Environmental Impact Assessment EIA of Hot Dip Zing Galvanizing Facility - Oryahovo, BG. Executive Summarv. The new Hot Dip Zinc GalvantzingPlant will be the only galvanrzingfacility in NorthernBulgaria. The new galvamzingplant will be installed on the premisesof a former metallurgy facility, which comprised a foundry and electro-galvamzing facility. The Plant's capacrtywill be 6,000 t p.a. assuminga one-shiftprocessing schedule. The new Hot Dip Zing GalvantzingPlant will be situatedin the North- Westernpart of Bulgaria, and located in the town of Oryahovo - a port on the DanubeRiver, with a customsoffice and a ferry-boatcomplex (see Appendix I.). During the period: October 2006 March 2007, a full Environmental lmpact AssessmentStudy (EIA Study) of the proposedHot Dip Zinc GalvanrzingProject (i.e., the Project) actlities was performed, and a final EIA Report, documenting the EIA processesand results was prepared. The EIA Report was developedin compliancewith the relevant guidelines,set by the OverseasPrivate Investment Corporation(OPIC), the IFC, and the BG Ministry of Environmentand Waters(BG MEW). This EIA Reportwould be submittedto OPIC in June2007. 1. ProjectProponents. A specialentity (i.e., a "SpecialPurpose Corporation", or "SPC") will be incorporated to implement the Project with the participation of a Bulgarian and an American partner. Bulgarian Purtner in this project is 66TRF1.-P"EOOD, a Bulgarian company, which has acquiredland, production,storage and administrativebuildings, the related infrastructure and machinery and equipment located in the town of Oryahovo. "TRE P" EOOD holds clean title over assetsacquired against a considerationbelow the investment cost for setting up a similar plant which contributedto the lower overall cost of the Project. American partner in this project is "GTI Engineering Inc", - an U.S. corporationwith more than 14 years of experiencein manufacturinggalvanrzing equipment. GTI hasbeen selected to supply the Plant'smachinery and equipment. The assistanceof GTI will be continuousas GTI expertswere involved in the processof customrzingthe Plant's galvanizing equipmentin order to optimize perforrnanceand streamlineoperations at the same time. 2. Policy,Statutory and InstitutionalFramework The main law of the Republic of Bulgaria governingthe rules applied in drafting an Environmental Impact Assessment EIA and, which is applied in the implementationof specif,rcprojects (including this Hot Dip GalvanizingFacility Project),is the Environment Protection Act. This act is the basic legislativetool empowering the government to frame regulations fo, the protection of the environment. Passing the Environment Protection Act was followed by the establishmentof the Executive Environment Agency, which is governed by the requirementslaid down in its Rules of Organization.The Executive Environment Agency is charged with the task to monitor tl-reenforcement of legal provisions concerning the quality of the environment and to control the protection of the environmentagainst pollution and disturbarrce.Regional Environment and Water Executive Summarv - | EIA of Hot Dilt Zittg Golvanizing Facility - Oryahovo, BG. Inspectorateswere establishedat the sametime with the task to assistthe Executive Agencyin dischargingits dutiesin individual regionswithin Bulgaria. The main legislative body on the government level in the field of environment protection and control is the Ministry of Environment and Waters. The relevant propertiesof the environmentsubject to monitoring and control, and the methods accordingto which those activitiesare conducted,are regulatedby laws defining the requirementsapplicable to the impact on individr-ralcomponents of the environment (seeAppendix 2.1), as well as by the relatedregLrlations and guidelinesadopted by the secondarylegislation of the Councilof Ministers. A National Environmental Strategy is alreadyin place, and now the "2007 - 2013 Environmental OperativeProgram" is being developedand discussed,and is to be adoptedon the governmentallevel. The main strategicaim of this Program is to improve, protect and restore the natural environment and develop environmental infrastructure.The specific strategic aims are related to the preservation and improvementof the condition of waters;improvement of wastemanagement and soil protection;preserving biodiversity and protecting the nature. 3.

Surface water assessment is important for number of activities such as: water management in the country, making reports to international agencies, determining the change of the resources in the light of upcoming climate changes. The determination of water resources is based on information of hydrometric stations from the monitoring network system in the National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology — Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (NIMH- BAS) in which real ongoing and available water flows that are subject of management are registered. In the study a technology for surface water bodies in the Bulgarian basins of the lower Danube is applied which has been developed in the frame of cooperative project together with the Ministry of Environment and Water. This is absolutely true for the Bulgarian section of the Danube River basin which is expressed in big number and variety of hydrological homogeneous sections. The river flow is characterized with annual and inter-annual variability determined by climatic factors and anthropogenic influences.

On the Subject of Research Herein, with respect to the spread of literacy in Austria–Hungary are studied the Banat Bulgarians, who are Western Rite Catholics. In 1890 they numbered 14 801 people. At that time the Banat Bulgarians had already been seled in the Habsburg Empire for a century and a half. ey were refugees from the district of Chiprovtsi town (Northwestern Bulgaria) who had le Bulgarian lands aer the unsuccessful anti-Ooman uprising of 1688.

Dissertation Advisor: Catherine Evtuhov, Ph. D. ABSTRACT Based upon a reading of Ottoman, Russian, and Bulgarian archival documents, this dissertation examines the response by the Ottoman and Russian states to the accelerated pace of migration and spread of disease in the Black Sea region from the outbreak of the Russo-Ottoman War of 1768-1774 to the signing of the Treaty of Hünkar Iskelesi in 1833. Building upon introductory chapters on the Russian-Ottoman Black Sea frontier and a case study of Bulgarian population movements between the Russian and Ottoman Empires, this dissertation analyzes Russian and Ottoman migration and settlement policies, the spread of epidemic diseases (plague and cholera) in the Black Sea region, the construction of quarantines and the implementation of travel document regimes.

    DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR _______________StK______________ SK MARSHALL LEE MILLER Stanford University Press STANFORD, CALIFORNIA I 975 Stanford University Press Stanford, California © 1975 by the Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University Printed in the United States of America is b n 0-8047-0870-3 LC 74-82778 To my grandparents Lee and Edith Rankin and Evelyn Miller Preface SOS h e p o l it ic a l history of modern Bulgaria has been greatly ne­ T glected by Western scholars, and the important period of the Second World War has hardly been studied at all. The main reason for this has no doubt been the difficulty of obtaining documentary material on the wartime period. Although the Communist regime of Bulgaria has published a large number of books and monographs dealing with the country’s role in the war, these works have been concerned mostly with magnifying the importance of the Bulgarian Communist Party (BKP) and the partisan struggle. Despite this bias, useful information can be found in these works when other sources are available to provide perspective and verification. Within recent years, German, American, British, and other diplo­ matic and intelligence reports from the wartime years have become available, and the easing of travel restrictions in Bulgaria has facili­ tated research there. As recently as 1958, when the doctoral thesis of Marin V. Pundeff was presented (“Bulgaria’s Place in Axis Policy, 1936-1944”), there was very little material on the period after June 1941. It is now possible to fill in many of the important gaps in our knowledge of Bulgaria during the entire war.
