Ural Federal District’s division of Rosprirodnadzor (the state environmental watchdog) completed its unscheduled inspection of Sinara Pipe Plant that was aimed at checking the plant’s compliance with two earlier orders. As it turned out, the company failed to fulfill one order, with a new order issued for the enterprise.

Two Rosprirodnadzor experts were sent to take part in the investigation carried out by Sverdlovsk Region public prosecution authorities upon the request of Ural Federal District’s division of Russia’s General Prosecutor’s Office; the inquiry is targeted at verifying the information provided by Plenipotentiary Representative of Russian Federation President in Ural Federal District regarding the alleged emission of environmentally harmful substances by Pervouralsk-based Russian Chrome 1915.
