Question 1986 — waste

Summary

Mr. Bruno Fuchs draws the attention of the Minister of State, Minister of Ecological and Inclusive Transition, to the consequences posed by the storage of waste stored in the galleries of the former Joseph-Else well, located in his department in Wittelsheim, by the public interest group StocaMine. Between 1997 and 2002, more than 44,000 tonnes of non-recyclable industrial waste were stored in the old disused mines of the Potash from Alsace. In March 2017, the state authorized the removal of 93% of the 2,200 tonnes of the most toxic mercury waste and authorized the storage “for an unlimited period” of the remaining waste. In order to prevent any flooding of the storage area likely to pollute the largest water table in Europe, a containment, dams and drainage system will be put in place at a total cost of 100 million euros. There The vast majority of local elected officials are not satisfied with this decision and recommend a total removal of waste. Also, he wishes to be clarified the constraints, difficulties and risks that the extraction of all the waste would present, as well as the details of the protection measures envisaged in the long term. For the sake of transparency, he asks it to set up a participatory monitoring committee made up of experts and of elected officials who would examine the various possible options and be able to monitor the final phases of the project.
