		HC composition is mainly formed under the Pechora River discharge influence and determined by genetic and lithofacial parameters of bottom sediments accumulation areas.
		HC content in the Pechora Bay sediments is higher than of that observed earlier in the sediments of Pechora Sea shallow waters with strong increase of aliphatic compounds contents.

		Wholesale release of the remaining oil into the river system would create an ecological disaster, threatening the livelihood of the downstream communities which depend on the river system and the overall environment of the Pechora river system into which the Kolva and Usa rivers flow.
		These communities prefer river water for part or all of their domestic water needs, as the deep well water which is their main supply is contaminated with iron in concentrations ranging from 3.3 to 6.7 mg per liter.
		These river communities are largely based upon traditional economies which are dependent upon the maintenance of water quality in the rivers for direct consumption and resource harvesting of the fishery.
