AUTHORS’ SUMMARY The Environmental Impact Assessment Statement (EIAS) on the completion of construction works for Luda Yana Dam has been developed following the submission of the comprehensive Environmental Assessment ( ) of 2007 to the World Bank by the Ministry of regional development and public works (MRDPW). It is a part of the documentation for approval of the World Bank assistance requested by the Government of Bulgaria (GoB) for financing of activities meant for municipal infrastructure development through completion of the water supply dam Luda Yana. The EIAS has been developed to meet the Bank requirements as stated in the ToR and in compliance with the effective environmental legislation in the Republic of Bulgaria (RB). It comprises the following major elaborations and findings. Overview of the legislative and political system and organizational diagram referring to the environmental management Environmental protection is a country policy priority. Depending on the classification of infrastructure projects they can be either subject to a mandatory EIA or subject to an assessment of the need to have an EIA. Luda Yana dam, which has a total volume of 19,94.106 m3 is subject to a mandatory EIA (Appendix 1 to the Environmental Protection Act – EPA). The EIAS presents the normative documents of the RB that have to be complied with in the course of work, as well as those required by the Bank. The organizational diagram referring to the environmental management is also presented. Luda Yana Dam Project The construction of Luda Yana dam started in 1986 and the implementation continued throughout the years in compliance with the technical detailed designs (following the design stages effective in those years) until its suspension in 2000. The design has been developed in line with the effective regulations with regard to the security and safety of the dam wall and the facilities thereto. In 2007, based on a contract with Vodosnabditelen complex OOD, town of Panagurishte, a Comprehensive feasibility study for continuation and completion of construction works for Luda Yana dam - Panagurishte was prepared. This paper secures the implementation of some of the requirements stated in the EA of 2007 for evaluation of the existing situation and the performed construction, updating of hydrological information and the required additional developments for the site. Environmental Status The status of the environment has been evaluated based on inspection of the territory, field research, review of the available data at bodies with competencies in environmental management – the Regional Inspectorate of Environment and Water (RIEW)

Proceedings of the International Conference, 29-30 October 2008 Sofia, Publishing House “St. Ivan Rilski”, Sofia, 258-262. GEOARCHAEOLOGICAL MONUMENTS OF ANCIENT MINING IN SREDNA GORA MOUNTAIN Todor Nenov LK “Mladost” bl. 84A, 1797 Sofia ABSTRACT. In Sredna Gora Mountain are preserved thousand of monuments and traces of ore production from the Prehistoric period, the Antiquity period and the Medieval period. These are mine pits, quarries, shafts, underground passages, wastes and miners’ tools and facilities, which often have been interpreted one-sidedly in a historical (archaeological) aspect. Gold-bearing, copper gold-bearing, copper and iron ores have been exploited. The material traces of mining activity are represented by geoarchaeological monuments, which require complex approach and research methods. Introduction Information about the prehistoric and antique ore production The cult and economic character of a number of rock in Bulgaria, and more precisely, in the Srednogorie Region, phenomena can not be doubted. Such are ancient sacred and can be found in a number of publications (Skorpil, 1882; 1884; cult places, sacrificial sites and food storages, which are to be 1888; Karaoglanov, 1924; Radoslavov, 1934; Peev, 1975; found at many places around and in the natural heights of 1980; 1990; Georgiev, 1978; 1987; Cernykh, Raduncheva, Sredna Gora Mountain.

    ABBREVIATED LAND ACQUISITION PLAN FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONSTRUCTION OF LUDA YANA DAM, Public Disclosure Authorized PANAGYURISHTE MUNICIPALITY, BULGARIA 1. INTRODUCTION This Abbreviated Land Acquisition Plan (ALAP) has been prepared by the Ministry of Regional Development and Public Works (MRDPW) of the Republic of Bulgaria to outline the actions undertaken for the acquisition of land required for the construction of the Luda Public Disclosure Authorized Yana dam and its ancillary components (i.e. dam wall, reservoir, water tower, wastewater pipe, main outlet discharge, spillway, potable water treatment plant (PWTP), “sanitary zone”, etc), including the associated infrastructure – water supply pipelines and relocation of electrical lines in the Municipality of Panagyurishte, Pazardijk region. The completion of this project is part of the Municipal Infrastructure Development Project (MIDP), implemented by the MRDPW with a credit facility of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development. This ALAP has been drafted in conformity with the requirements of the applicable Bulgarian Public Disclosure Authorized laws and the requirements of the MDIP’s Land Acquisition Policy Framework (LAPF) dated March 2009, which is in line with the World Bank Operational Policy (ОP) 4.12 on Involuntary Resettlement. The LAPF includes an analysis of the applicable legal framework, valuation criteria, entitlement matrix, stakeholder engagement and grievance mechanism, among other details. This Land Acquisition Plan complements and builds on the findings of the Social Due Diligence (November 2007)1 which describes the historical land acquisition under the construction of Luda Yana dam which started prior to the World Bank involvement in the on- going Municipal Infrastructure Development Project (MIDP).

MAIN FEATURES IN GEOLOGY AND METALLOGENY… 50 years University of Mining and Geology “St. Ivan Rilski” Annual, vol. 46, part І, Geology and Geophysics, Sofia, 2003, рр.119-125 MAIN FEATURES IN GEOLOGY AND METALLOGENY OF THE PANAGYURISHTE ORE REGION Petko Popov (1), Strashimir Strashimirov (1), Kamen Popov (1), Rumen Petrunov (2), Milko Kanazirski (2), Dimitar Tzonev (3) (1) University of Mining and Geology “St. Ivan Rilski”, Sofia, 1700 (2) Institute of Geology, Bulgarian Academy of Science, Sofia, 1113 (3) Sofia university “St. Kl. Ochridski” Sofia, 1000 ABSTRACT The Panagyurishte ore district is located in the Central Sredna Gora and partly in the Stara Planina mountains. It is an element of the Upper Cretaceous Apyseni- Banat-Timok-Srednogorie Magmatic and Metallogenic Belt. Forming of this ore region is determined by the development of intensive Upper Cretaceous volcanic and magmatic activity. Magmatic rocks belong to two petrochemical series: calc-alkaline and subalkaline ones. Magma generation took place in enriched upper mantle with variegating participation of crustal component. It is established following well expressed volcano-intrusive complexes: Elatsite-Chelopech, Krassen-Petelovo, Vrankamik, Assarel-Medet, Svoboda-Ovchihulm, Elshitsa and Pesovetz. Magmatic activity is realised during Conniasian-Santonnian and the distinct migration from north to south is established. Ore fields include Elatsite-Chelopech, Krassen-Petelovo, Assarel-Medet, Radka and Elshitsa. Metallogenic specialisation of the region is determined by numerous Cu, Cu-Mo and Cu-Au porphyry deposits associating with high to intermediate sulphidation epi- to mesothermal massive sulphgide Cu-Au, Cu-Pyr-Au and Cu-Pyr deposits. Intermediate to low sulphidation Cu, Pb-Zn-(+ Au), Cu-Pb-Zn--(+ Au), Au и Ba deposits related to brittle faulting are developed in the marginal parts of the ore fields.
