Notification of Exemptionfrom
Environmental PlanningStatement
Inconformity with Regulation 3(8) of the Environmental Impact AssessmentRegulations (S.L. 504.79) with respect to the application mentioned hereunderand in view of the fact that the Environment and Resources Authority hasdetermined that the proposal is unlikely to have significant environmentalimpacts, the Director agrees that the proposal does not require the preparationof an Environmental Planning Statement (EPS).
The Project DescriptionStatement (PDS) presented as part of the application has considered theenvironmental issues in a sufficient manner such that the preparation of an EPSwould not add any new information and the Environment and Resources Authorityhas all the necessary information to determine the application. From theinformation presented in the PDS and screening according to Schedule IB of thesame Regulations, the proposal is not likely to have significant environmentaleffects.
A detailed justification ispresented below:
ReferenceNumber: TRK162735
Location:Malta Freeport Terminals, Terminal 1, Triq Kalafrana, Birżebbuġa
Proposal:To remove existing container block-stow and demolish existing slab; proposedconstruction of service station for refuelling of terminal equipment.
Thefollowing potential environmental impacts were identified and mitigationmeasures proposed in the Project Description Statement (PDS) submitted to theEnvironment and Resources Authority on the 19th January, 2016 and thejustification for the exemption from carrying out an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) submitted on 23rd February,2016.
Notwithstanding the above,the Environment and Resources Authorityreserves the right to request the applicant to submit additional information asmay be necessary to determine the application.
Potential Impacts | Remarks on mitigation measures, etc. |
Air Quality | In consideration and understanding of the existing surrounding land uses, noting that the closest development zone is located within 1km of the site and that the proposed project is ancillary to the existing Freeport operations, significant effects on the air quality of the area, in terms of additional fumes and/or vapour emissions generated is not expected.Nevertheless, the operators are required to update the relevant environmental permit EP0033/09/F, and further details are being requested with regard to the operational design of the proposed project. |
Visual Impact | The proposed project is located within the confines of the existing Malta Freeport Terminal Ltd. which is dominated with the heights of the existing crane structures.In this regard, no significant visual impacts from the proposed project are envisaged. |
Waste Management | The amounts of solid wastes likely to be produced by the project during construction of the project are not likely to be significant noting the location and scope of the proposal and the nature of the existing surrounding land uses.The quantities and nature of the waste produced are likely to be manageable through established waste management procedures and facilities. |
Noise | The proposed project is located within the confines of the existing Malta Freeport Terminal Ltd. grounds.The construction and operation requirements of the project are thus not likely to give rise to significant noise impacts in consideration of the existing baseline. |

Location:L-Arka ta’ Noe, Triq Il-Muża, Siġġiewi
Proposal:Sanctioning of existing l-Arka ta’ Noe therapeutic zoo
The following potentialenvironmental impacts were identified and mitigation measures proposed in theProject Description Statement (PDS) submitted to the Environment and ResourcesAuthority on the 10th November, 2015 and the justification for the exemptionfrom carrying out an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) submitted on 1stFebruary, 2016.
Notwithstanding the above,the Environment and Resources Authorityreserves the right to request the applicant to submit additional information asmay be necessary to determine the application.
Potential Impacts | Remarks on mitigation measures, etc. |
Rural Land Take Up | The ad hoc commitment of rural land to such development without due consideration of other related environmental implications which may encourage continued sprawl of required ancillary infrastructure in the immediate surroundings, is not recommended. The principle of such development is required to be discussed further through the mainstream development mechanism. |
Waste Management and Air Quality | The design, location and layout of the proposed premises should encourage low emissions during operation, allowing for adequate ventilation, whereas the daily handling of animal waste should seek to avoid the stockpiling of animal waste and excessive generation of odours.These waste management and mitigation measures should be managed through an environmental permit.Due to the nature of the operations, waste management should be addressed directly through the mainstream development permitting and environmental permitting processes, whereby it is noted that operational wastes are to be managed in accordance with the provisions of Schedule I Activity 42 of the Waste Management Activity (Registration) Regulations (S.L. 504.78). |
Noise | The construction requirements of the project were not likely to give rise to significant noise impacts.The operational phase of the project is not likely to be associated with significant noise emissions in consideration of the number and nature of animals bred on site, the expected number of employees and visitors. |
