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:TRK. 152294/EA 00010/14
Location:Sundown Yard, Units 1 To 15, Wied Il-Għasel, Triq Burmarrad, St.Paul’s Bay.
Proposal:Comprehensive development plan - sub division of areas into units for the following uses: Class 11 - business and light industry, Class 12 - general industry, Class 17 - storage/warehousing, distribution and parking of heavy vehicles/coaches, Class 19 - boatyards, and the sanctioning of boat yard.
The following potential environmental impacts were identified and mitigation measures proposed in the Project Description Statement (PDS) submitted to MEPA on the 18 March 2014 and the justification for proposal from carrying out an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) submitted on 8th June 2014.
Potential ImpactsRemarks on mitigation measures, etc.
Waste generation : No significant impacts are envisaged during the construction phase given that this is likely to be limited to the inert waste generated by the excavation for the rainwater reservoirs. These impacts can be sufficiently mitigated through the application of mitigation measures identified in the Environmental Management Construction Site Regulations (Legal Notice 295 of 2007, as amended).
During operations, waste generated from the industrial operations is to be managed in accordance with the appropriate Waste Management Regulations, distinguishing between hazardous waste and non-hazardous waste.Any waste to be recycled is to be stored separately and transported from the site for recycling purposes.In this regard, no significant impacts are envisaged during the operational phase.
Impact on water: Potential spillages during the construction phase can be mitigated through the proper application of appropriate mitigation measures identified in the Environmental Management Construction Site Regulations (Legal Notice 295 of 2007), combined with other relatively standard permit safeguards for industrial developments. Applicant is to follow the recommendations provided through a detailed Construction Management Plan (CMP).
During operation, a combination of standard design-based and operational measures should be sufficient to ensure that there are no risks of contamination of land or water from releases of pollutants. It is envisaged that such measures will be duly factored directly into the mainstream development permitting and environmental 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.
No. 676
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 No. 114 of 2007) in respect of the application mentioned hereunder, 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 to exempt the applicant from preparing 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, the proposal is not likely to have significant environmental effects.
A detailed justification is presented below:
Reference Number:TK 154618 (EA 00011/14)
Location:Ex Quarry 48, Triq it-Torri Vincenti, Mqabba, Malta
Proposal:Reactivation of quarry operations (ex quarry no. 48 only partially exhausted) and deposit inert material (ex quarry no. 38).
The following potential environmental impacts were identified and mitigation measures proposed in the Project Description Statement (PDS) submitted to MEPA on the 26th March 2014 and the justification for proposal from carrying out an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) submitted on 12th June, 2014.
Potential ImpactRemarks on mitigation measures
Dust: Practical measures, including planned placement of soil mounds, shall be undertaken to mitigate dust dispersion. Standard mitigation measures will be implemented to limit any impacts on the neighbouring residential area.
Noise and vibration: The proposed works will be located within an area recognisant of quarry activity, and thus significant noise and vibrations are not envisaged. Noise abatement measures in accordance with the Environmental Management Construction Site Regulations, 2007 (L.N. 295 of 2007) shall further minimize any impacts, and this with special regard to the neighbouring residential area.
Water contamination: An environmental permit will be required to ensure that only inert waste is used for quarry infilling, thus avoiding risks of water contamination.Otherwise, no significant impacts are envisaged, and the proper management of potential 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 environmental permitting mechanism.
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.
