The city government of Koronadal has created a technical working group (TWG) to conduct a thorough study on the city’s plan to establish its own sanitary landfill (SLF).
Koronadal City Mayor Peter B. Miguel said, the primary objective of the TWG is to study and plan the city’s SLF in accordance to Republic Act 9003 otherwise known as “Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000.”
Members of the TWG are particularly concerned with the city LGU’s concern to establishing environmentally-sound techniques of waste recovery, utilization, and disposal.
The TWG consists of two committees, namely: conceptual design and IEC resource mobilization.
Conceptual design committee will be concerned with planning and designing the SLF and providing technical assistance in the establishment of an SLF management plan.
It shall also supervise the implementation of the SLF, including the design and construction of the facility and manage the review and evaluation of its outputs.
On the other hand, the IEC resource mobilization committee will take care of the implementation of information, education, and communication campaign to ensure that the residents living in the vicinity of the SLF will be properly educated of the city’s project.
