Residents of Lower Estate, St George are being promised relief from the pungent odours emanating from the dump in their community, by the end of the year.Deputy Chief Environmental Officer Ronald Chapman gave that assurance during the St George Speaks town hall meeting on Thursday when he revealed that the initial planning for a large-scale clean-up operation has been completed but a wait for some vital equipment is now the holdup.He explained that given the health and environmental concerns that are predicted to emerge once works begin, specialised equipment had to be ordered for the massive operation.“What the residents were adamant about, and rightly so, is that once we start to do the remediation we expect that the removal of the topsoil and other parts of the dump will cause flare-ups, and if that is going to happen then we need to be able to monitor that site as the remediation process went on,” Chapman said, noting that “the problem will get worse before it gets better”.
