I. CONSTRUCTION INVESTMENT CAPITAL FOR HANDLING MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE

1. Explanation and guidance on application

1.1. The construction investment capital for establishing facilities for handling municipal solid waste (hereinafter referred to as the construction investment capital) is the necessary cost required for the new establishment of facilities for handling municipal solid waste using technology and equipment researched and manufactured domestically.

1.2. The construction investment capital is determined based on the price level at the first quarter of 2012.

1.3. The contents of the construction investment capital include necessary costs for researching technology, manufacturing, installing equipment, constructing facilities for handling municipal solid waste, project management, consulting on investment and construction, certain related expenses, and value-added tax.

II. COST LEVEL FOR HANDLING MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE

1. Explanation and guidance on application

1.1. The cost level for handling municipal solid waste (hereinafter referred to as the cost level for handling) is the financial amount calculated per unit of processing capacity (one ton/day) to ensure the recovery of relevant costs associated with the investment and operation of facilities for handling municipal solid waste with reasonable profit margins.

1.2. The cost level for handling is determined for projects investing in facilities for handling municipal solid waste using technology and equipment researched and manufactured domestically. The cost level for handling is calculated under normal operating conditions of the facility for handling municipal solid waste; the quality of the final product must meet the selected technological requirements and environmental protection standards.

1.3. The cost level for handling is determined based on calculating costs related to the investment, construction, and operation of facilities for handling municipal solid waste, taking into account the recovery of costs from the sale of some products generated during the processing (for technologies that produce products during processing).

1.4. The cost level for handling is determined based on the price level at the first quarter of 2012.

1.5. When applying the cost level announced in this Decision, it is necessary to base on the type of technology, processing capacity, ability to consume final products (if applicable), and price levels to adjust the cost level appropriately.

III. SOME REMARKS ON APPLYING THE CONSTRUCTION INVESTMENT CAPITAL, COST LEVEL FOR HANDLING, AND SELECTING TECHNOLOGY FOR HANDLING MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE

1. In the process of preparing investment projects for establishing facilities for handling municipal solid waste, the Investor needs to organize research and evaluation of the advantages and disadvantages of each handling technology to select a suitable technology according to the characteristics of the composition of municipal solid waste and the conditions of waste collection and transportation. For some newly researched and applied technologies in certain localities (fuel pellet technology; incineration technology), careful evaluation is required before deciding to choose them.

2. The construction investment capital and the cost level for handling municipal solid waste announced in this Decision are calculated and determined based on domestic technology and equipment for handling. When determining the investment capital requirement and handling cost for projects using foreign technology and equipment, specific considerations are needed to determine the construction investment capital and the cost level for handling appropriately.

3. In the process of preparing investment projects, the Investor needs to organize surveys and evaluations of the consumption capacity of the products generated during handling, evaluate the quality of the products to meet standards and ensure environmental protection and sustainable development goals.

4. When determining the volume of waste to be processed, the volume of waste already sorted for recycling or landfilling should be excluded to avoid duplicate costs.

5. The specific determination of the cost level for handling municipal solid waste is within the authority of the People's Committees at all levels based on the organization and conditions of waste collection and transportation work and the budget capacity of the locality.
