The Vietnam Environmental Protection Administration (VEPA) said on March 4 that it will conduct a crackdown on hot spots of environmental pollution nationwide, especially enterprises located along big rivers, including Dong Nai, Cau, Nhue and Day rivers.
According to the VEPA, enterprises which are not located in export processing and industrial zones must ensure that their waste water discharged directly to canals meet the A-level standard.
