- Parameters and frequency follow GPMT. Monitoring parameters are based on standards, type of production, raw materials, production technology, and waste treatment technology.
- Monitoring frequency: every 3 months (projects, facilities preparing environmental impact assessment reports) and every 6 months for the remaining cases.
Automatic and continuous wastewater monitoring
Deadline for completing the installation of an automatic, continuous wastewater monitoring system (with surveillance cameras and automatic sampling equipment) and connecting and transmitting data directly to specialized agencies on the environmental protection Provincial level no later than December 31, 2024 for projects, establishments, concentrated production, business, service areas, industrial clusters with the level of wastewater discharge into the environment specified in Column 4 of Appendix Appendix XXVIII issued together with this Decree.
From January 1, 2025, investment projects with the level of wastewater discharge into the environment specified in Column 4, Appendix XXVIII issued with this Decree must install an automatic wastewater monitoring system. prior to trial operation of the waste treatment facility.
For projects and facilities discharging cooling water that use chlorine or disinfectant chemicals to kill microorganisms into the environment with a flow of 1,000 m3/day (24 hours) or more, the project or facility owner must install these Automatic, continuous monitoring parameters include: flow, temperature and chlorine for that cooling water source;
The owner of the project, facility, concentrated production, business, service area, or industrial cluster shall send a written notification according to the form issued by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment to the agency that has issued the environmental permit; In case the environmental permit is issued by a central agency (except in cases of national defense and security secrets), it must also be sent to the provincial environmental protection agency to monitor and supervise the implementation process. presently.
