1. INTRODUCTION
This report contains the results of the 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 Alexandra Island of Franz Josef Land Archipelago from hazardous waste .
Work is based on Contract for Consultancy Services No. CS-NPA-Arctic-13/2009 of December 01,
2009 between Non-Profit Organization Foundation of Polar Research POLAR FOUNDATION
(NPO POLAR FOUNDATION ) and Institution National Pollution Abatement Facility
Executive Directorate ( NPAF Executive Directorate ). The contact has been concluded within the
framework of the GEF grant Russian Federation: Support to the National Program of Action for
the Protection of the Arctic Marine Environment of June 18, 2005.
In terms of content the report includes the materials from working papers of all stages completed
under the Contract and the most important appendices.
The work was aimed at:
1. Identification and mapping of hazardous pollution sources at the sites of Alexandra
Island in order to select the main and alternate sites for implementing the pilot project. In the
course of work, it is planned to analyze the data obtained in 2007 and carry out an
additionally survey of the level of soil contamination and technical liquids at selected sites.
2. Analysis of the existing domestic and foreign experience in the clean up of the
territories of decommissioned military sites from drums with fuel and lubricant and PCB
residuals. The determination of innovative technology for removing spent technical liquids
and oils containing especially hazardous substances The development of technological
project for a mass disposal of drums containing especially hazardous substances, safe
removal of their content, compacting of drums and their transportation to a drop-off station
in Arkhangelsk. The development of technological project for handling waste, technological
equipment and its parts, containing heavy metals. The development of technological project
for disposal of the items containing sovtol and other PCB-containing liquids. Assessment of
abilities and methods to dispose PCB-containing equipment from airfield service and air
defence facilities at the site.
3. Purchase and testing of the necessary technological equipment.
4. Disposal of 1000 drums with fuel and lubricant residuals of different of different
time of production at the selected site including their collection, transportation to clean up
point and further treatment, discharge of liquid residuals from drums to special tanks,
defrosting the drums if needed using specially developed techniques, clean up of drums fron
fuel and lubricant residuals and hazardous pollutants with an obligatory hazardous substance
discharge control. Cutting, pressing (palletizing), packaging and safe transportation to a
specialized enterprise in Arkhangelsk.
5. Development of an order for prospecting and developing a project for large-scale
work to clean up the area of sites of the Russian Federation Ministry of Defense on
Alexandra Island of Franz Josef Land Archipelago.
The list of contamination parameters to be monitored was determined based on the requirements for
soil and ground quality established by the Russian Federation regulatory docunebts (GOST, SanPiN
and RD), as well as the recommendations of the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Program
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 Alexandra Island of Franz Josef Land Archipelago from Hazardous Waste
