Lawyer pleased with Hulst decision on Bergfolder Dyke: ‘Step forward’

The municipality of Hulst partially fulfilled the so-called enforcement request from farmers. Rijkswaterstad must come up with a definite plan by July 1, 2022. If this does not happen, a fine of மில்லியன் 5 million will be imposed.

Recognition of land misused

Attorney Horsner acknowledges Hulst’s decision that hot-cleaned soil (TWA) should not be used under any circumstances: “Despite numerous reports from various authorities, the government acknowledges that the canal should not have been built with this soil, although it has already been discovered and is now new.” It is also important to note that the municipality of Hulst claims that Rijkswaterstad may or may not have known in advance that the Soil Conservation Act would be violated. That recognition is very important. “

As the matter has been going on for more than five years, the lawyer would have wanted the proceedings to be implemented expeditiously. Although the municipality does not agree with the second required excavation, it still considers the result a success. “Still, I’m considering objecting to this decision because the municipality is asking the offender to come up with a solution,” Horschner said. “It’s like a cop asking a crook how to solve his crime.”

What’s wrong with the dyke in Perkfolder?

Heat-treated soil was used during dyke construction between Perkfolder and Walsurden in 2014-2015. That soil, a mixture of tar asphalt and contaminated soil, should be kept clean after heating. But toxins were still found in Bergfolder and elsewhere in the Netherlands, where they could infiltrate groundwater. So a complete trench was dug near Bunschoten. An item is 34 million euros.

Edwin de Feijter of Rijkswaterstaat says Hulst’s decision must first be carefully reviewed by the legal department. However, he would like to say that the primary purpose of Rijkswatersdat is to combat pollution from the trench. In addition, according to De Fijter, scenarios are already being developed to deal with the problem. Rijkswaterstad asked Royal Haskong to create several options that are currently being explored. Rijkswaterstaat now have Hulst’s end and end date with a stick behind the door in the form of a penalty.
