Dumping of dredging waste

Soft dredging waste that cannot be used for other purposes may be dumped in a designated sea area next to Rövargrundet in Espoo. Only Espoo-based dredging waste can be dumped in the area. The dredging waste may only contain minor levels of harmful substances. To dump dredging waste, you need a water permit issued by the Regional State Administrative Agency for Southern Finland. You must apply for a permit to dump dredging waste next to Rövargrundet from the Public Works Department.
