The use of the water protection zone is regulated by law, private construction is allowed in compliance with established standards. The owner of a land plot located near various water bodies has the right to build, observing the restrictions on construction.

The water protection zone of a water body has a special legal status; in order to avoid conflict situations, it is recommended to first familiarize yourself with the current regulations.

The concept of a water protection zone

The current Water Code of the Russian Federation defines the concept of a protected area. In Art. 65 states that this land adjacent to the shore of the reservoir can be used for economic, construction and cultural purposes only under special conditions.

The law protects water bodies from pollution and damage, guarantees the safety of animals and plants located there. Protecting the existing natural balance, the VK RF determines the rules for use, punishment for violation of the adopted resolutions and regulations for the use of the water protection zone.

In order to avoid troubles that may arise after the completion of construction and when issuing a certificate of ownership, it is necessary to prevent violations of the law. Obtaining a building permit or registering home ownership will have to face unforeseen circumstances. The best option is prior approval and obtaining permission than paying significant fines for proven violations.

The most serious option is when the developer receives an order to demolish the erected building, which can be extremely difficult to cancel. By law, the ban on building in the coastal zone applies to 20 m from the water's edge. A nearby house or outbuildings may be demolished by court order.

It is not permissible to install fences and other barriers that prevent third parties from accessing the reservoir. Having fenced off part of the coastal zone and creating additional inconvenience for citizens, the owner of the site will be forced to demolish it and pay a fine.

Do not forget that the liquidation work is paid by the violator, the funds from the guilty person are collected by enforcement proceedings.

Restrictions on construction in the water protection zone

Protection of the water protection zone is carried out in accordance with established standards. The approved coastline is the starting point for all measurements relating to building permits. The use of the coastal strip has a restriction on the implementation of various activities and depends on the distance from the source of the reservoir.

For example, the width of the lane on which it is not allowed to build, is for rivers:

if less than 10 km from the source, then 50 m should be retreated from the water's edge;
if 10-50 km, then construction cannot be carried out closer than 100 m;
if more than 50 km, then a retreat of 200 m is required.

The calculation of the distance from the water in the case of lakes and other closed water reservoirs is carried out depending on the perimeter of the coastline and the surface area of the object. For example, if the lake is less than half a kilometer in size, then the water protection zone is located at 50 m. Such a regulation applies to artificial and natural water resources. For the seashore, the distance for development is much higher and is set at 500 m.

If the river has an insignificant length, less than 10 km, then the water protection zone coincides with the coast. An exception is made for carrying out activities directly near the source of a stream or a small river. You will have to retreat from the coast by 50 m, otherwise the ban on construction near the water body will be violated.

To other restrictions on the use in economic activities and living near the water protection zone the following applies:

the inadmissibility of using wastewater for land reclamation and other agricultural needs. Since the land plot is located in the immediate vicinity of the reservoir, after watering and irrigation, wastewater enters the reservoir;
the formation of animal burials, cemeteries or storage of industrial waste, especially of increased toxicity, is unacceptable in the zone;
plowing areas is not allowed. The coastline should not be exposed to heavy equipment, the formation of earthen blockages and other actions leading to soil erosion;
in the protective zone it is impossible to graze cattle and arrange summer paddocks;
the movement of all types of transport, the formation of spontaneous or planned parking is prohibited.

With all existing restrictions, construction in compliance with established rules is permitted by law. This will require the issuance of additional permits and the introduction of equipment and devices for the protection of a nearby water body into the design documentation.

Do you think you are Russian? Born in the USSR and think that you are Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian? No. This is not true.

You are actually Russian, Ukrainian or Belarusian. But you think you are a Jew.

Game? Wrong word. The correct word is "imprinting".

A newborn associates himself with those facial features that he observes immediately after birth. This natural mechanism is characteristic of most living beings with vision.

Newborns in the USSR for the first few days saw their mother for a minimum of feeding time, and most of the time they saw the faces of the maternity hospital staff. By a strange coincidence, they were (and still are) mostly Jewish. Reception is wild in its essence and effectiveness.

All your childhood you wondered why you live surrounded by non-native people. Rare Jews on your path could do anything with you, because you were drawn to them, while others were repelled. Yes, even now they can.

You cannot fix this - imprinting is one-time and for life. It is difficult to understand, the instinct took shape when you were still very far from being able to formulate. From that moment, no words or details have been preserved. Only facial features remained in the depths of memory. Those traits that you consider your family.

System and Observer

Let us define a system as an object whose existence is not in doubt.

An observer of a system is an object that is not a part of the system it observes, that is, it determines its existence, including through factors independent of the system.

From the point of view of the system, the observer is a source of chaos - both control actions and the consequences of observational measurements that do not have a causal relationship with the system.

An internal observer is a potentially achievable object for the system in relation to which the inversion of the observation and control channels is possible.

An external observer is even an object potentially unattainable for the system, located beyond the event horizon of the system (spatial and temporal).

Hypothesis #1. All-seeing eye

Let's assume that our universe is a system and it has an external observer. Then observational measurements can take place, for example, with the help of "gravitational radiation" penetrating the universe from all sides from the outside. The capture cross section of "gravitational radiation" is proportional to the mass of the object, and the projection of the "shadow" from this capture onto another object is perceived as an attractive force. It will be proportional to the product of the masses of objects and inversely proportional to the distance between them, which determines the density of the "shadow".

The capture of "gravitational radiation" by an object increases its randomness and is perceived by us as a passage of time. An object that is opaque to "gravitational radiation", the capture cross section of which is larger than the geometric size, looks like a black hole inside the universe.

Hypothesis #2. Internal Observer

It is possible that our universe is watching itself. For example, using pairs of quantum entangled particles spaced apart in space as standards. Then the space between them is saturated with the probability of the existence of the process that generated these particles, which reaches its maximum density at the intersection of the trajectories of these particles. The existence of these particles also means the absence of a sufficiently large capture cross section on the trajectories of objects capable of absorbing these particles. The remaining assumptions remain the same as for the first hypothesis, except:

Time flow

External observation of an object approaching the event horizon of a black hole, if the “outside observer” is the determining factor of time in the universe, will slow down exactly twice - the shadow from the black hole will block exactly half of the possible trajectories of “gravitational radiation”. If the determining factor is the "internal observer", then the shadow will block the entire trajectory of interaction and the flow of time for an object falling into a black hole will completely stop for a view from the outside.

Also, the possibility of combining these hypotheses in one proportion or another is not excluded.

Water protection zones are territories adjacent to the coastline (boundaries of a water body) of seas, rivers, streams, canals, lakes, reservoirs and on which a special regime for economic and other activities is established in order to prevent pollution, clogging, siltation of these water bodies and depletion their waters, as well as the preservation of the habitat of aquatic biological resources and other objects of the animal and plant world.

Coastal protective strips are established within the boundaries of water protection zones, on the territories of which additional restrictions on economic and other activities are introduced.

Outside the territories of cities and other settlements, the width of the water protection zone of rivers, streams, canals, lakes, reservoirs and the width of their coastal protective strip are established from the location of the corresponding coastline (boundary of the water body), and the width of the water protection zone of the seas and the width of their coastal protective strip - from the high tide line. In the presence of centralized stormwater drainage systems and embankments, the boundaries of the coastal protective strips of these water bodies coincide with the parapets of the embankments, the width of the water protection zone in such areas is set from the parapet of the embankment.

The width of the water protection zone of rivers or streams is set from their source for rivers or streams with a length of:

1) up to ten kilometers - in the amount of fifty meters;
2) from ten to fifty kilometers - in the amount of one hundred meters;
3) from fifty kilometers and more - in the amount of two hundred meters.

For a river or stream with a length of less than ten kilometers from the source to the mouth, the water protection zone coincides with the coastal protective strip. The radius of the water protection zone for the sources of the river, stream is set at fifty meters.

The width of the water protection zone of a lake, reservoir, with the exception of a lake located inside a swamp, or a lake, a reservoir with a water area of less than 0.5 square kilometer, is set at fifty meters. The width of the water protection zone of a reservoir located on a watercourse is set equal to the width of the water protection zone of this watercourse.

The boundaries of the water protection zone of Lake Baikal are established in accordance with the Federal Law of May 1, 1999 N 94-FZ "On the Protection of Lake Baikal".

The width of the water protection zone of the sea is five hundred meters.

The water protection zones of the main or inter-farm canals coincide in width with the right-of-way of such canals.

Water protection zones of rivers, their parts placed in closed collectors, are not established.

The width of the coastal protective strip is set depending on the slope of the shore of the water body and is thirty meters for a reverse or zero slope, forty meters for a slope of up to three degrees and fifty meters for a slope of three or more degrees.

For flowing and waste lakes located within the boundaries of swamps and corresponding watercourses, the width of the coastal protective strip is set at fifty meters.

The width of the coastal protective strip of a river, lake, reservoir of especially valuable fishery importance (spawning, feeding, wintering grounds for fish and other aquatic biological resources) is set at two hundred meters, regardless of the slope of adjacent lands.

In the territories of settlements, in the presence of centralized stormwater drainage systems and embankments, the boundaries of coastal protective strips coincide with the parapets of embankments. The width of the water protection zone in such areas is set from the embankment parapet. In the absence of an embankment, the width of the water protection zone, the coastal protective strip is measured from the location of the coastline (boundary of the water body).

Within the boundaries of water protection zones, it is prohibited:

1) use of wastewater for the purpose of regulating soil fertility;
2) placement of cemeteries, animal burial grounds, facilities for the disposal of production and consumption waste, chemical, explosive, toxic, toxic and poisonous substances, radioactive waste disposal sites;
3) implementation of aviation pest control measures;
4) movement and parking of vehicles (except for special vehicles), with the exception of their movement on roads and parking on roads and in specially equipped places with a hard surface;

Within the boundaries of water protection zones, design, construction, reconstruction, commissioning, operation of economic and other facilities are allowed, provided that such facilities are equipped with facilities that ensure the protection of water facilities from pollution, clogging, silting and depletion of water in accordance with water legislation and legislation in the field of protection environment. The choice of the type of structure that ensures the protection of a water body from pollution, clogging, silting and depletion of water is carried out taking into account the need to comply with the standards for permissible discharges of pollutants, other substances and microorganisms established in accordance with environmental protection legislation. For the purposes of this article, structures that ensure the protection of water bodies from pollution, clogging, silting and depletion of water are understood to mean:

1) centralized water disposal systems (sewerage), centralized storm water disposal systems;
2) structures and systems for diverting (discharging) wastewater into centralized water disposal systems (including rain, melt, infiltration, watering and drainage waters), if they are designed to receive such waters;

What is a water protection zone

First, let's understand a little about the terminology. The water protection zone, from the point of view of legislation, is the lands adjacent to water bodies: rivers, lakes, seas, streams, canals, reservoirs.

In these areas, a special regime of activity has been established to prevent clogging, pollution, damage and depletion of water resources, as well as to preserve the habitual habitat of the animal and plant world, biological resources. On the territory of water protection zones, special protective strips are installed.

Changing Legislative Regulations

In 2007, the new Water Code of Russia came into force. In it, in comparison with the previous document, the regime of the water protection zone was radically changed (from a legal point of view). To be more precise, the size of coastal territories was greatly reduced. To understand what we are talking about, let's take an example. Until 2007, the smallest width of water protection zones for rivers (the length of the river is important) ranged from fifty to five hundred meters, for reservoirs and lakes - three hundred, five hundred meters (depending on the area of \u200b\u200bthe reservoir). In addition, the size of these territories was also clearly defined by such a parameter as the type of land adjacent to the water body.

The executive authorities of the Russian Federation were engaged in determining the exact dimensions of water protection zones and coastal protective belts. They in certain cases set the size of the territory from two to three thousand meters. And what do we have today?

Water protection zones of water bodies: modern realities

Now the width of coastal areas is established by the law itself (Article 65 of the Water Code of the Russian Federation). Water protection zones and coastal protection strips for rivers with a length of more than fifty kilometers are limited to an area of \u200b\u200bno more than two hundred meters. And executive authorities at the moment do not have the right to establish their own norms. We clearly see that the water protection zone of the river, even the largest, is no more than two hundred meters. And this is several times less than the previous standards. This is about rivers. And what about other water areas? Here the situation is even sadder.

The water protection zones of water bodies, such as lakes, reservoirs, have decreased tenfold in size. Just think about the numbers! Ten times! For bodies of water larger than half a kilometer, the zone is now fifty meters wide. But initially there were five hundred. If the water area is less than 0.5 km, then the water protection zone is not established by the New Code at all. This, apparently, should be understood as the fact that it simply does not exist? The logic in this situation is completely unclear. The dimensions are in size, but any reservoir has its own ecosystem, which should not be invaded, otherwise it threatens to disrupt all biological processes. So how can you leave even a small lake without protection? The only exceptions are those water bodies that are important in fisheries. We see that the water protection zone has undergone not the best changes.

Serious prohibitions in the old version of the Land Code

Previously, the law determined a special regime on the territory of the water protection zone. It was an integral part in a single mechanism of a set of measures to improve the hydrobiological, sanitary, hydrochemical, ecological state of lakes, rivers, reservoirs and seas, as well as the improvement of surrounding territories. This specialized regime meant that practically any activity in the water protection zones was prohibited.

In such places it was not allowed to break summer cottages and vegetable gardens, arrange parking of vehicles, and fertilize the soil. And most importantly, it was forbidden to build in the water protection zone without the consent of the competent authorities. And also under the ban fell the reconstruction of buildings, the conduct of communications, mining, land work, the arrangement of dacha cooperatives.

What used to be forbidden is now allowed

The new code contains only four prohibitions out of ten that previously took place:

It is not allowed to fertilize the soil with sewage.
Such a territory cannot become the location of livestock burial grounds, cemeteries, burial of poisonous, chemical and radioactive substances.
Airborne pest control measures are not allowed.
The coastal strip of the water protection zone is not a place for traffic, parking or parking of cars and other equipment. An exception may be only specialized areas with a hard surface.

Protective belts are now protected by law only from plowing land, from arranging pastures for livestock and camps.

In other words, legislators gave the go-ahead to place dacha cooperatives, car wash, car repairs, refueling, provide areas for construction, etc. in the coastal strip. In fact, construction is allowed in the water protection zone and on the coastline. Moreover, the obligation to coordinate all types of activities with competent structures (such as Rosvodoresurs) is even excluded from the law. But the most incomprehensible thing is that since 2007 they have been allowed to privatize land in such places. That is, any protected area can become the property of private individuals. And then they can do whatever they want with it. Although earlier in Art. 28 FZ was a direct ban on the privatization of these lands.

Outcomes of changes in the Water Code

We see that the new legislation is much less demanding on the protection of coastal areas and water resources. Initially, concepts such as a water protection zone, its size and the size of protective strips were defined by the laws of the USSR. They were based on geographical, hydrological, soil nuances. Possible nearest changes of the coast were also taken into account. The goal was to save water resources from pollution and possible depletion, to preserve the ecological balance of coastal zones, since they are habitats for animals. The water protection zone of the river was established once, and the rules were in effect for several decades. They did not change until January 2007.

There were no prerequisites for simplifying the regime of water protection zones. Ecologists point out that the only goal pursued by the legislators when making such drastic changes was simply to make it possible to legitimize the spontaneous mass development of the coastal territory, which has been growing over the past ten years. However, everything that was illegally built during the period of the old law cannot be legalized since 2007. This is possible only in relation to those structures that have arisen since the entry into force of the new norms. Everything that was before, of course, falls under earlier regulations and documents. This means that it cannot be legalized. Here such a collision arose.

What can liberal politics lead to?

The establishment of such a soft regime of reservoirs and their coastal zones, the permission to build structures in these places will adversely affect the state of nearby territories. The water protection zone of the reservoir is designed to protect the object from pollution, from negative changes. After all, this can lead to a violation of a very fragile ecological balance.

Which, in turn, will affect the life of all organisms and animals living in this territory. A beautiful lake in a forest can turn into an overgrown swamp, a fast river into a dirty creek. How many such examples can be given. Remember how many dacha plots were given away, how people with good intentions tried to ennoble the land ... But here's the bad luck: the construction of a thousand dachas on the shore of a huge lake led to the fact that it turned into a terrible smelly likeness of a reservoir in which it is no longer possible to swim. And the forest in the district pretty thinned out after the participation of people. And these are not the saddest examples.

Scale of the problem

The water protection zone of a lake, river or other body of water should be under the scrutiny of the law. Otherwise, the problem of one polluted lake or storage facility may develop into a global problem of the whole region.

The larger the body of water, the more complex its ecosystem. Unfortunately, the disturbed natural balance cannot be restored. Living organisms, fish, plants and animals will die. And it will be impossible to change anything. It's probably worth thinking about it.

Instead of an afterword

In our article, we considered the current problem of water protection facilities and the importance of observing their regime, and also discussed the latest changes in the Water Code. I would like to believe that the easing of norms regarding the protection of water bodies and adjacent territories will not lead to catastrophic consequences, and people will reasonably and carefully treat the environment. After all, a lot depends on us.
