Potential Environmental Issues for GRAPHITE
&
Proposed Operational Control Measures
• “In terms of erosion and
sediment control,
construction sites are
identified as the highest
producer of sediment per
hectare.
• Studies have shown that
construction activities can
contribute close to 40,000
mg/l that is 1000-2000 times
higher than amount of
sediment generated from a
catchment in its natural state.
“If you listen to the river carefully you will hear the river cry for help”
Where the silt comes from?
Excavation Land clearing & grading
Hydrostatic testing Pumping from drilling works
Silted water flowing to public Silted water flowing into
road public drain
Flooded working area Silted water discharge at silt
trap discharge point
Silted water discharge at silt trap discharge point
failed to comply with DOE requirement;
TSS: 28,000mg/L against 50mg/L
Silt trap heavily silted and not maintained.
Silt trap unable to function as required.
Silt Trap Check Dam
Earth Drain Silt fence
Silt trap functioning as required. Water sample taken comply with
DOE requirement; TSS: 0 mg/L against 50mg/L
Silt Curtain
– To be used at areas of land reclamation works.
– Constructed encircling the fill area to prevent excessive dispersal of sediments
during the fill process.
