Executive Summary Executive Summary 1 Introduction Tanjung Pinang Development (TPD) Sdn. Bhd. is currently undertaking a land reclamation project called Seri Tanjung Pinang Phase 2 (STP2) following its Detailed Environmental Impact Assessment (DEIA) approval. STP2 is planned to be located adjacent to the existing Seri Tanjung Pinang Phase 1 (STP1) at Tanjung Tokong, Penang. One of the components of STP2’s top side development that TPD wishes to pursue is the construction of a green wastewater treatment plant (gWTP). This report shall address the EIA study on the Proposed Construction of Green Wastewater Treatment Plant (gWTP). 2 Project Background Seri Tanjung Pinang as a whole is a development of a new township. STP1 with an acreage of 240 acres of headland adopted the concept of a waterfront lifestyle. STP2 on the other hand will offer an island waterfront community with 760 acres of land. STP2 shall comprise of a combination sumptuous residences with commercial facilities. Consequently, a study was done by Jurutera TSSC Lim Sdn. Bhd. to evaluate the sewerage system of the existing STP1 and to-be-reclaimed land STP2. The study became the pioneer of the proposed Green Wastewater Treatment Plant (gWTP) that will be able to accommodate 180,000 population Environmental Impact Assessment ES-1 Dr. Nik & Associates Sdn. Bhd. equivalent (PE). The construction and design of the gWTP shall be taken up by Uniti Consultans Sdn. Bhd; under the guidelines and advice from related authorities. 3 Project Proponent and Consultant The Project Proponent is Tanjung Pinang Development Sdn. Bhd. (a subsidiary of Eastern and Oriental Berhad). The consultant appointed to conduct this Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) study is Dr. Nik & Associates Sdn. Bhd. 4 Statement of Need The sewage generation rate projected from STP2 development is expected to be 40,500 m3/day which is equivalent to the flow rate of ten large petrochemical plants. This signifies the potential negative implication of the sewage flow if it is not properly taken care of. A gWTP built on site was opted against the alternative plan which is to direct the sewage from STP2 to Jelutong Wastewater Treatment Plant due to its lack of feasibility i.e. energy and cost. Moreover, the proposed gWTP will be able to produce recycled water and bio-fertilizer as a byproduct that can cater the demands from Penang Island and Prai. In addition, the green technology concept reduces the energy footprint of the treatment plant as it only requires 5 acres of land instead of the allocated 16 acres originally. 5 Project Description 5.1 Project Location The proposed gWTP with an area of 5 acres will be constructed at the south region of to-be-reclaimed island STP2. STP2 is situated within a 7 km bay north of Penang Straits along the coastline between Tanjung Tokong and Gurney Drive. Prominent suburbs nearby the Proposed Project are Gurney Drive, Bagan Jermal and Tanjung Bungah. Figure E1 shows STP2’s general layout and the location of the Proposed Project situated on STP2.

Bhd. 5.2 General Site Description The nearest urban settlement is approximately 1 km from the Proposed Project area which is Seri Tanjung Pinang Phase 1 (STP1). STP1 generally comprises of mixed development area. Since STP2 is yet to be reclaimed, the immediate surrounding area of the proposed project site is only the sea. Based on STP2 master layout plan, the gWTP is located near a designated commercial and affordable housing area. Tanjung Tokong is considered a dense housing area for the low to middle income population. Apart from Tanjung Tokong, Gurney Drive is the most prominent area located near the proposed site. STP2 is planned to be a sustainable development that is able to support the needs of the Penang community and its environment. 5.3 Project Concept The principle adopted in the gWTP is “Sewage to Resources”, where the sewage treated is able recover renewable resources i.e. water and bio- fertiliser which are in high demand by Penang and Prai. The gWTP is designed to produce effluent with BOD of 8 mg/l with other major parameters that meet Class II water of the National Water Quality Standard (NWQS). Table E1 is a comparison of the designed effluent quality with Standard A of Second Schedule of Environmental Quality (Sewage Effluent) Regulations 2009.

The Jesuit educational journey aims to develop people of conscience, competence, compassion and commitment who strive to build a better world. Forming intellectually competent, good and virtuous young people through education has been the work of Jesuit schools since 1548. Throughout the world Jesuit and Ignatian schools have consistently produced the best and brightest in fields as diverse as literature, politics, science, sport and business, and even more importantly developed people able to ‘set the world on fire’ (St Ignatius). Message from the Principal Stonyhurst is a school which constantly looks to innovate and use its history and traditions as a lens on the present and the future. The opening of Stonyhurst International School, Penang will mark one of the most exciting and significant developments in our 425 years of history and we look forward to welcoming our first pupils. At the heart of everything we do is delivering an exceptional education for our pupils and ensuring that their formation, both inside and outside of the classroom, is the best in the world. We empower them to be the best that they can be, shaping leaders of the future. The Jesuit values upon which Stonyhurst was founded in 1593 continue to underpin everything we do today.

  • The Impacts of Coastal Reclamation to the Quality of Life of Tanjung Tokong Community, Penang
    THE IMPACTS OF COASTAL RECLAMATION TO THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF TANJUNG TOKONG COMMUNITY, PENANG Nadzhirah Mohd Nadzir , Mansor Ibrahim & Mazlina Mansor International Islamic University ABSTRACT Many studies had shown that coastal area serves the economic functions including supporting aquaculture activities, tourism, transportation, mining, communication and facilitating navigation. These activities resulted in rapid population growth within the coastal areas. A coastal reclamation becomes one of the solutions to overcome the growing population in the coastal area. However, coastal reclamation might have positive and negative impacts to the employment and income of the existing community who are depending on the economic resources of the coastal areas. This paper presents the impacts of coastal reclamation to the community in Tanjung Tokong, Penang which focuses on the aspects of employment and income. It draws literatures from various local and international publications and also from government reports and publications. The data were collected through questionnaire survey and interview. Additionally, the survey questionnaire was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS). The results show that there are changes in type of profession and difference in mean of salary before and after the reclamation, however statistically there is no significant difference. The findings also suggested that only a minority community involve in profession shifting. As a result, it is recommended that community should take advantage from the coastal reclamation development in terms of tourism and employment provided by the developer as coastal area has a unique character. Keywords: Coastal reclamation; employment; income; economics; built environment INTRODUCTION Knowingly, that most of the population can be found living close to the coastal area as compared to other area (Majid, 1985).
