Thưa
quí vị,
Formosa
Hà Tĩnh gốc Đài
Loan đã vi phạm hơn 50 nguyên tắc điều hành tại Formosa Hà Tĩnh
Thêm
vào đó là họ đã xử dụng những vật liệu “Bẩn” bị cấm trong qúa trình sản
xuất thép và thiếu hẳn một cái Hồ có đập để chứa nước thải !
Từ đó dẫn đến tai
họa hồi tháng Tư 2016 làm
hàng triệu con cá phơi mình trên biển cả, anh hưởng trực tiếp đến gần 300 gia
đình ngư dân và các
ngành nghề liên hệ về cá và Biển nhiễm độc, ảnh hưởng đến hàng ngàn người thất
nghiệp!
Cho
đến giờ này, Formosa cũng như chinh quyền csVN chưa có động thái nào để làm
sạch qu’a trình sản xuất của Formosa, và dọn dẹp, tẩy độc hơn 200 Km bờ biển
hầu trả lại nguyên trạng sinh
thái tươi đẹp từ bao đời !
Người
dân miền Trung đã luôn phải chống đỡ thiên nhiên cuồng nộ , thiên tai bão lụt, nay phải gánh
them cái nhân họa do csVN gây ra thì làm sao sống nổi ! Trong khi đó tà quyền
csVN chỉ biết ngậm miệng ăn tiền !

HONG
KONG/TAIPEI, Nov 14 (Reuters) - More than 50 violations at a steel mill run by
Taiwan's Formosa Plastics Group, including the unauthorised use of a dirtier
production process, led to Vietnam's worst environmental disaster, according to
an internal government report.
The
July report, reviewed by Reuters, is the first official document to emerge publicly
since the April accident, when a toxic leak sullied over 200 km (125 miles) of
coastline, killed more than 100 tonnes of fish and left thousands jobless.
After
months of popular outrage against both the Hanoi government and one of the
communist state's largest investors, Formosa agreed in June to pay $500 million
in compensation.
The
report, signed by Vietnam's environment minister and written after consultation
with an unidentified panel of international experts, said Formosa did not keep
to production plans agreed in original environmental assessments made for the
$10.6 billion project.
Begun
in 2008, the plant was still ramping up at the time of the spill and working at
less than 25 percent of total capacity, according to a Formosa Ha Tinh Steel official.
But
it was not using the processing system agreed with Hanoi authorities, the
report said.
Formosa
was using 'wet' coking - a system which uses water for cooling and is
considered more polluting, as it generates more emissions and wastewater containing
compounds including cyanide.
The
alternative 'dry' process, widely used in modern plants, is costlier and does
not use water. That proved critical when a power cut disabled the plant's waste
processing equipment, spilling contaminated water into the sea, according to
the report.
Formosa
officials agreed it was using the dirtier process but said it had until 2019 to
switch to cleaner methods.
"We
are following their instructions and trying our very best to do what is
required," Formosa Ha Tinh Steel (FHS) executive vice president Chang
Fu-ning told Reuters.
Vietnam's
Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment
did not respond to written questions and requests for comment on the report or
the plant.
Chang
said Formosa had rectified 45 of 53 violations cited since the July report.
Seven more will be fixed by the end of the month he said, without giving
details.
The
plant was now scheduled to begin full commercial production in the first
quarter of 2017, subject to approvals, Chang added.
RESTARTING?
Thousands
of people from the affected regions have criticised the government for its
handling of the disaster and the payment of compensation, and accused the
police of heavy-handed measures to break up demonstrations sparked by the spill.
In
a rare criticism from an active parliamentarian, Tran Cong Thuat, Deputy
Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee of Quang Binh, one of four affected
provinces, said this month that everything would be need to be
"clear" before FHS scaled up.
"No
one (from the government) has ever stepped up to take responsibility over the
illegal discharge by Formosa," he said in televised comments. "If the
issue is not made clear and violations are not resolved, we must resolutely not
let Formosa operate."
Formosa
has plans to expand the steel plant to become the biggest of its kind in
Southeast Asia, including a deepwater port and 1,500-megawatt thermal power
complex.
Vietnamese
Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has threatened to close down the Formosa plant
if there is a repeat.
The
report said Formosa's failures included omitting a planned water storage dam, a
measure which according to experts could have kept tainted water out of the sea
even during a power outage.
FHS's
Chang said the company had committed to build a facility to gather and hold
waste water.
Friedhelm
Schroeder, an academic who was among a group of foreign experts invited by the
Vietnam government to assess the damage, said experts had identified other
failings.
"What
the company should have done was shut off all the production of coke, so the
toxic substance would not reach the sewage plant," said Schroeder, from
the Institute Coastal Research in Germany.
An
FHS official declined to comment on that aspect and the report by the foreign
experts has not been made public.
The
lack of information released about the accident has galvanised many Vietnamese
and mobilised demonstrators on a scale not seen before in the controlled,
one-party state that tolerates little dissent.
Anger
and mistrust mounted after the government initially said the mass fish deaths
could be the result of "red tide", when algae blooms and produces
toxins, or a release of toxic chemicals by humans, but there was nothing
linking FHS to it.
"We
see there is some cover up for Formosa, which is completely opposite from
governments in other countries," said Bishop Nguyen Thai Hop, the head of
the Catholic community in several provinces which have been fighting to protect
the environment.
"Until
now Formosa and the government haven't used any advanced technology to clean up
the Vietnamese sea, and haven't been able to say when the central region's sea
will be clean as before."
A
state television broadcast last week highlighted how the government was
reimbursing seafood businesses and promoting tourism in areas affected by the
spill.
The
Labor Ministry estimates some 263,000 workers have been impacted by the Formosa
incident, including nearly 40,000 workers in the four provinces directly
affected. (Writing by Clara Ferreira Marques; Editing by Lincoln Feast)
