Authorities have shut down a sanitary landfill in Urdaneta City in Pangasinan, the latest on the intensified crackdown on dumpsites violating environmental laws.
Although not an open dumpsite, a sanitary landfill facility in Barangay Catablan, Urdaneta City was ordered closed due to environmental violations, according to Maria Dorica Naz-Hipe, director of the Environmental Management Bureau-Region 1 of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).
The 18,000-square meter sanitary landfill facility (SLF) was shut down after two cease and desist orders (CDO) were issued by the Urdaneta City Engineered Sanitary Landfill on March 5. “Sanitary landfill facilities causing environmental hazards are not spared from the government’s open dumpsite crackdown nationwide,” the DENR said in a statement.
