1 PROPOSED NEW REGULATION:- ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY (POLLUTION OF THE SOIL) REGULATIONS 201X PERATURAN-PERATURAN KUALITI ALAM SEKELILING (PENCEMARAN TANAHTANIH) 201X
2 INTRODUCTION Malaysia has not inherited such a frightening legacy of contaminated land as in other developed countries. Many sites such as motor workshops, petrol stations, fuel depots, railway yards, landfills, industrial sites and ex-mining land can be potential contaminated sites. Little work carried out in identifying contaminated sites. Land contamination normally goes unnoticed. Severe land contamination will have significant impacts on human health and the environment Significant liability issues associated with land contamination unlike wastewater discharge or air emission, land contamination stays long after chemicals releases. There is no regulation on CLM developed in Malaysia.
3 SOIL POLLUTION CONTROL BY EQA, 1974 Section 24 of the Environmental Quality Act 1974 states that; (1) No person shall, unless licensed, pollute or cause or permit to be polluted any soil or surface of any land in contravention of the acceptable conditions specified under section 21. (2) Not withstanding the generality of subsection (1), a person shall be deemed to pollute any soil or surface of any land if (a) he places in or on any soil or in any place where it may gain access to any soil any matter whether liquid, solid, or gaseous; or (b) he establishes on any land a refuse dump, garbage pit, soil and rock disposal site, sludge deposit site, waste injection well or otherwise used land for the disposal of or a repository for solid or liquid wastes so as to be obnoxious or offensive to human beings or interfere with underground water or detrimental to any beneficial use of the soil or the surface of the land. 3
4 PENALTY EQA, 1974 Section 24 Compounding of offence shall not exceed RM 2,000 Any person who contravenes this section shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable to a fine not exceeding one hundred thousand ringgit or to imprisonment for a period of not exceeding five years or both and to a further fine not exceeding one thousand ringgit a day for every day that is continued after a notice by the Director General to cease the act specified therein has been served 4
