Government Decree No. 85 validating a standard contract for the long-term provision of areas of protected natural areas for the expansion of the network of seismological stations, the construction of hydraulic and other protective structures against mudflows, avalanches, and landslides.

The Government Decree validates a standard contract for the long-term use of land plots located within protected natural territories. The contract is intended to facilitate the expansion of seismic monitoring stations and the construction of hydraulic and other protective infrastructure against mudflows, snow avalanches, and landslides.
The standard contract regulates the transfer of designated protected-area land plots to authorized government users on a long-term, temporary, and free-of-charge basis without changing the protected status of the land. It specifies the permitted purposes of land use, including the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of seismic and protective facilities, while requiring strict compliance with environmental, forestry, wildlife, and protected-area regulations. The contract includes detailed provisions on land characteristics, project implementation conditions, ecological assessments, protection of animal migration routes, and restrictions on the use and transfer of land rights. Users are granted limited operational rights but must obtain necessary environmental permits, notify authorities of certain activities, and ensure ongoing compliance with conservation requirements.
The contract establishes comprehensive obligations, liability rules, and oversight mechanisms. Users must rehabilitate affected land after project completion, compensate for any environmental damage, allow inspections by authorized institutions, and remove or transfer infrastructure at the end of the agreement term. The protected-area institution retains monitoring and enforcement powers, including the right to terminate the contract under specified circumstances. The document also outlines procedures for force majeure events, amendment and renewal of the contract, dispute resolution through negotiation and courts, and registration requirements. Standard annexes provide templates for listing transferred land plots, mapping their location, and documenting forestry and ecological characteristics.
