2.0 ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS

2.1 Noise Pollution
Regulatory Requirement
The project activity is expected to generate noise due to usage of machinery

especially air compressor, hand breaker, grinding machine and generator set as well as vehicular
movement coming in and out to project site. Therefore, it should be complied with the DOE
environmental noise level criteria. Protection of site personnel from the effect of
excessive expose to noise fall under the department of Occupational, Safety, and health
(DOSH) via the Factories & Machineries (Noise Exposure) regulation, 1989. The planning
guidelines for Environmental Noise Limits and Control introduced by the Department of
Environment (DOE), the construction of a new development should refer to Schedule 1 and
Schedule 6 of Annex A as tabulated below.

Notes for Table 2.4

MAIN BUILDING WORKS
*1. At these times the maximum permissible levels as stipulated in Schedule 1 for the
respective residential density type shall apply. This may mean that no noisy construction
work can take place during these hours.
**2. A reduction of these levels in the vicinity of certain institutions such as schools,
hospitals, mosque and noise sensitive premises (apartments, residential dwellings, and hotels) may
be exercised by the local authority or Department of Environment. Where the
affected premises are noise sensitive, the limits of the Schedule 1 shall apply.
3. In the event that the existing ambient sound level (L90) without construction,
maintenance and demolition work is higher than the L90 limit of the above Schedule, the
higher measured ambient L90 sound prevail. In this case, the maximum permissible L10
sound level shall not exceed the Ambient L90 level + 10 dBA, or the above Schedule L10
whichever is the higher.
4. NA = Not Applicable.
In line with the compliance status, Limit for daytime noise level should be <60dBA and
night time should be <50dBA.

MAIN BUILDING WORKS
3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING
3.1 Monitoring Program
The monitoring program will be implemented and carried out on monthly basis to ensure that the
major elements such as air, water and noise level are controlled and well below the permissible level.
3.2 Proposed Baseline Monitoring
The baseline monitoring data will be acquired prior to the commencement of construction works at
the initial stage of the project.
3.3 Proposed Ambient Air Quality Monitoring
To be proposed by Environmental Consultant.
3.4 Proposed Water Quality Monitoring
3.5 Proposed Noise Level Monitoring

MAIN BUILDING WORKS
4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL AUDIT
4.1 Environmental Audit Program
During the audit, a checklist is recommended to be used as to check and improve the
environmental compliance. A sample of a checklist is presented as in Table 4.1
The audit programme is to be conducted periodically based on specific requirements when the
contractor commences construction work. The auditor shall be conducted by Registered Auditor
with Department of Environment.
A periodic environmental audit and inspection programme shall be developed for the project. The
audit programme shall include the following activities;
• Inspection/auditing to ensure mitigation measures are properly and effectively

implemented based on the EIA, EMP and the approval condition by the DOE for compliance.
• EIA-01 and EIA-02 forms (if the EIA Project).
• An analysis and interpretation of the monitoring results in order to establish the
environmental profile of the project at the time of the audit.
• Verification of whether the results of the environmental monitoring comply with or exceed
the defined environmental performance limits. Any exceedences of environmental
performance limits will be highlighted.
• Review the adequacy of the implemented mitigation measures. Additional mitigation /
remedial measures, changes in working practices etc. will be recommended as necessary (in
the event of non-compliance with environmental performance limits or identification of
adverse impacts) to ensure that the project environmental objectives are achieved.
• Assessment of the effectiveness of the environmental management plan, practices and
procedures.
• Identification of any environmental problems and impacts that may be encountered in the
near future, and determination of appropriate solutions.
• Investigation of any complaints from residents / sensitive receivers/neighbouring
installations and the actions taken when complaints are received.
• Liaison with responsible parties to review the overall monitoring programme in terms of
procedures, location of monitoring stations, frequency, parameters measured and test
methods to ensure that the environmental objectives are achieved.

requirements during all phases of construction and maintenance activities. In addition , on site
environmental awareness training will also be carried out for all the staff, subcontractors and workers
throughout the construction duration periodically as follows:-
EVENTS FREQUENCY

MAIN BUILDING WORKS
6.0 POTENTIAL IMPACT AND MITIGATION MEASURES
6.1 Potential Impact
6.1.2 Noise Pollution
Noise problems are usually highlighted and concerned during earthwork and
construction activity at the development area. This situation is a common phenomenon
and could be reduced at a certain limit of the receptor. The problems encounter when
the limit of the acceptable by receptor exceed the human capability. Activities at the
proposed site which are anticipated to generate noise are the sound produced by the building work
activities such as the air compressor, grinding machine, electrical generators etc. Due to the nature
of the works which will mostly involve the interior building works activities and there are no school
or hospital or any other sensitive public amenities area surrounding the project site, it is expected
that the noise level generated from the site activities will have a minimal impact to the surrounding
areas.
6.2 MITIGATION MEASURES AND MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES
Mitigation measures recommended in this section of the report correspond with the
potential environmental impacts identified earlier.
6.2.1 Noise Pollution
The mitigation measures for noise could also be taken by limiting the construction
period such as normal working hours in daytime (e.g. 8.00 am to 7.00 pm) if close to the
residential areas. By doing this, the resting and sleeping hours of residents in the vicinity are not
affected. It should be noted that human ears are more sensitive to sound during resting hours.
Noise mitigation during normal daytime working hours could be implemented by providing sound
barrier insulation to the specific machinery or sound barrier if the noise level exceeds the
permissible levels.
