3. The enactment comes into effect from a dato.
The Prime Minister of Azerbaijan Republic
A. Rasi-zadeh
The permissible standards of environmental impact on aqueous objects, which have the significance for fish breeding
1. The permissible standards of environmental impact on aqueous objects, which have significance for fish breeding (hereinafter
referred to as ”Standards”) are prepared in terms of Water Code of Azerbaijan Republic “About the fishery” and have for an
object to prevent pollution of onland water currents and reservoirs referring to the aqueous objects by waste and sewage.
2. Aqueous objects are counted polluted if they become worthless for existence and development of fishes and another living
organisms in consequence of direct and indirect impact of any kind of wastes and sewage.
The water pollution criterion is the deterioration of water’s organoleptic characteristics and presence of injurious substances,
which entailed changing of water organisms’ normal vital activity.
3. The fitness of water is determined on the basis of present norms and requirements.
4. It is prohibited:
To dump any sewage into the water objects without permission of the Melioration Committee under the Cabinet of Ministers (on
the onland aqueous objects), Geology and Mineral Reserves State Committee (on the underground aqueous objects), which
exercise the official control on usage and preservation of environment and also without adjustment with the sanitaryepidemiological and fisheries services;
To dump any sewage containing contaminants with unstated permissible density limits (PDL) into the aqueous objects;
To allow dump from oil pipelines and oilfields into the aqueous objects;
To drop unpurified sewage and also dangerous dense and liquid wastes from floating objects and fixed plants;
To drop any sewage in the areas of mass spawn, nutrition and wintering of fish;
To drop any wastes or sewage into the aqueous objects possessing the status of National Reserves or which are entailed for
scientific-research work.
5. The technical specifications of sewage drops into the aqueous objects, their requirements and ways of adjustment and
adherence of these terms are regulated by the present rules.
II. The preservation of water objects from radioactive pollution
6. Drop and neutralization of sewage containing the radioactive substances are made due to the acting norms of radioactive
safety, the rules of sanitary work with radioactive substances and other sources of ionizing radiation.
7. It is prohibited to drop any sewage created in the result of radioactive sewage neutralization such as mashes or discharged
waters or boiler clots into the aqueous objects.
8. It is prohibited to drop sewage containing the radioactive substances into the ponds and lakes, assigned for fish and bird
breeding and also into the rivers, drains and other aqueous objects connected with mentioned ones.
III The permissible standards of environmental impact on aqueous objects
9. According to importance for the fish-breeding industry the aqueous objects are divided into 2 categories:
The first category includes aqueous objects, used for restoration and preservation of valuable species of fish, differing by high
oxygenous sensitivity.
The second category includes aqueous objects, which are used for another aims of fish-breeding industry.
10. The category of aqueous objects due to importance for fish-breeding industry is determined by fisheries service subject to
the future development of fish-breeding industry and fishery.
11. Formulation and properties of aqueous objects where discharged and natural waters are flowing in every point fixed by
fisheries service in limits of 500 meters from the shedding place must meet the requirements of fish industry.
12. Possibility of sewage drops on the areas of aqueous objects situated nearby the areas of mass spawn, nutrition and wintering
of fish and also the confluence conditions of discharged water with waters of aqueous objects.
13. The permissible standards of density of harmful substances at important for fish breeding aqueous objects may not exceed
the normative indicators given in the annexes N1 and 2 to the present standards.
14. In case of inflow of some contaminants, which have the same indicators of harmful effect (subject to volume of sewage
mixtures from surrounding spillways) into the aqueous object the sum of density ratio of several substances in water (S1,
S2….Sn) to their (PDL) should not exceed 1.
If at the section of the aqueous object the water utilization conditions are changing, then the shedding permission must be reconsidered.

IV. The rules for insertion of supplements and changes into the permissible standards of environmental impact on
aqueous objects
15. The supplements and changes can be made after their ratification by Cabinet of Ministers of Azerbaijan Republic and
proved presentation by State fish industrial concern ”Azerbalyg” after the relevant co-ordination with State Ecological
Committee, Committee of Melioration and water industry and the Academy of Sciences.

If the quantity of natural mineral substances on middle level of water in basin
exceeds 30 mg.l, then the increase of their number is allowed in the limits of 5%. It
is prohibited to drop the suspended matters, the residue speed of which exceed
0,4mm/sec in streams, and — 0,2 mm/sec in reservoirs.
There should not be any petroleum products, lubes, and grease or any other
mixtures on water surface.
Water should not have any colors, smells or tastes, effecting on fish.
In comparison with the natural temperature in the basin the temperature of water
should not exceed 50С. For species, living in a quite cold water temperature should
not exceed 200С in summer, and 50С in summer, and 280С in summer, and 80С in
winter in other water basins.
During winter should be nor less than the following indicators:
6,0 mg.l
4,0 mg.l
In all water basins in summer where it is taken as a sample at 12:00 PM it must be
nor less than 6,0 mg.l
Should not exceed the limit of рН 6,5-8,5.

reduction of dissolved oxygen in winter period at aqueous objects of the first
category on 6,0 mg.l., and at aqueous objects of the second category on 4,0 mg.l.,
then the drop of sewage is possible at these aqueous objects because they will not
change the biochemical necessity in oxygen of water.
The availability of poisoned substances in water with direct or indirect harmful
effects on fish and other water organisms is impossible.

utilization of fish reserves at the aqueous objects, which either are in isolated use, are leased, belong to municipality or are in
private proprietorship.
7. Privileges application is regulated by appropriate legislation of Azerbaijan Republic. The catch of fish and any other water
animals with research and supervisory or fish-farming purposes and also for their adaptation to environment and removal and
indication of fishing limits is free of charge.
