ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT FOR ANTALYA-TURKEY POWER PLANT 1

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

AKSA ENERJİ ÜRETİM A.Ş. is proposing to construct a 566 MW natural gas driven power plant

in Antalya in order to meet the increasing power demand in the region. However, considering the

site conditions the actual output will be 525,2 MW. The Company acquired approximately 120 ha

of land neighboring the organized industrial district of Antalya.

This Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is to provide information on the potential negative

and positive environmental and social impacts of the project. It also aims to make

recommendations for the mitigation of the potential negative impacts and enhancement of the

positive ones. A field survey of the project site was conducted and potential environmental

impacts of project activities were identified, assessed, and documented. The EIA Team carried

out consultations with various stakeholders, particularly lead agencies, local authorities and the

affected people.

Both the Turkish and World Bank's social safeguard policies have been considered during the

assessment. The EIA study has been carried out according to requirements of the current EIA

Regulation of Turkish Government (Official Gazette, No: 25318, 16.12.2003) and the

Environmental Assessment Policies and Procedures of the World Bank OP 4.01 Environmental

Assessment (Annex B - Content of EA and Annex C - Environmental Management Plan).

Aim of the EIA study is to meet both the requirements of the Turkish EIA Legislation and World

Bank for a "Category A" Environmental Assessment Study (OP 4.01 Annex B Content of an EA

Category A Report). For this purpose, EIA has been prepared according to the special EIA

format regarding the requirements of the World Bank and Turkish Ministry of Environment and

Forestry.

This EIA study has been conducted by ENÇEV and ITU Environmental Engineering Department

and Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering Department Working Group.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT FOR ANTALYA-TURKEY POWER PLANT 2

1.1 Project Description

The intended power plant will comprise 2 units of 283 MW SIEMENS SGT5-4000F gas turbines

yielding a total capacity of 566 MW, which will be operated as simple cycle turbines that will be

driven by natural gas only, with an actual output of 525,2 MW at site conditions. The plant will be

constructed near the organized industrial district of Antalya.

The plant will cover a land of 100,000 m2. The land is registered as agricultural land in the land

registry.

1.2 Project Impacts

The potential ecological impacts identified in the operation of the power plant are: (i) water

pollution related to disposal of domestic solid wastes generated by the personnel and domestic

wastewater generated by the personnel, (ii) water pollution from oil type wastes and/or spills

used for the maintenance of equipment (iii) noise pollution resulting from the operation of

turbines and other equipment (iv) air pollution resulting from the stack emissions during energy

generation.

All those wastes with potential impacts on the environment will be treated with most recent

technology available in accordance with the relevant national and international legal framework.

The positive impacts that will be benefited from the project are basically the additional power

availability and reliability in the region which is currently experiencing frequent power outages.

The impact of power reliability will improve infrastructural conditions for further investments,

basically related to tourism sector, in the area.

Accordingly, this will enable increased employment opportunities to the youth in the area and

hence help to improve the social well being also with improved life standards due to satisfactory

electricity supply.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT FOR ANTALYA-TURKEY POWER PLANT 3

1.3 Recommendations A number of mitigation measures are recommended against the adverse activities during the

construction and operation phases of the project. Measures recommended during the

construction phase include control of noise pollutions from heavy equipment and vehicles

through proper inspection and maintenance, and use of noise suppressors or mufflers for heavy

equipment, control of air pollution from construction works and movement of vehicles through

proper inspection and maintenance to reduce exhaust emissions, watering of unpaved roads,

control of adverse impacts from construction debris by proper handling and immediate removal,

control of water pollution through proper storage and handling of oil wastes and treatment of

wastewaters at site, control of solid wastes through sanitary storage and frequent collection for

sanitary disposal. Quality of air and water will be monitored on a regular basis where noise will

be measured periodically.

While during the operation phase, emphasis has been on the control of; emission levels which

will be treated with the use of gas turbine equipped with dry low-NOx technology, noise pollution

(particularly for the workers) which will be treated with building a noise insulated power room and

satisfactory maintenance of related equipment, possible water pollution from oil wastes which

will be treated with employing proper handling and storage of oils/oil wastes and stringent

management of oil spills, all of which will be assured with periodic monitoring of noise and

emission levels and drinking water quality. All precautions against fire accidents and

electrocution will also be taken.

In all phases occupational health and safety will be carefully considered and controlled through

continuous inspection to prevent disease and accidents, and workers will undergo an

environmental and safety briefing on safety, sanitation measures, and emergency rescue

procedures before development begins. Adequate sanitary facilities, potable water, and garbage

bins will be provided.

From the study findings, it has been concluded that the impacts of the proposed project are

minor and easily mitigable. The developer is strongly advised to implement the

recommendations made by the EIA Team.

The land registries show that the land is owned by AKSA ENERJİ ÜRETİM A.Ş.

The system will consist of the following units:

Gas Turbines 2 Units of SGT 5-4000F Model and Auxiliaries

Raw Water Tank for Fire Fighting, and Fire Pumps

Gas Pressure Reduction Station

Main Power and Auxiliary Transformer

Switchyard

The process profile of the power plant is shown in Figure 3. It shows the flow of natural gas and

the energy production.

Figure 3. Process Profile of the Power Plant

The plant will burn natural gas at 33 bars to produce electrical energy. The units are classified as

industrial type gas turbines.

The natural gas will be taken from the national natural gas transmission lines at a 4 km distance

from the plant. The natural gas will be piped directly to the system with branching from the main

line without intermittent storage.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT FOR ANTALYA-TURKEY POWER PLANT 11

Natural gas is a mixture of light molecular weight hydrocarbons (C1-C5) such as methane (CH4),

ethane (C2H6), and propane (C3H8). A major portion of natural gas is methane. It may be found

in underground alone, or as gas on top of petroleum reservoirs, or as dissolved in petroleum.

Like petroleum, natural gas is present in the microscopic pores of rocks and it reaches the

production wells flowing through the rocks. Natural gas is separated from the heavy

hydrocarbons on surface. Natural gas is the cleanest fossil fuel that is used for domestic

purposes. When natural gas is burnt, CO2, water vapor and NOx are formed. The compositions

of natural gas and petroleum are given in Table 1.

Natural gas is an odorless, smokeless, economical, high efficiency, clean and environmental

friendly gas which is free from toxic materials.

The utilization of natural gas has been increasing among other energy resources and it is

anticipated that it will continue to be an alternative energy resource in the 21. Century. The

share of natural gas grown to 22,5 % in 1982 from 16 % in 1960s, whereas the share of solid

fossil fuels dropped to 32 % from 52 % in the same time interval. This trend is likely to be

followed in the future.

Table 1. Components of Natural Gas and Petroleum

Component Molar Fraction of Natural Gas

Molar Fraction of Petroleum

Methane (CH4) 0.90 0.44 Ethane (C2H6) 0.05 0.04 Propane (C3H8) 0.03 0.04 Butane (C4H10) 0.01 0.03 Pentane (C5H12) 0.01 0.02 Hexane and heavier (>C6H14) << 0.01 0.43

The plant will not consume water for its operation as the gas turbine has a dry low NOx control

and all cooling operations will be performed by air. Water consumption will only be in the form of

domestic water consumption by the plant’s personnel. The water will be supplied from wells to

be drilled on and around the site.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT FOR ANTALYA-TURKEY POWER PLANT 12

Wastewater generated will not be discharged to any sewerage system. An independent

wastewater treatment plant will be designed to treat the domestic wastewater discharges. The

treatment system will be designed to meet the criteria defined for Sensitive Zones under the EU

Council Directive Concerning Urban Wastewater Treatment (91/271/EEC) considering the

potential sensitive character of the project area. The treated wastewater will be reused for

irrigation purposes in the project area which is in line with the policies related to rational use of

water resources.

New storm water drains will be constructed at the site which will be used together with the

existing drains to direct storm water to the main drainage system.

The site is reached by land road which takes approximately 25 km from the Antalya City center

and it is right next to the Antalya-Burdur highway.

The construction works will be completed in 1,5 years. The economical life of the plant is

estimated as 30 years. The project time table is given in Table 2.

The numbers of workers to be employed during the construction and operation phases are given

in Table 3. In the operation phase personnel will be a total of 200 workers.

It is planned to work in 3 shifts. In the operation phase 100 people will work in the plant. In the

operation phase it is planned to arrange the working hours as 667 hours per month and for 12

months a year. Hence the plant will be able to work in full capacity.

4. ENVIRONMENTAL BASELINE DATA

This chapter provides information on the physical, biological and socio-economic elements of the

environment, which shall be used as benchmarks for future monitoring. The area considered for

assessment of baseline conditions span the whole Antalya region which will be large enough in

extent to include all potential impacts from the proposed project. Data were obtained as a result

of literature and field surveys.

4.1. Physical Environment 4.1.1 Geology and Geomorphologic Characteristics 4.1.1.1. General Geological Structure

Stratigraphic and formational characteristics have been identified, the 1/25000 scale maps have

been partially completed and the 1/100000 scale geological map of the region has been

prepared. There have been hundreds of naming studies conducted in the West and Middle

Taurus Mountains.

In order to form a uniform legend, the naming for similar rock types of similar ages have been

unified in an appropriate approach and this has sometimes led to exceptions. The study area

placed in the Antalya gulf (West Taurus Mountains) houses Antalya nappes and the Myocene-

quaternary ranged plant covers that cover the Antalya nappes stratigraphically.

4.1.1.2. Stratigraphy

Beydagları Formation which represent the autochthonic rock units are placed in the north of the

region. Beydağları and Antalya Miocene basins are developed partly independent of each other,

and Antalya Upper Miocene-Pliocene basin which is developed totally independent from the

others make up the main Antalya Neogene basin.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT FOR ANTALYA-TURKEY POWER PLANT 16

The rock units of the Beydağları Miocene basin of Western Taurus start with; the Aquitanian

Karabayır Formation which consists mainly of limestons with Rhodophyta and continue with the

Burdigalian and Langhian Karakuş Formation consisting of flysch type sediments and the

overlying deltaic conglomerate. This formation, which fills the basin, has been developed during

the Middle Miocene while the Lycian nappes were thrusting.

The Antalya Miocene basin in the west of Middle Taurus lies between the Beydağları and

Anamas-Akseki platforms. The basin consists of the Aksu Formation which includes terrigenous

conglomerate-siltstone, marine; conglomerate-sandstone and reef limestone lenses; the

Oymapınar Limestone of mainly reef limestone; the Çakallar Formation consisting of limestone

breccia and packstone alternated with clayey limestone; the Geceleme Formation of limy

claystone -sandstone alternation; and the Karpuzçay Formation which is composed of shale-

sandstone-conglomerate alternation with occasional volcanic tuff interbeds.

This sedimentation period started in Upper Oligocene and ceased in Upper Tortonian as the

basin was compressed first towards the-west and later towards the south by the Aksu phase. In

the area elevated by this compression, the Taşlık Formation consisting of clayey limestone -

limestone-blocky conglomerate (some are gypsum) has been deposited locally in Lower

Messinian.

The Antalya Upper Miocene and Pliocene basin lies in the west of Middle Taurus. It appears in

the south of the Aksu valley and along the Mediterranean coast as a post-tectonic unit. The

Messinian Eskiköy Formation of conglomerate-sandstone, the Gebiz Limestone sometimes

reefal showing lateral gradation into the Eskiköy Formation, the Yenimahalle Formation of Lower

and Upper Pliocene age including limy claystone -sandstone, and the Upper Pliocene Alakilise

Formation which consists of sandstone with volcanic tuff and conglomerate make up the rock

succession of this basin.

Geological map of the project area and its close vicinity of 1/100 000 scale is given in Figure 4.

Beydagları autochthons

Beydağları which represent the autochthons of the West Taurus mountains, are generally

composed of platform-type sediments. The study area consists of, from bottom to top, Upper-

Middle Triassic aged Kuyubası dolomite, Beydaglari formation that is composed of Jura-Kretase

aged neritic limestones, danien aged Camlıdere olistostrom, Upper Lutessian-Prabonien aged

limestone, Karakustepe formation formed from sandstone, claystone and silt stones.

TRIASSIC

Kuyubası Dolomite

The Upper- Middle Triassic aged formation form from old thick dolomites was named by Gunay

et al. (1982). The surface mostrals of the Kuyubasi dolomite correspond partially to the Mentese

dolomites and Leylek limestones on-bserved in the northeast and east. The unit consists of

massive, middle thickness, dark grey colored, coarse particle and sometimes fine-middle

particle, spread dolomites. Dolomite limestones can also be observed spead in these dolomites.

The unit is transitive to Beydagi formation on the top side. The unit has been observed to be

2200 m thick. Involutina sp. was identified in the dolomite exploration along with the Megalodon

sp. on the upper levels. Kuyubasi dolomite sedimented on shallow carbonate self environment.

JURA-CRESTACEOUS

Beydağları Formation

Upper Cretaceous carbonates of the middle-northern part of the Bey Dağları autochthon

(between Elmalı and Çamlıdere) show important sedimentary breaks and facies changes with

respect to evolution of the platform. Biostratigraphic studies on the Upper Cretaceous

carbonates indicate deposition in neritic, hemipelagic and pelagic environments.

The Upper Cretaceous sequence of the middle-northern part of the autochthon is represented by

two formations. The Bey Dağları Formation comprises thick neritic limestones at the base and

thin hemipelagic limestones at the top. Approximately 700 m thick, middle Cenomanian-

Coniacian neritic part consists of shallow water platform limestones, which deposited in peritidal

environment. 26 m thick, Coniacian-Santonian hemipelagic limestones gradually overlie the

neritic limestones. Thin to middle bedded cherty pelagic limestones of the Akdağ Formation

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT FOR ANTALYA-TURKEY POWER PLANT 19

reach to the total thickness of 100 m and disconformably overlie the different stratigraphic levels

of the underlying Bey Dağları Fromation. The pelagic marls of the Paleogene, which locally

begin with a pelagic conglomerate levels, disconformably overlie the different stratigraphic levels

of the Upper Cretaceous sequence. Two rudist formations have been observed in the neritic

limestones. The lower rudist level observed in the eastern slope of the Katran Dağ is mainly

composed of caprinids (caprinid-radiolitid lithosome). The rudist fauna comprises

Ichthyosarcolites bicarinatus (Gemmellaro), Ichthyosarcolites triangularis Desmartes, Caprina

schiosensis Boehm, Neocaprina gigantea Plenicar, Schiosia cf. schiosensis Boehm,

Sphaerucaprina woodwardi Gemmellaro, Durania sp., Radiolites sp., Sauvagesia sp. and

unidentified radiolitids, which indicate Middle-Late Cenomanian. Corals and gastropods

accompany the rudist fauna.

Upper rudist level is dominated by hippuritids and found near the top of the platform limestones

(hippuritid-radiolitid lithosome). The fauna is represented by the dominance of Vaccinites

praegiganteus (Toucas), which is accompanied by rare Vaccinites inferus (Douvillé), Hippurites

socialis Douvillé, Hippuritella resecta (Defrance) and radiolitids.

87Sr/86Sr values of well-preserved low-Mg calcite of the shells of V. praegiganteus show that the

age of this level is of Late Turonian. The upper rudist level, which prominently occurs in the

Korkuteli area, is observed in the stratigraphic sections measured in Büyükköy, Kızılağaç and

Peçenek Boğazı throughout the northern part of the platform. Pseudorhapydionina dubia-

Pseudorhapydionina laurinensis, Chrysalidina gradata-Pseudolituonella reicheli and

Nezzazatinella picardi-Psudonummoloculina heimi biozones have been identified, which

correspond to Middle-Upper Cenomanian, uppermost Cenomanian-lowermost Turonian and

Middle- Upper Turonian respectively

PALEOCENE

Camlıdere Olistostrom (Tpc)

The formation was named by Poisson (1977). It consists of limestone marn, claystone and

sandstone on the bottom and olistolite particles of various sizes on the top. The base of the unit

has rock types such as middle-thin, beige, cream, gray, yellow, pink colored limestone, marn,

claystone, siltstone, kalkarenite, and sandstone. On top of it there is the Antalya nappes and

turmis olsitostrom of the Beydaglari formation. This high level matrix has a caotic character on

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT FOR ANTALYA-TURKEY POWER PLANT 20

the upper levels which is sometimes sandstone-claystone and sometimes conglomerate. The

thickness ranges between 0 -200 m. The unit is assumed as Danien aged. The formation

sedimented in the active basin environment on the front of the Antalya nappes.

EOCENE

Kucukkoy Formation

The formation was named by Poisson (1977). It consists of claystone marn, siltstone, sandstone,

clayey-sandstone and limestone. It is hard to distinguish the Kucukkoy formation due to the

similarity to the Paleocene-Sub Eocene aged rocks and tectonics. The formation consist of

middle thin, thick layered, white, yellow, grey, beige, greenish grey, pink and red colored

calcarenite, sandstone, limestone and middle level claystone, siltstone, marn, and clayey-

limestone rock types. Conglomerates can be observed on the bottom layers. The thickness of

the unit ranges between 0-500 m. The formation is Upper- Lutessian-Priabonien aged. It

sedimented in slope-basin environment.

MYOCENE

Karabayır Formation

The formation forming from algae limestone was named by Poisson and Poignot (1974). The

formation can be observed also in the Antalya nappes on the South of Sutculer. The unit

consists of middle-thick layered, grey, beige, cream, yellow, and dark gren algae limestones.

Conglomera or conglomeratic limestones can be observed on the bottom. Coral masses are

observed in parts where algae are less dense. The formation ends with clayey limestones on the

top. Its maximum thickness is 400 m. The formation is Akitanies Sub Burdigalien aged. It

sedimented in shallow carbonate self environment.

Karakustepe Formation

The formation generally forming from consequtive lining of sandstone, claystone and siltstone

was named by Poisson (1977). The formation can be observed also in the Antalya nappes on

the South of Sutculer, where it is dominated by claystone. The unit consists of consecutive thin-

middle-thick layered, grey, gren, beige, light Brown sandstone, claystone and siltstone. Clayey-

sandy limestone, conglomer, marn types can also be observed in the unit. The maximum

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT FOR ANTALYA-TURKEY POWER PLANT 21

thickness is 600 m. It is Burdigaliyen aged and also corresponding to Sub Langien. It

sedimented on slope-basin environment with heavy turbid streams.

ANTALYA NAPPES

Antalya nappes were identified by Lefevre (1967). It was categorized as Lower Nap (Cataltepe

unit), and Upper nap (Tahtalıdağ unit) and then re-categorized as Cataltepe nap, Alakırcay nap,

Tahtalıdağ nap ve Tekirova ofiyolit nap by Senel et al. (1992,1996). In the study area, the

Alakırcay nap, Tahtalıdağ nap ve Tekirova ofiyolit napa are surfaced. The Alakırcay nap formed

from Alakırcay and Kumluca units, is structurally located on Cataltepe nap and below the

Tahlalıdag nap. The Alakırcay nap named by Senel et al. (1981) is Anissien-Norien aged. It

consists of overlaying Halobiali micrite, radyolarite, cort, planty sandstone and pillow shaped

basalt, spilite type of rocks on vertical and horizontal directions. It has a chaotic structure due to

fractures, which hardens identification of formations within the unit. It is Upper Anissien-Norien

aged. It sedimented on basin environment. It consists of the Gokdere, Candir and Tesbihli

formations.

Gökdere formation

This formation occupies an area of 35 km2. In many parts of the area the formation occurs in the

uppermost levels of the Triassic rhythmic series. The formation consists of platy limestones

containing silica nodules. Thickness of the formation is between 400-600 m. Limestones, which

are whitish to milky-white-colored or pinkish to gray-colored, contain silica lenses; in places

radiolarite layers can be observed within these limestones. This formation—which horizontally or

vertically grades into radiolarites in the lower part—shows gradual transition into sandy

limestones in the Körler Mahallesi, situated in the north of the area. In the eastern part of the

area, in the vicinity of Gökdere, Deveboynu Geçidi, platy limestones which show lateral transition

and are interbedded with radiolarites were observed. The radiolarites contain abundant Halobia,

Daonella and small Ammonites and are overlain by marly limestones and sediments with plant

remains; the contact is abnormal since the formation is thrust here over the Upper Cretaceous

and limestone beds.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT FOR ANTALYA-TURKEY POWER PLANT 22

Thin sections of fine-grained limestones with silica nodules were examined and the presence of

the following fossils was established: Nodosaria sp., Glomospira sp., Duostominidae, Radiolaria

sp., spicules, and pelagic lamellibranch fragments. Erol Öngüç, who determined these fossils,

assigned them to a Triassic age. Macrofossils, such as Halobia, Daonella, and Ammonites

(Ceratites sp.), were also found.

Sedimentological study of the thin sections of some samples showed that the rock is

biocalcilutite (or aphanitic limestone). Biomicrite is generally well sorted and contains Radiolaria,

Nodosaria and other small, deep-sea Foraminifera scattered in an orthochem consisting of thick

calcareous ooze.

Dolomitization is very slight and secondary calcite mosaic and stylolite structures, which do not

change the original texture of the rocks, are also observed. Study of the rocks shows that calm

marine conditions predominated in this area. Alternations of thin limestone, radiolarite and

sandstone beds reach sometimes several hundred meters of thickness. The Gökdere formation

appears here as an anticline which is overlain by the white-colored and semicrystalline Karadağ

limestones; the contact between the two formations is slightly faulted.

Going upward the boundary between the sandstone facies and the limestones is characterized

by a gradual transition. This is a somewhat different form of rhythmic series. The area is

characterized by numerous minor faults. In the limestone blocks, occurring within the lower

portion of the limestone strata, silicified and brecciated parts are observed. Sedimentological

study of the thin sections showed that the rock is mainly unconsolidated biomicrite containing

radiolaria and pelagic lamellibranch fragments. Irregular calcite veins of various thicknesses are

encountered in this formation.

Çandır formation.

The Çandır formation covers an area of about 27 km2. Going from the west, exposures of this

formation are also observed at the northern and western flanks of Erendağ, in the vicinity of

Çandır Mahallesi, between Çınarcık and Armutçuk, north of Menekişler, east and west of Girevit

Dağ, in Gedeller Mahallesi, north of Sivridağ, west of Tahtacı and Körler Mahallesi, and on the

coastline west of Dinek Çeşme.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT FOR ANTALYA-TURKEY POWER PLANT 23

Çandır formation overlies conformably the Permian limestones and is overlain, in turn, by a

radiolarite-bearing chert formation. No fossils were found in the Çandır formation; it contains

numerous sills of extrusive submarine lavas. Although plant remains were encountered in some

of the layers they could not be determined.

The formation is generally thick-bedded and grades into sandy limestone beds. In some

localities, this formation alternates with radiolarite beds, while in the upper parts it gradually

alternates with platy limestone beds. It occurs in the lower part of the thick Triassic rhythmic

series, and its thickness varies between 300-600 meters. In the middle part of the formation

alternations of marls and limestones are observed.

Çandır formation, which generally occurs on the flanks of the hills, consists of sandstone, sandy

limestones and marls. Sandstone, which is dominant, occurs in the form of beds attaining some

100 cm in thickness. However it is thin-bedded when occurring in alternation with green-colored

marls and silicified layers. The beds are generally yellowish, brown or sometimes gray-colored.

The sandstone layers, which overlie the Permian limestones and dolomites west of Dinek

Çeşme along the coastline, are hard,-yellowish in color, and contain plant remnants; ripple

marks are also observed. Sandstone layers are conformable with the Permian dolomites and are

overlain by Cretaceous limestones.

Sandstones observed south of Gedeller Mahallesi are also found in the valley between Sivridağ

and Karıncalı Dağ, but contact with the Permian layers is not normally observed due to thrusting.

Further to the west, in the Sivridağ area, they are thrust over the Upper Cretaceous limestones.

The boundary between the two formations is faulted.

In the lower levels of the Çandır formation, radiolarite and limestone layers, as well as

crystallized limestone blocks, 20-30 meters in length, are observed in places; these do not show

continuity and grade horizontally into the sandstones.

Tesbihli formation

This formation occupies an area of approximately 8 km2. It is encountered in many places in

various levels of the Triassic rhythmic series, but its greatest thickness occurs in the middle part

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT FOR ANTALYA-TURKEY POWER PLANT 24

of the Triassic. Exposures of this formation are observed in the following localities: On both sides

of Sinan Değirmeni located north of the area; in the area between Erendağ and Karadağ; in the

Çukurardıç locality; south of Çalbalı Dere; in the area between Akadamlar Korler Mahallesi and

Sekli Tepe; to the south of the studied area, between Çınarcık-Filler Mahallesi, and between

Akçaisa-Armutluk; between Palaz Mevki -Şalbalı Dağ (in thin bands); east and west of Girevit

Dağ; and south of Gökdere. In these areas the formation grades vertically or laterally into

sandstones and limestones. The formation is mainly red-colored; in places, green, gray or black

color can also be observed.

The Tesbihli formation concordantly and gradually passes into the Çandır and Gökdere

formations in the lower and upper parts, respectively. Its lithology is represented by cherts,

radiolarites, radiolarite-bearing cherts, green and brown-colored, thin bedded marls and clays,

pink-colored and thin-bedded limestone, as well as grayish marly limestones.

The thickness of radiolarites varies between 40 to 60 meters. Total thickness of the formation

including other rocks encountered in the area amounts to approximately 200 meters. However,

thickness of the formation shows some local changes. Abundant Daonella and Halobia are

found in various parts of the area under investigation. Particularly rich in fossils are the following

localities: Deveboynu -Çınarcık Mahallesi, Palamut Gediği and southern part of Tesbihli Tepe.

Fossils collected from the strongly folded and fractured red radiolarites, located south of Tesbihli

Tepe, were identified by Mrs. Suzanne Freneix from the Paleontological Institute of France, who

attributed this formation to Ladinian, based on the presence in these beds of Daonella indica

Bittner.

The Tesbihli formation within the Triassic rhythmic series is tectonically the most affected

formation in the area; in places it is fractured, folded and strongly deformed. The formation is not

represented by continuous beds but is in the form of lenses, which attain sometimes 1 to 3 km in

length. The general strike is in the NE-SW direction. Within this formation bituminous horizons

and manganese ore beds are encountered.

4.1.2. Soil Characteristics

Extensive soil classes have been formed in Antalya with the effects of the topography, climate,

main materials, land cover and time. In addition, some land types devoid of soil cover and profile

improvements are also observed.

The largest area of the Antalya basin is covered by red Mediterranean soil. It covers a land of

574332 ha in Antalya. It is common in especially north and central part of the basin and it

extends to the north of Lake Egridir in the south. It is observed in northern direction beyond this

point. It is mostly seen in combination with Red-Brown Mediterranean soil which is common in

mid basin areas. These soils are in certain parts cut through with alluvial and colluvial soil.

The second prevailing soil type is Antalya basin is the Brown-Forest large soil type. It covers a

land of 326.246 ha. It extends through the basin from one end to other, starting from Alanya in

the south east of the basin, to northwest between Mediterranean land and Rendzinas. In

addition, it is observed in combination with chestnut color land in the west and north (Lake

Egridir) of the basin.

4.1.3. Climatology Ambient Temperature As the project site falls within the borders of Antalya city, meteorological data of Antalya city

obtained from the State Meteorological Institute of years 1996-2005 were considered in this

study. Monthly average ambient air temperatures recorded in Antalya are given in Table 4.

Figure 5. Wind Rose of Antalya according to the Blow Frequencies

Figure 6. Wind Rose of Antalya according to Average Wind Speeds 4.1.4. Topography An average of 77,2 % of Antalya’s land is mountainous, 10,2 % is plateau and 12 % is

undulating land. The Taurus Mountains which cover ¾ of the city, are higher than 2500 – 3000

m at several points. There are wide plateaus and basins in the western Teke region. The

majority of these mountains and plateaus are formed from limestone. There are many caves,

water springs and such structures in the regions formed from the melting of limestone structures.

The topographic variety of the region creates different environments in terms of climate,

agriculture, demography and residency.

The different areas can be distinguished as coastal and upland. The average elevation of the

coastal sites range between 5-44 m, where as the elevation in upland regions range between

900-1000m.

Major water bodies

Rivers and Streams

Rivers and streams in Antalya collect water from the southern slopes of the Taurus Mountains

and they are basically observed like creeks. They have irregular regimes and dry-out towards

the end of hot and dry summer months.

The major streams can be listed as:

Manavgat Creek: Originating from the mountains on the east of Gembos basin, the Manavgat

Creek flows down to Manavgat falls. It has a very regular flowing regime. It is one of the streams

with largest capacity in the South Anatolian region, other than the Seyhan and Ceyhan rivers. It

has a greenish color.

Aksu Creek: It enters Antalya from the Isparta border. The velocity of stream is very fast along

the Antalya basin following a rather narrow path. It is supplemented from an area of 3000 km2.

The stream loses its strength after entering the basin. It is highly susceptible to the changes in

the precipitation. It sometimes causes flooding on the both sides of the stream. It is used for

transport of woods.

Kopru Creek: It enters Antalya from the Isparta border. The elevations in water level are more

regular than Aksu creek. It becomes a river between November and May, carrying water at 100

m3/s and higher speeds. It generally has clear water.

Duden Creek: It originates 30 km away from the north of Antalya, flows through the underground

and surface on its way and finally falls to sea. The flow regime is regular supplemented by the

underground waters. The water level does not show much variance between summer and winter

months.

Dim Creek: It passes through the Antalya basin. It carries a large amount of water supplemented

by springs.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT FOR ANTALYA-TURKEY POWER PLANT 31

Kargı Creek: It originates from the Akdağ Mountain. It is formed from the combination of Derince

and Tasatan creeks. It has a strong flow but it almost dries out in summer months.

Alara Creek: It is supplemented from an area of 1000 km2. It carries large amount of water. The

flow rate of water does not go below 20 m3/s between December and June. It passes through

narrow passages until it flows near the flat plains near the sea.

Karpuz Creek: It forms from the combination of the Cengel Creek from the east and the

Ahmetler Creek from the north. It has a strong flow during winter but very dry in summer moths

hardly reaching to the sea.

Alağır Creek: It is formed from a few strong springs. It carries a large amount of water although it

is short. It has a weaker flow during summer unlike winter.

Boğa Creek: This creek flows from the slopes of Bey Mountains where the Antalya basin starts.

Turgut ve Cumalı creeks also flow into Boğa creek. It flows to the sea.

Buyuk Arapsuyu: It originates from the flat plains a few km away from the Boğa Creek and flows

to the sea after running for 2 km.

Kucuk Arapsuyu: It originates 2 km away from the east of Buyuk Arapsuyu and flows to the sea

after running for 1 km.

Lakes, Artificial Lakes, Reservoirs and Dams

There are no lakes of significant volume in Antalya.

Lake Soğut: It is in a cavity surrounded by the mountains on the Antalya-Burdur border at an

altitude of 1 345 m. The length of the lake is approximately 13 km extending in the east-west

direction, and 5 km in the south-north direction. It is supplemented basically by Karasu, Bozcay,

Kocapınar ve Cığlık Creeks. The surface area of the lake is 40 km2. It dries significantly in

summer months. It is covered with marshes and island of reeds. It freezes in winter months.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT FOR ANTALYA-TURKEY POWER PLANT 32

Karagol Reed: It is located a few km away from the Elmali district. The surface area of the lake is

10 km2. It is indeed looks like a large swamp and reed. It is supplemented by Koca Creek and

Cengel Spring. There are islands of reeds.

Lake Avlan: It is located in the south of Elmali district. The surface area of the lake is 10 km2. It

is supplemented by Koca Akcay river.

There are also the Oymapınar, Alakır ve Korkuteli dam lakes in Antalya.

Oymapınar Dam: It is constructed on the Manavgat Creek and it is in operation since 1980. The

dept is 185 m and the surface area of the lake is 470 ha. The storage volume is 300 million m3. It

produces 102 Million kW of electrical power per year.

Alakır Dam: It is constructed on the Alakır Creek and it is in operation since 1973. The dept is

185 m and the surface area of the lake is 49,3 ha. The storage volume is 80 million m3. It

protects an area of 1940 ha from flooding.

Korkuteli Dam: It is constructed on the Korkuteli stream and it is in operation since 1976. The

dept is 70,2 m and the surface area of the lake is 670 ha. The storage volume is 4,5 million m3. It

is used for the irrigation of an area of 5986 ha.

The springs of Antalya are listed below:

Demre Spring: It is in 5 km south of Demre. There are two springs on either side of the valley in

Cayagazi area. Their hydrous are close to each other. The one on the East slope is named

Burguc water and known as the spring by the locals. The other spring comes to surface from

three points on a plain surrounded by concrete walls. Temperature of the water is 15˚C. It is a

slightly sulfurous spring water.

Korkuteli Spring: It is at a 9 km distance from Korkuteli. It comes to surface from a number of

points. It has a brackish nature and hard to drink. Temperature of the water is 18˚C.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT FOR ANTALYA-TURKEY POWER PLANT 33

Sarisu Spring: It comes to surface at a slope a few km away from Ilıcakoy. The water is rich in

carbon dioxide with a temperature of 16,5 ˚C.

Sınat Creek Thermal Waters: It is in Ilıca village in the Gazipasa district. It is an open pool

surrounded by rocks. The pool is filled up with the stones brought by floods in winter. It is

cleared in summer and allowed for usage. Temperature of the water is 24,5 ˚C.

Surface and Groundwaters

The major factor in the formation of groundwater in Antalya is the geological formation. There is

Mediterranean Sea in the South, Beydağları of Taurus Mountains in the West, Aksu Valley in the

East, and Taurus Mountains in the North. The groundwater formations are comprised of

limestone and travertine formations.

4.1.6. Noise The area proposed for the construction of the power plant close to the Antalya Organized

Industrial district. The closest residential area is 3 km away from the plant site.

Currently, the national noise standards of 70 dBA for day and 60 dBA for night conditions given

for commercial/residential areas are not exceeded.

4.1.7. Flora and Fauna Flora According to the grid system made by Davis (flora of Turkey and the East Aegen Islands), the

project land is located in C-3 square in the South Anatolia and it is under the influence of

Mediterranean Phytogeographic Region.

The identification of the flora of the project site and its surroundings was made mainly based on

the observations at the site (Project Description Report, 2007). The flora lists were prepared

based on site observations along with considering the 10 Volumes of the reference namely, the

‘Flora Of Turkey And The East Aegean Island’. The flora lists are given in Table 11.

Fauna The identification of the fauna of the project site and its surroundings was made mainly based on

the observations at the site (Project Description Report, 2007). Data have been gathered from

the local people as well. The fauna lists were formed based on the data which was supported by

literature reviews.

The fauna lists were prepared in a format including the species of Amphibians, Reptiles, Birds

and Mammals and considering the national and international conventions in act (Bern

Convention and decisions of the Central Hunting commission). The fauna lists are given in Table

12.

There are no endangered fauna identified in the proposed project site. The project impact area

does not constitute a special living and breeding habitat for the fauna species.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT FOR ANTALYA-TURKEY POWER PLANT 44

5. POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS 5.1. Construction Phase 5.1.1. Physical and Chemical

This section of the report describes the potential environmental impacts, both negative and

positive, that are likely to result from the construction and operation of the thermal-power plant in

Antalya. The possible mitigation measures identified for the significant negative impacts are

presented in the next section of this report.

Physical and chemical impacts of power plant construction may include those on geology, soils,

topography, landforms, and meteorology, climate, air and water quality, and noise. Potential

environmental impacts on each are presented as the following:

5.1.1.1. Geology and Soils There will be no significant soil disturbances and no significant impacts on local geology since

the site will not need any preparation activities such as drilling, blasting. The whole system will

be brought to site as a compact unit requiring no heavy construction at site. There will be minor

work in the construction of the site which will cause insignificant amount of excavation soil,

construction and debris waste, which will be handled according to the Regulation on excavation

soil, construction and debris waste.

5.1.1.2.Topography and Landforms Local topography will not be altered.

5.1.1.3. Climate and Meteorology Impacts on the microclimate and meteorology of the local area will be negligible. There will be no

changes in surface albedo and no aerodynamic disturbances.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT FOR ANTALYA-TURKEY POWER PLANT 45

5.1.1.4. Air Quality Air quality emissions problems resulting from the construction activities will be limited to fugitive

windblown dust, internal combustion engines in heavy equipment and onsite power generators.

These impacts will be low and short-lived.

There will be no burning of vegetation and/or other refuse.

5.1.1.5. Noise Noise impacts may occur as a result of operation of heavy equipment, pile drivers, and onsite

power generation.

Estimated noise level outputs were obtained from equipment manufacturers and the impacts are

assessed to be insignificant since the national and World Bank standards will not be exceeded.

The article of national ‘Evaluation and Management of Environmental Noise Regulation’ (Date:

1.7.2005, and No: 25862) will be considered and complied.

5.1.1.6. Hydrology Groundwater Fresh water required by the personnel will be supplied from the wells to be dug at and/or around

the site with necessary permissions taken from the State Hydraulic Works as required by the

Groundwater Law (Date: 23.12.1960, No: 10688). The daily discharges from the well will not

have any adverse affect on the local hydrology.

The water demand is estimated based on the assumption of 75 l/cap/day consumption. The

number of workers together with possible visitors is estimated as 250 people. Hence the water

demand is calculated as:

250 x 75 lt/cap/day= 18 750 lt/day

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT FOR ANTALYA-TURKEY POWER PLANT 46

Surface Water There will be no surface water use. There will be no discharges to a receiving surface body. The

wastewater generated at the site will be treated by independent compact treatment units and the

treated wastewater will be used for irrigation.

5.1.1.7. Water Quality Water quality issues associated with power plant construction are often minor. In this particular

case, there will be no liquid or solid wastes generated from the plant which will be disposed

directly to cause any adverse affect on environment.

The amount of domestic wastewater generated by the plant’s personnel is assumed to be equal

to the estimated amount of water usage, which is approximately 20 m3/day. The wastewaters

generated at the plant will be treated with individual treatment units to give an effluent

appropriate for irrigational purposes.

Use of treated wastewater for irrigation and the possible percolation will not be a problem since

the treatment unit will ensure safe use for irrigation pursuant to the Article 28 of the Water

Pollution Control Regulation (Date: 21.12.2004, no: 25687) and the standards set out in

Technical Procedures Notification (Date: 7.1.1991, No: 20748).

Storm water will be channeled and removed through the storm drains.

5.1.1.8. Solid Waste Solid waste during the construction phase will be minimal since the system will be installed as a

whole unit. Solid wastes such as rejected components and materials, packing and shipping

materials (pallets, crates, Styrofoam®, plastics, etc.), and human garbage will be disposed

properly to sanitary landfills as required by the national Solid Waste Control Regulation (Date:

14.3.1991, No: 20814).

The amount of solid was generated by the personnel is estimated based on 1 kg/cap/day solid

waste generation assumption. Hence the generated solid waste is calculated as:

250 x 1 kg/cap/day= 250 kg/day

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT FOR ANTALYA-TURKEY POWER PLANT 47

5.1.2. Biological The presence of local flora and fauna were determined and evaluation of construction impacts

was made.

5.1.2.1. Flora and Fauna There are no endangered flora and fauna determined on the project site; therefore, construction

should have no adverse affects on endangered flora and fauna.

The plant patterns in the project site will be removed from as a result of clearance for

construction. The project site is near the industrial zone, therefore there will be no concerns for

wild life disturbance as there is no suitable habitat in terms of suitable natural flora cover and

related fauna. There are no endangered species present at the project site. There will be very

minor impacts on fauna due to the construction of the plant.

5.1.2.2. Ecosystems Impacts of construction on ecosytem will be negligible since there will be:

• No removal or interference with prey of predatory animals;

• No effluent discharges;

• No significant siltation from run-off, altering aquatic and marine flora and fauna populations and

hence population dynamics of dependent organisms;

•No noises disrupting breeding behavior or use of breeding grounds, resulting in shifts in

population dynamics; and

• No removal of predatory animals resulting in increased prey populations that exceed the

carrying capacity of the local environment.

5.1.3. Socio-economic 5.1.3.1. Demographic The construction of plant will have limited effects on the demographic conditions since the

number of workers in the construction phase will be 200 people. There will be no permanent

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT FOR ANTALYA-TURKEY POWER PLANT 48

living quarters associated with this power plant. Hence there will be no increased demand on

local infrastructure, such as utilities, housing, medical facilities, schools, water, and food.

The project will not cause any displacement of individuals whose livelihood depends on the land

that will be occupied by the Project.

The labor force for the construction of the plant will be supplied also from Antalya, which will

result in increased disposable income of plant employees.

5.1.3.2. Land Use The primary changes in land use during the construction will be basically at the plant site, which

is currently registered agricultural land. However, the project site is in the close vicinity of

Antalya Organized Industrial District and unimproved agricultural land devoid of any agricultural

plantation.

Outside the project site, change in land use will be limited to infrastructures that will be installed

to support the plant such as the road access and storm water collection system.

5.1.4. Occupational Health and Safety Health and safety impacts of the project on workers and communities in the area of influence of

the project will be reasonably managed according to the national Occupational Health and

Safety Regulation (Date:9.12.2003, No: 25311) in order to reduce the likelihood of accidents and

work-related illnesses on the job as well as accidents occurring between construction-related

equipment and local vehicles. Since the project site is near the industrial district and minimum 3

km away from the nearest residential area possible impacts on local people and pedestrians are

assumed to be negligible.

5.2. Operation Phase

Environmental impacts from the power plant operation that will be quantified and reported

include those on existing air, water, and soil quality, and the disposal of solid wastes. Long and

short-term impacts on flora, fauna, human populations, and the health and safety of workers in

the surrounding community were evaluated.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT FOR ANTALYA-TURKEY POWER PLANT 49

5.2.1. Physical and Chemical Physical and chemical impacts of thermal power plant operation typically include those on

geology, soils, topography, landforms, meteorology, climate, air and water quality, and noise.

These impacts for this particular case are estimated as follows.

5.2.1.1 Geology and Soils Soil impacts consist of negligible effects of windblown fugitive dust. Since the plant will run on

natural gas only, and the plant will be equipped with dry low NOx technology hence deposition of

sulphates, nitrates and metals from the stack plume, as adsorbed or incorporated into particles,

will cause negligible effects.

5.2.1.2. Topography and Landforms Local topography will not be altered and there will be no possible effects on landforms such as

swamps and shorelines.

5.2.1.3. Climate and Meteorology There will be no significant impact on the microclimate and meteorology of the local area caused

by changes in surface albedo and aerodynamic disturbances. There will be no significant impact

on precipitation patterns by increased availability of condensation nuclei downwind of the power

plant as there will be no particulates in the stack plume.

5.2.1.4. Air Emissions Air quality impacts during operation of a thermal power plant consist primarily of stack gases

emitted following fuel combustion. Emissions will be comprised of particulate matter (PM),

sulphur dioxide (SO2), oxides of nitrogen (NOX), carbon monoxide (CO), the greenhouse gases

(GHGs), carbon dioxide (CO2), and methane (CH4), trace amounts of various metals, and trace

amounts of organic and inorganic compounds.

The proportions and amounts of pollutants emitted depend on the fuel quality and combustion

strategy.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT FOR ANTALYA-TURKEY POWER PLANT 50

In this particular case, the plant will operate on natural gas only, which proves the advantages of

low carbon dioxide and NOx emissions, negligible release of SO2 and TSPM (Total Suspended

Particulate Matter), and no ash or other hazardous wastes.

Emission levels of SIEMENS SGT5-4000F gas turbine obtained from the manufacturer together

with the relevant limits are given in Table 14.

Air Pollution Modeling Studies

The aim of the modeling studies is to determine the effects of exhaust gases discharged by the

natural gas power plant on the air quality of Antalya region and determine the highest average

concentration values and their coordinates on monthly and annual bases.

The air pollution modeling results of SIEMENS SGT5-4000F model gas turbines are compiled in

a separate report given in Annex 2. In this report, the impacts of three pollutants of concern,

which are carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxide compounds (NOx) and hydrocarbons (HC)

have been investigated according to the meteorological and topographical data of Antalya region

and the proposed power plant parameters with the help of ISCLT 3 (Industrial Source Complex

Model - Long Term) Modeling Program. The monthly and annual maximum five average

concentrations and their coordinates are given for each pollutant in the report.

The concentration distribution results show that the highest monthly and annual average

concentration values will be lower than standards for each pollutant.

The 2 – D and 3 – D annual average concentration distribution graphs of each pollutant are

given in Figures 7 to 12, respectively.

5.2.1.5 Noise Noise sources from the plant during energy production will include the generators and turbines.

However the power house will be insulated for noise and vibration and hence it is estimated that

the workers will not be affected.

The Power Plant will be located approximately 3 km away from the nearest residential area and

the gas turbine packages are equipped with standard silencing to keep noise levels below 85

dBA at 1 meter and below 55 dBA at 154 meter. In addition, the noise insulation will ensure

compliance with the Turkish Standards and World Bank Guidelines as shown in Table 15.

5.2.1.6. Hydrology Groundwater

Groundwater will be exploited from the wells to be dug at and around the site with necessary

permissions taken from the State Hydraulic Works as required by the Groundwater Law (Date:

23.12.1960, No: 10688). Groundwater use during the operation phase will be limited to domestic

use by the personnel. The estimated total amount of water use by the personnel is calculated on

the basis of assumed per capita water consumption rate of 75 lt/cap/day. The total number of

people using freshwater is assumed as 150, of which 100 will be the staff and 50 is assumed to

be visitors.

150 x 75 l/cap/day = 11 250 L/day The water discharge rates from the wells will not affect local hydrology. Surface Water

There will be no use of surface water during the operation of the plant. All cooling operations will

be performed only with air.

5.2.1.7 Water Quality The plant will only generate domestic wastewater sourced by a number of 100 employees and

an assumed number of 50 visitors. The amount of wastewater discharges are assumed to be

equal to amount used for domestic purposes as calculated in the previous part of the study as

11 250 lt/day.

An independent wastewater treatment plant will be designed to treat the domestic wastewater

discharges. The treatment system will be designed to meet the criteria defined for Sensitive

Zones under the EU Council Directive Concerning Urban Wastewater Treatment (91/271/EEC)

considering the sensitive character of the project area. The treated wastewater will be reused for

irrigation in the project area pursuant to the Article 28 of the Water Pollution Control Regulation

(Date: 21.12.2004, no: 25687) and the standards set out in Technical Procedures Notification

(Date: 7.1.1991, No: 20748), which is in line with the policies related to rational use of water

resources.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT FOR ANTALYA-TURKEY POWER PLANT 56

Oil tanks will be isolated with concrete lining to prevent any leakage and the waste oils,

generated less than 10 m3/year, will be removed by a licensed hauler.

New storm water drains will be constructed at the site which will be used together with the

existing drains to direct storm water to the main drainage system.

There will be no cooling water discharges.

5.2.1.8. Solid Waste

The solid waste generated by the plant will be only domestic solid waste which will be properly

disposed of in sanitary landfills as required by the national Solid Waste Control Regulation

(Date: 14.3.1991, No: 20814).

The amount of solid waste generated in the operation phase is estimated based on the daily

generation rate of 1 kg/cap/day. Accordingly the amount of solid waste generation is estimated

as:

150 x 1 kg/cap/day = 150 kg/day.

5.2.2. Biological 5.2.2.1. Flora and Fauna

It is accepted that the air emissions majorly affect the land biota. Whereas the fauna specie can

move away from the discomforting sources, plants will have to respond physiologically. Pollution

damaged their tissues and may even kill them.

In the operation phase, the effects on flora will be basically from NOx emissions. NOx emissions

were found to be causing discoloration in plant leaves and then to lesions (Brown or dark Brown

spots). The loss of carotene and reduction of chlorophyll are the major responses from plant

exposed to NOx emissions. The type, severity and extend of the impact of NOx on plants vary

depending on both internal and external factors. Environmental conditions, presence of other

pollutants and the existing plant condition affect the responses of the plant to NOx exposure.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT FOR ANTALYA-TURKEY POWER PLANT 57

The results of emission estimates show that the NOx emissions will be below the limit values set

out in the Air Pollution Prevention Regulation (Date: 02.11.1986, No: 19269) and the World Bank

standards.

Accordingly, NOx emissions originating from the plant will not have any adverse effects on the

flora and fauna. Operation of the plant will supply reliable electrical energy to the users in the

region which will limit the use of operation of diesel type or other type of energy production units

i.e. diesel generators that have adverse effects on the environment. Hence the current pollution

load that arises from the use of other fossil fuels will be reduced.

There are no endangered flora and fauna on the project site to be affected from air emissions.

There will be no particulate emissions and no cooling water discharges to affect flora and fauna.

5.2.2.2. Ecosystems Impacts of operation of the plant on ecosystem will be negligible since there will be:

• No removal or interference with prey of predatory animals;

• No wastewater discharges to receiving bodies;

• Limited emission of stack gases well below the national and World bank standards;

• No significant siltation from run-off, altering aquatic and marine flora and fauna

populations and hence population dynamics of dependent organisms;

• No noises disrupting breeding behavior or use of breeding grounds, resulting in shifts in

population dynamics; and

• No removal of predatory animals resulting in increased prey populations that exceed the

carrying capacity of the local environment.

The frequent power outages experienced in Antalya caused increased use of fossil powered

generators which discharge greenhouse gasses. The operation of power plant will result in

continuous power availability, which will reduce the adverse effects of additional pollutants from

such applications.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT FOR ANTALYA-TURKEY POWER PLANT 58

5.2.3. Socio-economic Structure 5.2.3.1. Demographic

The operation of plant will have limited effects on the demographic conditions since the number

of workers in the operation phase will be around 100 people. There will be no permanent living

quarters associated with this power plant. Hence there will be no increased demand on local

infrastructure, such as utilities, housing, medical facilities, schools, water, and food.

The project will not cause any displacement of individuals whose livelihood depends on the land

that will be occupied by the Project.

The labor force for the operation of the plant will be supplied also from Antalya, which will result

in increased disposable income of plant employees.

The Antalya city has been experiencing frequent power outages in the last years due to the

insufficient power supplies. This has been a major problem in the city which heavily depends on

tourism sector. The seasonal fluctuation of population due to tourism activity could not be

compensated in terms of electricity supply.

The power plant, by itself, will be able to meet the electrical energy demand of the whole city, as

the only producer of electricity in the area. Hence it will positively impact the social economical

environment for tourism and service sectors by providing improved power availability and

reliability.

The use of clean energy i.e. natural gas will also help to improve local conditions to support the

development of tourism sector.

5.2.3.2. Land Use The plant’s site is currently unimproved agricultural land, hence the shift in land use is from

unimproved land to industrial area. Additional changes in land use may occur as a result of the

development of new industries in the area, constructed to take advantage of local, reliable, and

oftentimes cheaper electrical power.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT FOR ANTALYA-TURKEY POWER PLANT 59

There may be increased local industrial development as a result of additional power availability

and reliability in the future.

5.1.4. Occupational Health and Safety Health and safety impacts of the project on workers and communities in the area of influence of

the project will be reasonably managed according to the national Occupational Health and

Safety Regulation (Date: 9.12.2003, No: 25311) in order to reduce the likelihood of accidents

and work-related illnesses on the job as well as accidents occurring between construction-

related equipment and local vehicles. Since the project site is near the industrial district and

minimum 3 km away from the nearest residential area possible impacts on local people and

pedestrians are assumed to be negligible.

6. MITIGATION MEASURES

The purpose of impact mitigation is to look for alternative and better ways of implementing the

proposed project or associated activities so that the negative impacts are eliminated or

minimized, while benefits are enhanced. Impact mitigation requires that the full extent of the

anticipated environmental problems are understood. In view of this, this section of the EIA

presents mitigation measures resulting from the impacts identified. The mitigation measures are

presented for the construction phase and the operation phase in Table 16 and Table 17,

respectively. AKSA ENERJİ ÜRETİM A.Ş. will be responsible for all mitigation measures

presented in this report.

Dumping of any contaminating material into the environment including waste oils will be prohibited. Storage and routine handling of fuels, lubricants and other potentially contaminating substances in a weather-protected area having containment for spills. All equipment and materials required to execute a clean-up will be available on-site. The quality of well water will be monitored periodically.

Solid Waste All sorts of solid waste (of domestic type) will be collected systematically and protected-storage will be provided. Solid wastes will be disposed of to a sanitary landfill. No burning of wastes will be permitted.

Biological Flora and Fauna With the use of clean fuel i.e. natural gas and dry low NOx

technology, adverse impacts on flora and fauna will be insignificant.

Socio-economic Demographic No mitigation needed Land use No mitigation needed Occupational Health and Safety

To prevent disease and accidents, workers will undergo an environmental and safety briefing on safety, sanitation measures, and emergency rescue procedures before development begins. Adequate sanitary facilities, potable water, and garbage bins will be provided. Precautions will be taken against fire accidents and electrocution. Security of the project site will be imposed at all times.

7. ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES The purpose of the analysis of alternatives as part of the EIA process is to select the best

among all possible project options. The assessments and recommendations made by the EIA

Team are presented below:

7.1. Site 1. Land has already been identified and is free of conflict.

2. The site is well located in regard to the following:

a. Easy access.

b. Close proximity to the Antalya organized industrial district

c. Close proximity to the already existing national electric transmission lines

d. Close proximity to the already existing natural gas transmission lines

e. Has no settlements in close vicinity.

7.2. Fuel Types Natural gas has the obvious advantages over coal or diesel, of low carbon dioxide and NOx

emissions, negligible release of SO2 and TSPM (Total Suspended Particulate Matter), and no

ash or other hazardous wastes. The intended power plant should have a significant positive

impact on air quality compared to any fossil fuel burning power plant.

7.3. Technology

Alternative for gas turbines are gas motors and diesel generators.

There are no suitable hydropower sites available in the vicinity of Antalya city. Construction of

dams and reservoirs would also involve rehabilitation issues. Hence, the hydropower choice was

not pursued. The thermal power source was the only alternative left. As far as the generation

technology was considered, the project proposes to use advanced class turbines having more

than 55% thermal efficiency. This class of turbines has been in service all over the world and is

well proven.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT FOR ANTALYA-TURKEY POWER PLANT 64

7.4. The "Do Nothing" Scenario If the project would be assumed to fail to meet the required environmental conditions the

alternative would be the transfer of energy from a distant power plant via construction of energy

transmission lines, which will not be an economically and environmentally sound option.

It is therefore recommended that the project goes ahead but should take into consideration all

the suggested mitigation measures.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT FOR ANTALYA-TURKEY POWER PLANT 65

8. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN (EMP) AKSA ENERJİ ÜRETİM A.Ş. is committed to minimizing any adverse impacts that could arise

from the construction and operation of the project. To achieve this, an environmental

management plan (EMP) was formulated to manage impacts, to adopt the best available proven

control technologies and procedures, to ensure a continuing process of review and positive

action in the light of available monitoring results, and to consult with local communities on a

continued basis. An environmental and safety officer will be hired to oversee implementation of

the EMP, the environmental monitoring program, and compliance with ECC conditions. The

officer will closely coordinate with the plant general manager, the management staff, and the

monitoring team.

The EMP will aim to achieve an exemplary environmental performance during construction and

operation. To meet this goal, the following activities, measures and programs will be

implemented in AKSA ENERJİ ÜRETİM A.Ş.: (i) environmental policy; (ii) application of all

mitigation and management measures; (iii) an environmental monitoring program; (iv) an

emergency and contingency plan (v) an institutional plan (vi) an environmental and safety

officer.

Environmental monitoring is an important component of the EMP. It provides the information for

periodic review and refinement modification of the EMP as necessary, ensuring that

environmental protection is optimized at all project phases. Through monitoring, unwanted

environmental impacts are detected early and remedied effectively. It will also validate the

impacts predicted in the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and the effectiveness of the

proposed mitigation measures. Lastly, it will also demonstrate compliance with national and

World Bank regulatory requirements.

A comprehensive monitoring program for the plant complex has been developed, covering the

measurement of relevant environmental indicators. At the plant, it will involve noise, safety

concerns, site drainage, solid waste and wastewater disposal, groundwater abstraction, and

structural integrity of the tanks and buildings. The results of the monitoring program, which will

be implemented by the Monitoring Team (MT) to be created for the project, will be used to

optimize plant operations and adjust to management practices.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT FOR ANTALYA-TURKEY POWER PLANT 66

The monitoring of required parameters to check the environmental impacts, frequency of their

measurement, recording and reporting to related national authorities will be carried out strictly as

required by the related national regulations. The legal framework to be complied for

environmental monitoring is provided in Table 18.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Plant Description

The plant is designed to generate electricity power as a base-loaded plant.

The power plant will be installed at the industrial zone of Antalya. It is going to be based on two units of 283 MW SIEMENS SGT5-4000F gas turbine packages as simple cycle during the first phase. No liquid fuel system is being considered for the project. The operation is going to be only on natural gas fuel.

Natural gas simple cycle ISO base load conditions are given in Table 1.

Table 1. ISO Base Load Conditions of Simple Cycle for Natural Gas

Turbine Inlet Temperature 15 oC Ambient Pressure (Sea Level) 1.013 bar Relative Humidity of the Air 60 % Load Level 100 % Turbine Rotor Speed 3000 min-1 Design Pressure Loss Exhaust Gas System 9 mbar

Generator Power Factor 0.85 Lower Heating Value 50035 kJ/kg Fuel Mass Flow 13.9 kg/s Emission Control dry

Two SGT5-4000F gas turbine units include dry low NOx technology to control NOx emissions.

Dry low NOx technology utilizes lean premix combustion in conjunction with a pilot zone. The intense mixing and overall lean conditions result in lower flame temperatures and minimal NOx generation. The conventional diffusion-flame zone is used to meet the operational requirements of the gas turbine: ignition, fuel staging sequence through the engine load range and flame stability.

SIEMENS Gas Turbine System has a standardized base design and base scope of supply which is aimed in this project. Although this base design could meet project and site specific conditions, it can also be improved to meet increased operational flexibility. Heat recovery applications including, re-powering, combined cycle and cogeneration in a wide range of environments and requirements.

This system also offers part-load and fast start-up capabilities.

In the choice of specific systems, options are available for fuels used, emissions reduction, power output enhancement, efficiency enhancement, generator type, air intake system, exhaust gas system and noise abatement.

AIR POLLUTION MODEL DESCRIPTION

BREEZE AIR ISCLT 3 was used to assess the impacts of the emissions on the

ambient air quality.

The software is a Windows based program for the development of EPA long

term industrial source complex (ISCLT 3) model. The software is capable of

analyzing the emissions of up to 1000 point, area, volume and open pit sources

which may be grouped. Receptor grids as well as discrete receptor can be

defined to assess the air quality in a particular urban location. Concentrations

can be calculated for all terrain elevations up to stack height and for receptors

above ground elevations. It requires meteorological data in a frequency

distribution of wind speed, stability class and wind direction (star data).

Star data was prepared from the long term monthly average climate data

published by the Turkish Meteorology Office. The stability classes have been

calculated by considering the rules in AQPR and EPA regulatory options.

Topography was investigated and relevant file was prepared by reading

elevations on a 1/25.000 chart in 250 m distances for a grid of 5 km by 5 km.

The locations of the emission sources are indicated in the same grid file.
