"To approve the attached composition of the government commission for the protection of Lake Baikal," the document says.

The head of the Ministry of Natural Resources Dmitry Kobylkin and the head of Rosprirodnadzor Svetlana Radionova became the deputy chairmen of the commission.

In July, Baikal got fuel from a ship banked due to a storm.

The consequences of the spill are liquidated using absorbents that decompose oil products, which do not require additional disposal.
