Dolovi Landfill
Above guideline valueMedia tested
Summary
Dolovi is a small local municipal-waste landfill of about a quarter of a hectare, without supporting infrastructure, set beside the Brodar–Rudo main road near the river Lim. Surface and deeper soil layers were tested. No substance reached a level indicating a need for cleanup, but cadmium and nickel throughout the soil, and copper and zinc in places, were above the level at which land is no longer considered clean.
