NEWS FROM THE ESTONIAN MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS

|
|
Clean-up of Damage to the Estonian Environment by 50 Years of
|
||
|
|
Soviet-Russian Military Occupation Will Cost Over 4 Billion
|
||
|
|
USD.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Estonian Ministry of the Environment this week distributed
|
||
|
|
a summary report of the amount of damage caused to the
|
||
|
|
environment by 50 years of Soviet-Russian military occupation.
|
||
|
|
The 13-member Government Working Group places the cost of
|
||
|
|
repairing the damage to the Estonian environment at
|
||
|
|
54,752,697,000 EEK (over 4 billion US dollars). In addition,
|
||
|
|
loss of income to Estonia and non-payment of environmental
|
||
|
|
taxes adds up to another 4.4 billion EEK, for a grand total of
|
||
|
|
58.95 billion EEK.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The highest costs are connected to the clean-up of former
|
||
|
|
Soviet military airfields and artillery ranges (over 11
|
||
|
|
billion EEK) and two areas involving radioactivity, the
|
||
|
|
Paldiski nuclear submarine training facility (40 billion EEK)
|
||
|
|
and the town of Sillamaee, with accumulated radioactive waste
|
||
|
|
from a uranium plant (1.7 billion EEK).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Soviet military controlled 83650.87 hectares (nearly 2% of
|
||
|
|
Estonian territory) on which were located 570 military
|
||
|
|
installations of various types and sizes. Two hundred twelve
|
||
|
|
of these, with a total surface area of 878.17 hectares, were
|
||
|
|
located in the capital city of Tallinn.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Working Group has analyzed about 85% of the territory
|
||
|
|
which was in the hands of the Soviet military. The areas
|
||
|
|
suffering damage and the various military installations were
|
||
|
|
divided into groups according to use and type. The damage to
|
||
|
|
surface and ground water, soil, and the man-made environment
|
||
|
|
was studied and assessed. Not included were navigation devices
|
||
|
|
or an evaluation of the damage caused to Estonian forests. To
|
||
|
|
date, the Working Group study has cost 9.8 million EEK.
