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 City Centre and 10km from . Main developments which surrounded the Project Site are Kota Warisan, Desa Pinggiran Putra, Bandar Seri Putra and Bandar Baru .

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 , 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 – Wilayah Lembah Klang II”, which is a suburb of “Wilayah Lembah Kelang” (Greater ). 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 , Putrajaya, 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

• The vibration level monitoring study was conducted on three (3) selected site for 8-hour period on the 17th February 2015. • The result analysis shows that existing vibration level at V1, V2 and V3 were within the permissible limits.

Biological Environment • The existing biological environment at the Project Site is limited to the flora and fauna composition of an agricultural estate area in Peninsular Malaysia. Hence, the predominant vegetation in this area i.e. oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) covers the whole part of the area. • Apart from that, thick undergrowths are dominated by cover crops, grasses, shrubs and ferns which are believed to be the dominant species in the particular area. Secondary vegetation dominate the Proposed Project Site. • The observations made during the field survey have revealed that these species are common and possess no conservation value. • The forest area has been eliminated to make way for the plantation, therefor the faunal composition at the Project Site seems to be very much adversely affected due to the estate activities within the site and surrounding urban development activities nearby. • The removal of natural vegetations followed by intensive cultivation of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) has affected the fauna species in terms of its composition and population density.

Socio-economic Environment • The Project Site is located in Mukim Dengkil within the , with a total population of 170,442 people. • The Project establishment may impact the demographic profiling of the area and shall bring changes to the local demographic scene, in terms of changing the size, age structure, sex ratio and household characteristic of the population. It can be anticipated an incremental surge on the number of people migrating into the area as a result of the Project development. • The surrounding of the Project Site is basically made up of residential namely Kg. Ampar Tenang, Taman Gemilang, Kg. Semarang and Kg. Sri Tanjung respectively north and western boundary . • There are several structures and buildings in Phase 2 development within the Ampar Tenang Estate. There are 24 units of workers quarters, 4 Hindu temples (2 of the temples are located in Phase 1 development) and 1 shrine, 1 grave, 1 surau, 1 shop and a SJK (Tamil) Ampar Tenang. • Altogether there are about 62 workers employed by the estate management.

Earthworks will commence once the site clearing at particular area of the Project Site has completed. Building works and main infrastructure works will be carried out progressively and concurrently with the earthworks activities at all stages.

IV. Significant Environmental Impacts & The Proposed Mitigation Measures

The key environmental issues are those related to activities during the site clearing, construction phase and operational phase. All the impacts that are likely to be generated by the proposed Project together with the proposed mitigation measures are summarized in Table F.

V. Environmental Management Plan (EMP)

Apart from the recommendation of mitigating measures, this report also emphasizes on the formulation and implementation of an environmental management plan (EMP). This plan involves the participation of the Project developer, local authorities, consultants as well as the contractors. The outline of the EMP relies on a collective effort from all the various group involved regardless of their level of involvement in the hierarchy. The management schemes and monitoring program proposed for the proposed Project at construction and operational levels are: • Supervision, field training and maintenance program for pollution control structures; • On-site implementation of mitigation measures; • Planning of a progress of works on site; • Provision of safety measure along with an emergency response plan; • Implementation of a properly documented traffic management scheme to ensure safety within the site; • Water, air, noise and vibration quality monitoring to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed mitigation measures implemented on-site; • Water, air, noise and vibration quality need to be analyzed by a laboratory accredited by Jabatan Piawaian (Standard) Malaysia.

VI. Conclusion

This report reads as the Environmental Impact Assessment for the Proposed Mixed Development of Serenia City Phase 2 on Lot PT 55383, PT 55384, PT 55385, PT 55386, PT 55387 and Lot PT 55388, Ampar Tenang, Mukim Dengkil, District of Sepang, Selangor Darul Ehsan and is hereafter referred to as the proposed Project

Site. The total development area for Phase 2 is 721.66 acres (292.05 ha), which is owned by Sime Darby Ampar Tenang Sdn. Bhd. and shall be developed by Sime Darby Serenia Development Sdn. Bhd. The locality of the Project Site falls under the jurisdiction of Majlis Perbandaran Sepang.

Another component within the Phase 2 development is allocation for industrial plots. The Project Proponent has envisaged to only allow for Light Type industries within the industrial plots. Based on the Guidelines for the Siting and Zoning of Industries and Residential Areas by DOE, light type industries fall under the Category 4 or 5 which requires a minimum of 50m set back as buffer from the nearest residential area. In reviewing the proposed Project and its’ anticipated integration with the existing environment of the Project Site, the main concerns is the effect of soil erosion and contamination (i.e. water, air and noise pollution) on the physical environment and upon human himself during the earthworks and construction phase. Part of the biological environment will be lost during site clearing and construction activities. However, this can be mitigated via the various practical and cost effective remedial measures recommended in this report to minimize adverse environmental impacts.

Success of the development in integrating with the surrounding developing areas will contribute towards the social acceptability of the proposed Project. By incorporating the concept of conservation in an environmentally led design layout plan, a sustainable development can be achieved to offset its adverse impacts.
