(Persero) ("PLN") and all other parties to control and/or minimise the impacts of construction activities associated with the Access Road for the 1040MW Upper Cisokan Pumped Storage Hydropower Power Plant on the host communities and the natural environment. The Access Road EMP forms part of the Upper Cisokan Hydropower Power Plant Environmental Management Plan, which covers environmental responsibilities and tasks for the entire project. This EMP details: Roles and responsibilities Key potential environmental and social impacts Mitigation measures for general and specific potential environmental and social impacts Communications and Reporting The following tools are attached in the appendices: Alignment sheets, demonstrating specific potential environmental and social impacts and mitigation measures along the entire road route. (see Appendix Access Road) Physical cultural resources management plan. Environmental specifications for the contractor. Terms of Reference for the Supervising Engineer. 1.1 Overview of the Upper Cisokan Hydro Power Plant In order to meet growing energy demands and to strengthen the Java-Bali network, the state owned power company, PT PLN (Persero), is proposing a 1040MW pumped storage hydroelectric power plant in the Upper Cisokan catchment, West Java Province. The Upper Cisokan Power Plant will have two reservoirs, each with an active volume of 10,000,000m 3. Water will be released through turbines from the upper reservoir to the lower reservoir, to generate electricity during daily peak load. The stored water from the lower reservoir will be pumped back up to the upper reservoir during off peak demand, after 10-12pm daily, using energy supply from the base load coal-powered plants. A pumped storage power plant will allow more flexibility in the power network, and provide PLN with a cheaper method of meeting daily peak loads. 1.2 Location of the Upper Cisokan Power Plant in West Java Province The general location of the Upper Cisokan hydropower project in Java is shown in Figure 1. The site is approximately 150km from Jakarta, in West Java province. 4 Figure 1 Location Map of Java and West Java Province The project is located on the Cisokan River in the range of hills that traverse west to east along Java, the central and most populous island in the Indonesian archipelago. The Cisokan River flows generally from south to north as a major tributary of the Citarum River, which flows to the Java Sea on the north coast of Java. The Citarum River is one of the largest on Java, and already has a number of hydropower plants along its length, the nearest to the Upper Cisokan Power Plant is the Cirata (downstream) and Saguling (neighbouring catchment). The site is close to the large sources of energy demand on Java, the industrial and population centres of West Java province. 500kV high voltage transmission lines will connect the Power Plant to integrated Java-Bali grid. To the north the Power Plant will be connected to the Cibinong-Saguling transmission line, via 15.55 km of new line, and to the south the Power Plant will be connected to the Tasikmalaya-Depok transmission line, via 11.95 km of new line. The key features of the Power Plant are: A 75.5 m high upper dam located on the Cirumamis River, with a 10 km2 catchment and 80 ha reservoir surface area at high water level. An operating range of fluctuation about 19 m. The dam will be constructed of roller compacted concrete. A 98.0 m high lower dam located on the Cisokan River, with a 355 km2 catchment and a 260 ha reservoir surface area at high water level. An operating range of fluctuation about 4.5 m. The dam will be constructed of roller compacted concrete. 5  1040MW generating capacity, and 1100MW pumping capacity, located in an underground power station. Tunnels will connect the power station with the reservoirs. A switchyard and administration buildings will complete the hydropower station complex. 29.5km of transmission lines connecting the Upper Cisokan with the Cibinong- Saguling line to the north. The Power Plant will generate electricity during the peak demand, in the evening, and use the base load power during the day and after midnight to pump the stored water back up to the upper reservoir. After initial inundation, the majority of water within the catchments will be passed through bottom outlets or spillways, with only ,,top up water retained in the reservoirs to make up for evaporative losses. 27km of new road will be constructed to access the construction sites, and 7km of existing road will be upgraded. The existing Gunung Karang Quarry will be used for aggregate and base course materials of the dams cosntruction. A 20kV distribution line will be installed prior to construction to assist with construction power needs. 1.3 Overview of the Proposed Access Road As there is currently no access for heavy vehicles to the dam sites, the proposal is to construct 27km of new road from Cipari Junction to the project site, and upgrade 7km of the existing road from Gunung Karang quarry to Cipari Junction. 1.3.1 Location and Design The road from Gunung Karang Quarry to the Upper and Lower Dam site area is shown in the location map in point 8.0 and the access road alignment sheets attached in point 9.0. The existing road from Gunung Karang Quarry to Cipari Junction at Cipari Village will be enhanced along the existing alignment, with new asphalt and safety features. The remainder of the road, from Cipari Village to the upper and lower dam sites, will be entirely new. The road will be located in West Bandung District. The host sub-districts and villages are listed in Table 1. Table 1 Host Sub-Districts and Villages in West Bandung District Sub-districts Villages Road Alignment Cipongkor Karangsari Existing Cipongkor Sarinagen Existing Cipongkor Cijambu Existing and New Cipongkor Sirnagalih New Rongga Cibitung New Rongga Sukaresmi New 6 The existing road alignment wide will be 8m aspalth pavement and each 1.5m of shoulder road is moderate populated, with many buildings within several metres of the existing road alignment. Of note along the route are two schools and a separate playing field for one of the schools. The road is currently used by pedestrians, motorbikes, cars and light trucks. The new road alignment wide will be 8m aspalth pavement and each 1.5m of shoulder road. The route was selected based on topography and existing land uses, to minimise social and environmental disturbances where possible. The route bypasses different populated areas and mostly avoids rice fields. Six new bridges will be required along the route, and will be designed in accordance with the Indonesian road design standards. The roads have been designed to accommodate the construction transport requirements: mobilisation of civil works contractors; haulage of aggregate for dam construction and other concrete works from Gunung Karang quarry; and mobilisation of electrical and mechanical contractors. 1.3.2 Construction The existing road will be widened and sealed. For the new road, vegetation clearance will be undertaken by chainsaws. Locals will have access to the materials for firewood and other purposes. Bulldozers and excavators will then clear undergrowth and topsoil, and undertake the cut and fill required to form the road. Weathered rock from along the route will be used as sub-base. The locations of weathered rock have not yet been identified and will be done by the contractor. Rock will be ripped and collected using bulldozers. Dump trucks, bulldozers and rollers will haul, spread and compact the sub-base. Crusher run material from the Gunung Karang quarry will be used as base course, and will be spread and compacted by graders and rollers. The final seal will be asphalt. Asphalt mix produced at a plant located at the quarry will be transported by dump trucks to the working area. 1.4 Relevant Indonesian Standards The supervision and implementation of this EMP should not be inconsistent with the following: Ministry of Public Works Directorate General of Highway.
