Minister Hong Ha: 'We must raise healthy fish in Formosa wastewater treatment tanks'

Leaders of the Ministry of Natural Resources required the biological tank treating Formosa Ha Tinh's wastewater to be able to raise healthy fish, and at the same time directed to check the capacity of companies that receive waste treatment for Formosa.

On the morning of September 8, Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Tran Hong Ha and leaders of Ha Tinh province inspected the waste treatment process and reviewed the environmental protection commitment of Formosa Ha Tinh Steel Corporation.

Minister Tran Hong Ha requested the Formosa Ha Tinh monitoring team to closely monitor the discharge of waste from this company, ensuring that waste is treated in biological tanks before being discharged into the sea, in which healthy fish are raised.

The working group focused on inspecting the construction and installation of Formosa's items, and emphasized to the Company's leaders the need to ensure the coking technology process (from wet to dry) to ensure environmental quality.

Inspecting Formosa's waste collection site, the leader of the Ministry of Natural Resources stated that this stage must be considered "carefully", and the capacity of any company undertaking waste treatment for Formosa must be checked to ensure "correct procedures and responsibilities".

Currently, Formosa's waste treatment plant collects about 1.5 tons of biochemical sludge every day.
