PUSARPEDAL

Environmental Management Center
Puspiptek area, Serpong, Tangerang, Selatan,Banten ProvinceINTRODUCTION
Pusarpedal best known as EMC (Environmental
Management Center), was established in August 12, 1993
granted by JICA (Japan International Cooperation
Agency); with the main function as a reference
environmental laboratory
EMC role as a reference laboratory was certified byaccomplishing certificate of accreditation (KAN) as atesting laboratory from KAN (National Accreditation Body)
on February 7, 2001 and re-accreditation on September 29,
2005
EMC has responsibility to develop and enhance thecapability of other environmental laboratories in Indonesia,
and also as a center for environmental quality monitoring.
Besides, EMC is expected to become a professional
laboratory to provide public services in environmentallaboratory fields

EMC ACTIVITIES Environmental quality monitoring, research andstudy on environmental problems in Indonesia,
which output as recommendation for policy
decision maker Measurement of environmental quality parameter
specifically in waste water, solid waste, emission
and ambient air
 Technical assistant for environmental laboratory
and implementation of quality system referred toSNI 19 – 17025 – 2005
 Provision of guidelines and reference method forlaboratory testing, environmental monitoring, andmaintenance & calibration laboratory equipment

Environmental Monitoring Program
The rapid of industrialization and population growth inIndonesia will increase environmental pollution and it
will decrease the environmental quality (especiallywater pollution) therefore it is necessary the integrated
environmental management (national and local
government also all of stakeholders) One of important aspect in environmental
management is to implement the quality monitoring
program continually The monitoring program will be effective if it is
supported by good laboratory and competentpersonnel to get the valid and accountable data
 Before 2003 monitoring program is done by each
institution partially (local and national) so that it isdifficult to get the National environmental quality
databaseIntegrated Water Quality Monitoring Program
In Indonesia
Started in 2003, EMC (Pusarpedal)-MoE initiated to
conduct national river water quality monitoringworkshop with 30 provinces and produced someagreements such as:–––There are informal agreement between EMC and all
provinces in Indonesia to implement the monitoring. There
were 30 provinces participated in those program andevery provinces followed water quality monitoring ruleand guidance which is prepared by EMC, including
monitoring technique, parameters, frequency, data need,ect.
MoE also contributed small amount of budget for
stimulated provinces to implement river water monitoringin their administration area.
Since 2006 monitoring program are developed with 33
provinces include air quality monitoring with pasive
sampler methodeIntegrated Water Quality Monitoring Program
In Indonesia

Based on Environment Ministry Reg No. 22/2008,
MOE delegated its authority to 32 provinces for
implementing river water monitoring and also
prepared Financial for river water monitoring
activities (dekonsentrasi budget)
Provinces have obligation to inform the monitoringdata to EMC-MoE periodically
EMC collect and process the water monitoring datafrom 33 provinces and send the data to Deputy
Assistance of Environmental Data and InformationMoE for preparing the Indonesia Status ofEnvironment Report (SoER)

Conclusion Base on storet method and second class of water qualitycriteria, Gov Regulation no 82/2001, majority river water
have been monitored in Indonesia 2008 were in heavy
polluted condition. Other rivers were in slightly polluted
to polluted condition.

 BOD, COD,DO, phenol, fecal coli

& total coliform
parameters give significant contribution to the riverwater pollution in Indonesia. TSS and T-P also contributeto river water pollution.

 Necessity of Integrated environmental monitoring

Program among stakeholders throught periodicly of
Water Quality Monitoring activities

Recomendation
 Improving coordination among

stakeholder (central and local govt)
relating to the integrated program for
implementation of water monitoring inindonesia.

 Increasing capacity building including

human resources and laboratory
facilities for implementing water
monitoring through technical training(planning, sampling, analysis, data
pocessing ect)
