UKM upholds stringent standards for water discharge compliance by aligning with the Sel. P.U. 19: Peraturan-Peraturan Pelesenan Pembuangan Air Kembalian, dan Kemasukan atau Pelepasan Bahan Buangan dan Bahan Pencemar (Negeri Selangor) 2024, specifically adhering to Regulations 3, 5, 21, 22, and 25. Through these guidelines, UKM ensures all campus discharges are licensed and meet or exceed environmental quality standards. Regulation 3 mandates licensing for any discharge activity, while Regulation 5 imposes conditions and restrictions to prevent pollution. Regulations 21 and 22 enforce pollutant concentration limits and require thorough analysis to verify compliance with acceptable discharge parameters. Additionally, under Regulation 25, UKM implements immediate mitigation actions for accidental discharges to protect local water sources and ecosystem health, reflecting its dedication to sustainable water management and environmental protection.

Sel. P.U. 19: Peraturan-Peraturan Pelesenan Pembuangan Air Kembalian, dan Kemasukan atau Pelepasan Bahan Buangan dan Bahan Pencemar (Negeri Selangor) 2024

UKM implements the Sel. P.U. 19: Peraturan-Peraturan Pelesenan Pembuangan Air Kembalian, dan Kemasukan atau Pelepasan Bahan Buangan dan Bahan Pencemar (Negeri Selangor) 2024, Volume 77 No. 25, established under the Enakmen Lembaga Urus Air Selangor 1999, to protect water resources in Selangor. Enacted on June 20, 2024, these regulations enhance water resource management through a comprehensive licensing framework that enforces strict standards for water quality and discharge control. UKM complies by ensuring that all discharges meet prescribed standards, adopting sustainable practices such as wastewater reuse and recycling, and conducting regular monitoring and reporting. This commitment aligns with the regulations’ goals of promoting sustainable water management, protecting public health, and preserving ecosystems.

These guidelines ensure regulated and environmentally responsible management of water resources, with specific standards for different types of discharges and stringent requirements for reporting, monitoring, and mitigating accidental pollutant releases.

1. Discharge Licensing Requirements: Individuals or entities must obtain a license before discharging return water or pollutants into water sources (Regulation 3, page 237)​. 
2. Standards and Parameters: The discharge of pollutants must adhere to specific standard limits (parameters like Nitrogen Ammonia, Biochemical Oxygen Demand, etc.) outlined in the Third Schedule, with distinct limits for different activities​ (Regulation 22, page 243).
3. Fees and Penalties: Annual license fees vary based on the nature of discharge and pollutants. Charges apply if pollutant levels exceed standard limits, calculated per kilogram over the standard. Non-compliance results in penalties, including fines or imprisonment ​(Fourth Schedule Regulation 21, page 243).
4. Monitoring and Compliance: License holders must conduct and report on quality monitoring every three months. Any accidents that might affect water quality must be immediately reported to authorities ​(Regulation 5, page 238).
5. Mitigation of Spills and Unauthorized Discharge: Licensees must take immediate measures in case of accidental discharge to mitigate environmental impact, including notifying relevant authorities ​(Regulation 25, page 244).

These guidelines ensure controlled water discharge and pollutant management, aiming to protect Selangor’s water resources and environment.
