1.0 INTRODUCTION
Chuping Valley Development Plan
1.0 INTRODUCTION
         Situated to the north east of Kangar (administrative capital of Perlis),
         Lembah Chuping provides 2481.91 acres of land for future
         investments. The state government has allocated a total of 500 acres
         for the establishment of the Perlis Inland Port (PIP) with a vision to
         transform Perlis into an international border town with sophisticated
         port facilities.
         Figure 1.1 illustrates the location of Lembah Chuping.
         As a region known as the hottest site in Malaysia that receives a
         significant amount of sunlight all year long, the state government has
         further allocated 200 acres for the establishment of a solar farm to
         leverage of natural resources for energy production.
             Note: Graphics used are for illustration purposes only and are not illustrations of exact
                       scale
                              Figure 1.1: Location of Lembah Chuping
         The surrounding industries of Lembah Chuping house a diverse range
         of commerce activities. Padang Besar is a town situated towards the
         north of Lembah Chuping and bordering the south of Thailand plays
         hosts to a variety of trading activities that attracts shoppers from both
         Thailand and Malaysia. It also plays host to University Malaysia Perlis
         (UniMAP) with potential to provide human capital to planned
         industries.
         Apart from land access, accessibility to Padang Besar is further
         achieved through the Padang Besar Railway Station.
                                                                                                                 June 2015
                                                                                                                   Page 1-1
Chuping Valley Development Plan
1.1 Objectives of the Study
The objectives of the study include the following:
    To identify and propose development theme/identity for Lembah
    Chuping subject to existing constraints and the vision of Perlis to
    become a Development State by 2015 and achieve the status of
    High Income State by 2030.
    To formulate the Concept Plan and Implementation Plan to
    develop Lembah Chuping.
    To propose the best approach to develop Lembah Chuping to
    become high income generating area, encouraging hi-tech
    industry employing skilled and semi-skilled workers, competitive
    and create social inclusiveness.
    To identify required eco-system to support proposed economic
    cluster. This will include indentifying support facilities,
    infrastructure, road system, human capital, investment,
    management structure, and private participation to drive the
    growth.
    To propose special incentive package (tax and non-tax) to attract
    investors to this area.
1.2 Key Findings in Achieving the Objectives / Summary of Key
         Findings
         The key findings in achieving the objectives of the study as follows:
              It is proposed that the development of Lembah Chuping be
              centred on Green technology and Green manufacturing
              processes. Manufacturing is considered environmentally-friendly
              (or Green) when one (or more) of the stages of the value chain are
              compliant with all the outlined characteristics. Emphasis will be put
              on the use of ‘Raw Materials’ and the undertaking of
              ‘Manufacturing’ processes in accordance with the defined criteria.
              The concept of Lembah Chuping was incepted with an objective to
              compliment surrounding developments and maximizing the
              potential of Lembah Chuping derived from planned developments
              and opportunities gathered from surrounding developments.
                Lembah Chuping will be implemented in two phases. Phase 1 will be
                implemented in the Eleventh Malaysia Plan (RMK11) (2016 – 2020) and
                Phase 2 will be implemented in the Twelfth Malaysia Plan (RMK12)
                (2021 – 2025). It is anticipated that the preliminary works to be carried
              out in 2015 prior to phase 1 development. Major infrastructure and
              utilities for the implementation of Lembah Chuping include Road
              network, Drainage, Water supply, Sewerage, Electricity,
              Telecommunication and Natural Gas supply.
              In view of the plan to develop Lembah Chuping in line with its
              environmentally-friendly concept, and with government and state
              initiatives (as highlighted in the 10th Malaysia Plan and the
              Rancangan Struktur Negeri Perlis 2030); industries were assessed
                             June 2015
                               Page 1-2
Chuping Valley Development Plan
              using the six (6) factors (under the Porter Diamond model)1 to
              determine the viability of proposed industries should they be
              located in Lembah Chuping. The best approach to develop
              Lembah Chuping to become high income generating area,
              encouraging hi-tech industry employing skilled and semi-skilled
              workers, competitive and create social inclusiveness.
              A sustainable model in which the proposed industries in Lembah
              Chuping, relevant supporting functions, surrounding industrial
              estates, and Institutions of Higher Learning (IHLs) will co-exist as
              part of a mutually beneficial network is developed. The ecosystem
              proposed seeks to facilitate the socio-economic advancement of
              Perlis through higher value added activities and the creation of job
              opportunities of various skill levels. This will include indentifying
              support facilities, infrastructure, road system, human capital,
              investment, management structure, and private participation to
              drive the growth.
              The proposed incentives for Lembah Chuping primarily aim to
              retain and enhance (where appropriate) the existing incentives in
              Malaysia as well as to seek for Lembah Chuping to be accorded
              with the similar preferential incentives currently granted to other
              Malaysian industrial estates. An attractive incentives package
              catered to the requirements of industries in Lembah Chuping is
              highly likely to distinguish Lembah Chuping from other industrial
              areas and be seen as appealing for investors to
              establish/expand/re-locate their operations in this park. It could
              contribute in creating more job opportunities for the rakyat of Perlis
              and increasing the park’s Gross Domestic Product contribution.
1 The Porter Diamond Model considers the relationship between different clusters in an industry’s
   ecosystem, where competitiveness is related to the performance of all firms in addition to micro and
   macroeconomic factors. This model is frequently used to evaluate the competitive advantage of nations.
   In the context of this study, it will serve as a framework in assessing the factors that can influence an
   industry’s success in a particular location, analysed through six (6) factors: Government, Factor
   Conditions, Demand Conditions, Market Structure and Rivalry, Supporting Industries, and Chance.
                                                                                                                 June 2015
                                                                                                                   Page 1-3

         The Granite rock body (Triassic) is generally located at the northern
         tip of Perlis (Bukit China) while the Machinchang and Setul formations
         can be found towards the western part of the State. The Kubang Pasu
         formation forms a syncline in the middle of Perlis with widely exposed
         outcrops (Jones, 1981). The Chuping Limestone forms two north-
         south oriented ridges and the rocks are slightly folded. The
         stratigraphic contacts among those formations are generally
         conformable.
         There are two distinct geological formations identified within the
         Lembah Chuping namely, the Chuping Limestone and the Kubang
         Pasu formation. A brief description of each geological formation is
         presented in subsection below.
         a) Chuping Limestone Formation
              The Chuping Limestone formation comprises massive dolomitic
              limestone and limestone (generally at the lower depths) with
              significant amount of sandstone and shale (within the mid-depth),
              and crystalline limestone (at higher levels). The geological age of
              Chuping Limestone is designated as Permian-Triassic and
              generally shows karst topography with solution phenomena such
              as caves, caverns, swallow-hollows, underground river courses,
              dry valleys, and undercut cliffs. Dripstone such as stalactites,
              stalagmites, columns, and pillars can be found all over the rock
              unit.
         b) Kubang Pasu Formation
              Kubang Pasu formation is a sequence of thick to very thick-
              bedded sandstone, mudstone, shale and a variety of poorly sorted
              areno-argillaceous deposits, varying from muddy siltstone through
              greywacke to feldspathic sandstone. The arenaceous rock
              comprises predominantly grey to white sandstone, greywacke, and
              conglomerate. Mudstone and shale are the most common
              argillaceous rock with lesser siltstone. The rocks are essentially
              dark grey and red in colour. Thickness of the individual bed of
              arenaceous and argillaceous rocks may range from about 10 cm
              to more than 1m. The siliceous rocks consist of thin-bedded chert
              and siliceous shale. It contains rounded texture made up of
              microcrystalline quartz and chalcedony that may represent traces
              of replaced radiolarians.
                                                                                                                 June 2015

2.4 Drainage and Hydraulic
         Lembah Chuping is located along the main trunk road Jalan Padang
         Besar - Chuping (FR79). There are existing trapezoidal earth drains at
         the both sides of this road. Generally, it can be observed throughout
         the site reconnaissance that these earth drains are shallow and
         vegetated.
         Figure 2.5 shows the site photos of the earth drains.

The whole proposed Lembah Chuping idle with wild vegetation. The
existing ground profile of this Lembah Chuping areas is generally flat
with a small portion of the areas are hilly.
Figure 2.6 shows the existing ground of Lembah Chuping.

Apart from that, according to Jabatan Pengairan dan Saliran Negeri
Perlis, there are few man-made ponds inside Lembah Chuping area
and these ponds have potential to be converted to detention ponds for
the future development.
Figure 2.7 shows the existing pond of the Lembah Chuping.
          Figure 2.7: Existing Pond inside the Lembah Chuping
A few natural streams within the project area have been identified.
There are Sg. Jarum and Sg. Jerneh. Sungai Jarum is located at the
north bound of the Lembah Chuping and it flows to Timah Tasoh Dam
and Sungai Jerneh is located at the south bound of Lembah Chuping.
Sungai Jerneh is a confluence of Sungai Chuping and it flows to the
Sungai Perlis river mouth. As Lembah Chuping used to be a
plantation area before, it is noted that there are a lot of irrigation
channels within Lembah Chuping which are flowing to the natural
stream. Some of these channels may require to be maintained as part
of the future drainage system. Figure 2.8 show the location of Sungai
Jarum and Figure 2.9 shows the location of Sungai Jerneh.

2.5 Environmental Assessment
         2.5.1 Approach Taken
                   The purpose of an environmental assessment is to analyze the
                   existing environmental conditions of the Project site and to
                   present preliminary findings on the surrounding area. This
                   section describes the findings obtained through research, a
                   site visit and meetings with relevant authorities. It also lists out
                   the current physical features of Lembah Chuping and sensitive
                   areas that are located adjacent to the Project site.
                   Environmental management on key and sensitive areas has
                   been elaborated and this is followed by suggestions on how to
                   further enhance Lembah Chuping as a green valley.
         2.5.2 Findings on Existing Environment and Project
                   Assessment
                   As per Rancangan Struktur Negeri Perlis, the entire northern
                   area of the State which includes the Lembah Chuping Project
                   site is a water catchment area for the Timah Tasoh Dam as
                   shown in Figure 2.10 below. The water catchment area is
                   classified as an Environmentally Sensitive Area (ESA) of Rank
                   2.
               Figure 2.10: Water Catchment area for the Timah Tasoh Dam
                                                                                                                 June 2015
                                                                                                                   Page 2-7
Chuping Valley Development Plan
The definition of Environmentally Sensitive Areas as stated in the
Rancangan Tempatan Majlis Perbandaran Kangar 2009-2020 is as
Table 2.1 below.
ESA Rank  Table 2.1: Definition of ESA Ranks
                                    Definition
1 No development, agriculture or logging shall be permitted
           except for low-impact nature tourism, research and
           education.
2 No development or agriculture. Sustainable logging and
           low impact nature tourism may be permitted subject to
           local constraints.
3 Controlled development whereby the type and intensity of
           the development shall be strictly controlled depending on
           the nature of the constraints.
As mentioned in the “Taklimat Pembangunan Negeri Perlis” by
Jabatan Perancangan Bandar dan Desa (JPBD) Perlis, water
catchment areas are classified as one of the sensitive areas to be
developed but are allowed under controlled conditions.
i) Terrain
The terrain of the project area is generally undulating as depicted in
Figure 2.11 below with moderate variations in ground levels. Terrain
slopes are generally minor except in isolated areas. The portion of the
Project site that is lower in elevation is located at the northern sector
which is adjacent to the land designated for the Perlis Inland Port
(PIP). The southern sector is slightly higher in elevation.
                              Figure 2.11: Terrain of Project site
ii) Land Use
Previously, Lembah Chuping consisted primarily of sugar cane and
rubber plantations. Currently, the land has been cleared and parts of
the Project site have been rented out to farmers for short-term
plantation of cash crops. The Lembah Chuping area is currently
managed by the State Government.
                                                                                                    June 2015

iii) Flood Prone Area
Lembah Chuping is virtually free from flooding except for a portion of
the area marked as Point “A” as depicted in Figure 2.12 below. The
area at Point A occasionally experiences flooding as mentioned by the
Plantation Manager.
                                                                                          A
                                                                                          B
                                                                                          C
                         Figure 2.12: Flood Prone Area
iv) Weather
Perlis experiences a typical equatorial bimodal Monsoon Climate. The
relatively dry season in Perlis is usually during the month of December
to March. The monthly variations in rainfall recorded for the year 2011
is depicted in Figure 2.13. The wet season for the year 2011 occurred
from the end of February right up to April.

Chuping Valley Development Plan
v) Hydrogeology
Based on the National Physical Plan 2 (NPP2) and interviews
conducted with the Plantation Manager, there is substantial amount of
groundwater present within Lembah Chuping. Previously, groundwater
was the main source of water used for irrigating the sugar cane and
rubber plantations. Groundwater was extracted via tube wells (Figure
2.15) that are located at ‘Point C’ as shown in Figure 2.14. The depth
of the tube wells are around 600 ft.
                                                                                 A
                                                                                 B
                                                                                 C
          Figure 2.14: Location of tube wells at Point C
                                Figure 2.15: Tube Wells
However, data on the current quantity of groundwater, groundwater
recharge and abstraction rates are not available and will not be
addressed in this assessment. Risk of contamination to soil and
groundwater due to leakage, spillage or seepage of effluents
discharged from industries or from chemicals stored on-site will be
high. In order to keep track and monitor the groundwater quality in
Lembah Chuping, a groundwater monitoring programme shall be
established and implemented. Some of the existing tube wells that are
currently present in Lembah Chuping can be retained and used as
future groundwater monitoring points. A list of activities that have the
potential to cause soil and groundwater contamination as per the
Contaminated Land Management and Control Guidelines 1 is
attached under Attachment D.
                                                                                                    June 2015
                                                                                                     Page 2-10
Chuping Valley Development Plan
vi) Hutan Simpanan Kekal Rimba Mas-Mas
The Hutan Simpanan Kekal (HSK) Rimba Mas-Mas occupying an
area of 52.38 ha as seen in Figure 2.16 below is located about 440m
to the north-east of the Project site and lies outside the project
boundary.
                Figure 2.16: Hutan Simpanan Kekal Rimba Mas-Mas
                   HSK Rimba Mas-Mas is classified as an ESA Rank 1
                   as shown in Figure 2.16 above. The buffer zone
                   distance that is required from the Project site to the
                   HSK Rimba Mas-Mas is 500m as per the National
                   Physical Plan 2. Although no significant impacts
                   towards HSK Rimba Mas-Mas will take place during the
                   construction and operation of this project, special
                   arrangements on obtaining approval and clearance
                   from relevant authorities on this matter has to be
                   obtained.
vii) Timah Tasoh Dam
The Timah Tasoh Dam which is an ESA Rank 1 is located less than
5km away from the development site as shown in Figure 2.17 below.
It is used as the main water source for drinking water and irrigation;
and also acts as a flood control system.
                  - This space intentionally left blank -
                                                                                                    June 2015
                                                                                                     Page 2-11

viii) Kawasan Tanaman Padi MADA
         Kawasan Tanaman Padi MADA which is an ESA Rank 1 area is a
         major food source to the State and Nation and is located around 16km
         away from Lembah Chuping as shown in Figure 2.18 below and is
         connected to the Project site via Sg. Jerneh.
         ix) Surface Water
         There are two river systems which are present in Lembah Chuping;
         i.e. Sg. Jarum & Sg. Jerneh. The direction of flow for both rivers are
         westwardly, with the river flow originating to the east of the
         development area (upstream) as shown in Figure 2.18 below.
         Lembah Chuping will drain all water generated on site into Sg. Jerneh
         via the site’s drainage system.
         Sg. Jerneh flows southwards from Lembah Chuping, connects with
         other river tributaries which converge and flows into Sg. Perlis and
         part of Sg. Perlis crosses into the Kawasan Tanaman Padi MADA
         area.
         Although the Kawasan Tanaman Padi MADA is located 16km away
         from Lembah Chuping, consideration still has to be taken as to the
         Project’s potential impact on this area since the Kawasan Tanaman
         Padi MADA is an ESA Rank 1.
                            - This space intentionally left blank -
                                                                                                                 June 2015
                                                                                                                 Page 2-12

By reason of this, any premise that generates industrial effluent in
Lembah Chuping has to abide by the Environmental Quality (Industrial
Effluent) Regulations 2009. Industrial effluent that is generated has to
be treated at an on-site industrial effluent treatment system in the
respective premises in accordance to Standard A of the Fifth
Schedule (Attachment A) prior to being discharged into the Project
site’s drainage system. Sewage generated in the Lembah Chuping
area will also have to be treated to meet the discharge limits of
Standard A of the Second Schedule (Attachment B).
Each waste generator has to regularly monitor their treated effluent at
the final discharge point to ensure it meets the discharge standards
and to avoid contamination of the surface water downstream.
2.5.3 Management of Lembah Chuping as a Green Valley
         There are a couple of recommendations that can be
         incorporated into the design, construction and operation of the
         facilities in the Project site to further enhance Lembah Chuping
         as a Green Valley. One way will be to obtain the Green
         Building Index (GBI) certification. GBI provides the opportunity
         for building owners to design and construct sustainable
         buildings that are energy, water and material efficient to reduce
         the buildings footprint on the environment.
         a) Water Conservation
                   This can be done by recycling the treated effluent and
                   using it for landscape purposes and for toilet flushing.
                   The treated effluent can even be re-used in the
                   manufacturing process so long as the treated effluent
                                                                                                    June 2015
                                                                                                     Page 2-13
Chuping Valley Development Plan
                   quality meets the processes operating standard and
                   requirements. This practice will reduce the demand of
                   water supplied daily. Increasing the awareness of all
                   employees and staff through educational talks and
                   exhibition is also a means of bringing their attention to
                   the benefits of water conservation.
         b) Rainwater Harvesting
                   Individual premises in Lembah Chuping can implement
                   a rainwater harvesting system as this greatly reduces
                   the demand of water supplied. Collected rainwater can
                   either be stored above or below ground and used for
                   irrigation, facility cleaning, toilet flushing and firefighting
                   purposes. Another benefit of rainwater harvesting is
                   that it reduces erosion caused by stormwater that falls
                   from roofs and gutters.
         c) Installation of additional solar cells on building
                   rooftops
                   Seeing as Perlis is one of the states in Malaysia that
                   receives the highest intensity of sunlight, owners and
                   occupiers of premises should take advantage of this
                   and install solar cells on the rooftops of their structures.
                   Solar cells once installed require very little maintenance
                   and emit no pollution in the process. The Malaysian
                   government is considering implementing the Net-
                   Metering system in the near future. Once administered,
                   this system could be applied to the facilities in the
                   Project site. This system allows the option of the facility
                   to generate their own electricity and sell the excess
                   amount generated to the grid.
         d) Natural Lighting
                   Another advantage that can be taken from the
                   presence of intense sunlight is natural lighting. Owners
                   of premise can incorporate designs for large windows
                   or sunroofs that allow natural lighting for the facility.
                   Although only available during the day, this approach
                   reduces the amount of artificial lighting used and is also
                   very much energy efficient.
2.5.4 Subsequent Steps to be Taken
         An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) as per the
         Environmental Quality (Prescribed Activities) (Environmental
         Impact Assessment) Order 1987 shall be carried out for the
         entire Lembah Chuping site regardless of the type of industries
         planned since there are a number of Environmentally Sensitive
         Areas of Rank 1 adjacent to Lembah Chuping, the area of the
         site exceeds 50 ha, and most importantly because Lembah
                                                                                                    June 2015
                                                                                                     Page 2-14
Chuping Valley Development Plan
                   Chuping is part of the Water Catchment Area for the Timah
                   Tasoh Dam.
                   Once the land uses have been specified, individual industries
                   and activities that will be established within Lembah Chuping
                   will have to carry out EIA studies as per the Environmental
                   Quality (Prescribed Activities) (Environmental Impact
                   Assessment) Order 1987.
                   Following that, an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for
                   the entire Lembah Chuping area and each occupied premise
                   shall be carried out, implemented, revised and updated when
                   required in accordance with their respective EIA Reports and
                   the EIA Approval Conditions.
2.6 Infrastructure and utilities
         2.6.1 Road / Rail Transportation Network
                   Perlis is served with a good road network ie. Federal Rads,
                   State Roads and highway. Changlun - Kuala Perlis Highway
                   (Federal Route 194) links the towns of Perlis with the North-
                   South Highway and Federal Route 7 link Padang Besar and
                   Kangar to Alor Setar.
                   The existing road connecting Lembah Chuping to surrounding
                   areas is Federal Route 79 (FR 79), which link Padang Besar to
                   Ulu Pauh. JKR has proposed U5 standard 40 km road
                   connecting Padang Besar to Bukit Kayu Hitam (refer Figure
                   2.19) in which the indicative alignment shows that it traverses
                   through Lembah Chuping area.
                   Another transportation asset for Perlis is the KTMB electrified
                   double tracking railway connecting Perlis to Penang Port and
                   major cities such as Ipoh, Kuala Lumpur and Johor Bahru.
                   Railway lines also enable Perlis to be connected to major cities
                   in Thailand, Indo China and China. Lembah Chuping located
                   just a kilometer away from the railway track.
                   Presently, Sultan Abdul Halim Airport in Alor Setar is the
                   nearest airport to Perlis. While the nearest airport with cargo
                   facilities is Penang International Airport, in Penang Island.
                   At present, existing FR 79 (Padang Besar – Ulu Pauh) is the
                   only road that is accessible to the development area. However,
                   the planning of new road by JKR to link Lembah Chuping to
                   Bukit Kayu Hitam will be another new access to the
                   development.
                   Figure 2.20 illustrates the accessibility analysis to the site.
                                                                                                                 June 2015
                                                                                                                 Page 2-15

Chuping Valley Development Plan
2.6.2 Water Supply System
         Based on site reconnaissance and discussion with JKR
         Bahagian Bekalan Air Kangar, there is no existing main water
         supply at Lembah Chuping. The nearest reservoir to supply
         water to the Lembah Chuping site is at Empangan Timah
         Tasoh.
         The total water demand shall depend on type of the area to be
         developed. Based on the proposed Masterplan Layout, the
         total estimated water demand is approximately 11.6 million
         gallons per day (or 52,734 m3/day).
         According to JKR, the current capacity of Empangan Timah
         Tasoh is not sufficient for the additional water demand of the
         proposed Lembah Chuping area. Therefore, the existing
         treatment plant and reservoir are required to be upgraded, and
         a new main trunk is required to be laid from the treatment plant
         / reservoir to the Lembah Chuping with an estimated length is
         about 15 kilometres.
         The total estimated water demand for this development is 11.6
         million gallons per day. The water supply is proposed to be
         sourced from Empangan Timah Tasoh as this treatment plant
         is the nearest to Lembah Chuping area. However, as
         mentioned above, this treatment plant is required to be
         upgraded in capacity.
2.6.3 Sewerage System
         Based on site reconnaissance and discussion with IWK
         (Planning Division), Penang, there is no existing sewer lines
         and sewage treatment plant (STP) in Lembah Chuping. A new
         trunk sewers, intermediate pump stations and new STP are
         required to be provided for this development.
         The existing sludge treatment facility is located at Wang
         Bintong which is 47.6km from Lembah Chuping. Due to this,
         space has to be allowed within the premises of the STP to
         accommodate the sludge treatment, sludge handling and
         storage facilities.
2.6.4 Solid Waste Management
         Jabatan Pengurusan Sisa Pepejal Negara (JPSPN) defines
         solid waste as any scrap material or unwanted surplus
         substances or rejected products arising from the application of
         any process or any substance required to be disposed of as
         being broken, worn out, contaminated or spoilt.
         a) Current Management of Solid Waste in Perlis
                   The Local Authority in the state of Perlis has appointed
                   the concessionaire E-Idaman Sdn. Bhd with the
                   responsibility of carrying out solid waste management
                   and public cleansing services. Among the services
                   provided by E-Idaman are illustrated in Figure 2.21
                   below.
                                                                                                    June 2015
                                                                                                     Page 2-17

b) Legislative Framework
         The Solid Waste and Public Cleansing Management
         Act 2007 (Act 672) define Controlled Solid Waste as
         shown in Table 2.2 below.
Table 2.2: Types of Controlled Solid Waste
      Categories of        Definition

Chuping Valley Development Plan
c) Solid Waste Management Policy for Lembah
         Chuping
         Pursuant to the development of Lembah Chuping as a
         Green Valley which houses Green Industries as well as
         Green Knowledge Centers, it is important for all
         industries and land uses in the development site to
         practice the 4R Policy. The 4R policy, which essentially
         is Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Recover, plays a major
         part in the overall management of solid waste as shown
         in Figure 2.22 below.
           Source: JPSPN)
                   Figure 2.22: Hierarchy of Waste Options
         As stipulated by JPSPN, “Reduce” is the reduction of
         waste generated at the source or at the waste
         generators premise and as shown in the figure above it
         is the most desirable form of waste management.
         Another term that can be used is Source Reduction.
         The occupier of the premise can implement a number
         of waste reduction strategies such as reducing the
         amount of raw materials used in the process, altering
         the packaging of a product to eliminate unnecessary
         materials being used or if possible to modify the
         manufacturing process in order to reduce the quantity
         of by-products produced and also to reduce quantity of
         raw materials consumed.
         “Reuse” means finding an alternative use for materials
         that have been generated as a by-product or any
         leftover material or substances from the manufacturing
         process. “Recycling” on the other hand is manually
         separating the waste generated into streams like paper,
         plastics, glass, metals and food waste to be reused.
         The concept of waste separation and recycling at the
         source has to be implemented and conveyed to all
         levels of management and employees in order to yield
         positive feedback. Separation of the waste at the
         source is important in order to be able to “recover” high
         quality of materials that can be reused. If waste is not
         separated at the source, it makes it difficult to extract
                                                                                        June 2015
                                                                                         Page 2-19
Chuping Valley Development Plan
         waste that can be reused and recovered at transfer
         stations since waste streams have been mixed
         therefore reducing the quality of the waste. The
         operator of each facility has to ensure that adequate
         training and knowledge on the 4R Policy is conveyed to
         all employees and make certain that it is being put into
         practice. This will lead to higher recycling efficiencies
         being achieved and lower quantities of waste being
         generated thus reducing the total amount of waste that
         will be sent to the landfill.
         Through these strategies and approaches, the targets
         for recycling of waste and waste reduction to landfills
         that have been set by the Government can be
         comfortably met. The target to be met by E-Idaman is
         to increase their recycling rate from 4% to 22% by the
         year 2020 and the Federal Government to meet 40%
         waste reduction to landfills by 2020. Figure 2.23 below
         illustrates the overall flow of waste that will be
         generated at the Project site right up to its final
         disposal.
        Figure 2.23: Overall flow of waste generated in Project site
d) Types of Solid Waste Generated and Waste
         Generation Rate in Lembah Chuping
         The two types of solid waste that will be generated in
         the Project site are Controlled Solid Waste and
         Scheduled Wastes.
                                                                                        June 2015

Chuping Valley Development Plan
   i) Controlled Solid Waste
             In reference to the Solid Waste and Public Cleansing
             Management Act 2007 and taking into account the
             types of solid wastes that will be generated in Lembah
             Chuping, Controlled Solid Waste will be taken to
             constitute solid waste falling within any of the following
             categories:
             • Commercial solid waste
             • Construction solid waste
             • Household solid waste
             • Institutional solid waste
             • Public solid waste
             • Non-hazardous waste
             • Bulky and non-bulky waste
             During the construction and operation of the Project
             site, substantial amount of controlled solid waste as
             stated above will be generated. The Park owner or
             occupiers of premise shall make arrangements with E-
             Idaman to set up the solid waste collection services
             which will cover collection of Controlled Solid Waste
             right up to its final disposal.
             Controlled solid waste will be collected separately from
             each waste generator’s premise by E-Idaman and will
             then be sent to the Rimba Mas Sanitary Landfill for final
             disposal.

         and is schedule to be completed by July 2015. This
         sanitary landfill is situated on Lot 5149 at Rimba Mas,
         Mukim Titi Tinggi and will receive waste generated in
         Perlis with an estimated value of 150 tonnes/day. This
         sanitary landfill will be operated as a semi-aerobic
         sanitary landfill and is located 1km away on the
         southwest side of the Lembah Chuping.
ii) Scheduled Wastes
         Scheduled Waste is classified as waste that falls within
         the categories of waste listed in the First Schedule of
         the Environmental Quality (Scheduled Wastes)
         Regulations 2005 (Attachment C). The categories of
         scheduled waste are shown in Table 2.3 below.
Table 2.3: Categories of Scheduled Wastes as stated in the
                                     First Schedule
    Category of  Description
Scheduled Waste
SW 1             Metal and metal-bearing wastes
SW 2             Wastes containing principally
                 inorganic constituents which may
                 contain metals and organic materials
SW 3             Wastes containing principally organic
                 constituents which may contain
                 metals and inorganic materials
SW 4             Wastes which may contain either
                 inorganic or organic constituents
SW 5             Other Wastes
During the manufacturing process in industries,
scheduled wastes can be used as raw materials,
cleaning reagents or can be produced as a by-product
of a process. It is emphasized in the act that the
treatment, recovery and disposal of scheduled wastes
can only be carried out at prescribed premises only.
Kualiti Alam Sdn. Bhd. is the appointed company that
provides off-site treatment and disposal of scheduled
waste.
Scheduled waste generated will be stored in containers
that are durable and compatible with the waste in order
to prevent leakage or spillage of waste to the
environment. Areas that are designated for the storage
of scheduled waste prior to collection shall be
designed, constructed and maintained in accordance
with guidelines prescribed by the Director General to
avoid the escape of wastes into the environment.
It is the responsibility of the waste generator to ensure
that all scheduled wastes generated are labeled
                                                                            June 2015
                                                                             Page 2-22

               according to their respective categories as stated in the
               Environmental Quality (Scheduled Wastes) Regulations
               2005. Kualiti Alam will oversee all matters relating to
               the collection of scheduled waste generated on site to
               transportation of waste to its waste management centre
               that is located at Bukit Nanas in Negeri Sembilan.
               Scheduled waste will then be disposed off at a secured
               landfill under the management of Kualiti Alam.
iii) Solid Waste Generation Rate in Lembah Chuping
               The estimation of solid waste generation rate based on
               land use in Lembah Chuping is as shown in Table 2.4
               below.
               Table 2.4: Estimation of Solid Waste Generation Rate
Land Use       Generation Rate                  Source
Industries +         1234.91      CalRecycle, 2006 Waste Disposal
SME                kg/acre/day    and Diversion Findings for
               (0.305 kg/m2/day)  Selected Industry Groups
Institution +  242.81 kg/acre/day CalRecycle, 2006 Waste Disposal
Commercial      (0.06 kg/m2/day) and Diversion Findings for
                                            Selected Industry Groups
As for Table 2.5 below, the waste generation rate is calculated
based on the land area of the facility type and taking into
account 30% of the land area as the built-up area.
Table 2.5: Amount generated per day based on land area
Land Use                      Industries + SME  Institution +
                                                Commercial
Area (acre)                       1740                  390
Generation Rate for built-up      644,623       28,409
area (kg/day)
The waste generation rate based on the Population Equivalent
(PE) is presented in Table 2.6 below. The waste generation
rate per person in the State of Perlis as per JPSPN is taken as
1.0kg/person/day [Source: National Strategic Plan for Solid
Waste Management, JPSPN] .Mainly food waste will be
generated by employees in Lembah Chuping and based on
this assumption, we have deduced the waste generation rate
to be 0.4 kg/person/day.

2.6.5 Electricity
         Based on the site reconnaissance and the meeting with
         Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) Kangar, Perlis, the following
         are some of our observations of the existing electrical system
         at the Lembah Chuping vicinity:-
         a) There is an existing 275/132kV Transmission Main Intake
              Substation (PMU) Chuping with capacity of 60 MVA near
              the army camp which is approximately 15 kms away from
              the development area.
         b) There is an existing 132/33kV Transmission Main Intake
              Substation (PMU) Bukit Keteri South with capacity of 90
              MVA which is approximately 20 kms away from the
              development area. This PMU was commissioned by TNB
              for power supply to KTMB double track project.
         c) There is an existing 132/11kV Transmission Main Intake
              Substation (PMU) Bukit Keteri for the cement factory.
         d) There is an existing 33kV overhead cable which is located
              within the site boundary from PMU Bukit Keteri and PMU
              Padang Besar. Based on discussion with TNB, the existing
              33kV overhead cable will need to be relocated after the
              commissioning of the new 132/33kV PMU.
         e) There are two (2) nos. existing 11kV overhead cables
              along the main road to Padang Besar. There are also two
              (2) nos. existing 11kV substations which are located near
              the main road to Padang Besar and near the existing lake
              within the development area, respectively. These
              substations are interconnected to each other by 11kV
              underground cables.
              Figure 2.25 indicate the existing PMU in the Lembah
              Chuping area.
