"One of the significant projects implemented within the framework of the national Ecology project is the dismantling of the Lake Oil Pipeline. Pipelines posed a threat not only to the Volga, but also to a quarter of the population of Tatarstan, since the reservoir provides water to more than 900 thousand people. Now the project has been implemented by about 60% and by the end of this year it will be completed," said Deputy Minister Egor Tarnavsky.
