Croatia, as soon as it enters into EU, is expected to fully apply SEA Directive and also UNECE SEA Protocol which was signed and ratified by Croatia. Proper application of SEA will at the same time become one of the core conditionalities for the future use of EU Funds in 2014-2020. SEA legaly required in Croatia since June 2008, however only few full SEAs were conducted in coutry over the past five years. This sharply contracts with the scale of practice in other countires, where typically hundreds of SEAs would be implemented during the same period. Initial consultations within an EU co-financed IPA project ‘Strengthening capacities for strategic environmental assessment (SEA) at regional and local level’ indicated the need to: • Strengthen the screening system – apply SEA to all plans that need it • Ensure an early start of the SEA process, • Improve communication between planners and SEA experts, • Focus SEAs only on key strategic issues and simplify the assessment approach, • Make sure that SEA is used for comparing alternatives and informing decision-making on proposed plans and programmes The paper presents key recommendations on the above topics that were elaborated throuzgh consultations with Croatian officials and experts by the project team. Keywords: SEA, Croatia, EU Directive, IPA project Experience in Transposition and Implementation of the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) in Slovenia Vesna Kolar Planinši 1, Jelka Habjan1, Tomaž Grilj1, Barbara Breznik1, Mojca Lenardi 1, Jure Likar1, Metka ernel 1, Katarina Celi 1 1 Ministry of Agriculture and the Environment, Dunajska 48, Ljubljana, Slovenia (vesna.kolar-planinsic@gov.si) Abstract The SEA Directive was transposed by the Environmental Law in 2003 and decrees, when the first SEA implementation phase started followed by administrative and other measures according to EU guidelines. The Ministry of Agriculture and the Environment is the competent national authority for SEA and all related directives. In the following three years the relations and cooperation between the authorities in the SEA process were developed and regularly proceed. In 2010 Slovenia entered the OECD and improved its capacities and procedure according to the regulation and guidelines on SEA. The article presents practical experiences in the period 2006–2013 in all essential phases of SEA – screening, scoping, environmental report preparation, quality assurance and public participation and the final environmental decision for different public plans and programmes, such as land use, spatial planning, transport, energy, waste, agriculture, fisheries, forest management and tourism. The overall statistics with the reasons for SEA are presented for a 6-year period. In this period 1,827 screening decisions were accepted along with 178 final decision for plans and programmes at the national and municipality levels. The information on the screening and final decisions has been available to the public. At the same time, the relevant experts have also been organised on the NGO. Slovenia had three court cases at the administrative court and one infringement procedure from European Commission. Keywords: Strategic environmental assessment, transposition, screening, public participation, SEA directive, OECD The Use and Effectiveness of SEA in Slovenia Aleš Mlakar Prostorsko na rtovanje Aleš Mlakar s.p., Pokopališka ulica 5, Ljubljana, Slovenia (ales.mlakar@siol.com) Abstract Purpose of the project is to set a criteria system for evaluate SEA practice and obtain an estimate of what has Slovenia achieved so far, how the SEA process has contributed to the achievement of goals of environmental protection and what were the efficiency, costs and benefits of its practicing. Criteria system relate to substantive efficiency and procedural effectiveness of SEA. SEA in some cases exceeds a verification procedure, and becomes an optimization activity, which aims to a plan modification/change in a way that it causes the least impact to the environment. On the other hand, the practice is still associated with misunderstanding of the purpose of SEA, with a number of conflict situations, including procedural complications resulting in extended time and costs, inability of implementation of legitimate developmental interests. SEA is based on normative protection with determining of mitigation measures and contributes to design of integrated and innovative solutions very rarely. Results of project are propositions for SEA to be more effective. SEA should deal with strategic level, be an optimization activity, part of policy, program and plan preparation process, part of comprehensive process dealing with impacts on society, economy and environment. On the end 4 levels/concepts of practice modifications are proposed - from stimulation of project approach, education, good practice and integrity of stakeholders, to the radical change of SEA legal/approach framework.

Through drafting of the plan, shares of incorporated nature protection guidelines and measures have been researched according to their purpose, in relation to those received from the ministry responsible for nature protection, the State Institute for Nature Protection and arising from the Environmental report. The methods of their incorporation were also studied by analysing cartographic representations and implementation provisions. Identified lack of systematic and consistent incorporation shows that the integrated procedure did not contribute to significant improvement within the nature protection system.

Strategic environmental assessment and physical plans exhibit substantial similarities, each of them considering identical issues. The implementation of strategic environmental assessment of physical plans is still in its inception in the Republic of Croatia, while several European countries have developed that practice already in 1990s. By adoption of Directive 2001/42/EC, and UN ECE Protocol on SEA, implementation of strategic environmental assessment has become mandatory in countries of the European Union as of 2004. This paper analyses several cases of its implementation in the EU member states, comparing them with one of the first cases of implementation of this process in Croatia. The specific objective of this paper is to examine the likely effect of strategic environmental assessment of physical plans on the process of reaching physical planning decisions, primarily through alternative solution analysis. The analysis has proved that strategic environmental assessment introduces the physical plan stakeholders to a wider range of possibilities and restrictions within the proposed solutions. A conclusion has been reached that alternatives, provided they are defined in real terms, comprehensively assessed and democratically selected, can contribute to the abovementioned process, especially in view of environmental and nature protection.

Sarajevo, Avde Hume 11, Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina (erna@dvokut.ba) Abstract In promoting the sustainable development of cities, municipalities and regions, there is a need for spatial planning that integrates the physical, economical and social aspect, and aspects of the environment and it supports integral approach. Spatial plan grows from the tool for space usage into a management tool or development tool of space and environmental protection. The paper compares the spatial planning with Strategic Environmental Assessment and gives the basic features of sustainable development. It advocates for new paradigmes in spatial and environmental planning and it gives appreciation to the economic, social and physical and environmental development. Including environment impacts in the planning process using an Environmental Impact Assessment and Strategic Environmental Assessment involves the introduction of the new philosophy of sustainable development in the system of social values. Unified spatial and environmental planning can provide a new level of quality in both types of planning, as well as more qualitative development of areas which are applying such procedures.

The implementation of main articles and annexes of the END is primarily focused on a long-term prevention from the environmental noise caused by big infrastructural investments, such as highways, railways, airports, cities, etc, by influencing primarily the development of Spatial plans. Therefore, the END is the most critical part of the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) as prerequisite of any national or regional Spatial planning procedures. The END is relatively young directive, and therefore, represents a major challenge for most of the EU member states, particularly in respect to the production of 3D noise maps and adoption of sectoral action plans. Although the 3D noise maps and action plans represent very strong instrument in preparing SEA, it is very rarely used because of lack of knowledge in dealing with this specific environmental health risks. This article will focus on the recently adopted National Environmental Noise Protection Strategy (2012), which is prepared with the assistance of EU IPA funded project (EuropeAid/129403/D/SER/HR), and will elaborate about its implementation and possible role in upgrading the SEA procedures.

Although the content is legally prescribed, the assessment varies significantly regarding a physical plan when compared to an operational programme. Starting from the very structure of an operational programme and a physical plan, the differences are as follows: programme description is much less detailed when compared to a physical plan, range of a programme is defined for Croatia as a whole, generally not stating specific areas as opposed to a physical plan which is applied for the area of a county, the description of specific activities is provided on an abstract level within a programme, while it is clearly defined within a physical plan, spatial description within a programme is quite broad, while in a physical plan it is described in details with a very precise elaboration of sensitiveness, zones etc. All stated differences are the reason why Strategic Impact Assessment procedures must be approached in a different manner and by using a different drafting methodology. In case of an operational programme, the approach will be less determined and more abstract (depending on type and sort of an operational programme), while a physical plan strategic assessment can and has to be conducted in a way to respect all environmental and spatial features. The key element on which the subsequent prescribing of measures (guidelines) depends will be the correct choice of indicators of state of the environment and its changes.

The OPE represents the programme document for absorbing the EU funds allocated for the environmental sector, covering a rolling seven-year period 2014-2020. The basis for preparing the OPE 20142020 is prepared Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA), which should, beside the waste and water sectors (which are the priorities of OPE 2007-2013 period), to expand to new sectors, such as nature and air protection, but also marine environment protection, soil protection, climate change adaptation, risk prevention and other areas which are applicable under thematic objectives No 5) and 6) established in the Regulation on Cohesion Funds (article 9 of the Proposal for a Regulation COM (2011) 615 final/2). Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) of this OPE is the responsibility of the MENP, and SEA procedure should be conducted in line with the provision of the Environmental Protection Act (OG 110/07), Regulation on strategic environmental assessment of plans and programme (OG 64/08) and Regulation on information and participation of the public and public concerned in environmental matters (OG 64/08), which are aligned with Directive 2001/42/EC on the assessment of the effects of certain plans and programmes on the environment. Since the time for completing the OPE 2014-2020 is extremely short, it indicates urgency on preparing SEA, as well as above mentioned sectors strategies, as prerequisite for specific OPE Priority axes. Without adopted OPE 2014 and approved by EU, no Cohesion Fund projects could be prepared and the EU funds absorbed. This paper will focus on the procedural issues regarding the development of OPE 2014-2020, and in particular on the content of SEA in respect to the above mentioned new sectors and their strategic priorities for the new 7 years period.

Environmental indicators are an effective tool for monitoring changes and achieving the objectives of sector policies and strategies. Environmental indicators are used to quantify the effects of each plan or program. By applying the latest scientific research in the establishment of decision making by selecting environmental indicators can improve the decision making in the strategic environmental assessment. In this paper we investigate environmental indicators that are related to the energy sector, which can be used in a strategic environmental assessment of the impact of the energy sector. Also, the paper will be shown the appropriate criteria for the selection of environmental indicators for use in the strategic assessment of the environmental impact of the energy curriculum. Energy related environmental indicators will be classified using the DrivePressure-Impact-State-Response (DPSIR) model which is useful tool for selection of environmental indicators. In addition, to complement the key indicators it will be investigated and so far not described environmental indicators, which describe the environmental impacts of specific energy source.

The paper describes the process of making the assessment, the participants in the project, the participation of the general public as well as the specially appointed bodies. The main assessment of the acceptability of the plan for ecological network and the questions of environmental protection integrated in the Spatial plan are specially presented. Considering that this is the first strategic environmental impact assessment of a spatial plan in Croatia, it is suggested that the experience of the Primorsko-goranska County can serve as an example for other similar procedures.

The study has been based on spatial multi-criteria analysis of the County's coastal area that took into account: site's suitability for mariculture criteria (including the sites exposure to wind and waves, sea currents, depth, pollution, trophic status, infrastructure, and site's accessibility); site's vulnerability criteria (in sense of the carrying capacity of the surrounding environment, sensitivity of some valuable ecosystems on some mariculture environmental impacts, impacts on landscape); interests of other sectors in the area (including settlements, tourism, sea traffic, protected areas, fisheries). The study has been prepared through participatory process that has included all relevant stakeholders in all phases of the planning. The results of the analysis were: recommended zones for mariculture – for fish cage farms and shellfish farms, with estimate for production capacities of each zone, in format and scale suitable for direct integration into the County spatial plan; elements of Strategic environmental assessment of the plan, i.e. report on how the plan has integrated environmental protection measures identified by the SEA; elements of Appropriate assessment for the plan. The study conclusively has contributed to the quality of the proposed amendments to the County's spatial plan, as well as to the soundness of the amendments’ public review process.

The goal to be achieved through the plan is to preserve good water status in order to protect human life and health and protection of aquatic ecosystems. The Strategic Environmental Assessment, as an environmental protection tool, is used for the assessing of a plan’s and programme’s environmental impacts, pursuant to the Environmental Protection Act (OG 110/07) and the Regulation on SEA of plans and programmes (OG 64/08). The Strategic Environmental Assessment procedure includes determination of specific environmental protection measures and of an environmental monitoring program. In this paper, a procedure for determining the content of the strategic assessment study has been presented and it has been compared with the content prescribed by the Directive 2001/42/EC. Methods which are used to assess the impacts of the plan on the environment have been examined. Furthermore, the authors have also presented a procedure of evaluation of the strategic assessment study and have analysed the environmental protection measures and monitoring program which are proposed in order to reduce significant effects of implementing the plan to an acceptable level. Based on the conducted analysis and comparisons the relevant recommendations and guidelines for the SEA procedures for the documents in the field of water management have been suggested.

Box 233, Deventer, the Netherlands (a.vkuijk@witteveenbos.nl) 2 APCK doo Consulting, Kraljia Petra 58/6, Belgrade, Serbia (anto.pucci@libero.it) Abstract In recent years Witteveen+Bos was involved in the development of Transport Masterplans for Serbia (nationwide) and Latvia (regional plan for Riga and Pieriga). In both cases it was decided that a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) in line with EU and national regulations should be carried out. It appeared not straightforward to perform a SEA for Transport Masterplans, as a SEA is more on the evaluation of fully fledged alternatives, whereas in Transport Masterplans a bundle of individual projects is considered, some of which is already decided upon. Furthermore, national regulations do acknowledge the use of SEA, but tend to follow the procedures for Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs), which are in general more strict as they are related to environmental permitting. An approach was made that could be adapted for both Master Plans. The key element of this was to include the cost of environmental impacts into the Cost Benefit Analysis for the Master Plan. Furthermore, project fiches were made to facilitate the further environmental evaluation of the individual transport development projects, to be performed in the EIA stage of the projects. During workshops with stakeholders it was concluded that this approach was wellaccepted as being fit for purpose. Keywords: Strategic Environmental Assessment, Infrastructure, Transport Masterplanning, Traffic Impacts Strategic Environmental Assessment for institutional decision making: a case-study from the Walloon Region, Belgium Amandine D'Haese1, Wouter Dieleman1, Jean-Michel Baijot2 1 ECOREMPic., Kontichsesteenweg 38, Aartselaar, Belgium (info@ecorem.be); Service Public de Wallonie, DG02, Boulevard du Nord 8, Namur, Belgium 2 Abstract Although the assessment of the environmental impact of projects at a local level is now rooted in the practices by most countries worldwide, the evaluation of the global impact and potential alternatives of a whole program is yet to be adopted as common practice. Following that need, the European Union requires, through the European Directive 2001/42/EC, also called 'Strategic Environmental Assessment' (SEA) - Directive', that specific public programs undergo an assessment of their effect on the environment prior to their adoption. Theoretically, the SEA entails the integration of environmental considerations in planning and programming procedures and decisions. It is in fact an "upstream" process that allows identifying optimal options at an early planning stage when modifications can still be considered and integrated. The SEA can as such be considered as a decision support tool to increase the global awareness of all involved parties. European experience has notably confirmed that the contribution of SEAs has improved the organization and structure of the whole planning practice. The SEA conducted in 20112012 for the Walloon program called "Seine-Scheldt inland waterways and connections in the Walloon region" in Belgium is a good case study we would like to share. This program is part of the European SeineScheldt project which will provide a large capacity transport axis between the Parisian region, the Seine estuary, Northern France, Belgium and the Netherlands.

Na tragu tih potreba Europska unija zahtijeva, kroz europsku direktivu 2001/42/EZ "Strateška procjena utjecaja na okoliš" (eng. Strategic Environmental Assessment - SEA Direktiva), da odre eni javni programi moraju pro i procjenu njihovog utjecaja na okoliš prije njihovog usvajanja. U teoriji, SEA podrazumijeva integraciju ekoloških razmatranja u planiranju i programiranju postupaka i odluka. To je zapravo "uzvodan" proces koji omogu uje identificiranje optimalnih izbora u ranoj fazi planiranja, kada se modifikacije još uvijek mogu razmatrati i integrirati. SEA se kao takva može smatrati alatom za potporu pri odlu ivanju kako bi se pove ala globalna svijest svih uklju enih strana. Europska iskustva su osobito potvrdila da je doprinos strateških procjena utjecaja na okoliš poboljšao ustroj i strukturu cijelog na ina planiranja. SEA provedena u 2011-2012 za Valonski program pod nazivom "Seine-Scheldt unutarnji vodeni putovi i veze u Valonskoj regiji" u Belgiji je dobra analiza slu aja koju bismo željeli prikazati.

Slovenia and Croatia, being the Party of Origin and the Affected Party respectively, have closed transboundary consultations for the planned HPP Krško in conformity with the Espoo Convention, and the Protocol on Strategic Environmental Assessment of the Espoo Convention, as well as the transboundary consultations for the „Slovenian National Plans for Hydropower Use in Brežice and Mokrice on Lower Sava“. Within the consultations, potential hazardous transboundary impacts were determined on both the Croatian and Slovenian territory. The problem of HPP chain on the Sava River was also put on the agenda of the „AD hoc working group for solving open questions between the Republic of Slovenia and the Republic of Croatia“. The paper claims that the construction of infrastructural facilities on the Sava River, and regulation of water regime cannot be analysed only on the basis of two HPPs located at the border territory, rather that it requires the consideration of the overall system. For that purpose, governments of both countries were proposed to establish an Expert Work Groups for preparation of background documents on all technical issues, so that once all the environmental and energy aspects were taken into consideration, a coordinated management system may be established at all existing and new hydropower plants on the Sava River.

The process was managed via points of contacts/focal points for the purpose of the Espoo Convention. The article presents the two processes as positive experiences in the region. Firstly, the notification with information on the proposed plan and possible transboundary effects, the nature of decision and indication of time for response, has been send and response received in the proposed time. SEA report has been presented for comments. Two environmental commissions have been established and consulted on: state of environment, sediment, cumulative effects, erosion, and underground water, possible alternatives, including nonaction alternative and possible measures to mitigate significant adverse transboundary impact. In the process of Mokrice also the appropriate assessment in line with Art. 6(3) of Habitat directive was prepared. Both parties agreed on public hearing and presentation on both side of the borders in adequate timeframe. At the end of the process the mitigation measures for reducing the impact have been agreed and included into final decision. The article shows the importance of the agreement on each stage in the transboundary SEA process to fully implement the provisions.

Pp should be applied where there is a reasonable suspicion of the existence of a health or environmental risk. Furthermore, the EC indicates that measures based on the Pp should not be aimed at completely precluding any risk; it assumes that such an effort is unrealistic. One of the measures based on the Pp is hazard characterization of the site enabling the acceptable remediation program to be laid down. The sites of interest are new technology communication sites, masts and antenna systems used for mobile wireless data communications placed into the environment which produce antropogenic electromagnetic radiation (EM) exposure of the environment and biota. They were placed into the urban and suburban areas due to the radiometric calculations only. No Strategic environmental assessments (SEA) was ever systematically done for this new technology and for such building constructions. Several attempts to preserve the environment and urban areas from devastation were worked out but the planned and reserved areas for mast constructions are very often illegally occupied due to the urban planning decisions at the lower local community levels. The new public perception approach and discussion of new Croatian national telecommunication strategy is needed.

In carrying out this quite explicit criterion, there is a number of potential questions. One of the subject is a definition of “biodegradable waste” itself, on which there are various interpretations in individual countries, while in Croatia there is still no precise definition. Another question is related to the calculation of biodegradable component in residual waste disposed on the landfill, which had been primarily treated in a certain type of MBT plant, thus significantly differed by structure and composition from the reference waste which has not been treated. This paper indicates an overview of relevant regulations and practice, proposal of defining the biodegradable waste, method of assessing the biodegradable component in residual waste disposed on the landfill. The overview shall be indicated on concrete example of one Croatian county under assumption of waste treatment in MBT plant and under assumption of fulfilling the requirement on primary waste separation pursuant to the Waste Framework Directive. The paper will help in analysis of problems related to the landfilling of biodegradable municipal waste both in designing of waste management systems and also in the preparation of strategic environmental assessment studies for the programs and plans of waste management.

Radiation exposure conditions entail a number of radionuclides which are treated in impact and risk assessments in an additive way although considering different weighing factors for different radiation types. Most if not all, radiological exposure situations are essentially mixed contaminant exposure situations with a mix of radionuclides, heavy metals, metalloids or organic pollutants. Knowledge on the transfer of pollutants between different environmental compartments, and on the impact of cumulative stressors, including chemical mixtures is to be geathered to reduce uncertainty in current risk assessment and screening methodologies, for example by improving the scientific basis for setting safety factors which are to be a benchmark for Strategic environmental assessments (SEA) and included into the national strategy of industrial waste management system enabling it’s release into the environment. The goal is to reuse the industrial byproducts rather than handle them as waste forming new waste facilities. NORM (coal ash, phosphorgypsum etc.) is a very delicate and important issue for our country and NORM waste alternatives are to be obtained, evaluated and presented to the stakeholders. Croatia has no recognized industrial byproduct reuse environmental national strategy jet. SEA must suggest proper policies.

Despite the long tradition of good practice and specific care towards waters that lasts since the 19th century, trough the implementation of high standards in environment protection in 1970s, which was followed by two environment protection acts from 1994 and 2007, there was always enough space to improve our attitude towards the environment. The new EPA has been adopted and in force since July 2013. The EPA is harmonized with the General Administrative Procedure Act, the Directive 2010/75/EC on Industrial Emissions, the Marine Strategy Framework Directive 2008/56/EC, and it provides a framework for the direct transposition of certain EU regulations. The new EPA is based on framework provided by the EPA from 2007. A number of substantial changes have been introduced to provide a better care for the environment, to ensure that the competent Ministry conducts the procedures in a more efficient manner, and to improve the transparency of these procedures. The newly introduced changes include repositioning/introduction of environmental permit, changes of the scope of strategic environmental assessment, changes of conditions and criteria for authorized consultancy organizations that provide services in the field of environment protection, changes and harmonization of different procedures related to EIA and a series of other significant improvements.

Shortly after that, a series of bylaws has been adopted to regulate the procedure for the implementation of environment impact assessment (EIA), strategic environmental assessment (SEA) and integrated environmental requirements along with correlated procedures such as: access to information, public participation in decision making and access to justice in environmental matters. This regulatory package adopted in 2007 and 2008, based on the positive experience in the implementation of the former EPA (official gazette “Narodne novine” Nrs. 82/94 and 128/99), regulated EIA processes for the last five years. The regulatory framework has been improved and modernized by elements needed to comply with the standards required in the process of Croatian accession to the EU, and which are based on the good practice of the Member States. Pursuant to the EPA (official gazette “Narodne novine” Nr. 110/2007), the overview of statistical indicators of EIA implementation in the Republic of Croatia includes the following: the total number of conducted procedures, the total number of procedures by type, manner of resolution and decision, the number of different groups of projects subjected to EIA, the procedure timespans and others.

Rationale behind this research is to answer the question: is it possible to use the same Study/Assessment to be prepared by/for Banks during the process of validation of bankable projects (ESIA), and to be approved by competent authorities in country (EIA)? Paper is contributing to EU accession ( latest EC Progress Report SWD(2012) 333 final for Serbia noted that “ Although the alignment with the Environmental Impact Assessment Directive is fully achieved, the implementation needs to be improved…”). ESIAs strong pillar of environmentally sensitive projects is social impact (sometimes linked with resettlements) available for review by the (interested) public. The Banks (like EBRD) usually perform ESIA as the condition in the process of considering to provide finance/ loan. In Serbia, it is not national procedure for ESIA; laws in Serbia do not recognize this term. However, legally prescribed scope of EIA (Law on EIA, 2004) includes social and climate change aspects to be addressed. This (the way how address social aspects) could be link, if develop and use properly (not only formally), to use already prepared ESIA Study prepared by/for Bank in national procedure for EIA approvement (at least as the base Study to be just adapted to national legislation requests form). By this, resources will be used more effecitevelly, and it will be one consultation process with public (meaning that time for approvement will be more effective). Case study analysis is justified this approach. On the other hand, Banks should consider in more details national EIA legislation, in particular related to prescribed scope of EIA.

The first system document was prepared in 1969, even before entering the well known American act NEPA into force (1 January 1970), which in world relations represents a turning point towards systematic and organized engagement in environmental protection. In the 70’s, which are characteristic for construction of numerous power and industrial plants, a qualitative basis for institutionalization of EIAS was created in the Physical Planning Act (1980) and in the Regulation on EIAS preparation (1984). The paper shall indicate this historical development of environmental protection issue in the world and in Croatia, as well as the status of EIAS and similar documents within various periods up to today. The subject will be taken into consideration not just through development of certain regulations, but through development and application of professional tools in processing of such issue. A historical overview of developing the concern on individual environmental aspects shall be given, as well as the overview of enormous achievements in environmental protection within the last 40 years. Issues related to the environmental impact assessment shall be taken into consideration as well, particularly those actual today. A connection between individual environmental aspects shall be processed, as well as general topics becoming a challenge in environmental protection in the future.

In the EU Member States the obligation to perform screening is based on Directive 2011/92/EU. EIA must be carried out for all projects types listed in Annex I and Annex II projects that exceed the thresholds laid down by national law, and in cases where the application of the criteria set out in Annex III estimates that the project could have a significant impact on environment. The approach varies from country to country. Upper and/or lower thresholds are being used, combined with evaluation on a case by case basis. If a project reaches the threshold, an obligation to perform the EIA is determined by applying the selection criteria. Due to incorrect transposition and application of these provisions infringement procedures are already taking place against some countries, including Slovenia. Slovenia has decided to set fixed national thresholds in order to establish an obligation to perform the EIA, which in principle, the Directive enables. Nevertheless, the European Commission pointed to the incorrect transposition of the Directive, and Slovenia is modifying its legislation and establishing the obligation of screening "case by case". Since it has been shown that screening can also be an effective way to reduce the number of EIA procedures, this phase of the procedure is significantly upgraded in the proposal to amend the Directive (2012).

Some court decisions put the position of the environmental impact assessment procedure in question regarding the hierarchy of development consents, in the permit system. Interpretation of material law (physical plans) is a special problem, taking into account it is not in the competence of the person conducting the EIA, but in the competence of another body issuing the certificate on compliance with physical plans, which can be contested only in an court dispute against the EIA decision, which brings the investor into legal uncertainty and the EIA administration into a position of not being able to control your administrative procedure. The case law of the European Court of Human Rights has clearly defined which mistakes a state can make in environmental procedures, which can eventually cause breaches of human rights. The aim of this presentation is to give an overview of legal remedies against EIA decisions in Croatia. The presentation deals with until now completed EIA and IPPC administrative disputes and gives an overview of recent case law of the European Court of Human Rights related to EIA decisions. Expected results are an analysis of current case law related to EIA procedures, determining patterns regarding reasons for remedies, harmonisation of first instance procedures by accepting case law of administrative courts, filling the legal voids in administrative procedures by findings of case law.

It is used to ensure that submitted environmental information are sufficient for decision-making process. According to the Directive 2011/92/EU on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment, Member States are entitled to develop different tools for a quality review of documentation. Environmental Protection Act (Official Gazette 110/07) (EPA) prescribes a general tool for the quality review of an Environmental Impact Study (EIS) based on participation of an Advisory expert committee. The main role of the Committee is to evaluate the completeness and quality of the information gathered in an EIS as the beginning of a quality review stage in the EIA procedure. According to the Article 77 of the EPA the competent body may appoint a standing Committee when a larger number of projects of the same type are planned. In this paper, based on the analysis of the EIA procedures involving standing Committee, the authors have presented advantages and weaknesses of using the standing Committee as a tool for the quality review of Environmental Impact Studies.

The Regulation on environmental impact assessment stipulates that an environmental impact assessment can be carried out for projects which are planned pursuant to effective spatial plans. In practice it has turned out that not for all projects in space it is possibile to construe this provision in such a manner that, in terms of spatial plans, the assessment procedure can be carried out only when all prerequisites for location permit issuance have been fulfilled. The decision about which comes first, environmental impact assessment or the physical planning implementing document for the respective project, depends on the potential impact of the project, on the sensitivity of the location, on the detailedness and content of the mandatory physical planning document. Environmental protection measures as a result of the environmental impact assessment can be relevant for passing spatial planning decisions, they can have an impact on determining the micro-location of the project, and sometimes they are relevant only during developing of the design for the location/building permit. In case of linear infrastructure, in the environmental impact assessment in particular routes established by spatial plans are reviewed. In cases when a route planned in a currently effective spatial plan is assessed as being environmentally unacceptable or less acceptable in relation to the variant solutions provided in the study, the outcome of the assessment is integrated into spatial plans through the procedure of their amendment.

By establishing obligation to obtain various documents (e.g. EIA), which technicaly and proceduraly cover these areas a certain addition to the classical structure of the project documentation cycle was made. This change results in different interpretation of "who" may do "which" document in order to avoid "conflict of interest" between the developers of particular types of documents and their interrelationship with the next or previous document in the cycle. Different interpretations present limitations in terms of participant access to the market. The paper will elaborate what "conflict of interest" really is and can be, and how and when it can be applied as a restriction. Also, a review of the legislative approach to this issue in Croatia and beyond will be made. The intention of this paper is to provide assistance to regulators and customers when making decisions on the applicability of the term "conflict of interest" in their practice.

Public procurement implementation obligators choose available establishments in the market through the process of public procurement. The most common instrument of public procurement in Croatia is open public procurement that applies procedure by criteria of lowest prices and elimination criteria related to business capacity. Given the nature and complexity of these tasks and their distinct multidisciplinarity, this selection method of authorized economic establishments in practice often causes problems when creating these documents and during the implementation of administrative procedures. The decision of the competent Ministry as a final result of the implementation of the administrative proceedings on the EIA is often due to poor selection of beneficiaries, unfavourable to the investor or unfavourable in terms of protecting public interest, or both. In addition, the procedure of developing the EIS and implementing EIA seems unreasonably long due to inadequate capability of beneficiaries to cope with the resulting assignment. Consequently, practice has shown that it is necessary to consider the actual capacity, knowledge and experience in its selection of beneficiaries through the implementation of public procurement. This is only possible by applying the instrument of economically most favourable bid or, by applying review score of technical and financial capacity of the bid. This method has been successfully applied to various financial institutions such the World Bank, the European Investment Bank, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, KFW and others.

Studija je preduvjet za isho enje rješenja o prihvatljivosti zahvata za okoliš. Uredbom (UoPUO) su propisani zahvati za koje postoji obaveza provedbe procjene utjecaja zahvata na okoliš, kao i odgovaraju e aktivnosti. Budu i da se radi o nizu me usobno povezanih aktivnosti koje djeluju jedna na drugu, govorimo o procesu izrade Studije o utjecaja zahvata na okoliš (dalje: Proces). U medijima se esto mogu uti izjave nositelja zahvata da je postupak dugotrajan, kao i izjave politi ara da postupak treba skratiti. U propisima su navedene neke obvezne aktivnosti tijekom Procesa izrade Studije, i propisano je koliko one traju. Osim propisanih postoje i one nepropisane bez kojih je itav postupak nemogu e provesti. Neki postupak se ne može skratiti ako nije poznata ve ina potrebnih aktivnosti u procesu, niti koliko one traju. U ovom radu se, na temelju prakti nog iskustva, navode glavne aktivnosti, a njihovo trajanje je teško procijeniti jer ovisi od niza imbenika.

The Study is a prerequisite to issue a decision for a certain projects. Directive regulates some processes and activities within procedure. Since it comprises the sequence of interconnected activities and activities affecting one another, we refer to the making process of the Study of environmental impact assessment. The theory states that processes need to be planned and conducted under supervised conditions. In media, we can often hear the Investor's statements and complaints that the procedure is time-consuming, as well as politicians saying it needs to be shortened. Directive does not prescribe the obligatory activities during study making process, nor it prescribes how long are they to last. A certain procedure cannot be shortened if the majority of activities within procedure are unknown as well as their duration. In this work, certain activities and their approximate duration cited, are based on practical experience. Arguing the reasons why certain activity of some assessment lasts shorter, and some longer. Indicating problems and misunderstandings which occur when no clear written guidelines/instructions are given. In this work, suggestions are proposed, that could improve the existing process to be efficient – planned activities and planned results achieved with minimum consumption of resources, and effective – focused on essential activities.

Iako se procesu izrade procjene utjecaja na okoliš ne mogu pore i mnoge pozitivne stvari, u ovom trenutku on je (proces izrade) prije administrativna prepreka nego instrument koji bi trebao doprinijeti unapre enju stanja.

Although not the only one, that's also the reason why investors are discouraged and bypass Croatia. We can't deny many positive things to the process of drafting an environmental impact assessment, but at the moment it is considered more as an administrative obstacle than as an instrument which should contribute to improving the situation. Special attention in this context deserves inadequate role of this process in issuing integrated environmental, and strategic impact assessment. Similar situation is in some neighboring countries. Experience that I gained in several countries of the region (the former Yugoslavia), as well as working for large investors (World Bank, Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the EU, ...) indicates the negative examples from current practice and provides suggestions on how to improve the process of drafting of the Assessment. Given the complexity of the space, where almost every intervention can have an impact on the neighboring country, in work it's also suggested unification of process in the region as possible.

Application of this procedure as well as types of projects for which is obligated has been prescribed by Ordinance of Environmental Protection Assessment. For the successful performance of EIA procedure it is necessary that stakeholders i.e. persons involved in this procedure possess adequate knowledge about EIA procedure. On the other hand, in Republic of Croatia, there is certain number of higher education institutions which they have included within their study programs environmental protection, environmental engineering as well as EIA procedure issues. The scope of this work was to conduct research about knowledge of EIA procedure in Republic of Croatia. The results obtained on the basis of questionary which contained questions of EIA issues. Target group of questionary were students and lecturers of several institutions for higher education in Republic of Croatia which they have in their study programmes environmental protection, environmental engineering and EIA procedure issues. The results have shown that education is essential factor in the process of gaining of the knowledge necessary in EIA procedure.

The paper discusses the legal basis and competences, which have changed over time, for the implementation of these procedures, and the types of intervention for which environmental impact assessment procedures were implemented. It analyses the main and most common environmental impacts, as well as the results of the implementation of procedures in terms of the environmental acceptability or unacceptability of the interventions. It also analyses project realisation after completion of assessment procedures. It discusses the ways in which the public participated and the public response, and indicates which interventions drew most attention and caused most public reaction, and whether this affected final outcomes. The paper also discusses which types of intervention require environmental monitoring and in relation to which elements of the environment. On the basis of the results of environmental monitoring, and analyses of environmental situations after interventions, the paper tries to determine whether and to what extent the implementation of environmental impact assessment procedures has served its purpose, or whether it was implemented only to fulfil one of the formal conditions for the realisation of the intended project.

In the calculation of economic benefits, such analysis in Croatian case does include some items like taxes or transfer payments that, contrary to EU methodology, have no economic effect, except the financial one. Thus, in contrast with the EU Guidelines, calculations of economic benefits/costs regularly include transfer payments like VAT on capital assets, net VAT paid in the accounting year, legal obligations arising from the settlement of property rights, donations of various funds, foreign exchange effects, inflation, often neglecting gross labour costs, that are usually not transferred to "shadow prices" or corrected by conversion factors. Exceptions in terms of indirect taxes are various fees that are actually treated as an estimated cost of surveillance and protection of the environment, which basically ensure that the level of negative impact on the environment is maintained in legally acceptable limits. Given the fact that such fees are paid to the Croatian state budget (often lacking transparent redistribution or direct compensatory effect that is proportional to estimated damage) and following the EU approach, one should consider the reasoning behind inclusion of such charges as economic benefits.

Unlike the analytical methods to judge the effectiveness of individual projects, this analysis examines the overall social effects of the project. One of the effects is also health impact assessment. In the field of energy, commonly used is ‘’damage cost’’ or ‘’impact pathway’’ approach. Cost analysis is focused on the main category of external costs, it refers to the external costs due to air pollution, and is using impact pathway approach starting with the specification of pollution sources, then calculating changing air quality due to emission and dispersion, calculating impacts to the physical units, and assessing damages in monetary values. Another, simpler method is a method of ‘’cost control’’ by which external costs are calculated on the basis of investment in environmental protection measures. Air pollutants increase mortality rates notably due to long-term exposure to pollution as so-called ‘’chronic effects’’ but also due to short-term effects increasing '' daily'' mortality, which affect people who suffer from some kind of respiratory and / or cardiovascular disease. Impact on health, in addition to the increased mortality rates, is also expressed through a number of other so-called ''endpoint'' functions such as: new cases of bronchitis, admission to hospital for respiratory disorders, cardiovascular disorders, the number of days with activity restriction, etc. In recent years, quantifying the impact on human health due to air pollution, is of increasing importance not only for cost-benefit analysis of individual projects, but also within the strategic decisions and environmental policy.

Public attention is often focused on the impact on human health as a result of the impact on air quality, with most concern expressing about the odors or carcinogenic and toxic air pollutants. The emphasis in this paper is to assess the impact on human health due to air pollution. Legal obligations and methodological guidance concerning the analysis of the impact on human health in the environmental impact assessment study in the EU and USA are given. The differences between a health impact assessment and health risk assessment are described and examples of how those two types of analyzes can be used in EIA studies are given. Protecting air quality also means protecting human health because we need to keep in mind that most of the air quality standards are related to the protection of human health, and their values are set based on the results of numerous health impact assessment studies. This raises the practical question for all participants in the process of environmental impact assessment: is it enough to prove that the project would not violate the air quality standards or impact on human health should be analyzed separately in EIA studies.

The size of the impact area is calculated, mandatory under ''worst case scenario''. For critical parts of the chemical plants that contain flammable or explosive substances, the methodology – BLEVE and POOL FIRE scenario is used to calculate the impact range of a major accident on the environment and people; the probability, consequences of critical events and the risk matrix is determined. The initial accident at the plant can lead to a domino effect causing another accident at a neighboring facility and worsen the consequences of the initial accident. Within the environmental impact study, for such operations, it is necessary to prescribe measures to prevent possible accidents, and measures to reduce impacts on the environment in the case of an accident. A detailed analysis is carried out within the Safety Report under the Regulation on the prevention of major accidents involving dangerous substances (NN 114/08) and limited amount of hazardous substances.

Da bi interpretacija prikupljenih podataka što više odgovarala stvarnom stanju u podzemlju istraživani lokalitet potrebno je prekriti sa što guš om mrežom egzaktnih podataka. Kombinacija klasi nih (u pravilu skupljih) i modernih geološko-geofizi kih (u pravilu jeftinijih) metoda istraživanja garantira najkvalitetnije rezultate i u izvedbi zahvata postizanje najboljih finacijskih inaka.

Explored locality must be covered with dense net of exact data in order to make interpretation of gathered data as close as possible to the actual situation in underground. Combination of classical (usually more expensive) and modern geological-geophysical (usually cheaper) methods of exploration guarantees most quality results and achievement of the best financial effects in execution of exploration. This approach is especially recommended in exploration for "eco" projects and projects intended for construction of buildings and facilities for use of renewable sources of energy, making of quality expert basis for Study about impact on environment in above mentioned areas, where planar covering of exploration area is of the most importance. Consequences of inaccurately interpolated geological relations in underground (if they are consequence of using only point or line data of exploration) are usually very expensive and almost irreparable, costs of remediation are very high and (in some cases) necessary operations are impossible to execute.

Tuna breeding in Croatia has begun at the end of the nineteen nineties. The Environmental Impact Assessment, being an environmental protection tool, is used for identifying, describing and evaluating a planned intervention’s environmental impact, pursuant to the Environmental Protection Act (OG 110/07) and the Regulation on Environmental Impact Assessment (OG 64/08, 67/09). The assessment process includes the identification of possible impacts of planned interventions, as well as the prescription of specific environmental protection measures and of an environmental monitoring program. In order to assess the impact of tuna breeding sites it is necessary to identify and describe in detail the environment or the existing condition of a potential location and the area of the intervention’s impact. In this paper, six studies on the environmental impact of tuna breeding sites have been compared and it has been affirmed that the same or different models had assessed the impact. It has also been analyzed how different monitoring programs had documented certain impact parameters for two tuna breeding sites. Based on the conducted a) environmental impact study, b) two monitoring programs and c) environmental impact study with corresponding monitoring programs, the optimization of the environmental monitoring program for tuna breeding sites has been suggested.

Vanja Satinovi 1, Daniela Klai Jan ijev1, Željko Koren1 1 Oikon Ltd. – Institute for Applied Ecology, Trg senjskih uskoka 1-2, Zagreb, Croatia Abstract To achieve design solutions of high quality, especially in projects of linear infrastructural projects, the cooperation between designers and EIS developers from the earliest start of design activities is important, although it was not common recently. That could cause more alternative solutions of the same route, even out of the area specified by physical plans. Projects that do not comply with county physical plans result in failure to start the procedure for obtaining the location permit. Also, results of analyses of alternative solutions due to not widely known methods of comparison of alternative solutions, are often not very well accepted by EIA participants. Also, the new practice shows that requirements from competent authorities are more and more demanding, precisely more detailed technical data and descriptions as well as data whose collecting is not possible without long-term and expensive field researches. Lack of strategic documentations, especially strategic assessments of county physical plans, often represents a problem during defining the priority projects and during assessments of cumulative effects. Experiences from project solutions and EISs for objects of linear infrastructure show that the realization of new infrastructure projects is strongly connected with important issues which could finally result in significant extension of realization deadlines, from originally expected.

EIA procedura je definisana Zakonom o proceni uticaja na životnu sredinu (Sl.Gl.RS. 135/04, 36/09), kao i nizom podzakonskih akata. Celokupna regulativa iz oblasti zaštite životne sredine u potpunosti je usaglašena sa evropskom EIA Direktivom (85/337/EEC, 97/11/EC, 2003/35/EC i 2009/31/EC). Postupak je sproveden pred nadležnim organom – Ministarstvom energetike, razvoja i zaštite životne sredine. Za svaku od deset autoputnih deonica izra en je centralni dokument – Studija o proceni uticaja na životnu sredinu.

The EIA procedure is defined in the Law on Environmental Impact Assessment (Off. Gaz. RS. 135/04, 36/09), and in other extensive secondary legislation. The entire regulations governing the environmental sphere are fully harmonized with the European EIA Directive (85/337/EEC, 97/11/EC, 2003/35/EC and 2009/31/EC). The procedures were carried out under the surveillance of the competent authority - Ministry of Energy, Development and Environmental Protection. The core document - Environmental impact assessment study was prepared for each of ten motorway sections. The involvement of the public concerned was secured in all stages of study preparation and approval. The obligatory part in each procedure was acquisition of conditions, opinions and approvals from the institutions in charge of protection of nature, of cultural monuments and from the water resources board. Environmental protection measures and monitoring programmes were incorporated into motorway detailed designs in order to ensure the implementation of the activities required in the study during motorway construction. The actions needed for protection of the cultural heritage were paid special attention. Environmental protection measures are being currently implemented together with the relevant monitoring programmes in motorway construction, and the environmental protective actions already undertaken during construction of motorway sections in Corridor X confirm that the EIA procedure has been correctly implemented.

In the first phase of design, usually is considered several alternatives gas pipeline route. In general, during the planning of the pipeline route, we try to follow the line infrastructure objects (roads, power lines, etc.) for the rational use of space. Also, if possible, we choose plains regions for several reasons: the safety of the pipeline, ease of construction without further environmental degradation, restore the environment (landscape) in its original condition after construction. When designing and later during the construction of the pipeline are applied most relevant ecological criteria, using the existing infrastructure corridors as much as possible, respecting the measures prescribed by the Environmental Impact Study, with the aim of rational land use and environmental protection.

There is a possibility of collision with birds and other animals which is especially emphasized in the vicinity of protected areas. Noise burdening of the environment is much more pronounced during the utilization phase, and the implementation of protective measures is more difficult because of the obligatory coordination with the institutions in charge of the air traffic control and safety. The possibilities of implementing the guidelines for protection from light pollution are also limited due to collisions with regulations regarding air traffic and security. Security - accidental aspect is also highly accentuated and is covered by a largely greater number of compulsory documentation (Airport Manual, ICAO documents etc.). The question of drainage and treatment of precipitation from manipulative surfaces is a problem which requires special attention, especially in the water protection zones. For all the above mentioned reasons, it is evident that there is a great need for consultation with institutions which are not directly included into an EIA process but on which the subsequent operation of an airport highly depends. Concurrently with these consultations, in certain cases there is a need for the ornithological research (for the reasons of securing the air traffic and/or avoiding the impact on protected bird species), i.e. for the specific analysis of active and passive measures to be taken in order to mitigate the noise impact which may bear a negative effect to the surrounding population's health. Involvement of public in the early stage of the EIA process and, before all, local community which is influenced the most by the intervention's negative effects has again proven to be highly beneficial, simplifying the course of public debate as well as the EIA process itself.

At the Handover Date, the Concessionaire (MZLZ – Me unarodna Zra na Luka Zagreb d.d.) will take-over the airport operations, the airport staff and the airport premises within the concession Site for a period of 30 years.During the first 3 years, the Concessionaire MZLZ will operate the existing airport installations and build a new terminal building, then will extend the terminal in a later operation. It is therefore of primary importance for the Concessionaire MZLZ to know and evaluate the Pre-existing Environmental Conditions within the concession Site and its surroundings, with a specific focus on areas where construction works are to be undertaken. Consequently, MZLZ undertook an Environmental Baseline Study, with main assessment concerns Air quality, noise conditions, ecology, groundwater and surface water, stormwater and wastewater, soil pollution, waste management, lead and asbestos. Even if all environmental topics have been investigated, particular attention was given to potential soil and groundwater pollutions, Zagreb airport being situated in the central part Zagreb protected aquifer and potentially subject to historical pollution (due to civil and military activities). Regarding future potential environmental issues, the concession time could be split in several periods, with an imbrication of operating and building phases. MZLZ has produced an Environmental Management and Monitoring Plan, a document intended to be an overview document that guides environmental management and monitoring on all the aspects of the project for the whole concession time. Methodological contruction of these two reports (EBR and EMMPR) and main findings are discussed in the following paper.

Habitat fragmentation, the subdivision of a large area of habitat into smaller, often isolated patches, contribute to the erosion of genetic diversity through genetic drift and inbreeding. The development of a dense network of transport infrastructure is one of major drivers of fragmentation and loss of habitat connectivity and it has to be properly evaluated during the process of impact assessment. In this paper we present the examples of the negative influence of transport infrastructure on the genetic structure of insects, amphibians, small and large mammals, as well as the example of the well conducted planning of the green bridge on highway Zagreb – Rijeka in Croatia. Presented examples support the necessity to evaluate the effects of habitat fragmentation and propose acceptable mitigation measures during the EIA studies for the development of transport infrastructure.

Spatial sound propagation presented by noise map is an extremely important part of an environmental impact study. Noise map is defined as a representation of the current and/or predicted noise imission in the observed area. Noise levels are expressed as acoustic value (Lden, Lday and Lnight) describing the noise harmful to human health. In creation of noise maps using computer program SoundPlan version 7.1, standards prescribed by the Ordinance on the method of preparation and content of noise maps and action plans and on the method of calculating limit values of noise indicators (OG 75/09) are used, in which certain situations and meteorological parameters are already included. Noise propagation is affected by atmospheric condition. Temperature inversion phenomenon is significant for the occurrence of zones of audibility and tranquility in the area observed. Therefore settlements closest to some future projects in an area are not necessarily exposed the most to the potential noise. Noise calculation includes meteorological parameters as wind direction and speed and average values of temperature, humidity and air pressure. Combining extremely stable atmospheric condition and unfavorable meteorological parameters for the surrounding residential areas, especially wind direction and speed, the worst case of noise propagation is achieved. This paper will show the noise levels obtained for the worst case in comparison to the conventional spatial noise propagation calculation prescribed by the Ordinance on the method of preparation and content of noise maps and action plans and on the method of calculating limit values of noise indicators (OG 75/09).

Also, for the need of environmental impact assessments, where the project’s impact on air quality is analyzed, it is necessary to perform determination of the current status and monitoring of air quality (Regulation on the environmental impact assessment; OG no. 64/08). In Croatia, air quality monitoring is standardly done with emission and immission monitoring stations, using physicochemical methods, whereby the focus is put on the assessment of parameters of the current air quality with great time and relatively low spatial resolution of the results (due to the high cost of the measuring instruments). Due to the fact that lichens receive all necessary water from the air, they are among the most commonly used biological indicators for the assessment of air quality in the world, significant for showing the multi-pollutant/multi-effect state of the environment (Gothenburg Protocol, CLRTAP). By specifying the range of lichen species (since there are sensitive and resistant species) one can fairly quickly assess and map the long-term (cumulative) effects of air pollution over large areas, something that is practically not possible when using the standard approach with measuring stations. The paper shows that the analysis of the spatial distribution of indicator species of lichen is an ideal supplement to the standard approach, more suitable for identifying vulnerable areas, estimating the scope of air pollution from specific sources and optimization of the locations for the monitoring stations.

In European terms, the share of carbon emissions of Bosnia and Herzegovina is negligible, but Bosnia and Herzegovina is located in an area where expected significant, unfavorable climate changes. The role of ICT in reducing carbon emissions and in the fight against climate change is multiple and complex. Taking into consideration that the ICT technology and source of pollution of the environment, what is on this area, specially treated by the Law on Waste Management and the Environmental Protection Act, this paper is primarily seen as a means of reducing the negative trace in other systems. The aim of this paper is to contribute to the scientific of clarification in basically still insufficiently clearer nature of the influence of ICT on the environment. The conclusion work is that the level and method application of information and communication technologies, particularly based on renewable energy sources, and which has a positive interaction with other solutions, can have a significant impact on reducing carbon emissions, and thus directly contribute to aspect of sustainable development in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Bilanca emisija pojedinog zahvata može biti pozitivna i negativna. Pozitivna bilanca prisutna je kod projekata koji ispuštaju višak stakleni kih plinova u odnosu na prirodni ciklus (npr. sje a šume prilikom izgradnje prometnice proizvodi višak emisija CO2 zbog gubitka drvne mase, te korištenja mehanizacije i kasnije eksploatacije prometnice). Negativna bilanca emisija javlja se npr. prilikom izgradnje i korištenja vjetroelektrane.

Strossmayer University of Osijek, Department of Biology, Cara Hadrijana bb, Osijek, Croatia (oantonic@oikon.hr) 2 Abstract Paper discusses the possibility of neutralization (offset) of greenhouse gases during development projects. Intervention may have positive and negative emissions balace. The positive balance is present in projects that emit greenhouse gases in excess compared to the natural cycle (eg. deforestation while building roads results with CO2 emissions due to the loss of trees, use of a machinery and the subsequent exploitation of roads). The negative balance of emission occurs, for example, when wind farms are built. In this case, CO2 emissions during construction are negligible in relation to the avoidance of CO2 emissions during the life of wind plant that would otherwise be present at equivalent energy production in power plants using fossil fuels. A project with negative balance can 'produce', verify and issue carbon credits to neutralize greenhouse gas emissions of a project with the positive emissions balance. Climate change caused by human activities is global problem that requires global solution, so carbon credits could be bought and sold on the international voluntary carbon market. Overall positive balance (ie surplus) of greenhouse gas emissions can be offset by verified projects from all continents, including renewable energy projects, reforestation and forest protection and landfills management (avoiding methane emissions).

The most effective way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the cement industry is the use of alternative fuels originating from biomass. Therefore, several procedures of reviewing the need for environmental impact assessment/s were conducted in cement plants. The aim of this paper was to determine, by energy recovery, the impact of using olive pomace as an alternative fuel in the cement production process through the emission of carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, dioxins, furans and heavy metals, as well as the comparison of the observed fuels’ calorific values in the production process of cement company CEMEX Croatia. In a sample of entities of 120 daily average emission measurements of carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides (60 days of measurement in which exclusively fossil fuel was used -30 days in 2011 and 30 days in 2012) and occasional measurements of dioxins, furans and heavy metals, in addition to 60 days in which the amount of olive pomace used was defined as an alternative fuel (60 days in 2011 and 60 days in 2012), there was a statistically significant difference in defined clusters. Univariate analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed statistically significant differences in CO2 emissions between clusters of measurements that used olive pomace and those which did not, while emission values from other observed parameters also indicate reduced emission levels, but do not show statistical significance. All emissions results were compared with models and calculation balance emissions from the procedure of environmental impact assessment.

The principle has to be applied already in the process of environmental impact assessment for any project assessed as having effect on the status of bodies of surface water and groundwater, including transitional and coastal waters. In principle, a combined approach means that assessment of impact of a project on the status of water is identified by combining assessment of the impact of the project on the status of water bodies which are under its impact by applying the water quality standards and restriction or control of emissions of wastewater discharged as the result of such project by applying the effluent quality standards. In that process, achievement of the required objectives for the protection of water and the aquatic environment should be taken into account. If the required status of the water body receiving wastewater cannot be achieved by restricting wastewater emissions, it is necessary to set stricter emission limit values or take other measures which have to facilitate achievement of at least good status of the water body receiving discharged wastewater.

The recently obtained information on expected impact of climate change on the Central Europe and Mediterranean region, and importance of the impact on the hydrological conditions of the largest Croatian rivers is presented. The long-term impact of possible climate change is correlated with the period of construction and operation of the hydropower projects, and the need is pointed out for such environmental and nature impact assessments to consider the climate change aspects. The considerations encompass options ranging from the “as is" scenario to consideration of the the hydropower project impact on modified environment and changed nature assets. In conclusion, a proposal is made that climate change be included in the environmental and nature impact assessments of hydropower projects, and the impact assessment methods are suggested.

A total of 9 reaches were assessed on the Drava river from 0+000 km to 98+100. The final score was derived based on available data for a wide spectrum of hydromorphological features, historical data and a field survey. The year 1784 was used as the reference year as before that there were no significant interventions to the Drava river bed and canal. The depicted assessment procedure allows valuation of the type and level of impact while enabling the defining of measures proposed within the framework of environmental impact assessment for this type of project, or in the case of this project, the impact on the ecological status / ecological potential of the affected reach.

Considering contamination risks, water is one of particularly sensitive segments of the environment. Large projects situated in natural setting affect both flora and fauna, but such impacts could be reduced to minimum if all relevant parameters were taken into consideration. Generally, construction and operation of hydropower facilities, as any other human activity, affect the nature and environment. Today, when the environmental and nature protection requirements are very strict and highly limiting, facilities are planned and designed so as to meet all requirements and limitations. On the other hand, multipurpose hydropower facilities are presently highlighted as drivers of development, and not only in a populated gravitating areas, but also of economic and social growth in the greater region. They should therefore be considered as contributors to sustainable regional development. Speaking of the surface water (river) impact, construction of the Osijek Multipurpose Hydropower System (MHS) is expected to cause certain changes in the status of water. The paper describes present status of water at the future Osijek MHS site, and compares it with presumed future status. It highlights possible changes in water status considering physicochemical indicators used to monitor water quality biological elements, and possible changes in composition and structure of the biological quality elements of water, as well as possible changes in composition of the biological quality elements that are used, along with the hydrological quality elements, as descriptors of surface water ecological status.

U skladu s tim razvijala se postupno i regulativa u vezi sa zaštitom od toplinskog optere enja temeljena i na vrlo opsežnim i kompleksnim istraživanjima. S obzirom da je u to doba Hrvatska skupa sa Slovenijom ve pripremala izgradnju Nuklearne elektrane Krško, a u planu je bila i druga zajedni ka elektrana u Hrvatskoj (intenzivno su analizirane lokacije Prevlaka na Savi nizvodno od Zagreba te Vir na istoimenom otoku) i u nas se problematika toplinskog optere enja istraživala ve u tim ranim fazama, a postupno se stvorila i odgovaraju a pozicija u regulativi u vezi s tim. Me utim, kako se nuklearni program nije nastavio, a u posljednjih tridesetak godina pušteno je u rad svega nekoliko manjih termoenergetskih objekata regulativa se na ovom podru ju nije razvijala i danas je ona manjkava i nepotpuna što može izazvati probleme i nesporazume pri licenciranju objekata koji se koriste proto nim sustavom hla enja.

Accordingly, regulations related to thermal pollution has been developed gradually, based on quite detailed and complex research. During the seventies Croatia had already prepared a construction of Nuclear Power Plant Krško with Slovenia and another common power plant in Croatia was planned (locations of Prevlaka on the Sava river downstream from Zagreb and Vir on the island of Vir were intensely analysed), so thermal pollution issue had already been researched in these early phases and gradually a certain status in regulations has been created as well. However, as nuclear programme was not continued and in the last thirty years only several smaller thermal power plants were started up, regulations in this field were not developed and as such it is insufficient and incomplete, which may cause problems and misunderstandings when licensing the plants using once-through cooling system. This paper will indicate an overview of main parameters usually regulated, it will describe the EU practice and regulations related to this issue, it will indicate a state overview of local thermal power plants and argued proposal of criteria adjusted to our specific conditions. Possible basic environmental protection measures related to the thermal pollution will be presented as well. The article will help in preparing the environmental impact assessment in environmental impact studies where the problem with thermal pollution exists.

Cilj procjene u inaka na okoliš je u utvr ivanju obima, ja ine i trajanja razmatranog u inka na tlo kao i na ostale okolišne sastavnice. Nakon pristupanja Republike Hrvatske u EU, procjena utjecaja na okoliš treba uklju iti sve potrebne mjere zaštite tla i postupke koji su propisani razli itim okolišnim direktivama EU. Jedan od nedostataka zaštite tla u EU je nepostojanje jedinstvene zakonske osnove koja bi sveobuhvatno na jednom mjestu propisala sve potrebne mjere zaštite. Nedavna rasprava vezana uz zaštitu tla u EU imala je svoje polazište u Tematskoj strategiji o zaštiti tla u EU, donesenoj 2006. god. i Prijedlogu za okvirnu direktivu o tlu za koju, do danas, nije postignut zajedni ki dogovor izme u zemalja lanica. Posredno me utim, zaštita tla je uklju ena u više okvirnih direktiva EU kao EU direktiva o otpadu, Okvirnoj direktivi o vodama i Direktivi o okolišnoj odgovornosti. Jedan od najneposrednijih pomaka spram reguliranja zaštite tla predstavlja EU direktiva o industrijskim emisijama (IED) koja zahtjeva isho enje okolišnih dozvola za postrojenja u kojima su propisani zahtjevi za periodi ko pra enje (monitoring) tla i podzemnih voda (svakih 10 odnosno 5 godina).

The aim of EIA is to assess the spreading, intensity and duration of the respective impact on soils together with other environmental components. One of the drawbacks of soil protection in EU and Croatia, in respect to other components such as air, is the unavailability of integrated legislation in respect to soils. Recent discussions in EU regarding soil protection was formulated in EU thematic strategy on soil protection, published in 2006 and in Proposal for Soil Framework Directive for which, up to the present, no common agreement within parties has been reached. However, soil protection was indirectly included in many other EU directives such as EU Waste Framework directive, EU Water Framework directive and EU Directive on Environmental Liability. One of the most straightforward steps towards regulation of soil protection presents EU Directive on Industrial Emissions (IED) which requires issuing permits for respective industrial installations in which requirements for periodic soil and groundwater monitoring (every 10 and 5 year respectively) are obligatory. IED also prescribes the production of a baseliner report before starting operation of an installation, consisting of available existing information on soil and groundwater measurements. After the site cessation, the state of soil and groundwater contamination must be assessed and compared to the baseliner report and in case of significant pollution, the owner should undertake remediation measures. These new measures within IED shall require adaptation of EIA procedures and the implementation of a new soil management system in Croatia which is presented in this work.

The green, is an area of very closely trimmed grass on relatively even, smooth ground surrounding the hole, allowing players to make precision strokes on it. The green is typically surrounded by slightly higher grass, and then by rough. This longer grass between the green and rough is known as the fringe and is designed to slow and stop balls rolling along the green from an approach shot or errant putt, preventing them from exiting the green.all the grass surfaces require special treatment and use of fertilizers and plant protection agents. During Environmental Impact Assessments of Golf Courses, both the public and the experts are particularly focused on impacts of fertilizers and plant protection products on the environment, namely the soil and surface and groundwater. The paper therefore deals with the impact of golf courses on the environment, and agroecosystems in particular, through extensive usage and maintenance of grass surfaces, use of fertilizers and plant protection products. For comparison purposes, appropriate research was also conducted for production of crops which also require application of fertilizers and crop protection agents. The obtained results contribute to a more objective impact assessment of golf courses on agroecosystem (groundwater in extension), as compared to thepotential crop production at the same location.

Environmental Services – Member of HEP Group, Savska cesta 41, Zagreb, Croatia (antun.schaller@apo.hr) Abstract „Waste Management Centre of the County of Zadar“ is planned on the site of abandoned quarries close to Donje Biljane (Town of Benkovac). The site is some 20 km distant to both Zadar (direction west) and Benkovac (direction south-east). In accordance with actual regulations and plans, the Centre is conceived as the core of the planned waste management system in the County of Zadar. Since the received waste is, due to recycling, supposed to be appropriately treated on the site, the Centre will present a modern industrial facility. The most of municipal and non-hazardous industrial waste received from the entire territory of the County of Zadar will be subdued to mechanicalbiological treatment to produce useful secondary raw materials and/or energy. With respect to the site characteristics (high permeability of prevailing limestones and dolomites), essential meteorological-climatic features (wind, precipitation) and the nature of the Centre itself, the article will cover possible environmental impacts of the Centre, including also noise, vibrations and odours. Respective environmental protection and human health preservation measures will be also elaborated. They encompass both constructional (engineering barriers, state of underpressure, water screen etc.) and operative protective actions to be undertaken during the period of the Centre operation. Environmental protection measures in emergency situations and in post-closure period, will also be taken into consideration.

These activities cover a range of diverse environmental impact in water quality, soil, air, toxins in tailing damps and other components. The issue of environment protection has never been treated and regulated before in systematic manner. Trepça mining possess a serious public health problem due to lack of proper waste management, uncontained tailing damps and lack of facilities for treating metallurgical waste. Discharging from open tailing damps, eroding, contaminated buildings are found to be the main source of contamination of air, soil and water in Mitrovica region were the Trepça mine is located. This study addressed the current situation of metallurgical waste in Trepça. It has found a number of areas were remediation actions need to be taken in order to reduce the health hazard of community leaving there and increase the regional socio-economic stability. The Environmental Impact Assessment was undertaken to assess the human, environmental and socioeconomical parameters of the environment surrounding Trepça complex area.

It is thus advised, based on the documented Study, to reuse as much is possible of these materials, possibly in the production of cement, concrete and/or used for other purposes. Croatian cement plants produce Portland cement (PC), which consumes huge amount of raw materials and fossil fuels, contributing significantly to the overall anthropogenic CO2 emission. Calcium sulfoaluminate cement (CSAC) is a relatively new type of binder that can be used instead of PC and its production significantly reduces energy consumption (low-energy) and CO2 emissions. In this paper, the potential benefits offered by CSAC production from the bottom ash and gypsum generated in the process of wet flue-gas desulfurisation of thermal plant Plomin are outlined. Qualitative mineral composition of CSAC had been determined by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), and mass fraction of Klein’s compound (the principal hydraulic mineral) had been determined by quantitative XRD. Rate of heat generation during hydration of CSAC prepared had been determined by microcalorimetry. Volume stability, compressive and flexural strength of standard size specimens had been determined. In conclusion, CSAC production offers an alternative and feasible way of industrial waste minimization.

One of the steps towards realization of these projects is the environmental impact assessment procedure as a regulatory measure for appointing environmental protection measures. In the environmental impact assessments implemented up till now for waste water treatment projects, the problem of appointing measures related to sludge management arises, and which is a result of systematic neglection of the problem of sludge created in the operation of the plants. The intention is to point out the deficiency of the legislation and well as plans and programs through which the area of water protection, environmental protection and waste management are regulated as well as indicate the reasons behind pre-existing approach. In conclusion, recommended is a gradual transition towards regulated conditions for the planned as well as existing treatment plans.

Pursuant to the Regulation on Environmental Impact Assessment (OG 064/08 and 67/09), screening is mandatory for facilities with capacities larger than 10.000 PE and Environmental Impact Assessment for facilities with capacities exceeding 50.000 PE. The problem of determining the quantity of produced waste gases and defining measures for prevention of their adverse impact on the environment is always present in the environmental impact assessment process. A problem with unpleasant odour on aerobic waste water treatment plants occurs primarily in the mechanical treatment of waste water and in sludge processing and treatment. This paper deals with the generation and treatment of waste gases in mechanical waste water treatment and analyses advantages and disadvantages of the currently most common methods of waste gases treatment. This paper, inter alia, presents a methodology for calculating the quantity of hydrogen sulphide as the most significant cause of unpleasant odours, the mechanism of their creation and also presents the most frequently applied practical techniques for the reduction of waste gases.

Analysis of landscape into its elements and defining visual and structural features, create a basis for determination of specific landscape features and elements of landscape structure. For the purpose of effective landscape and visual impact assessment and their protection it is necessary to develop a systematic landscape basis on the state level which would define the landscape characteristics, its values and sensitivity which would in development process enable harmonization of development and protection interests. Definition of the interrelationships between landscape elements and relations with the planned intervention, enables analysis of impacts on visual elements of landscape, sensitivity of landscape patterns on the planned changes, visual exposure of interventions and desirability of views. In development projects, the protection of the landscape is an important part of environmental impact assessment and from that point of view it would be important to prepare guidelines for landscape and visual impact assessment that would contribute to consistency, credibility and effectiveness of landscape protection.

As a consequence, when such studies are developed, their influence on the estimation of the justifiability of some interventions in space is minimal. Neglecting them is the lack of understanding of the level to which the application of such studies could improve the preservation of the quality of incorporation into space. The appreciation of arguments regarding the protection of valuable sights would contribute to the maintenance of a space’s identity. Such studies are essential, especially in case of interesting landscapes which constitute resources for tourism offerings. The aim of the paper is to demonstrate how neglecting visual changes can lead to losses in the experiential value of space. The paper investigates various methods used in such studies and shows the use of various procedures in order to justify construction. The arguments regarding the impact of estimated damage resulting from changes in the landscape cannot measure up to the more aggressive economic arguments which are usually dominant in decisionmaking. Without denying the fact that the new constructions are indispensable, the assessment of visual impact on planned changes, which would be the consequence of such constructions, shows how the damage from visual changes could be mitigated, prevented, or significantly decreased. In doing so, professional ethics does not allow the authors of such assessments to justify investors’ interests in the course of such processes; it rather objectivises the damage caused by changes to the existing visual identity of a space.

Environmental impact assessment usually evaluates impacts of technological solutions rather than spatial ones. Environmental Impact Study (EIS) assesses the acceptability of specific intervention proposed on a specific site, usually by single Preliminary design. In further development of project documentation it is subject to change without possibility for evaluating environmental protection aspects of those changes. Hence, the Preliminary design has to propose several alternatives which would consider spatial aspects of intervention’s elements within the site selection process. Evaluating the vulnerability of landscape qualities, in relation to potential influence of intervention, points to more or less vulnerable areas within the site. Moreover, it opens up the possibility of proposing several spatial alternatives of the intervention within the site. After verifying the acceptability of alternative spatial solutions, an EIS would have an opportunity to select the most acceptable alternative between ones which have already taken into account development and conservation requirements. If development alternatives were not proposed by Preliminary design, their impacts cannot be evaluated nor taken into consideration within an EIS. An EIS should then determine measure requiring instrument of landscape qualities evaluation, to be prepared within Preliminary project. This procedure will be presented on the example of wind farm.

U dosadašnjoj praksi u Hrvatskoj, analize kumulativnog vizualnog utjecaja na krajobraz su izra ivane samo na lokalnoj razini, odnosno u sklopu nekoliko postupaka procjene utjecaja na okoliš (PUO). Pritom su izgra ene VE obuhva ene kao element promatranog krajobraza, dok su planirane VE obra ene samo u slu ajevima kada je više lokacija za VE promatrano unutar jednog postupka PUO ili je više lokacija jednog investitora razdvojeno na više uzastopnih postupaka PUO. U radu je predstavljena metoda procjene kumulativnog vizualnog utjecaja nekoliko planiranih VE. Metoda je obuhvatila izradu teorijske vidljivosti svake planirane VE u okviru rasterskog geoinformacijskog sustava (na bazi digitalnog modela terena), preklapanje prostornih razdioba teorijske vidljivosti za pojedina ne VE i tabli no predo avanje potencijalne vidljivosti više VE iz okolnih naselja.

So far in Croatia, cumulative visual impact assessments on the landscape have been made only at a local level, i.e. as a part of a few procedures of environmental impact assessment (EIA). In these procedures, built WF were included as an element of the observed landscape, while the planned WF were covered only in cases where multiple locations for WF were considered within one EIA procedure or multiple locations proposed by one investor were allocated to several consecutive EIA procedures. This paper presents the method for estimating the cumulative visual impact of several planned WF. This method included development of theoretical visibility of each planned WF within the raster geo-information system (based on a digital terrain model), overlapping spatial distribution of theoretical visibility for individual WF, and tabular presentation of the potential visibility of more wind turbines from surrounding settlements. Moreover, the method can be used for cumulative visual impact assessment of the existing and planned WF which has, due to the growing number of built WF, potential use in environmental impact studies, but also in landscape analysis for strategic environmental impact assessment of WF.

According to the OIEKPP Register, in addition to 9 existent wind farms, there are plans to construct more than 80 wind farms along the Croatian coast. However, this area is the major breeding area of several endangered raptor species that show high probabilities of collisions with wind turbines. Hence, proper spatial planning and sound guidance documents for environmental impact assessments (EIA) are needed in order to minimize negative effects of wind farms on the environment and biodiversity. I compared two relevant Croatian guidance documents (1) Smjernice za izradu studija utjecaja na okoliš za zahvate vjetroelektrana and (2) Valorizacija biološke raznolikosti podru ja Dalmacije i okvirna procjena prihvatljivosti za izgradnju vjetroelektrana with the EU Guidance document on wind energy development in accordance with the EU nature legislation issued by the European Commission. Moreover, I analysed two “case-EIAs” that did approve the construction of wind farms within designated Special Protection Areas (SPA) and that have been endorsed by the competent Ministry. On the one hand the Croatian guidance documents recommend comprehensive field surveys, but on the other hand they fail to prioritize research efforts for bird species according to their collision risk. In addition, they short come to define flyover observations of birds as compulsory. The analysis of the two case EIAs revealed that neither the Croatian nor the European Guidelines have been applied properly resulting in that both EIAs failed to substantially assess potential impacts on sensitive bird species. The results clearly emphasize the need for legally binding national guidance documents that are in compliance with EU standards.

Dodatno sam analizirao dva slu aja u kojima su SUO odobrile zahvat izgradnje vjetroelektrane na Podru jima posebne zaštite (SPA). Za obje studije je nadležno ministarstvo izdalo povoljno Rješenje. Obje hrvatske smjernice preporu uju opsežna terenska istraživanja, ali nedostaje prioritizacija istraživa kog napora u odnosu na vrste ptica i njihovog potencijala stradavanja. Dodatno, izostavlja se odrednica obvezatnog pra enja preleta tijekom izrade SUO. Analiza dviju SUO pokazuje da tijekom izrade nisu uvažene niti hrvatske niti europske smjernice, što je rezultiralo time da u suštini utjecaj na ptice nije adekvatno procijenjen. Rezultati jasno isti u potrebu za zakonski obvezuju im smjernicama koje su usuglašene sa standardima EU.

Strossmayera u Osijeku, Odjel za biologiju, Cara Hadrijana bb, Osijek, Hrvatska Sažetak Vjetroelektrane, kao obnovljivi energetski izvori, mogu se sagledavati kao ponori ugljika, ukoliko se predvi ena proizvodnja energije dovede u relaciju s emisijom CO2 elektrane na fosilna goriva pri proizvodnji iste koli ine energije. S druge strane, u šumskom se ekosustavu CO2 iz atmosfere kroz procese fotosinteze trajnije veže u drvnoj masi. Stoga se u slu aju izgradnje VE u šumi može postaviti pitanje (što se i doga a na javnim raspravama u postupku PUO za VE) kakav je odnos (bilanca ugljika) koristi od VE i šteta od gubitka šumskog ekosustava, kao i od emisije CO2 tijekom uklanjanja drvne mase te izgradnje prometnica. U radu se predstavlja primjer za VE Fužine koja je planirana u podru ju preborne bukovo-jelove šume s visokom prosje nom drvnom zalihom (252 m3/ha na podru ju trajnog zaposjedanja), pri emu se za potrebe izgradnje planira sje a cca 17 ha te šume s oko 4.300 m3 drvne mase. Osim toga, planira se izgradnja 4,2 km novih te proširenje 12,6 km postoje ih šumskih prometnica. Analizom je izra unato da promatrana šuma godišnje veže 2,60 tC/ha (tj. 9,53 t CO2/ha). Gubitak površine šume i posljedi ni izostanak vezanja CO2, uz ukupno 6.374 t emitiranog CO2 jednokratno tijekom radova i kasnijom razgradnjom mrtve organske tvari predstavlja zna ajno manji gubitak u odnosu na doprinos u smanjenju emisije CO2 radom VE, koji se kre e od 28.077 t do 69.144 t CO2 godišnje (u slu aju supstitucije proizvodnje iz svih izvora HEP-a ili samo iz termoelektrana).

J. Strossmayer University of Osijek, Department of biology, Cara Hadrijana bb, Osijek, Croatia Abstract Wind powerplants, as renewable energy sources, can be observed as carbon sinks if anticipated energy production is put in relation with CO2 emission of fossil-fuel power plant for producing same amount of energy. On the other hand, forest ecosystem trough photosynthesis is binding atmospheric CO2 in wood mass. Thus, question relating carbon balance i.e. ratio of benefit from WP and damages from forest ecosystem loss, as well as CO2 emission during wood mass removal and building roads, can be made (and is made during public insights during EIA creation for WP). In this paper, example for WP Fužine is presented which is planned in area covered by beech/silver fir forest of uneven age with high average growing stock (252 m3/ha at permanent occupation area) where clear-cutting of about 17 ha with around 4300 m3 of wood mass would be done. Also, 4.2 km of new road would be built, and 12.6 km of existing roads would be widened. The result of this analysis is sequestration of 2.60 tC/ha i.e. 9.53 tCO2/ha annually by observed forest. The loss of forest area and consequential inability of CO2 sequestration with total of 6,374 t of CO2 emitted, immediately during stated operations and later by decaying of organic matter is significantly smaller loss compared with the benefit for reduction of CO2 emission for 28,077 i.e. 69,144 tons of CO2 annually (in case of substitution of production from all HEP sources i.e. just from thermal powerplant).

All solar power plants installed in Croatia are smaller than 10MW, so there are no environmental impact assessments for solar power plants in Croatia. The research shows environmental impact study for exemplary solar power plant. It'll work as a prototype for future power plants' assessments. The description of the action is carried out based on engineering practice in solar plants implementation. The description of the environment is produced using digital ortoimages, studies and available data on location. Calculation of insolation and production of electrical energy is implemented with RETScreen tool. The necessary works on energy distribution network are described, so that the impact of the works on the network can also be a part of the study.

J. Strossmayer in Osijek, Cara Hadrijana bb, Osijek, Croatia Abstract Macrophytes often present important component of freshwater habitats. Therefore, changes in composition and abundance of taxa forming macrophyte communities may provide valuable insight into current state of freshwater habitats. National methodology for assessment of ecological status in waters has recently been developed, compliant with the requirements of European Water Framework Directive. National methodology proposes two methods for assessment of biological quality of running waters based on macrophytes as bioindicators: 1) biocenological method and 2) reference index calculation method. Assessment of current state of the environment using those methods may be valuable source of information for evaluation of likely impacts of planned construction projects on surrounding lotic freshwater habitats as well as proposition of mitigation measures and monitoring plan.

Za bitne pokazatelje utjecaja zahvata na okoliš prihvatljive razine mogu biti a) propisane (zakonski i podzakonski akti), b) preporu ene (npr. smjernice, iskustva iz prakse) ili c) ni propisane niti preporu ene. U zadnjem slu aju intenzitet utjecaja procjenjuje se metodom stru ne procjene, koja se, budu i da nema smjernica, može osnivati na analizama širokog raspona složenosti. Korištenje ove metode stoga nije poželjno, jer a) može znatno utjecati na raspon cijena izrade studije (koja je komercijalna djelatnost) i b) nije uvijek razumljiva nestru noj javnosti. Sli an problem povezan je i s propisivanjem monitoringa, budu i da bi reakcija na rezultate monitoringa morala biti povezana s vrijednostima mjerenih parametara (pove anje za odre eni iznos, prekora enje neke grani ne vrijednosti i sl.). Dva primjera ovakvih pokazatelja koji se javljaju u PUO za morske luke prikazana su u radu: koncentracija ekotoksi nih metala u sedimentu i vrijeme zadržavanja mora u luci. Objašnjen je razlog zbog kojeg ne postoje preporu ene/propisane grani ne vrijednosti za ove pokazatelje. Kao rješenje predlaže se da se kroz smjernice za izradu SUO za odre ene vrste zahvata (u ovom slu aju morske luke) odrede minimalni zahtjevi za analizu i na in obrade za ovakvu vrstu pokazatelja.

For selected environmental indicators their acceptable (limit) levels can be: a) regulated (by legislation), b) recommended (e.g. guidelines, experience from practice) or c) none of the above. In the letter case intensity of an impact is appraised using the method of expert assessment, which, if there are no guidelines, can be based on wide range of analyses which can significantly differ in complexity from each other. Thus, this method is not preferred because: a) there is significant impact on price range for development of an environmental impact study (which is commercial activity) and b) it is not always understandable to non-expert public. Similar problem appears also at monitoring plan development because reaction to the results of a monitoring should be related to the values of measured parameters (e.g. increase for some defined amount, exceeding some threshold values, etc.). Two examples of such parameters important for EIA for marine ports are presented in the paper: 1) concentration of ecotoxic metals in sediment and 2) water resident time in port. The reason why the guidelines/regulations for these parameters do not exist is explained. In order to standardize and improve the quality of EIA it is proposed to develop the guidelines for certain types of projects (in this case for marine ports) in which minimum requirements for the level of analysis and data processing for such indicators would be defined.

U sklopu karakterizacije okoliša, na primjeru postoje eg postrojenja, provedena je procjena utjecaja na okoliš, s naglaskom na utjecaj emisija u zrak. Metodologija procjene se temeljila na H1 horizontalnim smjernicama Britanske agencije za zaštitu okoliša (H1 Environmental Risks Assessment). Najprije su utvr eni svi nepokretni izvori emisije one iš uju ih tvari u zrak na lokaciji.

As a part of this report, environmental risks assessment was implemented for a case study. The horizontal guidance H1 Environmental Risks Assessment of The Environmental Agency of UK was used. The first step was an identification of all point sources of emission into the air at location. Based on the available data (height, location and gas efflux velocity of releases, total flow, mass concentration of released substances, annual mass emission of released substances), using H1 software tool, insignificant and significant emissions into the air have been identified. For significant emissions of SO2, NOx and particulate matter into the air detailed dispersion modelling were performed using ISCST3 (Industrial Source Complex Short Term) model with additional graphic software tool AERMOD View. It was found that estimated impact of emissions was limited up to few hundred meters from facility. For “worst case” scenario, using heavy oil as a fuel and at the low wind speed, a concentration of SO2 higher then ELV was projected.

In order to assess the impact of future marina operations on noise levels in the environment, it is necessary to perform an acoustic impact assessment and noise modelling of the future state. An example is shown for one of the planned marinas in the Croatian side of the Adriatic. The objectives of the assessment were to identify potential impacts of noise from operations within port facilities on the nearest residential dwellings in the vicinity of the port. Methodology adopted for the assessment involves identification of noise sensitive residential dwellings, measurement of existing ambient noise levels, identification of main noise sources associated to the operations within nautical tourism port, modelling and prediction of noise levels that will be emitted exclusively from new sources of sound and recommendations related to environmental protection measures in case of exceeding allowed noise levels prescribed by law. Computational modelling can provide valid noise imission levels, predicted based on future emission of newly planned noise source and analysis of future noise levels in the environment. Modelling results will be presented in the form of noise maps that are made by using software package SoundPlan 7.1, which bases its computing on equations for source emissions calculation and spreading of sound waves. Calculations were made in accordance with European standards and norms, which are accepted and prescribed by laws and regulations related to noise in the Republic of Croatia.

However, as there are still no guidelines developed for environmental impact studies (EIS) for marine ports, the quality of EIS significantly varies depending on developer. In this paper an overview of necessary research works for EIS for marine ports, purpose of these works and level of details are presented. The research works encompass: sea currents and sea level measurements with appropriate data analysis, underwater habitat survey (with emphasis on benthic habitats), sediment sampling, reconstruction of the velocity field using numerical methods, water exchange modeling with comparison of results in case of initial state and after the project realization, and landscape analysis. This paper can be considered as a contribution to development of guidelines for EIS for marine ports in the area of field and numerical research with the purpose to standardize the level of research needed for EIS for marine ports and equalize the cost for their development.

Horizontal analysis enables connection between elements within one data layer. Vertical analysis enables integrated connection of elements between more data layers. The aim of LVIA using GIS is creation of new information with manipulation and integration existing data layers with different degree of complexity. This refers to assigning different weights to different selection criteria. Landscape area or landscape patterns combined with each other and with the planned intervention, by its attractiveness or sensitivity to change. That kind of analysis is referred to as multicriteria evaluation method by decision- making in a transparent and objective manner. A possibility to analyze relevant observation points for detailed visualizations are GIS based view shed analysis. Digital Elevation Models (DEM) in combination with actual landform based on topography maps, orthophotos or thematic land use maps can be analyzed to select important vistas and areas from which a specific project might be visible. Decision-making is followed by evaluating the relationship of the landscape and planned intervention through the present state, the formation of the value system and the value judgment that the value system is applied to a specific case.

However, these activities are being carried out through separate actions of several responsible departments. Nowadays, specific areas of valuable natural and cultural heritage are being protected through normative measures, whereas relevant physical planning documents prescribe landscape protection measures. Besides these, landscape protection is also carried out through environmental protection measures defined in the process of environmental impact assessment (EIA). Investor is obliged to implement prescribed environmental protection measures even prior to construction phase, at preparatory stage, during the main design development. This phase, among others, includes development of landscape design that incorporates all environmental protection measures which are of significance for the landscape. Paper presents an overview of the landscape design process on the example of hydrotechnical structures. Ultimately, landscape design results in rehabilitation of areas affected by construction works, as well as fitting of hydrotechnical structures into surrounding landscape, thus representing a positive example of EIA as an efficient instrument for landscape protection.

U dijelu monitoringa koji se odnosi na faunu šišmiša, nezaobilaznu komponentu predstavljaju biospeleološka istraživanja, s obzirom na to da su špiljske vrste esto vjerne prebivalištima i formiraju kolonije i do nekoliko tisu a jedinki, a ve ina se nalazi i na Dodatku II Direktive o staništima.

One of the most significant are potential impacts on endangered fauna (bats and birds), which is why initial one-year monitoring is presently mandatory within EIS for wind farms. In the monitoring segment regarding bat fauna, biospeleological research is an inevitable component due to high roost fidelity of cave-dwelling species which form large colonies comprised of up to several thousand individuals, and most of which are included in Annex II of the Habitats directive as well. To date, round 9000 caves have been discovered in Croatia and at least as many have yet to be discovered. Potentially significant roost sites are determined based on morphological and microclimatic characteristics, traces, abundance and presence of recorded bats, after which the species composition and abundance is investigated, along with the time frame and way of use during the year. Obtained results enable mapping of degree of space use (DSU) and detection of species that are rarely recorded through other survey methods. This ultimately results with detailed mitigation measures design (e.g. relocation of access roads and / or wind turbines, regulation of the rotor start-up speed in relation to wind speed) as well as bat fauna postconstruction monitoring plan.

Strossmayer in Osijek, Department of Biology, Cara Hadrijana bb, Osijek, Croatia 2 Abstract During the research carried out as part of the environmental impact assessment for wind farm Jelinak, it's wider construction area has been identified as having high flora and habitats diversity. During environmental impact assessment process, mitigation measures have been appointed in order to mitigate the impacts of wind farm construction on endangered and protected flora, with the emphasis on Fritillaria messanensis ssp. gracilis (Ebel) Rix and Orchis provincialis Balb. Implementation of these mitigation measures included: field identification and delineation of above mentioned species habitat patches around wind turbine construction sites (for which higher abundance of these species has initially been determined), marking (fencing) of patches in field and consulting construction contractor during works with purpose of protecting marked areas. Field work was carried out by botanists during early phase of wind farm construction, taking into account phenological characteristics of these species. Habitat patches aimed for protection have been chosen and temporarily fenced according to estimation of species abundance and size of patch area. Spatial data analysis and identification of habitat patches for protection were done within the frame of geographic information system. Temporary fences used to mark habitat patches have been removed from the environment after construction works.

Postrojenje je projektirano tako da zadovolji sve max. ekološke zahtjeve, sve zahtjeve protupožarne zaštite, sve zahtjeve protuekplozijske zaštite. Uzajamnom sinergijom proizvodnje bioplina, biodisela te etanola stvara se zatvoreni proces u pogledu iskorištavanja sirovina i zbrinjavanja otpada, smanjuju se koli ine otpada, nema emisije štetnih plinova, a dobivamo produkte koji su potrebni na tržištu. Ulazne sirovine za proizvodnju bioplina jesu kravlja balega, sijeno, kukuruz iz kojeg se proizvodi etanol, te repi ino i frito ulje iz kojih se proizvodi biodizel. Nusproizvodi postrojenja jesu tehni ki glicerin, kukuruzna silaža te otpadna voda koji se dalje iskorištavaju za dobivanje bioplina. Osim toga, glicerin se može plasirati na tržište, kukuruzna silaža se može obraditi i prodavati kao sto na hrana a dobiveni otpadni mulj iz anaerobnog reaktora koristiti kao mineralno gnojivo jer su ovakvom proizvodnjom zadovoljeni svi toksikološki propisi za plasman sirovine na tržište. Najvažnije od svega je da se biološki otpad iskorištava za dobivanje energije umjesto da se neadekvatno odlože u okolišu, što je do sada nerijetko bila praksa. Kapacitet proizvodnje bioplinskog postrojenja je 2.2 MWh ukupne energije gdje se anaerobnom reakcijom dobiva 0,8 - 1 MWh elektri ne energije te 1,2 – 0,8 MWh (3600 MJ – 2880 MJ ) toplinske energije.

Production of biogas, biodiesel and ethanol from alternative sources of energy and their impact on the environment Martina Linari 1, Tomislav Linari 1, Dajana Ku 1 Bioplin Brinje d.o.o., Frankopanska street 13, (martina.linaric@ri.t-com.hr); 2Faculty of Chemical Technology, Maruli square 19, Zagreb, Croatia 2 Brinje, Croatia; Engineering and Abstract Prices of crude oil and petroleum products have reached a level at which we have to start thinking about alternative sources of energy, which can be organic and biological waste, like cow dung, hay, straw, corn and as such represents a high grade raw material to obtain alternative forms of energy such as biogas, biodiesel and ethanol. With mutual synergy of biogas, biodiesel and ethanol production occurs a closed circuit, regard to waste disposal and exploitation of raw materials. The plant is designed to meet all environmental requirements, all requirements of fire protection, and all the requirements of explosion protection. With such a production of bio fuels the amount of waste and emission of harmful gases are reduced and all by-products are exploited within the plant. Input charges for biogas production are cow manure and hay, corn, for the production of ethanol, rapeseed oil and waste cooking oils for production of biodiesel. Obtained plant by-products like technical glycerine, corn silage and waste waters, are used further for biogas production. Moreover, glycerol can be placed on the market, corn silage can be processed and sold as animal feed, sewage sludge from the anaerobic reactor can be used as fertilizer. Most important of all is to exploit biological waste for energy btaining instead of being inadequately disposed in the environment, which is frequently done so far. A biogas plant is designed for a capacity to produce 2.2 MWh of total energy. In anaerobic bioreactor is produced 8600 Nm3/day of biogas, from which is obtained 0,8 - 1 MWh of electricity energy and 1,2 – 0,8 MWh (3600 MJ – 2880 MJ ) of thermal energy.

Croatian legislative and institutional framework, along with readiness level of the most responsible public administration authorities and economic sectors are also analyzed. The emphasis is on analysis of binding conservation measures and realistic options for their implementation in agriculture, forestry and water management. At the same time, open questions are raised in connection with implementation indicators and costs. Assumptions are made for effective participation and cooperation among wide range of stakeholders in establishing Natura 2000 management model, whereat objectives and roles are defined. Possible implementation models are considered through Natura 2000 good practice examples from other EU states. On the other hand, the most significant difficulties and delays and/or conflicts are listed. Paper gives overview of European Commission financing resources (structural and cohesion funds) and other possibilities of (co)financing different implementation measures related to Natura 2000 areas in 2014 – 2020 period. In conclusion, functional effectiveness of the Natura 2000 programs in Croatia is evaluated, depending on realistically possible policies and implementation scenarios.

Since difficult cases can offer even more to learn from than best – practice cases, the aim of the article is to present lessons learned through dealing with difficult issues such as study of alternatives, compensating habitats, decisions about significance of plan impacts, economical interests etc. We will present some cases of plan preparation that took too much time, money and energy trying to avoid some of the Directive’s provisions or alter their interpretation. By studying EU court cases and Commission opinions as well as through communication with Commission we can predict the outcome of EU Commission pre-court procedures against Slovenia about disputable cases. Article shows that it is wiser and more efficient (in terms of time, money and staff) to follow directive’s provisions and case law than trying to ignore it and deal with consequences.

Because of that, and because of geographical and natural features of the Republic of Croatia (among the others, the potentially planed systems), there is almost no system which does not interfere with protected area and Natura 2000 areas even in a small part or which, at least indirectly, does not have impact on this area type. Benefits that this kind of systems can provide are pretty important and that is the reason for not giving up on their construction. Instead we should look for the solutions for reconciliation of a large number of possible users and interests for protection of great natural values that we possess. The conditions under which the preparation and implementation of environmental impact assessment and nature impact assessment have to be taken will be listed from the aspect of their overlap with areas of institutional nature protection on national and international level; generalizations of the procedures and suggestions for their clear, regulated and transparent implementation will be given. In the conclusion, the need to regulate relations between the state institutions towards such projects will be emphasized, in order to protect nature and general community interests as well at the same time.

In addition to basic and usual methods for inclusion of biodiversity and landscape, the methodology includes undertaking guidelines on the new obligations that have recently been incorporated into Croatian law: i) Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA); and ii) Appropriate Assessment (AA). The methodology presented in the Guidelines for the incorporation of biodiversity and landscape describes through the spatial planning process phases the incorporation of biodiversity and landscape issues parallel to the recommended SEA steps and AA steps, which is part of legally defined SEA process. The Guidelines for the Appropriate Assessment of spatial plans provide a comprehensive overview of the AA process and guidelines for AA process in spatial planning. The physical plans of two COAST pilot sites: i) Kolan Municipality and ii) Town Vis were analysed with the described methodology. Analyses of physical plans of pilot areas demonstrate the need for implementation of strategic impact assessment of the higher level plans (county spatial plans). Moreover, detailed assessment of likely adverse impacts on the ecological network and possible mitigation should be conducted through the spatial planning process.

They provide legal protection for habitats and species that are of European importance through a network of sites across the EU – the Natura 2000 Network. For projects, plans or programs an Appropriate Assessment of their influence on Natura 2000 areas is prescribed; if they are found to be unacceptable, compensatory measures can be applied in cases of great economic or social value, importance for human health, human safety and property or if the purpose of a project, plan or program is to ensure better environment conditions. In 2007, as part of the EU accession process preparations the Republic of Croatia has set up the Croatian Ecological Network that consists of areas important for preservation of certain species or habitat types. The Appropriate Assessment procedure was also introduced to legislation and applied in practice. However, compensatory measures, even though having been provided for by the legislation framework, have not yet been implemented in any of the cases. This paper gives a review of current EU and Croatian national compensatory measures legislation, shows examples of compensatory measures implementation from other EU countries and offers some implementation propositions for compensatory measures practice after the accession to the EU on 1st of July 2013.

J. Strossmayer University in Osijek, Cara Hadrijana 8/A, Osijek, Croatia Abstract Although the Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution resulted in decrease of sulphur and nitrogen emissions in Europe, a high deposition of nitrogen still presents a problem in the UNECE region with a prediction that 37% of Europe will be under the risk of eutrophication by 2020. Given that an elevated deposition of nitrogen on terrestrial habitats leads to changes in the abundance and composition of species, the use of bioindicators for exceedance of empirical critical loads has been suggested for reporting under Article 17 of the Habitat directive. There are nine Natura 2000 habitat types in Croatia that have a known empirical critical load for nitrogen deposition, but for other habitat types there is no available information (i.e. wet swamp forests, Mediterranean and karst habitats). In order to monitor the effects of atmospheric nitrogen deposition in Croatia and react promptly, there is a need to develop empirical critical loads for nitrogen for those sensitive habitat types that lack data and develop a nationwide monitoring programme for nitrogen deposition. This paper will present: 1) Natura 2000 habitat types in Croatia requiring data for an empirical critical load and/or a monitoring programme for nitrogen deposition 2) appropriate areas for monitoring and 3) methodology for empirical critical loads assessment and general plan for the implementation of the monitoring programme Keywords: CLTRAP, nitrogen critical load, eutrophication, monitoring, nature protection Ekološka mreža u kontekstu izrade i provedbe prostornih planova, primjer Primorsko-goranske županije Sonja Šiši 1, Koraljka Vahtar-Jurkovi 2 1 Javna ustanova „Priroda“, Grivica 4, Rijeka, Hrvatska (sonja.sisic@jupriroda.hr) 2 Primorsko-goranska županija, Adami eva 10, Rijeka, Hrvatska Sažetak Prema Nacrtu prijedloga uredbe o ekološkoj mreži NATURA 2000, ekološka mreža u Primorsko-goranskoj županiji obuhva a gotovo 80% kopnene površine.

In this paper we analyse the consequences of the introduction of the ecological network into spatial planning documents, and make a comparative analysis of the existing building areas and those areas which will form an integral part of the ecological network. Based on the analysis, we come to the conclusion that despite the large coverage of the future NATURA 2000 ecological network in spatial planning documents, it is nevertheless possible to achieve a balance between the needs of development on the one hand, and the protection of nature in the strict sense on the other.

The most representative area of every endangered habitat type or endangered species is selected for the purpose of its inclusion in ecological network. Only scientific and expert criteria are used in the said selection. Most of the times, one part of the area becomes incorporated within the network, while the other part of the habitat remains unenclosed. In such cases, during projects requiring compensatory measures, the part being lost may be replaced with a part of the habitat that remains outside the network. The said replacement principle may be applied in forests of the Gorski Kotar region. There are many forest areas in the region that have been included in the preliminary list of NATURA 2000 sites, belonging to hilly beech, submountain beech, beech-fir and continental coniferous forests. Sub-mountain beech forests with mountain buttercup at the Vilje locality on the Risnjak mountain massif are taken as an example of habitat compensation, where the converted part is replaced with part of the area remaining outside the network.

The systematic mapping of marine habitats continued within the framework of the SHAPE project, in aquatories of nine towns and municipalities, within the protected marine coastal zone. Altogether, 174 km of coastal line and a total surface of aquatories of 42,20 km2 of the Region have been mapped. Six rare and endangered NATURA 2000 habitat types were noted, as well as 24 habitat types according to the Croatian Habitat Classification (CHC). The analysed data about Istrian marine habitats will become the basis for the future sustainable management, as well as for use of the Region coastal zone (Physical Plan Region of Istria, Integral Coastal Zone Management Plan) and an integral part of the Republic Habitat Map and GIS Atlas of the Adriatic region. Use of accurate, up to date maps of marine habitats is also a prerequisite for quality environmental impact assessment of coastal and marine projects and prescribing adequate mitigation measures and monitoring programs of endangered species and habitats.

Kako se tim pojmom esto isti e svrha zahvata, stje e se dojam da je rije o zahvatima koji bi trebali imati pozitivne utjecaje na okoliš i prirodu. No, je li tome uistinu tako? Revitalizacija vodotoka shva a se vrlo razli ito s pozicije vrednovanja razli itih struka. Hidrološki, ti su zahvati povoljni u smislu održavanja vodotoka. Gra evinarski i hidrotehni ki pristup promatra revitalizaciju kao hidrotehni ki zahvat bez obzira na svrhu promjene hidrološkog stanja. Gospodarski (ujedno politi ki i sociološki) pristup u revitalizaciji prirodi prepuštenog vodnog tijela vidi promjenu u okolišu kojeg se može lakše iskoristiti u djelatnostima poput ribolova, sporta i rekreacije, turizma, iskorištavanja energije vode, navodnjavanja i drugo. Svako se vodno tijelo može koristiti u neku od gospodarskih svrha. No, može li održavanje svakog vodnog tijela biti revitalizacija? Odgovor na to daje ekološki pristup koji nadilazi sve tehni ke varijante i primjenjive svrhe takvih zahvata. Ekološki definirana revitalizacija vodnog tijela u sklopu procjene utjecaja zahvata na ekološku mrežu uklju uje održivi opstanak vodenog ekosustava sa svim stanišnim tipovima i svojtama.

Robert Špani 1, Vedran Šegota1, Stjepan Dekani 1, Zoran Pišl1 1 Institute for Research and Development of Sustainable Ecosystems, Jagodno 100a, Velika Gorica, Croatia (ires@ires.hr) Abstract Currently, the trends in water management in Croatia extend to the projects with the “revitalisation” term in its title. Since this term is usually used to explain the purpose of the water management, it is regularly uncritically interpreted as solely positive to environment and nature. It’s obvious that different professions interpret revitalisation in water management in many different ways. Hydrological approach defines it as beneficial in terms of watercourse maintenance. From hydro technical and constructional point of view revitalisation presents hydro technical measure regardless of hydrological status. Economical (including political and sociological) approach observe revitalisation of (semi)natural water bodies as an opportunity for development of fishing, sports, recreation, tourism, exploitation of water energy, irrigation systems etc. But, can be all maintenance of water bodies defined as revitalisation? The ecological approach could offer us the right answer – ecologically defined revitalisation of water bodies within Ecological Network Impact Assessment implies a sustainable conservation of water ecosystems, habitats and taxa. The crucial issue to be answered in this process is how to revitalise a water ecosystem in a sustainable way? If the revitalisation is planned within NATURA 2000 sites, the modality and extent of the revitalisation has to be defined using approach which defends the interest of nature conservation. Finally, the necessity for interdisciplinary approach in early stages of planning has to be stressed.

Analiza nedostatnosti podataka temeljena je na procjeni svih službeno dostupnih podataka o prostornoj rasprostranjenosti Natura 2000 vrsta i staništa organiziranih u 34 prostorne jedinice (mezoregije). U prvom koraku procjene nedostatnosti, provedeno je vrednovanje mezoregija (s ciljem odre ivanja prioritetnih podru ja za dodatna istraživanja bioraznolikosti) temeljem dva kriterija: 1) generalne razine znanja o bioraznolikosti i 2) potencijalne (tj. modelirane u funkciji okolišnih varijabli) rasprostranjenosti Natura 2000 staništa prema Karti staništa Republike Hrvatske (KSRH; M:100 000). Drugi korak procjene nedostatnosti obuhvatio je analizu potencijalne prostorne varijabilnosti staništa morskog bentosa (temeljem KSRH) i identifikaciju novih potencijalno važnih podru ja bioraznolikosti (VPB). Dvadeset i devet novih podru ja potencijalno važnih za bioraznolikost utvr eno je i ru no delineirano u ekspertnoj interpretaciji temeljenoj na maksimalnim vrijednostima 1) službeno dostupnih podataka o Natura 2000 zna ajkama i 2) stanišne raznolikosti (Shannon – Wiener indeksa) prema KSRH.

The data gap analysis was based on evaluation of all officially available data about spatial distribution of Natura 2000 species and habitats. The data were organized in 34 spatial units (mesoregions). In the first step of assessment, ranking of mesoregions (in order to select priorities for additional biodiversity research), was carried out on the two criteria: 1) general level of existing knowledge about biodiversity and 2) potential (i.e. modelled in a function of environmental variables) portion of Natura 2000 habitats, according to Habitat map of Republic of Croatia (HMRC; 1:100.000). The second step of gap assessment comprised estimation of potential benthic habitat spatial variability (based on HMRC) and identification of new potentially biodiversity important areas (BIA). Twenty-nine new potential biodiversity important areas were identified and manually delineated by expert interpretation, on the basis of maximum values of 1) officially available data about Natura 2000 features and 2) habitat diversity (Shannon – Wiener index) according to HMRC. Results can be used for the finalization of spatial distribution of NATURA 2000 sites along the Adriatic sea and planning a future research efforts.

In view of its forthcoming accession to the EU, Croatia incorporated the articles of these directives into its legislation that is evident in the first place by the establishment of the National Ecological Network and the implementation of the Appropriate Assessment (AA) procedure. Within the COAST project (Conservation and Sustainable Use of Biodiversity in the Dalmatian Coast through Greening Coastal Development) the Manual dealing with acceptability of the planned project, regardless of its size and location, which either alone or “in combination” with other projects can have negative impacts on ecological network, was prepared. The Manual shows AA procedure according to the existing Croatian legislation by individual phases, including: 1) Screening, 2) Main assessment with assessment of alternative solutions, 3) Establishment of overriding public interest and compensatory measures. During the project a preliminary valorization of biodiversity in Dalmatian area with respect to acceptability of the planned windfarms (WF) was carried out.

Public participation is also prescribed in decision-making process for certain environmentally significant activities and operations. It is in fact process of multidirectional communication of stakeholders in the decisionmaking process in which stakeholders exchange opinions, suggestions and comments related to reaching the decision about specific action in the environment. This paper discusses that process in practice. It stresses difficulties which stakeholders, specifically investors encounter as well as possible improvements. Accent is on the problems and misunderstandings which occur if communication is not time-relevant, truth, transparent, based on facts and if it is misused for individual gain. Paper considers communication as an important educational tool which enables exchange and enhancement of knowledge and experience of stakeholders as well as the problem of low level of public trust for this process. It also considers responsibilities of stakeholders and it defines problems which occur because of unclear guidance on boundaries of reach and relevance of an impact what transfers the responsibility for decision on the compromise and common sense. Finally, it raises the question of responsibility, especially of public sector, on defining and complying with time limitation and related expenses which occur when deadlines are not met.

Over the last years both of these areas have been frequently criticized as insufficiently effective and low-quality. Nevertheless, to date there is no comprehensive research of attitudes that would provide deeper insight into the opinions and attitudes of relevant stakeholders in the Environmental Impact Assessment procedure (the EIA) on certain key issues and thus create a basis for further improvement of the practice. The aim of this paper is to present the results of the research on the attitudes of relevant stakeholders of the EIA that was conducted by Hauska & Partner within the partnership cooperation with the Croatian Association of Experts for the Protection of Nature and Environment.

With it, Croatia has accepted the obligation for public participation in environmental impact assessment processes which was introduced in to the legislation framework through the Environmental Protection Act and pursuant special regulations. These define an appropriate way of informing the public that an EIA procedure was initiated, format of the public debate, the obligation of submitting EIA studies to public inspection and the obligation of the public discussion regarding the EIA. Despite the standardized procedure of public participation in environmental matters, in the field the differences in public participation have been noticed depending on the region of the Republic of Croatia and also on the character of the project. This paper tested this hypothesis by statistically analyzing publicly available data to determine differences in regional public involvement as well as which types of projects local communities find acceptable and which cause negative reactions of the public. Often, in the course of public debates and discussions public questions do not regard the environmental impact assessment but spatial planning or proprietary dilemmas, which was also taken into account in this paper.

Although the said Convention advocates early and efficient public participation, the issue of successful implementation of such principles remains open. Aim of this paper is to point out the problems arising from public participation in the process of Environmental Impact Assessment and of issuing environmental permits gained through experience on the project “Establishment of Centres for Implementation of IPPC at Regional Level in Croatia“. The project included organisation of a series of workshops on public participation. By simulating real public debates and by collecting data from stakeholders (competent authorities, industry, authorized consultant organizations and the public) the insight into the current role of public was gained. This paper summarizes the results gained through questionnaires filled in by workshop participants which indicate issues to be improved. Special attention is given to the issue of public interest in environmental questions, as well as additional education that would make it an equal partner in communication with the industry and competent authorities. The conclusion of the paper contains suggestions for improvement of the existing situation regarding public involvement, concurrently meaning enhancements of the process of aligning Croatian legal system with the acquis communautaire.

The acceptance of these projects is simplified in the public view and then judged by the environmental impact it creates. In the main aim of trying to avoid the dismissal on the basis of prejudice from the start of the project planning, one needs to work on first gradual introduction of all environmental aspects of the projects and then through education and cooperation with the public on all level create and sustain a positive atmosphere about the project in hand.

Odluke o prostoru, usmjerene ka održivom razvoju, ujedno zahtijevaju i aktivno uklju ivanje javnosti na svim razinama. Zato je, uz stru ne zahtjeve za razvojem i zaštitom prostora, potrebno uvažiti i implementirati i društvene. Upravo krajobrazno planiranje kao dio prostornog planiranja uvažava da komponenta društva i javnosti ima važnu ulogu u aktivnostima planiranja i upravljanja prostorom, pa tako i krajobrazom. Ujedno u proces donošenja odluka o razvoju implementira zaštitno okolišne kriterije. Time se smanjuje naknadna mogu nost konflikta razvoja i zaštite ali se i priprema zaštitno utemeljena podloga za stratešku procjenu utjecaja na okoliš. Cilj ovog rada je ukazati na važnost sudjelovanja javnosti u postupcima planiranja kroz pregled dosadašnjih istraživanja, te dati pregled participativnih postupaka koji mogu biti korišteni kao alati planiranja i tako doprinijeti održivom i društveno prihvatljivom donošenju odluka o prostoru.

Spatial decisions, aimed at sustainable development, also require active public involvement at all levels. Thus, it is important to include and implement the social requirements for development and protection, along with expert demands, in the decision making process. Precisely, landscape planning, as a part of spatial planning, accepts that the public and social component have an important role in spatial and landscape planning and management. Also, it includes environmental protection criteria in the decision making process. This reduces the subsequent possibility of development and conservational conflicts and prepares conservational based foundation for strategic impact assessment. The object of this paper is to point out the importance of public participation in planning process through overview of recent researches, and indicate the participatory methods that can be used as planning instrument in sustainable and socially acceptable spatial decision making. Accepting the social consensus on spatial development and conservation with simultaneous increasing of stakeholders’ knowledge and information about problems and problem solving methods can reach a better decision acceptance and also better suitability of a decision for all stakeholders. Additionally, the paper indicates the need for implementing landscape planning into spatial planning processes, as well as development and conservation decision making.

The Kaštela Bay with about 260 000 inhabitants, is over burdened by a variety of toxic substances as a result of strong industry that was once developed. Today, in this area, only cement and steel companies, as big polluters of the environment, are left. This is contributed by the fact that cement plant switched to environmentally unacceptable solid fuels such as petroleum coke and hazardous waste a decade ago. They are currently seeking permission to use RDF. The public and local government oppose these efforts. This paper presents the activities of the Commission for the environmental monitoring of the City Council of the City of Kastela and the interested public. Activities focused to environmental protection have been interrupted by violating the Aarhus Convention. It can be assumed with high probability that the competent authorities and institutions of the Republic of Croatia have violated the constitutional rights of citizens to a healthy and clean environment, the right of citizens to access to information and participation in decision-making on environmental issues, and series of laws, regulations, protocols, spatial plans, conventions and EU directives.

Rising environmental protection awareness significantly increased the number of parties involved in the decision-making process, while provisions of the Aarhus Convention considerably raised the possibilities of inclusion of broader public into the environmental protection informing and decision making process. Various non-government organizations and other civil society instances ("concerned public", as defined by the Convention) as well as individuals active in the environmental protection field make continuous efforts to enhance their influence in the decision making process, greatly aided by the media, and appreciably influence the creation of general public's opinion which is often based on superficial, incomplete or misinterpreted facts. The article shortly analyses three practical cases of environmental impact assessment and describes general trends in the environmental protection field, presenting the current state regarding the conflict management, policy and decision-making process.

One of the fundamental rights in democratic societies is the right of the public to be informed, to comment on, and to participate in making decisions about issues which directly influence the quality of their lives. Public participation is any process by which citizens influence public decisions concerning their and their fellow townspeople's lives. The paper gives a survey of public participation in environmental impact assessment procedures in the period between 2001 and 2012, a survey of problems connected with public participation in environmental impact assessment procedures based on observation upon conducting the procedures in the county, managing the procedure in order to enable an adequate process of public participation, and meeting the standards recommended by international organisations. Public participation in environmental impact assessment procedure is extremely important. The local community is familiar with the scope of the intervention which is the subject of assessment, and can provide important information often unfamiliar to authorities responsible for conducting environmental impact assessment procedure.

Although the legislator has provided procedures for public participation, the real challenge remains in their implementation in practice. Very often, the participation is only formal, without influence on decision-making. The main reason is because the public is involved in late phase when the key decisions are already made. In addition, the public is often not educated enough to take part in competent manner within those processes. Participation mainly comprises of a priori contrary attitude towards projects under environmental impact assessment procedure, without constructive proposals for project adjustments to environmental conditions nor mitigation or compensation measures. In this paper is presented public participation in the environmental impact assessment procedures in the city of Rijeka and strategic environmental assessment in Primorsko-goranska county with regards to qualitative and quantitative public contribution and extent of participants. At the end are given some recommendations for improvements of public participation in the future in processes mentioned before (better public information and education, in time public information, document preparation in manner understandable to public etc.). For better public participation in the processess of EIA and SEA, the cooperation and effort of both sides, public and bodies and institutions that carry out those processess is needeed.

Nature Park Medvednica is a mountainous protected area adjacent to Zagreb, the capital city of Croatia. Its spatial planning process was taken as an example case. The phenomenology of this case is within its spanning onto thirty years long three decision making attempts while this Nature Park struggles to hold back the pressure of urbanization. Because of the inexistence of spatial plan, which is required with the Croatian laws, its area was significantly decreased in 2009 and its territory was accordingly environmentally distressed. The study was conducted in the framework of stakeholder analysis, for which a series of indepth interviews with – identified stakeholders were performed, as well as documents concerning the spatial planning and participation process were analyzed. The data gathered explains which are the disadvantages of the three processes of the spatial plan formulation and in which way they were involving public within those decision making processes. Description of the past and current spatial planning situation of the NP Medvednica was given as well as issues and stakeholders involved concerning the creation of the spatial plan where identified. The key conflict areas that affect the formulation of spatial plan were methodologically detected and examined. The level of involvement of stakeholders in the context of fulfillment of their own interests was assessed as well as the influence on participation processes of different stakeholder groups concerning the formulation of this spatial plan. In order to have proper citizens and stakeholders involvement exercised some changes in the ordinance on informing and public involvement within environmental issues should be made accordingly.

It is based on the Birds Directive and on the Habitats Directive, which the member states of the EU have to transpose into their legislation. This research follows such policy formulation process; the expert working group on Natura 2000 on forestry in Croatia. The task of the working group was to participate in the forestry-related part of the expert proposal of Natura 2000, under the leadership of State institute on nature protection. The expert group is composed of many stake holding organizations which have diverging opinions and information both on Natura 2000 and forestry. The research aims at explaining on how stakeholders influence this policy formulation. Data is gathered through interviews, non-participant observation, questionnaires and from secondary sources. Social network analysis is performed on quantitative data, where the interpersonal communication is founded in Friedkin`s models of interpersonal influence, and organizational data is theoretically bound in the Resource dependence perspective. Results show that the communication channels follow the patterns of interpersonal influence, which also are to a certain extent mirrored in the network of organizations whose members are in the working group. Findings support the assumption of the working group as a venue of a classical policy formulation process, in which scientific and political discourse have played an equal role. This kind of broad inclusion of stakeholders brought rise to a high level of procedural justice not usually found in the transposition of Natura 2000 among the Eastern EU members, and as such will probably contribute to diminishing of post-accession conflicts related to the implementation of the Network.

Significant part of the environmental acquis introduced new regulations in the waste management sector that require strengthening of communal infrastructure. Croatia starts to build several County Waste Management Centers on the Adriatic coast by using pre-accession ISPA/IPA funds. New EU Member States have significantly enhanced their waste management sector by using pre-accession and Structural funds, thus contributing to the European sustainable development goals. The paper discusses several aspects related to the preparation, evaluation and implementation of the infrastructural waste management projects, suitable for EU co-financing. Although Croatia has recently achieved progress in the waste management sector through improvements of its legal and strategic framework, combined with establishment of integral waste management system in several Counties, an analysis of ISPA/IPA results indicates that Croatia is still facing similar challenges as new EU Member States. By receiving full membership status, Croatian public waste management companies will have opportunity to use more EU grants for projects co-financed within European Regional Development Fund. As such, this paper provides strategic recommendations how to increase absorption capacities of EU funds in the 2014-2020 period.

U Republici Hrvatskoj se dugi niz godina otpadom gospodarilo na krajnje neprimjeren i neu inkovit na in.

Premda centri za gospodarenje otpadom ine vrlo važan segment integriranog sustava gospodarenja otpadom, ne smije se zapostaviti injenica da je centar samo jedan dio tog sustava. Zbog toga je u analiti kom i provedbenom pogledu potrebno sagledavati cjelovitost sustava.

In most circumstances waste generates energy and financial losses. For a number of years in the Republic of Croatia waste had been managed in an extremely inappropriate and ineffective way. Since the Republic of Croatia cannot self-finance the total planned investments, she was given the opportunity to submit projects co-financed from earmarked European Union funds. The construction of an integrated waste management system founded on sustainable development provides adequate waste management from the moment of its creation all the way to the final recycling at the waste management centre. Although waste management centres are a very significant segment of integrated waste management system, one should not neglect the fact that the centre is only one part of this system. Therefore, in terms of analytical and organizational aspect the integrity of the system needs to be considered. This refers especially to the production of the required documentation which explains the investment intentions, with one of the key documents being the Feasibility Study.

In addition to domestic regulations the “Koridori Srbije” (Corridors of Serbia) as the main contracting authority for these projects are obliged to observe the environmental protection operational policies of the financing banks. World Bank classifies the motorway projects in Corridor X to the group of projects for which environmental impact assessments are obligatory. The environmental protection shall be ensured in the course of project preparation and implementation by the application of the operational policy WB OP/BP 4.01. European Bank for Reconstruction and Development requests that the projects financed by them are sustainable with respect to environment and social requirements. The EBRD Environmental and Social Policy, 2010 shall apply to the implementation of the projects financed by this Bank. . European Investment Bank applies the EIB Statement on Environmental and Social Principles and Standards, 2009, and the Environmental and Social Practices Handbook to the projects. The Banks also stipulate grievance mechanism by which the population may have direct influence upon the suspension or modification of activities that endanger health and safety of the local population. Each motorway section shall be provided with an Environmental Management Plan-EMP, and public participation shall be mandatory.

It is specifically about preparation of action plans for improving the existing plants and facilities, preparation of which is regulated by existing legislation and secondary legislation. The current situation in the preparation of this kind of documentation is explained with concrete examples. A concrete way to improve the current situation or a complete change of existing practice is proposed and worked out in detail. So far the investor (owner of the facility) bore all the costs of financing the preparation of this type of documentation. The essence of this proposal is to remove the burden of financing from the investor and transfer it to administrative authorities (ministries) using existing sources of assistance from various international and national environmental funds, but also with the new organization of the ministries responsible for the environment.

Iako su troškovi zašti enih podru ja relativno mali, za državu oni predstavljaju zna ajan iznos, naro ito u zemljama u razvoju, kao što je BiH. Stoga, javila se potreba razvoja održivog i samostalnog finansiranja zašti enih podru ja, definisanjem odgovaraju ih finansijskih mehanizama. Planom upravljanja zašti enim podru jima u BiH definišu se, izme u ostalog, tokovi novca i upravljanje njima u zašti enim podru jima. Posebna pažnja se posve uje na inu osiguranja priliva novca, kao i planiranju troškova, u skladu sa o uvanjem prirodnih vrijednosti samog zašti enog podru ja. Cilj rada je definisati i detaljno analizirati trenutne i potencijalne izvore finansiranja zašti enih podru ja. Jasno definisanim finansijskom strategijom zašti enog podru ja, osigurati e se uspješno upravljanje zašti enim podru jem, poboljšanje usluga koje se pružaju u zašti enom podru ju i naravno ostvarivanje dodatnih prihoda. S druge strane, dodatni benefiti od uvo enja održivih finansijskim mehanizama su: finansijska samostalnost, optimalno korištenje i održavanje prirodnih resursa, razvoj dodatnih usluga, aktivnosti i unapre enje stepena zadovoljstva posjetilaca.

Although expenses of protected areas are very low for the state they represent a significant amount, especially in developing countries as B&H is. Therefore, it develops need for sustainable and self-financing protected areas, by defining appropriate financing mechanisms. Management plan of protected areas in B&H defines, among others, cash flows and their management at protected areas. Special attention is focused to methods of cash incomes, as well as costs planning, in accordance with the preservation of the natural values of protected area. Goal of this article is definition and detail analysis of current and potential financing sources of protected area. Clearly defined financing strategy of protected area will ensure the successful management of protected area, improvement of protected areas services and accomplish additional incomes. Additional benefits from introduction sustainable financing mechanisms are: financial independence, optimal use and observance of natural resources, development of additional services, activities and improvement of satisfaction of visitors.
