COMPLIANCE OF EIA APPROVAL CONDITIONS FOR KUALA LUMPUR-PUTRAJAYAKLIA HIGHWAY PROJECT

摘要

The study was to identify the compliance of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) ApprovalrnConditions in terms of total suspended solids (TSS) discharges from the silt trap and in the rivers forrnKuala Lumpur-Putrajaya-KLIA highway construction project, Malaysia. The data from August 2005rnto May 2007 was obtained from Department of Environment, Kuala Lumpur. This project was chosenrnfor the study because this project was among the early projects after the implementation of Erosionrnand Sediment Control Plan (ESCP). The highway cut across several rivers where a total of suspendedrnsolids (TSS) were measured at upstreams and downstreams with a total of twelve (12) stations. Inrnaddition, twelve (12) sampling stations for the silt trap discharges located along the rivers were alsornmeasured. The results have shown that fifteen (15) out of one hundred and thirty two (132) samplingsrnfor river stations recorded incompliance of about 11.4% and seven (7) out of fifty two (52) samplingsrnfor silt trap discharge stations recorded incompliance of about 13.5%.
