7. Environmental issues<br />
7.1. Environmental risks<br />
The follow<strong>in</strong>g checklist was used at <strong>the</strong> pre-<strong>feasibility</strong> phase <strong>in</strong> order to avoid<br />
significant environmental damage at <strong>the</strong> beg<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g or dur<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> execution of <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>project</strong>. All answers could be answered with no, consider<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> remarks made above.<br />
SOIL<br />
The <strong>project</strong> causes serious erosion risk (due to slope, tree species choice,<br />
suppression of ground vegetation or any o<strong>the</strong>r reason):<br />
The <strong>project</strong> causes serious risks of soil degradation, acidification, loss of fertility<br />
(due to tree species choice or any o<strong>the</strong>r reason)<br />
WATER<br />
The <strong>project</strong> has a significant risk of deplet<strong>in</strong>g or significantly lower<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> ground<br />
water table (due to tree species or any o<strong>the</strong>r reason)<br />
The <strong>project</strong> has a significant risk of deplet<strong>in</strong>g or significantly lower<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> baseflow<br />
<strong>in</strong> sources and water courses supply<strong>in</strong>g local population and irrigated agriculture<br />
(e.g. due to tree species or any o<strong>the</strong>r reason)<br />
The <strong>project</strong> will have an adverse effect on water quality (through <strong>the</strong> use of biocides<br />
or fertilizers or any o<strong>the</strong>r reason)<br />
VEGETATION<br />
The site is unsuitable <strong>for</strong> tree growth as a consequence of drought, waterlogg<strong>in</strong>g,<br />
sal<strong>in</strong>ity, extreme slope, elevation, lack of soil or any o<strong>the</strong>r site factor<br />
The <strong>project</strong> has a significant risk of outbreak of pests or diseases (due to <strong>the</strong> use of<br />
exotic tree species or any o<strong>the</strong>r reason)<br />
The <strong>project</strong> has a significant risk of fire damage (due to <strong>the</strong> use of conifer species,<br />
<strong>the</strong> frequency of dry spells, conflicts with o<strong>the</strong>r land use or any o<strong>the</strong>r reason)<br />
The <strong>project</strong> has a significant risk of frost damage (due to unadapted species choice<br />
or any o<strong>the</strong>r reason)<br />
The <strong>project</strong> has a significant risk of w<strong>in</strong>dthrow (due to stand density and evenagedness<br />
or any o<strong>the</strong>r reason)<br />
The <strong>project</strong> has a significant risk of o<strong>the</strong>r damage (e.g. drought, flood<strong>in</strong>g, hale,<br />
landslides or any o<strong>the</strong>r natural or anthropogenic cause)<br />
BIODIVERSITY<br />
The <strong>project</strong> will replace more or less undisturbed natural ecosystems (<strong>in</strong> or outside<br />
protected areas)<br />
The used species pose a significant risk of <strong>in</strong>vasive spread<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> landscape<br />
The <strong>project</strong> contributes to <strong>the</strong> fragmentation of native vegetation<br />
The <strong>project</strong> is a risk <strong>for</strong> one or more endemic or endangered species (both fauna and<br />
flora)<br />
