed in October 1992, was the top decision-making body with overall responsibility for the environmental sector until 2002 when the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MONRE) was established. Decree No 91/2002/ND.CP on the functions, tasks, powers and organisational structure of the MONRE was promulgated on November 1 1,2002. Within the Ministry, the National Environmental Agency (NEA) develops legislation and regulations, programs, controls and monitoring systems for environmental protection throughout the country, and serves in a coordinating capacity with the environmental management function of other Ministries. In addition, local environmental authorities can have an important role in environmental management and enforcement of regulations, depending on the will of the local People's Committee. For the Project, the framework's relevant institutes are as follows:
+ Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MONRE). This new ministry will include four vice-ministers, 16 departments, one newspaper, and one magazine. The MONRE will merge numerous departments from several national agencies. These are outlined in Decree 91/2002/ND.CP: Providing for the functions, duties, powers and organisational structure of the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment.
+ Environmental Impact Assessment and appraisal Department. This Department is under MONRE. According to Decree 91/2002/ND.CP, the Department's function includes: To appraise environmental impact assessment reports of projects and of business and production establishments. The Environmental Impact Assessment and Appraisal Department is guided by Vietnam's established regulatory fiamework: i.e. LEP, Circular 490, CP 175, Decree 143/2004/ND.CP, etc.
+ The city's Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DoNRE) was formed in late 2003. DoNRE houses an Environmental Management Division (EMD). The EMD is responsible for ensuring environmental protection and management of provincial matter's in accordance with LEP, Decree 175, 143/2004/ND.CP dated July 12, 2004 amended and added to Article 14 and Circular 490. Hence, it is DONRE - and in particular, the EMD - that plays the key regulatory role during project construction and operation.
Applicable Standards The following environmental standards, as set by MOSTE in 1995.2002 and by MONRE in 2005 of specific important to the TH-LG project illustrated in Table 1.1.

2.2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF SECTORIAL PROJECT NO. 4
LIAs mainly focus in districts of Tan Hoa - Lo Gom basin. This is the basin with poor sanitation and drainage system and easily flooded with water. Some households have legal DPers and almost households do not have. Their houses were built along cannal embankment, when implementing the project, many households must relocate for improving cannals and roads along cannal embankment. Tan Hoa - Lo Gom cannal alignment is located in the south.west of the city, expanding from the north to the south through 4 districts: Tan Binh District (Bau Cat area), Tan Phu District, District No. 1 1 and District No. 6. Final part of this cannal alignment is connected with Tau Hu cannal. Total population of this basin is about 750,000 people. The length of Tan Hoa - Lo Gom basin is 7.4 km. Innitially, this is a small drainage pipeline with the length of about 3.5 km, discharging into Lo Gom cannal of 4km. Bordering to Tau Hu cannal, this cannal alignment is about 60m wide and 3m deep. This basin comprises commercial and industrial bases and series of buildings, including sky.scRPers and 1ow.roofed houses.

23. FINAL DESIGN OF SECTORIAL PROJECT NO. 4
23.1. Canal Bank Protection
23.1.1. Canal Sections
On soft soil section, located at the first 1.40km section of the canal, ground settlement will be allowed on a regulated basis by providing the optimum height of embankment with sloped masonry walls on wooden piles. The proposed ground improvement for the roads on both sides of the canal coupled with the sloped embankment of the channel will tend to stabilize both the road and the canal embankment. For the Canal Bank and Embankment Protection the following is presented in Table 2.1.

For the Road embankment, the recommendation is to apply net fill heights with 0.7m to 1.2m and over heights of 0.20m. After approximately 10 years the design level of the road (finished grade) will be reached. After approximately 15 to 20 years maintenance of the roads will be necessary. This means an extra fill of 0,lOm to 0,15m. If maintenance is not desirable after 15 to 20 years, the extra fill has to be adjusted to a higher level. It has to be mentioned that it is not necessary to compensate the end-settlements during construction time. The cross-sections of typical of Bank Protection are presented in Annex 2.1.

23.2. Roads and Bridges
23.2.1. Roads
Soft soil section along the project site stretch 4.40 kilometers long fiom the beginning of the project. It doesn't differ fiom the sub-soil condition of the channel and embankment where the necessary ground improvement and modification has to be considered to avoid further settlement and to attain a reliablelstable road sub-grade.
The top of the (vertical) embankment for THLG has been designed and decided on +2.10m. This level has been chosen because of the certain height of the embankment due to prevention of flooding of urban areas. The level of the road embankment in the design (Road finish grade) varies along the canal and should be referred in construction drawings of the roads.
Section Km 0+000 - Km 1+400: In order to guarantee the stability of the canal (km0+000 to km 1+400, downstream), soil improvement up to a level of at least .l1.50 m is needed while the amount of soil added to the existing ground level to reach the road design level must be limited to 1.5 and preferably to 1 m. With the present design, additional levels reach 1.80 m (at chainage 0+280 km). It is strongly suggested to limit the over height as much as possible, to limit settlements, and generally additions should not exceed 1.2 m. In this section cement piles are used. Due to this construction near the canal mouth (km OM00 to km 1+400) settlements are much reduced and no hrther action is required. Section Km 1+400 - Km 4+366: At the two other locations with deep mud layers (up to 10 m deep), cement piles may not be required, as the settlement after the project can be limited by cleverly playing with the settlements during construction. Section Km 4+366 to the end: Roads above culvert box
Roads over proposed RCBC and on stiff soil section: Standard road section comprising of designed Subbase Course, Base Course, and Surface Course (preferably multi-layer of Bituminous Concrete) shall be adopted.
Roads on soft soil section: Roads shall be constructed on improved ground or modified sub.- soil by Deep Soil Mixing (DSM) or other acceptable soil improvement method to prevent substantial settlement.
Road Drainage: By Curb and Gutter, Combination Curb Inlet and Manhole, underground Pipe System
Recommended Typical Road Sections and its corresponding pavement structure is shown in the drawings presented in Annex 2.2.
2.2.2.2. Bridges
There are 12 Bridges identified to cross the THLG Canal and 2 Bridges along side-- road crossing over canals connecting and draining towards THLG Channel. The Table below shows the summary of the Bridges Crossing THLG Canal. It also shows the bridges that run parallel to the canal and crossing channels that connect and drain towards THLG Canal.

23.3. Miscellaneous and ancillary works
23.3.1. Street and Roadway Lighting in Urban Areas
Good visibility under day or night conditions is one of the hndamental requirements enabling motorists to move on roadways in a safe and coordinated manner. Breakaway poles shall not be used on streets in densely developed areas, particularly with sidewalk. When struck these poles could interfere with pedestrians and cause damage to adjacent buildings. Because of lower speed and parked vehicles, there is much less chances of injuries to vehicle occupants fiom striking fixed poles on a street as compared to a highway. Warrants for the justification of street lighting involve more than just identifying a roadway classification. Pedestrian and vehicular volume, night.to.day accident ratio, roadway geometry, merging lanes, curves, and intersections all require carehl consideration in establishing illumination levels. When illumination levels provided for various roadway, walkway, and area classification are not influenced by these considerations, the suggested minimum levels of illumination expressed in average maintained horizontal lux) are contained in Table following next. Illumination levels at intersections shall be the sum of illumination levels on intersecting streets at the intersection.
Table 2 3 - Minimum Illumination Levels
+ So for the Residential Roadways the average lux shall not be more than six times the lux value for the poorest lit areas.
+ Because glare is also an indication of the quality of lighting, the type of fixtures and the height at which the light source are mounted are also factors in design of street lighting systems. The objectives of the designer shall be to minimize visual discomfort and impairment of driver and pedestrian vision due to glare.

The uniformity of the lighting is an indication of the quality of illumination and shall be considered along with illumination levels. Uniformity of illumination can be represented by a uniformity ratio of the average-to-minimum lux values on the roadway or walkway surface. Recommended uniform ratios are as follows:

2.2.4. Combined Sewer Overflow and Pumping station
The interceptor sewers are designed to carry the peak dry-weather flows (as estimated for year 2020) which will then be discharged to a wastewater treatment plant. The interceptor sewers will not have sufficient capacity to convey wet weather flows, and it is therefore necessary to divert the excess diluted wastewater (resulting fiom storm water runoff) into the canal.
Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) diversion structures will be constructed either at or just upstream of the drainage pipe outlets, depending on site conditions, with connections to the interceptors (for wastewater) and to the canal for excess storm-water flows. As most of the pipe outlets are affected by tides flap gates will be required as part of these diversion structure to restrict the influence of tides. Typical configurations of CSO structures are shown in Figure 2.7A and 2.7B. One major practical issue anticipated with the use of flap gates is that it is possible that debrislsolid waste material could be trapped by the gates and hence affecting its function. To overcome this, screens have been incorporated into the design of the CSOs to trap any solid waste before they reach the flap gates.
The arrangement of CSOs, interceptors, pumping station and overflow are shown schematically in Figure 2.8.

Sectoral Project ~b.4: Improvement of Canal, Embankment and Roads Along Tan Hoa - Lo Gom Canal
2.2.4.2. Interceptor Sewers
The use of a box culvert for the upstream section of the canal (to minimize social dislocation); The location of the terminal pumping station (at the downstream end of the THLG Canal adjacent to Nguyen Van Luong Street in District 6); and For the route of the conveyance pipelines to the wastewater treatment plant (which will initially follow the corridor of the East-West Highway).
Some agreement has also been reached regarding the location of the wastewater treatment plant which should be at one of two alternative sites in Binh Chanh District.
These developments influence the choice for the interceptor sewer, and a single deep interceptor sewer constructed by pipe-jacking is now proposed for the following reasons:
The use of a box culvert for the upstream section of the THLG Canal means that the interceptor sewer will need to be of relatively large diameter throughout its length; The identification of a site for the terminal pumping station at the downstream end of the THLG Canal means that the interceptor system will drain in one direction only (ie in a downstream direction), and the sewer will therefore be relatively deep at the point of discharge into the screening chamber of the pumping station. The geotechnical evaluation has indicated that ground conditions in the lower part of the canal basin are likely to be poor, and construction of a large diameter sewer in a deep open excavation in these ground conditions will be extremely difficult with considerable risk of ground movement and expensive. Construction of the interceptor sewer by pipe-jacking will be less disruptive than construction in a deep open excavation, and will allow greater flexibility in the phasing with other project components such as the canal improvements and the canal embankments.
The layout and longitudinal profile of the proposed interceptor sewer and the location of the pump station are shown in Figure 2.30. A summary of the hydraulic design of the main interceptor sewer is given in Table 2.5. Other interceptor sewers will be required along the Bau Trau Canal and the Dam Sen Canal. These other interceptor sewers would be smaller in diameter and shallower, and would be constructed in open excavation.

2.5. DREDGING TECHNICAL AND CONSTRUCTION PROCESS
2.5.1. Dredging Technical
At the beginning of the Project (Section 1 & 2), the "Sealed Clamshell Dredging Method" is likely appropriate for the Project because of the limited access and the tidal effect on the channel that make it suitable for navigation and easy disposal system by barge or water transport should proven effective. On the upstream section (Section 5 & 6) where the canal section is approximately 5.10 meters wide and where multi-cell RC Box Culvert shall be located dredginglexcavation by backhoe is more suitable than any other method. He agility of this machine is more effective at very tight location. The picture of the Backhoe in operation is presented as below. On the upstream section (Section 3&4), a conventional "Sealed Clamshell Dredging Method" is also suitable. However, disposal of debris shall be by land transport.

However, most of HCMC lies at an elevation of less than 2 m above mean sea level. Natural drainage is thus dificult and problems with drainage occur in half of the southern area and most parts of the central city area. During high tides, the drains are backed up so when there is also heavy rainfall, seriously flooding occur many places in the city. The tidal amplitude ranges fiom 2.5 to 3.5m.

The Tan Hoa - Lo Gorn basin has two distinct parts sloping towards the canal and can be divided into two main zones. There is relatively high land covering the upper part of the canal as part of District 11 and Tan Phu (between 6 and 8 meters above the sea level). The West and South part of the Lo Gorn basin is above 2.0 meters while Binh Chanh District and District 8 are low-lying swampy areas. Much of district 6, 8 and 11 are below the 2 meters elevation that is considered an important border since the river tidal range reaches to about 1.3 meters above MSL. Experience shows that gravity ditches and conduits can effectively drain land above 2 meters while, below 2m, sewers and drainage are tidally affected.

3.1.3. Soil condition
Pleistocene sediment deposits cover the Tan Hoa - Lo Gorn catchments. The main composition is sand and clay. In low areas along the canal, layers of surface resulting fiom the rapid urbanization covered. According to the Service of Communication and Public Works, geology on the whole catchments is relatively favourable for construction of drainage works without special foundation. On the other hand, the geological study at the Pham Van Chi bridge base shows that land here is very weak. The Groundwater table is around 0.9 - 2.2 meters deep in dry season and may rise to 0.15 - 0.5 meters in rainy season. In the low lying areas of the catchments, the groundwater table is tidally affected, which affects the construction of any drainage system.
3.1.4.1. Tan Hoa - Lo Gom Canal System
Tan Hoa - Lo Gorn canal is located at the South-West periphery of inner city. The canal starts fiom Tan Phu district (Bau Cat area) and ends at the Lo Gorn - Tau Hu estuary. The TH-LG canal flows fiom the North-East to South-West and runs through districts Tan Phu, 11, 6, and 8. Its total length is about 16,870 meters, of which the main canal is 7,600 meters and branch canals are about 9,270 meters. The canal bed is getting narrower all the time due to illegal construction and irresponsible discharge of solid waste and building materials into the canal particularly near the bridges. The present average width and depth of the canal in each section are as follows:

Due to the heavy rainfall in the rainy season, the canal is less polluted because the wastewater is diluted and discharged directly into the river. However, the canal is getting narrower and consolidated and during heavy rainfalls, storm water cannot be discharged immediately downstream. Survey results indicate the following.

influenced by tidal effects in the Saigon River and other nearby rivers. The undergroundlclosed conduit systems are also influenced by tidal effects. The THLG basin and existing drainagelsewerage system are shown in Figure 3.5. There are several systems of inter-connected underground conduits that convey stormwater runoff and wastewater in the THLG Canal basin. The stormwater runoff and sewage collected is discharged through 3 1 main outlets which have been identified, most of which are connected to the THLG Canal. Many of the outlets are located below the normal canal water level. There are a few low-lying areas in the basin that act as natural flood storage areas and mainly collect local stormwater runoff or overflows fiom flood events. A review of the information currently available and discussions with relevant departments revealed that the discharge capacities of the canals and the underground systems are inadequate, resulting in fiequent flooding and surcharging of the system, even for minor rainfall events. The flooding condition is made worse by the tidal influence on the canals fiom the Saigon River and other rivers during rainfalllflooding events. Flood inundation areas in the Tan Hoa-Lo Gom canal basin is shown in Figure 3.6.

The results of water quality analysing in 2002 and 2009 are presented in Appendix 33. The water quality characteristics of the TH-LG Canal and downstream may be summarised as follows: + Results indicated that seasonal effects are more limited than those exhibited by tidal
cycles. Almost all monitoring parameters at all sites show high variability, with no clear correlation between contaminant concentration /distribution and seasonal factors. This characteristic is attributed to the intermittent flows of high concentration industrial wastewater to the TH-LG Canal commonly associated with batch processing activities from some industries.
+ The most conspicuous element of the water quality conditions concerns the very high levels of organic pollution both in 2002 and 2009 survey, as reflected in very high BOD and COD values, particularly under low flow conditions at Stations A2 to A4. During neap tide low water conditions where low flows and reduced tidal excursion interact, Stations A4 and A5 showed the highest recorded COD levels 2,360 mgll (2002) and 81 1mgII (2009) in relation to a compliance standard of 50 mgIl for B2 Class of QCVN 08:2008. However, COD value in 2009 sampling time seem to be decreased.
+ DO values at all the TH-LG Canal sites are very low both in 2002 and 2009 sampling times (usually below 1 mgll), and there is little evidence that tidal exchange exerts significant influence on these values other than downstream of Station A5. The only station where significant changes were recorded between high and low water was Reference Station RA8, which was the only station complying with the QCVN 08:2008 . B2 Class standard of >2 mgll. Under low tide conditions no stations achieved compliance.
+ Temperature conditions are generally high but particularly hot effluent (>360 C) at Station A2 is probably indicative of discharges fiom the textile sector in Tan Phu District (bleaching and dying).
+ Faecal coliforms values recorded in 2002 also 2009 exceeded the standard values of QCVN 08:2008 (10,000/100ml) by several orders of magnitude and conspicuously so at Station A3 (spring tide, high water and at Stations A4 and A5 (neap tide, high b water) with maximum values of 13 * 10 /100ml.
Generally heavy metal concentrations in water at all monitoring locations and in all monitoring times (2002 and 2009) were below the QCVN 08:2008 B2 Class value. The high toxicity metals including Mercury (Hg), Cadmium (Cd) and Arsenic (As) were present only at very low levels and in many instances fell below detection limits (0.1 . 0.2 pgIl). Zinc (Zn) and Chromium (Cr) were the most commonly occurring metals, and chromium in 2002 significantly exceeded the QCVN standard at Stations A1 to A6 under different tidal conditions. Both Zn and Cr are closely associated with textile (bleaching and dyeing), tanning, and metal-finishing industries and these values generally correspond to the high values of these metals found in sediments, and to the industrial structure in the catchment. It is concluded that because metals are commonly adsorbed to the organic surfaces of particulates under these conditions, it is to be expected that they would be more evident in association with the sediments than in the water column

Source: Feasibility Study, 2003. Remarks: According to the Table 3.16, it shows that: most of analyzed parameters are meet standard TCVN 5944 - 1995. Apart fiom Fe parameter, it exceeded the standard in many times. In general, ground water in project area has slightly pollution by Fe, so that all well did not meet the Standard of Domestic Water supply in urban area issued by MOH
Mn (m%l)
The high toxicity components (Hg, Cd, and As) were generally low in all locations and were below detection limits in some cases. The metals most fiequently exceeding the standards were Zn, Cr, Pb and Ni, which occurred at seven of the eight stations monitored (87.5%) (The location and coding of the water and sediment quality monitoring stations is described and illustrated in Table 3.13). The detail of analysic results are presented in Annex 33. In terms of distribution, Station A4 and Station A6 recorded the highest frequency of metals exceeding the PEL standards, fol.lowed by Reference Station RA7 (outside the canal). When stations are ranked in relation to the highest metal concentrations for all parameters, Station 6 (opposite Pham Van Chi Street) is conspicuous as maintaining the worst overall sediment quality. Surprisingly Reference Station RA7 in the downstream receiving waters was the second most polluted site but Reference Station RA8 was the cleanest. The very high metal values in sediments at Station A6, which are not evident in the water column, may be related to the very high BOD, COD and SS values recorded in the water column and high sediment TOC values, which play an important part in the binding of trace metals through sorption or complexation.

It is noticeable that Station A5 generally shows much lower values than both upstream and downstream stations, however very high lead levels were recorded at this location and it seems likely this is related to the battery production enterprises in this area of the catchments. It is observable that recorded PAHs are present in the sediments at moderately high concentrations. The major route of entry of PAHs into the environment results from spillage of crude oil or petroleum products, and through industrial processes (gas manufacture). PAHs are of concern because they are carcinogens, are persistent in the environment, and some forms produce cell damage in aquatic organisms. These anthropogenic PAHs reach the aquatic environment in industrial and domestic wastewater discharges, through surface run.off and through deposition of airborne particulates. In the present case, the very high PAH values recorded at Station A4 are attributable to the direct dumping of oil waste adjacent to the bridge. This practice, has been observed by the project team, and appears to be a routine form of disposal at this location. In March 2009, CEECO Consultant carried out the environmental monitoring for SP.04 EIA study, one sampling occasion was conducted for sediment quality of Tan Hoa Lo Gom and downstream canals, the locations of sampling sites were at the same with 2002 sampling time. The results of pollutants analysis 2009 are presented in Table 3.17.
Table 3.17 - Sediment quality analysed in 2009 in comparison with 2002 sampling time
Remarks: According to the Table 3.17 it shows that: all parameters (apart fiom Hg and As parameters) was higher than the PEL value in some sampling station but still meet the value for disposal at a landfill both in 2002 and 2009 sampling times. In general, sludge in the bottom of Tan Hoa Lo Gom canal was contaminated by heavy metal especially by Pb parameter, so the sludge will be assemment carehlly before disposal.

Investigation of wastewater discharges fiom sewer outlets to the TH-LG Canal to determine wastewater characteristics including linkages to industrial sources was undertaken and included:
78,24
+ Survey of the existing situation, and flows of all 21 operating sewer outlets that discharge into the TH-LG Canal
+ Analysis of physics-chemical characteristics of wastewater fiom these sewer outlets + Preliminary evaluation of wastewater sources + Provision of input data for water quality analysis to assist determination of the
preferred wastewater treatment option. The survey subsequently investigated the 21 sewer outlets to the TH-LG canal that were identified as the principal wastewater discharge points. For each sewer outlet, flow measurement was carried out over a 12.hour period (fiom 6 am to 6 pm). Sewage samples were taken only during low water conditions when the flow was directly discharging to the canal. Limiting factors in flow monitoring in the TH-LG sewers is determined partly by the existing elevation constraint. The elevation and gradient of the sewers means that 50% of the monitored outlets can only be measured for 6.7 hours due to tidal conditions as flow reversal occurs during high water. Similarly because flow monitoring could only be undertaken over a 12.hour period, it has been necessary to assume that peak water consumption occurs during daytime. In practice, batch processing in certain industries may mean peak discharges fiom certain sources occur at night, outside the main monitoring period. Taking into account these factors it is estimated that the current total wastewater discharge fiom the main sewers is about 1.6 m3/s. However, it should be noted, that this figure does not include flows fiom the three substantial sewer outlets at Hau Giang Bridge (C9), Ong Buong Bridge (C13) and Nguyen Can Street (C19) because of data uncertainties associated with tidal contributions to the recorded flows during monitoring. The results of wastewater in sewer are detailed in Appendix 3.4. In summary the analysis indicates the following:

+ Most of the in-situ sewage measurements indicated that DO levels were less than 1 mg/l, which is not surprising due to the industrial sources but is still extremely low. The wastewater temperature varied fiom 29.7OC to 35.6OC, with 81% of samples showing temperatures of less than 32OC (ambient) and 14% of samples recording temperatures greater than 34°C. This applies especially to the group of sewer outfalls at Hoa Binh Bridge where effluent sources include food processing, bleaching and dyeing, paper and plastic processing industries.
+ pH values varied around 7 (fiom 5.07 to 7.41) and although not changing much according to time, higher values were generally recorded in the morning, reaching a peak at mid day, and decreasing in the afternoon. Some sewers showed pH values which varied significantly, especially upstream sewers such as C16 (Tan Hoa Bridge), C22 (100 m downstream Hoa Binh Bridge), C23 and C24 (to the left and right of Hoa Binh Bridge), and C27 (at Huynh Van Chinh Bridge)
+ The rapid pH fluctuations in some sewers probably reflects batch processing activities by industry, and needs to be taken into consideration when designing the TH-LG wastewater treatment system. The current findings are consistent with the previous study results.
+ The monitored suspended solids (SS) values varied fiom 43 mg/l to 91 5 mgll. Most samples meet TCVN 5945.2005 Class C, and nearly 20% of samples meet TCVN 1995 Class B. Only in one case did the SS significantly exceed TCVN Class C (Hoa Binh Bridge - C23) where 915 mg/l was recorded. Overall the results showed a high level of consistency with previous studies.
+ Recorded COD and BOD values are extremely high. None of the recorded COD concentrations comply with TCVN 5945.2005 Class B, and 50% fail to comply with the Class C standards. Similarly, for BOD5, 80% of samples failed to comply with TCVN 5945.2005 Class C. 95% of samples show COD values in the range of 1 1 1.1,000 mg/l(557 mg/l on average) and 95% of samples also show BOD5 in the range of 48 to 457 mg/l (31 1 mgll on average). One sample was characterised by extremely high COD and BOD5 concentrations of 3,225 mg/l and 2,000 mg/l respectively. The BODICOD ratio is within the range of 0.56 - 0.75 (mean =0.56) which is consistent with the 0.55 average recorded in the CEFINEA (2000) study.
3.4.5. Air Quality and Noise in Tan Hoa -Lo Gom Canal Basin
The air quality in TH-LG Canal basin is significantly affected by: + Foul odour fiom TH-LG canal due to the presence of NH3, H2S, VOC, and
pollutants generated fiom wastewater and fiom surrounding industries + Industrial air emissions fiom a wide range of SMEs located in residential areas + Air emissions fiom vehicles and traffic congestion + Air emissions fiom routine cooking activities, and other services The impact of bad air quality in canal-side communities is evident both through the incidence of respiratory disease among local people, and the damage to infrastructure and domestic equipment near the canal. The public has expressed particular concern about air pollution during interviews and in community focus group consultation.
= Baseline air quality monitoring in the TH-LG project area was undertaken in November 2002 at four stations in order to verifj, existing conditions. Sampling was undertaken at two time periods; off peak hours (10 am and 3:00 pm) and peak hours when traffic flows are at their maximum (7:OO am and 5:00 pm). The four stations were selected on the basis that all might be potentially affected by the proposed TH-

Environmental Impact Assessment Report: VietNam Urban Upgrading Project - Ho Chi Minh Sub-Project Sectorial Project No.4: Improvement of Canal and Roads Along Tan Hoa -Lo Gom Canal
LG infrastructure development programme, but gives also general idea of the air quality in THGL canal basin: + Phu Lam Roundabout - the intersection of Nguyen Vu Road and routes from Tan
Hoa are transport pressure points with routine congestion during peak hours. This site was selected on the grounds that canal side road development (north-south links) proposed for the TH-LG basin project may modify peak traffic flows and subsequent emissionslair quality.
+ Nguyen Van Luong Street in District 6, is the proposed location of the sewage pumping station site of TH-LG project
+ The Hoa Binh Bridge monitoring station will represent the southern end/intersection of the new 20 metre north-south road between Hoa Binh and Au Co in District 10 of Tan Phu District
+ The Hau Giang Bridge (near the canal) was seen as representative of canal-side conditions, which will also be subject to a wide range of construction activities
The detailed results are presented in Appendix 3.5 and summarized as follows: + N@, SO2, and CO concentrations do not exceed threshold limit values based on
ambient air quality (TCVN 5937, 5938.2005) at the four monitoring locations at the different time periods.
+ The concentration of suspended particulates exceeded the air quality standard most of the time - of 16 observations at 4 stations only the stations at Hau Giang Bridge and Nguyen Van Luong Street (the pumping station site) complied with the standard during off peak hours but these stations were also non-compliant during peak hours.
+ NH3 and C& concentrations are higher than the allowable standard in populated areas, especially at measured locations near Hau Giang Bridge and Hoa Binh Bridge There was no significant difference between NH3 and C& concentrations measured during different monitoring periods, so in the absence of any correlation with time and traffic conditions, it is concluded that the high values of these parameters are almost certainly associated with emissions from TH-LG Canal.
+ The trafic conditions do strongly influence some air quality parameters, and this was noticeable at Phu Lam Roundabout when very high trafic volumes (3,906 motorcycles and 802 card15 minutes) during peak hours result in a near doubling of NO2 values during peak traffic flows time compared with off peak periods.
+ In general, the two stations of Phu Lam Roundabout & Hoa Binh Bridge had worse air quality than the other locations and this is attributed entirely to higher traffic volumes.
Noise monitoring results from DONRE indicate that noise at most roundabouts and road junctions exceeds permitted limits, being in the range of 80.85 dBA, and even up to 98 dBA. Results from recent noise monitoring indicated that noise at most measured sites exceed threshold limit values based on allowable noise levels in residential areas (TCVN 5949.1998), especially at Phu Lam Roundabout. At peak periods traffic noise levels reached up to 93 dBA.
3.4.6. Ecological resource
The project area is located in the urban area (District N.6 and N. 11, Tan Phu District) so there is no typical ecosystem in the project and surrounding area, except planted trees along both side of several existing roads.

Recent biological surveys undertaken in September 1998-1999 and June 2002 showed the THLG Canal bed to be contaminated with no evidence of zoobenthos, and only some species of phytoplankton and zooplankton found. Most phytoplankton and zooplankton were distributed from Hau Giang Bridge to the confluence with the THBN Canal downstream, while upstream of Hau Giang Bridge only disintergrated organisms were detected. The surveys detected 33 species of phytoplankton during the dry season and 46 species during the rainy season, comprising mainly Cyanophyta (45%) Euglenophyta (24%) which are indicators of polluted water. Other species found include Coscinodiscus jonessianus, Coscinodicus radiatus, Chaetoceros compactum, Gymsigma acuminatum, which are indicators of brackish water, Arthroprra gomotiana, Phormidium fragile, Eunotia sudetica, Eunotia tautonensis, Navicula grevilleana, Closteriopsis longissima which are indicators of for acid water, and Stephanodiscus sp. and Scenedesmus which are indicators of organic polluted water. The phytoplankton quantity is very high from 279,000 celVm3 in dry season (dominant with Cyclotella meneghiniana) to 642,000,000 cel Vm3 (Stephanodiscus sp. dominant). Twelve species of zooplankton were found (10 species in the dry season and 7 species in the rainy season). Rotatoria species were dominant (40%). Species found include Platyias patulus, Heterocypris anomala which are indicators for acid water. Species Rotaria neptunia, Philodina roseola, Brachionus urceus, Bosmina longirostris, Moina dubia, Mesocyclops leuckarti, Zoothamium arbuscula indicate polluted water at medium-level (mesosaprobic) to high-level (polysaprobic). The phytoplankton quantity varied from 1,300 to 2,300 celVm3,

CHAPTER FOUR ASSESSMENT OF THE POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
OF THE PROJECT
4.1. IMPACTS IDENTIFICATION AND CLASSIFICATION
The project "Improvement of Canal, Embankment and Roads Along Tan Hoa - Lo Gom Canal" is considered as Sectoral Project No.4, Hochiminh Urban Upgrading Project belonging Vietnam Urban Upgrading Project.
This project will produce both advantages and disadvantage in term of economy, society and environment. Such positive impacts and negative impacts are predicted and classified as follows.
4.1.1. Positive impacts
Once finished, the project will provide much positive benefits in long term which are the followings:
Surface water quality in Tan Hoa - Lo Gom will be improved because drainage ability of Tan Hoa - Lo Gom increase significantly. In the fbture when a WWTP will be constructed, water quality in Tan Hoa - Lo Gom and related canals in the downstream area will be remarkably improved. Thanks to the improvement of drainage ability and water quality, flooding in this area will be reduced, and public health will be improved as water borne diseases will be decreased. Aesthetic improvements will also result from improve landscaping and the construction of parks and walkways along the canal. Furthermore, land value and land-use will be change in the positive trend, and economic activities will also be increase.
4.1.2. Negative impacts
This EIA report mainly mentioned about negative impacts in three stages: Project Design and Pre-construction Phase, Construction Phase and Operation Phase (see Table 4.1 for details).

4.2. IMPACT ASSESSMENT IN PROJECT DESIGN AND PRE- CONSTRUCTION PHASE
4.2.1. Socio-economic impacts by encroachment on land use
The potential positive socio-economic impacts of the project have been analyzed in RAP. In this EIA Study only negative impacts on local socio-economy caused by the change in land- use due to the encroachment of the project are analyzed. The major socio-economic negative impacts are identified as follows.
Often, the lands and neighborhoods selected are those of "vulnerable groups" who can least afford the costs of dislocation and whose living environment is already impaired. If these considerations are not included in project, there is substantial risk of solving one community's environmental problem by transferring it to another.
The potential negative impacts of improper compensation and resettlement can be identified as below:
To conflict between investor and households due to improper compensation and resettlement. These causes complicated social issues and the project timefiame will be delayed. Life of people being resettled will be disordered due to loses of land and time to familiarize with new place resettlement. Income of people living in the STP site will be impacted if their work is influenced.
Statistics of impacted land, houses and architectures is presented in Table 4.2.

In order to evaluate the level ofthese impacts, the following criteria are used (Larry W. Canter, 1997):
= No effect: There is no effect of any kind (that is, neither harmful or beneficial) on the historic properties.
HanhNguyen pagoda
No adverse effect: There could be an effect, but the effect would not be harmful to those characteristics that qualify the property for inclusion of cultural and historical monuments regulated by the government.
Outside project side
Adverse effect: There could be an effect, and that effect could diminish the integrity of such characteristics.
For this project, all cultural sites are small - medium, and not cultural and historical monuments, so the impact level is no adverse effect (see Table 4.4). However, because these are mainly religious site, the suitable mitigations must be concerned and required.

Vehicles are used to transport construction materials into construction site and construction waste, demolishment waste out to disposal with total volume of 139,600 tons (see Table 4.5). This process will generate particulate matter and carbon monoxide (CO), oxides of nitrogen (NO,), sulhr dioxide (SOz), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

A common approach to estimating emissions fiom unloading of construction materials and loading of construction wastes by trucks is to follow the approach in AP.42 (USEPA, 1998), that provides an emission factor equation for a continuous loading operation as follows:

construction material, loading of particulate matter emission fiom truck loading can be calculated by the volume of construction waste and demolishment waste that is 69,600 tons (about 386 tonslday).
Based on this formula and Table 4.5, loading of particulate matter emission is estimated as in Table 4.6. Used data of wind direction in this area, the impacted area can be determined in comparison of the truck loading/unloading point.

43.1.3. Air pollution due to exhausted gases from barges and trucks used in process of disposal of dredged material
There are some intended options for choosing route of sludge transport which option chosen depends on the specific condition, but any option related to transport by barge is qualified because shipping by barge is, in general, more energy efficient, safer, little congestion-causing, little noise or air pollution-producing, and it has relatively small effects on land and community Dr. C. (Jake Haulk. 1998; ht tp: / /m.caria .or@watem facts.htm1).

compounds which are biologically degraded in anaerobic condition and release odorous compounds. Types of odorous compounds created by anaerobic decomposition include inorganic gases, mercaptans and other compounds such as organic acids, phenol, and p- cresol. .. Remark: During dredging process, odorous compounds can be released and cause nuisance odor problems in nearby community. This impact mainly occurs in Transfer Site (Lo Gom construction site), where dredged materials are gathered and prepared to water way transport for treatment.
43.2. Noise and vibration impacts during the construction phase
43.2.1. Noise Impact
In construction phase, noise is mainly generated fiom heavy equipments which can be defined as earth.moving equipment, such as excavating machinery like excavators, backhoes, and fiont loaders, as well as handling equipment like graders, pavers, rollers, and dump trucks. Noise levels at lm fiom heavy equipment range fiom about 72 to 97 dBA. Besides, operation of vehicles and stationary equipment such as pumps, power generators, and air compressors are noise sources. At 15 m fiom truck and dozer, noise level is about 88, 85 dBA respectively. Noise level at 15 m from stationary equipment is about 68 - 88 dBA. The detail calculation for noise impact assessment is presented in Annex 4.2. The final result is showed in Table 4.11.

Remark: During construction time, all related activities operate in areas near the following location should be noticed: Tan Phu School, Dam Sen park, Thien Phuoc pagoda, College of Food Technology, Phu Lam college, Center for Children of District 6, Cung Hy restaurant, Khuong V i t Apartment Building, Tri Duc School. However, this impact does not make a big change in comparison with the status because existing noise level is not in the limited range of noise value required in T C W 5949.1998. Therefore, the impact of noise in construction has the level of Medium mainly.
43.2.2. Vibration Impact
Impact
Construction activity can result in varying degrees of ground vibration, depending on the equipment and methods employed. Operation of construction equipment causes ground vibrations that spread through the ground and diminish in strength with distance. Buildings founded on the soil in the vicinity of the construction site respond to these vibrations, with varying results ranging fiom no perceptible effects at the lowest levels, low rumbling sounds and perceptible vibrations at moderate levels, and slight damage at the highest levels.
Prediction of maximum
Construction vibration should be assessed quantitatively in cases where there is significant potential for impact fiom construction activities. Such activities include blasting, pile-driving, vibratory compaction, demolition, and drilling or excavation in close proximity to sensitive structures.

level
43.3.1. Impacts on snrface water quality caused by dredging activity
Dredging process makes canal bottom damaged, the fact that sediment and topsoil will be removed causes water body in dredging site disordered instantaneously and strongly. Pollutant concentration in water may increase because the pollutants are released fiom sludge. Other reason for increase in pollutant content is over flow created fiom fiee water in dredged material. This impact may be significant to open water body and even water boy if it is used to supply water for domestic, industrial purpose or aquaculture, or its aqua-ecosystems has high diversity. For this project, this impact is negligible because of the following reasons:
Tan Hoa - Lo Gom is semi-enclosed, it has the intersection with Tau Hu canal at lower section, and its width is smaller with distance near upper section. This canal receives is too polluted because it receives municipal wastewater in this basin. Water fiom this canal is not used for any purpose except receiving wastewater and using for transportation of small barges and boats in lower section.

Emironmental Impact Asrlcssment Repo* VietNam Urban Upgrading Pmject - Ho Chi Minh SubProject Sectorial Proiect No.4: Immvem& of Canal a d Roads Alom Tan Hoa - Lo Gom Canal
Thus, dredging activities has mainly impact on quality of Tan Hoa - Lo Gom surface water, but this impact is negligible and not noticeable because of reasons mentioned aboved. These activities in the section of KMO.00 . KM 1 +401.45, however, may impact on water boy of Tau Hu canal in the ebb-tide and in case of no applied mitigation measures (the most disadvantageous case). Therefore, assessing the level of increase in pollutant concentration in the section of KMO.00 . KM1+401.45 of Tan Hoa - Lo Gom canal on water quality of Tau Hu is necessary (Figure 4.1). Dredge Re-suspension and Contaminant Transport Model - Version 1.0 developed by Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering - University of Utah - USA is used to predict the increase and spread of pollutants in the area. Condition applied for this model is the most disadvantageous: Concentration of pollutants chosen 6om the data presented in Chapter 3 is highest; dredging time is on the strong ebb-tide; and no mitigation measures carried out.

Increase in Fluoranthene concentration and its spread: At distance of < 20 m from dredging location, Fluoranthene concentration rises by > 2.10' m a , but at 80 m and more, its increase is insignificant, about < 0.5. 1 0.'. Increase in Pb concentration and its spread: At distance of < 20 m fiom dredging location, Pb concentration rises by > 0.30 m a , but at 80 m and more, its increase is insignificant, about <0.05 m a .

Increase in Ni concentration and its spread: At distance of < 20 m fiom dredging location, Ni concentration rises by > 0.020 m a , but at 90 m and more, its increase is insignificant, about <0.005 m a . Increase in Zn concentration and its spread: At distance of < 20 m fiom dredging location, Ni concentration rises by > 0.020 m a , but at 90 m and more, its increase is insignificant, about >0.005 m a .
Remarks: The concentration of pollutants released by dredging process in lower section of Tan Hoa - Lo Gom is not high, Pollutants spread with distance from dredging location under the @fed of ebb-tide flow, and its has the increased content in the section of <20 m distance from the dredging location. At distance of higher than 80 - 90 m, the increase is negligible. Thus, the water quality of Tau Hu canal may be impacted in the section of G O m distance from the dredging location, but the impact is slight because water in Tau Hu canal is too polluted However, the mitigation measures approved in Chapter 5 should be applied to prevent its pollution status worn
43.3.2. Impacts caused by transport and disposal of dredged materials
During transport of dredged materials, surface water quality of canaVriver included Lo Gom canal, Doi canal, Ong Lon canal, Rach Chieu creek, Tau Hu canal, Can Giuoc River where barge goes over may be slightly contaminated because the following reasons: (1) Possibly leakage of dredged materials fiom barge into the rivers if there are not managed properly, (2) Illegal disposal of dredged materials, (3) Risk of shrinking barge because of accidents.
Possibly leakage of dredged materials from barge into the rivers
Transport dredged materials on riverslcanal often has risk of leakage and overflow into river because powerhl waves (especially waves arisen when other carriage passing by barge in the river) and heavy rain. The level of the incident depends on draft and the volume of sludge carried by barge. If the volume of sludge flow into river is limited under control, we can control the number of sludge flowing out due to waves and so the environmental impact is not significant. On the other hand, the volume of sludge flowing out in case of overloaded barge is a countable, and the impact becomes more serious and it is in high possibility of barges shrinking.
Illegal disposal of dredged materials
For the project, the site for disposal of dredged materials is specifically defined, the routes for transporting of dredged materials are proposed as well. However, illegal disposal may happen because barge-owners may have lack of awareness (they may not intentionally comply with the approved requirements. This may have two cases: + Case 1 : Dredged materials are disposed in wrong site (not in the plan);
Project Management Unit for Ho Chi Minh City Urban Upgrading Project (HUUPMU) 7 1
5 Phung Khac Khoan, Dakao Ward, District 1, HCMC.
Environmental Impact Assessment Report: VietNam Urban Upgrading Project - Ho Chi Minh Sub-Project Sectorial Project No.4: Improvement of Canal and Roads Along Tan Hoa -Lo Gom Canal
+ Case 2: Dredged materials are directly disposed into canalslrivers, especial areas remote fiom residential area such as Can Giuoc river.
The first case hardly happens because disposal of sludge needs pump system or clamshell on barges. Moreover, the fact that a large volume of dredged materials is disposed into an open area will make nearby residents noticed. Therefore, this almost does not happen. The second case is possible. If canalslrivers have high flow and wide cross-section, disposal of dredged materials into water body is hardly detected. In this case, this has the impacts as follows: + Dredged materials will settle and cause the depth of canalslrivers lower,
consequently, bargeslshipsllarge boats may be caught in a shoal, waterway traffic jams may happens.
+ Suspended solid concentration, chrominance and turbidity may increase. Too high may cause some fish species died because their gills are obstructed. High urbidity may make water temperature increased because water absorbs solar radiation more.
+ High concentration of organic compound contained in dredged materials will be discomposed and dissolved oxygen (DO) in water body will drop. Low DO will cause dead to some sensitive species, the biodiversity in the hydrological zone will be decrease. Besides, high concentration of compounds contained N, P, K... will contribute to eutrophication, consequently, the water body may become "dead".
+ Furthermore, a part of heavy metal ions and other toxic compounds such as PCB, PAH. ..., if direct disposal into canalslrivers, will settle sludge, the rest will dissolve into water. This will cause their concentration in sediment increased and make harm to benthic animals. The impact is significant in areas have aquaculture activities, so sludge disposal management must be planned and followed strictly.
Risk of sinking of sludge barges
The transportation of sludge by barges and tug boat can also result to their sinking, especially when these barges ship on some important routes which are very crowded such as Tau Hu, Ong Lon, Can Giuoc River ...( including heavy carriage). Besides the nature wave impacts (tidal dependence, wind, current...), it is important to take in to account the waves caused by big vessel moving on the way, which is when the waves are large increasing the danger of barge shrinking. Moreover, net weight of sludge barges should be paid special attention as it is a subjective reason to cause these incidents for the transportation means. If the risk happens, the property, even human life, will be lost, and environmental impacts like in case of "lllegal disposal of dredged materials" also become true. It is easy to see that the first impact is to make waterway on canalslrivers obstructed if reflex printing method is not applied on time.
43.3.3. Impacts caused by domestic waste from construction camp
a) Domestic wastewater
Domestic wastewater comes from daily domestic activities of construction worker in project site. Its components mainly include the followings:

Edronmentnl Impact Assessment Report: VietNam Urban Upgrading Project - Ho Chi Minh Sub-Project Sectorial Project No.4: Improvement of Canal and Roads Along Tan Hoa -Lo Gom Canal
Construction workers are relatively 50 persons. If they are allowed to take bath in project site and the rate of using water is about 80 Llpersodday, volume of domestic wastewater is about 4m3/day. If no mitigation measure is applied, pollution loading is about 12 kgCOD/day (maximum emission factor is about 80gCODlpersodday).
b) Domestic solid waste
If meal preparation for construction workers is allowable in project site, and maximum emission factor is about 0,20 kglpersodday, total volume of domestic solid waste is about 10 kglday, in there, organic compound (only for food waste) is about 60 - 70%, i.e. 6 - 7 kglday. Other components are can, tin, wrapping for food.. . Without proper control measures, domestic solid waste can cause pollution for surface water, soil and aquatic ecosystem. This impact will be controlled and minimized by applying the mitigation measures in Chapter 5.
43.3.4. Waste oil from machines and transport maintenance process
According to Decision No. 2312006lQD.BTNMT and Circular No. 12/2006/TT.BTNMT, waste oil is classified into hazardous waste (Code: A3020; Basel code: Y8). The generation of waste oil from maintaining process for construction vehicle, machinery and equipment is avoidable. Generated waste oil depends on the following factors:
+ Number of construction vehicle, machinery and equipment;
+ The waste oil volume use for specific type of vehicle, machinery and equipment;
+ The frequency of changing oil. The practical investigation results in HCM city shows (Source: The research for regenerating waste oil to liquidj%el. Military Science - Technology - Engineering Center, 2002):
+ The waste oil volume generated by equipment and machineries is 7 liters per oil changing time.
+ The oil changing frequency: one time every 3 months. This data is used to calculate volume of waste oil from construction site is about 12 - 23 Llday. This impact will be controlled and minimized by applying the mitigation measures in Chapter 5.
43.4. Impacts caused by dredged and excavated materials
a) Volume of dredged excavated materials The volume of dredged material had been calculated in the Final Design by the LBG consultant and the results are presented in Annex 4.5 and the total is 4 15,134 m3. The dredged material includes:
(i) Contaminated sludge and solid waste at the surface of the canal bottom; (ii) Soil at the lower layer of canal bottom and canal bank.
The volume of contaminated sludge calculated in FS was 57.000m3. In this stage, based on the Final Design, it was calculated as presented in Annex 4.5. The result of contaminated sludge calculation is presented in Table 4.12.

In addition, a problem possibly happening in construction site is that local people with lacking awareness in environmental protection can throw solid wastes into open area near construction site.
Health and occupational safety Occupational accidents may happen in construction site because of the following reasons:
+ Objective reasons: hot weather or hard rainfall.
+ Subjective reasons: Construction workers are careless during working or do not follow occupational safety regulation.
Considering the importance of these impacts, we will build up a suitable and specific program of occupational safety prevention and treatment, and regularly monitor the worker's abidance.
43.8. Some hazards and risks related to construction activities
Some hazards and risks related to construction activities are (1) crack of nearby buildings caused by vibration, and (2) landslide and landslip along river bank.
Crack of nearby buildings caused by vibration: This risk only happens when such activities include blasting, pile-driving, vibratory compaction, demolition, and drilling or excavation in close proximity to sensitive structures. As mentioned in section 4.3.2.2. Vibration Impact, the followings which should considered carehlly in construction phase are College of Food Technology, Pham Van Chi Primary School, Hanh Nguyen pagoda, Phu Lam college, Center for children of District 6, Khuong Viet Apartment Building, Tan Phu School, Phuong Nam School, Tri Duc School. Landslide and landslip along river bank: These incidents may occurs if construction activities are carried out in wrong ways and not under control. However, this impact is negligible because it has no significant consequences.

4.4. IMPACT ASSESSMENT IN OPERATION PHASE
4.4.1. Impacts on air quality and noise
After finished, traffic system in this area will be significantly improved, so the traffic density will be higher as well. This will cause concentration of air pollutants, and noise level higher. Furthermore, this project will minimize odor caused by wastewater fiom canal.
4.4.2. Impacts on TH-LG canal surface-water quality
4.4.2.1. Pollution caused by discharging wastewater
In the operation phase and for further future, the water quality of Tan Hoa - Lo Gom will be improved, however the water body can be re-polluted by the wastewater discharging fiom Tan Hoa - Lo Gom Basin, especially in dry weather. The wastewater collected comprises both domestic and industrial wastewater. The domestic wastewater is mainly effluent fiom septic tanks. Industrial wastewater is fiom industrial processes, which in THLG basin is mainly bleaching and dyeing, tanning, and food processing. About 90% of wastewater fiom existing industries is currently discharged without treatment. There are currently no other wastewater treatment facilities in the THLG Canal basin. The calculation of estimated wastewater flow and load is presented in Annex 4.7. The final estimated flow, load and pollutants concentration are shown in Table 4.15 and Table 4.16.

Total wastewater loads and flows in alternative having CSO and WWTP The interceptor sewers of CSO are designed to carry the peak dry-weather flows which will then be discharged to a wastewater treatment plant. The interceptor sewers will not have sufficient capacity to convey wet weather flows, and it is therefore necessary to divert the excess diluted wastewater (resulting fiom storm water runoff) into the canal. Due to the operation of CSO system, the loads and flow in dry weather can be reduced in 90% and around 60% in wet weather. The loads and flows of wastewater in THLG Basin when having a CSO can be calculated in Table 4.17 and 4.1 8.

Table 4.17 - Wastewater flows in case having CSO
Effect of CSO and WWTP on surface water quality of Lo Gom According to the Table 4.18 and 4.19, it shows that the wastewater loads and flows discharging to water body of THLG canal is reduced significantly when the CSO and WWTP built. In case CSO installed but WWTP will be built in near future, the water quality of Tan Hoa - Lo Gorn canal will be slightly improved in the upstream, however at downstream, water quality at CSO discharging area may be increased concentration of SS and BOD. So, it clears that: the water quality of Tan Hoa - Lo Gorn and Tau Hu Canal will just be significantly improved in case CSO and WWTP are invested together.

Tau Hu canal, in the lower area of Tan Hoa - Lo Gorn canal, receives municipal wastewater fi-om Tan Hoa - Lo Gorn basin. Tau Hu canal, at present, is in Water Environment Improvement Project invested by ODA funding of Japan. This project has finished wastewater treatment plan 1,500 m3/day (in period of trial operation) to treat municipal wastewater fi-om area of District 1, 3, 5 and 10 in Tau Hu canal basin, and the next work is to build drainage system and CSO system for area of District 4,6, 8 and 11 (year 2010). In phase 2, the project will improve the capacity of wastewater treatment plant up to 500,000 m3/day (year 2012). With the current working progress, Tau Hu - Ben Nghe Project is going to be finished in near time, and then the quality of Tau Hu - Ben Nghe canal will be improved significantly. However, wastewater fi-om Tan Hoa - Lo Gorn basin is not collected and treated by this project. Thus, SP.04 Improvement of Canal and Roads Along Tan Hoa - Lo Gorn Canal Project and the component projects will improve the drainage system in Tan Hoa - Lo Gom canal, and so the water body of Tau Hu Canal will be impacted by wastewater discharged from this system. To merely estimate the increase in pollutants in Tau Hu canal caused by

wastewater from Tan Hoa - Lo Gorn in case with or without wastewater treatment plant, we use the dilution model applying for BOD and SS as follows:
C = (Cl .Ql + C2.Q2)/(Q1 + Q2) Where:
+ C1: Concentration of BOD and SS in water body of Tau Hu canal, chosen values are 49 mg/L and 99 mg/L respectively (these values are the averages referred fiom the result of monitoring water quality of Tau Hu canal fiom the East west Highway Project in 2008)
+ Q1: Flow of Tau Hu canal in dry season in low tide, 30m3/s
+ C2: Concentration of BOD and SS in water body of Tan Hoa - Lo Gorn canal, referred below.
+ Q2: Discharging flow fiom Tan Hoa - Lo Gorn basin, referred below. Based on current conditions and plan to invest WWTP for Tan Hoa - Lo Gorn basin, we provide 2 following scenarios which considered in 2 periods (2008 - 2009,2020:
+ Scenarios 1: 100% un-treated municipal wastewater in the basin is discharged into Tau Hu canal.
+ Scenarios 2: 10% un-treated municipal wastewater in the basin is discharged into Tau Hu canal (the rest will be treated by Tan Hoa - Lo Gorn WWTP, and then be discharged into the other canal).
There is currently no immediately plan for the construction of a WWTP for the Tan Hoa - Lo Gorn project, due to a lack of funding, although the master plan does call for its construction at some point in the future. The above indicates the impact on the receiving body considering with and without the Tan Hoa - Lo Gorn WWTP.

In conclusion, building and operating a complete WWTP in the future will be necessary to improve the quality of surface water in Tan Hoa - Lo Gom canal, Tan Hu canal, and other canals in HCM city as well.
4.4.4. Drainage and Flood Control - Operation Phase
The operation of the upgraded drainage system will generate positive impacts through reduced flooding to a large proportion of streets, households, and businesses in the poorer areas of the THLG basin. A population of 157,000 people representing 32,000 households will no longer be impacted annually by flood waters. Secondary benefits associated with reduced public health risk arising from these conditions are also expected to be observed
4.4.5. Impacts on cultural and social environment
4.4.5.1. Increase in traffic density
Traffic flow in areas of Distic 6, District 8, District 11, Tan Phu District will increase slightly and be divided because some citizeddrivers will choose route through project. The following routes will be impacted:
District 6: Hung Vuong + Hong Bang, and Hau Giang + Thap Muoi (Cho Lon);
District 8: Nguyen Duy, and Nhi Thien Duong Brighe
District 1 1 : Au Co - Lac Long Quan, Nguyen Thi Nho - Le Dai Hanh - Au Co - Binh Thoi, Lac Long Quan - Han Hai Nguyen, and 312 street . Han Hai Nguyen.
Tan Phu and Tan Binh District: Au Co street, Au Co - Luy Ban Bich, Au Co - Le Minh Xuan, Au Co - Pham Phu Thu, Au Co - Thoai Ngoc Hau, Au Co - Dong Ho, Au co - Truong Chinh, Luy Ban Bich - Hoa Binh, Luy Ban Bich - Thach Lam, and Luy Ban Bich - Thoai Ngoc Hau.
Consequently, traffic flow and density has minor increase, but its impact is negligible.
4.4.5.2. Increase in traffic accident
Traffic accident possibly happens because the following reason:
The increase of traffic flow and density;
Increase of vehicle's velocity;
Carelessness of driversllocal people.
Besides, referred from similar project in different scales, this project may have problem that roads may be encroached by some peddlers. Consequently, traffic activities can be disturbed; accidents have more probability to happen.
This impact will be mitigated by several measures proposed in Chapter Five.
4.4.53. Impacts on urban landscape
Finish and operation this project will improve landscape in this area which is currently disordered and unaesthetic, so this is positive impact.
4.4.6. Impacts on economic environment
Increase in land value in the area
After finish of the project, land value in this area will increase. More construction buildings will be appeared along the canal and nearby area.

Increase in economic activities in this area
Along with the improvement of sanitary condition for this area, economic activities will be more and more. This is a certain consequence.
However, the fact that roadway orland pavement may be encroached to do business should be considered in order to have suitable prevention mitigation measures.
Evaluation of economic efficiency in case with or without project
4.5. INTEGRATED IMPACT ASSESSMENT 4.5.1. Impact assessment integrated with other projects
a) Bad impacts
These impacts include the followings:
Households in area of THLH project and East-West Highway project will have adverse impacts caused by construction activities. Living quality in this area will be significantly influenced.
Under construction, water quality in Tau Hu canal can be heavy polluted.
The transportation of contaminated sludge on one route waterway route of THLG Project and Water Environment Improvement Project will increase the possibility of barges accident.
b) Positive Impacts In operation, water quality in Tau Hu canal can be significantly improved both by THLG Project and Water Environment Improvement Project.

When EWHW Project, Water Environment Improvement Project and THLG Project put into operation that will make the landscape and environmental quality at this area has a positive changes.
Operation of these projects will reduce flooding point in upstream of THLG Canal.
4.5.2. Impact assessment integrated with other component of the project
a) Bad impacts on people's living who reside both in SP.01 and SP.04 project areas
Besides benefits fiom the projects, a part of people may suffer bad impacts, especially with people who live both in SP.01 and SP.04 project areas. These impacts include the followings:
Households in project area are always in anxious fiom the day beginning the project,
Others not in project area of Project SP.01 also have anxiety because of hearing that Project Sp. 04 will continue to clear site.
Households in area of Project SP.01 whose houses are impacted may be influenced by Project SP.04.
Households in area of 2 component projects will have adverse impacts caused by construction activities. Living quality in this area will be significantly influenced.
b) Impacts caused by SP.01 wastewater flow and loads When the SP.01 and the SP.04 are put into operation, the density of population in the SP.01 site will increase and the new installed infrastructure 2&3 will discharge wastewater from SP.Ol's households into Tan Hoa - Lo Gom canal. That will reduce local pollution in the SP.01 area but the volume and load of wastewater can re-pollute the water quality of Tan Hoa - Lo Gom Canal. The flow and loads discharged fiom SP.01 area can be estimated by the number of beneficiaries (9,449 households, equivalent to 47,245 persons). The flow of waste water is 9,449m3/day, the pollutant loads and concentrations of wastewater are predicted as shown in Table 4.21. According to this result, the pollutants concentration in discharged wastewater fiom SPOl is nearly equal to the baseline. It seems that the pollutants concentration in water body of Tan Hoa - Lo Gom is not increased, but the loading. Therefore, collecting and treating such wastewater is really necessary.

4.6. ENVIRONMENT IMPACT ASSESSMENT USING RIAM MODEL
RIAM (Rapid Impact Assessment Matrix) is used to carry out integrated impact assessment for the project. It is a powerful Impact Assessment system that organises and analyses the components selected by the scooping of any holistic environmental impact assessment. The RIAM method provides a completely transparent record of the judgments made in the process, coupled with a fast analysis system and results that can be simply presented. It can be used for a wide range of Impact Assessments at different levels of decision making and planning. RIAM has successfully been used for Initial Environmental Evaluation (IEE) and Environmental Impact Assessment (ETA), as well for Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) and Regional Environmental & Social Assessment (RESA). RIAM may be adapted for use in Sustainability Appraisal (SA), evaluation of performance and for programme/project prioritisation. The detail RIAM for SP.04 is presented in Annex 4.7. The results are shown in Figure 4 3 and Figure 4.4

CHAPTER FIVE MITIGATION MEAS-S FOR NEGATIVE IMPACTS
This chapter will propose feasible and cost-effective measures to mitigate the negative impacts in design and pre.-construction phase, construction phase and operation phase, which are analyzed and assess in Chapter 4.
5.1. MITIGATION MEASURES IN DESIGN AND PRE-CONSTRUCTION PHASE 5.1 .l. 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 minimizing 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.
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
Respect traditional customs, practices, and 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.
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.
5.1.2. Designing with community participation
Since the object of the projects are to alleviate poverty in urban areas, to improve the living and environment conditions of the low-income communities, and to help reorganize the city, to build and develop housing hnd that the urban poor are willing and able to pay for, etc., its design is based on community participation, for which the designing consultant and the investor have organized many sessions of community counsel for determination of the zones to be upgrade as well as upgrading alternatives.
Integration of community participation in design and pre-construction phase will reduces the . impacts on local people's living quality.

5.1.3, Limitation in encroachment on land-use and cultural sites
In phase of project design, many households and some cultural sites will encroached partly or entirely. The impacts has been identified, analyzed and assessed as in Chapter 4. The encroached households and cultural sites will be compensated and have resettlement suitably according to current available law and regulation. In some cases, e.g. with religious sites, the PMU will discuss with the managers of the sites and local people to find suitable options for relocation.
As described in the previous chapters, Thao Duong Thien Tu pagoda is the biggest religious building, so it should receive the most concern when implementation of the project. At 2:00 PM on 24/3/2009, at Thao Duong Thien Tu pagoda, Ward 12, District 6 a meeting had happened between managers of Thao Duong Thien Tu pagoda and PMU and Local Authority. The managers of pagoda agree with implementation of the project and accept to cede land to the project. The pagoda managers give 4 proposals:
Proposal 1: Adjust the design and minimize impacted land for the pagoda, only repossess land of pagoda land, not sanctum. Proposal 2: Repossess a part of pagoda land, and compensate the land of householders behind the pagoda Proposal 3: Move the pagoda wholly and provide other land to re-establish. Proposal 4: Rebuild the pagoda with 08 floors on the rest of land after repossessed (about 300 m2).
The most suitable proposal will be clear in the RAP report.
5.1.4. Compensation and resettlement program
After scales and design embodiments are determined with people's consent, the RAP complied with Vietnamese legislation and WB guidelines is prepared for the householders removed partially or fully land and/or houses. It will present detailed compensation and resettlement program. This section merely summarized main contents and other ideas in the viewpoint of environmental experts as follows:

+ Vinh Loc B Resettlement area: It is is located in Vinh Loc B commune, Binh Chanh ward (formerly), comprises Houses (2.024 apartments, 53 1 ground) and Public utilities (01 primary school, 04 kindergartens, 01 administrative base, 01 general surgery, Market and bus station, and Green tree park - sports - water area).
+ Resettlement Site in No. 243 Tan Hoa Dong, ward No. 14, District No. 6: Its area is 10,976.9 m2 includes three buildings with 656 apartments, 18 - 21 floors, and enough infrastructures such as traffic system, power supply system, water supply system, drainage system, etc.
+ Resettlement area in ward No.11, District No. 6: This resettlement site is in progress of construction. Has two blocks including 15 floors with amount of 336 flat and 224 flat in turn.
5.1.5. Control of pollution due to site preparation
Partially or wholly removal of houses will affect the local air environment and noise but the impact is medium and controllable by means of measures as follows:
Monitoring and reminding people to cover up removal and construction sites. The subcontractor being required by the investor to cooperate and provide supports such as means for transporting spoil out of people's removal sites. Watering roads in the period when people remove parts of their houses.
5.2. MITIGATION MEASURES PROPOSED IN CONSTRUCTION PHASE
5.2.1. Air pollution control measures
An inevitable impact of infrastructure upgrading projects is air pollution in the construction phase. The following mitigation measures for the sake of controlling~minirnizing the impact of dust and air pollutants in the construction phase are applied as follows:
Open construction sites as well as heaps of materials pending for use or transport should be watered regularly. Heaps of construction materials like cement should be covered up to limit dust. Movable iron sheet walls (for roll.up construction) of at least 2 m height should be use to avoid of dust emission and to prevent accidents due to children. The zones used to gather construction materiaIs and machines should be managed strictly. Drips and drops of materials should be avoided. Temporary warehouses (if required) should be built and covered up and isolated with fences. Any vehicle transporting materials and spoil to and from construction sites should be covered up. Overloaded vehicles should be prohibited. All the vehicles that serve the project should bear the logo of the project and abide by all traffic rules with no operation in rush hours. The speed of vehicles in the site, nearby alleys should be limited at 5km per hour and the limit speed in urban areas should be 30km per hour. All vehicles should be washed (if possible) before leaving construction sites.

Environmental Impact Assessment Report: VietNam Urban Upgrading Project - Ho Chi Minh Sub-project Sectorial Project No.4: Improvement of Canal and Roads Along Tan Hoa - Lo Gom Canal
All vehicles and machines should receive proper maintenance. Vehicles, trucks, construction equipment used in this project should be checked in their noise, vibration, and air emission levels to meet the Vietnamese Standards (TCVN.1995). This is a condition in the tender given by PMU. All machines and vehicles used in construction sites should strictly abide by safety regulations set forth by Ho Chi Minh City Service of Transport and Public Works.
8 Use of machines that use low standard fuel should be restricted so as to mitigate the impacts that may pollute the environment. Construction machines with low emissions should be employed to reduce emission. Sources of emission should be arranged far fiom people's houses. All construction machines and vehicles should meet the standard on emissions (TCVN 6438:2001) and all industrial machines should meet the same standards applicable to equipment (TCVN 5939:2005, TCVN 5940:2005). Burning waste materials in-site is not permitted.
Concrete mixing plants and asphalt plants should be located over lOOm fiom boundary concentrated residential sites. If air emission (dust, S04, N02, VOC) fiom the asphalt plants will exceed the Vietnamese Standard for Air Emission (TCVN.5939.2005), it will be necessary to install the effective emission control equipment.
Exhaust from construction equipment (vehicles, trucks, bulldozers etc.) and air emission fiom asphalt plants should be monitored based on the Vietnamese Environmental Standards for Transport, to control air pollution caused by particulate matters, S02, NOx, CO, hydrocarbon and lead During the dry days, periodically watering construction sites is necessary for dust control. These measures should be used at the construction sites in urban areas or areas nearby schools, hospitals, and religious and historical sites.
All the measures for mitigating air and dust pollution as recommended above will be obliged in the detailed technical documents of the project and also the obligatory technical standards that subcontractors should comply with.
5.22. Control Noise and vibration
5.2.2.1. Noise
Many activities of the project will produce noise, for instance, operation of vehicles and construction machines (hammer machines, drilling, cutting and digging machines, etc.; and generators, etc) as assed in Chapter 4. In order to mitigate impacts of noise, the project should strictly consider and apply three categories of noise control approaches given below:
Design considerations and project layout: + Construct noise barriers, such as temporary walls or piles of excavated material,
between noisy activities and noise-sensitive receivers.
+ Re-route truck traffic away from residential streets, if possible. Select streets with fewest homes if no alternatives are available.
+ Site equipment on the construction lot as far away fiom noise-sensitive sites as possible. The followings are the receptors should be concerned: Thien Phuoc pagoda, College of Food Technology, Pham Van Chi Primary School, Hanh Nguyen pagoda,

Phu Lam college, Center for Children of District 6, Cung Hy restaurant, Khuong Viet Apartment Building, Tan Phu School, Phuong Nam School, Tri Duc School, Dam Sen park.
+ Construct walled enclosures around especially noisy activities or clusters of noisy equipment. For example, shields can be used around pavement breakers and loaded vinyl curtains can be draped under elevated structures.
Sequence of operations: + Combine noisy operations to occur in the same time period. The total noise level
produced will not be significantly greater than the level produced if the operations were performed separately.
+ Avoid nighttime activities. Sensitivity to noise increases during the nighttime hours in residential neighborhoods. Noisy machines should be operated in daytime. Any nighttime activities should be done using noise-reducing means or low-noise technologies.
Alternative construction methods:
+ Avoid use of an impact pile driver where possible in noise-sensitive areas. Drilled piles or the use of a sonic or vibratory pile driver are quieter alternatives where the geological conditions permit their use.
+ Use specially-quieted equipment, such as quieted and enclosed air compressors and properly-working mufflers on all engines.
+ Select quieter demolition methods, where possible. For example, sawing bridge decks into sections that can be loaded onto trucks results in lower cumulative noise levels than impact demolition by pavement breakers.
In addition, it is a relatively large project, the information available during the preliminary engineering phase may not allow final decisions to be made on all specific mitigation measures, so it is appropriate to describe and commit to a mitigation plan that will be developed during final design. The objective of the plan should be to minimize construction noise using all reasonable (i.e., cost vs. benefit) and feasible (i.e., physically achievable) means available. Components of the plan may include some or all of the following provisions which would be specified in construction contracts:
Equipment noise emission limits: These are absolute noise limits applied to generic classes of equipment at a reference distance (typically 50 feet). The limits should be set no higher than what is reasonably achievable for well.-maintained equipment with effective mufflers. Lower limits that require source noise control may be appropriate for certain equipment when needed to minimize community noise impact, if reasonable and feasible. Provisions could also be included to require equipment noise certification testing prior to use on site.

Source: Adapted from Central Artery/Tumel Noise Specification
Lot-line construction noise limits: These are noise limits that apply at the lot line of specific noise-sensitive properties. The limits are typically specified in terms of both noise exposure (usually Leq over a 20.30 minute period) and maximum noise level. They should be based on local noise ordinances, if applicable, as well as pre-construction baseline noise levels; limits that are 3.5 decibels above the baseline are often used.

Noise abatement requirements: In some cases specifications may be provided for particular noise control treatments, based on the results of the design analysis and/or prior commitments made to the public by civic authorities. An example would be the requirement for a temporary noise barrier to shield a particular community area from noisy construction activities. Noise monitoring plan requirements: Plans can be developed for pre-project noise monitoring to establish baseline noise levels at sensitive locations, as well as for periodic equipment and lot-line noise monitoring during the construction period. The plan should outline the measurement and reporting methods that will be used to demonstrate compliance with the project noise limits. Noise control plan requirements: For major construction projects, specifications have required the preparation and submission of noise control plans on a periodic basis (e.g., every six months). These plans should predict the construction noise at noise-sensitive receptor locations based on the proposed construction equipment and methods. If the analysis predicts that the specified noise limits will be exceeded, the plan should specify the mitigation measures that will be applied and should demonstrate the expected noise reductions these measures will achieve. The objective of this proactive approach is to minimize the likelihood of community noise complaints by ensuring that any necessary mitigation measures are included in the construction plans. Compliance enforcement program: If construction noise is a significant issue in the community, it is important that a program be put in place to monitor contractor compliance

with the noise control specifications and mitigation plan. It is best that this function be performed by a construction management team on behalf of the public agency. Public information and complaint response procedures: To maintain positive community relations, the public should be kept informed about the construction plans and efforts to minimize noise, and procedures should be established for prompt response and corrective action with regard to noise complaints during construction.
5.2.2.2. Vibration
Similar to the approach for construction noise, mitigation of construction vibration requires consideration of equipment location and processes, as follows:
Design considerations and project layout: + Route heavily-loaded trucks away fiom residential streets, if possible. Select streets
with fewest homes if no alternatives are available.
+ Operate earth-moving equipment on the construction lot as far away fiom vibration- sensitive sites as possible. The followings are the receptors should be concerned: Thien Truoc pagoda, College of Food Technology, Pham Van Chi Primary School, Hanh Nguyen pagoda, Phu Lam college, Center for Children of District 6, Cung Hy restaurant, Khuong Viet Apartment Building, Tan Phu School, Phuong Nam School, Tri Duc School, Dam Sen park.
Sequence of operations: + Phase demolition, earth-moving and ground-impacting operations so as not to occur in
the same time period. Unlike noise, the total vibration level produced could be significantly less when each vibration source operates separately.
+ Avoid nighttime activities. People are more aware of vibration in their homes during the nighttime hours.
Alternative construction methods: + Avoid impact pile-driving where possible in vibration-sensitive areas. Drilled piles or
the use of a sonic or vibratory pile driver causes lower vibration levels where the geological conditions permit their use (however, see cautionary note below).
+ Select demolition methods not involving impact, where possible. For example, sawing bridge decks into sections that can be loaded onto trucks results in lower vibration levels than impact demolition by pavement breakers, and milling generates lower vibration levels than excavation using clam shell or chisel drops.
+ Avoid vibratory rollers and packers near sensitive areas.
Similarly, it is appropriate to describe and commit to a mitigation plan that will be developed and implemented during the final design and construction phases of the project. The objective of the plan should be to minimize construction vibration damage using all reasonable and feasible means available. The plan should provide a procedure for establishing threshold and limiting vibration values for potentially affected structures based on an assessment of each structure's ability to withstand the loads and displacements due to construction vibrations. The plan should also include the development of a vibration monitoring plan during final design and the implementation of a compliance monitoring program during construction.

Above mitigation measures must be strictly concerned and applied in order to archive the final goal that vibration must meet Vietnamese Standard for vibration TCVN 6962:2001.
5.23. Mitigation measures for the impacts on surface water quality
5.23.1. Impacts caused by domestic waste from construction workers
To eliminate the negative impacts of domestic wastes, following measures will be implemented:
Do not allow construction workers to stay overnight in construction sites; Discharge and disposal of domestic wastes fiom construction camps into water sources must be avoided. During construction phase, install temporary toilets (mobile toilet) at the site, contract with local garbage collecting entities should be signed on periodically collection. This measure will be strictly applied at the construction sites in urban areas. For food hygiene control, cooking in the project site is not permitted. Not bury, burn domestic solid waste in the project site. Domestic solid wastes will be collected, transported into the city waste collecting sites. Solid waste collection and treatment can be implemented by the Urban Environmental Company through agreement with the Constructors.
5.2.3.2. Control waste oil from maintenance process
This is to prevent oil waste spills which possibly cause pollution and health problem for water body and community contacting directly or indirectly with spilt oil. The measures to be taken include:
Vehicles, pumps and equipment with significant oil leakage must be moved out of construction sites by means of specializing means and the spillage positions should be treated immediately. Vehicles, pumps and equipment must not be repaired in construction sites. In opposite, they should be transported to repair zones. In some special cases such as minor repair, temporary maintaining shop will be built in suitable location in project site, and have the collecting system of oil and lubricant waste. Oil and lubricant waste is not allowed to bury orland burn oil and lubricant waste in project site, but must be stored in proper oil-can, and collected and treated thanks to contract with local companies according to present regulation.
5.2.4. Mitigation measures for dredging activity
5.2.4.1. Management and regulation of dredging activities and dredged material
In design and pre-construction phase:
+ The PMU and chosen contractor must have enough information about the dredging activities and dredging including dredging area, volume and characteristic of sludgelmaterial, hydraulic characteristics of canals, equipments and labor demand, time schedule.. .
+ Identify characteristic of dredged material in each section on the canal by sampling and testing collected sample along the section of canal and in each layer of cross.section slide of canal, estimated exact volume of dredged materials.

Environmental Impact Assessment Report: VietNam Urban Upgrading Project - Ho Chi Minh Sub-project Sectorial Project No.4: Improvement of Canal and Roads Along Tan Hoa -Lo Gom Canal
+ Chose suitable facilities and equipments. Selection of dredging equipment and method used to perform the dredging will depend on the following factors:
o Physical characteristics of material to be dredged.
o Quantities of material to be dredged.
o Dredging depth.
o Distance to disposal area.
o Physical environment of the dredging and disposal areas.
o Contamination level of sediments.
o Method of disposal.
o Production required.
o Type of dredges available.
0 Cost.
+ Make a plan for dredging based on analysis and selection of alternative options.
+ During environmental dredging, additional time must be allowed for other factors, such as:
o Greater precision of cut
o Slower production rates to minimize re-suspension
o Multiple passes needed to achieve cleanup goals
o Use of contaminant barriers
o Restrictions posed by other remedial components.
+ Design and chose suitable route for transport of dredged material.
+ Create an environmental management plan for dredging activities and disposal of dredged material.
+ Make a monitoring program for environmental during dredging, It should be designed to meet project-specific objectives. Monitoring can be used to evaluate the performance of the dredging contractor, equipment, and the barriers and environmental controls in use. Monitoring may also be integrated into the health and safety plan for the dredging operation to ensure that exposure threshold levels are not exceeded.
+ The monitoring program must be designed to provide information quickly so that appropriate changes to dredging operations or equipment can be made to correct any problems. Simple, direct, and preferably instantaneous measurements are most useful. Measurements of turbidity, conductivity, and dissolved oxygen can be used as real- time indicators of excessive sediment re-suspension. Project-specific guidelines for interpreting monitoring results should be developed in advance, as well as potential operational or equipment modifications.

Environmental Impact Assessment Report: VietNam Urban Upgrading Project - Ho Chi Minh Sub-project Sectorial Project No.4: Improvement of Canal and Roads Along Tan Hoa -Lo Gom Canal
In construction phase:
+ Dredging contract must include the Management and regulation of dredging activities and dredged material, in which environmental management plan is an obligatory component in the contract.
+ Choose the dredging contractor meeting the requirements.
+ The dredging contractor must commit to follow strictly the Management and regulation of dredging activities.
+ Monitoring during the dredging process, especially odorous compound released fiom the dredged activity and report regularly.
5.2.4.2. Mitigation measures for dredging
As assessed in Chapter 4, the impact of dredging on Tan Hoa - Lo Gom appeared to be not significant, but it should be concerned in the lower section where have the intersection with Tau Hu canal. Here are some mitigation measures to minimize these impacts:
Domestic solid wastes floating on the canal must be fished out and managed as requirement of Vietnamese solid waste management regulation.
Choosing time for dredging: For the project, the canal has the semi-enclosed water bodies, dredging only on the incoming tide may provide additional time for suspended sediments to settle, thus minimizing the dispersal of contaminated sediments out of the water body. These activities should be implemented in rainy season in HCM city, from the December to April next year.
Prevent overflow and spread of pollutants:
+ Free water in dredged material on barges should be drawn before barges move. For such extremely polluted canal like Tan Hoa - Lo Gom, Barge overflow may be acceptable, especially in case of using temporary dams to separate water body. In contrast, in the lower section of the canal where having water interaction with other canal, the shunting method can be applied if necessary. This method is the active pumping fiee water in a barge to bottom of the water column at the dredging site. It may act to reduce turbidity in the upper water column.
+ Other alternative option should be considered is that temporary dams are used to separate water in dredged area to others. This option is rather feasible because the canal is relatively narrow.
+ In area having the intersection with Tau Hu canal, silt screenlcurtains should be used to prevent spread of pollutants into water body outside (see Figure 5.1). Silt screenslsilt curtains are available to minimize sediment transfer throughout the body of water, and they are most effective in relatively shallow, quiescent water. These flexible barriers hang down from the water surface. Floats on the surface provide buoyancy. Ballast chain or anchors along the bottom provide stability. To be effective, barriers are deployed around the dredging operation and must remain in place until the operation is completed at that site (Sources: Assessment and Remediation of Contaminated Sediments Program..

Health and safety plan for the dredging operation:
+ The removal of contaminated materials fiom a waterway can be a hazardous activity, especially if contaminant concentrations are high. Depending on the types of contaminants present, the concentrations expected, and the degree of contact workers may have with the sediment, it may be necessary to provide workers with special PPE, such as respirators and Tyvek coveralls. Such gear can decrease the productivity of workers and thereby greatly increase operating costs. This is particularly true if workers are required to wear respirators or use supplied air. However, in most cases sediment contaminants are not volatile, and therefore respiratory protection is rarely needed.
+ Health and safety plan for the dredging operation will be integrated in HEST (Safty, Health, Environment and Transportation) program mentioned in below section.

52.43. Mitigation measures for transportation
As mentioned in chapter 4, the impacts related to transport of dredged materials fiom temporary storage site of the project to Da Phuoc treatment area are the followings:
Leakage and overflow because of high wave andlor rainfall;
Project Management Unit for Ho Chi Minh City Urban Upgrading Project (HUUPMU) 99 5 Phung Khac Khoan, Dakao Ward, District 1, HCMC.
Environmental Impact Assessment Report: VietNam Urban Upgrading Project - Ho Chi Minh Sub-project Sectorial Project No.4: Improvement of Canal and Roads Along Tan Hoa - I,o Gom Canal
Illegal disposal of dredged materials; Risk of sinking barges.
The main mitigation measures to settle down the impacts of transportation of dredged materials are as follows:
Dredging methods: Apply the approved dredging methods. Firstly, dredged material will be temporarily stored in dredged area for drainage of free. Water contained in them. After that, they will be hold in closed containers in barge and transported to disposal area as mentioned in the later section. Dredging time should be short as much as possible.
Propose transport route: Dredging plan should be prepared, in which time, location, equipment, etc. should be clarified and evaluated. The following options of transportation route will be chosen in order of priority:
+ Option 1: 415,000 m3 (including 85,000 m3 contaminated sludge and 330,000 m3 excavated soil) will be transported to Da Phuoc Complex Solid Waste Treatment Plant by barges with the transport route Lo Gom canal 3 Tau Hu canal 3 Can Giuoc River 3 Rach chieu creek 3 Da Phuoc site (the distance is about 20.0 km).
+ Option 2: o 85,000 m3 contaminated sludge will be transported to Da Phuoc Complex Solid
Waste Treatment Plant by barges with the transport route Lo Gom canal 3 Tau Hu canal 3 Can Giuoc River + Rach chieu creek + Da Phuoc site (the distance is about 20.0 krn).
o 330,000 m3 excavated soil will be transported by vehicles or by barges. Vehicle will transport soil from excavating for box culvert and sewerage building. Barges will transport the rest. This process will be strictly followed Decree 7312007lQD- LBND issued by HCM city People's committee on 10/5/2007 about regulation on service of collection, transportation, and treatment of septic mud, sludge dredged from sewerage system and canal in HCM city.
+ Back-up (Option 3: Temporary applied when Option 1 and Option 2 are not applicable):
o Contaminated sludge will be transported by vehicles to treat in Tam Tan Sanitary Landfill in Cu chi district which is used to treatment municipal solid waste from HCM city.
o Excavated soil will be used for leveling in many projects in HCM city because the demand of leveling material is now really high. Companies who use the soil for this purpose must commit to comply with Decree 7312007lQD-UBND issued by HCM city People's committee on 10/5/2007 about regulation on service of collection, transportation, and treatment of septic mud, sludge dredged from sewerage system and canal in HCM city.
Prevent leakage and overflow of transported sludge: + Not transport the volume of sludge over limited barge capacity.
+ Use barriers to prevent overflow caused by rainfall.
+ Not transport in heavy weather time or in the time when large ships/vessels move.

Environmental Impact Assessment Report: VietNam Urban Upgrading Project - Ho Chi Minh Sub-project Sectorial Project No.4: Improvement of Canal and Roads Along Tan Hoa - Lo Gom Canal
Prevent illegal disposal of dredged material: + Educate and improve the awareness of environmental protection and regulate specific
responsibility to barge-owners and others related.
+ Monitor the activities of transport and disposal thanks to regular consideration of journal table of transport (transported sludge volume, time.. .) and of disposal (number of barges enters required disposal area, volume, time...). If there is any difference between transport times of origin site and destination site, activities of investigation will be implemented in the way of integrating with functional agencies. Hard punishments will be applied to any person who illegally disposes transported sludge orland makes sludge overflowed.
+ Investor will cooperate with functional agencies to monitor surface water in the river on transport route in order to identify pollution cause by illegal disposal and sludge overflow.
Prevent risk of sinking barges and accidents in waterway: + To make the suitable plan for transportation;
+ Cooperated with functional agencies to check and monitor waterway routes which have big ships/vessels in the same time of sludge transportation.
+ Follow strictly regulation of waterway safety during transportation time.
+ Barge - owners/operators and others related will be trained in health and labor safety and waterway code. Occupational safety equipments to protect labors will be delivered to related people.
+ Regular keep a close watch on hydrological regime in order to identify strong winds, storm or 1ong.term floods.
Prevent pollution caused by unloading sludge from barge to disposal site: Possibility that sludge and contaminants are swept out from Da Phuoc disposal site to Nha Be river is low, but water quality in Chieu canal may be partially contaminated. To prevent and minimize this impact, during period of sludge transport, contractors must follow the following regulations:
+ Only unloading of sludge into blocks on incoming tide and sludge must be unloading in remote location of the blocks.
+ If using pumps, the operation time is only on incoming tide and sludge must be pumped stirred suddenly after stirred.
+ Use silt curtains/screens in canal mouth into block in order to prevent solid wastes from swept out into the river. Before taking off the silt curtains/screens for barge coming, all solid wastes must be fished out from the water, and after that, the silt curtains/screens are installed again. Solid wastes will be managed and treated like transported sludge.
+ Regularly collect solid wastes from block in order to prevent pump or clamshell from technical obstruction. Such solid wastes will be managed and treated like transported sludge as well.

Proposed measure + According to the consideration as mentioned in Chapter Four, 85,000 m3 contaminated
sludge will be treated in Da Phuoc Complex Solid Waste Treatment Plant, 330,000 m3 excavated soil will be used for leveling as Da Phuoc site. The Proposed mitigation measure for dredged sludge and excavated material disposal is presented in Figure 5.4.
+ According to the Da Phuoc Plant Progress, the alternative options for contaminated sludge disposal are as below: o Option 1 - If the Da Phuoc Plant is not operational by the time of the required
timing for THLG SP04 construction phase, the contractor will be responsible for construction of the site, for which financial contingencies have been made. Project's Contractor should build a landfill (design of landfill is presented below). at the Da Phuoc site to dispose THLG contaminated sludge (excavated soil will be used as leveling material for Da Phuoc site). The contractor must to carry out environmental protection measures at Da Phuoc Site.
o Option 2 - THLG SP04 construction is after the operation of Da Phuoc Complex Solid Waste Treatment Plant: THLG contaminated sludge will be disposed by the landfill or treated by the sludge treatment process of Da Phuoc Plant (sludge treatment process and wastewater treatment plant for leachate wastewater fiom landfill and sludge treatment process are described in Annex 5.1). The Da Phuoc Plant has a responsibility to carry out environmental protection measures at Da Phuoc Plant.
The legal of proposed treatment measure + The proposed measure for Project contaminated sludge disposal as shown in Figure 5.4
is based on the Agre'ement Letter signed between PMU HCM Urban Drainage Company (Ref. No 234, dated 02/03/2009).
+ The EIA report of Da Phuoc Complex Solid Waste Treatment Plant was approved by the DoNRE dated in year 2008.
A spare proposed measure for contaminated sludge treatment of Project + The spare measure is proposed in case there are any objective problems relating to
transport routes to Da Phuoc Site or the sludge treatment process of Da Phuoc plant is breakdown.
+ Due to the contaminated sludge assessment as mentioned above, the contaminated sludge at surface bottom of Tan Hoa - Lo Gom are lower than the maximum level for disposal in a licensed landfill. Therefore, they can be transported by road to the Tam Tan Landfill at Cu Chi District for disposal. Transportation must be covered (no leakage of water) when transporting high humidity sludge of Project.
+ The remaining excavated materials (none contaminate) can be used as leveling material in construction areas, industrial area and agricultural area.
Design of landfill for Option 1 For sludge landfill, the design will be used as areas to store contaminated sludge and it will be disintegrated by micro-organism in the early stages by adding a septic mud layer 200mrn thick to increase breaking the link between heavy metals and organic

5.2.5. Mitigation measures for impacts of other kinds of solid wastes
Other kinds of solid wastes which should have suitable measures to manage and control are demolishment waste, construction waste and floating municipal solid waste fished out fiom the canal:
The sites for collecting construction waste in each upgraded area will be determined in detailed design phase and construction phase. These sites must be suitable with the transport, in order not to obstruct the activities of human beings and the waste must be transported during the day. Those produced by construction activities, for instance scrap iron, cement packaging, used formworks, etc are considered construction wastes. They will be properly collected, classified and gathered in specific location in project site. Recyclable waste such as paper wrapping, plastic, iron waste will be sold to scrap dealer. Un.recyclable waste will be collected and treated by a reputable waste collector companies. Specially, all municipal solid waste floating on the canal will be collected and treated as other kinds of solid. The facilities and equipments used for fishing solid waste fiom the river in Vietnamese condition are illustrated in Figure 5.6 as a reference. The disposal site, route for transport of these wastes, facilities ... must be planned specifically. Mobile toilet should be installed at construction site of each package.

Set two temporary bridges up and downstream of replaced bridge. Roll-up construction with 50.100m length Select equipments and vehicles suitable to status of project site and nearby area; Transport time is reasonable; do not happen in rush hours. Choose alternative route which have smallest impacts on traffic system, avoid the route have high density of traffic flow and large population. Establishment of temporary passages and avoidance of moving in rush hours, if possible. For activities of repairinghuilding bridges, temporary bridges are filly feasible because all of bridges are small and short. Determination of temporary passages prior to construction and upgrading same when needed. Providing signposts, flash lights and traffic measures for traffic and work safety prior to digging roads. Roll-up construction, i.e. only moving to another section after installation of culverts and restoration of surface of one section. Restoration of road faces at the soonest. After completion, faces of roads and alleys and sidewalks should be cleaned to secure traffic safety. Designing roadmaps for construction machines so as to avoid of traffic jams. Traffic congestion monitoring should be implemented at construction sites. Maintaining the fences around big construction sites to determine limits of construction activities. Proper use of objects for guiding traffic in rush hours; Full respect to the parts of roads used for traffic; prohibition subcontractors fiom leaving any machines on parts left for traffic. Cooperation with local authorities for regulating traffic and reducing traffic jams in the places where fences for construction have been set up.
Additionally, the project should take measures to minimize any impacts on the road systems in the vicinity of construction sites, those include:
State of roads should be recorded in details prior to construction activities; Adjacent roads should be checked up in term of quality on a weekly basis and repaired if required throughout the construction; After construction, roads should be re-checked and compared with the previous state and in case of any downgrade; related roads should be restored to the recorded state.
Group of HEST (Heath, Environment, Safety and Transport) will be established (see Chapter 7) and make plan, check the implementation of mitigation measure approve before.
5.2.7. Plan to remove related infrastructures in project area

may be easily happened (populated centers, schools, hospitals, commercial areas, and passes.. .).
+ One of the most important measures for traffic safety is education in transport regulation. Regarding the fact that most of traffic accidents in Vietnam are caused by motorbike drivers who did not strictly follow the transport regulations. Therefore, local TV, radios should participate in the education programs and information booklets concerning traffic safety should be distributed for local people and drivers.
+ All construction machines and vehicles should abide by the regulatory speed of 5krn per hour in the sites under construction. In case of using specializing means, they should be isolated and responsible people should be appointed to warn people of danger related to such specializing means.
+ All digging and installing work items that are not accomplished should be isolated and warned of by signposts and flash lamps in nighttime so as to avoid of accidents to motorcycles riders in the rainy season as well as to active children nearby.
+ Progressively rehabilitate the trenches once works completed, if possible.
+ Lightning control system will be equipped according with current requirements and standards of Vietnam.
Preventing fire and explosion: + All fuel-using means should be strictly managed. Storage of fie1 at construction
sites should be prohibited so as to avoid of fire.
+ The fire prevention and warning system will be installed in needed locations in construction site based on Law on Fire Prevention and Regulations approved by Fire Prevention Division of HCM City Police Department.
+ At each large construction site, medical first aid station should be set up.
5.2.83. Restriction of impacts on landscape, aesthetics and living quality in the construction sites
As mentioned in Chapter 4, the impacts on landscape and visual space in construction phase are unavoidable and temperate temporary. However, these impacts may be minimized thanks to performing enough environmental protection measures by investor as above proposed.
53. MITIGATION MEASURES OF NEGATIVE IMPACT IN OPERATION PHASE Basically, the project mainly provides positive effects on environment and socio-economic condition in operation phase. However, some inevitable negative impacts should have mitigation measures to mhimise the impact and maintenance project's advantages. These are given below:
53.1. Protection of air quality and noise environment
Design roads and other infrastructure in arm of project as proper as design. Manage waste sources in Tan Hoa - Lo Gom basin, this is implemented by environmental agencies and related others of HCM city, District 6, District 11 and Tan Binh District. Educate community to protect environment in this basin thanks to People's Committee, Motherland Front Committee in different level (district, ward) in HCM city, District 6, District 1 1 and Tan Phu District. Frequently cleaning roads to reduce dust and watering roads in the dry season for the same purpose, if possible.

Restricting heavy duty trucks; allowing on dump trucks that meet sanitary standard, i.e. having covers and not dripping litter. Encouraging families to plant trees in the surroundings of their houses. Managing and restricting noisy entertainment businesses.
53.2. Protection of surface water quality of Tan Hoa - Lo Gom canal
53.2.1. Proposals for protection of water quality of Tan Hoa - Lo Gom canal
Build sewerage system as approved design to assure its proper operation. Setting up teams for regular management and cleaning alleys so as to avoid runoff water from bringing garbage to surface water sources. Encouraginglrequiring people's treatment of wastewater by means of septic tanks before discharge to common sewers. Periodically dredging of sewers and ditches to avoid of trouble water and spillage that are causative of poor landscape and hygiene in the project site. Moving out or strictly controlling local companies and enterprises such that they do not discharge effluent to the environment. Educate community to protect environment in this basin thanks to People's Committee, Motherland Front Committee in different level (district, ward) in HCM city, District 6, District 11 and Tan Binh District. Dropping solid wastes to canal must be banned and punished. Encouraging households to save materials and make full use of recoverable components so as to reduce the volume of refuse to be discharge to the environment.
53.2.2. Proposals for improvement of water quality of Tan Hoa - Lo Gom canal
As mentioned in Chapter 4, the water quality of TH-LG canal can be repolluted by the flow and load of wastewater discharged from domestic and industry in TI-JLG Basin. To be able to thoroughly improve the water quality of TH-LG canal, a CSO and wastewater treatment plant should be constructed. The CSO as described in Chapter Two will separate drainage system for runoff water and municipal wastewater. Wastewater will be collected a pumping station and conveyed to the wastewater treatment plant located in Binh Chanh District. The CSO can reduce over 90% pollutants load in wastewater in dry weather, so the water quality of Tan Hoa - Lo Gom canal will be strictly improved.
53.4. Other mitigation measures
Other mitigation measures should apply to minimise the impacts on traffic system, prevent trafic accident and control increased economic activities after completion of the project. To gain this goal needs cooperation between many agencieddepartments related to project area such as People's Committee, Motherland Front Committee in different level (district, ward) in HCM city, District 6, District 11 and Tan Binh District, HCM Department of Transportation and Civil.. . For example, peddlers must be banned from this area in order to keep the beauty of municipal landscape and/or prevent trafic accidents.

This Environmental Management Plan (EMP) given below includes an overview of necessary environmental considerations and actions to be taken during the detailed design, construction and operation of the project. The Plan includes a detailed work plan for the detailed design phase, and work plans for the construction and operation phases. This EMP is a working document, which will be updated and finalized at the end of detailed design, before project tender.
7.1. ORGANIZATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND RESPONSIBILITY
The Project Management Unit (PMU) will carry out and manage the project according to the regulations of the Government such as bidding process, control of time schedules, financial issues and quality control. The PMU will include a director, deputy directors, chief accountant, specialist of planning, construction, finance, law and environment, and administrative staff sufficient to carry-out its obligations under the Project.
The PMU has the responsibility for the implementation of the EMP. The institutional arrangements established for the main project under the HCMC Urban upgrading program during its phase 1 have proven to be effective and thus will continue to be used for this additional financing operation (Figure 1). The daily supervision of the mitigation measures (Table 3 below), which will be carried out by contractors, is included in the Terms of Reference (TOR) of a Construction Management Consultant (CMC) to be carried out by site engineers. Additional monitoring will be done at the community level as guided in a Community environmental management plan (CEMP). The PMU will be in charge of conducting monitoring of overall environmental changes during the project implementation. For this an independent environmental monitoring consultant will be hired to assist the PMU in conducting the environmental monitoring program (Table 5 below). The environmental consultant will also provide guidance to CMC and contractors in implementing the mitigation measures, as well as to the concerned local communities in carrying out CEMPs. A summary of the responsibilities of these parties and the reporting arrangements among them are presented in Table I and Figure 2 respectively.
To be effective, the PMU should work closely with community authorities to promote community participation in the planning, management, operation and monitoring of the project. In addition, environmental information campaigns (IEC) and environmental management training will be developed by the environmental consultant and will be provided to local residents to understand the infrastructure problems and their role in overcoming problems like cleaning and maintenance of the drainage system, proper household connections, prevention of illegal water supply and electricity connections, solid waste collection, condition of roads and street lighting. The PMU cooperate with the concerned companies in charge of water supply, sanitation, solid waste collection, street maintenance and electricity during the operation of the project to monitor operation and maintenance

73. PUBLIC INFORMATION PROGRAM AND COMMUNITY RELATION
The provision of information to the public will require the coordination of various communication efforts, systematic implementation, and a feedback mechanism through which input fiom the public can be received. To achieve this feedback mechanism, signage, and other promotional information and communication, could contain a contact number for the public. Signage showing the name of the Project, the name of Employer, and the name of Contractor should be located in at least 2 visible places at the construction site. Given the extent of the area that will be under construction, this may require more than one sign/or type of sign.
Local people have to be informed in advance about the public nuisance and especially about possible changes and disturbance for traffic. Rehabilitation works and new traffic arrangements during construction works could be announced to the public regionally in newspapers, TV, and radio. Locally the announcement could be given to the Phuong representatives who will inform the residents. Loudspeakers can be used during the construction work to give the latest information in concerned areas.
Some main principles for this effort may include:
The people need to be informed in advance about locations of construction activities
Starting of awareness campaign on environment for relevant parties, including contractor staffs, and establishment of a systematic approach to keep the public informed about construction activities
Implementation of public information and coordination program, including comments1 questions feedback mechanism (hotline, recognition and response to comments)
Meeting to discuss on construction plan and schedule with local businessmen (tourism service)
This aspect of the project will require the integration and efforts of many parties. Organizational requirements will need to be discussed and co-ordinated, details will have to be identified by responsible competent parties.
7.4. MITIGATION MEASURE PLAN
7.4.1. Summarized plan for mitigation measures during three principal stages
The project will be divided into 6 contract packages, each package has 5 components per each section of the canal. All packages are similar consisting of dredging, roads, bridges, CSOs and interceptors (for 4 packages), and box culvert (for 2 packages). Therefore, all mitigations mentioned in table below are equally applied to all packages. The PMU, with assistance fiom environment and TA consultants, makes sure that mitigation measures are included in the bidding documents. Mitigations measures are to be implemented by the contractors as obligations of their contracts, which will be supervised by the Construction Management Consultant (CMC). Environmental consultant, assisting the PMU, provides environmental training and advice to CMC, as well as local communities in supervising the implementation of the mitigation measures.

CONCLUSIONS
1. The VietNam Urban Upgrading Project - Ho Chi Minh Sub-project Sectorial Project No.4: Improvement of Canal, Embankment and Roads Along Tan Hoa - Lo Gom has a great role in improving the drainage system, flooding inundation and landscape of THLG basin. It will contribute to development socio-economy of related districts, the project is strongly supported by the People Committee of Hochiminh City and people in the project areas.
2. The results fiom EIA study in the Last Design Phase can be used to predict the main potential environmental impacts of the project, which are indicated as follows:
The most significant negative impacts will associate with the pre-construction phase, e.g. relocation of land, houses and other constructions. Estimated over 1,600 of houses, shops, and infrastructure facilities will be relocated for widening the road corridors.
Some religious structures (temples, pagodas, and shrine) are expected to be relocated. Impacts of house and land relocation on the project affected persons (PAPs)/households will be negative and significant if no reasonable resettlement policies will be applied. However, based on the experiences from other similar projects, this impact is expected to be effectively mitigated before the construction phase. Data fiom the PMU show that the Hochiminh City with the proper relocation and compensation policy, most of the PAP were satisfied and no serious complaints were obtained fiom PAPS.
Traffic accident caused by increased transport on the canal side roads will be a problem in the first few years in the operation phase if the traffic will not be properly managed. On the contrary, it may be reduced due to road improvement and good traffic control.
3. In order to mitigate the potential negative impacts, an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is recommended. The main issues of the EMP are as follows:
Implementation of reasonable resettlement programs to support stabilization of life of the Project Affected Households. They will include good policies in compensation, setting up resettlement sites with adequate infrastructure facilities and long-term supporting program.
Implementation of proper engineering measures, especially for dredging and excavating activities.
Implementation of adequate pollution control measures, including control of air, noise, vibration pollution at construction sites and the historical, religious, cultural areas near by the construction sites by adequate management and technical measures.
Implementation of comprehensive monitoring programs, including:
+ The monitoring programs for the RAP during the pre-construction and continuous phases.
+ The environmental pollution monitoring programs during the pre-construction, construction and operation phases.
+ Organization of an environmental unit in the PMU to manage environmental issues of the project.
+ Budget for the EMP, including mitigation, monitoring and institutional strengthening will be provided by PMU.

ANNEX 4.1 - CALCZTLATION FOR AIR POLLUTANTS OF EXHAUSTED GASES FROM BARGES AND TRUCKS USED IN PROCESS OF DISPOSAL OF DREDGED MATERIAL
There are some intended options for choosing route of sludge transport as presented in Annex 4.2. Which option chosen depends on the specific condition, but any option related to transport by barge is qualified because shipping by barge is, in general, more energy efficient, safer, little congestion-causing, little noise or air pollution-producing, and it has relatively small effects on land and community Dr. C.

ANNEX 4.3 - DETAIL OF VIBRATION IMPACT
Construction activity can result in varying degrees of ground vibration, depending on the equipment and methods employed. Operation of construction equipment causes ground vibrations that spread through the ground and diminish in strength with distance. Buildings founded on the soil in the vicinity of the construction site respond to these vibrations, with varying results ranging fi-om no perceptible effects at the lowest levels, low rumbling sounds and perceptible vibrations at moderate levels, and slight damage at the highest levels.
Construction vibration should be assessed quantitatively in cases where there is significant potential for impact from construction activities. Such activities include blasting, pile-driving, vibratory compaction, demolition, and drilling or excavation in close proximity to sensitive structures.
To assess the impact of vibration, the following procedure is used:
Damage Assessment:
+ Select the equipment and associated vibration source levels at a reference distance of 7,62 m from Table 4.3.1
+ Make the propagation adjustment according to the following formula (this formula is based on point sources with normal propagation conditions):
PPVequip = PPVmf x (82,02/D)"
Where :
o PPVequip is the peak particle velocity in idsec of the equipment adjusted for distance
o PPVref is the reference vibration level in idsec at 25 feet fi-om Table 4.3.1
o D is the distance fiom the equipment to the receiver.
+ Apply the vibration damage criteria fiom Table 4.3.2.
Annoyance Assessment:
+ If desired for consideration of annoyance or interference with vibration-sensitive activities, estimate the vibration level Lv at any distance D from the following equation:
Lv(D) = Lv(7,62 m) - 301og(D/0,012)
Where:
o Lv(D): Vibration level at D m;
o Lv(7,62 m): Vibration level at 7,62 m from Table 4.3.1.
o D: distance fiom vibration to receiver.
+ Apply criteria in Table 4.3.2 for assessment.

Notes: 1. "Frequent Events" is defined as more than 70 vibration events of the same source per day. Most rapid transit projects fall into this category. 2. "Occasional Events" is deJZned as between 30 and 70 vibration events of the same source per day. Most commuter trunk lines have this many operations. 3. "Infrequent Events" is defined as fewer than 30 vibration events of the same kind per day. This catenow includes most commuter rail branch lines.
Typical land uses: vibration-sensitive research and manufacturing, hospitals with vibration-sensitive equipment, and university research operations. All residential land uses and any buildings where people sleep, such as hotels and hospitals Includes schools, churches, other institutions, and quiet ofices that do not have vibration-sensitive

ANNEX 4.4 - THE SIMULATION OF DREDGE RE-SUSPENSION AND CONTAMINANT TRANSPORT MODEL The dredging activities have mainly impact on quality of Tan Hoa - Lo Gom surface water, but this impact is negligible and not noticeable because of reasons mentioned aboved. These activities in the section of KMO.00 - KM1+401.45, however, may impact on water boy of Tau Hu canal in the ebb-tide and in case of no applied mitigation measures (the most disadvantageous case). Therefore, assessing the level of increase in pollutant concentration in the section of KMO.00 - KM1+401.45 of Tan Hoa - Lo Gom canal on water quality of Tau Hu is necessary (Figure 4.4.1). Dredge Re-suspension and Contaminant Transport Model - Version 1.0 developed by Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering - University of Utah - USA is used to predict the increase and spread of pollutants in the area. Condition applied for this model is the most disadvantageous: Concentration of pollutants chosen fiom the data presented in Chapter 3 is highest; dredging time is on the strong ebb-tide; and no mitigation measures carried out.

ANNEX 4.7 - ESMATES WASTEWATER FLOW AND LOAD DISCHARGED FROM THLG BASIN
Estimates Domestic flow and load The wastewater flow parameters adopted for the THLG Project generally followed the stipulations in the Prime Minister's Decision is 200 Llpersodday (by interpolation) applied for Domestic, commercial, light industry in 2008 and 320 Llpersodday in year 2020.
Population projections are required for the determination of future wastewater flows. The District Statistical Offices provided population data for the period 2000 - 2008. The data for each ward in the THLG Basin was analysed to determine an overall annual percentage population growth by ward. These population projections have been used on a year-by- year basis to calculate future populations in each ward. Estimates of future population and wastewater flow rates are summarised in Table 4.7.1.

ANNEX 4.8 - ENVIRONMENT IMPACT ASSESSMENT USING RIAM MODEL FUAM (Rapid Impact Assessment Matrix) is used to carry out integrated impact assessment for the project.
a) Advantage of RIAM: It is a powerful Impact Assessment system that organises and analyses the components selected by the scooping of any holistic environmental impact assessment. The RIAM method provides a completely transparent record of the judgments made in the process, coupled with a fast analysis system and results that can be simply presented. It can be used for a wide range of Impact Assessments at different levels of decision making and planning. RIAM has successfully been used for Initial Environmental Evaluation (IEE) and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), as well for Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) and Regional Environmental & Social Assessment (RESA). RIAM may be adapted for use in Sustainability Appraisal (SA), evaluation of performance and for programme/project prioritisation.
b) History of FUAM: The concept of FUAM was developed by Christopher Pastakia in the late 1 980ts, and coalesced into a system to demonstrate the degree of change in engineering project options and interventions. This was applied first in water resource and river management projects in Bangladesh in 199 1 -92.
In 1993 when Chris Pastakia joined the Danish Water Quality Institute (VKI) as Senior Environmental Advisor, he led a small team that further researched, tested and developed the impact assessment system he brought with him, and the named changed to RIAM at this time. The method became a standard system for environmental impact assessment in VKI, and was taught to participants from a wide number of developing countries in the Institute's Environment & Water Management Course. In the year 2000 VKI merged with the Danish Hydraulic Institute (DM) to form DHI Water & Environment. c) Basic of RIAM The important assessment criteria fall into two groups:
(A) criteria that are of importance to the condition, and which can individually change the score obtained
(B) criteria that are of value to the situation, but individually should not be capable of changing the score obtained.
Group A: A1 : Importance of condition
4 = important to nationaVinternationa1 interests
$3 = important to regionavnational interests
2 = important to areas immediately outside the local condition
1 = important only to the local condition
0 = no importance A2: Magnitude of changefeffect

+3 = major positive benefit
+2 = significant improvement in status quo
+ 1 = improvement in status quo
0 = no changelstatus quo
-1 = negative change to status quo
-2 = significant negative dis-benefit or change
-3 = major dis-benefit or change
Group B: B 1 : Permanence
1 = no changelnot applicable
2 = temporary
3 = permanent
B2: Reversibility
1 = no changelnot applicable
2 = reversible
3 = irreversible
B3 : Cumulative
1 = no changelnot applicable
2 = non-cumulative/single
3 = cumulativelsynergistic
Level of impact: To evaluate the impact level, this model uses Environmental Score (ES):
(A 1 ) x (A2) = AT
(Bl) + (B2) + (B3) = BT
(AT) x (BT) = ES

Remarks: In general, the project has most impacts in the level of -B (Negative Changehpact) The following impacts should be specially concerned in order to have effective and feasible mitigation measures: + In design and pre-construction phase:
o Encroachment on residential land o Encroachment on historical/ cultural areas o Encroachment on technical facilities along the existing roads o Compensation and resettlement
+ In construction phase: o Dredging process, transport and disposal of dredged material.
o Demolishment waste in construction phase o Air pollution due to fugitive dust and exhausted gases fiom trucks. o Impact of noise pollution. o Impact of vibration. o Waste oil fiom maintenance process.
o Domestic solid waste and wastewater.
+ In operation phase: o Air pollution and noise pollution due to fugitive dust and exhausted gases in
operation phase
o Increase in surface-water pollution and sedimentation in operation phase. The mitigation will be proposed for each impact in all phases of implementing project.

ANNEX 5.1 - DESCRIPTION ON SLUDGE TREATMENT PROCESS OF DA PHUOC PLANT According to the approved EIA report of Da Phuoc Complex Solid Waste Treatment Plant, the progress of Da Phuoc Plant has two stages and that will satisfy the demand of sludge treatment of Tan Hoa - Lo Gom project. The progress of Da Phuoc Plant is presented as below:
I. Stage 1: In the first stage (from year 2009 to 2012), some main components of sludge treatment process have not yet installed but Da Phuoc Site has to receive excavated sludge form many Project. Therefore, in this stage, Da Phuoc Plant will construct several components as below:
o Weighting station, o Sludge receiver plat, o Landfill for sludge disposal
o Leachate collection system and preliminary treatment.
For sludge landfill, the design will be used as areas to store contaminated sludge and it will be disintegrated by micro-organism in the early stages by adding a septic mud layer 200mm thick to increase breaking the link between heavy metals and organic substances (based on the results of research: components of heavy metal in the polluted sludge are commonly associated as an organic link, source: "Re-Use of waste sludge for Industry and Improving agricultural land, Ms Nguyen Thi Phuong Loan). Sludge landfill at Da Phuong site is designed with main parameters as follows:
o Dimension : 200m x 250m x 2m o Height of disposal sludge : 2 m o Bottom layer and leachate collection system:
+ Sand layer 300mm thick
+ Clay layer 100mm thick
+ HDPE layer 2-3mm thick
+ Geo-textile layer lOOmm thick
+ Sandlgravel layer 500mm thick and leachate collection system o Covered layer:
+ Sand layer 200mm thick
+ Clay layer 100mm thick
+ HDPE layer 1.5 mm thick
+ Geo-textile layer 1 OOmm thick
+ Sandlgravel layer 600mrn thick
+ Covered soil layer 500mm thick and planted. The cross sections of landfill are presented in Figure 1.
11. Fully operation phase (since 2012): o In the operation phase, the sludge treatment process of Da Phuoc Plant is presented in
Figure 2. The capacity of plant is 3000 tons per day.

o For Tan Hoa - Lo Gom sludge landfill (if in case the TH-LG project built the sludge larndfill), it can continue closed unstill the Da Phuoc plant needs to reuse the landfill in order to dispose the solid waste generated from sludge treatment processing procedures.
o Wastewater discharged from sludge treatment process and from landfill should be collected and treated to meet TCVN 5945:2005 B class before discharge into the Rach Chieu Creek. The wastewater treatment technology of Da Phuoc Plant is presented in Figure 3.
