ENVIRONMENTAL AND ENERGY MANAGEMENT

ENERGY ASSESSMENT PROJECT, WEST JAVA, INDONESIA (PHASE I)
Under Netherlands Government financing, BMB of the Netherlands being the main consultant and SEA as subcontractor, conducted an extensive energy assessment study in the Province of West Java. The study covered the following: assessment of non-oil energy resources and applications, identification of problem areas, and the development, testing and dissemination of feasible solutions. One of the focal points of the study was to design alternatives for the existing firewood crisis affecting the rural poor and the environment on overpopulated West Java.

REGIONAL ENERGY DEVELOPMENT PROJECT, WEST JAVA, INDONESIA (II)
The project aimed to provide the Directorate of Electric Power and New Energy (DJLEB) with a capability to implement regional energy planning, i.e., to develop a set of practical methods that can be duplicated in the other provinces in Indonesia. In collaboration with the provincial planning agency (BAPPEDA), DJLEB eventually produced an energy plan for the province which took into account all technical, financial, environmental and social evaluation of options available to the region. By the end of Phase II, a selection of implementable projects had been identified, accompanied by investment profiles. The project was a joint effort between SEA and P.T. BMB of Indonesia and was funded by the Netherlands government.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT (EIA) MODULAR STUDIES FOR MT. APO GEOTHERMAL PROJECT- FRESHWATER EIA: HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY, PHILIPPINES
SEA was commissioned by PNOC - Energy Development Corporation to undertake an environmental impact assessment of geothermal plant that proposed to be established in Mt. Apo in Mindanao.

The freshwater EIA focused on hydrology and water quality. It presented an environmental characterization of the past and present status of surface and ground waters likely to be affected by the operation of the geothermal project and assessed the sensitivity of surface and ground waters to potential impacts of the project. It also recommended environmental management strategies including preventive/contingency measures, and monitoring and research programs to maintain or enhance the existing quality of the concerned surface and ground water environments.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT (EIA) MODULAR STUDIES FOR MT. APO GEOTHERMAL PROJECT - FRESHWATER QUALITY: AQUATIC BIOLOGY, PHILIPPINES
As part of a series of modular studies to be undertaken relative to the proposed operation of a geothermal plant in Mt. Apo in Mindanao, SEA was contracted to make a freshwater environmental impact assessment on aquatic biology.

The assessment presented an environmental characterization of the freshwater biological resources of river systems likely to be affected by the operation of the geothermal project; the sensitivity of the freshwater biological resources of river systems to potential impacts of the project; and recommendations on environmental strategies.

PROMOTION OF WASTE RECYCLING AND REUSE IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES, REGIONAL
Together with Agro Vision Holland, a Dutch consulting firm, SEA undertook the project for the United Nations Centre for Human Settlements (HABITAT). The objective of the project was to stop the degradation of the urban environment through the identification and promotion of economically efficient and environmentally sound practices for managing solid wastes that take advantage of waste reuse. The project covered five major Asian cities: Jakarta, Manila, Bangkok, Kampur and Karachi. The study was undertaken and corresponding recommendatory measures were presented.

NEPAL PESTICIDE DEVELOPMENT PLAN, NEPAL
The project aimed to assist the government in improving the implementation of the pesticides Act 2048 and the Pesticides Regulations 2050 to control pesticides production, importation and use in the country and in undertaking the safe disposal of the remaining stock of expired pesticides.
