SECTION VI INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS In this Section, it will be given information on the measures to be taken and monitoring related institutional responsibility and procedures, their connections with environmental management, environmental data flow, and decision making hierarchy regarding environmental management and be talked about how and in what way the tracing data would be used to assure a reliable environmental performance. The measures to be taken and institutional responsibility and procedures and their connections with environmental management: The Monitoring Plan that has been developed for the purpose of being capable to check the performance conditions of the principals and procedures, which is specified in the Preventions Plans Section II that covers the precautions are to be taken in order to be able to demote possible negative effects, which are originated from the activities to be executed during planning / designing, construction, and operation phases of the Project of Kapıdağ Wind Power Plant Project that has been planned by the KAPIDAĞ RÜZGAR ENERJİSİ SANTRALİ ÜRETİM SANAYİ VE TİC A.Ş. to minimum. The mentioned plans, at the same time comprise of said institution and organizations as well. Legal Matters In order to constitute and apply a well running environmental management plan, the principals apply to monitoring data has to be specified perfectly. Within this scope, it is adhered to the aspects being designated in the published national regulations and communiqués. In Turkey, on environment management, the provisions of the communiqué of competency, that was published in the Official Gazette dated 08.08.2008 and numbered 26961 is taken as basis. Information Flow for KAPIDAĞ WIND POWER PROJECT : The environmental data flow being composed for the scheduled Project of Kapıdağ Wind Power Plant Project, which has been planned by the KAPIDAĞ RÜZGAR ENERJİSİ SANTRALİ ÜRETİM SANAYİ VE TİC A.Ş. has been constituted by adhering to the principals specified in the said regulations and communiqués and they are introduced as the construction phase and operation phase in the Figure 2 and Figure 3 respectively. 26

SECTION VII PUBLIC CONSULTATION The presentation of information meeting related with Carbon certificate Gold certificate that has been organized on date 08.10.2010 by company at Erdek teacher s lodge has been made by the officials of GAIA Carbonfinance Ltd. Before the mentioned meeting all the stakeholders such as NGOs local authorities and the people from vicinity have been informed accordingly. The aim of that meeting was to give information regarding the renewable energy sources(especially wind power plants), to give information regarding the proposed to get feedbacks and to satisfy stakeholders comments/concerns if any. Such kind of meetings are being so beneficial to create environmental awareness for the region. Moreover those meetings are important for the participant itself since the concerns are taken into account for both construction and operation phases of the. There are some concerns regarding the birds and location of the ( which may be regarded as natural park) in the meeting. After the meeting a detailed ornithology report has been prepared to an expert (which is submitted separately) in order to assess the possible negative impacts on birds and determine the mitigation measures if any. Minutes of Meeting At the meeting that has contained information about approximately 100 persons has participated including Erdek district governor Ismail Kaygısız, Erdek Mayor Huseyin Aysan, Ali Isık Headman of Narlı village, nongovernmental organizations and the community of the region. The information of presence of 4316 plant types, the definition of region a region with protection priority ; the company to commence the investment upon obtaining all legal permits, the environment will be imposed minimum damage from the environment and social point of view, the company have purchased property on the area by consent and in relation with expropriation activities the EPDK(Energy Market Regulatory Authority) process is being traced has been obtained. It has been learnt that the previously mentioned 41 each turbines in has been revised as 19 (and now concluded as17). It has been stated that the 2 bird types (Colombia Livia and Falco Pregrinus) that have been brought into agenda by European investment bank are not present in region. It has been stated that in case of the facility s commission of facility; it will establish 74.000 tons C0 2 emission decrease. The officials of company has stated for the purpose of decreasing the worry of the community they would be able to make visit organization at the RES location that has been made at Manyas. 28

Questions and Answers: The questions and the answers given to these questions raised by the participants during the meeting can be summarized as follows: Q1: How many turbines will be there within the borders of Narlı village? A1: ( Mrs Sevinc) All of the 19 turbines included in are remained in the borders of Narlı. Q2: Will road pass from our gardens, land?( I think this question is related with whether or not there will be any damage). A2: ( Mrs Sevinc): This is not the only of AKSA. We have 5 more power plants. Until this time the arrangements have been made to impose minimum damage. The damages caused have been compensated. If we should cause any damage this will be definitely compensated. Q3: Will there be noise in the vicinity of turbines? A3: With respect to noise the border value that has been foreseen by ministry will not be exceeded. The necessary studies related with this have been made. In addition with the old technologies the noise was becoming a problem but the turbines that we use in here belong to Vestas company of Denmark which is one of the best of the world and they use the state of the art technology. In our present power plants there is not any noise problem. Erdek Mayor Huseyin Aysan has obtained promise and has made interpretation related with. He has stated that AKSA is a big company and however it is mandatory to comply with the rules of EPDK(Energy Market Regulatory Authority) and other related institutions. By stating that the aim of this meeting is to inform, to make conscious of community and has concluded that in case of encountering any problem related with they will make the necessary objection as Erdek community. However, he has stated that he is not expecting to encounter any problem and it is necessary to support such a beautiful at this phase. He has pointed out the importance of constructing such clean technologies instead of having contaminated technologies, nuclear power plants in the region. Mrs Sevinc of AKSA has stated that that they were for definitely not to have any problem and they will strive their best to prevent this. At this time one of the participants in relation with noise problem has stated that an acquaintance of his under the name of Abdullah Suteri living in Germany has called him and has stated that they do not suffer any noise problems although there was a wind farm located in their vicinity. Q4: Is this being made to meet the consumption of region or otherwise is it being constructed to meet the need of the industrial facilities being planned to be installed in the future? Has any survey been made related with the energy consumption of region? Why energy power plants in excess of the region s need are being constructed? Or otherwise are the investments are being shifted in here?. 29

A4:( Mrs Sevinc ) We are selling the generated energy to Turkish grid. It is not a matter of question to sell to region. ( Mr Gurkan ) The main thing being made in here is filing of the pool that is meeting the total demand of Turkey. The power plant is being installed the location that we find the wind. The aim is not to increase the energy supply because in the future the demand will increase in here. Q5: (Ali Isık Headman of Narlı village) What is the space to be covered with this? A5: ( Mrs Sevinc )-By showing the site on map) We are taking place over those two hills. I do not know how many km 2 area we cover. However, we will not use all of the land. In addition, we do not take place in any person s property. Q6: Kapıdag is a mountainous land. There are forests in here. As a result of this animals can be harmed due to radiation, electromagnetic field and noise type of reasons. Why do you use an emptier area? A6: ( Mrs Sevinc )We have wind farm located at Samlı/Manyas. The animals can pasture around turbines. We never had any problem related with this. In addition, we have applied to EPDK by making the necessary measurements. The wind in here was perfect. We have obtained our license in this way. For this reason we cannot change this area. On the other hand the countries like Germany, Denmark that has improved the wind energy very well are the countries with intensive agricultural activities. In those countries there are very many wind farms. This does not cause any problem. We can only have a few amount of electromagnetic impact on our energy transmission lines. This will be very few with respect to the impact of present transformer stations. Q7: No power plant can be installed at every place that wind is good. This area is national park land. As far as I know in England the wind farms had been canceled in as they were located within national park area. A 7: ( Mrs Sevinc) In the area that we are present there is not any sit area or national park. 30
