PT Semen Indonesia's President Director, Rizkan Chandra, is confident that Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo will issue an environmental permit for the construction of the company's cement plant in Rembang, Central Java province.
Earlier on 16 January, Ganjar revoked PT Semen Indonesia’s environmental permit required for plant construction, production and development.
The governor had told Semen Indonesia to revise its environmental impact analysis (amdal) and environmental monitoring plan (RPL), as well as environmental management plan (RKL).
The decision was based on the Constitutional Court (MK) ruling that Semen Indonesia’s environmental analysis had violated the procedures due to the lack of dissemination to the public.
According to Mr Rizkan, there is no reason for Ganjar not to sign the environmental permit for Semen Indonesia."We are still confident that the permit will be issued. All requirements have been met. All experts considered [Semen Indonesia deserves to obtain the permit] and no one said otherwise. The commission document has been signed as well."
