Domestic wastewater generated from the shopping center (average flow rate of approximately 130 m3/day) is collected, pre-treated, and channeled to the centralized wastewater treatment system of the residential project, owned by the Real Estate Investment Company Limited, for treatment before being discharged into the receiving water source (the Real Estate Investment Company Limited has been granted an environmental permit, which includes measures for treating wastewater from the shopping center). Solid household waste is approximately 1.5 tons/day; ordinary industrial solid waste is approximately 5 tons/year; and hazardous waste is a maximum of 436 kg/year. Mr. Tai asks whether the shopping center is currently subject to environmental permit procedures or environmental registration according to regulations? The Ministry of Agriculture and Environment responds to this issue as follows: The information you provided is insufficient to determine which entities are required to undergo environmental procedures as stipulated. We suggest you review Article 39 of the Law on Environmental Protection, Clause 2 of Article 71 and Clause 5 of Article 74 of Decree No. 08/2022/ND-CP (amended and supplemented by Decree No. 05/2025/ND-CP), and Clause 1 of Article 26 of Decree No. 131/2025/ND-CP to determine which entities require environmental permits; and Article 49 of the Law on Environmental Protection to determine which entities require environmental registration.
