measures of state regulation. The differentiated approach is provided for the separation of
objects that have a negative impact on the environment in four categories (Figure 1).
Objects that have a negative impact
on the environment
Category I
Category II
significant
potential
of environmental
pollution
moderate potential
of environmental
pollution
Category III
small
potential
of environmental
pollution
Category IV
minimal potential
of environmental
pollution
Objects related to the fields of application of the best
available technologies (BAT)
Objects that do not relate to the fields of application of
the BAT
Figure 1: Differentiation of economic agents at the level of potential environmental pollution
For objects in Category IV, measures of state regulation in the field of environmental protection
will not be applied. The main measures of state regulation for the other objects are shown in
Table 1.
Categories of economic agents
1. Agents with significant
potential of environmental
pollution (Environmentally
hazardous facilities - 99 % of
negative impact on the Russian
environment), including:
Quantity of
economic agents
(objects)
11445
Measures of state regulation
- The establishment of standards for
permissible emissions, discharges (the
technological standards) by integrated
permitting;
- a negative impact on air;
4772
- The implementation of the state
environmental control at the federal
level;
- a negative impact on water
bodies.
6073
- Carrying out the state ecological
expertise.
∼290000
- Submission of a declaration of the
planned emissions, discharges volume
2. Agents with moderate
potential of environmental
pollution
3. Agents with small potential
of environmental pollution
∼700000
- Submission of a report about the
volumes of actually made emissions,
discharges in the notification procedure
