Naturvernforbundet klager inn staten Norge for å ha brutt vanndirektivet, datert 22. desember 2015
New complaint and addition to the complaint: Norway has failed to comply with the Water Framework Directive
The complainants sent a letter to ESA 19.05.2015, claiming that Norway fails to comply with the Water Framework Directive, due to new permits for dumping mine tailings mixed with chemicals into Norwegian fjords, issued after the Norwegian acceptance of WFD, and for not taking steps in the new water management plans (2015 – 2021) to stop 6 ongoing dumping sites.
This letter adds the following two elements to the complaint:
1. New complaint: Norway fails to comply with the Water Framework Directive by issuing a new permit to dump mining tailings in Repparfjord.
2. New information concerning our complaint, 19.05.2015, that Norway fails to comply with the Water Framework Directive by issuing a permit to dump mining tailings in Førdefjorden.
a. 01.12.2015: A Norwegian marine biology specialist released a report that strongly criticizes the EIA reports for serious underestimation of the harmful effects of suspended particles on marine life in Førdefjorden, and for underestimating how far the finest particles will spread.
b. 07.12.2015: Researchers at the University of Bergen claim that the EIA reports for Førdefjorden do not take into account a rare, but dramatic sea current phenomena called “hydraulic jump” that would spread the fine tailings far out from the deposition area.
