Abstract: | This EMP will identify key aspects of environmental management of the proposed Sewage
Treatment Plant to be installed at Maayaafushi Tourist Resort, Alif Alif atoll with emphasis
on how to manage environmental impacts and take necessary measures to minimize any
impacts that may arise during the construction phase and operational phase of the project. The
report will further provide a monitoring plan which can be implemented during and after
completion of the proposed development works.
The EMP was compiled based on qualitative and quantitative data collected from
Maayaafushi during the site inspections and assessments carried out on 4th of June 2014. It
has to be noted, the limitation on collecting and compiling the data on a very short period due
to logistical and other issues such as unavailability of long-term base line data has made the
consultants to restrict the management plan on data collected recently from the field, personal
judgments and experiences gained from similar projects. Similarly, long term data on some
aspects such as meteorology and climate were collected from secondary sources through
previously published reports.
This EMP report has been compiled in accordance with EIA Regulations 2012, which is
enforced by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of the Maldives. It was initially believed that the proposed project would involve the installation of an outfall
for the disposal of treated sewage including an emergency outfall as required by EPA.
However, during the scoping meeting the Proponent identified that there would be no
additional discharge pipeline but the existing pipeline would be used. Therefore, it was
decided by EPA during the Scoping Meeting that this project does not require an EIA and an
Environmental Management Plan would suffice.
This EMP is prepared in accordance with the guidelines given in the EIA Regulations of the
Maldives. The principal environmental institution that implements the EIA process in the
country is the Environmental Protection Agency. Additionally, the Ministry of Environment
and Energy provides policy guidance and directions while Atoll Councils and Island Councils
also provide approvals before projects are implemented. |
