Dmitry Patrushev assessed the progress of the federal project "General Cleaning."
Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev held a meeting to discuss the progress of the federal project "General Cleanup" as part of the national project "Environmental Well-Being." The event was attended by senior officials from the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Ministry of Transport, Rosatom, and other relevant agencies.
"To fulfill the objectives set by the President of Russia and ensure favorable living conditions for people across our country, we continue to eliminate accumulated environmental damage. This work is being carried out in several areas. A list of 50 sites slated for elimination by 2030 is being compiled. Furthermore, it is important to complete three major projects: the cleanup of accumulated waste from the former industrial sites of Usolye-Khimprom, the Baikal Pulp and Paper Mill, and the Krasny Bor landfill. A total of over 140 billion rubles is planned for the implementation of the federal project 'General Cleanup' by 2030," said Dmitry Patrushev.
Rosprirodnadzor and Rospotrebnadzor are currently assessing the negative environmental impact of hazardous facilities in Russia's regions. Based on the data obtained, a list of facilities prioritized for remediation is being compiled.
In addition, the Federal Environmental Operator of the Rosatom State Corporation is carrying out the decommissioning of three major facilities in the Irkutsk and Leningrad regions. This year, the company also began designing protective structures for the Komsomolsk Sulfuric Acid Plant.
The meeting also discussed the cleanup of sunken vessels. Five wrecks will be removed in the Far East in 2025.
Dmitry Patrushev also instructed the Ministry of Transport, Rosmorrechflot, and the Ministry of Natural Resources, in conjunction with the Far Eastern regions, to develop a site-by-site plan for lifting ships by 2030 and begin implementing it by the end of the year.
