The Novotroitsk Chrome Complex Factory located in the Orenburg Region dumps all its industrial wastes, including hard and hazardous wastes, into Ural River, the RF Ministry of Natural Resources and Ecology reports.
      
      “Check has revealed that the enterprise does not have established standards of wastes generation and waste disposal limits, and does not pay for waste disposal”, the Ministry informs.
