Mountainous pile of sunflower husk and waste from dismantling of buildings were identified by environmentalists in the territory of the Kazan enterprise in Bugulma
Unauthorized waste disposal was discovered during a helicopter flight around Lenina street in Bugulma town. Inspectors of the South-Eastern Territorial Administration of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Tatarstan have instituted an administrative investigation against the Kazan legal entity (plant) engaged in production of cold pressed sunflower oil.
As the inspector Madina Usmanova said: “In the course of main activity of this plant, large volumes of sunflower husk are formed, which are subsequently thrown into the street of the enterprise territory. This waste, interacting with precipitation and the environment, decays, giving off an unpleasant odor. A legal entity does not dispose this waste, but accumulates in this way on a territory of a total area of 412.5 square meters”.
