Abstract: | The proposed project involves construction of jetty connecting existing detached honeymoon
bungalows at the southern side of Vaadhoo to the island. Coastal development structure such as
jetties are required to submit an environmental impact assessment report as specified in the EIA
regulation of Maldives that came effective in 2007. A scoping meeting to agree on the terms of
reference was held at EPA on 21st April 2011. Based on the description of project components at
the scoping meeting it was agreed among the stakeholders that a full EIA would not be required
for the project. This was based on the small scale of the project (addition to an existing facility)
and also its related impacts based on the environmental setting and location of the project. It was
decided that an Initial Environmental Evaluation would be sufficient.
This Initial Environmental Evaluation (IEE) report thus fulfils the requirements specified in the
Terms of Reference (ToR) prepared for this project as output of the scoping meeting held at EPA
between EIA consultant, proponent, representatives from EPA and other relevant stakeholders. In
preparing the report consideration has been given to cover the environmental requirements that
need to be covered by EIA regulations giving due consideration to the scale, location and usage of
the project and its outputs. The Terms of Reference to the project was approved by EPA on 11th
May 2011. A copy of the ToR for this project is given in Appendix 1.
This IEE was based on the fieldwork visit by the consultant to K. Vaadhoo Resort in May 2011 to
collect site specific information on the project and qualitatively assess the environmental
components that would be affected from the implementation of the project. |
