Recently, the Committee for Environmental Regulation and Control summed up the results of the work of the territorial departments of ecology for the first half of 2021.
The Board was held through the ZOOM platform with the participation of the leadership of all territorial departments.
2020 was distinguished for the Committee and its territorial departments by the adoption of a new code, the approval of Road Maps and many other innovations, and the first half of this year allowed us to evaluate the effectiveness of their adoption.
So, in the 1st half of 2021, 570 environmental inspections were carried out in the republic, according to the results, 1338 orders were issued to eliminate violations, 52% of which have already been fulfilled.
At the same time, more than 1,128 administrative fines totaling 707.13 million tenge were imposed on enterprises that committed violations.
To date, together with JSC "NC "Kazakhstan Garysh Sapary", 5811 unauthorized landfills have been identified, of which 34% have been liquidated.
On behalf of the Head of State, raids are currently being carried out throughout the republic on recreation areas in order to eliminate and prevent the formation of natural landfills.
In addition, a number of other activities were carried out within the framework of the approved road maps and comprehensive plans for solving environmental problems of the regions.
So, in the Atyrau region, an oil refinery has started recultivation of the "Rotten Beam" evaporation fields. This year, a new complex of treatment facilities will be put into operation on the left bank of Atyrau. Work is also underway on the reconstruction of the old SPIT, which will be completed in 2023. In 2024, the cleaning of the Kvadrat evaporation pond will be completed.
A project on modernization and reconstruction of workshops has been launched at a ferroalloy plant in Aktobe region. By the end of 2022, emissions will be reduced by 30%.
A project for the modernization of CHPP-2 and 3 will be implemented in Almaty.
In the Karaganda region, JSC "ArcelorMittal Temirtau" undertakes to reduce air emissions by 30% by 2025. Also, 500 thousand trees will be planted around the city of Temirtau.
In the East Kazakhstan region, Kazzinc LLP is expected to reduce emissions into the atmosphere by 20%. The existing landfills of solid waste will also be brought into compliance.
In the Mangystau region, the elimination of the historical pollution of "Koshkar-ata"has begun. Completion is scheduled for 2023. In addition, the group of companies of JSC NC "KazMunayGas" plans to carry out work on the liquidation and disposal of 2.5 million tons of oil waste by 2024. 437 thousand tons have already been liquidated.
In addition, the Strategic Plan of the Ministry for 2021 provides for a target indicator for the normative volume of emissions and discharges of pollutants, followed by a reduction by year.
The analysis of the dynamics of regulatory emissions volumes shows that the volumes of emissions into the environment over the past three years have fluctuated, not exceeded and tend to decrease, which is largely due to the positive dynamics of the development of economic sectors, the increase in the capacity of existing and the commissioning of new enterprises.
More than 40 subordinate regulations have been developed as part of the implementation of the new code, which are currently at the stage of approval and registration.
Meetings were held with large enterprises of the oil sector and the mining and metallurgical complex, an agreement was reached to reduce emissions by 20% with the development of a reduction strategy.
The list of 17 companies whose emissions are subject to reduction has been determined, taking into account the amount of financing of activities within the framework of the implementation of "Zhasyl Kazakhstan".
In addition, 450 thousand trees were planted on the territory of more than 1 thousand hectares.
At the same time, there was also a share of criticism of the departments.
Thus, the results of the six-month work showed that some departments send the issue of opening inspections to the Committee without a detailed study, in addition, in the departments of ecology in the West Kazakhstan, Almaty, Turkestan regions and in Nur-Sultan, activity in social networks has been reduced, the indicators of work with the public and with the media have become significantly lower than the previous one, there is an untimely response and taking measures to localize situations in social networks.
Compliance with the principle of the "Listening State" should be ensured, which is why appeals, as well as environmental issues raised in the media space and timely action on them is a priority task of the Committee.
At the end of the meeting, the Chairman of the Committee, Zulfukhar Zholdasov, gave a number of instructions to the departments for the next reporting period to further improve their activities, according to the results of which the work of the departments will be evaluated accordingly.
