During the public consultations, there were no significant remarks in regards to environmental protection issues. The Remarks, Question and Answers: Q1: Mr. Zoran Popovic: Will appropriate safety measures take place in the zone of primary school in Banja Settlement? A1: Yes, safety is an integral part of each RRSP sub-project and increasing of safety is recognized as one of the major project tasks. Special attention will be paid to the area of primary school in Banja settlement (at km 3+485). That location will be particularly treated from the safety improvement point of view. The existing sidewalks will be ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK DOCUMENT, FINAL 96 ROAD REHABILITATION AND SAFETY PROJECT – RRSP rehabilitated, new ones will be designed on locations of interruptions and where the sidewalks are missing by km 5+000, since there is a school at km 3+500 and the pedestrian movement is intensive. Special safety workshops/courses for school children will be held in many schools which are placed along the roads which are subject of RRSP Project. Additionally, during design phase, it will be requested that designers provides design with proper traffic warning signs and speed limitations within the zone of primary school, and to consider possibility to implement vibro-acoustic trips as appropriate design solution for ensuring driver awareness about the particularly sensitive area in safety point of view. Q2: Mr. Zoran Popovic: How existing access/crossing points of the main road and local roads will be treated through project implementation? A2: The rehabilitation and widening works won't affect existing crossing points. Q3: Mr. Zoran Popovic: How protection of different water bodies (streams and river Kubursnica) will be ensured during Project implementation? Are the works on existing culverts and bridges also treated in a manner to ensure protection of water bodies from any kind of pollution? A3: The Rehabilitation Contractor will operate construction site in a way to reduce the risk of generating sediments and wastewater that may pollute local soils or receiving water bodies. The Contractor’s Site Specific Implementation Plan (SSIP) will cover procedures and plans for safeguarding aquatic habitats and fish during works over all water bodies, including the ones connected with Kubrsnica River, and will complement the Construction Method Statements. All request related to possible water pollution will be ensured through environmental management - waste and wastewater management plan will be prepared and implemented. Q4: Mr. Zoran Popovic: How oily wash-water or accidental spills are treated through the project? In case of spillage, will oils and fuels be drained into appropriate reservoirs or it will be allowed to leek directly or indirectly into watercourse? A4: The construction Site will be properly drained. The oily wash-water will be passed through an adequately sized, gravity oil separator prior to discharge. Paved areas, including vehicle parking areas, workshops and fuel storage areas are to drain to an oil and water separator. The contractor will have trained personnel who are competent in fuel handling procedures and for cleaning up accidental spills. The Rehabilitation contractor will prepare Oil and fuel storage management plan. Where fuel in excess of 5,000 litres is stored on site, it will be stored in sealed tanks on a concrete base that is bunded to hold 110% of the tank capacity. The Contractor’s SSIP will cover all procedures for storage, transportation and usage of oils and fuels, refueling of plant and machinery and procedures for minimizing the risk of ground and water contamination. All oils and fuels will be required to be stored within secondary containment of 110 % capacity and all spillages shall be cleaned up immediately. Re-fuelling vehicles will carry Spill Kits to enable spillages to be cleaned up as soon as possible. Fuel storage areas will not be located within 20m of a water course. Q5: Mrs. Ljiljana Plecevic: Will contractor equipment and machinery be certified regarding noise and air pollution emissions? Suggestion to PERS to carefully control including of subcontractors into the rehabilitation works. A5: Rehabilitation Contractor is obliged to prove that all equipment is licenced and approved in accordance with EU standards. This applies to all machinery, vehicles and construction sites where noise and vibration may affect susceptible receptors. The contractor will be responsible for ensuring that noise and vibration does not affect the adjacent communities, in accordance with the Law on noise protection (“Official Gazette of RS�, 36/09). ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK DOCUMENT, FINAL 97 ROAD REHABILITATION AND SAFETY PROJECT – RRSP Q6: Mrs. Ljiljana Plecevic: How noise, water and soil pollution monitoring activities will look like during project implementation? A6: Noise disturbance to workers and neighboring population: noise levels will be monitored with appropriate equipment (hand held analyser), once at the beginning of the project and later on quarterly basis, and on complaint. If the results of monitoring are not satisfactory, monitoring should be conducted on monthly basis. Water and soil pollution: water and soil quality (suspended solids, oils, pH value, and conductivity) will be monitored by unannounced sampling; analysis will be done at accredited laboratory with necessary equipment. These activities will be performed at least 3 times during project period. Monitoring should be done prior construction (or on a referent point upstream of construction site) and during and after rehabilitation works. Q7: Mrs. Anka Lukovic: Which party is obliged to produce Waste Management Plan (WMP) during project preparation? A7: Rehabilitation Contractor is obliged to produce his own WMP based on EMP requirements. WMP is one of five site specific implementation plans which are necessary to be produced by the Contractor and Approved by the PERS.

Location Description Proposed road section is located in Western Serbia, Zlatibor Administrative District, and it goes through the territories of City of Uzice and Municipality of Pozega (to the borders of territory of City of Cacak and Moravica Administrative District). Figure 3.1: Location of Uzice – Pozega – Kratovska Stena road section The section belonged to the arterial road M-5 according to the old network classification, while according to the new classification, it is categorized as a state road of the IA category No. 4, B&H border (Vardiste) – Pojate (state road of the IA category No. 1). The chainages to be used for the diagnostics are km 0+000 (Uzice) as starting point and km 37+106 as ending point. The start of the section is in Uzice and it goes to km 1+530, although the whole stretch is free of residential buildings. The following settlements are located along the section: Sevojno, Gorjani, Uzici, Rasna, Pozega and Gugalj. There are de-levelled interchanges (overpasses) at two locations: km 0+140 and km 2+908. With several de-levelled interchanges, mostly tunnels under the road, there is a railway Pozega- Stalac, which goes in parallel with the road from Pozega to Asanovac. The section in question intersects the state road of the IB category No. 13 (deleveled intersection) at 21+710. There is an access of state road of the II category No. 154 at km 29+626 (surface intersection). There are numerous accesses of streets, municipal roads, unclassified roads and private accesses. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK DOCUMENT, FINAL 135 rolling mill stone quarries Figure 3.2: Location of Uzice – Pozega – Kratovska Stena road section Important structures along the road: “Seval� aluminium rolling mill, “Sevojno� copper rolling mill, “Sengolj� and “Jelen Do� stone quarries. Drainage: Transversally to gutters, over the shoulders into the ditches or along the slopes of embankments. Longitudinally by gutters and ditches to culverts or watercourses. As for the potential pollution during operation, these are limited to accidents only. In such a case, procedures for action in incidental situations, as defined by the Ministry of Interior and in the Water Law, will apply. Rehabilitation works description The road works covered by the Project will be carried on the existing road with no change of the alignments. Through the Detailed Design Phase it will be reconsidered if some widening is possible. In that case it is expected to perform widening on 4 curves, up to 2m. Additionally, widening of existing carriageway up to 0.2m is proposed on 500 m long sub section ending on Kratovska Stena. All widening will be taken within the right of way. The project therefore entails no resettlement and land acquisition as defined by OP 4.01, nor long lasting disruptions to the natural environment and human settlements and activities. Physical Environment Geography Road section Uzice – Pozega – Kratovska Stena in the length of 37.1 km belongs to the road link Vardiste (border of Bosnia-Herzegovina) - Pojate on the main road E-761, in Western Serbia, Zlatibor Administrative District. Road goes through the territories of City of Uzice and Municipality of Pozega (to the borders of territory of City of Cacak and Moravica Administrative District. Watercourses There are two watercourses that go in parallel with the road: the Djetinja River at part from Uzice to Pozega, while from Pozega to Asanovac there is the river Zapadna Morava. The section is intersected by several streams and one river flow (the Skrapez river at km 23+117). ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK DOCUMENT, FINAL 136 The water quality standard of the river is II class according to the Serbian categorization of watercourses. Due to the nature of road rehabilitation works of the watercourses will not be affected by the works through the implementation of good construction management practices. There are no sensitive species (fish) in Zapadna Morava and Skrapez River that could be impacted by the project works. Drainage of run-off water is ensured on both directions, transversally (to gutters, over the shoulders into the ditches or along the slopes of embankments) and longitudinally (by gutters and ditches to culverts or watercourses). As for the potential pollution during operation, these are limited to accidents only. In such a case, procedures for action in incidental situations, as defined by the Ministry of Interior and in the Water Law, will apply. Figure 3.3: Bridge over Skrapez River Air Quality Within the corridor of road section Uzice – Pozega – Kratovska Stena there are two existing point sources of air pollution. They are “Sengolj� and “Jelen Do� stone quarries. It is up to the designers and the Contractor to decide if these stone quarries will be used by the project. PERS will monitor all Contractors activities, including possession of valid working permits and environmental approvals for all subcontractors. The existing road (E-761) is linear sources which cause additional emission of air pollutants along the corridor of proposed road section. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK DOCUMENT, FINAL 137 Figure 3.4: Road, Railway and Stone Quarry “Jelen Do� Industrial structures are present within the studied area (“Seval� aluminium rolling mill, “Sevojno� copper rolling mill) and they cause increased levels of concentrations of pollutants in the atmosphere when operating in full capacity or without applying air-pollution reduction measures. However, the measurements and action in respect to operation of these facilities are outside the jurisdictions of institutions involved in preparation and execution of this project. Data on the measured values of air pollution in the observed corridor were not available. Based on experience and expected traffic load the planned road rehabilitation works, and operation of road after rehabilitation will not increase existing levels of air pollutants within the corridor of proposed road section. Noise Quality Noise is another threat to the quality of the p r o j e c t environment. Many heavy vehicles such as trucks, buses, cars, move on the road during day & nights and these vehicles generate high noise in this subproject area. There are two dominant noise sources on proposed road section Uzice – Pozega – Kratovska Stena:  Existing State Road of the IA Category No.4 (E-761) as linear source  Existing major railway “Belgrade – Bar� Based on experience and expected traffic load the planned road rehabilitation works, and operation of road after rehabilitation will not increase existing levels of noise within the corridor of proposed road section. Biological Environment The composition of plant community includes low growing grasses and herbaceous vegetation as well as other flora. No wild animals inhabit and endangered species are present in this area. No forestland is involved in this area are found surrounding the proposed subproject locations. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK DOCUMENT, FINAL 138 Socio-economic Environment Settlements The start of the section is in Uzice and it goes to km 1+530, although the whole stretch is free of residential buildings. The following settlements are located along the section: Sevojno, Gorjani, Uzici, Rasna, Pozega and Gugalj. Roads and Railways Belgrade – Bar railway goes in parallel with the section Uzice-Pozega. There are de-levelled interchanges (overpasses) at two locations: km 0+140 and km 2+908. With several de-levelled interchanges, mostly tunnels under the road, there is a railway Pozega-Stalac, which goes in parallel with the road from Pozega to Asanovac. The section in question intersects the state road of the IB class no. 13 (deleveled intersection) at 21+710. There is an access of state road of the second class no. 154 at km 29+626 (surface intersection). There are numerous accesses of streets, municipal roads, unclassified roads and private accesses. Figure 3.5: Road section Uzice – Pozega and Belgrade – Bar Railway Land Use Most of the surrounding areas are developing industrial & rural in nature. There are many industries operating in the area. Commercial activities are found around the project site. Industries and Commerce Industrial structures are present within the studied area (“Seval� aluminium rolling mill, “Sevojno� copper rolling mill) and they cause increased levels of concentrations of pollutants in the atmosphere when operating in full capacity or without applying air-pollution reduction measures. Socio-cultural, Religious and Archeological Sites There are no archaeological structures / monuments or sites that are of significance in the vicinity of the subproject locations. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK DOCUMENT, FINAL 139 Important Environmental Features/Hotspots Locations of major environmental hotspots/features along the road are shown in the Table 3.1.

Location Description The section is located in Vojvodina, partly in the administrative district of the Southern Banat, and partly in the administrative district of the Central Banat. Administrative units where the section is located are Zabalj and Zrenjanin. The section belongs to the IB state road category, number 20 (Novi Sad-Zrenjanin-Secanj-Plandiste-Vrsac). According to the old classification, it belonged to the arterial road M-7 (Backa Palanka-Novi Sad-Zrenjanin-Zitiste-Nova Crnja- Srpska Crnja Border Crossing). Length of the section is 24.2 km. Pavement width is 8.5m (the road was constructed as the first phase of future motorway), except for the part across the Tisa River, where the road is narrowed to 7.00 m. The planned works include milling of the existing wearing course, remedy of cracks from cement stabilization and construction of two new asphalt layers. The road alignment goes across two bigger watercourses, Jegricka Canal and the Tisa River. Jegricka Canal is a part of Nature Park “Jegricka� which is statutory protected under III zone of protection. A bridge on the Jegricka Canal was constructed in 1981 and the bridge span is 61m. The bridge on the Tisa was constructed in 1963, while its span is 401.5m. The bridge was rehabilitated in detail in 2005, while in 2010 sidewalks were reconstructed and fences replaced. Zrenjanin Zabalj Figure 3.10: Location of Zabalj Intersection – Zrenjanin road section Works on the bridges over Jegricka and Tisa rivers are excluded from the project, due to the fact that pavement on subject bridges is replaced recently and there is no need to replace it again. In addition to these structures, there are several culverts on the section, on locations where the road crosses over the melioration canals. The canals are neglected and not cleaned recently. The design states rehabilitation of culverts, but based on the experience from the previous ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK DOCUMENT, FINAL 141 sections where the culverts were treated within the right of way and cleaned and excavated to the required depth in accordance with the requirements from the local institution for water management, their full function will not be achieved unless the institution for water management cleans the canals. Draining will be performed over the pavement surface with ditches that will be partly drainage and partly absorbing ditches. As for the potential pollution during operation, these are limited to accidents only. In such a case, procedures for action in incidental situations, as defined by the Ministry of Interior and in the Water Law, will apply. Rehabilitation works description The road works covered by the Project will be carried on existing road with no change of the alignments. The project therefore entails no resettlement and land acquisition as defined by OP 4.01, nor long lasting disruptions to the natural environment and human settlements and activities. Physical Environment Geography The section is located in clearly flat area, on medium high embankment. The section is typically rural, without passing through the settlements. There are several farms (“salasi�) alongside the road, at distance of not less than 100-150m, covering the stretch from Zabalj intersection to the Tisa River. From the Tisa River to Zrenjanin, the section goes through weekend settlements whose buildings and structures do not occupy the road reserve and these generally do not have accesses to the main road. Watercourses The section is intersected by two important river flow (the Jegricka Canal and Tisa River). Drainage of run-off water is ensured on both directions, transversally (to gutters, over the shoulders into the ditches or along the slopes of embankments) and longitudinally (by gutters and ditches to culverts or watercourses). Figure 3.11: Bridge over Tisa River ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK DOCUMENT, FINAL 142 A segment of proposed road section from Zabalj Intersection to Zrenjanin is crossing Jegricka Canal in the vicinity of natural protected area – Nature Park “Jegricka�. Adequate mitigation measures and appropriate monitoring plan are included in this EMP document. Figure 3.12: Bridge over Jegricka River Air Quality Within the corridor of road section Zabalj Intersection – Zrenjanin there is no significant point sources of noise or air pollution. Existing major road M-7 is linear source which causes additional emission of air pollutants along the corridor of proposed road section. Data on the measured values of air pollution in the observed corridor were not available. Based on experience and expected traffic load during and after the planned road rehabilitation works, the increase of existing levels of air pollutants within the corridor of proposed road section is not expected. Noise Quality Existing state road of the IB class, no. 20 (old marking; M-7) on Zabalj - Zrenjanin road direction as linear source is the only dominant noise source. There are no noise affected zones within the proposed road corridor due to the fact that whole stretch is free of residential buildings. There are no sensitive receptors (schools, hospitals, etc.) along the route. Biological Environment No wild animals inhabit and endangered species are present in this area. No forestland is involved in this area are found surrounding the proposed subproject locations. Socio-economic Environment Settlements ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK DOCUMENT, FINAL 143 The start of the section is in Zabalj intersection, fairly distanced from city of Zabalj. Section goes to the km 24+200, and the whole stretch is free of residential buildings. Only residential zone is noted on the end of proposed road section, in Zrenjanin suburb area. Land Use Most of the surrounding areas are agricultural in nature. There are no industries operating in the area. Commercial activities are found around the project site (snail breeding complex, but non-working in recent years). Industries and Commerce There are no industries operating in the area. Socio-cultural, Religious and Archeological Site There are no archaeological structures / monuments or sites that are of significance in the vicinity of the subproject locations. Important Environmental Features/Hotspots Locations of major environmental hotspots/features along the road are shown in the Table 3.3.

EXPLANATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES: explain Y, M and B responses C. RECOMMENDED ACTION (Highlight Appropriate Action): 1. The project has no potential for substantial adverse environmental effects. No further Environmental Management Plan is required.* 2. The project has potential for adverse environmental concerns (baselines section and water quality issues) and/or environmental impacts; however the recommended mitigation measures will be developed and incorporated in to the project design phase. The recommended mitigation measures will be approved by the MEO in consultation with the BEO. Monitoring of mitigation done will be documented in a monitoring report and sent to the BEO. 3. The project has substantial but mitigatable adverse environmental effects and required measures to mitigate environmental effects. Mitigation and Monitoring (M&M) Plan must be developed and approved by the BEO and/or REO prior to implementation. M&M Plan is to be attached to the Scope of Work.* 4. The project has potentially substantial adverse environmental effects, but requires more analysis to form a conclusion. A Scoping Statement must be prepared and be submitted to the BEO for approval. Following BEO approval an Environmental Assessment (EA) will be conducted. Project may not be implemented until the BEO approves the final EA. For activities related to the procurement, use, or training related to Pesticides a PERUSAP will be prepared for BEO approval. 5. The project has potentially substantial adverse environmental effects, and revisions to the project design or location or the development of new alternatives is required. 6. The project has substantial and unmitigable adverse environmental effects. Mitigation is insufficient to eliminate these effects and alternatives are not feasible. The project is not recommended for funding. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK DOCUMENT, FINAL 146 D.
