produced as set out in gubernatorial decree
No. 299/1996.The decree requires all
enterprises producing liquid waste to treat
the waste before disposing of it into rivers. It
also requires them to send samples of the
treated waste to the agency every three
months.
The companies on the list include hotels,
apartments, office buildings, restaurants,
hospitals, and industrial plants.
The above figures do not include registered
small-scale enterprises such as community
markets, small workshops and small offices
which amount up to at least, 15,845
concerns.
Worse still, out of 571 companies which
have sent their samples to us, only 35
percent, or 199 companies, comply with the
decree and send us the samples every three
months. The rest submit the samples every
four months, six months, or even only once a
year. No wonder the quality of our river
water is getting worse.
High levels of pollution in the city's 13 rivers
are suspected of being behind the red tide
phenomenon, which killed thousands of fish
in Jakarta Bay in May.
The real issue here is whether the agency has
the political will because the administration
has ignored the existing Law No. 23/1997 on
the environment. The law authorizes all
environment management agencies to control
the liquid waste treatment of any enterprises.
The law gave the administration the power to
censure transgressing companies and the city
could close companies down if they continue
to ignore existing regulations.
The law says companies found to be
polluting the environment with liquid waste
www.englishiana.com
www.englishiana.com 2016
are given six months to improve their
treatment facilities. If they fail to meet the
deadline, the agency has the power to close
the waste treatment facility, the area of
production causing the waste, or the entire
production process.

treatment.
