PREFACE One of the most important water resources in the Eastern Plan region is the river Bregalnica. The region does not have other big water resources, which makes the meaning of this water flow more important and the proper exploitation of the potentials of the river Bregalnica and the confluents of its drainage – basin is a precondition for further sustainable development of the whole region. According to this, the Center for development of the Eastern plan region has made a project task, on which basis this Study for opportunities for regulation of the river Bregalnica (mini accumulations, cascades, dams), has been made. Making of such a study is a complex work. In the frames of the Study the following thematic areas are included: -

Hydrography and hydrology (Physical characteristics of the drainage-basin, climate characteristics, erosion, regime of flowing, alluvium analysis); Possibilities for exploitation of the water potential of the river drainage-basin (with a special accent of the possibility of construction of small accumulations); Possibilities for regulation of the water flow (through construction of dams of the river flow and regulation of the river-bed in the drainage-basin) Influence of the project over the living environment (detecting the weaknesses, possibilities for their overcoming, identification of the positive influences of the project over the living environment).

A detailed analysis of the existing situation is given, as well as overtaking certain activities and recommendations and identifications of the concrete projects which come out from the Study, so that the key activities can be determined, certain instruments and measures, priority activities, indicative budget, responsibilities and time frame. With the Study, without getting into detailed technical solutions, the possibilities in the Eastern plan region are given for construction of small accumulations, dams and regulation of the river-beds, in order to focus the further planning in this issue towards higher phases of projection and finding means for it. I will use this opportunity to thank the Mayors of the Municipalities involved in the Eastern plan region and the employees in the Center for development of the Eastern plan region for their full cooperation when making this Study.

Study for possibilities of regulation of the river Bregalnica (mini accumulations, cascades, dams)

General Introduction Republic of Macedonia is in the group of countries which do not have enough water resources, and the lack of them is especially felt in certain periods of the year. The problem that was mentioned as global is the main characteristic of the water resources in Republic of Macedonia, and that is unequal allocation of the water in time, space and quality. Therefore, the biggest water resources are disposed in the western parts of the country, while the eastern part, including the Eastern plan region is faced with constant lack of water. The lack of water is also a consequence of not using the existing water potentials, first and foremost of the river Bregalnica as the most important river in the region and one of the biggest confluents of the river Vardar. The state with the quality and especially with the quantity of the water in the Eastern plan region is unsatisfactory. That is already shown by the disturbed natural balance in the water flows. The water potentials with which this region disposes are not used enough. During the summer periods, as a result of the decreased water flow and un-built irrigation systems, not enough water can be provided for irrigating the agricultural surfaces, with which the revenue and the yield is decreased significantly, although the country in general, especially Eastern plan region has comparative advantages for the agriculture. At the same time, in certain periods of the year biological minimum of the water flows is questioned, too. During the winter and especially in the spring period, as a result of the snow melting, the level of the water in the existing accumulations is increased. In order to avoid the danger of flooding the agricultural surfaces when letting the water flow from the accumulations in the river-beds, it is needed that the river Bregalnica and its confluents to be regulated. Besides the influence of the human activities, the quality of water is directly dependant on the quantity of the water, which means that the bigger quantity of water is equal to increased capacity of the water body for self-purification. The quantity of water is connected to the climate changes. These factors are the reason for increased quantity of water in the spring time, as a result of increased rainfalls and snow melting from the mountains and appropriate decrease of the quantity of water in the summer period as a result of the evaporation from the high temperatures and dry periods. All of the above imposes the need of regular monitoring of the quality and quantity of the water flows in the Eastern plan region and undertaking measures for improvement of their bad situation. One of the most important water resources in the region is the river Bregalnica. The region does not dispose with other big water resources, and in the future, the water supply and irrigation should be taken into consideration to be done by additional accumulations which should be built on the river Bregalnica and on its confluents. For that reason, the Center for development of the Eastern plan region, as investor and Urban Rural Consulting Skopje, as developer agreed to make: Study for the possibilities of regulation of the river Bregalnica (mini accumulations, dams and cascades), with which the priority activities will be identified and an Action plan will be made for the following period. Methodological approach which the developer applied when preparing the Study for the possibilities of regulation of the river Bregalnica (mini accumulations, dams and cascades), is including all the interested parties and direct beneficiaries, applying the principles of: - Ecological – social and economic concept, which includes a complete comprise and protection of the biodiversity in the water resources;

Number

Description of the region The situation of the Eastern region covers the drainage-basin of the river Bregalnica, occupying 14% from the territory of R. Macedonia with a surface of 3537 square kilometers. The Region is divided into 11 municipalities (Berovo, Vinica, Delcevo, Zrnovci, Karbinci, Kocani, Makedonska Kamenica, Pehcevo, Probistip, Cesinovo-Oblesevo and Stip), which, regarding urbanism are divided into 217 settlements, out of which 209 categorized as rural areas. This region on the east part bounds with R. Bulgaria and the communication with the neighbouring country is realized through the border crossing Delcevo in the Municipality of Delcevo. There is a possibility of activating the crossings Klepalo, Ajdutska Cesma and Crna Skala. The region has almost four times smaller birth-rate compared to the birth-rate of the population in the country. The total number of the inhabitants in the region is 181.858. The population density is 51 inhabitants per square kilometer. But, because of the permanent process of depopulation, there is a big number of abandoned villages, villages with about 100 inhabitants and villages with significantly high ageing index. This situation leads to concentration of about 66 % of the population in the urban areas. In the following table, there is the number of inhabitants in the Municipalities of the Eastern plan region according to the last census of the population and property in Republic of Macedonia from 2002 and the anticipated number of inhabitants based on the birth-rate and the migration processes in this region in the past period.

Climate conditions in the region are favorable for agricultural development, especially for rice production. Rice fields in the Eastern region cover about 95% of the total rice production in Republic of Macedonia. The gardens and plough fields as part of the arable surfaces are 84%. Agricultural land takes an area of 165.639 ha i.e. 14% of the total agricultural surface in the country, and 88.075 ha i.Đľ. 53.1% are pastures. The total surface which is under woods in the region is 135.378 ha i.e. 13% of the total woods in Republic of Macedonia, which is 38% of the total territory of the region. From the raw materials and other resources which this region disposes of, the lead and zinc minerals from the mines of Zletovo, Dobrevo and Kamenica. Annual production of minerals in these mines is 1.000.000 tones.

From the nonmetal mineral production, the most significant are the asbestos, kaolin clays, opal as well as the bed of coal-lignite “Brik” in Berovo, which annual exploitation is 100.000 tones. There is a big potential for development and export in the livestock production, especially at the goat and sheep breeding. The potential is big for development of the dairy and meat industry because 40% of the pig breeding in Republic of Macedonia is realized in the region. From the water resources, the most significant is the river Bregalnica where there are two high dams on the accumulations “Kalimanci” and “Berovsko Ezero”. Eastern region does not have other big water resources so in the future the water supply and irrigation should be resolved with building new accumulations on the river Bregalnica as well as on the other rivers in the drainage-basin or the river Bregalnica. Aim of the made Study General aim of the Study: Sustainable development of the Eastern plan region and sustainable management of the water resources of the drainage-basin of the river Bregalnica and exploitation of the unexploited water potential. Concrete aims of the Study: ¾ Possibilities seen for regulation of the drainage-basin and the river-bed of the river Bregalnica, possibilities for building mini accumulations, as well as possibilities for exploiting the water potential; ¾ Documented basic information and established preliminary approach for prefeasibility study; ¾

Regarding the issues related to construction of small accumulations on the water flows in the drainage-basin of the river Bregalnica, there are certain location, and for part of those locations there are main projects made for their realization. The purpose of these mini accumulations is mostly irrigation of the agricultural surfaces, water supply and small part is for tourism development near the defined locations. About the regulation of the flow of river Bregalnica, especially through the city areas, it can be concluded that in the biggest part of the settlements through which the water flows pass (Bregalnica, Kocanska Reka, Kamenicka Reka, Vinicka Reka, Pehcevska Reka, Orizarska Reka, Zrnovka etc.) there is a regulation made, except for the city of Stip, where the river-bed of the river Bregalnica is not regulated at all, although there is a preliminary project made for regulation of river Bregalnica through Stip long about 20 km. About the available foundations, it is found that they are not on a satisfactory level, but they are good enough for making a preliminary Study, as one of the starting elaborates for making an investment-technical documentation. In the further phases of the projection, it is needed the foundations on an appropriate level to be updated or made. SWOT analysis of the current condition of the drainage-basin of the river Bregalnica According to the data and analysis given in the profile of the region and of the situation with the water flows in the drainage-basin of the river Bregalnica, as well as from the available documentation related to this issue, and from the set goals in the Project task, a strategic analysis has been made of the current condition of the drainage-basin of the river Bregalnica. On one side, there are internal attributes of the region, so-called strengths and weaknesses, and on the other side, there are factors which come out of the external surrounding of the region and also factors over which the region does not have any direct influence, i.e. opportunities and threats. This so-called SWOT analysis is a strategic tool for assessment of

-14-


Study for possibilities of regulation of the river Bregalnica (mini accumulations, cascades, dams)

the current situation, as well as a tool for defining ways and approach when selecting concrete measures for improvement and development of the current condition. Below there are the factors of the SWOT analysis in the context of the needs of the Study. Table: Review of the evidenced factors when making the SWOT analysis Strengths - Strategic plans made for development of the region and the Municipalities which treat the drainage-basin of Bregalnica - Having professional and experienced staff - Having center for development of the Eastern plan region - Having long string of hydrological data - Construction of the system Zletovica - Conditions for mountain tourism development - Developed agriculture - Good cooperation with the local selfgovernments in the region - Ecologically clean environment - Border with a country – EU member

Opportunities - Using experiences from the developed countries for regulation of drainage-basins - EU and other funds - Development of the mountain tourism - Public private partnership - Private investments - Regional connection and cooperation with the neighbouring regions - Development enabled by the decentralization - Using the state investment funds - Attracting domestic and foreign investments - Using the pre-accession funds from the EU

Weaknesses - Lack of a good network for following the hydrological data of the confluents in the drainage-basin - Lack of general hydrological analysis model of flow out of the whole drainage-basin - Small number of small accumulations in the drainage-basin - Uncontrolled usage of the river-bed and water flows for pumping of the alluvium - Failure of the old water management enterprises - Not finished regulation of the river-beds especially through the city areas (Stip) - Unequal flow out of the water flows in the drainage-basin - Splintered agricultural lots - Construction land owned by the central government - Lack of business investments - Lack of capital - Weak local economy and low standard of the citizens - Extensive (old) agriculture Threats - Influence of the local politics - Lack of competences - Rigid administration - No cooperation between the regions - Lack of financial means - Recession - Insufficient information and education of the agriculturists - Unpreparedness for IPA - Population emigration - Small donations for the region from the central government - Small subventions for agriculture and tourism development - Incomplete implementation of the decentralization

Recommendations after SWOT Analysis: - Preparation of a complete hydrological modeling for the whole drainage-basin by contemporary methods - Ending the regulation of the river-beds especially through the settlements - Construction of a bigger number of small accumulations, in order to accumulate water for equal usage during the whole year - Using the accumulations for development of the mountain tourism, fishing, recreation - Protection of the banks of the water flows from erosion and wild digging of the river-beds - Esthetic arrangement of the water flows especially through the settlements

Study for possibilities of regulation of the river Bregalnica (mini accumulations, cascades, dams)

Connection and Compliance of the Study with other relevant plans, programmes, strategies and positive regulation Mutual compatibility of the goals of the Study The study for possibilities of regulation of the river Bregalnica has a few specific goals which when reviewed individually, if they were realized, they could negatively, conflict and cumulatively – synergic influence the realization of other goal of the Study and that’s why an identification of their mutual compatibility is needed. If the goals are incompatible, defining measures which should be overtaken is needed, in order to realize the goals with less, shortterm negative influences. As a tool for identification of the mutual compatibility of the goals of the Study, the consultants were using a Matrix. Filled in matrix for compatibility of the individual goals of the Study for possibilities of regulation of the river Bregalnica is given in a Table below. Large compatibility between the goals of the Study can be seen regarding systematic review of all the previous documents, studies, projects prepared for the drainage-basin of the river Bregalnica in order to identify priority projects for which a general assessment has been made about the financial expenditures for construction and maintenance, as well as the goal which examines the possibilities for development and improvement of the eco-tourism. A positive cumulative effect is expected from the realization of several goals over the protection and continuous improvement of the existing water resources in the region, through which it would be enabled improvement of the coastal land and preservation of the water ecosystems. Of course, a positive cumulative effect is expected also over the economic-social life of the population through providing safe drinking water, water for hygienic and improvement of the quality of life, providing appropriate distribution of the water of which the farmers will have the biggest effect, more employed young people from the Eastern plan region, recruiting construction workers for construction of the individual projects and development of the small and middle enterprises in the region. Realization of the goals for regulation of the drainage-basin, through construction and everyday work of the mini accumulation, rubber partitions, mini hydroelectric and operations about the regulation of the rivers in the settlements and necessary contemporary infrastructure needed for their continuous functioning is in conflict with the protections of the environment. It is expected that the project activities which will follow after the adoption of the Study, providing financial means and preparation of the project documentation for every priority project, to cause (during the construction of the objects or infrastructure) negative influence over the different elements of the environment (disorder of the quality of air, generating different types of waste from the List of waste, creation of noise, spending energy, disorder of the biodiversity etc In the operational phase of the planned objects not significant negative influences are expected, but in any way, the incompatibility of the goals will be overcome through the proposed measures for avoiding, decrease or alleviation of the negative influences from the realization of the goals of the Study.

Connection and compatibility of the Study for possibilities of regulation of the river Bregalnica with other strategic plan documents Providing equal and sustainable development of the municipalities, and through them of the whole Eastern plan region and Republic of Macedonia, is a continuous process, which is realized through proposing, preparation, adoption and realization of big number of strategic plan documents which cover different areas and zones which are basis for human living in social and economic welfare caring about the protection and promotion of the living environment. On a national level, the responsible institutions and governmental bodies adopted the most significant strategic documents which give the direction of development of these areas, and also, within the frames of the Eastern plan region the Council for development of the plan region adopted the basic plan documents which are of interest of all the eleven municipalities. On the local level, the municipalities usually have strategic documents prepared from the area of economy (Strategy for economic development), tourism, sustainable development, profile for presentation of the same and for protection and promotion of the living environment (Local Environmental Action Plan – LEAP). The complexity of the goals of the Study for possibilities of regulation of the river Bregalnica, which, if realized, would have significant positive influence over different spheres of living and acting of people and nature, can be seen in their interaction through direct and indirect connections with other, already adopted and probably partly implemented strategic documents. In the process of adoption of the Study for possibilities of regulation of river Bregalnica, identification of the connections (direct/indirect) is crucial and also compatibility or insufficient compatibility of the goals of the Study with the goals of the relevant plan documents adopted on local, regional, national and/or global level. If there is no compatibility or there is a conflict in the compatibility, defining measures is needed, through which the compatibility would be provided, or the goals of the plan document should be changed in order to reach the necessary compatibility. To establish these relations, for the Study the most relevant and the most significant are the goals of the strategic plan documents which cover the following areas: ¾ Protection of waters ¾ Protection of the environment ¾ Economic development on a local, regional and national level ¾ Agricultural development ¾ Sector’s relevant areas – energy, tourism ¾ Physical planning and sustainable development and they are all stated in the following table, while in Annex 5 of this Study, the goals and the relation of these plan documents with the goals of the Study are processed in details.

Review of the existing law regulation and competent bodies Each country which plans to join the European Union (EU) must, during the pre-accession membership, prove that it is ready to accept the common law, economic and technical standards which are applicable in EU. Protection of the environment, especially in the sector for waters (improvement of the collection of waste waters and cleaning systems and providing drinking water for the needs of the whole population, protection and management with the probabilities of flooding and similar) is identified as one of the most important conditions for joining the EU. Existing EU legislation in the Sector of waters and fulfilling these standards, especially the directive of the Council of Europe and the European Parliament 2007/60/EC, the Directives of the Council 91/27/EEC and 98/83/EZ are especially meaningful for Republic of Macedonia joining the EU and during any activities related to regulation of the drainage-basin of river Bregalnica, their application must be taken care of. In Republic of Macedonia, there is a positive law regulation which is in compliance with the EU directives and in the following table, there are valid Law regulations for this issue, as well as other documents which at the same time have influence over making of this Study.

Study for possibilities of regulation of the river Bregalnica (mini accumulations, cascades, dams)

Hydrology of the drainage-basin of the river Bregalnica In this part of the Study, a short review will be given of the hydrology of the drainage-basin of the river Bregalnica. In the Appendix 1 which is part of this Study, a complete hydrological study has been made of the drainage-basin of the river Bregalnica as a basis for all the planning related to water issues. Situation of the drainage-basin and its size Geographic situation of the drainage-basin of Bregalnica is taking the eastern part of Republic of Macedonia and it lies on the left side of the river Vardar. The drainage-basin lies between 42о 9’ 25” and 41о 27’ 20” N and 21о 48’ 30” and 23о 01’ и 50” E (According to Greenwich). The distance between the most northern and the most southern point of the drainage-basin of the river Bregalnica is 78 km, and between the most eastern and the most western point is 102.25 km.

Picture: Drainage-basin of the river Bregalnica The growth of the drainage-basin surface of the river Bregalnica is given graphically below. With an analysis of the graphic of the drainage-basin and the table of the surfaces, we get the following: а) The right side of the drainage-basin is bigger than the left 1.35 times б) 1391.5 km2 are the direct drainage-basins which makes 32.3 %, and the drainage-basins of the confluents are 2903.5 km2 or 67.7% from the total surface of the drainage-basin. в) The surface of the drainage-basins of all the bigger confluents on the right side (1819 km2) is bigger than the surface of the confluents on the left side (1089.5 km2) 1.67 times.

Orrography Relief and formation of the drainage-basin Regarding the relief and the formation of the drainage-basin of the valley of Bregalnica, it is complicated. It is mainly consisted of 4 valleys: Maleska, Pijanecka, Kocanska and Krivolakavicka. Among the valleys, Bregalnica intersected the canyons: Malesko-Pijanecka, Pijanecko-Kocanska, Kocanska-Lakavicka and Lakavicko-Vardarska. Each of the mentioned is a part with different relief and orrographic characteristics. Conclusion The drainage-basin of the river Bregalnica belongs to an old Rodopi mountain massive. In the formation of the today’s shape and relief, tectonic shifts took part, and also the oldest orrogenic and hertz movements, before and after the Pliocene when the lowering along the seedlings happened. Regressive erosion which starts in the neogene goes to Aegean Sea through the valley of the river Vardar up to the highest parts of the drainage-basin. The drainage-basin is cut with many valleys and dry-valleys which at the upper part are shorter and with bigger fall and at the down part are longer and with a smaller fall. Sea level of the drainage-basin The level of the drainage basin is very important regarding defining the rainfalls regime, percentage of the rainfalls, percentage of the snowfalls, conditions of flowing, evaporation etc. Average height of the whole drainage-basin is: F ⋅ H sr H pr = = 722 m F F-surface between the contour lines Hsr=middle height of the surface F

Picture: Distribution of the heights of the drainage-basin of the river Bregalnica Hydrography Description of the main flow Bregalnica is the biggest river in the Eastern part of Republic of Macedonia which starts in the Malesevo Mountains at the Macedonian-Bulgarian border, south of the peak Kalaica and instill into Vardar at Ubovo. Near Berovo, Bregalnica gets the first bigger confluent Ratevska River and from there it flows to the north through Malesko-Pijanecka canyon. In Delcevsko field, Bregalnica piles up large quantities of massive alluvium, changes its river-bed and takes the banks. From Delcevo, Bregalnica turns to the west through the canyon valley and then after the instillation of Kamenicka River flows in the direction of southwest. At the village Istibanja, the river comes out of the canyon and flows on through the Kocanska valley. While in the upper part of the drainage-basin until Istibanja, Bregalnica still erodes its river-bed and has characteristics of a mountain river, in the middle flow through Kocansko field Bregalnica has a look of a valley river and starts largely to piles up its alluvium. Through Kocansko field, the river-bed of the river Bregalnica is embossed in its own alluvium. The banks are low and unstable, so the river quickly and easily changes the direction of the flow, takes away the banks or covers with alluvium large near-banks areas. After the instillation of the river Zletovska, Bregalnica again flows into the canyon valley where its banks are more stable. After Stip, the river deeply embosses its river-bed in Paleogene sediments, so its valley here gets canyon character. For this part, the strong meander of the river is typical. Larger profile of the river The length of the river from the instillation to the springs is 211.5 km. The spring is on the cote 1200 meters sea level, and the instillation is on the cote 135 meters sea level, so the total fall of the river-bed is 1065 m, i.e. 5.05 ‰. The flow of the river Bregalnica towards the falls of the river-bed can be separated into three characteristic parts. This separation is appropriate to the falls of the drainage-basin which is -28-


Study for possibilities of regulation of the river Bregalnica (mini accumulations, cascades, dams)

characterized by the mentioned parts of the drainage-basin. Other factors, such as afforestation and climate have influence so that in these parts there are different conditions of flow-out formed, so this separation actually extracts three areas with different geographic characteristics and conditions of flow-out. These parts are: a) Upper Bregalnica. From the spring to Istibanja. The length of this part of the river is 99 km, and the total fall is 825 m, which gives middle fall in this part of the flow from i=8.35‰. This part of the river, i.e. drainage-basin takes 27 % of the total surface of the drainage-basin while according to the fall it takes 77.3 % of the total fall. This can show that this part is mountain and with pretty developed falls. b) Middle Bregalnica. From Istibanja to Stip. The length of this part is 44 km, and the fall of the river-bed is 113 m, i.e. i=2.52 ‰. In this part, the fall of the river gets smaller and takes 10.7 % of the total fall of the river. It is characteristic that in this part, the river has almost valley character and because of the large decrease of the fall, it piles up large quantity of alluvium in Kocansko field. c) Lower Bregalnica. From Stip to the instillation into Vardar, the flow of Bregalnica is 68.5 km long, and the total fall of this part is 127 m or 1.87 ‰, which makes 11.9% of the total fall of Bregalnica. In the table below, there are the falls and the length of the flow for the counted sections in the flow and for the whole flow to the viewed point.

Confluents of Bregalnica Bregalnica has a well-developed hydrographic network. There are 16 bigger confluents whose total drainage-basin is 2908.5 km2 or 67.7% of the total drainage basin of Bregalnica. On the right side, there are 10 confluents, and their surface is 1.67 times bigger than the surface of the confluents which Bregalnica gets on the left side. Bregalnica has 10 confluents whose drainage-basins are bigger than 100 km2 which almost never get dry. The other confluents as well as those which are not stated in the table below excluding Zrnovka have more noisy character and get dry almost every year.

Picture: Graphic of minimum, maximum and mid-year air temperatures in Stip for the period from 1961-2000 The upper drainage-basin of Bregalnica is characterized with low winter temperature so that here there are recorded absolute minimum temperatures for this whole part of Macedonia. Middle annual amplitude of middle monthly temperature goes up to 21 0小, while the absolute amplitude is 66 0小. On the base of this, it can be concluded that this drainage-basin climate is of continental type. On the middle part of the drainage-basin, the temperature increases so in Delcevo, in July and August the middle monthly temperature is above 21 C0. The mid-year temperature here goes up to C0. In Kocani, the mid-year temperature is above 13 C0 and middle monthly temperature is 23 C 0. This area is characterized with high absolute amplitudes and big number of hot days with a temperature above 30 C 0 which are followed by a low percentage of humidity and drought. It can be said that the influence of the modified Mediterranean climate comes to here, which penetrates along the river Vardar. In Kocani, there are 277 days with a temperature higher than 5 C0 and 224 days with a temperature higher than 10 C0 and 100 days with a temperature above 20 C0. Certain places in Ovce Pole, Stip and Ergelija have the highest temperatures ad they belong to the hottest region of the drainage-basin of Bregalnica. The middle monthly temperatures go up to 25 C0. Here, based on appearance of high monthly amplitudes, a character of the temperate continental climate can be found. In this region, there are many days with ice, but also hot days with a temperature above 30 C0.

Picture: Graphics of the middle-year streaming of the river Bregalnica for the profile of Stip for the period 1961-2003 Homogeneousness of the string Considering that in n1970 the construction of the dam “Kalimanci” was finished and with that, the regime of the flow of the river Bregalnica was changed, the analysis has been made for the homogeneousness of the string of the mid-year streaming. As a null hypothesis the period from 1961 – 1970 was taken and as a hypothesis 1 the period from 1971 – 2003 was taken. With a Ttest made, a value was gotten from 0,0593 which is bigger than 0,05, and that shows that the strings are not statistically different, which means that on a mid-year streaming level there is no difference before and after the construction of the dam “Kalimanci”. Big waters The probability of appearance of big waters has been calculated by numerous methods and those are: Normal distribution. 2 parameters log normal, 3 parameters log normal, Pearson type 3, log Pearson type 3 and Gumbel type 1. Considering that the hydrological appearances are best adjusted to the unsymmetrical distributions, as representative the values gotten with Gumbel type 1 distribution are adopted, according to which the 200-years-old big water is 458,02 m3/s.

Erosion appearances and noisiness of the drainage-basin Erosion appearances The intensity degree and the development of the erosion appearances in the drainage-basin of the river Bregalnica is different depending on the different natural conditions (geologicalpedological foundations, relief expressions, climate conditions, vegetation, actions of people etc.) according to the degree of these factors influence positively and negatively and the intensity of the erosion as well as its extension. The most spread of the type of erosions is the surface erosion which manifests with surface clearing without forming or with just starting the process of formation of furrows. On many smaller surfaces but with a stronger intensity, the types of spread erosions are furrow and ravine erosions. Line erosion of the river-bed is the most spread at the most of the streams and water flows more or less, but its meaning in some cases is significantly less from the surface erosion. The expansion of the eroded surfaces or surfaces caught by the erosion in the upper part of the river Bregalnica at the right but also at the left bank, which is conditioned by the significantly higher degree of afforestation. On the right bank, a line erosion is developed because of the frail foundation. The eroded surfaces are mostly in the lower stream perimeters, while in the wider perimeters these surfaces are less thrown, taking over weak pastures, fields and valleys. On the right bank the eroded surfaces and the surfaces caught by erosion take the right bank of Zelevica, i.e. the surface below the villages Crnik, Sivi Dol, then, Pancarevo, Stamara, Zvegor and Umiljanska river. These areas are generally caught by surface cleansing of the land followed by the appearance of furrow and ravine erosion. The left confluents and their drainage-basins are characterized by significantly weaker caught of erosion, but also they have thinner drainage-basins of certain streams. The surfaces caught with erosion processes in the mid-part are grouped in individual extends and areas depending on the deforestation of the terrain and the frail foundations. The terrains with deeper pedological layers, middle inclination of the slopes, frail foundation and no vegetations, such as the terrains from Stip to Bucevska valley and from Zletovska river towards the direction of Ovce Pole, are characterized with surface big cleansing but with a lower intensity. The terrains where the process of forming furrows, ravines and river-beds are not very much expanded, and are usually found at the bottoms of the mountain areas, where above them sharp and resistant slopes are raised and they are generally not very afforested. The most significant surfaces like this are on the left bank of Kriva Lakavica, the bottom of the mountain Plackovica and the area of the Bogoslovski massive. Line erosion is the most spread more or less at the most of the water-flows, but considering its dominant role, the areas on the left bank of Kriva Lakavica river can be underlined, where the whole complex of river-beds and streams is caught with strong deeping and spreading of the river-bed, then certain streams and river-beds in the bottom of the mountain Plackovica and also some in Ovce Pole. Characteristics of the streams The water flows and the confluents of the river Bregalnica have mainly stream character. According to the fastness, they can be separated into three groups. The first group covers the bigger water flows, which are recipients of the smaller water flows and streams whose fastness is small and mainly connected to this confluents. In the second group, there are the water flows which are direct confluents of Bregalnica or confluents of the water flows of the first group. In the third group, there are fast rivers and river-beds which are direct confluents of Bregalnica or any other water flow regardless of the size and the category of fastness.

Study for possibilities of regulation of the river Bregalnica (mini accumulations, cascades, dams)

Accumulations (dams) in the drainage-basin of the river Bregalnica General If we consider the topography, hydrography and hydrological characteristics of the region, defining locations for eventual barriers – accumulations, means searching for water for them. Fact is that the area of the Eastern region has large arable surfaces with high productive possibilities but also has huge lack of humidity in the soil. Because of that, intensifying the agricultural production of that complex surfaces requests providing constant and secure spring of water for irrigation. Constructing the accumulation (dam) will contribute to ennoblement of the area with possibilities for fishing, tourism and recreation development. The research and fortifying eventual accumulation (dam) is based on several assumptions: -guarantee for full filling of the useful accumulation space; -if the suitable space and the space for accumulation does not have filling conditions from its own drainage-basin, eventually a rational solution shall be looked for in engaging other drainage-basins through shifting; -the relation between the in-built material in the body of the dam and the total space of the accumulation, i.e. useful space of the same, shall be on a satisfactory level. Hereinafter, a review of the already built barriers (accumulations) shall be given, in the drainage-basin of the river Bregalnica, and also anticipatory accumulations (barriers) with the physical plan of Republic of Macedonia until 2020 shall be given, as well as a choice of possible locations for construction of small accumulations (barriers). Accumulations (barriers) already constructed In the past until now in the drainage-basin of the river Bregalnica there have been the following accumulation constructed: “Kalimanci”, “Gradce”, “Ratevska River”, “Mariovica”, “Pisica” and “Losana”, and the construction of the dam “Knezevo” is in the final phase from the system “Zletovica”. A showing of the constructed accumulations (barriers) in the drainage-basin of the river Bregalnica is given on the following picture. The biggest accumulation “Kalimanci” formed in 1969 with a basic assignation to irrigate 280000 ha of the agricultural acreage in the region of Kocani and Ovce Pole. Besides irrigation, the water from the accumulation “Kalimanci” is used for production of electric energy. The dam “Kalimanci” is stone with a central clay core and gallery. The height of the dam is 92.0 m. The total volume of the accumulation is 127 000 000 m3, of which 119 500 000 m3 is useful. For exploitation of the flown waters a hydroelectric central was constructed with installed capacity of 12,8 MW. The look of the accumulation with the dam is given on the following picture.

Picture: Accumulation with dam “Gradce” The dam “Pishica” which is situated on the river Pishica is terrestrial dam with a height of 22,0 m which forms an accumulation with a total volume of 784 000 m3 of which 740 000 m3 is useful. The water from the accumulation is used for irrigation. The dam “Mantovo” which is situated on the river Kriva Lakavica is terrestrial dam with a height of 37,5 m which forms an accumulation with a total volume of 3 037 656 m3 of which 2750 299 m3 is useful. The water from the accumulation is used for irrigation of Radovishko Pole. The dam “Mavrovica” which is situated on the river Mavrovica (confluent of the river Svetinikolska) is terrestrial dam (clay with sidelong drainage wall) with a height of 25,0 m which forms an accumulation with a total volume of 3 037 656 m3 of which 2750 299 m3 is useful. The water from the accumulation is used for irrigation and water supply of the city of Sveti Nikole. The dam “Loshana” which is situated on the river Loshana is terrestrial dam with a height of 41,0 m which forms an accumulation with a total volume of 1 407 410 m3 of which 1 077 050 m3 is useful. The water from the accumulation is used for irrigation and water supply of the city of Delcevo. A construction of the dam “Knezevo” on the river Zletovica which is a right confluent of Bregalnica is on-going and its basic assignation is water supply of 100 000 inhabitants from the municipalities of Kratovo, Probistip, Stip, Sveti Nikole, Karbinci and Lozovo. The dam is made of stone with a central core of asphalt concrete and its height is 75 m. The accumulation is with a total volume of 23 000 000 m3 of which 22 500 000 m3 is useful. Anticipatory accumulations according to the physical plan of RM until 2020 With the physical plan of Republic of Macedonia until 2020 in Republic of Macedonia, a construction of 13 big dams and about 100 small accumulations is anticipated. In the drainagebasin of the river Bregalnica 5 big accumulations (dams) are anticipated, whose basic characteristics are given in the following table, and their position is given on the following picture.

When choosing the most suitable small accumulations in the Eastern plan region, it was started from the fact that there should be enough land material and accessible road to the profile of the dam, that the hydrology in the water flow should be favorable as well as to be close to the settlements as an opportunity for development of fishing, tourism and other commercial activities which will contribute to the benefit from the construction of the accumulation. Small dams up to 18 m high shall be given stress, with an inclination of the upstream and downstream incline from 1:2, made with local material. A preliminary geological prospection of all the evidenced barrier places was executed, so on the base of the positive assessment of the barriers, there are 15 suitable locations for construction of small accumulations (dams). For those locations which have a main project made, there is a complete geological research made.

Defining hydrological parameters for these locations has been made empirically by many methods, and then it has been taken a middle value or correlating with the measurement places, where there are hydrological measuring constantly, because there is no direct measuring for the locations where the small accumulations are planed to be constructed. In the Appendix 2 which is part of this Study, all the suitable locations for construction of small accumulations are elaborated in details, also for the cuts and the curves for the dams and accumulations for each location separately, estimation of the time and means needed for operation, the look of the location and also other data needed in the further process or in case of preparation of eventual technical documentation for those locations. In the following table a review of the most suitable locations for construction of small accumulations (dams) is given.

Rubber barriers in the drainage-basin of the river Bregalnica General Exploiting the sand from the river-bed of the river Bregalnica and its confluents, led to disordering of the downs along the river-beds and increasing the speed of water, which led to significant increase of the depths of the river-beds compared to the natural depth. In order to provide whole functioning of the river-beds in the area, to keep and initiate the development of the coastal vegetation, as well as to reach supplement of the underground water reserves in the river alluvial valleys, but also to get positive effect in the period of the small waters, it is necessary to stabilize the river-beds and to prevent their further degradation and deepening. This problem can be solved in two ways – with regulation and arrangement of all the rivers in the drainage-basin of the river Bregalnica, which is expensive and long-term solution and with intervention and partitioning on the most suitable places along the river-beds, with an aim to reach the natural level of the river-bed. Altitude stabilization of the river-bed of the river Bregalnica can be reached with building cross sections along the river Bregalnica. These cross sections can be built as firm monolithic constructions, known from our practice as concrete cascade thresholds or with movable constructions, rubber sacks, fixed to the rived bottom and with their manipulation making a lake is possible, when small flowing of the river are happening and their safe permeability when big flowing are happening. Comparing the variants with a classic barrier, with overflow concrete threshold and an elastic barrier with a rubber sack, it was ascertained that the elastic rubber sack barrier is significantly cheaper and more practical for construction 1:3,5 to 1:4,1 in favor of the elastic barrier. The advantage of such a barrier, besides the price, can be seen from the following aspects: -Effective overflowing of the water when there are larger quantities from the capacity of the objects, without side intervention (opening or closing the caps); -Easy and effective change of the height of the barrier through the manipulative object; -Creating natural conditions for flow of the water in the river-bed after the irrigation season with lowering the rubber sack; -Self-cleaning of the accumulation space from the alluvium and other items during increased spill waters; -Positive ecological effect and good fitting in the natural ambient choosing the rubber sack etc. Because of this, construction of rubber sack barriers is preferred and in the following text the possibility for their application will be elaborated. Elements of the rubber barriers On the following pictures you can see a three-dimensional look and cut of a rubber sack barrier with its basic characteristic elements. Each barrier with rubber sack is consisted of the following basic elements: concrete threshold, connecting elements, waterfall, zone thresholds, rubber barrier (sack), manipulative drain, fish path. In the following text a short description of all the basic elements is given.

Concrete threshold The assignation of the concrete threshold is to be a stable, flat foundation for the rubber barrier and its dimensions to enable accepting of all the burdens from the water and the rubber sack. The concrete threshold with the rubber barrier is connected to special fixing elements. It is made so that it is 50 cm above the river bottom, with biasing of the front with an inclination of 3:1. The depth of the foundation is 1.5 m, which is thickness of the concrete threshold. The threshold is made of concrete MB 20 without reinforcement. The construction of the concrete threshold should be in dry months, because when digging the foundation ditch of the concrete threshold an underground water appears which in the summer months is the smallest. Connection elements Connection elements for connecting the rubber barrier with the concrete threshold are consisted of steel “U” profiles and anchors which are set in the threshold when concreting. Their setting up is made with a big accuracy whereupon geodetic control instruments are used. Waterfall Waterfall is made 30 m long upstream and downstream to the concrete threshold and its assignation is to prevent erosion processes close to the concrete threshold. When the rubber barrier is up (2 m.) in the downstream waterfall a controlled dissipation of the flow energy. It is made by an arranged stone with a minimum diameter of 30 cm in the concrete foundation of MB30 and the minimum thickness of 20 cm. This foundation is made on a leveling layer from broken stone or large gravel. The compress is spread on the river bottom and the biases. The waterfalls end with zone thresholds upstream and downstream. The compress ends on the biases with a stone with minimum dimension of 60 cm. The compress ends with a scissor of arranged stone in dry place on the waterfalls above the biases. The depth of the scissor is 0.9 m or 1.4 m together with the compress. The minimum dimension of the stone in the scissor is 30 cm. Zone thresholds The waterfalls and the concrete threshold upstream and downstream start with zone thresholds from gabions. The assignation of this zone thresholds is stabilizing and protection of the regulated river profile. They are made of gabions with dimensions 2.5х1.0х1.0 m. Rubber sack (barrier) Rubber sack (barrier) has an assignation to increase the level of the water in the river-bed and to provide shifting needed quantities of water when small waters are happening, so that it is enough for irrigation or for forming small accumulation for recreational and esthetic assignation. With the concrete threshold it is connected by steel elements. The preparation and the mounting of the rubber sack is usually made by the manufacturer. The basic characteristics of the barrier are: -height of the rubber barrier; -volume of the rubber barrier; -surface of the transversal cut of the rubber barrier; -minimum length of the concrete threshold. Manipulative drain Manipulative drain is assigned to control and manage the rubber barrier (sack), which has a direct influence over the water level to which the sack raises (lowers) to create deceleration.

It is located on one of the banks on distance of 15 m from the regulated river profile. It is connected to the rubber barrier through a steel pipe. The pipe is dug in about 70 cm under the upper surface of the concrete threshold, it is lubricated with anti-corrosion means and additionally protected by asphalt. The fall of the pipe is 3 о/оо towards the manipulative drain. The drain is made of reinforced concrete branded MB30 and reinforced armature. It is covered by a concrete lid. Manipulative drain is separated on small and big drain. The small drain is dry and in it there are the lids and the buoy with which the rubber barrier is filled and managed. The big drain is separated on dry and wet. It is filled with water from the discharging and the filling of the rubber barrier. The filling, discharging and the supplement of the rubber barrier is made with water through pumping out water from the river Bregalnica, automatically and with a manual option. Fish path The fish path is made for undisturbed communication of the river fish upstream and downstream. Besides, through the fish path a biological minimum is let off, which is 0,5 m3/s. The basic criteria when dimensioning is the maximum speed of the flow in the fish path to be lower than the limit speed which enables traveling of the laziest fish in river Bregalnica (0,51,30 m/s). The most spread species in river Bregalnica are carp, dace, barbell, bojnik of which the dace is considered as least mobile. To reach this speed an artificial roughness is projected of the bottom of the path with an reinforced concrete ribs at a corner of 45 о in relation with the channel axis which is set on a distance not larger than 50 cm. During the construction the fish path is for switching the river and providing construction ditch. It is made as reinforced concrete with MB30 and reinforced with concrete armature. Foundations for calculation of the rubber sacks From the practice of constructed rubber sacks when calculating, the following things shall be considered: Topographic foundations The situation of the barrier place in ratio of 1:1000 for regulation of the river bed upstream and downstream long 500 m. if the works are done on a non-regulated river bed and 1:200 on the location itself. Geological foundations For defining the geological geotechnical characteristics on the barrier place a research is needed with at least three holes. Hydrological foundations For dimensioning of the flow characteristics of the barriers knowing the hydrological parameters of the anticipated profiles for construction of the barriers is needed. In the Appendix 1 of this Study a complete hydrology of the river Bregalnica is made. In the continuation the characteristic annual flows are given, as well as the values of the big and small waters of the profiles of Oci Pale and Stip per different types of allocations for different probabilities. At the profile of Oci Pale, the minimum, maximum and middle annual flows for the period from 1961-2003 are Qmin=1.12 m3/s, Qmid.=4.75 m3/s, Qmax=15.65 m3/s, and the 200 years big water got with Gumbel type 1 allocation is 433,32 m3/s.

At the profile of Stip, the minimum, maximum and middle annual flows for the period from 1961-2003 are Qmin=2.32 m3/s, Qmid.=11.15 m3/s, Qmax=34.87 m3/s, and for the 200 years big water got with Gumbel type 1 allocation is 458.2 m3/s. In the projection phase of the barriers a hydrological analysis of the profile of the barrier should be made. Hydraulic calculation Overspill height When calculating the overspill over the rubber barrier, it is considered that the rubber barrier (sack) is not deformed and the spillover is not sunken. The calculation is made with the following formula: Q pr = m ⋅ b ⋅ 2 ⋅ g ⋅ H 3 / 2 , Q pr = 0.45 ⋅ b ⋅ 2 ⋅ 9.81 ⋅ H 3 / 2 m = 0.45 -spillover quotient Q pr -spillover quantity, H pr -spillover height b -length of the spillover edge If all the above calculations of the flow for different widths of the spillover edge from b=20, 25, 30, 35, 36 and 40 m are put into a table and graphic, the following is got: Table: Dependence between the overspill height and overspill quantity for different widths hpr 0.2 м 0.4 м 0.6 м 0.8 м 1м Qpr, b=40m 7.13 20.17 37.06 57.05 79.73 Qpr, b=36m 6.42 18.15 33.35 51.35 71.76 Qpr, b=35m 6.24 17.65 32.42 49.92 69.76 Qpr, b=30m 5.35 15.13 27.79 42.79 59.80 Qpr, b=25m 4.46 12.61 23.16 35.66 49.83 Qpr, b=20m 3.57 10.09 18.53 28.53 39.87 Qpr, b=15m 2.67 7.56 13.90 21.39 29.90 Qpr, b=10m 1.78 5.04 9.26 14.26 19.93

Projected rubber dams On the river Bregalnica a project has been implemented of a grip with a rubber barrier near the village Pribachevo on the territory of municipality of Kochani. The project was prepared by the Water supply institution Skopje in 1991, and an annex was made in 2002 also in the Water supply institution Skopje because of a small displacement of the location and capturing the water from the irrigation channels. The technical documentation is on a level of main project. The assignation of this grip and the construction elements are the same as in the grip near the village of Chiflik and near the village of Grdovci, just the water flows in the channels captured for irrigation is different. Possible profiles for construction of rubber barriers In the continuation of the text the possible locations on river Bregalnica and its confluents shall be analyzed, for setting sack barriers as well as approximate costs and time needed for their construction. Shtip In the river bed of Bregalnica near Shtip a construction of rubber sack is anticipated, but after the regulation of the river bed. On the following picture a longitudinal cut is given with the positions of the proposed location for construction of rubber sacks near Shtip.

Picture: Proposed locations for construction of barriers with rubber sacks on river Bregalnica near Shtip (under settlement Babi, under settlement Balkanska) The whole system of rubber sacks which will be set along the river Bregalnica in this part will be assigned to, through forming deceleration, form accumulations in the river bed for esthetic look in these parts of the area. That way, the river level will be raised in the minor river bed for zone of about km. in the central part of Shtip and in the period of small waters there will be filling of maximum 1,5 m. So, the current main ecological issues will be solved in the central part of the city, but also that part of the city will be esthetically arranged, and that gives possibilities for development of the water sports, fishing and recreation. The barriers will be consisted of concrete part which will fix the horizontal and vertical position of the river bed 36,0 m. long, rubber sack for creating deceleration of the water with maximum raise of the sack of 1,5 m. waterfall long according to the hydraulic calculations and manipulative drain for commanding the object. Previously, on the barrier places, with minimum three diggings geotechnical and geomechanical characteristics of the soil will be defined for dimensioning the concrete part of the grip. Maximum overspill waters when dimensioning the regulation of the river through the settlement, will be competent for dimensioning of the overspill and the waterfall. The anticipated locations for construction of barriers along the river Bregalnica near Shtip are the following: • Barrier under settlement Balkanska • Barrier under settlement Babi • Barrier before the “Goce Delcev” bridge (near the bus station Shtip) • Barrier before the instill of river Otinja • Barrier near the spa Knezhovica The barrier under the settlement Balkanska in the period of small waters will form a deceleration which will provide support for the wells in the settlement Makedonka and irrigation of the acreages around river Bregalnica. The barrier under the settlement Babi will form deceleration and possibility for optimum support of the wells in the locality Shtipsko Lake of which the city of Shtip gets the drinking water supply and this barrier should be a priority. -80-

Decreasing the water speeds in this zone will significantly decrease the erosion of the river bed and the continuous undermining of the bottom, and also the dryness of the wells. The barrier before the “Goce Delcev” bridge and on the instill of the river Otinja will provide peaceful flow of the waters through the central city area, with the regulation of the river and the construction of the river bed will be the “face” of the city. The barrier near the spa Knezhovica will form deceleration and lake-like water surface which will provide pleasant vacation place and also will increase the tourist attraction of the spa complex Knezhovica. In order to define the accurate most suitable places for construction of these rubber barriers, a detailed surveying of the river bed of Bregalnica is needed and also preparation of technical documentation on a level of Project idea where with hydraulic calculations mutual influences of this hydrotechnical objects will be defined, as well as the influence over the surrounding objects which are near the river bed. A detailed analysis is needed also, of the influence of the barrier near the spa Knezhovica, over the warm springs near L’gite, because if the deceleration is very high, flooding of the locality can happen. We would like to mention that before starting the realization of this rubber sacks system a regulation of the river Bregalnica should be made first, in accordance with the previously made technical documentation, and if we go just partially, only on the barriers construction, it is necessary to analyze the probability of flooding the objects which are near the river bed of Bregalnica from the decelerations which will be formed by the barriers and what kind of protection is needed unless the river bed is not regulated (minimum length of the river bed regulation before and after the barriers). With regulation of the river bed and construction of the barriers the banks will be stabilized and water mirrors will be formed (small lakes) which will influence the flora and fauna in the river Bregalnica, and arranging the river bed will provide walkside and good vacation and recreation place for the inhabitants of the city of Shtip. The look of the central part of Shtip after finishing the regulation of the river Bregalnica and construction of the rubber sacks is given on the following pictures.

Kochani In the river bed of Kochanska river there are barriers with rubber sacks anticipated to be built in the city part of the river where the river bed is regulated with quay walls. On the following picture the position of the barriers in Kochani is given.

Picture: Proposed locations for construction of barriers with rubber sacks in Kochani Barrier at “The Court” The assignation of this grip will be capturing water for irrigation (it is like that now through built channel from the Hydromeliorative system “Bregalnica” with terrestrial grip) and the other assignation will be creating deceleration which will create accumulation in the river bed with water mirror of a full river bed upstream of the grip. The grip will be consisted of concrete part with threshold from 0,50 m., for fixing the horizontal and vertical position of the river bed. It will have a rubber sack for creating deceleration of the water to capture water in the irrigation channel and creating maximum height of raising the sack of 0,80 m. It will also have a Waterfall for mollification of the spillover water with a cover of broken stone on a concrete cover which will be long according to the adopted maximum quantity of water.

Maximum spillover waters adopted when dimensioning the regulation of the river through the settlement built, will be competent for dimensioning the spillover and the waterfall, and according to the known dimensioning formulas of such a hydrotechnical object, there will be a manipulative drain for commanding the object. Previously, there should be minimum three diggings executed to fortify the geomechanical and geological characteristics of the barrier place, needed for dimensioning of the concrete threshold. The position of this barrier is given on the following picture.

Picture: Position of the barrier at “the Court” Barrier at “Krusharski bridge” This grip will be downstream from the previous barrier at about 700 m. The assignation of this grip will be forming accumulation in the river bed and improving the esthetic look of this part of the city. Also, through forming the accumulation there will be a possibility for the religious ceremonies which are executed every year on 21st of January. The constructive elements will be the same as in the grip at “The Court”, only there will be no capturing water for irrigation and the maximum raise of the sack for creating deceleration will be 1.2 m. With the construction of the barrier the drain of the canalization pipe 300 from the home of the culture, downstream from the barrier for about 300 m. and the atmosphere canalization 300 for about 350 m. downstream from the barrier.

Study for possibilities of regulation of the river Bregalnica (mini accumulations, cascades, dams)

Regulation of the river Bregalnica and its confluents in the drainage-basin General River Bregalnica springs in the woodland of Maleshevski Mountains. The total length of the river Bregalnica is 225 km. Along the river Bregalnica, one artificial accumulation has been built, and that is the accumulation “Kalimanci” near Makedonska Kamenica. Accumulation “Kalimanci” has a great influence over the flow of the water through the river bed of Bregalnica downstream of the accumulation on the maximum and the middle flow. Before the construction of the dam “Kalimanci” the big waters caused lots of frequent changes of the river bed of the river Bregalnica in horizontal and vertical position. After the construction of the dam “Kalimanci” the regime of the waters has significantly changed, the flow of the maximum waters and characteristic small waters before all. On the other hand, the river bed is not very much arranged. As a result of the change of the water regime, the river bed is subjected to new changes because of: -overgrowth of the vegetation, characteristic for the river beds (Willow, wild poplars, alder etc.) -the human influence. This type of influence over the changes of the river bed is expressed in a couple of ways – changes caused by negligent usage of the alluvium from the river bed and the banks, changes from using the water for irrigation, changes because of usurpation of the land. The width of the river bed along the downstream from the dam “Kalimanci” is changeable from 30 to 120 m. The natural fall of the river bed (the fall originated from different influences) is very changeable so the average fall is about 1.75 per mils. Current situation with the regulation in the drainage-basin of Bregalnica River Bregalnica Natural conditions: climate, relief and the geological composition enabled in this region many surface water flows to be formed, such as rivers, streams. The biggest river is Bregalnica. The first settlement through which the river Bregalnica passes is the city of Berovo. In the central city area of Berovo, the river bed of Bregalnica is regulated in length of about 950 m. The width of the river bed is 13 m. and the inclination of the biases is 1:1. After the instill of the Pehchevska River, Bregalnica goes into the Pijanecka ravine from south through Razlovecka Canyon, flows on the north to Delchevo and then turns to west and through the large canyon from village Ocipale to village Istibanja goes into the Kochansko Pole. One of the bigger confluents of river Bregalnica, along which side the valley of Pijanec is spread, is river Zelevica, and the biggest confluent is Kamenichka River. It collects the waters from the highest tops of the Osogovo Mountains and besides for irrigation, it is used for flotation of the mines in the mine “Sasa”. The river bed of Bregalnica in the central city area of Delchevo is also regulated. The regulated river bed of Bregalnica through Berovo and Delchevo is shown on the following pictures.

Next big city in the down flow, through which river Bregalnica passes is the city of Shtip. Although the city of Shtip is the biggest city in this region and it is a center of the eastern plan region, the river bed of Bregalnica through the city of Shtip is not regulated. The look of the unregulated river bed of Bregalnica through Shtip is given on the following pictures.

Regulation of the river Kamenichka through the city of Makedonska Kamenica is shown on the following picture. The regulation of this river is finished in the bigger part, starting from above Makedonska Kamenica until the instillation in the accumulation “Kalimanci�. It is an example of a well regulated river bed.

Other confluents of the river Bregalnica which are partly regulated through the settlements are: the river bed of Vinichka and Gradechka River through the city of Vinica, the river bed of river Kochanska through the city of Kochani, the river bed of river Trkanjska through the village Trkanja, the river bed of river Orizarska through Orizari and the river bed of the river Otinja through Shtip. Kochanska River arises from the south of Lopensko Bilo on the Osogovo Mountain, in the settlement Retki buki, at a sea level of 1.630 meters. It instills in Bregalnica near the village Chiflik at a sea level of 295 meters. The river has developed springs with wide valley, which until Kochani is canyon-like, and then until it instills it is plain river. The total length of Kochanska river is 34 kilometers. In the mountain part it accepts large number of confluents, such as Lopenska, Ramnobrdska and Small river. All of these come from the right side, because of which Kochanska river has outspread, but asymmetrical hydrographic network. The highest water level is during April and May when the snow from the mountains melts, and the lowest water level is in July and August, when the rainfalls are minimal, and the evaporation is big because of the high temperatures. The river has a very big fall (39,3%) which enabled in its river bed an artificial accumulation to be built near the village Dolno Gradce, which gave the accumulation the name Gradce. The river bed of Kochanska River is regulated and it is shown on the following picture.

Zrnovska River is situated in the eastern part of Macedonia, in the area of municipality of Zrnovci and it is a left confluent of the river Bregalnica. The river arises from under the peak Kozobran, in the area Bachalija, on the mountain Plachkovica, at a sea level of 1.420 m. The drainage-basin of Zrnovska River is 70 km², and the length is 24 km. The surface of the drainage-basin is 70 km2. Its relative fall is 47,6%. From the springs it flows towards west under the name of Ulmija, and then it turns to north and it is known as Zrnovska. To the village of Zrnovci, it is a mountain river with a canyon valley, and then through the field until the instillation, it flows as a plain river. It instills directly near the road Kochani-Zrnovci, at a sea level of 325 meters. From the river about 250 ha are irrigated, seeded with corn, leek and other agricultural seeds. On the river Zrnovska there is a hydroelectric central, which has significantly changed the natural flow of the river and the living conditions in it. The river bed of river Zrnovska through Zrnovci is shown on the following picture.

Zletovska River is one of the bigger water flows in the eastern part of Macedonia, which arises from the Osogovo Mountains. The springs of the river have rainforest characteristics, and the spring is at a sea level of 1.718 meters. The drainage-basin of the river is 218,72 km2, and the length of the river is 32,8 km. The river bed in the bigger part is cut into the crystal rocks and vulcanite and that is mostly expressed near the village Mushkovo, where there are more streams and two bigger waterfalls. From the spring to the village Zletovo the river has big fall (in average about 24 %), deep valley and big hydro-energetic potential. So, in the frames of the regional multiple hydro-system “Zletovica” it is anticipated 3 hydroelectric centers to be built. At the moment, the construction of the dam “Knezhevo” is at the end, and it is situated near the village Knezhevo, Kratovo region, and it has height of 70 m. and capacity of 23 million m3 water. It is anticipated the water from the dam to be used for drinking water supply for several municipalities in the northeast part of the country. Zletovska River has 35 big and small confluents, of which the biggest is Venechka River. The average flow of Zletovska River is 2,64 m3/sec. It instills in the river Bregalnica near the village Ularci.

River Otinja is a left confluent of the river Bregalnica. It arises from the place called Chaprovka. It goes through the city of Shtip where there is a wide river bed (channel) for protection from the torrents i.e. from the big waters which come after the spring and summer lavish rains. It instills in the river Bregalnica under the Isar near Novo Selo, very close to the city of Shtip. The regulated river bed of the river Otinja is given on the following picture.

Possibilities for regulation of the river Bregalnica and the confluents in the drainage-basin The sections where it is necessary to regulate the river Bregalnica are defined on the water management basis. The sections of the river Bregalnica and its confluents which have the possibility to be regulated according to the water management basis of RM are given on the following picture. Those are sections in the city areas and on the places where construction of accumulations is not anticipated.

Picture: Possible sections for regulation From the previous review of the regulation, it can be seen that mostly in all the cities, except for the city of Shtip, along the river Bregalnica and its confluents, regulation has been made. Because of that, regulation of Bregalnica through the city of Shtip imposes as a priority. It will be big grip both materially and time consuming. Also, a continuation of the already built regulations in the other cities is necessary. Critical section is the part of river Bregalnica from village Istibanje to Shtip, where besides built accumulations, still there is flooding of the agricultural surfaces. In 1959 a project idea has been made for regulation of the river Bregalnica with mounds, but this project because of its extensiveness and expensiveness hasn’t been implemented. Also, with terrestrial mounds the rivers Kochanska and Trkanska should be regulated in the settlements to the instillation of the river Bregalnica. In the area of municipality of Vinica there are few confluents of the river Bregalnica. One of the bigger left confluent is river Osojnica with its confluents Brbushnica, Blateshnica, Peklanska River, Sushica, Vinichka River and Voden. The length of the river Osojnica is about 50 km. River Osojnica is not regulated and because of that it frequently overflows and damages the surroundings along its flow, causing coastal landfall. Complete regulation of the river Osojnica should be treated as a whole from economic aspect considering its size and length and it is a big investment. Another left confluent of the river Bregalnica is the river Gradechka. The length of this river is about 20 km. The river arises from the highest peak Lisec on the mountain Plachkovica, with 1754 sea level. Because of the big fall the water has big speed and together with Leskovska River makes lots of damages along the flow mostly in the down parts. In this region, right confluent of the river Bregalnica is Istibanski Dol (Poroen Dol) which passes through the village Istibanja. The length of Istibanski Dol (Poroen Dol) is about 5 km, but because of the big fall and the woodless terrain it has big erosion and brings big alluvium. -98-

The position of the mentioned water flows is given on the following map.

Picture: Position of the rivers Osojnica, Gradechka and Poroen Dol In the following text, the attention will be mainly paid to the possibility for regulation of the river Bregalnica by Shtip, as well as arranging certain sections of the water flows in the region, and as for the other regulations, firstly between village Istibanja and Shtip, and the regulation of the river Osojnica, they should be considered as a whole, since it is a very big grip and requires lots of finances. Regulation of the river Bregalnica through the city of Shtip Regulation of the river bed of Bregalnica near Shtip should start from the bridge on the road to Strumica, and ends at Karbinci, for which there is a project idea prepared. The length of this section is about 19.5 km. For a complete and more suitable fitting of the regulated river bed in the frames of the existing width of the river bed, the trace has been drawn with needed number of curves and directions, and the existing bridges are fitted in. The natural fall of the river bed, and its width in the section anticipated to be regulated is very changeable. The average fall of this section is 1,75 ‰. The projected longitudinal fall of the river bed is 1 ‰ which is consider the best to improve the flowing regime. Because of decrease of the fall on the bottom of the regulated river bed related to the natural average fall and because of enabling capture of water for irrigation of the underground, there are cascades anticipated to be built along the whole regulation. The transversal cut of the regulated river bed is defined so that undisturbed flow is provided of the big water which is calculated by several methods but as the most suitable is considered the value gained from the allocation by Gumbel. The big water of river Bregalnica on the profile of Shtip has a possibility

to appear 0,995 or once in 200 years by Gumbel and it is 458,02 m2/s and is calculated on a string of 40 years. The competent big water is an indicator which the size of the protective objects depends on and it is directly related to economic indicators. If the protective object is bigger, it means that more means are needed and the damage risk is smaller and vice versa. In the section out of the city a one-side trapeze profile is adopted, and in the city section a double regulated profile is chosen, just on one part (around the Stone Bridge) the upper part is more spread because of enabling and setting up different cultural and entertaining events. The longitudinal profile of the regulated river bed with marked parts of the city and out of the city is given in the following picture.

Regulation of river Gradechka and Vinichka in municipality of Vinica Because of complete prevention from negative consequences from the river Gradechka, a project for its regulation has been made. According to this project the transversal profile of the regulated river bed should be with trapeze transversal cut, with bottom width of 10 m, depth of 1.5 m, inclination of the biases of the channel 1:1.5 and a longitudinal inclination of 1.0 %. This cut should enable water flow of 50 м3/с, which is 20 – years water. Transversal cut of the regulated river bed of river Gradechka is given on the following picture. Such a regulation has been already made from the cut with the left bus channel of the irrigation system Bregalnica to the instillation of river Gradechka in Bregalnica, and it should be maintained. The river bed of river Gradechka is partly regulated with quay walls, but this kind of regulation for improved protection of the city of Vinica should be continued until the meeting point with left bus channel of the irrigation system Bregalnica. These activities cost about 300.000 euro.

Picture: Characteristic transversal cut of the river Gradechka Because of complete prevention from negative consequences from the river Vinichka, a project for its regulation has been made. According to this project the transversal profile of the regulated river bed should be with trapeze transversal cut, with bottom width of 6 m, depth of 1.1 m, inclination of the biases of the channel 1:1.5 and a longitudinal inclination of 0.7 %. This cut should enable water flow of 17 м3/с, which is 20 – years water. Transversal cut of the regulated river bed of river Vinichka is given on the following picture. Such a regulation has been already made from the end of the city part to the instillation of river Vinichka in Bregalnica, and it should be maintained. The river bed of river Vinichka is partly regulated with quay concrete walls. For enlargement of the city of Vinica and urbanized areas a continuation is needed with quay walls downstream from already made river regulation in length of about 300 m. These activities cost about 600.000 euro.

Study for possibilities of regulation of the river Bregalnica (mini accumulations, cascades, dams)

Assessment of the impact of the Study of possibilities for regulation of river Bregalnica on the environmental elements The prepared draft version of the Study of possibilities for regulation of river Bregalnica represents a planning document for managing the waters of river Bregalnica and its tributaries by defining the manner of regulation, usage and deployment of the waters, protection from harmful actions of the waters and their rational and efficient use. Taking into consideration the approach and methodology of preparing the Study of the possibilities for regulation of the river Bregalnica by building accumulations, rubber compartments, mini hydropower plants and the thoroughness of defining the future projects that need to be accomplished as priority projects as well as the national legal regulation that provides strategic approach to assessment of the impact of the planning document on the environmental elements, this chapter of the Study focuses on the following: ¾ Assessment of impact of the Study on the environment which contains elements of Strategic assessment of impact of studies, plans and programs on the environment ¾ Preliminary assessment of the impact of proposed project solutions in the form of mini regulations, cascades or dams on all elements of the environment in order to identify the most sensitive elements. The strategic assessment of impact on the environment (EIA) provides a broader vision for the protection of the environmental elements while accomplishing the objectives of the planning document, provides early inclusion of the environmental issues in the process of preparation of the planning document and takes into consideration all impacts on it, offers alternatives that need to be reviewed with attention, and proposes measures to prevent, mitigate or compensate the negative impacts of the planning document on the environment. The Study of possibilities for regulation of river Bregalnica represents a planning document that prоvides: а) managing the waters of river Bregalnica and its tributaries by defining the manner of their regulation, b) usage and deployment of the waters by the comprised population of 11 municipalities in the Easter planning region, c) protection from harmful actions of waters, d) rational and efficient utilization of the waters and e) sustainable development of water resources. At the same time the Study considers the possibilities for development of tourism and ecotourism, use of the hydro potential as an energy source that is renewable and favorable to the environment, as well as conditions for water use in agriculture for irrigation of crops. Precisely because of the scope and topics related to the sustainable usage of the waters of river Bregalnica a strategic approach is required in the determination of the impact of the Study on the environment and human health by giving proposed measures and indicators that need to be followed in the next phase of project level for each priority project defined in the Study when financing conditions are provided and before its construction begins. For each priority project an Assessment of project impact on the environment should be started in accordance with the national regulations – the Law of environment (Official Gazette No. 53/05, 81/05, 24/07, 159/08, 83/09) and the appropriate by-laws in which the ЕU Directive EU 85/337/ЕЕC for assessment of the impact of the projects on the environment is transposed with the changes and amendments EU Directive 97/11/ЕC.

Study for possibilities of regulation of the river Bregalnica (mini accumulations, cascades, dams)

Main purpose of Strategic assessment on the environment The main purpose of the Strategic assessment of the environment for the Study of the possibilities for regulation of river Bregalnica is timely to include the objectives of protecting and improving the environment defined by national, regional and local strategic documents in the defined objectives of the Study and to provide a general view for the possible negative and possitive impacts of the realization of the objectives of the Study. The timely inclusion of measures to prevent, mitigate or compensate the negative effects of the planning decisions on the environment and the identification of appropriate indicators with which the implementation of the proposed measures will be monitored, will enable the sustainable development of the community on local (for each of the municipalities involved in the Study), regional (the whole Eastern planning region), national and global level. Current problems with the environmental elements in the planning scope The environmental problems in the Eastern Planning Region and the subject coverage are identified by analyzing the current state of the environment in all eleven municipalities that the region covers, taking into account the strategic planning documents of all covered municipalities. It is expected that the elements of the environment that are most threatened by pollution, destruction, extermination, in one municipality to also represent the most sensitive elements in realizing the objectives of the Study of possibilities for regulation of river Bregalnica. These most sensitive elements also represent a scope of the analysis of the impact of the objectives of the study on each of them. The most sensitive elements of the environment in the entire region are: a) water (water supply, sewerage network, storm water sewerage, waste water treatment, irrigation, water losses, etc.), b) air (only in major urban areas in the winter period because of the use of firewood), c) management of municipal solid waste, but all other types of waste as well, d) soil and the occurrence of soil erosion and loss of arable land, e) climate change (but not in large extent) as a result of inadequate waste management and the emissions from the agriculture, f) the population (taking into account the needs for socio-economic development of the community), g) human health (the direct and indirect impact of the pollution of media on the health of people), and the material goods (illegal buildings, destroying crops, yards and homes during floods). The consultants have analyzed the key problems in each municipality separately, they synthesized the common key problems for each environmental element and summarized the key environmental problems of the municipalities in the region that are shown in the following table. The relevance of the key problems for the subject scope has been identified, also taking into consideration the location and the purposes of the Study.

Study for possibilities of regulation of the river Bregalnica (mini accumulations, cascades, dams)

Probable significant impacts of the Study on the environment In order to identify the positive and negative impacts of meeting the objectives of the Study in relation to the objectives of the strategic environmental assessment in the region, analysis of the likely impacts on the media of the environment is carried out. Influence on the population With the realization of the objectives of the Study for possible regulation of river Bregalnica, long-term, positive and very significant impacts on the population of the region are expected. Timely continuous water supply will provide quality, efficient and safe supply of a large number of inhabitants of the region with drinking water that meets standards, thus having direct effects on improving health and reducing the number of diseases that are transmitted through water, improving the quality and a simpler way of living. It will also have direct impact with the continuous meeting of the needs of the industry with technological water for the processes and quality safe water for agriculture, tourism and the other economic sectors (eg. fishing). The modernization of the existing and construction of new irrigation systems and the use of new modern techniques of irrigation will ensure sufficient quantities of efficiently used water to agricultural areas, greater yields and continuous supply of quality agricultural products at the national and export market, increasing the share of arable agricultural land in the total agricultural area, creating new jobs, security for farmers to continue with the same or to replace certain crops with economically more viable crops that may require more irrigation. Indirect impacts will be felt by providing lower cost of food and increased share of agriculture in the national GDP. At the same time with the development of agriculture, economical strengthening of other service areas related to agriculture is expected (trade, marketing, packing, transportation, storage, laboratories and institutes and consulting services). Some planned decisions have a direct impact on the development of tourism, alternative tourism and recreation in this beautiful and picturesque region. The construction of the mini accumulations will also reduce the current oscillations of the occurrence of floods and droughts in the region that occur and cause severe damages to the households (flooded houses, yards, destroyed cattle, need of financial resources for reconstruction and time), to the individual agriculturers and to the agriculture like an industry branch as a whole. Automatically a lack of crops appears and the food prices rise which directly affects on the already weak economic power of the population. During the regulation of the river Bregalnica and its tributaries, as well as during the construction of accumulations, dams and rubber compartments, there will be an opportunity for opening of temporary job positions (during construction) and constant jobs during their operation and maintenance. At the same time, the attracting of investors for a longer time period, who can develop these facilities into a tourist and recreational sports centers will lead to an improved level of living standard, which will result in a reduction of the migration village city of the young people in the region. A major significant influence is also expected on strengthening the local self-government which by regular collection of taxes will allow better quality of social, educational and cultural life of the inhabitants in the municipality.

Influence on the human health One of the purposes of some of the planned accumulations is providing drinking water to a large number of inhabitants covered in the region where at the moment there is lack of quality water and uncertainty in supply. The water that is being used for water supply of households is previously subjected to treatment for purification and constant control of physical-chemical and bacteriological safety of the water, in water plants, which of course would have a direct impact on the health of the population and would improve the quality of life. In contribution to the protection of environment and human health are also the anticipated activities for forestation of the surrounding of the watercourses and the accumulations, as well as construction of facilities for recreation and sport. Regarding the human health of the population in the region, no significant adverse impacts are expected due to the type and the nature of the development projects (the construction of accumulations, dams and rubber compartments), which generally do not belong to the group of large and direct pollutants of the environment and human health, except in the construction phase when slight, short-term direct impacts on human health are expected (noise, vibration, air emissions from vehicles, dust, etc.). The construction of accumulations, dams and rubber compartments, will result in increase of the traffic near the site due to the construction work, that is, temporary presence of the construction machinery and the transport vehicles for transport of workers and construction materials. It will cause an increase in the amount of dust and exhaust fumes from vehicles in the air, and thus problems with respiratory organs among the population, particularly in the settlements where such activities will take place. Sources of noise will be the transportation vehicles for transport of the workers in and out of the subject scope as well as the mechanizing needed in the process of construction. Especially the noise will be enhanced in the phase of implementation of planned activities for the construction of reservoirs, dams, rubber compartments and regulation of the rivers. During the construction activities for regulation of rivers, especially in the settlements, attention should be paid not to exceed the allowed noise levels for a settlement and to take all measures for noise protection. Influence on the quality of air With the implementation of the objectives of the Study, no significant, long-term negative impacts on air quality are expected, especially because of the type and nature of the core activity of the facilities planned in the subject scope (water supply and irrigation). The main impacts of project activities on air quality are expected during the construction or performance of earthworks and concrete works for setting the foundations and the structures of buildings. The emergence of dust is expected as fugitive emission of the tiniest particles of soil, sand during construction of the new access roads, the final shaping of existing roads as well as during the clearing of the area and exploitation of materials for construction of dams, accumulations, compartments and the regulation of rivers, which may have a negative impact on the environment or cause respiratory irritation and breathing problems in the population. The emergence of emissions of combustible substances and the negative impact are with shortterm intensity, locally and through distribution of the pollutants affects on the air quality in the area. Increased frequency of vehicles is expected for delivery of construction materials and transport of workers in and out of the subject scope as a short-term and cumulative process.

The emergence of emissions of harmful gaseous substances from the eventually created dumps of solid waste, construction waste and hazardous waste by the construction sites is not excluded. The possibility of using the water in the accumulations and watercourses, as a renewable source of energy production from small hydro power plants, contributes to improving air quality on long-term and promotion of the renewable energy sources available to Macedonia.. But since this is a very small capacity of the planned hydropower plants (Ponikva, Bela Voda, Repnica, Dobrava and Plasinci) of total 13,75 kW, the importance of the renewable energy sources is minimal as a share of the total production. Influence on the quantity and quality of waters With the implementation of the objectives of the Study which primarily mean managing the waters of the river basin Bregalnica, very significant, long-term, positive synergistic impacts on water quantity and quality are expected, as well as benefits for the local population of rational use of the waters for water supply, irrigation and getting electricity. Efficient redistribution of water by space and time is expected which will provide water in the dry summer periods, and will reduce flooding. Higher quantities of water will provide increased capacity of the water body for self-purification. The destructive effects of erosion of land will be reduced and reducing of deposition of sediments is expected, thus providing greater accumulation space and efficiency in the operation of the accumulations. The regulation of the river-bed of rivers and the possibility to manage the flows of river Bregalnica and its tributaries will directly affect the regulation of minimum acceptable flows (biological minimum of rivers) for provision of water eco system. The project solutions will directly at long-term contribute to the protection and promotion of the aquatic environment and the biodiversity along the river. The positive long-term and most significant impacts on the water represent cumulative and synergistic impacts that directly affect to all areas of life of the population in the region. But, however, small, insignificant negative impacts appear. During the construction phase of building the facilities for regulation of r.Bregalnica and its tributaries, the following negative impacts on the quality of the surface and ground waters are expected: ¾ The disruption of earthen surface and the removal of soil cover can cause erosion of the sediments and potential contamination of nearby surface waters by increasing the level of solid suspended particles in them; ¾ Temporarily changing of the course of rivers, until the completion of construction activities; ¾ Reducing the flow of water in rivers, while following the legal regulations for providing the necessary biological minimum in water courses; ¾ Increasing the concentrations of heavy metals, nitrates and dangerous substances from nearby installations; ¾ Leakage of contaminated waters from areas of construction activities; ¾ Disposal of waste into surface waters. ¾ Leakage of wastewater from the temporary toilets (wastewater from the temporary toilets should be transported and removed by an authorized company and that is why impact on water quality is not expected).

¾ The access roads could change the regime of removing storm water due to the change of the permeability of the surface, removal of the vegetation and the performed modification of the earth profiles during the construction. The change of regime can cause erosion and sedimentation of the natural drainage paths, causing impacts on downstream surface waters. In the operational phase the following negative impacts are possible: ¾ Filling the accumulations, by water intake from the river Bregalnica and its tributaries alters the hydrological cycle, the quantity and quality of groundwater, but has long term positive impact in the controlled use of the water for water supply and irrigation, as well as for production of renewable energy. ¾ The rubber compartments that need to be made in the river-bed of river Bregalnica are intended to raise the water level in the river during the low watercourse and thus, despite the possibility of involvement of the irrigation water, a possibility of using the space for tourism is obtained. ¾ The operativeness of the dams and accumulations can result in potential minor adverse impacts on water quality, especially in the activities for maintenance and control of the infrastructure and the equipment of the dam. Potential sources of water pollution during this phase are: o Oil leak during maintenance and from turbines o Disposal of waste into surface waters o Creation of conditions for anaerobic processes in reservoirs ¾ Increasing concentrations of heavy metals, nitrates and dangerous substances from the surrounding installations and polluted watercourses where the untreated wastewater is being discharged, from the industry and the municipal water, also directly affect the water quality in the accumulations and rivers. In order to eliminate the negative impact of wastewater on human health by consumption of agricultural products irrigated with polluted water, it is urgent to construct treatment plants for the waste waters discharged into the watercourses. Influence on the soil The activities for construction of the facilities for regulation of r.Bregalnica and its tributaries, in the constructive phase, could hurt the geological characteristics of the soil, as a result of using heavy mechanizing and vehicles, transport and disposal of surplus excavated material, disposal of construction waste, extracting sand, gravel and clay from river banks and others. Some of the impacts that may occur in this phase are: ¾ Removal of the upper layer of soil during clearing the area, removal of vegetation, stones and roots of vegetation; ¾ During the construction of dams and accumulations, an excavation of large quantities of land occurs, as well as during construction of access roads, causing a change of the quality and profile of the soil, the changes and impacts are with permanent character and relate to the physical changes of the terrain and the use value of the soil; ¾ Erosion of land which is the result of the increased movement of soil during the digging of the ground and the construction, as well as because of cleaning of the vegetation;

-117-


Study for possibilities of regulation of the river Bregalnica (mini accumulations, cascades, dams)

¾ Compaction of soil as a result of the movement of vehicles, causing a reduction in infiltration of water into the soil and changing the regime of groundwater; ¾ Pollution of soil from leaks of substances, such as fuel or oils during the use of vehicles and the mechanizing or the release of some pollutants that are already present in the soil; With the exploitation of sand from the river-bed of the river Bregalnica and its tributaries, a disruption of the falls along the river-beds of watercourses occurs and an increase of water speed, which is the reason for a significant increase of the depths of river-beds in relation to the natural depth. The Study records that in some places erosion has strong influence on soil, of which the most widespread is the surface erosion which is manifested by surface flushing without forming or with already started process of forming grooves. At much smaller areas but with significantly stronger intensity, widespread is the grooved and the ravine erosion. Line erosion of the riverbed is most widespread at most of the watercourses to a greater or lesser extent, but its significance in some cases is significantly smaller than surface erosion. Influence on the biodiversity (flora and fauna) The impacts on the flora, that is the plant life, are assessed as significant in the construction phase, for cleanup of sites and the removal of vegetation in the locations provided for the regulation of river beds and the creation of accumulations. These changes will cause: ¾ Changes in the water regime; ¾ Loss of wooden mass; ¾ Changes in the regime of the streaming of air and its quality; ¾ Potential instability of the soil, danger of flooding and increased sedimentation of material; In the construction phase, activities that would have a potential negative effect of the autochthonous flora and fauna are: ¾ The increased frequency of vehicles and mechanizing will result in increased noise level, which can cause disturbance especially of birds and mammals in their usual activities for food and rest and their displacement. ¾ The previously mentioned activities potentially affect, mainly in small amount, to the loss of hunting grounds (at the bats), other mammals and birds and loss of resorts during the summer or have limited impact during the migration by the loss of places for nourishment and pairing. ¾ Change of flora and fauna in and around accumulations. Still it should be emphasized that the impacts on the biological diversity in the construction phase are short-term nature and that by implementation of appropriate preventive measures and procedures, they can be reduced to a negligible level. It is expected that some of the wildlife in the future will be reduced (due to degradation and fragmentation of their natural "homes" and habitats of movement) and part of individuals will displace, but it will not affect on the disruption of biological diversity on a global scale. An important measure to prevent the disruption of the water eco system is the minimum acceptable flow of rivers along the constructed buildings (mini accumulations, mini hydro power plants) which will provide a biological minimum in the water and life for the aquatic species of plants and animals.

Influence on the climate change The climate changes and impacts are minor and are mainly a result of the emission of exhaust gases that cause greenhouse effect (carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide). These gases affect global warming, which in turn causes changes in the intensity of the climatic parameters. Changing the water regime of the watercourses, as well as the construction and creation of accumulations, also changes the local micro - climate, especially in terms of increased humidity and temperature change that will positively affect the population. If implemented the construction of small hydro plants in the basin of river Bregalnica will have a positive impact on the micro - climate in the region since the resulting energy will be produced from renewable sources instead of burning fossil fuels. All this will contribute to reduction of greenhouse gases, but should bear in mind that it is insignificant amounts of energy that is being received from the mini hydropower plants. Influence on the climate change of the water resources sector On the other hand, climate change that is already taking place globally, in large affects on the vulnerability of the water resources sector from the permanent trend of increasing temperatures and decreasing the amount of rain. Republic of Macedonia as a signatory to the Convention on Climate Change of the United Nations and the Kyoto Protocol is obliged to prepare National Reports covering the topics of the impacts of climate change on all sectors, identification of vulnerable sectors and introduction of measures to adapt the sector to future effects of climate change. The water resources sector is one of the vulnerable sectors and in the Second National Report of Republic of Macedonia to the UN Framework Convention. The conclusions brought out in this Report say that an increase in water temperature is expected by reducing the flows which means danger to the water balance and the water world because of limited quantities of dissolved oxygen which is necessary for wildlife. Small streams contribute to higher concentrations of ammonia, nitrites and phosphates into the water and deteriorating quality of water resources. Generally, the reduced hydrological resources that are expected as a result of climate change reduce the power of the dilution of pollution, reduction of dissolved oxygen in water bodies and particularly for agriculture an increase of pollution is expected and the result is a violation of water quality, which on the other hand requires more funding for treatment to secure quality of its usage. The Study of possibilities for regulation of river Bregalnica by the defined objectives will directly help in adjusting the supply of the population with quality water for all the needs of the current but also future generations when it is assumed that the impact of climate change will be more expressed. Influence on the area In the phase of construction of the dams, accumulations, rubber compartments and other associated facilities, the appearance of the landscape will shortly change as a result of the activities to be undertaken on the ground in the form of clearing, digging of foundations, presence of transport vehicles, trucks and other mechanizing required for transport of construction materials and workers, setting of water supply systems and disposal of wastewater along the river Bregalnica.

But, a significant negative impact is not expected because the planned locations for the construction of dams and accumulations, are chosen in a manner to best fit the environment in accordance with the situation on the ground, that is to have earth material near enough, as well as to have already an access road to the profile of the dam (thus the needs for intervention are minimized), to have a favorable hydrology of the water flow as well as proximity to the settlements as an opportunity for the development of fishing, tourism and other economic activities that would derive substantial benefits from the construction of accumulation. It is expected that the implementation of project activities will have a positive impact on the area in terms of landscape and functional composing with the existing infrastructure and will act as a planned whole, which in future will contribute to the development of tourism and fishery. Influence on the cultural heritage The region along the river Bregalnica and its tributaries is characterized by the presence of numerous natural reserves and natural monuments, caves, waterfalls, archaeological sites and so on and these are listed in Chapter 6.1.7. It is a matter of a rich natural heritage and the possible negative impact on it, which would appear in the phase of the planned buildings depending on their distance from the project locations. Negative impacts can be defined after determining the boundaries of the same in a detailed urban plan, which will determine the precise locations and boundaries of each of these facilities with the detailed urban plans (planning documents), and at the same time also the exact location of the facilities for regulation of river Bregalnica and the tributaries, the exact distance, the interdependence and the possible impacts will be visible. If during the execution of construction works a locality is revealed, the constructor of work is obliged to stop work and inform the competent institutions to take appropriate measures. Objectives for environmental protection in the subject scope and measures for their accomplishment Objectives of strategic assessment of the environment and indicators The specific objectives of protecting the environment (Objectives of Strategic Environmental Assessment) during the realization of the objectives of the Study of possibilities for regulation of river Bregalnica are identified on the basis of an analysis of the environmental problems in the subject scope (the entire Eastern planning region) and identification of the most sensitive elements of the environment on which the most pressure is felt, and which would be mostly exposed to the negative impacts of the realization of the generally proposed project solutions in the Study. The specific objectives of environmental protection must be taken into account and parallelly to be accomplished together with the objectives of the Study when the planned project solutions will be realized. From the analysis made in Chapter 6 and Chapter 7 it is evident that the water as a medium (its quantity and quality and current and future use) is not the only sensitive element of the realization of the objectives of the Study despite the fact that the Study is focused on management with the water resources in the basin of river Bregalnica. It is because of the existence of other already sensitive environmental elements whose condition would be aggravated further by the realization of the objectives of the Study, why it is necessary for each significant element of the SEA (sea, air, biodiversity - flora, fauna, population, material goods, land, climate change, human health, cultural heritage and -120-


Study for possibilities of regulation of the river Bregalnica (mini accumulations, cascades, dams)

landscape/region) to have defined objectives of the Strategic Environmental Assessment as objectives for the protection of the particular element so that each element can be protected and able to get a promotion of its present condition during the realization of the Study for regulation of river Bregalnica. For each objective of the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) a set of indicators is appointed to monitor the implementation of the objectives for protection of the environment in the subject scope in the next period. Measures to mitigate, prevent the possible negative impacts of the Study Regarding the estimated possible impacts of the objectives of the Study on the various elements of the environmental there are measures proposed that must be implemented to prevent, reduce, mitigate or compensate the negative impacts that would occur during the realization of the objectives of the Study (Table). The proposed measures are mainly focused on identifying issues that should be taken into account in the preparation of other documents that follow after adoption of the Study, in the phase of identification of financial funds, preparation of conceptual, basic and performance project of each planned project. Monitoring plan In order to monitor the significant effects (positive and negative) of the realization of the objectives of the Study and to take appropriate measures on time, if the same are not realized or if they significantly and negatively affect the environmental elements in the subject scope, it is necessary to set indicators of SEA and their continuous that will provide systematic observation, examination and evaluation of the effectiveness of the measures introduced to protect, reduce or mitigate the adverse effects of the planning document. The monitoring plan that in summary establishes the relations between the elements of the SEA from the subject scope, the proposed indicators and the responsible for their monitoring, analyzing and, where appropriate intervention is provided in The monitoring plan will help to the Centre for Development of the Eastern planning region (to all covered municipalities) to review the situations in the subject scope in realizing the objectives of the study, the status of implementation of the planned measures and will further enable efficient planning of other infrastructural projects and will ensure sustainable development of the municipality. Only in this way, the objectives of the strategic planning document for managing the waters of river Bregalnica can be realized in a synchronized manner (parallelly) and the objectives of environmental protection in the subject scope can be achieved. Of course the local government of the covered municipalities is fully responsible for monitoring the implementation of the Plan for monitoring, analysis of the values of the indicators and the trend of decreasing, increasing them and comparison with the national or other relevant. The monitoring plan is part of the Appendix 5 of this Study.

If there is a filtering station, then its efficiency, type of technology in use, accepted design for constant monitoring of the drainage water and watching the recipient quality are important elements. Regular reports to the authorized institutions (municipality and LCSPP) about the data of the drainage water monitoring are also necessary. The installations should also respect the requests of the EU Frame Water Directive and the EU Directive for priority substance emission that are released in the drainage water because of a lack of national legislative (unfortunately the sublegislative acts which are based on the water law are not prepared and passed, yet). The future evaluation studies of the project influence or Elaborates about the environment protection should point out the water sources for the technological process, the way in which it will be returned to the process, the drainage water filtering solution, the building of the filtering stations, the recipient quality of the recipient that will receive the released water, the filtering technique and level, the plan for laboratory investigations of the drainage water quality before and after its treatment and the filtering level. COMMUNAL/URBAN DRAINAGE WATER The municipalities should start and realize initiatives connected to drainage communal/urban water collecting, its safe eduction to a filtering station and appropriate filtering before releasing it to the recipient. . Special attention should be paid to the mud treatment and its elimination. If it is eliminated as waste, it has to be controlled for dangerous substance contains (if it does, it should be treated as dangerous waste). Implementation of EU Directive requests for the possibility of using the mud on the agricultural ground regarding the presence of heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Cr, CU, NI, Zn, Hg), organic materials, pH values, nitrogen and phosphate and dry material. Using the best mud administration techniques, transportation and final elimination.

Minimizing ground pollution with waste waters which are used for irrigation of the agricultural cultures. Implementation of EU politics requests for ground pollution (EU Ground Strategy and Directive). Implementation of a number of measures of administrating erosive fenomena and processes in the basin areas and watershed beds (building erosion protection objects: barriers, channels, dams, accumulations etc.) The measure type depends on the strength (erosive, damaging), the watershed torrents, object and ground type that has to be protected. In the upper (source) part of the torrential bed, smaller barriers are set up, the target of which is bank consolidation and sanction of possible sliding. In the middle flow, cross barriers are built in order to keep away the alluvium of the opposite side. In the lower flow several measures can be applied: barriers for keeping the alluvium, regulation work etc... Forestation is one of the most effective measures to prevent erosion. Other general measures: Maintaining the vegetation surface cover on the erosion sensitive ground Restriction of vehicle movement and use of mechanization that causes ground pressure of weaker intensity Prohibition of making regular controls or fixings in conditions of downpours Checking the implementation of preventive sliding measures, inclination stabilization (supporting walls) if necessary Rehabilitation of eroded channels and bringing them to their natural condition/ replanting vegetation Clearing up the intervention spot after finishing the regular control Prohibiting building activities in conditions of downpours.

Building a regional dump for communal non-dangerous waste

Consequent implementation of the national legal regulation regarding waste administration and its appropriate treatment on regional level. Implementation of actual EU waste administration principle: a) minimizing waste generation, its selection on the spot where it has been created, recycling certain recyclable types to reduce the final quantity of waste to be replaced into a dump, using waste as energy. The dangerous waste, which is presently mixed up with the communal and transported to the regional dumps, is of special importance, it is strictly forbidden because it infiltrates the rivers through the ground. Waste collection, transportation and final elimination should be done by authorized legal people, who have got licenses for that activity (it is done with the dangerous waste, too). Reinforcing the local administration capacities, regarding planning, administrating waste (various waste types, waste identification according to the Waste list and appropriate administration with every fraction, inspection). Household education about the use and composting, as ways of administrating bio-decomposing waste. Preparing yearly waste reports (communal, non-dangerous and inert) which has been collected, transported and dislocated in the dumps, and delivered to the MEPP. Non-existence of regional dumps and waste dislocation to illegal and irregular dumps, impacts the other environmental media and their pollution (air, water, area, infective illnesses, skin diseases and diseases that are taken over from animals. Consequent implementation of national legal regulations and waste administration directives. Waste administration plans should contain waste administration rules (minimizing waste accumulation, selecting a spot for creation, recycling – making contracts with waste recycling companies, composting of bio-decomposing waste, waste reuse in a technological process, if possible, waste use as energy and final elimination of non-dangerous and communal waste separated from the dangerous in the dump...

Monitoring of the Administration of the Study 1. The monitoring and evaluation process anticipates gathering and analyzing data during the planned time period for realization of the activities in the study. The process includes continual informing about the progress of the realization of the set priorities or about the eventual changes as a result of the appearance of new priority tasks. The process should include all the interested subjects. 2. The monitoring process should offer answers to the questions: whether the activities in realization are in the function of the set targets; whether the desired progress is realized in relation to the improvement of the situation of the drainage-basin of the river Bregalnica and whether the planned activities are realized in accordance with the time frame. 3. It is necessary to establish and ensure functioning of the interaction between the local factors an the central authorities as well as continual collaboration with the wider community and the government organs, in order to ensure better realization of the set targets and tasks factors that anticipate a more successful administration of the study activities. 4. Informing the public about the realization of certain segments of the document and about the influence that the realization of certain projects has upon the maintenance of the region, are integral parts of the monitoring system. 5. These activities are in function of the document updating, which has to be considered open for extending and innovation in dependence of the needs and problems that appear in the basin. A list of evaluation indicators for the administration of the planned activities for each group of activities and the responsible subjects for the administration and monitoring is given in the table below.

Annex 1: Hydrology

Physical and geographic characteristics of the drainage-basin Location of the Drainage-basin and its size Geographic Position Geographically, the drainage-basin of The Bregalnica covers the east part of The Republic of Macedonia and lies on the left side of The Vardar. The drainage-basin lies between 42о 9’ 25” and 41о 27’ 20” north geographic length (Greenwich). The distance between the farthest north and farthest south points of the drainage-basin of The Bregalnica is 78 km, and between the farthest east and farthest west points is 102.25 km.

Picture: Area of the Drainage-basin of The Bregalnica Drainage-basin Limit According to the inclination of the ground and the stream of the river itself, the whole drainage-basin of The Bregalnica can be divided into three main parts. This division corresponds to the other physical-geographic characteristics of the basin, as are: the ground forestation, the climate and human influence, which define the flow regime consequently.

Study of possibilities for regulation of The River Bregalnica (mini accumulations, cascades, dams)

Annex 1: Hydrology Because of these reasons, the river stationeries have been located on places where the water flow can be controlled. They are: - Izvoriste-Istibanja - Istibanja-Stip - Stip-junction to The Vardar This division has been the basis of the elaboration of all the physical-geographic parameters. Of practical reasons, the division of the upper drainage-basin into a part to the Budinarci measuring station and a part from Budinarci to Istibanje has been accepted, too. The right dissolution of The Bregalnica begins at the top Cengino Kale, and above Berovo it spreads to Bulgaria, the drainage-basin of The Pcinja and The Vardar all the way to The Bregalnica flow into The Vardar and it spreads over 199.80 km. The left dissolution lies in the south and separates the drainage-basin of The Strumica and The Vardar from the drainage-basin of The Bregalnica. The length of this watershed is 204.1 km. The whole watershed of the drainage-basin of The Bregalnica is hydrologically entirely determined. In the east, the watershed of the drainage-basin spreads to the border of Bulgaria in length of 90.65 km. The cliffs of the mountains Vlajna and Osogovo, with picks of 1200 and 1800 m. altitude above sea level, make dissolution there. In the north, the watershed moves along the side of the mountains Osogovo and the picks of the Ovce Pole hills. This watershed separates the drainage-basins of The Pcinja and The Bregalnica. The length of the watershed towards The Pcinja is 83.4 km. The picks of the mountain Osogovo, along this watershed, lie on the altitude of 1200 to 1890 m. above see level, but, in the lower part, moving towards the Ovce Pole, it descends and passes over picks with 550 to 850 m. altitude above sea level. In the west and south-west, the watershed separates the drainage-basin of The Bregalnica from the direct drainage-basin of The Vardar. The length of the watershed on the right side towards The Vardar is 42.75 km. and lies on rises with the altitude of 220 to 500 m. above sea level. On the left, the border to The Vardar is 62.5 km. long and it actually separates the drainage-basin of The Kriva Lakavica, an influent of The Bregalnica, from the drainage-basin of The Vardar. There, the picks of the watershed are somewhat higher; 500 to 1100 m. altitude above sea level. In the south, the watershed goes to the highest picks of The Plackovica from 1200 to 1625 m. altitude above sea level and towards Radovish it descends to 400 m. altitude above sea level. The length of this watershed is 123.95 km. and it separates the drainage-basins of The Strumica and The Bregalnica. Length of the Watershed The total length of the watershed of the whole drainage-basin of The Bregalnica is 403.9 km. - The right watershed 199.8 km - The left watershed 204.1 km The total watershed is 172 km longer than the smallest possible of 232 km that presents the circumference of the circle the area of which is equal to the area of the drainage-basin. The diameter of that circle is 74 km. At the average, there are 10.7 кm2 drainage-basin areas per each kilometer of the watershed. The coefficient of the watershed development is: S 403.9 m= = = 1.72 s 232 S - Total length of the watershed s – Circumference of the circle the area of which is equal to the area of the drainage-basin

Annex 1: Hydrology This development coefficient can, to a certain degree, characterize the regime of the effluence. The smaller the development coefficient the more turbulent the effluence processes, and its decrease makes the water inflow slower. In the table below, the values of the watershed lengths of certain parts of the drainage-basin, as well as the values of the watershed development coefficient, are given (m). The values in the column (local) refer to the part of the drainage-basin between the particularly elaborated points, and the ones in the column (total) refer to the whole drainage-basin of The Bregalnica to the given point.

Area of the Bregalnica Drainage-basin The general characteristic of The Bregalnica drainage-basin is the shape irregularity of the drainage-basin. The enclosed graph of The Bregalnica drainage-basin shows that the area of the drainage-basin gradually increases from the source to the km 108+150, but downriver of this pont the larger influents come that make the line of area increase more rising. The stretch course of the drainage-basins of The Kriva Reka and The Sveti Mikulski River contribute to the rapid widening of the drainage-basin of The Bregalnica. The average width of the drainage-basin of The Bregalnica is F Bs = = 20.3km L F = Drainage-basin area (кm2) L = Length of the drainage-basin (кm) The analysis of the graph of the drainage-basin and the area table, gives the following: a) The right side of the drainage-basin is 1.35 times larger than the left one. The direct drainage-basins make 1391.5 кm2 or 32.3 %, and the drainage-basins of the influents make 2903, 5 km2 or 67.7 % of the total drainage-basin area. b) The area of the drainage-basins of all the larger influents on the right side (1819 km2) is 1.67 times larger than the left side area (1089.5 km2).

It generally consists of four valleys: Maleska, Pijanecka,

Annex 1: Hydrology Kocanska and Krivolakavecka. Among the valleys, The Bregalnica has cut the canyons: Maleska-Pijanecka, Pijanecka-Kocanska, Kocanska-Lakavicka and Lakavicka-Vardarska. Maleska Valley This broad and high valley, which covers the upper part of The Bregalnica drainage-basin, generally stretches in the east-west direction. In the east, it is limited by The Kadijica Cliff, in the west, by The Kamenica Cliff, and in the south and south-east the dissolution towards Strumica, with the highest pick Petlec, rises. The Maleska Valley is open towards north-west, the direction in which The Bregalnica navigates/penetrates. This valley is filled by lake alluviums of Pliocene age, as a result of which, its relief has got adequate specific forms as are the remnants of ancient terraces. The other higher areas, in which this valley has been evolved, consist of crystal schist and granite. Maleska-Pijanecka Canyon It lies between The Maleska and The Pijanecka Valleys. This canyon has been cut by The River Bregalnica in eruptive rocks. The canyon has been cut progressively, depending on the strength of the layer and the regressive erosion. There are preserved terraces on levels from 30 to 60 m, too (elevation 800 and 830). Pijanecka Valley It mainly extends from the south to the north, and then, it stretches towards the west. It is not a true river valley as we can primarily conclude. It is a valley, filled with Oligocene alluviums and lake sediments. In the east and west, this valley is limited by high cliffs, which are steep and mainly consist of schist. At its edges, this valley, as the previously mentioned one, has preserved terraces and higher lake and lower river sediments. Pijanecka-Kocanska Canyon It joins The Pijanecka Valley in the east with The Kocanska Valley in the west. This canyon is cut in Paleocene sandbanks, eruptive rocks and in schist. The very canyon is primarily cut in a plateau, the height of which is around 750 m. The relief of the canyon and the massif is mountainous with high, steep sides. Kocanska Valley It mainly extends from the east to the west. In the south it is limited by The Plackovica cliff and in the north by The Osogovo Mountains. Based on the appearances on the north final edge of this valley (eruptive oblique/inclination, thermal sources and other), it has been concluded that this side of the valley has descended along the fault line. At the south final edge, the valley has no signs of that type, but the steep final edge indicates tectonic descend. West of Kokand, layers of middle Oligocene have been found, on the basis of which we can conclude that The Kocani Valley was descended at the beginning of the Oligocene. There are more recent sediments in The Kocani Valley, and the lake layers have been covered with diluvia and alluvial alluviums. Kocansko-Lakavicka Canyon This canyon has been cut when The Bregalnica was leaving the Kocani Valley. It stretches to the Kriva Lakavica valley. At the beginning it is wide. In the environment of the village Krupiste, right, and of Krivaca, left of the Bregalnica, lake alluviums have been preserved. The obliques of Majuroca, Cair-Bair and Karakus, around 95 m high, extend in the south-

Annex 1: Hydrology west, on the left and on the south-east side. They are dissipated in the valley. They consist of Paleocene sediments. Right and north-west of the river Bregalnica the relief is miscellaneous. Eruptive heads rise on terraces of around 60 m high. Downstream of Cardaklija there are developed terraces of 25 and 40 m, which have been cut in Paleocene rocks. Right of the Bregalnica and north-west of Ezevo Pole and the valley of Ovce Pole, lake sediments of Pliocene age have been developed. Ezevo Pole, which presently represents dissolution between Ovce Pole and the Bregalnica, was a valley in the olicene, in which the lake of Ovce Pole flew through the Bregalnica. Lakavicko-Vardarska Valley The Bregalnica has cut a bed in Paleocene sediments, from the valley of Kriva Lakavica to its junction. It flows among capes, the tops of which are terraces and as a result of that its course is much curved. The relief of this part of the basin is low mountainous with plateaus, it is cut by many valleys and dry ravines with developed erosion. Conclusion The Bregalnica drainage-basin belongs to an old Rodop mountain massif. Tectonic replacements, ancient orogene and hircine movements, before and after the Pliocene ones, when the descending along the fault lines has happened, have taken part in the formation of the actual form and relief. The regressive erosion, which started in the Neocene, moves from The Mediterranean Sea over the valley of the Vardar to the highest parts of the basin. The basin has been intersected by many valleys and dry ravines which, in the upper part are shorter and with greater inclination, and in the lower part they are longer but less inclined. Drainage-basin Altitude above Sea Level The drainage-basin altitude relations are important regarding the rainfall regime determination, the snow percentage, the joint conditions, the evaporation and other.

Ground Inclination The ground inclination greatly influences the surface inflow, the inflow time and the water concentration in the river bed. The ground inclination influences the plunge amount and the underground inflow to the river stream. The inclination of the whole drainage-basin is defined by measuring the length of the contour and the calculation, done by using the following formula: H H â‹…L J = ( L1 + L2 + ... + Ln ) = F F Đˆ=Average drainage-basin inclination H=Altitude of the belt among the contours L=Total length of all the contours F=Drainage-basin area Average inclination of the whole drainage-basin of the Bregalnica amounts to 15.6%.

The Bregalnica basin belongs to the Rodop massif which is characterized with internal thick Paleozoic crystal masses. Depending on the granite intrusions ,which have happened in the eastern part, there is change of the mass composition and character; there are filas, sericite schist and other, further than the granite intrusions, which later turn into micaschists. Generally speaking, all kinds of rocks can be found in this area. Granite The granite has been exuded for the first time in the Paleozoic; these are The Osogovo granites and the granites along the Bulgarian border. As a result of the tectonic displacements, diacloses and harnishes have often been formed in the granite where it has mechanically collapsed. Consequently, all the granite mass is subjected to erosion, so all the recent alluviums in the drainage-basin of The Bregalnica (Pliocene and quartern) are full of granite sand and gravel. The granites in the western part of the basin were created later in the Miocene, but they have all differentiated from the other rocks, as the gabbroic diorites. Those are the granites near Stip, Tisa Bair, Bogoslovec and others. Vulcanites

Annex 1: Hydrology They have also evolved in relation with the Sava orogenesis, and the andesine rocks are the most prevailing ones in the Bregalnica drainage-basin. The whole ground along the lower flow of The Zletovka to the village Orel, in the east and the village Najmnici, in the west are covered with andesine. The andesines are subjected to fast decomposition and they give a lot of alluviums. The diorites, dacites and trahites are spread everywhere in the basin as products of the shallow intrusion or effusion and they have similar characteristics as the andesine. Paleocene Sediments They cover a large area of Stip to the junction of the Bregalnica to the Vardar, but they can be found around the Sveti Nikolska River between Zletovo and Probistip and around Carevo Selo, too. These sediments have been left there by the Oligocene Sea, mainly: sandbanks, conglomerates, marlies and clay. Pliocene Sediments The Pliocene sediments are loose or loosely connected sediments. They easily get denuded and slip to the valleys. They can be found in the area south-west of the Sveti Nikolska to the drainage-basin of the Vardar, in the valley of Kriva Palanka, in the valleys of Dragobase and Osojnica, in the upper stream of the Bregalnica, where they are most widespread and in the area from the Ocipolska River to Pehcevo and Berovo. The most widespread sediments there are: sends, loosely connected conglomerates, clay and basaltic breach. Quartern Sediments They are fine alluviums and gravel that fill the actual valley. Massive gravel and boulders cover the old river terraces and form cone alluviums in the mountain and valley lines. Tectonic dislocations have happened several times and actually, they have caused the appearance of topographic and geological diverse composition of the drainage-basin. The oldest orogenic movements have no influence on the firmness of the rocks. However, the Paleocene sediments have been pretty fragmented by these movements and they have formed diacloses and brachyblases; in that way greatly enlarging the porosity and waterpenetrativness of these sediments. The movements in the Pliocene have brought large fault lines, Sveti Nikole – Bogoslovec – Konce – Kosturino, when the cliff of Kriva Lakavica descended and Bogoslovec appeared, and then, the fault line at the village Blatec. During the quartern, individual tectonic units were formed, as the Ovce Pole cliff, from the village Keseler to Vrsakovo and the Kocansko Pole cliff, from the village Krupiste to Vinica. These two fields are consequences of the fault line that stretches in the west-east direction. Hydrography Main Stream Description The Bregalnica is the largest river in the east part of The Republic of Macedonia, which arises from The Malesevo Mountains at the Macedonian-Bulgarian boundary, south of the pick Kalaica, and it joins the Vardar at Ubovo. The Bregalnica receives its first larger affluent, the Ratevska River, at Berovo and it flows on to the north through the Malesevsko-Pijanecka valley. In the field of Delcevo, it deposits large quantities of massive alluvium; it changes its bed and takes away its banks. At Delcevo, The Bregalnica turns to the west, through a canyon valley, to the area after the inflow of the Kamenicka River and it flows to the south-west. At the village Istibanja, the river flows out of the canyon and continues through the Kocanska valley. In the upper part of the basin, to Istibanja, the Bregalnica still erodes its bed and it has the character of a mountainous river, in the middle stream, in the field of Kocani, it looks like a flatland river and it massively starts

Annex 1: Hydrology depositing its own alluvium. The banks are low and impermanent, so that the river changes its direction fast and easily, it takes away the banks or covers large bank areas with alluviums. After the flow of the river Zletovka into the Bregalnica, the Bregalnica enters a canyon valley again and there, its banks are more permanent. After Stip, the river cuts its bed deeply in Paleocene sediments, so that its valley gets a canyon character again. This part of the flow is characterized by strong meandering of the river. Longitudinal Profile of the River The length of the river, from its source to its flow into the Vardar, amounts to 211.5 km. Its source is on the elevation of 1200 m above sea level, and its end is on the elevation of 135 m a.s.l., so, the full inclination of its bed is 1065 m, or 5.05‰. According to its bed inclination, the Bregalnica can be divided into three specific parts. This division corresponds to the inclinations of its drainage-basin, which is also characterized with the quoted parts of the basin. The other attributes, as the forestation and the climate, contribute to the formation of various effluence conditions, so that this division actually distinguishes three areas with different geographic characteristics and affluence conditions. They are: a) The upper Bregalnica – from the source to Istibanja, the length of which is 99 km and its total inclination is 825 m; the average inclination of this part is i=8.35‰. This part of the river or the basin covers 27% of the total area of the basin, while in regard of the inclination it takes 77.3% of the total inclination. On the basis of this, it can be concluded that this part is mountainous with quite developed inclinations. b) The middle part of the Bregalnica – from Istibanja to Stip. The length of this part is 44 km, and its bed inclination is 113m, or 2.52‰. The inclination of the river, at this part, sharply diminishes and it takes 10.7 % of the total inclination of the river. It is characteristic that this part of the river gets a flatland character and because of the sharp decrease of the inclination it deposits large amounts of alluvium in the field of Kocani. c) The lower Bregalnica – from Stip to its flow into the Vardar. It is 68.5 km long, and the total inclination of this part is 127m or 1.87‰, which makes 11.9% of the total inclination of the river. In the table below, the inclinations and the length of the quoted shares of the flow as well as the total flow to the observed point are given.

The Bregalnica Affluents The Bregalnica has a well developed hydrological net. There are 16 larger affluents with a total drainage-basin of 2908.5 км2 or 67.7% of the Bregalnica total basin. Ten of the quoted number of affluents is on the right side with an area 1.67 times larger than the area of the affluents that the Bregalnica has on the left side.

Annex 1: Hydrology Drainage-basin Forestation The drainage-basin forestation consists of woods and wood cultures that protect the ground from erosion. The characteristics of the drainage basin of the river Bregalnica, regarding the natural function of the ground and its use, depend on the topo-orographic conditions. The clear distinction of the mountain chains and their different heights and the fields and valleys situated among them, roughly divide the ground into agricultural and forest localities. The forest localities, which are mainly mountain chains and hills, as the Malesevo and the Osogovo mountains, the Plackovica, the Ovce Pole hills, Serta and other mountainous branches, cover almost two thirds of the total area of the basin. As for the forests and the distribution of the forest areas, they greatly differ, depending on the natural and local conditions. The upper part of the Bregalnica, proportionally, contains most forests, the middle one has less and the lowest has least. The forest quality is best in the upper source part, then on the Plackovica, which comprises the upper and the middle part of it, and all the others are of worse quality. The forests and the forest areas in the upper part of the Bregalnica, cover around 2/3 of the upper part and regarding the quality, forests on both sides of the Bregalnica can be set apart. However, the left side of the river is considered as an expressively forest area with quality and high forests, while the right side is worse, both, in the area prevalence and the forest quality. The forests and forest areas in the middle and lower parts of the Bregalnica are mainly distributed in the middle part, actually to Stip. From Stip to the river flow into the Vardar, there are almost no forest areas, except some in the district of the Kriva Lakavica. The forestation coefficients of certain parts of the basin are: to Budinarci-0.37; to Istibanja: local-0, 27 and total-0.31; to Stip: local- 0.31, and total 0, 31; to Ubogo: local- 0.09, and total 0.24. The last one is, at the same time, the coefficient of the whole basin. The tables below display the physical and geographic parameters.

The building of the “Kalimanci” and “Gradce” accumulations, as well as the realization of the forestation programs of the basin areas, has greatly enhanced the forestation of the Bregalnica drainage-basin. However, the forestation has to be continued in the coming period in order to enlarge the forest areas and to prevent bringing alluviums into the accumulations, to prevent the erosive processes, to enhance the micro-climate, to decrease the watershed torrences and their flooding of the populated places.

Study of possibilities for regulation of The River Bregalnica (mini accumulations, cascades, dams)

Annex 1: Hydrology Rainfall Distribution As it can be seen in the isoheight yearly map, the drainage-basin of The Bregalnica gets small amounts of falls. There are falls above 700 mm only in the area of the fountain and in the mountainous parts of The Osogovo and Plackovica. The lower part of the drainage-basin of The Ovce Pole area, gets up to 500 mm falls. The central part of the drainage-basin up to Istibanje gets only 550 mm falls. The upper part of the basin of The Bregalnica almost up to Berovo and Pehcevo also gets small amounts of falls; they amount up to 600 mm. We can say that the largest area of the basin lies in a zone that gets 450 to 600 mm falls.

Figure: Graph of the minimum, maximum and average yearly air temperatures in Stip for the period 1961-2000 The upper basin of The Bregalnica is characterized with low winter temperatures, so that absolute minimums for that area of Macedonia have been noted there. The average yearly amplitude of extreme average monthly temperatures amounts up to 210小, while the absolute amplitude is 66 0小. Taking in consideration this, we can conclude that the climate of this basin is of a continental type. In the middle part of the basin, the temperature rises, so that in Delcevo, in July and August, there is a monthly average temperature of above 210小. The average yearly tempreture there amounts up to 11.9 0 小. - 32 -

Annex 1: Hydrology The average yearly temperature in Kocani is above 130 С, and the average monthly amplitude is 230 С. This area is characterized with high absolute amplitudes and a big number of worm days with temperatures above 300 С, which are accompanied with a low percent of humidity and drought. It can be concluded that this area is influenced by the modified Mediterranean climate, which penetrates along the valley of the River Vardar. In Kocani, there are 277 days with temperature higher than 50 С and 224 days with temperature higher than 100С, and finally 100 days with temperature above 20 0С. Some places in The Ovce Pole, Stip and Ergelija have the highest temperatures and they belong to the warmest area in the basin of The Bregalnica. The average monthly temperatures amount to 250С. There, based on great monthly amplitudes, the character of moderate continental climate can be noticed. There are many icy days in this region, but still, days with temperatures above 300С prevail, compared to the region of Kocani. Winds The wind speed rises on the move to the lower part of the basin. So, maximum wind speed of 16m/sec has been noted in Berovo, while in Stip and Ergelija, wind speed of 28m/sec and 35m/sec has been noted. Humidity Deficiency Water deficiency is calculated as a difference between potent evaporation and effective falls. That is an indicator of water deficiency in the earth. In the table below, the humidity deficiency for the stations, located in the east region, for the period 1971-2000, is given.

Study of possibilities for regulation of The River Bregalnica (mini accumulations, cascades, dams)

Annex 1: Hydrology String Homogeneity Considering that the building of the dam “Kalimanci” was finished in 1970, which has consequently changed the flow regime of the river Bregalnica, an analysis of the string homogeneity of the average yearly effluence has been made. The period of 1961-1970 has been taken as a zero hypothesis, and the period of 1971-2003 has been taken as hypothesis 1. The administration of the T-test has given the value of 0,0593, which is bigger than 0,05, and that shows that the strings are not statistically different, which means that the level of the average yearly effluence does not differ from the time before the building of the “Kalimanci” dam. Big Waters

The probability of phenomenon of big waters has been calculated by several methods, like Normal Distribution, 2 parameter log normal, 3 parameter log normal, Pearson type 3, log Pearson type 3 and Gumbel type 1.

It is clear that even the specific effluence per km2 of the basin decreases as the basin area increases, which is a result of the rainfall decrease, the temperature increase and appearance of other described escape factors, which are less convenient as the river flows closer to its junction. It is best noticeable in the particular basin parts balances.

Annex 1: Hydrology

Erosion and Torrent Phenomena of the Drainage-basin Erosion Phenomena The level of the development strength and the erosion phenomena in the drainage-basin area of the Bregalnica differs in dependence of the various natural conditions (the geologicalpedological backgrounds, the relief expressiveness, the weather conditions, the vegetation cover, the human activities and other). The erosive strength and its intensity are in accordance with the activities of these factors, both in positive and negative sense. The surface erosion is the most prevailing of all the erosive types. It is manifested by surface washing up without formation or with a recently started process of groove formation. On much smaller areas, but with much stronger intensity, the groove and ravine erosion is quite evident. The line erosion of the bed is most prevailing, in a greater or smaller degree, with a large number of torrents and watersheds, but its importance in some cases is less significant than the surface erosion. The prevalence of the eroded or areas affected by erosion, is more significant in the upper flow of the Bregalnica, on the right, but as well on the left bank, which is caused by a significantly higher level of forestation. Because of the nonresistant ground, the line erosion is developed on the right bank, too. The eroded areas are most frequently in the lower torrential perimeters, while they are less distributed in the wider perimeters and they cover some worse pastures, fields and bare regions. The eroded and with erosion affected areas on the right bank cover the right bank of the Zelevica, the area under the villages Crnik, Sivi Dol, then they can be noticed around the villages Pancarevo, Stamara, Zvegor and the Umiljanska river. These areas are mainly affected by surface ground wash up, followed by the appearance of groove and ravine erosion. The left affluents and their basins are characterized by significantly lower erosion affection, but with narrower basins of some torrents. The areas affected by erosive processes, in the middle part, are concentrated in some lines and districts, in dependence of the ground bareness and irresistible backgrounds. The areas with deeper pedological layers, average side inclination, irresistible background without vegetation, as the areas from Stip to the valley of Bucevo and from the Zletovska River towards the Ovce Pole direction, are characterized with large areas affected by surface wash up, but with low intensity. The number of areas where the process of groove, ravine and galley formation has started is not big; they are usually located in the pre-mountainous areas, above which steep, bare and resistant slopes rise. The most manifested areas of this type are on the left bank of the Kriva Lakavica, the foot of Plackovica and the area of the Bogoslovski massif. The line erosion is most spread, in large or small extents, at a bigger number of watersheds, but according to its dominating role, some areas on the left bank of the Kriva Lakavica can be sorted out. There, a whole net of galleys and torrents are affected by strong bed deepening and widening, then some torrents and galleys in the foot of Plackovica as well as some in the Ovce Pole. Torrent Characteristics The watersheds and torrents of the Bregalnica mainly have torrential character. According to their torrential character, they can be divided into three groups. The first one covers larger watersheds, which are recipients of the smaller and weaker watersheds and torrents, which mainly depend on them.

The second group consists of watersheds which are direct affluents of The Bregalnica or the affluents of the watersheds of the first group. - 55 -

Annex 1: Hydrology The third group consists of torrents and watersheds which are direct affluents of The Bregalnica or any other watershed with no regard to its size and torrential category. For easier characterization of the torrents and torrential watersheds, the area of the whole drainage-basin of The Bregalnica has been divided into 12 groups, which have been given the basic characteristics. Group 1 All the torrents from Berovo to the village Budinarci have similar all equal characteristics concerning the geological background, the climate and vegetation conditions. The geological background consists of Pliocene sediments, with the exception of the Kamenicka River where schist appear. The erosive processes are quite evident. There are various forms, created by the washing up of the delicate parts, as pyramids, cupolas, ravines and others. More than one half of the torrent material in this area does not reach the Bregalnica, but it is deposited in the field. They bring to the Bregalnica only around 58000 m3 of alluvium. Group 2 It covers the watersheds from the village Budinarci to the village Trabotiviste. Some characteristics can be generalized, as for example the geological background, which mainly consists of granite with, layers of crystal schist, quite frail and dilapidated. The vegetation cover is pretty good, particularly on the left bank of the Bregalnica, where even the erosive processes are not strongly developed. The torrents and watersheds of this group flow directly into the Bregalnica. They bring around 186000 m3 of alluvium to the Bregalnica. Group 3 It covers the affluent of the river Zelavica. Taking in consideration the configuration of the background which, in the lower and middle flows consists of sandbank, conglomerate and clay, the capacity of creating alluvium is really great. However, the pretty beneficial relief conditions significantly moderate the portage and washing of the material. Gently sloping sides, large plains and widened beds contribute to the weakening of the erosive effect and to the deposition of the washed material there. Around 75000 m3 of alluvium reaches the Bregalnica. Group 4 It comprises the torrents and the watersheds from the village Trabotiviste to the junction of the Ocipolska River. The torrents of this move have certain differences referring to the geological background as well as to the vegetation. The vegetation cover on the left bank is somewhat better than the one on the right. The geological background along the Bregalnica consists of alluvium sediments; the next belt consists of Pliocene sediments that spread over to the Ocipolska River. The torrents give middle quantities of alluvium. The majority of these torrents reach the Bregalnica, where they deposit the alluvium which amounts to 135000 m3. Group 5 It comprises the affluents of the river Kamenica and three affluents of the river Bregalnica. These torrents are located on a mildly mountainous ground; they have established beds with developed line erosion. There is no serious surface erosion. The line erosion is clearly expressed. There is mild forestation and the area is well grassed. They provide certain quantities of material. The river Kamenica brings to The Bregalnica around 70000 m3 of alluvium, mainly tiny and somewhat larger alluviums. The rest of the direct affluents of The Bregalnica give around 50000 m3 of alluvium.

Annex 1: Hydrology Group 6 It covers the torrents from both sides of the river Bregalnica from Kamenica to Istibanja. These torrents are in the canyon of The Bregalnica and they flow directly into it. They have steep falls, frequently with rocky beds and they carry middle amounts of material. Woody areas are few, particularly on the right bank. The geological background is on the right bank – schist, and on the left, there is granite, too. This group does not contain many erosive areas. Certain torrents have developed line erosion with signs of major swoops. The alluvium that reaches The Bregalnica is predominantly tiny and amounts to around 94000 m3. Group 7 It comprises the torrents and watersheds of The Istibanja and The Zletovska River. These torrents and watersheds are located on the sides of The Osogovo Mountains. They are mainly characterized with similar geological backgrounds – schist with existence of other rocks (chalkstone, Paleocene sediments), and there are more volcanic rocks towards The Zletovska river. The vegetation cover is insufficient with the exception of the upper parts of The Kocanska and The Orizarska rivers. The erosive processes are mainly developed in the sense of the surface erosion, while the line erosion is less developed. The quantities of alluvium are of a middle bulk that means that The Bregalnica gets around 128000 m3 alluviums from all the torrents. Group 8 It comprises the area of the drainage-basin of The Zletovska River. The affluents of The Zletovska River are characterized with major or minor torrents as a result of which The Zletovska river itself is torrential, too. The affluent net is much bifurcated, particularly in the upper and middle parts of the flow. The affluents in the upper flow, that are mainly woodymountainous creeks, are of a less torrential character. The torrential character is much more expressed in the middle and lower parts of the flow. The vegetation cover is good, particularly from Zletovo towards the north. The erosive processes are quite developed, both in the surface and line erosion. The alluvium quantities are significant, and The Bregalnica receives only the finest material in a quantity of around 84000 m3. Group 9 It comprises watersheds from The Ovce Pole, both as single watersheds or as affluents of The Sveti Nikolska River. The characteristics of these watersheds and torrents are conditioned by the specifications of the natural conditions of the ground. A major number of these watersheds are cut in a frail bed, so, the processes of line erosion are significant, and on the other hand, the minor falls of these watersheds ensure transportation of the most microscopic alluvium only, while the rest of the alluvium stays in the torrent beds. Besides, as a result of the mild falls of the ground and the large drainage-basins, the water flow is slowed up and diminished, so that the flow profiles can almost constantly accept the whole water. The surface erosion is less developed mainly in the hills. The wood cover scarcely exists. All these torrents of The Sveti Nikolska River provide around 50000 m3 alluviums for The Bregalnica. Group 10 It comprises the left affluents of The Bregalnica, actually the massif of Plackovica near Stip. The characteristics of the torrents directly next to the Plackovica are somewhat different than those located west of the village Burilcevo towards Stip. The first have more mountainous characteristics of the watersheds with quite a lot of water and large pieces of material with

Annex 1: Hydrology minor erosive areas and erosive processes of minor intensity. The torrents in the area near Stip have significantly major weather-worn surfaces; the alluvium is of diminutive size, but of larger quantity. The watersheds of the Plackovica series have a background of mainly resistant schist. The vegetation cover is good. The torrents towards Stip have a background of tertiary sediments that are pretty frail. The wood cover is insufficient. The major number of these torrents does not reach The Bregalnica; actually they deposit their alluvium in the field. The total amount of alluvium that reaches The Bregalnica from this group of torrents has been estimated at around 140000 m3. Group 11 It comprises the drainage-basin of The Kriva Lakavica. All the affluents of The Lakavica are mainly of torrential character. The left side is characterized with more expressive erosive areas and more developed line erosion. The affluents on the right bank cover a larger field with weather-worn areas, but with weaker intensity. The vegetation cover is better on the left bank. The geological background on the left bank consists of sedimentary rocks, and on the right one, of schist, granite and andesine. The quantity of alluvium is medium, mainly of diminutive size. The Lakavica brings around 52000 m3 alluviums into The Bregalnica. Group 12 It comprises torrents from the flow of The Sveti Nikolska River into The Bregalnica to the flow of The Bregalnica into The Vardar. There are 10 miner torrents and watersheds in this region with weaker activity that bring a miner quantity of alluvium into The Bregalnica. The alluvium that is predominantly of diminutive size with some bigger pieces settles out directly before the flowing of these torrents into the river. The total quantity of the alluvium of these torrents is around 35000 m3. In the table below, there is an audit of the quantity of alluvium per quoted groups of torrents:

Study on Regulation of the River Bregalnica (Mini accumulations, Cascades, Banks)

Annex 2: Small Accumulations on Tributaries of the River Bregalnica

Possibilities for building small accumulations General Taking into account topography, hydrography and the hydrological features of the field and its higher zone, the search for potential barriers-accumulations also is a search for water for them. Building the accumulations in the higher zone decreases not only the size of the drainagebasin, but also the potential expected balance of waters that would gravitate towards the accumulation. It is a fact that the area in the eastern region has great amounts of farmland with high productive possibilities, but also with enormous lack of humidity in the soil. That is the reason why the intensifying the agricultural production in the estate of land makes it necessary to supply permanent and reliable source of water for irrigation. Building the accumulation (bank) also redounds to cultivation of the area with the possibility of fishery, tourism and recreation development. The research and approval of potential accumulation (bank) is based on several postulates: - the location of the potentially approved accumulation to dominate above the areas included in the irrigation, i.e. the irrigation water to be brought to the areas by the way of gravitation; - a full load guarantee of the usable area of the accumulation; - if the appropriate area and the area for accumulation do not meet the necessary requirements for loading their own basin, then a rational solution should be found with having other basins by the way of transfering; - the proportion between the built-in material in the bank's body and the total area of the accumulation, which is the usable area of the bank, should be on a satisfactory level. Defining locations suitable for building small accumulations (banks) in the drainage-basin of the River Bregalnica There are many analyses and studies about this problems carried out in the previous years. More barrage places on the watercourses in the drainage-basin of the River Bregalnica are analyzed in these studies, but the most important is the Study on Preferential Small Accumulations in the Republic of Macedonia (original: " Студија за приоритетните мали акумулации во Република Македонија") carried out in the Water Economy Office of the Republic of Macedonia, Skopje, April 1980. Based on the study about 50 locations are determined for building small banks in the first phase in the region. During the election of the most suitable small accumulations in the Eastern highland it is taken into account the fact that there is sufficient soil material in the vicinity, and also there is already access road near the bank's profile, also convenient hydrology on the watercourse and also the vicinity of the settlements as the possibility for fishery, tourism and other economic branches which would bring greater benefits from the accumulation building. The accent is on the small banks of up to 18 m high, inclining towards upriver and downriver gradient of 1:2, made of local material. A preliminary geological prospect was carried out on every recorded barrier, and according to the positive evaluation of the barriers, fifteen suitable locations are determined for building small accumulations (banks). For those locations for which a main project is made there are complete geological examinations. Determining hydrological parameters for these locations is made by empirical way with many methods after which mediocre is done or with correlation to the measured places where

Study on Regulation of the River Bregalnica (Mini accumulations, Cascades, Banks)

Annex 2: Small Accumulations on Tributaries of the River Bregalnica Accumulation "Stara Vodenica" Geographically the objected area is situated in the municipality of Karbinci. The River Kozjachka is formed from the mountain springs and rises in the place of Bukovo in the Pljachkovica Mountain. In the upper part it is called the River Kuchishka, in the middle course it is called the River Kodzjda Dere, and in the lower part it is called the River Kozjachka and it enters in the river Bregalnica. As far as the quantities of water are concerned it is constant, the water is there even during the summer time. According to the citizens there, the river has never run dry. In the driest period there was a flow of 15 l/s. The drainage-basin is almost forested. The basin area is F=43.6 m2. Topography Topographically the accumulation profile "Stara Vodenica" is situated southeastern from the village of Kozjak with destination of 2.5 km and in the vicinity of the old church "Kozjak" with destination of 700 m. Topographically the profile is conveniently located and the height fall above the irrigation areas dominates. Geological prospect The profile is good and convenient strait for building earthen bank. Upriver, the valley widens and could make good accumulation. The accumulation bed has smaller fall and that makes it a good condition for making accumulation. The slopes are mainly stable. On the left side gully can be noticed which is inactive during elapsing drenching rain and during filling the accumulation erosion could appear with great intensity. From the right side the slopes are mild. Rocky material could be seen in some places. The profile's bed is made of alluvium load sediment, deeper to the rocky material. The coasts are made of rocky material. From the above mentioned, the location for building a bank from earthen material is suitable and is adequate for its purpose. Hydrology General information about the basin are given in the following table: Table: General information about the basin Parameter Value Basin surface area F=43,60 km2 Basin's scope О=39 km Watercourse length L=16,50 km Basin's altitude above sea level Hср=900 m Average annual rainfalls Hпр=580 mm Average annual temperature Тср=9,60 оС Humidity deficit D=3,35 mm Water inflating coefficient 0,165-0,310 (taken 0,230) Annual water inflating 5 820 000 m3 (0,184 m3/s) Annual evaporation Fср=780mm/year. Mid-year's capacity of bedload and suspended load sediments The annual quantity of bedload load sediments is 60.00 m3/year./km2, the annual quantity of suspended load sediments is 1713,50 m3/year.

Accumulation "Ponikva 1 i 2“

General The accumulations "Ponikva 1" and "Ponikva 2" have the purpose of water-supplying. It is planned that the accumulation "Ponikva" to be built on two levels, that is two small accumulations. There is a big necessity of water on Osogovo, especially after the building of the tourist centre "Ponikva" in which several hotels and a ski-centre are situated. The building of the accumulations "Ponikva 1" and "Ponikva 2" would solve the problem with the water-supply in the tourist centre and would contribute to the enriching of the tourist offers. Topography Geographically the area in question is situated in the municipality of Kochani. The accumulation "Ponikva" is situated in the place of Ponikva, from which it got its name. The accumulation itself was situated near the road Kochani-Osogovo, which is asphalted and it connects Kochani to the centre for sport and recreation "Osogovo". Building the first level, that is the upper profile, the road itself could pass through the bank's crown, that is to make a certain shortcut of the road-bed already built. Geological prospect The dividing place itself, as far as the topographic characteristics are concerned, is suitable for building a bank. From geological aspect, the terrain is suitable for building a bank, in the upper profile and also in the downer profile. The bottom and the inclines of the accumulation pool are waterproof. The underlay is made of clay. Bank's body material Clay for the bank's core could be used locally from the accumulation pool itself, which would increase the accumulation water. Stone, that is gravel and sands for the bank's body and the evacuation organs are supposed to be transported at a distance of 10 km. Hydrology The flow in Potok Klanica is constant. The minimal flow in the dividing place "Aramiska Cheshma" (upper profile) is 3 l/s, and the profile "Klanica" (downer profile) is 6 l/s. For determining the amount of water in the accumulation the average annual rainfalls are used and these are Hav=800 mm. The drainage-basin area of the stream Klanica is small but as the result of the constant flow of water that springs, it is considered that there is no problem with loading the accumulation. The flow of water in the accumulation pool from the drainagebasin area is calculated according to the rainfalls and the inflating coefficient measured by more than one person so that the average value is taken. The total inflating from the basin is: For the first level Vflow=100800 m3/year, q=3,2 l/s For the second level Vflow=302400 m3/year, q=9,6 l/s In spite of the small basin area there would be no problem with loading the accumulation with water.

Annex 2: Small Accumulations on Tributaries of the River Bregalnica Alluvium Despite the small basin, filling the accumulation with alluvium is insignificant (for the upper level it is almost impossible alluvium to appear). Evaporation The annual evaporation is calculated from the water area of the accumulation according to the rainfalls and to the average annual temperature for a longer period of time (several years). The average annual evaporation from the accumulation is Đ•av.=552,40 mm/year. Main information about the area of the drainage-basin The information is given in the following table: Table: The main information about the basin area of the accumulations "Ponikva 1" and "Ponikva 2" Parameter Value Basin's area F=0.90 km2 Basin's scope O=4.65 km Watercourse length L=1.00 km Basin's altitude above sea level Hsr.=1525 mnm Average annual rainfalls Hpr.=800 Average annual temperature tsr.=6o C Humidity deficit d=2.50 m Water-supply The water-supply for the users from the tourist settlement "Ponikva" is planned to be done through pump station situated on the right coast of the accumulation pool on the downer level. It is planned to have PVC pipes installed with Ń„ 125 mm and working pressure of 6 atmospheres. Energetics Under special circumstances the accumulation could also be used for energetic purposes, that is, 8000 kWh a year could be produced.

Annex 2: Small Accumulations on Tributaries of the River Bregalnica Accumulation "Chiflik" General Geographically, the mentioned area is situated on the River Negrievska in the ravine Maleshevska Kotlina, which is situated among the high mountains or their base. It spreads in the upper watercourse of the River Bregalnica, on the right side with altitude above sea level of about 900 mnm. The River Negrevska has its springs in the mountains Maleshevska Planini in the place of Bukovikj. It runs with great fall up until below the village, and then it takes another small creek which is called by the name Rakovec. So formed, the both creeks in one run with a fall around 4% to the village Chiflik where it infuses in the River Pehchevska. There are no water-worn areas in the basin up until the profile comes. The surface area of the junction is F=11.67 m2, together with the junction Rakovec. Topography Topographically, the accumulation profile "Chiflik" is situated in the vicinity of the village Chiflik, on north-eastern side. Geological prospect The location of the accumulation is built of marly-clay-sandy series that can be up to 20 meters high. The presence of layers of clay makes it a good condition because of the water-proof feature on the slopes of the bottom of the accumulation. Bank's profile, that is the downer part, is made of basaltic conglomerates, which means that there is no water loss on a location like that. On the left side of the accumulation pool there are surfaces cut with small water-courses which, for now, are inactive and of small proportions. When loading the accumulation, these surfaces are going to be saturated with water and land sliding can appear in some of these areas. In the following phase of projecting, these surfaces should be well inspected in order to suggest necessary measures to prevent these hot beds from possible appearing. These measures are not expansive and are necessary. Taking into account some negative characteristics of this terrain, the location for building a bank is suitable and adequate for its purpose. Bank's materials Materials for building the future bank are in the vicinity and they are of sufficient quantity. Access roads To the village Chiflik itself there is an asphalt road with roadway width of 5.0 m. From the village to the profile there is a village road. Every type of mechanization can access the profile. In the village there is an electric network. Hydrology There is no watermeasuring information about the River Negrevska. The available waters are determined through rainfalls. General information about the junction are given in the following table:

Irrigation The irrigation areas that could be water-supplied from the accumulation "Chiflik" are F=121 ha. From the soil types in the major part are brown wood soils (chajnichi) and they are spread between Pehchevo and the village Chiflik on the left and on the right side of the road Pehchevo-Berovo and Pehchevo-Negrevo. With disposition analysis and topographical suitability, the areas are going to be irrigated with water-pumping. The surprised water is going to be distributed in the network and from the network irrigation is going to be made by simulated rain. The pump station could be located on the left riverbank of the River Negrevksa. The height of the water lifting is H=50.0 m. The length of the surprised pipeline is L=800.00 m. The network and the surprised pipeline are planned to be made of plastic pipes of ф 100mm to ф 200mm. From the agricultural crops the following cultures could be present: tobacco plant, fruit plantations, bur clover, hop. Necessary quantities of water The flow module is 0.304 l/s/ha. The average norm for irrigation is 2380 m3/year. The total quantity necessary for irrigation of 121 ha is 273720 м3. the flow of the surprised pipeline is 44 l/s. Fishery During the "Chiflik" accumulation forming there would appear great conditions for sport and fishery development with local significance. Energetic The accumulation waters could not be used for energetic because the water is pumped from the accumulation, directly in the network for irrigation.

Annex 2: Small Accumulations on Tributaries of the River Bregalnica

Accumulation "Crnik" General Geographically, the area in question is part of the ravine Maleshevska Kotlina, which is situated among the high mountains or their base. It is situated in the upper course of the River Bregalnica spread on the right side with altitude above sea level of about 900 mnm and it is spread in the upper course of the River Bregalnica, being on the right side with altitude above sea level of about 900 mnm. The River Zhelevica springs from the mountains Maleshevski Planini in the place of Treshchen Kamen in the vicinity of the border with the Republic of Bulgaria. Zhelevica is a right confluent of the River Bregalnica and one of the bigger confluents. The River Zhelevica does not run dry during the year and it has a significant flow. The accumulation is planned to be built in the vicinity of the village Crnik. The necessary water for the accumulation would be brought by Tyrolean barrage from the River Zhelevica and by intake pipeline would be brought to the accumulation. Topography Topographically the accumulation profile "Crnik" is situated upriver from the village Crnik, municipality of Pehchevo and north from the village Crnik, below the village Kadica. The location was chosen by analysis of many profiles and water-courses of a situation and on-thespot circulation. Regarding its technical, topographical and engineering and geological characteristics, the location belongs among the adequate locations for building such an object. Geological prospect In order to define the engineering and geological characteristics by the Construction Institute "Makedonija" from Skopje in 1989 engineering and geological researches were carried out, and the results from these researches are given in a special elaborate. The wider area of the junction of the River Vinichka Reka lies on rocks from the Precambrian era like quartz - chlorite - sericit - schists, old Paleozoic granitite, quartile swamp lake sediments. The bank's location is completely built of fresh strong locally cracked quartzite, covered by strong layers of lake-swamp sediments. the mineral composition of these rocks is relatively simple and flat of the researched location Bank's materials The materials for building the bank are situated near the divided place. Material for the supporting objects is planned to be pulled out of the left flank of the accumulation volume, and the clay from the location also in the vicinity of the bank. Adequate filter material is placed in the river-bed downriver from the village Crnik. Access roads The village Crnik is connected with an asphalt road with the highway road Berovo-PehchevoDelchevo. From the village Crnik to the profile itself there is a village road that should be widened and smoothened with bulldozer in order to find mechanization necessary for building the bank "Crnik". The village has electricity network.

Accumulation "Vladimirovo 1" General Geographically the area in question is situated on The River Selska Reka in the ravine Berovska Kotlina which is situated among the high mountains or their base. It is placed in the upper course of the River Bregalnica, spread on the left side with 800-1300 mnm altitude above sea level. The River Selska Reka is formed by mountain springs at the place Gradishte. Concerning the water quantity, it is constant till it enters in the village Vladimirovo it is full of water even during the summer. After it enters into the village the water is separated for irrigation of small gardens. During the winter period and during the spring it is used for mills, cresses, put subsequently one next to the other in this small area. Below the village, the River Selska Reka has another name and it is called the River Vladimirska Reka and it enters into the River Bregalnica. The ravine is situated among mountains that are well forested with pine plantations. This area has continental mountain climate. The surface area of the drainage-basin is F=5.4 km2. Topography Topographically the accumulation profile "Vladimirovo 1" is placed southwestern above the village Vladimirovo at 1200 m distance. Topographically the profile is conveniently located and height fall dominates above the surface areas that are irrigated. Geological prospect The accumulation's downhills are forested with pine plantations. That means that the downhills are stable, and there is no erosion. The terrain consists of crystal schists that are mainly gneiss, but there are also mica schists, filets with chloride schists. The earth color of the chloride is predominating in the schists, but there are also amphibole and biolith. The profile itself is located in a bay. Upriver from the profile, the accumulation is widened and topographically is quite convenient. Starting from the river-bed in the accumulation itself to 6 meters of height the downhills are with plant cover, and the convenient places are with pine plantations. It could be stated that during building of the future accumulation would not make any loss of water, which should be confirmed in the further phases of projecting. The left flank of the profile itself and part of the bottom the terrain is rocky, and the right flank of alluvium material. According to the people living there the River Selska Reka does not run dry. That could make us certain that the loading of the future accumulation with water would be ensured. From the above mentioned the location for building a bank is adequate and it suitable for its purposes. Bank's materials Earthen materials for building the future bank are in the vicinity of the profile and they are of sufficient quantity, and that is the reason why the bank is most adequate to be made of earthen materials.

Accumulation "Rakovec" General Geographically the area in question is situated on the River Rakovec in the municipality of Pehchevo. The River Rakovec to the place of the division has drainage-basin of F=1.46 km2. Topography Topographically the profile of the accumulation "Rakevec" is situated in the vicinity of the city of Pehchevo. Geological prospect With the research things of the bank's profile and the accumulation volume there are pluvial materials which consist of minces of square shaped pieces of dacites and brechi with brownred clay and presence of sand. In the river-bed of the creek there is an alluvium load sediments with relatively small volume. From seismic viewpoint this area belongs to the wider area in which there is a possibility of earthquakes to 10Đž magnitude Mercalli intensity scale. Water penetration through etages of the barrage is not examined, and it is determined in a laboratory and there are coefficients of filtration Đş=10-6 to 10-9 cm/s and according to that water loss from the accumulation through the layer of the barrage could not be expected. From the above mentioned it could be stated that the bank's location is suitable and adequate for its purposes. Bank's materials Together with the researches about the bank "Rakovec" there are analyses done also for the material fields for building the dike type of bank. With the researches it is confirmed that material for the supporting bodies of the bank could be used from the accumulation volume, especially of the right flank upriver from the barrage in indefinite quantities. There is some material for making clay core in a distance of 1.0-1.5 km from the dividing place in the vicinity of the city of Pehchevo. As a material for making bank's filters the alluvium load sediments of the River Bregalnica could be used by satisfying the granular metric composition according to the project conditions. Access roads Near the bank's profile there is a road that should be widened in order the mechanization necessary for building the bank to pass through.. Hydrology There are no water measuring information for the River Rakovec. Determining the accessible waters is done through rainfalls, but also from the date for the flow of the surrounding.

Annex 2: Small Accumulations on Tributaries of the River Bregalnica

Municipality of Delchevo In the municipality of Delchevo according to the previously made studies as possible locations for building small accumulation (banks) in the drainage-basin of the River Bregalnica ten locations are determined. In the following tables the basic characteristics of those accumulations are given. According to the perceptions and on-the-spot analyses, the accumulations "Bela Voda" on the River Gabrovska and "Repnica" on the River Repnica are determined as priorities, and these accumulations are going to be elaborated in details in the following text. The given profiles are elaborated on the base of the terrain prospect with onthe-spot inspection and situation to 1:25000. Engineering geological and geomechanical examinations are not carried out. In the following phase of projecting the priority profiles it is necessary to have complete engineering geological and geomechanical inspections. Beside the banks "Repnica" and "Bela Voda" in 2004 there is a main project done for the bank "Bigla" on the creek Zarovec.

Study on Regulation of the River Bregalnica (Mini accumulations, Cascades, Banks)

Annex 2: Small Accumulations on Tributaries of the River Bregalnica Accumulation "Bela Voda" General Geographically the area in question is situated on the River Gabrovska in the ravine Delchevska Kotlina, the second ravine on the water-course on the River Bregalnica. The ravine is surrounded by the massif Osogovski Masiv, part of the mountains Maleshevski Planini and Golak. The River Gabrovksa Reka springs north-eastern from the MacedonianBulgarian border at the place of Zlatanovska Maala. To the right confluent Crvarica, the River Gabrovska Reka is called Stari Dol and it runs with a great fall. Then from the inculcation on the right confluent Crvarica to the village Gabrovo it is called the River Crvarica which is called by the name of the right confluent and it runs with a fall of around 2.5 %. From the village Gabrovo to the inculcation in Bregalnica itself it is called the River Gabrovska Reka. The drainage-basin is almost 90 % forested. There are no erosive areas in the junction, up until the profile. The surface area of the drainage-basin is F=22.00 km2, together with the inculcation of the right confluent the River Crvarica. Topography Topographically the accumulation profile "Bela Voda" is situated north-eastern above the village Gabrovo in a distance of 1.5 km and 4 km from the city of Delchevo. Topographically the profile is suitably located and it dominates in height above the surfaces that are going to be irrigated. Geological prospect Accumulation downhills are forested and stable. The surface layer of the accumulation downhills to the height of 25-30 m consists of downhill diluvia material. Rocky material could be noticed on some places. The accumulation bottom along its whole length consists of river alluvium. In the profile itself the right flank is made of rocky material. Along the left flank also rocky material also could be noticed, but the diluvia downhill material prevails. The river-bed in the profile itself is wide and it is 15-20 m. With terrain measuring there is a flow measured of 3 l/s, and according to the citizen's telling in the village Gabrovo there was not a case when the river Gabrovska ran dry, which means that there would be sufficient quantity of water supplied for the future accumulation, because the drainage-basin is quite big for small accumulations and it is of F=22.0 km2. From the above mentioned facts it could be stated that the location for building a bank is suitable and adequate to its purpose. Bank's materials Earthen materials for building the future bank are enough and they could be found in the vicinity of the profile and they are of quite sufficient quantity. Access roads From Delchevo to the village Gabrovo there is an asphalt road which driveway is of 5.0 m width. From the village Gabrovo to the profile itself there is a village road and it is necessary to have it widened and adjusted, so that the mechanization could access the profile. There is an electricity network in the village.

Study on Regulation of the River Bregalnica (Mini accumulations, Cascades, Banks)

Annex 2: Small Accumulations on Tributaries of the River Bregalnica

Accumulation "Repnica" General Geographically the area in question is part of the ravine Delchevska Kotlina which is second ravine on the water-course of the River Bregalnica. The ravine is surrounded by the massif Osogovski Masiv, part of the mountain Maleshevska Planina and Golak. The River Repnica springs from the Macedonian-Bulgarian border near the place of Kitka. The River Repnica is the right confluent of the River Bregalnica. To the accumulation itself the river-bed is narrow and with quite a big fall, in the accumulation itself the river-bed is widened and the fall decreases, then again it narrows and the bank is located in this couloir. Below the bank, the river valley is wide and that way to the inculcation into the river Bregalnica. The River Repnica often runs dry in dry periods and there is no flow of water. The surface area of the drainage-basin is F=5.67 km2. Topography Topographically the accumulation profile "Repnica" is situated on the east from the village Trabotivishte in the vicinity of the village Virche in a distance of 1 km and 3 km from the inculcation into the River Bregalnica. Topographically the profile is suitably located and it prevails above the surfaces that are subject of irrigation. Geological prospect Accumulation downhills are mainly forested. There are some places which are not forested, but they could be, prospectively. In the upper places of the valley of the river there are some local places which are erosive and during drenching rain penetrating that alluvium in the further course surely would get to the accumulation. That is why, prospectively, it is necessary to take some measures for downhills protection from surface erosiveness in the drainage-basin. These measures could be with forestation of the field or some other anti-erosiveness measures. These expanses are small in relation to the bank, but they are not necessary. The profile itself is a couloir that downriver from the profile the ravine suddenly widens, and that would mean that topographically that location is adequate. The bottom is situated on elevation of 740.00 mnm. River-bed width is around 10-12 m. The bottom consists of river alluvium. Both coasts of the profile consists of rocky material. From the above mentioned from geological perspective the accumulation and the profile are suitable and adequate for their purposes. Bank's materials Materials for building the future bank are with quite sufficient quantity and they are in the vicinity. Stones for the supporting bodies are situated upriver from the profile. Clay, necessary as anti filtering element for the bank is at a distance of 1000-1500 m.

Annex 2: Small Accumulations on Tributaries of the River Bregalnica Accumulation "Grncharka" General The profile and the accumulation itself are situated in the dry valley in the place of "Grncharka" right above Vinica. The accumulation's loading would be done by taking the water form the River Vinichka. By building the bank "Grncharka" the accumulated waters from the accumulation could be used for irrigation of the surfaces from Vinichko Pole, water-supply of the water industry, and there would be sports and recreation conditions for the city population and the surrounding villages in the municipality. Topography Topographically the accumulation profile "Grncharka" is suitable for building a small bank to 18 m high, which prospectively, could be made higher. Geological characteristics From soil inspection of the surfaces for the bank "Grncharka" it is stated that there was a surface layer of humic material, which downwards it transfers into clay with greater density. Bank's materials Clay material for building water-proof element of the bank could be found in the vicinity of the location, and sand and gravel could be found in the river-bed of the River Vinichka. Access roads The bank location is situated at a distance of 2.5 km from the Vinica-Berovo road. There is road that should be widened so that the mechanization necessary for building the bank could pass through. The water barrage from the River Vinichka is situated at a distance of 4 km from the bank's profile. Hydrology The accumulation loading with water is done by water barrage from the River Vinichka, whose minimal flow is 12-14 l/s. The River Vinichka springs out of the mountain Plachkovica. The drainage-basin is not very big, it is quite forested and with almost no erosion.

Accumulation "Dobrava" General . Geographically the area in question is situated on the River Sushichka, 3 km southeastern from the village of Pepljani. The bank is planned to be earthen-bank with 18 m height. The accumulation water would be used for irrigation of agricultural areas. Topographically Topographically the accumulation "Dobrava" profile is situated on the River Dushichka at 3 km distance from the village Peklani, at altitude above sea level of 688 (elevation of the bank's crown). The topographic circumstances allow building of a bank with 18 m height. It is possible to have it built higher in the future. Geological prospect The river-bed and the coasts of the future accumulation are rocky, which makes it a good underlay for building the bank. In the upper places on the river valley there are several local places that are erosive and during drenching rain that alluvium in the further course surely could get to the accumulation. That is why, prospectively, it is necessary to take measures for downhills protection of the junction area from surface erosion. These measures include forestation or other anti-erosion measures. The expanses are small in relation to the bank, but they are necessary. From the above mentioned from geological prospect the accumulation and the profile are suitable and adequate to their purposes. Bank's materials Materials for building the future bank are in the vicinity and they are of quite sufficient quantity at around 1000 m distance. Access roads The village Pepljani is at 10 km distance from Vinica and it is connected by an asphalt road. From the village to the profile at 3 km length there is a road which it is necessary to have it widened so that the construction mechanization could pass through for building the bank. There is an electricity network in the village. Hydrology On the River Sushichka there are no measuring of the flow and water-level done, because there is no water measuring station. Determining the available quantity of water is done by the average rainfalls. General information about the junction are given in the following table:

Accumulation "Vinichka" General Geographically the area in question is situated on the River Vinichka in the municipality of Vinica. The River Vinichka near the place of the division has drainage-basin of F=11.41 кП2. Topography Topographically the accumulation "Vinichka" profile where building a bank for small accumulation is planned, is situated in the downer course of the river at the very exit of the mountain canyon part of the river bed. The divided place characterizes with big incline on the right downhill and very mild incline on the left downhill. Geological prospect Geological composition of the terrain on the divided place and also the wider area consists of schists, decayed on their surface. The divided place itself has schists in their basic rock, and onto it, it is deposited with load sediments. In the river-bed the basic rock is near the surface. The right flank has a basic rock on depth of 3.0 m, and the left flank it is on depth of 2.0 m. From the above mentioned it could be concluded that the bank's location is suitable and adequate to its purposes. Bank's materials For building the bank the material would be used from the upriver from the division itself in the accumulation volume. The material, according to its characteristics and its composition, suits the type of division with certain selection of surface layer. For the clay core the material is in the vicinity downriver near Vinica of both coasts. Access roads The bank's profile is in the vicinity of the city of Vinica and it has an access road through which the mechanization necessary for building the bank could pass.

Accumulation "Pleshanci" General Geographically the area in question is situated on the River Pleshanski dol in the municipality of Probishtip. The River Pleshanski dol has never run dry and it has junction area of F=5.00 км2. Topography Topographically the accumulation profile "Pleshanci" is situated in the vicinity of the village Pleshanci at around 900 m distance. Geological prospect The downhills of the accumulation are forested and stable. The water-course fall before the profile is small and it makes it a good condition for building small accumulation which would be 18 m high. The accumulation itself is suitably located and the height fall prevails above earthen surfaces that are to be irrigated. From the above mentioned it can be concluded that the bank's location is suitable and adequate to its purposes. Bank's materials Earthen materials for building the future bank could be found in the vicinity of the profile and they are of sufficient quantity. Access roads The village Pleshanci is connected to the city of Probishtip by an asphalt road. From the village to the bank's profile there is a road that should have it widened so as the mechanization necessary for building the bank could pass through. Hydrology There are no water-measuring information about the River Pleshanskii dol. Determining the available waters was done through rainfalls. General information about the junction are given in the following table: Table: General information about the junction Parameter Value Junction's surface area F=5.00 km2 Junction's scope О=9.00 km Water-course length L= 3.00 km Junction's altitude above sea level Hср=868 m Average annual rainfalls Hav=538 mm Average annual temperature Тav=9.8 оС Water inflating coefficient 0.21 Annual water inflationg 644 700 m3 (0.0204m3/s) Annual evaporation Fср=600 mm/year.

General In order to supply complete function of the river-beds in the space, and to keep and encourage development of the river-side vegetation, and also to reach completion of the underground water reserves in the river alluvium valleys, but also to have positive esthetic effect in the period of small waters, it is necessary to stabilize the river-beds in their height and to prevent any further degradation and deepening. The sand exploitation from the river-bed of the River Bregalnica and its confluents has caused disorder of the longitudinal falls of the river-beds and increasing water speed, that is why there is significant increasing of the river-bed depths in comparison with their natural depth. This problem could be solved in two ways and that is by regulation and arrangement of all rivers in the drainage-basin of the River Bregalnica which is rather expensive but long-term solution. The second way is by intervention and obstruction of the most suitable places along the river-beds length, in order to reach river-beds' natural level. Stabilization in height of the river-bed of the River Bregalnica could be reached by building cross barrages along the length of the River Bregalnica. These cross barrages could be built as strong monolithic construction, known from the practice as concrete cascade thresholds or by movable constructions, rubber sacks, fixed to the river-bed, and with their manipulation laking of the water level could be made during smaller river flow. By comparing the types of a classic kind of a barrage, of concrete threshold with the necessary height in function of the conditions that should be fulfilled and of a barrage of an elastic type with applying a rubber sack on the part of the barrage, strongly tight to the concrete threshold, it is determined that the elastic type of barrage with a rubber sack is significantly cheaper and practical for building and exploitation. The relation is 1:3.5 to 1:4.1. The advantage of such a barrage, except for its price, could be seen from the following aspects: - Efficient water over-flow during bigger quantities of object capacities for catching, without intervention (opening or closing the fasteners); - Easy and efficient change of the height of the barrage through manipulating object; - Making natural conditions for flow of water in the river-bed after the season of irrigation by dropping the rubber sack; - Self-purification of the accumulation space (before it) from the alluvium and other objects during greater water flow. - Positive ecological effect and well integrating in natural ambient by choosing the rubber sack etc. That is the reason why building barrages with a rubber sack was preferred and the following text would explain the examined possibility for their application.

Barrages with rubber sack The advantage of the sack barrages has already been proved and it has great conditions for intensifying their using of the Eastern Plan Region. The sack barrages mainly could be used by catching water of much better quality for all potential users of the surface waters of the River Bregalnica and other water-courses in its drainage-basin and for improving the ecological conditions in river-beds. Unfavorable ecological condition during small waters flow through the river-bed of Bregalnica through Shtip, could very simply be solved by application of the sack barrages in a system. The way of functioning of the rubber sacks would be explained in the following part of the text. In the river-bed with a strong base, which could be made of concrete plate or cascade threshold with widen surface, the movable part of the construction is being tight up, for which the term "rubber sack" has already been accepted. The sack consists of a rubber reinforced canvas, which is tight to the concrete underlayer and it forms a closed space in a form of a pipe set across the river-bed. Through a pipe built in the strong concrete construction water is being carried or air in the inner part of the sack. On the river-side a manhole is being built, with a chamber for maintaining the higher water level of the sack, in relation to the laking level of the river. The manhole itself is also used for unloading of the sack, which enables manipulation with and it is being controlled on the level of the river. Greater inner water pressure or the pressure of the air in the sack, regulated through the manhole holds it in an erected form. During increasing the water level of the river, if the pressure in the sack is maintained constant, the difference between the outer and the inner pressure is decreased and the sack is gradually unloading and it slowly subsides on the riverbed. The sack moving could automatically be regulated or obligatorily to intervene according to the needs. At the same time, for sack manipulation it is necessary only to have difference between the inner and the outer pressure, so that even at longer distances it is not necessary to bring energy. Automatic regulation of the water-level could very simply be reached through maintaining and dropping of water or air from the manhole. The following pictures show three-dimensional view and cross-cut of a barrage with a rubber sack with basic characteristic elements. Each barrage with a rubber sack consists of the following basic elements: concrete threshold, connecting elements, spillway, zone thresholds, rubber barrage (sack), manipulative manhole, fish path. The following text gives a short description of all constitutional basic element:

Додаток 3: Гумени прегради во сливот на река Брегалница Concrete threshold The purpose of the concrete threshold is to be a foundation, that is a stable and flat underlayer for a rubber barrage, and its dimensions could enable receiving all loads of water and the rubber sack. The concrete threshold with a rubber barrage is connected with special elements for tighten. It is made so that it is 50 cm from the river-bed, by forehead inclining of declivity of 3:1. The foundation depth is 1.5 m, which is the thickness of the concrete threshold. The threshold is made of concrete MB 20 with no armature. The making of concrete threshold as a rule should be during the dry months, because during the dogging of the foundation of the concrete threshold underground water appears and it is the smallest during summer period. Connection elements The connection elements of the rubber barrage with the concrete threshold consist of steel Y profiles and anchors that are set in the threshold during the concreting. Their setting is made with great precision during which geodetic control instruments are used. Spillway Spillway is made along 30 m length upriver and downriver to the concrete threshold and its purpose is to prevent erosive processes immediately to the concrete threshold. During erected rubber barrage (2.0 m) in the downriver spillway controlled dissipation of the energy in the course would be made. It is made of stones with minimal diameter of 30 cm in concrete underlayer of MB 30 and minimal thickness of 20 cm. This underlayer is made of layer for balancing from craggy stone or thick grit stone. The inlay is stretched on the river-bed and its inclines. Upriver and downriver the spillway end with zone thresholds. On the inclines the inlay ends with finishing stone with a minimal dimension of 60 cm. The inlay of the spillway above the inclines, in the bottom ends with a scissor from mounted stone ashore. The scissors depth is 0.9 m or 1.4 m together with the inlay. The minimal dimension of the stone in the scissors is 30 cm. Zone thresholds The spillway and the concrete threshold downriver and upriver begin with zone thresholds from gabions. The purpose of these zone thresholds is stabilizing and protection of the regulated river profile. These are made of gabions with 2.5x1.0x1.0m. Rubber barrage (sack) The rubber sack (barrage) has the purpose to rise the water-level in the river-bed in conditions of small waters in order to supply catching of the necessary quantities of water for irrigation or for forming small accumulation for recreation and esthetic purposes. The basic characteristics of the barrage are: - rubber barrage height; - rubber barrage scope; - surface of the cross-cut of the rubber barrage; - minimal length of the concrete threshold.

Додаток 3: Гумени прегради во сливот на река Брегалница Manipulative manhole The manipulative threshold has the purpose of controlling and managing the rubber barrage (sack), so as it directly influences on the water-level to which the sack rises (falls) in order to cause deceleration. It is located on one of the river-sides at 15 m distance from the regulated river profile. It is connected to a rubber barrage through a steel pipe. The pipe is digged in around 70 cm below the upper surface of the concrete threshold, coated with anti-corrosive appliances and additional protection with bitumen and therrised paper. The pipe fall is 3 % in comparison to the manipulative manhole. The manhole is made of reinforced concrete MB 30 and reinforced by armature. Above it is covered with concrete cover. The manipulative manhole is divided into a small and a big manhole. The small manhole is dry and the fasteners and the buoy are set in it with which the rubber barrage is being loaded and managed. The big manhole is divided into a wet and a dry one. It is filled with water from the unloading and loading of the rubber barrage. Loading, unloading and filling up the rubber barrage is made by water through pumping water from the River Bregalnica, automatically with the possibility for manual work. Fish path The fish path serves for excellent communication of the river fish in downriver and upriver direction. Beside that, through the fish path the "biological minimum" would be discharged which is 0.5 m3/s. The basic criterion during dimensioning is the maximum speed of the course of the river path in order to be smaller than the marginal speed that enables travel of the laziest fish in the River Bregalnica (0.5 - 1.30 m/s). The most common kinds in the River Bregalnica are the barbell, the carp and the dace. The last ones are considered to be the least movable. In order to reach this speed it is planned to have artificial roughness made on the bottom of the path with reinforced concrete ribs under the angle of 45 о in relation to the axis of the channel that are set at a distance not longer than 50 cm. During the building the fish path serves for turning of the river and supplying construction cavity. It is built as reinforced concrete with MB 30 and reinforced with concrete armature.

Underlayers for calculation of the rubber barrages From the present practice, the following things should bear in mind during calculation for building rubber sacks: Topographic underlayers Situation of the area of 1:1000 for regulation of the river-bed upriver and downriver along 500 m length if it is unregulated river-bed and 1:200 on the location itself. Geological layers In order to determine the geological geotechnical characteristics of the area it is necessary to have it examined with at least three holes. Hydrological layers The hydrological parameters are necessary for determining the great and the small waters. In Annex 1 from this Study it is made a complete hydrology of the River Bregalnica. Further on, the characteristic annual flow are given, so as the values of the great and the small waters of the profiles Ochi Pale and Shtip in different types of distributions of the various probabilities. Bregalnica at Ochi Pale Characteristic annual flows The minimal, the maximum and the middle annual flow have been calculated for the period of 1961-2003. These values are: Qmin=1.12 m3/s, Qmid.=4.75 m3/s, Qmax=15.65 m3/s. Great waters The probability of appearance of great waters is calculated by many methods and those are: normal distribution, 2 parameter log normal, 3 parameter log normal, Pearson type 3, log Pearson type 3 and Gumbel type 1. Со оглед на тоа дека хидролошките појави најдобро се прилагодуваат на несиметричните распределби, како репрезентативни се усвојуваат вредностите добиени со Gumbel tip 1 распределба, спрема која 200 годишната голема вода е 433,32 м3/с. Taking into account that the hydrological appearances are best adjusted on asymmetrical distributions, as representative are taken the values of Gumbel type 1 distribution, according to which 200 year-old water is 433.32 m3/s. Small waters The probability of appearance of great waters is calculated by many methods and that is by Normal distribution, 2 parameter log normal, 3 parameter log normal, Pearson type 3, log Pearson type 3 and Gumbel type 1.

Додаток 3: Гумени прегради во сливот на река Брегалница Taking into account that the hydrological appearances are best determined of the asymmetrical distributions, as representative are taken the values from Gumbel tip 1 distribution, according to which the minimal water for a period of 200 years is 0.01 m3/s. Conclusion about the hydrology By annual flows analysis about the minimal and maximal waters of the profiles Ochi Pale and Shtip a big difference can be seen between the maximal and the minimal flows, especially on the profile Shtip in the downer course of the River Bregalnica. Therefore, it can be concluded that during the winter months a full profile of the river-bed should be supplied, and during summer months the water-level should be lifted as a result of the catching irrigation water and laking of the river for relaxation purposes. As ideal for this purpose are the barrages with rubber sack which by blowing or by unloading it supplies a full laking and lifting of the water-level during dry months and full profile of the river during winter months for water leaking.

Hydraulic calculation of the rubber barrages Overflow height During calculation of the overflow through rubber barrage it is considered that the rubber barrage (sack) is not sufficiently formed, and the overflow hasn't been sunken. The calculation is done by the following formula: Q pr = m ⋅ b ⋅ 2 ⋅ g ⋅ H 3 / 2 m = 0.45 -overflow coefficient b = 36m -overflow edge Q pr -overflow quantity

H pr -overflow height Q pr = 0.45 ⋅ b ⋅ 2 ⋅ 9.81 ⋅ H 3 / 2 Q pr = 1.993 ⋅ b ⋅ H 3 / 2

-for overflow edge of b = 40m Q pr = 79.730 ⋅ H 3 / 2

The river-bed was arranged on the river-sides downriver by gabions on length of 50.0 m and upriver by earthen bank on length of cca 200.0 m. The left downriver bank is quite damaged and immediate sanction is needed because there is a danger of the channel being carried out which is situated in the vicinity of the river-side. The rubber sack is also cut and sanction is needed.

Projected barrages with rubber sack For the River Bregalnica there is a project made about a rubber barrage in the vicinity of the village Pribachevo on the territory of the Municipality of Kochani. The project is made by the Water Economy Office Skopje in 1991, and there is an annex made in 2002 also by the Water Economy Office because of small relocation and catching water from the channels for irrigation. The technical documentation is for the main project. The purpose of it and the construction elements are the same as those in the village of Chiflik and in the village of Grdovci, however, the flows of water in the channels for irrigation are different.

Namely, that way the river-level would be lifted in the minor river-bed along cca 9 km in the central part of Shtip and in a period of small waters there would be a filling of maximally to 1.5 m. That would solve the main current ecological problems of the River Bregalnica in the central part of the city, but also, that part of the city would esthetically be arranged, which opens the possibility for water-sports development, fishery and recreation. The barrages would consist of a concrete part which the horizontal and the vertical condition of the river-bed would be fixed along 36.0 m, a rubber sack for creating deceleration of the water with maximum lifting of the sack of 1.5 m, spillway long according to the hydraulic calculations and the manipulative manhole for commanding the object. Previously, the geotechnical and geomechanical characteristics of the soil would be determined by minimum three holes on the divided place in order to get the dimensions of the concrete part.

The barrage below the settlement Babi would form deceleration and a possibility for an optimal feeding of the mickeries in the location Shtipsko Ezero (Shtip Lake) from which the city of Shtip is being supplied with drinking water and this barrage should be a priority. The barrages before the Goce Delchev Bridge and on the inculcation of the River Otinja would supply safe and quiet flow of water through the central city area, with regulation of the river and building of the river-bed would be the "face" of the city. The barrage near Kezhovica bath would form deceleration and laky water surface area which would enable a kind river-side for relaxation and that would increase the tourist attraction of the bath complex Kezhovica. In order to determine the right adequate locations for building these rubber barrages it is necessary to have a detailed recording of the river-bed of the River Bregalnica and preparation of the technical documentation on a level of Future project from where by hydraulic calculations would be determined the mutual influences of these hydro technical objects, and also the influence on the surrounding objects that are in the vicinity of the riverbed. It is necessary to have a detailed analysis of the influence of the barrage near the Kezhovica bath on the warm springs near Lgjite, because if the deceleration is very high flooding can appear in this locality. We would like to mention that before we start with realizing this system the regulation of the River Bregalnica should be built from rubber sacks according to the previously prepared technical documentation, and if we start partially only by building the barrages it is necessary to analyze the possibility of flooding the objects that are immediately next to the river-bed of the River Bregalnica from the decelerations that are formed by the barrages and what type of protection is needed if the river-bed is not regulated (the minimum length of regulation of the river-bed before and after the barrages). By regulation of the river-bed and building barrages the river-sides would be stabilized and water mirrors would be formed (small lakes) that would influence well on the flora and the fauna in the river, and by arranging the river-bed people could enjoy on the small park which would be a place for relaxation in the city of Shtip. The following pictures show the view that of the central part of Shtip after finishing the regulation of the River Bregalnica and building the rubber sacks.

Study on Possibilities for River Bregalnica Regulation(Small Accumulations, Cascades, Dams) Annex 4: Water-Courses Regulation in the Drainage-Basin of the River Bregalnica

Introduction The River Bregalnica springs out from the forest area of the mountains Maleshevski Planini. The total length of the River Bregalnica is 225 km. Along the water-course of Bregalnica there are two accumulations built and those are Ratevo near Berovo and Kalimanci near Makedonska Kamenica. The accumulation "Kalimanci" has a great influence on the flow of water through the river-bed of the River Bregalnica downriver from the accumulation and that is on the maximum, but also on the middle and the minimum flow. Before building the "Kalimanci" bank the great water caused very common changes on the river-bed of the River Bregalnica in horizontally but also in vertically. After building "Kalimanci" bank the water regime was significantly changed above all the flow dimensions of the maximum waters and the characteristic small waters. On the other hand, for river-bed arrangement there very few things are done. As a result of changing in water regime, the river-bed is subjected on new changes above all because: - vegetation ingrowing, characteristic for the river-beds (willows, wild poplars, alders etc.) - human influence. This kind of influence on the changes of the river-bed is expressed in several ways. Changes caused by reckless usage of the alluvium from the river-bed and its coasts, changes in water usage for irrigation, which is a result of the primitive water catching, changes because of the usurping of the immediate land. River-bed width downriver from the bank "Kalimanci" is quite changeable and it is 30 to 120 m. The natural fall of the river-bed (the fall made as a result of different influences) is quite changeable during which the average fall is around 1.75 promiles.

Current state with regulation of the drainage-basin of the River Bregalnica The River Bregalnica The natural conditions: the climate, the relief and the geological constitution made conditions in this region many surface water-courses, rivers, confluents, springs to be formed. The biggest river is Bregalnica. The first settlement through which the River Bregalnica runs is the city of Berovo. In the central city area of Berovo, the river-bed of Bregalnica is regulated at length of cca 950 m. The river-bed width at the bottom is 13 m, and the incline of gradients is 1:1. After the River Pehchevska flows into it, Bregalnica runs into the ravine Pijanechkata Kotlina from the south through the canyon Razlovechka Klisura, it runs on the north to Delchevo, and then it runs into the west and through the long canyon from the village of Ochipale to the village of Istibanja it runs into the Kochansko Pole field. The River Zhelevica is the bigger right confluent of the River Bregalnica, along which the ravine Kotlina Pijanec continues, and the biggest confluent of Bregalnica is the River Kamenichka Reka. It collects the waters from the highest tops of the mountains Osogovski Planini and except for irrigation it is also used for ore flotation in the Mine "Sasa". The river-bed of the River Bregalnica in the central city area of Delchevo is also regulated. In the following pictures it shown the regulated river-bed of the river Bregalnica through the cities of Berovo and Delchevo.

Next big city in the downer course through which the River Bregalnica flows is the city of Shtip. Although the city of Shtip is the biggest city in this region it is the Eastern Plan Region center, the river-bed of the River Bregalnica through the city of Shtip is not regulated. The following pictures show the image of the unregulated river-bed of the River Bregalnica in Shtip.

It can be seen that the bridge can be very unbalanced with many grooves and bulges as a result of the various factors that influence on that. The average fall of this division is 1.75 promiles. Also the river-bed width of this division is quite changeable. Longitudinal profile of the River Bregalnica - constant river-bed 285.00

Confluents of the River Bregalnica Greater number of confluents run into the River Bregalnica. These confluents run through places where bigger settlements are situated and there is regulation of their river-beds. The following picture shows regulation of the River Pehchevska through the city of Pehchevo.

Study on Possibilities for River Bregalnica Regulation(Small Accumulations, Cascades, Dams) Annex 4: Water-Courses Regulation in the Drainage-Basin of the River Bregalnica The River Kochanska Reka springs out of the southern side of Lopensko Bilo on Osogovo, in the place of Retki Buki, at 1630 meters altitude above sea level. It runs into Bregalnica near the village of Chiflik at 295 meters altitude above sea level. The river has developed springs with wide valley, which to Kochani is canonic, and then to its running into the river it runs as an open county river. The total length of the River Kochanska Reka is 34 kilometers. In the mountain part it takes greater number of confluents, like Lopenska, Ramnobrdska and Mala Reka. All of them come from the right side, because the River Kochanska Reka has outspread, but also asymmetric hydrographic network. The highest water-level of the river is during April and May when the snow melts from the high mountain tops, and the lowest water-level is during July and august, when rainfalls are minimal, and the big evaporation because of the high temperatures in the air. The river has quite big fall (39.3%) that made possible to have accumulation built in its riverbed near the village of Dolno Gratche, which was named after the village and got the name Gratche. The river-bed of the River Kochanska in Kochani was regulated and this is shown in the following picture.

The River Zrnovska Reka is situated in the eastern part of Macedonia, in the surroundings of the Municipality of Zrnovci and it is a left confluent of the River Bregalnica. The River springs out from above the top Kozobran, in the place of Bachalija, on Plachkovica, at 1420 meters altitude above sea level. The drainage-basin of the Zrnovska Reka is 70 km², and its length is 24 km. The surface area of the drainage-basin is 70 km². Its relative fall is 47.6 %. From its springs it flows towards the west under the name Ulmija, and then it turns towards north and it is known as Zrnovska. To the village of Zrnovci it is a mountain river with canyon valley, and then through the field, to its inculcation, it runs as an open country river. It inculcates immediately next to the road Kochani-Zrnovci, at 325 meters altitude above sea level. From the river around 250 hectares of land with corn, leeks and other agricultural crops have been irrigated. -11-

The River Zletovska Reka is one of the bigger water-courses in the eastern part of Macedonia which springs from the mountains Osogovski Planini. The part of the river at the place where it springs has characteristic rainforest, and the spring is situated at 1718 meters altitude above sea level. The drainage-basin of the river is 218.72 km2, and the river length is 32.8 km. The river-bed in the greater part is situated in crystal rocks and vulcanites, and it is the most prominent at the village of Mushkovo, where there are many rapid streams and 2 major waterfalls. From the spring to the village of Zletovo the river has a big fall (around 42 % average), a deep valley and great hydro energetic potential. That is why in the framework of the regional multipurpose hydro system "Zletovica" it is planned to have 3 hydroelectric power plants. At the moment the bank "Knezhevo" is being finished in the vicinity of the village of Knezhevo, near Kratovo, which height is 70 meters and its capacity of 23 million m3 of water. It is planned several municipalities in the north-eastern part of the country to be water-supplied from the bank with drinking water. The River Zletovska Reka has 35 major and smaller confluents, out of which the biggest one is the River Venechka Reka. Average measured flow of the River Zletovska Reka is 2.64 m3/sec. It runs into the River Bregalnica in the vicinity of the village Ularci.

The River Otinja is a left confluent of the River Bregalnica. It springs out of the place called Chaprovka. It passes through the city of Shtip where there is a wide river-bed built (canal) for protection from downfalls, that is, from the big waters that run during the spring and summer downfall rains. It runs into Bregalnica below Isarot near Novo Selo, immediately next to the city of Shtip. The following picture shows regulated river-bed of the River Otinja in Shtip.

Possibilities for regulation of the River Bregalnica and the confluents in its drainage-basin The divisions on the River Bregalnica where regulation should be built are defined by the water economy. The following picture shows the divisions from the River Bregalnica and its confluents where it is possible to have regulation built according to the water economy of the Republic of Macedonia. These are divisions in the city environment and in places where there is not any planned accumulation building.

Слика: Можни делници за регулација Picture: Possible divisions for regulation (1. Bregalnica, 2. Lakavica, 3. Osojnica, 4. Zletovska, 5. Orizarska, 6. Kochanska, 7. Pehchevska) From the previous review of regulation it can be seen that mainly in all cities except for the city of Shtip along the River Bregalnica water-course and its confluents there is regulation built. That is the reason why building regulation of Bregalnica through the city of Shtip is a priority. It takes a big effort from material point of view but also from time framework, it is also extension of the already built regulations in the other cities where they have already been done. As critical divisions are also the part of the River Bregalnica from the village of Istibanje to Shtip, where beside the already built accumulations because of the plain character of the course, flooding of the agricultural surfaces and agricultural crops has appeared. As yet in 1959 there was a project for regulation of the River Bregalnica made which included dams. This project has not been realized yet because of its enormity and expensiveness. Also, the earthen dams should be used for building regulation of the Rivers Kochanska and Trkanska Reka from the already built regulations in the settlements to their inculcation into the River Bregalnica. In the area of the Municipality of Vinica there are several confluents of the River Bregalnica. A major left confluent is the River Osojnica with its confluents Brbushnica, Blateshnica, Peklanska Reka, Sushica, Vinichka Reka, Voden. The River Osojnica length is cca 50 km. The River Osojnica is unregulated and that is why very often it overflows and makes damages along its water-course length, running deeply into the riversides. Complete regulation of

Study on Possibilities for River Bregalnica Regulation(Small Accumulations, Cascades, Dams) Annex 4: Water-Courses Regulation in the Drainage-Basin of the River Bregalnica Osojnica should be treated as a whole and from economical aspect taking into account its dimensions and length it is a major investment. Other left confluent of the River Bregalnica is the River Gradechka. The length of this river is cca 20 km. The river springs out of the highest top Lisec on the mountain Plachkovica, with 1754 m altitude above sea level. Because of its great fall the water has significant speed and together with the River Leskovska Reka they damage their course especially in the downer water-course. In this region the right confluent of the River Bregalnica is Istibanski Dol (Poroen Dol) which passes through the village of Istibanja. Istibanski Dol (Poroen Dol) length is cca 5 km, but because of the great fall and unforested terrain it has high erosion and it carries a big alluvium. In the following map there is the location of the mentioned water-courses.

Picture: Location of the Rivers Osojnica, Gradechka and Poroen Dol The following text mainly gives an explanation to the possibility for River Bregalnica regulation near Shtip, and also for rearranging certain city divisions of the water-courses in the region, and for the other regulations above all between the village of Istibanja and Shtip, and also for regulation of the River Osojnica, we should think as a whole and for the regulations themselves bigger finances are needed. Regulation of Bregalnica through the city of Shtip Regulation of the river-bed of the River Bregalnica near Shtip should begin from the bridge of the road to Strumica, and it finishes near Karbinci, for which there is already elaborated Future project. The length of this part is around 19.5 km.

Study on Possibilities for River Bregalnica Regulation(Small Accumulations, Cascades, Dams) Annex 4: Water-Courses Regulation in the Drainage-Basin of the River Bregalnica In order to have complete and adequate assimilation of the regulated river-bed in the frames of the constant width of the river-bed, the track was drawn with the necessary number of curves and directions, during which the current bridges are included. The natural fall of the river-bed and also the width of the river-bed of the division which is planned to be regulated is quite changeable. The average fall of this division is 1.75 %. The project longitudinal fall of the river-bed is 1 % which is considered to be the most adequate in order to improve the regime of flowing. Because of the decreased fall on the bottom of the regulated river-bed in relation of the average natural fall and because of enabling the water to catch irrigation and feeding the underground, cascades along the whole regulation are planned to be built. Cross-cut of the regulated river-bed was determined in the way that it supplies unmeasured flow of the big water that is calculated by many methods but the value of allocation to Gumbel is considered to be the most adequate. The big water of the River Bregalnica of the profile Shtip with the probability of appearance 0.995 or once in 200 years to Gumbel is 458,02 m2/s and it is calculated in a time period of 40 years. The competent big water is an indicator which the dimensions of the protective objects depend on and it is in direct relation to the economic indicators. Bigger protective object means more assets, and lower risk of damages and vice versa. In the non-city division one-dimensional trapeze profile was adopted, and in the city division double regulation profile was chosen, with which on one part (around the bridge Kamen Most) the upper part is still more widened because of enabling and setting various contents for culture and entertaining life. The following picture shows a longitudinal profile of the regulated river-bed with marked parts on the city part and non-city parts.

It is planned to have extension of the regulation done on the length of cca 1.5 km through the city part, which it is calculated to be around 750 000 Euros. Extension of the regulation of the River Bregalnica through the city of Berovo In Berovo, extension of the regulation of the River Bregalnica is needed upriver and downriver from the already regulated river-bed on the length of cca 2x300 m with the same diagonal cross-cut as the current. The price of this activity is calculated to be around 500 000 Euros. Regulation of the River Pancharevska in the Municipality of Pehchevo In the Municipality of Pehchevo there is already made project for regulation of the River Pancharevska along its whole length during which it is planned to have river-bed being formed with minimal efforts in the river-bed, forestation and stabilization with gabions. The price of it was calculated to be more than 600 000 Euros.

Study on Possibilities for River Bregalnica Regulation(Small Accumulations, Cascades, Dams) Annex 4: Water-Courses Regulation in the Drainage-Basin of the River Bregalnica Regulation of the River Gradechka and Vinichka in the Municipality of Vinica Because of the complete prevention of the negative consequences of the River Gradechka, there is a project done for regulation of it. According to the project, the diagonal profile of the regulated river-bed should be with trapeze diagonal cross-cut, with 10 meters width of the bottom, 1.5 meters depth, incline of the canal declivity 1:1.5 and longitudinal incline of 1.0%. Such a cross-cut should enable water flow of 50 m3/s, which is 20 % of the annual quantity of water. The following picture shows cross-cut of a regulated river-bed of the River Gradechka. This regulation has already been built from the cross-cut of the left highway channel of the system for irrigation. Until Gradechka runs into the River Bregalnica, the regulated river-bed should be well maintained (clean the vegetation, maintain the inclines etc.) The river-bed of the River Gradechka through the city part of Vinica is partly regulated with quay walls, but this regulation for better protection of the city area in Vinica should be extended to the cross-cut with the left highway channel of the system for irrigation Bregalnica. These activities were calculated to be around 300 000 Euros.

Picture: Characteristic diagonal cross-cut of the River Gradechka As a result of preventing the negative consequences from the River Vinichka, there is a project done for regulation of the River Vinichka. According to this project, the diagonal profile of the regulated river-bed should be with trapeze diagonal cross-cut, with 6 meters width of the bottom, 1.1 meters depth, incline of the canal declivities of 1:1.5, and longitudinal incline of 0.7 %. This cross-cut should enable water flow of 17 m3/s, which means 20 years of water. The following picture shows diagonal cross-cut of regulated river-bed of the River Vinichka. This profile was already built from the ending of the city part to the inculcation in Bregalnica. The River Vinichka Reka through the city part is regulated by quay concrete walls. As a result of the city expansion and urban areas expansion it is necessary to extend the regulation of the River Vinichka with quay walls downriver from the already built regulation of the river in the city part on the length of cca 300 meters. This was calculated to be 600 000 Euros.

Study of possibilities for regulation of river Bregalnica (mini accumulations, cascades, dams) Annex 5:Assessment of the impact of the objectives of the Study on the environment

1. INTRODUCTION The prepared draft version of the Study of possibilities for regulation of river Bregalnica represents a planning document for managing the waters of river Bregalnica and its tributaries by defining the manner of regulation, usage and deployment of the waters, protection from harmful actions of the waters and their rational and efficient use. Taking into consideration the approach and methodology of preparing the Study of the possibilities for regulation of the river Bregalnica by building accumulations, rubber compartments, mini hydropower plants and the thoroughness of defining the future projects that need to be accomplished as priority projects as well as the national legal regulation that provides strategic approach to assessment of the impact of the planning document on the environmental elements, this chapter focuses on the following: ¾ Assessment of impact of the Study on the environment which contains elements of Strategic assessment of impact of studies, plans and programs on the environment ¾ Preliminary assessment of the impact of proposed project solutions in the form of mini regulations, cascades or dams on all elements of the environment in order to identify the most sensitive elements. There are similar principles of the procedures for Assessment of impact on the projects (EIA) and Strategic assessment of the plans, the programs on the environment (SEA) as a result of the fact that both procedures tend to involve as early as possible the objectives of the environment at both levels: а) at the level of planning (SEA) in a certain sector or spatial planning and b) at the level of accomplishment of particular defined projects (EIA) providing sustainable community development. The different levels of use of the Assesment of the project impact on the environment and Strategic assessment of the impact on the environment are presented on Figure 1 showing the level of planning (policy, plan and program) covered by the procedure of Strategic assessment (SEA) and the level of development projects that fall under the procedure for Assessment of impact of the project on the environment (EIA).

preparation of the planning document and takes into consideration all impacts on it, offers alternatives that need to be reviewed with attention, and proposes measures to prevent, mitigate or compensate the negaitive impacts of the planning document on the environment. The procedure for Strategic assessment of the environment for a certain planning document is legally binding in accordance with the national legislation (Chapter X from the Law of environment – Official Gazette of RM No. 53/2005, 81/2005, 24/2007 and 159/2008 and the by-laws) where the requirements of the EU Directive for Strategic assessment of the environment 2001/41/EC have been transposed. The national legislation obliges commencement of a procedure for Strategic assessment on the environment while preparation of short, medium and long term planning documents at national, regional and local level for development in all aspects (urban development, waste management, water management, industry, development of small and medium enterprises, energetics, commercial complexes, tourism, agriculture, transport etc.). The Study of possibilities for regulation of river Bragalnica represents a planning document that prоvides: а) managing the waters of river Bregalnica and its tributaries by defining the manner of their regulation, b) usage and deployment of the waters by the comprised population of 11 municipalities in the Easter planning region, c) protection from harmful actions of waters, г) rational and efficient utilization of the waters and d) sustainable development of water resources. At the same time the Study considers the possibilities for development of tourism and eco-tourism, use of the hydropotential as an energy source that is renewable and favourable to the environment, as well as conditions for water use in agriculture for irrigation of crops. Precisely because of the scope and topics related to the sustainable usage of the waters of river Bregalnica a strategic approach is required in the determination of the impact of the Study on the environment and human health by giving proposed measures and indicators that need to be followed in the next phase of project level for each priority project defined in the Study when financing conditions are provided and before its construction begins. For each priority project an Assesment of project impact on the environment should be started in accordance with the national regulations – the Law of environment (Official Gazette No. 53/05, 81/05, 24/07, 159/08, 83/09) and the appropriate by-laws in which the ЕU Directive EU 85/337/ЕЕC for assessment of the impact of the projects on the environment is transposed with the changes and amendments EU Directive 97/11/ЕЦ. The most sensitive elements defined in the Strategic assessment, the proposed measures and indicators shoud be taken into consideration when defining the scope of the Study of assessment of the project impact on the environment or the Elaboration for environmental protection that will need to be prepared for each project separately. The possible negative nad positive impacts of all project activities on the most sensitive elements of the environment in all phases of the project cycle (construction, operational phase, in case of disaster and after cessation of work) will need to be defined thoroughly and measures to prevent, reduce and mitigate the negative impacts will need to be proposed.

3. MAIN OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY OF POSSIBILITIES FOR REGULATION OF RIVER BREGALNICA The main objective of the Study of possibilities for regulating the river Bregalnica is to ensure sustainable development of the Easterern planning region and sustainable water resources management of river basin Bregalnica as well as utilization of the unused water potential. The specific objectives of the study are focused on: ¾ Perception of opportunities for regulating the river basin and the river-bed Bregalnica, opportunities for construction of mini accumulations and opportunities for utilization of the water potential; ¾ Identification and estimation of priority projects for regulation along the river Bregalnica; ¾ Protection, preservation and continuous improvement of available water resources of the river Bregalnica, improvement of the situation of coastal land, aquatic ecosystems and the ecosystems dependent on water, protection and promotion of the aquatic environment through rational and sustainable use of the waters; ¾ Protection and promotion of the environment, nature and biodiversity along the river; ¾ Testing of opportunities to exploit the tourist potential offered by the flow of river Bregalnica. It is expected that the realization of the planning decisions in the Study will contribute to the following: a) better utilization of the existing water potentials of river Bregalnica and its tributaries, b) provision of sufficient quantities of quality drinking water and overcoming the current problems with water supply and decrease of health risk of water shortage, c) providing sufficient water for irrigation of the agriculural surfaces which directly indicates promotion of the regional agriculture as a very important economic sector of the population, d) avoiding the dangers of demolishion of the existing accumulations some of which are older than 40 years and flooding of farmland, e) stabilization of river-beds and prevention of their further degradation and deepening, f) regulation of the river and its tributaries in populated places that will provide visually and aesthetically more acceptable solution to beautifying the space g) provision and development of local and regional economy with new jobs during construction and operation of the planned solutions, h) provision of energy from renewable sources and maximum utilization of hydro potential , i) strengthening the medium and small enterprises of service activities and development of tourism and eco - tourism as a relatively new branch of the economy in the region, but with great potential. The management of waters of river Bregalnica will overwhelmingly contribute in strengthening the cooperation among all municipalities in the Easterern planning region by joint planning, definition of priority projects and serious collective appearance in front of the financial institutions for financing the proposed project solutions.

4. STATE WITHOUT THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLANNING SOLUTIONS Unless the priority planning solutions are not accomplished - projects for regulation of river Bregalnica with the construction of mini accumulations, installation of rubber compartments, regulation of river-beds (all or part of them), then a continuation and worsening of the current situation is expected with (so-called "business as usual scenario" - to continue without changing the current situation): ¾ Low rate of redistribution of water in time and space which means lack in the summer period, and abundance in winter - spring months at various locations in the region; ¾ Poor use of water potential for water supply, further losses and lack of safe drinking water and irrigation of crops; ¾ Continuous phenomena of floods, destruction of agricultural land and crops as well as destruction of the surrounding houses and yards; ¾ Destructive effect of soil erosion, loss of layers of arable land and direct influence on the economic power of the agriculturists; ¾ Loss of the accumulation space of the existing accumulations in the region due to the deposition of large amounts of sediment, thereby increasing the inefficiency of the accumulation; ¾ Further increase of the amount of sediments in the downriver part of the basin and further disruption of the biological balance in water; ¾ Dissatisfied citizens and agriculturists in the region because of the inability to use the water in an efficient and safe way thereby to provide a better quality of life and economic prosperity; ¾ Distrust in the municipal administration in providing quality services of water supply to the households in the region; ¾ Low coefficient of efficiency of the irrigation systems (around 50%) as a result of the long period of exploitation by irregular and delayed maintenance; ¾ Lack of private investment in cost-effective and sustainable businesses in the areas of agriculture, tourism, energetics ¾ Deficient participation of renewable energy sources (hydroelectric potential) in the total energy consumption in the region ¾ Further weakening of the current fragile socio - economic picture of the region; ¾ Continuing the trend of deterioration of water quality in the river and its tributaries; ¾ In the summer period disturbance of the minimum acceptable flow that automatically means disruption of the biological minimum for survival of aquatic wildlife; ¾ Additional deterioration of the state of quantity, the water quality and thereby direct impact on the lives of population and their social status as a result of climate changes (water is one of the most sensitive aspects of the negative impact of climate change).

5. CONNECTION AND COMPLIANCE OF THE STUDY WITH OTHER RELEVANT PLANS, PROGRAMS AND STRATEGIES 5.1

MUTUAL COMPATIBILITY OF THE OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

The Study of possibilities for regulation of river Bregalnica has several specific goals that when examined separately, if they are realized, can negatively, conflictly or cumulatively synergistically affect the realization of another goal of the Study and therefore identification of their mutual compatibility is required. If discrepancy appears between the goals it is necessary to define measures to be taken in order to overcome the incompatibility so the objectives can be realized with as smaller, short-term negative impacts. As a tool for identification of the mutual compatibility of the objectives of the Study, the Consultants used Matrix as one of the tools in preparing the Strategic assessment of impact of a planning document on the environment. The completed Matrix for compatibility of individual goals of the Study of possibilities for regulation of river Bregalnica is shown in Table 1. You see great alignment between the objectives of the Study regarding the systematic review of all existing documents, studies and projects prepared for the river basin Bregalnica in order to identify priority projects for which a general assessment of the financial costs for construction and maintaining the same is made, as well with the objective that examines the possibilities for development and promotion of tourism and eco - tourism. A positive cumulative effect of the realization of several objectives on the protection and continuous improvement of existing water resources in the region is expected, through which improvement of the coastal land and preservation of aquatic ecosystems would be provided. Of course a positive cumulative effect is also expected on the economic - social life of the population by providing safe water for consumption, maintening the hygiene and improving the quality of life, providing an appropriate redistribution of water from which the greatest effect will be sensed by the agriculturists, higher employment of the young inhabitants in the Easterern planning region, engaging construction workers in the construction of individual projects and development of small and medium firms in the region. Of course the realization of objectives for regulation of the river basin, through the construction and daily operation of mini accumulations, rubber compartments, mini hydroelectric power plants and grips for the regulation of rivers in urban areas and the necessary modern infrastructure required for their smooth functioning is in conflict with the protection of the environment. It is expected that project activities that will follow after the adoption of the Study, provision of funds and preparation of project documentation for each priority project to cause maybe in a small rate, short-term (during construction of facilities or infrastructure) negative impact on various elements of the environment (worsening of the quality of air, generating different types of waste from the List of waste, creating noise, expense for energy, disruption of biodiversity etc.). In the operational phase of the planned facilities significant adverse impacts are not expected, but in any case the incompatibility of the objectives will be exceeded by the proposed measures to avoid, reduce or mitigate the negative impacts of the realizaion of the objectives of the study.

CONNECTION AND COMPLIANCE OF THE STUDY OF POSSIBILITIES RIVER BREGALNICA WITH OTHER STRATEGIC PLANNING DOCUMENTS

FOR REGULATION OF

The provision of balanced and sustainable development of communities, and through them development of the entire Eastern Planning Region and Republic of Macedonia is a continuous process, which is accomplished by proposing, drafting, adoption and implementation of a number of strategic planning documents that cover different areas and regions that represent the basis for human life in social and economic welfare with care to protect and enhance the environment. At the national level the most important strategic documents that provide direction on development in these areas are adopted by the responsible institutions and government bodies, and also within the Eastern Planning Region the basic planning documents of interest of all eleven municipalities are adopted by the Council for development of the planning region. At the local level, municipalities so far usually have prepared strategic documents on the economy (Strategy for economic development), tourism, sustainable development, profile for the presentation of it and for the protection and promotion of the environment (Local Action Plan for the Environment - LEAP) . The complexity of the objectives of the Study of possibilities for regulation of river Bregalnica if they are realized, would have a significant positive impact on various spheres of life and work of man and nature, it is also evident in their interaction through direct and indirect links with other, already adopted and perhaps partially implemented strategic documents. In the process of adopting the Study of possibilities for regulation of river Bregalnica of crucial importance is the identification of links (direct / indirect) and compliance and / or insufficient compliance of the objectives of the Study with the objectives of relevant planning documents adopted at local, regional, national and / or global level. If there is no compliance or if there is conflict in the compliance, what is neccesary is defining measures which would ensure the compatibility, or ought to change the goals of the planning document in order to achieve the necessary compliance. For the establishment of these relations, the most relevant and important for the Study are the goals of the strategic planning documents which cover the following areas: ¾ Water protection ¾ Environmental protection ¾ Economic development at local, regional and national level ¾ Development of agriculture ¾ The relevant sectoral areas - energy, tourism ¾ Spatial planning and Sustainable development and they are listed in Table 2 together with the main conclusions of the conducted expert analysis.

6. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SPACE AND CURRENT STATE OF THE ENVIRONMENT In order to identify the purpose of protecting the environment in the area covered by the Study of possibilities for regulation of river Bregalnica (mini accumulations, cascades, dams) it was necessary to consider the characteristics of the area that is defined by the flow of the river Bregalnica and its left and right tributaries, the geographical position of the entire region, the climate and hydrological features in the region, the demographic and economic indicators for the population that lives and creates in the region, natural - cultural benefits and the archaeological sites disposed by the entire covered area. The conditions on the various elements of the environment were analyzed with special interest (quality and quantity of surface waters at river Bregalnica and its tributaries, groundwater, air quality in the region, waste management and the emergence of illegal landfills which directly affect the quality of groundwater, the soil quality, the multiplicity of biodiversity and the diversity of other elements) and, based on the information, the most sensitive elements that would be significantly affected by the realization of the proposed solutions for the regulation of river Bregalnica in the subject Study were pointed. These sensitive elements of the environment would be most exposed at pollution, destruction and possible extinction during the accomplishement of the planning document for regulation of river Bregalnica and the same are relevant to the Strategic environmental assessment. 6.1 6.1.1

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SPACE Geographical position

The Study of possibilities for regulation of river Bregalnica analyzes the area covered by the flow of river Bregalnica and its tributaries which geographically includes a relatively large area (14%) of the territory of Republic of Macedonia which expressed in surface is 3537 km2 (Figure 2). The geographical location of the confluence of river Bregalnica coincides with the borders of east central part of Republic of Macedonia, which represents location of the Eastern planning region.

The Eastern planning region is divided into 11 municipalities (Berovo, Vinica, Delcevo, Zrnovci, Karbinci, Kocani, Makedonska Kamenica, Pehcevo, Probistip, Chesinovo, Oblesevo and Stip) of which three are rural municipalities. The region in the north is bordering the Northeast planning region, west of the Vardar planning region, and in the south by the Southeast planning region (Figure 3). This region of the eastern side borders with the Republic of Bulgaria, and the communication with the neighboring state is accomplished through the two border crossings, Klepalo in the municipality of Berovo and Delcevo in the municipality of Delcevo.

Figure 3 Location of the Eastern planning region

6.1.2

Terrain

The Eastern planning region with its location, is characterized by highly dynamic terrain structure, which includes flat sections as part of Ovce Pole, Ezovo Pole, the cirques along the river Bregalnica, Pijanec cirque, Malesevska cirque, Vinicko – Kocanska cirque, Berovsko Pehcevsko Pole, then slope parts which consist of heavy drifts, cones, covered with deluvial soils – wavy - hilly which occupy large areas and are dominant in the agricultural production, as well as mountainous areas, that is, mountains Osogovo, Plackovica, Serta, Konecka, Malesevski mountains, Ograzden, Vlaina mountain, Obozna and Golak.

Figure 4 Terrain of the region

The river basin of river Bregalnica belongs to the old Rhodope mountain massif. In the creation of today's shape and terrain tectonic shifts were involved, the oldest orogenic and hercynian movements, before and after the pliocene movements when falls along the rifts were carried out. The regresive erosion which starts in neogen goes from the Aegean Sea through the -29-

valley of the river Vardar to the highest parts of the basin. Watershed is crisscrossed by numerous valleys and dry ravines which are shorter and with a bigger decline at the upper part, and longer and with a smaller decline at the lower part. Regarding the terrain and the origin of the basin of the valley of Bregalnica, it is complex. It mainly consists of 4 cirques: Maleska, Pijanecka, Kocanska and Krivolakavicka. Between the cirques, Bregalnica crisscrossed the gorges: Malesko - Pijanecka, Pijanecko Kocanska, Kocanska - Lakavicka and Lakavicko - Vardarska. Each of the mentioned gorges, represents a part with various terrain and orographic conditions. Maleska cirque This spacious and high cirque that covers the upper part of the watershed of Bregalnica extends generally in direction east west. To the east is limited by the cliff Kadijica, to the west by the cliff Kamenica, and to the south and southeast rises the adulteration towards Strumica with the highest peak Petlec. The cirque Maleska is open towards the north - west direction in which the river Bregalnica gets through. This cirque is filled with lake deposits of Pliocene age and therefore in its terrain it has suitable distinctive shapes such as remnants of old terraces. Other higher terrain in which this cirque evolved valley consists of crystalline schists and granite. Maleska-Pijanecka gorge It lies between the Maleska cirque and Pijanecka cirque. This gorge cut river Bregalnica in eruptive rocks. The incision of the gorge was gradual depending on the strength of the layer and the regresive erosion. Here we also encounter preserved terraces at levels of 30 to 60 m. Pijanecka cirque Extends mainly from the south towards the north, and then bends towards the west. It is not a real river valley, but a valley filled with oligocenic deposits and lake sediments. This valley in the east and west is surrounded by high cliffs which are steep and consist mainly of schists. At the rim of this valley as in the previous the terraces, including higher lake and lower river ones are preserved. Pjanecka – Kocanska gorge It connects the cirque Pijanecka to the east with the Kocanska to the west. This gorge is cut in paleogene sandstones, eruptive rocks and schists. The gorge itself is cut firtly into one upland with height of about 750 meters. The terrain of the gorge and the massif is mountainous with high steep sides. Kocanska cirque Extends generally from the east towards the west. At the south it is limited by the cliff of Plackovica, and at north with Osogovo mountains. According to the appearances of the northern peripheral edge of this cirque (eruptive hair, thermal sources etc.) it is concluded that this side of the cirque has dropped along the rift. At the southern peripheral edge the cirque has no signs but the steep peripheral edge indicates of the tectonic lowering. Layers of middle oligocene were found west of Kocani, from which it can be concluded that the Kocani cirque is sloped at the beggining of oligocene. In Kocanska cirque there are also younger deposits, and the lake layers are covered with diluvial and alluvial sediments. Kocansko – Lakavicka gorge This gorge was cut by the river Bregalnica by leaving the Kocanska cirque. The gorge extends up to the valley of Kriva Lakavica. The gorge at the beginning is spacious. In the vicinity of the village Krupiste on the right and of Krivacha on the left Bregalnica, lake deposits are preserved. Towards southwest left, on the southeastern side extand the hairs of Madzhuroca, Chair – Bair, and Karakush about 95 m high which are scattered along the valley. These consist of paleogene deposits. Right and northwest of the river Bregalnica the terraine is diverse. The terraces with a height of about 60 cm rise eruptive bulbs. Downstream from Cardaklija terraces of 25 and 40 m were developed, which are cut in paleogoene rocks. Right from Bregalnica and northwest of Ezhevo Pole and the Ovchepolska cirque, lake deposits with pliocene age are -30-

spread. The Ezhevo Pole which today represents an adulteration between Ovce Pole and Bregalnica, in the oligocene was a valley in which the lake Ovce Pole escaped through Bregalnica. Lakavicko – Vardarska cirque From Krivolakavicka valley all to the inflow, Bregalnica has cut a river-bed in paleogene deposits. It runs between capes whose coronas represent terraces, so that is why the flow of this basin is very curvy. The terrain of this part of the basin is low mountainous with uplands, crisscrossed with many valleys and dry ravines where erosion is quite developed. 6.1.3

Geology

The geological features and geological history of the terrain determine the topographic features of the basin, the watershed erosion, the underground water etc. The confluence of Bregalnica belongs to the Rhodope mountain massif which is characterised with internal thick Paleozoic crystalline masses. Depending on the granite intrusions which occurred on the eastern part, the composition and properties of the underlying masses changes, so out of granite intrusions are the philia, seircitic schists and others who further on continue to cross into micashists. Generally at these areas all types of rocks are present. 6.1.4

Climate

The climate in the Eastern planning region is arid, that is in the area of the bigger part is arid - drought. A characteristic of this type of climate are long and dry summers with frequent high temperatures ranging up to 41 ° C and mild and wet winters with rare occurrence of extremely low temperatures lowered up to -22 ° C. This is a consequence of the influence of the Mediterranean and continental climate. In the part of Malesevska cirque prevails continental climate. The average annual quantity of rainfall ranges of 506 mm in the area of Kocansko Pole, to 672 mm in Malesevia. Rainfall is unevenly distributed, in time but also in quantities. The maximum rainfall is in the months from April to May, and the minimum is in summer months from July to August. The river basin of Bregalnica gets pretty little amounts of rainfall. There is rainfall above 700 mm only at the source part and in the mountainous parts of Osogovo and Plackovica. Up to 500 mm rainfall are received in the lower basin in the area of Ovce Pole. The central part of the basin all the way to Istibanja receives only 550 mm rainfall. And the upper part of the basin of Bregalnica almost to Berovo and Pehcevo has little rainfall ranging around 600 mm. Most of the basin can be said to lie in a zone which receives 450 to 600 mm rainfall.

The average annual mean temperature in the plain part is 12.9°C, while in the Malesevia is 8.7°C. Snow occurs from December to March. The fog rarely appears in this region, except in the area of Malesevia, where annually in average there are 3 to 5 foggy days. The climatic conditions in this region are favorable for agricultural development, and particulary for the production of rice. The eastern region is characterized by frequent winds. The average annual speed is 5.7 m/sec and the maximum speed reaches 27.0 m/sec. They occur quite equally throughout the year, but with greater frequency in July and August. The southeast wind is the second in frequency in this area with average speed 6.2 m/sec and a maximum speed of 27.0 m/sec. It occurs throughout the entire year, but with a maximum frequency in March and April. The winds from other directions occur with considerably less frequency. Frequent winds, high temperatures and decreased humidity of the air, especially in the warm part of the year cause high values of the potential and actual evaporation from free water and soil surface. The evaporation in this region has the highest values in the entire country. 6.1.5

Population

The eastern planning region has almost four times less population growth in comparison with the population growth in the country (Table 3). The total number of inhabitants in the region is 181 858. There are drastic differences in population growth and its spatial distribution between the regions themselves and they are significantly unfavorable. The natural movement of the population in the region is characterized by lower average birth rates, above average mortality and natural population growth rate with a negative sign.

Eastern planning region

One of the vital characteristics of the Eastern mountainous region is the population density which is 51.2 inhabitant/km2. However, due to the permanent process of depopulation, there is a big number of displaced villages, villages with up to 100 people and villages with expressed high index of aging. This condition leads to a concentration of about 66% of the population in the urban areas. In migratory movements, the presence of internal migrations is dominant, more precisely the intermunicipal, and the representation of local migrations is lower, these are common in the municipalities Berovo, Vinica, Delcevo, Makedonska Kamenica and Probistip. Regarding the external migrations, emigration is more frequent than immigration, and this migration tends to intensify with the emigration of highly educated young professionals.

The eastern mountainous region is affected with an intensive process of demographic aging. Such changes lead to a reduction in the proportion of children, and increase of workingage population and olders than 65. It indicates the increasing workload of the older working-age population, which leads to numerous adverse consequences for the economic and social development. 6.1.6

Economy

The dominant agricultural industry in the Eastern planning region is farming, while the most important cereal crop is rice. Apart from rice, there is also good representation of also the barley, wheat and maize. Also developed branches are the early gardening, fruitgrowing and vinegrowing. The dominant industrial culture is the tobacco, and also this region is the largest potato producer in the country. In this area there is potential to create export brands of potato and rice and therefore the production of these two products is in need of improvement. Besides rice and potatoes great potential for development and export exists in livestock production, especially sheep and goat breeding. The potential is great for the development of dairy and meat industry because 40% of the pig breeding in Republic of Macedonia is realized in this region. As far as gardening, it is not very developed in the Eastern mountainous region. In the industry, the most important sectors are the clothing industry, wood industry and shoe industry, commerce. As in other regions, in the Eastern region the most important carriers of economic development are the small and medium sized enterprises. The number of small enterprises in the period 2003-2006 increased by 38%, and the biggest part of the small firms is concentrated in the services sector (68%). After the services sector, in terms of concentration of small firms, is the industry with 24%. Annual gross product in 2006 in the Eastern planning region accounts for 6.4% in gross domestic product of Republic of Macedonia. This indicates that the economic development of the Eastern planning region is very low. The east region as a result of the export of metal and textile industry is the third by the export and import. The importance of small enterprises in the manufacturing and the launching of new jobs, is pretty big. With the intense growth in the last few years, small enterprises slowly take the primate of biggest producer in the non-financial sector in the Eastern planning region. In 2006, they absolutely dominated the region by 72% participation in the production. In the Eastern region, one of the largest economic capacities is the mine for lead and zinc "Sasa" in Makedonska Kamenica, then mines "Opalit" and "Nemetali" (deposits of vulcanized tufa in Chesinovo - Oblesevo, used in the cement industry), the mine "Brik" from Berovo. Major industrial capacities in the Eastern region are the textile factories ("Triko", "Vinka" and "Vinicanka" from Vinica, "Jani-tex , "Ro-Ma", "Jo ti", "Lorteks" and "Delta Tex Co." from Cesinovo - Oblesevo, "Berovchanka", "Malesteks" from Berovo, "Tamateks", "Textil- M", "Novateks" from Makedonska Kamenica etc.), from the leather industry ("MATIZ" Ltd and "MMBrico" from Delcevo, "Bargala" from Stip), the wood processing capacities (Mebel - Vi" and "Mebel trejd" from Vinica), construction ("Granit" from Delcevo, SD "Trans" Ltd in Delcevo, "Tondah" from Vinica) food industry ("Vincini" from Vinica, "Elan" from Berovo etc.) rice factories and mills, tobacco industry, dairy, factory for eggs and plant and breeding ostriches in Zrnovci as well as factories "Selena", "Metalna", "Agroalumina", "Makpromet" from Stip.

Construction of new commercial facilities from the small and medium businesses is planned, by creating conditions for lasting and sustainable economic development. The most famous touristic places in the region are: the recreational centers around Berovo lake, the resorts "Golak" and "Ponikva", the numerous archaeological sites (in the municipalities Chesinovo - Oblesevo, Delcevo, Stip, Karbinci, Vinica and Zrnovci), the caves ("Babina dupka" - Zrnovci; "Zvegor", "Ocipala", "Kiselica" in Delchevo), springs of thermal water (vil.Banja in Chesinovo – Oblesevo; Kocani; bath "Kezovica" and spring "L'dzhi" in Stip; "Istibanja" - Vinica), the numerous monasteries and churches, farms of ostriches and pheasants (in the municipalities Chesinovo - Oblesevo), and they contribute to the development of the economy. The eastern planning region has natural potentials that enable the development of different types of tourism, such as rural tourism, mountains tourism, spa tourism, as well as ecotourism. The municipalities Delcevo, Kocani, Makedonska Kamenica, Probistip, Stip, Vinica have prepared a Strategy for economic development which as a strategic document provides the directions to the economic development of the municipality. Several municipalities in the region have developed specific strategies for tourism and eco-tourism development, due to the natural potentials which they have (Municipality Chesinovo, Municipality Kocani, Municipality Stip and Municipality Zrnovci). 6.1.7

Cultural heritage

The eastern planning region possesses significant natural and cultural - historical heritage, which should be put in service of creating recognition of the planning region and development of tourism. The most distinguished are the archaeological site Vinichko Kale (where authentic terracotta icons from the early Christian period were found), the archaeological site Bargala (late antique city, from 4 to 6 century built by the Romans, the place of the first episkopy in Bregalnica's region). As a natural rarity the most famous is the natural site Kukulje (Nov Istevnik, Delcevo). The rich natural heritage and the possibility of its use is directed towards the existence of the natural preserves (Goten, Linak, Males, Zrnovska reka, river Ulomija), the monuments of nature (Zvegor, Cave Konjska Dupka, Morodvis, Macevo, Crna Topola, the Lesnovo crater, Ilin kamen, Gjurgjov dab). The east region abounds with numerous caves ("Ajduchka", "The big cave", "Kup" and "Turtel" on Plackovica, vil.Kiselica,), waterfalls on the Malesevski mountains above Pehcevo (at Ravna Reka, one of the tributaries of Bregalnica, the two waterfalls of Ljutacka Reka, also called Z'tacka Reka, and a tributary of Bregalnica), numerous archaeological sites (Eneolithic site – Localities in Delcevo: "Gradiste" in the vil.Grad, "Prekinato Gradiste", "Malo (Dolno) Gradiste", the region "Kalata"); the region "Bauchar, Gradiste" in Zletovo, the localities Pilavo near the village Burilcevo, St. Athanasius in Kocani’s village Spancevo and Lokubija in the town of Kocani. -34-

In the village of Gorni Kozjak near Stip, north of Kozjacka Reka, an early middle century city-fortress is located, surrounded by high walls and towers with monumental entrances and gates. With the archaeological research in Krupiste, a neighborhood of late Classical and early Christian period was discovered with so far three church buildings. The neighborhood near Krupiste is situated close to Zletovska River. It is thought that here the old city Astibo was located. At four miles from Makedonska Kamenica, at the mouth of the river Kamenica in Bregalnica, the hill Kalata is located, with remains of late antique city. 6.2

DESCRIPTION OF THE CURRENT STATE OF THE ENVIRONMENT

The state of environmental quality in the Eastern planning region along the river Bregalnica and its tributaries where the project solutions are planned, is similar like in other regions in Republic of Macedonia. The environmental problems in this region are identified and grouped according to the media and the areas of the environment in which they are present, that is, problems in waste management, as a consequence of the absence of an integrated waste management system, problems in water management including pollution of the water resources and lack of wastewater treatment; air pollution with different intensities in different parts of the region and soil contamination. The lack of a developed system of monitoring the environment is a separate problem that applies to all media. Occasional threat to air quality and permanent adverse quality recipients of wastewater occurs in the cities and the immediate vicinity of Stip and Kocani. A permanent derogation from the quality of the watercourses of the river watersheds of Bregalnica (IV category) is recorded, which indicates of high pollution of the river. 6.2.1

Air

In order to establish an integrated and efficient system of measures for air quality management at national and local level, the Ministry of Environment and Physical Planning in 2005 prepared a Cadastre and a map of contaminants and pollutants in the air for Macedonia. In the Cadastre were presented values of polluting substances at annual level from business entities, domestic furnaces and gas stations as the main sources of air pollution that directly affect the air quality in one area. The area of the confluence of river Bregalnica is covered in the Eastern statistical region and the annual data for 2005 for emissions of pollutants from different sources are summarized by the Consultants in Table 4.

The summarized data show that the biggest emissions of pollutants expressed in annual amounts of sulfur dioxide and carbon monoxide come from the industry and the domestic firewood furnaces. Characteristic of this region is the high proportion (in some municipalities up to 90% - i.e. Vinica) of use of wood for heating and cooking. Unlike these two pollutants, the quantities of nitrogen oxides and suspended particles that originate from the industry are very small, while again firewood generates a significant amount of emissions of solid suspended particles. Easily volatile substances as a result of vapors from petrol stations are at low level. Region

Water Surface waters

The watercourses in the Eastern region belong to bregalnica’s catchment area. From the water resources of the utmost importance is the river Bregalnica, which represents the largest water potential in the eastern region with well-developed hydrographic network to which there are two high dams on the accumulations "Kalimanci" and "Kocansko Ezero". To the river Bregalnica, 16 major tributaries can be distinguished, of which 10 are right tributaries (Pehcevska, Zelevica, Gabrovska, Ocipolska, Ribnica, Kamenica, Orizarska, Kocanska, Zletovska and Sveti Nikolska) and 6 left tributaries (Ratevska, Osojnica, Gradesak, Zrnovska, Kozjak and Kriva Lakavica), as well as some smaller watercourses which occasionally dry up. The quality of surface waters in Republic of Macedonia is monitored by the Head Office for hydrometeorology with RIMSYS (River Monitoring System) program by analysis of hydrological parameters, physical and organoleptic indicators, mineralization, oxygen indicators, indicators of eutrophication and harmful substances. Within this program Bregalnica is monitored in terms of hydrological parameters and other parameters that define the quality of the water and its classification according to Regulation on Classification of rivers, lakes, accumulations and groundwater (Official Gazette of RM

no. 18/99 and 71/99). The parameters in terms of quality are monitored in the stations: Krupiste (Dolen Balvan) and Ubogo marked in Figure 5, which provides all measuring stations included in the program.

Figure 5 Network of measuring points for monitoring the quality of surface waters

The data from 2007 processed by the Macedonian Information Centre of the Ministry of Environment and Physical Planning show aberrance of the water quality of the river Bregalnica and its tributaries in terms of quality prescribed by the Regulation (II class of slightly polluted, mesotrophic water that can be used for bathing, recreation and after treatment and for drinking and III class of moderately eutrophic water which can be used for irrigation). The results show that the quality of the measuring point Dolen Balvan is with parameter values for class III, and the quality of the measuring point Ubogo is with parameter value that corresponds to the III - IV class. The organoleptic indicators of both measuring points are proven by values of I - IV class, and the water is often cloudy to opaque. The indicators of acidity, pH is with values for class I at both measuring points. The alkalinity is with value estimated for I - II class at the measuring point Dolen Balvan, while at the downriver measuring point, Ubogo, with values for I class. From the ratios of the oxygen regime, the dissolved oxygen is more frequently with values for I class. The oxygen saturation is with values from 83.8-132.3% O2, at the measuring point Dolen Balvan, and is estimated by value for IV - II class, while at the measuring point Ubogo, downstream, ranging from 83.1 to 121, 1% O2. The biological oxygen consumption varies from 1,25-11,5 mg/l O2 at the measuring point Dolen Balvan to 2,0-22,0 mg/l O2 at the measuring point Ubogo. So this parameter upstream is with values estimated for III - IV class, and downstream at the measuring point Ubogo comes to worse, and is with values of IV - V class. The total dissolved substances are more likely with values proven to be I class, while the total suspended substances with values of IV - V in the measuring point Dolen Balvan. Downstream along the river Bregalnica, at the measuring point Ubogo the total dissolved substances are often proven to be class II, and the total suspended substances are III - IV class. The indicators of eutrophication at both measuring points are with values for class II. The chemical indicators of faecal pollution are with estimated values for I - II class, except the nitritniot ion, which at both measuring points is often with values of III - IV class. The examined chemical-toxic materials are with values of I - II class. At the measuring ppint Dolen Balvan the manganese is frequently with values of III - IV class, while cadmium occasionally occurs with values of III - IV class.

From the data it can be concluded that the current state of the quality of surface waters does not meet the legal requirements in respect of a number of parameters. The main pollutants are: a) waste water from households, b) waste water from agricultural combines and firms, the industry for processing food, beverages, slaughterhouses, livestock farms. The situation is expected to improve with the introduction of environmental permits (IPPC-Integrated Pollution Prevention and Pollution Control) for production facilities that must implement preventive measures to prevent emissions to water, air and soil. Diffuse sources of water pollution are largely nitrogen fertilizers used in agriculture and unfortunately they can not be precisely located due to the big area of pollution and they are diffusely dispensed in space and time. The situation with diffuse pollution from nitrogen derived from agriculture is not analyzed. According to the analysis made as part of the preparation of the Second National Communication on climate change - Second Report, a major threat to the worsening of the quality of surface waters are climate changes. They affect water quality as follows: a) reduced hydrological resources reduce the power of the dilution of water in the rivers which directly means deteriorating the quality and increased investments in wastewater treatment plants, b) the higher temperatures reduce the amount of dissolved oxygen in water bodies, c) due to the higher temperatures and greater evaporation of the water for irrigation, the pollution that is discharged into rivers increases. The groundwater quality in the area of the region is not monitored, and disruption of groundwater quality is expected as a result of the used agrotechnical measures without caution to the concentration of fertilizers and other means of improving agriculture, waste disposal in a disorganized manner without the use of sanitary - technical standards as well as from disordered landfills and discharge of water from small and medium enterprises, but also from the unaccepted communal waste water in the sewage system. Sewage

Overall compliance with the drainage systems of waste water is relatively poor, because the systems are characterized by leakage of part of the wastewater during transport, which increases the risk of contamination of soil and groundwater. In most municipalities in this region there are no treatment plants for municipal and industrial wastewaters, which are directly discharged into the river Bregalnica or its tributaries, as well as in the surrounding accumulations. These processes caused the presence of heavy metals in the water, which additionally pollute the water and change the water quality. Additional water pollution occurs also from the wastewater from farms, barns, the use of artificial fertilizers and pesticides with low quality and inadequate waste disposal.

Watter-supply

The settlements of this region, mostly supply themselves with drinking water from nearby waterways (the river Bregalnica or its tributaries, as well as the accumulations), through plants where water is treated and through water supply network distributed to the population. In the summer months when water consumption is increased, the water level of rivers is reduced, then the wells, that is, groundwater are being used as additional sources. Water quality is controled by the National Institute for Health Protection and the Institutes for Health Protection in Stip and Kocani. More populated areas of this region are facing the problem of shortage of drinking water. This problem is a consequence of several factors such as: the high average consumption per capita, then the loss of water supply systems for more than 50% because of their obsolescence (mostly older than 15 years) and the low level of utilization of systems, inadequate timely maintenance and operation of water supply systems in rural areas, absence of systematic monitoring of quality and quantity of water in water supply systems in rural areas, insufficient volume of reservoirs, treatment plants and other facilities. The problem of providing sufficient quantities of drinking water in this region is solvable by better utilization of the existing accumulation lakes as well as by reconstruction and rehabilitation of existing water supply systems and reservoirs, which will reduce the technical losses of the water. In most municipalities in the region, the water supply system is through asbestos cement pipes, which according to the standards of the World Health Organization are harmful to human health and need to be replaced.

By releasing the water supply system Zletovica, the problem of water supply to municipalities Probistip, Stip and Karbinci Stip and other cities will be solved. In the Eastern region there are also geothermal sources registered, but their use is minimal for heating greenhouses. Irrigation

From the annual water consumption in Macedonia, 40% is being used for irrigation of agricultural crops and certainly the irrigation of agricultural land in this region has large share. For the irrigation of 280,000 ha of arable land in the region of Kocani and Ovce Pole, the largest accumulation "Kalimanci" is being used, whose water is being used to produce electricity. About 3,000 ha of agricultural land is irrigated by the waters of the accumulation "Ratevo" of Ratevska Reka, and about 600 ha of dam "Gradce" at Kocanska Reka which also serves for water supply. 6.2.3

Waste

The solid waste management in the Eastern planning region is based on its organized collection by public municipal enterprises in the central settlements, transport of waste without previous selection and final disposal. The final disposal of solid municipal waste in the Eastern planning region is made at local or so-called municipal landfills, which do not meet even the basic sanitary - technical standards for safe waste disposal. According to the relevant technical standards, landfills are not properly regulated, have no regular guard service, are not protected from animals, wind, fire, and the contamination of soil and groundwater is not prevented neither.

Figure 7 The look of burning and disordered landfill

In this region there are 17 landfills, registered according to the National Plan for Waste Management, which according to the risk of contamination of the environment are classified as follows: 3 landfills - high risk, 8 landfills - medium risk and 6 landfills - low risk. In addition to these landfills in this region there are a number of so-called dumpsites. Smaller areas are not covered by organized waste collection, so locals throw the waste near the riverbeds, dry ravines and other areas, so during rains or rises of rivers big part of this waste, through local waterways, ends in river Bregalnica and its tributaries.

-41-


Study of possibilities for regulation of river Bregalnica (mini accumulations, cascades, dams) Annex 5:Assessment of the impact of the objectives of the Study on the environment

In order to overcome the problems of municipal waste management at the regional level, a Regional body for waste management is formed which is responsible for implementation of the requirements for regional approach to solving this important municipal problem and will try to provide financial resources for the planned solutions at regional and national level that are in line with the EU requirements. The basic principles of waste management that need to be followed at the regional level are: a) avoidance of creating waste and reducing its quantity, b) selecting the site of creation, c) processing by means of recycling, d) reuse of usable components or using it as an energy source and e) his removal in a manner acceptable to the environment and ensuring a high level of protection of the health of residents and the biodiversity. Waste and water management represent indeed a great challenge for Republic of Macedonia mainly because of major institutional changes that are necessary for proper functioning, strengthening the capacities of all stakeholders and the large financial resources necessary to meet the requirements of the EU Directives from these two sectors. 6.2.4

Soil

The land in the municipalities of the Eastern region, is mostly used for production of distinctive agricultural and livestock products due to the good natural and agrotechnical conditions. Rice is the most important agricultural crop with a centuries-long tradition, good yields and excellent quality. According to the production properties of the soils, mostly present are the soils from III V solvency class (50.6%). The third group of soils is characterized by mild-moderate slope (816 Đž), which is why the eroding is more reflected than in the II solvency class and the solum is moderately deep, and the fertility is moderate. The number of crops is limited, and during land use serious measures to protect soils from erosion should be taken. To the fourth group belong the heavily eroded surfaces, which give lower yields. The number of crops is limited and requires intensive application of antierosive measures.

Diagram 2 Structure of productive land

The soils of category V and VI can not be used for agriculture for various reasons: steep slopes, strong eroding, shallow and skeletal profile, unfavorable climatic conditions, salinity and alkality (haloform soils). The structure of arable surfaces according to cadastral value indicates of relatively small surfaces in the classes with high cadastral value (I, II, III) or only 13.7%, which are characterized by high fertility, variety of crops and the opportunity to obtain high yields.

Soil - climate characteristics have favorable impact on raising all agricultural crops grains, industrial, horticultural and fodder, as well as picking fruit and vineyards. Land use in areas outside agriculture and forestry, especially in recent decades has rapid growth. Intensification of the processes of industrialization and urbanization led to the transformation of a significant portion of the arable land, with a tendency for even greater transformation. Reasons for the destruction of the soil layer except the erosive processes, destruction of forests and land abrasion, are also changes in the physical - chemical structure of soils affected by excessive use of agrochemical assets, as well as deposition of sediments from the polluted air. The cloudbursts cause flushing and taking away of the soil layer, especially its organic nutrients and mineral substances necessary for the plant life. The constant devastation of the forest cover, the improper processing of the agricultural land, lead to flushing and degradation of the fertile layers and convert them into areas with reduced production capacity. In the flat areas, on the other hand, comes to accumulation of sediment on the arable land, so the erosion in total leads to impoverishment of land in the qualitative and quantitative sense. The use of chemical assets in the individual sector is characterized by large and unprofessional use of pesticides and fertilizers, which by contamination of soil, spreads and impacts on the quality of groundwater and run-off water. 6.2.5

Flora and fauna

Flora The diversity of biotopes conditions richness of plant species in the territory of the Eastern planning region. The presence of a number of endemic species is evident. The specific climatic conditions and geological diversity of the region cause the emergence of heterogeneous natural vegetation and differentiation of the altitudinal bands. More diverse plant communities live in the region (Carduus humulosus, Acanthus aculeatus, Eryngium campestre, Carthamus lanatus, Eryngium palmatum, two types of mountain-range spur - Stipa tirsa and Stipa mediterranea, prickly rose - Rosa spinosissima) and more prickly plants - Stachys recta, Galium purpureum, Achilae clypeata and Triticum vilosum (wild wheat).

Figure 8 Stipa tirsa (mountain-range spur) Figure 9 Galium purpureum (prickly plant)

In addition, the Eastern planning region is also rich with a variety of medicinal and aromatic plants, forest fruits, seeds and mushrooms. The richness of the dendroflora is reflected in the presence of 25 tree species with multiple subspecies. From the forest ecosystems, which mostly lie in the mountains in the region, most common are the deciduous forests with various species of oak (Italian oak - Quercus pubescens and communities of Italian oak and hornbeam Carpinus orientalis) and beech, while the evergreen forests are rarer where most common are pine, fir and smrcha. In the smaller areas there are mixed forests (Quercus pubescens, Quercus conferta, Carpinus orientalis, Ostrya carpinifolia, Corilus collurna, Crataegus orientalis, Cotinus coggygria, Syringa vulgaris, Pinus nigra).

Figure 2 Ostrya carpinifolia

The forest cover has a huge impact on the protection of waters, land and maintenance of biological diversity. But in some areas there is unplanned and illegal cutting of forests leading to soil erosion. In part of the region there is a community of dry meadows, which is spread on flattened and mild slopes. The water captation from the mountain springs and streams, often leads to draining of the mountain swamps and peatbogs, and thus to degradation of the marsh communities. This situation leads to a reduction of the algae diversity, especially of silicate and green algae (in the vicinity of Pehcevo - Judovi Livadi). In the area Bukovic in the surrounding of Pehcevo, as a result of mining activities, rare species of algae silicate are endangered (Eunotia arculus, Gomphonema hebridense, Caloneis pulchra, Pinnularia legumen), there are also some higher plants of national importance (Drosera rotundifolia).

The mammals are mostly represented in the higher mountain areas. In the aquatic ecosystems, the most common are the following species of fish: dace (Leuciscus cephalus), barbel (Barbus barbus), roach (Rutilus rutilus), carras (Carassius gibelio), and rarely carp (Cyprinus carpio) and sheatfish (Silurus glanis). Due to disruption of water regime and water quality, the balance of the fish stock is also dramatically impaired. In the upper stream of river Zletovica and its tributaries in which water is of category I and II live: the brown trout (Salmo trutta fario) and the Mediterranean barbel (Barbus meridionalis).

Noise

The state with noise levels in the region so far has not been monitored and analyzed, although there are sources of noise such as: vehicles, machines of commercial facilities, service facilities, as well as the activities of people associated with housing. With the new legislative regulation on noise from 2008, new limits were established on the level of noise in the environment caused by different sources for different areas. The areas are defined by the degree of protection against noise and the type of activities and the sensitivity of the population that resides in these areas and are grouped in IV degrees shown in Table 7. In accordance with the Rulebook for the locations of the measuring points (Official Gazette of RM no. 120/2008) it is important to first identify the location where the subject scope is and the activity that is planned to take place in the location and see what level of protection is valid for that area. The level of noise that will be generated must be less than the maximum permitted according to the legislation given in Error! Reference source not found. The Study of possibilities for regulation of river Bregalnica provides activities that will take place at various locations throughout the entire Eastern planning region, outside the settlement amd inside the settlement and the consultants assume that all four areas will be relevant to the projects that will follow for the priority solutions.

CURRENT PROBLEMS WITH THE ENVIRONMENT

IN AND AROUND THE PLANNING SCOPE

The environmental problems in the Eastern Planning Region and the subject coverage are identified by analyzing the current state of the environment in 11 (eleven) municipalities covered by the region, taking into consideration the strategic planning documents of all covered municipalities. The most relevant document for identification of current problems with the various elements of the environment is a Local Plan for Environmental Protection (LEAP), where key issues in the municipality are recorded, a prioritization of problems has been made, measures are proposed in the form of an Action plan to overcome them and a Plan for monitoring the progress of implementation of the proposed measures is presented. Almost all municipalities have prepared and adopted the LEAP document and implement the proposed measures. It is expected the elements of the environment that are most threatened by pollution, destruction, extermination, in one municipality and are the basis for defining the key issues in the LEAP document, also to represent the most sensitive elements in realization of the objectives of the Study of possibilities for regulation of river Bregalnica. The following elements shown in Table 8 occur as the most sensitive environmental elements, according to the representation and the severity of problems in the entire region. These most sensitive elements also represent a scope of the analysis of the impact of the objectives of the Study on each of them. The most sensitive environmental elements in the region are: a) water (water supply, sewerage network, stormwater sewerage network, waste water treatment, irrigation, water losses etc.), b) air (only in major urban areas in winter because of the use of firewood), c) management of municipal solid waste, but also all other types of waste, d) soil and the occurrence of soil erosion and loss of arable land, e) climate change (but not in big range) as a result of inadequate waste management and the emissions from agriculture, f) population (taking into consideration the needs for socio-economic development of the community), g) human health (direct and indirect impact of media pollution on the health of people), and the material goods (illegal buildings, destrution of crops, yards and houses during floods).

7. PROBABLE SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS OF THE STUDY ON THE ENVIRONMENT In order to identify the positive and negative impacts of meeting the objectives of the Study in relation to the objectives of the strategic environmental assessment in the region, analysis of the likely impacts on the media of the environment is carried out. Because it is a matter of analysis at the level of objectives of global, strategic aspect, individual development projects are not being considered, such as construction and operation of mini-accumulations, construction of rubber compartments, construction of mini hydro power plants, projects related to the regulation of rivers, etc. which are analyzed and planned in the Study of possibilities for regulation of river Bregalnica. For the individual developing projects in the later phase of implementation of the objectives of the Study, for each separately an access will be made towards detailed analysis of the impacts and the type of impacts in all phases of the project (research works, construction, operational phase, in case of disasters and after termination of work). This is defined according to Chapter XI of the Law on Environment (Fig. Gazette of RM no. 53/2005, 81/2005, 24/2007 and 159/2008) - Process of assessment of impacts on the environment of certain developing projects or pursuant to Article 24 paragraph 3 of the same Law on the procedure for preparation of Elaborations for environmental protection. In this phase of the strategic level, the potential project activities that will inevitably occur during construction and operation of all planned projects were analyzed and the impact of these project activities on different environmental elements was identified. The matrix for the identified general project activities and their mutual relation with the elements of the environment are given in... Identification only is not sufficient, but also what must be determined, evaluated and assessed is the impact on the environmental element using several criteria: a) regarding the nature of influence (whether it has positive or negative impact on the element), b) the type of impact in terms of direct, cumulative and/or synergistic effects, c) impact strength, d) duration of impact and the fact whether it is reversible or irreversible, e) the probability of occurrence of the impact, f) the over-limit importance of impact, g) importance in terms of scope, where it is felt or where its effects can be felt - locally, regionally, nationally or globally. The matrix with the evaluation of the impact of project activities planned with the realization of the objectives of the Study on the different elements is presented in Table 11. The descriptive part of the impacts and their character are presented in the continuation of the tables. Recommendation This way it will be necessary to present in more details the individual project activities included in any planned priority project of the Study and to use these matrices and other tools during preparation of the separate Studies of assessment of the impact of projects on the environment or the Elaborations for environmental protection.

Study of possibilities for regulation of river Bregalnica (mini accumulations, cascades, dams) Annex 5:Assessment of the impact of the objectives of the Study on the environment

7.1.1

Influence on the population

With the realization of the objectives of the Study for possible regulation of river Bregalnica, long-term, positive and very significant impacts on the population of the region are expected. The complex purpose of the planning solutions itself: a) water supply, b) irrigation, c) energy needs, d) enrichment of small rivers, e) flood control and f) retention of sediments, is explaining about the direct, positive, long term and cumulative effects on the local population in the Eastern planning region and indirect effects on the entire population in the country. Timely continuous water supply will provide quality, efficient and safe supply of a large number of inhabitants of the region with drinking water that meets standards, thus having direct effects on improving health and reducing the number of diseases that are transmitted through water, improving the quality and a simpler way of living. It will also have direct impact with the continuous meeting of the needs of the industry with technological water for the processes and quality safe water for agriculture, tourism and the other economic sectors (eg. fishing). The modernization of the existing and construction of new irrigation systems and the use of new modern techniques of irrigation will ensure sufficient quantities of efficiently used water to agricultural areas, greater yields and continuous supply of quality agricultural products at the national and export market, increasing the share of arable agricultural land in the total agricultural area, creating new jobs, security for farmers to continue with the same or to replace certain crops with economically more viable crops that may require more irrigation. Indirect impacts will be felt by providing lower cost of food and increased share of agriculture in the national GDP. At the same time with the development of agriculture, economical strengthening of other service areas related to agriculture is expected (trade, marketing, packing, transportation, storage, laboratories and institutes and consulting services). Some planned decisions have a direct impact on the development of tourism, alternative tourism and recreation in this beautiful and picturesque region. The construction of the mini accumulations will also reduce the current oscillations of the occurrence of floods and droughts in the region that occur and cause severe damages to the households (flooded houses, yards, destroyed cattle, need of financial resources for reconstruction and time), to the individual agriculturers and to the agriculture like an industry branch as a whole. Automatically a lack of crops apprears and the food prices rise which directly affects on the already weak economic power of the population. During the regulation of the river Bregalnica and its tributaries, as well as during the construction of accumulations, dams and rubber compartments, there will be an opportunity for opening of temporary job positions (during construction) and constant jobs during their operation and maintenance. At the same time, the attracting of investors for a longer time period, who can develop these facilities into a tourist and recreational sports centers will lead to an improved level of living standard, which will result in a reduction of the migration village - city of the young people in the region. A major significant influence is also expected on strengthening the local self-government which by regular collection of taxes will allow better quality of social, educational and cultural life of the inhabitants in the municipality.

7.1.2

Influence on human health

One of the purposes of some of the planned accumulations is providing drinking water to a large number of inhabitants covered in the region where at the moment there is lack of quality water and uncertainty in supply. The water that is being used for water supply of households is previously subjected to treatment for purification and constant control of physical-chemical and bacteriological safety of the water, in water plants, which of course would have a direct impact on the health of the population and would improve the quality of life. In contribution to the protection of environment and human health are also the anticipated activities for afforestation of the surrounding of the watercourses and the accumulations, as well as construction of facilities for recreation and sport. Regarding the human health of the population in the region, no significant adverse impacts are expected due to the type and the nature of the development projects (the construction of accumulations, dams and rubber compartments), which generally do not belong to the group of large and direct pollutants of the environment and human health, except in the construction phase when slight, short-term direct impacts on human health are expected (noise, vibration, air emissions from vehicles, dust, etc.). The construction of accumulations, dams and rubber compartments, will result in increase of the traffic near the site due to the construction work, that is, temporary presence of the construction machinery and the transport vehicles for transport of workers and construction materials. It will cause an increase in the amount of dust and exhaust fumes from vehicles in the air, and thus problems with respiratory organs among the population, particularly in the settlements where such activities will take place. Sources of noise will be the transportation vehicles for transport of the workers in and out of the subject scope as well as the mechanizing needed in the process of construction. Especially the noise will be enhanced in the phase of implementation of planned activities for the construction of reservoirs, dams, rubber compartments and regulation of the rivers. During the construction activities for regulation of rivers, especially in the settlements, attention should be paid not to exceed the allowed noise levels for a settlement and to take all measures for noise protection. 7.1.3

Influence on the quality of air

With the implementation of the objectives of the Study, no significant, long-term negative impacts on air quality are expected, especially because of the type and nature of the core activity of the facilities planned in the subject scope (water supply and irrigation). The main impacts of project activities on air quality are expected during the construction or performance of earthworks and concrete works for setting the foundations and the structures of buildings. The emergence of dust is expected as fugitive emission of the tiniest particles of soil, sand during construction of the new access roads, the final shaping of existing roads as well as during the clearing of the area and exploitation of materials for construction of dams, accumulations, compartments and the regulation of rivers, which may have a negative impact on the environment or cause respiratory irritation and breathing problems in the population. The different types of vehicles, equipment and construction machinery to be used during cnstruction represent mobile sources of emissions of pollutants of which the most prevalent are SO2, NOx, CO, PM10, un-combusted hydrocarbons, sulfur, lead, benzene and other aromatic hydrocarbons that contribute to secondary creation of ozone and they all represent direct and indirect risk to the human health and the environment. Yet the quality of fuels in Macedonia is within the European standards and is controled in accredited laboratories, so that mobile sources do not pose a threat to the violation of air quality.

-56-


Study of possibilities for regulation of river Bregalnica (mini accumulations, cascades, dams) Annex 5:Assessment of the impact of the objectives of the Study on the environment

The emergence of emissions of combustible substances and the negative impact are with short-term intensity, locally and through distribution of the pollutants affects on the air quality in the area. Increased frequency of vehicles is expected for delivery of construction materials and transport of workers in and out of the subject scope as a short-term and cumulative process. The emergence of emissions of harmful gaseous substances from the eventually created dumps of solid waste, construction waste and hazardous waste by the construction sites is not excluded. The specific significant impacts on air quality will account for each specific activity/project, which will be implemented within the planning scope and of course they will receive appropriate treatment with measures to reduce or eliminate them. Preventive measures to reduce emissions, continuous monitoring and reporting to the competent institutions need to be provided. The possibility of using the water in the acumulations and watercourses, as a renewable source of energy production from small hydro power plants, contributes to improving air quality on long-term and promotion of the renewable energy sources available to Macedonia.. But since this is a very small capacity of the planned hydropower plants (Ponikva, Bela Voda, Repnica, Dobrava and Plasinci) of total 13,75 kW, the importance of the renewable energy sources is minimal as a share of the total production. 7.1.4

Influence on the quantity and quality of waters

With the implementation of the objectives of the Study which primarily mean managing the waters of the river basin Bregalnica, very significant, long-term, positive synergistic impacts on water quantity and quality are expected, as well as benefits for the local population of rational use of the waters for water supply, irrigation and getting electricity. Efficient redistribution of water by space and time is expected which will provide water in the dry summer periods, and will reduce flooding. Higher quantities of water will provide increased capacity of the water body for selfpurification. The destructive effects of erosion of land will be reduced and reducing of deposition of sediments is expected, thus providing greater accumulation space and efficiency in the operation of the accumulations. The regulation of the river-bed of rivers and the possibility to manage the flows of river Bregalnica and its tributaries will directly affect the regulation of minimum acceptable flows (biological minimum of rivers) for provision of water eco system. The project solutions will directly at long-term contribute to the protection and promotion of the aquatic environment and the biodiversity along the river. The positive long-term and most significant impacts on the water represent cumulative and synergistic impacts that directly affect to all areas of life of the population in the region. But, however, small, insignificant negative impacts appear. The possible negative impacts of the facilities for regulation of river Bregalnica and its tributaries, as well as the measures that would be suggested to prevent them, depend on the location, the location of the facility for regulation, the type of applied technology, the purpose and the capacity.

Study of possibilities for regulation of river Bregalnica (mini accumulations, cascades, dams) Annex 5:Assessment of the impact of the objectives of the Study on the environment

During the construction phase of building the facilities for regulation of r.Bregalnica and its tributaries, the following negative impacts on the quality of the surface and ground waters are expected: Construction phase

The etablishment of construction zones and the regulation of rivers, the construction of dams, accumulations, rubber compartments, turbine foundations, access roads and other facilities can affect the quality of surface waters in the following way: ¾ The disruption of earthen surface and the removal of soil cover can cause erosion of the sediments and potential contamination of nearby surface waters by increasing the level of solid suspended particles in them; ¾ Temporarily changing of the course of rivers, until the completion of construction activities; ¾ Reducing the flow of water in rivers, while following the legal regulations for providing the necessary biological minimum in water courses; ¾ Increasing the concentrations of heavy metals, nitrates and dangerous substances from nearby installations; ¾ Leakage of contaminated waters from areas of construction activities; ¾ Disposal of waste into surface waters. ¾ Leakage of wastewater from the temporary toilets (wastewater from the temporary toilets should be transported and removed by an authorized company and that is why impact on water quality is not expected). ¾ The access roads could change the regime of removing storm water due to the change of the permeability of the surface, removal of the vegetation and the performed modification of the earth profiles during the construction. The change of regime can cause erosion and sedimentation of the natural drainage paths, causing impacts on downstream surface waters. Operational phase Quantity of waters

Filling the accumulations, by water intake from the river Bregalnica and its tributaries alters the hydrological cycle, the quantity and quality of groundwater, but has long term positive impact in the controlled use of the water for water supply and irrigation, as well as for production of renewable energy. The rubber compartments that need to be made in the river-bed of river Bregalnica are intended to raise the water level in the river during the low watercourse and thus, despite the possibility of involvement of the irrigation water, a possibility of using the space for tourism is obtained. Quality of waters

The operativeness of the dams and accumulations can result in potential minor adverse impacts on water quality, especially in the activities for maintenance and control of the infrastructure and the equipment of the dam. Potential sources of water pollution during this phase are: ¾ Oil leak during maintenance and from turbines. ¾ Disposal of waste into surface waters. ¾ Creation of conditions for anaerobic processes in reservoirs.

Study of possibilities for regulation of river Bregalnica (mini accumulations, cascades, dams) Annex 5:Assessment of the impact of the objectives of the Study on the environment

Increasing concentrations of heavy metals, nitrates and dangerous substances from the surrounding installations and polluted watercourses where the untreated wastewater is being discharged, from the industry and the municipal water, also directly affect the water quality in the accumulations and rivers. In order to eliminate the negative impact of wastewater on human health by consumption of agricultural products irrigated with polluted water, it is urgent to construct treatment plants for the waste waters discharged into the watercourses. 7.1.5

Influence on the soil

The activities for construction of the facilities for regulation of r.Bregalnica and its tributaries, in the constructive phase, could hurt the geological characteristics of the soil, as a result of using heavy mechanizing and vehicles, transport and disposal of surplus excavated material, disposal of construction waste, extracting sand, gravel and clay from river banks and others. Some of the impacts that may occur in this phase are: 他 Removal of the upper layer of soil during clearing the area, removal of vegetation, stones and roots of vegetation; 他 During the construction of dams and accumulations, an excavation of large quantities of land occurs, as well as during construction of access roads, causing a change of the quality and profile of the soil, the changes and impacts are with permanent character and relate to the physical changes of the terrain and the use value of the soil; 他 Erosion of land which is the result of the increased movement of soil during the digging of the ground and the construction, as well as because of cleaning of the vegetation; Compaction of soil as a result of the movement of vehicles, causing a reduction in infiltration of water into the soil and changing the regime of groundwater; 他 Pollution of soil from leaks of substances, such as fuel or oils during the use of vehicles and the mechanizing or the release of some pollutants that are already present in the soil; With the exploitation of sand from the river-bed of the river Bregalnica and its tributaries, a disruption of the falls along the river-beds of watercourses occurs and an increase of water speed, which is the reason for a significant increase of the depths of river-beds in relation to the natural depth. The Study records that in some places erosion has strong influence on soil, of which the most widespread is the surface erosion which is manifested by surface flushing without forming or with already started process of forming grooves. At much smaller areas but with significantly stronger intensity, widespread is the grooved and the ravine erosion. Line erosion of the river-bed is most widespread at most of the watercourses to a greater or lesser extent, but its significance in some cases is significantly smaller than surface erosion.

7.1.6

Influence on the biodiversity (flora and fauna)

The impacts on the flora, that is the plant life, are assessed as significant in the construction phase, for cleanup of sites and the removal of vegetation in the locations provided for the regulation of river beds and the creation of accumulations. These changes will cause: ¾ Changes in the water regime; ¾ Loss of wooden mass; ¾ Changes in the regime of the streaming of air and its quality; ¾ Potential instability of the soil, danger of flooding and increased sedimentation of material; In the construction phase, activities that would have a potential negative effect of the autochthonous flora and fauna are: ¾ The increased frequency of vehicles and mechanizing will result in increased noise level, which can cause disturbance especially of birds and mammals in their usual activities for food and rest and their displacement. ¾ The previously mentioned activities potentially affect, mainly in small amount, to the loss of hunting grounds (at the bats), other mammals and birds and loss of resorts during the summer or have limited impact during the migration by the loss of places for nourishment and pairing. ¾ Change of flora and fauna in and around accumulations. Still it should be emphasized that the impacts on the biological diversity in the construction phase are short-term nature and that by implementation of appropriate preventive measures and procedures, they can be reduced to a negligible level. It is expected that some of the wildlife in the future will be reduced (due to degradation and fragmentation of their natural "homes" and habitats of movement) and part of individuals will displace, but it will not affect on the disruption of biological diversity on a global scale. An important measure to prevent the disruption of the water eco system is the minimum acceptable flow of rivers along the constructed buildings (mini accumulations, mini hydro power plants) which will provide a biological minimum in the water and life for the aquatic species of plants and animals. 7.1.7

Influence on the climate change

The climate changes and impacts are minor and are mainly a result of the emission of exhaust gases that cause greenhouse effect (carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide). These gases affect global warming, which in turn causes changes in the intensity of the climatic parameters. Discharge of gases in the air as a result of the work of construction operations and the occurrence of dust while performing construction endeavors, in phase of construction are among the possible causes of climate change and impacts. In this phase the removal of forest vegetation is evident and if it takes place with no control it can cause a change in the climate characteristics. Changing the water regime of the watercourses, as well as the construction and creation of accumulations, also changes the local micro - climate, especially in terms of increased humidity and temperature change that will positively affect the population. If implemented the construction of small hydro plants in the basin of river Bregalnica will have a positive impact on the micro - climate in the region since the resulting energy will be produced from renewable sources instead of burning fossil fuels. All this will contribute to reduction of greenhouse gases, but should bear in mind that it is insignificant amounts of energy that is being received from the mini hydropower plants.

Influence of the climate change on the water resources sector

On the other hand, climate change that is already taking place globally, in large affects on the vulnerability of the water resources sector from the permanent trend of increasing temperatures and decreasing the amount of rain. Republic of Macedonia as a signatory to the Convention on Climate Change of the United Nations and the Kyoto Protocol is obliged to prepare National Reports covering the topics of the impacts of climate change on all sectors, identification of vulnerable sectors and introduction of measures to adapt the sector to future effects of climate change. The water resources sector is one of the vulnerable sectors and in the Second National Report of Republic of Macedonia to the UN Framework Convention these activities are analyzed: irrigation, water supply, hydropower compared to current status and the future needs at the national level according to planning documents at the national level. Also estimates were made of the vulnerability of water resources for various water basins, analysis of the impact of climate change on economic, social and health aspects at the national level and adaptation measures were proposed. An increase in water temperature is expected by reducing the flows which means danger to the water balance and the water world because of limited quantities of dissolved oxygen which is necessary for wildlife. Small streams contribute to higher concentrations of ammonia, nitrites and phosphates into the water and deteriorating quality of water resources. Generally, the reduced hydrological resources that are expected as a result of climate change reduce the power of the dilution of pollution, reduction of dissolved oxygen in water bodies and particularly for agriculture an increase of pollution is expected and the result is a violation of water quality, which on the other hand requires more funding for treatment to secure quality of its usage. The Study predicts adaptation measures that are divided into two groups: a) adjusting the supply and b) adapting to the needs because there will be a lack of available water resources and increased demands for water. As measures for adaptation of supply, specified are the modification of existing infrastructure and their alternative management and construction of new facilities for the regulation of water systems. Preserving and enhancing the efficiency of the systems and the technological changes are listed as the main measures for adaptation of needs. In addition to these technical measures, there are also listed measures relating to the creation of policy of water management, the legal framework, strengthening the capacities of all stakeholders and others. Study opportunities for regulation of river Bregalnica through defined objectives will directly assist in adjusting the supply of the population with quality water for all the needs of current and future generations when it is assumed that the impact of climate change will be worse. The Study of possibilities for regulation of river Bregalnica by the defined objectives will directly help in adjusting the supply of the population with quality water for all the needs of the current but also future generations when it is assumed that the impact of climate change will be more expressed. 7.1.9

Influence on the area

In the phase of construction of the dams, accumulations, rubber compartments and other associated facilities, the appearance of the landscape will shortly change as a result of the activities to be undertaken on the ground in the form of clearing, digging of foundations, presence of transport vehicles, trucks and other mechanising required for transport of construction materials and workers, setting of water supply systems and disposal of wastewater along the river Bregalnica.

But, a significant negative impact is not expected because the planned locations for the construction of dams and accumulations, are chosen in a manner to best fit the environment in accordance with the situation on the ground, that is to have earth material near enough, as well as to have already an access road to the profile of the dam (thus the needs for intervention are minimized), to have a favorable hydrology of the water flow as well as proximity to the settlements as an opportunity for the development of fishing, tourism and other economic activities that would derive substantial benefits from the construction of accumulation. It is expected that the implementation of project activities will have a positive impact on the area in terms of landscape and functional composing with the existing infrastructure and will act as a planned whole, which in future will contribute to the development of tourism and fisheries. Visualization of the future project solutions (dams with accumulations, rubber compartments, mini hydropower plants) is presented in the Study in the relevant chapter. 7.1.10 Influence on the cultural heritage The region along the river Bregalnica and its tributaries is characterized by the presence of numerous natural reserves and natural monuments, caves, waterfalls, archaeological sites and so on and these are listed in Chapter 6.1.7. It is a matter of a rich natural heritage and the possible negative impact on it, which would appear in the phase of the planned buildings depending on their distance from the project locations. Negative impacts can be defined after determining the boundaries of the same in a detailed urban plan, which will determine the precise locations and boundaries of each of these facilities with the detailed urban plans (planning documents), and at the same time also the exact location of the facilities for regulation of river Bregalnica and the tributaries, the exact distance, the interdependence and the possible impacts will be visible. If during the execution of construction works a locality is revealed, the constructor of work is obliged to stop work and inform the competent institutions to take appropriate measures. The discovery of objects that have cultural and historical value are handled according to guidelines of the National Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments of Republic of Macedonia in accordance with the legal obligation under Article 65 of the Law on Protection of Cultural Heritage (Official Gazette of RM no. 20/04 and br.1/07).

8. OBJECTIVES OF ENVRONMENTAL PROTECTION 8.1

OBJECTIVES OF STRATEGIC ASSESSMENT OF THE ENVIRONMENT AND INDICATORS

The specific objectives of protecting the environment (Objectives of Strategic Environmental Assessment) during the realization of the objectives of the Study of possibilities for regulation of river Bregalnica are identified on the basis of an analysis of the environmental problems in the subject scope (the entire Eastern planning region) and identification of the most sensitive elements of the environment on which the most pressure is felt, and which would be mostly exposed to the negative impacts of the realization of the generally proposed project solutions in the Study. The specific objectives of environmental protection must be taken into account and parallelly to be accomplished together with the objectives of the Study when the planned project solutions will be realized. From the analysis made in Chapter 6 and Chapter 7 it is evident that the water as a medium (its quantity and quality and current and future use) is not the only sensitive element of the realization of the objectives of the Study despite the fact that the Study is focused on management with the water resources in the basin of river Bregalnica. It is because of the existence of other already sensitive environmental elements whose condition would be aggravated further by the realization of the objectives of the Study, why it is necessary for each significant element of the SEA (sea, air, biodiversity - flora, fauna, population, material goods, land, climate change, human health, cultural heritage and landscape/region) to have defined objectives of the Strategic Environmental Assessment as objectives for the protection of the particular element so that each element can be protected and able to get a promotion of its present condition. By defining the objectives of the SEA a basis is created for identifying the impact of the implementation of the objectives of the planning document on these objectives and their interaction will be monitored and recorded by using proposed indicators of SEA presented in Table 12. For each objective of the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) a set of indicators is appointed to monitor the implementation of the objectives for protection of the environment in the subject scope in the next period in which the realization of the planned project solutions from the Study is planned.

MEASURES TO PROTECT, REDUCE AND MITIGATE THE NEGATIVE INFLUENCES OF THE STUDY ON ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS

Regarding the estimated possible impacts of the objectives of the Study on the various elements of the environment provided in Chapter 7, the consultants proposed measures which must be implemented to prevent, reduce, mitigate or compensate the adverse impacts that could occur in realization of the objectives of the study. The measures are shown in Table 13 in relation to the element of SEA and the related objectives to be achieved. The proposed measures are mainly focused on identifying issues that should be taken into account in the preparation of other documents that follow after the adoption of the Study, in the phase of the identification of funds, preparation of conceptual, basic and performance project of each planned project. Subsequent documents/studies that should be prepared for the project are Study of assessment of impact of the development project on the environment, or Elaboration on the protection of the environment. The proposed measures should be included in the scope of these documents/studies and the competent authorities should pay special attention to their planning and practical application after the commencement of work on the buildings. Also the need for monitoring of all environmental media is pointed (special emphasis is placed on quantity and quality of wastewater, the water that will be used for water supply and irrigation) by monitoring the emissions from various sources of pollution.

Objectives of SEA

Limiting the pollution of the rivers and accumulations with wastewater and water from the industrial capacities and construction of treatment plants

Proposed Measures to prevent, reduce or mitigate the significant adverse effects from the realization of the Study Consistent implementation of the national legislation regarding the discharge of wastewater in the recipient/collector system in the case of industrial wastewater and/or the sewage system in the case of urban wastewater. INDUSTRY Following the requirements of the EU Directive on integrated control and protection from the pollution for the installations that are required to obtain IPPC permits (A/B type) in terms of efficient water use, water use in the technological process and its reuse and identification of the emissions of pollutants in wastewaters and methods of its treatment. If there is a water treatment plant essential elements are its efficiency, type of technology used, adopted scheme for continuous monitoring of the wastewaters and monitoring the quality of the recipient. Regular reporting to the competent institutions (Municipality and MEPP) for the data from its own monitoring of wastewaters. The installations will also have to meet the requirements of the EU Framework Directive on Water and the EU Directive on emissions of priority substances released into the wastewater in a lack of national regulation (unfortunately, the bylaws that have a base in the law on water are still not ready and adopted). In the future Studies of assessment of the impact of the projects or Elaborations of protection of the environment, what should be especially pointed is the source of water for the technological process, the way it would again return in the process, the solution of wastewater treatment, the construction of the treatment plant, the quality of the recipient where the water is discharged, the technique of treatment and the extent of treatment, plan for laboratory examinations on the quality of wastewater before and after the treatment and degree of purification. COMMUNAL/URBAN WASTEWATER The municipalities need to start and realize initiatives related to municipal/urban wastewater collection, their safe drainage to a treatment plant and proper treatment before discharge into the recipient. Special attention should be paid to the treatment of the sludge and its disposal. If it is removed as waste, it must be controlled whether it contains hazardous substances (if it does, it must be treated as hazardous waste).

Consistent implementation of the national legislation in terms of intake, water use, recent technical advances (best available techniques - BAT) for efficient use of water for the appropriate process (water and/or irrigation). Compulsory monitoring of the water quality in accordance with the bylaw act on water safety in terms of the physical - chemical and biological parameters in the national and municipal institutions for health care according to annual plans. Continuous quality monitoring must be performed due to the fact that there are no built treatment plants for industrial and urban wastewater. These checks must be made to the water supply network as well. The pipeline network of the irrigation systems must be periodically examined for possible defects and cracks that might cause leakage and loss of water. In the studies of assessment of the impact of the project separately (Study on the impact of the project on the environment/Elaboration for Protection of the Environment/Application for IPPC permit) it should be strictly required to provide technical solutions for efficient water use, introduction of measures for cleaner production through material balance of water, its reuse and saving.

Proposed Measures to prevent, reduce or mitigate the significant adverse effects from the realization of the Study Implementation of many measures of arrangement of the erosion phenomena and processes in the watersheds and the river-beds of the water courses (construction of facilities for protection against erosion: bulkheads, canals, dams, accumulations, etc.). The type of measure depends on the strength (the erosivness, the destructiveness) of heavy water flow, the type of buildings and the land to be protected. In the upper (source) part of the torrential basin most commonly minor transverse structures are performed aimed at consolidation of banks and remediation of any ice rinks. In the middle flow transverse bulkheads are built with the aim of retaining the alluvium from the upriver part. In the lower flow few different measures are applied: barriers to retention of alluvium, regulation work and similar. Forestation is also one of the most effective measures to prevent erosion. Other general measures: Protecting soil from erosion Maintenance of the vegetation cover on the soil surface sensitive to erosion.

MONITORING PLAN

In order to monitor the significant effects (of course, positive and negative) of the realization of the objectives of the Study and to take appropriate measures on time, if the same are not realized or if they significantly and negatively affect the environmental elements in the subject scope, it is necessary to set indicators of SEA which the Consultants have put into Chapter 8. The continuous monitoring of the indicators of SEA will also provide an opportunity for systematic observation, examination and evaluation of the effectiveness of the measures introduced to protect, reduce or mitigate the adverse effects of the planning document. For this purpose it is necessary to prepare a Monitoring Plan that in summary establishes the relations between the elements of the SEA from the subject scope, the proposed indicators and the responsibles for their monitoring, analyzing and, where appropriate intervention. The monitoring plan will help to the Centre for Development of the Eastern planning region (to all covered municipalities) to review the situations in the subject scope in realizing the objectives of the study, the status of implementation of the planned measures and will further enable efficient planning of other infrastructural projects and will ensure sustainable development of the municipality. Only in this way, the objectives of the strategic planning document for managing the waters of river Bregalnica can be realized in a synchronized manner (parallelly) and the objectives of environmental protection in the subject scope can be achieved. The monitoring plan also allows the establishment of an interactive relationship between all stakeholders in the process of planning, design, construction and environmental protection and is the basis for the competent institutions, to control the process of implementing the legislation and to make the right decisions. It is necessary to fully use the already established environmental indicators by the Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning and the State Bureau of Statistics of Republic of Macedonia, the indicators of the millennium development objectives, especially MDG-7 on environmental sustainability, the indicators for sustainable development (unfortunately still not defined), indicators that Republic of Macedonia uses for referencing the EU for environment and energy and other sectoral indicators (water consumption, waste waters, social life, energy, agriculture, forestry, health etc.). In Table 14 the Plan for monitoring the Strategic Environmental Assessment for the subject scope is presented which includes priority projects for regulation of river Bregalnica with defined responibile institutions for monitoring the indicators of SEA. Of course the local government of the covered municipalities is fully responsible for monitoring the implementation of the Plan for monitoring, analysis of the values of the indicators and the trend of decreasing, increasing them and comparison with the national or other relevant. It is especially important that each included municipality will use the objectives of protecting the environment, the defined indicators (free to add more indicators specific for the particular municipality, for any purpose of the SEA) and the proposed measures to prevent, mitigate or compensate the negative impacts and to require from the investors/contractors of the construction works to implement the measures, and the municipal administration to monitor the indicators and to propose new measures as necessary.

9. ALTERNATIVES AND PRECONDITIONS FOR THE REALIZATION OF THE STUDY AND PROPOSED MEASURES FOR PROTECTION Without getting into detailed technical solutions the Study makes a cross-section of the possibilities in the Eastern Planning Region for the construction of small accumulations, rubber compartments and regulation of the river-beds of rivers in the basin of river Bregalnica. Because of the really big cumulative positive long-term importance of the realization of the objectives of the study, the preparations should run really carefully, step by step and more alternatives should be considered. It is because of the fact that the work in the Study is at level of testing possibilities, the alternatives that the consultants propose are more related to issues that should be addressed during further plannings in order to meet the objectives of the Strategic environmental assessment for the subject scope and to meet the objectives of the study fully. It is characteristic that several priority projects are examined in the Study, but for each of them the alternatives would address the following: ¾ Choosing the proper location within the subject scope when attention should be paid to the sensitive environmental elements and the indicators for SEA; ¾ The time of commencing project activities (preparation of project documentation and construction of the buildings - especially those intended for irrigation and water supply) must be in correlation and to subsequently follow after the improval of the water quality that would be affected by the accumulation; ¾ To explore opportunities for adding/taking away of functions of the accumulations and their capacity; ¾ To give priority to the assessment of the river basins and their characterization of the types of surface water bodies through the use of mandatory and discretionary values of the hydromorphological and physical - chemical conditions and biological reference conditions; ¾ Considering the aspect of the economic feasibility of the project and the willingness of the population to pay for the service (application of the principle - the user pays) and timely public informing and its active involvement; ¾ To give priority to projects for which funds for realization can be provided in an easier, faster way and under better financial conditions; ¾ Immediately to start strengthening of the capacities of the local administration and the employees at the Centre for development of the Eastern planning region in terms of examining the possibilities for financing of this type of projects and the modules for financing; ¾ During the preparation of the project documentation, the guidelines of national legislation should be utilized for the project, but at the same time to be supplemented with topics/requirements recommended by international institutions that would eventually finance the project (EU, EBRD, KfW Bank, World Bank ... ) of course the same also applies to the assessment of the impact of the project on the environment; ¾ During the preparation of the Study for assessment of the impact on the environment, for the project should also be taken into consideration the objectives of the Strategic Environmental Assessment, the indicators and the envisaged measures;

-81-


Study of possibilities for regulation of river Bregalnica (mini accumulations, cascades, dams) Annex 5:Assessment of the impact of the objectives of the Study on the environment

¾ Immediate proceeding for each municipality should be made to identify the numerical value of the indicators of SEA for their municipality in order to obtain regional ones and they should be used to monitor the realization of the objectives of the Study and the objectives of protecting the environment ( SEA Objectives); ¾ Enhancing the capacities of the local government in terms of the methods and techniques of planning, management and implementation of the legislation in all elements of the environment and inspection supervision (especially for the water resources); ¾ Maximum active participation of representatives of the local government of the affected municipalities and the Centre for Development of the Eastern Planning Region during the preparation of the national strategic documents in the WATERS sector (Strategy on waters, Water-economy base, etc.); ¾ Establishment of databases for the state in each element of the DPSIR (driving force - pressure – environmental state - impact - response) framework of environmental management at local and regional level (advantage to have the element WATER); ¾ Establishment of monitoring of the emissions of pollutants from the manufacturing facilities, distribution of emissions in the air, water and soil and regular reporting to the Ministry of Environment and Physical Planning and the Local Government; ¾ Enhancement (technical, educational and with human resources) of the existing monitoring of the quality of water and soil through the renovation and upgrading of existing laboratories in order to undertake new parameters that are projected in the EU water sector directives, new methods of analysis, control and ensuring the quality and readiness - providing their accreditation according to the ISO 17025 standard; ¾ Preparation of urban planning documentation neccessary for the commencement of project activities; ¾ Ensuring transparency, forms of communication with all stakeholders (government institutions, consulting firms, NGOs, academic institutions and commercial/industrial installations) in order to actively participate in the water management; ¾ Establishing procedures and ways of delivering information to the public on the quantity and quality of waters; ¾ Close cooperation with health workers and medical doctors to work on identification of health risk from water pollution or their insufficient and inappropriate treatment. Only with timely and/or parallel development of these preconditions, maximum effective realization of the objectives of the Study for examining the possibilities for regulation of the river Bregalnica can be guaranteed, with long-term, positive synergistic effects for sustainable development of the affected communities and Eastern planning region.
