Environmental Monitoring Report
I.        EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.    Indonesia has one of the lowest coverage rates of conventional off-site urban sewerage in
Asia. Only 11 out of its 330 cities have partial sewerage systems, and only 2% of the national
urban population is connected to central WWTPs; the remaining urban population depends on
poorly constructed and maintained septic tanks and unlined pit latrines, which result in leachates
penetrating the aquifers. The present sanitation services are inadequate and unintegrated, due
to inadequate and poorly enforced regulations. The project will respond to the needs of urban
communities (including low-income households) by constructing new separate sewerage systems
and wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), setting up local wastewater infrastructure
management institutions, and strengthening the relevant regional government departments.

2.    The project was approved on 31 March 2014 for $120 million ($80 million from the Ordinary
Capital Resources and $40 million from the ASEAN Infrastructure Fund). The loan agreements
were signed on 13 May 2014, declared effective on 9 July 2014, and scheduled for closing on 31
December 2020. The project will be implemented in four cities i.e. Makassar, Jambi, Pekanbaru
and Palembang.1 The Government of Australia, through the Department of Foreign Affairs and
Trade, DFAT, will provide collaborative financing of $48.83 million grant to finance (i) the
preparation of DED for the wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and sewerage systems in
Cimahi and Makassar, and (ii) the DED and capital costs for sewerage, WWTP and construction
supervision in Palembang2. On October 2nd 2017, the Project Implementation Support
Consultant (PISC) for the project - Loan No. 3123/-I8280 (AIF)-INO Metropolitan Sanitation
Management Investment Project (MSMIP) was appointed by Directorate of General Housing
Settlement (DGHS) to undertake tasks listed under Contract HK.02.03/MSMIP-
KONS/X/11/2017. The PISC contract currently applies for the implementation support
requirements for the local governments of Makassar, Pekanbaru and Jambi.

3.    In late 2016, the Government issued a new effluent standard (Permen LHK No.68/2016)
regarding quality standards of domestic waste. The new standard is more stringent compare to
the previous standard, which was the basis for the preparation of WWTP DEDs. This means
that WWTPs in Makassar, Pekanbaru and Jambi will require a redesign. This change in the
effluent standards prompted also changes in the wastewater treatment plan (WWTP)
technologies; and address deficiencies in previous detailed engineering design works prior to
PISC engagement. The City of Makassar (Losari) WWTP will utilize a Moving Bed Film Biofilm
Reactor (MBBR) while the cities of Pekanbaru opted for and Jambi (most likely) will opt for the
Conventional Activated Sludge (CAS) due to the simplicity of the process with lower operating
costs than an MBBR.

  Originally in five cities, but Cimahi was dropped during the major change in project approved by the Board in January 2017 (Source
of Information: Aide Memoire of Review Mission for Loan 3123/L8280-INO: Metropolitan Sanitation Management Investment Project,
30 April -5 June 2018 (Intermittent)).
2 The PISC contract currently applies for the implementation support requirements for the local governments of Makassar,
Pekanbaru and Jambi only. The works and consulting services contracts in Palembang which are financed by DFAT are procured
using the DFAT procurement system. It is anticipated that the environmental monitoring reporting requirements will be done
separately by the Consultant of that Sub-project. Those reports shall be annexed to forthcoming SEMRs.

                                                                                                                                  1
Environmental Monitoring Report
4.    The project is Category B for both environmental and social safeguards. There are no
indigenous people that will be affected by it. Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan3, and Initial
Environmental Examination (IEE) for each of the Subprojects were submitted in 2012 and 2013.
Due to the changes that had taken since then, it is imperative to update these documents during
the detailed engineering phase.

5.    Implementation monitoring of EMP requirements is still limited because there are still no
construction activities in each of the Sub-projects. However, the environmental management
requirements during the detailed engineering phase are being assiduously considered by
addressing the new effluent standard issued by the Government, and climate change and
adaptation in the preparation of options that will be acceptable to the local government units, and
to the community as well, even if the selected options has yet to be fully disclosed to the general
public.

6.     It is anticipated that following this reporting period, the IEEs for each of the Subprojects will
have already been updated and submitted to the ADB based on more recent detailed engineering
design information. In addition, the updated information will result in a more project-specific
environmental management plan that will be incorporated into each of the tender documents that
will be issued for each of the contract packages that have been formulated.

                 II.       PROJECT OVERVIEW, GENERAL SAFEGUARD MATTERS

1. Project Overview

7.      Indonesia has one of the lowest coverage rates of conventional off-site urban sewerage in
Asia. Only 11 out of its 330 cities have partial sewerage systems, and only 2% of the national
urban population is connected to central WWTPs; the remaining urban population depends on
poorly constructed and maintained septic tanks and unlined pit latrines, which result in leachates
penetrating the aquifers. The present sanitation services are inadequate and unintegrated, due
to inadequate and poorly enforced regulations. This results in limited desludging of septic tanks,
inadequate septage treatment facilities, and fragmented operational responsibility. Improved
access to safe water and basic sanitation is part of the Government of Indonesia’s effort to achieve
its 2015 Millennium Development Goal (MDG) targets. While the government’s MDG reports
suggest that good progress has been achieved with respect to sanitation, in practice the available
facilities are substandard, and rely on unsustainable septage removal and treatment facilities. As
a result, there is significant environmental pollution, widespread contamination of surface and
groundwater with the associated spread of water-related diseases, and high infant mortality. The
inadequate sanitation systems and their resulting environmental and health impacts produce
economic opportunity losses of about $5.6 billion annually, equivalent to 2.3% of the country’s
gross domestic product. These issues can be solved by the introduction of (i) public sewerage
and wastewater treatment facilities; (ii) an institutional framework for their effective operation and
maintenance (O&M); and (iii) public awareness of good sanitation practices.

                                                                                                      2
Environmental Monitoring Report
8.    The project will support the Government of Indonesia in the improvement of urban
wastewater services in the cities of Jambi, Makassar, Palembang and Pekanbaru, which currently
lack any pipes sewerage and wastewater treatment facilities. The project will respond to the needs
of urban communities (including low-income households) by constructing new separate sewerage
systems and wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), setting up local wastewater infrastructure
management institutions, and strengthening the relevant regional government departments.

9.     The project was approved on 31 March 2014 for $120 million ($80 million from the Ordinary
Capital Resources and $40 million from the ASEAN Infrastructure Fund). The loan agreements
were signed on 13 May 2014, declared effective on 9 July 2014, and scheduled for closing on 31
December 2020. The Government of Australia, through the Department of Foreign Affairs and
Trade (DFAT) provides collaborative financing of $36.37 million grant to finance (i) the preparation
of detailed engineering design (DED) for WWTPs and sewerage systems in Makassar, and
(ii) the DED and capital costs for WWTP, pump station and construction supervision in
Palembang. The central government provides $98.14 million equivalent to finance DED in Jambi
and Pekanbaru, collection systems in Jambi, Makassar, Palembang, and Pekanbaru, awareness
campaign, taxes and duties, and financial charges. The participating cities provide $55.57 million
equivalent to finance land acquisition, involuntary resettlements, property connections and
construction of community-based sanitation systems and in Palembang in particular, collection
system in the North catchment area.

11. In late 2016, the Government issued a new effluent standard (Permen LHK No.68/2016)
regarding quality standards of domestic waste. The new standard is more stringent 4 compared
to the previous standard5 which was the basis for the preparation of WWTP DEDs. This means
that WWTPs in Makassar, Pekanbaru and Jambi will require a redesign6.

2. Project Progress

12. On October 2nd 2017, the Project Implementation Support Consultant (PISC) for the
project - Loan No. 3123/-I8280 (AIF)-INO. Metropolitan Sanitation Management Investment
Project was appointed by the Directorate of General Housing Settlement (DGHS) to undertake
tasks listed under Contract HK.02.03/MSMIP-KONS/X/11/2017. The PISC consists of lead
Consultant SMEC International Pty Ltd in joint venture with Stantec Australia Pty Ltd (ex-MWH)
and in association with the following firms as sub-consultants: PT. Infra Tama Yakti (ITY), PT.
SMEC Denka Indonesia, PT. Amurwa International and PT. Widya Graha Asana (WGA).

13. The Contract will run from October 2nd, 2017 to January 2nd, 2021 which is a reduced 40-
month period from the 48 month period defined in the RFP. The PISC contract currently applies
to the implementation support requirements for the local governments of Makassar, Pekanbaru
and Jambi only. The works and consulting services contracts in Palembang which are financed
by DFAT are procured using the DFAT procurement system. It is anticipated that the
environmental monitoring reporting requirements will be done separately by the Consultant of that
Sub-project.

3. Design Status

14. The Detailed Design of the wastewater treatment plants and sewerage networks have been
prepared by other consultants, namely MWH (Makassar and Palembang), Perancang Adhinusa
and Dwikarsa Envacotama for the three cities, which currently is further being reviewed by the
PISC. Following review, the PISC will make changes where necessary and provide a robust
design that can be tendered either by using International Competitive Bidding (ICB) or National
Competitive Bidding (NCB) processes. The tendering process has been defined based on the
contracts for the Wastewater Treament plant/WTP, Wastewater sewer system/WSS which will be

4 In addition to the lower required BOD content, there is also a minimum requirement of Ammonia content that must be met.

budgeted through an ADB loan, and funds from Central Government and local Government. Once
the design and tender documents are prepared accordingly, they can be tendered and the
Construction Phase can commence. The PISC will provide construction supervision of the
development of the sewerage systems for Jambi, Makassar and Pekanbaru only.

15. The local government officials of the City of Makassar opted for a moving bed biofilm reactor
(MBBR) after being provided by the DGHS supported by the PISC with three (3) options7 of the
WWTP for the city to choose from. The local government officials of Pekanbaru opted for the
conventional activated sludge (CAS) option after DGHS supported by PISC prepared three (3)
options8 to choose from. The local government officials of Jambi will be presented with similar
technology options of the WWTP similar to that of Pekanbaru. Unofficial information as of this
reporting period indicate that the local government officials of Jambi9 would also most likely adopt
the same WWTP technology as Pekanbaru’s. The decision for the selection of the option rests
with the local government officials who base their decision on capital; and operating and
maintenance expenses; The advantages and disadvantages of each of the options are as follows:

biofilm activated sludge (FBAS); and iii) moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR). Previously, the ABR (trickling filter and sludge drying
bed) was the chosen technology for the WWTP (the DED is ready), but this alone will not meet the current effluent standard (Aide

     with the help of fixed biological
     cultures, where plant roots are
     used as biofilm carriers; additional

     the reactors are covered by a
     shading structure or a greenhouse.

     result, the composition of the

18. This is the first Semi-annual Environmental Monitoring Report (SEMR) covering the period
01 January to 30 June 2018. It is prepared by the CPMU and submitted to ADB in accordance
with the safeguard monitoring and reporting requirements set out in the Project Administration
Manual, Project Grant Agreement as well as the ADB Safeguard Policy Statement 2009 (SPS).

19. The Directorate General of Human Settlements (DGHS), Ministry of Public Works (MPW)
is the executing agency of the MSMIP. It created a Central Project Management Unit (CPMU)
under its Directorate of Environmental Sanitation Development (PPLP). The implementing
agencies at the subproject level are two units working together: the Satuan Kerja (SATKER) for
the Provinces (South Sulawesi for the Makassar Subproject, Riau for the Pekanbaru Subproject,
and Jambi for the Jambi Subproject) as the Provincial Project Implementation Unit (PPIU); and
each of the city’s Local Project Management Units (LPMU).

20. Environmental Aspects. The table 4 below summarizes the institutional management for
the environmental aspects of the project. The links among related sections under the project is

22.     AMDAL Document (GOI Requirement). All three (3) subprojects under this phase of the
MSMIP had undergone environmental assessment following Indonesia’s environmental
regulations. Due to the change in WWTP technology in these 3 cities (Makassar, Jambi, and
Pekanbaru) and based on Government Regulation No. 27/2017 concerning the Environmental
Permit Article 50 that changes of Environmental Permits are required. In order the changes of
environmental permit process, so the ANDAL, RKL and RPL document and Environmental Permit
need to get updated through environmental screening. This screening will be followed by the
issuance of official letter from Local Environmental Agency on the requirement recommendation
of type of AMDAL document (ANDAL, RKL, RPL, or UKL-UPL) and the Environmental Permit
from Mayor of Makassar, Jambi, and Pekanbaru. The form of environmental screening matrix has
been informed to PPK Pekanbaru and Secretary of Public Work Agency of Makassar City by

PISC. The environmental screening matrix of WWTP Pekanbaru City and Makassar City as
presented on Appendix 1.

23.     Makassar Subproject. The Makassar Subproject had been issued an Environmental
Permit (EP) with supporting evidence appended in the ANDAL document (The ANDAL, RKL and
RPL for this subproject had been prepared twice – in 2010 and 2016). The PISC Consultant
recommended that since there is now a change in the wastewater technology, it will be prudent
to inform the issuing authority of this change, provide a technology description and request for an
amendment for the permit without undergoing the same permit processing again. This needs the
proper representation of the City Government to facilitate the issuance of an amended permit.
Currently, however, the local government of Makassar will resubmit an updated version to reflect
the technology change for the issuance of a new EP.

24.    Pekanbaru Subproject. The ANDAL, RKL and RPL for the Pekanbaru Subproject was
prepared in 2013. However, based on discussions with staff of the Dinas Lingkungan Hidup in
Pekanbaru, there was a mis-communication and these were not submitted for review and
recommendation for the issuance of the Environment Permit. Since there had been considerable
time had elapsed since the time of preparation, it would appear that the ANDAL/RKL and RPL
may have to be redone to take into account latest detailed engineering design information under
the PISC’s engagement or so it seems considering that there had been design review issues
found out in the preparation of the detailed design document.

25.    Jambi Subproject. The ANDAL, RKL and RPL for the Jambi Subproject was also not yet
made available during the coordination meeting and site visit in the local government sometime
mid-March 2018. This was ostensibly prepared sometime in 2013 and an Environment Permit
had already been issued. But the Environment Permit may need to be made available, and if
indeed had already been issued, the Proponent needs to request for extension of its validity if no
material changes to the project will take place.

26.    Palembang Subproject. The works and consulting services contracts in Palembang
which are financed by DFAT are procured using the DFAT procurement system. The
environmental monitoring has not been much done yet by the Palembang consultant18.

5. Updated EMPs, Incorporation of Safeguards Requirements into Project Contractual
   Arrangement

27. The Environmental Management Plan (EMP) forming part of the Initial Environmental
Examination (IEE) for Makassar, Jambi and Pekanbaru, all dated January 2013, still require
updating as of this reporting period. The detailed engineering design from which the updated IEE
will be based for the off-site wastewater collection system and treatment has yet to be completed
prompted by the inadequacies of the previous detailed engineering design as per review by the
PISC; the updated in the National effluent standard (Permen LHK No. 68/2016); and changes in

                                                                                                14
the technologies adopted for the wastewater treatment plants due to the change in the
aforementioned standards.

28. Environment management inputs have been provided in the draft Employer’s Requirements
that will form part of the tender documentation for the Design and Build mode of procurement for
the Makassar WWTP. Following the updating of the IEE, the environmental management
requirements as a part of IEE Makassar have been coordinated with PISCs Procurement
Specialist19 for the finalization of the environmental inputs to this document. This will be also
similarly done when the tender documents for the Pekanbaru and Jambi WWTPs will be prepared.

                         III.      ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE MONITORING

1. Status of EMP implementation (Mitigation Measures)

29.    The Subprojects in Pekanbaru and Jambi are currently under the detailed engineering
phase and the work will be conducted by the PISC. The PISC on the other hand prepared the
basic design for the Subproject in Makassar which will be procured under a Design and Build
procurement contract sometime within the next couple of months this year. These activities are
focusing on meeting climate change and adaptation requirements as well as the new effluent
standard issued by the Government; as well as resolving land acquisition issues. Consultation
with the local government officials had been on-going for quite some time in the selection of
WWTP technology options. However, consultations with the rest of the stakeholders for the
selected options has yet to take place in earnest.

30.      The IEEs submitted for Makassar, Pekanbaru and Jambi in 2013 are undergoing updating
based on current detailed engineering design requirements. Presented in the table below are the
generic environmental impacts and mitigations measures culled out from the environmental
management plan of those IEEs together with the status of compliance and further actions
required on issues that had been identified. Since there are no construction and operation
activities yet that are taking place, compliance reporting will not be complete for each of the item
presented.. The compliance status for Pre-construction Phase is still based on the original design
because no definite information had been made available yet for the new technology at that time
of reporting. It is anticipated that during the next SEMR, the Pre-construction Phase information
shall already be based from the approved updated IEEs as these are submitted to ADB for review
and comments. These will change and will be updated and reported accordingly.
