The Story about the interest in the Bureya theme in the morning on January 21, 2019
1) About increase in level of attention to "The Bureya problem" ("The governor of Khabarovsk Krai Sergey Furgal signed the order about introduction in the territory of the region of the emergency regime"). About (possible) specification of plans for the solution of "The Bureya problem" ("punching in the blockage for the passage of the water is likely to continue until the end of February").
"The Bureya anomaly will receive the status of "emergency of federal character"
On January 21, 2019 45
In Khabarovsk Krai the emergency regime of the regional level is introduced, such order was signed by the governor Sergey Furgal following the results of a trip to Verkhnebureinsky district to the place of a huge landslide.
As reported to "Habarovsky kray segodnya" news Agency in the Amur Basin Water Administration, in the evening of January 21, there will be a video conference with the head of the EMERCOM of Russia Yevgeny Zinichev, at which this status is likely to be raised to Federal. On the classification accepted in the Russian Federation, an incidents with number of victims over 500 people or with damage more than 500 million rubles are included in this list.
- It will be logical that costs of elimination of a blockage on Bureya and possible resettlement of inhabitants of Chekunda the Federal budget will take on, - acting as the head of department of water management of the Amur Basin Water Administration of Federal Agency for Water Resources Nikolay Yefimov tells. - The scientific expedition which is now in the place (point) of a blockage will continue work and observations and after the beginning of explosions. Besides, together with the ministry of natural resources of Khabarovsk Krai it is entrusted to scientists to determine the amount of damage caused to the reservoir and the environment.
As reports the government of Khabarovsk Krai, the authorities of Verkhnebureinsky district and scientists characterized current situation as "intense". Above on a current from the place of anomaly the village of Chekunda with the population of 117 people is located. A critical mark for its flooding, the level in the 258th meter on the Baltic system is considered. Now it is almost 254 meters and is constantly increasing. Earlier, members of the expedition determined that the water does not pass through the blockage, why between the separated parts of the river formed a level difference of more than 5 meters.
Deterioration in a situation is expected from the beginning of thawing of snow and high waters in April.
Scientists do not exclude that explosions can lead to further collapse of the hill into the river." [https://todaykhv.ru/news/incident/18035/]

2) Additions to information on large-scale actions for preparation for elimination of a natural dam on the Bureya River.
"Military carried out more than 10 trial [experimental] blastings on the Bureya Reservoir
On January 21, 2019, 07:05
Specialists of the Russian Defense Ministry carried out more than 10 trial [experimental] blastings on the Bureya Reservoir in Khabarovsk Krai where the jam because of a landslide was formed. The press service of the Defense Ministry reported about it.
The Ministry reported that the density and homogeneity of the descended rock masses were revealed. According to TASS, hydrologists record an increase in the difference in water levels between the gauging stations before and after the landslide almost 6 m.
At the same time water level after a descent of soil continues to fall approximately on 10 cm a day, and at Chekunda continues to grow on 1-2 cm a day. At the moment there are no floodings in nearby settlements ..." [https://iz.ru/836159/2019-01-21/voennye-proveli-bolee-10-probnykh-podryvov-na-bureiskom-vodokhranilishche]
3. The questions which are (perhaps) remaining (so far) without answers:
1) Whether "Report" "about a problem of the Bureya anomaly" is made. About such (possible) "Report" before (18.01.2019) the message was made. [https://todaykhv.ru/news/incident/17993/] Is possible, "Report", its project or its fragments, already somewhere are published.
2) What positions of RusHydro and both hydroelectric power stations on the Bureya River (operating and which is under construction) conserning taking place events? Let's assume that these positions are formulated and published.
("After a hill collapse in Khabarovsk Krai the Bureya hydroelectric power station cut a water consumption
On January 9, 14:17 ...
BLAGOVESHCHENSK, 9 January - RIA Novosti. The Bureya hydroelectric power station in the Amur region after the collapse of the hill to the Bureya River in Khabarovsk Krai reduced a water consumption to 600 cubic meters a second to balance work before a spring high water and to avoid the so-called dead volume of a reservoir, the Amur Basin Water Administration reports ...
"As a result of the collapse of the left-Bank slope in the valley of the Bureya river on December 12, the Bureya reservoir was divided into 2 sections by the formed dam. The value of the cut-off useful volume of the Bureya reservoir is about 28%, taking into account the indefinite terms of the elimination of the [natural] dam, it is proposed to establish the operation mode of the Bureya reservoir with an average discharge flow rate of 600 plus or minus 100 cubic meters per second for the period," the Amur basin water management reports the data of the interdepartmental working group on the regulation of the operation modes of the Bureya, Nizhne-Bureya and Zeya reservoirs.
Before the emergency situation, the consumption of the Bureya reservoir was 820 plus or minus 100 cubic meters per second.
The level of dead volume (below which it is impossible to dump water from the reservoir) of the Bureyskaya HPP is 236 meters.
In the Department of water resources of the Amur basin water management RIA Novosti said that it is premature to say that the spring flood in the Amur region after the collapse of the hill will turn into problems.
"The spring flood is a pattern that is unique every year. Not knowing the snow level, it is premature to talk about the flood, which is three months behind today's date," the representative of the Amur water Department explained, adding that the incident has not yet affected the power generation of the HPP.
The Bureya hydroelectric power station since January 9, 2008 is PJSC RusHydro branch. On the Bureya hydroelectric power station 6 hydrounits are installed, the rated capacity of the station is 2010 MW. RusHydro - one of the largest Russian power holdings uniting more than 90 objects of renewable power in the Russian Federation and abroad, thermal power plants and power grid assets in the Far East, as well as an energy sales companies and a research and design organizations (institutes)..."
