amphibian, etc.), number and characteristics of hunter animals. Ecological control of birds’ population
within anthropogenic impact bounds is carried out in late May and in early June (time of arrival for
brooding). Sections for MES are 1 km routes cleared evenly across the area in question or along the
whole length of a line. MES of mammals is performed when they are mostly vulnerable: during
migrations (2-3 decades of May) as well as during reproduction period (end of spring-beginning of
summer). MES is carried out during the whole construction period and further annually for 5 years and
yet further – once in 3-5 years. During route supervision it is necessary to take into consideration the
following: species composition, number according to biotopes, migrations routes, brooding places.
During points and areas supervision they perform mapping of ecotopes of the rare and vanishing
species of native mammals.
In accordance with the acting normative legal documents when carrying out MES it is also
necessary to track generation, accumulation, temporary storage, transportation, neutralization,
utilization and disposal of all types of wastes produced in the plant. They do inventory of wastes,
separate accumulation and temporary storage of wastes according to their toxicity as well as separation
of wastes according to the safety during transportation matter, issue passports for the toxic wastes and
MES of the disposal areas.
All the foregoing proves the validity and necessity of the complex MES to get optimum
information about every natural environment component state in order to reason and adjust forecasts of
environment changes occurring due to specific anthropogenic impacts in the region. Data obtained
during regular systemic supervisions allows prompt correcting of the nature-conservative arrangements
and preventing emergency situations.
Thus MES at UGCC must include the following:
• atmospheric air condition control;
• waste waters control;
• soil covering control;
• wastes managing control;
• biocontrol.
MES system requirements are the following:
• supervision methods must comply with the normative-methodological documents;
• points and areas selection must depend on the natural environment condition and the
Project specifics;
• actual data on the natural environment condition acquisition must be performed by the
engineering-ecological supervision using routes study, complex and local stationary
supervision;
• acquired data processing is performed by the office work, laboratory chemical-analytical
researches with electronic data processing and modeling of interconnections of
engineering structures with the natural environment components.
In case mercury availability in the feedstock is confirmed it should be included in the list of
contaminants to be controlled.
Layout of points of the supervision network is defined according to the location of the newly
considered complex and is to be approved by the local environmental protection committee.
