DISCUSSIONS OF A PUBLIC HEARING OF THE KRASNODAR GRES POWER PLANT PROJECT 1 2/26/95 Mostovskoy Subject: Assessment of Environmental Impact of the Krasnodar GRES Power Plant Project The public hearing was opened with an introductory address made by Mr V. Rylenko, Head of Mostovskoy District Administration, who subsequently gave the floor to Mr Yu. Ponomarenko, a representative of the Directorate of the Krasnodar Power Plant. Mr Ponomarenko made a presentation to the assembled public of the Mostovskoy District, giving a brief summary of engineering and process options proposed in the Feasibility Study prepared by RoTEP for a combined cycle 1350 MW power plant, the most efficient and environmentally friendly. Mr Oleg Yeschenko of KSAU , a Leading Developer of the Environmental Impact Assessment for the Krasnodar GRES Project, presented the results of a scientific study of potential environmental impacts. The study conducted by the KSAU team to meet the World Bank requirements and presented at the public hearings indicates that all potentia impacts will be contained within regulatory limits. Mr Chegasov, a Burns and Roe representative, made a report on similar power plants existing or under construction in Russia or abroad. In conjunction with RAO EES Rossii and Kubanenergo, Burns and Roe is preparing a package of support documentation for a project loan evaluation by the World Bank to finance the Krasnodar Power Plant Project. The EIA and the public hearings are critical components thereof. Questions discussed: Question: Mr I. Zabaznov. What potential benefits will be received by the local budget as a result of the construction and operation of the Krasnodar GRES Power Plant? Answer: Mr G. Chegasov. It is premature to raise this issue before Kuban GRES is established. Don't count the chicken before they are hatched. But in any event, all local and federal taxes shall be paid. Question. Mr V. Yarovenko. What are the emission levels? Chemical composition? Wind direction? PAGE 1 1-24

Answer: Mr 0. Yeschenko. The plant will use natural gas as both the primary and the backup fuel. Therefore, ground emission concentrations inclusive of background levels will be 1.2 to 1.3 times below sanitary standards even under the most adverse weather conditions. Main pollutants will be NOx, SO2 and CO in infinitesimal quantities. Question: N. Scherbakov. How does the design address the issues of seismic safety? Compensation payments? Answer: Mr 0. Eschenko. All equipment and buildings are designed to withstand an earthquake 7 points on the Richter scale. This baseline design value was developed as a result of detailed microseismic study. Statute law makes provisions for impostion of environmental damages for all economic activities. Question: Mr N. Alexeev. What are the major fuel sources for the power plant? Answer: L. Yudovsky. The plant will use fuel gas as the primary and backup fuel. The gas will be received from the gas pipeline system operated by Kubangasprom. We have developed technical requirements for gas supply for the Krasndar GRES Plant. Diesel fuel will be used as emergency fuel but at most 3 days in a row or 8 days a year. Question. A. Gudyma. How is it planned to address the problem of providing a reliable water supply to the Mostovskoy District? Is it planned to complete the construction of sanitary treatment facilities in Mostovskoy? Answer: L. Yudovsky. A water field for 20000 cubic meters has been discovered in Psebay. The project for a water pipeline to be built from Psebay to Mostovskoy is about to be finalized, including residential centers along the route, The problem will be solved given financing. Question: A. Parkomenko. What impact mitigation measures are planned for Mostovs koy? Answer: 0. Eschenko. The operation of the plant will not lead to any significant increase in atmospheric pollution; the background concentration will be two times below the regulatory limits. 80% of air pollution in Mostovskoy is created by traffic and boiler houses burning liquid and solid fuel. A bypass circle motorway to be built will redirect the traffic around Mostovskoy, boiler houses using natural gas will improve rather than aggravate air pollution. Question: M. Alexeyev. Are there plants similar to the Mostovskoy in Russia? Answer: L. Yudovsky. Yes, a similar plant, the North Eastern, is under construction in St. Petersburg. The project is a year ahead of the Mostovskoy. PAGE 1 1-25 4
