Russia to liquidate far eastern Kozelsky toxic chemical site in 2021 : Kamchatka Governor

Kamchatskiy, Russia, Dec 24 (Sputnik) The Kozelsky toxic chemical site located in Russia's Kamchatka Territory will be liquidated in 2021 to prevent a potential threat to the Pacific Ocean, regional Governor Vladimir Solodov told Sputnik on Thursday.
In October, Solodov said that the death of a massive number of aquatic organisms in the coastal waters of Kamchatka, which occurred in September, might have been caused by toxic pollution. According to the governor, the Kozelsky site was the evident source of the pollution. Russian environment experts subsequently denied that the water had been polluted by toxic chemicals and considered the governor's assumption as groundless. However, Solodov still decided to close down the site.
"It is winter now. And it is clear that now the site's recultivation is unsafe, and, in fact, impossible with such snow cover. That is why a critical decision to close it down has been made. Now, works on the project should be carried out, then research. And in 2021, I am sure, we will manage to solve this issue. Anyway, I will do my best to achieve it, and there is support from the government," Solodov said.
