B. Measures to develop the Reus ravines

The municipality of Reus has submitted a series of
coordinated measures for environmental rehabilitation in
different parts of the city:

Project 2: Management and drainage of the Mina ravine and
adjoining torrents

In the northern part of the city of Reus rainwater runoff
from the Pedrera del Coubi and the Mas de les Animes
roads will be intercepted and chanelled into the Boca de
la Mina ravine. A tree-lined avenue will also be created
on the available publicly owned land.

Project 3: Canalisation of the Pedret ravine

A main drain will be constructed to collect rainwater
and waste water in the area, between the Riudoms
highway (T-310) and the Escorial ravine; the existing
canal will be cleaned up and covered over and the
resulting land covering some 50 000 m2 will be
developed as a green area or city park.

The approach in both cases will be the same. The land
will first be prepared by closing the tips and releasing
areas of 2,8 ha and 4,6 ha respectively. It is planned also
to alter and smooth out their configuration, smooth out
slopes and plough up the surface layer of the existing
soil to create a new one with improved substrate and

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.

rehabilitating tips.

incineration with energy recovery,

The regional government of Galicia will
implement a
programme to minimise re-use, selectively collect and
recycle solid municipal waste in the region as part of its
overall solid municipal waste plan. This programme will
supplement Galicia’s integrated system for the collection
and treatment of solid municipal waste and provides for
an awareness campaign including publicity on billboards
and in the press, pamphlets and illustrations, mail shots
and sectoral measures.

The programme also provides for the installation, over a

(c) a waste recycling, processing and fuel production plant
consisting of two lines each with a capacity of 40
tonnes of SMW.

Receiving and intake bunkers will have to be built,
as well as buildings for processing solids, pressing
cardboard and paper, storing recycled materials and
pressing plastic, grinding fines, two transfer towers
and a building for storing the fuel produced from
waste.

The process will involve the following stages:

(cid:151) reception and separation of bulky waste,

(cid:151) opening of bags and addition of lime,

(cid:151) drying of coarse waste,

(cid:151) recycling and separation of metals,

(cid:151) grinding coarse and fine waste,

(cid:151) separating the inert materials from coarse and

(d) cogeneration plant

Both the coarse and fine fractions of the SMW will
be dried using energy from the exhaust from either
gas engines or gas turbines.

The facility itself will generate electricity and utilise
exhaust heat for drying the SMW, using either four
gas engines or a 22 MW gas turbine.

The energy capacity would be 21,6 MWe using gas
engines and 22 MWe using the gas turbine.

The engines and their alternators will be housed in a
covered building of 1 000 m2 split into three areas:
engine area, lubrication area and maintenance area,
control room and electrics. A 3,2-tonne travelling

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 washing water to be recovered by returning it to the

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 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.

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.

A further objective is to restore a number of very
degraded sites which, because of their urban location,
are ideal for leisure use by the population.

The ultimate aim is to improve a number of degraded
areas with minimum cost and maximum social utility at
the same time as laying the foundations for complying
with Directive 91/271/EEC, which Member States must
comply with by 2000.

(cid:151) the preservation, protection and improvement of the

environment,

(cid:151) the management of water resources.

The individual measures making up this group of

plan; this ensures consistency with the national strategy
on water resources.

The project’s main purpose is to remedy the damage
caused by drought in recent years, which has obliged the
the immediate
Spanish Government

to provide for

necessities of the population. But the measures should
also help to prevent such serious situations arising again
in the future,
thereby contributing to the priority of
improving the quality of life.

The project complies with the requirements for the

Description

The section of
the river to be improved runs from
downstream of the junction with the River Campanillas
to its mouth. 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).

Description

The aim of the project is hydraulic improvements to the
River Genil between the Puente de la Duquesa and
Barranco Bermejo in order to ensure satisfactory flow
and adequate carrying capacity. Landscape improvements
will also be carried out in the area around the river, thus
improving the quality of life of the local population.

The project will involve two types of measure:

(cid:151) improvements to the water course,

(cid:151) protection of the water course.

The project will comprise the canalisation of a 5 900 m
long stretch of the river from the Puente de la Duquesa
to approximately 700 m upstream from the mouth of
the ship canal.

The site is in the municipalities of Cenes de La Vega and
Pinos-Genil in Granada.

The project aims at fully restoring the banks of the River
Guadiana along about 20 km between the mouth of the
River Matachel and the Montijo dam. This stretch of
sections, each
three clearly distinct
river comprises
the section from
requiring different
types of work:
MØrida to the River Matachel,
the section through
MØrida and the section from MØrida to the Montijo dam.

1. Section from MØrida to the River Matachel

Along this section, eroded soil will be restored and
the banks will be replanted to ensure their stability.

it

Along this section,
is planned to restore the
damaged areas on the banks by planting to
regenerate the original gallery forest and to adapt the
fishways which, together with the fishway already in
place at the dam, will enable fish to travel back up
the river.
It is also planned to create a botanical
garden next to the motorway bridge, with the main
aims of providing an example of Extremadura’s
ecosystems and sclerophyllous vegetation, creating a
seed bank to ensure
the genetic diversity of
Extremaduran species and acting as a centre for
research and environmental education.

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.

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

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,

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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,

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.

Assessment of costs and socio-economic advantages

A cost-benefit analysis has been carried out on the
following basis:

(cid:151) working life of the treatment plants = 20 years

(cid:151) residual value = 0

(cid:151) discount rate = 4 %.

The following benefits were taken into account:

(cid:151) water rates or charges,

(cid:151) financial estimate of

the environmental benefit of

reducing the pollutant load of discharges.

The following costs were taken into account:

(cid:151) initial investment

(cid:151) operating and maintenance costs.

9.1. The project will bring the pollution in the waste water
of
the municipalities concerned down to acceptable
levels before it is discharged into the receiving channels,
from where it might leach into aquifers. The project will
therefore contribute to achieving the goals of Article
the EC Treaty and the fifth Community
130r of
programme of policy and action in relation to the
environment and sustainable development.

The project also complies with Directive 91/271/EEC
and the measures provided for in it are both preventive

Discription

The plant will have the capacity to treat up to
475 tonnes/day of domestic waste without sorting,
in
two working shifts per day for 313 days per year. The
design maximum annual
thus nearly
160 000 tonnes.

capacity

is

Inside the plant, the waste will be sorted, recovered and
processed, thereby ensuring efficient treatment. Rejected
material will be disposed of
in Valladolid’s existing
dump, next to the site of the plant.

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. The digestion bay will be 40 m wide, 125 m
long and 3 m high, with a useful capacity of 15 000m3.

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

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.

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:

Description

The project involves the construction of a new metro
link to Barajas Airport (Mar de Cristal(cid:150)Recintos Feriales(cid:150)
Airport). 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.

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.

Madrid and its airport
passengers,
around
3,4 million visitors and to the Parque de las Naciones for
1,1 million visitors.

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

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

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.

This project concerns increasing the supply capacity of
the Kremada-Dafnoula pipeline from 2,69 m3/s to 6,75
m3/s. This

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

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.

In its present

built at an appropriate spot on the available site to
provide the necessary additional pumping capacity.

The forest ecosystems in Greece are Mediterranean in

fires are very difficult
to put out. The alternation of
mountains and plains, the difference between levels of
rainfall
the adequate water
supply and the large number of visitors increase the

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

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.

Description

This project combines the first and the second stage of
the River Liffey Catchment Plan. The overall project
provides for the extension and upgrading of the Upper
and Lower Liffey Valley Sewerage Scheme and the
planning and the construction of
sludge treatment
facilities and disposal for the catchment. The project also
includes the development and implementation of a water
quality monitoring and management system for
the
catchment. The project involves a regionalising of the
sewerage treatment and sludge treatment facilities in the
catchment
into two centres, at Osberstown and at
Leixslip and aims at improving the water quality in the
River Liffey in order to safeguard the quality of
the
water abstracted from the river for the Dublin water
supply. The River Liffey has been designated as (cid:145)sensitive
waters(cid:146) under the urban waste water Directive from
Osberstown to Leixslip.

(a) Upper Liffey Valley Improvement Scheme (cid:151) this
scheme provides for the extension and upgrading of
the sewerage treatment plant in Osberstown and the
connection of the towns of Kilcullen, Athgarvan and
Prosperous
together with
upgrading of collection systems;

to the extended plant

(b) Lower Liffey Valley Sewerage Scheme (cid:151) this
provides for the extension and upgrading of
the
sewerage treatment plant at Leixslip in addition to
the elimination of infiltration, reduction of storm-
water entering into the system and upgrading of
storm outflow;

(c)

sludge treatment and disposal
the provision of
facilities for all municipal sludge generated in the
catchment;

(d) the design and implementation of a catchment water
quality monitoring and management system for the
River Liffey.

In relation to the works under
and (c)
expenditure incurred before 24 November 1994 is not
eligible for assistance. As regards the works under (d)
expenditure incurred before 18 June 1998 is not eligible.

(a),

(b)

The first stage of the project concerns the planning of
the scheme and has been assisted by the Commission
through Decision C(96) 2104 final of 25 July 1996. The
second stage concerns the construction of
the above
elements including the design and implementation of a
catchment monitoring and management system.

Planning and construction costs relating to the Intel part
of the Lower Liffey Scheme are not included in this
decision and therefore not eligible for assistance.

Objectives

(cid:151) To improve water quality in the River Liffey and
thereby safeguard the quality of water abstracted as
drinking water

(cid:151) To comply with the urban water Directive (91/271/
EEC) and the sewerage sludge Directive (86/278/
EEC).

Stopping the discharge of waste into the River Douro
and conveying waste water in separate sewer systems to
a suitable final discharge site will make it possible to
comply with the objectives
fixed by Community
legislation. Final effluent must comply with the technical
requirements and parameters laid down in Directive 91/
271/EEC on the treatment of waste water.

Taking account of both direct and indirect benefits, in
terms of environmental quality and public health in the
region, the project is financially viable.

The internal rate of return (IRR) is 8,6 %, with a cost-
benefit ratio of around 1,043.

the four
compartments of the sanitary land-fill tip in Torres
Vedras,

two of

(cid:151) construction of five transfer centres,

(cid:151) technical assistance.

Phase two involves:

(cid:151) installation and equipping of a system for

the
selective collection of waste and recycling of by-
products,

(cid:151) construction of two compartments for the sanitary

land-fill tip in Torres Vedras,

The financial return on the project is insufficient as the
project is subject to social constraints, i.e. the costs to be
recovered from the beneficiaries have to be kept within
set limits. On the other hand, the economic and social
benefits gained from reducing the cost burden on the
environment and public health and recovering and
recycling the natural resources of the region are high.
