THE ROLE OF ENGINEERING AND ENVIRONMENTAL EXAMINATIONS IN DETERMINING THE VALUE OF DAMAGE TO THE ENVIRONMENT WHEN DESTROYING GREEN PLANTATIONS

Features of an expert study of the materiality of damage lies in taking into account the variety of actual circumstances of the occurrence of the event of cutting green spaces and the substantiation of signs of materiality of damage. A forensic environmental engineering examination to investigate the materiality of environmental damage is appointed during an investigation by the legislature to compensate for damage caused by the destruction of green spaces. The essence of forensic engineering and environmental expertise is based on three cumulative features that are inherent in the nature of the expert’s special knowledge: subject, object and methodology of expert research. The main task of the forensic engineering and environmental review in the study of determining the materiality of damage resulting from the destruction of green spaces is to confirm the fact of causing significant damage as a result of the destruction of green spaces by the legislative bodies and the checks recorded in the documentation, to correctly determine the size and characteristics of the material damage caused by these bodies. A detailed examination of the features of the materiality of the damage leads to a comprehensive application of knowledge in the field of environmental engineering, economics, forestry, phytopathology, biology. In expert practice, it may be necessary to solve individual variants of the expert task, in relation to any set of main subtasks, their components or modifications, which are determined by the body that appointed the execution of the forensic engineering and environmental examination to study the materiality of damage resulting from the destruction of green spaces.
