Today, the South-Eastern Territorial Administration of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Tatarstan received information about the presence of petroleum products in the Ursalinka river of the Almetyevsk district. Inspectors of the South-Eastern TA promptly went to the place.

During the inspection of the territory, traces of petroleum products were found that got into the Ursalinka River together with meltwater. There is a characteristic iridescent film on the surface of the water. Specialists of the laboratory of the Ministry of Ecology took water samples in the Ursalinka river.

Due to the threat of oil products entering the Stepnoy Zai river, additional samples were taken at the confluence of the two rivers.
