3.9 Coordinating State Ecological Expertise DocumentationDocumentation submitted to the state ecological expertise must be agreed with the owner and user of natural resources, state control and supervision authorities, and other organizations concerned (7). The documentation shall be agreed with the following organizations:
Involvement of the above organizations depends on location and circumstances of the site and the nature of proposed activities. 3.10 Decision of State Ecological ExpertiseArticle 13 of the Law (2) states that decision of State Ecological Expertise shall be a document prepared by an expert committee and containing sound conclusions on admissibility of environmental impacts of the assessed activity and project feasibility. A positive decision of the State Ecological Expertise is one of the compulsory conditions for project financing, crediting, investing, and implementing. A positive decision of the State Ecological Expertise is issued when the initiator (customer) has identified all “mitigation” measures – technical and administration approaches (equipping with treatment facilities, use of less waste and wasteless technologies), environmental requirements, and subject to availability of coordinating documentation. In case of a negative SEE decision the project initiator shall have a right to submit materials for repeated expertise (review) subject to their redesigning with consideration of recommendations provided for in the decision. 3.11 Post-project analysis and controlThis type of activity is a continuation of the EIA process at the project implementation stage. Post-project analysis includes:
These activities shall be accomplished at all stages of construction, operation and shut down of an object. To conduct post-project analysis the commission including representatives of project initiators, contractors, designers, experts, and public, is formed. However, there are some doubts regarding accomplishment of mitigation activities monitoring due to the present difficult economic situation in the Kyrgyz Republic.
4.1 Phase 1The Environmental Monitoring and Management Capacity Building technical assistance project was implemented in the Kyrgyz Republic from July 1998 till March 2000 (ТA-2934-KGZ and TA-67300201). The Project was financed by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Government of Finland (phase 1), and implemented by Scott Wilson Consulting Firm and Finish Environment Institute. The Ministry on Environment Protection (MEP) of the Kyrgyz Republic was an executive agency. The technical assistance objective was to enhance Kyrgyz institutions’ capacity on efficient environmental monitoring accomplishment and data management. To enhance capacity the institutional structure was enriched by the State Hydro-meteorology Agency (SHMA), Health Ministry (Sanitary and Epidemic Service (SES)), State Geology Agency (SGA), and Chui-Bishkek Territorial Environmental Administration. The following actions were implemented to reach the objective:
Research on the following subjects were conducted in the frame of the project:
To process field data and archive information, computers with special software were purchased and installed in the MEP, SHMA, SES and SGE offices. The Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) was created and followed by two-week user training. To create Network Information Database, primary server supposed to connect servers installed in SHMA, SES and SGA was installed in MEP. However, this system discontinued its operation after project termination due to lack of continuous support. 4.2 Phase 2The Environmental Monitoring and Management Capacity Building Technical Assistance Project (Phase 2) was extended on March 6, 2001 for 18 more months. The Project has been implemented by Chemonics International (USA) and Finish Environmental Institute. The Project is aimed at continuation of efforts and improvement of management capacity enhancing achieved during the implementation of project first phase in the Chui Province, and expansion of capacity building activities to the Osh and Djalal-Abad Provinces during the second phase. Ak-Buura River and Osh sewage treatment facilities in the Osh Province and MAiyluu-Suu and its suburbs, including the MAiylu-Suu River, in Djalal-Abad Provinces are selected as research objects. Training courses to raise computer literacy and English proficiency level were arranged in the framework of the project for the staff of the Ecology and Environmental Monitoring Department of the State Agency for Environmental Protection and Forestry of the Kyrgyz Republic. Such courses were also arranged for employees of other departments and divisions of the SAEPF, as well as ministries and institutions such as Health Ministry, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Agriculture, water and Processing Industry, National Statistics Committee, and Djalal-Abad and Osh Provincial Environmental Protection Department. During the second phase of the project the Project Web-site was designed (www.ecomon.kg.), as was a Resource Book, Information Management System (IMS) and draft Environmental Monitoring Database (EMDB). The IMS introduces and describes procedures on data input with the help of special forms and presented packages. It also describes system structure and procedures to extract information from the Kyrgyz Ecomon EMBD. On the whole, the project implementation significantly contributed to environmental management capacity enhancement in the Kyrgyz Republic, and acquiring valuable experience by project participants to conduct environmental monitoring. Project’s brief was prepared based on the information provided by Ms. O.S. Rustambekova, the National ТА 3499-KGZ Project Coordinator.
