Buildings and infrastructure, transportation, utilities and access routes; Major operational components of the Project and a project layout showing the linkages among
these components; A project development schedule;
The rationale for selecting the proposed site and how technical, geotechnical and environmental criteria and stakeholder input were considered in decision-making.
Need for land acquisition, changes in land use and restricted access to land, assets and natural resources and the extent of involuntary resettlement impacts i.e. full or partial, permanent or
temporary loss of housing, land, access to land, assets and resources, wagesincome from any affected businesses, impacts on non-titled users, women, indigenousethnic minority
householdscommunities and vulnerable people.
Presence of indigenous peoples who may be affected by the project livelihoods, cultural, economic, ecological and social patterns.
13. Provide maps of appropriate scale showing:
All existing seismic lines, access roads and other linear corridors e.g., pipelines, utility corridors, etc.;
The location of the development relative to all terrestrial components e.g., soils, topography, watercourses, vegetation, wildlife habitat, watersheds, wetlands, etc..

23.5. Baseline Information
14. Provide a comprehensive understanding of existing physical, biological and socio-cultural
environment and land use of the project area. The information should be collected from secondary sources that are relevant to understanding the baseline conditions and mitigation of impacts due to
projects as well as enhancement measures.
15. On physical environment, baseline information on ambient air quality, noise level, water and soil
quality of the project area should be delineated. Where relevant, baseline information to assess the visual as well as severance impacts should be provided. The information gaps should be covered from primary
data collection survey. Care should be exercised to cover environmentally sensitive locations and locations likely to be significantly impacted during the primary survey. The baseline environmental quality
stations should be carefully identified and covered to provide data that can be compared with the data collected during the project construction and operations to assess the actual impacts as well as to assess
the efficacy of the mitigations measure.
23.5.1. Baseline surveys:
16. The Consultants will :
a Collect data through field surveyssamplings to cover full annual cycle to measure and report the existing environmental conditions at and near the site including ambient air quality, noise, water
quality; b Conduct census and socio-economic survey of affected communities
c Collect information from secondary sources that are relevant to understanding the baseline, as well as design and mitigation of enhancement measures, as pertaining to physical, biological and
socio-cultural environments, d Carry out site visits and investigations of all environmentally sensitive locations and document
them on base maps to identify conflict point with preliminary designs including verification of these from authentic sources of information, such as from already existing records, and
e Prepare detailed specific maps showing details of sites for environmental enhancements
23.5.2. Additional baseline surveys:
17. The Consultants shall collect information on the existing environmental scenario from secondary
sources, and identify gaps to be filled, relevant to the environmental screening needs from primary surveys. The Consultants shall survey the environmentally sensitive locations on and along the project,
as well as within the project’s influence area. All regionally and nationally recognized environmental resources and features within the project’s influence area shall be clearly identified and studied in relation
to the activities proposed. Typically, these will include environmental and common property resources such as forests, large water bodies, and major physical cultural properties. All these may be depicted
using a line diagram or a strip map.

18. All surveys will be carried out in compliance with Indonesian standards guidelines norms as
well as IIF Principles. Wherever such guidelines norms are unavailable, the techniques, tools and samples employed for the surveys shall conform to international practices. Whenever directly relevant
secondary data is available, these should be used, while indirectly relevant data should be verified through primary survey. Where feasible, use of satellite data and geo-reference maps should be made to
provide a record of environmental information for future reference.
19. Environmental quality air, water and noise monitoring shall include an adequate number of
samples, as established on a sampling network, so as to provide a representative sample of the entire project. Additional sample data for sensitive environmentalecological receptors, if any, shall be collected
such as to analyze and predict the possible impacts to a large degree and precision of acceptable professional standards. Further, additional specialized surveys, such as biodiversity assessment survey,
and or hydrological surveys shall be conducted, if and when recommended by environmental scoping. It is recommended that environmental surveys be aligned with social and engineering surveys as far as
practical.
23.6. Impact Identification and Prediction
20. The Consultants shall determine the potential impacts due to the project through identification,
analysis and evaluation on sensitive areas natural habitats, wetlands, protected areas, sites of historic, cultural and conservation importance, urban settlements and villages agricultural areas. The impacts
due to project activities on ambient environment Air, water, soil, wastes, noise etc., natural environment biodiversity, protected areas, landscape, historic sites etc. and socio-economic environment
resettlement, indigenous people, livelihood, working conditions, public health etc. needs to be predicted and evaluated using various methodologies or models. These should be classified as significant positive
and negative impacts, immediate and long-term impacts, and unavoidable and reversible impacts. The impacts should be quantified in terms of its magnitude and significance, wherever possible.
21. For each impact predicted, feasible and cost-effective mitigation measures shall be identified to
reduce potentially significant adverse environmental impacts to acceptable levels. The capital and recurring costs of the measures, and the institutional training and monitoring requirements to effectively
implement these measures shall be determined. The Consultants shall explore and recommend environmental enhancements for positive impacts. At this stage, it would be important to identify issues
that cannot be dealt with during the project preparation stage, but should be undertaken during the implementation stage.
22. Note: Where models are used, document any assumptions used in the EIA report to obtain
predictions. Clearly identify the data used in the modelling including sources of error and relative accuracy, and identify the limitations of the models and steps taken to improve the accuracy. Describe the
applicability and reasons for using a particular model.
