Abstract. The article discusses the problems of identifying and eliminating objects of accumulated environmental damage in the Russian Federation. In the 20th century, the Soviet Union paid almost no attention to the management of production and consumption waste. This has led to widespread accumulation of waste in dumps, tailings dumps, sludge reservoirs, sludge pads and other industrial facilities. The situation began to change in the early 90s, when, under the auspices of the State Committee for Ecology of the Russian Federation, comprehensive programs for the management of production and consumption waste began to be developed in some regions of the country. But after the liquidation of the State Committee for Ecology of the Russian Federation in 2000, this work practically stopped. We returned to this issue only in the 2000s, when the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 455 of April 13, 2017 approved the Rules for maintaining the State Register of Objects of Accumulated Environmental Damage. The analysis showed that at the beginning of 2023, 683 objects were included in the register of the Russian Federation. Of these, only 13,3 % were liquidated.

The largest number of objects included in the register was in the Siberian Federal District — 185, but not a single object in this district was liquidated. The largest number of liquidated objects, both in physical quantity and in percentage, was in the North Caucasian Federal District — 51 objects (56,0 % of the total number of liquidated objects and 62,2 % of those identified in this district).

It has been suggested that it is possible that the procedure for registration of objects for inclusion in the register is quite complicated, which does not allow it to be carried out quickly enough. There is also no uniform nomenclature in the names of objects, which significantly complicates the analysis of the current situation.
