3.4. Reduction of Water Pollution from Dump Sites<br />

At present time 40 mln. m 3 of sludge are produced from wastewater treatment plants. Sludge<br />

should be stored on the special sludge landfields. After disinfection measures and environmental<br />

impact assessment sludge can be used as fertilizers (in reality about 5% or 2 mln. m 3 is only<br />

utilized). There is no data at present time on dumpsites in Danube basin. There are not any facilities<br />

in the region for preparation of wastewater treatment sludge for utilization. There is not any<br />

incineration facilities or other facilities for solid waste disposal in the region. This is one of the<br />

most serious problems of the region because of the landfields and dumpsites are serious source of<br />

diffuse pollution in the region. In many cases they severely affect to ground water quality as for<br />

example in Bolgrad district of Odessa region as was reported by Odessa State Ecological<br />

Inspection. The future activity for pollution reduction from these pollution sources must be directed<br />

on inventory of pollution sources, assessment of the size of diffuse pollution and introduction of<br />

ecologically friendly technology for the solid waste processing and disposal.<br />

Ukraine will need external financial support to carry out the needed assessment and introduction of<br />

new technology in the field of solid waste disposal.<br />

3.5. Special Policy Measures<br />

Economic Regulatory Tools for Water Resources Rational Use, Protection, and Restoration<br />

currently are under development in Ukraine. Ukraine introduces payments for natural resources use<br />

and fines for environmental pollution based on the principle “polluters pay” and allocation of these<br />

revenues for the environmental protection, conservation and restoration measures. Ukraine<br />

introduced the payment for special water use, which implies differentiation of water users. Ukraine<br />

regulates water uses through issuing permits and licensing.<br />

3.5.1. Organizational-Economic Measures, Which Provide Water Resources<br />

Rational Use, Protection, and Restoration<br />

Organizational-economic measures, which provide water resources rational use, protection, and<br />

restoration envisage:<br />

1. issuing permits for special water use;<br />

2. establishment of norms and amounts of payments for water extraction and polluting<br />

substances discharge;<br />

3. establishing norms and amounts of payments for water use in hydropower generation and<br />

water transportation;<br />

4. granting tax, credit and other privileges to water users if they implement low-waste,<br />

waste-free, energy- and resource-saving technologies, perform other measures in<br />

compliance with legislation, that reduce negative effect on waters;<br />

5. compensation of damage for water bodies resulting from violation of legislation,<br />

according to the established procedure.<br />

3.5.2. Payments for Special Water Use<br />

Payments for special water use are established in order to provide water resources rational use,<br />

protection, and restoration, and include payments for water extraction from water body and<br />

polluting substances discharge in it.
