Abstract
The wastes which are discharged from Kinki 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 40% of those wastes to the final disposal site.
The Osaka Bay Phoenix Plan is to dispose of 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 final disposal sites, off-Amagasaki (113 ha) and off-Izumiotsu (203 ha) with an eye to prevent environmental pollution.
This report describes the outline of Osaka Bay Phoenix Plan and the processes which have led to the implementaion of the plan.
