The Environment and Resources Authority has stopped a contractor carrying out works at Mgarr ix-Xini for the second time in a week.
In a statement on Sunday, the ERA said that the works had been stopped on Thursday following reports of silt seepage into the sea.
It said that after inspections carried out by ERA officials, it transpired that the works had been ongoing without the necessary silt curtain being deployed.
The works carried out, it said, “did not comply with the conditions imposed by ERA through a Nature Permit which specified that an ecological monitor should be present on site.”
Nonetheless, The ERA said, that the contractor recommenced works and was stopped once again by its officials on Saturday.
The ERA concluded by saying that it warned the contractor that “works cannot proceed until a full silt curtain is deployed which is to be adequately sealed at the edges and imposed the presence of the ecological monitor on-site.”

Is it just the Crane – or is the name on it also the contractor ?
What exactly are they doing at Mgarr ix-Xini? It’s one of the most beautiful places on ther island so what are they being allowed to do there?
Yes please tell us what they are doing there. Give us a design of proposed project, who ordered it and what for?
Sorry .
I have no clue.
I think the will extend the Jetty for more boats.

But – not so bad like the tunnel and the 31 floor house planning on Malta.
Hope someone of your people can stop this madness!?
