Previously, in the investment policy approval decision No. 2034/QD-UBND dated July 28, 2020 of the People's Committee of Quang Tri province, the project progress was determined to start construction in the first quarter of 2021; complete acceptance of the project, and put the project into operation in the first quarter of 2023. However, the project was behind schedule and not completed on time.

According to the explanation of Sam Cam Investment Joint Stock Company, the reason for the project's delay is due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak; compensation and site clearance work encountered many difficulties because the enterprise had to carry out the project in the form of receiving land use rights transfer and buying back assets on land from households to implement the project.

In addition, the project must take the additional step of preparing a dossier to request approval of the project implementation policy through the form of receiving land use rights transfer, receiving capital contributions, leasing agricultural land use rights and converting the purpose of use to non-agricultural land according to regulations. As well as difficulties and obstacles in conducting reviews and inspections of the project boundary overlap with the scope of the 2 dredging projects of Ai Tu reservoir, the reservoir border...

Based on the investor's request for consideration of the extension of the progress, the Department of Natural Resources and Environment of Quang Tri province stated that, currently, Sam Cam Investment Joint Stock Company has not yet prepared a dossier to change the land use purpose or lease land to implement the project. Therefore, the Company must urgently prepare a land lease dossier and send it to the Department of Natural Resources and Environment for appraisal and submit it to the Provincial People's Committee for land lease in accordance with regulations.

In terms of environment, the project aims to provide hotel, resort and culinary services, with an area of ​​70 hectares including production forest land, perennial trees, cemetery land and traffic land, with a total investment of 377 billion VND. This is a group B project with construction components classified according to the criteria prescribed by law on public investment and construction. Based on relevant provisions in the Law on Environmental Protection 2020, the project is subject to environmental licensing procedures, and the licensing is carried out by the Provincial People's Committee.

“The project must have an environmental license before the competent state agency issues documents of appraisal, approval of the feasibility study report, investment decision, and issuance of construction license,” emphasized the Department of Natural Resources and Environment of Quang Tri.

As for the People's Committee of Trieu Phong district, the locality requested the investor to focus resources, be determined to implement, speed up progress, and proactively work with the locality to overcome difficulties in order to soon put the project into operation to ensure the committed schedule after the project schedule is adjusted.

According to the People's Committee of Trieu Phong district, the Ai Tu Lake tourist area at a scale of 1/500 was approved by the People's Committee of Trieu Phong district in Decision No. 537/QD-UBND dated May 15, 2008. Therefore, investors need to review and inspect the project. If there is any difference from the approved detailed planning, they need to carry out the planning adjustment procedure before implementing the project; or adjust the project to ensure compliance with the approved detailed planning.

According to the Department of Planning and Investment of Quang Tri, after reviewing the cases affecting the proposal to extend the project implementation progress; related legal regulations; appraisal results of local departments, branches and sectors, the Department of Planning and Investment of Quang Tri province has proposed the Provincial People's Committee to approve the adjustment of the investment policy and at the same time approve the investor for the project according to the enterprise's proposal.
