FOREWORD
PT. Kaltim Nitrate Indonesia (KNI) will construct and operate Ammonium Nitrate
Factory located in Industrial Estate of PT. Kaltim Industrial Estate (KIE), Bontang
City, East Kalimantan Province. The factory core production is designed to
produce Ammonium Nitrate in the capacity of 300,000 tones / year AN, that will be
used as commercial explosive raw materials, 90% of which will be marketed in
country. The main raw materials to produce Ammonium nitrate are Ammonia and
Nitric acid. Ammonia will be supplied by PT Pupuk Kaltim, while Nitric acid will be
supplied directly by its producer. The permit construction of Ammonium Nitrate
Factory was issued by the Capital Investment Coordination Body Number
473/III/PMA/2007 dated on 11 April 2007.
Based on the Government Regulation Number 27 Year 1999 Article 4 section (1)
and (2) regarding Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), the petrochemical
industry located in the area that has been equipped by EIA document (in this case
is the “SEL” document of Industrial Estate of PT Pupuk Kaltim) is not compulsory
to carry out the EIA, however, such industry is compulsory to manage
environmental impact and to conserve environmental function and these have to
be declared in Environmental Management Plan (RKL) and Environmental
Monitoring Plan (RPL) documents. The environmental parameters that have to be
managed and monitored are determined based on the significant impact
recommended by Environmental Impact Analysis.
The Environmental Impact Analysis Document of Ammonium Nitrate Factory is
composed by PT. Kaltim Nitrate Indonesia in collaboration with Environmental
Research Centre, Research Institute of Diponegoro University.
I express my sincere gratitude to any other parties who have landed their hands in
arranging this document.

1.2. THE AIMS AND THE ADVANTAGES
The arrangement of Environmental Impact Analysis which its recommendations
will be incorporated in the documents of RKL-RPL is aimed:
1. To identify the environmental changes from its initial condition and impact
occurred due to construction and operation activities of Ammonium Nitrate
Factory,
2. To cope and to manage the negative impacts inside and in the surrounding
ambient environment of Ammonium Nitrate Factory,
3. To enhance positive impacts inside and in the surrounding ambient
environment of Ammonium Nitrate Factory,
4. To fulfil the initiator obligatory and responsibility in the field of environmental
management in supporting government economic programme and national
industrial development.
The advantages of Environmental Impact Analysis are:
1. For the Proponent a) To understand and to develop the applied environmental management
resulted from the studies in order to warrant preservation function,

b) As a substance of community’s consideration in order to participate in
environmental management and monitoring activities.
1.3. REGULATIONS
1.3.1. BASIC REGULATIONS OF CONDUCTING EIA
Ammonium Nitrate Factory of PT KNI construction plan can cause significant to
the environment. Referring to Article 15 Section (1) and Article 18 Section (1) of
the Statute Number 23 Year 1997 on Environmental Management stated that in
order to get activity permission, every activity plan potentially causing significant
impact to the environment is compulsory to carry out Environmental Impact
Assessment.
Based on Article 2 of Government Regulation Number 27 Year 1999 on
Environmental Impact Assessment, the Environmental Impact Assessment
arranged by the proponent is a part of feasibility studies, which results will be
used as a substance in regional development plan.
The construction of Ammonium Nitrate Factory that is compulsory to be
completed with Environmental Impact Assessment is referring to the criteria
stated on the Appendix (Point 3, Section G of Industry Section) of the Decree of
the State Minister on Environment of the Republic of Indonesia Number 11
Year 2006 on the Types of Effort Plan and/or Activity subjected to be completed
with Environmental Impact Assessment. Stated on the decree that for all
petrochemical upper industry is compulsory to carry out Environmental Impact
Assessment (EIA).
Particular scientific reason that petrochemical upper industry is necessity to
conduct the EIA is due to the activity is common in emerging impact. This
because the activity is:
1) Using quite large area,
2) Requiring a large amount of water,
3) Requiring a large amount of energy,
4) Requiring a large number of workers,
5) Potential in generating wastes: gases (SO2 and NOx), dust (SiO2), waste
waters (TSS, BOD, COD, NH4Cl) as well as toxic and hazardous catalyst
wastes.

This environmental impact study arrangement is expected to give advantages to
the surrounding communities, proponent, government and the environment.
Basic considerations used in this EIA Study are:
First, the various aspects of the activity plan and the various environmental
factors thus there must be a guide for activities’ component as well as
environmental components that have to be assessed.
Second, the limiting factors of resources such as time, budget, personnel and
method hence there must be affirmation on how to match the aims and the
expected results in the limited resources without decreasing the quality of the
study.
Third, efficiency factor related to data and information collected for arranging
document purposes so that data and information collection has to be limited on
factors directly related to the study needs.
The parties involved in arranging this Environmental Impact Assessment
document i.e. proponent (PT KNI), industrial estate management (PT KIE),
specific harbour and industrial complex management (PT PKT), responsibility
institutions (Regional Environmental Impact Management Board of East
Kalimantan Province, and Environment Office of Bontang City), communities
living in the surrounding factory site (Guntung and Loktuan villages) and the
document arranger (PPLH UNDIP).
In arranging the document, started from the beginning, experts and affected
communities have been involved; community including NGOs consultation in
Guntung and Loktuan Villages has also been conducted.
The EIA results are beneficial for both decision makers and planners to
determine environmental management/monitoring alternatives. The document
clearly and distinctly reflects environmental concept as indicated through:
1. The accommodation of involved parties’ (stakeholders) aspirations related to
factors which are considered important to be assessed,
2. The existence of analysis and evaluation of alternative activity plans that are
technically, economically, and ecologically reasonable to prevent the
emerging larger negative impacts,

Chapter I: Introduction I - 5
3. Awareness on environmental characteristics potentially changed from their
initial condition, such as the classification of environmental component that
its functions will be prevented, maintained, and preserved; as well as
environmental components that will be fundamentally changed.
4. Understanding on interrelatedness and interdependency in the ecosystem of
Bontang City coastal area.
Following is the document arrangement flow diagram:

1.3.2. BASIC CONSIDERATIONS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STUDIES
1) Environmental Evaluation Study (SEL) of Industrial Complex of PT. Pupuk
Kaltim approved by EIA Commission of Industrial Department through the
Approval Letter Number of 189/SJ/III/1992 dated on 28 March 1992. The
study has been arranged based on the Stipulate Number 4 Year 1982 on
Basic Environmental Management and Government Regulation Number 29
Year 1986 on the EIA.
2) Following the SEL of Industrial Complex of PT. Pupuk Kaltim was the
arrangement of Environmental Management Plan and Environmental
Monitoring Plan documents (RKL – RPL) of Industrial Estate of PT Kaltim
Industrial Estate, approved by the Ministry of Industrial Affair through the
Approval Letter Number of 926/M/10/1993 dated on 20 October 1993.
Environmental Impact Analysis of Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT. KNI
Chapter I: Introduction I - 6
3) In accordance with the issuing Government Regulation Number 51 Year
1993 on the EIA which has annulled Government Regulation Number 29
Year 1986, the RKL-RPL of Industrial Estate of PT. KIE is used as the bases
in arranging environmental impact assessment documents of the existing
factories’ operation activities as well as the factories that will be located in
the industrial estate of PT. KIE.
4) In accordance with the reformation requirements, environmental regulations
have been renewed by the issuing Stipulate Number 23 Year 1997 on
Environmental Management and the issuing Government Regulation
Number 27 Year 1999 on Environmental Impact Assessment.
5) No clauses, in Stipulate Number 23 Year 1997 on Environmental
Management and Government Regulation Number 27 Year 1999 on EIA,
mention any statements about the annulations of the environmental
documents which the studies have been carried out based on former
regulations (Stipulate Number 4 Year 1982 on Basic Environmental
Management and Government Regulation Number 29 Year 1986 on the EIA
junction Government Regulation Number 51 Year 1993 on EIA), and
therefore the SEL document of Industrial Complex of PT Pupuk Kaltim as
well as RKL-RPL documents of Industrial Estate of PT KIE approved by
Industrial Affair Department’s EIA Commission are still valid.
6) In accordance with reformation requirements, Environmental Regulations
have been synchronized with the Stipulation Number 22 Year 1999 on
Regional Government junction Stipulation Number 32 Year 2004 on Regional
Government. Stated in its clause that a part of the environmental matters is
decentralized to the regional government. Referring to Article 1 section (5) of
Decree of the State Minister of Environment Number 40 Year 2000 on a
Guide of EIA Commission Organization, the environmental documents of
petrochemical upper industry are evaluated in Provincial EIA Commission.
Therefore, the environmental documents of Industrial Estate of PT KIE are
evaluated by EIA Commission of East Kalimantan Province.

Chapter I: Introduction I - 7
7) Referring to Article 4 Section (2) of Government Regulation Number 27 Year
1999 on EIA, the petrochemical industry located in the industrial estate that
has been already equipped by EIA document (in this case the SEL document
of Industrial Complex of PT Pupuk Kaltim) is not subjected to carry out the
EIA, however, it is still compulsory to carry out environmental impact
management and environmental function preservation suitable with industrial
estate RKL-RPL (in this case RKL-RPL which is arranged based on Stipulate
Number 4 Year 1982 on Basic Environmental Management, Government
Regulation Number 29 Year 1986 on EIA and Government Regulation
Number 51 Year 1993 on EIA)
8) Based on Article 15 section (1) and Article 18 Section (1) of Stipulate
Number 27 Year 1999 on EIA, and Appendix 1 (Point 3 Petrochemical upper
industry, Section G of Industry Section) of the Decree of the State Minister
on Environment of the Republic of Indonesia Number 11 Year 2006, the
factory activities located in Industrial estate of PT KIE and Industrial Complex
of PT Pupuk Kaltim are categorized as can emerge magnitude and
significant impact. Therefore, the factory activities have to be completed with
environmental management and monitoring in the form of RKL and RPL
documents (not UKL and UPL documents).
9) PT. KNI as the proponent of Ammonium Nitrate Factory construction will
carry out environmental study in which the environmental management and
monitoring recommendation will be incorporated in the documents of
Environmental Management Plan (RKL) and Environmental Monitoring Plan
(RPL) of Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT KNI located in the industrial estate of
PT KIE, Bontang City, East Kalimantan Province.

CHAPTER II METHOD OF STUDY
2.1. METHOD OF DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSES
Data collection and analyses of environmental component diversity are carried
out for:
a. Assessing, observing, and determining initial condition of the environment
which is predicted will be affected by magnitude and significant impact of
activity plan;
b. Assessing and observing activity plan component which is predicted will be
impacted by its surrounding environment;
c. Predicting environmental quality which is affected by activity plan based on
data calculation of environmental initial condition parameter.
Data are collected from activity plan site including several locations in the
surrounding site that are predicted to be impacted. Through these collecting data,
environmental initial condition that is predicted will be impacted, can be observed;
therefore impact magnitude in the study area can be calculated.
Primary data collection conducted in the beginning of study, is used for the
environmental initial condition arrangement, and served as basic data for impact
prediction and evaluation purposes. Primary data are collected in situ.
Determination of sampling sites is based on project site location and impact
dispersion, along with study area border and laboratory analyses purposes for
air, water, soil and noise. Land morphology and erosion indication data are
collected through visual inventory.

2.1.1.1. Climate
Observed climate data including rain fall, temperature and air humidity, are
gained from the closest meteorology station or from PT Pupuk Kaltim
Observatory Station in the form of secondary data. Such data are taken from
the period of minimum 10-year-rain fall.
Climate component data then are selected and grouped statistically and
presented in tabulation or graphic figure, in order climate pattern in the study
area easier to determine. Data are calculated as maximum and minimum
averages.
a) Climate Type
Local climate type is determined based on climate classification of Schmidt
and Fergusson by comparing the mean of dry months to the mean of wet
months known as Q (Quotient) value:
Q = K x 100% B
Explanation: K = mean of dry months, i.e. rainfall < 60 mm. B = mean of wet months, i.e. rainfall > 100 mm.
b) Air Temperature
Air temperature data are collected from the closest meteorology station,
and also measured directly in several locations.
c) Rain Fall Rain fall indicates the amount of rain in certain area which is measured in
millimeter unit. Rain fall data are collected from the closest meteorology
station.
d) Humidity Humidity data are collected as secondary data. Direct measurement is
also conducted by using circular pycrometer along with dry and wet ball
thermometers. Air humidity is defined as relative humidity, derives from
Clausius-Clapeyron equation.

2.1.1.2. Air Quality
Air pollution is defined as the occurring contaminants in certain concentration
and specific time in open space; thus it can disturb or potential to harm human
health/life, organism, and plants, including abiotic material and can affect
human convenient. Pollution materials are emitted from their sources to the
air, and distributed in the atmosphere through dispersion, diffusion, chemical
transformation and complex dilution processes. Pollution materials, as they
are influenced by atmospheric movement and dynamics, can be transported

2.1.1.3. Noise
Noise is unwanted sound coming from an activity or effort in certain level and
time which can disturb human health and the environment. Noise can disturb
conversation, convenience, and hearing ability. Noise besides can risk human
health and the environment, it can also risk other organisms including
livestock, wild animals, and natural system.
All human gadgets are potential to cause noise. To human, noise can cause
acoustic trauma, permanent increasing hearing level as well as short memory
disturbance, emotion, conversation, and sleeping annoyance. Noise level that
physically and psychologically hazards, is in the intensity of > 100 dBA.
Noise main source in Ammonium nitrate factory, is coming from heavy duty
equipment operation that can impact project site environment and its
surroundings. Noise is directly measured in the location using Sound Level
Meter. Determination of measuring location is based on impact sources, wind
direction and velocity, as well as community settlement.

Mapping of noise level in this environmental impact study is done by two
measuring methods, i.e. noise level measurement for environmental
evaluation purposes is done by calculating LSM value, and mean of noise level
measurement for factory area purposes is done by calculating Lek value.
Noise level measurement for environmental purposes is prepared simply,
using sound level meter, and then referred to KEP-48/MENLH/11/1996. Sound
pressure level dB(A) is measured in 5 minutes for each measurement, and
reading time in 5 seconds.
Environmental Impact Analysis of Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT. KNI
Chapter II : Method of Study II - 7
Measuring time is done in the period of 24 hours (LSM). Day time is measured
in 16 hours (LS) from 06.00 to 22.00 in peak activities, while night activities is
measured in 8 hours (LM) from 22.00 to 06.00. Each measurement is
representing particular period times as follows:
• L1 represents times of 06.00 – 09.00 WIB • L2 represents times of 09.00 – 14.00 WIB • L3 represents times of 14.00 – 17.00 WIB • L4 represents times of 17.00 – 22.00 WIB • L5 represents times of 22.00 – 24.00 WIB • L6 represents times of 24.00 – 03.00 WIB • L7 represents times of 03.00 – 06.00 WIB
Results of noise level measurements are compared to environmental noise
standard stated in decree of Kep-48/MENLH/11/1996. According to the
decree, settlement area noise level standard is 55 dB, while industrial area is
70 dB.
2.1.1.4. Physiography and Geology
Physiography is defined as a knowledge that study on genesis and evolution
of land form including not only earth surface and geology but also climate,
meteorology and oceanography, as well as general natural phenomena
(Natural Resources Survey, Bakosurtanal, 1999).
Physiography study in EIA is aimed to observe land condition regionally and
then directing to the study area to observe its terrain.
Land is earth surface area, and characterized as relatively stable. This area is
a part or a complement of biosphere, in which includes starting from
atmosphere, geomorphology, soil and geology, hydrology, flora and fauna
population, and human activity results from the ancient up to now, until to the
border of where such complement has significant influences on recently and
future land use (FAO, 1976).
Terrain is earth surface area which is related to physical characteristics of
complex surface and near surface, and is important to human (Zuidam, 1979).
Physiography data are using secondary information referred to van Bemmelen
(1948).
Environmental Impact Analysis of Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT. KNI
Chapter II : Method of Study II - 8
Geology is a study of planet of the earth especially on its material
components, process and process results, history, and living forms starting
from the beginning of the earth formation (Bates and Jackson, 1987).
• Materials composing the earth body are: mineral, rocks, soil,
• Natural process occurred in the earth,
Exogenic: rock decay, erosion, sedimentation and mass movement,
Endogenic: diastrophism, epeirogenesis, orogenesis, volcanism.
• Process result: terrain form, soil, secondary mineral, geology structure,
sliding, flooding, tsunami, earth quake.
Environmental geology is knowledge and geology principle applications in
environmental problems caused by anthropogenic activities and in physical
environment exploited by human (Bates and Jackson, 1987).
Condition/characteristic of environmental geology source can be a support or
can be a hindrance/limitation to the activities.
Physiography and geology primary data are collected through survey and
mapping methods, while samples collection for laboratory analyses purposes
is taken based on environmental geology unit representative. Secondary data
are taken from former studies’ results. Samples’ numbers and sampling
location determination are presented on Table 2.6.

Observed parameter data are analyzed using description and matching
methods.
1) Description method
Description method is using aggressive description analyses aimed to
definitely figure out the environmental geology characteristic in order to
evaluate geology parameter correctly.

2.1.2.3. Water biota Water biota sample collection includes bacteria, plankton, macro benthos, and
nekton (fish). The samples usually cannot be analyzed directly; therefore samples
must be preserved to prevent specimen destruction. Sample preservation (except
bacteria) is commonly using ethanol 95% which is poured into sample liquid until
ethanol concentration ± 70%; the concentration is enough for preservation and
permanent colouring. Plankton sample is preserved by using lugol, MAF (methanol-
acetic acid-formalin), or 6-3-1 preservative (6 part water: 3 part ethanol 95%; 1 part
formalin). However, lugol or formalin which is naturally acid, can solve
Coccolithopora shell occurring abundantly in the estuary and seawaters. Adjusting
lugol to base/neutral, will not effective enough in preserving other Flagellate
species. Formalin can also cause fracture, causing difficulty in identifying or
determining individual species numbers consisted in the sample.

2.1.2.4. Water bacteria
Bottle of micro organism sample always must be sterile and caped until the bottle
used. Bacteria sample that cannot be analyzed <1 hour, should be preserved
initially by decreasing temperature to <100 C (better to decrease temperature to
<40C) for less then 6 hours. In laboratory the sample should be refrigerated, and
analyzed within <2 hours.
To neutralize water sample consisting chlorine residue, chloramines, or halogen,
reductor such as 1M Na-thiosulphate (Na2S2O3) has to be added, except the bottle
has already consisted of broth to directly promote sample growth. The
recommended amount of Na-thiosulphate is 0.1 ml for bottle volumed 100 ml, 0.25
ml for bottle 250 ml and 0.5 ml for bottle 500 ml (Afiati, 2003).
Water bacteria sampled is differenced, based on sampling locations, i.e. surface
and bottom of the waters.
Microorganism sampled manually in water surface
Sampling bottle is filled in about ± ¾ of its volume, or left column ±2.5 cm for
aeration during shaking before subsequently analyzed. In the course of sampling in
seawaters, river, spring waters, lake or reservoir, hold the capped bottle from its
bottom, sink the bottle with its neck down, open the cap in the water but do not
rinse with this water, turn the bottle until its mouth directs to the stream. If there is
no stream, the bottle must be held horizontally away from the hand, and filled up to
¾ of volume and capped in the water. If using the boat during sampling, sample
has to be taken from the side of the boat far away from boat machine. If it is not
possible, bottle can be weighed with ballast.
Microorganism sampled in the bottom of the waters Sample is taken by using water sampler (van Dorn, Kemmerer or Nansen reversing
bottle) from the suitable location at surface bottom. Sterile bottle in the capacity of
150-250 ml, then, is sunk into water sampler or obtained the water from the water
sampler, and capped tightly. Without any adding preservative, bottle is labelled and
put in ice box during in the field (Sterritt & Lester, 1988).

Sample incubation Total Bacterial Count: one ml water sample is pipetted in to Plate Count Agar (PCA)
medium in sterile Petri. In the prediction of excessive bacteria population, dilution
(1: 100, 1:1000, etc) using sterile water should be prepared. Inoculums should be
moved in sterile condition. Shake Petri dish slowly in the direction of number 8 at
least 25 times and put horizontally. Petri then, is incubated in 35 ±2°C for 44 ± 4
hours. Media humidity should be kept by putting water dish in the bottom of
incubator, or Petri is wrapped with plastic, in order weight not to be lost by >15%.
Initial observation can begin after 24 hours. Total bacterial count is explained in
colony/ml water sample.
Incubation in Lactose Broth (LB) medium is done for presumptive test of coli form
consisted in bacterial water sample. Each sample is growth 3 times by decreasing
its concentration in 24 to 48 hours and temperature of 35°C. To the positive and
uncertain tubes, coli form group confirmation are tested in the temperature of 35°C
and faecal coli in the temperature of 44.50C, 24 hours each in Brilliant Green
Lactose Bile Broth (BGLB) media, and followed by Endo Agar.
Analyses of water bacteria data To know general bacteria species, including coli form, faecal coli, and total bacteria
numbers as bacteria contributor in biodegradation, water bacteria analyses is
carried out. Total bacteria are tested duple in Plate Count Agar media. To dish
consisting of 30-300 colonies, its results are averaged, and total bacteria numbers
are counted as follows (Afiati, 2003):

Plankton
Plankton sample in this study is taken passively by filtering surface water with
plankton net No. 25 (ASTM) until particular volume, usually 100 litres, or water from
particular depth taken by water sampler. Filtered result is poured into 20 ml volume
bottle filled with MAF preservative or alcohol 70% and ½ drop Rose Bengal
solution. Bottle is labelled and put in ice box. Plankton sample then is analyzed
using microscope. Analyze: put 1 ml sample in Sedgwick-Rafter counting chamber,
count 3 times using microscope, and average the result. Species abundance is

Plankton (phytoplankton and zooplankton) is identified using identification guide, for
example Bold & Wynne (1978), APHA (1992), Humm & Wicks (1980) and internet
information. Plankton species distribution as a specific waters’ indicator is tabulated
to determine its diversity index (H’), and species uniformity index (J) using
Shannon-Weaver index (Poole, 1974), as follows:

2.1.2.6. Macrozoobenthos Several equipments used in benthos sample collection are dredger (Ekman
dredge), van Veen grab, or pralon. Such equipments are usually used in benthos
sample collection that is living in the surface and bottom waters until particular
waters depth. Therefore, benthos data are standing stock data.
Sediment sample is taken from the bottom of waters using van Veen grab sampler.
The wet sediment is sieved by 5 mesh (2.54 mm) sever; it is recommended to sieve
in the boat side waters and boat deck should be kept clean. The leftover sediment
which is remained in the sever, is collected, sprayed with aquadest to keep
organism in good condition (not destroyed), poured into labelled wide mouth plastic
bottle which volumes of 200ml, preserved with 70% alcohol minimum 2.5 X sample
volume, and coloured by Rose Bengal (0.1gr/100ml).
In laboratory, macrozoobenthos plankton sample is poured into white layered tray
in order easier to observe. Individual macrozoobenthos found in the sample is
separated from manure or sediment possibly covering, cleaned, and put in the
bottle filled with alcohol 70% or MAF (methanol-Acetic acid-Formalin). Identification
is using binocular microscope, while bigger individual is put in Bogorov plate, and
identified using low magnification binocular microscope.
Afterward, the specimen is identified using suitable guide book, and its abundance,
diversity and uniformity indices are determined using the equation similar to that of
using in determination of phytoplankton and zooplankton community structure
indices.

Quantitative and qualitative primary and secondary data collecting activity was done
by survey method. Primary data survey is data collecting method done through
observation, in-depth interview, Focus Group Discussion (FGD), recording and direct
visualization of environmental initial condition in project site in order to gain factual
data and condition in the field. Primary data survey instruments include observation,
interview along with questionnaire, in-depth interview with key person, Focus Group
Discussion (FGD), visualization, and cassette recording.
a) Observation
Observation was done to know existing condition of study area, included physical
condition, city’s structure and infrastructure, land use planning, and occurring
problems. From visual observation, study location characteristics can be
identified, thus area characteristics can be also directly identified.
b) Interview with questionnaire
Questionnaire target is respondent determined by purposive proportional
sampling method with the following criteria: samples are communities predicted to
be impacted by the project, lay man, private sector, vendor, as well as formal and
informal leaders. Of the population, 50 households predicted will be impacted by
directly magnitude and significant impact. Key persons are also interviewed by in-
depth interview and focus group discussion to obtain deeply sensitive and
complex problems. Respondent distribution is presented on Table 3.33.
c) In-depth interview
The technique is used to assess critical information and concept intensely. The
target is key person both formal leader as well as informal leader. Interview
instrument is using non structure open questionnaire.
d) Focus Group Discussion
Focus Group Discussion (FGD) is used as a control of primary data collection
using structure questionnaire. According to Richard A. Kruiger (1985); FGD
should be participated by minimum 7 persons and maximum 20 persons, among
participants are not knowing each other, wanting to discuss and outpouring of
opinion, having knowledge and experience on the problem discussed, having a
relation with topic discussed, not knowing that their opinion will be used for
decision maker, using questionnaire focused on particular topic. To avoid
dichotomy perception, ideally, number of participants should be odd; and

2.2. SIGNIFICANT IMPACT PREDICTION METHOD
According to Soemarwoto (1989), prediction can be done through:
a) Prediction of environmental condition at the time twith project = Qdp
b) Prediction of environmental condition at the time W without project = Qtp
Therefore, impact can be predicted as Qdp minus Qtp
The prediction of impact existences is an effort to find the answer on the question of
how much the magnitude of environmental parameter value will be changed due to the
existence of activity plan. Prediction can be done on each environmental parameter.
Impact prediction is done to each environmental parameter. Impact prediction method
adapted, can be grouped into two methods, i.e. formal method, and informal method.
Prediction model adapted, will consist uncertainty aspects, hence in every impact
prediction activity, probability analyses is also involved. Methods include:
1. Mathematical calculation model,
2. Experiment,
3. Visual simulation,
4. Analogy,
5. Professional judgment.
2.2.1. MATHEMATICAL CALCULATION METHOD Mathematical calculation method is the relationship between cause and effect that
represents activity plan impact on environmental parameter, and formulated
quantitatively in the form of quantitative ratio and mathematical model.
2.2.1.1. Air Quality Emission size resulted from mobile sources can be calculated based on emission
factor from WHO Offset Publication No.62, 1982. Air quality parameters of diesel
fuel pollutant emission are shown on Table 2.40.

1. SO2 7.9544 2. NO2 9.2103 3. CO 36.4226 4. Particulate/Dust 2.0095
Emission size = (emission factor) x (Amount of fuel)
Environmental Impact Analysis of Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT. KNI
Chapter II: Method of Study II - 40
2.2.1.2. Noise Prediction of noise distribution in the surrounding environment caused by activity
plan is using the formula:
L2 = L1 – 10 log R2/R1 –Ae, dBA (mobile noise)
L2 = L1 – 20 log R2/R1 –Ae, dBA (static noise)
L2 = Noise level in the distance of R2 from project site, noise source, dBA L1 = Noise level in the distance of R1, dBA R1,R2 = Distance from noise source, m Ae = Noise attenuation caused by air humidity, dBA
2.2.1.3. Water Quality Mixing zone formula is used to predict decreasing water quality due to wastewater:
Cc = (QaCa + QbCb) / (Qa + Qb)
Cc : concentration of water body quality parameter after mixed with wastewater Qa : wastewater debit Ca : concentration of wastewater parameter Qb : water body debit before mixed with wastewater Cb : concentration of water body quality before mixed with wastewater
2.2.1.3. Morbidity
Following is the example of impact prediction calculation of morbidity component
using formal method:
nxP 10 timeparticular in therisk Population
timeparticular in the diseasesrecent andpast of cases Total=
P = Disease prevalence, in this study prevalence is expressed in n = 100
Prevalence is used to know the new cases suffered by disease. This can be known
from the higher disease prevalence compared to that of in the past. Thus, from the
increasing disease prevalence after the project exists, it is possible to predict that
the disease is caused by the project activity.
2.2.2. ANALOGY METHOD Several environmental parameters predicted with analogy approach, are presented
on Table 2.41.

2.2.3. SIGNIFICANT IMPACT PREDICTION Important impact evaluation is done by using 6 criteria of significant impacts
mentioned in the Government Regulation Number 27 year 1999 on EIA. The criteria
are as follows:
1. Amount of community that will be impacted
2. Width of impact distribution
3. Impact intensity and impact duration
4. Amount of environmental components that will be impacted
5. Impact cumulative characteristics
6. Reversible or irreversible impact
Significance impact criteria are determined as follows:
1. If the total P (significant) criteria ≥ 4, the prediction impact is significant
2. If the total P (significant) criteria ≤ 3, however one of P is amount of community
that will be impacted criteria, the prediction impact is significant
3. If the total P (significant) criteria ≤ 3 and amount of community that will be
impacted criteria is not included, the prediction impact is insignificant
2.3. METHOD OF SIGNIFICANT IMPACT EVALUATION
Following impact identification and prediction, for the sake of decision making process
impact evaluation activity is needed. Impact evaluation targets are:
a) To give information of component impacted along with its characteristics and
impact magnitude,
Environmental Impact Analysis of Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT. KNI
Chapter II: Method of Study II - 42
b) To give input to decision maker on component impacted and recommendation to
mitigate such impact.
2.3.1. EVALUATION OF SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
Significant impact evaluation is carried out on activity components causing impact and
environmental component impacted. Evaluation process is holistically initiated by
study and investigation on the significant impact direction and tendency in one system
unit of project activity plan based on impact prediction results, and time scope
(technical time), as well as area study scope border that have been determined.
Impact evaluation is carried out holistically and integrated. Impact evaluation is a total
investigation as a result from impact prediction on component activity causing impact
and environmental component affected by impact (positive/negative) in one unit that
are interrelated and interdependent.
2.3.2. INVESTIGATION AND DIRECTION AS BASES OF MANAGEMENT
Investigation is conducted by using impact flow diagram resulting from impact
prediction. The main components will be used in verification of Interaction matrix
between activity component and environmental component (Modified Leopold
Matrix). Hence, from the interaction matrix, significant primary impact and significant
subsequent/derivative impact: secondary, tertiary impacts etc, as well as impact
causal agents can be evaluated clearly. Results from this evaluation are presented
as a base for determining significant impact that must be managed (Direction for
environmental management plans and environmental monitoring plans).
2.3.3. METHOD OF MODIFIED LEOPOLD MATRIX
Modified Leopold matrix is used to identify, predict, and evaluate activity plan that
impacts on the relatively natural area; and in the surrounding activities emerging
impact do not exist a lot. This matrix method consists of three steps assessment
activities, i.e. impact identification, impact prediction, and impact evaluation.
Based on the determination of important/unimportant impact criteria and category,
final decision of resulted evaluation are determined to distinguish significant impact
of project activity plan on each environmental parameter. The importance level of
impact that will be used, are important/significant impact (P) and
unimportant/insignificant impact (TP).
Environmental Impact Analysis of Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT. KNI
Chapter II: Method of Study II - 43
2.3.4. DISTRIBUTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL PARAMETERS’ VALUE
Parameters that their threshold values are not regulated by environmental quality
standard, their deviation values will be evaluated by comparing these values to the
correctness values mentioned in the literatures or will be referred to expert judging.
2.3.5. EVALUATION RESULTS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL FEASEBILITY DECISSION
In the occasion of using significant impact criteria mentioned in Government
Regulation No 27 year 1999, the criteria cannot be operated in EIA arrangement, due
to additional criteria for significance impact level, environmental quality scale
determination, and significance impact level decision process are still needed.
After the significant impact levels of each activity or environmental components have
been decided, the next steps are needed to determine significances of all activity
components on all environmental components and vice versa. These steps are
necessary as inputs in decision process of environmental feasibility of activity plan.
2.3.6. ALTERNATIVE OF SIGNIFICANCY IMPACT LEVEL CATEGORIZATION
Alternative of significances impact level categorization that can be used
simultaneously is presented in the following flow diagram.

3.3. ACTIVITIES PHASES
3.3.1. LAND PREPARATION PHASE
3.3.1.1. Survey and Measurement
3.3.1.1.1. Mapping of Project Site Situation
Mapping of situation in the form of topography map is done in activity plan site in
around coordinate of 117029’5.7’’ East Longitude and 0010’33.8’’ South Latitude,
bordered with PT Pupuk Kaltim warehouse and PT Pupuk Kaltim Green Belt.
The topography mapping is done in order to know initial morphology condition,
and therefore soil needed for filling activity can be predicted, and elevation
planned can be obtained.
Generally, situation measuring and mapping includes BM & CP concrete pole
posting, horizontal and vertical controlling, and detail situation measuring.
Significant data used to determine Bench Mark coordinates are obtained from
directly measuring in the field. Initial coordinate to control horizontal is taken
through 1:50,000 topography map interpolation with grid system, while initial
azimuth is obtained from sun azimuth measurement. Horizontal control
measurement is done by polygon method. The elevations of all polygon points
are measured; initial reference point for vertical control is taken from BM pole
which its elevation has been known. Measured situation is based on horizontal
and vertical frame network that has been installed, by measuring the
surrounding, and by measuring in the survey area.
3.3.1.1.2. Quarry Plan
Quarry determination is done to get soil filling material that fulfil technical
requirement. Determined location is in the area next to site activity plan which is
located in Lok Tuan Village, exactly in the back of PKT employment Mess in the
coordinate of 552793 longitudes and 19504 latitudes.
As pre-loading material, soil from Palu City, Central Sulawesi Province is chosen
by considering that optimal compaction value will be achieved. Technical
operation of digging soil material in Lok Tuan quarry has to be planned. The plan
includes situation mapping, reserve inventory, and digging soil material plan.
Environmental Impact Analysis of Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT. KNI
Chapter III : Project Description III - 10
a. Mapping of Situation Mapping of situation in the quarry is done similar to that of factory plan site.
Mapping is carried out to obtain initial morphology data and planning elevation
for post digging soil material, from the result reserved soil material can be
calculated, as well as land usage in the phase of post digging soil material can
be planned.
b. Reserve Calculation Reserve inventory is valuably to know the existing soil material in the quarry,
and therefore adequate material that can be used for factory land site
reclamation can be predicted.
c. Digging Planning of Material for Filling Following mapping of situation, reserve calculation, and post digging
elevation determination, then digging activity is planned. Initial point and
digging rate are determined by considering the safety of slope stability, and
reaching out easiness.
3.3.1.2. Labour Recruitment

3.3.1.1. Digging of Material for Filling Digging material in the quarry is done by using heavy duty equipments such as
excavator, bulldozer, and dump truck. Digging is begun from the top of the hill;
forming terrace ring is needed in this activity in order to clearly identify the
location border with its surrounding. Digging is carried out in a particular manner,
i.e. the digging slope is not more than 1:2 to avoid land sliding during and after
digging activities.
3.3.1.2. Transportation of Material for Filling Quarry and land that will be filled are located in industrial estate of PT KIE;
therefore transporting soil material will not pass Public Street. Transportation
uses dump truck, and soil loading to dump truck in the quarry uses excavator.
Sand-gravel will be brought from Palu using barge, unloading will be used
excavator and will be transported by dump truck to land filling location.
3.3.1.3. Land Clearing The location of Ammonia Nitrate Factory PT KNI plan is coastal marsh with
plenty of bush, garbage, and other unused materials, therefore land clearing
has to be done. Land clearing is done by using bulldozer, and due to project site
is coastal marsh grabbing is also done to remove mangrove roots to dumping
area.

Chapter III : Project Description III - 12
3.3.1.5. Land Preparation
Land preparation activities include base camp construction, land clearing,
mangrove roots removing, top higher land cutting, blanket laying, geotextile
laying, land filling, and drainage construction
3.3.1.5.1. Base Camp Construction Base camp construction is needed as equipment spare parts’ storage (spare
parts of equipments used for digging/unloading/filling etc), field administration
activity, labour barrack, and workshop. The base camp is constructed in the
surrounding soil filling activity location.
3.3.1.5.2. Land Filling Activity Considering part of PT. KNI land is coastal marsh, first this part has to be filled
up to higher than seawater surface, thus laying soil material and compacting in
reclamation activity will be easier. Before filling the marsh, safety guard wall
/dike has to be erected in the sea side and in the side bordered with PT. Pupuk
Kaltim industrial complex drainage, hence soil material will not go to the sea or
block the drainage. Due to the west side of the land is higher than other sides,
land cutting has to be done in this part and material resulted for cutting is
moved to the lower part. Reclamation is done from the land direction to the sea,
the reclamation activity includes:
1. Determining outside border of reclamation area through the calculation of
reclamation area slope and height based on coordinates figured on the
map.
2. Determining guard wall/dike trace and dike ground width. The width is
depended on dike slope, dike height, and width of dike top. Slope of
outside dike is 1:5, and slope of inside dike is 1:2. The width of dike top is
4 m, and will function as factory ring road.
3. Filling dike is done in layer and followed by levelling.
4. Drainage with ∅ 1.00 m is installed in the dike, in every 100 m distance, to
drain water for reclamation area.
5. Initial land filling is done using sand-gravel brought from Palu Central
Sulawesi Province, and functions as blanket with the thickness of 0.6 m.
The sand-gravel is transported using barge and unloaded exactly at the
Environmental Impact Analysis of Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT. KNI
Chapter III : Project Description III - 13
end of reclamation area (in the side of Tursina Pier). Sand-stone then is
loaded to dump truck using loader, transported to reclamation site, and
dispersed evenly layer by layer. Sand-gravel granulometry analyses
results that it consists of sand 49.5% and gravel 44.21% with mud in the
concentration of 6.29%.
6. After sand-gravel blanketing has finished, geotextile woven as separator
layer is laid.
7. Following laying blanket and geotextile, is filling land using material from
the quarry in the surrounding Kayu Emasa Street (in the back side of PKT
mess) on the areas C1 and C2 until the elevation of + 101.70, filling is
continued for surcharge until the elevation of + 104.70. Material used for
this filling activity is gradual material with CBR value minimum 5% after 4
days submersion and 100% after compaction compared to dry
compaction according to AASHTO T. 99.
Laying filling material above geotextile is done layer by layer, maximum of
each layer thickness is 20 cm then it is compacted using vibro roller. Before
compaction, it is sprayed with water using water tank truck to obtain the
planned compaction. In the site that vibro roller cannot reach, compaction is
done by using mechanical jumping roller; however the layer thickness should
not more than 15 CM.
3.3.1.5.3. Drainage Construction After reclamation finished, drainage is constructed to flow rain water from
planned factory PT KNI land to drainage system.
3.3.1.5.4. Land Clearing All unused remaining materials such as garbage and other unused materials
are moved from the location in order not to disturb following activities.
3.3.1.5.5. Land Clearing The next step is land usage suitable with the plan of Ammonium Nitrate
Factory PT KNI construction, while ex quarry is used suitable with the plan of
industrial estate of PT KIE.

3.3.2. CONSTRUCTION PHASE
3.3.2.1. Personnel Recruitment
Personnel recruitment in construction phase is around 400 persons. These
personnel will be supplied by construction contractor manager. Personnel
recruited are especially labours, and the priority is local labours suitable with
their specification. Professional personnel will be recruited from outside of the
project location. This activity is temporarily, and will end after construction
activity finished.
Activity recruitment is hopping to give positive impact to the community due to
the job opportunity, effort opportunity, livelihood, and earning will increase.
However, if the amount of local labours do not fulfil the needs or is not
proportional it will give negative perception to the community.
3.3.2.2. Equipment and Construction Material Mobilization
Almost all equipment and material mobilization will use land transportation.
This activity predicted will impact and cause transportation disturbances,
decreasing air quality, increasing noise, decreasing environment convenience
and aesthetic, health disturbance, as well as community negative perception
and attitude.

3.3.3.9. Production Process
The capacity of ammonium nitrate factory is 300,000 tonnes / year. The
factory has two activities, i.e. nitric acid unit production and ammonium nitrate
unit production. In general, PT KNI collaborates with vendor that has
reputation internationally and has a good knowledge in ammonium nitrate
production process. Ammonium nitrate both its specification and quality can
be accepted in market area. The factory in its activity will be designed by
considering on well safety factors and well standards. Maximal energy
recovery along with emission and effluent minimization will be adopted as far
as it is economically practicable.
The ammonium nitrate unit production/plant is planned to work continually
with only minimal interruption production time used for equipment
maintenance and regular cleaning of ammonium nitrate dry end plant.
3.3.3.9.1. Nitric Acid Plant
Almost all commercial quantities of nitric acid are manufactured by the
oxidation of ammonia with air to form nitrogen oxides that are absorbed in
water to form nitric acid. PT KNI will employ a weak acid (sub azeotropic)
process to produce Nitric Acid at 60% for Ammonium Nitrate production.
Historically, there is difference philosophy in nitric acid factory design
between USA and Europe that has led to the development of two basic
types of weak acid plants: the high mono pressure and the dual pressure
processes. USA is more favourable to high mono pressure process due to
its lower capital cost (10-15% lower than the dual pressure process), and
traditionally lower energy and ammonia prices. While Europe is more
favourable to dual pressure process due to allowable capital payback
periods and energy costs have traditionally higher causing the process has
evolved giving lower ammonia feedstock usage and lower emission.
PT KNI proposes to use dual pressure process design, and plans to
produce at least 700 tonnes / day to fulfil the needs of nitric acid for
ammonium nitrate production.
Environmental Impact Analysis of Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT. KNI
Chapter III : Project Description III - 21
Dual Pressure Process Description
The process is using medium pressure (0.3 – 0.6 MPa) front end for
ammonia oxidation, and high pressure (1.1 – 1.5 MPa) tail end for
absorption purposes. Compared to high mono pressure plant, oxidation
process in dual pressure is using lower pressure and as a result it will relate
to higher nitric oxide yields and catalyst performance. Losing platinum will
be significantly lower and therefore catalyst will have longer time thus the
production time also will be longer. Reduced pressure also results in weaker
nitric acid condensate from the cooler condenser, which helps to improve
absorber performance. Due to the split in operating conditions, the dual-
pressure process requires a specialized stainless steel NOx compressor.
Ammonia will be reacted with air on platinum/rhodium alloy catalysts in an
Ammonia Converter. Nitric oxide and water are formed in this process
according to the main equation:
4NH3 + 5O2 –––––> 4NO + 6H2O (1)
Simultaneously nitrous oxide, nitrogen and water are formed as well, in
accordance with the following equations:
4NH3 + 3O2 –––––> 2N2 + 6H2O (2)
4NH3 + 4O2 –––––> 2N2O + 6H2O (3)
It will be important to maintain the reaction temperature between 850 –
940oC to minimise combustion of ammonia and loss of rhodium at high
temperature and to minimise the preferential formation of N2O at low
temperatures to maximise nitric oxide yield.
The catalyst will consist of several woven or knitted gauzes formed from
wire containing about 90% platinum alloyed with rhodium for greater
strength and may contain palladium. Air pollution and contamination from
the ammonia can poison the catalyst. This effect, as well as poor ammonia-
air mixing and poor gas distribution across the catalyst, may reduce the
yield by 10%.
The enthalpy of the hot reaction gases will be used to produce steam and/or
to preheat the waste gas (tail gas). The heated waste gas is emitted to the
atmosphere through a gas turbine for energy recovery. This will cool the
Environmental Impact Analysis of Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT. KNI
Chapter III : Project Description III - 22
reaction gas to 100 to 200 °C. The reaction gas will then be further cooled
with water. The water produced in reactions (1) to (3) is then condensed in a
cooler-condenser and transferred to the absorption column.
Nitric oxide is oxidised to nitrogen dioxide as the combustion gases are
cooled, according to the equation:
2NO + O2 <——-> 2NO2 (4)
For this purpose, more air will be injected into the gas mixture obtained from
the ammonia oxidation. This air will be regulated so that the normal oxygen
content of the waste gas leaving the plant is between 2 and 4% by volume.
The absorber will be operated with a counter-current flow of water. The
absorption of the nitrogen dioxide and its reaction to nitric acid and nitric
oxide take place simultaneously in the gaseous and liquid phases according
to equations (4) and (5). These reactions depend on pressure and
temperature to a large extent and are favoured by higher pressure and
lower temperature.
3NO2 + H2O <——-> 2HNO3 + NO -46kJmol-1 NO2 (5)
Reaction (5) is exothermic and continuous cooling will be required within the
absorber. As the conversion of NO to NO2 is favoured by low temperature,
this reaction will take place significantly until the gases leave the absorption
column. The nitric acid produced in the absorber contains dissolved nitrogen
oxides and is then bleached by the secondary air.
Feed Preparation
Liquid ammonia from storage will be evaporated using water or condensate
and superheated to prevent any liquid carry-over. Gaseous ammonia will be
filtered to remove any rust from carbon steel equipment. Trace iron can
promote the decomposition of ammonia before it reaches the gauze. High
purity air will be obtained by using two or three stage filtration. An air
compressor will be driven by a tail gas expander and by a condensing
steam turbine. A static mixer will be used to produce a high quality mixture,
which is essential to maintain good catalyst operation. The concentration of
NH3 in the feed gas will be maintained between 10 to 11% by volume to
avoid the LEL of ammonia (The LEL of ammonia is about 15% at 25 C but
Environmental Impact Analysis of Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT. KNI
Chapter III : Project Description III - 23
decreases with increasing temperature, and possibly with increasing
pressure although Keleti states LEL is constant in the range 1 to 10 bar at
25 C 13.8% vol at atmospheric pressure).
Ammonia Converter Section
The ammonia converter will be designed to give a uniform distribution of the
air/ammonia mixture over the catalyst gauzes. Maintenance of the catalyst
operating temperature is very important for the NO yield. This will be is
achieved by adjusting the air/ammonia ratio and ensuring that the lower
explosive limit for ammonia in air is not exceeded. Conversion of ammonia
to nitric oxide using a platinum based catalyst is high (93–98%). The
optimum reaction temperature for conversion efficiency increases with
operating pressure. Overall, the combination of higher operation pressure
and temperature results in decreased conversion efficiency. Some of the
platinum and rhodium will vaporise during the reaction process and a
recovery system will be installed below the catalyst. This will provide for up
to 60 to 80% recovery of the total catalyst losses. Ultimately catalyst will
need to be replaced. The ammonia converter will probably be the upper
part of a vessel that also contains the first heat recovery section (steam
super heater and steam generator). A set of gas/gas heat exchangers will
transfer the energy from the gas leaving the boiler set, to the tail gas that
will be used to drive the expander.
NOx compression section
The cooled gases leaving the heat recovery section will be further cooled
and then mixed with the air and nitrogen oxides from the bleaching of the
acid solution and then compressed to a higher pressure for the absorption
stage. The heat of compression will be removed from the compressed
gases by heat recovery into the tail gas or the boiler feed water.
Conversion of NO to NO2 is slow and increasing the pressure in this section
means that reductions in equipment and handling system size can be
achieved without impacting on the residence time required optimising
conversion. Following compression, a second cooler condenser will reduce
the temperature of the gases to about 50°C and the acid solution formed
will be returned to the absorber.
Environmental Impact Analysis of Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT. KNI
Chapter III : Project Description III - 24
Absorption Section
The cooled process gas will be fed to a sieve tray absorber where it is
absorbed into demineralised water and condensate. The rate of water flow
is manipulated to produce 60% acid. The acid solution from the absorption
section will be passed to a bleach column, where it will be stripped of the
nitrogen oxides by a flow of air from the air compressor. The air and the
stripped nitrogen oxides will return to the absorber.
NOx Abatement
Abatement of NOx will be achieved by catalytic reduction with ammonia or
natural gas. This will reduce NOx concentrations in the vented tail gas to
below allowable discharge limits.
Nitric Acid Storage
Intermediate storage of Nitric Acid will be provided to service the
Ammonium Nitrate Plant. The storage capacity will be sufficient to allow the
AN Neutralisation Plant to: operate normally should the Nitric Acid Plant
experience a temporary disruption to its production rate or to reduce
production gradually if Nitric Acid Plant production stops due to an incident
or failure. A nominal storage capacity of 1500 tonnes as either one or two
tanks of 60 % (by weight) nitric acid has been allowed for this purpose but
final capacity is yet to be confirmed. The NA storage tank area may have its
own bund and sump, or alternatively be of the double wall type to ensure
containment. Effluent from the Nitric acid plant bonded areas will be treated
in a common treatment facility.
3.3.3.9.2. Ammonium Nitrate Plant
Three steps are essential to ammonium nitrate manufacture: neutralization
of nitric acid with ammonia to produce a concentrated solution; evaporation
to give a melt; and processing by prilling or granulation to give the
commercial solid product.
Neutralisation Ammonium Nitrate solution will be produced by the instantaneous,
exothermic reaction between nitric acid and gaseous ammonia according to
the following equation:
Environmental Impact Analysis of Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT. KNI
Chapter III : Project Description III - 25
NH3 (g) + HNO3 (aq) -> NH4 NO3 (aq) + Heat
The reaction will be conducted in a well mixed, low inventory reactor to
avoid localised overheating. The temperature in the reactor will be
regulated by the addition rate of feeds and by the removal of heat. The
steam which is evaporated by the heat of reaction will be separated from
the AN solution in the Vapour Separator. This process steam will then be
processed to remove entrained ammonium nitrate and ammonia before it is
used to preheat the ammonia and nitric acid feed streams. Excess steam
will be condensed. Condensate will be recovered and used to feed the
Nitric Acid Plant Absorber. The AN solution will drain from the Vapour
Separator into the AN Solution Tank. The concentration of the AN solution
in the AN Solution Tank will be maintained at 76 to 92% w/w.
Evaporation
The AN solution will be pumped to a falling film evaporator which will use
steam to facilitate evaporation of water and concentrate the AN solution to
greater than 95% w/w. The Evaporator will operate under a vacuum to
assist with concentration and the temperature of the AN solution will be
maintained at about 140oC. The process steam resulting from the
concentrating of the solution will pass through a vapour separator where it
will then be scrubbed to remove volatile impurities before it is condensed
and recovered in the condensate tank. The concentrated AN solution will
flow from the Evaporator into the Prilling Feed Tank. It will then be pumped
to the Prill Tower Head Tank. An additive may be added to the process to
improve the quality of the prilled product.
Prilling
Prilling is the formation of a rounded, granular solid by allowing molten
droplets to fall through an air-cooling medium. Prilling of ammonium nitrate
involves spraying the concentrated solution into the top of a large tower.
The descending droplets are cooled by an upward flow of air, solidifying into
spherical prills that are collected at the bottom. The process yields particles
that vary in size depending on the residual moisture of solution, air
temperature, and flow rate. Low density 770 kg/m3 prills, favoured for use
in ammonium nitrate–fuel oil blasting agents, are produced by spraying
Environmental Impact Analysis of Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT. KNI
Chapter III : Project Description III - 26
ammonium nitrate solutions into towers 33 to 60 m high. The porous
product produced promotes propagation of detonation and allows for a
higher fuel oil loading. As the droplets fall through the tower an upward
stream of cooling air will cause the melt to solidify into spherical prills.
Cooling air will be recycled through the Prilling Air Scrubber where it is both
scrubbed and cooled before it is re-introduced into the Prill Tower. The
Prilling Air Scrubber will remove residual AN dust and ammonia.
Approximately 10% of the scrubbed air (which will contain <15 mg/Nm3 AN)
will be vented to the Final Scrubber to maintain the Prill Tower Air system
under a slight vacuum.
Drying and Recycle
The warm prilled product will be passed over a screen in the Prill Tower Exit
Conveyor before it enters a Pre Drier followed by a Drier. Lumps from the
screen will be dissolved and recycled either back to the process or sent to
the Fertiliser Plant. The AN Prills will be dried and cooled using
dehumidified air. The drying will consist of two stages; preliminary drying
using cool air flowing co current to the prills followed by final drying using
warm air flowing counter current to the prills. This arrangement will optimize
moisture removal and minimise product breakdown. Dust from the drying
process will be dissolved in a re-dissolving tank. The drying/cooling air will
be scrubbed in the Final Scrubber to remove AN particulates (to <15
mg/Nm3 AN) before passing to atmosphere. The prills will then be screened
by the Dried Product Screen where over and under-size material will be
removed. The over and under-size material will be re-dissolved in the AN
prilling feed tank. The correctly sized prills will be cooled using dehumidified
air in a Product Cooler. Air from the Product Cooler will be used to dry the
prills in the Drier, thereby providing dehumidified air for the drier and
minimising the amount of air to be scrubbed. The cooled prills will be coated
with coating agent in a Product Coating Drum to improve handling
characteristics. The prills will then be conveyed either to a 1000 tonne bulk
store (if such a store is required) or direct to bag or container filling. The
prills from the bulk store will be screened on Vibrating Screens to remove
fines and lumps before loading into 1.2 tonne bags or 20 tonne containers.
Environmental Impact Analysis of Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT. KNI
Chapter III : Project Description III - 27
The reject material will be bagged and dispatched as a lower grade product,
or dissolved for fertiliser.
Fertilizer Solutions
Wherever practicable Ammonium Nitrate plant effluent that is not
contaminated will be recovered rather than passing to effluent and will be
used to make either 60% AN solution or Urea Ammonium Nitrate (UAN)
both of which are excellent fertilisers. The various sources will be collected
in a Fertiliser Liquor Storage Tank, then pumped to a Fertiliser Concentrator
where the solution is concentrated to 60-65% w/w and held in a storage
tank. If UAN is made, urea will then be added to this solution and the
fertiliser despatched by road tanker or isotainer. Out of specification AN prill
either from production or returned from customers and which cannot be
blended back into the product stream, will be dissolved at the fertiliser plant
and used to make fertiliser.
3.3.3.9.3. AMMONIUM NITRATE STORAGE AND LOGISTICS
In principle it will be preferred if a prill bulk store and reclaim facility can be
avoided, and wet end designed to ensure minimum off spec product at
start-up and maximum turndown should assist this situation. If however a
bulk store is required, then it will be of minimum practical size for production
continuity, and equipped with air conditioning due to the high ambient
humidity. Product will initially be loaded into 1.2 tonne bags only, but it is
envisaged that in future AN may also be despatched as solution in
isotainers or as bulk or bags of prill in shipping containers. For bagged prill
it is envisaged that two 100% prill bagging lines will be provided, with
sufficient over capacity to enable smooth and reliable operation and some
catch up ability. The size of bagging machine feeding hoppers will be
minimised to reduce prill inventory but on a practical basis for reliability of
operation. It is also intended that the hoppers be installed below the roofline
so as not to be visible from above. If practical, filling and conveying lines will
handle bags without the use of pallets, to avoid having pallets in the bag
store. Conveying equipment for the full bags from either filling line will be
provided such that bags are transported via conveyors to designated
accumulation areas at several locations on the north side of the bag store.
Environmental Impact Analysis of Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT. KNI
Chapter III : Project Description III - 28
This is to minimise the travel distance for forklifts transferring two bags at a
time to storage piles. The accumulation location used each day will vary
based on the part of the store being filled. A total on site storage capacity of
up to 10,000 tonnes of bagged AN is envisaged with average operating
volume of about 5,000 tonnes. This will enable sufficient stock to be
compiled for ship loading, and provide a minimal buffer to allow for late
ships or loading delays on the shared wharf. Frequent shutdowns due to full
storage should thus be avoided. Conveying equipment to transfer full bags
from the store to trucks, for transport to the wharf, will be provided. The
concept envisaged is that two forklifts will transfer bags from the storage
piles to conveyors which will run from half way down each end of the
building on the south side of the bag store to accumulation areas either side
of a centrally located 10 bag pickup marshalling area. 10 bags at a time (5
by 2 grid) will then be loaded via overhead crane onto purpose built low
level trailers which will be towed by tractor or similar vehicle to the wharf.
Approximately six of these tractor/trailer units will circulate to keep the
ship’s crane fully occupied. The existing Tursina Wharf will be used to
dispatch AN. As this is a shared wharf and other activities such as urea
loading will be ongoing at the same time, AN loading will be physically
segregated by temporary barriers to ensure security is maintained.
Assuming approximately 3,000 to 5,000 tonne shiploads of prill there will be
a requirement for 2 -3 shipments per month. Means of transferring bulk
bags and containers of prill between the plant and the jetty is envisaged to
be by flat bed tractor/trailer units in 10 bag lots and it is expected that 200 -
300 trailer movements will be required for each shipment. It is expected that
the ship's crane or a mobile crane will be used to move AN bags or
isotainers and containers from the jetty into the ship's hull. It typically takes
several days to load a ship, and further investigation will be undertaken to
assess loading methods and loading rates consistent with existing jetty
utilisation and the available window for ship loading. Vehicle fuelling
facilities will be provided for the store to ship and other loading activities
require at the site. Bagged prill or isotainers may also be transferred via flat
bed truck to local mine sites if road condition permits. Heavy lift (container)
and general duty forklifts will be required at the factory and jetty and if a
Environmental Impact Analysis of Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT. KNI
Chapter III : Project Description III - 29
bulk system is required, front end loaders will also be necessary to load prill
into the reclaim system.
3.3.3.9.4. Liquid Effluent Treatment and Discharge
Process effluent
Where recovery and recycle of lost LDAN product is not possible, and it
cannot be sent for fertiliser manufacture, liquid effluent will pass to a
treatment plant. Effluent from all other contained plant areas is also
transferred to the same treatment plant. The plant is conceptually the same
as that successfully operated at Orica’s Yarwun plant in Australia, and
consists of two batch storage tanks, which receive effluent in turn from the
various plant areas. The effluent is collected in double contained pits in
each area and pumped via overhead pipe systems to a two tank batch
effluent pre-treatment system prior to transfer to KIE treatment and
discharge ponds. Effluent pits at oil contaminated locations are triple
separator type to allow oil capture. Above ground effluent tanks are
preferred to avoid issues due to long term site settlement and allow for
inspection for leakage. The effluent is monitored for TSS, pH, nitrate and
ammonia and is treated with caustic and/or hydrochloric acid on a batch
basis as required, before it is pumped to KIE. It is expected that the effluent
would also be monitored at KIE for the same analyses to ensure it is within
KIE licensed parameters before discharge to sea.
Seawater Cooler Discharge
Seawater discharge from the cooling tower basin will be discharged into the
sea through a new outfall pipe at the east side of the site with a salinity level
approximately 1.5 times that of inlet seawater, and containing residual
treatment chemicals. Due to the use of a cooling tower, the discharge flow is
very low compared to the flow of a once through system, and minor in
comparison to flows coming from the existing seawater races. The
discharged seawater is therefore expected to blend quickly and have little
effect on existing water quality in the area.
Environmental Impact Analysis of Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT. KNI
Chapter III : Project Description III - 30
Gas Emission
The main sources of gaseous emissions from the nitric acid plant are the
main plant stacks the ammonia vent stack and the ammonia scrubber stack.
The main nitric acid plant stack is essentially unreacted air (primarily
Nitrogen) from the nitric acid manufacture process, containing NOx and
other contaminants. This stack is elevated to aid dispersion and thereby
minimise ground level concentrations, and generally supported by the
structure for the absorber column. The actual height is to be confirmed by
dispersion calculations based on the actual wind data and layout of the site,
but will be above the height of the absorber. It is normal during start-up of
the NA plant that this stack emits a visible brown plume until the plant
reaches temperature, after which time the plume is invisible. During
shutdown it is also common for NOx readings to rise in the stack as the
absorber tray liquid inventory drops, and this may also cause a small visible
plume during the initial shutdown phase until air flow ceases entirely. The
number of shutdowns and start-ups will vary depending on such issues as
the supply reliability of utilities and frequency and severity of electrical
storms. Shutdowns due to these types of issues will be additive to the
approximately 10 shutdowns required per year for production and
maintenance purposes.
The ammonia vent stack is located alongside the main vent stack to give it
support and provide access, and is used to collect and vent ammonia from
large relief valves where scrubbing of the emissions would be impractical.
Normally there is no flow through this stack, and in the event of its use due
to process upset or malfunction the process would be shut down as soon as
practical. A separate ammonia scrubbing system is provided to handle
emissions from small hydrostatic relief valves and for controlled venting as
required to access equipment for maintenance.

4.1.2. SCOPING PROCESS
4.1.2.1. Potential Impact Identification
Potential impact identification includes primary, secondary, and tertiary
impacts which potentially will emerge as results from Ammonium nitrate
factory construction activity. Potential impact identification is done through
potential impact inventory without viewing impact magnitude or significant-
insignificant impact. The identification is using methods of consultation and
discussion with expert, initiator, and related institution. Besides consultation
and discussion, methods including test inventory, simple interaction matrix,
flow diagram, references study, field observation, content analyses, and group
interaction are also used. Impact flow diagram and impact identification matrix
are presented on Figure 4.1, Figure 4.2, Figure 4.3 and Table 4.1.
4.1.2.2. Potential Impact Evaluation
Results of potential impact identification then are evaluated to obtain
hypothetic significant impact. Potential impact evaluation is carried out to filter
irrelevant or insignificant potential impacts. Impacts then are listed based on
community, related institution, and expert considerations, but the list has not
been directed systematically. Method used in the impact evaluation is group
interaction involved initiator represented by consultant, related institution, and
the community. Impact evaluation matrix is presented on Table 4.2
4.1.2.3. Classification and Priority
Impact classification and priority is aimed to focus the classification and the
priority of hypothetic significant impact that will be assessed. The hypothetic
significant impact is resulted from potential impact evaluation. Hypothetic
significant impact classification and priority is performed through two stages.
Firstly, significant impacts are grouped according to impacts interrelation.
Secondly, the significant impacts that have been grouped then are listed
according to their importance, both economically, socially, or ecologically.
Classification and priority of significant impact matrix is presented on Table

5.1.2. AIR QUALITY The initial environment condition measurement is aimed to know the condition
before affected by certain project activity that will emerge impacts to the
environment.
Air samples in this study are taken from 4 sites by considering: (1) Located in the
street area. From this area, in the location of Post 7, one sample is taken (U-1);
(2) Located in industry area which is presented by Tursina warehouse. From this
area, one sample is taken (U-2); Located in settlement area which is presented
by Tursina Camp. From this area, one sample is taken (U-3); and (4) Located in
the project site. From this area, one sample is taken (U-4).
Laboratory samples analyses results are presented on Table 5.2.

Laboratory results of sample analyses indicate that ambient air quality
parameters in the study area are still in the range of air quality standard
recommended by East Kalimantan Governor in its Decree number 339 year
1998. Ambient air odour quality parameter is also in the range of odour standard
according to Decree of State Minister of the Environment Number
50/MENLH/11/1996. (Scale 5)
Air quality parameters measured in the study area are resulted from
anthropogenic activities, while the contribution of natural pollutant can be said as
insignificant. The anthropogenic activities include industrial, transportation, and
domestic settlement activities.

Chapter V: Environment Initial Condition V - 7
Environment air quality represented by points U-1 and U-3 is still in the range of
air quality standard. CO parameter in point U-1 and NO2 parameter in point U-3
are higher than those of in the other sampling points. The higher concentrations
in these points are possibly resulted from gas distribution coming from industrial
estate of PT KIE and PT Pupuk Kaltim, as well as from high transportation
activities occurred in the areas. However, the main possibility source of CO and
NO2 pollutions is transportation activities because these parameters are usually
resulted from burning fossil fuels.
5.1.3. NOISE
Noise level can be affected by mobile and immobile sources. Activities that can
be noise sources and have operated in industrial estate of PT KIE include
factories, offices, warehouses, wharf, and transportation. Settlement noise
standard according to Kep/48/MenLH/1996 is 55 dBA with the tolerancy of ± 3
dBA, while the standard in industrial estate is 70 dBA. Noise easement sampled
in 5 locations in the study area resulted that noise levels are still in the range of
recommended standard.

5.1.4. Water Quality
Initial environmental condition measurement has to be done. Measuring results
are used as baseline data before activities operate. Water quality in initial
condition of the study area is sampled in 6 point sampling sites. Sampling site is
determined based on: waters condition in the locations i.e. Seawaters in the
surrounding Tursina Pier/Warf that functions as receiver water include seawaters
in the south side of Tursina Warf (point A-1), seawaters in Tursina Warf (point A-
3), and seawaters in the surrounding project site (point A-4). Groundwater and
well water samples are represented by PT PKT treated waters that originally are

from PT. Petrosea (point A-2) groundwater; domestic drainage in the north side
of project site (point A-5); and water from project site (point A-6).
Seawaters analyses resulted that physical-chemical seawaters quality is
still in the range of standard according to Decree of State Minister of the
Environmnet Number 51 year 2004 on Seawaters standard for Harbour
seawaters.

Chapter V: Environment Initial Condition V - 9
Several parameters that have elevated the standard are pH, free
ammoniac, and zinc. These can be explained that the seawaters in the
surrounding industrial estate of PT KIE function as receiver runoff from
water used for water cooler and chemical pond’s effluent, while PT Pupuk
Kaltim and other factories located in PT KIE industrial estate are basically
ammoniac industries. Ammoniac is a weak base, and will release hydroxyl
ion in the water causing water pH slightly increasing. Similar to that
explained above, occurring ammoniac runoff in the seawater from
chemical pond will increase seawater pH and free ammoniac
concentration.
The occurring sulphide, oil and grease, as well as ammoniac in points A-5
and A-6 is possibly formed due to disintegration process of organic
compound consisted in plants, woods, and other organic compounds.
These materials are moving with water runoff to the sea, degraded an
aerobically in the seawaters, and forming sulphide. While ammoniac is
possibly coming from industrial activities that ammoniac base. Whereas
oil and grease are probably coming from domestic activities which
discharge oil into drainage.

Generally, well water quality in the study area is still in a good condition.
This indicates by sample laboratory analyses results which are still in the
range of recommended standard.
5.1.5. HYDROOCEANOGRAPHY
In general, river stream pattern in Bontang City is directing from west to the east,
and empties in Bontang Bay. Several rivers in Bontang City are Bontang,
Santan, Sekambing, Nyerakat, Guntung, Palakan, and Busuk Rivers. These
rivers are dendritic and trellis stream patterns, and crossing rocky layers in
Kampung Baru Formation.
Environmental Impact Analysis of Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT. KNI
Chapter V: Environment Initial Condition V - 11
Therefore, these rivers have important roles as water supplier of ground water
aquifer layers in Kampung Baru Formation. Groundwater is usually experienced
self balancing, even though the water is taken through deep well, however until
now the groundwater is still in stable condition. On the other hands, by the time
groundwater surface is lower than river, water from aquifer will enter the river,
but it is rarely occurred considering the over flow existence and the river is not
waterless during dry season.
Trelis stream pattern in the west side occurs in Palakan River as main river
running from north to the south, and its short river branches running from east to
the west.
Palakan River stream direction is parallel with the direction of rocky layers
causing river subsequent type, while river branches are consequent types and
laid in west wing and east anticline.
River sub-parallel type occurs in south east side and generally running from
north west to south east and empties in the main river that runs from south west
to north east.
In general, river consequent type is laid on anticline api-api east wing. This river
with sub-parallel pattern is laid on morphology unit with slope slightly, wide
valley, and classified as mature staid. Downstreams of Santan and Bontang
Rivers have been meandered with side erosion direction, and forming valley
reflected mature stadia.
From all rivers, only Santan, Bontang, Nyerakat, and Guntung Rivers have
consequent type, run across Kampung Baru Formation, and role as supplier for
Bontang suppressed groundwater.
Hydro-oceanography condition related to reclamation activity in the project site
are bathymetry, bottom sediment, stream, rise and fall, tide and seawater quality
both physically such as temperature, salinity, clearness, and suspended solid
(MPT) as well as chemically and biologically.
Physical oceanography parameter data resulted from measurement are
presented on Table 5.6. While measurement location map is shown in Figure 5.2.

5.1.5.1. Bathymetry
Based on deep water measurement, the seawater project site has depth
between 2.4 – 12.5 m. The deepest is in Tursina Warf, i.e. 12.5 m and the
shallowest is in the surrounding settlement drainage mouth. The sea bordered
with project site is forming a small bay which sticks out to the land and roles as
settlement and PT PKT water cooler drainages receiver.
5.1.5.2. Sediment bottom
Sediment in the bottom of seawater in the surrounding PT KNI Ammonium
Nitrate Factory is clay silt. In the part side of the sediment contains organic
residue causing dark colour clay consisted of crumble terrestrial flora. A
sediment granulometry analysis indicates clay concentration of 30 – 40 %, silt
56 - 64 %, and sand 3 – 6 %. Results show the sediment melting limit is 60,
and plasticity index 28-31. Based on AASHTO classification litho logically is
grouped as class of A-7, while according to USCS classification is grouped as
CH class. This indicates that the sediment consists of clay and silt and plastic
characteristics. Resulting laboratory analyses are presented on Table 5.6.

Wave is sea surface up and down moving due to wind blow in the sea surface.
Directly wind blow that will cause sea wave in the surrounding project site is
insignificant due to the site is a bay that leads the seawaters concealed from
wind blow. Karang Segajah and several small islands located in bay mouth
have also concealed the bay from wind blow. Based on Dishidros (2002)
measurement, wave height in this area is in the range of 30 – 50 cm with the
period of 2 – 5 seconds, and wave length of 40 – 120 cm.
5.1.5.4. Stream Seawaters stream in the project site is dominated by tidal rise and fall and
stream caused by discharging water from cooling water system of PT PKT
fertilizer factory. In the condition lowest tidal fall, the stream will be away to the
open sea.
Based on a model resulted from data verification measured in the field, during
tidal rise directs to fall the stream dominantly directs to the south east up to
south (N120°E - N180°E) with the velocity of 0.03 up to 0.09 m/sec. By the
time fall directs to rise, the stream will be back to the land and dominated by
west – north west direction (N280°E – N300°E) with the velocity of 0.03 up to
0.11 m/sec (Figure 5.3 and Figure 5.4)
.

Stream direction during west monsoon and east monsoon is not different,
dominantly by north west – south east direction depended on rise and fall.
However in west monsoon stream is slightly higher compared to that of in east
monsoon as it is shown in stream rose (Figure 5.5).

5.1.5.5. Tidal Rise and Fall
Tidal rise and fall is a natural process that forms sea surface rising and falling
occurs consistently as a result from outer space material gravitation especially
moon and sun. Due to the earth simultaneously rotates and moves around the
sun, and also moon moves around the earth in a coordination process, thus
the outer space material position will change consistently causing changes in
gravitation and as a consequence to follow the process above consistent
changing in tidal rise and fall will also occurs.
Daily sea surface rise and fall frequency is different from one site to another
site determining rise and fall type of particular site. If the seawaters experience
one time rise and one time fall in a day, the area is called as daily single rise-
fall type. If the seawaters experience two times rises and two times falls, the
area is called as daily dual rise-fall type. Other type is the shifting from single
type to dual type known as mixed tidal rise and fall.
Rise and fall measurement results from 29 observation points are analyzed
using admiralty method, and resulting harmony constante of rise tidal
behaviour as follows:

Based on the calculation, tidal rise and fall type can be determined by
comparing main single rise-fall component amplitude to main dual rise-fall
component amplitude known as Formzahl numeral, using the following
equation:
22

SMKO
F++
=
F : Formzahl numeral
O1 : main single rise-fall component amplitude cause by moon gravity
K1 : main single rise-fall component amplitude cause by sun gravity
M2 : main dual rise-fall component amplitude cause by moon gravity
S2 : main dual rise-fall component amplitude cause by sun gravity
Rise-fall type determination based on F value category, if F:
< 0,25 : dual type rise-fall
0,26 – 1,50 : mixed type rise-fall with dual type distinction
1,51 – 3,00 : mixed type rise-fall with single type distinction
> 3,01 : single type rise-fall
Due to the value of F = (19 + 14) / (56 + 41) = 0.34, thus tidal rise and fall type
in the study area is mixed with tends to mixed semi diurnal indicating in the
survey area there are two times rises and two times falls in each day (Fig 5.6.).

Seawater temperature in the study area is in between 33° to 37.9°C with
higher temperature distribution in the shore and gradually lesser to the sea.
This occurs due to discharging water from cooling system to the sea causes
the sea temperature in outfall site higher than that of in other parts. Even
though along with the stream the hot water is moved to the sea, however due
to the seawater volume is huge causing rapid heat dispersion process until 300
m distance in the sea, thus the temperature decreases to 33°C.
5.1.5.7. Clearness Clearness indicates the ability of sunshine to penetrate water body. The bigger
the clearness value, the clearer the seawaters and the suspended sediment is
much lesser. Clearness value is in between 1.25 to 2.42 m. Clearness value ≥
2.24 m are found in the seawaters surrounding Tursina Warf with the depth of
- 10 to -12,5 m LWS, and in shipping path directing to the open sea. In the
shallower seawater i.e. in the shore and mangrove area, the clearness value is
1.25-1.60 m due to the bottom material is dominated by clay, while the sea
depth < 3m results the bottom material easy to suspend in the water body.
5.1.6. TOPOGRAPHY AND MORPHOLOGY
PT KNI Ammonium nitrate factory location is included in coastal plain
morphology, in the part that borders with the sea is coastal marsh, and in other
parts borders with PT PKT warehouse and green belt. Coastal marsh is filled by
brackish water with depth < 1.5 m. Elevation difference between coastal marsh
basin and plain area in the north side is in the range of 1.5-3 m (Figure 5.8).
Based on this condition, volume of filling materials needed for land reclamation
up to the elevation of 3.7 from sea surface is 86.500 m3.
While quarry area located in the back side of PKT Mess, is included in hill slope
slightly morphology. However, part of the site has been dredged and flatted.
Morphologically, Bontang City forms steeply hill, hill with slope slightly and
coastal plain. Topographically, Bontang City has height of 0-300 m from sea
surface, with the various slopes from east and south coastal to the west. Area
with slopes 0-2% is in south side of coastal area with the height of 0-15 m from
sea surface. In the west side directing to East Kutai Regency the slope is 25-
40%, with the height 25-105 m fro sea surface.

Chapter V: Environment Initial Condition V - 20
More direction to the west, the land slope is much steeper until > 40%. Based on
morphology condition, Bontang City can be grouped in three main units, hill
steeply slope morphology, hill slope slightly morphology, and coastal plain
morphology.
5.1.6.1. Hill Steeply slope morphology This morphology unit places the biggest part, forms anticlinorium’s hill with the
spine hills as the axis, and lays from north to the south. The topography is hilly
and valley, with the top height is in the range of 50-300 m from sea surface,
and slope is 26o and even in several parts the slope reaches 85o. The steeply
hill is formed by sediment rock included in Panaluan, Pulaubalang, and
Balikpapan Formations. Rock physical characteristics are similar, i.e. rocks of
silt, clay, and massive and stiff fragment however loosely in open slope
causing easy to erode.
5.1.6.2. Hill slightly slope morphology The morphology is laid from north to the south. The morphology unit forms hills
with slope slightly, and valleys are located between wide hills, and inside there
are small rivers and swamp. The morphology unit heights between 25-80 m
from the sea surface, and gradually down from the west to the east. Slopes are
in the range of 5-15% and relatively steep in narrow area. Hills morphology is
formed by rocks from Kampung Baru Formation and as the wing of east side
anticline api-api that axis north-south. The morphology is structured by
alternation layer of fragment, clay, silt sand, and several coal insertions. The
fragment is hard, however in open air the fragment is easy to break and fragile.
Clay is stiff to soft, sand granule is fine to gravel, especially quartz sand with
loosely and permeable characteristics. In open slope due to digging activity or
naturally exist, in the part of steeply valley, erosion path and ditch are found as
a result from rain erosion, and this site indicates sliding sign.

5.1.6.3. Coastal plain morphology This morphology unit places in east side and parallel with coastal line. The
area is mostly mangrove with height between 0-10 m from sea surface. Slope
in this area is not more than 2%, and gradually lower directing to the east.
Coastal morphology is formed by alluvial sediment with usually consisted by
clay inserted by sand and gravel contained plant residue/humus. Clay is soft,
while sand and gravel is loosely.
5.1.7. SOIL TYPE Regionally, Bontang City geology is included in Kutai sub-basin, in east side is
physically bordered with Makasar Straits, south side with Santan River, west
side with Lobang Batik Mountains, and north side with Tempuruk River.
Lithologically, Bontang rock formation contains alluvial sediment, Kampung Baru,
Balikpapan, Pulaubalang, Bebulu, and Panaluan Formations (Figure 5.8). The
lithology of each formation are explained as follows.
1. Alluvial sediment The sediment consists of gravels, clay and silt resulted from river, swamp,
coastal, and delta sedimentations. The sediment has significant layer border
with its down formation. The layer distributes in around river stream area,
swamp, and near coastal areas. The layer has high porosity, and therefore
can function as a filter in recharge area.
2. Kampung Baru Formation Formation is structured by quartz sand rock with clay, silt, and soft fragment
insertion. The formation has potential aquifer in Bontang City. Rock types in
the aquifer include gravel, loosely fine sand quartz, sand rock and clay.
3. Balikpapan Formation The rock formation is structured by alternated quartz sand rock, clay, clay-silt,
and fragment inserted by napalm, calcite, and coal. Rock physical
characteristic is usually slightly massive to can be squeezed. Fossils as
indicators in this formation indicate Upper-Middle Miosen Age.
4. Pulaubalang Formation The formation is structured by sand rock alternating with clay and silt rocks
with inserted by lignite, calcite, clay rocks. Sand rock contains of quartz sand,
white-grey to yellowish, well separated, slightly cornered to slightly round.
Environmental Impact Analysis of Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT. KNI
Chapter V: Environment Initial Condition V - 23
5. Bebulu Formation This formation is structured by calcite rock inserted with clay rock, silt rock,
sand rock, and a small amount of napalm. Calcite rock contains coral and big
foraminifera benthos. Calcite rock from this formation is characterized by coral
reef and patch reef.
6. Panaluan Formation This formation is structured by calcite rock inserted with clay rock, silt rock,
sand rock, and coal. In the bottom side consists of disintegrated clay rock and
clay-silt rock. Upper side consists of sandy clay rock that contains of plant
parts and thin layer coal. Generally, compared to the upper side, in the bottom
side is more calcite and contains more foraminifera plankton. Clay rock in this
formation is grey to dark grey colour, lamination to thick layered, alternated
with silt rock, and sporadically with sand rock.
Based on regional geology and field survey, environmental geology condition in
factory site of Ammonium Nitrate and quarry area of PT KNI can be explained as
follows:
1. Terrain Form
PT KNI Ammonium Nitrate Factory site is located in coastal plain morphology
that some of its part is coastal marsh. Land elevation in the range of –1,5 until
–3,5 m from sea surface. General slope in the area is in the range of 2-3%
thus classified as slope slightly, however in the parts bordered with land filled
and dike the slope is up to 80%. This location is wedged by location road
directing from inside PT PKT Factory to Tursina Pier, and drainage directing to
the sea.
Quarry area is weak wavy hill with the elevation of 5 – 20 m from sea surface
and slope in the range of 3-8%, only in the digging border the slope is up to
60%. Due to litho logically easy to disintegrate, there are many small lines in
the land as erosion results during rainfall.
Environmental Impact Analysis of Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT. KNI
Chapter V: Environment Initial Condition V - 24
2. Soil and Rock
Technically, geological location of PT KNI Ammonium Nitrate Factory is laying
on sandy silt soil and clay. Sandy silt soil is located in the bottom resulted from
decayed sand rock and clay rock of Pulaubarang formation. The analyses of
sandy silt soil undisturbed sample taken from the project site location resulted
gravel in the concentration of 16.5 %, sand 63.9 %, and silt19.6 % (sample
number UDS Tb.3). Analyses results from soil mechanic laboratory are
presented on Table 5.9. The table shows that according to the classification of
AASHTO (American Association of State Highway and Transportation
Officials), the soil is grouped as SM. The classification indicates that the soil is
structured by sand material mixed with gravel and silt thus has disintegrated
characteristic and a plastic.
The analyses of undisturbed soil sample taken from the quarry area resulted
gravel in the concentration of 0 – 2 %, sand 49,5 – 75 %, silt 24 – 47 %, and
clay 2,5 – 3,5 %. According to the classification of AASHTO (American
Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials), the soil is
classified as A-2 to A-7 class, while according to USCS (Unfired Soil
Classification System), the soil is classified as SM. The classification indicates
that the soil is structured by sand material mixed with gravel and silt thus has
characteristic as lower plasticity.
3. Geology Structure
Based on regional geology data, there is no complex geology structure in the
area, unless there is sloppy rocky layer which indicates folding structure in the
area. Joint is found in exposed sand-gravel which has been filled by calcite,
and forming veil.

4. Earthquake and Tsunami
Project site located in East Kalimantan, the area is relatively safe from
earthquake due to lays far from sub-duction lane or joint lane as tectonic
earthquake centrum or far from active volcano as volcanic earthquake
centrum. Because there is no subduction lane that will lead rising joint in east
side Bontang seawaters, the occurring tsunami in this area is relatively
insignificant. The closest central earthquake is in Sulawesi Island and
emerging earthquake can also sense in Bontang however not significant.
5. Terrain stability
The plain location of PT. KNI Ammonium nitrate Factory site has led this area
safely from possible land sliding. Also its litho logy in the form of massive
sand-gravel and clay gravel has made the area safely from land subsidence.
Possible land subsidence will only occur in land filled area that is not well
compacted. Land sliding will possibly occur in soil dike and drainage
structures due to likely seawater wave abrasion. In lower wavy hill quarry
location is also safe and classified as stable considering different elevation is
only in the range of 2 – 10 m with the slope of 3 – 8 %. However, land sliding
will occur in steeply sloping digging site if it is not done in maximum 1:2 (slope
slightly).

5.2. BIOLOGY
Space available for the construction of the ammonium nitrate plant of PT KNI in
Bontang is 17 ha. During the course of the study, ca. 2/3 of the site plant covered
by a brackish water swamp (Fig. 5.9.A) which is about 1 m deep (Fig. 5.9.B) with
un-paved access road of ca. 8m width (Fig. 5.9.C) ready to be filled with selected
fill-material shown in the background - which is stored up at the West side of the
project location (Fig. 5.9.D).

5.2.1. Plankton
Among others, supporting environmental factors for the development of
planktonic communities as a primary producer is silicate, phosphate, nitrate, and
ample light penetration. Results showed that there was only 5 genera of
phytoplankton which are belong to the classes Chrysophyceae (1 genus) and
Cyanophyceae (4 genera), whereas zooplankton be a member of class
Mastigophora (1 genus) and phylum Arthropoda (3 genera).

Some genera characteristics for polluted water were found among these
phytoplankton taxa. According to the analysis of the distribution and diversity of
microalgae indicator shown in Table 5.9, station P-4 (sewer) is the worst with 4
genera, followed by water in the inlet, jetty and the swamp - each with 3 genera;
whilst water in the outlet is the best with only one genus of indicator. The most
frequent indicator is a diatom, Nitzchia sp; distributed in 80% or 4 out of 5
sampling stations, a genus commonly found in polluted fresh- and
estuarine/brackish waters.

Table 5.10 showed that the best EQ for plankton was in station P-5, i.e.
brackish water swamp within the plant site of PT KNI. In viewed of its highest
species richness (6 species) and evenness index (0.97) combined with lowest
index of concentration dominance (0.19), then environmental quality in the
swamp (station P-5) considered to be moderate (EQ 3) for planktonic life.
5.2.2. Macrobenthos
This group of life style was only represented by two classes of phylum Mollusca,
i.e. Gastropoda and Bivalvia (Table 5.12). Both classes were found in small
number of abundances, with no endangered, endemic, nor those with positive or
negative economical important species. Throughout the analysis, only
individuals with intact shells were counted and analysed to ensure they were
died recently, which perhaps due to some turbidity or other environmental
factors during sampling.
Size frequency distribution upon the collected shell revealed that no adult
specimen either in gastropod or bivalves. This may be due to the fact that
distributions of both groups were naturally clumped; they tend to live in groups
in the shellfish beds. Even, gastropods move around to seek food, so they may
escape or not caught by the grab sampler. As an omnivore, Gastropods may be
herbivore, carnivore, or a scavenger. Whereas bivalves were mostly filter feeder
or detritus feeder; it ranks lower than gastropods in the pyramid of trophic level.

Table 5.14 depicted that environmental quality in the swamp was the most
supportive for macrobenthic community in the project site’s surrounding. Since it
showed the highest species richness (7), with highest evenness index (0.98)
and lowest index of dominance (0.16), the brackish water swamp was therefore
categorised as performing a moderate quality (EC 3) for macrobenthos.

5.2.3. Nekton
Observed area in this study is part of a restricted region, therefore no
commercial or semi-commercial fisheries are allowed. However, during the visit
to the area and interview with the site officer, some local people visiting the
swamp to fish using a cage net as a hobby (Fig. 5.9.B). Previous studies
reported no commercial, threatened, or endangered species; hence the
condition is assumed to be as before, i.e. good (EC 4)
As predicted by means of Visual Encounter Survey methods (VES), the fact that
nektonic abundance was 30-40 individuals/station (EC 4) with 21 – 23 species
per station (SEC 4), in which all were wild species (24) with economic
importance value (EC 5) leading the study area to good (EC 4) environmental
condition for nektonic animals.

5.2.5. Land Vegetation
Available land for physical construction of Ammonia Nitrate Manufacturing
Facility of PT KNI in Bontang is 17 ha; it slopes slightly toward the sea. Seaward
natural vegetation are mangroves, whereas landward are bushes. During the
course of the study, ca. ¼ of the middle areas have been filled with rubbles,
where, 33 species of grasses and herbs, 27 species of coverage bushes, and
13 tree species thrive (see: Appendix for Flora).
Floral diversity is relatively less varied, mostly are cosmopolite wild species with
no positive economic importance, not threatened, endangered, nor endemic at
all (Table 5.19). Four mangrove species grow up within the areas of PT. KIE-PT.
PKT, 3 genera belong to the family Rhizoporaceae and 1 species of family
Avicenniaceae, yet none within the plant site of PT. KNI. Seed and seedlings of
those genera, in particular Avicennia sp, thrive in a healthy condition with
density 20 – 50 seedling.m-1. Seedlings form a visible zoning and natural self-
thinning as a sign of competitiveness to produce mature healthy stand
afterwards.

5.3. SOCIO-ECONOMIC AND SOCIO-CULTURE
Bontang City area includes three districts, i.e. North Bontang, South Bontang, and
West Bontang Districts. The study area is located in North Bontang District. North
Bontang District consists of 6 villages: Bontang Kuala, Bontang Baru, Api-api,
Gunung Elai, Loktuan and Guntung.
Assessment of environmental initial condition of economic, social and culture
components is carried out in the community area related to various PT KIE
industrial estate activities, whereas Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT KNI will be
constructed. Thus the assessment area includes Guntung and Loktuan Villages,
North Bontang District, Bontang City, East Kalimantan Province.
Environmental Initial condition description that focuses on economic, social, and
culture components, is figuring out the community’s economic, demography,
livelihood, social-culture, and perception predicted that will be impacted by factory
activities.
5.3.1. ECONOMICAL CONDITION
Community’s economic level of Bontang City according to PDRB data is in a
good condition. This is not surprisingly since the area possesses considerable
potential economic, i.e. natural resources in the form of liquid natural gas that
plays as the main role in gaining government revenue to fulfil various state
development activities. This condition reflects a good economic growth level,
and much determines general condition of community’s welfare level.

5.3.1.1. Livelihood and Job Opportunity Compared to other districts in Bontang City, South Bontang District has the
largest population (33,243 persons) with age of > 15 years. However,
employed population (18,552 persons) in North Bontang is much larger than
that of in South Bontang (16,113 persons).
From 40,830 persons categorized as “employed” in Bontang City, most of
them work in commercial sector both large commerce as well as retail seller
i.e. 7,787 unit efforts (19,07%). The numbers is increasing compared to that
of in 2003 (only 7,514 unit efforts). Included in unit efforts are 33 small scale
industries, and 91 home industries. Included in small scale industries are food
industries. Handicraft industry in Bontang City has not developed yet even
though part of the population is Java origin known with well handicraft ability.
Community working in industrial sector is come from various ethnic, besides
Java ethnic; other ethnics are Sulawesi, Sumatera, and Timor.
The second effort is manufacture industry (17.12%), and followed by
construction (12.62%). The condition is opposite with 2003 condition, in 2003
the second was construction, and followed by manufacture.
Similar condition is reflected in North Bontang District area. The District
community livelihood is mostly commerce and retail sectors (20.60%),
followed by manufacture (14.28%) and construction (9.97%).
North Bontang District community’s livelihood data are presented on the

Livelihood of Guntung community is mostly employment, both works in private
company as well as BUMN. Since Guntung is the place of PT Pupuk Kaltim,
employments working in private company are 791 (15.46%). Farmer is 5.3%.
Others include farming labour, trade, and service (for example ojek); scrappers
are not found in Guntung. Generally, the job opportunity in Guntung is quite
high, since the industrial estate can absorb more unskilled labours both local as
well as outside (usually from East Java and Sulawesi). Besides formal sector,
job opportunity in informal sector also grows rapidly indicated by increasing
trading in Berbas market, Loktuan and restaurant in Bontang Kuala.

5.3.2. DEMOGRAPHY
5.3.2.1. Bontang City Community Distribution Based on 2006 Bontang City demography, amount of the population was
125,187 persons, meant 8,105 persons (6.92%) increasing compared to that
of in 2003. In the year 2003 Bontang population was 117,082 persons, while
in 2000 the population was 99,617 persons. Hence, in the period of three
years population growth was 5.53%. Population distribution in 2006 based on
gender included 63,942 males, while in 2003 male population was 60,987
persons indicating that male population was increasing. Female population in
2006 was 61,245 persons, this also experienced increasing compared to
56,095 persons in 2003. Therefore, the ratio of males to females according to
data 2006 was 104.40%, meant that between 100 females in Bontang City
there were 104 males. The characteristic of Bontang area that is closing to
industrial estate seems to give an influence on dominantly amount of male
population in the area.

Population number in Bontang City is still relatively small; in 2006 were
125,187 with the composition 63,942 males and 61,245 females.
Considering the width of Bontang City (487.57 km2), the population gross
density is 397.46 persons/km2, even though the population density can be
said as low, however the condition indicates increasing population compared
to the condition in 2003, i.e. 235.3076 persons /km2.
According to distribution, the largest population is in South Bontang District,
i.e. 52,383 persons (41.84%), the second is North Bontang District population
i.e. 54,015 (43.15%), and the smallest is in West Bontang District i.e. 24,773
persons (19.79%)
Family head in Bontang City in 2006 was 36,727, the number increased by
6,705 family heads compared to 30,022 families in 2003. Thus, the number
increased about 2,235 families/year or 186.25 families/month. The increasing
number is quite a lot for the small city like Bontang, therefore the government
should take into account to this fact.
5.3.2.2. Population Distribution in North Bontang Some villages with high density population in South Bontang District (Middle
Berbas and Coastal Berbas) border with North Bontang District the highest
density population. This condition indicates population is more concentrated
in north side as it is a centre of economic activities and urban characteristic.
Unevenly population distribution has caused higher population density in
several villages. Such condition is usual since the community will concentrate
in the areas that provide more work opportunities and more chance to have a
good life.
Environmental Impact Analysis of Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT. KNI
Chapter V: Environment Initial Condition V - 45
Population number in North Bontang District in 2006 was 51,274 persons,
with the composition of 26,128 males and 25,146 females.
Population distribution per dusun (cluster of village) in Loktuan (populated
16,116 persons), is almost even. From 9 dusun, only 3 dusuns have
population between 5%-9% of Loktuan Village. The dusuns are Selambai (the
least population), Selona and Agungraya, while the largest population is
Abadi Dusun.
Guntung Village consists of Guntung area and Sidrap area, geographically,
Guntung area is located in the west side of PT Pupuk Kaltim, Guntung area is
also the closest area to PT Pupuk Kaltim, and passed by Guntung River,
hence many houses are erected in along Guntung riverbank.
5,3,3, SOCIAL - CULTURE
Community characteristic can be known from its social-culture system
conducted in the community. Due to the values develop among them in their
daily lives, and their activities to fulfil their living needs both material and
spiritual, from the values then emerge interaction process. The process is going
continuously, therefore in parallel with this interaction; their social condition also
develops.
The social condition, due to humans’ interaction as social creatures, will
determine their culture development level. Culture is the whole idea system,
action and human creativity result in community life that becomes its own
through learning process. Koentjaraningrat (1997), said that human and culture
is like two sides of a coin, both cannot be separated. As far as community
exists, culture will develop continuously because human is a culture supporter.
According to Poerwanto (2000), culture is a result from creature, feeling and
will. From this, it can be concluded that culture is naturally a result from human
activity going on a particular community group. Culture is a result from learning,
therefore culture is a conducting manner that is studied, and is not depended on
parent genetic heredity. Koentjaraningrat (1997) also said that there were 7
culture components, include believing system, livelihood system, relative
system, social organization, language, art, and technology. Following is
presented value and culture norm that build social interaction and behaviour
characteristic pattern.
Environmental Impact Analysis of Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT. KNI
Chapter V: Environment Initial Condition V - 46
Behaviour is a manner believed and usual conducted from earliest as a part of
tradition. Social interaction is based on various habits forming culture ideas that
include culture value, norm, law, and regulation which interact and form a
system.
Community interaction in the surrounding PT KIE is melting. Community culture
is coming from various ethnics in Indonesia, and dominated by Java, Kutai and
Bugis. Each ethnic is still conducting their behaviour in their new settlement, i.e.
Bontang, however its intensity is not the same anymore with their origin places.
Indepth interview and field observation activity indicate that social interaction
pattern among the ethnics is still characterized by mutual cooperation or
community organization based on ascribed status which is going for the sake of
togetherness. The process is also influenced by industrial process, due to their
settlement closes to industrial estate. Many of factory employments are also live
in this settlement even they become a part of original community, even though
the number are not a lot.
Mutual cooperation that still develops in the community living in the study area,
is mutual activities in cleaning and maintaining house of worship, cleaning
settlement environment, celebrating culture festivity, and celebrating great days.
During this study conducted, the community was busy celebrating 62 years
Indonesia Independence Day. They seem sharing each other to be a
committee, following various competitions, and together designing and
practicing art festivity agenda.
Following is a table that shows analyses result of questionnaires for 50
respondents include 29 respondents in Loktuan Village and 21 respondents in
Guntung Village. Loktuan Respondent number is bigger due to the location is
closed to the location of Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT KNI construction.

Chapter V: Environment Initial Condition V - 47
Even though Bontang community has shifted from traditional to modern,
however social pattern characterized by mutual cooperation still exists. This is
reflected by particular mutual activity. According to community perception,
cleaning and maintaining house of worship activity has not often been done,
because the community consists of many ethnics and religions. Religion activity
is also not significant in the area, house of worships are also not so many and
their existences are not significant.
Mutual cleaning environment activity according to respondent perception still is
often done, usually on Sunday, but not routine. Besides Sunday, cleaning
environment is also done especially in the time approaching Independence
Day, due to sometimes there are “clean the environment” competitions amongst
areas, which then drive them to seriously cleaning their environment.
Including in “others” activities is constructing or maintaining local structure.
According to them, it is important to be carried out, due to easy transportation is
a mutual need, and moreover motorcycle owner level in the community is high.
Including to other activities is also night guard.
Other media as community social interaction in the study area are RT and RW
gathering, but not routinely, only incidentally dependent on the need. According
to Loktuan Village secretary and head officer of Guntung Village, “incidentally”
means that gathering is done due to the occurring urgent matter or important
matter that needs to be discussed among the community. Religion activities are
also conducted mutually such as great recitation, women and children
recitations, and Yasinan. Christian adherent has also conducted mutual activity
such as Sunday school, weekly worship, and deepening of Bible.

5.3.3.3. Behaviour Historically, Guntung community majority is Kutai descendant, and has been
there since 1920s. Kutai community in Guntung is descendants of
disintegrated Kutai Monarchy family that originally come from Kesultanan
Tenggarong, East Kalimantan. Due to occurring dispute among Kutai
Monarchy family, they disintegrated, one of them settled in Guntung area. It
is predicted that Kutai descendant family is about 600. On 19 June 2004,
Sultan Kutai Kartanegara ing Martadipura ke XX, had installed Dewan Adat
and Lembaga Adat officers of Kutai Guntung Citra Kota Bontang. The aim of
forming Lembaga Adat Kutai Guntung is to preserve Kutai Behaviour and
Culture in Bontang. Several potential social occur in Guntung Village such as
lembaga adat Kutai which maintains Kutai culture and “Erau” culture festivity
(Erau plas Benua),
Aculturism of Bugis, Java, and Kutai culture has occurred in a long time
indicated by culture and competence assimilation. Marriage, Japen, Reog,
Java and Bugis Dances are often held during ritual of sedekah laut (giving
food to the reef) or in celebrating national great days, even are also held
during Erau Festivity indicating harmonious condition among religions.
5.3.3.4. Perception and Aspiration Perception and attitude are related to many factors, both from individual itself,
as well as from external environment. Ones or group’s attitude will emerge if
in their social environment occurs an incident that influences their existence.
Social attitude expression can be words or actions, such as agree or
disagree, certain or uncertain, against or compliance, gentle or aggressive,
positive, negative as well as neutral character .

Respondent majority have known the construction plan of Ammonium Nitrate
Factory PT KNI as well as its production. They do not familiar with PT KNI,
however they know Orica well, even though Orica has not conducted
socialization to the community.
Indepth interview with community’s formal and informal leaders included
village’s officers, NGO leaders, and also laypersons, generally it can be said
that respondents’ perception on the factory construction plan can be grouped

The agree group proposes the requirement that the factory has to give job
chances to the local community. So far the local community is difficult to work
in factories located in industrial estate of PT KIE with the reason that their
education back ground is not adequate. According to the community, in the
past this reason is sensible due to their education are indeed not so high
enough. However, right now the community mostly have adequate education,
thus the reason of “not adequate education” is not relevant anymore. If they
are untrained, they believe that with some training they can work in the
factory. Moreover for unskilled workers such as gardener, cleaning service,
and guard should not be coming from other areas as it happens right now.

Respondents that do not agree is due to they worry with the words “explosive
material”, in addition, they have got many information from the newspaper on
explosion cases both deliberately such as terrorisms case, or indeliberately
due to explode itself caused by not carefulness community. This perception
should be taken into account by the initiator.
The neutral respondents give the reason that workers recruitment will
consider qualification and professionalism. Therefore, the important things are
the government and the industry roles in increasing uneducated local human
resources qualities through education and training or giving stimuli in the form
of capital loan.

a. Prediction of Impact Magnitude
Factory construction is predicted to cause impact on space planning. The
activity will change internal space PT KIE industrial estate, from green area
to building cover area. In the initial condition, the project site is coastal
marsh area. Thus space planning environmental quality is very good with
the scale of 5. Disappearing green area will affect internal space planning
structure in the industrial estate. However, the change is only occur in the
industrial estate, thus from Bontang City space planning the space
structure does not change. Accordingly, construction activity of Ammonium

increase seawater temperature. The increasing seawater temperature will
change water density and will emerge stream that tends to directing from
outlet to inlet. While product shipping activity will impact on emerging
seawater waves that will cause shore abrasion.
Environmental Impact Analysis of Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT. KNI
Chapter VI: Significant Impact Prediction VI - 33
In the initial condition the seawater temperature is in between 32º C –
37.9ºC in outlet Kaltim 4 and very much influenced by tidal rise and fall.
Considering the seawaters is bay form, during tidal rise the stream will
direct to north west that is project site shore, on the other hands during tidal
fall the stream will direct to south east that is to the sea. With this condition,
heat dispersion will occur, and bay seawater temperature will be the same
with that of in open seawaters.
Initial hydro-oceanography condition in project site is very good with
environmental quality scale 5.
Factory operation will increase seawater temperature, however the volume
of hot water discharged by the factory is much lesser than seawater
volume, moreover, the hot waters before discharged to the sea its water
temperature is firstly decreased in Cooling Tower. While product shipping

Impact Identification IV - 1
6.2. BIOLOGY
4.2.1. LAND PREPARATION PERIOD In this study, construction activities which may have an impact on biological aspects
of the environment are labour recruitment, mobilisation of material and heavy-duty
equipments, land clearing and land preparation.
6.2.1.1. Plankton
a. Prediction of Impact Magnitude During the course of the study, brackish water swamp within the plant site of
PT KNI is reported to hold 6 species plankton. Nonetheless, since the swamp
is locked in from any water sources, the findings hence considered to be
moderate (EQ 3). Taking into account that plankton is the base of trophic
pyramid as primary producer, land clearing and its further preparation, which
means filling-in the swamp to dry, is thus identified to cause a negative impact
upon plankton in the swamp.
b. Prediction of Impact Importance The area currently, from an ecological point of view, is in a highly denuded
condition. Land filling resulted in turbulence and turbidity, which in turn wiped
out plankton community in the swamp, is the consequence of the project. The
impact evaluated to occur in a very narrow area (-1), with almost no human
being to be influenced (-1) because the swamp is located in a restricted
industrial area. Duration and intensity of the impact relatively short (-2), only a
few other compounds may affected (-1) as the swamp locked in from any other
water body in surroundings. Impact is believed not cumulative (-2) and
reversible (-2) i.e. when other environmental components be well and properly-
managed. Thereafter, land preparation is considered to only causing a
relatively not important negative impact (-2).
Environmental Impact Analysis of Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT. KNI
Impact Identification IV - 2
6.2.1.2. Macrobenthos a. Prediction of Impact Magnitude
Land clearing and land preparation dried out the swamp - which occupy some
2/3 part of the plant site - will directly and indirectly (through the disappearance
of plankton) vanishing macrobenthic community in the swamp. Therefore these
physical activities might cause negative impacts to occur.
b. Prediction of Impact Importance Land clears and preparation in the plant site - physically at present is a
brackish water swamp, ensuing in turbidity and habitat destroyed which
sequentially changing it into a terrestrial one rendering all aquatic communities
to be gone, including macrobenthos. This is indeed a logic consequence of
building the facility.
Impacts of land preparation upon macrobenthic communities in the swamp
have been evaluated as indirectly affecting human being (-1). From the
ecological point of view, the activity occur in a relatively narrow area (-1) with
short duration and light intensity (-2), i.e. during the constructional period,
although other components to be affected is relatively complicated because
macrobenthos is directly link to plankton as primary producer (-3). Impacts
upon this group may be reversible (-2) and not cumulative (-1), as long as
other components in the surrounding water body be properly managed as a
substitute. The impact is therefore categorised as negatively not important (-2) toward the surrounding ecosystem.
6.2.1.3. Nekton
a. Prediction of Impact Magnitude On site observation revealed that local people living outside the fence but next
to the project site often come to visit the swamp to fish by using cage net or
angling (Figure 3.1B). As a result, land clearing and preparation that will dry-up
the swamp and obviously perish all aquatic biota turn out as a negative impact
toward nektonic animals.
Environmental Impact Analysis of Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT. KNI
Impact Identification IV - 3
b. Prediction of Impact Importance In general, nekton in the brackish water swamp and the surrounding water
body classified as mix demersal fishes (Table 3.8); besides, some un-
commercial fish like Periopthalmus sp and Glossogobius matanensis. The
presence of more than 10 species economically important fish graded the
water body surrounding the project site as in a good condition to support
nektonic life (EQ 4).
Land clear and preparation disturbs amenity which in turn give rise to a
permanent change of local habitat in the swamp. When the construction is
commenced, local people will not allowed getting into the area to fish; this may
be evaluated as a negative impact. However, since they are not many, it is
therefore evaluated as less important (-1). Ecologically, the activity takes place
in a relatively narrow site (-1), intense but for a short period of time, i.e. only
during the land preparation period (-1), other components to be disturbed
relatively a few because in general nekton is of high grade in the trophic
pyramid (-2). The impact is considered reversible (-2) and not cumulative (-1) as long as other components in the surrounding water body be properly
managed as a compensation. This is inferred from the fact that fish usually
perform a homing behaviour to overcome worsened water quality.
The impact of swamp-filling upon nektonic communities is therefore
categorised as negatively not important (-2) toward the surrounding water
body.
6.2.1.4. Microbes
a. Prediction of Impact Magnitude Bacteriological quality of the environs in the project site was regarded as good
(Government Law no 82/2001 and EQ 4). Both guidance graded deep-well
closest to the site as the best in quality (station B-02, EQ 5; Table 3.9), i.e.
coliform bacteria 2 cfu.ml-1, and E. coli <2 MPN/100mL. Labour recruits
recognised to raise negative impact toward bacteriological profile in the site.
Environmental Impact Analysis of Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT. KNI
Impact Identification IV - 4
b. Prediction of Impact Importance A number of recruited builders who stay in the temporary barracks and work in
unfurnished facility for which is assumed to provide no sanitary facilities, be
evaluated as compelling negative impact to the microbes over growth in the
sequence of degenerating environmental sanitation.
The activity is being conducted in a relatively small area, i.e. within the plant
site of PT KNI (-2). The intensity evolved since the land preparation period
throughout the period of constructing the structure (-3). The decline of
bacteriological quality in the project site and perhaps in the freshwater source
nearby linked to several other components, in particular is the public health (-3). Impact is local, only cumulative at the extreme condition favouring the
blooming of microbes’ growth (-2), quickly reversible (-2) because mass
concentration of the builders will reduced soon after the facility accomplished,
and as long as environmental sanitation system be properly managed (-1).
Builders recruit thus be evaluated as a negatively less important impact (-3)
toward bacteriological surveillance surrounding the project site.
6.2.1.5. Land Vegetation a. Prediction of Impact Magnitude
Land clears and further processes for land preparation diminishing all floral
communities within the plant site. As a consequence, this commencement
process in physical construction of ammonia nitrate plant of PT KNI is negative
toward local land vegetation.
b. Prediction of Impact Importance Land clears and filling will obviously eliminate natural vegetation in the plant
site and consequently is identified as a negative impact for the local
vegetation. Land strip, top soil removal and relocation is expected not to
harmful the gene pool of local vegetation in the project site, given that no
observed species with economically important value, threatened, endangered,
nor endemic. At the time of visit, the site is set to be filled prior to dewatering.
Ground surface strip and dislocation will have no direct impact on human being
since the section is a restricted area intended for industry so that neither crop
Environmental Impact Analysis of Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT. KNI
Impact Identification IV - 5
nor other cultivation ever recorded (-1). The activity conducted in a relatively
very narrow area (-1); dislocation, relocation of stripped ground surface, and
land-fill will be carried out block by block within the 17 ha project site of PT
KNI. Quite an intense impact will occur throughout the land preparation period
(-2). From the point of ecological view, only a few other components will be
affected (-2); although vegetation is a primary producer, plant site is indeed
intended for industrial area. The short period of cumulative impacts (-2) will
soon be recover (-2) considering the high soil fertility in the project site. It is
thus evaluated that swamp fill for the construction of the ammonia nitrate
facility of PT KNI as a negatively not important impact (-2) toward local
vegetation in the site.
4.2.1.6. Terrestric Fauna
a. Prediction of Impact Magnitude Loading of materials into the site and heavy-duty equipments mobilisation
followed by land clears and preparation, is suspected to be negative toward
faunal amenity in the project site and the surroundings.
b. Prediction of Impact Importance Mobilisation of heavy-duty equipments prior to ground surface clears for land
preparation identified to cause a negative impact to the amenity of terrestrial
fauna in the project site.
Impacts of ground surface strip and dislocation toward wild terrestrial fauna will
have no direct impact on human being (-1) since the section is a restricted
industrial area not intended for green belt nor conservation area. Having been
conducted in a very narrow space within 17 ha of PT KNI project site (-1), it will
occurred intensively during land preparation period (-2). And although only a
few other components will be influenced (-1) as the site is an industrial area,
impacts toward terrestrial fauna may be cumulative (-2) yet reversible within a
short period of time (-2) regarding the soil fertility of the site ease animals to
find preys, they are not allowed to be hunted, and never poached be reported.
The animal’s mobility benefits them to recover their population size.
Therefore, mobilisation of heavy-duty vehicle and equipments prior to land

preparation processes of PT KNI be evaluated as a negatively not important impact (-2) upon local terrestrial fauna in the site.
6.2.2. PHYSICAL CONSTRUCTION PERIOD
In principle, all biotic compounds in this study will be affected by processes during
physical construction of the facility. Part of the building construction which may
contributes a negative impact upon biological aspects of the environs are: land
preparation affecting the deterioration of floral communities, building-materials and
heavy-duty equipments distressing faunal amenities, labour recruits leading to
bacteriological imbalance – this is because in general fresh water demand is higher
than the capacity.
4.2.2.1. Microbes
a. Prediction of Impact Magnitude Change in the quantity and quality of the water for domestic use may facilitate
bacterial growth. In this study, pathogenic identification of the bacteria has yet
analysed, so that blooming possibility ought to be taken into account. As is
known (Table 3.9), total bacteria count in the sewer (station B-3) discharging
up to the sea (station B-1) was moderate, i.e. coliform 33 cell.ml-1, and E. coli
<9 MPN/100mL; meanwhile Thursina Harbour (station B-1) was the worst
(coliform 900 cell.ml-1, and E. coli <200 MPN/100mL). Thus the presence of
builders might worsen the already poor profile of surface water bacteria.
b. Prediction of Impact Importance Change in the quantity and quality of the water for domestic use may facilitate
bacterial growth. In this study, pathogenic identification of the bacteria has yet
analysed, so that blooming possibility ought to be taken into account. As is
known (Table 3.9), total bacteria count in the sewer (station B-3) discharging
up to the sea (station B-1) was moderate, i.e. coliform 33 cell.ml-1, and E. coli
<9 MPN/100mL; meanwhile Thursina Harbour (station B-1) was the worst
(coliform 900 cell.ml-1, and E. coli <200 MPN/100mL). From the ecological
point of view, workers/builders recruit may risk environmental sanitation,
Environmental Impact Analysis of Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT. KNI
Impact Identification IV - 7
because their need for domestic uses as such that may cause a freshwater
shortage, which in turn causing bacterial overgrowth.
Recruited builders who stay in the temporary barracks during the period of land
preparation to the construction period, and work in unfurnished facility for
which is assumed to provide no sanitary facilities compelling negative impact
to the microbes overgrowth (-2) in the sequence of degenerating
environmental sanitation. Intensity of the impacts continued and escalated (-3)
due to rapid increase in the number of recruits. However, since the impacts is
local (-1), other components be influenced may be a few (-1), recovered in a
while (-1) and not cumulative (-1) regarding microbes vulnerability against
sudden change in other environmental factors, and also because many
pathogenic bacteria are not able to survive marine condition, thus
bacteriological profile may be evaluated as remain the same (EQ 4).
Subsequently the impacts of physical construction assumed as a negatively not important (-2) toward bacteriological profile in the project site.
6.2.3. OPERATIONAL PERIOD
During the operational period of the facility harbour infrastructure maintenance, e.g.
waste water management and product transportation are those among others which
may causing some negative impacts upon plankton, macrobenthos and nektonic
communities in the project site.
4.2.3.1. Plankton a. Prediction of Impact Magnitude
The more the functioning of the ammonia nitrate facility the more frequents the
product shipment, which is estimated to be once or twice a week. As this is an
ample contribution for the moor to more rapidly get shallower, maintenance
dredging may thus take place more often. Silicon compounds as an anti-foam
agent in the cooling tower are relatively harmless for biotic communities. Yet,
the more important to deal with is the higher temperature delta (ca. 5°C) of
wastewater discharged from the cooling tower system. All these processes are
continual, as they are going to be for a long period, as long as the functioning
Environmental Impact Analysis of Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT. KNI
Impact Identification IV - 8
of the facility; therefore it is recognised as a chronic negative impact for
planktonic a community which is indeed moderate in quality (EQ 3).
b. Prediction of Impact Importance The more the functioning of the ammonia nitrate facility the more frequent the
product shipments, which is estimated to be once or twice a week. As this is an
ample contribution for the moor to get shallower more rapidly, maintenance
dredging may thus to be taken place more often. If this so, the activity will
periodically changed water depth, bottom sediment profile and the variety of
sediment size – as such that it may change the direction of flow and strength of
the current – which means transporting a vast amount of water mass from its
previous hydrodynamics.
Routine waste resulted from increased shipment frequency along with warm
effluent (ca. 5°C higher than normal; 220m3.hour-1 or 5280m3.ay-1) coming from
wastewater system, turbulence, and wastewater load from joint activities in the
harbour, be evaluated as negatively important (-4) for planktonic organisms –
either phytoplankton, zooplankton, and larvae of non-planktonic organisms
(meroplankton).
Approximately, 11 – 20% of human population in the surroundings who work
as fishermen may undergo the indirect impact of warm water effluent and
product shipments of PT KNI (-2). Impact may not extend wider than the
aquatic (ecological) boundary of PT KNI, more specifically is Thursina harbour
(-2). The intensity is moderate, occurring as long as the wastewater system,
ammonia nitrate facility and the harbour are in function (-4). Various other
components may get influenced since plankton is a primary producer in the
water body (-4). Impact may continue given that plant facility and the harbour
are functioning, but not cumulative (-2) as proven by variety and diversity of
planktonic organisms in PT PKT which has been operated for more than 30
years. Impact is therefore local and reversible (-2) provided that other
environmental components be properly managed in a sustainable way.
Environmental Impact Analysis of Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT. KNI
Impact Identification IV - 9
4.2.3.2. Macrobenthos a. Prediction of Impact Magnitude
High turbidity due to the higher intensity of product shipment and/or
maintenance dredging, oil spill, wastewater of higher temperature, quality and
quantity of combined wastewater were identified to change the physical and
chemical properties of the water in the project site. Directly, those matters may
impede physiological and reproduction of macrobenthos in the bottom
sediment of the harbour. Indirectly, these may occur simultaneously with the
disappearance of planktonic life.
b. Prediction of Impact Importance Habitat change is often fatal for this relatively immobile group of animals.
Moreover, warm water effluent, new species introduced if water ballast is not
properly dispose, oil spill, and change in physico-chemical of the water in
general are indicated to hamper the physiology and reproduction of this group.
Simultaneously, indirect impact may occur from the hold back of planktonic
communities which indeed is fairly moderate in quality and quantity (EQ 3).
Therefore, potential impacts that may occur during the operational period of
the facility and the harbour is evaluated as negatively important (-4) for
macrobenthic organisms in the site.
In approximate, 11 – 20% of human population in the surroundings are
fishermen, they may undergo the indirect impact of warm water effluent and
product shipments of PT KNI (-2). Impact may not extend wider than the
aquatic (ecological) boundary of PT KNI, more specifically is Thursina harbour
(-2). The intensity is moderate, occurring as long as the wastewater system,
ammonia nitrate facility and the harbour are in function (-4). Various other
components may get affected since macrobenthos may be graded low
(herbivorous) or high (carnivorous) in the trophic pyramid (-3). Impact may continue assuming that plant facility and the harbour are
functioning, but not cumulative (-2) since periodic maintenance in the harbour
may perform as a secondary succession agent for macrobenthic community.
Impact is therefore local and reversible (-2) provided that other environmental
Environmental Impact Analysis of Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT. KNI
Impact Identification IV - 10
components be properly managed in a sustainable way
4.2.3.3. Nekton
a. Prediction of Impact Magnitude Higher intensity of product shipment and/or maintenance dredging, oil spill,
ballast water, wastewater of higher temperature, quality and quantity of
combined wastewater were recognized to restrain the amenity of nektonic
communities used to visit the harbour. Indirectly, it may affect through the
vanishing trophic levels at the bottom of trophic pyramid.
b. Prediction of Impact Importance In the long run, ample depth of water column, amenity, and safety from
poaching and fishing in a restricted area, availability of various species of
plankton as nursing communities for nekton, strongly predicted to encourage
nekton to visit and live in the harbour as their sanctuary. In that view, by
applying proper management, then augmentation of shipment frequency along
with its associated activities, for example maintenance dredging, may comes
out as a positive impact (+3) for nektonic organisms; and in turn toward the
traditional fisheries outside the safety border of the harbour.
The impacts of maintenance dredging in the harbour, frequency of product
shipments, and warm wastewater of PT KNI assumed to be relatively
unimportant to the human population living nearby the project site (+1).
Ecologically, the impacts be reasonably important as it occur in a narrow space
(+2), moderately intense for long period, i.e. as long as the harbour, the facility,
and the wastewater system are in function (+4). A few other environmental
components may be affected (+1) considering that nekton is normally graded
high in the food pyramid. Negative impacts toward nekton may be cumulative
(-2) during land preparation period and physical construction of the facility, but
predicted to be recovered at the commencement of the operational period of
the facility (+3), i.e. with the condition that all other environmental components
be properly maintained. In other harbours of PT PKT, the quality and quantity
of nektonic organisms are satisfactory. This is inferred from the fact that fish

usually perform a homing behaviour to overcome worsened water quality. As a
result, operational of the facility which intensify shipment frequency, harbour
maintenance, and wastewater effluent categorised as a positive impact (+3) for nekton in the harbour and the environs.

6.2. BIOLOGY
4.2.1. LAND PREPARATION PERIOD In this study, construction activities which may have an impact on biological aspects
of the environment are labour recruitment, mobilisation of material and heavy-duty
equipments, land clearing and land preparation.
6.2.1.1. Plankton
a. Prediction of Impact Magnitude During the course of the study, brackish water swamp within the plant site of
PT KNI is reported to hold 6 species plankton. Nonetheless, since the swamp
is locked in from any water sources, the findings hence considered to be
moderate (EQ 3). Taking into account that plankton is the base of trophic
pyramid as primary producer, land clearing and its further preparation, which
means filling-in the swamp to dry, is thus identified to cause a negative impact
upon plankton in the swamp.
b. Prediction of Impact Importance The area currently, from an ecological point of view, is in a highly denuded
condition. Land filling resulted in turbulence and turbidity, which in turn wiped
out plankton community in the swamp, is the consequence of the project. The
impact evaluated to occur in a very narrow area (-1), with almost no human
being to be influenced (-1) because the swamp is located in a restricted
industrial area. Duration and intensity of the impact relatively short (-2), only a
few other compounds may affected (-1) as the swamp locked in from any other
water body in surroundings. Impact is believed not cumulative (-2) and
reversible (-2) i.e. when other environmental components be well and properly-
managed. Thereafter, land preparation is considered to only causing a
relatively not important negative impact (-2).
Study on Environmental Impact of Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT. KNI
Chapter VI: Significant Impact Prediction IV - 36
6.2.1.2. Macrobenthos a. Prediction of Impact Magnitude
Land clearing and land preparation dried out the swamp - which occupy some
2/3 part of the plant site - will directly and indirectly (through the disappearance
of plankton) vanishing macrobenthic community in the swamp. Therefore these
physical activities might cause negative impacts to occur.
b. Prediction of Impact Importance Land clears and preparation in the plant site - physically at present is a
brackish water swamp, ensuing in turbidity and habitat destroyed which
sequentially changing it into a terrestrial one rendering all aquatic communities
to be gone, including macrobenthos. This is indeed a logic consequence of
building the facility.
Impacts of land preparation upon macrobenthic communities in the swamp
have been evaluated as indirectly affecting human being (-1). From the
ecological point of view, the activity occur in a relatively narrow area (-1) with
short duration and light intensity (-2), i.e. during the constructional period,
although other components to be affected is relatively complicated because
macrobenthos is directly link to plankton as primary producer (-3). Impacts
upon this group may be reversible (-2) and not cumulative (-1), as long as
other components in the surrounding water body be properly managed as a
substitute. The impact is therefore categorised as negatively not important (-2) toward the surrounding ecosystem.
6.2.1.3. Nekton
a. Prediction of Impact Magnitude On site observation revealed that local people living outside the fence but next
to the project site often come to visit the swamp to fish by using cage net or
angling (Figure 3.1B). As a result, land clearing and preparation that will dry-up
the swamp and obviously perish all aquatic biota turn out as a negative impact
toward nektonic animals.
Study on Environmental Impact of Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT. KNI
Chapter VI: Significant Impact Prediction IV - 37
b. Prediction of Impact Importance In general, nekton in the brackish water swamp and the surrounding water
body classified as mix demersal fishes (Table 3.8); besides, some un-
commercial fish like Periopthalmus sp and Glossogobius matanensis. The
presence of more than 10 species economically important fish graded the
water body surrounding the project site as in a good condition to support
nektonic life (EQ 4).
Land clear and preparation disturbs amenity which in turn give rise to a
permanent change of local habitat in the swamp. When the construction is
commenced, local people will not allowed getting into the area to fish; this may
be evaluated as a negative impact. However, since they are not many, it is
therefore evaluated as less important (-1). Ecologically, the activity takes place
in a relatively narrow site (-1), intense but for a short period of time, i.e. only
during the land preparation period (-1), other components to be disturbed
relatively a few because in general nekton is of high grade in the trophic
pyramid (-2). The impact is considered reversible (-2) and not cumulative (-1) as long as other components in the surrounding water body be properly
managed as a compensation. This is inferred from the fact that fish usually
perform a homing behaviour to overcome worsened water quality.
The impact of swamp-filling upon nektonic communities is therefore
categorised as negatively not important (-2) toward the surrounding water
body.
6.2.1.4. Microbes
a. Prediction of Impact Magnitude Bacteriological quality of the environs in the project site was regarded as good
(Government Law no 82/2001 and EQ 4). Both guidance graded deep-well
closest to the site as the best in quality (station B-02, EQ 5; Table 3.9), i.e.
coliform bacteria 2 cfu.ml-1, and E. coli <2 MPN/100mL. Labour recruits
recognised to raise negative impact toward bacteriological profile in the site.
Study on Environmental Impact of Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT. KNI
Chapter VI: Significant Impact Prediction IV - 38
b. Prediction of Impact Importance A number of recruited builders who stay in the temporary barracks and work in
unfurnished facility for which is assumed to provide no sanitary facilities, be
evaluated as compelling negative impact to the microbes over growth in the
sequence of degenerating environmental sanitation.
The activity is being conducted in a relatively small area, i.e. within the plant
site of PT KNI (-2). The intensity evolved since the land preparation period
throughout the period of constructing the structure (-3). The decline of
bacteriological quality in the project site and perhaps in the freshwater source
nearby linked to several other components, in particular is the public health (-3). Impact is local, only cumulative at the extreme condition favouring the
blooming of microbes’ growth (-2), quickly reversible (-2) because mass
concentration of the builders will reduced soon after the facility accomplished,
and as long as environmental sanitation system be properly managed (-1).
Builders recruit thus be evaluated as a negatively less important impact (-3)
toward bacteriological surveillance surrounding the project site.
6.2.1.5. Land Vegetation a. Prediction of Impact Magnitude
Land clears and further processes for land preparation diminishing all floral
communities within the plant site. As a consequence, this commencement
process in physical construction of ammonia nitrate plant of PT KNI is negative
toward local land vegetation.
b. Prediction of Impact Importance Land clears and filling will obviously eliminate natural vegetation in the plant
site and consequently is identified as a negative impact for the local
vegetation. Land strip, top soil removal and relocation is expected not to
harmful the gene pool of local vegetation in the project site, given that no
observed species with economically important value, threatened, endangered,
nor endemic. At the time of visit, the site is set to be filled prior to dewatering.
Ground surface strip and dislocation will have no direct impact on human being
since the section is a restricted area intended for industry so that neither crop
Study on Environmental Impact of Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT. KNI
Chapter VI: Significant Impact Prediction IV - 39
nor other cultivation ever recorded (-1). The activity conducted in a relatively
very narrow area (-1); dislocation, relocation of stripped ground surface, and
land-fill will be carried out block by block within the 17 ha project site of PT
KNI. Quite an intense impact will occur throughout the land preparation period
(-2). From the point of ecological view, only a few other components will be
affected (-2); although vegetation is a primary producer, plant site is indeed
intended for industrial area. The short period of cumulative impacts (-2) will
soon be recover (-2) considering the high soil fertility in the project site. It is
thus evaluated that swamp fill for the construction of the ammonia nitrate
facility of PT KNI as a negatively not important impact (-2) toward local
vegetation in the site.
4.2.1.6. Terrestric Fauna
a. Prediction of Impact Magnitude Loading of materials into the site and heavy-duty equipments mobilisation
followed by land clears and preparation, is suspected to be negative toward
faunal amenity in the project site and the surroundings.
b. Prediction of Impact Importance Mobilisation of heavy-duty equipments prior to ground surface clears for land
preparation identified to cause a negative impact to the amenity of terrestrial
fauna in the project site.
Impacts of ground surface strip and dislocation toward wild terrestrial fauna will
have no direct impact on human being (-1) since the section is a restricted
industrial area not intended for green belt nor conservation area. Having been
conducted in a very narrow space within 17 ha of PT KNI project site (-1), it will
occurred intensively during land preparation period (-2). And although only a
few other components will be influenced (-1) as the site is an industrial area,
impacts toward terrestrial fauna may be cumulative (-2) yet reversible within a
short period of time (-2) regarding the soil fertility of the site ease animals to
find preys, they are not allowed to be hunted, and never poached be reported.
The animal’s mobility benefits them to recover their population size.
Therefore, mobilisation of heavy-duty vehicle and equipments prior to land
Study on Environmental Impact of Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT. KNI
Chapter VI: Significant Impact Prediction IV - 40
preparation processes of PT KNI be evaluated as a negatively not important impact (-2) upon local terrestrial fauna in the site.
6.2.2. PHYSICAL CONSTRUCTION PERIOD
In principle, all biotic compounds in this study will be affected by processes during
physical construction of the facility. Part of the building construction which may
contributes a negative impact upon biological aspects of the environs are: land
preparation affecting the deterioration of floral communities, building-materials and
heavy-duty equipments distressing faunal amenities, labour recruits leading to
bacteriological imbalance – this is because in general fresh water demand is higher
than the capacity.
4.2.2.1. Microbes
a. Prediction of Impact Magnitude Change in the quantity and quality of the water for domestic use may facilitate
bacterial growth. In this study, pathogenic identification of the bacteria has yet
analysed, so that blooming possibility ought to be taken into account. As is
known (Table 3.9), total bacteria count in the sewer (station B-3) discharging
up to the sea (station B-1) was moderate, i.e. coliform 33 cell.ml-1, and E. coli
<9 MPN/100mL; meanwhile Thursina Harbour (station B-1) was the worst
(coliform 900 cell.ml-1, and E. coli <200 MPN/100mL). Thus the presence of
builders might worsen the already poor profile of surface water bacteria.

point of view, workers/builders recruit may risk environmental sanitation,
Study on Environmental Impact of Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT. KNI
Chapter VI: Significant Impact Prediction IV - 41
because their need for domestic uses as such that may cause a freshwater
shortage, which in turn causing bacterial overgrowth.
Recruited builders who stay in the temporary barracks during the period of land
preparation to the construction period, and work in unfurnished facility for
which is assumed to provide no sanitary facilities compelling negative impact
to the microbes overgrowth (-2) in the sequence of degenerating
environmental sanitation. Intensity of the impacts continued and escalated (-3)
due to rapid increase in the number of recruits. However, since the impacts is
local (-1), other components be influenced may be a few (-1), recovered in a
while (-1) and not cumulative (-1) regarding microbes vulnerability against
sudden change in other environmental factors, and also because many
pathogenic bacteria are not able to survive marine condition, thus
bacteriological profile may be evaluated as remain the same (EQ 4).
Subsequently the impacts of physical construction assumed as a negatively not important (-2) toward bacteriological profile in the project site.
6.2.3. OPERATIONAL PERIOD
During the operational period of the facility harbour infrastructure maintenance, e.g.
waste water management and product transportation are those among others which
may causing some negative impacts upon plankton, macrobenthos and nektonic
communities in the project site.
4.2.3.1. Plankton a. Prediction of Impact Magnitude
The more the functioning of the ammonia nitrate facility the more frequents the
product shipment, which is estimated to be once or twice a week. As this is an
ample contribution for the moor to more rapidly get shallower, maintenance

of the facility; therefore it is recognised as a chronic negative impact for
planktonic a community which is indeed moderate in quality (EQ 3).
b. Prediction of Impact Importance The more the functioning of the ammonia nitrate facility the more frequent the
product shipments, which is estimated to be once or twice a week. As this is an

periodically changed water depth, bottom sediment profile and the variety of
sediment size – as such that it may change the direction of flow and strength of
the current – which means transporting a vast amount of water mass from its
previous hydrodynamics.
Routine waste resulted from increased shipment frequency along with warm
effluent (ca. 5°C higher than normal; 220m3.hour-1 or 5280m3.ay-1) coming from
wastewater system, turbulence, and wastewater load from joint activities in the
harbour, be evaluated as negatively important (-4) for planktonic organisms –
either phytoplankton, zooplankton, and larvae of non-planktonic organisms
(meroplankton).
Approximately, 11 – 20% of human population in the surroundings who work
as fishermen may undergo the indirect impact of warm water effluent and
product shipments of PT KNI (-2). Impact may not extend wider than the
aquatic (ecological) boundary of PT KNI, more specifically is Thursina harbour
(-2). The intensity is moderate, occurring as long as the wastewater system,
ammonia nitrate facility and the harbour are in function (-4). Various other
components may get influenced since plankton is a primary producer in the
water body (-4). Impact may continue given that plant facility and the harbour
are functioning, but not cumulative (-2) as proven by variety and diversity of
planktonic organisms in PT PKT which has been operated for more than 30
years. Impact is therefore local and reversible (-2) provided that other
environmental components be properly managed in a sustainable way.

4.2.3.2. Macrobenthos a. Prediction of Impact Magnitude
High turbidity due to the higher intensity of product shipment and/or
maintenance dredging, oil spill, wastewater of higher temperature, quality and
quantity of combined wastewater were identified to change the physical and
chemical properties of the water in the project site. Directly, those matters may
impede physiological and reproduction of macrobenthos in the bottom
sediment of the harbour. Indirectly, these may occur simultaneously with the
disappearance of planktonic life.
b. Prediction of Impact Importance Habitat change is often fatal for this relatively immobile group of animals.
Moreover, warm water effluent, new species introduced if water ballast is not

general are indicated to hamper the physiology and reproduction of this group.
Simultaneously, indirect impact may occur from the hold back of planktonic
communities which indeed is fairly moderate in quality and quantity (EQ 3).
Therefore, potential impacts that may occur during the operational period of
the facility and the harbour is evaluated as negatively important (-4) for
macrobenthic organisms in the site.
In approximate, 11 – 20% of human population in the surroundings are

Impact is therefore local and reversible (-2) provided that other environmental

components be properly managed in a sustainable way
4.2.3.3. Nekton
a. Prediction of Impact Magnitude Higher intensity of product shipment and/or maintenance dredging, oil spill,
ballast water, wastewater of higher temperature, quality and quantity of
combined wastewater were recognized to restrain the amenity of nektonic
communities used to visit the harbour. Indirectly, it may affect through the
vanishing trophic levels at the bottom of trophic pyramid.
b. Prediction of Impact Importance In the long run, ample depth of water column, amenity, and safety from
poaching and fishing in a restricted area, availability of various species of
plankton as nursing communities for nekton, strongly predicted to encourage
nekton to visit and live in the harbour as their sanctuary. In that view, by
applying proper management, then augmentation of shipment frequency along
with its associated activities, for example maintenance dredging, may comes
out as a positive impact (+3) for nektonic organisms; and in turn toward the
traditional fisheries outside the safety border of the harbour.
The impacts of maintenance dredging in the harbour, frequency of product
shipments, and warm wastewater of PT KNI assumed to be relatively
unimportant to the human population living nearby the project site (+1).
Ecologically, the impacts be reasonably important as it occur in a narrow space
(+2), moderately intense for long period, i.e. as long as the harbour, the facility,
and the wastewater system are in function (+4). A few other environmental
components may be affected (+1) considering that nekton is normally graded
high in the food pyramid. Negative impacts toward nekton may be cumulative
(-2) during land preparation period and physical construction of the facility, but
predicted to be recovered at the commencement of the operational period of
the facility (+3), i.e. with the condition that all other environmental components
be properly maintained. In other harbours of PT PKT, the quality and quantity
of nektonic organisms are satisfactory. This is inferred from the fact that fish

usually perform a homing behaviour to overcome worsened water quality. As a
result, operational of the facility which intensify shipment frequency, harbour

6.3. SOCIAL-ECONOMIC-CULTURE COMPONENT
6.2.1. LAND PREPARATION PHASE Land preparation phase activities include: (a) Survey and measurement (b) Land
procurement (c) Labour recruitment (d) equipment and material mobilization (e)
land clearing and (f) land preparation. Significant impact sources in land
preparation phase are (1) Labour recruitment; (2) Land clearing, and (3) land preparation.
The existing impacts and predicting impacts in land preparation phase are as
follows:
6.2.1.1. Demography Impact on demography emerges due to labour recruitment activity for land
clearing and land preparation. Incoming labours from outside area will increase
population even though only temporarily, thus in-migration data will increase.
The incoming labours to the area will increase population which its density has
been high enough, even though possibly only temporarily. Since the impact will
occur temporarily and the numbers of labours recruited are not much, thus impact
can be categorized as insignificant negative impact.
6.2.1.2. Job Opportunity Job opportunity will occur during land clearing and land preparation activities,
since there will be labour recruitment. The labours can come from the surrounding
project area, or from outside Bontang areas.
Considering on numbers of humans impacted, impact can be said significant due
to labours involved in the activities such as material (used for land filling) loading
and unloading in the quarry area, are quite high. Duration of impact is only
temporarily. Impact distribution is quite large since land clearing will lead to
disappearing mangrove and disturbing flora and fauna condition, thus will also
impact on fishery.
Based on explanation above, impact caused by land preparation on job
opportunity is categorized as positive significant impact.
Study on Living Environmental Impact of Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT. KNI
Chapter VI: Significant Impact Prediction VI - 51
6.2.1.3. Aesthetic and Amenity Impact on aesthetic and amenity will emerge during equipment and material
mobilization. Material and equipment transported is potential to disturb community
amenity/convenience and environmental aesthetic. Emerging impact especially is
related to noise, vibration, increasing air pollution due to dust and vehicle
combustion, as well as transportation accidences. Impact occurs during
equipment and material mobilization to/from project location. However,
considering quarry area are not so far from the project location and the
mobilization does not pass community settlement, the emerging impact can be
said as insignificant negative impact.
6.2.1.4. Community Unrest Labour recruitment as well as equipment and material mobilization during PT KNI
location land preparation will emerge community unrest.
Equipment and material mobilization causing amenity disturbance due to heavy
transportation in the related project site will lead to community unrest.
Land clearing activity causing mangrove disappearing and environmental
disturbance due to mangrove functions as several biota’s habitat will also lead to
community unrest especially among NGO’ leaders in Loktuan.
Factory construction information has given expectation to community especially
those related to labour recruitment. On the other hands, labours recruitment has
also driven community unrest due to job opportunity uncertainties as well as
labour selection. Community unrest emerges as a result of their experience that
so far actually, a lot of labours coming from outside Bontang have been recruited
for construction and factories’ operation located in industrial complex of PKT.
Community unrest also emerges due to unclearness or not knowing about factory
product that is ammonium nitrate. Following table indicates 54% respondents
have known factory construction plan in their area, however they do not know the
“ammonium nitrate” terminology asked by the team of study.

They only know that “explosive material” factory will be constructed in the location
adjacent to their area. Even, part of Guntung Village respondents whereas their
settlement is far enough from the project site have pronounced their worrying on
“explosive material”. The most worrying appears among Loktuan NGOs. They
worry about potential hazards of the “explosive material”, considering there will be
an accident causing explosion during production process that leads to
community’s jeopardy. They do not know that PT KNI only produce “explosive
material” used for “explosive” and not “explosive” itself. Moreover the information
is received especially from village officers and others (friends, relatives, and
neighbours from mouth to mouth).
In the end community unrest is potential to emerge community negative
perception in Guntung Village, and especially Loktuan Village which its location
closes to the project site. Thus emerging impact is characterized negative.
Considering a large numbers of community impacted, a large area of impact
distribution, and a long impact duration, emerging impact is categorized as
negative significant impact.
6.2.1.5. Perception
Community unrest will lead to community negative perception. The negative
perception emerges as a sequel impact due to labour recruitment, land clearing,
Study on Living Environmental Impact of Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT. KNI
Chapter VI: Significant Impact Prediction VI - 53
and land preparation activities those impact on amenity, job opportunity, and
followed by perception.
Negative perception also emerges due to inadequate information given to the
communities; they have not yet received socialization. Actually, positive impact will
emerge if the communities have received clear information about project activities
in viewing respondents are also stated about positive impacts possibly received
from the construction. Following table indicates community’s perception on positive
and negative impacts.

Including in environmental degradation complained by the community is related to
the stink odour coming from the existing factories. They worry that such impact
will be more intensified by PT KNI activities. They also complain on noise and air
pollution that emerge due to existing transportation activities.
Land clearing and land preparation activities causing mangrove disappearing
Study on Living Environmental Impact of Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT. KNI
Chapter VI: Significant Impact Prediction VI - 54
have led to community’s complaint. Such complaint should be taken into account,
reasoning NGOs especially in Loktuan Village are actively announcing their
aspiration. One of Loktuan NGO leaders during interviewed, has said his regret
on 13 hectares mangrove clearing for PT KNI land reclamation purposes, and his
worries on the environmental impacted.
Such community’s unrests predicted will lead to community negative perception,
thus impact can be categorized as significant negative impact.
6.2.2. CONSTRUCTION PHASE
Construction phase activities include: (1) Labour recruitment, (2) equipment and
contraction material mobilization; (3) factory construction; and (4) labour and
material demobilization. The activities will impact on demography, job opportunity,
effort opportunity, earning, aesthetic and amenity, custom, community unrest, and
perception.
6.2.2.1. Demography
During construction, more labours will be needed. Labours will come both from
Bontang as well as outside Bontang. Labour recruitment will increase in-migration
numbers. Labour recruitment will be based on skill qualification including unskilled
labours. Those labours are possibly coming both from Bontang as well as outside
Bontang. However, due to the specific factory needs high skilled workers, the
factory will recruit workers from outside Bontang. Though the worker numbers will
not be high, impact on demography can be categorized as insignificant negative
impact.
6.2.2.2. Job Opportunity
Factory construction activity predicted will impact on community’s job opportunity
and potential to affect their livelihood. Guntung and Loktuan respondent majority
have various livelihoods. However, from resulted interview, the community
unemployed level is quite high, especially those with Junior/Senior high
education.
Study on Living Environmental Impact of Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT. KNI
Chapter VI: Significant Impact Prediction VI - 55
Thus, they expect that job opportunity will occur in parallel with the new factory
construction in their area. To be factory workers are communities’ hopes,
moreover the communities have seen existing factory workers and their families’
lifestyle that have much better welfare level. This condition emerges social
jealousy especially among original communities, while most of factory workers are
coming from outside Bontang.
Based on the explanation above, construction activities will cause positive significant impact on job opportunity.
6.2.2.3. Effort Opportunity
Construction activities will cause positive and negative impacts on effort
opportunity. Impact will be positive if the construction provides effort opportunity to
local community such as efforts of food stall, small shop, ojek service, boarding
house etc. Negative if the construction cannot provide any effort opportunity to the
community. Positive and negative impact on effort opportunity will emerge
especially in service/informal sector.
Due to the construction phase will take long enough time, and will impact on
numbers of communities, impact can be categorized as positive significant impact.
6.2.2.4. Earning
Positive impact on job and effort opportunities will lead to increasing community’s
earning and in the end will increase community’s welfare. Thus physically, daily
needs can be more fulfilled, and socially, the gotten job will increase their safety
feeling and will increase their selves esteem.
Based on the explanation above, impact can be categorized as positive
significant impact.
6.2.2.5. Aesthetic and Amenity
Equipment and construction material mobilization as well as demobilization will
impact on aesthetic and amenity, due to its potential in causing noise, vibration,
air pollution including dust, and possible traffic accident.
Study on Living Environmental Impact of Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT. KNI
Chapter VI: Significant Impact Prediction VI - 56
Thus impact can be categorized as negative significant impact.
6.2.2.6. Custom/Social Process
Construction phase activity will include labour recruitment both expert, skilled and
unskilled workers. This means labours will also come from outside Bontang and
due to different custom and behaviour will cause community’s social process
disturbance and leads to community’s dispute. Labour recruitment also can
emerge social jealousy. Thus impact can be categorized as negative significant
impact.
6.2.2.7. Community Unrest
Disharmonies relation between out comers and local community will cause
community unrest, and leads to social conflict due to sociologically they are
different. Labour recruitment will also impact on community unrest if local labour
absorption process does not work well.
Occurring competition will also emerge social jealousy between local community
and out comers and lead to negative impact in the form of community unrest.
Community unrest also will emerge due to amenity disturbance caused by
equipment and construction material mobilization as well as demobilization.
Based on explanation above construction activities impact on community unrest
can be categorized as negative significant impact.
6.2.2.8. Community perception
Negative community perception emerges as a sequel impact from community’s
unrest. Community’s unrests especially those pronounced by Loktuan NGO
should take into account. Even though NGO numbers are small, however they
have nerves to pronounce protest and complaint openly.
Thus construction impact on community perception can be categorized as
negative significant impact.
Study on Living Environmental Impact of Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT. KNI
Chapter VI: Significant Impact Prediction VI - 57
6.2.3. OPERATION PHASE
Operation phase activities include (1) workers recruitment, (2) production process
(3) waste treatment, and (4) product shipping; and will impact on demography, job
and effort opportunity, earning, aesthetic and amenity, custom/social process,
community unrest and community perception.
6.2.3.1. Demography
Workers recruitment during operation activities will impact on demography. A
numbers of labour/workers will come to the area and will be living even only
temporarily. Impact will be more significant if the workers’ families also come to the
area. Incoming workers will impact to demography, population in the area will
increase.
Thus factory operation impacts on demography can be categorized as negative
significant impact.
6.2.3.2. Job opportunity
Labour recruitment, production process and product shipping will increase local
community job opportunity especially unskilled workers and middle skill workers.
This condition is expected by local community in Loktuan and Guntung due to
unemployed level is quite high in the area. If a lot of local workers absorbed
impact will be positive, on the other hands if numbers of workers absorbed is
small impact will be negative.
Thus, impact can be categorized as positive significant impact.
6.2.3.3. Job opportunity
For local community production process and product shipping activities can provide
job opportunity. They can work in informal/service sectors such as food stall, small
shop, ojek service, boarding house etc. Job opportunity will occur due to the
community can supply labours/workers needs.
Thus impact can be categorized as positive significant impact.
Study on Living Environmental Impact of Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT. KNI
Chapter VI: Significant Impact Prediction VI - 58
6.2.3.4. Earning
Production process, labours/workers recruitment and product shipping will impact
on community’s job opportunity and effort opportunity, in the end will impact on
community’s earning, especially individual and household level. This reason is
based on questionnaire results that are a lot of community have income < Rp
1,100,000/month or equal with Bontang City UMR.
Thus impact can be categorized as positive significant impact.
6.2.3.5. Aesthetic and Amenity
Principally, aesthetic disturbance emerges due to factory erection, the initial open
space green area changes to building covering area, moreover if in the factory
area there is not any green area.
The existing amenity disturbance occurs in the study area is ammoniac odour
coming from PKT area causing several communities dizziness or sometimes
causing vomiting. Their concern is the ammoniac odour will increase by the time
Ammonium Nitrate Factory of PT KNI operated.
Noise and dust are not their concerns however unsafe feeling due to “explosive
material” has much caused community’s inconvenience feeling.
Thus impact of factory operation on aesthetic and amenity can be categorized as
negative significant impact.
6.2.3.6. Custom/social Process
Incoming labours from outside Bontang is potential to cause community unrest
and social process crisis due to the incoming labours bring their own custom and
behaviour that probably different with local community’s.
Thus impact of factory operation on custom and social process can be categorized
as negative significant impact
6.2.3.7. Community Unrest
Unrest will emerge in relation with local community’s job opportunity, effort
opportunity, earning, and amenity which are related to production process,
Study on Living Environmental Impact of Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT. KNI
Chapter VI: Significant Impact Prediction VI - 59
transportation (material transported to/from factory), pollution (odour, dust, noise),
and concern on explosion hazard.
Thus impact of factory operation on community unrest can be categorized as
negative significant impact.
6.2.3.8. Perception
Labours recruitment predicted will emerge positive perception in the circumstance
local community are many absorbed to work in various factory activities. On the
other hands labour recruitment will also emerge negative perception in the
circumstance numbers of in-migration are many recruited to work in the factory
activities, this will lead to social jealousy, and conflict in social process.
Community’s positive perception will also emerge in the circumstance their
aspirations are accommodated in factory operation especially in labour
recruitment and factory’s benefit on the community. From resulted interview with
community’s leaders especially Guntung Head Officer, they expect the factory
should have initiative to give helping/caring to the community and not due to
community’s proposes. However, the factory is impossible to recruit more local
workers concerning the job types will need high qualification workers. As a result,
factory will not give significant impact on decreasing unemployed community. This
will lead to community negative perception.
Thus impact of factory operation on community perception can be categorized as
negative significant impact

CHAPTER VII SIGNIFICANT IMPACT EVALUATION
7.1. SIGNIFICANT IMPACT EVALUATION
Evaluation of significant impact on environmental component is holistically study
on various emerging significant impacts due to Ammonium Nitrate Factory
construction activity initiated by PT Kaltim Nitrate Indonesia (PT KNI). The
various significant impacts are investigated as an interrelated and inter-affected
unity, based on predicted significant impacts possibly emerge in the context of
spatial and temporal determination.
Resulted evaluation is used as a decision tool by responsible institution in
deciding environmental feasibility of the activity plan. Resulted evaluation on
large and significant impact is presented as significant impacts that must be
managed.
The existence of Ammonium Nitrate Factory construction activity plan located in
Guntung Village, North Bontang District, Bontang City will cause positive or
negative impact on environmental components. Significant impacts are evaluated
holistically based on activity description, living environmental initial condition, and
significant impact prediction.
To evaluate impact holistically, Fisher-Davies method is used. This method is
suitable used for dynamic and changing rapidly activities’ plan especially those
located in the city area. The method, principally, is comparing existing condition
(without project) to the future condition (with project) in the form of interaction
matrix between activity component and environmental component. Analyses
results using this method, then, is poured into the matrix of significant impact
evaluation results to show impact importance level required in Living
Environmental Management Plan (RKL) and Living Environmental Monitoring
Plan (RPL) arrangement
Environmental quality is reflected in the scales of environmental quality and
environmental importance. In the matrix, interaction between activity components
and environmental components is scaled by impact level and importance. Scale
Study on Living Environmental Impact of Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT. KNI
Chapter VII : Significant Impact Evaluation VII - 2
of impact level is based on the resulted field measurements, available
data/information, and/or the resulted calculation, followed by comparing them to
environmental standard level, or disturbance standard level. The importance of
impact is determined by scaling community interest on these environmental
qualities. From the total calculation, the change of environmental quality can be
determined both in the percentage as well as in the scale. In the circumstance of
future environmental quality percentage is larger than or the same with the initial
(without project) environmental quality, the activity still can be said as
environmentally feasible, however, several conditions must be fulfilled.
Significant impact is evaluated holistically referred to the criteria mentioned in
Government Regulation No. 27/1999:
1. The amount of impacted human,
2. The width of impact distribution area,
3. The impact intensity and duration,
4. The amount of impacted environmental components,
5. Cumulative impact characteristics,
6. Impact reversible/irreversible.
Impact level is divided into two categories, that is significant (P) and
insignificant (TP), impact characteristics is also divided into two categories, that
is positive (+) and negative (-).
Resulted significant impact holistically evaluated and must be managed are
presented on Table 7.1, Table 7.2, Table 7.3. and Table 7.4.

6.2. CHOOSING THE BEST ALTERNATIVE
Significant impact on living environment evaluation of a planned effort
and/or activity that is needed in decision process of holding effort and/or
activity has to be carried out. While several activities potential as impact
sources should have several alternatives, both that have been planned
since the beginning as well as have been resulted during study proceed.
In this environmental impact study of Ammonium Nitrate Plant will be
constructed in North Bontang District, Bontang City, East Kalimantan
Province initiated by PT. Kaltim Nitrate Indonesia, as environmental study
arranged as a part of feasibility studies (living environmental aspect), the
initiator does not have any location, design, and process alternatives as it is
presented in Chapter II. Thus the Activity Description presented in the
chapter is assumed as the best alternative.
However, besides technical and economical considerations, any living
environment consideration has also been integrated in choosing alternative
process. In alternative determination on this Chapter II, the decision of
chosen alternative has been confirmed that is also considering and applying
pollution control principles in the environmental management reference.
6.3. EVALUATION AS MANAGEMENT BASE
Based on significant impact that must be managed presented on Table 7.1–
Table 7.4. , living environmental management direction for each activity phase of
ammonium nitrate factory construction is arranged. Detail living environmental
management direction is presented on Table 7.5, Table 7.6., 7.7. and Table 7.8.

Chapter VI : Significant Impact Evaluation VI - 10
6.4. RECOMENDATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL FEASIBILITY EVALUATION
Significant impact evaluation process to holistically investigate the tendencies of
significant impact of all activity components on all environmental components
and sub components in fact has found several limitations in interpretation
calculation results that are approached semi quantitatively for environmental
feasibility decision.
The first limitation; in the condition using 6 criteria of impact importance based on
Government Regulation No. 27/1999 or Decree of Head of the Environmental
Impact Management Board Number KEP-056/BAPEDAL/1994, the criteria
cannot be operated in large and important impact evaluation holistically. Several
addition criteria have to be used in each impact importance level criterion,
environmental quality scale criterion, and impact importance level decision
process criterion. Legally, these addition criteria have not yet been decided,
therefore, several scientific optional are used in alternative criteria, thus, the
results probably will vary among the researchers.
The second limitation; after deciding impact importance level of each activity
component or environmental component, the following step is still needed to
decide importance level of all activity components on all environmental
components and/or vice versa. The impact importance level regulation of large
and important impacts caused by certain activity has not yet been decided
specifically. Therefore, several scientific optional are used in alternative criteria,
thus, the results probably will vary among the researchers.
The third limitation; the criteria used in conversion of environmental parameter
values to environmental quality scale, impact importance level, and susceptibility
level on environmental management are utilizing non-ordinal numeric (Leopold
scale and/or Liechert scale). Such results are only numerically/statistically
significant, however, the results cannot significantly picture the environmental
conditions which are ecologically complex, and their environmental gradations
are not sufficient if only represented by non-ordinal numeric scales. The fourth
limitation; the results which are approached semi quantitatively to determine
environmental change holistically due to activity that will be planned in certain
ecosystem, are still needed subsequent interpretation. Bias is commonly
occurred in determining criteria value agreement or in the interpretation process
Study on Living Environmental Impact of Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT. KNI
Chapter VI : Significant Impact Evaluation VI - 11
of final conclusion scale. The change gradation of environmental quality or
ecology change gradient is quite humbling if only represented by value change in
non-ordinal numeric scale.
The fifth limitation; only environmental standard level or disturbance standard
level of observable and measurable environmental parameters including its
availability quantitative unit and measurement instrument can be determined.
However, other environmental parameters, even biota condition parameter, their
quantitative magnitudes interpretation are not significant at all in the
circumstance of the occurring community structure difference or local specific
environmental characteristics. Thus, value of the same parameters will not
warrant to also representing the same ecology quality conditions.
Several parameters not fully measurable, such as socio-culture condition, using
non-ordinal numeric is only presser with the purpose of data can be statistically
analyses and look like as quantitative data.
The limitations mentioned above, factually and significantly are common to be
found in this environmental study, which are legally scenario as an input to
environmental feasibility decision process of activity plan on its surrounding living
environment.
Concerning such limitations and method limitation used and adopted in this
study, hence, referred to resulting significant impact holistically evaluation of
Ammonium Nitrate Factory PT Kaltim Nitrate Indonesia construction activity plan
in North Bontang District, Bontang City, East Kalimantan Province initiated by PT
Kaltim Nitrate Indonesia, will increase living environmental quality percentage
without any increasing living environmental quality scale, therefore the activity
plan can be explained as conditional environmentally feasible.
In this study, holistically impact evaluation of all significant impacts has resulted
conditional environmental feasibility decisions (only and if only). Positive impact
can be reached only and if only PT Kaltim Nitrate Indonesia as the activity
initiator conducts living environmental management and monitoring plans
recommended in Environmental Management Plan (RKL) and Environmental
Monitoring Plan (RPL) documents.
