CHAPTER 6 EXISTING ENVIRONMENT SECOND SCHEDULE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT (EIA) for the Proposed Development of Solid Waste Transfer Station, on 12.474 Acres of Land on Lots 1336 & 1337, Pekan Nenas, Mukim Jeram Batu, Daerah Pontian, Johor Darul Takzim for Jabatan Pengurusan Sisa Pepejal Negara (JPSPN) CHAPTER 6 EXISTING ENVIRONMENT 6 EXISTING ENVIRONMENT 6.1 INTRODUCTION The existing environment of the proposed project site and its vicinity area has been assessed based on field surveys carried out from August 2018 to March 2019 in order to determine it’s existing condition which would have either direct or indirect impact due to the activities from the project. The study components on primary data including other secondary data sources are as below which will be cross reference with the impact of project activities: Landuse; Topography; Soil; Geology; Hydrology and water resources; Meteorology; Flora and fauna; Ambient air; Noise level; Odour; Groundwater; River water quality; Socio Economic; and Health. 6.2 LAND USE The existing land use within and the surrounding areas is for agriculture where sitting next to it is the existing landfill. The two plots of land for proposed transfer station are presently an oil palm plantation as shown in the Figure 6.1. Under the Rancangan Tempatan Daerah Pontian 2030 (Penggantian) which was gazetted in 2012, the land is zoned for Infrastructure and utility as shown in the Figure 6.2. Thus, the change of land uses is permittable. However, any housing development within 500 m buffer zones considered as incompatible and should incorporated proactive mitigation measures. The nearest sensitive receptors within 3 km radius are shown in the Figure 6.3. 6.3 TOPOGRAPHY The topography of the proposed project site is referred from topography map of Skudai, 1990 sheet number 4451, published by the Director of National Mapping, Malaysia. The topography surrounding the project site is flat to undulating. Topography in the immediate vicinity is in range elevation from 16 m to 42 m above mean sea level (MSL) (Figure 6.4). Areas with elevation less than 50 m can be used for development purposes (RTD, 2030). Based on topography map 1990 sheet number 4451, there are a building scattered within the project site. However site survey conducted on 28th May 2018 found that the project site is comprise with oil palm plantation. There are no building within the project site as shown in Figure 6.5.

This Soil Association encompasses a rather wide group of soils derived from a mixed formation of acid volcanic rocks including rhyolite, rhyolitic tuffs and lavas, schistose rhyolite, and dacite (Null et al., 1965). The soil pattern of the association is quite complex as the extrusive rocks occur intermittently in small patches throughout a landscape composed largely of shales and granitic rocks which make it difficult to delineate each series with any measure of accuracy on this type of survey However, boundaries have been drawn around areas where the soils most commonly occur (Null et al., 1965). 6.5 GEOLOGY 6.5.1 Geomorphology The proposed Project site is located on the western foot slopes of a NNW-SSE trending ridge that rises to 545 ft above sea-level at its peak. The Project site is located between 15 and 40 m above sea-level and gently slopes towards the SE at an angle of about 5°. To the west and south of the Project site is found a broad, flat coastal plain, whilst to the east of the NNW-SSE trending ridge is located the Pontian Kechil Reservoir for water supply to Singapore City.
