The site, located at Paris Komuna Street 16A, is reportedly used for storing construction waste, soil, and heavy machinery by the company "Plungės lagūna." Residents are frustrated that the area continues to be heavily utilized long after the street repairs concluded, leading to ongoing disruption and damage to their environment.

Klaipėda Municipality officials, however, found no violations during their inspection. Albinas Misevičius, head of the Administrative Activities, Control, and Prevention Department, stated that the land is managed by the Klaipėda City Sports Base Management Center and the Klaipėda Football School under a usage agreement, negating the need for additional permits. "During the inspection, the streets around the site were clean, no construction noise was heard, and no violations were found," Misevičius commented.
