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:PA 05849/09
Location:Zahra Trading & Importers, Triq is-Siġġiewi, Mqabba, Malta
Proposal:To sanction building of electrical sub station, garages, offices, stock bays and relocation of bituminous storage tanks and other alterations.
The following potential environmental impacts were identified and mitigation measures proposed in the Project Description Statement (PDS) submitted to MEPA on the 20th September 2013 and updated on 11th April 2013 and the justification for proposal from carrying out an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) submitted on 27th June, 2013.

Remarks on mitigation measures, etc.
Ground water pollution - Proposal lies within a quarry and is directly located on the groundwater gallery of Ta’ Kandja and surface runoff (Mqabba Heading).Therefore, proposal is located within a high risk area for groundwater pollution.In this regard, the Malta Resources Authority have requested the submission of a certified Risk Assessment Report identifying potential threats and mitigation measures to groundwater pollution.
Waste generation - The amount of solid waste likely to be generated by the project during construction and operation is not likely to be significant considering the nature of the project. Operational waste will be managed through an environmental permit.
Impact on air quality - During construction, fugitive dust from site clearance and excavation, and Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) emissions from construction vehicles are likely to be generated. However, no significant impact is envisaged as long as the Environmental Management Construction Site Regulations (Legal Notice 295 of 2007) are adhered to. During operation, dust will be generated from the batching plant and from operational traffic. Dust generation during concrete production can be sufficiently abated through proper plant design (for example, indoor facilities, dust filters, regular sweeping, water spray and a wheel wash facility at the entrance/exit of the site), adequate waste management and other measures which could be managed through an operational permit. Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) from operational traffic is not expected to be significant.
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 will be generated by the batching plant, however given its location (below street level), the generated noise is mitigated and will not affect areas outside the site boundary. Furthermore, such impact can be mitigated sufficiently through proper plant design and through measures which could be managed by means of an operational permit.
Light pollution - Light emissions during night time is not likely to be significant over the current baseline situation. Furthermore, any potential impacts may be reduced with the use of down-lighters and minimisation of nocturnal lighting.
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.
