Details on the scope and outcomes of the implemented activities are available in the tables bellow: Activity ECENA Study Tour focused on IPPC, Waste Incineration, Water framework and VOC directives Justification Part of the BERCEN MAP 2003-2006 Funding European Commission’s CARDS Regional Programme 2003-2006 Time and June 18-25, 2006 in Denmark Location Objectives • To further improve the capacities for implementation of environmental law of the environmental inspectors from BERCEN/ ECENA member countries; • To upgrade the gained knowledge from the previous trainings; • To exchange information on the implementation of the major EU environmental legislation • To further strengthen the cooperation among the countries. Scope The first study tour in the framework of ECENA aimed at fully understanding how a national environmental protection system works in one of the most advanced EU countries – Denmark. The focus of the study tour was Environmental Permitting and Inspection in light of the IPPC Directive. However, other major pieces of EU legislation were covered like the Waste Incineration Directive, Water Framework Directive and VOC Directive. Participants 19 environmental inspectors/permit writers from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, FYR Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia and Turkey attended the study tour. Results • Experience exchanged on environmental enforcement and regulatory compliance; • Transfer of lessons learned; • Improved capacity, knowledge and skills related to implementation of IPPC, LCP directive and VOC chemicals; Outcomes • The participants visited the municipalities of Copenhagen, Gladsaxe, Ballerup, Ringsted. • The participants visited the following installations: • Vestforbraending Waste Incinerator; • LEO Pharma Pharmaceutical Company; • Sun Chemicals; • A pig farm ( IPPC Annex 1 installation) • There was also a visit in the Rovesta Laboratories and a presentation by the European Topic Centre on Resource and Waste Management. The following presentations were delivered during this study tour: • Environmental inspection system in Denmark, Gudmund Nielsen, Danish Environmental Protection Agency; • Standard Conditions in Permits, Lars Christiansen, Planmiljoe; • Copenhagen Waste Management, Lene Christensen, Copenhagen Municipality; • VOC Solvent Emission Directive – Danish Experience, Frank Sorensen, Copenhagen Municipality; • Waste Water Management in Ballerup Municipality, Benny W. Jakobsen, Ballerup Municipality; • LEO Pharma Introduction, Lykke Have; • LEO Pharma and the Environment, Lykke Have; • Inspection of Farms – Danish Experience, Peter Hansen, Ringsted Municipality; • Environmental Management at Vestforbraending Waste Incinerator, Annette Olsen; • Environmental Management at Gladsaxe Municipality; • European Topic Centre on Resource and Waste Management, Karen Kristensen; • Rovesta Laboratory Introduction 1; • Rovesta Laboratory Introduction 2; • SunChemical presentation,by Poul Valderslef and Per Bech. Evaluation The participants considered the study tour successful. Evaluation results are available at : http://www.rec.org/REC/Programs/rerep/ecena/studytours/first/default.html Activity Peer Reviews of the environmental enforcement system focused on IPPC, RMCEI and progress monitoring and benchmarking Justification Agreed at the 2nd BERCEN plenary meeting as “Cluster 2” activities (peer reviews) as part of the network’s work plan for 2003-2006. Funding • The European Commission CARDS Regional Programme 2003-2006. Time & March – September 2006, Skopje, Prishtina, Tirana, Zagreb, Sarajevo Location Objectives • To provide clear picture of the situation regarding enforcement systems and integrated permitting in ECENA countries; • To assist countries with recommendations for follow-up steps to improve enforcement systems; • To encourage action in these countries in order to speed up reforms in the enforcement system; • To encourage further collaboration between inspection bodies of ECENA member countries, as well as with the inspectorates of EU member states on common issues or problems, on exchange of experience and development and dissemination of good practices in environmental regulation; • To provide advice to inspectorates who may be seeking an external view of their structure, operation or performance by trusted, knowledgeable and independent counterparts for the purpose of benchmarking; • To spread good practices, which will lead to improved quality of inspectorates and inspections, and contributing to continuous improvement of quality and consistency in applying environmental law; • To assist countries in the EU accession process; and • To provide the European Commission with expert views on the situation in ECENA member countries regarding environmental permitting and enforcement. Scope Peer reviews provide an opportunity to examine each country’s policy in a particular area. The IPPC Directive , the Recommendation for Minimum Criteria for Environmental Inspection (RMCEI) and benchmarking and progress monitoring practices are examined by fellow members on an equal basis, and this lies at the heart of the process. A country seeking to improve its system can learn valuable lessons from its peers on what has worked and what has not. This can save time and costly experimenting in establishing the best policies for a particular country. The recommendations resulting from such a review can also help governments win support at home for difficult measures. Because all the countries will undergo the same exercise, no country under review feels singled out in any way. Today’s reviewers will be reviewed themselves tomorrow. Participants The review team in principle consisted of the ECENA Secretariat; field experts from an IMPEL member state; and, two experts from ECENA member countries (one from the country that has already been peer reviewed and one from the country scheduled to be peer reviewed next). Expected • The reviewed country will benefit from the recommendations and Results expert review of transposition and implementation of IPPC and RMCEI. • Participants in the review team

  • View of Where There Are Fillings Heights As Both Maps Are Based on the Field Survey and Fill Thickness
    The Journal of Transdisciplinary Environmental Studies vol. 12, no. 2, 2013 Public Archives and other Sources for Surveying of Dumpsites and Polluting Enterprises before 1950 Anne-Sofie Fleischer Michaelsen,Department of Environmental, Social and Spatial Change, Roskilde University, Denmark E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: In Denmark, the local environmental authorities have had an obligation to survey areas for soil contamination since the early 1980s. Through the years, detecting and locating old dumpsites and gathering historical information on them have been very dependent on old aerial photographs. As a result, the environmental authorities only have little knowledge of dumpsites operating before the mid-1950s. This study describes the utility of various historical sources for surveying of old dumpsites in the former Ballerup-Maaløv Municipality near Copenhagen. The minute books of the Council and the Health Commission in the municipality were used. In order to locate two dumpsites mentioned in the minute books and gather information on them, the fol- lowing additional sources were used: Old census papers, index cards from tax assessments of real property, income tax returns, writings from local history societies on the former villages, recorded memories told by senior citizens and jubilee publications from homeowners’ associations together with old cadastral maps, old topographical maps, and old aerial photographs plus a comparison of terrain heights in a topographical military map from 1900 and the Danish Elevation Model from 2005-2007. The minute books of the Council and the Health Commission contain information on 31 dumpsites and 15 possible dumpsites of very different characteristics. Only a few of the dumpsites were already known by the local environmental authorities.

We were not entirely sure what we had started. We knew that we had given half of the museum’s exhibition area to children for almost a year, so they could experience free play and a new interpretation of the legendary The Model of 1968. But we had not dared to hope that the children would embrace The Model so wholeheartedly, bringing it to life and transforming it from a play- ground into an artwork, from an exhibition into a place. At ARKEN we have a strong focus on participation, people at play, and the role of the museum in society.
