Shuvalovsky's quarry. Housing estate "Shuvalovsky quarry"

Here, as the reviews say, quite a lot of small roach and perch. Shuvalov's quarry (the map is presented in the article), according to the observations of fishermen, is characterized by an interesting relief - the presence of depth changes from 2 to 4 m, separated from each other horizontally by 10-20 meters distance. There are also "banks" with a depth of up to 50 cm. In the winter, Shuvalovsky is usually empty. At this time, almost nothing is caught here. But some people say that the first ice can be quite good biting. And in April, when the shores already appear on the coast, Shuvalovsky's quarry attracts lovers to pamper themselves with a small fry.

Geography

Shuvalovsky's quarry is formed by a dam on the Kamenka River flowing from the Suzdal Lakes and flowing into the Lakhtinsky spill. The valley of Kamenka is famous for the fact that sand has been actively extracted in it for a long time. As a result of the quarry Shuvalovsky took a bizarre outline and became like a lake, whose green capes and islands among the high sandy hills attracted the surrounding inhabitants, who loved swimming here, fishing and picnicking.

History

Once a firm was given a promise to equip the Shuvalovsky quarry and create a recreation area here. On the southern bank, an armada of equipment was piled up, a pine forest was cut down, sand was taken out by thousands of dump trucks. The earth was deeply dug - up to the clay itself. The firm suddenly stopped work on surprisingly local residents and fishermen from St. Petersburg. The Shuvalov quarry was a pit filled with dirty water. Then these spaces turned into a huge dump. But over time the outlines of the lake have changed. Today the quarry, though slowly, but still comes to life.

Our days

On the quarry, which is located at the address: St. Petersburg, Primorsky district, st. Reserve, 55, as the authors of the reviews suggest, you can drive through Kolomyagi or Parachute. The second way is more difficult - here there is a road construction and it will be necessary to go on gravel and sand. On the street. The reserve is laid fresh asphalt, there are usually few cars, around the forest and nearby there is a pond. Many consider the quarry as a pleasant place for recreation, which, moreover, is not far away.

Local and fishermen say that in winter the ice here is very weak, as keys are being beaten from the bottom of the quarry. Over them formed polynyas, which are sprinkled with snow. But, despite the danger, in these places often gather fans of drift winter pokatushek. It happens that the car goes under the ice. In addition, various driving schools conduct winter driving courses here, without coordinating their activities with the district administration of the city. They bring with them tires that do not clean after the end of classes. In the spring, all the garbage left after the stay of winter quarry visitors, safely drowns in the lake, cluttering its bottom.

M, as well as overhaul existing, laying modern engineering networks, installation of new high-tech equipment.

Ecology

Many authors of the reviews write about the fact that it hurts to see the garbage dumps that clutter the quarry. Departures here, according to the testimony of tourists, are made to glory. On the career you can take a walk and catch a fish. But depress piles of debris on the banks. Tidy up there, reflect the authors of the reviews, would have turned out to be no worse than any park.

Enthusiasts tried to raise a question about the contamination of the Shuvalov quarry, but from everywhere they received only unsubscribes. Apparently, the powers that be have no interest in him. Bloggers and environmental organizations urge guests to take care of the nature with respect, take their garbage with them and throw it away on authorized dumps. If everyone were sympathetic to this call, the defenders of the quarry could avoid the unpleasant need to rest next door to a garbage dump.
