3-meter thick waste layer could destroy Tuy Phong seabed
If state management agencies approve a plan to sink 1.5 million cubic meters of waste sludge into waters, the waste will destroy the entire biological and physical circle of a vast sea area. The Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment on February 21 evaluated a dossier related to the plan to sink 1.5 million cubic meters of waste into Tuy Phong sea area in Binh Thuan. The waste was generated from dredging carried out by the Vinh Tan 1 coal thermal plant. Some experts and representatives from agencies protested the solution, and others suggested changing the position for engulfment and asked for more detailed assessments about the possible impact of the huge volume of waste on the sea environment.
