The preparation for the project including the ground and earth work was completed by the CEA.

The Environment Ministry commenced the Pilisaru project in March 2008 to maximize recycling and reuse waste by introducing the Integrated Sustainable Waste Management (ISWM) system. This has been done by training government officials, policy formulation and establishing basic waste management facilities.

Korea and Sri Lanka agreed to launch this project at a designated area in Dompe (two hectares in extent) to support the efforts of the government to help establish an efficient model of integrated waste management facilities. The details of the terms and conditions of the agreement between KOICA and CEA were finalized on September 2008.

Under this USD 4.5 million project, KOICA is responsible for designing and construction of the sanitary landfill site with a handling capacity of the collected waste up to 90 tons a day, construction of a sanitary treatment facility for polluted water, training of Sri Lankan officials in policy and the technical issues of waste management, landfill site operation and management, provision of machinery and equipment including vehicles, an arm roll truck, a backhoe and a bulldozer, etc.

CEA has undertaken the project site clearance and groundwork and it will continue to support the construction work by KOICA until the completion of the project by the end of next year.

This project is expected to be the first sanitary landfill facility of its kind in the country and it will contribute to the replication of an efficient model of waste management across the country. In addition, it will contribute to consolidating partnerships and cooperation in the area of integrated sustainable waste management and other projects between Korea and Sri Lanka.

The attendees at the ceremony included Environment Minister Anura Priyadarshana Yapa, Ministerial Secretary Basnayake and Charitha Herath, CEA Chairman and other officials from the CEA. Also present were Korean ambassador Choi Jong-Moon, KOICA Resident Representative Cho Sang Woo and contractors from Samhee Construction Company.
