The Role of the Waste Management Law and Promotion of Appropriate Waste Disposal

Saskatchewan's potash industry, when operating at capacity, produces 28 × 106 t of salt tailings and 11 × 106 m3 of concentrated brine per year. As a result, in excess of 250 × 106 t of tailings and lesser amounts of brine are stored on the ground surface in waste disposal basins consisting of a system of ponds and dykes. While the substantial quantities of solid waste represent an enormous task for eventual decommissioning, it is the seepage of brine into the surrounding soil and groundwater that is presently of most concern. Four general models are proposed to illustrate the role of hydrogeology in the selection of techniques for containment of potash wastes. This paper reviews waste management schemes in the Saskatchewan potash industry over the past 27 years and presents observations and qualitative evaluations of waste disposal practice of four mines that are representative of the proposed hydrological models. The four case histories identify problems that are common to all mines. The importance of design, operation, and proper monitoring programs is emphasized. The study found that a combination of different seepage barriers have been reasonably successful in preventing serious brine contamination. Shortcomings, where they exist, have been caused largely by unsatisfactory design and construction practices. These inadequacies are of concern to the industry and government regulatory agencies, but they have not yet seriously impeded orderly potash waste disposal. Key words: waste management, potash tailings, brine disposal, brine containment, seepage barriers, seepage control, refining practices, brine ponds.

Initial Source

The increase in population in Palangka Raya each year results in an increase in the waste produced. The increase in the amount of garbage was apparently not followed by an increase in temporary waste disposal facilities (TPS). Based on the results of previous research it was found that for the Pahandut Subdistrict of Palangka Raya City the waste generation produced was not comparable to the capacity of the TPS capacity. It was stated that the capacity of the TPS was only 45% of the waste generation that occurred per day. As a result, a lot of garbage is scattered outside the TPS and some are dumped into rivers and drainage channels. Based on the foregoing, a proposal arises to reduce the problem of waste generation. One such proposal is to reduce the initial source of waste from individual households. However, to reduce household waste, of course, it needs an effort to provide knowledge to the public about the waste sorting efforts that occur. Community participation in addressing the problem of municipal waste is very dominant, and this level of participation should be the main barometer in future waste management. To increase the role of the community in dealing with waste issues we propose an idea as a solution. The idea is to utilize household waste into compost. For this reason, it is necessary to provide a socialization on how to make compost from household waste. Therefore we made socialization with the topic of How to Make Simple Home Composter.

Purpose Waste management behaviours (WMBs) play an important role in minimising metropolitan solid waste generation and reducing the environmental impacts caused by waste disposal. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the role of social norms, organisational norms and personal norms in explaining individuals’ engagement in WMBs, which include waste avoidance, green purchasing, reusing and recycling and waste disposal. Design/methodology/approach The metropolitan city of Bangkok, Thailand was selected as a case study – it faces waste management problems caused by a massive increase in waste over the past decade. This study distributed questionnaires to 193 public and private officers residing in the city of Bangkok. Path analyses and a multiple regression analysis were performed to test the effect of each norm and the association of various norms on individuals’ engagement in WMBs. Findings The results revealed that organisational norms had the strongest effect (both direct and indirect) on WMBs. Personal norms also had a direct effect on WMBs. In contrast, social norms did not directly influence WMBs; however, they did have an indirect effect on WMBs through organisational norms. Practical implications This study suggests that the role of organisational norms should be heavily emphasised in promoting the WMBs of public and private officers. Originality/value This study found that the role of organisational norms is the most significant factor influencing WMBs in workplaces. In addition, both provincial and subjective environmental norms in organisations significantly affect WMBs. They should be enhanced in order to promote WMBs in organisations.

High Level

Along with the increasing number of people and all economic activities carried out, waste becomes acontamination that continues to leave problems. Sidoarjo Regency has 18 sub-districts with 350 villagesand a population of around 2.3 million people with a high level of economic growth. According to the 2017Sidoarjo Regency Environmental and Hygiene Office (DLHK), reported that Sidoarjo district residentsdispose of household waste around 0.5 kg per day. DLHK identifies the lack of Integrated WasteManagement Sites (TPST) and Final Waste Disposal Sites (TPAS) to accommodate and manage wastefrom the Sidoarjo Regency community. The lack of TPST and TPAS is not a problem in wastemanagement if active community involvement is involved in processing household waste known asCommunity Based Waste Management (PSBM). This abdimas method is a campaign about theimportance of the role of the community in improving environmental status and composting training withraw materials in the form of kitchen waste with a simple household-scale tool located in the KeteganVillage office, Tanggulangin Sub-district, Sidoarjo. The participants were very enthusiastic about takingpart in the training and were eager to practice household composting on a household scale for the need tofertilize plants planted in the yard. Participants want monitoring by the service team on the compostingresults that have been carried out by each participant.

Administrative Sanctions

Based on the Jambi City Regional Regulation Number 8 of 2013 concerning Waste Management, violations of the prohibition on waste disposal are subject to administrative sanctions as the main penalty. The amount of the fine is set at a high amount and is applied by the Jambi City Environment Agency (DLH). However, there are still many violations of the prohibition. This study aims to discuss how to regulate the amount of the fine and how the role of DLH Jambi City in implementing fines for violations that occur. The approach used is the sociological legal approach, and research data consists of primary data and secondary data. The role of DLH is measured by the ability of DLH to apply the amount of fines that have been determined, from the amount and time span of the application of fines and from the types of violations for which fines have been applied. From the research results, it is known that from the ability to apply the amount of fines, the role of DLH is not optimal because the amount of fines applied to violators is not all according to the stipulated provisions. The amount and time span of the application of fines are also not optimal because they are not yet comparable to the intensity of violations that can be seen every day, while the application of fines that are carried out does not always exist every month. From the types of violations that have been subject to fines are also not optimal because not all types of violations that have occurred can be seen the application of the fine sanctions.
