    Environmental Impact Assessment: Proposed Onsite Secure Landfill (Prescribed Premise) for the Storage of NUF Solids within the Existing LAMP Site located on PT 17212, Gebeng Industrial Estate, Kuantan, Pahang 6 EXISTING ENVIRONMENT 6.1 INTRODUCTION This section provides a description of the physical, chemical, biological and social aspects of the environment within the Zone of Impact (ZOI) of the proposed secure landfill Project. It highlights the components of environmental concerns of the Project site and its surroundings. The term ZOI is used to describe the area most likely to be impacted by the Project. The ZOI represents the surrounding area within a 5 km radius from the boundary of the LAMP site. The information provided within this chapter forms the basis of the impact assessment in Chapter 7. The description provided in this chapter is based on site visits and environmental monitoring data at the LAMP site, undertaken by Permulab (M) Sdn. Bhd., a laboratory accredited by the Department of Standards, Malaysia under the Skim Akreditasi Makmal Malaysia (SAMM), Malaysian Meteorological Department and publications by DOE, Kuantan Municipal Council, Pihak Berkuasa Perancang Tempatan (PBPT) Daerah Kuantan. Data from past studies, including the “Preliminary EIA and Quantitative Risk Assessment of the Proposed Advanced Materials Plant in Gebeng Industrial Area, Kuantan, Pahang, by Enviro Sdn Bhd, 2007” was also referenced. 6.2 TOPOGRAPHY Regionally, the GIE is located in the Kemajuan Tanah Merah area where Bukit Tanah Merah was flattened to construct the industrial estate. The GIE is located within the low-lying and predominantly swampy Sungai Balok catchment area with an average land elevation of 7m above mean sea level.

  • Influence of Seasonal Rainfall to the Water Quality of Slim River Lake in Perak, Malaysia
    Plant Archives Volume 20 No. 1, 2020 pp. 2191-2198 e-ISSN:2581-6063 (online), ISSN:0972-5210 INFLUENCE OF SEASONAL RAINFALL TO THE WATER QUALITY OF SLIM RIVER LAKE IN PERAK, MALAYSIA Yonis Ahmed Kitan* and Som Cit Si Nang Department of Biology, Faculty of Science and Mathematics, Sultan Idris Education University, 35900 Tanjong Malim, Perak Darul Ridzuan, Malaysia Abstract Rapid pace of development surrounding many lake catchments substantially affects the waterbody quality, thus causing public health concerns, threats to endangered aquatic species, aesthetic issues and algal blooms. This study assessed physicochemical and biological profiles of water quality in Slim River Lake (Perak, Malaysia), and relate with rainfall. On-site and laboratory analyses performed include turbidity, dissolved oxygen (DO), total nitrogen, total phosphorus, water temperature, chlorophyll-a and cyanobacteria biovolume. The effects of rainfall on the lake’s water quality were analysed based on the Pearson correlation analysis. Results showed a significant correlation between rainfall and water temperature (r = 0.480 p < 0.01), total phosphorus (r = 0.478, p < 0.01) and DO (r = -0.406, p < 0.05). In addition, the results also showed a positive correlation between the rainfall and biovolume of Phormidium spp. test (r = 0.372, p < 0.05). This study provides significant contribution on the impact of seasonal rainfall to the variability of physical, chemical and biological profiles of the lake ecosystem, and reflected its health status and pollution. Key words: Eutrophication, Lakes, Water quality, Slim River Lake, Rainfall Introduction lake’s water quality. These efforts were taken to prevent lake degradation from happening and to ensure adequate Lake has performed a variety of functions including management and remediation efforts are made to restore water source, drainage, food supply, flood control, its stability (Zaki et al., 2014; Vogt et al., 2018).

    CHAPTER 4 Project Options ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT FOR EXPANSION OF ACRYLICS COMPLEX ON B200 AND A200 BLOCKFIELDS AT THE EXISTING INTEGRATED CHEMICAL SITE (ICS) OF BASF PETRONAS CHEMICALS SDN BHD, GEBENG, KUANTAN, PAHANG CHAPTER 4 – PROJECT OPTIONS Chapter 4 PROJECT OPTIONS 4.1 Introduction This chapter describes the Project options, covering project siting, technology options and the “No Project” option. 4.2 Project Siting In order to ensure sustainability of the Project with the surrounding environment, it is important that the site is properly selected. The Project is located within B200 and A200 block fields at the existing ICS on Plot 139 within Phase III of Gebeng Industrial Estate. Gebeng Industrial Estate is designated for heavy industries and largely for petrochemical and chemical industries. The planned Project will closely integrate with the existing and future BPC facilities to achieve higher efficiency via integrated development concept through: . Availability of feed stream with the required amount and quality; . Sharing of common utility, infrastructure, service and support facilities and export facilities; and . Optimal use of shared maintenance and logistics. There are no sensitive residential areas within the immediate vicinity of the site. The nearest residential area from the Project site is Balok Perdana, which is located about 2.7 km southeast and the Institut Latihan Perindustrian (ILP) Kuantan, which is located about 1.9 km southeast from the site. No significant land use impacts or development constraints are expected in the surrounding area as a result of the Project implementation. A summary on the compliance of project siting is tabulated in Table 4.2.1.

An amazing number of these natural treasures lay nestled in tranquil bays and coves. Beneath the aquamarine waters lies a fascinating world of coral and marine life waiting to be discovered. Island development in Malaysia started to be developing tremendously due to the high number of tourist arrival to the island. Many hotel, resort and chalet had been built by the investor and the government agencies. Natural areas were explored when tourism development had been carried out. These physical developments come with tourism activities which led to the some impacts and challenges to the coral reef. The main objective of this paper is to examine the environmental impact of island development in Malaysia focus on the coral reef and to find which activities of development affecting coral communities. This preliminary study had been conducted by collecting all the possible secondary data from various sources like Department of Marine Park, Department of Survey and Mapping Malaysia (JUPEM) and Ministry of Tourism Malaysia. This pilot study is crucial for first step of conservation action and can benefits all parties in tourism sector, from hosts to tourists, authority body, researchers and many more.
