SOFIA, PLOVDIV AND VARNA TO PREPARE NOISE MAPS IN A MONTH'S TIME

Fri, Nov 23 2007 19:34 CET bySpasena Baramova 44 Views

Environment and Water Affairs Minister Djevdet Chakurov gave Sofia, Plovdiv and Varna mayors 1-month's time to prepare noise maps, Environment and Water Affairs ministry announced on November 23.

As required by the Law of Protection from Noise in Environment for settlements with over 250 000 inhabitants, these maps should have been ready by September 30 2007, mediapool.bg said. The documents should show the noisiest places in these cities and should be presented to Health and Environment and Water Affairs Ministers, so that measures to solve the problems could be taken.

The maps, however, were still not ready and therefore the mayors of the three biggest Bulgarian cities had been given orders to speed up their preparation, mediapool.bg said.

Some time ago Sofia Municipality became aware that they were being slow to prepare the strategic noise map and decided to speed up the work.

The deadline for preparation of the maps for all other settlements, railways and other objects was 2012, mediapool.bg said.
