Horrible scenes of waste at the dam: Will the authorities react in time?

Unbelievable amounts of garbage, waste, sludge, remains of houses and objects from them after heavy rains, floods and landslides are collected in front of the Grabovica and Jablanica Hydroelectric Power Plant.

In the waste  in front of the dam in Grabovica , as we noted in our photos, objects from homes that were destroyed in landslides are also visible.

The team  of the Federal Water Inspectorate  visited the field with, as it was announced, “a special focus on the cleaning of sediments and the endangerment of reservoirs in the Neretva valley”.

“On that occasion, together with the mobile team  of Elektroprivreda BiH , they visited the reservoirs and noted that all  floating waste  is collected by the dam at  HPP Grabovica  and  HPP Jablanica , and that Elektroprivreda BiH has a contract with an authorized company for the removal of  this  type of waste .

The activity of collecting floating waste will  continue until further notice , and currently no consequences for hydroelectric power plants have been recorded,” the press release states.

From  FUZIP , they add that  the federal water inspectors , in order to prevent the unloading  of solid waste  into watercourses, reservoirs and on the shores at the locations where  rehabilitation is carried out , issued a recommendation to mark the location for the landfill of solid stone and earth material as soon as possible  , with the aim of prevention of  damage to hydropower plants , possible blockages or new floods due to raising the level of watercourses by depositing waste in watercourses and on the banks, writes  Bljesak .
