The old landfill “Tsentrolit” has exhausted its possibilities and is the reason for citizens' appeals Stebaevsky village council of the Lipetsk region. The construction of the facility will ensure the execution of the decree of Russian President Vladimir Putin on halving the amount of municipal solid waste (MSW) sent to landfills and maximizing the use of waste in secondary economic circulation. This was reported to “Lente.ru” in the press service of the regional administration.
The choice of the site for the construction of the Ecotechnopark was dictated by the need to create an integrated MSW management system on the territory of the Lipetsk Region, including the treatment, disposal, recycling and disposal of waste. The regional administration considered several sites as a potential location for the ecotechnopark. When choosing a site, the criteria of environmental and sanitary legislation were taken into account, including remoteness from settlements, the results of geological surveys, transport accessibility, the absence of restrictions associated with the operation of airfields and other facilities.
During the construction and operation of the Ecotechnopark, modern technologies will be used: isolation of the landfill body with a geomembrane, a system for collecting and cleaning the leachate, briquetting into a film, which exclude a negative impact on the environment and public health. The use of waste incineration technologies is not foreseen.
The projected facility will fully comply with the requirements of federal legislation, including it will be included in the federal scheme for the management of MSW (PPK “Russian Environmental Operator”), will undergo a state environmental review at the Central Office of Rosprirodnadzor, a construction review of the Ministry of Construction of Russia and a procedure for public discussions.
The new facility will receive waste from the Central Zone of the regional operator – the city of Lipetsk, Lipetsk, Zadonsky and Khlevensky districts of the region. The possibility of receiving waste from other regions is excluded, the regional administration emphasized.
The construction of the ecotechnopark will be carried out at the expense of the regional budget, which will not entail an increase in the payment of citizens.
The created object will be the property of Lipetsk region, and its operation will be carried out by the relevant services and specialists under the control of the regional administration.
Currently, waste from Lipetsk and Lipetsk region is disposed of at the Tsentrolit landfill, which has exhausted its capabilities and is the reason for numerous complaints from citizens about unpleasant odor. From 2023, it is planned to decommission the landfill and its further reclamation.
