Krasnodar GRES Project Volume I11 Environmental Assessment

during oil transportation. The other 50 % of accidents occur as railroad accidents,
oil and gas pipeline accidents and accidents associated with operation of
treatment plants below standards. No accidents at energy facilities of the Territory
were registered. The proposed power plant shall be a highly reliable modern
facility and, despite the lack of data on accidents for similar facilities, this EIA
contains a scenario of possible environmental impacts caused by accidents.
With uncertainty about the sources of impact and their intensity, scenarios of
accidents with reasonable impacts only are presented in this report. Faults of the
personnel, breakage, subversive activities, natural disasters (earthquakes) as well
as combinations of the causes mentioned may lead to two major accidents:
All facilities of the power plant are on fire. All facilities containing volatile
compounds have leakage. All volatile compounds proliferate into the
atmosphere. The power plant personnel should follow the emergency
response plan procedures which are currently being developed for the
Krasnodar GRES facility. Since there are no radioactive or poisonous
substances at the power plant facilities and since populated areas are
located 5 km (Mostovskoy village) and 2 km (Perepravnaya village) from the
plant, the resident population of Mostovskoy and Perepravnaya shall not
subject to dangerous impacts. Impacts in the form of smoke, fire and noise
shall be temporary and shall be terminated with cessation of the fire. The
air will be temporarily polluted by the products of combustion.
Administrations of both Mostovskoy and Perepravnaya should take
measures to prevent housing construction in the direction of the power
plant and adopt corresponding resolutions. Consequently, the development
plan of Mostovskoy village needs to be created with depiction of an
industrial zone and the power plant; the established Russian and district
regulations should be observed.
All facilities of the power plant containing liquid agents have leakage, liquid
agents spill on land and proliferate into water reservoirs and groundwater.
The power plant personnel should follow the emergency response plan
procedures. There will be no direct impact on the local population. There
will be a residual impact in the form of soil pollution, groundwater pollution,
Kurchidskaya gully pollution, Khodz river pollution and Laba river pollution.
In accordance with the project description pollution sources and pollution
extent that were accounted for are described in Table 5.13 and Appendix
26.
