Environment

Contaminants from thousands of truckloads of slate, are constantly leaking into stream Snipetjernsbekken, which flows into Lake Gjersjøen—the fresh water source for around 49,500 people in Oppegård and the municipality Ås; the stream has much heavy metals and the pH is low. The magnitude of the problem has been known since 2006. In 2022, the government started its case-work thru Environment Agency and Radiation Protection Authority.
