Project 3: Waste-water treatment plant for AbarÆn This project involves building a waste-water treatment plant for the municipality of AbarÆn, which straddles the River Segura. It includes the construction of a general sewer system to collect waste water and convey it to the treatment plant. C 244/8 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 27. 8. 1999 The planned sewer system consists of a general collector on the left bank of the river to collect waste water from the sewers on this bank, where the main part of the town is located. Another collector will carry waste water from the sewer system on the right bank across the river to the left-bank by means of pumps and syphons collector. The left-bank collector, a gravity sewer, will end in a chamber placed outside the urban area. A main pumping station will pump the waste water from this chamber through a pressure line to the treatment plant. The pumping station will be equipped with a spillway to the river in case the pumping system should fail and to discharge suitably diluted excess flows. Treated water will be discharged into the River Segura through an outfall which is also included in this project. activated The plant will provide secondary biological treatment using simultaneous nitrification/denitrification. The treated water can be re-used either directly (in the indirectly (downstream). area) or sludge with station will pump the waste water through a pressure line to the head of a second left-bank collector carrying waste water from a community close to the town, at the end of which the main pump station will lift all the waste water to the treatment plant. Treated water will be discharged into the River Segura through an outfall which is also included in this project. The draft project as described above includes: three pumping stations, collectors with diameters between 500 and 800 mm over 1,2 km and pressure mains with diameters between 315 and 350 mm over 2,5 km. activated The plant will provide secondary biological treatment using simultaneous nitrification/denitrification.

Region: Galicia 5. Description This project is actually a group of projects involving the measures needed to complete the waste-water disposal system of a large area of the municipality of Vigo. The treatment of waste water by the treatment plant will be improved by the separation of rainwater and sewage, which will prevent overloading and rationalise the operation of the treatment facilities. Project 1: Recovery of water used to wash the filters of the drinking-water treatment plant The water used to wash the sand filters at the Casal drinking-water treatment plant are currently discharged without any treatment directly into the waste-water disposal network. The optimal solution proposed is to construct a drying the necessary unit filter presses comprising and equipment for the storage and batching of reagents, to be situated in a separate building at the drinking-water treatment plant. The proposed operation will prevent the pollution load from reaching the waste-water the hydraulic operation of the collector sewers and enable the washing water to be recovered by returning it to the head of to be mixed with raw water for subsequent treatment. treatment plant, the plant, Project 2: Rainwater by-pass at the Plaza de AmØrica The Plaza AmØrica is a critical location within the town of Vigo, where a number of roads converge. An underpass with inadequate storm drains causes rainwater to flow into the general sewage system. Once the overload point is reached, serious floods require the Plaza to be closed to traffic, causing inconvenience to inhabitants. It is proposed to lay an 800-mm diameter collector sewer over 950 m specifically for rainwater, which can then be discharged directly into the harbour basin in the vicinity of Bouzas. Project 3: Individual measures to improve the Vigo waste-water disposal system infrastructure in urban Vigo The waste-water disposal suffers from a number of serious shortfalls due to its age; heavy traffic density is causing ruptures, leaks, pollution of the subsoil, etc. The proposed measures involve replacing sections of collectors in bad condition in certain parts of the town. It is proposed to install 14 500 m of 400-mm diameter collectors, 2 500 m of 500-mm diameter collectors and 1 500 m of 800-mm diameter collectors in various streets in the old part of town, where the sewage system is in the poorest condition. Project 4: Waste-water disposal for the Coia estate and the Balaidos-La Florida area The area affected by the measure contains many homes and is among the fastest growing parts of the city. It therefore adequate needs waste-water disposal facilities. equipped with be to C 244/16 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 27. 8. 1999 It is planned to install a system of collector sewers made up of 4 900 m of collectors of less than 600 mm in diameter, 2 000 m of between 600 and 900 mm in diameter of of 1 200/1 800 mm. collectors 3 225 ovoid and capacity of the hydraulic allow rainwater to be discharged directly into the river. the This will preserve river-bank collectors so that they can adequately convey waste water to the Lagares treatment plant. This will prevent from being overloaded, drastically cutting maintenance costs and restoring to the river its natural function of receiving rain water and providing leisure opportunities for the population. the plant Project 5: Restoration of natural waterways and separation of rainwater A large proportion of the population of the municipality of Vigo is housed in single-family dwellings in a rural setting. There has been a drastic reduction in the flow of the various streams which run into the River Lagares because rainwater running off from roofs and gardens now flows into the sewer system. 6. Objectives The main objective of this group of projects is to improve the waste-water disposal system of the town of Vigo and to restore a number of natural waterways which are currently in poor condition. The The size of Vigo’s fringe belt means that its natural waterways are of great environmental and landscape value. the proposed measure will watercourses to their natural state by installing spillways for rainwater, thereby regulating the flow in the sewer system and preventing overloading of the pumping and sewers will also be Interceptor treatment installed according to the flows and distribution of the population in the catchment areas.

Next Mechanical preparation of SMW will comprise initial sorting on a conveyor belt, with several manual sorting posts where bulky objects and unbroken glass vessels will be the waste will be mechanically sorted in cylindrical mesh drums with mesh sizes designed for the different types of waste and a bag-opening device. Waste too large to pass through the mesh (around 50 % by weight) mostly consists of inert waste (plastic, paper, cardboard, glass, metal, etc. ). This fraction will be taken by conveyor belt for further manual sorting into the different types of inert waste, after which it will be stored and compacted into bales or, in the case of glass, taken to a storehouse. The fragment of the waste that passes through the mesh the mechanical sorting drum will be composted. of Bucket loaders will be used to convey the waste to trapezoidal columns for aerobic fermentation. The organic waste will be turned regularly and/or injected with air to ensure the presence of oxygen. Fermentation will take place in an open enclosure (a slow process taking six to ten weeks) as this process requires a smaller initial investment, the weather in the area is suitable and this process produces less leachates and disagreeable odours. Each collection centre will comprise a loading and unloading platform large enough to ensure access by The compost yield, calculated for an organic fraction of 48 %, will be 17 % of all the SMW entering the treatment C 244/30 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 27. 8. 1999 plants.

It branches at the point where it is crossed by the CN-340 highway. A design flow of 4 000 m3 has been chosen. The course will approximately follow that of the existing bed, with the branch being channelled along the original river bed. The banks will be built up into ridges to mark the topped by service roads, boundary of the flood plain. The valley’s drainage all along the section in question will have to be studied, as will the improvement or renovation of certain intrusive fixtures. The proposed solution closely follows the route in the model at the river’s mouth and along the single section. The branching section is re-routed slightly to run around a Phoenician archaeological site. The purpose of this project is to ensure that the final section of the River Guadalhorce, from its junction with the River Campanillas to the sea, has the capacity to absorb peak flows of 4 000 m3/sec. without flooding. The original route of the river will be maintained as closely as possible, minimising the environmental impact in a semi-urban area and improving the area between the two branches, which has been designated a (cid:145)Paraje natural(cid:146). 7.

The project involves the following: 5. 1. 1. Conduit to take rainwater from the Rayo, Palais and Cerdeæo streams (a) Canalisation of the Rayo, Palais and Cerdeæo streams Laying a total of 49 m of enclosed reinforced- concrete conduit. Laying 761 m of enclosed reinforced concrete conduit. This will pass beneath the existing collector sewer. C e r d e æ o - R (cid:237) o N o r a s e c t i o n Laying 1 445 m of reinforced concrete conduit. Between the end of the previous section and the beginning of this section, it is planned to lay a 13,8 m long variable section conduit to permit the incorporation of the Cerdeæo stream. 5. 1. 2. Waste-water collectors This will involve laying a collector to take waste water from the City of Oviedo’s main collectors, replacing the existing collector which is too small and in very poor condition. Along the head of the collector, running through the Ventanielles district, a section of the old collector will be repaired and kept in service, and this, together with the new collector, will provide the required capacity. The reasons for keeping the old collector are, firstly, to avoid having to dig up the district’s main street, under which the collector runs, and, secondly, because of the large number of other collectors joining it at this point. The new collector will run through the least busy areas of the district, mainly under open ground and pedestrian areas. Downstream from the Ventanielles the collectors will join, from which point all waste water will flow through the new collector. district C 244/70 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 27. 8. 1999 (a) North-south connection to the southern spillway: Construction of a 2 714 m long collector in three sections with varying gradients. to separate the run-off from the rural area and channel it directly to the River Nora, thereby greatly reducing spills into the river during rain.

The interceptor will be 3 568 m long and run parallel to the River San Claudio. Work to improve the banks of the River San Claudio will be carried out over two sections of 73 m and 117 m, creating room for the interceptor. A 160 mm diameter PVC conduit will be laid along the interceptor for the remote control and remote monitoring equipment. In addition, seven collectors will be laid to carry waste water to the interceptor from Olivares, Vertedero, Las Mazas, Villamar, San Claudio, Oterielo and Sed(cid:237)n. Their total length will be 2 459 m and their diameters will vary between 800 mm and 300 mm. To connect the collectors to the general interceptor, three storm basins will be constructed. The largest, with a capacity of 660 m3, will be at the beginning of the interceptor and will permit the connection of an urban district of Oviedo. The other two will be smaller, with retention capacities of 60 m3 and 112 m3. All three will have sufficient capacity to retain, without spill, the flow of rainwater provided for in the design criteria. 6.

Integrated environmental regeneration of upper part of the Nervi(cid:243)n estuary the The banks of the Nervi(cid:243)n are practically unprotected along their whole length. The project aims to reclaim the banks of the estuary between the Puente del Ayuntamiento and the La Peæa meander (approximate overall length of 2 750 m). The proposed work comprises both general measures to be carried out over the whole section and specific measures. The general measures involve cleaning the banks, which have been seriously damaged throughout their length by tidal action. It is also planned to dredge the river bed to remove around 35 000 m3 of excess sediment. Certain particularly damaged sections will receive special treatment in order to reclaim open spaces which are subject to substantial social demand. Finally, on the section through the residential district of La Peæa, the left bank has been restored and is now a public park, while the right bank is waste land. The work will be limited to the lower slopes of the banks and will involve fixing a three-dimensional galvanised- steel lattice, which will then be filled with a mixture of topsoil and gravel and sown. 5. Description 2. The La Peæa-La Merced waste-water collector/ interceptor The project covers the whole river system of the estuary formed by the Nervi(cid:243)n itself and its four tributaries, two on the left bank, the Kadagua and the Galindo, and two on the right bank, the Udondo-Gobela and the Asœa. Given the project’s aim of integrated regeneration, it will be advisable to carry out the work in phases so as to be able to monitor improvements over time. This is also made necessary by the length of the river system (about 30 km) which will mean that eight years will be required to complete the work. The first phase involves the upper part of the Nervi(cid:243)n tributaries. The second phase, estuary and its involving the remainder of the estuary, will complete the integrated regeneration project. four The work planned during this first phase is as follows: This collector will carry waste water from the La Merced, Bilbao La Vieja and La Peæa districts, now discharged straight into the Nervi(cid:243)n estuary, into the general sewer system. Water from the collector will be carried to the Arenal-Atxuri collector, currently under construction, and then to the Galindo waste-water treatment plant. The collector will have an overall length of 1 798 m and will be made up of six sections laid in a reinforced trench. It will collect waste water from a population which currently stands at 17 187. It is also planned to connect eight existing municipal collectors to the new collector. These can be connected directly, since they are on separate networks. C 244/80 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 27. 8. 1999 Individual measures: (cid:151) drilling under the river bed to the Puente de la Merced pumping station (cid:151) spillways (2) (cid:151) pumping stations (3). (cid:151) finally, it is planned to lay out a 1,50 m wide footpath bordered with plants from the Zorroza district to the Casas Blancas and Santa Agueda districts (Alonsotegui). This will require the construction of a wooden walkway over the River Katagua. (Bilbao) 4. Integrated environmental regeneration of River Galindo the A total of 31 reinforced-concrete inspection chambers will be built along the collector and the connecting sewers. The Galindo is in a very poor condition and this is reflected in the appearance of its banks and the quality of its water. Finally, it is planned to install a communications system for the remote and local operation and monitoring of the spillways and pumping units, including electrical installations, measuring and monitoring devices, software and communication cables to connect the equipment (spillways and pumps) to the operations centre at the Galindo waste-water treatment plant. 3. Integrated environmental regeneration of River Kadagua the The Kadagua flows through the Provinces of Burgos and Vizcaya. The planned measures are dependent on the land available and are basically as follows: (cid:151) demolition of a wall and replanting the area released (approximately two metres wide) with a metre-wide line of riparian shrubs and, behind on the top of the bank, a metre-wide line of riparian trees. The measure will be carried out over approximately 1 000 m, (cid:151) consolidation of slopes not affected by salinity using light techniques and treatment of slopes affected by limestone riprap. After saline erosion with natural consolidation, the slopes will be replanted, (cid:151) a 450 m section of bank occupied almost entirely by industrial premises will be consolidated using natural riprap and a strip of vegetation, (cid:151) along its final section, the banks of the Kadagua are two different revetted with concrete and have sections. It is proposed to build flower stands in the form of a low, filled with topsoil and sown with shrubs and climbing plants. This measure will be carried out over 800 m along both banks, treated-concrete wall The following measures are planned: (cid:151) from the mouth 850 m upstream, the banks will be to halt ongoing erosion consolidated in order following the removal of damage and to permit, sediment from the bed, the creation of areas where vegetation can be allowed to grow, (cid:151) on the next 800 m, the right bank will be consolidated with natural limestone riprap of a suitable size to permit the formation of ecological niches which, filling wiht natural sediments, will permit the establishment of flora adapted to the ebbs the tides. The left bank along this and flows of stretch is already adequately protected. The upper part of both banks will be replanted with large trees in order to improve and embellish the footpaths, thus creating a variety of walks for the inhabitants of Sestao and of Barakaldo, (cid:151) on the remaining section, i. e. approximately 2 km upstream, the planned measures aim to regenerate and protect the banks using suitable procedures, where possible using light techniques supplemented with civil engineering measures. The walks along the upper part of the banks will be cleaned up, improved and landscaped with plants and large, indigenous trees. It is also planned to construct two wooden walkways to extend the walk and make it more attractive, (cid:151) upstream from the outlet of the waste-water treatment plant on the Galindolowland, it is planned to install a pneumatic dam in order to maintain the water level at low tide. 5. Integrated environmental regeneration of River Udondo-Gobela the The mouth of the Udondo-Gobela has suffered serious environmental is and damage necessary. The river bed is heavily silted. immediate action 27. 8. 1999 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 244/81 The following measures are planned: (cid:151) along the Gobela the profile of the slopes will be improved so as to facilitate the flow of the river and the natural riverbanks will be restored, it is planned to remove Along the whole length, sediment, clear the banks, scarify the slopes and protect the them with natural limestone riprap. A line of trees will be planted along the whole section. their the excavation work on the banks will permit subsequent stabilisation with limestone riprap of a suitable size to form ecological niches, permitting the establishment of suitable vegetation, On the final section of the left bank upstream, a masonry wall will be repaired and, where possible, work will be carried out to restore the esplanade along the water’s edge. In view of the low fresh water flow in the river, especially during the driest period of the year, it is planned to install a small pneumatic dam in order to maintain a minimum water level at low tide for aesthetic reasons, (cid:151) along the Udondo Sediment will be removed from the whole length of the river, the banks will be cleared and the slopes scarified and protected over the lower two metres with open riprap of natural limestone. Along the first 240 m upstream from the mouth, it is planned to replant the existing small esplanade on the left bank and to plant large trees. The right bank will be replanted with riparian shrubs. On the remainder of the section, a service bridge now out of use will be demolished and a number of rainwater pipelines, currently lying along the river bed, will be replaced by others laid elsewhere. On the left bank, a gravel pathway will be laid out, and bushes planted between it and the river. 6. Integrated environmental regeneration of River Asœa the The bed of the final section of the Asœa has clearly been damaged by dredging, the laying of pipes, the removal the banks for industrial of meanders and the use of the Rivers Asœa and purposes. The confluence of Nervi(cid:243)n is the site of numerous industrial plants. The following work is to be carried out: after decontamination of the bed and regeneration of the banks, the upper part of the banks will be replanted with indigenous plants and tree-bordered walks laid out. 7. Study for the regeneration of the principal bed of the estuary This study will be carried out during the first phase so that the results can be used to plan work on the second phase. from numerous In the principal part of the estuary, there has been an accumulation of urban and industrial discharges from a conurbation of almost 700 000 inhabitants. Sediment on the bed is therefore possibly highly contaminated by a wide range of materials, forms of organic compound to inorganic contaminants such as mercury, cadmium, zinc, iron, chromium and other heavy metals. Any decontamination measures carried out on the principal bed in the estuary must be based on an exhaustive knowledge of the sediments to be removed in order to decide whether they can be neutralised before final disposal or whether they need to be sealed in containers to ensure full control and prevent the spread of pollution through dilution or leaching. 6. Objectives The project will involve the environmental restoration of the banks and beds of the whole river system of the Nervi(cid:243)n estuary. Where possible, collectors/interceptors will be laid to carry waste water to the Galindo waste- water treatment plant so as to eliminate direct discharges into the rivers. The general objectives of the planned measures can be summarised as follows: clearance of the banks to facilitate access, removal of sediment in order to clean and decontaminate the bed. Toxic sediment will be sealed in storage cells, (cid:151) stabilising the riverbanks (cid:151) reducing the flood risk C 244/82 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 27. 8. 1999 (cid:151) considerably improving the scenic value of the riverside areas (cid:151) creating shady areas and improving the regulation of humidity and temperature (cid:151) strengthening the social value of the rivers by widening the possibilities for their use for recreation, leisure and sport (cid:151) establishing and regenerating the indigenous flora and fauna.

Advantages were following: evaluated taking account of the (cid:151) a financial estimate of the environmental benefit of improved water quality, using shadow prices and assessing the difference in the pollution load of discharges, measured in pollution units, before and after treatment at the plant, (cid:151) re-use of treated water, (cid:151) for the measures to regenerate the river banks, the quantifiable advantages taken into account were as follows: (cid:151) the environmental benefits resulting from the partial decontamination of mud on the banks and beds of the rivers, based on an estimate of the percentage of mud to be treated and an average price for the construction of the cells, (cid:151) the recreational benefit obtained, by estimating the use made of the newly created walks. The internal rate of return for the group of projects is 32,6 %. 9. Environmental impact analysis 1. The project for the environmental regeneration of the bed and the tributaries of the Nervi(cid:243)n estuary in Bilbao will restore the banks, decontaminate the river bed and improve and rationalise water management and use, laying the basis for long-term, reduce sustainable development. The project will flooding and, consequently, erosion and damage to buildings and infrastructures. The impact of the project will be mainly corrective, since it aims to regenerate damaged areas. However, it will also have a preventive effect in so far as it will prevent or reduce inappropriate use of the estuary as well as floods and damage to buildings and infrastructures. 2. The sediment taken from the Nervi(cid:243)n and its tributaries must be analysed by the environmental authorities to determine the level of pollution and how it should best be treated. This information will be provided as quickly as possible in order to permit the project to proceed. 10.

The waste will be treated as follows: Sorting and recovery area (cid:151) Reception in bunkers (cid:151) Removal of residual waste to the tip. Composting area (tunnels) to controlled Here the organic waste will be subject fermentation. The tunnel filling area consists of a 20 m wide bay, with an automatic conveyer belt to collect the composted waste. The organic waste will take two weeks to compost. 262 tonnes/day of organic waste are expected, with a volume of 473 m3/day. 21 tunnels will be installed, each 30 m long, 4 m wide and 2,25 m high. Each filled tunnel will be sealed to create an artificial atmosphere in which fermentation can take place. Digestion area After 14 days, the organic waste will have undergone the main fermentation process. A distribution belt will place the compost on covered digestion beds for up to six weeks to improve the compost quality. Chemical transformation will lead to the loss of up to 35 % by weigh of organic waste. Some 169 tonnes/day of compost will be laid out for digestion.

Description The projects relating to the treatment of the organic fraction of solid municipal waste are as follows: Construction of a composting plant with a composting capacity of 30 000 tonnes/year. The plant is designed to operate as follows: (cid:151) R e c e p t i o n : (cid:151) reception of selectively-collected organic waste (cid:151) visual inspection (cid:151) weighing (cid:151) unloading (cid:151) storage (less than 24 hours). Construction of two plants for the methanation pre-treatment and reutilisation of by-products, each with a capacity of 110 000 tonnes/year of solid municipal waste (SMW), with an intake of 75 000 tonnes/year of organic waste into the reactor. The methanation plants will operate as follows: (cid:151) P r e - t r e a t m e n t : there is an initial selection phase where plastics, metals and bulky waste are separated out. The waste is then reduced and homogenised and water and inoculant are added to the mixture. (cid:151) A n a e r o b i c d i g e s t i o n (cid:151) P o s t - t r e a t m e n t : the residue digested is mechanically dried, producing a solid fraction and a liquid fraction. Part of the liquid fraction can be used in the pre-treatment phase and the rest can either be used in agriculture or treated by a waste-water treatment plant. The solid fraction is left to digest (two to four weeks) and becomes compost, the quality of which will largely depend on the quality of the digested residue. 6. Objectives The main aim of this set of projects is the biological treatment of organic waste. The individual projects contribute to that goal in the following way: 27. 8. 1999 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 244/105 (cid:151) T h e recycles c o m p o s t i n g p l a n t : selectively- collected organic waste through aerobic digestion in a controlled process in sealed tunnels, with a biological filter to remove odours from the gas.

Line 4 currently terminates at Esperanza station and work is now underway to extend it to the new Mar de Cristal station. From there, a link will be built to the airport. The project will be carried out in two phases: (1) Mar de Cristal(cid:150)Recintos Feriales (2) Recintos Feriales(cid:150)Airport The line will have two separate tunnels running from the Mar de Cristal station to the Recintos Feriales station, with a dead-end track at each of the two stations and a service tunnel between the new line tunnel and the Line 4 tunnel. The project will involve: (cid:151) two parallel tunnels, 2 km long, bored using a tunnelling machine; (cid:151) two underground stations, one at each end of the new line (Mar de Cristal and Recintos Feriales); (cid:151) two dead-end tracks, one in each station (500 m of tunnelling); (cid:151) one link between the new section and Line 4 (400 m of tunnelling); (cid:151) two km of twin track with electrification system (catenary system); (cid:151) signalling and control systems; (cid:151) ventilation systems; (cid:151) lighting systems; (cid:151) passenger access facilities (escalators and lifts); (cid:151) finishing work on halls and platforms. The second phase will involve the construction of a section of metro to connect the Recintos Feriales station with the existing terminals at Barajas Airport and with the town of Barajas. This new section of metro will give the City of Madrid and its metropolitan area a rail link to the airport. The project will involve: (cid:151) boring a 4,3 km long tunnel using a tunnelling machine to take two tracks; (cid:151) two underground stations, the main one of which will be at the airport, near Av. De Logroæo, close to the existing domestic terminal, and will have a direct and rapid connection with the airport passenger transit facilities; No application has been made to the Cohesion Fund for the work currently being carried out on Line 4 (Esperanza(cid:150)Mar de Cristal). (cid:151) a dead-end track at the end station of approximately 300 m; The first phase will involve the construction of a new line between the existing Line 4 and Recintos Feriales.

D e s c r i p t i o n o f t h e r o u t e (second phase) The new line will start from the dead-end track being constructed underneath Avenida del Parten(cid:243)n and Juan Carlos I Park and will run north-west under the latter, crossing under the A-10 trunk road, to enter the town of Barajas through the districts of Juan de la Cierva and Nra. Sra. de Loreto. The airport station will be built at ground level in front of the domestic terminal and will have two hallways, one giving rapid access to the existing terminal building and the other connecting with the new terminal to the north of this, which is now almost finished. 6. Objectives The main aim is to improve the transport link between for an estimated 3 million Madrid and its airport passengers, around 3,4 million visitors and to the Parque de las Naciones for 1,1 million visitors. the Recintos Feriales for to A cost/benefit analysis has been carried out for the two sections (Mar de Cristal(cid:150)Recintos Feriales and Recintos Feriales-Barajas). Account has been taken of reductions in travelling times and the environmental benefit of reduced atmospheric pollution. The as follows: results are (cid:151) Internal rate of return: 6,47 % (cid:151) Net present value: ECU 40 million (cid:151) Cost/benefit ratio: 1,16. The analysis is based on the following assumptions: (cid:151) Life of project: (cid:151) Discount rate: (cid:151) Increase in demand: 30 years 5 % 3 % cumulative annual growth. The sensitivity analyses carried do not substantially alter the results. A series of environmental effects were not taken into account in the cost/benefit analysis since they are too difficult to evaluate. Environmental benefits will come from the transfer of passengers from car to metro and indirect benefits from improve traffic a reduction in road traffic which will flows and lower fuel consumption. Potential passengers per year: (cid:151) to Recintos Feriales (IFEMA): (cid:151) to Parque de las Naciones: (cid:151) to Barajas Airport: 3 400 000 1 100 000 3 000 000. 7.

Environmental impact analysis The project is covered by Annex II to Directive 85/337/ EEC. The competent authorities have declared that the project is not being carried out in an environmentally sensitive area and will have no negative effects. The Consejer(cid:237)a de Medio Ambiente y Desarollo Regional de la Comunidad de Madrid (City of Madrid Ministry of the Environment and Regional Development) has drawn up a report showing the preventive and corrective measures necessary to prevent or reduce any negative effects from the project. These effects will be produced mainly during the construction work. On balance, the long-term effects of the project will be overwhelmingly positive, leading to a transfer of passengers from private vehicles to the new public transport infrastructure. 27. 8. 1999 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 244/109 10.

This accompanied by improved conditions in the region of Kremada, which is of considerable archaeological interest. Existing works in Kremada include a pumping station fed by the Kremada canal and a small tank that feeds the Asopo pipe that terminates at the Bilizas pumping station. The Kremada pumping station is a rather rough and ready construction that spoils the landscape of this area interest. The little feeder tank will of archaeological remain. Instead of the existing inlet chamber, it is planned to install a feeder tank to be shared by both the existing 1 300 mm diameter pipeline and the planned new 1 800 diameter pipeline, that will run over 2,5 km alongside the existing pipeline to increase the supply capacity of the system feeding the Asopo pumping station to 6,75 m3/s without needing to pump at Kremada. The new pipeline will discharge into the existing feeder tank at the Asopo pumping station. This tank will remain, although new load reduction works will be needed, together with a new pipe to convey excess flow to the valley in order to avoid the danger of soil erosion. form, In its present the Asopo pumping station has insufficient capacity to discharge the increased yield of 6,75 m3/s. A new pumping station will therefore be built at an appropriate spot on the available site to provide the necessary additional pumping capacity. like the existing one, will This additional pumping installation at Asopo will be connected to a second discharge pipe 2,9 km long which, the existing tank at Klidi, which is the starting point of the existing pipeline from Klidi to Dafnoula, which will also be kept. In the trench for this pipeline and for the new Kremada-Asopo pipeline a 110 diameter PVC pipe will be laid to carry telephone and telemetric cable. terminate at The Klidi the new tank needs adjusting to accept discharge pipe from Asopo and a device to increase the discharge capacity to cope with the new, higher yield of 6,75 m3/s. The Klidi tank will continue to operate with the same maximum level as at present. is planned to increase the capacity of It the Klidi- Dafnoula pipeline by inserting two impulsion pumps to enable the pipeline to convey 6,75 m3/s. These pumps will be placed at suitable positions, with the head pump lifting the hydraulic grade line by 22 m and the second pump by 11,5 m, to ensure that the internal pressures increased, or are increased on the pipeline are not imperceptibly, in relation to the pressures currently exerted, which the pipeline can withstand. should be fitted with the These impulsion pumps necessary surge protection devices to ensure that the 1 800 diameter concrete pipeline is not subject to excess pressure for which it was not designed. It will be possible to isolate the impulsion pumps so that the pipeline can operate as it does today or revers, with the flow in the opposite direction (from Dafnoula to Klidi). it Lastly, is planned to restore the structure through which the Klidi-Dafnoula pipeline discharges into the open canal of the Mornos waterway immediately upstream of the entrance to the Kitherona tunnel. 6.

Description The project concerns the provision of waste water collection systems and waste water treatment facilities to serve the main population centres discharging to Donegal Bay, the provision of sewage sludge facilities to serve the southern part of County Donegal and the establishment of a catchment water quality management plan for Donegal Bay. This Decision covers the following works: (a) Donegal Bay Catchment Water Quality Management Plan. The major factors affecting the water quality in the Donegal Bay Catchment are urban and industrial waster water discharges. The initial work that has quality already on water carried been out in the planning of management of Donegal Bay and the work that will be carried out the priority schemes approved under this decision together with the full Water Quality Management Plan for the Bay will assess the existing effluent disposal system at each of the major urban populations, quantify their environmental impact with regard to the receiving waters and identify the most appropriate and cost effective form of treatment at each location. The results will enable Donegal County Council to assign targets for the required further priorities and set works in order to prevent and abate pollution of the waters, safeguard public health and facilitate the implementation of relevant European Union and national legislation. The proposed improvements and amendments to each of the existing urban drainage systems will be modelled and the associated improvements to the water quality of the receiving waters will be quantified.
