CASE SUMMARY REPORT ON ENVIRONMENT

DRAFT

This report is a work in progress, the purpose of which is to encourage an iterative process of feedback and update. The materials are prepared by consultants; hence, ADB does not guarantee the accuracy, reliability, or timeliness of these materials and therefore will not be liable in any capacity for any damages or losses that may result from the use of these materials. ADB, likewise, shall not be responsible for any errors, inadvertent omissions, or unauthorized alterations that may occur in the disclosure of content on this website.

Under its Safeguard Policy Statement (2009), ADB may approve a borrower’s request to use Country Safeguard Systems (CSS) in ADB-financed projects if (i) the CSS are equivalent to the objectives, scope, triggers, and principles of the Safeguard Policy Statement; and (ii) the borrower has the necessary capacity and experience to implement its own CSS. CSS can be applied at the national, subnational, sector, or agency level. The use of CSS does not relieve ADB of its due diligence and loan supervision responsibilities; it does not alter the role of ADB’s Accountability Mechanism. ADB must review safeguard plans and supervise their implementation for all projects implemented under CSS. The key difference between the use of CSS and ADB’s standard approach is that CSS and any agreed actions to fill any gaps between the CSS and ADB’s SPS will be the benchmark and the primary focus of ADB’s due diligence and supervision instead of the SPS requirements. In order for the ADB to determine if the borrower has the necessary capacity and experience to implement its own CSS, the SPS requires ADB to conduct an “acceptability assessment”. The assessment is designed to determine whether the concerned agency has acceptable implementation practice, track record, and capacity and commitment to implement the applicable laws, regulations, rules and procedures. As part of this assessment, Indonesia’s State Electricity Company/Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) selected 18 representative cases each for environment and involuntary resettlement. This document provides a summary of these cases, covering the following key areas: (i) institutional capacity (institutional structure, human and financial resources, technical resources); (ii) implementation practice and delivery mechanism (process and procedures for implementing safeguards; and (iii) performance (output and outcome) which includes quality of planning documents (AMDAL, EMP, etc.). The case summary was one of the inputs to the comprehensive assessment carried out by ADB as part of the acceptability assessment, which also included: (i) desk review of PLN corporate documentation, (ii) interviews with PLN officials at headquarters and regional offices, (iii) interviews and consultations with other local agencies, project-affected people, interest groups and development partners, and (iv) site visits to selected projects. The detailed assessments and findings can be obtained below:

Findings on Compliance and Quality of Data and Analysis

A Institutional Capacity

1 Institutional Structure PLN (Persero) UIP Jawa Bagian Tengah II (UIP JBT II), based in Yogyakarta, is the project proponent. The environmental engineers involved in each stage of development are embedded in the Planning Unit, Construction/Operation Unit, and Project Implementation Unit.

2 Budget At the UIP level, PLN allocates funds for management and monitoring activities. The UIP prepares an annual detailed plan and budget, covering AMDAL and UKL-UPL preparation, approval of the Environmental Permit, and implementation of mitigation measures and monitoring requirements. Monitoring is conducted by UPK, which is a sub unit of UIP. Annual budget allocations depend on the volume and number of proposed activities.

The physical and financial progress of UIP activities are regularly monitored and reported.

3 Human Resources In the PLN organization structure, UIP environmental specialists supervise UPP environmental specialists. In case of the UIP JBT II, two environmental specialists supervise a total of four environmental specialists (one specialist in each of four UPP).

The UIP environmental specialists have academic backgrounds in civil engineering, chemical engineering, or chemistry. UIP and UPP staff receive environmental assessment training in courses covering AMDAL A (basic level training on AMDAL), AMDAL B (preparation of AMDAL documents), AMDAL C (advanced level training for AMDAL review), and preparation of UKL-UPL.

Within PLN, the actual preparation of AMDAL and UKL-UPL documents is commonly carried out by consultants under the supervision of the UIP and UPP environmental specialists. The UIP and UPP Environmental Planning Units have overall responsibility

for administering spatial planning recommendations, reviewing consultant outputs, and securing the required environmental permit.

B Process and Procedures

1 Coherence Based on desk study, field visits, and interviews with UIP JBT II staff, it was concluded that preparation of the project UKL-UPL was generally in accordance with prescribed processes and procedures. Eligibility of the project and its compliance with the prevailing spatial planning was assessed from the initial stage of the project by securing the required recommendation from the responsible government agency. It is noted that the project UKL-UPL is also consistent with Regulation No. 03/2014 on Guidance for Preparation of Environmental Document issued by the Majalengka Regency. This guideline further elaborates the requirements and criteria for environmental assessment to satisfy local requirements and conditions.

2 Transparency The requirement to conduct public consultations is not explicitly stated in the MOE Regulation No. 16/2012 and consequently may not be done for UKL-UPL projects. Consultation was however carried out as part of the land acquisition process. Additionally consultations occurred during preparation of the UKL-UPL, encompassing a social survey, interviews with affected people and local communities. The consultations only included two female landowners.

3 Consistency Based on desk study, interviews with UIP JBT II staff, and discussion with the local environmental agency (BPLH) of Majalengka Regency, it was concluded that preparation of the UKL-UPL for this project was consistent with the prescribed processes and procedures.

4 Effectiveness Preparation of the UKL-UPL for this project is considered effective, as evidenced by timely delivery of the assessment and the relatively short period between UKL-UPL approval, environmental permit issuance, and commencement of construction.

C Output and Outcome

1 Screening and Categorization

MOE Regulation No. 5/2012 on Type of Business and/or Activity Requiring Environmental Impact Assessment provides that only a UKL-UPL is required since the project size is not greater than 150 kV.

2 Scoping Not applicable to UKL-UPL projects.

3 Project Description The UKL-UPL describes the project’s physical-chemical, biological, social-economic/culture, and public health components, covering:

A. Pre-construction phase - Permitting - Survey (determination of location/configuration of network,

recording of soil data, and plants affected by the alignment) - Land acquisition for tower bases and substation - Land compensation required for the transmission line right of

way B. Construction phase

- Recruitment of workers (priority to be given to local workers for unskilled/laborer and middle skilled positons)

- Mobilization and demobilization of equipment and materials

(vehicles used should be in good condition and suitable for prevailing requirements and local conditions)

- Land clearing (cutting of vegetation/trees at tower bases and trimming of vegetation which enters free space along the proposed transmission line right of way

- Foundation work for switchyard - Construction work for control building - Construction for facility and infrastructure - Tower construction - Erection of towers - Stringing of cables - Commissioning

C. Operation phase - Electricity distribution - Maintenance (preventive, corrective, emergency, base

condition) - Patrolling (to avoid disturbance and maintain public security) - Inspection (checking of transmission corridor, tower, isolator,

and cables)

4 Policy, Legal, and Administrative Framework

Relevant national laws and regulations (including sector regulations) as well as local regulations applicable to the project are listed. In addition, specific PLN regulations/guidance for power/transmission development are also referred to.

5 Environmental Baseline The UKL-UPL provides baseline information on:

A. Physical-chemical components - Climate - Air quality - Noise - Water quality - Electromagnetic - Road condition and traffic

B. Biological components - Flora - Fauna

C. Socio-economic, cultural, and public health components - Demographics - Education - Economic (infrastructure and facilities) - Religion - Health infrastructure and facilities

6 Analysis of Alternatives Analysis of project alternatives was described in Project Feasibility Assessment (Ref. 18.03.02/2016.08/02), which considered two alternatives: the no project alternative involving expansion of the medium voltage network through sourcing from the existing substation or other substations, and development of a new substation with similar capacity. The second alternative was selected as the most feasible option.

7 Impact and Risk Assessment

The UKL-UPL describes potential environmental and social impacts, taking into consideration:

- Impact sources - Impact type - Magnitude of impacts

Particular attention is given in the UKL-UPL to the electrical safety of

the transmission line and its potential human and public health impacts, responding to concerns expressed by people living along the transmission line and close to the substation.

8 Environmental Management and Monitoring Plan (EMP)

The UKL-UPL details:

- Mitigation measures, locations, and schedule - Monitoring methods, locations, and schedule - Institutional arrangement of agencies/parties involved in

implementing, supervising, and reporting

The requirement to specify budget allocations for environmental management and monitoring in a UKL-UPL is not explicitly stated in the MOE Regulation No. 16/2012 and consequently is generally not included. The common understanding is that such costs are part of the project proponent’s or contractor’s budget.

Specified mitigation and monitoring measures focus on avoiding or reducing potential environmental and social impacts during the pre-construction, construction, and post construction phases, including:

− Dissatisfaction among affected parties with land prices and right of way compensation

− Employement and business opportunities for local communities

− Degraded air quality and increased dust and noise

− Damage to local roads due to mobilization of heavy equipment and material

− Traffic disturbance and accidents

− Loss of flora and fauna due to land conversion

− Degraded groundwater and surface water quality

− Waste generation

− Electromagnetic field and corona effect

9 Information Disclosure Information disclosure to the public was conducted as part of the land acquisition process. PLN’s land acquisition team disseminated information on the project goals, objectives, and benefits during a public meeting and additionally made the information available online.

10 Consultation and Participation

Consultation with affected parties was undertaken during the information disclosure meeting, where PLN discussed the project and requested permission from the neighborhood/households located in close proximity to the transmission line and substation.

During preparation of the UKL-UPL, particularly during collection of primary and secondary data, additional consultations were undertaken with people affected by the project (owners of land needed for tower bases, owners of trees/plants and buildings affected by project), informal leader (community and religious leaders), and formal leader (head of village).

11 Grievance Redress Mechanism Development

A grievance mechanism is provided for in MOE Decree No. 09/2010 on Community Grievances and Handling of Grievances caused by environmental pollution and/or degradation. At the project level, complaints arising during the construction phase are handled by the UIP’s Public Relation/Communication department which verifies and forwards the complaint to the responsible unit with authority to respond. During the operational phase complaints are handled by the Transmission Unit. In addition, the government Environmental Agency will also be informed of any complaints related to PLN

projects for subsequent follow up with the project proponents.

12 EMP Implementation Review of an implementation report for the period January to June 2017 indicated that required mitigation measures are being undertaken. The report covered: source of impact, type of impact, performance indicator, mitigation measures, location of mitigation, mitigation period, supervisory implementation, and recipient of report.

13 Monitoring and Reporting

Similarly, monitoring is described in detail, covering: type of monitoring, monitoring locations, monitoring methods, monitoring period, and monitoring results.

Monitoring results were compared to both baseline data, and trend analysis was undertaken to evaluate acceptability of current status for noise, air quality, water quality, waste generation, work related accident, fire, and occupational health. Additionally, analytical results were compared with applicable environmental quality standards. No negative trends or exceedances were identified.

Sample analysis was undertaken by an Indonesian National Accreditation Committee accredited laboratory and analytical reports were included in the UKL-UPL implementation report.

1 Institutional Structure The UIP JBTB I, based in Surabaya, is the project proponent. The organization structure of this PLN unit refers to the regulations of PLN’s Directors No. 0015.P/DIR/2016, No. 0225.P/DIR/2016, and Decree No. 0490/SDM.01.03/DIVORG/2016 on the UIP Organization and Implementing Units.

The UIP comprises several units, among which environmental safeguards responsibilities are as follows:

- Planning unit is responsible for preparing, implementing, and evaluating environmental assessments and environmental management related to project facilities and land issues

- Construction/operation unit is responsible for preparing, implementing, and evaluating safety, occupational health, security, and environment program

- Project implemention unit is responsible for preparing, managing, and evaluating safety, occupational health, security, and environment program; and preparing, managing, and evaluating corporate social responsibility activities as agreed on with the UIP office

2 Budget At the UIP level, PLN allocates funds for management and monitoring activities. The UIP prepares an annual detailed plan and budget, covering AMDAL and UKL-UPL preparation, approval of the Environmental Permit, and implementation of mitigation measures and monitoring requirements. Monitoring is conducted by UPK, which is a sub-unit of UIP. Annual budget allocations depend on the volume and number of proposed activities.


3 Human Resources In the PLN organizational structure, one UIP environmental specialist supervises two UPP environmental specialists. UIP and UPP staff receive environmental assessment training in courses covering AMDAL A (basic level training on AMDAL), AMDAL B (preparation of AMDAL documents), AMDAL C (review of AMDAL documents), and preparation of UKL-UPL.

Within PLN, the actual preparation of AMDAL and UKL-UPL documents is commonly carried out by consultants under the supervision of the UIP and UPP environmental specialists. The UIP and UPP Environmental Planning Units have overall responsibility for administering spatial planning recommendations, reviewing consultant outputs, and securing the required environmental permit.


1 Coherence Based on desk study, field visits, and interviews with UIP JBTB I staff, it was concluded that preparation of the project UKL-UPL was in accordance with prescribed processes and procedures.

2 Transparency The requirement to conduct public consultations is not explicitly stated in MOE Regulation No. 16/2012 and consequently may not done for UKL-UPL projects. Public consultations were however carried out during which information was disclosed on both general and technical aspects of the project, and project objectives and benefits. No record on women participation in the consultations.

3 Consistency Based on an interview with UIP JBTB I personnel it was concluded that preparation of the UKL-UPL for this project was consistent with prescribed processes and procedures, including ensuring adherence with the local spatial plan.

4 Effectiveness Preparation of the UKL-UPL for this project is considered effective, as evidenced by timely delivery of the assessment and the relatively short period between UKL-UPL approval and commencement of construction.



MOE Regulation No. 5/2012 on Type of Business and/or Activity Requiring Environmental Impact Assessment provides that only an UKL-UPL is required since the project size is not greater than 150 kV.

A recommendation letter No. 050/5613/Bappeda/2015 from the Badan Perencanaan Pembangunan Daerah/Badan Koordinasi Penataan Ruang Daerah (Local Planning/Spatial Plan Agency) of Tabanan Regency confirms that the area required for the project aligns with the local spatial plan.


3 Project Description The project goal and objectives are clearly stated, combined with the details of UKL-UPL preparation, covering:

- Identity of proponent and UKL-UPL compiler - Proposed project (including site plan and location layout) - Project scale - Land, land status, and compliance with spatial plan - Overall project design - Development phases (pre-construction, construction, and

operation)

- Maintenance (preventive and corrective, and emergency)

4 Policy, Legal and Administrative Framework

Relevant national laws and regulations (including sector regulations) as well as local regulation are listed.


A. Physical-chemical components - Climate (type of climate, rainfall, temperature and relative

humidity, duration of solar exposure, wind direction and speed)

- Ambient air quality and noise (air quality, noise intensity) - Physiography - Geology - Soil - Hydrology (surface water and groundwater, utilization of

water resources) - Earthquake prone areas - Spatial plan and land use - Electromagnetic field

B. Biological components - Baseline information is incomplete (required information on

terrestrial and aquatic flora and fauna is not provided) C. Social, economic, and cultural components

- Socio-economic (number and sex-segregated data of population, composition of population based on occupation, migration, economic structure, sectors, and GDP)

- Cultural (community organizations, cultural heritage, and community perceptions and attitude (as collected by questionnaire)

6 Analysis of Alternatives Not applicable, as the project only considers one option.


The UKL-UPL describes potential environmental and social impacts that may occur during the pre-construction, construction, and operation phases, covering:

- Pre-construction (permitting process, field survey, and land acquisition)

- Construction (labor recruitment and mobilization, mobilization of equipment and materials, preparation of land and foundations for towers, tower erection, installation and cable stringing, land clearing and building construction, installation of equipment, and construction of supporting facilities)

- Operation and maintenance

It is evident that some potential impacts are not covered in the UKL-UPL. For example, potential spills of hazardous substances and their disposal from substations is not mentioned despite PLN’s Directive (SK Dir. No. 114 on GIS Operation and Maintenance) requiring its units to manage Sulfur Hexafluoride.


The UKL-UPL provides information on mitigation measures and monitoring for all potential impacts, excluding issues such as hazardous substances that were not identified in the impact assessment. Environmental and social management measures are formulated in terms of mitigation measures, location, and period of environmental management. Similarly, monitoring measures are

formulated in terms of implementation method (i.e., field observation and data analysis), location, and schedule.

Particular emphasis is given to positive and negative impacts relating to:

- Social upset due to dissatisfaction of people regarding land prices and right of way compensation

- Employement and business opportunities for local community

- Degraded air quality and increased dust and noise - Damaged local roads due to mobilization of heavy

equipment and material - Traffic disturbance and accidents - Loss of flora and fauna due to land use conversion,

including impacts to aquatic flora and fauna - Degraded surface water and groundwater quality - Waste generation (including hazardous waste despite this

issue not being covered in the impact assessment) - Electromagnetic field and corona effect

The project proponent’s commitment to implement the UKL-UPL is provided in the form of a Statement Letter, which is stamped and signed by the person in charge.

Institutional arrangements for UKL-UPL implementation are described, covering responsible parties, supervision, and reporting.

There is no indication of cost estimates to implement the UKL-UPL or monitor performance indicators.

9 Information Disclosure Information disclosure to the public was conducted as part of the land acquisition process. The list of disclosure meeting attendants (signed sheets), contents, and conclusion of the dissemination are summarized in the Minutes of Dissemination No. 0001/HKM.04.01/UPKJJB.10/2016.


Consultation with affected parties was undertaken during the information disclosure meeting.


Although there is not an explicit requirement for a grievance mechanism in MOE Regulation No. 16/2012, PLN through its project level office has procedures to receive and follow-up on community complaints.

12 EMP Implementation Project is at construction phase.


Implementation reports for 2017 is available.

B Process andProcedures

1 Coherence Based on desk study, field visits, and interviews with UPK JJB 7 and local environmental agency staff, it was concluded that preparation of the project AMDAL was in accordance with prescribed processes and procedures.

2 Transparency The AMDAL was carried out in a transparent manner through announcement in local newspapers and on radio, and posting in designated public places. Affected persons and key stakeholders and/or their representations were invited to and involved in multiple public consultations. However, consultations did not involve women’s participation.

3 Consistency Based on desk study, field visits, and interviews it was concluded that the AMDAL was consistent with prescribed processes and procedures.

4 Effectiveness Preparation of the AMDAL for this project is considered effective, as evidenced by the timely delivery of the assessment and the relatively short period between AMDAL approval and commencement of construction.



The screening for the environmental permitting of the project was undertaken based on the requirements of the former Environmental Law No. 23/1997 and former Government Regulation No. 27/1999 on AMDAL.

2 Scoping A scoping process was carried out to determine the assessment scope and identify potential environmental and social impacts related to the project. Scoping included a public consultation, involving affected persons and other stakeholders. The scoping process covered all applicable regulatory requirements:

- Description of the study area - Identification of significant impacts and prediction of impact

characteristics and magnitude - Consideration of the project’s environmental and social

feasibility - Explanation of how impacts were to be managed and monitored

through a RKL-RPL - An assessment terms of reference (KA-ANDAL) - Apparent gaps in the AMDAL documents comprising KA-

ANDAL, ANDAL, and RKL-RPL are: the ANDAL methodology does not optimally consider all potential impacts; and the ANDAL does not address the issue of extra and ultra-high voltage risk, an issue of concern expressed during public consultations

3 Project Description The ANDAL project description covers:

A. Pre-construction phase - Information dissemination - Determination of alignment - Land acquisition

B. Construction phase

- Information dissemination - Labor and personnel recruitment - Mobilization of heavy equipment and materials - Land clearing - Installation of tower foundations - Civil work on GITET 500 kV - Erection of towers - Installation of GITET 500 kV - Stringing of conductor cables - Commissioning

C. Operation phase - Information dissemination - Transmission of electric power - Maintenance

D. Post-operation phase: - Information dissemination - Demolition - Reclamation - Asset recovery - Increased capacity

4 Policy, Legal, and Administrative Framework

Relevant national laws and regulations (including sector regulations) as well as local regulations related to the project are listed.

5 Environmental Baseline The ANDAL provides baseline information on:

- Geo-physical chemical components (geology, soil, surface water, groundwater, air, noise)

- Biological components (flora, fauna, ecosystem type, presence of rare and/or endemic species and their habitat)

- Social-economic components (income, occupation, local culture, archeological sites)

- Community and occupational health and safety

6 Analysis of Alternatives Limited consideration of alternatives, although in oder to avoid environmental and social impacts the, the location of two transmission towers was relocated.


The ANDAL provides an adequate assessment of impacts and risks. A flowchart was used to identify the interaction between key project activities and corresponding potential environmental and social impacts, covering:

A. Physical-chemical component

− Noise

− Air quality

− Electric force and magnetic force

− Soil stability

− Land and spatial use

− Run-off flow

− Transportation

− Aesthetics

B. Biological component

− Plant population and distribution

− Bird migration

C. Socio-economic and culture component

− Employment and business opportunities

− Community income

− Land and building prices

− Social process

− Community perceptions

D. Public health component

− Work safety

− Inconvenience

− Disease prevalence

The study area boundary for purposes of assessing impacts and risks was clearly described, supported with maps.


A Statement Letter to Implement the RKL-RPL, signed by the General Manager of PLN (Persero) PIKITRING JBN, is included in the AMDAL as a legally binding document.

The RKL-RPL is well structured, covering:

- Effectiveness of mitigation measures in addressing actual impacts

- Trends in environmental and social impacts - Effectiveness of monitoring program in assessing impact in

comparison with baseline conditions and trends

At the time of review the RKL-RPL had already been implemented during construction and the project has commenced operations.

9 Information Disclosure Information disclosure to the public was undertaken through a project notification made at the offices of Kecamatan Kesugihan, Kecamatan Adipala, and local Environmental Agency of Cilacap and by broadcasting through Radio Bayu Sakti (for one month). Social survey questionnaires were also used to generate baseline data on social, economy, culture, and public health aspects.


Consultation with affected parties was undertaken during the information disclosure process and is consistent with Decree of Bupati Cilacap No. 76/2004 on Involvement of Community and Information Disclosure in the AMDAL Process.

Consultation involved announcements in local newspapers and radio and posting in designated public places. Affected and/or their representatives and key stakeholders were invited to and involved in multiple public consultations. However, the consultation did not specifically involve women’s participation.


A specific grievance mechanism was not developed for the project. However, PLN through its project level office has procedures to receive and follow-up community complaints.

12 EMP Implementation Review of an RKL-RPL implementation report for the period July to December 2012 indicates that the report comprehensively covers:

- Significant impacts - Source of impacts - Performance indicators - Mitigation measures - Location of mitigation measures - Period of mitigation measures

An identified gap in the implementation report was the lack of a matrix summarizing all aspects of the RKP-RPL, making it difficult

to determine whether all mitigation measures were being implemented.

13 Monitoring and Reporting Review of the RKL-RPL implementation report showed that environmental monitoring being undertaken was not described systematically, as required. It is difficult therefore to discern trends of specific impacts such as noise, air quality, water quality, waste generation, work accidents, fire, occupational health, or to compare monitoring results with applicable evironmental quality standards.

Reporting monitoring results are supported by analytical reports from an accredited laboratory.

1 Institutional Structure PLN (Persero) Distribution Bali is responsible for safeguards. PLN Bali (Distribution) is led by one General Manager, six Sector Managers, eighteen Deputy Managers, two Procurement Officers, five Area Managers, and thirteen District Managers. A dedicated safeguards unit (i.e., Supervisor for Safety, Occupational Health and Environment) is under the Distribution Manager and Deputy Manager for Operation Control of Distribution System.

2 Budget PLN Distribution prepares an annual detailed plan and budget, covering AMDAL and UKL-UPL preparation and implementation of mitigation measures and monitoring requirements. Annual budget allocations depend on the volume and the number of proposed activities.

The physical and financial progress of activities are regularly monitored and reported.

3 Human Resources The PLN Wilayah / Distribution Bali has one full time environmental supervisor position.


1 Coherence Based on document review, field visits and interviews with PLN Distribution Bali staff, it was concluded that preparation of the project UKL-UPL was generally in accordance with prescribed processes and procedures.

2 Transparency The requirement to conduct public consultations is not explicitly stated in the MOE Regulation No. 16/2012 and consequently may not be done for UKL-UPL projects. Consultation was however carried out through inviting community leaders (vice of customary village treasurer, Jungut Batu village head, and community leaders), vice of Bupati Klungkung, Camat of Nusa Penida, and the PLN team to an initial information dissemination meeting. An additional information dissemination session was attended bypeople from Krama Subak Segara Wilis, including the Head of Desa Pering,

Customary Village Treasurer, the PLN team, and community members. No women participated in either meeting.

3 Consistency Based on desk study, interviews with PLN Distribution Bali staff, it was concluded that preparation of the project UKL-UPL was consistent with the prescribed processes and procedures, including consistency with the district spatial plan.

4 Effectiveness Preparation of the UKL-UPL for this project is considered effective, as evidenced by timely delivery of the assessment. However, due to technical considerations the project has not yet been implemented.



MOE Regulation No. 5/2012 on Type of Business and/or Activity Requiring Environmental Impact Assessment provides that only a UKL-UPL is required since the project size is not greater than 150 kV.

At the screening phase it was determined the proposed project was not consistent with the spatial plan. Appendix VII of the Bali Spatial Plan No. 16/2009 already included the development of submarine power cable network system from Nusa Lembongan to a substation in Kabupaten Klungkung. However, development of the cable network has not been specifically identified in the Bali Spatial Plan No. 16/2009. Similarly, Perda No. 26/2007 on Kabupaten Gianjar Spatial Plan did not include the SKTM 20 kV transmission line.


3 Project Description The project description explains that the project is intended to supply increasing demand of power in the three Bali islands of Nusa Penida, Lembongan, and Ceningan. The project will cross over Badung Strait from a relay substation at Pering Coast, Kecamatan Blahbatuh, Kabupaten Gianyar to the relay tower at Tanjung Ental, Jungutbatu, Nusa Lembongan, Kecamatan Nusa Penida, Klungkung. The network comprises two cables, each 17.1 kilometers long.

The UKL-UPL describes:

- Land status - Proposed project activities - Permitting (principal permit issued by Bali’s Governor No.

671/2576/Bappeda and permit for two line of sea cables (No. BX.627/KL.303 issued by Directorate General of Sea Transportation)

The UKL-UPL describes potential environmental and social impacts during the project pre-construction, construction, and operation phases. Project impacts are categorized as small to moderate:

- Pre-construction phase (negative community perceptions, permit violations, incorrect cable alignment, failure on land negotiations)

- Construction phase (disturbance to religious ceremonies, social upset, accidents, turbidity of sea water, disturbance to sea transport/traffic, damage to coral reefs, disturbance to fishermen and seagrass farmers, disturbance to marine tourism)

- Operation phase (electromagnetic field and corona effect,

electricity blackouts, and negative community perceptions).


The UKL-UKL details mitigation measures and monitoring corresponding to impacts identified for the pre-construction, construction, and operation phases.

PLN’s commitment to fully implement the UKL-UPL is expressed in a stamped and signed Statement Letter from the General Manager of PLN (Persero) Distribusi Bali.

9 Information Disclosure Information dissemination occurred during a consultation meeting attended by invited community leaders (vice of customary village treasurer, head of Desa Jungut Batu and community leaders), vice of Bupati Klungkung, Camat of Nusa Penida, and the PLN team. An additional public consultation was carried out with people from Krama Subak Segara Wilis, and was attended by the Head of Desa Pering, Customary Village Treasurer, the PLN team, and community members. No women participated in the information dissemination meetings.


A public consultation was carried out to explain the project objectives and technical details, and potential environmental and social impacts of the project. An additional consultation was carried out to address community concerns relating to electromagnecic risk.

1 Institutional Structure PLN (Persero) UIP Sulbagut, based in Manado, is the project proponent.

2 Budget At the UIP level, PLN allocates funds for management and monitoring activities. The Southern Sulawesi UIP prepares a detailed annual plan and budget, covering AMDAL and UKL-UPL preparation, approval of the Environmental Permit, and implementation of mitigation measures and monitoring requirements. Annual budget allocations depend on the volume and number of proposed activities.

The physical progress and financial progress of UIP activities are regularly monitored and reported.

3 Human Resources In the PLN organizational structure, UIP environmental specialists supervise UPP environmental specialists. In the case of Sulbagut UIP, two environmental specialists supervise a total of four environmental specialists (one at each of four UPP). The UIP environmental specialists have academic backgrounds in civil engineering, chemical engineering or chemistry. UIP and UPP staff receive environmental assessment training in courses covering AMDAL A (basic level training on AMDAL), AMDAL B (preparation of AMDAL documents), AMDAL C (advanced level training for AMDAL review), and preparation of UKL-UPL.


1 Coherence Based on desk study, field visits, and interviews with UIP Sulbagut staff, it was concluded that preparation of the project AMDAL was in accordance with prescribed processes and procedures.

2 Transparency Ongoing AMDAL preparation was carried out in a transparent manner through announcement in local newspapers and posting of the project notification in designated public places. Affected persons

and/or their representatives and key stakeholders were invited to and attended multiple public consultations. While women were involved in the consultations only a limited number attended.

3 Consistency The scoping process of the AMDAL is considered consistent with prescribed processes and procedures.

4 Effectiveness The scoping process of the AMDAL study is considered less effective since the KA-ANDAL (terms of reference for the environmental assessment) had not yet been approved at the time of the field visit.



MOE Regulation No. 5/2012 on Type of Business and/or Activity Requiring Environmental Impact Assessment provides that an AMDAL is required since the project size if greater than 100 MW. A single AMDAL approach applies in this instance since there is only one type of activity in the project area.

Decree No. 08/2013 on Procedure for Review and Examination of Environmental Document and Issuance of Environmental Permit, Article 19 stipulates that if the AMDAL Commission in the regency or municipality is not licensed, the authority of AMDAL review must be escalated to the AMDAL Commission at the provincial level. The latter process applies to this project.

Additionally, the project proponent coordinated with local government agencies, particularly to ensure project compliance with the local spatial plan. A recommendation was made by the local government of Minahasa Utara in a letter from the Head of Dinas Penataan Ruang dan Pertamanan of Minahasa Utara Regency No. 025/DPRP/600/700/III/2014 (dated 4 April 2014).

Potential significant impacts were identified through field observation, and consultation with experts, competent agencies and concerned persons. Evaluation criteria are:

- Existing pressure on environmental and social components - Importance of components to the daily livelihood of the

surrounding community and ecological values - People’s concerns about potential environmental and social

impacts - Compliance with existing regulations or restrictions

8 Environmental

Management and

Monitoring Plan (EMP)

The RKL-RPL has not yet been prepared since the assessment is still at the scoping stage, awaiting approval of the terms of reference.

9 Information Disclosure Information disclosure and consultation occurred during the scoping stage of the assessment involving interviews with village heads and the local community from Wineru and Likupang Timur villages within are situated in close proximity to the project area.

10 Consultation and

Participation

Community consultation commenced with a public meeting attended by the Secretary of Camat Likupang Timur and staff, Head of Likupang Kampung Ambong and Wineru Villages, head of neighborhood, village secretary, religious leaders, women leaders, and youth leaders.

1 Coherence Based on desk study, field visits and interviews with PLTU Lontar staff, it was concluded that preparation of the ANDAL and RKL-RPL was in accordance with the prescribed processes and procedures for an AMDAL extension project and adhered to the direction of the Regional Environmental Agency of Banten Province.

2 Transparency According to the government Regulation No. 27/2012 on Environmental Permitting, no public notification or consultation is required for ANDAL addendum projects. However, PLTU Lontar did inform local communities about the extension project during an information dissemination meeting and through informal communication. Community representatives and government stakeholders were additionally involved in the evaluation of the ANDAL and RKL-RPL for the extension project. The Regional Environmental Agency of Banten Province facilitated stakeholder involvement in this evaluation process.

3 Consistency Based on desk study and interviews with PLTU Lontar staff it was concluded that preparation of the ANDAL and RKL-RPL for this extension project was consistent with prescribed processes and procedures are set out in government Regulation No. 27/2012 on Environmental Permitting.

The ANDAL addendum focuses on the assessment of potentially significant environmental and social impacts of the extension project as identified during a scoping process. Based on the outcomes of the impact assessment, the RKL-RPL defines mitigation measures for significant impacts and corresponding monitoring requirements. Moreover, for those impacts that are considered insignificant but which could be of concern if not managed properly, mitigation measures and monitoring are also defined in the RKL-RPL.

4 Effectiveness The ANDAL addendum process undertaken for the extension project is considered effective with regards to focusing the assessment on potentially significant environmental and social impacts identified in the terms of reference. Furthermore, the engagement of community and government stakeholders through the ANDAL addendum process was useful to define effective mitigation measures and monitoring requirements to be included into the RKL-RPL.

Nevertheless, it should be noted that the ANDAL and RKL-RPL for the extension project were developed in 2015 when most of the land acquisition, land clearing and construction of the transmission tower had already been completed.

No. 27/2012 on Environmental Permitting and following direction from the Regional Environmental Agency of Banten Province.

2 Scoping The scoping process, including conduct of a baseline survey, was completed in accordance with requirements set out in government Regulation No. 27/2012 on Environmental Permitting. Under this regulation a terms of reference is not required, with the process instead requiring an ANDAL and RKL-RPL.

3 Project Description The assessment describes both the existing operation and the project extension. The existing and new power plants will use low grade coal that has a calorific value of approximately 4,200 kcal and Sulphur content of 0.33-0.35% (weight based) supplied from Sumatera and/or Kalimantan islands. In addition, high speed diesel will be used as auxiliary fuel for start-up and stabilizing the power generation prior to switching to coal.

The main components of the existing facility are three 315 MW power plants, an emission stack, coal yard and handling facilities, water treatment and cooling water system, fly/bottom ash storage, and jetty.

The project extension involves:

- Construction of a fourth 315 MW power plant including installation of associated equipment and systems covering an area of approximately 16.5 hectares within the existing 117 hectares of PLN land

- Mobilization of up to 2,200 construction workforces during peak construction

- Jetty extension to a length of 280 meters to accommodate simultaneous coal unloading from two barges

- Upgrading of drainage, fuel, cooling water, and power transmission systems

- Anticipated additional employment of up to 120 personnel when the fourth power plant becomes operational

Figures, photos, and drawing are provided to support the information contained in the project description. Overall, the project description is clear and adequate for the impact assessment purpose, except for that for the post operation phase as described below.

Unlike the description of the construction and operation activities, that of the post-operation activities (i.e. post 30-years of operation) is limited, just stating that the facility would continue to be operated, converted to gas fuel, have its capacity increased or subject to decommissioning without further elaboration.


Relevant national laws and regulations are listed.

5 Environmental Baseline The ANDAL addendum includes adequate information of the existing environmental baseline conditions in the area required for the extension project and its proximity.

No

and B)


However, the baseline information related to coastal water quality and marine biota potential as fishery resources for the local fishermen are deficient, and do not provide adequate insights into potential impacts of existing and expanded operations.

Similarly, the socio-economic and public health baseline data relies on secondary data published by the government instead of primary data acquired through a social survey. In the absence of primary data, project impacts on local communities cannot be accurately assessed. Additionally, information on cultural heritage within the study area is lacking.

6 Analysis of Alternatives The ANDAL addendum only considers the sole alternative of an additional power plant. Other than expansion project siting, no different technological options or construction methods were considered.


The ANDAL addendum provides a reasonable assessment of both environmental and social impacts and risks for the extension project. The assessment was undertaken using a semi-quantitative methodology which considered:

- Ambient air quality - Ambient noise level - Road and sea traffic - Coastal marine water quality - Coastal abrasion and sedimentation - Marine biota - Community perceptions - Employment and business opportunities - Public health

Review of the assessment findings suggests that impacts and risks to marine water quality, marine biota, employment and business opportunities, and public health may have been underestimated.

Risks associated with institutional capacity and commitment to managing impacts are not assessed as this undertaking is not mandatory in an ANDAL addendum.


The RKL-RPL details mitigation measures and monitoring requirements to be undertaken by PLTU Lontar. Some of the mitigation measures are unclear or insufficient (e.g., mitigation and monitoring required to ensure that the drainage from the coal stockpiles does not discharge directly to the river and coastal areas).

Budget allocations to implement additional mitigation measures and monitoring are not explicitly provided for the extenson project.

9 Information Disclosure Although government Regulation No. 27/2012 on Environmental Permitting does not require information disclosure and public consultation for ANDAL and RKL-RPL addendum, PLPLTU Lontar organized an information dissemination meeting for three villages, and sub-district officials in the proximity of the extension project

area. Sufficient details were provided on the project description, technology selected, the land area to be used, and employment. This dissemination was undertaken prior to the construction phase.


As indicated for Information Disclosure village representatives and officials were invited to evaluate the ANDAL and RKL-RPL addendum documents. Women’s participation in the consultation process was confirmed.


The ANDAL addendum does not indicate the existence of a grievance mechanism. However, public concerns, complaints, and grievances are received by UIP’s Public Relations/Communication department which verifies and forwards them to the responsible unit with authority to respond.

12 EMP Implementation Project is at pre-construction phase. Observations during the site visit indicated that PLTU Lontar adheres to the RKL-RPL addendum in implementing its environmental and social mitigation measures and monitoring.

13 Monitoring and Reporting Conduct and reporting of monitoring could not be assessed since no RKL-RPL implementation reports were provided by PLTU Lontar for review.

Findings on compliance and quality of data and analysis


1 Institutional Structure PT. PLN (Persero), based in Makassar city, is the project proponent. As typical of the PLN institutional structure, the UIP Southern Sulawesi has several units, which have duties related to safeguards distributed within the Planning, Construction, and Project Implementation units:

- Planning Unit is responsible for preparing, implementing, and evaluating impacts related to project facilities and land issues

- Construction Unit is responsible for preparing, implementing, and evaluating safety, occupational health, security, and environmental program

- Project Implementation Unit is responsible for preparing, managing, and evaluating safety, occupational health, security, and environment program; and preparing, managing, and evaluating corporate social responsibility activities as agreed on with the UIP office

2 Budget At the UIP level, PLN allocates funds for management and monitoring activities. The Southern Sulawesi UIP prepares an annual detailed plan and budget covering AMDAL and UKL-UPL preparation, and implementation of mitigation measures and monitoring requirements. Annual budget allocations depend on the volume and number of proposed activities.


3 Human Resources In the PLN organization structure, UIP environmental specialists supervise UPP environmental specialists, with each UIP specialist supervising two UPP specialists. UIP and UPP staff receive environmental assessment training in courses covering AMDAL A (basic level training on AMDAL), AMDAL B (preparation of AMDAL

documents), AMDAL C (advanced level training for AMDAL review), and preparation of UKL-UPL.


1 Coherence Based on desk study, it was concluded that preparation of the project AMDAL was in accordance with prescribed processes and procedures. Eligibility of the project and its compliance with spatial planning was assessed at the initial project phase through securing the required government agency recommendation.

2 Transparency During the AMDAL preparation, a social survey and interviews with the local community, affected people, and the general public in the project area were undertaken.

3 Consistency Based on desk conducted, it was concluded that preparation of the project AMDAL was consistent with prescribed processes and procedures.

4 Effectiveness No determination could be made regarding effectiveness based on the available information.



Although projects of this size (i.e., two x 2 MW) would normally be subject to UKL-UPL, the project appears to have been instead categorized as an AMDAL type project due the large number of persons directly affected, potential impacts to endangered bird species, and lesser extent impacts to protected forest, and water quality and aquatic biota due to erosion.

2 Scoping The scoping process involving identification of potential environmental and social impacts was undertaken by looking at the interaction between the project activities and environmental and social components that may be impacted. Potential impacts were then evaluated to identify issues that should be assessed in detail in the AMDAL study. The scoping report covered:

- Proposed activities - Planned environmental management - Environmental components affected - Scoping (potential impacts, evaluation of potential impacts) - Study area - Schedule for the AMDAL study

At the scoping stage, only limited information was available. The following criteria were therefore used to make a determination of impact significance:

- High pressure to an environmental component - Affected environmental component of importance to the daily

livelihood of surrounding community (social and economical values) and other environmental component (ecological values)

- Strong community concern about an environmental component - Applicable regulation or policy prohibiting impacts

3 Project Description The PLTM Lapai mini-hydro power plant is located in Koreiha and Watumotaha villages, Ngapa sub-district, Kolaka Utara Regency, South-east Sulawesi Province. The AMDAL provides details on the engineering aspects of the project.

4 Policy, Legal and Key laws and regulations are not listed in the project AMDAL study.

Administrative Framework

5 Environmental Baseline The AMDAL provides baseline information on physical-chemical, biological, social economic, social cultural, and public health components. Details are provided of protected fauna in the project area (e.g., Haliastur indus, Elanus caeruleus, Falco moluccensis,

Tyto alba, Halcyon chloris, Macaca ochreata, Hydrosaurus

amboinensis, and Macrogalidia musschenbroekii), including several CITES vulnerable to extinct bird species.

6 Analysis of Alternatives Only one option was considered in the project AMDAL.


The AMDAL describes potentially significant environmental and social impacts using matrix. The impact and risk assessment considered:

- Number of people affected - Distribution of impacts - Impact duration and intensity - Number of environmental components affected - Cumulative impacts - Reversibility or irreversibility of impacts

Evaluation of impacts particularly focused on:

- Social, economic, cultural, and public health conditions of the community in Koreiha and Watumotaha villages

- Flora and fauna, and protected forest in the project area - Erosion and sedimentation around the project site - Hydrological conditions around the project site

8 Environmental Management Plan (EMP)

The UKL-UPL describes the management of impacts during the project pre-construction, construction, operation, and post-construction phases, covering:

1) Environmental impacts to be mitigated 2) Impact type and source 3) Performance indicator 4) Mitigation type (technological, social-economic, institutional) 5) Location of mitigation measures 6) Implementation period 7) Institutional arrangements (implementer, supervisor,

recipient of reports)

The UKL-UPL also describes monitoring requirements for each project phase, covering:

1) Impacts monitored (type of impact, indicator/parameter monitored, source of impact)

2) Form of monitoring (method of data collection and analysis, location of monitoring, time and frequency of monitoring)

3) Institutional arrangements for environmental monitoring (implementer, supervisor, recipient of reports)

9 Information Disclosure Information disclosure was undertaken by the project proponent through inviting relevant technical agencies at the regency level, local government of Ngapa sub-district, community leaders and affected people. In addition, a project notification was announced in the Kendari Pos daily newspaper.


The AMDAL poorly documents the extent of community consultations undertaken. Although there is some indications that

some consultations were completed prior to commencement of construction no records of such consultation are provided.


At project level, environmental and social complaints during the construction phase are handled by the UIP’s Public Relation/Communication department, which verifies and forwards the complaint to the relevant unit with the authority to respond. During the operational phase complaints are handled by the Transmission Unit. In addition, the government Environmental Agency (known as Badan Lingkungan Hidup or Dinas Lingkungan Hidup) will also be informed of any complaints related to PLN projects for subsequent follow up with the project proponent.

12 EMP Implementation Project is at pre-construction phase.

Findings on compliance and quality of data and analysis


1 Institutional Structure PT. PLN (Persero) UIP XI, based in Mataram, is the project proponent. Typical of the PLN institutional structure, the UIP has several units, which have safeguard duties distributed within the Planning, Construction, and Project Implementation units:

- Planning Unit is responsible for preparing, implementing, and evaluating environmental assessments and environmental management related to project facilities and land issues

- Construction Unit is responsible for preparing, managing, and evaluating safety, occupational health, security, and environmental program

- Project Implementation Unit is responsible for preparing, managing, and evaluating safety, occupational health, security, and environment program; and preparing, managing, and evaluating corporate social responsibility activities as agreed on with the UIP office

The ANDAL provides additional data on the organization and profile of UIP XI.

2 Budget At the UIP level, PLN allocates funds for management and monitoring activities. The UIP XI prepares an annual detailed plan and budget, covering AMDAL and UKL-UPL preparation, and implementation of mitigation measures and monitoring requirements. Annual budget allocations depend on the volume and number of proposed activities.

The physical and financial progress of activities are regularly

monitored and reported.

3 Human Resources In the PLN organizational structure, UIP environmental specialists supervise UPP environmental specialists. UIP and UPP staff receive environmental assessment training in courses covering AMDAL A (basic level training on AMDAL), AMDAL B (preparation of AMDAL documents), AMDAL C (review of AMDAL documents), and preparation of UKL-UPL.


1 Coherence Based on desk study, it was concluded that preparation of the project AMDAL is in accordance with prescribed processes and procedures. Eligibility of the project and its compliance with spatial planning was assessed at the initial project stage by securing the required recommendation from relevant government agencies.

2 Transparency During the AMDAL study, a social survey and interviews with local communities, affected persons and general public around the project area were carried out.

3 Consistency Based on desk study, it was concluded that the AMDAL preparation is consistent with prescribed processes and procedures.




The power transmission lines and towers will cross over 7,056 hectares of limited production forest and and 1,372 hectares of protection forest. Transmission towers 142 to 159 (18 towers), and 139 to 141 (3 towers) will be constructed in production forest and protection forest, respectively.

In accordance with MOE Regulation No. 5/2012 on Type of Business and/or Activity Requiring AMDAL, particularly Appendix II, the transmission line project is subject to AMDAL since it will impinge upon protection forest.

2 Scoping A scoping process was undertaken which examined the interaction between project activities and environmental and social components that may be impacted. Potential impacts were then evaluated to identify issues that should be addressed in detail in the AMDAL study. The scoping report covered:

- Proposed activities - Planned environmental management - Environmental components affected - Scoping (potential evaluation of potential impacts) - Study area - Schedule for the AMDAL study

3 Project Description The 44.73 kilometer long power transmission line will span from Kabupaten Timor Tengah to Kabupaten Timor Tengah Selatan. The construction involves erection of 159 transmission towers, which cross over seventeen villages and seven sub-districts. Initially, 162 towers were proposed to be built, but three towers were eliminated due to their unsuitable locations (two towers were located in a valley, and one tower was located in close proximity to a village). The transmission line will cross over protection forest (which

provides a buffer system for water conservation, flood prevention, and erosion control, and maintaining soil fertility), and production forest.

The project proponent applied for a Forestry Borrow-to-Use permit (Izin Pinjam Pakai Kawasan Hutan or IPPKH) as stipulated in the Ministry of Forestry Regulation No. P.16/Menhut-II/2014 on Guidelines for Forest Area IPPKH. Subsequently, the Forestry Agency of East Nusa Tenggara Province issued a technical recommendations for the IPPKH based on the Letter No. Dk. 522.16/13/II/NTT-2015 (dated 16 April 2015).


Key laws and regulations are not listed in the project AMDAL study.

5 Environmental Baseline The AMDAL provides baseline information physical-chemical, biological (including biodiversity status), social economic, social culture, and public health components.

6 Analysis of Alternatives No analysis of project alternatives was undertaken in the project AMDAL. However, at the feasibility stage a decision was made to eliminate three towers for engineering (spanning a valley) and social (close proximity to a settlement) reasons.

Project planning was based on a field survey which considered technical, economical, social, and environmental aspects. The length of the power line between towers was designed to be as short as possible in order to reduce power loss, achieve cost saving, and increase ease of construction and maintenance. Other considerations in the project design were to reduce environmental impacts, protect natural sanctuaries, avoid community impacts and disputes, minimize visual impact to tourism, and protect cultural and historical heritage.


The AMDAL describes potential environmental and social impacts and identifies potentially significant impacts using a combination of mathematical calculation and professional judgment. The magnitude of impacts was scaled using an Environmental Quality Scale, which employs both qualitative and quantitative methods.


The RKL-RPL describes the management of project impacts as follows:

A. Technology - Construct the transmission lines in accordance with

applicable Indonesian standards (i.e., SNI 04.6918-2002 on Requirements of SUTT and SUTET for Right of Way and Clearance)

- Undertake regular maintenance of vehicles used during construction (to reduce emissions)

- Periodically measure electromagnetic exposure as regulated in the applicable Indonesian standard (i.e., SNI 04-6950-2003 on Threshold Value of Electromagnetic Force)

- Erect notice boards during the construction work B. Socio-economic

- Forbid workers to hunt birds in the protection forest - Provide information to community on planned activities as

standard operating practice - Provide compensation to affected people whose lands are

acquired by the project

- Provide compensation to people in case any damage occurs during stringing of conductor cables

C. Institutional - Apply for a Forest Borrow-To-Use permit prior to

constructing towers and installing the transmission lines in forest areas

- Inform the Bupati, Camat, and Head of Village about the schedule for information dissemination

- Inform local communities about project activities through newspapers and radio and through village channels

9 Information Disclosure Information dissemination was carried out by PLN (Persero) UIP XI to inform local communities about the project and planned project activities. Information dissemination took place during the field visits and the land acquisition consultation process in accordance with PLN’s standard operating procedure on Information Disclosure of Project Plan.


Multiple public consultations were carried out during AMDAL preparation.


At the project level, environmental and social complaints during the construction phase are handled by the UIP’s Public Relation/Communication department, which verifies and forwards a complaint to the relevant unit with the authority to respond. During the operational phase complaints are handled by the Transmission Unit. In addition, the government Environmental Agency (known as Badan Lingkungan Hidup or Dinas Lingkungan Hidup) will also be informed of any complaints related to PLN projects for subsequent follow up with the project proponent.

1 Coherence Based on desk study, it was concluded that preparation of the ANDAL and RKL-RPL was in accordance with the prescribed processes and procedures for an AMDAL extension project and adhered to the direction of the Environmental Agency of DKI Jakarta Province (Ref: Letter No. 28/Andal/-1.774.151 dated 30 May 2011 on Recommendation for Updating of ANDAL and RKL-RPL of Power Plant Project of PT Pembangkitan Jawa Bali UP Muara Karang).

2 Transparency According to the government Regulation No. 27/2012 on Environmental Permitting, no public notification of consultation is required for ANDAL addendum projects. However, PLTGU Muara Karang did inform local communities about the extension project during an information dissemination meeting.

Community representatives and government stakeholders were additionally involved in the evaluation of the ANDAL and RKP-RKL.

3 Consistency Based on desk study, it was concluded that preparation of the ANDAL and RKL-RPL for this extension project was consistent with prescribed processes and procedures as set out in government Regulation No. 27/2012 on Environmental Permitting.

The ANDAL addendum focuses on the assessment of potentially significant environmental and social impacts of the extension project. Based on the outcomes of the impact assessment, the RKL-RPL defines mitigation measures for the significant impacts and corresponding monitoring requirements. Moreover, for those impacts that are considered insignificant but which could be of concern if not properly managed, mitigation measures and monitoring are also defined in the RKL-RPL.

4 Effectiveness The ANDAL addendum process undertaken for the extension project is considered effective with regards to focusing the assessment on potentially significant environmental and social impacts. Notwithstanding the limited engagement of community and government stakeholders, feedback provided was beneficial in identifying effective mitigating measures and monitoring requirements to be included in the RKL-RPL.



This AMDAL has already been subject to revision. The original AMDAL for the Muara Karang Power Plant was produced in 1993 and was subsequently updated in 2011 to accommodate changes in the design and increased capacity of the power plant.

The ANDAL and RKL-RPL addendum for the new extension project was completed in compliance with government Regulation No. 27/2012 on Environmental Permitting.

2 Scoping A limited scoping process, including conduct of a baseline survey, was completed according to requirements set out in government Regulation No. 27/2012 on Environmental Permitting.

Potential impacts were identified for each extension project phase as follows:

- Pre-construction phase (information dissemination, backfilling and land preparation)

- Construction phase (worker recruitment, mobilization of equipment and materials, land preparation, construction of the power plant unit and utilities, and widening of the Muara Karang River intake canal)

- Operation phase (worker recruitment, and power plant operation and maintenance)

3 Project Description The assessment provides a comprehensive description of the project, covering:

- Existing plant operations - Evaluation of activities - Land clearing - Construction of the plant extension including equipment,

installation of piping system, and the operational plan (procurement of natural gas, combustion system and exhaust gas, cooling system, and power plant system)

- Construction of supporting facilities, including installation of the new gas pipeline and widening of the water intake canal


A detailed description of the legal framework, consisting of key laws and regulations is included in the addendum document.

5 Environmental Baseline The ANDAL addendum provides baseline information on:

a) Physical-chemical component - Climate type, rainfall, wind, humidity, solar exposure, and

air temperature - Air quality and noise - Land topography - Water level at intake canal - Bathymetry - Tides - Marine current

b) Biological component - Aquatic biota

c) Geography and demography

In addition, the addedum provides an evaluation of management and monitoring at the existing power plant for the following aspects:

- Ambient air quality - Noise generated from operation of equipment - Marine water quality due to increasing water temperature and

introduction of pollutants - Public perceptions

6 Analysis of Alternatives The ANDAL addendum only describes the already determined final design and configuration of the extension project.


The ANDAL addendum provides a comprehensive assessment of both environmental and social impacts and risks for the extension project. The assessment was undertaken using a combination of professional judgement, mathematical modelling, and a semi-quantitative analysis.

Consideration was given to:

- Comparison of environmental quality with and without the extension project

- Impacts to biodiversity were assessed by a special study and inventory in the surrounding areas carried out by the Faculty of

Forestry, Bogor Agricultural University - Calculation of carbon dioxide sequestration in private

conservation areas of PT PJB UP Muara Karang


The RKL-RPL details mitigation measures and monitoring requirements for the extension project, including:

- Technological approaches for pollution prevention (use of technology such as low nitrogen oxide burner to control/reduce emissions during operation, noise control using a building enclosure system with sound proof walls)

- Occupational Health and Safety Management System (integration of environmental management with occupational health and safety management by applying OHSAS 18001)

- Regular emission monitoring and reporting (quarterly monitoring and reporting of manual emission load, continuous emission monitoring system emission load, wastewater discharges)

The RKL-RPL states that some potential impacts are considered manageable, and can be managed effectively. A commitment to this effect is provided in a Statement Letter No. 0449.SPn/KLH.01/UIP V/2016, signed and completed with duty stamp by the General Manager dated 18 April 2016.

9 Information Disclosure Government Regulation No. 27/2012 on Environmental Permitting does not require information disclosure and public consultation for ANDAL and RKL-RPL addendum. The ANDAL addendum describes the limited information dissemination that was undertaken as part of community consultations.

10 Consultation and Participation.

A consultation meeting was held with community members, the head of the neighborhood, and community leaders. Of the fifty participants, less than ten were women.


The RKL-RPL addendum does not indicate the existence of a grievance mechanism. However, PLN through its project level office has procedures to receive and follow-up on community complaints.

Especially for the physical-chemical component, baseline information are supported with laboratory results from the Marine Productivity and Quality Laboratory of the Marine and Fishery Faculty at Hassanudin University.

6 Analysis of Alternatives The ANDAL addendum only describes the already determined final design and configuration of the extension project.


The ANDAL addendum provides a comprehensive assessment of both environmental and social impacts and risks for the extension project. The assessment was undertaken using a combination of professional judgement, mathematical modelling, and a semi-quantitative analysis.

Preparation of the ANDAL addendum was carried out by the project proponent themselves since they are a recognized Service Provider for AMDAL Preparation. This is consistent with government regulation No. 27/2012 Article 10, Clause 1 allowing that project proponents can prepare an AMDAL document by themselves or request assistance from other parties.

It is noted that this was an integrated AMDAL comprising the main structures and supporting facilities of jetty, power plant, and transmission line, covering an area of 80 hectares for the expansion and a twelve kilometer length power transmission line. In addition, the study also involves other related sectors/parties such as Sea Communication and the Navy.


The RKL-RPL details mitigation measures and monitoring requirements for the extension project. It states that some potential impacts are considered manageable, and can be managed effectively. A commitment to this effect is explicitly written in a Statement Letter No. 225.SPn/013/UIP VIII/2013, signed and completed with duty stamp by the General Manage.

In addition, this addendum also presents good practices carried out by PLN (Persero) for the project, including:

- Management of hazardous wastes such as used lubricant, used

gloves, dirty rags, used tungsten lamps, and used accumulators by establishing a temporary depot as required by regulation

- Application of technological approach to reduce air pollution by using electrostatic precipitator and a large capacity air filter which are able to separate more than 99% of fly ash

- Use of coal with low sulfur content (less than 0.4%) is another technological alternative applied (instead of flue gas desulphurization)

9 Information Disclosure Government Regulation No. 27/2012 on Environmental Permitting does not require information disclosure and public consultation for ANDAL and RKL-RPL addendum. No details of information dissemination are provided.


A public consultation was carried out but no details of attendance, including women’s participation is provided.
