The violator in Almetyevsk was obliged to compensate for the damage caused to the environment in the amount of 75,946 rubles. This decision was made by the Almetyevsk City Court. Earlier, in 2019, inspectors of the South-Eastern Territorial Administration of the Ministry of Ecology of the Republic of Tatarstan found soil contamination with petroleum products on the territory of the production base in Almetyevsk. The area of contamination was 29.21 sq.m. Soil samples were taken by ecologists. According to the results of the analysis, excess oil products were detected by 9.6 times. For violation of environmental legislation, an individual was brought to administrative responsibility under Part 2 of Article 8.6 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation and a fine of 3 thousand rubles was issued. In addition, in accordance with Article 7 of the Federal Law "On Environmental Protection", in addition to administrative liability, the violator is obliged to compensate for environmental damage. The inspectors calculated and presented the damage caused to the environment in the amount of 75,946 rubles. The guilty person paid a fine of 3 thousand rubles, however, voluntarily refused to compensate for the damage. In this connection, the South-Eastern TA filed a claim with the Almetyevsk City Court. The ecologists' claims were satisfied by the judicial authority.
