Only 6% of the budget for the environmental state program sent to improve the situation in the Novosibirsk region

The Control and Audit Chamber of the Novosibirsk Region (KSP) analyzed the expenses for the state program "Environmental Protection" in the region and found millionth violations. Only 6% of the program budget spent improving ecology and reducing pollution.

Almost 400 million rubles were spent on the implementation of the state program “Environmental Protection” in the Novosibirsk Region in 2017-2018. Most of the expenses paid for the regional budget, said the auditor of the KSP Elena Sablin at a meeting of the agricultural committee of the Legislative Assembly.

She added that almost 273 million rubles were spent on the development of the water management complex, 47 million rubles to support fish farming and fishermen. “General program events” cost 47 million rubles, and only 24.5 million rubles were allocated to improve the ecology and reduce the consequences from environmental pollution. The implementation of the program in the KSP was recognized as effective.

The press service of the regional parliament reported that the defense of the plan amounted to 60 million rubles. It is associated with non -fulfillment of work on state and municipal contracts, the auditor of the KSP said.

Studies paid from the state program’s budget “are the basis for the adoption of administrative measures to violators of environmental legislation, as well as calculating the size of the damage,” added the press service of the Legislative Assembly. The KSP considered that it is necessary to increase the financing of the analytical activities of the regional Ministry of Natural Resources, which oversees the environmental state program.

“We are talking about one-time control,-about control and supervision activities for specific, local measurements. At the same time, the level of expenses of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Ecology of the Novosibirsk Region for the study of the state of the environment, which is up to 500 thousand rubles. In a year, it is insufficient to carry out in full environmental control and monitoring measures. It is necessary to increase at least twice, ”said Yuri Marchenko, deputy minister of natural resources.

The Chairman of the Agrarian Committee Oleg Podima promised him support in increasing financing by another 500 thousand rubles.

Since November 2018, the Novosibirsk Ministry of Natural Resources has been headed by Andrei Danilenko. Previously, he held the post of deputy head of the Verkhne-Oobsky basin water department. In 2011, he worked as deputy head of the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection in the Regional Government.

Almost 230 million rubles were sent according to the state program to combat flooding. According to the regional Ministry of Natural Resources, 23 settlements were revealed in the Novosibirsk Region, which are flooded with surface or groundwater. Within the framework of state programs, 11 of 25 necessary events are implemented, the press service of the Legislative Assembly was added.

“More than half of all funds were spent on drainage of land. And what is the result? Have you drained the land? Are people happy? Did you leave the basements? That is, what is the actual result of the costs of these 229 million rubles? " - asked the deputy chairman of the agrarian committee Denis Subbotin.

The Deputy Minister of Natural Resources, Yuri Marchenko, said that more than 2.8 thousand objects are withdrawn from the flooding zone.

“Monitoring data show that groundwater levels are falling. In Barabinsk, an apartment building is being built in the drained territory, ”the official added.

In September 2019, the KSP presented the deputies with the results of checking the implementation of the state program for the development of rural territories for the same period, Taiga.info wrote . The auditors found facts of allocation of assistance for housing construction in the wrong order, as well as tightening payments. The KSP also found two cases of illegal allocation of state support for 2.36 million rubles.

The auditors also found that the regional Ministry of Agriculture underestimated the performance indicators. In two years, such changes were made four times.

“The specified approach, according to the KSP, will not allow to evaluate the real degree of satisfaction of rural residents at the end of the state program,” concluded in the control and accounting chamber.

According to the results of 2018, the effectiveness of state programs in the Novosibirsk region decreased, representatives of the regional government and the socio-economic department of the Legislative Assembly said . Not enough new roads, medical institutions were built in the region, young families were not provided with housing. Work was effectively conducted on patriotic education and "strengthening the unity of the Russian nation."

The chairman of the budget committee, Alexander Morozov, proposed to develop an additional assessment index that would “determine the quality of life in the territory”.

“As there were problems with roads, with clean water, with a clean, with a repair in schools, new facilities, faps, so everyone has these problems in the district,” admitted Valentin Sichkarev, deputy. - Next year, we all go to the polls, and we will all report to voters. In my opinion, the best indicator that would say that this state program works well is the amount of voter orders. <...> The ceiling that we need to achieve is still very high. ”
