The facade of a cafe grows on farmland by the lake. Photo: DO HOANG Restaurants, eateries on farmland by the lake Located near the area of ​​lane 54 Vinh Luu connecting to Phuong Luu lake, a hundred square meter agricultural land next to the conditioning lake (Dong Hai ward 1) has been transformed into a monumental coffee shop for many months now. This cafe has a facade stretching for tens of meters by the lakeside road, the outside is a wall built with boulders, the top is a barbed wire fence, surrounded by climbing plants and landscaped trees. The inside of the shop is a hundred square meters wide, decorated in a landscaped garden style with many ornamental plants and mini koi fish tanks. Interspersed between the miniature architecture are the tables and chairs with umbrellas for guests to sit, the innermost is a wooden house as a dispensing area, a toilet area. This was originally an enclosed lakeside agricultural land, but in 2020, when the corrugated iron fence is removed, this wasteland has turned into the most majestic cafe on the shore of Phuong Luu Lake. Next to it, at the beginning of lane 54 Vinh Luu, another agricultural land has also been turned into a restaurant and pub in front of Phuong Luu lake. Around lane 54 Vinh Luu, many other agricultural lands have also been turned into houses, some are shops, and some are still fences. According to people in the area, these agricultural lands were initially leveled, covered with corrugated iron fences, and gradually turned into illegal constructions. Not far away, the area at the beginning of lane 155 Phuong Luu, facing the lake, and the hundreds of square meters of agricultural land by the lake has also turned into a restaurant with a facade stretching for tens of meters. The recovered project land is re-occupied At the corner of the lake near Phuong Luu residential area, the whole strip of land that was recovered for the construction project of Phuong Luu lake entertainment area was also encroached on the lake front, turning into a row of restaurants and pubs. The project, invested by Hong Ngoc Trading and Service Joint Stock Company, has a scale of more than 35,000 m of lakeside land in Dong Hai 1 ward, of which more than 4,700 m of land has been cleared and issued a pink book in 2017. . On this area, since 2010, Hong Ngoc Company has invested in building a drainage system, leveling ground, corrugated iron as a wall. After that, the wall was demolished and encroached upon, only to be recovered by the authorities. The investor has rebuilt the corrugated iron fence as the wall of the land. However, in recent years, the corrugated iron fence has been removed, households with land adjacent to the project have built works on the project’s land, turning this place into a row of houses and restaurants along the lake. . According to statistics of the People’s Committee of Dong Hai 1 ward, on the recovered area of ​​Hong Ngoc Company, there have been more than a dozen households occupying the project land, some households occupying a few square meters, some households occupy several tens of square meters, some even occupy several tens of square meters. Some households even occupy more than 100 m². These encroached lands were built with iron fences and corrugated iron, turning into a population of restaurants along the lake. Hong Ngoc Company has repeatedly petitioned for help but so far has not been returned to the occupied land. Mr. Pham Van Dien, Vice Chairman of Dong Hai 1 Ward People’s Committee, said that by the end of 2020, Hai An District People’s Committee had organized a force to support security and order for Hong Ngoc Company to re-plug the boundary marker to determine the portion of the border. occupied area. According to Mr. Dien, the ward has made a list and statistics of the area each household occupies to come here to set up a record and request the demolition. Detected but difficult to handle? According to Mr. Dien, in addition to the planned area for the project of Hong Ngoc Company, other agricultural land areas in Phuong Luu Lake have been planned for the project of Tan Hong Phuc Company and Thuan Thien Company. In Dong Hai 1 ward alone, there have been more than 30 illegal construction works, including more than a dozen works encroaching on the project land recovered by Hong Ngoc Company. Mr. Dien said the area has turned into a cafe, a restaurant, a lakeside project near Lane 123, Lane 155 Phuong Luu, Lane 54 Vinh Luu stretching to the beginning of Doan Chuan Street, which is farmland. planning industry for the project of Tan Hong Phuc Company and Thuan Thien Company. After being approved, these two projects have been suspended for many years, this strip of agricultural land has not been recovered. These agricultural plots have been leveled and gradually built up buildings. According to Mr. Dien, the Ward People’s Committee has inspected and made records for illegal construction works on this agricultural land. Explaining that the illegal construction work was discovered and then still completed and put into operation, Mr. Dien said that because the force of the ward was thin, the households leveled and built illegally on holidays. Even at night, the ward did not stop it in time. Under the direction of the district, the ward has now made statistics on the agricultural land areas that have been leveled and illegally built to report to the District People’s Committee for a plan to handle. Mr. Nguyen Van Tuan, Vice Chairman of Hai An District People’s Committee, said that the district had directed Dong Hai 1 ward to review and establish violation records in the area of ​​Phuong Luu lake. Based on that, districts and wards will mobilize to dismantle, otherwise, they will organize enforcement. “For the offending works at Phuong Luu lake, the district’s view is to resolutely dismantle it,” said Mr. Tuan. Take agricultural land to build hundreds of graves for sale In the area of ​​Phuong Luu lake (Dong Hai ward 1) in late 2020 and early 2021, hundreds of square meters of agricultural land near Dong Khe cemetery (Ngo Quyen district) have been razed to build a series of graves for sale. By the time the district authorities discovered, there were more than 140 graves growing on the agricultural land. The functional forces destroyed more than 140 graves that had not yet been cremated, while two graves had already buried the ashes.

Contribute to protect the environment On August 18, 2020, the Prime Minister signed and promulgated Decision No. 1266 approving the strategy for development of building materials in Vietnam in the 2021-2030 period, with a vision to 2050. Accordingly, provinces and cities must minimize the impact on the environment in the process of mining and processing minerals for building materials (building materials) and production of building materials. Using advanced mining technology combined with washing and removing impurities to improve sand quality Promote and encourage all economic sectors to invest in and develop the building materials industry; the fastest access and application of scientific and technological achievements; to develop an efficient and sustainable building materials industry to basically meet domestic demand, step by step increase exports; to encourage investment in research and transfer of production technology for processing lines of crushed sand, sea sand, salt water sand, brackish water sand, fine sand into sand qualified for use in concrete and mortar. “Do not use river sand that meets technical standards for concrete as a leveling material; do not export construction sand extracted from nature; promote the production and use of brackish water, fine sand, and sea sand. together with technical solutions; using advanced mining technology in combination with washing and removing impurities to improve sand quality; waste generated during sand treatment must be collected and stored properly. techniques or reuse; sand mining and processing establishments must meet standards and technical regulations on environmental protection; must carry out environmental rehabilitation and restoration in accordance with the law on mining. , sand processing…”, Decision 1266 stated. Increase project life The Ministry of Construction has submitted to the Government for issuance of Decision 1266, in which Appendix X on sand of the decision states: “For natural sand: Using advanced mining technology combined with washing and removing impurities. to improve the quality of sand,…”. Using clean sand contributes to environmental protection, limiting riverbank and coastal erosion Natural sand sources include hill sand, river and stream sand, estuary sand, dirty fine sand, etc., which have not been washed, so there is still a lot of dust, mud, clay, organic impurities, etc., which are harmful substances to the calf. cardboard and mortar, so often used for leveling is very wasteful. In particular, estuarine sand and sea sand with Cl- ion salt content in the sand > 0.05% cannot be used for leveling and must be discarded, causing waste. Currently, there are enterprises in the country that have successfully researched, manufactured and applied the technology of washing hill sand, river sand, sea sand, dirty sand to produce clean sand for concrete and mortar that meets TCVN 7570 standards: 2006, when applying technology, will make full use of special sand resources, contributing to rational use of sand resources and overcoming sand scarcity. Talking to the press, architect Tran Thanh Tong – Director of Tran Giang Planning and Architectural Design Consulting Co., Ltd (Can Tho City) – said that over the past 10 years, the company has always used clean sand in accordance with the law. Phan Thanh technology for all construction works. Works using clean sand have a slight increase in cost compared to dirty sand, unwashed sand, but in return, works using clean sand are very durable, beautiful, and have a much longer life than using dirty sand. , sand is not ready to wash. According to Mr. Vo Tan Dung, the inventor of the sand washing technology of Phan Thanh Can Tho Company, in fact, when exploiting sand from Tien and Hau rivers in combination with a cleaning factory in the spirit of Appendix X of Decision No. 1266/QD-TTg dated August 18, 2020 of the Prime Minister will help the cost of sand in construction to be converted lower than the cost of using unfiltered sand about 115,000 VND/m3 of sand (cost of The cost of selecting and washing sand at the mine and loading and unloading the sand onto the barge costs at most: 50,000 VND/m3; meanwhile, the cost of sieving through manual nets but not clean: 60,000 VND/m3, 10% impurities including sand and transportation loading and unloading to the construction site but cannot be used, the minimum cost is: 25,000 VND/m3, over 10% of the cement cost, equivalent to about: 80,000 VND when using 1m3 of sand for concrete and mortar). People are used to using unfiltered sand to clean it is paradoxical because in concrete and mortar, there is still too much dust, mud, clay, organic impurities, harmful to the house, and using clean sand when re-cleaning is less expensive and reduces costs. construction cost compared to using unwashed sand. For example, converting sand containing 10.5% impurities, concrete grade 250 will be mixed with 9.06 kg of impurities/bag of cement 50 kg and if sand with 5% impurities, concrete grade 250 will be mixed 4.2 kg. impurities/bag of cement; mortar grade 100 if the sand 10.5% impurities are mixed 17.47 kg of impurities/1 bag of cement and mortar grade 100 if the sand 5% impurities in the sand are mixed 8.32 kg of impurities/bag cement. In addition, using clean sand contributes to quality assurance, so you don’t have to spend too much money on painting many times to waterproof, reduce maintenance costs, etc. In particular, the lifespan is hundreds of years compared to using sand without passing. After a few decades, the construction must be demolished and rebuilt, causing damage of several tens of % of the total value of the work. Therefore, the promulgation of Decision 1266/QD-TTg dated August 18, 2020 of the Prime Minister is practical, especially sand resources will be improved in quality by removing harmful impurities when being washed. clean, contributing to the rational use of sand resources, overcoming the scarcity of sand and ensuring sustainable construction quality for the entire population.

On June 13, 2016, the Provincial People’s Committee issued Official Letter No. 894 / UBND-TNMT on the improvement of agricultural land that has been assigned to households and individuals. Accordingly, the Provincial People’s Committee authorizes the People’s Committees of districts, towns and cities to grant permits to renovate agricultural land which has been assigned to households and individuals, in combination with full recovery of leveling land. According to incomplete reported data, the implementation of Official Letter No. 894 / UBND-TNMT of the Provincial People’s Committee and Official Letter No. 702 / STNMT-KS, dated April 20, 2017, Official Letter No. 752 / STNMT-KS, dated 26 -4-2017 of the Department of Natural Resources and Environment (TN-MT) on the guidance of licensing procedures for the improvement of agricultural land assigned to households and individuals to combine land reclamation, to date, People’s Committees of districts, towns and cities have granted permits for about 200 cases. According to the general assessment of districts, towns, cities and households and individuals licensed to renovate agricultural land, this is a very right policy and popular with people when many problems have been solved. and contribute to promoting local socio-economic development. Therefore, the majority of households and individuals licensed to renovate agricultural land have coordinated with contracting units to perform the ground improvement combined with fully reclamation of leveling land in accordance with the plan, exploiting the right location and licensed area. After being licensed and conducting land improvement, many individual households have abandoned the improved land, did not implement the land recovery plan, planted trees for environmental restoration … according to regulations. Along with that, the fulfillment of financial obligations towards the State, such as: fees for granting mineral mining rights, environmental protection fees, royalties … are fully implemented by households in accordance with regulations. . Land reclamation is carried out from the actual needs of land users to facilitate production. The process of licensing for ground improvement in combination with salvaging land for reclamation has made good use of backfill resources to meet the national goal of building a new countryside (NTM), building infrastructure. floors, land fund creation and production development projects. This issue not only makes an important contribution to socio-economic development but also increases revenue for the local budget; At the same time, to limit the illegal exploitation of land and leveling … * There have been variable generals in implementation In addition to the above positive results, the reflection of voters to the press agencies and the inspection and examination of the authorities shows that: many of the following households and individuals When licensed by the competent authorities (usually these fully renovated land mines are only licensed for a period of 12 months-PV), this license has turned into a “talisman” called “land mine”. exploiting, and then actively exploiting minerals. In many cases, the exploitation exceeds the height, depth and reserves; There are even a few cases of “forgetting” the back ground work or in other words, after the mineral recovery did not comply with the original commitment dossier when applying for a license or having done it, it was just as follows. coping mode. Because the main purpose of the households, this individual is to take advantage of the policy to apply for permits and create a land improvement “cover” to sell land for profit. It is worth mentioning that, taking advantage of this policy, many households are licensed to reclaim land with full use of leveling land with the volume of hundreds of thousands of m3 / year. In particular, there is a situation that some households have taken advantage of exploiting the neighboring land areas even though they have not been licensed to gain illicit profits. The areas assessed as “hot” in the exploitation of landfill are the districts: Quang Trach, Bo Trach, Quang Ninh and Le Thuy. After that, the violations were detected by the People’s Committees of districts, towns, cities and functional agencies and strictly dealt with administrative violations. Specifically, many cases were fined for administrative violations with a fine of 45 million VND, forced to pay back the illicit profits from illegal land exploitation more than 100 million VND / case of violation; At the same time, the license granted. However, these violations have caused pollution, environmental degradation and changed land use purposes, significantly affecting the flora, leaving negative public opinion among the people. * It is necessary to seriously and effectively implement the direction of the Provincial People’s Committee Immediately detecting the above situation, in recent years, the provincial People’s Committee has issued many documents directing to strengthen the state management in exploiting land and leveling in the province. Mr. Phan Xuan Tuan, Head of the Department of Minerals (Department of Natural Resources and Environment), said that, in the face of this fact, to follow the instructions of the Provincial People’s Committee and to manage well the cases of licensing for ground improvement with full recovery of leveling land. Department of Natural Resources and Environment has also issued many documents to direct to districts, towns and cities. Documents of the Department suggest localities to strengthen and improve the quality of inspection, supervision and appraisal of documents to ensure that the land improvement does not cause major terrain distortions, environmental pollution and waste. resource fees for projects that allow ground improvement in combination with full recovery of land and leveling; strengthen inspection and supervision and take effective measures to promptly prevent and strictly handle violations. Special note, the renovation does not affect the safety of power lines, lakes, irrigation dams and other construction works. One point of land improvement with land salvage shows signs of environmental degradation and changes in land use purposes, significantly affecting the flora … The Department requires districts, cities, towns and communes to closely monitor the reserves allowed to be exploited, to improve and restore the environment and plant trees after harvesting, to avoid taking advantage of ground improvement to illegal mineral exploitation. In case of detecting a violation, it shall be strictly handled according to law provisions. Along with that, it is required that households and individuals that have been licensed to renovate agricultural land combined with fully reclaiming land and leveling will soon complete the project in accordance with the approved plan. In front of the direction of the Provincial People’s Committee and the Department of Natural Resources and Environment, the leaders of the People’s Committees of Quang Trach, Bo Trach, Quang Ninh, Le Thuy districts … said that they continued to direct the specialized departments and the People’s Committees of communes to strengthen the state management of minerals with the inspection and supervision of the implementation of plans on ground improvement with full recovery of land and leveling by households and individuals in accordance with regulations; promptly detect and strictly handle violations; request households to exploit too deeply to allow leveling, planting trees to restore the environment in the exploited area; calculating retrospective collection of fees for granting mineral mining rights and related fees for households who illegally exploit land. For cases of serious violations, in addition to handling violations according to the provisions of law, a decision to revoke the granted license will also be issued. In addition, the People’s Committee should strengthen the propaganda, dissemination and education of the law on minerals; mobilize people not to illegally exploit, purchase, store and transport minerals; detecting and denouncing organizations and individuals that illegally exploit minerals … Districts, towns, cities, communes, wards, functional units need to seriously implement and have effective solutions to well implement the instructions of the Provincial People’s Committee …

Mr. Lai Hong Thanh, Deputy Director General of the General Department of Geology and Minerals (Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment) Representative of state management agency on minerals, Mr. Lai Hong Thanh, Deputy Director of General Department of Geology and Minerals (MONRE) shared with SGGP Newspaper reporter about the management of exploration and mineral exploitation across the country today. * Reporter: Sir, the scarcity of leveling materials for the North-South expressway project is no longer a new problem. Government leaders, many ministries, branches and localities also joined in, but the situation has not improved much. What do you think? – Mr. LAI HONG THANH: As a key national project, which has been prepared and implemented since 2017, the North-South expressway project has received special attention from the National Assembly, the Government and relevant agencies. favorable conditions for deployment. However, in some sections of the route, the locality is facing difficulties with materials for construction. It is estimated that the total demand for the whole route will need about 60.7 million m³ of embankment land; 21.5 million m³ of rocks of all kinds and 10.8 million m³ of sand. In the process of project formulation, technical design, design consultant surveyed and proposed to use material mines. Some mines in many localities are being implemented well, but there are also a number of mines that have not met the demand for many reasons: the transportation distance is too far, leading to high cost, not timely supply; Some mines have expired, are waiting for renewal … Besides, there are mines in the local planning that are implementing mining licensing procedures, but according to the current law, the process is , the procedure takes quite a long time. Before the North-South expressway project was implemented, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment issued Circular No. 01/2016 / TT-BTNMT technical regulations on the exploration of river-bed sand and gravel and rock for leveling materials. fill. This Circular simplifies the technical method and volume of exploration works, thereby shortening the time for licensing exploration and exploitation. Recently, the ministry has also issued Document No. 1488 / BTNMT-ĐCKS dated March 29, 2016 on licensing exploration and exploitation of minerals as common building materials for expressway projects. We have also instructed the provincial People’s Committee to apply the Mineral Law in the direction: construction works can take the excavated soil to convert to the embankment within the service scope of that work without having to apply for a permit. … * Some localities say that even after applying regulations to facilitate businesses, it is still too long to be licensed for exploration and mining? – Law on Minerals 2010 has been implemented for more than 10 years, there are points to be adjusted and the above mentioned case (exploration and exploitation of minerals as common building materials) is one of the points that need to be amended. . In the immediate future, I propose to the competent authority, here the National Assembly, to consider and issue a separate resolution following the simplified procedures on the order of procedures for exploration and exploitation of mines for the project. this. However, the implementation progress depends greatly on the locality, because the Provincial People’s Committee is the authority to approve and grant exploration and exploitation permits. * How about the possibility of using thermal power plant ash or using construction waste to build roads, sir? – In my opinion, it is necessary to evaluate the environmental impact of using ash and slag in thermal power plants. But even if it can be used, the amount of this offset is also negligible compared to the huge demand of the expressway project. * The 2010 Law on Minerals has brought into play a positive effect over the years, but the law has also revealed a number of shortcomings that need improvement. Can you elaborate on these shortcomings and is the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment expected to submit to the Government and the National Assembly for amendments to the law? – Currently, we are evaluating and summarizing the implementation of the Mineral Law 2010 and have identified a number of shortcomings. That is, do not specify the joint venture or association in mineral exploitation activities; there is no uniform regulation with the law on investment to control when there is a change in the capital of the enterprise owner that has been granted a license for mineral exploration and exploitation; responsibilities of organizations and individuals exploiting minerals after being licensed for exploitation in monitoring and supervising the actual exploited output; responsibility for coordinating mineral management in the areas bordering areas between provinces and cities (especially for sand minerals, river-bed gravel) … After a comprehensive assessment, we will take the next steps to submit to the authorities to include the amendment and supplement of the Mineral Law into the law building program, possibly 2022 or 2023. * Thank you Sir!

Khanh Hoa prepares building materials

Mr. Nguyen Van Dan, Director of the Department of Transport – Transport (MOT) of Khanh Hoa province, said that this Department, together with the Department of Natural Resources and Environment and the districts and towns with the highway passing through, are urgently reviewing. , report and propose licensing of material mines for construction as soon as the North – South expressway section passes Khanh Hoa expected in the second quarter of 2021.

According to calculations, the North – South expressway project Nha Trang – Cam Lam section needs more than 3 million cubic meters of land for leveling; the section of Cam Lam – Vinh Hao, requires 200,000 m3 of soil for embankment. In addition, the project also needs a large amount of stone for the production of hot asphalt concrete on the road surface. With such a great demand, the project investors are worried about the source of materials during the construction process.

To proactively source materials, from March 2020, the Project Management Board of Ho Chi Minh Road sent a document to the People’s Committee of Khanh Hoa province on the agreement on a material mine, landfill site. According to Mr. Nguyen Van Dan, raw materials for the construction of the North-South expressway through Khanh Hoa are relatively abundant. “The People’s Committee of Khanh Hoa province has approved the quarries, sand for common building materials and land mines for landfilling, which have been issued with a valid mineral mining license by the PPC. has been approved by the Provincial People’s Committee, requesting the Project Management Board of Ho Chi Minh Road to update the above mineral mines to implement the regulations “, Mr. Dan said.

As for the earth, stone, and sand mines used to serve the project without environmental records, the mine owners must make an environmental impact assessment report and submit it to the Provincial People’s Committee for appraisal and approval; the quarry areas, sand as common building materials and land mines used for leveling have not been licensed for exploitation, assign the Department of Natural Resources and Environment to coordinate with relevant units to review and consult to report to the Provincial People’s Committee for handling and settlement.

According to Mr. Le Thanh Binh, Deputy Director of the Ho Chi Minh Road Project Management Board (Ministry of Transport), up to this point, the North-South Expressway Project through Khanh Hoa province has basically completed the liberation. ground; Only a few jobs related to the relocation of technical infrastructure are still being carried out.

Recently, in the meeting with the leaders of Khanh Hoa Provincial People’s Committee, Mr. Le Anh Tuan, Deputy Minister of Transport, also proposed Khanh Hoa Provincial People’s Committee to create material sources, stabilize material prices during implementation, avoid cases. resources are scarce, prices are pushed up.

Binh Dinh and Quang Ngai have agreed the route plan

While the North-South expressway through Khanh Hoa was about to be started, Quang Ngai and Binh Dinh have completed the route plan.

Mr. Nguyen Phong, Director of Quang Ngai Department of Transport, said that the locality has completed the planning of the route and is agreed by the Ministry of Transport, including the starting point at km130 + 800 expressways of Da Nang – Quang Ngai, in Nghia Dien commune (district Tu Nghia, Quang Ngai province) and the end point intersects Provincial Highway 629, in Bong Son town (Hoai Nhon, Binh Dinh).

On the Binh Dinh province side, Mr. Nguyen Tu Cong Hoang, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee said that the North-South expressway project through Binh Dinh province was agreed by the Ministry of Transport to be divided into 3 component projects, including: Quang Ngai – Hoai Nhon Project, Hoai Nhon – Quy Nhon Project and Quy Nhon – Tuy Hoa Project (Phu Yen Province).

“There are two directions presented to the leaders of the province and the Ministry of Transport. In which, option 1 builds a route to the east (about 3-4 km from National Highway 1), 110 km long and option 2 builds a western direction (about 12-35 km from National Highway 1) 113 km long. “, Mr. Hoang said.

Through analysis, the two investment plans have their own advantages and disadvantages. However, if done according to option 1, the distance between the expressway to economic zones, industrial clusters and city center. Quy Nhon will be closer, convenient to connect traffic, promote the development of industries in many fields, create a driving force for socio-economic development.

“Option 1 is in line with the planning and development orientation of Binh Dinh to 2035, with a vision to 2050. Therefore, Binh Dinh chooses the plan to build the North-South expressway across the area according to the direction of the Eastern route “, Mr. Hoang emphasized.

According to Deputy Minister of Transport Le Anh Tuan, the fact that Quang Ngai has agreed on the route is an important premise for the project to continue the implementation steps. As for Binh Dinh, the Ministry of Transport has asked the province to continue to work closely with the consultant and the Ministry of Transport to survey the entire North-South expressway through the area, at the same time providing more data related to the locality. project selected by the province.

In recent days, households living in hamlet 3, Bau Phuong village, Chau Pha commune (Phu My town, Ba Ria – Vung Tau province) expressed frustration at the Song Ca stream flowing through the area by an enterprise. On the side of Chau Duc Sonadezi Urban Joint Stock Company (referred to as Chau Duc Sonadezi Company, the address of Suoi Nghe commune, Chau Duc district) blatantly dumped the ground level, encroached upon and manipulated the stream flow, leading to the fact that people do not have water for irrigation, the risk of flooding when the rainy season comes.

People are frustrated by the Song Ca stream being filled with soil, occupied

This is a stream located adjacent to two communes: Suoi Nghe, Chau Duc and Chau Pha districts, Phu My town. There are signs of serious encroachment, if there is no timely preventive measures, it will be in danger of “disappearing”.

According to local people, for more than a week, they discovered that many convoys of the enterprise of Sonadezi Chau Duc company carried soil for leveling, then blatantly poured into Song Ca stream, causing the stream bed to be confiscated. narrow, blocked flow.

Mr. Ly Tau Dung (residing in group 3, Bau Phuong village) said that Song Ca stream is a natural stream with a long history, tens of meters wide and stretches from the foot of Da Den lake to Ba Ria city. year is used for flood drainage, at the same time serving irrigation and people’s daily life. However, recently, a business suddenly stopped the flow of land and encroached upon it.

The incident made many households angry, calling for help to the local government for intervention and prevention.

“My family has more than 7 sao of land to grow fruit trees located adjacent to the stream. Every year, we use water from the stream for irrigation. However, the current state of the stream is being leveled and encroached on seriously, afraid that next time there will be no more water to irrigate. Therefore, we earnestly hope that the local government will soon step in to prevent encroachment ”. Mr. Dung shared.

Enterprises pour land straight into the stream, causing the stream bed to narrow

Like Mr. Dung’s family, there are 9 households that share their frustration and face the situation of lack of water for irrigation because the stream is being “killed”, flooded when the rainy season comes. Meanwhile, the households all use water from the stream for irrigation and living.

According to PV’s record on April 13, the area of ​​Song Ca stream corridor was completely encroached upon, soil and rock were poured straight into the stream, causing some points to be blocked, the current status stretches more than 2km along. along the stream.

Worth mentioning, through observation, in addition to stream leveling, this enterprise is currently placing a pipeline system from the direction of Sonadezi Chau Duc industrial park to the Song Ca stream (suspected waste pipe). However, after being discovered by people and Chau Pha commune authorities, the enterprise poured land on the sewer system to “hide”.

Current status of Song Ca stream upstream, near the flood discharge dam of Da Den lake

Before the people reflected, the People’s Committee of Chau Pha commune sent staff to the scene to record the reality. After that, the People’s Committee of the commune issued a written report, requesting the People’s Committee of Phu My town to send a written petition to the People’s Committee of Ba Ria – Vung Tau province and functional departments to quickly coordinate in inspection and settlement.

According to the petition of the People’s Committee of Chau Pha commune, the time when the functional team checked and recorded the land filling and leveling area was in Suoi Nghe commune, Chau Duc district. The current situation of land overflowing into the stream, preventing the flow of about 1/3 of the stream, the land falling is 5–7m higher than the stream site, no embankment, more than 3km in length (paired with the stream bank).

Authorities determined that the filling of stream land was carried out by Chau Duc Sonadezi Urban Joint Stock Company. Through the comparison of maps, cadastral records, the Song Ca stream is 18-21m wide, in fact this company has dumped soil, leveled up 1/2 of the stream’s width.

People exchange the case with PV (right photo) and petition of the People’s Committee of Chau Pha commune

Chau Pha Commune People’s Committee proposed, this is the main stream, leading from the flood discharge dam of Da Den lake (Song Xoai commune, Phu My town) to the downstream of Song Ca stream, serving for agricultural irrigation and water. living in Chau Pha commune in particular and Ba Ria – Vung Tau province in general.

Therefore, the leveling, encroaching, preventing flow leads to the risk of water shortage for irrigation for households. Moreover, the filling of soil, encroachment on stream land, not building embankments when the rainy season comes, the soil will landslide, blocking the entire stream, causing inundation in the rainy season.

Mr. Nguyen Tan Hiep, Chairman of Chau Pha Commune People’s Committee, said that after checking the status of Song Ca stream was encroached upon, seeing that the case was beyond its authority to resolve, the CPC had to report in writing and request the Town People’s Committee. coordinate with the provincial functional branches in handling and timely settlement.

It is known that earlier in the inspection of the current state of the stream, the Chau Pha commune authorities invited the Sonadezi Chau Duc company to work, but this enterprise did not coordinate.

Law Messenger will continue to inform the case!
