I. GENERAL PRINCIPLES
1. Objectives of the elaboration of reports on
the assessment of environmental impacts for construction planning projects
Reports on the assessment of environmental
impacts (hereinafter referred to as AEI reports for short) constitute part of
contents of urban construction planning projects. The elaboration of AEI
reports for construction planning projects is aimed at:
1.1. Concretizing Article 9, Chapter III of the
Government’s Decree No.175/CP of October 18, 1994, which stipulates that
investors and project owners shall have to conduct AEI when elaborating general
planning projects for regional development, plannings and plans for development
of branches, provinces or centrally-run cities as well as plannings for urban
centers and population areas.
1.2. Analyzing, assessing the real situation on
environment; forecasting the demand for use and exploitation of natural
resources in service of the urban and rural development objectives; forecasting
wastes which cause environmental pollution and possible adverse impacts of the
expected construction planning projects’ activities, thereby proposing the
finalization of designing solutions to construction plannings as well as
appropriate policies and measures for environment protection, prevention or
treatment of environmental pollution, ensuring the stable and sustainable
development of urban centers and rural population areas.

2. Objects of application
All projects for construction planning,
including regional and territorial construction plannings, general plannings
and detailed plannings of urban centers and rural population areas as well as
specialized construction plannings shall be subject to elaboration of the AEI
reports.
For detailed planning projects on the grounds of
investment projects for construction of concentrated areas like new urban
centers, industrial parks or other functional zones, which are carried out by
an investor assigned or leased land by the State, the AEI reports shall be made
only once in the investment preparation stage.
3. Interpretation of a number of terms
- Environment: means natural factors and
artificial material factors which are closely inter-related, surround the human
beings and affect the life, production as well as the existence and development
of man and nature.
- Base environment: means the present
environmental status within the scope and boundaries of construction planning
elaboration, and relevant areas affected by the projected construction planning
activities.

forms.
- Ecological system: means a system of
populations of living things that cohabit and develop in a certain environment,
are interacted and related to the environment.
- Assessment of environmental impacts (AEI):
is the process of studying, identifying, forecasting and analyzing important

a/ Screening to determine the necessity and
extent of elaboration of the AEI reports for construction planning projects.
b/ Determining the AEI scope
The AEI scope for construction planning projects
includes: space, time and affected environmental components:
- Regarding the space: The AEI scope and
boundaries may be determined on the basis of the scope and boundaries for
elaboration of construction plannings and adjacent territories, which are
affected directly by the projected construction planning activities;

...
Please sign up or sign in to your Pro Membership to see English documents.
In order to determine the AEI scope, it is
necessary to study and sum-up impacts of the construction planning activities
as well as the areas which may be affected, stating the intensity, duration and
consequences of the impacts.
c/ Elaboration of the AEI reports
The AEI reports for construction planning
projects shall be made according to the following two steps:
- Step 1: To make the preliminary AEI report,
which is prepared in the stage of setting the tasks of designing the
construction planning and mainly applicable to the regional construction
plannings and general plannings of urban centers of grades I and II as well as
to special cases where it is deemed necessary, serving as basis for selection
of the optimum construction planning designs and creation of the detailed AEI
schemes;
- Step 2: To make the detailed AEI report, which
is carried out in the stage of designing the construction plannings to be
submitted to the competent State authorities for ratification.
d/ Evaluation and ratification of the AEI
reports
The evaluation and ratification of the AEI
reports for construction planning projects shall be carried out simultaneously
with the evaluation and ratification of the construction plannings projects.
e/ AEI management and supervision plans
The ratified AEI reports shall serve as basis
for the elaboration of plans on management as well as programs on observation
and supervision of environmental impacts in the process of executing the
plannings such as elaborating construction planning projects at lower levels,
carrying out the investment preparation work of construction projects, and the
process of managing the construction according to plannings.
