*NE MPC/APC not established
On average content of volatile aromatic hydrocarbons, total PAH, manganese, cadmium, mercury,
chrome and tin, the soils of fuel and lubricant storage facilitiy in the Severnaya Bay fall in the clean
class on average, on average content of total PCB permissible pollution class; on average content
of lead, zinc, petroleum hydrocarbons hazardous class; on average content of zinc, copper,
lead extremely hazardous pollution class.
The values of the total soil pollution index Zc calculated for a series of metals varied from 16.3
(moderately hazardous pollution class) up to 67.1 (hazardous pollution class), with a site average
of 40.1 hazardous class.
At this, in sampling point S02-05-5 (items No. 195-254) MPC or APC was exceeded for copper and
values max (according to MU 2.1.7.730-99), to correspond to very hazardous soil pollution class.
In whole, the level of soil pollution of the area of fuel and lubricant storage facility in the Severnaya
Bay can be assessed as hazardous.
Assessment according to international standards
Permissible concentrations (PC) of oil products, total PCB, cobalt and copper were exceeded in the
site s soils at separate points, including:
for oil products - up to 361 PC units;
for total 7 PCB up to 5.0 PC units;
for total 15 PCB up to 7.07 PC units;
for cobalt up to 2.7 PC units;
for copper - up to 8.6 PC units;
The average value of pollutant content for the area was exceeded for oil products - 104 times, for
total PCB congeners 1.7 times, for copper 4,0 times, for cobalt 1,7 times.
It is necessary to pay special attention to the fact that the level of soil contamination with oil
products at the site exceeds the intervention level both in the average value (1.04 times), and in the
values at separate points of geoecological testing (up to 3.6 IL). The average value of total 7 PCB
congener is 1.72 PC; The average value of total 15 PCB congeners is 12.38 PC on average value.
The maximum amount of 15 PCB congeners was revealed in point S02-05-5, items No. 195-254
(north oart of the surveyed area of fuel and lubricant storage facility, between accumulations of
200-L drums).
Figures 5.2.3-5.2.5 present spatial characteristics of soil and ground pollution of the area of PCB
dumps in PC units and pollution with a set of heavy metals (index).
FINAL REPORT for Contract No. CS-NPA-Arctic-13/2009 of December 01, 2009 within the framework of pilot project Development of
