Citizens or municipalities where drug waste is dumped on their land will be able to recover most of these costs from the government from next year. The cabinet will announce this later today, RTL Nieuws reports based on its own sources.
According to RTL News people on whose land drug dumping took place will be reimbursed a maximum of 200,000 euros in clean-up costs. Municipalities and other decentralized authorities pay a contribution of 50 percent for the first 50,000 euros, and above that, up to an amount of 200,000 euros, all clean-up costs are also reimbursed.
Soil contamination
Owners of the land on which drugs are dumped often now largely bear the costs themselves, even if they have nothing to do with the case. The previous cabinet made a subsidy pot, but it only contains one million euros.
In addition, it pays out a maximum of 25,000 euros per pollution. The actual costs are almost always much higher. A majority of the House of Representatives therefore asked the cabinet earlier to allocate more money to meet these people.
