The big problem in Chiang Rai Province is the waste after the flood of about 68,000 tons.
Another big problem of Chiang Rai Province is garbage. The Deputy Director-General of the Pollution Control Department revealed that from the monitoring and survey of solid waste in the flooded areas of Chiang Rai Municipality and Mae Sai Sub-district Municipality, Chiang Rai Province, there is an estimated cumulative solid waste of about 68,000 tons, currently about 9,400 tons have been collected for management, and 58,600 tons are pending management.
The problem of obstacles at the two garbage dumps is that there is not enough garbage in the area to accommodate the garbage, which is in the process of discussing with the relevant agencies to provide space to support waste separation urgently. Currently, the Mae Sai Municipal Solid Waste Disposal Site is almost at full capacity, and additional budget is needed to expand the supporting area. The wastewater treatment system was found to be damaged in many places.
Howev
er, There is an idea to find a temporary garbage storage area. Mr. Jatuporn Buruspat Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment instructed to coordinate to find an area under the supervision of the TSA to be a temporary resting point for the flood waste pile, which went to the area with the Forestry Department to survey the Doi Pui National Forest area, which is an area that is being inspected and confiscated. It was found that there was a suitable area of 2 rai because most of the areas were with high slopes. It is expected to be a temporary dump for about 4,000 tons and will be surveyed in the area. Pa Ko Dam Mae Lao District, which has an area of about 50 rai, as an additional temporary resting place for flood waste.
For the issue of finding a garbage collection area, I would like to take it from the Japanese model. This information was obtained from “Dr. A” Sujashwir. Suwansawat As a former President of the Council of Engineers, Dr. A had the opportunity to visit the work on
waste disposal during the disaster in Japan. By using the model during the tsunami disaster. On March 14, 2011, 28 million tons of waste from this incident occurred. Japan prepares it as a manual, a practice schedule, and when the time of the accident comes, there is no need to waste time thinking because it is thought, designed, and planned. You can follow the measures that have been put in place. It is divided into the following categories:
1. Household items such as TVs, refrigerators, these things. Return to the owner of the house2.Debris
from the collapsed house, such as wood remains, the remains of various structures that come from the structure of the house3.Wood
and other materials may be furniture4.Bricks
, cement to be crushed, compacted, and separated.5.Muddy
soil.
6.Boats and cars that were carried away by the
water7.In the Fukushima area, which is an area where nuclear bombs were bombed, there are contaminants (something Thailand does not have).
It is considered that Japan has a more diff
icult incident than Thailand, and all 7 categories are sorted from the source before being transported, not separated at a temporary garbage collection site. When it comes to disasters, Japan is a country that has disaster training, and when a disaster occurs, there is a command agency that divides the work of each agency and hires local villagers to help sort it by category. Wood chips, bricks, stones, and metal are transported first, with wood in one place and stones in another. As for the location, in principle, it should not be a forest because it is difficult for cars to access, transporting resources, oil, and labor, the farther it goes, the more resources are wasted. Japan will find an area near the accident site, convenient transportation, and convenient transportation. It is a temporary garbage area (when the area is cleared, the area will be empty as before), which Japan uses a lot of temporary space because it affects a large area.
If recommended, it should be a roadside area with a large enough a
rea. The sorted garbage, if it is lime, will be crushed finely. Made into building materials If it is wood, it will be dried for fuel. The sand soil is used to fill in the area. Mud is also considered good quality soil. Currently, they are preparing to propose an alarm and will have to go to the area to help. As the government now, it must also take action. This Friday-Saturday, I will go to survey the structure of houses because the flood is water eroding the soil below. It will be investigated to see if it is safe enough to live in. As for whether the waste disposal model will be proposed to the government, I think it will, and if the Prime Minister assigns him to carry out this matter, he will be welcome. As a coalition party and a duty to serve the country.
