Topical issues of environmental legal regulation of federal resorts

Currently, the ecological and legal regime of resorts of federal significance is not clearly defined. Many elements of the ecological and legal regime, such as the regime of districts of sanitary (mining and sanitary) protection of resorts of federal significance, responsibility for violation of such a regime, are not sufficiently effective. On the one hand, the legislator is gradually pursuing the idea of resorts as centers of tourism and recreation, on the other hand, the current requirements do not allow us to talk about the preservation of natural healing resources of resorts. At the same time, an increase in the anthropogenic load on resorts of federal significance can lead to degradation of natural healing resources and environmental degradation in the territories of resorts of federal significance. The insufficient level of material and technical equipment of resorts of federal significance negatively affects the quality of natural healing resources, the sources of which are subject to pollution and depletion.
