Albania - Integrated Water Ecosystem Management Project : environmental assessment (Vol. 1 of 2) : Environmental impact assessment

This environmental assessment for the Albania Integrated Water Ecosystem Management Project outlines expected negative environmental impacts and proposed mitigations. To ensure maintenance of water quality, levels, and water flows, as well as ecological balance, specific indices will be monitored periodically. Also to reduce the risk of water contamination, protect the constructed treatment wetlands (CTW) by a flood protection dyke; remove topsoil before construction and substitute impervious clay liners to protect groundwater; and follow procedures for sludge removal and disposal. To protect biodiversity, habitats, and rare species, prepare a comprehensive monitoring program and set guidelines for contractors.
