Additional documentation required for Ka Pet Water Reservoir project
The People’s Committee of Binh Thuan Province has announced that the environmental impact assessment report for the Ka Pet Water Reservoir project must supplement additional documentation that includes the dam breach contingency plan and a biodiversity assessment. This is necessary due to the project’s impact on the forest within the conservation area. In comparison to the plan presented to the National Assembly in the previous session, the reforestation timeline has been advanced by one year, ensuring that it will be completed concurrently with the Ka Pet Water Reservoir project.
The project encompasses a total land area of 697.73 hectares with a comprehensive investment of VND874.1 billion. Funding includes nearly VND520 billion from the Central government’s budget and over VND354 billion from the local budget. The project is slated for implementation from 2019 to 2025. At present, the forest’s current status inventory and assessment have been successfully concluded and ratified by the relevant departments and agencies within Binh Thuan Province.
