Gasworks Clean-up in Kosovo
Die Herausforderung
The key objective of the Clean-up and Land Reclamation Project (CLRP) was to improve the overall environmental situation by mitigation of the environmental damages caused by inadequate overburden and ash dumping practice in the past five decades of lignite mining and lignite based power generation, including collection and elimination of some 20,000 t of hazardous waste stored at the shut-down gasification plant adjacent to the Kosovo. The waste represented an environmental hazard due to potential deterioration of the storage facilities with the risk of spills and contamination of soil, groundwater and surface water.
