EIA for the Proposed Mixed Housing and Commercial Development on Lot 66166, Mukim Tanjung Dua Belas, Daerah Kuala Langat, Selangor Darul Ehsan for Setara Hati Sdn. Bhd. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY I. Introduction to the Proposed Project This Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) study is carried out for the Proposed Mixed Housing and Commercial Development on Lot 66166, Mukim Tanjung Dua Belas, Daerah Kuala Langat, Selangor Darul Ehsan. The total Project area is 257.25 acres (104.11 ha) and the proposed Project is to be developed by Setara Hati Sdn. Bhd. The locality of the Project Site falls under the jurisdiction of Majlis Daerah Kuala Langat (MDKL). A Site Suitability Assessment (Penilaian Awal Tapak) has been submitted to the Department of Environment (DOE) Selangor on 2nd September 2015 and the department has no objection to the proposed siting which is in line with the zoning for the area. However, the condition states that due to the adjacent eastern boundary are the Tan Ming Quarry and Spring Energy Quarry, 500m non-residential development has to be provided. Alienation for the Lot 66166 has been submitted to Pentadbir Tanah Daerah Kuala Langat for sub-division purpose. Lot 66166 is plan to be sub-divided into two (2) lots which separates the development area and the non-residential zone. The non-residential zone area will be developed in future as an individual development by the Project Proponent as soon as the zoning approval for change of landuse from residential to others is permitted by Majlis Daerah Kuala Langat. The Project Site is situated within the District of Kuala Langat, Selangor Darul Ehsan. The proposed Project Site is surrounded by residential, quarry, empty land and oil palm estate. The proposed Project Site is located approximately 25km southwest from Kuala Lumpur City Center and 12km west from Putrajaya. The geographical location of the proposed Project Site is at latitude of 2°57’27.64” N to 2°57’05.93” N, longitude of 101°33’01.15” E to 101°33’09.27” E and latitude of 2°57’51.18” N to 2°57’24.16” N, longitude of 101°33’45.66” E to 101°33’45.71” E. The general location of project site is shown in Figure A . The proposed development is accessible from Kota Kemuning via Persiaran Anggerik Mokara, Jalan Kampong Lombong Jalan Lombong Emas 3 which can be connected from Lebuhraya Shah Alam (KESAS). At present, the proposed Project Site mainly consists of oil palms trees, shrubs and ponded area.

There are existing plantation (earthern) roads within the site and there are existing perimeter earth drain surrounding the oil palm plantation. There are also existing trenches within the Project Site to channel the surface runoff from the oil palm plantation. The current site condition of the Project Site is shown in Figure B . The proposed Project Site is mainly surrounded by residential, quarry, empty land and oil palm estate. The proposed Project which is a housing development involving an area of more than 50 ha which falls under the ambit of item 16, under the First Schedule of the Environmental Quality (Prescribed Activities) (Environmental Impact Assessment) Order, 2015 made under Section 34A of the Environmental Quality Act (Amendment) 2012.

Topography • From the topography survey plan, the proposed Project Site is generally characterised as nearly flat terrains with average elevations ranging from RL4.5m to RL6.0m above mean sea level. • The highest ground (approximately RL11.883m) lies at the peak in the southeastern portion of the Project Site while the lowest ground (approximately RL4.317m) is at the eastern boundary of the Project Site. b. Hydrology • The Project Site generally lies within both Sg. Kelang Basin. • In particular, the flat terrain of the Project Site is drained by a series of man-made irrigation channels for the oil palm estate with slow flowing water which flows towards north through the Malay villages prior to discharging into Sg. Kelang. • There are eight (8) water intake points within the Sg. Kelang river catchment. There are no water intake points located in the Sg. Klang downstream of the Project Site discharge.

Geology and Soil • The Project Site is mainly situated on the unconsolidated and semi-consolidated Quaternary alluvial sediments of varying thickness that is made up of the Holocene Beruas Formation (i.e. peat, humic clay and silt deposits). • The soil investigation (SI) was carried out by soil investigation Contractors, Messrs. IES Integrated (M) Sdn. Bhd. while the geotechnical evaluation and interpretation of the borehole logs and the parameters obtained from in-situ and laboratory tests were carried out by the Geotechnical Consultants, Sepakat Setia Perunding for the Project Site with six (6) boreholes (BH1 to BH6) were drilled within the Project Site and two (2) piezometer was installed. • Based on the SI result, the thickness of the peat layer is about 0.3m to not more than 1.0m. • Based on the Reconnaissance Soil Map of Peninsular Malaysia ( Pindaan 2002), published by the Ministry of Agriculture Malaysia, the soil within the Project Site is classified as Peat. • According to the Hydrogeological Map of Selangor and Kuala Lumpur Federal Territory (2008) published by Jabatan Mineral and Geosains (JMG) Malaysia, the entire Project Site is located on low potential aquifer regime of this region. d. Landuse • Agricultural land areas are the prevalent landuse, with a total of 9,766.64 acres (38.93% of the impact area).The main cultivated crops in the vicinity of the Project Site are the oil palm and mixed horticulture. Most of the oil palm and mixed horticulture are located at Thangamallay Estate, Kampung Jalan Kebun, Kampung Lombong and Kampung Seri Aman Hilir.
