Specialists of Ministry of Ecology prevented sewage discharge in Tyulyachin District

Environmentalists recorded a liquid waste at the landfill near the village of Tyulyachi during a helicopter flight. Instead of cleaning and neutralizing, sewage from cesspools of citizens was exported and dumped directly on the soil. In the selected samples of sewage, the specialists of the Northern Territorial Administration of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Tatarstan detected a multiple excess of chemical indices: BOD5 by 299 times, ammonia-ion by 204 times, iron by 6.8 times, sulphates by 1.6 times. Soil samples from contaminated sites (a total area of ​​30 square meters) were sent to the Central Inspection for Analytical Control to assess damage. Against the organization that failed to fulfill the obligation to ensure safe disposal of waste, environmentalists drafted administrative reports on:
- Article 8.1 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation "Non-compliance with environmental requirements in the implementation of urban development and operation of enterprises, structures or other objects";
- Article 8.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation "Non-compliance with environmental and sanitary-epidemiological requirements when handling production and consumption wastes, ozone-depleting substances or other dangerous substances"
- Part 2, Article 8.6 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation "Destruction of the fertile soil layer, as well as damage to lands as a result of violation of the rules for handling pesticides and agrochemicals or other substances and production and consumption wastes that are hazardous to human health and the environment". At present, the materials of the case have been transferred to the Tatar inter-district environmental protection prosecutor's office for taking measures of the prosecutor's response.
