Legal regulation of sanitary protection zones

The article discusses the main issues of legal regulation of establishment of sanitary protection zones during construction of real estate for transport companies, which directly affect environmental component of transport and construction business and rights of citizens. At present, Russia has legislation establishing sanitary protection zones based on the 2000 classification of industrial facilities and requirements for limiting economic activity within the boundaries of such zones. Existing modern system of Russian legislation on sanitary protection zones is criticized for following points: 1) classification of industrial enterprises requires revision taking into account modern realities; 2) current Russian legislation does not fix the obligation of transport and construction (operating) organizations to plant greenery in sanitary protection zones (at the municipal level, this gap is not always eliminated); 3) the issue of developing common sanitary protection zones for several enterprises has not been resolved; 4) it is required to decide on the need to develop recommendations for landscaping of sanitary protection zones and develop recommendations on landscaping of sanitary zones by the entrepreneurial community (an association of builders - self-regulatory organizations). The foregoing emphasizes the need to conduct research on indicated points. The study was prepared with financial support of Russian Federal Property Fund, the project “Self-regulatory organization as a legal model for implementation and development of social entrepreneurship in the construction sector” No. 18-011-00974.
