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. It contains a written description of the proposed measures to be
implemented in order to achieve and maintain acceptable levels of environmental impact. In
summary, the objectives of this EMP are:



7.1.2
To provide practical and achievable plans for the management of the proposed project,
such that environmental requirements are complied with through monitoring and control
of the predicted impacts;
To provide the Project Proponent and the regulatory authorities with a framework in order
to comply with environmental policies and requirements and confirm that this is happening;
and
To establish an environmental monitoring and audit programme to track environmental
performance, and acts as an early trigger to remediate environmental non-conformance,
if any.

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.

Painted Terrapin
The present state of the scientific knowledge needed to identify impacts on terrapins from the
proposed project as distinct to other impacts critical to the survival of the species is not
available at this time.
Using a precautionary approach to managing any likely impacts is proposed, and is expressed
as the funding of the necessary population and environmental monitoring which can also be
coupled with further research into the life stages of the painted terrapin at Sg. Linggi which are
also not understood but critical to conservation management planning and action. Proposed
research projects include assessing the reproductive biology of the painted terrapin in the Sg.
Linggi area; and the relationship between habitat use and disease. These projects could be
led by a Lead Researcher for the period of the development and into the operational phase,
over a period of 10 years for example, but may also involve numerous students and/or

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.

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.

Painted Terrapins
Due to the population status of the painted terrapins in Sg Linggi (Vulnerable) and their
sensitivity to various changes to their environment and habitats, it is crucial to monitor their
behaviour as a result of the changes that take place during the construction and operation
stages. 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.

Coral Reefs
Coral reefs are among the most important of marine ecosystems and support a wide variety
of biodiversity at the study area. 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.

Noise monitoring during the construction and operation phases will be carried out at the same
locations as the air quality stations shown in Figure 7.11 and Table 7.24 above. Note that the
location and number of stations will finalised in the EMP in accordance with the detailed
construction schedule to reflect timing of the stages of topside development.
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.

Reporting Requirements
During construction works it is proposed that quarterly Environmental Monitoring Reports
documenting the monitoring activities and findings as outlined in the previous sections are
submitted to DOE Malacca. 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

Decommissioning Plan
Decommissioning includes dismantling, demolition and disposal of buildings and
infrastructure. 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

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.
