More than two million were recovered from the Nizhny Novgorod administration for damage to the soils.

      The administration of Nizhny Novgorod will compensate for the damage caused to the soil by an unauthorized dump. This was reported by the Interregional Office of Rosprirodnadzor for the Nizhny Novgorod Region and the Republic of Mordovia. According to the message from Rosprirodnadzor, in 2023, a construction waste dump was discovered on a land plot near house No. 36 on Pravdinskaya Street in the Lenin District—stone blocks, broken bricks, and similar materials. More than 65 tons of waste accumulated over an area of more than 172 square meters. The dump was not fenced off in any way. It turned out that the plot is located on land whose ownership is not delineated, which means that it should be maintained by local government authorities. Rosprirodnadzor specialists calculated the damage caused to the soil, but the administration refused to compensate it. The agency appealed to the court. "In this case, the contamination of the land plot occurred as a result of the inaction of the local government authority, which did not fulfill its legal obligations in the field of environmental protection," Rosprirodnadzor stated. Courts of two instances supported Rosprirodnadzor's claim for the recovery of more than 2 million rubles. The court's decision has entered into legal force.
