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: PA 06737/07
Location: Site at Telestar Farm, Triq Valletta, Ħal Luqa.
Proposal: Extension of existing industrial garages covered by PA 6290/03 by increasing the number of units from 22 to 41 and proposed parking space
The following potential environmental impacts were identified and mitigation measures proposed in the Project Description Statement (PDS) submitted to MEPA on the 7th May 2012 and updated on 3rd December 2012 and the justification for proposal from carrying out an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) submitted on 14th February, 2013.
Potential ImpactRemarks on mitigation measures, etc.
Waste generationThe project will generate waste during both construction and operation. Inert waste generated during the construction phase is not considered to be significant. During operation, the industrial activities on site are not expected to generate significant amounts of municipal waste. Any hazardous waste will be temporarily stored in appropriate containers by the specific unit operators. Any waste generated will follow a solid waste management strategy and can be sufficiently mitigated through an environmental registration covering the entire complex.
Impact on air quality During construction, fugitive dust from site clearance and excavation, and Nitrogen Oxide (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, depending on the activies carried out within each industrial garage, emissions may be generated. The proposal is not expected to generate a considerable amount of traffic during operation. Other impacts generated from each industrial garage can be sufficiently mitigated through proper design, adequate waste management and measures which could be managed through environmental registration.
Noise and vibrationsNoise and vibration during construction are expected to be limited to those typically associated with normal construction site activities. During operation, noise and vibrations are not expected to be substantial. Furthermore, any impacts can be mitigated sufficiently through measures which could be managed by means of an environmental registration.
Water Quality The site falls within an Aquifer Protection Zone and approximately 150 metres from a Water Catchment Area. The project may further increase the risk of contamination of water through the potential release of contaminated waters, leaks and spillages into the surrounding environment and particularly into the nearby valley. Therefore, appropriate design and operational measures should ensure that there are no risks of land or water contaminationfrom releases of pollutants onto the ground, surface waters (including runoff into the valley) and groundwater.
Impact on cultural Although the site is in the vicinity of an already developed zone, there is a possibility of
heritagearchaeological remains being uncovered. Thus consultation with the Superintendence of Cultural Heritage (SCH) is required especially regarding monitoring of on-site works.
Light pollutionLight emissions during night time will not present any particular impact over and above the current baseline situation given that the proposed facility will utilise existing common premises. Furthermore, any potential impacts may be reduced with the use of down-lighters and minimisation of nocturnal lighting.
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.
