This project was screened A/0, requiring an environmental impact assessment (EIA) for the proposed investment project. An EIA study was carried out by an independent local consultant.
The findings of the EIA indicate that some environmental impacts will be caused by civil engineering works, such as higher noise levels, dust caused by soil excavation and management and disposal of excavated soil and waste. These impacts will be temporary and will be managed by applying international good working practices.
Once the waste-water treatment plant is completed, its operation will cause limited local impacts such as aerosol emissions, odour and noise, and will require adequate provisions to prevent chemical spills and to ensure adequate sludge management. Relevant mitigation measures are proposed and will be implemented during construction, start-up and subsequent operation and maintenance of this facility.
A monitoring programme will be prepared, which will include monitoring of surface water quality (the river Sava), sludge management and disposal, ground-water quality and air emissions. Noise level and any potential impact on flora and fauna will also be monitored according to Croatian and EU environmental standards.
There is an Environmental Impact Assesment available for this project.
