In 2018 manufacturers and consumers of ozone depleting substances (ODS) in Russia will have to comply with the set maximum volume of each particular ODS that is to be consumed or manufactured.
The guidance is recommended for all organisations that emit radioactive substances into the ambient air from stationary air emission sources.
The guidance contains methods for monitoring air emissions of radioactive substances. Organisations may use monitoring methods other than those set out by the guidance, provided that the use of such methods has been justified.
As of 1 October 2017, all organisations performing activities that have an impact on the environment are required to comply with the adopted environmental protection rules (the Rules).
The Rules contain environment protection requirements regulating:
A number of Hygienic Norms have been adopted that prescribe the maximum permissible concentrations for certain polluting substances in workplace air, ambient air of residential areas and in water bodies used for drinking and municipal purposes.
Workplace air
As of 28 August 2017, revised greenhouse gas emission factors apply to facilities performing certain types of activity, including energy generation, production of cement, ammonia, phosphorus, etc. Greenhouse-gas (GHG) emission factors are set in the CO2 equivalent and are to be used to estimate emissions arising from producing a certain product unit.
As of 27 July 2017, individual air emission limits set for facilities and their emission sources (so-called “PDV projects”), are to be valid for 7 years, instead of 5.
Any facility emitting polluting substances into the ambient air is required to develop individual air emission limits (PDV Project) and to have it approved with the environmental authorities.
Starting from 1 October 2017, state inspectors are to use checklists for inspections checking compliance with statutory requirements in the following areas:
Russia has set import restrictions for a number of ozone depleting substances (ODS) for a period starting from 25 August until 31 December 2017. The restrictions were set by Decree No. 888 of 27 July 2017.
As of 1 January 2018, organisations that emit regulated hazardous substances into the ambient air, have to use the adopted methods for calculating the dispersion of air pollutant concentrations at the height of two meters from the ground level and at the distance not exceeding 100 km from the emission source as well as for vertical distribution of air pollutant concentrations.
The following methodologies have been adopted:
As of 9 June 2017, organisations intending to implement projects that aim to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and absorption increase, are required to follow the revised procedure in order to have such projects approved by the relevant authority in Kazakhstan.
