Description

The aim of the project is to establish an improved system for the management of contaminated sites, replacing the current contaminated site register and paper information flow with a comprehensive digitization of information and data submission, verification and acceptance process.

Planned activities are:

  • exchange of experience on integrated management model/system register
  • establishment of an integrated pollution management system:
    • digitization of the contaminated site register, including information and data submission, verification and acceptance process;
    • development of open data solutions, ensuring system integration with data of other state information systems;
  • inventory and updating of the existing register of contaminated and potentially contaminated sites:
    • inventory of geo-ecological research reports in the State geological Fund archive;
    • evaluation of data available in research reports;

Benefits:

• more efficient and faster flow of information, less administrative burden in general, high quality data on contaminated sites;

• development of a database on a comprehensive system for collecting information on contaminated sites, fully digitized CPCS management process (registration of contaminated sites, survey data, monitoring information);

• digitally available information on CPCS to state institutions, local governments, licensed entrepreneurs such as licensed geoecological (remediation) performers and the society.

• assessment of contaminated sites have been performed by qualified and competent environmental workers in accordance with a common methodology;

• information on contaminated sites is regularly updated in the database of contaminated sites.
