Item Environmental impact assessment note for R.Kinolhas harbor construction project, Kinolhas, Maalhosmadulu Uthuruburi, Maldives(Ministry of Construction and Public Infrastructure (MCPI), 2008-02) Naeem, Ibrahim; އިބްރާހިމް ނަޢީމްThis impact note deals with the construction of a harbor at Kinolhas in Raa Atoll. 1. The implementing agency for this project is Ministry of Construction and Public Infrastructure (MCPI). The project will be executed under the Access Improvement Program of the government. The project was awarded to Aima Construction Private Limited, Maldives. 2. The proposed site for the project on the northern side of the Island appears to be the most appropriate location for the harbor development taking into account environment, construction feasibility and economics of the proposed development. There is apparently a justifiable need to sacrifice a portion of beach (land with no vegetation) from the Island to make the mouth of the entrance channel safe, the keep the harbor basin calm and to prolong the life the breakwaters. 3. Baseline environmental conditions at the project site indicated that the coral cover around the harbor basin area was very low. The coastal vegetation around the proposed harbor area was mainly kaani, boakashikeyo, uni and dhiggaa, and does not represent any specific preservation value. 4. Significant environmental impacts are predicted for the proposed development project. But these are short term impacts (e.g. sedimentation). These impacts can be mitigated through proposed environmental impact mitigation measures.Item Environmental impact assessment report HA.

Olhuvelifushi harbor construction project : Olhuvelifushi, Faadhippolhu, Maldives(Ministry of Construction and Public Infrastructure, 2008-01) Naeem, IbrahimThis impact note deals with the construction of a harbor at Olhuvelifushi in Lhaviyani Atoll. 1. The implementing agency for this project is Ministry of Construction and Public Infrastructure (MCPI). The project will be executed under the Access Improvement Program of the Government. The project was awarded to Maldives Transport and Contracting Company (MTCC) Plc. Ltd., Maldives. 2. The proposed site for the project on the northwestern side of the Island appears to be the most appropriate location for the harbor development taking into account environment, construction feasibility and economics of the proposed development. 3. Baseline environmental conditions at the project site indicated that the coral cover around the harbor basin area was very low. The coastal vegetation around the proposed harbor area was mainly thanburu and mirihi, and does not represent any specific preservation value. A very large area was observed to be bare. 4. Significant environmental impacts are predicted for the proposed development project. But these are short term impacts (e.g. sedimentation). These impacts can be mitigated through proposed environmental impact mitigation measures.Item Environmental Impact assessment notes for H. DH. Finey harbor construction project : Finey, thiladhunmathee dekunu-buri, Maldives(Ministry of Construction and Public Infra Structure, Maldives, 2008-01-21) Naeem, Ibrahim; އިބްރާހިމް ނަޢީމް1 Summary This impact note deals with the construction of a harbor at Finey in Haa-Dhaalu Atoll. 1. The implementing agency for this project is Ministry of Construction and Public Infrastructure (MCPI). The project will be executed under the Access Improvement Program of the government. The project was awarded to Maldives Transport and Contracting Company Limited (MTCC). 2. The proposed site for the project on the eastern side of the Island appears to be the most appropriate location for the harbor development taking into account environment, construction feasibility and economics of the proposed development. There is apparently a justifiable need to sacrifice a portion of beach (with no vegetation) from the Island to make the mouth of the entrance channel safe, to keep the harbor basin calm and to prolong the life the breakwaters. 3. Baseline environmental condition at the project site indicated that the coral cover around the harbor basin area was very low. The coastal vegetation around the proposed harbor area was also typical and does not represent any specific preservation value. 4. Significant environmental impacts are predicted for the proposed development project. But these are short term impacts (e.g. sedimentation). These impacts can be mitigated through proposed environmental impact mitigation measures.Item Environmental impact assessment for the proposed harbour development at Dhangethi, Alifu Dhaalu Atoll, Maldives(Water Solution, Maldives, 2008-04) Aleem, Abdul; Jameel, Ahmed; Zahid, Ahmed; Naeem, IbrahimNon Technical Summary This report discusses the findings of a social and environmental impact study undertaken by Water Solutions Pvt. Ltd. at the request of the Ministry of Construction and Public Infrastructure. The project involves the development of a new harbour in Dhagethi, Aalifu Dhaalu Atoll. This project is initiated by the government of Maldives as part of the Access Programme implemented by the MCPI. The environment of Dhangethi may be described as properly managed,with several environmental achievements including appropriate solid waste management, development of a sewerage system with nearshore outfalls to some degree, modest housing with ventilation, appropriate level of urban planning, beach and recreational areas for the residents and visitors including tourists visiting the islands from neighboring resorts. Stakeholder consultations were held with various groups, including the community and the client in order to incorporate the socio‐economic components in the project. It was observed that the community of Dhangethi is independent and people are ready to make a difference by community involvement, participation and empowerment that has achieved through the economic prosperity that have achieved through tourism in the region. Environmental impacts were assessed for both the construction and operation phase of the project. Most of the environmental impacts of theproject have been identified as resulting mainly from excavation and disposal of excavated materials. The main impact of dredging would be that of excessive sedimentation on the nearby reef areas. This impact is considered to be a moderate but short term impact. Development of the harbour would have irreversible impact and its location would have a long term impact. The socio‐economic benefits of the project may be considered to outweigh the negative impacts of the project on the physical environment of the island as the island is located on a strategic location in the middle of high density of resorts. Mitigation measures for these anticipated impacts have been identified and outlined in detail, including sedimentation control methods and other measures. These mitigation measures will have to be followed in order to minimize environmental damage. The proposed harbour details for Dhangethi has been prepared after considering the needs and requirements from the community by assessing and incorporating the outcomes from the extensive community consultations held during the data collection stage. It is inevitable that there would be negative environmental impacts, especially when excavation is undertaken. Nevertheless, these negative impacts are not severe to the extent that the project should not be allowed to take place. As a result, a monitoring component has been suggested which takes in to consideration, the most important elements that require regular checks. This monitoring component will be adheredto and will allow the assessment of changes due to construction of harbour. Monitoring is specifically focussed on water quality changes. Therefore, it appears justified from a technical and from an environmental point of view, to carry out the proposed project in light of the existing socioeconomic developments and forecasts made on the harbour use and traffic increase.
