The US Government has agreed on a US$1.69 million environmental remediation project to support Vietnam in addressing Agent Orange/dioxin contamination at Da Nang Airport.
The US Embassy’s press release on October 1 said that the “Environmental Remediation at Da Nang Airport : Assessments and Engineering Plans and Design” project will be carried out by the CDM International within a year.
Under the project, the Vietnamese Government and the US Agency for International Development (USAID) will jointly conduct an environmental impact assessment and develop engineering designs, specifications, and plans. A detailed implementation approach will also be worked out.
The project’s outcome will inform subsequent efforts to construct a secure landfill and remove contaminated soil and sediment from hotspot areas and contain them in the landfill.
The US Government has committed more than two-thirds of the US$6 million of Congressional funding it has received for AO/dioxin environmental remediation and health activities.
