h. Sound Level

• Noise levels at the designated sampling sites N1, N2, N3, N4, N5 and N6 (same location with the air quality

assessment) were determined from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. for day-time and 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. for

night-time.

• The result analysis shows that all existing noise level were below the permissible limits except for N1

(morning session) and N1, N4, N5 and N6 (night session). High noise level is most probably attributed by

the vehicles passing at nearby the sampling point and human activities surrounding the Project Site.

i. Vibration Level

• The vibration level monitoring study was conducted on six (6) selected sites for 8-hour period on the 22th

to 25th

and 27th

to 30th

July 2015.

• The result analysis shows that existing vibration level at all points were within the permissible limits.

Biological Environment

• The predominant vegetation in this area is mainly commercial crop (oil palm – Elaeis guineensis) and

secondary shrubs. Old plantings of oil palms are located at the southern portion whilst young plantings are

concentrated in the northern portion of the Project Site.

• Common secondary shrubs vegetation encountered in other part of the Project Site are Balik angin

(Mallothus biaceae), Acacia, Albizia, Banana, etc.

• Apart from that, flowering weed and small woody plants have been introduced as an ornamental plant

and is considered an invasive species in many tropical and sub-tropical areas.

• From the outcome of site inspection, flora composition of the Project Site can be considered low density

as there is no important forest tree encountered whilst most of the vegetation found is mainly oil palm

trees, shrubs, pioneer woody plants, weeds, fern, grasses and cover crop.

• The fauna composition at the Project Site seems to be very much adversely affected due to surrounding

development activities nearby (i.e., oil palm plantation, township and housing) which does not provide a

suitable habitat for wildlife.

• No large mammal was recorded in the estate area except for cows. There are other small animals, which

belongs to the primate, shrew and rodent families are found and easily seen in the Project Site. These

mammals are quite common in secondary forest, agricultural and urban set-up. Among these species, only

Tree shrews and Long-tailed Macaques are considered important species for conservation since it is listed

as ‘Protected wildlife” under Wildlife Conservation Act 2010 (716). Although listed as ‘Protected wildlife’

these Tree shrew and Long-tailed Macaque is very common, inhabiting secondary, primary and disturbed

lowland forest.

• A number of bird species from Totally Protected Bird (Crested Serpent Eagle, Brahminy Kite, Common Iora,

House swift, Oriental Dwarf kingfisher, Barn Swallow, Black-naped oriole, Collared scops-owl and Barn owl)

and Protected Wild Bird categories (Pink-necked pigeon, White-rumped munia and Magpie robin) of

Protection of Wild Life Act 2010 have been found at the site.




EUROPASIA ENGINEERING SERVICES SDN. BHD. xiv

• Other mammals found in the general vicinity of the Project Site are mainly the small animals common to

the oil palm estate and urban settlement.

Socio-economic Environment

• Based on the Population and Housing Census of Malaysia 2010, the total number of population for Mukim

Rawang was 199,095 people.

• Malays make up bulk of the population totaling at 104,698 people, followed by the Chinese and by the

Indian people at 44,960 and 32,035 respectively. Other Bumiputera makes up about 2,072 people, while

the population of other Malaysian is numbered at 1,763. The remaining 17,457 people were Non-

Malaysians residing in Mukim Rawang.

• Immediate surrounding within the radius of 30-100m from the Project boundary especially on the north-

eastern and south eastern boundary area were pretty active with anthropogenic activities. The place is

laden with residential parks and villages.

• To the east, northeast and southeast of the Project site are mainly traditional villages, such as Kg. Permata

(east, <500m), Kg. Melayu Sri Kundang (east, 1km), Kg. Setia (east, 1.5km), Kg. Merbau Sempak (southeast,

1km) and Kg Baru Kundang (north, 1km).

• From site visits, it can be deduced that the socioeconomics of the surrounding area from the Project Site is

laden with activities and equipped with infrastructures as well as other public facilities.

III. Proposed Project Description

• Based on the proposed project component, the provision for infrastructure and utilities will be the major

landuse type, which accounts for 33.45% of the total developed area (i.e. 342.52 acres), followed by

residential, commercial, open space and recreation area and community facilities / public institutions.

• Residential component make up 27.42% of total areal coverage, i.e., approximately 280.75 acres out of the

total development area for a total of 6,013 units. There are ten (10) types of houses that are proposed to

be constructed at the Project Site.

• The commercial sector, which takes up 24.83% (i.e. 254.18 acres) of the total development, shall consist of

three (3) types of commercial sector.

• Community facilities in this development are primary school, secondary school, surau, hall, kindergarten,

SJK (T) Bukit Darah, Private primary schools and private non-Islamic religious house which cover 3.36% or

34.41 acres.

• Infrastructure and utilities that are proposed in this development are detention pond, drainage reserve,

water tank, suction tank, TNB substation, TNB main distribution station, sewage treatment plant and

sewage pump station.

• The detention ponds covering a total of 41.44 acres land will also be upgraded to recreational area and

landscaped.




EUROPASIA ENGINEERING SERVICES SDN. BHD. xv

• There is allocation for open and green area with total area coverage of 112.01 acres planned for the holistic

growth of the proposed development.

• Based on the overall planning for the proposed development, the tarred roads occupy approximately

270.50 acres of land.

• With the total population equivalent estimated to be 99,500; the quantitative demand in basic

infrastructural facilities and the amount of waste generated is summarized in Table D.

The development at the proposed Project site will be divided into four (4) phases i.e., Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3

and Phase 4. It is estimated that the proposed development will be carried out for duration of approximately 17

years i.e., from earlier of 2017 to mid of 2033.

Earthworks for each stage are expected to be carried out between 2 to 2.5 years while the building

constructions for each phase are expected to be carried out approximately 4 to 10 years. The development

V. Framework of Environmental Management Plan (EMP)

Apart from the recommendation of mitigating measures, this report also emphasizes on the formulation and

implementation of an environmental management plan (EMP). This plan involves the participation of the

Project developer, local authorities, consultants as well as the contractors. The outline of the EMP relies on a

collective effort from all the various group involved regardless of their level of involvement in the hierarchy. The

management schemes and monitoring program proposed for the proposed Project at construction and

operational levels are:

• Supervision, field training and maintenance program for pollution control structures;

• On-site implementation of mitigation measures;

• Planning of a progress of works on site;

• Provision of safety measure along with an emergency response plan;

• Implementation of a properly documented traffic management scheme to ensure safety within the site;

• Water, air, noise and vibration quality monitoring to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed mitigation

measures implemented on-site;

• Water, air, noise and vibration quality need to be analyzed by a laboratory accredited by Jabatan Piawaian

(Standard) Malaysia.

VI. Conclusion

The Proposed Mixed Development will be developed on Lot 1456, Parts of Lot 1504, Lot 1861, Lot 1862 and

Part of Government Land, Mukim Rawang, Daerah Gombak, Selangor Darul Ehsan. The proposed Project will

be developed on 1,023.87 acres (414.35 ha) and the proposed Project is to be developed by KL Kepong

Property Development Sdn. Bhd. The Project Site is under the jurisdiction of Majlis Perbandaran Selayang.

In reviewing the proposed Project and its’ anticipated integration with the existing environment of the Project

Site, the main concerns is the effect of soil erosion and contamination (i.e. water, air, noise and vibration

pollution) on the physical environment and upon human himself during the earthworks and construction phase.

Part of the biological environment will be lost during site clearing and construction activities. However, this can

be mitigated via the various practical and cost effective remedial measures recommended in this report to

minimize adverse environmental impacts. Success of the development in integrating with the surrounding

developing areas will contribute towards the social acceptability of the proposed Project. By incorporating the

concept of conservation in an environmentally led design layout plan, a sustainable development can be

achieved to offset its adverse impacts.
