They appealed to the administration of Alexander Lukashenko and the local city council with collective letters to present their claims. The answer has been received from the executive committee, but it is disappointing. In a letter signed by the chairman of the executive committee Baranski Basil Rusakov said only that the CHP building on local fuels program provides for the development of the energy system in Belarus, adopted in 2007, and that "the level of pollution of air emissions and wastewater meets standards."
However, the objective details of how harmful impact will the new power station to the city is not known. Therefore, they asked the chairman to contribute to the public was the information about how harmful are emissions from combustion of peat crumbs, and present the findings of the environmental assessment. These requests were ignored. Authors robin just a fait accompli: CHP building is completed later this year.
Particularly concerned about the construction of a new thermal power station residents Zarechnoj street. Here and high-rise buildings, and the private sector - and it is literally across the road is elevated white-blue industrial building. According to the plan, the new plant will run on peat and wood. The plan is to burn 35-37 thousand tons of peat crumbs that will carry over 45 kilometers in Orsha district of neighboring - Tolochinsky.
"The route chosen by the leadership of construction CHP runs through the town center and residential area, although it is possible to transport fuel to detour around the factory" Communication equipment "- written by residents of Barani in a letter sent to the administration of Alexander Lukashenko. They ask that the route for the transportation of the fuel has been modified. And above all - to have public hearings. After all, residents Barani seriously worried and waste disposal, and then, will the clean air in the vicinity, as in one of the closest yards - kindergarten.
Response from the administration of Alexander Lukashenko residents Barani expected not later than mid-September. In general, they were hoping for its arrival, the deputy city council Baranski Mikhasev Victor: "They said that Alexander Lukashenko may come open this CHP. In general, the situation is explained by the lack of information: the townspeople do not say what is being done in our sheep. Construction was a long time ago, hanging sign is being built, "CHP". The word "mini", apparently, and comforting - say, something small, harmless ... And then people read something, someone there were relatives or friends in Rechitza where a "CHP" is already built. And told our that this is a huge subject and it is not so harmless for the environment. Therefore, we first wrote a letter to the City Council, gathered under the 20 signatures. And then - and the presidential administration. There are more than 70 people signed up. It was possible to collect a few thousand signatures, as people are outraged that their opinion or simply set at naught! "
By the way, one CHP in the Barany already have - gas, with high white-red-white trumpets. But residents explained that its capacity exceeds the needs of consumers: gas thermal power station was built with the expectation of a large enterprise, the company "Forest", which has now turned into a small factory "Communication equipment".
However, the old CHP will not turn off, it just will translate into saving mode. After all, to stop her, and then, if necessary, re-run will cost a lot of money. Here, next to the old generation station and erect a new one, the so-called "local kinds of fuel."
Baran Residents would also like to get to know the calculations of economists, how profitable will be the new energy facility. After taking into account the depreciation of the old thermal power station equipment, transportation of fuel cost of the neighborhood and so on.
