MALTA TREASURY BILLS ACT
CAP. 133
Notice of Issuance Calendar
The following calendar shows the tenor of individual weekly issues of Treasury bills for the month of April 2014 and is published by the Accountant General in terms of regulation 5 of the Malta Treasury Bills (Dematerialisation) Regulations, 2007 of Legal Notice No. 59 of 2007:
No. 307
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 153032
Location:Triq il-Madonna tad-Dawl, Ħal Kirkop
Proposal:Construction of warehouses
Potential ImpactsRemarks on mitigation measures, etc.
Waste generation: The 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 given that that there are no particular sensitive receptors in the area of influence of the development and 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. The mainstream development permitting process also affords the possibility of restricting the development on site to a limited range of use classes (or specific uses) should this be deemed necessary.
Noise and vibrations: Noise 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 a Groundwater Protection Zone. The project may further increase the risk of contamination of water through the potential release of contaminated waters into the underlying aquifer. Therefore, appropriate design and operational measures should ensure that there are no risks of land or water contamination from releases of pollutants.
Impact on extensive quarrying cultural heritage: Although the site and its entire surrounding area has been subjected toactivity, there is a possibility of archaeological remains being uncovered. Thus consultation with the Superintendence of Cultural Heritage (SCH) is required especially regarding monitoring of on-site works.
Light pollutionDuring night time, light emissions above the current baseline situation are expected. Nevertheless, these may be reduced through the use of down-lighters and minimisation of nocturnal lighting.
