SAN FERNANDO,  LA UNION- The phase 2 of the World Bank-funded 10 hectares  engineered sanitary landfill in Barangay Mameltac will  be completed before the year ends and finishing touches are now on it final stages says Mayor Pablo Ortega.

In his bi-monthly radio program over DZNL Aksyon Radio, Ortega  announced that the P163-million landfill will be fully operational by December.

The construction was made by Kane Construction (KCI), a local firm involved in construction of engineered landfills.

Construction of the first phase of the project was completed last year and became operational after the completion of support facilities such as water treatment plant, pumping stations and monitoring wells. Jun Elias
