The size of land to be reclaimed was reduced to minimise impact on the environment.
JTC Corporation and the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority said about 34ha of land will be reclaimed on the western side of the Causeway linking Malaysia and Singapore, and 10ha on the eastern side.
The size of the area has been reduced to 44ha – the size of more than 60 football fields – to minimise the environmental impact of reclamation work, said the agencies in response to queries. This will also maximise the distance between the Mandai Mangrove and Mudflat nature park and reclaimed land on the western side.
The initial area studied had a 75m distance between the reclaimed portion and the jetty, while the final profile is about 620m away from the jetty. But the EIA found a high density of macrobenthic organisms – those that live at the bottom of a water body – in sediment samples from the mudflat near the western reclamation site.
Fifty-five species of birds identified are listed on at least one red list of threatened species. Of these, five are critically endangered locally, including the great-billed heron and black-tailed godwit. The agency is also trialling the use of artificial intelligence to monitor birds in Mandai to complement manual bird counting surveys.
