2 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN-MITIGATION PART Phase Issue Mitigating Measure Responsibility* Sitting - Construction camps will not be established near the forested areas I. Sitting of camps and municipal services for worker camps -Construction camps will be sited at least: (a) (b) (c) 1 km from any protected areas 50 meters from any surface water bodies, and 1 km from any villages or sites of cultural significance Services (a) Water for the camps will be provided by. (b) Compact waste water treatment unit will be established at main camp. At camp, sewage will be stored temporarily in a septic tank and will be transferred to main camp for waste water treatment. Treated water will reach at least to minimum allowable water discharge criteria and than it will be discharged to AKSU River. (c) Recycleable solid waste will be collected at suiatable storage area and then will be given to recycling firms. (d) Garbage from the camps will be put in garbage drums and it will be collected periodically by DERELI Municipality. MENERJI Enerji SELİN İNŞAAT TAAH.LTD. Construction II. Construction solid waste management (soil, rock, packaging materials etc.) - Construction camp restored to compatible use after work is completed. - It is estimated that during excavation works, m 3 of soilrock will be removed from its original place m 3 of this amount will be used for concrete production, m 3 will be placed on suitable stocking area and remaining m 3 will be used as filling material. - Rock shall be used as fill to the greatest extent possible, excess to be disposed of at site approved by authorities - Topsoil will be stored and covered to prevent erosion. After completion, soil will be restored to original location and revegetated. - Packaging wastes from electrical equipment will be recycled wherever possible. otherwise it will be collected by. - Burning is to be limited to prevent forest fires. MENERJI Enerji III. Construction engine equipment exhausts IV. Construction equipment storage - Verify equipment has valid operating permits - Minimize engine idling by turning off equipment not in use for more than 5 minutes - Avoid tree cutting to create storage area - Place equipment on impervious surface to prevent oil leaks from contaminating soil - RJI Enerji - O

3 q p g - Locate storage area at least 50 meters away from any surface water bodies, avoid villages and any population centers MENER A.Ş. Construction V. Noise - Construction would take place only during daytime (from 7.00AM to 7.00PM) - The noise level will be kept under the stated limit in "Environmental Noise Assessement and Management Regulation". If noise level exceeds the limit (except during blasting), measures such as installing protection walls will be taken. - Workers who exposed to high level of noise will use necessary equipments such as headset or earplug. - If during evening is required, the local affected people will first be consulted at least one week in advance. MENERJI Enerji VI. Dust - Water spraying in dry and windy conditions on local roads where trucks pass and at any sites - Dusty materials will be covered with canvas cloth during transportation -MENERJI - VII. Worker safety VIII. Soil erosion and silt runoff IX. Existing roads X. Access road siting and XI. Transmission line routing and - Contractor will be required to develop a health and safety plan two weeks before starting work, and then subproject sponsor will review and approve it; workers will be subjected to health screening and health and safety training sessions will be provided; public health education will be part of the program - Necessary safety tools such as helmets, working shoes, ear protection, dust filter and others will be provided and be required to be used by workers. - Any transmission towers or other structures will be located to avoid high slope (>30 ) areas - In case selection of such slope areas cannot be avoided, structures will be designed to minimize excavation on slopes - Construction will proceed during dry conditions - Bunds, sedimentation ponds, or other silt trapping devices constructed to avoid siltation into surface waters - Minimize additional traffic movements on existing roads - Repair any roads as soon as damage becomes evident - Keep roads free from mud, debris and other obstacles - Use existing access roads wherever possible - Avoid tree cutting or economically productive lands wherever possible - Use existing ROWs wherever possible - Avoid migratory or local bird routes, particularly protected areas (e.g. Ramsar sites) A.Ş. - -MENERJI - - -

4 Construction XII. Historical, archeological and cultural artifacts, and areas/structures of local/international cultural value - In case any historical, cultural or archeological asset in encountered during excavation/, the excavation/ work shall be stopped and the Provincial/Municipal Directors of Culture and Museum Directorate shall be immediately informed thereof. No persons are permitted to remove articles or disturb the area: such action are grounds for dismissal or contract cancellation. The work will be resumed after inspection and written approval by the authorities. - In case any transmission line or access road or structure passes through or is to be sited on village cemeteries, the alignment or site would normally be changed. If it is unavoidable, a special consultation with the affected communities would be held to determine culturally appropriate means of relocating the gravesites in accordance to local customs/beliefs/traditions. No tower pads are to be placed in cemeteries. A.Ş. - -Museum Directorate -Provincial Directorate of Culture and Nature XIII. Raw material supply All materials supplied to the subproject, e.g. stone, concrete, sand, etc. must be provided by contractors with valid operating permits XIII. Management of hazardous materials (fuels, lubricants, explosives etc.) - All hazardous materials are to be stored on impervious surfaces, in well ventilated buildings that are locked and fenced when not in use and to which public access is denied and at least 50 meters from any surface waters. - Maintanance and lubrication of all trucks and equipment will be done at authorized service centers at neighbouring towns. In emergency case, it may be done at site but in this case, waste lubricants will be collected in drums and send to service centers. A.Ş. - XIV. Fish passage - Population centers and forested areas are to be avoided - In order to maintain natural life of every kind of fishes, a fish passege will be constructed. The project for fish passage will be prepared together with a hydrobiologist, in order to make sure that all type of fishes easily move forward through Aksu River. XV. Loss of forest - Avoid siting project in forested areas, to the extent possible. Any forest removed must be restored after or replaced at some other location Noise (from power house) - Equipment should be housed in sound insulated buildings, and/or trees shrubs planted around noisy equipment to further absorb sound - Workers who exposed to high level of noise will use necessary equipments such as headset or earplug. SELIN Operation Worker safety - Workers will be subjected to health screening and health and safety training sessions will be provided - Necessary safety tools such as helmets, working shoes, ear protection, dust filter and others will be provided and be required to be used by workers.

5 - All operational activities will be in compliance with the relevant Turkish Occupational Health and Safety Regulation - M Operation Domestic sewage (operations staff) - Domestic sewage will be stored temporarily in a isolated underground septic tank and will be periodically collected by. Domestic solid waste (operations staff) - Recycleable solid waste will be collected at suiatable storage area and then will be given to recycling firms. - Domestic garbage will be put in garbage drums and it will be collected periodically by Saimbeyli Municipality. - Accumulated clay and sandy soils in sedimentation pool will be collected periodically. Sınce this soil is very useful for agricultural activities, it will be given to neighbouring farmers. A.Ş.
