Preliminary Environmental Study (SPA) of the intervention of “Partial demolition of the current North Pier with regularization of the related seabed in the Port of Ancona

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT

The intervention of “Partial Demolition of the current North Pier with regularization of the relevant seabed in the Port of Ancona” (Proponent: Port System Authority of the Central Adriatic Sea), provided for by the current Port Master Plan, is aimed at improving the maneuvers of ships entering and leaving the port, responding to specific navigational safety needs.

As part of the project, VDP oversaw the drafting of the Preliminary Environmental Study (SPA) for the purposes of the EIA Subjectivity Verification procedure.

The following specific aspects were addressed in the Preliminary Environmental Study:

– A.1 Compliance of the project with strategic planning tools in the transport sector, territorial planning tools, environmental planning tools, other sectoral planning, urban planning tools, protected natural areas and the Natura 2000 Network, constraint regime, coherence of the intervention with the objectives of the programming and planning tools investigated;

– A.2 Project description: state of the port, classification of the project within the framework of the PRP currently being defined with project criteria and motivations, project alternatives, description of the planned interventions, description of the construction site, including the planned activities and means of work, phases and timetable, balance of matters;

– A.3 Environmental analysis: investigations, surveys and investigations, preparatory to environmental, geognostic, morphological and bathymetric design, territorial framing of the intervention context and in the vast area, estimation of the expected effects on the environmental matrices during construction and operation, environmental monitoring with indicators capable of expressing the expected effects on the environmental matrices from project actions;

STUDY SPECIFICITY

The following studies and insights were developed in support of the SPA:

  • Subject Management Plan;
  • Traffic study relating to the construction phase with in situ survey;
  • In-depth study of the emissive
  • Study of the effects on noise of induced construction site traffic along the routes of the vehicles used
  • Study of the cumulative effects due to the presence on the territory of other projects under construction

At present, the preliminary investigation process is underway at MASE.
