1. PROJECT BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE 1. HISTORIKU DHE QELLIMI I PROJEKTIT Devoll Hydropower Sh.A. (“DHP”) on 19.12.2008 Devoll Hydropower Sh.A. (“DHP”) ne 19.12.2008 was awarded the right to develop hydropower ju dha e drejta e zhvillimit te projekteve te projects on Devoll river in Albania, through a hidrocentraleve mbi lumin Devoll ne Shqiperi, Concession Agreement signed with the permes Marreveshjes Koncesionare te firmosur Government of Albania. This Concession me Qeverine Shqiptare. Kjo Mareveshje Agreement, in force since 1stof April 2009, gives Koncesionare, ne fuqi qe prej 1 Prillit 2009, i jep DHP a Build, Own, Operate and Transfer (BOOT) DHP Koncesionin per Ndertim, Zoterim, Operim Concession for developing and utilising the dhe Transferim (BOOT) per zhvillimin dhe hydropower potential in Devoll river. shfrytezimin potencial te fuqise hidrike ne lumin Devoll. The Concession Area is located about 60-80 km southeast of Tirana. Zona e Koncesionit ndodhet rreth 60-80 km ne jug- juglindje te Tiranes. In the framework of this Concession, more specifically to the construction and operation of the Ne kuadrin e ketij koncesioni, vecanerisht te Banja Hydropower Plant, the existing Banja- ndertimit dhe shfrytezimit te Hidrocentralit te Gramsh Road will become either unsuable or Banjes, rruga ekzistuese Banje – Gramsh do te inundated. behet ose e paperdorshme ose do te jete nen uje. Based in the Concession Agreement, the Bazuar ne Marreveshjen Koncesionare, Qeveria Government of Albania has the obligation for the Shqiptare ka detyrimin per te ndertuar teresisht construction of the entire Replacement Infrastrukturen Zevendesuese qe do te jete nen Infrastructure that shall be inudanted or become uje ose qe do te behet e paperdorshme per shkak unusable because of the implementation of the te zbatimit te projektit te DHP. Pervec DHP project. Further to the Concession Marreveshjes se Koncesionit, permes nje Agreement, through an Agreement signed Marreveshjeje te firmosur midis Ministrise se between the Ministry of Energy and Industry, the Energjise dhe Industrise dhe Autoritetit Rrugor Albanian Road Authority and DHP, on 14.02.2014, Shqiptar dhe DHP, ne 14.02.2014, DHP do te DHP shall construct the Banja – Gramsh road and ndertoje rrugen Banje – Gramsh dhe Uren e Trashovice Bridge.

3. PROJECT DESCRIPTION 3. PERSHKRIMI I PROJEKTIT The existing main public road between Banja and Rruga kryesore publike ekzistuese midis Banjes Gramsh follows the North Shore of the Devoll dhe Gramshit pervijon Bregun Verior te Lumit River and is approximately 19 km long. Most of this Devoll dhe eshte rreth 19 km e gjate. Shumica e road will be inundated when the Banja dam is rruges do te permbytet kur te perfundoje diga e completed and a replacement road, including new Banjes, dhe per kete arsye nevojitet ndertimi i nje bridges, has to be constructed. The new shore line rruge zevendesuese perfshire ketu edhe ura. Vija of the reservoir at 175 m.a.s.l, will be long and will e re e bregut te rezervuarit ne kuoten 175 m mbi feature many deep inlets into steep valleys, which nivelin e detit do te jete e gjate dhe do te perbehet will create challenges with regards to stability of nga mjaft futje te thella ne luginat e thepisura, ku

Do te kete gjithashtu edhe ura te medha me gjatesi deri ne 350 m. Three main alignment alternatives for the Banja – Gramsh Replacement Road (A coastal shore, B Ishin tre alternativa kryesore per Rrugen hilly and C mountainous) and two alternatives for Zevendesuese Banje - Gramsh (A pergjate bregut, the Trashovice bridge(one lane and double lane) B kodrinore dhe C malore) dhe dy alternativa per were proposed to the Community during the Public uren e Trashovices (me nje dhe me dy karexhata) Hearing perfomed on 30.07.2014 in Gramsh. qe iu propozuan ne komunitetit gjate Degjeses Publike me 30.07.2014 ne Gramsh. The Public decision as well the Technical Council of ARA concluded on the coastal shore alternative Vendimi i Publikut si edhe Keshilli Teknik i ARRSH and Trashovice Bridge with two lanes. perzgjodhi alternativen e rruges pergjate bregut dhe Uren e Trashovices me dy karexhata. Based on these conclusions the Designer developed the Detailed Design of the road and Bazuar ne keto perfundime Projektuesi zhvilloi bridge with the following charachteristics. Projektin e Detajuar te rruges dhe ures me karakteristikat vijuese. The technical specific charachteristics of these objects are given as below: Karakteristikat specifike teknike te ketyre objekteve jane si me poshte: The length of the road shall be 15, 234 km.

4.1 COASTAL SHORE ROAD AND TRASHOVICE 4.1 RRUGA PERGJATE BREGUT DHE URA E BRIDGE TRASHOVICES The alignment, in the majority of the route follows the Gjurma, ne pjesen me te madhe te tij, ndjek pjesen e lower part of the Banja – Gramsh coastal shore of ulet te vijes se bregut Banje – Gramsh, qe ne te the future Banja Reservoir. It has a length of approx ardhmen do te perbeje Rezervuarin e Banjes. Ka nje 15.23 km and considers a driving time along this gjatesi rreth 15.23 km dhe konsiderohet qe koha e alignment of less than 19 min, considering that the udhetimit neper kete gjurme te jete ne me pak se 19 existing road with 16.75 km is covered in average for min, duke konsideruar qe ne rrugen ekzistuese prej approx 22 min. The driving time is calculated to be 16.75 km kryhet per rreth 22 min. Koha e udhetimit more stable, which means that less than 3% of perllogaritet te jete me e qendrueshme, qe do te thote driving time will be below the speed of 50 km/h, se vetem per me pak se 3% e kesaj kohe udhetimi instead of the actual of around 17% on the existing do te kryhet nen shpejtesine 50 km/h, nderkohe qe road. It can be considered that this alignment will be kjo e tanishmja rezulton ne rreth 17% te kohes.

This alignment is the most appropriate option for the local communities as a Replacement Road, as it Kjo gjurme eshte opsioni me i pershtatshem per increases the safety considerations while reducing komunitetet lokale si Rruge Zevendesuese, sepse rrit the driving time, resulting in a road which is better karakteristikat te sigurise dhe ne te njejten kohe than the existing one. redukton kohen e udhetimit, duke sjell enje rruge qe eshte me e mire se rruga ekzistuese. As regards the main negative impact that this alignment could have is the loss of a few agriculture Per sa i takon ndikimit kryesor negativ qe mund te parcels of land. The identification of affected kete kjo rruge, eshte humbja e disa parcelave te persons and activities in the early phase and tokes bujqesore.

STRATEGJIA E MASAVE ZBUTESE 5. MITIGATION STRATEGY Administrimi i Projektimit Mjedisor Environmental Design Management Nje pjese themelore e procesit te VNMS eshte A fundamental part of the ESIA process is the reagimi prej rezultateve te zhvilluara ne procesin e feedback of the emerging results into the design and projektimit dhe vendimarrjes. Menyra me me kosto decision-making processes. The most cost-effective efektive per aplikimin e masave zbutese eshte way of applying mitigation is by designing it into the permes projektimit te tyre ne projekt. Pasi efektet e project. As potential significant adverse effects are rendesishme potenciale te kunderta u identifikuan identified these were fed into the design process so ato u perfshine ne procesin e projektimit keshtu qe ku that, where possible, they can be mitigated until the eshte e mundur ato mund te zbuten deri sa efektet e residual effects are deemed to be “as low as mbetura te konsiderohen si “aq te ulta sa te jene reasonably practicable” (ALARP). The iterative praktikisht te arsyeshme” (ALARP). Vazhdimesia “predict-evaluate-mitigate” sequence is at the core perseritese “parashiko-vlereso-zbut”eshte zemra e of ESIA and design. This sequence is applied to the VNMS dhe projektimit. Kjo vazhdimesi aplikohet ne identification of positive opportunities (predict- identifikimin e mundesive pozitive (parashiko- evaluate-enhance). vlereso-realizo). The ALARP principle is most applicable in the Parimi ALARP eshte me i aplikuar ne kontekstin e context of addressing individual effects. Determining adresimit te efekteve individuale. Duke percaktuar se what is ‘reasonably practicable’ is something that the cfare eshte “praktikisht e arsyeshme” eshte dicka qe ESIA team cannot achieve in isolation. Factors such ekipi i VNMS nuk mund ta arrije i izoluar. Faktore sic as safety, technical feasibility, constructability and jane siguria, besueshmeria teknike, ndertueshmeria operability all feature in ALARP. The other key factor dhe shfrytezueshmeria te gjitha pasqyrohen ne is cost. In defining ALARP for an impact/mitigation ALARP. Faktori tjeter kyc eshte kostua. Ne measure, the proportionality of the cost to the benefit percaktimin e ALARP per nje mase must be given proper consideration. ndikuese/zbutese, proporcionaliteti i kostos ne perfitim duhet te jepet me konsideratat e duhura.
