1 Annual Report on the pre-construction biological diversity survey
1.1 Goal and rationale
This Report provides an overview of the main findings of surveys conducted on biological diversity within range area of the project for establishment of hydro power plant (HPP) Boshkov Most in preconstruction phase (preconstruction monitoring). The obligation to carry out the said surveys of biological diversity has been incorporated in the package of documents1) concerning environmental and social impact assessment (ESIA) of the proposed project, while taking into account the deficiency of relevant seasonal data on biological diversity in the concerned area, identified during the elaboration of the documents for ESIA.
The goal of the envisaged pre-construction biological diversity monitoring was to establish the ‘zero”, baseline or reference state of biological diversity in the area to be affected by the construction and operation of HPP Boshkov Most, including also the planned associated infrastructure. The establishment of the “zero” state is of essential relevance for the simple reason that only by way of its identification it will be possible to record and quantify possible real changes in biological diversity that might occur with the implementation of HPP Boshkov Most Project (construction and operation), as well as the significance and the nature of such changes in the context of their geographical scope, intensity/magnitude, duration and reversibility. For the purposes of the planning of survey process implementation and in line with the obligations incorporated in the package of documents for ESIA, Programme for Monitoring2) was prepared (2012). This Programme established appropriate methodology concerning the implementation of the planned activities and ensured optimum attention and adequate time of work for all groups of flora and fauna in a year-round cycle, in all seasons in which each of the target groups is active or available for work. Methodological approaches for each target group were based on proven scientific approaches / methodologies and globally recognized practices. The programme was presented and adopted at separate consultative meeting with stakeholders and non-governmental organizations held on 14 September 2012. Surveys were conducted in time horizon of a year-round cycle, i.e. four seasons – from summer 2012 to spring 2013, for the following target groups of flora and fauna: A. Hydrobiontes – species related exclusively to water environment: algae (diatoms as the most dominant and most representative), group of invertebrates (zoobenthos) and vertebrates (fish). B. Flora and most representative forest plant communities. C. Terrestrial invertebrates - butterflies (as the most dominant and most representative) and other insects D. Terrestrial vertebrates – amphibians and reptiles, birds, mammals (large and small size) and bats.

10 Pre-construction monitoring over the area of HPP Boshkov Most – Annual Report
Algological samples include benthos material, periphyton (cover) on natural and artificial grounds, materials of humid and submerged stones along river banks, materials of sludge (epipelon), as well as algological samples of humid (sprinkled with water) mosses, etc. Collected algological material was fixed in (glass, plastic) test-tubes with 3% formalin, upon which algological collection was formed. This collection created the basis for further laboratory processing according to slightly modified method of Hustedt (1930) and Stojanovski (1975, 1982, 1983). Namely, fixed algological materials (from all monitoring points) were combusted in laboratory glasses (in digester) with concentrated H2S04 upon which KМn04 was added to the material for a period of 15 minutes. Thus treated material is finally burnt with oxalic acid (C2H204.2H20) for extended 15 minutes, after which pure diatomean suspension remained in laboratory glasses and was decanted for 15 days with distilled water until the suspension was brought to neutral reaction (Ph-7). Out of such obtained suspension (composed of pure diatomean frustule – free of organic ingredients), permanent preparations were made (Diatomotecs), integrated in mounting medium Entallan, that enabled precise determination of silica algae and study of their diversity.
Considering the specific nature of the target group, specific laboratory equipment was used, as well as consumables and chemicals to enable adequate preparation of diatomean mountants: – glass and plastic test-tubes – formaldehyde – concentrated sulphuric acid H2S04 – Potassium permanganate – Hipermangan (KМn04) – Oxalic acid (C2H204.2H20) – Medium for preparation of permanent mountants, i.e. integration (Entallan).
1.2.1.2 Results and findings from the monitoring of hydrobiontes – silica algae
In order to establish microfloristic diatom diversity during the time period of survey, numerous native, glycerin and total of 153 durable preparations were produced (part from Diatomotecs in mounting medium Entallan). Those enabled establishment of grounds for identification of diversity of investigated algae.
Microscopic analysis of produced preparations initially showed that diversity of diatoms (silica algae) was very rich and great. Total of 108 taxa were identified, belonging to 28 orders classified into two classes (Table 1-1). It should be pointed out that the scope of these investigations also included analysis of the issue of saprobity of aquatic ecosystems in the area, on the basis of saprobic indicators.

From methodological point of view, qualitative and quantitative analyses were applied throughout the annual monitoring period. Qualitative samples were taken by different kinds of devices, while quantitative samples with Surber’s sampler. In this way, individual systematic groups were classified and the lowest systematic categories – species, were identified. Systematization of species was made by the nomenclature of Limnofauna Europaеа (1987).
Qualitative and quantitative overview of species for all surveyed monitoring points is presented in Tables below.

1.2.2.3 Additional measures to mitigate impacts
With regard to this group of species – zoobenthos fauna – no specific additional measures are required to reduce impacts apart from measures identified in the ESIA package, which are given in the Section 2 (Table 2-1).
1.2.3 Fish
1.2.3.1 Methodological approach
Surveys of fish fauna in the range area of HPP Boshkov Most Project were carried out at the identified relevant monitoring points, always above the entry of smaller into bigger watercourse, at the main watercourses in the watershed area – rivers Mala Reka, Tresonechka, Jadovska and Garska. Part of the surveyed sites is in the area where the future accumulation will be formed, and part above it. This approach will provide full insight in the current status of the fish fauna in the watershed area before the formation of the accumulation lake, i.e. establishment of the overall reference status in the wider area before the commencement of the project construction. The following activities were carried out: - Observation of living conditions for fish (hydrology, quantity and quality of water, types of bottom, objects present in water, disruption of conditions of the water, etc.). - Checkup fishing conducted with the aid of electric aggregate and auxiliary equipment, using the method ‘catch, register, release’. Portable electric aggregate for river fishing SAMUS 725 G, 500-900 V impulse direct current was used. Fishing was always performed in the range between 500 to 1000 meters above the entry of the tributary into bigger watercourse (e.g. above the entry of Tresonechka Reka into Mala Reka, etc.). Every checkup fish catch included two sections of 150 meters each (300 meters in total each) in length of flow for each watercourse: the first section of the part of the watercourse with uniform bottom ground, with approximately equal depth of all section, and the second section on part of the watercourse with uneven flow, i.e. with presence of puddles and flat parts. In this way, realistic picture of fish population was obtained, given the fact that trout species of fish live predominantly in puddles and hidden spots. The perimeter of field of anode activity, the submerging of which into water closes the current cycle when fish is astounded, amounted 3 meters. Astounded fish was collected immediately in a net fixed at circular anode and taken for analysis. In this regard, different parameters were recorded: fish species, their number, length and weight measures, mantles on lateral side, their distribution and shelters. Additionally, macroscopic examination of their health and condition was made (examination of gills, pressed out excrement, condition of skin, eyes, etc.).

In the course of the survey on Mala Reka during four yearly seasons, total of 632 fish was caught on both sections of examined sector along the watercourse. Fish are of the species Salmo farioides (Radika (Mavrovo) trout). All were well nourished, with healthy appearance, clearly red gills, clear and normally mucous body, clear eyes, fins complete and without signs of injuries or diseases. Bigger red dots were easily notable, while smaller black dots were harder to note. Fitness of fish was assessed as good, especially for bigger size specimens, meaning that they were well and regularly fed.
During summer field investigation on Mala Reka, in its lower sector, family of otters (Lutra lutra) was registered, which was indicator of the richness of this river basin in fish.

Survey of fish fauna in the watercourses in the range area of HPP Boshkov Most Project resulted in established current status of fish population in the rivers Mala Reka, Tresonechka, Jadovska and Garska. Low species diversity was recorded, represented by only two distinctive fish species, but with high number and good age structure. Investigated watercourses possess good hydrological and biological conditions for fish fauna life and growth, represented by different types of river bottom grounds (sandy, gravel, stony, rocky and combined), small and large to very large cascades and puddles suitable for fish staying and hiding, good conditions for hunting and availability of diverse natural fish food, abundance of good natural spawning grounds, as well as spots for small trouts stay and hiding upon spawning.
Fish fauna is composed of two species of trout fish, namely: Salmo farioides Karaman, 1937 (Mavrovo or radika trout), represented in the rivers Mala Reka, Tresonechka and Jadovska, and Salmo montenegrinus Karaman, 1933 (Garska trout), represented in Garska, after which it obtained its name. From among the first species, total of 1.732 fish was cought, and from among the second, total of 605 fish, or the total number of fish cought was 2.337 fish of both species. Other fish species were not registered, although it has been known that certain population of skobal migrates from the river Radika to its tributaries for spawning.
28 Pre-construction monitoring over the area of HPP Boshkov Most – Annual Report
Gender structure in all rivers includes juvenile specimens and adult fish, which in the period of spawning manifest clear gender dimorphism, becoming morphologically visible distinctive male, or female parents. They spawn during winter period and thus in the period after the spawning the waters of all four surveyed watercourses accommodate significant number of small trout fish of the latest spawning, while the already spawned parental fish withdraw to lower courses or partially die out of exhaustion or as victims of predators.
Living conditions for fish in all four watercourses are very good, confirmed by their amounts and condition. From among prominent fish predators, otters were registered during summer season, on Mala Reka in its lower course.
1.2.3.3 Additional measures to mitigate impacts
Expected changes in hydrological regime of the affected river watershed to be caused by the activities planned to establish HPP Boshkov Most will result in disruption of natural living conditions of fish fauna in affected watercourses. Consequently, fish fauna is the most vulnerable group in relation to the implementation of the proposed project. The following significant impacts on fish fauna and appropriate measures for their mitigation are of particular importance:
Effect of barrier (i) The planned dam, on the junction between rivers Tresonechka and Jadovska will cause effect of barrier, i.e. interruption of the natural way of fish migration during the operational phase of the project in downstream sector of Mala Reka towards the said watercourses. The effect of this situation is causing isolation of fish populations upstream and downstream and disruption of genetic diversity. In this context, investigations carried out during the four seasons reaffirmed the need for applying a process of fish stocking, identified in the package of ESIA documents5), as mitigation measure for impacts on fish fauna resulting from the project implementation. This measure would include adequate planning through preparation of programme and analysis of alternative options towards selection of optimal solution for establishment of fish stocking system. Alternative option to fish stocking measure could be designing measure for construction of fish path within the wider composition of the dam that would enable uninterrupted natural migration of fish. Feasibility of this technical measure would be subject to technical and financial analysis and appropriate technical design in the context of specifying the type of the path and its parameters (dimensions, speed of water flow, etc.). (ii) The planned intakes on the watercourses in the watershed area of HPP Boshkov Most project range have in principle the same effect of barrier, i.e. interruption of natural path of fish migration during the operational phase of the project in affected watercourses downstream of the dam. In this context, in order to eliminate any probable impact on fish fauna that could result in reduced possibility for migration and consequently separation of fish populations and reduction of their vitality and numbers, it is recommended to design and establish fish path at all intakes planned on watercourses, as additional technical designing measure. Practical application of this designing measure in the frames of construction phase, will contribute to reduce potential negative impact on fish stock during the operational phase of HPP Boshkov Most project. Fish paths are easily applicable on intakes on watercourses, primarily due to (i) relatively simple engineering technology required for their construction, (ii) use of natural materials, and (iii) availability of manuals for their construction, operation and maintenance (Therrien & Bourgeois 2000). Paths should be adequately designed, in order to avoid turbulence of water, shock and injury of fish. Operational parameters of fish path concerning water flow, zones of turbulence, opposite flows, tangential flow, etc., have great impact on path efficiency. In order to enable possible corrections and adaptations and get data on fish paths efficiency, it is essential importance to carry out control and monitoring over their operation. Continuous monitoring of fish path efficiency will be established as an integral part of the project HPP Boshkov in the frames of the planned operational monitoring through use of generally recognized methods in the domain of the best international practice.

29 Pre-construction monitoring over the area of HPP Boshkov Most – Annual Report
Reduced-flow effect Other likely impact on the fish fauna from the proposed dam and intakes will be caused by the reduction of the quantity of water in the affected watercourses, i.e. the effect of reduced flow. Such reduction of the water quantity and the flow velocity will cause increased temperature of the water, as well as reduction in the quantity of dissolved oxygen and ultimately change in chemical composition (content of nitrogen and phosphorous compounds). These new environmental conditions may have direct impact on the vitality and abundance of the populations of fish fauna and other hydrobionts. The biological minimum as the lowest quantity of surface water has to be secured throughout the year, except in cases in which the natural flow rate is lower than the prescribed biological minimum. This would enable preservation of the natural balance of aquatic habitats and properties of the affected watercourses and would not significantly reduce the status of ecological parameters of the surface water. This specific mitigation measure throughout the project’s operational stage has been identified and adopted as part of the ESIA documents6). An overview of these measures is given in the Section 2 (Table 2-1).

1.3 Survey of forest vegetation and flora
1.3.1 Methodological approach
Vegetation surveys in the preconstruction phase in the range area of HPP Boshkov Most project were carried out by classical vegetation (phytocenological) methods by which vegetation releves were made based on Braun-Blanquet (1964) methodology.
Points at which vegetation surveys were conducted were selected at localities downstream of the proposed intakes at all affected watercourses and in the wider area of planned construction activities and activities related to project development. For the purposes of the surveys, the optimum vegetation composition of communities that were subject of monitoring was determined and this will serve as basis for further observation of changes to be caused by future activities, both in construction and operational phases of the project. In this context, all plant taxa in surveyed stands were recorded and quantitative characteristics were established for each of them (number and coverage). Particular attention was devoted to the relict community of wild (Horse) chestnut, by selection of representative stands along Garska and river Dzvonchica, where vegetation releves were made as basis for further monitoring.
In parallel with vegetation surveys through establishment of floristic composition of vegetation releves, significant floristic data was obtained as well and this was taken into account in flora valorization of investigated area. This data created reference grounds for future monitoring of the state during construction and operational phases of the project.
During vegetation and floristic surveys, documentation herbarium material was collected, including from more complex floristic species, which was then determined according to special, global and regional floristic works and various monographs - Flora Europaea I-V (Tutin et al., 1964-1993), Euro+Med Plant Base (2011), Flora of the Republic of Macedonia 1 (1-6) (Micevski, 1985-2005), Flora of the Republic of Macedonia 2 (1) (Matevski, 2010).
1.3.2 Results and findings of annual forest vegetation survey
Phytocenological releves were made of six target forest communities and one grass meadow community. Three of the investigated forest plant communities were riparian and grew along watercourses themselves, while the other three forest communities grew in the wider area of the project range, but not directly connected to watercourses. Table below shows the overview of target plant communities subject to survey during pre-construction phase of the project.

Monitoring points have been positioned in the vicinity of villages Tresonche and Rosoki, along Tresonechka Reka.
In the area of conducted vegetation and floristic investigations, meadow communities have been preserved along rivers Tresonechka Reka and Mala Reka. These semi-natural communities in this part of the Balkan Peninsula, maintained by mowing, are not covered by various international directives and conventions. Yet, they are regarded very important, both in phytocenological terms and in terms of communities significant for biomass production, which is necessary for livestock breeding. This vegetation type was especially investigated in the previous period, in the frames of the project aimed at developing the Management Plan for NP Mavrovo and its results have been used for comparison in the course of investigations conducted for the purposes of HPP Boshkov Most Project.

1.3.3 Results and findings of annual flora survey
In the course of the surveys in project pre-construction phase, detailed overview of registered plant species (by family) in the range area of HPP Boshkov Most project was made (Appendix 3). This overview, apart from data obtained during conducted vegetation and floristic investigations in the context of HPP Boshkov Most project, includes relevant data from the Study on revalorization of natural values of NP Mavrovo (2009) as well.
While establishing the list of important plant species in the range area of HPP Boshkov Most project, species that will require particular attention during both construction phase and operation phase of the project included populations of important plant species enrolled in the lists of IUCN - Global Red List, Bern Convention, CORINE endemic, subendemic and rare species.
At the same time, the fact that part of the surveyed area belongs to two Important Plant Areas (IPA) in Macedonia – IPA Bistra and IPA Stogovo was taken into account. In this context, particular attention was devoted to species under appropriate classification criteria for identification of IPAs: - А (i) – globally affected species - A (ii) – regionally affected species - А (iii) – national endemic species with defined status of threat, and - А (iv) – subendemic species with certain status of threat.
During surveys, populations of the following species were registered: One globally affected species - Melampyrum heracleoticum, included in IUCN Global Red List (Walter & Gillett 1997), as well as in the list of species under criterion А (iv) concerning qualification for identification as IPA. Relict species Aesculus hippocastanum. The most beautiful populations occur on the mountain Bistra (locality Lopushnik-Suvi Dol). It also occurs in fragmented state along rivers Garska and Crn Drim and mountain Galichica. (Sub)endemic species: Galium macedonicum (besides in NP Mavrovo, present in other parts of Macedonia as well (in Mariovo and in southern part of Macedonia), as well as in Northern Greece), Cirsium apendiculatum (besides in NP Mavrovo, present in other parts of Macedonia as well (on the mountains Shar Planina, Bistra, Jablanica, Pelister, Nidze), as well as in Northern Greece and Kosovo). Rare plant species: Salix elaeagnos subsp. elaeagnos, Fraxinus excelsior, Carpinus betulus, Pyrola minor, Hypericum hirsutum, Geranium reflexum, Listera ovate (all distributed through other parts of the territory of Macedonia).
Based on the above, during the surveys conducted in the range area of HPP Boshkov Most project, no floristic species under the appropriate criteria for qualification for identification as IPA were registered: А (i) – globally affected species, A (ii) – regionally affected species and А (iii) – national endemic species with defined status of threat. One species (Melampyrum heracleoticum) was registered to comply with the criterion for qualification for as IPA: А (iv) – subendemic species with certain status of threat.
Summarized findings of conducted surveys of important plant species during four seasons of the year are presented here under.

1.3.4 Additional measures to mitigate impacts
With reference to target plant communities and populations of important floristic species in the range area of HPP Boshkov Most projects, the following specific additional measures are recommended to mitigate impacts, apart from measures identified in the ESIA package: (i) Localities of identified relict riparian forest community - аss. Aesculo hippocastani-Ostryetum should be excluded to the maximum extent possible from the scope of construction works or activities serving the purposes of project development (access roads, construction camps, zones for mechanization, etc.). This community grows in fragmented condition at several localities along rivers Garska, Mala Reka and Dzvonchica. In the course of the preparatory phase and before the commencement of the project construction, consultation shall be provided with qualified expert for the purpose of more precise determination of zones with the said community where limitation of construction activities will be set. During the
45 Pre-construction monitoring over the area of HPP Boshkov Most – Annual Report
operational phase of the project, it is necessary to establish full control over the application and adherence to the set minimum water flow in Garska. (ii) In localities where plant communities (habitat types) included in EU Habitat Directive have been identified, as well as localities where globally important and rare floristic species have been identified, it is necessary to establish regime of control over construction activities or activities serving the purposes of project development (access roads, construction camps, zones for mechanization, etc.), in order to ensure high level of their conservation. In the course of the preparatory phase and before the commencement of the project construction, consultation shall be provided with qualified expert for the purpose of more precise determination of zones in which control over construction activities will need to be established.

1.5 Survey of terrestrial vertebrates
1.5.1 Amphibians and reptiles
1.5.1.1 Methodological approach
While implementing surveys of amphibians and reptiles in the range area of HPP Boshkov Most project, the standard method for herpetofauna inventory and monitoring was used, i.e. the method of Amphibian and Reptile Visual Encounter Surveys or ARVES, by Crump and Scott (1994) and Heyer et al., (1994).
Assessments (measurements) made by application of this method have significant advantages as well: (1) they have low impact on natural habitats compared to other standard methods the application of which requires holes digging in the soil (pitfall traps) or clearing of forest cover (covered shelters); (2) they do not pose practical threat to the survival of individuals to be surveyed; and (3) assessments (measurements) made on the basis of this method are effective under different environments, including terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Consequently, ARVES is the basic method for amphibians and reptiles assessment when establishing monitoring programme.
The monitoring protocol (inventory form) includes the following data: name of primary sampling unit (sampling area), GPS coordinates at start and end position of sampling area and altitudes, type of monitoring (day/night), date and year of monitoring, time of monitoring start and time of monitoring completion, temperature of air and temperature of water, weather conditions by weather code and wind velocity according to Beaufort’s scale, method of field measurement (monitoring), habitat type and type of sampling area ground, sources of disturbance and pollution, data on observers, species of amphibian or reptile encountered, number of individuals, age i.e. life stage of individual (adult, sub- adult, juvenile), ground/environment where the individual is encountered (in water, on land, rocky ground, under rotten trunk), type of individual registration (visual, by sound, sign/trace, dead specimen, collected specimen) and separate line in which comments from conducted monitoring are entered.
Primary sampling units (sampling areas) In order to cover entire areas downstream of water intakes, i.e. critical sites within the project area, 4 sampling units (sampling areas) were established for monitoring, each of 25 meters width and 400 meters length, or every primary sampling unit had an area of 1 ha, as well as one reference sampling unit (sampling area) along Lazaropolska Reka, situated far above water intakes. Regular (seasonal) monitoring was carried out in all these five sampling areas in order to determine the status of the populations of different species of amphibians and reptiles. In addition to this, the entire territory of the watershed area of Mala Reka was subjected to inventory taking of species, in order to establish qualitative composition of herpetofauna in the whole project area.
i. Primary sampling units (sampling areas) in the area of the future accumulation, between villages Selce and Tresonche
For the purpose of more detailed study of herpetofauna existing on the terrains of the future accumulation, two sampling areas were established in a shape of linear transects one along Jadovska Reka and the second along Tresonechka Reka.
55 Pre-construction monitoring over the area of HPP Boshkov Most – Annual Report
Figure 1-6: Linear transects for amphibians and reptiles monitoring along rivers Jadovska and Tresonechka
Both sampling areas start at the juncture of the rivers Jadovska and Tresonechka and they extend along rivers, each of surface area of 1 ha. Start position of the sampling area along Jadovska Reka starts at the juncture of the two rivers (Jadovska and Tresonechka) at the points with coordinates: N 41.56548; E 20.71317 at an altitude of 966 m, while end position is at the point with coordinates: N 41.56810; E 20.71449, at an altitude of 984 m. The second sampling area is in a shape of linear transect extending along Tresonechka Reka, it has the same start position with the previous one N 41.56548; E 20.71317 at an altitude of 966 m and ends at the point with the following coordinates: N 41.56481; E 20.71684, at an altitude of 975 m. Both sampling areas include parts of riparian, meadow and forest plant communities.
ii. Primary sampling unit (sampling area) along Rosochka Reka after entry of Jadovska and Tresonechka Reka
The primary sampling unit (sampling area) along Rosochka Reka is in a form of linear transect with an area of 1 ha. It starts (start position) at the point with coordinates: N 41.54618; E 20.68303 and altitude of 863 meters, and ends at position: N 41.54894; E 20.68574 and altitude of 904 meters.

iii. Primary sampling unit (sampling area) along Garska Reka after entry of Lazaropolska Reka
The primary sampling unit (sampling area) along Garska is in a form of linear transect with an area of 1 ha. It starts (start position) at the point with coordinates: N 41.51915; E 020.67916 and altitude of 910 meters, and ends at position: N 41.51669; E 020.68316 and altitude of 964 meters.
Figure 1-8: Linear transect for amphibians and reptiles monitoring along river Garska
iv. Reference sampling unit (reference sampling area) on Lazaropolska Reka
In the frames of herpetofauna monitoring, one reference sampling unit (sampling area in a form of linear transect) was established, positioned along Lazaropolska Reka, far away above water intakes of the proposed project for construction of HPP Boshkov Most. This reference sampling unit is also in a form of linear transect with an area of 1 ha. It starts (starting position) at the point with coordinates: N 41.53941; E 020.71374 and altitude of 1.302 meters, and ends at position: N 41. 53872; E 020.71711 and altitude of 1.316 meters. At this linear transect, monitoring of herpetofauna was
57 Pre-construction monitoring over the area of HPP Boshkov Most – Annual Report conducted by the same methodology, as in other sampling areas. Data from the reference sampling area will be used for comparative analysis during later operational phase of HPP Boshkov Most.
Figure 1-9: Linear transect for amphibians and reptiles monitoring along river Lazaropolska, above village Lazaropole
Monitoring of amphibians and reptiles at the reference sampling unit Lazaropolska Reka was conducted by ARVES method, over linear transect along the river itself. The monitoring was carried out in the very aquatic environment (river), as well as along both banks grown over with riparian vegetation in a width of 10 meters each. Daily monitoring was performed in the period between 10:00 o’clock in the morning and 18:00 o’clock in the afternoon, peak period during the day when amphibians and reptiles are most active and easy to see. Night monitoring was used as secondary method of the monitoring for the purpose of more complete registration of the number status of populations of individual species.
Considering the fact that the reference sampling area is outside of the water intakes, changes with herpetofauna caused by the implementation of HPP Boshkov Most project are not expected there. However, if changes in herpetofauna occur in the project area, caused by other factors, then data from the reference sampling area will be used as basis for comparative analyses, i.e. to determine to what extent the changes are caused by the project relative to changes caused by other factors.
v. The whole project area
For the purpose of registration of herpetofauna representatives on the whole project area of HPP Boshkov Most (watershed area of Mala Reka), apart from the results obtained from the monitoring in individual sampling areas and reference sampling area by ARVES method, additional field surveys were carried out within the whole project area, using other secondary methods of search, depending on conditions of the terrain.
Comparative analyses of the qualitative and quantitative composition of herpetofauna from the whole project area generated during the phase prior to the construction with the results to be obtained during the phase of construction and phase of operation will enable to establish overall changes in herpetofauna caused by the project for establishment of HPP Boshkov Most.

In the frames of the monitoring activities concerning herpetofauna in the range area of HPP Boshkov Most project during the pre-construction phase, total of 278 individuals was registered, of which 8 species of amphibians and 7 species of reptiles.
Among the total number of 278 registered amphibians and reptiles, 77 individuals were salamanders, 178 individuals were frogs, 19 individuals were lizards and 4 individuals were snakes.
The results from the seasonal monitoring, presented in the three separate tables, show evident trends of seasonal activities. Thus, the frequency of species is the most intensively manifested during spring period, when presence of 13 species was registered, followed by summer period with 9 species and autumn period with 6 species.
On the other side, abundance is manifested the most during summer period, with total of 149 registered individuals. This situation of higher values during summer period relative to spring period is explained by high altitude of sampling areas (860-984 m), and especially reference sampling unit, which is located at an altitude of more than 1.300 meters. Under such conditions, larvae phase of
60 Pre-construction monitoring over the area of HPP Boshkov Most – Annual Report amphibians has postponed dynamics, with metamorphosis prolonged up to as late as August. For these reasons, the abundance is the greatest during summer period, instead during spring, which is common with ravine populations.
The most important biological indicator of amphibians for this type of natural habitats, Balkan stream frog (Rana graeca), manifested exceptionally low coefficient of population density in all four primary sampling units, ranging from 0.00 individuals/ha in the primary sampling unit Tresonechka Reka; 0.33 individuals/ha in the primary sampling unit Jadovska Reka; 0.66 individuals/ha in the primary sampling unit Garska, to 2.00 individuals/ha in the primary sampling unit Rosochka Reka. On the other side, in the reference sampling unit Lazaropolska Reka, density of population of this species is 50.66 individuals/ha.

Valorization of herpetofauna according to the degree of legal protection has been made in accordance with EU Habitat Directive (Directive 92/43/EEC), while according to the extent of threat – by IUCN Red List of Species under Threat at Global Level (2013), as well as IUCN European Red List of Amphibians under Threat (2009) and IUCN European Red List of Reptiles under Threat (2009).
61 Pre-construction monitoring over the area of HPP Boshkov Most – Annual Report
EU Habitat Directive (Directive 92/43/EEC) provides for strict legal protection (Annex IV) for total of nine species, of which four (4) species of amphibians and five (5) species of reptiles. We should underline that the species Yellow-belied Toad (Bombina variegata) and Sand Lizard (Lacerta agilis) were registered beyond the narrow project area, i.e. species Bombina variegatа in the reference sampling unit and spring areas of the rivers Jadovska, Tresonechka, Lazaropolska and Garska, while the species Lacerta agilis in alpine zone, above the forest zone of the mountain Bistra. The species Bombina variegatа е is included in the list of Annex II of the Habitat Directive, which means that the species is of interest to EU and it requires definition of specific areas for conservation.
IUCN Red List of Species under Threat at Global Level (2013) does not include any species of amphibians and reptiles registered in the area of HPP Boshkov Most in one of the three IUCN categories: CR (Critically Endangered), EN (Endangered) or VU (Vulnerable), considered as species under threat. On the contrary, all so far registered species of amphibians and reptiles belong to the category of LC (Least Concern) species. The same accounts for IUCN European Red List of Amphibians under Threat and IUCN European Red List of Reptiles under Threat.
1.5.1.3 Additional measures to mitigate impacts
The results of the monitoring activities over herpetofauna in the range area of HPP Boshkov Most during the pre-construction phase indicate relatively low frequency of species and abundance of populations. This conclusion is clearly confirmed upon comparative analysis made between herpetofauna registered in primary sampling units located along rivers at which water intakes are planned and reference sampling unit. This reflects the fact that no significant migratory corridors have been registered in the narrow project area for herpetofauna species, considering the fact that the amounts of populations of species closely related to aquatic environment are obviously low.
Based on the above, during the phase of the project construction, no significant negative impacts are expected on structure and density of populations of individual herpetofauna species, due to the fact that frequency of species and density of their populations are manifestly low. Furthermore, investigations conducted so far on herpetofauna have indicated the fact that the planned project activities within the narrow project area, including existing and projected road infrastructure, as well as other construction undertakings and line facilities, do not affect directly the already established migratory corridors of the wider project area.
Consequently, the results of the monitoring of herpetofauna in the range area of HPP Boshkov Most with regard to this group of species indicate that there is no need for specific additional measures to mitigate impacts relative to measures identified in the ESIA package, which are given in the Section 2 (Table 2-1).

1.5.3 Mammals
1.5.3.1 Methodological approach
Mammals are heterogeneous group of vertebrates which incorporates animals of various size (from shrew with a mass of only 10 grams to bear with a mass of over 200 kilograms), adaptive forms, preference for habitats and ecological and behavioural characteristics. As a result of this heterogeneity, we needed different methodological approaches and techniques for information gathering, necessary to define fauna lists of mammals in the area of HPP Boshkov Most project. For the purposes of inventory taking of mammals in the course of four seasons, the following field methods were used: 1. Direct hunting by use of traps, namely: snap trap, Longworth and pit fall traps, which were placed along selected linear transects. In this way, data on small size mammals was collected (Insectivora and Rodentia). 2. By aid of camera traps placed along paths and passages (Artiodactyla – ungulate mammals and Carnivora - beasts). 3. Recording indirect indicators of mammals presence (traces, excrement, traces of food, etc.) along selected transects (Artiodactyla – ungulate mammals and Carnivora - beasts). 4. Identification of fibres in feces (wolf, fox, marten, badger) collected in the surveyed area. 5. Collection of individuals killed in traffic. 6. Oral polling of the local population and staff of the National Park Mavrovo. 7. Checking of trophies, photographs and osteological remains found during field activities. 8. Visual encountering.
All activities aimed at inventory taking of mammals were organized in a way to enable full coverage of all seasons (summer, autumn, winter and spring). In spatial context, the coverage of inventory assumed the following spatial elements: (i) area where construction of dam and formation of accumulation is planned, (ii) upstream of it (rivers Tresonechka and Jadovska) and (iii) downstream along the course of Mala Reka and its tributaries. With reference to all individuals encountered, coordinates were recorded by manual GPS devices, as well as time and habitat. In this way, database with georeference data was established with a possibility to use it in future surveys and monitoring of conditions. Most of the findings were photographed additionally, thus forming a database and rich photo-documentation of inventorized fauna of mammals in the surveyed area.

69 Pre-construction monitoring over the area of HPP Boshkov Most – Annual Report
In the course of the surveys, total of 30 species of mammals was encountered, among which 24 or 80% during summer period, 21 or 70 % during autumn, 13 or 43.3% during winter and 26 or 86.6 % of the total number during spring period. Presence in all four seasons of the year was confirmed for 11 species (36.7 %), in three and two seasons for 7 species (23.3 %), and 5 (16.7 %) species were registered in only one season. These differences are due primarily to different bionomy of species with regard to the size of areal ranges of activities in different period of the year cycle, as well as declined activities or total and atypical hibernation affecting some of the species in certain periods of the year. Out of the total number, according to IUCN categorization, 27 have LC (Least Concern) status, one species (mole rat) has DD (Data Deficient) status (to determine the status of threat) and one species (otter) is with NT (Near Threatened) status.

With regard to seasonal representation, total of 11 species in this group were registered in all four or three seasons of the year.
1.5.3.3 Additional measures to mitigate impacts
Surveys conducted in the course of the four seasons of the year enabled precise establishment of the reference state in the area of HPP Boshkov Most project with regard to mammalian fauna. Data collected on local populations of mammals provide good basis for further observation of possible impacts in the next project phases: phase of construction and phase of project operation, in already defined localities with application of the same methodology and offer the possibility to undertake adequate measures to mitigate such impacts.
With regard to mammalian fauna, there is no need for additional specific measures to reduce impacts apart from measures identified in the ESIA package, which are given in the Section 2 (Table 2-1).
IUCN Red List of Species under Threat at Global Level (2013) does not include any species of mammals registered in the area of HPP Boshkov Most in one of the three IUCN categories: CR (Critically Endangered), EN (Endangered) or VU (Vulnerable), considered as species under threat. All registered species are categorized as LC (Least Concerned) species. An exception is the otter which belongs to the category of NT (Near Threatened) species. According to the Habitat Directive, five species are listed in the Directive’s Annex II and these are the lynx, bear, wolf, chamois and otter.
Main findings in relation to the above species of conservation interest are given in the following text.
Lynx
In the course of the implementation of annual surveys in the project area and analysis of generated data, particular attention was devoted to Lynx, subspecies Balkan lynx (Lynx lynx martinoi Mirik, 1978), found on the territory of NP Mavrovo, in the wider range area of HPP Boshkov Most project. It is species of particular conservation interest in the Republic of Macedonia. Population of Balkan lynx inhabits southwestern part of Balkan Peninsula, with areal range, with no interruption, on a large geographical area on the territories of several Balkan countries, including the mountains in western Macedonia, southwestern Kosovo, southeastern Montenegro, eastern Albania and northwestern Greece. Within this geographical area, Balkan lynx populates the mountains Koritnik, Shar Planina, Suva Gora, Korab, Deshat, Bistra, Stogovo, Karaorman, Galichica, Ilinska and Plakenska, Bigla, Baba and other mountains. It has been estimated that its number status in the whole areal range (home area) is around 100 individuals.
Lynx is exclusively carnivore animal fed by mammals and birds. Within the project area, the main prey of the lynx is chamois, as well as roe deer, hare and fox. The main living activities of the lynx take place in early morning, before sunrise and early evening, after sunset.
Lynx breed during winter season of the year, in the period from January to March. Home range of females overlap, and one male mates with several females. Young lynx are born two months later, i.e. between March and May. Female lynx alone nurse and protect their offsprings and lead sheltered life during that period. Young lynx take part in prey hunting for nutrition and this is at the same time their training in hunting.
In the area of HPP Boshkov Most project, lynx is located mainly east of the village Tresonche, in the locality Dajdovec, on the left side of the river Tresonechka. Male lynx have significantly larger home range than females and they have been seen in different spots of the area – on the road Selce- Galichnik along the river Jadovska, etc.
Thanks to easy accessibility and abundance of food during summer and autumn months, lynx moves and feeds mostly in upper parts of Jadovska and Tresonechka river watersheds, upstream of the planned dam, beyond the area directly affected by the project development where the most intensive
71 Pre-construction monitoring over the area of HPP Boshkov Most – Annual Report activities are expected during construction phase and consequently potential disturbance of game. Excellent conditions for lynx nutrition in the said area are due to the fact that it is part of NP Mavrovo, where game hunting is prohibited and thus food availability – quantity of prey (chamois, roe deer and hare) is satisfactory in full, especially in the uppermost parts of the watershed of the two rivers, in rocky localities Mal Brzovec and Golem Brzovec.
During winter season, in case of high snow cover, the main prey of the lynx, chamois, in search for food, moves down to the boundary of the forest or in the very forest areas, which implies that the lynx also visits the same localities. Cases of chamois, and lynx accordingly, moving down to immediate proximity of populated places, are rare. It should be pointed out that construction activities for the purposes of the HPP Boshkov Most facilities development will not be carried out during winter season, due to subalpine climate characteristics and sharp winter conditions in the wider project area. Thus, there is no probability for lynx disturbance during winter period, even in case of its movement within the range area of the project.
In the context of direct loss of terrestrial habitats resulting from implemented project of HPP Boshkov Most and their transformation into lake with an area of around 22 hectares (0.22 km2), while taking into account that the Lynx is manifestly territorial species whose areal of living activities on annual level covers territory of approximate area of around 150 – 200 km2, as well as available knowledge of its seasonal and spatial distribution (Micevski7) 1998; Hristovski, M8). 2001; Stojanov et al.9), 2009; Melovski, et al.10), 2010; Maletikj11), 2012; et al.), a conclusion may be drawn that the impact on the survival of this species from the proposed project for establishment of HPP Boshkov Most is of minor significance. Additional arguments in recognition of this conclusion include uninterrupted continuity of the species areal, availability of prey on the whole territory of NP Mavrovo and wider, as well as the fact that the range of the project HPP Boshkov Most affects the lower courses of the rivers Tresonechka and Jadovska and downstream areas of the watershed of Mala Reka in the extreme southern border peripheral zone of NP Mavrovo. These areas are not pristine part of nature and lynx usually avoids them because of disturbance and existing anthropogenic impact and land use (settlements Selce and Tresonche, noise and traffic on local road network), as well as due to existing habitats fragmentation (roads, long distance power lines), existing also in this phase prior to project implementation.
In addition to the above, it should be pointed out that fragmentation of habitats will be of limited geographical range (local, in immediate surroundings of the project area) and has no potential to cause irreversible impact on big size mammals, including the lynx, that have large individual areal and are able to bridge/ pass around the new structures in the area of the planned accumulation.
In wider terms, the main threats to the survival of lynx in its whole distributional home range include (i) hunting and (ii) devastation of its natural habitats – forest areas. Decades long sustainable management of natural resources and regime of nature protection, as well as prohibition of game hunting on the territory of NP Mavrovo have enabled creation of optimal conditions for lynx survival in the wider area of the national park. The project for HPP Boshkov Most establishment does not involve activities that would contribute to enhance mentioned risks, especially given the types of habitats that will be lost with the dam construction and lake formation, where open grass areas (pastures and meadows) dominate along with small amounts of oak forest localities.

Bear
Bear tracks were frequently found during the whole annual biodiversity survey at the wider project region. Based on the registered tracks, the approximate number of its population in the wider project area could be estimated on ten individuals. More frequent presence of the bear is estimated outside of the project region, at the upper part of the river Jadovska, sections toward Galicnik and Dajdovec as well as in the area around the cave Golubarnik, where winter bear den was found during the survey. It is an expert judgment that temporary bear families were settling these four localities. Within the immediate project area and localities where main project elements – the dam, intakes and associated infrastructure - are planned, bear tracks were less frequent, which was expected as the bear common habitats are dense forests and inaccessible terrains at higher localities. Due to that, no significant impact on the bears during the project implementation is expected.
Wolf
The wolf is common carnivore very widely distributed in Macedonia. It is estimated that its population and density is probably the highest in Europe, with approximately 1,000-1,100 individuals. During winter season, the wolf could be found very close to settlements, in search for food. Due to that, Macedonia has made a reservation concerning the wolf in respect to the obligations vis a vis the Bern Convention and the Washington Convention (CITES).
It is an extremely mobile species and a species which settles very wide range of habitat types. Therefore, the expected loss of terrestrial habitat of approximately 22 hectares and the limited habitat fragmentation will not have any significant impact on the wolf. On the contrary, it may be expected that the new water reservoir as a habitat would attract various animal species which are considered as prey for the wolf. As entirely nocturnal species, the wolf will not be directly affected during project’s construction activities.
Chamois
The main population of this species in the wider area of the proposed project is registered in the region of Mal Brzovec and Golem Brzovec, more precisely from locality Osojnica at the upper part of the river Jadovska to Kirilevec at the vicinity if the spring zones of the river Tresonecka. This region is outside of the area which is expected to be directly affected by the project activities. The population is estimated to approximately 250 individuals. During the winter season when high snow cover is likely, the chamois moves down to the boundary of the forest or forests clearings, but still outside of the project affected zones. Therefore, significant impacts on this species from the implementation of the HPP Boskov Most project are not expected.
Otter
Number of otters was registered throughout the project region during the annual biodiversity survey. Also, a family of otters with approximately ten individuals, close to the fish farm at locality Elen Skok, was registered. This species was present mainly at the lower part of the river basin of Mala Reka. The otter is entirely nocturnal semi-aquatic species, whose main food is small fish, amphibians and insects. The expected reduction of the quantity of water in the affected watercourses, i.e. the reduced flow, will ease the access to food. Further survey during the operational stage would allow an assessment of the real changes in the natural conditions in respect to the expected modification of the water regime and availability of food and significance of such changes for the otter, as well as the eventual need for additional mitigation measures for this species.
The planned dam will create local barrier with potential to disturb the otter’s traditional migratory ways. However, this fragmentation is of low significance for this species as it will be able to pass around the new structures in the area.

1.5.4.3 Additional measures to mitigate impacts
With regard to this group of species – bats – the following specific additional measures are recommended to reduce impacts apart from the measures identified in the ESIA package: (i) Prior to the commencement of the construction of access roads for the purposes of the construction of various plants of HPP Boshkov Most, trees envisaged for cutting have to be checked by qualified expert to find out possible presence of bat colonies. (ii) In the area of the range of the future accumulation, upstream of the planned dam, prior to accumulation filling in with water, detailed survey should be conducted by a qualified expert for marking the trees with bat colonies. In case of detection of such colonies, appropriate measures should be proposed (colony should be dislocated in time or adequate number of boxes for bats should be provided as compensation). Future bat monitoring during the construction stage should identify areas that might provide future habitat for bats in a case dislocation is required.
