ANNEX 2 – ELIGIBILITY AND IMPACTS SCREENING FOR SUBPROJECT

SAFEGUARD ELIGIBILITY AND IMPACTS SCREENING FOR SUBPROJECT

* If all answers are “No”, subproject is eligible and move to Part 3

* If at least one question answered as “yes”, the Subproject is ineligible and will be excluded from VnSAT. Project owner can reselect the site of subproject and do screening again

Part 3: Impacts screening
Answer the questions below and follow the guidance to describe the potential impacts

No. S		Yes	No	Description of the potential impacts
1.PRE-CONSTRUCTION PHASE
	Will the sub-project ..?			(the texts below are guidance)
1.1	Require Land acquisition for construction and or worker’s camp, construction materials loading and storage, etc.			provide the information below Total land areas to be acquired: Permanently: - Temporarily: In which: public land: Private land:
1.2	Loss or damages to trees and existing vegetation cover due to site clearance, machinery operation or disposal of excavated materials?			(Guidance: provide the information below) number of trees to be cut down: Total land area of vegetation cover removed
1.3	At risk of having unexploded objects (UXO) left at the site from the war			state the total land area at risk that require mine clearance:
2. CONSTRUCTION PHASE
2.1	Disturb vegetation cover or damage trees at construction sites, along ROW or other areas disturbed during construction phase			observe the area and describe where existing vegetation cover, trees will be affected during construction phase:
2.2	Cause increased level of dust and noise ?			Identify source of dust and noise: loose construction materials, soil, sand blown by wind. Assess Level of impacts depends on weather (wet/dry), number and distance of houses from sites.
2.3	Generate smoke and smell (cause pollution, health impacts)			Identify possible sources: fuel burning , vehicle exhausts, toilets, domestic wastes from camp kitchen Assess level of impact: consider duration, intensity of smoke/smell taking into account wind directions
2.4	Cause ground vibration (cause nuisance to community, damages to weak existing objects and infrastructure)			Identify sources: ground compaction (roadwork’s, storage, drilling) Level of impacts: intensity of compaction, and strength of existing infrastructure
2.5	Pollution of soil and water sources (from waste and wastewater generation, excavated soil, acid sulphate soil, construction, packaging materials, municipals wastes generated by the workers)			Identify sources of waste and wastewater generation, such as construction site, worker camps and quantify the waste/wastewater for assessing the level of impact, taking into account the distance from source to receptor (e.g. waterbodies). Leakage of oil stored at the site may also cause soil and water pollution
2.6	Localised flooding related to disturbance to existing drains, changes in ground elevation etc.			Localised flooding may occur if existing/natural drainage path is blocked or disrupted. consider the issues at construction sites, camps, borrow pits, quarries and disposal sites. If materials are bought from existing licensed borrow pits and quarries, the issues would not be considered in the project
2.7	Sedimentation in areas next to construction site as surface runoff wash away loose materials from construction sites?			Loose construction materials and excavated soil may be blown by wind or washed away by surface water runoff and cause sedimentation in existing drains
2.8	Damage or interrupt operations of existing infrastructure (drain, powerline, etc.)			If not avoided, some subprojects (road rehabilitation, construction of large storage facility) sited in areas where power line, irrigation canals, drains etc. exist, they may be affected or cause blockage
2.9	Cause loss or damage ti physical cultural resources, such as grave sites, historical objects/structures, temples, worshiping facilities, sacred trees, objects of spiritual important to communitiesetc.			If not avoided, some subprojects (road rehabilitation, construction of large storage facility, etc.) may cause loss or damages to physical cultural resources such as temples, pagodas, grave yards, sacred trees, etc. Construction activities may also cause dust, noise, visual impacts to these sites.
2.10	Disturb farming activities due to the presence of workers and machineries at the site, damages to crops:			If construction takes place agriculture area, construction materials, waste, wastewater and surface runoff from construction sites, camps may enter rice or plantation nearby disturbed areas and cause loss or harm to plants, trees The presence and movement of machinery, construction materials, workers may disrupt access to or affect farming activities
2.11	Social disturbance due to construction activities and the presence of workers in the project area			Dust, noise, vibration from construction or interactions between workers with local people may cause nuisance and conflict between the workers and local community. In some cases, workers may also involved in “social evils” in the project areas such as gambling, drinking, prostitutions etc. to have bad impacts on local people, particularly where ethnic minority groups present.
2.12	Safety and health risks for workers (loading and unloading of construction materials, excavated areas, fuel storage and usage, electrical use, machinery operations etc, adequacy of accomodation etc.)			There are some safety risks for workers related to transportation and loading of construction materials, working high above the ground or in canals where slops are unstable, machinery operations, electrical uses for office, camp and construction
2.13	Safety risks for community (related to loading and unloading of construction materials, excavated areas, fuel storage and usage, electrical use, machinery operations etc, adequacy of accomodation etc.)			If local people presence at or near construction site, they would be exposed to safety risks related to construction
2.14	Disturb traffic and/or cause traffic safety risks			Rehabilitation of access road to farms may disrupt traffic. Transportation of construction materials and wastes, temporary loading of materials in other subprojects may also disrupt traffic and/or cause traffic safety risks
2.15	Others (specify)			Identify and describe site-specific and type-specific issues, concerns, risks, potential impacts
3. OPERATION PHASE
3.1	Cause dust, noise during operation phase (e.g. from pumps)			Dust and noise along access roads
3.2	Safety risks for community			(considers those related to electrical poles, falling into canals, traffic safety etc)
3.3	Water pollution?
	Others impacts (specify)
