SOIL AND LAND. 4.4.1 Flood protection of Ognica In immediate vicinity of the Dopływ z Rynicy there are soils formed on organic formations (fens). At some distance away there are also fluvial sands and a small patch of glacial till. On the basis of the information available in the National Environmental Monitoring System19 (2015), there is no land that does not meet the standards set out in the Regulation of the Minister of the Environment of 1 September 2016 on the method of land surface pollution assessment (Polish Journal of Laws of 2016, item 1395).
SOIL AND LAND. 5.4.1 Upgrade of the wharf of RZGW icebreaker base in Gryfino. The construction site is located in an urban area and, therefore, there is no valuable soil there; the land in the entire area of the works will be transformed. After completion of works the topsoil, except paved areas, will be restored with fertile substrate. According to the Design Documentation, the estimated volume of earth used for site grading is about 150 m³. The soil used for the works will meet the standards specified in the regulation of the Minister of Environment dated 1 September 2016 on the conduct of the assessment of contamination of the surface of earth (Polish Journal of Laws 2016, item 1395). No works related to checking the quality of soil were performed at the Project Documentation drafting stage. The responsibility for meeting the standards rests with the Contractor. The detailed procedure of checking soil parameters will be described in the Quality Assurance Plan and if it is necessary to store soil outside the site, the Contractor will provide information on the planned quantity to be moved and place of storage in the Waste Handling Plan.
SOIL AND LAND. The adverse impact on soil surface and land will be mitigated by implementing the following mitigating measures described in Annex 1 to EMP), which will, among other things, serve the purpose of: § limiting soil resource losses related to land acquisitions (items 1, 23, 33, 34, 37, 39, 45, 54, 55, 99, 100); § safe handling of waste (items poz. 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 127), § reducing the risk of soil contamination at the stage of the works (items 7, 38, 48, 51, 52, 56, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 94, 95, 118).
SOIL AND LAND. The Works Contract 3D.3 implementation impact on soils will only relate to the construction stage and will be mainly associated with: • removal of the top soil layer, • earthworks, • modification of soil structure at temporarily acquired land for technological roads and construction sites, • possible pollution the soil due to emergency leakage of diesel derivatives from transport equipment and machinery. Except for the listed impact forms there shall be no interference in the soil layer. No new structures will be erected or other structures will be erected. These impacts will be local in nature, and no significant changes in soil and water conditions or soil productivity can be expected after completion of the construction phase and proper land reclamation. At keeping the environmental protection and H&S standards there shall be no significant impact on and deterioration of the quality of soil in connection with the performance of construction works. No mass movements (landslides, creeping, subsidence, etc.) or other negative geodynamic processes related to e.g. tectonics of the analyzed area have been or are not expected to occur in the subsoil in the area of the Works Contract 3D.3. Implementation of the planned Works Contract shall not cause adverse impact on soils and subsoil, both at the stage of implementation and operation. The mitigation measures planned to limit the Works Contract 3D.3 implementation impact on the quality of soils and grounds were tabulated in Appendix 1 to this EMP and described in Chapter 6.4.
