MOTORWAY, ENVIRONMENT, ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT, MEASURES ON IMPACT REDUCTION AND PREVENTION The study object is the environment of the region of the road reconstruction Р-80 Sloboda-Papernya, 0,000 km - 14,770 km. The subject of the study is the possible changes in the state of the environment during the implementation of the proposed activity. The aim of the study is to evaluate the baseline state of the environment, estimate the anthropogenic impact on the environment in the area of proposed works, to forecast possible changes in the environment during the implementation of the planned activity. The EIA report includes: - the main conclusions about the nature and extent of the possible impact on the environment, alternative options for the implementation of the proposed activities; - description of the possible consequences in the field of environmental protection and the rational use of natural resources and the associated socio-economic and other consequences of the planned activities for the environment, including public health, flora and fauna, lands (including soils), subsoil, atmospheric air, water resources, climate, landscape, specially protected natural areas, etc.; - description of measures to prevent and minimize the potential negative impact of the proposed activity on the environment and improve socio-economic conditions; - the rationale for selecting the priority approach to the implementation of the proposed activity, including cancellation of the implementation (zero alternative), as well as the best available technical and other solutions for the proposed activity; - conditions for the design of the facility to ensure the environmental safety of the planned activities, considering the possible consequences in the field of environmental protection and rational use of natural resources and associated socio-economic and other consequences of the planned activities for the environment and public health.

Intensive long-distance freight and passenger transportations are carried out on this road. Reconstruction of the P-80 road section will complete the construction of the Second Ring Road around the city of Minsk, including the combined sections of the M-1 / E30 and M-2 roads. The decision to build the Second Ring Road was based on the fact that the existing Minsk Ring Road has almost reached its capacity limit: currently, in some of its sections, the traffic intensity reaches 100,000 vehicles per day, and taking into account the development prospects of the city, it will further increase. Such a flow of vehicles creates certain difficulties for traffic along the transit road, including the East-West direction. Also, at present, there is a process of intensive expansion of Minsk urban development outside the existing Minsk Ring Road. The location of the Minsk Ring Road within the city limits negatively affects the city's environment and the comfort of living in the residential areas adjacent to the road. The levels of atmospheric air pollution, noise and other harmful factors on many sections of the route exceed the regulatory parameters. After the implementation of the master plan for the development of Minsk city till 2030 and the absorption of the existing Minsk Ring Road by urban developments, the second ring road around the city of Minsk will be the main transport corridor for transit traffic bypassing the city, as well as for transport links of the developing suburban satellite zones: industrial cities - Dzerzhinsk, Zhodino, Fanipol; agroindustrial cities - Smolevichi, Stolbtsy, Uzda, Rudensk; tourist-recreational cities - Zaslavl, Logoisk. Reconstruction of P-80 road Sloboda-Papernya, 0.000 km - 14.770 km, is planned according to the specifications of the I-c technical category. In accordance with Article 7 of the Law of the Republic of Belarus "On State Environmental Expertise, Strategic Environmental Assessment and Environmental Impact Assessment" No. 399-3 dated July 18, 2016, the reconstructed road is an object for which an environmental impact assessment (EIA) is conducted during the preparation of the pre-design documentation. Environmental safety of motorways is achieved through the development and application in the construction and reconstruction design documentation of technical solutions that limit negative environmental impacts to acceptable levels, at which there are no harmful effects on public health and there is no irreversible change in the natural environment, deterioration of socio-economic conditions or habitats of people. In the process of implementing the project documentation, the established rules for nature management and environmental protection must be adhered to. The environmental impact assessment is conducted in order to: - comprehensively consider possible consequences in the field of environmental protection and rational use of natural resources and associated socio-economic and other consequences of planned activities for the environment, including public health and safety, fauna, flora, land (including soils), subsoil, atmospheric air, water resources, climate, landscape, as well as for historical and cultural value objects and (if available) the interrelations between these consequences prior to making a decision on its implementation; No . - search for environmentally and economically sound design solutions that contribute to Inv preventing or minimizing the potential impact of the proposed activity on the environment and public . health; Repl - take effective measures to minimize the harmful effects of the planned activities on the environment and public health; - determine the possibility (impossibility) of the implementation of the planned activity on a particular land plot. The EIA is performed for the estimated (least favorable) state of the environment and the combination of the influencing factors for the estimated period of operation of the designed facility and includes the identification of the significant level of all identified impacts and the permissible level Signaturedate and of each significant type of impacts for each component of the environment on the road adjacent . territory. As a result of the EIA, a conclusion is made about the admissibility (or inadmissibility) of the Page 002-17- EIA Original inv.No Meas. Quant.

The environmental impact assessment of the reconstructed facility was carried out by the specialists of the department of technical, economic and environmental justifications of the “Belgiprodor” State Enterprise. According to Article 8 of the “Regulation on the Procedure for Conducting Environmental Impact Assessment, Requirements for the Composition of the Environmental Impact Assessment Report, Requirements for Experts Performing Environmental Impact Assessments” (approved by Resolution of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Belarus No. 47 of 19 January 2017), the impact assessment is carried out for the facility as a whole; it is not allowed to carry out an impact assessment at individual work stages, construction stages, start-up complexes allocated in the project documentation for the facility. In accordance with the requirements of Article 5 of the Law of the Republic of Belarus "On State Ecological Expertise, Strategic Environmental Assessment and Environmental Impact Assessment" No. 399-3 dated 18 July 2016, pre-project documentation for the reconstruction of the P-80 Sloboda- Papernya road, 0.000 km - 14.770 km, is subject to the state environmental review.
