Integrated Program for Treating Domestic, Industrial, and Hazardous
Biological and Medical wastes
(Комплексная программа по обращению с твердыми и жидкими бытовыми,
промышленными, строительными, опасными биологическими и медицинскими отходами)
An integrated program for waste management includes:
- Waste inventory of residential and industrial enterprises nearby populated areas
- Introduction of a system for the collection, removal, and disposal of solid household wastes
(SHW)
- Removal and disposal of industrial wastes (IW) and liquid household wastes (LHW), using the
latest advanced technologies
- Increasing the attraction of investments for capital expenditures
NEC’s program focuses on the location of facilities for industrial waste recycling and, in
particular, the location and construction of modern waste sorting complexes (WSC). Financing
the construction of WSCs is performed via utilizing shareholder funds and looking for potential
investors. The construction of one waste sorting complex allows the lifecycle of a landfill to be
extended by at least six times, thereby greatly aiding the problem of waste recycling, as such
sites have historically been taking up increasingly larger areas and presenting ongoing health and
environmental threats to the population.
When collecting and disposing of various kinds of specific wastes, for example, HBandMW
(extremely hazardous and medical wastes), such technologies that do not have an adverse impact
on the environment are used, all the while maintaining safe and healthy working conditions.
Within its programs, the Company prepares all necessary recommendations for the general
cleaning of regions of land.
These programs are in full accordance with the Methodical Guidelines on the Order of
Development of General Cleaning of Areas of Human Settlements in the Russian Federation,
approved by a decree of the Russian Federation Construction Committee. The general plan
includes the following steps:
- Analysis of the scope of work, methods for collection, disposal, sorting, treatment, and
recycling of wastes
- Determination of the required amount of cleaning equipment and the means for acquiring such
(leasing)
- The appropriateness of the design, construction, or reconstruction of facilities for sanitation
cleaning systems
- Determination of an approximate investment for the development and purchase of fixed assets
- Compilation of a calendar timetable for the project
An integrated program for the treatment of various wastes is prepared in conjunction with the
territorial offices of the Russian Federal Service for Ecological, Technical, and Atomic
Supervision, the Federal Service for the Supervision of Natural Resource Usage, the
administrational organizations of the regions, cities, and other regulators in the waste processing
industry, as well as regional environmental experts. The program also takes into account
opportunities for economical, industrial, and social development within the regions themselves.
The NEC has developed and begun the implementation of a program for treatment of solid
household wastes in the Luhansk region (Ukraine) for 2009-2020. Negotiations are also
underway with eight organizations throughout the Russian Federation for the launch of this
program.
Project stages and time periods (plan structure):
1. Analysis of the current environmental situation in the region (1 month):
- A study detailing the collection, transportation, disposal, and utilization of wastes
- A report on the residential and industrial infrastructure of the administrative units to
determine the amounts of SHW and IW in the region
- A field study performed at local waste processing landfills, as well as analytical studies
- Consultations with local environmentalists and regional authorities
2. Preparation and formulation of the program (2 months)
3. Implementation of an integrated program, including support for the program via the
assistance of local authorities (time period in accordance with the contract)
Program framework:
1. Evaluation of the amount of wastes accumulated in the area of a municipality
1.1. Determination of the volumes of accumulated SHW from housing and infrastructure
facilities as the top priority for the estimated period

1.3. Determination of the volumes of accumulated medical waste
1.4. Determination of the total amount of street and road cleaning wastes
1.5. Total SHW volume collected throughout the area of the municipality
1.6. Assessment of the amount of liquid household wastes collected
2. System for collection, removal, and disposal of SHW collected throughout the areas of
municipalities

regions
9. Long-term action plans to improve the sanitary cleanliness of a municipal area
(REGION)
9.1. An analysis of the current system for financing municipal activities in the field of
sanitation and waste management, including suggestions for improvement
9.2. Major techno-economic indicators of the general scheme of sanitation of the
municipality
9.3. Financing of long-term plans to improve sanitation of a municipal region
