SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
6.1 Introduction
For sustainable this project development we using Urban Storm water
Management Manual for Malaysia (MASMA) as a guideline. Storage and
conveyance facilities as a guideline for design development. Sustainable
development is development that meets the needs of the present, without
compromising the ability. The concept of sustainable development can be
interpreted in many different ways, but at its core is an approach to
development that looks to balance different, and often competing, needs
against an awareness of the environmental, social and economic
limitations. Beside that, for cut and fill we did not import soil and using
existing soil volume at site. New development was defined the conversion
of natural or rural areas of this site into urban, industrial infrastructures
and utility development. Storm water system are divided into two
categories major and minor. The minor system consists of swales, gutter,
pipes on-site detention, bio retention and the various types of inlets and
BMPs that collect, store treat and convey runoff to a discharge area or
impoundment. Components in the minor quantity system are sized to
manage runoff generated by the more frequent short-duration storm
events. The major system includes natural stream, channels, pond, lakes,
wetlands, large pipes and culvert. Design criteria for the major quantity
system are typically based on significant amounts of rainfall produced by
the less frequent long duration storms. Bmps all sizes, are designed based
on the same selected storm but from much more frequent events.
Implementation of natural slope, erosion and sediment control, treatment

measures such as swales, water quality pond and wetlands will sustain this
project development for a long term.

6.2 Natural Slope Protection

Site clearance of this project need natural vegetation for retained or

minimise erosion. Beside that wil reduce the requirement for erosion and
sediment controls during construction. Protection include mulch layer will
protect the critical slope. Properly designed slope protection and
stabilization has to include two components a vegetational-biological and
a mechanical-structural component. For maximum effect, both
components must be integrally planned prior to road construction.Properly
designed and planted vegetative covers play a significant role in
preventing surface erosion and shallow mass failures. The function of root
systems of live plants on shallow soils on steep slopes is that of a binder
for individual soil particles or aggregates. bond unstable soil mantles to
stable subsoils or substrata, provide a cover of a laterally strong fine root
systems close to the surface, and provide localized centers of
reinforcement in the vicinity of individual trees where embedded stems act
like a buttress pile or arch-abutment on a slope.

The structural-mechanical component can consist of conventional

retaining walls, either the gravity or cantilever type, or a reinforced earth
structure. Structural-mechanical stabilization techniques are called for in
cases where the potential for deep-seated slope movement or high, lateral
earth stresses exists.

6.3 Swales

This project was covered by swale for store or convey runoff at a non-
erosive velocity. It will help the water quality through infiltration,
sedimentation and filtration. Dense vegetation, usually grass to slow deon
flows and trap particles and remove pollutant. Swales are shallow, broad
and vegetated channels designed to store and/or convey runoff and remove
pollutants. They may be used as conveyance structures to pass the runoff
to the next stage of the treatment train and can be designed to promote
infiltration where soil and groundwater conditions allow.Check dams and
berms also can be installed across the flow path of a swale in order to
promote settling and infiltration.

Advantages of swales is easy to incorporate into landscaping, Good

removal of urban pollutants, reduces runoff rates and volumes, low capital
cost, Maintenance can be incorporated into general landscape management
and Pollution and blockages are visible. The suitable depth of grass to
remove pollutants is about 150mm.

6.4 Earth Work Control

6.4.1 Mulching

By using mulch layer will covers and protects exposed, loose soil and
infiltration for this site. The toss on grass seed, and the protection
improves. The root system of grasses works its way into the soil to help
keep it intact, plus the grass covers and guards the soil from wind once it
starts to grow. Mulching is a temporary ground cover that protects the soil
from rainfall impacts, increases infiltration, conserves moisture around
vegetation, prevents compaction and cracking of soil, and aids the growth
of seeding and plantings by holding the seeds, fertilizers, and topsoil in
place until growth occurs. Mulching can be used either to temporarily or
permanently stabilize cleared or freshly seeded areas. Types of mulches
include organic materials, straw, wood chips, bark or other wood fibers.
Mulching requires periodical and after storm inspection.

Criteria of application and design:-

No. Criteria
1 Mulch may be used with netting to supplement soil stabilization
2 Binders may be required for steep areas, or it wind or runoff is a
problem
3 Types of mulch, binders, and application rates should be
recommended by manufacturer

4 Mulch should not be applied in areas subjected to concentrated flows

as it is highly erodible

6.5 Wet Pond

This site was suitable using wet pond designed to drain very slowly, its
bottom and lower portions will be inundated frequently for extended periods
of time. Grasses in this frequently inundated zone will tend to be stressed
with only the species that can survive the specifics environment at each site
eventually prevail. The outfall structure for wet type water quality ponds will
be sized to allow for complete drawdown of the surcharge water quality
volume stored above the permanent pool in less than 12 hours.

6.6 Divide Phase

We proposed development for covering an area of approximately in

328.36ha or 3283600m2. Project were divide to three phase for easier
monitor and observe the sustainable of development. The phase area as
below:-
i) 74.54ha
ii) 31.87ha
