QUẢNG NINH – The People’s Co妹妹ittee of northern Quảng Ninh Province has ordered the coal mining sector to implement urgent solutions to protect the environment.

Accordingly, the co妹妹ittee has asked for lowering the height of coal dumps, planting trees to cover the dumps and stepping up monitoring of the environment.

Việt Nam Coal and Mineral Industries Holding Corporation Limited (Vinacomin) and Đông Bắc Corporation under the Ministry of Defence have proposed solutions under six groups.

The proposals include solutions to avoid landslides and rocks floating to protect the environment; dredging and improving water drainage system; relocating inhabitants out of risky areas; treating waste water, water on the surface, toxic waste and solid waste; and reducing level of dust, noise and emissions. Vinacomin also proposed recovering environment of some  一 九0ha of land with dumps at Chính Bắc Núi Béo, Đông Cao Sơn and Hà Ráng areas within this year.

In addition, the corporation aims to stop dumping of coal at dumps exposed to Highway  一 八A during the  二0 一 八- 二0 period and construct conveyor belts to transport coal from and to ports and power plants by  二0 二0.

To effectively implement the proposals, deputy chairman of Quảng Ninh Province’s People’s Co妹妹ittee Đặng Huy Hậu asked the two corporations to share the conveyor belt system to avoid waste, reduce released dust while using the mistorising system and launch projects to dredge rivers and streams.

The companies were also urged to build automatic environmental monitoring stations following standards.

Earlier, households living in Mông Dương Ward, Cẩm Phả City, submitted a petition to local authorities detailing the risks they face from coal mining activities of the Thăng Long One Member Ltd Company, located nearby.

Within this month alone, three downpours have washed mud from the company’s dumps towards houses in the area, causing floods and landslides. Some families have been forced to leave their homes for temporary shelters.

Hoàng Ngọc Chí, a local, said the company started coal mining activities in July  二0 一 五, dumping piles of soil and rock  三0 to  七0m high without any safety measures. The dumps are less than  五0m from the houses of locals.

The company often drills the ground for mine explosions without informing the public. – VNS
