ES3 EXISTING ENVIRONMENT

Topography and Geology

The topography of SAMUR area is low lying area with elevation ranged from 8 m above mean sea
level to 24.6 m above mean sea level. Only the area to the southeast of the proposed Project site
is consist of rolling area as the elevation is 19.7 m above mean sea level.

Regional geology of the proposed project site is underlain by hard dark Clay with Shale (Sand
Stone) fragments. The granite bedrock is predominantly megacrystic consisting of alkaline
feldspar megacryst set in an allotriomorphoic to hydiomorphic groundmass probably aged Late
Triassic. Based on Geological Memoir 17 The Geology and Mineral Resources of the Labuan
and Paths Valley Area, Sabah, Malaysia by Geological Survey Borneo Region, Malaysia. The
general geological setting of the site consists of Meligan Formation, Liang Formation and Recent
Alluvium deposits

Drainage System

Surface runoff from the project site flows into the existing unnamed streams which were not
gazetted as river by the Department of Drainage and Irrigation (DID) and known as Stream 1 and
Stream 2. These streams flow from the Southeast to the Southwest of project boundary. On the
Northwest of project boundary, there was Sg. Senulop which flows from the Southwest and
subsequently flows into the South China Sea (Figure 11). The existing streams within the project
boundary consist of two (2) types which is Sg. Senulop maintains a constant flow, Stream 1 and
Stream 2 are only ephemeral due to small catchment area, and high infiltration into the sandy
soils below.

Landuse

The areas surrounding the proposed SAMUR Plant is dominated by scrub forest. The proposed
Project site is bounded by the Brunei Bay and South China Sea on the north, Mengalong Forest
Reserve on the east and shooting range on the west.

The proposed new pipeline route is bounded by the Mengalong Forest Reserve and the South
China Sea on the north, Mengalong River, secondary forest, residential and industrial area on the
east, Mengalong River, paddy field and residential area on the west and secondary forest on the
south (Figure 12).

Meteorology

Based on meteorological data, the Project area has a tropical climate with high relative humidity
and uniform temperature ranging from 27.3 C to 28.5C . The main wind direction is from the
South (15.3%), Southwest (14.3%), West (13.9%) and North (13.7%). The percentage of calm
wind is 8.1%. The climate is strongly influenced by the Southwest and Northeast Monsoons.

Soil Quality

Baseline soil quality was measured at three (3) sampling stations within the Project site.
Parameters measured were Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon, heavy metals (e.g. Arsenic, Beryllium,
Cadmium, Chromium, Cobalt, Copper, Lead, Mercury, Molybdenum, Nickel, Tin, Zinc, Zinc, Iron,
Manganese, Vanadium and Barium) and Oil & Grease. The results of analyses show the values
are below the Optimum Standard of the New Dutch List (DIV) at each sampling station site.

River Water Quality

Baseline river water quality was measured at seven (7) sampling stations within the Project site.
35 parameters measured were pH, temperature, Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical
Oxygen Demand (COD), Total suspended Solids (TSS), Heavy Metals, Fluoride, Phenol, Free
Chlorine, Sulphide, Oil & Grease, Ammoniacal Nitrogen, Formaldehyde, Colour, Faecal Coliform
and Total Coliform. The results of analysis show the values are within the Interim National Water
Quality Standard (INWQS).

Ambient Air Quality

Baseline ambient air quality was measured at eight (8) sampling stations within the Project site.
Six (6) parameters measured were Total Suspended Particulates (TSP), Particulate Matter 10 m
(PM10), Sulphur Dioxide (SO
2
), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO
2
), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Ammonia (NH
3
)
and Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) and the results of analyses show the values are below the
Malaysian Recommended Air Quality Guidelines (MRAQG) at each sampling station site.

Noise Levels

Noise levels were measured at seven (7) different locations within the Project site during day time
and nighttime. Four (4) stations located within the proposed SAMUR Plant site and another three
(3) stations located within the proposed SAMUR pipeline site. Noise level within the SAMUR Plant
recorded during day and nighttime were within the permissible level of 70dBA and 60dBA
respectively as stipulated in the DOE Guidelines - The Planning Guidelines for Environmental
Noise Limit and Control. Noise sources observed during day and nighttime were mainly from
the vehicles movement in and out of the Project site and the community activities within the area.

Noise level within the SAMUR Pipeline recorded during day and nighttime were slightly higher
than the permissible level of 50dBA and 40dBA respectively as stipulated in the DOE Guidelines
- The Planning Guidelines for Environmental Noise Limit and Control. Noise sources
observed during day and nighttime were mainly from the paddy farmers activity and intermittent
pubic vehicular movement.

Flora and Fauna
The flora of proposed Project site is typical of disturbed secondary Kerangas Forest dominated by
Acasia mangium. The Acasia mangium and Baeckea frutescens also dominated the nearby area
of the Mengalong Forest Reserve. The surrounding areas are prone to forest fire based on field
observation. Most of the trees are seedling or juvenile

The results of the observation on wildlife indicated that the habitat is a simple and very much
altered environment. The majority of the species that have been observed are birds that have
adapted to small bush, orchards, reeds and grass, and coastal mudflats. Otherwise, none of the
observed species are listed in any of the endangered list either under the Sabah Wildlife
Enactment or under the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) initiatives.


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

May 2011 ES-19
Land Traffic

Land traffic was carried out at two (2) locations; LT1 at T-Junction at the main road of Kota
Kinabalu Lawas and LT2 at T-Junction at Kg. Kuala Mengalong Jln Pantai Luagan from 7.00
a.m. to 7.00 p.m. Analyses indicates that more vehicles were heading from Lawas to Kota
Kinabalu (202 vehicles per hour) than from Kota Kinabalu to Lawas (174 vehicles per hour). Rate
of vehicles from Lawas entering the Kg. Kuala Mengalong Pantai Luagan road per hour are 14
vehicles per hour while vehicles entering the road from Kota Kinabalu is 17 vehicles per hour.

Marine Water Quality

Marine water sampling was carried out at seven (7) locations within 750 m from shoreline up to
the control station located 3,600 m from shoreline. The parameters analyzed for marine water
were in-situ readings (e.g. temperature , salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), conductivity,
turbidity), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Chlorophyll-a, Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon (TPH),
Total Organic Carbon (TOC), Oil & Grease (O&G), Heavy Metals, Phenol, Nitrate and Sulphide.
Generally all the parameter levels were within the CLASS 2 of Marine Water Quality Criteria
and Standards for Malaysia (MWQCS).

Seabed Sediment Quality

Sediment samples were collected from seven (7) sampling stations at the same locations for the
marine water samples. The key parameters analyzed for sediment quality are Heavy Metals,
Total Hydrocarbon, Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH), Oil & Grease and Particle Size
Distribution (PSD). The results of analysis were within The New Dutch List (DIV) Standard.

Marine Traffic

Total annual number of vessels within 20 nm of the proposed Project at Sipitang, Sabah is
estimated to be 5,240 vessels, where the main type vessels contributor are identified as Ferry
(97.5%) followed by Container (1.3%), Merchant (1.1%) and Supply (0.1%) vessels.

There are a few major ports operating in the in the vicinity of the proposed Project site and
Sipitang port such as Labuan Port at (Sabah), Muara Port (Brunei Darusalam), Tanjong Salirong
Port (Brunei Darusalam), Lawas Port (Sarawak) and Menumbok Jetty (Sabah). Sipitang port
which is located approximately 5 nm away from the proposed Project site is considered as an
area with less marine traffic as it has only one shipping route.

Fisheries

Fisheries survey was carried within the Project area. Based on the fishing survey it is found out to
be that the area has a comparatively low Catch Effort. Interview with the fishermen revealed that
most of the fishermen do not fish within the Project area as they know that catches are low and
unreliable and most of their catches are for self-consumption. Findings from the fish market
survey indicate that almost 100% of the fishes sold in the market are imported from other districts.


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

May 2011 ES-20
Marine Biology

In this study, Chlorophyll-a recorded at all sampling stations were less than 5 mg/L and
comparable to chlorophyll-a recorded at control station.

Total species of phytoplankton identified at the marine water sampling stations varies between 29
to 35. The average phytoplankton density is about 1.49 X 10
6
cells/m
3
which indicated that
phytoplankton community in the area is high in diversity. The five (5) most dominant diatoms
species found in the study area were Chaetoceros diversus, Coscinodiscus sp, Thalassionema
nitzschioides, Chaetoceros coarctatus and Chaetoceros pseudocurvisetus . The Shannon-Wiener
Diversity Index (H) ranged from a value of 3.3028 to 3.5074 with an average of 3.3864 which
indicate that the water in the surrounding area is considered healthy and free from pollution

Average density of zooplankton recorded at all sampling stations is 230 ind/m
3
with total no.of
species recorded at all stations ranged from 16 species to 28 species. The zooplankton
community were represented by six (6) different groups and mostly dominated by the copepods
(84.5%). The Shannon-Wiener Diversity Index (H) ranged from a value of 2.2883 to 2.7666 and
indicate that the water in the surrounding area is considered healthy and free from pollution.

Average density of macrobenthos recorded at all sampling stations is 236 ind/m
2
with total no. of
species recorded at all stations ranged from 14 species to 27 species. The zooplankton
community were represented by six (6) different groups and mostly dominated by the Annelida
(61.1%). The Shannon-Wiener Diversity Index (H) ranged from a value of 2.3807 to 3.5236 and
indicates that the water in the surrounding area is considered healthy and free from pollution thus
concludes that the macrobenthos species in this area are diverse.

ES4 SOCIO-ECONOMY

Based on the findings from the socio economic study, it can be concluded that the population of
Sipitang is responding positively towards the proposed SAMUR Project as they foresee the
project as potential for upgrading their standards of living. SAMUR development is seen as their
potential source of income from the non lucrative and non dependable income in the agriculture
and fisheries sector. Based on the past similar development by PETRONAS in other part of
Malaysia, the implementation of a downstream oil and gas industries will also requires the existing
infrastructure to be upgraded and this includes a good land, marine and air transportation
systems, supporting retail businesses and adequate housing and accommodations to support the
potential influx of workers. At the same time, ample job opportunities will also be created for the
locals and there will be demands for both skilled and non skilled workers. The development will
results in the transformation of a small township into a busy oil and gas hub with self sustaining
facilities. In summary, the implementation of SAMUR project will generate beneficial economic
advantages that will ripples beyond the Sipitang District to Sabah State. Sabah will have the
advantages of exploiting the States resources from the offshore and expand its income from the
oil and gas sector.

ES5 POTENTIAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

The Project generates both beneficial and potential impacts on the environment in terms of
physical and social aspects. The environmental impact assessment takes into consideration the
activities carry out during the pre-construction, construction of SAMUR Plant, construction of
SAMUR Jetty, installation of gas pipeline from SSGP tie-in point to SAMUR Plant and operation of
the Project. During land clearing, earthworks, construction and operation, the impacts are air,
noise and marine pollution; solid wastes and Scheduled Wastes disposal; traffic and socio-
economic. The assessment of the potential environmental impacts has been found to be mainly
localized, short-term and insignificant. Appropriate mitigation measures are recommended to
minimize the potential impacts to within acceptable levels as summarized in Table 1.

Coastal and Coastal Structure

The construction of a piled jetty will not
cause any blockage of littoral transport and
it will not cause increased sedimentation
near the site. Hence, only localised impacts
with minimum scour and deposition around
the piles are expected.

Preservation of the mangrove vegetation is important to
maintain the stability of the coastal profile.

Sediment Pl ume Dispersi on

The sediment plumes generated by the piling
works for the construction of the jetty will have
a limited extend mainly deposit within the

Sediment concentrations above the normal
visible limit will occur for shorter periods only
at the shallow areas where the background
concentration is high.
Sediment concentrations and sedimentation
critical to marine habitats is not to be
expected outside the work area.

Appropriate control of drainage from surface runoff from
the site is necessary to minimize sedimentation.
Effective siltation basins shall be in place prior to
discharge to the sea. Silt basins must be monitored and
maintained regularly to ensure its effectiveness

Water Quali ty

The pipeline installation will involve
crossing of the Mengalong River with a top
width of 30 m. Clearing of vegetation, land
grading, excavation, and storage of topsoil
in the Project area may result in increased
soil erosion and sediment load carried by
surface runoff from the disturbed areas.

Mobilization and operation of equipment,
fuel and materials storage and transfer
operations, equipment maintenance
activities, operating accidents and waste
disposal may contaminate the surface
water bodies.
The location of the river crossing point shall take into
consideration on the river morphology. This is because
crossing at the straight sections of the river are less
likely to erode laterally then on curved sections;
Disturbance to the riverbank vegetation must be
minimized to the absolute minimum for access and
construction. In the event of removal of the riverbank
vegetation to be carried out, replantation and
restoration of the vegetation need to be done;
No temporary site camp or accommodation to be
located within 50 m from the riverbank;
The pipeline to be buried at least 2 m below the
riverbank and 1 m below the riverbed;
The corner points of the pipe (bottom of bank) must be
placed on strong, piled foundations to be self supporting
in case of riverbank movement or bank collapse;
Domestic wastewater generated at workers cabin or
other areas with large number of workers must be
treated prior to disposal; and
Sanitary waste facilities constructed for the project will
be dismantled and removed following project
construction. Solid waste management practices will
include at a minimum containment of solid waste and
debris at recepticals located at appropriate intervals.
Proper handling of solid waste will prevent water quality
impacts to surface and ground waters.

ES6 RESIDUAL IMPACT

In regards to the assessment carried out for the potential impact that may be generated due to the
project implementation, it is predicted that there will be some residual impacts; impacts that may
remain even after mitigation measures have been adopted and implemented. These impacts are
odour to the surrounding areas, noise due to the plants operation and in case of abnormal
activities (e.g. shut down, turn around, etc.) and impact to marine water and marine ecology due
to the effluent discharge from the waste water treatment plant or chemical spillage during the
loading and unloading activity at the jetty.

ES7 QUANTITATIVE RISK ASSESSMENT

A QRA study for Sabah Ammonia and Urea (SAMUR) Plants was conducted based on
consideration of releases that may occur as a result of loss of containment from the onsite
hazards and external hazards. The calculated levels of risk concluded that The 1 x 10-6, 1 x 10-5
and 1 x 10-4 fatalities per year risk contours are mostly within the plant boundary, whereby no
residential and industrial facilities are affected with a risk greater than 1 x 10-6, 1 x 10-5 and 1 x
10-4 fatalities per year respectively. The risk levels of 1 x 10-6, 1 x 10-5 and 1 x 10-4 fatalities per
year for the underground natural gas pipeline from the SSGP pipeline tap in point towards
SAMUR is non-existent.

It is to be noted that the ammonia transfer pipelines and jetties are also part of the SAMUR
facilities whereby the risk due to the operations of the pipeline are inherently present for the
facilities based on its industrial activities. Risk from the operations are within the accepted DOE
risk criteria, whereby the risk levels of 1 x 10-6, 1 x 10-5 and 1 x 10-4 fatalities per year do not
impact any residential areas or neighboring existing or proposed industrial activities.

The above results are in line with the risk acceptance criteria as no industrial facility and
residential areas are exposed to a risk level greater than 1 x 10-6, 1 x 10-5 and 1 x 10-4 fatalities
per year due to operation of the proposed SAMUR facilities.

Some of STEL and IDLH hazard zones for the worst case scenario (WCS) do extend into
residential areas situated 2.6 km away from the proposed SAMUR plant. However, there are no
high-rise developments within the hazard zone. Therefore in the event of such non-credible
events taking place a proper notification for evacuation and offsite contingency plan should be
made available during operation of the proposed plan. This is in anticipation that SAMUR will be
the only facility within the proposed project area.

It is assumed that implementation of an effective Emergency Response Plan (ERP) for the
SAMUR facilities will provide for rapid intervention during a spill incident, thereby militating against
escalation of events.

ES 8 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

An Environmental Management Plan (EMP) and a monitoring program will be prepared to guide
the Project Proponent/Contractors in managing the environmental impacts during the Project
implementation. This is to ensure that all the EIA Approval Conditions are complied with and all
the mitigation measures recommended are systematically implemented whilst observing all the
related Regulations in environmental management.


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

May 2011 ES-38
ES9 EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN

A general emergency response plan (ERP) for the proposed SAMUR Plant is established to
provide a basic guideline on handling any emergency incidents or accidents that may occur
during the construction and operational of the SAMUR Plant.

ES10 CONCLUSION

Base on the baseline survey and EIA Study, there is no major environmental concern with
regards to the location of the SAMUR Plant and the proposed pipeline for the Project. Minor
impacts to the environment is expected, however this impact is temporary in nature and can be
reasonably minimized with appropriate mitigation measures as proposed in this EIA Report. This
project will bring additional economic gain to Sabah State and the country. Furthermore, it will
contribute to the socio economic growth to the people of Sabah in particular and Malaysia in
general. This EIA shows that, with the incorporation of appropriate design, operation and
mitigation measures the proposed SAMUR Plant project by PCG can be implemented in an
environmentally sound manner. The numerous positive contributions of the proposed project
development to the nation outweigh its minimal environmental impacts. At the same time, its
business objectives can be achieved for the benefit of PCG and the nation as a whole.
