Bhd. II. The Existing Environment Physical Environment a. Topography • At present, the southern portion of the Project Site has been disturbed and used as a borrow pit for part of the lots in Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the overall Kajang 2 development. • From the topography survey plan, Project Site is generally characterised as undulating terrains with the average elevations ranging from RL60m to RL80m above mean sea level. • The highest ground (approximately RL 100.39m) lies at the flat top of the hill lock in the middle portion of the Project Site while the lowest ground (approximately RL 57.61m) which is situated at the south-western portion of the Project Site. b. Hydrology • The Project Site lies within the upstream catchment of the Sg. Langat river catchment. • The surface runoff from the Project Site flows into the existing tributaries of Sg. Langat in the northern and southern boundaries of the Project Site, and flow westwards into Sg. Langat which eventually discharges into the Straits of Melaka. • Based on the site observation of the geotechnical engineers, G&P Geotechnics Sdn. Bhd., the proposed site generally is dry with no obvious seepage on the slope. However, there is one pond observed at the proposed Project Site. • There is no river or stream observed at the proposed site. However, concrete drains and the earth drains are found within the Project Site. • Altogether there are eight (8) water intake points within the Sg. Langat river catchments. Among these water intake points, the nearest water intake points is Bukit Tampoi Water Treatment Plants located 24km downstream from the Project Site. c. Geology and Soil • The Geological Map of Selangor, Sheet 94 Kuala Lumpur (2010), published by the Director-General of Geological Survey Department Malaysia shows that the Project Site is situated on the Jelebu Schist Formation. • Based on the Soil Investigation (SI) conducted by United Soil Sdn. Bhd. in August 2007, a total of eighteen (18) exploratory boreholes were drilled within the Project Site and three (3) locations of standpipe point. • Project Site generally consists of sandy SILT with gravel.

Bhd. • Hydrogeological Map of Selangor and Kuala Lumpur Federal Territory (2008) published by Jabatan Mineral and Geosains (JMG) Malaysia shows the Project Site is located on high potential aquifer regime of this region. The groundwater of the Project site flows from the north of the Project Site towards south into the valley of Sg. Langat. • Based on the Reconnaissance Soil Map ( Pindaan 2002), published by the Ministry of Agriculture, Malaysia, the Project Site is situated on Munchong-Seremban Association. d. Landuse • The main landuse components is classified under settlements & associated non-agricultural areas consist of urban and associated areas, recreation areas, main road, power line right of way, and quarry and ex-quarry which cover the total impact area i.e., 14,151.21 acres or 63.21%.
