Construction phase Sector Impacts Magnitude Duration Water Quality Unauthorized dumping of wastewater. Handling chemical materials surface/ground water pollution. Short-term Regional moderate Air Quality Dust generated from asphalt removals, earth excavation, loading, hauling, and unloading, Dust generated by the movement of vehicles and heavy machinery on unpaved access and haul roads, Exhaust discharged from vehicles and equipment. Dust emission associated with site conditions (soil, weather, or seasons) Dust generated by the vehicles delivering granular and/or fine materials to the sites Local (city), moderate Noise Significant increase in is expected during works, due to various construction and transport activities. Short-term high Soil Quality Rainfall runoff from the construction sites may pollute the soil in the parks (Alunelu, and near Bucuriei str. (see image 7-10 from annex.) whereby the mainline heating pipe will be rehabilitated. Welding or cutting will get splinters of iron that will impact on the ground. The same soil pollution can be from oil spills from transport equipment and machinery used in the work that contain oils. particles of mineral wool and polyurethane can remain on the ground. Short-term Local, moderate Ecosystem Air pollution caused by emissions from vehicle and machinery might affect the vegetation along the transportation road and around the site. These impacts are short-term and are considered as on the eco-environment. Short-term minor Solid Wastes The wastes generated from the construction are old pipes, abandoned construction materials, scattered sands/stones, concretes and domestic wastes. Emissions from equipment / machinery for welding, gas metal cutting, drilling; Short-term Local, moderate
pollution can be from oil spills from transport equipment and machinery used in the work that contain oils. Small particles of mineral wool and polyurethane can remain on the ground.

Short-term Local, moderate Public and Safety Due to fact that the all the operations activities will be in Chisinau urban area a high risk of accidents and injures for public may occur. Due to small works inside the buildings risk of explosions, pollution and inhalation of gases is high especially during welding works. Short-term Local, high Environmental Management Plan The Environmental Management Plan (EMP contains: (a) mitigation measure to address potential adverse environmental and social impacts Component 1; (b) civil works supervision methods and monitoring actions; and (c) implementing arrangements.

2. Report on Consultation on the draft EA&EMP with interested parties Date: November 22, 2013 Venue: Chisinau Location/ venue Objective Invitees Participants Summary, conclusions and comments Chisinau, Temocom conference hall To describe the project, including EA & EMP and receive feedback from participants. There were not sent personal invitations. The invitation to participate in Consultation was sent by post and electronically to the following institutions: Ministry of Environment National environmental NGOs Chisinau Mayoralty Interested agencies Veaceslav Vladicescu Garstea Elena Vladicescu Valeriu Holban Mariana Petreanu Eleonora Solomon I.N Gherncia Dumitru Aparatu Popa Marin Crutoi Olga Sarateanu V.D. Doncenco Vitalie Rata Vladimir Garaba Olga Pruteanu Natalia Lipca Vasile Leu During the meeting, were made presentations on: project activities and EMP. The attendees actively participated in discussions which were mainly focused on the project activities, environmental possible impacts and associated mitigation measures. Other discussions were regarding environmental monitoring activities. Also the following specific questions were answered: If vegetation period of trees will be taken in consideration before cutting. If mini equipment’s will be used in order to prevent damages of trees and green areas. If network loss after rehabilitation was calculated.
