Voters of Quynh Luu district propose repairing the sea dike system

Reply:

The Long - Thuan sea dike is 2,189m long, with a dike crest elevation of +2.7m to +4.0m, with the task of protecting 5,600 households (28,500 people) and 1,030 hectares of land from being flooded when high tides meet level 10 storms.

The dike line was invested in construction in Decision No. 3522/QD.UBND-NN dated September 26, 2006 of the People's Committee of Nghe An province on approving the investment project "Construction of sea dykes in Quynh Long, Quynh Thuan, Son Hai and Quynh Tho, Quynh Luu district".

Up to now, the project has been put into use and has been effective. However, the project is designed according to standards that allow it to withstand a 5% frequency of high tides when encountering a level 10 storm, so when encountering a storm above level 10, the dike can be overrun by waves.

Therefore, investing in upgrading the Long - Thuan sea dike, Quynh Luu district is very necessary.

The Department of Agriculture and Rural Development proposed that the Provincial People's Committee consider the policy of surveying and assessing the current status of dikes and propose to include it in the investment plan./.
