Vietnam provincial sand mining regulation

Overview

Authorities in Vietnam’s Gia Lai and Nghe An provinces have implemented stricter oversight of sand mining to improve resource management and disaster preparedness.

In Gia Lai, mining operations in the eastern region are paused from September 16 through December 31 to mitigate natural disaster risks. During this period, businesses are required to clear riverbeds and remove service roads, though the Department of Industry and Trade has prohibited using clearing activities as a cover for illegal extraction. Companies must also monitor siltation and map riverbeds to manage reserves.

In Nghe An, provincial leaders have conducted inspections along the Lam River to enforce compliance regarding mining capacity, output, and licensing. These efforts aim to prevent resource loss by ensuring all operations adhere to legal frameworks and authorized flow channels.
