Disaster near Prokopyevsky: the work of the police and Rostekhnadzor stopped extinguishing the burning coal of the Koksovaya-2 mine

Prokopyevsk is threatened with a technogenic disaster due to the situation around LLC Shakhta Koksovaya-2. The police and Rostekhnadzor are pursuing the arbitration manager who was able to pay debts on the salary of workers of the bankrupt mine and is engaged in extinguishing fires on coal layers.

Emergencies on Koksova-2

The bankruptcy procedure of LLC Shakhta Koksova-2 was introduced in July 2012. Evgeny Lazarevich became the arbitration manager of the mine, who, according to Taiga.info, was appointed more than 20 times to similar positions when closing other Kemerovo mines. On December 18, the Arbitration Court recognized the mine, which began work back in 1936, bankrupt. Then the extraction of coal, which was supplied to the largest metallurgical plants in the country, stopped. At the end of 2012, about 1,500 thousand people worked here.

The actual owner of the mine was Moscow businessman Boris Yakubuk. He bought Coksovoy-2 and a number of unprofitable other Kuzbass mines in 2011, but, as she wrote

"Russian newspaper"

, never managed to "reanimate" them. Spring

2013

In relation to Yakubuk, a criminal case was opened on the fact of abuse of authority, for two months he sat in a pre -trial detention center in the territory of the Kemerovo region, and then was released on bail of 5 million rubles. The case was instituted “on the appeal” of the Governor of Kuzbass Aman Tuleyev, then emphasized in the RF IC.

By decision of Rostekhnadzor, the mine stood a total of 171 days, which led to bankruptcy, the departure of the owner and the complete loss of the enterprise

By decision of Rostekhnadzor, the mine stood in 2012 a total of 171 days, which led to the bankruptcy of the mine, the departure of the owner and the complete loss of the enterprise. According to Koksova engineers, it always differed from the rest of the Prokopyevsky mines with “thorough approaches” to industrial safety, but for some reason caused “unhealthy interest” from the local Rostekhnadzor department. At the end of 2012, after the mine is declared bankrupt, as stated in the documents on the website of the Arbitration Court, the meeting of creditors approved a “plan to prevent technogenic consequences” for the period before the start of its conservation.

Within the boundaries of the mining mountain tidy, in 1973, after a coal spontaneous extension, an endogenous (internal) fire began, which was extinguished until October 1990. IN

2013

Over the outputs of the two layers, foci of fire reappeared. Above them there are a road, tram tracks and power lines, near the villages of North Maganak and Yasnaya Polyana are located nearby. The mine itself is located in the center of Prokopyevsk.

“1.5 kilometers long, 200 meters wide and 100 meters deep - this is a fire in this area. Heating foci where the layers end, ”Taiga.info explained chief engineer Alexander Anufrak.

In July 2013, in the framework of bankruptcy proceedings and measures to prevent emergencies at the Koksovaya-2 mine, she entered into an agreement with the Novosibirsk company Sibproektruprop to develop a project to eliminate heating foci. He assumed the seizure of coal from the foci and falling asleep with non -combustible rocks.

Coal, separated from the seized mountain mass, was sold by the mine, and due to the revenue received, Yevgeny Lazarevich and the director of the mine Andrei Grekov were calculated for the salary of the workers of the bankrupt enterprise, paid with the creditors of the mine, paid contractors for the liquidation of the fire and the preservation of the mine. According to Grekov, during the project it was possible to return the debts on salaries and social payments to 1360 employees and in a civilized reduction in them.

Elimination of the manager

Since December

2012

Koksovaya-2 does not extract coal in an underground way, but the minerals remained at the mine for pumping water from mountain workings. In addition, according to the unspoken agreements between the owner, local authorities and Rostekhnadzor, workers pumped water from two neighboring liquidated mines. Lazarevich, who was appointed by the Arbitration Court, began to help the “Koksovaya-2”, when the tasks, which, of course, did not include the maintenance of third-party enterprises. From the point of view of the law, he had no right to spend money on what the municipality was supposed to do. Despite the multiple appeals of the bankruptcy trustee and the director of the mine, the local and regional authorities eliminated the problems of closed mines, the mining of which is uncontrollably flooded.

The local and regional authorities eliminated the solutions of the problems of closed mines, the mining of which is uncontrolled flooded

“There are empty workings with methane, which will be later, no one can say,” Alexander Laurent told Taiga.info. - Now there is an uncontrolled flooding and the gasket of workings. Owner in January

2013

He refused us, the mine was put into free swimming. Flash of methane, high injuries - due to this they decided, I don’t know who, to open new mines on the surface, cuts. And cuts are a violation of ecology and other consequences. ”

On August 5, 2013, the supply of electricity on the Central District Complex stopped. The Siberian Directorate of Rostekhnadzor issued an order to withdraw people from the water-repaired chambers already Koksova-2 itself, saying that the situation on a closed "Central"

"Threatens the life of workers"

And this mine. This led to further flooding of Koksova-2 and a complete stop of pumps by August 28. All electrical equipment was destroyed by water.

“The mine is 100% lost,” the remaining workers say. The relevant letters from the management of the enterprise were sent to the City Hall of Prokopyevsk, the administration of the region and Rostekhnadzor, the report said in the report of Alexander Anufrack addressed to the acting Prosecutor of the Kemerovo Interdistrict Prosecutor's Office for the supervision of the implementation of laws in the coal mining industry Alexander Orlov.

Later, already in October

2013,

The object “Emergency situation” was introduced at the mine, and the Prokopyevsk administration at the municipal level introduced only a high readiness regime, although the situation that developed at Koksova-2 poses a real threat to the life and health of Prokopers. In accordance with Russian legislation, the introduction of the “Emergencies” regime of the municipal or regional level involves financing measures to eliminate emergencies at the expense of the corresponding budgets, which local and regional authorities, of course, try to avoid.

“Only thanks to the intervention of Aman Tuleyev and his then deputy Valentin Mazikin, a regime of increased readiness was introduced to eliminate emergencies,” -

They wrote

Kuzbass media. Then another vice-governor Andrei Gammershmidt noticed that water is not pumped out with Koksova-2, and work “to prevent fire hazard” is not underway.

“To overcome the current situation, we repeatedly turned to the Government of the Russian Federation with a request to resume financing water -repaired complexes at the expense of budget funds, but did not receive positive answers,” said Gammershmidt.

Officials and representatives of the territorial department of Rostekhnadzor at the same time preferred not to say

200 thousand

The population of Prokopyevsk that the pumping of water from Koksova-2 ceased in August-just after the register of the supervisory authority.

On December 17, 2013, employees of the OUEBIPK of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Kemerovo Region conducted searches in the mine, checking the information that coal is allegedly illegally obtained in an open way. Recall that coal was removed as part of the breed extinguishing program. In any case, on December 23, miners recall, the investigation group arrived again, but already with the markesers - 6,100 tons of coal were stored on the territory of the mine. Money from his sales would have gone to the December salary to the team.

One night, 4500-5000 tons of coal were taken out of the warehouse. Money from its sale would go to the December salary to the team

“The police arrived in the evening, the fence was in a coal warehouse, we did not open, but they made the road past the gate with their loader, with their transport,” said the director of the mine Andrei Grekov. - We have car scales there, which went through the state check for which we ship coal, but coal went past the scales. We still took into account the cars, everyone drove to the nearest enrichment factory “Coksovaya”, which is part of the Topprom holding [businessmen] Evgeny Renge and Nikolai Korolev. They stored all coal there. No one gave me any document as a director, and I made official requests all around why coal was taken out of the mine. ”

According to Andrei Grekov, 160 cars came out from the warehouse that night, 158 reached the factory, in total it was taken out

4500-5000

tons of coal, approximate value of 17 million rubles. “Where to get money, what to say to the team? I ask for a circle, give the owner to the enterprise, but no one comes to us from the owners, because the water level in the mine is already 90 meters, ”the Greeks continues, explaining that it is necessary for about 60 million rubles to launch the deep pumps and begin to pump out water.

Also in December, the justice of the peace, examined the case of the disqualification of Lazarevich, initiated by the head of the Prokopyevsky department of Rostekhnadzor Sergey Sleptsov. The judge removed the manager for a year, but the decision was appealed, and until the decision entered into force. Now Evgeny Lazarevich is on treatment in the Novosibirsk region, where he was done a surgical operation.

The last meeting in the case of his disqualification took place on February 12. Lawyers petitioned the transfer of consideration in connection with the state of the client, with which the court agreed, appointing a meeting on March 5. The prosecutor and representatives of Rostekhnadzor were against. The judge was also interested in their opinion, although they are not participants in this case. During the break, the Taiga.info correspondent saw how employees of the supervisory authority, among whom was the head of the Prokopyevsky department of Rostekhnadzor Sergey Sleptsov, calmly conferred the prosecutor.

There are two exits for the city - take the mine to the mayor's office or remove Lazarevich, hoping for a more flexible attitude to the laws of the new manager

In January 2014, a criminal case was instituted on the fact of the implementation of illegal entrepreneurial activities of Koksova-2. Lazarevich, despite the prohibitions of doctors, was transported from the Novosibirsk hospital in a pre -trial detention center in Prokopyevsk. The accusation of Lazarevich has already been presented, a preventive measure in the form of a pledge has been elected, Taiga. Info, his lawyer Katerina Kazakova and the director of the mine Andrei Grekov told Taiga.info. In the administrative buildings of Koksova-2, almost every week searches are held.

The paradox is that on January 23, the State Directorate of the Prokopyevsky Department of Rostekhnadzor Vladimir Yashchenko issued LLC Shakhty Koksovo-2 LLC “Continue Work on the implementation of the project“ Elimination of the foci of heating of the formation of IV internal Golubevali in the boundaries of the mining of the Koksova-2 LLC with isolation of the layer output on the day of the day. the emergence of emergencies of a technogenic nature. " Obviously, now the Rock Bankrot is simply not able to fulfill.

After the Correspondent of Taiga.info arrived at the court in the Lazarevich case on February 14, on the official website of the administration of the Kemerovo region, appeared

message

“Governor A.G. Tuleev turned to law enforcement agencies with a request to figure out delays in the payment of salaries to employees of the Koksovaya-2 mines and Zenkovskaya.” The statement, in particular, says that “according to the financiers, it is possible that Mr. Lazarevich has so beloved by many top managers of the Golden Parachute.”

The defender of Lazarevich assured Taig.info that this message is slander, on this fact, a statement was sent to the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation on this fact about bringing the perpetrators to criminal liability under Part 5 of Article 128.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, and in the name of the Governor of the Kemerovo Region Aman Tuleyev - a requirement to publish an inaccurate information defaming the honor, dignity and business reputation arbitration manager.

There are two ways out of this situation for the city - to take the mine to the mayor's office or remove Lazarevich, then interacting with another manager and, hoping for his more flexible attitude to the laws. In the district department of Rostekhnadzor, they did not answer the request of Taigi.info at the time of publication. The press service of the Prokopyevsk administration, promising to find out the reaction of the city leadership, stopped answering phone calls.
