E2417 v2 Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized MITIGATION PLAN AND MONITORING PLAN for Feasibility Study “Introduction of Energy-Saving Technologies in Railroad Traffic on the Znamianka –Vadym Track Section of the Znamianka–Dolynska–Mykolaiv–Kherson–Djankoi Route” Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Odessa Railroad Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized 2009 Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Introduction The project development objective (PDO) is to : − substantially increase the capacity of the railway related to transport of goods and passengers − to improve traffic conditions, road-service qualities and technical standards. This project includes 2 main components: Component A: electrification of the track section Znamianka – Vadym Component B: construction of the second rail track The proposed FS ''Introduction of Energy-Saving Technologies in Railroad Traffic on the Znamianka –Vadym Track Section of the Znamianka– Dolynska–Mykolaiv–Kherson–Djankoi Route” is in full compliance with all environmental requirements of the Government of Ukraine and the World Bank. In accordance with the World Bank Environmental Assessment (EA) safeguard policy and procedures (OP/BP/GP 4.01) the project has been assigned Category B and an Environmental Management Plan is required. Environmental Management Plan includes following chapters: • Part A – Project Description • Part B – Mitigation Plan • Part C – Monitoring Plan • Part D – Description of Institutional Arrangements • Part E – Results of Public Consultations with all interested parties 2 .1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION Chapter ’’Environmental Impact Assessment’’to FS ’’Introduction of Energy-Saving Technologies in Railroad Traffic on the Znamianka –Vadym Track Section of the Znamianka – Dolynska – Mykolaiv – Kherson – Djankoi Route’’ The Feasibility study provides for: − Construction of the second track 328,43 km long including upgrading of the existing track – 13,45 km long; − Construction of a contact network 860,7 km long. In view of electrification of the track construction of new ESTs is foreseen at all stations and junctions, traction substations and duty posts buildings of the contact network at stations Mykolaiv, Novopoltavka, Kherson and Brylivka; locomotive maintenance points at stations Mykolaiv and Kherson. Construction of the second track and its operation facilities is foreseen in the roadbed of the railway so there is no need for extra land. Introduction of energy saving technologies in railroad traffic on the Znamianka – Vadym track section resulted in the improvement of environmental conditions at the expense of exclusion of emmisions into the air of diesel fuel combastion products with total amount of 9375,3 t/year. For the disposal of wastewater from the service and technical buildings at stations Velyki Kopani, Radenske, Novokyivka, junctions Chehovychi, Kotlyareve, Horokhivka, Hreyhove, Lotskyne, Horozhene, and junctions Dobrovilsky, Kazanka, Novodanylivka, Kutsivka, Maderove, Tsukrova purification installations of the Biotal type will the built with a productivity of 2 m3/day and the treated wastewater will be discharged into filtration yards. At stations Vadym, Kalanchak, Brylivks, Tsiuryupynsk, Novopoltavka, Sharivka, junction 5 km - purification installations of the Biotal type with a productivity of 7 m3/day. To purify surface flows at the CDAP of stations Kherosn, Brylivka, Mykolaiv and Novopoltavka purification plants with a regulating holding capacity will be built. In the process of construction and operation of facilities construction and domestic waste is disposed, the removal of waste is carried out according to the concluded agreements. The introduction of energy-saving technologies will reduce to a minimum the impact on the environment, agricultural output, landscape, as well as the flora and fauna. The elimination of emissions of diesel fuel combustion into the atmosphere (carbon monoxide, sulfurous anhydride, nitrogen dioxide and soot) will reduce the area’s background pollution, all of which will have a positive effect on the environment. Since the estimated noise levels in the buffer area will not increase, the FS does not foresee any additional measures. 3 Measures – namely safety, technological and planning measures – have been developed to assure a standard status of the environment. Measures have been undertaken to protect line-cable communication facilities from electromagnetic impact. Measures are also foreseen in a scope that is necessary to protect warehouses and structures against sparking of highly inflammable liquid fuels and gases. Ionizing radiation and ultrasound are absent. In the course of introduction of energy saving technologies in railroad traffic on the route Znamianka – Dolynska – Mykolaiv – Kherson – Djankoi – Vadym and electrification of the route along with construction of the second track the environment will be impacted. The environment will be impacted in the following way during the construction process: − Traffic comlications − Increased noise level − Pollution of adjecent areas with dust − Air pollution by the used gases from the construction equipment. During operation the impact will be as follows: − Traffic noise − Electromagnetic radiation − Vibrations from railway traffic − Gas emissions from heating equipment − Gas emissions from welding equipment − Water consumption and water discharge. The public has been informed about the FS '' Introduction of Energy-Saving Technologies in Railroad Traffic on the Znamianka –Vadym Track Section of the Znamianka – Dolynska – Mykolaiv – Kherson – Djankoi Route’’, its purpose and ways of implementation through media and public consultations in Kirovohrad, Mykolaiv and Kherson oblasts. 4 Part B: Mitigation Plan B.
