Residents reject planned dump-site

BOGOR: Bogor administration will reject the planned dump-site
for the capital's trash in Bonjong village if the site damages
the environment, or the regency is not compensated by Jakarta, an
official says.

Head of the regency's spatial and environmental agency, Adrian
Ariakusumah, said that if that is the case, the Memory of
Understanding (MoU) agreement between his administration and PT
Wira Gulfindo Sarana (WGS) will be revoked.

"PT WGS has already analyzed the environmental impact and will
implement German ballpress technology," Adrian claimed on Monday,
adding that an estimated 1500 m2 garbage from Bogor was expected
to be dumped there everyday.

Meanwhile the deputy chairman of the regency council's
Commission D for development affairs, Endang Sutisna, admitted
that the board had recommended the city administration develop
Bojong as a dump-site two years ago.

He claimed the people living around the dump-site agreed with
the plan.

"I wonder why they suddenly fight against it (the plan)", said
Sutisna. -- JP
