Research of the Nubarashen waste burial is nearing completion, Director General of Ecotech Polska LLC Dominik Wojewodka told ArmInfo.
To recall, Ecotech signed a Memorandum with the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Armenia in December 2010 to disinfect the Nubarashen waste dump. Dominik Wojewodka said that it is a framework agreement and does not imply action plan yet. Since international experts have not analyzed the danger level of the waste burial and the nearby area, the project's implementation is continued. Weather conditions tangible affected the work as well, Dominik Wojewodka said.
At present, the research of the burial conducted by the Emergency Situations Ministry of Armenia is nearing completion. After the analysis of the laboratory data we will be able to find out the volume of the waste to be disinfected. Afterwards, we will present the schedule and financial estimate, he explained. Wojewodka said that the company plans to conduct a significant part of work directly on the burial in Nubarashen in order to minimize transportation of the waste. Ecotech plans to conduct the work with the Armenian partner - Ecoprotect LLC. Since 1996 Ecotech company has been engaged in assembly and technological launch of pumping stations as well as systems of household and industrial waste. The Nubarashen toxic waste dump was built in 1976 by the decision of the USSR Council of Ministers. It is located in an active landslide zone not far from the reserve of wild cereals. A total of 600 tons of toxic pesticides were buried directly in the ground, including 512 tons of first and second hazard class.
