Best Management Practice
-On- site Environmental Protection Programs-
Water Quality Management & Soil Erosion :
 Soil Erosion & Siltation Control Program
C
Regulate site clearing, earthworks, construction works - progress in
O
N stages.
S
T Drainage network i.e., earthen/concrete channels connected to silt traps
R to intercept runoff from disturbed areas.
U
C Keep onsite runoff velocities low by applying contour drain, provision of
T
I
buffer strip or retention of vegetation, short slopes and low gradient.
O Immediately stabilised disturbed areas once disposal works completed
N
by ground cover, turfing and hydroseeding of exposed slopes/areas.
P Inspect and maintain control measures regularly especially after heavy
H
A rain. Frequent removal of sediment from the sediment basins. Regulate
S
E and record maintenance work (desilting, upgrading/ strengthening of
bunds).
Log book - sequential site clearing and earthworks activities.
C
Water Quality Management & Soil Erosion :
O Water Quality
N
S Silt traps, sedimentation ponds and drainage system to channel
T surface runoff should be provided prior to the site clearing and
R
U earthworks commences.
C
T Bund outlining the fuel storage tank should be constructed to avoid
I
spillage. These bunds should have the capacity to hold 110% of the
O
N whole tank storage in the area. Facilities to pump spilled should be
P provided.
H
A Spent oil and grease are not allowed to be discharge into any
S waterways. It should be kept in an appropriate container and/or
E
recycled or disposed off at an area approved by DOE
• Silt trap complete

with gravel filter
and geotextile
surrounding the
perforated riser.
• Banks covered
with plastic
sheet.
• Banks strengthen
through sheet
pile.
• Silt trap
complete with
gravel filter
surrounding
the perforated
riser.
• Banks
stabilized by
using ‘sand fill
mattress’.
Well turfed bund
Silt
Marker
• Proper maintenance works i.e., desilting & cleaning up the

geotextile material should be conducted regularly.
• Silt traps constructed in series.

• Typical temporary earth

drains
• Temporary drain laid

with gravel.
 Check dams established in drain leading to the public drain in

order to ensure better silt removal.
• Permanent drain
should be
established
concurrently with
building works.
• Strip of land along
the drain (I.e., drain
reserve) should be
turfed.
• Permanent
retention pond.
• Discharge should
comply to
compliance limit
imposed by the
DoE.
• Banks should be
turfed and
maintained.
Silt Fence
• Silt fence along
waterbodies (i.e., river,
lakes) will help to
prevent/minimize
sediment washout.
Silt Berm
Cover Crop and Turfing

 Completed platforms which will
be developed later should be
cover cropped or turfed to
avoid soil washout and
sedimentation problem.
• sheets of plastics
laid on bare slopes
as temporary
measures.
• very effective to
protect from
raindrop impact.
• simple to
implement.
• once taken away,

slope should be
turfed as soon as
possible.
Turfed Slope
 Permanent slopes
should be turfed
immediately after
completion to
prevent slope
failure;
 These slopes should
be equipped with
berm drains and
cascading drains as
well.
Plastic Sheet
• sheets of plastics laid
on bare slopes as
temporary measures;
• very effective to
protect from raindrop
impact;
• simple to implement;
• once taken away,
slope should be
turfed as soon as
possible.
Matting at Slopes
Retaining Wall
• Interlocking
concrete blocks
Retaining
Wall
• Soil nail &
crib wall
Retain existing
vegetation
• Example of
existing palm trees
being used as part
of landscaping
program
Landscape
• Good lanndscaping
program not only
beautifies the
Project area, but
also help to
minimize soil
erosion and
siltation problems.
