State-run Bases Conversion and Development Authority said it is stepping in to help local government units and businesses find new waste disposal solutions as the 25-year contract between Clark Development Corp. and Metro Clark Waste Management Corp. for the Kalangitan sanitary landfill nears its October 2024 expiration.
The OGCC said the extension is not allowed under the Build-Operate-Transfer Law which governs the bidding and awarding of the project. A recent report by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources-Environmental Management Bureau Region III identified two existing facilities in Pampanga with a combined daily capacity of 3,500 metric tons of domestic waste.
The BCDA was invited to the opening of another materials recovery facility in Porac, Pampanga with a capacity of 5,000 MT per day. This brings the total combined capacity to 11,000 MT, exceeding the waste management needs of Tarlac, Pampanga and surrounding areas.
