On September 6, the Department of Natural Resources and Environment of Nha Trang City reported the results of the inspection and the status of oil clumps drifting onto the city's beaches.
According to a report on September 1, the Patrol and Rescue Team of the Nha Trang Bay Management Board discovered clumps of oil washed up by waves on the sandy beach near 2/4 Square and the beach opposite Nha Trang Four Seasons Restaurant.
That same afternoon, clumps of oil were found washed up on the sand near the Sailing Club restaurant.
After that, Nha Trang Bay Management Board directed the Patrol and Rescue Team to coordinate with the staff of Nha Trang Urban Environment Joint Stock Company to clean up. The estimated amount of waste suspected to be clumpy waste oil that was collected mixed with sand was recorded at about 20kg.
According to the Department of Natural Resources and Environment of Nha Trang City, waste suspected to be clumped waste oil appeared on sandy beaches and coastal waters with unknown source and cause.
Meanwhile, according to Nha Trang Bay Management Board, initial results show that the emission source does not belong to Nha Trang Bay.
Because the waste is suspected to be lumpy waste oil (hazardous waste), it is not treated and buried at Luong Hoa Landfill for temporary storage (no burial).
