Notification ofExemption from
EnvironmentalPlanning Statement
In conformity with Regulation3(8) of the Environmental Impact Assessment Regulations (S.L. 504.79) withrespect to the application mentioned hereunder and in view of the fact that theEnvironment and Resources Authority has determined that the proposal isunlikely to have significant environmental impacts, the Director agrees thatthe proposal does not require the preparation of an Environmental PlanningStatement (EPS).
The Project Description Statement (PDS)presented as part of the application has considered the environmental issues ina sufficient manner such that the preparation of an EPS would not add any newinformation and the Environment and Resources Authority has all the necessaryinformation to determine the application. From the information presented in thePDS and screening according to Schedule IB of the same Regulations, theproposal is not likely to have significant environmental effects.
A detailed justification is presented below:
Reference Number: PA04241/08
Location: Quarry No.81, Triq ta’ Wied Ħanżir, Siġġiewi
Proposal: Updatedproposal: Proposed restoration of quarry in phases including extension of samequarry.
Reference Number: PA04242/08
Location: Quarry No. 71, Triq għal GħarĦanżir, Siġġiewi
Proposal: UpdatedProposal: Proposed restoration of quarry in phases including extension of samequarry.
The followingpotential environmental impacts were identified and mitigation measuresproposed in the Project Description Statement (PDS) submitted to theEnvironment and Resources Authority on the 27th January, 2016 and thejustification for the exemption from carrying out an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) submitted on 15th March,2016.
Notwithstanding the above, the Environment and Resources Authorityreserves the right to request the applicant to submit additional information asmay be necessary to determine the application.
Potential Impacts | Remarks on mitigation measures, etc. |
Air quality, including dust | Practical measures shall be undertaken to mitigate dust dispersion, and standard mitigation measures will be implemented to limit any impacts, for example the keeping of exposed areas to a minimum; controlling or limiting vehicle speeds; vegetating stockpiles of material that will be left undisturbed for extended periods of time; limiting the height of stockpiles; keeping road and yard surfaces damp with water carts or fixed sprinklers when required. |
Waste | No significant impacts are envisaged since the project itself offers a solution to inert waste management. |
Water Quality | 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 groundwater. This aspect will be enforced through the environmental permitting mechanism. |
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 (S.L. 504.83) shall further minimise any impacts. |
