No. 1270
MALTA ENVIRONMENT AND PLANNING AUTHORITY
Notification of Exemption of Environmental Planning Statement
In conformity with Regulation 3(8) of the Environmental Impact Assessment Regulations (Legal Notice 114 of 2007), and in view of the fact that MEPA has determined that the proposal is unlikely to have significant environmental impacts, the Director of Environment Protection agrees that the proposal does not require the preparation of an Environmental Planning Statement (EPS).
The Project Description Statement (PDS) presented as part of the application has considered the environmental issues in a sufficient manner such that the preparation of an EPS would not add any new information and MEPA has all the necessary information to determine the application. From the information presented in the PDS and screening according to Schedule IB of the same Regulations, the proposal is not likely to have significant environmental effects.
A detailed justification is presented below:
Reference Number: TRK. 144863
Location: Site at Triq il-Biċċerija c/w Triq it-Taflija, Xewkija, Gozo
Proposal: To remove garages approved in PA 7952/06, install a stone/marble cutting machine with overlying roof and gantry and carry out additions and alterations
The following potential environmental impacts were identified and mitigation measures proposed in the Project Description Statement (PDS) submitted to MEPA on the 15th October, 2012 and the justification for proposal from carrying out an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) submitted on 15th November, 2012.
Notwithstanding the above, the Malta Environmental and Planning Authority reserves the right to request the applicant to submit additional information as may be necessary to determine the application.
Potential Impact | Remarks on mitigation measures, etc. |
Waste generation | The project will generate waste during both construction and operation. Inert waste generated during the construction phase is likely to be minimal. During operation, the waste will include: (i) gravel, broken slabs and chips; (ii) slurry and sludge, (iii) plastic and wood (iv) municipal waste from the office, and (v) sewage and grey water (from the toilets and showers). Some wastes, namely the marble chips and slurry will be reutilised in the production of concrete bricks and also manufacturing of a particular nature of tile products. Other waste generated can be addressed through an operational permit. No hazardous material/waste will be generated during both construction and operation. |
Impact on air quality | During construction, fugitive dust from site clearance and excavation, and NOx emissions from construction vehicles are expected. However, no significant impact is envisaged as long as the Environmental Management Construction Site Regulations (Legal Notice 295 of 2007) are adhered to. During operation, dust will be generated during the marble cutting process and from operational traffic. Dust generation during the marble cutting can be sufficiently abated through proper plant design (wet medium cutting process and machines located under cover), adequate waste management and other measures which could be managed through an operational permit. |
Noise and vibrations | Noise and vibration during construction are expected to be limited to those typically associated with normal construction site activities. During operations, noise and vibration are expected from the jaw crusher and various other machines for the production of marble. However, these will not present any particular impact over and above the currently existing situation in the surrounding area. Furthermore, such impact can be mitigated sufficiently through proper plant design and through measures which could be managed by means of an operational permit. |
Impact on cultural | Although the site is already committed for such use and lies within an heritage industrial area, there is a possibility of archaeological remains being uncovered and thus consultation with the Superintendence of Cultural Heritage (SCH) is required especially regarding monitoring of works. |
Light pollution | Light emissions above the current baseline situation are expected during night time.. Nevertheless, these may be reduced with the use of down-lighters and minimisation of nocturnal lighting. |
Visual Impact | The site is surrounded by an industrial area and is partly surrounded by high walls. Some structures will be visible from the road running along the southern perimeter wall and therefore landscaping is being proposed along this perimeter. |
