SUMMARY OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT
Nhon Trach 3 IP One member Affiliated Co., Ltd is authorised by Tin Nghia
Corporation to manage the infrastructures of the IP; hence is also responsible for the
implementation of the CETP (Module 2), capacity 2,000 m3/day in Nhon Trach 3 IP.
This EMP is constructed by the Environmental Technology Center (ENTEC), part of
Vietnam Association for Conservation of Nature and Environment (VACNE). The
contents of the plan is as below
1. PROJECT CONTENTS
1.1. Description
 Aim: to satisfy the increasing in number of firms within the IP and the arisen
demand of wastewater treatment through the development of Module 2 CETP
,capacity of 2,000 m3/day” (the total capacity of two modules is 4,000 m3/day and
night)
 Project Owners: Nhon Trach 3 IP One member Affiliated Co., Ltd
 Site Location: Road No. 2, Nhon Trach Industrial Park No. 1, Phase II, Nhon Trach
District, Dong Nai Province.
 The Module 1 centralised wastewater treatment system have original capacity of is
2,000 m3/day the system ahs been receiving and treating wastewater of operating
industries in the industrial park. Currently the average wastewater volume is 780
m3/day; nd peaked at 1,169 m3/day. By November 2012, the total wastewater volume
of Nhon Trach 3 IP, Phase 2 will increase to around 3,000 m3/day. To properly collect
and treat this wastewater, Tin Nghia has been developing the second module to expand
the total capacity of the wastewater treatment facility of Nhon Trach 3 IP, Phase 2 to
4,000 m3/day.
1.2. CETP treatment technology
Wastewater from Nhon Trach 3 IP, phase 2 is treated by two steps as follows:
 1st Step (facilities own treatment): the wastewater from private companies will be
treated preliminarily, to meet the influent standard of IP centralised treatment
plant.
 2nd Step (centralised treatment): Preliminarily treated wastewater is collected into
the centralised treatment facility of the industrial park for further treatment ( and
meet the QCVN 40:2011/BTNMT – National Technical Regulation on Industrial
Wastewater, Column B, Kf=1.0, Kq=1.1) prior discharging into the environment
 Module 2 technology for Nhon Trach 3 IP CETP can be described as below:
Preliminary and Primary Treatment:
+ Removal of wastewater constituents (rags, sticks, floatables, grits…).
+ Chemical treatment (mixing and flocculation).
9
+ Removed floating oils and greases.
Secondary treatment (remove biodegradable organics):
+ Aerobic treatment to removal biodegradable nutrients, BOD, COD.
Tertiary treatment:
+ Advanced treatment by remove residual suspended solid and dissolved materials.
+ Disinfection.
Sludge treatment:
+ Dewater and compact the dried sludge.
1.3. CETP characteristics
 The effluent after treatment will be flown through the open ditches B4000, then
closed pipes B3000 before being directed along the upper stream of Lo Ren canal
(along regional slopes toward southeast), and finally being discharged into Thi Vai
River.
 The discharge schedule is 24 hours a day.
 Discharge flow rate is 84 m3/hr (or up to 2000 m3/day)
1.4. CETP implementation schedules
 June/ July 2012: Finished legal works
 Aug-Dec 2012: Start the construction
 Jan 2013: Implement equipments, pipeline networks.
 Feb 2013: Pilot Run
 Mar- Apr 2013: Technology and system transfering
2. CHARACTERISTICS OF WASTEWATER RECEIVING BODY BASIN
2.1. Discharge points
Discharge point: Lo Ren Culvert (near Lo ren Bridge) and at coordinates (VN2000):
 X: 1.184.745 m;
 Y: 413.438 m.
2.2. Current environmental status
 Air quality: The analysed sampling results from nearby air quality samples showed
all parameters met QCVN 05:2009/BTNMT, QCVN 26:2010/BTNMT, and QCVN
06:2009/BTNM
 Surface Water quality: The analysed sampling results from nearby surface water
quality samples comparing to QCVN 08:2008/BTNMT, column B1 showed parameters
like COD, BOD and TSS over the standards.
10
 Soil quality: The analysed sampling results from soil samples showed no heavy
metal pollution
2.3. Characteristics of wastewater receiving body
Thi Vai River is the wastewater receiving body for all of Nhon Trach 3 wastewater
and currently is heavily polluted due to wastewaters from nearby sources. River
flowrate mixed with flood is peaked at 3,400 m3/s, with river with tide reverse flow
peaked with tide at 2,300 m3/s. River flowrate during wet season is around 350 – 400
m3/s and during dry season is around 200 m3/s. The minimum recorded flowrate is 40
– 50 m3/s. The highest river speed could reach 1.5 m/s. Thi Vai River based on Dong
nai Province planned landuse, is for aquaculture farming
2.4. Nearby discharge
Nearby discharges sources into Thi Vai River is as below:
 Industrial sources: Discharges from Hung Nghiep Formosa, Nhon Trach 2 and 3
IPs, with a flowrate of approximate 20,500 m3/day
 Agricultural sources: The total volume of wastewater from aquaculture activities
discharged into Thi Vai river is estimated at 7,043,760 to 9,391,680 m3/farming
season. Most of these wastewater is discharged only after harvested (after around 3-4
months)
 Residental sources: Domestic wasteater from Long Tho Commune, Nhon Trach
District and Hiep Phuoc District is 1,467 – 1,956 m3/day.
2.5. Nearby water supply intake
Within 3 km downstream of Thi Vai (from Mareng discharge point), there’s no river
water intake sites, even for industrial or aquaculture purposes.
3. ALTERNATIVE SOLUTION
3.1. Discharge point location
As the Module 2 used the same discharge point with the Module1, hence there’s no
alternative solution for the discharge point location
3.2. Wasteawter treatment technology
As the Module 2 have to integrate into Module 1, hence there’s no alternative solution
for the already chosen technology in Module 1
3.3. Sludge treatment
As the sludge treatment of Module 1 still can provide the extra capacity, hence the
Moduel 2 still use the same method as Module 1
11
4. DISCHARGE IMPACT ASSESSMENT
4.1. On water quality
After the Module 2 start operating, a flow of 2,000 m3/ day will contribute into
Mareng Canal flow, bring with it an equivalence of 31.6 kg TSS, 14 kg BOD5, 104 kg
COD, 0.76 kg ammonia and 0.36 kg Total iron
4.2. On the ecology
Currently, there is no expected impact by the discharge onto the ecology and
mangrove areas downstream (Long Thanh – Nhon Trach areas)
4.3. On river flow
The discharge rate from the CETP (Module 2) is insignificant comparing to Mareng
and Thi vai river, hence won’t affect the river and canal flow
4.4. On air quality
The discharge from The CETP does not produce odour as from the interviews toward
the residential areas and hence does not impact onto regional air quality
4.5. Associated risks and accidents
Due to the low discharge rate 2,000 m3/day or 23.14 l/s, the discharge won’t affect the
travel of canoes on the canal and rvier
4.6. Socio-economical impacts
There’s no negative feedbacks from the nearby residential areas (around Mareng and
Thi Vai) on whether their socio-economical situations are affected by the project
4.7. Accumulated and integrated impacts
For Ma Reng Canal, after received the treated wastewater from the IP will still be able
to sustain the loads of parameters BOD, SS, As, Pb, Cd and Hg. Only COD already
over the river maximum pollution loads; due to the current pollution load of Mareng
is already higher than the Canal max pollution load. In that way, even when the
pollution loads from the CETP contribute unsinificant amount, the river still can’t
receive more loads.
Similarly for Thi Vai River, after received the treated wastewater from the IP will still
be able to sustain the loads of parameters BOD, COD, As, Pb, Cd and Hg. Only COD
already over the river maximum pollution loads; due to the current pollution load of
Mareng is already higher than the Canal max pollution load. So even when the
pollution loads from the CETP contribute unsinificant amount, the river still can’t
receive more loads

CHAPTER 1
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
1.1. PROJECT ORIGIN
In compliance with the existing regulations over the environmental qualities within
and surrounding Nhon Trach 3 Industrial Park, Tin Nghia Corporation have invested
in the implementation of a centralised wastewater treatment system (Module 1) in
Nhon Trach 3 Industrial Park - Phase 2, capacity of 2,000 m3/day and night. This
Module 1 central wastewater treatment system was officially put into operation since
November 2007, meeting wastewater treatment requirements and demands from Nhon
Trach 3 Industrial Park, and Vietnam environmental regulations.
However, due to the increasing number of facilities within the industrial park, the
wastewater discharge demand has been increasing rapidly. That’s why the project
entitled “Development of the CETP of Nhon Trach 3 IP - Phase 2 (Module 2) capacity
of 2,000 m3/day (the total capacity of two phases is 4,000 m3/day) has been proposed
to meet the wastewater treatment demand in the industrial park.
Some facilities are currently under construction at the IP, and already sent the
notification on the expected operation time in 2012 and the estimated discharge
volume. Or more specifically:
 Rohm & Haas Vietnam Co., Ltd: April, 2010. The estimated wastewater volume is
80 m3/day
 Promax Textile Vietnam Co., Ltd.: July 2012; the estimated wastewater volume is
1,400 m3/day
 YKK Vietnam Co., Ltd.: November 2012; the estimated wastewater volume is 250
m3/day.
By November 2012, the total wastewater volume of Nhon Trach 3 IP, Phase 2 will
increase to around 3,000 m3/day. To properly collect and treat this wastewater volume
to the existing requirement (Decision No. 1696/QD-BTNMT dated November 15, 2006
of MONRE on approving EIA report of Nhon Trach 3 IP, Phase 2), Tin Nghia has
been developing the second module to expand the total capacity of the wastewater
treatment facility of Nhon Trach 3 IP, Phase 2 to 4,000m3/day.

Trach Industrial Park No. 3 - Phase 2, Nhon Trach District, Dong Nai Province. A map
that shows location of IZ and a map that shows the IZ, including service areas of
CETP Module 1 and Module 2 is illustrated in appendix 1.
1.4. CURRENT SITUATION OF TECHNICAL INFRASTRUCTURE IN NHON
TRACH INDUSTRIAL PARK NO 3 – PHASE II
The Industrial Zone is divided into two “phases”. Phase 1 is approximately the
northern third of the IZ and Phase 2 is the southern two-thirds (see map in Appendix
1). In Phase 1 we find 9 existing industries (all serviced by the CETP-Module 1) and
Formosa Industry which has its own pre-treatment and which does not send its effluent
to the IZ CETP; it is discharged separately.
Nhon Trach 3 IP, Phase II covers a total area of 360.5 ha. There are an additional 20
industrial enterprises in the Phase II which are also connected to the CETP-Module 1.
Future industries will be located in Phase II and will all connect to the CETP.
The IP’s EIA report was approved by the Ministry of Natural Resources and
Environment(MONRE) in Decision No. 1696/QD-BTNMT dated November 15, 2006.
The IP has been attracting various industries including garment and textile, footwear
and leather, machine manufacturing, food processing, medicine and cosmetics,
material technologies, interior decoration, wooden product processing and services
such as banking, telecommunication, public cleaning service, warehouse, workshop
rental among others.
 Area: 360.5 ha with the construction area of 262.5 ha (65.7% of total area)
 29 investment facilities’ licenses were granted so far in Nhon Trach 3 IP.
 The occupied area: 126.95 ha; sharing 48%.
 The unoccupied area: 136 ha; sharing 52%.
 Tree growing area: 61.29 ha; sharing 17%.

1.5.2.2. Characteristics of CETP
(1). Wastewater collection systems
All waste water from the IP is collected with a concrete drainage system, through
D1.500 pipe toward the treatment plant.
From the CETP, the treated wastewater is discharged through a network of 235 m
open ditches, and 524.3 m closed pipes (total length of 759.3 m).
The purpose using the 235 m open ditches is 1) To keep original landscape; 2) To
monitor the storm water drainage (to avoid the industries discharge the waste water
into environment .through the open ditches). .
(2). Treatment Technology Description
The treatment technology is described in Figure below

Technology description:
 Waste water from factories in industrial zones flows in the drainage system into
manhole of the CEPT. Before entering the pump house, waste water is passed through
the rough screen to remove the large solid residue out of the flow. From the pump
32
house, the waste water be pumped the fine screen to remove the solid residue, which is
larger than 1.5 mm, then flow into grease trap tank. In the grease trap tank, grease is
removed ot of the waste water, then waste water continue flows into the equaliser tank.
 The equaliser tank is arranged the blades system to mix the component, behaviour
of the waste water to avoid the solid sedimentation, coinstantaneous, the equaliser tank
is installed the add-in chemical system to neutralize the pH of waste water.
 From the equaliser tank, waste water continue to be led through the physical and
chemical treatment systems. the wastewater will be treated with chemical through
flocculation and flotation process in primary clarifier. The clarifier will separate the
residue/sludge from influent, before it’s running through the aeration tank where being
treated with activated sludge (aerotank).
 Organic substances treatment by aerotank is aerobic activated sludge suspended
technology, in continuous agitation. The operating principle of the aerotank is an
application of the growth of aerobic microorganisms - under the influence of supplied
oxygen from the air through the aerator and plates smooth foam – it helps
microorganism decompose organic matter, converting them into CO2, H2O, inorganic
products and new biological cells.
 The wastewater after being treated with the aerobic process, will be run through the
secondary clarifier. Some of the sludge from the secondary clarifier will be fed back to
the aerobic tank to provide the foods and maintain the level of microorganism inside
the aerobic tank. The rest of the sludge will be pumped out for dewatering and further
treatment. The treated wastewater will then be pumped into disinfection tanks for
disinfections and monitoring
 The stabilising pond acted as buffer to further treat the water before it’s released
into the environment.
1.5.2.3. Characteristics of wastewater discharge
(1). Discharge System
1). Technical aspects of discharge system
(a). Industrial wastewater discharge
At the centralized wastewater treatment plant, after treated wastewater is discharged
through Lo Ren canal (the regional discharge channel) through a network of open
ditches B4000, and closed pipes B3000, with a total length of 759.3 m (B4000= 235
m, B3000 = 524.3 m)
(b). Storm water drainage discharge
 Storm water is collected by the drainage system running along the internal roads (as
mentioned previously), then is gathered and discharged through the drain pipe along
D6 road. Finally the storm water is discharged through Lo Ren canal along with the
treated wastewater from the treatment plant
33
 Currently all of the firms within the IP have connected their wastewater drainage
system toward the IP’s centralized wastewater treatment plant; no industries have self
treatment and discharged into the stormwater pipeline
(2). Discharge method
As mentioned above, waste water after treatment will be flown through the open
ditches B4000, then closed pipes B3000 before being directed along the upper stream
of Lo Ren canal (along regional slopes toward southeast), and finally is discharged
into Thi Vai River.
(3). Discharge Schedule
The wastewater treatment plants used the combination of chemical and biological
treatment methods (BNR), so wastewater treatment system is operated 24 hours a day.
(4). Discharge flow rate
In the first 6 months of 2012, we have:
 Maximum discharge flow rate is 1,364 m3/day;
 Minimum discharge flow rate is 325 m3/day;
 Averaged discharge flow rate (the first 6 months of 2012) is 780 m3/day.
1.5.3. Sludge treatment technology
On sludge treatment: sludge from primary and secondary clarifiers will be pumped out
for solidified and dewatered (with mixing). Solidified and dewatered sludge are mixed
with polymer before finally being compressed. This mud, and the greases from the
container will be treated as hazardous wastes. Water from sludge in these processes
will be pumped back and mixed with the influent.

CHAPTER 2
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PROJECT AREA
2.1. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF PROJECT AREA
2.1.1.1. Geography and Climate
(1). Geography
Based on planning land use for Long tho Commune :
 63.51% of the commune is located on top of the alluvial deposit, with an area of
1,541.81 ha
 29.10% of the commune is located on top of marine sediment rocks, with an
area of 706.53 ha
The basic geography is divided in these 3 categories :
 High terrains: toward the West of the Districts, along the 319 road toward
Provincial War Memorial. 3 – 80 slope with solid foundation, suitable for planting
long-growth plants such as rubber, fruit frees, cashew nut, or constructing industrial
zones
 Medium terrains: toward the East of Road 19, the transition zone between the hills
and mangrove areas, <30 slopes. Suitable for residential areas, garden and rice farming
 Is affected by tides, and have weak foundations for construction. Suitable for
mangroves or agricultural farming.
In general the terrain slop toward South West, with the highest terrain in North East
50-55m, while the low land in South West, 5-10 m
(2). Climate
The high temperatures around the years are suitable for plant growing and farming
 The average annual temperature is 270C, highest at April with 27.30 – 30.7˚C, and
lowest at December at 24.80C. Max recorded temperature is 380C while min is 180C.
The variety of temperatures during wet season is 5.5 - 80C, and dry season is 5 - 120C.
 The humidity around the year is around 78 – 81.4%, with 85 – 93% during rainy
season, and 68 - 83% during dry season. Peak humidity at 95% and lowest at 50%
 Rainfall is from 1,800 to 2,300 mm annually. Rainfall is not distributed evenly with
really high rainfall during August, September, October, some month even reach 500
mm per month. The dry season from November to April only have 10% of the whole
year rainfall, with months like February may not even have rain. Due to the
geography, the regional agriculture depends almost on rain, with vegetables farming
on the hill and 1-2 rice farming seasons a year
 Wind direction: have two main wind directions separate by seasons. During rain
season, the wind flow toward South West, during dry season, wind flow North East40
ward. There are some transition periods where winds blow East or South East. Wind
speed is around 2.1-2.5 m/s, and peak at 25 m/s. The region is affected little by storms
 The statistics in 5 years below includes: temperatures and humidity (from Bien Hoa
station), rainfall (from Long thanh Station)
 Average temperature through the year in Dong Nai is in table below.

(3). Surface water
Wastewater from Nhon Trach IP – Module 2 will be discharged through Lo Ren
Discharge point, into Mareng Canal, before finally being discharged into Thi Vai
River. At Rach Mieu Section, the Ma reng flowrate is <2 m3/s during dry season, and
<10 m3/s during wet/rain season.
2.1.1.2. River and Open Water Network
Thi Vai River is the wastewater receiving body for all of Nhon Trach 3’s wastewater.
The river has a length of 76 km, start from Long Thanh Commune toward Chau thanh,
before meet the South China Sea at Rach Gai Bay. Downstream, the river joins with
42
Saigon- Dong Nai at some sections. The average river width is 400 – 650 m, depth at
22 m, with the lowest depth at 60 m.
River flowrate mixed with flood is peaked at 3,400 m3/s, with river with tide reverse
flow peaked with tide at 2,300 m3/s. River flowrate during wet season is around 350 –
400 m3/s and during dry season is around 200 m3/s. The minimum recorded flowrate
is 40 – 50 m3/s. The highest river speed could reach 1.5 m/s. Thi Vai River based on
Dong nai Province planned landuse, is for aquaculture farming.
Tides: rise at 4-9 am, and 4-11 pm. The tide falls from 9am-4 pm and 11pm-4am. Thi
Vai River is heavily affected by tide, and shows sign of being heavily polluted. The
project location is 24 m above Thi vai River level, hence won’t be affected by tide
2.1.2. Socio-economic Conditions
2.1.2.1. Existing Socio-economic Conditions
According to the report on socio-economic development and public security and
defense, year 2011 of Long tho commune, the socio-economic conditions are
summarized as follows:
(1). Agriculture
 Total cultivation land area was 270 ha, including:
+ Rice land: 95/90 ha, equally to 1065 of the planned target. The yield is 3.5 tons to
4.5 tons per ha. Various anti-pesticide rice species were introduced, including
OM4900, OM6162, MTL 110, and Bac Thom…
+ Vegetable land: 155/150 ha, equally to 103% of the planned target due to expansion
of vegetable land along Cau Mit canal. The productivity is 30 tons to 40 tons,
generating stable income of 25 to 35 million VND per ha, minus the investment cost.
+ Cassava: reduces to 20 ha comparing to 30 ha planned, equally to 67%, mainly on
the planned land of committed projects.
 Agricultural promotion: VNd 80 million was invested to develop 2,000 m2
vegetable land but the efficiency is not high due to lack of in-glass door vegetable
nurturing experience. The Economy Department is introducing a new model. 7
excellent farmers are trained on vegetable cultivation at the provincial agricultural
promotion center. Training course was hold at cooperative teams, attracting 30
trainees.
 Husbandry: The livestock herd is reducing due to narrowing glass land. There were
480 cow heads, reducing 50 heads comparing to that of 2010. The buffalo drove had
50 heads while the pig flock has 1,570 heads. The chicken and duck herd has 1,500
heads at household-scale.
 Aquaculture: 45 ha intensive shrimp rearing land was closed due to epidemic
disease of 45-year young shrimp.
(2). Trade and Service
43
So far, the commune has 296 business households in food processing, trading, food
supply, accommodation services, internet service, increasing 24 households comparing
to that of previous year. 161 households registered to tax department, increasing 71

2.2. CHARACTERISTICS OF RECEIVING WATERS
2.2.1. Discharge location
Wastewater after being treated is directed through Lo Ren canal, and then continues
flowing into Ma Reng canal and its sub-canals, before being discharged into the
upstream section of Thi Vai River (the section along Long Tho commune, Nhon
Trach, Dong Nai)
The discharge point of Lo Ren Canal (near Lo Ren Bridge) is coordinated At (VN2000
coordinate system):
+ X: 1.184.745 m.
+ Y: 413.438 m.
The location of receiving waters with nearby area is shown in appendix.

2.2.3.1. Industrial Sources
Wastewater after treatment of Nhon Trach 3 IP is directed into Lo Ren Canal, then
mixed with wastewater from Formosa section of Industrial Park and the Long Tho
Commune (Hiep Phuoc). This continues to flow southeast down the slope across
terrain, receiving wastewater from residential areas along the canal, before running
through Ma Reng Canals and finally being discharged into upper Thi Vai.
2.2.3.2. Agricultural Sources
In addition to industrial wastewater, the regional agricultural activities also contribute
significant amounts of discharges into the Thi Vai River. Currently the main
agriculture activities here are quite diverse: fishing, animal livestock, horticulture….
But the majority of wastewater is still generated by aquaculture activities (farming
black tiger shrimp, white shrimp, and other types of fishes). The farming areas are
distributed across Long Phuoc, Phuoc Thai Communes (Long Thanh - Dong Nai),
Long Tho and Phuoc An Communes (Nhon Trach - Dong Nai) and My Xuan
commune, Phu My town (Tan Thanh, Ba Ria - Vung Tau). This type of wastewater
from shrimp farming arises mainly after the shrimps were harvested. As the farmers
live on both sides of river banks often works in small scale/ household business (about
1-2 ha in farming area), they simply can’t afford an appropriate treatment system for
these wastewater. The wastewater from shrimp farming, include ponds water with
food scraps, wastes, and used biotic; is currently being discharged directly into the Thi
Vai River without treatment.
According to survey data of Le Van Thu - Project "Investigation and proposing
solutions for the development and protection of mangrove ecosystems in Long Thanh Nhon Trach" in 2005; the mangroves areas in two districts of Long Thanh and Nhon
50
Trach, have a total area of shrimp farming is 782.64 ha. This generate an amount of
wastewater approximate 9000-12000 m3/ha. In another words, the total volume of
wastewater from aquaculture activities discharged into Thi Vai river is estimated at
7,043,760 to 9,391,680 m3/farming season (or 58,698 to 93,917 m3/day due to a 100120 days/farming season). However, most of these wastewater is discharged only after
being harvested (after around 3-4 months) so there is always a concentrated amount of
discharge by the end of this period rather than distributed evenly into daily.
2.2.3.3. Domestic Uses Sources
In addition to the industrial and agricultural wastewater, the wastewater from nearby
residential areas also should be mentioned. The demographic of those residential areas:
Long Phuoc and Phuoc Thai Communes (Long Thanh - Dong Nai Districts ), Hiep
Phuoc, Long Tho and Phuoc An Communes (Nhon Trach -Dong Nai Districts), in
addition to Xuan My Commune and Phu My town (Tan Thanh district, Ba Ria-Vung
Tau District) are as follows.

Standard wastewater discharge per capital of households with sewer system, but
without bathroom is ranged from 90-120 liters/capital/day (Nguyen Trung Viet, 2005).
If apply that to the residents along Thi Vai River with a population of 67,531 residents,
the daily discharged wastewater can be estimated at 6078-8104 m3.
However, at present, these residential areas still either does not connect to public
sewer systems, or connect to an incomplete system. This means the majority of these
51
domestic wastewaters are still left to run-off and eventually infiltrate into the grounds.
That’s why the amount of discharged wastewater directly into Thi Vai River from this
source can be considered negligible.
2.2.4. Nearby Water Supply Intake (within 3 km downstream)
The water quality of nearby open water source is much lower than the requirement for
water supply source (mostly due to salinity) . Therefore the main use of them is for
river transportation and aquaculture.
Along the Mareng and Lo ren, there is no water supply intake structure. Only the
residents lives near the meet between Mareng and Thi vai working in fishing, and no
river water was used for farming .
3km downstream of Thi Vai (from Mareng discharge point), there’s also no river water
intake sites, even for industrial or aquaculture purposes.
2.3. CURRENT ENVIRONMENT STATUS

showed mostly meet the standard, except the level of As is 1.6 times higher than the
required standard.
2.3.5. Ecological Environment
2.3.5.1. Flora
(1). Long Thanh – Nhon Trach Mangrove Forest
Long Thanh – Nhon Trach mangrove forest is distributed along two banks of Thi Vai
River where there are lots of habitat of typical floral species of the mangrove forest,
playing significant role in maintaining eco-balance in the area. There are total 261
floral species of 61 families and 184 branches. They belong to Magnolyophyta,
Magnolyopsida and Liliopsida.
Long Thanh – Nhon Trach mangrove forest is in the submerged land of the province,
contributing to stabilize deposited alluvium, forming a protective wall, preventing
river mouth erosion which is caused by tidal and other activities. The mangrove forest
plays significant roles in maintaining the eco-balance, including alluvium transporting
and movement of plankton, balancing fish and shrimp larva resources. The mangrove
forest is managed by Long Thanh Farm, covering the area of 4 communes: Phuoc An,
Long Tho (Nhon Trach district) and Phuoc Thai, Long Phuoc (Long Thanh district).
The inland waterway transport system is densely in the forest area, favorable to
transport and ecotourism development. It is estimated that the total natural area of
Long Thanh – Nhon Trach mangrove forest is 7,952.67ha, comprising:
 7,060 ha in Nhon Trach district (4,036 ha with forest trees and 3,024 ha without
forest trees).
60
 1,467 ha in Long Thanh district.
(a). Plant Plankton
The salinity-polluted zone is affected by industrial wastes. Number of species in this
zone is less diversified, comprising 29 species where Bacillariophyta is dominated
with 17 species or 58.6% of 10 families; following by Chlorophyta with 6 species or
20.7%, belonging to 6 families; Cyanophyta with 4 species (13.8%) of 4 families;
Chrysophyta with one species (3.4%); and Euglenophycota with 1 species (3.4%). The
average density is 19,000 to 45,000 individuals per 1 litter.
(b). Zoo Plankton and Zoo Benthos
In the salinity polluted zones which are affected by industrial wastes, Copepoda
species are dominated with 11 species, 20 initials per liter; following by Rotifer – 2
species, 8 individuals per liter, Protozoa – 5 species, 7 individuals per liter, Cladocera
– 11 species – 3 individuals per liter and larva – 38 individuals per liter.
(c). Crustacean
19 valuable shrimp species are identified, especially Penaeus indicus, Metapenaeus
ensis; Metapenaeus lyssianassa Metapenaeus spinulatus is an important species in
intensive rearing ponds in Long thanh and Nhon Trach. Scylla serrata crab is also
exploited in mangrove forest. Regarding Penaeud monodon, the rearing has been
developed rapidly.
(d). Mollusk
There are some mollusk species in Thi Vai River which are exploited to nurture duck
and fish. They shall be further studied to maintain these valuable natural resources.
(2). Terrestrial Ecosystem
The local terrestrial ecosystem is characterized as follows:
(a). Species
Characteristics of species in Thi Vai River are shown in Table 20.
(b). Species Coverage
 139 species have small coverage, sharing 53%, distributed in incident-occurred
zones or used to be densely community.
 86 species have average coverage, sharing 33% which are mixed groups in the
community, having characteristics of dominated species.
61
 37 species have high coverage, sharing 14%, which are dominated species in
riverside forest, of which, Rhizophora apiculata is dominated.
(c). Value
 13 salt-water species distributed along canals, river banks in tidal inundation
zones. Salt water species trees are planted or wild trees in fertilizer land along the
river;
 123 valuable tree species: green coverage, erosion-prevention, organic fertilizer,
etc.
 86 species used as medical herbs; 6 vegetable species
 34 species as bonsai tree
 62 wooden tree species
 44 fruit tree species.
2.3.5.2. Aquatic Ecosystem (Zoo and Plant Plankton, Zoo Benthos)
(1). Zoo Plankton
The survey results of past years show that there are replacement of various species
such as substitution of Cartia clausi, Paracalanus parvus and shrimp larva by Oithona
plumifera and nauplius.
(2). Plant Plankton
The survey results show there are structure variations of individuals by dominant
species. When the plants were not developed in Nhon Trach III IP, algae species are
dominated, including Chaetoceros, Pseudocurvicetus, C. Spinosus, Skeletonema
costatum, Ditylum sol and Coscinodiscus jonessiacus. When the plants are operating,
silica algae species are dominated, including Chaetoceros abnormis, Nitzchia
longissima, and especially Lepto-cylindiscus danicus.
(3). Zoo Benthos
The river bed covers with gravel and stiff clay. Main zoo benthos species are
Anthozoa, Spongia, Holothurian. There are Sedentaria or Terebellidesstroemi Sars,
Sabllearia cenentarium Moore, Sternaspis sactata (Rosami) along the river bank.

CHAPTER 3
EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVES
3.1. CRITERIA FOR SELECTING ALTERNATIVES
 Any of the alternative solutions still have to meet the national regulation QCVN
40:2011/BTNMT.
 The discharge point have to ensure the discharge need, while avoid the negative
impacts toward the environments and the local public.
 Sludge from the treatment system has to be treated as hazardous wastes, and avoid
impacts toward the environment.
3.2. LOCATIONS OF OUTLETS
The purpose of the choosing the exist location of outlet is 1) To utilize the exist
infrastructure of Nhon Trach 3 IP; 2) To save the construction cost; 3) The exits
location of outlet is suitable with the real condition. Wastewater from Nhon Trach 3
IP – Module 2 will use the existing (Module 1) discharge network. Therefore, the
location of Module 2 discharge 2 will be unchanged.
3.3. WASTEWATER TREATMENT TECHNOLOGY
Treatment efficiency of the treatment plant (Module 1) is very effective. The results
from earlier treatment can be seen in Table 26 and 27 as below, while the up-to-date
results 05/ 2012) were already presented in table below:

All of the sludge from Nhon Trach 3, Phase 2, centralized CETP will be compacted
into blocks and landfilled by Tai Tien Co.Limited.
The technology used by Tai Tien is already been approved by the MONRE under
license No 132/TCMT dated 01/12/2010 through the project earlier EIA report, and
the DONRE under Document 1197/SKHCN-QLC dated 9/0/2011 (attached with the
Appendix)
Just like the waste water treatment technology, after considering the positive results
from the treatment of hazardous wastes generated from Module, the project owners
have chose the same Tai Tien contractor to deal with the hazardous wastes of Module
2.

IMPACTS ASSESSMENT OF WASTEWATER DISCHARGE
INTO RECEIVING WATER BASIN
4.1. EFFECTS ON WATER QUALITY
4.1.1. Pollution Load
At the maximum load of 2,000 m3/day, the pollutant load can be estimated as follows:

Note: The average pollutant concentration is measured 15/05/2012 (1st sample at
10:35am; 2nd sample at 13:15, 3rd sample at 16:20)
4.1.2. Assessment on the Impacts on Receiving Sources
Based on the calculation of Table 28, after the Module 2 start operating, a flow of
2,000 m3/ day will contribute into Mareng Canal flow. This equivalent to 31.6 kg
TSS, 14 kg BOD5, 104 kg COD, 0.76 kg ammonia and 0.36 kg Total iron
Thi Vai river water is not utilized for domestic water supply but only for waterway
transport, irrigation and aquaculture among other. QCVN 08:2008/BTNMT column
B2 (the National Technical Regulation on Surface Water Quality) is applied to
evaluate the water quality.
Polluted wastewater can cause the following impacts when it is discharged to the
environment:
 Increase turbidity of the river flow due to SS; alter photosynthetic efficiency and
reduce DO in the surface water. Suspended solid could be deposited at the outlet,
altering the river flow, river depth and hydraulic conditions. Organic sludge
depositing also causes oxygen deficient, forming toxic gases like H2S, CH4, etc. If
the receiving source is not cleaned properly, the water will be changed to black
and smelly.
 Increase organic pollution load (BOD5, COD), increasing organic and inorganic
compound oxidization, reducing DO concentration in the water.
69
 Increase nutrients in the water (total N, total P), causing eutrophication
 Reduce load bearing and purifying capacity of the river.
 Affect to drinking and production water quality.
 Affect to load bearing and purifying capacity of receiving sources.
As Mareng Canal is quite short (1.5 km) with small slope, and is under affected by
tide, the disperse of pollutants toward downstream from Mareng is slow. Furthermore
this river section also receives a 5,000 m3/day from hung Nghiep Formosa Co.Lmited,
that’s why the self-mechanism is overall limited. Especially when Mareng is the only
discharge road from project site toward the main river (Thi Vai)
As the project treated wastewater will join other discharged sources toward Thi Vai
river. That’s why the negative impacts of the project toward Thi Vai will be presented
more detail in Section 4.7 “Accumulated and integrated Impacts”
4.2. EFFECTS ON ENVIRONMENT AND AQUATIC ECOSYSTEM
 Increase turbidity, reduce DO, affecting to photosynthesis efficiency, altering
number of aquatic species in the water.
 Impact on food chain of the ecosystem.
 If the river could not purified water will be polluted by organic substance and
nutrients, affecting seriously to aquatic life, reducing biodiversity (species number
and density), etc. narrowing habitat of small animal species in mangrove forest.
 Pollution of nutrients: Proper nutrient content will promote algae growing
adequately in the food cycle. However, if it increases significantly eutrophication
will occur, causing organic pollution.
 Nitrogen Impacts:
+ Toxic to fish at high concentration
+ Small NH3 concentration and NO3- are nutrients to algae growth.
+ Conversion of NH4+ to NO3- needs large volume of DO.
 Impacts of Phosphorus:
Phosphorus is an essential nutrient for algae growth. High concentration will promote
algae growth. When algae died it will be organic food for bacteria, altering oxygen
content, causing fish dead.
 Organic Substance Pollution: reduce DO, threatening to fish and other aquatic
species.
Impacts of wastewater discharge to mangrove forests (Long Thanh – Nhon Trach and
Can Gio district) are not considered yet.

4.3. EFFECTS ON HYDROLOGY
Ma reng Canal flow volume is around 2 m3/s during dry season and increase to
<10m3/s during flooding season. The wastewater volume of Nhon Trach 3 IP
Treatment Plant is about 2,000 m3/day and night, equally to 0.023 m3/s which will not
increase the water flow or the change hydraulic regime of Thi Vai River even during
dry season.
4.4. EFFECTS ON AIR
The maximum capacity of Module 2 of the wastewater treatment facility of Nhon
Trach 3 IP, Phase 2 is 2.000 m3/day. They could emit odor, H2S, Hydrocarbons,
Mercaptan among others affecting to areas near the outlet. However currently there is
no detected odour from the Nhon Trach 3 IP Treatment Plant’s discharges, and was
reflected through the surveying of residents living along Mareng Canal. Hence it can
be concluded that the discharge wastewater does not affect local air quality.
Obviously, the discharge from the Treatment Plant will be really small compare to Thi
Vai River flowrate even during dry season (0.023 m3/s vs. 10 m3/s). So the affect
toward Thi vai also minimum
4.5. IMPACTS OF RISK AND ACCIDENTS
The effluent is quite large at 2,000 m3/day of the treatment facility could cause river
bank erosion. The large effluent may also disturb the river flow, affect small canoe
navigation in the outlet area. However as the addition discharge is only 0.23 m3/s
while the canoe trip record here is small, just 2-3 canoes travelling on the Canal a day,
therefore the affect should be minimal
4.6. SOCIAL-ECONOMIC AND DOWNSTREAM WATER USE IMPACTS
Wastewater from the treatment facility contains organic substances (BOD5, and
COD), causing turbidity increase in Thi Vai River water, offensive odor at the outlet.
The effluent discharge can affect to socio-economic as follows:
The discharge of treated waste water into Mareng and Thi vai river more or less will
impact on the economical activities of residents living along the river. However at this
moment, the local government still has not received any complaints from the residents
within the affected areas. The impact is analysed generally to be low considering the
discharge rate of only 2,000 m3/day and waste water quality meeting the QCVN
40:2011/BTNMT column B (kq=1.1; kf =1.0)
71
4.7. CUMULATIVE IMPACTS
Thi Vai River is the final wastewater receiving source of Nhon Trach 3 IP. As
mentioned before, the river water is not used for drinking purpose. The effluent, thus,
have met TCVN 5945:2005 column B, Kq=1.1 and Kf depending on the discharge
volume of the industries (pursuant to Appendix 1 of Decision No. 65/2007/QD-UBND
dated December 11, 2007 of Dong Nai PC on environmental zoning for surface water
basin to receive industrial wastewater..
At this moment, Thi vai river is the receiving body for the waste water from Nhon
Trach IPs (1, 2 & 3, Clothing IP), Go Dau IP (Long Thanh District), and Phu My 1
(Ba Ria –Vung Tau Province). The intake for water supply form Thi vai river is small,
with slow river speed, and narrow basin. As the river is heavily affected by tides, the
mixing rate of river is slow, and the flow toward the sea is small. That’s why the
wastewater from Nhon Trach 3 will cause some problematic negative impacts towards
the basin if is not treated properly.
However, the effluent is small compared to the river flow and the wastewater is
treated in compliance with Vietnam environmental standard so the impact is
insignificant.
To analyse the accumulated impacts of the project toward Mareng canal and Thi Vai
River, we will have to analyse the discharge receiving capacity of Mareng and Thi
Vai. The assessment will be based on Circular 02/2009/TT-BTNMT dated 19/3/2009
of the MONRE
The wastewater of the project has to meet the national regulation on industrial
discharge: QCVN 40:2011/BTNMT (column B), Kq=1.1, Kf=1.0, before being
allowed to discharge into Mareng and Thi Vai

5.1.3.2. Air Environment Impact Mitigation Measures
(1). General Measures to Minimize Air Pollution
The investor will take the following measures to minimize air pollution and impacts
on worker’s health in the operation process:
 To develop the centralized wastewater treatment system in compliance with
regulations on safety and industrial sanitation, meeting the ventilation standard by
natural wind and forced fan.
 To clean the wastewater treatment zone properly
(2). Air Pollution Mitigation at the Centralized CETP
1). Use of Bio-Products
If offensive arises, odor bio-products such as GEM-P, GEM-K, GEM, CTA-T will be
used to minimize offensive odor from waste storage yard, sludge yard, etc.
2). Odor Oxidization
Odors will be deoxidized by strong oxidizers such as H2O2 or Ozone. H2O2 will be
periodically electrolyzed to treat odor. Ozone generator may be installed to process
odor. Ozone generator has been applied widely to deoxidize odor in Vietnam.
(3). Air Pollution Control from Traffic Air Emission
The investor will take appropriate measures to control air pollution from traffic,
including:
 Concretise inner plant roads and clean roads properly; install auto-water spraying
system to water the roads effectively
 To turn off transport vehicle while waiting in the plant
 To regularly maintain and inspect vehicles
(4). Noise Control Measures
The investor will take following measures to reduce noise the operation process:
 To install rubber buffer and anti-vibration spring for heavy loading equipments;
 To separate intensive noise sources (200 mm thick wall, 100 mm buffer zone,
heavy wooden door, etc.);
80
 To regularly maintain equipment properly: the maintenance cycle is in every 4—6
months for branch new equipment and in every 3 months for the old equipment;
 Plant trees to mitigate noise dispersion.
(5). Mitigation of Heat Residue
Temperature will exceed the allowable standard from 1 – 30C in the CETP in sunny
days. Ventilation will be designed properly. Drinks will be provided to workers.
5.1.3.3. Solid Waste Impact Mitigation
The company got the hazardous waste owner registration book No. 587/SĐK-TNMT
dated November 5, 2010, hazardous solid waste management code No. 75001375
When the second module is developed completely the solid waste treatment contract
will be signed with the following agencies:
 Domestic solid waste: The company signed the contract with Bay Ha Long Co.,
Ltd to collect the domestic solid waste properly (attached with the solid waste
collection contract).
 Hazardous Solid Waste: The company continues singing the contract with Tai Tien
Co. Ltd. To collect and transport hazardous solid waste properly.
5.1.3.4. Sludge Impact Mitigation Measures
Sludge generated at the centralized wastewater treatment facility will be collected and
treated by signing the contract with Tai Tien Co., Ltd.
(1). Collection and transport processes
Hazardous sludge from the CETP of Nhon Trach 3 IP – Module 2 will be contracted
with Tai Tien Co Limited to collect, transport and treat appropriately as below:
 Hazardous sludge after was pumped and compressed is marked hazardous and
stored separately in hazardous wastes warehouse
 Periodically, Tai Tien Co Limited will bring their own vehicles to collect, and
travel back with this path: Nhon Trach 3 IP  25B Provincial road  51 national
road  Thai Lan 3-way crossroads  Trang Bom  1A national road  Tay Hoa
District  Tai Tien hazardous treatment plant (Nhan Hoa commune, Tay Hoa
District).
(2). Sludge Treatment Technology at Tai Tien Ltd. Co.
 Sludge from the wastewater treatment system currently contracted with Tai Tien
Ltd. Co. and will be treated as below:
 The dried and dewatered sludge contains hazardous substances will be mixed with
cement, then compressed into blocks to reduce pollution disperse into the
81
environment. As cement has high alkalinity, the heavy metals will kept under
hydroxide or carbonate salts.
 The compressing often also often include Ca(OH)2 solution (to increase its acidity),
or coal slag. Coal slag and Ca(OH)2 can stabilize As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Pb, Mg, Se, Ag,
Zn…The blocks will then be landfilled under required standard inside the treatment
plant border, rather than hand it to third party.
 The % of mixing based on mass is as below:

5.7. CAPACITY BUILDING
To build the capacity of the project, the owner will carry out these measures:
 Workers working on-site will be frequently trained to deal with fire and explosionsrelated situations
 Train and assign tasks/ measures to mitigate the effect when the treatment plant
encounters failure. This situation would also can be avoided by frequent maintenance
and repairing of all equipments, machines onsite (the maintenance workers have to be
trained and skillful at the job)
 Provide the workers all safety information about the plant. In the same time, the
company will cooperate with Work Safety Office and Dong Nai Department of
Labour- Invalids and Social Affairs to set up a safety guide for every step of the plant
operation and allow the workers to understand their own responsibilities of the site’s
safety.
A comprehensive training and capacity building program is outlined in the project’s
ESMF and will be implemented in the Nhon Trach 3 IZ. It has been reviewed by the
IZA and considered to be appropriate in scope for the needs of the IZ. During project
implementation the EMP will be further updated with specific training needs if these
are identified, above and beyond what will be covered in the standard program.

Based on the survey as above, few key points can be summed up as below:
 Most people agree with the construction of the CETP for Nhon Trach 3- Phase 2
(Module 2). Most of the others have no comments on the issues
 Many residents faced the issues of flooding from the canal during rainfall, and
expected the project owners to have counter-measures for this problem
Project investors comments:
Currently the flooding issues at Long Tho Commune is caused by the discharge of
Nhon Trach 6 IP, Nhon Trach Clothing IP,and current Nhon Trach 3 especially during
high rainfall.
However, based on industrial parks planning, Nhon Trach 6 IP and Nhon Trach
Clothing IP discharges will soon going through the discharge road at Suoi Can Bridge
and Cai Sinh Canal, once the pipe network there constructed, hence relieve the
flowrate through Mareng Canal (and reduce the flood issues here). Currently, the Cai
Sinh Canal project have already been proposed by Nhon Trach People Committee and
Dong Nai Department of Infrastructure and Planning to Dong Nai People Committee
for fundings in fourth quarter of 2012, and start construction in early 2013.
