"B.L.B. Baltijas terminals" still denies its guilt in polluting Kisezers Lake

"B.L.B. Baltijas terminals" still denies being guilty for the pollution in Kisezers Lake, which it claims has not been proven yet by any responsible institution.

"B.L.B. Baltijas terminals" still denies being guilty for the pollution in Kisezers Lake, which it claims has not been proven yet by any responsible institution.

Jevgenija Segale, advisor for environment issues to the company's president, told LETA that there is no document at the disposal of the company proving the fact that "B.L.B. Baltijas terminals" is behind the oil slick in Kisezers.

Segale stressed that the company is cooperating with state and Riga municipal institutions to clarify the circumstances, and a meeting of the company with environmental institutions, has been scheduled for today as well.

Specialists from environmental institutions visited "B.L.B. Baltijas terminals" on weekend, and as a result, the company was designated to continue rehabilitation of its territory, which has been carried out since 1998, Segale said.

The "B.L.B. Baltijas terminals" representative again pointed out that the pollution had came from the rainwater waste pipe, which is under the authority of the Ministry of Transport.

A 10,000 square meter slick was first noticed in the lake on March 5.

The Greater Riga Regional Environmental Administration imposed a LVL 150 fine on "B.L.B. Baltijas terminals" for ground pollution with oil products. Minister of Environment Raimonds Vejonis demanded that the company begin carrying out rehabilitation of the area immediately.

This week, Riga City Council Environment Commission Environment Committee is planning to review the issue of shutting down "B.L.B. Baltijas terminals".

The director of the environment department, Askolds Klavins, believes that the company has been polluting its territory for years. Oil product pollution entered ground water and finally flowed into the lake along with melted snow.

If the company declines to cover the costs of mopping up of oil products, the possibility of shutting down the company could be sought. Klavins believes that it would be improper to demand payment for mopping up the slick from Rigans, if the source of pollution has been determined.
