PETALING JAYA: All local authorities and relevant authorities must make it compulsory for an erosion and sediment control plan (ESCP) to be prepared by certified professionals and submitted for development projects under its control.
In a position paper prepared by the Water Resources Technical Division of the Institution of Engineers Malaysia (IEM), its chairman Datuk Ahmad Fuad Embi said this was among the recommendations that IEM’s erosion and sediment control sub-committee had proposed to the Government on how to address the massive erosion and sedimentation in the country.
