The total land area is approximately 8,094.43 hectares (20,001 acres) (Plate 1.2.1). It is located adjacent to the existing development of oil palm plantation where the Project Proponent and Project Developer is similar to the current proposed Project. The adjacent site is currently in Phase 1 on PT4856, PT4857 and PT4860 (6,000 acres) and PT4858 and PT4859 (4,000 acres) whereby the proposed project will be in Phase 2 and Phase 3 on PT4951-PT4955 and PT4987-PT4991. Hence, the overall project of an oil palm plantation developed by THP Agro Management Sdn Bhd comprises of three phases which include phase 1, phase 2 and phase 3. The detailed EIA studies of phase 1 had been undertaken and approval had been acquired respectively on March 2018 and March 2017. The proposed project covers phase 2 and phase 3 with the total acreage of 20,001 acres where it is the continuity from the phase 1 development. Phase 2 and phase 3 are located adjacent to Phase 1. The coordinate point of the Project site boundary is located approximately as shown in Table 1.2.1. The location map is shown in Figure 1.2.1.

The nearest town is Jerantut town which is approximately ±35 km from the Project site. The surrounding areas of the project site at the southeastern part are oil palm and also rubber plantation. The Project site was referred to the Standard Sheet from the Department of Survey and Mapping (JUPEM), Pahang. It rests on sheet number 782-C, 782-D, 781-C, 772-A, 772-B, 771-A, 772-C, 772-D, 771-C, 762-B and 761-A (Appendix 1). 1.2.2 Accessibility to the Project Site The project site is located in Mukim Tembeling in the District of Jerantut, Pahang. From Jerantut town, it can be accessed via Federal Route 234 (Kuala Tembeling - Kuala Lipis) heading towards Kuala Lipis. After traversing for about 23 km through Federal Route 234, the junction to the Project site will be on the right (Plate 1.2.2); the junction road connects to an unpaved road. After about 1 km on the unpaved road, there is a concrete bridge across Sg. Jelai (Plate 1.2.3). After crossing the river, continue for approximately 8 km of existing unpaved road (Plate 1.2.4) before reaching the entrance to an existing oil palm plantation (Phase 1 (PT4856 - PT4860)) (Plate 1.2.5). At this point, turn left and travel for another 4 km to reach the boundary of the Project site. This road is located on the southwest border of the Project site and will be used during the development and operation phase.

Plate 1.2.5 Entrance to the Project Site 1.2.3 Access Road Network Since the proposed Project development areas share same common borders with the existing oil palm plantation of Phase 1 (PT4856 - PT4860), sharing of the access road will be practiced. The existing road in Phase 1 (as described above) will connect directly to the proposed access road for Phase 2 (PT4951-PT4955) and Phase 3 area (PT4987-PT4991). The existing access road and proposed access roads are presented in Figure 1.2.2.
