The announcement by Elektroprivreda BiH to dispose of waste from the Tuzla Thermal Power Plant in the Lukavac municipality has sparked outrage among residents and local authorities. The local government demands a halt to this proposal, while citizens warn that the planned site for the dump contains numerous sources of not only drinking water but also thermal and mineral springs. EPBiH states that they are not creating a new dump but are technically reclaiming degraded areas, arguing that there are no justified reasons to abandon this proposal.
