CHAPTER 2: TERMS OF REFERENCE EIA Proposed Logging Project on Block A, Block B, Block C and Block D With An Area of 417.00 Hectares (1,030.43 Acres) At Mukim Kenering, Daerah Hulu Perak, Perak Darul Ridzuan – (Schedule II)

2.2 SCOPE OF PROJECT

The Project Proponents, Dataran Waja Sdn. Bhd., Mewah Suci Sdn. Bhd., Tunas Deras Sdn. Bhd. and Syarikat Sri Bersia Sdn. Bhd. intend to carry out the logging project on Block A, Block B, Blok C and Block D With An Area of 417.00 Hectares (1,030.43 Acres) at Mukim Kenering, Hutan Simpan Bintang Hijau, Daerah Hulu Perak, Perak Darul Ridzuan.

The overall total acreage of the proposed site at Block A (101 ha), Block B (101 ha), Block C (100 ha) and Block D (115 ha) are 417 hectares (1,030.43 acres). This logging project site can be accessed through old logging road from the main road of Jalan Baling – Gerik (A173 – Jalan Negeri) also known as FT4 (Jalan Persekutuan Lama). There is existing three (3) meters width timber track with lead to the proposed project site and distance is about 13 km from the main road.

Almost 88% of the project site elevation is 300 meters above mean sea level. According to the subsection 34A of the Environmental Quality (Prescribed Activities) (Environmental Impacts Assessment) Order, 2015 the project falls under Schedule 2, Activity Forestry, 5(b)(i): Logging or conversion of forest to other land use within- a catchment area of reservoirs used for municipal water supply, irrigation or hydro power; and 5(c): Logging, or cutting or taking of timber from at 300 meters or more above mean sea level covering an area of 100 hectares or more, outside permanent reserved forest.

For the logging activity, the prime activities expected to generate potential environmental impacts which include the following: • Boundary demarcation and positioning; • Mobilization of workforce; • Transport of equipment and supplies; • Site Clearing; • Construction of haulage road and working platform; • Improvement to drainage system; • Construction of silt trap, and ESCP; • Managing wastes at the Project Site; • Clearing of site involving forest clearing; • Loading and transportation of logs; and • Stockpile.

NILAIMAS SERVICES – EIA & TRAFFIC CONSULTANT Page 2-6

2.3 ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERATIONS

This logging project will generate economic benefits by providing employment opportunities to the local community and will uplift the quality of life of the people in the surrounding area which is a key issue in the sustainability platform. The future potential of this activity is foreseen to be promising in view of market demands. The proposed project will follow all guidelines by Department of Environment (DOE) in order to give minimum impacts to the environment. The detail of alternative consideration is show in Chapter 3 of Environmental Scoping Information Report.

2.4 SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS TO BE STUDIED

The details of environmental element are shown in Chapter 7 of ESI. Based on the projected activities, the significant environmental impacts that may potentially arise from this Project include the following. • Soil erosion and associated sediment pollution of the watercourses – due to the site clearing, construction of haulage road and preparation of working platform; • Loss of topsoil – loss of topsoil may be due to soil erosion and mixing with the overburden materials during the earthwork activities; • Air Pollution – in general; the activities are short-term in nature, and no burning of biomass is allowed. Biomass may be left on-site to biodegrade. Potential pollution may also be due to transportation activities, but the site is far from residential areas; • Loss of fauna, flora and habitats – may impact the habitat of existing fauna which may lead to migration to other undisturbed neighboring land ; • Noise Pollution – noise from heavy machinery and chain saws will be restricted to day time and the impact will be short-term and localized; • Generation of solid and liquid wastes – these includes biomass wastes, solid waste and liquid wastes are minimal as all workers shall be commuting daily to the site; • Aesthetics – due to the changes of the landscape. The modification of the existing topographical features shall be able to screen the visibility of this operation from adjacent interests; and • Socio-economic impacts – in terms of employment and business opportunities and upgrading of infrastructure in the area.

2.7 TIMELINE OF STUDIES

The environmental study for this project will be undertaken for the duration of approximately six (6) months. The detail of study timeline can be referred in Chapter 4 of Environmental Scoping Information (ESI).

2.8 CONSIDERATION OF CONCURRENT PROJECTS

No activities are noted within the proposed site. There are a few logging activities to the North of the site such as Budi Rimba Sdn. Bhd. and Sulaman Saluran Sdn. Bhd. site within radius five (5 km) from the project site.

2.9 MODELLING TOOLS, ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGIES

The key tools and methodologies that will be used for the EIA study are briefly described below. The details of assessment methodologies are shown in Chapter 6 of ESI.

Water Quality The study shall assess the status of water quality in the area where the Project is located, including all existing pollution sources and all affected tributaries flowing out of the project site. Water samples will be from surface water from nearby rivers and groundwater. Parameters expected to be monitored are temperature, DO, BOD, pH, TSS, dissolved solids, nitrogen, phosphorus, metals, ammonia, nitrate, oil & grease and E. coli.

Air Quality The EIA study shall assess the existing status of air quality in the area; identify potential sources of pollution that may collectively affect the local and regional air quality around the Project. The study will provide data for the Particulate Matter (PM10), Carbon Monoxide, Sulphur Dioxide

(SO2) and Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) content generated from the surrounding areas at the selected points.

NILAIMAS SERVICES – EIA & TRAFFIC CONSULTANT Page 2-13

Noise Quality The noise monitoring stations shall be selected based on the most sensitive receiver areas surrounding the Project site and selected proposed truck routes. The minimum and maximum noise levels, Lmin and Lmax, which defines the range of noise level data during measurement, will be recorded in dBA.

Soil and Erosion The Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) will be employed to predict the annual rate of erosion on field slope. An existing soil loss during current condition will be predicted based on RUSLE estimation. Further soil loss during project implementation (with and without preservation) and during operation also could be estimated.

The calculation of soil loss and sediment yield will be prepared based on “Guidelines Document for Addressing Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Aspects in Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report” prepared by the Department of Environment 2010, “Guideline for Erosion and Sediment Control in Malaysia” by the Department of Irrigation and Drainage 2010 and the “Urban Storm Water Management Manual for Malaysia” prepared by the Department of Irrigation and Drainage, 2011. ESCP study will be conducted and analyzed during this project. Guideline Jabatan Pengairan dan Saliran culvert are attached in Appendix 2A.

Geological terrain mapping shall be conducted which covers all the relevant aspects and impacts subjected to erosion risk. Geology and geomorphology study which discussed on the surface condition, subsurface condition, hydrological condition, and geological model to be conducted to be the basis information for geological terrain mapping. Table 2.6 shows slope analysis for logging activity at project site. The details of slope analysis are shown in Chapter 6 of Environmental Scoping Information (ESI) report.
