Since the beginning of January, many residents in the south of the Oise, around Villeneuve-les-Sablons, have been inconvenienced by bad odorsdepending on the range of the wind. At the origin of this inconvenience, a fire Discovered Tuesday, January 7 On the Valorisol sitestill topical at the end of this month.
Located Méru route, at a place called Le Gibet MoninValorisol specializes in waste enhancement Green and waste by-products of category 3 animals in compost. She also receives bio -waste for her composting activity. The latter are incorporated into the green waste composting process to form swatches with bio -waste of different natures. To avoid bad odors, this waste is pre-processing in pasteurization and hygienization containers.
A fire possibly criminal
The bad smells that have persisted since the beginning of the year are therefore caused by a fire, which has declared on January 7 On one of the Green Waste Andans from municipal collections, as informed of the Regional Directorate of the Environment of Planning and Housing (DREAL). This fire impacts a capacity of 15,000 tonnes, on a storage capacity of 30,000 tonnes. “”The origin of the covering fire is possibly criminal because an intrusion on the site was noted on Monday (the day before) With in particular fuel flightnote the Dreal. The operator filed a complaint. In addition, three different starters reinforce the suspicions. “
Since then, an organization has been set up between the Dreal and the Departmental Fire and Rescue Service (SDIS) of the Oise to ensure a follow -up of the fire. Each day, Valorisol controls the situation at noon, the firefighters from Méru around 8 p.m., by lift up the temperatures via a drone. “”The SDIS goes twice a day to the site to indicate the operations to be carried out“, Specifies the Dreal.
Endains evacuated on agricultural plots
The firefighters have chosen to burn the swath. This was divided into several islets, “in order to promote greater combustion by strengthened and facilitated ventilationAnd to avoid any spread. The platform was therefore reorganized to promote the maneuvers of the vehicles. Different materials (compost, mulch, biomass, etc.) were evacuated to agricultural plots located around, especially in the neighboring town of Ivry-le-Temple. “”It is in no way a question of compost on firereassures the Dreal, But matured compost which can potentially clear the smoke in appearance of the temperature difference between the latter (between 30 and 60 ° C) and the outside temperature.»»
The bad smells also come from the turnaround of materials on the Villeneuve-les-Sablons platform. This reactivates the flames and causes dense smoke. Depending on the orientation of the wind, the neighboring municipalities can be impacted.
The Dreal specifies that this type of covering fire is very long to stop completely. After three weeks of inconvenience, it is still impossible to predict when the fire is completely extinguished.
