What is a protective coastal strip? Water protection zone of a water body. Construction restrictions

Article 60. Water protection zones of water bodies and coastal protective strips. 1. Water protection zones of water bodies are lands that are adjacent to the coastline of surface water bodies and on which a special regime of economic and other activities is established in order to prevent pollution, clogging, siltation and depletion of water bodies, as well as to preserve the habitat of animals and flora.

Within water protection zones, coastal protective strips are established, in the territories of which additional restrictions on economic and other activities are introduced.
2. Within the water protection zones of water bodies, the following is prohibited:
carrying out aeronautical chemical works;
application chemicals control of pests, plant diseases and weeds;
usage Wastewater for soil fertilization;

placement of parking lots Vehicle, including in the territories of country houses, gardens and vegetable plots;
carrying out final fellings;
carrying out excavation and other work without approval from the federal authority executive power on water management in case water body is in federal ownership, and without the consent of the owner if the water body is separate.
In the territories of water protection zones of water bodies, intermediate felling and other forestry activities are permitted to ensure the protection of water bodies.
In cities and other settlements, if there are storm sewers and an embankment within the water protection zones of water bodies, it is allowed to place facilities for refueling, washing and repairing cars at a distance of no closer than 50 meters, and parking for vehicles - no closer than 20 meters from the water's edge.
3. Within the coastal protective strips, in addition to the restrictions specified in Part 2 of this article, the following are prohibited:

6. The width of coastal protective strips for rivers, lakes, reservoirs and other water bodies is established depending on the steepness of the coastal slopes and is, for the steepness of the slopes of adjacent territories:
having a reverse or zero slope - 30 meters;
having a slope of up to 3 degrees - 50 meters;
having a slope of more than 3 degrees - 100 meters.
For intramarsh lakes and watercourses, the width of the coastal protective strip is set at 50 meters.
The width of coastal protective strips for areas of reservoirs of particularly valuable fishery importance (spawning grounds, wintering pits, feeding areas) is set at 200 meters, regardless of the slope of the adjacent lands.
In urban settlements, if there is a storm sewer and an embankment, the border of coastal protective strips is combined with the embankment parapet.
7. Fixing the boundaries of water protection zones and coastal protective strips of water bodies (with the exception of isolated water bodies) on the ground with water protection signs of the established sample is ensured by the authorized Government Russian Federation by the federal executive body, and the boundaries of separate water bodies - by the owners.
The federal executive body authorized by the Government of the Russian Federation informs the population about the establishment of the boundaries of water protection zones, coastal protective strips and the regime of economic and other activities within their boundaries in the manner established by Part 9 of Article 41 of this Code.
For the purpose of complying with the legal regime of water protection zones and coastal protective strips, before their boundaries are fixed on the ground with water protection signs, for owners of land plots, landowners, land users and tenants of land plots, the boundaries of water protection zones and coastal protective strips of water bodies are considered established.
8. Information about the boundaries of water protection zones and coastal protective strips is subject to entry into the state land cadastre.
9. Coastal protective strips should be predominantly occupied by trees and shrubs or covered with grass.
10. Maintaining water protection zones and coastal protective strips, as well as water protection signs, in proper condition is the responsibility of the federal executive body for managing water bodies, water bodies under special use are the responsibility of water users, and isolated water bodies are the responsibility of the owners.
11. The regime for the use of territories of water protection zones and coastal protective strips in border areas is established by the Government of the Russian Federation on the proposal of a federal executive body authorized by the Government of the Russian Federation.

Article 65. Water protection zones and coastal protective strips

Commentary on Article 65

1. general review articles. The article includes 18 parts establishing the features of such elements of the legal regime of water protection zones and protective coastal strips, such as the features of the object that carries the regime, regime restrictions and the boundaries of their action in space.
Part 1 contains the definition and goals of establishing a special regime for carrying out activities within the boundaries of water protection zones.
Part 2 provides for a specific type of zoning of water protection zones (in the form of coastal protective strips), as well as the possibility of introducing additional restrictions within the boundaries of coastal protective strips.
Parts 3 - 10 establish requirements for the size of water protection zones and rules for determining their boundaries. At the same time, part 7 contains a reference norm to Federal law dated 01.05.1999 N 94-FZ “On the protection of Lake Baikal”.
———————————
NW RF. 1999, No. 18. Art. 2220.

Parts 11 - 14 establish requirements for the size of coastal protective strips and rules for determining their boundaries.
Part 15 contains a list of regime restrictions within the boundaries of water protection zones, and part 16 establishes permissible types of impact within their boundaries, as well as the conditions for the legality of such impact.
Part 17 contains a list of additional regime restrictions within the boundaries of coastal protective strips, the possibility of which is provided for in part 2 of the commented article.
In accordance with Part 18, the right to establish the procedure for establishing the boundaries of water protection zones and coastal protective strips on the ground is vested in the Government of the Russian Federation. Accordingly, the Government of the Russian Federation has the right to independently determine the entities obligated to establish such boundaries on the ground.
2. Goals, scope and addressees of regulations.
The purpose of the article is to ensure increased protection of water bodies from adverse impacts by introducing additional restrictions and prohibitions in areas adjacent to such objects.
The scope of the article is extremely wide, since it concerns all water bodies on the territory of the Russian Federation.
Therefore, the addressees of the article are an indefinitely wide range of persons who permanently or temporarily use territories adjacent to water bodies. The special addressee of the article is the Government of the Russian Federation, which, in turn, has the right to determine the circle of persons obliged to establish the boundaries of the zones on the ground provided for in the article. In accordance with paragraph 3 of the Rules for establishing the boundaries of water protection zones and the boundaries of coastal protective strips of water bodies, these include the authorities state power subjects of the Russian Federation, Federal agency water resources and its territorial bodies.

3. Basic concepts. They are terms whose meaning was disclosed above (“coastline”, “sea”, “river”, “canal”, “stream”, “lake”, “reservoir” - see commentary to Article 5; “water area” , “water body”, “depletion of water” - see commentary to Art. 1; “habitat of flora and fauna” - see commentary to Art. 3). Specific to the article under comment are such concepts as “water protection zone”, “coastal protective strip", "canal right-of-way", " locality», « storm drain", "embankment", "parapet", "water body of particular valuable fishery importance".

3.1. Water protection zone. The word zone (from the Greek swvn - belt) means a section, area, belt or strip that has a certain quality characteristic.

Big Soviet Encyclopedia(in 30 volumes) / Ch. ed. A.M. Prokhorov. M.: Soviet Encyclopedia, 1972. T. 9. P. 572.

The establishment of various types of zones in environmental legislation is one of the methods of territorial protection by allocating areas with special conditions of use (see, for example, Articles 48 and 49 of Federal Law N 166-FZ “On Fisheries and Conservation of Aquatic Biological Resources”). Zoning is used to establish different legal regimes for areas of space that, before the establishment of zones, had a homogeneous legal regime (for example, the allocation functional zones inside national parks). The essence of zoning for environmental purposes is, as a rule, the establishment within zones of activity restrictions that are more stringent than in adjacent areas of space (for example, sanitary protection zones, security zones of specially protected natural areas and so on.). Establishing zones means establishing a spatial and temporal framework for restrictions on economic or other activities.
———————————
See in more detail: Commentary on the Federal Law of December 20, 2004 N 166-FZ “On Fisheries and Conservation of Aquatic Biological Resources” / Ed. O.L. Dubovik. M., 2011.
Since natural complexes are very different in the set of components (mountains, forests, tundra, etc.), here we mean homogeneity on a certain legal basis, and not homogeneity in general. — Approx. auto

Accordingly, various types of zones (as well as belts) established for environmental purposes are a special case of specially protected areas. Consequently, the necessary elements of the legal regime of environmental protection zones are regime restrictions (regime of special protection), spatial and, if necessary, temporary boundaries of the restrictions.
———————————
For more information on specially protected areas, see: UN General Assembly. Sixty-second session. Item 79 (a) of the provisional agenda. World oceans and maritime law. Report Secretary General. Addition. A/62/66/Add.2 (Russian). pp. 41 - 42; Educational and practical commentary on the land legislation of the Russian Federation / Ed. O.L. Dubovik. M.: Eksmo, 2006. P. 481 - 482; Kalenchenko M.M. Legal regime territorial protection of the marine environment / Ed. O.L. Dubovik. M.: Gorodets, 2009. P. 57 - 65.

In accordance with Part 1 of the commented article, water protection zones are territories that are adjacent to the coastline of certain water bodies (seas, rivers, streams, canals, lakes, reservoirs) and in which a special regime for carrying out economic and other activities is established. A special operating regime is established in following purposes:
— prevention of pollution, clogging, siltation of these water bodies;
— preventing the depletion of their waters;
— preservation of the habitat of aquatic biological resources and other objects of flora and fauna.
Water protection zones are established only for water bodies directly provided for in the commented article, namely: seas, watercourses (rivers, streams, canals) and reservoirs (lakes, reservoirs, ponds). The commented article obviously does not apply to swamps and natural outcrops groundwater, glaciers and snowfields, as well as underground water bodies.
Regime restrictions in water protection zones are provided for in part 15 of the commented article and include prohibitions on:
1) use of wastewater for soil fertilization;
2) placement of cemeteries, cattle burial grounds, burial sites for production and consumption waste, chemical, explosive, toxic, toxic and noxious substances, radioactive waste disposal sites;
3) implementation of aviation measures to combat pests and plant diseases;
4) movement and parking of vehicles (except for special vehicles), with the exception of their movement on roads and parking on roads and in specially equipped places with hard surfaces.

Water protection zones are not established for rivers (parts thereof) placed in closed collectors.
For any lakes, reservoirs, with the exception of reservoirs located on watercourses. For lakes and reservoirs with an area of less than 0.5 square meters. km water protection zone is obviously not established.
The width of the coastal protective strip is equal to the width of the water protection zone and is 50 m, regardless of the slope.

Note that the boundaries of water protection zones may coincide in space with specially protected areas provided for by land, water legislation, legislation on wildlife, aquatic biological resources and the preservation of their habitat.
For example, in accordance with the Rules for the Establishment of Fish Protection Zones, the boundaries of the latter coincide with the boundaries of the water protection zones themselves. However, in accordance with paragraph 14 of these Rules, the rules for establishing the width of fish protection zones of ponds, flooded quarries that have a hydraulic connection with rivers, streams, lakes, reservoirs and seas (50 m) are also defined. Rosrybolovstvo is authorized to establish fishery protection zones and mark them on the ground. The rules for marking on the ground are approved by the relevant order of the Federal Agency for Fisheries. Fishing protection zones, unlike water protection zones, are created not by default (by force of law), but on the basis of the publication of a corresponding act by an authorized body.

Order of the Federal Agency for Fisheries dated December 15, 2008 N 410 “On approval of the Procedure for establishing the boundaries of fishery protection zones on the ground” // BNA of the Russian Federation. 2009. N 5.
See, for example: Order of Rosrybolovstvo dated November 20, 2010 N 943 “On the establishment of fishery protection zones of the seas, the shores of which fully or partially belong to the Russian Federation, and water bodies of fishery importance in the Republic of Adygea, Amur and Arkhangelsk regions” (not published).

Due to the special significance of Lake Baikal as a World Heritage Site, its legal regime and status is regulated by Federal Law dated 01.05.1999 N 94-FZ “On the Protection of Lake Baikal” and the regulatory legal acts adopted in its implementation. Part 7 of the commented article refers to these regulations in terms of establishing the width of water protection zones for a given water body. According to Part 1 of Art. 2 of this Law, the Baikal natural territory includes Lake Baikal, its water protection zone adjacent to Lake Baikal, its drainage area within the territory of the Russian Federation, specially protected natural areas adjacent to Lake Baikal, as well as the territory adjacent to Lake Baikal up to 200 kilometers wide to the west and northwest of it. Nature management within the boundaries of the Baikal natural territory is carried out in accordance with zoning into a central ecological zone (the most stringent restrictions), a buffer ecological zone and an ecological zone of atmospheric influence.
———————————
NW RF. 1999. N 18. Art. 2220.

The central ecological zone includes Lake Baikal itself with its islands, its water protection zone, as well as specially protected natural areas adjacent to Lake Baikal. We were unable to find any special regulations regarding the width of the water protection zone, so they are determined according to the general rules of the article under comment, that is, 50 m. Moreover, the list of regime restrictions in the central ecological zone (including) of Lake Baikal was approved by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated 08/30/2001 N 643 “On approval of the list of activities prohibited in the central ecological zone of the Baikal natural territory” and is more stringent than provided for in the commented article. In addition, the effect in space of the restrictions provided for by the said Resolution is much wider than the effect in space of the restrictions provided for by the water protection regime of the zone.

NW RF. 2001. N 37. Art. 3687.

3.2. Coastal protective strip. Within the meaning of parts 1 and 2 of the commented article, the coastal protection zone is part of the water protection zone, within the boundaries of which additional restrictions have been introduced in comparison with the water protection zone.
Restrictions within the boundaries of the coastal protective strip are provided for in Part 17 of the commented article and include such prohibitions as the ban on:
- plowing of land;
— placement of dumps of eroded soils;
— grazing farm animals and organizing summer camps and baths for them.
In accordance with paragraph 8 of Art. 27 of the Land Code of the Russian Federation prohibits the privatization of land plots within the “limits of the coastal strip” established in accordance with the Water Code of the Russian Federation.
A summary of the rules for determining the width of coastal protective strips is presented in the table below.
3.3. Canal right of way. Today, there are building rules that establish the procedure for determining and the width of reclamation canals depending on many factors. In most cases, the actual width of the right-of-way of existing canals is established in accordance with the design documentation and varies greatly depending on the type of canal construction (cut, half-cut, embankment or half-embankment) and its capacity. For example, the norms for land allocation for reclamation canals SN 474-75 establish the procedure for determining the width for reclamation canals with a capacity of no more than 10 cubic meters. m/s.
———————————
See, for example: Land allocation standards for reclamation canals SN 474-75.

The following data can be used as rough guidelines for channels with a capacity of no more than 10 m 3/s.

Right-of-way width for reclamation canals

Reclamation channels,
passing through:
Width along the bottom, m Width of the right of way in
unlimited use, m
min max min max

embankments 0.4

As follows from the table, the width of the water protection zone of such canals will be from 17 to 45 m. If the width of the water protection coastal strip is determined according to the rules of part 11 of the commented article, its width will be from 30 to 50 m. In such a situation, the water protection coastal strip may completely coincide with the water protection zone or exceed it in size.
The width of land allocation strips for canals with a water throughput capacity of more than 10 cubic meters. m/s, canals developed by explosive methods, as well as those passing in areas prone to landslides and mudflows, and in populated areas should be determined by projects approved in the prescribed manner.
3.4. Locality. This is a populated place (settlement), the primary unit of human settlement within one built-up plot of land (city, urban-type settlement, village, etc.). A mandatory feature of a settlement is its constant use as a habitat, year-round or seasonally.

3.5. Storm drainage. Sewage refers to the disposal of domestic, industrial and waste water. A complete list of terms and definitions related to sewerage is enshrined in GOST 25150-82, but the concept of “storm sewerage” itself is not disclosed in it. To understand the content of this concept, let us turn to the Territorial Construction Standards of the Moscow Region. Within the meaning of Section 4 of these Territorial Construction Standards, storm drainage can be understood as the removal of surface runoff of three types (rain, melt and watering), formed in built-up areas as a result of precipitation and the operation of road surfaces. Such a sewerage system should also provide for the possibility of receiving drainage water from associated drainages, heating networks, general underground utility collectors, as well as uncontaminated wastewater from industrial enterprises.

3.6. Embankment. This is a fencing or protective structure along the coastline. From the point of view of hydraulic engineering, embankments are wave walls built to protect coastal ledges, including the roadbed of coastal railways and roads, from waves. Such walls are sometimes called retaining walls. Wave breakers may, if possible, be erected under the protection of the beach with a width sufficient to dampen the design waves, in combination with groins or breakwaters. When designing wave walls, the recommendations of current building codes and regulations for the design of retaining walls should be taken into account.

3.7. Parapet. The word “parapet” (French parapet, Italian parapetto) in Russian means a low solid wall running along the edge of a roof, terrace, balcony, along an embankment, bridge (as a barrier); on the crest of a dam, jetty, dam, in shipping locks. In construction, it can also denote a separate element of the specified structures. For the purposes of this article, a parapet should be understood as a fence running along the embankment.

3.8. The slope of the shore of a water body. The concept of “slope” is very widespread in technical, natural sciences, and regulations in the field of technical regulation. In geodesy they are used to describe the terrain. From the point of view of geodesy, slope (also inclination) is an indicator of the steepness of the slope, that is, “the ratio of the elevation of the terrain to the horizontal extent over which it is observed.” For example, a slope of 0.015 corresponds to a rise of 15 m per 1000 m of distance.

Soviet encyclopedic dictionary. M.: Sov. Encyclopedia, 1984. P. 1372.

When designing infrastructure facilities, information about slope angles (longitudinal and transverse) at their intended location must be included in the design documentation (clause 34 of the Regulations on the composition of sections of design documentation and requirements for their content).

Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation “On the composition of sections of project documentation and requirements for their content” dated February 16, 2008 N 87 // SZ RF. 2008. N 8. Art. 744.

The slope angle is measured during topographic work, usually using the trigonometric (geodesic) leveling method. It should be assumed that for the purposes of this article, the angle of the transverse slope must be taken into account.
3.9. A water body of particular value for fisheries. The fishery fund of inland freshwater bodies of Russia includes 22.5 million hectares of lakes, 4.3 million hectares of reservoirs, 0.96 million hectares of complex agricultural reservoirs, 142.9 thousand hectares of ponds and 523 thousand km of rivers. In addition, the Russian Federation also has a long sea coastline (about 60 thousand km).

See: paragraph 2.1 of the Strategy for the Development of Aquaculture in the Russian Federation for the period until 2020 (approved by the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation on September 10, 2007).

For the purpose of reproduction, conservation and rational use of aquatic biological resources, objects of fishery importance in accordance with paragraph 2.1.2 of the Model Rules for the Protection of Surface Waters are divided into three categories: highest, first and second.
———————————
Model rules for the protection of surface waters (approved by the State Committee for Nature Protection on February 21, 1991).

The highest category includes locations of spawning grounds, mass feeding grounds and wintering pits of especially valuable and valuable species of fish and other commercial aquatic organisms, as well as protected zones of farms of any type that carry out artificial breeding and cultivation of fish, other aquatic animals and plants.
The first category includes water bodies used for the preservation and reproduction of valuable fish species that are highly sensitive to oxygen levels.
The second category includes water bodies used for other fishing purposes.

4. Development of legislation. The establishment of water protection zones (strips) for purposes similar to those provided for in Part 2 of the commented article was provided for in Article 91 of the Water Code of the RSFSR of 1972. The content of restrictions was not provided for by this Code, since the rights to determine the procedure for their establishment and use were delegated to the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR, unless otherwise was not provided for by the legislation of the USSR. In accordance with Article 99 of the said Code, in order to maintain a favorable water regime of rivers, lakes, reservoirs, groundwater and other water bodies, to prevent water erosion of soils, siltation of reservoirs, deterioration of living conditions for aquatic animals, to reduce fluctuations in flow, etc. The establishment of water protection zones for forests was also envisaged.
The Water Code of the Russian Federation of 1995 (Article 111) differentiated the concepts of water protection zones and coastal protection zones. The content of these concepts, within the meaning of the 1995 CC of the Russian Federation, corresponds to the modern understanding, taking into account the fact that the commented Code more clearly defines the features of their legal regime. This is especially true for regime restrictions, which in the current RF CC are enshrined in law, and not in by-laws of the Government of the Russian Federation.
Changes were made to the commented article once, but affected several parts at once. Thus, in accordance with paragraph 19 of Article 1 of the Federal Law of July 14, 2008 N 118-FZ “On Amendments to the Water Code of the Russian Federation and Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation,” the following changes were made to Article 65: sentence 1 of part is set out in a new edition 3; Part 6 has been supplemented with a new proposal; in part 14 the word “settlements” is replaced by the words “settlements”; the word “accommodation” is excluded from part 16; Part 18 is presented in a new edition.
———————————
NW RF. 2008. N 29 (part 1). Art. 3418.

The essence of the changes made to Part 3 was the need to reflect the characteristics of the seas as specific water bodies. In the previous edition, the boundaries of protective zones and strips for all water bodies outside populated areas were determined along the coastline. In accordance with the current edition, the border of protection zones (strips) of the seas is measured from the line of maximum tide.
Before changes were made to Part 6, the width of the protection zones (strips) of reservoirs was fixed and amounted to 50 m. In accordance with the current edition, the width of such a zone (strip) of a reservoir must correspond to the width of similar zones for the watercourse on which the reservoir is organized. For example, if the Kuibyshev Reservoir (Volga River) before the changes had a water protection zone 50 m wide, now it should be 200 m due to part 4 of the commented article.
The change in part 14 (replacing the word “settlement” with the words “settlement”) is recognized to distinguish concepts such as “a place where people live” (settlement) from “one of the territorial units of local government” (settlement).

See: part 1 art. 2 of the Federal Law of October 6, 2003 N 131-FZ “On the General Principles of the Organization of Local Self-Government in the Russian Federation” // SZ RF. 2003. N 40. Art. 3822.

The exclusion of the word “location” from part 16 of the commented article is also connected, in our opinion, with the bringing of regulatory legal acts into compliance with the Town Planning Code of the Russian Federation dated December 29, 2004 N 190-FZ, which enshrines and systematizes the rules of territorial zoning.
———————————
NW RF. 2005. N 1 (part 1). Art. 16.

The original version of Part 18 of the commented article contained a reference to land legislation in terms of determining the procedure for fixing the boundaries of security zones (strips). In the current version, the powers to establish the procedure for fixing borders are delegated to the Government of the Russian Federation.
5. Connection with other articles. The provisions of the commented article are applied insofar as this does not contradict the rules for the protection from pollution of swamps (Article 57), glaciers and snowfields (Article 58), protection of underground water bodies (Article 59), protection of forests (Article 63), as well as the provisions of Article 49 of the commented Code regarding the protection of water bodies containing medicinal water resources, special zones (Article 34) and sanitary protection (Part 2 of Article 43) sources of drinking and household purposes (see commentary to them).
6. The procedure for establishing boundaries. In accordance with Part 18 of the commented article, the Government of the Russian Federation is vested with the authority to determine the procedure for establishing water protection zones and coastal protective strips in the area. In accordance with its powers, the Government of the Russian Federation adopted the relevant Rules.
———————————
Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of January 10, 2009 N 17 “On approval of the Rules for establishing on the ground the boundaries of water protection zones and the boundaries of coastal protective strips of water bodies” // SZ RF. 2009. N 3. Art. 415.

According to the Rules, the establishment of boundaries is aimed at informing citizens and legal entities about the special regime for carrying out economic and other activities within the boundaries of water protection zones and about additional restrictions on economic and other activities within the boundaries of coastal protective strips (clause 2).
In accordance with paragraph 4 of these Rules, establishing the boundaries of the water protection zone and the width of the coastal protective strip for each water body on the ground includes:
a) determining the width of the water protection zone and the width of the coastal protective strip;
b) description of the boundaries of the zone (strip), their coordinates and reference points;
c) displaying boundaries on cartographic materials;
d) establishing boundaries on the ground, including through the placement of special information signs.
Information on the boundaries of water protection zones and the boundaries of coastal protective strips of water bodies, including cartographic materials, is submitted to the Federal Water Resources Agency within a month for inclusion in the state water register (see commentary to Article 31).
The powers to establish boundaries on the ground are vested in government bodies.
Firstly, the Federal Agency for Water Resources in relation to all objects, the corresponding powers in respect of which were not transferred to the state authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. In particular, these are seas and (or) their parts, reservoirs, which are entirely located on the territories of the relevant constituent entities of the Russian Federation and the use of water resources of which is carried out to ensure drinking and domestic water supply to 2 or more constituent entities of the Russian Federation according to the list.
———————————

Secondly, government bodies of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation to the extent of the powers granted to them.
The specified public authorities are obliged to ensure the placement of special information signs along the entire borders of water protection zones and coastal protective strips of water bodies at characteristic points of the relief, as well as at places where water bodies intersect with roads, in recreation areas and other places of mass presence of citizens and the maintenance of these signs in in good condition (clause 6 of the Rules). Samples of special signs are approved by Order of the Ministry of Natural Resources of the Russian Federation dated August 13, 2009 N 249 “On approval of samples of special information signs to mark the boundaries of water protection zones and the boundaries of coastal protective strips of water bodies.”
———————————
BNA RF. 2009. N 43.

Land owners, landowners and land users of land plots, the land plots of which are subject to the regime of water protection zones and coastal protective strips, are obliged to ensure unhindered access for representatives of authorized government bodies in order to place special information signs on the relevant land plots and maintain them in proper condition.
———————————
Highlighted by us. From the wording of paragraph 7 of these Rules (“land plots on the lands of which there are water protection zones and coastal protective strips of water bodies”) it is assumed that the indicated zones (strips) are located on the land plots. However, the indicated zones (strips) are not physically located on the sites. Land plots on which regime restrictions apply may be part of lands of various categories with their own legal regime. The restrictions provided for in the commented article are legally established rules operating within certain boundaries, regardless of the legal regime of lands and land plots. For more details see: Krassov O.I. Land law: Textbook. M.: Yurist, 2007. P. 120 - 122.

The list of reservoirs, boundaries of water protection zones and coastal protective strips are established by the Federal Agency for Water Resources and its territorial bodies.

There are no new articles that have not entered into force.

Compare with the edition of the article dated 08/04/2018 07/24/2015 01/01/2015 07/11/2014 11/01/2013 01/01/2013 07/15/2011 07/18/2008 01/01/2007

Water protection zones are territories that are adjacent to the coastline (borders of a water body) of seas, rivers, streams, canals, lakes, reservoirs and in which a special regime for economic and other activities is established in order to prevent pollution, clogging, siltation of these water bodies and depletion their waters, as well as preserving the habitat of aquatic biological resources and other objects of flora and fauna.

Coastal protective strips are established within the boundaries of water protection zones, in the territories of which additional restrictions on economic and other activities are introduced.

Outside the territories of cities and other populated areas, the width of the water protection zone of rivers, streams, canals, lakes, reservoirs and the width of their coastal protective strip are established from the location of the corresponding coastline (the boundaries of the water body), and the width of the water protection zone of the seas and the width of their coastal protective strip - from the line of maximum tide. In the presence of centralized storm drainage systems and embankments, the boundaries of the coastal protective strips of these water bodies coincide with the parapets of the embankments; the width of the water protection zone in such territories is established from the embankment parapet.

The width of the water protection zone of rivers or streams is established from their source for rivers or streams with a length of:

1) up to ten kilometers - in the amount of fifty meters;
2) from ten to fifty kilometers - in the amount of one hundred meters;
3) from fifty kilometers or more - in the amount of two hundred meters.

For a river or stream less than ten kilometers long from source to mouth, the water protection zone coincides with the coastal protective strip. The radius of the water protection zone for the sources of a river or stream is set at fifty meters.

The width of the water protection zone of a lake, reservoir, with the exception of a lake located inside a swamp, or a lake, reservoir with a water area of less than 0.5 square kilometers, is set at fifty meters. The width of the water protection zone of a reservoir located on a watercourse is set equal to the width of the water protection zone of this watercourse.

The boundaries of the water protection zone of Lake Baikal are established in accordance with the Federal Law of May 1, 1999 N 94-FZ “On the Protection of Lake Baikal”.

The width of the sea water protection zone is five hundred meters.

The water protection zones of main or inter-farm canals coincide in width with the allotment strips of such canals.

Water protection zones for rivers and their parts placed in closed collectors are not established.

The width of the coastal protective strip is set depending on the slope of the shore of the water body and is thirty meters for a reverse or zero slope, forty meters for a slope of up to three degrees and fifty meters for a slope of three degrees or more.

For flowing and drainage lakes and corresponding watercourses located within the boundaries of swamps, the width of the coastal protective strip is set at fifty meters.

The width of the coastal protective strip of a river, lake, or reservoir that is of particularly valuable fishery importance (spawning, feeding, wintering areas for fish and other aquatic biological resources) is set at two hundred meters, regardless of the slope of the adjacent lands.

In the territories of populated areas, in the presence of centralized storm drainage systems and embankments, the boundaries of coastal protective strips coincide with the parapets of the embankments. The width of the water protection zone in such areas is established from the embankment parapet. In the absence of an embankment, the width of the water protection zone or coastal protective strip is measured from the location of the coastline (the boundary of the water body).

Within the boundaries of water protection zones the following is prohibited:

1) use of wastewater to regulate soil fertility;
2) placement of cemeteries, cattle burial grounds, production and consumption waste disposal sites, chemical, explosive, toxic, poisonous and poisonous substances, radioactive waste disposal sites;
3) implementation of aviation measures to combat pests;
4) movement and parking of vehicles (except for special vehicles), with the exception of their movement on roads and parking on roads and in specially equipped places with hard surfaces;
5) placement of gas stations, warehouses of fuel and lubricants (except for cases where gas stations, warehouses of fuel and lubricants are located in the territories of ports, shipbuilding and ship repair organizations, infrastructure of inland waterways, subject to compliance with the requirements of legislation in the field of environmental protection and of this Code), service stations used for technical inspection and repair of vehicles, washing vehicles;
6) placement of specialized storage facilities for pesticides and agrochemicals, use of pesticides and agrochemicals;
7) discharge of wastewater, including drainage water;
8) exploration and production of common mineral resources (except for cases where exploration and production of common mineral resources is carried out by subsoil users engaged in exploration and production of other types of mineral resources, within the boundaries of mining allotments allocated to them in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation on subsoil resources and (or ) geological allotments on the basis of an approved technical design in accordance with Article 19.1 of the Law of the Russian Federation of February 21, 1992 N 2395-I “On Subsoil”).

Within the boundaries of water protection zones, design, construction, reconstruction, commissioning, operation of economic and other facilities are allowed, provided that such facilities are equipped with structures that ensure the protection of water bodies from pollution, clogging, siltation and depletion of water in accordance with water legislation and legislation in the field of protection environment. The choice of the type of structure that ensures the protection of a water body from pollution, clogging, siltation and water depletion is carried out taking into account the need to comply with the standards for permissible discharges of pollutants, other substances and microorganisms established in accordance with environmental legislation. For the purposes of this article, structures that ensure the protection of water bodies from pollution, clogging, siltation and water depletion are understood as:

1) centralized drainage (sewage) systems, centralized storm drainage systems;
2) structures and systems for the removal (discharge) of wastewater into centralized drainage systems (including rain, melt, infiltration, irrigation and drainage water), if they are intended to receive such water;
3) local treatment facilities for wastewater treatment (including rain, melt, infiltration, irrigation and drainage water), ensuring their treatment based on standards established in accordance with the requirements of legislation in the field of environmental protection and this Code;
4) structures for collecting production and consumption waste, as well as structures and systems for disposal (discharge) of wastewater (including rain, melt, infiltration, irrigation and drainage water) into receivers made of waterproof materials.

In relation to the territories where citizens conduct gardening or vegetable gardening for their own needs, located within the boundaries of water protection zones and not equipped with wastewater treatment facilities, until they are equipped with such facilities and (or) connected to the systems specified in paragraph 1 of part 16 of this article, it is allowed the use of receivers made of waterproof materials that prevent the entry of pollutants, other substances and microorganisms into the environment.

Within the boundaries of coastal protective strips, along with the restrictions established by part 15 of this article, the following are prohibited:

1) plowing of land;
2) placement of dumps of eroded soils;
3) grazing farm animals and organizing summer camps and baths for them.

The establishment of the boundaries of water protection zones and the boundaries of coastal protective strips of water bodies, including marking on the ground by means of special information signs, is carried out in the manner established by the Government of the Russian Federation.

The Government of the Russian Federation decides: To approve the attached Rules for establishing water protection boundaries on the ground

Water protection zones And coastal protective strips– these terms have been on everyone’s lips lately. And some people have already found themselves in an unpleasant situation related to these concepts. So let's finally figure out what it is.

Water protection zones and coastal protective strips of water bodies - these terms were introduced by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of November 23, 1996 N 1404 “On approval of the regulations on water protection zones of water bodies and their coastal protective strips.” The boundaries of zones and strips, modes of their use, responsibility for their violations are determined by decisions of specific constituent entities of the Russian Federation, on whose territory these water bodies are located.

Water protection zones of water bodies

Water protection zone water body - the territory adjacent to the water body. A special regime for its use and conduct of economic and other activities is determined on this territory. By and large, this concept is not needed for an amateur fisherman. But, for general development, so to speak, in general terms, I’ll tell you about it.

The size of the water protection zone is determined depending on the type of water body. For this size is determined depending on the length of the river and the area in which it flows. It is different for lowland and mountain rivers. In addition, for rivers that experience increased anthropogenic impact, the size of this zone is determined.

For lakes and reservoirs, the size of the water protection zone is determined depending on the area and location of the object. And, just like for rivers, depending on their significance and the degree of influence of anthropogenic impact on them.

As an example, I will give several values. For a river in the Kemerovo region, the size of the water protection zone is determined based on its economic, drinking and recreational value of 1000 meters. For mountain rivers and mountain sections of rivers – 300 meters. For rivers whose length is from 10 to 50 kilometers - 200 meters, from 50 to 200 kilometers - 300 meters, more than 200 kilometers - 400 m. For the Aba River (a tributary of the Tom), which has undergone significant anthropogenic impact, the size of the water protection zone is determined to be 500 meters.

For the Belovskoye Reservoir, the size of the water protection zone is determined to be 1000 meters. For the Kara-Chumysh reservoir this size is 4 kilometers, as well as for Lake Bolshoi Berchikul. For other lakes and reservoirs, the size of water protection zones is determined depending on the area of the water area. With a surface area of up to 2 square kilometers, the size of the water protection zone is determined to be 300 meters; for more than 2 square kilometers, the water protection zone is 500 meters.

In water protection zones, the use of aviation for pollination of fields and forests, the use of pesticides and mineral fertilizers, and their storage are prohibited. It is prohibited to place warehouses for fuel and lubricants and coal, ash and slag waste and liquid waste. The placement of livestock farms, cattle burial grounds, cemeteries, burial and storage of household, industrial and agricultural waste is prohibited. Mining, excavation and other work is prohibited.

In water protection zones, washing, repairing and refueling vehicles, as well as parking for vehicles, is prohibited. It is prohibited to place gardens and summer cottages where the width of water protection zones is less than 100 meters and the steepness of the slopes is more than 3 degrees. Logging in main use forests is prohibited. The construction, reconstruction of buildings and structures, communications without the approval of a specially authorized state body for managing the use and protection of water resources is prohibited.

Coastal shelterbelts

Coastal shelterbelts– these are territories directly adjacent to a water body. This is where the amateur fisherman needs to be more careful. And this is connected not with the fisherman himself, but with his transport. Within the boundaries of coastal protective strips, even more stringent restrictions apply.

In coastal protective strips, everything that was prohibited for water protection zones is prohibited. In addition, special prohibitions are added. In coastal protective zones prohibited movement of all vehicles , with the exception of special purpose vehicles. It is prohibited to plow the land, store dumps of eroded soil, organize summer livestock camps and grazing, and establish seasonal stationary tent camps. The allocation of garden plots and plots for individual construction is prohibited.

The most important prohibition for fishermen is the prohibition of vehicle movement within the boundaries of coastal protective strips. If you violate this prohibition, there is a chance of running into a very significant fine.

The boundaries of coastal protective strips are determined, as I wrote above, by decisions of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. For example, for the Kemerovo region, the size of coastal protective strips is shown in the table below.

Types of land adjacent to a water body	The width of the coastal protective strip in meters, with the slope of the slopes of the territories adjacent to it
	reverse and zero	up to 3 degrees	more than 3 degrees
Arable land	15-30	30-55	55-100
Meadows and hayfields	15-25	25-35	35-50
Forests, bushes	35	35-50	55-100

In coastal protective strips, plots of land are provided for the location of water supply, recreation, fishing and hunting facilities, hydraulic engineering and port structures upon receipt of water use licenses.

Owners of lands and objects located in water protection zones and coastal protective strips must comply with the established regime for their use. Persons who violate this regime are liable in accordance with current legislation.
