In that case the percentage share for each code should be indicated with the total not exceeding 100%. 3 NACE-Rev.2, 4 digit code: Regulation (EC) No 1893/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 393, 30.12.2006, p.1). 4 Regulation (EC) No 1059/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 154, 21.6.2003, p. 1). Use the most detailed and relevant NUTS code. Where a project affect multiple individual NUTS/LAU 2 level areas, consider encoding the NUTS/LAU1 or higher codes. EN 4 EN The project refers to the development of an integrated waste management system in Valcea County which is located in the South – Western Region of Romania. Valcea County Figure B-1: Location of Valcea County in Romania In 2009 the population in Valcea County was 408.518 inhabitants. 45.4% of the inhabitants live in urban areas, while the rest remain at the rural parts of the county. The population presents a decrease, that varies from 0,4% to 0,7% per year for the period of 2009-2016 and 0,9% to 1,22% per year for the period of 2024 to 2040. The total decrease in the period 2009 – 2013 is expected to be 2,2% while the decrease for the period 2009 – 2040 is expected to be 24,7%. (The above projections was made according to statistical data from NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF STATISTICS, Romania, Statistical Yearbook 2008-2009 and conserning each locality of the county for the above years ) The following map (also included in Annex A & chap.1 of FS), for better visualization) presents the division in zones where the waste management infrastructures, existed & to be developed in Valcea County, namely the central waste management facility in Roesti (Zone 2), consisting of 1 sorting station, 1 biodegradable waste treatment plant and 1 landfill, plus 2 new sorting stations in Brezoi (Z1) and Raureni (Z3) respectively. The existed facilities are 1 composting plant in Raureni, 1 landfill in Feteni, 5 transfer stations in Brezoi, Firtatesti, Balcesti, Galicea, Ionesti & 1 sorting station in Dragasani EN 5 EN Zone 1 Zone 2 Zone 3 Zone 4 Zone 5 Zone 6 Figure B-2: Zoning for the main waste management infrastructures, existed & to be developed in Valcea County EN 6 EN The current municipal waste management system in Valcea County mainly consists of collection, some recovery and disposal of waste. A great majority of the quantity of collected municipal waste is disposed of in the existing compliant landfill in Feteni of Ramnicu Valcea and serves only the population of this municipality. For the major part of the County, the existing waste management practices do not comply with the EU legislation and national waste management policy. In this case, severe risks create for the environment and public health. The current waste management system is unsustainable in all its components as indicated below: • Waste collection: o Approximately 142851 tn of wastes are collected in 2011 (34400 in rural and 108451 in urban areas) o Level of connection is approx. 100% in urban areas and 90% in rural ones for 2011. It is noted that for the very few communes that do not have contracts with operators, the waste is collected and transported to the existing landfills by using their own equipment o Collection in several cases is performed by non authorised operators o Selective collection is implemented only in some localities of the county under Phare and ISPA programs but without covering the entire population of the zone that each locality belongs (Rm Valcea, Brezoi, Firtatesti, Galicea, Ionesti, Balcesti) o Existing equipment are in some cases old and insufficient for covering the entire population, especially in relation to selective collection o Waste collection logistics should be improved considering that only one non compliant landfill exists and the waste should be transported to the central waste management facilities in the most cost-efficient manner (via a network of transfer stations). o The existed transfer stations are located in Brezoi (5.803 tn/y), Firtatesti (6.565 tn/y), Balcesti (6.602 tn/y), Galicea (3.125 tn/y), Ionesti (3.945 tn/y). In relation to the waste collection the effort should be focused on the expansion of selective collection system, on the improvement of waste collection logistics as well as on the acquisition of the necessary equipment to cover the waste collection needs of the whole county. • Biological treatment of waste: o There is only one composting facility in the county located in Raureni (current operation about 14000 tn/year) for waste treatment o The treatment of biodegradable waste presents inability to reach the targets imposed by legislation • Waste recycling: o There is one sorting facility in Dragasani for collection and separation of recyclables. The capacity needs estimated for 3756 tn/yr and will produce 2.047 tn/year of recyclables and almost 1.708 tn/year of residues o The percent of population connected to separate collection services in total is 30% o The existed recycling situation shows inability to reach the targets imposed by legislation EN 7 EN The lack of adequate biodegradable waste treatment as well as no sorting of waste streams, generated significant environmental and public health threats, since this waste ends up untreated in landfills. Also, the very strict targets that need to be fulfilled in relation to the diversion of biodegradable waste from disposal as well as the recycling may never be accomplished under the current waste management practices. • Waste disposal: o Wastes are disposed in existing landfill in Rm Valcea (Feteni with current 3 disposal of 31500 tn/year, capacity of 1,000,000 m and life duration of 25 years) and covers only the population of this municipality o For the major part of the County the disposal took or takes place in the non compliant landfills of Calimanesti (cessation of activity date 2009, capacity 300.000 m 3) Dragasani (cessation of activity date 2009, capacity 400.000 m 3), Brezoi (cessation of activity date 2009, capacity 70.000 m 3), Babeni (cessation of activity date 2009, capacity 30.000 m3), Balcesti (cessation of activity date 2009, capacity 30.000 m 3), Maldaresti (cessation of activity date 2017, capacity 90.000 m 3), Baile Govora (cessation of activity date 2009, capacity 300.000 m3).
