Question 12494 — dangerous products

Summary

Mr. Benjamin Lucas-Lundy questions the Minister of Ecological Transition, Biodiversity and International Negotiations on Climate and Nature on the request for environmental authorization concerning the hazardous waste storage facility (ISDD) operated by EMTA, located in Guitrancourt. This project concerns a facility classified for environmental protection, intended to accommodate hazardous waste from activities industrial, the management of which presents significant risks for the environment and human health. The site is notably located in an area identified as a water resource vulnerability zone (“CVO2”), close to drinking water catchments, which reinforces the challenges linked to the prevention of soil, water and air pollution. Such installations can also constitute a danger to the health of populations. residents and generate various nuisances, notably olfactory and auditory, as well as impacts on the living environment and the value of land. It is also located within the perimeter of the French Vexin regional natural park and linked to a natural zone of ecological, fauna and flora interest (ZNIEFF), which further reinforces the environmental issues of the project. The facility already accommodates approximately 720,000 tonnes of waste per year, including 200,000 tonnes of hazardous waste on average, which can reach 300,000 tonnes per year depending on the thresholds requested. The project provides for the creation of a hazardous waste stabilization unit with a maximum capacity of 50,000 tonnes per year, leading to the classification of the site as Seveso high threshold by accumulation rule. The request provides for operation of the site until 2040. However, upon reading the file submitted to the public inquiry, the technical means essential to preventing these risks, in particular the stabilization unit, are only described for a limited period of approximately three years (2026-2029). No precise solution is clearly presented for the future, even though the control of these risks should be thought out and guaranteed today over the entire requested period. Furthermore, the Regional Health Agency d'Île-de-France has issued a reserved opinion on this project, emphasizing in particular the need to strengthen the guarantees concerning the protection of water resources and to seek the opinion of an approved hydrogeologist. For its part, the Environmental Authority noted several inadequacies in the justification of the temporary nature of the stabilization unit and made recommendations on water monitoring, nuisances and public information. He questions her about her position on this subject.
