Marktredwitz / Eger - The German energy provider Gelsenkirchen water will burn garbage right next to a residential center in the Czech Republic Cheb / Eger. Desperate residents of the planned waste incineration sought help at the weekend with the Greens in the district Wunsiedel as county chairman and county councilor Brigitte Artmann reported in a press release. Only until 12 December could citizens submit objections to the District Karlovy Vary.
The residents have submitted a petition with 330 signatures, according Artmann. They complained, among other things, that the incinerator is only 250 meters away from the residential area and unsorted waste is burned. So could also hazardous waste from entering the farm. The chimney was only 35 feet high because of the proximity to the airport and was not equipped with safety devices.
The town of Cheb residents have also informed that the German side had no objection to the construction of the incinerator.
Not applicable
"This is at least in my case not applicable," writes Brigitte Artmann. It was approved by the Czech Ministry of the Environment in the objection process, as they have coveted through the European Commission access to the procedure. Artmann had "new Temelin nuclear power plant" with the Czech Ministry of Environment already perceived in the March trial date in the era before the UN Aarhus Convention Compliance Committee in Geneva, in order to examine legal issues. Because no one in the Czech Republic was entitled to bring proceedings against these environmentally relevant building permits, whether at Temelin or the incinerator.
Artmann feared that dioxins and furans dangerous when refuse is burnt at a low temperature. The Bohemian and the Bavarian state parliament Greens and representatives of Czech environmental organizations were up in arms against this waste CHP plants, of which several were planned in the Czech Republic.
Be interesting to see if District Doehler and the District government will seek public participation and whether the federal government conservation would participate. Professor Dr. Thomas Foken from meteorological institute of the University of Bayreuth had confirmed that it was demonstrated that in the winter a substantial burden of the Fichtelgebirge by emissions from northern Bohemia there at temperature inversion.
