Detailed EIA for the Proposed Expansion of 130.55 Acres Sanitary Landfill in Mukim Jeram, District of Kuala Selangor, Selangor Darul Ehsan (Rev.01). EXECUTIVE SUMMARY I. INTRODUCTION The proposed landfill expansion facility is to be constructed on 130.55 acres of State Government Land in Mukim Jeram, District of Kuala Selangor, Selangor Darul Ehsan. The Project is initiated by the Selangor State Government through its State Economic Planning Unit (UPEN). It shall be developed by Worldwide Holdings Berhad (WHB) and operated by Worldwide Landfills Sdn. Bhd. (WLSB), which is a subsidiary of the Selangor State Government, i.e., Perbadanan Kemajuan Negeri Selangor (PKNS). It will share a common boundary at the eastern side with the 160 acres existing Jeram Sanitary Landfill. The proposed expansion landfill site has been approved by Selangor State Government through their letter Ref: (40)PKNS/SUK/M/1.12 Jld.9 dated 24 March 2014 (refer to Appendix 1) and 130.55 acres land acquisition has been carried out by UPEN and obtained. The proposed expansion of the Sanitary Solid Waste Landfill at Jeram shall have a daily capacity of 1,500 - 3,000 tonnes/day with a total target of 7 million tonnes for its lifespan and is expected to provide municipal waste disposal services for the Districts of Shah Alam, Klang, Petaling, and Kuala Selangor for additional 8.3 years after the year 2017. The geographical location of the proposed Project Site is a latitude of 03o11’3.91’N and a longitude of 101o21’44.05’E at the southeastern portion of the Project Site near to existing Jeram Landfill and a latitude of 03o11’3.92’N and a longitude of 101o21’11.11’E at the southwestern portion of the Project Site. The proposed Project Site is located approximately 7km from Kapar town, 36km from Klang & Shah Alam City and 40km from Subang Jaya. Refer to Figure A for General Location of the Project Site. The Project Site is accessible via the Federal Highway (FR2), joining towards the New North Klang Straits Bypass (E30) and then through Kapar town by Federal Route 5 (Jalan Kapar), turning into State Road (B1) to the Project Site. It can also be accessed via Jalan Hj. Manan from Meru through Jalan Acob Estate to the site. At present, the whole of the Project Site is an oil palm estate within Tuan Mee Estate and well accesible through the existing main road (Jalan Bukit Kerayong). The existing Jeram Sanitary Landfill is located at the eastern boundary of the Project Site (refer to to Figure B: Current Condition On- site). Based on the Topography Map, the nearest settlement area to the Project Site is Taman Permai Jeram. However, based on Field Survey, the nearest workers settlement is Tuan Mee Estate Worker Quarters and Worker Quarters at Bukit Cloh Estate, which are located approximately 800m and 820m southeastern and southwestern portion respectively from the Project Site.

STATEMENT OF NEED Currently, the existing Jeram Sanitary Landfill is operated by WLSB under a 25 year concession agreement with the Selangor State Government. The landfill size is 160 acres and it is designed with a capacity to hold 8 million tonnes of wastes. Approximately 2,500 tonnes of wastes is disposed off at the landfill every day, and to-date 7.1 million tonnes of wastes has been added to the landfill. WLSB estimates that the existing landfill site will be ready for closure by 2017. Hence, the State is in the planning stage to acquire 130.55 acres land adjacent to the existing site to extend the lifetime of this landfill. Justification The proposed expansion of Jeram Sanitary Solid Waste Landfill in Jeram is crucially needed for the following reasons: Based on Ministry of Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government (KPKT), out of the 17 sanitary landfill sites in Malaysia, 3 sanitary landfill sites are located in Negeri Selangor including the existing Jeram Sanitary Landfill. Furthermore, the other two (2) sanitary landfill sites which are used to receive municipal wastes from Selangor and Kuala Lumpur areas, i.e., the Bukit Tagar Sanitary Landfill and Tanjung Dua Belas sanitary landfill are situated very far away approximately 70km and 80km respectively from this proposed site and Districts of Shah Alam, Klang and Kuala Selangor. Therefore, these two (2) sanitary landfill sites are not an ideal site for the solid wastes disposal for the Districts in Klang, Shah Alam and Kuala Selangor. With the increased generation of municipal solid waste, the growing population and activities in the districts of Shah Alam, Klang and Kuala Selangor, coupled with the diminishing waste disposal capacity in the existing sanitary landfill facilities in Jeram, this has raised the urgency for expansion development of appropriate waste treatment and disposal facilities. It is, therefore, crucial that the existing area of the Jeram Sanitary Landfill facilities to be expanded in order to cater for the growing population, expansion of the land use and development and its associated activities. To improve and enhance the rate material recover from waste consistent with the Government of Malaysia’s recycling target of 22% by 2020. Through this proposed expansion of Jeram sanitary landfill, approximately 50 tonnes per day material recycling facilities operation can be continued in the existing Jeram Landfill. To be in line with one of the key points of the 10th Malaysia Plan (2011-2015) and 11th Malaysia Plan (2016-2020) to only provide sanitary landfills for solid waste disposal.
