(E) STATEMENT OF NEED
The Project will satisfy the following needs: a) it will contribute significantly to waste reduction and environmental conservation; b) it will help optimize the use of material resources and prevent wastage; c) it will create job opportunities; and d) it will generate economic activities.
(F) PROJECT CONCEPT
The Recovery Facility is proposed to provide recovery services for scheduled waste as shown in table below.
No. Code Type of Waste Maximum Quantity/month (MT) 1 SW 305 Spent Lubricating Oil 100 2 SW 306 Spent Hydraulic Oil 100 3 SW 307 Spent Mineral Oil – Water Emulsion 50 4 SW 311 Waste of Oil (Slop Oil) 100
(G) PROJECT DESCRIPTION
There is existing covered factory building in rectangular shaped of 24.4 m long and 12.2 m wide. The covered area for factory is about 297.7 m2. The factory will be renovated to accomplish for the proposed Project. The proposed layout is shown in Chapter 4 which will include the areas allocated for recovery machines, storage of scheduled waste raw materials, finished products, residue wastes storage area, office and etc.
Waste Acceptance Criteria
Before the scheduled wastes are accepted for recovery at the plant, they will first be inspected and sampled at source of origin to satisfy the waste acceptance criteria set up by the project initiator. A list of the waste acceptance is shown in Chapter 4.
The Recovery Processes
The recovery process for the spent oil (SW 305, SW 306, SW 307 & SW 311) is via heating and distillation processes. The process flow and mass balance for the recovery are described in detail in Chapter 4.
Storage
The incoming scheduled wastes will be transported from waste generators using truck. They will be stored into respective storage drums at the storage area. Upon completion of recovery process, the recovered product will be stored at the finished product storage area

(J) EXISTING ENVIRONMENT
Parameters Description Physical Environment
Topography The Project site is located at latitude N2°57’18.9” and longitude E101°19’28.0”. It is sited on existing factory building within the developed Pulau Indah Industrial Park. Geology Quaternary age. Made up of marine and continental deposits Soils Belong to Keranji type
GE ES-4 PROPOSED RECOVERY FACILITY BY IMZ AGRITRADE SDN BHD EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Parameters Description
Hydrology Currently there is no river flowing through the Project site. The surface runoff water from the Project site will discharge to the monsoon drainage system at the boundary of Project site and then to the nearby Sg Chondong Kecil and eventually lead to Selat Kelang. Climate Humid tropical with heavy seasonal monsoonal rains. (Meteorological station at Subang Airport) Average Annual Rainfall (2003-2007) Between 2,270 mm and 3,455 mm Annual 24-hour mean temperatures 27.2 to 27.9°C Environmental Quality
Water Quality Water were sampled from drain at the upstream (W1) and Sg Chendong Kecil at the downstream (W2) of Project site. The water qualities were compared with NWQS Class llI limits. The samples were classified as slightly polluted for both W1 & W2 based on DOE WQI.
Air Quality The air quality was good and the parameter PM10, NO2, and SO2 measured at A1 & A2 was well within the Malaysia Recommended Air Quality Guideline. Noise Level The noise level recorded at N1 was within the DOE recommended limit of 70 dB(A) at the plant boundary for daytime and 60 dB(A) for night time. The noise level recorded at N2 was within the recommended limit for daytime but slightly exceeded the limit during nighttime. Biological Resource Ecosystems The proposed Project site is located within Pulau Indah Industrial Park, on a piece of flat land with factory building. Neither vegetation nor significant biological habitat was found at the site. Existing Landuse
3-km Land Use The existing landuse of the Project site is a flat land with an existing factory building located in Pulau Indah Industrial Park. The nearby landuse (within 0.5km) comprises of only Industrial area. The nearest residential area is Kg Sg Pinang which is about 700 m east of the Project site.

(L) ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
An environmental management plan, with an environmental management system will be drawn up. This plan will be included and used in the development and management of this Project to reflect the commitment of management in environmental conservation.
As part of the EMP, monitoring of water quality, noise and air pollution will be regularly and continuously carried out and periodic audits made.
(M) EMERGENCE RESPONSE PLAN
The ERP will establish procedures to deal with events and accidents that happen during the construction and operation phases of the Project. The objectives of the ERP are to enable management to respond quickly, timely and effectively to accidents so as to minimize their impacts on the environment, workers and public health and safety. Included in the ERP will be lists of essential and relevant people to contact for their services.
(N) CONCLUSION
The proposed Project will help to reduce unnecessary pollution due to illegal disposal of scheduled waste. In the process of waste recovery, it will also help reduce the final waste load for disposal at landfills and incinerators. The commercial viability of the Project, the job opportunities created, and the low environmental, health and safety impacts associated with it, will without doubt justify the Project to be recommended for adoption.
