.1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Chapter ’’Environmental Impact Assessment’’ to FS ’’ Introduction of Energy-Saving Technologies in Railroad Traffic on theZnamianka –VadymTrack Section of the Znamianka – Dolynska – Mykolaiv – Kherson – Djankoi Route’’

The Feasibility study provides for:

− Construction of the second track 328,43 km long including upgrading of the existing track – 13,45 km long;

− Construction of a contact network 860,7 km long.

In view of electrification of the track construction of new ESTs is foreseen at all stations and junctions, traction substations and duty postsbuildings of the contact network at stations Mykolaiv, Novopoltavka, Kherson and Brylivka; locomotive maintenance points at stations Mykolaivand Kherson.

Construction of the second track and its operation facilities is foreseen in the roadbed of the railway so there is no need for extra land.

Introduction of energy saving technologies in railroad traffic on the Znamianka – Vadym track section resulted in the improvement ofenvironmental conditions at the expense of exclusion of emmisions into the air of diesel fuel combastion products with total amount of 9375,3t/year.

For the disposal of wastewater from the service and technical buildings at stations Velyki Kopani, Radenske, Novokyivka, junctions Chehovychi,Kotlyareve, Horokhivka, Hreyhove, Lotskyne, Horozhene, and junctions Dobrovilsky, Kazanka, Novodanylivka, Kutsivka, Maderove, Tsukrovapurification installations of the Biotal type will the built with a productivity of 2 m3/day and the treated wastewater will be discharged into filtrationyards.

At stations Vadym, Kalanchak, Brylivks, Tsiuryupynsk, Novopoltavka, Sharivka, junction 5 km - purification installations of the Biotal type with aproductivity of 7 m3/day.

To purify surface flows at the CDAP of stations Kherosn, Brylivka, Mykolaiv and Novopoltavka purification plants with a regulating holdingcapacity will be built.

In the process of construction and operation of facilities construction and domestic waste is disposed, the removal of waste is carried out accordingto the concluded agreements.

The introduction of energy-saving technologies will reduce to a minimum the impact on the environment, agricultural output, landscape, as well asthe flora and fauna. The elimination of emissions of diesel fuel combustion into the atmosphere (carbon monoxide, sulfurous anhydride, nitrogendioxide and soot) will reduce the area’s background pollution, all of which will have a positive effect on the environment.

Since the estimated noise levels in the buffer area will not increase, the FS does not foresee any additional measures.

4

Measures – namely safety, technological and planning measures – have been developed to assure a standard status of the environment.

Measures have been undertaken to protect line-cable communication facilities from electromagnetic impact.

Measures are also foreseen in a scope that is necessary to protect warehouses and structures against sparking of highly inflammable liquid fuels andgases.

Ionizing radiation and ultrasound are absent.

In the course of introduction of energy saving technologies in railroad traffic on the route Znamianka – Dolynska – Mykolaiv – Kherson – Djankoi –Vadym and electrification of the route along with construction of the second track the environment will be impacted.

The environment will be impacted in the following way during the construction process:

− Traffic comlications

− Increased noise level

− Pollution of adjecent areas with dust

− Air pollution by the used gases from the construction equipment.

During operation the impact will be as follows:

− Traffic noise

− Electromagnetic radiation

− Vibrations from railway traffic

− Gas emissions from heating equipment

− Gas emissions from welding equipment

− Water consumption and water discharge.

The public has been informed about the FS '' Introduction of Energy-Saving Technologies in Railroad Traffic on the Znamianka –Vadym TrackSection of the Znamianka – Dolynska – Mykolaiv – Kherson – Djankoi Route’’, its purpose and ways of implementation through media and publicconsultations in Kirovohrad, Mykolaiv and Kherson oblasts.

Main theses of First Speaker The ecological component of the present project is improving the ecological state at the

expense of the elimination of emission of diesel fuel combustion products into the atmosphere, which will allows to lower hothouse gas ejection into the atmosphere and significant reduce noise level. The effective feasibility study for performance of works for ensuring the transfer of railroad traffic to electric traction with simultaneous building of second track and reconstruction of track development of stations determines main technical decisions for introducing energy saving technology during railroad shipments along Znamianka – Dolynska – Mykolaiv – Kherson - Dzhankoi route, on the Znamianka - Vadym run, their value assessment and the expediency of their implementation.

The feasibility study envisages the laying of second track 328.43 km long, including the

reconstruction of the existing track network – 13.45 km, and electrification of route – 385 kilometers.

23

An additional 1232 persons will be employed to operate the network, estimate assessment of construction makes up UAH 6 883 465.48 thousand. The project structures shall be equipped with water supply and sewerage networks with local purification facilities.

The fulfillment of the building of a second track and servicing-technical facilities pose additional requirements:

- mounding ordinary earth on embankment – 602.1 thousand m3

- mounding draining earth on embankment – 522.1 thousand m3

- trimming tracks – crushed stone – 681.34 thousand m3

- sand – 370.50 thousand m3

In the course of the building and operation of facilities, construction and household waste will be utilized, and its removal carried out in accordance with concluded agreements.

The introduction of energy saving technology will reduce the negative impact on the environment, agriculture, production, landscape and natural flora and fauna to a minimum. The elimination of the emission of diesel fuel combustion products into the atmosphere (carbonic oxide, sulfuric anhydride, nitrogen dioxide and soot) will lessen background pollution in the region, which will have a positive impact on the environment.

The noise level resulting from the transfer of railroad tracks to electric traction will not change. It is planned to build noise suppression structures along the tracks in the vicinity of residential buildings near the tracks.

Measures have been worked out that will ensure normative state of the environment, namely:

protective, technological and planned.

Measures have been adopted for protection against electromagnetic impact of linear cable communication structures.

Envisaged is the fulfillment of measures in volumes, necessary for protecting storehouses and structures with highly inflammable and fuel liquids and gases from sparking.

Ionizing radiation and ultrasound are nonexistent.

Taking into account to the carrying out of feasibility study measures we can make a conclusion

on safety, from the viewpoint of the ecology, and thus, on the possibility to carry out the introduction of energy saving technology during railroad shipments along the Znamianka - Vadym run.

2. Main thesis of the report by S. V. Topalov, Chief Engineer, Kherson Office for Railroad

Shipments.

Railroad traffic is one of the basic branches of the economy of Ukraine, which ensure its internal and foreign transport and economic ties and requirements of the population in shipments. However the state of the production and technical base requires renewal and modernization. Problem issues, which today complicate the operation of railroads, include limited carrying capacity on Crimean routes. In connection with the introduction high speed passenger train traffic and separation of freight and passenger train routes for more effective use, increase in the volume of cargo shipments to ports in Mykolaiv, Kherson, Zhovtneva and the development of deep water ports in the Crimea, which envisage an increase in the workability capacity of ports, it is extremely necessary to strengthen the carrying capacity of the parallel run. The Dolynska – Mykolaiv – Kherson - Dzhankoi route is overloaded at the present time and is unable to meet shipment requirements. The project envisages the building of a second track and electrification of railroad traffic with the construction of traction substations, electric-traction networks and supply lines for automatic blocking devices,

24

electric centralization and communication and high-voltage internal electricity supply lines for servicing them.

The electrification of railroads will be carried out on alternating current, the advantage of

which has been confirmed by many years of operating respective sections. Capital expenditures for electrification on alternating current are 15-18% lower than that on direct current. The laying of a second track, electrification and modernization of signaling and communication systems, telecommunication systems are a package of measures, necessary for strengthening the carrying capacity of the route.

3. Answers to questions: 3.1. Question: What amount of earth is it planned to remove during the building of the track?

Answer: There will be no removal of earth during the building. 3.2. Question: How will the disassembled equipment be utilized?

Answer: In the process of building and operation of the facilities, construction and household wastes will be utilized, and removal will be carried out in accordance with the signed agreements.

3.3. Question: Will the noise level be reduced during the operation of electric trains? Answer: There will be no change in the noise level resulting from the transfer of railroad tracks to electric traction. It is planned to erect noise suppression structures in the vicinity of residential buildings near the tracks. 3.3. Question: What impact will the transfer to electric traction have on the environment after its implementation? Answer: The introduction of energy saving technology will reduce the negative impact on the environment, agriculture, production, landscape, natural flora and fauna to a minimum. The elimination of the emission of diesel fuel combustion products (carbonic oxide, sulfuric anhydride, nitrogen dioxide and soot) into the atmosphere will lessen background pollution in the region, which will have a positive impact on the environment. Decision taken at the meeting: Having heard and discussed the issue pertaining to the impact of transferring train traffic to

electric traction with simultaneous building of a second track and reconstruction of track development of stations, and taking into account that the introduction of energy saving technology will reduce the negative impact on the environment, agriculture, production and natural flora and fauna to a minimum, at the expense of eliminating the emission of diesel fuel combustion products into the atmosphere and significantly reduce noise level from railroad transport,

1. To agree to the transfer of train traffic to electric traction with simultaneous building of a second track and reconstruction of track development of stations.

2. To support and render assistance at all levels of coordination and construction of this project.

The chairman of the meeting thanked those present for their active participation in discussing

this issue. The discussion lasted 2 hours.

Main theses of First Speaker

The ecological component of the present project is improving the ecological state at the expense of eliminating the emission of diesel fuel combustion products into the atmosphere, which will allow to lower hothouse gas ejection into the atmosphere and significant reduce noise level. The effective feasibility study for performance of works for ensuring the transfer of railroad traffic to electric traction with simultaneous building of second track and reconstruction of track development of stations determines main technical decisions for introducing energy saving technology during railroad shipments along Znamianka – Dolynska – Mykolaiv – Kherson - Dzhankoi route, on the Znamianka - Vadym run, their value assessment and the expediency of their implementation.

The feasibility study includes the laying of a 328.43 kilometer second track including the

reconstruction of the existing track network – 13.45 kilometers, and electrification of route – 385 kilometers. An additional 1232 persons will be required for operating the network, estimate assessment of construction – UAH 6 883 465.48. The project structures shall be equipped with water supply and sewerage networks with local purification facilities.






In the course of the building and operation of facilities, building and household waste will be utilized, and the removal of these wastes carried out in accordance with concluded agreements.


The noise level resulting from the transfer of railroad tracks to electric traction will remain the same. It is planned to build noise suppression structures along the tracks near residential buildings.

Taking into account the carrying out of measures in the feasibility study we can make a

conclusion on safety, from the viewpoint of the ecology, and thus, on the possibility to carry out the introduction of energy saving technology during railroad shipments along the Znamianka - Vadym run.

2. Main theses and report by V.V. Matviyenko, Chief Engineer of the Znamianka Office for

Railroad Shipments Railroad traffic is one of the basic branches of the economy of Ukraine, which ensure its

internal and foreign transport and economic ties and requirements of the population in shipments. However the state of the production and technical base requires renewal and modernization. Problem issues, which today complicate the operation of railroads, include limited traffic carrying capacity on Crimean routes. In connection with the introduction high speed passenger train traffic and separation of freight and passenger train routes for more effective use, increase in the volume of cargo shipments to ports in Mykolaiv, Kherson, Zhovtneva and the development of deep water ports in the Crimea, which envisage an increase in the workability capacity of ports, it is extremely necessary to strengthen the carrying capacity of the parallel run. The Dolynska – Mykolaiv – Kherson - Dzhankoi route is overloaded at the present time and is unable to meet shipment requirements. The project envisages the building of a second track and electrification of railroad traffic with the construction of traction substations, electric-traction networks and supply lines for automatic blocking devices, electric centralization and communication and high-voltage internal electricity supply lines for servicing them


which has been confirmed by many years of operating respective sections. Capital expenditures for electrification on alternating current are 15-18% lower than that on direct current. The laying of a second track, electrification and modernization of the signaling and communication systems, telecommunication systems are complex measures, necessary for strengthening the carrying capacity of the route.

3. Answers to questions: 3.1. V. I. Sybirtsev. Question: What amount of earth is it planned to remove during the building

of the track? Answer: There will be no removal of earth during the building.

3.2. M. O. Sukhomlyn. Question: How will the disassembled equipment be utilized? Answer: In the process of building and operation of the facilities, construction and

household wastes will be utilized, and removal will be carried out in accordance with concluded agreement.

3.3. V. I. Sybirtsev. Question: Is an ecological examination planned of the construction project? Answer: The complex examination includes both ecological examination and is being carried out at the UkrDerzhBudExpertiza in Kyiv.

3.4. S. I. Zelenokorinniy. Question: Will the noise level be reduced during the operation of electric trains?

Answer: There will be no change in the noise level resulting from the transfer of railroad tracks to electric traction. It is planned to erect noise suppression structures in the vicinity of residential buildings near the tracks. 3.5. H. V. Danyliuk. Question: What impact will the transfer to electric traction have on the environment after its implementation? Answer: The introduction of energy saving technology will reduce the negative impact on the environment, agriculture, production, landscape, natural flora and fauna to a minimum. The

28

elimination of the emission of diesel fuel combustion products (carbonic oxide, sulfuric anhydride, nitrogen dioxide and soot) into the atmosphere will lessen background pollution in the region, which will have a positive impact on the environment.

Proposals: 1. S. I. Zelenokorinniy, Mayor of Dolynska – to plan the building of 2 pedestrian

crossings through the Dolynska Station. 2. Support the intension of UkrZalisnytsia and Odesa Railroad to develop and strengthen

the carrying capacity along Znamianka – Dolynska – Mykolaiv route, electrification, modernization of the signaling and communication systems, telecommunication system.

3. Take into account opportunities in the Oblast for enlisting contracting organization and quarries to mounding railroad bed.
