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 02656/14
Location:Site at Tal-Wej, Naxxar
Proposal:Laying of 450mm diameter water main
The following potential environmental impacts were identified and mitigation measures proposed in the Project Description Statement (PDS) submitted to MEPA on the 2nd February, 2015, and the justification for proposal from carrying out an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) submitted on 6th March, 2015.
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.
Potential Impacts
Remarks on mitigation measures, etc.
Impact on ecologyand
cultural heritage
The pipeline was rerouted along the western flank of the land falling within an area of ecological importance (Level 2).The pipe is sought to be laid slightly at soil level running along the length of the rubble walls. Works are required to be sensitive to the rubble wall, noting the cultural value of parts of the same wall. In this regard, impacts on ecology and cultural heritage are not likely to be significant.
Waste generation
The amount of solid waste likely to be generated during the construction phase is not likely to be significant considering the nature of the project.
Air quality, noise and
vibration impacts
During construction, emissions are not expected to be significant.Noise, vibrations, and dust-related impacts during construction, are temporary and can be mitigated through the application of mitigation measures identified in the Environmental Management Construction Site Regulations (Legal Notice 295 of 2007, as amended).
