Podhale Waste Water Treatment ISPA PRESS RELEASE No.: 2000/PL/16/P/PE/007 Measure title: Podhale waste water treatment Authority responsible for implementation Name: Ministry of the Environment Address: ul.Wawelska 52/54 00-922 Warsaw (responsible for supervision of the implementing agency) Name: National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management Address: Konstruktorska 3A 00-673 Warsaw, Poland (responsible for preparation of the project, supervision of tendering and contracting and monitoring of the progress of the project ) Name: The Podhale Municipal Company Address: ul. Długa 21, 34-400 Nowy Targ, Poland (responsible for all technical aspects of the implementation of the project ) Location Region: Małoposkie Voivodship Description The project is located in the Małoposkie Voivodship in the very south of Poland on the area of counties Tatra and Nowy Targ. The project area is make up by 13 communes with a population of 161 000 inhabitants. The communes concerned are: Bukowina Tatrzańska, Poronin, Kościelisko, Biały Dunajec, Czarny Dunajec, Czorsztyn, Krościenko, Łapsze Niżne, Nowy Targ, Ochotnica Dolna, Szaflary, City of Szczawnica and City of Nowy Targ. The measure aims at compliance with environmental acquis in the field of the waste water management. The project is situated in the mountainous landscape of the Dunajec river catchment which belongs to the Vistula river basin. The project area is inadequately equipped with sanitary infrastructure. The waste water collection system is underdeveloped and has an extremely high level of infiltration. Only 38% of the population permanently residing in the area is connected to the sewer network. The connection rate varies significantly between communes. The highest connection rate is reported in the municipality of Nowy Targ (87%) and the lowest in the Czarny Dunajec commune (2%). The construction of the sewer system in the total length of 818 km and 47 pumping stations is projected in the overall investment plan for the area. The gravitational type of sewerage represents approximately 98% of the above figure. The entire system will, after implementation of the investment plan, comprise 20 WWTPs with a design capacity of 41 128 m3/day and 1 506 km of the sewer network. It is foreseen that after realisation of the measure almost 100% of the population of the area will be connected to the waste water system. The overall investment needs for the sewerage and WWTP construction activities were estimated at € 141.2 million. The Podhale Association, which was formed with the aim of eliminating shortcomings in waste water management, has established a limited liability company called Podhalańskie Przedsiębiorstwo Komunalne (Podhale Municipal Company) which will be in charge of waste water management as well as implementation of the investment plan indicated above. The implementation of the investment plan is sequenced in two phases. Phase I, subject to the present financing memorandum, will focus mainly on a company building Technical Assistance component. The Technical Assistance will build up appropriate capacity in the newly-established company for implementing the entire investment programme which follows in Phase II. In addition, the technical assistance will contribute to the enhancement of the operational and financial performance of the company and accordingly to the sustainability of operations. The technical assistance will also provide support during the implementation of both phases of the measure. The technical assistance may address the following issues as concerns capacity building of the public utility: human resources, management structure, operational issues, transfer of assets, financial management, procurement, capital and investment planning, the tariff system to be applied, management of infrastructure projects, programme management, master planning, and the operational performance of company. Furthermore Phase I will include a minor part of the investment programme, the construction activities of utmost urgency as follows: − The upgrade of WWTPs in Nowy Targ, Niedzica and Czarny Dunajec The Nowy Targ WWTP is a mechanical-chemical-biological plant. It is projected that the plant will receive a volume of waste water which corresponds to the current load of 21 000 m3/day. However the load of pollution will increase from the current 120 000 p.e. to 130 000 p.e. The plant will be modernized and upgraded. The Niedzica WWTP is a mechanical-chemical-biological plant. The current capacity of 429 m3/day, 2 501 p.e. will not meet projected needs after the development of the sewer network in its catchment. Therefore the plant must be up-graded to a capacity of 770 m3/day, 7 700 p.e. The Czarny Dunajec WWTP is a plant with a bio-chemical treatment line with a capacity of 400 m3/day, 1 483 p.e. The capacity of plant will be increased to 1 500 m3/day; 13 300 p.e. − The construction of WWTP in Sromowce Nizne The existing WWTP in Sromowce Nizne is technically in such a bad condition that rehabilitation is not possible within reasonable cost. Therefore a completely new WWTP with the following parameters will be constructed, 140 m3/day, 1 250 p.e. These activities will result in: i) an improvement of the load reduction and in line with requirements of the Polish and EC legislation; ii) compliance of effluent parameters with relevant Polish and EC legislation; and iii) the enhancement of the WWTPs’ capacity as indicated above. − The construction of sewerage The total length of the sanitary sewerage constructed within the scope of this financing memorandum will be 74 674 m of which 954 m under pressure. 7 134 m of the existing sewerage will be sealed and lined as appropriate. Objectives The overall objective of the project is to achieve compliance with the EC Directive 91/271/EEC on Urban Waste Water Treatment. The overall objective will be reached by implementation of both phases of the project. In summary, the specific objectives of the project’s Phase I are: To reduce pollution load of the environment, To improve the quality of water of the Dunajec river, To increase effectivity of the treatment process in WWTPs operating on the project area, • To increase efficiency of the wastewater management system by provision of the technical assistance to the body in charge of the waste water management, To increase quality of life of inhabitants of the concerned communes. Environmental impact analysis A part of infrastructure investment covered by the project falls within projects covered by Annex II of the EIA Directives (85/337/EEC, as amended by 97/11/EC). The relevant national authority issued a decision on obligatory EIA for the extension of the WWTP in Nowy Targ. Since the EIA procedure for the activities is under way, any payment to related works will be subject to condition in Article 8 (4) of the financing memorandum. The activities relating to the construction of sewerage are not covered by the EIA Directives. The relevant authority also issued a declaration confirming that the project has no effect on sites of nature conservation importance (Natura 2000 potential sites).

  • Portraits of Emigration: Sour Milk and Honey in the Promised Land
    Portraits of Emigration: Sour Milk and Honey in the Promised Land Mary Patrice Erdmans, University of North Carolina, Greensboro This article analyzes the moral tones of public emigration stories through an ex- ploratory analysis of newspaper stories published between 1990 and 1993 in a region in Poland with a century-old tradition of out-migration. Media stories arc fertile ground for examining values and myths because they negotiate between the micro-level process of individuals constructing meanings and the macro-level process of political economies producing meanings. I identified two sets of contradictory stories: (1) stories about the sending country cast emigrants as either home builders or home wreckers, and (2) sto- ries about the receiving country depicted America as either Horatio Alger's land of pos- sibility or a morally degenerate place where greed corrupts the soul. To explain these contradictions, I compare the institution of migration to (post)modcm culture and note that both contribute to social diversity and structural differentiation which lead to value inconsistencies. An article titled "The bitter taste of America," published in the Tygodnik Podhalanski in Poland, opens with a description of an aging elegant woman dressed in fading American clothes carefiilly counting her change as she does her daily shopping in Zakopane, a town in the mountainous Podhale region in southeastern Poland (Sowa 1991). The husband of this impoverished woman had emigrated to the United States in the 1970s, leaving her and their three children behind on the family land. He never returned, yet neither did he sever ties with the family. Over the years he sent them money and presents from Chicago, and eventually each of his children joined him there.

  • Neotectonics of the Polish Carpathians in the Light of Geomorphic Studies: a State of the Art
    Acta Geodyn. Geomater., Vol. 6, No. 3 (155), 291-308, 2009 NEOTECTONICS OF THE POLISH CARPATHIANS IN THE LIGHT OF GEOMORPHIC STUDIES: A STATE OF THE ART Witold ZUCHIEWICZ Faculty of Geology, Geophysics and Environmental Protection, AGH University of Science and Technology, A. Mickiewicza 30, 30-059 Kraków, Poland *Corresponding author‘s e-mail: [email protected] (Received January 2009, accepted March 2009) ABSTRACT Neotectonics of the Carpathians used to be studied extensively, particular attention being paid to the effects of large-scale domal uplifts and open folding above marginal zones of thrusts and imbricated map-scale folds, and rarely to the characteristics of young faulting. Neotectonic faults tend to be associated with the margins of the Orava-Nowy Targ Basin, superposed on the boundary between the Inner and Outer Western Carpathians, as well as with some regions within the Outer Carpathians. The size of Quaternary tilting of the Tatra Mts. on the sub-Tatric fault were estimated at 100 to 300 m, and recent vertical crustal movements of this area detected by repeated precise levelling are in the range of 0.4-1.0 mm/yr in rate. Minor vertical block movements of oscillatory character (0.5-1 mm/yr) were detected along faults cutting the Pieniny Klippen Belt owing to repeated geodetic measurements performed on the Pieniny geodynamic test area. In the western part of the Western Outer Carpathians, middle and late Pleistocene reactivation of early Neogene thrust surfaces was suggested. Differentiated mobility of reactivated as normal Miocene faults (oriented (N-S to NNW-SSE and NNE-SSW) in the medial portion of the Dunajec River drainage basin appears to be indicated by the results of long-profile analyses of deformed straths, usually of early and middle Pleistocene age.

    Bulletin d’Hydrogiologie No 17 (1999) Centre d’Hydrogiologie, Universiti de Neuchdtel ED~IONSPET ERLwc Geological framework of the Tatra Mountains- Podhale geothermal system (Carpathians) by J6zef Wieczorek GEOCONSULTMG, Smoluchowskiego4/1,30-083 Krak6w, Poland, in cooperation with PEC Geotermia Podhalanska S. A. Zakopane ABSTRACT The Podhale (Western Carpathians) region lying between the Tatra Mts. and the Pieniny Klippen Belt is known as an area rich in thermal water exploited for heating purposes as well as recreation (swimming pools). The thermal springs at the foot of the Tatra Mts. (Jaszczurowka, Oravice) are the surhce manifestations of an active geothermal system. Numerous drilling data have cohedthe existence of low-enthalpy geothermal reservoir under the entire Podhale basin. The thermal waters are associated with carbonates of highly fractured Nummulite Eocene and with Mesozoic rocks (carbonates of Middle Triassic, sandstones of Lower Jurassic).Two geothermal doublets were completed for themal water exploitation in the northern part of Podhale basin where thermal waters of 80-90°C occur at the depth -2000-3000m. KEVWORDS Thermal waters, geothermal system, geology, Carpathians 1. Entroduction The Podhale (Western Carpathians) region lying between the Tatra Mts. and the Pieniny Klippen Belt is known as an area rich in low-enthalpy thermal water (SOKOLOWSKI, 1992, CHOWANJEC & POPRAWA 1998). The Tatra Mts. massif elevated in Miocene and mainly in post-Miocene period form a recharge area of 350 km2however, the Pieniny Klippen Belt is considered an impermeable barrier for fluid flow. The Tatra Mts.-Podhale segment of the Inner Carpathians form an alpine-type artesian geothermal system, which is only a part of a much larger Inner Carpathian geothemml region, situated on both sides of Poland-Slovakian border around the Tatra Mts.

E.mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: Alexandrowicz, W.P. 2015. The application of malacological analysis in the study of slope deposits: late Pleis- tocene and Holocene of the Podhale Basin (Carpathians, Poland). Acta Geologica Polonica, 65 (2), 245–261. Warszawa. Slope deposits developed on calcareous sandstone and limestone formations in the eastern part of the Podhale Basin (Carpathians) were studied. In total, the analysis included fifteen profiles of such sediments, which revealed the presence of abundant malacofaunas comprising 39 mollusc species. Five faunistic assemblages differing in species composition and structure were defined in the material studied. Individual assemblages correspond to different climatic and environmental conditions, thereby making it possible to interpret the features of the sed- imentary environments and specify the age of the deposits. Faunas with Pupilla loessica and Pupilla sterri con- taining species typical of loess formations are characteristic of deposits from the coldest phase of the last Gla- cial period (MIS 2). A fauna with Vertigo genesii, with a large proportion of cold-loving and moisture-loving taxa, is typical of the Younger Dryas. Associations that are dominated by shade-loving species, with Discus rudera- tus and Discus perspectivus, correspond to the early and middle Holocene respectively.
