Region and occupies a territory of the Ryuevyalinniemi Peninsula and adjacent waters of Bolshaya
Pihtovaya Bay.
Bolshaya Pihtovaya Bay creates a natural cover for vessel mooring. The global direction of
Bolshaya Pihtovaya Bay is SE-NW.
The Terminal construction is planned to be directly at a passage into Vyisotsk port at 800 m to
the north from Terminal RPK-Vyisotsk LUKOYL-II.
In the east there is the automobile road from highroad Saint Petersburg - Primorsk - Vyborg to
Vyisotsk and rail track, which approaches close to Terminal RPK-Vyisotsk LUKOYL-II. The
nearest railway station Popovo is located about 8 km to the east from the site.
Vyisotsk is located in the distance of 1930 m from the single apartment block being the nearest
populated locality and 2470 m from the settlement of Pihtovoe.
The Terminal location considering sanitary protection zones of neighboring enterprises in the
territory of municipal formation Vyisotskoe town is presented in Figure 1.1.
Fairway No. 6 running to Vyisotsk port passes halfway in the distance of 700 m from the beach.
The coast in the assumed construction locality is wooded, trees and bushes approach to the
water line. The beach is restricted within 5-15 m. Ground coats of the beach are composed of sands,
gravels, pebbles, stones, and boulders.
The site territory of future construction is grass-covered. A rugged topography falling to the
aquatory is changed here and there as a result of construction works. Elevations are changed from
0.0 m to 11.0 m with decreasing to the aquatory.
The aquatory bottom represents seawater terraced plain, boulders are also observed on its
surface. Surface ground coats of the bottom in the coastal area are presented with sands, gravels,
pebbles and stones, the sludge appears at a depth of more than 7-9 metres.
The projected hydrotechnical constructions are assumed to be placed in the shore, where 6meters isobath passes at 30-50 m and 10-meters isobath at 100-130 from the shore.
A land plot of approximate square 50 ha is necessary for the terminal construction taking into
account advanced enlarging. The chosen land plot at the Ryuevyalinniemi Peninsula at Vyisotsk port
allows placing the whole Terminal with required infrastructure.

Each several processing line of capacity of 330 thousand tonns of LNG annually consists of the
following elements:
Gas suction and measurement unit
Gas suction and measurement unit is intended for:
pressure control of feed gas directed to the processing units and protection from excess of
safe working pressure;
gas separation to separate fluids and mechanical impurities;
flow measurement of feed gas directed to the processing units.
Gas receiver and measurement unit consists of parallel measuring lines, each several includes
feed gas separator, flow measurement and pressure control lines.
Mercury removal unit
Element mercury in the certain conditions can produce the prompt corrosion or increase the
frangibility of aluminium equipment such as coil wound exchangers.
In addition, mercury creates compounds with exchanger material, which essentially weaken the
exchanger work. The mercury component is required to be disengaged from gas flow up to 10 nanog/m3. Mercury is removed from feel gas in a single motionless mercury adsorbent vessel. The
adsorbent vessel is filled with absorbent carbon layer.
Acid gas removal unit
This unit is designed for acid gas to be removed from natural gas. Acid gas mainly consists of
2, H2S traces and sulfur-containing additions.
To decrease the probability of pipes freezing and blocking in the liquefaction unit it is
necessary to remove 2 from natural gas. H2S and sulfur-containing additions result in active
corrosion of LNG Facility equipment.
Acid gas removal technology is based on BASF patent-protected technology of amine
treatment, which uses patented (activated methyl diethanolamine) as absorbent.
When having removed solid and liquid particles in the inlet separator and mercury impurities,
feed gas enters the amine treatment unit where it contacts with absorbent in contraflow. Saturated
methyl diethanolamine (absorbent) is regenerated in the separate recovery column. Saturated acid gas
flow is directed to the acid gas flare and treated gas is fed to the feed gas drying unit.
Feed gas drying unit
Water is removed from feed gas coming out from acid gas removal unit in the feed gas drying
unit.
Gas is dried to prevent the hydrate formation in the gas liquefaction unit. The hydrate
formation can result in blockage of processing units and equipment. Gas drying unit allows to dry gas
up to water content less than 1 mln / 1 (mol.).
The moisture-saturated feed gas is sent to molecular sieve drier (adsorbers) from acid gas
removal unit. There are tree adsorbers in the gas drying unit. These adsorbers operates in the periodic
mode. Drying is carried out in two parallel adsorbers. The third adsorber operates in the regeneration
mode.
Water resorbed during regeneration is removed in the gas separator. To regenerate the
absorbent, a part of dried gas about 7 % is used Regeneration gas coming out of adsorber is subject to
the repeated compression and return to feed gas flow.
Gas liquefaction unit including mixed refrigerant compressor
Leaving the gas drying unit, the treated and dry natural gas under pressure of 3.7 5.4 MPa
and temperature of 13 enters the liquefaction unit.
The liquified gas production process is developed by company Linde AG under trade mark
LIMUM - the mixed refrigerant cycle (MRC) consisting of three refrigeration cycles.

precooling using refrigerant with nitrogen, ethylene, butane and methane taken from feed
gas;
. .
. .
liquefaction using refrigerant with propane, ethylene, and methane;

supercooling using refrigerant with ethylene, methane, and nitrogen.
As the result the natural gas is cooled to temperature of minus 160 , pressure of 5.5 MPa.
Then LNG pressure is decreased up to 0.12 P and temperature up to 164 at the stage of
throttling.
Then the mixed refrigerant is boiled off and returns to cooling cycle at the compressor input.
The liquefied natural gas is pumped to LNG storage tank for further transportation to tankersgas carriers or road tanks.
Refrigerant fractionating and refilling unit
The fractionating unit is designed for decompounding the natural gas to its components to
provide for sufficient amount of methane, ethylene, and propane for cooling mixtures of liquefying
cycles.
Rectification is used for fractionation. Ethylene and precool mixed refrigerant obtained when
fractionating are directed to the refrigerant storage reservoir.
Nitrogen removal unit
Nitrogen and others inert gases, which essentially reduce the boiling temperature and therefore
result in cost escalation of energy for LNG production, are disengaged out of natural gas during
liquefaction process at low temperatures. If necessary, at high content of nitrogen in natural gas, the
nitrogen removal unit is provided.
Nitrogen is removed up to concentration less than 1 mole %. Gaseous nitrogen is discharged to
atmosphere.
Condensate stabilisation unit
The condensate stabilisation unit is designed especially for abstraction of higher hydrocarbons
from natural gas of main pipeline to recovery required gas composition before liquidizing. Higher
hydrocarbons are abstracted from natural gas at the fractionating stage.
Hydrocarbon condensate is a minor product of LNG Facility and meets the requirements of
OST 51.40-93 "Combustible natural gases supplied and transported by gas main pipelines.
Obtained condensate is fed to the storage volume. Condensate is supplied to consumer as far as
filling the storage volume.
Condensate is supplied by automobile transport to the Leningrad Region enterprises according
to individual contracts.

Refrigerant storage reservoirs

The refrigerant storage reservoirs are designed for storage of ethylene and precool mixed
refrigerant. Liquid ethylene and mixed refrigerant are used at the start-up of LNG Facility. The
storage reservoirs are subsequently filled from fractionating unit.
Acid Gas Incineration Unit
The acid gas incineration unit is designed for disposition of gases excreted in the acid gas
removal unit and reduction of pollutant emission to atmosphere.
Acid gases enter the furnace unit which operates at temperature up to 1000 . Combustibles
containing in acid gas are oxidized and discharged to atmosphere in the form of smoke fumes.
Fuel gas preparation system
Fuel gas system uses two pressure levels: fuel gas high pressure for generator drives and
refrigerant turbine and fuel gas low pressure for combustion heaters, flares and other thermal
processes. Fuel gas is taken off from the gas suction and measurement unit. In addition, vapours
occurring at LNG storage and loading are used as fuel gas. Fuel gas of low pressure is essentially
realized from high pressure system by pressure relief.
Electric-power production and emergency power supply
The electric power system will be powered from three piston generators considering required
reserve. The reserve diesel-generator will maintain the electric power system at critical loads.
Emergency systems have: main and reserve uninterruptable power supplies (UPS) for control system
and other equipment which requires uninterrupted power supply.
Heat transfer fluid system
The heat transfer fluid system is used to meet the heat energy needs of processing units. Heat
transfer fluid (hot oil, thermo-oil) is heated up in the pipe furnace and gives up heat to the acid gas
removal unit, as well as to fractionation unit. The hot oil temperature depends on the temperature
required for processing units. Hot oil can also be heated up by exhaust gases at the outlet of gas
piston electric generators.
Water preparation and distribution
The water treatment system involves:
demineralised water recovery and storage unit;
drinking and service water recovery and storage unit.
Demineralised water is generally used at the amine treatment stage. Service water is stored in
the individual volume where from it is fed for desalination, drink water recovery and spent for
technical needs and refilling of fire fighting reservoirs.
Instrumentation air and utility air system
Utility air and instrumentation air are obtained by compression of atmosphere air in the
compressor unit and its accumulation in air receivers. Quality of instrumentation air is provided by
application of instrumentation air dryer.
Nitrogen system
Nitrogen is required for purging of equipment, gas sealing of compressors, forming of gas
cushions and blocks. Air is fed to nitrogen unit from compressors of instrumentation air.
Flaring system
Processing units and storage units are connected with flaring system. Flaring system is a part of
offsite facilities.
The purpose of flaring system is to combust combustion gases and fluids, which are released as

Characteristics of the Product
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is a cryogenic liquid, a mixture of hydrocarbons of the range
110 and nitrogen, with the dominating share of methane (0.850.99), colorless and odorless,
with the boiling point about -160 (111.7 ) under the atmospheric pressure, density 430-480
kg/m3.
LNG is derived from natural gas by the method of cryogenic cooling. By its physical nature, it
is still the natural gas, but in a different aggregate state liquid. During liquefying, the volume of
natural gas is decreased by more than 600 times. LNG is almost twice as light as gasoline; it is not
toxic; chemically inactive; there is less carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide in its product of
combustion than in the product of combustion of compressed natural gas due to better purification
during liquefying. Sea transporting of LNG is carried out in specialized LNG tankers.
As LNG is converted to the gaseous state (re-gassed), its properties comply with those of the
pipeline-transportable natural gas acc. to GOST 5542-87.
The basic properties of liquefied natural gas acc. to TS 51-03-03-85 Combustible Natural

Internal gas supply of MiniTES.
The composition of the Terminal includes a MiniTES of its own; its purpose is generating
electric power and heat. The project provides for gas supply of the MiniTES from an internal overground steel gas pipeline (OP = 2.5 MPa, bore = 250). At the entrance hole to the building, a KShI
bore250 is installed and the gas line is passed through a sleeve into the MiniTES, where, one after
another the following fittings are installed: ball valve, heat stop valve, gas filter, electromagnetic
valve, gas meter, disconnecting fitting of the MiniTES equipment, with the total electric capacity
15.0 MW.
The MiniTES is equipped with a gas safety system that stops the gas flow to the burners in the
case if:
- fire alarm is activated;
- emergency power supply disconnection is in effect;
- CO and 4 maximum allowable concentrations are exceeded.

LOCATION Area
2.1 Natural Climatic Characteristics of the Subject Area
. .
. .
Capital repairs of seawalls will be performed within the confines of the Vyborg Bay the
largest among the second order bays in the eastern part of the Gulf of Finland.
Bottom configuration in this part of the Gulf of Finland is extremely rugged. A large number of
banks, reefs, littoral and insular shelves. The Vyborg Bay is separated from the Gulf of Finland by an
underwater shelf and occupies an area of 450 km2. The Bays upper part is shallow, below the town
of Vysotsk the depths grow significantly, and reach 30 m in the open part.
The Vyborg Bay basin is divided into three parts: upper, middle, and lower.
The upper part is separated from the middle part by a chain of islands, which includes
Vysotsky Island in the south, which forms the Bolshaya Pikhtovaya creek. The area of this region
from the confluence of the Saimaa Channel to the angle towards Sovetsky locality - Podborovie
locality equals 110 km2, prevailing depths 3.5-4.0 m, exclusive of deep water areas adjacent to the
ship channel. Insulosity approaches 21%.
Middle part: Its upper border spreads from the angle Sovetsky Podborovie to the angle
between Pribylovo locality and the foreland northward of Baltiets bay, its lower border along the
Kiperort peninsula across Vikhrevoi island, and aligns with the natural most narrow part of the basin
(6 km wide). Basin area - 160 km2, prevailing depths up to 10 m, max - 12-18 m, insulosity 16%.
Lower part and the adjacent continental shore of the area of Bjorkesund strait. Lower
part begins from angle Pribylovo Baltiets to angle between Gudonovka locality and Krestovy
foreland. The area of the basin is 120 km2, length of coastline - 50 km, prevailing depths of 25-30 m,
insulosity 2%.
The basin of the Vyborg Bay is highly desalinated due to confluence of multiple freshwater
flows into its head, the largest of which is the Saimaa Canal.
As throughout the Gulf of Finland, the Vyborg Bay is characterized by cyclonic flows, with sea
water moving from west to east mainly along the southern coast, and desalinated flows - from east to
west, mostly along the north shore.
Climate in the eastern part of the Gulf of Finland, which applies to the Vyborg Bay, has the
features of marine temperate latitudes. It is characterized by relatively warm, yet long winter, with
rapid changes in temperature, including thaw. Spring is relatively cold with frequent night frosts.
Summer is relatively cool, often with heavy rainfalls. Autumn is quite warm with considerable
amount of clouds and drizzling rainfall.
Air Temperature
Average annual temperature is 4.2 , the warmest month is July, with an average monthly
temperature of 17.6 , and the coldest month is February (minus 9.4 ).
This area is characterized by abrupt changes from cold weather to thaws. On average,
December has 16 days with thaw, in January - 8 days, in February - 5 days.
The air temperature increase during thaws may reach 8-9 .
Air Humidity
Due to prevailing marine air masses humidity in the Vyborg Bay is high all year round. The
number of days with relative humidity of 80% is 140-155 days over the entire basin.
Cloud Amount
The average total monthly amount of cloud varies throughout the year from 5 to 8 points, and
reaches 9 points only in some areas in November and December. The highest amounts of clouds are
observed from October to February.

The average annual number of cloudy days (cloud amount 8-10 points) on the coast ranges
mostly from 190 to 220. The most frequent cloudy days from October to February, when their
average monthly number is 13-26. From April to September, the number of cloudy days in most
areas 4-12.
Sunny days (cloud amount 0-2 points) are few with annual average of 22 to 74.
Precipitations
Precipitations are observed on average 191 days a year. Important characteristic of
precipitations is their intensity. In the cold season heavy precipitations are predominant, and their
average intensity is 0.2-0.4 mm / hr.
In the summer average intensity grows to 1.1-1.3 mm / hr due to rain showers.
Atmospheric Effects
Fogs are a not infrequent at the Vyborg Bay. Fogs are observed 40-45 days per year. Most
often fogs are observed in spring and autumn. Fogs are most rarely observed in the period from
May/June to August. For area described is characterized by advective, radiation and evaporation
fogs.
Average duration of fog over the bay is 4-6 hours and a maximum 50-60 hours. Haze is often
observed over the sea in the winter time.
Thunderstorms in the Vyborg Bay are relatively infrequent. Average annual number of days
with thunderstorms varies from 10 to 19.
The most intense storm activity is observed in July and August. In summer thunderstorms are
usually accompanied by heavy showers and squalls, and in winter - with snowfalls.
Wind Conditions
Southwestern, western and southern winds prevail over the Vyborg Bay. Their repeatability on
average is over 50%, winds of these directions are the most violent.
Average monthly wind speed is 3-7 m / s everywhere, and in autumn and winter it is greater
than in spring and summer. In summer the coast experiences well marked diurnal variation of wind
speed. As a rule, the lowest wind speed is observed at night and in the morning, and the highest in the
afternoon. Tables 2.1.1 and 2.1.2 show statistical evaluation of wind conditions according to HMS
Vyborg.

Currents
Main role in the formation of the pattern of currents in the eastern part of the Gulf of Finland is
played by wind currents, currents caused by long waves, discharge currents and tidal currents.
Wind currents in the Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Finland are developing in the upper layer to the
summer thermocline (20-30 m) and to winter halocline (60-70 m) forced by wind on the water
surface. The deeper the water, the slower these currents grow quickly.

Ice Regime
Ice regime of the area is determined by its geographical position, climatic conditions, depth and
bottom configuration, desalination of waters under the influence of shore flow, the intensity of heat
exchange with the open part of the Gulf of Finland, water circulation.
Ice in the Vyborg Bay is formed annually. Ice formation begins from shallow water and
protected areas and develops throughout the basin of the bay. Vyborg Bay features early formation of
ice and steady ice cover.
Thickness of ice during its maximum development period varies largely from year to year.
Maximum ice thickness near the shore equaled nearly 80 cm, in the open part of the port near
Vysotsk 70 cm. Average ice thickness during its maximum development period equals 40-60 cm.
Ice cover thickness usually reaches its maximum in march, and in the severe winter in early April
Information on dates of ice regime phases, and the basic elements of ice regime according to
HMS Vyborg are given in Table 2.4.8.

. .
Currents, developing under the influence of flow from Saimaa Canal, long waves and tides,
mild in the work area due to being closed and relatively shallow. Essentially its development is
observed along axis of the shipping channel entering the port area in the form of reverse water
exchange currents of the open sea with the Vyborg Bay.

2.5 Fishery characteristics of the area

The Gulf of Vyborg is the main spawning and fishing basin in the eastern part of the Gulf of
Finland.
The Gulf of Vyborg including tertiary gulfs deeply intrusive into land, bays and a number of
islands and having vast well heated littoral area (mostly in the upper and middle part), flow of fresh
water, availability of abundant water flora, provides favourable conditions for reproduction of fish
inhabiting both the Gulf itself and the open areas of the eastern part of the Gulf of Finland.
The bays of the Gulf of Vyborg are places of spawning of many fish species including the
bream, the pike, the perch and the roach, and stony banks at small depth are places of the pike-perch
spawning.
Particularly from here expansion of the bream takes place along the coast of the Gulf of
Finland (that is confirmed by tagging). In the Gulf of Vyborg, its main stocks are concentrated, and
also stocks of other valuable commercial fish sensitive to contents of oxygen dissolved in water.
The considerable numbers of the pike perch, the bream and the smelt annually make spawning
and food migrations from the Gulf of Finland to the Gulf of Vyborg.
2.5.1 Fish fauna and economic importance
Species composition of fish cenosis of the Gulf of Vyborg as per data of specialists of
GosNIORKh and Sevzaprybvoda includes in various seasons from 20 to 26 species of fish and one
species of round-mouthed fishes.
As a rule, the general idea of the composition of fish cenosis of such a basin as the Gulf of
Vyborg can be received by dividing it into three complexes: the marine (brackish water), the fresh
water and the migratory fish complexes. Such a division gives an opportunity to determine the
seasonality of concentration of this or that species in the given water area. Thus, spring and autumn
migrations of the bream and the pike perch greatly influence the species composition of fish cenosis.

But the population of the roach, the perch, the ruff is not subjected to such considerable migrations
and their habitation is associated with the local biotopes. Due to this reason, influence of
anthropogenic factor on them also varies. July is the peak of the summer season with stably high
temperatures and weak mixing of water. This determines dominance of the fish of the fresh water
complex in this desalted part of the Gulf, that was confirmed by conducted research. All the above
species are fresh water and typical inhabitants of this area.
During research in the area of dredging and blasting operations near the island of Vysotsky in
2005, there were representatives of 9 species in the takes belonging to 4 families (Table 2.5.1).
In the course of two seasons, three species prevailed in the composition of fish fauna both by
number and biomass, i.e. the perch, the roach and the silver bream (Tables 2.5.2 and 2.5.3). In the
beginning of summer, the considerable share was that of the ruff, in autumn the Baltic herring
approaches were observed.

Characteristics of fish food reserve
The main components of ecosystem, which provide reproduction of fish stock are brushing of
aquatic vegetation (macrophytes), planktonic water plants (phytoplankton), zooplankton and
zoobenthos.
Macrophytes serve as biotope in which the most productive littoral communities of plankton
and benthos develop. Brushing serves also as substrate for spawning of phytophilous fishes and
shelter for their young.
In the upper and in the middle part of the Gulf of Vyborg, aquatic vegetation occupies almost
all shallow water gulfs and bays and shallow waters around the islands. Flora is represented with
typically lake species. The most specific is brushing of the bulrush (Scirpus lacustris), the rush
(Phragmites australis), the white water lily (Nimphaea Candida), the candock (Nupphar lutea), the
cornstalk weeds (Potamogeton lucens), the clasping-leaved pondweed (P.perfoliatus) and the
tenchweed (P.natans), the arrowhead (Sagittaria sagittifolis). The latter two species are spread
mainly in river mouths.
In the lower part of the Gulf, where underwater ground disposal is located, macrophytes can be
come across along the western coast only. Here, phytobenthos (filamentous aglae and charophytes)
prevail, species of higher plants are registered in small quantities.
Phytoplankton in live condition makes the basis of food of peaceful zooplankton.
At the boundary of the upper part and the middle part of the Gulf of Vyborg, species specific
for shallow waters prevail in the composition of phytoplankton. In the course of the most part of the
growing season, the group of dominants is made of the blue-green algae (Limnothrix planctonica,
Planktothrix agardhii, Aphanizomenon flos-aquae) and the green (the Chlorococcales Scenedesmus
acuminatus and S.quadricauda). Apart from them the group of the mass usually includes class
species Lyngbya and Phormidium, and also specimen of the euglenales (class species
Trachelomonas) and the cryptophites formations (species p. Cryptomonas). Phytoplankton biomass
reaches at the period of maximum up to 9-11 g/m3, and makes in average 3 g/m3.
In the lower part of the Gulf, phytoplankton does not differ from the adjacent water area of the
open part of the Gulf of Finland as regards species composition and quantitative indices. Planktonic
algae biomass in average makes about 0.5 g/m3 with dominating blue-green algae (Planktothrix
agardhii, Limnothrix planctonica, liomphosphaeria lacustris, Nodularia spumigena) and unicellular
green algae (Pyramimonas).

In July 2005, 37 of 6 formations were discovered in the composition of phytoplankton of the

explored sections of the Gulf of Vyborg: 9 species of the blue-green algae, 8 of the green, 4 of the
diatom, 2 of the goldish, 5 of the cryptophytes and 1 of the dynophites.
As to number and biomass, at all the stations the filamentous blue-green algae (Planktothrix
agardhii and Anabaena flos-aqua) prevailed. At the stations located close to the shore at Pihtovaya
bay and in the area of disposals to them, small-celled species of the blue-green, the green and the
dynophite algae (Gomphosphaeria lacustris, Microcystis reinboldii, Monoraphidium contortum,
Chlamydomonas sp. and Gymnodinium simplex) joined them.
The number and biomass of phytoplankton at all the explored water area made about 8 mln.
cells/l and 0.80 g/m3, accordingly..Maximum values of indices of abundance of phytoplankton (about
14 mln. cells/l and 1.34 g/m3) were registered at the water area of Pihtovaya bay. In the area of the
approach channel, the number and biomass made 5.20 mln. cells/l and 0.69 g/m 3, accordingly.
Minimum indices of abundance of phytoplankton (about 5 mln. cells/l and 0.37 mg/l) were registered
in the water area of disposal.
Zooplankton is the basis for food of the early young of all fish species, and also of the fullgrown fishes-plankton-eaters.
In the upper and in the middle part of the Gulf of Vyborg, specimen of the fresh water complex
prevail, marine species are practically not registered in this part of the Gulf of Vyborg. In various
seasons of the year, the group of mass species is made of fresh water species out of classes
Synchaeta, Conochilus, Polyarthra, Keratella, Euchlanis, Asplanchna (rotifers), Daphnia, Bosmina,
Chydorus (cladocerans), Mesocyclops, Eurytemora (copepods). Quite often the number of mass
species also includes large forms of shellfish - species out of classes Eurycercus, Bythotrephes,
Polyphemus, Leptodora kindtii (cladocerans) and Heterocope (copepods).
The numbers of zooplankton are high and to the maximum make 70 in the littoral area, 170
thous. specimen/m3 in the deep-water zone, their basis is made with cladocerans and copepods.
The zooplankton biomass considerably varies in time and space: in the littoral area - from 0.08
to 10 g/m3, in the more deep-water part of the water area - from 0.1 to 2.0 g/m3, its basis (up to 80%)
is usually made with copepods.
In the lower part of the Gulf the community is represented mostly by fresh water species,
brackish water species make not more than 18% out of the total number, the marine ones - less than
1%. The group of mass species is made out of species of classes Mesocyclops, Acaniho clops,
Eurytemora lacustris and Limnocalanus grimaldii (copepods), Chydorus (cladopcerans), Keratella
quadrata and Conochilus unicornis (rotifers). Out of the above species, only L. grimaldii relates to
brackish water forms. Out of the mentioned species, L. grimaldii prevails in spring, species of classes
Mesocyclops and Acanthocyclops prevail during the whole of growing season, Chydorus dominates
in summer time.
The numbers of zooplankton are relatively small (50 thous. specimen/m3 in average), their
basis is made with copepods and rotifers. The zooplankton biomass varies within the whole growing
season from 0.01 to 0.38 with dominance of copepods and cladocerans.
In July 2005, 33 species of organisms were discovered in the composition of zooplankton
including 8 species of rotifers, 11 species of cladocerans and 13 species of copepods.
Zooplankton was widely represented both by fresh water species (species of classes Daphnia,
Chydorus, Bosmina, Leptodora, Mesocyclops, Acantocyclops), and brackish water species (Keratella
quadrata platei, Eurytemora hirundoides, Acartia clausi, Limnocalanus grimaldii). Marine species
(Keratella quadrata platei, Eurytemora hirundoides, Acartia clausi, Limnocalanus grimaldii) were
come across singularly.
In the water area of Pihtovaya bay, the numbers of zooplankton varied from 21 to 60 thous.
specimen/m3 and made in average about 40 thous. specimen/m3 with dominance of copepods. The
biomass of zooplankton varied from 0.4 to 1.2 g/m, 0.9 g/m in average, the basis of biomass was

made with large species Cercopagis pengoi, Daphnia cucullata, Leptodora kindtii, Diaphanosoma
brahyurum.
In the area of approach channel, the numbers of zooplankton was within 17 to 35 thous.
specimen/m3 and made in average about 26 thous. specimen/m3. At this section, copepods
(Mesocyclops Eurytemora hirundoides) prevailed. The biomass of zooplankton varied from 0.6 to
0.8 g/m, 0.7 g/m in average, the basis of biomass was made by large species Cercopagis pengoi,
Daphnia cucullata .
In the area of underwater disposal, the numbers of zooplankton varied from 5 to 14 thous.
specimen/m3 and made in average about 8 thous. specimen/m3. Here, copepods prevailed by means
of development of copepod stages Eurytemora hirundoides. The biomass varied from 0.4 to 0.7 g/m
and made in average 0.5 g/m3, at that, its main part consisted of large species of copepods and
cladocerans (Eurytemora hirundoides, Limnocalanus grimaldii Cercopagis pengoi, Daphnia
cucullata).
Zoobenthos serves as food for the young of many species of fish and makes the basis for food
of full-grown fishes-benthos-eaters.
In the upper and in the middle part of the Gulf, the species composition of benthos is varied.
For the littoral area with poorly silted sands, presence of large shellfishes including conches (7
species with dominance of Theodoxus fluviatilis) and clams (M.Unionidae) is specific. Apart from
shellfish, larvae of chironomids (5 species), small oligochaetes, heleids (2 species), and also great in
number nematodes, osctracodes and water acarian are represented in zoobenthos. In more deep-water
sections, in comparison with shallow waters, zoobenthos is poor and represented with only
oligochaetes (Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri, Lumbriculus variegatus, Tubifex tubifex) and larvae of
chironomids (Procladius ferrugineus and Chironomus plumosus).
The numbers of zoobenthos during growing season makes from 0.68 to 1.6 thous.
specimen/m2, the overall biomass is from 1.06 to 313.4 g/m2, at that, up to 95% of biomass is
provided by shellfish. The average biomass of feed zoobenthos (without big shellfish) made about 8
g/m2 in the 1990-ies and in the latest years it has not exceeded 2 g/m2.
In the lower part of the Gulf, in the area of underwater ground disposal, zoobenthos is
practically unavailable. The biomass of bottom animals is usually less than 0.1 g/m with dominance
of oligochaetes.
In July 2005, the zoobenthos of the explored water area of the Gulf of Vyborg was extremely
poor by qualitative and quantitative indices.
In the area of Pihtovaya bay, zoobenthos was represented by oligochaetes, larvae of
chironomides, polychaetes, flat worms and nematodes. The numbers of zoobenthos varied from
station to station from 0.20 to 0.56 thous. specimen/m2, biomass, from 0.12 to 0.27 g/m2. In average
in the area, the quantitative indices made 0.33 thous. specimen/m3 and 0.16 g/m, accordingly. By
number and by biomass, oligochaetes prevailed.
In the area of the approach channel, zoobenthos consisted of oligochaetes and larvae of
chironomides (Procladius ferrugineus and Chironomus plumosus). The numbers varied from station
to station from 0.12 to 0.68 thous. specimen/m2, biomass, from 0.22 to 2.38 g/cm2, in average by the
area, the quantitative indices made 0.29 thous. specimen/m2 and 1.15 g/m2, accordingly. By number
and by biomass, larvae of chironomides prevailed.
In the area of underwater disposal, benthic communities differed by specific poverty,
zoobenthos was represented only with single oligochaetes and nematodes. The numbers of
macrozoobenthos varied from station to station from 0.04 to 0.12 thous. specimen/m2, biomass, from
0.01 to 0.06 g/m2. In average in the area, the quantitative indices made 0.09 thous. specimen/m 2 and
0.11 g/m2.

Specially protected areas (SPA)
In accordance with the data of the Natural Resources Committee of Leningrad Region, there
are no specially protected natural territories in the area of location of the Terminal.
At a distance of about 4.6 km, there is the state geological natural monument of regional
importance called Ostrov Gustoy (the Island of Gustoy).
The geological natural monument of regional importance Ostrov Gustoy was established in
1976.
Location: Vyborgsky district of Leningrad Region, 2 km to the west of the town of Vysotsk
and 7 km to south-west of the city of Vyborg (Figure 2.3).
Area: 54 hectares.
Purpose of establishment: The territory has been declared natural monument to preserve unique
egresses of rapakivi granites and original land forms, the "cowstones".
Documents: The Decree of the Leningrad Region Government dated 26 December 1996 No.

Short description
The Island of Gustoy is U-shaped. The eastern coast of the island is abrupt (the height of cliff is
about 20 m), that is associated with tectonic disturbance (horst). The north-western end of the island
is a granite rock with the height of up to 30 m and length about 500 m, smoothed with glacier, the
typical cowstones. In other areas, there are polished rocks on which surfaces one can clearly see big
ovoids - round crystals of field spar edged with crystals of quartz and mica typical for rapakivi
granites. A picturesque bay plunges into the central part of the island. This bay is a favourite berth
for yachtsmen. A combination of water space and numerous woody islands with rock masses,
cowstones, indented coast line, narrow and long gulfs - all this makes the most picturesque landscape
of skerries specific to the coast of northern Scandinavia and non-specific to any other areas of
Leningrad Region.
Specially protected objects: cowstones land forms, rapakivi granites.
Security mode restricting economic activity: the following is forbidden: mining and digging of

Short description
The reserved forest is located at the southern end of the Baltic fundamental crystalline
formations and occupies the littoral part of the Gulf of Finland and the Gulf of Vyborg, the northern
part of Kiperort peninsula, the island of Lisyi, adjacent small islands. Undulating and horseback land
features distinct north-western orientation. The coastal line is strongly indented. On several islands
there are rocky egresses of granites (eskers). Pine forests prevail: with green moss, blackberry, red
billberry and blackberry, heather and batfish. Spruce forests are considerably rare. Msharas and bogs
are associated with lows including suffruticous-cottongrass-acid, meadow-acid bogs. On some
islands there are small areas of broad-leaved forests of oaks, ash-trees and lindens. Sticky alder
forests and maritime meadows are associated with coasts. Shallow-water backwashes and low coasts
overgrow with the rush and the reed. As to its floristic composition, sea banks and maritime
meadows with a complex of species (including the rare ones) of psammophilous and halophilous
plants are interesting. One can quite often see the moss fern which is more specific for the north of
Karelian Isthmus. Coastal shallow waters are places of spawning and feed of many species of fish:
the Baltic herring, the smelt, the cisco, the perch, the bream, the pike perch and the eel. Quite often
there are approaches of the Baltic bank cod and also other sea fish including the garfish, the
lumpfish, seldom of the herring-twaite shad. Of the amphibias, the crested newt is worth mentioning,
of the reptiles, the grass-snake, common for the littoral area of the gulf. The abundance of bird fauna
is associated with penetration of many species of maritime and near water birds of the central and
western parts of the Baltics, and also mass flight over this territory by planktonic and land migrants.
Out of rare species, the following were registered at nesting: the brant goose, the bluebill, the oyster
catcher, the herbalist, the turnstone, the dunlin, the seagull, the polar, the small and the black terns,
the Caspian tern. The shallow water area near Kiperort peninsula serves as a place of mass spring
staging area for the flight whooping swan and the tundra fish duck, the river duck and the diving
duck. Out of the latter, the most mass are the long-tail duck, the scoter, the velvet scoter, the bluebill,
the bullhead. Geese fly in big quantities, and also the brent goose and the barnacle goose, seagulls,
various species of snipes, the common crane, the Arctic loon and the red-throated loon, the greatcrested grebe and the red-necked grebe. Autumn migration of land birds is extremely intense
including the most part of species of sparrows, doves (ring doves, stock doves), peckers and owls.
Apart from ordinary species of mammals, here, several types of bats are registered, the great number
of which is due to their concentration on spring and autumn flights as well.

2.8 Plant Life Charateristic

Design area is in the northwest of Karelian Isthmus, in the Gulf of Finland shoreland. The area
considered is an archipelago comprising a number of islands in a bay protected from direct water
effect by Kiperort Peninsula. The archipelago islands differ greatly in size, the largest in the area
being Vysotsky Island and Lisy and Shkolny Islands. Most islands and the northern half of Kiperort
Peninsula comprise part of Local Integrated Reserve Vyborgsky.
In design area, pine forests prevail: moss, myrtillus type, vaccinium-myrtillus type, ericetal,
rays. To low areas, msharas and wetlands are restricted: suffruticous-cottongrass-sphagnum, sedgesphagnum. To beaches, sticky alder forests and coastal meadows are restricted. Shallow backwaters
and low beaches overgrow with rush and bulrush.
In the area considered, grows a large amount of rare and protected species of vascular plants: 4
species are included into Red Data Book of the RSFSR (plants) (1988): Wahlenberg alisma
(Alisma wahlenbergii), Baltic dactylorhiza (Dactylorhiza baltica), barbed sporules quillwort (Isetes
setacea) and swamp gale (Myrica gale). Nine species are listed into Red Data Book of the Leningrad
Region Nature (plants and fungus) (2000) in addition to above-mentioned, these are chive (Allium
schoenoprasum), littoral centaury (Centaurium littorale), dyers woad (Isatis tinctoria), dwarf cornel
(Chamaepericlymenum suecicum) and sea aster (Tripolium vulgare). Fifteen species are enlisted into
Red Data Book of the East Fennoscandia (1998)) and thirteen species into Red Data Book of the
Baltic Region (1993)).
Wahlenberg alisma. In Russia it only grows in Vyborg District of the Leningrad Region mainly
along the shores of the Gulf of Finland at the depth of 1.3 to 1.5 metres. The species is very particular
about water body cleanness and cannot stand its pollution or roiling.
Baltic dactylorhiza. In the Leningrad Region it is found at the northern boundary of the range.
On Karelian Isthmus in two points, one of them being Vysotsky Island.
Barbed sporules quillwort. In the Leningrad Region it is quite often encountered, mainly on
Karelian Isthmus, where it prefers water bodies with clean sandy bottom, however in the area
considered it is encountered in silty floodable beach of the Gulf of Finland between the strip covered
with common reed (Phragmites australis) and coastal sticky alder forest. The species is very
particular about water body cleanness and cannot stand its pollution or roiling.
Swamp gale. In the Leningrad Region it is mainly encountered on beaches and islands of the
Gulf of Finland. At present, swamp gale population is outside development area and is well
preserved. Swamp gale grows among common reed, bentgrass (Agrostis straminea), sharp-leaved
uncina (Carex acuta), marsh parsley (Thyselium palustre), meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria),
marsh arrow grass (Triglochin palustre), marsh bedstraw (Galium palustre), grass of Parnassus
(Parnassia palustris) and other moisture-loving species typical for swamp gale assemblages.
Chive. In the Leningrad Region it mainly grows on the Gulf of Finland beaches and islands.
Littoral centaury. In the Leningrad Region it is only encountered on the Gulf of Finland
beaches and islands.
Dyers woad. In the Leningrad Region it is only encountered on the Gulf of Finland beaches
and islands.

Among ruderal plants, next to dyer's woad, grow curled thistle (Carduus crispus), cotton
burdock (Arctium tomentosum), felon herb (Artemisia vulgaris), snakeflower (Lamium album),
winter cress (Barbarea vulgaris), wild chervil (Anthryscus sylvestris).
Dwarf cornel. In the Leningrad Region it is mainly encountered on the Gulf of Finland beaches
and islands.
Sea aster. Obligatory halophilous species, in the Leningrad Region only grows on the Gulf of
Finland beaches and islands.
The main limiting factor in the area considered is beaches development, drain of coastal marsh,
pollution of the Gulf of Finland littoral part, trampling down.
2.9 Wild Animals Characteristic

Amphibia and Reptiles
Of the number of amphibia, special mention shall be made of crested newt, and of reptiles grass snake quite common in littoral bay.
Avifauna
Abundance of avifauna is due to many species of sea and semi-aquatic birds transfer from
central and western parts of the Baltic states and to wide-scale pass over the territory of natatorial and
terrestrial migrants. Of rare species, the following birds have been noticed nesting: brent goose,
bluebill, oyster catcher, redshank, turnstone, dunlin, cob, arctic, little and black terns, Caspian tern. In
great numbers geese, brant and barnacle goose, sea gulls, different species of sandpipers, common
crane, black- and red-throated diver, great-crested and red-necked grebes pass. Very high is autumn
migration of terrestrial birds most species of passerines, pigeons (ringdove, stock dove),
woodpeckers and owls. In addition to common species of mammals, they have noticed here several
species of night bats whose abundance is also due to their concentration during spring and autumn
pass.
. .
. .
Fauna of Nestling Birds

In addition to breeding species, to conventionally local fauna belongs a group of migratory
birds as these birds spend part or entire summer season in the vicinity of Vysotsky Island. They are
not numerous. Of rare species here belong nominotypical subspecies of black-throated diver Gavia a.
arctica (listed in the Red Data Book of the Russian Federation and local editions), pintail Anas acuta
(Red Data Book of the Baltic Region RDBB, Red Data Book of the Leningrad Region - RDBLR),
gadwall Anas strepera, occasionally getting to the bay white-tailed eagle Heliaeetus albicilla (IUCN,
Red Data Book of the Russian Federation - RDBRF, RDBB, Red Data Book of the East
Fennoscandia - RDBEF, RDBLR), fish-hawk Pandion haliaetus (IUCN, RDBRF, RDBB, RDBEF,
RDBLR), curlew Numeniua arquata (RDBRF, RDBB, RDBLR), oyster catcher of nominotypical
subspecies Haematopus o. ostralegus, Caspian tern Sterna caspia (IUCN, RDBRF, RDBB, RDBEF,
RDBLR), least tern (RDBRF, RDBB, RDBLR) and gray-headed woodpecker Picus canus (RDBB,
RDBEF, RDBLR).
Of the species quite common for the Gulf of Finland and Europe black cormorant
(Phalacrocorax carbo), mute swan (Cygnus olor), wigeon (Anas penelope) and whimbrel (Numenius
phaeopus). Apparently, here should also belong foresters and swampy-forest species of birds that do
not nest on islands but come here to feed or during young birds late summer migration and wintering.
These are black game (Lyrurus tetrix), possibly, capercaillie (Tetrao urogalus), common crane (Grus
grus), goshawk (Accipiter gentilis), golden plover (Pluvialis apricaria), cob (Larus marinus) and
kingfisher (Alcedo attis).
As for the estimate of abundance (rare/common), it is not only connected with actual species
rareness (for example, for the territory of the Leningrad Region or Karelian Isthmus) but more with

insular systems small capacity. All the Vyborg Bay islands have limited capacity with respect to both
cache and areas suitable for nidification. That is the reason of their special vulnerability from the
point of view of man-induced pressing. Transect data indicate that nidification density for most
terrestrial bird species is 2 to 3 times lower than that on the mainland.
Nidification of aquatic and semi-aquatic species is limited by the Vyborg Bay deep waters and
low food capacity. In the area of Vysotsky Island even in the areas overgrown with emergent
vegetation (mainly rush, quite often thinned) depths reach 1-1.5 metres which prevents dabbling duck
feeding. Macrophyte underbrush in numerous bays and straits is as a rule thinned, silts on shingly
rocky bottom are thin. On the whole, most favourable for natatorial nidification areas occupy small
territories (for example, between Vysotsky and Kozliny, Vysotsky and Svobodny Islands, coastline
and Tyoply, Vesenniy, Sennoi Islands. Such species of diving ducks-cavity nesters as bullhead and
common merganser cannot find old hollow trees on the islands. Semi-aquatic birds (first of all,
sandpipers) do not have enough open spaces (too tallgrass meadows, narrow and short strip of
shingly and sandy beaches), silty sandbanks. For sea gulls and terns, nidification is also limited by
insufficiency of dry land open space and depths (fishing difficulty). To some extent are exceptional
southern land tongues of Vysotsky Island (cape Karavai) and smaller islands (for example,
Gryadovy, Travny) or very small nameless accompanying luds available at nearly every small or
medium-size island.
Among important findings of new species is that of nesting common eider in the vicinity of
Bolshoi Vysotsky Island. Before, this goose barnacle species was only found breeding outside the
Vyborg Bay, in particular, on Tsepnoi, Bolshaya Otmel and Rondo Islands in Berezovykh
archipelago. This finding draws the breeding range area directly to Bolshoi Vysotsky Island.
Common eider is a very rare nesting species in the Russian part of the Baltic territory and Lake
Ladoga; the species is enlisted into Red Data Book of the Leningrad Region. As of today, on the
islands of the Gulf of Finland central and eastern parts and Ladoga north-west, nest 80 to150 pairs of
eider (Buzun, 2005). The species also extremely rarely pass the islands. In spring not more than 10
units of eider pass over the Vyborg Bay on the way to the north.
. .
. .
Fauna of Migratory Birds

One of the branches of the vast White Sea-Baltic Sea flight route via which annually millions
of birds of different species, mainly Arctic natatorials, fly to polar regions in spring and back in
autumn passes through the Vyborg Bay. Vysotsky Island occupies key position with respect to flight
route. In spring birds entering the Gulf of Finland are then pulled into the Vyborg Bay as if it were a
funnel, and Vysotsky Island is on their way forming the first noticeable narrowing of bay, looking
from south-west to north-east. Migrants have to either stop here, or envelope dry land, or increase
flight altitude to 500 to 3000 metres. In autumn, when flying from north-east, migrant flow
concentration is less pronounced, however, mighty flow of goose barnacle flying along Vuoksa river
system from the east continue their way over the Gulf and Vysotsky Island. Here they make much
fewer stops and prefer to pass Vysotsky Island increasing their altitude.
Another peculiarity of birds migration in the vicinity of Vysotsky Island is directed continuous
bird migration, especially in autumn. This kind of migration is especially characteristic of arctic
species of natatorials and is called migrational salvoes (or on/off migration). In practical terms it
means that within short time periods multitudes of birds pass over the island and its vicinity,
followed by multi-day off-peak periods. In the vicinity of Vysotsky Island, typical migration stops
(the so-called stop-overs) characterized by 2 to 3 week birds feeding in order to build up sufficient
energy reserves for the next migration stage, are made by divers, looms, swans and goose barnacle.
Spring is characterized by specific circumstances. In the Vyborg Bay, spring weather
conditions cause the circumstances when entire April natatorials arriving from the west and southwest (mostly, divers, looms, swans and goose barnacle) have insufficient open water. In case of cold
spell quite often abmigration takes place. Ice-holes are formed every year in the same water area
points which results in formation of compact migrating clusters of aquatic birds. Of special value are
stops within Reserve Vyborgsky, as it is here (Klyuchevsky Bay and to the south-east of Lisy
-80.0-5.4/0.0115-06-

47
island) that rare species of arctic migrants (looms, swans) are concentrated, or collect extraordinary
numbers of units of common species (for example, divers). One of the largest stops of whooping
swans and tundra swans is in close vicinity of Vysotsky Island, in the Bay of Samolanlakhti.
In May stop-overs break up or become short-termed and on/off-migration starts. Dabbling
ducks and diving-ducks covering small distances (for example, frying to the Ladoga, Karelia) form
small flocks in some enclosed bays and river estuaries, but such mixed flocks do not last long.
In autumn flying is mainly on/off type, natatorial stops, if any, are not numerous and do not
last long. As a rule, dozens of looms or dozens or hundreds of goose barnacle flock offshore.
Quantitatively Vysotsky Island locking the bay position results in the fact that over it and
close to it to the south or north of it - pass practically all birds migrating through the Vyborg Bay.
In some seasons, arctic natatorials can pass Vysotsky Island in quantities twice smaller than
usual, as on some not yet clear reasons part of the birds cross Karelian Isthmus southward or travel
via Finland. Another reason for numerosity drop may be birds survivability on wintering grounds or
parturiating on breeding grounds. These numerosity drops shall be accounted for as an essential part
of bird world population can suffer from unavailability of stop grounds.
As it was already mentioned above, autumn stopping grounds of migrant birds around
Vysotsky Island and adjacent islands are not diverse in what concerns both species composition and
number. Multitudes of birds approaching the island from the upper reaches of the Vyborg Bay pass
the island in transit. In August on its entire territory there can only be encountered some hundreds of
dabbling ducks (mainly, mallards and teals), in September the figure goes down to dozens of units.
Their main packings are formed in rush thickets between Vysotsky and Kozliny Islands, between
Vysotsky and Svobodny Islands, from Sovetsky to Sennoi Island, in river Gorokhovka estuary, in
Malaya Pikhtovaya bay and some other bays. A little more frequently in adjacent waters stop divingducks, especially goose barnacle. At the end of September in October in total up to five hundred
long-tailed ducks, black scoter, scoter, bluebill and bullheads crowd in open water 1 to 3 km to the
east of Vysotsky Island (on bench land Kukhaluoto and in the vicinity of Gryadovy Island), and to
the west of Vysotsky Island (in Bolshoy Tranzundsky roadstead). To the south of Vysotsky Island
there have been noticed small packings of tufted ducks and bluebills, bullheads. But these stops are
not durable. Whooping swans and tundra swans make short stops in the Bay of Samolanlakhti,
Klyuchevsky Bay and to the south-east of Lisy Island, i.e. on spring concentration grounds.
No dwelling places of Red Data Book plants or animals are present in the design area.

3.2 Impact on the Geological Environment

Types of impacts on the geological environment are the following:
construction of the site for LNG Complex facilities
construction of a gas pipeline branch of the main gas pipeline "Leningrad-Vyborg-state
boundary"
road construction.
Impact sources will be construction machinery used to lay line structures and build site
structures, such as bulldozers, excavating machines etc.
Site building is carried out by removal of rocks bedded above and under design reference
marks and backfilling (with layer-by-layer compaction) up to the design reference marks on the
subdued topography.
Access motorways will be constructed to provide for a year-round interconnection of the
facilities and access to the existing network of motorways. Routes of the road ways being designed
shall be laid with account of the existing topography and providing for minimization of earthwork
volumes.
Construction period
During construction of LNG Complex facilities, the main type of impact on the geological
environment is a mechanical disturbance of the natural condition of rocky and loose soils. All this
can lead to:
relief transformation
disturbance of hydrogeological regime of the area
activation of the existing geotechnical and permafrost processes as well as formation of new
ones.
In the points of intersection between stream flows and the gas pipeline route, the following can
be observed:
deformation of bottomland
destruction of coasts due to coastland erosion
changes in stream hydrological regimes.

. .
.
. .
The following processes are expected to become more intensive:

surface erosion by water, the process of sheet erosion will be enhanced with various
intensity depending on the peculiarities of the area geological structure.
Mire formation process are expected to become less intensive.
During the construction, the geological environment will be impacted due to land planning,
foundation arrangements and motor road construction. The impact on the geological environment is
expected to be intensive, though it will stay within the land alloted for the construction providing that
no techniques and methods which contribute to activation of hazardous geological processes are used
during earthwork.
Operation period
During operation, the impact on the geological environment will include loads on the
foundations soils of buildings and structures or will be resulted from an emergency situation.
During normal operation, the geological environment will be minimally impacted. In case of an
emergency, the project provides a number of measures to prevent from pollution of the geological
environment and subsurface waters at the Terminal.
The site design includes an fence along the perimeter of which an exclusion zone is provided.
The general LNG plant flaring system is used to constantly discharge stabilization gases, to draw off
the gas phase from vessels and to provide for emergency gas and vapour discharge.
For collection of [process and storm wastewater as well as leaked hydrocarbon products, the
project provides for a drainage system which will cover all the sites where liquid hydrocarbons are
present.
The Project provides for construction of a protecting earth mound around the tanks in order to
protect the surrounding area against accidental fluid spillage if the tanks are destroyed in the points of
wall-and-bottom coupling.
The following measures will be taken to prevent from soil and subsurface water pollutions in
case of a potential accidental release:
around diesel fuel tanks, a concrete enclosure and a Bentomat impervious screen
under fired heaters, a reinforced concrete tray to collect precipitations and potentially
leaking fluids
concrete skirting 200 m high will be constructed around tanks containing oil, methanol, or
diesel fuel. The site surrounded with the skirting will have a concrete pavement 50 mm high made of
B5 concrete.
Geodynamic monitoring and control are provided to minimize the impact on the geological
environment and prevent emergencies from occurring.
Geodynamic monitoring includes the following subsections:
a)
facility monitoring, including all types of monitoring of bases, foundations and bearing
structures
b)
geodynamic monitoring itself, including systems of monitoring observations of changes
in soil conditions and subsurfaces water levels and composition, and development of destructive
processes, such as erosion, earth slides, karst-suffosion processes, surface subsidence etc.
Instrument observations of foundation settlement are made to define the degree of stability and
reliability of foundations and bases during their construction and operation. Preventive measures to
eliminate deformations hazardous for structures can be developed and taken based on the results of
such observations.
In case that unacceptable deformations are detected in the foundations, all measures necessary
to eliminate deformations and reinforce structures shall be taken.
If a point of intensive foundation settlement is detected, the settlement degree shall be
measured according to a specially developed program depending on the impact of deformations of
structure strength and stability as well as on the acceptability of settlement, with account of the nature
of the operating process.
During operation, the impact will be predominantly observed as an impact on the foundation
soils of buildings and structures. Main technical solutions are designed with account of potential
natural and technogenic emergencies. If the design solutions are implemented and environmental

protection measures are taken, the impact of the geological environment during normal operation will
be acceptable.
3.2.1 Measures For Protection of Subsurface Resources and the Geological Environment
Measures for protection of subsurface resources and the geological environment during the
construction include the set of engineering and organizational measures to be taken during
construction and planning of sites and line structures. Such measures include:
planning of flattening of all cut and backfilled slopes
laying of pipeline routes in such a way that construction operations at the areas with
potential pipeline instability are avoided whenever it is possible
surface water drainage systems to drain water from working sites and motor road beds
no techniques and methods which promote soil washing-out, wind erosion and sloughing,
ravine development, sand washing-out and genesis of bog soils will be used during earthwork.
. .
. .
To prevent pollution of subsurface resources during operation, the project provides for:
complete sealing of the processes
use of equipment resistant to corrosion and abrasion
closure embankment of process sites and structures where accidental release of liquid
products is possible, including construction of a storm water collection system for such sites
cathodic polarization of underground steel facilities to protect them against soil corrosion
high level of production process automation which provides for alarms about any deviations
of process parameters from the allowable values in potential emergency situations.

the town of Vysotsk, and a raiway is built closely to RPK-Vysotsk LUKOIL-II terminal. The nearest
railway station, Popovo, is located 8 km to the east of the site.
The nearest inhabited locality, Vysotsk, is situated 2.5 km from the terminal.
Fairway no. 6 which leads to Port of Vysotsk is located in the middle, 700 m from the shore.
The seashore at the designed construction area is covered by forests, trees and bushes grow
close to the shoreline. The beach is narrow, 5-15 m. The beach soil consists of sand, gravel, pebbles,
stones and boulders.
The area of the future construction site is grass-covered. The topography is rugged, sloping to
the water area, and partially changed due to construction work. Surface elevations vary from 0.0 m to
11.0 m, gradually lowering in the direction to the water area.
The bottom of the offshore area is a submarine terrace plain having boulders on its surface.
Surface soils of the coastal area bottom consist of sand, gravel, pebbles and stones; silts are observed
at depths of more than 7-9 metres.
A 6 m isobath goes 30-50 m and a 10 m isobath goes 100-130 m from the shore at the shore
area where hydraulic engineering works being designed are supposed to be constructed.
The construction of LNG Complex, with account of a potential expansion, will require a plot of
land of approximately 50 Ha. The plot of land selected on the Ryuyevyalinniyemi Peninsula in Port
of Vysotsk can comprise the Terminal completely, including the necessary infrastructure.
. .

3.3.2 Impact on the Soil Mantle and Land Usage

Planning of plots of land to be used for the construction of Terminal facilities is based on the
following principles:
substantial and efficient use of plots of land
land use planning
grouping of facilities by their functional purposes
disposition of facilities being designed with account of the peculiarities of the region (terrain
relief, soil properties etc.)
use of a modular construction method and reduction of the length of utilities being designed.
The plot of land being considered has no specially protected natural areas. No natural
monuments are present on the plot.
The impact on the land resources due to the Project implementation is resulted from:
the impact of construction machinery on soils at the boundaries of alloted lands
the impact of emissions from machines and process equipment during operation.
All types of possible impact on land resources can be united (with a certain conventionality) in
two groups: direct impacts and indirect impacts.
The Project provides for a package of work on construction of buildings and structures, utilities
and implementation of the Pot Plan which will have a certain impact on land resources:
construction of foundations of buildings and structures
laying of utility networks and supply lines
-80.0-5.4/0.0115-06-
. .. No. .
.

. .
. .
pipeline laying
a package of work on land improvement.
As a result of implementation of a construction work package, the direct impact can be
represented by:
technogenic deformation of the microrelief due to repeated passing of heavy construction
machinery (ruts, grooves etc.)
structural soil disturbance at the boundaries of plots of land when constructing passages and
draining trenches and excavation work for buildings
changes in the water balance of the zone of aeration
soil disturbance in the areas adjacent to the facilities being constructed, due to the impact of
machinery
soil pollution by construction materials and wastes in the area adjoining to the facilities
being constructed
soil pollution by petroleum products in case of machinery malfunctions leading to petroleum
product spillages.
Soil pollution by petroleum products in case of machinery malfunctions leads to the following
adverse effects:
deterioration in the morphological and physicochemical soil properties
deterioration in the hydrophysical properties, decrease of aeration
deterioration in the soil humus condition
changes in biocenosis, demise of invertebrate animals, inactivation of nitrifying bacteria,
reduction in fermentation activity
deterioration of the reductive-oxidative conditions, increase of toxic Fe II oxides.
The lower limit of petroleum and petroleum product concentration in the polluted soil is 0.1 to
1.0 g/kg. In this case the soil can become a source of secondary pollution of surface and underground
waters. Groundwaters are considered as polluted if petroleum and petroleum product concentration in
them equals to 0.05 mg/l in water filtered through soil.
Indirect impact during construction of the facilities being designed can be represented by
indirect soil pollution by heavy metals and organic chemical compounds from running internal
combustion engines.
-80.0-5.4/0.0115-06-
. .. No. .
.
62
Operation of the facilities being designed will result in an indirect impact only. The most
considerable indirect impact of soil resources is an indirect impact on soils adjacent to the facilities
being constructed in areas of industrial emissions which components can contribute to desalination of
major cations (calcium and manganese) and their removal out of soil stratum. If soil acidity increases
and soil buffering decreases, many metals transfer into mobile forms.
3.3.3 Measures for Protection and Substantial Use of Land Resources and Soil Mantle
. .
. .
The following environmental protection measures shall be taken during preparatory work at the
sites intended for the facility construction:
location of sites for facility constructions are selected with account of topographical,
landscape and soil aspects of the natural environment
machinery movement is prohibited beyond the alloted land
parking lots and refueling stations for specialized machinery and motor vehicles are
equipped with trays which prevent POL spillages on soils
waste and debris collection and storage areas are covered with a solid coating (asphalt,
concrete) and provided with containers
timely construction and operational waste and debris disposal
use of machines in a good operating condition and mechanisms with adjusted fuel systems
which has been subjected to technical inspection prior to commencement of work.
The Project is planned to include compulsory restoration (recultivation) of temporarily alloted
lands which were disturbed.

needs
fresh water treatment plant, to be further supplied to drinking and service water supply
systems.
Water for the fire water supply system is preferably to be withdrawn from the waters of the
Gulf of Finland. A separate marine water withdrawal point is designed for these purposes.
According to the preliminary calculations, a constant source water supply is expected to be:
for demineralized water production - 80m3/day
for drinking water supply system - 300 m3/day
for service water supply system - 200 m3/day
Total: 2580 m3/day.
The water withdrawal and treatment system is designed for 0.01 m3/sec.
A jacket water system is used to cool vessels of process plants.

3.4.3 Facility's Impact on the Aquatic Environment

The most considerable impact on the environment can be observed during construction period
as this period is devoted to preparation of the site for construction of the Terminal facilities being
designed, construction of roads and other planning operations. This types of work involve violation
of integrity of vegetable ground cover, change (disturbance) in the existing forms of natural terrain
relief, water course/ water basin bed disturbance, changes in water balance items which can impact
on the surface water condition and regime.
During construction, a technogenic impact on surface water bodies can be both direct and
indirect (soil pollution, land clearing, human-induced changes in the relief of slopes and bottomland)
which can lead to changes in runoff generation regularities and the hydrochemical balance.
The impact on the water resources of the area can be resulted from a discharge of treated
wastewater and accidental release of untreated or improperly treated wastewater produced during
facilities construction, petroleum product spills and leaks due to occurrence of an emergency
situation.
Impacts, which are observed during construction and have a temporary adverse effect, mostly
result in water quality deterioration if the water is polluted with petroleum products and other
harmful chemical compounds due to fugitive discharge of pollutants from the construction site.
To collect surface waters from the adjacent area and protect the construction site against
waterlogging (prevent loose rocks from overmoisturizing during their excavation), the Project
provides for construction of intercepting (catch) ditches where water is not subject to technogenic
impacts and is to be drained to the offshore area in a common water outlet manifold together with
treated surface wastewater from construction sites.
To collect polluted surface wastewater during preparatory work for construction of the
Terminal facilities, the Project provides for construction of perimeter ditches along the boundaries of
the sites, including further water removal to wastewater treatment plants, a shungite filtering array.
Surface water is removed from the drainage ditch system in a closed manifold and directed to a
common shore outlet together with treated surface waters to be discharged into Zavalishin Bay.
Treatment of surface waters from separate sites is provided by drainage systems/ditches,
including surface wastewater treatment using a shungite-and-gravel-mixture batter drainage system
with a protective layer made of rocky soil fine fractions, after that the water is discharged to the area
water bodies.
The sorption, catalyst and reduction properties of shungite rock make it possible to clean
wastewater from many organic and non-organic matters (petroleum products, pesticides, phenols,
surface active agents, etc.) Shungite also demonstrates bactericidal properties:
decontaminates water from collibacillus, cleans from organic pollutants. Treated water is
discharged to the nearest water bodies.
The impact of surface water bodies during road construction includes banking and construction
of surface water drainage system. All this can lead to changes in the conditions of existing relief
formation process and generation of new ones. For example, embankments in a certain location will
catch surface run-off water that can be accompanied by overmoisterizing of the road bed and bogging
of adjacent areas. During road construction, a surface water drainage system is provided to protect
the road bed against overmoisterizing and washing out by surface waters. Polluted run-off water is
collected in trays and directed to a reinforced concrete storm-water tank and then to local treatment
plants.

. .. No. .
.
67
. .
.
. .
Places where fuel spills are possible (refueling station for motor vehicle and machinery parking
lot) are provided with a coating resistant to petroleum product exposure.
Construction transport wheel cleaning (washing) stations equipped with a Moydodyr recycling
water system are installed at all exits from the construction sites to prevent pollutants from exporting.
Wheels shall be washed in specially designated areas where the possibility of oil or other substance
entry into the soil and water bodies is excluded.
Work on area planning will have an admissible impact on surface waters providing that the
design solutions and environmental protection measures are strictly observed. This type of impact is
of local and temporary nature.
For the purpose of prevention of environment pollution sanitary waste water produced at
construction sites and temporary establishments are collected to closed sealed tanks and transported
to treatment plant of the camp located within the area of the Teriberka village. Suitable wastewater
treatment plants (treatment includes mechanical treatment, biological treatment, post-treatment by
filtering and UV radiation disinfection) are provided to purify the whole volume of sanitary
wastewater produced during construction. The treated water is supplied to the common manifold and
then discharged into the sea.
The quality of wastewater purified in treatment plants meet the requirements to water quality of
fishery water bodies. This impact is local and temporary and will not change the existing
hydrochemical regime of a water body.
Thus, the main impact on surface water bodies at the Terminal facility construction stage is an
increased removal of suspended substances from the area of planning operations. A set of surface
wastewater drainage and treatment measures is developed to minimize a potential impact.
The impact on the environment will be local and temporary providing that design solutions for
construction and installation work are strictly observed and environmental protection measures are
taken.
Impact on surface waters during operation is less intensive than that one during construction.
The water supply system being designed takes into account peculiarities of facilities, water
consumption rate required at various development stages, water supply sources, requirements to
water head, quality and situation. Technical solutions on water supply and disposal are intended to
meet the needs of the production plant being designed, with account of the process.
No direct impact on water bodies will occur.
Technogenic impact on surface waters during operation of the Facility being designed may be
resulted from improper wastewater handling, including possible wastewater spills in case of an
emergency situation and washing the polluted water out of the production site. Such an impact can
result in changes in the hydrochemical regime and the qualitative composition of waters in water
bodies located at the adjacent area.
For the purpose of environmental pollution prevention, the Project provides for the following
utilities to be used to collect and dispose all categories of wastewater produced at the Terminal
facilities: a sanitary sewage network and a process and storm sewage network.
Reliable collection and disposal of surface wastewater, prevention of fugitive and uncontrolled
wastewater discharges and protection of adjacent areas and underground and surface waters against
pollutions in case of leaks and spills etc. are ensured by suitable sewage systems where wastewater is
classified by the degree of pollution and directed to corresponding treatment plants.
Wastewater treatment process flows provided by the Project ensure a high degree of
wastewater purification up to MPC fishery. Discharge of wastewater is not provided.
Thus, the impact on surface waters is admissible in case of a normal (no-failure) operation of
the facilities and observance of environmental protection measures.
Construction period Underground waters of the area being examined belong to two reservoir
types, a porous reservoir and a naturally fractured reservoir, having contrasting conditions of feeding,
filtration, unloading, and dissolved compound mass transfer. This predefines the differences in the
hydrodynamic and hydrochemical regimes of zonal distribution.
The main impact on underground waters will be resulted from the following types of work:
removal of a loose surface layer at the construction site

crystalline rock breaking

draining the area as a part of preparation for Terminal construction.
The impact will basically affect an upper hydrodynamic zonule. The site grading works will
bring about changes of hydrodynamic conditions, which is related to a removal of quaternary
deposits comprising subterranean waters and crushing of the weatherworn tops of massifs of
Archean rocks. It will entail a decreased share of feeding subadjacent granites due to a decreased
volume of charging them as a result of peat reclamation and surface grading as well as organization
of waters drainage, which seepage to the site territory is possible from the superjacent areas in case
of slopes cutting.
The planned activity can lead to a change of qualitative composition of subterranean waters.
As discussed above, the feeding of subterranean waters due to infiltration of meteorological
precipitation, which will be contaminated with suspended matter in the period of construction. The
measures aimed at the reduction of impact of contaminated runoffs on the surface water bodies will
also contribute to minimized impact on subterranean waters. Besides, the design envisages filling
the sites with made-up ground, which will be used as a filter for the contaminated meteorological
precipitation infiltrated from above.
It should be noted that a change of natural dynamic equilibrium in water balance can bring
about not only the drainage of massifs due to a reduction of infiltration feeding but a waterlogging
of some territories. The upgrade waters formation is possible in the landfilled soil in the areas,
where surface leveling is effected by means of landfill operation. In order to prevent a subsequent
impact of the upgrade waters on the foundations of structures, the landfilling will be effected by
means of highly pervious soil. It can be predicted that no waterlogging will happen with the adopted
design solutions for organization of open drainage system.
It is supposed to excavate soft soils in the valley of creek No.15 in stages with valley dividing
to mining blocks along the creek length. In this case mining operations will deroof the artesian
aquifer confined to sand and boulder-block deposits, wherefore the mining blocks will be flooded
due to ingress of subterranean waters from water-bearing deposits.
The drainage of the surface ensures a preliminary removal of subterranean waters level to the
values safe with respect to conditions of stability of walls and slopes of mining blocks.
A diagram of surface drainage of the water-bearing complex by virtue of the given prediction
calculations using a method of mathematic modeling has been adopted, which corresponds to a
combination of linear rows of dewatering wells arranged within the boundaries for performing
extraction operations: four rows of dewatering wells equipped with filters for sands and boulder
deposits. At that, row No.1 fulfills a role of the protective (safeguarding) against water influx from
the north-western side (Zavalishin Bay). In case of water pumping out of the dewatering wells
practically no water contamination will take place, since the drainage wells correspond to a contour
of a drainage system and are equipped with filters for sands and boulder deposits.
No impact on subterranean waters is expected in the period of operation of Terminal, since
there will be no nonpoint discharges and leakages from the territory. All the streams of runoff
waters will be disposed in accordance with quality and purpose thereof.
3.4.4 Water protective areas and coastal buffer zones
The water protective areas and coastal buffer zones will be established along water bodies in
accordance with the Water Code of RF approved by the resolution of the Government of the
Russian Federation No.74- dated 03.06.2006.
The water protective area of the water body is the territory adjacent to the aquatic area, where a
special mode of economic or other types of activity will get established with the aim of preventing
contamination, clogging, silting and depletion of water body as well as preservation of ecosystem of
animal and vegetal life objects.
Adherence to a special mode in the territory of water protective areas and coastal buffer zones
is the component part of a complex of environmental measures.

economical and other facilities within the boundaries of water protective areas provided such
facilities are equipped with the structures ensuring protection of water bodies against contamination,
clogging and depletion of waters in accordance with water legislation and legislation in the sphere
of environment protection.
According to the Water code (rev.2012) the water protective area for the Bay of Vyborg
(Finland) equals 500 m.
It is necessary to take into account all the requirements of the Water code of RF when
designing facilities in the water protective area.
. .
3.4.5 Measures for protection of surface and subterranean waters for operation period
The measures providing for reasonable utilization and protection of water bodies against
contamination during operation period include:
elimination of discharging of unfiltered and/or insufficiently filtered runoffs;
development and implementation of the complex of environmental protection measures
precluding contamination of water bodies with hydrocarbon-bearing contaminants and chemical
reagents used during operation of facilities;

3.4.7 Findings
The design does not envisage a centralized water supply system. In order to provide the
Terminal personnel with potable and service water the design stipulates water delivery by means of
motor-vehicle transport.
No connection to hot water supply networks is envisaged.
The designing of facility taking into consideration the present environmental situation and
implementation of the envisaged complex of water-control practices is possible and will help
minimize the negative influence on the aquatic resources.
3.5 IMPACT ON PLANT AND ANIMAL LIFE

The main (mechanical) impact on soil mantle will take place during implementation of the
complex of measures on the territory engineering preparation at provision of necessary facilities at
horizontal sites for specified main and auxiliary facilities of the Terminal.

construction (including preparatory) works;

recultivation works on the disturbed soils.
The general types of earthworks in the areas are as follows:
removal of topsoil as well as lift-out, stacking and reuse in case of recultivation of the
disturbed temporary acquisition soils;
excavation of soft soils;
excavation of pits, digging trenches (for underground trenches, foundations) and backfilling
thereof;
grading.
The removed topsoil is planned to be used in all the areas of temporary acquisition soils with
subsequent biological recultivation (restoration) of disturbed soils.
The soil mantle will be disturbed in case of underground laying of water supply, sewerage,
fire-fighting networks, electric cables for 150 kV, 35 kV, 10 kV, electric cables for lighting. The
soil mantle will be disturbed to a lesser extent in case of laying overhead and ground-based gas
pipelines, heat-supply pipelines.
The soil mantle damage will be also related to provision of necessary facilities in the camp.
The camp structures include the following:
residential buildings;
buildings of auxiliary purpose (service/operation blocks);
transportation structures;
warehouses;
production workshops and utility facilities.
The man-induced chemical impact on soils and subsoils is possible at all stages of economic
activity: during construction period, during operation period, and during recultivation of disturbed
soils.
The contamination of soils and subsoils is accompanied by aggravation of hydrophysical and
chemical soil properties, reduction of biological activity and fertility thereof.
The reasons for inflow of contaminating substances into soils and subsoils can be as follows:
violation of storage rules of fuels and lubricants, loose materials and chemical reagents;
emergency spillovers of fuels and lubricants and chemical reagents on the ground surface;
emissions of contaminants during operation of transportation means and special equipment;
formation of unauthorized garbage and wastes dumps during construction and operation of
Terminal facilities and structures.
As a result of design implementation at the territories (lands) adjacent to facilities and
structures there is a risk of emerging new conditions and processes of shaping the soil mantle and
fertility of soils. Basically, this can manifest itself in case of terrain change, variation of
hydrological regime of territories or separate areas and soil water regime.
A probability of possible contamination of adjacent lands appears in the period of Terminal
facilities and structures operation as a result of inflow of contaminated stormwaters and waste drains
from the industrial sites thereupon.

3.5.2 Impact on vegetational cover

A basic impact on the vegetational cover will be effected at the stage of sites preparation for
arrangement of Terminal facilities and structures. The construction and transportation vehicles and
machines, the technical personnel are the sources of impact on the vegetational cover at this stage
.
A complete annihilation of the vegetational cover of the areas being developed in the course
of excavating soft and unstable soils, territory grading shall be attributed to the main types of
negative impact.
Some agricultural lands will be abolished in case of landtakes that will bring about a reduction
of total reserves of the vegetational cover phytomass and decrease of producing area as well as a
possible variation of floristic composition of vegetation at the adjacent territories.
The vegetational cover will be annihilated in the course of development of underground utility
lines.
In case of nonscheduled movement of construction and transportation equipment various local
disturbances and mechanical damages of the vegetational cover beyond the boundaries of allocated
areas.
The impact on the vegetational cover can manifest itself in littering up the adjacent territory
with felling residues, production and household wastes, pollution with fuels and lubricants (in case
of violation of environmental requirements).
The chemical contamination of territory including its peripheral parts can be connected to the
occurrence of emergency situations (both in the period of construction and in the period of
operation).
The main reasons for chemical contamination may be as follows:
leakage of various chemical reagents and process liquids;
drains of service-utility and storm waters from the territories of industrial sites, temporary
residential compounds, etc.;
emissions to atmosphere.
At the stage of finishing development the impact on the vegetational cover will happen,
basically, in case of disorderly equipment movement and carrying out other works outside of the
sites of facilities and structures.
Thus, the impact will be effected on the soil mantle and vegetational cover in the area of about
50 ha in the course of construction of Terminal facilities and structures.
The implementation of complex measures for reduction, mitigation and prevention of negative
impacts on the soil mantle and vegetational cover and restoration (recultivation) of the disturbed
soils will help meet the requirements of legislative and regulatory documents of the Russian
Federation on the sustainable use and conservation of lands and vegetational cover during
construction and operation of Terminal facilities and structures.
. .
. .
3.5.3 Measures for reducing level of impact on soil mantle and vegetational cover
The design provides for the following measures to reduce the impact on the soil mantle and
vegetational cover:
carrying out all construction activities and transport movement strongly within the limits of
right-of-way lands, prohibition of transport movement beyond its boundaries;
ensuring measures for maximum preservation of soil and vegetation cover (selecting
territories for the sites and structures taking into account the soil and vegetation cover, conducting
recultivation activities for restoration of soils disturbed during construction or operation).
In order to reduce impact on the vegetational cover related to a possibility of chemical
contamination of soil mantle and vegetation damage, the following has been envisaged:
preventing cases of spillage and leakage, discharge of unfiltered waste water to the soil
mantle;
separate collection and stacking wastes into special containers or vessels with subsequent
lift-out to the equipped landfills or for recycling;
-80.0-5.4/0.0115-06-
. .. No. .
.
73
maintenance of transportation and construction equipment in specifically allocated places;

arrangement of sites for storing construction materials, nonadmission of territory littering
with debris and contamination with fuels and lubricants.
The minimization of impact on the soil mantle and vegetational cover will be also provided
through adherence to the rules of fire and sanitary safety.
The disturbed plots of land are subject to restoration (recultivation) upon work completion.
3.5.4 Measures for protecting objects of the vegetable world entered into Red Books of
various levels and living environment thereof
The complex of measures developed for reducing the level of impact on the vegetational cover
in general is applicable as well for the sake of protecting plants entered into the Red Books of the
Russian Federation and constituent territories of the Russian Federation. The most important
measures for protecting the red-book plants are as follows: carrying out all construction activities
and transport movement strongly within the limits of right-of-way lands, prohibition of transport
movement beyond its boundaries, nonadmission of territory littering with debris, case of spillage
and leakage of fuels and lubricants, adherence to the rules of fire and sanitary safety. In case of
allocation of land plots for construction it is additionally stipulated to investigate them for the sake
of finding out particular locations of upgrowth of especially valuable vegetation communities and
individual rare species of plants.
. .
. .
3.5.5 Impact on animal life

An impact on fauna of the territory under consideration will take place both during Terminal
facilities construction works and during further operation thereof. A variation of species and quality
composition of mammals especially of agriculturally important species is predicted due to
transformation of inherent biotopes. A considerable impact on the animal life is predicted as a result
of exemption of agricultural lands for construction objects and manifestation of discomfort factor
(DF).
An impact on ichthyofauna is predicted by intersecting water passages as well as by Bolshaya
Pikhtovaya Bay. It will take place, basically, as a result of works on Terminal site preparation,
erection of cross-walks of motor roads and other objects crossing the water courses, construction of
sea deepwater effluent line of filtered waste waters, water intake for construction and other needs. A
negative impact will also be produced by the noise and vibrations produced by the construction and
other equipment.
The following can be attributed to the main impacts on animal life:
transfer of territory for construction objects with complete annihilation of biotopes will take
place over an entire area of land allotment;
manifestation of discomfort factor (within a three-kilometer zone around industrial
facilities, along roads, etc.), noise and vibration produced by machinery, man presence all these
will result in scaring birds and animals away from the places of brooding, in increasing probability
of killing the little ones by carnivores, change of traditional habitat;
death of animals (first of all of small ones) in case of collisions with moving equipment and
other production activities;
death of animals as a result of possible accidents (fires, contamination of water bodies and
soil with chemicals);
restricting animals movement;
poaching (illegal hunting and fishing);
changing sea bottom in the course of construction of sea deepwater effluent line;
contamination of water bodies with waste waters from the construction sites, with industrial
and household wastes;
increasing concentration of matter suspended in water;
death of aquatic organisms as a result of water intake for economic and other needs.
-80.0-5.4/0.0115-06-
. .. No. .
.
74
A period of construction will be universally accompanied for the land birds and mammals, as
a general rule, by the reduction of quantity and abundance of species. The basic reasons for these
are the discomfort factor and increased fishing pressure (including illegal fishing).
The watersheds used for construction feature low numbers of animals; the valleys of rivers,
creeks and banks of lakes are of greater importance.
It should be noted that the calculation of damage from manifestation of discomfort factor will
be effected during construction period only.
A complex of developed environmental protection measures will contribute to minimization of
direct and indirect impact on animal life and preservation of biological diversity of territory under
consideration.
. .
. .
3.5.6 Measures for protecting objects of animal life and habitat thereof, including measures
for protecting aquatic biological resources
The following normative legal documents (or documents replacing them in future) have been
taken into consideration in the course of developing measures for protecting animal life and fish
resources:
Forestry Code No. 200- dated 04.12.2006;
Concerning Fauna (Federal law No.52- dated 24.04.95 as amended as of 29.12.2006);
Requirements on preventing death of animal life objects when effecting production
processes as well as during operation of main transport routes, pipelines, lines of communication
and electric power supply (appr. by resolution of the Government of RF No.997 dated 13.08.96);
Other effective technical standard documents.
It is necessary to provide for the measures ensuring reduction of impact on the animal life in
the course of designing and performing construction works. They include the following:
minimal land transfer for preserving fur and feather habitability conditions;
in order to prevent contamination of water entities and water courses, the residual
materials, structures and construction debris will be cleaned up upon construction completion into
containers specifically allotted for this purpose, or stacked at the sites prepared in advance to be
moved away later on to the existing landfills for neutralization and disposal thereof;
storage of petroleum products in tight vessels;
transfer of construction machinery and means of transportation using specifically
designated roads only;
excluding stationing of builders shelter, assembly and fuelling sites within the limits of
water protection areas;
equipment of water intakes with fish-diversion nets;
limiting quantity of charges detonated simultaneously as approaching a water object, down
to one detonation at the edge of water;
periodic fulfillment of deratization measures for limiting quantities of mouse-like rodents at
the places of builders temporary stationing, since the rodents can become a source of dangerous
zoogenous infections;
excluding cases of poaching through introduction of prohibition by the construction
administration to bring to the construction site territory any tools for cropping animals (weapons,
steel traps, etc.);
excluding probability of fire at the adjacent terrain, strict compliance with fire safety rules;
strong prohibition of dogs loose keeping as well as free keeping of the other domestic
animals;
arrangement of enclosures at the sites.
A complex of environmental protection measures aimed at minimization of direct and indirect
negative impact of the planned works on animal life will contribute to preservation of biological
diversity of the construction site territory.

3.6 Environmental impact during wastes handling

3.6.1 General provisions
This Section is giving consideration to ecological aspects regarding wastes handling in the
course of Terminal facilities construction and operation.
The generated wastes are subdivided into production wastes and consumption wastes which are
irregular in composition and in hazard class.
Production wastes are represented by (1) residues of raw materials, consumables, substances,
products and items generated in the course of production, works execution which totally or partially
lost their initial properties and (2) non-usable by-products newly generated in the course of
production.
Consumption wastes are represented by residues of substances, materials and goods (products)
which partially or totally lost their consumptive properties as a result of personnel activities, use or
operation.
According to RF Ministry of Natural Resources (RF MNR) Order No. 511 dated June 15, 2001
"On Establishment of hazardous wastes environmental risks rating criteria" it has been affirmed that
wastes, with respect to environmental dimension, are subdivided into five hazard classes:
hazard class 1 (extremely hazardous);
hazard class 2 (highly hazardous);
hazard class 3 (moderately hazardous);
hazard class 4 (low-hazardous);
hazard class 5 (virtually non-hazardous);
. .
. .
3.6.2 Wastes index and characteristics

In order to provide proper conditions for uninterrupted Terminal operation it is foreseen to
create pertinent infrastructure within the framework of the project. Generation of wastes is
anticipated at all stages of activities including:
- construction;
- Object operation.
Each of aforementioned stages assumes generation of wide range of wastes for which particular
methods of collection and disposal should be envisaged.
Taking into account the fact that at the stage of design documentation development stage it is
impossible to perform proper chemical analysis of wastes which may be generated in the course of
production activities it is agreed that compositional analysis of the entire wastes index will be done
based on methodological instructive regulations, product and raw materials Specifications and with
reference to similar projects data.
Waste hazard class is defined according to Federal Classificatory Catalogue of Wastes (FCCW)
approved by RF MNR Order No. 786 dated 02.12.2002 entitled "On Approval of Federal
Classificatory Catalogue of Wastes" as reworded by RF MNR Order No. 663 entitled "On Additions
to FCCW" dated July 30, 2003.

3.6.3 Activities providing mitigation of negative wastes impact on the environment

The following wastes handling requirements should be observed during Terminal construction
and operation:
- technological norms stipulated in the design decisions;
- general and specific environment protection requirements and activities based on applicable
ecological and health and hygiene rules and standards.
In general, wastes collection and accumulation should be carried out in accordance with types,
physical aggregate condition, fire-explosion characteristics and other properties and in conformity
with pertinent class of hazard.
Joint accumulation of different types of wastes is allowed where there is a unified wastes
recycling, disposal and decontamination procedure established and where wastes are compatible as
per their chemical or other properties.
Wastes should be disposed and used with intended purposes or laced in specially allocated
areas approved by local environment protection authorities and health and hygiene supervision
bodies.
Wastes accumulation should be carried out in a way enabling unobstructed loading of each
individual waste item onto the truck and further moving out of the territory.

3.8 Data regarding sanitary protection zone

According to Sanitary Rules and Regulations (SanPiN) 2.2.1/2.1.1.1200-03 entitled "Sanitary
protection zones and sanitary classification of enterprises, facilities and other objects" (New edition),
objects producing environmental impact require elaboration of sanitary protection zone size
substantiation project.
Boundaries of sanitary protection zone are fixed from source of chemical, biological and/or
physical impact or from the boundary of land plot owned by industrial enterprise or object for the
purpose of economic activities and registered in accordance with the established procedure (industrial
site). Therefore, sanitary protection zone is a compulsory component of each object producing
environmental impact (outside industrial site of which the pollution levels exceed 0.1 of Maximum
Permissible Concentration (MPC) and/or Maximum Permissible Level (MPL)).
Criterion to fix the size of sanitary protection zone is non-exceeding (on its external boundary
and outside the latter) of MPC of polluting elements in atmospheric air of residential areas and MPL
of physical impact on atmospheric air.
According to its functional use the sanitary protection zone performs as a protective barrier
providing proper population safety level during Object operation under normal conditions.
Nearest residential territory (Vysotsk) is located 2500 m away. Within approximate C33
boundary there are no residential buildings.
Pollutants dissipation pattern was calculated and sanitary protection zone boundaries were
established for the Terminal
with reference to chemical factor and sanitary protection zone was defined with reference to
physical impact factors pursuant to the design solutions.
According to sanitary classification set forth in new SanPiN Edition 2.2.1/.2.1.1.1200-03 this
enterprise may be referred to hazard class I with estimated size of sanitary protection zone amounting
to 1000 meters.
Size of estimated sanitary protection zone is maintained in all directions.
Sanitary protection zone boundary is displayed in the layout (Appendix 1 hereto).
Based on work performed, pursuant to town-planning situation, with consideration of
atmospheric air pollution and with reference to physical (noise) impact level the following was
revealed:
estimated size of sanitary protection zone for the Terminal under design amounting,
according to SanPiN 2.2.1/.2.1.1.1200-03 (new edition) 1000 meters has been duly observed. Within
estimated sanitary protection zone boundaries there are no residential buildings, recreation zones etc.
whose location in the zone is inadmissible according to item 5.1 of SanPiN 2.2.1/.2.1.1.1200-03.
analysis of calculations of pollutant -in-atmospheric air emissions dissipation revealed
that maximum concentration on the estimated boundary of enterprise sanitary protection zone is not
exceeding 0.1 of MPC as per entire pollutants under analysis;
analysis of calculations of accumulated noise impact from entire sources on the boundary
of estimated sanitary protection zone and residential zone territory revealed that calculated noise
levels do not exceed normative requirements of SN 2.2.4/2.1.8.562-96 for day and night time.
Proceeding from calculation results regarding pollutants concentrations and physical impact
(noise levels) on the boundary of estimated zone (1000 meters) it has been established that there
is no excessive enterprise impact on environment and on residential area.

4. MITIGATION OF PROBABLE EMERGENCY SITUATIONS AND

IMPACTS
13.1 Analysis of basic accident sources
Operation of LNG processing, liquefying, handling and loading Terminal is associated with
handling of considerable volumes of hazardous substances most part of which is represented by
combustible gases. Besides, in order to provide technological support there are products and auxiliary
materials (highly flammable and combustible substances) which are produced, stored and handled
within the Terminal. Accidents probability within the technological facilities of the Terminal is
stipulated first of all by explosive and combustible nature of these hazardous substances and,
secondly, by considerable installed power capacity.
Basic factors which may affect the possibility of accident occurrence and propagation are:
nature of loads and impacts to which the facility is subjected;
low working liquids temperature;
considerable pipelines length;
high energy intensity;
long service life periods stipulated by the design;
impact from neighbouring facilities and communication lines;
anthropogenic factors;
climatic, hydrogeological/, seismic and other environmental conditions.
. .
. .
Factors giving rise to accidents occurrence and

propagation.
Presence of considerable amount of equipment, pipelines
and vessels handling large volumes of substances classified
as fire hazardous products which may potentially cause
explosion or inflammation, mechanical and thermal
destruction of equipment, produce impact on neighbouring
plants and generate hazardous gas accumulation zones.
2.Equipment and pipelines operating under pressure are
withstanding wide range of vibration loads, high stresses
caused by internal pressure and considerable concentration
of stresses in pipe-valve connection points which factors
are extra risks of destruction.
Defects of pipes and fittings, fatigue damage of metal,
automation or electrical equipment failure also constitute
considerable danger from the viewpoint of destruction.
4.Failure of trip automation, shutoff and safety valves.
Probable accident sources.

Loss of containment or destruction of technological
equipment, pipelines, fittings due to manufacturing defects,
mechanical damage, corrosion, defective civil and erection
works etc.
Failure to timely detect the equipment or pipeline defect and

to take remedial measures.
Hazardous substances leakage due to untight flange

connections of pipelines and equipment, failure or
unauthorized installation of cut-off valves on technological
lines due to design defects or unsatisfactory condition of
equipment.
The Terminal is operating in condition of considerable
Personnel faults during technological process management:
environmental impacts which may inflict damage to
disturbance of equipment and control system operation,
structures or cause their failure when they respond to such operating of defective emergency protections, non-observance
conditions.
of safety regulations stipulated by work schedules and safety
instructions, use of spark generating equipment or open fire in
gas-hazardous zones.

. .
13.3 Assessment of accident environmental impact

Impact in atmospheric air
Typical accidents occurring on gas processing and producing facilities are connected mainly
with depressurization of equipment, pipelines and storage vessels, release of hydrocarbons to
atmosphere and propagation of spillage, fire and explosions.
Most hazardous accident propagation scenarios on LNG production, storage and handling
facilities are:
- hydrocarbon gas leakage and "jet flame" burning;
- explosions of air-vapour mixtures;
- spillages and spillage fires.
- spillage of fuel and lubricants.
Main impact on air basin condition during accidents is inflicted in the form of atmospheric air
contamination by pollutant emissions from sources located at the site of Terminal.
In order to define accidental emissions impact on atmospheric air the calculation was
performed with the use of "Ecologist" unit (based on Unified Program of air pollution estimation,
version 3.0) aiming to determine pollutants dissipation pattern (calculation is included in Book 3.
Environment impact assessment. Appendices).
Impact on water objects
Highest impact on water environment during accidents is produced when hazardous pollutants
are entering water. Most harmful consequences for the environment occurring at onshore facilities
are associated with spillages of hydrocarbon-containing pollutants caused by hydrocarbons release
during technological operations, offloading, storage and due to accidents. Spillage probability and
scale assessment should facilitate substantiation of accident prevention measures included in the
project as its ecological safety element.
Accidental pollution of water objects at construction phase may be caused by sewage/wastes
accumulation vessels destruction and by oil and lubricants washed-off from construction sites by
precipitations.
Accidents resulting in spillage of sewage wastes, hydrocarbon-contaminated effluents and
other harmful pollutants require prompt notification of personnel and instant execution of pollution
source elimination activities, localization of damaged area and collecting of pollutants spread on the
surface.
Accidental situation is monitored by means of low temperature sensors installed emergency
spillage collectors.
Collectors volume is designed to accept required volume of liquid and foam at accidental
situation.
Equipment containing explosion/fire hazardous and toxic substances is installed in trays
designed to localize any probable spillage.

. .
.
. .
Emergency discharge of fire/explosion hazardous substances is foreseen in order to decrease

potential hazard for technological assembly units during accident. Vapour phase discharge is
performed with the use of emergency pressure release valves towards continuously operating torch
system.
Closed circuit represented by sealed pipelines and vessels system is designed to collect
drainages of equipment containing fire/explosion hazard liquids. The drainage vessels provide
separation of vapour and liquid phases. Vapours are further delivered for incineration to the torch
units. Hydrocarbon liquids are delivered for afterburning.
Observance of safety regulations, works schedules, design solutions and equipment monitoring
requirements are most appropriate accident prevention measures.
Impact on soil mantle and land
Technological operations may cause negative impacts on soils adjoining the operating objects.
Such impacts may be inflicted by spillage of hydrocarbons, methanol, diesel fuel, oil and lubricants.
Methanol, like any other alcohol product, belongs to sterilizing substances and may suppress soil
bacteria which are facilitating destruction of organic matter. Earth moving and temporary site
buildings demounting works may cause ingress of pollutants into soil and subsoil.
Reasons of such ingress are:
non-observance of oil/lubricants, bulk materials and chemicals storage regulations;
emergency spillage of oil/lubricants and chemicals on the ground;
pollutants emission by vehicles and construction machines;
formation of unauthorized garbage and waste dumps during construction and operation
of objects and facilities.
Most drastic accident consequences are represented by oil/lubricants spillage because volatile
aromatic hydrocarbons are easily decomposed and removed from soils. Diesel fuel decomposition is
a very slow process because components destruction is inhibited by each other and transformation of
particular components is leading to formation of components resistant to oxidation etc.
Impact on biological resources
Explosion of vapour-air mixture may cause direct (animals death, contusions etc.) and indirect
(frightening away from parturiating, breeding and feeding areas etc.) harmful impact on wild animals
inhabiting the territory under consideration.
In the event of fire mainly impacted are invertebrate animals, small mammals, amphibia and
reptiles and (where accident is taking place during breeding period) eggs batches, small birds and
animals.
Wildlife habitat areas will be strongly impacted and their properties (feeding, protective) even
denaturalized.
Spillage of oil and lubricants affects mostly insects and soil invertebrates.
Considerable impact will be inflicted to wildlife habitat areas. Ingress of oil and lubricants in
water basins may cause extermination of ichthyofauna.
Impact on construction site fauna in the event of accident will be local and may not
considerably affect on wildlife of region under consideration in general.

5 PROGRAM OF PRODUCTION ECOLOGY MONITORING (PEM) FOR

ECOSYSTEM COMPONENTS TRANSFORMATION TAKING PLACE
DURING CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF THE OBJECT
Environmental survey of Terminal territory enables the researchers to obtain information
regarding pollution level, production works influence and make assessment of ecological situation
and its development, estimate the necessity of environment protection and recovery activities in
respect of particular environment components.
Examination of soils, water objects, bottom deposits, subsoil waters, atmospheric air and noise
level enable the researcher to define terrain pollution degree.
Environmental survey should be performed in accordance with applicable legislation and
regulatory documents.
Terminal monitoring is fulfilled in several phases:
First (preliminary) phase - development of ecology monitoring project including definition and
establishment of environment component sampling check points with account to: terrain profile,
drainage characteristics of soil, vegetation mantle and arrangement of facilities under design on
Object territory.
Second (production) phase - sampling of environment components (atmospheric air, soils and
subsoils, bottom deposits, surface and subterranean waters, noises). Each sample is provided with
accompanying tag in which information regarding sample number, date etc. is entered. Samples are
delivered for laboratory check. Laboratory should hold official accreditation by RF State Standard.
Unauthorized change of sampling points, variation of monitoring periodicity and parameters is
inadmissible.
Third (final) phase - obtained results of physical-chemical and microbiological analyses enable
the researcher to assess the condition of territory under monitoring and present a report which allows
to estimate environment protection activities.
According to Set of Rules 2.1.7.1038-01 the Terminal Operator should develop regulations and
instructions regarding receiving, storage and processing of wastes with account to environment
protection requirements. As set forth in item 5.6 of the aforementioned document - Terminal
maintenance personnel should perform, on decade basis, visual monitoring of sanitary protection
zone for pollution.
. .
. .
5.1 Tasks of the monitoring

Ecology monitoring includes:
obtaining of primary measurement data regarding pollution and ecological condition of
environment components under monitoring;
obtaining (on the basis of measurement data) of comprehensive environment condition
assessment with account to applicable norms and limitations regarding use of natural resources,
sanitary-hygienic norms and regulations and other regulations stipulated by Federal and territorial
authorities;
analysis of current ecological situation and forecasting of its development with the use of
mathematical modelling;
reliable and timely submission of monitoring results to interested users, environment
protection units employees and managers of operational units employed at oil field development
facilities, accumulation and storage of data during for any length of time, provision of data access on
request of the user in appropriate format;
information support during scheduled and emergency situations etc.
During operation of objects under design the following environment components are
monitored:
atmospheric air;
surface waters;
subterranean waters;
-80.0-5.4/0.0115-06-

soil mantle;
vegetation mantle;
wildlife;
geological environments.
Monitoring is performed by means of automatically controlled stationary posts obtaining
information from measuring facilities - ground observation points, by reconnaissance surveys and by
remote observation facilities. All data obtained in the course of Production Ecology Monitoring
(PEM) are loaded into database and presented in the form of cards and summaries. Unfavourable
ecological processes are monitored over a distance up to 1 km away from Terminal boundaries.
. .
. .
5.2 Monitoring of atmospheric air

Monitoring of atmosphere is aimed to assess dynamics of air condition variation at all phases
of Terminal operation in order to develop environment mitigation procedures.
Monitoring of atmosphere will be aimed to observe current air condition, to assess pollution
forecasts and work out pollution decreasing measures in proximity to objects under design.
Recommendations regarding organization of monitoring of emissions to atmosphere generated
by objects under design, classification of pollution sources, periodicity and parameters monitoring
techniques are set forth in GOST 7.2.3.02-78, Directives for air pollution monitoring (RD
52.04.186-89) and Guidance Manual: calculation, regulating and monitoring of pollutants emission
to atmosphere, Saint Petersburg, 2005.
Monitoring techniques and facilities are established as set forth in document entitled
Measurement methods of pollutants concentration in industrial enterprises emissions.
Emissions monitoring is performed by third party entities on contractual basis.
Selection of particular sources of pollution subject to continuous monitoring is the principal
task of production monitoring organization.
Simultaneously with air sampling it is required to check meteorological parameters like
direction, pressure and humidity of air.
In unfavourable weather conditions and during accidental emissions followed by considerable
rise of pollutants concentration in atmosphere it is expected that sampling frequency will be
increased.
Monitoring of atmospheric air condition includes two types of measurements:
- measurements on main air pollution sources;
- measurements in points selected within sanitary protection zone boundary
It is recommended to perform monitoring of Maximum Permissible Emissions (MPE) with
reference to air pollution measured in particularly selected points.
The laboratory monitoring includes:
- monitoring of air condition within Terminal territory and at the boundary
of sanitary protection zone.
Monitoring system should first of all provide for definition of pollutants concentrations and
referencing of data obtained with rated values.
According to GOST 17.2.3.02-78 - definition of emission volumes requires, essentially, direct
measurement of pollutant concentrations and gas-air mixture volumes directly in the points of
pollutant emission to atmosphere. Where direct measurements are impossible it is acceptable to use
balance, technological or any other technique of emission measurements.
In order to obtain information regarding air pollution around the object it is required to place
the monitoring posts in areas where air is affected by technogenic emissions and may be, therefore,
polluted and on sanitary protection zone boundary. The posts should be arranged in open areas with
dustless surface (asphalt or solid soil) and aerified from all directions . At that, consideration should
be given to frequency character of wind for the terrain under monitoring (RD 52.04.186-89
Guidance for atmosphere pollution monitoring). Reference sites are arranged in areas which are
not withstanding anthropogenic impact.

.
96
. .
. .
Monitoring should be organized in Terminal territory and on sanitary protection zone (SPZ)
boundary. Distance between pollutant emitting production facilities is not large therefore only one
sampling point within Terminal territory is provided.
Frequency of atmospheric air monitoring in Terminal territory and SPZ boundary in the course
of the year - once every quarter (March, June, September and December) (Set of Rules 2.1.7.103801).
Monitoring system should provide for continuous observation of air condition. For this purpose
it is required to analyze samples of air taken over the Terminal territory and on SPZ boundary for
content of hazardous pollutants associated with biochemical decomposition of technical and
residential wastes.
In order to measure ground level concentration of pollutants in atmosphere samples are taken at
a height of 1.5-3.5 meters above the ground surface; duration of sampling aimed to determine onetime concentration of pollutant is 20-30 minutes. Atmospheric air is sampled with the use of aspirator
pump and contained in 10 liters PTFE bags duly sealed to avoid condensation of moisture (RD
52.04.186-89. Guidance for atmosphere pollution monitoring. - L.: Gidrometizdat, 1991). Sample is
provided with accompanying tag and delivered to the laboratory for analysis. Simultaneously with
that it is required to continue performing meteorological monitoring of wind (direction and speed)
and weather conditions.
Arrangement of monitoring posts is given in Table 5.2.1.

5.3 Monitoring of surface WATERS

Monitoring of surface water condition within the territory of Terminal under design should be
undertaken in surface source upstream and downstream the Terminal.
It allows to detect surface wastes contamination, take timely elimination measures and fulfill
environment protection activities.
Quantitative composition of surface waters is monitored to detect physical-chemical
characteristics like content of ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, hydrocarbons, calcium, chlorides, iron,
sulphates, lithium, chemical oxygen demand (COD), biological oxygen demand (BOD), oil and oil
products, , magnesium, cadmium, chrome, cyanides, lead, mercury, arsenic, copper, barium, dry
residues; samples helminthological and bacteriological characteristics are also checked (Set of Rules
2.1.7.1038-01). Since Terminal operation excludes emission of pollutants into surface waters it is
expected that monitoring should be performed twice every year: in spring (after loss of snow) cover
and in summer ( at maximum air temperature).
Surface water monitoring points (intake points) are arranged in water basins and passageways
subjected to pollution from industrial objects and located downstream pollution emitting objects
(GOST 17.1.3.12-86).
Intake point is understood as a deemed cross section of water basin or passageway in which
water measurement works are performed.
Upstream intake is installed upwards of industrial objects at a distance which excludes
pollutants ingress; this allows to obtain baseline value of passageway water condition. Intake points
downstream the source (sources) of anthropogenic impact are selected with account to complete
environmental complex stipulating pollutants propagation in water passageway (Methodological
guidelines..., 1984; GOST 17.1.3.07-82).
Sampling (minimum volume 3 dm3) is made with the use of bathometer or bottle with plug
which is fixed to the pole or provided with additional weight and rope. Preparation of sampling
vessels enabling chemical composition analysis is made as per GOST R 51592-2000. In order to
obtain reliable results it is required to analyze water in short time period. If it is impossible provision
should be made for preservation as per GOST R 51592-2000. Each sample should be registered as
per: date and place of sampling, number and geographic coordinates of sampling points, depth, type
and number of sample (single-point, unified)
5.4 Bottom deposits

Bottom deposits accumulating pollutants expose anthropogenic impact on surface waters and
may become the source of their repeated contamination. Therefore, bottom deposits are measured
aiming to outline the zone of propagation of particular pollutants, to define character, degree and
-80.0-5.4/0.0115-06-
. .. No. .
.
98
depth of ingress of particular pollutants into bottom deposits and to analyse self-purification
behaviour (GOST 17.1.5.01-80).
Bottom deposits are sampled as per GOST 17.1.5.01-80 Environment protection.
Hydrosphere. General requirements to bottom deposits sampling in water objects for pollution
analysis with the use of special equipment (PE bags, minimum volume - 1l). Where there is
propagation of pollutants (oil, oil products) on the surface and it is necessary to define the actual
degree of pollution it is required to take sample from the surface of bottom deposit simultaneously
with water sampling (especially from near bottom layer) in order to compare pollutant content in
these components.
Quantitative composition of bottom deposits is monitored as per physical-chemical
characteristics like total iron, zinc, manganese, chrome, lead, mercury, nickel, copper, , organic
substance, sulphates, chlorides, toxicity, oil and oil products.
Assessment of bottom deposits pollution in area under examination should be performed on the
basis of physical-chemical analysis data comparison with values obtained during engineeringecological survey.
Increased concentrations of pollutant under examination require repeated sampling in this
point. Validation of increased pollutant concentration requires execution of detailed examination to
reveal the cause of contamination.
Information regarding increased concentration of pollutant in the samples, accident location
and remedial activities should be transmitted to pertinent environment protection authorities.
Accident localization and elimination measures should be fulfilled according to applicable company
regulations.
Monitoring frequency is same with surface waters; sampling points are the same.
. .
. .
5.5 Monitoring of subsurface waters

In coordination with hydrogeological service, local sanitary-epidemiological and environment
protection authorities it is required to design the layout of check holes, pits and boreholes in order to
perform monitoring of subsurface waters depending on their location depth.
Samples of water taken from check holes, pits and boreholes drilled out on subsurface water
course upstream the Terminal constitute reference condition of waters. On subsurface water course
downstream the Terminal (at 50-100 meters interval provided that there is no hazard of pollution
from other sources) it is required to drill out 1-2 pits (check holes, boreholes) for water sampling. 2-6
meter deep pits should be done with the use of ferroconcrete pipes (diameter 700-900 mm) to the
level 0.2 meters below subsurface water level. Filter bottom consists of 200 thick layer of crushed
stone. Access to the pit is provided with the use of stationary stepladder. Where subsurface waters
depth is large it is required to perform monitoring with the use of boreholes. Design of facilities
should provide protection of subsurface waters from pollutants ingress, possibility of water draining
or pumping out and sampling convenience.
Monitoring of subsurface waters consists in one-time level and temperature measurements and
sampling for physical-chemical and bacteriological characteristics analysis as per item 7.7 of Set of
Rules 2.1.7.1038-01. This kind of supervision allows to detect pollutants migration caused by
defective waterproofing of industrial and domestic wastes storage sections.
Subsurface water samples are taken as per GOST R 51592-2000 Water. General sampling
requirements once every quarter (March, June, September, December).
Quantitative composition of subsurface waters is monitored as per physical-chemical
characteristics like content of ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, hydrocarbons, calcium, chlorides, iron,
sulphates, lithium, chemical oxygen demand (COD), biological oxygen demand (BOD), oil and oil
products, , magnesium, cadmium, chrome, cyanides, lead, mercury, arsenic, copper, barium, dry
residues; samples helminthological and bacteriological characteristics are also checked (Set of Rules
2.1.7.1038-01).
Tasks of monitoring investigations are:
timely detection of subsurface and surface waters contamination;
-80.0-5.4/0.0115-06-
. .. No. .
.
99
investigation of waters contamination scales and dynamics in time and area, i.e.
determination of contamination propagation direction;
definition of contamination sources and timely elimination of their negative impact;
obtaining of proper reference information aiming to forecast subsurface water levels
variation and pollutants propagation.
Arrangement and number of specially drilled out observation boreholes is established
according to SNiP 2.01.28-85:
with reference to underflow slope the observation holes should be arranged in three
directions (exclusion - upstream direction);
distance between observation holes within the intake should be 50 to 100 meters; one
borehole in Terminal territory, one borehole in SPZ.
Quality of subsurface water is monitored with the use of observation boreholes arrangement in
areas anticipating potential impacts from facilities under construction (check sites) and in areas not
affected by anthropogenic impact (reference sites).
Monitoring be means of observation wells includes systematic (one-time, if applicable)
measurement of water level and temperature and water sampling for chemical analysis made on
monthly basis.
During subsurface water monitoring the observation network may be detailed or modified
depending on the results. Sampling frequency and number of chemical components under
measurement may also be varied.
Chemical analyses should be performed by certified laboratories only.
. .
. .
5.6 Monitoring of soils, vegetation and wildlife

Purpose of soil monitoring is observation and evaluation of soil condition under the impact of
operation of facility under design.
Monitoring of land fertility preservation should begin before construction commencement. It
consists in recording of soil reference characteristics. Soil potentiality index is characterized by
relatively stable and slowly varying soil qualities directly or indirectly influencing the productivity of
tundra communities and determining their biospheric functions.
System of indices should be dynamic. It is determined by the types of soils, by anthropogenic
impact character and data available.
Selected indices should directly or indirectly characterize soil properties and factors which to
the maximum extent influence soil productivity and have integrated character. Each of selected
integrated indices should reliably reflect a definite complex of interconnected properties and modes.
Forwarded indices should be accessible for soil-testing laboratories of the Federal body
responsible for monitoring and supervision in the sphere of land resources and soil mantle, for
agrochemical survey centers and other production laboratories.
Definition of soils reference values is performed during engineering-geological survey. During
soil survey samples of soils referenced to particular profile cuts are selected for the purpose of
definition of taxonomic status and potentiality of soils to be analyzed for: humus, , cathion
exchange capacity (CEC), degree of base saturation, texture and contamination level.
Quantitative composition of soils is monitored as per below listed physical-chemical indices:
copper, zinc, chrome, nickel, manganese, nitrites, nitrates, hydrocarbonates, , cyanides, lead,
arsenic, oil and oil products; besides, the soil mantle is analyzed for microbiological indices like:
total bacterial counts, coli titer, Proteus titer, helminth eggs (Set of Rules 2.1.7.1038-01).
Sampling for chemical and microbiological analysis is performed once a year (September).
Monitoring of heavy metals pollution - minimum once every three years (GOST 17.4.4.02-84).
In accordance with GOST 17.4.4.02-84 Soils. Methods of samples taking and preparation for
chemical, bacteriological and helminthological analysis check site dimension depends on
investigation purpose:
- for definition of chemical substances content and physical properties of soil it should be 10
x10 meters;
- for microbiological analysis - 30 x 30 meters.
-80.0-5.4/0.0115-06-
. .. No. .
.
100
. .
.
. .
Permafrost table level should be also monitored.

Sampling is performed with the use of boring tool or spade using envelope method; sample
depth depends on soil condition; for territories with undisturbed soil mantle - from soil horizons
depending on soil types.
In each case the sample should include a part of soil typical for generic horizons or soils of this
type. In order to exclude repeated contamination it is required to clean out the surface of soil cut or
trench wall by PE or PVC knife or plastic spattle. Sampling should be performed by clean tool not
containing metal.
For each layer it is required to prepare a unified, 1 kg, sample by mixing of five check point
samples each minimum 200 grams placed in PE bag and tagged (GOST 17.4.3.01-83).
In order to perform microbiological analysis it is required to take 10 unified samples consisting
of 3 check point samples (GOST 17.4.3.01-83) which should be placed in cooling box and
immediately delivered to laboratory for analysis (GOST 17.4.4.02-84).
Assessment of soil mantle pollution in area under examination should be performed on the
basis of physical-chemical analysis data comparison with values obtained during assessment of
reference environmental conditions.
Information regarding increased concentration of pollutant in the samples and accident
mitigation activities should be transmitted to pertinent environment protection authorities.
Monitoring of vegetation is designed to investigate response of particular vegetation and their
communities to disturbance and contamination caused by activities under panning.
Botanical monitoring is performed with the use of floristic, geo-botanical, bio logomorphological and agrotechnical methods.
Monitoring of vegetation is performed by observation of vegetation mantle propagation in
check sites and reference sites. Check sites are arranged in areas characterized by typical vegetation
communities affected by technogenic impact. Reference sites are arranged in areas with similar
vegetation which is not affected by technogenic impact.
Two neighbouring test sites ("a" and "b", 10 x 10 meters) with approximately similar
vegetation mantle are arranged in each monitoring point.
During vegetation lists compilation it is necessary to take into account storied structure and
projective cover degree within entire area under investigation. Test area "" is designed for
observation of vegetation mantle structural variation:
vascular plants, mosses, lichens, fungus;
frequency index of each vegetation within the site (%);
projective cover of vegetation and of its particular stories;
height of dominating vegetation types;
phenological phase.
Neighbouring test site "b" is designed for observation of vegetation mantle functional variation.
Vegetation species composition is recorded and samples of particular plants are taken for
morphometric and chemical study. Productivity of vegetation community is assessed. For this
purpose it is required to select 4 (50 x 50 cm) test square areas from which entire phytomass
(including mosses and lichens) should be cut out of the soil level, dried and weighed according to
plants groups (mosses, lichens, copse, grass). Weight proportion of plant groups is defined.
Phytocenosis saturation or density is defined by direct calculation of all vascular plants on the
specified sites (rogues / meter); mean height of one species is also defined (minimum 100
measurements).
Plant samples are taken for heavy metals and aromatic hydrocarbons content test (minimum
400 grams of dry weight).
Mosses and lichens are good indicators of environment contamination by heavy metals and are
very sensitive to sulphur compounds. In each observation point 4-5 samples of different plants are
taken for heavy metals (arsenic, mercury, aluminum, lead, copper, cadmium, chrome, nickel, zinc,
barium) and aromatic hydrocarbons content test. Gathering of materials for metals and other
pollutants content tests is performed on annual basis.

101
Results of first year of observations (vegetation maps, morphometric characteristics, chemical

composition of plants) will constitute reference data for further monitoring.
Next description of vegetation is done 2 years later with definition of vegetation community
reproductivity and dominating plants ratio; general plant sample is taken for chemical composition
and contamination analysis.
One of the basic tasks of wildlife monitoring consists in observation of key territories occupied
by animals and located within Terminal impact zone.
Wildlife monitoring is based on stationary examination with annual count of nestling bird
couples, small mammals and other vertebrata on check sites and in proximity to them. For additional
data regarding birds types and number it is possible to organize route counting.
Observations are undertaken by comparing number and types of birds in check and reference
sites having similar landscape characteristics. These sites have 1 km2 area and are located in
vegetation monitoring plaes. The following animals are selected as wildlife condition indicators:
jackrabbits, carnivorous mammals, hoofed mammals, birds (with exclusion of passeriformes).
Monitoring consists in walk-over of territories, selected areas with recording of types and
number of animals encountered, alterations in their behavior and dead species.
Count is performed, as applicable, as per permanently dwelling couples, leking or twittering
males (partridge, wader, passeriformes), broods or disturbed birds. Count results are fixed in
monitoring site maps; scale 1:1000. To improve mapping accuracy it is possible to use additional
reference points presented in the form of tagged props arranged in staggered order at a distance 100
meters from each other.
Linear counts should be done on permanent routes with alternating detecting corridor.
Alongside with count works it is possible to gather biologic materials generated by different types of
animals for laboratory tests.
Species composition, number and biological materials of mammals are established and
gathered in the following way: recording of traces of vital activities; trapping by span traps and cones
on reference and check sites, dig-out of burrows.
Wild animals are examined once every year.
. .
. .
5.7 Monitoring of landscape and exogenic geological processes

As a rule, territory development is followed by anthropogenic environmental destruction:
disturbance of soils temperature balance and thermal condition; disturbance of water balance and
moisture condition of soils, disturbance of soil stress state. All this results in activization of natural
processes like thermokarst and heaving .
Factors which produce environment change are: disturbance of subsurface and surface flow by
embankments, land planning, scalping. Ground water rise results in mire formation.
Environmental destruction by technogenic impact gives rise to processes which are not typical
to ordinary natural conditions. Thus, removal of topsoil in construction areas results in seasonal
freezing depth increase. In this condition soils humidity increase may lead to frost heaving.
Therefore, it is required to perform monitoring of newly occurring or aggravating exogenic
processes.
Monitoring should consist of two basic components:
- observation of current condition of process under investigation and its development factors;
- analysis of process dynamics.
It is recommended (on regular (monthly) basis in warm period) examine condition of object
and neighbouring areas aiming to detect hazardous exogenic processes in order to timely take
environment protection measures.
Particular monitoring of exogenic geological processes should include detection of possible
heave areas, winterkilling or mire formation.

5.8 onitoring of noise impact

Noise is understood as any undesired sound or sounds ensemble. Hygienic assessment of noise
should take into account its disturbing, harmful or traumatic impact on human body. Physical
characteristic of sound level - sound pressure level measured in dB.
Sounds with low and high frequency seem to be more silent than medium frequency sounds of
the same intensity. In view of this, irregular sensitivity of human ear to different frequency sounds is
modulated with the use of special electronic frequency filter obtaining, as a result of measurements
normalizing, a so-called "equivalent" ("measured, by energy) sound level measured in dBA (dB(),
i.e. with "A" filter).
Noises, with reference to spectrum characteristics, are classified as follows:
- wide band noise - with continuous spectrum of more that 1 octave bandwidth;
- tonal noise - its spectrum contains pronounced tones. For practical purpose, tonal character of
noise is defined by measurement (in 1/3 octave bands) of frequencies exceeding the neighbouring
band by minimum 10 dB.
Noises, with reference to time characteristics, are classified as follows:
- steady state noise - noise level during 8-hours working day or during measurement in
residential and public buildings, in residential development territory changes in time by maximum 5
dBA (measurements taken with noise meter time characteristic slowly);
- unsteady state noise - noise level during 8-hours working day or during measurement in
residential and public buildings, in residential development territory changes in time by more than 5
dBA (measurements taken with noise meter time characteristic slowly);
Unsteady state noises are divided into:
- fluctuating - sound level is continuously varying in time;
- intermittent - sound level is varying stepwise (by 5 dBA and more), at that, duration of
intervals during which the sound level remains continuous, is 1 second and more;
- impulse - comprising one or more sounds each lasting for less than 1 second, at that, sound
levels dBA1 and dBA measured at time characteristics impulse and slowly differ by minimum 7
dB.
Noise measurements should be made in minimum three uniformly spaced points of the work
zone in order to cover as maximum of its space as possible. Measurement points should be located
maximum 20 meters from each other at a distance 2 meters from the walls ( 1844-78).
Noise measurements are performed by specially trained personnel or by licensed contractor
with the use of noise meters as per GOST 17187-71, octave band filters as per GOST 17168-71 and
auxiliary equipment (level recorders, tape recorders etc.) which should be duly verified and hold
pertinent certificate. Furnishing of measurement results is made according to regulations of company
executing this type of works.
Noise measurement is made at a height of 1.2-1.5 meters above the surface of Terminal
territory. Test microphone should be directed to main source of noise impact and located minimum
0.5 meters from the operator. If it is impossible to define the main source of noise it is required to
position axis of test microphone perpendicularly to Terminal territory surface (GOST 23337- 78).

. .. No. .
.
103
. .
. .
Duration of steady state noise measurement should be minimum 3 minutes. In each point it is
required to make minimum 3 sound level samplings (octave levels of the sound pressure).
Measurement of noise in the open territory may not be held in condition of precipitations or
wind over 5 m/s. With wind velocity between 1 and 5 m/s it is required to use a microphone wind
protecting screen .
During noise measurements it is not allowed to subject measuring equipment to vibration,
magnetic and electric fields, radioactive radiation and other adverse factors which may affect
measurement results.
For hygienic assessment of noises - practically interesting is sound range 45 -11000 Hz which
includes eight octave bands with geometric mean frequencies 63, 125, 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 4000
and 8000 Hz.
Observance of sanitary norms stipulating parameters and admissible levels of noise at
workplaces is monitored by bodies and agencies of RF State Committee for Sanitary and
Epidemiological Oversight in conformity with RF Law Concerning the Sanitary and
Epidemiological Welfare of the Population dated 19.04.1991 and in accordance with applicable
sanitary regulations and norms.
In the event of excess of maximum permissible noise level in Terminal territory provisions
should be made to limit the noise impact in conformity with company regulations.
