2nd Consortium meeting WP3 progress Preliminary evaluation of received information 4-5 February, Split
decreasing environmental and social impacts of quarrying and improving reclamation, reducing illegal quarrying, and increasing recycling, which will decrease the use of primary aggregates WP-3: Extraction and Demolition Site Level ActivitiesObjectives
3.1: Best practices edition of manuals/guides/toolboxes towards aggregates sustainability 3.2:Illegal quarrying good communication, capacity building and stakeholder consultation to achieve social license to operate 3.3: Recycling re-use of quarry and demolition wastes. 3.4: Outreach/Communication Stakeholders’ handbook WP3 Activities
Geographical location of model sites TERSTENIK-HR FUSHE KRUJE-AL >20 model sites in 7 countries

Activity 3.4 work progress (F. Chalkiopoulou) Preliminary evaluation of SQ referred to 3.1 & 3.2, and of SQ+R referred to 3.3 WP3 Split Agenda
To address the WP3 objectives the following tools were elaborated and used: Questionnaires based on an aggregates oriented version of the RMI framework and the Extractive Industries Value Chaindocument Templates to obtain model sites information to be used in the data base, the reports and manuals, and the quarry life cycle studies Methodology approach
The strategic and regulatory context affects the aggregates permissions for new quarries and for extensions of existing operations, as part of the land use planning taken place. The appraisal of the legal framework on aggregates from the point of view and perspective of the regional and local level decision making administration (Governmental Mineral Bureau, Regional Mine Inspectorate, Land Use Planners etc), the aggregates producers and other potential stakeholders. The expectations that “Critical views” on legislative issues may become Best Practice tools optimizing the efficiency and sustaining then resource supply and life cycle of aggregates quarrying. Why policy concerned Questionnaires
SARMa Questionnaire (SQ) Turn administrative and legislative decision making into driving force for environmentally friendly aggregates extraction practices and increased legal quarrying SARMa Questionnaire for Recycling (SQ+R) Promote and carry out the specific LCA targeted studies – has to be improved Two Questionnaires
Model sites evaluation and assessment to elaborate Best Practice indicators with respect to planning, design, operation and post-closure phases of legal and illegal aggregates quarrying, and recycled wastes at site level, using, SARMa DataBase (SDB); to create and establish an aggregate quarries GIS database model compliant to interoperability and standardization rules of INSPIRE Baseline Study Reports (BSR); to review the current state of the model site quarries, and identify and recommend Best Practice guidelines towards sustainable aggregates SDB will be slightly modified and additional questions may be asked Two Templates
7 of 9 SDB, and 4 of 8 BSR received Missing: Fruska gora - SR (probably replaced by Kovilovaca quarry for which the SDB form was completed and sent recently but the BSR is still missing), Iacobdeal, Luminita-Tasaul – RO (change of sites underway), Terstenik - HR. Please pay attention! The BSR template is a proposed contextual structure for a full report and not a set of questions to be answered. Statistics of A3.1- Best Practices
4 SDB of 5, and 4 BSR of 5 received Missing: Terstenik – HR. Statistics of A3.3 – Recycling 7 of 11 BSR 7 of 11 SDB Missing both BSR and SDB: Nerviano, Legnano - IT, Moldova Noua, Deva –RO. 8 of 10 SQ+R Missing from Italy (?) and Romania Statistics of A3.2 – Illegal mining
Received 7 of 11 BSR 7 of 11 SDB Missing both BSR and SDB: Nerviano, Legnano - IT, Moldova Noua, Deva –RO. 8 of 10 SQ+R Missing from Italy and Romania Statistics of A3.3 – Recycling
Received 11 of 15 SQ From Greece: Ministry in charge, 2 Regions, 2 Prefectures. Missing: Hungary, Bosnia, Croatia, Albania Additional documentation on legal issues was submitted by Serbia (4 environmental laws), Albania (mining law and prospecting permit), Austria (mineral policy, mineral plan, federal waste plan, guidelines for recycled building materials).
