"Rosprirodnadzor" reveals violations in Sochi Olympic objects

The "Rosprirodnadzor" (Russian Federal Agency for Nature Supervision) made checks of the construction progress of Olympic objects in Sochi and revealed 25 violations of the nature protection legislation, on which fact administrative cases were initiated.

As reported today by the press service of the agency, the main violations were in drawing up of various documents. "Ten Olympic objects were inspected, and 12 managing subjects were revealed, which were running their construction works with violations of the nature protection legislation," noted the "Rosprirodnadzor".

According to the agency, 25 violations had to do, in particular, with non-authorized warehousing production wastes, absence of contracts with specialized organizations engaged in waste disposal and lack of norms on maximum permissible harmful emissions.

In some cases subjects could not present their documents confirming payments for negative influence on an environment to the inspectors. Besides, in some cases the project design documentation had no positive conclusions of the state ecological expertise.

The "Rosprirodnadzor" does not list the Olympic objects where violations were revealed, the ITAR-TASS reports.
