(1) Background and Necessity of the Project Background of the Project Vietnam is a long and narrow country running over 1,600 km from north to south, and connected with National Route 1 running along the coast line, National Route 14 & 15 running along the boundary of Laos and Cambodia, and a single rail line. The development of Expressway network linking Capital city of Hanoi in north, Da Nang in center, and Ho Chi Minh in south, is crucial to support Vietnam’s rapidly expanding economic activities and to enable a balanced growth of the nation. The importance of developing the North-South Expressway was confirmed at the meeting between Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung and Prime Minister Shintaro Abe in November 2006, and agreed that the Government of Japan is to assist a development of the segment with high traffic volume in particular. In October 2010 at the summit meeting between Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung and Prime Minister Naoto Kan., the Government of Japanese determined to consider a support for the development of Expressway between Ninh Binh and Bai Vot, and Nha Trang and Phan Thiet. And following October 2011, the summit meeting between Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung and Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda, has been reinforced to consider continuously in the future. Under the Prime minister decision No.140/QD-TTg issued on 21st January 2010 Approval of a master plan for the North-South Expressway, the Ninh Binh - Bai Vot Segment and Nha Trang Phan Thiet of the North-South Expressway have been identified as the prioritized segment and to be constructed by the year 2014 and 2015 respectively. However due to a large sum of debt from another Expressway construction project, further studies of greater accuracy are required before it can be considered for construction commencement. (2) Needs of the Project The Government of Vietnam and Ministry of Transport (MOT) has identified the Ninh Binh - Bai Vot Segment of the North-South Expressway as one of prioritized sections of the Expressway to be developed by 2015. A pre-feasibility study has been conducted on the Segment, and further studies of greater accuracy are required before it can be considered for construction commencement. By the completion of segment between Cau Zie- Ninh Binh which is currently under construction, the segment between Hanoi- Cau Zie which is going to commence shortly , and the segment to be constructed by this 1 project, Capital city Hanoi and cities in North central region such as Tinh Thanh Hoa and Vinh will be connected. A single journey currently taking 6 to 8 hours for the segment (approximately 300 km) of Hanoi-Ninh Binh- Bai Vot on Route 1 takes, is expected to get significantly shorten and contribute to the growth of North central region. In addition, the arterial road of Route 8 (Bai Vot) connecting Vietnam and Laos will be also linked and expected to contribute international logistics (3) Objective of the Project The project aims to develop the approximately 218 km of Expressway between Ninh Binh and Bai Vot through, with following objectives. 1. Travel hour of approximately 300 km between Hanoi - Ninh Binh - Bai Vot, is shorten from 6-8 hours journey to 3-4 hours. This enables to make a day trip between Hafnoi – Vinh. 2. The development forms a core trunk road of Vietnam, which will grow hub cities in North central regions such as Vinh and contribute a balanced national development. 3. Three provinces of Ninh Binh , Thanh Hoa, and Nghe Anh on route of the Ninh Binh-Bai Vot Expressway, have a vision to shift its industrial structure from agriculture and move to industry and trade, and grown out from the poverty by the year 2020. The expressways will contribute the growth of cities through enabling transportation of industrial raw material and products, as well as attracting tourists. 4. The expressway will boost several large scale development plans which Japan has been one of major donor such as Nghi Son Economic Zone, industrial estates, and deep water port. This will support Japanese companies as well as contribute to the growth of regions along the proposed expressway development. 5. International Logistic between Hanoi- Laos- Bangkok will be encouraged 6. The expressway will divert increase traffic on National Highway No 1 which will ease existing traffic congestion as well as contribute to the improvement of traffic safety in the region. 7. The expressway wi1l function as the trunk life line in the region which also can respond in the emergency such as flood. 8. Employment will be generated at cement factories and related companies located in the project area. 2 2. Concept of the Project Formation Followings concepts are adopted for the project formation. 1. The results of the feasibility study currently conducted by the Government of Vietnam are maximized and insufficient information will be supplemented for the high feasibility of project. 2. The appropriate construction structure for the long bridge and tunnel requiring high level technical requirement will be examined and proposed based on the baseline survey conducted toward experts. 3. The project is detailed to minimize the environmental impact of the expected large scale land acquisition and resettlement. Stake holder meetings are organized to confirm resident opinion to the project and avoid the land acquisition and resettlement to constrain the project implementation. 4. Based on a traffic volume survey and analysis conducted, examine the financial and economic feasibility of the project and draw required suggestions. 3.

Evaluation was conducted on the basis of transport demand forecast. This transport demand forecast was conducted for two cases i.e., “With” and “Without”. Basic Cost In the evaluation, the two basic parameters 1) Travel Time Cost (TTC) and 2) Vehicle Operating Cost (VOC) were set as follows: a) Travel Time Cost (TTC) Table 3 TTC Values (2011 price) Type of Vehicle Time Value per Vehicle (VND/hour/vehicle) Car 64,080 Bus 135,5440 Medium & Heavy Bus 365,970 Source: JETRO Study 2008 revised by Study Team 4 b) Vehicle Operating Cost (VOC) Table 4 VOC Values (2011 price) Speed (km/hour) Car Bus 5 6,492 8,649 16,791 10 3,942 5,407 10,279 20 2,581 3,669 6,937 30 2,111 2,882 5,259 40 1,840 2,482 4,471 50 1,730 2,364 4,164 60 1,748 2,404 4,092 70 1,670 2,356 3,832 80 1,884 2,703 4,559 Truck 90 2,009 2,946 4,844 Source: JETRO Study 2008 revised by Study Team Construction Cost, Land Acquisition Cost and Operation/Maintenance Cost The basic presumptions are being assumed in conducting the economic evaluation as follows. ・ Escalation factor: Price inflation was not taken into account for either construction cost or operation/maintenance cost. ・ Tax and import duty: All taxes such as VAT and import duty were excluded. ・ Land acquisition cost: Land acquisition cost was excluded. Construction cost and operation/maintenance cost were set up in each stage of the project implementation for each of north section and south section. User Benefit Estimate On the basis of unit TTC, unit VOC, and transport demand forecast, economic evaluation was conducted from the viewpoint of user benefit. These values were estimated on the basis of the traffic demand forecast on a daily basis corresponding to 3 cases such as; Case-1 for 500 VND/km fare rate, Case-2 for 1,000 NVND/km Case-3 for 1,200 VND/km. Results of the Economic Evaluation Based on the results of the user benefits and cost estimates shown in the above section, introduction of toll expressway was evaluated in terms of EIRR, CBR and NPV within the assumed project implementation period of 30 years as follows. 5 Table 5 Result of the Economic Analysis (North Section) Case 1 Case 2 Case 3 (500VND / km) (500VND / km) (500VND / km) EIRR(%) 18.2 15.8 14.8 CBR 1) 1.8 1.5 1.4 NPV(million JPY) 1) 56,228 35,095 25,475 Evaluation Item 1) Adopted discount rate is 12.0% Source: Study Team Table 6 Result of the Economic Analysis (South Section) Case 1 Case 2 Case 3 (500VND / km) (500VND / km) (500VND / km) EIRR(%) 21.4 16.4 14.6 CBR 1) 2.3 1.6 1.3 NPV(million JPY) 1) 98.411 47,831 26,631 Evaluation Item 1) Adopted discount rate is 12.0% Source: Study Team 2) Financial Evaluation The financial performance of each of Case 1, Case 2 and Case 3 was examined based on the financial cash flow for the project implementation of toll expressway construction. Financial viability is examined from the financial viewpoints such as financial internal rate of return. Presumptions Adopted Basic presumptions adopted in the financial evaluation are as follows: a) Project Costs Construction costs and operation/maintenance costs were set up as inputs for financial evaluation. Some basic presumptions being assumed in conducting financial evaluation are as follows. ・ Escalation factor: Price inflation was not taken into account for either construction costs or operation/maintenance cost. ・ Tax and import duty: Those taxes were excluded. ・ Land acquisition cost: Land acquisition cost was included. b) Revenue Revenue was set up on the basis of the results of traffic demand forecast and fare rate. Escalation factor was not taken into account since the project cost did not include any price inflation. 6 c) Results Financial performances for Case 1, Case 2 and Case 3 without consideration of any financial scheme are shown in the following table as a summary.

Implementation Schedule Project implementation schedule widely reply on fund assistance scheme. With the consideration of project importance and urgency, the project has to be implemented as early as possible. This project has to be closely coordinated with PPP study currently being undertaken by World Bank and synchronized efforts among donor agencies and Vietnamese Government may be key issue on early commencement of the project. With due consideration of the these circumstances, land acquisitions to be started by middle of 2014 while detailed engineering design is on-going so that construction will begin by middle of 2015. The proposed implementation schedules for north and south section are shown in Table 12 and Table 13 respectively. Actual implementation schedule of above two sections largely rely on fund availability of the Vietnam Government and/or fund assistance from donor agencies. 8 Table 12 Proposed Implementation Schedule (North Section) Source: Study Team Table 13 Proposed Implementation Schedule (South Section) Source: Study Team 5. Feasibility on Project Implementation The project is approved the Prime Minister in the Vietnamese Expressway Development Master Plan. It is planned the commencement of operation from 2015 to 2020. It is seems that MOT is planning to utilize STEP loan for tunnel and long spanned bridge sections and utilize private capital investment and WB loan for the other sections. 9 6. Technical Advantages of Japanese Companies Japanese construction firms have technical advantages on the following construction works. (1) Tunnel Technology Japanese mountainous tunneling technology is developed by applying the most updated European technology with improvement based on Japanese high standard technology. For examples, not only tunnel face fore-search technology and AGF (long steel pipe fore poling), which are represented by the 3-dimensional tomography, but there are also method of blasting control for low noise low vibration and high-standard long range (more than 6 m) blasting method. It is evident that construction of large-scaled cross sectional tunnel such as 3-laned tunnel of 2nd Tomeishin Expressway tunnel was successful based on application of the aforementioned technologies. Consequently, it can be said that the technologies by Japanese companies are sufficient for project execution for construction of 3 lane tunnel in mountain area with complicated geological formation.. (2) Lam River Bridge (Steel Arch Bridge) In this project, a long span steel bridge for Lam River Bridge is proposed. Bridge type of Lam River Bridge is arch bridge and advanced Japanese technology which can apply to the bridge is shown as follows. Structure of steel arch bridge is simple, and economical construction can be realized by steel beam will be transported from Japan and fabrication by Vietnamese contractor. Japanese contractors have a lot of experience of the bridge type. Various construction methods can be selected on the consideration of safety, economically. Total weight (dead load) is comparably lighter than concrete bridge, hence, temporary work and support work can be simple and this entails shorten of construction period and augment construction safety. 7. Possible Risks against Realization of the Project Project preparatory study including preparation of EIA to be completed by the end of 2012 and consultant will be selected after loan agreement. Detailed engineering design to be commenced within 2014. Since in-depth feasibility study has already been undertaken by TEDI, project preparatory study can be carried out by reviewing and updating previous studies. Minimum one year is required for detailed design and construction can start by the end of 2015. Expressway is expected to be operational by 2019. 10 Risks that hinder the realization of the project may be; (1) Financial Capacity of Vietnam Government As discussed in Chapter 1, external debt of the government has reached 42.2% of GDP and huge amount of new loan commitment seems to be difficult. While Vietnam Government intends to utilize fund from private sector under PPP scheme, financial analysis of this study reveals that financial viability of the project is negative if private investor will solely rely on fare revenue of the expressway for recovery of their capital investment. There possibility in securing fund from private sector may be slim. Under such tight budget constraints, investment on road sector will be limited to the highest ranked projects only. The project shall be top ranked expressway among numerous expressway projects approved by Prime Minster. (2) Co-Financing Scheme and Coordination Skill of Vietnam Government It seems to be impossible to implement mega highway project that exceed 100 billion JPY with single fund source. Co-financing scheme that covers donor agencies like JICA, World Bank, and ADB including private sector in addition to Vietnam Government must be sought. Higher coordination skill of Vietnam Government that can negotiate and reach agreement with different stakeholders are required. (3) Land Acquisition and Resettlement Number of affect families identified in this study is 1,285 in North Section and 1,071 in South Section. Provincial party committee, an office in charge of land acquisition and relocation, has little experience in such large size of land acquisition and relocation. There might be a risk that project implementation may be seriously delayed due to delay in land acquisition and relocation. The donor agencies who extend financial assistance must also extend technical assistance to provincial party committee for capacity enhancement of the committee. 11 8.

Average annual growth rate is 1.6 percent during this period. Although this growth rate has declines to 1.2 % in recent years, population in 2012 is expected to exceed 90 million. 1.1.2 Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and Economic Growth in Real Terms According to Vietnam's economic statistics, GDP in 2008 was 165.839 trillion VND and per capita GDP was 1,064 USD as shown in Table 1-1. On the other hand, GNI per capita in 2009 was 1,010 USD International organizations including World Bank have upgraded Vietnam from "Low Middle-Income Country" to "Middle-Income Country" in December 2010 taking into consideration of Vietnam's economic growth in recent years.

Economic growth in the third quarter in 2011 has increased from 5.67 % to 6.11 % in second quarter but still lower than 7.18 % of previous year. Vietnam Government has promulgated Government Resolution No 11 in February 2011 regarding priority targets on control of inflation, macroeconomic stability and strengthening of social security. Vietnamese government economic policy has been in line with this resolution and target economic growth rate in 2011 was set as 6%. The IMF has decreased Vietnam’s forecasted economic growth rate in 2011, in its "World Economic Outlook" in October, from 6.0% in April to 5.8%. Similarly, ADB has also lowered, in "Asian Development Outlook", from 5.8% to 6.1%. However, the Vietnamese cabinet has agreed in August 2011that target economic growth rate to be 6.5% and will be presented to parliament in October(Monthly Report of Economic Team of Embassy of Japan in October 2011). 1.1.3 (1) National Budget and Prices National Budget Revenue of Vietnam Government has increased steadily in recent years due to stable economic growth. Percentage of total revenue in comparison with GDP is 25% in average since 2000. 1-2 Table 1-2 National Budget of Vietnam in Recent Years (Billion VND) 90.7 107.3 123.9 177.4 224.8 2005 (Est.) 224.1 Expenditure 103.2 119.4 148.2 178.5 221.8 237.4 286.8 320.7 Balance -12.4 -12.1 -25.6 -10.9 -7.9 -13.3 -17.2 -19.8 2000 Revenue 2001 2002 2003 2004 2006 (Est.) 269.6 2007 (Forecast) 281.9 Source: “Vietnam Economic Outline”, Japanese Embassy in Vietnam External debt of Vietnam as of 2010 became 32.5 billion USD that is 16.5% higher than previous year. This amount is equivalent to 42.2% of GDP and is also 3.2% higher than previous year. Composition of external debt is 27.9 billion USD of National Government and 4.6 billion USD of local government and state owned corporations (Ministry of Finance, August 2011). Under such circumstances, development projects in Vietnam shall be planned and implemented by restricting increase in debt. (2) Prices Figure 1-3 shows Consumer Price Index (CPI) in Vietnam between August 2008 and September 2011. Figure 1-3 Consumer Price Index (CPI) in Vietnam nam office of Vietnam Source: General Statistics Monthly Report of Japanese Embassy Economy Team in September and October 2011 reported that the CPI in September increased by 0.82% compare with previous month, less than 1.0% consecutive two months. CPI increase compare with same month of previous year recorded as 22.42% (16.33% increase compare with previous year end) that shows tendency of subsidence. Moreover, the CPI increasing rate in October recorded 1-3 0.36% that lower than 1.0% consecutive three month. IMF has also revised its prospect in its "World Economic Outlook”, that CPI to be 13.5% from previous 18.8% in April. ADB in its "Asian Development Outlook”, revised predicted inflation rate as 13.3% from 18.7% in April. However ADB noted that inflation rate of Vietnam is still highest among major Asian countries and Vietnam cabinet agreed in August that target inflation rate in 2012 to be less than 10% and to be discussed by Parliament in October 2011. 1.2 Overview of Road Sector 1.2.1 Road Classification and Road Administration System The Ministry of Transport (MOT) takes charge of construction and operation of national land transport, inland waterway and maritime transportation. MOT has two organizations related to Road Sector, such as Directorate for Roads of Vietnam (DRVN) and Expressway Management Office (EMO). DRVN is in charge of all roads excluding expressways. All the expressways are under Expressway Management Office (EMO). The EMO was newly established by MOT by decision No.633/QD-BGTVT dated April 1, 2011. The EMO will be further upgraded to Directorate of Expressway Viet Nam (DEVN) in the near future. MOT has obligation to submit the development strategy and construction plans of expressways to the Prime Minister. The Expressway Mater Plan submitted by MOT (Submission No.7056/TTr-BGTVT in May 2007) was approved by Prime Minister on December 1, 2008 (No.1734/QD-TTg) MOT has started update of design criteria (TCVN5729-1997) of expressways in 2007 that was formulated 14 years ago by reflecting lessons learnt from past expressway construction. In the 5th Vietnam Expressway Seminar which MOT and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism of Japan held in August 2011, the outline of new Expressway design criteria was presented by MOT. The objectives of the updating design criteria are; 1. Improvement of Safety 2. Reduction of Construction Cost 3. Reduction of Land Acquisition 4. Improvement of Conformity and Harmony with Vietnamese Topography and Locality 1.2.2 Expressway Development Plan Figure 1-4 shows expressway network proposed by MOT and approved by Prime Minister (No.1734/QD-TTg) that covers 23 routes with total length of 5,873 km. 1-4 Figure 1-4 Expressway Master Plan 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 Section Length(km) North-South Expressway 1,941 East(Phap Van – Can Tho) 457 West(Phu Tho – Pho Chau) West(Ngoc Hoi – Rach Gia) 864 North Expressway Lang Son – Bac Ninh 130 Hanoi – Hai Phong 105 Hanoi – Lao Cai 264 Hanoi – Mong Cai 294 Hano – Bac K n 90 Hanoi – H a Binh 56 Ninh Binh – Quang Ninh 160 Hanoi Ring road No.3 56 Hanoi Ring road No.4 125 Central and High land Expressway Hong Linh – Huong Son 34 Cam Lo – Lao Bao 70 Quy Nhon – Pleiku 160 South Expressway Dau Giay – Da Lat 209 Bien Hoa – Vung Tau 76 Ho Chi Minh – Chon Thanh 69 Ho Chi Minh – Moc Bai 55 Chau Doc – Can Tho 200 Ha Tien – Bac Lieu 225 Can Tho – Ca Mau 150 Ho Chi Minh Ring road No.3 83 Total 5,873 Lane 4-6 4-6 4-6 4-6 6 4-6 4-6 4-6 4-6 4 4-6 6-8 4 4 4 4 6 6-8 4-6 4 4 4 6-8 - Source:MOT 1.2.3 Expressway Under Operation and Construction Table 1-3 shows expressways under operation and construction in Vietnam. Only two expressway sections are currently operational in Hanoi with 29.5 km and Ho Chi Min with 39.5 km. Remaining eight expressway sections are still under construction or preparation. 1.2.4 Capital Investment for Expressway Development in Vietnam Table 1-5 shows capital investment plan of Vietnam Government for expressway development. MOT estimates that 40.5 billion USD is required for development of expressway network of 5,873 km. Of which, 19 billion USD for development of 1,870 km up to 2020 and 21.5 billion USD for 4,000 km after 2020. Most project fund for expressway currently under preparation will be secured from government funds, government-guaranteed corporate fund of State Owned Enterprise (SOE)and ODA assistance. However, for future expressway network development, the Vietnam government recognizes that practical use 1-5 of a private sector capital is indispensable, and is now preparing related laws and regulations for implementation with PPP scheme.

Source: Study Team As to BOT related laws and regulations, Decree No 108 (known as new BOT Act) was enacted in January 15, 2010 by amending Decree No 78 (known as former BOT Act) that was ended in 2007.Moreover, Regulation on Public-Private Partnership (trial PPP law) was approved on November 9, 2010, and was enforced on January 15, 2011. (1) The PPP Trial Law The PPP Trial Law is a transient law that is supposed to be enforced for three to five years until new Decree to replace the transient law. Probably because of the pilot, as reported in the newspaper that there is ambiguity or lack of content. One of the characteristics of PPP Trial Law, national support (VGF: Viability Gap Funding) has reduce from 49% of the new BOT Act to 30% of the total investment in government business unless otherwise specified. The expressway construction by private sector entry became a very difficult by reduction of this national support. 1-7 1.2.6 Issues of Road Sector Based on anticipated traffic volume and the current price level, capital investment for construction of expressway may be difficult to recover only from fare collection. On other hand, government subsidy for the project may be also difficult due to huge external debt of the government. A scheme that expressway can be constructed utilizing multiple fund source including fund from donor agencies like JICA, World Bank and ADB, private firm and national and local government with additional incentives to private investors by granting privileges of development rights along expressway routes. 1.3 Outline of Project Area 1.3.1 Overview of Project Area Project area covers from 90km south of Hanoi down to 150km north of Danang over approximately 220 km stretch. Along this project route, there three provinces, namely Ninh Binh, Thanh Hoa and Nghe An provinces as shown in Figure 1-6. Figure 1-6 Project Area Source: Study Team Overview of these three provinces is summarized in Table 1-5. Population density of Ninh Binh and Thanh Hoa that locate south of Hanoi is higher than national average and development status of these provinces seems to be urbanized. On the other hand, population density of Nghe An is lower than national average and seems to be still rural area. 1-8 Table 1-5 Summary of Project Area Area National Ninh Binh Thanh Hoa Nghe An Population in 2010 (1,000) 86,927.7 900.6 3,406.8 2,917.4 Area (km2) 331,051.4 1,389.1 11,133.4 16,490.7 Population Density 263 648 306 177 Population Growth Rate (%) 2005 13.3 11.1 12.0 15.0 2007 11.6 8.9 8.0 12.8 2008 2009 11.4 9.6 8.8 11.5 10.8 6.8 6.7 12.6 2010 10.3 4.8 6.6 12.9 Source:General Statistics Office of Vietnam 1.3.2 Socio-Economic Conditions of the Project Area Socio-economic condition of each province is discussed below.

The plant plan is under construction in Hoang Mai Industrial Park in Nghe An Province and expected to be completed by the end of 2014. Kobe Steel also plans to build a port of their own that includes procurement of cranes and appurtenant equipment with total investment amount of 20 to 30 billion yen by the end of 2013. Sources of raw material are Thach Khe Mine in HaTinh Province and coal mine in Quang Ninh Province. Zinc content of iron ore in Thach Khe Mine is about 0.07% which is fairly higher than 0.007% suitable for standard blast furnace. The new iron refinery method named “IT mark three (ITmk3)” developed by Kobe Steel, that can refine iron ore with low purity and high zinc content and produce crude iron ball called “iron nugget”, will be introduced to the plant. The new refinery method was first operational in Minnesota State in USA in January 2011 and to be second in Vietnam if the proposed refinery plant will be operational. First phase is to construct two refineries with 1.2 million tons of production capacity investing 50 million yen and expected to complete by 2013. If demand will increase as expected, another two refineries with same capacity and investment amount will be constructed. With low grade iron ores and small scale furnaces in Vietnam, fairly large demand is expected. Products will be sold not only to local electric furnace manufactures as replacement of scrap irons but also to neighboring countries in South East Asia through Nghi Son Port in Thanh Hoa Province. (2) Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd. Idemitsu Kosan Co. and Mitsui Chemicals established a joint venture with Vietnam's state owned oil company. In March 2008, it announced a plan to build a large refinery and petrochemical plant in Vietnam with a total investment of about 580 billion yen, and will start operation in 2014. Under the decreasing demand of petroleum products such as gasoline in Japan, Idemitsu Kosan aims to establish base for new revenue source in Southeast Asia where demand for petroleum is further expanding, while Mitsui Chemicals intends secure stable source for procurement of raw materials of petrochemicals. Investment share of the joint venture with 20 billion yen capital is; 35.1% each from Idemitsu Kosan and Kuwait state owned oil company, 25.1% from Vietnam state owned Petro Vietnam and 4.7% from Mitsui Chemicals. The joint venture is constructing new plant with crude oil processing capacity is 200,000 barrels per day in Nghi Son,Thanh-hoa Province with total investment of 580 billion yen. Idemitsu is planning to invest 60 billion yen while Mitsui Chemicals will invest 8 billion yen. 1-12 The new plant will be the largest oil refinery plant in Vietnam surpassing " Zunkuwatto watt oil refinery" by 30% that is currently the largest plant in the country. Market share of the two largest plants in Vietnam is expected to be 2/3 of the total domestic market. Crude oil will be imported from Middle East countries and gasoline, diesel oil, kerosene and fuel for jet planes will be produced. (3) Taiheiyo Cement Corporation Nghi Son Cement Corporation, which has been established as a joint venture between Vietnam Cement Corporation (hereinafter referred as Nghi Son Cement) funded by Mitsubishi Cement Corporation Ltd and Taiheiyo Cement Corp., To meet the increasing demand of cement due to the economic development of Vietnam, Nghi Son Cement Corporation made a decision for the expansion of the second production line at the factory in Thanh Hoa Province in May 2005 and commence construction from April 2007. It was completed in April 2010 after the three years of construction period. In addition, a cement tanker for central and southern districts and a new cement terminal of Khanh Hoa province and Ninhoa County (near the city of Nha Trang) have been constructed in conjunction with a second production line. Nghi Son Cement Corporation has become the largest cement manufacturing plant in the country by the completion of the second production line. In order to increase the presence in the Vietnamese cement market, the company is promoting its sales further in southern region of Ho Chi Minh City where a short of cement supply is expected due to the lack of factories as well as in the central region of Nha Trang city. a) Outline of Nghi Son Cement Corporation Company Name: Nghi Son Cement Corporation Head Office/ Cement Plants: Tihn Gia, Than Hoa Province, Vietnam (Coastal city located 200 km south of Hanoi) Paid-in Capital: 180.18 million USD Share of Capital: Vietnam cement public corporation (VICEM) 35%, NM Cement 65%〔Taiheiyo 70%、 Mitsubishi 30%〕 Number of Employees:581(As of March, 2010) Cement Production Capacity: 4.35 million ton / year Cement Terminal: Ho Chi Minh City:17,000 ton cement silo × 2 Khanh Hoa province:15,000 ton cement silo×1 (Scheduled to start operations in July 2010 ) Branch: Hanoi City, Ho Chi Minh City b) Progress of product line expansion The second production line: Cement production capability 2,200,000 ton/year 1-13 Limestone Mine Expansion: New ore deposit development (completed) Cement tanker: 15,000 ton Cement tanker (Scheduled to start operations in December 2010) Cement terminal: Near Nha Trang City in Khanh Hoa Province, 15,000 ton cement silo×1 (Scheduled to start operations in July 2010) 1.3.4 Issues of the Project Area Vietnam is elongated over the distance of 1,600km where major three cities are situated over north to south of the county, Hanoi in the north, Da Nang in central and Ho Chi Min in the south. Development of effectively and efficiently transport network which connects these major cities is essential for steady and balanced development of the country. Especially a development of high speed transport including expressway network is considered as the vital for the continuous economic growth. In project target area, an industrial estate has been developed and Japanese firms have plans for investment and economic growth rate of the area is higher than national average. From this, construction of North South Expressway in the area is given the highest priority to sustain such economic growth of the area. Expressway between Hanoi and entrance of Ninh Binh is now partially operational and will be fully operational in 2012. Construction of North South Expressway in the area is also expected to commence at an early date. 1-14 Chapter 2 STUDY METHODOLOGY 2.1 STUDY CONTENTS 2.1.1 Objectives of the Study This study was conducted for the purpose that Japanese ODA loan project (STEP) to be formulated.

Travel time from Hanoi to Bai Vot by a passenger car through National Higway No.1 (NH-1) over distance of around 300km takes six to eight hours now. Expressway section between Hanoi to Cau Zie is now operational and to be widened to six lanes in the near future. Expressway section between Cau Zie to Ninh Binh is now under construction and to be cmpleted in 2012. With completion of the above projects, travel time becomes three to four hours and one day roudn trip will be possible between Hanoi and Vinh. 3.1.1 Traffic Condition of the Project Area There are two national highways that connect Hanoi and stuydy area. One is National Highway No.1 (NH-1)passing along populated east sea side area having highr traffic volume. The other one is National Highway No15 (NH-15) or “Ho Chi Minh highway”, passing along less populated west mountainous are having low traffic volume. HN-15 has longer distance and much time for traveling than that of NH-1 due to changing topographic conditions. Therefore, it is hard to expect traffic diversion from NH-1 to NH-15 although NH-1 will be saturated in the future. NH-1 currently covers all the traffic, such as inter-community, inter -province and inter-regional, in the area along NH-1. Different types of vehicle with different traveling speed, including motorbike and bicycle are currently traveling ocuppying same traffic lanes of NN-1. This traffic conditions interfere smooth traffic flow and jeopardize traffic safety. Inter-regional traffic volume is increasing rapidly with development of Vietnamese econmy. Present mixed traffic needs separation by traffic type and to long distance trip vehicles with high travel speed have to be diverted alternative road for provision of traffic safety along NH-1. 3.1.2 Extent of the Project Project provides an expressway with six-lanes (partially four-lane) with a distance of 218km in total. Expected neneficiaries of the project are mainly freight and passenger transport companies currently plying along NH-1 but ultimetely all people in Vietnam will be benefited. 3-1 3.1.3 Present and Future Condition of Project Area Current traffic volume has already surpassed capacity of NH-1 at some locations in Ninh Binh and Thanh Hoa province based on the traffic survey results conducted by this study. Traffic in the area concentrate on NH-1 because alternative route is not available in the area. All the sections of NH-1 in the area from Ninh Binh to Bai Vot are expected to be saturated by 2015 based on the traffic analysis. To avoid serious traffic congestion in the area, construction of the expressway becomes uergent task of the Vietnamese Government. 3.1.4 Related Projects and Studies (1) Related Projects 1) Expressway Figure 3-1 shows the present expressway section of Hanoi-Phap Van- Cau Gie-Ninh Binh connected to this project. As mentioned 3.1.1, Section Phap Van to Cau Gie will be widened from present four-lane to future six-lane. Section Cau Zie to Ninh Binh is under construction and will be operational in 2012. First 20km of Cau Zie to Ninh Binh was in service in November 2011. 2) National Highway NH-217 in Figure 3-1 will be improved by ADB fund in near future and strengthen international corridor connected to Laos. Figure 3-1 Present Expressway Sections Source: Study Team 3-2 3) Development Plan Nghi Son economic zone located southern end of Thanh Hoa province. Economic zone has a total area of 18,000 ha including an area of 3,450ha for industry use and a population of 150,000 in future. Figure 3-2 Nghi Son Economic Zone Source: website http://dongnam.vn/VN/Aboutus.aspx?tabid=5. PMU of southeast of economic zone under Nghe An PPC Nghi Son economic zone give strong impact on development of Northern Central Region of Vietnam. Economic zone located at nearly center portion of Nih Binh-Bai Vot expressway. To consider poor traffic capacity of NH1 and utilize development impact of Nghi Son economic zone, implementation of the expressway follows Nghi Son economic zone development progress with parallel. 3-3 (2) Related Studies Related studies shown in Table 3-1 are currently being undertken. Table 3-1 Related studies Status of Related Studies Source: Study Team Two feasibility studies, namely Study on Ninh Binh-Thanh Hoa(Nghi Son) Expressway and Study on Thanh Hoa(Nghi Son)-Bai Vot Expressway supported by MOT, were nearly completed in October 2011 and both waiting for approval from MOT. MOT waits for conclusion from METI study in March 2012 and interim conclusion of the study prepared by WB in June 2012. MOT will integrate those four conclusions into one and decide direction to move. Especially WB study will select suitable expressway sections for PPP scheme from 218km expressway. Monitoring of WB study progress is important for final conclusion of MOT. 3.1.5 Effects and Impacts of the Project Implementation The following effects and impacts are expected by implementation of the project. 1. Traveling time of Hanoi-Ninh Binh-Bai Vot having a distance of 300km will be shortened from current six to eight hours to three to four hours if proposed expressway will be constructed. One day round trip between Hanoi and Vinh becomes possible. 2. Proposed expressway become a part of development axis in Vietnam and will support development of north central region and also contribute to balanced nationwide development of Vietnam. 3. Three provinces in the project area are aiming change of economic structure from current 3-4 agricultural oriented industrial/commercial oriented until 2020. Proposed expressway contribute to promotion of such economic transform by development of transport and tourism sectors. 4. Proposed expressway will support Japanese capital investment to industrial parks including Nghi Son Economic Zone and domestic companies locating along the expressway. 5. Proposed expressway support international trade between Hanoi, Laos and Bangkok through east and west corridor connected with the expressway. 6. Diversion of heavy vehicles from NH-1 to proposed expressway will assist mitigation of traffic jam and traffic accident on NH-1. 7. Use of concrete pavement will support cement facftories in the area and increase employment opportunities. Adoption of concrete pavement for the expressway shall be sought in the future. 3.1.6 Comparative Analysis of Alternative Projects Following five projects considered as alternatives for comparison. Improvement of the existing railway Improvement of NH-1, Rehabilitation, Widening Domestic shipping Development of airway Express railway Japanese ODA loan assists improvement of the existing railway. Incerease in transport capacity of the existing railway is difficult due to deterioration narrow gauge (1,000mm). Acition of land for widening of NH-1 is difficult because area along the highway is highly populated. Construction of bypass may improve traffic condition of major cities but does not improve condition of inter-city sections. Domestic shipping is major means of freight transportation in Vietnam. However, it must supported by inland transport from/to sea port. Domestic shipping needs development of expressway. Domestic air flights at Vinh City of Nghe An Province started in 2011. Buy this domestic air flight is 3-5 mainly for passenger not for freight transport. Since transportation capacity is farly small compare with expressway, domestic air flight is difficult to consider as an alternative transport method of expressway. Express railway is hard to realize in near future, considering present condition of existing railways, it is too early to introduce into Vietnam and difficult to consider as an alternative of expressway. Therefore, there is no alternative transportation method rather than expressway for improvement of condition in the area. 3-6 3.2 Result of Studies to Determine Scope of Work of the Project 3.2.1 Traffic Demand Forecast (1) Present Traffic Volume Traffic count survey and origin-destination survey (OD survey) were carried out to obtain the latest traffic condition data following prcedures discussed below. 1) Survey Location Traffic count survey and OD survey were carried out along NH-1 and NH-15, which run parallel to the proposed expressway. Seven survey locations were selected for the survey.

Total length of tunnels is about 4,000 m. Total length of tunnels for both directions is 8,055 m. Figure 3-9 Location of Tunnels Source: Study Team 3-18 Result of site investigation of 2 tunnels at north side (Ninh Binh – Nghi Son) is summarized as follows. North Side 1) Tunnel Tam Diep ( Tam Diep Tunnel: L=240+255m) It is at KM.288+730.00. There are steep mountains standing at the flat area. Majority of geological condition is limestone. Location and nature of corrosion and ground water that are ferquently seen in limestone area shall be identified accurately during planning stage. Access from the existing NH-1 is in good condition. Picture 3-1 Tam Diep Tunnel South Entrance Area (Location pithead is shown by red circle) Southern Entrance of the Tunnel. Mountain of limestone Source: Study Team 2) Tunnel Thung Thi (Thung Thi Tunnel : L=680 m×2 Lines) It is at KM.302+370.000. At the mild slope of south side, there are many rolling stones and rocks which are supposed to be volcanic products. Majorities of geological condition of propposed tunnel section are limestone and sandstone. Similar to Tam Diep Tunnel, it is important to identify location and nature corrosion and ground water during planning stage. Moreover, at about 200 m from north entrance, there is irrigation pond and there are many farmers’ houses. At about 300 m southeast from south entrance, there is also irrigation pond and also many farmers’ houses. Because of this, the application of blasting control method for reducing vibration of blasting during tunnel excavation is required. Since existing access road from NH-1 is narrow, improvement for construction work is required. 3-19 Picture 3-2 Thung Thi Tunnel North Entrance (Location of pithead is shown by red circle.)

South Side 1) Tunnel Truong Lam (Truong Lam Tunnel:L=550m×2Lines) It is at KM.386+610.000. Altough topography is gentle mountain ridge, the road to south entrance becomes river during rain. Geological formation of this area changes between limestone, sandstone and weathered sandstone. Location and nature of corrosion and ground water that are typical to linestone area must be accurately identifed during planning stagge. For weathered sandstone stratum, reliable excavation method and suitable support structure are required. Moreover, there are private houses at upside of tunnel. Measurement on blasting noise control and application of blasting control method to reduce vibration of blasting are required. Imorovement of access road is alos required.

Geological formation of this area is complex Source: Study Team 3-21 2) Tunnel Than Vu 1 (Than Vu No.1 Tunnel:L=875m×2Lines) It is at KM.439+360.000. At gentle mountain ridge, north entrance is at right bank of downstream of man-made lake. There are many volcanic products such as rolling stones in front of it. Due to majorities of geological condition are sandstone and weathered sandstone, the conditions are abruptly changed. As issue of tunnel construction, for the weathered sandstone, the reliable excavation method and suitable support structure are required. The access to north entrance is comparatively easy. However, improvement is required due to it is narrow. The south entrance is at valley of right bank of man-made lake. Construction of access is needed.

At gentle mountain ridge, the weathered sandstone exists continuously to the south pithead. In this area, there are planting pinewood for extraction of pine resin. Similar to Than Vu No.1 Tunnel, reliable excavation method and suitable support structure are required for weathered sandstone stratum. The access to south entrance is comparatively easy. However, improvement is required due to narrow road. The north entrance is at valley of right bank of man-made lake. Similar to Than Vu No.1 Tunnel, impropvement of of access is needed. Picture 3-8 Than Vu No.2 Tunnel South Entrance Area (Location of pithead is shown by red circle) Southern Entrance of the Tunnel Source: Study Team 3-24 (2) Conclusion of Site Investigation and Further Study For two tunnels in North Section (Ninh Binh – Nghi Son), it is importnat to idetify location fo corrsion and ground water precisely during plaaning stage since majorities of siols are limestones and sandstones. Removal volcanic rocks at the vicinity of tunle entrance is also importnat to consider during planning stage. Moreover, measures on noise and vibration control at area where farmers are residing shall be carefuuly studoed. For three tunnels in South Section (Nghi Son – Bai Vot), it is imprortant to formulate reliable excavation method and suitable supporting methods since geological condition chages abruptly between limestone, sandstone and weathered sandstone. Improvement of access to tunnel entrance is also required. For further study, it is important to conduct more detailed geological invetigations during planning and design stage and suitable support structure (patterns of support) and lining methode shall be determined based on the result of soil investigation and classification of bedrocks of the mountains. (3) Road Alignment Study 1) Technical Standard for Highway Design a) Vietnam Design Standard The Ninh Binh – Bai Vot Expressway project is designed based on the standard lists have been adopted by the Ministry of Transportation with the Decision No. 2549/Q -BGTVT dated 01st September 2009. The essential design standards applied for the project are follows: ・ Highway motorway - design requirement TCVN 5729-97; ・ Motorway - design requirement TCVN 4054-05; ・ Urban road - design requirement TCXDVN 104:2007; ・ Rural traffic way - Design standard 22 TCN 210-92; ・ Road signal regulations 22TCN 237- 01; ・ Flexible pavement design standard 22TCN 211-2006 ; ・ Bridge design standard 22TCN 272-05 ; 3-25 b) Design Speed According to Vietnam Standard TCVN 5729 - 97, the design speed for expressway is divided into following 4 categories. ・ 60km/h Calculated speed for level 60 is 60km/h ・ 80km/h Calculated speed for level 80 is 80km/h ・ 100km/h Calculated speed for level 100 is 100km/h ・ 120km/h Calculated speed for level 120 is 120km/h In this study, design speed for 80km/h, 100km/h and 120km/h are applied for the A grade expressway. In which, level 80km/h is applied for the steep mountainous regions and other difficult area only, level 100km/h is applied for the hill only and level 120km/h is applied for the flat area. 3-26 c) Typical Cross Section Geography for the Ninh Binh – Bai Vot Expressway is composed with low hill, mountain and flat. 80km/h is only applied for the areas where special difficulty mountainous topography. Hence, the route is mostly designed with design speed is 100km/h - 120km/h. The suggested following typical cross section of the expressway is applied based on Vietnam Standard TCVN 5729-91. Main Route Cross Section The project scale is examined on the basis of transport demand forecast that until 2035. The number of lane is required 6 lanes. Nevertheless, there are some sections should be examined to reserve one lane for each side to be expanded if necessary in future. According to the North - South Expressway detail planning in the East, the Ninh Binh – Bai Vot section must be planned in accordance with the Decision No. 140/Q -TTg dated 21st January 2010 by the Prime Minister. The number of lane for Expressway with 6 lanes, typical crosss section of the project is selected properly wtih Vietnam Standard TCVN 5729-97 as follows; Table 3-10 Main Route Crosss Section at the Completed Period Cross Section Factor Main Lane Emergency Parking Lane Outside Shoulder Inside Safety Shoulder Median Strip Total Width (m) No. of Lane 6 2 2 2 1 − Source: Study Team 3-27 Width (m) 3.75 3.00 1.00 0.75 3.00 − Total (m) 22.5 6.0 2.0 1.5 3.0 35. d) Stage Construction Plan To be proper transport demand forecast, reasonableness in investment and suitableness with the relevant projects, the stage construction plan is suggested for the Ninh Binh – Bai Vot Expressway project is shown as follows; Plan 1: Road bed with 4 lanes, pavement with 4 lanes The plan meets technical criteria and ability to serve present traffic and cost in construction of pavement during period 1 with only 4 main lanes. This plan is difficult to settle weak soil sections and expand the pavement from 4 lanes to 6 lanes embakment sections shall increase construction costs during period II of. The construction cost will be increased for this project scope.

Although immediate construction of road bed with 6 lanes during period I shall increase construction cost in this scope. This is more simple if pavement is constructed in period II of embankment, sweak soil foundation, and investment effect would be higher than in plan 1. Expand two lanes from outside, there are many disadvantages for construction in period II while developing bridge and highway structure and safety traffic under operation on expressway should invest more in plan 2. This plan is not suitable with the cross section of the Cau Gie - Ninh Binh section, which under construction. Increase construction cost during period I is higher than in plan 2 due to construction of longitudinal drainage ditch at the middle separating strip.

Material of conctete pavement can be producted in Vietnam. a) Applicable Condition of Cement Concrete Pavement Up to now, drive quality that is vibration and noise is gone down by Cement Concrete Pavement (CCP) on the expressway. However, the study team makes a suggestion that CCP because of technical of strength for flood area and reduction of maintenance cost. And lot of cement material is product easily in the north center region of Vietnam. 3-55 Proposed structure of concrete pavement is shown as follows.

Reinforced bar is inserted to CCP and joint can be saved and secured low vibration and noise on the concrete surface. b) Base Course In soft-ground area, cement stabilization can be used for base course. Soft ground can be hardened by chemical action by cement. And in case more harden, natural chemical hardening is efficient that gentle to environment of along paddy field. c) Construction Method of CRCP Slip-form construction method is used for CRCP by special machine for slip-form in shown as following picture. This machine can do compaction and frat/smooth on the surface of CCP, and realize seamless surface due to capacity of daily construction volume. Picture 3-9 Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement Source: Study Team 3-57 3.2.3 (1) Study of Technology Study on Long Span Bridge 1) Bridges on the Route a) Superstructure Longer spans or high clearances are not required for the small to middle size bridges which cross over the smaller rivers. As this kind of bridges generally consists of multi spans ranging from 25.0m to 40m, the concrete structures, such as RC or PC hollow slab bridges, PC I girder bridges, PC super T girder bridges, are generally adopted for their economic performance and the records of many former examples. The applicable span for each type of bridge is as follows; - Span length L=12∼24m:Precast PC hollow slab bridge - Span length L =24∼33m:PC I girder bridge (Cast-in-place decks and lateral girders) - Span length L =40m:PC super T girder bridge (Cast-in-place decks and lateral girders) The following bridge types can be adopted for the longer span bridges which cross over the larger rivers and lakes. The applicable types are decided as follows by the necessary span lengths and/or the navigational clearances. - Span length L =40m:PC super T simple girder bridge (Cast-in-place decks and lateral girders) - Span length L =∼100m:PC box girder bridge - Span length L =100m∼:PC box girder bridge,Steel Arch Bridge, Steel cable-stayed bridge b) Substructure Bridge abutments with vertical cantilever retaining walls which do not interefere with the flow, are recommended. To reduce the water pressure, piers inside of the rivers are recommended to have round edges (Oval section). To facilitate the construction works, a same size of pier cross sections irrespective of the different heights of the piers and a same size of false works should be adopted. The pier foundations should be decided according to the depth and the reaction force from the superstructure, as follows, based on the result of TEDI/FS. - Smaller superstructure reaction force: bored and cast-in-place piles 3-58 - Larger superstructure reaction force and shallower water depth: bored and cast-in-place piles - Larger superstructure reaction force and deeper water depth: Steel pipe sheetpile foundations 2) Selection of bridges for further investigation a) Selected bridge types for longer span bridges by TEDI/FS In TEDI/FS, bridges which have spans longer than 50m are defined as a long span bridge and the bridge types shown in the table below are selected. Bridges are divided into approach bridges and main bridges. As the spans of the approach bridges are less than 50m, PC super T bridges are selected for all of the bridges in the table. PC box girder bridges are selected for all of the main bridges except for the Duc Quang Bridge. A steel arch bridge is selected for the Duc Quang Bridge.

This bridge crosses over Day River. The distance between two embankments is about 300m measured by a laser rangefinder. On the upstream of the bridge site, there is a factory facing the river and a small landing place. This river is used as a waterway. Construction materials can be transported easily to the bridge site from National Road No.1 and No.10 via the embankment road. In Pre-FS, a PC Box girder bridge with the largest span of 130m is adopted for the main bridge and a super T girder bridge with the largest span of 40m is adopted for the approach bridges. The main bridge crosses over the river which is also utilized as a waterway, but the river cannot accept larger ships. Therefore the proposed navigational clearance by Pre-FS can be judged satisfactory. Consequently the selection of the bridge type and the section of the main bridge by TEDI/FS are also reasonable. Vinh An Bridge This bridge crosses over Ma River, which flows northern area of Thanh Hoa City suburbs. The bridge site is about 17km North-northeast of the city and about 1.5km from the division point of Len River. The width of the river between two embankments at the bridge site is about 400m and the water flow width is about 300m. The higher riverbeds are utilized as farm lands. The construction materials can be transported to the site either by National Road No.1 or No.217, but the access road to the site does not exist and a long temporary construction road is indispensible. In Pre-FS, a PC Box girder bridge with the largest span of 90m is adopted for the main bridge and a super T girder bridge with the largest span of 40m is adopted for the approach bridges. The main bridge crosses over the water flow section of the river, but the river cannot accept larger ships. Therefore the proposed navigational clearance by Pre-FS can be judged satisfactory. Consequently the selection of the bridge type and the section of the main bridge by Pre-FS are also reasonable. Nui Do Bridge This bridge crosses over Chu River, which is merged with Ma River. Ma River flows through northern suburbs of Thanh Hoa City. The bridge site is about 9km northeast of the city and about 2km from the confluence of Ma River and Chu River. The width of the river between two embankments at the bridge site is about 900m and the water flow 3-60 width is about 230m. The higher riverbeds are utilized as farm lands. The construction materials can be transported to the site by National Road No.1, but the access road to the site does not exist and a long temporary construction road is indispensible. In Pre-FS, a PC Box girder bridge with the largest span of 90m is adopted for the main bridge and a super T girder bridge with the largest span of 40m is adopted for the approach bridges. The main bridge crosses over the water flow section of the river, but the river cannot accept larger ships. Therefore the proposed navigational clearance by Pre-FS can be judged satisfactory. Consequently the selection of the bridge type and the section of the main bridge by Pre-FS are also reasonable. Yen My Bridge This bridge crosses over Yen My Lake which is situated about 17km northwest of Nghi Son. Yen My Lake is a dam lake with a concrete dam on the west of the lake. The planned bridge is about 500m apart from the dam proper. The water depth of the site is about 15 to 25m, according to Pre-FS and the site interview. The construction materials can be transported easily to the site of the Hanoi side or the origin side, because of the already existing road around the lake. But a temporary road needs to be constructed for the destination side as there are no access roads. Generally speaking, the construction cost of the foundations and the substructures becomes higher as the water depth becomes deeper, consequently longer superstructure spans can become more cost-effective. From this view point, the bridge plan of this bridge will be reinvestigated. Duc Quang Bridge This bridge crosses over Lam River, which flows southwest area of Vinh City suburbs. The bridge site is about 2500m downstream from the confluence of Lam River and La River. The water flow width is about 600m at the bridge site, but the width of the river between two embankments is about 4000m. The large area on the right bank side forms a flood control basin to mitigate the effect of floods. The construction materials can be transported easily to the site from National Road No.1 via the embankment roads on both sides. In Pre-FS, a three span steel arch bridge (3@120m) is adopted for the main bridge over the water flow, about 400m wide. But from the span of this bridge, other bridge types, such as a PC box girder bridge or a steel box girder bridge, can be more appropriate and they will be reinvestigated in this study. 3-61 3) Bridge plan of Yen My Bridge a) Bridge Plan by TEDI Study Figure 3-24 Location of Yen My Bridge Figure 3-25 Yen My Lake and Bridge Position Reservoir is utilized for irrigation, drinking water supply and industrial water so that certain water level is maintained year round. Source: Study Team Source: Study Team The location of the Yen My Lake is shown in Figure 3-24. The relation between the bridge position and the dam lake is shown in Figure 3-25. To avoid important locations near this area, the expressway route needs to pass over the dam lake. In Pre-FS, 1,392m long bridge plan which has L=585m PC Box girder bridge as the main bridge, L=238m Super T girder bridge as the approach bridge of the origin side and L=558m Super T girder bridge as the approach bridge of the destination side, is selected. This is the result of comparison of three alternatives, an extradosed bridge alternative, a super T girder bridge alternative and a PC Box girder bridge alternative. These alternatives are compared from the view points of the merit of new technology transfer, economy, easiness of construction, easthetics, etc. And the PC Box girder alternative is selected. 3-62 b) Important Points of Bridge Planning As a bridge constitutes one of the most important structures of the expressway, which is also one of the most important social infrastructures, a bridge is required to serve to the public more than 100 years. To design bridges, the durability, the economy, the easthetics, etc. need to be considered. For the Yen My Bridge, the foundations and the substructures need to be constructed within the dam lake. The deepest water level of the dam lake is about 20 to 25m deep. The shallowest water level is still 10 to 15m deep. The method of construction, the temporary jetties, the temporary cofferdams or other temporary facilities for the construction of foundations, substructures and superstructures need to be carefully planned to minimize the construction cost. c) Main Bridge Plan As there is no navigational channel on the Yen My Lake, spans of 40m to 210m are examined by Pre-FS. As a result, a middle size span of 135m is adopted for the main bridge by taking into accout the geology, the economy, the minimization of influence to the dam proper during the construction, etc. Alternatives are shown below. Table 3-29 Three Alternatives of Main Bridge (TEDI Study) Alter Bridge native Type Spans Approach Bridge Total length Evaluation Origin side:Super T girder A-1 Extradosed 140+210+210 Bridge 39.15+3x40+39.15=198.3m 1376.6 +140=700m Destination side:Super T girder m Better 39.15+10x40+39.15=478.3m A-2 Super T girder 39.15+33x40 +39.15= − 398.3m 1398.3 m Origin side:Super T girder A-3 PC Box 90+3x135+90 Girder =585m 39.15+4x40+39.15=238.3m 1381.6 Destination side:Super T girder 39.15+12x40+39.15=558.3m Source: TEDI Study 3-63 m Best A-1 is an extradosed bridge alternative. Number of piers inside of the lake is the least. Although the economic performance is the worst, the easthetics is better than other alternatives and the influence to the dam proper during the construction is the least. This is a new bridge type in Vietnam and a new technology can be transferred to Vietnam through the construction of this bridge. A-2 consists of Super T girders only. As the spans of super T girder bridges are not so long that A-2 has the largest number of piers inside of the lake. The economic perfornce is larger but the aesthetics is inferior and the influence to the dam proper during the construction is also the largest. A-3 adopts a PC box girder bridge for the main bridge. The PC box girder bridge has characteristics between A-1 and A-2. The span of PC box girder bridge is longer than that of the super T girder bridge and shorter than that of the extradosed bridge. Thus A-3 has a well-balanced design. But A-2 and A-3 are a popular type of bridge in Vietnam and there is not an effect of technology transfer. In this study, in addition to the PC box girder bridge recommended by TEDI Study, a steel box girder bridge with an orthotropic steel bridge deck with a same span arrangement of the PC box girder bridge and a composite cable-stayed bridge which has less number of piers, are studied and compared. For CASE 2, a cable-stayed bridge alternative, steel pipe sheet pile foundations are assumed because of the larger reaction force from the long span bridge.

Table 3-32 Comparison of Three Alternatives of Yen My Bridge Main Bridge Type Construction Cost The superstructure of this alternative is the 7,993 Girder Bridge Cable-stayed most economic.

Source: Study Team From the above comparison, the PC Box Girder Bridge is the most appropriate bridge for the Yen My Bridge, which is the same conclusion as Pre-FS. But it is necessary to confirm the water depth of the dam lake by the water depth survey. If the water depth is deeper than the assumed depth of the present study, the construction cost of the substructures of the PC box girder bridge may increase. Consequently the total construction cost of the PC Box girder bridge may become almost the same as the total construction cost of the steel box girder bridge. Therefore in this study, two bridge types, the PC box girder bridge and the steel box girder bridge, are recommended for the Yen My Bridge. 3-68 Figure 3-28 Selected Bridge Type for the Yen My Bridge (PC Box Girder & Steel Box Girder) Source: Study Team 3-69 4) Bridge Plan over Lam River (The Duc Quang Bridge) a) Bridge Plan by TEDI Study Figure 3-29 Location of Lam Bridge Figure 3-30 Lam River and Bridge Position Source: Study Team Source: Study Team The location of the Lam Bridge is shown in Figure 3-29. The relation between Lam River and the bridge is shown in Figure 3-30. The bridge route shown in Figure 3-31 is proposed by TEDI. As this route is selected by avoiding the important places, it is difficult to move this route largely. A navigational channel is designated on Lam River. It is necessary to secure the clearance of H≧7m, B≧40m for the channel. It is required to consider the 100 year floods for this river. The river channels in developing countries are often not fixed properly. The river channel of this river is also not fixed well. Therefore the main bridge over the waterway of this river is about 400m long but the total length of the bridge including the approach bridges is about 4km. b) Important points of bridge planning As a bridge constitutes one of the most important structures of the expressway, which is also one of the most important social infrastructures, a bridge is required to serve to the public more than 100 years. To design bridges, the durability, the economy, the aesthetics, etc. need to be considered. For this bridge, not only the main bridge but also the selection of bridge types of approach bridges is 3-70 important because of their longer lengths. To select the main bridge type, it is important to investigate the accessibility of larger barges to the bridge site, which can transport large blocks of bridge section. The designated navigational channel of this river is not so large that it may not be so difficult to secure the necessary clearance. c) Bridge plan (Main Bridge & Approach Bridges) In Pre-FS, four alternatives for approach bridges shown below are compared. As a result, a super T girder bridge is selected, which seems to be reasonable.

In this study, in addition to two alternatives, a PC box girder alternative and a steel arch alternative, which were studied already by TEDI, a steel box girder bridge with an orthotropic steel deck, which has a same span arrangement as the PC box girder alternative is investigated. Three alternatives are compared as follows. 3-72 Table 3-35 Main Bridge Plan (Duc Quang Bridge)(Study Team) Alternative Bridge Type Span Arrangement Approach Bridge of Main Bridge Case-1 Steel Nielsen Arch Bridge Case-2 PC Box Girder Bridge Case-3 3@120=360m 75+3@120+75 =510m Steel Box Girder Bridge with an orthotropic steel deck 75+3@120+75 =510m Source: Study Team Figure 3-31 Lam River and Bridge Route Source: Study Team 3-73 Super T Girder Bridge Super T Girder Bridge Super T Girder Bridge Figure3-32 Main Bridge Plan (Duc Quang Bridge) Case-1:Steel Nielsen Arch Bridge Case-2:PC Box Girder Bridge Case-3:Steel Box Girder Bridge Source: Study Team 3-74 The construction costs of three alternatives (Case-1 to 3) are compared below.

But the accessibility of barges to the bridge site needs to be confirmed first. 3-76 Figure 3-33 Selected Bridge Type for the Lam Bridge (Duc Quang Bridge) Source: Study Team 3-77 (2) Study of large cross-sectional tunnel 1) Selection of the Cross Sectional Shape of Tunnel The shape of 3-lane road tunnels is usually oblate shape, which has lower height than the width, for optimum usage of tunnel section. The oblate shape tunnel has high efficiency of cross sectional usage, though it has lower sectional stability during construction than normal shape tunnel. So, for stabilizing the geological condition surrounding the tunnel, it is necessary to introduce careful design of tunnel support system such as shotcreting, rockbolting, steel supporting and fore-poling, etc., and the appropriate lining concrete is needed. And the large tunnel section needs a large volume of excavation work and high cost of construction. Therefore, it is necessary to select the smallest tunnel section with having a clearance of the 3-lane road section. So, it is necessary to carefully study the selection for a 3-lane road tunnel, considering the similar geological condition of precedent setting cases. In the case of Second Tomei-Meishin Expressway in Japan, the value adopted for the oblateness of 3-lane tunnels is 0.66 (ratio of inner height versus inner width). According to the drawings of appendix of TEDI’s report, the range of oblateness of the 3-lane tunnel of north section is from 0.68 (in good ground condition) to 0.87 (in bad ground condition). There is room for optimization in the case of bad ground condition of 0.87. On the other hand, it is considered that the oblateness of the south section of 0.64 is smaller than the Japanese cases, and it seems worse for the stabilization of tunnel section. Considering the safety of the tunnel cross section, the oblateness value of 0.66 is adopted to the shape of 3-lane road tunnel of the proposed cross section. Figure 3.34 shows the cross section of proposed 3-lane road tunnel. Appendix-2 shows the details of the selection of the tunnel. 3-78 Figure 3-34 Proposed Cross Section of 3-Lane Road Tunnel Center line Source: Study Team 3-79 2) Study of the Distance Between Northbound and Southbound Tunnels To prevent interactions during construction, the distance between northbound and southbound tunnels needs some clearance. In the case of Japanese tunnels, the distance is about twice (2D) of tunnel excavation width (D). The distance directly affects the length of connecting tunnel. According to the TEDI report, the distance between centers of the two tunnels adopts 50m (2.8D) in north section; while it is 28m (1.6D) in south section. Both values are out of the standard value (2D). Therefore, the proposed distance between the northbound and southbound tunnels of 33m (2D) is adopted for the proposed tunnels, shown in Figure 3-35. Appendix2-2 shows the detailed study of the distance of northbound and southbound tunnels. Figure 3-35 Proposed Distance between Northbound and Southbound Tunnels Source: Study Team 3) Study of Connecting Adit To avoide accidents, it is necessary to provide the a connecting adit between the northbound and southbound tunnels in the case of long tunnels. Japanese long highway tunnels have connection adits every 400m to 500m intervals. 3-80 Based on the Japanese case, it is proposed that connection adits be included in the construction of tunnels that are more than 600m long. 4) Study of Emergency Parking Space in the Tunnels Many 2-lane road tunnels have an emergency parking space in case of automobile trouble. However, 3-lane road tunnels have wide enough space; therefore, it is not provided with emergency parking space such as in the case of Japanese highway tunnels in recent years. Therefore, emergency parking spaces are not proposed in this study. 5) Criteria of the Ground Condition of Tunnels The construction method of the tunnels should be selected from the tunnel support pattern which is based on the criteria of the ground condition. There are many criteria methods of the ground condition. Considering the road tunnel, the Japanese national highway’s criteria of ground condition is adopted. Reference: The standard of construction criteria for mountain tunnels, JSCE, English (3) Concrete Pavement The difference between asphalt and concrete pavement is durable. Design life of concrete pavement is for 20 years and asphalt pavement is for 10 years in general. Concrete pavement needs two times overall repair and asphalt pavement needs four times overall repair for forty years repayment period. Because of this difference, total cost of concrete pavement is lower than that of asphalt pavement even initial cost of concrete pavement is 20% higher than that of asphalt pavement. Concrete pavement has many advantages but very few experience for national highway class road only in Vietnam in the past for expressway not applied yet as of present. Concrete pavement is new technology in Vietnam and proposed to this project as a Japanese technology. There is much limestone in Ninh Binh and Thanh Hoa province accordingly cement industry has been developed as major local industry. Based on this natural condition, using concrete pavement to this expressway project is to assist local industry and local people living in the project area. Unit price of concrete pavement is nearly same unit price of asphalt pavement based on information collected from recent detailed design and construction work in Vietnam. 3-81 (4) ITS on the Expressway 1) Necessity of ITS on the Expressway Expressway is full access controlled from local roads along the expressway to secure safety and smooth travel on the expressway. Road administrator should provide the road information that is traffic jam, accident and the other road conditions. This traffic information will be collected from roadside sensor and distributed through traffic control center to road users by road information board, car radio and the other road devices. ITS (Intelligent Traffic System) is needed to operate the road information. Main ITS facilities on the expressway are shown in following table Table 3-38 Main ITS Facilities on the Expressway System Roadside Information Collection System ITS Facility Emergency Telephone Traffic Counter Vehicle Weight Scale CCTV (Closed-circuit Television) Weather-monitoring Device Traffic Information Provide System Mobil Radio Variable Traffic Information Board Road Information Radio VICS (Vehicle Information and Communication System) Internet SMS (Short Message Service) Traffic Control System Function Driver, passenger and discoverer inform to control center in case of emergency of traffic accident and car trouble.

Measurement vehicle weight and detection over weight heavy truck Monitoring road traffic condition by video image Of road side CCTV Detection of weather information for attention to road user and control traffic Communication from/to site and control center Provide road condition, traffic information, weather condition to road user by road side information board Provide road condition, traffic information, weather condition to road user by car-mounted radio Provide road condition, traffic information, weather condition to road user by car-mounted navigation system Provide road condition, traffic information, weather condition to road user by internet Provide road condition, traffic information, weather condition to road user by mobile phone Uniform management of road traffic information Source: Study Team Development of traffic control center is needed to control wide-aria traffic information on of entire interval the North-South expressway in future. Traffic control center will be help to effective road traffic control by manage not only expressway but national highway and bypass route. Location of traffic control center on the North-South expressway is proposed by MOT decision “No.41/TB-BGTVT” however not yet decided in the last result. 3-82 Figure 3-36 Proposed Location of Traffic Control Center Source: Study Team And for the other ITS facilities, communication system that can be received and sent information between various type of road side sensor, traffic control center and road maintenance office should be developed. 2) ETC (Electric Toll Collection System) Expressway administration should collect the toll from road user at toll gate. In generally, toll is collected by cash or credit-card manually. ETC can collect the toll automatically at the toll gate. Expressway construction fund and scheme is different for section by section that is characteristic of expressway construction in Vietnam. Therefore, toll gates are installed on the main carriageway, and expressway function will down because all vehicles must stop at toll gate. ETC should be developed to be settled this problem. Figure 3-37 Concept of Main Lane Toll Gate Source: Study Team 3-83 3.3 Outline of the Project 3.3.1 Basic Policy on Project Implementation and Project Contents of the Government of Vietnam Proposed expressway, both the north and the south section has selected for pilot project of PPP scheme by Decision 71. PPP scheme is the first considered way to construct this section and if PPP not satisfied then second way considered to utilize ODA fund. To apply PPP scheme needs 30% of VGF from the total cost. Due to current economical condition in Vietnam as well as reguiremtn of over 51% goverment funds in order to promote participation of private investers according to the sutdy, GOV can not contribute VGF portion then GOV utilize ODA loan with low interest as VGF to assist PPP scheme. With this situation, to apply STEP to construction of the proposed expressway was studied. Whole north section Whole south section High cost structure in low invest section Whole low invest section 3.3.2 Preliminary Design of Tunnels (1) Shape of the Cross Section of Tunnels As described in the preceding section, the proposed 3-lane road tunnel cross section will have an oblateness of 0.66. The tunnel support pattern system for the north section follows the TEDI report. (2) Distance Between Northbound and Southbound Tunnels As described in the preceding section, the distance between the northbound and southbound tunnels is 33m (2D). (3) The Length of the Tunnels The length of the tunnels are followed to TEDI’s report. 3-84 (4) Basic Design Two basic designs were prepared by TEDI and submitted to MOT as draft final reports already for the north section in September 2011 and for the south section in October 2011. Validity of those basic designs was verified in this section. Horizontal alignment of the proposed expressway in the basic design was determined with the following reasons. Results of mutual discussion with each related PPCs and advice from them. ・ To minimize affected people/family ・ To minimize construction cost ・ To consider development plan prepared by National/Provincial authorities (5) Verification of Road Design Direct cost of the proposed expressway was compared with the other expressway planned/constructed recently in Vietnam as shown in Table 3-39.

Project No.11 and 13 in the table shows cheaper unit price than that of the others because number of their lane is fewer than the others. Except these unit prices mentioned before; unit 3-85 price of No1 and No.3 prepared by TEDI and No.2 and No.4 prepared by METI study team shows nearly same range of the prices. Proposed design by TEDI was confirmed as an appropriate design because of this result. (6) Verification of Structure Design Adequacy of the structure design by TEDI for the proposed expressway was verified in this section. Most of the bridge design by TEDI applied PC box girder and Super T girder type. Both types of bridge are very common style in Vietnam and having much experience both in design and in construction. Figure 3-38 below shows a relation between length of the bridges and concrete material quantity of them in the north section. Figure 3-38 Bridge Length and Concrete Volume Source: Study Team Significant linearity relation was confirmed between the bridge length and the concrete quantity based on Figure 3-38. Quantity of reinforcement steel bar (RSB) also compared with that of concrete in PC box girder bridge design and Super T girder bridge design. RSB of 179kg/m3 of PC box girder bridge and 134kg/m3 of Super T girder bridge were calculated based on the basic design drawing and the basic design report. That quantity of RSB satisfies with required strength of the proposed bridges. Proposed structure design by TEDI was confirmed as an appropriate design because of this result. 3-86 (7) Unit Price and Quantity in Basic Design Basic design under this study basically followed the basic design prepared by TEDI as explained before. But estimated costs based on the both basic designs were different because the revised prices were applied to the estimation. Difference of each prices are shown in Table 3-40.

Unit price of rock cutting is high price comparing with soil cutting. Unit price of filling depends on availability of material at the site. Filling material with long hauling distance is high unit price. Difference unit price of pavement work in North and South also depends on hauling distance of material for paving. Each PPC controlled unit prices in each province for the work. Those unit prices were nearly same unit prices in market. Therefore, unit prices by PPC were applied to cost estimation under this study. 3-87 (8) Comparison of Total Project Cost Total project costs of the north and south section including cost for land acquisition and resettlement were shown in Table 3-41(A) North and Table 3-41(B) South.

The ground condition may be severely changed and it is estimated that some sections are close to active faults. Excavation by drill and blast methods is usually adopted in the tunnels with good ground condition including limestone and sandstone. In the weathered sandstone and mud near active faults, mechanical excavation method will be selected, and sometimes the fore-poling method may be needed in dealing with this kind of ground condition. Therefore, in selecting the most suitable method for tunnels, a detailed investigation of the ground condition is needed. This includes seismic investigation, electric investigation and direct boring investigation, and these activities are to be undertaken along the centerline of planned tunnels. As the detailed investigation is not completed yet, the construction method of the tunnels is assumed based on the following conditions: ・ There are no ground conditions that could be considered “worst” for all the tunnels. ・ Normal top heading with short benching method can be applied. Considering the drainage of tunnels, the method of tunnel excavation will be done from downside to upside. Short tunnels can be excavated from upside to downside depending on the ease of approaching the tunnel portals. Furthermore, the consideration about the outside civil works of the tunnel portals is omitted, because of the lack of detailed information of investigation. 3-89 (2) The Construction Method of the Tunnels 1) North Section: a) Ham Tam Diep: L=240+255m This tunnel has the ground condition of mainly limestone and the planned portal site is very steep. As the length of this tunnel is short, the tunnel will be excavated from the south portal, because the southern portal access is easier than the northern access. The planned set of tunneling equipment is one that minimizes the equipment cost. The drill and blast excavation method and the top heading with short benching method will be applied to this section. The top heading and the bench section will be simultaneously processed. The ground condition of the tunnel is assumed to be in good condition. Therefore, based on the actual progress of the Japanese 3-lane road tunnels, the estimated progress of the top heading will be 70m per month. Construction Steps: Step 1: Excavation of the tunnel First, the right tunnel (L=240m) will be excavated from south portal to the north portal. After completion of the right tunnel, the left tunnel (L=255m) will be excavated. Step 2: Lining concrete After the excavation of the right tunnel, the sliding form will be set at the south portal area. Then, from south to north, water proofing sheets, reinforcing bars (if required) and the lining concrete will be constructed by the sliding form by this order. Following the completion of the lining of the right tunnel, the sliding form will be moved from the right portal to the left portal. Then, the lining concrete of the left tunnel will be constructed. Step 3: Portal concrete The south and north portals will be constructed by the inner and outer forms. After the setting of reinforcing steel bars, the portal concrete will be constructed. 3-90 Step 4: Drainage works After the completion of the lining concrete, the drainage work will be achieved. Step 5: Base works and pavement works After the completion of the drainage works, base works and pavement works will be constructed. Step 6: M&E works After the completion of the pavement work, the M&E works of the tunnel will be achieved.ork, the M&E works of the tunnel will be achieved. b) Ham Thung Thi: L=680m X 2 numbers The ground condition of the tunnel is mainly limestone and sandstone. However, the slope near the south portal is covered by huge stones coming from the volcano activity. Therefore, it may be necessary to remove big stones around the tunnel portal. A set of tunneling equipment is to be provided for each face. So there will be two sets of tunneling equipment. The drill and blast excavation method and the top heading with short benching method will be applied to this section. The top heading and the bench section will be simultaneously processed. The ground condition of the tunnel is assumed in good condition. Therefore, based on the actual progress of the Japanese 3-lane road tunnels, the estimated progress of the top heading will be 70m per month. Construction Steps: Step 1: Excavation of the tunnel The right and the left tunnels will be excavated from the north portal to the south portal by short benching method.The cross passage tunnel will be excavated after the bench section of the main tunnel will be completed. Step 2: Lining concrete After the progress of the excavation, the sliding form will be set at the north 3-91 portal yard. Then, from north to south, water proofing sheets, reinforcing bars (if required) and the lining concrete will be constructed by the sliding form by this order. Step 3: Portal concrete The south and north portals will be constructed by the inner and outer forms. After the setting of reinforcing steel bars, the portal concrete will be constructed. Step 4: Drainage works After the completion of the lining concrete, the drainage work will be achieved. Step 5: Base works and pavement works After the completion of the drainage works, base works and pavement works will be constructed. Step 6: M&E works After the completion of the pavement work, the M&E works of the tunnel will be achieved. 2) South Section a) Ham Truong Lam: L-550m X 2-numbers The ground condition of the tunnel may be limestone and sandstone, although the ground condition may be severely changed. A set of tunneling equipment is to be provided for each face. So there will be two sets of tunneling equipment. The drill and blast excavation method and the top heading with short benching method will be applied. And the top heading and the bench section will be simultaneously processed. In case the ground condition will not be good, the mechanical excavation method will be applied. If the ground condition of the tunnel will not be good, the estimated excavation progress will be 50m per month based on the actual progress of the Japanese 3-lane road tunnels. Construction Steps: Step 1: Excavation of the tunnel The right and the left tunnels will be excavated from the north portal to the south 3-92 portal by short benching method. Step 2: Lining concrete After the progress of the excavation, the sliding form will be set at the north portal yard. Then, from north to south, water proofing sheets, reinforcing bars (if required) and the lining concrete will be constructed by the sliding form by this order. Step 3: Portal concrete The south and north portals will be constructed by the inner and outer forms. After the setting of reinforcing steel bars, the portal concrete will be constructed. Step 4: Drainage works After the completion of the lining concrete, the drainage work will be achieved. Step 5: Base works and pavement works After the completion of the drainage works, base works and pavement works will be constructed. Step 6: M&E works After the completion of the pavement work, the M&E works of the tunnel will be achieved. b) Ham Than Vu 1: L=875m X 2-numbers The ground condition of the tunnel will be weathered sandstone and sandstone, although the ground condition may be severely changed. A set of tunneling equipment is to be provided for each face. So there will be two sets of tunneling equipment. The drill and blast excavation method and the top heading with short benching method will be applied. And the top heading and the bench section will be simultaneously processed. In case the ground condition will not be good, the mechanical excavation method will be applied. If the ground condition of the tunnel will not be good, the estimated excavation progress will be 50m per month based on the actual progress of the Japanese 3-lane road tunnels. 3-93 Construction Steps: Step 1: Excavation of the tunnel The right and the left tunnels will be excavated from the north portal to the south portal by short benching method. Step 2: Lining concrete After the progress of the excavation, the sliding form will be set at the north portal yard. Then, from north to south, water proofing sheets, reinforcing bars (if required) and the lining concrete will be constructed by the sliding form by this order. Step 3: Portal concrete The south and north portals will be constructed by the inner and outer forms. After the setting of reinforcing steel bars, the portal concrete will be constructed. Step 4: Drainage works After the completion of the lining concrete, the drainage work will be achieved. Step 5: Base works and pavement works After the completion of the drainage works, base works and pavement works will be constructed. Step 6: M&E works After the completion of the pavement work, the M&E works of the tunnel will be achieved. c) Ham Than Vu 2: L=1,675m X 2-numbers The ground condition of the tunnel will be weathered sandstone and sandstone, although the ground condition may be severely changed. A set of tunneling equipment is to be provided for each face. So there will be four sets of tunneling equipment. The drill and blast excavation method and the top heading with short benching method will be applied. And the top heading and the bench section will be simultaneously processed. In case the ground condition will not be good, the mechanical excavation method will be applied. If the ground condition of the tunnel will not be good, the 3-94 estimated excavation progress will be 50m per month based on the actual progress of the Japanese 3-lane road tunnels. Construction Steps: Step 1: Excavation of the tunnel The right and the left tunnels will be excavated from the north portal to the south portal by short benching method. The connection adit will be excavated after the bench section of the main tunnel will be completed. Step 2: Lining concrete After the progress of the excavation, the sliding form will be set at the north portal yard. Then, from north to south, water proofing sheets, reinforcing bars (if required) and the lining concrete will be constructed by the sliding form by this order. Step 3: Portal concrete The south and north portals will be constructed by the inner and outer forms. After the setting of reinforcing steel bars, the portal concrete will be constructed. Step 4: Drainage works After the completion of the lining concrete, the drainage work will be achieved. Step 5: Base works and pavement works After the completion of the drainage works, base works and pavement works will be constructed. Step 6: M&E works After the completion of the pavement work, the M&E works of the tunnel will be achieved. 3-95 (3) Estimated Construction Period Based on the previous studies, the estimated construction period of each tunnel is as follows: Northern section ・ Ham Tam Diep (L=240+255m): 22 months ・ Ham Thung Thi (L=680m×2): 30 months Southern section ・ Ham Truong Lam (L=550m×2): 29 months ・ Ham Than Vu 1 (L=875m×2): 42 months ・ Ham than Vu 2 (L=1,675m×2): 43 months Appendix-3 shows the construction schedule. (4) Proposals of Applicable Japanese Original Tunneling Technologies The following applicable Japanese tunneling technologies are proposed for the smooth construction of 3-lane large cross section tunnels. 1) Face fore-search technology (3-dimensional tomography) With the use of this technology, the ground condition can be comprehensively visible by various investigation methods. The best supporting system will be selected, and safety and cost reduction will be achieved. AGF (All Ground Fastening Method) This is fore-piling method using long (over 12m) steel pipes and injection. The technology can be done by normal hydraulic jumbos and does not require high cost machines. Wastewater disposal facility The system can treat construction wastewater, which will be of great benefit to the environment. Control blasting method The technology can reduce the blasting noise and vibration. It can give a positive effect to the 3-96 people living near the construction site. Soundproof gate These are special gates for setting at the tunnel portal. With the technology of the control blasting, it will greatly reduce the construction noise. 2) High standard long range blasting method (more than 6m) This is a technology which can be used in the good ground condition. It can also reduce construction period and construction cost. 3-97 3.3.4 Issues and Countermeasures to Apply the Proposed Japanese Technology The above-mentioned technologies have been tried and tested in many construction projects in Japan, and these can be applied in Vietnam. For the technology transfer, not only manuals and standards are necessary but also the direct advice on the site, so called on-the-job training (OJT). METI study propose the following Japanese Technology. 1) Bridge Steel Box Girder Bridge is proposed for Yen My Bridge in the north section instead of PC box girder bridge proposed under TEDI F/S as new bridge technology in Vietnam. Steel Nielsen Arch Bridge is proposed for Lam Bridge in the south section instead of Steel arch bridge proposed under TEDI F/S as new bridge technology in Vietnam. There is no technical issue during planning and designing about both bridges because Japan has much design experience of both bridges in the past. But some technical issue needs to be confirmed before and during construction of bridges. 2) Tunnels Japan has much experience of 3-lane road tunnel design and construction in the past. There is no significant technical issue about 3-lane road tunnel. 3) Concrete Pavement MOT applied concrete pavement to NH No.1, No.2 and HCM highway in the past. Some part of concrete pavement was collapsed and the cause is under investigation by MOT. During discussion with the deputy director of DPI, in charge of technical matter, advantage of concrete pavement was confirmed especially operation and maintenance period. But MOT is difficult to apply concrete pavement again without clear clarification of technical issue. Therefore, concrete pavement is not recommendable right now. Technical issue of concrete pavement is shortage of experience during construction. Availability of material for concrete pavement is quite better along the proposed expressway. Further study and Japanese technical assistance is necessary in future for concrete pavement. 3-98 Chapter 4 EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL IMPACTS 4.1 Present Analysis of Natural and Social Environment 4.1.1 (1) Present Analysis and Future Prediction Environmental Baseline Study Result on environmental baseline study of objective provinces along the expressway route is shown in Table 4-1. Appendix 4-1, Table 4-1 and Table 4-2 show natural and socioeconomic condition of objective provinces of the project. Table 4-1 Current Situation in Objective Provinces along the Expressway Route No. Baseline Study Items Outline of Current Condition 1 Climatic Conditions Nam Dinh and Ninh Binh provinces In warm season, heavy rain from May to October; in cold season, dry from the previous year November to April next year, with average annual rainfall of 1,700-1,800mm, average temperature of 23.5oC, average hours of sunshine of 1,650-1,700 hours, average relative humidity of 80-85%. Average annual rainfall is about 1,600-2,300mm, with about 90 - 130 rainy days per year. Relative humidity is from 85% to 87%, average hours of sunshine of 1,600 - 1,800 hours, average temperature of 23o-24oC, the temperature drops off to the mountain. Popular wind direction is Northwest and Northeast in winter; East and Southeast in summer In the North, the prevailing wind direction is the North and Northeast in winter, the South and Southeast in summer. Total frequency of the two directions is up to 40-50%. Average annual wind speed is about 1.2-1.7m/s. The strongest wind speed observed in storm is about 30-40m/s; it can reach 45m/s in Ninh Binh (on 22/09/1962). Heavy rain from May to November. Average rainfall is 2113mm. Average temperature is 23.60C. Average hours of sunshine are 1,600 – 1,800 annually. Average humidity is 85%. In Nghe Tinh, the popular direction in winter is the Northwest to North or Northeast (total frequency of the two directions is about 50-60%); the popular direction in summer is Southwest or South (with the frequency of 40-50%). Total average annual wind speed is 1.7-1.8m/s. The strongest wind speed observed in storm is about 30-40m/s. •The project route goes through the Northern Delta and Thanh – Nghe – Tinh Delta. General topography tends to tilt to the East. Because the route stretches across the areas of overlap between Deltas, plains before mountains and low-to-high mountains; the topography constantly changes throughout the route length. •According to the distribution of main factors forming the entire route topography (deltas, mountains, etc.) can describe general topography of the expressway as follows: •From Km260 to Km277, in front of Tam Diep range: •The route runs completely in the coastal side of the Northern Delta and the transition area from the Northern delta region to Thanh – Nghe – Tinh delta. The terrain is flat, high to the south and inclined to the east; the level of cleavage is negligible. •This type of terrain is formed by sea sedimentary and sea-swamp mixture. •From Km277 to Km294, within Tam Diep range: •This section runs through Tam Diep range, the topography is strongly cleaved by the slots, valleys, etc., big elevation, which is unfavorable. Especially, Van Le region, the route passes by Tam Diep range has very difficult terrain (limestone mountain). •From Tam Diep range to Km355: •Passing Tam Diep range, the basic plans of routes running in the Thanh-Nghe-Tinh coastal plain area. This plain is horizontally narrow, alternating low mountain ranges. Therefore, the terrain is flat alternating sections cleaved by low hills along the edge of the plain. Especially section passing through the area between two rivers (Ma and Chu rivers) located in low-lying land is expected with soft soil. •From Km355 to Km380+705 (end of Nam Dinh – Nghi son) This section runs along the valley between mountains or foot of low hills, so the terrain is cleaved, but not much high. However, at some local points (end route), the route passes high and narrow mountain ranges, rugged and cleaved terrain; the route passes Yen My Reservoir with significant length. •From Km380+705 to Km478+918 (end of the expressway) Thanh Hoa province Nghe An and Ha Tinh provinces 2 Topographic condition 4-1 3 Geological conditions Thanh Hoa – Ha Tinh Expressway runs along the North-South, as the same direction with National Highway 1A and the North-South railway, passing through Thanh Hoa, Nghe An and Ha Tinh provinces. Almost the routes run through the Thanh – Nghe – Tinh coastal plains. The topography tends to till the East. In general, the terrain is quite flat, cleaved by the system of rivers and streams (Ca river, Cua Lo river, etc.) and range of hills on the edge of plain. The area with most cleaved is the beginning route (about 10km), especially Xuan Duong lake. The route in the section passes through a high mountain range in west-east direction nearly perpendicular to the route direction. This is also the proposed route for building tunnels. In the rest section, terrain is generally favorable for the design, construction and implementation of the project. •Based on topography, geomorphology, geological structures, the distribution of rock formation, etc.; the general geological features along the proposed expressway can be described as follows: •From Km260 to Km277, in front of Tam Diep range: •In this section, two alternate routes run along the side of the Northern delta, the terrain is quite flat. •This area’s terrain surface is covered by sedimentary mbQ21-2hh. This is the main clay formation popular in the Northern delta. Main compositions are clay mixed with grey, greenish grey, golden grey organics; mixed with organics of different decomposition levels. Some sections may have peat coal or soil of peat coal. The formations are often covered in sand of the same origin or mQ13vp spotted weathering clay of 10~15m thick. Distributed within 50m is gravel sand at the beginning route and limestone layer in Dong Giao formation (T2a g). •Embankment in these areas should consider special solutions (sand well, vertical artificial drain, sand compaction pile, soil cement pile, etc.) during construction. The section bordered with Tam Diep range should consider carter phenomenon during construction of bridges and culverts. •From Tam Diep range to Km355: •Except for Km294 to Km315, the West plan, the route runs through the area with several low hills, on the formation of clay deposit slope of grey-brown, yellowish grey, weathered from calcareous shale rock, limestone powder, quac-zit sand and spotted clay sediments mQ13vp and loam, clay sand bmQ23tb distributed in valleys between low hills and mountains. This route is generally favorable; filling and backfilling ground are favorable for construction and highly stable. However, it should be noted that the distribution of sediment bmQ23tb – a very weak soil that may require special treatment during the construction of high embankment, road to bridges. •In the remaining sections, the route runs through fairly flat terrain, on the formation of sediment mQ21-2 hh and a, amQ23tb. This is also the region with much weak soil bmQ21-2, but the distribution is not continuous and the thickness is not large. This area still gathers the weakest soil on the whole route. The layer bearing load of bridges and culverts is mainly formed by calcareous shale, shale, powder and sandstone distributed in the common depth of about 20~30m. •From Km355 to Km380+705 (end of section Nam Dinh – Nghi Son) This sections runs along valleys between mountains, or at the foot of low hills, on the formation of sediment mQ21-2 and amQ23 clay, soft to hard plastic clay, thin and alternating in these valleys. Stones here are mainly sandstone, powder of Dong Do formation T3n-r 1and pebbly sandstone, pudding rock, grit, shale, silica powder of Dong Trau formation T2a t1 are generally favorable for bridges and culverts using piles. •From Km380+705 to Km416 Except for ~1Km in Mong Ga hill and ~0.5Km in the section Km399 runs through high mountain; most of this section runs in a narrow valley among mountains. This feature dominates geological features in this section without weak soil; sedimentary formations and sediments alternates each other with the length is not greater 5~15m, correspondingly the bearing layer. In general, geological conditions are very favorable, even for tunnel plan or open digging through Mong Ga hill. •From Km416 to Km433 The route runs on relatively flat terrain along the edge of plain, in the basin of Cau Bung, Lach Van and Do Che rivers, etc. The sedimentary formations begin to dominate, increasing thickness to 30~40m and above 45m; correspondingly the load bearing layer is distributed deeply. 4-2 Thus, the most unfavorable geological condition in this section is the appearance of weak sediments. However, the weak soil is not distributed deeply and can use traditional solutions to process. •From Km433 to Km439 The route runs on a relatively flat terrain interspersed with a few low hills (island hills). The sedimentary formations/ vestiges whose thickness is not large, not exceeding 20m, usually 5~10m; corresponding to expanded distribution. In general, the geological conditions of this section are very favorable. •From Km439 to Km445 This route runs on the high mountain, with the highest natural terrain of the project. Sedimentary overlap is very thin, only 1~3m; followed by sandstone weathered at different level, in which the weathered zone with RQD>50% distributed mainly at the depth of 5~10m. General stratigraphic characteristics are favorable for tunnel plan and open digging. •From Km445 to Km464 The route runs through relatively flat terrain interspersed a few low hills (island hills). The sedimentary formations/ vestiges whose thickness is not large, usually 10~20m; and 30m for special area. Bedrock distributed not over 20m, particularly 30m; the bedrock within the survey scope is sandstone weathered at different levels. In general, the geological conditions are very favorable. •From Km464 to the end route Except for a very short period at the end of Km472 cutting through the saddle area between Thanh and Non mountains. Then, the route runs on a very flat terrain in the basin of Lam, Nghen and La Giang river. This is the only section of the Project running on plains with geological features: the overlay is very thick, above 50m; including formations of fine-grained (clay, loan clay) and sand, gravel; all originated from river sediment that is typical in this area. 4 5 Flora, fauna Protected area There is no weak soil in this section. However, surface layer of clay/ loam clay with SPT of about 6~12. In case the embankment is too high (above 7m); solutions for slip stability shall be considered. In short, this is the only route of the Project going through plain. However, this section has no weak soil; bearing layer is not distributed deeply. Thus, the geological conditions are very favorable. Vietnam is the world's 16th richest nation of biodiversity (biodiversity index: 6.5% share in the world). According to recent statistics, among terrestrial species, in Vietnam, there are 15,986 plant species (including 4,528 lower plants and 11,458 vascular plants) 10% of these are endemic species, and in terms of fauna, 307 species of roundworm (Nematode), 161 tapeworm species, 200 earthworm species (Oligochaeta), 145 Arcartia species (Arcartia), 113 springtail species (Collembolla), 7,750 insect species (Insecta), 260 reptiles species (Reptilia), 120 amphibian species (Amphibia), 840 bird species (Aves), 310 mammal species and sub-species. According to IUCN Red list of Endangered Species (IUCN, 2004), Vietnam has 289 globally endangered animal and plant species. Vietnam Red Data Book (MONRE) lists 1,056 threatened wildlife species at national level. In comparison with records of the first version of Vietnam's Red Data Book (1996 version), the current number of such species increased considerably, 1056 species against 721 species. Incidentally, the expressway are not to mention already existing road districts and provinces, according to result of interview and confirmation to provincial governmental departments as DARDs, DONREs. There are not of any vegetation or inhabited area of endangered or rare species enlisted in the Red Data Book. In Vietnam, there are 129 protected areas, in which 27 are national parks; 60 are natural and habitat reservation areas, 37 cultural - historical - environmental reservation areas, and 5 world heritage areas. In the project area, there are two protected areas close to the expressway: (i) Tam Quy – Sen forest protection area at national level; (ii) Do mountain protection area is also at national level. Detailed description of the protection areas are mentioned in the section of detailed description of the expressway. Source: Study Team 4-3 (2) Environmental Quality Baseline Environmental quality in the region is analyzed based on reference annual reports from respective provinces as Ninh Binh, Thanh Hoa, and Nghe An. For each environmental indicator, five to six locations along the expressway in the region is analyzed, preliminarily representing whole environmental quality along the expressway 1) Air Quality Selection of locations for air quality assessment is based on criteria as (i) residential areas nearby the expressway that potentially affected during construction and operation; (ii) residential areas close to both expressway and local roads that cumulatively affected by both construction activities and local transport along existing local crossing roads. Totally six locations referenced from existing annual reports are chosen for analysis. Environmental parameters consist of: PM10, TSP, CO, NO2, SO2, HC (hydro carbon from gasoline). Sampling results show in Table 4-2 that all measured values for environmental parameters are under permission values given in national regulation on air quality (QCVN 05:2009/BTNMT). This can be explained by the characteristics of rural area with low density of vehicle transport in the local roads as well as in the region. Because the designed expressway crosses mostly rural areas with paddy fields, it can be inferred that air quality in the region has been maintained in good condition.

However, noise measured nearby national roads crossing the region as NH-1A is 1.1 times higher than the permission level. It can be seen that, due to low density of vehicle transportation within rural areas along the expressway, existing noise impact is neglected on rural areas but areas nearby national roads as NH-1A.

These locations are representatives of surface water areas along the expressway that potentially be affected by construction activities, including rivers and reservoirs nearby the expressway. Environmental parameters include: temperature, pH, conductivity, turbidity, DO, TSS, N, P, Fe, BOD5, COD, oil and coli form. All physical parameters and pH measured are under permission values given in the national regulation for water drinking purpose (QCVN 08:2008/BTNMT A1, refer to Table 4-4.). Results show that all collected water sources give signs of organic contamination in the aspect of water sources for drinking. Environmental parameters as TSS, NH4+, NO2, and BOD5 in Yen My all higher 1.1 to 1.5 times than permission values. Besides, due to water demands on the reservoir, oil spreading to the reservoir 2 times higher than the permission value. Sampling results also show that heavy metals as Fe concentration in the water sources are much lower than permission values. 4-5 Table 4-4 Existing Surface Water Quality in Sampling Locations Parameters Temperature pH Conductivity Turbidity DO TSS NH4+ NO2NO3Fe BOD5 COD Oil Total Coliform Code M1 M2 M3 M4 M5 4) Unit ℃ s/m NTU mg/l mg/l mg/l mg/l mg/l mg/l mg/l mg/l mg/l MPN/ml M1 31.5 7.1 41.5 15 3.5 25 N/A N/A 7.76 0.113 9.3 17.1 0.06 200 Surface water quality M2 M3 M4 29.5 31.5 33.7 6.7 7.1 7.05 18.6 20.3 8.6 6 61 3 3.5 2.9 6.8 13 273 23 N/A N/A 0.149 N/A N/A 3.02 3.93 1.81 0.07 0.115 0.163 0.128 8.1 6.3 3.8 16.8 11.8 8.1 0.01 0.13 0.02 30 1700 78 Location In Day river at section crossing project expressway Ben Quan river in Ha Long commune, Ha Trung district In Ma river, section at Dinh Cong commune, Yen Dinh district In Yen My Reservoir, Tinh Gia district In North canal of Chu river, section at Dong Xuan commune, Dong Son district Source:Study Team M5 32.6 6.18 20.6 80 2.3 178 N/A N/A 1.55 0.159 4.6 8.5 0.13 680 QCVN 08:2008/ BTNMT (A1) 6,5-8,5 >=6 20 0.1 0.01 0.5 4(20oC) 10 0.01 2500 Station Km270+500 Km295 Km311 Km365 Province Ninh Binh Thanh Hoa Thanh Hoa Thanh Hoa Km328 Thanh Hoa Underground Water Quality Underground water sources were collected by open wells in residential areas in the provinces (Ninh Binh, Thanh Hoa, Nghe an). Six locations for sampling of underground water as shown in Table 4-5 are analyzed, typically representing underground water sources along the expressway. Results show that all the monitored underground water sources are not affected by hazardous substance as in comparison to national regulation (QCVN 09:2008/BTNMT). Almost underground water sources are affected by heavy metals as Fe with concentration of 4.1 times higher than permission level. Moreover, Mn exceeds standard values 1.4 to 1.67 times.

Table 4-6 Detailed Environmental Condition along the Expressway Route by Section Location Detailed Description •Section 1: beginning of the expressway to km 275 The road section is located in the rural region with villages, agricultural cultivation areas and irrigation & drainage system of canals and rivers. Geographic characteristic: The road-section within Nam Dinh province (from beginning point to km265) is located in the low land area with elevation changes from 1.2 to 1.4m. Cultivation area is from 0.5 – 2m while tertiary irrigation system is from 0.1 - 0.2m and rivers’ is from -6.0 to -5.0m. Residential area is located in higher elevation, changes around 3m and the same of local roads. Residential distribution and local infrastructure The road section crosses areas in Y Yen district (Nam Dinh province) and Yen Khanh, Hoa Lu, Yen Mo districts of Ninh Binh province. Residential areas are located nearby agricultural area and the road section. Houses are firmly constructed but mainly at grade 4 – tile roofed houses (popularly designed in rural area). Traffic road system includes inter-commune road and inter-district roads facilitates local resident’s assessing. Other public facilities as schools, markets, medical stations are also available. Electric are fully provided. Water for daily used are mainly from open-wells and drilled-wells. Water sources Day river The largest river in the region is Day river. The river is located in Y Yen district (Nam Dinh province) at around Km 265. The river is in the system flooding relief of Red river delta. However, with embankment system along the Day river, no over-flow water phenomenon from Day river to the area at the location of the road has been found. No flora and fauna in the red list are found in the region including Day river. Other rivers as Vac in Nam Dinh province (Km270+385), Vo in Ninh Binh province 4-7 (Km272+110) are water sources for regional irrigation & drainage which connects to Day river and Hoang Long river respectively. Cultural religion Baddish and Christian are popular religions in Nam Dinh and Ninh Binh in which, baddish account up to 80% of the total. No minor ethnic residents are in the area of road section •Section 2: Km 275 to Km310 Main roads of the region National road No. 1A is a main road crossing the expressway. The remaining is local road system including inter-commune and inter-district roads. The road section is located in the mountainous area in Ninh Binh (Tam Diep mountain range) and Thanh Hoa provinces. Therefore, Tam Diep tunnel will be applied in the design alternative. Residential distribution and local infrastructure Residential areas are thinly distributed along National road No. 21B and local roads in which, Yen Thinh commune will be separated by the expressway. Water by open wells or drilled wells are fully equipped but assessing roads are earth road popularly creating difficulties during rainy season. Other public facilities as schools, medical stations and markets are available facilitating residential daily life. Road system National road No. 217 and provincial road No. 512, and other two roads connecting National road No. 1A and Tam Diep town are main roads of the region. Water sources Ben Quan Reservoir The expressway crosses Ben Quan Reservoir at Km 295. Total capacity of the Ben Quan Reservoir is estimated about 1.18 x 106 m3 with the catchment area is 22 km2. The reservoir supports water for irrigation of 500 ha in Ha Long commune, Ha Trung district, Thanh Hoa province. Fish growing in the reservoir is an additional purpose. Other water sources as Ben Dang river (Km276+394), Hoat river (Km 298+77) located in Thanh Hoa province which is for irrigation & drainage as well as local water traffic. •Section 3: Km310 – Km365 Cultural relics Underground area of Ha Long commune potentially contains cultural relics on agricultural activities by ancient people who first came to settle the area. Ben Quan itself is an archaeological/memorial site for Tay Son insurgent army collecting in Nguyen Hue dynasty (about 1780); Geographic condition The area is mainly flat land after Tam Diep mountain range. This area is the third largest delta in the country which is for agricultural development. Elevation of cultivation area is about 1 – 2m. Residential area is located on higher area with elevation ranges from 3.5 – 4m. Local roads surface are in range of 5 to 6m. Residential distribution and local infrastructure Residential areas are distributed sparsely nearby cultivation area as a popular habit of Vietnam agriculture. The expressway crosses rural areas and cultivation areas of 7 districts of Thanh Hoa province namely: Ha Trung, Vinh Loc, Yen Dinh, Thieu Hoa, Dong Son, Trieu Son and Nong Cong. In each commune of the region, public infrastructure are fully provided including medical station, schools, cultural houses, electricity and telephone system. Especially, local road systems have been upgraded from earth road to concrete and asphalt facilitating local traffic demand. Drinking water sources for local residents are mainly open wells or drilled wells. But domestic water freely spreads to home gardens or nearby irrigation & drainage canals. Main crops of the regions changes following seasons but mostly includes water rice, sugar canes, and other upland crops as vegetables, cucumbers. Road system The expressway crosses roads at levels: national roads, provincial roads, inter-district roads, inter-commune roads, and other local roads.

The road is separated from the Do mountain by a range of residential houses of Thieu Tan commune distributing along the foot of Do mountain. The basalt Do Mountain with height of 158m is located nearby Chu river. The ancient relics were found mainly on the mountain side with height of 70 - 80m. Archeological survey has been conducted since 1960th for more than 2,500 relics in which, 90% contains pieces as choppers for ape-men’s daily life. Time period of those pieces has not been clearly defined but in the stone age. Some estimated about 400,000 years ago but others supposed 5,000 years ago. Antiques have also been discovered surrounding residential areas as well as in their garden. Some are ancient stone choppers and some are bronze-money, eating bowls and plates from Ly or Tran dynasties (about 1000 years ago). Antiques’ hunting for trading has been popular recently in the areas by residents from neighbor communes as Thieu Van, Thieu Giao. Thanh Hoa province has met difficulties in management of the cultural relic’s area. However, the area is mainly for scientific study. Geographic condition The expressway crosses mountainous areas in both Thanh Hoa and Nghe An provinces. The elevation of hills that the expressway crosses by is in range from 12 – 25m. Elevation of cultivation areas changes from 7 – 8m. Residential areas and local roads are located surrounding hill sides and in valleys of high mountains with elevation changes from 12 – 15m. Residential distribution and local infrastructure Three districts are located within the project area are Tinh Gia (Thanh Hoa province), Quynh Luu and Dien Chau (Nghe An province). Residential areas are distributed on hill sides and valleys of mountain ranges in which, Tan Binh commune village (Quynh Vinh commune, Dien Chau district, Nghe An province) is the most separated by the expressway. Living condition of residents has been improved by public infrastructure upgrading and fully provided with schools, cultural houses, medical stations, electric and telephone systems. Local roads in some areas are still earth roads creating difficulties for traffic and transportation. Water for daily life is popularly provided by open wells and drilled wells. Road system Beside local roads from communities, main roads of the region crossing the expressway are: Provincial road No. 537 (Km405+800), National road No. 48 (Km414+250), Provincial road No. 538 (Km424+600). National railway is also cut through (Km405+800). Those are main transportation routes for provincial demand. Provincial roads and national roads are almost asphalt facilitating transportation requirements. Water sources Hoang Mai river originating from Vuc May Reservoir is a main water source that the expressway crosses. The river supports water for irrigation system in Quynh Luu district and flooding relief from Vuc Mau Reservoir to the sea. Some reservoirs close to the expressway are mainly for agricultural water purposes, such as Khe Nhoi Reservoir (km385 with less than 100m from the road center to the reservoir), Khe Hung Reservoir (separated from the expressway by a range of a mountain in Tan Hoa village, 4-9 Quynh Vinh commune), An Nghia Reservoir (200m away from the road center at km 399), Khe May and Dong Lam Reservoirs (about 150 – 400m away from the road center at Km400). •Section 5: Km416 –Km478 (end of the expressway) Cultural relics No cultural relics are suspected in the region Residential distribution and local infrastructure The area along the road represents rural areas of Nghe An and Ha Tinh provinces except minor road section from 439 – Km444 crossing a range of mountain without residential area. The expressway alignment is adjusted to run within agricultural area and nearby residential area. However, some communes will be separated as Dien Phu, Xuan Duong and Nghi My in Dien Chau district, Nghe An province. In each commune, public infrastructures are fully provided including schools, medical station, electricity and telephone lines and concrete/asphalt local roads. Open wells and drilled wells are popular for daily water usage of local residents. Regional drainage follows local agricultural canal systems while no domestic sewerage systems are installed. Waste water from households is freely discharged to home gardens or local canals. Road system Besides local roads in communes, main roads for regional transportation amongst districts and connecting provinces are cut through by the expressway as: provincial road No. 538 (km424+600), provincial road No. 7 (429+500), provincial road connecting to South East Economic zone (Km434), provincial road No. 534 (446+600), provincial road No. 46 (Km 462+800), provincial road No. 558 (Km467), National road No. 8B and existing national railway (Km469), provincial road No. 542 (Km473+700), and National road No. 8A (Km479 at the end of the expressway). All provincial and national roads and some other local roads are asphalt roads with regular maintenance to support regional traffic demand. Water sources Lam river The expressway crosses the Lam river at Km 473+700. The main river of Nghe An and Ha Tinh provinces is Lam river with multi-purpose for industrial and agricultural development including: (i) water for agricultural irrigation & drainage in districts of Nghe An and Ha Tinh provinces; (ii) flooding relief from up streaming areas in Nghe An, Ha Tinh provinces; (iii) water supply for industrial and residential areas in the two provinces; (iv) important traffic demand by waterway within and amongst the two provinces. Total catchment area of the region is estimated about 27,200 km2. In the region, flooding season lasts from June to November annually however, dyke system on both river sides have been maintained flooding situation for the region which is under management of relevant Department of Agriculture and Rural Development in each province. Some other small rivers in the project areas as La river (a branch of the Lam river), Dao river, Vach Bac canal and local irrigation & drainage canals mainly support regional irrigation and drainage purposes. In the road section crossing mountainous area (Km 438 – Km445), some reservoirs are close to the expressway with main purposes of flooding relief and irrigation for down streaming agriculture development in Dien Chau district (Xuan Duong Reservoir – 200 m away from the road at Km 440,000 reservoir – 100m away from the road at Km 443+600). Cultural relics No cultural relics have been found in the region due to consultation from relevant agencies in the provinces. Source:Study Team (4) Future Prediction (case of without project) a. Expressway Construction According EIA report by TEDI, generally the expressway construction project includes and conducts prior analysis of impacts by environmental impact assessment and prediction of these impacts under the environmental related law and regulations, the project will not give such serious impacts to natural and social environment. 4-10 1) Without project case An alternative of without expressway project, due to increase of traffic volume, serious traffic congestion may be accelerated on existing trunk roads as well as whole regional roads, and it may lead to increase of vehicle emission gas, and these may become global warming cause. Also these conditions will lead to accelerate the degradation of level of regional social environment and living environment for local residents. As a result, these would be affected to the development of regional economic development as well as Vietnamese economic development. 2) Other transport measure There are not an effective and representative transport mean to fulfill recent increased traffic demand and future traffic demand. 3) Alternative route alignment The expressway project is composed an important role of the North-South expressway, the project will be correspondent for congested issues of increased traffic volume and industrial development plan with large volume of distribution of various goods. The project will save transport logistic distance and hours from the northern delta region to the central and the southern region, also it is important role to solve transportation demand within the objective project region and neighboring region. Therefore in case of without project it will be given damage to socio-economic development and health maintenance of local residents in view of regional and national society. Due to high speed traffic and dangerous risky status on existing trunk roads, and these would be resulted accelerate more traffic congestion and difficult to keep road traffic safety. Vietnamese government has been requested to TEDI for FS study on the expressway project for assessing land acquisition, resettlement and environmental impacts. in2010. On the basis of the FS study, in order to minimize and avoid impacts on populated area, agriculture land protected area the project section of the expressway had been proposed. 4-11 4.2 Environmental Improvement Effects with the Project 4.2.1 Project implementation and Environmental Improvement Effects (1) Fuel Consumption and Reduction Effect of Vehicle Emission Gas The project will contribute to solve increase of traffic volume and traffic congestion in future, while increase of CO2 will affect global warming impact due to traffic volume increased. Regarding reduction of vehicle emission gas and fuel consumption due to shorten traveling distance and reduction of traffic congestion, it will effect plus impact to the environment. However the benefit of effect may be canceled by increase of travel distance. The design of the road with median and regulation of bike access in the expressway, it will be safety driving and reducing traffic accident per vehicle hour. (2) Saving of Travelling Hour and Contribution to the Regional Economic The expressway will affect generation of economic cost due to loss of agriculture beside the construction cost, economic advantage by saving fuel consumption and travelling hour will cover these losses. The expressway will vitalize agricultural production, increase of vocational opportunity, and improve accessibility of social services, and balanced fair economic development to the region. (3) Application and Transfer of Japanese Advance Technology To apply Japanese advanced technology and transfer to the project, improvement of O&M efficiency for the expressway, it may expect improvement of service level and management of operation, maintenance. The regional traffic, of which serious traffic congestion will be accelerated worth in near future, will be efficient and improved. Application of Japanese advanced technology will contribute smooth transport logistics, and it will contribute industry and economic in the region. As a result it will give a desirable effect to social environment. (4) 1) Quantitate Analysis on Reduction of Emission Gas as Green House Effects CO2 Emission from Traffic Vehicles at the Project Vicinity Area in Target Year (with project case) Traffic volume demand forecast by vehicle types in target years was analyzed by the study team.

While the without project case CO2 emission will be 4,789 tons per day in years of 2015, and1m 2040 CO2 emission will reach 9,927 tons per day. In comparison of with and without project, with project will reduce 34% to 53% of CO2 emission than the without project case. This is a significant possibility on CO2 reduction effect accordingly. 5) CDM (Clean Development Mechanism) Implementation of the project will reduce greenhouse gas emission, developed countries will promote their advanced environmental technology, energy saving technology will transfer to the under development country. Project with reduction of global warming measure in objective country will be implemented, and comparing to the project without measure, additional emission reduction will be identified, the reduction volume of emission gas CER (Certified Emission Reduction) will be possible to issue. It is able to apply the objective country’s achievement of emission reduction on CER which received by the project implementation, 4-15 4.3 Environmental and Social Impact on the Project Implementation 4.3.1 (1) Environmental Social Consideration Items Necessary in the Next Phase Impact by Expressway Project Appendix 4-1, Table 4-2, screening format and Appendix 4-1, Table 4-3, preliminary environmental review result, will be examined required items of environmental social consideration in next phase. In this sub chapter, related impacts and issues on the expressway project, and mitigation measures shown in detail. a. Summary EIA of the expressway construction project had been done by TEDI in 2010. Mitigation measures which described in environmental management plan (EMP) will be sufficiently conducted, the expressway project will be carried without very serious environmental impact. Implement of effective EMP which includes mitigation measures and monitoring plan, Environmental training and supervision, monitoring will be necessary. The project implementation capability, the owner (PMU1 and PMU6), will be enforced the sufficient supervision capacity to the construction and monitoring. b. Environment 1) Water pollution caused by construction work Construction activities generate temporally water pollution, silting by drainage and excavated earth when sufficient measures will not be taken. These impacts which erosion control, construction activities, drainage treatment discharged from camp site, detail care of chemicals and fuel handling will be effectively mitigated. Solid waste generated by construction site and camp site will be required in properly managed and disposal. 2) Soil erosion Erosion may cause in earthwork section, bridge construction site and steep sloped section in temporally. Mitigation measure will include proper drainage in construction site, careful preservation of surface soil. Downstream of the river at bridge construction site will require concrete and gabion protection if necessary. 3) Water quality changes Construction activities may temporally alteration of water regime of river system and sometime affect clogging the stream. Excavation of borrow pit and reclamation may give attention in dry season of which occur irrigation and drainage problems. The contractor shall be requested secure on 4-16 disturbance of channel flow and irrigation channel for farm land. When irrigation channel has given damage, it should be improved as quickly as possible. 4) Waste and disposal of surface soil Generated waste in the construction site including demolish of structure before main construction begin shall be required recovery and recycle as much as possible. The contractor shall be requested that collection of wastes from camp site, construction site and shall keep clean and hygienic condition. 5) Air pollution During construction, dust generated with construction vehicles and equipment, plants (asphalt and stone crasher) may cause dust and air pollution on air environment. To apply fuel efficiency vehicle and equipment, operation and maintenance of vehicle and equipment, it may be minimize minus impact. 6) Noise and vibration Construction work and transport of truck and heavy equipment will cause noise and vibration impact. Vehicles and equipment shall be maintained properly to avoid noise and vibration. Plant should be allocated apart from inhabited area due easy to give impact. Construction work with noise and vibration shall be made during day time. 7) Handling of hazardous materials During construction, fuel, oil and other hazardous chemicals shall be carefully handled with transportation and storage. Lack of sufficient mitigation measure will cause spillage to surrounding area. The contractor shall apply a certification on hazardous materials and handling, emergency accident action plan shall be prepared. i) Accidents causing injuries Accidents include traffic incidents and labor accidents during construction. The type of accidents causing injuries is a dominant characteristic due to infrastructure construction activities on urban routes. This accident type always sparsely happens. When it occurs, accidents always cause damage at various levels. ii) Accidents caused by chemical explosion/fire This type of accidents always relates to material storage yards. Chemical/materials, which may cause explosion/fire, are mainly gasoline and oil used for plant. iii) Accident expressive chemicals 4-17 Explosive chemicals in the war time shall be detected prior to construction, and secure safety of workers and local peoples passing. Bombshell and land mine shall be removed before construction begin, thee risk should be avoided. 8) Alteration of Water Environment The objective project section it has long span bridges and tunnels. Surface water and ground water will have impact during construction. Minus impact caused by generation of turbid water, diffusion of oil will increase erosion and impact to aquaculture, and these impacts will reach surrounding farm land and residential land. During detail design the survey on water environment to rivers and reservoir, and impacts causing long span bridge and tunnel construction should be identified and proper mitigation measure will be requested. i) Potential impact on Ben Quan Reservoir during construction and operation phases A bridge with length about 688.5m crossing Ben Quan Reservoir is a solution in design. The bridge connects two sides of the reservoir’s banks with span of 40m. Therefore totally 16 piles will be constructed in the reservoir. By the new technology of steel stake-piling for drilled piers, irrigation supporting capacity of the reservoir will not be affected but water quality. Oil spreading and increase of suspended solid due to unused soil, concrete during construction could impact on fish productivity and water quality for irrigation purpose. During operation, risk of unexpected car accidents falling down to the reservoir could increase oil and gasoline spreading as a result, fish productivity and water quality for irrigation will be reduced. Major impact on Ben Quan Reservoir during construction and operation phases shows in Figure 4-1. Figure 4-1 Major Impact on Ben Quan Reservoir during Construction and Operation Phases The expressway crosses Ben Quan Reservoir at Km 295 in Dai Son village, Ha Long commune, Ha Trung district, Thanh Hoa province. Ben Quan Reservoir is located in Ha Long commune, Ha Trung district, Thanh Hoa province. Total water storage capacity is 1.18 x 106 m3 with catchment area of 22 km2. The reservoir supports 500 ha of irrigation in Ha Long commune. Aquatic growing in Ben Quan has been considered by DARD recently. Ben Quan Reservoir Ha Long Commune Road Alignment Source: Study Team 4-18 ii) Impact on water quality in Yen My Reservoir The expressway will pass Yen My Reservoir as shown in Figure 4-2 and water quality of the reservoir will have some impacts. The Yen My Bridge is constructed crossing the Yen My Reservoir with total length of 1,386 m with 4 spans. The location of the bridge is considered 500 off the Yen My dam and 4km away from Water Treatment Plant for Nghi Son industrial zone. However, total three piers will be constructed within the reservoir that may affect water quality level for irrigation and aquatic biomass within the reservoir during construction due to spreading of uncontrolled oil leaks. Figure 4-2 Impact on Water Quality in Yen My Reservoir The expressway crosses Yen My Reservoir by a bridge at Km 365 in Yen My commune, Tinh Gia district, Thanh Hoa province. Water storage capacity in Yen My Reservoir is 124.6 x 106 m3 with depth of 23m. Yen My Reservoir supports: (i) water for irrigation of 5,000 ha of agricultural area in Nong Cong and Tinh Gia districts; and (ii) use of portable water and production activities in Nghi Son industrial zone with total capacity of 55,000 m3/day. Source: Study Team A conflict between acceptable water level for construction of bridge-piers and minimum water level for irrigation and Nghi Son industrial zone demands, especially in dry season might be a risk by the construction activities. According to consultation with the reservoir managers, minimum water requirement for irrigation is 12.0m in depth. The Nghi Son Water treatment plan will be operated in the year of 2012, of which total water capacity become up to 55,000m3/day. Therefore, minimum water level in the reservoir should be recalculated to ensure both use of irrigation and industrial zone purposes. Before construction, calculation of minimum water level in the reservoir shall be analyzed with updated technologies applied to the bridge-pier construction within the reservoir. During operation, risk of unexpected car accidents falling down to the reservoir could increase oil and gasoline spreading as a result, fish productivity and water quality for irrigation will be reduced. 4-19 c. Biogeocenosis 1) Biogeocenosis in the Project Area Almost biogeocenoisis in the project area is forest and agricultural land expected resident area. Possibility of affection by expressway construction to biogeoenosis is low. 2) Fauna and Flora There is no valuable fauna and flora in the project area. However, common fauna (bug, mammal and crawler) range along expressway. Expressway will pass through beside of prevention forest, and capful observation is required at detail design and construction stage. At construction stage, noise and vibration prevention measures are essential to protect from pollution of construction stage. (i) Tam Quy Forest (Protection Area in Thanh Hoa Province) Figure 4-3 Impact on Tam Quy Forest (Protection Area in Thanh Hoa Province) The expressway is directed nearby the national protection area (Tam Quy-Sen forest) about 200m in distance. Forest management office Location is at Km 305 of the express way and within areas of Ha Linh, Ha Tan, Ha Dong communes, Ha Trung district, Thanh Hoa province. Tam Quy Sen forest The forest is located in the mountain with elevation ranges from 50 – 350m while the express way is located nearby the foot of the mountain. 200m Expressway Alignment Source: Study Team i) Brief explanation of Tam Quy – Sen Forest Sen Forest (forest of Madhuca pasqueri) has been a national protection area following Decision No. 194/CT in 1986 by the prime minister. The protection area has been under management of Center for forestry technology application in Ha Trung district. Total area is about 500ha. Sen Forest is the last natural forest on the species in Vietnam. Average population is 450 trees/ha in which, E. Fordii is 87 and M. pasqueri counts up to 363. 4-20 Two economically valuable species in the protection area are Madhuca pasqueri and Erythrophleum fordii (Scientific names) which has been gradually loss in many regions of Vietnam, but in Ha Trung district. While E. Fordii is a good timber, the M. pasqueri provides multiple purposes: wood production, oil extracting from its grain for food, and leaves and its skin for traditional medicine. Fauna species within the protection areas are not in the red list, including: wild boar, Muntjac, squirrel, jungle fowl and lizards. However, fauna species could play some contribution in maintaining the forest. Main threats to the protection areas have been considered as illegal timber exploitation, animals hunting and M. pasqueri-grain collecting for oil. ii) Impact consideration The expressway section crossing area of Tam Quy forest is estimated about 5km from Thung Thi tunnel to the National road No. 247, which is relevant to environmental impact on Tam Quy forest. Road construction requires hundreds of work forces in the 5km of road and hundreds of shifts of transportation vehicles of 7 and 10 tons in 1km section, which is closest to the forest. Therefore, a competitively great number of workers and machines mobilized during construction of the road section. During construction, appearance of workers increases risk of illegal timber exploitation, grain collection and animals hunting within the protection area. The area is characterized by locating within the boundary of three communes, creating difficulties in workers management and relevant administration procedures. This could increase difficulties in forest protection to the center for forestry technology application in Ha Trung District. Dust generation during construction could also affect growth of the trees in the forest by dust covering on the tree-leaves reducing photosynthesis process; Noise generated during construction might give impacts on relocation of the existing animals in the protection areas, threaten to ecological equilibrium; In operation phase, the express way facilitates the evils in escaping and transporting the illegal exploitation activities to the protection area. iii) Proposed mitigation measures However, surrounding the protection area is low population of residential areas. Therefore, effectiveness of the buffer zone shall be considered. Alternative of the mitigation measure may be hard fence separating the protection area and residential areas which has been more considered during detailed design. Figure 4.4 shows a proposed mitigation measure. 4-21 Figure 4-4 Proposed Mitigation Measures By consultation with representative of the Center for forestry technology application in Ha Trung District, green cover for buffer zone along the express-way is necessary for the forest protection in harmony with regional environment. A 200m-range of buffer zone should be covered by a popular tree. Tam Quy Sen Forest Buffer zone or fence consideration Road Alignment Source: Study Team 3) Social Environmental Impacts (i) Resettlement plan i) Project introduction and legal framework The project study is based on the decision of a Prime Minister no.412/QD-TTg dated 11 April 2007 approved for the list of transport investment projects up to 2010; Decision no.7490 dated 26 December 2007 of the Premier office on the implementation of Ninh Binh - Bai Vot Expressway project and Decision no.2667/QD-BGTVT dated 30 August 2007 of Ministry of Transport. The project design considered some alternatives in order to mitigate impacts on environment and social such as minimize passing the residential areas, the public works, cultural or sensitive assets and protection areas etc. ii) Efforts in minimizing land acquisition impacts In a report of TEDI-March 2011, the engineering teams studied about alternatives of the cross sections and alternatives of the routes. The cross sections studied and proposed by TEDI for a Section Ninh Binh- Nghi Son of Thanh Hoa are with three alternatives for phase 1: (i) cross section with 27.5 meter wide (4 lanes) and (ii) two alternatives of cross section with 35 meter wide (6 lanes). The collection road proposed by TEDI is with 5.0 meter wide. There are also 3 studied alternatives of the routes and the comparison of land acquisition impacts analyzed by TEDI is summarized as Table 4-13. 4-22 Table 4-13 Comparison of Three Alternatives of the Routes by TEDI (Section Ninh Binh, Nghi Son of Thanh Hoa) Item Unit 1.

Land acquisition impacts Land acquisition impacts were analyzed by TEDI in early 2011 for two alternatives and as per TEDI descriptions for the survey. Scope of planning clearance boundary to withdraw land permanently for building the route has road base for 6 traffic lanes, including farm road. Clearance boundary is determined to be road protection land proportion in accordance with the Decree No.11/2010/ND-CP dated February 24th, 2010 of the Government prescribing the management and protection of road infrastructure facilities, accordingly, the road protection land proportion is calculated from the outer edge of road base (time of the embankment or outer margin of the longitudinal groove at un-excavated and un-embanked road or top margin of cut roof) to each side 10m. In accordance with the Decree No.11/2010/ND-CP prescribing the management and protection of road infrastructure facilities, safety corridor of the expressway with width from road base to each side is 47m. Withdrawn land is the area in clearance boundary of the Project. Surveying results show that following types of lands will be affected in the project area: - Residence land (Land for building house) - Garden land adjacent to housing area. Garden area adjacent to residence land is understood as garden areas in the same campus with housing area. - Forestry land: hill land for growing eucalyptus tree, etc. - Land for growing concentrated fruit trees: mango, pomelo, orange, mandarin, custard-apple, etc. - Agricultural land: rice, vegetable and farm produce 4-24 Results of survey by alternatives are shown in Table 4-16 to Table 4-19 and detail result shown in Appendix 4-1, Table 4-7 to 4-10. c.

This is the total number of households and citizens including households losing land for building land, agricultural and production forest land. The number of households losing residential land and houses is about 672 households, of which, approximately 95 households in Thanh Hoa, 486 ones in Nghe An and 91 ones in Ha Tinh. (ii) Compensation, assistance and resettlement i) Affected Persons (APs) The APs include the following persons and organizations: a. Persons whose houses and/or property are in part or in total affected by the Project; 1. Persons whose agricultural and/or residential land are in part or in total affected (permanently or temporarily) by the Project; 2. Persons whose crops (annual or perennial) and trees are affected in part or in total by the Project; 3. Persons who affected by land acquisition for the relocation sites, if required to be developed for the project APs. ii) Non-eligible APs include those making claims based on subsequent occupation after the project cutoff date. Cut-off date of eligibility to compensation, assistance and resettlement The cut-off-date means the date prior to which the occupation or use of any part of the project area makes residents or occupiers or users of the same eligible to be recognized as APs. The cutoff date of the project will need to be decided by the PMUs and Project Provinces and then announce to all of APs. The cut-off date will be stated in RP later. iii) Compensation, assistance and resettlement entitlement The project entitlements developed and presented in the entitlement matrix below correspond to the potential of impacted categories identified during the initial survey. Entitlements adopted are based on Government laws and International Standards on Involuntary resettlement. It should be noted that 4-27 these entitlements may be enhanced, as necessary, following the conduct of IOL and consultation with APs in next phase of the project study to ensure that losses are restored and peoples’ livelihood are stabilized or improved. (iii) Resettlement arrangement and income restoration and rehabilitation i) Number of relocating households The compensation for residential land plots will be either in kind (plots) at the relocation sites or in cash at replacement cost. The estimated number of households who would be affected by residential land and houses by a section Ninh Binh-Thanh Hoa are about 1,285 households (56 households in Nam Dinh, 320 households in Ninh Binh and 909 households in Thanh Hoa province). The number of households losing residential land and houses by a section Thanh Hoa-Ha Tinh is about 1,071 households, of which, approximately 70 households in Thanh Hoa, 853 HH in Nghe An and 148 HH in Ha Tinh. ii) Budget preparation for resettlement The number of relocating households will be more accurate through IOL for preparing the RP later in next phase. Table 4-39 shows cost estimation on preliminary analysis for resettlement. However the estimation is not IOL survey conducted, it is not accuracy on number of trees, graves, and public facilities. Detail resettlement cost estimation is shown in Appendix 4-1, Table 4-17. iii) Relocation arrangement The resettlement arrangements are followed with the Articles 33 to 38 of Decree 197/2004/ND-CP and Decree 84/2007/ND-CP. The resettlement site must be at least as the same conditions of the affected villages or otherwise improved and as close as possible to the affected communities. Fully affected residential plot with house (households have to be relocated): Plot no longer viable for continued use and the entire property to be acquired. This will be determined by the District Compensation, Assistance and Resettlement Committees and concurred with by the affected household during DMS. iv) Monitoring and evaluation a. Internal Resettlement Monitoring Internal Monitoring is the responsibility of PMU1 and PMU6 and the District Compensation, Assistance and Resettlement Committees with support from the project consultants and local authorities. 4-28 PMU1 and PMU6, through their Environment and Resettlement Teams, will submit semi-annual monitoring reports to the Provinces and financier. Internal monitoring reports will include but not limited to the following information: 1. Number of displaced persons and categories, status of compensation payment and relocation of APs. 2. Status of disbursement of compensation payment to APs. 3. Status of income restoration planning and implementation issues 4. Results of complaint handling and any pending issues that require management attention and action 5. Concerns and needs raised by severely affected households, poor and vulnerable groups and how these concerns are being addressed. b. External resettlement monitoring The main objective of external resettlement monitoring is to provide an independent periodic review and assessment of (i) achievement of resettlement objectives; (ii) changes in living standards and livelihoods; (iii) restoration of the economic and social base of the displaced persons; (iv) effectiveness and sustainability of entitlements; and (v) the need for further mitigation measures as required. iv) Grievance mechanism A well-defined grievance redress and resolution mechanism will be established to address DP grievances and complaints regarding land acquisition, compensation and resettlement in a timely and satisfactory manner. All APs will be made fully aware of their rights, and the detailed procedures for filing grievances and an appeal process will be publicized through an effective public information campaign. The grievance redress mechanism and appeal procedures will also be explained in the PIB that will be distributed to all APs. The AP complaints can be made verbally or in written form. In the case of verbal complaints, the committee hearing the complaint will be responsible to make a written record during the first meeting with the AP. The APs will be exempt from or PMU1 and PMU6 will pay for all administrative and legal fees incurred in the resolution of grievances and complaints. The external monitoring agency will be responsible for checking the procedures for and resolutions of grievances and complaints. (v) Cost estimation proposed a. Cost for implementation of mitigation measures 4-29 The cost for organization, training, dissemination, procurement, operation of equipment, and manpower for implementation of mitigation measures in and out of the site in accordance with the client requirements are integrated in construction package. Contractors will be responsible to study, prepare alternatives and offer cost estimation for these activities. b. Monitoring cost i) Cost for frequent monitoring of Construction Monitoring Consultant (CMC) The Contractor when participating in bid competition of CMC packages under the project are responsible for proposing organization and monitoring plan on the Contractor’s compliance of mitigation measures. CMC will be required to arrange staff and detailed working plan to serve environmental sanitation and labor safety management on and around the site. The cost for this assignment will be proposed in the contract agreement with CMC. Cost for CMC hiring will be defined later depending on construction works. ii) Cost for community monitoring system According to Vietnam legislation, the participation of community-based monitoring system will be primarily in voluntary mode without any assistance cost. Activities from community-based monitoring system should be approved by Communal Fatherland Organization. Therefore, no cost estimation is made for this item in the project. iii) Monitoring cost of Independent Environmental Monitoring Consultant (EMC) PMU will have a contract with EMC during construction phase of the project. EMC will implement assignments of all project components as mentioned in TOR. By initial estimation, 13,000 USD is rated for each periodical monitoring report (every 6 months) in total 48 months of construction and 12 months during operation. Initial cost for EMC implementation is 130,000 USD. iv) Implementation cost of environmental quality monitoring program Based on the above-mentioned monitoring program, the estimated cost for implementing environmental quality monitoring program is presented in the annex. Results for cost estimation are about 101,694 USD. c.

Cultural relics area – Do Mountain The location is at Km 320 of the express way an in Thieu Tan commune, Thieu Hoa district, Thanh Hoa Province. The road is separated from the Do mountain by a range of residential houses of Thieu Tan commune distributing along the foot of Do mountain. Road alignment Source: Study Team i) Brief introduction on Do Mountain – the area of cultural relics The basalt Do Mountain with height of 158m is located nearby Chu River. The ancient relics were found mainly on the mountain side with height of 70 - 80m. Archeological survey has been conducted since 1960th for more than 2,500 relics in which, 90% contains pieces as choppers for ape-men’s daily life. Time period of those pieces has not been clearly defined but in the Stone Age. Some estimated about 400,000 years ago but others supposed 5,000 years ago. Antiques have also been discovered surrounding residential areas as well as in their garden. Some are ancient stone choppers and some are bronze-money, eating bowls and plates from Ly or Tran dynasties (about 1000 years ago). Antiques’ hunting for trading has been popular recently in the areas by residents from neighbor communes as Thieu Van, Thieu Giao. Thanh Hoa Province has met difficulties in management of the cultural relics area. However, the area is mainly for scientific study. Figure 4-6 shows ancient relics found in Do Mountain area. 4-32 Figure 4-6 Ancient Relics Found in Do Mountain Area Ancient pieces Ape-man skull Stone chopper Source: Do Mountain cultural heritage web site ii) Impact consideration By statistic in the FS design, construction of the Nui Do Bridge (crossing Do Mountain) requires great number of work forces (1,426,159 work forces). Increasing ancient relics hunting within the mountain area is a main risk during construction and operation phases due to presence of workers and increase of difficulties in personnel management from both construction contractors and communal authorities. Therefore, social disturbance, evils and conflicts between local residents and workers could be a risk during construction. Loss of ancient relics during road foundation construction is another risk when no warning from contractors to workers. iii) Opportunity to find during construction Cultural relics may be found in the road foundation in Ha Long commune and within reservoir at piling construction. Damaging of the found relics is a potential risk during construction. For 4-33 mitigation measures, chance find procedure as mentioned above shall be applied. Risk of reducing water quality for irrigation in Ben Quan Reservoir iv) Proposed mitigation measures Strict management of workers as temporary residence registration should be implemented by both contractors and local People’s Committees; finding chance procedure is proposed bellow of which, responsibilities of each party is clarified. If the Contractor discovers archeological sites, historical sites, remains and objects, including graveyards and/or individual graves during excavation or construction, the Contractor shall: 1. Stop the construction activities in the area of the chance find; 2. Delineate the discovered site or area; 3. Secure the site to prevent any damage or loss of removable objects. In cases of removable antiquities or sensitive remains, a night guard shall be arranged until the responsible local authorities or the Department of Culture and Information takes over; 4. Notify the Construction Supervision Consultant who in turn will notify responsible local or national authorities in charge of the Cultural Property of Viet Nam (within 24 hours or less); 5. Relevant local or national authorities would be in charge of protecting and preserving the site before deciding on subsequent appropriate procedures. This would require a preliminary evaluation of the findings to be performed. The significance and importance of the findings should be assessed according to the various criteria relevant to cultural heritage; those include the aesthetic, historic, scientific or research, social and economic values; 6. Decisions on how to handle the finding shall be taken by the responsible authorities. This could include changes in the layout (such as when finding an irremovable remain of cultural or archeological importance) conservation, preservation, restoration and salvage; 7. If the cultural sites and/or relics are of high value and site preservation is recommended by the professionals and required by the cultural relics authority, the Project’s Owner will need to make necessary design changes to accommodate the request and preserve the site; 8. Decisions concerning the management of the finding shall be communicated in writing by relevant authorities; 9. Construction works could resume only after permission is granted from the responsible local authorities concerning safeguard of the heritage. v) Response methods in general During construction, unrevealed works, vestiges and remains might be detected. The Contractor and relevant agencies shall be responsible to protect these works/vestiges until they are handed over 4-34 to competent authorized agencies. Risks/hazards are diversified and some response methods for common events /circumstances are shown in Table 4-23. Table 4-23 Response Methods in Common Events/Circumstances No. 1 Events Detect cultural objects or those which are suspected to be archaeological objects 2 Find out graves during excavation 3 Complaints of the community on environmental matters relating to construction activities Accidents occur in construction or operational phase 4 5 Detect materials explosive Actions The Contractor keeps unchanged the current site situation and report to the construction supervision/monitoring consultant (CMC)/PMU, local museum and Department of Culture and Information in the local area Deliver detected objects to museum/functional agency Review and decide whether excavation can be continued or stopped for further survey Director of Department of Culture and Information in the local area will be responsible to manage objects following Article 21 of Decree No.92/2002 regarding guidance on implementing cultural heritage laws Protect the current status and inform local authority Determine methods and assign to relevant individuals, implementation time and relocation places (if any) Implement proposed methods Immediately implement improvement methods if possible Make notes and records in the construction diary Discuss with Client/local authority if there is any conflict Give first aid treatment and move victims to the nearest medical center if necessary Install danger sign-boards Prepare minutes and description of the accident Protect the site Inform local authority Contact local army unit to request for support Source: Study Team Responsibility Contractor, Supervision CMC in coordination with Contractor Department of Culture and Information Contractor, agencies relevant Contractor Contractor, PMU and local authority Workers and community near the place where accidents happen. Contractor, Client and local authority Contractor in coordination with local authority (vii) Underpasses on potential problems Underpass is a solution for crossing many local roads, has been considered technically in its design. Total number of underpasses in the project accounts in 92 along 220km from Nam Dinh to Ha Tinh province. Their dimensions have been followed national design standard in which, height-distance is 3.5m to facilitate residential demands in local areas. However, less case of experience on existing expressways, some minor improvement should be applied in further step of design consideration as followed: Direction of underpass should be in line with existing road; elevation height of underpasses should be incorporated with local road elevation. Figure 4-7 shows underpasses on potential problems. 4-35 Figure 4-7 Underpasses on Potential Problems When direction of the underpass-alignment is always perpendicular to expressway route, a zigzag line incorporated from local road and underpass could reduce observation capacity of passengers. Therefore, underpass alignment should be in line with local road in the detailed design, facilitating local demand. Underpass and local road are in line Road alignment Experience learned from existing expressway, elevation height of the underpass is not incorporated with planned local road elevation. Increase of local road elevation lead to local flooding within underpass area and affects local environment and local traffic capacity. Therefore, elevation of the underpass should be considered with local road elevation plan in further step of design. <3.5m Existing local road 3.5m Underpass Planned local road Source: Study Team (viii) Impacts on local irrigation system 1) A pumping station is potentially relocated at KM.276+400 Figure 4-8 shows impacts on local irrigation system. The expressway crosses irrigation and drainage canals in 4 provinces (Nam Dinh, Ninh Binh, Thanh Hoa, Nghe An). Totally 353 culverts crossing expressway and relocated canals have been shown in the FS study by TEDI which could be seen popular solutions. Many of them are earth canals. Experiences learned from relevant problems on existing expressway, sludge and sediment are accumulated in the crossing section of the culverts that lead to reduce water conveyance capacity. As a result, water-shortage and local inundation along the expressway are to become a problem during operation. Technical design of irrigation and drainage standards should be incorporated with practice of dredging capacity of culverts at crossing the road. Therefore, dimension of culverts should be studied in the further step of design for both constraints as: (i) irrigation and drainage capacity; and (ii) dredging capability along the culverts crossing expressway; Another recommended solution is to reduce sedimentation of sludge and soil along the culverts, and the construction of tank for collecting sand and sediment soil at location of canal on both sides of the expressway. Regulation gates for culverts should also be considered in the detailed design. 4-36 Figure 4-8 Impacts on Dong Nan Local Irrigation System. Dong Nan drainage pumping station is located in Ninh Van commune, Hoa Lu district, Ninh Binh province. The pumping station has 3 pumps with total capacity of 2400 m3/h for 30ha drainage of agricultural area within Ninh Van commune to Ben Dang river. The expressway potentially requires relocation of the pumping station that should be early considered to reduce impact of flooding on agricultural area in Hoa Lu district. The designed culverts crossing expressway potentially reduce irrigation and drainage capacity during operation. Source: Study Team (ix) Impacts on local cultural heritages and other sensitive places According to document review and field site survey, the expressway alignment has been adjusted that no cultural relics such as pagodas, temples, churches are affected by land acquisition. All surveyed pagodas and temples are away of 100m to 234m from the Right of way (ROW) of the expressway. However, some tombs or cemeteries from local residential areas might be relocated, such cemetery of about 20 tombs in Phuc Hau village, Dong Xuan commune, Dong Son district, Thanh Hoa province. Social Environmental impact emphasized during construction is traffic disturbance and traffic safety issues by the construction activities to local residents, patients, pupils, students and religion-believers in rush hours when they travel to schools, hospital, and religion places. Typical sensitive area may be Dong Xuan primary school in Dong Xuan commune, Dong Son district, Thanh Hoa province as shown Figure 4-8. The expressway will separate Dong Xuan primary school and Phuc Hau village area which potentially disturb access capability for pupils to go and come home from school. Safety access and alternative detour paths during construction shall be prepared in special attention to avoid risks of accidents. 4-37 Figure 4-9 Sensitive Area at Dong Xuan Primary School in Dong Xuan Commune National Rd. 45 National Rd. 47 Expressway Dong Xuan Primary School in Phuc Hau Village, Dong Xuan Commune Source: Study Team Location of the school is apart 31m from the expressway.

Sensitive places along the expressway: All sensitive places are listed in the Table 4-26 which should be considered during construction and operation phases. (x) Epidemic Epidemic should be careful about infrastructure construction site. Generally, epidemic will be caused because of poor hygiene situation at digging works, material transportation and overflow of construction discharged water. Labor and resident will be affected by epidemic. (2) Impacts during Operation Maintenance Phase a. Pollution Measures 1) Air pollution Expressway may secure flow of traffic volume and avoid traffic congestion, air pollution would be minimizing in operation and maintenance phase. Air pollution will be effect on road alignment design, especially inter-junction design. To control vehicle exhausted gas within permissible level, Strengthen of traffic control will be required including regulation of vehicle emission gas. Project implementation body shall be requested to implement in corporate with local traffic police and provincial authority. Due to avoid diffusion of dust, tree plantings along the both side of the expressway will be required as recommended in detail design of future. 2) Water quality Existing natural water (include underground water) will be polluted by defluxion of baleful surfaced water, which pavement oil, oil from accident vehicles, tire, etc. In case of parking space on the expressway development, water should be abided for water regulation in Vietnam. 3) Sedimentary soil Slope surface soil of embankment and cut section will be flow by heavy rain, and sediment at drainage facility, and caused flood along the expressway at rainy season. Cleaning of drainage facility is required at road maintenance. 4) Waste Waste will be arising from toll gate and parking area. Disposal waste will affect to river pollution and deteriorate water quality along the expressway. Disposal waste should be managed by environmental management role and monitoring plan. 4-39 5) Noise and vibration In general noise from expressway may assume to reach the permissible level of residential area even 100m apart from the expressway. Receiver of Noise impact is always residential area. In the detail design stage, location of most nearest residential area shall be identified and considered anti-noise measure, facilitation of anti-noise fences and/or, densely planting of trees will be considered to control less than permissible level of 60dB. b. Natural Environment 1) Prevention area Proposed expressway will pass through beside Tam Quy Sen preservation forest (Thanh Hoa Province). By consultation with representative of the Center for forestry technology application in Ha Trung district, green cover for buffer zone along the express-way is necessary for the forest protection in harmony with regional environment. A 200m-range of buffer zone should be covered by a popular tree. 2) Biogeocenosis (animal) Proposed expressway will not affect to agricultural biogeocenosis. Pavement surface oil from vehicles will affect to existing river water and water biogeocenosis, and interceptor tank should be facilitated to prevent water pollution. 3) Underground water Water vein of tunnel section should be surveyed at detail design phase by boring exploration. Periodic monitoring is required for underground water level and quality. 4) Topography and geology After construction at cut section especially tunnel, slope protection by seed spreading should be considered at detail design and construction phase. c. Social Impact 1) Resettlement Living environment and living recovery is important issue for resettlement residents. Government should monitor and support to influence household cooperation with provincial DOT and resettlement committee especially to the socially vulnerable. 2) Living and livelihood Traffic of motorbike cannot pass through on the expressway, and use existing National Highway No.1. Traffic volume on existing road will reduce because of expressway development. Along area 4-40 will divided by expressway, so box culvert and over pass bridge should be development for resident along the expressway. 3) Land use and local resources Convenience, value of land use along expressway will increase, and economic activities will improve by expressway. And transportation of agricultural goods and industrial goods also will be increased. Land use and local resources condition will improve by the expressway. 4) Distribution baneful influence and benefit Government should monitor fairness of resident along expressway because baneful influence and benefit by development expressway will be caused. Provincial committee should settle the issue regarding fairness of resident along the expressway. 5) Resident of minority and the socially vulnerable There is no minority along the expressway, however should consider for the social vulnerable such as female, children and elderly people. Measurement to the social vulnerable should be studied based on JICA guideline. 6) Cultural assets Increasing ancient relics hunting within the mountain area is a main risk during construction and operation phases due to presence of workers and increase of difficulties in personnel management from both construction contractors and communal authorities. Therefore, social disturbance, evils and conflicts between local residents and workers could be a risk during construction. Loss of ancient relics during road foundation construction is another risk when no warning from contractors to workers. 7) Landscape Long span bridge has possibility to affect existing landscape. In detail design phase, bridge design should be paid attention carefully. 8) Right to use for water resources Oater pollution and fisheries right at river and reservoir should be compensated by provincial government and system for compensation should be established. 9) Labor environment Opportunity of work along the expressway will be increased because of industrial development along the expressway. Labor environment for public welfare and health should be considered. 10) Risk and Hazard 4-41 Population along the expressway will increase and HIV/AIDS hazard will be increased to local communities. Traffic accident on the expressway and along existing highway will be increased. Sufficient management by government should be conducted to occupational health program and traffic safety. 4.3.2 Comparison of Smaller Alternative Selection on Environmental Social Impact Other Than the Project (1) Alternative Analysis Through design review of TEDI’s study, as a whole route alignment of the Expressway would be considered to avoid and reduce local residential area and the protected area. Following 2 section as Ben Quan Reservoir and Yen My Reservoir have been analyzed as alternative alignment. 1) Expressway section from Km292+500 to Km 299 – Crossing Ben Quan Reservoir Description of alternatives is shown in Figure 4-10 and in Table 4-26. Alternative 1: The expressway crosses Ben Quan Reservoir and the army region by a bridge; Alternative 2: The expressway crosses up streaming are of Ben Quan Reservoir to avoid crossing the reservoir.

In 1991, participation to the “United Nations Conference on Environment and Development” was decided, which enhanced mood for Vietnam to adopt the “National Plan for Environment and Sustainable Development: NPESD 1991-2000”, with the assistance of UNDP, etc. In the National Plan, establishments of environmental administrative laws and formation of authorities were suggested, and this became the foundation of enacting environmental law and instituting related administrative system of Vietnam today. The environmental protection basic law in Vietnam is the Law on Environmental Protection (hereon after stated as “LEP”) enacted in December 1993 (effective from January 1994), is stipulated by the Constitution of Vietnam. In article 18 of the legislation, it clarifies on the obligation of the environmental impact assessment (hereon after stated as “EIA”) stating that “the auditing result of the EIA report will be one of the requirements for approval of projects by the competent authority, or receiving approval for the implementation of projects”. However, in fact, there were many cases where EIA reports were drafted and approved after the project’s construction began, and therefore, during the initial stages after the establishment of the old LEP, there were cases lacking in its effectiveness. Among the early Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) and EIA procedural basic regulations, such regulations as “Decree on the enforcement (enactment) of Environmental Protection Law (Decree No. 175, 1994)” and “Circular on the auditing, etc., of EIA for investment projects (Circular No. 490, 1998)”, etc. existed. But in the initial stage of its establishments, there were some differences in their contents, and in parts, implementation requirements were not so clear. Such being the background, previously, the quality of EIA was not so good, the auditing system was not established, and decision making of EIA, and review of project plans were insufficient. On the other hand, in preparation for acquiring WTO’s official membership, mood for establishing of new environmental laws rose, and so the “Vietnam Agenda 21” and “Long term National Environmental Protection Strategy” was drafted, and thus strengthened policy including establishment of global standard legislations were taken into concern (acquired WTO membership in January 2007). Keeping up the trend, in recent years, firstly, the LEP was amended (amendment 2005) by “Decree No. 52/2005/QH11 approved by the 8th congress, 11th National Assembly, dated November 29, which came into effect from July 1, 2006”, and other related law and regulations such as “Providing strategic environmental assessment, environmental impact assessment and 4-48 environmental protection commitment” (Decree No.29/2011/ND-CP dated April 18, 2011 regarding amendments and additions to some articles of Government’s Decree No. 21/2008/ND-CP), ”Law on protection of the environment and detailed regulations, and function, role, authority and organization of MOT (Decree No.51/2008/ND-CP dated April 22, 2008)”, ”Detailed guidance on strategic environmental assessment, environmental impact assessment and environmental protection commitment (MONRE’s Circular No.26/2011/TT-BTNMT dated July 18, 2011)”, “Decree No. 29/2011/ND-CP. Establishment of related laws and regulations, and amendments led to creating the foundation of today’s EIA system in Vietnam. (2) 1) Related Agencies Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MONRE) In accordance with approval by the 9th People’s Congress of the National Assembly held in August 5, 2002, Resolution No,2/2002/QH11 stipulating the list of governmental ministries, offices and agencies including MONRE was adopted. MONRE was established by setting subordinate bodies as integrated authorities. Former General Department of Land Administration Former General Department of Hydro and Meteorology National Environment Agency of (former) Ministry of Science, Technology and Environment Vietnam Department of Geology and Minerals and Institute of Geology and Minerals Section of Water Resources Management, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development In November 2001, Governmental Degree No.91/2002/ND-CP was issued, stipulating MONRE’s function, role, authorization and organization.

Following the decision, DONRE was established at 64 locations including each provinces and the 5 cities under central control (Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh, Hai Phong, Da Nang, Can Tho), and through these Departments, local environmental administrative policies are conducted. (3) Legal Measures and Standards on Environmental and Social Consideration 1) The SEA & EIA System With regard to the environmental procedure, upon amendment of the LEP in July 2006, below three points were stipulated under chapter 3 of the subjected legislation. Item one:Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) Item two:Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) 4-50 Item three:Environmental Protection Commitment (EPC) 2) Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) Procedure a. Article 14 Obligating SEA at the drafting stage of Strategies and Plans as follows: i) Economic Social Development Strategies, Planning, Plans at the National level ii) Development Strategies of Industrial Sector, etc., Planning, Plans nationwide iii) Provincial, Cities’ under central control (here forth stated as “provincial level”) Economic Social Development Strategies, Planning, Plans iv) Land use plans, forest preservation & development, other natural resource development and utilizations covering two or more provinces and districts (v) Key Economic District Development Plans vi) River Basin Integrated Plan covering more than one local provinces b. Implementing period of SEA SEA is an important part of the plans, and therefore, the SEA report must be drafted at the same time as drafting of the plans, etc. (Article 15, item 2). c.

Source: MONRE website information e. Consultations and information disclosure It was noted that during consideration of drafting of Development Strategies and Plans, opinions must be collected from related central ministries, divisions, districts, and scientist and experts. And especially during the consideration of drafting stage of Development Planning with the subjected cities and districts, its draft was stipulated be disclosed to public and must recruit opinion from the residents and people’s committees of the plan’s subjected district (Article 6, item 1 d ., Governmental Decree No. 140/2006/ND-CP) Also, organizations and individuals, were to possess a right to send claims or petitions regarding environmental protection to the auditing committee of the project and organizing agencies and approving authorities, and the auditing committee of the project and approving authorities must consider on these claims and petitions before forming results and making decisions (stipulated in Article 17 item 5 of LEP). 3) Environmental Impact Assessment(EIA)Procedure Previously, the administrative law on EIA procedure was based on Article 18, item 2 of the old LEP. However, EIA subjected projects were not made clear at that point. Thus, a project list in need of EIA was stipulated through “Circular on EIA report auditing, etc., for investment projects (Circular No. 490/1998/TT-BKHCNMT)” enacted in 1998. By amendment of the LEP (which came into effect, from July 2005), projects in need of EIA reporting was presented and initially clarified at the legitimate level (Article 18, item 1). a. Legitimate ground for screening procedure Also, after the amendment of LEP, through Appendix II of “Decree 29/2011/ND-CP on providing strategic environmental assessment, environmental impact assessment and environmental protection commitment” dated April 18, 2011, a detailed list of projects in need of EIA reporting and approval 4-52 was presented, and detailed stipulation on 146 projects were decided. Incidentally, traversing projects of sectors and provinces enlisted in the Decree’s Appendix III comes under the jurisdiction of MONRE, and for other projects, it was decided that the division in charge at DONRE of the district level to handle the case (jurisdiction as per shown below). Divisions in charge 1. Central governmental level: MONRE and competent government offices 2. Local governmental level: People’s Committee (authority in charge: DONRE) Under Appendix II of Decree No. 29/2011/ND-CP dated April 18, 2011 (see Table 4-30), the above stated detailed project list have now been renewed, and currently, based upon this appendix the “screening” procedure in which the necessity of EIA is determined are been processed. Here under, the table shows an extracted part of this appendix, of which items centering around items that may have connection with the subjected project of this report in particular. Table 4-30 shows Decree 29/2011/ND-CP, enlisting projects for which an EIA Report must be prepared.

Vietnam’s EIA Procedure The outline of the EIA procedure in Vietnam based upon current related laws and regulations. Based on Article 18 of the LEP, the project proponent or implementer, upon reference to Appendix of Decree No.29/2011/ND-CP, identifies whether the subjected project requires EIA procedure in which an EIA Report must be drafted. Incidentally in Vietnam, even when EIA procedure is exempted, a substituting procedure called Environmental Protection Commitment (EPC) must be conducted. In Vietnam, however, there are no stipulations on required conditions of consultant firms and researching institutions for conducting EIA. On the other hand, previously, implementing period of EIA was not clarified, but through amendment of the LEP, it is stipulated that EIA reports must be drafted at the same time as the project feasibility study (F/S). (Article 19, item 2 of LEP) Incidentally in the amended LEP, for those projects that requires the EIA procedure, it is clearly stated that “only after the approval of the EIA report, the approval on investment, construction and development can be issued” as opposed to the old LEP (amended LEP, Article 22, item 4) As for reference, items that should be incorporated in the EIA reports are as follows: Detailed outline of the project i) The environmental condition of the project implementing site and surrounding areas, environmental impact sensitivity and evaluation on environmental thresholds ii) Environmental impact, evaluation on to-be-affected environmental constituent factors and socio-economic factors, and risks of accidents, etc. iii) Mitigation measures, and preventive, counter measures of environmental accidents iv) Environmental protection commitment during construction and operation phase of the project v) Environmental management and monitoring plan 4-54 vi) Budgeting for environmental protection vii) Opinions and objections raised from communes and residential communal representatives of the project implementing site viii) Figures for evaluation, and source of data, etc. Figure 4-13 shows EIA procedure in Vietnam Figure 4-13 EIA Procedure in Vietnam Project Determination & Project Investment Report Project listed in Decree No.29/2011/ND-CP Project not listed in Decree No.29/2011/ND-CP Screening EPC(Environmental Projection Commitment) Public consultation / Stakeholder Meeting EIA Project Feasibility Study Scoping Environmental Baseline Survey Impact Analysis Project Assessment Project Implementation & EMP Implementation (Conducting Mitigation) Mitigation Measures Commune People's Committee (CPCs), corelated Fatherland Front Committee Environmental Management Plan (i) Project information, (ii) Mitigation Measures must be disclosed for receiving comment and approval from CPCs & FFCs, within 15 days after information discloure.

Firstly, preliminary estimation on total compensation cost of PAPs’ presumed actual loss of assets, including its scale of impact (residential & commercial structures, residential, agricultural and aqua-cultural land, etc.) was surveyed. Forming a “tentative entitlement matrix” at this review of F/S stage was also necessary, for setting conditions of replacement costs of PAPs assets, based upon marketing price, etc. (for estimation). 1) Result of the Assessment In the reviewed assessment, the road alignment of the subjected road routes was set by the METI study team member by utilization of existing digital maps and aerial maps, and the road design was drawn on the above maps by CAD software. The residential and commercial structures, residential land (including fish pond land) and agricultural land was confirmed and plotted, one by one on the above mentioned CAD processed map. Items to be affected at the project route are shown in the Chapter 4.2. 2) Roles and Responsibilities of Relevant Agencies Roles and responsibilities of relevant agencies on the expressway project are essential in Environmental monitoring system (EMS), Appendix 4-1, Table 4-19 shows roles and responsibilities of relevant agencies in EMS. 3) Estimate of Total Compensation Cost In reference to the result of the “rapid assessment” and tentative setting of the entitlement matrix, and taking in concern the market price based on “replacement cost” of PAPs assets (based upon rapid 4-63 marketing survey toward affected communes conducted by the local consultant), and being one of the requirements based upon JICA guideline as to which JETRO should follows suite, the estimation of total compensation cost resulted as shown in Table 4-38. As a result, in the Ninh Binh – Bai Voi expressway route, a total estimate amount of 7,555 billion VND (Vietnamese Don) will be necessary, or approximately 360 Million USD. On the other hand, the People’s Committee of each five provinces, releases a public announcement regarding land price according to districts, every year on January 1. Incidentally, the compensation cost amount applied in the “Financial, economical feasibility” of this report, is not based upon the compensation cost amount, taking reference to the market price.

Although final decision must be based upon negotiation and agreements among related parties, the METI Study team would like to “make a suggestion (see below)” to all parties involved, to start preparations in building up necessary systems to further advance into the next studying stage. a. Review of EIA, Environmental Management Plan (EMP), Monitoring Plan (MP): By the Vietnamese government, Ministry of Transport (MOT), other relating authorities, and the project enterprise (SPC) (i) Environmental management plan (EMP) i) Environmental monitoring and management plan 4-64 EMP (environmental management plan) proposed in this phase is for initial consideration of sharing responsibilities amongst stake-holders in environmental protection during project implementation. Initial cost estimation in this report-section (including EIA preparation and EMP costs) is also a basis for project finance. However, EMP should be further developed in details during EIA preparation. ii) Environmental management system Organization chart and roles and responsibilities of relevant agencies The proposed EMS (Environmental Monitoring System) is defined in the following chart and table in which, responsibilities and contacts are described in detailed for each party.

Monitoring indicators on compliance with mitigation measures Monitoring assignments of Contractor, CMC (construction Monitoring Consultant) and EMC will be clearly indicated in their terms of reference and Contract documents will be approved by JICA. CMC will be responsible to submit monthly reports which states environmental problems, actions and updated monitoring results. Based on monthly reports and field monitoring trips, EMC will be responsible to prepare and submit semi-annual report to PMU - MOC for making conclusions on environmental problems and the key implemented mitigation measures. 4-65 2. Community-based monitoring Community will monitor the project throughout the implementation process, to ensure contractors do not violate the principles of environmental safety to reduce health risks and environmental deterioration by providing information in batches, and help to fill in assessment of the Contractors Mitigation Measures as well as taking care of people's expectations, contributing to a good environmental management regime. Community-based monitoring helps voluntary reporting and urgent matters feedback. Once environment degradation occurred, community and local authorities will report to relating parties. 3. Environmental quality monitoring indicators Environmental monitoring program will be implemented in 3 phases of the project: Pre-construction phase (environmental baseline), construction phase and operation stage (the first year of project execution). The responsibilities of the Environmental Monitoring Consultant in environmental monitoring are shown in the Appendix 4-1, Table 4-4 which shows an overview of environmental monitoring program. 4. Monitoring report system In order to exchange information effectively, establish a database for monitoring implementation of mitigation measures and create effective operation of EMP, a system of standard report at all levels will be very essential. Appendix 4-1, Table 4-4 shows system of environmental monitoring report. (ii) Capacity Building and Training Actual implementation of projects shows that coordination in environmental management is not always effective because of the following reasons: - Lack of a unified coordination regime which should be established at the beginning of project among PMU, relevant agencies, local authorities at project wards/communes. - Local staff is not familiar with procedures of loan projects, but carry out practices involving and following those of domestic projects with limited participation. - The local community is not fully aware of their rights and obligations on environmental protection or in spite of understanding; there is a lack of regime to provide feedback. - Relevant agencies are always not ready in coordination works during project 4-66 implementation. Some agencies assigned their functional staff to coordinate with the project but this assignment is only temporary and appointed staff does not master the coordination method as well as necessary procedures for discussion and contact with PMU; Based on analysis of current capacity, experiences and actual demands in project implementation, a capacity building and training program for relevant agencies is established as referred in Appendix table 4.5. (iii) Relocation Arrangement The resettlement arrangements are followed with the Articles 33 to 38 of Decree 197/2004/ND-CP and Decree 84/2007/ND-CP. The resettlement site must be at least as the same conditions of the affected villages or otherwise improved and as close as possible to the affected communities. Fully affected residential plot with house (households have to be relocated): Plot no longer viable for continued use and the entire property to be acquired. This will be determined by the District Compensation, Assistance and Resettlement Committees and concurred with by the affected household during DMS. For affected households who opt to receive cash compensation for self-relocation will be compensated in full for all their losses (land and non-land assets) and the necessary relocation and transition allowances. The District Compensation, Assistance and Resettlement Committees and commune authorities to help relocating households through the process of land purchasing and having legal papers for the ownerships. (iv) Monitoring and evaluation i) Internal resettlement monitoring Internal Monitoring is the responsibility of PMU1 and PMU6 and the District Compensation, Assistance and Resettlement Committees with support from the project consultants and local authorities. PMU1 and PMU6, through their Environment and Resettlement Teams, will submit semi-annual monitoring reports to the Provinces and financier. Internal monitoring reports will include but not limited to the following information: 4-67 a. Number of displaced persons and categories, status of compensation payment and relocation of APs. b. Status of disbursement of compensation payment to APs. c. Status of income restoration planning and implementation issues d. Results of complaint handling and any pending issues that require management attention and action e. Concerns and needs raised by severely affected households, poor and vulnerable groups and how these concerns are being addressed. ii) External resettlement monitoring The main objective of external resettlement monitoring is to provide an independent periodic review and assessment of (i) achievement of resettlement objectives; (ii) changes in living standards and livelihoods; (iii) restoration of the economic and social base of the displaced persons; (iv) effectiveness and sustainability of entitlements; and (v) the need for further mitigation measures as required. iii) Grievance mechanism A well-defined grievance redress and resolution mechanism will be established to address DP grievances and complaints regarding land acquisition, compensation and resettlement in a timely and satisfactory manner. All APs will be made fully aware of their rights, and the detailed procedures for filing grievances and an appeal process will be publicized through an effective public information campaign. The grievance redress mechanism and appeal procedures will also be explained in the PIB that will be distributed to all APs. The AP complaints can be made verbally or in written form. In the case of verbal complaints, the committee hearing the complaint will be responsible to make a written record during the first meeting with the AP. The APs will be exempt from or PMU1 and PMU6 will pay for all administrative and legal fees incurred in the resolution of grievances and complaints. The external monitoring agency will be responsible for checking the procedures for and resolutions of grievances and complaints. 4-68 Chapter 5 FINANCIAL AND ECONOMIC EVALUATION 5.1 Estimated Project Cost 5.1.1 Procedure for Estimation of Project Cost (1) Relevant Laws and Regulations in Vietnam Cost estimate for this study was made based on the related laws and regulations issued by Vietnam Government that are shown in Appendix 3. (2) Unit Price Unit prices prepared by each Provincial People’s Committee (PPC) were principally used for cost estimation. Unit prices of PPC and local market were compared in Table 5-1. Table 5-1 Unit Price Comparison Material Unit Reinforcement Steel Bar t Cement PPC (Applied) (VND) Local Market (VND) 16,500,000 t 1,200,000 Source: PPC and quotations from local supplier 18,100,000 1,210,000 Unit prices of PPC were slightly lower than local market prices. Since there were no significant difference between both unit prices, unit prices prepared by PPC were considered as reasonable and used for the cost estimation. (3) Labor Cost Provincial minimum wage prepared in August 2011 was used s labor cost for cost estimation. New labor cost increased by nearly 60% from the previous labor cost. With this increase, project cost has increased by around 10 %. 5.1.2 Construction Cost Direct construction cost was estimated with the following categories. Major structures: River crossing bridge structure, Tunnel structure Structures fall on STEP category were selected from above major structures. Other structures: Small and Medium class bridge, Viaduct, Drainage structure, Road crossing structure, Road work, Earth work, Drainage work, Paving work, Incidental road work, Toll gate, Lightning, ITS (Intelligent Transport System), and Temporary works Costs for major structures and ITS that may fall on STEP category was estimated broken down to foreign and local currencies. 5-1 Construction cost was estimated with the following procedures. Currency rate:1 VDN=0.004JPY The cost of tunnel excavation and lining concrete cost: estimated by the calculated quantity of each construction item multiply by unit cost labor, material, equipment and preparing work. Portal, drainage, base course cost: following the report of TEDI Pavement cost: calculated quantity of the item and labor, material, equipment, preparing cost are estimated M&E cost: estimated by the special professional contractor who has the actual results in tunnels in Vietnam. VAT: added 10% of the total construction cost 5.1.3 Engineering Cost Engineering cost was assumed to be 12% of direct construction cost based on Vietnamese standard. Engineering cost was estimated broken down into foreign and local currencies. 5.1.4 Land Acquisition and Resettlement Cost Land and acquisition and resettlement cost of the project is summarized as follows.

Material contingency was estimated at 10% of direct construction cost and engineering cost based on Vietnamese standard. Price escalation contingency was estimated at 15% to 20% of direct construction cost and engineering cost based on Vietnamese standard. Price escalation contingency 5-2 applied at 15% normally but 20% applied with MOT approval. Price escalation contingency applied at 15% for the north section and 20% for the south section based on the existing F/S report. This project cost estimation excluded project administration cost because that cost managed by Vietnamese side. 5.1.6 Operation and Maintenance Cost Annual operation cost consists of five (5) categories; labor cost, material cost for routine maintenance, car cost for patrolling, water and electric bill for maintenance facilities and consumable cost. Maintenance cost estimation considered increasing of traffic volume in the future. Two different costs were estimated for the first ten years and after the first ten years. Detailed costs of them were estimated based on Da Nang-Quang Ngai Expressway Construction Project Report 2009 with considering of the price escalation during 2009 and 2011. Large scale maintenance was assumed to be required every five years. Cost of the maintenance calculated with the following condition. Area of pavement 22.5m width x 218km length = 4,905,000m2. Unit price of overlay 1,000 JPY/m2 (based on road work in Vietnam). Cost of large scale maintenance every five years was estimated at 4.905 billion JPY/5 years 5.1.7 Total Project Cost (1) Total Project Cost as of 2011 Total project cost including cost of land acquisition and resettlement is shown in Table 5-3. Project cost has increased as the results of design review. Cost of North section increased by 7% and South section increased by 41% from the estimation of TEDI F/S.

Difference of these increasing ratios at 1.6 of the north and 1.52 of the south depend on the ratio of local currency portion to the total cost. Local currency portion of the north section is bigger than that of the south section because of using material procured from Japanese manufacturer in Vietnam. North section has much risk from price increases than the south section. 5.2 Preliminary Economic and Financial Evaluation 5.2.1 Economic Evaluation (1) Objective and Basic Presumptions The major purposes of the economic evaluation is to clarify overall economic feasibilities of the proposed road infrastructure development plan from an economic viewpoint mainly in terms of overall time savings, vehicle operating cost saving, Net Present Value (NPV) of the benefit, Cost Benefit Ratio (CBR) and Economic Internal Rate of Return (EIRR). (2) Methodology Economic analysis is carried out through economic cash flow analysis based on ‘benefit-cost’ analysis. This is analyzed comparatively with both so called ‘social benefits’ derived by the project in the regional economy and ‘social costs’ necessary for the project implementation. The above economic evaluation was conducted in terms of a comparative analysis between benefits and costs. Benefits consist of 1) time saving benefit and 2) vehicle operating cost saving benefit, while costs consist of construction cost and operation/maintenance cost. The indicators adopted here for economic evaluation are the conventional “Cost Benefit Ratio (CBR)” and “Economic Internal Rate of Return (EIRR)”. Evaluation was conducted on the basis of transport demand forecast. This transport demand forecast was conducted for two cases. One case is “With” objective road infrastructure development plans and the other case is “Without” them. (3) Basic Cost In the evaluation, the two basic parameters 1) Travel Time Cost (TTC) and 2) Vehicle Operating Cost (VOC) were set on the basis of the existing similar survey results. The values are shown as follows: 1) Travel Time Cost (TTC) TTC was estimated in two terms. Firstly in terms of the cost per passenger, and secondly in terms of the cost per vehicle. The former was converted to the latter through averaged occupancy (passenger per vehicle). 5-6 Travel time unit cost is available for each type of vehicle though, estimation of total travel time cost is calculated by utilizing of “Passenger Car equivalent Unit (PCU)”. The unit time value can be shown in the following table: Table 5-6 Travel Time Values (2008 price) Average Occupancy Time Value per vehicle (passengers/vehicle) (VND/hour/vehicle) Vehicle Type Time Value per person Car 13,239 VND/hour 4.0 52,956 Bus 11,202 VND/hour 10.0 112,020 11,202 VND/hour 27.0 302,454 Medium & Heavy Bus Source: JETRO Study, updated to 2008 prices The above-value is the one at the year of 2008. The value at 2011 was obtained by applying the increasing or decreasing rate of CPI (Consumer Price Index) through 2008 to 2009 shown as follows. Table 5-7 Time Series of CPI in Viet Nam Year CPI 2000 100.00 2001 100.93 2002 105.08 2003 108.32 2004 118.92 2005 129.45 2006 138.13 2007 155.57 2008 186.52 2009 198.67 Source: General Statistics Office of Vietnam Footnote: The value in 2000 is set as 100.00 The annual rate of variability from 2008 to 2009 is 1.065. The rate of variability through 2008 to 2011 is 1.21. Then unit TTC in 2011 can be estimated as follows: Table 5-8 Converted Travel Time Values (2011 prices) (VND/hour/vehicle) Type of vehicle Time value per vehicle Car 64,080 Bus 1,355,440 Medium & Heavy Bus 365,970 Source: Study Team 2) Vehicle Operating Cost (VOC) VOC was set on the basis of the existing survey results as follows: 5-7 Table 5-9 Unit VOC (VND in 2008 price) Speed (km/hour) Car Bus Truck 5 5,365 7,148 13,877 10 3,258 4,469 8,495 20 2,133 3,032 5,733 30 1,745 2,382 4,346 40 1,521 2,051 3,695 50 1,430 1,954 3,441 60 1,445 1,987 3,382 70 1,380 1,947 3,167 80 1,557 2,234 3,768 90 1,660 2,435 4,003 Source: JETRO Study, updated to 2008 prices As similar to the TTC, the converted VOC in 2011 price can be obtained in the following table.

The some basic presumptions are being assumed in conducting the economic evaluation as follows. ・ Escalation factor: Price inflation was not taken into account for either construction cost or operation/maintenance cost. ・ Tax and import duty: All kind of taxes such as value added tax and import duty were excluded. ・ Land acquisition cost: Land acquisition cost was excluded. Construction cost and operation/maintenance cost were set up in each stage of the project implementation for each of north section and south section. 5-8 (5) User Benefit Estimate On the basis of unit TTC, unit VOC, and transport demand forecast, of which main outputs are the reduced time and vehicle running kilometers, economic evaluation was conducted from the viewpoint of user benefit. Time savings and vehicle kilometer saving being brought about by the introduction of new toll expressway are converted to an annual value. These values were estimated on the basis of the traffic demand forecast on a daily basis corresponding to 3 cases; Case-1 for 500 VND/km fare rate, Case-2 for 1,000 NVND/km Case-3 for 1,200 VND/km The annual value conversion was conducted in such a way that the daily value was multiplied by the total number of weekdays in a year, which is assumed to be 365 days. The time saving value and the vehicle kilometer saving value were converted to a monetary term through the application of unit TTC and VOC on the year of 2011 basis, which were discussed in the previous part in this chapter. User benefit of both “with toll expressway” and “without toll expressway” were estimated using unit TTC, VOC, vehicle kilometers and hours. Benefit and cost stream of each case are shown in Table 5-11 through 5-16. 5-9 Table 5-11 Benefit and Cost in North Section (Case-1) Table 5-12 Benefit and Cost in North Section (Case-2) Unit:

above section, introduction of toll expressway was evaluated in terms of EIRR, CBR and NPV within the assumed project implementation period of 30 years. Evaluation of the economic viability was done through comparative analysis between EIRR and a social discount rate of 12.0%. Comparing such a discount rate, it can be said that economic viability was secured at an appropriate feasibility level.

Usually financial statements are composed of cash flow statements. The cash flow statement consists of cash-inflow and cash-outflow to estimate the annual surplus or deficit. Financial viability is examined from the financial viewpoints such as financial internal rate of return. (1) Presumptions Adopted Basic presumptions adopted in the financial evaluation are as follows: a) Project Costs Construction costs and operation/maintenance costs were set up as inputs for financial evaluation. Some basic presumptions being assumed in conducting financial evaluation are as follows. Escalation factor: Price inflation was not taken into account for either construction costs or operation/maintenance cost. Tax and import duty: Those taxes were included. Land acquisition cost: Land acquisition cost was not included. b) Revenue Revenue was set up on the basis of the results of traffic demand forecast and fare rate. Escalation factor was not taken into account since the project cost did not include any price inflation. (2) Result of Financial Analysis Toll revenue and cost stream of each case are shown in Table 5-25 through Table 5-30. 5-17 Table 5-25 Toll Revenue and Cost in North Section (Case-1) Table 5-26 Toll

The Government expects infusion of ODA funds, such as WB and JICA, instead of public VGF. The selection of prioritization road section was tabulated in Table 6-1. This selection considered that implementation of the expressway starts North Section followed by South Section. It was assumed that implementation of South Section never proceed prior to the implementation of North Section. Table 6-1 Prioritization of Road Sections Case South Section North Section Evaluation North section is financed by private and VGF. South section is co-financed by WB and STEP. It is difficult to cover whore the north section by private without VGF. Construction of both sections is difficult under this scheme. Construction of South section is nearly impossible. North section is co-financed by private and WB. STEP assists South section only. Implementation of both sections is possible but STEP required huge amount. This scheme is not practical due to STEP required huge amount fund. North section is co-financed by private and STEP. WB assists South section. Implementation of both sections is possible but WB required huge amount same as STEP in Case2. This scheme is not practical due to WB required huge amount fund. 1 Private +VGF WB +STEP 2 Private +WB STEP 3 Private +STEP WB 4 Private +STEP+WB Implementation postponed due to financing problem 5 Private +STEP+WB Private 6 Private +STEP+WB Private +STEP North section is co-financed by private, STEP and WB. South section is difficult to implement due to fund shortage same situation Case2 and 4. North section is co-financed by private, STEP and WB. Private is difficult to cover South section because of huge amount required. North section is co-financed by private, STEP and WB. Private and STEP cover South section. To reduce the burden on private increases the burden on STEP. Inputting of STEP to both sections is difficult because of fund problem. Source: Study Team Cases 1,2,3,5 and 6 are possible to implement both sections. Since private sector has difficulty to implement the project without VGF, Case 1 and 5 are considered as impractical. Also, Case 2, 3 and 6 is not practical because of huge amount of ODA fund. Considering current economic conditions of Vietnam and expressway network, Case 4 may be recommendable for priority road section. 6-1 6.2 Implementation Scheme (1) Study on STEP Form Formation of the expressway project with STEP assistance is possible using construction material procured from Japanese manufacturers (more than 10% equity participation) located in Vietnam. However, STEP loan basically assists a project through best use of advanced technologies and know-how of Japanese firms. Two different STEP forms were considered in this study. One is namely Technology STEP and the other one is namely Material STEP as shown in Table 6-2 below. Table 6-2 STEP Form Source: Study Team STEP Form A in the table is formulated a project with STEP to employ construction material procured from Japanese manufactures in Vietnam without cost escalation from the original cost estimation by TEDI as shown in the table right. Because of Vietnamese material procurement condition, both local reinforcement steel bar and cement are available from Japanese manufacturer in Vietnam. But this form idea does not follow the basic concept of STEP as explained before, because Japanese advanced technology is not included in this form. Form B is applied ITS to STEP portion. ITS amount is very small to the total cost. This form might be faceless assistance. Form C is consisted of Technology STEP. Amount for technology portion of this form does not satisfy STEP procurement ratio condition. Form D is Form C and Material STEP. This form satisfies Technology STEP and STEP procurement ratio condition using material procured from Japanese manufacturer in Vietnam. And this form does not make much increase in cost compared with other Form E and F. Therefore, Vietnam prefers this form D than form E and F. 6-2 Form E is consisted of Technology STEP including long span bridge. If STEP assistance is formulated with advanced technology in case of expressway project in Vietnam requires high cost long span bridge or tunnel and much increase in project cost. Vietnam now carefully considers the adoption of this form due to Vietnamese present economic condition. However, the adoption of PC box girder bridge and steel pile foundation, this is one of Japanese advanced technology, and material procured Japanese manufactures in Vietnam might be possible to formulate an expressway project with STEP assistance while minimizing the project cost. Form F, STEP assistance covers all of the project cost. Above STEP forms were considered in this study with advice from MOT. MOT carefully considered which form to be adopted from them (as of February 2012). (2) Utilization of STEP STEP shall assist which work item in this expressway project evaluated from the view of PPP scheme planned by MOT. Table 6-3 Utilization of STEP for the Project Source: Study Team Blanks of the above table mean those work items might be covered by private sector or other donor not by STEP. Total amount in the table mean the construction cost of the expressway with a length of 121km in the north section. STEP in No1 case assists Tunnel work and ITS work as Japanese advanced technology. Amount of this portion estimated at 12% of the total and the remaining 78% will be covered by another fund source. STEP assistance is not effective enough to support the expressway project. Tunnel and ITS works are difficult to satisfy procurement condition of STEP as explained in the section before. STEP in No.2 includes long span bridge. This STEP is consisted of Japanese advanced technology and will cover at 23% of the total. Assistance of 23% of the total cost is also not effective enough to support the expressway project. And assistance of those work items is difficult to satisfy procurement condition 6-3 of STEP as well. STEP in No.3 assists construction of medium and small scale bridge in the project using material procured from Japanese manufacturer in Vietnam. Construction cost from STEP reach at 43% of the total and the rest is at 57%. If VGF will support 8% from the above 57%, the rest become 49% of the total and make private investor's risk lower. STEP in No.4 increase material portion from that of No.3. Because of this modification, STEP portion assists at 62% of the total and the rest is at 38%. To utilize STEP assistance effectively in the expressway project need to consider not only Japanese advanced technology but also material procured from Japanese manufacturer in Vietnam in order to satisfy STEP procurement condition. (3) Implementation Scheme Implementation schemes with combination of three parties, i.e. private, STEP and WB were examined and assessed with due consideration of MOT strategy. The MOT strategies are discussed blow. - To apply PPP scheme as much as possible. - To provide incentives to private investor like VGF. - But Government cannot provide VGF because of current finance condition. - Government utilizes ODA loan instead of VGF to private investor. - Implementation of the expressway starts from North section. - Shortening of North section to be considered. In this shortening case, first 70 km section between Ninh Binh and Thanh Hoa to be examined first. - In addition this study considered Japanese opinions as shown below. - Japanese advanced technology considered first to formulate STEP - Material procurement to be considered second. - Amount of STEP loan shall not exceed 100 billion JPY Ten cases for North section and four cases for South section were examined taking into account the conditions mentioned above and summarized in Table 6-4 and Table 6-5 respectively. 6-4 Table 6-4 North Section Source: Study Team N-1A and N-1B assist construction of all portion of the expressway with STEP assistance. Those two cases are not practical because of huge amount fund required accordingly evaluated a symbol of “X”. N-2 and N-3 show co-financing scheme by two parties. STEP in N-2A case is Technology STEP to assist tunnel and long span bridge in this section namely Japanese advanced. Other remaining portion is covered with private investor. Private portion is 77% of the total cost. Accordingly, participation of private investor for this project is difficult then evaluated a symbol of “X”. STEP in N-2B assists Technology portion and Material portion related to medium bridges in this section. Distribution of N-2B is 57% of private portion and the remaining 43% from STEP assistance. Both parties share each around 50% of the total cost. Private investor is possible to participate in this project under N-2B with some additional coordination accordingly evaluated a symbol of “O”. STEP in N-2B assists both technology and material. Material STEP assists the medium size bridges in this section using material procured from Japanese manufacturer in Vietnam and satisfy STEP procurement condition. N-3A and N-3B construct the expressway between cities, Ninh Binh and Thanh Hoa having a distance of 70km. This 70km construction idea comes from MOT. Distribution between parties show the same tendency as described by N-2 because N-3 is smaller scale of N-2. Technology STEP in N-3A makes private portion bigger and ineligible for PPP scheme. Technology and Material STEP in N-3B makes private portion smaller and eligible for PPP scheme. STEP in N-2B and N-3B making smaller private 6-5 portion assist effectively Vietnamese preferable scheme namely PPP. Significant problem of N-3A and N-3B may not be complete the whole section of 121km. N-4A and N-5A is consisted of two parties and N-4B and N-5B is consisted of three parties. STEP in N-4A and N-5B assist road construction of the second 51km section from the whole 121km and the whole section is implemented as a result. Both cases can make private portion smaller and good chance for private investor participation. But on the other hand, amount of STEP in N-5A requires around 92 billion JPY. This huge amount is not practical. N-5B is the recommendable case from the cases in the table 6-4 based on the following reason. - Whole 121km section implemented, - Follow MOT’s opinion, - Private portion required below 30% of the total project cost, - Distribution appropriate among three parties, - To satisfy STEP procurement condition. However, amount of STEP requires huge amount fund of 63 billion JPY and needs complicated coordination during implementation of the project. Table 6-5 South Section Source: Study Team To implement all the south section by STEP assistance is not practical way because required fund amount is over 100 billion JPY. To consider co-financing scheme private and STEP needs to make private portion smaller using STEP assistance in order to invite private investor to the project. STEP in S-2B is applicable. But on the other hand, amount of STEP in S-2B requires huge amount fund of 85 billion JPY. No clear reason may not be found to shorten the project section from the whole of 97km. Therefore, 6-6 study on shortening of the project section has been omitted under this study. 6.3 Implementation Schedule Implementation schedule of the project is depending on the funding scheme of the donors. Especially, in consideration of the importance, necessity, scale of the project, funding scheme should be decided at an early date. Vietnamese, Japanese Government, the other donor and investor should cooperate with each other because PPP study that is conducting by WB is key project and large relativeness with the project. Based on the above condition of the project implementation, the study team suggests the implementation schedule of the project as follows; EIA and preparation study by JICA will complete in 2012 After agreement between Vietnam and japan for the project implementation, proceed to selection of a consultant. Detail design will be started in 2014 and select a contractor. Construction will start in middle of 2015 Construction will complete in 2019 Cost estimation can be calculated by preparation study by JICA except basic design, because TEDI’s FS is high accuracy.

Currently MOT is working for the implementation of the project. This section is selected as a potential pilot PPP project, but the project proponent for this section is not fixed yet. 7.1.2 Functions and Duties The functions and duties of central government and Provincial People’s Committees are shown in Figure 7-1. The MOT is responsible for planning and implementation of the highway development. PMU under the MOT is responsible for the actual implementation of surveys and supervision for each project. The People’s Committee of the province is expected to be responsible for land acquisition and resettlement of local people. Figure 7-1 Administrative Organizations Source: Study Team 7.1.3 Finance The annual expenditure of the MOT is shown in Table 7-1. The development investment expenditure has dropped to almost one half of preceding years.

Oh the other hand, PPCs has little experienced projects involving large scale land acquisition and resettlement. Delay in the process of land acquisition and resettlement should affect the project viability seriously. Therefore, support such as transfer of knowledge and skills to the provincial committees through technical assistance will be required. These agencies have little implemented projects under PPP scheme. MOT is currently working with the introduction of PPP pilot project. So, it is important to provide support MOT to develop their capacity in PPP project. 7-8 Chapter 8 TECHINICAL ADVANTAGES OF JAPANESE COMPANIES 8.1 Competitiveness in International Market of Japanese Contractor 8.1.1 Basic Condition of Accepting Order in Vietnam Japanese contractor can take a part in competitive bidding for international bidding projects for Japanese yen loan. Chinese and Korean contractor gain an advantage over Japanese contractor for bid price. 1) Applicable Condition of International Bidding International contractor can be competed in following project condition. a) There are no contractor, which has not special technic for the projects. (Decree No.88,10 ,1a) b) Funding from foreign government and mandatory project for international bidding. (Decree No. 88, 10. 1b) 2) Preferential Treatment Vietnamese contractors are preserved in international bidding as following conditions. a) Foreign contractors must joint with Vietnamese contractors. (Decree No.88, 10, 2/No.14/ No.66). b) Foreign contractor must purchase construction material, which produced in Vietnam. (Decree No. 88, 10, 4) c) In case of bidding document is equal to Vietnamese and Foreign Contractor, Vietnamese contractor has priority for selection. (Decree No. 88, 10, 6) d) 7.5% of total amount should be added to foreign contractor’s proposed cost. (Decree No.66) e) Capital investment ration of overseas subsidiary company is more than 50%. (Decree No. 66) 8.1.2 Business Advance of Japanese Contractor to Vietnam According to Ministry of Construction, among more than 350 foreign companies that were awarded contracts, Japanese companies account 70 (Shimiz Corporation that started operation in 1992 is a first Japanese company). Japanese companies receive high recognition from Vietnamese government because of the high quality and strict observance of the construction schedule. Almost Vietnamese contractors are government-owned enterprise. Number of major Vietnamese contractors is 15 and 300 companies included affiliate company. Low of construction in Vietnam is complicate because revised frequent repeatedly. Japanese contractor must confirm with up dated construction low in Vietnam. After bidding, cost negotiation is over 1 year in some projects, because not only bidding system but also operation by Vietnamese government side. Especially, cost and time is over because office 8-1 procedure is complicated by independent organization step in to the quality and account inspection. “The Second Seminar of Project Supervision for The Construction in Vietnam” has held in October 18, 2011 in Ho Chi Minh City that hosted by Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Japan. In the seminar, both governments discuss and information exchange about project management that is contact, supervision and inspection of the construction project, and Vietnamese government understood about Japanese technology for infrastructure development. 8.1.3 Japanese Tunnel Technology In this project, there are 2 tunnels in north side (Tam Diep Tunnel: L=240+255m and Thung Thi Tunnel: L=680 m×2 Lines) and 3 tunnels in south side (Truong Lam Tunnel:L=550m×2 Lines, Than Vu No.1 Tunnel:L=875m×2 Lines and Than Vu No.2 Tunnel:L=1,675m×2Lines), totally 8,055 m long of 5 tunnels. They are 3-laned tunnel where length of each tunnel is not too long. However, it is large-scaled cross sectional tunnel similar to 3-laned tunnel of 2nd Tomeishin Expressway tunnel. Soil condition in Vietnam is complicated same as in Japan. For the aforementioned tunnels, limestone, sandstone and weathered sandstone are expected to be found and some portions are possible to be vicinity to active fault. Safe and reliable technology for construction of large-scaled cross section tunnel is required. As a long tunnel in Vietnam, Hai Van Tunnel (total 6,250m length) is opened for service by Japanese ODA. It is 2-laned tunnel. Up to now, there is no project of 3-laned expressway tunnel. Japanese mountainous tunneling technology is developed by applying the most updated European technology with improvement based on Japanese high standard technology. For examples, not only tunnel face fore-search technology and AGF (long steel pipe fore poling), which are represented by the 3-dimensional tomography, but there are also method of blasting control for low noise low vibration and high-standard long range (more than 6 m) blasting method. Furthermore, as the measurement of environment preservation, the tunnel wastewater disposal facility and soundproof gate also reach the high-standard. It is evident that construction of large-scaled cross sectional tunnel such as 3-laned tunnel of 2nd Tomeishin Expressway tunnel was successful based on application of the aforementioned technologies. Consequently, it can be said that the technologies by Japanese companies are sufficient for project execution. In terms of the international competitiveness, the possibility of acceptance an order is 8-2 high. The 3-laned tunnel is a large-scaled cross sectional tunnel. In order to construct with safety and reliability, numerous experiences on design and construction are required. The experienced Japanese companies have to make use of their valuable experiences at prequalification stage. Therefore, the construction experience on 3-laned tunnel should be required as the prequalification conditions. At tunnel area, there is man-made lake for irrigation and water storage. Water quality control becomes the most important matter. Because of this, Japanese companies which experience on wastewater disposal under Japanese strict condition of environment preservation measurement, is most suitable for this. The experienced Japanese companies have to make use of their precious experiences at prequalification stage. Hence, the construction experience on tunnel wastewater disposal should be required as the prequalification conditions. 8.1.4 Japanese Bridge Construction Technology In recent years, Japanese bridge construction technology is top-class in the world after complete Honshu-Shikoku Link Bridge in 1999. 6 long span cable suspension bridges and 2 long span cable styed bridges are listed for 20 bridges in the world. All the advanced bridge technologies are included in Honshu-Shikoku Link Bridge. 2 major bridge that Akashi Channel Bridge and Tatara Bridge is selected for one of the 125 project by technical information magazine in USA. NEXCO Central Corporation accepted an order maintenance assistant project from Vietnamese government in 2010. NEXCO Central has a good skill and technology for bridge maintenance and can transfer the technology to Vietnamese engineer. In Vietnam, construction of long span bridge is accelerating for example Can Tho Bridge (cable stayed bridge) has completed in April, 2011 by assisted Japanese ODA. Japanese bridge construction technologies that include bridge maintenance can contribute to Vietnamese bridge engineering and have strong competitive power in the Vietnamese market. In this project, along span steel bridge for Lam River Bridge is proposed. Bridge type of Lam River Bridge is arch bridge Advanced Japanese technology of bridge is shown as follows. 【Lam River Bridge (Steel Arch Bridge)】 8-3 Structure of steel arch bridge is simple, and economical construction can be realized by steel beam will be transported from Japan and fabrication by Vietnamese contractor. Japanese contractors have a lot of experience of the bridge type. Various construction methods can be selected on the consideration of safety, economically. Total weight (dead load) is comparably lighter than concrete bridge, hence, temporary work and support work can be simple and this entails shorten of construction period and augment construction safety. 8.2 Construction Material and Equipment Procured from Japan Major material of road construction that is cement and reinforcing bar can be procured in Vietnam. Some equipment that use for cement concrete pavement, long span bridge and tunnel construction will be procured from Japan as shown in followings. 8.2.1 Cement Concrete Pavement Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement (CRCP) will be adopted for pavement construction, and Slip Formed method will be used. To compact solid foundation and pave flat surface, Slip Formed Paver will be used for efficient pavement construction. Slip Formed Paver will be procured form Japan. 8.2.2 Tunnel Construction Table 8-1 Mountainous Tunnel (5 Locations) (Unit: Million JPY) Cement 814 Steel (Reinforcement, H-beam) 1,493 AGF Steel Pipe, Grouting Material 75 Waterproof Sheet 265 Tunnel Wastewater Disposal Facilities 361 Soundproof Gate 12 Tunneling Machine 6,928 Tunnel Facilities 13,676 Total 23,624 Source: Study Team 8.2.3 Bridge Construction A lot of bridge types exist in Vietnam, and almost equipment for bridge construction can be 8-4 procured in Vietnam. The equipment from Japan will be decided after detailed study for the project. 8.3 Measures for Acceleration of Japanese Contractor’s Order Utilization of STEP is required condition to ensure for Japanese contractor’s order. Past projects in Vietnam, steel bridge is utilized for STEP project. However, MOT is negative to utilize the steel bridge because of high initial investment. At the present, approximately 1,600 Japanese companies make an advance into Vietnam and Japanese contractor can procure the concrete structure material that is cement and reinforcing bar from Japanese companies. Major Japanese material company in Vietnam is shown as follows. 【Nghi Son Cement Corporation】 Nghi Son Cement Corporation is joint company of Taiheiyho Cement, Mitubishi Material and Vietnam Cement State Company.

The time schedule: Submission of Interim report: Mid October, 2011 Draft Final Report: December 2011 1-1 Appendix 1. Minutes of Discussion Final report: February 2012 Scale of drawing plans: Drawings are not required as outputs, therefore, the drawing plans requires only to be incorporated into the report. Study of road alignment is to use satellite image which assure the required degree of accuracy (JICA-Hanoi). Number of bridge: Three bridges, one of which go over a lake. A possibility to divert the route is examined (JICA Hanoi). Potential to develop separate projects for the area with high cost Targeting sections such as bridge and tunnel as STEP loan project separately is considered. However, consideration to the effectiveness of Japanese cooperation is required in case of adjacent sections are developed by other donors. PPP can be applied for the maintenance and management, and collection of tolls after implementation by the yen loan (JICA-Hanoi). JICA-Hanoi view on the tunnel constructed domestically in Vietnam Japan has the leading advanced technology on a tunnel with 3 lanes on one side. There is a potential to develop as a STEP loan project. In addition, possibility of applying Japanese technology on such as pavement, and soft ground can be also explored. JICA-Hanoi view on expressway Development of the Expressway will contribute to the ease of current traffic congestion of Route1, as well as dividing functions into existing Route 1 as a community road and the Expressway as long distance logistics road. In addition, it acts as an alternative road in case of Route one cut off by the emergency such as flood. Furthermore, the diversion of existing vehicles to the expressway road will assure the traffic safety on Route 1. 4.

The basis of Road alignment will adopt suggestions of TEDI. Request of information on North side construction work, which WB also has been interested: the importance of this corridor, is recognized and currently WB examines a potential of PPP to the North section where traffic demand is expected. Potential to apply PPP: PPP can be applied to the area except bridge and tunnel in order to minimize the cost to facilitate private investment. Depends on the feasibility of PPP, section might be shortened (WB). Intention of WB on applying PPP: Feasibility of PPP will be finalized within next 6 months. Although funding source is not yet finalized, currently a possibility of public investment to rise up to 51% is examined, while Law on PPP in Vietnam stipulates that investment ratio to 30% by Public and 70% by Private (WB). Feasibility of PPP: if large scale constructions such as a long spanned bridge or a tunnel can receive funding assistance from other donors, the potential is high. In that case, implementation schedule will be the crucial to coordinate construction work of a large scale structure by STEP loan and road by PPP (WB). 1-6 Appendix 1. Minutes of Discussion South section: feasibility of applying PPP is low, however, Japanese loan, specifically STEP loan can be effectively applied (WB). TEDI proposed road alignment: the proposal has taken account various factors. It is important to confirm the cost after the finalization of road alignment and location of structures. There are concerns on the impact on social environment such as resettlement (WB). Information on interest of China and South Korea: WB does not have any information and believes that the project will be carried out with cooperation of WB, ADB and JICA (WB). Next meeting: Possibility of holding another meeting after the site survey which can confirm the detail location of structures (JICA). Exchange of opinion shall be continued (WB).

Questions and opinion of Secretary Significance of developing North section by WB: based on the study of entire section, WB has decided to invest on North section which traffic demand is expected by the development of a refinery by the Joint Company of Idemitsu and Petro Vietnam in Nghi son. WB plans to apply PPP in order to lower their financial expense; however PPP requires a lower construction expense. Therefore WB expects to apply PPP on road only and the rest of structures with higher expense with Japanese assistance. Recognition of WB motive by JICA Tokyo: WB intention has been informed by JICA Tokyo prior to this visit. WB suggests lowering the PPP investment ratio stipulated in 1-7 Appendix 1. Minutes of Discussion lawn to private investment of 50%. WB recognizes the importance of lowering construction cost in order to attract private investors. Possibility of applying Yen Loan for one section while north section applies PPP: there is a possibility to apply STEP loan to each structure such as a long spanned bridge, and a tunnel. Feasibility is considered high through consultations although a good coordination is essential on implementation schedule. Application of STEP loan to South section: it is feasible. Japanese assistance will priorities sections where STEP loan can be applied such as between Ben Luc- Long Thanh.

Minutes of Discussion 1-14 Appendix 1. Minutes of Discussion Official comment by MOT in English. 1-15 Appendix 1. Minutes of Discussion Memorandum by Study team Vice Minister’s comments: 1. Tunnels The tunnels have been studied thoroughly and the locations of the tunnels have been decided for 3 times. And it is among of our most concerns. So we would like METI to study these tunnel further details. 2. Bridges We have 5 alternatives for the 2 bridges, and we find that the selected alternatives are optimum. For Yen My Bridge, we understand that Cable Stayed Bridge can reduce the number of piers but we cannot adopt it because of its high construction cost. Yen My Bridge is located in the forest and the traffic volume of this bridge is not so much, so it is not necessary to have a beautiful bridge there. For the piers in deep water of 20-25m, we find it is normal condition because we constructed 31m high pier 11 years ago and last year we constructed a 98.7 m high pier in Da river whose velocity is great and the natural condition is very hard. So could you give us such a more reasonable argument other than the reason of piers in deep water. Song Lam Bridge: we selected different location for this bridge but it affected a historic monument which is thousand years old. I myself prefer Cable Stayed Bridge for this location in terms social and historical aspect. The north side of the bridge is homeland of President Ho Chi Minh and the south side is homeland of our first 1-16 Appendix 1. Minutes of Discussion General Secretary of Communist Party – Mr. Tran Phu. Finally we proposed Steel Arch Bridge because it also has nice shape and the cost is not so high. You should consider not only the technical aspects but also the social and politician reasons for this project. These two bridges are located in the 2 provinces among the poorest provinces of Vietnam, so the difference 20-30% in the total cost will be compared with how many tons of rice, how many tons of sweet potatoes by local people via the press and media. This case is totally different from Can Tho bridge because Can Tho is one of the rich provinces which have 21 tons of rice for export per year. To fully understand the region conditions, we will assign our leading experts whose homeland is also in this region to help you in studying this project. 3. STEP loan we fully agree with STEP loan, however total cost in STEP loan project is often higher than projects with international bidding. I myself have successfully argued for STEP loan for previous projects, but there are many bodies will be involved, so you should give us strong reasons to convince them. E.g. new technology of tunnel construction or new cable stayed bridge technology other than those of Can Tho Bridge, Binh Bridge, and Nhat Tan bridge and so on. 4.

Presentation to Mr. Duc (Vice Minister of MOT) Request of Vietnamese side for avoidance of cost increase from the existing TEDI study Understanding and well received on STEP loan Study on the application of STEP loan to North section Low potential of land mines in the expressway development site 1-17 Appendix 1. Minutes of Discussion Date 2011/10/11 Interviewee Mr. Watanabe (JICA Hanoi), Mr. Binh (JICA Hanoi) Time 11:30 Study team Mr. Matsukawa(KEI), Mr. Kono (KEI), Mr. Tanaka (LT) The following points have been discussed during interview. Presentation to Mr. Duc (Vice Minister of MOT) Request of Vietnamese side for avoidance of cost increase from the existing TEDI study Understanding and well received on STEP loan Due to a large sum of the project cost, it is unlikely to able to allocate in once. Date 2011/10/13 Interviewee Mr. Furudoi ( First Secretory of EOJ) Time 9:00 Study team Mr. Matsukawa(KEI), Mr. Kono (KEI), Mr. Tanaka (LT), Mr. Muta (KJ) The following points have been discussed during interview. Presentation to Deputy Minister of MOT Request of Vietnamese side to avoid any further cost increase from the existing TEDI study Existing TEDI study: it seems that TEDI study is too well affirmed. To grasp the real cost is essential. STEP loan perceived as being expensive but Vietnamese cost might be too low. Insufficiency of existing TEDI design should be pointed out. Improvement of expense share will encourage private companies to entre to the project. A cooperation fund is one way. STEP loan applying to sections is also a part of co-financing. Date 2011/10/13 Interviewee Mr. Paul Vallely (Transport Sector Coordinator of WB) Time 11:00 Study team Mr. Kono (KEI), Mr. Tanaka (LT) The following points have been discussed during interview. Presentation to Deputy Minister of MOT Although STEP loan is well understood and received, it is requested by Vietnamese side to avoid cost increase from the existing TEDI study. The study of PPP is initially scheduled for 12 months in TOR, however, it is planned to shorten to 6 months. The study is expected to produce high quality data which will be utilized by private investors. Unreliable data will increase the risk of investors and lose their trust, which will lead to failure to attract private investors. Exchange of opinion with WB consultant is requested at the time of next visit, when selection of consultant will be finalized. 1-18 Appendix 1. Minutes of Discussion Date 2011/11/14 Interviewee Mr. Nguyen Minh Thang (Vice General Director of TEDI), Mr. Vu Huu Hoang (Division of Planning) Time 14:00 Study team Mr. Kono (KEI) The following points have been discussed during interview. Presentation of proposal with a recommended option and an option require further investigation: Both North and south section presented option E (concrete pavement) as preferred METI option for its low cost. Concrete pavement successfully saves the cost low. Comments by TEDI: TEDI has accepted that the cost of concrete pavement is competitive to Asphalt. However, it is difficult to accept as preferred option due to lack of construction technical assurance by a lack of experience. Comments by METI: METI report will include both options considering reviewing at the detail design stage. The option of concrete pavement is not totally denied at this stage, because Vietnam has an experience of recommending the use of concrete paving to this proposed section previously. Vietnamese side has accepted that the use of concrete pavement is no accepted nor denied at this point. Date 2011/11/17 Interviewee Mr. Hien (Deputy General Director of PMU1), Mr. Trung (PMU1), Mr. Hung( Deputy General Director of PMU6) Time 8:00 Study team Mr. Kono (KEI) &14:00 Both PMU has pointed out the increase of cost, especially expensive cost of tunnel. The reason for high cost has been accepted at the report noted technically with simple and clear description. The comment of expensiveness is derived from comparing to existing TEDI report and does not have any other basis. PMU1 has requested to hold a meeting with the team leader, Mr. Huy (specialized in technology) on the issue of concrete pavement, due to the previous failure of using concrete pavement. Date 2011/11/18 Interviewee Ms. Kato (Deputy Resident Representative of JETRO Hanoi) Time 9:00 Study team Mr. Kono (KEI) The following points have been discussed during interview. Mid-term meeting and progress of the study Japanese companies along the expressway Japanese company information: Idemitsu will proceed to establish the joint company with Petro Vietnam. Japanese companies along the expressway are TAIHEIYO cement 1-19 Appendix 1. Minutes of Discussion corporation (Nghi Son cement), Idemitsu (Petro Vietnam) and Kobelco (joint company is unknown). Marubeni also takes a part in development of a power station nearby Nghi Son, however it is not considered as target because the project will be completed by the time of opening expressway. Date 2011/11/18 Interviewee Mr. Paul Vallely (Transport Sector Coordinator of WB) Time 14:30 Study team Mr. Kono (KEI) The following points have been discussed during interview. PPP consultant: the consultant who supposes to start the study from November is not arrived to Vietnam. The study will start from the beginning of December due to final detail agreement as well as minor changes on TOR. PPP study: to be conducted in two phases and expected to complete by the end of next December. This means the schedule has been extended to 8 months from initial program. The direction will be presented in the Interim report which will be submitted by the middle of 2012 around June. Study duration is extended in order to provide high quality information to private investors. WB recognizes that North section is appropriate for PPP and South section for ODA. WB understands that to apply various funding sources such as WB, PPP and STEP on the same expressway will cause difficulty on corporation. Date 2011/11/18 Interviewee Mr. Watanabe (JICA Hanoi), Mr. Binh (JICA Hanoi) Time 16:30 Study team Mr. Kono (KEI) The following points have been discussed during interview. Explanation of the recommended proposal Study team request on clarification of criteria for Japanese technology required for STEP loan. Possibility of applying STEP loan for project with procurement of Japanese machinery and goods. JICA comments: the aim of STEP loan is to utilize Japanese advanced technology. Without clear advantage of Japanese technology, reason to use STEP loan for the project in Vietnam will not be explained. To use STEP loan for only procurement of Japanese machinery and goods will not able to ensure fairness of market (impact on domestic companies in Vietnam). However, it is accepted that the project meets the STEP loan 30% requirements of procurement from Japanese technology and goods by procurement of machinery and goods only.(JICA) 1-20 Appendix 1. Minutes of Discussion Study team response: the project also apply Japanese advanced technology on a tunnel and steel Arch, however the extent of technology required for STEP loan is not clear. In addition, the country where Japanese companies are active such as Vietnam, consideration is required to the other aspect of STEP loan which is to support Japanese company in Vietnam. JICA agreed. Date 2011/11/22 Interviewee Ms. Nguyen Thanh Hang (Deputy Director General of DPI), Mr. Hung(DPI), Mr. Huy (DPI) Time 8:00 Study team Mr. Kono (KEI), Mr. Yoshizaki (NEC) The following points have been discussed during interview. Explanation of STEP loan which can be applied to both sections through procurement of Nghi son cement and Vinakyoei. Explanation of recommended proposal which requires Japanese advanced technology for Tunnel (which also the main factor to raise cost) and procurement of Japanese goods for concrete pavement. MOT requested to avoid any increase of cost over 35trillion VND which requires approval of the State. Tunnel which currently raises the cost need to be reviewed. Need of concrete pavement for STEP loan is understood and requested to meet Mr. Huy of DPI to discuss technical issue. MOT comments: the entire section is to be formulated as project. North section will be developed as PPP project but the governments of Vietnam cannot offer VGF. Therefore, alternative funding sources of low interest ODA by WB or JICA is requested, specifically applying STEP loan for expensive structures. The expressway will be constructed through cooperation of three funds PPP, WB loan, and JICA. For example, first 70 km can be constructed by PPP and following section can be developed by the co-financing of WB and JICA. For example, in 1993, National Route 1 was established through the cooperation funds which JICA funded for Bridge, ADB and WB funded for roads. Project implementation not by section is requested. WB will finalize the detail section where PPP is feasible, by the middle of next year. Vietnam will not wait until the end of December next year. Date 2011/11/25 Interviewee Mr. Paul Vallely (Transport Sector Coordinator of WB) Time 14:00 Study team Mr. Kono (KEI) The following points have been discussed during interview. Alternative proposal Report to be includes the alternative proposal (METI). 1-21 Appendix 1. Minutes of Discussion Next visit is scheduled in January 2012 for the explanation of Draft Final Report (METI). Agreement to hold a meeting at the next visit for information exchange and holding workshops. Result of PPP application section will be delivered in June 2012, Date 2011/11/28 Interviewee Mr. Furudoi ( First Secretary of EOJ) Time 14:00 Study team Mr. Kono (KEI) EOJ requested to pay extra attention for the explanation of tunnel and commented as follows. Explanation is to include that the reason for high cost is not because of Japan and it is the result of appropriate design consideration. The best STEP loan is to deliver a good output with Japanese technology with low cost. In case of this project, it is accepted that the proposal meets the requirements of STEP loan. However meeting the requirement with only by the procurement of machinery and goods can be perceived that the project is formed to meet on purpose. In addition, this might be a reason for the high cost. METI: through the market survey, the procurement of machinery and goods are also competitive in Vietnamese market due to no price difference between Japan and Vietnam. Therefore the increase of price by the procurement of Japan will not happen. It can rather minimize the cost by procuring Japanese material through Vietnamese market. This approach has been well received by Vietnamese side. STEP loan will also assist Japanese companies in Vietnam at the same time support Vietnam through Vietnamese employee works in Japanese companies in Vietnam.” EOJ: acknowledged the approach and STEP loans to be utilized to contribute to the development of Vietnam. METI: MOT is considering the entire section of expressway through PPP, WB and STEP loan due to its large sum of cost. Currently WB is conducting a feasibility study of PPP covering the entire section which the result will be delivered in June 2012. EOJ: it is sure that Japanese government to support PPP. If private companies are domestic Vietnamese company, it would more likely to support but if it is foreign companies it would be difficult for Japanese government. It might be more feasible to apply STEP loan to a shortened section of a large structure. Time schedule from here on has been explained 1-22 Appendix 1. Minutes of Discussion Date 2011/11/29 Interviewee Ms. Nguyen Thanh Hang (Deputy Director General of DPI), Mr. Hung(DPI), Mr. Huy (DPI) Time 8:30 Study team Mr. Kono (KEI), Mr. Yoshizaki ( NEC) Discussion on funding source MOT: cannot afford any VGF required for PPP, even it is 30 %. MOT would like to form a project for 121km or shorter of NORT section with combination of funds from Private, WB (IDA =VGF, IBRD=Investor) and STEP (as alternative to VGF). METI: cooperation of PPP and STEP on same section would be difficult. MOT: North section to be divided into 2 projects. For example one for private fund project developing road and the other for STEP project developing expensive structures. STEP loan: it is considers as a part of VGF to facilitate participation of private investors. Vietnam thinks that BOT PPP ODA. Therefore North section is taking a route of PPP PPP+ODA. The one of reason PPP has been reviewed and rejected is due to lack of VGF. Ms. Hang explained that 50% (STEP) +15 % (VGF or low interest WB loan) make 65% and the rest of 35% is funded by private. MOT considers initial 70km is to be covered by PPP+WB(VGF, and the rest of section to be covered by STEP loan. Date 2011/11/29 Interviewee Mr.Nguyen Danh Huy ( Deputy General Director of DPI) Time 9:00 Study team Mr. Kono (KEI), Mr. Yoshizaki ( NEC) Mainly concrete pavement has been discussed during interview. METI: proposal employing concrete pavement to allow low price STEP loan. MOT: already acknowledged about this issue. METI: expressed their concern on the Vietnamese negative attitude on employing concrete pavement despite its advantages. MOT: accepted the advantage of concrete pavement, especially considering its longevity and maintenance and management. However it has also many problems. MOT has experience failure applying concrete pavement on Route1 although the reason of failure is not yet found. Foreign consultant and contractor has implemented and managed but still cause damages. METI: intention to include concrete pavement as one of possible Japanese technology to be employed within a report considering a detail design stage of 2 to 3 year ahead. 1-23 Appendix 1. Minutes of Discussion Date 2011/11/30 Interviewee Mr. Nagase (Deputy Resident Representative of JICA Hanoi), Mr. Watanabe (JICA Hanoi), Mr. Binh (JICA Hanoi) Time 18:00 Study team Mr. Kono (KEI) Mainly concrete pavement has been discussed during interview. Project background and recommended proposal JICA has understood that the main objectives and potential of applying STEP loan. Feasibility of applying STEP loan to the proposed project has to be confirmed with METI. Project applied STEP loan in this method will be welcomed by Japan as well as Vietnam. Date 2012/1/9 Interviewee Mr. Nguyen Minh Thang (Vice General Director of TEDI), Mr. Vu Huu Hoang (Division of Planning) Time 13:30 Study team Mr. Kono (KEI) The following points have been discussed during interview. Japanese view on STEP loan: STEP loan is primarily technical transfer and difficult to apply STEP loan for procurement of machinery and goods only, and got understanding of TEDI. Application of Japanese technology: Japanese technology is to be applied on a tunnel and ITS, however, it is considered in sufficient for the application. Therefore the inclusion of steel bridge is required; however it will increase the cost. The main aim of this visit: to get Vietnamese understanding and response on appropriate STEP loan component. TEDI has understood. Formation of project on both North and South section using STEP loan PPP requirement of participation of private companies: It can be achieved through applying STEP loan with technology as well as procurement of machinery and goods which can extend to middle to small scale bridge. However the condition is to have co-financing with such as WB to lower the expense which is feasible for the Japanese government. Understood by TEDI. Date 2012/1/11 Interviewee Ms. Nguyen Thanh Hang (Deputy Director General of DPI), Mr. Hung(DPI), Mr. Huy (DPI) Time 9:00 Study team Mr. Matsukawa (KEI), Mr. Kono (KEI), Mr. Yoshizaki ( NEC) The following points have been discussed during interview. Japanese view on STEP loan: STEP loan is primarily technical transfer and difficult to apply STEP loan for procurement of machinery and goods only, and received understanding of 1-24 Appendix 1. Minutes of Discussion MOT. Application of Japanese technology: Japanese technology is to be applied on a tunnel and ITS, however, it is considered in sufficient for the application. Therefore the inclusion of steel bridge is required; however it will increase the cost. The main aim of this visit: to get Vietnamese understanding and response on appropriate STEP loan component, this will accompany the increase of cost. Explanation recommended proposal: Application of STEP loan to North and South section. Application of the project to STEP loan with Japanese technology does not have sufficient amount cost (less than 30%) required for receiving STEP loan. Therefore through additional assistance of general structure through the procurements of machinery and goods, which enable to rise to 60% of direct Japanese assistance among the entire project cost, STEP loan can apply to the project. Co-financing: accompanying with co-financing with such as WB will enable to lower the expense which is feasible for the Japanese government. With this approach, participation of private companies by PPP is more likely to be achieved. To have co-financing is crucial for this. MOT comments: understands the situation. A large sum of cost can realistically delivered by three cooperative bodies rather than two. WB study: wait for the delivery of study result. Study team has got approval from MOT to use the same today’s presentation material to explain Japanese intention to WB meeting scheduled next week. MOT will inform about today’s meeting to Vice Minister after Teto.

A large sum of cost can realistically delivered by three cooperative bodies rather than two. Response of WB: WB has understood the result of Japanese side study, however WB will wait for the result of their own study currently conducted. WB is very enthusiastic to identify the potential of PPP. Difficulty of applying STEP loan without participation of Japanese companies: The fact that Japanese companies is participating and supporting the project is essential for the project. To promote a broader participation of private companies, further serious consideration of Vietnamese side such as granting development rights along the proposed expressway, is required. The study result: There is a potential to formulate a project applying STEP loan. 1-28 Appendix 2-1 Summary of Tunnel Source: Study Team Appendix 2-2 (1) Comparison of cross sectional shape between NIHN BIHN - BAI VOT highway tunnel with Japanese tunnels Cross sectional shape of NIHN BIHN - BAI VOT highway tunnel is compared with Japanese typical tunnels in table 1. Table.1 Oblateness comparison of NIHN BIHN-BAI VOT highway tunnel with Japanese typical tunnels Vietnam Japan THAN VU 1&2 tunnel 2-lane road tunnel 3-lane road tunnel High speed train tunnel 17.3m 10∼11m 15∼16m 9.5m Cross sectional area 155 ㎡ 75 ㎡ 149 ㎡ 70 ㎡ Tunnel oblateness※ 0.64 0.74 0.66 0.89 Inner width Inner-sectional shape ※Tunnel Oblateness:Tunnel height/tunnel width Oblateness of NIHN BIHN - BAI VOT highway tunnel is lower than typical Japanese tunnels. NIHN BIHN – BAI VOT highway tunnel is thought to be difficult to secure tunnel stability due to low oblateness. Standard oblateness of Japanese tunnels Standard oblateness is shown in highway design standard prescribed by Nippon Expressway Company Limited as follows. Cross sectional shape of tunnel should be correspond to stress flow and deformation reasonably and horse shoe shape composed of 3 or 5 arcs is usually adopted in accordance with ground condition and road width. Cross sectional shape of tunnel affects stability, constraint of construction and economy. Basic oblateness, tunnel height divided by tunnel width, should be 0.65 to 0.75, which is experienced from past design and construction. “Highway design standard, tunnel”, Nippon Expressway Company Limite Oblateness of NIHN BIHN – BAI VOT highway tunnel is lower than basic oblateness prescribed by this design standard. Higher oblateness is needed to obtain tunnel stability. Appendix 2-2 (2) Study on better cross-sectional shape Oblateness of NIHN BIHN - BAI VOT highway tunnel is under the standard prescribed by Nippon Expressway Company Limited and the tunnel is considered to be unsecure. Study on better cross-sectional shape is conducted in reference to the shape of actual 3-lane road tunnel in japan. Table-2 Comparison between NIHN BIHN – BAI VOT highway tunnel and proposed cross section NIHN BIHN - BAI VOT highway tunnel Proposed cross section 0.64 0.66 Cross section Tunnel oblateness Radius of tunnel invert Cross-sectional area R3=1.5m R4=33.3m 155m2 R3=2.3m R4=20.9m 151m2 Proposed cross section was designed in reference to actual 3-lane road tunnel in Japan Appendix 2-2 (3) Study on the distance between up and down tunnels Distance from center to center between up and down tunnels should keep twice the length of tunnel width to prevent interaction during excavation, whose criteria is prescribed in Japanese highway design standard. NIHN BIHN - BAI VOT tunnels should keep appropriate distance for the prevention of each tunnel’s influence. Table-3 Comparison of tunnel distance Arrangement of NIHN BIHN – BAI VOT highway tunnel Tunnel distance 28m(1.6D) Proposed arrangement Tunnel distance 33m(2.0D) 2-2-2 Distance of each tunnel Basically appropriate distance should be kept for the prevention of detrimental influence during the excavation of more than 2 parallel tunnels or single tunnel which is close to other structures. “Highway design standard, tunnel”, Nippon Expressway Company Limite It is difficult to standardize the distance of each tunnel because influence of tunnel excavation on another existing tunnel depends on ground condition and construction methods. According to researches up to this day, detrimental effects on each tunnel can be avoided when center to center distance is kept twice the length of the tunnel width in typical ground condition. Appendix 2-2 (4) Study on cross-sectional shape in good rock condition Tunnel invert can be omitted in good rock condition. Japanese standard describe the treatment of tunnel invert as follows. In this study, based on the description of highway design standard, tunnel invert can be omitted in rock classification “B” on the assumption that geological features deteriorate in the long term. Table -4 shows the cross section in rock classification “B” in reference to actual 3-lane road tunnel in Japan. Table-4 Proposed cross section in rock classification “B” (e)Treatment of tunnel invert Tunnel invert should be installed when geological features deteriorate due to ground water in the long Proposed cross-section term even if tunnel deformation is small during construction or when tunnel deformation is large during construction and tunnel should be considered to obtain long term stability. Through it is obvious to install tunnel invert for stabilization in the latter case, enough study is needed weather tunnel invert should be installed or not in the former case. In the former case, installation of tunnel invert can be determined based on the following standards. 1) Tunnel invert should be installed in rock classification “DⅠ”, “DⅡ” and “E”. 2) Tunnel invert should be installed basically in the geology which is expected to deteriorate, i.e. mud stone, tuff, serpentine, weathered crystalline rock and solfatoric clay. “Highway design standard, tunnel”, Nippon Expressway Company Limite Cross section Cross-sectional area 130m2 Appendix 2-2 (5) Quantity of proposed cross section Table-5 Quantity of proposed cross section Without tunnel invert With tunnel invert Upper half(㎡) 77.98 77.98 Lower half(㎡) 52.36 48.80 Cross section Cross-sectional area 23.80 Invert(㎡) Total(㎡) 130.34 150.58 Upper half(m) 21.61 21.61 Length of arch Lower half(m) 7.36 7.02 (Excavation) Invert(m) 16.47 Total(m) 28.97 45.10 Upper half(m) 19.40 19.40 Length of arch Lower half(m) 7.43 7.26 (Lining) Invert(m) Total(m) 14.04 26.83 40.70 Appendix 2-3 (1) Schedule of Tunnel Tam Diep-Tunnel Source: Study Team Appendix 2-3 (2) Schedule of Tunnel Thung Thi-Tunnel Source: Study Team Appendix 2-3 (3) Schedule of Tunnel Truong Lam-Tunnel Source: Study Team Appendix 2-3 (4) Schedule of Tunnel Than Vu1-Tunnel Source: Study Team Appendix 2-3 (5) Schedule of Tunnel Than Vu2-Tunnel Source: Study Team Appendix 3 Relevant Laws and Regulation on Cost Estimate 1.
