Information, not legal advice — confirm the procedure for your product.

Legal basis

No product registration; operators of category I facilities need an integrated environmental permit (Federal Law 7-FZ Art. 31.1) and, where relevant, Rostechnadzor licences

Mining biotech, remediation, wastewater, consulting, licensing.

Regulator
Rosprirodnadzor (for environmental permits) and Rostechnadzor (for hazardous facility licenses).
Legal basis
Federal Law No. 7-FZ "On Environmental Protection" (Article 31.1); Government Decree No. 143 of 13.02.2019; Rostechnadzor Order No. 454 of 25.11.2020.
Typical time
25 calendar days to 1 month for KЭP processing.
Corrections
The draft is correct that there is no product registration for these services. However, it is incomplete regarding the regulatory requirements for the operator. Companies operating facilities that have a negative impact on the environment (Category I) must obtain a Comprehensive Environmental Permit (KЭP). Additionally, specific activities may require licenses (e.g., for hazardous production facilities).
Operators of facilities with a negative impact on the environment (Category I) must obtain a Comprehensive Environmental Permit (KЭP).

D3Sugarcane and palm-oil mill residues — vinasse, filter cake (press mud), bagasse, palm oil mill effluent (POME) and empty fruit bunches (EFB) — anaerobically digested, composted and returned to the field instead of raw discharge, open anaerobic lagoons, burning and mineral fertilizer
D2Grafting onto resistant rootstocks, biological/anaerobic soil disinfestation and biofumigation, and soilless (substrate and hydroponic) culture instead of methyl bromide and chemical soil fumigants
D1Oil and petroleum-product pollution clean-up by bioremediation — nutrient biostimulation, oil-degrading microbial preparations, landfarming/biopiles and phytoremediation — instead of chemical dispersants, burning and landfilling
D1Constructed (treatment) wetlands for villages, farms, small towns and stormwater — instead of chemical precipitation, chlorination of effluent, or discharge of untreated wastewater
D1Lake and pond algal-bloom (cyanobacteria) control by nutrient reduction, biomanipulation (fish-stock management, zooplankton), submerged-plant restoration and floating wetlands — instead of copper sulfate and chemical algicides
D1Fish louse (Argulus) control in ponds and lakes with egg-laying substrate boards, pond drying/liming and biological management — instead of organophosphate treatments
D2Oil-reservoir and pipeline souring (H2S) control by nitrate injection (biocompetitive exclusion by nitrate-reducing bacteria) — instead of continuous biocide dosing
D1Manure methane, ammonia and odour cut by anaerobic digestion with covered storage, low-protein diets balanced with fermentation amino acids, and biological air treatment of livestock houses — instead of open lagoons, sulfuric-acid slurry acidification and masking agents
D2Refractory gold ore processing by bacterial biooxidation (BIOX® and similar tank bioleaching) — instead of roasting; with biological cyanide destruction of tailings water
D2Copper (and nickel/cobalt) recovery from low-grade and secondary sulfide ores by heap and dump bioleaching + SX-EW — instead of concentration and smelting
D1Acid mine drainage and metal-rich mine water treatment with passive biological systems — sulfate-reducing bioreactors, compost wetlands, aerobic wetlands — instead of perpetual lime dosing
D2Petroleum-contaminated soil and drill cuttings cleaned by bioremediation (landfarming, biopiles, bioaugmentation, biostimulation) instead of excavation to landfill, incineration/thermal desorption and chemical oxidation
D1Metal-contaminated soils, mine tailings and smelter sites managed by phytostabilization, phytoextraction and rhizoremediation (gentle remediation options) instead of excavation, soil washing and inert capping
D1Farm nitrate and phosphate runoff controlled by biology — denitrifying bioreactors, wetlands and algal uptake — instead of end-of-pipe chemical dosing
D0Oilfield produced water treated biologically instead of chemical-only conditioning and disposal
D2Enhanced biological phosphorus removal instead of chemical precipitation with metal salts
D1Food and market organic waste treated by black soldier fly (BSF) larvae, composting and bokashi fermentation instead of landfilling, open dumping and incineration of wet waste
D3Sewage sludge and faecal sludge stabilized biologically — anaerobic digestion, thermophilic co-composting, sludge treatment (drying) reed beds — instead of lime stabilization, landfilling, incineration-only and raw dumping
D2Composting and anaerobic digestion of separately collected biowaste instead of landfill
