Group III:watercourses with significantsalmon spawning or (possible)presence of Sakhalin Taimen
(Data from official SEIC’s documents)
Example of typical practice of upstream tributaries’ crossings:Travyanaya river (Makarovsky district, Spread III of construction)
Travyanaya river:
Waterway fish-industry category(under Russian legislative rules) -- Highest
Presence of Sakhalin Taimen --- Yes
River Group (SEIC’s classification) --- III

Under the Russian legislation, the official prohibited zone of an ammunitiondepot is 400 m, safety zone is 3 000 m
- The current distance between the pipeline and the ammunition depot is 300 m
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
In case of explosion, the range of all buildings’ destruction will be 7 – 11 km
- The distance between LNG plant and the ammunition depot is about 4.5 km
Pipeline location is adjacent to old military ammunition depotwhich is in violation of Russian legislation, and createsa huge risk of catastrophic explosion

Many violations now are extremely serious andirreversible
� Offshore platform base installed before expert panel could completeassessment
� Salmon stream crossing violations� Aniva Bay dumping� There was no sufficient and appropriate baseline data submitted� Essential alternatives were not assessed� There is no Resettlement Action Plan until now� Too late start of working on Indigenous People Development Plan� Fundamental and systematical violations of Russian legislation
Sakhalin II will never comply with EBRD policies
EBRD financing of Sakhalin II project will send wrong message to:• Future companies• Other banks• Civil Society
