(haipo) - The electric company wants to place a 20,000-liter diesel fuel tank on its territory, in the southern entrances of Haifa - residents of the Neot Peres neighborhood express concern that this could pose a danger to the nearby residential buildings.
The electric company has applied for a permit from the municipality in order to be able to place a generator and a 20,000 liter diesel tank near the company's building in the southern entrances of Haifa. Residents living in the Naot Peres neighborhood express concern that the diesel tank will be placed near residential houses in the neighborhood.
From an inspection we conducted in Hai Pa, it appears that the purpose of the generator (which will be powered by diesel) is to allow the electric company to serve as a backup for the electric company in an emergency.
A resident of the Naot Peres neighborhood, from whose balcony you can see the place where the diesel tank is supposed to be, said to Lahi Fe: "The electric company submitted to the municipality a request for a construction permit for a 20,000-liter diesel tank, in October 2023. We believe that we do not have to use diesel, but there is a solution of energy for a penny, like accumulators that store energy in batteries and can be used when needed. This is cleaner energy," he says.
"Diesel burning is problematic when it is done near residential houses. In my opinion, 30,000 liters of diesel that are close to a residential area (20,000 liters are added to the 10,000 liters that are already there), even if they are buried in the ground, endanger the tenants who live nearby, as well as those who are yet to live in the area I would have expected them to attach the tank to the Electric Company building or alternatively to use safer energy. I see it from my window, it looks very close to the houses. The residents should have been informed if they were adding 20,000 liters of diesel so close to the houses.
"Basic rules must be observed, otherwise an unacceptable risk to the public will be created"
Yaron Hanan, an expert in emergency situations and risk management, explained the dangers of a diesel tank: "Preparing an infrastructure for decentralized electricity generation, as a backup for an emergency, is extremely essential at this time, especially when the threat of an escalation of the war in the north hovers above us, to the point of damaging the electricity supply infrastructure in the country and in the metropolis Haifa. However, putting such a large tank to store diesel fuel near the generator is a big risk in itself," Hanan says.
"Therefore, it is the duty of the Planning and Construction Committee to ensure that the basic rules for the protection of the public and the environment are observed, including: shielding the tank, storage tanks (dedicated tubs where large tanks sit that store substances that must not leak from the tank) to absorb diesel spillage in the event of a tank rupture, as well as available extinguishing media to prevent the spread Fire in the event of a direct hit to the container. Without all of these, there would be an additional and unacceptable risk to the public."
"The generator and the diesel tank have been approved by all the authorities and are now in the permit stages from the Haifa Municipality"
The electricity company delivered to Hai Pa:
"The electric company is preparing to provide services in an emergency, and as part of this, it is working to install a generator in the complex of its main office building, which will be used to back up the company's essential systems in the event of an emergency only. A generator from any diesel fuel that may be buried in the ground. This was approved by all the authorized authorities, including the Home Front Command, Quality The environment, etc. and is now in the permit stages from the Haifa municipality."
Ahhhh it will lie,,,, ohhhh it's fine - I approve.
There are hundreds of gas stations near houses,,,,as long as there is no disaster - there is no problem.
LOL.
Hahahahahahahahaha.
Navot Peres = bottom citrus hahahahahaha.
Yona Yahav was about to approve in October 2018 a 3-fold increase for the refineries with a cracker and the addition of pollution and dangerous fuels.
You mean 30 thousand liters of diesel? Yahav will approve 50 there. If you want 100, take 100.
Chimneys will soon appear - you will find out that Yahav approved a small private power station for them in the complex.
This is what you voted for and this is what you will get.
Yona Yahav in 2018 petitioned against the state and the refineries regarding their request to expand and won the petition...
An essential facility for the company's integrity. Navot Peres is an unnecessary neighborhood, an architect profited from garbage.
I love you
Why not do it on a dedicated site far from populated places? It's like deciding to set up a fire area near the school. What's going on in this country? Whoever decided on this should donate the area of his house to set up the tank at his home
The Electric Company dominates a lot that can accommodate 4 more employment towers
A huge above-ground parking lot is a terrible waste of space that might have been acceptable 20 years ago - certainly not in today's density of multiple uses and pedestrian-biased urban planning and public transportation. We need to end the celebrations of huge parking lots in the southern entrances and in Matam and oblige the companies to make shuttles and produce from the complex of The electric company at least 2 more employment towers. If they sell - the municipality should increase their rights on the lot.
What about diesel tanks, what is their industrial area? What will happen here??? It's an office tower
As usual, they exploit a very weak, destructive city engineer - Ariel Waterman.
Sarit Golan is now the chairman of a local committee - do something that will change, it is impossible to continue like this.
Diesel is not dangerous. It's not gasoline or oil. More like oil. The danger is in case of leakage to the ground, environmental danger.
You said a leak to the ground and it is a huge amount.
By the way, a penny of energy is not necessarily a safety solution. Green until it explodes doesn't understand it enough but a battery with quite a bit of damage potential. Certainly when it comes to something very big
An oriental master cooking on the fire on the balcony is no less dangerous
dreamed
In total, a cube of 2.7 meters - just press big numbers...
20,000 liters = 20 cubic meters = a cube of 5*2*2 = a round container with a diameter of 2.4 and a height of 4.4 m
What is not acceptable? At every gas station there is an underground diesel + gasoline tank
And there are gas stations near residential and commercial buildings, including the Haifa Mall, the Carmel Center and much more
It is true that there are no generators running at fuel stations, but the air pollution from vehicles is there
Also on the high floors of Navot Peres there are emergency generators to operate the elevators. And you?
I run a gas station, there is no danger in diesel, what's more, the tank is under the ground. I don't understand what people think. The electricity company just invests money in this underground tank for emergencies! What to do neighbors you can't choose
Why attach to residential buildings? that an electricity company be attached to the building,
I hope the municipality will not approve it.
Dreamed !!!
If Hezbollah decides yes to shell Haifa..that we don't know..very dangerous..why approve? Who approved? Again lack of thinking about the residents? How could they have allowed it?
In a dream state, as a dream state.
Maybe now Yona Yahav will reverse the decision.
Even an electricity company, you don't trust the electricity of an electricity company...
Let them switch to solar.
For an electricity company with a huge area, why choose specifically near residential buildings?
It is certainly appropriate that the Haifa municipality eliminate dangers within the neighborhoods. The increase in air pollution is understandable, certainly not the "transfer" of the pollution to the southern entrances of the city.
If this were a site dealing with proper electricity supply, it would be possible to get it here, this is an office building next to a residential neighborhood. clearly unacceptable.
The poor of Haifa must leave Israel because of the poor quality of the environment
