Legal regime for waste management in the territory of the Caucasian Mineral Waters resorts
Abstract
Introduction. The article examines the problems of legal regulation and law enforcement practice in the field of waste management in the territory of the specially protected ecological and resort region of Caucasian Mineral Waters. In addition to the basic Federal Law of 24.06.1998 N 89-FZ (as amended on 08.08.2024) On Production and Consumption Waste, which regulates only the handling of several types of waste, there are a number of other regulatory legal acts establishing the legal regime for other types of waste. Each of the groups of regulatory legal acts suffers from certain shortcomings. Law enforcement practice is also contradictory.
Materials and methods. In preparing the article, along with general scientific methods of cognition (analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, etc.), special legal methods (formal legal, comparative legal, and other relevant research methods) were used.
Analysis. The resorts of the Caucasian Mineral Waters are a unique natural complex, sensitive to all negative impacts. However, their socio-economic development entails the formation of a large amount of waste, which has an extremely adverse effect on both natural healing resources and the environment of the region as a whole. The so-called accumulated damage that has formed over the past decades and has not yet been eliminated does not contribute to maintaining a favorable environmental situation.
Results. The conducted analysis of the regulatory framework, law enforcement practices, as well as the actual state of the waste management sphere in the territory of the Caucasian Mineral Waters resortsallowed us to identify problems that hinder the harmonization of the environmental situation and formulate proposals for improving legislation and law enforcement practices.
