Work with hazardous sites

In October 2026, GBU NO "Ecology of the Region" put forward for public discussion amendments to the General Plan and the Land Use and Development Rules of Nizhny Novgorod that are needed to eliminate a storage pond of acid tars at the 21st kilometer of the Moscow Highway. In the current General Plan the site is listed as a collective gardening zone; the institution proposed reclassifying it as an industrial and municipal zone — as a first step toward including the site in the federal project "General Cleanup" of the national project "Environmental Well-Being."[2]

In total, the authorities of Nizhny Novgorod Region had planned to nominate four sites of accumulated environmental damage for participation in the federal program: the "Neftyamy" fuel-oil storage facility, the industrial waste landfill of the former PO "Korund" in Bolshoe Kozino, and the acid tar ponds of the former AOOT "Firm Varya" in Nizhny Novgorod and in Balakhna Okrug. For the site in Balakhna Okrug, the environmental review issued a negative opinion. If the applications were approved, actual work to eliminate the contamination could begin in 2027.[2]
