National Environmental Action Plan

• was adopted at the governmental level in 1999 and a Resolution on National Environmental Action Plan in 2006

• the NEAP set out the goals, guidelines and strategy for environmental protection and the use of natural resources

• the main goals are to prevent further chemical and physical contamination and to perform remedial actions where necessary and feasible,

• detailed action plan for the next period (2005-2012) is established including: preparation of legislation concerning the soil immission

monitoring on State level (National monitoring programme);

adoption the Codes of good agriculture practice according the Nitrate directive;

proceeding of the assessment of soil pollution (quality); establishing soil information system on State level; prevention measures including education and training.

2006Data availability

• data is collected at the Environmental Agency of the Republic of Slovenia,

• database on soil is under development (Oracle, SDE, GIS),

• reports are available on the Internet, other data on request,

• reporting to EEA – not obligatory, Slovenia does not report, since the requested data is reffering to contaminated sites

Future actionsExpectations and suggestions are:

At the EU level soil protection legislation is poorly developed in comparison to that relating to other media, such as air and water. It should be treated individually and receiving the same attention as air and water.

Harmonised soil monitoring system needs to be established in order to record the state of soil pollution at national and EU level. (Legislation of EU, is in process, but not yet harmonized on national level of all member states. (soil monitoring working group report, Van-Camp et al, 2004)).

• The following should be done:

comparison of so far existing proposal for Slovenia (ROTS, 2000) which should be harmonized regarding the EU guideline (overview of soil , harmonization of reference methods for parameters, equipment and holders of activity),

to compile and implement Rules on the imission monitoring of soil,

elaboration of framework programme of sampling regarding ReNEAP objectives,

monitoring establishment and defining operative method and form of reporting for state and EU purposes,

soil information system and its inclusion in others (GIS) information systems,

proposal of remediation measures for most endangered areas,

survey of remediation actions.
