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.

Other key elements of PCB Management Plan Stakeholder Engagement Strategy Communication Strategy PCB Information Management Systems: –Web site –Databases –GIS-based Information Management System – 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 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 (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. Output 4.6: Transportation and disposal of approxima­ te­ly 600 tons of PCBs and associated waste disposed.
