Western I ndonesia National Roads I mprovement Project 4 - 18 a Environmental Safeguards. The environmental licenses for all work packages were obtained. Similarly, the quarry permits for the ongoing works are up to date. The licenses for the stone crushers and asphalt mixing plans for the three last packages 12, 21 and 15 are expected to be issued imminently. For the three last packages 07, 12, and 16 there have also been some delays in the preparation of the environmental management implementation plans RKPPLs. This has not been a significant issue as CTC s environmental specialist also carried out monitoring for the packages that have not yet completed their RKPPLs. Submission of environmental management and monitoring EMP reports to the local environmental agency BLH has so far been largely satisfactory. All environmental related documents are published on the project website. The findings of the field visit that took place on February 16 and 17, 2107 is reported below. b General Heath Safety and Environment. Overall, the application of good practice as per the SOP DG Highway requirement varied among the packages and contractor. Though from time to time, the trend toward compliance is positive, still some packages require persistent push or perhaps penalty, especially for issue related to good house-keeping in AMP areas and minimum safety requirement of using PPE during work. Oilfuel spillage as well as fuel storage without proper containment are still common issues, found on AMP area as well as worker without proper PPE. c Labor influx and HIVAIDSSTD public consultation. Recruitments of unskilled labor for all packages have given priority for local community. Within a section being rehabilitated, depending on the length of the section, there can be few groups local communities involved in the civil work. The local labor commutes daily from their own house to the site. The proportion of local labor to the total population living along most of section is small, likewise the migrant workers who stay in the contractor basecamp is insignificant compare with the total local community. Thus, the risk of negative impact due to labor is low. Furthermore, the HIVAIDSSTD prevention workshops attended by both local and migrant workers have been conducted for most of the packages, the local experts from the local HIVAIDS prevention agency i.e. Dinas Kesehatan ware asked as resource person for the workshop. For the three recently contracted packages No.8, 20 21 these workshops are scheduled for 7 8 March and the remaining 1 one package No.16 is schedule onMay 2017. d Complaint handling. The most recent complaint was received via email February 7, 2017 from community living along the section of Package 14 Painan Kambang. Complaint was about an increase of dust due to project activities. Upon the tripartite discussion i.e. PPK and CTC, contractor and community, it was agreed that the contractor shall provide a dedicated water-tank truck on that particulars sections. Site visit on February 16, 2017 confirms the contractor s commitment for dust suppressing along the road being rehabilitated. In contrast to Package 14, driving along the Package 12 Kambang Indrapura, the team found local community tried by themselves to control the dust by putting speed bump and watering the road by themselves. Further follow-up with contractor will be required.
