In which, the project implementation progress is stipulated as follows: “Complete procedures for land allocation and lease: 12 months from the effective date of the decision; Complete the project and put it into operation within 9-18 months from the date of land handover in the field (before March 2021).
However, up to now, the investor has not yet implemented the site clearance compensation and subsequent investment procedures to be allocated/leased land. Although the District People's Committee has urged and invited the investor to work many times because this is a project behind schedule according to regulations.
For the above reasons, on August 4, 2022, the People's Committee of Quynh Luu district issued Document No. 1685/UBND.TCKH to the Provincial People's Committee and the Department of Planning and Investment on "Proposal to withdraw the Investment ProjectT-Tech Waste Treatment PlantNgoc Son commune, Quynh Luu”.

In addition to the slow project implementation, the investor and the People's Committee of Quynh Luu district have not found a common voice and have not agreed on a number of regulations. Specifically, the investor applies a unit price for domestic waste treatment services of no less than 410,000 VND/ton; requires the volume of waste collected for the factory to reach the project capacity (about 150 tons/day).
Meanwhile, for the application for collecting waste treatment fees, currently, the collection level for the collection, transportation and treatment of waste in the area and district is being implemented according to Decision No. 19/2019/QD-UBND dated May 28, 2019 of the People's Committee of Nghe An province on "Regulations on maximum prices for collection, transportation and treatment of domestic waste in Nghe An province"; the average price of all types is over 300,000 VND/ton. Through calculations, the revenue from people and the annual budget of the locality are facing many difficulties and are not enough to pay for the "Waste treatment price of not less than 410,000 VND/ton" as proposed by the investor.
Regarding the investor's request for the amount of garbage collected for the factory to reach the project capacity (about 150 tons/day), Mr. Nguyen Xuan Dinh - Vice Chairman of Quynh Luu District People's Committee added: The investor's request for garbage collection to reach 150 tons/day is not feasible, because the amount of garbage generated in Quynh Luu District is only 100 tons/day. Not to mention that the district has long been directing people to classify garbage before disposal to minimize the volume and reduce waste treatment costs.
