According to the joint venture of Ecotech Viet Nam Technology Investment and Trading Joint Stock Company and Le Delta Joint Stock Company, up to now, the project investor has prepared a feasibility study report and has basically completed the project, and an environmental impact report has been submitted to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment. The current problem is that the detailed 1/500 planning project drafted and approved by the People's Committee of Vinh Cuu district has not been completed, and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment has not approved the environmental impact assessment report.

Therefore, investors recommend that the province direct Vinh Cuu district and related units to pay attention to early implementation of the preparation, submission, appraisal and approval of detailed planning project documents at the 1/500 scale of the project. The investor consortium will continue to coordinate with authorities in the process of preparing, submitting and explaining project-related documents.
