The quarries locked 16 villages in the Dmitrovsky district in a mud trap. There are two quarries near the villages, and three more are under development. Now garbage trucks drive between houses, equipment makes noise around the clock, dust flies through the windows and people may lose drinking water. For example, to the village of Grishino the path goes through a sandy mess through the first quarry. It was excavated in 2018, and 4 years ago it was supposed to be returned, but the filling took a long time. During this time, the river at the entrance to Grisino turned green on one side and turned into a swamp on the other. "We don't know what exactly was spilled there, we saw construction debris, rags, curb stones," local resident Larissa explained to - according to Ministry of Natural Resources documents, three licenses have now been granted for prospecting and mining minerals in the village area. There is only one regret: some of the territories enter the water protection zone of the Kamarica River. The office stated that there will be no mining near the reservoirs.
