FOREWORD Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs or AMDALs) will be conducted for several proposed undertakings throughout NAD Province in the areas affected by the tsunami and earthquake disaster of December 2004. These EIAs are funded by the Multi Donor Fund (MDF) through UNDP Technical Assistance to the Badan Rehabilitasi dan Rekonstruksi (BRR) working with BAPEDAL (Environmental Impact Management Agency) Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam (NAD) Province. The Government of Aceh Jaya District plan to improve the Kuta Tuha – Panton Krueng Road, the Padang Kleng – Lhok Guci Road, and the Calang – Teunom Road represents one cluster of proposed undertakings requiring an EIA based on the State Ministry of the Environment Regulation No. 308, 2005, and the State Ministry of the Environment Regulation No. 11, 2006. The State Ministry of the Environment Regulation No. 308, 2005 (PerMenLH 308/2005) - Implementation of EIA, Environmental Management Effort (UKL), and Environmental Monitoring Effort (UPL) for Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Activities in NAD Province and Islands of Nias, North Sumatra Province was issued to enable more rapid and streamlined preparation and approval of project related environmental and social impact studies to assist in the rehabilitation and reconstruction of Aceh/Nias following the tsunami/earthquake. The process is referred to as the Streamlined EIA (AMDAL) Process. The formation of a Streamlined AMDAL Technical Team is required to undertake the EIA project scoping activities and prepare the EIA Terms of Reference (ToR) for the proposed undertakings requiring EIA. The government of Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam through BAPEDAL NAD Province is responsible for the formation of the Streamlined EIA/AMDAL Technical Team and assists in the preparation of the EIA ToR documents. The EIA consists the EIA ToR (KA-ANDAL), Environmental Impact Study (ANDAL), Environmental Management Plan (RKL) and Environmental Monitoring Plan (RPL). The current EIA ToR was prepared by the Streamlined AMDAL Technical Team as determined by the Head of BAPEDAL NAD Province with the issuance of the Work Order No.090/023/2009 dated 02 March 2009. This ToR is intended to guide the effective and efficient implementation of the AMDAL study for the proponent. Finally, we would like to thank all the parties that have helped and given support in the preparation of this ToR document.
