particularities Toxic waste dump

The Eyller Berg (also Eyllsche-Berg ) is a formerly 63 m, today up to 77 m high Ice Age terminal moraines - Inselberg south of the Lower Rhine Heights in the Wesel district in North Rhine-Westphalia . It is located in the south of Kamp-Lintfort near the municipal border with Neukirchen-Vluyn and has been used as a landfill for decades . The surface shape of the almost forest-free mountain is almost completely artificially reshaped and is still changing.

To the north-west of the mountain lie the former moated castle Haus Eyll and the listed Eyll parish church . North-east of the mountain, in the area of ​​the unfinished Geldern – Sevelen – Utfort railway line , is the “Eyller Berg” motocross race track. The 1950 inaugurated tradition complex is in a conservation area and therefore must be driven per year only on two dates: during the International ADAC -Motocross race on May 1, and training days in October.

Dismantling

At the beginning of the 20th century, the mountain was first used as a gravel pit . The mined clays , sands and gravels were mostly used as construction and backfill material for the neighboring Friedrich Heinrich hard coal mine . Material from the Eyller Berg was also used in the construction of the federal motorway 40 , which runs a few kilometers to the south . Through the excavations were two formerly existing on the mountain and cultural monument standing tumuli destroyed.

Landfill

After the Second World War - over several decades and divided into different landfill sections - the abandoned pit areas were backfilled and the mountain was refilled. This was mainly done with household waste , bulky waste and building rubble from the city of Kamp-Lintfort (municipal landfill from 1960 to 1975) as well as with tailings ( washing mountains , sludge) and coking plant rubble from the neighboring Friedrich Heinrich colliery ( RAG landfill operation from 1960 to 1990). Furthermore, fecal sludge from LINEG was deposited on the Eyller Berg (operation from the 1960s to 1982).

From the 1970s, the south-eastern area of ​​the mountain was gradually converted into a class III hazardous waste landfill operated privately by the Ossendot Group . Among other things, large parts of the heavy metal-containing electroplating sludge from all over North Rhine-Westphalia are stored on the Eyller Berg . This landfill has been owned by Eyller-Berg Abfallbeseitigungsgesellschaft mbH (EBA), an Ossendot subsidiary, since 1993.

There have been and still are several legal disputes and political disputes over the legality of the operation of the EBA landfill. This includes, among other things, operating permits and their design, immission control and waste law requirements and applications, landfill heights to be complied with and permitted landfill volumes, recultivation requirements , the discharge of environmental toxins and harmful substances, as well as responsibilities and omissions by supervisory authorities .

In 1999, the consortium EBA / Ossendot Environmental Protection GmbH submitted an application to the Düsseldorf district government for the construction of an additional chemical-physical waste treatment plant (CPB plant) on the landfill site. This application was then suspended and then revised several times. Ten years later he became known to a wider public after the Bund für Umwelt und Naturschutz Deutschland (BUND) wrote a critical opinion on the procedure in April 2009 and then wrote a fire letter to the Ministry of the Environment in North Rhine-Westphalia . The BUND NRW addressed the planned CPB system, the pollution associated with its operation and the lack of approval in its opinion. In June 2009 the local Neue Rhein Zeitung reported for the first time on the CPB plans. The Eyller Berg Neukirchen-Vluyn / Kamp-Lintfort Citizens' Initiative for Toxic Waste Landfill was founded and has since been campaigning for the closure of the landfill together with other groups.

Approval for the CPB facility is scheduled for November 2012.

2012 reported several TV programs on the landfill problem on Eyller Mountain, including Frontal21 , ZDFinfo and the WDR local time .
