)Overall commenits

1. A-ea.s

Most road will be done which is situated in areas that the density of population is low, mainly

agricultural land. The distance from edge of road to works along the route is very short, it is

only about 10 - 20 m. Long An, Tien Giang, Kien Giang route passes urbanlization areas,

dense population. Tay Ninh, Binh Duong, Dong Nai 1, Dong Nai 2 passes rubber forests (but

not any area of rubber forest is affected).

2. All of concrete mixing plants serve the project which are located on cities, town (these are

fixed plants). Working units will buy asphalt from these plants, so they do not locate these

plants just in construction site. For example: Can Tho road will be done with asphalt from

mixing plants of Can Tho. The distance from construction sites to mixing plants is under 100

km, and meets standards for transportation of asphalt.

3. Collecting material and building camp for workers

In the working process, the contractors will borrow agricultural land for gathering material and

building camp for workers (under the type of land for rent). The project will limit maximum the

time of storage of material in gathered locations and try to use material as soon as possible.

4. Exploitation of material

Sand: section passes Soc Trang, Tien Giang, Dong Thap, Hau Giang, Kien Giang that will

exploit sand from cannals and rivers close to construction site.

Exploitation of rock and soil: All of works are not close to quarry and site of soil expioitation,

so construction company will buy rock and soil from other sites. Eight roads in Soc Trang, Tien

Giang, Long An, Dong Thap, Tra Vinh 1, Tra Vinh 2, Hau Giang, Kien Giang, rock is

exploited in An Giang; Four roads in Tay Ninh, Binh Duong, Dong Nai I and, Dong Nai 2,

rock is exploited in Thuan An, Binh duong and Bien Hoa.

S5. Action of mater-ial tranisportationi

Siand will be bought in Tan Chau, Chau Doc for construction of Long An, Tra Vinh l, Tra Vinh

2 road, and transported by boat on the Tien, Hlau river and cannals to roadworks in the case

these routes are located close to river and transport by road in the case these routes are not close

to river. Four roads in Tay Ninh, Binh Duong, Dong Nai I and Dong Nai 2; sand will be

exploited from Dong Nai river and transported to roadworks by road.

3 )Overall comnients

The project does not build asphalt mixing plants, it buy asphalt from fixed mixing plants that

* are available in urban areas near constnhction sites, so roadworks will not be affected by air

pollution, watse water, noise and vibriation due to operation of mixing plants.

| Gathered location of materials will be limited maximumly time for stored materials, try to use

materials off in order to mitigate effect of dust pollution, water pollution, simultaneously

mitigate maximumly loss of materials and decreas'ingmaterials quality.

The main effects of project are air pollution, noise. vibriation from working machine; danger to

traffic-jam, accident in the process of construction as well as roads are used. Solid waste and

water pollution from camps of worker and from process of road ground digging and banking.

Soil in Kien Giang, Soc Trang, Tra Vinh (TL 911), Long An area is contaminated by salt andI sulphur. However, working road in these areas is only to bank road ground, but not dig, danger

to soil and water acidification are not high.

| The plan of work: begins in April 2005 and prolongs 9 months approximately. Because this is

the rainy season, the solutions to resistance to erosion are significant consideration.

11. Methzods of minimizing water pollution and preservation of water ecology

Waste water from worker's camps 14 At worker's camps, needs to build sanitary bathhouse and movable toilet in order to

collect waste water and lead the flow to deposit hole before discharging into river,

drainage canals.

15 Build septic tank for each worker's camp

Lubricant, chemicals from equipments and 16 Collect lubricant; avoid oil overflowing can cause water pollution at the construction

vehicles sites, asphalt stations and concrete-carriers

Protect pipelines of water supply 17 Avoid to damage pipelines during the working.

Domestic waste and construction waste 18 Prohibition of discharging hazardous substances originated from construction

activities into lakes, rivers or irrigation canals. Solid waste produced from domestic

usage has to be disposed by hygienic landfill or similar systems. The site of landfill

must be selected by local Department of Science, Technology and Environment.

Solid waste from temporary housing of construction workers must be collected and

transported to the treating sites with detail conditions according to the contract with

Provincial Urban Eiivironment Company. Within this project, this kind of waste need L

to be collected and moved to the landfill of Can Tho city, Soc Trang province or other

province respectively.

Drilling of bridges support column 19 Using filters and drilling methods to collect and dispose drilling waste. The drill

waste must be collected and processed, not disposed onto the water surface.

III. Measures to minimize pollution, erosion, flooding and subsidence of land

Overall 23 Minimize the duration of which the earth is exposed: after land-related acti ivies

(leveling and bulldozing, tamping and stuffing) it must immediate continie to carpet

(on road surface) or grow grass or place stones as soon as possible

24 Situate the cement drain along the slope of the border so that water will floe into the

drain of the road

25 During construction, temporary drains must be placed under the road surface and

appropriately placed so as to reduce flow changes leading to erosion

26 During usage, minimize erosion by maintaining cover vegetation along thc road

For road along river, streams, drainages 27 Follow strictly regulations on earth excavation sites and amount of earth t bce

banked; sites, amount, sizes of drains, positions and number and size of water

draining holes near the road

Roads in weak foundation areas 28 Measures to strengthen foundation, base to reduce land subsidence in weak areas:

- Collect mud and replace with sand

?Aong transport and Flood protetion Project (MTFP) August 2004

fB IDA No 3448 - VN)


- Using compressed sand columns

- Build foundation on floor of reinforced concrete columns

Control acidification of earth and water in 29 - When digging for earth, only dig surface earth, must not touch deep level

potential sulfate soil earth

- If using sulfate soil to cover road foundation, must cover the soil with a layer

of sand or non-acidified soil

- Establish drainage sewers to drain acidified water to salted water a[cas.

IV. Minimiize ecological impacts

.-\qualic hiological svstems 30 Must not let wastewater from construction workers living areas and consru t(ion sites

flow directly to river, streams or channels

31 Reduce the height difference between the mouth of sewer and river surface to ensure

smooth flows

V. NMinimize social impacts

RAP - Resettlement and Area clearance Plan 32 - Minimize the number of household to be removed as constructing alternative 1

road during new bridge construction

- The compensation for resettlement must follow internationally accepted

principles, especially the standards of resettlement by WB and current

regulations of the Central and local governments

Creating jobs for those who lose land for '33 - Create job opportunities for people. Use as much as possible local u %orkforce

production during the construction of roads.

- Guide local people in providing services for the construction site: husbandry,

Constructor has to sufficiently perform all methods of minimizing of environmentalimpacts as discussed in section m of this report.

Limitation and constructor's responsibilities who won the contract include:

- Doing job and all activities in construction sites or outside followed the law and otherregulations of environment.

- Carry out monitoring according to the requests of state management offices.

- In the case soil, stone or debris or mud from construction site is mixed into soilaround, entrepreneur has to reject them and restore effected areas to initial status as engineer'srequests.

- Avoid adverse effects from water polluted (include ground water) caused by waterused for reducing dust, thus waste water needs to collect into filter-bed to deposit specificsubstances, after that water can be recycled.

- Protect all currents, drainage canals, lakes from the contamination, sedimentation,flood caused by project's operations.

- Submit details of temporal drainage system (includes surface drainage, rubbishcollecting places, collecting holes) in order to engineer inspects before starting.

I * A\t all the routes. in building stage, especially in urban and crowvlded areas such asLong A,n, 'ien GiclGang, Kien Giang, air pollution, noise, vibration are the serioLus problcms.These impacts are adverse, especially for construction sites close to the historical, cultural andreligious buildings However, these are short-term and local impacts, and they can beminimized by suitable technical methods or management as well.

In this stage, some support activities for construction such as exploiting sand, soil,stone, will cause a great number of environmental problems. According to Vietnam Standard,

| these activities will have to carry out specific EIA research which is done by construction orexploiting companies after winning the contract to provide materials for project.

| * In operating stage of routes after rehabilitation, adverse effects are mainly fromincreasing transported flow so that it increasingly causes the raising of air pollution, noise,

* vibration and traffic accidents.

- Pollution caused by poisonous gases: SO2, CO, VOC, NO, from motor vehicles at theI routes of project needs to be considered and has controlling and minimizing methods in orderto avoid bad effects on inhabitants who live and work along the routes.

3 - Noise and vibration will be considerable problems, and especially when distance fromroutes to residential areas is only 10 - 20 m.

| - Traffic accidents from increasing the number of motor vehicles and speed exceedingof them may be higher at first if traffic management is not good. On the contrary, rehabilitationI (with improvement of road sign system) may be a good condition to reduce accident.

Aiming to minimize the adverse effects of project, an environmental management plan| was proposed with major contents as follows:

* Implementing program of clearing the ground and resettlement so that it is| conformable to reason and sentiment in order to stabilize inhabitant's life affected by clearing

and moving for building new bridges. These programs include policies of compensation,building resettlement sites which have suitable infrastructure and long-term support plans.

* Carrying out the methods to effectively control contamination:

- Prevent noise, vibration at the working sites and cultural, historical, religious sitesclose to construction areas by the techniical methods as discussec.I. Mekong transport and Flood protetion Project (M TFP) August 2004It(WB IDA No 3448 - VN)

I CONCLUSION

Base on analyzing and evaluating the impacts of WB3 project - highway rehabilitation3 project to environmental resources in the project area enable pointing out some conclusions andsugoestions as follows:

| The project has significant socio-economic benefit. Besides, project considerablycontributes to improve transportation in certain areas, increase more opportunities of finding

job, strongly induce development of service and trade in region and improve standard of livingfor inhabitants settled along the road.

| The area which road goes through has enormous areas for cultivating: rice field, garden,many cultural and religious building such as school, hospital, pagoda, temple, church,cemetery..., thus the environmental and socio-economic impacts need to be consideredI properly. Project will have no direct effects on world-wild and forest by road re-widen.However, building new bridges along the road causes some direct impacts to agricultural areas3 and inhabitant's houses. Therefore, project management will especially care aboutenvironmental management in clearing the ground and building stages.

| Project's implementation can cause adverse effects on environmental quality. Despitepolluted level is not so high, effects on environment are in low level, sphere of influence issmall, but entrepreneur will strictly implement methods to control pollution as discussed

-aiming to keep the content of pollutants is lower than those in Vietnam Standard-.

3 Negative influences will be considered include:

+ Pollution from dust and exhausts in both building and using stages.

+ Noise and vibration from the equipments

| + Pollution from waste water

+ Pollution caused by solid waste in the clearing the ground and building stage and3 rubbish from worker's camp.

+ Traffic jams and traffic accidents

ADDENDUM 1:I

ASSESSMENT OF THE POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OFTHE PROJECT

1. Identification of potential impacts of the project

The Mekong transport and Flood protection Project upgrading some provincial roads in theSouthern provinces of Vietnam will play a very important role in development of the TransportSystem in Southem parts of Vietnam. It will certainly promote the policy of industrializationand modernization of the Government of Vietnam in the coming decades as well as create agreat opportunity for urbanisation, proper change in land use and overall socio-economicdevelopment of the zones. It will also promote international trade and relation betweenprovinces in the greater Mekong Sub-region (GMS).

Beside the great beneficial impacts, the project can product complex negative impacts on theenvironment. However, the project will not involve in construction of new highways, but onlyupgrade the existing roads, the environmental impacts are expected to be not serious. The

potential environmental impacts are identified as follows:

-2. - Impacts associated with road rehabilitation activities

Some impacts to the environment:

- Temporary hindrance in transportation activities on the route due to piles ofconstruction materials and operation of construction equipment.

- Air pollution from construction sites, construction material exploitation sites,asphalt plant and from transport of construction materials, consequently affect the surroundingresidents' health, their cultural and historical sites.

- Noise and vibration pollution produced by construction equipment consequentlyaffect the residents' health, and historical sites.

- Landscape disfiguration by embankments, fills and quarries

- .Soil and water pollution by oil, grease from construction equipment and asphaltpliants

Encroachment on agricultural, industrial and residential lands

Landuse patterns

Based on the information/data provided by the People Committees of the provinces in theproject's section, at present, land along the Road sections is mainly agricultural and residential.

Only in the Dong Nai, Tay Ninh, Binh Duong integrated rubber plantation.

Paddy fields, single and double crops per year are dominant. In the west site, at high elevationplanted ecalyptus, acacia forest and upland crops are developed. There are some residentialsites along this Sub-section (Phung Hiep town, Long Phu town, Cay Duong town...). Length ofconcentrated residential sites along the road occupies about 15% of the whole length of theSub-section.

Population density is low.

The dominant landuse pattern is paddy field (1-2 crop per year), banana, coconut and nipa palmare commonly found along the road. No industrial parks are located nearby the road.

Potential impacts on land

3 F Loss in land

This project will not involve in construction of new road, but only rehabilitate the existingroads, therefore, area of land to be taken will not be large. However, in some of the Sub-sections, a certain area of agricultural and residential lands will be encroached by theconstruicted new bridge. Therefore, change in lalduse may create some negative impacts on theaffected households.

Socio-economiiic impacts by encroachment on the present landuse

T he major socio-economic negative impacts are identified as follows.

I Reduction in agricultural and aquacultural land

Reduction in residential land

I Relocation of houses sites

Although the total loss in incomes of the province will not be high, but may cause a great socio-economic impact to the affected households. Most of families in these sub-sections have loweducation and they can not work in other sectors, excepted for agriculture and aquaculture.

The relocation of existing houses, shops commercial land and residential land will cause thefollowing socio-economic consequences.

Encroachment on historical and cultural sites.

Sub-Section Soc Trang: 1 school and 1 church built in the recent decades sparsely distributedalong the road

Sub-Section Tien Giang: 2 schools, 1 church, 1 heroes cemetery built in the recent decades.

Sub-Section Long An: 2 buddhist pagodas, churches built along the road.

Sub-Section Tay Ninh: 2 schools built along and adjacent to the road corridor.

Sub-Section Dong Nai: 7 schools, 2 churchs and 1 buddhist pagoda built along and adjacent tothe road corridor.

Sub-Section Dong Thap: 6 schools, 1 church and 1 buddhist pagoda built along and adjacentto the road corridor.

Sub-Section Tra Vinh: 3 schools built along and adjacent to the road corridor.

Sub-Section Dong Nai 2: 6 schools, I church, 1 buddhist pagoda and one small cemetery builtadjacent to the road corridor.

Sub-Section Binh Duong: 2 schools and one heroes cemetery built adjacent to the road corridor.

Sub-Section Hau Giang: various schools buil along and adjacent to the road corridor.

LSub-Section Kien Giang: some churchs, various Buddhist pagodas, temples, schools and oneheroes cemetery may be partly affected by the project

From above mentioned information it is necessary to indicate that, near by the road proposed tobe upgraded there are many historicail, religious and cultural sites, particularly at the sub-

sectionis Kieni Gaiang. Dong Nai, Dong [hap.... Flxcepted for a mirriber of graves, and somiieareas of sclhools, all historical and culturai sites are located outside of the designed roadcorridor. Therefore, the pr-oject will nIot direct/l damagef tlese sites.

Although all historical sites are not located in the designed road corridor and will not berelocated or destroyed but they will be affected for the following reasons:

- Increase of transportation and population in the area, this may affect thepeacefulness, local way of life and tradition in the areas of pagodas, temples, tourism. etc...I - Air pollution, vibration and noise pollution during the construction and operationphases of the project, which may affect on stability of the historical buildings

Indirect socio-economic impacts of the project's location (positive impacts)

Overall impacts

One of the indirect impacts of the project is increase of land value.

With this positive impact, life of a large part of the households, economic branches and evenaffected households that provided land for the project will have opportunity to be improved.This is main reason why people in provinces strongly supports this project.

Population changes

Population changes, resulting from land use changes along routes of project. The changes inpopulation would result in agricultural sectors to decline and increase in other sectors such asservice and industry.

Enhancement of woman roles in the Society

The project will not specially focus on the roles of local women in the society. Ilowever, withthe expected economic improvement created by the project, participation of women intoprovincial socio-economy and public activities will be promoted. Their opportunities ineduc.ation, culture and employment will be significantly created by the transport development.

Impacts associated with the road and bridge rehabilitation and construction

During the construction phase (upgrading of the existing road) the following potential

environmental impacts are expected.

- Temporary hindrance of transportation on the routes.

- Impacts on air quality, making air pollution at the construction and surrounding

sites.

- Noise and vibration pollution caused by earthwork equipment.

- Air, noise and vibration pollution will be most heavy at the construction sites in

urban areas (Can Tho, Dong Nai, Binh Duong).

- Impacts created by workers concentration, making environmental pollution.

Impacts created by bridge upgrading and culverts construction makingenvironmental pollution and hindrance of waterway transport.

- Impacts created by construction material exploitation.

- Impacts caused by earthwork in acid sulphate soil and saline soil areas, particularly

at the sub-sections Kien Giang, Soc Trang, Tra Vinh (TL 911) and Long An makingacidification or salinisation on the surrounding environment. This is a special issue of theproject.

All above idlentJified enivironlmential imipacts are assessed as nlegative critdt significant. However,

'Ihe main negative impacts are assessed as follows:

Mekong transport and Flood protetion Project (MTFP) August 2004(WB IDA No 3448 - VN)

II


Impacts on air quality

| In the construction phase air pollution is produced by the following sources: dust (totalsuspended particulates,TSP), toxic gases (SO2, NO,, CO, volatile organic compounds VOC,3 lead) from construction equipment and earth works.

It is expected that during road rehabilitation work the following construction equipment willproduce air pollutants: trucks, compactors, pile drivers, Jackhammer and drills, generators,I asphalt heating equipment, trucks transporting construction materials and concrete processingstations.

| As most of the equipment use gasoline as fuel, they will produce particulate matter, SO, NOx,VOC and lead into the air.

The major air pollutant in construction phase will be dust produced by earth works (digging,excavation, filling, leveling road and embankment construction), particularly in the dry season.The affected receptors are area surrounding the construction sites, as well as houses, cultural,religious buildings located in a distance of about 200m from the construction site.

Noise and vibration impacts during the construction phase

Noise impact

Particularly, along main roads in urban centres such as Phung Hiep town, Cay Duong town,Long Phu town... they are always significantly higher than the standards.-Constructionactivities will contribute noise pollution at the construction and surrounding sites.

During the construction phase noise pollution may be caused by:

Construction equipment

Concrete mixing site

Pile driving for bridges construction

Rock blasting and drilling

Earth moving activity, and

Generators

Vehicles used for material transport.

l


In the constrictioni area, the equiptmient will produlce high noise level, which badly effect on

health of construction workers who will work nearby the genierator. 7'ihis iMpact i s assessed (is

niegative lbit onily local, ant1d temporary, duie to hnigh sounidi level may be racpidly reduced in a

slhort dlistance to residential ar-eas.

From the above information it is clear that residential area in rural area at the project' s sub-sections may get only slight noise impact from construction equipment. However, in urbanareas, particularly city centres, population area located near by the route and in the temples,pagodas, churches, schools located within 100 - 300m, depending on the type of constructionequipment, in distance from construction sites, noise impact will be significant. Therefore,effective measures for noise control, such as enclosures and barriers, should be recommended.

| Vibration impact

During construction, the major potential vibration sources are pile driving and blasting.

The main types of construction pile driving are presented below.

- Linked sheet piles of 7.5 to 5 meters length with U-shape cross section are hammered tothe desired depth to form a linked steel panel, an 8-ton drop hammer with energy input of 48KJ can produce vibration of 12.9 mm/s at distance of 10 m.

I- Sheet piling operation silt bed at an energy input of 30 KJ may produce vibration of4.30 mm/s at distance of 10 m.

Diesel hammer on clay bed can produce vibration of 7 mm/s at a distance of 10 m.

In order to protect cultural sites (Buddhist pagodas, temples, Churches, schools, hospital,historical sites...) the maximum vibration of < 2 mm/s is required. To protect structures locatedin a 7 m distance is recommended for wooden floor buildings on clay, and 12 to 16 m on silt. Itis safe to separate pile driving operation in case of the location from historic sites by at least 30-40 m on clay and 45 m on silt bed.

IImpacts caused by embankments construction

Embankments proposed along the alignment in the Tra Vinh should have suitable heights toeliminate flood problem.

TI'he soils from which embankments to be constructed will be sourced along the alignment fromcut slope excavation, from local borrow pits and( from other areas.

In case of soil excavation in the acid sulphate soils (ASS) areas, wlich occur commonly in thesub-sections Long An, Tra Vinh (TL 91 1). Kien Gilang and Soc Trang, acidification may becreated when pyrite (FeS2 ) containing layer in the subsoils will be exposed to the oxidizingaction of air, water and chemosynthetic bacteria. The reaction is as follows:

2FeS2 + 2H2 0 + 702 ----- > 2FeSO4 + 2H,SO4

2FeSO4 + 02 + 2H2 S04 ----- > 2Fe(SO4,) + 2H,O

FeSO4 + 6H20 ----- > 2Fe(OH)3 + 3H2S04

At higher pH pyrite can be oxidized in the presence of ferric iron:

FeS2 + 14Fe-+ + 8H20 ----- > 15 Fe2+ + 2SO42- + 16H+

The conversion of ferrous sulphate to ferric sulphate occurs very slowly below pH 4, but israpid in the presence of microbial catalysts such as iron-oxidizing bacteria, which can increasethe rate of oxidation a million-fold.

According to an EPC-NEDECO EIA Study for the WB's Project of Rehabilitation of the InlandWaterway Transport in the Mekong delta (1999)26 from Im3 of severe ASS 20-60 moles of acidmay be created when it will be exposed to the air and water

Run-off water may transport acidic materials to rivers, canals or ponds causing wateracidification. With high acidity (low pH) shrimp and fish can be killed.

Due to almost all digged soils will be used for road embankment construction and will becovered by sand, stones, asphalt concrete, acidic materials will not greatly leak into rice fields,aqnacultural ponds and rivers. Therefore, the impact of acidification caused by excavation ofacid sulphate soils on water quality in the sub-sections Tra Vinh, Long An, Soc Ti-ang and KienGiang will not be a serious problem. However, various proper measures for acidificationprevention, control and monitoring are needed to be prepared.

Road embankment construction will produce other impacts on the environment, e.g. influenceon drainage, landscape disfiguration, air pollution and noise pollution. These impacts arediscussed in other sections.

Potentiail impacts dnnl'iig brilge conistr-luctiotn o/lic ialitual environment

- Air, noise and vibration pollution

Because around the bridge construction sites in a diameter of 300 m there are permanent

houses, air, noise and vibration created by construction equipment (trucks. pile drivings,

bulldozers, etc.) will evidently affected on health of local people and buildings.

- Impact oni hydrology of the river

Bridge construction at this site will not significantly impact on hydrology of the river, due to:

. Cross sections of the bridge pillars are not wide, they will not hinder river flow.

. It is expected that bridge construction would not damage structures of the river banks and

would not cause erosion or sedimentation of the river.

However, according to the project design, elevation of road embankment was calculated based

on long-term hydrological data, to ensure that upstream headwater levels would not be

increased by the proposed new road formation levels. On the another hand, the project will

upgrade the existing culverts and build various additional culverts at places required to relieve

water flow. Therefore, hindrance of water flow and creation of inundation by the project will

not be a problem at all the sub-sections.

- -Impacts on water quality and aquatic ecosystems -

The negative impacts of digging activities on water quality and aquatic ecosystem are as follows:

+ Disturbance of habitats leads to migration of fish, and shrimp out of the construction area.

+ Causing water pollution due to increasing of turbidity, suspended solids (SS), organic matter

from bottom sediment, reducing of dissolved oxygen (DO) and ability of photosynthesis ofalgae and aquatic vegetation.

+ Causing water pollution due to wastes, grease and oil from dredgeries, lead to damalge impact3on aquatic life.

+ lemnporary change of bottom structure, deterioration and change of composition of benthicI .Inli alii s.

+ 'IThe combination of these impacts may cleterioraite the aquatic ecosystem in the river, leads topossibly redluce biodiversity as well as local fishery.Mekong transport and Flood protetion Project (MTFP) August 2004

Impacts associated with worker concentration

During the construction phase at various sites a number of construction workers will beconcentrated.

With activities of workers at the sites the following impacts may be produced.

Environmental pollution

Environmental pollution will be a problem at the camping sites, where domestic waste will becreated.

Average amounts of wastes to be daily produced by a group of 100 workers is estimated asfollows:

3 - Daily domestic wastewater

Volume: 10 m3

Pollution load to be discharged into the environment

3 Total solids: 20 kg

BOD: 4.5 kg

I COD: 8.5 kg

Grease and oil: 2.0 kg

lI~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


|kcause at the constrmction sites sanitary facilities e.g. waste collection system, are expectled tobe poor. domestic waste from labour camps, containing high amounlts of organic matter andbacteria. This will make pollution to the local water sources (rivers, grotnd water) and soils,affecting on water quality for domestic use. This may also damage areas, particularly if labourcamps will be located near by historical and populated sites.

Im ~~~Possible transmission of infections diseases from workers to local population and versa

In the construction areas communicable diseases, such as water-born diseases (diarrhoea,dysentery, cholera, typhoid fever...), vector-bom diseases (malaria,...) are still common. In the5 | conditions of low sanitary conditions and daily contact between local peoples and constructionworkers, infections diseases may be transmitted from workers to local people and vice versa.This phenomena was occurred in various construction sites in developing countries. Therefore,it is expected that transmission of infections diseases will occur in the construction sites if noeffective measures will be adopted. This will affect health of workers and local peoples.

Conflict between construction workers and local people

In some countries, conflicts between the construction workers and local people may be causedby the following reasons:

* o Difference in customs and traditions

> Difference in income

-> -Encroachment of workers to historical, traditional sites and customs of local- people.

This problem will or will not be realized, depending on effectiveness of educational progr.imsof the PMU and local authorities. From experiences of other projects, it can be shown that theconflicts will not happen if workers will have adequate education. In the cases of properpropaganda and education this type of conflicts may not happen.

From above estimation, it is expected that activity of construction vehicles will affect passenger| buses, cars and other transport means during the road construction phase

Normal traffic will be affected also by piles of sands, stones and other construction materials atroad upgrading sites.

T he above-expected impacts are assessed as significant. Hlowever, it will only he temporary, notserious and may be mitigated by a proper organisation of construction works.

* 3. Impacts associated with operation phase

In the operation plhase (after completion of the road rehalbilitation) the following negative3 environmental impacts are expected.

_ Increased air pollution by particulate matters (dust), SO,, NO,, VOC and lead and noise,3 vibration pollution, due to increased monitorized transport. Transportation air, noise, vibrationpollution will be produced to cause health hazard to people living along the roads and tobuildings facilities, historical sites located nearby the roads.

* Soil and road embankment erosion from hindrance of water on the elevated road.

* > Water and soil pollution created by fuel exhausted from vehicles.

> Increased (or decreased) accidents due to improvement of the road and increased number orvehicles, motorbikes and velocity.

* In the operation phase, traffic accident may be increased at all sections of this project. The mainreasons are:

* - Increase of traffic density

- Increase of vehicle's velocity

- No road across bridges wrill be constructed.3 - Traffic regulation is not strictly followed by drivers as well as local people

- Inadequate transport inspection by police.

| This impact will be significant, but may be mitigated by several measures proposed in ChapterFive.

| > Induced development, causing positive socio-economic impacts but negative environmentalimpacts.

- | > Increased inundation in some areas caused by hindrance from risen roads pavement

' Increased traffic accidents

| Increased of inducted development may produce several environmental problems.

During operation phase, increase in commercial, industrial, resettlement activities at placesalong the upgrading roads will take place. This will produce more environmental pollution, andU encroachment on protected areas, which will directly impact on local natural ecosystems,biological resource and human health.
