Sell ​​Formosa's waste to people for cooking

Not only was it discovered that Formosa illegally received and buried hundreds of tons of waste, causing public outrage, but before that, Ky Anh Urban Environment Management Construction Consulting Joint Stock Company also sold the waste that Formosa hired to transport to local people to make a profit.

Specifically, on May 15, 2015, according to a previously signed contract with a subcontractor of Formosa, MCC5 Company, Ky Anh Urban Environment Management Construction Consulting Joint Stock Company transported a batch of waste, which was planks, weighing more than 4 tons. The contract clearly stated that all waste at the Formosa construction site must be transported by Ky Anh Urban Environment Management Construction Consulting Joint Stock Company to a collection site licensed by Vietnamese authorities for treatment.

However, immediately after receiving the above waste batch and leaving the Formosa construction site, Mr. Le Quang Hoa, the company director, directed the company's employees to divide the above waste batch into 2 batches and sell them to the people. The first batch weighed 1.9 tons and was successfully sold by KA Environmental Company to Mr. Nguyen Xuan Thanh's household in Ky Phuong ward, Ky Anh town. The second batch weighed 2.1 tons and was sold by Ky Anh Urban Environmental Management Construction Consulting Joint Stock Company to another household in Ky Thinh ward.

Upon receiving the report of the above incident, the environmental safety department of Formosa Ha Tinh Company began investigating and verifying. Following the information provided, Formosa's environmental safety department found the batch of waste that Mr. Hoa had instructed his employees to break the contract to sell to the people.

When invited to work by Formosa, Mr. Hoa initially made excuses, however, faced with the evidence provided by Formosa, this director had to admit his wrongdoings. However, in the minutes of the meeting between the two parties afterwards, this "daring" director made excuses that, because he was sorry for the waste that could still be used, he had his employees sell it to people... for cooking.

Mr. Le Quang Hoa's company was once punished by Formosa after selling waste that should have been treated to people for cooking.

Mr. Le Quang Hoa's company was once punished by Formosa after selling waste that should have been treated to people for cooking.

Formosa immediately forced Mr. Hoa to collect all the above waste, and at the same time issued a series of "punishments" to this company, including fines for violating the contract, banning the driver and the vehicle that transported the above waste from entering the Formosa construction site. In addition, Formosa also forced Mr. Hoa's company to ensure that all waste transport vehicles must have photos proving that they dumped waste in the right place.

However, once again, Mr. Hoa ignored it, causing the illegal burial of more than 100 tons of mud cakes that was caught red-handed by the press and authorities, causing a stir in recent days.

In recent days, reporters have continued to verify the violations of the Director of Ky Anh Urban Environmental Management Construction Consulting Joint Stock Company in illegally receiving and burying Formosa waste on his family's farm. In many responses to the press and authorities, Mr. Hoa repeatedly said that he had transferred this land to his brother, Le Van Hanh. However, local authorities said that this transfer was not certified by the government.

The farm where Mr. Hoa buried Formosa's waste cake sludge currently has no legal documents.

Mr. Tran Anh Dan, Chairman of the People's Committee of Ky Trinh Ward, Ky Anh Town, confirmed that Mr. Hoa's waste landfill farm does not have legal documents. According to Mr. Dan, this land was previously reclaimed by the people, then a person named Tuan sold it to Mr. Le Quang Hoa. The fact that Mr. Hoa said he transferred this farm to his brother without going through the local government means that legally, the state has not yet transferred or recognized it.

Currently, while waiting for the results of sludge sample analysis from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, the People's Committee of Ha Tinh province has requested the authorities to maintain the status quo of the waste burial area to continue investigating and clarifying the violations of both Formosa and Ky Anh Urban Environmental Management Construction Consulting Joint Stock Company.
