4 5.1.1 Northern Shoreline (Sungai Kuantan River Mouth - Tanjung Pelindung Tengah) The northern shoreline starts from Sungai Kuantan river mouth until Tanjung Pelindung Tengah (Figure 5.2). In between those two features, there are another two headlands namely Tanjung Tembeling and Tanjung Api. Teluk Cempedak, a famous tourist hotspot lies south of Tanjung Pelindung Tengah (Photo 5.1). Padang Lalang is an industrial area, located at the north side of Sungai Kuantan. Many factories and workshops are found along Jalan Padang Lalang. A boarding school, Asrama Sri Semai Bakti, is situated right beneath the crossing of Jalan Tanjung Lumpur Bridge (Photo 5.2). The Marine Police Headquarters (Region 3) jetty is also located along the river bank of Sungai Kuantan near Padang Lalang (Photo 5.3). Near the Marine Police jetty, a fish processing factory is operating (Photo 5.4). Sg. Galing Tg. Pelindung Tengah Teluk Cempedak Padang Lalang Tg. Api Tg.

6 Photo 5.4 Workers Sorting Out Fish at the Fish Processing Factory Tanjung Api is located next to Padang Lalang and faces seaward. It is dotted with harbours, jetties and riverine settlements. The eastern estuary is particularly populated by riverine houses with only a few taller modern structures on dry land. The area s low-lying nature suggests that it is prone to periodical flooding. However, no active protection is apparently needed given the nature of it being a kampung air (floating village). There is a wet fish market near the river bank where the local Tanjung Api fishermen sell their catch (Photo 5.5) Sungai Galing flows underneath the wet market and drains directly into Sungai Kuantan (Photo 5.6) Sungai Galing is located 50 metres from the Sungai Kuantan river mouth. It is 7.2 km long and its water quality is categorised as Class IV according to the National Water Quality Standards Malaysia, indicating that it is polluted (1S1RC, 2008). Solid wastes were observed floating at the discharge outlet of Sungai Galing. A recreational park named Esplanade Tanjung Api is located further out into the sea at the Sungai Kuantan river mouth. Its coastline is protected by rock revetment (Photo 5.7) and sandbags (Photo 5.8). However, some parts of the beach were seen to have eroded; evident from the receding rocks and degrading trees found (Photo 5.9). 5-5

Tanjung Lumpur is a traditional fishing village located at the mouth of Sungai Kuantan. The coastline here is fairly flat with a slope of one degree and with very little vegetation. Since the village is very close to the active spit shoreline, the area is susceptible to erosion as shown in Photo The northern part of Tanjung Lumpur is retreating at an average of one metre per year and a relocation of houses was undertaken in the 1990s. There are still several houses on the shorefront that are exposed to erosion due to coastal flooding during surge events. Presently however, apart from these severe storm surge events, the coastal road is not under threat due to the extremely flat coastal profile. There is a fishermen jetty located at the north of the Project site near the river mouth (Photo 5.11). The jetty includes a slipway to fix and build boats (Photo 5.12). Besides the main concrete jetty, many small wooden jetties can be found further upstream along Sungai Kuantan (Photo 5.13). Mangroves are found fringing along Sungai Kuantan (Photo 5.14). These mangroves are an important resource with respect to the local fishing industry. They also play an important role as spawning and feeding areas for many marine and intertidal species. However, the mangroves were seen to have been disturbed at some areas (Photo 5.15). Some spots at the midstream of the Sungai Kuantan river bank had eroded away despite the attempts of putting rocks and concrete walls as prevention measures (Photo 5.16). At the central part of Tanjung Lumpur, housing development with the associated services is already dense within the area. Any future development should include the improvement and upgrading of the facilities available to the local population. Along the south, the coastal road is further inland and the beach appears to be stable. Beach nourishment was previously done at Tanjung Lumpur in attempts to control the erosion process at the area (SMP Pahang, 2001). 5-8

A wide mudflat is exposed in varying degrees during low-water periods (Photo 5.18). Photo 5.17 Mangroves along the Shoreline of Tanjung Lumpur Photo 5.18 Exposed Mudflat at Tanjung Lumpur during Low Tide Kampung Tanjung Lumpur is located in front of the Project site. Facilities in Kampung Tanjung Lumpur such as a school (Photo 5.19), mosque (Photo 5.20) community hall (Photo 5.21), kindergarten (Photo 5.22) and an Islamic school (Photo 5.23) are present. 5-12

There is also a plot of cleared land that was turned into a football field (Photo 5.25). The main ingress to Kampung Tanjung Lumpur is a single carriageway with two lanes (Photo 5.26). Located at a geographically strategic location, Tanjung Lumpur is very well-known and popular for its seafood. There are many seafood restaurants operated by locals in Kampung Tanjung Lumpur (Photo 5.27) which are mainly located along the coastal roadside. Wastewater outlets from these restaurants are improperly installed and the discharge is allowed to simply seep into the ground (Photo 5.28). The main drain in Kampung Tanjung Lumpur is observed to be polluted (Photo 5.29). There is also a small surau located beside the seafood restaurants (Photo 5.30). The presence of the surau and mosque in Kampung Tanjung Lumpur indicates that the villagers are mostly Muslims. 5-14

Kampung Anak Air is located about 4.5 km south of Tanjung Lumpur. The foreshore features an extensive coastline of sandy beaches (Photo 5.34). A medium-class resort hotel is located near the coastline i.e. Suntiana Resort. According to the Shoreline Management Plan (SMP), Suntiana Resort's external boundary was facing direct exposure to wave action (Photo 5.35). Moving inwards to the mainland, construction works for a modern residential development is being developed within the neighbourhood of Kampung Anak Air (Photo 5.36) The main drain of Kampung Anak Air is shown in Plate The main ingress to Kampung Anak Air is a single carriageway with two lanes (Photo 5.38). 5-18

It involves land reclamation for mixed development bordering the shoreline of Tanjung Lumpur which is nearby Sungai Kuantan s river mouth. The Sungai Kuantan river mouth is known for sedimentation issues that create obstacles for navigational access to and from Sungai Kuantan. In order to overcome this, the Project Proponent has taken the initiative to dredge the river mouth and its navigation channel. Subsequently, suitable dredged material will be used as a filling material for this Project. The details are further explained in Section 5.5 of this chapter. 5.3 Project Components The project is mainly to create new land for a mixed development that comprises ha abutting the Tanjung Lumpur coastline. In order to obtain the fill material, dredging activities will be carried out in the vicinity of Sungai Kuantan s river mouth, navigation channel and seafront area within the newly created land. The Project will be implemented in phases comprising the following components: i) Land clearing; ii) Reclamation; and iii) Dredging. 5-22

24 5.3.1 Land Clearing About ha of the total project area are overlapped on the existing shoreline which comprise two plots, i.e. Plot A (2.78 ha) and Plot B (9.93 ha). The detailed boundary areas are shown in Figures 5.5 and 5.6. The land clearing areas for both plots overlaid on a satellite image are as presented in Figure 5.7.

26 5.3.2 Reclamation The proposed reclamation area will be reclaimed with a designated level of +5.0 m CD and a slope gradient of 1:3 to ensure its stability. A total of 10 million m 3 of sand is required for the reclamation. The coordinates of the newly created land are shown in Figure Dredging Dredging activity will take place at the Sungai Kuantan river mouth, navigation channel and seafront area within the newly created land. The dredging works will be carried out by deploying Cutter Suction Dredger (CSD) and Trailer Suction Hopper Dredger (TSHD). The dredging works will be conducted in accordance with the phases (continuing from KWRC Phase 1), as the following: i) Phase 2a Dredging will be conducted to create a 12 m CD deep navigation channel starting from about 100 m downstream of Tanjung Lumpur bridge extending 12 km seaward (southeast); and ii) Phase 2b Dredging will be conducted for the following: a. Lagoon (dredged to 3 m CD); b. Canal (- 4 m CD); c. Inner marina (- 4 m CD); d. Outer marina (- 6 m CD); e. Cruise terminal (- 6 to - 9 m CD); and f. Turning basin (-12 m CD).

34 EIA (Second Schedule) Land Reclamation & Dredging of Kuantan Waterfront Resort City (KWRC), Pahang Pre-construction Survey Prior to any reclamation and dredging works, several surveys will be carried out i.e. pre-hydrographic and topographic surveys. The pre-hydrographic survey will be conducted to determine the existing depths of the seabed and to establish the exact quantity required for the land reclamation activities. Subsequently, the topographic survey will be carried out to determine the existing land configuration of the coastline and identify land features such as river and drainage outlets, any protruding structures etc. Magnetic survey and side-scan sonar shall also be used to establish the existence and location of any ground cables, pipelines and etc. Hoarding installation along the on-land project boundary will be done at this stage Land Clearing Coastal vegetation fringing the sandy coastline are herbs, shrubs and disturbed patches of scrub forest. Land machineries such as excavators, bulldozers and lorries will be deployed to clear off these vegetation. The land-clearing activities are to follow best management practice to minimise impacts towards the environment, mainly on water quality. The vegetation wastes will be collected and disposed of at an approved landfill or disposal site by the contractor Reclamation and Dredging Approximately 10 million m 3 of fill material is needed for the reclamation purposes based on the total area calculated as listed in Table 5.3. Suitable material (sand) from the dredging works will be used as fill material. This method will enable dredged materials from the project area to be beneficially re-used rather than disposing it offshore. Generally, reclamation and dredging works will be performed over several processes as described in the following sections. Table 5.3 Estimated Volume of Reclamation Material Project Phase Area (ha) Volume of Reclamation Material (m 3 ) Phase 2a ,559, Phase 2b ,119, Total ,678, Installation of Boundary Marker Buoy The reclamation and dredging activities will be executed via sea route and involve large vessels plying around the Project site. Thus, certain areas need to be restricted from being entered for safety purposes during the working period. The designated working areas will be marked with lighting or bright-coloured buoys. The location between these buoys will be installed at a suitable distance of visibility from one marker to the next. Early notice will be given to the Marine Department before any works are executed. 5-33

35 Transportation of Rock/Granite Construction materials, particularly rocks, will be transported from the quarry to the Project site via sea route by flat-top barges. Later, they will be towed by using tug boats or by a material/dump vessel. Approximately 3,000 to 5,000 tonnes of rocks will be transported each day. The locations of alternative quarry sites are as shown in Figure Quarry Distance from Project Location (n.m) Hanson 13.1 Hap Seng 13.2 JKR 13.5 Kemaman 35.9 Figure 5.13 Alternatives Sources for Rocks 5-34

36 EIA (Second Schedule) Land Reclamation & Dredging of Kuantan Waterfront Resort City (KWRC), Pahang Construction of Perimeter Bunds Prior to any placement of fill material, a temporary rock bund will be constructed at the perimeter of the reclamation boundary area. The bunds are constructed to ensure minimum dispersion of fine materials within the coastal waters and to protect the reclamation area from eroding due to waves and tides. The rocks will be placed by a combination of crane barges (Photo 5.41). It is also possible to use trucks to place the material and to form the rock bund (Photo 5.42). The construction of perimeter rock bund will be executed starting from the mainland towards the sea. The construction sequence of the perimeter rock bund will be further elaborated in Section 5. Placement of fill material. Photo 5.41 Placement Rocks by Crane Barges Photo 5.42 Trucks Displacing Rock Materials to Form Perimeter Bund At the final stage of the reclamation work, the temporary rock bund will become part of the permanent coastal protection structure which will be further described in Section The construction of perimeter bund will be carried out in two stages: 5-35

37 i) Placement of Geotextile a. A 10 kg to 100 kg rock bedding of about 0.5 m in height will be placed to provide a levelled base; b. Geotextile with high-strength capacity (TS80 or equivalent) is positioned to withstand possible puncturing of the primary and secondary rocks. Location of the geotextile is between the sand replacement layer and the toe base layer; c. A roller, work boat, steel frame and divers will be used during the placement stage; d. The geotextile will be sewn and prepared initially at a laydown area. It will be sewn together to the required length and will be rolled to a roller connected to tyre at both ends; e. The roller with the geotextile will then be rolled from the top of the breakwater crest to the bottom of the seabed; f. A steel frame will be used when necessary and a work boat will be deployed to assist in the laying of geotextile and pulling the roller; g. Rocks will be dumped at the top of the end layer of the geotextile as a first anchor, assisted by a diver; and h. The roller will be retrieved by a crane from the work boat. ii) Placement of Rocks a. Generally, a crane barge with capacity of 50 to 100 tonnes with mooring anchor will be deployed during the placement of rocks. The crane barge operation will be assisted by tug boat; b. The crane barge will pick up the rocks and place them onto the slope starting from the bottom to the top, which creates the toe of the structure; c. The toe shall act as an anchor to secure the position and placement of the rocks on the slope; and d. The remaining top of the slope will be constructed using excavators Dredging and Transportation of Fill Material Dredging will be conducted to deepen the navigation channel (up to 12 m CD) starting from 100 m off Tanjung Lumpur bridge to 12 km seawards (southeast). The dredging will also be conducted at the seafront area within the newly-created land with a varying depth of -3 m to -12 m CD. A summary of the proposed dredging works is tabulated in Table 5.4. The estimated volume to be dredged is tabulated in Table

Average existing depth for navigation channel is based on Bathymetric Chart No.: Estimated volume to be dredged is calculated based on area method. 8,440,739 49,104, Two trailer suction hopper dredgers (TSHDs) are to be used for the dredging and reclamation works. A cutter suction dredger (CSD) will be used for the dredging works at shallow areas. The CSD and TSHD have a capacity of 1,500 m 3 and 10,000 m 3 respectively. Details of the vessels are described as follows: i) Trailer Suction Hopper Dredger (TSHD) A TSHD has large, powerful pumps and engines that are able to suck up sand and coarse silt from the seabed (Photo 5.43). A drag head is attached to the end of the pipe and then lowered to just above the bed. Having arrived at the dredging area, the speed of the vessel is reduced to about 2 to 3 knots (1 to 1.5 m/s). Then the suction tubes are lowered until the seabed whereby the dredge pumps will start to operate. Upon the suction tubes touching the seabed, the swell compensator will start to react. The electronic charts and screens on the vessels will show the location and total volume that has been dredged. 5-37

39 Photo 5.43 Trailer Suction Hopper Dredger (TSHD) Source: During dredging, a mixture of soil and water is dumped into the hopper. Most of the soil will settle in the hopper while the fine particles and water will be discharged from the hopper via the overflow. A TSHD generally stores the dredged material in its own hopper and discharges the left-over water overboard. A TSHD can be unloaded either by opening the bottom doors or by pumping the load via pumpashore equipment to the designated reclamation area. The operation of dredging, sailing, discharging and sailing back to the dredging area is known as a dredging cycle. The time taken to complete this cycle will determine the daily or weekly production of the TSHD. The effectiveness of a TSHD operation depends on several factors such as soil characteristics (in-situ density, particle distribution and SPT/CPV values), dredging depth, seabed profile, design profile, weather, sailing distance, traffic, tides, current etc. ii) Cutter Suction Dredger (CSD) A CSD is a stationary or self-propelled vessel that uses a rotating cutter head to loosen the material in the bed. The loosened material (cut soil) is then sucked in by dredge pumps (Photo 5.44). Cutter suction dredgers are mostly stationary suction dredgers that cut the soil according to a pre-set profile. In other words, the vessel does not sail during dredging activities. The material is then pumped ashore using pumps and a floating pipeline or loaded into a barge moored alongside, which in turn will then offload the dredge sediment at the set location. Larger cutter suction dredgers are self-propelled which means that they can sail autonomously. 5-38

40 EIA (Second Schedule) Land Reclamation & Dredging of Kuantan Waterfront Resort City (KWRC), Pahang Photo 5.44 Cutter Suction Dredger (CSD) Source: There will be two natures of dredging which are dredging-filling and dredging-disposal. Dredging-filling activities involves using suitable dredged materials for reclamation while dredging-disposal involves disposing unsuitable dredged materials to a designated area. It is estimated that the time required for dredging-filling and dredging-disposal are 6 and 22 months respectively. The details on the dredging operation time for both respective activities are shown Tables 5.6 and 5.7.

Given the large reclamation area, it is considered that, practically, the land reclamation will need to be carried out progressively in a series of approximately 50-acre reclamation areas. The workflow of the processes is as follows: i) A rock bund will be constructed along the footprint of the permanent rock revetment. Both ends of the rock bund will be extended up to 150 m beyond the 50-acre reclamation area; ii) Before placement of the fill material, a stretch of temporary sand bund will be constructed first to close the 50-acre reclamation area in conjunction with the installation of drainage pipe outlet (to discharge the excessive slurry). Subsequently, a silt curtain will be deployed enclosing the drainage outlet; and iii) Then, the fill material will be offloaded into the reclamation area enclosed by the bunds. This sequence will be repeated until the final reclamation landform is completed. The schematic reclamation sequences are further illustrated in Figure Further details of the silt curtain installation will be further explained in the following subsection. 5-40

43 Silt Curtain Installation Silt curtain will be installed at the drainage pipe outlet and forming a C shaped to contain turbid water dispersing out from the working area. The process of silt curtain installation will begin with the preparation of the mooring system and concrete sinker. Workers will join lines, ropes, shackles, floater and moorings on land first followed by the joining of ground chain, main anchor line and mooring bridle. The hoisting work of concrete block sinker will be conducted using mobile crane onto the shore or by anchor boat. After the installation of concrete sinker is completed, a work boat will be used to join the silt curtain panels. Silt curtain inspection and maintenance works shall be conducted as follows: i) Inspection during installation and decommission by divers should be carried out to ensure correct installation and operation of the silt curtain according to the detailed design; ii) Visual inspection, water quality monitoring and diver survey should be done periodically; iii) An Environmental Officer (EO) will be assigned to check the condition of the silt curtains each time before commencement of works; and iv) Any floating construction or natural debris shall be immediately removed to prevent damage to the silt curtains. Overall sequence of the installation processes is shown in Figure 5.15 while Figure 5.16 depicts the cross section for silt curtain. Concrete sinker 1 End of silt curtain should be firmly secured with concrete sinker 2 Work boat will pull the other end of silt curtain to the exact position 3 Release and position the concrete sinker on both sides of silt curtain Figure 5.15 Installation Sequence of a Silt Curtain 5-42

This method is used to accelerate the consolidation of soft soil. The PVD is installed at regular spacing (1.3 m centre to centre) into soft soil to create shorter drainage path, enabling the excess water to flow horizontally through the longitudinal grooves on both sides of the core. The design shall employ the conventional theory relating to the settlement at any time to the rate of consolidation and variation of load (i.e. length of construction and surcharge period). The PVD installed shall be of cuspate type with geo-membrane filter. The total length of PVD is to include installation of vertical drain in a triangular pattern. To expedite the expulsion of water in the clay, sufficiently effective surcharge is to be placed. The total surcharge height shall also include the anticipated primary settlement. Removal of the surcharge is also dependent on the degree of consolidation. Close observational method will be employed and the decision for removal will be made once the 90% degree of primary consolidation is achieved. 5-43

45 Construction of Coastal Protection Structures The construction of coastal protection structures will be commenced once the sand reclamation has been filled up to the designated platform level. The formation of the constructed perimeter rock bund (as described in Section ) will be trimmed to provide the final slope profile of the revetments. Sequence for transformation from perimeter bund to final slope profile of the coastal protection structures is illustrated in Figure The overall proposed coastal protection structures for this Project is shown in Figure 5.18 and the cross section is depicted in Figures 5.19 to Table 5.9 lists the type of proposed coastal protection. The selection of proposed coastal protection structure is based on several major considerations as follows: i) Structural stability; ii) Life-cycle cost; iii) Foundation or soil conditions; iv) Exposure to wave action; v) Availability of construction material; and vi) Functional performance.

54 5.5.4 Disposal of Dredged Material Unsuitable dredged materials which are not used for the reclamation purposes will be disposed of at a designated disposal area (1, ha). The disposal area is located 16.0 nm (29.63 km) away from the Project site (Figure 5.24). Generally, disposal of the dredged materials will be done using self-propelled split hopper barges (Figure 5.25). It is anticipated that four (4) barges will be used to transport and dispose the dredged material at the disposal area. The proposed location has taken into consideration of DOE guidelines in determining the disposal site which also includes the method of disposing the dredged materials (Table 5.10). Nevertheless, this location will need to be approved by the Marine Department of Malaysia prior to any disposal activity being done. Table 5.10 DOE Guidelines for Disposal of Dredged Materials Guidelines Compliance/Remarks The depth shall be more than 20 m deep Yes On the disposal site The location must be reasonably distant from sensitive areas Yes The location must not be within fishing grounds, coral reef and artificial reef Yes While disposing the dredged materials at the designated site, the vessel must be in continuous motion at the speed of 1 to 2 knots Noted and will be carried out On the method of disposing the dredged materials The materials being disposed should spread out within the reasonable distance of the designated area Noted and will be carried out No point disposal is allowed Noted and will be carried out Dispersion modelling should be carried out to indicate the vertical and horizontal movements of the materials being disposed This is subject to a separate Environmental Assessment (EA) Study 5-53

Further details are discussed in Chapter 8, Section Drainage System The purpose of the main drainage system is to ensure that the existing drainage system and within the development will function properly and flows into the South China Sea. The final discharge will flow into the sea through a gross pollutant trap (GPT). The minimum depth of the main drain will be 600 mm and the drain will be cascaded if the gradient is greater than 2% (if any). All installed sumps will be covered with mild steel grating. All kerb openings and scupper pipes will be provided at 4.5 m interval. The proposed drainage system is shown in Figure

Legend: Proposed 100 & 66 road reserve Existing road Laut China Selatan Proposed main drain (flow of drain) Proposed GPT [Final drain discharges to sea through gross pollutant trap (GPT)] Sewerage System The sewerage system is very important as it serves to transport wastes or sewage away from the population. Therefore, the system must function well because an improper functioning system will lead to pollution and contamination of various aspects of the surroundings, which will then affect human life and health. The efficiency of the sewerage system is affected by the flow of the wastewater. In designing a sewerage system, the type and size of the pipe to be used must be able to accommodate the peak flow. The peak flow is based on the population equivalent (P.E.) which is a direct measurement of the population in an area. The estimated P.E. for the KWRC development is listed in Table Table 5.12 Estimated Population Equivalent (P.E) Zone Zone Area (ha) STP Plant size (ha) Total P.E. Required Total P.E.

62 In designing a sewerage pipe network, the pump stations and sewage treatment plants are required to carry and pump volumetric flow rate. Five (5) pump stations will be allocated on the reclaimed land with two (2) STPs to fulfil the demand. The effluents discharged shall comply to Standard A discharge requirements. The locations of the proposed STPs are shown in Figure Scale 1:7500 Figure 5.29 Locations of the Proposed Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs) and Pump Stations Source: Jurujati Konsultant Sdn. Bhd Water Supply A well-designed water distribution system is required to distribute water from source to the users. The system has to be designed to consistently supply a sufficient quantity of fresh water to users at an acceptable pressure. Thus, for this development, two (2) elevated water tanks (EWT) have been proposed to be built on the reclaimed land according to the designated zone i.e. commercial and residential. The design is based on Uniform Technical Guidelines for Water Reticulation and Plumbing by the National Water Services Commission (SPAN). The Project Proponent has complied with the following technical information which was received from Pengurusan Air Pahang Berhad (PAIP) via a letter dated 5 th March 2015 (Ref. No.: Bil (5)PAIO.K.PP.1305/2541): 5-61
