INTRODUCTIONThroughout the territory of the Republic of North Macedonia, the accommodation capacities

of the institutions for preschool children do not meet the needs of the citizens, resulting into low percentage of accommodated preschool children. Having in mind such data, the Ministry of Labor and Social Policy, with financial support of the World Bank, has commenced the realization of the Social Services Improvement Project which envisages increase in the capacities of the existing institutions through their reconstructions, upgrading or construction of new facilities.

The Kisela Voda Municipality has applied with a project for construction of a kindergarten in the urban part of the Kisela Voda Municipality, Drachevo neighborhood. The location envisaged for construction is with surface of 600 m2 and envisages accommodation of 135 children. The realization of the envisaged project activities for kindergarten construction in the Kisela Voda Municipality shall provide for more quality conditions for accommodation of children, as well as increase in the current capacities in the Drachevo neighborhood.

In accordance with the legal requirements in the field of environment, when preparing such type of projects, it is necessary to submit a Notice of intent for commencement of a project to the Ministry of Environment and Physical Planning (MoEPP) which initiates the environmental impact assessment procedure. According to the legal requirements, the Kisela Voda Municipality shall have to prepare a Letter of Intent to commence a project and submit it to the MoEPP, followed by preparation of an Opinion by the Ministry of Environment and Physical Planning determining whether the Project for kindergarten construction in the Kisela Voda Municipality, with its specifics, is in accordance with the Appendix to the Regulation for activities for which Report has to be prepared, and whose approval is under the competence of the mayor of the municipality (Official Gazette of the Republic of Macedonia No 32/12) or the Mayor of Skopje or the mayor of the municipality, chapter X – Infrastructure projects, item 5 Social protection facilities. The Report shall be prepared in accordance with Article 24 of the Law on Environment (Official Gazette of the Republic of Macedonia No 53/05, 81/05, 24/07, 159/08, 83/09, 48/10, 124/10, 51/11, 123/12, 93/13, 187/13, 42/14, 44/15, 129/15, 192/15, 39/16 and 98/18) and the Rulebook on the form and contents of the Report for environmental protection in accordance with the types of activities for which the report is being prepared, as well as in accordance with the entities performing the activity and the scope of activities being performed by the legal and natural entities, the procedure for their approval, as well as the method for keeping of the register of approved reports (Official Gazette of the Republic of Macedonia No 44/13, 111/14).

If according to the Opinion of the MoEPP, a Report shall have to be prepared, the Kisela Voda Municipality shall prepare the Report and submit it to the MLSP together with the Decision for its approval.

By implementing the requirements of the World Bank, an Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) was prepared as part of the Social Services Improvement Project of the MLSP of RNM; it was prepared in May 2018 by the Environmental and Social Safeguards Specialist. ESMF was selected as the most appropriate tool for conducting an in-depth analysis of the environmental and social issues. The objective of ESMF is to ensure that the proposed project is being conducted in accordance with the environmental and social issues standards of the World


Bank, the policies for protection and the local environment protection legislation which is to be used as practical tool during designing, implementation and monitoring of Project activities.

In accordance with the nature, size, location, as well as the specifics of the potential environmental impacts during the construction of the kindergarten in Kisela Voda Municipality, the project was classified as category B+ project/project with significant risk, which requires the preparation of an Initial limited impact assessment with an Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP).

3 MAIN DATA 3.1 Climate features

The Municipality of Kisela Voda is under the influence of continental and Mediterranean climate. Its position and local orographic conditions have particular influence on the climate features. The average annual air temperature in the Kisela Voda Municipality is 12,5 ᵒC. The absolute minimal temperature in this neighborhood is 22,9 ᵒC, whereas the annual maximal temperature is +41,2 ᵒC. Kisela Voda Municipality is characterized with hot summers, sometimes rather hot and dry, and moderate, cold winters. Autumn is relatively warmer than spring.

3.2 Seismology

The subject location is on the territory of the Kisela Voda Municipality, and from the seismological map of RNM it can be observed that it belongs to areas that are subject to frequent and strong earthquakes, caused by the local and more distant epicenters.

According to the expected seismic intensities, this location is exposed to quakes exceeding intensity IX according to the Mercalli intensity scale. In addition, the Katlanovo – Mirkovechki fault, one of the most active faults in the Skopje valley, is in the vicinity of the location, more specifically from the west side. In general terms, the terrains with Pliocene sediments are favorable for construction, with exclusion of the possibility for occurrence of catastrophic earthquakes during the exploitation duration of the facilities.

3.3 Water

The wider area of the Municipality of Kisela Voda is part of the territory of the Vardar river basin, presenting the largest water potential in the Republic of North Macedonia. There are other water resources on the territory of the Kisela Voda Municipality, i.e. Markova river and Mala Rada (village


Drachevo), and there is presence of ground water. Markova River is the right tributary of the Vardar River, flowing south from the City of Skopje in length of 30 kilometers. The waters of Markova River are solely used for irrigation of the cornfields, fields with wheat and the orchards in the villages Varvara and Markova Sushica, and for watering of the cattle in the upper flow (Markova Sushica) and extraction of sand for concrete in the Batinci village. In accordance with the Regulation for categorization of water streams, lakes, reservoirs and ground waters (Official Gazette of the Republic of Macedonia No 18/99), these water streams belong to the river of category II (river with eutrophic status, low level of organic load, high level of auto-purification, etc.).

3.4 Air quality

In the Republic of North Macedonia, monitoring of the ambience air quality is performed by the Ministry of Environment and Physical Planning, which manages the State automatic air quality system composed of 17 measuring stations of which 5 are located in Skopje, and the closest measuring station to the project location is the one in the Lisiche neighborhood, in the south-west part of Skopje. In this air quality measuring station, monitoring is performed of the following:

- Sulphur dioxide - Nitrogen dioxide - Carbon monoxide- Ozone - Suspended particles with size of 10 micrometers (PM10)

The sources of suspended particles are burning of fossil fuels and biofuels, different industrial processes, traffic, incineration of waste and wild fires. One of the most important sources is heating of homes and administrative capacities, mainly due to the incomplete incineration of wood in the old furnaces. The average annual concentration of PM10 at the Lisiche measuring point in 2017 amounted 80 µg/m3, and there were 144 days in the year in which the annual Upper Value was exceeded. Error:Reference source not found presents the average annual concentration of PM10 and the number of exceeding the values in 2017.

Image 10 Average annual concentration of PM10 and the number of exceeded values in the year


In the Republic of North Macedonia, the key and dominant source of Sulphur oxides in the air are the processes of burning of fuels (coal and fuel-oil) during electricity production with 92 %. The average annual concentration of Sulphur oxides at the Lisiche measuring point is 3 µg/m3, whereas the average concentration in winter is 4 µg/m3. The average SO2 concentrations at this measuring station have not exceeded the threshold values (Error: Reference source not found).

Image 11 Average annual concentration of SO2

Carbon monoxide is formed during the incomplete incineration of fuels in internal combustion engines and energy plants, as well as during different industrial processes, public institutions and households. Maximal daily eight-hour mean values of carbon monoxide for the measuring point Lisiche amounted 10 mg/m3 for 2017.

Image 12 Maximal daily eight-hour median values of the CO concentration


3.5 Waste

Significant number of industrial and economic capacities has been located on the territory of the Kisela Voda Municipality; therefore, it can be indicated that almost all types of waste are being generated: communal waste, industrial hazardous and non-hazardous waste, inert waste, packaging waste, as well as special types of waste.

Communal waste is generated by natural entities from the households and the commercial waste. The average annual generation of communal waste at national level for 2015 amounted 786 tonnes, and at the level of the Kisela Voda Municipality, 380 kg per resident have been generated.

Industrial non-hazardous waste is generated during the industrial production processes and it does not contain any hazardous features, whereas according to the properties, composition and quantity, it differs from the communal waste. This waste is most often disposed at the local industrial landfills together with the remaining process waste.

In accordance with the Law on Management of Packaging and Packaging Waste, the requirements for environmental protection are regulated, which have to be complied with by the packaging during its production, release on the market and use. The quantity of packaging waste released on the market in 2014 was 59.572,83 tonnes, of which about 25.000 tonnes on the territory of the City of Skopje. The total percentage of packaging waste recycling for 2014 was 27,08 %, whereas the percentage of recovery or incineration in furnaces for incineration of waste with energy recovery was 27,38 %.

Inert waste is waste which is resistant and is not subject to any significant physical, chemical or biological transformations, is not soluble, does not incinerate and does not react to another physical or chemical manner. Due to lack of records, the inert waste data are rather limited and cannot be foreseen. This waste is generated during the execution of construction, craftsmanship and processing activities.

Medical waste is generated in the medical and health institutions. The quantity of reported generated medical waste for 2015 at the level of the Republic of North Macedonia was 704,61 tonnes. The medical waste generated in the infirmaries is separately collected by the PCU “Komunalna higiena” and is transported to the incinerator in Drisla. 2,6 tonnes of medical waste is annually collected from the daily hospital for treatment of addictions in the Kisela Voda neighborhood.

3.6 Geology and soil

The territory of the Kisela Voda Municipality is a relatively young geological structure created by tectonic means. The entire territory of the Kisela Voda Municipality was created by tectonic sinking of the earth in the southwest-northeast direction. According to the geological mapping of the wider area, quaternary sediments are present, of which the Miocene (MC) and Pliocene (PI3) sediments are with more significant presentation and are represented by sand, clay, clay soil and quaternary proluvial sediments (pr) represented by gravel material mixed with sand and clay substances.

The following types of soil can be found on the territory of the Kisela Voda Municipality: vertisol, fluvial soil, cinnamonic forest soil, rendzina soil and vertisol, anthropogenically modified, limey-Dolomite dark soil, colluvial soil, cinnamonic forest soil and vertisol.

3.7 Flora and fauna

Forests and pastures within the borders of the Kisela Voda Municipality are in state or private ownership and their plans are not managed. Most of the forest areas, as a result of their proximity to the inhabited areas have been transformed into arable lands, pastures, vineyards or orchards. In phytocenological terms, the following forest associations and sub-associations are currently represented on the territory of the Kisela Voda Municipality:

1. Ass. Querco-Carpinetum orientalis macedonicum – subass. Querco-Carpinetum orientalis macedonicum buxetosum

This forest community on the territory of the Kisela Voda Municipality is currently distributed on a greater number of smaller localities on the hilly area, next to the locality Tri Krushi – Drachevo, locality Porupa – Drachevo, Chuprijan – Drachevo. They can be found at shallow limestone soils, shallow rocky silicate soils, and develop at almost all expositions, up to altitude of 600 meters.

The following species of vertebrates and invertebrates can be found in this forest community: grasshopper, butterflies, carabidae, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals (wild cat, wild boar, rodents, hedgehog, squirrel)

2. Ass. Helianthemo-Euphorbietum thessalae Mic. 1973

This community inhabits the abandoned agricultural areas and the bare forest areas in the oak region in the hilly-mountain area of the Vodno park-forest.

Animal species are similar to those described for the previous community.

3. Ass. Salicetum albe

Near the water streams of Markova River and Mala Rada, in Drachevo, riparian vegetation was formed, which is characterized by specific floral composition mainly due to the influence of the water streams. The biotope is characterized with continuous humidity, light structure and texture of the soil. The following species can be found in this community: mammals (small rodents, small carnivore species, fox), birds, reptiles (grass snake) and amphibians (lake frog).

4. Ass. Tamarici-Salicetum amplexycaulis

This community is a shrub with pioneering importance, and occurs along Markova river. This biotope is


mainly a shrubland where Tamarix parviflora and Salix amplexicaulis are dominant. These shrub species form the specific plant community Tamarici-Salicetum amplexicaulis (Kárpáti 1962) Em 1967. It develops on sandy and gravel river drifts. The stands are flooded during the spring period. In the herb layer, Lycopus europaeus, Equisetum arvense, Juncus articulatus, Mentha longifolia, Agrostis alba etc. are common. In addition, numerous annual species from the neighboring areas are common.

3.8 SENSITIVE RECEPTORS The construction of the new kindergarten shall be executed in an urban inhabited area, i.e. in the

Drachevo neighborhood in the Kisela Voda Municipality. The main sensitive receptors within the subject scope shall be: children, parents and employees of the existing kindergarten, students of the primary school Rajko Zhinzifov, as well as the residents living in the individual housing facilities. As a result from the above, the main attention and preventive measures should be directed toward them.


4 POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT AND RISK, AND IMPACT AND RISK ASSESSMENT

The implementation of the project activities for construction of the kindergarten in the Kisela Voda Municipality shall be executed in the following project phases: preparatory phase (marking of the project location and placement of safety signalization) and construction phase (construction of civil engineering structure with structural elements – carpentry, sewage, water supply, electricity, etc.). Potential impact and risks which could potentially result from the above project phases, shall be identified and described in the following project phases: preparatory phase, construction phase and operational phase of the facility. Error: Reference source not found provides a tabular presentation of the expected / potential adverse environmental and social impact and risks from the execution of the project activities.

During the realization of the envisaged project activities (described in the sub-chapter “Project activities”), no significant environmental impact is expected. The potential impact on the environment, as well as on the health and safety of workers and of the population can be perceived through the occurrence of incidental injuries/ accidents related to the inappropriate construction site management; increased noise and air emission levels from the operations of the construction machinery and equipment; and generation of waste and its inappropriate management.


5 MEASURES FOR MINIMIZING POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL IMPACT AND RISKS

Aspect: Health and safety of workers and local population

In location terms, the project activities shall take place in the urban area of the Kisela Voda Municipality (in the Drachevo neighborhood). For the purposes of preventing potential injuries of the employees and health risks for the local population, the Contractor shall be obliged to prepare and implement an Occupational Health and Safety Plan. In addition, the Contractor shall be obliged: 1) to fence, mark and secure the construction site with safety signalization; 2) to secure uninterrupted transport of goods and people within the subject location during the project activities through preparation and implementation of the Traffic Management Plan. Prior the commencement of the project, it is necessary to publish an Information/ Announcement on the type and duration of the project activities so as to inform the local population, wider public and to disseminate the information through the urban local community of the municipality “Boban Trpkov” (in the neighborhood Drachevo), municipal information board or the municipal website (http://www.kiselavoda.gov.mk/).

At the same time, as general measure for minimizing potential risks from implementation of this project phase, it is recommended for the project activities to be executed during the summer period (during the summer holidays) due to the reduced frequency of children and the local population living near the project location.

General risk/impact assessment: Potential impact on this aspect is expected to be adverse, direct, with significant importance, at local level.

Aspect: Noise In accordance with the national legislation for environmental noise protection (Official Gazette of

the Republic of Macedonia No 79/07, 124/10, 47/11 and 163/13 and 146/15) and the Rulebook on the locations of measuring stations and measuring points (Official Gazette of the Republic of Macedonia No 120/08), the subject location belongs to an area of II noise protection level where the noise values shall not exceed the threshold values of 45 dB(A) for the night period and 55 dB(A) for the day and evening period. Such classification of the project location (regarding the noise protection) is in accordance with the presence of the sensitive receptors located in the vicinity - houses of the local population and the primary school Rajko Zhinzifov. Therefore, the Contractor shall be obliged to respect the proposed preventive measures in the Plan for mitigation of adverse impact on the environment, as well as the requirements pursuant with the national noise protection legislation.

Adverse noise impact is expected to occur as a result of the usage of the construction machinery and equipment at open areas, movement of vehicles during the project activities, with expected increased level of noise and vibrations generated in the environment.

General risk/impact assessment: Noise impact during the construction phase is expected to be adverse, short-term with high magnitude and of local importance.

Aspect: Air quality Air emissions are expected from the realization of project activities as a result of the project

activities in the preparatory phase and the kindergarten construction phase. During the clearing of the terrain and disposal of the earth material in the preparatory phase, fugitive air emissions are expected, as well as mobile sources of air emissions from the operations of the construction machinery. During the

http://www.kiselavoda.gov.mk/


construction phase, air emissions are also expected as a result of the operations of the construction machinery to be used for transport of workers, construction material, excess earth, etc.

During the operational phase of the kindergarten, the air quality impact is expected from the heating system due to burning of the pellets as energy fuel.

The construction equipment and machinery, as well as the vehicles to be used at the project location, shall be maintained with authorized maintenance shops, shall be in accordance with the relevant standards for emissions and their speed shall be adjusted against the prescribed speed in the Traffic Plan for movement in and around the construction site. During excavation and transport of excavated earth, occurrence of dust is expected, which can be reduced or fully avoided by spraying the earth with water.

Some of the measures to be undertaken to reduce the potential air pollution are as follows: construction materials shall be kept at appropriate locations so as to reduce the dust dispersion in the environment and the vehicles and the construction machinery shall have to be regularly maintained (washing of wheels). It is necessary to appropriately cover the material being transported by the vehicles which could cause dust emissions, so as to minimize and eliminate adverse impact on the local population around the construction site.

General risk/impact assessment: Air emissions impact is assessed as local and adverse, with short-term significance.

Aspect: Management with the created waste fractions The following generated waste fractions are expected, as a result from the realization of

construction works: excavation of earth, waste from clearing of the project location alignment (vegetation, construction waste, etc.) and communal waste generated by the employees. The Bill of Quantity of the Main Design specifies the fractions and quantities of generated waste presented in Error:Reference source not found. Generated waste fractions shall have to be selected and classified in accordance with the List of Types of Waste (Official Gazette of the Republic of Macedonia No 100/05). In order to meet the legal requirements for proper waste management, the Contractor shall be obliged to develop and implement a Waste Management Plan which shall define the guidelines and directions for proper management of the generated waste. In addition, the Contractor shall have to sign a Contract for collection of the generated waste by authorized entities for waste collection. In the Kisela Voda Municipality, the PCU “Komunalna higiena” from Skopje is the entity responsible for collection of the communal waste which is disposed on the Drisla landfill (located at about 4,8 km south-east of the project location).

Excavation of earth 17 05 06 – excavated earth not mentioned in 17 05 05 555 m3

According to the initial conducted field visit of the project location for construction of a kindergarten in the Kisela Voda Municipality, presence of high forest vegetation (trees) is established. It is recommended, if possible, not to cut the mentioned trees. If it cannot be avoided, appropriate vegetation is recommended to be planted, after the facility is constructed.

General risk/impact assessment: Waste management impact in the construction phase shall be adverse, short-term with significant importance and at local level.


Aspect: Impact on surface and ground water and soil

Markova River (right tributary to the river Vardar) is passing in the extended environment of the project location (about 700 m south-west of the project location). In accordance with the Regulation for categorization of water streams, lakes, reservoirs and ground waters (Official Gazette of the Republic of Macedonia No 18/99), these water streams belong to rivers of category II (river with eutrophic status, low level of organic load, high level of auto-purification, etc.). During and after completion of the project activities, temporary or final disposal of waste is prohibited (contaminated soil with motor oils from the construction machinery, etc.) near or in the riverbed of Markova River, thus avoiding the impairment of the water quality in this river recipient.

General risk/impact assessment: Water and soil impact is expected as direct, adverse at local level, with low magnitude.

Aspect: Biodiversity impact

There are no recorded protected areas of nature or endemic, endangered or relict species which could be adversely affected from the realization of the project activities in the closer environment of the project scope. The following protected areas are located in the wider project location environment in the Kisela Voda Municipality: PA Ostrovo (about 4 km north of the project location); Park-forest Vodno (about 7km west of the project location); and Park-forest Gazi Baba (at about 8,5 km north-west of the project location).

PA “Ostrovo” Park forest “Vodno”Image 14 Protected areas in the wider environment of the project location

General risk/impact assessment: Since these protected areas are located in the wider environment of the subject scope, the realization of project activities shall not cause any adverse impact on the existing biodiversity.

Aspect: Cultural heritage One of the more important localities, in terms of cultural heritage, located in the extended

environment of the subject scope, is the monastery complex “Pelenica” (at about 3 km south-west from the project location).

General risk/impact assessment: The implementation of project activities shall not cause any adverse impact on this important cultural heritage locality.

In order to avoid the adverse impact from the project implementation (described in this chapter), complying with the national legal requirements of all above-stated aspects (health and safety of workers and local population, waste, noise, air, etc.) by the Contractor is of particular importance, as well as his


cooperation and timely communication (through regular organization of meetings) with all involved parties of the project: Mayor, Engineer, Environment Inspector, Communal Inspector, Head of Project from the Kisela Voda Municipality, MLSP Implementation Unit, employees of the kindergarten (Director, educational personnel, etc.) and other relevant persons. During the project, the Head of the Project from the Kisela Voda Municipality shall have to prepare Reports every 2 weeks and submit them to the MLSP Implementation Unit.

The tables presented below provide the impact assessment from the project activities in the construction project phase, and provide detailed descriptions of the main measures for reduction of the adverse impact on the environment media, as well as the monitoring of their implementation.
