Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev held a meeting within the framework of incident No. 55 “Wastewater Treatment Facilities”. It was attended by the leadership of the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Ministry of Construction, Rosprirodnadzor and other federal executive bodies, representatives of the State Duma and heads of regions.
“In the first quarter of this year, six more facilities were put into operation. Ensuring the correct operation of treatment facilities is, first and foremost, a direct contribution to the health of our citizens. And we cannot fail to fulfill our obligations to build and reconstruct facilities. This work must be completed as soon as possible, so constant attention from federal agencies and regions is important. Based on the results of the on-site inspection of the working group for each unfinished facility, a set of measures was formed to resolve existing issues. Their implementation will be strictly monitored,” said Dmitry Patrushev.
Following the results of the last meeting, a working group was formed to promptly visit all unfinished facilities in the regions involved in the incident.
During the work of the group, the “road maps” for completing the construction of treatment facilities were adjusted jointly. Dmitry Patrushev emphasized that the new deadlines proposed by the regions should not be violated. The working group will continue to make targeted visits to problematic sites to record the dynamics of solving problems. The Ministry of Natural Resources of Russia has also developed a procedure for verifying the eliminated violations for a re-inspection of treatment facilities by Rosprirodnadzor to confirm the required level of regulatory treatment.
At the meeting it was noted that in relation to regions that did not complete construction work by April of this year, work has been organized to return part of the funds to the federal budget.
The participants of the event also discussed the regulatory legal act being prepared, which will determine the procedure for establishing standards for the maximum permissible concentration of pollutants in water bodies of fishery importance. Thanks to the new mechanism, the subjects of the Russian Federation will be able to set standards themselves, taking into account the background concentration of substances in water bodies and regional characteristics.
Incident No. 55 “Wastewater Treatment Facilities” was created on June 15, 2024 to coordinate work on the construction and reconstruction of wastewater treatment facilities implemented within the framework of the national project “Ecology”, as well as to ensure the operation of these facilities with the achievement of the parameters of standard wastewater treatment. Currently, work is being considered at 145 facilities in 19 regions.
When working in the incident format, a special project management system is used, which is deployed on the basis of the Government Coordination Center. It allows for prompt coordination of the actions of participants and monitoring of project implementation in real time.
