VietNamNet Bridge – Polluting Tam Dao Golf Course in northern Vinh Phuc Province keeps ignoring provincial authorities’ requests to treat its wastes, creating a stir among local residents.

Since the course was built in 2004, the local water source became heavily polluted due to the discharge of untreated herbicides and pesticides from the golf course.

Hop Chau Commune’s Son Long village, where there are about 200 households, was affected most.

Last year, the company was fined VND114 million (US$5,500) for causing pollution.
