Silt Trap/Sediment Basin Silt trap/sediment basin shall be designed according to Jabatan Pengatran dan Saliran's latest edition of “Urban Stormwater Management Manual (MSMAY and Local Authority requirement. Silt trep/sediment basin which comprises of rocks in gabions, shall be constructed in respective catchment area to collect and store sediment prior to entering natural waterways. The silt traps/sediment basins shall be inspected regularly especially after heavy rain and any damages shall be rectified, The sediment accumulated in 8©) @ © the silt traps/sediment basins shall be removed when it has reached 2/3 of its depth and disposed at designated site. Gabion Wall ‘A. gabion wall which comprises rocks in gabions but of smaller nature compared to silt trap, shall be constructed in difficult terrains such as on slopes ‘and narrow valleys for the purpose of collecting and storing sediment prior to centering natural waterways Check Dam A. cheek dam which is a small, temporary ot permanent dam shall be constructed across a drainage ditch, swale or channel for the purpose of lowering the speed of concentrated flows. ‘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 2/3 of its height and disposed at designated site. ‘The height of the check dam shall be maintained to be the same at all time. Silt Curtain Silt curtain shall be used to mitigate sediments by confining sediments and prevent dispersal and contamination of the water body for example in lakes, riverbanks and sea. Silt curtain shall also be used as a divider to prevent sediment laden-water from migrating to the rest of the water body. Fach silt curtain shall be inspected on a daily basis at a minimum. The inspector shall check the condition of the floating device, the geotextile, load line, anchors, and buoys, as well as the location end functionality. Additionally, the bottom of the silt curtain shall be inspected for folds and accumulated silt. ‘Any problem or failure of the curtain shall be repaired or replaced immediately. ‘Additional check must be performed after each runoff events, as well as after heavy winds or current. Accumulated sediment shall be removed as per ‘manuficturers* instruction, The suspended sediments trapped behind silt curtain shall be allowed to settle for a minimum of 24 hours, prior to removal of the silt curtain, For fine particle, longer time for settlement shall be expected, The curtain shall be removed during calm weather and low flows. 44oO e part Silt curtain is mandatory to be double (2) layered. It has to be changed on a constant schedule (lo be proposed by consultant based on experience of silt Curtain wear and tear lifespan) and not to wait until damage is evidently visible ts by then it will be too late as silt and waste materials would have leaked ‘outside of project boundary and can cause damage to fragile coral reef area. ‘Note: Skirt length to be adjusted 10% longer than the water depth Sand bag barrier ‘A sandbag barrier is a series of sand-filled bags placed on @ level contour fo intercept sheet flows. Sandbag barriers pond sheet flow runofi, allowing sediment to settle out, Sandbag barriers are suitable as a linear sediment control measure which includes below the toe of slopes and erodible slopes, as sediment traps at culvert/pipe outlets, down slope of exposed soil areas, around temporary stockpiles and spoil areas, as check dams across mildly sloped construction roads and parallel o a roadway to keep sediment off paved areas. Sand bag barrier shall be checked regularly before and after rain events, In ‘ddition, sandbags exposed to sunlight will cause degradation and need to be teplaced immediately. Sediment should be removed when the sediment tewumalation reaches one-third of the barrier height and disposed at designated site, Note: Other items not specified above shall be referred to the latest JKR ‘Standard Specification for Buildings Works and Standard Specification for Road Works 45
