Step 3: Prioritization of Hot Spots

3.4. Step 3:  Prioritization of Hot Spots

The prioritization of the Hot Spots was based on the scores determined from the previous step (Step 2) with the highest scores being promoted.  Some latitude was allowed for flexibility in developing the final list for immediate implementation of corrective actions, i.e., initial mitigation estimates and funding list.  For example, a good range of the major industries in each portion of the basin were represented.

The NHSE prioritized the short-listed Hot Spots using the results of Step 3 and identified the Hot Spots which proceeded to Step 4.  The number of Hot Spots, including water treatment plants and industrial enterprises, selected for Step 4 were as follows:

- Belarus: 5 Hot Spots

- Russia:  5 Hot Spots

- Ukraine: 10 Hot Spots
