Gau-Algesheim opencast mining rejected in Laurenziberg

(coha). From nature protection law reasons the company Gaul GmbH
approval of the chief operating plan for the silica sand mining
Laurenziberg are not granted. "Then the city Gau-Algesheim notes in
its opinion on an application from Gaul for approval of a major
operation plan.

As a reason calls the city, represented by attorney Andrew Dazert, the
situation in the bird sanctuary "Hilbersheimer upper plateau." An
impact of the mining project with the strict requirements of the
hereafter which engages nature protection law was not given, contrary
to the applicant site. As a result of this habitat protection differs
from a permit from the outset.

Hand in hand with the City of Bingen

In addition, the city of Gau-Algesheim - like the city of Bingen in
her opinion - pointed out that a wrong approval process will operate.
The two cities operate hand in hand.

"Because the mining project is located in the bird sanctuary, the
mining authorities require a basic operating plan and raise finance
for its approval a plan approval procedure," city mayor Dieter Faust
explained to our newspaper. An environmental impact assessment is
therefore essential.

In addition, Faust announces that it wants to undergo the examination
of a natural compatibility presented expert peer review.

Mayor Faust does not want to give up

"If, contrary to the alleged procedural and conservation concerns, the
licensing authority grant the request of the applicant site, we will
refer the matter to the European Commission, Directorate General
Environment to submit, for legal review," makes fist clear that the
city will not give up so easily.
