KAZAKHSTAN TIAN SHAN EXPEDITION 2019 July 07 – July 20 KAZAKHSTAN TIAN SHAN EXPEDITION 2019 July 07 – July 20 CACSEE EXPEDITIONS are very spartan and address experienced travelers and adventurers. Board is not included – we will cook together, eat at locals and share the costs. The schedule is more intense but also more flexible. The hikes are more challenging and the groups are smaller. The EXPEDITION to the TIAN SHAN Mountains welcomes anyone to discover SOUTH KAZAKHSTAN, its diverse beautiful landscapes and its traditional society on the eve of rapid modernization. Route & Program The expedition route and the draft of the program overview below are variable and may still change slightly. At this early stage of planning, we cannot guarantee that all excursion destination points will be reached, especially due to adverse circumstances (weather, road conditions, etc.). There is the possibility to target other places according to the interest profile of the group. Please note that not all stops are listed in the program overview.

  • 5.2 Environmental Impact Assessment: Section 2 97
    East West Highway Project: Almaty – Khorgos: Draft Environmental Impact Assessment East West Highway Project Public Disclosure Authorized (Almaty – Khorgos, Kazakhstan) Draft Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) Public Disclosure Authorized PREPARED FOR : COMMITTEE FOR ROADS , M INISTRY OF TRANSPORT , A STANA , KAZAKHSTAN PREPARED BY: Public Disclosure Authorized SNC L AVALIN , A STANA , K AZAKHSTAN Public Disclosure Authorized Road Section 1, 2 and 3: Km 24.1 – Km 360 1 East West Highway Project: Almaty – Khorgos: Draft Environmental Impact Assessment EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Project The Project involves the rehabilitation, upgrading and substantial new construction of a ca. 330 km long road Section which traverses a variety of environments and landscapes. The Project has all the physical characteristics of a large linear infrastructure project, with significant spatial extension, visible impact on landscape, biosphere and land use patterns, and significant impacts on topography, climate, natural conditions and human activity. The alignment crosses of a variety of land forms, land use types, and micro-climatic zones. The project is being structured and designed in three different Sections of roughly equal length. These Sections are described below, including features and information relevant for safeguards classification and the design of safeguards instruments. Section 1 (024-126 km) starts north of Almaty city and ends at the Shelek River This Section begins at about 20 km NNE from the city centre of Almaty (the chainage refers to a reference point in Almaty). Much of the road (ca. 70-80%) will follow a new alignment. The first 10 km run through what can still be seen as suburban zone of Almaty, characterized by a dense network of infrastructure (roads, power lines, railroad) and numerous satellite settlements, with intense agricultural land use in non-built-up areas.
