LAKE SEVAN AT THE OFFICIARY PERIOD OF ARAM HAROUTIUNIAN
"The level of Lake Sevan rose by 63 cm to 1898,86 m", announced RA Minister of Environmental Protection Aram Harutyunian at a press conference in Armenpress press hall in connection with his 100-day tenure.
However, this news cannot be unequivocally good news taking into account the issues connected with the lake's level rise.
"This year leakages from Sevan started in June and reached 144,4 mln m3. Only 75 hectares from 92 hectares under water was cleaned yet", informed the Minister.
According to him, this year the appropriation from the state budget increased by 20 mln drams (about 58 thousand US dollars) to 29 mln 995 thousand drams for the acquisition of several species of fishes.
According to check up and control of the Supervision of MNP 492 violations are recorded in 519 enterprises and the penalties reached 22,2 billion drams. Also 118 violations of nature were recorded and recorded 49 mln drams of penalties. In total, 29,2 mln drams were transferred to state budget.
The national parks "Sevan", "Dilidzan" and the forest reserves of the republic were also at the center of attention of Aram Harutyunian during his 100-day tenure. A thorough check up was realized there and the reconstruction of some governmental buildings was fulfilled.
Aram Harutyunian's attention was also concentrated on the activities of Alaverdi's Copper-Molybdenum Enterprise. The Ministry staff visited the factory and discussed issues of exhaustion and equipments of decreasing air pollution. The Minister was informed about the program worked out by "Armenia Copper Program" CJSC, which exploits the mine, to reduce the exhaustions of the factory. The program is to carry out this year and finish in 2008.
According to the MEP Monitoring Center of the Environment the medium content of acid in the air of Alaverdi is 11,4 times more than the permissible norm. The exhaustions of last year exceed 2 tons instead of the permissible 1,5 ton.
An additional order "The permissible norms of the exhaustions of the companies having air polluting not movable sources" is also worked out during those 100 days. Projects on permissible exhaustions of 30 organizations were drew up and affirmed.
