THE AGREEMENT was signed on 27 April 2017, between MRB and TPF GETINSA EUROESTUDIOS, S.L., hereinafter, PMS2.

3. The Consultant PMS2 mobilization started on 15 May 2018.The National Environmental Specialist (NES)was mobilized since 14 June 2018 and the International Environmental Specialist (IES)was mobilized on 25 June 2018 1 . Since then, NES is mobilized permanently, full time and IES was mobilized again in January 2019 and currently in August 2019.

B. SCOPE OF THE REPORT

4. This report, named Semi-Annual Environmental Monitoring Report (SEMR), presents the results of the environmental management performance of monitoring activities developed by involved agents during the period January to June 20192. It’s the third SEMR prepared by PMS2 to inform MRB and ADB about this subject.

5. This SEMR is in line with the Terms of Reference (TOR)of the Consultant’s PMS2 contract. The report documents the implementation of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) 3 specifications and Contractors Environmental Management Plans (CEMP) of civil work packages currently under activity, which reflects the specifications contained in the previous Environmental Management Plan (EMP) prepared for the Detail Design (DD) document.

6. The report was mainly prepared through reviewing the Monthly Progress Reports prepared from January to June 2019 by the Project Implementation Consultant, PIC (no specific environmental monitoring report was prepared by PIC, and specific Environmental Monthly Reports (EMR) and Environmental Quarterly Reports (EQR) for the first semester 2019 prepared by PMS2. As well, site visits were carried out monthly by a National Specialist and on 14 August 2019, jointly by both National and International Specialists of the PMS2. The observations are also considered in the content of the report.

7. Finally, some meetings for coordination activities were held between PMS2 environmental specialists, MRB technical staff and ADB environmental expert.

1Implementation commenced in 2010 with initial works on the depot, while PMS Phase 1 (IDOM) was mobilized from April 2014 to September 2015. During the absence of PMS (after September 2015), a national environmental consultant mobilized by ADB supported MRB in environmental monitoring and its reporting.

2The last environmental monitoring report which covers the period from July to December 2018 has been disclosed on ADB website since May 2019.

IV. AGENTS’ ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT

A. INCORPORATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS INTO PROJECT CONTRACTUAL ARRANGEMENTS. CEMPs

20. The EMP which is part of the EIA was included in the biding documents of five civil contractors (CP-01, CP-02, CP-03, CP-04 and CP-05). They were required to prepare Contractor’s EMP (CEMP) for detailing their mitigation action plans based on the EMP, to address construction impacts specific to site conditions. The CEMPs of CP-01, CP-02, CP-03, CP-04 and CP-05 were approved prior to construction start, as follows:

21. Contractors for Packages CP-06 to CP-09, although they were not requested to prepare their specific CEMP, they need to implement main basic environmental protection measures, according to the approved EIA, Vietnamese regulations and ADB Policy.

B. CONTRACTOR’S ENVIRONMENTAL AND SAFETY SPECIALISTS MOBILIZATION

22. The key personnel mobilization in each contractor’s staff, regarding to Health, Safety and Environment(HSE) matters, is described as follows and summarized inTable 5. This information was updated in the end of June 2019.

23. The contractors established HSE management units in charge of environment and safety to ensure implementation of the CEMP, in the first semester of 2018. Site inspections for safety issues are conducted daily by safety engineers of contractors; the contractors have always at least one safety engineer on site during construction time. All environmental and safety staff of contractors have been trained on HSE course and have certificates on labor safety supervision issued by authorized agencies such as Safety Training – Inspection – Environmental Survey JSC and Solution Safety and Health Co., Ltd.

Station Section)


24. In the table it may be observed that Packages CP02 and CP03 have one staff for environmental matters aside from one Safety Manager. Packages CP01, CP05, CP07 and CP08 keep mobilizing since June 2019 one manager for three subjects (Health, Safety and Environment). PMS2 considers that this is enough, as CP01 is near completion, and other packages are developed also in well limited and restricted areas. As well, no significant environmental impacts have happened in these packages. Therefore, PMS2 considers that, according to the current progress of the works and the scale of the pending works, one HSE Manager for each of these packages can develop the supervision of the three matters. CP04 has already finished works and CP06 is mainly developing design works and activities, carried out in France, so currently no staff on site. Regarding CP03, it’s noted that the contractor mobilized a specialist for environmental matters in Q2 2019.

C. OTHER AGENCIES’ SPECIALISTS MOBILIZATION

25. Project Implementation Consultant (PIC) has assigned one international HSE specialist, already mobilized when PMS2 started works in May 2018, in charge of these three matters (HSE) and for all packages under PIC supervision. However, in view of large and long construction site (about 12 km) and very strict requirements on safety, the specialist focused mainly on safety issues, with less attention to EMP compliance monitoring and reporting. In previous SEMRs, PMS2 recommended that PIC should mobilize a specific environmental specialist.

26. Regrettably, not only the recommendation was not assumed but also the HSE Manager was demobilized in February 2019.It means that during almost the whole semester (after February to June 2019), PIC had no specialized staff for any of these three subjects. PMS2 considers this fact not acceptable as Health-Safety and Environment are essential part of the implementation of a project during the construction phase.

27. Regarding this important non-compliance with PIC’s responsibility, it has to be also pointed out that during the preparation of this report, August 2019, it was not informed the mobilization of a new HSE.

28. Ha Noi Metro Railway Board (MRB)assigned an experienced environmental specialist as the specific officer for environmental management since April to December 2017. This officer has conducted regular site inspections, reviewed environmental reports prepared by contractors, PIC and other all tasks related to environmental and safety issues. However, since December 2017, MRB has no specialist for environment, health and safety issues, although there is one engineer in charge of the coordination with PMS2 for these subjects. PMS2 acts in fact as Client’s direct support, as requested by MRB, being in charge of environmental matters.

29. Project Management Support consultant, Phase 2 (PMS2), which contract was signed in May 2018, has mobilized full time a NES by middle June 2018. Until June 2019, this specialist continues developing his duties. As well, the IES was mobilized to arrange and coordinate the works for a first period by end of June 2018 to prepare the SEMR No.1, for a second period by January 2019 to prepare the corresponding SEMR No.2 and currently for a third period in August 2019.

30. The External Specialist was also mobilized on 27 June 2018 and prepared an Independent Environmental Verification Report (IEVR No.1) that was submitted and approved by MRB. After the resignation of this specialist, due to private matters, a new one was proposed to MRB and he was evaluated for approval. While drafting this report, ADB expressed no objection to the proposal and MRB issued its approval. It’s scheduled that the independent specialist may be mobilized in September 2019 to prepare the IEVR No.2 (covering the period from July 2018 to September 2019) (See item “External Expert” of Table 6).

V. INSTITUTIONAL SETUP AND RESPONSIBILITIES FOR EMP IMPLEMENTATION AND SUPERVISION

A. INSTITUTIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES FOR ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT ASSESSMENT

31. The roles and responsibilities of the different project stakeholders in EMP implementation and monitoring are described in Table 6, as well as a brief assessment of the compliance with each of them.

- MRB, through its Project Management Support Consultant (PMS2), inspects weekly or bi-weekly all main construction sites to verify if the EMPs are in fact being implemented accordingly with the specifications.

- The results of those inspections and from the review of the documentation generated by PIC are submitted to MRB through monthly reports.

Establish a grievance redress mechanism (GRM) as described in the EIA. Establish an Environmental Management Unit (EMU) staffed by qualified and experienced environmental officer and occupational health and safety officer.

Partially complied with, as the GRM has not been approved yet. A Grievance, Receiving, Screening and Settling Unit (GRSSU) was established at the MRB per Decision No.63/QD-DSDT-VP dated 22 May 2017. A draft final GRM has been developed in consultation with ADB and submitted to HPC for clearance and approval on 3 July 2017. After that, the GRM document was submitted to Department of Justice for review and consideration. While preparing this report MRB confirmed that Department of Justice agreed with the GRM and that it was again sent to HPC for final approval. In August 2018, HPC submitted a letter to MRB including some comments regarding this GRM proposed, requesting clarification. In October 2018, MRB convened a meeting with HPC in order to explain and discuss those comments. After that, HPC drafts a Guideline “For entities performing redress grievances of organizations, individuals relating to the implementation of Hanoi Pilot Light Metro Line Project, section Nhon – Hanoi railway station” with some corrections to the previous draft of GRM and resubmits to MRB. MRB submits the draft to ADB for review, by mail, on 3 June 2019. On 10 July 2019, ADB sent back the document with some comments for its update. Currently, MRB is updating the draft guideline considering the comments received from ADB and other related agencies and will resubmit it to HPC for final approval.



Station Section)





As of August 2019, the GRM is not yet approved by HPC. An EMU has not been established, but MRB has signed a contract with an experienced environmental specialist in April 2017, in charge of environment and safety issues at MRB. This specialist stopped working by end of 2017.MRB has not been assigning an qualified and experienced environmental officer since December 2017. Since the mobilization of support consultant’s environmental specialists by middle June 2018, PMS2 has been requested by MRB to take in charge this responsibility and assume MRB’s environmental duties. Currently, PMS2 is developing this task through a continuous cooperation with MRB staff in charge of environmental coordination. Therefore, it may be considered that the tasks of the EMU are being developed.

Undertake monitoring of the implementation of the EMP (mitigation and monitoring measures) with assistance from PIC.

Undertake environmental effects monitoring during pre-construction and construction phases for depot, viaduct and tunnel components

Not satisfactory complied with After the last change in the contract of PIC on 21 March 2014, the Supervision Consultant does not take responsibility to implement the effect monitoring program. PMS2 does not consider or value this change in PIC’s contract but considers that it’s a non-compliance with its duties as a construction supervision consultant. Since January 2019 and especially in August 2019, PMS2, in coordination with MRB, is trying to change this situation. In this line of action, in August 2019 and following MRB instructions after PMS2 proposed it, a specific report was prepared with detailed instructions for PIC to carry out and report environmental supervision on site. This report is included in this SEMR as Appendix 5.

Undertake environmental training for EMU, HRB/PMU staff as required in the EMP

Not complied with PIC did not undertake environmental training for EMU, MRB staff as required in the EMP. Developed activities with other parties were as follows: - training in class for site inspectors. - monitored CP02, CP03, CP05 and CP08 HIV and Gender mainstreaming training. - monitored CP08 HSE Induction.

Monitor the environmental performance of contractors in terms of implementation of mitigation measures for pre-construction and construction phase as specified in the EMP. Monitor over-all implementation of various EMP provisions. Review and approve the specific environmental management plans (e.g., Spoils Disposal Plan, Dust Control Plan, Noise Control Plan, etc.) to be prepared by contractors as specified in the EMP.

Being Complied with PIC carries out daily site inspections in term of contractor’s mitigation measures implementation, even at night when it’s needed, reviews and revises contractor’s monthly internal monitoring reports incorporated with a checklist on EMP implementation. CEMP of all contractors were already approved before ending 2017. However, as no information about the daily activities are included in the monthly progress reports, works on site may not be verified.

Prepare monthly environmental monitoring reports on EMP implementation.

Not complied with. There has been no HSE specialist under PIC since February 2019. This semester, PIC did not prepare any environmental monitoring report on EMP implementation as requested since PMS2 began its works. The environmental information provided by PIC in the Monthly Progress Report does not reflect environmental monitoring works. PIC includes a short section regarding environmental management in their monthly progress reports, for each construction package. The section shows only some comments about environmental subjects but not the level of compliance with each CEMP. Therefore, the content of this section is considered not enough at all as complete information from the Supervision Consultant. Even, it was observed that the content of this section is absolutely similar in all the 6 reports of the semester. This reported information is included in this SEMR as Appendix 4.

Support consultant,

Phase 2 (PMS2)

Ensure that the PIC is implementing its responsibilities specified in the EMP such as conduct of environmental effects monitoring; monitoring of environmental performance of contractors; implementation of environmental training for EMU, HRB/PMU staff; over-all monitoring of EMP implementation; and preparation of monthly environmental monitoring reports for submission to HRB Assist HRB/PMU/EMU in preparing semi-annual environmental monitoring reports for submission to ADB. The semi-annual reports shall be based on the monthly reports prepared by the PIC as well as PMSC’s own observations/inspections to assess progress of EMP implementation during pre-construction and construction phases.

Being Complied with Current PMS Consultant for Phase 2 was mobilized in May 2018. The mobilization of the NES was approved to start by 14 June 2018 and the mobilization of the IES has started on 25 June 2018.Therefore, this condition is being complied since middle June 2018, after the approval by MRB for the mobilization of the specialists. PMS2 began to prepare Monthly and Quarterly Environmental reports, gathering information about compliance with the CEMP and giving support to MRB regarding improvements that should be implemented. PMS2 assesses the PIC’s performance of their duties. In this sense, we already informed in our reports that the PIC is not carrying out monitoring works and is not preparing specific environmental monthly reports

Review and approval of specific environmental management plans prepared by contractors prior to commencement of site works.

Complied with The PIC has taken responsibility for these tasks. CEMPs of contractors were all already approved before the commencement of PMS2 works (see Table 4).

Implement and provide sufficient funding and human resources for proper and timely implementation of required mitigation measures in the EMP for pre-construction and construction phases Prior to start of site works, prepare environmental management action plans in the form of specific management plans (Dust and Noise Control Plan, Spoils Disposal Plan, Traffic Management Plan, etc.) specified in the EMP. Such plans shall be submitted to the PSC for approval.

Partially Complied with4 All contractors have mobilized a responsible for environment, health and safety matters, according to the specification in the EIA. But approved CEMPs include a specific Environmental Manager or Officer or Specialist. So that, only CP02 and CP03 have officially (CP03, in fact) mobilized a specific Environmental Manager as well.

- CP05. Monitoring activities in May 2019 (semi-annual monitoring).

According to the specifications of the EIA, all parameters should be monitored each 3 months except groundwater quality monitoring during tunnel construction (not yet begun) that should be carried out monthly. It means that only CP03 complies with the specification in the EIA. New Regulation in Vietnam states that environmental quality parameters must be monitored bimonthly. PMS2 informed contractors about this fact. The results of analytics obtained are included in this report as Appendix 3.

Undertake land subsidence and settlement monitoring program specified in the EMP during the pre-construction and construction phase (TBM contractor only) and submit monthly reports to PIC and HRB/PMU/EMU

External Expert

Undertake independent annual reviews to verify the monitoring information submitted by HPC/HRB to ADB on the implementation of the environmental management plan (EMP). The external expert shall also assess if various EMP provisions are being implemented as required. Review and verify the accuracy, breadth, depth, and relevance of information provided by HRB to ADB with regard to EMP implementation. Determine if EMP provisions (mitigation, monitoring, reporting, etc.) are being conducted in thorough and timely manner and in accordance with budget identified within the EMP. Submit environmental monitoring report to ADB and HPC.

Partially Complied with - The mobilization of external expert for

the preparation of IEVR (for the period after July 2018) under PMS2 was not mobilized until September 2019. This unexpected event was due to the resignation of the previous expert and the difficulties to find a National expert with the requested experience and for a contract of only one month per year. These difficulties were explained to MRB and ADB since July 2019.

- The commencement of the preparation of IEVR (for the period after July 2018) did not start until September 2019, and submission has been delayed significantly. The main reason for this delay is that the process to approve a new expert has not been agile: difficult to find an experienced specialist who give compliance to the specifications in the TOR and slow decision making after PMS2’s proposal as it was needed two steps for approval, MRB and ADB.

The new external expert of PMS2 started his mobilization on 2 July 2018 and has prepared the Independent Environmental Verification Report (IEVR) for the period March 2017 to



Station Section)





June 2018, which was already approved by MRB and ADB. Next mobilization of the External Environmental Specialist is expected to in September 2019, in order to prepare the IEVR for the period July 2018 to June 2019. The delay in the mobilization is due to the resignation of the External Specialist and the difficulties to recruit a national specialist for one month per year and with 15 years of experience. In July 2019 PMS2 proposed MRB a new specialist. He has enough experience in ODA projects, but he does not reach 15 years of experience. Therefore, the case was carefully analyzed and also presented to ADB. After receiving communication from ADB with the no objection to this proposal and the subsequent final approval from MRB, the consultant was mobilized in September 2019.

33. MRB had assigned an experienced environmental officer to conduct environmental and safety issues monitoring and review the environmental report submitted by the contractors and PIC since April 2017 to the end of 2017. However, since December 2017 until June 2019, MRB has no specialist for any of both subjects. MRB commissioned PMS2 to be in charge of this matter, acting in its name.

PIC (SYSTRA)

Monthly environmental monitoring reports on environmental performance of contractors.

MRB Not complied with During the first semester 2019, PIC continued preparing monthly reports on Project quality and progress in which only a short section on health, safety and environment was included and it did not include any substantive environmental information. Furthermore, the content of this section is more or less the same each monthly report, so that, it doesn’t provide enough detailed information about the daily HSE management on site (see Appendix 4 in this SEMR No.3). It has to be mentioned that PIC does not prepare any specific monthly report about environmental issues: impacts, assessment of compliances with CEMP, implemented corrective measures, etc., as it may be inferred from the terms of its contract and as it is a common practice in other similar projects while construction phase. PMS2 proposed MRB to increase the transfer of information from Supervision Consultant (PIC) to MRB, with monthly frequency, through a specific environmental monitoring report, detailing the results of all related activities, including the results of specific site inspections. During the second semester 2018 this suggestion was not implemented, although PMS2 and MRB began to



Station Section)




analyze the PIC’s responsibilities in its contract to find the best solution as soon as possible. While preparing this SEMR, PMS2 prepared a specific report for MRB detailing a proposal to improve PIC’s performance, including an outline of the content of the environmental reports that PIC should prepare with monthly frequency.

Quarterly reports on results of environmental quality monitoring

MRB Not complied with CENMA (who carried out environmental effect monitoring) prepared quarterly environmental quality monitoring reports from Sep 2012 to Feb 2015. Since November 2015, contractors have been preparing semi-annual environmental quality monitoring reports. The environmental quality monitoring reports prepared before PMS2 starts works were undertaken in December 2017 by four contractors (CP01, CP02, CP03 and CP05). PIC reviewed these reports and issued No Objection to the reports. It means that the PIC didn’t prepare a report, just indicated “No Objection”. During the first semester of 2018 there was no available information about any monitoring activity on site and it was not received by PMS2 any report with new data of the analysis of environmental parameters. During the second semester 2018 and the first semester 2019, PMS2 collected directly from contractors the reports with the results of the monitoring activities.

approved by MRB, reviewed and approved by ADB and also posted in ADB’s website. This third SEMR of PMS2 is currently being drafted for review and approval and it will be submitted to MRB and ADB by end of September 2019.

MRB Semi-annual Environmental Monitoring Report (SEMR)

ADB Being complied with Since PMS2 started its works, 2 environmental reports were semi-annually prepared and approved. A SEMR No.3 is currently being drafted and will be submitted to ADB for review and approval (see previous paragraph) after being approved by MRB.

Independent Environmental Verification Report (IEVR)

ADB Being complied with After the new PMS2 started works, a NES was mobilized to prepare the IEVR for the period March 2017-June 2018, which has been submitted and approved by ADB. Next mobilization of the External Environmental Specialist it’s scheduled to happen by middle September 2019, in order to prepare the IEVR for the period July 2018 to June 2019, it means annually, as stated in the contract of PMS2. The delay in the mobilization is due to the resignation of the External Specialist and the difficulties to recruit a national specialist for one month per year and with 15 years of experience.

Contractors Not defined MRB Partially complied with Compliance preparing monthly internal environmental and safety monitoring reports, reviewed by PIC and then submitted to MRB. The exception for this compliance is related with the frequency of the environmental effect monitoring reports, different to the specification in the EIA for CP05, as it was commented above in Table 7. Regarding the frequency of the environmental quality monitoring activities, while the EIA 2009 requires daily (archaeological relics), weekly (traffic), monthly (groundwater quality

for tunnel construction) or quarterly monitoring for the rest of parameters and packages, the new Regulation in Vietnam - Circular 24/TT/BTNMT issued on 01 September 2017 by MONRE, specifies that they must be carried out each 2 months. MRB was informed about this change in the National Law, on 29 August 2018, while PMS2 was taking contact with the project, reviewing the existing information, procedures and documents, after the specialists were mobilized to start works. According to this fact, PMS2 proposed MRB to increase the frequency of the analytics to give compliance to the new Regulation. Until now, August 2019, no action was taken by contractors and the frequency remains as in the previous semester.

Partially complied with The GRM has not been approved yet A draft final GRM has been developed in consultation with ADB and submitted to HPC for clearance and approval on 3 July 2017. After that, the GRM document was submitted to Department of Justice for review and consideration. While preparing this report MRB confirmed that Department of Justice agreed with the GRM and that it was again sent to HPC for final approval. In August 2018 HPC submitted a letter to MRB including some comments regarding this GRM proposed, requesting clarification. In October 2018 it was convened by MRB a meeting with HPC in order to explain and discuss those comments. After that, HPC drafts a Guideline “For entities performing redress grievances of organizations, individuals relating to the implementation of Hanoi Pilot Light Metro Line Project, section Nhon – Hanoi railway station” with some corrections to the previous draft of GRM and resubmits to MRB. MRB submits the draft to ADB for review, by mail, on 3rd June 2019. On July 10, 2019, ADB sent back the document with some comments for its update. Currently, MRB is updating the draft guideline considering the comments received from ADB and other related agencies and will resubmit it to HPC for final approval.

VII. TASKS CARRIED OUT BY THE PMS2 DURING THE PERIOD

42. Since the beginning of the mobilization of the PMS2 environmental specialists (NES by 14 June 2018 and IES by 27 June 2018), several different tasks were carried out in the framework of the duties of the contract. In addition to the daily work collecting documentation and analyzing it, first works were focused to achieve a general comprehension of the project and the different involved agents.

43. Since the beginning of PMS2 works, visits to site were carried out, usually with weekly or bi-weekly frequency. As well, the IES inspected sites in January 2019, while preparing the SEMR No.2.The second site visit, useful for the SEMR No.3. was not conducted by the IES until August 2019, which is out of the coverage period but it’s the way to verify the situation on site after the whole assessed period. As well, it has to be mentioned that the SEMR covers the period from 1st January to 30th June, so the report cannot be prepared until PIC submits PMS2 their monthly report for June and this report is submitted, obviously, in July.

44. The tasks carried out and works developed by the PMS2 environmental specialists during the period of this report (1stsemester 2019) are shown below in Table 9.

VIII. COMPLIANCE WITH EMP. ENVIRONMENTAL MAIN FINDINGS

A. COMPLIANCE WITH EMP

46. In August 2019, the Environmental Specialists of PMS2 analyzed the environmental situation on site during the first semester 2019 as a last check for this report. As well, PMS2 reviewed the documents and reports submitted by the PIC, that are the main source of information for MRB and, therefore, for PMS2. Table 12presents the results of this work and the compliances/non-compliances of Contractors with the approved EMP included in the EIA.

47. As PMS2 is a management support consultant for the client, MRB, we depend on the information provided by the PIC to MRB. As it’s explained along this SEMR No.3 and in previous reports, PIC do not provide any information regarding the compliance or no compliance with the EMP or even the CEMPs.

48. Therefore, and until the new reporting system is implemented by PIC following PMS2 proposal and MRB instructions, the assessment of the compliance with the EMP has to be considered just with information directly collected by PMS2 from contractors and after periodical site visits.

C. SOIL DISPOSAL AREAS

54. The information and status of foreseen and approved disposal places of the project is presented inTable 14.

55. It has to be mentioned that a problem arose regarding the available disposal places for CP03 and, therefore, a letter explaining the situation was addressed by PMS2 to MRB on January 11, 2019.

56. According to the reference: i) “Item 1.2 Total Bill of Package, section 6.3 Bill of Quantities and Price Centers, Contract Package – HPLML/CP03”, total surplus material from structure excavation is 624,321.21 m3.

57. But total surplus material which is estimated by Contractor CP03 is about 896,190.10 m3 in which Underground stations, Ramp and Emergency Shaft is 727,061.47 m3 and Tunnel is 160,928.63 m3 and Thu Le Lake road is 8,200.00 m3.

58. The Contractor CP03 has proposed 2 disposal areas with total receiving capacity is 1,749,585.00 m3 in which Van Noi disposal area is 349,766.00 m3 and Nguyen Khe disposal area is 1,399,819.00 m3.

59. However, actually Van Noi disposal area is no longer available to receive more surplus soils and Nguyen Khe disposal area is used for many projects in Hanoi and its capacity is also near to be finished. Currently, the information from Nguyen Khe disposal area owner indicate that the remaining capacity of this disposal area is 865,710.00 m3 but it is expected to be quickly filled with many projects that are using this disposal area to dispose their own surplus while the remaining surplus soil volume of package CP03 is very big.

60. It’s essential to look for other disposal areas to ensure that all the surplus material of the project is properly disposed in authorized locations but until now, no mere actions were taken regarding this issue.

61. It’s noted that the permit to dispose unsuitable material in the disposal place which is registered by contractor CP05 – HANCORP has expired on December 31, 2016. For unsuitable material disposal plan in the future, the contractor HANCORP must find and submit documentation of new disposal area to PIC for review and approval. Up to now, excavated material is deposited directly on site, beside the excavation and it will be reused to fill the foundations. After those works, remaining soil must be disposed in a location already approved at that moment.

62. It is also suggested that the excavation work only could continue if the PIC grants Statement of No Objection (SONO) to the action plan of contractor in order to manage this material.

On 23 May 2019, MRB submitted the completed report to ADB.On 28 May 2019, a meeting was arranged between parties to discuss about the report. ADB agreed with the report and the issue may be considered closed.

64. The BCS report identifies the current condition of buildings which are considered will be impacted by construction works of underground section. It consists in photographic records. Its purpose is to be useful to compare in case of relevant grievances during construction period.

E. INCIDENT RECORD

65. No incident was reported by PIC in January, February, May and June 2019.

66. On 21 March 2019, in package CP03, during the lowering of a re-bar cage into the excavated D Wall panel at 22:15 hrs, a pulley assembly which is part of the lifting equipment configuration for the rebar cage fell approximately 6m to the ground; this incident was due to Human error and not mechanical failure. The activity was routine and part of the normal procedure to remove shackles as the cage is lowered, however during this lift one of the signal men holding one side of the wire rope attached to the pulley slipped and released the wire rope causing the weight of the pulley to pull to the opposite side falling towards the ground. This is usually prevented by using the correct method of connecting the two ends of wire by means of a shackle.

67. No Injuries were sustained as a result of the incident. The lift was performed after sunset and delayed from the previous schedule therefore the lifting team had worked on to complete the lift which resulted in a 15-hour shift. HGU Deputy PM went to S9 at approximately 23.00 to carry out initial investigation.

68. HGU did not follow procedure and therefore PIC was not informed officially until the following day at 09.00.

69. On 21 March 2019, HGU sub-contractor FECON was using a crane to move equipment at station 10 without working permission. Unloaded crane started to swing around without retracting the boom and then the hook assembly struck the hotel exterior causing damage to the concrete next to a window on the fifth floor of Pullman Hotel.

70. It’s agreed that the Pullman Hotel shall repair the damage by itself and all the reparation cost shall be charged to the contractor.

71. Copy of the specific report is included in this SEMR asAppendix 6.

72. On 12 April 2019, aluminum bar dropped to pick up truck’s roof at Nhue Bridge (under CP01). The truck roof got a 5cm long scratch but no human injury. The contractor has smoothly settled this incident with the truck driver under the witness of Public Security of North Tu Lien District, Hanoi city.

F. ISSUES FROM PREVIOUS REPORT(S)

73. The evolution of some issues happened since PMS2 started the works and that were reflected in previous SEMRs is now reflected in this chapter, either because new observations are related with previous situations or because previous issues were being solved, totally or partially, during the semester of reference of this SEMR.

74. It has to be remarked one issue that in the previous SEMRs was highlighted: the mobilization by the PIC of HSE Manager, in charge of all safety, health and environment



Station Section)


matters. Since the beginning of PMS2 works in June 2018, PMS2 considered that in fact this HSE Manager was specialized in health and safety, not in environment. The lack of environmental information and assessments provided by the PIC in its reports confirmed that appreciation.

75. As well, and related with that issue, it has to be remarked the lack of detailed information in the PIC’s monthly reports. In fact, PIC did not prepare any specific HSE monthly report so far (until June 2019). PIC is the supervision consultant on site and MRB (and subsequently PMS2) depends on this supervision to receive appropriate and detailed information about what is happening daily in the construction areas.

76. MRB-PMS2 considers essential that PIC strengthen its supervision works by weekly inspections on site and reporting to MRB-PMS2, by collecting all environmental information from contractors, by assessing the status of environmental conditions on site, and detailing the measures to be taken in case of impacts. All these reinforced activities, also, need to be included in reports. MRB-PMS2 requests that PIC prepares specific environmental, health and safety reports, although some main comments could be included in the general monthly progress reports. So that, MRB (and consequently its support consultant) will be periodically informed about environmental situation on site, status of complaints, affections detected by PIC, measures implemented, results of analytics, etc.).

77. PIC’s HSE Manager was demobilized in February 2019. It means that during almost the whole first semester 2019, PIC had no specialized staff for any of these three subjects. PMS2 considers this fact not acceptable as Health-Safety and Environment are essential part of the implementation of a project during the construction phase.

78. PMS2 insists, for a full compliance of the duties of a supervision consultant company and for a project with the features and difficulties that this presents, in the recommendation that the PIC mobilizes as soon as possible specific environmental and health-safety specialists or a HSE Manager and environmental and health-safety officers to support HSE Manager in these subjects.

79. There is no new information about any proposal of additional disposal sites for unsuitable materials. Contractor for CP03 is requested to give attention to this issue as soon as possible.

80. The status of all the issues raised in the previous SEMR is summarized in Table 15.

Table 15. Status of the Issues raised in the previous SEMR

Issues Targets/Solutions Remark

CP03 did not mobilize officially any Environmental Manager (EM)

After review the contract and discuss with the stakeholders, EM of CP03 is not key personnel, therefore, this position must not be officially submitted and approved by PIC or MRB

The contractor has mobilized a qualified EM in HSE team to control the environmental issue during implementing the construction work

MRB did not mobilize any Environmental Specialist

MRB shall make a proposal to HPC for approval to mobilize this personnel

Expected in early of 2020

The GRM has not yet been formally approved by HPC

MRB needs to try to speed up the process to get the final approval from HPC

As soon as possible

No training to EMU of MRB was carried out since 2013. A proposal for a training plan and its content was already submitted to MRB for

PMS2 will develop training activities with MRB staff who is involved in environmental matters.

Issues Targets/Solutions Remark consideration but it’s not yet approved

It’s needed that MRB approves the proposed training plan and/or suggest any change in its content

PIC does not prepare Environmental Monthly Reports. Environmental information contained in its Monthly Progress Reports does not include enough and detailed information about the events happened on site and are not enough assessed

PIC should be requested to give compliance to its duties through specific environmental monthly reports, that must include detailed information and assessment about the daily events happened on site and recorded after each inspection, as well as collect and assess the environmental activities and management developed by each contractor

Immediately

Environmental Effect Monitoring results are not included in PIC’s reports

PIC must include the EEM results of the contractors in their report with the assessment

Immediately. EEM data should be included in the Environmental Monthly Reports to be prepared by the PIC, as requested

At Ramp zone, it’s noted that there are some signs of erosion happened and sediment was swept into the lake because of the Contractor CP03 didn’t apply the storm water, erosion and sedimentation control measures as statement in its approved CEMP, especially, in rainy season.

The Contractor has surrounded the impacted area with sand bags to prevent tracking of soil or other material offsite. The mitigation measure is acceptable in this dry season, from October until April next year.

No impact observed

It’s noted that the permit for the unsuitable material disposal place which is registered by contractor CP05 – HANCORP has expired. Up to now, excavated material is deposited directly on site, beside the excavation and it will be reused to fill the foundations. After those works, remaining soil must be disposed in a location already approved at that moment.

The soil for back fill and unsuitable soil must be separated and managed with correspondent measures as stated in Item 6.3 Waste management procedure of its approved CEMP.

For unsuitable material disposal plan in the future, the contractor HANCORP must find and submit documentation of new disposal area to PIC for review.

It is also suggested that the excavation work only could continue if the PIC grants SONO to the action plan of contractor in order to manage this material.

Before the Contractor has to remove useless soil from site. It’s recommended to speed up the search of a new disposal site as the process to get the approval needs a quite long time.

At Stations 1 and 2 it’s noted that there is no standard mobile toilet provided for workers.

Separated and sanitary toilets must been provided for female and male workers

No improvement in this semester/Immediately

PCR risk assessment has not been initiated, regarding the possible affection to Temple of Literature due to the construction of Station 11.

PCR Risk Assessment and Management Plan must be drafted by contractor CP03 and the consultation with relevant stakeholders (Hanoi DCST, Management Units of impacted heritages) must be implemented

As soon as possible, any case, before starting the construction works

watered the surface of these area to ensure that the dust emission is minimized

@Depot: the maintenance area was not equipped with drainage leading to an oil-water separator. CP05 contractor explained that they didn’t construct settling/retention pond for treatment of wastewater, because there are no concrete batch plants at the construction site. It’s not clear if the effluent from the site meets the national technical standard for industrial wastewater, because the result of water quality monitoring is not reported in the SEMRs;

The wastewater treatment system for the maintenance area has been constructed and completed by contractor CP04 before handing over to the contractor CP05. The result of surface water monitoring indicated that all the monitored parameters are under the threshold in Vietnam technical regulation of surface water quality

@Depot: there are opening ditch holes with contaminated stagnant water inside which can be breeding sites for mosquitoes. There was no fencing around the holes, and this can create a falling hazard to the workers as well. CP05 contractor explained that the holes were left open by CP04 contractor and CP05 contractor is not responsible for covering the holes.

All the opening ditch holes have been covered and fenced surrounding to ensure the safety for workers

IX. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PLAN

A. Monitoring Plan and Responsibilities

83. PMS2 prepared the Environmental Monitoring Plan (EMoP) to be implemented by PMS2 and submitted to the MRB in the middle July 2018 for approval.

84. By the plan, the first Environmental Monitoring work should be implemented in the 3rd quarter 2018, but it was not implemented as it has to be previously approved by MRB and ADB. This EMoP will be implemented by PMS2 during the next 4 years. The plan was prepared mainly considering the specifications contained in the Terms of Reference of the support consultant’s contract and also according to the current situation on site and the expected progress of the works.

85. After some discussions regarding the content of this plan and the certifications that the sub-consultant should have, by letter dated 31 October 2018, MRB communicated the approval of the EMoP. PMS2, on 6 November 2018, submitted MRB a letter with the proposal for the sub-consultant in charge of the implementation of the monitoring works. By letter dated on 16 November 2018, MRB accepted the sub-consultant in charge of EMoP implementation. On 20 December 2018 MRB submitted the documentation related with the EMoP to ADB for review and approval. ADB addressed a letter dated 17 January 2019



Station Section)


indicating ADB’s No Objection to adjustment of the EMoP under PMS2 Contract. Therefore, the plan could not be implemented during the second semester of 2018, as expected.

86. The Plan was not implemented during the first semester 2019 due to financial complications for the transfer of payments to PMS2.

87. As well, this plan may be modified when the conditions on site recommend it. In such case, PMS2 will propose MRB the changes to improve the efficiency of the environmental quality control.

88. During the third quarter 2018, Contractors were implementing the environmental monitoring as per stated in approved CEMPs, except CP03. The Contractor’s Environmental Monitoring Reports have been submitted to the MRB and PIC. Having reviewed the requirements for environmental monitoring during construction phase in the EIA approved by MONRE in 2009 (Vietnamese EIA 2009), chapter IX, subchapter B and current related regulation of DONRE, it’s noted that the environmental monitoring work of the Contractors do not satisfy these requirements. For CP03, PIC stated that there is no continuous Environmental Monitoring performed during Contiguous Bored Pile in its monthly reports; PIC also requested the CP03 to comply with its approved CEMP.

89. A proposal has been submitted to the MRB on 29 August 2018 to suggest that the environmental monitoring work of the Contractors should be complied with the Vietnamese EIA 2009 as well as the current regulation of MONRE, in particularly Circular no. 24/2017/TT-BTNMT dated 01 September 2017 on Environmental Monitoring Techniques of MONRE. Environmental Monitoring Program in Monthly Environmental Monitoring Report of PMS2 which was submitted to the MRB on 17 September 2018.

90. During the fourth quarter 2018, regarding the environmental monitoring works that is covered by PMS2, due to the application of new regulation on environmental monitoring techniques, Circular 24/2017/TT-BTNMT, a proposal to modify environmental monitoring frequency and remove some unnecessary parameters has been prepared and submitted to MRB for review and approval.

91. First semester 2019. Currently, June 2019, this proposal has received No Objection from ADB and, subsequently, was approved by MRB.

92. For the environmental monitoring works that are under contractors responsibility, they have been implemented by CP03 and CP05, in frequency as per stated in approved CEMPs, however, it’s noted that the environmental monitoring frequencies are not uniformed between the Contractors and these frequencies do not comply with the Vietnamese EIA 2009 and with the new regulation on environmental monitoring techniques of MONRE, Circular 24/2017/TT-BTNMT.

93. CP02 has stopped its monitoring activities as main works along the elevated section are already finished.

94. According to the approved CEMPs, the environmental monitoring frequency of CP03 is once per quarter for all the monitored parameters; and for CP05, it states to monitor only noise at two locations once each month. However, actually, contractor CP05 is carrying the environmental monitoring work for noise, vibration, surface water quality and ambient air quality with frequency of once every 6 months.

B. Result of Environmental Effect Monitoring8

8 ADB’s Safeguard policy requires that when the host country regulations differ from internationally recognized standards such as the WB Group’s EHS Guidelines, the borrower/client will achieve whichever is more stringent. Therefore, from the next SEMR, the assessment of environmental monitored results shall be made against the WB EHS Guideline to comply with ADB’s Safeguard Policy



Station Section)


95. Environmental monitoring work under contractors’ implementation. It has been implemented in frequency as per stated in approved CEMPs; however, it’s noted that the environmental monitoring frequencies are not uniform between the Contractors and the frequencies do not give compliance to the Vietnamese EIA 2009 and new regulation on environmental monitoring techniques of MONRE, Circular 24/2017/TT-BTNMT. It means that the CEMPs do not reflect what it was stated in the Vietnamese EIA 2009 about this matter.

96. According to the approved CEMPs, the environmental monitoring frequency of CP03 is once per quarter for all the monitored parameters; and for CP05, it states to monitor only noise at two locations once each month. However, actually, contractor CP05 is carrying the environmental monitoring work for noise, vibration, surface water quality and ambient air quality with frequency of once every 6 months. CP01 and CP02 did not carry out any monitoring activity during the semester.

97. CP05:

1. Noise monitoring: noise measurement was carried out during the period from 8h to 22h. All the noise monitoring results shall be compared with National standard of Vietnam QCVN 26:2010/BTNMT for common areas, that points out a period of measurement rather different, from 6h to 21h. All the data measured (Laeq) at all positions are lower than the level stipulated on regulation (please see Appendix 3 for detailed information about noise levels in each location).

2. Vibration monitoring: All vibration acceleration at the observation location are below level stipulated on National standard of Vietnam QCVN 27:2010/BTNMT.

3. The air environment: monitoring results in majority of monitoring locations are lower than the limit values specified in National standard of Vietnam QCVN05: 2013/BTNMT.

4. Surface water: The results of surface water quality monitoring shows that all parameters analyzed are Lower than the limit value permitted under QCVN 08-MT: 2015 /BTNMT column B1.

98. CP03:

- 1st quarter: 1. Noise monitoring: Noise measurement time ranging was from 6h to 22h. All the

noise monitoring results shall be compared with Vietnam Technical regulation on Noise QCVN 26:2010/BTNMT for common areas, that points out a period of measurement rather different, from 6h to 21h. Some specific data that were measured for one hour are higher than threshold stipulated on regulation and the highest level is 75.9 dBA measured in location K1 from 10h00 – 11h00 in the first quarter; however, other measurements taken at all locations are lower than the level stipulated on regulation and the average results indicated that they are lower than threshold stipulated at all positions. At several timelines, noise values are over standard value caused by the high numbers of public vehicles involved in the traffic.

2. Vibration monitoring: All vibration measurements at the observation locations are below level stipulated on National standard of Vietnam QCVN27: 2010/BTNMT.

3. The air environment: Monitoring results in all of monitoring locations are lower than the limit values specified in National standard of Vietnam QCVN05: 2013/BTNMT

4. Surface water: The concentration of the analyzed parameters in the surface water samples are within the limit set in QCVN 08-MT:20l5/BTNMT, column B2.

5. Soil quality: All analyzed parameter are meet in line with National Technical Regulation on Soil quality QCVN 03-MT:20l5/BTNMT.



Station Section)


- 2nd quarter: 1. Noise monitoring: Noise measurement time ranging from 6h to 22h. All the noise

monitoring results shall be compared with Vietnam Technical regulation on Noise QCVN 26:2010/BTNMT for the common area from 6h to 21h. Most of the data were measured at all positions that are lower than the level stipulated on regulation, there is only one sample measured from 12h to 13h higher than threshold stipulated (70.7 dBA) in position K2. Noise value is over standard value caused by the high numbers of public vehicles involved in traffic.

2. Vibration monitoring: All vibration measurements at the observation locations are below level stipulated on National standard of Vietnam QCVN 27:20 1 O/BTNMT.

3. The air environment: Monitoring results in all of monitoring locations are lower than the limit values specified in National standard of Vietnam QCVN05: 2013/BTNMT.

4. Surface water: The concentration of the analyzed parameters in the surface water samples are within the limit set in QCVN 08-MT:2015/BTNMT, column B2.

5. Soil quality: All analyzed parameter are met in line with National Technical Regulation on Soil quality QCVN 03-MT:2015/BTNMT.

The environmental monitoring results from all monitoring samples which have been implemented by the contractors are detailed presented in Appendix 3.

✓ Currently, MRB is updating the draft guideline considering the comments received from ADB and other related agencies and will resubmit it to HPC for final approval.

✓ At the end of the period of this report, June 2019, the GRM was not yet approved by HPC. While preparing this SEMR in August 2019, the GRM is not yet finally approved.

105. Description of the GRSSU objectives, procedures and components is already included in the SEMR No.1, for its consultancy.

D. STATUS OF RESOLUTION OF COMPLAINTS

106. PIC, according to the duties of a construction supervision consultant, is in charge of the follow up of the complaints received from affected local people, households affected by the construction activities and any matter related with the project implementation. Therefore, PMS2 requested PIC to provide updated information about the status of the processes to solve the pending complaints. Currently, PIC did not provide in its monthly reports any new information about pending complaints.

107. Regarding PMS2 information, during the first quarter 2019 we didn’t receive any information about new complaints.

108. The information collected during the second quarter includes also some complaints happened in the first quarter.



Station Section)


109. In March 2019, MRB has visited the construction site of road underneath Access Bridge to Depot of CP01 and received grievances on house cracking due vibration during carrying out construction work in this area, road no. 70, Tay Tuu ward, Bac Tu Liem district. The affected houses are vicinity of the construction site which include the houses of Nguyen Dang Chien, Dang Thi Doan Huong, Đinh Van Su, Dinh Van Vien, Pham Thi Duyen, Pham Quang Trung, Ta Xuan Luan, Bui Van Truong, Nguyen Khac Phuong.

110. In order to ensure the safety of affected people, quality and progress of the construction package, MRB issued letter No 440/ĐSĐT-DA1 on March 8, 2019 to request Daelim Contractor and Systra Consultant to implement the following tasks: (i) recheck the construction method and offer the solutions for safety assurance during construction to completely avoid collapse of the affected houses and (ii) check and evaluate the damages caused by the construction work (if any) and to compensate the damaged properties as per the contract regulations and law regulations.

111. Right after receiving MRB’s letter No 440/ĐSĐT-DA1, Daelim Contractor has immediately adjusted the method of compaction to prevent any potential damages to residents’ properties. At the same time, Daelim has been carrying out the crack investigation in residents’ houses at the construction site of Road underneath the Access Bridge to Depot and working closely with the local authorities (Tay Tuu CPC) on the present issue.

112. On 10 May 2019, MRB issued letter 945/ĐSĐT-VP-DA1 to propose Bac Tu Liem DPC and Tay Tuu CPC to redefine the origin of land use and the origin of houses built on land of AHs in order that MRB could use it as a legal basis to reply to AHs and redress the people’s house cracking grievance following the legal regulations. A meeting between Tay Tuu CPC, MRB and the contractor CP01 has been arranged on 20 June 2019 to plan in order to solve this matter. It’s expected to hold a meeting with the affected households in early of July 2019.

113. Up to date, the total number of households eligible to resettlement allocation is 127 (21 in Depot & Access Line and 106 in CP03). Out of 127 households eligible for land plots or resettlement apartment allocations of the whole project, 115 households have received land plots or resettlement apartments, the remaining 12 households have not yet received them. All of these 12 households belong to Package CP03.

114. Relating to 21 households affected by Phase 2 - Depot and Access Line, issue that was commented in the SEMR No.2, Bac Tu Liem District has already allocated all of them for resettlement plots in Xuan Phuong RS. Infrastructure, electric and potable water system in Xuan Phuong RS are adequate, near schools and not far from their acquired land. So, their lives are not much affected by the project.

117. Regarding HSE training of contractors during the first quarter 2019, it has to be mentioned that:

Contractor for CP01, CP06, CP07 and CP08 have not developed any activity, although it must be stated that CP01 has finished main works and CP06 is developing design works at office in France.

Contractor for package CP02 stopped these activities in January. Contractor for package CP03 developed training sessions at office all months. Contractor for package CP05 carried out training sessions at office in January

and in March.

118. Regarding HSE training of contractors during the second quarter 2019, the activities were as follows:

Contractor for CP01, CP02, CP05, CP06, CP07 and CP08 have not developed any activity, although it must be stated that CP01 has finished main works and CP06 is developing design works at office in France.

Contractor for CP03 conducted several training sessions at office in April and May, stopping this activity on 31st May.

119. PIC’s training activities during the semester, according to the content of the Monthly Progress Reports, were as follows (same every month and same previous semester):

Table 20. PIC's training activities. 1st semester 2019

MONTH ACTVITIES January - SYSTRA training in class of site inspectors

Note: It’s not well understood the meaning of “monitored” as a PIC’s own training activity.

120. According to the duties of the PMS2, expressed in the contract, classroom and on the job training of MRB staff is an integral part of its consultancy. So that, the IES will provide a training course for staff of MRB and other agencies through invitation of MRB if the EA considers so.

121. The courses will give staff a basic understanding and technical knowledge about environmental impact and protection, to be able to understand the implications of environmental matters arising during construction and implementation of the project.

122. PMS2 suggests that, although no specific environmental staff is currently mobilized in MRB, basic courses should be given to civil engineers, inspectors on site, etc., about environment related subjects such as impact of construction works, environmental protection measures, climate change, etc.

123. Regarding the training activities which will be developed by the PMS2, a Training Plan was prepared by the PMS2, to be implemented by the IES. This plan was submitted to MRB for approval by middle December 2018. This plan included both training in class and on site, over 2-3 mornings.

124. It was expected that the seminar was given during the mobilization of the IES in August 2019 but previously, in June, MRB instructed PMS2 to change the content of this first training activity and prepare a short one focused in the environmental situation in this project and in the policies and regulations that must be complied. In July it was submitted to MRB a first proposal and a final one in August, with some little changes in the content. As Appendix 7it’s included in this SEMR No.3 copy of the official letter with the content of the new proposed seminar.

125. While this report was being prepared, the seminar was conducted. It’s expected that for the next mobilization of the IES, the first proposed seminar could be conducted.

XII. CONCLUSION



Station Section)


126. As this report is a summary report of the activities performed by all agents involved in the project during the period of reference of the SEMR, conclusions are distributed in each chapter for each item.

127. As it has been mentioned along the report, it has to be remarked as an essential conditioning for the content of this SEMR, the lack of detailed information in the PIC’s monthly reports. PIC is the supervision consultant on site and MRB-PMS2 depends on this supervision to receive appropriate and detailed information about what is happening daily in the construction areas. The solution of this issue is pending since PMS2 started its works in June 2018.

128. Main findings and operation problems identified during the first semester 2019, recommended actions and proposed deadline for final solution are now summarized in Table 21. MRB, organization for which PMS2 was contracted for support management, has been continually informed, by letter and through our environmental monthly reports, about those findings and recommendations.

129. To correct the environmental issues that arise during carrying out construction work, in the weekly meetings with the contractors MRB has requested and reminded the contractors to implement the appropriate mitigation measures which have been stated in EMP and approved CEMPs. PIC also was requested to instruct and supervise the corrective action of the contractors.





Table 21.Summary of main identified issues and actions required

Issues Targets/Solutions Proposed Issue Closed date

1. MRB hasn't established EMU

MRB is proposing to HPC to agree to mobilize an environmental staff and establish EMU inside MRB arrangement

MRB expected that HPC shall agree with MRB’s proposal hence MRB can establish EMU in early next year

2. PIC did not mobilize any Environmental or HSE Manager since February 2019

Mobilize him when received the approval from MRB.

If a HSE Manager is mobilized, also an environmental specialist should be mobilized as support.

Immediate

3. Contractor’s mobilization of an Environmental Manager or Specialist

All contractors have mobilized a responsible for HSE, but approved CEMPs include the duty to mobilize a specific Environmental Manager or Officer or Specialist as well. Only CP02 and CP03 have officially (CP03, in fact) mobilized a specific Environmental Manager.

- Proposal to cover this position: 15 Oct 2019

- Approval: 10 days after

- Mobilization: 15 days after approval

4. The GRM has not yet been formally approved by HPC. However, all the grievances including environmental grievances are managed and followed by GRSSU.

MRB needs to speed up the update of the GRM according to HPC review, to get the final approval from HPC.

the GRM logbook is available in MRB and the contractors’ office.

All the environmental grievances are handled with the procedure of (i) grievance receive, (ii) contact the stakeholders, (iii) grievance investigation, (iv) making an agreement between the stakeholders on the grievance redress, (v) grievance redress implementation, and (vi) closing the grievance.

5. No training to EMU of MRB was carried out since 2013.

Proposals for two different training seminars to be conducted by PMS2 and their content were already submitted to MRB for consideration.

PMS2 will develop training activities with MRB staff who is involved in environmental matters and other technical staff working in the project.

By July-August 2019 a first plan was approved

Expected to be done in August 2019, when the IES of PMS2 will be mobilized

6. PIC did not develop any training activity with MRB or HRB staff, as required in the EMP

PIC is required to carry out its duties in this matter, preparing a training plan and submitting it to MRB for approval and later implementation

Before December 31, 2019. No change since June 2018



Station Section)



7. PIC does not prepare Environmental Monthly Reports to assess the contractors’ performance on CEMP implementation. Environmental information contained in its Monthly Progress Reports does not include enough and detailed information about the events happened on site and, therefore, the compliance of the works on site with the approved EMP is not assessed

PIC is requested to give compliance to its duties through specific environmental monthly reports, that must include detailed information and assessment about the daily events happened on site and recorded after each inspection, as well as collect and assess the environmental activities and management developed by each contractor

PMS2 has given direction to prepare these reports.

Immediately. No change since June 2018

The first specific environmental report should be prepared for October 2019

8. No environmental inspection was conducted by DONRE or MONRE since the commencement of the construction works

MRB should contact these agencies to offer the possibility of site visits, at least when any incident happens, or a serious problem arises

As soon as possible

9. The contractors are implementing environmental effect monitoring as the requirement in their contracts. Contractor CP05 is carrying out EEM with the frequency of every 6 months while EIA 2013 requests a frequency of every 3 months. Contractor CP03 is complying with the EEM requirement in EIA. However, there is a change of monitoring regulation (Circular 24/2017/TT-BTNMT on Environmental Monitoring Techniques) with the new monitoring frequency. The current monitoring frequency of the contractors as stated in the construction contracts did not comply with the new Regulation of Vietnam regarding the frequency of the monitoring of environmental quality parameters

New Regulation in Vietnam states that environmental quality parameters for out-door air environment and surface water environment must be monitored bimonthly. PMS2 informed contractors about this fact. Requested frequency must be implemented.

Immediate for all contractors that carry out monitoring activities according to the EIA

10. Environmental Effect Monitoring results are not

PIC has to request contractors to provide the results of their

included in PIC’s reports and not provided to PMS2 for assessment and/or verification

EEM activities, assess these results, give instructions in case of any deficiency or impact, and include the information and assessment in specific environmental monthly reports.

EEM data should be included in the Environmental Monthly Reports to be prepared by the PIC, as requested

11. Base on the contract, PMS2 shall implement the EEM but they have not initiated environmental effect monitoring since its mobilization in May 2018 due to the contract issue.

PMS2 shall coordinate with MRB to fix the contract issue to implement environmental effect monitoring work

It’s expected to initiate in January 2020

12. It’s noted that the permit for the unsuitable material disposal place which is registered by contractor CP05 – HANCORP has expired. Up to now, excavated material is deposited directly on site, beside the excavation and it will be reused to fill the foundations. After those works, remaining soil must be disposed in a location already approved at that moment.

The soil for back fill and unsuitable soil must be separated and managed with correspondent measures as stated in Item 6.3 Waste management procedure of its approved CEMP.

For unsuitable material disposal plan in the future, the contractor HANCORP must find and submit documentation of new disposal area to PIC for review.

It is also suggested that the excavation work only could continue if the PIC grants SONO to the action plan of contractor in order to manage this material.

Before the Contractor has to remove useless soil from site. It’s recommended to speed up the search of a new disposal site as the process to get the approval needs quite a long time.

13. Hazards to health and safety of workers on site. Except station 6, all the toilets for workers have been removed from construction site of elevated station (under CP02).

Until the end of June 2019, there is no improvement.

Provide separate hygienic sanitation facilities/toilets and bathing areas with sufficient water supply for male and female workers

Immediately

14. ADB requests the contractor CP03 and MRB to additionally assess all the impacted PCR along the underground section and consult with the stakeholders before carrying out the main construction work in station 11.

On 26 October 2018, a meeting has been held with participation of ADB, MRB, HGU and the Literature Temple management board.

The study and assessment were expected to start in early 2019.

On 10 June 2019 ADB sent a letter including the

Prepared, submitted to ADB, reviewed (when necessary) and finally approved always and any case, before starting the construction works at Station 11.

According to the last information, the process will finish around 15 – 30 December 2019

The fact that excavation work started in April 2019 at Station

However, the PCR risk assessment has not been initiated.

requirements for PCR report's content to MRB.

Later on, MRB held a meeting with HGU engineers to transfer this requirement. In that meeting PMS2 instructed the contractor how to prepare the report, with report outline. This report outline also was sent to ADB for consultation and ADB agreed with this outline. It was officially sent to the contractor HGU to prepare the draft report on 31 July.

In the last meeting with ADB in VRM office, the contractor informed that they shall complete the draft at the end of September, then submit it to MRB for competence agencies and public consultation.

Public consultation shall be implemented in October 2019 and the report shall be finalized in November and submitted to ADB before carrying out the construction work at Station 11.

10 before conducting PCR risk assessment jeopardizes the compliance with SPS 2009 as alerted by ADB. MRB is taking action to respond to ADB request for full compliance with SPS 2009, 2013 EIA and Mission MOU. Outcomes will be reported in the SEMR Jun-Dec 2019

15. CEMP implementation issues

CP01: There is not any available water truck on site, a dusty status was noted, for example, during ADB mission on 26 April 2019.

CP02: Except station 6, all the toilets for workers have been removed from construction site of elevated station (under CP02). Until the end of June 2019, there is no improvement.

At Station 2 a worker was observed cutting metal bars without wearing gloves. Contractor shall ensure that all workers are provided and use their PPE.

CP03: At Station 12 some workers were observed working without wearing appropriate clothes, mainly boots and helmets. They said that they have this equipment, but they don’t use because of

The contractors must strictly comply with the environmental mitigation/minimize measures as stated in their approved CEMPs and the project’s EMP

It is noted that CEMP implementation and contractors’ performance has not been regularly reported by PIC Systra in its monthly reports. MRB will look into this issue and fix the reporting arrangements through contracts with contractors, PIC and PMS2, in line with the 2013 EIA

hot. Contractor must ensure that all workers use the provided PPE.

At Station 11, demolition materials generated during the demolition of houses are disposed on the ground. Local people use these amounts as a waste disposal. All materials and debris should be removed from site.

At station 10 excavated soil which is temporary disposed on site for back filling is not covered, so that it may generate dust emissions.

CP08: Waste management must be improved.

It was observed that waste was disposed on site directly on the ground. No separation of selected waste materials. Not enough containers for waste management.

Appendix 5: INSTRUCTIONS TO PIC REGARDING ITS SUPERVISION AND REPORTING ACTIVITIES. SPECIFIC REPORT

➢ BACKGROUND

MRB, jointly with PMS2, has detected serious deficiencies in the PIC’s environmental reporting activities. These deficiencies have as a consequence that the information transfer chain from site to MRB and ADB is interrupted at PIC step. After having analyzed the problem and the regulations, the contract’s specifications and the already approved bidding documents, after received complaints from ADB environmental expert and after several working meetings to find the solution to improve this issue, MRB instructs the PIC to strengthen the development of its duties regarding environmental follow up of the works and, as well, improving the content of the periodical reports. The decisions taken have been agreed also with ADB, donor organization that requests the implementation of its Environmental Policy and procedures in this project. ➢ REFERENCES

(i) PIC Time-Based Contract and Appendix B: Reporting Requirements (ii) ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS), 2009 (iii) EMP specifications included in the approved EIA – last version 2013

(iv) The current reporting activities carried out by PIC ➢ PIC DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

According to the reference (i), the PIC’s contract specifies general and particular duties and responsibilities as follows:

1. Chapter No.3. Obligations of the Consultant:

- 3.1.1: “The Consultant shall perform the Services and carry out their obligations hereunder with all due diligence, efficiency and economy, in accordance with generally accepted professional techniques and practices and knowledge by International professional organizations in pursuant with practical conditions of the Project…”

- 3.1.2: “The Consultant shall perform and handle the Services in accordance with the applicable law…”

- 3.1.3: “Assignments of the Consultant shall include, but not limit, the assignments as specified in the Appendix A…”

2. Appendix A, chapter 4:

“In principle, the supervision shall be done following Vietnamese regulations. PIC, with the role of Supervision consultant will be responsible for:

- Quality management…” 3. Appendix B: Reporting Requirements

“The following documentations will be submitted to HRB during supervision of the project.

1. Monthly Progress Report

2. Quality Control Report 3. Safety and Environmental Report… “

According to the reference (ii), and among other defined related specifications, SPS 2009 indicates that “ADB’s project completion reports and project performance evaluation reports include review of the implementation of safeguards.”

According to the reference (iii), it’s clearly stated in the EMP that:



Station Section)


1. Table 9.8: EMP implementation responsibilities by key donors, project implementers, and agencies. Project Supervision Consultant (PSC) (=PIC): Undertake environmental effects monitoring during pre-construction and

construction phases for depot, viaduct and tunnel components. Undertake environmental training for EMU, HRB/PMU staff as required in the

EMP. Monitor the environmental performance of contractors in terms of

implementation of mitigation measures for pre-construction and construction phase as specified in the EMP.

Monitor over-all implementation of various EMP provisions.

Review and approve the specific environmental management plans (e.g., Spoils Disposal Plan, Dust Control Plan, Noise Control Plan, etc.) to be prepared by contractors as specified in the EMP.

Prepare monthly environmental monitoring reports on EMP implementation. 2. Paragraph 554 – EMP Reporting:

(i) Monthly environmental monitoring reports on environmental performance of contractors: from PSC to HRB/PMU/EMU.

(ii) Quarterly reports on results of environmental effects monitoring and compilation of results of Land Subsidence and Settlement Monitoring Program: from PSC to HRB/PMU/EMU.

According to the reference (iv), the assessment of MRB-PMS2 is clearly unsatisfactory. No specific environmental report was prepared until now and the related chapter included in the monthly progress reports has almost no information regarding the compliance with EMP nor details about the impacts, complaints, implemented measures and pending issues.

Furthermore, the content of the chapter is almost the same for every month since 2018, with same comments.

As Appendix A it’s included an example (PIC’s Monthly Progress Report for June 2019).

➢ ANALYSIS OF PIC PERFORMANCE

1. As PIC has to give compliance with the previous contractual approved documents, such as EIA, It has to be considered that all documentations mentioned in the Time-Based Contract are independent reports, as it’s clearly stated in the EMP.

2. According to ADB’s SPS 2009, paragraph number 16, project performance evaluation reports have to be prepared and have to include an assess about the compliance of the project with the safeguards.

3. Until now, PIC just included a chapter for safety and for environment in their Monthly Reports. No specific monthly and quarterly reports were prepared.

4. The content of these chapters is clearly not enough developed to consider that safety and, especially environmental matters, are well reported to MRB or any other agency or organization that may be interested in following up the construction works under this point of view.

5. There is no environmental specialist mobilized by PIC. Although it may be not specifically included in the specifications of the contract, MRB-PMS2 considers that it’s needed. All projects, national and international, during the construction phase, need the presence of, at least, an HSE Manager and an Environmental Officer to assure the compliance with the law and applicable regulations.



Station Section)


6. The duties of the PMS2 are focused in checking the results of PIC safety and environmental protection activities and assessments regarding the implementation of the CEMPs by the contractors and, as well, verify the consistency with the real situation on site. So that, all these activities: results, findings, requests to contractors, implemented measures and pending issues, need to be clearly informed by PIC through periodic reports. Until now, there is no evidence about the continuous follow up by PIC specialist of the status of implementation of the CEMPs.

7. It has to be considered, as well, the usual extended procedure in this kind of projects, mainly those under ADB funding, that includes specific environmental and safety monthly and quarterly reports for the Implementing Agency.

➢ MRB INSTRUCTIONS

1º PIC is requested to mobilize enough qualified personnel to give the best service and assure the compliance of its duties and responsibilities.

2º PIC will prepare specific reports as stated in the approved EMP (attached as Appendix C) and its time-based contract, with monthly and quarterly frequency, informing in detail about all the environmental and safety events happened or even expected to happen on site.
