Image description

The voters of Fricktal have approved the construction of a landfill for poisoned soil, and in March 1974 the excavators in the former Schlüen quarry were opened. Around 45,000 cubic metres of contaminated soil from the Rhein-Chemie Kaiseraugust site are to be disposed of here. The chemical company has moved to Munich. Because the contaminated brominated soil could endanger the groundwater, the landfill site will be sealed with an Opalinus clay layer and an airtight plastic foil.
