From Chapter 5 page 23 of the Environmental Impact Assessment: Proposed Onsite Secure Landfill (Prescribed Premise) for the Storage of NUF Solids within the Existing LAMP Site:

“Mining of bauxite in Kuantan in the past had caused detrimental impacts on the environment, health and quality of life for people living in the vicinity. To prevent recurrence of similar post– mining practice, Lynas in collaboration with University of Malaysia Pahang and Malaysia Nuclear Agency carried out a study on the applicability of CondiSoil as alternative backfill engineered buffer material for post–mining bauxite land.

In summary, the R&D to commercialise the use of WLP and NUF has grown and diversified from being products for road-base material in road construction to soil conditioners that will ameliorate poor soil for agriculture, as well as alternative backfill engineered and buffer material to rehabilitate bauxite-mined areas for civil construction.”

It is unforgivable that the Yeo, as the Minister responsible for the Environment, is blocking the potential for alternative material to rehabilitate post-mining bauxite land.
