Formula for Calculating Environmental Protection Fees for Wastewater from Production Facilities with an Average Annual Wastewater Volume of 20 m3/day or More
Clause 2b, Article 6 of Decree 53/2020/ND-CP (Effective from July 01, 2020) stipulates:
Production and processing facilities with an average annual wastewater volume of 20 m3/day or more: fees are calculated according to the following formula: F = f + C.
Where:
- F is the total fee payable.
- f is the fixed fee: VND 1,500,000/year (from January 01, 2021 onwards, it is VND 4,000,000/year); if the facility starts operations after the first quarter, the payable fee is calculated for the period from the quarter the facility begins operations to the end of the year, the fee for one quarter = f/4.
- C is the variable fee, calculated based on: the total volume of wastewater discharged, the concentration of each pollutant present in the wastewater, and the charge rate for each pollutant according to the Table below:
| No. | Chargeable Pollutant | Fee Rate (VND/kg) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) | 2,000 |
| 2 | Total Suspended Solids (TSS) | 2,400 |
| 3 | Mercury (Hg) | 20,000,000 |
| 4 | Lead (Pb) | 1,000,000 |
| 5 | Arsenic (As) | 2,000,000 |
| 6 | Cadmium (Cd) | 2,000,000 |
Sincerely!
