The sand mining area in My Yen village from the red line to the bank of Ngan Mo river, contributes to "straightening" the flow of Ngan Mo river, thereby improving the flood drainage capacity of Ke Go lake.
Accordingly, the sand mine in My Yen village, Cam My commune is a construction material mine approved by the Provincial People's Committee in Decision No. 431/QD-UBND dated February 6, 2014; and at the same time, it is integrated into the Ha Tinh Provincial Planning for the period 2021-2030, with a vision to 2050 according to Decision No. 1363/QD-TTg dated November 8, 2022 of the Prime Minister.
The My Yen village sand mine was also approved by the Provincial People's Committee to add the area for exploiting common construction materials to the area where mineral exploitation rights are not auctioned in Ha Tinh in Decision No. 1602/QD-UBND dated July 6, 2023.
The sand mine in My Yen village is demarcated at 3,479 hectares; it is the annual crop land of 86 households (nearly 1.7 hectares) and the land managed by the People's Committee of Cam My commune (more than 1.7 hectares). The expected sand mine reserves are nearly 90,000 m3 . The mining depth is equal to the current river bottom (cosd -0.1m).
Regarding the purpose of exploitation, the sand mine in My Yen village only serves the North-South expressway project. The exploitation method is only allowed to use excavators and transport vehicles, not sand suction method.
The sand mine will be exploited from 7am to 5pm, not at night. The exploitation period is about 10 months per year (from December 1 to September 30). From October 1 to November 30, all mining activities will be stopped according to regulations; at the same time, machinery and equipment used for mining in the mine area must be cleaned up and transported.
Regarding the roadmap and exploitation volume, in 2023, the locality plans to exploit about 11,490 m3 ; in 2024 about 68,940 m3 and in 2025 about 8,766 m3 . If the exploitation process reaches the required quantity, it may stop earlier than the proposed roadmap.
Regarding concerns about the impact and influence on the foot of Ke Go reservoir dam, in Document No. 1804/SNN-TL dated June 30, 2023, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Ha Tinh determined that the sand mine is 1.5 km downstream from the Ke Go reservoir spillway, outside the protection corridor of Doc Mieu spillway and Ke Go reservoir; in the vicinity of the sand mine, there are no other irrigation works or dike works. Regarding concerns about impacts on the foot of National Highway 8C, in Document No. 1476/SGTVT-KH2 dated June 30, 2023, the Department of Transport determined that the sand mining location is on the right bank of the Ngan Mo River, far from the foot of National Highway 8C and does not affect the corridor of National Highway 8C. Regarding concerns about landslides in cultivated land, during the survey, the specialized agency of the Department of Natural Resources and Environment has assessed and agreed on specific measures to prevent landslides such as exploiting according to the slope leveling plan, driving a system of bamboo piles 5-6 m deep, driving thickly along the exploitation route, and using gabions and concrete piles for reinforcement at weak points. At the same time, the document of the Provincial People's Committee affirmed that if the exploitation process shows signs of landslides or is unsafe, it is mandatory to stop construction until there are safety measures approved by competent authorities before continuing. |
At the press conference, representatives of central and local press agencies had many questions related to environmental impact assessment, determining the levels of impact on infrastructure works and people's livelihood when exploiting sand mines in My Yen village.
