PART II: PROJECT JUSTIFICATION A. STATE THE ISSUE, HOW THE PROJECT SEEKS TO ADDRESS IT, AND THE EXPECTED GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS TO BE DELIVERED: Lake Baikal, situated in eastern Siberia on the Russian border with Mongolia, is the world’s oldest (>25 million years old) and deepest lake (1,637 m). It contains 20 percent of the Earth’s fresh surface water and supports a diverse and highly endemic flora and fauna. Although the lake is in Russia, the catchment around this vast freshwater reservoir (Baikal Lake Basin) is a transboundary resource extending over a 500,000 km2 area shared between Russia and Mongolia, with over 300 rivers and streams. Ongoing pressure to expand the economy in both countries is driving the largely uncontrolled expansion of industrial, agricultural and urban developments within the watershed on both sides of the lake. These developments have increased the number and types of inputs and the release of nutrients and persistent toxic substances. While the lake waters remain relatively clean (due to mixing and the sheer volume of the lake) localized contamination and eutrophication events have reportedly increased, particularly within certain heavily impacted areas. Continuation of this pressure on the watershed has serious implications for the local indigenous population and the wildlife supported by this once pristine lacustrine ecosystem. In recognition of their shared responsibility for this preservation of this globally important ecosystem, the countries have attempted to establish joint monitoring and management programmes. The intention of the proposed Project is to assist the countries to revitalize these agreements, harmonize policies and facilitate the establishment of an effective transboundary integrated water resource management regime to reduce land-based sources of contamination and ensure the sustainable use of this vast, ancient and unique fresh water reservoir for the benefit of future generations. The Baikal Lake Basin and the rich biological resources it hosts are of critical importance to both countries and to the indigenous peoples (Evenks and Buryats) whose origin and identity are highly connected with the lake. The lake supports more than 1,200 species of fauna and over 1,000 species of flora, 80 percent of which are endemic. Among these are the Baikal seal or Nerpa (Phoca sibirica) which is the only freshwater seal on earth, and a rare sub-species of the Omul fish (Coregonus autumnalis migratorius). In recognition of the global importance of the Baikal Lake Basin, the Selenga Delta, Lake Baikal’s largest wetland area, was added to the RAMSAR list of international wetlands in 1994, and the lake and the adjoining Russian territory were declared a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site in 1996. However, alongside the rich biodiversity found within the Baikal Lake Basin, the region also has a wealth of commercially important mineral deposits (e.g. gold, coal, oil and gas, rare metals) and these form the basis of a highly intensive mining industry in both Russia and Mongolia, and the expansion of associated industrial and urban developments that presently threaten this fragile ecosystem. 3 PIF Template, August 30, 2007 Over the past decade mining activities around the lake have grown rapidly, particularly in Mongolia. The most heavily mined region is in the Selenga River Basin, in north-eastern Mongolia. The Selenga River is the main input to Lake Baikal responsible for almost one-half of Baikal's water supply. Contaminants related to the use of inefficient and outdated mining technologies (e.g. cyanide, mercury, cadmium, lead, zinc, fluorine, chloride) are released into the river and pose a serious threat to the lake ecosystem. Other land-based activities that threaten the watershed include: municipal and industrial waste water from the major conurbations, steel works and wood works and pulp and paper mills. The agricultural sector in the Basin has also expanded and this result in the diffuse release of a range of substances (pesticides, fertilizers, fuel and oil). Coal powered plants generate air-borne pollutants that enter the system via

The Russian state in its Tsarist, Soviet and post-Soviet variants is no exception ; indeed the geographer Boris Rodoman has argued (2004) that Russia provides an extreme example of centricity. It concentrates all lines of power, infrastructure, and communications towards the metropolis — and this has generated a particular pattern of ‘remoteness’ across provincial regions. The spatial pattern identified by Rodoman locates such remote areas especially at administrative boundaries, as will be discussed below.

Natsagdorj Introduction Several provinces (aimag) of Mongolia, such as Khövsgöl, Zavkhan, Arkhangai and Bulgan, are home to a group of Khalkh Mongols who call themselves Khariad (Classic Mongolian qariyad). A well-known Mongolian ethnographer S. Badamkhatan described the process of formation of the clan (oboγ) and lineage (yasu) of the Khalkh Mongols, based on the fieldwork materials collected among the Khariads of Khövsgöl province. But unfortunately, the written source in Mongol, entitled ‘The History of the Ach Khariads’ (Ach Khariadyn tüükh), which was used by Badamkhatan was recently lost (BNMAU 1987, p. 38). In his work about Mongol clan names, A. Ochir wrote that ‘Khariads, among the Khalkh and Oirads, probably originate from the Buryats of the lake Baikal and had an eagle for a totem’ (Ochir 2008, pp.

According to these observations, the chemical composition changes from bicarbonate calcium-magnesium in the upper part of the river through sulfate-calcium-sodium (and other transitional differences) to sulfate-calcium-magnesium type in the river's mouth. Redistribution of dissolved and suspended forms of migration heavy metals occurs in the alkaline environment in river Modonkul. The data of the content rare earth elements in water river are obtained. Keywords: acid mine, change of the chemical type of water, alkaline barrier, precipitation of hydroxides, sorption of heavy metals 1. Introduction In the South –Western Transbaikalia (Russia), there are numerous economic Mo-W deposites that constitute the Dzhidinskoe ore field (N50o19’; E103o21’). This ore field includes Pervomaiskoye Mo, Inkurskoe W and Kholtosonskoye W deposits and is charachterized by a large metal resource spreading over a relatively small are [1]. The three deposits are unique geological objects and are the largest sources of W and Mo in Russia. All the deposits are genetically related to a single porphyry granitoid intrusion (Pervomaisky stock). Formation of the stockwork Mo-W mineralization occurred during several hydrothermal stages which were separated in time by intrusive magmatism. First, the Mo stockwork representing Pervomaiskoye molybdenum deposit formed along with minor Mo-Be mineralization.

  • Water Resources Assessment of the Selenga-Baikal River System
    GEOÖKO VOLUME/BAND XXXIV, 77 – 102 GÖTTINGEN 2013 WATER RESOURCES ASSESSMENT OF THE SELENGA-BAIKAL RIVER SYSTEM SERGEY CHALOV, NIKOLAY KASIMOV, MIKHAIL LYCHAGIN, EKATERINA BELOZEROVA, GALINA SHINKAREVA, PHILIPP THEURING, ANNA ROMANCHENKO, NIKOLAY ALEXEEVSKY, ENDON GARMAEV SUMMARY Paper provides basin-scale integrated assessment of water resources of the largest tributary of Lake Baikal (the Selenga River) extending from northern Mongolia into southern Siberia in Russia with special emphasis on total flow of water through a basin, its quality, structures, laws and economic factors that control its use for the present and future. The water quality and flow data were obtained from historical measurement campaigns, long-term national monitoring, and a novel field campaign done in 2011-2012. The results provide evidence on a very low water availability in upper parts of the basin and insufficient water quality exhibiting high concentrations of dissolved and suspended heavy metals in downstream parts of the Selenga River where elevated concentrations of dissolved and suspended forms of Mn, Fe, Cu, Mo are observed with local 10-20-fold increases of maximum permissible concentrations MPC below large industrial and mining centers. The main pressure on water resources is reported for some Mongolian (Tuul below Ulanbaatar and Zaamar goldfield and the Khangal River below copper-molybdenum mine-mill complex Erdenet) and Russian rivers (Modonkul-Dzhida River system below Zakamensk wolfram-molybdenum mining and processing factory). We concluded that future water resources will depend on general socio-economic trends in both Mongolia and Russia with special focus on development of mining concessions which overlap with current or planned hydropower projects and popu- lation changes and thus water consumption in the region.

  • Russian Monotowns Delgir Maksimova [email protected]
    Master Program in Economic Growth, Innovation and Spatial Dynamics Russian Monotowns Delgir Maksimova [email protected] Abstract: Monofunctional towns of Russia represent the extreme case of specialized settlements where the socio-economic development mostly or fully depends on the performance of one or a few town-forming enterprises. This phenomenon obtained attention after the Soviet Union collapse, which has resulted in worsening of the socio-economic situation in monotowns. However, since the 2000s the differentiation in the development among monofunctional towns was observed. What can condition such differentiation? In this study an attempt to provide a new perspective, through which monotowns can be studied. The analysis is done in the step- wise manner and based on the developed data matrix and taxonomy of monotowns. Key words: monotowns, monofunctional towns, agglomeration, specialization, lock-ins, functional classification EKHM51 Master's Thesis (15 ECTS) June 2015 Supervisor: Karl-Johan Lundquist Examiner: Jonas Ljungberg Word Count: 15 883 Website www.ehl.lu.se TABLE OF CONTENTS Table of Contents ............................................................................................................................ 1 List of Figures ................................................................................................................................. 2 List of Tables .................................................................................................................................. 3 1.
