2. INTRODUCTION
• Environmental laws have to be forward-looking
in anticipation of advancement in socio-
technological development affecting the
environment.
• Consistent with this, Malaysian Environmental
laws were amended to further protect the
environment and improve on the quality of life.
• The Environmental Quality (Amendment) Act
1996 was gazette on the 1st of August 1996.
3. • The amendment to the Act may require
central audit, which means a periodic,
systematic, documented and objective
evaluation to determine compliance to
environmental regulatory requirement,
environmental management system and
overall environmental risk of the premises.
4. ENVIRONMENTAL
MANAGEMENT PLAN (EMP)
• Prior to starting the project, an EMP must
be submitted to the DOE for approval.
• In this EMP, the operator should include
strategies for the management of
important issues associated with the
construction and operation of the station.
5. • This plan should include an administrative
setting such as the Environmental Safety
and Health Department that is responsible
for environmental management.
• This should include the structure,
manpower and specific responsibilities of
the personnel concerned.
6. • Among these responsibilities are: -
– liasing with the Malaysian authorities on
environmental related matters
– submission of reports on environmental
performance
– co-ordinating environmental training and
awareness
– prevent non-compliance
– identifying and recording environmental
problems and issues
– controlling non conformance until the
condition has been mitigated and corrected
– implementation of corrective actions
7. • The EMP also includes the legislative requirement to be
observed and complied with.
• These are given below but not necessarily are limited to
it:
– Compliance to the Environmental Quality Act
(Amendment) 1996.
– Contamination as given in the Environmental Quality
Act 1974 (Act 127) and subsidiary legislation made
thereunder.

17. Environmental Audit Checklist
• This section provides a checklist of the
mitigating measures that must be taken to
ensure that the mitigating measures are
adequately carried out to meet various
conditions stipulated by the authorities.
18. (i) Planning and Design
• Has the machinery been incorporated with
the required noise control equipment?
• Has adequate air pollution control
equipment been incorporated to meet the
Standard C, Environmental Quality (Clean
Air) Regulations, 1978?
19. (ii) Damage and Interference (on
Structure, Roads, and Other Property)
• Have all precautions been taken to avoid
damages and interference (other than to the
extent that is necessary for them to be removed
or diverted to permit the execution of the works)
to:
a.watercourses or drainage systems?
b.utilities?
c. structures, roads, including street furniture, or
other property?
d. public or private vehicular or pedestrian
accesses?
20. • Have all items, which are damaged or interfered
with as a result of the works, and items which
are removed to enable work to be carried out,
been reinstated to at least the same condition as
existed before the work started?
• Has written permission been obtained prior to
any excavation or performance of any other
work directly or indirectly affecting any utility
(underground, overhead or on the surface)?
• Has appropriate remedial action been taken for
any damage to structures, roads or other
property?
21. • Has alternative access been provided if
interference with existing public or private
vehicular or pedestrian access is
necessary to enable the works to be
carried out?
• Has the arrangements for the alternative
access been agreed by the relevant
authorities?
(iii)Access
22. • Are the permanent accesses reinstated as soon
as practicable after work is completed and the
alternative access removed immediately if it is
no longer required, and the ground surfaces
properly reinstated?
• Are all necessary precautions been taken to
protect structures or works being carried out by
others adjacent to and, for the time being, within
the site from the effects of vibrations,
undermining and any other earth movements, or
the diversion of water flow arising from the
work?
23. (iv)Noise
• Is noise monitoring carried out at locations and
frequency determined by the DOE?
• Does the noise level comply with all
requirements of the authorities?
• If any noise level gives rise to public complaints,
has the contractor taken immediate steps to
mitigate the problem such as limiting noise
intense works to 0800 to 1800 hours?
• If it is necessary to work beyond 2000 hour, has
the approval from relevant authorities been
obtained?
24. (v) Water Quality and Silt Trap
• Is water containing soil particles or muddy water
flowing as surface run-off or from other areas of
the worksite being drained into a suitably
designed silt trap before it is discharged into an
outlet drain, ditch, stream, or sea?
• Is silt trap size designed to conform to the total
catchment area?
• Is the silt trap regularly inspected and de-silted?
• Has the sites for deposition of desilting material
been determined and approved by the
authorities?
25. • Is the water drained from the silt trap
being frequently monitored (weekly) for
TSS, and other relevant parameters?
• If the desilting material has to be disposed
outside the construction area, is strict
procedure taken to avoid leakage of
material along the transportation route?
• Are the sampling locations and frequency
complying with the DOE requirement?
26. (vi) Site Cleaning and Disposal of
Waste Material
• Have all debris, spoil material, rubbish and other
waste being cleared regularly from the site?
• Is the disposal site for dumping of the waste
material approved by the local authorities?
• Is the access to the work sites free of all debris,
waste and excavated material and other
obstructions?
• Are the waste oil and other scheduled wastes
being handled and disposed according to
procedures for scheduled wastes?
27. (vii) Air Quality
• Is air monitoring carried out at locations
and frequency determined by the DOE?
• Does the air quality comply with Standard
C, Environmental Quality (Clean Air)
Regulations, 1978?
28. (viii) Safety
• Have the contractors ensured that all workers
understand and comply with the standard safety
procedures for handling heavy machinery,
vehicles and equipment?
• Is there a safety officer to oversee that the
overall safety compliance has been adhered to?
• Are first aid facilities available at all times at the
construction site?
• Is there available immediate transportation to
hospital for medical treatment, if required?
