CHAPTER 6 EXISTING ENVIRONMENT

6.1 INTRODUCTION This section highlights the existing environmental condition in three (3) major components, namely physicochemical, biological and human within the Project’s vicinity.

Information presented here is primarily to present an overview of existing environmental conditions surrounding the project site within 5 km radius which is then assessed for identification of the environmental receptors due to this Project and any concerned existing conditions that are likely to be impacted by the Project implementation. For the EIA Study, the Zone of Study extends for five (5) km radius from the boundary of the Project Site.

[Zone of Study – is the boundary of the study area for baseline data collection. Zone of Study may not be the same as the Zone of Impact for assessment conducted. In the event, the assessment impacts are found extended or beyond the Zone of Study, this will be addressed accordingly]

Assessment of the existing environmental condition will be documented according to site surveys and published secondary data (i.e. maps, reports, local plans) made available by the relevant government agencies. Following sections presents the existing information gathered via available documents.

6.2 PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT 6.2.1 Site Physical Setting

The proposed Project lies within existing IISM premise. The entire IISM is located at Lot 6293, 6294, 60129, 60130 and 60131 within establish heavy industrial area, Teluk Kalung Industrial Estate (TKIE) in Kemaman, Terengganu. The location of IISM Plant is as shown in Chapter 1, Figure 1-1. The land is owned by the Eastern Steel with total land area of approximately 1,208 ac. The nearest township is Chukai Town, which located about 10 km to the south. Kerteh Town is about 25 km away northeast of the Project. The Project site presently falls under mukim Kemaman and the District of Kemaman and is under administrative area of Majlis Perbandaran Kemaman (MPK).

6.2.2 Topography

Project site is located in Teluk Kalung Industrial Estate (TKIE). The TKIE stretched from the area around Bukit Setongkol (north) to the coast near Kemaman Port. The original topography of the Project site was low lying and flat area with an elevation of lower than 20 m, as it was previously swampland. Topography map of Project Site is shown in Figure 6-1.

Page 6-1

However, over the time, the area has been filled to the desired platform level and well developed where a large tract of the industrial area is sited on flat surface. Hence, current topography of the Eastern Steel is relatively flat with the highest level is at 98.3m at southern section and 92.0m at northern section.

6.2.3 Geology

The TKIE is underlained by predominantly unconsolidated sediment from the Quaternary age. The sediment consists of clay, silt and sandy material with accompanying lenses interbedded with main soil layers. Based on the Geology Map of Peninsular Malaysia, the underlaying soil composition of the Project site is characterized as peat, humic clay and silt (Figure 6-2).

6.2.4 Soil

Based on the Reconnaissance Soil Map of Peninsular Malaysia, the underlying soil composition of the Project site is characterized as peat. Table 6-1 tabulate baseline result of soil investigation study conducted in December 2007 and generalized soil map of Project site is illustrated in Figure 6-3.

6.5 METEOROLOGY The general climate of the Project site is similar to the rest of Peninsular Malaysia being equatorial with high annual rainfall and relatively uniform high humidity and temperature or commonly known as hot and humid. There is a seasonal rhythm controlled largely by the synoptic wind system. According to Dale, 1956, 1959, four seasons can be recognized within any year: -

a) Northeast Monsoon (November until March) b) Intermonsoonal or transitional season (April to May) c) Southwest Monsoon (May to September) d) Intermonsoonal of transitional season (October to early November)

The climate information obtained is based on data collected from the nearest meteorological station, Hospital Kemaman Meteorological station (Latitude: 4o 13’ 53” N and Longitude: 103o 25’ 14” E) and Kertih Meteorological station (Latitude: 4o 32’ 24” N and Longitude: 103o 25’ 45” E). The data was collected from year 2008 to 2018 for Hospital Kemaman Meteorological station and from year 2016 to 2018 for Kerteh Meteorological station. The wind data from Kerteh Meteorological station was observed starting only from year 2016. Hospital Kemaman is situated approximately 6.5 km from the Project site boundary, meanwhile Kerteh Station is located approximately at 27 km.

6.5.1 Rainfall

The data for rainfall and number of rain day are from year 2008 to year 2018. The average annual rainfall was between 2008 and 2018 is 2714 mm with annual mean rain day of 174 days. The monthly rainfall and rain days peaks during the Northeast- monsoon season which is in December where mean monthly rainfall and rain day were recorded highest at 1730 mm (24 days) (Chart 6-1).

6.5.2 Temperature and Relative Humidity

Table 6-6 shows the summary record for the temperature and relative humidity for year 2008 to 2018 at Hospital Kemaman Station. The mean daily temperature recorded for these 11 years ranged from 25.0°C (mean daily minimum) to 29.4°C (mean daily maximum) while the annual 24 hours mean temperature was recorded 27.3°C. Hence, based on the record, May and April are the hottest month. The annual mean relative humidity for 24 hours was 85.0%. The highest and lowest humidity were recorded in December and April with readings of 85.9% and 82.9% respectively. Chart 6-2 shows the long-term 24-hour mean annual temperature.

6.5.3 Wind

The annual wind rose is based on the principal annual wind directions and speeds averaged over the period 2016 to 2018 at Kerteh Station (Chart 6-3). The annual mean speed recorded is 1.6 m/s and the percentage frequency of calm is 19.0%. The predominant wind was blowing from north with percentage of 41.3%, where the wind data indicated that 36.0% of the wind speed was between 0.3 to 1.5 m/s, 30.9% in the range of 1.6 m/s to 3.3 m/s,13.6% between 3.4 m/s to 5.4 m/s and the balance was in category of 5.5 m/s to 7.9 m/s.

Meanwhile for seasonal wind, generally it blows in all directions. However, the wind tends to predominant in certain direction depending on the monsoon period. During

6.6 HYDROLOGY The Project site is currently occupied with secondary forest vegetation and within the catchment of Sg. Cukai. Figure 6-6 shows the hydrology flow scheme to downstream of Sg. Cukai. The Project site falls under the Kuantan Hydrological region, which covers an area of approximately 3740 km2. The nearest river is Sg. Cukai, located least than 1 km to the west of the Project Site which flowing toward South and eventually join with Sg. Kemaman and finally discharges in the South China Sea. Sg. Ibuk is found flowing from north to the south at the west part about Project site about 3.17 km before confluence into Sg. Cukai. But no water intake points nearby the project site. The water intake points located at Loji Air Cherul (4º 6' 35" N 103º 11' 50" E) and Loji Air Bukit Sah (4°13'00.0"N 103°19'10.0"E).

The drainage system for stormwater and premise parameter drains flows toward the existing 5 Sedimentation/Detention Ponds within the IISM before discharged into Sg. Teluk Kalung and into Sg. Ruang. The drainage system of the Proposed Project as shown in Figure 6-8 and Figure 6-9. A separated drainage system is designed for process water and other process related areas and this does not mixed with the storm water. Current sewage will be treated in the existing septic tank for a total population 138 PE of which has been approved by IWK by letter dated 2nd Sept 2014, ref. no.: IWK/C/TR007/12/084. Detail approval and location of existing and proposed septic location is appended in Appendix C. Water sensitive receptors within 500 m of Project site is presented in Table 6-7.

6.7 GROUNDWATER

There are no groundwater schemes within the Project site. Based on the National Water Resources Study 2000-2050 for Terengganu, the nearest groundwater investigation study was conducted in Kg. Beris Merga, Kijal which is approximately 12 km from the Project site. The suggested yield for this well is 22 m3/hr. however, according to DID Kemaman confirmed that the well was not further developed due to poor groundwater yield.

Page 6-24

Hydrogeologcial map of Project Site as illustrated in Figure 6-7 shows that, there is an active well at Cukai with very high potential aquifer and usage of the well is for industrial usage. No water analysis is conducted for this well. The proposed project is located in designated industrial area and no groundwater well is used in this area or in the village nearby. In addition, the IISM Plant also not generate process water and do not use groundwater for cooling process.

The ambient air quality monitoring results are compared with the baseline data in Y2008 as well as ambient air quality standard value by 2020 (Standard 2020) as stipulated in Malaysian Ambient Air Quality Standards (MAAQS) 2013. The detailed laboratory results are attached in Appendix D.

Based on the periodic ambient air quality monitoring results at A1 (Project Site), it 3 shown that PM10 level was mostly complied with the Standard Limit of 100 µg/m ; except in June 2019 which was detected 145 µg/m3. For the other months the 3 3 monitoring results ranging between 41 µg/m to 99 µg/m . PM2.5 monitoring results were ranging between 16 µg/m3 to 123 µg/m3. The high levels recorded were 65 µg/m3 and 123 µg/m3 in February 2019 and June 2019 respectively which exceed the Standard 3 Limit of 35 µg/m . The high level of dust (PM10 & PM2.5) is only detected occasionally and localized at the site. In July 2019, the PM10 and PM2.5 were detected well below the 3 3 limits at 50 µg/m and 23 µg/m respectively. Sulphur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen dioxide

(NO2) were not detected in the monitoring exercise. For heavy metals, only Iron (Fe) was detected once in March 2019 with 1.25 µg/m3 and the rest of the heavy metals namely Cadmium (Cd), Chromium (Cr), Copper (Cu), Lead (Pb) and Mercury (Hg) were

Page 6-30

3 As for A2 (Kg Bukit Anak Dara), PM10 complied with the Standard Limit of 100 µg/m with monitoring results ranging between 40 µg/m3 to 89 µg/m3. Meanwhile periodic 3 3 monitoring results for PM2.5 were ranging from 19 µg/m to 46 µg/m . Slight exceedances than the Standard Limit of 35 µg/m3 recorded in Jan 2019 (46 µg/m3), Feb 2019 (38 µg/m3), Mar 2019 (37 µg/m3), May 2019 (41 µg/m3), Jun 2019 (45 µg/m3) and 3 July 2019 (38 µg/m ). However, the PM2.5 results were fully complied with the limit of 50 3 µg/m set in the interim target 2 (IT-2) in 2018. SO2 and NO2 were not detected. Among heavy metals monitored, only Chromium (Cr) and Iron (Fe) were detected in low level in December 2018, March 2019 and June 2019. Cr was ranging between 0.03 µg/m3 - 0.070 µg/m3 and 0.54 µg/m3 - 1.59 µg/m3 for Fe. Since no available ambient air standard limit for both Cr and Fe in Malaysia, when compared with the OAAQC 2012 reference limits, both the Cr and Fe levels were well below the limit of 0.5 µg/m3 (Cr) and 4 µg/m3 (Fe). CO was detected in low level mostly <0.5-0.7 mg/m3.

At A3 (Kawasan Perumahan Bukit Kuang), monitoring results for PM10 were ranging between 42 µg/m3 to 93 µg/m3 which fully complied the Standard Limit of 100 µg/m3. As for PM2.5, October - December 2018 and July 2019 complied with the Standard Limit of 3 35 µg/m . Meanwhile for January – May 2019, the PM2.5 were exceeded the Standard 3 3 Limit of 35 µg/m but complied with the IT-2:2018 limit of 50 µg/m . PM2.5 in June 2019 3 was detected slightly higher than the IT-2:2018 limit with 53 µg/m . SO2 and NO2 were not detected. For heavy metals, Cr was detected only once in June 2019 (0.040 µg/m3) and Fe was detected in December 2018, March 2019 and June 2019 ranging between 0.09-0.90 µg/m3. Both the Cr and Fe levels were well below the OAAQC 2012 reference limits of 0.5 µg/m3 (Cr) and 4 µg/m3 (Fe). CO monitoring results was detected in low level mostly <0.5-0.7 mg/m3.

Periodic PM10 monitoring results at A4 (Proposed Worker Quarter in New Phase) were fully complied with the Standard Limit of 100 µg/m3 for September 2018 – July 2019.

While PM2.5, the results recorded in October and December 2018, January 2019, March 2019 and May 2019 were complied with the Standard Limit; ranging between 23-30 3 µg/m . The PM2.5 exceedances were detected in November 2018, February 2019, June 2019 and July 2019; however, the levels were still below the IT-2:2018 limit of 50 µg/m3. 3 SO2 was not detected while NO2 was detected in December 2018 (7 µg/m ) and 3 January 2019 (43 µg/m ). In which, NO2 was well below the Standard Limit of 280 µg/m3. For heavy metals, Cr and Pb were only detected in June 2019 which were 0.040 µg/m3 and 0.07 µg/m3 respectively. Fe was detected in December 2018, March 2019 and June 2019 which were 0.73 µg/m3, 0.16 µg/m3 and 0.56 µg/m3. The present of all these three heavy metals (Cr, Pb & Fe) are well below the respective Standard Limits/ OAAQC 2012 reference limits. CO monitoring results was detected in low level mostly <0.5-0.7 mg/m3.

Page 6-31

For this EIA study purpose, A5 (Kg Baharu Mak Cili) was monitored in June 2019. All the monitored parameters were fully complied with the Standard Limits. In which, PM10 3 3 and PM2.5 were detected at 73 µg/m and 34 µg/m respectively. SO2 and CO were not 3 3 detected. NO2 was detected at 35 µg/m . As for heavy metal, Cr (0.040 µg/m ) and Fe (0.67 µg/m3) were detected in low levels.

Additionally, in June 2019, there were three (3) addition parameters were sampled for all five (5) monitoring stations which are; Dioxin and Furan, Mercury (Hg) and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). In which, VOCs were not detected (or below detection limit of 10 µg/m3) at all monitoring stations. Hg were detected at A2 and A5 with the value of 0.044 µg/m3 and 0.06 µg/m3; however, it was still below the OAAQC 2012 reference limit of 2 µg/m3. As for dioxin and furan, it was detected at very low concentration. At A1 was 0.000004 I-TEQ ng/m3 (min) - 0.000005 I-TEQ ng/m3 (max); at A2 was 0.000003 I-TEQ ng/m3 (min) - 0.000004 I-TEQ ng/m3 (max); at A3 were 0.000001 I-TEQ ng/m3 (min) - 0.000002 I-TEQ ng/m3 (max); at A4 were 0.000013 I-TEQ ng/m3 (min) - 0.000014 I-TEQ ng/m3 (min); and at A5 was 0.000005 I-TEQ ng/m3. The levels of dioxin and furan detected were well below the OAAQC 2012 reference limit of 0.1 pg TEQ/m3.

In overall, the ambient air quality in this area is generally good and well below the respective MAAQS 2020 and the OAAQC 2012 reference limits. Although, PM2.5 was occasionally detected slightly higher than MAAQS 2020 of 35 µg/m3. However, this shall be noted that this is due to various factors such as cumulative contribution from surrounding industrial activities in the Teluk Kalung Industrial Estate (TKIE), traffic passing by and also dry and hazy weather (especially in February 2019, where all stations were recorded exceeding the stipulated limit of 35 µg/m3). As such, the trend profile for PM10 and PM2.5 are illustrated in Graph 1 and Graph 2, respectively.

6.8.2 STACK EMISSION QUALITY

Stack emission monitoring has been conducted quarterly by the client since May 2015 to July 2019, for nine (9) existing stacks as shown in Figure 6-12. Monitoring of dust particulates concentration in the stack flue gases was carried out using isokinetic sampling technique according to method described in Malaysian Standard 1596:2003. Details of these stacks and parameters monitored are summarized as follows: -

C2 Steel Making Plant: Secondary Deduster Total Particulate Matter (Total PM)

Note: 1. Stack emission monitoring is conducted in quarterly basis, except *Dioxin and Furan is monitored once a year (yearly basis) for Stack A2. 2. For EIA study purposes, additional parameters namely #Cadmium (Cd), #Chromium (Cr), #Iron (Fe) and #Mercury (Hg) are monitored for Stack A2 (one-time off). 3. Written Notification for the existing stack has been submitted to DOE and acknowledgement was granted from DOE. DOE Letters are appended in Appendix E.

Stack emission monitoring results are tabulated in Table 6-9 – Table 6-11 and the detailed laboratory analysis reports are attached in Appendix D.

As tabulated in Table 6-9, the dust particulates concentration (as Total PM) monitored for all the stacks in July 2019 were complied with the permissible limit of 50 mg/m3, under the Environmental Quality (Clean Air) Regulations, 2014 (hereafter refer to CAR Page 6-40

2014); except for Stack B1 (Bag-Filter at Iron Making Plant Bunker). When compared with the past monitoring records, it showed that Stack A1 (Bag-Filter at Sinter Plant Dosing House), Stack B6 (Bag-Filter at Iron Making Plant Material Transfer Station 2) and Stack C2 (Bag-Filter at Steel Making Plant) were well complied with the permissible limit at all time. As for the rest of the stacks, high concentration of dust particulate matter over the emission limit of 50 mg/m3 was detected occasionally. This happened in year 2015 during the early stage of the testing and commissioning of the IISM; and also, in December 2018 and March 2019 when the IISM resumed its operation after temporary ceased of operation. Subsequently, Eastern Steel has carried out maintenance program for the air pollution control system in June 2019. With this, in July 2019 monitoring exercise, the dust emission quality for all the stacks have been improved and mostly complying the permissible limit. Continual improvement for the air pollution control system will be carried out by the Competent Person (CP) and closely monitored by the Eastern Steel Management to ensure the stack emission quality comply with the CAR 2014 limit.

Besides, for Stack A2, additional parameters such as SO2, NO2 and heavy metals were monitored. The results in Table 6-11 showed that SO2 was only detected once in July 2019 at very low concentration (6 mg/m3), which was well below the permissible limit of 3 500 mg/m . NO2 was not detected in July 2019. For heavy metals, Mercury (Hg), Cadmium (Cd) and Chromium (Cr) were not detected. Lead (Pb), Iron (Fe) and Copper (Cu) were detected in low concentrations; 0.23 mg/m3, 1.91 mg/m3 and 0.02 mg/m3 respectively.

For Stack B3 (Hot Stove at Iron Making Plant), combustion gases namely SO2 and NO2 3 were monitored as well. In July 2019, SO2 was detected low at 29 mg/m while NO2 was not detected (Table 6-11).

In overall, for the exceedances in the selected stacks, Eastern Steel has committed to ensure the stack emission is always complying the permissible limit. Corrective action such as proper preventive measure and maintenance program will be carried out for all the stacks.

6.8.3 Ambient Noise

Plant boundary noise level monitoring was carried out quarterly at four (4) stations; at northeast corner of the plant boundary (N1), at southeast corner of the plant boundary (N2), at southwest of the plant boundary (N3) and at the northwest of the plant boundary (N4) (Figure 6-10). The noise level monitoring results are presented in Table 6-12 whilst the detailed laboratory results are attached in Appendix D.

In June 2019, the average LAeq noise level during daytime at all stations were ranging from 52 dBA - 59.2 dBA, which were complied with the stipulated limit 65 dBA in the EIA Approval Condition No.36, and proposed limit of 70 dBA as per the Approved EMP (Operation) 2015 and The Planning Guidelines for Environmental Noise Limits and Control under category Designated Industrial Zones.

During the night-time monitoring, the average LAeq noise levels in June 2019 were ranging from 49.1 dBA - 58.2 dBA. The results were found slightly exceed the stipulated limit 55 dBA in the EIA Approval Condition No.36; however, when compared to The Planning Guidelines for Environmental Noise Limits and Control under category Designated Industrial Zones which have been proposed in the Approved EMP (Operation) 2015, night time noise levels complied with the proposed limit of 60 dBA.

When compared with the previous records, it can be concluded that the noise measurement results at the plant boundary were fully complied with the Planning Guidelines for Environmental Noise Limits and Control under category Designated Industrial Zones. It is consistent with the IISM operation within the established Teluk Kalung Industrial Estate (TKIE) for heavy industry.

Possible noise sources observed during both daytime and night-time were mainly attributed from the plant operational activities, transportation of raw materials and products, as well as equipment and machinery noise. Besides, substantial contribution is from the traffic noise along the main road.

6.8.4 Receiving Water Quality

For this EIA study, the periodic water quality monitoring results of the receiving waterway from the Project site are summarized and presented here. Water samples and analysis were conducted at five (5) water monitoring stations as listed below and shown in Figure 6-10.

The samples were analyzed for the Full Standard B parameters of Environmental Quality (Industrial Effluent) Regulations 2009 and the results will then be compared against with the Class III limit of the National Water Quality Standards for Malaysia.

The summary of the results is as tabulated in Table 6-13 and the detailed laboratory analysis results are attached in Appendix D. In which, the baseline monitoring results in year 2008 were also tabulated for reference.

In general, the periodic water quality monitoring results were mostly complied with the Class III limits of the National Water Quality Standards (NWQS) with some exceedances detected for pH and ammoniacal nitrogen (NH3-N). Meanwhile, most of the parameters were not detected in these sampling exercises for all monitoring stations which are BOD, Phenol, Free Chlorine, Sulfide, oil and grease, Formaldehyde and selected heavy metals (i.e. Hg, Cd, Cr6+, Cr3+, As, CN, Pb, Cu, Ni, Sn and Se).

The water quality for W1 (Sg Teluk Kalung, Upstream of the Project site) in March 2019 showed that the pH level was alkali with value of 10.1 and later in June 2019 was detected at 7.7, which was relatively neutral similar with previous quarters. Since the W1 station is located at upstream of project site, therefore this exceptional high value of pH water not contributed from the Project site. DO level was detected better than the Class III limits of 3-5 mg/l in March 2019 (6.1 mg/l) and June 2019 (5.3 mg/l). This was constantly maintained when compared with the baseline data. BOD was not detected, and COD was detected below than the Class III limit of 50 mg/l. Among the metals monitored and analyzed for, only Mn, Zn, B, Fe, Ag, Al and Ba were detected present while the rest were not detected. Mn was found above the Class III limit of 0.1 mg/l in August 2015, September 2018 and December 2018 with 0.43 mg/l, 0.47 mg/l Page 6-47

Ammoniacal Nitrogen (NH3-N) was detected above the Class III limit of 0.9 mg/l in March 2019 (1.0 mg/l) while in June 2019 was below the Class III limit with 0.5 mg/l.

Ammoniacal Nitrogen (NH3-N) was fluctuated with 1.4 mg/l (August 2015), 0.8 mg/l (September 2018) and 5.8 mg/l (December 2018). This was contributed by the upstream activities i.e. from the decay of discharged organic compound from the neighbour industries.

Further down the Sg Teluk Kalung at W2 (Downstream of the Project site), the water was relatively neutral with pH 7 (March 2019) and pH 7.8 (June 2019); which is better when compared with the previous years in 2008 and 2018 (pH 3.45-3.75). DO was slightly better than the Class III limit while concentration of COD and TSS were detected below the Class III limits, at 14 – 81 mg/l and 52 - 64 mg/l respectively. Metals that present in trace amount were Mn (0.08 mg/l), Cu (0.04 mg/l), Zn (0.03-0.19 mg/l), B (2.0 mg/l), Fe (0.5-0.74 mg/l), Al (0.58 mg/l) and Ag (0.06 mg/l). Fluoride (F) and colour were detected at 0.6-0.9 mg/l and 10-30 TCU, respectively. Ammoniacal

Nitrogen (NH3-N) was exceeded the Class III limit of 0.9 mg/l with reading of 1-4.8 mg/l.

W3 is located at upstream of Project site, at Sg Cukai. Analysis results showed that the water quality for W3 was relatively acidic in September 2018 and December 2018 with pH 4.6 and pH 4.3. Since W3 is located at upstream of the Project site hence no indication from the Project site and this may cause by upstream activities. However, the water become neutral (pH 7.1) in both March 2019 and June 2019. DO was slightly better than the Class III limit while BOD was below detection limit. Other parameters were complied with Class III limit with either in low concentration or not detected. Except for Ammoniacal Nitrogen (NH3-N), which was fluctuated from 0.7 mg/l (March 2019) to 9.1 mg/l (June 2019) similar for previous quarters.

The water quality at W4 (Sg Ruang, upstream of the Project site) was observed slightly polluted and fall in between Class II - Class III category. The water was neutral (pH 7.1 - 7.7). BOD was not detected where DO, COD and TSS were detected at 5.3 - 5.6 mg/l, 25-91 mg/l and 46 - 68 mg/l, respectively. For the metal monitored, infrequent exceedances were only detected for Mn, Fe and Ag. Ammoniacal Nitrogen

(NH3-N) was detected well above the Class III limit of 0.9 mg/l with concentration of 0.5 - 0.8 mg/l.

At the confluence point of Sg. Cukai and Sg. Ruang, downstream of Project Site (W5), the water quality for W5 was slightly polluted and fall in between Class II - Class III category. The pH reading was detected at pH 7.4 – 7.8. DO was slightly better than the Class III limit with 5.4 mg/l. COD was detected below the Class III limit in March 2019 (23 mg/l) but exceeded the limit in June 2019 (94 mg/l). Most likely the high concentration of COD was contributed from Sg Ruang, upstream of the Project site as

Page 6-48

Ammoniacal Nitrogen (NH3-N) was detected within 0.2 - 0.3 mg/l, well below the Class III limit of 0.9 mg/l.

In overall, the water quality in the vicinity of the Project site were fall in Class II – Class III category. In addition, it shall be noted that the operation of Eastern Steel IISM is mainly dry process and does not generate any process effluent. Hence, it is consistent with the water quality at W5 where the final receiving point for the Project site is tested slightly polluted and fall in between Class II - Class III category.

The trend profiles for COD, TSS, Ammoniacal Nitrogen, Manganese and Iron concentration are illustrated in Graph 3 to 7.

6.8.5 Retention Pond Discharge Quality

Monitoring of silt trap discharge for Oil & Grease (O&G) and Total Suspended Solids (TSS) were sampled at the final discharge outlet of retention ponds; namely Pond 1 (ST1), Pond 2 (ST2), Pond 3 (ST3), Pond 4 (ST4) and Pond 5 (ST5) as shown in Figure 6-11. The monitoring has been conducted quarterly and summary of results is shown in Table 6-14. For the EIA study, although there is no industrial effluent discharge from the site, additional round of monitoring was conducted for full Standard B parameters of Environmental Quality (Industrial Effluent) Regulations 2009 as baseline data for the Project. The results are presented in Table 6-15.

Monitoring Station Description Coordinates ST1 Silt Trap No. 1 [N 04°17’31.9”; E 103°26’06.5”] ST2 Silt Trap No. 2 [N 04°17’31.5”; E 103°25’46.4”] ST3 Silt Trap No. 3 [N 04°16’52.5”; E 103°26’03.2”] ST4 Silt Trap No. 4 [N 04°17’14.4”; E 103°25’25.3”] ST5 Silt Trap No. 5 [N 04°16’59.0”; E 103°25’25.5”]

Refer to periodic results, oil and grease were not detected (<1 mg/l) in all these ponds. The water samples collected at these slit traps showed that TSS concentration was complied with the permissible limit of 100 mg/l. In June 2019, there were no discharge recorded in ST1, ST2, ST3 and ST4. In summary, TSS recorded for ST1, ST2, ST3, ST4 and ST5 were 2 - 17 mg/l, <2 - 8 mg/l, 5 - 60 mg/l, 5 - 19 mg/l and 4 - 28 mg/l respectively.

Besides, for the full Standard B parameters testing and analysis, monitoring was conducted once for all 5 retention ponds; in September 2019 for ST1 to ST4 and June 2019 for ST5. When compared with the Standard B of the Environmental Quality (Industrial Effluent) Regulations 2009, all the water samples were well below the stipulated standard limit. Except for boron, detected slightly higher than limit of 4 mg/l in ST1.

Refer to the results, the pH level at all retention ponds complied with the Standard B Limit of 5.5-9.0 which were ranging between 7.64 to 8.89. DO results within the range of 5.7-6.28 mg/l.

The BOD was not detected at all retention ponds whereas at ST3 it was detected at 3 mg/l which below the Standard B Limit of 50mg/l. As for COD, the concentration was detected below the Standard B Limit which were ranging between 21 mg/l to 51 mg/l. TSS were detected at 20 mg/l (ST1), 17 mg/l (ST2), 25 mg/l (ST3), 16 mg/l (ST4) and 26 mg/l (ST5) which complied with Standard B Limit of 100 mg/l.

Heavy metals analysed for all retention ponds showed that most of these heavy metals namely Mercury, Cadmium, Chromium, Arsenic, Cyanide, Lead, Copper, Nickel, Tin, Selenium and Barium were not detected. However, Boron was detected above the Standard B Limit of 4 mg/l at ST1 which was 4.3 mg/l whereas others were complied and at ST3 was not detected. Iron was detected ranging between 0.15 mg/l to 1.8 mg/l while silver was not detected at ST1 and ST5. Aluminium was not detected at all retention ponds except at ST5 which was 0.22 mg/l.

Fluoride was detected at 1.6 mg/l (ST1), 0.9 mg/l (ST2), 2 mg/l (ST3), 0.2 mg/l (ST4 & ST5) while phenol was detected ranging between 0.1-0.3 mg/l. Free chlorine, sulphide, Oil and Grease and formaldehyde were not detected.

Ammoniacal Nitrogen was detected below the Standard B Limit of 20 mg/l between the range of 0.1 mg/l to 4.4 mg/l.

6.8.6 Groundwater Quality

For baseline reference, groundwater quality monitoring was carried in June 2019 at the three (3) stations; as listed below and illustrated in Figure 6-11.

Monitoring Description Coordinates Station [N 04°28’67.85”; G1 At Open Space near to Sinter Plant Area. E 103°42’74.97”] [N 04°28’32.88”; G2 At Raw Material Yard near to Wash Trough E 103°42’64.37”] [N 04°28’ 30.52”; G3 At Southwest of the Project Site, near to Raw Material Yard E 103°42’38.12”]

The groundwater results are shown in Table 6-16. Since the groundwater quality standards for Malaysia is still not established yet hence the results will be compared with the National Guidelines for Raw Drinking Water Quality, Revised December 2010 as the benchmark. The detailed laboratory analysis results are attached in Appendix D

The groundwater quality monitoring results were generally complied with the National Guidelines for Raw Drinking Water Quality.

For the physical and aggregate properties, there are a few parameters that were being conducted; conductivity, pH value, temperature, total dissolved solids, total hardness as CaCO3, turbidity and colour. The conductivity was within the range of 3130 – 7370 μS/cm. All the 3 groundwater samples (G1-G3) was slightly acidic with the pH range of 5.8 – 6.2 at temperature range of 23.5 – 23.7°C. The total dissolved solids for all three points were above the Raw Drinking Water Quality limit of 1000 mg/l. G2 contain the highest total dissolved solids of 5210 mg/l meanwhile G1 and

G3 were 1730 mg/l and 1720 mg/l respectively. For the total hardness as CaCO3, only G1 and G3 complied with the Raw Drinking Water Quality which does not exceed the limit of 500 mg/l meanwhile in G2, it measured at 688 mg/l. In term of turbidity, all three groundwater samples exceed the Raw Drinking Water Quality limit of 5 NTU; G1 (1000 NTU), G2 (1820 NTU) and G3 (1070 NTU). While, the colour is measured with value of 1000 TCU for G1 and 1400 TCU for G2 and G3, all above 15 TCU. Chemical oxygen demand (COD) for G1, G2 and G3 were 50 mg/l, 52 mg/l and 88 mg/l respectively.

For the aggregate organics, the parameter that conducted were anionic surfactants as MBAS, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), mineral oils and total phenols. Only biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) was detected with the value of 20 mg/l for G1 and G2 meanwhile for G3 was 42 mg/l.

The inorganic and non-metallic properties parameter were ammonia, chloride, fluoride, nitrate, nitrite, sulphate and total cyanide. Total cyanide was not present in Page 6-60

EIA for the Proposed Development of 55MW Gas Fired Power Plant and Project No: P18006 New Plant Components at the Integrated Iron and Steel Mill, Teluk Kalung Revision: 0 Industrial Estate, Kemaman, Terengganu for Eastern Steel Sdn. Bhd. Date: October 2019 all three monitoring points; while, ammonia and chloride were detected exceed the limit in all three monitoring stations. Whereas, the ammonia levels were 6.94 mg/l for G1, 12.1 mg/l for G2 and 7.63 mg/l for G3 which exceed the limit of 1.5 mg/l. The chloride level for G1, G2 and G3 were 490 mg/l, 2310 mg/l and 442 mg/l respectively which exceed the permissible limit of 250 mg/l. Fluoride at G1 and G3 complied with the limit with the value of 0.2 mg/l meanwhile at G2 it exceeds the limit with the value of 0.7 mg/l. For nitrate, it was not detected at G1 meanwhile at G2 and G3, the levels were 0.68 mg/l and 0.35 mg/l respectively which comply with the limit of 10mg/l. The value for nitrate at G1, G2 and G3 were 0.02 mg/l, 0.03 mg/l and 0.02 mg/l respectively. Sulphate was ranging from 7 mg/l to 66 mg/l, which were below the limit of 250 mg/l.

Parameters that conducted for metals and major cations were arsenic, chromium, cadmium, copper, iron, lead, magnesium, manganese, mercury, nickel, selenium, silver, sodium and zinc. Cadmium, mercury, selenium and silver were not detected at all monitoring groundwater. Arsenic was below the limit at G3 (0.0091 mg/l) and above the limit of 0.01 mg/l at G1 and G2. Chromium and copper were all below the limit of 0.05 mg/l and 1.00 mg/l. Iron at G1, G2 and G3 was above the limit of 0.3 mg/L with 28.3 mg/l, 205 mg/l and 109 mg/l respectively. G1 and G2 shown that the lead levels were 0.0536 mg/l and 0.0256 mg/l which above the limit of 0.01 mg/l. Magnesium present at G1. G2 and G3 were 33.7 mg/l, 109 mg/l and 19.2 mg/l respectively. Nickel was detected in low concentration at G1 (0.0030 mg/l), G2 (0.0016 mg/l) and not detected at G3. Sodium levels were above the limit of 200 mg/l in all monitoring stations, where G1 (237 mg/l), G2 (937 mg/l) and G3 (206 mg/l). Zinc was measured complied with the limit of 3 mg/l in all samples.

The parameter for Phenoxy Acetic Acid Herbicides were MCPA, 2,4-D (dichlorophenoxy acetic acid), 2,4,5-T and 2,4-DB. None of these herbicides were detected in all monitoring point. The parameter for Pesticides were Aldrin and Dieldrin, Chlordane, Endosulfan, Lindane, Hexachlorobenzene (HCB), Heptachlor, 4,4'-DDT and Methoxychlor. None of these pesticides were detected. The amount of total coliform count in G1 and G3 were 3.6 MPN/100ml meanwhile in G2 the amount was 9.2 MPN/100ml. Escherichia coli was detected only in G2 with the value of 6.9 MPN/100ml.

Overall, since there is no available of the baseline data prior to the IISM in operation, hence these groundwater quality results shall be used as the baseline reference only. As for the results, although it was not comparative with the Raw Drinking Water Quality, however, it shall be noted that Eastern Steel had no plan on groundwater extraction for water consumption. The main water source is from SATU.

6.9 ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE COMPLIANCE STATUS

The latest Environmental Compliance Audit (ECA) which assesses the existing plant’s compliance with the Environmental Quality Act 1974 and its accompanying regulations and related approvals was conducted on 21 March 2019 by an independent third-party auditor.

Based on the audit findings, only one (1) non-compliance report (NCR) raised during the audit session, as described in Table 6-19.

Table 6-19 ECA 2019 Findings Non-Compliances Description (NCR) Oil spillage observed at the temporary scheduled waste storage area (Auxiliary)

NCR 01/01/19

Corrective action on NCR has been made by the Eastern Steel on 21st March 2019 where the oil spill collector tank has been located back to the area with cover on it to avoid rain fall water.

The ECA report concluded that five (5) good practices have been applied in IISM Plant and there are two (2) area need for improvement which is 1) Scheduled waste storage area (Sinter Plant) – operator needs to have inventory; separate new oil and used oil; build a ramp at the store entrance and paste label of the storage name outside; and 2) Operator is recommended to expedite the CEMS installation and operation.

The summary of the ECA is appended in Appendix G together with the corrective action report that has been done.

6.10 SOCIO-ECONOMIC

6.10.1 Socio-Economic and Human Environment

Existing socio-economics and human environment made up the sociological descriptions of the proposed Project, which encompasses both the baseline conditions within site and its surrounding area. Features within and surrounding the project site are acquired from site visits, whilst additional information was obtained from available published data on Majlis Perbandaran Kemaman (MPK) and Department of Statistic Malaysia (DOS).

6.10.2 Total Population

The proposed project site is located in Kemaman, under planning zone of the Majlis Perbandaran Kemaman (MPK). Planning zone of MPK is divided into eleven (11) small planning block known as BP with an administrative area of 253,559.9 hectares. In year 2010 MPK has total population of 167,824 people, with annual growth rate 5.5%. Total population under MPK areas by district until 2010 was tabulated in Table 6-20.

Table 6-25 gives the disease cases related to water pollution seen at Klinik Kesihatan Kijal in 2018. Only one food poisoning case was reported at the clinic which made up only 0.006% of all adult cases. Therefore, waterborne and foodborne diseases are not very common in the area.

Animal vectors and reservoirs may be associated with a poorly managed environment. Often, discarded containers that are improperly disposed or the presence of water within homes and surroundings may become excellent breeding sites for the mosquitoes which transmit diseases. Table 6-26 gives the disease cases related to animal vectors and reservoirs seen at Klinik Kesihatan Kijal in 2018. Only two dengue fever cases were reported, and they made up only 0.01% of all adult cases. Therefore, vectorborne diseases are also uncommon in the area.
