We live in the most beautiful country in the world, and all other countries envy us! Only in our town of Khimki, near Moscow, residents are so happy about a huge garbage dump on the outskirts that they ask not to clean it up under any circumstances. After all, thanks to this dump, they will be able to live forever! And they have no other left. They want to give up the cemetery.
I knew that many unique people live in our city. They were against the construction of a road junction and were happy about the traffic jam. They believed that the new M11 highway on the Left Bank would hang in the air and would not have ramps to the Moscow Ring Road. Now they are against the funeral. Buying land for a cemetery in other cities?
I love my city. Every day I see its pros and cons. Every day I understand that our people are specific, and those who come to new buildings quickly begin to consider themselves the masters of the city.
Today we will talk about a dump familiar to all residents of Khimki, Dolgoprudny and the nearest districts of Moscow. It rises tens of meters not far from the Moscow Ring Road in the Khimki area, which is called Levoberezhny. The toll road to St. Petersburg begins here. Everyone passing by could not help but see this terrible mountain.
It is located on the map:
This is one of the largest landfills in the region. The entire territory of the facility occupies 37 hectares. It is covered with earth. There is no life around. They did not dare to build a shopping center, the large left-bank interchange is also fully built. Next to the landfill there is only the Yuzhnoye Dolgoprudnenskoye cemetery and another waste landfill, already Dolgoprudnenskoye.
This is how this left-bank miracle looks like. 
After the new year in the city's largest online community "Typical Khimki" A record appeared in VKontakte about the dissatisfaction of the inhabitants of the Left Bank District with the future construction of the cemetery and crematorium. Nobody indicates exactly where and why. Nobody will say what the project is. Just go and sign the petition against, not figuring out what and how. 
But here's the thing. If you look at the history of this project and all the news. the following picture emerges. A year ago, there were already conversations on this topic with the previous administration. They seem to have reached a dead end or entered the stage of reworking the project. Unknown. The new project looks something like this: 
As part of the entire facility, they offer the following: 
In short: a memorial complex with a chapel, an eternal flame, a park, a playground, and a complex of office premises. All this, according to information from the network, should take about 6 hectares out of 37 occupied by the landfill. Everything else should become a graveyard and crematorium. What is important - there is already a large, overcrowded cemetery nearby! New, no matter how registered, will allow not to look for a new site and create a new burial place. The old is only expanding. 
But Baba Yaga residents of the Levoberezhny microdistrict are against it! From their homes to the edge of the landfill, no less than 500 meters. At these five hundred meters there is a multi-level interchange, in comparison with which some houses are dwarfs.
But it would be interesting if they were told: we are not building a cemetery, but there is nowhere else to bury people. What would they do? Maybe it's Japanese time? Cremating, little rooms with lots of ash storage ...
What will you choose in your city / region?
PS: Of course, I should mention the fact that there is news about a possible alteration of the landfill for a ski complex. But apart from news, desire, beautiful words to the wind and a seemingly accepted decision somewhere by someone, there was nothing.
Thank you for the attention! Stay in touch!
A memorial park with a cemetery and military graves worth 5 billion rubles can be built on the site of the largest landfill closest to Moscow. CJSC Industrial Company Eco, which is engaged in the reclamation of landfills, proposed to the Moscow Region government to erect a 70-meter memorial in the shape of a truncated pyramid on the site of the garbage mountain of the Levoberezhny landfill, which was closed by the authorities in 2012. Now there is a cemetery next to a pile of rubbish in the north of the Moscow Ring Road, and the new complex would look appropriate. According to the authors of the project (the editorial office has a presentation), a columbarium will also be arranged around the memorial for residents of nearby cities, that is, a cemetery intended for burying ashes after cremation, a chapel and, accordingly, several crematoria.
Mayan pyramid on garbage foundation
Polygon body is unstable. The landfill is on fire, and fires come to the surface; is spreading due to the lack of final overlap, sediment drainage system and filtrate collection. From 2008 to 2012, waste was placed in the body of the landfill in violation of all environmental norms and rules, - says the presentation of the Eco company.
Now the landfill, which appeared on the site of the quarry in 1983, is officially closed, it occupies 37 hectares and is considered one of the largest in the region. In the presentation of the Eco company it is said that more than 40 million tons of garbage have accumulated at the landfill. Despite a series of decisions by local authorities at various levels to close the landfill and fines, the management company continued to accept garbage, and this provoked protests from local residents: they saw garbage trucks from their windows, and the scandal then reached the Ministry of Natural Resources. However, later bloggers reported that garbage continues to be taken to the landfill, only from the back side.
At various times, they wanted to make a ski resort, a plant for processing accumulated waste, and an asphalt plant from the landfill, it was noted in the presentation of Eco, but the projects constantly faced environmental problems, with too long payback (the payback period of a ski resort took 20 years, says a source in the Moscow region government) and the discontent of the citizens themselves.
Based on the sketches, the complex, similar to the Mayan pyramids, will be built in the form of a truncated pyramid with a height of a 25-storey building, which is about 70 m. The building will have several paved terraces (in the image in the presentation there are five of them, not counting the upper platform), on them along the perimeter can be installed granite urns with the ashes of heroes brought “from other places” (reburial), a number of benches and lanterns. Ladders will lead to the top from several sides, expanding to the top, on which a tank, a stele and an eternal flame can be installed. On one of the slides of the presentation, Eco emphasizes the status of the memorial as “an important social object and a zone of attraction for the patriotic education of youth”, as a “world-class funeral facility”.
Cemeteries are more profitable to build than resorts
The concept of the memorial park will include<...>park zone, memorial complex, chapel and a number of elements of a single ensemble of the park-memorial complex, the project of which will be developed as the second stage of reclamation<...>as its logical continuation, - writes the general director of ZAO Maxim Biryukov in a cover letter to the Minister of Ecology and Nature Management of the Moscow Region, Alexander Kogan.
First, you need to take the entire facility for a long-term lease from the municipality of the city of Khimki, as indicated in the presentation, then the company can reclaim the landfill, that is, rid it of rotted waste and chemicals, as well as establish a system for collecting the emitted toxic gases. In particular, it is proposed to develop a system of trenches for collecting leachate and gases, laying insulating materials and soil 10–11 m thick. After the completion of reclamation, the company is ready to start building the park itself.
In total, the project, according to the calculations of its initiator "Eco", will require 5 billion rubles, of which about 1.5-2 billion rubles will be spent on reclamation (by the way, the cadastral value of the land under the landfill is 1.41 billion rubles). According to a source in the government of the Moscow region, the investor promised to find investments on his own and recoup them by selling places in the future cemetery, which will work as part of the memorial complex. The Austrian investor, Biryukov himself told Izvestia, but he refused to disclose his name.
The memorial will occupy about 6 hectares, which is almost three times less than the territory that is now occupied by a mountain (17 hectares) with a height of 87 m, and several times less than the entire landfill (37 hectares). The remaining space (70, or 26 hectares) can be given for a cemetery with a columbarium, several crematoria, as well as the regional state budgetary institution "Ritual", which is proposed to be created "by analogy with a Moscow [similar] institution." According to Biryukov's calculations, about 200 thousand places for columbar urns can be built here.
The company explains the choice of the landfill development as a columbarium "by an acute shortage of land for burial throughout the Moscow region." According to Eco, “the land for the burial of Khimki residents is left for several months,” the need for only Khimki and neighboring Dolgoprudny in it is 78.63 hectares. Places in the cemetery can go either to Khimki and Dolgoprudny, or to the entire region; on the slide about the "additional advantages" of the project, the company writes about the columbarium as "a subject of bargaining with Moscow in terms of burying its residents." In the past few years, when cemetery sites began to be auctioned, the average cost of a burial site in Moscow reached 350,000 rubles, which often leads to outrage, says Biryukov.
In addition, the authorities will be able to significantly save on the burial of citizens - for the time of managing the cemetery and return of investments (the authorities are invited to conclude an investment contract or a concession with the investor, Biryukov is in favor of an investment contract, the authorities, according to him, want to conclude a concession) the company is “ready to take over social burial and cremation funded by the state ”, the return on investment is estimated at at least 10 years.
This is, in fact, the first such project for the reclamation of this landfill, in which the authorities do not need to invest - all the money is provided by the investor. Previous projects were cut off largely due to lack of money in the budget. The investor is going to return the funds invested in the rebuilding of the landfill by selling places in the columbarium; they say that the creation of a new cemetery on the site of the landfill "would relieve the problem of a shortage of places for burial," says a source close to CJSC Industrial Company Eco. - Now, on the territory of such memorial complexes, the cost of a place for a grave ranges from 1.5 million to 6 million rubles, for example, at the Troekurovsky cemetery [considered one of the prestigious cemeteries in Moscow, also adjacent to the Moscow Ring Road and has its own crematorium] it reaches 8 million rubles ... The cost of a place for a grave is hundreds of times more expensive than a place for an urn. Burials here will be done in granite walls, there are no columbariums of this kind in Russia. If everything works out, I think the memorial project could be nominated for an architectural nomination.
According to the SPARK database, this company was registered in 2011 in the city of Vladimir by Alexander Valov and Sergey Gerasimov, there are no data on revenue and profit, and Eco's authorized capital is only 10 thousand rubles, which has not changed since the company was registered. The only available accounting "Eco" in Rosstat - for 2013, and, according to her, its assets were only 65 thousand rubles. The company was created specifically for this project and did not conduct financial activities, says Biryukov.
As for the owners, Sergey Gerasimov, in addition to Eco, is the current CEO of the Vladimir company Stroyservice, which was registered in January 2014. The company's revenue in 2014 amounted to 21.8 million rubles, and the declared net profit was 88 thousand rubles. Gerasimov also owns 91% of Impulse LLC, which was registered in February 2009 in Moscow, and is engaged in the sale of crushed stone. The company's financial statements are available only for 2012, when the company received government orders for the supply of crushed stone to the City Roads Management Center in the amount of 10.4 million rubles - this is all the company's revenue for 2012, and the declared net profit was 25 thousand rubles. In May 2015, Gerasimov registered another company - LLC Vladimir Construction Company, here he owns 50%.
Alexander Valov, together with Eco, was the head of three more firms in the Vladimir region - Plasma LLC, Kontinent Company CJSC and Opolye TOO, the firms were liquidated at the end of 2010 or early 2011, all companies specialized in working with waste and metallurgical scrap. At the same time, several companies are also registered on Valova in Moscow and the Moscow region that deal with waste and scrap, all of them are operating - OOO Metalltransstroy, OOO STTK and ZAO Continent, Valov's share in them is 27, 19 and 16%, respectively. All Moscow companies were registered more than 10 years ago, their authorized capital is 10 thousand rubles, but the financial statements of these companies have not been disclosed.
Eco is engaged in landfill reclamation, Biryukov points out in a letter to Kogan. According to the government procurement website, Eco has no experience in building memorials or constructing cemeteries, but the companies associated with it, in particular, according to Biryukov, GC Promalyans, participated as a subcontractor and contractor in the construction of two biogas mini-CHP plants at Kuryanovskiy water treatment plants (€ 23.8 million) and treatment facilities in Lyubertsy (€ 65.7 million) - all for Mosvodokanal, as well as the sodium hypochlorite plant of the Austrian EVN AG for € 175 million. The conflict between EVN and the Moscow Mayor's Office (/ news / 588665) went to the same Mosvodokanal for € 250 million. Mosvodokanal could not give a prompt comment. EVN AG spokesman Stefan Zach was unable to confirm or deny the involvement of Eco-related structures in the construction of the factories.
To approve a new project, the company needs a decision from the regional government. Eco is negotiating with the Khimki City Hall, as well as the Ministry of Ecology and Nature Management (in terms of landfill reclamation) and the Ministry of Consumer Market and Services (for the project of the memorial and the organization of the cemetery) of the region, says a source in the Moscow Region government. In general, the ministries considering the project have no complaints about it, the Khimki mayor's office agrees, and has already sent it for approval to the Ministry of Investment and Innovation of the Moscow Region, the interlocutor continues, in the first quarter of 2016, the project with the Biryukov business plan being prepared will be considered by the government itself at special "investment hour". It is not excluded that a preferential landfill rental rate and a reduced profit tax may be applied as concessions.
The Ministry of Ecology and the Ministry of Investments of the Moscow Region, as well as the administration of Khimki, did not respond to inquiries. The press service of the cemetery in charge of the Ministry of Consumer Market of the Moscow Region confirmed to Izvestia that a proposal for a memorial pyramid had been received, but they indicated that they were leaving the issue with the Ministry of Ecology.
So far, no one in the world has tried to replace landfills at columbariums with memorials - as a rule, after reclamation, parks are built on the site of landfills, the project presentation says. There are also examples when rubbish mountains were adapted for winter sports, says Alexander Tsygankov, an employee of the toxic department of Greenpeace Russia. According to the ecologist, the proximity of the Levoberezhny solid waste landfill to residential areas (about 500 m) is a manifestation of the garbage crisis that Moscow finds itself in: the megalopolis, due to its rapid growth, runs into landfills left over from Soviet times. The problem of this landfill is very acute - gases are actively accumulating there, adds Tsygankov. Because of this, the landfill regularly ignites, the smoke from it spreads to the entire nearby microdistrict, the population is dissatisfied.
However, replacing the landfill with a cemetery may also cause objections among the population, in addition, the crematoria will be located in close proximity to residential areas. This "moral aspect of burials on the site of the former solid waste landfill" in "Eco" is understood "as an investment risk that will be leveled through significant investments in the formation of a positive image of the project," the presentation says. According to environmental standards, the installation of crematoria in such proximity to residential areas is allowed, the sanitary protection zone for them is from 500 to 1000 m, depending on the number of furnaces, in addition, the filtration system helps to minimize the negative impact, says one of the inspectors of Rosprirodnadzor, who wished to stay unnamed.
In addition to the garbage context, weak demand for columbaria may hinder
True, not everyone in the Moscow Region government advocates the reburial of the remains of heroes and unknown soldiers at the dump site, as suggested by Eco. As for the department headed by Sergei Shoigu (he worked as the governor of the Moscow region from May to November 2012), an anonymous interlocutor at the Ministry of Defense noted that the procedure for re-registration and reburial could take “more than a decade” and involves the installation of such a burial place on record with the Ministry of Defense. If there is no reburial and only the stele is installed, then only the Ministry of Culture should be notified.
The presentation did not come to the Ministry of Defense. Until the project has not been approved by the Government of the Moscow Region, it is pointless to assure the Ministry of Defense, - said a source in the Ministry.
There are no architectural analogues of such a structure in Russia, he added. The executive secretary of the Search Movement of Russia Elena Tsunaeva has not heard of such structures either. In her opinion, reburying the remains at the foot of the memorial is unethical - the religious feelings of citizens can be hurt, and besides, there can always be relatives who disagree with the cremation, she emphasizes.
It is not clear how the installation of the memorial itself is played up at all, because, as a rule, they are all thematic and somehow historically tied to the place of installation. The installation of a memorial on the site of the landfill is, in principle, very controversial, adds Tsunaeva.
Even if the authorities approve the project, it is unlikely that it will be able to quickly pay off - the crematoria built in Russia and Moscow are loaded by only 50%, the crematorium at the Troekurovsky cemetery is idle, and in the Moscow region there are no crematoria at all, '' says the vice-president of the Union of Funeral Organizations. and crematoria Aleksey Suloev.
In Moscow, according to Suloev, there are about 6-10 crematoria, there are columbariums in cemeteries, but there are no separate columbariums. If the state is obliged to issue a place for a grave free of charge, then cremation is an exclusively paid procedure, he adds.
On the other hand, Suloev notes, the creation of a regional state unitary enterprise (according to the law, all cemeteries in the country must belong to municipalities, and be managed by state-owned enterprises), proposed by the investor, may solve the problem of loading - people can be taken from the nearby districts of the Moscow region and Moscow, which are also free there are no cemeteries closer than 27 km to Moscow. The places in the columbarium may also be of interest to the relatives of those beneficiaries who got a bad place for burial, says the executive director of the union, Elena Andreeva.
But due to the low cost of cremation places [several tens of thousands of rubles], it is difficult to return the investment in 10 years. Perhaps the project is not being initiated for the sake of building a memorial with a columbarium, Suloev said.
It is possible that the investor simply needs to sell the land, for the removal of which he was paid good money, says a source close to the company, or, for example, there may be recycled scrap at the landfill. There is no useful waste at the landfill, and the company has no unnecessary land, Biryukov says.
And this is not to mention the fact that private cemeteries in Russia are prohibited in principle, the new law legalizing private cemeteries and columbariums was never adopted State Duma (/ news / 584059)], - he added.
If the project pays off, similar columbariums can be organized at other waste landfills closed by the authorities, located 15–20 km from the Moscow Ring Road, such as, for example, the Salaryevo landfill, Biryukov said.
The authorities of the Moscow region this year promised to close 24 landfills for the burial of solid household waste. How will hectares of this land be used in the future? It is assumed that they will definitely not be empty. After reclamation, they are converted into soccer fields. At least, this idea has already sounded. What over time can the "Levoberezhny" solid waste landfill turn into and how realistic is it to implement sports projects on it?
The residents of our district are lucky. They have another reason to be proud. True, not pleasant. And yet. According to experts, in all of Europe it is hardly possible to find a garbage dump of such a height - 72 meters above the earth's surface. In the soil itself, waste is located at a depth of 14 meters. Over the 38 years that the Levoberezhny solid waste landfill has been in operation, according to some estimates, about 100 million tons of waste have accumulated in its body.
Reducing risks
The primary task today is to maximize the safety of the impact of the landfill on the environment. For this, it will be necessary to carry out its reclamation, which includes a whole range of special measures. One of them is degassing. The fact is that landfill gas (methane) accumulating inside the landfill body poses a certain threat. During reclamation, it must be collected. And then it is either simply brought out, that is, into the atmosphere (which is far from environmentally friendly), or used to generate heat and electricity. This option seems to be the most reasonable. How the landfill will actually be disposed of from landfill gas will become known after the approval of the project for its reclamation.
This project will appear in October. The competition for its creation was won by the Ryazan company, which offered the smallest amount for the development of a document, which will display all measures for reclamation of the landfill. This pleasure, by the way, is not cheap. If the initial reclamation project (from 2008) the cost of these works was estimated at about 150 million rubles, now the costs are much higher.
The landfill has doubled in size over the last few years of active operation compared to what was indicated. In addition, due to non-observance of the disposal technology, another threat arose - landslides. According to the head of the Housing and Utilities Department of the District Administration Leonid Berezin, the body of the landfill must be flattened. This means that the pile of debris must be pulled apart in such a way as to lower its height and thereby neutralize the danger. The developers of the project must calculate the possibilities available for this. The main question is: will the thirty hectares, on which the landfill is located, be enough to carry out this reclamation point?
We are waiting for the results
- At the present time the landfill is "resting", - says Leonid Berezin. A year ago, the famous waste dump on the Left Bank was closed. Waste collected on the territory of the district began to be taken out to other landfills for solid waste. One of them is Khmetyevo in the Solnechnogorsk region. But this site is also expected to be taken into account in the near future.
However, there is no need to fear a garbage collapse. The main stake in waste disposal, as required by the Government of the Moscow Region, has been made by the administration of the district on the construction of a waste processing complex. In the draft General Plan for the development of the district until 2035, this item is indicated.
As for the Levoberezhny solid waste landfill, it is possible that after reclamation it will benefit the residents of the district. Of course, it will not work to organize a ski slope. Where will the skiers go if everything is built up around and there will be a high-speed route "Moscow - St. Petersburg" nearby? Although, to be honest, it's a pity. A beautiful mountain has grown!
What will be placed on it? “We can fantasize about this as much as we like, but a specific decision will be made only after we receive data on the results of the study. It is now being carried out by specialists involved in the development of a reclamation project. They study the movement of the soil, its composition, ”comments Tatyana Kuzmina, General Director of OJSC“ Polygon solid waste ”.
Perhaps, at the training ground, it will be possible to realize some kind of sports dream. Time and research results will tell.

From residents of the Levoberezhny district of O. Khimki, Moscow region. APPEAL We, residents of the Levoberezhny district of O.
Khimki, Moscow Region, we would like to draw your attention to the attempt of the city and regional authorities to solve the problem of the failed program for the reclamation of the Levoberezhny solid waste landfill and the lack of funds in the budget of the city and region due to the deterioration of the ecological state of our region and the whole of the Moscow region and the Moscow region. The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment of the Russian Federation (Ministry of Natural Resources) recently published a state report on the state of the environment in Russia in 2015, from which it follows that 17.1 million Russians, or 17% of the country's urban population, live in cities with high and very high air pollution. In August, the head of the Ministry of Natural Resources Sergei Donskoy said that the worst situation with the environment in Moscow. G.
O. Khimki, as directly territorially connected with Moscow and divided only administratively - among these environmental problems. The Levoberezhny area of the city of O. Khimki, Moscow Region, is densely populated; the number of new houses exceeds the original development plan.
Our district is located in the zone of the thermal power station, the Moscow Ring Road, the federal highway M11. The ecological situation is worsened by two solid waste landfills ("Levoberezhny" and "Dolgoprudnensky"), one of which is closed, but a waste processing plant operates on its territory, and the other is operating. This neighborhood poses a real threat to the health of thousands of people. According to the World Health Organization, today environmental factors form up to 25% of human pathologies. Children are the first to react to environmental pollution.
The inhabitants of our area are mainly young families of reproductive age. The ecological situation in the region today does not contribute to the birth of a healthy generation. We perfectly understand the difficult economic situation in the country and the lack of budgetary funds for the immediate reclamation of the Levoberezhny solid waste landfill, but at the same time we absolutely do not understand the complete inaction of the Moscow Region authorities in resolving this issue. At the same time, we would like to remind you that earlier this landfill was included in the federal target program "Elimination of accumulated environmental damage", however, no funds have yet been allocated for this. Instead of solving the problem with the specified solid waste landfill at the expense of federal programs, as reported by a number of federal and regional media outlets, the authorities are trying to shift this problem onto any off-budget investors who are ready to reclaim the landfill, while promising to give permission for any buildings and structures that make a profit to cover investment costs.
On December 14, 2016 the site “Moscow Region Today” publishes the words of the Minister of Ecology and Nature Management of the Moscow Region Alexander Kogan that “… the Levoberezhny landfill in Khimki will be reclaimed for extra-budgetary funds. The investor plans to provide funeral services and build a crematorium next to the reclaimed landfill. ” On December 21, 2016, the Head of the Khimki Urban District of the Moscow Region signs Resolution No. 90 "On the appointment of public hearings on the inclusion of a land plot within the boundaries of the settlement of Khimki, Moscow Region and on changing the type of permitted use of a land plot in the territory of the Khimki urban district, Moscow Region." This Resolution is published on the website of the official website of the urban district of Khimki only on December 26, 2016 at 17.
44, despite the fact that the public hearings themselves are scheduled for December 27, 2016 at 15:00! That is, the city authorities intend to violate the legislation of the Russian Federation and their own Regulations on the procedure for holding public hearings on changes
the type of permitted use of the land plot (land plots), where it is indicated that the period for holding public hearings from the date of publication of the notice of their holding until the day of public hearings must be at least 3 (three) days. Such a rush, according to the residents of our district, is necessary for the city authorities for several reasons. Firstly, public hearings are scheduled on the eve of holidays, on weekdays, the next day after the publication of this decision, so that as few stakeholders as possible could attend these hearings to express their position. Secondly, representatives of the Administration of O.
Khimki does not hide the fact that the issue of building a crematorium with an investor has already been resolved, although there is no reclamation project or a development project yet. However, the Ministry of Ecology of the Moscow Region did not even carry out any preparatory design and survey work in order to at least estimate the necessary investments in the reclamation and re-profiling of this object. Knowledge of the real state of the landfill and the required amount of investment would make it possible to put the conversion of this site up for open competitive bidding for placing other facilities on its territory, the purpose of which could improve the infrastructure of the area. Instead of all this, an investor was found ready, in addition to the existing environmentally hazardous facilities for residents of nearby areas, to build an additional crematorium with several stoves and a columbarium for the subsequent burial of ashes, for which they are currently trying to change the type of permitted use of the land plot next to the solid waste landfill " Levoberezhny ". Thirdly, according to the authorities, the investor promises to build a huge pyramid on the site of the Levoberezhny solid waste landfill (a mountain of household waste covered with earth) - a memorial to the fallen heroes with possible burials of those killed in hostilities, military personnel, and in the rest of the territory to build columbariums for cremated people, and places for the burial of residents of the Moscow region.
However, at present, the type of permitted use of only the land plot with cadastral number 50: 10: 0010405: 55, with a total area of about 3 hectares, is being changed, while the designation of the main site of the Levoberezhny solid waste landfill with cadastral number 50: 10: 0010405: 28, with a total area of 20 hectares - remains unchanged: "For the operation of the existing landfill for solid domestic waste." That is, it seems that the local population is being deliberately deceived about the planned and begun implementation of the reclamation of the solid waste landfill, while the solid waste landfill itself will be left unchanged, and part of this landfill will be redesigned for funeral services and the construction of a crematorium. The intention of these actions is justified only by an attempt to get away from control over the fact that the norms of the current legislation of the Russian Federation will be violated during the construction of the crematorium in an already ecologically unfavorable area. Federal Law "On the sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the population" dated 30.03.
1999 N 52-FZ establishes a special area with a special regime of use around facilities and industries that are sources of impact on the environment and human health. The size of the sanitary gap from the settlement to the crematorium must be at least 1,000 meters. At the same time, from the nearest houses to the land plot, along which they are trying to change the type of permitted use for the possible construction of a crematorium - no more than 600 meters, not to mention the boundaries of the settlement itself, which categorically contradicts the existing norms for the placement of such objects. In addition to obvious violations of the current legislation, in the opinion of the residents of our region, there is also an attempt to blaspheme towards burial sites. As mentioned above, the investor promises to erect on the site of the Levoberezhny solid waste landfill a memorial to the fallen heroes with possible burials of those killed in hostilities, military personnel, and on the rest of the territory to build columbariums for cremated and burial places for residents of the Moscow region, which, according to residents, it will be an absolute blasphemy - to bury the fallen soldiers and inhabitants in the remnants of a garbage heap!
As far as we know, the reclamation of closed solid waste landfills throughout the country is already being carried out with the construction of parks in their place. For example, the solid waste landfill in Vladivostok, which will become a park, or the Lyubertsy solid waste landfill "Nekrasovka", which has become a recreational park, or the "Salaryevo" solid waste landfill, which should become a park area with ski slopes. These are great examples of restoring the natural balance and caring for the inhabitants of the surrounding areas! And in contrast to this, at the entrance to the heart of our country - Moscow - it is planned to install a crematorium, in violation of environmental standards, and in the attempts of the city and regional authorities to solve the problem of the failed program for the reclamation of the Levoberezhny solid waste landfill and the lack of funds in the budget of the city and the region for due to the deterioration of the ecological state of our area. Inhabitants of the young and developing region of Levoberezhny g.
In the northern-eastern part of the Levoberezhny microdistrict in Khimki, Moscow Region, not far from the Moscow Ring Road, there is a giant garbage dump. Officially, it is called the Levoberezhny solid waste landfill, and in common parlance - the left bank, Khimki, Kireevskaya landfill. It is separated from the residential buildings of the microdistrict by about 750 m. The area of the landfill is about 20 hectares, the height is about 12-14-storey building. This mountain of rubbish is visible for several kilometers not only to residents of the Left Bank, but also to the right-bank Khimki, as well as to residents of the Moscow districts of Businovo and Khovrino.
The presence of a landfill makes the ecological situation in this part of Khimki extremely unfavorable and it is getting worse from year to year. Meanwhile, back in the 1970s and 80s. The left bank of Khimki was one of the most beautiful natural corners of the Moscow region. Levoberezhtsy even called their area "Russian Switzerland". The main reason for the transformation of this beautiful area into an ecological disaster zone was precisely the emergence and thoughtless exploitation of the landfill.
The polygon was formed in mid. 1970s on the site of a former clay quarry near the village of Novo-Kireevo, from where it got its name "Kireevskaya dump". Back in the first half of the 1980s. the dump was almost level with the ground, and far enough from the residential buildings of the Left Bank. But gradually it expanded, grew both in breadth and height and in length, gradually approaching the residential area. In the 1980s. among the local population there were rumors about its imminent closure, but this did not happen - as one of the officials put it, "they decided to develop the dump." And in the 1990s - 2000s. landfill has become a profitable commercial business, and the operation of the landfill has finally become predatory. Endless lines of garbage trucks brought here tens of tons of waste, and in a matter of years a 10-storey mountain of garbage grew in the once beautiful Left Bank.
In 2005-2006. For the population of the Left Bank, the situation with the landfill became intolerable, especially for residents of the nearby streets - Sovkhoznaya, Bibliotechnaya and Pozharsky, who began to complain to the administration of the Khimki city district, calling the existence of the landfill a mockery of the residents of the microdistrict, calling it a "terrible in every sense a testing ground" ... Because the windows of many houses turned out to be overlooking the landfill, and as soon as the wind rose, a strong smell of stench spread. Residents complained about unsanitary conditions, about an endless line of garbage trucks under the windows, about an increase in the number of respiratory diseases and cancer. Television came repeatedly to shoot reports about the plight of the population. But the landfill, meanwhile, continued to function, although all the possibilities for disposing of waste in this place were exhausted. Currently, there are reports that the landfill was closed in 2012 (at least officially) and a decision was made to reclaim it. However, a giant pile of garbage that has accumulated over the decades continues to poison the soil and atmosphere, create an unfavorable ecological situation in the territory of a significant part of Khimki and the North-West of Moscow.
