The objectives of the Energy Community of South East Europe Adaptable Program Loan (APL) Program - Fifth APL for Albania Dam Safety are to: (i) safeguard the hydroelectric plants of Albania; and (ii) improve their operational efficiency and integration within the regional electricity market. Negative measures includes: lowering of the Koman Lake (aqua life disturbance), air pollution, waste generation, noise pollution, accidental spills to water and soil, and health hazard and work safety. Mitigation measures includes: (a) special attention should be given to planning of the works for installing the stop logs. The works should be done in the shortest possible period to avoid lowering of Development Objective (DO) and increase of temperature in Koman Lake. However, safety of the dams during these works should be on the first place; (b) dust from demolition and transportation of construction material and waste will be minimized by use of water, by minimizing speed of vehicles and enclosement of cargo; (c) the contractor has to follow procedure for waste management, this implies collection, handing over the waste to authorized company for hazardous waste management and fulfilling accompanying documentation; (d) all construction workers and Hydropower Plants (HPP) employees should undergo health and safety training, and those dealing with the hazardous materials should receive special training in handling the materials; and (e) if there will be need for installing fuel storage tanks they will have secondary containment with sufficient volume contain a spill, or 110 percent of the largest tank.
