udget. All correspondence from and to contractors will be by the project manager only. The project management team will be responsible for review of design, engineering, procurement specifications submitted by the contractor for Owner's review and oversee construction to ensure that engineering, construction, and procurement are in compliance with the contract documents, applicable codes and standards, local and federal government regulations and conditions of environmental permits. The project management team will interface with the utility, the gas company, the oil supply company, the water supply company, the local government and the environmental authorities. During the operation phase of the project Kuban GRES will be structured to take over from the project development organization at the close of construction and to transition smoothly into an organization representative of power utility operations. Prior to plant startup, and before staffing is in place, programs must be established to provide the necessary training to all operating, maintenance, technical, and clerical employees Detailed training programs must be developed to insure all members of the various crafts are tested to be competent in their respective work areas. These should include: Operator Training Maintenance Training - Electrical - Mechanical - Welding - Instruments and Controls Chemistry Equipment Operators Industrial Safety Management Information Systems Inventory Control Environmental Control Fuel Handling PAGE 1-14 2k

@ Training facilities should be installed at an early stage in construction to provide for adequate training time of personnel prior to startup. 1 .8 Gas Pipeline A separate Environmental Assessment (EA) Report of the gas pipeline has been prepared. The gas pipeline portion of the overall project is being treated as a separate project because the pipeline will be constructed and owned by a different corporate entity than the Krasnodar GRES. The pipeline EA presents pipeline routing alternatives and associated mitigation recommendations to be incorporated into the environmental design specifications for the pipeline project once a route has been selected. The pipeline EA makes a preliminary recommendation of pipeline routing along the river terraces that flank the west side of the Laba River valley and along the Khodz River valley, through the Adygey Autonomous area and the Mostovskoy District for a total length of approximately 41 kilometers. The specific conclusions and recommendations of the gas pipeline EA are: 1) Based on information provided by the Russian counterparts, it appears that the recommended routing is the most appropriate from an environmental and technical perspective. It is the shortest of the four routes; involves only one major river crossing, over the smaller of the region's two major rivers; passes through more stable terrain which appears to be less prone to landslides and gully erosion than the other options; and involves less impact on valley bottom soils than other routing alternatives. 2) This recommendation has been given because not enough information on sociocultural impacts of this route was available during the preparation of the pipeline EA. The gas pipeline was discussed during the 26 December 1995 Public Hearing. One attendee at the Public Hearing with administrative ties to a village along the recommended pipeline route requested a tie-in for his village to the gas pipeline. No other pipeline issues were raised at the Public Hearing. 3) Mitigation measures that have been recommended are aimed at protecting valuable agriculture soils; minimizing surface soil erosion and resulting degradation of water quality for human consumption and fish habitat; protecting remnant wildlife habitat within the area; and minimizing disruption and disturbance to local community life.
