Krasnodar GRES Project Volume I11 Environmental Assessment

Water pollution at the water intake
The proposed water intake shall be located on the right bank of the Malaya Laba
river 100 m from the rivers edge as a lined series 4 to 5 km long, upstream from
the southern part of Andryuki which is approximately 33 km from the Krasnodar
GRES site.
Boundaries of sanitary protection zone (SPZ) belts were delineated by

The second belt of the SPZ shall include river bordering strips 750 m wide from
the river edge of the summer-fall valley along the entire length of the river from
the water intake to the river source.
The third belt of the SPZ is as long as the second belt, the distance between side
boundaries of the belt shall be 3 km, according to paragraph 10.1 1 of the BC
2.04.02-84.
Study of the sanitary protection zone (SPZ, 300 m wide) of the Laba river in the
