Department of Land Protection - Diffuse Pollution Team

Cooperation offer

• Laboratory tests concerning:
  
  • physicochemical properties of furnace wastes from power plants to determine environmentally safe use or disposal,
  • the quality of pore water, surface water, groundwater, soil, and landfill gas in the vicinity of power plant waste landfills and in the area of impact of power plant emissions,
  • the content of macronutrients and trace metals (including Hg, As, Ag, V, Sb) in waste and leachate.
• Projects of the local water measurement network and monitoring of its execution. Monitoring of soil, groundwater and surface water, and landfill gas, creating a database and evaluating the results.
• Developing methods and guidelines for industrial waste landfill design, remediation of polluted areas, and hazardous waste disposal (liquid and solid) using waste materials as sorbent and insulating materials.
• Optimization and development of modern solutions in the field of industrial and municipal waste management.
• Preparation of the documents required for the issuance of a permit under water law for water abstraction and wastewater disposal.
• Expert opinions and projects on the use of power plant ashes and other inorganic and organic waste materials as permeable barriers in landfills for hard coal and other sulphide reactive waste.
• Evaluation of the physicochemical properties of coal mining and other industrial solid wastes with respect to short- and long-term environmental impacts, and guidelines for environmentally safe use and disposal.
• Evaluation of power plant wastes and the conditions required for their environmentally safe use underground in abandoned and active mines, for backfilling tunnels, constructing dams, preventing fires and methane hazards, reducing ground surface deformation, and facilitating the ventilation system.
