Measures taken to stem leachate - Malaysia Star


Remedial steps: A small dam was built before the dyke to prevent leachate flow into the treatment plant.

SHAH ALAM: Earthwork on the dyke at the landfill along Sungai Kembong leading to the Sungai Semenyih water treatment plant was conducted after heavy rainfall caused erosion.

Leachate flow into the treatment plant has also been halted, according to Worldwide Holdings Bhd chief executive officer Nor Azlina Zakaria.

She said all necessary remedial measures had been taken.

“The leachate flowed out due to heavy rain and this caused the top portion to erode,” she told The Star.

Nor Azlina said that as a proactive measure, a small dam had been built before the dyke to avert an overflow of rain water into the river.
