In 1999, in Wittelsheim, a well in the Stocamine potash mines was converted into a storage site. Toxic waste known as "ultimate waste" containing mercury and asbestos is buried underground. Following a fire in 2002, the site was closed. 40,000 tonnes of ultimate waste are still buried in galleries of potash mines hundreds of metres deep. In 2009, the court condemned the plant manager for non-compliance with the regulations. The prefet, which considered that containment is possible, causes concern among residents. The report is illustrated by archives from September 2002, May 2011 and March 2017.
