4.10 Drainage at Reclaimed Land (a)
Proper drainage system, either temporary or permanent, shall be provided at all stages of reclamation works. All proposals of drainage works in connection with reclamation shall be submitted to the Board for approval. b) Before the commencement
of any reclamation works, drains affected by the reclamation shall be upgraded and extended to channel off the overland flows from the existing land upstream of the reclamation site. c) All temporary drainage systems provided during the construction stage shall be cleansed and maintained regularly by the reclamation developer/owner to remove all obstructions, silt and rubbish until such time when the reclaimed land is developed and provided with a permanent drainage system. d) The developer/owner shall maintain and manage the completed reclaimed land at all times to ensure that runoff is effectively drained away without causing drainage problems within the land or to the adjacent lots. The finished levels of the completed reclaimed land shall be formed in such a manner to ensure free surface water drainage and no localised ponding.
All subsidence, low-lying areas and depressions shall be filled-up and graded to effect proper surface water drainage.
