I. INTRODUCTION
The proposed Project is known as the PORT KLANG REFRIGERATED LPG STORAGE AT WESTPORT
BULK TERMINAL, PART OF PT 0104434, DISTRICT OF KLANG, SELANGOR DARUL EHSAN,
MALAYSIA.
The proposed development covers circa 18 acres on Lot PT 0104434, Pulau Indah, Daerah Klang,
Selangor Darul Ehsan. The proposed development is bordered by YTL Cement Sdn Bhd on the western
side and by KLK Oleomas Sdn Bhd on the southern side. The main access road to the proposed site is via
Persiaran Sungai Pinang, connecting with Lebuhraya Pulau Indah. The proposed Project is a refrigerated
LPG storage and distribution terminal.
The proposed development is initiated by GPS Klang Terminal Sdn Bhd. Any enquiries with regards to
the development can be directed to:
The environmental consultant commissioned to undertake the Environmental Impact Assessment study is
Environment Asia Sdn Bhd. The official contact address is listed below.
The analytical laboratory engaged to carry out monitoring of water, air, noise and vibration levels is ChemVi
Environmental Sdn Bhd, a Skim Akreditasi Makmal Malaysia (SAMM) accredited laboratory.
The objectives of the study are to identify any potential impacts of the proposed Project activities that are
significant. For significant impacts of the proposed Project, mitigating measures have been recommended
where appropriate so that these impacts are minimized to acceptable levels.
The Terms of Reference (TOR) for the proposed Project was prepared and submitted to DOE Selangor on
th th
4 May 2017. The TOR endorsement from DOE was obtained on 25 May 2017.
There is a deficit in LPG supply in Malaysia and is forecasted to rise in the future, thus, GPS Klang Terminal
Sdn Bhd seizes the opportunity to build a terminal in Port Klang in order to improve the supply reliability and
increase cost stability as well as overcome the shortcomings in the current mode of supply.
In addition to the above, the Project is also in line with the Eleventh Malaysia Plan, National Physical
Plan-2, Structural Plan of Selangor 2020 and Rancangan Tempatan Majlis Perbandaran Klang
(Pengubahan 1).
V. LEGAL REQUIREMENTS
The proposed Project falls under Activity 9(d): Petroleum (Construction of product depot for the
storage of petrol, gas or diesel which has the combined storage capacity of 60,000 barrels or
more (excluding service station within 3 km from any commercial, industrial or residential area)
under the First Schedule in the Environmental Quality (Prescribed Activities) (Environmental Impact
Assessment) Order 2015.
The proposed development covers an area of 18 acres, which is currently a vacant land with secondary
vegetation. The Project site is accessible via Persiaran Sungai Pinang. The development components
comprise of refrigerated storage tanks, pressurized mounded horizontal storage tanks, piping system,
bottling facilities and supplementary equipment.
The overall Project implementation schedule will begin from 2018 and to be completed by November 2019.
The layout plan of the proposed Project is as shown below in Figure B.
In the event of “No Development”, the proposed Project site will be left as an undeveloped land located
within the port area. The consequence of not developing the land will inevitably lead to the loss of local
development from economic and social aspects.
The development of this proposed Project will be the preferred option as this development is expected to
secure the supply of LPG into Malaysia and maintain the cost stability which is in accordance with the
Eleventh Malaysia Plan. Besides, this proposed Project will stimulate the economic growth and bring social
benefits to the local community.
Environmental
No. Description
Component
A. Physical Environment
The Project site is generally flat with the ground levels of about RL 4 m and is
1. Topography
located at the northern shoreline of Pulau Indah.
Pulau Indah and the surrounding areas lie on marine and continental deposits:
2. Geology
clay, silt, sand, peat with minor gravel.
The Project site lies on the Kranji soil series which consist of bluish grey sticky
3. Soil
and structure less clay.
Hydrology & The runoff from Pulau Indah flows into Sg. Chandong Besar which
4.
Streamflow subsequently discharges into Straits of Klang.
2. Infrastructure & Indah Water Konsortium (IWK) is mainly responsible for operating and
Utilities maintaining the public sewage treatment plants and network of underground
sewerage pipelines in the State of Selangor. The road that connects Pulau
Indah and the mainland is Lebuhraya Pulau Indah while the Project site is
accessible via Persiaran Sungai Pinang from Lebuhraya Pulau Indah.
General and domestic waste will be disposed in rubbish bins and these will be
emptied and removed by a contractor engaged by the Klang Municipal
Council. The solid waste collected will be disposed at the approved municipal
dumpsite of Jeram landfill, District of Kuala Selangor.
A. Pre-Construction Phase
No impacts are expected Preliminary investigation works including site survey and baseline
during pre-construction monitoring for water quality, air quality, noise levels and soil sediment
phase quality.
B. Construction Phase
The estimated total rate of soil loss for the project site under the existing
condition is 1.004 t/ha/yr. The average rate of soil loss during the
construction phase (worst case) is estimated to be 15.921 t/ha/yr while
Soil Erosion and the rate of soil loss with implementation of mitigation measure is 12.972
Sedimentation t/ha/yr. During operational phase, the average rate of soil loss is
estimated at 0.041 t/ha/yr.
3
The cut volume to be carried out is 4,463.22cm while the fill volume is
3
11,641.56 cm .
Temporary drains and sediment basin will be constructed to
Drainage and Flooding
accommodate the change in surface runoff.
The potential impacts to the water quality from construction activities
are as follows:
- Spillage or/and leakage of waste oils, fuels, and lubricants from
vehicles or equipment may cause oil or grease contamination of
Water Pollution the receiving waterway.
- Sediment runoff during construction phase may increase TSS and
turbidity level.
- Indiscriminate disposal of solid wastes from construction activities
and construction debris will deteriorate the water quality.
The predominant wind direction was from northwest and north direction
(wind rose data from 2011-2010). There are no sensitive receptors
located downwind of the prevailing wind direction.
Air Pollution
The potential sensitive receptors are located towards the east of the
Projects site and approximately 0.73 km away from the site and will not
be affected.
Noise is expected to be from heavy vehicles, piling activity and other
machinery operating within the Project site.
The estimated noise levels at the sensitive receptor based on modelling
Noise Pollution results were lower compared to the existing background noise.
The impact is expected to be short-term and the disturbance will cease
upon completion of the construction phase.
Impact arising will depend on the state of progress that had been
achieved prior to work stoppage.
Project Abandonment There is little potential environmental impact with the proper removal
and disposal of construction / demolition debris and de-mobilization of
equipment.
C. Operational Phase
Risk/ Accidents The inherent hazards associated with the operations are fires and
explosion
Hazardous materials handled on-site include flammable liquid, i.e. ethyl
mercaptan, and flammable gases, i.e. butane and propane.
All incidents do not impose unacceptable risks on industrial or
residential areas.
The risk contours showed that individual risk levels at 1 per million per
-6 -6 -5
year (1 x 10 ) and 10 per million per year (10 x 10 or 1 x 10 ) is
deemed acceptable and certainly do not effect neighbouring land users
or any sensitive receptors.
Drainage and Flooding Surface runoff within the Project site is expected to increase resulting
from the reduction in rainfall infiltration capacity of the soil due to the
presence of build-up units.
Water Pollution Soil erosion and sedimentation problem is insignificant upon operation
due to paved and tarred surface.
Potential source of water pollution could be from the contaminated
surface runoff during maintenance of equipment.
Air Pollution Potential source of air pollution will be from vehicles entering and
exiting the terminal.
No significant impacts to the air quality as the air modelling results
showed that the highest predicted 1-hour average CO concentration is
0.7 ppm, which is much lower than the New Malaysia Ambient Air
Quality Standard.
Noise Pollution The predicted cumulative noise level generated from the operational
activities to the nearest residential area is 62.5 dB(A).
The predicted noise generated by vehicular traffic will not cause any
change to the ambient noise levels at the nearest receptors for both
daytime and nighttime periods.
Traffic Generation The vehicular traffic is expected to generate about 10 trucks per hour in
a 12 hour shift.
The existing road system is deemed capable of handling the additional
traffic volume.
Socio Economics Impact The proposed development is expected to create some business and
employment opportunities for the local population.
The operation of the terminal is not expected to cause any adverse
impact on the public health and safety.
Solid Waste and Domestic and office wastes are expected from the daily activities at the
Scheduled Waste terminal.
Generation Scheduled waste will be generated in small quantities due to
maintenance of equipment.
Project Abandonment The abandonment of built-up sites creates unaesthetic visual
repercussions and a suitable habitat of harbouring pests and disease
vectors and indulgence in anti-social behaviour and activities.
Mitigation measures recommended for the above impacts are summarized in Table A.

During the operational phase, the identified residual impacts on air quality, noise levels, water
quality, traffic and accidents are expected to be insignificant.
XIII. CONCLUSION
Based on the Environmental Impact Assessment study conducted, the project will generate both
beneficial and negative impacts during its implementation. During the construction phase, there are
some minor environmental impacts such as water quality, air quality and noise nuisance. However,
these impacts are temporary and limited to the period of the construction works. During operational
phase, the Quantitative Risk Assessment has shown that the risks associated with the terminal are
acceptable within prescribed limits. Other environmental issues such as water pollution, noise
nuisance and air pollution will be insignificant with the appropriate mitigation measures
implemented. The adoption of the LD-P2M2 will provide the basic tools to ensure successful
implementation of the project with minimum impacts.
