Semiannual Environmental Report January – June 2018 6
3.1 Package 3: 150 kV Bengkayang – Ngabang – Tayan Power Transmission Lines (Construction)
The Bengkayang – Ngabang – Tayan transmission lines were in the construction phase with stringing of the power lines as the primary activity in the Semester 1/2018 period. The progress of the construction phase is reported 100% as of the end of June 2018. Table 2 describes the mitigation
measures implemented by the Project for this construction activity, including its compliance level against the mitigation requirements defined in the
IEE (2011).
Table 2 Environmental Mitigation Status of Package 3
No Potential Impacts / Mitigation Requirements per IEE
(2011) Mitigation Implemented Compliance Status / Remarks
1. Vegetation Clearing (HVTL alignment)
The RoW is sited so as to avoid high value plantation trees and mature secondary forest trees as practical
as possible.
The alignment of transmission line routes has considered avoiding plantation and forestry areas as
indicated in tower schedule. However, several towers
pass through the forest area as this situation cannot
be avoided. For this reason, PLN has secured the
Head of Capital Investment Coordinating Board
Decree No. 6/1/IPPKH/PMDH/2017 (dated on
January 16, 2017) on Forestry Permits (Izin Pinjam
Pakai Kawasan Hutan or IPPKH) to enable
construction and operation of parts of the
transmission line crossing the forest area. The copy of
this permit is included in Appendix 2.a.
Based on this IPPKH permit, PLN will conduct reclamation and re-vegetation in 2018 – 2021 for forest areas that have been disturbed by the
construction of the transmission line.
The mitigation implemented with this
regard is compliant with its
requirement.
Vegetation removal will only be allowed within the designated width of the RoW and the minimum area
required for other infrastructure and activities.
Vegetation cutting within the RoW will be undertaken to achieve the required clearances.
Vegetation cutting within the RoW was conducted to
achieve the required clearance in accordance with the
requirements of the MEMR Regulation No. 18/2015.
The mitigation implemented with this
regard is compliant with its
requirement.
Tree removal and trimming will only be undertaken by hand tools, including chain saws.
No tree removal was undertaken during the Semester
1/2018 period.
Not applicable.
The use of herbicides will be strictly prohibited. The prohibition on the use of herbicides has been stated in the monthly MoM on February 15, 2018, although
vegetation removal is not conducted during the reporting
The mitigation implemented with this
regard is compliant with its
requirement.
Semiannual Environmental Report January – June 2018 7
No Potential Impacts / Mitigation Requirements per IEE
(2011) Mitigation Implemented Compliance Status / Remarks
period, as shown of Appendix 2.a.
Local people will be allowed access to cleared vegetation for the collection of building materials and
firewood.
No vegetation clearing was conducted during the
reporting period. Therefore, this mitigation requirement
not conducted.
Not applicable.
Burning of cleared vegetation will not be allowed; instead this material will be used to protect the soil
from erosion, particularly in steeper slope areas, until
more permanent soil protection measures are in
place.
No vegetation clearing conducted during the reporting
period. However, the contractor has provided the
warning sign that the burning of cleared vegetation is
prohibited during this project (as shown in Appendix
2.a)
The mitigation implemented with this
regard is compliant with its
requirement.
2. Soil Erosion (HVTL alignments)
Soil erosion control measures have been incorporated into the engineering design, including
the use of tower legs with adjustable height which
allow the tower to conform to the slope of the site,
thereby reducing land cutting and erosion.
In addition, mitigations designed in accordance with relevant guidelines and good construction practices,
adapted to suit the requirements at each site, will
include:
Minimizing the extent and duration of land
disturbance on steep slopes;
Using sandbags, banks or channels to divert
water flows from upslope around the disturbed
area;
Using vegetation cut during the establishment of
the RoW to protect the disturbed ground on a
temporary basis; and
The soil erosion control measures will be
regularly inspected and maintained during
construction and until the area is stabilized and
re-vegetated.
This mitigation requirement is not applicable for the
reporting period as the stringing works of the power
transmission lines do not cause soil disturbance.
Photo showing the stringing activity is included in
Appendix 2.b.
Not applicable.
3. Drainage (Substation)
The mitigation requirements for drainage are intended for the operation of transmission lines. Therefore, it is not
applicable for the operation of substation reported in this table.
Not applicable
4. Acid Sulphate Soils (HVTL alignments, Substations)
Semiannual Environmental Report January – June 2018 8
No Potential Impacts / Mitigation Requirements per IEE
(2011) Mitigation Implemented Compliance Status / Remarks
No areas of potentially acid forming soil have been
identified in the Project alignment. However, if such
conditions are encountered, the following mitigations
will apply:
If possible, excavation (such as for tower bases) should be avoided in areas with permanently
saturated soil, peat and swamp (if such are
encountered).
If it is not possible to avoid these areas, then care should be taken to minimize the exposure to air and
drying of saturated soil. The purpose is to minimize
oxidation, for instance: minimize the time in which the
excavation is left open; If possible, soil that is
saturated at the time of excavation should be
returned to the excavation on completion so that it
remains saturated thus preventing oxidation;
excavated soil which is saturated at the time of
excavation should be mixed with lime to neutralize
acidity, especially in the surface layers; and excess
oil should be mixed with lime and buried.
The construction of tower bases and sub-stations has been designed to avoid areas with permanently
saturated soil, peat and swamp, and hence
minimizing the potential for encountering acid
sulphate soil conditions.
Nevertheless, the Project reportedly does not have formal procedures to anticipate acid sulphate soil
conditions or have communicated this precaution to
the Contractors.
The mitigation implemented with this
regard is not compliant with its
requirement.
5. Water Quality Impacts (HVTL alignments, substation)
To protect against impacts on water quality arising
from the spillage of oil, fuel and other hazardous
materials, good international practices will be
adopted, including:
Fuel, oil and hazardous materials will be stored in designated areas with temporary impermeable
bunds in accordance with international standards
and at distance of at least 100 m from any water
course.
Refueling of machinery, equipment and vehicles will be undertaken at distance of at least 100 m
from any water course.
Any major work including oil changing and engine maintenance with the potential for oil to be spilled
will be done in designated areas at distance of at
least 100 m from any water course with
Fuel, oil and hazardous materials and wastes were stored in the contractor's warehouse without proper
segregation.
Refueling of vehicles was undertaken at the gas station. However, refueling of the stringing machine
was carried out at the construction site at adequate
distance from water courses.
Any major work including oil changing and engine maintenance with the potential for oil to be spilled
was conducted at the workshop.
Relevant evident related to the above descriptions is
shown in Appendix 2.c.
The mitigation implemented with this regard is partially compliant with its
requirements.
Semiannual Environmental Report January – June 2018 9
No Potential Impacts / Mitigation Requirements per IEE
(2011) Mitigation Implemented Compliance Status / Remarks
containment to prevent any oil spills
Waste oil shall be collected and taken away for recycling.
Oil contaminated material shall be disposed of at designated waste disposal facilities.
Herbicides will not be used in the Project. The prohibition on the use of herbicides has been stated in the monthly MoM on February 15, 2018, although
vegetation removal is not conducted during the reporting
period, as shown earlier in Appendix 2.a.
The mitigation implemented with this
regard is compliant with its
requirement.
6. Air Quality Impact
Substation construction sites and access roads should be sprayed with water as necessary to
suppress dust.
Accumulated soil and debris should be cleaned from the adjacent tarmac roads as required.
Trucks should pass through a water pit when leaving the site, and excessively muddy trucks
should be washed prior to departure from site.
Truckloads should be covered, with the exception of on-site or local trips.
Cut and fill should be balanced to the maximum extent possible at each site in order to minimize
the need for fill and for spoil disposal.
Soil and temporary spoil piles should be covered or sprayed if generating dust. Piles that are not going to
be used in the short term should be allowed to
develop vegetation cover.
The main activity conducted for Package 3 is stringing of
the transmission line involving the use of stringing
machine, light vehicles, and the cable itself. This activity
does not cause major dust generation, soil and debris,
cut and fill, muddy trucks, and spoil piles. Therefore, the
mitigation requirements as defined herein are not
relevant during the reporting period.
Not applicable.
7. Construction Waste Management (HVTL alignments, Substations)
Solid wastes generated from construction activities
should not be haphazardly left around construction
sites:
Construction waste will be contained in a designated area on each site (tower site, substation or
substation access road).
Wastes will be routinely collected and disposed of at
The contractor has provided trash bags placed at
designed areas within the construction site. Trash
bags that have been full of construction garbage on a
regular basis have been disposed to Tebedak final
disposal owned by Sanggau District. Supporting
documents related to this mitigation are shown in
Appendix 2.d.
The mitigation implemented with this
regard is compliant with its
requirements.
Semiannual Environmental Report January – June 2018 10
No Potential Impacts / Mitigation Requirements per IEE
(2011) Mitigation Implemented Compliance Status / Remarks
licensed waste disposal facilities.
8. Domestic Waste Management (Worker Camps)
Temporary worker camps will be required to be provided with appropriate sanitation facilities,
including water supply, washing facilities,
temporary toilets, and waste containers.
Based on ADB mission in December 2017 related to the
workers camp conditions that are still not feasible, on
March 2018 the contractor has increased the number of
worker camp into 2 houses rented from the local people
and improved the sanitation facilities, including water
supply, washing facilities, temporary toilets, and waste
containers.
Supporting documents related to this mitigation are
shown in Appendix 2.e.
The mitigation implemented with this
regard is compliant with its
requirements.
Toilets should either by of a pit type that are at least 20 m from any water body, or porta-potty
type. If the latter, toilets should be emptied on a
regular or as needed basis, and the effluent
disposed of at an approved waste disposal facility.
As stated earlier the contractor has improved the
sanitation facilities of worker camp as shown in
Appendix 2.e.
Worker camp sanitation facilities should be developed in consultation with relevant local
authorities and has all required local, province and
national approvals.
The contractor does not develop the sanitation facilities.
Therefore this mitigation requirement is not applicable.
All worker camps should be decommissioned at the moment it is no longer required and restored to
their natural condition.
Since the temporary worker camp is rented local
people’s houses, so there is no requirement to conduct the mentioned restoration. Therefore, this
mitigation requirement is not applicable.
9. Roads and Infrastructure (Roads adjacent to HVTL alignments, substations)
A survey will be done at the commencement of the Project to determine the initial condition of such
assets and infrastructure.
No survey was undertaken as the construction activity
during the reporting period was primarily stringing
works. Therefore, this mitigation requirement is not
applicable.
Not applicable.
Any damaged infrastructure will be repaired to at least the same standard and condition on
completion of the Project.
Based on observation, at this stringing phase there is
no significant road damage occurred (as shown in
Appendix 2.f)
The mitigation implemented with this
regard is compliant with its
requirements.
10. Encroachment into Protected Forests, Hunting, Wood Collection (HVTL alignments and Gunung Condong)
Hunting and extracting done by workers of forest PLN has conveyed a message in the project’s The mitigations implemented with this
Semiannual Environmental Report January – June 2018 11

on the Project areas at MoM on February, 15 2018.
Signpost prohibiting encroachment into protected forest, hunting and wood collection is posted at
Appendix 2.g.
regard are compliant with its
requirements.
11. Occupational Health and Safety (HVTL alignments, substations)
Prior to the commencement of civil works a
construction phase Occupational Health and Safety
Plan (OHSP) will be developed. The OHSP should:
identify and minimize, so far as reasonably practicable, the causes of potential hazards to
workers, including communicable diseases such as
HIV/AIDs and vector borne diseases;
provide preventive and protective measures, including modification, substitution, or elimination
of hazardous conditions, with particular attention to
live power lines, working at height, EMFs, and
exposure to chemicals;
provide measures for the management and appropriate disposal of hazardous wastes to
ensure protection of the workforce and the
prevention and control of releases and accidents;
provide for the provision of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) to minimize risks;
provide training for workers, and establish appropriate incentives to use and comply with
health and safety procedures and utilize PPE;
include procedures for documenting and reporting occupational accidents, diseases, and incidents;
and
Include emergency prevention, preparedness, and response arrangements in place.
KEC International Limited as the contractor of the power transmission lines of Package 3 has
developed an environment, health and safety (EHS)
plan. The plan is signed but not scheduled yet, and
therefore its validity is unknown as shown in Appendix 2.h.
The EHS plan provides guidance and procedures primarily for safety aspects and few for environment
aspects which area considered adequate for
implementation by the Project, including:
EHS Policy
Organization structure
Project safety committee
Organization and responsibility
Personnel protective equipment, including rules
and training for fall protection; belt inspection; and
lanyard inspection.
First aid procedures
Safety rules for store area, maintenance personal,
transmission line construction
Emergency management plan
Accident notification, reporting and investigation
General provisions for environment protection and
waste management.
KEC has implemented the EHS plan by, among others:
providing safety induction to workers and
providing incentives to workers who obey the OSH
The mitigation implemented with this

and incidents; and
Establishing emergency response procedures
including provision of first-aid kids, fire
extinguishers, and emergency call lists at
construction sites.
Relevant evident of these mitigation measures are
included in Appendix 2.h.
However, the EHS plan does not provide procedures for risk identification and minimization of
potential hazards to worker including corresponding
preventive and protective measures.
12. Community Health and Safety (HVTL alignments, substations)
Prior to the commencement of civil works, a
construction phase Community Health and Safety
Plan (CHSP) will be developed. The CHSP should
include:
procedures to identify and minimize, so far as reasonably practicable, the causes of potential
Project related hazards to local communities,
including communicable diseases such as
HIV/AIDs and vector borne diseases;
specific emergency response procedures;
emergency contacts and communication systems/ protocols;
procedures for interaction with local and regional emergency and health authorities;
emergency equipment and facilities (e.g. first aid stations, fire extinguishers/hoses, sprinkler
systems);
protocols for fire truck, ambulance and other emergency vehicle services;
evacuation routes and meeting points; and drills.
KEC International Limited (KEC) does not have a specific CHSP for the construction of power
transmission lines of Package 3, although some
elements required for it are included in the existing
EHS plan described in the OHS plan described
earlier, as follow:
establishing and providing emergency response
procedures and emergency response equipment
and facilities including provision of first-aid kids,
fire extinguishers, and emergency call lists at
construction sites.
providing emergency contact and communication
system/procedures.
providing the evacuation routes, meeting point
and drills.
providing emergency vehicles services at site
location.
Relevant evident of these mitigation measures are included in Appendix 2.i.

local and regional emergency and health authorities;
13. Employment Opportunities (HVTL alignments, substations)
The requirements defined to mitigate impacts arising from the employment opportunities are defined and
reported in the social monitoring report submitted separately from this report.
Not applicable.
14. Physical Cultural Resources (HVTL alignments, Substations)
A chance find procedure will be in place:
If physical cultural resources are encountered during the construction phase, all works at the find
site should be immediately halted.
The find should be assessed by a competent expert, and procedures to avoid, minimize or
mitigate impacts to the physical cultural resources
should be developed by the expert in cooperation
with the relevant local heritage authority,
proportionate to the value of the resource in
question and the nature and scale of the Project’s potential adverse impacts on it.
Work should not begin until the procedures to avoid, minimize or mitigate impacts to the physical
cultural resources have been implemented.
When avoidance is not feasible, no alternatives to removal exist, and the Project benefits outweigh
the anticipated cultural heritage loss from removal,
the physical cultural resource should be removed
and preserved according to the best available
technique.
Any removal should be conducted in accordance with relevant provisions of national and/or local
laws.
Records should be maintained of all finds, including chain of custody instructions for movable
finds.
All Project workers and staff should be made aware of the chance find procedure.
There have been no reports conveyed or reported by
the contractor related to physical cultural resources
within the construction site of the transmission line
within this reporting period. However, the chance find
procedure has not been developed by the Project.
The Project is not compliant with the
mitigation requirement as the chance
find procedure has not been
developed.
