I. INTRODUCTION

Dak Song 110KV substation and branch line are located in Duc An townlet, Dak Song district, Dak Nong province. The 110kV substation is located near the T-junction of Highway No14 to Dak N'Drung commune, far away from Highway No14 to the east about 100 meters (on the right side of Highway No14 in the direction away from Dak Lak to Ho Chi Minh City). This location is consistent with the local general plan that has been approved by Dak Nong Provincial People's Committee.Analysis of the existing power sources and power grid shows that that they would not meet the load demand in the coming years.Therefore, it is necessary to invest inbuildingsome 110 kV substations, including Dak Song 110kV substation and branch line to provide load for the area of Dak Song district in particular, and Dak Nong province in general. Reorganizing the need to implement the subproject, Dak Nong province has requested the World Bank (WB) to finance the sub-project of “Dak Song 110kV Substation and Branch Line”. This is one of sub-projects to be carried out in phase 1 of the Distribution Effective Project (DEP) of the Energy of Vietnam (EVN) funded by the WB. The subproject will be implemented in the area of Dak Song district, Dak Nong province.

Thesubprojectactivitiesinclude:i) Construction of an 110/22KV substation; ii) construction of thecontrolhouse, distribution system, and theshifting house of the substation; andiii) new construction of a double-circuit 110KV branch line of 900m long. These activitiescan causenegativeimpactson the environment andlocal communities during pre-construction, construction, andoperation.

In order to ensure thatpotentialnegative impactscan be identifiedand during the preparation and mitigatedduring the subprojectimplementation process andthat the subproject complies with the Environmental AssessmentPolicy OP/ BP4:01) ofthe World Bank. An Environmental ManagementPlan(EMP)of the sub-project that follows the guidance provided in the Environmental ManagementFramework(EMF) of the DEP project has been prepared. This EMP includes: the sub-project description, policy framework, applied environmental technological standards and regulation, potential negative impacts, proposed mitigation measures implemented during pre-construction, construction andoperation,implementation arrangement ofEMPand budget. The EMP willbe incorporatedintotenderdocumentsand contracts, alongwithenvironmental monitoring and supervision.

Under the government environmental impact assessment regulation the subproject needs to prepare an environmental impactassessment(EIA) report. The EIA of the subproject of “Dak Song 110kV Substation and Branch Line” was approved by Dak Nong Provincial People Committee under Decision………..

3.5. Main Works Before and During Construction Phase, and Transportation

3.5.1. Main Works Before and During Construction Phase

- Carry out compensation, site clearance;

- Take over the construction site, set up temporary camps

- Transport materials, equipment and human resources to the site

- Level the surface, Building the connection road from the existing asphalted road to the substation with 50 m length (the road crosses the coffee plot)

- Build substation and control house, excavatetower foundations, set up towers, install transformer and power line.

- Build substation gate and fence walls, etc.

3.5.2. Means for Transportation of Construction Materials and Equipment

- Materials and equipment will be transported from freight yards and storehouses of the subproject owner to temporary storehouses of the subproject by trucks suitable with packaged format. After that, they will be transported to the subproject site by trucks with load capacity of 5 – 7.5 tons. Roads that are used to transport materials to substation site and some tower locations are Highway No1A, provincial road and other inter hamlet, inter-village roads. The load capacity of the trucks has to be suitable with traffic load in the area. After temporarily loaded near the roads, materials and equipment will be manually carried to construction site. The substation construction site is near the roads, the manually carried distance is short. For the line construction site, there are many positions faraway from the roadsor located on hill slopessothemanual transportationis relativelyexpensive. The weighted average of manual transportation distance is ofabout350-400m.Roads for transporting construction material are Highway No.14, asphalted road to Dak N'Drung and pathway crossing coffee milpas. These roads do not cross residential areas, schools, hospitals and medical stations.

- Building materials such as: sand, grit, cement will be supplied by suppliers who have got business license in locality within the radius of 10 – 30 km.
