| Posted: 29 Nov 2011 02:21 AM PST I am writing with regard to the StarMetro article "Stench in Semenyih" that appeared on Nov 22. I work part-time for the company that provides the RRC-WTE technology that is used at the plant, so am very familiar with the recycle energy plant in question and am quite concerned that you may have misled your readers. First of all, Taman Desa Mewah is about 5km from the plant so it is not possible for the smell to reach there. The raw waste is sprayed with a deodorising enzyme as soon as it arrives and the company follows a strict regime of odour control to ensure that the smell does not drift into the locality. The waste that fuels the power plant is burnt at over 800 degrees Celsius, so there's absolutely no way that the smell is coming from the chimney. The company constantly checks the quality of the emission as does the Department of Environment (DOE) and it has always been found to be well within DOE-approved standards. With regard to the trucks going through Kampung Sungai Lalang, the company built a separate access road that by-passes the village. The road that runs through Kampung Sungai Lalang is in such poor condition, with large potholes, that the garbage trucks would find it virtually impossible to use. I suppose it is possible that an occasional truck mistakes the turn off and drives through the village but it certainly isn't the norm. Your article implies that it's standard practice. The one thing I will agree with your article is that there is often a stench along Jalan Sungai Lalang as I have smelt it myself, but I am also sure that it is not coming from the RESB plant. It is too far away from the plant and the smell disappears when you approach the turn-off for the plant. I do think it is possible that there is an illegal garbage dump somewhere near the industrial area that abuts Taman Desa Mewah, which may account for the foul smell reported by the residents there. The RRC-WTE technology being employed at the plant is helping to conserve the environment and improve public health by eliminating the need for landfills. Furthermore it is supplying energy to the national grid and has created jobs in the area. Preventing waste fron being sent to a landfill also helps to reduce global warming by eliminating the landfill gas, methane, from the atmosphere. Mary Maguire |
