EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Mong Duong 1 Thermal Power Plant project has been classified as category A1 in
accordance with ADBs Environmental Assessment Guidelines (2003). The Project EMP was
developed as an integral part of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process of the
Project that was completed and approved by ADB in 2006.
To ensure that negative environmental health and safety impacts are minimized and addressed
effectively throughout the project implementation and operational phase, an environmental
management plan (EMP) has been formulated detailing mitigation measures and a monitoring
program during various project phases of the Mong Duong 1 Thermal Power Plant project,
located in the northern province of Quang Ninh (Vietnam)
The report is highlighting on the environmental monitoring tasks and quality observations
performed by the various project entities on air & noise, vibration, water quality, aquaculture
and fishery development and a chapter on mangrove reforestation. It is further reporting on
health & safety issues at site as well as on social impacts on the affected communities including
gender issues related to man and women working together on the same project and sharing
common camp facilities.
It covers the works implemented during the period July to December 2013 and provides a
summary of current problems, conclusions and recommendations how to best mitigate the
impacts on affected parties and the environment.
The following environmental aspects were looked at for environmental compliance and
monitored for environmental quality during the reporting period
Air and noise quality

Water quality
Aquaculture and fisheries status
Mangrove reforestation
Health, Safety and Environment (HES)
Social impacts and Gender issues
Problem areas inspected for environmental compliance and monitored for environmental quality
during the reporting period relating to Air & Noise, Vibrations, Water quality and Aquaculture
were more affected in the current reporting period compared to the last 6 months period, mainly
due to the increased level of activities at the construction site or nearby locations serving the
Mong Duong project.
Air & Noise and Vibration Issues
Regarding Air Quality comparing the monitoring results (dust) of affected areas between the first
6 months in 2013 and the last 6 months of 2013, it shows that the last 6 months of 2013 has a
higher concentration of air pollutants than the 6 months before, especially in the 3 months
September, October and December 2013 when the construction activities were very high. The
increase is mostly due to increased traffic on the new No.18 and old No.18A road likewise
carrying equipment and construction materials to the site
On the new No.18 road near the entrance of Mong Duong 1 and 2 power plants, heavy vehicle
movements are the main cause of dirt and dust. Additionally intermittent rainfalls during these
months made the road muddy too. The contractor is trying hard to clean the road to improve the
conditions. The appearance of construction waste in nearby vacant land (along the new No.18
Page 5 of 70

road such as concrete from bored piles and other construction debris has improved over time
and gives a tidy look now. Wheels of construction vehicles leaving the site are cleaned before
entering the public road. Excavated areas and heaps of backfill on the site shall are sprayed with
water or covered with plastic sheeting to limit dust migration to nearby residential areas.
Through 6 monitoring times of noise quality at the working site during 2 days each in the period
July to December 2013, the monitoring results for noise at working site in all six monitoring
times, noise level monitored in 1 hours at boiler area is about 73,2 78,1 dB(A). If compared
with allowable noise levels at working places, the measured values are lower than the limited
permitted values in TCVN 3985:1999 (85 dB).
Noticeable environmental impacts during the reporting period has not only been caused by
construction activities, but also due to social environment changes caused by the gathering of the
large work force in the Mong Duong precinct which causes all sort of problems including
increased traffic, particularly in the early morning and evening time, when a large contingent of
the labor force for both projects enter the work space and accumulation of domestic waste caused
by the increase in people inhabiting the area.
In order to limit the noise level at Residential areas, particularly at night time, the Contractor has
been requested to keep heavy construction works to day times and limit vehicle movements after
10PM to a minimum required. This has been well observed by both contractors for Md1 and
MD2 power plants
Through 6 monitoring times during 2 days each in the period July to December 2013,
Monitoring results for vibration level at 2 sites during the period of 6AM 21PM are lower than
the limited value in QCVN 27:2011/BTNMT National Technical Regulations on Vibration.
Construction activities of Mong Duong 1 Thermal Power Plant are mainly implemented during
the daytime, therefore no vibration is created during the nighttime, from 21PM-6AM.
Water quality
Water quality is monitored for underground water and coastal water:
Almost all tested items of underground water at the sampling sites are within the limits of
the National technical regulation on underground water quality QCVN09/2008/BTNMT
except for (Cd) and (Cl-) content and content of micro-organisms (Coliform)
Concentration of microorganisms (Coliform) beyond permissible limits of the National
technical regulation on underground water quality were found at the sampling points of
PW-01, PW-02, PW-03, PW-04, PW-05, PW-06, PW-08, PW-09. This is explained by
the fact that water in existing wells are not frequently utilized, thus the water is not
rotated thereby easily creating conditions for microbial growing.
Concentrations of chloride (Cl-) beyond permissible limits of the National technical
regulation on underground water quality were found at the sampling points of PW-03,
GW-01-D, GW-08, GW-09 and GW-11. This is explained by the fact that the sampling
sites are located in the coastal areas, thus may be lightly saline
Impact of obstacle removal activities in coastal surface water is monitored by coastal
surface water sampling sites. Parameters of them are all within limit in comparison with
QCVN 10: 2008/BTNMT
Page 6 of 70

Impact of Mong Duong river alignment activities in coastal surface water is monitored by
coastal surface water sampling sites. Parameters of them are almost within the limit in
comparison with QCVN 08: 2008/BTNMT
Impact of transport activities in coastal surface water is monitored by coastal surface
water sampling sites. Parameters of them are within limit in comparison with QCVN 10:
2008/BTNMT
Two of the heavy water pollution sources are water discharged from coal mining areas
via the Mong Duong River and barges transporting coal in the nearby waterway.
Spilled coal from barges dilutes elements and compound to coastal waters.
In order to compensate for the two wells which were covered during the initial site fill activities,
the contractor has been requested to drill two additional wells with a depth of 25 to 30m to
ensure water quality sampling can be done at lower aquifers. This has since been completed by
the Owners own contracted agency.
Contractor must maintain all current measures to avoid pollution of surface and underground
water resources by strict control on solid and liquid waste dumping and/or accidental spillage of
oil and chemicals.
To offset the problem of the polluted water discharge from coal mining activities, treatment of
discharged water from the coal mining process and a reduction in coal smuggling activity would
greatly improve the quality in the water way, but this may be difficult to achieve.
Aquaculture and Fisheries
Based on the results of the two surveys on fishing and aquaculture activities in Thac Thay, De
Dach and Mong Duong rivers and along the coastal line of Cam Hai commune during the second
half of 2013, it can be concluded that the construction phase of Mong Duong 1 power plant has
minor impacts on the aquatic resources in the inspected areas. There were no fishing activities in
De Dach and Mong Duong rivers due to heavy industrial pollution from mining and coal trading.
Number of aquatic species and their components in these areas are very limited. Some fishing
activities were observed in the Thac Thay River and Luong Gac areas, but there are no
shrimp activities along Cam Hai coastal line due to loss from shrimp disease outbreak and
flooding. Normal fishing activities and aquaculture species are observed in the Thac Thay River
and along the coastal line of Cam Hai commune.
To reduce impacts of pollution from mining and coal trading, Contractors are requested to
strictly enforced the solid and liquid waste disposal management plan and prohibit dumping of
hazardous substances into nearby rivers and coastal water.
Mangrove Reforestation Program
To compensate for the loss of mangrove forest taken by the Mong Duong Project, 52ha of
mangrove has been re-planted in Dong Rui Commune, (Tien Yen district, QuangNinh province)
Inspection result shows that mangrove quality develops well, branching off well, in the allocated
area of 52 ha of mangrove forest which was replanted, there is 95% survival rate of plants.
Page 7 of 70

With the current achieved results, the Mangrove planting project has met the requirement of
ADBs EIA.
To sustain the good results, continuous protection and feeding of the mangrove is a must to
ensure their good development and branching off. Activities such as tree clearing, weeding and
replanting of failed areas must also be maintained
Dumping of waste in mangrove and forestry areas and resource extraction from mangroves and
plantation forestry areas must be strictly prohibited.
Mangrove reforestation in area 1 has been accepted by TPMU1 in October 2013. The area 2 has
not been accepted due to the ratio of coverage has not meet the requirement of the contract yet
and the areas of died trees needs to be regrown, so efforts need to be continued to achieve the
required results
Health & Safety and Environment
Monitoring consists of daily observation and inspections of environmental pollution, soil
contamination, fire hazards, labor and site safety and other health or safety hazards. This topic
does not belong to the monitoring scheme of the assigned environmental experts of the
Consultant, but is observed and monitored by the Owners Consultant Site supervision staff
during their daily work activities and by the Consultants Occupational Health and Safety expert.
Current results show
Good overall performance of the EPC contractors appointed HSE team with the
Environmental Officer (OE) appointed as per the Contractors EMP
Good site safety management of the EPC contractor with regards to fire safety, plant and
equipment safety, labor safety, worker training before entering working sites and access
gate checks at site entering points.
No fatality but 2 Lost Time accident occurred until now with the accumulated total manhours of 12,386,146 as of December 2013
No serious soil issues happened at site until now, besides some small oil spillages
which were treated immediately as per the Contractors EMP
Waste management follows the contractors EMP by separating waste into different
groups and collected and disposed as per the EMP requirements.
All required permits are in place ie. Permit To Work, Confined Space Entry Permits, Gas
Test Certificates etc.
First Aid service is available 24/7
In order to maintain the good standard the EPC contractor must strictly enforce the site safety,
warn offenders and in repeat cases dismiss them from site (some recent incidents shown in the
attached pictures need to be corrected)
Newly legislated and/or revised environmental laws must be carefully examined in order to
determine whether or not they are required to be implemented during the project execution
Contractor has to ensure at all times that it complies with the EIA and the requirements specified
in chapter VI of the ADB environmental assessment guidelines, 2003. Contractor should once
Page 8 of 70

every 6 months organize exercises based on likely accident scenarios at site in which the
contractors assigned key site personnel assumes their emergency response roles and
periodically evaluate the efficiency of the Project EMP in place.
Social and Gender Aspects
Most current results show that both men and women are well informed of potential health and
safety risks: HIV/AIDS control and prevention activities for both camp workers and offices were
carried out by the EPC contractor to educate awareness on personal hygiene and sexually
transmitted diseases. Drug education for construction and office workers are implemented and
undergo test screenings every 6 months for early detection and manage health issues. Camp
workers and construction office workers are vaccinated and regularly checked for diseases by
healthcare provider taking care of construction workers and local villages.
A recent audit at one of the contractors labor camp (LLM 69.1) showed excellent results. The
rooms for women are in good condition and include bath room and toilet inside. Television and
Air conditioner are also provided. Water supply is from underground well treated by RO system
before using. Water is tested frequently for its safe use.
The condition of the site toilets is good with separate toilets available for both men and women.
Currently 76 toilets are provided at the Mong Duong 1 site for some 3,000 workers. They are
cleaned daily. As per the EPC contractors information the percentage of female workers is
approximately 15% split in field and office staff.
It is suggested that the Owners Consultant will continue to perform regular audits at the
contractors labor camps, especially with regards to gender issues, at the contractors offices and
at the construction site itself, to ensure the good standard regarding sanitary conditions is
maintained throughout the project construction phase.

INTRODUCTION
1.1
The project
The Government of Viet Nam has requested assistance from the Asian Development Bank
(ADB) to part finance the construction of the Mong Duong 1 Thermal Power Plant (under Loan
No.2350, and 2610). The Project is a coal-fired, thermal power electricity generation project with
a generation capacity of 1,000 MW. The overall project comprises of two power plants on the
same plot of land with an ultimate generation capacity of 2200 MW. The Mong Duong 1 power
plant will comprise of two 500 MW generating units, and associated supporting infrastructure
whereas the Mong Duong 2 power plant built under a BOT scheme comprises of two 600 MW
generating units.
The MD1 project has been classified as category A1 in accordance with ADBs Environmental
Assessment Guidelines (2003). The EMP was developed as an integral part of the Environmental
Impact Assessment (EIA) process of the Project that was completed in 2006.
The Mong Duong 2 power plant project is not part of this report, although it may contribute to
the overall impact on the environment as the two plants are back to back located on the same
piece of land.
1.2
Incorporation of Environmental Requirements into Project Contractual

arrangements
To ensure that any possible negative environmental impacts are minimized and addressed
effectively, an environmental management plan (EMP) has been formulated detailing mitigation
measures and a monitoring program during various project phases. The individual monitoring

Figure 3.1 The results of 6 monitoring times.
Assessment of the monitoring results:

Through 6 monitoring times during 2 days each in July, August, September, October, November,
December 2013, the results show that:
- The monitoring results for average 1 hr TSP at 2 monitoring points KK1 and KK2 in the
all four monitoring times (July, August, September and October) are higher than the
limited value in QCVN05:2013/BTNMT National Technical Regulations on Ambient
Air Quality(higher than 1,05 1,63 times). Especially the 15th of August monitoring
times, the monitoring results for average 1 hr TSP at 2 monitoring points KK1 and KK2
are higher than the limited value in QCVN05:2013/BTNMT National Technical
Regulations on Ambient Air Quality (higher than 1,47 1,63 times).
- The monitoring results for average 24 hr TSP at 2 monitoring points KK1 and KK2 in all
six mobilizations are higher than the limited value in QCVN05:2013/BTNMT National
Technical Regulations on Ambient Air Quality (higher than 1,07 1,57 times). Especially
the 25th of October monitoring times , the monitoring results for average 24 hr TSP at 01
monitoring point KK2 are higher than the limited value (1,57 times).
- The monitoring results for average 24 hr PM10 at monitoring points KK1 and KK2 in all
six mobilizations are approximations and higher than the limited value in
QCVN05:2013/BTNMT National Technical Regulations on Ambient Air Quality (higher
than 0,91 1,28 times).
- Comparison of monitoring results between KK1and KK2 shows that KK1 has higher
concentrations of air pollutants than those at KK2, because the population density and
roads in coal mines at KK1 is higher than that at KK2.
- The time that concentrations of average 1 hr TSP and average 1 hr PM10 at 2 monitoring
points reach maximum is the rush hour when traffic activities are the highest (17h00
18h00).
- The weather in Mong Duong: During the 2 monitoring times in 2013 (September and
November) is rain, in the 4 monitoring times remaining ( July, August, October and
December) is sunny, dry.

Implementation of Environmental Management Measures by the Construction contractor has
followed the guidelines under the EMP
Problems Identified and Actions Recommended
During the second 6 months in 2013, construction activities at the site of Mong Duong 1
were more intense than during previous monitoring sessions due to construction activities
now overlapping with erection activities. Therefore, during this period, overall construction
activities had an impact on the air environment (dust) and noise to the nearby residential
areas.
Page 33 of 70
02 monitoring stations KK1 and KK2 located at residential areas selected in EMP are not
impacted during the construction phase of Mong Duong 1 Thermal Power Plant, but may
have an impact during the operation phase, particularly from the high pollution sources
(boiler, stack etc.).
Air pollution sources (mainly dust) towards the more dense populated residential areas of
Mong Duong Ward which is near the 2 sides of the old No.18A road are due to transport
activities (carrying coal and materials, cars, motorcycles sorting out coal plant (near KK2),
coal discharge area (especially when the wind blows from south-east direction). However,
better quality of the old No.18A road and community awareness of Mong Duong ward
residents was higher so the level of air pollution mitigation was better ( the old 18A road is
cleaned and watered regularly by local people).
Comparison monitoring results (dust) between the first 6 months of 2013 and the second 6
months of construction phase in 2013 shows that the second 6 months of 2013 had a higher
concentration of air pollutants than the 6 months previous. This is mainly caused by
increased transport activities on the new and old No.18 road which influence the resident
area of Mong Duong, especially when the weather in Mong Duong is sunny, hot and dry.
The social environment due to the gathering of large work force at Mong Duong precinct,
which cause the problems regarding to services, food provision etc need to be further
observed
3.2
Water Quality Monitoring
Monitoring is implemented inside and outside of Mong Duong 1 Thermal Power Plant project
within 5km radius
The report on the actual state of the water environment at Mong Duong 1 Thermal Power Plant
project has been prepared with the following purposes:
Domestic sewage water, grey water and subsequence discharge that would impact on ambient
surface water. Thus, during the pre-construction process, samples of 16 sensitive surface water
sites and 20 sensitive underground water sites were selected. The results of the original samples
were carefully recorded (as baseline data) to assess possible changes of the water quality during
construction. The data collected during the preconstruction phase will be compared to the data
obtained during construction and operation to establish sources of pollution and recommend
solutions to reduce possible impacts.
3.2.1 Monitoring parameters and procedures

The surface freshwater resources in the areas affected by the Mong Duong power plant project
development, consist of the lower reaches of the western Mong Duong River which discharges at
the plant site, the lower estuary of the small De Dach River to the north, and the distant Thac
Thay River to the north of Cam Hai commune. Mong Duong River drains a small, sparsely
populated basin from the west that is dominated by an active open pit coal mine The River
passes through Mong Duong town just before discharging into the Luong Gac channel at the
plant site. The analytical results of samples are summarized in the Table 3.9

Coastal water quality

The Mong Duong 1 thermal power plant is situated in the northwest of Bai Tu Long in northern
Vietnam. The coastal zone in this area is typical of Vietnam, which is dominated by vast sandy
sediment deposits that extend from well above the high water mark to beyond 5km offshore.
Coastal water samples were collected at four zones that potentially could be affected in different
ways by the power plan development: (1) near-shore area of Cam Hai commune; (2) at the ash
pond; (3) in the Van Don district (island group) about 1km east of the project site and (4) in the
Luong Gac channel from Cam Hai commune south to Cua Ong.
Page 39 of 70
At the three points (LG-1; LG-3; LG-4) impact assessment of transportation activities to coastal
water environment is performed. Eight coastal water samples were collected at selected
locations. The locations of coastal water sampling are shown in the Figure 3.2. The coordinates
of the coastal water samples are shown in Table 3.10

Luong Gac
The lower reaches of the river starting at Mong Duong town are brackish and strongly influenced
by the tidal cycle of Luong Gac and Bai Tu Long. The delta at the mouth of the river below
Mong Duong town experiences annual flooding resulting from the combination of high runoff
during the rainy season and spring (full moon) tides. Turbidity and suspended sediment loads in
the river are high, which is caused by land erosion from human activity (open-pit coal mining)
and the natural sandy soils of the region. The monitoring and analyzing results of coastal water
samples are presented in Table 3.11.

3.2.5 Underground water quality from Drilled Wells
Some of the groundwater monitoring locations at the construction site of the MD1 thermal
power plant project have been backfilled during the process of ground leveling. Regarding the
results of monitoring on August, 2013, the average backfilled depth from the wells surface to
ground surface is now in the range of 11.0 35.0m, (Old depth column in the Table 3.14). These
wells were constructed and designed for monitoring the ground water quality inside the MD1
power plan project boundary following the EIA of ADB.
Eleven underground water samples were collected from drilled wells at selected locations. The
locations of coastal water sampling are shown in the Figure 3.2. The coordinates of coastal water
sample are shown in Table 3.14.

According to the Monitoring and analyzing results for collected underground water (drilling
wells) samples:
Clorua and coliform were relatively high in GW-05, GW-06, GW-07-D, GW-08, GW09; GW-10-D, GW-11, at concentration above the referenced standard
Cd and Hg were detected in concentrations above the permitted standards in GW-10-D
Heavy metal at drilling wells sampling sites such as Hg, As, Cd, Pb are within limits in
comparison with QCVN 09: 2008/BTNMT and not change much through survey.
Changes of Fe and Mn concentrations are small and within limit in comparison with
QCVN 09: 2008/BTNMT.
Cl- concentration excess standard at 5 sites in comparison with QCVN 09:
2008/BTNMT. Particularly, GW-01, GW-05, GW-08, GW-09, GW-11excesse
standard 16.18, 1.7, 1.33 31.29 and 16 times, respectively.
COD concentrations at drilling wells sampling sites are medium and within limit in
comparison with QCVN 09: 2010/BTNMT. Changes of COD concentrations at drilling
wells sampling sites through survey are low. Range of changes is from 0.2 1 mg/l.
SO42- concentrations at existing wells are low and within limit in comparison with
QCVN 09: 2010/BTNMT. Changes of SO42- concentrations are not large. Range of
change is from 4-80mg/l.
NO3- concentrations at existing wells are low and within limit in comparison with
QCVN 09: 2008/BTNMT. Range of changes is from 0.3-1mg/l. NH4+ concentrations at
existing wells are low and within limit in comparison with QCVN 09: 2008/BTNMT.
Range of changes is about 0.002mg/l
Coliform number at Drilling wells excess standard in comparison with QCVN
09:2008/BTNMT. Range of change from 2 110MPM/100ml.
VOC, SVOC and TPH in existing wells sampling sites are not detected in August, 2013
survey.
3.2.6 Overall assessment

Evaluating the results of the monitoring and analyzing the surface water and groundwater samples in
Mong Duong 1 Thermal Power Plant Project, it can be concluded that:
During the survey time August, 2013, all obstacles have been removed and Mong Duong river
alignment activities are completed with construction activities under implementation.
Drilling wells labeled GW-01, GW-02, GW-03, GW-04, GW-05 and GW-08 were drilled for
environmental monitoring.
Impact of obstacle removal activities in coastal surface waters is monitored by taking and
analyzing coastal surface water samples at sampling sites labeled SW-3a, DD-1, SW-06, SW-07,
SW-5a, SW-5b, DD-04, SW-08. Parameters of those samples are within permitted limits in
comparison with QCVN 10.
Impact of the Mong Duong river alignment activities in coastal surface waters is monitored by
taking and analyzing coastal surface water samples at sampling sites labeled SW-01, and SW-04.
Parameters of those are almost within permitted limits when compared to QCVN 10.
Impact of transport activities in coastal surface waters is monitored by taking and analyzing
coastal surface water samples at sampling sites labeled LG-1, LG-3, LG-4. Parameters of those
samples are within permitted limits when compared to QCVN 10: 2008/BTNMT (Others

Page 48 of 70

Change of parameters sampling sites through surveys has a decreasing trend

Two of the water pollution sources are water discharged from coal mining locations via Mong
Duong River and ships transporting coal in waterways. Spilled coal from ships will dilute
elements and compound to coastal water (especially, Fe and Mn). So, decreasing trend may be
resulted of management and treatment improving of water discharged from coal mining and the
improvement of coal smuggle management in waterways
Almost all of the tested samples of underground water at sampling sites are within the limit of
National technical regulation on underground water quality QCVN09/2008/BTNMT except Cd, Clcontent and content of microorganisms (Coliform).
Concentrations of chloride (Cl-) beyond permitted limits of National technical regulation on
underground water quality QCVN09:2008/BTNMT at the site GW-03, GW-01-D, GW-08, GW-09
and GW-11. This can be explained that sampling sites are located in the coastal and island areas,
thus may be lightly saline
Concentrations of microorganisms (Coliform) beyond permitted limits of National technical
regulation on underground water quality QCVN09/2008/BTNMT at the site PW-01, PW-02, PW03, PW-04, PW-05, PW-06, PW-08, PW-09. This can be explained that water in existing wells are
not usually utilized thus water is not rotated frequently and easy to make condition for microbial
growing.
Following surveys, changes of underground water parameters at sampling sites are low and relatively
stable
Thus, we can conclude that during the time for monitoring August 2013 in combination with other
monitoring times (6th time previous) our observation show that the impact to coastal surface water
and underground waters due to obstacle removal in Mong Duong river alignment and ongoing
construction at the MD1/MD2 power plant sites are small.

AQUACULTURE & FISHERY
4.1
Overview
Monitoring was conducted in Thac Thay, De Dach, Mong Duong rivers and coastal area of Cam
Hai during the second six month of 2013 to assess the results of fishing and aquaculture
activities in the surrounding project site and the implementation of EMP requirements and
project EIA during the monitoring period.
The monitoring procedures include: collecting secondary data relating to the project; primary
data though methods of fieldtrip observation, fact-finding survey, direct interview, interview
through prepared questionnaire; assessing monitoring results; prepare evaluation report of
fishing and aquaculture activities; and propose treatment measures to minimize negative impacts
of the construction phase to fishing and aquaculture.
During the site visits, photos were taken to serve as proof of compliance or non-compliance and
reference documents were copied or photographed for archiving.
4.2
Inspection Activities
The inspection team conducted two surveys on aquatic resources and fisheries and aquaculture
activities in Thac Thay, De Dach and Mong Duong rivers and the coastal area of Cam Hai. The
first survey was done 27 August 2013 and on 4 December 2013. A number of methods were
applied: fact-finding surveys, direct interviews, interviews through prepared questionnaires, and
reference methods and statistical and comparison methods. In addition, several meetings and site
visits were conducted to gather the data contained in this report. During the site visits, photos
were taken to serve as proof of compliance or non-compliance and reference documents were
copied or photos of these were also taken.
During the two surveys, no fishing and aquaculture activities were observed in the Mong Duong
and De Dach rivers. The aquatic resources in these rivers were poor. Some small pelagic fishes
such as rabbit fish, mullet were observed in De Dach and Mong Duong rivers during the surveys.
Water quality in the second monitoring seems to be lower than it was in the first one because of
low tide condition in the second monitoring. Moreover, coal collectors in the Mong Duong river
was only seen in the second monitoring (4/12/2013). Wastes from coal mine trading and
residential waste discharged directly into the rivers, causing the depletion of aquatic resources of
these rivers. Negative impacts of constructing the Mong Duong thermal power plant complex are
not evident.
In the Mong Duong mouth river, there was absence of cargo vessels in the second monitoring,
compared to the first monitoring. Cargo vessels anchored in the river mouth may have impacts to
fishing activities around the project site.
Fishing activities were observed in the Thac Thay river and Luong Gac River in both surveys.
However, fishermen mainly used line fishing to catch grouper and sea bass juveniles in the first
monitor while trap fishing was more popular in the second survey. The difference of fishing
equipment is due to fishing species and tide cycle. Collecting bivalves such as rock oyster, clam
and cockle in lower intertidal zone at mangrove forest was observed in both surveys. However,
the productivity seems to be higher in the first monitoring session than in the second one. That is
because of lower temperature in the second monitoring time (winter season). In addition, no
Page 50 of 70

impacts of building the Mong Duong Thermal power plant to fishermens income were recorded
during monitoring. The low fishing productivity and depletion of aquatic resources is caused by
coal exploitation and coal trading and not by the construction activity
4.3
Overall Assessment Aquaculture and Fishery
Based on the results of the two surveys on the fishing and aquaculture activities around the
project sites from July to December of year 2013, it is concluded that the construction phase of
Mong Duong Thermal Power Plant have very minor impacts on the aquatic resources in
inspected areas with details as below:
No fishing activities and poor aquatic resources in De Dach and Mong Duong rivers due
to heavy industrial pollution from mining and coal trading.
Fishing activities in the Thac Thay River and Luong Dac areas were observed and
fishing methods and productivities rely on the season, fishing equipment and tide cycle.
Fishing productivities was low and unstable due to the depletion of aquatic resources but
building of the thermal plant has caused no impacts on fishermens income and
livelihood.

5.3
Overall Assessment Mangrove Reforestation
Mangrove quality develops well, branching off well.

The natural and environmental conditions support the mangroves development.
With the result above, the Mangrove of Area 1 has been accepted by
EVN/GENCO3/TPMB1. For the Area 2, because the cover is only 35%, it has not been
accepted as yet
Page 54 of 70

5.4
With the results above, the Mangrove planting project has met the requirement of the EIA
at least for area 1
EPC contractors construction workers need to be educated during the course of the
safety and environmental trainings on the need to avoid direct and/or indirect disturbance
of mangrove plants.
Prohibit dumping of waste in mangrove and forestry areas
Recommendation:
In the area 2 of the Mangrove reforestation area, the cover does not meet the requirement
of the contract between EVN/TPMB1 and Contractor. The Reforestation contractor is
requested to review the reason and provide the solution in order to meet the requirement
of the EIA and the contract.
Training is needed for environmental protection.

Environmental Quality Monitoring
This topic covers Air & Noise and Vibration, Water quality, Aqua culture and Fisheries and
Page 56 of 70

6.2.1
Air & Noise and Vibration Monitoring
Conclusion
During the second 6 months in 2013, construction activities at the site of Mong Duong 1
were intensified. Therefore, during this period, construction activities caused more
impact on the air environment (dust) and noise to the nearby residential areas.
02 monitoring stations KK1 and KK2 located at residential areas selected in EMP are not
impacted during the construction phase of Mong Duong 1 Thermal Power Plant, but may
have an impact during the operation phase, particularly from the high pollution sources
(boiler, stack etc.).
Air pollution sources (mainly dust) towards the more dense populated residential areas of
Mong Duong Ward which is near the 2 sides of the old No.18A road are due to transport
activities (carrying coal and materials, cars, motorcycles sorting out coal plant (near
KK2), coal discharge area (especially when the wind blows from south-east direction).
However, better quality of the old No.18A road and community awareness of Mong
Duong ward residents was higher so the level of air pollution mitigation was better (the
old No.18A road is cleaned and watered regularly by local people).
In addition, air pollution (dust and other pollution) is increasing. On the new No.18 road
near the entrance to Mong Duong 1and Mong Duong 2 power plants, heavy vehicles
operated a lot during the second 6 months in 2013, so the roads were very dirty and
dusty. The road needs regular water spraying to improve the condition, especially in the
dry season.
Comparison of monitoring results (dust) between the first 6 months of 2013 and the
second 6 months of construction phase in 2013 shows that the second 6 months of
2013 has higher concentrations of air pollutants than the f i r s t 6 months. This is
caused by increased transport activity on new and old No.18 road can influence to the
residents of Mong Duong, especially when the weather in Mong Duong was sunny, hot
and dry.
Recommendations:
The new No.18 road near the entrance to Mong Duong 1 and 2 power plants, needs
regular water spraying to improve the condition, especially in the dry season. The
appearance of construction waste in nearby vacant land (along the new No.18 road)
such as concrete from bored piles and other construction debris have improved but
need to be kept tidy at all times.
Significant environmental impact during the reporting period has not only been caused by
construction activities but also due to social environment changes caused by the gathering
of a large work force in the Mong Duong precinct, which causes problems regarding to
services, food provision etc. These and related problems need to be evaluated in addition
and corrected where necessary
6.2.2
Water quality Monitoring
Conclusion
Two of the water pollution sources are water discharge from coal mining via Mong
Duong River and ships transport coal in waterway. Almost all of the tested samples
of underground water at sampling sites are within the limit of National technical
regulation on underground water quality QCVN09/2008/BTNMT except: (i)
Concentrations of chloride (Cl-) beyond permitted limits of QCVN09/2008/BTNMT; and
(ii) Concentration of microorganisms (Coliform) beyond permitted limits of
QCVN09/2008/BTNMT.
Page 57 of 70

After having examined the monitoring results from the August survey and combining
with the results from previous monitoring times, it is found that the impact to the
coastal surface water and underground water caused by ongoing construction activities
and river alignment is so far small.
Recommendation
6.2.3
It is recommended to continue with monitoring surveys during the construction phase of the
Mong Duong 1 and compare to the base line data collected at the pre-construction phase.
Aquaculture and Fishery Monitoring
Conclusion
Based on the results of the two surveys on fishing and aquaculture activities in Thac Thay, De
Dach and Mong Duong rivers and along the coastal line of Cam Hai commune during the first
half year of 2013, it may be concluded that:
The construction phase of Mong Duong 1 power plant has minor impacts on the aquatic
resources in the inspected areas.
There were no fishing activities in De Dach and Mong Duong rivers due to heavy
industrial pollution from mining and coal trading. Number of aquatic species and their
components in these areas are very limited.
Some fishing activities in the Thac Thay river and Luong Gac areas were observed but
there are no shrimp activities along Cam Hai coastal line due to loss from shrimp diseases
outbreak and flooding.
Normal fishing activities and aquaculture are observed in the Thac Thay river and along
the coastal line of Cam Hai commune.
Recommendations
Contractors need to strictly implement their solid waste and waste water disposal
management plan and do not permit dumping of any hazardous substances into nearby
rivers or sea.
6.2.4
Mangrove Reforestation Monitoring
Conclusion
Mangrove quality develops well, branching off well.

The natural and environmental conditions support the mangroves development.
With the result above, the Mangrove of Area 1 has been accepted by EVN/TPMB1. For
the Area 2, because the cover is only 35%, it was not yet accepted.
With the results above, the Mangrove planting project has met the requirement of the EIA
EPC contractors construction workers need to be educated during the course of the
safety and environmental trainings on the need to avoid direct and/or indirect disturbance
of the mangroves.
Prohibit dumping of waste in mangrove and forestry areas
Recommendations
In the area 2 of the Mangrove, the cover does not meet the requirement of the contract
between EVN/TPMB1 and the Contractor. The Reforestation contractor is required to
Page 58 of 70

review the reason and provide the solution in order to meet the requirement of the EIA
and the contract.
The area of dead trees in Area 2 need to be regrown
The small trees in both area 1 and 2 need to be taken care from the harmful
environmental conditions, such as sea snails/garbage are sticking around the stem
The training is need for safety and environmental protection.
Preparing the activity to raise awareness for resident in forest protection.
