Chapter 6. General characteristic and directions of implementation of the subprogramme 1 "Studying of subsoil and development of mineral resources"

Sustainable social and economic development of the republic, its economic safety are in many respects determined by availability of mineral raw material resources, their rational and complex use.

Creation and development of mineral resources – difficult and multistage process at which first (regional) stage receipt of information on geological structure of the territory (region) by means of carrying out geological film-making works is performed. Then stages of search and assessment of mineral deposits and investigation of the revealed fields (preparation for commercial operation) follow.

Efficiency of realization of search tasks is determined by identification of new mineral deposits by the production rate of the advancing regional complex geological, geophysical and other work types.

The basis of industry structure of national economy by 2030 will be constituted by the innovative industrial clusters and productions created based on the available inventories of mineral resources and raw zones of agricultural products. For the maximum providing the organizations with mineral raw material resources, increase in the export potential, decrease in dependence of economy on import of mineral raw materials timely preparation of inventories of minerals for industrial development on the revealed fields is necessary.

The mineral resources of the republic include fields of different types of minerals, the most important of which are fuel and energy resources (oil, associated gas, peat, brown coals and combustible slates), agrochemical raw materials (potash and stone salt), industrial and construction raw materials (construction and facing stone, raw materials for production of cement and lime, sands construction and glass, sand-gravel material, clays ceramic, refractory, for light fillers and others), fresh and mineral underground waters. Besides, fields of iron ores, gypsum, rare metals, phosphorites, aluminous and soda raw materials, industrial brines are revealed.

Oil fields, peat, potash and stone salts, dolomite, construction materials, fresh and mineral underground waters based on which industrial bodies successfully work are developed.

The republic buys oil, gas, raw materials for metallurgical production, facing stone, glass sands, bentonite and kaolinic clays, gypsum and construction materials on the basis of gypsum, apatites, phosphorites. Also considerable amounts of materials, first of all for mechanical engineering and instrument making, products of metallurgical production are imported.

The structure of inventories of minerals of the developed and reserve fields on many line items, except for raw materials for the petrochemical industry, in general corresponds to requirements of the operating processing industries. At the same time the disproportion regarding security with inventories on regions is observed. In the Grodno region in deficit raw materials for the cement industry, in Gomel – quartz sands for the glass industry.

The modern mineral resources of Belarus are created during the period since 1945 until the end of the 1980th years. The Starobinsky field of potassium salts is found in 1949, Petrikovskoye – in 1966, industrial oil – in 1964, the Diabase redkometallny field – in 1965, Zhitkovichsky brown-coal – in 1969. Combustible slates are revealed in the early sixties, iron ore fields – in the 1960-1970th years, ore bauxite-davsonitovye – in the late seventies – the beginning of the 1980th years, the Brinevsky field of gypsum – in the 1979-1980th years, potentially diamondiferous tubes of explosion – in 1989.

In the late eighties in Belarus exploration works on the found fields for the purpose of their additional exploration and providing stock gain of industrial categories began to dominate, and the geological film-making work was winded down. Since the beginning of the 1990th years did not result from significant geological opening so far, and the territories this about geological structure received as a result of geological film-making works of the pre-perestroika period considerably became outdated in connection with progress in development of geological science.

Regional geological studying of subsoil – obligatory and major element of system of forming and use of mineral resources, development of basic and applied scientific research of subsoil. Systematic evidence-based carrying out regional geological film-making works for the purpose of forming of search backlog, identification of new structures and complexes, perspective for production, is one of strategic directions of development of geological industry.

For opening of new fields in the conditions of geologically the "closed" territory of our country needs achievement of the level of regional geological studying of subsoil meeting the requirements of the present due to use of the latest geologic-geophysical equipment and technologies.

Now regional works on geological studying of subsoil are carried out in radius of 30 km around the industrial platform of the Belarusian NPP under construction. The set of geological, hydrogeological, engineering-geological and geological and ecological cards for assessment of condition of the geological circle prior to operation of nuclear power plant will be constituted. Total area of covering shooting of scale 1:50 000 constitutes 2,55 of thousand sq.km. According to preliminary data in this territory two perspective sites of mineral raw materials, sharply scarce for the Ostrovetsky area, – sand-gravel material will be allocated.

In 2014 the stock gain by the following types of minerals is provided:

oil of categories A + B + C1 – 0,835 of one million t, categories C2 + D0 – 0,538 of one million t, potassium salts – 1 154 276,5 of thousand tons, marly and cretaceous breeds – 1 295 669 thousand tons, sand silicate – 1990, thousand CBM, dolomite – 530 479 thousand tons, gravel and sand mixes and sands construction – 54 295,7 thousand CBM, clays – 5652 thousand CBM, peat – 4214,2 of thousand CBM, fresh underground waters – 21,37 of thousand CBM a day.

In 2014 amounts of production of main types of minerals made: oil – 1,645 of one million t, potassium salts – 44,99 of one million t, rock salt – 1,166 of one million t, dolomite – 3,59 of one million t, construction and facing stone – 8,67 of million cubic meters, chalk-marl – more 10,54 of one million t, clays – more 1,1 of one million t, sand, gravel – more 6,4 of one million t, sands for glass production – 0,64 of one million t, peat – 1,9 of one million t.

For the first time in the Republic of Belarus the technological scheme of modification of subbentonite clays of the Ostrozhansky field by the calcinated soda and magnesium oxide pilot production schedules of receipt of magnesium oxide from karnallitovy solution and the modified bentonite dry mud, specifications on dry mud bentonite modified are developed for boring solutions, pilot batches of magnesium oxide weighing 10 kg and the modified bentonite dry mud weighing 50 kg are acquired.

In 2014 40 mineral deposits, including JSC Belaruskali – northern and southern sites of the Petrikovsky field of potassium salts are transferred to industrial development.

Main objectives of implementation of the subprogramme 1 following:

carrying out search works for the purpose of building-up of own mineral resources;

carrying out regional geological film-making works for the purpose of identification of perspective sites for development of mineral deposits.

Indirect economic effect which does not give in to direct quantitative assessment is expected in the form of creation of digital versions of geological cards, including special content (engineering-geological, hydrogeological, geoecological), for application by wide range of the users in case of decision making connected with improvement of quality of life of the population and economic development of regions, decisions in the field of land management, construction, farming, mitigation of natural dangers and also when carrying out environmental monitoring.

The total amount of financing of the subprogramme 1 will constitute 308 873 627, ruble, including at the expense of means of the republican budget – 63 298 252, the 6th ruble, at the expense of means of the organizations – 245 575 374, the 45th ruble.

Actions for regional geological studying of subsoil, search works, and also the actions connected with studying of patterns of forming of the mode and balance of fresh and mineral underground waters will be financed by means of the republican budget. The actions directed to stock gain of nonmetallic minerals including underground waters, will be financed generally by funds from investors and the organizations.

Development and deployment of modern production technologies of exploration works and procurement of processing equipment will be conducted through means of the organizations.

Accomplishment of the subprogramme 1 is possible on condition of implementation of the modern methods of geological shooting allowing to reduce considerably costs for holding actions for geological shooting and creation of geological cards and terms of their accomplishment thanks to large-scale use of information and communication technologies, methods and remote-sensing instruments of Earth and modern drilling equipment. For the purpose of receipt of the maximum economic effect in case of acquisition and operation of the modern equipment the mechanism of its purchase at the expense of means of the organizations is provided. If necessary credit resources of banks or leasing state-owned companies will be used.

Chapter 7. General characteristic and directions of implementation of the subprogramme 2 "Development of the public hydrometeorological service, mitigation of the consequences of climate change, improvement of quality of atmospheric air and water resources"

The international experience demonstrates that the warning of the dangerous hydrometeorological phenomena allows to take timely at the national level necessary protective measures and to reduce material and human losses from their impact to 40 percent.

Hydrometeorological observations are made by 50 meteorological stations, 8 aviation meteorological civil stations, 2 aerological stations, 3 meteorological radars, 109 hydrological posts.

The successful policy in the field of improvement of quality of atmospheric air in the Republic of Belarus directed to decrease in number of emissions of pollutants in atmospheric air from stationary sources and from transport according to requirements of the Convention on cross-border air pollution of long distances of November 13, 1979 ratified by the Decree of Presidium of the Supreme Council of the Belarusian SSR of May 14, 1980 No. 175-X "About ratification of the Convention on cross-border air pollution on long distances" and protocols to it is pursued.

Emissions of pollutants in atmospheric air for 2009-2014 were reduced by 16 percent in case of simultaneous gross domestic product growth and the number of vehicles.

The condition of atmospheric air in the majority of 20 industrial cities of the republic in which stationary observations were performed is estimated as steadily good that testifies to success of the pursued policy in the field of protection of atmospheric air.

For control of growth of emissions of pollutants from stationary sources in the permissions to emissions issued to the organizations conditions on their decrease by holding actions for construction, reconstruction, upgrade of gas-purifying installations are established. In the Republic of Belarus about 90 percent of emissions of pollutants from stationary sources are caught and neutralized by gas-purifying installations.

One of activities of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection is regulation of impact on climate. The Republic of Belarus is the party of the Framework convention of the United Nations on climate change accepted in New York on May 9, 1992 and the Kyoto protocol to this Framework convention and fulfills the assumed international obligations – preparation of national climatic policy, development of national communications concerning climate change, annual development of greenhouse gas inventories, carrying out climatic observations and scientific research.

According to the obligations containing in article 4 of the Framework convention of the United Nations about climate change and Article 2 of the Kyoto protocol to the Framework convention of the United Nations on climate change, the Republic of Belarus shall perform domestic policy and realize the actions directed to decrease in anthropogenous impact on climate.

Since 1995 in the republic growth of economy is noted. By 2012 the gross internal product per capita taking into account parity of purchasing power increased in 4, time. Emissions of greenhouse gases also increased because of growth in volumes of production and consumption of fuel, and also waste disposal. For 1995-2012 the annual average surplus of GDP constituted percent 7,9, and annual average surplus of emissions of greenhouse gases – percent 0,4 silt. The Uglerodoyemkost of economy decreased in time 3,9 – the highest decrease indicator in Europe.

The country managed to reduce considerably emissions of greenhouse gases, effectively realizing measures with rather low marginal costs. For 1995-2005 percent 1,6 from GDP was spent for actions for energy efficiency, energy saving and implementation of renewable energy resources on average. In 2006-2010 these investments constituted already percent 3,4 from GDP, in 2011-2015 – 5 percent. The share of the public budgetary funds in these investments constituted at least 30 percent. It gave the chance, for example, on such indicator as power consumption of GDP, to approach quickly other developed countries with similar climate. Belarus has one of the lowest values of uglerodoyemkost of power system in Europe – about t 0,3 in CO2 equivalent on production of 1 MWh of heat and electrical energy, having approached on performance indicator of use of installed capacity such countries as Japan and the USA.

Water resources of our country are sufficient for satisfaction of modern and perspective requirements. Belarus purposefully takes measures for rational use and protection of water resources.

The territory of the Republic of Belarus is watershed of basins of the Baltic and Black seas. In total on the territory of Belarus more than 20 thousand rivers with a total length of 90,6 of one thousand km flow, about 10 thousand lakes are located, 153 water storage basins are created.

Hydrometeorological yielded and results of climatic projections demonstrate that water resources are vulnerable to climate change and can be exposed to its seasonal impact with large-scale effects for ecological systems. Adaptation to climate change is social and economic need. Evaluating drain of the Dnieper Rivers and Pripyat will allow to determine adaptation measures.

Since May 21, 2015 the new Water code of the Republic of Belarus drafted taking into account intergovernmental agreements on rational use and protection of cross-border waters (with the Russian Federation, Ukraine), providing implementation of the basin principle of water resources management became effective. The cross-border cooperation is necessary for prevention of negative impact of unilateral measures and coordination of adaptation efforts. Implementation of the Convention on the protection and use of cross-border water currents and the international lakes accepted on March 17, 1992 in Helsinki which the Republic of Belarus joined according to the Presidential decree of the Republic of Belarus of April 21, 2003 No. 161 "About accession of the Republic of Belarus to the Convention on protection and use of water currents of the international lakes" provides strong basis for cross-border cooperation, including in the context of adaptation to climate change.

Plan development of management of the rivers the Western Dvina, Neman, Pripyat for the purpose of identification of potential sources of pollution, accomplishment of actions for decrease in impact is planned for water resources and improvements of the ecological status of these water objects, and also the strategy of water resources management in the conditions of climate change.

Inventory count of the rivers, lakes, ponds and water storage basins, springs and streams of basins of the Neman Rivers, the Western Bug, the Western Dvina, Dnieper and Pripyat which will allow to have updated data on coordinates of pools will be carried out.

In the short term the state network of hydrometeorological observations will be the main source of receipt of hydrometeorological information.

Target long-term reference points on which the policy in the field of protection of atmospheric air and climatic policy till 2020 is based are determined in the Directive of the President of the Republic of Belarus of June 14, 2007 No. 3 "About the priority directions of strengthening of economic safety of the state", national and sectoral programs of upgrade and development for the period till 2020, strategy for decrease in harmful effects of transport on atmospheric air of the Republic of Belarus for the period till 2020 approved by the Deputy prime minister of the Republic of Belarus on November 5, 2013.

In the National strategy of sustainable social and economic development of the Republic of Belarus for the period till 2030 creation of low-carbon economy is provided. For the purpose of prevention of dangerous climate change the Republic of Belarus assumes obligation to provide by 2030 emission reduction of greenhouse gases for 28 percent at least from the level of 1990 without emissions and drains of greenhouse gases in the sector "Land use, change of land use and forestry" and without any additional terms.

In 2016-2019 legal and institutional framework in the field of adaptation to climate change will be created and development programs of main types of economic activity for 2021-2030 including measures for regulation and stimulation of emission reduction of greenhouse gases, mechanisms of collection and information transfer, quick response to emergency situations, accounting of the current and future risks connected with climate change are developed. Actions for adaptation will be included in industry programs and programs of social and economic development of the Republic of Belarus and its administrative and territorial units.

In 2017-2030 programs of measures for adaptation actions and practicians in case of recreational and improving activities, territorial development, planning of transport infrastructure will be developed.

The national strategy of sustainable social and economic development of the Republic of Belarus for the period till 2030 in the field of preserving water capacity of the country by increase in efficiency of use and improvement of quality of water resources in interrelation with requirements of society and possible climate change establishes decrease by 2020 for 40 percent to the level of 2015 of dumping of not enough purified sewage into superficial water objects.

Chapter 8. General characteristic and directions of implementation of the subprogramme 3 "Address with resistant organic pollutants"

Acceptance on May 22, 2001 in Stockholm by number of the countries of the special international agreement directed to the problem resolution SOZ – to the Stockholm convention on resistant organic pollutants (further – the Stockholm convention) which became the first global agreement directed to protection of health of the person and the environment against impact of SOZ which are dangerous chemicals became result of understanding by the international community of scales of health hazard of the person and the environment of SOZ.

Now the list of SOZ constituting health hazard of the person and natural ecological systems includes 24 names. The specified list is open and extends in process of accumulating of the chemicals this about properties. So, in 2015 at the VII Conference of the Parties of the Stockholm convention the question of inclusion in the appendices A and C to this Convention of the chlorinated naftalin, perchlorobutadiene, pentachlorophenol, its salts and ethers is considered.

The Republic of Belarus joined the Stockholm convention in February, 2004 according to the Presidential decree of the Republic of Belarus of December 26, 2003 No. 594 "About accession of the Republic of Belarus to the Stockholm convention on resistant organic pollutants", having assumed obligations according to the problem resolution SOZ.

For January 1, 2015 about 10 623 t of unsuitable pesticides, from them are stored in the Republic of Belarus:

in the territory of agricultural organizations and district agroservices – about 2826 t (27 percent from total quantity on the republic);

on CLUMPS "Complex on conversion and burial of toxic industrial wastes of the Gomel region" – 3171 t (30 percent from total quantity);

in underground burials – 4626 t (43 percent from total quantity).

Control checks and monitoring observations of condition of storage facilities and storage conditions of unsuitable pesticides revealed number of problems among which there is unsatisfactory condition of storage facilities, formation of new mixes of unsuitable pesticides, abuse of regulations of their accounting. Storage of repacked pesticides often leads to deformation of barrels in this connection there is permanent risk of emergence of emergency situations in storage locations.

According to the Stockholm convention Belarus shall complete operation of all equipment containing PHB till 2025, and till 2028 the territory of our country shall be completely cleared of them.

For the beginning of 2014 in the republic there was 54,6 of one thousand units of the condensers containing PHB in the total amount of 647,6 of t, and 5,4 of one thousand units of small-size HP condensers.

From the condensers which are available PHB-soderzhashchikh it is taken out of service of 16,3 of one thousand units with t PHB 263,3 amount.

349 transformers containing PHB in the total amount of 762,2 of t are revealed.

About 40 percent of the revealed transformers with PHB are concentrated in the organizations of Belneftekhim concern. About 25 percent of total quantity of the revealed transformers fall to the share of the organizations of the Ministry of Industry. The total share of transformers with PHB in the organizations of the Ministry of Industry, Minzhilkomkhoz and concerns "Belneftekhim", "Bellegprom" constitutes procedure for 83,6 of percent from their total quantity in Belarus.

Development of the industry plans of implementation of actions directed to conclusion from operation dismantle and ecologically safe storage of the equipment containing PHB, the organizations which are under supervision (being part) of the Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Energy, the Ministry of Communications, Ministry of Agriculture and Food Production, Belneftekhim concern, regional executive committees and the Minsk Gorispolkom, other organizations being his owners (owners) is provided.

Chapter 9. General characteristic and directions of implementation of the subprogramme 4 "Preserving and steady use of biological and landscape diversity"

According to Item 16 of the Concept of homeland security of the Republic of Belarus one of the main national interests in the ecological sphere is preserving biological and landscape diversity and ecological equilibrium of natural systems.

Natural complexes and ecological systems of the Republic of Belarus occupy 11 417,1 thousand hectares, or 55 percent of the territory of the country (20 759,8 thousand hectares), and are provided by the woods – 8 630,7 thousand hectares (percent 41,5), bushes – 664,4 of one thousand hectares (percent 3,2), meadows – 794 thousand hectares (percent 3,8), swamps – 859 thousand hectares (percent 4,1) and water objects – 469 thousand hectares (percent 2,2).

The major role in preserving biological and landscape diversity is played by OOPT. These territories provide preserving natural balance, biological diversity, including genetic fund, and serve as the centers of reproduction of objects of plant and animal life in combination with the limited and approved use of other natural resources, promote preserving in natural state of the rare and typical landscapes, inundated meadows, the old-age woods, marsh arrays and water objects playing important role in forming of microclimate and improvement of ecological situation. In borders of OOPT about 80 percent of rare species and wild-growing plants which are under the threat of disappearance grow and about 90 percent of rare species and types of the wild animals included in the Red List of the Republic of Belarus which are under the threat of disappearance live. The area of OOPT in the Republic of Belarus for the beginning of 2015 constituted percent 8,2 from total area of the country.

For July 1, 2015 the OOPT system of the Republic of Belarus included 1253 objects, including one reserve, 4 national parks, 95 wildlife areas of republican value (35 landscape, 38 biological, 17 hydrological, 5 wetland), 267 wildlife areas of local value, 319 nature sanctuaries republican and 567 – local value. Total area of OOPT of the Republic of Belarus constitutes 1801,46 of one thousand hectares, including the area of OOPT of republican value – 1412,06 of one thousand hectares, or percent 6,8 from the area of the country. On the reserve and national parks 475,4 of one thousand hectares, or 27,6 of percent of all OOPT, is the share of wildlife areas – 1310,66 of one thousand hectares, or percent 72,8, of nature sanctuaries – 15,3 of one thousand hectares, or percent 0,9.

The current state and tendencies of change of biological diversity in the Republic of Belarus are determined first of all by dynamics of change of the areas, condition and nature of use of the main natural ecological systems. Growth of amount of forests of the territory of the country continues. From 2006 to 2014 the share of the woods increased from 38 percent to percent 39,3 from the area of the country. However in connection with natural processes (wood diseases, drying) and cutting down of the old-age woods general decrease in number of the wild animals and wild-growing plants living and growing in the old-age broad-leaved woods is observed.

On OOPT tourist and recreational activities dynamically develop. Annually national parks accept about 130 thousand tourists and vacationers.

Activities for development of ecological tourism are performed in the territories of more than 25 republican wildlife areas among which special popularity enjoy Vygonoshchanskoye, Sporovsky, "Pribuzhsky Polesia", "Central Pripyat", "Red Bohr", Sinsh, Naliboksky and others.

Developed 16 management plans of OOPT, including 1 – for the Berezinsky biospheric reserve, 4 – for national parks, 11 – for wildlife areas of republican value "Central Pripyat", "Yelnya", "Osveysky", "Prostyr", "Zvanets", "Sporovsky", "Lebyazhy", "Volmyansky", "Vygonoshchanskoye", "Red Bohr", "Pribuzhsky Polesia".

Steady management of OOPT, first of all the international value, requires implementation of actions of management plans, such as regulation of distribution of invasive alien types of wild-growing plants, fight against overgrowing of open meadows and low-lying swamps by wood and shrubby vegetation which loss leads to disappearance of the related wetland types of wild-growing plants and wild animals, creation of conditions for reproduction of separate types of wild animals and wild-growing plants.

Because of drainage of swamps for the last 40 years their area was significantly reduced and constitutes 859 thousand hectares. With respect thereto, and also because of the continuing degradation of the remained swamps and inundated meadows (overgrowing of open swamps bushes and reeds) large number of the types of wild-growing plants and wild animals living on swamps are included in the Red List of the Republic of Belarus. Also the number of the bird species which are under the threat of global disappearance which are indicators of condition of ecological systems of open swamps and inundated meadows continues to decrease.

Now most the problem of preserving bison European is particularly acute. This type is included in the Red list of International union of conservation, Appendix III to the Convention on protection of wild fauna and flora and natural means of dwelling in Europe signed in Bern on September 19, 1979 which the Republic of Belarus joined according to the Presidential decree of the Republic of Belarus of February 7, 2013 No. 70 "About accession of the Republic of Belarus to the Convention on protection of wild fauna and flora and environments of dwelling in Europe", Red Lists of Russia, Poland, Ukraine, Lithuania. Since 1946 the bison European is in the Republic of Belarus under protection.

The bison European is salvaged from disappearance. At the same time this type is not salvaged from extinction threat as the population bearing genetic material of animals in rather complete amount – founders of type is not created by any really large (500 and more effective individuals) that would provide possibility of survival of type in historical perspective. During creation of animal populations, small on number, there was closely related crossing (inbreeding). For this reason the genetic potential of modern bisons is grown strongly poor, the raised susceptibility of animals to different diseases, signs of degeneration of bisons of the belovezhsky line is noted.

Considerable reducing genetic variety of bisons of the Belarusian line and, as a result, decrease in their adaptation potential cause reasonable concerns concerning possibility of survival in the republic of separate micropopulations of bison and bisons of belovezhsky population in general.

Preserving bison European as the rare and being under the threat of extinction of species wild animals is the international obligation of the Republic of Belarus (The convention on biological diversity signed on June 5, 1992 in Rio De Janeiro, ratified by the Resolution of the Supreme Council of the Republic of Belarus of June 10, 1993 No. 2358-XII "About ratification of the Convention on biological diversity", the Convention on protection of wild fauna and flora and environments of dwelling in Europe), and also it is provided by the strategy for preserving and steady use of biological diversity approved by the resolution of Council of Ministers of the Republic of Belarus of November 19, 2010 No. 1707, the National strategy of sustainable social and economic development of the Republic of Belarus for the period till 2030.

According to the draft of the Program of social and economic development of the Republic of Belarus for 2016-2020 in the field of preserving biological and landscape diversity the following target reference points are established:

the area of OOPT – percent 8,8 from the territory of the country;

the area of the recovered natural complexes and ecological systems (the drained swamps, the waterlogged territories, the growing open meadows, the territories subject to erosion) – 75 thousand hectares.

By 2020 the announcement, transformation 63 OOPT is planned. As one of socially important effects of implementation of the subprogramme 4 increase in inflow of organized tourists at OOPT at 25 and more percent is supposed. For the purpose of ensuring preserving bison European creation of new micropopulation and carrying out number of biotechnical and scientific actions is required.

Tasks of implementation of the subprogramme 4 following:

development of the OOPT system, ensuring functioning, protection of OOPT and management of them by implementation of the National strategy of development for system of especially protected natural territories till January 1, 2030, and also the scheme of rational placement of especially protected natural territories of republican value till January 1, 2025 approved by the resolution of Council of Ministers of the Republic of Belarus of July 2, 2014 No. 649, and regional schemes of rational placement of especially protected natural territories of local value, development and accomplishment of management plans of OOPT, advanced training of employees of the public nature protection institutions exercising control of OOPT, accomplishment of actions for recovery of the broken ecological systems, to creation of artificial nesting grounds for rare species of birds, forming of additional objects of tourist infrastructure on OOPT, holding festivals, conferences and other similar actions, the edition of books booklets for the purpose of increase in knowledge of the population concerning functioning of OOPT, conducting monitoring of condition of the OOPT ecological systems and realization of other actions;

Chapter 10. General characteristic and directions of implementation of the subprogramme 5 "Ensuring functioning, development and enhancement of national monitoring system of the environment in the Republic of Belarus"

Need of development of system of observations of state of environment, assessment and the forecast of change of its condition under the influence of natural and anthropogenous factors is caused by preserving considerable number of urgent environmental problems among which there is growth of content of pollutants in soils and underground waters in areas of placement of objects of waste, the high level of pollution of atmospheric air and chemical pollution of soils in the cities, problem of quality of the underground waters used for centralized drinking water supply of the population, adverse situation in parts of the fortune of water objects, strengthening of process of invasion of alien species, preserving owing to catastrophic crash on the Chernobyl NPP of pollution by radionuclides of considerable part of the territory of the country and others.

The organizational structure of the National monitoring system of the environment is created (further – HCMOC), the principles of the organization of networks and regulations of observations, structure of ecological information, procedure for its obtaining and provision to consumers of different level are normative established.

Are created and steadily 12 types of monitoring within which carry out assessment of state of environment and the main natural complexes function. The mechanism of collection, transfer, processing, the analysis, storage and exchange of monitoring information is developed and is effective.

In 2011-2014 the territories in which 87,6 of percent of the population of the average and large cities lives are covered by regular observations of condition of atmospheric air (including in real time with use of 14 automatic stations). On the basis of complex of lidarny and space methods assessment of condition of ozone layer and cross-border transfer of atmospheric impurity on the republic territory is performed. Practice includes observations of content in ground layer of the atmosphere of such pollutants hazardous to health of the person as prizemny ozone, solid particles, fraction the size to 2,5 and 10 microns.

Within monitoring of surface water observations of hydrological, hydrochemical and hydrobiological indicators of condition of surface water in 297 Items of the observations placed on 86 rivers and 74 lakes and water storage basins that allowed to estimate condition of surface water of the republic taking into account the international recommendations are regularly made. Assessment of dynamics of cross-border transfer of pollution by data analysis of the observations performed in 31 cross-border Items of observations is provided.

The monitoring system of underground waters oriented to development of regular observations in locations of the main sources of pollution of underground waters for the subsequent development of nature protection actions for minimization and the termination of harmful effects of these sources functions.

Monitoring of land fund (observation of structure, structure and condition of land resources), agrosoil monitoring (observation of condition of soil cover of lands) and monitoring of technogenic pollution of soils (observation of chemical pollution of lands) is organized and is carried out.

Steadily the flora monitoring system including monitoring of meadow and meadow and marsh vegetation, water vegetation, protected species of the plants and mushrooms included in the Red List of the Republic of Belarus, or protected according to the international obligations of the Republic of Belarus of resursoobrazuyushchy types of berry plants and mushrooms functions. Since 2011 forming of network of monitoring of invasive types of plants is begun. On the basis of the analysis of the occupied spaces, nature of distribution, the number of locations and number the most dangerous invasive types are allocated (first of all Sosnovsky's cow-parsnip).

Monitoring of fauna within which observations of the wild animals belonging to subjects to hunting and fishery, the wild animals belonging to the types included in the Red List of the Republic of Belarus, and also observation of invasive alien wild animals are made is performed.

More than 39 percent of the territory of Belarus are covered with the woods. For assessment of condition of tree species of the woods, forest ecological systems and their components monitoring of the woods is carried out that allows to make necessary management decisions timely.

Radiation environmental pollution as a result of catastrophic crash on the Chernobyl NPP remains significant environmental problem in Belarus. Besides, potential danger of radiation pollution is born by the nuclear power plants which are also operating in neighboring countries. Daily measurements of capacity of dose of gamma radiation in 55 Items of the observations located in all territory of the republic are taken. In zones of influence of the working nuclear power plants in tests of aerosols estimate "fresh" products of radioactive decay. The existing system of radiation monitoring allows to estimate quickly levels of content of radionuclides in environment components – surface and underground water, atmospheric air, soils.

Geophysical monitoring is performed for the purpose of assessment of seismicity, dynamics of geophysical and geodynamic processes in three directions – seismic monitoring, geomagnetic monitoring and monitoring of gravitational field of Earth.

For assessment of level and dynamics of technogenic load of the environment from the largest potential pollutants local monitoring is carried out. Now the list of the legal entities performing carrying out local monitoring of the environment as a part of HCMOC includes 394 users of nature.

Monitoring of condition of ozone layer, complex monitoring of natural ecological systems on OOPT is performed.

For the purposes of information maintenance are created and 11 information and analysis centers of types of monitoring, and also the HCMOC main information and analysis center are effective.

Chapter 10-1. General characteristic and the directions of implementation of the Subprogramme 6 "Ensuring functioning of management system with environmental protection in the Republic of Belarus and implementation of actions on rational (steady) use of natural resources and environmental protection at the regional level"

Within the environmental policy pursued by the state realization of the system-wide measures including enhancement of regulatory legal acts, maintaining the state inventories and registers of natural resources, collection and systematization of statistical data in the field of environmental protection, accomplishment of actions regarding international cooperation, ecological education and education and another is provided.

These measures allow not only to constrain negative impact of economic and other activity on the environment, but also to provide improvement of ecological country situation, promote increase in efficiency of use of natural resources for the benefit of the economic growth and improvement of living conditions of the population.

The legislation in the field of environmental protection and rational (steady) use of natural resources is constantly enhanced. Work on its updating and systematization, adjustment providing simplification when implementing ministerial procedures, non-admission of additional administrative load of subjects of managing and also on implementation is carried out to the legislation in the field of environmental protection of rules of international law, the international legal acts constituting the right of the Eurasian Economic Union.

In recent years will make progress regarding normative legal support of participation of the public in decision making process on environmental issues.

At the same time now it is required to enhance regulation of use of natural resources, more actively to implement the resource-saving principles and approaches. New forms of legislative support of ecologically oriented organizations are necessary.

For the purpose of state regulation of nature protection activities, and also the routine and advance planning of actions for decrease in harmful effects of economic and other activity on the environment it is created and the system of the state accounting in the field of environmental protection is enhanced. For accounting of quantity, quality and other characteristics of natural resources, and also amount, nature and the mode of their use the legislation of the Republic of Belarus provides maintaining the state inventories of natural resources – water, forest, climatic, subsoil, atmospheric air, flora, fauna, waste, renewable energy resources, anthropogenic emissions from sources and absorption by absorbers of greenhouse gases.

The state inventories of natural resources require permanent updating as they are intended for providing users of nature with operational data on natural resources taking into account their economic evaluation, informing state bodies and executive bodies for the purpose of adoption of decisions by them on effective use of these resources, forecasting of their changes under the influence of activities of the person and implementation of necessary measures of protection.

The major tool in environmental management system and environmental protection is informing the population.

In system of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection annually there are about two thousand printed materials in republican periodicals, reportings on national TV channels are placed, the press conferences concerning the main activities of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection are held. Over 15 republican shares of nature protection orientation, including "Day without car", "The net wood", "Youth for purity of the cities and villages" are implemented. Monthly release of the Native Nature magazine with appendix in the Belarusian and Russian languages "Are Young the Naturalist" is performed.

Meetings of public ecological council under the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection are annually held, public and advisory (expert) council on development of entrepreneurship under the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection where solutions of problematic issues in the field of environmental protection are considered.

Special significance is attached to the international activities. The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection is responsible for implementation of 25 nature protection conventions (protocols to them), participation in 4 international organizations – the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the United Nations Environment Programme (YuNEP), Committee on environmental policy of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, the Global Environment Facility (GEF).

Potential of cooperation is used for attraction of advanced technologies, promotion of the Belarusian experts on the international scene, holding in Belarus the international seminars, conferences.

Representatives of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection are included in structure of bodies of the Convention on information access, participation of the public in decision making process and access to justice on the questions concerning the environment accepted at the Fourth conference of ministers "The environment for Europe" in Aarhus (Denmark) on June 25, 1998 (further – the Aarhus convention), Conventions on the environmental impact assessment in cross-border context signed in Espoo on February 25, 1991, Conventions on biological diversity, are heads of number of working groups within conventions (the international organizations).

Representatives of Belarus are included in structure of committees on implementation of the Convention on protection and use of cross-border water currents and the international lakes, the Aarhus convention and Convention on environmental impact assessment in cross-border context. The representative of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection is member of Bureau of Committee on environmental policy of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe.

The carried-out efficiency analysis of participation in implementation of conventions and activities of the international organizations shows that the amount of the involved technical assistance significantly exceeds amount of the means spent for contribution payment.

Nature protection activities are carried out in all directions, including prevention of pollution of the environment and depletion of natural and resource potential, reduction of risk of emergence of technogenic accidents and minimization of damage from the spontaneous natural phenomena. Taking into account regional specifics of environmental problems in each area such activities have the features. Improvement of condition of the environment in the republic depends on the successful solution of local ecological tasks.

With respect thereto the special role in ensuring rational (steady) use of natural resources and environmental protections is allocated for local executive and administrative organs.

Task of implementation of the subprogramme 6 – creation of conditions for ensuring functioning of management system with environmental protection in the Republic of Belarus, and also rational (steady) use of natural resources and environmental protection at the regional level.

Results of accomplishment of the subprogramme 6 will become:

fulfillment of requirements of complex environmental management, ensuring reliability of quantitative and high-quality accounting of natural resources, assessment of actual state of natural and resource potential;

17 078 923, 2 rubles – means of the republican budget;

63 983 884, the 59th ruble – means of local budgets.

Chapter 11. The main risks in case of implementation of the state program and measure for their minimization

Treat the main risks which can arise in case of implementation of the State program:

the legal risks connected with change of the legislation lasting forming of the regulatory legal base necessary for effective implementation of the State program that can lead to increase in the planned terms or change of sales terms of actions of the State program;

the financial risks connected with emergence of budget deficit and insufficient thereof the level of budget financing, sequestration of budgeted expenses on spheres of conservation, and also decrease in stability of own and attracted organization activity financing sources that can entail insufficient funding, reducing or the termination of program actions;

the macroeconomic risks connected with possibility of deterioration in internal and external environment, decrease in growth rates of national economy and level of investment activity, high inflation and also with crisis of bank system and emergence of budget deficit that can cause decrease in investment appeal in spheres of implementation of the State program;

the administrative risks connected with poor control of implementation of the State program, low performance of interaction of concerned parties that can entail violation of the planned terms of implementation of the State program, failure to carry out of its purpose and tasks, decrease in efficiency of accomplishment of actions;

the environmental risks connected with natural and technogenic catastrophes.

For minimization of impact of legal risks it is planned:

at development stage of draft documents to involve in their discussion interested which shall take part afterwards in their approval;

consider the planned changes in the legislation in the field of environmental protection and adjacent spheres.

Act as methods of restriction of financial risks:

annual refining of amounts of the financial resources provided on implementation of actions of the State program depending on the achieved results;

determination of priorities for financing;

planning of budgeted expenses using techniques of efficiency evaluation of budgeted expenses;

attraction of off-budget financing, including identification and implementation of the best experience of attraction of extrabudgetary resources to spheres of conservation, rational environmental management and adjacent spheres.

The main conditions of minimization of administrative risks are:

forming of effective management system implementation of the State program;

carrying out systematic audit of effectiveness of implementation of the State program;

increase in efficiency of interaction of participants of implementation of the State program;

timely adjustment of actions of the State program.

For minimization of impact of the environmental risks connected with natural and technogenic catastrophes implementation of constant control behind natural and weather conditions in the country, condition of productions, accomplishment of preventive actions in order to avoid natural and technogenic catastrophes is planned.

Chapter 12. Efficiency evaluation of implementation of the state program

The efficiency evaluation of implementation of the State program is performed in two stages.

At the first stage efficiency of implementation of subprogrammes is estimated.

For assessment of extent of accomplishment of tasks of the subprogramme extent of achievement of planned values of each target indicator of the subprogramme is determined.

Extent of achievement of planned value of target indicator of the subprogramme is calculated by the following formulas:

for target indicators which desirable tendency of development is increase in values:

for target indicators which desirable tendency of development is decrease in values:

where _SDP/ppz-extent of achievement of planned value of target indicator;

_ZPP/pf-the value of target indicator of the subprogramme which is actually reached by the end of the reporting period;

_ZPP/pp-planned value of target indicator of the subprogramme.

Extent of accomplishment of tasks of the subprogramme is calculated by formula

where _{PRODUCTION SHARING AGREEMENT / п–} extent of accomplishment of tasks of the subprogramme;

_SDP/ppz-extent of achievement of planned value of target indicator of the subprogramme;

N– quantity of target indicators of the subprogramme.

If _{PRODUCTION SHARING AGREEMENT value / п} more 1, that when calculating extent of accomplishment of tasks of the subprogramme it is accepted equal 1.

Efficiency of implementation of the subprogramme is calculated by formula

where _{ERP / п–} efficiency of implementation of the subprogramme;

_{PRODUCTION SHARING AGREEMENT / п–} extent of accomplishment of tasks of the subprogramme;

_Ffp-amount of actually mastered funds for implementation of the subprogramme in the accounting period;

_Fpp-amount of the planned funds for implementation of the subprogramme in the accounting period.

Efficiency of implementation of the subprogramme is recognized high if _{ERP value / п} makes at least 0,9.

Efficiency of implementation of the subprogramme is recognized to average if _{ERP value / п} makes at least 0,8.

Efficiency of implementation of the subprogramme is recognized satisfactory if _{ERP value / п} makes at least 0,7.

Efficiency of implementation of the subprogramme is recognized unsatisfactory other cases.

At the second stage efficiency of implementation of the State program which is determined taking into account extent of goal achievement of the State program and efficiency of implementation of subprogrammes is estimated.

For assessment of extent of goal achievement of the State program extent of achievement of planned values of each summary target indicator of the State program is determined.

Extent of achievement of planned value of summary target indicator of the State program is calculated by formula

where _Sdgppz-extent of achievement of planned value of summary target indicator of the State program;

_Zpgpf-the value of summary target indicator of the State program which is actually reached by the end of the reporting period;

_Zpgpp-planned value of summary target indicator of the State program.

Extent of goal achievement of the State program is calculated by formula:

where _Srgp-extent of goal achievement of the State program;

_Sdgppz-extent of achievement of planned value of summary target indicator of the State program;

M – quantity of summary target indicators of the State program.

If value _Srgp more 1, that when calculating extent of goal achievement of the State program it is accepted equal 1.

Efficiency of implementation of the State program is estimated on formula

where _Ergp-efficiency of implementation of the State program;

_Srgp-extent of goal achievement of the State program;

_Ff-amount of actually mastered means for implementation of the State program in the accounting period;

_Fp-amount of the planned means for implementation of the State program in the accounting period;

j– number of subprogrammes.

Efficiency of implementation of the State program is recognized high if value _Ergp constitutes at least 0,9.

Efficiency of implementation of the State program is recognized to average if value _Ergp constitutes at least 0,8.

Efficiency of implementation of the State program is recognized satisfactory if value _Ergp constitutes at least 0,7.

Efficiency of implementation of the State program is recognized unsatisfactory other cases.

The state program (subprogramme) can be acknowledged highly effective under condition if planned values of the summary target and target indicators established on regions are executed by all regions.

When evaluating efficiency the accruing result performs the analysis of accomplishment of summary target and target indicators for row of years during which the program was implemented.

At the same time the following features are considered.

For assessment of extent of achievement of the indicators which are characterizing result of the taken measures within separate year and having:

absolute values, – are summed up the actual values by every year of the analyzed period and compared with the amount of planned values for the same period (the indicators containing in Items 1, 8–14, 18, of 19, of 24, of 25, of 29, 38–52, 54, 58–126 appendices 1 to the State program);

relative values, – the arithmetic average of the actual values of the analyzed period is compared every year with arithmetic average of planned values (the indicators containing in Items 2, of 23, of 30, of 53, of the 56th appendix 1 to the State program).

For assessment of extent of achievement of the indicators reflecting result of the taken measures for all analyzed period the actual and planned measure values for the last year of the analyzed period (the indicators containing in Items 3-7, 15-17, 20-22, 26-28, 31-37, 55, of the 57th appendix 1 to the State program) are compared.

For indicators which were cancelled or established not since the beginning of program implementation assessment of extent of achievement is performed for the period on which they were established.

In case of assessment of degree of compliance of the actual amount of financing of the program (subprogramme) planned by the accruing result total values of the actual and planned amounts of financing of the program (subprogramme) of the analyzed period respectively are compared every year.

In case of efficiency evaluation of implementation of the State program extent of accomplishment of actions for capital investments on which customer is not the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection is not considered.
