“Arselormittal” gave the answers to the remarks of the SPKR to the report on ATS of reconstruction of tailing “IV map”. They are more like manipulation, hiding information, and other uncertain promises.

The enterprise reported that drainage system and a number of wells were constructed to protect against the flooding and contamination of the water. But flooding and salinization wells are already now. Thus, the current measures are insufficient, and we emphasized. But more effective measures are not envisaged during the subsequent exploitation of the tailing store. Moreover: “АMKР” notes that they will restore the work of drainage stations. So admit that now the system is not working? So the terrain suffers from underflooded?

Remarks about the inadmissibility visually determine the need for dust suppression “Arcelor” took. And promised to fix surface sawing, bischofite every 30 days in the period from March to November. However, last week (i.e. in April) The ecology management of the City Executive Committee, the same enterprise reported that they would start to carry out dust suppression measures only in summer. Is it the “Arcella” change plans from week to week, or is it remanipulation?

The other answers were more like an excuse to a schoolboy. On the observations of the DTKR on the lack of studies of the impact on land fertility through pollination of silicon dioxide, AICR simply said that in the annexes to the reports there are monitoring studies. Although we indicated a deficiency of researches in the zone of influence of tailing storage, as it was rendered only the results of heavy metal content.

Refused to combine and from recommendation to set the posts of air quality monitoring in the nearest residential areas c. Mirolyubovka or Svystunova. They would have monitored pollution continuously and the results would have been available in a unified system for the entire community. Instead, the promgiant refers to posts that are set for tens of kilometers and fix pollution at other wind directions. Or – for researches that are conducted by their specialists once a month at best, and their results are not published and not systematized.

Regarding the unexplored influence on the ecological network of Dnepropetrovsk region – the enterprise replied simply – at the time of the decision of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Council “on the Ecological Network” in 2006, the tailing pit “IV Karta” already existed. And then the impact has been described. But the company has passed 14 years, and the enterprise is increasing the repository. We were asked to describe exactly the impact of the planned activity.

Thus, the AICR refused to further research the impact on the soils, water and air pollution control in the settlements that fall into the zone of their influence. The enterprise refers to resources and documents that are not available in the public domain. Research on health effects of people not provided. Offer to look for information in the non-released emissions permissions. The information is closed to the public and the local residents and activists are unable to assess neither the impact nor the consequences of the planned activities.

As for the compensation of trees-promise not to remove trees during the continuing exploitation of the tailing, and landscaping the Territory – consider only in the process of reclamation of the land after the possible closure of the “IV map”. But in the nearest plans the further exploitation of existing tailing and construction of new ones – thus, on the territory.

Now we are waiting for the conclusion of the Ministry and Environmental conditions of conducting the planned activities that will make him.
