Chapter II. SOLUTIONS TO  ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION
I. Choosing solutions to environmental remediation
- Basing on the factual conditions of every kind of mineral extraction, the effects of mining process on the environment and communities around as well as on the geologic structure, miner composition and environmental quality of the area, organizations and individuals have to build possible solutions for environmental remediation. Solutions for environmental remediation must ensure no incidents to the environment and public health.
- Environmental remediation must follow the instructions at Appendix No. 3 issued with this circular and the regulations involved.
- Describe briefly the solutions; what to do and how much work to do. Make the complete territory map of exploited space and show the work for environmental remediation.
- Assess the effects on the environment, the sustainability and safety of the work for environmental remediation (including depression, devolving, waterproof ness, lowering the underground water level, fractures, environmental incidents, ...).
- Calculate the “soil recovery index" for solution choices (Minimum 02 solutions for each item) defined by the following expression:
I_p = (G_m - G_p)/G_c
In which:
+ G_m: The value the land after recovery forecasted in market prices at the time of calculating;
+ G_p: The total cost of soil recovery to achieve the using purpose;
+ G_c: The primitive  value of the land before the mine opening at the time of calculating (according to the Government’s price);
Choose the best solutions to environmental remediation on the basis of assessing and comparing the soil recovery index and strengths as well as weaknesses of the solutions (Minimum 02 solution for each item in the work)
II. Content of environmental remediation
Based on the chosen solutions to environmental remediation, the content, quantity and categories of work items for environmental remediation should be built, specifically:
- Design and calculate the work quantity for environmental remediation according to the guidance in Appendix No. 11 of this circular.
- Design and calculate the work quantity for environmental remediation which can reach the target, and be suitable with factual conditions;
- Design the work to reduce bad impacts, and prevent environmental incidents for each stage in the process of environmental remediation
- Make a table of the work items for environmental remediation; the work quantity to be done in stages and in the whole process of environmental remediation;
- Make a census of devices, machines and materials, soil, green plants used in the process of environmental remediation in each stage and in the whole process of environmental remediation;
- Make plans of prevention and response to incidents in the process of environmental remediation;
The engineering quota to design, construct the work of  buildings environmental remediation are based on the report of research on mining or designing mining facility or the report on environment impact assessments.
III. Plans
Present the map of carrying out the environmental remediation
Present the progress of environmental remediation and plans of monitoring the construction quality.
The organizational plans for auditing the work of environmental remediation to check and confirm to have completed the content of the project of environmental remediation
The solutions to manage, protect the work of environmental remediation after being tested and confirmed.
In the process of mineral extraction, organizations and individuals can use the results of monitoring the environment in the report on environment impact assessments/ The environment protecting commitment form/ the approved environmental protection project.
Make the table of the progress of environmental remediation as the following form:

No	Name of work	Quantity/ unit	Unit price	Total amount	Time to do	Time to finish	Note
I	Area of exploitation
I.1	Open-cut exploitation
1	Retrofitting the coast mine, the bottom of mine in area A

Chapter III. EXPENDITURE ESTIMATING FOR ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION
I. Estimated Cost for environmental remediation
- The base of estimation: the extent, latest prices in the local or in the equivalent ministries in case there has not Unit price in the local
- The content of the estimation: based on the factual conditions and on the amount and content of the work of environmental remediation as instructed in Appendix No. 11 issued with this Circular.
- Tabling the synthetic costs including the work, quantity and price of each work item in each stages and the total expenditure for environmental remediation
II. Calculate the amount of money to be signed and the time to sign
The amount of money signed for the first time and the next time, the time to sign for the first time and the next time is under the regulation guidance of this circular.
II. The institution to sign:
Organizations and individuals choose the institution to sign the fund for environmental remediation (Fund of local environmental protection or Fund of Vietnam environmental protection).
 
Chapter IV. THE COMMITMENT AND CONCLUSION
I. The commitments of organizations and individuals
The commitments of organizations and individuals about signing fund for environmental remediation; al-ternatives for environmental remediation must obey the rules about general environmental remediation, environmental protection related to the stages of the project. Specifically:
