About safety of hydraulic engineering constructions
This Federal Law governs the relations arising when implementing activities for safety during the designing, construction, capital repairs, operation, reconstruction, preservation and liquidation of hydraulic engineering constructions, establishes obligations of public authorities, owners of hydraulic engineering constructions and the operating organizations for safety of hydraulic engineering constructions.
This Federal Law extends to hydraulic engineering constructions which are specified in article 3 of this Federal Law and which damages can lead to emergence of emergency situation.
The legislation on safety of hydraulic engineering constructions consists of this Federal Law, regulatory legal acts of the President of the Russian Federation, regulatory legal acts of the Government of the Russian Federation, and also regulatory legal acts of federal executive bodies adopted according to it, including federal regulations and rules of safety of hydraulic engineering constructions.
Federal regulations and rules of safety of hydraulic engineering constructions affirm the federal executive bodies performing functions on development and realization of state policy and normative legal regulation in the field of safety of hydraulic engineering constructions and establish mandatory requirements:
to safety of engineering procedures in case of operation of hydraulic engineering constructions, except for requirements imposed to safety of the engineering procedures proceeding in the basic and in the service equipment of the power generation facilities settled by requirements to ensuring reliability of electric utility systems, reliability and safety of power generation facilities;
to the level of professional education of experts in the field of safety of hydraulic engineering constructions, to their length of service in the direction of professional activity on hydraulic engineering constructions, to knowledge and skills necessary for conducting state examination of declarations of safety of hydraulic engineering constructions;
to procedure for establishment by the owner and (or) the operating organization of criteria of safety of the hydraulic engineering construction, the organization and control (monitoring) of indicators of condition of the hydraulic engineering construction;
to operations procedure in case of accident of the hydraulic engineering construction.
Establishment and assessment of application containing in federal regulations and rules of safety of hydraulic engineering constructions of mandatory requirements are performed according to the Federal Law of July 31, 2020 No. 247-FZ "About mandatory requirements in the Russian Federation".
In this Federal Law the following basic concepts are used:
hydraulic engineering constructions - dikes, buildings of hydroelectric power stations, water waste, vodospuskny and water final constructions, tunnels, channels, pumping points, navigable locks, ship elevators; the constructions intended for protection against floods, destructions of coast and bottom of water storage basins, the rivers; constructions (dam) protecting storages of liquid waste of industrial and agricultural organizations; devices from washouts on channels, and also other constructions, buildings, devices and other objects, held for use water resources and prevention of negative impact of waters and liquid waste, except for objects of the centralized systems of hot water supply, cold water supply and (or) water disposal provided by the Federal Law of December 7, 2011 No. 416-FZ "About water supply and water disposal" and port hydraulic engineering constructions;
the operating organization - the legal entity or the individual entrepreneur owning the hydraulic engineering construction on the property right or other legal cause;
the owner of the hydraulic engineering construction - the Russian Federation, the subject of the Russian Federation, municipality, physical person or the legal entity irrespective of its form of business having rights of possession, uses and orders of the hydraulic engineering construction;
emergency situation - the situation in certain territory which developed as a result of accident of the hydraulic engineering construction which can entail or entailed the human victims, damage to health of people or environmental damage, considerable material losses and violation of conditions of life activity of people;
