According to the norms of the Water Code of Ukraine, a special security regime is established in coastal areas. In such areas, strict requirements are imposed on the objects being erected. In particular, their construction can be carried out only after the preparation of project documentation, which is developed in compliance with special requirements. That is why builders first of all turn to professionals in the field of design, because only experts can take into account all the rules and competently draw up the "Environmental Protection" section of the project. After contacting professionals, it is mostly possible to agree the developed documentation with the controlling services without problems.

Restrictions on economic activity are established in order to prevent pollution of the aquatic environment. They operate on the coastline, the width of which usually does not exceed 500 m. In this area, the law prohibits:

• discharge wastewater;
• movement and parking of cars;
• construction of gas stations;
• organization of warehouses where combustible, poisonous, toxic and lubricating materials will be stored;
• construction of maintenance stations;
• construction of burial grounds;
• car washing.

In other words, it is forbidden to build structures that could harm the water body on the site 500 m from the reservoirs. However, it is still possible to build a capital structure on the coastal territory, if measures are taken to protect the reservoir from pollution. Moreover, many facilities in 1980-1990 were built in water protection zones in gross violation of environmental norms.

Therefore, it was decided not to demolish the building, but to force the owners to take all the necessary measures aimed at protecting the environment. After that, they will be able to legalize the buildings. Thanks to the new version of the Water Code of Russia, entrepreneurs have the opportunity to do business in the water protection zone.

The developer independently chooses the type of security structure. These can be the following devices:

• sewage systems of autonomous or centralized type;
• systems that allow cleaning and disposal of waste water.

Technological solutions must be adopted taking into account the specifics of a specific object. Their cost directly depends on the complexity and scale of construction, and the design is often carried out after conducting hydrometeorological and geological surveys.

The main difficulties and mistakes
with independent design:

1. Lack of an agreed project of the Sanitary Protection Zone (SZZ)
2. Lack of metering devices and objective (calculated) data on the required productivity.
3. Lack of title deeds to the land.
4. Inaccuracies in the preparation of the Terms of Reference: all the necessary studies were not taken into account, the documents listed above were not taken into account.
5. The justification of the price was performed incorrectly, on the basis of commercial proposals of non-specialized organizations, without taking into account the fulfillment of the requirements of technical conditions, the need for inspection of buildings and structures, etc.
6. Surveys, research, and design are performed by different companies, which causes delays and additional work.

 Decisions from
Company "Gutman Construction":

• We will analyze the existing situation, prepare the Terms of Reference for the SZZ project. If necessary, we will execute the project of SZZ and agree on it.
• We will collect all the necessary data, make calculations and submit it to the customer for consideration. If necessary, we will temporarily install metering devices.
• We will help in the preparation of documentation, if necessary, we will include it in the TOR for design.
• We will analyze the existing situation and prepare the correct technical task.
• We will prepare an estimate for design and exploration works and surveys, based on basic price guides.
• We have considerable experience and qualifications for the organization of a full range of design and search works. Company "Gutman Construction" has SRO permits for both design and exploration work. We are guaranteed to provide a positive conclusion of the examination and support during SMR.
