MALTA ENVIRONMENTAND PLANNING AUTHORITY
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 143775
Location: Site at Triq Ħal Farruġ, Ħal Luqa
Proposal: To demolish a disused bus shelter and turn area into a recreation park, including picnic areas, play areas with adequate play equipment, create an overhead footpath, jogging and cycle track, create parking spaces and build public amenities to cater for the people using the park.
The following potential environmental impacts were identified and mitigation measures proposed in the Project Description Statement (PDS) submitted to MEPA on the 24th April 2012 and the justification for proposal from carrying out an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) submitted on 3rd August 2012.
Waste generation
Since the nature of the project seeks to establish a recreational area with minimal intervention, it is unlikely that the project will involve large quantities of solid waste. The project is likely to generate small, easily manageable quantities of inert waste and municipal waste.
Impact on air quality, noise and vibration
Noise, vibrations and impacts on air quality are expected, mostly during the constructionnoise and vibration phase, however these are likely to be minimal and of a temporary nature. Standard mitigation measures during construction should be enforced in accordance with the Environmental Management Construction Site Regulations(LegalNotice295 of 2007).
During operation, the project will entail an increase in visitor numbers, which would possibly lead to increased noise levels, however this is still expected to be negligible.
Light pollution
During night time, lighting along pathways and recreational areas is envisaged. Nevertheless, light emissions may be reduced with the use of down-lighters, or by minimisation of lighting.
Visual impact
The visual impact of the development can be further mitigated through suitable landscaping that screens the development on all fronts. Both the species and the planting layouts used should reflect the surrounding environmental characteristics for improved blending into the landscape.
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.

MALTA ENVIRONMENT AND PLANNING AUTHORITY
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).

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 05852/09
Location: Site at Tas-Sejba Recycling Plant,
Triq Tas-Sejba, Mqabba
Proposal: To construct building waste recycling plant in disused quarry.
The following potential environmental impacts were identified and mitigation measures proposed in the Project Description Statement(PDS) submitted to MEPA on the 8th January 2012 and the justification for proposal from carrying out an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) submitted on 17th July 2012.
Waste generation
The amount of solid waste likely to be produced by the project during construction and operation of the project are not likely to be significant considering the nature of the project.Operational waste will be managed through an operational permit.
Noise, vibrations and impact on air quality
Noise and vibrations during construction are of atemporary impact on nature, and no significant impacts
are envisaged given the already-existing industrial nature of the site and the relatively few sensitive receptors in the immediate vicinity.
During operation, the PDS indicates that noise impacts will be minimal since the site is enclosed within a quarry and is surrounded by other quarries. Dust, noise and vibration emissions shall be monitored through appropriate conditions in the development permit and environmental permit.
Groundwater pollution and surface runoff
No significant impacts are envisaged, and the proper management ofpotential pollutants (e.g. oils) in accordance with statutory procedures is expected to be sufficient to minimise effects on the environment and on groundwater. This aspect will be enforced through the development permitting and operational permitting mechanisms.
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.
