Standard provision on operation of water storage basins/ponds / bulk ponds for fish farming

I. Scope

1. The standard provision on operation of water storage basins/ponds / bulk ponds for fish farming (further - the Standard provision) regulates procedure for creation of regulations on water storage basins/ponds / bulk ponds for fish farming and establishes general criterions of operation of single and indivisible water objects, irrespective of the patterns of ownership constructed according to requirements of the existing regulations for the purpose of their proper and steady use and extends to any physical person or legal entity which is owning or having right to use water storage basins/ponds / bulk ponds for fish farming.

2. Requirements of this Standard provision are intended for creation of provisions on operation of water storage basins/ponds / bulk ponds for fish farming and shall be observed by all physical persons and legal entities involved in designing, construction and operation of water storage basins/ponds / bulk ponds for fish farming depending on technical requirements on designing and technical parameters on operation.

3. Documentation on designing, construction, repair and operation, including provision on operation of water storage basins/ponds / bulk ponds for fish farming, is approved with administrative authority of water resources management and other authorized bodies according to the current legislation.

4. Requirements of this Standard provision belong both to constant, and to temporary operation of water storage basins/ponds / bulk ponds for fish farming. Temporary operation assumes operation of installations during construction and initial filling of water storage basin/pond / наливнова pond for fish farming which is carried out by the certified contractor of construction works when providing the measures for supervision established according to the current legislation.

5. Start date of continuous operation of water storage basin/pond / наливнова pond for fish farming and constructions the approval date of the protocol of final acceptance in continuous operation of constructions established at the time of completion of initial filling of water storage basin/pond / наливнова pond for fish farming and its start in normal operating mode is considered.

6. The provision on operation of water storage basin/pond / bulk pond for fish farming is the technical document on operation of single and indivisible water object based on which use of water resources and other natural resources with observance of conditions of environmental protection, streamlining of waterway, and also accomplishment of obligations on content and repair of hydraulic engineering constructions in the terms established by technical data sheet of the hydraulic engineering construction according to regulations and based on observations of behavior of constructions in operation shall be performed.

6-1. Provision on operation of water storage basin/pond / bulk pond for fish farming and, in appropriate cases - technical cards are approved and registered public organization "National Administration of "Apele Moldovei"", with entering of data into the automated information system "State Water Inventory".

6-2. Provisions on operation are developed by the certified specialists in the field of designing of hydraulic engineering constructions.

7. Persons guilty of violation of this Standard provision are subject to civil, administrative or criminal liability according to the current legislation.

7-1. For the purposes of this Standard provision the following concepts mean:

the measuring graduated lath - lath with an accuracy of 1 cm on which the normal retaining level, level to which the water intake for irrigation is allowed (the maximum level of emergency ration of water for fish breeding) is specified, and the level of dead amount, established on wet slope or on mine spillway;

normal retaining level - water level in water storage basin / pond / bulk pond for fish farming which corresponds to threshold of flood spillway and is established in technical card;

level of dead amount - water amount in water storage basin / pond / bulk pond for fish farming, inadmissible for intake of water and intended for maintenance of biological diversity in the water circle;

servitude output - minimum necessary amount of water which shall be provided in the lower byef, consisting of sanitary output and the amount of the outputs necessary for different types of use;

flood spillway - the hydraulic engineering construction providing directed dumping of water in case the water mark in reservoir exceeds mark of normal retaining level in reservoir;

emergency ration of water for fish breeding - the water amount accumulated to the minimum admissible level for pumping for the purpose of irrigation;

instruction - the phenomenon of adjournment of the alluvial material transferred by the current water, leading to gradual raising of bottom of the lake, water storage basin, pond, the river, stream, part of bed, bed etc.;

water output - the average speed of spillway in cubic meters per second (cubic m/s);

dredging works - works on cleaning and removal of the alluvial material laid at the bottom of superficial reservoirs;

the return washing - the return water flow along coast of waterway.

II. Main characteristics and features

8. Features of operation of water storage basins/ponds / bulk ponds for fish farming are determined by their size and amount, structure of the main hydraulic engineering constructions, conditions and the purpose of regulation of output of waterway, technical and geological and morphometric conditions of bottom and the coastline, etc.

9. The main characteristics of classification of water storage basin/pond / наливнова pond for fish farming:

10. The category of responsibility of the hydraulic engineering construction is determined by its class, according to existing rules of designing in the field of hydraulic engineering constructions. This indicator depends on the established task, availability of settlements, industrial enterprises, agricultural holdings and so forth placed both in the lower byef, and in the upper byef.

11. Calculated values of outputs of water for permanent hydraulic engineering constructions, depending on class of their importance, are determined taking into account annual probability of their exceeding for two cases of calculation: the main and checking.
