Deputy Tran Thanh Trong - Thuan An City Deputies Group asks a question

Mr. Ngo Quang Su said that in 2023, the Department of Natural Resources and Environment received and processed 196.195 eligible applications and issued 271.891 Certificates.

The remaining about 42 residential projects that are not eligible for transfer as prescribed in Decree No. 148/2020/ND-CP, because: the investors have not yet carried out land allocation procedures; have not fulfilled financial obligations; have not completed investment in infrastructure construction according to the approved 1/500-scale detailed planning, or have invested the infrastructure and signed a transfer contract to the people but have not yet contacted the Department of Construction for inspection and acceptance.

Faced with the above situation, the Provincial Party Committee and People's Committee directed the Department of Construction and Provincial Inspectorate to coordinate with the Department of Natural Resources and Environment, relevant departments, committees and branches and the district People's Committee to establish an inspection team to promptly remove difficulties and problems for enterprises.

Deputy Nguyen Thai Minh Quang - Thu Dau Mot City Deputies Group asks a question

Mr. Ngo Quang Su said that to control wastewater discharge from enterprises, Binh Duong province had installed an automatic wastewater monitoring system since 2011 for 6 industrial parks. To date, industrial parks, industrial clusters and waste sources with wastewater flow of over 500 m3/day have been installed with automatic monitoring systems, with a total of 109 waste sources, continuously controlling 24/24 the operation of the treatment system and wastewater quality of waste sources with a flow of about 280,000 m3/day of industrial wastewater and 70,000 m3/day of urban wastewater, accounting for 85% of industrial wastewater and 36% of urban wastewater generated in the province. At the same time, installing an automatic emission monitoring system for 38 waste sources.

Many industrial parks and industrial clusters have been invested in upgrading and renovating to meet wastewater treatment standards such as: My Phuoc I and III, Song Than I, Song Than II, Dong An, Viet Huong II Industrial Parks, Tan Thanh Industrial Cluster, etc. Monitoring results show that the number of waste sources regularly treating wastewater meeting environmental standards in 2015 was about 70% and currently reaches over 96%.

In the coming time, the Natural Resources and Environment branch will install more automatic environmental monitoring stations for air, underground water, and surface water. Thus, strengthening the capacity to monitor environmental components will ensure full monitoring of environmental components and predict environmental quality in the province in the coming time.

The branch will also promote the construction of applications to connect with existing software to synchronize the environmental database in general and data from the automatic monitoring system in particular, connect and interconnect with the databases of ministries, branches, and localities, ensuring that data is connected and complete. Particularly, sharing monitoring data from the automatic wastewater, exhaust gas and environmental components monitoring system to the province's Intelligent Operation Center (IOC) and sharing with the community via mobile phone app and electronic display boards to improve openness, transparency, and people's supervision.

The branch will proactively notify and warn waste source owners of signs of wastewater exceeding standards for timely remediation, inspect and strictly manageswaste source owners who do not remediate and let wastewater exceed standards into the environment.
