Like landfill plans in Reutte the community: insights and concerns

The discussion about the need for the need for additional landfill areas for building rubble and excavation material in the Reutte district has recently gained intensity. The focus is particularly on the planned landfill on Katzenberg, which has been critically examined by various parties and the local population in the past few weeks.

The deadline for submitting statements recently expired, and Mayor Günter Salchner told the local council a few days ago about his talks with State Councilor René Zumtobel. Salchner made it clear that the municipality of Reutte is against the landfill and that corresponding concerns were expressed.

approval of the landfill

Salchner informed the municipal councils that the landfill was expected to be approved, which was met with mixed reactions in the community. The majority of the present reports seem to show positive results, which is why the chances of stopping the plans are rather low.

This pessimistic assessment is underlined by a communication from the country, in which it is emphasized that landfills play an important role as a safety factor after high water and degrees. However, this argument is hardly approved in the affected communities, especially when landfills are planned against the will of the residents.

advances for regulating landfills

The Fritz list has also made demands on the new regulation of landfills. Club chairman Markus Sint would like to introduce a special dedication for landfills in order to give the municipalities more decision -making. In his opinion, it is absurd that a dedication is required for garages while landfills can be easily set up.

He also demands that needs tests will be carried out for landfills in the future in order to avoid overcapacity. Sint sees the current regulation as inadequate and blames the lack of corresponding measures for this situation.

A central point, however, remains the urgent need for landfill areas. While the discussion about the Katzenberg landfill is raging, the state of Tyrol has announced that no landfill areas are required for the excavation material of the newly planned tunnel tubes on the Lermooser tunnel, since the material is installed on site.

These developments show that the topic around landfills in the Reutte district is far from over and the discussion about it will continue in the coming weeks.
