Water pollution levelWater pollution level

The section of the Danube that flows through Serbia (SRB) is 588 km longof which about 138 km constitute the state border with Croatia and about213 km with Romania.

The Danubes largest tributaries, Drava, Sava and Tisa-increasing its flowabout 2.5 times.

Other significant tributaries -Velika Morava, Tamis The important impact to the water pollution have cattle and pig farms,

slaughterhouses, meat processing industry and other food industries.


6/41

ObjectivesObjectivesThe main objective is reduction of nutrient load discharged into the DanubeRiver and its tributaries from livestock farms, notably pig and cattle farms,and slaughterhouses.

The enviromental objective is to reduce nutrient flows into water bodies

connected to the Danube River from selected enterprises and promotionCode of Good Agricultural Practice.

Nutrients:

Nutrients are nitrogen and phosphorous compounds whose surplus run offto watercourses causing algae bloom which in turn suffocate the water flow,resulting in polluted, foul smelling water in such watercourse, unsuitable forbathing and drinking, and massive die off of living organisms such ascrayfish, fish or aquatic plants due to oxygen depletion in such water.

Nutrients origin : Nutrients originate primarily from cattle, pig and poultry excrete popularly

referred to as manure and slurry.

Project componentsProject components:

Component 1. Regulatory Reform and Capacity Building

Component 2. Investment in Nutrient Reduction

Component 3. Water and Soil Quality Monitoring, Public Awareness

Component 4. Project Management, Implementation and Monitoring


9/41

Low interest of SH and agricultural processing industry Readinesss of farmers to invest in environmentnt protection Undeveloped local market for large and specific manure management

equipment - repetition of tenders Local permitting procedures in regard to manure and waste water treatmentfacilities were not foreseen in the preparation phase of the project

Large portions of funds committed but could only be disbursed upon

delivery of equipment or upon completion of construction works and

obtaining operating permit Construction season- limited period for realization of field project activities

Key Issues - including main implementation obstacles thatresulted in low disbursement in initial phase of

the project


10/41

Key results:

The Code of Good Agricultural Practice.

Study Preparation of a Nitrate Directive Implementation Plan andLegal Framework for Serbia.

120 nutrient management plans (NMP) prepared.

Visited and work with over 200 farms.

New procedures and activities developed and introduced.

100 farms- received the grant support (facilities and equipment).

3 Slaughterhouses in program of Project support.

3 Rendering plants received equipment for collecting wasteproducts.


11/41

Key results:

7 Agriculture Schools received the grant support (construction works andequipment).

Established Training and Information Centre (TIC).

650 participants trained in TIC about EU legislation on ND and WFD,

CGAP, proper manure and slaughterhouse animal waste management. Provided equipment for laboratories and software for the Soil Science

Institute (SSI), Hydrometeorological Institute (HMI) and 4 local laboratories.

Installed 53 piezometers at 9 demonstration farms.

Public awareness raised aprox. 21% in general public, 38% amongstakeholders (2006-2008).


12/41

Key RecommendationsKey Recommendations:

Simplify permitting procedure and provide incentives to industry toinvest in WWT facilities;

More flexible approach in introduction of necessary changes in

project document;

Adjust procedures with situation on the field;

Project preparation- conduct small scale pilot project;

Procedures and activities predicted in the Project preparationphase could be changed due to the time difference and legal andsocial environment changes;

Secure that Project always has one authorized person for special

accounts- project manager/ coordinator Training of Ministries coordinators on:

Relevant rules and procedures - how, who, help, assistance;

M&E Reporting procedures;

Training and Information CenterTraining and Information Center (TIC)(TIC), Institute of Animal Husbandry, Institute of Animal Husbandry

A Training and Information Center (TIC) will be supported as a knowledgeresource base, accreditation and training center for trainers, extensionagents, staff of MAFWM and MSEP/DEP, managers of farms and agro-processing facilities. The TIC will be located at the IAH, Belgrade-Zemun.

Project will support IAH to become a model demonstration and training farmand improve the technical skills of the staff to become trainers for extensionadvisors, industry and policy enforcement staff of the relevant ministries andagencies.

Organized trainings for 650 participants during four years

Water and Soil MonitoringWater and Soil Monitoring

Nutrient ReductionThe objective of this component is to demonstrate to livestock farms and slaughterhouses cost-effective methodsto reduce nutrient run-off and discharge into the Danube River and its tributaries; and to improve agriculturaladvisory service capacity to extend knowledge and adoption of these technologies in the project area.

Water monitoring Monitoring of water quality at the eight demonstration farms and the IAH.

Testing the effect of agricultural practices introduced at the eight demonstration farms and the IAH to reduce theleaching of nitrogen and phosphorus to local surface and groundwater.

Lab analyses are being done by the Hidrometeorological Institute (HMI), the results will show decreasing ofpollution level in surface and groundwaters at selected demonstration farms and IAH. According with this, 72pezometers are installed at all of 9 demo farms. Based on first results it is shown that the process of pollution hasno increasing trends.

Soil monitoring

For soil quality monitoring at the eight demonstration farms and the IAH was engaged Soil Science Institute inBelgrade. Soil quality monitoring was done at others farms by the 4 Local Labs (Pozarevac, Sabac, Vrbas, Novi Sad)

engaged and equiped by the Project One-hectare plots will be used to demonstrate and promote the use of good agricultural management practices in

IAH TIC. The impact of these practices on soil quality will be monitored with the aim of providing demonstrationstudies to farmers and policy makers of Serbia.

Total number of soil samples tested 124 as well as 94 manure samples at approximately 60 farms.
