Recently, I had worked with J-PRISM
specialists for improving the existing dumpsite. This dumpsite is supposed to
be expired within 3 years although EPA hasn’t identified the location of the
next waste disposal site. Therefore, we need to maintain the current one and
start the procedure for building the new one at the same time.
Regarding to the one which people are
utilizing now, while operators of the site have already got accustomed to how
to arrange piles of garbage, there were a few concerns these days. First, there
was a pond or rather wet area at the center of the site. However, the
specialists put some pipes underneath the waste from the wet part to a leachate
pond. Thanks to this treatment, the water will be drained away adequately to
the pond even after rainy days. Second, they seemed worried about whether the
operators can maintain the dumpsite by themselves, but it turned out to be no
problem finally. Additionally, since the boss of them is a kind of hard worker,
the experts seemingly don’t need to take heed of it so much.
The process of building the new dumpsite
needs to be observed even after the meeting yesterday for sharing information
of the coming one and making an action plan. First of all, we have to finalize
the place of the new dumpsite. This should be finished as soon as possible
because the existing one is about to be close to its limit of capacity. In case
of that there occurs a time lag between the closure of the current site and
opening of the new one, residents on this island can hardly dispose their
garbage. In addition to the timing of opening the new site, the dumpsite itself
may be a problem in a view of environment assessment. That is to say, the
stakeholders have to choose the most adequate place to dispose the waste from
all the people of this island. For instance, if the place is in swamp area,
disposed wastes aren’t decomposed smoothly, and might be a worse place than the
present condition.
