A number of design deviations have been detected under the project
to build Khachaghbyur-2 small water power plant on Paghjur river,
Armenia's Environment Protection Minister Aram Harutyunyan said in
the Armenian Parliament on Wednesday.
He said that the deviations were detected by a special committee
monitoring the construction of Khachaghbyur-1 and Khachaghbyur-2.
Oct 16 Trchkan Civil Initiative sent Harutyunyan an inquiry concerning
the Khachaghbyur-2 Water Power Plant project. The greens pointed
out that the contractor of the project, Megaenergy, was carrying
out the construction in the territory of two nature reserves, while
its papers said that there were no protected lands in the project
area. "They say that no trees will be cut down as the pipeline will
run along the road. But in reality there is no road in the area and
the 2.8 km long pipeline will run through woods, with lots of trees
to be cut. In fact, there has been no environmental examination. So,
we want to know why the Environmental Inspection has given green-light
to this project and who will be responsible for these lies contained in
the project documentation and for the damages being caused to nature,"
the greens said.
