lntroduction on agency 

The Central Building Plan Unit (CBPU) of  NEA provides one-stop service for  clearance of  Industrial  Allocation/Landuse applications, Development Control (DC) Plans and 

Building/Detailed Plans (BP/DP) for development proposals on environmental matter s consisting of Pollution Control,  Envir onmental  Health, Sewerage/Sanitar y  and Drainage Matters.  

To ensure that Singaporeans continue to enjoy a quality  living environment, environmental

considerations and factors are incorporated at the land use planning, development  control

and building control stages so as to minimise pollution impacts to the environment, mitigate

nuisance impacts to surrounding land use and safeguard environmental health. CBPU screens and assesses the hazards and pollution impacts  of the proposed industries at the Industrial Allocation (IA) stage to ensure that they do not pose unmanageable health and saf ety  hazards and pollution problems, and do not generate wastes that cannot be safely managed and properly disposed off. A proposed factory will be allowed only if it is sited  inan appropriate industrial estate, is compatible with the surrounding land use and can

comply with the pollution control r equir ements. The siting requirements for  industries and pollution contr ol r equir ements ar e specif ied in the Code of  Pr actice on Pollution Contr ol. 

The Water Reclamation (Network) Department, PUB or  PUB(WRN) plans, operates and

maintains the public sewerage network and also regulates the provision of sewerage system and sanitary facilities in Singapore. The public sewerage network collects used water from

domestic and non-domestic (e.g. industr ial, commer cial, etc) sour ces.

What are the reguiations invoived?

Poiiution Contr oi 

The Environmental Protection and Management  Act (EPMA) & Regulations  provide for and regulate the installation, operation and maintenance of the industr ial  plant and pollution

control facilities. It also regulates the limits for emission of air impur ities into atmosphere, discharge of  wastewater  into watercourse and the factory boundary noise. The EPM Arequires a Clearance Cer tificate  to be obtained before the commencement of any industr ialplant work and a Compliance Certif icate to be obtained after satisfactory completion of any

industr ial plant work. 

Envir onmentai Heaith

The Sewerage and Drainage Act requires: 

a) Clearance Certif icate to be obtained before the commencement of any storm water  

drainage works, or to er ect or place any str uctur es or object  in, above or across any dr ain or  drainage reserve

b) Compliance  Certificate  to be obtained upon satisfactory completion of any storm water drainage works, erection or placement of any str uctures or ob ject  in, above or  across any drain or  dr ainage reserve

c)   Appr oval to be obtained bef or e carr ying out any tempor ar y str uctur e wor ks/ser vicesover, across or ad jacent to any dr ain or storm water drainage system

Who are the parties invoived?a) Developer appoints  a process consultant or Qualified Persons (QP- Registered

 Ar chitect or Professional Engineer) to prepare and submit the necessary applications to obtain Industrial  Allocation clearance, Development  Contr ol  clearance, Building Plan clearance certificates,  Temporary Occupation  Permit  clearance and Certificate for Statutory Completion clearance (Compliance Certificate)

b)  QP shall also supervise, inspect the building works and cer tify completion of buildingworks in accor dance to the environmental codes 

Requirements of submission Land Use and Deveiopment Pianning Stage

Industrial developments are generally incompatible with residential premises. Even with

pollution control f acilities to comply with emission standards, residual or f ugitive emissions of smell, dust and noise cannot be totally eliminated from industries.  Although these emissions are well within safe levels, they would cause nuisance problems if  industries are built too close to residential premises. 

To minimise nuisance from industries, adequate buffers are provided between  r esidential 

premises and industries. To guide land use planning, industries are classified in four  categories namely clean, light, general and special. Industr ial  estates  close to residential areas are designated for clean or light industr ies whilst those located sufficiently far away

from r esidential  areas such as Tuas and Jur ong Island are designated  for special industr ies which have the potential to cause serious pollution or  use large quantities of  hazardous chemicals. To minimise pollution of water catchments, limited land within water catchments is zoned f or  clean or light industr ial use that do not use large quantities of chemicals.

S

Land zoned for  industrial use will be allocated  to the industrial land developing agencies such as JTC Cor por ation  (JTC) and Housing Development Board (HDB) or tendered out for 

development by private sectors. JTC, HDB and private developers consult CBPU on the 

allocation of  industr ial pr emises.

 Any new development  or change in land use will result in the discharge or increase in the discharge of used water, which requires an adequate public sewerage system to convey to the water  reclamation plants f or treatment and disposal.

It is critical that developing agencies such as EDB, URA & JTC etc. inform/consult PUB, Water  Reclamation (Network) Department (WRN) at the earliest moment possible of  developments that are likely to take place to enable PUB (WRN) to assess the availability and adequacy of the public sewerage system to support the proposed developments. This isbecause some sewerage system upgrading works, if  necessary to support the pr oposed 

deve lopments, may take S years or more to implement. 

The following cr itical inf ormation on used water dischar ge from the pr oposed development/

land use shall be submitted to PUB (WRN): 

a) the timeframe for completion of  development upon making of  Final Investment Decision (FID) 

b)  the  timeline  f or  dischar ge  to public  sewer   and  the  estimated quantity  &  dischar ge r ates (average and peak) of used water dischar ge 

(Note: peak to average r atio should be kept to about 3} 

Singapore is a tropical country with annual rainfall of around 2400mm. Rain is f elt throughout the year but tends to be heavier  from November  to January.  Any new land

development  will result in the increase in surface storm r unoff s.  It is essential that an effective and adequate  drainage system be put in place to prevent flood and public health

risks.

Before proceeding with the design of a proposed development, developing agencies or QPshall apply to CBPU for the drainage information related to the development site. Drainage Interpretation Plan (DIP) indicates drainage reserves or land safeguarded for future drainage schemes and the Minimum Platf or m  Level (MPL) for effectual surface water drainage. The 

DIP may not show det

ails of the common drain at the development. Upon receipt of DIP,QP/deve loping agency shall conduct site surveys to verify the alignment and invert levels of  the dr ainage reserves, outlet drains and common dr ains (if any).

lndustriai Aiiocation (lA) 

 At this early stage of industr ial development, CBPU screens industries to ensure compliance 

with the f ollowing: 

a)  Sited in designated industr ial estates and compatible with the sur r ounding land use b) Adopt clean technology to minimise the use of  hazardous chemicals and the 

generation of wastes. They will also adopt processes which facilitate the recycling, r euse and recovery of wastes

c)  Do not pose unmanageable health and saf ety hazar ds and pollution pr oblemsd)  Install pollution contr ol equipment to comply with discharge or emission standar ds e)  Gener ate wastes which can be saf ely managed and proper ly disposed of  

The siting  requirements f or  industr ies and  pollution  contr ol  r equirements  are specified  in 

the Code of  Practice on Pollution Contr ol.

To facilitate evaluation,  pr ospective industr ialists shall complete the IA application form available online in CBPU s Industr ial   Allocation System (IAS) at website address http://ias.nea.gov.sg/Public Applicant/Homepage.aspx ,  and provide all necessary information on the company's activities, raw materials used, details of fuel burning equipment (if any), and types of waste generated (air emission, trade effluent & toxic waste) for CBPU's evaluation and approval. The developer shall engage a consultant to conduct and

prepare Quantitative Risk  Assessment/Pollution Control  Study  report for the proposed

industr ial deve lopment, if  required by CBPU.

Sewerage and Drainage lnf ormation

Before pr oceeding with the design of a proposed development, QP shall apply to CBPU f or  the following sewerage and drainage information related to the deve lopment site: 

a) Sewerage  Interpretation Plan (SIP) indicates the location and alignments of public

sewers or pumping mains in the vicinity of the development. The SIP may not show details of the existing sewer  connections at the development. QP should ascertain/verify details of the existing sewer connection on site 

b) Drainage Interpretation Plan (DIP) indicates drainage reserves or land safeguarded 

for future drainage schemes. The DIP may not show details of the common drain atthe development. QP should ascertain/verify details of the common drains on site 

c)  The Minimum Platform Level (MPL) f or eff ectual sur face water  drainage 

For  additions and alterations to existing developments which do not involve an increase in the existing building cover age area, QP need not apply for  SIP & DIP. 

QP can apply for  DIP/SIP  on-line (Internet) and make payment  online using cash card or  credit card. The fee charged is $20 for DIP and $20 per standard plan not exceeding A sizefor SIP.
