I'm no expert on waste management systems but it's no secret that Thailand (and the rest of the world) need to keep moving forward with improvements as best as possible

Will the Governor cleanup the existing site for contaminated water? Affected water could be the water table in which case any wells using it will endanger the health of all who use the water. Seems the move to a new location may be intended simply to avoid cleaning the existing site.
