Clark Development Corporation, together with Clark Water Corporation, has initiated efforts to upgrade its wastewater treatment processes to prepare the sewage treatment facility serving the Clark Freeport Zone to comply with the new, more stringent standards of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources Administrative Order (DAO) 2016-08 on biological nutrient removal (BNR).
The Notice to Proceed (NTP) has also been issued by CDC to CWC on 22 April 2021 to signal its concurrence to start the implementation of the approved Compliance Action Plan. On the same day, CWC has mobilized its contractor to immediately start the activities relative to the upgrade of the wastewater treatment facility.
The parties stressed that this collaboration is a testament of their dedication to adhere with the new government-mandated environmental regulations while serving the current and future needs of the locators of the freeport.
