The applicant organisation is the Hungarian National Asset Management Zrt. on behalf of the Hungarian State. The project ‘Remediation of contaminated sites at Berhida Industrial Site’ was completed on 30 December 2015 with the approval of the final report submitted and the payment claim. After that, conservation, necessary maintenance and surveillance protection tasks were carried out in the area, and the proper operation of the system could not be realised due to a lack of resources. The technical content of the project — the clean-up of the entire area up to the remediation target state limit D — is not expected to be achieved by 31 December 2020 and therefore the project needs to be phased out. The tasks related to the planned project required to achieve the target state can be divided into two distinct groups as follows: Construction works (Section I) — removal of excavated waste from industrial origin — removal of pollution — on-site protection of waste discovered in T5 area — installation (operation) of a leaking/sparking drainage system — construction of a water treatment plant (operation) Operation of a water treatment plant (Section II) — operation of a water treatment system, water purification The project can achieve the objectives expected of it by effectively operating the already built system, so the operation of the system is essential for the realisation of an effective project. The basic objective of the project proposal is to prevent the further spread of pollution and to remediate the already contaminated soil layer up to an acceptable level of risk (‘remediation target state D’ up to the limit value) on the basis of an environmental risk assessment. Other objectives that contribute to the achievement of the basic objective are: • Stop the spread of dangerous substances in air and groundwater by eliminating/mitigating pollution in the area, eliminating the exposure of the local population and workers in the Industrial Park to human health risks. • Prevent contamination from spreading to other environmental compartments or from spreading to underground karst water by extracting and cleansing wastes which are sources of pollution and contaminated soil layers. By doing so, reducing the remote risk of karst water wells in Pétfürdő. • Preventing further spread of contamination: reduce the amount of contaminants that are discharged by rainwater into the water of the river, depending on the possibility of contamination of the rainwater. The objectives of the project proposal are consistent with and contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the proposal and of the relevant EU and domestic policies. As a result of the achievement of the project’s objectives, the quality of groundwater and the geological medium is improved, their contamination is reduced, and the risk of the receptors is significantly reduced. In Phase I of the project, the following water facilities were constructed for the remediation activities and inspections carried out on the contaminated site of the Berhida Industrial Site: • groundwater drains and wells; • desiccant cords; • water pipes (contaminated water, purified water pressure pipes); • water purification equipment; • monitoring wells. During the operation of the built system, we intend to ensure that the polluting components in the area fall below the prescribed pollution limit “D” by the date of completion of the operation of the installations built under the project (the physical closure of the project) and that no pollutant exceeding the limit values in the depleted area will be observed during the subsequent follow-up monitoring activities. The operating and maintenance costs will be taken into account in the project, increased by VAT, because the project promoter is not a VAT reclaimer. No replacement and refurbishment costs will be incurred for the project. On the basis of the examination of the net revenue generation of the project, the project is not a net revenue producer because its revenue is based on the following items (cf. Article 61 of Regulation (EC) No 1303/2013). The project is eligible because the eligibility requirements are met. The value of the project indicators is given in brackets: • based on the economic cost-benefit analysis, social utility can be demonstrated (ENPV: HUF 6.221). • the financial analysis criterion — not relevant, not calculated because the project is not a net revenue producer. • based on a cash flow analysis of the financial analysis, it can be demonstrated that the operation of the assets created under the project, the level of service is financially sustainable, the cumulative operating cash flow is not negative in any year. The investment is financially sustainable because the necessary resources are available through grants (as all costs are eligible). The project was planned to be implemented in the 2014-2020 EU funding period using EU funds, and the expected start of operation can be estimat...
