Đồng Tháp Enhances Environmental Regulations in Industrial Zones

The People's Committee of Đồng Tháp has issued a directive to enhance environmental management in industrial zones by categorizing clusters for targeted wastewater treatment upgrades. Efforts will focus on ensuring that clusters with existing treatment systems connect to shared infrastructure while monitoring those exceeding treatment capacities for necessary upgrades.

Clusters such as Trung An and Bình Thành, established before January 1, 2022, will undergo assessments for exemptions from centralized treatment requirements. Local authorities are tasked with expediting construction timelines for wastewater systems in clusters like Trường Xuân, with plans to include these in the 2026-30 public investment framework. The provincial Economic Zone Authority will enforce compliance across all zones to ensure environmental standards are met and maintained.
