Part 1:
Environment is a very common word and used
extensively. But do we really know the exact meaning of
the word?

Is Environment = Forest?
= Rivers?
= Animals?
= Human Beings?
= Anything that is green in colour?
 Webster Dictionary:

The complex of physical, chemical and biotic

factors (climate, soil and living things) that act
upon an organism or an ecological community and
ultimately determine its form and survival

Environment Quality Act 1974:

The physical factors of the surroundings of the

human beings including land, water, atmosphere,
climate, odour, taste, the biological factors of
animals and plants and the social factor of
aesthetics
 Kamus SDN. BHD. (Simple)

Anything that surrounds you

and effects your life
 H2O (2 atoms of Hydrogen combined with 1 atom of
Oxygen)
70% of our body weight is water
71% of earth is flooded by water
Rivers, streams, groundwater, lakes, oceans etc.
97.5% is saltwater (oceans)
2.5% is freshwater

Freshwater : water that has a salt content < 0.1%

0.3% ( )
66 %-iceberg/glaciers

Water Cycle (Hydrologic Cycle)

POLLUTION means any direct or indirect alteration of physical, chemical,
thermal or biological properties of any part of the environment

By discharging, emitting or depositing environmentally hazardous

substances

Pollutants or waste so as to affect any beneficial use

To cause a condition which is hazardous or potentially hazardous to
public health, safety or welfare or to animals, birds, wildlife, fish or
aquatic life, or to plants

To cause a contravention of any conditions, limitation or restriction
stipulated under the EQA 1974
DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT (DOE) is the agency which administers
EQA 1974 and co-ordinate all activities relating to the discharge of wastes into
the environment and for preventing or controlling pollution, protecting and
enhancing the quality of the environment

What is Sustainable Development?
The idea of sustainable development grew from numerous environmental
movements in earlier decades and was defined in 1987 by the World
Commission on Environment and Development (Brundtland Commission 1987)
as:

Development that meets the needs of the present

without compromising the ability of future
generations to meet their own needs
Sustainable development encompasses a number of areas and highlights
sustainability as the idea of environmental, economic and social progress and
equity, all within the limits of the worlds natural resources.
The six principles of sustainable development
Principle: Description:
Interdependence Understanding the connections and links between all aspects of our lives and the
links between people, other living things and places at a local and global level.
Understanding that what happens in one place can affect what happens
somewhere else.

Diversity Understanding the importance and value of diversity in people's lives - culturally,
socially, economically, and ecologically - and that our lives, our economy and our
well-being are impoverished without such diversity.

Carrying capacity Understanding that there are limits to the world's resources and the ways in which
the world can develop and that the consequences of unmanaged and
unsustainable growth are increased poverty and hardship and the degradation of
the environment, to the disadvantage of us all.

Rights and Understanding the need to lead lives that consider the rights and needs of others
responsibilities and recognising that what we do now has implications for what life might be like in
the future.

Equity and justice Understanding the underlying causes of inequity and recognising that for any
development to be sustainable it must benefit people in an equitable way and not
improve some lives at the expense of others.

Uncertainty and Understanding that our actions may have unforeseen consequences and recognise
precaution that there are limits to human knowledge and encouraging a cautious approach to
the welfare of our planet.

We do not own the environment, we just

borrowed it from the next generation

The Earth has enough resources to meet

our NEED but certainly NOT our GREED

Part 2:
Environmental Legislation is
A defined set of rules and standards enacted by the national
government for the protection of the environment.
Can be divided into three categories:
1) Pollution control legislation
2) Environmental planning legislation
3) Environmental management legislation

Enactment of environmental statutes reflects a commitment by the

government to incorporate principles of ecologically sustainable development
into policy making

RECAP!
Part 3:

An environmental management system should be in place, as
a pre-requisite to Environmental Management Plan

Prepare environmental control plan for defined segment of

the site for larger site or a whole-of site for smaller site

Base the measures in the plan on best practices

Update the plan regularly

Schedule measures to avoid and reduce erosion by phasing
the work program to minimise land disturbance in the
planning and design stage

Keep the areas of land cleared to a minimum and the period
of time areas remained cleared to a minimum

Base control measures to manage erosion on the vulnerability
of cleared land to soil loss, paying particular attention to
protecting slopes

Keep vehicles to well defined haul road

Rehabilitate cleared areas promptly i.e turfing

Minimise the quantity of uncontaminated stormwater
entering cleared areas

Establish cut-off or intercept drains to redirect stormwater
away from cleared areas and slopes to stable (vegetated) areas
or effective treatment installations.

Reduce water velocities (check dams)

Retain vegetation covers and trees as much as possible

Create buffer zones

Install erosion and sediment control measures before any
construction begins

Identify drainage lines and install

Establish an adequate inspection, maintenance and cleaning
program for sediment run-off structures

Ensure contingency plans are in place for unusual storm
events

Contruct and maintain the efficiency of silt traps and ponds

Provide a series of detention or retention ponds to minimise
flooding

Provide temporary toilets specified by JPP for site
workers

Proper storage of oil and grease to prevent unwanted
spillage

Provide closed waste bin and proper waste collection

Proper disposal of biomass, domestic and
construction waste

Provide STP to treat sewage effluent

Restrict operational hours

Make sure all equipments are well maintained and
complies with relevant noise and emission control
legislation

Mobile compressors, generators and pneumatic tolls
with sound-reduction should be used

All plant or equipment to be switched off when not in
use

Allow buffer zones

Enclose any noisy equipment

Advise local resident when unavoidable noisy work need
to be carried out (blasting)
