Environmental Impact Assessment Study for 400 kV OHL SS Stip – Macedonian-Serbian Border5.7 Mitigation Measures for Sustainable Waste ManagementAlthough the quantity of waste is not consideredsignificant, it is necessary to implementspecific actions for sustainable treatment and waste management.During the life cycle of the 400 kV interconnective transmission line, an optimal approach towaste management will be established and implemented. This approach will have inconsideration the requirements and obligations set out in the Macedonian legislation in thefield of waste management.Depending on the actual possibilities and potentials of the current system of wastemanagement in the wider area of the site, an attempt will be made for implement thecontemporary hierarchy of EU waste management. Moreover, particular attention will begiven to the opportunity to utilize recyclable fractions.Construction phaseBased on identified expected types of waste, the management of different fractions of wasteat this stage is given in the following table.Type / wastefractionWaste frompackagingMunicipal wasteConstructionwaste /Other wastefromconstructionand relatedworksSelection /Recycling / re-useSelection of thosefractions which are ofmarket interestSelection of thosefractions which are ofmarket interestReuse for construction /Selection of thosefractions are of marketinterestTreatmentOtherfractionsMixedwasteMixedwasteMixedwasteTransport / processing/ removalLicensed serviceprovider(s)Licensed serviceprovider(s)Licensed serviceprovider(s) – landfillfor disposal ofconstruction waste(inert fraction)NoteFractions ofhazardouswaste will beseparatedManagement of hazardous fractions of wasteThe hazardous waste will be selected, in order to separate it from the non-hazardous andinert waste. It will be stored in special containers, and licensed service providers under theLaw on Waste Management and the relevant secondary legislation, will be engaged for itsremoval from the area of the site and construction area.Operational phaseWaste items and materials that will be created during the maintenance of the transmissionline, or replacement of spare parts or equipment, will be transported outside the corridor ofthe route of the transmission line. The recyclable fractions will be introduced in the chain ofrecycling, through sales to licensed recyclers.Management of hazardous fractions of wasteThe hazardous fractions of waste that will be created during the operational phase (electromaterials,oils, chemicals, etc.), will be transferred to interested licensed companies.134
