The Supreme Court supported environmentalists. The Bashkortostan enterprise will have to pay a fine in the amount of 400 thousand rubles

6 May 2019, Monday

The Supreme Court of the Republic of Tatarstan upheld the decision of the Almetyevsk city court on recognizing the Bashkortostan enterprise guilty of violating of Part 2 of Article 8.7 of the Code on Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation “Failure to reclaim land, enforce land improvement and protect soil”.

Let us recall that the staff of the South-Eastern Territorial Administration in 2018 revealed a violation of environmental legislation. The organization rented a warehouse for storage of technical lump sulfur in Almetyevsk town. However, as environmentalists have discovered, bigbags with sulfur were stored in the open area adjacent to the warehouse in the absence of adequate protection.
