PREFACE
In line with the MS: ISO 14001 requirement, a continual improvement of the system must
be done to ensure success and effectiveness of environmentally sustainable approach in
construction. To produce a clear and comprehensive tender document, revision of JKR
Tender Documents on environment protection and enhancements has been done by
itemising the environmental works into the Bill of Quantities to allow contractors to tender
a realistic price. Arahan Teknik (Jalan) 16/03, produced in 2004, provided changes to the
items in the Tender Document with regards to the Condition of Contracts, Instruction to
Tenderers, Specification to Environmental Protection and Enhancements, Preamble to Bill
of Quantities, Need Statement, Bill of Quantities and Drawings.

CHAPTER 1.0: INTRODUCTION
1.0 Introduction
Environmental protection and conservation is gaining more significance in the long term
national development plan. In this regards, Malaysia as a country, has reaffirmed its
commitments towards the protection and conservation of its environment as stated in the
National Policy on Environment, National Physical Plan (NPP) and prevailing
Malaysia Plans.
In summary, the National Policy on Environment aims for continuous economic, social
and cultural progress and enhancement of the quality of life of Malaysians, through
environmentally sound and sustainable development.
The main goal of the NPP is to create an efficient, equitable and sustainable national
framework that will guide future development of the country. It is an important piece of
document as it provides the spatial element in development planning as well as spells out
policies that determine the direction of physical development and conservation areas
within Peninsular Malaysia. It also identifies areas that need to be conserved and protected
via a ranking system. These areas are called Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESA).
Such identification will greatly assist any project proponent (government or private sector)
in evaluating and determining the feasibility of some projects at macro or national level.
In line with the nation‟s aspirations in protecting the environment, JKR has formulated
and implemented the “JKR Green Mission” and has an Accredited MS ISO 14001
since 5th November 2002. The main objective of the document is to protect and enhance
the environment by ensuring that projects are being implemented in a sustainable manner
and with the least impacts to the environment.
1.1 Objectives
This Revised Arahan Teknik shall aim to attain the following objectives:-
To ensure that the “JKR EMS ISO 14001” requirements in terms of environmental
protection measures are properly incorporated in the preparation of the tender
document and subsequently implemented during the planning, construction and
operational stages of the project.
This document is applicable for both conventional and design and build contracts. A
typical example of the process flow for both types of contracts can be referred to in the
JKR‟s Quality Management System (QMS).

1.3 Limitation
This document may have limited use for costing and environmental protection
measures purposes in the preparation of Bill of Quantities (BQ) for Projects that are
subjected to the following:
For projects identified above, more specific environmental protection measures may be
required in order to minimize impacts to the environment.
This Revised Arahan Teknik (Jalan) 16/03 has been divided into eight chapters addressing
the various components which form part and parcel of the tender document preparation
process.
Chapter 8.0 Standard Drawings and Figures – in which preliminary drawings and
figures of mitigating measures such as silt trap, sediment basins, check
dams and fuel storage skid tanks are shown.

CHAPTER 2: ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS
The legislation that is related to the prevention, abatement, control of pollution and
enhancement of the environment in Malaysia is stipulated in the Environmental Quality
Act 1974 (Amendment) 2007. To date, 40 sets of Regulations and Orders have been
introduced and enforced. Under this Act, an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is
required for activities prescribed under the Environmental Quality (Prescribed
Activities (Environmental Impact Assessment) Order 1987. Those activities that are
not subject to the mandatory EIA requirement are nevertheless subject to various other
regulations under the Act. The standard regulations require evaluation for project siting,
pollution control, monitoring and self regulation via the audit process.
For the states of Sabah and Sarawak, the environmental requirements are clearly stipulated
in the Environment Protection (Amendment) Enactment 2004 and Natural Resources
and Environment Ordinance respectively.
Apart from compliance with the Environmental Quality Act (EQA) 1974 (Act 127) and
other related environmental legislations, the following Acts are also applicable based on
its relevancy to the planning, design, construction, equipping and commissioning of any
project.
6
2.1 Planning/Design Stage
Environmental requirement during planning or design stage is clear whereby if the said
project has been classified as a “prescribed activity” according to the Environmental
Quality (Prescribed Activities) (Environmental Impact Assessment) Order 1987 and
Section 34A of the Environmental Quality (Prescribed Activities)(Environmental
Impact Assessment) Order 1987, an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) study
needs to be carried out and submitted to Department of Environment for approval prior to
project implementation.
Under the Act, there are a total of nineteen (19) categories of prescribed activities which
include agriculture, airport, drainage and irrigation, land reclamation, fisheries, forestry,
housing, industry, railways, transportation, resort and recreation development, waste
treatment and disposal, and water supply projects. Additionally, a Detailed Environmental
Impact Assessment (DEIA) study is required for thirteen (13) different types of projects
which include steel mill, pulp and paper mill, cement plant, coal-fired power plant, dams
(hydroelectric and water supply), coastal land reclamation, incinerators (scheduled wastes
and solid wastes, solid wastes disposal sites, projects involving land clearance where more
than 50% of the area has slope>250) and logging (>500 hectares). It is to be noted that for
projects in Sabah and Sarawak, specific local legislations pertaining to EIA requirements
need to be adhered to.
For the state of Sabah, lists of prescribed activities are contained in First Schedule and
Second Schedule of the Environment Protection (Prescribed Activities) (Environment
Impact Assessment) Order 2005. For projects in Sabah, an environmental impact
assessment report is required for any prescribed activities specified in the Second
Schedule of the Environment Protection (Prescribed Activities) (Environment Impact
Assessment) Order 2005. In addition, a proposal for mitigation measures is required for
any prescribed activities specified in the First Schedule.
For projects in Sarawak, an environmental impact assessment report is required for any
prescribed activities specified in the First Schedule of the Natural Resources and
Environment (Prescribed Activities) Order 1994.
Apart from the legislative requirement, EIA may be prepared taking into consideration the
sensitivity of the project in terms of its location, site conditions and magnitude of impacts.
In some cases, preparation of EIA study is required by the local authorities or form part of
the contractual requirement of a project.
Findings from the study are intended to provide input in the planning of the Project,
particularly in minimizing environmental impacts during the construction and operational
stages. An EIA is considered as a planning tool to assist the Project Initiator in
anticipating impacts of the development, both beneficial and adverse, with an aim to
maximize the beneficial impacts and minimize the adverse impacts on the environment.
For better understanding of the EIA process and procedures, an EIA flow chart for both
Preliminary EIA and Detailed EIA are shown in Figures 1 and 2. Similarly, a simple EIA
flow chart for Sarawak and Sabah are shown in Figures 3 and 4.

2.2 Implementation/ Construction Stage
In order to monitor Project‟s compliance with the general requirements of the Client‟s
needs and relevant environmental legislation, an Environmental Management Plan
(EMP) shall be prepared as detailed herein. The EMP shall be prepared in accordance to
the format or guidelines recommended by the Department of Environment (DOE) and/or
other relevant government departments‟ requirements. These guidelines shall provide the
framework for the preparation of the environmental management and mitigation measures
to mitigate on-site impacts to acceptable limits as stipulated by the DOE.
The EMP is not intended as a rigid planning document but an active document that shall
be revised and improved, as and when required, throughout the implementation stage.
Proper execution of the EMP is expected to result in minimal adverse impacts on the
surrounding environment and its natural resources.
The plan shall outline the responsibilities of the various parties involved in the Project,
the environmental requirements for the Project and specifies mitigation measures and
environmental monitoring and audit that must be implemented during construction
stage. The EMP shall be prepared and implemented to ensure compliance to the JKR EMS
ISO 14001.
The auditing procedure and schedule shall be detailed out in the EMP. The audit shall
focus on the implementation of the EMP and/or other environmental management
elements. The environmental auditor shall have the necessary expertise and experience to
execute the tasks diligently and professionally in accordance with the requirements of JKR
EMS: MS ISO 14001 and shall undertake the following tasks:-
(a) To carry out environmental compliance audits quarterly and closure audit on
completion of the project;
(b) To evaluate monitoring data for water, air, noise qualities and if applicable
vibration qualities;
12
2.3 Operational/Post Construction Stage
Upon submission and acceptance of the closing audit at the end of the construction period,
monitoring of operational activities in compliance to the necessary laws and regulations is
encouraged to be continued during the post construction stage in order to ensure that the
operational stage of the project does not cause any environmental damage. The impact of
generated wastewater has been deemed to be the more significant residual impact that
requires further monitoring. The quality of any wastewater discharged must comply with
the limits as stipulated by the Environmental Quality (Sewage) Regulations 2009.
The use of the relevant Guidelines in the planning/design stage of the project is deemed
necessary in order to ensure the project activities do not violate any applicable laws and
regulations. The guidelines need to be used in respect to the project site specific
conditions.
