The development objective of the Geothermal Energy Upstream Development Project for Indonesia is to facilitate investments in geothermal energy. The focus of the Project will be on the geothermal power market in Eastern Indonesia in order to increase access to electricity in areas with high poverty rates and expensive diesel-fired power generation. Some of the negative impacts are includes : (i) land clearance for well pads, roads, pipelines and supporting infrastructure will cause direct damage or destruction to natural habitats. (ii) water abstractions and discharges to water of treated wastewater or drilling fluids and other wastescause direct or indirect impacts onhabitats and species. (iii) pollution of water or water abstractions affects other waterusers. (iv) spills of hazardous materials. (v) interference from pumping orreinjection of geothermal water, orfrom abstraction of freshwater. (vi) impacts on aquifer levels from over-abstraction for fresh watersupplies. (vii) dust emissions from road construction, land clearance, siteactivities. (viii) involuntary resettlement for quarries, roads, well pads,pipelines and other sites whereland is required, leading to loss of livelihood and social disconnection. (ix) unauthorized access to drilling rig sand storage or treatment ponds. Some of the mitigation mesures are includes : (i) remove and decommission infrastructure after exploration and rehabilitateareas quickly, re-contour where necessary to natural ground conditions andreplant with native species or commercial species (depending on land use). (ii) separate different waste streams and treat via ponds, dosing, cooling andother methods before discharge to land or water bodies. (iii) rmpty septic tanks regularly and dispose sludge to landfill. (iv) separate waste streams and recycle, compost and reuse waste wherepossible. (v) identify and avoid significant features (values such as cultural, historical,spiritual, scientific, biological, landscape, ecotourism etc.) (vi) model yield to ensure sustainable groundwater use. (vii) control dust with water during windy and dry conditions. (viii) consult widely and identify all affected persons, including squatters. (ix) fencing around well site, ponds and pits.
