Business Operators Rectified Violations and Suspensions Have Been Lifted. EPMIB

As a result of oversight activities by the Environmental Protection and Mining Inspection Body of the Republic of Armenia, several business operators have rectified identified violations and obtained the necessary permits.

In November 2025, the operation of the crushing-sorting plant of “Zepyur-Yerek” LLC at the lithoid pumice quarry in Jraber, Kotayk Region, was suspended due to the lack of a permit for harmful emissions into the atmosphere.

In July 2025, the unauthorized use of a deep well at the gas filling station of “Tnkaran” LLC in Vagharshapat, Armavir Region, was suspended. In December, the operation of the concrete plant of “Gevorg Andreasian” individual enterprise in Ejmiatsin, producing concrete and pumice blocks, was also suspended due to missing permits.

In Hayravank, Gegharkunik Region, an unauthorized water extraction was detected at a car wash located on a leased plot within the specially protected area of “Sevan National Park”. In August 2025, the operation of the deep well at the car wash, owned by A.M., was suspended for lack of permit.

All business operators have since obtained the required permits. Decisions to lift the suspensions have been issued.
