Über dieses Buch

Controversies concerning the siting of facilities for the disposal and treatment of hazardous but also domestic waste are widespread in all of the industrialized countries. The paradoxical situation of projects that are needed for environmental reasons and are opposed on environmental grounds has been addressed by scholars and by policy-makers searching for solutions. However, only in a few cases have waste disposal facilities actually been built and made operational.
The aim of the book (which illustrates the results of a research project financed by the EU-DGXII) is to investigate the decision-making processes for the siting and creation of waste facilities, in order to identify the factors for predicting success. Adopting a Public Policy Analysis approach the book presents six cases of successful decision-making on waste facilities siting in France, Italy, The Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland and Slovenia, drawing lessons for the redefinition of public policy-making in the field of waste treatment.
The conclusions of this book are interesting for all fields of public policy where conflict is a relevant problem. This book is also of interest to scholars in the environmental field, as well as in public policy analysis, and to practitioners and (public or private) actors involved in environmental policy.

1. Siting Waste Facilities: Drawing Lessons from Success Stories
Abstract
Controversies about the siting of facilities for the disposal and treatment of both hazardous and domestic waste are widespread in all industrialised countries. Proponents (both public and private) of these facilities point to the need for them and to their technical suitability, while opponents (local communities and environmental groups) emphasise the risks for health and environment associated with the substances to be disposed of or treated by the process.

2. Replacing Old for New: Lessons from a French Case Study
Abstract
The French case presented below is related to the TREDI-S alaise plant. This plant was built at Salaise in 1985, by TREDI, a company specialised in the incineration of toxic wastes and a subsidiary of a public company called EMC (Entreprise Minière et Chimique).1 The TREDI-Salaise plant was built to replace an old waste incinerator, owned by TREDI and located at Saint-Maurice-l’Exil, 7 km from Salaise.

3. The Conflicts Engendered by Waste Facilities Siting: Lessons to be Learned from a Spanish Case
Abstract
The case under analysis (actually a dual case since it involves a success and also a failure) takes place in the region of Andalusia, more specifically in the province of Huelva. It is exemplified by the building up of a waste facility (micro-encapsulating plant) in Palos de la Frontera in 1992, after a linked and failed experience regarding the attempt to install a landfill in Gibraleon.

4. Role of a Scapegoat Needed!: The Siting of a Chemical Waste Incinerator in Lendava, Slovenia
Abstract
In this chapter we analyse the decision making process concerning siting of the incinerator in LEK Lendava. The NIMBY syndrome emerged also in Slovenia and it was almost impossible to make a decision on waste facilities siting after the mid-eighties. LEK’s story is therefore very interesting. Our analysis is based on the theoretical framework of policy analysis presented in this book. Some anthropological, discourse studies and risks society theory observations have been taken into consideration too. Data have been collected by twenty one interviews with actors and by analysis of the articles on the issue published in Slovene daily and regional newspapers as well as the minutes of important meetings. The main task of the analysis was to discover preconditions for the successful decision: successful in this case also meaning implemented.

5. Swiss Border Incident: A Case Study of the Ciba-Geigy Special Waste Incineration Plant in Basel, Switzerland
Abstract
Ciba-Geigy (hereafter CG) is one of three major pharmaceutical companies located in the Basel area; the other two are Sandoz and Hoffmann-La Roche1. Due to its geographical situation, the Basel area has an influence which spreads beyond the borders of both canton and country. As a result, these companies are a driving force of the local economy and employment market.

6. Balancing the Stake. The Creation of the Centre for Industrial Waste Treatment in Modena (Italy)
Abstract
The Centre for Industrial Waste Treatment is the biggest plant of its kind in Italy, and the only one under public management. It is located in Modena, in the Emilia Romagna region, and is managed by a public agency — AMIU (Azienda Municipale di Igiene Urbana) — owned by the local municipality. As it is today, the Centre is the result of the realisation of a first plant and the subsequent addition of two other plants. Far from being designed as a single project implemented in different phases, the Centre was added on to during the years, each plant having been decided upon separately. What we have, then, is not a single process decision making, related to the Centre as a whole, but three different processes concerning:
a)
the realisation of the first inertisation plant (called Soliroc 1) for toxic waste treatment, with a capacity of 25,000 tons/year (1978–1985);
 
b)
the realisation of an incinerator for toxic waste, with a capacity of 5,000 mc./year (1984–1993);
 
c)
the realisation of the second inertisation plant (called Soliroc 2) for toxic waste treatment, with a capacity of 50,000 tons/year (1988–1993).

7. Any Objections after all? Decision Making on the Siting of a Domestic Waste Incinerator in Wijster, the Netherlands
Abstract
The initiative to realise a waste incinerator facility was taken in 1986 by the waste treatment company ‘Vuilafvoer Maatschappij NV’ (VAM) in the village of Wijster. This village is incorporated in the municipality of Beilen, which is located in the province of Drenthe. The VAM company has a long tradition of composting the Dutch biodegradable waste fraction. The compostable fraction is taken there by train from all over the country. As a result of terminating the traditional process, the waste fraction that had to be deposited (at the same location) increased tremendously, which resulted in an increase in the deposited volume of 6 million cubic meters in about 7 years. At that time the existing landfill had nearly reached its maximum capacity. In order to reduce the fraction of the processed waste that had to be dumped, the VAM company proposed to build a waste incineration facility. The incinerator was planned to reach a maximum capacity of 350,000 tons/year of domestic waste. In order to build this incinerator several phases had to be passed: the environmental impact assessment, the provincial waste plan, the region plan, and changing the local land use plans. These procedures developed partly in parallel in a coordinated way.

8. A Theoretical Framework for Case Study Analysis
Abstract
The six cases reported in the preceding chapters present stories on the decision making processes of six waste facilities siting procedures in different European countries. The studies include an analysis of several aspects of the decision making process, applying a common theoretical framework. This common theoretical framework, which is a rationale for case study analysis using a public policy analysis approach, will be clarified in this chapter. The benefits of a common theoretical framework can be found in the fact that it creates possibilities to compare different cases. Our conclusions, presented in Chapter 1, can be seen as a direct result of these benefits.
