During preparation of the design documents Baikal Mining Company performed a lot of work relating to integration of solutions based on the best available technologies and up-to-date industrial environmental monitoring techniques into the project.

Following the results of the public consultations with the residents of Kalar District of Zabaikalye Region concerning the materials of preliminary environmental impact assessment of the project, design documentation was supplemented with the solutions regarding the route and surface of Udokan settlement road bypass, partial change of the recirculating water system intended for Udokan MMP as well as emission abatement system based on the location of the existing and potential specially protected natural areas and areas of traditional nature management.

Responsible approach to environmental safety control and comprehensive work in this field enabled Baikal Mining Company to develop Udokan MMP project in strict compliance with modern requirements to high-level environmental protection.
