    KAPAN, MAY 17, NOYAN TAPAN. The greenish-yellow waste waters from the
    tailing dump of the former Kapan ore mining and processing enterprise,
    currently Dino Gold Mining Company flew into the land plots of some
    residents of the Syunik rural community and into a small river flowing
    through the nearby village.

    The villagers expressed their concern to the company management
    and ecologists that the animals drinking water from the river may
    suffer. Head of the Syunik regional environmental protection inspection
    Levon Petrosian told NT correspondent that the local residents
    sent a letter to the company management, damanding that it should
    rectify the situation within 20 days. "If no appropriate measures
    are taken within the indicated period, the case will go to court,"
    the inspection head said. At the same time, L. Petrosian informed NT
    correspondent that the waste waters were examined in the laboratory
    of the inspection and no dangerous elements were found. According to
    him, a 5-7 km section of the river bed from the tailing dump to the
    main waste disposal site should be changed into a closed system to
    prevent any harm to the environment.
