1. Executive Summary

1.1 Policy, Legal, and Administrative Framework

The Law on Environmental Protection requires that an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) has to be prepared for a planned activity. The Law on Ecological Expert’s Review defines the activities that require EIA and states ‘Any new construction, reconstruction, expansion or re- equipment of operating economic entities or other entities which are likely to have impacts on the environment’. Consequently, for the ADB - TA-7704 (KGZ) Power Sector Rehabilitation Project an Environmental Impact Assessment has to be conducted.

The key government institution responsible for the establishment and implementation of environmental policy and management in the Kyrgyz Republic is the State Agency on Environmental Protection and Forestry (SAEPF). Therefore the EIA report has to be reviewed by the Department of Ecological Expertise within this authority. SAEPF is then responsible for issuing environmental permits for infrastructural projects. The Agency is directly ranked under the government and has the status of a ministry. The Agency located at Bishkek is responsible for all nationwide projects of national importance.

Another (newly established) environment-related authority in the country is State Inspectorate for Environmental and Technical Safety that is authorized to inspect and control state profile bodies and their subdivisions on fulfillment of environmental and technical requirements in industrial and other relevant fields.

1.2 Description of the Project

Project Location and General Situation

The backbone of Kyrgyz power generation is the Naryn River with its several hydropower plants Kambarata 2, Toktogul, Kurpsai, Tash-Kumur, Shamaldy-Say and Uch Kurgan.

Electricity demand in Kyrgyz Republic is highly seasonal with two thirds of domestic consumption taking place in autumn and winter. Although electricity generation capacity has nearly doubled since the Soviet era, load shedding is frequent especially in the winter when hydropower output is limited due to low river discharge, while cuts arise from problems due to technical failures in the outdated generating equipment.

4864P15/FICHT-8320034-v2 1-1

However, the future security of this capability is in some doubt because of the age of most of these facilities. They are over 50 years old, obsolete and many spare parts are no longer available.

Therefore, the rehabilitation of Toktogul HPP being part of the Naryn cascade is of paramount importance.

Category of the Project

Following ‘Environmental Considerations in ADB Operations’ of September 2006, the Project can be considered to be a Category B project requiring an Initial Environmental Assessment (IEE). The Project will not require an acquisition of land and resettlement activities will not become necessary at all. There is no protected area located nearby and ecologically sensitive habitats will not be affected. All activities will take place within the properties of the existing HPP facilities belonging to Joint Stock Company Electric Power Plants.

Implementation Schedule

It is foreseen to finalize the technical feasibility of the Project until middle of 2012. It is intended to prepare the tender documents until mid of 2012 and end of 2012 the construction contractor should be determined. The rehabilitation contract itself will probably start in the course of 2013.

Description of the Project and possible Impacts

At HPP Toktogul following measures are foreseen:

• rehabilitation of the periphery of the generators requiring the temporary shutdown of the generator actually worked on; • replacement of four oil operated generator circuit breakers by state-of- the-art SF6 circuit breakers; • replacement of four oil-filled 500 kV cables of a length of approx. 1,150 m each. These cables contain all together about 250,000 l of old oil that has to be disposed of; • renewing of the fire fighting system of the main transformers. The old system is based on a sprinkler system using water for cooling and will be replaced by a system using N2 (gaseous nitrogen) that is blown into the transformers in case of fire to quench it.

Following possible environmental impacts might be associated:

• Possible power shortage during construction; • Disposal of old oil and oil impregnated paper possibly containing PCB; • Safety and health issues during construction; • Increased truck movements during construction period also through inhabited areas; • Disposal of steel, copper, ceramics and other wastes.

4864P15/FICHT-8320034-v2 1-2

Social aspects as need of land, increase of employment, electricity supply to the population etc. are discussed in stand-alone reports.

1.3 Description of the Environment

In the following description of the environment of the Kyrgyz Republic and of Djalal-Abad Oblast, only baseline data are given as being possibly relevant for this rehabilitation Project.

General Location

Climate

In Djalal-Abad Oblast remoteness from significant in size water reservoirs causes the climate’s continentality and aridity with hot summer, humid spring and autumn, and relatively cold winter. The most amount of precipitation falls to the south-west slopes of Fergana range (up to 1000 mm per year). The south-west part of the province is most arid. Here, at the foothills, amount of precipitation is 100-200 mm per year. Highest precipitations occur on spring and beginning of summer (up to 70 % of annual amount). The second part of the summer is drought.

Water Resources

The area of the Oblast is crossed by the largest river of the country. The Naryn River comprises about 30 % of the Kyrgyz Republic’s rivers total surface flow. The rivers of Kara-Darya, Kugart, and Kara-Unkur that flow within the limits of the Fergana valley are significant especially in terms of their irrigation capacity. The rivers of Fergana and Chatkal ranges are primarily of snow- and glacier-derived nourishment. They are characterized by early spring floods. In the territory of the Oblast, a network of channels and water reservoirs were constructed to efficiently use the available water resources.

Protected areas

There are several nature protecting areas around the hydro power plants concerned. However, all are located in a distance that any impact caused by the rehabilitation measures (included impact by truck movements) can be excluded. No Ramsar sites (wetlands) are located within the investigation area.

4864P15/FICHT-8320034-v2 1-3

Socio-economic Conditions

After the collapse of the Soviet Union the ethnic situation in Djalal-Abad Oblast has dramatically changed. Due to its location near Uzbekistan, the Oblast is characterized by the availability of many ethnic and language minorities. A lot of Russians, Tatars, Germans, Koreans and other ethnic formations have left the country for Russia, Europe and America causing a change in the ethnic composition of the local community: now dominating ethnic groups are Kyrgyz and Uzbeks, Tajiks, and Turks. Currently, about 0,923 million people inhabit the Djalal-Abad Oblast that comprises 20 % of the total population of the country.

The principal religion in the country is Islam of secular persuasion with a touch of shamanism among ethnic Kyrgyz. Russians and other Slavic people living in the country are members of the Orthodox Church and/or are atheists.

Average size of a household in the Oblast is 4.5 persons.

Djalal-Abad Oblast is one of the most industrial developed provinces of the country, where more than 100 industrial enterprises are located. The enterprises represent practically all the industries: electric power generation, electronics, coal, sewing and shoemaking industry, exploration and excavation of minerals (gold, oil, coal, gas), metal processing, food industry (processing agricultural production), wood processing, machinery construction, building materials production.

In Kyrgyz Republic, treatment of chemical substances in connection with a focus on the development of agricultural and mining sectors, which contribute significantly to environmental pollution, is one of the most important among the issues of waste disposal. Nowadays, in Kyrgyz Republic there are great efforts ongoing to improve the waste management in the country considerably. In 2008 UNDP implemented the project "Capacity building for implementation of the principles of sustainable waste management in the Kyrgyz Republic" (2008-2010). This project is a continuation of the project "Capacity building and capacity building of municipal waste management system in Kyrgyzstan", implemented in 2005- 2007.

Health and Safety at Hydropower Plants

At all HPPs there are first aid kids available. These kits are regularly inspected. All workers are instructed what to do in case of an accident, e.g. after a worker is hit by an electric shock. In addition, there is staff specially trained for first aid available. In case of severe injuries the worker concerned has to be taken to the next hospital.

4864P15/FICHT-8320034-v2 1-4

Workers and other “ITR” (“Engineering and Technical Personnel”) are trained and certified concerning safety aspects when working in a hydropower plant. This training comprises issues like working under high voltage, how to secure a working place with signs, etc.

1.4 Anticipated Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures

Construction Phase

All Project activities will be restricted to the property of Joint Stock Company Electric Power Plants. All of the rehabilitation measures will take place within buildings and caverns of the power plants. However, some side effects can impact areas far away from the power plant site. Thus scrap metals, oil and oily papers have to be treated or disposed of in an environmental sound manner what enlarges the area of impacts considerably. All these impacts are addressed in tabular forms.

During rehabilitation measures single turbines have to be shut down. This shall take place mainly during summer when the power demand is reduced in order to avoid power shortages. However, it is very likely that shut down of turbines has also to take place during the high demand period. In these cases a plan shall be developed how to ensure the power supply for the population from other power plants or from abroad.

All wastes shall be recycled to the greatest extent possible as steel and copper. In case of replacing the old 500 kV cables at Toktogul about 250,000 l of old oil including oil impregnated paper have to be handled. The analysis revealed that there is no PCB in the oil restricting its use. Because there is no facility available in the Kyrgyz Republic to clean the oil for reuse it is recommended to burn the oil in a heavy oil fired power plant as existing at Osh.

Operational Phase

. The replaced generating circuit breakers will be state-of-the-art SF6 circuit breakers. The amount of SF6 gas is very small and possible leakages are controlled automatically. Thus the risk of any SF6 release to the environment is minimal.

Main impacts during operation of the Project will be a more reliable power supply within the Kyrgyz Republic and even within Central Asia referring to the intention of establishing a regional system in the power sector with coordinated energy generation and energy transmission between the Central Asian countries including export to Afghanistan/Pakistan (CAREC).

4864P15/FICHT-8320034-v2 1-5

1.5 Analysis of Alternatives

Toktogul HPP is a unique project and of irreplaceable value for Kyrgyzstan. Its value to the country and the region cannot be overstated. Is the vital plant for the frequency and voltage regulation of the 500 KV transmission system connecting the Central Asian countries.

In addition, Toktogul Dam and reservoir provide multi-year storage for all plants that cascade downstream. Also for irrigation and agriculture in the downstream countries, water releases are subject to annual Inter- Governmental Irrigation Agreements (IGIA). Thus to a large extent, trade in electricity is inter-connected with water release agreements

Consequently, no real alternative then to properly maintain the civil structures and the installed equipment and replace deteriorated and worn-out equipment step by step is existing.

1.6 Information, Disclosure, Consultation, and Participation

The ADB policies require that public consultations are held during development of the EIA/IEE. According to these policies, the national environmental consultant held one meeting with local communities in Karakul town October 3, 2011. During this meeting the national consultant accompanied by Mr. Avazbek Hudaiberdiev, Inter-Provincial Environmental Protection Department Head, described the goals and tasks of the Project and distributed information leaflets.

The meeting was conducted at Karakul mayor house. This meeting was attended by 18 persons representing the local government members. the Head of the Electric Grid company’s local district department, informed that there is a necessity to install a new ground electric transmission cable as the old (overhead transmission) requires that some trees have to be cut to provide the electric grid’s safe operation, what is stipulated by the relevant state standards. This factor causes disputes between the officers of the local environmental department (protecting the forests of any cutting, in the conditions when the forest in Kyrgyzstan is under frequent timber poaching) and representatives of the electric grid company.

No specific concerns or objections against the rehabilitation Project have been raised. The attending people expressed their satisfaction with the forthcoming rehabilitation and understanding of its importance for further stable working HPP Cascade and fully supported the Project activities.

1.7 Grievance Redress Mechanism

During implementation of the Project, unexpected impacts might occur or mitigation measures might not be carried out improperly. In these cases and in order to provide timely and effective solution of issues, it is necessary that an efficient channel for the local people to address to have been

4864P15/FICHT-8320034-v2 1-6

established. Addresses on environmental concerns should be made of free basis and all the costs should be provided from the Project budget, out of budget line “Contingency”. Mechanism of submitting a grievance and its redressing is provided.

1.8 Environmental Management Plan

Within the IEE an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) has been developed. It contains mitigation and monitoring measures mainly for the for construction phase. Main focus was given to the generated big amount of scrap copper, oily papers and 250,000 l of oil mainly from the exchange of the 500 kV cables. All mitigation measures during construction have to be implemented by the contractor what will be monitored by the Project Implementation Consultant (PIC) as discussed in the following.

It is recommended to monitor regularly the implementation of the proposed mitigation measures during the whole construction period with special focus to proper management of the oil disposal (removal, transport, disposal).

EPP as responsible PIU for the project will recruit a Project Implementation Consultant. The national and international team of consultants will assist EPP as project supervision consultant on the rehabilitation of Toktogul HPP. The Consultant will also provide capacity building training to EPP staff for project management and operation and maintenance for the Project. The Consultant will be essentially an extension of EPP. The Consultant will assist EPP in assuring that the project is implemented according to the specified standards.

Within Joint Stock Company Electric Power Plants a department ‘Service of Reliability and Safety’ exists. This department will deal with all safety and health issues relevant for workers at the HPPs. In order to cover also environmental issues it is recommended to assign an environmental expert for the duration of the whole construction period of 3 years. This person shall support and assist the ‘Service of Reliability and Safety’ with respect of implementation of the EMP. Costs for remuneration, office, allowances, transportation etc. have to be considered. Given a total construction period of 3 years the costs will sum up to approximately 95,000 USD.

The Project Implementation Consultant being also responsible for supervision of all environmental issues shall prepare monthly reports including the progress of the implementation of the EMP. These reports shall be submitted to EPP and distributed to all involved departments, e.g. ‘Service of Reliability and Safety’ The report shall contain all discrepancies from the EMP and list all HSE relevant incidents and accidents that occur during the implementation of the refurbishment measures. Based on these reports and on own regular construction site audits the Consultant together with EPP/PIU will prepare semi-annual performance and monitoring reports and submit them to ADB (see Section 9.3).

4864P15/FICHT-8320034-v2 1-7

1.9 Conclusion and Recommendation

As it can be seen from the results only some low negative impacts occur mainly during the construction phase. During the operational phase, the positive impacts are obvious and consist in a much more reliable power supply, not only for the Kyrgyz population but also for the entire Central Asian region taking into account the intention of establishing a regional system in the power sector with coordinated energy generation and energy transmission between the Central Asian countries including export to Afghanistan/Pakistan (CAREC).

Transboundary problems will not come up by the Project because the water regime will change at any time neither during construction nor during operational phases. Other important issues are the recycling of demolished steel and copper structures and burning of the old oil from replacing the 500 kV cables at Toktogul at Osh fired power plant. For that a disposal management plan has been set up.

From the findings of this Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) it can be clearly seen that, if all mitigation measures are implemented, the Project can be constructed and operated without creating significant adverse environmental impact. The advantages are obvious in having a much more sustainable power supply. The need for preparing an IEE to this project is stipulated in the Safeguard Policy Statement 2009.

4864P15/FICHT-8320034-v2 1-8

2. Policy, Legal, and Administrative Framework

2.1 General Provisions

The Kyrgyz Republic is divided administratively into seven Oblasts (Provinces) plus the metropolitan region of Bishkek, the capital. Each Oblast consists of several rayons (districts) and towns directly subordinated to the Oblast. In each of the Oblasts, there are regional councils, but the main executive authority is represented by the head of the Oblast administration (governor), who is appointed by the central government.

In the context of environmental policy, the President has specific authority on establishing rules of natural resources use, defining and announcing environmental emergencies and environmental disaster zones as well as procedures for collection and use of environmental protection funds.

The executive arm of the central government is headed by the Prime Minister and the First Vice Prime Minister, who is responsible for the issues of economy, industry, including environmental protection, and the supervision of the respective ministries and national agencies. There are also two additional Vice Prime Ministers responsible for other important spheres: 1st Vice Prime Minister is in charge of social policy, employment, science, culture development, and mass media etc.; 2nd Vice Prime Minister is in charge of issues of defense, public security, corruption, protecting the population of emergencies, etc.

2.2 Environmental Institutions

At the highest level of government, the Jogorku Kenesh (Parliament) - through the Committee on land and agricultural issues, water resources, ecology and regional development - is responsible for:

• Defining the overall framework for nature protection policy; • Developing and approving laws and regulations; • Approving government proposals on resource charges and taxes.

A number of environmental responsibilities are delegated to the President’s office. The President has the authority to:

• Establish specific rules and decide on the use of natural resources; • Define and announce the boundaries and the status of environmental emergencies and environmental disaster zones; • Approve procedures for the collection and use of environmental protection funds.

Since the Kyrgyz Republic has transferred from presidential to parliamentary republic, the powers of the President have been reduced. According to the Clause 64 of the new 2010 KR Constitution, the President is responsible for signing all laws adopted by the JogorkuKenesh,

4864P15/FICHT-8320034-v2 2-1

conducting international negotiations, and signing international conventions and treaties with the approval of the Prime Minister. In doing so, the President has the right to transfer the named powers to the Prime Minister, and members of the Government, keeping the powers on signing the ratification and accession instruments.

According to legal provisions, the SAEPF is a governmental body in the environmental protection and ecology and industrial safety. Its major aims and purposes are to:

• Exercise State control over environment protection, development and implementation of a common policy in the field of environment protection and nature management; • Control and license in the field of industrial safety, economic activities and mining.

2.3 National Requirements for Environmental Assessment

The environmental policy of the Kyrgyz Republic is anchored in the 1995 National Environment Action Plan (NEAP) which effectively shaped the evolution of the country’s environmental laws and regulations. The two most significant pieces of legislation are the Law on Environmental Protection (No. 53 of June 16 1999) and the Law on Ecological Expert’s Review (No. 54 of June 16 1999).

According to the Provisional Instruction for Procedure for Performance of Environmental Impact Assessment such an EIA has to contain the following:

4864P15/FICHT-8320034-v2 2-2

• Description of the project or planned activity; • Possible alternatives for the project or planned activity; • Description of the existing environment; • Types and degree of impact on environment and population; • Forecast of any possible changes in environmental quality; • Description of socio-economic and ecological consequences; and • Actions to prevent environmental damage or mitigate the level of ecological risk.

The EIA is then reviewed by the State Agency on Environment Protection and Forest Ecosystems Development – Department of Ecological Expertise. This authority is responsible for issuing environmental permits for infrastructural projects. The Agency is directly ranked under the government and has the status of a ministry. The Agency located at Bishkek is responsible for all nationwide projects of national importance.

2.4 International Agreements

The Kyrgyz Republic has signed or ratified following international agreements and protocols that might have to be considered in the context of the rehabilitation Project.

• UN (Rio) Treaty on Biological Diversity; • RAMSAR Convention ‘Protection of Wetlands’; • The Convention on Environmental Impact Assessment in a Transboundary Context (Espoo); • The Convention on the Protection and Use of Transboundary Watercourses and International Lakes (Water Convention); • Aarhus Convention on Access to Information and Public Participation in Decision-Making and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters; • UN Framework Convention on Climate Change; • The Kyoto Protocol – UN framework convention on climate change; • Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants. • Basel Convention on Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their disposal

2.5 ADB Requirements for Environmental Assessment

The environmental policy of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) is grounded in ADB’s poverty reduction strategy and long-term strategic framework. The poverty reduction strategy recognizes that environmental sustainability is a prerequisite for economic growth and efforts to reduce poverty. In this context, environmental sustainability is one core issue of ADB’s environmental policy.

4864P15/FICHT-8320034-v2 2-3

ADB requires environmental assessment of all project loans, program loans, sector loans, sector development program loans, financial intermediation loans, and private sector investment operations. Environmental assessment is a process rather than a one-time report, and includes necessary environmental analyses and environmental management planning that take place throughout the project cycle.

This IEE was carried out in accordance with the relevant ADB guidelines as there are:

• Operations Manual Bank Policies (BP): Environmental Considerations in ADB Operations, 2006; • Safeguard Policy Statement, June 2009, effective since January 2010

4864P15/FICHT-8320034-v2 2-4

3. Description of the Project

This document represents the Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) Report on the ADB - TA-7704 (KGZ) Power Sector Rehabilitation Project.

Aim of the Power Sector Rehabilitation is to strengthen and ensure power supply of the Kyrgyz electricity network generated by the hydropower plants Toktogul, Uch-Kurgan and Shamaldy-Say, and all parts of the Naryn River cascade. The Project will also contribute to the power supply of Central Asia referring to the intention of establishing a regional system in the power sector with coordinated energy generation and energy transmission between the Central Asian countries including export to Afghanistan/Pakistan (CAREC).

The social aspects related to the Project are described and assessed in standalone reports.

The baseline data for this examination were gained during two field trips to the hydropower plants (HPPs) in July and end of September/beginning of October 2011 and during a fact finding mission from February 12 to February 24. Technical aspects of possible rehabilitation works have been discussed and inspected in all three hydropower plants and consultations with relevant representatives in the region have been executed. In addition, institutional and legal aspects have been clarified at Bishkek.

This IEE was carried out in accordance with the relevant ADB guidelines as discussed in Chapter 2.5.

3.1 Project Location and General Situation

The backbone of Kyrgyz power generation is the Naryn River with its several hydropower plants (see Map 3-1 and Tab. 3-1).

Hydroelectric generation from the Naryn Cascade is central to the present and future economic development of the Kyrgyz Republic also with view on an electric power generation and transmission system regionally managed between the Central Asian Countries in future. However, the future security of this capability is in some doubt because of the age of most of these facilities. They are over 50 years old, obsolete and many spare parts are no longer available.

Therefore, the rehabilitation of Toktogul HPPs being part of the Naryn cascade is of paramount importance.

3.2 Category of the Project

In the ADB ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS IN ADB OPERATIONS of September 2006, definitions for the different types of projects are given. According to these considerations, projects of Category B are characterized as:

‘Projects that could have some adverse environmental impacts, but of lesser degree or significance than those in category A. An initial environmental examination (IEE) is required to determine whether significant environmental impacts warranting an EIA are likely. If an EIA is not needed, the IEE is regarded as the final environmental assessment report’.

4864P15/FICHT-8320034-v2 3-2

Following this definition, the Project can be considered being a Category B project requiring an Initial Environmental Assessment (IEE). The Project will not require an acquisition of land and resettlement activities will not become necessary at all. There is no protected area located nearby and ecologically sensitive habitats will not be affected. All activities will take place within the properties of the existing HPP facilities belonging to Joint Stock Company Electric Power Plants.

3.3 Proposed Schedule for Implementation

It is foreseen to finalize the technical feasibility of the Project until end of 2011. It is intended to prepare the tender documents until mid of 2012 and after finalization of the loan agreement to start with the tendering and project implementation.

The tendering phase is estimated to consume 9 -12 months until effectiveness of the contract.

The tentative implementation time schedule for Toktogul HPP will cover a period of 3 years from contract award until Taking-Over. The first year is mainly consumed for design, manufacturing and transportation to site.

The operation of the powerhouses of the cascade and particularly of Toktogul HPP requires to implement the works consecutively, e.g. one unit after the other. Only after completion of the works and successful commissioning the next unit will be shut-down for rehabilitation. A thorough preparation and careful supervision of the site works can reduce the outage times of each unit to a minimum, which will be approx. 10 - 12 weeks for each unit of Toktogul.

It is assumed that two summer seasons will be required for the works, because all units should be available for operation during the winter season.

3.4 Description of the Project

The focus of the project is Toktogul HPP - the most important power plant of the Naryn cascade and intends to replace several components of the plant, which already cause problems during the daily operation or may fail in the near future. Particular attention is given to improve the safety and reliability of the equipment and the entire installation.

At HPP Toktogul following measures are foreseen:

• Rehabilitation of the periphery of the generators requiring the temporary shutdown of the generator actually worked on; • Replacement of four oil operated generator circuit breakers by state-of- the-art SF6 circuit breakers;

4864P15/FICHT-8320034-v2 3-3

• Replacement of four oil-filled 500 kV cables of a length of approx. 1,150 m each. These cables contain all together about 250,000 l of old oil that has to be disposed of; • Renewing of the fire fighting system of the main transformers. The old system is based on a sprinkler system using water for cooling and will be replaced by a system using N2 (gaseous nitrogen) that is blown into the transformers in case of fire to quench it. • Four static excitation and control systems for the main generators and the auxiliary generators, including integrated supervision/control equipment and AVR • Installation of four generator temperature monitoring systems • Measuring program for all four main generators • Two new cast-resin station transformers 6/0.4 kV, 1000 kVA • Installation of four special fire-fighting system for each of the 500 kV transformers • Refurbishment of all four hydraulic turbine governor systems • Replacement of the 6 kV switchgear (23 new cubicles) with auxiliaries (optional) • Replacement of the 0.38 kV switchgear (15 new cubicles) with auxiliaries (optional) • One complete set of rotor windings for generator #2 (optional)

4. Description of the Environment

In the following description of the environment of the Kyrgyz Republic and of Djalal-Abad Oblast, only baseline data are given as being possibly relevant for this rehabilitation Project.

4.1 General Location

The Kyrgyz Republic is a small, land-locked country with an area of approximately 200,000 km2 surrounded by the People's Republic of China, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. A large portion of the country is mountainous as it composes a part of the Ten Shan Mountains. Elevation varies from 132 m to 7,439 m (Lenin and Pobeda Peaks). The country is rich in hydropower resources with most of its hydropower plants situated on the Naryn River, the biggest tributary of the Syr Darya. Population is estimated to be 5.4 million (2009 estimates).

The project area is located in the Djalal-Abad Oblast. This Province consists of 8 Rayons (districts) (see Map 4-1with 75 Aiylokmots (AO, i.e. village councils).

Map 4-1: Djalal-Abad Oblast and its administrative sub-division

The Oblast occupies an area of 33,500 km2 (about 17 % of the whole area of Kyrgyz Republic). More than 70 % of its area is covered by sparsely populated highland of Western Tien Shan. The remaining 30 % represent lands along the boundary between Kyrgyz Republic and Uzbekistan and the Naryn river basin that are densely populated foothills and plain areas of Fergana valley allotted among irrigated cropping (cotton).

4864P15/FICHT-8320034-v2 4-1

4.2 Climate

Due to the remoteness from any oceans, the Kyrgyz Republic has a sharply continental climate, with significant fluctuations of air temperature, long duration and intensity of solar radiance, insignificant cloudiness, and as a whole, modest amount of precipitation.

Frosty weather persists until the end of February and intrusions of cyclones from the South-West during the cold period of the year bring humid, tropical air of the Mediterranean and the Arabic seas, with heavy precipitation in Fergana valley and on the slopes around it.

Djalal-Abad province is located in the belt of subtropics and lies southward of the climate divide that passes along the Talas and Kyrgyz mountain ranges. Cold air masses from the south and north-east are hindered in their intrusion into Djalal-Abad province area. Remoteness from significant in size water reservoirs causes the climate’s continentality and aridity with hot summer, humid spring and autumn, and relatively cold winter. Humid air masses that bring most part of precipitation enter from the west via Fergana valley. The most amount of precipitation falls to the south-west slopes of Fergana range (up to 1000 mm per year). The south-west part of the province is most arid. Here, at the foothills, the amount of precipitation is 100-200 mm per year.

The highest amount of precipitation falls on spring and beginning of summer (up to 70 % of annual amount). The second part of the summer is drought. The climate follows the altitudinal tones. For foothills (up to an elevation of about 1,100 m), the climate of semi-desert is typical with moderate warm winter (temperature of January is +4°C) and hot dry summer (temperature of July is +26°C). Absolute maximum temperature reaches +43°C. The last late frosts occur in April, the first autumn ones in October. At the most part of the Oblast, up to 600 mm of precipitation a year fall, and only higher in the mountains the amount of precipitation excesses this level. Snow cover is not stable, sleet falls in winter. Thickness of snow cover along the foothills is 112 kg/m2 in the mountain areas. Predominant wind direction is south-west, average annual wind speed is 1.8 m/sec.

4.3 Water Resources

4.3.1 Lakes

The Kyrgyz Republic is rich in water resources. About 2,000 lakes occur on the territory of the country with a total area of 6,836.2 km2. The biggest of them, the Issyk-Kul Lake, covers 91.2 % of this area. According to the origin (genesis and morphology), the lakes in the Kyrgyz Republic can be divided into 4 groups: tectonic, blocking, glaciogenic and hydrogeniclakes.

4864P15/FICHT-8320034-v2 4-2

• The Issyk-Kul, Song-Kul and Chatyr-Kul are the lakes of the tectonic origin. These lakes contain the country’s largest water reserves. The area of the smallest of them – Chatyr-Kul lake (153.5 km2) is twice bigger than the summarized area of all the rest highland lakes. • The group of lakes originated by damming of river valleys is not numerous and is represented by relatively large water reservoirs: Sary- Chelek, Kara-Suu, Kulun lakes etc. • The glaciogenic lakes are the most common in the country. They are located at the elevations of 2,500-4,000 m above the sea level. • Hydrogenic lakes originated from the underground work of water are the most typical lakes for the zone of permafrost. They are: the Merzbacher lake (the Engilchek river basin), the Djashyl-Kol lake and the Okugon- Kol lake (both - the Naryn river basin), the Tegermach lake (the Isfairam- sai river basin), and the Saman-Kol lake (the Alabuga river basin).

4.3.2 Rivers

The territory of the Kyrgyz Republic is a part of the Central Asian closed inland basin located at the heart of the continent. Most part of the river network belongs to the Aral Sea basin and refers to the hydrographic systems of the Central Asian biggest rivers: Syr Darya, Amu Darya, Chu and Talas. Here, conditionally one can include the rivers flow into the close lake Issyk-Kul. The river network of the south-east part of the country belongs to the Tarim river basin. At the east border of the country, the river Karkyra forms that is a part of the Lake Balkhash basin.

4.3.3 Rivers and Lakes in Djalal-Abad Oblast

The area of the Oblast is crossed by the largest river of the country. The Naryn River comprises about 30 % of the Kyrgyz Republic’s rivers total surface flow. The rivers of Kara-Darya, Kugart, and Kara-Unkur that flow within the limits of the Fergana valley are significant especially in terms of their irrigation capacity. The rivers of Fergana and Chatkal ranges are primarily of snow- and glacier- derived nourishment. They are characterized by early spring floods. In the territory of the Oblast, a network of channels and water reservoirs were constructed to efficiently use the available water resources.

Two big waterfalls are located in the country park/recreational area “Arslanbob” that is located 70 km from Djalal-Abad, at the foot of the Weber Peak in Babash-Ata range. At the opposite side of the Babash-Ata

4864P15/FICHT-8320034-v2 4-3

range, in the valley of the Chong-Kerei, there is Lake Kutman-Kol located. At the north-east side of the Isfandjailoo range, the Lake Kara-Suu can be found at an altitude of 1,900 m. The biggest lake in Djalal-Abad Oblast is Sary-Chelek Lake (507 ha).

4.4 Fish Fauna in Naryn River and Reservoirs

In the Toktogul, Shamaldy-Sai and Uch-Kurgan water reservoirs several species of fishes occur; some of them are native others have been introduced. Following fish species can be found (see Tab. 4-1):

Pike Asp (Listed in the Red Aspiusesocinus Data Book KR) Grass (Chinese) Carp Ctenopharyngodon Bighead Carp Hypophalmichthys European Mirror Carp Ciprinuscarpius Goldfish Carassiusauratusgibelio Brook Trout Salmo Common Marinka Schizothozaxintermedia Tab. 4-1: Fish species of the Toktogul, Shamaldy-Say and Uch-Kurgan water reservoirs

The Turkestan catfish Glyptosernum reticulatum, that is also included in the KR Red Data Book, does not inhabit the water reservoirs as this is a fish preferring mobile/moving habitats. This species rather inhabits mountain rivers flowing in the Toktogul, Uch-Kurgan and Shamaldy-Sai water reservoirs than artificial lakes around HPPs, with their sufficiently sedentary habitats.

4.5 Protected Areas

There are several nature protecting areas around the hydropower plants concerned. 4 areas are under the responsibility of the State Agency of Environmental Protection: Besh Aral State Nature Reserve, Chychkan Wildlife Refuge, Padysha Ata Reserve and Saimaluu-Tash National Park. There are also several other protected areas under other responsibilities but all are located in such a distance that any impact caused by the rehabilitation measures (included impact by truck movements) can be excluded. No Ramsar sites (wetlands) are located within the Project area.

4.6 Socio-economic Conditions

4.6.1 Kyrgyz Population

The population of the Kyrgyz Republic at the end of 2009 was 5,276,100. This shows an increase of 8.4 % since 2000. About 35 % of the population lives in towns; the rest two thirds live in rural areas. There are about 90 ethnic groups living, with the largest ethnic groups being Kyrgyz (68 %), Uzbeks (14 %), and Russians (10 %). Among the ‘others’ are communities of Dungan (Chinese Muslim), Tajik, Korean, Ukraine, Uygur, Tatar, Kazakh and Turkish. Demographically, the population of the country is young. At the end of 2005, 33 % of the total population was composed of children and adolescents, about 58 % was employable population, and elderly (retired) people comprised approximately 8 %.

4.6.2 Population in Djalal-Abad Oblast

4864P15/FICHT-8320034-v2 4-5

Figure 4-1: Ethnic situation in Djalal-Abad Oblast

Average size of a household in the Oblast is 4.5 persons. After mass migration of Russians and other Slavic people, there were intensive migration processes started among Kyrgyz people as well. Rural Kyrgyz initially moved to Djalal-Abad town, then to Chui Oblast and Bishkek, and lately to the Russian Federation for earnings and employment. High mountain regions that always were the places of traditional dwelling of Kyrgyz people - nomads and cattle-breeders -have practically been depopulated.

Working-age population is growing rapidly, indicating that the human potential of the country is growing. However, there are not enough employment opportunities. The level of unemployment is high. Since 2000, unemployment grew from 7.5 % up to 8.2 % in 2008. The tensest situation emerged in the labor market in 2002, when the unemployment level was 12.5 %. Average age of unemployed people is 31 years. 50.7 % of them are below the age of 29.

Migration is a notable phenomenon for the Kyrgyz population. During 2001-2008, migration outflow was about 269,225 people, or in average more than 29,000 people per year. According to the World Bank, at the last year-end, Kyrgyzstan was among the top ten developing countries, which received major part of money remittances, and ranked 4th in remittances proportion that was estimated at 28 % of the GDP. Earnings of labor migrants play statistically a significant role in the poverty reduction process. In average, an increase in the share of international remittances in GNP by 10 % causes a reducing proportion of living in poverty population by 1.6- 1.9 %. In absolute figures, the amount of money transferred to Kyrgyzstan by migrants in 2008 was as much as US$ 1,200,000.

4864P15/FICHT-8320034-v2 4-6

According to the integrated investigation of household budgets, the poverty level in consumers’ expenditure reduced from 50 % in 2003 up to 43 % in 2005. The number of poor people decreased in 2005 by 3 % as compared with the previous year. For comparison: in 2003 - each sixth citizen got into the poverty stricken category, in 2004 – each seventh one, and in 2005 – almost each ninth citizen. In 2008, poverty level was 44,4 % that is 2,213,000 people, or 412 600 families. Poverty in the country is still mainly a rural phenomenon: about three-quarters of all the poor population lives in rural areas.

4.6.3 Djalal-Abad Oblast Economy

4.6.4 Agriculture in the Oblast

One of the leading industries of the Oblast’s economy is agriculture. Cotton growing is one of the most profitable activities in the agricultural sector of the Oblast. In 2002, 71650 tons of raw cotton was collected in Djalal-Abad Oblast. There are raw cotton processing plants in the Oblast. Also, watermelons, melons and gourds, grapes, fruits and vegetables are cultivated in the Oblast. In 2002, 39,782 tons of vegetables, 23,676 tons of watermelons, melons and gourds, and 31,055 tons of fruits were produced.

4.6.5 Cultural/Historical Heritage

The Kyrgyz Republic from the earliest times was a part of the Central Asian civilization and an important knot at the active routes of international, diplomatic and cultural communications and dialogues between East and West. Being located right at the Great Silk Road, it took in cultural achievements of different ancient civilizations. Numerous archeological objects in the Kyrgyz Republic form an integral part of the World’s cultural heritage.

4864P15/FICHT-8320034-v2 4-7

In Djalal-Abad Oblast, there are several important places of worship and historical monuments dated back to the XI-XII and XVII centuries. The Mausoleum “Shah-Fazil” (XI-XII centuries) that is located near Safid-Bulan village, Ala-Buka district; there is nothing similar among the monuments of Karahanid time in Kyrgyzstan. The Mountain “Arch-Mazar” located nearby the Mausoleum is a Moslem object of worship for the whole Fergana valley. The Mausoleums of Idris Prophet and his standard bearer are located in Jany Bazaar village, Chatkal district and date back to the XVIII century. There is also a mosque located near the Mausoleums.

Rock paintings (petroglyphs) in “Saimaluu-Tash” represent a huge concentration of petroglyphs of Bronze, Sak, Hun and Sarmat epochs (II-I millennium B.C.).

4.6.6 Sector Information Waste disposal in the Kyrgyz Republic

Over a long period of economic activities in Kyrgyzstan a huge amount of industrial and municipal solid wastes containing radionuclides, heavy metals (cadmium, lead, zinc, mercury) and toxic substances (cyanides, acids, silicates, nitrates, sulfates, etc. .) has been accumulated and adversely affecting the environment and human health. In this context, the problem of waste management is becoming increasingly important. Most of the toxic wastes are located on the territory of Issyk-Kul (61.4%) and has increased dramatically since 1997 in connection with gold mine "Kumtor" start-up. Special problem of waste accumulation (about 15 million cubic meters) of overburden dumps, discarded ore and tailings, which occupy large areas near the settlements in the mountains, the drainage basin, etc. The greatest threat of contamination remains in the cross-border areas on the slopes of surrounding mountains of Ferghana valley and Chui (District Mailuu-Suu, Shekaftar etc.). In recent years stabilization and economic recovery has been achieved and begun to revive old ones, which affects the dynamics of industrial waste. Waste disposed of in legally permitted /organized and illegal/unorganized landfills or stored on the territory of an enterprises. The most polluting industries are mining and processing, leather, cement, construction, electric lamp, casting, tanning, chemical, mechanical, heat, electricity, textile industry enterprises etc. among the wastes of other industries dominated by ash and slag wastes energy sector.

Among the most important wastes are (i) radioactive waste, (ii) chemical waste and (iii) domestic waste.

4864P15/FICHT-8320034-v2 4-8

The requirements to use certain types of chemicals are largely general in nature, relating to any type of economic activity, regardless of the specific chemicals used. Public policy in the use of chemicals is aimed primarily at limiting and eliminating the threat posed by chemicals, including POPs on human health and the environment.

The main problem is not completely solved until now, both in Bishkek and across the country– is the problem of disposal of household waste.

The existing landfill in Bishkek is the only place now to dispose waste. It is located 10 km from the city and takes waste from the city and 22 new-built quarters. The actual life of the landfill, which is in operation since 1972 exceeded the standard period of its use by more than 10 years. Currently, the country has practically no processing plant for solid waste. Less than 1% of all household waste produced today is used as a secondary raw material.

Nowadays, in Kyrgyz Republic there are great efforts ongoing to improve the waste management in the country. Thus, Kyrgyz Republic is a party to the Basel Convention "On the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal" (1996), the Rotterdam Convention "On the procedure of prior studies agree on Hazardous Chemicals and Pesticides in International Trade" (2000), the Stockholm Convention " On Persistent Organic Pollutants "(2006). Kyrgyzstan is responsible for the priority of "waste management" of the Regional Action Plan for Environmental Protection (REAP), developed in the framework of the Interstate Commission on Sustainable Development (ICSD), the Central Asian countries with the support of UNEP. At present, the development of strategies for waste management in Central Asia is under the finishing. In Kyrgyzstan, completed the project "Assistance to Kyrgyz Republic in the development of the National Implementation Plan under the Stockholm Convention on POPs", which was prepared with the support of UNEP / GEF.

The country adopted a number of laws governing waste management: the Law "On Production and Consumption" (2001), "On Environmental Protection" (1999), "On the tailings and rock dumps" (2001), "On Earth Interior" (1997), "On Radiation Safety of Population" (1999), "On the State Ecological Expertise" (1999), "On Licensing" (1997), "On local self- government and local state administration" (2002) "On Sanitary and Epidemiological of the Kyrgyz Republic" (2000), as well as a number of subordinate legislation. In the implementation of the Law "On Production and Consumption," in 2004, the State Program of the use of waste production and consumption for the period up to 2010 was adopted.

In 2008 UNDP implemented the project "Capacity building for implementation of the principles of sustainable waste management in the Kyrgyz Republic" (2008-2010). This project is a continuation of the project "Capacity building and capacity building of municipal waste management system in Kyrgyzstan", implemented in 2005-2007.

4864P15/FICHT-8320034-v2 4-9

The project was aimed at:

• improving legislation in municipal waste management; • elaborating recommendations to establish an effective financial mechanism in waste management system; • encouraging recycling of production and consumption; • awareness raising - training activities for public, private entrepreneurs and public employees. • The analysis showed the lack of: • unified tariff system for waste collection, removal and disposal services; • standards of formation and accumulation of waste; • systematic information on the morphological composition of municipal waste; • full statistical report on municipal waste; • monitoring of authorized landfills of municipal waste; • environmental hazard status of authorized landfill sites; • system of separate collection of municipal waste. • •almost complete absence of private sector in providing services to collect, remove and dispose municipal waste.

4.7 Health and Safety at Hydropower Plants

Among others, such first aid training is provided by a special department established within Joint Stock Company Electric Power Plants called ”Service of Reliability and Safety”. The headquarters of this Service is based at Bishkek comprising 6 people working in it.

In the Oblasts branches of this Service are established. In Djalal-Abad Province there are three of them, one at Kara-Kul responsible for Toktogul HPP, and one at Tash-Kumyr being responsible for Uch-Kurgan and Shamaldy-say HPPs. A third branch is located at Kambarata.

Beside first aid instructions, one of the main tasks of this Service is to train workers and other “ITR” (“Engineering and Technical Personnel”) concerning safety aspects when working in a hydropower plant. This Service is training workers in the Oblast; higher skilled engineers will be trained in the headquarters at Bishkek. This training comprises issues like working under high voltage, how to secure a working place with signs, etc.

4864P15/FICHT-8320034-v2 4-10

All workers/employees have to go through an exam to get a competence certificate that shows for what kind of work the worker/employee concerned is qualified. If a worker/employee takes unsatisfactory grade or do not pass (fails) the exam he/she will not get the allowance to do specific works. The higher the qualification the higher the salary is.

There are fixed rules and standards in written form provided to the workers/employees. The major principles are reflected at the following two documents: “Safety requirements under the electric units operation” and “Electric plants and grids technical maintenance regulations”. These requirements and rules are derived from old Soviet and Russian standards. Right now new safety requirements and standards of the Kyrgyz Republic are undergoing the endorsement at the Ministry of Justice KR, and will be available until end of 2011.

With respect to maximum permissible field strength allowed for workers to work in the former USSR a formula to calculate the exposure time of workers is still used in the Kyrgyz Republic. This formula is:

T[hrs] = (50/E) – 2 E = electric field [kV/m]

This means that the exposure time in an electric field of 25 kV/m is 0 hrs. Working in an electric field of 25 kV or more is not allowed without special protecting clothing.

The details for the exposure time are laid down in ‘Safety Regulations under Electricity Generating Equipment operation’ (Moscow, Energoatomizdat, 1987).

Using the above formula there are maps in the installations (as HPPs, substations etc.) available that show areas with high electric fields, indicate the allowed working time and show where protection devices are located. Devices to measure electric fields are available at all HPPs.

Similar precautions exist for the strength of magnetic fields. In general, these fields are less critical compared to the electric field.

4.8 Infrastructure

The geographical location of the Kyrgyz Republic in Central Asia provides favourable conditions to use existing transport corridors as transit. Their further development is seen in the transit maximization and providing high level services. Kyrgyz Republic’s motor roads extent comprises 34,000 km, of them common use motor roads are 18,000 km. In the common highway network, a special role for the national economy belongs to arterial highways of international importance. The length of motor roads of international importance is 4,160 km, more than 1,600 km of them belong to the sub-regional transport system of Asian and European roads (ESCATO, TRASECA) and international CIS highways.

4864P15/FICHT-8320034-v2 4-11

One of the most strategically important transport arterial roads is the Bishkek-Osh highway with a length of about 678 km. It connects the North and South of the country and forms common economic and political space.

In the Kyrgyz Republic, there are well developed and extent electric transmission lines that comprise 6,600 km with voltage of 110 kV and more, as well as 190 substations with voltage of 500, 220 and 110 kV. The National transmission company “JSC National Electric Grid of Kyrgyzstan” (NEGK) carries out electric power supply from all the internal hydropower generating plants to four national distribution companies, 68 direct consumers, as well as import and export through various international electric transmission lines with 500, 220, 110, and 35 kV to neighboring countries: Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan.

4864P15/FICHT-8320034-v2 4-12

The electric power transmission system JSC NEGK is integrated into the United Central Asian Power System. The System is based on the Ring 500 KV, extended with general networks of 220 and 110 kV.

5. Anticipated Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures

All Project activities will be restricted to the property of Joint Stock Company Electric Power Plants. All of the rehabilitation measures will take place within buildings and caverns of the power plants. However, some side effects can impact areas far away from the power plant site. Thus scrap metals and oily papers from the exchange of the 500 kV cables have to be disposed of. About 250.000 l of oil have to be treated in an environmental sound manner. It has to be transported from Kara-Köl to Osh (about 300 km) by trucks and burned at Osh TPP. This enlarges the area of impacts considerably. Details are given in Section 5.1.1.

In the following an overview about possible impacts with corresponding impact levels and possible mitigation measures is given.

The amount is in the Kyrgyz Republic to clean the oil for reuse it is range of 250.000 l. The analysis revealed that recommended to burn the oil in the oil fired there is no PCB in the oil restricting its use (see power plant at Osh. The head of ‘Heating Chapter 5.1.1, and Annex 0). The detection limit of and Electric Equipment Operation and 0.2 ppm was not reached in any case thus the oi Repair Service’ at Bishkek confirmed that the lcan be considered to be free of PCB. oil is suitable to be burned at Osh TPP (see 2 Section 11.1) From replacement of 500 kV cables oil containing paper will have to be disposed of. Oil containing paper shall be taken to local boilers and shall be burnt. The oil is practically free of PCB3

Waste part B Within the Project it is very likely to remove old batteries. Old batteries shall be recycled to the greatest extent possible. If this is not possible they

shall be stockpiled in safe, roofed and concreted areas being fitted with a bund (to be checked by EPP (‘Service of Reliability and Safety’ see Section 9.3). General principles In general, principles of waste minimization shall be followed: first reduction of waste quantity, second recycling as much as possible, third proper dumping of remaining waste.

5.1.1 PCB in oil of 500 kV Cables of Toktogul HPP

In former times, PCBs have been widely used as coolants and lubricants in transformers, capacitors, and other electrical equipment because PCBs possess good insulating properties and are fire retardant.

These substances consist of two phenyl-rings that can contain different amounts of chlorine molecules in the positions given below:

In general, the acute toxicity of PCB is small, but looking at the chronic effects a high toxic potential of PCBs has to be stated. Especially when burned PCBs can be turned into highly toxic and carcinogenic furans (PCDF) and dioxins (PCDD). Therefore special care has to be lead on this issue.

According to US EPA, a transformer is ‘a transformer that contains PCB’ if the concentration of PCBs is higher than 500 ppm. Oil containing between 50 and 499 ppm PCBs is considered to be polluted with PCB and specific methods for disposal are necessary (e.g. specific incineration plants). According to EU Directive 75/439/EEC and amendments oil containing less than 50 ppm PCB can be burned in a regular incineration plant.

In the course of this feasibility study, it is discussed to replace four old 500 kV oil containing cables at Toktogul HPP (see Chapter 3.4, Photo 3-1). Doing so, approximately 250,000 l of old oil including unknown amount of oil impregnated paper have to be handled. In order to decide what appropriate handling is two samples of oil of the cables have been taken and analyzed for PCB in a certified German laboratory. The data revealed that the PCB content is below the detection limit of 0.2 ppm for five single measured indicative PCBs.

Result is: the cable oil contains no detectable PCB and can be considered to be practically free of any PCB and no special treatment or special disposal procedure has to be followed. Thus this oil can either be recycled and reused or burned in a regular oil fired power plant without any environmental constraints.

6. Analysis of Alternatives

Kyrgyzstan has 18 power plants with an installed capacity of some 3700 MW, whereas Toktogul HPP alone with an installed capacity of 1200 MW represents a third of the Kyrgyz generation capacity. All existing Hydro Power Plants (HPPs) are heritage from the Soviet times. They are mainly in poor condition and in need of repair because of lack of maintenance in previous years, even decades. The assessments identified some critical replacements/refurbishments necessary to improve safety and reliability of the power plants.

Toktogul HPP is a unique project and of irreplaceable value for Kyrgyzstan. Its value to the country and the region cannot be overstated. Toktogul HPP supplies base and peak load to the Kyrgyz grid. Is the vital plant for the frequency and voltage regulation of the 500 KV transmission system connecting the Central Asian countries.

The project is a large dam and 1200 MW of completely dispatchable power with over 4,000 hours of full output stored in its reservoir, even if (theoretically) there were no inflows. The facilities were well constructed, and although they are at or past the age where many components must be replaced to maintain generating integrity.

There exists no real alternative then to properly maintain the civil structures and the installed equipment and replace deteriorated and worn-out equipment step by step.

Optional (but rather theoretical) scenarios are:

Scenario 1: Full Rehabilitation of the electro-mechanical equipment extends the expected lifetime of the power plant for further 30- 40 years.

Major drawback is the lack of funds to implement such a project.

Scenario 2: No major overhaul and refurbishment of the installations. The residual life time expectancy of the power plant is estimated roughly to 5 to 10 years, max. 15 years without any major rehabilitation program.

Subsequently the power plant has to be shut-down as soon as a safe operation cannot be assured in the future. This will lead to power-shortage and load shedding all over the Kyrgyz Republic and will affect the whole region.

Toktogul Dam and reservoir provide multi-year storage for all plants that cascade downstream. Also for irrigation and agriculture in the downstream countries, water releases are subject to annual Inter-Governmental Irrigation Agreements (IGIA). Thus to a large extent, trade in electricity is inter- connected with water release agreements. .

7. Information Disclosure, Consultation, and Participation

The meeting was conducted at Karakul mayor house. This meeting was attended by 18 persons representing the local government members (list is attached in Annex 11.5).

Mr. T. Mederov, the Head of the Electric Grid company’s local district department, informed that there is a necessity to install a new ground electric transmission cable as the old (overhead transmission) requires that some trees have to be cut to provide the electric grid’s safe operation, what is stipulated by the relevant state standards. This factor causes disputes between the officers of the local environmental department (protecting the forests of any cutting, in the conditions when the forest in Kyrgyzstan is under frequent timber poaching) and representatives of the electric grid company.

4864P15/FICHT-8320034-v2 7-1

8. Grievance Redress Mechanism

In the course of the construction process, people affected by the project may suffer from accidental negative impacts or feel otherwise treated unjustly. This might happen for various reasons: the contractor does not adhere to sound construction principles, health hazards were incidentally produced, working conditions are found unacceptable, unexpected downstream impacts / environmental pollution were incidentally produced, damages to individual property are not paid for or misunderstandings have arisen and so forth.

Two scenarios can be distinguished:

a) accidental environmental pollution, b) individual grievances related to damage of health, property or other complaints

a) In case of accidental environmental pollution the local / national environmental authority (State Inspectorate for Environmental and Technical Safety) will have to be directly informed and legal procedures started.

Environment Protection Authorities file an administrative case on condemnation to physical or legal entity through the Contractor’s or Beneficiary’s activities.

Address National Court on the basis of the environmental authorities report regarding to damage and analysis from Chemical Laboratory considers the case on two types of damage: 1. Environmental damage; 2. Economic damage. The Court decides on amount of penalties to be paid by party at fault and an order to remove consequences of pollution/damage and making reclamation works on own account.

4864P15/FICHT-8320034-v2 8-1

b) In the case of individual grievances or disagreement with procedures of consultation, notification or valuation, people are encouraged to lodge their complaints with the responsible grievance redress mechanism. The rationale behind is that people can get their problems solved and grievances redressed in a timely and effective manner without directly addressing the court.

During consultation procedure the AP shall be notified orally or in a written form about their rights and the procedure of complaints introduction. The grievance mechanism has to be locally implemented at the level of village institutions and local self- government. Distribution of leaflets as well as putting up information boards are an effective way of distributing information including contact addresses and telephone numbers to be contacted. A professional attitude to accept complaints in a friendly manner and offering all possible help is a crucial qualification for the staff charged with grievance collection. A grievance survey in potentially affected villages will be most beneficial to raise project acceptance within the local population. Lodging complaints and grievance resolution must be cost free for APs.

In a first step complaints resolution will be attempted at the community level in a negotiation procedure with an informal mediator and community authorities. If the grievance persists, a grievance form can be submitted at the responsible committee under the responsibility of the authorized body / EPP. The committee then decides whether to settle or go to court. The decision has to be taken within 15 days. In case of failure of the grievance redress system, the APs can submit their case to the appropriate court of law.

Members of the grievance committee will be the construction contractor, EPP, local administration, the environmental authority in charge, a lawyer and NGO representatives.

The contractor is obliged to carry out the work in accordance with the contractual requirements that include:

• a provisional sum for grievance redress, • a person of staff responsible for grievance procedure (including first contact, periodical site visiting of mitigation measure to be implemented by contractor, record keeping of filed complaints and follow up, periodic reporting); • a telephone line, e-mail address and contact name on project information boards • communication of contacts and grievance procedure to all affected Villages •

4864P15/FICHT-8320034-v2 8-2

• The contractor together will be responsible to include a social (and gender) specialist to: • • coordinate the grievance redress procedure; • arbitrate grievances with contractor, AP and local administration / community leader; • liaison with Ministry of Energy (MoE) and State Inspectorate for Environmental and Technical Safety (SIETS) as appropriate; • liaison with court; • documentation of all grievances and resolution procedure.

Community leaders will act as informal mediators in case of complaints. However APs have the option to choose a different representative or directly liaison with the EPP staff, designated for grievance redress. All grievances and their resolution process shall be documented.

NGOs will monitor grievance redress negotiations, assist with grievance arbitration, raise public awareness. APs need to be informed that in case of problems with the local administration they can address NGO staff or the construction supervision consultant to follow up their complaint.

The aggrieved person (AP) is encouraged to proceed in the following way:

a) Contact constructor’s designated grievance staff / grievance committee representative during periodical site visits in person or via designated telephone number or via the community leader or NGO staff.

b) Lodge complaint and provide information on the case

c) Agree with the construction contractor on specific mitigation measure;

d) Agree with the contractor on time limit for grievance settlement. Grievances have to be settled within two weeks, or as otherwise specified in scheduled agreement.

e) Sign if the mitigation measure has been implemented as agreed

f) Seek redress from EPP if not satisfied with above mentioned procedure

g) Involve appropriate NGOs or construction supervision consultant to liaison with EPP and constructor

h) Seek redress from ADB if not satisfied with response by EPP

i) Seek redress from court if all else fails.

4 The Consultant collected information on possibilities for the enterprises in KR to purchase the metal scrap released after the copper cable removal. It turned out that local enterprise “Kaindy Cable Plant” is not able to take the metal for further recycling as chemical composition of the copper does not meet the Plant’s requirement. 5 The Consultant had a telephone talk with “Temir” State Enterprise (Djalal Abad branch) and requested official documents certifying that this enterprise has the permissions to deal with this sort of economic activities. The State Enterprise operates on the basis of Governmental Decree and has its own official price list that is revised and passes the approval procedure each year and endorsed also by formerly State Agency on Antimonopoly Policy and Supporting Development of Competitiveness. In January 2012, the State Agency got into the structure of Ministry of Economic Regulation. The merger resulted in the establishment of a new Ministry of Economy and Antimonopoly Policy. The price for 1 kg of copper is ranging from 40 up to 170 KGS depending on the metal quality and chemical composition (see the Price List attached in Appendix 11.9). 6 The Consultant roughly calculated amount of copper to be released after the removal of old cable. Taking into account the length of the cable 4596m, its cross- section (625 mm2) and specific weight (8,93 g/cm3) for copper, the total amount would be 102,000 kg. If the price for one kg of copper is about 70 KGS (1,5 USD), then the total price will be about 7 140 000 KGS or 153000 USD (1 USD = 46,5KGS).

9.1.1 Oil from the replacement of the 500 kV cable: collection, transport and disposal

General During rehabilitation measures at Toktogul about 250,000 l of oil will have to be disposed of. The State Agency on Environmental Protection and Forestry proposed to take the oil to Osh TPP that will be able to use this oil for firing. As described in Section 5.1.1, the oil can be considered to be free of PCB, thus it would be possible to burn the oil at Osh power plant following internationally used standards that allows burning in regular power plants if the PCB content of the oil is less than 50 ppm- if it fulfills their requirements. After checking presented oil analysis the head of ‘Heating and Electric Equipment Operation and Repair Service’ within EPP (see Section 11.1) confirmed that this oil can be burned at Osh without any problems. In order to verify the findings of the previous analyses each batch of oil shall be tested for PCB before it is sent to Osh power plant. If PCB is found in the oil an expert study has to be performed what to do with the oil. Oil from the transformer replacement shall not be mixed with the oil from the 500 kV cables.

Map 9-1: Road from Toktogul HPP to Osh TPP (about 300 km)

4864P15/FICHT-8320034-v2 9-5

Because not all cables will be exchanged at the same time, only a part of the total amount of 250,000 l will have to be disposed of in a certain period. One cable contains about 50-60,000 l of oil. Two cables will be exchanged in the first summer period of the construction phase and about three months later the second cable will be taken out. To avoid power cuts during winter time when the power demand is very high the next two cables will be exchanged in the following summer.

Oil collection Along the 500 kV cables several oil outlets are installed. It is recommended to collect the oil at both ends of the cable. The contractor has to ensure that not any oil will pollute the soil. For that the area of the collection site shall be concreted and fitted with a bund that not any oil can reach the soil. This area shall be monitored continuously during taken over the oil visually that not any oil is reaching non concreted parts and pollute the soil. In case of danger the action has to be stopped immediately and appropriate measures have to be applied.

The oil shall be filled in drums with a capacity of about 200 l. This measure shall minimize possible oil pollution in case of a truck accident.

It also should be taken into account that neither Toktogul HPP nor South Center on Responding Emergencies has appropriate (specially targeted) drums for transportation of oil. The drums shall fulfill international standards for seaworthy packing and transportation.

It will be the responsibility of the contractor to provide appropriate drums for oil transportation as described above.

Oil transport

See Section 9.1.2

Oil burning Osh TPP confirmed that they have enough capacity to take over the oil and also to store it, if necessary. Osh TPP has also confirmed (see Section 5.1 ‘waste’ and Section 11.1) that they can burn the oil in an appropriate manner and that OSH TPP fulfills the national norms for such a facility. They will mix the oil with the regular mazut oil 1:1 and use it for firing their power plant.

Osh TPP shall overtake and store the oil in a safe manner to avoid any pollution of the soil (overtaking the oil and storage only at concreted and bunded areas). This area shall be monitored during taken over the oil visually (see Sections 9.1.1, 9.3) that not any oil is reaching non concreted parts and pollute the soil. In case of danger the action has to be stopped immediately and appropriate measures have to be applied

4864P15/FICHT-8320034-v2 9-6

9.1.2 Emergency Response Plan

The drums containing about 200 (or 300 l) of oil shall be transported on trucks with a load capacity of not more than 10 tons per axle and transported along the highway from Kara-Köl via Djalal-Abad to Osh (ca. 300 km). The Consultant was advised by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications to apply in the South Center of KR for Responding the Emergencies for several trucks. If proceed on the assumption that one truck can be loaded with 8 000 liters of oil at a time, then withdrawal of required amount of oil can be made during two days. The South Center also can provide an escort that will be an additional tool for secure transportation of oil.

In order to involve this organization, the Consultant should sign a Contract with the Center and pay for its services according to existing and officially approved price list.

The drums have to be fixed in a safe manner. On a schematic map the staff of State Directorate for Automobile Road Bishkek-Osh under the Ministry of Transport and Communications provided a detailed map and marked dangerous parts of the road associated with seasonal and weather conditions to attract the driver’s attention to possible hazards. The driver has to be informed about the properties before start of their tour.

In Section 11.7 hazardous places and emergency points are given. This list including phone numbers that can be used in case of a contingency shall be handed over to all drivers transporting oil from Toktogul to Osh. If an accident occurs, the EPP (‘Service of Reliability and Safety’) has to be informed immediately (all drivers have to keep phone numbers of responsible EPP in the trucks, see Section 9.3). EPP will start needed actions as are e.g.

• inform responsible police station (if not already done by the truck driver); • inform the responsible water authority in case of a pollution of the Naryn River with oil;

4864P15/FICHT-8320034-v2 9-7

• inform the nearest fire fighting brigade, if needed; • in case of major oil spills to the Naryn River with a risk of a transboundary pollution (Uzbekistan) inform the Ministry for Foreign Affairs.

EPP will submit an emergency response plan (ERP) as part of the IEE to ADB for approval within six months after award of the Works contract. The ERP, to be prepared by EPP with assistance from PIC as a separate manual, shall identify responsible parties and actions to be taken in the event of an emergency relating to the collection of waste oil and its transport from Toktogul HEPP to the power plant where waste oil is to be disposed. EPP will need to distribute the approved ERP to responsible parties at least three months before any collection and transport of waste oil is carried out under the Project.

9.3 Implementation Arrangements

All mitigation measures during construction have to be implemented by the contractor what will be monitored by the Project Implementation Consultant (PIC) as discussed in the following.

As discussed in Chapter 4.7, within Joint Stock Company Electric Power Plants a department ‘Service of Reliability and Safety’ exists. This is the responsible department for dealing with all safety and health issues relevant for workers at the HPPs. Environmental aspects are not covered by this department. The headquarters of this Service is based at Bishkek comprising 6 people working in it. In the Oblasts there are branches of this Service established. In Djalal-Abad Province three of them are existing. The one at Kara-Köl is responsible for Toktogul HPP.

EPP as responsible PIU for the project will recruit a Project Implementation Consultant (PIC). The national and international team of consultants will assist EPP as project supervision consultant on the rehabilitation of Toktogul HPP. The Consultant will also provide capacity building training to EPP staff for project management and operation and maintenance for the Project. The Consultant will be essentially an extension of EPP. The Consultant will assist EPP in assuring that the project is implemented according to the specified standards.

This Consultant assignment will include the update of the environmental management and monitoring plan (EMP) detailing environmental mitigation measures, to address each identified impact and recommend appropriate environmental mitigation measures. He will assess the cost, responsibilities schedule, location and monitoring framework associated with the implementation of the mitigation measures and the EMP and he will assist EPP in monitoring the implementation of the EMP.

In addition, a hazardous waste management specialist may be included in the PIC to review the technical specifications and operating procedures related to the waste management component and carry out the overall supervision.

It is also recommended to assign an environmental expert for the duration of the whole construction period of 3 years. This person shall support and assist the ‘Service of Reliability and Safety’ with respect of implementation of the EMP. He/she shall perform regular site visits (audits, see Section 9.2) that also includes the road between Toktogul and Osh and Osh power plant site to ensure that all mitigation measures are implemented adequately. In case of discrepancies he/she shall implement proper actions to establish the compliance with the EMP. If this is not possible and if the discrepancy is considered to be severe the person in charge shall be empowered to stop the work immediately until compliance is achieved again.

4864P15/FICHT-8320034-v2 9-11

Costs for remuneration, office, allowances, transportation etc. have to be considered. Given a total construction period of 3 years the costs will sum up to approximately 95,000 USD.

The Project Implementation Consultant will be not only responsible for implementation of the technical refurbishment measures but also for all issues concerning health, safety and environment (HSE).

The reporting needs are discussed in Section 9.4.

9.4 Reporting

9.5 Costs of Environmental Management Plan

Extra costs with respect to environmental mitigation are related to additional measures to ensure safe management of the oil wastes (collection, transportation and disposal), as well as safe stockpiling and final disposal of old batteries and oil-containing (with possible PCBs) transformers. All mitigation measures given above are included in the regular construction costs.

In order to supervise appropriate implementation of the EMP an estimate of monitoring cost of 95,000 USD will be necessary. However the PIC will be requested to provide detailed budget for environmental monitoring

10. Conclusion and Recommendations

As it can be seen from Tab. 5-1 and Tab. 5-2 only some low negative impacts occur mainly during the construction phase. During the operational phase, the positive impacts are obvious and consist in a much more reliable power supply, not only for the Kyrgyz population but also for the entire Central Asian region taking into account the intention of establishing a regional system in the power sector with coordinated energy generation and energy transmission between the Central Asian countries including export to Afghanistan/Pakistan (CAREC).

Mitigation measures are given in Chapter 9.1 of this report and necessary monitoring actions during construction and operational phases are discussed in Chapter 1.1. Transboundary problems will not come up by the Project because the water regime will change at any time neither during construction nor during operational phases. Other important issues are the recycling of demolished steel and copper structures and burning of the old oil from replacing the 500 kV cables at Toktogul at Osh fired power plant. For that a disposal management plan has been set up.

If the stipulated measures are implemented, the positive effect of this Project on the social side is eminent (regional, national and international) whereas the negative impacts on the environmental side are very low.

11.4 General Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6) Guidelines

Some guidelines for proper handling of SF6 are given below (there are other equivalent guidelines existing that can be used depending from which country the supplier is coming):

• IEC (DIN EN)10 60376 ‘Specification and acceptance of new sulfur hexafluoride’ • IEC (DIN EN) 60480 ‘Guide to the checking of sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) taken from electrical equipment’ • IEC 61634 ‘High-voltage switchgear and controlgear – Use and handling of sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) in high-voltage switchgear and controlgear’.

The amount of SF6 emitted during the operational phase by GIS stations will be absolutely minimized if:

• Best Available Technique (BAT) is used; • The guidelines mentioned above are followed; • The recommendations of the International Council on large Electric Systems (CIGRE: Sf6 Task Force: Handling and given Recycling of SF6 Mixtures) is taken into consideration (www.cigre.org); • ISO 14040 is followed; • Detectors indicate immediately any leak from which SF6 will be emitted.

2 Subject of investigation

In total four samples of oil, filled in glass bottles and marked with a paper note with cyrillic letters. Only the number of each sample could be identified (1 to 4).

3 Tests

Following properties have been measured: • Dielectric loss factor and insulation resistance, using the Baur DTL (internal number of test equipment 52.101), test acc. IEC 247/VDE 0380 • Dielectric strength, using the Baur DTA 75 (internal number of test equipment 53.101), test acc. 156/63 / VDE 0370/12.78 • Moisture content, using a Metrohm Karl Fischer Coulometer 652 with oven unit (internal number of test equipment 62.102)

4 Results

Results see following table: Property Unit Sample 1 Sample 2 Sample 3 Sample 4

Moisture Content ** ppm < 50 < 50 < 50 < 50 Note: * Average of 10 single tests; “>” means that there was not in all tests an electrical breakdown up to the limit of the test equipment (nominal 75 kV, real app. 80 kV). Only sample 2 and 3 had one breakdown in a range of app. 65 kV. All other tests stopped at the limit without breakdown. The Dielectric strength is calculated with an distance of 2,5 mm for the electrodes. ** The samples were filled in bottles of an alcoholic drink. It is not known how the conditions of these bottles were before filling in the samples (were they cleaned and dried?). On the other hand the samples shows all clear what should indicate that all was ok. In case the oil has a higher content of water it will look cloudy. So the results should be ok. For our lab it’s usual to give no nominal results less than 50 ppm because the absolute content of water is in the range of the blank value. So in this case.

5 Conclusion

Based on these results a significant aging of the oil was not visible.

JSC “Electric Power Plants”

The State Agency on Environmental Protection and Forestry under the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic having observed the submitted inception report on the Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) of ABD project “Rehabilitation of the power sector of KR”, would like to inform.

Project implementation zone is located in Djalal-Abad oblast.

It is envisioned by the project to implement the following rehabilitation works at Toktogul HPP: • Rehabilitation of the periphery sectors of generators; • Replacement of four oil operated generator circuit breakers by the modern SF6 circuit breakers; • Replacement of four oil-filled 500 kV cables of a length of approx. 1,150 m each. These cables contain all together about 250,000 l of old oil that has to be disposed of; • Renewing of the fire fighting system of the main transformers. The old system is based

on a sprinkler system using water for cooling and will be replaced by a system using N2 (gaseous nitrogen) that is blown into the transformers in case of fire to quench it.

Possible impacts on environment, during the project implementation can be related with: • Disposal of old oil and oil impregnated paper possibly containing PCB; • Disposal of steel, copper, ceramics and other wastes;

All rehabilitation measures will be implemented within the facilities and building constructions of the EPP.

An Environmental Management Plan (EMP) has been developed within the IEE. The Plan envisages monitoring and mitigation measures during rehabilitation works. Metal scrap wastes are disposed at “Temir” State Enterprise, while oil paper wastes and 250,000 l of old cable oil, caused by 500 kV cable replacements, are disposed at Osh TPP. All mitigation measures during rehabilitation works shall be implemented by the contractor in accordance with the legislation on Environmental Protection of the Kyrgyz Republic. Joint Stock Company Electric Power Plants shall regularly conduct monitoring of the proposed impact mitigation measures in full duration of the project implementation period. After observation of the submitted materials, the State Agency on Environmental Protection and Forestry within the Government of KR reconciles the submitted report on the Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) of ABD project on “Rehabilitation of the power sector of the Kyrgyz Republic”.
