According to the Waste Act (646/2011) and municipal waste management regulations, every permanent and holiday residential property must be covered by the municipal waste management system. Property-based waste transport is connected to the property with its own waste container or a waste container shared with neighboring properties, i.e. a shared container. Holiday homes also have the option of taking their waste to a regional collection point or waste station. In all options, the connection is agreed with Lakeuden Etappi Oy.

An exemption from connection can be applied for if the residential building is completely unused or empty for justified reasons. The exemption from connection is processed by the waste management authority, which is the Lakeuden Waste Board. The municipal environmental protection authority decides on any possible compulsory measures regarding connection.

On 21.8.2024 August 59, the Kihniö Technical Board ordered the owner of the property RN:o 250-401-24-2 to connect his property to the property waste transport system by entering into an agreement with Lakeuden Etap. The order had to be complied with regardless of any appeal (JL § 139). The main obligation was enhanced by a running penalty, the basic amount of which is €1000 per main obligation not complied with and an additional amount of €200 for each calendar month following the set deadline.

According to information received from the waste management authority on November 21, 2024, property RN:o 250-401-24-2 has been connected to property-based waste transport. The main obligation has been fulfilled by the deadline, so the penalty notice procedure lapses.

The Kihniö Technical Board is the environmental protection authority of the municipality of Kihniö and is therefore competent to decide on issuing regulations in accordance with the Waste Act and imposing a penalty fine.

The Hämeenlinna Administrative Court requests a response from the Kihniö Technical Board to the appeal that Alvarin Sora ja Murske Oy has filed with the Hämeenlinna Administrative Court against the decisions of the Kihniö Technical Board of 11 September 2024, Sections 72 and 73. The deadline for submitting a statement has been set until 31 January 2025.

This concerns the decisions of the Kihniö Technical Board of 11 September 2024, § 72 and § 73, which have ordered Alvarin Sora ja Murske Oy to landscape the property Louhimo RN:o 250-407-3-164 (§ 72) and to build a 1,8-meter-high steel mesh fence on the southern and western borders of the quarry area of ​​the property Vähämäki RN:o 250-407-3-132 (§ 73). The order is reinforced by a threat of commission in § 72 and a running penalty in § 73 as an enhancement of the main obligation.

A proposal for a response to the matter is attached.

The Lakeuden Waste Board requests a statement on the amendment to Section 11 of the Waste Management Regulations.

According to the proposal for waste management regulations, the possibility of using regional collection points for waste management in permanent residences in the Kihniö municipality is being eliminated. The reason for the exception was the poor condition of the road network, and the reason is considered to have lapsed.

Waste management can be arranged in accordance with the rest of the area with your own waste container or a shared waste container with your nearest neighbour, which means that the service is close to the user and the service will generally also be more affordable. The change affects 55 households and is proposed to come into effect from 1 May 2025. The current regional collection points will remain for use by leisure residents.

The sites within the scope of regional waste collection in the Kihniö municipality have been mapped by the waste company and it has been determined that at 54 properties the waste container could be emptied in the immediate vicinity of the building and at one site the waste container should be placed along a main road approximately 300 m from an inhabited building.

The regional collection fee for a permanent residence is €19,13/month (incl. VAT). The emptying fee for combustible waste collected from the property, for example a 240 L container, is €8,87/time. The container is emptied at least every two weeks in urban areas and at least every four weeks in sparsely populated areas. The monthly cost for those connected to waste management is then €8,87-17,74 (monthly.

You can apply to the Lakeuden Waste Board or Lakeuden Etap for an extended emptying interval for the incinerator container for your property, if the property sorts and composts biowaste separately. The emptying interval can be extended by a maximum of four weeks in an urban area and eight weeks in a sparsely populated area. The monthly cost for those connected to waste management is then €4,44-8,87 (monthly.

For those involved in waste management, property-specific waste collection is generally more affordable than regional collection. The size of the waste container and the frequency of emptying affect costs, but those involved can influence them through their actions.

BACKGROUND

On 31 January 2024, the Technical Committee of the Municipality of Kihniö granted Seija Risberg a joint permit for the excavation and crushing of rock material for a 0,45 ha extraction area and a total extraction volume of 40,000 m3 on the property Rajalammi RN:o 250-403-14-36. The entire area of ​​the plan area is 2 ha. The permit is valid for ten years. A deposit of 15,000 euros has been required as security for the aftercare work, which has not been provided.

Previous permits

The area has previously had a soil permit from 2012 to 2022 and is now applying for a joint permit to continue the operation. The operation has not previously had an environmental permit for quarrying and crushing. Rock materials have been quarried from approximately 0,7 ha of the area.

Before commencing extraction operations in accordance with this permit, the permit applicant must request the supervisory authority to conduct an initial inspection on site, which will determine the markings of the extraction area, any structures for storing machinery, and permit requirements.

Inspection 18.9.2024

On 18 September 2024, the environmental inspector carried out an inspection of the quarry area. During the inspection, several oil-contaminated areas were observed in the southern part of the planning area. However, there has been no extraction activity in the area during the current permit, so either the oil leaks are older or caused by an external party. According to the permit decision, machinery may not be stored, maintained or refuelled in the operating area without appropriate protective structures. During the inspection, no machinery or equipment was found in the area.

The steep slopes of the intake area were not protected and there were no warning signs. To the north of the quarry was a storage pile of crushed stone and a rusted oil drum.

The boundaries of the extraction and excavation area were not marked on the terrain. According to the joint permit decision, the protection zone to be left for neighboring properties must be at least 10 meters and must be left outside the extraction and storage operations. The maximum permitted extraction depth of soil materials is +156,20 (N₂₀₀₀). There was no elevation marking in the area from which the extraction depth could be checked at all times. There was approximately 50 cm of water at the bottom of the quarry, which must be discharged into the environment in a controlled manner before operations begin. According to the joint permit decision, quarry waters must be treated in such a way that they do not cause waterlogging or other harm to neighboring properties. The filter structure built in the operation area must be enhanced with a settling basin if necessary. Direct discharge of quarry waters into a ditch or watercourse is prohibited. Once excavation has begun, the bottom of the extraction area must be sloped so that surface water does not accumulate there in the future.

The person taking soil must annually submit a notification to the Notto system regarding the amount of soil taken in accordance with the Soil Act and Section 9 of the Soil Decree.

Security deposit

The licensee's contact person has been in contact via email regarding the security. The licensee has had discussions with the bank. A deposit pledged to a private licensee is the only option for providing security, but according to the contact person this is an excluded option. The licensee would like to negotiate with the municipality about an alternative way to provide security.

COMPLIANCE WITH THE SOIL MATERIAL PERMIT AND CONTROL HISTORY

Since this is an existing rock quarry where aftercare and landscaping work have not been carried out, the security deposit must be posted immediately. The environmental inspector has urged in the inspection memorandum dated 18.9.2024 to post the security deposit immediately. The matter is being moved to administrative enforcement proceedings.

Before issuing a possible order to post a security, the environmental protection authority reserved the opportunity to submit a response to the matter. The response had to be submitted to the Kihniö Technical Board by 20 December 2024, under the threat that the environmental protection authority could then order the posting of a security pursuant to Section 175 of the Environmental Protection Act.

BACKGROUND

Maanrakennus K Viitaharju Oy has a joint permit issued by the Technical Committee of Kihniö Municipality on 17.10.2018, Section 50, for the excavation and crushing of 200,000 m of rock material.³ for the total extraction volume on the property Männikkö RN:o 250-407-1-79. The rock quarry has been found to be operating in violation of the joint permit provisions for several years.

Inspection 30.9.2020

The operation had begun even though the permit holder had not requested a start-up inspection (permit provision 3). There were no markings in the area regarding the extraction area or extraction depth required by the permit, and the extraction area had not been protected as required by the permit (permit provision 1). In order to bring the operation into compliance with the joint permit, the operator was given the following instructions before continuing operations in the area:

• The permit holder must bring to the area by 31 October 2020 the markings of the permitted extraction area or the marking of the property boundary and the height marking on a rock or other permanent object, from which the extent of the extraction area and the height of the extraction can be monitored inside the quarry.
• protect the area with at least flag lines immediately and no later than October 16, 2020
• submit a security deposit of €20 in accordance with the soil permit to the municipality of Kihniö immediately and no later than October 000, 16.10.2020

• submit the report on the agreement for the use of the private road required for the permit by October 31, 2020
• fill the extraction area that has advanced too close to the neighbor's boundary so that a 10-meter protection zone as required by the permit remains between the quarry and the boundary; in future, excavation must take into account the protection zone required by the permit on the boundaries of neighboring properties
• fill the extraction area that has progressed too deep with quarries in the area and ensure that the depth of the extraction area is at its lowest +160,00; a height mark must also be made on the rock to monitor the depth of the extraction area
• submit the security required for the permit to the municipality of Kihniö without delay and no later than August 31, 2021
• take care of the road contract in accordance with the permit
• to construct a clarification basin through which the waters of the quarry area must be led in accordance with permit provision 6
• to fill the too deep extraction with quarries in the area to a level of +160,00 and to slope the bottom of the extraction area so that surface water does not accumulate there
• to mark the area's interest rate and lowest extraction level in a place where they will remain permanently throughout the extraction operation in accordance with permit regulation 7
• to mark the boundaries of the quarry area with stakes in the terrain
• to install a protective mesh fence around the quarry area in accordance with permit provision 1
• to immediately submit the road contract to the municipality of Kihniö (permit order 30)
• Joint permit decision, technical committee 17.10.2018 § 50
• audit memo 27.11.2024
• orthophoto of the area

In addition to the above measures, it was announced that if the measures required by the permit are not carried out by the deadline, the environmental protection authority may take action to rectify the activity in violation of the permit or suspend the activity in accordance with the permit.

Response 21.1.2021

The permit holder submitted its response to the comments on 21 January 2021. According to the response, the edges were protected with a safety rope, the boundaries and heights were marked on a map and they would be marked with stakes in the terrain after the snow melted. In addition, the height marking would be driven into the rock when the water was pumped.

Inspection 18.8.2021

The steep walls of the extraction area were protected with tape. However, no excavation area markings or elevation markings were observed in the area. According to the submitted map drawing, the water level in the area is +158,46, when the lowest permitted extraction depth is +160,00, so the extraction has proceeded too deep. According to the map, the rock has also been excavated too close to the neighbor's border in the northeastern part of the area. The protection distance should be 10 meters, but the extraction has proceeded a couple of meters from the border.

In order to bring the operation into compliance with the environmental permit, the operator was given the following instructions:

In addition to the above measures, it was announced that if the extraction that has progressed too far and deep is not corrected in accordance with the instructions by 31 December 2021, the environmental protection authority may take action to correct the operation that is contrary to the permit or suspend the operation in accordance with the permit. Repeated violations will also be reported to the police. During the 2021 operating period, 6000 km were extracted from the area³ from rock material.

Inspection 7.9.2022

The plastic strip placed to protect the steep walls of the extraction area was carelessly on the ground. Otherwise, the situation was similar to the previous year and the requested measures had not been carried out. The operator was given similar instructions as in previous years and their deadline was 31 December 2022. No extraction was carried out in the area in 2022.

Inspection 15.11.2023

Based on the inspection, the situation at the rock quarry is similar to 2022. When the permit provisions that are a prerequisite for granting a permit are not complied with, the operation is not in accordance with the joint permit. The inspection memorandum stated that the matter would be referred to the technical committee. The operator was advised to:

• fills the extraction that has progressed too close to the neighbor's boundary so that a 10-meter protection zone remains between the quarry and the boundary in accordance with permit provision 19

During the 2023 operating period, 10,000 km of the area was taken³ from rock material.

Consultation letter 3.1.2024

The environmental inspector sent the operator a letter of consultation regarding the non-compliance with the permit provisions of the joint permit. The letter of consultation stated that the latest inspection on 15 November 2023 found that the recommendations issued on the basis of the inspection visit carried out on 7 September 2022 had not been complied with by the deadline of 31 December 2022. If the recommended measures to bring the operation into compliance with the joint permit are not complied with, the matter will be referred to the technical committee to initiate administrative enforcement measures. A threat of a fine may be imposed as a reinforcement of the regulations.

Before issuing a possible order to bring the operation into compliance with the joint permit, the environmental protection authority reserves the opportunity for you to submit a response to the matter. The response must be submitted by 31 January 2024, under the threat that the environmental protection authority may then decide on the obligations without a response. The environmental protection authority may further take coercive measures (e.g. a threatened fine) to bring the operation into compliance with the joint permit if the order is not complied with.

Response 31.1.2024

According to the operator, the steep edges of the area are protected with protective ropes and topsoil. The protective ropes have had to be installed several times, as they are apparently being cut in the area. The last time the strips were installed was in the summer of 2023. In the spring, when the snow melts, the plan is to build a mesh fence in the area, which will hopefully stay up better.

The rock elevation markings (the intake level) had been marked on the rock wall by painting, but they were lost during the excavation in September-October 2023. The intake level will be marked on the rock again in the spring, and in addition, efforts are being made to install a pile at the edge of the quarry to mark the intake level.

The elevation of the area has been marked on the stone walls and a map drawing of it has been submitted to the city. The boundaries have been marked with walls, but piles will be installed on them in the spring so that they are more clearly visible.

When mining the area in the fall of 2023, quarry rock was left in storage at the bottom of the pit to fill in any overly deep areas so that the bottom of the pit would be within the permitted extraction depth. During the crushing, quarry rock was used to raise the bottom of the pit, but it was not possible to measure it when winter came.

In addition, quarry stone is used to fill the edge of the neighbor's boundary if the extraction has gone too close to the boundary.

Water has not previously had to be pumped from the quarry area, but if it does have to, a clarification basin will be built on the edge of the area, from which the water will be drained in a controlled manner.

The road contract will be submitted to the Kihniö municipality as soon as possible. The necessary work will be carried out in April-May 2024, as soon as the snow melts.

Compliance with main obligations
On 6 March 2024, the Technical Committee of the Municipality of Kihniö ordered the permit holder, by its decision under Section 21, to submit an agreement on the use of private roads (main obligation 1) and to cease operations in violation of the permit and to restore the quarry to compliance with the joint permit (main obligation 2). A running penalty was imposed as an enhancement to the obligations. Main obligation 1 was fulfilled on 22 March 2024. The deadline for main obligation 2 was 20 May 2024. The permit holder requested an additional week on 23 May 2024. A re-inspection was carried out on 12 June 2024 and it was determined that main obligation 2 had only been partially complied with.

On 11 September 2024, the Kihniö Technical Board decided, in accordance with Section 75, to reserve the permit holder the opportunity to be heard and provide an explanation before the decision to impose a conditional fine. The permit holder submitted an explanation on 30 September 2024. According to the explanation, the schedule has been too tight due to various reasons and additional time for implementing the measures was requested until 15 October 2024. In addition, the explanation states that an application for a change permit is planned for the area to extend the intake area closer to the border of neighboring properties and to deepen the lowest intake level. Additional time was requested for submitting the application for a change permit until 15 November 2024. However, the application for a change permit has not been submitted by the deadline.

Inspection 27.11.2024
The inspection found that a mesh fence had been erected on the northeastern edge of the extraction area to protect against the cliffs. New barbed wire had been installed on the eastern and southeastern edges. No markings were observed from the lowest extraction level. Rock had been blasted from the eastern corner of the extraction area up to the border of the neighboring property. The safety distance to the border of the neighboring property and its slope were still insufficient (less than 10 m). There was plastic debris, pieces of rope and pieces of mirror near the fence. The extraction that had progressed too deep has not been filled and the water level at the bottom of the quarry area is unchanged. The quarry area has not been returned to the state in accordance with the joint permit, so main obligation 2 has not been fulfilled. As a result, the matter will be taken to the technical board, where rock extraction will be suspended and the imposed penalty will be ordered to be paid.

On 21 January 2025, the permit holder submitted a draft of the preliminary land exchange agreement to the environmental inspector. With the agreement, the permit holder would exchange its own property in the designated area 250-407-1-79 for the designated area of ​​the neighboring property in the 250-403-1-24 point, where the excavation has progressed up to the border of the neighboring property. The agreement had not been signed. The change of the designated area does not change the 10-meter protection zone required by the permit conditions. An amendment to the valid permit must be applied for if the delimitation of the extraction area or the protection distances are to be changed.

JOINT LICENSE COMPLIANCE AND SUPERVISION HISTORY

Maanrakennus K Viitaharju Oy has repeatedly acted in violation of the permit provisions of the joint permit and several reminders have had to be issued over the last four years. The reminders issued have also not been complied with to a sufficient extent by the deadlines or within the requested additional periods. The supervision is described in this decision, and it shows the number of reminders issued in the matter and the response to them. For example, the agreement required by the permit for the use of a private road had to be submitted by 31 October 2020.

Construction site and its location:

The construction site is an existing 4960 m2 building site with property code 250-401-17-1. The construction site borders Lake Kankarinjärvi for approximately 56 meters.

Station diagram as accompanying material.

Suggested action:

A deviation is being sought for exceeding the total floor area of ​​the building site permitted in the building regulations by 21 m2. The applicant wants to build a new leisure building in place of the old one and demolish the old building. The new leisure building will be located 33 meters from the shoreline.

Construction status:

There is an existing leisure building of 96 m2 on the construction site, which was put into use in 2017 after renovation. In addition, there is a sauna building of 24 m2 and a storage building of 30 m2 on the construction site.

Prohibitions, restrictions and schematic situation:

There is no valid waterfront plan in the area. In this case, the regulations and instructions of the Kihniö Municipality Building Regulations apply to construction. The building right for a property under 5000 m2 under section 7.2 of the Building Regulations is 125 m2 of so-called warm space (leisure building, sauna, barn) + 30 m2 of cold storage space + 30 m2 of roof space + 16 m2 of smoke sauna. The buildings must be located in relation to the shore in such a way that the distance from the shoreline to buildings other than sauna buildings must be at least 20 meters. The sauna building can be located at least 15 meters from the shore.

Consulting neighbors:

The neighbors have no objections to the matter. (MRL § 133)

Justifications for the requirement for deviation:

According to Section 171 of the MRL, the municipality has the power to make exceptions.

The current built-up floor area of ​​the property is 150 m2. With the construction of the new leisure building, the built-up floor area of ​​the property would be 156 m2.

The planned construction will not cause a significant change. The construction will adapt to the coastal landscape and other environments. The deviation will not cause harm to the landscape values ​​of the area or to nature and water protection. The deviation will not cause harm to zoning, the implementation of the plan or other organization of the use of areas. The deviation will also not lead to construction with a significant impact or otherwise cause significant harmful environmental or other impacts.
