10/10/2013 The government has approved the establishment of the
factory for production of ammonia in the Negev to replace the tank in
the Haifa Bay. After years of struggle, the government has approved the
transfer of the ammonia tank in the south . Haifa Mayor Yona Yahav
has made sure that in the decision of the government it is indeed written
that the ammonia tank in the Bay does not remain active .
Mayor Yona Yahav, expressed his satisfaction with the impending
decision and said that " the Israeli government will record a historic
decision that will end 20 years of procrastination and irresponsibility .
Our determined position expressed in the government's decision remains
that the shield is insufficient, and that the only solution to the problem is
to remove the plant from the heart of the metropolitan area of Haifa. All
residents of the metropolitan area of Haifa will thank the government of
Israel when the tank ammonia is removed from the Haifa Bay . "
The presence of the reservoir that contains all the ammonia consumed in
Israel near densely populated areas, presents security risks in front of the
anarchy that threatens the north of the country, as we saw in the second
Lebanon war. The risks for the ammonia tank are intensified by the fact
that the transport of ammonia is carried by containers from the port of
Haifa. The government's decision will end the absurdity of transporting
ammonia from the Haifa Bay to the Rotem plain, in the south of the
country, so that the danger hits the streets of Haifa and the roads
throughout the country. " The construction of the new plant will be
promoted by an interministerial committee whose board will be a
collaboration between the Ministries of Environment, Economy,
National Infrastructure, Energy and water, Passive Command, the
director of the defense budget of the Ministry of Finance, the Director of
the Authority of national projects of Israel and the Ministry of the
Interior . The construction of the new plant will be declared project of
importance and urgency . Country offices and government will give
priority to deal with the subject . The draft resolution also states that the
Minister of the Environment will be responsible for monitoring the
implementation of the resolution and for reporting to the government
every six months On the progress of the project. The Director of the
Prime Minister Office will arbitrate disputes arising in the
implementation of the decision. "
