This
EIA
study
is
based
on
Government
of
Vietnam
(GOV)
legal
documents
and
\\'orld
Ban.k
(WB)
environment
assessment
guidelines.
The
technical
aspects
of
the EIA
are
based
on

the
Feasibility
Study
Report
of
the
P\12-2
power

prepared
by
EDFI
Consortium
and
various
scientific
data obtained
from
the
survey
programs
of
VESDEC,
and
the
Vietnam
Association
for
the
Conservation

of
iNature

(VACNE),
the
Vietnamese
agency, which
carried
out the
EIA.
It is
the
basis
of
this
Project
Summary

which follows
international
standard
methods
In
order
to
clarify
potential impacts
of
the

project
the
following
items
are
assessed
in

The
town
of
Phu
My
(formerly
Phu

of
Tan
Thanh district
(Ba
Ria-Vung
Tau
province)
is
located
in
a
flat
area
with
an
altitude

sloping
from
the
East
(near
the
foot
of
Thi
Vai
Mountain)
50-60m
to
the West
(the
riverside
of
the
Thi
Vai
River).
Although
Thi
Vai
Mountain
is
about
470
m
high,

it
does
not
obstruct
or impact
the
dispersion
of
the flue
gas
from
the
power
plant
because
it
is
approximately
5
km
from
the
project
site
and
occupies
a
very
small
area.

*
Climate
-
Ba
Ria-Vung
Tau
province
has
a
relatively
high
and
generally

atmospheric
temperature
range.
The
average
annual
temperature
varies between
24 8

(January)
and
29.1
0

(May).
In
the
hottest

is
about
29
0
C and
in
the
coldest
month
(December
in

average
temperature
is
about

25"C
The
annual

-
The
evaporation
rate
in
Ba

Ria-Vung
Tau
can
be
the
highest
in
Vietnam.
This
is
an
indication
that
the
area
is
rich
in
radiant
heat,
energy
and
wind. The
highest evaporation
(140
-
160
mm) occurs
in
March,

and the
lowest
(49

62
mm)
in
September.
The annual
total
of

is
over
1,100

-
In
Ba Ria
-
Vung

province,
there
is
an
intensive
differentiation between

the
rainy
season
and
the
dry
season.
Rainfall during
the
6
months
of
the
rainy
season
generally
accounts
for
85%-90%
of
the
total
rainfall
in
any
year.
In
the
period
from May

to
October, the
monthly
average
of
rainfall
at
Phu

averages
230
to 319
mm
and
during the
dry

period
from December
to
April
it
ranges
from9-35
mm.

Southwest
wind
primarily
appears during the rainy season
(NMay

with
an
average
speed

usually
brings
rain.
The

wind
primarily
appears
during
the
period from
November to
April
w
ith
an
average
speed
of
2.4-
4.7

This
is
not
an
area
characterised
by
a
high
frequency

of
typhoons or
tropical
storms
but
low
intensity
tempests
are
common.
Storms
with
wind
having
a
grade

are
very
rare.
Storms
and
tropical
low
pressures occasionally
occur

in
the September
to
December
period, mostly
in
November.
The
major
storms
are
moving
from

Most storms
appear
in

Present
Biological
Environment
In
the
project
area
there
are
no
valuable
natural
biological resources
because
almost
all
vegetation
was
removed
to
construct
the
industrial
park.
The
following information
indicates

the
biological
resources
at
the
areas
along
the
Thi
Vai
River,
located
out-side
of
the
project
area

which
may
be
impacted
by
the
project
operation.
*
Vegetation
A
major

part
of
the
Eastern
bank
of
the
river
belongs to
an
agricultural ecosystem
The
basic
characteristic
of
this agricultural
ecosystem
is
the
interference
of
fresh
water
and
brackish
water
in
the
whole
Thi

Vai
basin.
In
arable
land
the
dominant
trees
are
cashew
(Anacardium)
and
eucalyptus
(Eucaliptus)
upland
crops
(tapioca,
corn,
green
beans,
soy
beans etc)
and
fruit
trees
(longan, orange,
banana, coconut)
planted
on
higher

elevation
fields.
In
the
flat
lower
elevation
fields rice
is
more
common
Other
kinds
of
wild
vegetation
are
grass
and
mangrove
trees
(Rhizophora,
Phoenix
fruiticans,
Avicennia
etc.).
The
flora
broadly
distributed

in
the
area
is
not
very
rich
in
terms
of
species
composition or
variety
and
quantity
of
individuals.
In
the
Western
part
of
the
Thi
Vai
River
belonging
to
Can
Gio

district,
a
dense
mangrove
forest
is
found.
The
main
mangrove trees
are
Nipa
palm,
Rhizophora,
Sonneratia, Avicennia
etc.

a

great
opportunity
for
urbanisation,
proper
change
in
land-use
and
overall
socio-economic
development
of
the
Southern
Economic
Focal
Zone.
These
positive
socio-economic
values
of
the
project
are
clearly
indicated
in
Chapter

Three
of
the
EIA
and
in
the
Feasibility
Study.
Beside
the
significant
beneficial
impacts,
and
despite
the use
of
a
modern
and
clean
technology
and
the
use
of
natural
gas
as

main
fuel,
the
project
may
produce
impacts
on
the
environment.
However,
the
project
will
not
result
in
the
occupation
of
any
additional land
for
the
construction
of
the plant,
but
will only
use

the
existing planned
area,
on
which
there
are
no
residential
or
commercial
sites.
The
potential
environmental
impacts
are
identified
and
assessed
by
various
methods
(checklist,
matrix,
network
and
modelling).
Conclusions
from

this
assessment
are
given
as
follows.
4.1
Impacts
Associated
With
the
Project's
Design
and
Pre-Construction
Phase
The
new
thermal
power
plant
will be
constructed
in
the
planned
Energy
Complex area,
in
which

all
residential
sites,
economic units
were
removed
some years
ago;
encroachment
on
agricultural, aquacultural and
residential
lands
is
not
expected.
4.2
Impacts Associated
With
the
Construction
Phase
Construction
of
the
Phu
My
2.2
Thermal Power
Plant

will
involve
civil
works
during
the
construction
process,
which
may
cause
the following
impacts to
the
environment-
-
A
temporary
increase
in
the
volume
of
transportation
activities
in
the
area
due
to

transportation
of
construction
materials,
plant
equipment
and
operation
of
construction
equipment.
This
may
obstruct
normal
traffic
on
the
National
Highway
51
and
on
road
connecting
the
Energy
Complex
with
the

Highway.
-
Air
pollution
from
the
construction
site
and from
transport
of
construction materials
may
affect
human
health,
cultural
and
historical
sites.
-
Noise
and
vibration
pollution
produced
by
construction
equipment
may

affect
human
health.
-
Soil
and
water
pollution
by oil
and
grease
from

-
Soil
and
water
pollution
from
soil
dredging
in
the
saline
and/or
acid
sulphate
soils,
with

potential damage
to
limited
sectors
of
the
aquatic
ecosystem
and
possible
impact
on
aquaculture.
-
River water
pollution
created
by
erosion
at
the
construction
site,
spoil

area
and
waste
handling facilities.
-

Local
regulations
(concernino
noise,

and
traffic
management)
will
be
complied with
in

Phase
*
Air
Pollution
Natural
gas
is
used
as

primary
fuel,
Distillate
Oil
is
contemplated
as
the
secondary
fuel
but
not
more than
5
days
any
year.
Air
pollution
will
be
limited because
natural
gas
is
an
inherently
clean
fuel,
which

contains
very
little sulphur
and produces
very
low levels
of
nitrogen
oxides
due
to
the
incorporation
of
a
dry
low
NOx
combustion
process.
Using
an
air
quality
model,
a
study
showed
that ground
concentrations

of
SO
2
,
NO\
and
dust
will
meet
the Vietnam Standard
and
WB
guideline
for
ambient
air.
*
Water
And
Soil
Pollution
Pollution created
by
fuel
leakage
from
fuel
storage
tanks
and

from tankers
will
be
limited
because
tanks
are
installed
within
an
adequately
sized,
impermeably
sealed
retention
area
Discharge
of
treated
wastewater
and
solid
waste
will
be
strictly
controlled
and will
comply
with

all
applicable
regulations.
River
water
may be
thermally
polluted
by heated
flume
from
cooling
water discharge
but
the
increase
temperature
between
the inlet
and
outlet
of
the
condenser
will
be no
more
than
7°C.
Using

a
thermal
pollution
dispersion
model,
the
study
indicated
in
cases
of
water
intake
of
17
m
3
s
(when

is
only
in
operation)
to
80m

that
the
river
temperature
at
the
mixing
zone
will be
increased
bv
only
1-2
0
C,
which
will
not
significantly
damage

the
local
aquatic
ecosystem.
The
threat
to
aquatic
organisms
in
the
Thi
Vai
River and
connected
rivers
by
the
cooling
water
intake
may
be
serious.
This
impact
cannot
be
avoided,
but

it
will
be
miinimised
by
implementing
appropriate
technical
mitigation
measures
*
Noise
And
Vibration
Pollution
Noise
and
vibration
pollution generated
from
the
plant
will
impact
the plant
xvork-ing
areas
but
the
noise

transmitted
to
the
surrounding
area
will
be
minimal
and will

The

ha
Phu

My
Energy
Complex was
planned
by
the
Government
to
centralize
a
total
generation capacity
of
about
3850
MW.
Since energy
demand
has increased
from
year
to
year,
in
case
where
the
Phu
My
2.2

project
is
replaced
by
another
energy
project,
it
can
be
expected that
the
replacement
facility
will
be
implemented
on
the
same
site
This
means
that
further development
of
large scale
energy
projects
in

the
Phu
My
Energy
Complex
is
irreversible
.
In
this
alternative
two
cases
may
be
planned:
*
Case
1:
Replacement
of
the
Phu

At
the
occasion
of
Pha
Lai
and
Quang
Ninh
Projects,
both
coal
power
stations,
Environmental
Impact
Studies
were

carried
out.
The
important
negative
impacts
of
the
Coal

stations
were
clearly
analyzed
in
Chapter

of
the
EIA
Report.

of
Alternative
Three
(With

TPP)
The
potential impacts
of
the
Phu
My
2.2
TPP
are assessed
in
the
section
4
of
the EIA
report.
5.5
Conclusions
From
the
above,
it
can
be
concluded
that:
-
In

comparison
with
other
types
of
power
plants
e.g
coal
and
fuel
oil
power
plants,
natural
gas
combined
cycle
power
plants like
Phu
My
2.2
plant
have
few
adverse
impacts
on
the

natural environment.
This
is
due
to
the
type
of
technology
used
and
type
of
fuel.
With
natural
gas
fuel
and
the
advanced
technology
which
will
be
implemented,
there
is
minimal
pollution

due
to
sulfur,
and
very
little
air
pollution
attributable
to
oxides
of
nitrogen. From
the
water
pollution
point
of
view,
there
is
a
very
low
risk
of
leakage
as
there
is

no
huge
fuel
oil
storage.
Distillate
Oil
will
be
used
as
only
as
a
back
up
fuel
only
and
even then
not for
more than
five
days
a
year.
Consequently,
storage requirements
are
much

smaller
and
there
are
no
ash
ponds.
Hence
there
is
minimal
risk
of
pollution
to
subterranean
water
aquifers.
-
Location
of
the Project
is
suitable
for
a
large
size
natural
gas

combined
cycle
power
plant
because
of
the
close
proximity
to
the
highly
developed
industrial
and
urban
centers
of
southern
Vietnam.
It
is
also
near
a
water
source
suitable
for
cooling

water
intake
and
discharge
and
is
not far
from
the
fuel
supply
source.
-
The
Project
will
have
significant
positive
socio-economic
impacts
in
the
local
area
and
in
the
region.
Therefore,

positive
impacts
of
the
project are
expected
to
be
much
higher
than
the
negative
impacts
on local socio-economy
and
on
the
environment.
This
is
the
main
reason
why
the
Government,
EVN
and
local

people
strongly support
the
project.
