Die onverkwiklike stryd wat Wellington-inwoners die afgelope maande gevoer het met die Drakenstein-munisipaliteit en die maatskappy wat die dorp se vullis wil verbrand en in energie wil omskep, is nou vinnig besig om tot \u2019n einde te kom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die finale omgewingsimpakverslag oor die gebruik van \u2019n verbrandingsoond in Wellington is pas uitgereik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Drakenstein Enviromental Watch (DEW), die organisasie wat deur Wellington-inwoners gestig is om die stryd teen die beoogde oond in Wellington te voer, moet inwoners voor 4 Desember finaal op die verslag kommentaar lewer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bernus van der Westhuizen, voorsitter van die bestuur van DEW, s\u00ea die organisasie staan steeds die oprigting van \u2019n vullisverbrander teen. \u201cDEW staan egter nie bloot op die kantlyn en skree teen die oprigting van \u2019n verbandingsoond nie. Ons is deeglik bewus van die probleem van groeiende volumes afval en daarom is DEW een van die partye wat \u2019n praktiese oplossing vir hierdie groot probleem soek. Ons huldig ook die standpunt dat die oplossing nie bloot daarin l\u00ea om \u2019n verbandingsoond in Wellington op te rig nie. Hierdie is \u2019n streeksprobleem en dit moet so aangespreek word. Al die munisipaliteite van die Wynlandstreek en dalk selfs die Kaapse Metropool moet saam na die probleem van vullishante\u00adring kyk.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Van der Westhuizen is dit baie duidelik dat die finale impakverslag daarop gemik is om die organisasies wat gemoeid is met die oprigting van die oond by Wellington se behoeftes en voorkeure te bevredig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKriteria soos die beskikbaarheid van dienste en die visuele impak van die aanleg op die omgewing behoort meer gewig te dra. Dit is egter heeltemal ge\u00efgnoreer in die finale verslag. Eintlik behoort \u2019n potensi\u00eble perseel vir so \u2019n oond by Klapmuts voorkeur te geniet. Interwaste, die organisasie wat die oond gaan bedryf, s\u00ea 39% van die vullis wat benodig word om die oond ekonomies winsgewend te bedryf, sal uit Stellenbosch kom. Drakenstein gaan maar 28% van die totale volume vullis kan voorsien. Met die vervoerprobleme in gedagte is dit duidelik dat so \u2019n aanleg baie nader aan Stellenbosch as aan Wellington moet wees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns wil dus weet waarom Wellington Interwaste se eerste keuse vir die oprigting van die oond is. Dit maak duidelik nie sin nie. Die oond is naby die Bergrivier en dis te naby aan ho\u00ebdigtheidwoongebiede, skolesport\u00adgeriewe en intensiewe boerdery\u00adaktiwiteite.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DEW staan daarby dat die geweldige openbare teenstand teen die oprigting van \u2019n oond by Wellington nou die nodige aandag moet ontvang. Daar moet nou ernstig na \u2019n haalbare, omgewings\u00advriendeliker oplossing vir die probleem gesoek word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Met die oog daarop verwerp die gemeenskap soos verteenwoordig deur DEW die finale impakstudie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
DEW sal ook voortgaan om die oprigting van \u2019n vullisverbander by Wellington teen te staan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
