Project Objective:
Ensure minimization of PCB releases and
subsequent health and environmental
impacts through systematic capacity
development for sound PCB management
in the country
Facts and figures
• Production of PCB capacitors until 1989
• 4 PCB hotspots

Ust-Kamenogorsk capacitor plant
Ekibastuz power sub-station
Dariyal-U former military base
• 116 pure PCB transformers (~ 950 tons)
• 56 000 PCB capacitors (~ 2,500 tons)
• 225,000 tons of highly PCB contaminated soil

Project Outcomes
Outcome 1 - Regulatory and administrative
strengthening for sound PCB management
Outcome 2 - Capacity building for sound PCB
management, identification of additional PCB
sources
Outcome 3 - Disconnecting, dismantling and
disposal of 850 tons of PCB transformers (in
partnership with ArcelorMittal Temirtau)
Outcome 4: Regionally organized secure storages
and disposal of PCB capacitors
Regulatory and administrative
strengthening for sound PCB management
• Output 1.1: Environmental Code and other PCB related legislation
reviewed, changes developed. Environmental Code revised to
include a chapter on PCB management and disposal.
• Output 1.2: Responsibilities vis-a-vis International Chemicals´
Conventions in the government re-aligned
• Output 1.3: Detailed PCB rules, guidelines, incentive schemes
developed
• Output 1.4: Capacity for implementing and knowledge of PCB
regulations and guidance among public sector actors, including
training of customs department in PCB identification, enhanced.
• Output 1.5: Awareness raising campaigns on PCB risks and
regulatory requirements among authorities and wider public
conducted.

- KPIs/deliverables
D. Budget Program 20112015
- National level (Government)
- Regional level (local authorities)
- Local level (PCB holders)
E. Monitoring and
Evaluation Plan 20112015
Other key elements of PCB Management
Plan
• Stakeholder Engagement Strategy
• Communication Strategy
• PCB Information Management Systems:
– Web site
– Databases
– GIS-based Information Management System.
2010 – 2011: design and development phase
• 2010 – design (regulation)
• 2011 – planning (management system)
•
+ inventory (initial phase)
Capacity building for sound PCB
management, identification of
additional PCB sources
• Output 2.1: Improved capacities of PCB holders for sound PCB
management
• Output 2.2: PCB holder-wise management and replacement plans
• Output 2.3: PCB inventory expanded and updated
• Output 2.4: Enhanced PCB analysis preparedness at State
Hydro-meteorological services and Ministry of Health
laboratories
• Output 2.5: Risk based priority setting tools for PCBs
management initiatives developed..
Key indicators
 National Inventory Plan 2011-2015
 Setting clear targets for closed and open systems
 Setting deadlines for large companies, small and medium size
companies, municipalities
 PCB Management Plans for 20 companies - first 3 years
 Accreditation of reference POPs laboratory
 Training and awareness raising plan 2011-2015 (PCB MP)
Replacement, setting-up safe dismantling
of 850 tons of PCB transformers and
their safe disposal
• Output 3.1: Phase-out and procurement of
replacement transformers planned and scheduled
• Output 3.2: Transformers disconnected, drained,
dismantled and cleaned, metals recycled
• Output 3.3: Disposal of oils and associated waste
Regionally organized secure storages
and disposal of PCB capacitors
• Output 4.1: Secure, temporary PCB storage facilities
identified, constructed/upgraded
• Output 4.2: Safe operation of storage sites secured
• Output 4.3: PCB collection and disposal put in place and
implemented
• Output 4.4: 15,000 PCB capacitors at Darial-U
capacitor site disconnected, packed and stored.
• Output 4.5: Clean-up premises and pack all potentially
PCB contaminated wastes.
