From 1895 until 2005, the Rio de Janeiro Gasometer area, where Flamengo wants its football stadium to be built, functioned as a gas storage and distribution center. Because of this, the soil on the land was contaminated, especially in cases of pipe leaks during the period of most intense activity. The document released by Rio City Hall this Tuesday (07/09) shows that the degree and type of contamination at the site are still unknown.

At the beginning of it all, in 1895, gas was produced from the burning of mineral coal. In 1911, being considered the largest in the world in this type of production, the Rio Gasometer operated to supply 180 thousand cubic meters of gas per day.


Some academic works observed this issue of soil contamination in the region of Gasometer. Among them is that of Mariana Velasco Gomes de Almeida, who wrote her master's thesis “Contamination of port areas — a case study in the port of Rio de Janeiro”, in the Postgraduate Program in Urban and Environmental Engineering at PUC-Rio . In the text, presented in 2015, Mariana highlighted that the first geoenvironmental studies were carried out in the area in 1997.


Five years later, in 2002, new studies were carried out that detected chemicals such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene in the field and xylenes; Hydrocarbons; lead, copper, nickel, arsenic, mercury and cyanide. All above the acceptable quantity.

“It is not known for sure how this waste was disposed of on the land, that is, if it was placed in a specific place or if it was just left in direct contact with the soil at the site. “, emphasizes Mariana Velasco in her research.


In 2011, the State Environmental Institute (Inea) diagnosed the space as a Contaminated Area under Investigation (ACI). The following year, the land passed to the Porto Region Urban Development Company (CDURP). Subsequently, in 2013, another decontamination plan was presented. But it was not implemented. In Inea's processes, it does not appear that the area is suitable for changing land use and occupation.

New information has emerged about the legal impasse involving Caixa Econômica Federal and the Gasologista land, located in the Port Zone of Rio de Janeiro, where Flamengo's future stadium is planned. The state bank demands compensation of R$1.08 billion to free up the area for the club.
DEMANDS FROM CAIXA ECONÔMICA FEDERAL

According to the website Exame, Caixa is charging R$240 million for land ownership and R$840 million for air rights for the work, which would allow for an expansion of the construction potential of the stadium project. Only with the payment of this amount would the bank be willing to provide the site for construction.

In 2024, the City of Rio de Janeiro, led by Mayor Eduardo Paes, expropriated the Gasometer land. Mais Querido then acquired the area at an auction for R$146 million. However, Caixa Econômica challenged the transaction in court, triggering a long legal battle that has not yet been resolved.


ONGOING NEGOTIATIONS

To try to resolve the conflict, Flamengo, City Hall and Caixa are looking for an agreement that could put an end to the legal disputes. A deadline of mid-November this year was set for the parties to reach a consensus and make progress on the stadium project possible.
