The Sonadezi Long Thanh Co in Dong Nai has completed cleaning up pollution along Ba Cheo Canal, according to Le Viet Hung, Director of the province's Natural Resources and Environment Department.
Untreated waste water discharged into the canal by Sonadezi Long Thanh caused damage to local farms.
The company has pledged it will compensate local farmers as soon as a scientific impact assessment of the damage is carried out by relevant authorities. "However, it takes time to define specific damage to local aquaculture and fruit farming," said Hung.
A report on the compensation is expected to be available by the end of the second quarter of this year.
Sonadezi Long Thanh's chief executive officer Nguyen Van Tuan said the company has improved its waste water treatment system and these upgrades have been checked by relevant authorities.
The company has also set up automatic observation stations to measure the volume of waste discharges and pollution indicators, said Tuan.
He said Sonadezi would take responsibility for compensating farmers for damages according to the law.
