The enterprise Inčukalns Eko has built temporary hangars and is now performing work on water purification in ponds. The film of substance that has arisen over the lake is still covered with ice.

First it is planned to neutralize the substance with a mixture consisting of lime, wood flakes and chips. This will help to burn the tar at a special Cemex plant without problems. It is planned to transport 500 cubes at a time. So, it is necessary to take out 25,000 cubic meters of the mixture.

To avoid harm to the environment, mixing will take place in hangars equipped with air purification systems, after which all the remaining ponds will be covered with sand. It is planned to finish all the works already in 2021.

The area of the renewed site will be 2.5 hectares. The total planned financing of the project is 29.258 million euros, including co-financing from the European Regional Development Fund – 24.869 million euros, from the state budget – 4.389 million euros.

The work done by Inčukalns Eko is allocated 26.6 million euros, and 2.6 million euros will be used for project development, environmental monitoring and other purposes.
