A tender process has been initiated for the remediation of residual lignite waste stored at the small depot located in OCHIS. This crucial undertaking involves the cleanup of the third, fourth, and fifth basins within the facility, which are designated areas for hazardous waste storage. This current tender follows a broader commitment announced previously, where funds were allocated to address the historical waste accumulated over several decades at the former semi-factory site.
A total of twelve million euros is earmarked for this cleanup, with the remediation work scheduled to take place over a three-year period, covering the overall sanitation and rehabilitation of one of the three depots. Progress has already been documented since the project commenced in 2021. To date, excavation and disposal efforts have successfully removed 1,969 tons of lignite and 586 tons of contaminated soil from the small depot area.
For the comprehensive sanitation of the entire location, substantial amounts of material remain. Specifically, the site still requires the removal of approximately 916 tons of HC waste, 2,191 tons of contaminated soil, and an additional 1,121 tons of contaminated soil. The ongoing tender is vital for managing this remaining hazardous waste, ensuring that the site remediation process moves forward systematically and responsibly.
