In cattle cemetery built sports complex

---------------------------------------

Specialists VyatGU in Russia have proved that the

territory of the former anthrax cattle cemetery poses no danger to residents.



The green area of 1500 square meters [1794 square

yards] on the streets of Moscow, opposite the

House of press "Vyatka," was ownerless for 80

years. The reason: Formerly it had been a burial

site for diseased animals. Two years ago, experts

at the Vyatka State University decided to

investigate what dangers this land presented.



The scientists took 180 soil samples, which were

then sent to the Saratov Institute "Microbe."

Anthrax spores were not detected and so the chief

sanitary doctor Gennady Onishchenko decided to

reduce the sanitary protection zone about the

cattle cemetery from 1500 to 50 sq. meters [60

square yards]. The scientists have proposed to

preserve the 50 sq. meters, and the remaining

1450 sq. meters to be used for the construction

of socially significant University structures.

The university needs a brand new "Polytechnical" sports complex.



Construction on the remaining cattle cemetery

site includes fencing and monitoring conditions.

The action plan includes, inter alia, the

creation of embankments and asphalt. All this is

intended to strengthen the security guarantees

for the facility, said Julia Ageyeva, the spokesperson for VyatGU.



Work on former cattle cemetery site will begin

immediately after the signing of the tripartite

plan between the Vyatka State University,

Rosselkhoznadzor and Rospotrebnadzor. The draft

for area development is being prepared.

reports about this historic cattle grave, but

little of any meaning. It is fortunate that it

appears to be safe for development. - Mod.MHJ]
