The State Ecological Inspectorate of Ukraine has completed the calculation of losses for the contamination of the territory found at Metinvest - Kryvyi Rih Mechanical Repair Plant LLC. The company was presented with a claim for voluntary compensation for damage caused to the state in the amount of almost half a million hryvnia. This was reported by the press service of the State Environmental Inspection of Ukraine.

The State Ecological Inspectorate has provided Metinvest-KRMZ LLC with an order on the obligation to comply with the permit conditions for the emission of pollutants into the air. Also, the enterprise must ensure the implementation of the city environmental program to conduct research on possible emissions of pollutants from the use of lignosulfonate in production activities.
