The facts of soil pollution with wastes of 3.4 classes of hazard (oil products), with its further export to other regions with subsequent reloading and transportation for placement and disposal in violation of the requirements of sanitary and epidemiological environmental legislation, have been established in a number of regions of the Russian Federation. In some cases, the waste disposal sites did not have a solid cover, shed, envelope, which resulted in soil pollution. Violations were committed when transporting waste without appropriate contracts, licenses, driver training. In addition, the total volumes of waste stored at the sites significantly exceeded the technical capabilities of organizations for their processing.
