Environmental Implication Assessment - 220 kV Austria - Italy Interconnection - Resia - Venosta – Glorenza Section - Specialistic Environmental Studies
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The interconnection project between Austria and Italy involves the construction of a new power line of 220 kV simple triad, between the main electrical transformer 380/220 kV at Nauders (A) located near the Reschen’s pass and the existing power station 220/132 kV transformation at Glorenza (I). In the aerial connection “SE Venosta - Glorenza SE” two variant sections are falling in the municipality of Curon Venosta and Malles, having a length of 660 and 1525 m respectively.
PROJECT CHARACTERISTICS
Since the elaboration of the Feasibility Study has been possible to define the framework of track options from both a technical and environmental - landscape point of view.
A specific geological study allowed to have a documented picture of the main geological, geomorphological and hydrogeological features of the area under examination.
Analysis of the project has been developed within an incidence study examined during the Screening Phase: SIC Jaggl and SIC Biotopo Steppe Tartscher Leiter. Concerning the SIC Biotopo Steppe Tartscher Leiter, object of and Appropriate Evaluation Phase, the potential impact has been examinated, compared to habitats and species of Community interest present, especially bird species, which may be affected due to the risk of collision with overhead conductors. In the study appropriate measures were proposed for the containment of possible impacts in order to ensure the conservation of natural habitats and the dynamics of populations of wildlife species present.
Through the drafting of the Landscaping report that also considered the specific landscape regional regulations, the effects on the landscape of the new work were evaluated.
This assessment was accompanied by analytical cartography of intervisibility and visual conditions, as well as photo simulations that made it possible to assess the correct insertion of the new elements of the project in the landscape.
The extensive archaeological survey along the areas affected by the crossing of the new route allowed, together with a thorough literature research , to process the cartography of archaeological evidences and the archaeological relative and absolute risk assessments .
