For the dredging project of Dong Hai fishing port (Phan Rang - Thap Cham city), with an area of 77.26ha, a total volume of 1,471,940m3, construction has not yet been implemented because the environmental impact assessment report has not been appraised and approved; The Ninh Chu (Ninh Hai) channel dredging, anchorage and storm shelter project has an area of 65.54 hectares and a volume of 1,039,396 m3. It is currently implementing legal procedures for organizing investor selection.

After listening to the progress report as well as the difficulties and obstacles in the implementation of dredging projects, the Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee requested the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development to preside over and coordinate with relevant sectors and localities to organize a review and close assessment of reserves to serve as a basis for calling on enterprises to participate in accelerating the dredging progress; promptly appraise and approve the environmental impact assessment report after receiving comments from the Vietnam Maritime Administration. Urgently advise on approving the adjustment of the implementation time of the dredging project of Ca Na and Ninh Chu ports to have a basis for implementing the next work.

* On the same day, comrade Trinh Minh Hoang, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee chaired a meeting to listen to proposals for water supply solutions for the project area to build infrastructure to serve concentrated safe vegetable production in An Hai commune and propose water supply for Tien Tien Organic Agricultural Farm (Ninh Phuoc).

According to the design, the infrastructure construction component project serving the concentrated safe vegetable production area of An Hai commune is responsible for pumping water to irrigate 300 hectares, including green asparagus, carrots, peanuts, green onions, tomatoes, etc. Currently, Ninh Phuoc Irrigation Station is operating 4 pumps, with an irrigation flow rate of 4 days/week, pumping time of 4 hours and 30 minutes per day. Based on the proposal of Tien Tien Organic Farm on the policy of connecting to the main pipeline system to get water to irrigate the farm's crops, Ninh Phuoc District People's Committee is coordinating with the Irrigation Works Exploitation Company Limited to agree on a plan to increase the operating time of the pumping station, and develop a schedule to regulate water supply with the flow rate required by the farm.

Speaking at the meeting, the Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee requested Ninh Phuoc district to proactively coordinate with the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development and the Irrigation Works Exploitation Company Limited to establish a detailed plan for water supply and operation, ensuring irrigation water for the project area; at the same time, research appropriate irrigation technical solutions to avoid wasting water. Regarding the proposal of Tien Tien Organic Farm, it is necessary to urgently hire a consulting unit to conduct a survey, prepare a connection design dossier and send it to the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development for consideration, and report to the Provincial People's Committee for approval.
