Krasnodar GRES Project Volume I11 Environmental Assessment

Having reviewed major project technologies proposed in design documentation
@ developed for the Krasnodar GRES Project by the General Designer (ROTEPI in
conjunction with materials on environmental impact assessment of the plant's
construction and operation (developed by KSAU), the meeting of representatives
of Mostovskoy District public movements and organizations hereby emphasizes
the following:
Based on earlier specialist scientific research, field studies, expeditions, monitoring
data and statistics, as well as project studies conducted independently by the
Kuban State Agricultural University, a forecast of the Krasnodar GRES project
environmental impact was prepared, the conclusion was reached that it is
acceptable from the environmental standpoint for the said power plant to be
constructed, and recommendations for environmentally-safe operation were
developed.
The Krasnodar GRES construction feasibility study was developed in compliance
with technological and construction design standards.
All technological, technical, design and construction options for plant main and
auxiliary buildings and structures take into account local (regional) environmental
conditions.
The design takes into account the following:
Status of ecosystems, their stability in probable technogenic impacts and
self-recovery potential;
Prospects for social and economic development in the region;
historical, cultural and ethnic interests of the local population.
In this connection, the meeting of Mostovskoy District representatives of public
movements and organizations believes that it is acceptable that a thermal power
plant for 1350 MW, the Krasnodar GRES Plant, be constructed on a site located
on the left bank of the Laba River near the Mostovskoy Settlement.
Further design and cost documentation shall be developed in line with
technological and environmental options proposed in the Krasnodar GRES FS and
EIA as reviewed by this meeting.
