ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT FOR PROPOSED NEW INSTALLATION OF THERMAL TREATMENT FACILITY FOR CENTRE OF HEALTHCARE WASTE TREATMENT PLANT FOR MEDIVEST SDN BHD AT LOT 6939, 6940, 6947 & 6948, MUKIM TANJUNG MINYAK, DAERAH MELAKA TENGAH, MELAKA CHAPTER 6– EXISTING ENVIRONMENT Chapter 6 EXISTING ENVIRONMENT 6.1 Introduction This chapter presents an overview of the existing environmental conditions surrounding the Project area. The discussion is limited to the factors and environmental components that could have a direct impact on the Project, or that could be impacted by the development or operation of the Project. Information presented in these sections has been drawn from published literature, government agencies records and literature studies as well as field investigations and primary data collection. Information on the existing environment will be utilised for assessing the degree of impact from the development of the Project towards the environment which will be discussed in Chapter 7 of this EIA Report. 6.2 Physical Environment This section outlines the existing physical characteristics of the Project site and its surroundings. 6.2.1 Topography The Project is located within a ready site at Kawasan Perindustrian Bukit Rambai Fasa 4C, Mukim Tanjung Minyak, Melaka. Based on reference made to site plan prepared by Badrul Hisham Architect, the topography of the existing centre of healthcare waste treatment plant ranges between 23.5 MSL and 27 MSL. 6.2.2 Geology and Soil Based on initial reference made to Peta Geologi Semenanjung Malaysia Cetakan ke-8, 1985, the geology condition of the Project site and its surrounding is Devonian geology which consist of phyllite, schist and slate whereby there are limestone and sandstone are locally prominent, some interbeds of conglomerate, chert and rare volcanic. Meanwhile based on the Generalised Soil Map of Peninsular Malaysia 1970, the Project site is located on gley soils on marine clays (saline gley soils and acid sulphate soils). (See Figure 6.2.2(a) and Figure 6.2.2(b)).

Sg Ayer Salak has a total length of 10 km in length and 14 m in width is a tributary of Sg Melaka. During site survey, no obvious human activities were observed at Sg Ayer Salak. There is no published data about the usage of Sg Ayer Salak that was managed to be retrieved. Based on some information found in newspaper article released in 2017, it was reported that some villagers living along the river occasionally will go fishing at the river. There is an existing drainage system within the Project site and existing drainage system surrounding the industrial area. Plate 6.2.3(a) and Plate 6.2.3(b) illustrate the drains respectively.

Melaka Tengah District experiences an equatorial type of climate characterised by warm and humid weather all year round with intermittent rainfall. There are two distinct monsoon seasons, the Northeast Monsoon (from November to March) and the Southwest Monsoon (from May to September). Malaysian Meteorological Services (MMS) maintains a principal meteorological station at Melaka (Latitude: 02° 16' N Longitude: 102° 15' E; Elevation: 8.5 m). Since this principal station is the nearest meteorological station to the Project site, the following data from this station are used to describe and represent the climatological conditions of the Project site. Annual and Seasonal Wind Rose Summary – data period: 1968 – 2017 . Monthly 24 Hour Temperature – data period: 1951 - 1964, 1966 – 2017 . Monthly 24 hour Mean Relative Humidity –data period: 1951 – 1964, 1966 – 2017 . Monthly Rainfall Amount & Number of Rain days– data period: 1951 - 2017 6.2.4.1 Surface Wind Wind flow pattern in terms of direction and speed is important to understand the role of wind in transporting and dispersing air pollutants. The wind pattern was recorded from 1968 to 2017. Annual wind record and profile are as shown in Table 6.2.4(a). Based on the wind profile, it is noted that the most prevailing wind flow was from the northeast (27.4% of the time) followed by from the north (13.4% of the time). Wind speeds were generally low occurring below 3.3 m/s for 64.3% of the time and rarely exceeding 5.4 m/s (14.4%). Higher wind speeds are typically associated with winds from the north, northeast, west and southwest. Calm weather occurs 19.3% annually. The annual and seasonal wind roses are shown in Figures 6.2.4(a) and 6.2.4(b).
