sedimentation traps.

During the dry weather, project site shall be


spray with water to reduce the air borne
particulate matters.

Earth moving trucks must be wellmaintained.

Drivers must follow traffic rules strictly and


be restricted to below 20 km/hr within
project site.

Wheels of vehicles leaving the project site


shall be cleaned using high pressure water
jet to remove dirt and sand into a pit,
especially during wet days or passing
through wash trough to ensure no dirt will
left on the public road.
The fuel tanks will be situated at a location
remote from drains to avoid fuel oil from
reaching the open drainage during
spillages.

Emissions of dust and particulate.


Disturbance of surface soil and earth
moving vehicles will contribute to
the increase of air borne total
particulate matters.

Temporary fuel tank may be installed


to cater to the needs of construction
machineries.

Improper handling of fuel oil and its

spillage will increase the risk of fire


hazard and pollution to the project
site.

Standard safety measures required for


handling inflammable materials should be
applied to reduce risk of the hazard.

Reduced water quality due to oil,


grease and hydraulic fluid spills

Transportable power generator should be


used to supply electrical power to cater to
the needs of the construction site.

Traffic disruption through use of


water tankers

Electrical power can also be tapped from


existing regular electrical supply structure
but necessary care will be taken to avoid
overloading and disruption of supply in the
area.

Provide secure container for disposal, to


secure landfill

Besides, small amount of earthwork


is also needed for the construction of
the building foundation.

Water Pollution

Reinforced concrete piles are driven


into the ground to provide firm
foundation using high impact
hammer.

High impact noise will have


undesirable psychological and
physiological effects on human wellbeing.
Water Pollution Turbidity and high
concentration of suspended solids
due to the riverbed disturbances,
erosion and surface runoff

Air Pollution

visibility is good.

This will confine the noise pollution to only


daytime and reduce risk of accident during
work progress.

Maintenance works of machinery must be


centralised to one location to prevent
pollution of the waterways

Store all unused oils in drums for disposal


or recycling

Segregate materials used and stored in


areas that are protected from weathering
elements
Store raw materials neatly and properly
covered

Accidental oil and grease spillage

4. Ancillary/ infrastructural works


Building Construction
Medium quantity of building
and installation
materials, equipment and labour will
be expected as it is only involve a
factory expansion.

The increase number of vehicular


movement for the above purpose will

increase the traffic flow and


proportionately this may increase the
risk of road accidents.

Construction activity is also risky in


nature. Most construction activities
and operation of construction
machineries increases the risk of
industrial accidents.
Medium quantity of construction
waste and anthropogenic waste
(produced by construction labour
force) will be generated every
construction day causing pollution
and health problems.

scheduled so as not to coincide with the


two periods or peak hour traffic in Danga
Bay, morning between 7.00 am to 9.00 am
and afternoon between 5.00 pm to 7.00
pm.

The contractors shall implant worksite


safety measures and to enforce safety rules
to reduce the risk of accidents.

Example, wearing of safety boots and


safety helmets within project area should
be made compulsory for all persons.

Project boundary should be clearly marked


and no entry signs should be posted to
prevent trespassing of curious people.

A waste removal contractor will be engaged


to remove construction waste and other
solid waste for off-the-site disposal at
regular interval.

Waste removal schedule will be adjusted to


the intensity of construction activity. This is
to prevent the piling up of construction
wastes and rubbish, which may contribute
to inconveniences and increase the risk of
accidents and health related problems.

Sewage Treatment and


Disposal

Transportation

Dumpsite should be designed and


constructed to limit wind dispersal of
rubbish.
Provide adequate temporary sanitary
facilities away from drainage streams

Public health and sanitary problems


from improper disposal

Contamination of receiving water if


not properly treated
Transportation Medium quantities of
building materials and machineries
needs to be transported to the
project site.

Rent toilets with disposal schemes.

Drivers of trucks and lorries will be


instructed to be extra careful and give due
consideration to other road users as well as
increase the risk of accident.

The transport vehicles may cause


congestion to Jalan

All trucks that transport loose aggregates


will be tarpaulin covered to prevent spillage
on public roadways.

Sungai Danga Kota Iskandar. Other


road users may be affected by
increased inconvenience and
increased risk of accident.

Transportation of huge objects and building


materials should be carefully scheduled to
avoid the two peak hours of the day.

Construction vehicles will be well


maintained and diesel vehicles will be well
tuned and maintained to cut down
emissions of smoke, which is the main
contribution of

Particulate Matter (PM10) in the ambient air


of Danga Bay.

Spillage of materials and so on


aggregates from transportation
trucks will reduce aesthetics.

Bigger volume of traffic will increase


the ambient noise level and total
particulate matters in the ambient
air due to vehicle movement and its
exhaust gases.

Community Structures

Project Abandonment

Community Structures Presence of


construction workers from outside
the area may cause disruption to the
local population and strained local
resource.
It is expected that the proposed
project will enhance local economic
activities because most of the
business generated by the project
will be channelled to the local
population.

Project Abandonment Reduce


aesthetics quality

Hazard and risk to the public residing


in the surrounding areas

The requirement for construction workers


will most probably be fulfilled by sourcing
from the population of neighbouring towns.

Reducing the number of immigrant workers


from outside the region.

A few foreign engineers from overseas


suppliers may be involved in the
installation of special equipment or systems
during advanced stages of construction.

Therefore, the effects of the construction of


the project on local population structure will
be negligible and temporary in nature.
Project Abandonment Plan should be drawn
up to ensure land is revegetated,
equipment, materials removed and
potentially hazardous structures enclosed.

Significant and long term impact

Relevant authorities be informed well in


advance
