In Kyiv region, environmental inspectors found that Gas Transmission System Operator of Ukraine LLC discharged wastewater into a tributary of the Ros River with an excess of 297 times the content of ammonium nitrogen and 10 times the content of nitrite ion.
Exceedances of the permissible levels were also recorded for 8 other pollutants, the State Ecological Inspectorate of the Capital District reports on Facebook.
"The enterprise has insignificant volumes of wastewater discharge," the report emphasized.
It is noted that the "HTS Operator" discharged polluted water from January 31 to February 5 into the Fosa River, a tributary of the Rosi. Eco-inspectors will collect all the necessary data to calculate the damage caused to the environment and file a claim against the company.
The message said that starting in December 2023, eco-inspectors will inspect 34 enterprises for the implementation of the Action Plan for the recovery and restoration of the Ros River. These companies potentially affect the state of the river.
It is noted that in 2023 the petition about saving the Ros River collected the necessary 25,000 votes. The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, reviewed it and instructed the government to develop an Action Plan for the recovery and restoration of Russia.
