At the meeting, a representative of the Ministry of Construction said that the Mekong Delta region is implementing 8 key transport projects. Of which, the two projects Cao Lanh - Lo Te, Lo Te - Rach Soi have only been renovated and upgraded; the remaining 6 projects have a total demand for sand materials to build the foundation of about 65.55 million m3. Up to now, localities have licensed and are eligible to exploit mines with a reserve of 54.1 million m3 (river sand, sea sand); are carrying out licensing procedures for 20.5 million m3; have not yet determined the source to be granted to projects according to the assigned target of 10.35 million m3.

At the meeting, leaders of relevant localities such as Tien Giang, Ho Chi Minh City, Dong Nai, An Giang, Dong Thap, Kien Giang, Hau Giang, Ben Tre reported to the Deputy Prime Minister on the progress of sand and stone supply for key transport projects in the Southern region. The common difficulties of localities are largely due to problems with procedures for granting mineral exploitation licenses, limited exploitation capacity of mines, some mines have reduced reserves, are temporarily suspended, contractors are slow to register...

Dong Thap province alone was assigned to supply 13.1 million m3 of sand for the projects: Can Tho - Ca Mau, Component Project 1 Cao Lanh - An Huu, My An - Cao Lanh. Currently, the province has granted a license, eligible for exploitation of 9.3/13.1 million m3 to supply Can Tho - Ca Mau projects, Component Project 1; Dong Thap province has also issued a confirmation to increase the exploitation reserves of the two mines of Thuong Thoi Tien and My Xuong.

However, in reality, the supply of sand is having some limitations. Notably, the contractor assigned to the mine has not fully assessed the quality of river sand in the introduced sand mine, which has caused many difficulties in the exploitation process to supply the project. On the other hand, the mining contractor has not complied with the design, and is slow to fulfill financial obligations... "For the My An - Cao Lanh Project, there is currently no contractor for construction. Therefore, the province has not had a basis to carry out the procedures to hand over the sand mine to the contractor, informed Mr. Tran Tri Quang - Acting Chairman of Dong Thap Provincial People's Committee.

Speaking at the meeting, Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha requested the Project Management Board and mining contractors to be honest, accurately compile the sand reserves at the mines, and be responsible for reviewing material sources in the localities, thereby making recommendations to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment on specific authority.

Contractors assigned to mines must comply with legal regulations, any contractors who violate, the locality must strictly handle and resolutely eliminate them. The Deputy Prime Minister especially noted that localities in the monitoring stage and implementation procedures must be strict and implement the committed contents, making the most of the special mechanisms for these projects.

The Deputy Prime Minister also noted that exploited resources must be used for approved works and projects. At the same time, it is recommended that localities work with the Vietnam Maritime and Waterway Administration (Ministry of Construction) to provide guidance on dredging seawater, ensuring the environment, security and safety; and request the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Construction to review the progress of capital coordination for project implementation before March 15.
