It describes in detail the EIA process and all the steps by which the documentation for this section was prepared. The anex also indicates the dates of all major public hearings and meetings regarding the D1 motorway section Fričovce - Svinia. The most important notice sources of this annex, I should mention the situation and tables, which record important information about the section with detailed legends. Section will follow the D1 motorway running from the junction "Fričovce" to the junction "Svinia", which is currently in operation. That section is part of the route corridor Bratislava - Kosice. 1.2 Purpose of this Report Annex III Project Environmental report was written as an annex to the Application of non-repayable grant. It describes the whole process EIA (EIA environment assessment) from its basic study "Initial Environmental Study D1 Hybe - Prešov, 1993", which in this case replaced the intention, it describes complete EIA review process including the assessment report on D1 Fričovce - Prešov, public hearings , report or Final Decission, territorial decision and building permit. Other parts of the project contain information on Natura 2000 territories and their importance in respect of the road (motorway) corridor, SEA and operation transport program. Finally we come to the part of the ongoing monitoring of environmental media in the affected section of D1 Fričovce - Svinia which thus took place at a stage prior to construction, will run throughout the construction period and in the first year of activating D1 motorway Fričovce - Svinia into service. Important parts of the project are pictures and tables in particular, often used in the project or map foundations. 1.3 Structure of this Report Chapter 1 describes the introduction to the EIA process of assessment impact for the affected section D1 Fričovce - Svinia including general geographical and historical description. Territory description affected by the D1 Fričovce – Svinia construction is in chapter 2. Chapter 3 describes the whole process of assessment impact on environment EIA from the opening "Initial environmental study D1 Hybe - Prešov, reports and assessments, technical expertise up to the Final Decission. Chapter 4 is devoted to Territorial Decision, its comments and monitoring. Chapter 5 is devoted to Building Permit, its comments and monitoring. Chapter 6 contains information on "actions/measures" throughout the EIA process, territorial decision and building permit.

Section will follow the motorway in operation from the junction "Fričovce" to the junction "Svinia", which is being prepared (just before the construction). That section is part of the route corridor Bratislava - Košice. The section is designed in the category D 26.5 / 100. The total section length is 11 217 m. The purpose and aim of the construction is to complete the basic motorway traction, improve conditions for international and domestic transport. Construction of the motorway will significantly improve transport - operating conditions for transit traffic. The section will consist of 16 bridges, out of which 15 bridges will be situated on the motorway and over it. Small two-way landing will be situated in the solved motorway section. Motorway equipment is proposed in the standard level (telecommunications equipment, ice detectors, traffic counters, intercepting crash barriers, road signs and others). Vertical alignment of motorway route is tailored to the territory relief - the motorway crossing points across the valley or there are already mentioned bridges designed above road entities (16 bridges). The motorway in this section passes through Saris highlands, at the end of the section also through Košice basin. The territory belongs to the region Saris. Saris region used to be Ugrian county. In the north bordering with Poland, western frontier region is formed by Spis county, border in the east is created out of Zemplin county and the south Abov-Turna county. Saris region consists of river basins Torysa, Topla and Ondava. Rivers Poprad and Hornad also flow through it. Saris highlands are extended in the south west. The highest peak of the region is Mincol (1157 m) in Cergov mountains. The historical centre of Saris was Saris castle since 1647 it is Prešov.

Mostly Slovak ethnicity was completed of Ruthenia and Ukrainian ethnicity in 15th century after Wallachia colonization. In 1918, Saris became part of Czech-Slovakia. The territory Saris is part of Prešov region today.
