Đài Loan đã vi phạm hơn 50 nguyên tắc điều hành tại Formosa Hà Tĩnh

Cho đến giờ
này, Formosa cũng như chinh quyền csVN chưa có động thái nào để làm sạch qu’a

nguyên trạng sinh thái tươi

Người dân miền

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)
