Bureya Dam Threatens Railway.
(From The Moscow Times)
In order to expand the Bureya hydroelectric power station, which came online this June, the federal government must relocate some 50 kilometers of Trans-Siberian rail line -- a 4 billion ruble ($131 million) task.
Although the sum pales next to the massive capital poured into the Amur region project, the government so far has been unable to cough up the funds.
In order to stick to plans for the power plant to be fully operational by 2007, "construction [of the new tracks] should have started last year," said Tatyana Milyayeva, spokeswoman for Unified Energy Systems, the electricity monopoly that holds a 70 percent stake in the plant.
"We are now pushing for the government to set aside funds in the next year's budget to start construction."
Bureya power station director general Yury Gorbenko said reservoir water will encroach on the Trans-Siberian rail lines only after the fourth or fifth units are put into operation around 2005.
During a visit to the Far East on Friday, Deputy Prime Minister Vladimir Yakovlev was quoted by Prime-Tass as urging local officials to expedite the preparations for the flooding that will take place as the Bureya River is increasingly harnessed.
