“The task of improving the health of the country’s water bodies was set by the President of Russia. Of course, the result of this work is of the utmost importance and determines the quality of life of people. Systematization of problems, development of individual action plans, control and on-site events allowed us to significantly increase the pace of implementation of projects for the construction and commissioning of treatment facilities. Of course, we must not only maintain this momentum, but also increase it. In addition to completing the construction, we must be sure that the commissioned facilities meet the regulatory indicators for wastewater treatment. To this end, Rosprirodnadzor regularly conducts inspections for each facility. Also, digital information and analytical resources of the incident operate around the clock for effective monitoring and timely management decisions,” said Dmitry Patrushev.
The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that the established format of work has proven its effectiveness. As an example, a conclusion was recently received on reaching the standard indicators of two large-scale facilities – treatment facilities in Irkutsk and Shchyolkovo near Moscow. At the same time, the facility in Irkutsk became the flagship – it was the first in the Baikal natural territory to reach the purification standards.
Dmitry Patrushev noted that the experience gained will definitely be taken into account when implementing the national project “Ecological Well-being” launched in 2025. In particular, the competitive selection will be carried out on the basis of a comprehensive calculation of the effectiveness of each specific project, and the treatment facility will be considered commissioned only after receiving a positive conclusion from Rosprirodnadzor. To strengthen the responsibility of the subjects of the Russian Federation for the quality of project implementation, the bar for regional co-financing will be raised.
The Deputy Prime Minister reported that over the past year, important changes have been made to the regulatory framework for the construction and operation of treatment facilities. In May, the Government approved rules that gave regions the opportunity to establish fishery standards for water quality, taking into account the specifics of individual water bodies. A regulation on interdepartmental interaction in the construction of treatment facilities has also been developed.
Following the meeting, the Deputy Prime Minister instructed federal agencies to conduct a series of training seminars with the regions to provide the necessary methodological assistance, including explaining the procedure for selecting projects for participation in the new national project “Environmental Well-Being”. The practice of on-site events to monitor the work will continue.
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.
