ENVIRONMENT AND RESOURCES AUTHORITY

Notification of Exemption from Environmental Planning Statement
In conformity with Regulation 3(8) of the Environmental Impact Assessment Regulations, 2007 (S.L. 549.46) with respect to the application mentioned hereunder, the Environment and Resources Authority has determined that the proposal is unlikely to result in environmental impacts that can be effectively addressed in an Environmental Impact Assessment.  Therefore, the Director of Environment and Resourses agrees that the proposal does not require the preparation of an Environmental Planning Statement (EPS).  This is without prejudice to the environmental obligations being specified in the proposed project conditions.
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 the Environment and Resources Authority has all the necessary information to determine the application, as concluded in the project screening according to Schedule IB of the same Regulations.
A detailed justification is presented below:
Reference Number:  PA 03605/16 (EA 00032/16)
Location:   Site at Triq Il-Pitiross, Gudja,     Malta  
Proposal: Proposed additional floor to old people’s home approved by PA 02854/09
The following potential environmental impacts were identified and mitigation measures proposed in the Project Description Statement (PDS) and the justification for exemption from carrying out an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) were submitted to the Environment and Resources Authority on the 24th March, 2017 and 1st June, 2017, respectively.
Notwithstanding the above, the Environment and Resources Authority reserves the right to request the applicant to submit additional information as may be necessary to inform the decision making process. 
Potential Impact
Remarks on mitigation measures, etc.
Air quality, noise
and vibrations
The amount of air emissions, noise and vibrations generated during construction are not expected to be significant given the proposal seeks to add one additional floor. Good construction practices in accordance with the Environmental Management Construction Site Regulations, 2007 (S.L. 552.09) will be implemented to mitigate any likely impacts. During operations, the impacts are not likely to be significant.
Waste management
No significant impacts are envisaged when considering that the proposal seeks to add one additional floor, and that any possible impacts during construction may be sufficiently mitigated through the provisions laid down in the Environmental Management Construction Site Regulations, 2007 (S.L. 552.09). Municipal and hazardous waste will be generated during operation, but this can be absorbed through the existing national waste management mechanisms.
Visual amenity
The inclusion of one additional floor on the existing old people’s home is not expected to be significant given the scale and location of the proposal.
