The sour-milk quagmire in Kotelnich could lead to criminal charges.

      A "soured-milk" bog was found in the Kirov Region — a plot of land where dairy production waste is regularly dumped. According to the People's Front, it is located near the Kotel'nich–Darovskoy highway and may affect the Kurinka River.

      After activists reported it, specialists from the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the police arrived on site. The inspection revealed serious sanitary violations: waste after wastewater treatment was being discharged onto the ground, rather than into treatment facilities. Environmentalists took soil and water samples, and company employees were questioned by the police.

      Local residents are convinced that a cheese and dairy producer is involved in the discharge. In 2021 the organization was already fined for polluting the river; at that time it carried out repairs to its treatment facilities, after which complaints about white foam in the water stopped. Now a new dumping site has been found.

      Wastewater from dairy production contains organic substances — lactose, proteins and fats — that can cause significant damage to the ecosystem. Environmental damage is currently being assessed, and the question of initiating a criminal case against the company's officials is under consideration.
