TALISAYAN Mayor Rico T. Taray expressed concern over the town’s sanitary landfill located at Barangay Casibole after its clay liner reportedly failed to qualify set standards.
“Gakabalaka kita nga wala mo qualify ang clay liner sa atong sanitary landfill,” Taray said in an interview Thursday morning.
In the Seminar on Sustainable Sanitary Landfill and Solid Waste Management Policies held at Sangguniang Bayan Session Hall, Dr. Ma. Catherine Q. Arca, chairperson of the College of Engineering, Department of Civil Engineering of the Central Mindanao University announced that the clay liner of the Talisayan sanitary landfill did not qualify based on a study they did on the facility.
“Dili qualified ang clay liner sa sanitary landfill sa Talisayan nga mahimong basurahan,” she said.
For his part, Taray hopes that they could find a solution to the problem at the soonest time possible.
However, the expert said there is actually a solution to the problem as she recommend and presented during the seminar.
Arca said there are materials that can be processed that can then replace the clay liner that failed the test.
Taray thanked the team from Central Mindanao University based in Maramag, Bukidnon.
The seminar was attended by the Talisayan Police, the Local Bureau of Fire and Protection, SB Members, the Philippine Coastguard, Municipal Environmental and Natural Resources, and other local government employees.
