/ world immediately information/ I learn with curiosity what the Folks’s Consultant Dilyan Dimitrov and the regional governor Rosen Belchev stated within the “Montpres” municipality relating to the issues with the “Ogosta” dam. I strongly disagree with their opinion for a lot of causes.
Within the assertion it’s claimed that, I quote: “Ogosta dam under no circumstances threatens the safety of Montana and the settlements alongside the Ogosta river to the Danube river”. Instantly after that, the Folks’s Consultant from GERB Dilyan Dimitrov says that the federal government has created a brand new firm – I quote: “which is able to manage and fee the design and restore of dams, state and municipal property, which endanger the inhabitants within the occasion of pure disasters and accidents”. As every little thing is regular, why did the federal government of the Republic of Bulgaria at its assembly deal particularly with the “Ogosta” dam and determined to allocate funds for finishing up restore works. The issue is obvious. The services of the “Ogosta” hydroelectric plant have issues, which signifies that if measures are usually not taken, it is going to be probably harmful for the inhabitants of town of Montana and the settlements alongside the river Ogosta to the Danube. The regional governor expressed his opinion earlier than the “Montpres” dam that the “Ogosta” dam is essentially the most checked web site. And what ? The issues are there! Virtually none of them have been resolved, typically coated up with a view to get to the state of affairs the place the federal government of the Republic of Bulgaria offers with the Ogosta dam. Why he’s completely satisfied and makes this assertion, Mr. Regional Governor, I by no means understood. Within the interview within the newspaper, she has one precise discovering, I quote: “Ogosta dam is dependable and effectively constructed”. That is true, as a result of folks with quite a lot of information, with nice need and accountability and above all with coronary heart labored on the positioning and handed over to the state for administration and operation a singular hydrotechnical node that modified through the years the social lifetime of the folks, the local weather, the air, the natural world of the world and thru it the ecological steadiness of your entire space as much as the Danube River is maintained, it protects town and the world from floods, disasters and accidents. Let’s simply keep in mind that the fountains within the heart of town, which have been working for practically 30 years, had been fed by the waters of the “Ogosta” dam for the enjoyment and pleasure of the residents of town of Montana. Now, after the “profitable” intervention of the brand new proprietor of the dam – “Irrigation Techniques” Vratsa, it’s unhappy to see them. And now these glorious specialists who constructed the “Ogosta” dam – Eng. Iliya Vassilev, Eng. Rangel Spasov, Eng. Konstantin Dimitrov, Eng. Dafinka Ivanova, Eng. Ivan Gotsin, Eng. Emilia Lyubenova, Eng. Krasimir Slaveikov, Eng. Nina Rashkova, engineer Velislav Todorov, engineer Vasil Vasilev, engineer Liliana Tomova, engineer Ivan Hadjiyski and lots of different specialists who dwell and work within the metropolis of Montana and are anxiously monitoring the technical situation of the “Ogosta” dam. After all, nobody is searching for their opinion, for committees, however understanding them effectively, I do know that their opinion will hardly be totally different from mine.
Mr. Member of Parliament,
Since I categorically don’t share your opinion, I’ll attempt to briefly current the issues of the “Ogosta” dam, hoping that the residents of Montana will perceive them.
The issues began in 2011, when as Minister of Agriculture from GERB, Mr. Miroslav Naydenov /whom you in all probability know effectively/ closed and destroyed the enterprise “Irrigation Techniques” – Montana in essentially the most irresponsible and incompetent means, with none affordable, financial or administrative justification. Earlier than the closure of “Irrigation Techniques” – Montana with director Eng. Krasimir Slaveikov, it labored effectively, was self-supporting, worthwhile and most significantly maintained in superb situation all hydrotechnical objects within the Montana area. In my view, for that reason the enterprise was closed and transferred to “Irrigation Techniques” Vratsa. He tried to do the identical with the Vidin enterprise, however the municipal and regional leaders of Vidin, along with the folks’s representatives, didn’t enable this to occur. Since then, on account of poor administration, improper operation of the services, the issues on the “Ogosta” hydroelectric junction started. I’ll introduce you to only some of them, hoping that you’ll assist to unravel them.
Within the left slope of the “Ogosta” dam, which borders the city of Montana, there’s a landslide, which is seen to the “easy” eye. The landslide is energetic and described within the data to the Minister of Agriculture and the Speaker of the Nationwide Meeting. I hope you perceive what landslide means. I assume that you haven’t requested your self the query, what are the explanations for triggering the landslide… The reply is improper operation of the “Ogosta” dam.
Regardless of the selections of the fee from 2014, appointed by order of the Minister of Inner Affairs, which was led by the then deputy regional governor Mrs. Nina Petkova, nothing has been executed thus far.
The primary shutters of the primary discharger are in poor technical situation. The hydraulic oil in them hasn’t been modified since 1986. Hope you perceive what which means. Regardless of a protocol for repairs to the quickly falling savak, nobody thus far dares to concern an order to check it in operational circumstances, as a result of whether it is lowered after which can’t be raised, everybody is aware of what can occur. I hope you perceive too.
The moist slope of the dam wall is in poor technical situation with sufficient destruction additionally on account of poor and improper operation. We had been knowledgeable {that a} mission is at present being made for restore work on the identical, price about BGN 60,000. Mr. Member of Parliament, we have no idea what sort of mission is being made, however a mission was made way back to 1960 and no different mission it can’t be executed as a result of the slope should be the identical, the thickness of the stone armor and of the filter should be the identical and the restore work should be carried out in such a means as to correspond to the unique design. Ogosta Dam was designed and constructed as a perennial leveler and should be managed and operated as such. And it’s exploited and managed as a one-year equalizer. For that reason, there are additionally issues within the left slope and on the moist slope. For these causes, the Minister of Agriculture a couple of years in the past issued an order in reference to the constructed hydroelectric energy station and the safety of the dam. In accordance with the mission, the elevation of the water stage should be maintained – the bottom 187.5 m and the best elevation 193 m. No matter this, the order is consistently being intentionally violated and isn’t revered, as in the meanwhile the elevation of the water stage is 184 and as I can see neither you nor the regional governor have taken an curiosity on this downside, which has been repeatedly knowledgeable and mentioned. Apparently the scent of cash someplace within the administrative division is stronger than the minister’s order.
Some of the vital services associated to the Ogosta Dam is the correction of the river. The fee established in 2014 discovered that the identical was not but constructed and in itself is probably harmful for town of Montana. The mattress of the correction of the Ogosta River has not been cleaned for years from the gathered sediments, which have already modified the scale, in addition to the thalweg of the present. An enormous unregulated dump has been created within the space of the Roma settlement, and nobody cares about it. In 2014, in the course of the heavy rains, because the chairman of the fee for disasters and accidents, Mrs. Nina Petkova – deputy. the regional governor was shocked to search out that the correction of the river couldn’t let greater than 100 cubic meters per second, as there was a hazard of flooding the Roma settlement, and after it the regional metropolis.
Mr. Member of Parliament, the spillway of the “Ogosta” dam is sized for 1,200 cubic meters per second. If rains fall within the space, reminiscent of we noticed in Serbia and Greece, and about 500 cubic meters per second overflow uncontrollably via the spillway, which is totally regular, what is going to occur to town of Montana with the unfinished correction of the river. The reply is – it is going to be flooded. Then what is going to your phrases imply that there aren’t any issues for the residents of Montana. And perhaps you understand and are silent. Possibly that is why she was eliminated and isn’t coping with these issues now, deputy. regional governor – Mrs. Nina Petkova, and earlier than that she headed the fee and is aware of every little thing concerning the “Ogosta” dam. Or perhaps she has withdrawn herself, realizing that she is powerless to alter no matter is mistaken along with her.
Expensive Sirs, there are nonetheless many issues associated to the “Ogosta” hydroelectric plant. For these causes, representatives of 13 events and civil associations despatched letters to the Prime Minister of the Republic of Bulgaria, the Speaker of the Nationwide Meeting, the Prosecutor Common of the Republic of Bulgaria, the Minister of Agriculture, the Ombudsman of the Republic of Bulgaria, which we additionally ship to the editorial workplace of the Montpres”, which may even introduce the residents of Montana. We expressed our gratitude to everybody for his or her perspective and particularly for the choice of the Authorities of the Republic of Bulgaria to contemplate the difficulty of the Ogosta Dam and to allocate monetary sources to unravel the issues.
Expensive gents, I hope you’ll rethink your opinions concerning the Ogosta dam, since it’s not a “puddle”, as some name it, however a singular hydrotechnical object. I do know that you’ve got alternatives to assist resolve the problems raised, particularly, altering the present proprietor of the Ogosta Dam, who through the years has confirmed to be a foul supervisor and improperly exploiting this distinctive hydrotechnical object, offering ample funds to hold out high quality repairs of all sub-sites of the hydroelectric unit. This must be executed for the sake of the residents of Montana, in order that they do not have to fret, dwell peacefully in essentially the most stunning metropolis of Bulgaria – Montana and benefit from the benefits that this distinctive hydrotechnical object – Ogosta Dam offers them ”.
