Resolutely resolve land and material mine issues, and speed up the progress of the expressway through Quang Ngai

Will forcibly reclaim land

According to the Prime Minister's direction, compensation and site clearance for the Quang Ngai-Hoai Nhon Expressway must be completed before April 30. However, there are still many backlogs along the main route. The biggest bottlenecks are in Nghia Hanh and Tu Nghia districts, especially the area connecting the Da Nang-Quang Ngai Expressway to Nghia Ky commune.

On the main route of the project, there are still many houses of people who have not been relocated.

In fact, in the section from km0 to km1, houses are still close together, people still live normally and there are not many signs that this area is the main route of the national key project under construction. The few people who agreed to hand over the site are in the process of demolishing their houses.

According to the assessment of Quang Ngai province, compensation and site clearance work for the expressway through Tu Nghia district is not guaranteed.

Chairman of Tu Nghia District People's Committee Nguyen Dang Vinh said that it was because the people had not agreed with the compensation level. Specifically, the whole district still had 38 households that had not agreed (7 households built houses on agricultural land and had no other residential land). Because the legal basis was unclear and there was not enough basis to consider and resolve according to regulations, the district had to persistently mobilize to find a common voice to resolve the issue step by step.

"The locality will persistently mobilize and focus on resolving these cases in the spirit of solving them wherever they are difficult. In cases where the highest compensation regulations have been applied but people do not comply, construction protection will be carried out," said Mr. Vinh.

As of April 30, the area cleared by Quang Ngai province was 489/494 hectares, reaching 99% of the total planned area. Currently, there are 59 households/4.94 hectares that have not yet handed over the main route.

Director of Project Management Board 2 Le Thang said that the construction progress of the project through Quang Ngai has reached about 22%, behind schedule. The reason is due to land acquisition problems and limited material resources. As for land acquisition, the remaining percentage is very small, but the problem areas are widespread with 44 areas of trees and houses and 33 areas of infrastructure that have not been relocated.

Director of Project Management Board 2 Le Thang proposed that Quang Ngai province soon remove difficulties in site clearance, especially the location of the critical point to ensure site clearance for the contractor to construct.

"Many of the bottlenecks are at critical points such as bridges and culverts, which need to be resolved soon. Contractors are taking advantage of favorable weather to speed up construction, but with this level of construction, it is difficult to increase output. The rainy season will make it even more difficult, while there is not much time left to complete the project. I hope Quang Ngai province will focus on resolving the site as directed by the Prime Minister," Mr. Thang suggested.

At the meeting with relevant parties to discuss solutions to remove obstacles regarding land clearance on May 7, Vice Chairman of Quang Ngai Provincial People's Committee Tran Phuoc Hien requested relevant agencies and units to clarify the causes and propose solutions for implementation.

The entire route has 1% of the area yet to be completed, and localities must review each case and resolve it satisfactorily according to the provisions of law. All problems must be reported specifically and promptly so that the Provincial People's Committee can direct and resolve them in accordance with the central government's direction. If people continue to disagree, enforcement and land recovery will be carried out.

"Before enforcing, hold a meeting with the people and invite the media to widely disseminate information to create consensus and high unity. More than anyone else, relevant agencies must uphold their spirit and responsibility, closely coordinate and start handling each task. Focus on the bottlenecks that affect the progress critical path," Mr. Hien noted.

End the material mine problem in May

Regarding the material mines, the contractor representative said that up to now, Quang Ngai province has only licensed the exploitation of 7/10 soil mines, but in reality, there are only 4 mines in operation: Me Son, Nui Thi 1, Nui Thi 2 and Doi Doc Cao with a total reserve of about 2.93 million m3.

Vice Chairman of Quang Ngai Provincial People's Committee Tran Phuoc Hien requested to enforce land acquisition for the main route.

For the 3 unexploited soil mines of Truong Oi, Bren and Doi Doc Co with a total reserve of about 2.39 million m3. Thus, to meet the source of earth filling materials for the project, it is necessary to add about 2.2 million m3.

Meanwhile, Truong Oi mine with a surveyed reserve of about 1 million m3 located in Nghia Ky commune, for more than a year the contractor has not been able to open the mine because they have not reached an agreement with the people on compensation and support for site clearance, so it has not been exploited.

Currently, the contractor has added the Van Xuan Village (Nghia Hanh) soil mine with a reserve of about 530 thousand m3, which has passed the reserve approval and environmental impact assessment report. In addition, 5 new soil mines with a reserve of about 2.4 million m3 have been added, including: Nui Thi 4, Nui Cam Ong Thi, Nui Da Ke, Nui Be and reclaimed soil at An Son Industrial Park to serve the construction of the XL1 package.

Meanwhile, the total sand demand for the project is 1.3 million m3. Up to now, Quang Ngai province has only licensed the exploitation of 3/5 sand mines and is currently short of about 400,000 m3.

The representative of Project Management Board 2 said that the contractors who were granted mineral mines reported many difficulties, especially compensation for trees and crops on the land and agreement on transportation routes from the mine to the construction site.

Mining licensing procedures are still lengthy, affecting mining operations. Land acquisition and clearance contracts with local professional units are still facing difficulties because these units are overloaded with work.

"To ensure the source of construction materials for the project, the Board will direct the contractor to coordinate with relevant agencies of Quang Ngai to remove obstacles regarding material mines. However, during the implementation process, we hope that Quang Ngai province will support the material mines to be put into operation soon to serve the construction of the roadbed well, especially the first section of the route," said a representative of Board 2.

Quang Ngai province said it will completely handle the existing problems to put the material mines provided to contractors into operation in May.

Vice Chairman of Quang Ngai Provincial People's Committee Tran Phuoc Hien affirmed: Quang Ngai does not lack expensive land for project construction, the problem here is that many stages, many locations from contractors, investors to provincial agencies are not closely monitored, do not have determination leading to "blockage".

The province will direct specialized agencies such as the Department of Natural Resources and Environment, Construction, and localities to take action. In particular, it will focus on guiding contractors to develop crop support plans during the mining period for approval and implementation to ensure materials for project construction.

"For licensed mines, contractors are requested to coordinate with local authorities to resolve problems and put the mines into operation. This May, the province will license all remaining soil and sand mines so that contractors can start exploiting them to serve the project's construction," said Mr. Hien.
