Indonesian EIA is divided into three categories according to the project size and environmental impact:
(1) AMDAL (Environmental Impact Analysis)
Applicable to projects that may have a significant impact on the environment and society, such as:
• Large-scale projects such as reclamation, mining, and heavy industrial development;
• Projects with potential impacts on ecologically sensitive areas.
(2) UKL-UPL (Environmental Management and Monitoring Plan)
Applicable to medium-sized projects and activities with less environmental impact but still requiring management:
• Agricultural projects with a reclamation area of 5-25 hectares;
• Small industrial development, commercial construction projects, etc.
(3) SPPL (Environmental Management Statement)
Applicable to micro-enterprises and small-scale projects with little impact on the environment:
• Micro-agricultural projects with an area of < 5 hectares;
• Small residential development or service industry projects that do not involve sensitive areas.
