The Superior Administrative Court (TSA) issued a ruling that appoints a temporary judicial administrator for the Duquesa garbage dump in Santo Domingo. Judge Rafael Vargas Goico ordered that the administration of the dump that services garbage from the Greater Santo Domingo municipalities be taken over by a commission that will be headed up by the Ministry of the Environment and include members of Ministry Public Health and the Santo Domingo North City Hall, where the dump is located.
The Ministry of Environment saluted the TSA decision and announced the Administrative Police of the National Environmental Protection Service (Senpa) was assigned to ensure the dump continued operating.
Following the decision, El Nuevo Diario reported that Lajun Corporation began to remove its machineries from the Duquesa dump, causing major chaos at the entry to the dump.
