7. ENVIRONMENT CONTROL

7.1 General

The following environmental requirements in the design of the plant system and equipment
shall be followed. Furthermore, all the requirements in the approved EIA of the Quang Trach
I TPP and Vietnamese environmental Law and Regulations shall be studied.
Project’s EIA report has been prepared and approved by the MONRE by Decision No
303/QDD-BTNMT dated 29/01/2018 on Approval of EIA report on Quang Trach I TPP. The
report is base for Government and local authorities to supervise the implementation of
measures applied to mitigate the adverse impacts on the environment (including air, water,
soil etc.)
During contract’s performance, there might be changes related to Project’s scale, capacity,
technology or changes on treatment of air emission, waste water, solid wastes etc. and
changes on environmental mitigation measures. And these changes can be implemented only
when get official approval from the approval authority (MONRE). EVN will work with the
Contractor along the process to get the approval
The following environmental conditions shall be met as minimum requirements:

7.2 Noise Emission Limits

Noise control shall be performed following the requirement of in accordance with the
approved EIA and QCVN 26:2010 National Technical Regulation on Noise. Suitable acoustic
treatment shall be provided to ensure that, when the plant is operating at any load up to and
including its maximum capabilities. The following shall apply:
(1) The noise level at the boundary of Site shall not exceed values listed in above <Table 9.
Environmental Conditions Requirement>.
(2) The equivalent sound pressure level at working places (except for Center control room and
Administration Office, 65dBA) in the Plant shall not exceed 85 dBA.
Prior to Provisional Acceptance, noise level measurements shall be taken by Contractor in the
presence of OWNER in various working areas in the plant and along the boundary of the site
in a manner to be agreed between the Contractor and OWNER to verify that the noise levels
conform to the above requirement mentioned in item (1) and (2) above. Noise level
measurements shall also be taken during factory performance tests as applicable.
Should the measured noise levels exceed these limitations, the Contractor shall proceed to
take appropriate steps to reduce the levels to within acceptable limits. Noise level
measurements shall be taken by the Contractor following any modification to verify
compliance with the Contract’s requirements.

7.3 Vibration Limits

The equipment shall be designed and constructed to operate without vibration in so far as the
nature of the works will permit. Appropriate action shall be undertaken by the Contractor
wherever vibration is excessive, and action is required to reduce it to an acceptable level.

The mechanical vibration at any operation load shall not exceed the zone A/B boundary as per
ISO 20816 for rotating machines such as turbine, pumps, fans, drives etc., for the type and
scope of tests required to prove compliance with the criteria laid. If the acceptable level of
vibration for equipment is not defined in ISO 20816, it should be complied with the relevant
code and standards in practice, but approved by Owner.
