Report on the ICOMOS Mission to Castelnaudary (Canal du Midi), April 1997

In February 1997 the French organisation "Comité des riverains de la Zone industrielle en Tourre-Bagatelle" from Castelnaudary, submitted a report to the Secretariat on the construction of a waste dump for the transformation and re-use of waste in the vicinity of the Canal. This waste comprises the residue (mud) of urban waste purification, manure, slaughterhouse waste as well as bio-degradable industrial waste (carton). In response to this report, ICOMOS undertook a mission to Castelnaudary in April 1997.
