The wastes which are discharged from Kinki district amounts to a hundred millions tons a year. Even if the measures must be taken to promote resource recovery from such wastes and to reduce the weight and volume of wastes by intermediate treatment, we must dispose of 46 millions tons of wastes to the final disposal site.
Our bussiness is to dispose of the wastes such as general wastes, industrial wastes, soil discharged by construction activities, and dredged sand from the regional area (149 municipalities) to the two of our final disposal sites, Amagasakioki (113ha) and Izumiotsuoki (203ha) with an eye to prevent environmental pollution.
We construct loading facilities, and wastes are carried by barges from each loading facilities to the landfill sites in order to prevent the concentration of the dump trucks loading wastes.
Acceptable wastes must be nontoxic and nonhazardous, also they must be satisfied with our acceptable standards of wastes. In the impermeable water controlled area where we dispose of general wastes, sewage sludge, slag, smoke dust and so on, we have driven in steel sheet piles in behind the sea walls down to the clay layer, and we are to discharge the water through the waste water treatment facility.
Landfilling period is about six years from 1989 to 1994, and the land is planned to be utilized as sites for factories, a park, a yachtharbor and so on.
Thus, the wastes are expected to rebirth the land, improve the urban environment and also recreat the new seacoast environment.
