The Ministry of Environment and Waters wants to construct an incineration factory and landfill for Hazardous Waste in the already highly polluted region of Radnevo where operates 3 Thermal Power Plants, 3 opencasts and there are five villages. The local affected people do not want this project to be implemented in their region.

The main problems is that the incineration technology is well recognised as the world's biggest resource of dioxins and furans which are highly dangerous pollutants and cause cancer, heart and lung diseases, gene modifications and many others. At the moment there aren't any measures of the current level of the accumulated dioxins in the region so it is impossible to estimate the additional pollutant and no one can say what are going to be the consequences on the people and the environment.

The project was once stopped in 2001 by the European Commission because the Ministry of Environment and Waters did not conducted the public consultations in compliance with the EU Directive on EIA and EC considered the project as not ready and refused financing it. EC also proposed further investigation to be made for the dioxins contamination risk.

In 2004 the MOEW is trying to get the same project financed by ISPA and European Investment bank. The citizens of the villages of Kovachevo, Pet Mogili, Radecki, Novoselec and Mlekarevo and also the workers in the 3 TPP are against this project and has signed several declaration submitted to the Bulgarian president, Parliament, European Commission.

Support local citizens and NGOs in their struggle against this reckless project.
