E1592 V 6 Non Technical Summary E1592 V 6 Non Technical Summary Project Overview Public Disclosure Authorized The town of Ogulin in northern Croatia has long-held problems of wastewater and stormwater treatment and disposal. At present the majority of the households discharge their wastewater without prior treatment into septic tanks or directly into the nearby sinkholes where it enters the local groundwaters. Stormwater drainage is disposed of in a similar manner, and the increase in hard surfaces that has accompanied urbanisation has resulted in not only a considerable increase in the flow of stormwaters, but also in their levels of pollution. Heavy precipitation also commonly results in clogging of sinkholes and local flooding, which in turn impacts on local hygiene, ecology and economy. The proposed project would involve the establishment of a 13 km trunk sewer and associated branch lines for the collection of domestic and industrial sewage effluent from the town of Ogulin and stormwater from high flood risk area. Effluent from the Public Disclosure Authorized proposed sewer infrastructure will flow to a new tertiary wastewater treatment plant which will use biological means to treat the sewerage effluent to an acceptable standard before discharge to the groundwater environment via an adjacent sinkhole1. The plant will produce a stabilised sludge, which will be disposed of to an appropriately engineered domestic landfill. The proposed sewer system and wastewater treatment plant will be developed in a number of stages: Phase 1: An initial trunk sewer has already been installed to collect stormwater from high risk flood areas of the town. The stormwater effluent will be pumped in phase 2 to the wastewater treatment plant, where it will be treated mechanically via an oil and sand trap before discharge to the adjacent Public Disclosure Authorized sinkhole. Phase 2: Under this phase further sewers will be built, together with the wastewater treatment plant to allow the treatment of wastewaters to a tertiary standard. The plant will use an activated sludge and membrane filtration methodology before discharge of treated effluent to the adjacent sinkhole. The sewers constructed in phase 1 will be extended in phase 2 to become a partly combined sewerage system. Subsequent to the commissioning of the phase 2 tertiary treatment plant it is envisaged that further domestic houses and industrial premises will continue to connect to the sewer infrastructure thereby decreasing the regions current reliance on septic tank infrastructure. It is envisaged that during the transition phase contents of septic tanks will be able to be treated in the plant. Public Disclosure Authorized 1 Such solution has been confirmed by exploring the underground and testing ground absorption in abysses, presented in the study “Geomehaniko-geofiziki istrani radovi - ure aj za proiavanje otpadnih voda grada Ogulina“, prepared by “Geokon“, Zagreb (October 1999, no. E-090-99), as well as by previously prepared studies and tests conducted on the field. Project Setting The town of Ogulin is located in the Ogulin-Plaški valley, a hilly area some 300 m above sea level, and rising to 500-600 m in higher elevations. The valley is comprised of two karst fields, the Ogulin and Plaški Fields, made of highly pervious layers of limestone and dolomite, characterized by long cave systems such as the ula’s Precipice- Medvednica Cave complex. The Ogulin administrative region covers an area of 542 km2, comprising about 15% of the total area of the County of Karlovac. The town itself belongs to a sparsely populated area of Croatia and according to the 1991 Population Census had a population of some 16,732 people (9.1% of the county’s population). The town’s economy is based primarily on transportation, and, traditionally on forestry and agriculture, although tourism is becoming increasingly important, with the Croatian Olympic Centre Bjelolasica and Lake Sabljaci located nearby. Ogulin lies within the catchment of the Dobra River, which flows into the town from the west in a deep gorge, before sinking underground in a large sinkhole, known locally as the ula ponor. Once underground, the river flows through an extensive cave system before emerging approximately 4km to the north-east and flowing in a general north-easterly direction towards Karlovac, approximately 40km distant. The area is considered highly sensitive and the potentially grave consequences of local pollution mean that the construction of the sewerage system and wastewater treatment works have been long been a priority of the town. In addition, and approximately once per year after intense rainfall events and Spring snow melt, the capacity of the Dobra sinkhole is insufficient to cope with the high river flows generated, resulting in flooding of the town centre. With the exception of the drainage features associated with the Dobra River, the surface drainage network tends to be poorly developed due to the permeability of the surface soils and underlying bedrock. Less intense rainfall tends to infiltrate the ground rapidly, where it causes dissolution of the carbonate substrata and results in the formation of dissolution features and the typical karst topography. As a result, most of the drainage infrastructure within the town, such as from rooftops and highways, has historically been to soakaway, and emerges as springs in the valley of the Dobra River, although some is also known to emerge in the valley of the Mrenica River, to the south-east.The current discharge of wastewater and sewage to solution features, is reflected in the water quality of the main springs around the town, which show evidence of high concentrations of faecal bacteria2. Croatia is amongst one of the most biologically rich countries in Europe and supports an unusually high concentration of endemic species, with the karst ecosystems considered especially valuable. The aquatic habitats within the system support a unique flora and fauna with several endemic species of fish, invertebrates and amphibians of particular note (for example some 11 species of fish are known to live 2 Data from five of the main springs located in the vicinity of the town (Tounjica, Bistrac, Peina, Gojak and Kukaa) indicate consistent contamination by faecal coliforms, at times in excess of 2400 counts/100ml. As these bacteria do not live long outside the gut, the data also suggest a relatively rapid transportation of the contamination from ground surface to the spring sources (ie of the order of a few days only), consistent with groundwater movement through mature karst systems. only within the karst region of Croatia, with the cave dwelling species even more unique, diverse and restricted in their range). The flora and fauna of the Karst areas are threatened by numerous activities including the following: • changes in water regimen (drainage, regulation of watercourses, etc.) • physical changes (eg. backfilling or natural overgrowing, particularly related to smaller wetland habitats) • biological changes (excessive exploitation of certain resources or introduction of foreign species) and • pollution of watercourses. The proposed wastewater treatment plant would be located within an area of secondary regrowth and ephemeral scrub3 at the outskirts of the town. The designated land is within a state-owned area of the “Krpel” hunting-ground, a large area of some 3000 ha of forest and agricultural land which supports such species as deer, boar, brown bear, hare, partridge, duck, pheasant fox, badger, pine marten, and polecat. The scrub habitats present at the proposed WTW site are however common within the Ogulin area and not considered to be of significant ecological value and no uncommon species have been recorded from the site itself. 3 the invasive plant species Japanese Knotweed was also present on several areas of the site, and should be controlled during construction Project Impacts & Mitigation Impacts arising during construction of the sewerage network and wastewater treatment plant will be primarily restricted to nuisance impacts (including noise, dust, traffic impacts) as well as physical impacts. Careful planning and scheduling of the works will be used to minimise such impacts, whilst project design (eg drainage profiling) has been undertaken for optimal functionality and minimal impact, including protection of neighbouring facilities from physical damage and planning of post construction environmental restoration. During operation, the properly ventilated sewerage systems should have no significant adverse impacts. Careful grading of the system and good sewer maintenance will be used to avoid the risk of odours arising from the retention of wastewaters in anaerobic conditions in the pipelines, or from sludge deposition within the pipelines arising from low wastewater flows. The engineering design has also been undertaken to avoid the need for overflow disposal of rainwaters under general storm conditions, and care has also been taken to design protection of concrete and equipment from the corroding effect of aggressive wastewater. Potential impacts arising from the operation of the wastewater treatment plant are likely to be limited to the following: liquid wastes, solid wastes, odours and noise impacts. The key environmental mitigation for the operational WWTP has been the development of an adequate engineering design, and the siting of the plant at the outskirts of the town. Specific issue mitigation is proposed as follows: • Water Quality: The aquatic ecology of the caste ecosystem is

  • Serbia and the Serbian Rebellion in Croatia (1990-1991)
    Serbia and the Serbian Rebellion in Croatia (1990-1991) By Harry Jack Hayball Thesis submitted to Goldsmiths College, University of London, for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy April 2015 Supervised by Professor Jan Plamper 2 Declaration All the work presented in this thesis is my own. Harry Jack Hayball Declaration 3 Abstract It is often suggested that the Serbian rebellion in Croatia in 1990-91 was orchestrated by Serbia, and, in particular, by its president Slobodan Milošević personally. Despite the popularity of this interpretation, however, the literature on the break-up of Yugoslavia is yet to offer a focused study of Serbia's role in the descent into conflict in Croatia. Many sources that have become available in recent years remain unused. Through a critical and cautious use of such sources, including extensive interviews with participants in the conflict and contemporary documentation, this thesis aims to fill this gap in the literature and to update our knowledge of this important aspect of the bloody disintegration of Yugoslavia. Honing in on Belgrade's relationships with Serb political and military/paramilitary leaders in Croatia, as well as Serbia's direct involvement in and attitude towards the road to war, it concludes that the existing focus on Milošević's Serbia has been misplaced. Serbia's stance towards Croatia was hardline, but Belgrade's influence over the Croatian Serbs was limited and its direct involvement in events minimal. Milošević did not have a grand plan to orchestrate violence in Croatia, and the leaders of the Serbian rebellion in Croatia were fundamentally independent and autonomous actors, who, far from being Milošević's puppets, were often in conflict with him.

  • Croatia Replies to Questionnaire on 3Rd PR
    Strasbourg, 21 May 2007 MIN-LANG/PR (2006) 4 Addendum 2 EUROPEAN CHARTER FOR REGIONAL OR MINORITY LANGUAGES Third Periodical Report presented to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe in accordance with Article 15 of the Charter CROATIA Replies to Comments/questions submitted to the Government of Croatia regarding its Third Periodical Report Preliminary Section 1. Before the Republic of Croatia became independent, the Constitution of the former state guaranteed the status of a constitutive nation to Croats, Serbs, Slovenes, Montenegrins, Macedonians and Bosniaks (which were at that time called "Muslims"). The status of a national minority in the former state was enjoyed by: Italians, Hungarians, Czechs, Slovaks, Ruthenians, the Roma, Ukrainians, Albanians, Vlachs and Jews. After independence, the Republic of Croatia granted the status of a national minority to the existing national minorities and to all the constitutive nations from the territory of the former state. With the adoption of the Constitutional Act on the Rights of National Minorities, which recognised the status of a national minority to each ethnic group guided by the wish for the preservation of its special characteristics, the number of national minorities in Croatia increased, so there are 22 national minorities in Croatia today. On the basis of the Constitution of the former state and the Public Administration Act, which was then in force, in 1981 the Decree on the manner of, and the conditions for the use of languages and scripts of national minorities in proceedings before public administration bodies and organisations vested with public authority was passed ( Official Gazette , no.

    Original Article Clinical and virological characteristics of hantavirus infections in a 2014 Croatian outbreak Tatjana Vilibic-Cavlek1,2*, Alena Furic3*, Ljubo Barbic4, Irena Tabain1, Vladimir Stevanovic4, Gordana Mlinaric-Galinovic1,2 1 Department of Virology, Croatian National Institute of Public Health, Zagreb, Croatia 2 School of Medicine University of Zagreb, Zagreb, Croatia 3 Department of Internal Medicine, General Hospital Ogulin, Ogulin, Croatia 4 Department of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases with Clinic, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine University of Zagreb, Zagreb, Croatia * Both authors contibuted equally to this work Abstract Introduction: Croatia is endemic for hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS), with both Puumala (PUUV) and Dobrava virus (DOBV) documented. Several large outbreaks were recorded in 1995, 2002, and 2012. We analyzed demographic, clinical, laboratory, and virological characteristics of HFRS cases detected in three geographically close natural foci (Ogulin, Slunj, and the Plitvice Lakes surroundings) during the 2014 outbreak. Methodology: From January to December 2014, 122 patients with suspected HFRS were tested for hantavirus IgM/IgG antibodies using an indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA). Cross-reactive samples were further tested using a western blot (WB). For hospitalized patients from Ogulin area, clinical and laboratory data were analyzed. Results: Acute infection was documented in 57 (46.7%) patients, of whom 75.4% were hospitalized. Ten (8.2%) patients were found to be IgG seropositive. Patients were 15–69 years of age and predominantly male (74.5%). The outbreak started in winter months, with most cases recorded from May to July (80.7%). The most frequently reported symptoms were fever (96.3%), chills/shivering (62.9%), and lumbar pain (48.1%).

  • Demografski Nestanak Ogulinskoga Kraja I Njegova Uvjetovanost Prometnom Dostupnošću

Nikola Šimunić asistent — znanstveni novak Institut Ivo Pilar — Područni centar Gospić Trg Stjepana Radića 4/I 53 000 Gospić nikola.simunic@pilar.hr Ivo Turk — Nikola Šimunić Demografski nestanak ogulinskoga kraja i njegova uvjetovanost prometnom dostupnošću Ogulinski kraj obuhvaća južni i jugozapadni dio Karlovačke županije. Može se poistovjetiti s teritorijalnim obuhvatom nekadašnje općine Ogulin koja je postojala prije uspostavljanja današnjega županijskog teritorijalnog ustroja. Danas je taj prostor u sastavu grada Ogulina i sljedećih općina: Josipdol, Plaški, Saborsko i Tounj. Ovaj je prostor, jednako kao i cjelokupna Karlovačka županija, u dubokoj demografskoj krizi. Karlovačka županija svrstava se u red hrvatskih županija s najnepovoljnijim demografskim pokazateljima. Uz to, pojedini dijelovi ogulinskog kraja, poput općine Saborsko, pripadaju skupi- ni gradova/općina s najnepovoljnijim demografskim stanjem i trendovima u Karlovačkoj županiji. Depopulacija u Karlovačkoj županiji i ogulinskom kraju započela je osjetno ranije nego u Hrvatskoj, ako se ona razmatra u cjelini, i njezina je dugotrajna prisutnost veliki remetilački čimbenik ekonomskog razvoja. Na pojavu depopulacije utjecalo je mnogo čimbenika, od kojih va- lja istaknuti izostanak socijalno–geografske transformacije ruralnih prostora nakon razvoja urbano bazirane industrijalizacije koja je potakla migraciju se- lo–grad. Ogulinski je kraj pretežito ruralan i relativno je periferno položen u odnosu na županijski centar Karlovac. Ključne riječi: depopulacija, iseljavanje, Karlovačka županija, ogulinski kraj, vremenska prometna dostupnost. 95 zzbornik_modrus09_10.inddbornik_modrus09_10.indd SSec1:95ec1:95 118.1.2018.8.1.2018.
