The article addresses methodical support of forensic environmental research and national standards of the Russian Federation (GOSTs), which are also used for methodological purposes.The author demonstrates that in studies of the ecological condition of environmental objects to determine the cost of their restoration, the approaches presented in the federal assessment standards are used as methodological materials. She also proposes the directions for further improvement of methodical support of environmental forensics.
A year ago the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation issued its Plenum Decree No. 49 «On some issues of applying legislation regulating environmental damage remediation». The paper examines several sections of the decree, including Section 13 (on damage compensation by recovery of costs and (or) making the defendant liable for site remediation), Section 14 (on the court’s use of fees and environmental damage assessment methodologies) and Section 18 (on the possibility of making the defendant liable for environmental remediation if a remedial action plan is already in place), as well as forensic practices involved in their enforcement. The authors conclude that substantive remediation of environmental damage requires the assessment of potential costs of remedial action by means of forensic environmental investigation and preparation of recultivation and other remedial project plans.
The paper examines the possibilities of using forestry regulations, including the Rules of Reforestation adopted on June 29, 2016 by Decree No. 375 of the Ministry of Natural Resources andEnvironment of the Russian Federation, for the assessment of remediation costs by environmental forensic scientists
The article analyses arbitration courts’ practice on the assignment of forensic environmental investigations on cases concerning the compensation for environmental damage caused by various environmental violations. At present, such investigations are assigned quite often. However, in most cases, private experts conduct them since there are very few state environmental experts. The article addresses examples of forensic environmental investigations for particular cases: on the facts of discharge of wastewater and oil products into water bodies, deforestation. It is shown that when determining the amount of harm (damage), non-state experts rely on the methods of calculating approved by the Ministry of natural resources and ecology of the Russian Federation, although many experts point out the shortcomings of these methods. In contrast, the Ministry of Justice system’s environmental experts determine the cost of restoration for specific violated environmental objects.
