DEAR SIRS, As a result of the examination made in the registers of the National Institute of Monuments of Culture with regards to immovable monuments of culture, it was found that on the land of the town of Suvorovo there are concentrated a large number of archaeological monuments. There is a real possibility 10 of these monuments (settlements from various historical ages, mounds and settlement hills) to fall within the borders of the territory designated for the implementation of the investment proposal. With regards to the above stated, we think it is of vital necessity to be carried out a preliminary inspection of the terrains which shall be affected during the development of the planed engineering technical infrastructure and the enforcement and expansion of the existing roads, with the purpose to avoid possible damage of archaeological monuments of culture. The possibility unknown to the present moment architectural monuments to exist on the lines specified, requires strict observance of the provisions of Article 18 from the Monuments of Culture and Museums Act (promulgated in State Gazette issue 29/1969) during the implementation of the investment proposal. For this purpose it is necessary the Investor to coordinate its activities with the Archaeological museum, city of Varna. DIRECTOR: [sign. ill.] ARCHITECT G.

The main purpose of such research shall be to establish the level of dangerousness from collision of these birds with the facilities before such facilities are installed on the research site; (5) In compliance with the Assignment on determining the scope and the contents of Environmental Impact Assessment of investment proposal for construction of wind farm town of Suvorovo of the Regional Environmental and Water Inspectorate, town of Varna. Presently the Bulgarian Society for Protection of Birds is conducting such basic research in the region of the town of Suvorovo.

52 The recent researches in the region of Konaka area, located north west from the town of Suvorovo and within range of 500 m from the observation point in all directions, to 1 km in South West and North East direction from the point, as well as all birds observed North and South from the observation point, not depending on the distance to 2 km from the point, show that in this region there is a possibility for construction of wind farm. We can provide information from the interim report upon demand and the GPS coordinates of the point where the research has been conducted from. Till July 30 th 2006 we shall provide the final report and analysis of the risk level for the respective region, subject to ongoing ornithological researches.

This opinion was submitted upon request No. 223 dated filed by Eolica Bulgaria AD Sofia with regards to the construction of wind farm on the land territory of the town of Suvorovo. The location of the wind park is shown on the map (enclosed to the request) in scale 1:70000 and further clarified according to the coordinates of some of the wind turbines. The engineering and geological surveys done till the present moment on the landfall processes in Varna district, the visual observations, the investigations and the surveys conducted in the region on the condition of the terrains where the wind farm shall be located with regard to landfalls, lead to the following conclusions and recommendations: 1. In the region where the find farm shall be built were not registered any local active landfalls and there are no information on such landfalls taken place in the past. With regards to the plain character of the terrain, the occurrence of landfalls is only possible along and near the steep hills. 2. Taking into account the considerable area of the wind farm and special features of the geological and lithological structure in the region, we recommend the conditions for founding of each wing turbines to be determined after specific engineering geological survey. 3. The construction should be in compliance with the seismic activity in the region VII degree according to Medvedev Karnik Shponhoer scale, with seismic coefficient PREPARED BY: [sign. ill.] Eng. G. J.
