development areas of 2 km and greater noise mitigation activities can provide<br />

noise reduction by 70 dB and greater and will meet both Russian sanitary<br />

standards and the World Bank requirements.<br />

5.2.1.5 Impacts on Aquatic and Terrestrial Biota<br />

Aquatic biota. Water quality of the Laba river will not decrease because disposed<br />

waste shall be treated and meet the required specifications. Maximum permissible<br />

disposal requirements to the Laba river were reviewed and approved by the<br />

Territory committee on conservation of environment.<br />

The subchannel water intake of the power plant will not cause harmful impact on<br />

aquatic biota because water discharge does not exceed replenishment of the<br />

aquifer.<br />

River crossings by transmission lines will not cause negative impact on fish<br />

migrations.<br />

Terrestrial biota. Air quality shall be within MPC and shall have no negative<br />

impact on animals.<br />

Noise impact on animals will be insignificant, because there are no habitats of wild<br />

animals and game within the power plant site. Certain disturbance of domestic<br />

animals and small rodents will occur during their foraging close to the power<br />

plant.<br />

Human impact on environment shall not have a significant increase: population of<br />

Mostovskoy - 22 thousand people, number of the power plant employees - 183<br />

people.<br />

Appendix 25 is indicative of environmental impacts of the power plant in the<br />

<strong>Krasnodar</strong> Territory.<br />

Vegetation. Rare and endangered plants can be found within the Kuban Region.<br />

Such plants have been described by Kuban botanists:<br />

- Jurinea (Goryachij Klyuch, Majkop, Yaroslavskaya settlement, Laba r. basin.<br />

Recommended for local protection)<br />

- Lousewort (Balysh, Bolshoj Bambak, Laba r. basin. Recommended for local<br />
