Work at Bulacan sanitary landfill rushed

- Dino Balabo -

NORZAGARAY, Bulacan – Work is now in progress in the country’s largest sanitary landfill in this town after Environment and Natural Resources Secretary Lito Atienza lifted the cease-and-desist order (CDO) issued against the project last year.

Ramon Angelo, of Waste Custodian Management, the landfill’s private proponent, told The STAR that they are making up for lost time.

He said he has asked his workers to work even on Sundays just to finish their category 4 sanitary landfill before the year ends.

“It has been more than a year and we are thankful to the people who trusted us,” Angelo said.

Lormelyn Claudio, former Central Luzon director of the Environment Management Bureau (EMB), issued the cease-and-desist order in August last year, less than three months after she granted the landfill project an environmental compliance certificate.

Claudio based her issuance of the cease-and-desist order on a letter of a certain Rene Carreon of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas who claimed that they own the landfill site.
