It’s about housing Wola Libre Street. 20 camp in Warsaw. They have created the six-two buildings with about 300 apartments. In June, however, the work was halted. And a few days ago, the residents of blocks adjacent to the construction site received from the investor, that is, the company BPI Poland, the message to resume work, together with the fact that due to contamination of parts of the land, it will be exported. It picks up on the warning that in the course of the work does not approach the fence and not open the windows and balcony doors come out of the investment area. This alarmed residents who, to explain the matter, began to intervene in the various offices and services.
Residents: we expect reliable information
– This one really does not tell us what that really is in the ground next door, and this information is not to open the windows, everything will be fine – it’s a embarrassment. We not bought homes here, not cheap to live now as a bomb. We expect reliable information about what is happening here and will happen – tells us Mrs. Beata, one of the residents of a nearby block. – Soon it gets warmer, our children will want to play outside, ride a bicycle. Will they be safe? Therefore we do not know – bothers Mr. Thomas, who also lives in this area.
So what is the It’s contaminated ground? – As commissioned by our research shows that there are primarily oils and related substances as well as some heavy metals. Comparing aerial plot investments both before the war and the post-war years, it can be assumed that in this industrial activity was conducted. The study allowed us to accurately determine the location of the historical pollution. All substances found are the pollution of land, however, are fully removable – says Wojciech Onetowi Smolak, director of the Department of Sales and Marketing BPI Poland.
more specifically, there has been detected include chlorobenzenes, polychlorinated naphthalene, chlorophenols, cresols, oils and gasoline, and heavy metals such as zinc, lead, barium and arsenic. Some of them are toxic and in direct contact can be highly irritating and stinging. In other words – can be hazardous to your health.
will dig four meters down
in the case of communication on this subject gave the Regional Inspectorate for Environmental Protection in Warsaw. “The contractor has started on 8 June 2015. Earthworks on the basis of a final decision on the construction permit issued by the Mayor of Warsaw. After colliding with soil contamination on 18-19 June 2015. Construction work has been suspended, and trench construction secured with foil and impermeable soil. There has also been monitoring the quality of air, soil and ground water “- reads the information.
Regional Director of Environmental Protection in Warsaw later in June of last year, at the request of a representative of the investor, established for this property remediation plan, which is cleaning and removal of contaminants from the soil. It depends, among others, on mining land not pełniających quality standards, to a depth of at least 4.2 meters. Trench is then to be filled in properly compacted clean aggregate. The surface of the polluted area is 1,450 square meters.
In addition, as determined WIOŚ performed there were also quality measurements air from 10 to 22 July and from August 4 to 24 September 2015. “The scope of the research included the determination of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene (total isomers) and other volatile organic compounds in the air in attempts hour average. The resulting values do not exceed permissible concentrations instantaneous. Additionally, a study of soil at the construction site and prepared a report including for companies, which will carry out remedial work “- reads WIOŚ.
Meeting of staff crisis
in connection with this whole situation, for today was scheduled meeting in the Office of Security Crisis Management and Capital City Warsaw with representatives of the city, sanepidu, environmental protection, police and other services. – Organized it in order to coordinate prescribed process of land reclamation to posprawdzać all procedures and to make sure that everything will be guaranteeing full safety of residents of the surrounding buildings – says Onetowi Jaroslaw Jozwiak, deputy mayor of Warsaw.
In his view, these chemicals are on the property for over 70 years. – Here, before the war housed the factory of paints and varnishes, which was demolished after the war. It’s probably those times come these contaminants. It is not known until the end, how they got there, but remember that if the standards for the storage of such materials were not as strict as today. This exported contaminated land already here will not come back, so all in all, this process will be to the benefit of the people. It is worth noting that this is only the ground is contaminated, not the air. These contaminants do not affect directly on the neighboring property. There is also the danger that the taps will flow contaminated water, because everyone in this part of the city use municipal water – calms vice president.
They move first work
tense situation tries appease the developer. – We understand the concerns of the neighbors of our investment. Therefore, when the summer of 2015 years, we found that soil conditions existing at the start of construction Wola Libre does not correspond to those which we expected at the beginning of the investment, all work has stopped, and the construction site was secured. In order to determine the cause commissioned to carry out detailed studies of international specialized in this company – explains Wojciech Smolak of BPI Poland.
As pointed out by our interlocutor, to carry out work related to the removal of contaminants have been entrusted Menard company that specializes in remediation. Their plan was presented to the relevant institutions and the work will be carried out under their supervision. Today started preparatory work. The plot appeared the truck. This week will set the containers for construction workers and equipment will be supplied, which will be used during remediation work. These are to be carried out in hours. 6-18.
– To ensure full safety of all the residents of nearby buildings, we will take a variety of actions, including among others assembly point for the cleaning of cars leaving the site, degassing by specially designed for the extraction of air ground equipped with air filters, installation of temporary tents in designated areas of the site – including the areas adjacent to the existing building settlements Mills Kings and plaster Bud 1 and the installation of a monitoring system to control the air quality – lists Wojciech Smolak.
protective clothing for employees only
– I would once again reassure neighbors – the substances found are the pollution of land, however, are fully removable and do not endanger the health and safety of persons that do not have direct contact with them. Impurities are in precise locations and depths. Devices in the appropriate clothing and protective equipment with which they ask some residents, so it is only required in the case of staff involved in the process of remediation – says a representative of BPI Poland.
– Request not to open windows and doors is a recommendation from our side, as an additional precaution. It applies only to housing, which open directly into the investment. In the case of the estate Wola Terraces recommendation applies only to the western façade of the building, and only during the time of extraction associated with the removal of contaminated soil. All the disadvantages associated with the process of cleaning the land cease after pouring the foundation slab, which will be made gradually as the work progresses – adds Wojciech Smolak.
Director concludes that the planned works have advised local residents in the list, followed by the newsletter, prepared in connection with a number of questions about the work. This newsletter will be sent regularly to the people, telling them to keep the successive stages of the work associated with cleaning the ground. Especially for communication with their neighbors, the company has also launched an e-mail: info@wolalibre.pl to which you can send any additional questions.
remediation works are to last three to four months. Then will begin the construction of settlements.
