Description of Baseline Environment Construction Location – within R&D zone, Hoa Lac High-tech Park, Hanoi (showed in figure). Land use – approximately 20,000 m2 (approved by MOST), construction coverage of 20%, average height of a 5-storey building, Figure 2. VINALAB-MAMET Location
Figure 4. Environmental Management System during Construction Environmental management during construction requires the involvement of several stakeholders and agencies, each with different and responsibilities to ensure that adverse impacts are minimize during the construction of project components. Environment management responsibilities have been defined. Environmental management during construction involves the Project CPMU and its environmental consultant, Environmental Department of Management Unit of HHTP, Contractors, Construction supervision Consultant (CSC). Figure 5 presents the relationships between all actors for the environmental management system of project. Environmental management of the LAB during operation shall be enforced and monitored by Management Unit of HHTP and local competent authorities. Detailed responsibilities for all actors involved are presented in table below.
6. Responsibilities for Environmental Management Organization Roles and responsibilities Sub-component preparation Sub-component implementation Sub-component operation CPMU, Environmental Staff/Consultant (EC) Employenvironmental and take the overall responsibility for EMP preparation and submission for approval; Employ environmentalstaff/ consultant to monitor progress during construction. The CPMU assisted by environmental consultant will have the final responsibility for environmental performance of the project during both the construction and operational phases. The CPMU assisted by environmental consultant will be also in charge of reporting the EMP implementation to the World Bank and DONRE. In order to get effectiveness in the implementation process. Provide advice to LAB owner on the EMP implementation during the first year of operation Monitor progress during the year of operation; The CPMU will be also in charge of reporting the EMP implementation to the World Bank and DONRE Hoa Lac High Tech Park Management Unit Take general responsibility for management and monitoring to all issues related to environmental and social aspects under Vietnamese law.

Monitoring Report System In to exchange information effectively, establish a database for monitoring the implementation of mitigation measures, and create an effective implementation of EMP, it is essential to adopt a system of standard report at all levels of management as shown in the table below. Table 8. System of Environmental Monitoring Report Issues to be reported Monitoring at 1st level Monitoring at 2nd level Monitoring at 3st level Construction stage 1 Implement mitigation measures on site by contractors selfmonitoring by contractor Contractor to send monthly report to CSC Monitoring on daily basis by CSC CSC to prepare monthly report to CPMU and EC Periodic Monitoring on monthly basis by Environmental staff/consultant (ES/C) ES/C prepare biannual report and send to CPMU/WB for review and authorities if required 2 Monitoring the EMP Compliance Monitoring on daily basis by CSC CSC to prepare monthly report to CPMU Periodic Monitoring on quarterly basis by Environmental staff/consultant (ES/C) ES/C prepare biannual report and send to CPMU/WB for review and local authorities if required Operation stage 1 Environmental monitoring report Quarterly Monitored by ES/C Frequency of report submission: twicein the first year of operation ES/C prepare biannual report and send to CPMU/WB for review Capacity building/Training plan on actual demands in project implementation, a capacity building and training program for relevant agencies is established as shown in the table 9: No

ANNEXES Annex1: Environmental and social safeguards checklist With all sub-project/activities under Component 2 of FIRST project, the CPMU environmental staff/consultant will do screening to determine the eligibility of subprojects. The CPMU environmental staff or/and consultant will complete the checklist. By indicating “Yes” to any safeguard policy other than Environment Assessment-OP4.01, the sub-project will be considered as not eligible.
Note: if any policy is triggered by the sub-project, the project’s owner must indicate the severity of the potential impact as instructed in the Table below. If not, the sub-project will be considered as environmentally non-eligible. Safeguard policy Identification of Possible Safeguard issue(s) Please check on box Provide your response here, if applicable Environmental Assessment Does the project have the potential for adverse environmental or social risks and impacts in its area of influence No Yes If Yes, indicate here the potential severity for the impact and proposed project design elements that will help prevent potential adverse impacts Natural Habitats The Bank does not finance projects that degrade or convert critical habitats (protected areas or sites important for biodiversity). Do the project activities have the potential to cause significant conversion (loss) or degradation of natural habitats? (The loss can occur either directly e.g. construction activities) or indirectly (through human activities induced by the project) No Yes If Yes, indicate here either proposed alternative sites(s) or if no alternative sites are available proposed project design elements that will help prevent potential adverse impacts Pest management Are any pesticides or procurement of pesticide equipment being financed by the project No Yes If Yes, indicate here proposed project design elements (integrated Pest management) that will help prevent potential adverse impacts Does the project introduce new pest management practices or expand or alter existing pest management practices No Are there other project activates that may lead to substantially increased pesticide use Does the project include the manufacture or disposal of environmentally significant quantities of pest control products? No
