In
1990, the government established the Environmental
Impact Management Agency (BAPEDAL) and then
on 2002, the agency merged with the Ministry
of Environment which is responsible for
the development and implementation of national
policies and programs for environmental
management, particularly on urban and insutrial
pollution and hazardous waste management;
The
Ministry of Environment oversees a decentralized
enforcement system (conducting environmental
assessment) through the Regional Environment
Management Agency (BAPEDALDA) and regional
laboratories to ensure efficient monitoring
of the implementation of environmental policies.
