The Tunisian Ministry of Environment has expressed concerns that the halt of construction work on a waste disposal site in Nabul could disrupt waste management and exacerbate environmental problems. In a written response to a question from Deputy Riem Sghir, the ministry stated that the delay in completing the project could worsen the environmental situation and affect the continuity of public waste management services.
The construction work is part of a project to upgrade the existing waste disposal site, which is being carried out by the National Agency for Waste Management. The project aims to find technical solutions to ensure the continuity of public waste management services for a longer period. The ministry stated that the new facility is designed to collect and manage wastewater generated from the treatment process.
The ministry emphasized that the new facility is not a source of pollution, but rather an integral part of the environmental protection system at the site. The facility is designed to collect and manage wastewater in an isolated and lined basin, preventing any potential leaks into the soil or groundwater.
The ministry noted that the delay in completing the project has already led to a worsening of the exploitation situation at the site, with insufficient space to receive wastewater generated from the treatment process. This has resulted in environmental and health concerns for the local community.
The ministry warned that if the construction work is not completed, it could have negative consequences for the environmental situation in the region and disrupt waste management services. The ministry stressed the importance of completing the project to ensure the continuity of public waste management services and protect the environment.
The waste disposal site in Nabul is a critical facility for managing household and similar waste in the region. The ministry's concerns highlight the need for effective waste management solutions to protect the environment and public health. The project's completion is crucial to addressing the region's waste management challenges.
The Tunisian government has been working to improve waste management services and address environmental concerns. The ministry's efforts to upgrade the waste disposal site in Nabul are part of a broader strategy to enhance waste management and environmental protection in the country.
