Responsible organisations:
Voivode of Warsaw Province, Voivode of Skierniewice Province, Provincial
Fund of Environmental Protection in Warsaw, Ministry of Environmental
Protection, Natural Resources and Forestry.
Description:
Results of the study entitled "Masterplan for Restoration of the Utrata
River" were used, and additional, more specific data were collected in
order to characterize the remediation site. Criteria for potential
applicable remediation techniques were listed and restoration alternatives
were summarized. Finally, selection of proper technology was made.
Objectives:
To develop a sediment restoration strategy that will improve the water
quality of the Utrata River in the vicinity of Chopin Memorial House at
Zelazowa Wola.
Issues addressed:
Sediment remediation, recontamination and financing.
Results achieved:
Applicable technology for remediation has been identified. Sediment removal
and disposal seemed to be the most viable option for the Zelazowa Wola area.
It was recommended that mechanical dredging should be used. Different
options have been identified for controlling contaminant release during
dredging. Some pollution control measures have been proposed, in order to
minimise recontamination of the restored area. A conceptual plan for
restoration has been made.
Financing:
Japan Special Fund - technical assistance.
