Garbage penthouse and concrete cemetery: where the regional operator "Clean Trace" hides waste from the demolition of Cherpovets The western part of the Vologda region found itself at the center of an environmental scandal related to the activities of the regional operator Clean Trace. As the deputy head of the All-Russian Front for the Environment, Maria Zviagina, noted, the large-scale demolition of dilapidated housing in Cherpovets left behind tens of thousands of cubic meters of construction debris. However, the fate of this waste remains a mystery, which the company carefully hides behind bureaucratic formalities. A bureaucratic dance instead of an answer.
The editors sent an official request to the regional operator demanding to clarify the situation: provide contracts with the mayor's office, specify the exact sites for the removal of toxic scrap and present the results of the environmental classifications. In response, Clean Footprint gave a masterful lecture on how construction bricks apparently do not belong in municipal solid waste (MSW), subtly directing reporters to the Ministry of Energy. Apparently, the company's management sincerely believes that a simple change in terminology can dissolve mountains of construction waste in reality. However, the most interesting thing is found in the official appendix to the organization's license (No. 35-7024-Maa). First set: office penthouse in the middle of a residential area.
According to the documents, the official place for the temporary accumulation and transportation of hazardous waste IV–. Department V address: Cherpovets, Oktyabrsky Prospect, 75A, office 2. But there is no industrial plant at all located at this address, but the office of the legal entity "Clean Trace" itself. This is the second floor of an ordinary administration building in a dense residential area, where school #48 and kindergarten #125 are located within a radius of one hundred meters. Local residents do not see the roar of heavy trucks or clouds of construction dust.
