Implementation of the Program will create conditions for preserving the unique Lake Baikal ecosystem as a significant development factor of the Baikal natural territory.

Substantial reduction of polluted wastewater flow into the Baikal water area down to 70% by 2020 against 2010 is planned to be achieved in the course of implementing the Program.

Implementation of waste management measures of the Program will ensure the following:

Development of infrastructure for ecological tourism will increase the contribution of the system of specially protected natural territories to the preservation of the natural potential of the Baikal natural territory through optimized recreational impact exerted on the natural systems. At the same time, the infrastructure of ecological tourism being formed will ensure a wider use of the recreational potential of this unique region (28% higher ratio of visits in specially protected natural territories to their recreation capacity), resulting in a developed range of associated services in the field of transport, hotel business, public catering, sport, and trade.

 

Measures aimed at developing the system of specially protected natural territories will ensure more efficient fire protection measures in the Baikal natural territory due to a 25% reduction of the average forest area having suffered from fire (as compared to updated 2011 information). A higher anthropogenic load should be accompanied by simultaneous adequate efforts aimed at preserving the biodiversity and fauna habitat. The Program provides for maintaining the share of flora and fauna species registered in the Red Book of the Russian Federation and protected in specially protected natural territories, in the total amount of flora and fauna species registered in the Red Book, at the level of 13.6%.

Measures in the field of use, research, preservation, and reproduction of biological water resources and their habitats will increase the stock of valuable fish species in Lake Baikal by 43.6%.

Bank protection will safeguard the territory and population against emergency situations and reduce the human waste pollution of Lake Baikal and its inflowing rivers. The need for protection engineering and bank protection will be 22% less.

Reinforcement of the material base and improvement of the state environmental monitoring that provides highly accurate, real-time, and complete data due to the use of information from all authorized state bodies will become a significant result of the Program implementation.

The efficiency of spending budget resources allocated to implement the Program shall be characterized by the result of the Program measures under the condition of planned volumes and funding sources.

The efficiency of spending budget resources shall be assessed for a reporting fiscal year throughout the term of the Program.

The efficiency of spending budget resources shall be characterized by the following groups of factors:

 

The degree of compliance between actual and target levels of spending budget resources shall be characterized by timeliness, completeness, and purpose-oriented nature of using the resources provided for the implementation of the Program. This factor shall be evaluated by comparing actual expenditures in a reporting year in the areas of implementation and measures of the Program to their target values.

The extent of executing the plan of the Program measures shall be evaluated on the basis of data representing:

To assess the extent of achieving target results of the Program in a reporting year, the actual target indicators and parameters shall be compared to their planned values.

The procedure for evaluating the efficiency of the Program implementation is specified in Appendix 8.

The target indicators of the Program actually achieved in a fiscal year shall serve to confirm the efficiency of using budget resources.
