1.0 PROJECT TITLE

This Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Study is entitled “Second Schedule EIA for The Proposed Tin Ore Smelting and Refining Plant on Lot PT 64536, PT 64537 and PT 64538 of 12.049 Acres, Jalan Perigi Nanas 6/1, Pulau Indah Industrial Park, Westport, Port Klang, 42920 Pulau Indah, Selangor Darul Ehsan” (hereinafter referred to as "The Project").

2.0 PROJECT BACKGROUND

Malaysia Smelting Corporation Berhad (hereinafter referred to as “Project Proponent) intends to operate a new tin ore smelting and refining plant in Pulau Indah Industrial Park.

Currently, the Group's smelting facility in Butterworth operates one of the lowest cost smelting plants in the world, converting primary, secondary and often complex tin bearing ores into high purity tin metal for industrial application. The plant has a production capacity of approximately 40,000 tonnes of a refined tin a year which is produced by using reverberatory furnace technology.

However, with the rapid development and changes of land use in the surrounding area of current MSC facility in Butterworth, there is a need for MSC to find a suitable new site and set up new facility to relocate the existing operation in Butterworth.

In 2016, MSC through its subsidiary M Smelt (C) Sdn. Bhd., acquired three parcels of industrial land, plant and machinery inclusive of a production facility in Pulau Indah, Klang. The property is situated in an attractive location, which is at a mature industrial area with excellent connectivity to Westport and London Metal Exchange warehouses.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Table ES-2: Summary of the Existing Environment Parameters Description Physical Environment Topography The Project site is relatively flat. It is situated in a dedicated industrial park i.e. Pulau Indah Industrial Park where the infrastructures have been developed prior to occupancy of each industrial lot. Land Use The land use within 5-km radius from the Project site are generally dominated with human activities, i.e. industrial area, residential/ settlement area, community facilities and institutional areas. Human residential/ settlement area within the zone of impact consists of five (5) traditional villages and eight (8) modern residential. Geology Based on Geological Map of Malaysia, 2008 the Project site is consistent with a coastal plain and consists of unconsolidated deposits of quaternary alluvium; overlain by clay, silt, sand, peat with minor gravel. Soil Based on Soil Reconnaissance Map of Malaysia 2002, the Project site is identified and mapped as alluvial soil on coastal plains named as Keranji Series. Findings from Soil and Groundwater Baseline Study Report 2016 concluded that the Project site consists of sand and silty sand which was found from near surface to depth of approximately 2.0 m to 3.5 m underlain by organic clay with traces of decomposed vegetation. Hydrology and All the surface runoff from project site flows into receiving monsoon drain Drainage System from the plant site and will be released into main drain nearby Project site. The water from the main drain nearby project site flows to tributary of Sungai Perigi Nanas and finally discharges to Selat Klang at distance of approximately 0.8 km. There is no water intake point at downstream of the proposed site. Meteorology The meteorological data is obtained from the nearest meteorological station to the Project site - Station Subang Airport, Selangor i.e. surface wind, rainfall and rain days, temperature and relative humidity (records from 2008 - 2018). Water Quality Baseline water quality sampling were conducted at eight (8) selected sampling locations (W1 to W8). The results were compared to the Class III of National Water Quality Standard (NWQS) for Stations W1 to W7 and Class E of Marine Water Quality Standard and Criteria (MWQSC) for Station W8. Most of the parameters tested for Stations W1 to W7 specifically for parameters DO, BOD, COD, Ammonia and Faecal coliform. Manganese was detected beyond Class III limit at all stations sampled. Similarly, result of Iron was also exceeding the Class III limit at stations W1, W2, W5 and W6. Aluminium level at Stations W1, W3, W6 and W7 also found to be exceeding the Class III limit. Other parameters tested for Stations W1 to W7 were well within the Class III of the NWQS. As for Station W8, sample tested were observed to be within Class E (Mangrove & Estuarine) except for Ammonia, Total Cyanide and Phosphate. Soil and Groundwater A total of three (3) soil samples and nine (9) groundwater samples were Quality taken for analysis to accredited laboratory certified under Skim Akreditasi Makmal Malaysia (SAMM). The parameters analysed include Antimony, Arsenic, Cadmium, Chromium, Copper, Iron, Manganese, Nickel, Sodium, Tin, Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon (C6-C9, C10-C14, C15-C28, C29-C36), Volatile Organic Compounds, Semi-volatile Organic Compounds, pH and Dissolved Oxygen. The soil and groundwater results indicated that there

ES-8

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Parameters Description were some contamination at site that is most likely associated with the previous operation (lead recovery from lead slag, SW104 and spent acid batteries, SW102). Antimony, arsenic and lead were detected at level exceeding the CLMCG SSLs for industrial soil and tap water. Comparatively high level of manganese and sodium had been detected in the most of groundwater samples from across the site. Based on the widespread distribution of manganese and sodium level at site, it is most likely the source of manganese and sodium are from petrogenic sources (geologic origin). Ambient Air Quality Three (3) sets of ambient air quality baseline sampling were conducted in October 2017, October 2018 and March 2019 at total of nine (9) selected sampling locations (A1 to A9) for Particulate matters (PM10 and PM2.5), Sulphur dioxide (SO2) and Nitrogen dioxide (NO2), Carbon monoxide (CO) and heavy metals (Arsenic, Lead, Bismuth, Copper, Antimony, Nickel, Cobalt, Zinc, Silver, Iron and Manganese). Overall, all parameters are in compliance with the limits stipulated in the New Malaysia Ambient Air Quality Standard 2020 (NAAQS) whilst heavy metals were not detected in the recent sampling. It can be concluded that the existing ambient air quality at the Project site and its surrounding area is of good condition. Stack Emission Quality Isokinetic stack and air emission monitoring were conducted to determine the emission level at stack leading from Furnace No. 1. The monitoring was conducted in November 2018. Parameters analysed were Total Particulate Matters (Total PM), oxides of Nitrogen (NOx), Hydrogen sulphide (H2S), Hydrofluoric acid (HF), Hydrogen chloride (HCl), Chlorine gas (Cl2), Sulphuric acid (H2SO4), and heavy metals such as Copper (Cu), Zinc (Zn), Arsenic (As), Antimony (Sb), Lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd) and Mercury (Hg). Generally, the results of the isokinetic stack and air emission monitoring showed that all air pollutants level emitted from Furnace No.1 were comply to the Existing Standards stipulated under Environmental Quality (Clean Air) Regulations 2014. Ambient Noise Level Baseline ambient noise level measurement were conducted at six (6) selected monitoring locations (N1 to N6). During day time, Leq levels at all stations were within the limit of 70 dB(A). During night time, the Leq levels at all stations were within the limit of 60 dB(A) except for Station N4 due to noise from Gas Station Purging near the monitoring point. There are no major activities carried out on the surrounding monitoring station areas during the monitoring period. Biological Environment Terrestrial Flora Most of the existing environment within the Project Site and in its vicinity have been developed into industrial activities. Parts of the Site are undeveloped and being covered with grasses (Rumput kerbau (Paspalum conjugatum)). Lots at eastern, southern and western of the Site are vacant plots of land which are covered with secondary vegetation (such as Akasia Kuning (Acacia auriculiformis), Akasia Mangium (Acacia mangium) and Petai Belalang (Leucaena leucocephala)). As such, conservation value is insignificant. Terrestrial Fauna The Project Site is sited on developed industrial plots which have been occupied by previous facilities. The Site and its surrounding are considered as disturbed habitat and as such it does not support much of the wildlife. The
