A Kuzbass coal-producing company will have to pay more than $587,980 for discharging industrial waste into the Inya River, the Prosecutor General’s Office reported on Tuesday on its website. “Listvyazhnaya Mine discharged waste water into the Inya River and did not comply with acceptable limits on discharging polluting substances, thereby exceeding the permitted concentration of chlorides, sulphates, phosphates, iron and solid residuals,” the office reported. According to the Federal Service for Supervision of Natural Resources, the environmental damage came to more than 17.6 million rubles ($608.730). Therefore, the Belov City Court ordered the mine to compensate the Belov City Court for the full amount of the damages to its budget.
