|
 Reps and Rreshen, Albania - In line with donor approval from July 2009, the Albanian Hot Spot Project, in frame of the WBEP, started with activities for remediation of the tailings in Reps and Rreshen.
Two neglected tailings in northern Albania were identified and evaluated (in UNEP report from 2008) as a priority sites requiring emergency works to be conducted, i) Reps - four abandoned tailings facilities continuously pollute the local river; subject of the remediation works will be the tailing 3; ii) Rreshen - due to a failure of the water diversion structures at the tailing the stability of the tailings dam is unstable and needs urgent repair.

Starting clean up works at Balez |

Balez, Albania – Central Chemical Storehouse at BalezIn line with donor approval from July 2009, the Albanian Hot Spot Project in frame of the WBEP started with activities for clean-up of Balez chemical storehouse. In 2008 a national hotspots identification program implemented by UNDP and funded by the Netherlands Government identified the chemical storage site of Balez and a number of other related chemical storage sites of concern. The Ministry of Industry and Energetics (now the Ministry of Economy, Transport and Energy), therefore arranged for the identification and repackaging of dangerous materials in premises under their jurisdiction, and their transport to a central storage site in the village of Balez, close to the city of Elbasan. Today, the Balez chemical storage house contains approximately 140 tonnes of mixed chemical wastes collected from a number of other temporary stockpiles.

The hot spot in Bajza is cleaned up |
|
|
Bajza, Albania - Cleaning up works at the railway station in Bajza finished on 11th September, 2009.
Bajza is the last railway station in Albania before the frontier with Montenegro, so its acts as a customs control point. There is no passenger traffic, but two freight trains pass through daily with approximately 10,000 t of freight being handled each month. The station is located at the shore of trans-boundary Shkoder (Skadar) Lake – the largest lake on the Balkan Peninsula that both Albania and Montenegro have officially designated as a cross-border protected area of Shkoder/Skader Lake together with Buna/Bojana River. During the early 1990s hazardous chemical waste (old pesticides) was exported to Albania by train. Most of the hazardous waste could be shipped back, but part of the load was discharged at the platforms and was stored at Bajza station.

Rezultatet e Vlerësimit Paraprak Mjedisor në Bajzë |
|
|
 Mbi bazën e analizave kimike të kryera nga kompania Montec në stacionin hekurudhor të Bajzës rezulton se anjë nga komponentet organike të identifikuar në kampione dheu të marra pranën stacionit të trenit nuk janë pesticide. Sasia e tyre nuk mund të përcaktohet dhe mbi bazën e njohurive aktuale ata nuk përbëjnë ndonjë rrezik për mjedisin apo për njerëzit që të kërkojë marrjen e masave riparuese. Mbi bazën e analizave të kryera në kampione uji rezulton se analiza kuantitative e kloro-organikëve nuk paraqet ndonjë përqendrim të pesticideve mbi limitin e lejuar.

Pastrimi i pikes se nxehte mjedisore te Bajzes |
|
|
Bajza eshte nje qytet i vogel (Komuna e Kastratit) e vendosur ne pjesen veriore te Shqiperise, rreth 15 km larg nga qyteti i Shkodres. Stacioni hekurudhor i Bajzes ndodhet ne breg te liqenit nderkufitar te Shkodres dhe i gjithe transporti hekurudhor per ne dhe nga Mali i Zi, gjithashtu edhe pika doganore kalon nga stacioni hekurudhor i Bajzes. Ne fillimet e viteve 1990 nje sasi prej 200- 250 ton pesticidesh te skaduara (Rrogor, vofatox, nogos, selinon, novakrom, spitsornit, 2-4 D, fugorat, sevin, lindan, etj.), kimikate industriale dhe materiale te tjera u bashkuan dhe u depozituan ne magazinen e stacionit hekurudhor te Bajzes. Origjina e pesticideve nuk eshte shume e qarte, megjithate, gjate viteve 1991-1992, kompania Gjermane Schmidt-Cretan importoi dhe magazinoi perkohesisht ne Bajze 480 ton kimikate te rrezikshme. Nga keto kimikate, me te rrezikshmet ishin toxaphene dhe phenyl mercury acetate, te dyja te ndaluara ne BE nga viti 1983. Edhe pse pjesa me e madhe e ketyre pesticideve u kthyen ne Gjermani ne vitin 1993 per shkaterrim te sigurt, banoret nga zonat perreth moren fucite te cilat i zbrazen direkt ne stacionin e trenit dhe neper magazine. Gjithashtu eshte raportuan se shume dele te cilat kullosnin rreth magazines dhe ne pjesen kodrinore te stacionit hekurudhor, kane ngordhur pas ketij incidenti. Per me teper, ne vitet e mevonme peshkataret e liqenit te Shkodres kane raportuar ngordhje ne mase te peshkut ne liqen. Nepermjet ketij Projekti synohet rehabilitimi i plote i pikes se nxehte mjedisore te Bajzes.
