KLH Minta Pemda Siaga Kebakaran TPA Akibat Cuaca Panas Ekstrem
Kementerian Lingkungan Hidup (KLH) menginstruksikan seluruh pemerintah daerah untuk meningkatkan kesiapsiagaan menghadapi potensi kebakaran di Tempat Pemrosesan Akhir (TPA) sampah akibat cuaca panas ekstrem, melalui Surat Edaran Nomor 11 Tahun 2026. Instruksi tersebut mencakup penghentian praktik open dumping, penutupan zona terbuka, penyiraman dan patroli rutin, serta pengelolaan gas metana melalui sistem venting sebagai faktor utama pemicu kebakaran. KLH juga tengah mengumpulkan data dari berbagai lokasi kejadian kebakaran, termasuk TPA Putri Cempo dan Bogor, sambil memprioritaskan pemadaman titik api di lapangan, dengan kemungkinan sanksi bagi pemda yang TPA-nya mengalami kebakaran masih dalam pendalaman.
