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:DN 01048/13/EA 00014/14
Location:Safi Aviation Park, Limits of Malta International Airport, Safi
Proposal:Construction of maintenance, repair and operations facility consisting of three hangars, aprons and access way including ancillary works
The following potential environmental impacts were identified and mitigation measures proposed in the Project Description Statement (PDS) submitted to MEPA on the 27th May 2014 and the justification for proposal from carrying out an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) submitted on 2nd June 2014.
Potential ImpactsRemarks on mitigation measures, etc.
Waste generation The project will generate waste during construction and operation.Inert waste during construction is not considered significant given the limited excavation required and the re-utilisation of such material as back-filling in the access route.Solid waste during operations is not considered significant as long as all solid waste is managed in accordance to legislation. Additional precautions may be recommended via the environmental permit mechanism, should this be required.
Impact on air qualityDuring construction, emissions are not considered to be significant in relation to the nature and magnitude of the project and the site’s context.Dust emissions during construction are temporary and can be sufficiently mitigated through the application of measures identified in the Environmental Management Construction Site Regulations (Legal Notice 295 of 2007).
The proposal is unlikely to generate considerable amount of traffic during operation. The project proponent outlined that the project will not release pollutants or hazardous wastes, however additional precautions may be recommended via the environmental permit mechanism, should this be required.
Noise and vibrationsThe project will be a source of noise and vibration during the construction phase. During operation, the project is not likely to generate noise and vibration or release light, heat, energy or electromagnetic radiation.No significant impacts are envisaged, over and above those already currently being generated in the area given the nature and location of the proposal.
Impact on cultural heritageWithin the project site, there is a military (Nissen) hut and adjacent structure, however the impact is not considered to be significant as long as the structures are retained, restored and reused.Some archaeological features (tombs) were discovered within the Safi Aviation Park and around the site.Given the site’s history, context and recent archaeological findings, such impacts are unclear and therefore consultation with the Superintendence for Cultural Heritage is being recommended.
Notwithstanding the above, the Malta Environmental and Planning Authority reserves the right to request the applicant to submit additional information as may be necessary.
