- Emissions of dust
Typical sources of dust emissions during the construction phase are the activities aimed
at clearing the location and removing of the existing vegetation, removing of the asphalt,
demolition of the existing structures, handling of materials, temporary waste disposal,
movement of machines and equipment, construction of new structures etc.
Significant emissions of dust are expected from the demolition of the existing structures.
At this stage of the Report, due to the lack of data in the documents available, the total
quantities of dust, generated by these activities are difficult to be assessed. The
quantities of dust emissions generated will depend on the manner the activities are
carried out, the measures applied, the state of the machines and their route of movement,
the period and the duration of the construction activities, the meteorological conditions
and also on the location on which these activities will take place.
- Emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC
9
)
The asphalting process will generate VOC's emissions and these emissions will also be
generated by the combustions of fuels in the machines and in the equipment. The
quantity of VOCs emissions generated will depend on the quantities of asphalt used and
on the use of materials which contain volatile matter, as well as from the type and the
quantity of fuel.
- Emissions of exhaust gasses
Exhaust gasses (CO, CO
2
, PM, N
x
, VOC, SO
x
and heavy metals) in the ambient air shall
be emitted from the internal combustion engines in the construction machines and in the
transport vehicles, which will be used during the construction works. The rate of exhaust
gasses emissions will depend on the number of vehicles used and the strength of the
internal combustion engines, the quantity and the quality of the fuel, the condition of the
engines, the frequency of movement, the number of working days etc.

In order to establish the concentration of particulate matter and CO
2
in the ambient air, as
a base situation before starting the project activities, for the needs of this Report, we have
measured their presence at the most sensitive location along the alignment of the
motorway (near the village of Mrzenci). The measuring was performed with the instrument
DustTrak DRX (for dust) and S (for CO
2)
in May, 2013. The results of these
measurements will be the ground on which we will base future monitoring of air quality
during the construction and operative phase of the Project, in order to compare the air
quality in the current situation and the air quality during the construction and the operative
phase of the Project, and to see whether and how much the motorway affects the air
quality along the alignment, which is the subject of this Report. The location of the
measuring site, where the measuring was made and the results were obtained is shown
in the following figure:

Conclusion: Based on the measuring it may be stated that although the metering point is
close to the motorway and close to a settlement, the values of PM
10
in the ambient air fall
within the maximum permitted concentrations for a period of 24 hours (50 g/m
3
), and are
in compliance with the Decree for limit values for levels and types of polluting substances
in the ambient air and alarming thresholds, deadlines for reaching limit values, limit values
tolerance margins, target values and long term objectives (Official Gazette of Republic of
Macedonia No. 55/05).
The above cited Decree does not stipulate the maximum permitted concentrations for
CO
2
.
Odour will be generated during the procedure for asphalting the alignment.
Impact of the air emissions
As explained above, the project activities will cause air emissions, which are expected to
cause deterioration in the ambient air quality in the project area and in its immediate
surroundings.
Along the alignment of the motorway, where the construction works will take place,
sensitive receptors which may be affected by the deterioration in the air quality are: the
local population, especially in the village of Mrzenci as the closest settlement, the users of
the motorway (the passengers) and people using local roads, the construction workers,
the farmers, the farming land and the crops.
The potential impact of the deteriorated air quality is that it may cause possible respiratory
problems and irritation of people, visual deviation (dust clouds), deposition of dust in the
immediate vicinity of the construction site in the form of dust deposits, the vegetation will
be covered with dust and the process of photosynthesis will be reduced etc.
The asphalting activities will cause odour which can cause discomfort among the local
population, the construction workers and the travellers.
Taking into consideration the anticipated activities and the sensitive receptors, the impact
on air quality is assessed as likely adverse, direct and cumulative; it may be immediate
and could also have revocable effect. With regard to the scope, the impact is local,
certain, and with regard to duration, it is a short term impact. In regard to intensity, the
impact is of medium to high intensity. The impact is also assessed as residual, and
although mitigation measures will be applied, there is high probability for the impact to
remain.
6.1.1.2 Operative phase
Taking into consideration that the alignment Negorci-Gevgelija already exists, and that it
has been used for decades for intensive motorway traffic which contributes to the
deterioration of the air quality along this section, no additional impact on air quality is
expected by the anticipated activities.

6.1.2 Emissions into water and sewage
6.1.2.1 Construction phase
The expected construction activities cover series of activities which are potential sources
of emissions which may affect the water quality. The deterioration of water quality will be
caused by the increased concentration of particulate matter and other polluting
substances which will be generated when the site is cleared and vegetation is removed,
during the construction activities, during handling and disposing of construction materials
and waste near the water bodies, from unwanted leakage of fuels, oils, concrete, asphalt
or direct discharge of water used for cleaning of the equipment (concrete mixer),
unsuitable management of sanitary waste water generated by the workers etc.
Water pollution may also be caused in case of accidents and catastrophes.
Water pollution may be direct or indirect, caused when polluting materials are transferred
through washed soil or polluted ground water.
Impact on water
Sensitive receptors along the section where the construction activities will take place and
which may be affected by the project activities and the deteriorated water quality are:
Mrzenska River, atmospheric waters, Vardar River which is a recipient of water from this
river, the surrounding land and the river bank and water flora and fauna.
During the construction of the bridge on Mrzenska River detention of water may appear, if
the wings of the bridge are embedded in the river bed. Indirect effect of the demolition
and the construction of bridges will be the accumulation of sediments downstream behind
the wings of the bridges, which may cause changes in the flow and in the manner of
sedimentation.
The intensity of the impact will depend on the number and the size of the bridge wings
which are located in the water bed (the more and the broader the wings the detention of
water will be greater). Having in mind that the wings of modern bridges are narrow and
usually are not embedded in the river bed and that the impact will be limited to the small
area behind the wing of the bridge, the impact of the construction of the bridges on the
water regime is not expected to be high.
The construction activities may change the existing drainage network, due to blocking or
changing the water course during the demolition and construction of the planned
structures, the bridge and the underpass.
During the construction phase, the water quality in the river may deteriorate as well as the
quality of atmospheric water in the project area, as a result of construction activities,
especially of activities carried out directly in the river bed of the Mrzenska River.
The release of significant quantities of sediments in the bodies of water, directly or
through the atmospheric waters, may cause changes in the flow of the watercourse and
may also affect the plant and animal organisms in the water and in its vicinity. The
polluting substances which may be generated from the above mentioned sources, may be

right carriageway of the Motorway A1 (E75), Smokvica-Gevgelija, section Negorci-Gevgelija
59
introduced in the surface and ground waters and may have direct impact on the physical
and chemical properties of the water and thus indirectly affect the organisms living in the
water.
The activities mentioned may also affect the water in the project surroundings. During the
construction activities on this section, it is necessary to pay special attention to the
existing communal infrastructure, especially to the water supply and sewerage
installations and the installations for irrigating agricultural land in order not to damage
them. Their position in relation to the section Negorci-Gevgelija is presented in the Figure
23.
The impact on the water caused by the project activities is assessed as adverse, direct
and indirect, cumulative, it may appear immediately or after a certain period of time with
reversible and irreversible effect. With regard to its scope, the impact is local and certain,
and with regard to duration, the impact will have short term and long term effects. In
regard to intensity, the impact is of medium to high intensity. Also the impact is assessed
as residual, which means that although mitigation measures will be applied; there is a
high probability for the impact to appear and to remain in future.
6.1.2.2 Operative phase
In the operational phase of the motorway, the emissions into water will be the same as
the current emissions caused by the operation of the motorway.
Impact on water
The construction of the new carriageway will reduce the green area, which so far served
for draining atmospheric water, and will increase the waterproof surface covered with
asphalt, which will increase the quantities of atmospheric water which need to be drained
from the carriageway. If the drainage structures are not constructed properly or are not
maintained properly, a flood, or erosion may occur.
If the channels and the drains are covered with waste, sludge and vegetation, unwanted
microorganisms may develop, which will cause water pollution and the spread of
unpleasant odour. If the drains are blocked with vegetation and with other types of waste
their flow capacity will be reduced which will cause overflow or floods.
Also, if the drainage network is not properly constructed, whirlpools may form at the newly
built bridge.
The impact on the water in the operational phase is assessed as adverse, direct,
cumulative, which may appear immediately or after a certain period of time with reversible
effect. With regard to its scope it has local impact and it is probable, while with regard to
duration, the impact will have long term effects. In regard to intensity, the impact is of
medium to high intensity. In this phase no residual impact is expected.

6.2 Generation of waste
6.2.1 Construction Phase
The activities aimed at extending and reconstructing the original carriageway lane of the
right carriageway of the section Negorci-Gevgelija, will generate the following categories
of waste: hazardous, non-hazardous, inert and biodegradable waste.
Some types of waste may be classified as a hazardous waste according to the Directive
91/689/EEC or the Decision 94/904/EEC. Certain wastes may be defined as inert or
relatively non-hazardous waste on the site, but they may become hazardous depending
on their treatment and disposal.
In the following table we present all types of waste which are expected to be generated in
the construction phase, as per the List of Waste Categories (Official Gazette of Republic
of Macedonia No. 100/05).

Impact caused by waste
Inappropriate handling and management of the waste generated may cause significant
impact on water, soil, biodiversity, people, etc. The inert material which will be generated
with the excavation and which will be temporarily disposed of at the site, will change the
landscape.
The impact which may be caused by the project activities is assessed as adverse, direct
and indirect, cumulative; it may appear immediately or after a certain period of time with
reversible and irreversible effect. With regard to the scope of the impact, it is assessed as
local and probable, while with regard to its duration, it will have a short term to long term
impact. In regard to intensity, the impact is of medium to high intensity. Since mitigation
measures will be applied, no residual impact is expected.
6.2.2 Operative Phase
Having in mind that the motorway will be extended with one additional carriageway lane,
during the operational phase of the project, the quantities of waste generated as a result
of regular maintenance or reconstruction of the carriageway shall increase. The
quantities of waste to be generated cannot be established at this stage, nor the intensity
of its impact.
6.3 Emissions into soil
6.3.1 Construction Phase
The anticipated construction activities entail activities which are potential sources of
emissions affecting the soil. Emissions which may deteriorate the quality of soil are the
Environmental protection report from realization of the Project-extension with reconstruction of the existing carriageway,
right carriageway of the Motorway A1 (E75), Smokvica-Gevgelija, section Negorci-Gevgelija
63
emissions of waste water, waste, emissions caused due to inappropriate handling of
materials, accidental leakages, air emissions deposited as a sediment etc.
Soil pollution may be direct or indirect, caused by polluting materials transferred through
polluted water.
Impact on the soil
The heavy construction activities may disrupt the geological properties of the soil
(demolition of structures and construction of new ones, utilization of heavy machines and
vehicles, transport of materials, disposal of the excavated material, construction waste
etc.); during this the soil may become more compressed, which can destroy the natural
quality of the soil and reduce its fertility. The activities for clearing the area and for
construction may result with soil disappearance due to erosion, caused by water or wind.
The project activities may pollute the soil, especially if there is inappropriate management
of waste water, waste, accidental leakage, and material handling etc., as well as in case
of accidents or catastrophes.
Soil pollution may affect rivers and streams in the project area (surface and ground
water), as well as the surrounding fertile land.
We should have in mind that the construction work shall take place in the green belt
between the two carriageways and no fertile land will be used, which reduces the
possibility for significant impact on the surrounding land (except in cases of accidents or
catastrophes).
The impacts on the soil which may be caused by the project activities are assessed as
adverse, direct and indirect, cumulative; they may appear immediately or after a certain
period of time with reversible and irreversible effect. With regard to the scope of the
impact, it is local, probable, and with regard to its duration, it will have short term to long
term impact. In regard to intensity, the impact is of medium to high intensity. Since
mitigation measures will be applied, no residual impact is expected.
6.3.2 Operative Phase
It is not expected to have additional impact on the soil quality caused by the project
activities in the operational phase of the motorway.
6.4 Noise, vibration and non-ionizing radiation
6.4.1 Noise
6.4.1.1 Construction Phase
During the construction activities various machines and equipment will be used and they
will generate noise. This will be a result of the construction activities, transport of
construction materials and waste, transport of workers etc.
The intensity of the generated noise will depend on the type of the vehicles and
equipment, the location where the equipment will be positioned during the work, the

number of pieces of equipment which shall be used simultaneously at the same place, the
distance between the construction site and the sensitive receptors.
The list of machines usually used for construction and the levels of noise at a reference
distance of 15 m from the source, are shown in the following table. Values in the table are
based on reference information

D Distance from the source
G - Terrain factor
Taking into consideration the highest values given in the previous table and neglecting the
field factor, the worst scenario regarding the spreading of noise around the construction
site is presented in the diagram shown in the following figure:
Figure 40 Noise intensity reduction per distance from the source
From the above figure we can conclude that the noise level at the distance of 100 meters
from the source is about 73 dB (A), while at a distance of 400 m, in the active period, it is
bellow 60 dB (A). The average distance of the village of Mrzenci from the alignment is 500
m.
It can be predicted that noise levels, generated at the construction phase, will be above
the national limit values in the areas where the most sensitive receptors to noise are
located. Most of the work will be carried out outside of the settlement, however in its
immediate vicinity.
The project activities will take place at the existing motorway, which already has two
carriageways on which there is traffic. There are no prior data regarding the levels of
environmental noise along the motorway. In order to establish the level of environmental
noise at the locations where the construction site will be, we have measured the level of
noise at the most sensitive locations (May, 2013) with the device Extech. The measuring
was made during the day (07.00-19.00 h). The results of the measuring are presented in
the following table.

The project area falls under the area with third degree of noise protection, as defined in
the Rulebook on the location of measuring stations and metering points (Official Gazette
of Republic of Macedonia no. 120/08).
The environmental noise level, as defined in Article 3 of the Rulebook on limit values of
environmental noise levels (Official Gazette No. 147/08), for an area of third degree of
protection, the limit values of the basic indicators for environmental noise generated by
different sources should not be higher than:
L
day
60 dB(A) L
eve
60 dB(A) L
night
55 dB(A)
According to Article 6 of the Rulebook on limit values of environmental noise levels, in
areas outside the urban areas, and in areas exposed to intensive road traffic, the limit
values are as follows:
L
day
60 dB(A) L
eve
55 dB(A) L
night
50 dB(A)
Based on noise levels measured it may be stated that the noise levels at the measuring
points are higher than the maximum limit values, as defined in the regulations.
Impact caused by higher noise levels
The construction activities shall increase the existing noise level. Receptors which are
most exposed to the higher level of noise will be the inhabitants of the villages which are
closest to the motorway, such as the village of Mrzenci and the existing fauna in the
whole project area.
The increased noise levels affect the nervous and the hormonal system which may
increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases and may disrupt the cognitive function.
The impact caused by noise generated during the construction is assessed as adverse,
direct, and cumulative, it may appear immediately and will have reversible effect. With
regard to the scope, the impact has local scope and it will definitely appear, while with
regard to duration, it is a short term impact. With regard to the intensity, the impact is of
medium to high intensity. Also the impact is assessed as residual, which means that
although mitigation measures will be applied, the impact is very probable.
6.4.1.2 Operative Phase
The motorway Negorci-Gevgelija in the past decades was a source of increased level of
environmental noise. The construction of the new right carriageway lane will increase the
noise level which can occur at the traffic peak (when at the same time there are vehicles
in the three carriageway lanes), but on the other hand, the reconstruction of the road and
the possibility to mitigate the noise coming from the source, gives a high probability for
reduction of existing noise level. Also the newly built lane in future will be used for
movement of fast vehicles, so the lane which is closest to the settlement will be less used,
which means that the distance from the source will be additionally extended for 4-8
meters thus reducing the noise levels.
The noise impact in the operational phase, compared to the current situation is evaluated
as positive.

6.4.2 Vibrations
6.4.2.1 Construction and operative phase
In the construction phase seismic effects will occur as a consequence of the construction
activities and the presence of transport vehicles. At the construction phase the vibrations
will have the highest impact, since the terrain has a lot of uneven parts, and the
construction machines are very heavy and cause vibrations. In the operational phase the
movement of heavy cargo vehicles will also cause vibrations.
Impact from vibrations
The impact from vibrations, generated during the construction of the alignment and during
its use, is very significant in the vicinity of the settlements (due to the presence of the risk
group of receptors the people). Also very sensitive to vibrations are certain animal life
forms, which may abandon their habitats.
The impact caused by vibrations may be assessed as adverse, direct, cumulative,
immediate and with reversible effect. With regard to the scope the impact is local and
probable, and with regard to its duration, it will cause long term impact. With regard to
intensity, this impact is of low intensity.
6.4.3 Non-ionizing radiation
The planned activities are not expected to produce non-ionizing radiation.
6.5 Biological diversity (flora, fauna habitats)
6.5.1 Construction Phase
The anticipated construction activities aimed at extending and reconstructing the
alignment may disrupt the structure and the function of wild species and their habitats.
The emissions to the water, air and soil may threaten the biological diversity. The noise
from the machines, the increased number of workers and their movement, the presence
of heavy machines and air pollution, may affect the nesting of birds so the easy migratory
birds and other animals may abandon the project location. This will affect the balance of
the eco-system, and this effect will be enhanced by the cutting of the vegetation found at
the project alignment.
Impact on the biological diversity
The construction work may affect the habitats of species, may cause them to lose their
nesting locations and other habitats. This will be caused by the removal of the bushy
vegetation, by the disruption of the watercourses, by blocking the movement of animals,
by visual disruptions, and agitation and hearing impediments which will be a result of the
increased level of noise and vibrations.
Moreover, the sedimentation and the possible erosion which may appear during the
construction activities and the discharge of water during the activities for reconstruction of
bridges over the rivers of Zuica and Kovanska, may disrupt the river eco-system, the
water and the river bed, causing pollution due to inappropriate handling of wastes and
Environmental protection report from realization of the Project-extension with reconstruction of the existing carriageway,
right carriageway of the Motorway A1 (E75), Smokvica-Gevgelija, section Negorci-Gevgelija
68
due to discharge of hazardous materials during incidents, increased concentration of
particulate matter caused by the construction works.
It is evaluated that species and habitats along the motorway do not have high
conservation value, hence it may be assumed that specific sensitivity assessment shall
not be needed. Also the river eco-system of the Mrzenska River is not a sensitive eco-
system since throughout the year it is mostly dry.
Construction activities may impede the movement of fauna species, present in the
surroundings of the alignment.
The workers involved in the project activities may hunt the animals which are found in the
vicinity of the construction sites.
The construction activities on the motorway will have a negative impact on the
reproduction and the migration of birds. Also the construction activities may affect the
nesting and resting of bird populations.
The impact on the biodiversity is assessed as adverse, direct and indirect, it may be
immediate or it may become evident after a certain period, cumulative, with reversible or
irreversible effect. With regard to the scope, the impact is local and definite, and with
regard to duration, it is a short to long term impact. With regard to intensity, the impact on
biodiversity is of low intensity. With the application of mitigation measures, no residual
impact is expected.
6.5.2 Operative Phase
The newly planned project activities are not expected to have additional impact on the
biodiversity.
6.6 Socio - Demographic Impacts
6.6.1 Land Acquisition
Physical limited activities of the project does not provide activities that will lead to changes
directly related to the settlement, which would change the way of life of the local
population, and thus to create significant demographic changes and impacts.
This project does not anticipate impact on land or privately owned buildings. This project
aims to expand the road direction which has 2 lanes instead of 3. The expansion will take
place only in the inner part between the two travel directions, which means it would not
acquire land from citizens, legal entities or the State.
6.6.2 People and Livestock Health and Safety Impact
6.6.2.1 Construction Phase
Construction activities associated with this project will result in a temporary disruption of
normal lifestyle of the local population through:
a) Increased noise and vibration
Environmental protection report from realization of the Project-extension with reconstruction of the existing carriageway,
right carriageway of the Motorway A1 (E75), Smokvica-Gevgelija, section Negorci-Gevgelija
69
Construction activities include increased noise levels which can disturb normal life in the
project area, having in mind the distance of the villages from the project location. The use
of heavy machinery in the decommissioning of the underpass and the bridges, as well as
the use of machinery for construction of new facilities during the construction phase, will
produce additional noise and vibration that can be felt in local neighbourhoods and will
disrupt the established daily life, creating thus, a higher level of anxiety.
This impact can be assessed as negative that directly arises from project activities and it
will appear with beginning of the construction activities. It is likely to occur and would be
temporary, with short-term and local range. Its intensity will be small and mitigation
measures are required.
b) Increased number of traffic accidents
The reduced flow of regular traffic due to construction activities, as well as additional
presence of heavy machinery that will transport materials / debris, will create conditions to
potential increase of the number of accidents at the projects site. Therefore the
Contractor, before beginning of any construction activity, must create Plan for Traffic
Management during construction Activities, make it available to the public and local
communities, and regularly report to the Investor on the progress of the construction
activities.
This impact can be characterized as negative, direct, and it will likely to appear with
beginning of the construction activities. It has short term and local character. Its intensity
will be small and mitigation measures are required.
c) Creation of active construction sites
Construction activities include demolition of bridges and underpass used for passage of
livestock and people to the local fields and pastures. The availability of passage from one
to other side of the highway may be temporarily restricted or disabled, so either affected
parties will have to seek alternative crossings, or the constructor will have to make
adequate passage that would not obstruct construction activities and endanger the safety
of humans and livestock when passing near the construction sites. Access of people and
livestock to the construction sites could endanger their own health and safety and the
health and safety of workers involved in the construction process. Therefore, mitigation
measures must include creation of an appropriate Plan for Organization of Construction
Site, with special attention given to the protection of construction sites from unauthorized
access of people and livestock.
The impact on the health and safety of people and livestock can be assessed as negative,
direct, possible to happen, but with a small intensity. It will be short, of local range and
temporary.

6.7 Social-economic impact
6.7.1 Impact on Business and Agricultural Activities
6.7.1.1 Construction Phase
Construction activities associated with this project will result in a temporary disruption of
normal lifestyle of the local population through the following impacts:
- Disruption of routine economic activities and economic practices in local
businesses or agricultural activities
- Hindered access of local people to their jobs or locations of economic activity
The time for delivery of the products to the final destination will increase which entails
increased financial costs calculated in fuel and depreciation of vehicles transporting
goods across the project area, but also loss of value of agricultural products being
transported. Then, the time required to access to the agricultural farmland will increase,
whereas the most affected will be those who regularly use the highway for transport to
agricultural areas that are at a distance from their place of residence.
This impact is negative, direct, and appears delayed. It is irreversible, short-term, but will
certainly appear with low intensity, if the mitigation measures are properly followed: well-
organized flow of vehicles through construction sites, as defined in the Plan for Traffic
Management during construction activities, as well as establishing conditions in the
contract with the Contractor for hiring percentage of the required manpower for the
construction work on the project from local settlements along the project area.
6.7.1.2 Operative phase
The positive socio-economic impacts are expected after the implementation of civil works
and after commissioning of the section that will be reconstructed. The increased speed
and safety of transportation, as well as the immediate vicinity of the planned
Technological Industrial Development Zone Gevgelija and its access to quality
infrastructure will induce positive economic impact on the local community, from the
perspective of micro (local communities) and mezzo (municipal) level.
6.7.2 Impact on tourism
6.7.2.1 Construction phase
During the construction phase, there will be an increase in time needed for access to the
tourist destinations which can lead to annoyance for the tourists who pass through the
project area. But, it would not cause serious social impacts.
6.7.2.2 Operative phase
Improving road infrastructure will bring positive momentum to the tourists passing through
the project area. Due to the proximity of the border with Greece, the project area needs to
be exploited economically with development of location and facilities for rest /stop
/refuelling just before the border, as well as before entering the city of Gevgelija. Also, a
proper ways needs to be found out how tourists who pass through the project area to be
Environmental protection report from realization of the Project-extension with reconstruction of the existing carriageway,
right carriageway of the Motorway A1 (E75), Smokvica-Gevgelija, section Negorci-Gevgelija
71
directed to the local archaeological and accommodation facilities, and the Project area is
a very suitable place for such promotion.
6.8 Infrastructure Impacts
6.8.1 Impact on Local residents
6.8.1.1 Construction Phase
Construction activities associated with this project will result in a temporary disruption of
ordinary lifestyle of the local residents, hindering access to their homes due to increased
exploitation of local road by vehicles that use the local road instead of the highway. The
impact must be mitigated by appropriate measures that can reduce the increased level of
anxiety by the population.
This effect can be characterized as negative, direct and reverse, with low intensity.
Mitigation measures must be implemented in form of meetings with local residents,
Investor and Contractor, whereas the appropriate safety measures, the Plan for traffic
management and the timeline of planned construction activities will be presented.
6.8.2 Impact on road infrastructure
6.8.2.1 Construction phase
Construction activities associated with this project will result in a temporary increase in
traffic on local road which can suffer degradation of quality. Additionally, the volume of
traffic through Negorci as an alternative route to the highway can increase the, i.e. local
residents from other villages (Prdejci, Smokvica etc.) may use this road more frequently
than highway, just to access the city.
Local residents can be challenged for this state, thus it is recommended to implement
mitigation measures, especially on those parts where damages of the local road will be
evident. These damages must be repaired promptly, as soon as they occur.
This impact will be negative, indirect and may occur delayed. The same is local,
reversible, and can be of variable intensity.
6.8.3 Impact on irrigation, water supply, sewerage system infrastructure
6.8.3.1 Construction Phase
Construction activities of this section of the highway should be implemented in an area
where the irrigation system is widespread on both sides of the highway. Additionally, the
intake system of fresh water to villages passes under the highway, so the contractor must
carefully access to these installations. The Contractor must timely provide the necessary
data and documents from all relevant institutions that have set these installations in order
to prevent incidents that can damage the particular installation causing delay in water
supply to fields or homes and thus causing major economic damage. Any damage caused
to the infrastructure the Contractor must fairly compensate, including damages suffered
due to interruption of irrigation.

right carriageway of the Motorway A1 (E75), Smokvica-Gevgelija, section Negorci-Gevgelija
72
6.9 Socio-Cultural Impacts
This project is not expected to create significant socio - cultural impacts since the
activities are concentrated around existing highway and not spreading spatially.
6.9.1 Labour Impacts
6.9.1.1 Construction Phase
During construction activities some problems with the health and safety of workers might
occur. Accidents that may cause injury when handling the machinery, dust and fumes can
cause respiratory and eye infections, continuous exposure to noise can lead to deafness
etc.
Measures to mitigate these impacts must, above all, follow national regulations. Then,
Occupational Health and Safety Plan, with a strong emphasis on personal protective
equipment, must be fully implemented.

73
7 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION PROGRAM
In order to mitigate the identified impacts were proposed measures that should eliminate
or mitigate the impacts. The measures at the same time may change some parts of the
project design/solutions.
Environmental management program was prepared with the aim to ensure proper
implementation of the proposed mitigation measures.
The Environmental Protection Report includes a monitoring plan to assess the level of
project implementation and effects of the implementation of measures to mitigate the
impacts.
7.1 Mitigation measures for the air
7.1.1 Construction phase
The measures which will be undertaken for mitigation of the impacts on the air include:
Contractor shall implement Plan for the organization of the construction site;
Residents /sensitive receptors will be informed of construction activities and working
hours;
Spraying the area with water to reduce the emissions of dust;
Spraying with water the road for transport of the materials ;
Heaps with material will be fenced, covered or stabilize their surfaces in order to
prevent the dispersion by the wind;
During the trucks loading, transfer and unloading of the materials have to has the
smallest dispersal of the material in order to avoid creation of a cloud of dust, and if it
is possible to set up the system for humidification;
Burning of the remains from the cleaning of the site is not allowed;
Contractor shall implement the Waste management Plan and Soil management
Plan;
The implementation of the Plan for traffic management will include:
- Reduce the driving speed in the areas with earth road (<20-40 km / h) to
minimize the generation of dust;
- During the driving out of the site, the trucks will be covered in order to
prevent the dispersion of the dust during transport;
- Set the device/station for cleaning of the chassis and wheels of trucks/
machinery of all output areas of the construction site in order to prevent
spreading of material on public roads;
- Vehicles and construction machinery should be properly maintained in
order to comply the relevant emission standards for discharge;
- Optimal use of trucks that would carry a maximum weight of materials;
- The routes of the trucks will be planned to avoid weather and roads with
heavy traffic.

right carriageway of the Motorway A1 (E75), Smokvica-Gevgelija, section Negorci-Gevgelija
74
7.1.2 Operative Phase
To determine the air quality in the operative phase along the route is recommended
monitoring of ambient air.
7.2 Mitigation measures for the waters and sewerage
7.2.1 Construction Phase
With the aim to reduce or avoid impacts on water are recommended the following
measures:
- Demolition and construction of the bridge on the river Mrzenska to be realized in
dry season, during low flow or when the river is dried up;
- During construction activities which are carried in the river bed, to minimize the
possibility of entering waste and sediments (muddy water) in the water flow;
- The bridge to be designed and constructed in a manner that will ensure minimal
intervention and influence in the water basin;
- If during the excavation has stumble upon contact with groundwater, such sites will
be immediately closed to prevent major changes in the groundwater level and
water flow in the area;
- Application of good practices and experiences in the design to avoid the
occurrence of flooded areas, upstream of the bridges and along the surface of the
route, ie to assess whether the existing drainage systems have sufficient capacity
to accept new volumes of storm water;
- Control system for drainage and manholes in order to avoid possible floods or
accidents during construction;
- Application of asphalt and concrete can be done in dry periods to prevent leakage
of asphalt or concrete with their washing;
- During the construction is recommended to cover the drainage systems in order to
prevent them from clogging;
- Waste water produced in construction camps must not be discharged into
watercourses or channels near the project scope. On the areas signed for
construction activities will be set up mobile toilets, which will be properly handled
by an authorized company. Mobile toilets should be placed at a distance on more
than 100m from the drainage infrastructure or surface water flow;
- Protection of the river and its coastal vegetation in the area of interest, without
regulation and removal of the vegetation in order to develop self-purifying power of
rivers;
- During the design phase and implementation of construction activities to be taken
into consideration the existing networks for water supply, waste water collection
and irrigation systems, as well as pipeline and to take appropriate measures to
protect them.
Environmental protection report from realization of the Project-extension with reconstruction of the existing carriageway,
right carriageway of the Motorway A1 (E75), Smokvica-Gevgelija, section Negorci-Gevgelija
75
It is also recommended to apply the Soil Management Plan, Waste Management Plan,
Hazardous materials Management Plan and spill control and Emergency Response Plan.
7.2.2 Operative Phase
To reduce or avoid impacts on the water in the operative phase are recommended the
following measures:
- Regular review and maintenance of drainage structures (channels, manholes and
ducts) in order to prevent covering with waste or sediments;
- Channels and ducts should not be covered with waste, sludge and vegetation.
7.3 Mitigation measures for reduce the impact of waste
7.3.1 Construction Phase
With the aim to mitigate the impacts which can be caused by the generated waste in the
construction phase, it is necessary to prepare the Waste Management Plan before
starting with the construction work, in which will be highlighted the problems relating to:
location and storage, transportation and disposal of the waste.
7.3.2 Operative Phase
Although the project activity refers the existing highway, where the traffic is progressing
and already is applied measures for waste management, however the integrated
environmental protection is recommended with the implementation of the following
measures:
- Preparation of the Waste Management Plans (which among other things should
include locations for placing containers along the route).
- Regular cleaning and maintenance of drainage systems
- Signing contracts with organizations for waste management along the entire
section
7.4 Mitigation Measures for reduction of the impacts on soil
7.4.1 Construction Phase
For reduction of the impacts on soil are recommended the following measures:
Use of good construction practices;
Appropriate strengthening of slopes with geo-textiles;
Implementation of measures arising from the Soil Management Plan, Hazardous
materials Management Plan and leaks control, Traffic Management Plan;
During the design phase and implementation of construction activities to be taken into
consideration the existing networks for water supply, waste water collection and
irrigation systems, as well as pipeline and to take appropriate measures to protect
them.
Environmental protection report from realization of the Project-extension with reconstruction of the existing carriageway,
right carriageway of the Motorway A1 (E75), Smokvica-Gevgelija, section Negorci-Gevgelija
76
7.4.2 Operative Phase
To reduce or avoid possible impacts on the soil in the operative phase, beside existing
measures that are implemented in the current section, it is recommended regular
monitoring of the flow of storm water, waste management and conservation of vegetation.
7.5 Mitigation measures for reduction of the noise, vibration, non - ionizing
radiation
7.5.1 Construction Phase
To reduce or avoid impacts from increased noise level are recommended the following
measures:
Preparation and implementation of the Traffic management Plan on site
11
;
All construction equipment shall meet the requirements of Directive no.
2000/14/EC of EU for noise emission in the environment created by outdoor
equipment;
Construction works to be performed in the period from 07:00 to 19:00 h.;
Avoiding overlapping works, i.e. works that generate high levels of noise near the
sensitive receptors/settlements;
The equipment shall be provided with suitable devices to damp noise that
reduces sound levels and will regularly be maintained;
Choose muted or compressors with quiet hydraulic equipment during the usage
of pneumatic equipment;
Implementing the good engineering practice for noise management, i.e. disposal
of the equipment that cause more noise along the route will be on a way to avoid
the cumulative impact of noise;
Establish marked access to the site and informing drivers for the routes, parking
and recommendations for driving;
Regular maintenance of roads (and inspections) to minimize the impact of
sounds when trucks pass on the irregular surfaces of roads;
Limit the speed of vehicles in critical areas (in and outside the site).
To effectively reduce the noise that will be generated during the operative phase, during
the design phase and construction phase of the route should be applied appropriate
measures that will contribute reduction of the noise from the source, and also vibration.
These measures include:
Vertical and horizontal positioning of the road;
Covering with so-called "quiet asphalt";
11
In the Traffic Plan would be established limits of the speed for construction vehicles and machinery on site and
transportation routes to be used and organize traffic to avoid residential areas as much as possible.
Environmental protection report from realization of the Project-extension with reconstruction of the existing carriageway,
right carriageway of the Motorway A1 (E75), Smokvica-Gevgelija, section Negorci-Gevgelija
77
Traffic management.
Proper positioning of the road and choice of appropriate materials in its construction for
the so-called "quiet asphalt" pose one of the main measures to reduce noise at source.
By placing the asphalt with impurity of rubber can be achieved lower noise level of 3-8 dB
(A) or 50-80% compared with normal asphalt. This measure will contribute to reduce the
vibrations in the operative phase.
Also the use of stone matrix asphalt with (Stone-matrix asphalt SMA) is one of the
alternatives that contribute to building quiet asphalt.
Two layers asphalt can result in a reduction of the noise level by 3 to 4 dB (A) at a speed
of 50 km/h and 5.5 dBA at a speed of 100 km/h, compared with ordinary asphalt
12
.
To reduce the level of vibration in the construction phase are recommended the following
measures:
- Installing insulation of mechanical equipment for protection against vibration
- Limiting the hours of operation for certain pieces of equipment or operations on
sensitive locations;
- Avoiding traffic routes for transfer of materials in the vicinity of settlements.
7.5.2 Operative Phase
To reduce noise in the operative phase are recommended traffic control and adjustment
of road signs near the village Mrzenci to achieve constant speed and reduce the need for
braking or acceleration, will contribute to reducing the level of noise.
In the operative phase monitoring of the noise level is recommended in order to identify
the level of noise and in accordance with the results if necessary apply the additional
measures to protect the population from the village Mrzenci, as the closest recipient of
noise along the route. If necessary, the most appropriate measure for protection of
houses is replacement of existing windows and doors with new ones, for the nearest
object to the highway, which will provide sound insulation.
7.6 Mitigation measures for reduction of the impacts on biodiversity
7.6.1 Construction Phase
To reduce the impacts on biodiversity are recommended:
- Implementation of the measures for protection of the air, water, soil, waste
management and noise;
- Burning of the vegetation is not allowed, because of the protection of the habitats,
floral and animal species;
- Demolition and construction of the bridge to be made in the period when the river
Mrzenska is dried or has the smallest;
- Removing the shrubs and trees should be done in winter, out of the breeding
period of the birds.

78
Also is recommended to be implemented the Waste Management Plan, Management
Plan for hazardous substances and protection from leaks and Plan for Emergencies.
7.6.2 Operative Phase
The integrated approach for preservation of the vegetation along the carriage
recommended the following measures beside the fact that provided new activities for
extension of the rehabilitation carriage way would not have additional impacts on
biodiversity, flora and fauna:
- Preparation and implementation of the Management Plan for vegetation along the
route;
- Avoiding the use of herbicides that fall under or are listed below:
- World Health Organization Recommended Classification of Pesticides by
dangerous classes 1a and 1b.
- Annexes A and B of the Stockholm Convention, except under conditions listed in
the Convention
13
.
Only herbicides that are labelled in accordance with international standards and norms,
as the FAO Revised Guidelines on good practice for pesticides should be used.
7.7 Measures for mitigation of social impacts
Measures for mitigation the impacts in the social environment should include activities
that will be implemented in the construction phase:
- Developing a Plan for organization of the construction site;
- Developing a Traffic Management Plan during construction activities, available to
local communities and public
- Hiring a small percentage of local labour workforces for construction activities in
the project area.
- Renovation of the local roads that are damaged as a result of project activities
- Take appropriate measures to protect existing infrastructure (irrigation, water
supply, sewerage system) or applying compensation measures in case of possible
damage or accident.
- Implementation of Occupational Health and Safety Plan

7.8 Risk management (occurrence of a disaster, accident or emergency)
7.8.1 Construction Phase
Accidents and damages are unplanned events that may be caused by negligence, when
the control of activities is left out or during the natural disasters, which may result in
adverse impacts on human health and environment.
Accidents and damages that may occur as a result of construction activities may affect
the quality of surface waters, groundwater, soil and ambient air, biodiversity and the most
important health and safety of people.
The risk of accidents and damages can be caused by:
Environmental protection report from realization of the Project-extension with reconstruction of the existing carriageway,
right carriageway of the Motorway A1 (E75), Smokvica-Gevgelija, section Negorci-Gevgelija
80
During the construction activities and risk of injury to workers, especially during the
demolition of existing structures (bridges, fences, underpass etc.)
Increased frequency of transport vehicles on roads and divert traffic;
Increased dust emissions;
Transport of materials and the presence of materials on site that may be
explosive, flammable, corrosive, and infectious.
Improper handling and storage of materials and waste;
Possibility of intentional and unwanted leaks that can cause fires, pollution of
surface and ground water, soil, risk to human health and property and so on.
Possibility of erosion, especially during construction activities for reconstruction of
bridges;
construction works for which negligence or deficiency of data can cause damage
to material goods (this is especially considering existing water supply networks,
irrigation, sewerage network, pipeline);
To prevent these risks, before the start of construction activities, it is necessary to develop
appropriate plans and procedures as part of the technical documentation for the
realization of the activities, which will include a range of measures and activities to
prevent or reduce risks arising from this type of activity.
In the phase of preparation of Final Design of the project to be taken into consideration
the positions of the existing infrastructure systems to provide protection measures in order
to avoid any possible damage that can cause accidents.
Before the construction phase of the project the Contractor will be responsible to develop
and implement Management Plan for the site that will include:
Site Clearing Plan, marking, fencing, etc;
Plan for usage of the raw materials and defining locations that will be used as for
disposal, as well as locations for asphalt and concrete base;
Plan for organizing of labour and construction camps;
Plan for Traffic Management, which should include (location of access roads for
heavy vehicles and construction machinery, number and specification of
machinery, speed, etc.)
Fire Protection Plan;
Emergency Plan;
Plan for Health and Safety at Work.
Also as part of the technical documentation of the project Contractor need to
prepare:
Management Plan for soil, which will include appropriate measures to prevent
erosion;
Waste Management Plan;
Management Plan of hazardous materials and control of leakage.
Management Plan for soil should contain measures and techniques for managing the
erosion, before the start of the construction phase.
Environmental protection report from realization of the Project-extension with reconstruction of the existing carriageway,
right carriageway of the Motorway A1 (E75), Smokvica-Gevgelija, section Negorci-Gevgelija
81
Erosion Control Techniques includes:
Use of materials such as filter fences, sandbags, etc.;
Removal of soil, excavated sand to be used in the reconstruction of bridges;
Divert runoff from the site;
Control runoff through drainage and drainage stable setting;
Limit traffic on predefined routes;
Performing the construction works in periods of low monthly rainfall.
Among the other measures Management Plan for hazardous substances and leakage
control should include measures and procedures for management with contaminated
soil, which includes:
Identification of possible forms of contamination that may occur during the project
(use of asphalt, concrete, fuels, oils, etc.)
Procedures for proper storage of hazardous materials shall be in accordance with
relevant standards;
Prevention of contamination of soil during construction;
Identification, investigation and management with unforeseen contamination.
In order to prevent impacts from possible leaks are recommended:
Hazardous substances to be stored properly to minimize the risk of environmental
impact;
Storage of chemicals to be in accordance with Macedonian standards and MSDS
(Material Safety Data Sheets) requirements. MSDS requirements will be kept on
site and be available to employees and contractors;
Smaller quantities of chemicals, fuels and oils are stored in locked containers on
site;

This Environmental Management Plan (EMP) sets out the environmental impacts that
may arise by the implementation of the project activities, measures for avoiding or
mitigation the adverse impacts and clear commitments by the Client to manage these
issues. It is a written description of proposed measures to be implemented to help
achieve and maintain acceptable levels of the environmental impacts identified in the
Environmental Protection Report and a simple tool which can help the requirements of
relevant legislation and best environmental management practice to be met.
The purpose of EMP is to identify all potential adverse impacts to the environmental
media, arise by the implementation of the Project activities- extension with rehabilitation
of existing road, right carriageway of the motorway A1 (E75) Smokvica-Gevgelija,
section Negorci-Gevgelija and propose mitigation measures together with corrective
action if an undesirable impact or unforeseen level of impact occurs, as well as
monitoring on the implementation of the proposed measures.
The aims of the EMP are to:
- Provide practical and achievable plans for management of environmental and social
issues which will be in compliance with National and EU requirements;
- Produce an integrated planning framework, which provides comprehensive
monitoring and control of construction and operational possible adverse impacts;
- Provide commitment by the relevant authorities for future implementation of the
mitigation measures in line with the defined time schedule and proper monitoring on
the mentioned.
- Provide the community with relevant information for the stage of project management
in an environmentally acceptable manner.
The impacts and measures are elaborated in the construction and operation phase.
The construction phase covers preparation of the project site/area for construction
activities, as well.
Environmental and Social Monitoring plan aims to assess the level of project
implementation and effects of the implementation of environmental mitigation measures.

WATER AND SEWEGE
Construction phase
Disturbance of the water quality
will come from increased
concentration of suspended solids
and other pollutants that will be
generated from clearing of the
terrain and vegetation,
construction activities, handling
and disposal of construction
materials and waste near water
bodies, unwanted spills of fuels,
oils, concrete, asphalt or direct
discharge of water used for
washout of the equipment
(concrete mixer), improper
management of sanitary waste
water generated by workers, etc.
During the construction phase, it
may come to disruption of the
water quality in the river and storm
water from the project area as a
result of construction activities,
especially activities that will be
performed directly in the river bed
on the River Mrzenska.
Construction activities may change
the existing drainage network, as a
result of preventing or diverting
water flows during demolition and
construction of the planned
structures, bridge and underpass.
- Demolition and construction of the bridge on the river to be
realized in dry season, during low flow or when the river is
dried up;
- During construction activities which are carried out in the river
bed, to minimize the possibility of entering waste and
sediments (muddy water) in the water flow;
- The bridge to be designed and constructed in a manner that
will ensure minimal intervention and influence in the
waterbed;
- If during the excavation has stumble upon contact with
groundwater, such sites will be immediately closed to prevent
major changes in the groundwater level and water flow in the
area;
- Application of good practices and experiences during
designing to be avoid the occurrence of flooded areas,
upstream of the bridge and along the surface of the route, i.e.
to be made assessment whether the existing drainage
systems have sufficient capacity to accept new quantities of
storm water;
- Control of drainage system and manholes in order to avoid
possible floods or accidents during construction;
- Application of the asphalt and concrete to be done in dry
periods to prevent leakage of asphalt or concrete with their
washing;
- During performance of the construction works is
recommended covering of the drainage systems in order to
prevent them from clogging;
- Waste water produced in construction camps must not be
discharged into watercourses or channels near the project

Despite with the new predicted activities for extending and
rehabilitation of the route are not expect additional impacts on the
biodiversity, flora and fauna, than existing one, however the
integrated approach to managing vegetation along the route
recommended:

RISK MANAGEMENT (OCCURRENCE OF DISASTERS, ACCIDENTS OR EMERGENCIES)
Construction phase
The risk of accidents and damages
can be caused by:
- During the construction
activities and risk of injury
to workers, especially
during the demolition of
existing structures (bridges,
fences, underpass etc.)
- Increased frequency of
transport vehicles on roads
and divert traffic;
- Increased dust emissions;
- Transport of materials and
the presence of materials
on site that may be
explosive, flammable,
corrosive, and infectious.
- Improper handling and
storage of materials and
Before the construction phase of the project the Contractor will be
obliged to develop and implement Site Management Plan, that will
include:
- Site Clearing Plan, marking, fencing, etc.
- Plan for usage of the raw materials i.e. defining locations
that will be used as borrow pits and for disposal, as well
as locations for asphalt and concrete base;
- Plan for organizing of labor and construction camps;
- Traffic Management Plan ;
- Fire Protection Plan;
- Emergency and Response Plan;
- Plan for Health and Safety at Work;
- Soil Managment Plan, which will include appropriate
measures to prevent erosion;
- Waste Management Plan;
- Hazardous Materials Management Plan and Spill
Prevention.

- Possibility of intentional
and unwanted leaks that
can cause fires, pollution of
surface and ground water,
soil, risk to human health
and property and so on.
- Possibility of erosion,

construction activities for
reconstruction of bridges;
- Construction works for
which negligence or
deficiency of data can
cause damage to material
goods (this is especially
considering existing water
supply networks, irrigation,
sewerage network,
pipeline).
Operational phase
The reasons for risk of accidents,
damages, etc. during the
operational phase are nearly
identical to the reasons for risk
during construction phase.
Proper implementation of the documentation for management of:
- Waste Management Plan;
- Plan for management of the vegetation along the
motorway;
- Fire Protection Plan;
- Emergency and Response Plan.

9 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
The project envisages extension with reconstruction of the existing carriageway, right
carriageway of the motorway A1 (E75) Smokvica-Gevgelija, section Negorci-Gevgelija.
Accordingly, one more lane of the already existing five lanes Motorway will be constructed, in
order to get full motorway with six lanes in both directions (three lanes in direction).
With the construction of this section, the connectivity between Macedonia and Greece will be
greatly improved and finally, the completion of the motorway A1 (Pan European Corridor 10) in
the Republic of Macedonia will be enabled, on level of complete Motorway with 6 lanes, parallel
with finalizing of the project for construction of the section Demir Kapija-Smokvica. All of this will
contribute to improving of the economy, the economic development will be accelerated, safety
and, in general, the quality of the life of the people, not only in this part of the country, but also
wider.
The land on which the extension of the section is planned is state owned, which means that the
planned extension will not usurp fertile agricultural land, because the extension will be carried
out in the green area between the two carriageways, for which there is a projected space.
Based on the analysed activities was noted that project activities in the construction phase will
be a source of dust emissions, exhaust gases, volatile organic compounds, noise, vibration,
waste, etc.. These issues, if are not handled properly can cause negative effects on the media
and the conditions in the environment and the health and safety of people.
During the performance of the activities can occur accidents and damages which can cause
contamination of the environment and can also affect the safety and security of people and
material goods.
Based on the presence of sensitive receptors along the route as most affected would be village
Mrzenci, the motorway and local roads, river Mrzenska, local agricultural land, biodiversity and
recorded material goods.
Planned project activities related to expanding the rehabilitation of the original lane, right
carriage way of the motorway A1 (E75) Smokvica-Gevgelija, section Negorci-Gevgelija, in the
construction phase will cause negative, direct, cumulative effects that may occur immediately or
after certain period. Depending on the scope of action, the effects are assessed as local with
the opportunity for occurrence, and in terms of the duration from short-term to long-term. In
terms of intensity they are evaluated from low to high intensity.
In the operational phase will remain the same impacts on the environmental media and human
health which are present for decades, as a result of the design of the motorway and the
surrounding environment.
Construction of the new lane will reduce the green area that until now was used as area for
drainage of storm water and will increase waterproof area covered with the asphalt, which will
Environmental protection report from realization of the Project-extension with reconstruction of the existing carriageway, right
carriageway of the Motorway A1 (E75), Smokvica-Gevgelija, section Negorci-Gevgelija
121
contribute to increase the quantity of storm water that have to be drained from the road. If
drainage structures are not performed and maintained properly can lead to flooding or can
cause erosion.
The motorway is a source of increased noise level in the environment. Construction of the new
lane will mean increased noise levels that may occur during periods of peaks (when in the same
time on the three lanes will drive vehicles), but on the other side the reconstruction of the road
and the ability to reduce noise from the source, gives great possibility the existing noise levels
be reduced. Also the new lane in the future will be used for the rapid movement vehicles, so that
the lane that is closer to the settlements will be less loaded, that will increase the distance of 4-8
meters from the source that contributes to reducing the level of noise.
From the socio-economic aspect envisaged project activities in the operational phase will result
in traffic relief, increased safety during driving etc.
To mitigate the identified impacts, were proposed measures that should eliminate or mitigate
them. Measures at the same time may change some parts of the design / solutions.
Program for environmental management was prepared in order to harmonize the measures,
which will ensure that the proposed mitigation measures/mitigation are implemented.
Environmental Protection Report includes a Monitoring Plan for assessment the level of project
implementation and effects of the implementation of measures to mitigate the impacts.
Conclusion:
- Envisaged project activities related to extension with reconstruction of the existing
carriageway, right carriageway of the motorway A1 (E75) Smokvica-Gevgelija section
Negorci-Gevgelija in the construction phase will cause negative impacts that may occur
immediately or after certain period. Depending on the scope of action, the effects are
assessed as local with the opportunity for occurrence, and in terms of the duration from
short-term to long-term. In terms of intensity they are evaluated from low to high
intensity.
- In the operational phase of the motorway, the sources of emissions are the same as in
the previous operation of the motorway.
- To mitigate the identified impacts, are proposed measures that should eliminate or
mitigate them.
Recommendation:
- During the design phase and implementation of construction activities to be taken into
consideration existing networks for water supply, waste water collection and irrigation, as
well as pipeline and to take appropriate measures to protect them.
