The court supported the environmentalists' demands and ordered to pay damages in the amount of 480,000 rubles
The Ministry of Ecology of the Republic of Tatarstan received an appeal from residents about violations of environmental legislation in the Yelabuga district. Inspectors from the Kama Department went to the site and confirmed the fact of dumping production and consumption waste into the territory of the Bug River water protection zone.
The total area of the violation was 550 square meters, and the volume was 142 cubic meters.
According to an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate, the owner of the land plot is an individual. He was given a warning about the inadmissibility of violating the mandatory requirements of environmental legislation and a requirement to eliminate the violation.
In addition, environmentalists have calculated the amount of damage caused to the soil. It amounted to 483,692 rubles. A claim was sent to the rightholder of the land plot with a request to compensate the damage in a pre-trial manner.
The Ministry has not received any information about the voluntary payment. In this regard, the Kama Department of the Ministry of Ecology of the Republic of Tatarstan appealed to the Yelabuga City Court with a statement of claim. The court supported the environmentalists' demands and ordered the violator to liquidate the landfill and compensate the damage in full.
