Its central street is the Akhmeta-Batsara road section, which is used by local residents as well as visitors of Batsara-Babaneuri protected areas. The above mentioned road is the only access motorway to the entrance of Batsari reserve and its infrastructure arrangement such as street lighting, tourist information boards, proper waste management is an important step to increase the tourists flow. Outdoor lighting poles are depreciated and require replacement. As a result of tourist infrastructure development, the Pankisi gorge has the potential to become a more attractive touristic place, since in addition to protected areas, the Pankisi gorge borders the Tusheti national park, Ilto managed reserve, Khevsureti, Pshavi. The Sub-Project (SP) envisages the arrangement of central street lighting in the villages Birkani and Dzibakhevi (Pankisi gorge) of the Akhmeta municipality, installation of tourist indicator boards and waste bins on the same street. Within the SP, 2,4 km outdoor lighting will be arranged with new metal poles and 60 pieces of lights will be installed. At the same time, 1,1 m³ sized 14 modern receptacles will be installed on the main road together with two indicator boards with directions of tourist routes. More specifically, the following works are planned within the project: Install 60 outdoor lighting poles with 60 pieces of lights; Install 14 receptacles; Install 2 tourist information boards.

What are the significant beneficial and The expected negative environmental impacts are likely to be adverse environmental effects of the sub- short-term. During works long the road, the dust and emissions project? from the operation of construction machinery will be increased, background noise and vibration levels will rise insignificantly, various types of construction waste is expected to generate.

The pollution of environment with household waste and contamination of soil, surface and ground water will decrease. The visual environment of the nearby gorges and river banks, where usually the landfills are arranged, will be improved; the outdoor lighting arrangement will make general environment for local population and tourists better, outdoor lighting installation will increase the feeling of safety and security and make night travel convenient. The installation of tourist information boards about various tourist routes and historic and cultural places of interest in the Pankisi gorge will increase the awareness of tourists. Significant social impact, such as change of local demographic structure and influx of new settlers is not expected. Depending on the activities provided by the SP, no construction works are planned. Only outdoor lighting poles will be installed. The project implementation doesn’t cause the formation of toxins, pollutant gases and other harmful substances in the air, land and water. Within the SP, no damage to natural habitat of plants, wild animals and birds are envisaged. The implementation of the SP will not cause landslides, mudflows or other natural hazards. Implementation of the SP will not require turning off electricity for local population, since there will be a separate electricity line provided for lighting of posts. If before, during or after SP implementation concerned community members have complaints/ questions/ recommendations, these can be addressed to the sub-grantee, contractor, or Elkana, whose contact information will be made available at the SP site.

Reduction of adverse environmental impact during the installation works will be possible through protecting the following key conditions: fencing the construction site and fixing the relevant signs throughout its perimeter, proper management of waste and constant monitoring, ensuring the technical functionality of machinery used during the construction works, selecting less sensitive period for construction works. Planned works will not cause cutting of trees and preventive measures will be undertaken to avoid any damage to the nearby standing trees. Large tress on and in the vicinity of the intervention activities shall be marked and cordoned off with fencing, their root system protected, and any damage to the trees avoided.
