• 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 22 th to 25 th and 27 th to 30 th 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. xiii

• 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.

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.
