5.4.1 
National Standards
Issues related to protection of soils, geology and groundwater in Uzbekistan are regulated by 
the following legislations: 
 
SanPiN No.0272-09 Sanitary rules and norms for compiling hygienic justifications for 
soil protection schemes from pollution in Uzbekistan": The Sanitary Rules and Norms 
include the basic requirements for development of hygienic justification for the soil 
protection schemes against pollution, duties and functions of state sanitary 
supervision bodies in this area. 
 
SanPiN No.0191-05 Maximum permissible concentrations (MPC) and Approximate 
allowable concentrations (AAC) of exogenous harmful substances in soil: This 
defines MPC values of chemicals and pesticides polluting the soil. MPCs and AACs 
are designed to ensure that there is no negative direct or indirect impact on 
human health, its future generations and public health through soil contact. 
 
SanPiN No.0212-06 Sanitary rules and norms for the hygienic assessment of soil 
contamination of different types of land use: This document provides a unified 
methodology for hygienic assessment of soil pollution using a nomenclature of 
indicators of soil hygienic condition, which should be used both in the 
development of regulatory and technical documentation on the hygiene of soils, 
and in assessing the degree of its pollution. 
5.4.2 
Lender Requirements 
EBRD 
Performance Requirement 3 on Resource Efficiency and Pollution Prevention and Control 
establishes general requirements for pollution prevention as follows: 
 
The assessment process must identify technically and financially feasible pollution 
prevention and control techniques that are best suited to avoid or minimise 
adverse impacts on human health and the environment. Such techniques will be 
appropriate to the nature and scale of the project’s adverse impacts and issues; 
and 
 
The Project must meet the relevant EU substantive environmental standards, where 
these can be applied at the project level. Where no EU substantive environmental 
standards at project level exist, the Project will identify, in agreement with the 
EBRD, other appropriate environmental standards in accordance with GIP.

ADB 
ADB Safeguard Requirements for Environment includes specific requirements to prevent 
pollution and to minimise or control the intensity or loads of pollutant emissions and discharge. 
This includes effective management of hazardous materials and wastes, which can all have 
an influence on soil and/or groundwater quality.
