In a statement, the BCDA reiterated that the Kalangitan sanitary landfill in Capas, Tarlac has no authority to operate (ATO) or business permit, emphasizing that any attempt to continue its operations would be against the law.
It said the contract for services between Metro Clark Waste Management Corp. (MCWMC) and Clark Development Corp. (CDC) expired last Oct. 5 and could not be renewed or extended.
This means that the company's ATO/business permit for the Kalangitan landfill site has also expired.
"Considering CDC has not issued any authority to operate Kalangitan as a waste disposal facility, its continued use as a sanitary landfill would violate existing laws such as Republic Act 9003 or the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000. Hence, its continued use is unauthorized and illegal," the BCDA said.
In line with this, the BCDA is seeking the cooperation of local government units, other government agencies, and businesses to stop using the sanitary landfill.
