Environmental Management Plan (EMP) and Environmental Monitoring 7 Environmental Management Environmental Monitoring Plan (EMP) 7.1 Proposed Environmental Management Plan (EMP) and The Environmental Management Plan (EMP) outlined in this chapter establishes a strategy to manage environmental issues throughout all stages of the development. It also provides a framework specification upon which the project proponent will set the environmental control requirements for the proposed project through its tender contract documentation. This EMP is prepared as a preliminary EMP specification. A final EMP will be prepared after the EIA approval based on the conditions specified by DOE and before the commencement of any construction works. This allows comments during the DOE review stage to be taken into consideration in the final EMP together with the details of the appointed contractor and final, detailed construction methodology. 7.1.1 Objectives This EMP is a tool designed to assist the Project Proponent in meeting the requirements of applicable environmental legislation and regulations in order to achieve best practice environmental management.

During the construction works, the Project Proponent’s Project Manager will hold an additional copy. The EMP should be regularly reviewed in relation to conditions encountered and updated as appropriate. 7.2 Proposed Monitoring Programmes The proposed monitoring programme comprises of three types of monitoring, as defined in Table 7.1. These monitoring programmes cover both the construction and operation phases. Table 7.1 Types of monitoring programme Type of Monitoring Definition Performance monitoring Performance monitoring involves monitoring the performance of environmental management and pollution control systems and other mitigation measures were ever applicable. This mainly is based on meeting existing Malaysian Guidelines, Standards and legislations. Compliance monitoring Compliance monitoring aims to ensure the required mitigation measures are being implemented on site. Impact monitoring This monitoring aims to identify actual (residual) impacts, and hence to determine the efficacy of mitigation measures. 7-5 7.2.1 Performance Monitoring 7.2.1.1 Management of Suspended Sediments during Reclamation and Dredging (Phase 4) As set out in Section 6 above the key environmental impacts during the construction phase is the sediment plumes that are generated when capital dredging and reclamation works are carried out, and particularly so when undertaken simultaneously. To manage these impacts it is proposed to use sediment spill control and monitoring (referred to hereafter as feedback monitoring). Performance Standard Performance to the following management objective is required for TSS at Tg. Tuan corals: Excess TSS > 25 mg/L for 1-5% of the time; OR Excess TSS > 10 mg/L for 1-20% of the time; OR Excess TSS > 5 mg/L for 5-50% of the time. Feedback Monitoring Feedback monitoring has been effectively utilised at a number of sites in Southeast Asia. It is considered international best practice for the environmental control of dredging and reclamation operations by PIANC (see report on Dredging and Port Construction around Coral Reefs /1/). The intention of this monitoring and management plan is to ensure that the suspended sediment limits set above for the sensitive receptors are met, whilst at the same time allowing the maximum possible dredging rates. Initial modelling at this EIA stage indicates that a dredging rate of around 20,000 m 3 per day will meet these objectives; however, the purpose of the feedback monitoring is to ensure compliance with the performance standards, and this rate may be adjusted through adaptive management based on the actual site conditions during the dredging (sediment type, season, waves etc.). This monitoring and management plan includes the following key elements: 7-6 1 Monitor the dredger location and reclamation activities and measure suspended sediment concentrations in the overflow water and flow rate to calculate spill volumes and sediment loads from each dredging cycle that are applied to estimate daily spill volumes. This is carried out daily and will involve sampling by the dredger contractor of overflow water from each hopper barge once overflow starts. 2 Monitor suspended sediment concentrations in the vicinity of the project area on a daily basis during periods when dredging or reclamation is being carried out and online measurement of suspended concentrations at high frequency (5 to 15 minutes) to ensure that TSS thresholds are met. If the suspended sediments concentrations are shown to exceed the allowable limits, the allowable sediment spill is modified to prevent this based on modelling estimates as set out in (3) below. 3 To carry out predictive modelling of the sediment spills from the dredging and reclamation activities at least three (3) times a week; based on the current dredging works and proposed activities. This includes hindcast modelling (past events) to quantify the spatial and temporal evolution of the sediment plume allowing action to be taken if the prespecified threshold values are being exceeded. The hindcast numerical modelling results are constantly compared to measured data to confirm the predictions are accurate and provide a good description of the sediment spill occurring during the dredging and reclamation activities that have taken place. The forecasting modelling of the sediment plume allows the spill budget to be adjusted to maximise reclamation and dredging production, while at the same time meeting environmental quality objectives. 62801230-RPT-02 Environmental Management Plan (EMP) and Environmental Monitoring The basic processes of feedback monitoring and its cyclic nature are illustrated in Figure 7.2. Figure 7.2 Flow diagram illustrating the feedback monitoring process. The main advantages of Feedback Monitoring are: Control measurements are targeted at the spill from the dredger, the source of the sediment spill, without the uncertainties normally encountered by only relying on fixed turbidity sensors at the receptor areas. Such sensor measurements cannot differentiate between loading produced from the dredging and natural variability in the background conditions whereas model predictions can and a high degree of accuracy; Sediment plume models (numerical models) can keep a running balance of cumulative impact levels based on actual production and measured spill against the pre-determined threshold limits. Action can then be taken in advance of any negative impacts occurring in the field; The use of a sediment plume hindcast model allows complex reclamation and dredging schedules to be addressed resulting in accurate assessment of cumulative impacts (reclamation and capital dredging occurring at the same time for example), and the definitions of spill budgets that are adaptive to changes in area usage, equipment numbers and equipment size; The models give a spatial picture at all receptor sites, not just the locations where instrumentation is deployed as per traditional monitoring methods. Coverage is thus more rigorous; and The use of spill measurements and modelling allows the monitoring and management system to be responsive to changes in conditions (e.g. seasonal effects) and work schedules, which is not possible utilising traditional impact assessment and monitoring methods. 7-7 Suspended Sediment Plume Monitoring Stations Pre-Construction (Before Dredging) As part of the implementation process of Feedback Monitoring, suspended sediment sampling shall be carried out to establish a baseline prior to capital dredging works as detailed in Table 7.2. Table 7.2 Suspended sediment monitoring programme for pre-construction stage Parameter Proposed Monitoring Programme Stations Frequency Spatial variability in suspended sediment concentration Six (6) fixed stations for three (3) depths (i.e. surface, middle, bottom) Daily for two (2) weeks immediately before reclamation/dredging works commence to provide a baseline on background suspended sediment concentrations Temporal changes in suspended solids concentrations and turbidity Two (2) online monitoring stations Minimum of two (2) weeks before the start of reclamation/dredging works. During this period, suspended sediment samples will be taken at these locations to allow the relationship between Turbidity and Total Suspended Sediment Concentrations to be established. The feedback numerical modelling shall be run during this period based on the Contractor’s proposed initial reclamation/dredging rates to set initial sediment load limits Dredging and Reclamation During reclamation and dredging works for all phases, the monitoring outlined in Table 7.3 is recommended. The locations of the monitoring stations are shown in Figure 7.3 while the coordinates are given in Table 7.5. Table 7.3 Proposed suspended sediment (SS) plume monitoring during reclamation and dredging (Phase 4). Parameter Proposed Monitoring Programme Stations Frequency Turbidity/TSS Online instrumentation at two (2) monitoring points for two (2) depths (i.e. middle and bottom). Continuous with minimum of 30” recording intervals Suspended sediment concentration Six (6) fixed stations for three (3) depths (i.e. surface, middle, bottom) Daily Suspended sediment concentration Two (2) mobile stations at each reclamation outlet location (release location from bunded area): Daily at overflow outlet; and within 200 m of outlet. In addition to the above, monitoring of suspended sediment from dredging activity involves a number of key activities as detailed in Table 7.4. 7-8 62801230-RPT-02 Environmental Management Plan (EMP) and Environmental Monitoring Table 7.4 Suspended sediment monitoring programme for dredging activity Monitoring Activity Proposed Monitoring Monitoring of Overflow and Discharge Water from barges Suspended sediment concentrations to be measured in the overflow or discharge water from the TSHD and flow rate calculated to estimate the sediment load spilled. Four (4) overflow samples shall be taken from each hopper load; these shall be equally spaced through the discharge period. The total suspended sediment concentration will be analysed in these samples. Initial results of the measured suspended sediment concentrations shall be available to the Contractor within 48 hours of the sample being taken. Forecast / Hindcast Model Figure 7.3 The forecast / hindcast model shall be run three (3) times a week during the reclamation/dredging works.

Monitoring Stations As per during construction stage (Figure 7.5 and Table 7.17). Parameters As per during construction stage (Table 7.18). 7.2.3.2 Coastal Bathymetric Profile Monitoring In order to monitor the potential impacts of the project on the nearby coastline, bathymetric profile monitoring is recommended. These profile transects have been selected to cover the areas where there is potential for erosion/sedimentation and extend from the shoreline beach area above HAT to the -5 m CD contour to fully cover the active sediment transport area. Given the benign wave conditions behind the proposed reclamation area it is proposed to monitor the shore with fifteen coastal profiles as shown in Figure 7.6 with coordinates shown in Table 7.19. The profiles need to be undertaken using a multi-beam sounder to identify sediment layers and the data post processed to Chart Datum. 7-21 Figure 7.6 Proposed location of the coastal profile monitoring Table 7.19 Proposed 15 beach profiles for shoreline monitoring (Coordinates in UTM, metres).

Frequency and Duration It is recommended that the biological parameters be monitored as follows: Quarterly during the reclamation phase. Upon completion of phase 4, the biological monitoring shall be continuously monitored for at least another two quarters. Annually during the operation of the marine facilities.

Parameters The primary benchmarks would be no significant decrease in fish fauna at the study area and the sampling methods used need to reflect an ability to show this difference statistically. 7.2.3.4 Sea Turtles Monitoring of sea turtles will provide data on all phases of sea turtle life cycles which are known for Malacca, along with determination of potential impacts, as follows: Turtle nesting: Nesting volume Nesting success Incubation success Hatchling orientation and dispersal evaluation; Turtle Tracking; and Light monitoring. These are described further in the following subsections. 7-24 62801230-RPT-02 Environmental Management Plan (EMP) and Environmental Monitoring Turtle Nesting Frequency and Duration At least one baseline season (prior to construction start); Each season (i.e. annually) during the 10 year construction period; and Two seasons (i.e. annually for two years) post-commissioning. Stations Total eight beaches: (i) Kuala Linggi, (ii) Tg. Serai, (iii) Mariam Patah, (iv) Tg. Dahan (impact beaches), as well as (v) Teluk Gong, (vi) Padang Kemunting, (vii) Pengkalan Balak and (viii) Pasir Gembur (control beaches) Parameters Nesting volume Nesting volume (total number of tracks) will enable comparisons with past data sets. This will be determined by counting nesting tracks on the beaches every morning each season from 01 February to 30 September. Nests shall be marked for subsequent determination of incubation success, and determine nesting success (see below). The monitoring shall be recorded via daily data sheets listing nesting activity and nesting success as determined by a competent authority, cross referenced with those of DOF Malacca. Nesting success Nesting success (how many emergences result in successful nests) as a measure of effort and energy expenditure). This will be determined by assessing the nesting success of each and all of the emergent tracks on the monitoring beaches each season. Incubation success Incubation success (how many eggs develop successfully in each clutch, and how many of these result in live emergent hatchlings (a measure of reproductive output). This will be determined by marking successful nests and subsequently excavating this after incubation on the monitoring beaches each season. A minimum of 50% of nests on the monitoring beaches shall be enumerated and records shall include total number of eggs, number of dead eggs (if any), number of hatched eggs and number of dead hatchlings (if any). Hatchling orientation and dispersal evaluation Frequency and Duration At least one baseline season (prior to construction start); Each season (i.e. annually) during the 10 year construction period; and Two seasons (i.e. annually for two years) post-commissioning. Stations Total eight beaches: (i) Kuala Linggi, (ii) Tg. Serai, (iii) Mariam Patah, (iv) Tg. Dahan (impact beaches). Parameters Reports and statistics of mean offset and mean spread angles of hatchlings departing previously-marked nests Reports on hatchling dispersal from impact beaches and control beaches for a minimum of 30 hatchlings per site 7-25 Turtle Tracking Satellite tracking of sea turtles to determine potential impacts on their behaviour due to construction and shipping activities is recommended. The monitoring programmes will involve tracking post-nesting females using satellite transmitters on sea turtles at the peak of each nesting season during construction and two seasons post construction, enabling comparisons between baseline, construction and post-commissioning phases. Number: Five post-nesting female turtles Duration and timing: Annually at peak of every nesting season over the 10 year construction period and for two seasons post construction. Output: Reports including maps and density graphics for five (5) satellite tracked post-nesting sea turtles during each season. Light Monitoring The sea turtle monitoring programme will also evaluate light levels prior to construction, during construction and post commissioning at four key sites to provide comparisons across impact and non-impact beaches. Frequency and Duration Baseline – prior to construction and mobilisation of workforce and equipment During construction – quarterly Operations – quarterly for two years following commissioning of the full development. Stations Four locations as shown in Figure 7.8. Coordinates are provided in Table 7.21. 7-26 62801230-RPT-02 Environmental Management Plan (EMP) and Environmental Monitoring Figure 7.8 Light monitoring stations for turtle impacts.

Specific activities and proposed compliance monitoring are listed in Table 7.3. The most critical impact to the painted terrapin resulting from this KLIP project is the possible loss of access to nesting beaches at Kuala Linggi, and potentially down to Tg. Serai and Tg. Dahan. It is of utmost importance that a versatile monitoring programme be put in place prior to the initiation of project construction. Stations Five locations as shown in Figure 7.9 and Table 7.22. These stations are known painted terrapin nesting beaches, and would be the best indicator of the health of the painted terrapin population during the construction and operation stages of the project. Parameters and Methods A year-long monitoring programme should be drafted (and repeated or modified where necessary) as part of the work plan generated by the Lead Terrapin Researcher, that involves the monitoring of nesting beaches, monitoring of the nesting females, and the monitoring of the movements of the painted terrapins during the nesting and non-nesting seasons. The activities of painted terrapins are seasonal, hence different monitoring activities should be undertaken for the different “seasons.” Data collected from a long-term beach survey will be used to estimate the population of the painted terrapins (mark and return estimates), as well as the nesting trend (increasing or decreasing). Monitoring activities may include, but not be limited to: 7-28 Nesting Survey Nesting surveys to be conducted during the nesting season. The purpose of beach surveys is to document the distribution and landing/nesting of the painted terrapins. Clutch size Collection of the terrapin eggs from the nests to determine clutch size. Mark and recapture Microchipping of the females (nesting frequency, internesting interval, population size). Painted terrapins that emerge from the nest should be captured and microchipped allowing infield identification at any time and also long term trends in nesting and hatching success, life cycle history and evidence of return to specific beaches. An ultrasonic tracking project to determine the movements of the painted terrapins during the nesting and non-nesting months should be undertaken. These data are critical as they will show whether the terrapins would continue to nest on nesting beaches that are affected during the construction and operational phases of the KLIP. The tracking project may be conducted at the different phases of the project, in order to assess their behavioural changes to the changes in their environment. Data collected from this mark-and-recapture monitoring programme will enable an estimate the population size of the terrapins, and whether the size increases or decreases over the years. This could be done either by maintaining a presence of the nesting beaches (suitably trained student interns or volunteers) and interviews with local egg collectors. This survey should also be conducted during the nesting season. 62801230-RPT-02 Environmental Management Plan (EMP) and Environmental Monitoring Figure 7.9 Painted Terrapin monitoring stations.

The monitoring of these sensitive habitats will enable the 7-29 health and status of these areas to be measured and any adverse impacts on the habitats due to the reclamation and operation of the proposed project to be closely monitored. Frequency and Duration To ensure the proposed project will not affect these sensitive habitats, the following monitoring regime is recommended: Baseline prior to construction start Quarterly during the reclamation phase. Quarterly for one year upon completion of each reclamation phase. The habitats investigated would be the status and health of: Coral reefs at Tg. Tuan Coral reefs off Tg. Dahan Stations Two (2) stations as shown in Figure 7.10. Coordinates are listed in Table 7.23. Parameters and Methods At each site, 10 permanent quadrats (0.5 m x 0.5 m) will be fixed in situ at areas where corals are present. This will enable accurate repeated surveys to be conducted and valid results which is representative of the changes from the project over time to be obtained. Based on these quadrats, quantitative outputs will be obtained to enable clear comparison of habitat health throughout the project operations. Monitoring data to be obtained will include percentage of live coral cover and species, coral diseases, and incidences of coral bleaching. All in all, the prevalence, incidence and mortality rate of the expected disturbances on the reef will be recorded and analysed. The primary benchmark for this monitoring would be no significant deterioration of coral reef health at the study area. 7-30 62801230-RPT-02 Environmental Management Plan (EMP) and Environmental Monitoring 7.2.3.7 Figure 7.10 Location of coral reef monitoring stations.

Parameters Parameters to be recorded for ambient noise level monitoring during construction and operation are: Equivalent Continuous Sound (Leq) Maximum sound pressure level over monitoring period (Lmax) Statistical indices (L90, L10) “A” weighted noise levels should be monitored at each station over at least 24 hours continuously (12-hours day and 12-hours night) using a pre-calibrated precision integrating noise meter. 7.2.3.9 Fisheries Activities Frequency and Duration Three sample sets prior to construction start/ then monthly for first 12 months; Thereafter quarterly during the reclamation / dredging and reclamation phase and up to 6 months upon completion of construction. Half yearly during the operation of the marine facilities. Stations Three fish landing areas around the project site. 7-33 Methodology Examine landings in terms of volume and species diversity. This shall be undertaken through interviews with fishmongers and selected fishermen supported by data from the Department of Fisheries. This is to establish causes and enable remedial action to be taken at the earliest possible. 7.2.3.10 Social Impact Impact monitoring in the socioeconomic sense refers to ongoing community consultation with respect to issues identified as potentially significant during the EIA study, and also to determine whether any other unforeseen problems emerge following construction start. Methodology Community/ Community Leaders Working Group (CWG) It is proposed that the project proponent assign a liaison person, to facilitate a committee of the Community/ Community Leaders Working Group. With constant community engagement through the working group, project information disbursement will be more effective while community concerns can be addressed through collective efforts. Grievance Mechanism Besides through the Community/ Community Leaders Working Group, it is proposed that the project proponent prepare a grievance mechanism to look into complaints by the affected communities directly. Complaint centres can be set up at areas where the local community can voice their concerns with respect to the project activities. These can be located at the site office, RTC Kuala Linggi, Fishermen Association Melaka Barat office at Kuala Sungai Baru and Fishermen Association of Teluk Kemang at Kampung Telok. All complaints are required to be registered. The complaints register will need to record the date of the complaint, nature of complaint, date and nature of response, follow up action and resolution date. All entries into this complaints register will be summarised in the Environmental Monitoring reports. Details of the proposed monitoring elements are given in Table 7.26. All monitoring is the responsibility of the project proponent, who may also assign the tasks to its contractors and subcontractors (but remains the responsibility of the project proponent), unless otherwise specified.

However, during dredging and reclamation (Phase 4) this should be increased to monthly to report the findings of the more frequent monitoring activities at this stage. During operations, bi-annual reporting is required. 7.3 Emergency Response Plan (ERP) An Emergency Response Plan (ERP) will be established for both construction and operational stages. The ERP shall address at least the following: Marine collision Oil Pollution Emergency Plan Fire on the vessel(s) or on the marine facilities Fire and chemical spill drills should be conducted regularly for all associated facilities’ to ensure that all members of the Emergency Response Team are well prepared and understand their individual roles and accountability during a fire or chemical spill incident. Operations will be suspended or otherwise amended immediately if an environmental incident occurs that may be exacerbated by continued operations. 7.3.1 Compliance Monitoring 7.3.2 SOP/EOP to be submitted to Marine Department and other relevant authorities prior to commencement of construction and operations. Monitor and record incidents, including “near hits” and incorporate into RRP review and update. All equipment required in the implementation of the emergency response plan must be on site and maintained on schedule in order to respond to any emergency such as oil spill effectively and efficiently. Inspection and verification of the emergency response equipment and gear (firefighting equipment, oil spill response equipment etc.) to be conducted bi-annually. Oil Spill In the event that oil products are spilled into the sea or an oil slick is observed, the Captain/Vessel master and/or port operation manager shall be notified immediately by the person observing the oil spill, giving the following information so that the necessary steps can be taken: Location of incident; Type and size of spill; and 7-35 Other relevant information If considered a Tier 1 spill (Local and low volume) the Captain/Vessel Master and/or Port Operation Manager is responsible for the compliance and execution of the Oil Spill Contingency/Response Plan, where applicable. Steps to be taken will include: Stop the spill source immediately; Remove floating oil with absorbent or skimming; and Deploy containment booms to control flow dispersion of spillage. If the oil spill is too large for a Tier 1 response, Tier 2 (state level) or Tier 3 (regional level) will be activated, where by DOE Malaysia will be notified by the Contractor, and may be required to stay involved in the clean-up process. The Existing Port has Tier 1 response capability but has a policy of making its vessels available for Tier 2./3. All maritime contractors need to be notified that the nearest stockpile, as listed in the National Oil Spill Contingency Plan for this project is in Port Dickson and managed by Petroleum Industry of Malaysia Mutual Aid Group. Responsibility for contacting them sits with DOE, unless a request is for Tier 1. 7.3.3 Collision at Sea In all cases, the Captain / Vessel Master from colliding vessel have the final responsibility for the safety of the vessel and people on board as required under international law (COLREGS). Immediately after the collision or as soon as a real danger of collision is known to exist, the Captain/Vessel Master has the prevailing authority to order the termination of all operations and to choose all necessary means with regard to the security of the vessel and crew and needs to act accordingly as required in the COLREGS and in accordance with good seamen ship. 7.4 Project Closure 7.4.1 Design for Decommissioning It is important to anticipate the decommissioning activities and incorporate them in the design phase. “Design for decommissioning” principles are recommended. The “design for decommissioning” is a proactive approach and includes the following considerations during the planning stage: Using materials that are easy to recycle or reuse. Using modular designs to make it easier to assemble, disassemble and transport parts of the facilities Minimising the use of hazardous materials. Minimising the amount of contaminated material or hazardous waste that will be generated upon decommissioning. Make arrangements for ongoing servicing of site specific navigations markers Establishing the contractual liabilities of the Operators (i.e. purchaser/ developer of lots); i.e. the company should be responsible for pollution caused by their own operations, such that the Operator should: 7-36 Consider any insurance requirements Make provisions for future costs 62801230-RPT-02 Environmental Management Plan (EMP) and Environmental Monitoring 7.4.2 Project Abandonment or Decommissioning In the event of project closure or abandonment, the compliance monitoring to be implemented varies depending on the stages the project is in and may include the activities outlined in Table 7.27. The required decommissioning plan following any period of operations is described further in Section 7.4.3. Table 7.27 Compliance audit for project closure or abandonment (monthly during decommissioning). Required activity Compliance monitoring Abandonment during Construction Removal of construction machinery List of machineries and site inspection with photographic evidence Removal of construction waste Site inspection and photographic evidence Appropriate management and disposal of scheduled wastes Site inspection and photographic evidence of collection area; log of disposal / chain of custody Construction of revetment/bund wall to stabilise reclaimed area. Layout plan and photographic evidence Landscaping of exposed areas Site inspection and photographic record. Decommissioning following Operations Preparation of Decommissioning Plan Submission / notification to relevant authorities Dismantling and removal of tanks, pipes and other equipment or structures Site inspection and photographic record.

The Decommissioning Plan shall take due consideration of the regulatory framework with respect to the specific activity including: Identification of all legal requirements and consultations with the appropriate authorities at an early stage in the decommissioning planning phase. Notifications: appropriate notifications need to be made to DOE when decommissioning activities are planned. Additional pollution prevention measures or remediation may be required depending on the planned future uses of the land. The Decommissioning Plan shall include a contamination assessment requirement whereby the Operator shall assess the state of soil contamination by the relevant hazardous substances used, produced or released as a result of the operations and compare with the baseline 7-37 conditions. In the event of significant environmental damage, the Operator shall adopt measures and develop practices for remediation of land damage aiming at reaching the baseline condition. Depending on the outcome of the environmental risk assessment and degree of environmental damage cause, the Operator shall take the necessary actions aimed at the removal, control, containment or reduction of relevant hazardous substances, The Operator shall adopt general HSE guidelines for prevention and control of health and safety impacts. The key topics to address in the Decommissioning Plan include: Noise and vibration (e.g. during use of cranes, transportation of materials and people Soil erosion and sedimentation control in the event of excavation activities Air quality (decommissioning activities may generate emissions of fugitive dust, uncontrolled release of hazardous materials or gases); Hazardous materials (release of petroleum based products such as lubricants, hydraulic fluids, PCBs, oil etc. during storage, transport or use in equipment, spill clean-up material, etc.). Solid waste (release of non-hazardous materials such as scrap and cement building materials). Environmental monitoring and reporting to be undertaken (e.g. storage tank emissions to air and water, effluent discharges, and waste disposal). After the site is closed the Operator remains responsible for monitoring, reporting and corrective measures until the site is returned to the satisfactory state. 7.5 Final EMP Requirements Prior to start of works, an EMP document is to be submitted and approved by DOE including: Contractual responsibilities and liabilities. Details of dredging plan. Emergency Response Plan (specific to the Contractor’s equipment and methodologies). This should cover emergency preparedness to manage any of the following: Marine works Marine collision at dredging area Fire on vessel Wildlife incident (marine megafauna strikes or entrainment). In addition, given its intended purpose as a stand-alone document, the Final EMP should also contain: 7-38 A description of the proposed dredging, construction and operational activities and associated development; A summary of the potential environmental impacts from the project; Environmental management (mitigation) measures which will be addressed during the proposed works; and Roles and responsibilities for implementation of the EMP and reporting requirements. 62801230-RPT-02 Study Findings 8 Study Findings This Schedule 2 EIA Report has assessed the potential environmental impacts associated with the Proposed Reclamation and Development of Kuala Linggi International Port (KLIP) at Kuala Linggi, Malacca, Malaysia. The assessment has covered the impacts arising from the construction and operations of the proposed project, including the reclamation of land, capital dredging, and construction of the marine and onshore facilities and finally the general operations of the port. The assessment of impacts is based on a review of the project activities as described by the project proponent and addresses the issues identified during the EIA scoping phase as presented in the revised TOR. The assessment acknowledges that any development will have effects on the biophysical and socioeconomic environment of both a negative, and in some cases, a positive nature. The location of this project places it in close juxtaposition to a number of environmentally sensitive areas. The nature of the reclamation is such that it will lead to an irreversible change in the area to be developed. The original physical, biological resources and productivity within the project footprint will be lost permanently and this not only represents a loss of habitat but also part of an important fishery resource for the local fishermen. The coastline fronting the project is actively eroding and this is leading to the loss of turtle nesting areas. It is concluded, however, that the reclamation footprint to create the port will diminish, if not reverse, this erosional process and facilitate the restoration of the beach. Apart from that, it is proposed that beach nourishment be carried out for the beach area fronting the project area as a mitigating measure to address potential erosion in this area during the course of the project construction. One of the primary concerns during the reclamation and dredging works for the project is the impact of suspended sediments on the marine environment. This has been addressed though the control of production rate ensured by intensive compliance and impact monitoring in order to reduce impacts on corals and marine fauna to acceptable levels. Another key issue that emerged from the assessments relate to the potential impact on sea turtles and painted terrapins. Both species are of international conservation significance and their conservation is a major concern for both Federal and State Governments. The impact assessment, for the painted terrapin in particular, has been hampered by the lack of knowledge of the biology, life-cycle and distribution of this species in the study area and beyond. While no severe impacts are predicted as a result of the changes to the physical environment, the impact assessment reflects the uncertainties surrounding the present conservation status of these key species and the likely impacts on them. In particular uncertainties remain with respect to the location and abundance of the terrapin’s nesting locations and its behavioural responses to disturbance related to construction activity and potential, partial obstruction to customary migration routes due to the project footprint. Similarly, their response to potential slight changes in nesting beach conditions whereby the deposition of fines on the Kuala Linggi beach immediately around the project site remains an uncertainty. In order to address these uncertainties and risks, the environmental management plan incorporates comprehensive monitoring of sea turtles and terrapins throughout the ten year construction phase and beyond, that will not only assist in management of potential impacts of this proposed project during its implementation, but will also contribute to the body of knowledge of these species to support conservation efforts in Sg. Linggi, the Malacca region and elsewhere in Malaysia. Impacts on the human environment relate primarily to the local fishermen. A range of mitigation measures have been proposed, including compensation, provision of artificial reefs, and 8-1 training opportunities to ensure alternative resources or livelihoods are available to the affected fishermen. Other impacts to the wider community have been shown to be minor - the air quality assessments and QRA carried out for the project has determined that the buffer zone is sufficient to accommodate the required safety separation between the project and the land use and prevent impacts to human health in the surrounding areas, while the employment and entrepreneurial opportunities proffered by the project is expected to result in significant benefits to the local community as well as the state and national economy. In conclusion, the EIA study has found that, with the incorporation of the recommended mitigation measures and implementation of the Environmental Management Plan, the project can be implemented with acceptable environmental impacts and risk and an overall positive outcome. 8-2 62801230-RPT-02 References 9 References Sections 1 to 4 /1/ Department of Environment, 2015.
