Quang Ninh Province, the biggest producer of coal in Vietnam, is proposing that waste rock discarded in exploitation be used as material for the ground filling process in construction projects.

 

Every year, coal mines in the northern province dump about 150 million cubic meters of soil and rock, creating piled up hills on thousands of hectares of land in Ha Long and Cam Pha towns.

 

This wasteland is close to residential areas, causing air pollution and posing the risk of landslides, especially during the rainy season.
