Rules 160 protection zones. Establishment of security zones of electric grid facilities: problems at the legislative level. Requirements for the boundaries of establishing security zones of electric grid facilities

Power lines (PTL) are a source of increased danger to people - both because of the risk of injury from electric shock and its consequences, and because of the negative impact on the body that the electromagnetic field has.

Therefore, along the entire length of power lines, security zones are designated where legal restrictions are introduced on certain activities. In addition, these restrictions ensure the safety of the power lines themselves from damage and the possibility of their normal operation.

The owners of electric grid facilities are network organizations.

However land plots, on which power lines are located, due to the long length of the latter, they are rarely the owners of such sites. As a result, power transmission line protection zones become an area with a dual status.

On the one side, the owner retains his rights to this land plot and has the right to enter into transactions with it.

On the other side, the use of such areas is limited by law and almost any serious action is prohibited or requires approval from the network organization.

An additional headache for the owner of such a plot arises due to the chaos that occurred during privatization and distribution land plots.

Quite often, security zones are not allocated in any way, and there are already buildings on them, the use of which is impossible sanitary standards security. It happens that municipal authorities, when allocating a plot of land for rent for specific needs, do not take into account that the proposed activity is prohibited in security zones Oh.

Rules

The procedure for using land plots through which protected zones pass, regulated by the Rules approved by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 160 of February 24, 2009.

These rules state:

size and procedure for allocating security zones;
actions prohibited in security zones;
actions for which it is necessary to obtain an approval decision from the network organization, as well as the procedure for obtaining such a decision;
the procedure for ensuring access of network organizations to power lines for operational and repair work, as well as for eliminating accidents.

A significant part of the Rules establishes restrictions for the owner of a land plot, but there is also a section that determines the responsibility of the network company.

Thus, the law obliges the network company to report planned work in advance, and in writing - the owner must receive such notification no later than 7 working days before the start of planned work. And on agricultural land, such work is completely permitted only after the harvest, or if it is possible to carry out the work without damaging unharvested crops.

In the event of emergency work to prevent accidents or eliminate them, the owner should know that the network company is obliged to notify him in writing no later than 2 business days after the start of such work.

In addition, the owner has the right to demand that the land plot be brought to its original condition, as well as payment of compensation for losses incurred during the work.

Requirements for the boundaries of establishing security zones of electric grid facilities

The size and boundaries of security zones directly depend on the type of power line and the method of its installation. Existing options for installing power lines:

air, passing above the ground and above the surface of water bodies;
cable, laid underground and under the surface of the water.

For overhead lines, the boundaries of the security zone are determined by vertical planes located at a given distance from the outermost wires. The corridor obtained by these virtual planes is the security zone. The distance to each side from the power line is calculated according to its voltage class.

So, if the design voltage does not exceed 1 kV, this value is equal to 2 meters; for more powerful power lines, the distance increases and is:

up to 20 kV inclusive – 10 meters;
up to 35 kV – 15;
up to 110 kV – 20.

If the lines pass over a body of water where there is no navigation, the boundaries of the protection zone are determined in the same way.

The only difference- in this case, the territory with special status It is the water surface that enters, not the earth. For navigable reservoirs, the width of the protection zone is set equal to 100 meters in each direction, without reference to the voltage class.

Establishment of security zones

The responsibility to establish security zones around network facilities falls on network companies. This determination takes place in agreement with Rostechnadzor.

Information about the boundaries of security zones is recorded in the state real estate cadastre. It is from the moment the entry appears in the cadastral registration documents that these zones are considered established, and the land under them receives encumbrances.

In land documents (for example, a cadastral passport), the presence of a security zone and the encumbrances of the land plot corresponding to this fact must also be stated.

If there are no records of a security zone in the documents for a land plot, its owner may appeal its establishment or demand compensation for infringement of his rights to property.

Who will be the defendant in such a situation depends on when the security zone was registered- under the current owner, or before him.

In the latter case, the previous owner is responsible. If the security zone was allocated under the current owner, it is necessary to find out why he was not informed about this.

Marking the boundaries of security zones is also the responsibility of network organizations. In the case of overhead power lines, such markings are created using plates that are located on supports every 250 meters. Among other things, these signs must indicate the width of the security zone and information about the owner of the power line, including a contact telephone number. The absence of such marking may also become a reason for a claim against the network company.

In the security zone of power lines (VL) it is prohibited

The law prohibits the commission of any actions in the security zones of power lines that could lead to disruption of the safe operation of power lines, as well as entail harm to the life and health of people or other damage. The following actions cannot be performed:

throw any foreign objects onto power lines (this includes accidental hits from kites or aircraft);
climb onto overhead line supports, as well as enter fenced areas of electrical grid facilities;
block existing passages and entrances that provide access to power grid facilities;
dump heavy loads (over 5 tons), perform work that uses impact mechanisms;
discharge into the soil corrosive or corrosive substances that could damage the base of the overhead line support;
arrange landfills and burn garbage.

In addition, within the security zones of high and medium voltage power lines (that is, over 1 kV), there are a number of other prohibitions, including:

placement of sports and children's playgrounds;
holding any events where a large crowd of people is planned.

Restrictions on the use of areas falling within the power transmission line protection zone

In addition to actions that are generally prohibited, there is a whole list of potential activities for which permission must be obtained. These include:

any construction, as well as major repairs of existing structures, their reconstruction or demolition;
planting trees, shrubs or, on the contrary, cutting them down;
mining and blasting operations;
work that may cause land flooding, for example, reclamation;
watering the land with a stream of water, the height of which may be higher than 3 meters;
passage of cars, mechanisms, as well as the use of agricultural machinery, the maximum height of which is more than 4.5 meters.

As can be seen from the list of actions prohibited or requiring approval, land plots with such uses are quite difficult to use.

It will be problematic and unsafe to place residential and retail space on such plots, so usually such plots are used for farmland or vegetable gardens (in the case of small plots for private individuals).

To obtain permission to work, the owner or user of a land plot must contact the network organization.

The request must be submitted no later than in 15 days before the start of work. In this case, the request must be accompanied by documents clarifying the details of the work, for example, design documentation for the construction site.

The network organization is given two days to consider the submitted application, after which it must give a positive or negative response. The refusal must be justified by existing legislative norms. In case of unmotivated refusal (or refusal for reasons that are not a reason for it), it can be appealed in court.

If the owner or tenant of a land plot with a power transmission line protection zone commits actions that are prohibited, he will be punished in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation.

Usually this administrative penalties for damage to electrical networks.

Thus, if the actions committed resulted in a break in the supply of electricity, then the offender may be fined (from 5 to 10 minimum wages for an individual and 100 to 200 minimum wages for a legal entity). However, if the actions committed caused damage to the health or caused the death of a person, the violation will become criminal.

A separate question arises if the owner of the land unauthorizedly built any building on the territory of the protected zone. If such a violation is discovered, the court may decide to move or demolish the building, and all costs will fall on the owner

However, you can try to get approval for this construction from the network company in pre-trial procedure. If the location and design of the building meets electrical safety regulations, it can be left.

Danger of living near power lines

It may seem that the Rules for Establishing Security Zones are aimed mainly at protecting power grid facilities. But initially, the boundaries of the protection zones were determined based on the danger of the impact of power lines on human health.

The electric field has an extremely negative effect on the human body. First of all, the cardiovascular and nervous system. However, this effect is felt only after a long stay. Staying near power lines for a short time is quite safe, although there are people with high sensitivity who may feel unwell even after a short stay near power lines.

There are also types of allergies in which a person may experience an epileptic-like reaction when exposed to a high-level electric field.

The safe distance at which people can stay for a long time without harm to their health is defined as the one at which the level of electric field strength does not exceed 1 kV/m. This is how the boundaries of the security zones of overhead power lines are calculated depending on the design voltage.

However, the owner of the land plot through which the security zone of the overhead power line passes one should not think that he is completely safe outside this zone.

The fact is that the above calculations take into account only the electric field. And most power lines conduct alternating current at industrial frequency, which results in the appearance of an electromagnetic field.

In Russia, studies have not been conducted on the impact of magnetic fields on the human body, but the results of foreign experiments and observations have shown that the magnetic field has a negative effect on human health, causing disorders of the nervous and immune systems, as well as increasing the risk of cancer.

At the same time, safe distances from power lines at which you can long time stay without harm to your health, several times exceeding established sanitary standards.

It follows that any areas where power lines run are unsafe for living. In this case, the harm caused will not be noticeable immediately, but will accumulate and lead to deterioration of health gradually.

The creation of a power line security zone is an action aimed at increasing the safety of all parties. And violation of the rules in force in this zone can lead to unpleasant consequences not only for the violator’s wallet, but also for his health and even life.

Since the use of land with such encumbrance is very limited, it may be advisable to avoid acquiring such plots.

When purchasing land, you must carefully study the cadastral documents for it, and if possible, inspect the site in person - a power line not included in the documents may later turn out to be an extremely unpleasant surprise that will poison the further use of the purchased territory.

If such a situation does occur, it is worth trying to negotiate with the network company to move the power lines outside the site. However, one must understand that such measures are very costly, and a court decision to postpone may be necessary if the installation of power lines was carried out with violations.

The notification is sent taking into account the control deadlines determined in the established procedure for sending written correspondence within a period that allows for its receipt no later than 7 working days before the date of commencement of the relevant work, except for the cases provided for in paragraph 18 of these Rules. The notice indicates the duration of the work, as well as its content.

18. Work to prevent or eliminate accidents, as well as their consequences, at electric grid facilities may be carried out without prior notification to the owners (land users, landowners, tenants) of land plots. When carrying out the specified work, network organizations are required to send a notification to the owners (land users, landowners, tenants) of the relevant land plots no later than 2 business days from the start of the work.

The notification indicates the nature and type of damage to electrical grid facilities, as well as the start and completion dates of the work.

After performing maintenance work on electric grid facilities, work to prevent or eliminate accidents at such facilities or their consequences, network organizations must bring the land plots to a state suitable for their intended use or to the state in which the corresponding land plots were before the implementation. works, as well as compensate owners (land users, landowners, tenants) for losses caused during the work.

19. If security zones are established on agricultural lands, scheduled maintenance work on power grid facilities is carried out during the period when these lands are not occupied by agricultural crops or when it is possible to ensure the safety of these crops.

20. Planned (routine) work on the maintenance of cable power lines that cause disruption of the road surface can be carried out only after preliminary agreement of the conditions for their implementation with persons who own highways by right of ownership or other legal basis, and within settlements - also with authorities local government.

In order to agree on the conditions for the work, the network organization operating the relevant cable power lines sends to the specified entities no later than 7 days before the start of the work a written application indicating the content and timing of the work, as well as a draft traffic management scheme for this period .

Persons who own highways by right of ownership or other legal basis (local government bodies of settlements within which the corresponding highways are located) are required to consider the specified application of the network organization within 2 working days from the date of its receipt and make a decision on its approval (refusal). in agreement). Refusal of approval is permitted in cases where the content and timing of the work do not comply with the established mandatory requirements or the draft traffic management scheme does not comply with the requirements of regulatory legal acts in the field of safety traffic.
