Introduction 1. The Republic of Kazakhstan (RoK), acting through the Ministry of Transport and Communications (MOTC) proposes to undertake the upgrading of the Aktau – Beineu Road. The works are divided into two „Tranches‟ both funded through the Asian Development Banks (ADB) Multitranche Financing Facility for the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) (Mangystau Oblast Sections) Investment Program. This Report focuses on Tranche 2 of the Aktau – Beineu Road, some 168 kilometres of road between Aktau and Shetpe. 2. This Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is the second updated version of the of the EIA prepared by the project preparatory technical assistance consultant on behalf of the Ministry of Transport and Communication (MOTC) and its implementing agency, the Committee of Roads (MCOR) of Mangystau Oblast. B. Project Description 3. The Project will comprise upgrading of a 168 km section (Tranche 2) of the national highway A-380 between Aktau and Shetpe. Located within a steppe-desert environment, the project will not involve realignment and will be confined within the right-of-way (with the exception of the construction of bypasses around both the towns of Zhetibay and Shetpe en route). The Project consists of two sub-sections (Figure ES-1): Sub-Section 1

  • COVID-19 Central Asia Infographic Series
    COVID-19 in Central Asia: Infographic Series KAZAKHSTAN Kazakhstan first announced a state of emergency and imposed a nationwide lockdown from March 16 to May 11. As cases started to climb after the lockdown lifted, and new data collection methods pointed to more 78,486 49,488 585 infections in the country than previously counted, the Total Confirmed Recovered Deaths government announced a second nationwide lockdown COVID-19 Cases from July 5 to August 2. Kazakhstan has the highest Source: JHU number of COVID-19 infections relative to population size in Central Asia. Nur-Sultan (formerly Astana) Atyrau Tengiz Oil Field Almaty IMPACT TO THE PRIVATE SECTOR COVID-19 is the biggest shock to Kazakhstan's economy in two decades, and has had a negative impact on economic growth. The economy is heavily reliant on foreign investment through ongoing oil, gas, and infrastructure projects. The Tengiz Oil Field in the Atyrau region has reported upwards of 2,000 cases of COVID-19 among 36 shift camps and 57 companies operating in the field. Chevron-led Tengizchevroil owns the site, and has temporarily paused non-essential work activities in an attempt to slow the spread of cases. Entry restrictions may affect the movement of migrant workers staffing the project site. The capital, Nur-Sultan, and Kazakhstan's financial hub, Almaty, have led the count in confirmed cases of COVID-19. Hospitals in both major cities are reportedly nearing full capacity, and may be unavailable to new patients. In Nur-Sultan, the Presidential Hospital and City Hospital #2 recently resumed some level of surgical and other services, opening up access to acute trauma care.

  • Analysis of Dust Aerosol Retrievals Using Satellite Data in Central Asia
    Article Analysis of Dust Aerosol Retrievals Using Satellite Data in Central Asia Longlei Li * and Irina N. Sokolik School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA 30332, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-404-754-1177 Received: 8 June 2018; Accepted: 19 July 2018; Published: 24 July 2018 Abstract: Several long-term monitoring of aerosol datasets from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board Terra/Aqua, Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR), Sea-Viewing Wide Field-of-View Sensor (SeaWiFS) were used to derive the dust aerosol optical depth (DOD) in Central Asia based on the Angstrom exponent parameter and/or the particle shape. All sensors agree very well on the interannual variability of DOD. The seasonal analysis of DOD and dust occurrences identified the largest dust loading and the most frequent dust occurrence in the spring and summer, respectively. No significant trend was found during the research period in terms of both DOD and the dust occurrence. Further analysis of Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) aerosol products on a case-by-case basis in most dust months of 2007 suggested that the vertical structure is varying in terms of the extension and the dust loading from one event to another, although dust particles of most episodes have similar physical characteristics (particle shape and size). Our analysis on the vertical structure of dust plumes, the layer-integrated color ratio and depolarization ratio indicates a varied climate effect (e.g., the direct radiative impact) by mineral dust, dependent on the event being observed in Central Asia.
