The delegation inspected 3 households including Mr. Tran Van Cong, Mr. Tran Van Hung, Mr. Tran Van Chinh and some other households, but there was no basis for the factory's operation causing vibrations that cracked the walls. Mr. Vi Van Man's household, in particular, has a house located in the industrial park planning area and locations close to the factory. When the factory operates, it will have an environmental impact on the family's life and activities.

After inspecting the actual situation at the factory and surveying the local households, the delegation worked with the company's representatives. The conclusion of the inspection delegation affirmed that the noise and residents' complaints were well-founded.
In the immediate future, the delegation requested Trung Hai Mineral and Trading Joint Stock Company to strictly implement regulations on environmental protection in the factory area, promptly complete the installation of a noise protection system in accordance with regulations. The company should promptly resolve the relocation and resettlement to ensure the living conditions of Mr. Vi Van Man's family. The People's Committee of Chau Quang commune should strengthen supervision and inspection of the company's operations, grasp information reflecting people's opinions, and propagate and mobilize people to coordinate with the authorities to resolve problems to ensure security and order in the area. Quy Hop district will issue a document requesting relevant provincial departments, branches and sectors to conduct measurements and monitoring of noise, vibration, dust, etc. when the factory is operating to have more specific solutions./.
