16. FINDINGS
Under the terms of the pilot project work helped to develop and test technology for removal of
hazardous waste contaminated with high-latitude areas in the Arctic by the example of the
experimental site, located in the decommissioned facility eksplutatatsii Russia's Defense
Ministry on Alexandra Island.
All under terms of reference works were performed and proved to be essential for the overall
project.
In the first phase of the pilot project was carried out works on the supplementary survey of
contaminated areas of Alexandra Island of Franz Josef Land archipelago in order to select an
experimental site for production work. Of the five sites examined in an experimental area to be
treated was chosen area of fuel and lubricant storage facility in North Bay (south-eastern part of
the surveyed area in the vicinity of the object 203-Stack of drums and the western part of the
warehouse, in an area obektov178, 249, 250 , 252).
In the course of further investigation were found drums of motor oil and testing of a PCB content
up to 2-4% mass of fluid. This confirms the assumption in 2007 about the presence on the island
a permanent source of PCB pollution, and requires considerable care in the execution of work
under a pilot project.
In the course of work under the second phase of the pilot project: the project was a technological
mass disposal of drums containing especially hazardous substances, the safe elimination of
contents, compacting drums and export them to the receiving station in Arkhangelsk. In
accordance with the project has developed a program of works to implement the third phase of
the pilot project and the procurement of necessary equipment, components, items and
consumables.
At the request of the Contractor at the plant "Precision Engineering" the experience of work in
2007 was improved hydraulic press TM-22TPF with a force of up to 26t and successfully tested
for compaction of thick-walled steel drums with a wall thickness up to 1,5 mm (Appendix 3).
Specialists field team have been trained in handling hazardous wastes in ANGO "Center of
training and designing in the field of handling of industrial waste". In the production of field
work they produced instructing technical personnel and field team osuschstvlyali supervision
over their actions.
The third phase was carried out works on the experimental utilization of mass number of 200-L
drums of fuel and lubricant under a different model year, uncontrolled stored in decommissioned
military site on Alexandra Island archipelago of Franz Josef Land.
Work carried out in accordance with our program.
Purchased production equipment has been delivered to the archipelago on board the RV
"Mikhail Somov" and assembled on site in the district of the stock fuel and lubricant in the
Severnaya Bay using the Mi-8T.
In the course of the work was cleaned and skompaktirovano 1000 dvuhsotlitrovyh metal drums
of different years of release, including 87 drums partially filled with kerosene, and 78 drums -
diesel fuel.
The application of engineering schemes have proved effective enough. A small field team was in
FINAL REPORT for Contract No. CS-NPA-Arctic-13/2009 of December 01, 2009 within the framework of pilot project Development
of Technology of clean up of the area of Decommissioned Sites of The Russian Federation Ministry of Defense in the Arctic by the
Example of Alexanra Island of Franz Josef Land Archipelago from Hazardous Waste
