Environmental impact assessment the road development project at ADH. Mahibadhoo
(2015-10) Water Solutions
This report discusses the findings of a social and environmental impact study undertaken by Water Solutions Pvt. Ltd. at the request of Maldives Road Development Cooperation. This EIA report covers road development project at Mahibadhoo, Alifu Dhaalu Atoll. This project would undertake total length of the roads that would be 2.9 km. Mahibadhoo is one of the islands in a group of islands that government has selected to undertake the road project implemented by Ministry of Housing and Infrastructure. Road Development project is implemented at islands where there is a huge demand for residential and commercial land. The proposed project would help to improve the living condition of the island and facilitate the focus island development at the selected island. Environmental and socioeconomic impacts of the project were assessed. The road developed and associated work with the project would have significant impacts on the island of Mahibadhoo. The impacts of the project result mainly from vegetation removal and excavation of the harbour basin to borrow the backfill material to level the road surface and levelling work carried out at the roads. The impact of the excavation activities would be of sedimentation. This impact is considered to be minor and short-term. The implementation of the project and paving the road surface would have socio-economic benefits to the central region of the Maldives. The socio-economic benefit outweighs the negative impacts of the project on the physical environment of the Mahibadhoo. Mitigation measures for these anticipated impacts have been identified and outlined in detail, including sedimentation and stagnation control methods and measures for minimizing negative effects of generation of waste. These mitigation measures will have to be followed in order to minimize environmental damage. The details of the project have been established based on the landuse plan that had been developed for Mahibadhoo. Alternative designs and technologies have been investigated for the different components of the project. However, the present project design seems to be a feasible option in terms of costs, durability and safety. An environmental management plan with environmental monitoring has been developed including the most important elements that require regular checks. This monitoring component need to adhere to and would allow assessing the changes due to the road development 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 landuse plan developed for the island. 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.

Environmental impact assessment for the Hulhumalé second phase reclamation & development of a harbour quay wall at Hulhumalé
(2013-01) Water Solutions
This report discusses the findings of a social and environmental impact study (EIA) undertaken by Water Solutions Pvt. Ltd. at the request of Housing Development Coorperation (HDC). This EIA report covers two projects; reclamation and coastal protection of Hulhumalé phase 2 and development of a harbour quay wall at Hulhumalé. The reclamation and coastal protection of Hulhumalé phase 2 is the first step to develop Hulhumalé 2 in accordance with the Hulhumalé development master plan. This project would reclaim 244 hectres of land at Hulhumalé lagoon and undertake coastal protection. The two million cubic meters of the fill materials for the reclamation would be borrowed using Trailing Suction Hopper Dredger from borrow sites identified by EPA. The harbour quay wall project at Hulhumalé would be implemented on southern side by developing a 100 m quay wall. A harbour basin would be dredged to -3 m at MSL and the excavated material would be used as a back fill of the quay wall which will be constructed using concrete L blocks. Hulhumale development project was initiated by the government to address the issue ofchronic congestion in Malé. The phase 1 of the project commenced in October 1997 and the reclamation was completed in 2001. Under phase 1 of the project 188 ha was reclaimed that would serve an estimated target population of 60,000. With the completion of existing housing infrastructure, the land available for residential development is very limited. Hence HDC is proposing to undertake the Hulhumalé second phase reclamation to facilitate the development project needs be undertaken to meet the residential demand. The harbour quay wall project is to facilitate a safe mooring area at Hulhumale for the vessels to load and unload cargo. Environmental and socioeconomic impacts of both components of the project were assessed. The reclamation of the shallow lagoon, reef flat, creation of an entrance channel would have irreversible impacts on the Hulhumalé reef. The impacts of the project result mainly from dredging and reclamation work. The impact of both activities would be of sedimentation. This impact is considered to be minor and short-term. During dredging and reclamation activity, impact of sedimentation on inhabited islands, resorts and diving sites are a concern that needs to address. The reclamation and coastal protection of Hulhumaé phase 2 and harbour quay wall project would have socio-economic benefits to the greater Malé region. The socio-economic benefit outweigh the negative impacts of the project on the physical environment of the Hulhumalé especially allowing more land to further expand the urban centre development of Hulhumalé. Mitigation measures for these anticipated impacts have been identified and outlined in detail, including sedimentation and stagnation control methods and measures for minimizing negative effects of generation of waste. These mitigation measures will have to be followed in order to minimize environmental damage. The details of the project have been established based on the Hulhumalé master plan. Alternative locations and alternative designs have been investigated for the different components of the project. However, the present project design seems to be feasible option in terms of costs, durability and safety. 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 reclamation of additional land at Hulhumalé lagoon. 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.
