The site where the waste from the Asian Rare Earth (ARE) plant in
Bukit Merah, Perak is currently stored is safe enough to be turned into a
recreational park. “(The
authorities) can turn into a park, a forest reserve or a recreational
place. It's no problem. There is no prohibition,” AELB director-general Raja Abdul Aziz Raja Adnan told reporters at
the AELB briefing.
According to Raja Abdul Aziz, this can be done for the Bukit Kledang 16 hectare waste disposal site that consist of two engineered cells after it has been completely sealed, a move scheduled for next year.
The first engineered cell is used to bury the original components and structure of the ARE under two meters of soil and sealed with concrete.
The second engineered cell will be used for the actual processed waste from the ARE, which was previously stored in chemical safe oil drums in the same site and sealed off in the form of a hill, and is located 1.7 km from the Ipoh-Lumut highway.
