D.2.2. OVERVIEW OF POSSIBLE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS DURING<br />
PROJECT USE<br />
D.2.2.1 POSSIBLE CHANGE OF MICROCLIMATIC CONDITIONS<br />
With regard to the type and size <strong>of</strong> the project <strong>of</strong> the container terminal<br />
construction, no changes or effect on the microclimate are expected.<br />
D.2.2.2 POSSIBLE IMPACT ON NATURAL SEA AND LAND ECOSYSTEM<br />
D.2.2.2.1 LAND<br />

IMPACT ON PROTECTED VALUES OF THE AREA<br />
The construction <strong>of</strong> the Container terminal in the <strong>port</strong> <strong>of</strong> Ploce, which is located in<br />
the middle <strong>of</strong> the <strong>port</strong> area <strong>of</strong> the <strong>port</strong> <strong>of</strong> Ploce, does not increase the impact on<br />
the <strong>port</strong> surroundings.<br />
The <strong>port</strong> area <strong>of</strong> the <strong>port</strong> <strong>of</strong> Ploce, which is located next to the im<strong>port</strong>ant<br />
landscape, today too has strictly defined boundaries <strong>of</strong> the <strong>port</strong> area so that the<br />
protected parts <strong>of</strong> the environment can be preserved to a maximum degree.<br />
Within the scope <strong>of</strong> planned construction <strong>of</strong> the Container terminal facility,<br />
deepening <strong>of</strong> the <strong>port</strong> basin shall be executed by excavation <strong>of</strong> the sediment to a<br />
specific depth. The new construction shall represent nothing new in the local<br />
waters <strong>of</strong> the basin between the Quay 5 and Quay 7, i.e. something that was not<br />
already done within the regular maintenance <strong>of</strong> the depth <strong>of</strong> the basin and the<br />
waterway.<br />
The development <strong>of</strong> Quays 7 and 6 will improve the existing picture <strong>of</strong> untended<br />
shallow shores with a number <strong>of</strong> above water and underwater tufa, since<br />
inorganic and organic material shall no longer be collected on the shore.<br />
Development <strong>of</strong> the waterway and depth increase shall favourably affect the sea<br />
changes within and around the local waters.<br />
D.2.2.3 POSSIBLE CHANGES IN ASSIGNMENT OF LAND USE<br />
CHANGES IN PURPOSE OF AREA USE<br />
The construction <strong>of</strong> the Container terminal and development <strong>of</strong> the area<br />
for handling and storage <strong>of</strong> containers shall not have a negative impact on<br />
other structures and their amenities in this area, no will they affect their<br />
functioning since the biggest part <strong>of</strong> the project is planned within the<br />
framework <strong>of</strong> the present <strong>port</strong> area, while the extension <strong>of</strong> cargo-handling<br />
area shall be obtained by developing already existing <strong>port</strong> area. All these<br />
interventions are in accordance with the applicable physical plans.<br />
