Topography • The morphology of the Project Site shows that the Project Site is generally characterised as undulating terrain with contour ranging between RL40m to RL80m above mean sea level. • The highest ground (approximately RL 130.614m) lies at the peak of the hill lock in the northern portion of the Project Site while the lowest ground (approximately RL 26.573m) is within the valley of Sg. Pechah Mangkok which is situated at the southern boundary of the Project Site. b. Hydrology • From the hydrological aspect, the Project Site generally lies within the Sg. Serai river catchment area which is located approximately 82 km upstream of the Sg. Selangor estuary at Kuala Selangor. • Three (3) main streams within the Project Site are Sg. Pechah Mangkok which drains the middle portion of the Project Site; Anak Sungai Serai which drains the eastern portion of the Project Site; and a tributary of Sg. Serai which drains the southwestern boundary of the Project Site. Sg. Serai will eventually drain into Sg. Selangor prior to discharging into the Straits of Melaka. • Altogether there are six (6) water intake points within the Sg. Selangor water catchment. Among these water intake points, Rantau Panjang water intake point at Kg. Rantau Panjang near DOE station 1SR09 and Sg. Selangor Phase II water intake point near Kg. Sg. Darah are located approximately between 29km and 33km downstream of the Project Site respectively. c. Geology and Soil • The Project Site is located within the Kenny Hill Formation which consists of the interbedded sequence of sandstone, shale, siltstone and mudstone. • GCU Consultants Sdn. Bhd. has been appointed by Temasek Ekslusif Sdn. Bhd to carry out the geological terrain mapping for the Proposed Project Site. The Geological Terrain Mapping Report has been submitted to JMGS/WP and the approval has been obtained on the 6 th March 2014 with the reference no. :- JMG.SWP(GS)001/12/2Jld8(45). • The summary of the construction suitability classification of the proposed development site is tabulated in Table A .
