Environmental Quality Control and Fees for a Negative Impact on the Environment

I.P. Blokov, Can.Sc. (Engeneer.), the Public Non-Profit Non-Governmental Organization (PNPNGO) «Greenpeace Council»

A fees for a negative environmental impact must regulate this impact. However, its collection did not lead to the reduction of pollution to standard levels. In recent years the total fees was decreasing; it felt down by three times from 2013 to 2018. Fees reduction does not correspond to changes in the emissions, discharges and waste generation. The artical identify the reasons for reducing the efficiency of fees on the base of actual data. Annual fees indexation does not compensate inflation. The list of considered substances was shortened, daily average MAC (maximum allowable concentration) of several common substances was increased, fee for emissions from mobile sources was canceled, coefficient 2 in the Arctic zone was canceled, etc. The author proposed a number of system measures to restore the regulatory role of these payments.

Keywords: pollution fees, negative impact on the environment, environmental protection, pollution control, economic incentives, environmental activities.
