Cải tạo, phục hồi môi trường trong hoạt động khoáng sản: Hiện trạng và giải pháp

Abstract

Environmental recovery and restoration after mineral exploitation involve returning the environment and ecosystems, such as soil, water, and natural landscapes, in mining areas to their original state. This process must meet environmental safety standards and regulations, serving purposes beneficial to humans. It is a mandatory responsibility for enterprises upon the completion of mineral exploitation, as stipulated by the 2010 Mineral Law and the 2020 Law on Environmental Protection. However, in recent times, many project owners have failed to undertake environmental recovery and restoration after exhausting mineral resources, neglecting their duty to hand over rehabilitated land to local authorities. Additionally, the funds deposited by businesses for environmental renovation and restoration are often insufficient for state management agencies to hire capable units to carry out the required work. To address these challenges, this study evaluates the status of environmental recovery and restoration in mineral activities and proposes solutions to enhance the effectiveness of these efforts.
