Bugulma City Court upheld the demands of environmentalists of the South-Eastern TA
The South-Eastern Territorial Administration of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Tatarstan received a complaint about the restriction of free access of residents to the pond in the village of Klyuchevka Bugulminsky district. Inspectors carried out a field visit, during which the fact of environmental violations was confirmed. A sign restricting access to water was installed on the shore of the reservoir. As it turned out, the land plot on which the pond is located was transferred to the ownership of a local resident, which contradicts the current legislation. The pond located on the land plot is located on a tributary of the Tumbarlinka River.
In accordance with Article 102 of the Land Code of the Russian Federation No. 136-FZ dated 25.10.2001, the lands of the water fund are the lands on which surface water bodies are located, and in accordance with Article 27 of the same Code, the privatization of land plots within the coastal strip established in accordance with the Water Code is prohibited.
The South-Eastern TA appealed to the Bugulma City Court with a demand to recognize the ownership of the land plot as illegal. The ecologists' claims were satisfied by the judicial authority.
Let us remind you that the coastal strip should be accessible to anyone who wants to approach the water body. Land plots within the boundaries of coastal strips of water bodies are not subject to privatization. All fences and enclosures on the shoreline are illegal.
