introduction

During the engineering of the facility “Dengizkul deposit Khauzak and Shady Sites Construction” environmental impact assessment (EIA) procedure was analyzed.

Draft Environmental Impact Statement (draft EIS) was approved by the State Environmental Expertise under State Environmental Committee of the Republic of Uzbekistan as of April, 11 2005 No 18/113z (Note: Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement to Addenda to the field development process flow diagram). Later on a draft EIS for “Addenda to Khauzak and Shady of Dengizkul deposit field development process flow diagram” that also received a positive expert review as of June, 27 2007 No18/213z.

The Directorate-General for State Environmental Review gave a favorable conclusion for the work performed (EIS) as of November, 28 2005 No 18/394z. EIS tasks are admitted to have been performed. The facility under design is supposed to settle such important challenges as:

• 
  placing on production of Dengizkul deposit sites preserved for a long time;
  
• 
  increase in hydrocarbon (gas) production volume up to 3,0 bln m³ per year;
  
• 
  attraction of foreign investments;
  
• 
  stable provision of Mubareksk gas processing plant of raw materials within a long period of time.
  

According to the State Environmental Expertise Review development of the II stage of EIA procedure - Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) was required as ecological support.

The number of issues to be considered was determined in view of the design specifications set when considering the “draft EIS”.

At the final design complementary solutions have been made, which can change works influence on the environment to a certain degree. A necessity thereupon emerged to specify and adjust design solutions as well as develop norms of harmful substances emissions into the atmosphere (MPE), water bodies and solid wastes (MPW)

To settle these issues “Statement on Environmental Consequences of Khauzak and Shady of Dengizkul deposit Construction” was drawn up and is presented in this work.

According to the applicable regulations the Statement on Environmental Consequences shall include:

• 
  design solutions adjustment and other measures taken in accordance with draft Environmental Impact Statement review by the State Environmental Committee authorities;
  
• 
  environmental standards regulating expertise facility operation;
  
• 
  Requirements to works arrangement and measures performance under the environmental supporting documents to the facility operation;
  
• 
  Main conclusions on possibility to conduct economic activities.
  

Methods of works performance are based upon the methods of EIA procedure adopted in the republic and include features of the facility considered.

Design, library materials, books as well as “Regulation on State Environmental Expertise” approved by the order of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan as of December,31 2001 No 491 regulating the “draft EIS” structure and scope and other applicable regulations in environmental protection were used in the present work.

The document approved in State Environmental Committee authorities of the Republic of Uzbekistan shall be further submitted by the Customer to the review committee for commissioning of a facility. Statement of Environmental Consequences sets norms to control current activities of users of natural resources by the State Environmental Committee territorial authorities of the Republic of Uzbekistan to prevent from violations of environmental norms and rules.
