Establishment of the Existing Environment EIA for the Proposed Mixed Development on Lot PT 1082 HS(D) 30726, Mukim Morib, District of Kuala Langat, Selangor for Sentoria Morib Bay Sdn. Bhd. and Sentoria Harta Sdn. Bhd. CHAPTER ESTABLISHMENT OF THE EXISTING 3 ENVIRONMENT 3.1 Introduction The chapter basically highlights the existing baseline scenario according to the three (3) major environmental components namely physical, biological and socio-economical environments. The existing environment is documented to form a basis for the assessment of potential impacts (either positive or negative) generated from the proposed development onto the surrounding environment. Conversely any existing conditions that are likely to impact upon the proposed development itself will also be discussed. The prevalent physical and biological environment will be an indicator of the existing nature’s carrying capacity to adapt to the potential impacts generated by the proposed development. While, the socio-economic background of the surrounding areas is established to represent specific aspects of the human environment, which normally poses significant implications in the implementation of the built development. The existing environment is determined for an impact area which extends for five (5) km radius from the boundary of the Project Site. The assessment is profiled according to site surveys and published secondary data (i.e. maps, reports and structure plans) made available by the relevant government agencies. 3.2 Physical Environment 3.2.1 Topography The topography of the Project Site in relation to the surroundings is shown in Figure 3.1 . Based on topographical survey plan provided by licensed surveyor, the morphology of the Project Site shows that the Project Site is generally characterised as nearly flat with the average elevations range from RL3.0m to RL3.8m above mean sea level. The highest ground (approximately RL 5.58m) lies at the earth mount in the northwestern portion of the Project Site while the lowest ground (approximately RL 2.32m) is situated in the southern portion of the Project Site as shown in Figure 3.2. The elevation levels of the Project Site decline gently from the high ground in the northern portion towards the sea in the southern region. EUROPASIA ENGINEERING SERVICES SDN.

Bhd. 3.2.2 Hydrology From the hydrological aspect, the Project Site generally lies within the Sg. Kanchong Laut catchment area as shown in Figure 3.3 . The proposed Project Site is drained by numerous earth drains which flow into the man-made canal of Sg. Kanchong Laut in the eastern boundary of the Project Site where flows southwestwards into Straits of Melaka which is controlled by a tidal gate. Based on the List of Catchment Areas Where Standard “A” Applies by the Environment Quality Act 1974 (Act 127) as at 01 st April 2013 and water intake stations of Puncak Niaga Sdn. Bhd., there are no water intake points located within the Sg. Kanchong Laut river catchment. 3.2.3 General Geology of the Project Site The geological information of the Project area was obtained from the Geological Map of Peninsular Malaysia (1985) and Quaternary Geological Map of Peninsular Malaysia (1989), both published by the Geological Survey of Malaysia as shown in Figure 3.4 . The Project Site is situated on the unconsolidated and semi-consolidated Quaternary alluvial sediments namely Gula Formation. The sediments of Gula Formation mainly comprise thick marine clay (grey and dark grey), silt, locally very clayey or silty sand with subordinate amount of gravel. Organic matter is present mainly as plant remains and small amount of shell fragments. The sediments are typically greenish to grey in colour. However, the surface sediments are usually weathered to light grey coloration with yellow, orange or brown mottles. Where abundant humic material or plant remains are present, the sediments may be dark grey or brown grey. The deposits of Gula Formation vary from pure coarse sand to fine sand to pure silt or clay. The relatively pure sands are valuable sources for construction aggregate, while the silt and clays can be a constraint on future land uses where construction works are involved, such as this development due to the low load bearing capacity. Fossil evidence and lithology sequences have shown a shallow marine to estuarine environment of deposition for the Gula Formation. The age of the Gula Formation is considered to be Holocene.

Bhd. 3.2.4 Soil Investigation Soil investigation was carried out at the Project Site to identify its sub surface condition and to obtain soil parameters for geotechnical design purposes. The soil parameters were obtained from the laboratory test carried out on the soil samples collected from the soil investigation works in the field. Based on the soil investigation (SI) conducted by S & M Geotechnics Sdn. Bhd. under the supervision of the consulting engineer, HTM Consultants Sdn. Bhd., with a total of ten (10) deep boreholes were proposed within the site and as of the preparation of this EIA report, ten (10) of the boreholes were drilled from 14 th January 2014 to 15 th February 2014. The location of the proposed boreholes within the Project Site is shown in Figure 3.5 and the summary of the Soil investigation results are as elaborated in sub-section below. Based on the borehole logs (refer to Appendix 3 ), the thickness of the soil (overburden) varies considerably depending on the positions of the boreholes at topographic high or low topographic. The thickness of the soil (overburden) shall be within approximately 33.00m to 37.50m of soil layers consists of mainly very soft to firm silty CLAY and stiff to very hard sandy SILT before encountering the hard layer (SPT-N >50 blows). These hard layers which are encountered at the southeastern portion of the Project Site, were terminated with minimum six (6) meters of continuous drilling. Ground water table of these boreholes ranged from 0.25m to 0.60m below ground level. The borehole details of the Project Site are tabulated in Table 3.1 . EUROPASIA ENGINEERING SERVICES SDN.

  • MALAYSIA the Kampung Kuantan Firefly Reserve Jamil Bin
    MALAYSIA The Kampung Kuantan Firefly Reserve Jamil bin Hamzah and Suzana Mohkeri Wetlands International-Asia Pacific INTRODUCTION Malaysia is comprised of 13 federal states with Kuala Lumpur as the federal capital situated in the Federal Territory. Eleven states are in West Malaysia (also known as Peninsular Malaysia) and two states are situated in Borneo Island. Selangor is one of the most highly developed and urbanized states in Malaysia. However, there are still large areas of forested lands scattered throughout the state either under forest reserves, owned by the state, private companies or private landowners. Since the beginning of civilization rivers have been the most important source of food, water resources and transportation. In Malaysia, human settlement always related or concentrated along the rivers. Sungai Selangor (Selangor River), is one of the main rivers in the state of Selangor. The headwater of Sungai Selangor originates from the highland area of the Titiwangsa Range, which is part of the Main Range, the backbone of Peninsular Malaysia. It is an important source of water supply for domestic and agriculture use and fishing industries for people living along the riverbanks. Sungai Selangor flows mainly through oil palm estates and small villages and it does not pass through any major towns. Thus the riparian vegetation along the riverbanks is still intact. According to a report prepared by the Department of Environment, Sungai Selangor river basin is listed as one of the two cleanest rivers in Selangor (Environmental Quality Report, 1996). This river is highlighted here not because of its important food and water resources but of its ecotourism factor.

  • On the Crabs of the Family Ocypodidae in the Collection of the Raffles Museum M. W. F. TWEEDIE
    Reprint from Bulletin of the Raffles Museum, Singapore, Straits Settlements, No. IS, August 1937 On the Crabs of the family Ocypodidae in the collection of the Raffles Museum hy M. W. F. TWEEDIE M. W. F. TWEEDIE On the Crabs of the Family Ocypodidae in the Collection of the Raffles Museum By M. W. F. TwEEDiE, M.A. The material described in this paper has been collected for the most part during the last four years, mainly in mangrove swamps around Singapore Island and at a few localities on the east and west coasts of the Malay Peninsula. The greater part of the paper and most of the figures were prepared at the British Museum (Natural History) during August and September, 1936, and my grateful acknowledgments are due to the Director for permission to work there and for facilities provided, and particularly to Dr. Isabella Gordon for her unfailing help and encouragement. I wish also to express my thanks to the Directorates of the Zoological Museums at Leiden and Amsterdam for permission to examine types, and for the helpfulness and courtesy with which I was received by the members of the staffs of these museums. Finally acknowledgments are due to Prof. Dr. H. Balss, Dr. B. N. Chopra and Dr. C. J. Shen for their kindness in comparing specimens with types and authentic specimens in their respective institutions. The mode adopted for collecting the material may be of interest to collectors of Crustacea, and possibly other invertebrate groups, in the tropics. It was found that if crabs, especially Grapsidse and Ocypodidse, are put straight into alcohol, they tend to die slowly and in their struggles to shed their limbs and damage each other, so that often less than 10% of the collection survive as perfect specimens.

  • An Analysis of the Changing Spatial Location Of
    AN ANALYSIS OF THE CHANGING SPATIAL LOCATION OF AGRICULTURAL ENTERPRISES IN SELANGOR STATE, MALAYSIA By Mohamed Tamin Yusof A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Agricultural Development Economics in the Australian National University October 1985 DECLARATION Except where otherwise indicated this thesis is my cwn work. 7 June 1985 iii ACKNCWLEDGEMENTS I wish to express my sincerest thanks to the Government of Malaysia for nominating me to undertake this course in Australia and the Australian Government for their generous Colombo Plan scholarship. I am very greatly indebted to my supervisor, Dr Dan Etherington whose invaluable suggestions, criticisms, comments and guidance greatly inspired me to complete this research study. I am also greatful to Dr D.P. Chaudhri and Dr Clive Hamilton for their suggestions and advice during the course of the study. To Mr. Sean Foley, who helped in editing and also to Miss Yap Kim Lian, Ministry of Agriculture, Malaysia; Mr. Radzli Jaafar and my family who helped and provided the necessary information required in this study. I am greatful to all of them. To my wife, Zubaidah Arshard and son, Hanif for their understanding, and patience, I can hardly express the extent of my gratitude. And finally, to all my friends and colleagues, who contributed in diverse ways to this study, but too numerous to mention here, I am thankful. iv ABSTRACT This paper examines the changing land use of agricultural areas in Selangor State generally and specifically near urban areas of Kuala Lumpur between 1966 and 1982. Using two contrasting models designed to explain the spatial location of agricultural enterprises, the study found that von Thunen's model has become less relevent due to the modernization of transportation system with consequent significant reduction in transport costs.

During that time, it was noted for its air force surveillance centre which protected the area from Port Swettenham or previously known as Port Klang to Port Dickson. It also acted as a military logistics that planned and carried out the movement, supply, and maintenance of military forces to sustenance Morib area. Currently, this historical structure and its remains have no longer exist. The area has now been transformed to a palm oil plantation. As time goes by, this airfield has been forgotten and invisible to our young generation. In addition to that, there are lack of literature and studies about the history and its roles during and after World War II.

Boers2, and C. P. Leong3 1CSIRO Atmospheric Research, Australia 2Atmospheric Research Division KNMI Netherlands 3Malaysian Meteorological Service, Malaysia Received: 15 November 2002 – Published in Atmos. Chem. Phys. Discuss.: 10 February 2003 Revised: 27 May 2003 – Accepted: 27 May 2003 – Published: 5 June 2003 Abstract. Continuous measurements of dry aerosol light biomass burning in Kalimantan and Sumatra. Haze events scattering (Bsp) were made at two sites in the Klang Valley have been recorded in 1983, 1990, 1991, 1994, 1997 and of Malaysia between December 1998 and December 2000. 1998 (Radojevic and Hassan 1999, Muraleedharan et al. In addition 24-hour PM2.5 samples were collected on a one- 2000). Koe et al. (2001) noted that reduced visibility in day-in-six cycle and the chemical composition of the aerosol Malaysia during the 1997 haze episode was the result of long was determined. Periods of excessive haze were defined range transport of smoke from Sumatra. Historically, ma- as 24-hour average Bsp values greater than 150 Mm−1 and jor smoke hazes have been observed in the region, at times these occurred on a number of occasions, between May and impeding shipping, as early as the 1800s (McDonald 1938). September 1999, during May 2000, and between July and Episodes like the 1997 haze events prompt the need for a September 2000. The evidence for smoke from biomass thorough understanding of the factors regulating the severity burning being a significant contributor to aerosol during pe- of haze in Kuala Lumpur (KL) and the surrounding Klang riods of excessive haze is discussed.
