More firms closed over bay pollution
Excerpt
Environment officials on Friday shut down more companies in Bulacan province that were found polluting Manila Bay while they required other firms to clear their septic tanks. Lormelyn Claudio, director of the Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) in Central Luzon, said her office had already served notices of violation, with cease and desist orders, to 15 companies operating along the river system of the City of Meycauayan and Marilao and Obando towns connected to Manila Bay. Claudio said the outfalls of most of these companies had been either plugged or covered with concrete to prevent draining of untreated wastewater into the Meycauayan and Marilao rivers.
