Malta ENVIRONMENT AND PLANNING AUTHORITY

Notification of Exemption ofEnvironmental Planning Statement
In conformity with Regulation 3(8) of theEnvironmental Impact Assessment Regulations (Legal Notice 114 of 2007), and inview of the fact that MEPA has determined that the proposal is unlikely to havesignificant environmental impacts, the Director of Environment Protectionagrees that the proposal does not require the preparation of an EnvironmentalPlanning Statement (EPS). 
TheProject Description Statement (PDS) presented as part of the application hasconsidered the environmental issues in a sufficient manner such that thepreparation of an EPS would not add any new information and MEPA has all thenecessary information to determine the application. From the informationpresented in the PDS and screening according to Schedule IB of the sameRegulations, the proposal is not likely to have significant environmentaleffects.
A detailed justification is presented below:
Reference Number: PA 01174/09 (EA 00012/15)
Location:              Siteat, Triq Valletta, Tax-Xatba l-Ħamra, Mqabba
Proposal:              Demolitionof existing building, partial excavation of site, reconstruction of two levelsof warehouses in an existing quarry site and football grounds with ancillaryfacilities and landscaping at ground floor level.
Thefollowing potential environmental impacts were identified and mitigationmeasures proposed in the Project Description Statement (PDS) submitted to MEPAon the 26th February, 2015, and the justification for proposal from carryingout an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) submitted on the 23rd June, 2015.
Notwithstandingthe above, the Malta Environmental and Planning Authority reserves the right torequest the applicant to submit additional information as may be necessary todetermine the application.
Potential Impacts
Remarks on mitigation measures, etc.
Impact on water resources
Potential spillages during the construction phase can be mitigated through the proper application of appropriate mitigation measures identified in the Environmental Management Construction Site Regulations, 2007, combined with other standard permit safeguards for industrial developments. Recommendations made through the submission of a Construction Management Plan (CMP) are also to be followed.
No significant impacts are expected during the operational phase given the nature of the proposed development.  A combination of standard design-based and operational measures should be sufficient to ensure that there are no risks of contamination of water from releases of pollutants.  The proposal shall also include a planned water management system, which incorporates a rainwater reservoir designed to collect runoff from the industrial warehousing site
Impacts from waste generation
The PDS estimates that during the construction phase, the proposal will be producing approximately 30,000 cubic metres of excavation waste.  Other construction-related waste to be generated by the proposal includes: concrete, bricks, tiles, ceramics, wood, glass, plastic, iron, steel and other construction and demolition waste. During operation, waste generation will be minimal and characterised by municipal solid waste, generated by offices and the kitchenette.
No significant impacts are envisaged during both the construction and operational phase given the nature and scale of the proposal. Furthermore, the management of waste is subject to the provisions laid out in the Waste Management Regulations (Legal Notice 184 of 2011, as amended).
