At the end of April, inspectors of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Tatarstan, together with specialists of the Ministry's laboratory, traveled to the Privolzhsky district of Kazan following a complaint from residents.
During the ecological survey of the territory, the fact of the presence of foam in the draining ditch was confirmed. The sources of the discharge were not identified at that time. Wastewater samples were taken from the site.
A request was sent to the External Improvement Committee of Kazan about the balance holder of showery and sewer networks. Based on the information received, the balance holder is the Municipal Unitary Enterprise "Urban Improvement".
According to the decree of the Government of the Russian Federation "On the criteria for classifying objects as objects subject to federal state supervision in the field of use and protection of water bodies and regional state supervision in the field of use and protection of water bodies" Municipal Unitary Enterprise "Urban Improvement" is subject to federal state environmental supervision.
In this regard, all information and appeals will be redirected to the Volga-Kama Interregional Department of the Federal Service for Supervision of Environmental Management.
