Recently, all kinds of real estate objects have been increasingly appearing near the banks of rivers, reservoirs and other bodies of water, the construction of most of which does not meet the basic requirements of Russian legislation. That is why many Russians are interested in the question of the possibility of locating objects in coastal zones. According to the legislation, any of our compatriots has the right not only to acquire land plots in the water protection zone, but also to build them up at their own discretion, while observing all the restrictions established by the state and not violating the law.

What is a water protection zone?

According to Article No. 65 of the Water Code of the Russian Federation, a water protection zone is a territory that is directly adjacent to the coastline of the water area of ​​​​a water body, where a special regime of activity (economic or any other) is established, as well as the use and protection of natural resources in order to prevent their malicious or accidental pollution and preservation of existing objects of flora and fauna of these water bodies.

Where can you start building?

That is why, before starting construction, you should clearly understand for yourself whether this can be done in water protection zones and what the consequences may be if such real estate is built with significant violations of the law. After all, the situation may be such that it will be completely impossible to issue a building permit. Or even worse: you have to demolish the newly built house.

Before talking about construction restrictions, it is necessary to understand exactly where construction should not be started under any circumstances. In no way should this be done at the very edge of the reservoir. The situation is such that, according to the law, any construction work at a distance of less than 20 meters from the coast is completely prohibited. Moreover, limiting the free access of citizens to the coastal territory by erected fences and other barriers can lead to very unpleasant consequences.

Other restrictions on construction within water protection zones.

Outside the boundaries of cities and villages, the width of the water protection zone of reservoirs, as well as the width of their coastal protective strip, should be established only depending on the coastline approved by law.

Within the water protection zones of reservoirs, coastal protective strips are introduced, in the place of which additional restrictions are placed on various types of activities.
The width of the water protection zone of rivers or streams is entered depending on their source length:

  • up to 10 km - in the amount of fifty meters;
  • from 10 to 50 km -100 m;
  • from 50 km and more -200 m.

The width of the coastal protective strip near lakes and various reservoirs, the area of ​​which is not more than 0.5 square km, will be 50 meters. It should be noted that the width of such zones near the seas must be 500 meters, which is significantly greater than that of any other natural and artificial reservoirs.

For rivers and other water bodies, the length of which is slightly less than 10 km, the water protection zone completely coincides with the coastal protective strip. At the same time, the radius of this zone for the sources of rivers and streams should be set at a size of 50 meters.

In addition, within the water protection zones it is strictly prohibited:

  • use of wastewater to regulate soil fertility;
  • place cemeteries, places where waste from the consumption of industrial and economic activities can be stored;
  • plowing land, placing dumps of eroded soils, as well as organizing pastures for animals;
  • traffic and parking of vehicles, including forced.

Within the boundaries of water protection zones, it is allowed and even allowed to design, build, reconstruct, repair, operate economic and other facilities in the case of equipping these facilities with buildings that can ensure the protection of rivers, reservoirs, etc. from water pollution and depletion in full compliance with water legislation and environmental laws.

16. 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 facilities from pollution, clogging, silting and depletion of water in accordance with water legislation and legislation in the field of environmental protection. The choice of the type of structure that ensures the protection of a water body from pollution, clogging, silting and depletion of water 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 protection legislation. For the purposes of this article, structures that ensure the protection of water bodies from pollution, clogging, silting and depletion of water are understood to mean:

1) centralized water disposal systems (sewerage), centralized storm water disposal systems;

Although water protection zones and coastal strips are being created, this does not mean at all that their lands cannot be used for summer cottage construction, and. in the water protection zone, you can also buy, engage in their privatization and lease. In addition, they can be built up, but you just have to comply with all restrictions and not violate the laws.
In accordance with Article 65 of the Water Code of the Russian Federation, a territory adjacent to the coastline of seas, lakes, canals, etc., on which a special regime of economic and any other activity is established, in connection with the prevention of pollution, clogging of these waters, will be considered a water protection zone , as well as the preservation of all objects of the animal and plant world. Coastal protective strips should be established, where restrictions on economic and any other activities are introduced. Outside cities and towns, the coastline will be considered the boundary. In the case of a storm drain or embankment, the boundary will follow the parapet.
The length of the water protection zone affects the width of the water protection zone. Suppose if the stream is less than 10 km, then the water protection zone will be 50 meters, and if the river is more than 50 km long, then 200 meters. If the length is less than 10 km, then the water protection zone will coincide with the coastal protective strip. The radius of the water protection zone at the source is 50 meters. If a lake or reservoir has a water area of ​​​​no more than 0.5 square meters, then the width of the water protection zone will be 50 meters. Near the sea, the width of the water protection zone will be 500 meters. The width of the coastal protective strip varies depending on the slope of the coast. In the case of a reverse or zero slope - 30 meters, a slope of up to three degrees - 40 meters, a slope of more than three degrees - 50 meters. If the reservoir has a special fishery value, then the width of the protective strip is 200 meters. On the territory of water protection zones, it is possible to design and build economic or other facilities, but only if they are equipped with structures that will ensure protection from pollution, clogging and depletion of water.
It is impossible to use sewage for soil fertilization within the boundaries of water protection zones. It is also forbidden to place cemeteries, places of burial of industrial waste, cattle burial grounds. It is forbidden to use aerial measures to control pests and diseases in plants. It is also not allowed to organize the movement and parking of vehicles. It is only possible to drive on roads in specially equipped places that have a hard surface.
It is also forbidden to plow the land, place dumps of eroded soils, graze animals and organize summer camps for them.
No matter how great the temptation to use the coastline for personal needs, it is strictly forbidden to do so. Any area located at a distance of 20 m from the water is a common area. Access to them cannot be restricted, which is clearly regulated by Article 6 of the Water Code of the Russian Federation. Everything that is further than this twenty-meter section can be rented in accordance with articles 30-32.34 of the Land Code of the Russian Federation.
Reservoirs are not real estate objects and they cannot be taken as land in or ownership. But if the reservoir is located inside a privately owned site, then it automatically becomes yours. But in accordance with Article 8 of the Water Code of the Russian Federation, it can only be a pond or a flooded quarry, but not a lake. It will not work to divide such a plot, and if the plot is sold, then the reservoir will become the property of the new owner. There is no need to separate reservoirs.
