Environmental impact:
|
The project was screened B/0 requiring an environmental analysis.
An independent environmental consultant carried environmental analysis for siting and assessment of potential impacts of mono-pulse secondary surveillance radar (MSSR) as well as potential environmental impacts of Ohrid Airport rehabilitation. A team of experts including Eurocontrol and the Bank's independent air navigation system expert identified 7 potential sites for a location for MSSR. Based on 8 criteria, the location of Turtel on Plackovica mountain was selected as the optimal one. The experts confirmed that this MSSR facility did not present significant health and environmental hazard.
Due to the great sensitivity of the Lake Ohrid (under UNESCO protection), direct discharging of run-offs from the airport runway into the lake will be prevented.
