Pattaya trying keep Khao Maikaew as its garbage dump

PATTAYA:--Pattaya officials insist they want to locate the city’s new garbage dump in Khao Maikaew despite years of protest from local residents.

 

Mayor Anan Charoen­chasri chaired a Dec. 19 meeting on Pattaya’s trash crisis with consultants from King Mongkut’s University of Technology, North Bangkok and relevant agencies.

 

The initial plan for the “Cluster 2” project estimates construction of a new waste-processing facility will cost 3.3 billion baht. But details of the plan are being withheld due to renewed objections from the Banglamung sub-district, which resents Pattaya using its community as its dumpsite.

 

Anan said Pattaya is actively pursuing negotiations with Khao Maikaew officials and community leaders to get them to agree to locate the landfill and incinerator in their backyard, promising more-effective steps will be taken to mitigate the environmental impact.

 

At a Nov. 29 meeting, Khao Maikaew Mayor Jamnien Keeteepakul joined residents in opposing the plan, saying they’ve been Pattaya’s dumping ground for 30 years and, if the city wants to build a new dump, it should find another city to victimize.

 

King Mongkut project advisor Somrath Kerdsuwan said the new plan calls for packing waste into capsules and burning them in a waste-to-energy incinerator that he claimed would cause little pollution in Khao Maikaew.

Here is the garbage dump now

I very much doubt that the site you linked to is any where near big enough to handle even a small fraction of Pattaya waste output

its only about 60 x 100 meters in area..unless its 20 Kilometres deep and now full.
