39. On 16 September 2016 ADB fielded a mission comprising Mr. Tran T. Thanh Phuong,

Safeguards Specialist, Central and West Asia Department, ADB (Manila); and environment

13

safeguards consultant, Kyrgyz Republic Resident Mission, ADB. The mission visited substation

Kara-Balta in Chui oblast.

40. The following observations and notes were made by Safeguards Specialist, Central and West Asia Department (ADB) Mr. Tran T. Thanh Phuong:

• The works have started for replacement of oil-filled circuit breakers at the substation

after testing transformer oil for PCBs, and it was established that PCBs content is lower

than 50 ppm;

• Specialists of the substation were instructed on safety requirements when working with

SF6 equipment. There is an Instruction for Using SF6 Equipment at the substation. The

Instruction was shown to the mission;

• Site for temporary storage of circuit breakers released from transformer oil: site is

equipped with curbs, it is covered with gravel, and this eliminates the risk of infiltration of

oil and soil/water pollution;

• Prepared area for temporary storage of oil emptied from the unit: Playground equipped

with curbs, covered with gravel, which reduces the risks of oil spills into environment and

soil/water pollution.

41. The Safeguards Specialist, Central and West Asia Department, ADB, recommended

following measures for environment protection during implementation of the project:

- Should PCB contaminated equipment and oil be identified, it will be necessary to

prepare special sites. Requirements for such sites are stipulated in EMP;

- Prepare an interim report on tested equipment by 26 September 2016.

42. While visiting the work sites of stringing fiber optic cable, environment safeguards consultant was conducting briefings regarding compliance with safety requirements.

3.2.1. Implementation of environmental safeguards requirements and management of oil-filled equipment and PCBs

43. In July 2016 NEGK handed over 2 (two) express analyzers for testing transformer oil for

PCBs to NEGK. On 26 July 2016 the national environment safeguards consultant recruited by

the Ministry of Energy, supported by "Ilim" – express analyzer supplying company –conducted a

hands-on training for NEGK personnel to work with express analyzers.

44. In total 15 participants attended the training. Participants of the training were the specialists

of high-voltage electrical networks from Osh, Naryn, Jalal-Abad, Chui, Issyk-Kul and Talas

oblasts, which are part of NEGK. (See list of participants in Appendix 1).

Photo 6. Hands-on training on new equipment during the visit to Chui enterprise of high-voltage networks

45. Prior to commencement of civil works, the schedule of transformer oil testing for PCBs was

developed, which included particular schedule of transformer oil testing for PCBs of oil filled

circuit breakers to be replaced under the ADB-funded Power Sector Improvement Project. In

September 2016 the schedule was revised and adjusted.

46. The national environment safeguards consultant and NEGK specialist started oil testing

from August 1, 2016 until 16 November 2016. Oil sampling was conducted in line with

decommissioning of equipment.

47. After November 15, 2016, the works were suspended due to the winter season, when

disconnection of electrical equipment is not allowed. As was noted above (paragraph 1.3),

replacement of oil-filled equipment under the ADB-funded Power Sector Improvement Project

will be conducted at 54 substations out of 107 ones. At the remaining 44 substations oil-free

equipment —air and vacuum circuit breakers and outdoor switchyards—are to be replaced.

48. For oil testing, the Commission was established, composed of NEGK specialists, by NEGK

Order No. 229 dated 01.08.2016. Taking into account that express analyzer prints out and

stores in its memory the test results, specialists of SAEPF were not included into the

commission.

Photos 7 and 8. Oil Sampling from circuit breakers at Jetigen sub-station and from current transformers

at sub-station Frunzenskaya – personnel are equipped with personal protective equipment (PPE), and all

health and labor safety requirements were followed.

49. In total, during the period from August to November 2016, 221 items of oil-filled equipment

were tested at 25 substations of Chui, Jalal-Abad, Naryn and Talas oblasts (regions).

Photo 9. Testing of oil for PCB at substation Frunzenskaya

50. The content of PCBs in all the collected samples was below 50 ppm, which indicates the

absence of PCBs contamination in replaced oil-filled equipment and oils. Thus, according to

received information, at replacement of the tested equipment, the EMP for electrical equipment

and oils not contaminated with PCBs will be implemented. The test results of oil-filled equipment

are in Table 3 below.

16

51. Results of tests for each piece of equipment were recorded in minutes signed by

participants who conducted the testing. The template of minutes with printed out file of express

analyzer is shown in Appendix 2. As noted above, information on tests results was submitted to

SAEPF and posted on NEGK website.

52. According to the schedule, in testing of transformer oil for PCB in oil-filled equipment to be

replaced in frame of ADB-funded Power Sector Improvement Project will be done at 29

substations in Osh and Issyk-Kul oblasts, and 2 substations in Jalal-Abad oblast.

3.2.2. Management of SF6 Equipment

53. In order to comply with safety requirements while replacing SF6 gas-insulated equipment at

NEGK substations, an Operation Manual for SF6 circuit breakers was used. The personnel

have been trained by the Supplier on management of SF6 gas-insulated circuit breakers. The

Operation Manual (Instruction) has safety guidelines for installing equipment containing SF6

gas.

3.2.3. Management of Waste Management of oils and equipment not contaminated with PCBs 54. Taking into consideration that the tested equipment and oil are not contaminated with PCBs, emptied oil circuit breakers and oil-filled transformers will be stored on the territory of EHVN specially equipped sites in each region until NEGK issues a decision on disposing them as scrap metal, or as a redundant equipment for future use. 55. As noted above, after replacement, the removed tested equipment, oils drained from circuit breakers, oil-filled current and voltage transformers were transported from sub-stations to EHVNs sites in accordance with environmental requirements. No spills or leakages were observed.

3.2.4. Management of non-toxic waste

Lot 1. Upgrading of substations

56. Non-toxic waste generated during construction included: construction waste, rags, unsuitable packaging, adsorbents, etc. 57. Construction waste were transported from substation to sites specified in the permits issued by local departments of environmental protection for waste disposal. (Appendix 7). Lot 2. Construction of communications and supervisory control and data acquisition system 58. No special camp for persons working at optic fiber pulling has been arranged, as these persons live in Bishkek. Municipal wastes are disposed in accordance with ChuEHVN’s permit for waste disposal. Waste in the form of wooden spools for fiber optic cable are stored in the special warehouse rented by AK-AY company (see photo below) .

3.3. Non-compliance Notices 59. There were no yet any non-compliance cases and no non-compliance notices were issued for reporting period.

3.3. Grievance Redress Mechanism 60. Requirements for grievance redress mechanism of ADB Accountability Mechanism Policy (2012) and ADB Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS, 2009) principally meet the requirements of the Law of the Kyrgyz Republic “On processing of complaints of citizens” (2007). The existing differences in timing of processing the complaints, specified as 30 days in the Law of the Kyrgyz Republic, and 14 days specified in ADB Accountability Mechanism Policy, were eliminated by the Order of the General Director of NEGK issued on May 22, 2014. The Order aims at NEGK’s

26

quick response to process the complaints. The contractor keeps Registration log book for citizens’ complaints and appeals at work sites. (Appendix 8). No complaints or requests were received from local people and working personnel, related to the project, during the reporting period of July-December 2016.

3.4. Information Support and awareness activities

61. In order to inform the public on the project implementation and measures to be taken to ensure environmental safety, NEGK continuously updates the information on project implementation progress, and during the reporting period the SSEMPs for two Lots were also posted at the web-site.

62. The results of transformer oil testing are posted at the NEGK website (www.negk.kg) and on NEGK Facebook page. 63. Information on conducted tests was submitted to SAEPF, and on SAEPF participation in

testing was submitted separately (Appendix 3).

3.5. Corrective Action Plan

64. EMP foreseen the furnishing the sites that protect the soil from contamination by oil with rain water during temporary storage of oil circuit breakers and current and voltage transformers at the sites. However, during the reporting period, these sites have not been relevantly furnished and NEGK is planning to start these works only in 2017. 65.

No.22-7/4-1189 04.11.16 Mr. A. A. Rustamov Director of the State Agency for Environmental Protection and Forestry under the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic

Dear Mr. A. A. Rustamov

Hereby OAO “National Electric Grid of Kyrgyzstan” informs you that in accordance with Environmental Management Plan provided for by the Initial Environmental Examination under the ADB-funded Power Sector Improvement Project, testing for PCBs is carried out of transformer oil of equipment to be replaced using express analyzer L2000DX.

As of 15 October 2016, 197 pieces of equipment (current and voltage transformers, oil

switches) to be replaced has been tested under the ADB-funded Project at 23 substations in Chui, Naryn, Talas, Jalal-Abad oblasts. The results of the testing show that there is no PCBs contamination in equipment to be replaced. The testing will continue till end November 2016, and in 2017, the sunny weather permitting.

If SAEPF is interested, it can take part in testing of transformer oil. Taking into account that all equipment is in operation, and collection of samples of oil is

performed only on equipment without power, OAO NEGK cannot provide precise schedule for collection of samples. Thus, SAEPF can send a letter to OAO NEGK should it be interested in this exercise, and relevant SAEPF specialists will be invited to participate in testing.

Results of the tests are posted on NEGK official website. Yours sincerely, First Deputy Director General A. V. Borodin /L. Kamalova Tel. 661152, OVSiRP
