EUROPASIA ENGINEERING SERVICES SDN. BHD. i EIA for the Proposed Mixed Development of Serenia City Phase 2, Ampar Tenang, Mukim Dengkil, District of Sepang, Selangor Darul Ehsan However, the condition states that the Project Proponent should submit an EIA, hence the preparation and submission of this report to DOE Selangor. The proposed Project Site is located within the District of Sepang, Selangor Darul Ehsan. The geographical location of the proposed Project Site is at a latitude of 02°50’38.65”N to 02°51’41.64”N and a longitude of 101°40’53.88”E to 101°42’41.47”E. The general location of the Project is depicted in Figure A . Located within the Ampar Tenang Estate, the proposed Project Site is approximately 33km from the Kuala Lumpur City Centre and 10km from Putrajaya. Main developments which surrounded the Project Site are Kota Warisan, Desa Pinggiran Putra, Bandar Seri Putra and Bandar Baru Salak Tinggi. At the time of preparing for the EIA report, the proposed Project Site is an oil palm estate. Apart from staff quarters for the estate workers, there are also other building structures (i.e., primary school, mosque, temple and community hall) were observed within the proposed Project Site. Petronas gas pipeline was across at the eastern region of the Project Site. In general, the oil palm trees observed at this site are mostly mature which are in its productive cycle and also young planting. There are earthen routes within the site which is used to facilitate the present oil palm cultivation activities. There are also some drainages observed within the proposed Project Site. The current site condition of the Project Site is shown in Figure B . The proposed Project falls under the ambit of item 7 [Housing development covering an area of 50 hectares or more] and 9(e) Construction of new township, under the Schedule of the Environmental Quality (Prescribed Activities) (Environmental Impact Assessment) Order, 1987 made under Section 34A of the Environmental Quality Act 1974. In compliance with the above requirements, a Preliminary Environmental Impact Assessment (PEIA) has to be carried out by the Project Proponent prior to development to assess any impact the development would have on the existing Project Site. The proposed Project Site is located within District of Sepang that is placed within the secondary development zone which functions as “Zon Pinggiran Wilayah Lembah Klang – Wilayah Lembah Klang II”, which is a suburb of “Wilayah Lembah Kelang” (Greater Klang Valley). Therefore the development strategy focused at this area is mainly to improve the standard and the quality of township to ensure the township is able to support the economic development and the increase of population within the Klang Valley. This zone serves as the supporting development zone for “Wilayah Lembah Kelang” (refer to Figure 2.2). The proposed Project Site is also surrounded by “Zon Bandar” that consists of several strategic growth centers as Cyberjaya, Putrajaya, Banting and Pulau Carey (refer to Figure 2.3). This development zone is focused for committed development. Based on “Rancangan Tempatan Majlis Perbandaran Sepang (Pengubahan 2) 2020”, the proposed development falls within Blok Perancangan BP 4: Ampar Tenang (i.e., BPK 4.2 Ampar Tenang) in tandem with the proposed EUROPASIA ENGINEERING SERVICES SDN.
