Nutrient monitoring activities in the Leningrad and Kaliningrad regions have been implemented within BASE Project. BASE supports the implementation of the Baltic Sea Action Plan (BSAP) in Russia. The monitoring pilot project is focused on the assessment of the nutrient loads coming to the Baltic Sea from Russian part of the catchment. The main activities within the pilot project include nutrient sampling and flow measurements in the river Neva catchment (downstream outlet from Lake Ladoga) and in the water objects of Kaliningrad region (Pregolya and its tributaries, other rivers of Vistula and Curonian Lagoon etc.). More information about results can be found from the BASE Project final report from the HELCOM website.

This dataset contains actual (non-normalized) riverine flow as well as actual atmospheric and waterborne inputs of nitrogen and phosphorus. In addition the dataset includes the normalized total nutrient inputs (atmospheric + waterborne) of nitrogen and phosphorus into the Baltic Sea. The data are used in the HELCOM core indicator on Inputs of nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) to the sub-basins 1995-2020 (https://indicators.helcom.fi/indicator/inputs-of-nutrients/). The river input data is based on reported riverine monitoring data as reported in HELCOM PLC data collection. Data on waterborne inputs, water flow and retention are reported by Contracting Parties to the PLC-Water database. The data are verified and quality assured using the PLC water database (https://nest.su.se/helcom_plc/) verification tools and national expert quality assurance. Atmospheric input data for all Baltic Sea sub-basins are available for the period 1990-2020. Atmospheric transport and deposition of nitrogen compounds are used for modelling atmospheric deposition to the Baltic Sea based on official emission data reported by EMEP Contracting Parties and expert estimates. Atmospheric input and source allocation budgets of nitrogen (oxidized, reduced and total) to the Baltic Sea basins and catchments were computed using the latest version of EMEP MSC-W model. Input of nutrients (N=Nitrogen, P=Phospohus) units are tonnes per year per HELCOM PLC Subbasin. Area delineation of HELCOM PLC subbasins can be accessed from https://maps.helcom.fi/website/mapservice/?datasetID=1456f8a5-72a2-4327-8894-31287086ebb5 Subbasin acronyms stand for: BOB: Bothnian Bay BOS: Bothnian Sea (including ARC = Archipelago Sea) BAP: Baltic Proper GUF: Gulf of Finalnd GUR: Gulf og Riga DS: Danish Straits (= WEB + SOU) (= Western Baltic + Sound) KAT: Kattegat BAS: The Baltic Sea

Screening activities for component Hazardous wastes on the Leningrad and Kaliningrad Region territories have been fulfilled within the BALTHAZAR project. The main goal of the Project BALTHAZAR is assistance in protection of the Baltic Sea from pollution through reducing of loading caused by agricultural entities (AE) and hazardous wastes. The component Hazardous wastes is focused on inventory of large landfills and estimation of current regime in hazardous wastes management. The main task of screening was to study impact of large landfills on environment of the Leningrad Oblast and Kaliningrad Oblast and to reveal the landfills causing the main loading on the Baltic Sea with pollutants.

The objective of the Balthazar project was to assess the potential sources of nutrient loading from all types of large animal farms in the Kaliningrad and Leningrad regions and to perform risk assessment of nutrient leaching from the livestock farms into Baltic Sea.
