EXISTING ENVIRONMENT

Analytical results obtained showed the river water quality of Sungai Klang generally falls within Class III and in good condition

Noise levels are measured at the site. The main source of noise coming from the main

road nearby. Maximum noise levels occurring in the morning and evening for the increased number of vehicles on the road.

EXISTING ENVIRONMENT

Causes

Air pollution during construction comes from road dust, plant and machineries, of which the leading pollutants are carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons.

Action

As roads within the project area will be cleaned and sprinkled at regular intervals to reduce fugitive dust.

Strengthen maintenance of transportation vehicles, so as to ensure a discharge of vehicle exhaust gas according to relevant standards.

DUST

EIA DURING CONSTRUCTION

Causes

pollutions on ambient air by the proposed project include mainly dusts from surface levelling at the construction site, movements of transportation vehicles and their loading/unloading of construction materials, earthwork by construction machinery and temporary piling of spoils

Action

Enclosure walls with a height of 2 meters or above will be built around the construction site.

A water ditch shall be made at the exit to and from the construction site, so as to reduce the amount of earth on tires of vehicle to and from the construction site.

Covers will be made on materials to be transported or they will be transported by enclosed vehicles, routes of transportation vehicles shall avoid residential quarters and other environmentally sensitive areas, and vehicle speed shall also be limited.

Causes

Suspended solid due to soil run off due to heavy rain.

Fuel. (oil spill from the plant and machineries on site is also discharged into the drain during rain)

Action Run off water from construction site will be routed to a temporary sedimentation tank for settlement of suspended solids.W

ASTEEIA DURING CONSTRUCTION

Causes Waste material on site that are not properly maintained.

Action Control the disposal of waste at the site need to be done for the purpose of avoiding contamination of soil and groundwater.

Proposed Project can be implemented at the proposed site without creating significant adverse impacts on the environment.

If all of the action proposed to be made and applied at the project site pollution levels in the surrounding area the project can be reduced.
