“There was suspicion about the building of the farm, it was inspected, the capacity was discovered, the suspicion arose that, perhaps, from there. Today, the elderly staff will unload that room because the owner is dead and there are no new owners. Then it will be seen whether from there or not, ”says Ričardas Kašėta, head of the Kretinga Environmental Protection Inspectorate of the Klaipėda Board of the Department of Environmental Protection.
The interlocutor does not hide the fact that the detected pipe through which the pollutants flowed into the water is a long-standing drain pipe. It belongs to the state. How the fuel from the furnace got into it, so far there are only assumptions, it is not clear if this is an intentional human activity or if the tanks that have rotted over time simply explode without human help.
“Anything can be, the assumption that pollutants spread without human help is being investigated. Yesterday about 70 cubic meters of contaminated water were collected. The contamination continues, so the damage has not yet been calculated,” says R. Kašėta.
The head of the Kretinga Environmental Inspection says the good news is that pollutants did not enter the river.
“The contamination did not enter the river, the pollutants escaped into the two ponds and the contamination stopped there,” says the interlocutor.
It is expected to clarify the origin of the contamination in the near future. Olga Vebrienė, head of the Department of Environmental Protection, indicated on her Facebook account that the Klaipedos Vandenai robot, which can work underground, was used to help find the source of contamination. The device already has “experience” in the investigation of ecological disasters: the same robot worked in the pipes of Grigeo.
