Abstract: | This Environmental Impact Assessment report (short: EIA) focuses on significant
environmental issues arising from the addition of plunge pools to 21 existing villas –
both on land and over water - on K. Baros Maldives. The developer Universal
Enterprises Pvt. Ltd. - a pioneering, private and 100% Maldivian company - plans to
invest 446,000.00 USD into this project.
This report contains findings, conclusions and recommends actions supported by
summaries of data collected and citations for any references used in interpreting those
data. The EIA is oganized according to, but not necessary limited by, the outline
given in the Environmental Impact Assessment Regulations 2012.
Special attention in this report is given to the impact on the marine environment due
to the placement of concrete footings, on which the plunge pools will be placed. Ten
footings will be placed per over-water pool. The pools will be filled with freshwater
from the resort’s desalination plants and filtered with a sand-filter. Site clearance for
over-water pools involves the transplantation of living corals, which coverage is poor
in the area. On the island, only native shrubs have to be re-planted. De-watering is not
required for plunge pools on the island due to the depth of the water table. A strict
monitoring programme will ensure that the impact on the marine environment will be
kept as low as possible.
The time frame given for submitting this EIA report is 3 months from the date of
ToR |
