1 April 2016, Friday
Inspectors of the South-Eastern Territorial Department under the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Tatarstan conducted a raid in Almetyevsk and revealed that snow was deposited on Almetyevsk snow landfill in breach of the ecological requirements - no sanitary and epidemiological certificate was available. It was established that the MUE "GUAD" failed to comply with the ecological requirements related to the landfill use - a watertight barrier was absent. In the course of the territory inspection, experts of the Central Inspection of Analytical Control of the South-Eastern Territorial Department sampled snow, and the results showed exceedance in the content of iron, aluminum, and oil products. To that extent, two protocols were drawn up against the legal entity according to Article 8.1 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation ("Failure to comply with ecological requirements in the course of urban development activity and operation of companies, constructions or other facilities").
As part of the new national project "Environmental well-being" Tatarstan has planned the implementation of 8 environmental initiatives with total funding of 3 billion rubles. The main part of the funds will be used for work on the federal project "Water of Russia", Minister of Ecology Azat Ziganshin said at a briefing in the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Tatarstan.
