Table 2: The change of the coefficients to the rates of payment for negative impact on the environment
Within the framework of the reform, it is expected to reduce the list of regulated pollutants, and
define a list of substances banned for emissions or discharges by March 31, 2016; and at the
same time increase the base rates for negative impact on the environment. It is supposed to keep
the system of temporary permissible emissions/discharges for a seven-year period provided that
the reduction plans of negative impact on the environment or the BAT implementation
programs (eco-efficiency programs) will be carried out. In the case of failure to comply with
reduction of emissions, discharges within 6 months after the due date specified in the plan or the
program, the calculated payment shall be recalculated applying the coefficient 100.
So the fees for emissions/discharges of pollutants could increase up to 5 times compared with
the present period.1
The Forms and Conditions of State Support for BAT Implementation
State support for BAT implementation in the form of tax incentives; benefits in respect of
payments for negative impact on the environment; and state capital investments is provided for
in the reforms. These incentives will be given to enterprises if they realize such measures as:
1) Implementation of BAT;
2) Design, construction, reconstruction of:
•
recycling and wastewater free water supply systems;
•
centralized water disposal systems, sewer systems, local structures and equipment for
wastewater treatment, including drainage water, for treatment of liquid waste and sewage
sludge;
•
constructions and installations for the capture and utilization of emitted pollutants, heat
treatment and cleaning of gases before their emission in the atmosphere, for the
beneficial use of associated petroleum gas;
3) Installation of:
•
equipment to improve fuel combustion modes;
