Foreword
This standard was developed by the Project Committee on Environmental Protection and Enhancement
Works for Projects established by SIRIM Berhad.
a) to provide a systematic and structured assessment system for environmental protection measures
and incorporated in the preparation of tender document;
This standard will be subjected to review to reflect current needs and conditions. Users and other
interested parties may submit comments on the contents of this standard for consideration into future
versions.
Compliance with this standard does not by itself grant immunity from legal obligations.
0. Introduction
In line with the environmental policy of Jabatan Kerja Raya Malaysia which is committed to
ensure the implementation of government projects with emphasis on the importance of
environmental protection as well as legal and regulatory compliance, efforts to improve
environmental management during project implementation is prioritised. A comprehensive
environmental management and effective environmental protection and conservation
efforts during the implementation of construction projects are very crucial in delivering a
project that can be completed and meets the quality, time and cost set by the client, meet
the satisfaction of all stakeholders involved and at the same time ensure that the overall
project is conducted in the most sustainable manner.
To ensure that the projects are managed in environmental and sustainable manner, specific
requirements, guided by the requirements in National Policy on Environment, National
Physical Plan and the Environmental Quality Act 1974, are identified and incorporated in
the preparation of the tender document and subsequently implemented during the planning,
design, procurement and construction stages of the project.
1. Scope
This standard provides guidance and standard drawings for Best Management Practices
(BMPs) based on current needs.
This standard is applicable to both conventional and design and build projects.

environment of a proposed project and to detail out the mitigating measures prior to project
approval and implementation (refer on Appendix 6 EGIM).
Detailed assessment in quantitative terms wherever possible, and in qualitative terms of:
NOTE. The prescribed activities requiring EIA are normally of high magnitude in terms of area and
sensitivity, and thus require detailed assessment study to predict the potential impacts and to

The erosion and sediment control BMPS shall be designed, installed and maintained to
comply with ESCP Guidelines, Manual Saliran Mesra Alam (MSMA) and MS 2526-12, or
Sarawak Urban Stormwater Management (SUStoM). Examples of best management
practices for erosion and sediment control are given in Annex F.
The project proponent/contractor shall install and maintain appropriate surface runoff
control measures prior to the commencement of site clearing and earthworks. Upon
completion, the site shall be reinstated and other measures which are not required shall be
removed, unless otherwise stated. The best management practices for erosion control
include, but not limited to the following.
c) Lined waterway (rock materials): A waterway or outlet with a lining of rock, stone
or other permanent material to provide for the disposal of concentrated runoff, where
grassed waterways would be inadequate due to high velocities.
d) Catch drain: A drain running along the side of a road or track to collect runoff from
road/track surface.
e) Cascading drain: Concrete stepped catch drains laid on the steep terraced slopes
to guide flows from the berm drains down to catch drains at the base.
f) Riprap: A layer of medium rock laid onto slopes and channel beds to protect soil from
erosion in areas of concentrated runoff.
g) Check dam: A small, temporary device constructed of rock, sandbags or fiber rolls,
placed across a natural or man-made channel or drainage ditch to reduce the velocity
of concentrated stormwater flows, to trap small amounts of sediment generated in the
conveyances, to reduce scour and channel erosion and to encourage sediment
dropout. The check dams shall be inspected regularly after rain and any damages
shall be rectified. The sediment accumulated behind the check dams shall be
removed when it has reached two-thirds of its height and disposed at designated site.
k) Rock outlet protection: Paved and/or riprapped channel treatment, placed below
storm drain outlets or any discharge outlets to reduce storm water velocity and to
prevent scour at storm water outlets.
m) Storm drain inlet protection: Silt fence, sandbag or fiber rolls installed around any
storm drain inlet to reduce stormwater velocity and detain or filter sediment-laden
runoff.
n) Silt fence: Temporary sediment barrier made of non-woven, synthetic filtration fabric
stretched across and parallel to the contours of the site, attached to supporting wood
or steel posts and entrenched, to prevent sediment carried by sheet flow from leaving
the site by slowing storm water runoff and causing the deposition of sediment at the
structure. The silt fence shall be inspected after every rain event. The silt accumulated
behind the fence shall be removed when it has reached two-thirds of the fence filter
height and disposed at designated site.
The proponent/contractor shall install and maintain appropriate erosion control measures
immediately upon reaching formation level. Upon completion, the site shall be reinstated,
including landscaping, and erosion control item and other measures which are not required
shall be removed, unless otherwise stated. The best management practices for erosion
control include, but not limited to the following.

comply with all the requirements of the conditional approval of the EIA report and/or the
recommendations in the EMP.
No site clearing and earthworks shall be carried out prior to EMP approval by relevant
parties/authorities. EMP should be updated throughout the construction period for onsite

1. The contents of the above table are to be derived from “Summary of Impacts and pollution
prevention and mitigation measures” recommended in the EIA Report and additional
requirements stipulated in the EIA approval conditions (COAs).
2. P2M2 are those which can be described as “state of the art technologies” or “industry best
practices”.
The following information shall be provided: name and contact details (mobile phone
number, e-mail address) of the professional who has been tasked to prepare the ERP
and the schedule for its preparation and submission to DOE.
In a particular case where the project proponent intends to abandon a project whether
it is in the construction stage or after it has started operation, an abandonment and
closure plan shall be prepared.
A checklist to assist the Consultant in the EMP preparation and to summarise the
EMP actionable items is given in Table C.
I certify that the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) has been prepared with my knowledge
and I shall undertake the responsibility to ensure the actions plans/pollution prevention and
mitigation measures (P2M2) stated in the EMP will be implemented. I have provided sufficient
allocation for the implementation of the EMP and P2M2.
