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 02398/09
Location: Site at Ix-Xagħri l-Imqalleb, Mqabba.
Proposal: To infill quarry with inert construction waste, provide topsoil, convert quarry to agricultural use and proposed restoration of existing structures
The following potential environmental impacts were and mitigation measures proposed in the Project Description Statement (PDS) submitted to MEPA on the 6th December 2012 and the justification for proposal from carrying out an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) submitted on 1st March 2013.
Potential ImpactRemarks on mitigation measures, etc.
DustAll practical measures will be taken to reduce dust emissions. Soil deposition should avoid the dry season, rainy and windy days. Standard permit safeguards will also be adopted.
Noise and vibrationsThe proposed works will be located within a quarry, thus significant noise and vibrations are not envisaged. Noise abatement measures in accordance with the Construction Site Management Regulations, 2007 shall further minimise these impacts.
Water contaminationAn environmental permit will be required to ensure that only inert waste is used for infilling the quarry, thus avoiding risks of water contamination.
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.
