STUDY

PLANTS
STUDY
423 species of plants grow at
the Egiin gol project site.
The 5 species of rare and 4
species of very rare plants were
registered in the proposed
reservoir area, however these
species are distributed in other
areas of Mongolia.

2664 ha forest resources.

Transfer 6 ha younger tree.
Clearance 14 ha fallen tree and burnt
tree.
Forestry offset and afforestation costs
are included in Environmental
management plan.

In relation to EGHPP project implementation, working

responsibilities has been established.
After conducting survey among the community, the new
Khantai community center has been identified and it is
located 4 km from the current center which is called the
Damirangiin enger.

SOCIAL IMPACT: Local community cooperation

PIU and Working Group, collaborates
closely with local community and
authorities.
THE SCOPE OF WORK:
Organized Public Khural of Khantai Bagh
Organized trip to existing HPP of
Mongolia for local representatives of
Khutag-Undur soum and Khantai bagh
Property census
Supports the local employment

Received land acquisition for the

construction area of HPP and infrastructure
route from Bulgan and Orkhon aimags
soums.

SOCIAL IMPACT: Survey

PIU conducted social surveys for purpose of providing
information and made observation on opinion about HPP,
focus group meeting and questionnaire among the
targeted local residents.
The result of focus group questionnaire represented that
insufficient information on renewable energy and HPP
among the 1250 people who were from urban and rural
community.
PIU has been developing detailed plan to cooperate with
the mass media such cognitive TV programs to give
general understanding about the hydropower plants.
Thus targeted groups understanding about HPP and
renewable energy have more accurate and positive
attitudes.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
ASSESSMENT

Detailed EIA of both EGHPP

and
transmission
line
corridor were performed
separately
and
got
approved by MEGD in
2014.

RENEWABLE ENERGY
- Reduction of air pollution
- Climate change mitigation
- Green development
- Clean energy

The detail environmental

studies and impacts were
assessed based on this
assessments
and
Environmental
Management
Plan
was
developed.

GREENHOUSE
GAS

The potential positive and

negative impacts were
evaluated in compliance
with the Mongolian EIA
laws and regulation and
International standards.

FRESHWATER
RESERVE

- Reduction of coal
consumption annually by
200 thousand tnn

- Constantly circulating
5,6 billion cubic meter

- Reduction of greenhouse
gas emission by 709
thousand tnn

- Protection from
desertification

- Humid climate

The costs associated with

EMP
measures
and
reclamation activities are
reflected in total cost of
EGHPP.

TOURISM
CENTER
- Tourism hub
- Pleasant natural condition
- Water sport
- Fish farming potential
