MARGAO, JULY 8
The Goa State Pollution Control Board on Thursday conducted a site inspection of the Sonsodo dump yard with officials of the Margao Municipality and representatives of the Fomento company.
The inspection was carried out as the Board has received an application from the Margao Municipality seeking authorization to set up a waste treatment plant at the Sonsodo dump yard.
Margao Municipal Council Chairperson Savio Coutinho and Fomento CEO Shridar Kamat were also present for the site inspection.
During inspection, Pollution Control Board officials raised various questions with the Fomento CEO on the land fill site and drainage facility.
The MMC chairperson said that the drainage works should form an important component of the ongoing works at Sonsodo to control leachate.
Earlier in the day, Fomento made a power point presentation on the plant and machinery that would be installed at Sonsodo to take care of the city’s waste. The company also made a presentation on the land fill site at the dumping yard.
The power point presentation and the site inspection was arranged by the Pollution Control board following a request received from the Margao Municipal Council seeking authorization on behalf of Fomento to erect waste treatment plant at Sonsodo.
