1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 General
This report presents the results of an environmental scoping study carried out for the proposed ferro-
nickel mining and related processing activities for the Maba Project in Kabupaten East Halmahera
(KEH), North Maluku Province, being developed by Solway Industries. This study includes the
identification and qualitative assessment of potential project environmental risk, and the
determination the expected time-frame for the AMDAL study process, which is required for the
environmental permitting application for the proposed development. The work has been carried out
for Vector Engineering Inc by GRM, in accordance with proposal P09 VE 001, dated 4 August 2009,
as requested by Mark Steemson / Michael Strachan by email on 16 June 2009.
1.2 Scope of Work
As part of the pre-feasibility study being undertaken by Vector Engineering, a review of the scope of
work for a subsequent environmental impact study (AMDAL) is required, highlighting –
 The scope of work for the AMDAL based on the proposed project,
 The expected timeframe of the key AMDAL activities,
 Key permitting requirements for the project, and
 Critical early start activities (such as environmental monitoring).
Indonesian regulations require an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) to be approved prior to
any land development. The EIA starts with a Terms of Reference (ToR) that describes the type of
impacts expected, and hence is used to outline the scope of work to be carried out in the main
assessment.
The ToR would also identify any specific requirements, as well as provide a basis from which to
estimate the EIA schedule.
Our approach has been to effectively complete the ToR, although not quite to the level of rigour or in
the format required by Indonesian regulations. Nevertheless, our final deliverable can be easily
upgraded to meet Indonesian regulations as more information on the design of the project becomes
available
We have carried out the following specific tasks:
 Collation of limited existing documentation about the project, including the basic concepts for
the location of principal facilities of process plant, port, access road and transit camp.
 Characterisation of:
a. Existing environmental and mining regulations: these are listed and discussed where
appropriate;
b. Broad proposed mining and infrastructure areas – with current options are shown on the
attached Figures and described in Section 3;
c. The proposed process in terms of consumables and waste streams are generally described
in Section 3.2;
d. The host environment through the project area is described in Section 3.3.
3. Delineation of catchments using the Space Shuttle Radar Topographic Mapping (SRTM) data and
combine Forestry status, satellite imagery and land-use into a single dataset, as shown in the
attached Figures
2. Identification of potential project environmental risks and opportunities (preliminary impact
assessment) based on the existing information outlined above. This is provided in Section 4.1.

3. Qualitative risk assessment in order to rank issues and provide a basis for scoping of the future
EIA is provided in Section 4.2;
4. Concept methods of risk mitigation and opportunity development would be included as part of the
risk assessment are discussed in Section 5
5. Identification of critical early start activities and the expected time-frame for the AMDAL are
discussed in Section 6.

3. SITE CHARACTERISTICS AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION
3.1 Site Location
The project area is located within Kecamatan Maba (KM) in Kabupaten East Halmahera (KEH),
North Maluku Province (PNM). KEH has a land area of 6,506 km 2 and a sea area of 7,696 km 2, as
shown on Drawing 1. The Mining Concession area, commonly known as a KP (Kuasa
Pertambangan) area, is located between 0039’45” - 0046’7” North and between 12804’51” -
12806’57” East, occupying 4,839 hectare (48.4 km2) total area, as shown on Drawing 2.
3.2 Site Components
The project itself is classified as “integrated industrial”, and comprises:
1. Mining areas (multiple open pits and waste dumps);
2. Processing Facility – two options identified;
3. Infrastructure and Support Facilities:
-Maintenance and warehousing – presume as part of process plant;

- Powerplant – coal fired – locations not defined;
- Port, located approximately as shown on the Drawings;
- Base camp and offices, as part of the process plant complex or nearby, per Petrsoea drawing 590-
G-0006;
-Water supply and sewerage treatment
- Project haul and access roads
3.3 Existing Activities Adjacent in Project Area
Besides the local activities, such as farming and trading, there are other activities in KEH including:
- Legal logging by PT Nusapadma Corp in Poli or Desa lolobata, KecamatanWasile
- Nickel mining in Tanjung Buli, KecamatanMaba, owned by PT Aneka Tambang and operated by
PT Yudistira Bumi Bhakti, as a contractor company.
- PT Naltim has a KP near Maba Port.
3.4 Land Use Classification
Some areas in KEH are part of the Aketajawe-lolobata National Park, as shown on Drawing 1, and the
project area extends into both State Forest and Right Forest area, as shown on Drawing 4. The State
Forest is classified partly as Protected Forest, and partly Right Forest, which includes zones of
Production Forest, Limited Production Forest, and Conversion Production Forest. Part of the project
is on land classified for “Other purposes”.

A strategy to allow mining of the Maba KP to be permitted within a Protected Forest Area must seek
ways to convert the current forest status from protected forest to production forest. Governing
regulation concerning this approach is based on PP RI No.10/2010 concerning Procedure for
Alteration of Purpose and Functions of Forest Areas.
Altering the function of protected forest areas to production forest cannot be applied to a province
whose forest area is less than 30% of its total land area.
Section 4.2.1 provides further discussion on this aspect.
3.5 Description of Proposed Works and Activities
The key activities which may cause environmental impacts are described in the following section
according to the Operation-Production phase.
3.5.1 Pre-Mining Stage
Activities in the Pre-mining stage at the open pits comprises two mainor steps:
1. Land Clearing
Land clearing will prepare the land for the construction and mining after being legally
acquired. The clearance includes removal of vegetation, existing buildings or other
structures.
2. Mobilization of construction equipment
Construction equipment includes excavators, backhoes wheeled loaders, dump trucks,

bulldozers, graders, compactors will be shipped to the port site, off loaded, stored and
assembled, and then transferred to appropriate parts of the project site, together with all
materials and equipment required for construction of the project.
3. Recruiting Employees
Various skills and expertise will be needed. As high a proportion as possible of these
employees will be hired from the local area (Kec. Maba or Kab. Halmahera Timur).
4. Process Plant, Infrastrusture, Access Road and Power Supply Construction
Construction activities will include the building of the process plant and related
infrastructure, including access and project roads, support facilities in the mine area, labor
accommodation (base camp, workshop, health clinic and office), and power generation for
the entire project.
Other important activities in the pre-mining construction phase include:
- Perimeter drains around the pit areas to control surface water flow.
- Diversions of any small rivers which intersect the mining area.
- Small dams and pumping systems for sediment collection.

09 VE 001 - 10 - Environmental scoping and assessment
3.5.2 Operation-Production Stage
The project operational and production activities will include:
1. Overburden and Top Soil Management
Top soil management comprises stripping, stockpiling and backfilling mined out areas. Top
soil, containing organic matter and near-surface iron-rich lateritic soil, will be stripped by
hydraulic excavator, and pushed by bulldozer to collection points, where it will be loaded on
dump trucks, then transferred to the waste dumpsAfter top soil stripping, excavation of the
underlying limonite overburden is carried out in the same way. The stripping and
excavation process will be executed by forming benches excavated to comply with mining
regulations. Waste overburden will be placed in the waste dumps, paying attention to
reclamation objectives and erosion control.
We recommend that consideration be given to salvaging and separately stockpiling topsoil
and the upper part of the soil profile to provide a growth medium for revegetation. This is
the practice at other lateritic nickel mines in Indonesia.
2. Mining Works
Laterite ore mining takes place after overburden removal by benched excavation into
limonite and saprolite overlying bedrock. It is possible that blasting will be required to mine
benches in the bedrock. Ore will be hauled by dump truck from the mining area to the stock
pile area, next to a screening and crushing station.
Figure 1. Soil Layers Excavated by Open Pit Mining
3. Ferro-nickel Processing
Nickel ore processing requires support facilities, including powerplant, office buildings,
water supply and wastewater treatment plant. The ore treatment involves a sequence of
several unit processes, using pyrometallurgy, to produce the ferro-nickel product. The
process comprises:
a. Screening and Crushing
Screening is used to remove very large rock fragments, and crushing reduces the size of
coarse ore fragments to a maximum size of 30 mm.
b. Drying

Drying is needed to reducing the moisture content in the raw ore from 30-35% to a
required 23%, using a rotary dryer. The drying process uses hot gases generated from
Hot Air Generators (HAG) at 200⁰C at operating temperature burning pulverized coal.
c. Calcining
Calcining is used to remove crystalline water in the ore in a rotary kiln operating at a
temperature of 850⁰C, using pulverized coal, and resulting in Calcined ore with 2%
moisture content.
d. Smelting
Smelting is a fusion process in an electric furnace at a temperature of 1650⁰C. Calcined
ore will be reduced using anthracite coal.
e. Refining
De-sulphurization is used to remove or mitigate the sulphur content in the Fe-Ni product,
and occurs in a ladle furnace, using soda ash and carbide as reagents.
In addition, further refining uses a converter to remove impurities including Si, P, Cr, C.
Miscellaneous other project activities will occur during operations:
4. Operation of vehicles and heavy equipment
A variety of light and heavy vehicles are required to service and run the mining operations,
ranging from dozers, hydraulic shovels, backhoes and dump trucks, supported by light
vehicles, maintenance and fuel supply trucks.
5. Workforce
A substantial workforce will be engaged and trained for the operation and production stage
for mining, process plant operation and related infrastructure. It is anticipated that the
company will accommodate the workforce in a base camp, with various tenure and contract
periods.
6. Infrastructure (Base camp, port and offices and powerplant)
Supporting infrastructure during the production phase will include a base camp,
administrative offices, a maintenance workshop, connecting access and haulage roads, and
port and powerplant. All of these activities will generate solid waste (trash) and liquid waste
(oil and wastewater). Port facility is provided for loading and unloading ships of FeNi
product and coal fuel. However, the most serious concern in those infrastructure and support
facilities components is about operational of powerplant. It is not clear where the
powerplant will be located, but we would guess that it will be located close to the port,
minimizing coal handling.
The powerplant with 300mW is the energy resource for processing nickel ore to FeNi and it
will be generated by coal fuel. Kind aproximately of components facility in powerplant is
comprising ;
- Generator – turbine
- Water treatment control
- Electricity and coal control
- Substation control
- Stack and coal stockpile
- Workshop and warehouse
Other potential impacts include ground water usage and social interaction.

3.5.3 Post-Operation Stage
In the post operation stage, the main activities will be the completion of backfilling into mined
out areas, followed by re-vegetation in order to close the mine in compliance with all
requirement and provisions as stated in the applicable regulations.
1. Backfilling
The backfilling process carried out during mining operations, that progressively reclaims
completed pits using overburden and topsoil, will continue into the post-operations phase
until all open pits have been reclaimed.
2. Re-vegetation
Re-vegetation will be carried out in each completed mining area by planting the kinds of
local trees which grow quickly, enhancing soil quality, and controlling erosion. The
presence of vegetation will also create new habitat for wildlife. Eventually a diverse and
balanced ecosystem can be restored. Advantage should be taken of the experiences of other
nickel mines in the region, such as at PT INCO at Soroako, Sulwesi in order to understand
and apply successful procedures.
3.6 Environmental Description

3.6.1 Physical and Chemical
1. Physiography
a) Climate
The climate in KEH and in North Maluku Province is tropical. Based on the Schmid
and Ferguson System, the average number of dry months and wet months are
compared, assuming that wet months exceed 100mm rainfall and dry months have less
than 60mm rainfall. Thus, KEH has an average of 2,2 dry months and 8,8 wet months,
resulting in a Q value ( Q average = Dry months/wet months X 100%) of 21,59 and
classification as a Wet Climate (Yusuf B, 2008). Available rainfall data for KEH are
given in Table 1.
Table 1. Rainfall Data at KEH

NotNote : CH = Curah Hujan (Rainfall, mm) HH = Hari Hujan (Number of Rainy day per month)
b) TopographyThe topography of the KEH varies from hilly and undulating to steep
mountainous, with slopes ranging from 0% to 40%. The beach at Kec. Maba, between
Lili Bay in the east to nearby Tj. Makali slopes between 2 – 15%. Almost all beaches
at Desa Buli have 0-2% slope. The slopes in the mining area are moderately steep and
rugged, dissected by relatively small drainages flowing north and east into the Sangaji
River catchment. The topographic elevation in the mining area ranges from about
500m above sea level to about 800m, based on inspection of Drawing 2.
c) Geological
The overall geology of the project area is shown on Drawing number 5. The mine area
is underlain by ultrabasic rock, with a nickel-rich lateritic residual soil cover; the
development corridor between the mine and the coast crosses limestone, and closer to
coast is on alluvium and coastal deposits of clay, silt, sand and gravel.
The predominant soil types across KEH are the Red Yellow Podsolik and the Complex
soil, which is the heterogeneous mixture of different soils. The areas of each are shown
in Table 2
Table 2. Type of Soil in KEH.
No. Type of soil Area (hectare)
1. Latosol Alluvial 0
2. Podsol 35,337
3. Red Yellow as Brown Podsol 114,772
4. Grey 39,674
5. Complex Soil 104,85
Source : Field data (Yusuf B, 2008)
The soil types are described as follows:

 Alluvial soils are found is located in the flat area and formed by river
sedimentation, as shown on Drawing 4. There is coastal alluvium, usually fertile,
and valley alluvium in rural in-land areas, supporting various crops .
 Red yellow and brown grey podsol soils, derived from deep weathering of
methmorphic rock is found extensively in the hilly and mountainous terrain of
Kecamatan South Maba.
 Complex soils comprising several kind soil types are found in the forested centre
of the island.

2. Land Use and Spatial Planning
In addition to National Park in Aketajawe-Kab.East Halmahera Lolobata, there are some

areas of forest designated protected forest, production forest, limited production forest and
conversion of production forest, as shown on Drawing 4. Based on data from the Forestry
Thematic Map at www.dephut.go.id and North Maluku Forestry Statistic (2005) , the
Forest Management Rights (HPH) in the production of forest products in KEH are owned
by:
- PT Nusapadma Corp.(SK : 464/kpts-II/89) with 46,000 hectarearea
(SK : 331/kpts-II/99) with 55,770 hectare area
- PT Tunggal Agathis IWI (SK : 817/kpts-II/92) with 160,000 hectare area
- PT Jayanti Intim (SK : 309/kpts-IV/86) with 70,000 hectare area
- PT Wana Kencana Sejati Unit II (552.21/Kep/38.a/2002) with 38,395 hectare area
The Industrial Plantation Forest (HTI) is mandated to increase the potential and quality of
production forest. PT Kirana Cakrawala (SK: 184/kpts-II/97) own the management rights
for 21,265 hectares, of which 10,250 hectares are planted with Beechwood or Garham
Gmelina Arborea. (Forestry Information Data of Maluku Province, 2002).
The Site Location Map with Forest Status on Drawing 4 shows that the KP area is located in
protected forest area and that roads to the port would cross the Production Forests and
Conversion Production Forest area.
3. Air Quality and Noise
The KP area and adjacent are dominantly as forestry which rather faraway from local
resident but the port and powerplant location will be near of the town of Maba. Therefore
Noise and air quality may be affected by some impact of the project activites in all stages.
Dust and particulate matters will be the dominant contributors affecting ambient air quality,
instead of CO, NO2, SO2 ,O3, Hydrocarbon and Lead.
The guideline values for air quality parameters are provided in PP RI No.41 Tahun 1999 and
for noise in Kep.MenLH no.48 Tahun 1996.
4. Hydrology
The mine area appears to drain mainly into a single watershed in KEH , that drains north and
then southeast into the river locally called AKE Sangaji, which has an average flow
estimated at between 6,000 to 7,000 liters per second, (www.halmaheraexotic.blogspot.com)
and discharges into the Bay of Buli.
The distance of the mining concession from the coastline is about 14.4 km from the Bay of
Buli, approximately 18 km from the town of Maba.
3.6.2 Biology
The biological components in the nickel mining development areas are divided into flora and
fauna in terrestrial and aquatic environments.
1. Terrestrial
The presence of terrestrial flora and fauna around the proposed mining location is expected
to be similar to that found in Aketajawe-lolobata National Park, located to the northwest of
the project area. Based on information at www.natureindonesia.org the terrestrial flora
within Aketajawe-lolobata National Park are predominantly forest vegetation of shrubs
which include Damar (Agathis sp), Bintangur (Callophylum inophyllum), Canary

(Canarium mehenbethene gaerta), Matoa (Pometia pinnata) and Kayubugis

(Koordersiodendron pinnatum). The Halmahera region generally is classified as tropical
rain forest in the lowland and mountains, while the KP area is located within protected forest
area. Terrestrial fauna will include mammalian species such as Golden cat (Phallanger sp),
wild pig (Sus scrofa) and the Timor deer (Cervus timorensis Mollucencis). Neither of bird
species such as wallace’s standarwing (Semioptera wallacei) and white cockatoo (Cacatua
alba). Other species are invisible rail (Habroptila wallacii), blue and white kingfisher
(Halcyon diops), halmahera cuckoo-shrike (Coracina parvula), dusky-brown oriole
(Oriolus phaeochromus), moluccan goshawk (Accipiter henicogrammus). As for reptile and
amphiby species such as ; Frog (Callulops dubia, Caphixalus montanus); reptil such as
monitor (Hydrosaurus werneri), and monitor lizard (Varanus sp.).
2. Aquatic
Aquatic flora and fauna can be classified into aquatic biota and fish (necton) as well as sea
grass and coral on the sea coast. We have not identified specific information that describes
biological conditions in this region. Further research will likely allow compilation of this
information as part of baseline studies for the EIS. These studies will characterize the
various aquatic biota of plankton and benthos, and also fish, reefs and algae.
3.6.3 Social-Economic and Culture

1. Population
Based on www.Regionalinvestment.com , the population in KEH in 2006 was about 62,000
persons, with an average population density of about 9.57 persons per Km2.
Native people live in Buli, in 5 villages: Buli Asal, Buli Karya, Buli Sarana, Soa Laipoh and
Soa Sangaji. (Yusuf B, 2008). The town of Maba is a centre administration town for KM.
and is the nearest population centre, approximately 18 km from the mine area.
Based on www.pewarta-indonesia.com, there is also a primitive tribe, called the Togutil
Tribe, living in Baborino, Buli, KEH . This tribe lives as an isolated community, dependent
on the surrounding natural forest.
Figure 3. People of Togutil Tribe

2. Economic Aspect
Farming and fishing have become the major livelihoods for people in KEH , where
approximately 76% of householders are working. The staple food of the residents is sago.
Other commodities grown in the area are cocoa, coconut, coffee and cloves.
The Domestic Regional Product Bruto (PDRB) in 2006 based on current price by industrial
origin was Rp 236 milion and based on constant price by industrial origin is 186,5 milion.
3. Social-Culture Aspect

Social problems that require attention from the Government of East Halmahera Regency is
interfaith social integration of, local residents with a migrant population, income disparities,
education and training inadequacies, and limited employment opportunities. The quality of
human resources in East Halmahera District (from the level of education) is less satisfactory.
Most of the population have primary education with elementary grade (graduate or not
graduate). There are also citizens or young people who study at schools outside the area, but
after successfully reaching higher educational levels seldom return to the region. The
majority of the available workforce is not expected to have the skills required for the project
(Yusuf B, 2008).
4. Infrastructure
According to the previous study by Yusuf B, in 2008 that nature of of existing infrastructure
in KEH can be summarised as :
- There are water treatment plants at Subaim and Buli towns, but most people in KEH still
obtain their potable water from wells and springs. The average flow capacity obtained
from springs is of the order of 5 liter/second.
- There are 13 power generation plants in Kec. Wasile, Kec. South Maba and Kec. Maba.
The domestic rate of electricity demand is 241MWh/month with 2.1 MW total installed
power. However, there are still many villages without power.
- Telecomunication infrastructure consists of mail service and telephone. There is onemail
service facility in Kec. Wasile and phone coverage has limited range.
- The Regional road connecting Subaim,Buli and Maba, which is part of the Trans
Halmahera Highway is in poor condition. Other local roads connecting small towns in the
project are also mostly in poor condition as well.
5. Sea and Air Transportation
Based on previous study by Yusuf B,in 2008 as well that existing sea and air transportation
can be described as ;
- Existing ports, categorized as regional ports for KEH, are located at Buli and Subaim.
These are relatively small and simple facilities consisting only of a jetty, without any
support facilities. The types of sea transportation available include speed boats used for
passenger transport, and logging boats of various size, used also for general cargo..
- There is one small airport located in Buli town with commercial airfield status. Flights
operate between Ternate and Buli 3 to 4 times a week. The airstrip can accommodate only
small aircraft with 30 to 40 passangers capacity. In 2004, the average passenger load per
month was about 439 persons.
4. ENVIRONMENTAL SCOPING
The environmental scoping assessment identifies environmental impacts, and assesses their
significance according to applicable regulations. This takes into account the engineering study and
mitigation for some critical cases, determining the priority of concerns.

4.2 Approach to Evaluation of Potential Impact
The potential environmental impacts, which have been identified through the scoping process,
are based on valid regulation as Kep-056 Tahun 1994 Tentang Pedoman Mengenai Ukuran
Dampak Penting. Thus, the environmental risk potential can be determined as rank - in order.
Further description is performed the flowchart of impact-activity (Figure 7.) which those
potential impact can be classified as primary and secondary impact.
The primary impact is the environmental potential impact that occur as instantly caused by
activity and the secondary impact which occur as scondary effect of that primary impact.
The ranking of environmental risk potential itself has been developed based upon preliminary
review of environmental legal aspects of the proposed project activities, as discussed in this
section. Recommended approaches for study and evaluation of environmental and social
impacts are presented herein.
4.2.1 Forestry Status
Drawing 4. shows the site location in relation to zoning of forest Status. The Mining
Concession (KP) area is almost entirely located within Protected Forest area. This issue
requires careful consideration.
Kep. Ka Bapedal No: Kep-056 tahun 1994, Guidelines Regarding the Measurement of
Significant Impact, states that every business plan and / or activity that will be built
within protected areas is considered to be a significant impact. . PP RI No.41 tahun
1999notes that forest areas includes the basic functions of protecting ecosystems and
watersheds, suppressing flooding, controlling erosion, and maintaining soil fertilityI
UU No.41 tahun 1999 prohibits open pit mining in protected forest areas. Perpu No.1
tahun 2004, concerning amendments of UU No.41 tahun 1999 ( Forestry), and Also
Kep.Pres No. 41 tahun 2004 ( Licencing or Agreements In the Mining Sector in the
Forest Area), states that only 13 mining licences or agreements in protected forest areas
can still continue their activities because those licencing or agreements existed prior to
the issuance of UU no.41 tahun 1999. However, this Maba concession is not included in
those 13 licenses or agreements which are allowed to continue carrying out mining
activities in protected forest area.
Thus, the only legal solution is to try to alter the forest status from Protected Forest to
Production Forest) before applying for a Izin Pinjam Pakai. The alteration of forest
function and/or status itself has been addressed in PP RI No.10/2010 concerning
Procedure for Alteration of Purpose and Functions of Forest Areas 1). This regulation sets
out a process and criteria that must be considered. These criteria include:
 Unconformance criteria as forest protected area according to legislation regarding
covertable to be forest production.
 Conformance criteria as forest conversion and/or forest production area according to
legislation.
However the Protected Forest criteria is refer to Kep.Pres No.32/1990 concerning
Management of Protected Area2) and criteria for Production Forest is refer to SK
MENTAN No.683/Kpts/Um/8/19813).
As refer to some similar examples that the reason to support the decission of alteration
forest function is kind of :

1. KEPMENHUT No. SK.475/Menhut-II/2005 concerning alteration function of

partially Protected Forest area in Ujung Krawang, West Java becomes Permanent
Production Forest area.
The reason : That Protected Forest area has been occupied by local people and
explored become rice field, residential, fishpond, garden and some
others such as mangrove forest where sporadicly spread out.
2. KEPMENHUT No.757/kpts-II/1991 concerning alteration function of partially
Protected Forest area and Limited Forest area in groups of forest Sihapus, Doloka
Lastanga and adjacent in North Sumatera become Permanent Forest Production area.
The reason : That Protected Forest area has a flat topographic as highland where is
technicly enable to alter its function become Permanent Production
Forest area.
Particular care and effort will be required to coordinate the application for alteration of
purpose, involving close comunication with the provincial Bupati, Governor and
DPR/DPRD to convince them, and build support for the project. The application must
be supported by comprehensive information concerning the existing condition of the
Protected Forest in KP area, design measures and management and mitigation actions,
using the best proven technology and technical method, that will achieve adequate
safety factors for environmental preservation.The figure below illustrates the process,
which requires initial use of the criteria to assess the quality of the forest area. This
information will be used to obtain a preliminary opinion as to whether or not a study
team needs to be appointed to consider the request.

We recommend that information be compiled in support of a preliminary application and

opinion. This information should include:

 Slope of the affected mining areas

 Elevation range
 Climate, if data is available at the proposed mine site
 Other criteria, which may enhance understanding of the specific mining area compared
to surrounding protected forest.
The proposal for alteration of forest function and purpose must have been discussed and
accepted by regional goverment then it will be included to PERDA Kabupaten Design
regarding Kabupaten Spatial Planning (RTRW Kabupaten) and PERDA Province Design
regarding Provincial Spatial Planning (RTRW Province). Therefore must be ensured to match
the spatial planning at Kabupaten and Province.
Thus, As refer to PERMENHUT No. P.28/Menhut-II/2009 that PERDA Province design
regarding Provincial Spatial Planning will be studied as technicly by Team Study which has
been assembled by Director General of Forestry Planology that could take account for 75 days
of work.
Thence, the integrated team which being assembled by minister will continue to re-study and
research that will take account for 90 days of work and proceeded with Forestry Policy
Consistency Test by the Minister that will take account for 30 days of work.
Afterward, those study research and consistency test will be applied by minister to DPR-RI to
get legitimate or rejection. The time span required to get final decission will take account for 28
days of work.
Until finally, the governor with Regional DPR Province (DPRD) will implement to adjust about
PERDA Province Design regarding Provincial Spatial Planning and minister will issue the
legally decission of alteration of forest function and purpose.

4.2.2 Primary Impact

1. Work and business opportunities

Positive impact arises from any work and related employment from the project
activities, which leads to secondary work and business opportunities. However, the
opportunities themselves should manage and accommodate the local people’s
expectations and avoid undue social jealousy. Thus, the mobilization and recruitment
of employees should be directed towards local residents who mostly can be expected
to work as laborers and in other lower ranking clerical and unskilled jobs such as
unloading material from trucks and road cleaning. This reflects that most local
residents have relatively low levels of education. In addition, other opportunities for
business development which involve the local residents will include restaurants,
providing lodging for workers, grocery stores and transportation. Other forms of
business opportunities will include distribution and supply of construction materials
and equipment, and mining and processing support and maintenance services.
Action for environmental assessment:
It is recommended that a social-economic survey, including interviews with
potentially affected local residents, including community leaders, be carried out in a
well managed and transparent manner, as part of the workforce recruitment process.
2. Hydrology
The potential impact of the proposed project on regional hydrology includes the
interruption or alteration of surface water flows, such as ponding, diversion, and
flooding. The project KP area, processing facility, infrastructure support facilities,
access and hauling roads are located in the River Sangaji Watershed, which flows to
the sea at Buli Bay. That watershed area includes some significant tributaries.
Available data comprising hydrological and meteorological maps, hydrological survey
reports, and meteorological data such as average annual and monthly rainfall should
be acquired, compiled and analysed to derive suitable parameters for prediction of
flows across the project areas. This information will be used for both engineering and
environmental assessment. If not already established, weather recording stations
should be installed at representative locations in or near the mine area and also at the
port site.
3. Biological Component - Terrestrial Flora

Land clearing activity in the mining area will affect an area of up to 4,839 hectares, if
the full KP were to be cleared, with almost the entire area currently classified as
protected forest. The loss of vegetation is likely to cause impacts such as habitat
disturbance, micro- climate change, and other disruptions of the environment
including soil damage and loss through erosion. Measures for re-habilitation and
reclamation should include backfilling with overburden and topsoil of completed
mined out pits, re-contouring to control and retard runoff and erosion, and re-
vegetation. These measures should be implemented progressively during the life of
the mine as areas are mined out. The same applies to complete waste overburden
piles. A comprehensive reclamation plan is required to mitigate disturbance.
Reclamation needs to facilitate the recovery of flora and fauna, and also can reduce
air, water and soil pollution, restoring a sustainable environment. Mine closure
reclamation is regulated according to:

- UU No.11 tahun 1967 tentang Ketentuan-ketentuan pokok pertambangan with all

its revision in PP RI No.75/2001.
- KEPMENTAMBEN No.1211.K/008/M.PE/1995 tentang Pencegahan dan
penanggulangan perusakan lingkungan pada kegiatan usaha pertambangan
umum.
- Kep.Dirjen PU no.336 tahun 1996 tentang Jaminan Reklamasi
Which the regulation of its permition is based on ;
- KEPMEN ESDM No.1453.K/29/MEM/2000 tentang Pedoman teknis
penyelenggaraan tugas pemerintah dibidang pertambangan umunm.
- Kep.MENHUT dan Perkebunan No.146/Kpts-II/1999 tentang Pedoman reklamasi
bekas tambang dalam kawasan hutan.
The following actions are recommended :
- Acquire and compile relevant data and information such as protected forest area
mapping and studies of flora and fauna,
- Field visual observation and mapping to verify conditions across the project areas.
- Research best practices at other lateritic nickel mines within Indonesia, and initiate
field trials using local species.
4. Surface Water quality

Significant contamination of surface water may be distinguished as ;
Mining and processing nickel ore
Soil erosion and sediment transport from mining areas may brought suspended solids,
together with chemical substances such as organic compound, metals like iron,
manganese, zinc, cadmium etc can be expected to adversely aquatic life.
Water from the processing of ferro-nickel may be discharged into water bodies, which
must be monitored and treated. Control of the wastewater from nickel ore processing
is determined in PERMENLH No.9 tahun 2006 concerning wastewater quality
standards for nickel ore mining bussines plans and/ or activities.
Powerplant operational
The wastewater of powerplant operational could be caused by leachate from coal
stockpile and others source activites such as laboratorium, FGD system, cooling
system and domestic.
Control of wastewater from powerplant activities is determined in PERMENLH
No.8/2009 concerning Wastewater quality standard for thermal powerplant business
and/or activities.
Operation of vehicles and heavy equipments
Due to operational of vehicles and heavy equipment during pre mining and operation-
production stage that will generate liquid waste as oil spill. That oil spill could be
flew as a run off or stream to water bodies.
Base camp and others domestic sources

At the base camp domestic wastewater could be a significant source of stream

contamination. This aspect is regulated by KEPMLH No.112 tahun 2003 tentang
Baku Mutu Air Limbah Domestik. Domestic wastewater from bathrooms, kitchens
and laundries, and the oil and grease from food and detergent usage are the main
domestic sources of concern.
The regulation of surface water condition is based on PP RI No.82 Tahun 2001
Tentang Pengelolaan Kualitas Air dan Pengendalian Pencemaran Air, and for
wastewater from nickel mining industrial is ruled under Permen LH No.9 Tahun 2006
Tentang Baku Mutu Air Limbah Bagi usaha dan/atau Kegiatan Pertambangan Bijih
Nikel.
Recommended actions include surface water sampling with a minimum of 4 locations
and using water quality guidelines in PP RI No.82 Tahun 2001 or any other regional
goverment regulation applicable to the stream location (the river points where located
in the project area, including upstream, middle and downstream segments).
Additional downstream sampling points are recommended in the nearby estuary, and
other selected tributary junctions. The recommended sampling locations are shown in
Figure 8.
Sampling should be executed during the dry season when flow rates in the rivers tend
to be small such that dilution is lowest.
5. Slope Instability
Slope instability may result from land clearing, top soil stripping, overburden
removal and dumping, and ore mining. The impacts of slope instablity include erosion
and sedimentation, and risk to mean and equipment. The topographic condition at the
proposed mining area includes hilly undulations and steeper mountainous terrain,
with slopes varying between 0% and 40%. The activities of land clearing and
soil stripping, will involve cutting into hillsides and deforestation. This may
cause landslides during periods of heavy rainfall. Geological weaknesses may
be present in then lateritic soil profile to be mined and these need to be
investigated. Waste overburden limonite and saprolite soils typically have a
high moisture content and is often significantly weakened by excavation.
Flow sliding of waste dumps on gentle slopes is to be expected. Therefore,
appropriate containment will need to be constructed. Re-contouring and re-
vegetation as quickly as practical will both promote stability and control
erosion and sediment generation.
Recommended actions include acquisition of available data such as regional land use
map, regional topographic maps, supplemented with site-specific geotechnical
surveys and analyses for each area of mining and infrastructure development.
6. Sea Water Quality and Coastal condition

Port and powerplant construction and operational activities, including loading of
ferro-nickel product and unloading coal materials is likely to be a significant source
of contamination of sea water, affecting the coastal ecosystem.

Both the construction and operational activities in the port and powerplant area,
involving a significant workforce, will result in significant generation of garbage and
other solid and wet waste.
Mining and construction or operational infrastructure activity may result in increased
suspended solids in river flows discharging into the sea, impacting on coral reefs and
the general coastal ecosystem.
However, the powerplant operation might have cooling system and Flue Gas
Desulphurization (FGD) system which this condition will lead more consumption
clean water. That clean water requirement could be from sea water with desalination
method in water treatment plant. So does its enable to caused the increasing of sea
water temperature at the outlet channel as well as the wastewater discharge into sea
water.
Recommended Actions include:
- Sea Water Quality Sampling and analysis, complying with the guideline based on
Kep.MenLH no.51 Tahun 2004 Tentang Baku Mutu Air Laut;
- Observation and inventory of existing coral reefs as well as execute the hydro-
oceanographic analysis.
- Aquatic biota sampling and visual observation of fish;
Timing for sampling is flexible, and can be integrated with others sampling
activities.
7. Air Quality
The expected main potential contributions to decreasing air quality are from :
- Vehicles and heavy equipment operational due to some project activities in mining
works, transportation material (ore nickel and coal) and project construction.
- Dust increasing due to ;
 Mining and pre mining works such as top soil stripping, overburden removal,
excavation of ores.
 Transportation through hauling road.
 Powerplant operation from coal stockpile then coal transfer by belt conveyor.
- Combustion process when calcining and smelting at ferro-nickel processing and
generator of powerplant by coal fuel.
Disturbance of relatively large areas of ground in the mine, and the transport of soil
(as overburden and mineral material) on the tires of heavy vehicles is expected to
generate dust. The vehicles and heavy equipment themselves will produce emissions
such as Nox, Sulphur dioxide (SO2), Hydrocarbon (HC) and Carbon monoxide (CO).
The nickel ore processing using Pyrometallurgy involves using a very high heat. The
heat comes from coal-fueled furnace (coke) which also acts as a reductor. The
planned process temperature may exceed one thousand degrees Celcius. The
expected impacts from the combustion exhaust gases include sulfur dioxide (SO2)
and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and particulates.
So does the powerplant process that using coal fuel and it will caused a ir emission
and particulate which discharged through stack.

The applicable regulation for air quality control is PP RI No.41 Tahun 1999 Tentang
Pengendalian Pencemaran Udara.
- The recommended action for ambient air quality sampling is based on PP RI
No.41 Tahun 1999 that requires sampling at:
 The planned location for mining, ore processing, the support facilities
especially powerplant, and all waste disposal and containment facilities.
 The nearest residential area in adjacent the mining project location.
It is estimated that a minimum of four sampling points will be required, as
shown on Figure 5.
-The number of vehicles and heavy equipment involved in mining must be
inventoried in order to estimate emissions. Similarly, the emissions expected from
both processing and power generation must be estimated and their dispersion
modelled and assessed.
Sampling can be executed in the dry season, when soil conditions are dry, and
windblown particulates are at their highest concentrations.
8. Solid Waste as Trash

Domestic solid waste in the form of trash or garbage will be generated from the
basecamp and in general from operational activities. Mining area construction and all
facilities as concern will involve a significant increase in the population density in the
project area, increasing domestic solid waste around the project site and the adjacent
water ways. This will continue during the operational phase of mining, processing and
shipment.
Project planning should include waste management plans to ensure that contractors
and employees adhere to procedures for collection and disposal that follow good
practice and minimise related impacts on the environment.
9. Ground Water
Adverse impacts on ground water quality and quantity may occur. Potential impacts
on groundwater quality may be caused by discharge from sanitation systems at the
base camp and administration offices. The overall increase of the population in the
project area will likely result in increasing consumption of ground water.
It is also possible that mining, which removes much or all of the overburden soils
above bedrock, will alter the groundwater system significantly during and after
mining and reclamation. These effects need to be investigated and characterized.
Recommended actions include:
- Ground Water Quality Sampling using existing wells, if available, and/or
installation of new wells at selected locations across the project area;
- Assessment of likely impacts on groundwater of project activities, assuming that
domestic waste water will be treated to modern standards.
10. Road and infrastructure

District-level roads in the Subaim-Buli –Maba area may be used for traffic related to
the project. No useful data for traffic has been found for these roads. Project-related
vehicles can be expected to have larger loads than the maximum allowable load for
the existing local and regional roads. This condition will continue into the operational
phase with the routine transport of process consumables and coal from the port.
These impacts may be overcome by continual maintenance and/or upgrading of the
existing roads, or by construction of new roads dedicated to the project.
Any new project roads are likely to be constructed using available granular materials,
and would not likely be surfaced with concrete or asphalt. The dedicated project
roads would be constructed to meet the needs of the project only.
A potential positive impact of the project would be considered if new access roads
built for the project also provide improved public accessibility for other non-mine
relted development. Detailed traffic management plans will be needed to ensure
safety and efficiency.
The recommended action is for observation and recording of existing road conditions,
including traffic counting. This information will provide a baseline for project
planning that can be used to assess feasibility of using existing roads and/or the
requirement for separate new project specific ones.
11. Noisy
The mine activities that cause increased noise impact are derived from vehicles and
heavy equipment, as used in mining, from the processing ferro-nickel facility, and
from general infrastructure facilities, both during construction and operations.
All noise sources of these activities are emitted by engines, generators and processing
machinery. Appropriate maintenance of all machinery will minimise noise emissions.
On average people can hear frequencies between 20 and 20,000Hz, with the unit
noise intensity level expressed in decibel dB(A). Based on Kep-48/MENLH/11/1996
Tentang Baku Tingkat Kebisingan, there are limits set for acceptable noise level
according to the existing activity and designation of the area. For residential areas, the
maximum noise level is 55 dB(A), for green open space is 50 dB(A) and for industrial
areas is 70 dB(A).
Higher noise levels may be experienced by employees in industrial areas. The relation
between noise level and allowable time exposure of the employee is determined in
KEPMENAKER No.51 Tahun 1999, which is the maximum noise level of about 85
dB(A) with an allowable exposure of 8 hours.
The correlation between the noise level and the emitting vehicles determines the safe
distance between the construction or mining activity and any residences.
The recommended action to assess noise impacts requires measurement based on
Kep-48/MENLH/11/1996 at the following locations:
- The planned locations for mining, ore processing, infrastructure and waste disposal
facilities.
- The nearest residential areas to the mining project location.

The vehicles and all equipment used on the project need to be assessed for noise
emission. The time and locations for sampling can be flexible, and may be integrated
with ambient air quality sampling.
4.2.3 Secondary Impacts

1. Biological components of terrestrial and aquatic flora and fauna
Most parts of KEH, and the KP area, are forested, so that any land clearing activity
will disrupt the regional ecosystem.
The loss of vegetation can cause disturbance of the habitat of animals living in the
ecosystem. Some types of wildlife such as birds, terrestrial mammals and reptiles will
move away from that location.
Careful observation is required to determine if there are any unique and protected
animals, and to observe population dynamics.
A similar approach may be required to assess aquatic biota and coral reef conditions
The recommended action is:
- Visual observation of existing regional animals (including fish)
- Sampling aquatic biota such as plankton and benthos
- Study of population dynamics for selected animals
Aquatic biota sampling and fish observation can be executed integrally with surface
water sampling programs.
2. Public Health
Potential negative impacts on public health during the operation-production phase
include certain occupational diseases, increased risk of occupational accidents,
transmitted diseases, and environmentally caused diseases.
Health interruption is caused by sanitation problems due to improperly designed or
operated sanitation systems. Other negative secondary impacts result from physical-
chemical environmental components such as poor ambient air quality and noise
levels. Other diseases will occur due to human contact increasing as the population of
employees increases. Other diseases such as malaria will be affected by its presence
in incoming employees and by site conditions such as ponded water. Accident
frequency will relate to increasing traffic, and the level of training and enforcement of
safety procedures.
The recommended actions are:
- Public health survey and interview of adjacent local residents
- Inventory of any existing medical services in the project region, including
hospitals and any kind of small clinic.
A health and safety policy and plan should be developed, with related supporting
management plans.

3. Public Interest and Perception

There will be various perceptions amongst the public concerning the proposed
project activity, and related socio-economic effects on society in KEH, particularly in
the KM . Despite positive perceptions about increased employment and business in
the communities around the project, it is important to understand any negative
perceptions. The existing society in the project area is based predominantly on
livelihoods as fishermen and farmers and also with consideration likely of Togutil
tribe presence, where the availability of natural resources and land use is critically
important. The proposed mining project would convert forestry land area affecting
the livelihoods of local people. Considering the background conditions of the
surrounding public with their relatively lower levels of education, this will make it
difficult for them to compete with immigrants from elsewhere in Indonesia in
obtaining employment then , causing social jealousy.
Thus, the company should take into consideration the condition of the surrounding
communities, and establish social networks, and support training and capacity-
building community development programs.
- Recommended action will be a social-economic and cultural survey and interviews
among adjacent local residents, including community leaders, in preparation for
transparent recruitment.
- Comprehensive study to local people especially the Togutil tribe which is proposed
to accomodate their requirement for preparing CSR planning and strategy.

5. IMPACT MITIGATION, MANAGEMENT AND MONITORING CONCEPTS

Technical design of impact mitigations and management concepts should be supported and
explained through specific scientific and engineering studies to strengthen arguments in favour
of obtaining environmental permission.
Technical design mitigation concepts are referenced in KEPMENTAMBEN No.
112.k/008/M.PE/1995 tentang Pencegahan dan penanggulangan perusakan dan pencemaran
lingkungan pada kegiatan usaha pertambangan umum.
5.1 Land Clearing

Deforestation will be occured in land clearing process as well as altering landscape nature.
Water ponding and animal habitats will extreemly interupt. The mitigation action can be taken
as built detour for run off tracking flow to the stream water. Otherwise, mitigation can be
applied for flora and fauna in that time. Thus the positive action is proposed for providing
rehabilitation plan by re-vegetation since pre mining.
5.2 Mobilization of Vehicles and Heavy Equipments as Well as Transportation Material
Mobilization vehicles and heavy equipments will be commenced since preparation for project
due to transportation requirement for any activities in all project stages. The impact will be as
air quality and noise with caused by engine machines and also soil and coal loading which
easily fly as a dust. Another impact that could be as oil spill which enable flow to stream water
together with run off then will contaminated surface water. Thus the mitigation will be required
as ;
- Workshops for vehicles and heavy equipments, which it is expected will use oil traps, and
re-cycle wash water;
- Providing water truck to watered road;
- Restriction on vehicles speed in order to prevent occuring dust fly by the road;
- Routine maintenance of vehicles and heavy equipment in order to prevent unacceptably high
emission levels;
- Adjustment vehicles movement when passing through the town in order to prevent traffic
problem;
5.3 Workforce
5.4 Construction
Beside the construction for processing plant and mining area, the other construction is for
infrastructure as access road and support facilities as basecamp, powerplant and port.
Considering that this kind activity will take place in large area (mining concession until the
Maba town and coastline) thus, the impacts will be as large to influence. Most of the impact is
tend to engage the transportation and some particularly work in construction, such as the
presence of batching plant. However, the most concern of construction activity will be occured
in coastal are due to port and powerplant construction.
Thus the action will be taken could be as ;
- Providing wastewater treatment system from truck washing process in batching plant and
dicipline the worker behaviour to wash the truck in availble cartain facility;
- Best practices for civil construction control of dust and sediment;

- Using dredger with apropriate specification in order to reduce the turbidity impact and have
dredging permit certification by Environmental Ministry;
- Preparation for coastal rehabilitation;
5.5 Top soil, Overburden and Mining works

Most type of work in top soil and overburden management and also mining works is about land
work with excavation and disposal (to the waste dump and stockpile). Thus, the impact will
tend to air quality as a dust fly, slope instability due to alteration topograph and morphology of
the land, influence of hydrological function then surface water contamination by run off and
drainage. Thus, the mitigation action will be considered as ;
- The proper slope designs and safety factors will be applied to ensure slope stability for pit
slopes, mine waste containment facilities, and other civil works.
Laterite residual soils, while appearing generally to be competent and strong, may be subject
to sudden rapid moving failure movements if over-loaded by stockpiles, or other new loads.
All major piles and new loads imposed on these types of soils should be designed by
geotechnical engineers.
- Wastewater treatment and sedimentation ponds in the mining area will be required. The
sedimentation ponds will accommodate the run off water from mining (pit drainage), waste
dumps and stockpile, before discharging to the adjacent streams. As previously noted,
mining areas should be progressively reclaimed to minimize areas of exposed erodible
lateritic soils. Opportunities for in-pit sedimentation ponds may be integrated into the mine
plans.
5.6 Ferro-nickel Processing
Nickel ores processing to produce FeNi with using
5.7 Support Facilites Activites
5.8 Rehabilitation as re-vegetation
Considering that the mining concession is currently classified as Protected Forest, and in order
for mining to proceed would be re-classified as Production Forest, the reclamation objective
arguably would be to return the land to Production Forest capability
Ground and Wastewater Quality

Wastewater treatment plants are expected to be be required at:
 Base camp and office, with the proper sewage treatment plant and/or best quality septic
tank; and
 Ferro-nickel processing plant (and powerplant process).
Sedimentation ponds which are expected as well to be required for undertake of pit drainage,
waste dumps drainage and stockpile drainage (both of ore nickel and coal).
Wastewater treatment and sedimentation ponds in the mining area will be required. The
sedimentation ponds will accommodate the run off water from mining and waste dumps, before
discharging to the adjacent streams. As previously noted, mining areas should be progressively
reclaimed to minimize areas of exposed erodible lateritic soils. Opportunities for in-pit
sedimentation ponds may be integrated into the mine plans.

Points of surface water quality sampling should be selected at each of the open pit mining
areas, downstream of sedimentation ponds, at the discharge from the wastewater treatment
plant for the ore processing plant, and at points of discharge from the base camp sewage and
waste water treatment facilities.
A suggested monitoring concept would be to construct Indicator Ponds downstream of main
discharge locations, which would contain selected aquatic as a visual indication concerning the
quality of wastewater effluent from wastewater treatment plant to the public.
5.2 Air Quality and Noise

The following design mitigations and management approaches will likely be required to
manage air quality:
- Scrubber equipment in the emissions stack at the FeNi process plant;
- Routine maintenance of vehicles and heavy equipment in order to prevent unacceptably high
emission levels;
- Monitoring air quality and noise in mining areas, processing plant, powerplant and along
haulage and access roads; and
- Provision of appropriate safety equipment in areas of high noise or dust levels.
5.3 Slope Instability

The proper slope designs and safety factors will be applied to ensure slope stability for pit
slopes, mine waste containment facilities, and other civil works.
Laterite residual soils, while appearing generally to be competent and strong, may be subject to
sudden rapid moving failure movements if over-loaded by stockpiles, or other new loads. All
major piles and new loads imposed on these types of soils should be designed by geotechnical
engineers.
5.4 Rehabilitation as re-vegetation

Considering that the mining concession is currently classified as Protected Forest, and in order
for mining to proceed would be re-classified as Production Forest, the reclamation objective
arguably would be to return the land to Production Forest capability. This should be
confirmed..
5.5 Health and Safety Management

Health and Safety Management will be applied to all work activities, according to the relevant
regulations:
- PP RI No.19 Tahun 1973 tentang Pengaturan dan pengawasan keselamatan kerja di bidang
pertambangan.
- KEPMENTAMBEN No.555.K/26/M.PE/1995 tentang Keselamatan dan kesehatan kerja
pada pertambangan umum.
5.6 Waste Management at The Port

All wastes in and from port activities should be handled and managed as refer to PERMENLH
No.5/2009 tentang Pengelolaan Limbah di Pelabuhan
5.7 Environmental Licencing

Some of the required licencing components related to the environment (in addition to the
AMDAL documents ) are:
 Reclamation Plan document and the Mine Closure document, which is required by
the following regulations:
- PERMEN-No.18 / 2008 concerning the reclamation mining closure.
- KEPMENHUTBUN No.146/Kpts-II/1999 concerning the reclamation guidelines
for ex mining in forest area.
 Reclamation Guarantee, which is required by:

 The permit for wastewater disposal into water bodies, which is determined by
KEPMENLH No.142 / 2003 concening amendments of KEPMENLH no.111/2003
concerning Guidance and requirements and licencing procedures and guidelines for
assessment wastewater disposal into water or water resources.
 The permit for wastewtaer discharge into sea water which is determined by
PERMENLH No.12/2006 concerning Control over marine contamination and/or
damage.
 Drilling Permit or Surat Izin Pengeboran (SIP) and Groundwater Decision Permit or Surat
Izin Pengembilan Air Bawah Tanah (SIPA), which is set out in:
- KEPMEN ESDM No.1451.K/10/MEM/2000 concerning Technical guidelines of
govermental duties in groundwagter management, and
- By regional PERDA.
 Principle permit for stockpile area, by PERDA

 Explosive Material Usage Permission based on PERKAPOLRI No.2/2008
5.8 Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

The CSR planning and aplication it has already such a duty for any company in their
operational and development project where its stipulated in article 74 of UU No.40/2007
concerning Limited Companies. Thus, despite it has not defined yet as detailed regulation but
its still required to have commitment by the company to put this issue as serious matter which
can be performed with providing CSR Planning Program document and its monitoring updated.
