A Site

In this paper we will describe the practice and siting process for a LILW repository in Slovenia. Slovenia is a small country, and, consequently, its nuclear programme is small. It does include almost everything that large programmes have, but we still do not have a repository. In 2004, the Slovenian Radwaste management agency (ARAO) initiated a new procedure to find a proper location for a LILW repository. ARAO asked all Slovenian communities to participate. All communities have the option to withdraw from the process until they have approved the site. We received eight responses, and we prepared methodologies with different parameters to evaluate all potential sites. All sites were assessed by Slovenian experts, and determinations were based on using prepared methodologies. On the basis of their expert opinions, we prepared a prefeasibility study and chose the three most suitable sites. With these three we continued the process. After that time, one of the communities withdrew from the procedure, and another one reversed its proposed site and proposed a new one. For the third site we continued with the programme, and we prepared a feasibility study with a Strategic Environmental Impact Assessment and preliminary safety calculations for the comparison of different concepts of disposal units. If everything goes according to the plan for this site and the concept, we expect site approval in the first half of 2009. After that, we will start preparing everything necessary for building permission.

The NH4OH-KOH pulping was a highly efficient process for extracting banana pseudostem waste (BNW) pulp. Besides, this greener pulping process allowed NH4OH recovery and KOH can be later used as fertilizer, reducing the environmental impact. It was found that the optimal BNW pulping condition was using 8.3 wt% NH4OH and 3.3 wt% KOH at a cooking temperature of 155°C for 1 h, and liquid to solid ratio 6:1. From the results, this process allowed low chemical usage and provided high pulp yield (44%) with a high delignification degree (80%) and low Kappa no. (22). After pulping, the single-stage bleaching of BNW pulp using 8 wt% H2O2 and 1.5 wt% NaOH at 90°C for 1 h was shown to improve the whiteness and brightness of the BNW molded pulp samples to 69.7% and 28.7%ISO (3-fold increase), respectively. As compared to commercial molded pulp food packaging, the present BNW molded pulp exhibited a superior tensile index of 54.3 Nm/g and Young’s modulus of 4.8 GPa.

Getlini waste disposal site has been the major landfill for Riga City since more than 20 years. Due to the conditions at the site and indications on contamination of the groundwater aquifers there were plans to close the site and establish a new landfill. However, those plans were later revised as it was found that the most appropriate alternative would be to remediate the old parts of the disposal site and  continue the landfilling operations utilising modem technologies. Based on this information it was decided to carry out a feasibility study including investigations of the environmental impact from the existing disposal site and propose measures for remediation of existing contamination as well as recommendations on how to continue the operations in an environmentally acceptable way. The feasibility study was carried out by SWECO, in association with GeoKonsultants in accordance with an agreement with Riga City Council and financed by Sida and Riga City.

abstrak Secara umum banyak industri besar yang menghasilkan limbah dan mengganggu kelestarian lingkungan hidup. Amdal (Analisis Mengenai Dampak Lingkungan Hidup) sebagai sebuah peraturan perundangan-undangan yang mengatur tentang studi kelayakan suatu rencana usaha dan/atau kegiatan, wajib dimiliki oleh setiap usaha dan/atau kegiatan yang berdampak penting terhadap lingkungan. Amdal disusun oleh pemrakarsa pada tahap perencanaan suatu usaha dan/atau kegiatan yang dituangkan dalam dokumen Amdal. Penelitian ini berawal dari sebuah keprihatinan bahwa dalam kitab-kitab fiqh pembahasan tentang lingkungan hidup kurang mendapat sorotan. Penelitian ini berusaha untuk menjajagi tingkat dukungan agama terhadap Amdal dengan menggunakan pendekatan mas}lah}ah. Pertama, tingkat dukungan nas}s}-nas}s} agama terhadap Amdal cenderung kepada mas}lah}ah mursalah. Amdal sebagai produk hukum dan undang-undang dengan perantara pemerintah merupakan salah satu sarana dari mas}lah}ah mursalah. Kedua, agama meletakkan peringkat kepentingan Amdal dalam mas}lah}ah d}aru>ri>yah. Amdal terkait dengan mas}lah}ah yang bersifat umum (mas}lah}ah ‘a>mmah), karena segala hal yang terjadi pada lingkungan hidup akan berpengaruh terhadap kehidupan manusia. Ketiga, agama meletakkan Amdal dalam al-kulliya>t al-khams sebagai fard}u kifa>yah, tidak termasuk dalam salah satu sektor di dalamnya dan juga tidak memasukkannya dalam sektor baru keenam untuk dibuka, karena dalam implementasinya Amdal merupakan kewajiban kolektif dalam penanganan problem lingkungan hidup yang hanya dapat dituntaskan secara bersama dengan melibatkan banyak stakeholders. abstractIn general, many large industries produce waste and interfere with environmental sustainability. EIA-Environmental Impact Assessment (in Indonesia usually called by Amdal) as a law that regulates the feasibility study of a business plan and/or activity, must be owned by every business and/or activity that has an important impact on the environment. The EIA is prepared by the initiator at the planning stage of a business and/or activity as outlined in the EIA documents. This thesis begins with a concern that in the books of fiqh the discussion of the environment is not under the spotlight. Therefore, this thesis will explore the level of religious support for EIA with the approach of mas}lah}ah. First, the support level of nas}s}-nas}s} religion against EIA tends to mas}lah}ah mursalah. EIA as a legal product and law with a government intermediary is one of the means of mas}lah}ah mursalah, because it contains a essential mas}lah}ah, in line with the intent and purpose of shara‘, does not clash with the existing shara‘ proposition, and is very necessary in the prevention of pollution and environmental destruction. Second, religion ranks EIA interest in mas}lah}ah d}aru>ri>yah. EIA is related to mas}lah}ah that are general in nature (mas}lah}ah ‘a>mmah), because everything that happens in the environment will affect human life, including di>n (religion), nafs (life), ‘aql (intellect), ‘ird}/nasl (dignity/offspring), and ma>l (wealth). The aspect of benefit in EIA is an effort to realize benefits (jalb al-mana>fi‘i) and avoid humans from damage and ugliness (dar‘ al-mafa>sidi). Third, religion puts EIA in al-kulliya>t al-khams as fard}u kifa>yah, not included in one of the sectors in it and also does not include it in the sixth new sector to be opened, because in its implementation EIA is a collective obligation in handling environmental problems that can only be resolved together by involving many stakeholders.
