13-04-2012 17:55:53 | Armenia | Social
The stationing of the crushing and sorting complex in Sotq is illegal.
This is EcoLur's position expressed in the official letter for the
working group of Nature Protection Ministry of Armenia. The working
group was established by the order of Nature Protection Minister Aram
Harutyunyan and PM Tigran Sargsyan's assignment for the examination of
stationing the crushing and sorting complex in Sotq by GeoProMining
Gold Company.
EcoLur President worked as the member of the working group on the
recommendation of the Alliance of Public Environmental Organizations.
The official letter particularly says, `I think that a) the stationing
of the crushing and sorting complex in the drainage territory of Lake
Sevan is illegal, as the crushing and sorting complex is an ore
processing object, which significantly increases harmful environmental
impact taking into consideration that it is included in the drainage
area of Lake Sevan and contradicts to Article 10 of RA Law `On Lake
Sevan' and b) the process of crushing and sorting complex construction
was a planned activity, which was implemented in 2011, and not
implemented earlier in line with the project for 1988. Consequently,
the project is subject to environmental impact expert assessment in
accordance with Article 1 of Chapter 2 of RA Law `On Environmental
Impact Expert Assessment' and c) the State Environmental Inspection
should carry out the examination of this complex, to reveal all the
existing violations, i.e. increased impact on environment as regards
with dust, its content in environment - water and soil, environmental
dissemination of heavy metals and toxic elements and compounds and to
draw up an appropriate act, and d) to dismantle the object.'
