30 May 2013, Thursday
Another environmental raid for journalists was organized today by the employees of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of Tatarstan. The inspectors of the Central Territorial Administration of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources have examined the territories of garage cooperatives in Kirovsky district to find a number of breaches. Particularly, the garage cooperative № 6 has come to the top for illegal dumping of construction and household wastes by the shore line of the old course of Kazanka river with the purpose of extending territory. The cooperative has 24h security that renders impossible access for unauthorized people to bring and leave garbage. Cleaning and removal of garbage has also not been duly organized. Waste containers are missing. Greasy rags and worn-out spare parts are scattered throughout the territory. This fact caused the initiation of administrative inquiry by the inspectors of the Central Territorial Administration of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of Tatarstan.
Inspectors of the Central Department, together with representatives of the Kazan Interdistrict Environmental Prosecutor's Office and the Office of the Federal Service for State Registration, Cadastre and Cartography of the Republic of Tatarstan, conducted a survey of the territory of the Zelenodolsk district.
The events were held in the Zainsky district. The commission included inspectors from the Zakamsky Department of the Ministry of Ecology of the Republic of Tatarstan.
The Ministry of Ecology of the Republic of Tatarstan received an appeal from residents about violations of environmental legislation in the Yelabuga district. Inspectors from the Kama Department went to the site and confirmed the fact of dumping production and consumption waste into the territory of the Bug River water protection zone.
