The joint commission from the Nenets branch of the Russian technical inspection and Naryanmarneftegaz company is holding an inquiry of accident with the oil spill. According to the preliminary estimate, 2,6 tons of oil spilled in result of incident, informed Nenets Autonomous Okrug Administration.
The representatives of the federal inspections (Rostekhnadzor and Rosprirodnadzor ), the Nenets AO Administration and journalists visited the site of occurrence.
The consequences of spill are said to be efficiently removed. The spill happened in the area of the Yaretarku river basin, but oil did not get into the water. The emergency crew had time to clean up the oil.
The situation was improved thanks to the subzero temperature and snow. The liquidators removed the oil together with the polluted snow, according to information from Naryanmarneftegaz.
The specialists of the Rosprirodnadzor (Nature inspection authorities) will check if oil has leaked into the ground. So far, ground tests have been sent to the examination. The results will be known in the beginning of November. The final verdict will be announced by the inspection on November 10, said Vladimir Bezumov, head of the inspection.
