1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Beypazarı Municipality (Municipality) aims to realize the Beypazarı Wastewater Treatment

Plant Project for the treatment of domestic and industrial wastewater generated within the

borders of the district.

The WWTP planned to be constructed in the scope of the Project has been designed in

two stages. Target years of these two stages are 2021 and 2041. When domestic and

industrial wastewater flow is considered, equivalent population values in these years for

the designed WWTP are 78,232 and 125,171, respectively. Also, predicted flow values for

these years are 180.59 L/sec and 328.31 L/sec respectively.

A Sewage Network Project Preliminary Survey Study had been conducted by Beypazarı

Municipality in 21.07.2006. According to that study, it is planned to build new collector

lines to existing sewage system, in order to get wastewater to treatment plant. There will

be 3 pump stations with the aforementioned collector line. Treatment Plant’s Final Project

Design has been approved on September 2007 whereas Collector Lines’ Final Project has

been approved on November 11, 2011.

Project will be financed with Municipality’s own resources and the credit to be supplied in

the scope of “Municipal Services Additional Financing Project” that is undertaken in the

context of the credit agreement signed between the World Bank (WB) and the

Bank of Provinces (BoP).

According to Operational Policies (OP) 4.01, projects are considered in two categories

with respect to the magnitude of their environmental impacts. Projects with possible

severe impacts are considered in Category A whereas projects with low impacts are

considered in Category B. According to the document called “Environmental Framework”,

produced in the context of Municipality Services Project of BoP, WWTP projects are listed

in Category A. Therefore, Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report in accordance

with the format given in Annex B to OP 4.01 needs to be prepared for these projects.

Turkish Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Regulation was revised in July 17, 2008.

According Annex I of new EIA regulation which presents a list of the project that requires

the preparation of an EIA Report, the wastewater treatment plants having a capacity more

than 30,000 m3/day requires an EIA Report. Therefore, under national EIA Regulation the

Project does not require an environmental assessment.

This EIA Report, prepared for the proposed Project, defines the area where the Project

Site is located and environmental and socio-economic baseline data is provided for this

area. It provides assessment of likely environmental impacts that may be the result of

Project activities as well as mitigation measures to be taken so as to minimize these

impacts. These mitigation measures and the monitoring program, prepared for the

assessment of the environmental performance of the Project, are presented in the


2/62

Environmental Management Plan. A summary of the mitigation measures and monitoring

plan is given in the following paragraphs.

Vegetative soil of the excavated material stripped from the site will be separately stored in

order to be used in landscaping works at the final stage of the construction.

According to site ecological studies and literature survey carried out for the Project Site

and its vicinity, there are no endangered flora and fauna species in the vicinity of the

Project Site.

As a result of quantitative assessment of dust and noise to be generated during

construction and operational phases, it has been determined that there will be no adverse

impacts of dust and noise on the people living in the nearest settlement, i.e. a house

near the site. Nevertheless, measures will be taken in order to reduce dust emissions.

These measures include careful handling of excavation material and watering of roads in

dry and windy weather conditions. Also there will be a limitation on truck speed (i.e. 30

km/h of maximum speed) on unpaved roads. During construction phase there will be

monthly dust and noise measurements at the nearest house in order to monitor the actual

impacts of the project activities. Monitoring of noise will continue in the operational phase

according to complaints from the public in the nearest house. In addition to this, dust and

odor will be monitored by qualitative assessment which will be conducted through

interviewing local people.

As per the general waste management procedures to be followed during construction and

operational phases of the project, domestic solid wastes will be disposed of in the current

dump site until the new landfill, which is planned to be constructed by the union of

municipalities, becomes operational. Treatment sludge, during the operational phase of

the Project, will be sent to Tatlar Wastewater Treatment Plant of Ankara Metropolitan

Municipality located in Sincan. In construction phase, domestic wastewater will be treated

in the package treatment plant, and discharged to Inozu Creek after necessary discharge

permit will be obtained from the Ankara Provincial Directorate of Environment and

Urbanization (PDoEU) whereas in operational phase, domestic wastewater will be treated

at the WWTP and then discharged into Inozu Creek. In operational phase, discharged

wastewater quality will be monitored according to frequencies set in the Notification on

Sampling and Analysis Methods of the Water Pollution Control Regulation.

Inozu Creek joins Kirmir Creek in the south which finally discharges into the reservoir of

Sariyar Dam. Therefore, Inozu Creek is considered to be one of the branches for Sariyar

Dam.

Hazardous waste to be generated in both phases such as waste oil, empty paint boxes

and used fluorescent lamps will be temporarily kept in storage areas constructed with


3/62

certain protection measures before they are given to firms licensed by the Ministry of

Environment and Forestry (MoEF)1 for collection of hazardous waste.

There will be barriers and warning signs around the construction site in order to prevent

entry of local people into the site. There will be also warning signs on the highway side in

order to warn drivers about trucks entering or leaving the site.

In addition, there are no known sites or assets which would be affected by the Project, as

for the protection of cultural assets, construction works will be stopped immediately in

case of a coincidental finding in the Project Site. The relevant museum directorate will be

subsequently notified. Construction activities will continue according to provisions of the

museum directorate.

It should also be noted that Sariyar Dam Reservoir is located at the downstream of

Beypazari District, and therefore, it is subject to a serious pollution due to discharge of

untreated wastewater from the district. Sariyar Reservoir is a wetland but does not have

protection status such as environmental protection area, Ramsar site, etc. However,

wetlands in Turkey are considered within provisions of “Regulation on the Conservation of

Wetlands” which is restricting some developments in the vicinity of the area such as

industrial facilities, etc.

04, 2011 and numbered 27984. The duties of T.C. Ministry of Environment and Forestry have been transferred to T.C.

Ministry of Environment and Urbanization.

3 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

3.1 Objectives of the Project

Municipality aims to realize Beypazarı WWTP Project for treatment of domestic

wastewater in district center as well as industrial wastewater generated by industrial

establishments within the borders of the district.

3.2 In the scope of the project, besides WWTP, there will be new collector lines and pump

stations for these collector pipes. Current Situation

The domestic and industrial wastewater generated in Beypazarı District is collected by the

sewerage system and discharged to Inozu River. Sewerage system has 4 existing

discharge point. One of these is 500m above WWTP Project area, has Ø400 mm length in

diameter and making its discharge to Karapınar Creek. Wastewater that coming from

Oğuzkent district, which is in east part of Beypazarı, discharges with a Ø300 mm line to

Azmak Creek. The wastewater that coming from east part of Beypazarı where is in

northern part of Oğuzkent, connected to Ø200 mm line with Akyazı pumping station and

this line is connected to Ø400mm collector line. Another discharge point is at Bağırsak

Creek. This line has Ø300 mm in diameter and collects wastewater of Boztepe district.

Last and fourth existing discharge point is at Beykent Creek. With a Ø300 mm collector

line, Aşağıbaşağaç district’s wastewater discharging to that point. In Beypazarı, the

existing industrial activities are: agricultural production trades, fodder factory, farm

business (on milk), flour factory and carpenters.

Another project is undertaken by the Municipality to rehabilitate and extend the sewerage

network in the district center. This project is also financed with Municipality’s own

resources and by the support of Ankara Metropolitan Municipality. “Rehabilitation and

extension of the sewerage network” Project has been completed which is supported by

Ankara Metropolitan Municipality. Therefore, this project is ready for the connection to the

collector lines to be constructed with the WWTP. In this context, construction of sewage

collection line and wastewater treatment plant will be started simultaneously. In the scope

of this sewerage rehabilitation and extension project, a pipeline is planned to connect the

sewerage system to the WWTP. There is no risk that the WWTP is not receiving the

wastewater after its completion.

3.3 Importance of the Project

The Project aims to eliminate or minimize the adverse environmental impacts caused by

the discharge of wastewater to the receiving environment without treatment. These

environmental impacts are listed below,

Pollution in Inozu Creek and other surface water resources which Inozu River

joins;

The soil pollution due to irrigation with polluted surface water;


7/62

Groundwater pollution due to transportation of surface water pollutants and

subsequently worsening of public health;

Deterioration of the ecological system and biodiversity in polluted surface water

resources.

3.4 Characteristics of the Project

3.4.1 Amount of Wastewater to be used for the Design of the WWTP

The calculated flow for the design of the WWTP consists of three components; (i)

domestic, (ii) industrial and (iii) infiltration. Detailed information about the calculation of the

flow is given below.

i. Calculation of Domestic Flow:

Together with the population of Beypazarı, (i) number of the students in educational

institutions and (ii) the effects of the touristic facilities are also considered in domestic flow

calculations.

For the first stage of the WWTP, population of 2021 is 64,100 and for the second stage of

the WWTP, population of 2041 is 105,100. Per capita water flow is taken as 120 L/cap-

day for the first stage and 135 L/cap-day for the second stage. For the calculation of

domestic flow, it is assumed that 80 percent of the consumed water turns into wastewater.

According to this assumption, calculated flow values are 6153.6 m3/day and 11,340

m3/day for the years 2021 and 2041, respectively [1].

Wastewater Flow from Educational Institutions

There are two vocational schools with a total number of 500 students in Beypazarı.

Growth rate for the number of students is accepted as 1% per year. So there will be 580

and 1008 students in 2021 and 2041, respectively. Also, a dormitory with a capacity of

300 students is planned to be built. Flow generated in the dormitory included in flow

calculations for 2nd Stage. Hence, wastewater flow for the first stage will be 55.68 m3/day,

and it will be 108.86 m3/day for the second stage [1].


9/62

Wastewater Flow from Touristic Facilities

Wastewater flow from (i) touristic facilities, (ii) one-day tourists and (iii) thermal facility

have been considered in calculating the total wastewater flow due to touristic activities.

There are approximately 400 beds in the touristic facilities in Beypazari. In final design

studies it is assumed that population (the number of beds) in these facilities will grow at a

growth coefficient of 3.00 until 2021, and population will stay the same after 2021. Unlike

other domestic wastewater flow calculations, wastewater consumption in touristic facilities

is taken as 175 L/cap-day.

This value has been selected from the range of 100-250 L/cap-day that was determined

by the BoP. Hence, number of beds in 2021 will be 642 while wastewater flow will be 89.9

m3/day [1].

According to figures of the year 2005, the number of one-day tourists is 2564. The bed

capacity of the touristic facilities, 400, was subtracted from this figure. Hence, increasing

at the rate of 3.00, the number of tourists, 2164, is expected to reach 3473 in 2021.

Number of tourists is assumed to stay the same for the coming years. It is assumed that

water consumed by tourists is 20 L/cap-day, and wastewater generation is calculated as

55.63 m3/day [1].

A thermal hotel with a capacity of 4000 is planned to be erected. It is assumed that

number of beds filled in the year 2021 and 2041 is 2000 and 4000, respectively.

Wastewater flow rate calculated for the two stages is 320 m3/day and 640 m3/day,

respectively [1].

Total domestic wastewater flow for the two stages is calculated as 6674.78 m3/day and

12,234.36 m3/day, respectively [1].

ii. Calculation of Industrial Wastewater Flow

There are various industrial plants in Beypazarı. These are mainly comprised of milk and

dairy products, mineral water and ready-mixed concrete. There are no industrial plants

producing highly polluted wastewater. Wastewater flows caused by industrial plants

shown in Table 3-2.

Although there has been also carpet business in addition to these industrial facilities in the

Beypazarı District carpet business has not been mentioned in the Table 3-2. These

facilities have been ignored in the flow rate calculations, since carpets have been weaved

at the handloom by carper weavers. Hence, it has been estimated that carpet business

has not produce any industrial wastewater.

iii. Infiltration Flow

Infiltration flow is assumed 0.02 L/sec-ha in the Final Design Report. Project site is

calculated as 750 ha for the first stage in 2021 and 1700 ha for the second stage in 2014.

Infiltration flow calculations are given in Table 3-3 for each stage of the Project.

Industrial Pollution Load

Calculated industrial pollution load in the Final Design Report has two components which

are slaughterhouse and industrial plants except for slaughterhouse. Considering BOD5

pollution load for industrial plants, equivalent population is calculated. BOD5 pollution load

is taken as 32 gr/cap-day and 37 gr/cap-day for both stages, respectively, in the

calculation of equivalent population. According to this data, calculated pollution loads for

industrial plants and equivalent populations are shown in Table 3-7.

Industrial Facilities in the Beypazarı District show similar characteristics with respect to

their pollution load. Only the pollution load of slaughterhouse is indicated different

properties when it is compared to those of other industrial facilities. Hence, facilities

showing almost same pollution load characteristics are considered as a same group of

wastewater source. On the other hand, slaughterhouse is thought as another wastewater

source.

3.4.3 Wastewater Flow Measurement and Analysis Results

Flow values are calculated according to the data obtained from population projections and

surveys conducted in industries. These calculated flow values are compared to flow

values measured between February 17-19, 2007 in order to check validity of the

assumptions made in flow calculations [1].

According to the flow measurement results, three day average flow was calculated as

9,360 m3/day. This value is higher than calculated flow value. It is expected that this can

be due to infiltration to the sewerage network. Present sewerage system will be

rehabilitated in the scope of the new sewerage network project which will be realized by

the Municipality. This will decrease the infiltration flow. Considering this, it has been

decided that calculated flow values are more suitable to be used in the design of WWTP

[1].

In addition to this, samples taken from discharge point to Inozu Creek have been

analyzed. Sample analysis results are given in Table 3-10 and Table 3-11.

According to the WWTP Project Final Design Report, the main reason for the difference

between two analysis results is that industry was active and small number of tourists was

visiting Beypazari on 20.02.2007 [1].

3.4.4 Population Projections

Population projection for designing the WWTP has been carried out using data obtained

from the results of population census conducted between 1940 and 2000. This data is

shown in Table 3-12.

* Population census conducted in 1997 includes erroneous results, hence it is not considered in the calculations.



14/62

By using this population data, population projection was made for the service period of the

project ending in 2041. Population projection has been made using different methods

including (i) population growth coefficient method, (ii) BoP method, (iii) arithmetic growth

method, (iv) geometric growth method and (v) compound interest method. In the

population projection carried out using BoP method, growth coefficients (GC) have been

calculated for different periods between 1940 and 2000. These periods have been

selected in a way that each one of them ends in 2000, and starts with a year in which a

population census was conducted (e.g. between 1990 and 2000, 1985 and 2000, etc.). A

GC has been calculated for each of these periods, and three different projections have

been made using minimum (2.76), average (3.36) and maximum (3.64) values of GC. In

addition to these, a population projection based on the population growth rate in Turkey

has been made, and average of the results of different projections has been calculated

[1]. Results of population projections are given in Table 3-13.

While population growth rate values calculated for the period between 1940 and 2000

varies between 0.34 and 5.41% (see Table 3-12), GC calculated for BoP method, i.e.

3.36, is larger than 3.00. GC calculated for the period between 1980 and 2000 fell from

3.60 to 2.76. As can be seen here, number of inhabitants of Beypazari is decreasing

although the district is visited by many tourists [1]. Considering this, GC has been decided

to be taken as a smaller value. GC was taken as 3.00 until 2021, and as 2.50 afterwards.

Population estimates for the period between 2000 and 2041 which have been used for the

design of the WWTP are presented in Table 3-14.

3.4.5 Discharge Parameters

In accordance with Urban Wastewater Treatment Regulation3 (OG dated 08.01.2006 and

numbered 26047), WWTP is required be designed and constructed to achieve secondary

treatment. Phosphorous and nitrogen treatment is required to be accomplished by

advanced treatment if there is an eutrophication risk in the receiving environment.

There is also another notification called Urban Wastewater Treatment Regulation of

Sensitive and Less Sensitive Areas (OG dated 27.06.2009 and numbered 27271). In this

notification, sensitive and less sensitive regions of Turkey have been determined and

discharge criteria of these areas have been given. However, İnözü Creek is not one of

these regions. Hence, in this report, calculations have been done according to the Urban

Wastewater Treatment Regulation.

Currently, untreated wastewater is discharged into Inozu Creek. Constructing WWTP is a

protective measure imposing removal of nitrogen and phosphorus which helps to prevent

possible eutrophication. Treated wastewater in Beypazarı WWTP shall not exceed the

limit values stipulated in the related regulations. This limit values are shown in Table 3-15.

When the discharge values of Urban Wastewater Treatment Regulation are compared

with the limit values of Pollution Prevention Amendment Handbook4, it is seen that Urban

Wastewater Treatment Regulation values are lower than the Pollution Prevention

Amendment Handbook. Therefore, these values show compliance with each other.

3.4.6 Technology

As mentioned before, Beypazarı WWTP has been designed to include two stages. Target

years of these two stages are 2021 and 2041, respectively [1].

Treated wastewater will be discharged to Inozu Creek. This creek discharges to the

reservoir of Sariyar Dam. According to State Hydraulic Works, usage purpose of Sariyar

Dam is to produce energy with a power of 160 MWe. Due to wastewater discharge, there

is a risk of eutrophication of this reservoir. Therefore, according to the regulation,

advanced treatment, which ensures removal of nitrogen and phosphorous, is necessary.

This has been taken into account in the design of WWTP. Main units of the WWTP are

given below.

Information regarding units of the treatment process is presented below.

Pretreatment Unit

Pretreatment unit includes coarse and fine screens and aerated grit and grease chamber.

Coarse Screen

Coarse screen has been designed to block branches, residue, animal carcasses,

packages, bottles etc. These materials will be kept at the coarse screen in order to

prevent them from damaging the pumps. Solid waste to be kept at the coarse screen will

be conveyed to a container via conveyor belt and then it ıs sent to Municipality’s current

solid waste dump.

Fine Screen

Fine screen functions to prevent such fine materials in the wastewater as stone, fabrics,

wood from being entering into downstream units. Fine screen has been designed as

mechanically-raked, and materials kept at the screen will be conveyed to a container.

Aerated Grit and Grease Chamber

In this unit, such heavy inorganic materials as grit and gravels will be settled while oil and

grease within wastewater will be removed. This unit has been designed to allow inorganic

materials to settle down whereas organic materials, which will be removed in biological

treatment, to float. In order to achieve this, horizontal velocity at the maximum flow rate is

determined to be lower than 0.2 m/s. Grease removing equipment to be installed in the

sides of this unit will remove oil and grease in wastewater. Transfer of wastewater from

grit chamber to grease chamber will be through lamella separator. Grit removed in the grit

chamber will be pumped to grit separators whereas grease removed in the grease

chamber will be pumped to grease pits and send to the licensed companies.

Biological Treatment Units


19/62

As mentioned in the previous sections, WWTP has been designed to ensure removal of

phosphorus and nitrogen. Biological treatment unit is composed of two types of tanks.

One of these is anaerobic tank while the other one is “Caroussel” type aeration tank,

which includes anoxic and aerobic zones together. Due to the nature of the treatment

process, complete mixing of the wastewater flowing into aeration tanks should be

provided with mixers whereas oxygen will be supplied by blowers.

Phosphorus Removal

In order to remove phosphorus compounds in the wastewater an anaerobic medium

(anaerobic tank) will be formed at the beginning of the biological treatment unit. In the

anaerobic tank, dissolved carbonaceous compounds (BOD) will be mixed with recycled

sludge in order to let polyphosphate-containing microorganisms hydrolyze polyphosphate,

and uptake carbonaceous compounds into its body. In this process, phosphate is

hydrolyzed, and converted into inorganic phosphate. This increases the concentration of

dissolved phosphate in wastewater. In the aerobic section of the aeration tank,

microorganisms oxidize the carbonaceous compounds that they have absorbed, and

remove the phosphorus in wastewater.

Nitrogen Removal

In addition to biochemical degradation of carbonaceous compounds, organic nitrogen

compounds are oxidized to nitrite and nitrate, respectively, in the aerobic section of the

aeration tank. Denitrification process takes place in the anoxic section. In the

denitrification section, biochemical degradation of carbonaceous compounds is not at high

level. Therefore, outlet of the nitrification section will be connected to the inlet of the

anoxic section.

Sludge with high phosphorus content will be produced while BOD, phosphorus and

nitrogen is removed.

Secondary Sedimentation Tanks

Wastewater to be treated in aeration tanks will flow into secondary sedimentation tanks.

Supernatant in secondary sedimentation tanks will be discharged into the receiving

environment. In order to increase the efficiency of the treatment process, some part of the

settled sludge will be returned to the inlet of the biological treatment via sludge recycle

line. Secondary sedimentation tanks will be constructed in circular shape. Wastewater

flowing into sedimentation tanks will be distributed evenly via pipes.

Sludge Dewatering

Solid matter content in the sludge at the outlet of the sludge-dewatering (decanter)will be

between 18 and 22%. Cationic polyelectrolyte will be dosed into sludge as a sludge

conditioner.


20/62

3.5 Utilization of Natural Resources (Utilization of Land and Water Resources and Type of

Energy Utilized etc.)

Information about the utilization of the natural resources is given below.

3.5.1 Utilization of Water Resources

In construction phase of the Project, there will be water utilization to meet employees’

needs and construction purposes (concrete preparation etc.).

There will be 70 employees in construction phase. Assuming that water consumption will

be 150 L/cap-day, daily water consumption will be 10.5 m3 (70 people x 150 L/cap-day).

Water consumption for construction activities is expected to be 10 m3/day. Hence, total

water consumption in the Project will be 20.5 m3/day in the construction phase.

Similarly in the operational phase of the Project, there will be water consumption to meet

employees’ needs.

There will be 15 employees in operational phase of the Project and water consumption will

be 150 L/cap-day. Therefore, daily water consumption will be 2.25 m3 (15 people x 150

L/cap-day).

Water demand in the constructional and operational phase of the Project will be supplied

from the water network of the city.

3.5.2 Utilization of Energy

The required electric energy in the construction and operational phase of the Project will

be supplied from the current electricity network 400 meter far away from the Project Site

[1].

4 PROJECT SITE

Designed Beypazarı WWTP is planned to be constructed in Hacıkara Mahallesi,

Karapınar Mevkii. This area is located 4 km south of the Beypazarı county town. The map

in the Figure 4-1 shows the Project site.

4.1 Geological Characteristic

4.1.1 General Geology

In Beypazari, metamorphic rocks forming the Middle Sakarya Massif have been

intersected by shallow batholite mass in low temperature and in different forms varying

from granite and diorite. The batholite mass, also called as the Beypazari granite, is

outcropped in the south of Kirmir Creek. Although it is covered with Eocene and Miocene-

aged formations, it is possibly connected to the granite outcropped in Sivrihisar. Batholite

mass has a homogenous structure. Beypazari granite is in contact with side rocks

composed of phyllite, schist and marble. Hornfels with thickness varying between 3 and

10 m, along the contact zone are observed. In the side zones of the batholite mass,

enclaves, which have intruded into this mass, are observed. Iron formations with silis are

observed where this mass intercepts metamorphics with high iron content. During settling

of granite, joint sets and cracks have developed while the mass was cooling down. In later

phases, aplite and pegmatite dykes with thickness varying between 10 cm and 6 m and

length varying with 10 m and 350 m in NE-SW and NW-SE directions have formed.

Derivatives of batholite mass composed of granite and granodiorite often contains

monzodiorite and diorite enclaves, which have formed earlier due to magmatic

decomposition. The granite is mostly composed of quartz, plagioclase, orthoclase, and it

includes amphibole, biolite, chlorite, zircon, sfen, apatite and opaque minerals in little

amounts. In diorite, density of felsic minerals decreases whereas that of mafic minerals

increases. Plagioclase and orthoclase are often observed to have converted into sericite

while they are observed in chlorite form in biotites. Holocrystalline hypidiomorphic rocks

are observed to be dominant within the mass while myrmekitic and allotriomorphic texture

is also observed [2].

4.1.2 Seismicity and Tectonic Characteristics

Project Site lies within the 3rd Degree Earthquake Zone according to the Earthquake Map

prepared by the Directorate of Disaster and Emergency Management of the Prime

Ministry, and hence, possibility of occurrence of an earthquake with high magnitude is low.

The earthquake map of Ankara where the project site is located is given in Figure 4-3

whereas Active Fault Map of Turkey is given in Figure 4-4. As can be seen from the

Earthquake Map of Ankara, there are no important fault lines in the area. The longest fault

line in the region is Nallihan-Nuhhoca fault located to the north of the district [3].

compliance with the provisions of the “Regulation on Structures to be Constructed in

Disaster Areas”.

4.2 Climatic Characteristics

Beypazari District is located in Upper Sakarya Basin, lying in the northwest of Middle

Anatolia. Middle Anatolian Steppe Climate is observed in the district. About half of the

annual precipitation falls in the winter while summers are mostly dry. Precipitation regime

is similar to Mediterranean Climate but annual amount of precipitation is about half of the

amount of precipitation observed in Mediterranean Climate [URL-1].

Beypazari Meteorological Station is the nearest meteorological station at which

observations reflect the meteorological characteristics of the project site the best.

Therefore, climatic characteristics of the Project Site and its vicinity are given by referring

to this long-term data recorded between 1975 and 2005.

According to the meteorological data, average annual maximum temperature recorded

was +43.0 °C (30 July 2000) and the minimum temperature recorded was -17.7 °C (22

February 1985). Average annual temperature of Beypazari is +13.0 °C. January is the

coldest month with an average temperature of -1.1 °C and July is the hottest month with

+24.8 °C.

In this region, the average annual precipitation was recorded as 396.2 mm and the most

precipitation is observed in winter. Average number of days with snow is 17.4.

According to the long-term meteorology data, average annual wind speed is 1.6 m/s.

West-southwest is the dominant wind direction.

4.3 Water Resources

4.3.1 Surface Water Resources

The most important surface water source in Beypazari is Inozu Creek. It rises near

Usakgol Village and joins Kirmir Creek in the south. Currently, wastewater generated in

Beypazari District is being discharged to Inozu Creek [URL-1].

Catagan Creek flows in the east of the district while Zaviye and Findicak creeks flow in the

west, and Alan Creek flow in the north near Basoren Village. Flow regimes of these

creeks are not regular. These rivers deposit the alluvium, which they carry from the

upstream, to their beds. Pebble, sandstone, claystone, slope debris and bank gravel is

observed along Inozu Creek.

Kirmir Creek rises in Işık Mountains, and it has many tributaries. All the rivers except for

Karakuyu Creek are medium salty and low in sodium. Karakuyu Creek is very salty with a

sulfate concentration around 90% [URL-1].

4.3.2 Groundwater Resources

The most important groundwater resource in this region is Karakoca Mineral Water

Resource. It discharges from rhyolites and its flow rate is 2 L/h originating from magmatic

rocks, this water is colorless, odorless, clear, free of sediment, containing gas,

magnesium and sulfate [URL-1].

Groundwater level is not very deep. It is used for irrigation of nearby agricultural lands.

Groundwater reserve is 1.2x106 m3/year in the region. However, in alluvial areas, ground

water can be drawn easily [URL-1].

In the general case, groundwater replenishment decreases when flow rate of water

stream is high, especially high precipitation case such as snow formation. On the other

hand, it increases when flow rate in the stream decreases, and snow melts.

There are a number of 11 hot springs discharged from the fault zone located 20 km to the

southeast of the district. These sources are located in granites outcropped in the district.

Temperatures of these sources vary between 42.0 and 51.5 °C while their flow rates vary

between 0.1 and 2.6 L/sec [URL-1]. A thermal hotel that will utilize these sources is

planned to be established in the district.


26/62

4.4 Socio-Economic Characteristics

4.4.1 Population Size and Growth Rate

Address-Based Population Recording System (in Turkish: “Adrese Dayalı Nüfus Kayıt

Sistemi”, ADNKS) has been implemented by Turkish Statistical Institute (TURKSTAT)

since 2007. Population of the district center Beypazari is 35,080 according to 2009 figures

of ADNKS.

Population size and growth rate are among the main parameters used in the design of the

WWTP. Therefore, population projection covering the Project lifetime has been carried

out. Detailed information about population projection is given in Section 3.4.4.

Comparing the results of population projections carried out using different methods, BoP’s

population projection method has been decided to be used. Using this method, population

projection has been made by setting GC to 3.00 for the period between 2000 and 2021

and to 2.50 for the years after 2021. As a result of this projection, population of Beypazari

has been determined to be 64,100 and 105,000 for the two stages, respectively.

4.4.2 Education

According to information obtained from the official website of the Directorate of Education

in Beypazari, there are 18 primary schools, eight elementary schools, a vocational school

and a public education center in Beypazari [URL-2].

As mentioned in Section 3.4.1, there are two vocational schools in Beypazari in which

there are a total of 500 students.

4.4.3 Economical Characteristic

Agriculture, trade, animal husbandry, industry and handicrafts are important activities for

Beypazarı economy. Major agricultural products grown in Beypazari are carrot, lettuce,

tomato, onion and wheat. Carrot production in Beypazari accounts for 44% of Turkey’s

total production whereas lettuce production accounts for 20% of the total production in

Turkey. A part of 67% of the people in Beypazari carries out agricultural activities [URL-3].

Historical texture as well as various local foods and souvenirs produced in Beypazari

attract many tourists. This makes livelihood in the economic life in Beypazarı.

As also explained in Section 3.4.1, there are many industrial establishments in Beypazari

including a milk and dairy products plant and a slaughterhouse. In addition to these, there

are Industrial District of Carpenters and Small Industrial District. In the Small Industrial

District, mostly car maintenance and machine repair works are carried out.

Besides these, an industrial district is planned at a location 6 km away from the district

center.

4.5 Ecological Characteristic

In this section, information about species of flora and fauna present or likely to be present

in the Project Site and its vicinity is presented.

4.5.1 Flora

The proposed Project Site lies in a transition spot between Irano-Turanian and Europe-

Siberia Phytogeographic regions. Project Area, consisting of wastewater treatment plant,

collector lines, and pump stations, is under the effect of anthropogenic sources. In other

words, agricultural lands are highly present in the vicinity of Project Area. Therefore,

development of natural vegetation has mostly been suppressed. Land available for

survival of natural flora has decreased.

Field work carried out in June 2010 to determine flora and fauna structure in the Project

Site and the impact area have focused on not only the species observed in the Project

Site but also the species that are likely to be observed in the Project Site due to their

biotope characteristics. During the study, endemic species and habitats protected in the

context of international agreements including Bern, Ramsar, Biodiversity and CITES have

been taken into consideration.

Black pine and oak are observed in the region.

As a result of flora surveys, the vegetation types observed in the Project Site and its

vicinity are wayside vegetation and steppe.

4.5.2 Fauna

The fauna elements in the Project Site were determined according to field surveys,

literature data and the information obtained from local people. The major types of fauna

are the taxa which are widespread in cultivated areas and near settlement areas.

Amphibians

Marsh frog (Rana ridibunda) and Bufo viridis living in aquatic and semi-aquatic

environments can reproduce in suitable habitats in the Project Site and its vicinity. These

species are protected under Bern Convention. Mentioned species are under the LC “Least

Concern” statue in IUCN Redlist. Possible impact of the construction on amphibians and

reptiles is the obstruction of their migration path. Mitigation measures during the

construction and operation period of the Project are provided in Section 5.7

Reptiles

Of the eight reptile species that are present or likely to be found in the Project Site and its

vicinity are turtle, lizard (three different species) and snake (four different species). And

their threat status is provided in the table below.

Birds

Project Site and its vicinity provide suitable habitats for singing birds (Passeriformes). Bird

species in the Project Site and its vicinity are under the LC “Least Concern” statue in

IUCN Redlist and are not endangered.

Mammals

Diversity and population density of mammal species are low in the Project Site and its

vicinity since these areas have been affected by anthropogenic factors.

Species that might be observed in the Project Site and its vicinity are Porcupine

(Erinaceus concolor), Spermophilus xanthoprymnus, Weasel (Mustela nivalis), Rabbit

(Lepus europaeus), Fox (Vulpes vulpes), Gray wolf (Canis lupus). Species except

Spermophilus xanthoprymnus (Asia Minor Ground Squirrel) are under the LC “Least

Concern” statue in IUCN Redlist and are not endangered.

Flora and Fauna Species protected under National Legislation and

International Agreements


29/62

Middle Anatolia is one of the sensitive areas in Turkey in terms of endemic plants.

However, no endemic species were observed during field surveys since there are few

natural habitats, and anthropogenic vegetation is dominant in the Project Site and its

vicinity. Besides, there are no plant species protected in accordance with CITES and Bern

Convention.

All amphibians and reptiles living in Project Site are protected in accordance with the Bern

Convention.

All the bird species excluding Garrullus glandarius (Jay), Pica pica (Magpie), Corvus

monedula (Jackdaw), Corvus frugilegus (Rook), Corvus corone (Hooded Crow), Corvus

corax (Raven) and Passer domesticus (House Sparrow) are protected under Bern

Convention. Table 4-1 presents the list of species of amphibians, reptiles, birds and

mammals that are likely to be observed in Project Site and in its vicinity, and protected in

accordance with the Bern Convention. Protection status of species according to

determined according to the Decisions of Central Hunting Commission. These decisions

are made by public institutions authorized for protection of nature, and revised annually.

In addition, all species listed above will have abandoned the Project Site when the

construction activities start and come back when the period is ended. Since the

construction impacts are temporary, the impacts will be for a limited time.

4.6 Protected Areas

An investigation has been made to see whether there are any protected areas (e.g.

national parks, wetlands of international importance and wild life protection areas) in the

vicinity of the Project Site by using the Geographical Information System (GIS) that can be

accessed from the official website of the Ministry of Forestry and Water Affairs

(http://korunanalanlar.ormansu.gov.tr/). A snapshot of the GIS screen showing the Project

Site is given below.

4.7 Cultural and Archaeological Assets

Beypazari District of Ankara Province has an important place in the history. It dates back

to Hittite and Phrygia. It is understood from ancient materials and maps that Beypazari is

formerly called as Lagani and later Anastasiopolis, and it is a center of Episcopacy

[URL-4]. Archaeological assets dating back to early historic periods are observed through

literature research. Some of these are Rock Cemeteries and Rock Churchs (First Degree

Archaeological Site), Byzantine Ruins and Cemetery (First Degree Archaeological Site)

are First Degree Natural Sites [4]. The Beypazari Houses located in the district center are

important cultural and natural assets dating back to recent periods. Located on steep

slopes, the Beypazari Houses have high visual value with characteristic tissue and natural

landscape features. These houses, with an age around 100 years, also bear

characteristics of Ottoman and traditional Turkish houses. These are generally two or

three storey buildings having a penthouse with oriel window [4]. Figure 4-6 shows an

example of a Beypazari House.

Reference: http://www.tmresimler.com/img3088.htm

Figure 4-6 Beypazari Houses

As a result of examination of the Project Site and its vicinity, no archaeological assets,

items or evidence have been observed. In case of a coincidental finding in the Project

Site, construction works will be stopped immediately, and the relevant museum directorate

will be notified in compliance with the pertinent legislation5. In this case, construction

activities will continue according to provisions of the museum directorate. If during the

construction period of the Project, any archeological items will be founded, the works of

5 Article 4 of the Law on Protection of Cultural and Natural Assets (OG dated July 23, 1983 and numbered 2863): Obligation

for Notification.


34/62

the Projects will be formed according to the related regulation which is Protection of

Cultural and Natural Entities (Law No: 2861 OG publish date: 23.07.1983).

5 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

In this section of the EIA Report, possible environmental impacts that will result from

activities to be carried out during construction and operational phase of the Project are

assessed. Main treatment plant, collector lines and pump stations will be built and

operated in project, therefore this section deals with the impacts and mitigation measures

of all of these activities. During the construction phase, main sources of these impacts are

solid and liquid wastes as well as noise and dust emissions. Magnitude of these impacts

on such receiving elements of the environment such as air, water and soil are explained

under respective subtitles, along with the mitigation measures that are required to be

taken in order to minimize these impacts.

5.1 Solid Wastes

5.1.1 Domestic Solid Wastes

Solid waste that may be generated during construction and operational phases comprises

the domestic solid waste from workers, packaging waste and excavation material from

construction works.

The number of employees to be working in the construction and operational phases of the

Main WWTP is 70 and 15, respectively. Solid waste generation is assumed to be 1.34

kg/cap-day, and the amount of domestic solid waste generated in the construction and

operational phases of the Main WWTP is calculated approximately 94 kg/day and 20

kg/day, respectively.

In construction phase of collector lines, 5 employee will be working. Solid waste

generation can be taken 0.67 kg/cap-day like aforementioned part of the project, main

treatment plant, so amount of solid waste generated in the construction phase of collector

lines will be 6.7 kg/cap-day. Collector lines will be full automated, so there is no need for

employee in the operational phase of the collector lines.

There will be built pump stations in scope of the project. 10 employee will be working in

constructional phase of pump stations. Amount of solid waste that will be generated is

13.4 kg/cap-day. There is no need for employee in operational phase.

Domestic solid waste generated in the construction and operational phases of the Project

will be transported to the Municipality’s solid waste dump site with the approval of

Municipality by Municipality’s trucks.


35/62

Waste packages of large piece of equipment as well as packaging waste (e.g. boxes and

bags containing workers’ foods) that may be generated by the workers will be transported

to packaging waste recovery facilities, licensed by the MoEU in compliance with the

Packaging Waste Control Regulation (OG dated 24.06.2007 and numbered 26562).

5.1.2 Wastes Generated at the WWTP in Operational Phase

On the operational phase of the Project, solid waste will be generated by coarse and fine

screens and aerated grit and grease chamber. Solid waste generated in these units will be

transported and disposed of together with domestic solid waste. Collected grease will be

in the form of foam which is handled as solid waste. Analysis will be done if the wasted

foam will be handled as hazardous or non-hazardous solid waste.

Besides such wastes, there will be also treatment sludge. Considering the characteristics

and contribution of the industrial wastewater flow, the treatment sludge is expected to be

non-hazardous.

Ankara Metropolitan Municipality’s Tatlar Wastewater Treatment Plant Sincan will be used

as the final sludge handling location. Produced sludge will be transported with suitable

containment of trucks by Ankara Water and Sewerage Administration (ASKI). Since the

daily produced sludge amount is calculated as 9.88 m3, one (1) truck will be used for the

transportation of sludge. At Tatlar Wastewater Treatment Plant, drying process will be

used to decrease the water content of sludge.

The landfill for disposal of treatment sludge will be handled in compliance with the

pertinent provisions of the Landfilling Regulation (OG dated 26.03.2010 and numbered

27533) regarding sealing layer, leachate collection system, landfill gas management and

water content of sludge etc. According to this Regulation water content of sludge shall be

less than 50%. Table 5-1, provided below, shows the sludge water content after

dewatering and drying processes.

Table 5-1. Technical Specifications of Sludge Handling Units

Unit’s Name Parameter Unit Value

Dewatering (Decanter) Sludge Water Content (Exit) % 18-22

5.1.3 Excavation Material

In the construction phase of the Project, excavation waste will be generated during site

preparation and excavation of foundations of structures. Excavation works will be done for

main treatment plant, collector lines and pump stations. Information about mitigation

measures that should be taken and explained below is for all these three compartments.

Vegetal top soil will be stripped before excavation works. Vegetal soil will be stored in an

appropriate part of the site with slope less than 5%, to be used in landscaping works.

Maximum height of piles will be 1.5 m. Top of the piles will be grassed. Vegetal soil will be

stored separately from other excavation earth, and it will be used in landscaping works.


36/62

Other excavation material will be disposed of in areas designated by the Municipality in

compliance with the Regulation on Control of Excavation Earth and Construction and

Demolition Waste (OG dated 18.03.2004 and dated 25406).

5.1.4 Special Types of Wastes

In this section, provisions about special types of solid waste, for which specific waste

management principals are stipulated in respective regulations.

Waste Batteries and Accumulators

Waste batteries and accumulators will be generated after used batteries and

accumulators of communication devices, electronic equipment and accumulators of

vehicles and construction machines are changed. These waste batteries and

accumulators will be collected and given to the institutions authorized for recycle and

disposal of these wastes in compliance with the Regulation on Control of Waste Batteries

and Accumulators (OG 31.08.2004 and dated 25569). In this regard, the Association of

Producers and Importers of Mobile Batteries (TAP) is the only authorized institution to

collect waste batteries. Sufficient number of special collection boxes for waste batteries

will be obtained from TAP, and located in appropriate locations in the facility. When boxes

are filled, batteries will be sent to TAP free of charge.

Medical Wastes

According to Article 91 of the Occupational Health and Safety Bylaw relating to measures

that shall be taken against accidents in workplaces, there shall be doctor and infirmary in

workplaces with 50 or more workers.

Since the number of workers working in the construction phase of WWTP will be 70, an

infirmary will be established in the Project Site. Considering the size of the Project and

characteristics of the works carried out during construction, it is expected that little amount

of medical waste will be generated in the infirmary. This medical waste will be transported

to the temporary storage site of a medical institute, and disposed in accordance with the

Regulation on Control of Medical Waste (OG dated 22.07.2005 and numbered 25883).

Since the number of workers to be employed during operation phase is less than 50, it is

not obligatory to establish infirmary and hiring a doctor. In case of accidents and injuries

during Project activities, health institutions in Beypazari district center will be used. Hence,

no medical waste will be generated in the Project Site.

Worn-Out Tyres

In case worn-out tyres of vehicles and construction machines are changed in the Project

Site, these tyres will be given to collectors licensed by the MoEU in compliance with the

Regulation on Control of Worn-out Tyres (OG dated 25.11.2006 and numbered 26357).


37/62

5.2 Liquid Wastes

According to Section 3.4.1, water demand of personnel in construction and operational

phases of the Project is taken as 135 L/cap-day. Assuming also that 80 percentage of the

water consumed will be converted into wastewater, the amount of wastewater generated

is calculated as 108 L/cap-day. Therefore, the amount of wastewater to be generated in

the construction and operation phases of the main WWTP is calculated as approximately

7.5 m3/day ve 1.6 m3/day, respectively. Amount of wastewater to be generated in

construction phase of collector lines and pump stations will be 0.54 m3/day and 1.08

m3/day respectively.

Domestic wastewater generated during the construction phase of the Project will be

treated in package treatment plant, and then discharged to the receiving water body,

Inozu Creek. Treated wastewater in construction phase will be discharged to Inozu Creek

satisfying also the standards given in Table 21.1 in the Water Pollution Control Regulation

(OG dated 31.12.2004 and numbered 25687) for domestic wastewater.

Wastewater generated during the operational phase of the WWTP will be treated in the

WWTP satisfying the pertinent criteria given in the Urban Wastewater Treatment

Regulation (see Section 3.4.5), and then discharged to Inozu Creek. According to the

Notification on Sampling and Analysis Methods of the Water Pollution Control Regulation

(OG dated 10.10.2009 and numbered 27372), samples will be taken from the discharged

wastewater once every 15 days during operation of the 1st Stage, and analyzed by a

laboratory accredited by Turkish Accreditation Agency (TURKAK), and authorized by the

MoEU. In the 2nd Stage, sampling and analysis frequency will be twice a week.

In addition to this internal monitoring requirement, water samples will be taken by the

Ankara PDoEU once every two months during the 1st Stage and monthly during the 2nd

Stage according to the same notification.

An Environmental Permit for wastewater discharge shall be obtained for the package

treatment plant to be used in the construction phase and for the WWTP in the operational

phase of the Project, in compliance with the Regulation on Permits and Licenses to be

Obtained According to the Environmental Law (OG dated 29.04.2009 and numbered

27214).

According to this Regulation, an Environmental Officer (“Çevre Görevlisi”) with a license

obtained in compliance with the Regulation on Environmental Officers and Consultancy

Firms (REOCF, OG dated 12.11.2010 and numbered 27757) shall be employed during

construction and operational phases. The Environmental Officer shall inspect the

treatment plants in order to ensure that activities related to the treatment plants are

carried out in compliance with the legislation put in force on the basis of the Environmental

Law. Alternatively, the CONTRACTOR or the Municipality can make a contract with a

Consultancy Firm having a license according to the REOCF. In this case, an

Environmental Officer will be assigned by the Consultancy Firm to the treatment plants.

5.3 Hazardous Wastes

Main types of hazardous waste to be generated in the construction and operational

phases of the Project are oil and air filters, which are changed during maintenance, of

construction and operation machinery (e.g. bulldozer, excavator etc.), waste fabrics used

in maintenance and empty paint and lubricant boxes. Besides these, there may also be

hazardous waste resulting from fluorescent lamps and wasted printer cartridges.

Hazardous waste to be generated within the Project Site during construction and

operation activities will be collected in temporary hazardous waste storage area, which is

surrounded by wire fences, bottom-sealed, and protected from precipitation, in compliance

with the Hazardous Waste Control Regulation (HWCR) (OG dated 14.03.2005 and

numbered 25755). In the context of Waste Management Plan (see Section 7.2.1), workers

will put hazardous waste material in the storage area. Hazardous waste shall not be

stored for more than 180 days. Stored hazardous waste shall be given to firms licensed by

MoEU for collection of hazardous waste. Hazardous waste collected from the Project Site

shall be transferred to licensed intermediate storage areas, and then to hazardous waste

landfills or incineration plants for final disposal.

5.3.1 Sludge

Daily sludge production from dewatering unit is calculated as 9.88 m3. Although the

treatment sludge is expected to be non-hazardous, it will be analyzed according to Annex-

11/A to HWCR, in which criteria for waste to be landfilled in solid waste landfills are given.

After the dewatering process, sludge will be transported to Tatlar Wastewater Treatment

Plant owned by Ankara Metropolitan Municipality located in Sincan.

Possible impacts of the inappropriate handling of the sludge are; odor problem, potential

health risk because of pathogens, toxicity arising from high load of heavy metals.

Mitigation measures to prevent such risks are; application of a site-specific odor control

plan, chemical dosing to reduce pathogen level, and continuous analysis of sludge for the

heavy metals content to classify as “non-hazardous”.

5.4 Waste Lubricant

Construction machines, trucks and cars are the sources of waste lubricant in construction

and operational phases. Repair and maintenance of all the vehicles will be carried out in

authorized services outside the Project Site. Lubricant of construction machinery will be

changed at the Project Site by the personnel of authorized service.

Waste lubricant resulting from maintenance works shall be given to firms licensed by the

MoEU for collection of waste lubricant in compliance with the Waste Lubricant Control

Regulation (OG dated 30.07.2008 and dated 26952). Waste lubricant collected by

licensed firms shall be transferred to licensed waste lubricant recovery plants.

5.5 Air Emissions

5.5.1 Gas Emissions

It is anticipated that a boiler with thermal power less than 1 MW will be used for heating of

administrative building. The boiler will be operated, and its emissions will be monitored

through periodical measurements in compliance with the Regulation on Control of Air

Pollution due to Heating (OG dated 13.01.2005 and numbered 25699).

Besides heating, there will be air emissions due to exhaust gas of vehicles and

construction and operation machinery. Hourly fuel consumption rate of vehicles and

machinery is anticipated as 50 L, and mass flow rate of pollutants are calculated

accordingly. In these calculations, density of diesel is assumed to be 0.8654 kg/L6.

Emission factors and emission amounts for pollutants emitted from diesel vehicles are

given in Table 5-2 along with the related limit values.

Table 5-2 Emission Factors and Amounts of Pollutants Emitted from Diesel Vehicles and Related Limit Values

As it is seen from Table 5-2, air emissions to result from construction machinery are below

the limit values given in Table 2-1 of Annex-2 to RCIAP. Therefore, emissions from

vehicles are not expected to cause an adverse impact on the ambient air quality.

Exhaust emissions of construction machinery and vehicles will be controlled through

regular maintenance. In this respect, provisions of the Circular on Exhaust Gases of Motor

Vehicles (OG dated 30.12.2004 and numbered 2004/13) shall be complied with.

5.5.2 Dust Emissions

The construction activities that may generate dust are listed below.

Transport on unpaved roads,

Site preparation and excavation works,

Transport, utilization and storage of construction materials and

Transport of excavated material.

Dust emissions from construction activities are calculated assuming dust emission factor

of 9.9 gr/m2/day for semi-dry areas. This factor has been calculated based on a formula

Considering the worst-case scenario, it is assumed that all the dust emissions will be

are calculated and given below.

It is anticipated that excavation and construction works of WWTP will be carried out in an

area of 45,988 m2. Duration of construction is predicted as 12 months. However, it is

considered that activities likely to cause intense dust emission will be completed in the

first 3 months. Taking this into consideration, dust emission calculations are carried out

simultaneously. Duration of construction is predicted as 12 months and activities likely to

cause intense dust emission will be completed in 12 months. It is because; almost all

week and 0.814 kg/hour till the end of 3 months. This is below the limit value of 1.0

kg/hour, beyond which air quality modeling study shall be necessary according to Annex-2

to RCIAP. Therefore, an air quality modeling study was not carried out to determine

suspended and settleable dust concentrations. Moreover, these are total values of three

main compartments of the project and they are not in same construction area. Hence, it is

expected that the closest sensitive receptors, which are the houses located approximately

500 m to the north of the WWTP, and houses around collector line and pump stations will

not be adversely affected by the dust emissions resulting from construction works.

Dust emissions due to excavation works may result in following impacts to the

surrounding biological and physical environment.

Impacts on flora by inhibiting photosynthesis,

Disturbance on the terrestrial fauna,

Respiratory illnesses,

Increasing turbidity in surface water.

Impacts due to dust emission will be minimized through implementation of the following

measures:

In order to prevent or minimize dust emission at soil piles, it shall be watered in dry and

windy weather for dampening,

30 km/hour speed limit shall be set on non-paved road,

Roads in the Project site shall be watered to prevent dust formation.

Covering of trucks with canvas.

5.5.3 Odor

In general, no significant odor formation is expected at a WWTP since aeration activity

prevents formation of odorous compounds. Only in certain sections of the WWTP, there

will be odor due to hydrogen sulfide formation caused by lack of oxygen. However, these

sections are generally, small compartments such as distribution structures. Hence, odor

formed in a domestic wastewater treatment plant does not cause significant nuisance in

the vicinity.

Besides, since dominant wind direction is west-southwest, and Beypazari district center is

located about 4 km (as the bird flies) in the north, people living in the district center are not

expected to be adversely affected by the odor formed in the WWTP.

5.6 Noise

The list of construction machinery that will be used in the construction phase of the

WWTP and relevant sound power levels are given in Table 5-3.

Noise level calculations have been carried out for the worst-case scenario in which all

machines are working simultaneously. Therefore, actual noise level will be much lower

than the calculated value. It is not possible to provide information about exact locations of

the construction machines.

Equivalent noise level caused by all noise sources is calculated using formula (1) given

below (METU-CEC, 2007). In this formula it is assumed that all the noise sources are at

the same level.

atmospheric absorption is negligible and all machines are working at the same point.

Noise level with respect to distance was calculated by using the formula given above, and

calculation results are given in Table 5-4 and Figure 5-1.

Note: Frequency interval of construction machines is between 500-4000 Hz. Therefore, sound power level at each point is

very close to noise level.


44/62

Figure 5-1 Distribution of Noise with respect to Distance

Noise limit values for construction sites are stipulated in Article 23 of the Regulation on

Control of Assessment and Management of Environmental Noise (RAMEN) (OG dated

04.06.2010 and numbered 27601). These limit values are given in Table 5-5.

Table 5-5 Noise Limit Values for Construction Sites (ÇGDYY Ek-VII, Table 5)

Activity (Construction, Demolition and Repair) Ldaytime (dBA)

Building 70

Road 75

Other Sources 70

According to the Article 23 of RAMEN, noise level due to construction activities shall be

below the limit value of 70 dBA (Table 5 of RAMEN) at such sensitive points as school,

hospital and house. The closest sensitive point to the construction site of WWTP is a

small hut (see Figure 3-5). This hut is approximately 100 m away from the proposed

WWTP area. Hence, the expected noise level at the hut is 73.32 dBA (see Table 5-4),

which is slightly above the limit value given in Table 5-5. Since this hut is not a proper

settlement unit; it is rather used occasionally (see Section 3.5.1). Therefore, a continuous

and heavy nuisance is not expected at the hut.

The next closest settlement is the house located about 500 m to the north of the WWTP.

Expected noise level at this house is 59.34 dBA (see Table 5-3). Therefore, this house is

not expected to be adversely affected from the noise resulting from construction activities.

The closest sensitive point to the construction site of collector line is a mosque. It is

approximately 20m away from collector line. So, the expected noise level at the mosque is

80.2 dBA, which is above the limit value given in Table 5-5. Since the construction of

collector line will be along the line, construction vehicles will not work in same place so

long and employees can excavate and construct 100 m collector line in 1 day, a

continuous and heavy nuisance is not expected at the mosque.

The closest sensitive points to all three pump stations are residential areas and they are

approximately 400m away from collector line. So, the expected noise levels at these

residential areas are 51.18 dBA. Therefore, these residential areas are not expected to be

adversely affected from the noise resulting from construction activities.

Calculating the noise to be resulting from construction machinery and equipment, it is

assumed that all the machines and equipment will be working simultaneously at the same

spot, and atmospheric absorption is neglected. It is expected that the noise level in the

real case will be much lower than this calculated levels In order to minimize the noise

during construction activities, maintenance of the machinery and equipment will be

regularly made.

Considering the characteristics of the construction machines and equipment to be used in

the Project Site, noise that will result from construction activities will not increase the

background noise level near the site considerably.

There will not be any significant impact during operational phase of the Project at the

nearest sensitive receptor.

5.7 Impacts on Flora and Fauna

Since the Project Site is an agricultural area, there is no natural flora structure in the site.

During the operation period of the Project, anthropogenic factors have been expected to

have impact on fauna and flora, therefore on the biological diversity. For this reason;

people who are temporarily or permanently stay within the Project Area will be ensured to

keep the negative impacts on the flora and fauna at the minimum level. The gathering

plant species, the damage on wild animal species, hunting or killing those animals will be

definitely prevented.

But, there is no observation of such an issue on the Project Site. However, a small tunnel,

passing below the road, can be built to be on the safe side.

The construction area might be disturbing for the fauna as well as the adjoining

vegetation. Fencing around the Project Site might help to prevent the inconvenience.

Some species may already have their nests within the construction area. Adequate time

may be given to the animals in order to move out from the Project Site or the nests might

be moved to a similar habitat out of the Project Site. It is highly recommended not to start

the construction period during the reproduction season of the threatened/vulnerable

species.

Trees within the construction site might be important for some species. If this is the case

those trees might be transferred to a close are out of the Project Site.

Turtle (Testuda graeca), yellow snake (Elaphe quatuorlineata), and Asia minor ground

squirrel (Spermophilus xanthoprymnus) are categorized as near threatened. However,

according to studies (Demirsoy, 2006), these species are widespread and are not


46/62

endangered in Turkey. Therefore, mentioned species will not be affected negatively from

the Project’s construction and operational activities.

During the construction of collector lines, top soil shall be separated and stored in a

different area because, the biological cycle depends on existence of minerals,

microorganisms, and seeds in the vegetative soil. In case of vegetative soil not being

stored under appropriate conditions or mixing with sub-soil, biological cycle will not be

completed. Therefore, growth of plants will be affected. Measure to be taken to prevent

this situation is the laying soil layers separately.

Collector lines will be under the agricultural lands so that natural vegetation will not be

affected negatively by the collector lines construction.

Moreover; Bern Agreement protection measures in regard to the fauna species listed in

Bern Agreement Annex-2 and Annex-3 as well as 6th and 7th articles of the agreement will

be followed in the operation stage of the project.

5.8 Public and Occupational Health and Safety

In the construction phase, there may be some nuisance or safety risks on the local

people. In order to eliminate or minimize such impacts drivers of the vehicles carrying

materials to construction site should obey speed limit of 30 km/hour. There will be barriers

and warning signs around the construction site in order to prevent entry of local people

into the site. There will be also warning signs on the road side in order to warn drivers

about trucks entering or leaving the site. Barriers will be immediately built in excavation

areas to prevent people from falling down. Excavated areas should be covered for public

health or surrounded by warning signs if coverage is not possible. Pipe ends will be

closed to prevent entry of animals.

In order to eliminate occupational health and safety risks in the construction site, barriers

should be employed to prevent landslide in deep excavation areas. National legislation

regarding occupational health and safety will be complied with. Besides, nationally and

internationally accepted procedures should be followed (e.g. use of personal protective

equipment). Occupational health and safety procedures will also be covered in the context

of training (see Section 7.5).

Similarly, provisions in the national legislation regarding occupational health and safety

will be complied with during the operational phase. Besides, nationally and internationally

accepted procedures should be followed (e.g. use of personal protective equipment) in the

operational phase. An Emergency Response Plan regarding accidents that may occur

during WWTP operation should be prepared and approved by the Municipality.

6 EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVES

As mentioned before, final design studies have been conducted for the Project by the

BoP. As a result of these studies, Final Design Report has been prepared for the WWTP.

In the scope of final design studies, only one treatment system alternative has been

considered. Therefore, our second technology alternative will be “no action”. Similarly,

during design studies, no alternative sites have been considered. Detailed assessment of

these alternatives is given below.

6.1 Alternatives for the Project Site

The BoP has conducted surveys before and during the final design studies in cooperation

with the Municipality. As a result of these studies, an area (see Appendix-A), which is the

property of the Municipality, receiving most of the wastewater by gravity flow, has been

selected.

In this context, no other alternative sites have been considered for the WWTP. Taking

social concerns into account, eliminating resettlement and economic displacement is

favorable. Therefore, the proposed site is deemed appropriate for realizing a Category A

project financed by the WB Group.

6.2 Technology Alternatives

6.2.1 No Action

In the “no action” alternative, wastewater generated within Beypazari District would

continue to be discharged into the receiving surface water medium without any treatment.

In this case, the problems that are mentioned in Section 3.3 will be experienced. Such

problems are the actual reasons behind development of the wastewater engineering, and

have led a significant number of wastewater treatment practices in the entire world.

In this respect, untreated discharge of wastewater will mainly cause extensive pollution in

surface and groundwater. Surface and groundwater pollution will subsequently cause

human health problems (e.g. blue baby disease). Surface water pollution will also trigger

deterioration of aquatic ecology, and adversely affect biodiversity in the river environment.

6.2.2 Selected Alternative

Considering the treatment technologies widely used in the world, suitable processes that

may be used in urban WWTPs are listed below.

Attached growth systems

Trickling filter,

Suspended growth

Stabilization ponds,

Sequencing batch reactor,

Conventional activated sludge system,


48/62

Extended aeration activated sludge system.

All the processes are capable of removing BOD and SS at the required level. However,

since there is a risk of eutrophication in the receiving body where the treated wastewater

will be discharged, treatment of nitrogen and phosphorus is also necessary in compliance

with the Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive.

In terms of phosphorus removal, each of these processes is not sufficient alone.

Therefore, anaerobic tanks should also be included in these processes for phosphorus

removal. As for the nitrogen removal, aeration duration should be longer. Since sludge

handling also incurs high costs for the operator of the WWTP, extended aeration activated

sludge process has been selected considering that it generates low amount of sludge.

6.2.3 Alternatives for Sludge Management

Composting may be considered as another alternative for the sludge management

technology; however, since this application is not feasible for the Project with respect to

land limitation and soil quality protection issues and also cost point of view, sludge

handling cited in the report is declared as final decision.

Selected method for the sludge handling dewatering (use of decanter) of the sludge.

However, with these methods, deserved solid content can’t be met. Therefore, drying

process is selected for the final handling of the sludge. Drying process will be executed

since the Sludge Drying Facility of Tatlar Wastewater Treatment Plant will become

operational till the end of 2014.

7.4 Monitoring Plan

It is suggested that environmental monitoring studies should be conducted separately

(with different scopes) because different activities during construction and operation

period of the Project will result in different possible environmental impacts. Data acquired

during monitoring studies will be compared with national legislation items which are

mentioned in Chapter 2.


Monitoring every environmental parameter continuously is not practical and necessary.

Environmental monitoring functions according to the characteristics of existing

environmental conditions and identifies unacceptable changes during construction period.

In this context, monitoring plan is designed to commit that “project activities have no

permanent negative effect on environmental resources”.

For construction period, air quality, waste management applications and noise levels will

be monitored and the results will be compared to legal limit values. Contractor will prepare

a report about monitoring studies according to the following program and offers it to the

Municipality:

Daily environmental non-compliance report (if any),

Monthly environmental monitoring reports in which environmental

performance of the Project is evaluated according to EMP requirements.

7.4.2 Operational Phase

In the operational phase less environmental impact is expected than in the construction

phase. Municipality will prepare and submit environmental monitoring reports to the BoP

semi-annually.

Monitoring plan related with the Project is given in Table 7-2.

7.5 Institutional Strengthening

In general, in this section of EMP’s, the recommendations related to the institutional

strengthening are provided in order to ensure that environmental measures are applied for

an environmentally sound and sustainable project development.

In this context, in the construction phase of the Project, Municipality will hire an

environmental consultant to follow up whether requirements of the EMP will be

implemented. This environmental consultant should be a company or establishment

authorized by the MoEU in compliance with the Regulation on Environmental Inspection

(see Chapter 2). Environmental consultant will be basically responsible for coordination

between the Municipality and the Contractor, which is responsible for environmental

monitoring to be carried out in the construction phase. Alternatively, Municipality can have

an Environmental Officer within its organization in order to carry out the same task. An

environmental consultant or Environmental Officer of the Municipality will be employed for

the same purpose in the operational phase as well.

7.5.1 Equipment Purchase

Environmental measurements and analyzes will be carried out by a company authorized

by the MoEU for carrying out environmental measurements and analyses according to the

requirements of the Turkish environmental legislations and a laboratory accredited by

Turkish Accreditation Agency (TURKAK). Therefore, Municipality does not need to

purchase equipment for environmental monitoring.

7.5.2 Training

Environmental consultant will assign an environmental engineer7 to inspect the proposed

environmental monitoring works at the Project Site. Prior to the execution of the

environmental monitoring works, environmental engineer will carry out a training

campaign in order to increase the awareness of the construction staff about environment

and occupational health and safety and to convey the requirements of the EMP.

The scope of the training will include mainly the scope of the EMP, the relevant

environmental legislation of Turkey, requirements of the WB and the following concepts

should be included in the training program:

Understanding of the Project’s environmental requirements and their

implementation at the site by the staff (i.e. what kind of environmental impacts are

expected and what kind of mitigation measures are proposed; where and how to

take these measures);

Occupational health and safety procedures to be followed at the site;

Understanding of the procedures to be followed in improper situations;

Reporting principals and understanding rules;

7 Environmental Engineer, is an authorized person as “Environmental Officer (in Turkish: Çevre Gorevlisi)” according to the

Environmental Audit Regulation


58/62

The Project’s environmental dimension and informing the related official institutions

about it;

Understanding how to treat the public and media visiting the site; and

Understanding how to act in case of unexpected environmental accidents.

The Contractor is in charge of keeping the records related to the environmental training of

the staff. Internal HSE monitoring should test the effectiveness and the adequacy of the

training.

7.5.3 Consultancy Services

The environmental engineer assigned by the Municipality will do provide environmental

consultancy services to ensure the compliance with environmental rules and regulations

as well as guidelines and to meet the requirements that may occur during audits by the

WB or local authorities such as Ankara PDoEU.

The environmental engineer will carry out monitoring work outlined in Section 7.4 and will

hold meetings with construction contractor to obtain information about the progress in the

works as well as environmental issues encountered.

7.5.4 Public Relationship

Handling with Complaints

During the construction phase of the Project, the Contractor will prepare a procedure to

direct complaints to the Municipality. The Municipality is responsible to deliver the phone

numbers, mail and e-mail addresses to interest groups (local people and NGO’s) for

receiving and recording any complaints. Hence, a public relations mechanism will be

constructed by the Municipality for the complaints from local people, NGO’s and

governmental establishments of the district.

In this regard, any complaints received will be recorded by a Complaints Desk to be

formed within the Municipality. Complaints will be recorded by this unit, and directed to the

Directorate of Water Network. After evaluating the complaints, the department will force

the Contractor to take necessary corrective action. The complainant will be informed

about the progress after necessary measures are taken and the subject environmental

problem is resolved. All records of complaints and relative action taken will be recorded by

the Complaints Desk.

A public relation mechanism should be established by the Municipality in the operational

phase of the Project like the one developed in the construction phase and the public

relations process will be followed by this mechanism in order to evaluate complaints and

suggestions from people.


59/62

7.6 Institutional Arrangements

This section gives information about how and by whom the environmental monitoring data

will be used.


The Municipality is the responsible party to minimize or eliminate possible environmental

impacts of the Project. Therefore, to guarantee the environmental performance of the

Project, the Contractor will be aware of his/her responsibilities in the construction period.

In this way, the Contractor will be aware of the environmental responsibilities and the

requirements of Project.

Contractor will perform the following activities for a balanced environmental performance:

Assigning his/her own HSE personnel to implement the EMP,

Working in coordination with Environmental Engineer to ensure that the personnel

working in the construction period are trained to raise the consciousness on

environmental issues and EMP requirements,

Minimization of the emissions and noise originating from the construction

equipment, protection of water resources, compliance with the requirements of

EMP.

The Contractor, who will conduct the environmental monitoring studies according to the

issues stated in the EMP under the control of the Municipality and Environmental

Engineer, will present the results to the Municipality with environmental monitoring

reports.

The Municipality will evaluate the monitoring reports which are presented by the

Contractor in terms of related environmental measures. Moreover, the Municipality will

keep a copy of the environmental monitoring reports and submit another copy to the field

office of the Contractor to present it to authorities in the controls that will be made by

Ankara PDoEU.

When non-compliance is detected by the PDoEU, the Contractor will resolve the situation

and declare it to the Municipality.

Within the context of this EMP, the task distribution concerning anticipated activities in the

construction phase is presented in Table 7-3.

3 Relations with the media are the responsibility of the Municipality as a requirement of general implementation rules of public investments. This forbids the Contractor from arranging a direct meeting with the media.


60/62


As the proposed environmental monitoring works for the operation phase are very limited

and the organizational structure of the operational staff is not certain yet, there is no

detailed proposal for institutional arrangements at the moment. In short, there should be

one HSE officer in the organizational structure of the Municipality who will be responsible

for following up the EMP requirements, related to the operational phase, and for

coordination with the environmental engineer to be appointed by Municipality.

7.7 Consultation with NGO’s and Project Affected Groups

A public relation mechanism should be set up and applied throughout the construction and

operational phases of the Project. In this respect, local people and NGO’s as well as local

authorities will be informed about the Project progress. Hence, any public objection that

might be raised by local people due to lack of information could be prevented and good

relations between the local people and the Municipality as well as contractors can be

established and maintained. However, there is no complaint about the Project by local

people or NGO’s until now.

Any complaint rose by local people or NGO’s will be recorded and followed up whether or

not corrective actions, if necessary, are taken. Therefore, a log book for such complaints

will be available at the site office (during the construction phase) or power plant

administrative building (during the operational phase).


During the construction phase, periodic public consultation meetings (PCM) will be held in

Beypazari. In these meetings, the relevant stakeholders (local people, representatives of

local NGO’s as well as local authorities) will be informed about the progress of the project

development.

A separate section will be allocated for the public relation activities in the environmental

monitoring reports to be prepared by the Environmental Engineer in the context of the

Project

The first PCM before the construction of the Project was held on 09.06.2010 at 14.00 in

the Beypazari Public House. Many people from Beypazari district center attended the

meeting. Detailed information about PCM is given in Appendix-C.

The second PCM was held on 10.01.2011 at 11:00 in the Beypazari Public House. In this

meeting, local people, local authorities and representatives of WB and BoP are informed

about the specifications of the Project such as units operations and processes.

Information being provided in the second PCM about the construction period of the Project

is described below:

Construction and commissioning period of the Project is estimated to be 2 years.

Domestic solid waste amount is calculated as 94 kg/day.


61/62

Waste batteries/accumulators, tyres and medical wastes will be collected and

disposed by licensed firms.

Hazardous wastes will be temporarily stored then will be collected by licensed

firms.

Dust preventive measures will be taken such as speed limitation and watering

during the construction.

Expected noise will be 59.34 dBA in the nearest sensitive receptor.

Occupational Health and Safety measures will be taken to prevent any dangerous

situation for workers.


During the operational phase of the project, regular PCMs should also be held. During

PCMs, minutes of meeting will be taken together with a list of participants who will sign an

attendance sheet. These records should be kept by the Municipality.
