Karawang Residents fret of hazardous and toxic wastes (B3) piles that allegedly committed by a company, PT Tenang Jaya Sejahtera.
They were worried about environment pollution that not only threatens human health, but also legal process for environmental crimes that never investigated thoroughly.
Karawang citizens unrest was revealed by Mulia Sejati villagers testimony, while giving a press conference at Indonesian Environmental Forum (Walhi) office, Jakarta, Sunday (3/4/12).
One of villager, Suryana, said the citizens unrest began to emerge after industrial wastes disposed at several locations around their village. Such as, coal industrial liquids and hospital liquids.
The dangerous hazardous waste were found at former quarry near their village. Suryana added, the water color is so black. They also found other waste landfill at their village location.
Approximately about 4 hectares wasted area that owned by PT Tenang Jaya Sejahtera company. The wasted area is near to some villager houses and rice fields..
Residents took initiative and bring wasted water samples for laboratory tests that conducted at Pasundan University.
The result is astonishing, because from BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) and COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) test results, wasted water samples is very dangerous, with 700 mg/l for BOD and 1,600 mg mg/l of COD watse.
While, based on West Java Governor Decree, No 6 of 1999, the limits standard of BOD and COD respectively 150 and 300.
University had already state that water samples is very dangerous.They more worried about village water supply may contaminated by B3 waste.
Residents drinking water source is from water-wells. Suryana can not imagine the dangerous waste consequences to his people health. May be, villager did not feel direct result right now, but 10 or 20 years in future it would.
Therefore, Karawang residents urged to local government and other authorities for take immediately decisive steps to the company.
Walhi representative, Pius Ginting, said that PT Tenang Jaya Lestari company did not have legal permitt for processing B3 waste.
Pius explain, only one company in Indonesia that allowed to hold, process, and utilize B3 waste, that is Prasada Pemusnah Limbah Indutri (PPLI).
Because of this, what PT Tenang Jaya Lestari company did in Karawang is a shortcut to reduce company costs.
When PT Tenang Jaya Lestari company using PPLI services, it means they must pay for the services. Rather than pay, Tenang Jaya Lestari company piled dangerous waste itself. Pius said that PT Tenang Jaya Lestari committed a seriuos environmental crime.
Pius ask West Java Police to performed legal process for PT Tenang Jaya Lestari company, as mandated by Protection and Environment Management Law, article 85 Paragraph 2 of No 32 of 2009.
