The Story about the interest in the Bureya theme on January 19, 2019
1) About increase in level of attention to "The Bureya problem".
2) Additions to information on large-scale actions for preparation for elimination of a natural dam on the Bureya River (trial explosions).
3) About (possible) specification of plans for the solution of "The Bureya problem" (the [additional] report).
4) The "additional" publications found at inquiries (a) "the Bureya hydroelectric power station January, 2019" (b) "RusHydro January, 2019 the river growing brown" (mentions of projects of construction and modernization of thermal power plants of the Far East).
1) About increase in level of attention to "The Bureya problem".
"2019-01-18. The Chairman of the Committee of Legislative Assembly concerning agrarian policy, to environmental management and ecology I.A. Kiyevskaya held a meeting with the minister of forestry and fire safety of area A.V. Venhlinskiy, the acting chief of the Head department of the Ministry of Emergency Measures of Russia in the Amur region I.V. Smirnov.
Subject of a meeting became emergency situation in the Bureya district where the bed of the river is blocked as a result of a landslide, and elimination of its consequences.
It was decided to go (on January 30) to the Bureysky district together with the specialists of the Ministry of forestry and fire safety of the region and the main Department of EMERCOM of Russia in the Amur region to get acquainted with the situation on the spot and to meet with local residents.
Because overlapping of the bed of the Bureya River has negative impact on the environment and is potentially dangerous to settlements and residents of the area, the committee holds the matter on constant control."

2) Additions to information on large-scale actions for preparation for elimination of a natural dam on the Bureya River.
"19.01.19, 11:28. Military began explosive works on a natural dam on the Bureya River. The military personnel of engineering troops of the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation began the trial explosions of rocky breeds on the Bureya River in Khabarovsk Krai on which last December because of a landslide the natural jam was formed. Department reports that for investigation of the area the "Orlan-10" unmanned aerial vehicle is used.
At first it is supposed to determine rock density for calculation of power of necessary charges. In total for clearing of the riverbed of Bureya it is supposed to use more than 300 tons of explosive." [http://www.interessant.ru/people/voiennyie-nachali-vzryvnyie]
3) About (possible) specification of plans for the solution of "The Bureya problem".
"January 18, 2019 ... In Verkhnebureinsky district of Khabarovsk Krai on the place of a descent of a huge landslide the scientific expedition prepared by means of the regional government continues work. On January 17 the first conclusions which were drawn by scientists on the place of events became known, "Khabarovsk Krai Segodnya" news Agency reports. The report is planned to be submitted to the President of Russia during the meeting about a problem of the Bureya anomaly today.
- Our fears about full isolation of two parts of Bureya from each other were confirmed, through a blockage the infiltration of water does not happen, - told the acting as the head of department of water management of the Amur basseyno-water management Nikolay Yefimov. - Other results, more detailed, we will formulate and we will publish next week, the group continues work on the place. On January 22 military will begin to blow up a blockage and this business will last until the end of February - a single explosion, are clearly not enough. Now we think of the possible sizes of this cut [corridor, tunnel], but it is already necessary to connect design organizations to this case - even so.
As noted by Nikolai Efimov, further work to ensure the normal functioning of the Bureyskaya HPP, which is downstream, RusHydro is ready to provide through the involvement of its own design organizations... " [https://todaykhv.ru/news/incident/17993/]
4) The "additional" publications, which were found during the internet requests (a) "the Bureya hydroelectric power station, January, 2019" (b) "RusHydro, January, 2019, the Bureya River".
"... 18:01 RusHydro transferred functions of sale of the electric power on Sakhalin to the Far East energy company
18:01 The design organizations for [activity on] projects of construction and modernization of thermal power plants of the Far East ... are defined" [http://www.rushydro.ru/press/news/]
How to interpret the information coming from RusHydro? As a data "indirectly connected" to information on measures to eliminate natural platinum? Or as data not interconnected?
Let's hope that the positions of RusHydro and both hydroelectric power stations on the Bureya river (operating and under construction) regarding the events will be available (until 22 January 2019). We will assume that these positions are formulated and published.
