Que Phong district's waste treatment facility becomes a playground for children
(Baonghean.vn) - Since mid-March this year, Que Phong district has held a handover ceremony and put into use phase 1 of the waste treatment project. However, up to now, the project has not been put into operation, but has become a playground for children in the area.
Present at the district waste treatment areaQue PhongIn the past few days of September, many children in the area have been seen playing here without any security guards. Under the garbage pits, weeds and grass grow quite a lot. On the concrete roads around the garbage pits, cracks occasionally appear.
Local people are wondering,waste treatmentcompleted but not yet put into use, if children continue to play and people continue to graze buffaloes and cows... the project will be damaged, especially the tarpaulin covering the garbage pit is easily torn. People hope that the local government will soon put it into operation to end the situation of household waste piling up at places in residential areas, especially Kim Son town.
It is known that the waste treatment area of Que Phong district has an area of more than 20 thousand m2Located in Bon village, Kim Son town. The project has a total investment of over 56 billion VND, with the People's Committee of Que Phong district as the investor. Currently, the People's Committee of Que Phong district has invested in and completed phase 1, with a total investment of over 35 billion VND.
The waste treatment site is divided into 2 phases, phase 1 includes: Leveling items, internal dike and landfill. Phase 2 includes: Traffic system, rainwater drainage system, management and auxiliary works, domestic water supply system, green fence and environmental monitoring system, domestic electricity supply, weighing station, operator house...
The reason why the Que Phong district waste treatment project has not yet been put into operation, according to a representative of the Que Phong district Construction Investment Project Management Board, is that because phase 2 has not been completed, the Department of Natural Resources and Environment has not yet agreed to put it into use. Therefore, the district People's Committee continues to request funding to build the remaining essential items of phase 2. In addition, there are 2 households in the area that must be relocated, but there is no compensation for site clearance.
Kim Son town currently has more than 2,300 households, with more than 100m weekly.3waste into the environment. Due to the lack of a separate treatment area, waste is dumped next to the town cemetery, affecting spirituality and the environment. In addition, other localities such as Tien Phong, Muong Noc, Chau Kim... have a large amount of domestic waste every day, which has not been properly treated for a long time.
The Que Phong district waste treatment project was approved in 2011 and construction started in 2013, but due to lack of funding and problems in the technology conversion process, it was not until 2021 that the project continued to allocate investment capital to build phase 1 items.
