Collected dredged materials have to be processed, as per Vietnamese regulations on waste collection, to ensure safe and environmentally secure transportation, storage, treatment and management. Those involved in handling of sludge should be specialized and have certification of sludge handling. Guidelines for certification of sludge handling are available in Circular No. 12/2011/TT-BTNMT on management of hazardous substance. If access roads are needed, they must have been considered in the environmental assessment. Site de-watering and water diversions: In the case that dredging activities require that works are carried out within the watercourse, the work area must be dewatered to provide for construction in dry conditions. The sediment laden water pumped from the work area must be discharged using an appropriate sediment control measure for treatment before release to the environment. If landowners are affected by use of their areas for stockpiles or borrow pits, they must be included in the project resettlement plan. 6 Sub-project Environmental Safeguard Documents Requirements 6.1 Documentation Requirements Safeguard documents of subprojects will be prepared, reviewed and approved in accordance with applicable existing Vietnamese environmental regulations (Decree no. 29/ND-CP dated 18 April 2011).
