Environmental Impact Assessment

An environmental consultant is needed when a proposed development is


required to comply with the Environmental Quality Act (EQA) 1974 where
an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) needed to be carried out prior
to any earthwork construction. Any construction activities only can be
started after an approval on EIA is granted by DOE.
Any legal approval in letter form from governmental department is
needed to support the particular development such as PAT form,
Geotechnical

Approval

and

EQ = Environmental Quality

In order to study changes in the environment surrounding the


construction

site,

environmental

monitoring

prior

the

construction

activities on air, water, and noise should be carried out. For construction
activities that involve blasting, vibration monitoring needed to be carried
out. Environmental monitoring should be carried out every month in order
to detect incompliance towards standards.
The Recommended Malaysian Air Quality Guidelines shown in
Appendix B1 is the example of ambient air quality standard that is
applicable in Malaysia. The respective air quality standards may be applied
to evaluate impacts to the environment due to pollutants emitted into the
atmosphere.
The Interim National Water Quality Standards (Appendix B2) have
been recommended to be adopted for Malaysian inland waters, which
includes rivers and other freshwater bodies. These ambient standards are
aimed at ensuring that water resources are maintained at levels of quality
that are required to meet the needs of various beneficial uses, including
water supply, recreational, fisheries, irrigation and natural conservation.
6

The Environmental Quality (Sewage) Regulations 2009 provides for


control of sewage discharges into inland and Malaysian waters. Treated
sewage effluent has to meet discharge standards, which are classified as
Standard A or Standard B for discharges released upstream or downstream
of specified water supply intakes respectively according to Appendix B3.
Moreover, the Planning Guidelines for Environmental Noise Limits
and Control published by DOE is shown in Appendix B4. These guidelines
present noise acceptance criteria upon which a quantitative assessment of
noise could be made. This eliminates subjective judgments of parties
involved, ambiguity in defining a disturbance, and places the assessment
of noise source on a measurement basis.
Once EIA report is submitted to DOE, a One Stop Agency Meeting
will be call up upon the related parties who involved in the development
project within two weeks from the date of submission. If the developer is
absent for the meeting, EIA for the related project will automatically be
rejected. An addendum will be constructed where any correction or
additional information discussed during the meeting will be amended.

Environmental Management Plan

Environmental monitoring system is a system that combines the processes


of obtaining, assembling, synthesizing and reporting repeated and
systematic

measurements

or

observations

of

environmental

characteristics.
Environmental monitoring plays a major role in everyday lives where
the way human manages limited resources closely related to the
environment. Environmental Monitoring Compliance Report (EMCR) is to
document the key challenges associated with environmental monitoring, to
describe the active federal monitoring systems and to highlight good
monitoring practices in other jurisdictions. In addition, EMCR serves as a
basis for future audits of monitoring systems and an indicator of
compliance towards environmental legislation.
Monitoring is essential for making well-informed decisions about the
environment and how it affects the residents. Monitoring parameters
including air quality (TSP, SO 2, CO, NO2, PM10, etc); Noise quality for 24 hrs
(Day: 10am-7pm; Night: 7pm-10am); Vibration and Water quality.
Environmental Monitoring and Assessment discusses technical
developments and data arising from environmental monitoring and
assessment,

and

the

use

of

monitoring

data

in

assessing

the

consequences of natural resource management and pollution risks.


Environmental consultants need to be critical in analysing the trend
of environmental changes according to parameters. Any incompliance
need to notify towards the project developer and DOE. The cause of
incompliance are required to be identified and abatement measures need
to be adopted immediately in order to reduce the negative impact. Project
developer need to adopt any mitigation measures designed in EIA prior
development activities.
Figure 3.5 shows that sample cover of EMCR report involved
throughout this internship.

3.3

Social Survey for land reclamation project

The conduct of social survey is essential in environmental impact


assessment (EIA) as it act as a tool for public involvement, in a sense of
collecting data for social and economic impact assessment, and as a
monitoring mechanism. The survey is also an effective means for finding
information on conflicting minorities and the silent majority in the
general public. The information obtained from the survey can be used to
anticipate, understand, and resolve potential conflicts over a project
undergoing an EIA.
Social surveys have an important role in EIA as both a public
involvement tool and as a data collection tool for social impact assessment
(SIA) and economic impact assessment (EcIA). Through the use of surveys,
information obtained from it can be used as a representative of the
general population and that it includes the views of the silent majority.
Furthermore, it also tends to provide different information from that
provided by other methods of public participation. Social surveys may also
provide factual information that may reduce potential conflicts by
identifying misperceptions about facts or beliefs.
The social survey was conducted at Johor Bahru on the current land
reclamation project under taken by Chemsain Konsultant Sdn Bhd along
with the aid of Prof.
3.4

Admin work

Among the admin work conducted during the internship includes data
management and key in for EIA monitoring report, binding, photocopy of
EIA and EMP related documents, and arranging EIA and EMP report.
Through the conduct of admin it, it enables interns like us to understand
more about the operation of the company and how those documents
should be arranged. It definitely will help us in the future as most company
now requires an employee which can be flexible and have knowledge on
wide variety of skills.

Conclusion

During report writing, it is important to utilise graphical illustration in


aiding description and provide reader a clearer idea. Graphics such as
location of the proposed development is a direct message sent to the
reader. Development of skills by learning to use graphic designing software
is an important practice where at some point, graphics are best in
transmitting message.
EIA is a specific study based on a particular development as
topographical characteristics and local legislation differ according to states
and location. In order to complete an EIA report, various information is
needed from specialists and other consultants which was evaluated based
on professional skills. Prior to the One Stop Agency meeting, EIA report will
be evaluated by environmental officer from DOE of various field of study.
As

such,

each

environmental

officer

has

the

responsibilities

to

communicate and seek comment from related governmental department


and proposed any enquiries during the meeting.
However, public participation as one of the important component is
frequently neglected as the proposed development was not widely
informed where voice from the public was not heard. Public participation is
important as the impact during pre-construction and post-construction can
be well predicted.
On the other hand, EMCR and EMAR is a vital assessment in order to
keep track on impacts of the development activities. The time frame in
determining the monitoring and audit period differ based on the type of
development and company policy.

Remarks

The sediment pond needs to be maintained more frequently


especially in the raining season.
Daily housekeeping is needed to keep the perimeter drain clean
Some of the tore-off geotextile sheet needs to be replaced.
Project conducted phase by phase. Exposed untouched area
cover with geotextile sheet.
Sediment pond to contain surface runoff is constructed.
Surface runoff flow naturally to sediment pond via different
height on site as site clearing work is process.
Existing road is in good condition. Road leading to / out of the
site had been paved.
All construction vehicles are passing through the tyre washing
bay and wheel cleaning before heading out of the project site to
the main road.
Regular maintenance of tyre washing bay as scheduled.
Plant debris is disposed by approved contractor to approved site
by MPPP.
All construction waste is piled up in a certain area and then
excavated into lorries and to be sent out to the approved MPPP
dump site
The surrounding site is untidy and piled with some domestic
waste
No scheduled waste temporary storage at project site.
Temporary toilet that connected sewerage to septic tank is

provided near the site office.
