: Having a special drainage system for treated leachate at the final discharge point of the treatment plant at the Sungai Udang Sanitary Landfill is seen as a proactive method to prevent any recurrence of river pollution incidents caused by effluent discharge from wastewater pond at the site.
He said through the method, the appointed operator, Greenviro Solution Sdn Bhd, would ensure that only the surface runoff would enter the area to ensure smooth operation of the landfill. “This process is important to maintain the natural color level of the water mixed with the flow of hill water as well as soil and dust at a nearby construction site,” he told reporters at a press conference here today.
Effluent released from the wastewater pond had affected agricultural activities of various cash crops and paddy involving 1,500 hectares in Paya Rumput and Bukit Rampai.
