Five city factories fined for pollution

14 May 2012 | 02:40:00 PM

(VietNamNet Bridge)-The HCM City Environmental Crime Prevention and Fighting Police Department on Thursday discovered five factories in District 12 discharging untreated wastewater and emissions into the environment.

 

 Anh Nhat Fashion Co. Ltd. and Phu Loc Fabric Private Enterprise, two of the five, have previously been fined in the past for the same violation but failed to clean up their act.

Anh Nhat discharged wastewater into the Tham Luong Canal while its emissions exceeded permitted levels.

The company, which has been in operation since December 2008, does not have wastewater and emission treatment systems.
In October 2011 it was fined nearly VND78 million (US$3,800).

Phu Loc discharged around 60 cubic metres of wastewater from its dying unit every day into a reservoir and on to pipes that carried it into the Tham Luong Canal.

Its wastewater treatment system is out of order while the emissions treatment system fell below regulated standards.

In June 2010 the company was fined for polluting the environment.

The three others found causing pollution were the Minh Phung Co. Ltd., Vu Van Tuan Private Enterprise, and a dying facility called Nguyen Quoc Huy.
