"Even confectionery — dangerous production"

the Alarm in Degtyarsk: did not manage to show the door from the city the project of antimonial production as reminded of itself Degtyarsky foundry and mechanical plant against which local ecologists fight more than two years. In March the enterprise at which melt lead, was sealed, its activity is suspended for three months. Term left, and public men again write to all instances, ring round journalists, tell about poisonous evaporations which will destroy the population.

"This dangerous production. Melting plant put in the downtown, in 150 meters from park. A half of the city covers with a smoke, they have an excess on lead, on carbon dioxide" — the local activist ecologist, the deputy of municipal duma declares Degtyarsk Margolis Danielle.

In Soviet period Degtyarsk was the self-sufficient miner's town. Here not only extracted copper, but also made the most part of the equipment for production. At peak the number of employees of local mine administration exceeded 3 thousand people.

Today the municipality is one of the most depressive territories of area. At population of 15 thousand people of workplaces in the city today it is gathered hardly on one thousand. From the income in a type of absence of the industry only that will present the regional .

B the 2013th part of shops of the former mine administration were redeemed by JOINT-STOCK COMPANY "DEGTYARSKY LITEYNO-MEKHANICHESKY FACTORY" for restoration of the thrown production. In total it is 5 thousand square meters of the areas of industrial function on which are located shop on production of a metalwork, machining, a smithy, hardening and steel-smelting sites. All this is planned to restore and add with the modern line on processing of secondary non-ferrous metals. Was decided to begin with capacities for melting of the lead, already mastered by the company and allowed it to take a place in the market.

turned Today, according to the owner, two shops are completely already ready to work, the project on annual melting of 2 thousand tons of lead is developed and approved. Thus installed equipment allows to increase in the long term volumes to 14 thousand tons. It is caused also by that such capacities are considered to Russian Federation rather small — the lines calculated on smaller parties, in the country simply does not exist. 80% of units — a domestic production and only 20% are delivered from Italy and United States of America. The volume of in the company do not open, noting only that on the international practice usually opening of similar production requires 1 million dollars on each one thousand tons of the projected power. In one only system of purification of gases, sewage about 40 million rubles were enclosed. "Certainly that, having spent such money, we, on the one hand, plan to bring the enterprise to the maximum power with creation of a large number of workplaces for payback acceleration, and on the other hand, we try to observe each letter of the law and all possible environmental standards in order to avoid risks for the " — the general director of DLMZ Pinaev Nicholas notes.

When the project of reanimation of the enterprise was complete by

for 75%, there were activists with statements for danger of developed production. As owners note, to this moment was to postpone a platform already late, actually enclosed were taken in "hostages" that casts questions of sincerity "fighters for clean air".

For the next 4 years fifteen checks were directed on the enterprise from various instances. "A time, by the way, it even was useful: when there came experts, were convinced that all in norm, but thus gave a valuable advice as it is better to organize productions. But all the same such number of checks distracts from work" — the director of DLMZ Pinaev Nicholas tells.

Among claims which ecologists state, that the plant is "all" in 300 meters from a housing estate. According to them, the park which has expanded round shops is destroyed. "Thus they dissemble: trees — it is sanitary landings which were made at the time of the USSR. Also they were made just because here then there was a smelting of copper which became, by the way, in general without clearing systems" — Pinaev Nicholas notes. For comparison: if to take already our time, similar plant in Shchyolkovo is in 250 meters from a housing estate, in Zaraysk the plant which is annually processing 40 thousand tons of lead accumulators, in general costs in 100 meters from houses. To Sverdlovsk region the example with the enterprise in Verkh-Neyvinske, also standing in 250 meters from houses is analogous. That is no standards in Degtyarsk are violated — all according to the all-Russian practice. "Works are carried out according to those regulations which are approved earlier, including Rostekhnadzor. Even confectionery — dangerous production: formaldehydes get to air, but they are caught by clearing installations" — the mayor Igor Nikolaevich Busakhin confirms.

Should noting

that in "downtown" as public men call the area of placement of the enterprise, for a long time there is a boiler room, the tracks, two tanks with fuel oil on 500 tons everyone and some other productions. In the Soviet past this part of municipality was taken away under an industrial zone Degtyarsk. And the engineers designing the city, specially picked up a site with such wind rose — those mostly blew aside from the next houses.

did not find any violations and the numerous inspections which were carried out by all possible supervising departments, from Federal Supervision Agency for Customer Protection and Human Welfare to prosecutor's office. But long examinations for collecting proofs were required. Now at the management of the enterprise already impressive collection of the various papers confirming was gathered that at plant there is nothing dangerous. Including about lack of harmful emissions.

Nevertheless public men are not appeased and going to write

on new to various instances, this time intending to protest the licenses granted to the enterprise and the construction license. In the statements for mass media those regularly call stretched on 5 thousand square meters enterprise "underground plant", claiming that owners have no allowing documents. Thus in 2016 for activists tour where they could be convinced of lack of emissions was specially conducted and study all conclusions of supervising departments. Without saying about demonstration of the equipment of the former enterprise confirming that in the past here took place and did not break any norms much more dangerous production. By material preparation the same excursion with a pile of papers and demonstration of lack of a smoke when melting was carried out and for correspondents of Russian information company "URA.Ru". But all this did not convince activists — those only anew started throwing instances inquiries with requirements to liquidate the enterprise.

After an exit to capacities only on a site of non-ferrous metals will be created by

of 100 workplaces. After a complete recovery of shops — about 300. After purchase owners found terrifying picture: machines with roots escaped and given in metal the former owner. By miracle this process was succeeded to stop and agree to redeem everything at the market price. Thereby the unique production park was kept. As owners note, since then the enterprise had various difficulties, but any machine is sawn any more was not.

"In the city it is very bad with workplaces. Generally there is a pendular labor migration to Yekaterinburg, Pervouralsk and Revda. And productions are necessary to the city. Within development of the project of the Ekaterinburg agglomeration I sent the appeal to Ministry of Construction, Architecture and Housing about platform consideration to 60 hectares for science and technology park placement on it" — the mayor Igor Nikolaevich Busakhin notes.

But ecologists have the position: "They can put one huge filter instead of plant. But, as soon as the furnace turns on and lead melting, this crime" begins — Margolis Danielle insists.

Creation of workplaces — one of theses which candidates during the begun campaign for elections of the governor now sound Sverdlovsk region. Other thesis — about need of attraction of and opening of new productions. For last decades the industrial region lost set of plants which continue to be closed, and without them to provide growth of economy is problematic. On other bowl of scales — inertness of the municipal activists who are not wishing restoration of the industry. On their party agenda: to protest and fight while still in fashion.
