Document background
The Preliminary Environmental Assessment Report is a crucial document required under Malaysian environmental regulations for projects that may have significant environmental impacts. This report is typically prepared during the early planning stages of a project to identify potential environmental issues and propose mitigation measures. It follows the requirements set forth by Malaysia's Department of Environment (DOE) and must comply with the Environmental Quality Act 1974 and its associated regulations. The document serves as a fundamental tool for decision-making, helping authorities determine whether a project requires a more detailed Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) or can proceed with the proposed environmental management measures.
