and construction of the Babah Le emergency sanitary


landfill site at Lamno. The landfill was constructed on
a government-owned 2 ha parcel of land in Kecamatan
Kota Lamno located approximately 10km from Lamno.
Appendix A shows evidence of land ownership (No:
923/324/2008). In regards to siting, the project location
was selected according to the recommended guidelines
as stated in the International Finance Corporation (IFC)
Environment, Health and Safety Guidelines for Waste
Management Facilities (2006).

The Babah Le, Lamno landfill and associated facilities


were constructed in October 2006, during the Tsunami
emergency relief period; landfill operations began in
September 2007. Landfill operations including the
receipt, compaction and daily covering of wastes are
managed by Dispenda. The collection of waste from
designated areas is carried out by Dispenda with
technical and financial assistance from UNDP and
NGOs.

2. SCOPE
2.1 Site Description
The Lamno Landfill covers a total area of approximately 2ha and is located at
05°07.787N and 95°19.421E in Babah Le, Kota Lamno. The Site is approximately 2km
west of Meudhen, 1.7 km from the west coasts of Aceh and 10km northwest of Lamno.
The general location of the Babah Le, Lamno landfill is depicted in Figure 1. According
to the Simplified Geological Map of Sumatra (Figure 2), the landfill is situated on Lower
Cretaceous deposits consisting of Woyla Group Rawas, Peneta and Asai sediments. The
detailed geology map of Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam by SLGSR-GSR (2008) indicates
that the landfill is located in an area underlain with an unconsolidated accumulation of
stream-deposited sediments, including sands, silt, clays and gravels.
The main project components are:
• The landfill cell;
• Leachate collection system and treatment ponds;
• Access road and entrance area;
• Written operational plan to ensure proper landfill operation;
Figure 3 shows the Site topography and layout. The Site is unfenced and there is no
guardhouse at or near the entrance. Figure 4 shows the location of the landfill cell, site
entrance and leachate ponds within the project area. The nearest sensitive
environmental receptors to the landfill have been identified using the topographical
map of Banda Aceh (Figure 5). The location of landfill is marked on the map based on
the coordinates above. According to UNDP staff, the nearest residential receptors are
Meudheun and Ujung Sudeun villages, located 700m north and 1.2km southeast of the
landfill, respectively (Figure 6).
The Site is accessible from the main public road, Jalan Banda Aceh - Calang, via a
purpose built unsealed base course road (Plate 1). A natural greenbelt (approximately
500m wide) surrounds the Site and serves as a buffer zone to minimise potential
aesthetic impacts created by the Site. An unnamed stream runs along the western
boundary of the Site (Figure 3).
No baseline data concerning the quality of groundwater or the direction of
groundwater flow was available at the time of report preparation. However based on
analysis of the aerial imagery of the catchment area (Figure 6) groundwater is expected
to flow in a southerly direction towards the Krueng Tunong River. UNDP staff have
stated that local villages located to the north and southeast of the Site utilise
groundwater for drinking and domestic use purposes. The village of Meudheun to the
north is located 700m upstream of the site. Another village, Ujong Sudeun is located
1.2km downstream of the Site to the southeast. Despite being downstream the village is
located on the opposite side of the Kreung Tunong River (Figure 6) and since
groundwater flow is likely to be in continuity with the river (ie towards the river) this
creates an opposing flow to that from the Lamno Site. Therefore, any groundwater
contamination emanating from Lamno cannot impact on the groundwater at this
extraction location.

2.2 Waste Collection, Handling and Transport


During a site inspection by the Consultant on 15th April 2008, it was observed that the
Site appeared well engineered. Waste is collected from the houses, markets and offices
of Jaya, which is located within the Regency of Aceh Jaya. Waste is predominantly
collected from markets and from waste sources located along government roads
connecting the various market sites. Waste collection in the aforementioned areas is
carried out using one (1) dump truck and one (1) armroll truck at maximum of two (2)
trips per vehicle per day.
Site operations concerning the receipt and compaction of waste are carried out
periodically by DISPENDA workers under the direction of the landfill manager. Waste
vehicles tip wastes directly into the cell – a planned tipping sequence has been
prepared for the Site.
UNDP (July 2008) estimated some 400m3 waste has been deposited in the Lamno
landfill. Based on this data and a topographical survey (Figure 3), the remaining life
span is estimated to be 1 year. Once the cell is full it will be capped and sealed. The
closure plan is discussed as part of this DDPL.
2.3 Environmental Management
The environmental management practices performed on-site are discussed in the
following sections:
• According to UNDP documents, records and photograph archives relating to
landfill construction, the landfill was designed as a sanitary landfill. The design
intention of the landfill was to create a liner to contain and manage leachate
appropriately so as to prevent migration to groundwater. Based on a review of the
design and construction documentation and the clay compacted to form the base
and sides of the landfill it appears that the landfill has been constructed in
accordance with the design intention. No quantitative evaluation of the compacted
clay is possible without extensive and disruptive on-site testing but based on the
information provided it is probable that a permeability coefficient of 1x10-7 cm/s
has been achieved.
• The cell was constructed with a network of basal leachate drainage pipes
surrounded by a gravel drainage medium. This drainage system is linked via
underground plastic pipes to a series of three leachate treatment ponds (refer to
Plate 3). Leachate is collected in the first pond, from where it overflows into the
second pond and subsequently to the third pond prior to discharge into the stream
(flowing in northerly direction) located at the western boundary of the Site. The
final treated leachate will be discharged into the receiving stream (Plate 5).
• The Site has been designed as a ‘single cell’ landfill which will not be capped until
completely full. At present any gasses produced within the body of waste deposits
can freely vent to atmosphere. After capping the landfill will have passive gas vents
installed to prevent any dangerous build up of gasses.
• A planned tipping sequence has been created for the Site. Waste is periodically
compacted using an mechanical excavator. Compaction of the waste reduces air
spaces and increases waste density thus maximising the quantity of waste that the
landfill can safely contain.
• Deposited wastes are periodically covered by a thin layer of soil. This minimises
any vector, rodent and odour issues. According to UNDP and the personnel in-
charge of the Site, there have been no complaints from the local community
concerning landfill operations.

• A green buffer consisting of approximately 500m of vegetation surrounds the Site


and serves to improve aesthetics and minimise dust or odour nuisance to the
surrounding receptors.
• Duramats (provided by UNDP) are available to allow the movement of heavy
equipment/vehicles across wet and/or muddy areas within and around the waste
cell.

3. EVALUATION OF ONGOING ACTIVITIES


Prior to the current landfill facility, waste was disposed of in uncontrolled open dumps.
Considering this previous disposal arrangement, the overall long-term impact from the
construction and operation of the Lamno landfill will be positive. The landfill cell is
estimated to have been constructed with a total waste capacity of approximately 1,300
m3. The Site has so far received approximately 400 m3 of municipal waste. Inadequate
operational management and closure arrangements at the landfill could lead to various
potential environmental, community and health and safety impacts, including;
• Generation of liquid leachate and gas from the decomposition of waste. Leachate,
which consists of organic and inorganic compounds, is a hazardous liquid that if
not controlled properly, can affect surface water quality and also percolate into the
sub-surface impacting upon the soil and/or groundwater.
• The decomposition of wastes within a landfill leads to the generation of gases which
can include methane, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, hydrogen, hydrogen sulphate,
oxygen and volatile organic compounds in varying relative concentrations. The
build-up of landfill gas within the landfill cell may create an explosion risk which
would in turn present health and safety hazards to Site employees and/or the local
community. These hazards are mitigated due to the fact that the landfill is a ‘single
cell’ design which will not be capped until completely full. At present any gasses
produced within the body of waste deposits can freely vent to the atmosphere.
After capping the landfill will have passive gas vents installed to prevent any
dangerous build up of gasses.
• Fires, odour nuisances or increases in vectors resulting from poor landfill
management practices can lead to sanitary and public health concerns and negative
public perceptions.
• Various issues related to rainfall infiltration and excessive generation of leachate
resulting from improper closure of the Site.
3.1 Evaluation of Potential Sub-Surface Impacts
• The Site has been constructed with a leachate containment system consisting of a
clay liner to prevent leachate from entering the sub-surface and a drainage system
to remove leachate from the base of the cell for treatment in ponds prior to
discharge into the receiving stream.
• Based on the design and construction documentation, compacted clay was used to
form the base and sides of the landfill. From the Site inspection (15th April 2008), the
landfill has been constructed in accordance with the design intention. No
quantitative evaluation of the compacted clay is possible without extensive and
disruptive on-site testing. However, based on the information provided, it is
possible that a permeability coefficient of 1x10-7cm/s has been achieved. It is thus
assumed that the liner effectively prevents leachate infiltration into the
groundwater.
• Site observations carried out by UNDP representatives have noted that settlements
in the area extract groundwater for daily consumption. The nearest residential area
is approximately 700m upstream of the Site. Therefore in the event of leachate
contamination of the groundwater aquifer, the plume should not impact the quality
of groundwater upstream. Another village, Ujong Sudeun is located 1.2km
downstream of the Site to the southeast. Despite being downstream the village is
located on the opposite side of the Kreung Tunong River (Figure 6) and since
groundwater flow is likely to be in continuity with the river (ie towards the river)
this creates an opposing flow to that from the Lamno Site. Therefore, any

groundwater conntamination emanating from Lamno cannot impact on the


groundwater at this extraction location.
• Analysis of leachate sample confirms that surface water surrounding the Site is free
from leachate contamination through treatment via a series of ponds. The leachate
ponds are reportedly lined with clay and compacted soil to avoid unwanted
intrusion into the groundwater system.

3.2 Evaluation of Leachate Treatment Ponds and Surface Waters


As discussed previously, the site is bordered by a stream on its southern boundary.
A series of three leachate treatment ponds collect and treat the leachate to minimise
any potential impacts on surface water quality.
It is apparent that the ponds are sized to be as big as practicable given the limited
available space outside of the waste cell. When inspected on 15th April 2008, there
were three (3) leachate ponds each sized approximately 3m W x 6m L x 2m D (36m3).
At present, leachate flows from the first pond (Pond A) to the second pond (Pond B)
and to the third pond (Pond C) before discharge into adjacent small stream flowing
along the western boundary of the Site.
In order to verify whether the treatment ponds are effectively treating leachate,
samples were taken from each pond and the local stream and analysed in a
laboratory. Results are presented in Appendix C. The samples were taken directly
from all three leachate ponds (Sample IDs – Pond A, Pond B and Pond C) and at a
points from the stream on the western boundary (Sample ID Stream) on 26th April
2008 (refer to Table 1 and Figure 7 for sampling locations). Sampling and analysis
was carried out by Alam Sekitar Malaysia, in collaboration with Meinhardt, and
results are presented in Table 2 below.

In summary, the results indicate generally decreasing leachate concentrations for all
analysed parameters from Pond A to Pond C. This indicates that the ponds are having a
positive impact on the leachate quality. BOD5 and COD concentrations show a decrease
from Pond A to Pond C further supporting the effectiveness of these treatment ponds.
Toluene was recorded in the all three leachate treatment pond (Pond A, B and C) with a
concentration of 70µg/L, 35 µg/L and 10 µg/L, respectively but not present in the
sample taken from the stream (Stream).
No samples were able to be taken from the final leachate discharge point itself,
therefore the exact constituents and concentration of final leachate quality are unknown
but can be inferred by reference to the Pond C sample. The sample taken from the
stream is considered to be indicative of surface water quality downstream of the
leachate discharge point respectively. Studying the result for the Stream sample will
provide an indication of the possible influence of leachate discharges on local surface
water quality.
Stream sample results were compared against local and international water quality
guidelines to determine any potential impacts from landfill operations to the existing
water quality. Water quality results for the stream sample were firstly compared
against the Indonesian water quality standards No.82, 2001for water quality
management and the control of water pollution. Results indicated that all parameters
for the Stream sample were within the recommended limits (where available) except for
Zinc (0.066mg/L)– with negligible exceedance of the recommended limit of 0.05mg/L
for Class II standards i.e. used for recreation, fish farms, agriculture and irrigation.
Water quality results for stream sample were also compared against. The Australia and
New Zealand Fresh and Marine Water Quality Guidelines Australian and New
Zealand, Quality Guidelines (2000) [ANZECC & ARMCANZ (2000)]. These guidelines
are often referred to for water quality and/or aquatic ecosystem management purposes
to ensure that a water source is free from harmful physical, microbiological and
chemical contaminants. Sample results indicated that all parameters are within the
recommended limits (where available) for the Stream with the exception of Copper and
Zinc. Copper in the Stream sample (0.002mg/L) was found to marginally exceed the
ANZECC standard of 0.0018mg/Lmg/L. Zinc in the Stream sample (0.066mg/L) was
found to be 4.4 times the ANZECC and ARMCANZ (2000) recommended limit of
0.015mg/L. Zinc is known to occur naturally (generally at concentrations <0.01 mg/l)
(AWDG) but may cause taste problems at concentrations higher than >3 mg/l. The
concentrations of Zinc detected are below this sensory threshold and are also detected
at higher concentrations in the stream than found in the leachate treatment ponds,
suggesting that the landfill is not the source of this pollutant.
In terms of the samples taken from the leachate ponds themselves, ammonia
concentrations were indicated to have increased initially from 18.0mg/L in Pond A to
18.3mg/L in Pond B but decreased to 3.51mg/L in Pond C. Ammonia concentrations
taken in Stream was 0.42mg/L, which is below ANZECC and ARMCANZ (2000)
guidelines.
Based on the available data, it can be concluded that the ponds are functioning
according to the desired treatment (anaerobic/aerobic) efficiency, flow volumes and
retention times.
3.3 Evaluation of Air - Landfill Gases
No baseline studies concerning air quality have been conducted as part of this study.
However, during the inspection (15th April 2008) landfill gas odours were found to be
low. Releases of gases are suppressed due to waste placement methods and the
periodic compaction and covering of wastes with soil. As such, excessive amounts of
landfill gas are not expected in the future if the site operational procedures are
maintained.

The nearest sensitive receptors are the Site employees and a nearby settlement located
700m southeast of the Site. To date, there have been no complaints of odour from the
communities near the landfill.
3.4 Site Closure Plan
Subsequent to closure, the waste body will continue to decompose, generating leachate
and landfill gas. As such, proper closure of the waste cell is crucial to limit any
continued environmental impacts on soil, groundwater and surface water. A Site
closure plan has been developed by Meinhardt Infrastructure and Environment
Consultants. The existing landfill will be closed, graded and covered by a surface
sealing system.
The surface sealing system will consist of three distinct layers with a total thickness of
approximately 1.3m. The initial layer, immediately above the deposited wastes will
consist of 500mm of compacted clay which will have a permeability coefficient of 1 x 10-
7 cm/s in accordance with World Bank guidelines. Above this will be a 500mm middle

layer of compacted subsoil with a final layer of 300mm of topsoil above. The 300mm
thick topsoil layer is provided for seeding of grass (and other shallow root vegetation)
in accordance with the World Bank guidelines. The proposed thickness of the topsoil
layer is not designed to support the planting of cereals, root vegetables or trees. The
surface of the landfill will be vegetated with stable native grass for erosion control and
land remediation. The topography of the final landform will be contoured to facilitate
surface runoff to the surrounding streams.
The leachate ponds would continue to operate for a period of 10-20 years to treat
leachate drained or pumped from the landfill cell.
During closure, coordination with the authority is required to achieve an appropriate
use for the landfill Site. The construction of buildings and other structures (i.e.
settlements) on landfills containing putrescible waste, or the use of the area for
agricultural purposes is not recommended for a minimum period of 25 years after
closure due to concerns over combustible gas. Such activities will only be considered
and/or authorized after an investigation and report by qualified persons. It is
recommended that such a report include detailed monitoring of the groundwater
quality, surface water quality and landfill gas releases.
Acceptable levels would be the action levels dictated by Indonesia laws, decrees, and
regulations. The levels that will be enforced during decommissioning will be defined at
point of closure by relevant regulations enforced at that point of time. As the extraction
of the leachate from occupied landfill cells and closure of the interim landfill can be a
complicated process, a detailed decommissioning plan would be developed in order to
ensure potential environmental impacts are properly managed. This detailed plan will
specify the details of all decommissioning activities and take into account the
regulatory requirements.
A summary of the major impacts pertaining landfill operations are summarised in the
following table.

5. CONCLUSIONS

The construction and ongoing operation of Babah Le - Lamno sanitary landfill has
set a foundation for positive environmental impacts in Aceh Jaya Regency, over and
above the pre-existing waste management situation of the open dumping of wastes.

The Site has been designed as a sanitary landfill with compacted clay liners for the
landfill cell and leachate treatment ponds. Based on laboratory analysis, the leachate
treatment system successfully reduces organic and inorganic parameters prior to
final discharge into the nearby stream. Analysis of the water quality of the receiving
stream indicates that landfill operations are not having an adverse impact on water
quality.

There is no baseline data available regarding the quality of soil and/or groundwater,
before the landfill was constructed, therefore it is not possible to quantatively assess
any impact from landfill operations. However based upon this review of the
construction and operation of the Site, any potential impact upon the sub-surface
appears to have been minimised or negated. The nearest potential groundwater
extraction for human consumption are located upstream of the Site, therefore there
should be no potential impacts from landfill operations on the quality of
groundwater at these locations. Another village, Ujong Sudeun is located 1.2km
downstream of the Site to the southeast. Despite being downstream the village is
located on the opposite side of the Kreung Tunong River (Figure 6) and since
groundwater flow is likely to be in continuity with the river (ie towards the river)
this creates an opposing flow to that from the Lamno Site. Therefore, any
groundwater conntamination emanating from Lamno cannot impact on the
groundwater at this extraction location.

From the start of operations in September 2007 to date, there have been no
complaints from surrounding communities concerning landfill operations. Provided
that current management practices are maintained, there is no reason to presume
this situation should change over the course of the Site lifespan. Once full the Site
will be capped according to an engineered design by Meinhardt Consultants. Site
closure should be carried out according to this recommended closure plan, to ensure
minimal impacts to the environment. Once closed and capped, it may be possible to
utilise the Site area for limited recreational purposes. Any more intensive proposed
uses, including buildings, are not recommended for a minimum period of 25 years
from Site closure.
