Major Elements of the Environment PROPOSED OIL PALM PLANTATION DEVELOPMENT ON 8,094.43 HECTARES (20,001 ACRES) LAND ON PT4951-PT4955 AND PT4987-PT4991 IN MUKIM TEMBELING, DISTRICT OF JERANTUT, PAHANG DARUL MAKMUR. (ENVIRONMENTAL SCOPING INFORMATION) SECTION 4 MAJOR ELEMENTS OF THE ENVIRONMENT 4.1 INTRODUCTION This section will describe the baseline studies in the Project area in terms of the physical, environmental, biological and socio economic. The description of the baseline studies is based on field surveys and review of existing literature related to the study area sourced from published reports. Both the primary and secondary data are used to describe the existing environment. 4.1.1 Current Site Condition The current condition of the project site is a logged-over forest. A visit to the project site was conducted on 5th September 2018. During the site visit, a log yard (matau) was found in the existing oil palm plantation development (phase 1) adjacent to the project site. Plate 4.1.1 shows the location of the log yard in Phase 1 area.

(ENVIRONMENTAL SCOPING INFORMATION) 4.2 TOPOGRAPHY The topography of the project site is described based on the range of elevation, river system and slope terrain. The topographical view is illustrated in Figure 4.2.1. Elevation Generally the topography within and outside of the Project site can be categorized as flat, rolling and hilly. The elevations of the Project site vary from 60 m to 260 m above mean sea level (M.S.L.). The flat area mostly covers the entire area where it is distributed all over the Project Site whereby the lowest land is sited in the middle and sloping down to the north side which is near to the river valley. The hilly area are located in the middle of the project area, at the west and also at the northwest of the project area. The elevation of the project site is presented in Figure 4.2.2. River System There are five major river systems within the project site which are Sg. Terengan, Sg. Dohong, Sg. Lenggung, Sg. Kuang, tributaries of Sg. Yong and Sg. Kuran. The project site is drained by tributaries of Sg. Terengan where it flows from northwest to east and drained onto main river, Sg. Tembeling. Tributaries of Sg. Dohong will directly flows from the north to the south and the tributaries of Sg. Lenggung flows from the northeast onto the main river, Sg. Tembeling. Additionally, the tributaries of Sg. Yong will flow into Sg Jelai which will eventually drained to Sg. Pahang. Overall, based on the topography map, all of the tributary which are coming from project site will flow onto main rivers, Sg. Tembeling and Sg Jelai and finally discharged onto Sg Pahang. In short, Sg Jelai and Sg Tembeling confluence onto Sg. Pahang. These rivers and its tributaries formed a dendritic river pattern. Slope Terrain The slope within project site has been analysed based on contour data acquired from Department of Survey and Mapping Malaysia (JUPEM). Most of the Project site is classified as terrain Class 1 which covers about 45.79% followed by Class 3 (22.27%), Class 4 (15.86%), Class 2 (12.84%), Class 5 (2.57%), Class 6 (0.66%) and Class 7 (0.01%) respectively. For the project site, very steep area of more than 35° about 0.81 hectares are strictly prohibited from any land development to protect the sloping structure and minimize the erosion. Table 4.2.1 shows the distribution of terrain within the Project site while the terrain analysis map is shown in Figure 4.2.3.

  • Geology of the Rompin–Endau Area, Pahang Darul Makmur–Johor Darul
    144 GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF MALA YSIA -ANNUAL GEOLOGICALCONFERENCE 1991 Geology of the Rompin-Endau area, Pahang Darul Makmur-Johor Darul Takzim M.B. MUNAWIRI, M.B. IDRIS2 & N.B. NORAZLAM2 lDepartment of Geology, University of Malaya, 59100 Kuala Lumpur 2Sarawak Shell Berhad, Lutong, Miri Sarawak Three main rock types are found in the Rompin-Endau area. These are volcanics, igneous intrusives and sedimentary sequences. Metamorphic rocks occur only at Gunung Lesong. The votcanic rocks are referred to as the Jasin volcanics and represent the oldest rocks of the area, probably of Mid-Permian to Triassic age. Some of these rhyolites are also mylonitised. A granite batholith found on the western flank of the area can be termed a biotite-adamellite granite. This granite pluton which has intruded the volcanic rocks, is similar to those found in other parts of the Ulu Endau area and has been dated to be of Late Triassic Age. On the eastern plateau, sedimentary sequences of sandstone, shale, siltstone and mudstone overly the volcanics. A similar sequence of sediment is seen capping the granite hill 1448 on the western side, forming a mesa. These sediments are referred to as the Tebak Formation which is of continental origin and exhibits subhorizontal dips. Plant fossils were recorded from light grey mudstone beds in the tributaries of Sungai Telentang, and a boulder of silicified wood was found in Sungai Anak Seladang on the western flank of Sungai Kinchin. The plant fossil has been identified as Frenelopsis malaine Ko' ono, which is a foliage of a conifer plant, giving an age of Upper Jurassic - Lower Cretaceous.

    REPORT ON HEAVY RAINFALL THAT CAUSED FLOODS IN JOHOR, MELAKA, NEGERI SEMBILAN AND PAHANG DURING THE PERIOD th th 17 – 20 DECEMBER 2006 PREPARED BY: RESEARCH DIVISION MALAYSIAN METEOROLOGICAL DEPARTMENT MINISTRY OF SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVASION 21st DECEMBER 2006 1. Introduction Cold surges emanating from high-pressure system over Siberia was the main factor of the intensification in northeasterly wind speed over the South China Sea on 16th December 2006. This enhanced the cyclonic wind shear over our region, mainly over the southern Peninsular Malaysia from the 17th until 20th December 2006. This caused Johor, Pahang, Negeri Sembilan and Malacca to experience heavy rainfall. 2.

  • A Case Study in the Cameron Highlands, Malaysia
    Geographical Review of Japan Vol. 61 (Ser. B), No. 2, 191-211, 1988 The Agricultural Development of Hill Stations in Tropical Asia -A Case Study in the Cameron Highlands, Malaysia- Shigeru SHIRASAKA* There are many highland settlements known as "hill stations" or "summer resorts" in Southeast Asian countries under the tropical and subtropical climate. The hill station is not a native institution, but one developed during the nineteenth century by the British and Dutch colonial masters in order to make sojourns in a foreign land more comfortable. In southern Japan, the worst period is from June through August, though its intensity does not compare with that farther south. In Malaysia and Indonesia, the period extends throughout the year. The Cameron Highlands is the most famous hill station in Peninsular Malaysia being one of colonial origin. The Cameron Highlands is located between 1,000 and 1,500 meters above sea level on the main range of central Malaysia. Today, the Cameron Highlands is mainly a summer resort, but it is also a very important mid-latitude vegetable growing area. The development of the Cameron Highlands began only after 1926, though it was discovered by, and named after, William CAMERONin 1885. Almost simultaneous with the opening of the Came ron Highlands as a hill resort was the growth and development of vegetable farming by farmers of Chinese origin. There are also three new vegetable farming settlements developed after World War II. Some 47 per cent of the inhabitants of the Cameron Highlands are Chinese Malaysian, and they shoulder the vegetable growing business.

  • Coral Reefs in the Coastal Waters of the South China Sea MALAYSIA
    United Nations UNEP/GEF South China Sea Global Environment Environment Programme Project Facility NATIONAL REPORT on Coral Reefs in the Coastal Waters of the South China Sea MALAYSIA Mr. Abdul Rahim Bin Gor Yaman Focal Point for Coral Reefs Marine Park Section, Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment Level 11, Lot 4G3, Precinct 4, Federal Government Administrative Centre 62574 Putrajaya, Selangor, Malaysia NATIONAL REPORT ON CORAL REEF IN THE SOUTH CHINA SEA – MALAYSIA 37 MALAYSIA Zahaitun Mahani Zakariah, Ainul Raihan Ahmad, Tan Kim Hooi, Mohd Nisam Barison and Nor Azlan Yusoff Maritime Institute of Malaysia INTRODUCTION Malaysia’s coral reefs extend from the renowned “Coral Triangle” connecting it with Indonesia, Philippines, Papua New Guinea, and Australia. Coral reef types in Malaysia are mostly shallow fringing reefs adjacent to the offshore islands. The rest are small patch reefs, atolls and barrier reefs. The United Nations Environment Programme’s World Atlas of Coral Reefs prepared by the Coral Reef Unit, estimated the size of Malaysia’s coral reef area at 3,600sq. km which is 1.27 percent of world total coverage (Spalding et al., 2001). Coral reefs support an abundance of economically important coral fishes including groupers, parrotfishes, rabbit fishes, snappers and fusiliers. Coral fish species from Serranidae, Lutjanidae and Lethrinidae contributed between 10 to 30 percent of marine catch in Malaysia (Wan Portiah, 1990). In Sabah, coral reefs support artisanal fisheries but are adversely affected by unsustainable fishing practices, including bombing and cyanide fishing. Almost 30 percent of Sabah’s marine fish catch comes from coral reef areas (Department of Fisheries Sabah, 1997).

This study is qualitative in nature: a total of three focus group discussions were conducted among selected villagers from Kuala Tembeling, Kuala Tahan and Kundang Hulu villages. Four themes emerged from the analysis, namely sources of income, mode of transportation, less appreciation among the younger generation for the river, and the need for river development. Through the identification of this data, it is a hope that a broader understanding of the relationship between the local community and the river could facilitate river development programmes and strategies.
