KLHK Grant Discourse, 2 B3 Waste Management Locations Prepared In Lampung
The Lampung Provincial Government (Pemprov) is preparing two locations for the management of hazardous and toxic waste (B3) following a waste management facility grant plan from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK). "The Ministry of Environment and Forestry plans to grant a B3 waste treatment facility to Lampung Province, and we are currently coordinating the plan for this grant," said Head of the Lampung Province Environment Agency (DLH) Emilia Kusumawati in Bandarlampung, Wednesday, January 24, quoted by Antara. He said, in an effort to prepare a grant for B3 waste management facilities by the KLHK, the Lampung Provincial Government is preparing two locations for the placement of its facilities. "There are two locations that we will determine later as places for managing the B3 grant waste from the ministry. This requires further coordination because it must be placed on land owned by the Lampung Provincial Government," he said.
He explained, with the grant of B3 waste management facilities, it will help reduce waste management financing constraints that are quite high because they are carried out outside the region. "So far, the management of B3 waste is quite good because the industry has an obligation to manage its waste. However, the management of the waste is carried out outside areas such as in West Java or Banten, so it requires high costs," he said.
