Imiphumela yezifundo ezimbili zeminyaka eminingi zekhwalithi yomoya iphenya izikhalazo ezivela kubahlali bezindawo zezimboni eDelaware.
Izakhamizi eziseduze neGadi yase-Edene eduze kwasePort of Wilmington zihlala embonini. Kodwa uMnyango Wezemvelo Wezemvelo kanye Nokulawulwa Kwemvelo (DNREC) uthe uthole ukuthi izinkomba eziningi zekhwalithi yomoya emphakathini zingaphansi kwamazinga ezempilo kahulumeni kanye nesifundazwe-ngaphandle kothuli. Izikhulu zithi uthuli oluvuswe eduze luqhamuka enhlabathini, ukhonkolo, izimoto eziphukile namathayi.
Sekuyiminyaka izakhamuzi zase-Eden Park zikhala ngokuthi uthuli olusemoyeni luzokwehlisa izinga lempilo yazo. Abantu abaningi baze basho ngocwaningo luka-2018 ukuthi uma uhulumeni ebathenga bazophuma emphakathini.
U-Angela Marconi uyinhloko yomnyango wekhwalithi yomoya we-DNREC. Uthe izikhungo eziseduze ezikhiqiza uthuli lukakhonkolo sezakhe uhlelo lokulawula uthuli-kodwa i-DNREC izolandelela nyanga zonke ukuze iqinisekise ukuthi zenza okwanele.
“Sicabanga ukunisela inhlabathi, ukugcina umhlabathi ushanela nokugcina iloli lihlanzekile,” kusho yena. “Lona wumsebenzi wokulungisa okufanele wenziwe ngaso sonke isikhathi.”
Ngo-2019, i-DNREC yagunyaza ukusebenza okwengeziwe endaweni lapho kulindeleke khona ukukhishwa kwezintuli. I-Walan Specialty Construction Products ithole imvume yokwakha indawo yokomisa nokugaya i-slag eningizimu yeWilmington. Abamele izinkampani basho ngo-2018 ukuthi balindele ukukhishwa kwezinhlayiya, ama-sulfur oxides, ama-nitrogen oxides ne-carbon monoxide kube ngaphansi kwemingcele e-Newcastle County. I-DNREC yaphetha ngaleso sikhathi ukuthi iphrojekthi yokwakha ehlongozwayo ihambisana nemithetho neziqondiso zokungcoliswa komoya zikahulumeni nezombuso. UMarconi uthe ngoLwesithathu uVaran akakaqali ukusebenza.
I-DNREC izobamba umhlangano womphakathi obonakalayo ngo-6 ntambama ngoJuni 23 ukudingida imiphumela yocwaningo lwase-Edene.
Ucwaningo lwesibili olwenziwa e-Claremont luphenye ukukhathazeka kwezakhamizi mayelana nezinhlanganisela zezinto eziphilayo eziguquguqukayo emingceleni yezimboni yase-Marcus Hook, ePennsylvania. I-DNREC ithole ukuthi amazinga alawa makhemikhali angabangela izinkinga eziningi zempilo aphansi kakhulu, afana namazinga esiteshini sokuqapha e-Wilmington.
Uthe: “Izimboni eziningi ebezikhathaza esikhathini esidlule azisasebenzi noma zenze izinguquko ezinkulu muva nje.”

Izikhulu zikahulumeni zoMnyango Wezemvelo kanye Nokulawulwa Kwemvelo ziyazi ukuthi amazinga othuli eNsimini yase-Edene ayakhuphuka, kodwa awazi ukuthi uthuli luvelaphi.
Ngenyanga edlule, bafake izinto ezintsha ezizobasiza ukuxazulula le nkinga-ngokubheka izingxenye ezithile zothuli futhi bazilandele ngesikhathi sangempela ngokusekelwe endleleni yomoya.
Iminyaka eminingi, i-Eden Park kanye ne-Hamilton Park bebelokhu bekhuthaza ukuxazulula izinkinga zemvelo emiphakathini yabo. Imiphumela yakamuva yenhlolovo yomphakathi ibonisa imibono yezakhamuzi ngalezi zinkinga kanye nemicabango yazo ngokuthuthela kwenye indawo.
Izakhamizi zaseSouthbridge zizocela ezinye izimpendulo mayelana nendawo ehlongozwayo yokugaya i-slag emhlanganweni womphakathi ngoMgqibelo.
