IV- BRIEF ENVIRONMENTAL BACKGROUND OF THE SUB-PROJECT AREA
4.1. Geographical Location of the Sub-project Area
Binh Dinh province is located in the central coast, the province’s territory stretches
along the North-South. Its narrow width to average is 55km (the narrowest place is 50km and
the maximum value is 60km). Binh Dinh province is bordered by Quang Ngai province in the
North with boundary length of 63km, by the South China Sea province in the East with
coastal length of 134km, by Phu Yen province in the South with boundary length of 50km, by
Gia Lai province in the West boundary length of 130km. Binh Dinh province is considered as
one of getways to the sea of High land provinces and Southern Laos.
Total natural land area of the province is 6,039.56 km2. Total population is 1,489,900
people. Population density is 247people/km2 (statistic in 2009). About administrative
organization, Binh Dinh province is devided into 11 administrative units, in which, Quy
Nhon city is the first grade provincial city and 10 districts of An Lao, Van Canh, Vinh Thanh
(mountainous), Hoai An, Tay Son (midland), Hoai Nhon, Phu Cat, Phu My, Tuy Phuoc, An
Nhon (plain). There are 159 communes, wards and towns in the whole province, in which,
(129 communes, 14 towns and 16 wards). Currently, Quy Nhon city is a political and cultural
center of Binh Dinh province.
Sub-project “Phuoc Son 110kV Substation and the Branch Line” is located in Tuy
Phuoc district, Binh Dinh province. It’s bordered by Van Canh district in the West, by An
Nhon town in the North, by Quy Nhon city in the East and the South. The district has area of

units including towns of Dieu Tri, Tuy Phuoc and communes of Phuoc Thang, Phuoc Hung,
Phuoc Hoa, Phuoc Quang, Phuoc Son, Phuoc Hiep, Phuoc Loc, Phuoc Thuan, Phuoc Nghia,
Phuoc An, Phuoc Thanh. The district terrain is accumulative plain at riverside and coastal
plain at the East of district. Thi Nai lagoon is located in the East of the district. Tuy Phuoc
district is engaged in farming such as growing rice, crops, gracilaria, sugar-cane, fruit trees;
bredding cow, poultry, fish, shrimp and fishing and processing seafoods. Industry is
underdeveloped, mainly produce cement, construction stone and exploit kaolin. Traffic
system has national highway No.1A, No.19 and the North-South railway running through the
district.
4.2. Climate, Topography, Pedology in the Sub-project
a) Climate:
Binh Dinh province, in general, and Tuy Phuoc district, in particular, have a wet
tropical and monsoon climate. Due to the complex topography, when monsoon approaches to
the land, it changes its direction and intensity so much.
- Annual average temperature: at mountainous region fluctuates from 20.1oC to
26.1oC, the highest is 31.7
oC and the lowest is 16.5
oC; at coastal region is 27
oC, the highest is
39.9oC and the lowest is 15.8
oC.
- Monthly absolute average moisture in a year: at mountainous region fluctuates from
20.1% to 27.9% and the relative one is 79.92%; at coastal region is 27.9% and the relative
one is 79%.
- Rainfall: The wet season begins from August to December and the dry season starts
from January to July. Particularly to mountainous region, there is an additional wet season
Sub-project: Phuoc Son 110kV Substation and branch linee, Binh Dinh Province
Environmental Management Plan Report Page 14
from May to August due to impact of wet season at High Land. Dry season lasts from
January to August. For mountainous districts, total average rainfall is 1,751 mm. The total
rainfall tends to decrease from mountainous to coastal regions and from Northwest to
Southeast.
- Storm: Binh Dinh province is located in the central-central part of Vietnam where
storms usually land to mainland. Annually, in the coast from Danang city to Khanh Hoa
province, averagely 1.04 storms land to with the highest frequence from September to
November.
- Wind: The popular direction of wind in Tuy Phuoc district from September to March
of the next year is North – Northwest, from April to August is East-Southeast.
Maximum average speed of wind for many years: 45m/s
Minimum average speed of wind for many years: 2.1m/s
Average speed of wind for many years: 28.5m/s
The sub-project construction area is in tropical climate region belonging to the coastal
Central-Central Part where has two distinct seasons: wet and dry.
b) Topography
The branch line passes through a topography of flat agricultural land near traffic roads
facilitating the gathering materials and equipments and transporting during construction.
c) Pedology
Geological soil here is mostly rich soil of gray and brown-gray, sandy soil mixing
with quartz with medium coarse grain of light-gray and yellow-gray colours. The soil is
mixed with much of shell and mud in livid and red-blue colour. Its structure is unidentical.
Amount of small grit and pebble is large. Thickness of soil layer is from 2m to 4m.
4.3. Natural Resources in the Sub-project Area
* Soil resource: Binh Dinh province has the natural land area of 6,039 km2, 11 groups
of soil with 30 diferent types, in which alluvial soil makes up 71,000 ha. There are now
nearly 136,350 ha of agricultural land, 249,310 ha of forestry land, 62,870 ha of non-
agricultural land and more than 150,000 ha of unused land that can be exploited to develop
silviculture and other purposes (statistics in 2009).
* River and stream: River and stream system of Binh Dinh province mostly
originates in high mountainous area of the East side of Truong Son range. Rivers and streams
are not big with high and short slope, low alluvial content. Their total capacity is 5.2 million
m3 amd hydroelectric potentiality is 182.4 million kW. There are 4 big rivers such as Con,
Lai Giang, La Tinh and Ha Thanh, some small ones such as Chau Truc or Tam Quan, about
15 artificial lakes and 3 freshwater lagoons making advantageous to agricutural and
aquicultural development. Especially, Thi Nai lagoon is favourable for seaport development
at national level and contributes to Nhon Hoi economic zone development. Thi Nai lagoon
has the biggest bridge crossing the sea in Vietnam today.
* Flora and fauna resources: With conditions of hot and wet climate, much rain and
diversified geography and soi, flora of Binh Dinh province is rich of varieties and species.
There are 66 ordos, 175 familias and 1,848 species. Wildlife in forests in Binh Dinh province
associates with fauna systems of Kong Ha Nung (Gia Lai province), Ba To and Tra Bong
(Quang Ngai province), Tra My and Phuoc Son (Quang Nam province) including 7 beast
Sub-project: Phuoc Son 110kV Substation and branch linee, Binh Dinh Province
Environmental Management Plan Report Page 15
ordos with 19 familias and 38 species and 13 bird ordos with 37 familias and 77 species.
However, the project area is far from these zones. Plants are mostly rice, crops and some
popular fruit trees and timber trees. Animal are mainly cattles and poultries. Wildlifes are
mainly birds, bat, squirrel.
4.4. Transport
The sub-project area has a fairly convinient traffic condition. The sub-project site is
about 15 km far from the Highway No.1A, and 200 m far from provincial highway No.640.
Because the substation position is closed to the inter-hamlet concrete roads and provincial
highway No.640, it’s favourable for equipment transportation and operation management
later.

PMU will compensate satisfactorily for the
temporarily or permanently affected land.
3 Households
need to
relocated?
x There are no households need to relocated.
4 Affect on the
flora by site
clearance?
x Trees higher than 4m in ROW will be cut
down. The T/L crosses rice farm causing no
effect on trees.
The T/L just stretches wire at current poles
and raises no new poles. The T/L crosses
Sub-project: Phuoc Son 110kV Substation and branch linee, Binh Dinh Province
Environmental Management Plan Report Page 16
Ord. Impacts Yes No Descriptions of the sub-project impacts
rice farm area and is constructed after the
harvest causing no effect on flora in ROW.
5 Affect on the
natural reserve?
x The T/L and subsation are not in natural
forest, protective forest or natural resources,
so there are no impacts on the flora in the
area.
6 Cause risk of
local people’s
and worker’s
health by
chemical
substance and
explosive?
x The subproject does not use chemical
substance and explosive.
7 Develua of
cultural and
historical
works?
x - The T/L is not in area where there are
cultural, historical and public works so it
does not affect on them.
- When excavating at substation position, if
antiques, cultural and historical monuments
are discorvered, the Contractors have to
conform to the guidance in item 14, part 6.1
– Environmental impact mitigation
measures.
In stage of construction
8 Soil erosion and
pollution of
surface water
resources?
x - When excavate soil at substation
foundation positions (foundations of
transformer, control house, shift on-duty
house), the surface soil will be excavated
and follow the rain water and pollute the
surface water resources. Materials are also
scattered with rain water and pollute the
surface water resources. However, soil
excavation will avoid the rainy season and
construction of each term is thoroughly so
soil erosion and surface water resource
pollution are unnoticeable.
9 Noise, and
vibration, and
dust?
x - Noise and vibration caused by: material
transportation means and some constructing
activities such as: tower erection, conductor
stretching, generator. However, these means
and machinery are managed the licenses, the
constructing time is also managed (in
daytime), limit using horns when
transportation crossing the residential areas.
- If the work is near other infrastructure
Sub-project: Phuoc Son 110kV Substation and branch linee, Binh Dinh Province
Environmental Management Plan Report Page 17
Ord. Impacts Yes No Descriptions of the sub-project impacts
works, it must be embanked and covered in
order to limit the effect on near
infrastructure works by vibration caused
land fall in. To the sub-project, its position is
far from other infrastructure works so it does
not effect on them.
10 Air pollution? x - Air pollution can be occurred when
transporting and loading materials,
constructing by exhaust and dust.
However, with the average number of 2
trucks per week – 2 trips per day
(construction works are in about 2 months)
for the substation construction (see the main
volume in table 1). So level of dust and
exhaust in the air is minor.
11 Local traffic
obstruction?
x - Materials and equipments are transported
from the yards and storehouses of PMU to
the sub-project areas with suitable packing.
After that, they are transported to the
construction sites by 5-7 ton trucks.
- Building materials such as: sand, stones,
cement will be supplied by the local
suppliers and transported directly to the
construction sites.
- With average using frequency of
transporting means as above (item 9) and
constructing activities such as soil
excavating, conductor stretching, they will
cause local traffic obstruction. However,
local traffic is thin and the time for loading
materials (sand, stone, soil, …) is loaded by
the transporting means so the effect level is
minor.
12 Any damage or
degrading to
rural traffic-
ways and traffic
safety?
x All materials and equipment are packed with
suitable weight for transporting on roads.
Traffic roads here are asphalted (Highway
No.1A, provincial highway No.640 and
other inter-hamlet roads).
13 Risks or
damages to
biological
diversity?
x In the sub-project area, there is little
wildlife. The permanently acquired land area
is about 5,690.76 m2 and temporarily
affected land area is 450 m2 of mainly rice
farm. Therefore, the level of flora clearance
and effected on fauna is unnoticeable. In
Sub-project: Phuoc Son 110kV Substation and branch linee, Binh Dinh Province
Environmental Management Plan Report Page 18
Ord. Impacts Yes No Descriptions of the sub-project impacts
sum, the sub-project does not cause risks or
damages to biological diversity.
14 Solid waste of
soil excavation,
tree cutting in
ROW and
constructing
activities?
x Solid waste is generated when constructing
such as soil excavation (remains of soil and
stones) or constructing activities
(fragmented iron, stones, sand, plastic
bottles, cement wraps). The impacts of solid
waste will be minimized through waste
reduction practice and the other measures
presented in item 6.1 of this EMP.
15 Effect on
environment by
the workers?
x It’s scheduled to build up a camp in the
substation area for workers. House will be
rent from local people and used as
storehouses. So living waste water and
garbage of workers will affect on
surrounding environment if having no
environmental protection measures.
However, construction site arrangement is
always concerned by PMU and shown in
bidding document and contract condition. So
there will be measures for each separate
environmental issues such as: making septic
tank, drainage, in compliance with local
regulations. So, effect on environment by
the workers is inconsiderable. Relevant
mitigation measures presented in item 6.1 of
this EMP will be carried out to minimize
environmental impacts from workers.
16 Conflicts
between
construction
workers and
local people?
x - There is difference between the workers
and local people about income, lifestyle and
custom. However, there is not deep conflict
between them because they use the same of
Vietnamese in their communication. The
workers have to obey regulations of
contractors as well as the local. In order to
minimize conflicts, the sub-project uses
some local labors in manual work. So, no
deep conflicts between them occur.
- Otherwise, the sub-project will bring
benefit to the local people so that getting the
greeting of them as well as the closed
coordination of Local Authorities.
17 Effect on health
and safety of
workers and
x Accidents can occur during construction if
safety regulations are not obeyed such as:
checking tools before use, setting up
dagerous signals at sites of pole foundation,
Sub-project: Phuoc Son 110kV Substation and branch linee, Binh Dinh Province
Environmental Management Plan Report Page 19
Ord. Impacts Yes No Descriptions of the sub-project impacts
local people? generators and conductor stretching and
working above. These accidents can occur
not only on the workers but also on local
people. However, all safety construction
methods are complied with regulations, so
these risks can be mitigated. These risks can
be minimized by applying mitigation
measures presented in item 6.1 of this EMP.
18 Fire and
explosion by
mines or bombs
remaining from
the war?
x In the past, this area was at war. However, it
was the past 36 years, this area has been
exploited, used and constructed many works,
so remained landmines or bombs are
unnoticeable. NPMU will contract with
army unit to check and set up a method to
disarm them before constructing.
In stage of operation
19 Development
and
improvement in
living
standards?
x - Take a main role in attraction the
investment and developing local economy
because electricity cannot be short in
industrial production.
- Assist the local people in developing
agriculture, services including health and
education.
20 Fragmentation
of flora and
fauna habitats
due to easier
access by
human being?
x - The sub-project does not build temporary
access road.
- After constructing the substation,
construction sites will be rearranged as prior,
vegetation cover and trees in the ROW
under 4m height will be maintained due to
the unremarkable impact on natural habitat.
The sub-project is not in wasteland area so
does not affect on wildlife.
21
Effect on health
and safety for
operators and
local people?
x Electric shocks and other accidents can
occur.
22 Electric
magnetic field
and affect on
health?
x The substation and T/L are designed and
constructed according to existing regulations
and standards of the Power Sector, in which,
electrical safety issues had been calculated
in order to avoid harmful to operators as
well as people. Before the sub-project taken
into practice, all safe technical indicators
have to be specified through testing to
Sub-project: Phuoc Son 110kV Substation and branch linee, Binh Dinh Province
Environmental Management Plan Report Page 20
Ord. Impacts Yes No Descriptions of the sub-project impacts
ensure meeting the standards and regulations
with the witness of PMU, Contractors and
Operation Management Unit. So, local
people and operators will not be harmful by
electric magnetic field.
23 Effect on
airplanes, birds,
bats?
x The sub-project area is mainly agricultural
land without species of bats or squirrels but
birds and bred animals. So the sub-project
does not affect on flying animals. The area
has no airline. Thus, the sub-project does not
affect on airplanes, birds or bats.
24 Infection of
land with oil
overflow?
x The sub-project does not dismantle old
transformer as well as use equipments with
PCB and harmful chemical substances.
25 Risks of firing
and explosion?
x In case of incident, transformer and other
equipments can be exploded and cause firing
and oil overflow. Therefore, it’s required to
prepare fire fighting tools and incident oil
container.
