Part of situation: Gospić waste scandal: Remediation and political fallout (30 clusters)

Gospić illegal waste remediation could cost over 50 million euros

illegal waste disposal Gospić environmental remediation Lika-Senj County food safety

The cost of remediating illegally dumped waste in Gospić is estimated to exceed 50 million euros, according to Lika-Senj County Prefect Ernest Petry. The county is currently coordinating with various ministries, the Environmental Protection and Energy Efficiency Fund, and health institutions to manage the cleanup and address hazardous waste.

While air quality measurements at the Silos site show no exceedance of daily particulate matter limits, officials have committed to continuous monitoring for the next year. Regarding public health, authorities stated that local food and drinking water remain safe. Tests on 15 groups of agricultural products, including potatoes, tomatoes, and various fruits, showed no signs of general contamination.

However, officials noted that while public tap water is safe, PFAS compounds were detected in groundwater. There are ongoing concerns regarding the potential impact of the waste site on the reputation of local agricultural products and the tourism sector. To mitigate economic damage, the county is planning support programs for small family farms in the 2027 budget.
