Governor of Jakarta Pramono Aung has responded to resident complaints\nregarding deteriorating air quality in the area surrounding the Refuse\nDerived Fuel (RDF) waste processing facility at Rorotan in North\nJakarta.<\/p>\n
Pramono has instructed his administration to immediately reduce the\nvolume of waste processing if pollution impacts exceed the reasonable\nthresholds being targeted.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs soon as the threshold is exceeded, I request that it be reduced,\u201d\nsaid Pramono in the Serdang area of Central Jakarta\u2019s Kemayoran district\non Monday, 16 March.<\/p>\n
He emphasised that operations of the facility must not compromise the\ncomfort of residents in the surrounding area, with public acceptance and\nhealth remaining the primary yardstick.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause for me, what matters most is that the public can accept it,\u201d\nsaid Pramono.<\/p>\n
To ensure the environment remains safe, the Jakarta Provincial\nGovernment continues to monitor air quality in the RDF Rorotan area on\nan ongoing basis.<\/p>\n
The waste processing volume at RDF Rorotan is therefore deliberately\nbeing maintained below the maximum target to preserve air stability\nwhilst improving the existing logistics system.<\/p>\n
As transport management improves, Pramono hopes the facility will\neventually achieve its production target safely without triggering\npollution.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd relatively it is currently holding steady at figures between\n700, 800 tonnes and so on. One of the issues is indeed transportation,\nand transportation is now being handled better,\u201d explained Pramono.<\/p>\n
\u201cHopefully Rorotan will soon be able to operate normally with the\ncapacity that is now targeted at 1,000 tonnes per day,\u201d he added.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/pramono-limits-waste-processing-at-rdf-rorotan-facility-in-north-jakarta-1773676378", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
