They wanted to halve the sanitary zone of the farm, and the number of livestock – from 12,000 to 48,000

The Lviv District Administrative Court recognized as illegal and annulled the conclusion of the state sanitary-epidemiological examination regarding the "Hryada" pig farm on the significant increase in livestock.

Residents of the village of Hryada suffered for years from the unpleasant smell from the farm, air, water and soil pollution from animal manure, local eco-activist Galyna Solonetska reports on Facebook.

She said that the conclusion was given by the Institute of Public Health. Marzeev regarding the increase of the livestock population to 48,000 per year and the reduction of the sanitary zone to 250 meters.

"In the permit for emissions of polluting substances into the atmospheric air, it is indicated that if the sanitary protection zone is 500 meters, then no more than 12,000 pigs can be raised per year," she emphasized.

Due to mining in the villages of Verkhnya and Nizhnya Ozeryana in the lake and wells, water is contaminated with oil products (11.8 times higher content) and iron (37.7 times).
