Israeli plan to save cash by dumping waste near water supply
By Donald Macintyre
05 April 2005
Israel is planning to dump up to 10,000 tons a month of its refuse in a quarry in the occupied West Bank in the region of the Palestinian city of Nablus.
The plan was revealed in company documents leaked to the newspaper Haaretz which said the plan to dispose of waste from Israel's Sharon region was a way to cut costs and increase the profits of the companies involved.
The report said use of land, close to the Mountain Aquifer, one of the largest freshwater sources in Israeli and Palestinian territory, means the companies will be able to pay 25 per cent less to dump the waste than it would cost on the Israeli side of the 1967 "green line".
The army's civil administration for the West Bank confirmed yesterday that it ordered a temporary halt to construction at the site after one of the companies involved, DSH, had dumped garbage without properly insulating it against a risk to water supplies. It said workers were removing that garbage to install nylon sheeting beneath the dump.
The private company is operating the new refuse system at the old Abu Shusha quarry in partnership with Baron Industrial Park, whose municipal owners include the council of one of the local Jewish settlements, Kedumim.
The civil administration insisted yesterday that the dump would take Palestinian as well as Israeli waste, that permission had been granted only on condition it served the two communities and that there would be "no danger whatsoever" to underground water supplies.
But Yossi Sarid, the left-wing Knesset member and former environment minister, told the newspaper the move was a "double crime", adding: "Israel is preventing the Palestinians from making use of the quarry and its resources and in exchange we are giving them the Sharon's garbage."
The Nablus council leader Najib Seha said Israel was "taking advantage" of the lack of co-ordination between Israel and the Palestinians." The army just implements its will," he added.
Legal experts say the landfill could violate international law, and Palestinians living near by fear the dump could poison them and their trees. Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat said the plan violates international law.

Highly toxic chemicals have been spread on Palestinian sheep pastures in what villagers believe is an escalation of a campaign of harassment against them by Jewish West Bank settlers.
Amnesty International has called on the Israeli authorities to investigate fully a systematic poisoning attack which they say has killed more than 20 sheep in Tuwani, a village of 250 people, and two others in the south Hebron hills.
The poisoning here and in Umm Faggara and Kharruba came to light after a series of violent attacks over the past year by masked men on international volunteers accompanying shepherds and protecting Palestinian children walking to and from school in Tuwani from the outlying village of Tuba. The last, on 16 February, left a Italian human rights activist, Johannes Steger, with a fractured jaw, a torn retina and amnesia.
The villagers blame the nearby settlers of Maon and Havat Maon for the attacks, which have prompted the army and police to provide an armed escort for the children travelling round the settlement between the two villages.
Amnesty has accused the Israeli police - who are fully responsible for this section of the occupied West Bank - of failing adequately to investigate the poisoning and bring its perpetrators to justice. Police say they have made arrests in connection with attacks but do not yet know who is responsible for the poisoning and that an investigation is continuing.
The Palestinian farmers have been obliged to quarantine their flocks and stop selling or consuming their milk, meat and cheese in what one villager, Hafez Hareini, said was an "economic disaster" for the area.
Salem al-Adra, 74, said he had lost three of his 30 sheep from two poisoning episodes, and that 80 others among the 1,250 grazed by shepherds in Tuwani and Umm Faggara had fallen sick, with symptoms such as diarrhoea and foaming at the mouth.
The al-Adra family produced a bag of green pellets collected by volunteers which Amnesty says analysts from both Bier Zeit University and the Israeli Nature Protection Authority had identified as barley treated with 2-Fluoracetamide, a powerful rodenticide banned in several countries.
Amnesty says a second poisoning uncovered in the first week of April used Brodifacoum, an anti-coagulant and another highly toxic rodenticide.
Naim al-Adra said: "The settlers just don't want us to enter our land."
His father added: "They are wicked people. It's very easy to explain. They just don't like the smell of Arabs. When they came here first in 1982 it was very easy for the first year. But then they said, 'We are going to take your land piece by piece'."
Emily Amrusy, spokeswoman for the Yesha Council, the settlers' umbrella body, said the international activists had laid the poison to frame the settlers. She said she did not know why escorts had been provided for schoolchildren.
Shelley Stanley, 22, an American volunteer working in Tuwani, said she had gone to Kyriat Arba police station to report that she had been told by a security guard at the Maon settlement that the poisoning had been the work of Havat Maon settlers.
"The policemen took a statement," she recalled, "but when I asked what would happen, he said, 'This is way over our head; we are waiting for a decision'."
