INTRODUCTION
1.1
PURPOSE OF THIS BIODIVERSITY ACTION PLAN
Polskie LNG S.A. (PLNG) engaged a consulting company (ERM Polska
Sp.z.o.o.) to prepare this Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) in the context of the
overall environmental and social assessment for the planned construction of
the LNG Terminal Project in Swinoujscie (see Project Description in Sec 2.1).
The BAP is a supplement to the four separate Environmental Impact
Assessments (EIAs) previously prepared for the LNG Project components,
with the purpose being to provide a summary of the known risks and
potential impacts to the regional biodiversity and to determine the need of
mitigation and monitoring measures necessary to avoid, minimise or mitigate,
or as a last resort, offset or compensate any unwanted impacts. This is
achieved by:
an assessment of how proposed Project-related activities affect
biodiversity and renewable natural resources;
an analysis of how biodiversity and renewable natural resources can be
managed as part of the Project activities and how adverse impacts can be
mitigated;
an identification of responsibilities (internally and externally) and
resources for management and mitigation.
The approach followed in this BAP is based on the application of the Equator
Principles to this Project and the relevant standards/requirements of the
International Finance Institution (IFC) and the European Bank for
Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) as discussed below.
The BAP is linked to the Environmental and Social Action Plan (ESAP) that
contains the environmental and social action items that were agreed for the
Project.
As a stand-alone document, this BAP will serve as a management tool for use
by the responsible LNG Project staff and contractors as a common basis for
action and compliance with respect to biodiversity protection.

1.2
INTERNATIONAL REFERENCE STANDARDS FOR BIODIVERSITY
The IFC‟s Performance Standard (PS) 6 on Biodiversity is the most widely
accepted international standard for dealing with biodiversity and ecosystems
in ESIAs, and is a requirement for Equator Principle bank financing. PS6 has
been developed to „reflect the objectives of the Convention on Biodiversity (CBD)’,
and as such, to ensure that „the Assessment will take into account the differing
values attached to biodiversity by specific stakeholders, as well as identify impacts on
ecosystem services‟. The EBRD effectively adopt the same performance
standard and refers to it as Performance Requirement (PR) 6.
The main elements of IFC‟s PS 6 and EBRD‟s PR 6 on Biodiversity that are of
note include:
1) Firstly, taking an approach based on identifying the type of „habitat‟
impacted, in terms of whether the habitat is „natural’ or ‘modified’ (i.e.
human activity has modified the areas primary ecological functions, for
example, through fishing or the introduction of alien species); secondly,
determining whether that habitat is considered „critical‟. This categorisation
then influences the nature and extent of acceptable impacts, mitigation and
compensation measures.
2) Based on this „habitat‟ approach, the overall aim of PS 6 is to achieve „no net
loss’ of biodiversity, where feasible. EBRD‟s PR 6 suggests no net loss or a
„net gain of the affected biodiversity‟.
3) Ascertaining whether the proposed project is located within a legally
protected area, and if so, adhering to certain requirements.
4) In relation to invasive species, the development „will not intentionally
introduce alien or non-native species‟ (unless it is in accordance with regulatory
frameworks or is subject to a risk assessment), and it „will exercise due diligence
to prevent accidental or unintended introductions’, and ‘identify measures to
minimise the potential for release, if any’.
5) Other aspects of the guidance also recommend: taking into account material
impacts on biodiversity arising through „supply chains’ or other „third party
relationships‟, considering short-term, long-term and cumulative impacts,
and considering impacts to ‘ecosystem services’.
Together the IFC PS 6 and EBRD PR 6 define “critical habitat” as either natural
or modified habitats that meet at least one of the following requirements and
so deserves particular attention.
FINAL
2
OCTOBER 2010
Critical habitat includes:
Areas with high biodiversity value (1);
Habitat required for the survival of critically endangered or endangered
species as defined by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species or as
defined in any national legislation;
Areas having special significance for endemic or restricted-range species;
Sites that are critical for the survival of migratory species;
Areas supporting globally significant concentrations or numbers of
individuals of congregatory species;
Areas with unique assemblages of species or which are associated with key
evolutionary processes or provide key ecosystem services;
Areas having biodiversity of significant social, economic or cultural
importance to local communities; and
Areas of importance to species vital to the ecosystem as a whole (keystone
species).
The EBRD is guided by and supports conservation and protection measures
written into international law, conventions and EU directives, including
adopting a precautionary approach to the conservation and sustainable use of
biodiversity and the management of impacts upon it.
Key within the context of the present study is that the project is located within
or in the vicinity of Natura2000 sites, a coherent network of protected areas in
EU member states. The legal basis for the Natura 2000 network comes from
the Birds Directive which dates back to 1979 and the Habitats Directive from
1992. Together these Directives constitute the backbone of the EU's policy on
biodiversity protection.
(1) Such as areas that meet the criteria of the World Conservation Union (IUCN) classification.
FINAL
3
OCTOBER 2010
The objectives of the EBRD‟s PR 6 include, inter alia, statements to:
Protect and conserve biodiversity;
Avoid, minimise and mitigate impacts on biodiversity and offset significant
residual impacts, where appropriate, with the aim of achieving no net loss
or a net gain of biodiversity; and
Promote the sustainable management and use of natural resources.
1.3
SCOPE AND STRUCTURE OF THIS BAP DOCUMENT
The scope of the present BAP has been defined on the basis of Annex A
included in IFC Guidance Note 6 (1). The chapters in the present report are
structured accordingly, as follows:
Chapter 1 (this chapter) explains the rationale and approach to the present
study.
Chapter 2 provides an overview of the project, with emphasis on project
components occurring within protected and/or Natura2000 sites.
Chapter 3 describes the protected areas and includes information on
when/why they were designated as protected areas/Natura2000 sites.
Chapter 4 provides an overview of the Polish environmental regulatory
system, with specific emphasis on the PLNG approval process and decisions
to date related to the LNG project and pipeline alignment within the
Natura2000 sites (including any key environmental regulatory "conditions").
Chapter 5 summarises the baseline studies conducted to date, and lists relevant
additional studies that were carried out in support of the ESIA.
Chapter 6 provides an overview of potential impacts to biodiversity, including
a clear description on whether the project will/will not impact critical habitat
as defined by PR6. The impact section also provides a summary of total
habitat loss and highlights the potential for habitat fragmentation.
Chapter 7 provides a summary of proposed mitigation measures, including
permit/approval conditions and potential offsets or compensation should the

project result in significant habitat loss (especially within the Natura2000
sites).
Finally, Chapter 8 includes pertinent elements of the monitoring programme,
with a focus on keystone species that can be used as "indicators" to measure
implementation success of the project's mitigation/biodiversity management
program.
Annex A lists the species of conservation interest that are known to occur in
the Natura2000 sites and that warrant specific mitigation measures to be
undertaken as part of the project.

PROJECT OVERVIEW
2.1
INTRODUCTION
Polskie LNG S.A (PLNG,) is planning to construct and operate a Liquefied
Natural Gas (LNG) Regasification Terminal in Świnoujście, Poland.
Świnoujście is in the most north-western part of the Western Pomeranian
Province and about 4.5 km from the German border. The project will consist
of four components: LNG terminal, breakwater, jetty and pipeline. In
addition to the project components dredging will be required to allow LNG
tankers to access the jetty (see Section 2.3 for details).
The date for the terminal to become fully operational and shipment of first
LNG by tanker is expected in June 2014.
2.2
LNG TERMINAL
The LNG terminal will be located on Wolin Island between the southern coast
of Pomeranian Bay and the Odra estuary. It will contain facilities for:
Servicing/offloading LNG ships with capacities ranging from 75,000 m3 to
216,000 m3;
Storage of LNG in two onshore cooled tanks with gross capacities of
160,000 m3 each; the height of the tanks and the flare will be approximately
50 metres;
Re-gasification of stored LNG with a capacity of 5 billion Nm3 per year,
with the possibility of increasing regasification capacity to 7.5 billion Nm3
per year by adding a third tank without the need to expand the site;
Uploading LNG to road-tankers with a planned dispatch capacity of
approximately 95,000 tonnes of LNG per year. It is planned that
approximately 5 % of the LNG received by sea will be shipped onwards via
road tankers in the further years of terminal operating.
Preparatory site clearance for the LNG terminal was completed in 2009 and
works for road access started in spring 2010. Construction is planned to start
in mid-2010 after the contract with the selected EPC contractor has been
finalised.
FINAL

OCTOBER 2010
2.3
BREAKWATER
A new breakwater will be constructed into the Baltic Sea to the east of the
existing breakwater at the mouth of Świna River, extending from the beach to
the north and north-west for about 2 km. The breakwater will protrude
approximately 6.5 metres above the water level. The fairway to the port, the
port basin and a turning circle for ships will be dredged to 14.5 m depth. The
berthing area will be dredged for a maximum draught of 12.5 m depth. The
dredging spoils excavated during construction of the new harbour basin and
jetty will be deposited at two locations on the seabed northeast of Świnoujście:
a 12 km² area starting about 12 km from shore and a 3 km² area about 20 km
from shore. The breakwater, together with the new jetty (see below), will form
a new external port facility that provides space for five additional berths that
may be developed in the future.
Construction of the breakwater is scheduled to start in July 2010 and be
completed in December 2012. The general contractor was contracted in May
2010. The fairway to, the new harbour basin, the turning circle and the
berthing area will be dredged out to the required depths simultaneously with
the construction of the breakwater.
2.4
JETTY
The new jetty will be located within the new external harbour and will serve
as the mooring site for the LNG carriers during unloading and will be
equipped with all necessary devices for this purpose, such as navigation
equipment and mooring equipment. It is estimated that 65 tankers will berth
at the LNG terminal per year. The tankers will be Q-Flex type vessels with a
capacity up to 216,000 m3, length of 315 m, width of 50 m and draught of
12.5 m.
Construction of the jetty is scheduled to start in October 2010 after the first
800 m of the new breakwater have been completed. Piling works, the erection
of the support structures of the jetty platform and the pipeline bridge will be
completed in June 2011 with the outfitting of the jetty unloading facilities
planned for completion by November 2012.
The figure below presents a visualisation of the LNG Terminal and the new
breakwater that encloses the new external harbour and jetty.

PIPELINE
In order to feed the re-gasified natural gas into the Polish national gas
transmission pipeline grid after its re-gasification in the LNG terminal, GazSystem will build an approximately 6 kilometre long high-pressure connector
gas pipeline (nominal diameter of 800 mm) from the LNG terminal to the
vicinity of Łunowo. There it will be connected to the planned approx. 74
kilometre long Świnoujście-Szczecin high pressure gas transmission pipeline
(also 800 mm nominal diameter) connecting to a new grid station in the village
of Budno near Goleniów. About 95% of the length of the new gas transmission
pipeline will run parallel with the existing gas transmission pipeline. The
overall route runs from the LNG terminal, east across the Wolin island to the
city of Wolin and, having crossed the Dziwna River at the longitude of the city
of Wolin, turns south toward Stępnica and then Goleniów. The route of the
gas transmission pipeline will run through the following municipalities:
Świnoujście, Międzyzdroje, Wolin, Stępnica, Goleniów (fig. 3.1)

ENVIRONMENTAL BASELINE
3.1
MARINE AND SHORE ENVIRONMENT
The seabed of the nearshore environment is inhabited by common benthic
species typical of the brackish conditions in the Pomeranian Bay, notably the
soft-shell clam Mya arenaria, Baltic clam Macoma baltica, various species of
amphipods, ragworms, nematodes and mussel. There is no seagrass or other
aquatic plants. Common macro-algae and benthic diatoms dominate. Algae
are also found on and in the crevices of the existing breakwater. The rock
armour provides a habitat to mussels or barnacles. The water column hosts a
variety of phytoplankton and zooplankton species, representative of a
freshwater and brackish water environment. There are large seasonal
differences in the number of species observed.
The sandy beach is home to a protected species under Polish law, the
amphipod Talitrus saltator which thrives on accumulated beach wrack in the
drift line. The species is also found on beaches to the east of the project area.
The fish fauna comprises typical marine species (eg eelpout, cod, herring,
flatfish) and freshwater fish species from the lagoon, notably pike and perch.
A few protected species that are listed on Annex II of the Habitat Directive are
occasionally observed in the area, including the twaite shad Alosa fallax, allis
shad Alosa alosa, salmon, ziege, the sea and river lamprey, eel, and two species
of sturgeon. Eel and sturgeon are stocked in Polish rivers and also the
Szczecin Lagoon was restocked with eels.
Marine mammals that occasionally frequent the Pomeranian Bay include the
harbour porpoise Phocaena phocaena, the white-beaked dolphin, the gray seal
and common seal. There are no known seal haul out sites near the project
area. These species are also listed on Annex II or Annex IV of the Habitat
Directive.
The existing breakwater is an important resting place for many bird species,
mostly waders, gulls and terns including the dunlin, the Bar-tailed godwit and
the purple sandpiper in notable numbers. Among the more than 100 species
of birds, some 26 are listed on Annex I of the Bird Directive, and 22 are listed
in the Polish Red Book of Animals. The Pomeranian Bay and Odra Delta
(which includes Szczecin lagoon) are an important stopover for migratory
birds. Large numbers of birds flock to the area in spring and autumn.
FINAL

OCTOBER 2010
Behind the beach lies an area of sand dunes with successive zones of
strandline vegetation including grassleaf orach Atriplex littoralis seaward of
the dunes, pioneer vegetation (including sand couch grass Elymus farctu) on
shifting dunes, white dunes and more mature grey dunes covered with
grassland. The pioneer vegetation adapts to a continually changing landscape
from windswept sand. The sand dune areas are listed on Annex I of the
Habitat Directive.
3.2
LAND ENVIRONMENT
The LNG Terminal site is located within a designated Natura 2000 site (PLH
320019 Wolin I Uznam SCI). A number of different habitats are situated
parallel to the sea shore including a sand dune succession with white stage
dunes (with willow) and grey dunes. Within the LNG terminal site itself there
are six protected types of natural habitat according to Annex I Habitats
Directive (one of them, grey dunes is a priority habitat). Thirty four protected
species of vascular plants and fungi occur in the vicinity of the site (Table 3.1).

The wildlife survey conducted within the EIA studies identified a large
number of species in the area. The pool frog (Pelophylax lessonae also named
Rana lessonae), moor frog (Rana arvalis) and sand lizard (Lacerta agilis) are
included in the Habitat Directive as species requiring strict conservation (socalled Annex IV species). In addition, three bird species listed in Appendix I
of the Birds Directive (species requiring special conservation measures) were
noted during the field investigations; woodlark (Lullula arborea), red-backed
shrike (Lanius collurio) and black woodpecker Dryocopus martius). The most
valuable breeding species on the site are the woodlark and red-backed shrike.
The section of beach located between the land part and sea part of the LNG
terminal, besides breeding, is a very important place of prey and rest for many
gulls and shore birds (Charadriformes). Former military fortifications and
shelters located near the proposed LNG site are important structures for bats.
Five bat species (Myotis nattereri, Myotis daubentonii, Eptesicus serotinus,
Plecotus auritus, Myotis myotis) identified in the area during the field
investigations are protected at EU level (listed in Annex II or IV).

PIPELINE ROUTE
The pipeline route runs through several habitat types as it travels from the
LNG terminal in Świnoujście to Poland‟s transmission system in Goleniów:
maritime, grassland, meadows, tall herbs, heathland, undergrowth, forests
and coniferous forests. Maritime habitats include wooded dunes of the sea
region (habitat code 2180) and wet dune slacks (habitat code 2190). Habitats
in grassland, meadows, tall herbs, heathland and undergrowth include dry
heaths (habitat code 4030), dry xeric sand calcareous grassland (priority
habitat, code 6120) and Molinia meadows (habitat code 6410). Forest and
coniferous forest habitats include Luzulo-Fagetum beech forest (habitat code
9110) and bog woodland (priority habitat 91D0).
In addition the pipeline runs within the vicinity of the boundaries of three
animal protection zones. In three places, the pipeline route runs at a distance
of 20 m to the boundaries of (partial) protection areas of breeding pairs of
white-tailed eagles within the Międzyzdroje Forest District at a distance and
near the boundary of Woliński National Park.
The following Habitats Directive Annex II species have been found to live on
the pipeline route:
Crested newt (Triturus cristatus);
European fire-bellied toad (Bombina bombina);

3.5.1
Wolin National Park
Wolin National Park was established in 1960 and is located in the vicinity of
the external port of Swinoujscie and spoil disposal sites. It covers an area of
4,700 ha and includes the following areas:
the Baltic cliff coast;
the Reverse delta of Świna;
the border of Mierzeja Przymorska;
a portion of Miedzydrojski forest;
coastal waters of the Baltic Sea; and
the coastal waters of the Szczecin Lagoon.
The project area is located about 4 km from the border of the buffer zone of
the Wolin National Park. Due to the distance from the project to the park, it is
not anticipated that operation of the planned facilities will have any impact on
the National Park. The only potential impact on the Park may result from
increased environmental pollution in the event that gas is transported from
the Terminal by tanker trucks. Also, the pipeline passes through parts of the
National Park.
In terms of the important species, Wolin National Park has a small population
of White-tailed Eagles (Haliaetus albicilla).
3.5.2
Olszanka Wildlife Reserve
The pipeline route passes near Olszanka Wildlife Reserve. This area is
covered by Galio-Carpinetum oak-hornbeam forests, a habitat listed on
Annex I.
In terms of the important species, Olszanka Wildlife reserve also has a small
population (2-3 pairs) of White-tailed Eagles (Haliaetus albicilla).

SPECIES OF CONSERVATION INTEREST
Of the Natura 2000 sites detailed above, additional species of conservation
interest are found in the three SCIs:
Wolin i Uznam SCI (PLH 320019);
Ujscie Odry i Zalew Szczecinski (PLH 320018); and
Uroczyska w Lasach Stepnickich (PLH 320033).
FINAL
21
OCTOBER 2010
The species of conservation interest have been selected due to their
appearance on the national red list, being an endemic species, being protected
by International Conventions (incl. Bern, Bonn and Biodiversity) or for other
reasons, namely the quality and importance of the site for the species. The
other important species of flora and fauna found in Natura 2000 sites are listed
in Annex A, along with their reason for inclusion and population occurrence
within the site.
In addition to these species Talitrus saltator (sand hopper), which is found on
the beaches of the project area, is included on the Polish Red List.

OVERVIEW OF POLISH ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS
4.1
GENERAL OVERVIEW OF THE POLISH ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATORY SYSTEM
4.1.1
EIA
The Act on Providing Information on the Environment and Environmental
Protection, Public Participation in Environmental Protection and on
Environmental Impact Assessment, dated 3 October 2008 (Journal of Laws no.
199, item 1227) is a normative act that governs the procedures for assessing the
environmental impact of investments and public participation in such
procedures. The EIA Act implements the relevant EU legislation on EIAs, in
particular Council Directive 85/337/EEC of 27 June 1985 on the assessment of
the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment (Official
Journal L 175/40 of 5 July 1985, as amended). The EIA Act differentiates between
the types of projects where:
EIA is mandatory, or
the Competent Authority decides case-by-case decision whether an EIA is
required.
The Regulation of the Ministers Council, 9 November 2004 dated (Journal of
Laws no 257, item 2573, as amended) specifies the competent authorities, which
shall screen projects in terms of potential environmental impact and classify as
Annex I or II. The four Project Components were each screened and classified
by the competent authorities as per the EIA Regulation as follows:
Gas Pipeline and Jetty (Annex I projects) – EIAs were obligatory as per the
full scope of the EIA Act;
LNG terminal and Breakwater (Annex II project) the responsible authorities
are required to conduct an EIA and specify the scope.
The EIA Reports were prepared by the respective developers as required for
each Project Component and submitted to the authorities. For Annex I or II
projects that may have an impact on the Natura 2000 sites, an appropriate
assessment (habitat assessment) is part of the EIA.
For any other project (not included in Annex I or II) where the competent
authority issues a development-like permit and recognises that a project may
potentially have a significant impact on a Natura 2000 site, it shall issue a
decision to impose the obligation to submit the approval application to the
FINAL
23
OCTOBER 2010
Regional Director for Environmental Protection, which is competent in terms
of jurisdiction. Where it is found that the project will not have significant
impact on a Natura 2000 site, the Regional Director for Environmental
Protection shall provide, by way of a decision, that there is no need to carry
out the assessment of impact of the project on a Natura 2000 site. Otherwise,
the Regional Director for Environmental Protection shall impose the
requirement for the submission of a report on the impact of the project on a
Natura 2000 site and define the scope of this report. The scope of the report
on the impact of the project on a Natura 2000 site shall be limited only to the
determination of the impact of the project on the Natura 2000 site in terms of
the integrity and coherence of these sites.
In case the assessment of the impact of the project on a Natura 2000 site
indicates that the project may have a significant adverse impact on this site
and there is no reason of overriding public interest, the Regional Director for
Environmental Protection shall refuse to approve the conditions for the
implementation of the project.
After the assessment of the impact of a project on a Natura 2000 site has been
carried out, the Regional Director for Environmental Protection shall issue a
decision to approve the conditions for the implementation of the project in the
scope of the impact of the project on the Natura 2000 site.
Figure 4.1 presents the decision-making process for projects that might have
significant effects on Natura 2000 site.

Director for Environmental Protection is required. Prior to issuing or
changing a decision requiring public consultation, the authorities issuing the
decision are obliged to make the required information public without
unnecessary delay. Complaints and recommendations submitting can be
done in written form, orally and recorded in a log, or by email. Comments
and recommendations submitted after the deadline (statutory 21 days) will
not be examined.
4.1.3
Permitting
In accordance with the Law on Nature Protection, dated 16 April 2004 (Journal
of Laws no 151, item 1220, as amended) any activities that may destroy or disturb
protected species of fungi, plants or animals or their habitats are not allowed.
The protected species or habitats are listed in appropriate regulations of
Minister of Environment:
Regulation of the Minister of Environment of 9 July 2004 on the species of
wild plants under protection;
Regulation of the Minister of Environment of 9 July 2004 on the species of
wild fungi under protection; and
Regulation of the Minister of Environment of 28 September 2004 on the
species of wild animals under protection.
Additionally, the Regional Director for Environmental Protection can issue an
ordinance to protect the species of plants, animals or fungi not covered by the
protection provided by the national legislation, in the way of a regionally
applicable law for a specified period. The General Director for Environmental
Protection may grant exceptions to the prohibitions of picking, removal,
damage, translocation and breeding of strictly protected species of plants and
fungi, and also may allow deliberately killing, capturing or disturbing the
strictly protected species of animal. The General Director for Environmental
Protection also issues permits for these actions, if an area extends beyond the
boundaries of one region or if it has to do with the efforts made by the
minister responsible for the environment. The Regional Director for
Environmental Protection can authorise activities regarding partially
protected species of plants, fungi or animals that are located in the area of his
operation.
FINAL
26
OCTOBER 2010
Permits may be issued on an application containing, respectively, among
others:
Purpose of implementing the proposed action;
Description of activities, which can be authorized;
Name of one or more species, which are the subject of activities;
Volume or number of individuals that will fall under the permit;
Methods and equipment used for catching, trapping, killing animals or
how the plants / fungi will be relocated and replanted;
Location and time of execution of the activities and the potential risks; and
Indication of who will be catching, disturbing or killing animals.
The Regional Director for Environmental Protection may permit to implement
a project that may adversely affect the Natura 2000 site, where there are
overriding interests of public order and at the same time there are no project
alternatives. In such cases, adequate nature compensation must be provided
to ensure integrity and proper functioning of the Natura 2000 site. In the
permit the Regional Director for Environmental Protection sets out the scope,
location, time and manner of implementation of the nature mitigation and
compensation activities (srodki minimaliyujace oddzialzywania), requiring its
implementation no later than the date of commencement of action that bring
the negative impacts. The project developer covers all nature mitigation and
compensation costs.
The EC Habitats Directive is the basis of Polish law providing for the
protection of many species of conservation interest. Article 12 of the Habitats
Directive provides that Member States shall take the requisite measures to
establish a system of strict protection for the animal species listed in Annex IV
(a) (which includes for instance all species of cetacean and bats) in their
natural range, prohibiting:
All forms of deliberate capture or killing of specimens of these species in
the wild;
Deliberate disturbance of these species, particularly during the period of
breeding, rearing, hibernation and migration;
Deterioration or destruction of breeding sites or resting places.
The prohibition referred to above applied to all stages of life of the animals to
which this Article applies.
In accordance with Water Law regulations, a business is required to possess
water permits if it carries out activities connected with water management

27
OCTOBER 2010
(e.g. operating surface or underground water intakes, discharging wastewater
or rainwater into water or soil) or discharging effluent into the sewage
systems that may contain substances that are particularly harmful to the
aquatic environment. Water permits are issued by the appropriate
administrative body: District Governor (Starosta), Regional Marshal (Marszałek
Województwa) or the Regional Director of Water Management Board
(Regionalny Zarząd Gospodarki Wodnej). Decisions are issued on the application
of the entity carrying out operations. A statement of water management
conditions should be attached to an application as well as other documents
required in a specified case.
Waste owners, depending on the type of activity being carried out, are
required to obtain a waste processing permit / decision approving a
hazardous waste management programme in such a degree of detail
according to the quantities of generated waste. An application for one of the
above decisions to be issued should be submitted to the competent authority,
which depending on the scale of the venture will be either the Regional
Marshal (Marszałek Województwa) or the District Governor (Starosta) in the
place where waste is processed. The total operating area should be provided
in the application. The developer is required to submit an application for
approval of a hazardous waste management programme to the appropriate
authority two months before the operations that create hazardous waste
commence or a change in operations affecting the type and amount of
hazardous waste created or the way it is managed. The Waste Management
Act places a requirement on each owner of waste to maintain a qualitative and
quantitative waste register in accordance with the relevant waste catalogue
and list of hazardous waste. This requirement does not concern producers of
communal wastes and private individuals.
Organisational units emitting pollution into the air are required to obtain a gas
and dust emission permit, in which emission standards are set out. The
issuing of permits for emitting pollution is governed by Regulation of the
Minister of Environment of 20 December 2005 on emission standards of
installation. Permits for emitting pollution into the air are issued for a period
of 10 years. Furthermore, cases of installations that do not require permits for
emitting pollution but require the operation of which needs to be notified are
set out also in Polish law.
An integrated permit is one of the types of permit for emitting substances or
energy and replaces the so-called component permits: for gas and dust
emission into the atmosphere, water permits for discharging the wastewater
into surface water or soil, for waste processing and permits for water

abstraction. These permits are issued by the Regional Marshal (Marszałek
Województwa) or the District Governor (Starosta). The total effect of the
pollution on all elements of the environment must be reflected in the permit as
well as the necessity of applying the best available techniques.
In Poland, there is a system of environmental charges for emitting gas and
dust into the atmosphere, discharging wastewater into the surface water or
the soil, water abstraction, waste disposal or reuse. The charges are set out in
the Regulation of Ministers Council dated 14 November, 2008. The charges
are set each year and are published in an announcement by the Minister of
Environment.

COMPLIANCE
The General or Regional Director for Environmental Protection may at any
time inspect the conditions set out in their issued permits connected with
nature protection or Natura 2000 compensation activities. Regarding the
decisions on environmental conditions issued for all four project components,
the developers can commence the constructions works, which should be
carried out under environmental supervision. The developer, before
commencement of the works, will submit to the Regional Director for
Environmental Protection in Szczecin a notification of having selected a
specialist who will perform the duties of the environmental supervisor. In the
case of any doubts raised by the Regional Director for Environmental
Protection in Szczecin about the competences of the selected person, his/her
candidacy will be forwarded to the Regional Council for Environmental
Protection for approval. In the case of a well-founded negative opinion
expressed by the Council, the developer will propose another candidate.
Environmental supervision includes activities such as:
Training for employees supervising the construction site;
Protective recommendations during the project development;
Inspection of the construction sites;
Reports in the form of periodic reports on the phases of construction works;
Recommendations on monitoring and reports on the performed
monitoring;
Any protective measures and reports on the protective measures taken.
In the case of disagreement between recommendations expressed by the
environmental supervisor and the site manager, the final solution will be
worked out with the participation of both the Regional Director for
Environmental Protection in Szczecin and the developer.
In order to confirm that all environmental conditions are met, inspections will
be made bythe Provincial Environmental Inspectorate (Inspekcja Ochrony
Środowiska). The process of inspections carried out by the Environmental
Protection Inspectorate is governed by the Environmental Protection
Inspectorate Act.
Waste management inspections are carried out by Environmental Protection
Inspectorate Inspectors and by authorised representatives of public offices
that issue decisions regarding waste management or verify required data
submitted on the basis of certain acts. In the event that any irregularities are
confirmed, the Environmental Protection Inspectorate is equipped with a wide
range of instruments to enforce the environmental protection requirements.
FINAL
32
OCTOBER 2010
The Environmental Protection Inspectorate also inspects the companies that
emit gas and dust into the atmosphere. In the event that acceptable emission
limits are exceeded as set out in permits, the provincial environmental
protection inspector levies a financial penalty.
Environmental Protection Inspectorate, as indicated by law, also has the
responsibility to measure noise emissions. Noise requirements are governed
by the Environmental Protection Act and the acoustic standards are set out in
the Regulation of the Minister of the Environment of 14 June 2007 on the
permissible noise levels in the environment. If acoustic standards are
exceeded the environmental protection body, either the District Governor
(Starosta) or the Environmental Protection Inspectorate (Wojewódzki Inspektorat
Ochrony Środowiska), issues a decision regarding the acceptable level of noise.
The integrated permits should be issued for installations together with an
acoustic analysis of the environmental impact.

Preliminary assessment of environmental impacts.
Jolanta Sikorska,
M.Eng.
Summary: The project's potential environmental impact was
assessed by analyzing, among other things, the possible mutual
interactions between the project and the environment, which
may occur at the stage of executing the project as well as during
its operation and decommissioning. The transboundary context
was examined in terms of biotic conditions (fish fauna, migrating
birds, plant cover), and abiotic conditions (geomorphology,
geology and hydrogeology, acoustic climate, emissions,
hazardous incidents such as fires and explosions, tourism,
community impact). The assessment was made on the basis of
the project concept's degree of advancement as at 2007.

consequences of such an event. The optimal methods and the
ways of preventing such situations were analysed, as well as the
factors mitigating their potential consequences. In addition, the
procedures aiming at limiting the extent of threats or secondary
events were analyzed.The analyses and forecasts pertain to the
system of transporting LNG from ships to tanks, the area around
the plant, as well as the areas located in its impact zones during
construction and future operation. The primary emphasis was
placed on the risk to humans, the natural environment and the
existing infrastructure.

OVERVIEW OF POTENTIAL IMPACTS TO BIODIVERSITY
This section provides an overview of the potential impacts to biodiversity as a
result of the project with special reference whether the project or any of its
components will or will not impact critical habitat and species of conservation
interest.
Impacts to biodiversity and critical habitats have been assessed as being not
significant in itself, or become or not significant once mitigation measures have
been implemented. Mitigation measures can be found in Section 7 of this BAP.
6.1
CONSTRUCTION
6.1.1
Breakwater and Jetty
The use of heavy equipment such as pile drivers, dredgers and floating cranes
for the duration of the jetty and breakwater construction near the mouth of the
Swina may disturb marine manammal and fish. As a result some species may
avoid the area during pile driving operations, and the fish migrations between
the Bay and the Lagoon may be temporarily disturbed. However, on
completion of works they are likely to return to the area. The area affected is a
not a critical habitat for mammals or fish.
In order to minimise the potential for disturbance of fish and mammals from
underwater noise, vibration piling will be the primary method of piling.
Exceptionally, if due to technical reasons the vibration piling will not be
possible to conduct, a hydraulic hammer will be used. Soft start procedures
will be applied to piling operations. If piling will have to be executed during
herring spawning, the piling will be reduced to technologically possible
minimum. Mitigation measures in the Decision on Environmental conditions
include a financial contribution towards a fish restocking programme over a
period of three years. Overall these mitigation and compensation measure will
reduce this impact to not significant.
Dredging and dredge disposal will lead to a loss or disturbance of seabed
habitat. The dredged area will be approximately 2 km2. Dredge spoil disposal
will occur at two designated sites of both altogether of approximately 15 km2
(12 km2 for the breakwater and 3 km2 for the jetty). Many benthic species are
tolerant of displacement and/or smothering, however, some inevitable loss of
benthic organisms will occur. No protected or unique species are present in
the area affected. Benthic communities are likely to recover; however, species
abundance and distribution may be altered due to changed hydrodynamic
FINAL
40
OCTOBER 2010
conditions. This impact is considered not significant given the temporary loss
of a limited area of benthic communities and no notable secondary impacts to
fisheries productivity, marine mammals or birds.
The creation of the breakwater will add hard substrate in a predominantly
sandy environment. The structure will quickly become colonised by a
possibly diverse community of mussels, crustaceans (e.g.barnacles), macroalgae and other organisms that are currently also found on the existing
breakwater. The breakwater will also provide an important resting ground
for waders and gulls in the area. The impact of the breakwater on organisms
can be considered positive and is not included in Table 6.1.
6.1.2
LNG Terminal
The construction of the gas transmission installation and communication
infrastructure connecting the jetty with the LNG terminal will result in the
temporary loss of a 90 m strip of embryonic dune and white dune habitat
(habitat types 2110 and 2120 according Annex I of the EU Habitats Directive).
This habitat will largely regenerate after construction ceases although a
permanent loss of this habitat will occur along a narrow strip in the vicinity of
the proposed infrastructure (flyover) connecting the breakwater with the
terminal. This habitat is not considered critical habitat. This impact will be
not significant.
The impact of construction works on coastal dunes with herbaceous
vegetation (habitat type 2130 grey dunes) will be limited to an area of 0.3 ha.
This habitat will regenerate following construction and therefore this impact is
expected to be not significant. Similarly, about 0.46 ha of humid dune slacks
(habitat type 2190) will be directly impacted, but due to the small spatial
extent of the impact area, this impact will be not significant.
A loss of forested areas will result from tree felling and surface leveling
required for the installation of the LNG Terminal facilities. Mixed forest and
coniferous forest on the dunes (habitat type 2180) constitutes approximately
3.2 ha, i.e. less than 12% of the forested area within the LNG Terminal area
and is located on the outer areas of the forest. This habitat will be partially
preserved for screening purposes and impacts to this habitat will be minimal.
Although there will be a loss of habitat, impacts to this priority habitat will be
not significant.
In the south part of the site an area of 0.89 ha of humid intra-dune hollows
(habitat 2190) is found within an area of peat bog habitat. Common
Bladderwort (Utricularia vulgaris) and the Warnstorfia cfr. pseudostraminea moss
FINAL
41
OCTOBER 2010
are regarded as species of particular importance within the peat bog habitat.
Impacts to the aquifer will result in the small areas of this habitat becoming
dried out temporarily although an area of 0.43 ha of this habitat will be
preserved in the screening green strip. After completion of construction,
conditions of the impact areas will return to normal. Impacts to humid intradune hollows will be not significant.
Within the habitats identified at the northern margin of the LNG Terminal
site, two known areas with a high number of amphibians (eg Moor Frog Rana
arvalis) will be damaged. Adverse impacts on one or some generations of
amphibian reproduction will occur although this will be spatially limited.
Amphibians have been moved to substitute habitats as per respective
Permission from RDOS (April 2009) and thus impacts to amphibians will be
not significant.
Approximately 30 ha of planted pine forests within the LNG Terminal site will
be removed. Any protected plant species occurring in the area will be
replanted in the adjacent forests managed by the Międzyzdroje Forest
Inspectorate. Although some of the pine forest will be removed, mitigation
measures to transplant protected plants to adjacent forest reduce the impact to
protected species to not significant.
Plants such as common ivy (Hedera helix), guelder rose (Viburnum opulus)
found across the project site are likely to be impacted during the construction
phase. In addition, there are a number of more sensitive plant species within
the project area which would suffer at a local or regional level if impacted by
construction works e.g. creeping rattlesnake plantain (Goodyera repens).
Mitigation to minimise impacts to the sensitive species Goodyera repens,
Epipactis atrorubrns and Utricularia vulgaris includes the translocation of these
species to nearby areas. Impacts to vegetation will be not significant.
Common and abundant fungi species occur within the LNG Terminal site.
Rare, endangered and protected species may occur within the site, however,
these are common across the wider area (Western Pomerania) and therefore
the terminal site is not a critical habitat for these species. Impacts to fungi
communities from disturbance are not significant.
Noise resulting from tree felling and other construction works will cause
disturbance to some invertebrates, amphibian, reptiles and mammals,
including protected species. Impacts will not affect these species at a
population level. Some bird species such as the protected woodlark (Lullula
arborea) and the red-backed shrike (Lanius collurio) are likely to find alternative
habitats to breed nearby. Tree felling will take place outside of the bird
breeding season (from mid-March to the end of August) to minimise
disturbance to breeding birds. In addition, to minimise impacts to hibernating
FINAL
42
OCTOBER 2010
bats, felling will start at the end of August, from the north of the site towards
the south. The described mitigation measures together with the temporary
duration of increased noise indicate that impacts to fauna will be not
significant.
6.1.3
Pipeline
Construction
Habitat loss that may be caused by vegetation clearance necessary for the
construction of the pipeline is minimised due to the routing of the pipeline
parallel to existing pipeline corridors. Overall, the 80 km of pipeline require
the clearing of only 15 ha of forest and woodland. The width of the regular
construction strip will be 26 m, however, in forest areas it is reduced to 18 m.
Some of the cleared strip will be replanted but a 4 m wide zone free of trees
and bushes must be maintained. In areas of conservation concern, works will
be strictly limited to a reduced working strip to minimise disruption to
habitats and species. Reinstatement of the working strip after construction,
including replacement of vegetation that was temporarily transplanted will
mitigate the disruption to habitats.
The pipeline route passes through 1,370 m of thermophilous inland calcerous
grasslands (priority habitat type 6120) and 1,800m of dry heathland (habitat
4030); it is anticipated that these habitats will recover during the operational
phase of the project following construction activities. These measures reduce
the impact of habitat loss to being not significant.
Bird breeding may be disrupted by construction activities or tree felling.
However, these impacts are not significant due to mitigation measures to avoid
construction during the breeding season, i.e. construction only occurs during
two autumn and winter periods. In addition, according to the Decision of
RDOS, in areas in close proximity to protection zones designed for the whitetailed eagle, construction activities will not be carried out between 1 January
to 30 September, and along the whole route trees or bushes will not be felled
during the vegetation and birds breeding season, i.e. the period from 1 March
to 30 October. An additional measure to reduce the impact of construction on
birds is that before commencement of works in a particular section, an
ornithologist will check the route.
Habitats may be damaged by construction trench drainage. However, in
sections with high ground water table, the construction trench will be
temporarily drained by a special method that minimises drainage of the
surrounding habitats and reduces the impact to being not significant.
FINAL
43
OCTOBER 2010
Impacts to flora and fauna within Natura 2000 sites due to pipeline
construction are reduced to not significant due to the mitigation measures
outlined in Chapter 7.
6.2
OPERATION
6.2.1
Shallow sand bars present within the external harbour may be lost due to a
change in hydrodynamic conditions. Mitigation measures to create a similar
habitat through a foreshore nourishment programme directly to the east of the
breakwater will reduce the impact to not significant.
The beach to the east of the new breakwater may be adversely impacted by
the change in hydrodynamic regime. Beach replenishment is foreseen if postconstruction monitoring demonstrates that the beach to the east is adversely
affected by the structure. This impact is therefore not significant.
The beach and dune system bordering the external harbour will shift to a
mature dune system at the expense of a limited area that is currently
conducive to pioneer vegetation. However, pioneer vegetation will continue
to be present to the east of the new breakwater. This impact is not significant.
The presence of the breakwater and jetty poses a risk of collision with lowflying birds during fog conditions. Directional lights will be used to
illuminate the marine facilities in fog conditions, while keeping light pollution
to a minimum during night time. Monitoring will be carried out to establish
the magnitude of this impact. This impact is not significant.
6.2.2
LNG Terminal
The planned pipeline connecting the jetty with the terminal will be routed
overhead on columns. The spacing of these columns was designed to
minimise interference with the grey dune habitats (priority habitat type 2130).
Earthworks are expected to promote regeneration of some of the open habitats
(e.g. embryonic shifting dune and white dune complexes - habitat types 2110
and 2120). In the areas where no permanent land take occurs and provided
that the habitats are modified to a minimum extent as per intended mitigation,
the dune habitats are expected to regenerate fast. Impacts to dune habitats
will be not significant during the operational phase of the project.
FINAL

OCTOBER 2010
Species of fungi are likely to be disturbed or lost during the construction
phase; however fungi communities are expected to recover following
construction, during the operational phase of the project. This impact will be
not significant.
The loss of approximately 30 ha of pine forest from tree clearance will reduce
available feeding grounds for bats, food resources for insectivorous bats and
disturbe bat migration routes. Artificial lighting emitted from the LNG
Terminal at night will attract nocturnal insects (eg moths), which may not only
affect the population of these invertebrates but also the available food
resources for bats although this has not been fully confirmed. The wintering
grounds of bats should not be adversely affected by the project provided that
forest stands are maintained around the facilities and appropriate mitigation
is carried out. This will ensure that species affected during construction will
return to the site. Impacts to bats will be not significant.
Similar to bats, should appropriate mitigation be carried out, bird species
affected from the clearing of the pine forest will return to the area during the
operational phase of the project. Small trees and shrubs (e.g. hawthorn, wild
European elderberry etc.) present on site will be favourable for these species.
The tall parts of the LNG terminal – being mainly the LNG storage tanks with
a height of 50 m and the 65 m tall flare – may pose a hindrance for bird
migration at the terminal location, which is near one of the main European
flyways for migrating birds. Field studies being performed to date in the
terminal area have, however, shown that fortunately the migration route is
apparently not directly at the Project site, but nevertheless PLNG is obliged to
undertake various mitigation measures, including placing appropriate
lighting on the tank shells as well as continued monitoring. With this
mitigation measures, impacts to birds will be not significant.
Various hymenoptera populations are likely to recover within the LNG
Terminal site during operation particularly if a stable population of seed
plants regenerates following earth works from the construction phase. It is
anticipated that invertebrates including protected species (e.g. ground beetles,
wasp spider) will flourish within the vicinity of forest stands and the lake.
Impacts to invertebrates will be not significant.
6.2.3
Pipeline
Regular pipeline operation is not associated with adverse impacts to the
environment. The pipeline is buried, and only occasionally tree removal will
be carried out to prevent trees and shrubs from damaging the pipeline. These
FINAL
45
OCTOBER 2010
activities will take place outside the nesting season of birds of conservation
interest.
The pipeline will be embedded within a layer of gravel sand. If the trench is
cutting an impervious layer of silt or clay, there could be a lasting drainage
effect to the overlying and/or adjoining wet habitats. As appropriate and
required, additional mitigation measures will be implemented as per water
permits still to be obtained (This may include isolating of trench sections with
clay and loam barriers when the trench is filled back where necessary).
6.3
DECOMMISSIONING
The impacts that may result from decommissioning of any of the project
components are comparable to those associated with the construction phase.
It is currently not planned to remove any of the project components at the end
of the project lifetime. However, if decommissioning is required, disposal of
hazardous materials, demolition of structures and landscaping of the site will
occur in accordance with the environmental regulations at the time.
6.4
TRANSBOUNDARY IMPACTS
A distance of 4.5 km separates the project location in Poland from the German
border. The closest marine protected area on the German side is is the Natura
SCI Site Pommersche Bucht mit Oderbank (DE1652301) at about 30 km off shore
to the north-west of the LNG Project. In addition, there is the harbour
porpoise which is listed as an Annex IV species in need of strict protection
under the Habitat Directive.
Impacts which have been considered in this BAP-assessment that could have
potential transboundary impacts include an unplanned gas explosion, LNG
tanker spills, impacts to marine mammals and herring spawning from
underwater noise from piling activities during construction of the jetty as well
as impacts to marine organisms from sediment plumes. Based on the current
project design and proposed mitigation measures put forward in this BAP as
per Table 7.1 and 7.2, it is expected that the project will not result in significant
transboundary impacts to biodiversity.
FINAL
46
OCTOBER 2010
6.5
CUMULATIVE IMPACTS
Combined effects from LNG Project Components:
Whilst no explicit, overall cumulative impact assessment has been undertaken
as part of the EIA process for the LNG Project, the separate EIAs (and the
summary “Memorandum1”) have to some extent discussed this topic for each
component. Because the overall project straddles across three spatially
different areas each with different flora and fauna at risk, (i) the pipeline
route, (ii) the LNG terminal site and (iii) the external harbour (breakwater and
jetty) and dredge disposal sites, there is little chance of a significant
cumulative impact to biodiversity stemming from the interrelations of the
project components. The impacts of the individual project components
concentrate in these respective areas and there is little spatial overlap or
synergy in impacts to biodiversity to be expected.
Cumulative Impacts of the LNG Project with other plans or projects:
With respect to cumulative impacts resulting from the LNG Project and other
projects in the region, no significant impact potential has been identified.
The EIAs report the following projects to take place at the same time as the
LNG Project between the present up to about 2014:
Construction of a road tunnel under the Swina River to connect Wolin
and Uznam Islands as part of National Road No.3 (E75)
•
Construction of a parking lot with 75 spots for trucks at the EuroTerminal site (located on the right bank of the Swina about 5km from the
river mouth, and approx. 2 km from the LNG Terminal site)
•
Modernization and construction of new buildings and a new dock at the
Marine Renovation Shipyard (located on the right bank of the Swina
about 3.5 km from the river mouth and approx. 2 km from LNG
Terminal site)
•
Several various small projects in/around several villages along the Gas
Pipeline.
None of the above projects are in the immediate vicinity of the proposed LNG
Project construction sites and thus there are no expected cumulative impacts
to biodiversity due to construction area noise, emissions, or other effects.

APPROPRIATE ASSESSMENT
Impacts to species and habitats were considered as part of the EIAs, decision
documents and gap analysis for this project and the results of which are
presented in this BAP. Particular attention has been paid to impacts to Natura
2000 sites, as per Polish regulatory requirements, since the project site is
within or in the vicinity of several Natura 2000 sites (see Chapter 2).
Screening as part of an the appropriate assessment (habitat assessment) of the
impacts of the project and project components on the integrity and
conservation objectives of Natura 2000 sites has been undertaken for this
project. The screening has established that the project does not adversely
affect the integrity of the Natura 2000 sites and therefore the project
components are exempted from a full appropriate assessment.
For one species, the marsh frog (Rana arvalis) which is listed in Annex IV of the
Habitat Directive as a species in need of strict protection, a derogation (1) has
been granted to move specimens of the frog to alternative sites and that the
success of the undertaking will be monitored. The species is considered a
common species in Poland in a favourable conservation status, typical of the
habitats in the study area and is encountered in many communities across the
region. The project site itself is not a crucial area for the maintenance of their
population. The species habitat extends over a wide area to the east of the site.
Despite being assessed as not detrimental to the integrity of Natura 2000 or
any species, the Competent Authority has imposed a number of monitoring
measures to ensure this indeed being the case. If the monitoring suggests that
impacts are occurring, the Competent Authority may request additional
mitigation or compensation measures to offset any adverse impacts.

PROPOSED MITIGATION MEASURES
The following tables present the mitigation measures for the project as
stipulated by the Competent Authorities permitting and approval conditions.
The tables include a number of additional mitigation measures to comply with
international standards and international standards covering Natura 2000
sites.
The source of the mitigation measure – either Competent Authority (“CA”) or
supplementary measure agreed by Sponsors with Lenders (”suppl.”) is
indicated in the tables. As can be seen from the action item tables, the
Competent Authorities have set out a comprehensive set of mitigation
requirements that make up the largest part of the action items reflected in the
tables. Where mitigation measures are not yet specified in detail, further
required actions have been added as well as the Performance Indicators in the
last column were inserted in addition. The columns indicating
“Species/habitat - Desired Outcome”, “Responsibility”, “Time Scale”,
“Additional Action” and “Performance Indicator” were supplemented by the
Consultant.
The tables focus on those mitigation measures related to the protection of
biodiversity and habitats (Further details and mitigation measures regarding
other environmental impacts can be found in the ESAP).
Mitigation measures for this project have followed the mitigation hierarchy as
set out by the EBRD‟s PR6. Mitigation measures have been designed firstly to
avoid impacts then to minimise, mitigate and offset impacts with the aim to
achieve no net loss or a net gain. Avoidance of impacts to biodiversity, species
and habitats was initially accomplished by appropriate site selection.
A performance indicator has been added that corresponds to the reporting
and communications strategy and that allows for the tracking and periodic
review of how the BAP is being implemented. This ensures that the client has
a means to monitor progress towards targets and objectives as well as to
measure performance in their achievement. Indicators are set at site and
company levels depending on needs.
An important condition imposed by the Competent Authorities requires that the
implementation of the entire project and application of mitigation and monitoring
measures is done under environmental supervision, i.e. under the supervision of
environmental protection specialist. The environmental protection specialist
FINAL
52
OCTOBER 2010
must have documented experience in this field, as well as a higher education
degree in environmental protection. The details of this environmental
supervision are outlined in Section 4.3.

recycling (part of) overflow water, overflow with bottom exit).
4) Apply Feedback Monitoring:
Depending on actual construction sequence: It is planned that all
dredging will be carried out in the area enclosed by the new
breakwater – with just about 10% access to the open sea.
Currently (beginning November 2010) there is 800m of
breakwater built and it is planned to be 70% complete prior to any
dredging.
In case of changes in the above envisaged sequence(ie dredging
takes place with wider open access to the sea), feedback
monitoring will be applied as follows: Turbidity levels generated
by dredging in the near shore area are to be monitored at the time
of dredging. Should turbidity measurements taken at 1 m below
surface at 600m downdrift of dredging operation exceed the
range of natural background levels, then the Contractor shall
adjust the operation by either (i) slow down dredging; (ii) move
dredge location to areas less prone plume dispersion; or (iii)
cease dredging.

Organic earth material (humus) should be gathered near the
construction site and subsequently used to improve the quality of
the surface area at places (and any surplus should be supplied to
interested parties for a similar use). It is recommended that humus
be stored separately in heaps to prevent mixing with natural
ground and degradation due to changes in temperature, humidity
and weathering and to preserve the microorganisms living in it. It
is particularly important in the case of humus collected in areas
with high natural value, where the material contains rhizomes,
corms, resting spores and other forms of phytocenoses of such
areas. Such an operation should be carried out beyond the plantgrowing season, ie beyond the period from 1 March to 30 October.

MONITORING PROGRAMME
Monitoring measures presented in the tables below have been extracted from
the decision documents of the Competent Authority for each of the project
components. The tables below focus on the monitoring requirements for
biodiversity and habitats.
Overarching conditions of the environmental monitoring programme that
apply to all project components include:
Environmental monitoring should cover both the site of the project
including ecologically sensitive boardering areas and the environment of
the beach and dunes and the environment of the beach and dunes,.
The detailed scale and scope of the monitoring shall be determined under
the Environmental Supervision.5
The monitoring should be performed separately for each of the 4 seasons
(spring, summer, autumn, winter), at the designated reference stations.
The results and conclusions from the monitoring research shall be
submitted to the Regional Director for Environmental Protection by the end
of each calendar year.
The scope of the monitoring shall be submitted for approval to the Regional
Director for Environmental Protection in Szczecin; it may be subject to
verification by the Regional Director for Environmental Protection in
Szczecin and, if necessary, it will be supplemented with the issues
indicated by this authority; and
The Regional Director for Environmental Protection in Szczecin, according to
the Decision on Environmental Conditions of RDOS, January 2010 (ref. no.
RDOŚ-32-WOOŚ.TŚ-6613/37-9/09/at) on the basis of the provided results of
the monitoring, may decide, for example, to require additional mitigation
measures or compensatory actions as appropriate.
All monitoring should be outlined in more detail and consistency, including
crucial problems/impacts, questions to answer, statistical methods, suitable
indicators, frequency of monitoring (including seasons) and actions in case of
identification of adverse impacts. Keystone species may be identified that can
be used as indicators to detect any significant. The design of a comprehensive
monitoring programme will require input from specialists and the scope shall
be discussed with and approved by the Competent Authority.
