MinImpact - a Interreg Aurora project

The MinImpact project will build best practices regarding the handling of environmentally hazardous sulfidic soils and via the projects cross-border network use a mutual transfer of knowledge between the partners and the target group, i.e., permit-granting and supervisory authorities, consultants, municipal urban planning offices, landfill management companies and national transport authorities.

FUNDERS: Interreg Aurora, Regional Council of Lapland, Region Norrbotten, Region Västerbotten.

PROJECT TIME: 2023-10-01 – 2026-09-30

PROJECT OWNER: Novia University of Applied Sciences.

PROJECT PARTNERS: Luleå University of Technology, Dåva Deponi och Avfallscenter i Umeå AB and Linnaeus University.

PROJECT COORDINATOR: Eva Högfors-Rönnholm

The project activities consist of field experiments with complementary laboratory experiments, where management techniques of sulfidic soils under waterlogged and drained conditions and with different amendments are investigated in order to enhance the existing knowledge base. The project will result in a report on best practices to support authorities and contractors during the permitting process to allow a local and resource efficient management of the excavated soil.
