Crematorium of Nizhny Tagil received a lawsuit from the prosecutor's office

Crematorium of Nizhny Tagil received a lawsuit from the prosecutor's office
The scandal in the Middle Urals around the crematorium, organized in the Sukholozhsky village of Nizhny Tagil, entered a new stage.  The environmental prosecutor's office has applied to the Leninsky court - it demands the closure of the enterprise, considering its activities illegal.

The relevant information was released by the press service of the prosecutor's office of the Sverdlovsk region.

Local residents' protests against the presence of a crematorium in close proximity to the residential buildings and the ‘Harmony’ kindergarten began last fall.  Complaints to the police, where the matter was referred to the corruption department, did not yield any positive results.

Residents continued to appeal to the city authorities, including the mayor of Nizhny Tagil, Vladimir Pinaev.  They also reached Metropolitan Eugene of Yekaterinburg and Verkhoturye.
The residents of the village wanted to gain support of the church authorities on the issue that the crematorium is offensive to Orthodox feelings.  As a result, the prosecutor's office intervened in the case.
An attempt to arrange an on-site inspection, which the prosecutor's office organized in November 2021, was unsuccessful.  Despite the advance agreement on the date of the visit, representatives of the company (Alliance LLC) did not meet the prosecutor's office and did not let its representatives in.  As a result, as reported by the Assistant Prosecutor Artur Stir, it was decided to continue the investigation, and to summon the representatives of the crematorium and the owner of the building to give explanations.

As a result, the check was nevertheless carried out, and it turned out that the place where the crematorium was located was officially assigned to the production zone.  It was allowed to conduct some types of economic activity there, with the exception of ritual.  This means that the funeral law was violated by the business owners.
It turned out that no one in the company had drawn up a project on the emission standards permissible in the area of   operation of the crematorium, as well as the project itself for the sanitary protection zone.
Therefore, the prosecutor's office demanded to close the crematorium, banning the burning of biological waste and human remains in it due to the threat to the health of residents and harm to the environment.

According to media reports, the crematorium project was the initiative of Ilya Solovyov, one of the managers of the Soyuz-NT company, which deals with transportation in the city.  The Alliance company was established in July 2021.  At the same time, Alexey Afanasyev was appointed to the position of the head of company, who spoke about his plans to work with the cremation plant.

Soon he left his post, telling reporters that all the documents on the work of the crematorium had been agreed.  The cremation installation passed all approvals from Rostekhnadzor and the fire service, and information on the sanitary protection zone was submitted to the Russian Federal State Agency for Health and Consumer Rights.
The current head of the crematorium, Vladimir Ozhegov, told the media that a lawsuit from the environmental prosecutor's office is common.
According to him, the company has installed modern chambers for incineration of bodies, which practically do not leave any smell or smoke.

At the same time, citizens continue to sound the alarm, referring to the head of the region, Yevgeny Kuyvashev.  Local residents want to get guarantees from the governor that the status of the land under the crematorium will not change as a result of falsifications at public hearings.
