In the Chelyabinsk region, a toll has been introduced to the lake Bolshiye Allaki, located in the Tyubuk rural settlement of the Kaslinsky district. The amount is 500 rubles. Local residents noticed mountains of rubbish along the reservoir.
According to the deputy minister of ecology of the region Vitaly Bezrukov, Big Allaki is not a natural monument or a specially protected natural area. Nevertheless, the inspectors of the department will conduct a thorough check on the issue of charging money for access to the lake, reports 1obl.ru.
“We need to make sure that the passage to the water body is free and people can freely approach the lake. If it turns out that the territory is littered, as they say, experts will issue an order to tenants to eliminate the violation, ”Bezrukov explained.
Earlier in August, representatives of the Ministry of Ecology of the Chelyabinsk Region, together with the prosecutor’s office, inspected the state of Lake Arakul near the village of Vishnevogorsk. The reservoir is a natural monument and in recent years has become shallow due to water losses during pumping for the needs of the population. 11 million rubles will be allocated from the regional budget to modernize the networks.
