JATIM - The Environment Agency (DLH) of Ponorogo Regency, East Java (East Java) is looking for alternative land for land for landfills.

The head of DLH Ponorogo, Gulang Winarno, said that the TPA that is usually used, namely TPA Mrican, has now been overloaded or overcapacity. "We are currently looking for alternatives. We have coordinated with Perhutani to borrow land as a new TPA location," he said in Ponorogo, Friday, December 15, which was confiscated by Antara. As a result, Perhutani responded positively to the DLH submission. The plan is that the new TPA to be opened is in plot one F1 and plot one F2, which is still in Mrican Village, Jenangan District. It is suspected that the new TPA can already be used as a waste final disposal in mid-2024. The land area to be used for TPA is projected to be 9.8 hectares, three times more than the TPA Mrican which is only 2.8 hectares. It is also a condition for Adipura, which has a minimum TPA of 5 hectares. "The system will be borrowed for 20 years. Indeed, to become the City of Adipura, we apply to Perhutani to solve the waste problem," he said. Gulang.

Mantan Kepala Dinsos P3A tersebut menambahkan jika saat ini proses perpindahan lahan sudah 50 persen.Di mana saat ini menunggu peraturan teknis dari Perhutani Malang, setelah itu diajukan ke Gubernur Jawa Timur, lalu kemudian ke Kementerian Lingkungan Hidup."Jadi nanti Ponorogo punya dua TPA, untuk yang lama tetap beroperasi sambil mengolah sampah lama dan yang baru, karena memang per hari sampah yang masuk ke TPA Mrican mencapai 70 ton," katanya."Di pertengahan tahun depan bisa menikmati apa yang telah diajukan ke Perhutani," tandasnya.
