ESS 5 c. The report formats to be used for comprehensive Land Acquisition and Resettlement Action Plan LARAP and abbreviated LARAP, are included in Annex 3. Procedures for conducting LARAP and abbreviated LARAP are described in Sections 4 to 8 of the ESMF.

2.1. Environmental Screening and Studies

The Environmental Screening flow chart Figure 1 identifies the triggers for a full environmental impact assessment AMDAL or an environmental mitigation and monitoring plan UKLUPL, based on Regulations of the Minister of Environment in 2006 [5] and the Minister of Housing and Regional Settlements in 2003 [6]. AMDAL screening criteria now include bridges over 500 meters in length. The logical decision process has been clarified in this flow chart. Annex 6 described the screening and requirements for SPPL, UKLUPL and AMDAL. The preparation of the documents will be carried out by DSC Consultants or their sub consultants. In all cases the Project Proponent will be DGH and the approving agency will be the Bapedalda of the province or Kabupaten. The estimated time required for a UKLUPL study is 3 – 4 months, and for an AMDAL study, 6 – 12 months.

2.2. Standard Environmental Clauses

For all works contracts, a set of standard environmental clauses SECs is included in Section 1.17 of the Technical Specification in the bidding documents. This is referred to in Part 3 Section 7 below under Environmental Specifications Section 1.17. If one package requires additional treatment whether or not as a result of environmental study, a set of Special Environmental Clauses SpECs may be added, to be included in the appropriate sub-section of Section 1.17 of the Technical Specification. Ongoing World Bank projects EIRTP-2 and SRIP have used the term ‘standard operating procedures’ SOPs instead of SECs. One SEC relates to HIVAIDS awareness. Under both EINRIP and SRIP, Clause 6.7 of the General Conditions of Contract requires the Contractor to be responsible to encourage his personnel to attend a HIVAIDS awareness program during the Contractor’s working hours. This program will be conducted by an approved service provider arranged by the consultant employed to assist the PMU. The Contractor remains responsible for other health and safety- related precautions for his personnel.

2.3. Land Acquisition

A Land Acquisition and Resettlement Policy Framework LARF gives overall guidance for the preparation of full LARAPs, abbreviated LARAPs, and TRACER studies for those Sub- projects where land was previously acquired. The terms and procedures are described in Part II of this document.
