W thin the framework of this integ ted project, the EA Consultant is responsible for pr paration of: * Environmental Framework Poli y (EFP); * Environmental Assessment (E ) E ivironmental Framework Policy D T e Environmental Framework Poli document reflects key provisions of environmental p licies adopted by Ukraine and th World Bank, the results of their comparative review, a d demonstrates their compatibility pn all major issues. T e existing methodological frame orks for environmental assessment, developed in U raine and adopted by the WorI Bank, have been reviewed as part of the EFP pi eparation. This review reveals a ry close similarity of these frameworks, with only few rrinor inconsistencies, which ha not been encountered in the preparation of e vironmental assessments for sele ted investment projects. E nvironmental Assessment T e Environmental Assessment d cuments, presented in this submission, have been p epared according to the World B nk environmental policies (OP4.01) and procedures, vyhich are compatible with the Law of Ukraine "On Environmental Review" and the EIA- r( lated State Construction Stand rd DBN A.2.2-1-2003 "The Environmental Impact A ssessment Content and Compositi n for Construction Projects" (Kyiv, 2004). T here have been numerous chan s in the list of proposed projects, which should be s bject to environmental assessme . The most recent list of projects, provided to the EA Consultant and dated 12 Octobe 2005, appears to be different from the initial list. ircluded in the Terms of Reference of P t the same time, the Environment Assessment studies were carried out for a number cther projects/locations, included i the expert's findings/e-mails dated 13 May, 11 June, 1 August and 26 August, 2005 (Iv no-Frankivsk, and towns in Kharkiv Oblast: Kupyansk, I ium, Chuguev). ccording to above mentioned, the resent report consists of two volumes: * Volume 1 - preliminary s -projects identified for inclusion under Ul project (according to the list dated 12 October, 2005). * Volume 2 - addition sub-proj ts reviewed according to expert's findings. 1 he general content of Final EA Re ort is given below.

PUBLIC CONSULTATIO CONCLUSIONS 49 50 NNEX A - Materials on Public Consult tions IN RODUCTION D netsk oblast is located in South- astern part of Ukraine. In the southwest, the area b rders with Zaporizhzhia and Dnip petrovsk Oblasts, on the Northeast - with Lugansk East - with Rostov Cblast, which is a Russian territory. Southern part of O last, on the 2 o last borders with Azov Sea. Thb area of the oblast - 26.5 thousand kM , which c nstitutes 4.4% of the total area of t ie country. Total population of oblast is 4.95 mi ion (approximately 10% of the total population of the c untry). Population density is 191 person/kM2, 90% of which lives in the cities and to nships. Population density in Dc etsk oblast is the highest in Ukraine. Also, it is the o last with highest percentage of ur n population. O last is divided into 18 districts. T re are 49 cities and towns in the oblast. The largest are Donetsk (above 1 million peo le), Mariupol' and Makeevka (above 500 thousand p ople), Gorlovka, Kramatorsk and ' laviansk. There are 1120 villages in the oblast. D netsk oblast is one of the most industrially developed oblasts in Ukraine. There are m Dre than 2000 industrial enter rises (800 of which are the major enterprises), s ecializing in coal mining, ene y generation, heavy machinery production and c nstruction materials. More than 00 mineral deposit sites are in exploitation in the o last. H gh concentration of industry, eveloped agricultural sector and wide transport in rastructure, as well as high popul tion density create a significant impact on biosphere - pi obably the highest not only within e Ukraine, but also all over Europe. D onetsk oblast is one of the most nvironmentally "tense" regions in Ukraine. The most a ute problems in oblast are the issues of the air and water pollution, as well as a cumulation of industrial (often haz rdous) wastes, especially from the mining industry. T e city of Donetsk is an administr tive, economic and cultural centre of Donetsk oblast. Conetsk is located on the border Kalmius river. It is located on intersection of major r ilroads and highways. There is a airport in the city. There are 9 districts in the city - B udenovskiy, Voroshilovskiy, Kali skiy, Kievskiy, Kirovskiy, Kujbyshevskiy, Leninskiy, Petrovskiy and Proletarskiy.

At present, there is a tende cy to decrease in total population. According to historical data, the ci was established at the end of 17th century, when a s ttlement of settled Cossacks wa founded, named "Alexandrovskaya sloboda". Further evelopment of the city was conne ted with discovering and beginning of mining of coal eposits in 1820.
