|
As calculated, the total
collected charge amount is expected to reach about VND8.3 billion in one year
(VND1.1 billion for ordinary solid wastes, and VND7.2 billion for hazardous
solid wastes). For ordinary solid wastes in wards, towns, and industrial zones
as well as industrial clusters in the province, the rate of environmental
protection charges is VND 40,000/ton and VND32,000/ton in other areas. For
hazardous solid wastes, the rate is VND 6,000,000/ton. According to the survey
carried out by Bien Hoa Urban Environment Service Company, the average amount of
solid wastes in Bien Hoa is 0.65kg/person per day. Meanwhile, as regulated, the
amount of solid wastes for grade-2 urban areas is 1kg/person per day. Therefore,
the charge amount for solid wastes shall be 0.8kg/person per day in urban areas
and 0.5kg/person per day in other areas. Mr Phan Van Het, Deputy Director of
Department of Natural Resources and Environment, said that Sonadezi is now
building a hazardous solid waste treatment plant and would put it into operation
by early 2010. He also suggested that the Provincial People’s Committee should
allow the construction of hazardous solid waste treatment plant at Trang Dai
landfill or Quang Trung landfill.
