The Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources investigated the case promptly on the site and during the monitoring of the quarry located in the vicinity of the establishment discovered that required re-cultivation works had not been fully implemented in the sites the exploitation of which had finalized, irrigation required for the elimination of dust emissions during operation was not done, the motor mechanisms of the wagons were not controlled accordingly, and as a result the dust drifted to the neighborhood. With regard to the abovementioned, an act was prepared in respect of the responsible companies and the managements of those companies were given compulsory assignments to eliminate the observed shortcomings within the given period of time and the implementation of the given assignments were kept under supervision. However, this issue has not been solved yet. The Commissioner calls the relevant bodies to consider the case seriously.
