The tropical region’s countries are rich with natural rainforests and the economies of the countries situated within the region are mainly driven by the agricultural industry. In order to fulfill the agricultural demand, land clearing has worsened the situation by degrading the land surface areas. Rampant land use activities have led to land degradation and soil erosion, resulting in implications on water quality and sedimentation of the river networks. This affects the ecosystem services, especially the hydrological cycles. Intensification of the sedimentation process has resulted in shallower river systems, thus increasing their vulnerability to natural hazards (i.e., climate change, floods). Tropical forests which are essential in servicing their benefits have been depleted due to the increase in human exploitation.

  • 6 Existing Environment
    Environmental Impact Assessment: Proposed Onsite Secure Landfill (Prescribed Premise) for the Storage of NUF Solids within the Existing LAMP Site located on PT 17212, Gebeng Industrial Estate, Kuantan, Pahang 6 EXISTING ENVIRONMENT 6.1 INTRODUCTION This section provides a description of the physical, chemical, biological and social aspects of the environment within the Zone of Impact (ZOI) of the proposed secure landfill Project. It highlights the components of environmental concerns of the Project site and its surroundings. The term ZOI is used to describe the area most likely to be impacted by the Project. The ZOI represents the surrounding area within a 5 km radius from the boundary of the LAMP site. The information provided within this chapter forms the basis of the impact assessment in Chapter 7. The description provided in this chapter is based on site visits and environmental monitoring data at the LAMP site, undertaken by Permulab (M) Sdn. Bhd., a laboratory accredited by the Department of Standards, Malaysia under the Skim Akreditasi Makmal Malaysia (SAMM), Malaysian Meteorological Department and publications by DOE, Kuantan Municipal Council, Pihak Berkuasa Perancang Tempatan (PBPT) Daerah Kuantan. Data from past studies, including the “Preliminary EIA and Quantitative Risk Assessment of the Proposed Advanced Materials Plant in Gebeng Industrial Area, Kuantan, Pahang, by Enviro Sdn Bhd, 2007” was also referenced. 6.2 TOPOGRAPHY Regionally, the GIE is located in the Kemajuan Tanah Merah area where Bukit Tanah Merah was flattened to construct the industrial estate. The GIE is located within the low-lying and predominantly swampy Sungai Balok catchment area with an average land elevation of 7m above mean sea level.

In Malaysia, monsoonal flood and flash flood occur respectively during the northeast monsoon and heavy rains cause the loss of life and property damages. All those rain rates will be applied into flood forecasting model such as Rainfall Runoff Inundation (RRI) model to identify the inundation areas. Some researchers had evaluated and found that the radar rain rate is highly effective in estimating average rainfall over a river basin, which is important in flood forecasting.

  • Chapter 4 Revision of Guidelines Vol.1 Parts B & C
    CHAPTER 4 REVISION OF GUIDELINES VOL.1 PARTS B & C The Study on Improvement of Planning Capability in Sewerage Sector in Malaysia Final Report CHAPTER 4 REVISION OF GUIDELINES VOL. 1 PARTS B & C 4.1 Discrepancies in the Current Catchment Strategy Reports The following discrepancies were identified for correction upon revision of the existing catchment strategy reports. (1) Outline of Catchment Study Report This issue relates to the format of a catchment study report. While the current catchment reports contain a summary checklist of the catchment strategy reports, it does not include basic information such as catchment name and present connection PE. (2) No Link between Sewerage Development Effects and Catchment Strategies This issue relates to the content of the report. Current reports focus on the location of new STP sites, routes of new sewers, and the development of the sewerage system, but the effects of sewerage development on effluent-receiving rivers are neither mentioned nor examined. Therefore, the objectives for the sewerage system and its implementation are unclear. (3) Current Analytical Approach for Catchment Strategies This issue relates to the analytical approach of catchment plans. The current Guidelines show the general procedural scheme for developing sewerage catchment plans, but this scheme combines or blends what to do and what to consider. Since different developers use different approaches for catchment plans, comparing and evaluating these catchment strategies becomes complex. (4) No Consideration for Local Water Conservation This issue relates to constraints in identifying catchment strategies. The concept of local water conservation does not exist in the current Guidelines. (5) No Quantitative Analysis on Sludge Management This issue relates to financial analysis.
