  6. PLANNING STAGE Department of Environment, Malaysia

  7. PUBLIC RELATION • Good neighbor policy - Need to win support of neighboring community Department of Environment, Malaysia

  8. Practical ways of promoting good neighborly relationships • Consultation with residents at the EIA stage • Make available copies of non technical summary • Dedicated staff member to handle complaints • Make available environmental monitoring data Department of Environment, Malaysia

  9. SITING CONSIDERATIONS • Sufficient buffer distance of (preferably) at least 1000 meters from residential area Department of Environment, Malaysia

  10. Site selected to minimize: • Visual impact • Dust • Noise • Pollution of water courses Department of Environment, Malaysia

  11. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT (EIA) • Identify potential impacts • Suggest mitigation measures Department of Environment, Malaysia

  12. WRITTEN PERMISSION/APPROVAL • Air pollution control • Water pollution control • Monitoring requirements Department of Environment, Malaysia

  13. PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS FOR MITIGATING ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS • Site preparation • Blasting • Extraction • Topsoil and overburden management • Rehabilitation • Processing • Stockpiling • Traffic Department of Environment, Malaysia

  14. Site Preparation • Activities: - timber clearing - grubbing - top soil and overburden salvage • Main aspects of concern: - Soil erosion and sediment control Department of Environment, Malaysia

  15. Blasting • Blasting generates: - vibration - audible noise - fly rock - dust • Control: - digital blasting using electronic detonators Department of Environment, Malaysia

  16. Extraction • Noise • Visual concerns • Dust • Traffic • Pollution prevention • Erosion, sediment, storm water • Rehabilitation Department of Environment, Malaysia

  17. Topsoil and Overburden Management • Only clear area that will be actively used for extraction, processing and stockpiling in the near future Department of Environment, Malaysia

  18. Rehabilitation • Progressive rehabilitation is recommended: - minimize topsoil and overburden handling - minimize the need for large storm water management area - prevent dust generation Department of Environment, Malaysia

  19. Processing • Aggregate processing may include: Crushers, screens, wash plants, generators, conveyors • Concerns: Noise, dust, visual impact, sediment, water, wash-water fine Department of Environment, Malaysia

  20. Stockpiling • Generates large quantity of stormwater • Stormwater management; dust control • BMPs: Chute; drop height; water sprays; buffers on down wind of stockpiles; stockpiles located away from sensitive areas Department of Environment, Malaysia

  21. Traffic • On-site traffic generates dust and noise • Mitigation measures: - aspects of haul road and industrial traffic - Entrance and exit designs - Weigh scale layout Department of Environment, Malaysia

  22. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTAND MITIGATION MEASURES Department of Environment, Malaysia

  23. STORMWATER AND EROSION CONTROL • Concerns: Soil erosion and mud slides Best Management Practices (BMPs) • Stabilization (Prevention) • Structural (Treatment) • Inspections Department of Environment, Malaysia

  24. Stabilization (Prevention) • Bufferzone • Bioengineering • Ditches • Erosion control blanket • Tarp • Vegetation cover • Benching • Hidroseeding • Limit clearing • Tree protection Department of Environment, Malaysia

  25. Structural (Treatment) • Check dam • Ditches • Outlet protection • Retention basin • Settling pond • Silt fence • Swales Department of Environment, Malaysia

  26. Inspections • Post-storm events • Weekly Department of Environment, Malaysia

  27. Reference Document • Manual Saliran Mesra Alam (MASMA) published by Drainage and Irrigation Department (DID) Malaysia Department of Environment, Malaysia

  28. Drilling • Concerns: Noise and dust • Requires: drilling plan • Mitigation measures: - Drilling machine: dust extraction and collection - Drill hammers and engines: Noise suppression - Drilling hours: Restricted Department of Environment, Malaysia

  29. Blasting • Concerns: Vibration, air blast • Standard: Air blast over pressure: 120dB (Lin Peak) Ground vibration: Maximum 3 mm/s peak particle velocity (ppv) • Mitigation measures: - Use hydraulic rock breakers - Do not use surface detonating cord - Use electronic detonators Department of Environment, Malaysia

  30. Noise • Activities: - Drilling - Blasting - Earth moving operations - Crushing - Screening Department of Environment, Malaysia

  31. Standard At Quarry Boundary • Should not exceed 5 – 10 dB(A) above normalday time ambient level • Day time: 65 dB(A) • Night time: 55 dB(A) Department of Environment, Malaysia

  32. Processing • Enclosures around crushing and screening plants • Solid barriers (bund walls and topographical features) • Vegetation belt • Maintain access and haul road to reduce truck noise • Maintain & lubricate machineries to reduce machinery noise • Use silencers on compressors, rotary engines and generators Department of Environment, Malaysia

  33. Dust control • Typically, low concentration of dust in respirable range (less then 3 microns) • Sources - from processes - from fugitive sources Department of Environment, Malaysia

  34. Dust Generating Points • Drilling • Blasting • Loading of trucks • Truck travel • Fugitive dust loss from trucks • Dumping onto primary crusher • Primary, secondary, tertiary crushing • Screening • Transfer points on conveyor systems • Loading onto storage piles from conveyors • Windblown dust from stockpiles and open conveyors Department of Environment, Malaysia

  35. Mitigation Measures • Some already discussed earlier • Common approach: - Wet suppression system - Dry collection system Department of Environment, Malaysia

  36. Agglomerative Wet Suppression System - Use atomizing nozzles - Water spray pressures Exceeding 14 atm (200 psi) Department of Environment, Malaysia

  37. Wet Suppression System • Applicable for both process and fugitive dust emission • Efficiency: Greater than 70% • Need to enclose dust generation sources Department of Environment, Malaysia

  38. Examples of Enclosure Types/Forms Transfer Points • A head box with inlet strip curtain • A seal on underside of feeder belt • Tight chute with a rock box • Tight skirt board for the entire length of the belt cover • Strip curtain fitted at the front and back discharges of the cover Department of Environment, Malaysia

  39. Enclosure Types/Forms…(cont.) Screens • Preferably, totally enclosed • If open, the feeder belt must be enclosed with a head box extending out over the deck and distribution plate • A seal with rubber between deck and hopper Department of Environment, Malaysia

  40. Enclosure Types/Forms…(cont.) Crushers • Rock box or vault under crusher, with substantial volume • If no vault, the receiving belt must be skirted • Crusher month to be protected from wind by wind screen Department of Environment, Malaysia

  41. Enclosure Types/Forms…(cont.) Dump pockets and hoppers • Custom design enclosure • Hopper top - use of solid sheet material/ tarp fabric/wind fence material • Baffles or turning vans Department of Environment, Malaysia

  42. DRY COLLECTION SYSTEM • Advantage: - More efficient • Disadvantage: - Capital intensive - Power consumptive - High maintenance - Applicable only to sources which can be enclosed Department of Environment, Malaysia

  43. Dry collection system consist of: - Extraction system (hoods, ducting, fans) - Bag house (filters; filtration velocity) Department of Environment, Malaysia

  44. Drilling for blast charge: • Use wet suppression system or • Hooding plus cyclone Department of Environment, Malaysia

  45. Crushing operation(primary, secondary, tertiary) Primary Crushers • All crushers must be enclosed • Wet suppression system (spray above and below crushers) • Crushers can be inter-linked with water flow detectors Department of Environment, Malaysia

  46. Secondary Crushers • Sources: - transfer into crusher - crusher itself • Dust control: - enclosure - vent though bag house Department of Environment, Malaysia

  47. Screening and Material Transfer • Sources: - Screens - Transfer points - Load outs (from hoppers and conveyors) • Dust control: - enclosure - vent though bag house Department of Environment, Malaysia

  48. Conveying • Control: - Spraying with water or conditioning agents at or below discharge points from the conveyer Department of Environment, Malaysia

  49. Stockpiling • Control: - Storage bays - Covers - Water spraying (plus suppressants) - Reduce fall height - Use stone ladder - Limit height of stockpile - No open storage of material under 3 mm - Stockpile at sheltered points - Areas used by vehicles to be consolidated or kept wet Department of Environment, Malaysia

  50. Truck Out Areas (From quarry site to public roadways) Control: • Paving (minimum 30 m) • Use wash station Department of Environment, Malaysia
