In 2025, as part of the federal project "General Cleaning" of the national project "Environmental Well-Being," measures were taken to raise and dispose of sunken ships in the Far East.
"As part of the federal 'General Cleanup' project, the removal of accumulated damage continues. This work also includes the disposal of sunken ships. The 2025 plan called for the salvage of five ships. But thanks to our joint work with the regions, 14 have already been salvaged. I believe the approaches we've developed will help us maintain this momentum next year," said Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev.
Other activities of the federal project to eliminate accumulated damage to the environment are also ongoing.
For example, toxic waste processing equipment has been installed at the former Krasny Bor landfill in the Leningrad Region, and its commissioning is nearing completion. Waste treatment will begin next year.
Construction of waste processing and disposal infrastructure has also been completed at the Babkhinsky landfill and the wastewater treatment plant of the now-defunct Baikal Pulp and Paper Mill in the Irkutsk Region. The contractor will begin waste disposal in 2026.
At Usolye-Khimprom, also located in the Irkutsk Region, demolition of buildings and land reclamation are underway. Significant work is planned for next year.
"The accumulated experience and technologies used at all these sites will be applied to the closure of other facilities. There will be at least 50 of them by 2030," the Deputy Prime Minister added.
The first newly selected project was a landfill in the city of Priozersk in the Leningrad Region. The closed waste collection site had been accepting waste since 1996. In 2010, its use was prohibited by a decree of the Priozersk Municipal District. The site is included in the state register of accumulated damage sites. The work involves isolating the waste by installing an impermeable screen, followed by reclamation.
