Abstract: | EIA report has been prepared to assess the environmental and social impacts of
constructing 300 housing units at Hulhumalé of Kaafu Atoll. This project will be implemented
by Noomadi Resort & Residences Anstalt for Maldives Police Services.
The land areas identified for the housing project has no major tree and hence there will be
no tree clearing as part of the project.
The project is part of the Government commitment to provide affordable housing to people
of the Maldives. The project aims to build 300 housing units which can accommodate 300 families
of Maldives Police Service.
All activities of the project will be closely monitored by site supervisors to be identified by Noomadi
Resort & Residences Anstalt. This is mainly to avoid any environment
and social issues. A close relationship and open communication need to be
established to avoid any future disagreements and social issues during execution of the project
work with the Hulhumalé community.
The most significant impacts of the project will be resulting from the construction waste
that would be generated as part of the project. As a mitigation measures, construction waste
would be managed in accordance with the waste management guidelines issued by
Environmental Protection Agency. The construction waste generated at the island would be
collected and temporarily stored at designated area. The collected waste then will be
transported to Thilafushi for final disposal.
This report will highlight major findings and predicted impacts of the proposed housing
project. The report is developed in consultation with project proponent and in accordance
with Environmental Impact Assessment Regulation.
An environmental management plan with environmental monitoring has been developed including
the most important elements that require regular checks. This monitoring component need to adhered
to and would allow to assess the changes due to the implementation of the project.
Although the project involves inevitable negative environmental impacts, such impacts are predicted
to be not severe as to not undertake the project in accordance with the master plan. The project is
justifiable in light of the socio-economic conditions and anticipated benefits resulting from the
project, which seem to outweigh the negative environmental impacts. |
