The courts of two instances supported the demands of environmentalists and ordered the Kazan Oil plant to pay 11 million rubles
The Joint-stock company "Kazan Oil Plant" failed to prove its innocence in the case of wastewater discharge in the Laishevsky district.
Let us recall that in November 2023, the inspectors of the Central Administration, after residents contacted them about the discharge of sewage onto the terrain, traveled to the Laishevsky district. During the visit, the inspectors revealed the fact of wastewater discharge from a fire hose in the Laishevsky district. Wastewater and soil samples were taken, and excess amounts of chlorides, sulfates, and petroleum products were recorded. The calculation of damage to soils amounted to 10 million 884 thousand rubles.
The Ministry has filed a claim for compensation for environmental damage to the Arbitration Court of the Republic of Tatarstan. The environmentalists' claim was satisfied. But the violator did not agree with the judicial act and appealed to the Eleventh Arbitration Court of Appeal. The court did not support the appeal and dismissed the complaint, supporting the position of the Ministry.
