The pollution was alarming and was seriously affecting aquaculture producers downstream, the department said.
Fish had died en mass and the river stank, it said.
The department did not recommend measures to clean up the environment but suggested local authorities be active to limit losses from aquaculture.
It also asked the local water company to ensure residents and producers had an adequate supply of clean water.
The Day is a major river in the north, running through Ha Noi, Hoa Binh, Ha Nam, Ninh Binh and Nam Dinh Provices. The much smaller Nhue passes through Hanoi and Ha Nam Province.
