Strength of Cement Treated Clay and Degradation Under Magnesium Sulphate Attack

Lumpur Sidoarjo (Lusi) is an environmental issue in Indonesia that produce wasted soils, specifically clay soils, distributed to Porong River which causes a greater problem. Cement treated clay (CTC) becomes one of the solutions to overcome the problems caused by Lusi due to its ability in improving the strength of clay soils. This paper investigates CTC with lower cement amount (C <70 kg/m3) for reclamation and higher cement amount (C >150 kg/m3) for deep mixing marine clay for its strength and degradation due to the attack of magnesium sulphate as the main component of seawater which cause the degradation of CTC. The enhancement of soil strength is investigated by unconfined compression test (qu) and the degradation by penetration test. Water content of the specimens for both tests are arranged in its liquid limit condition (60%) and two times of its LL (120%). The result of the cement amount addition for both water content shows the enhancement of qu represented by linear and the tip resistance is increased. The characterictic of degradation for lower cement amount with close range present similar depth of deterioration, like-wise higher cement content. The value of tip resistance is not relatable with qu.

THE USE OF SENTINEL-2 IMAGERY FOR TOTAL SUSPENDED SOLIDS (TSS) ESTIMATION IN PORONG RIVER, SIDOARJO

ABSTRACT Sidoarjo mud disaster is an occurrence of hot mud bursts at drilling location of Lapindo Brantas Inc., Sidoarjo, Indonesia since 29th May 2006. In order to overcome the continuous mud flow, Indonesian government built embankment around the center of the mudflow. They also throw mud materials into the Porong River. The large and continuous disposal of mud material leads to sedimentation in Porong River. Remote sensing method with satellite imagery can be a solution to find out how much sedimentation occurred in Porong River as a result of mud’s disposal. Total Suspended Solid (TSS) calculation from satellite image can be indicator of sedimentation distribution.In previous studies, TSS distribution has been observed from Landsat-7 and Landsat 8 data. Nowadays, with ability of Sentinel-2 which has higher spatial resolution (10 m) and higher revisit time (up to 6 days), optimization of TSS distribution in Porong river can be done. Thus the objective of this research is analysis of Sentinel-2 imagery application to estimate TSS in Porong River. Result showed good correlation between in-situ data and TSS estimation from Sentinel-2 with value 0.72. Keywords : Sentinel-2, TSS, Porong River.

Evaluation of Total Suspended Sediment (TSS) Distribution Using ASTER, ALOS, SPOT-4 Satellite Imagery in 2005-2012

Lapindo mud thrown to Porong River from September 27, 2006 brought an enormous impact to the environment and surrounding communities. This will exacerbate the damage Porong ecosystems, and pollute the Madura Strait and surrounding areas (Wibisono, 2006). Disposal of sludge in large quantities and continuously to Porong also indicated sedimentation resulted in Porong River, Porong River estuary and along coastal of Surabaya-Pasuruan. This is because the material sediment transport along water flow, and the influence of geographical conditions, and the waves of the sea water. Satellite image data used in this study is the ASTER in 2005-2008, ALOS/AVNIR-2 in 2010, and SPOT-4 years 2009.2011 and 2012. In the satellite image processing, for obtain the value of is used TSS algorithm of Jing Li (2008) for ASTER satellite imagery, algorithms of Hendrawan and Asai (2008) for the ALOS satellite imagery, and algorithm of Budiman (2004) for the SPOT-4 satellite imagery. TSS value of the image processing results then performed validation / test precision using reference data TSS In-Situ to obtain linear correlation (R2). R2 value was obtained is 0.854 in 2009, 0.761 in 2011, and 0712 in 2013. That indicates that the value of TSS in the field is proportional with the TSS value in image and has a very good correlation. The results show the value of TSS in the study area ranged from 25 until more than 150 mg/L and according to the results of the analysis showed an upward trend of TSS values over time. There are several locations that indicated experiencing severe sedimentation impacts such as in Porong River, Porong River Estuary, Alo River Estuary, and the surrounding area of the estuary. According to Government Regulation Number 82 in 2001, the maximum value of TSS in the river or water is must less than 50 mg/L and so the value of TSS in the study area is very improper that if allowed to continue may damage the ecosystem in the area. Results from this study is expected to be referenced in the rehabilitation, development, and utilization of the area in the research area and coastal zone management in the future.

Remote Sensing and GIS Application for Sedimentation Modeling in Porong River Estuary as an Impact of Lapindo Mudflow, Sidoarjo

Lapindo mudflow that has occurred since May 2006 in Porong, Sidoarjo have raised thorny issue. One of the consequences that turned up physically was the alteration that has occurred in Porong River estuary. Porong River estuary has undergone drastic morphological change since 2006 to 2016 that became interesting phenomenon studied using remote sensing imagery. Landsat 7 ETM+ and Landsat 8 OLI/TIRS images were used to observe the changes that occurred in Porong River estuary. Porong River estuary had additional land area of 149.4 Ha in 2000-2006, 93.79 Ha in 2006-2010 and 100.24 Ha in 2010-2016. This addition was largely due to the change of land use in the sub-watershed, input from Lapindo mudflow, as well as human activities in the development of a new delta called Sarinah Island. There were several algorithms that were used in the calculation of the sediment concentration value (SSC), such as blue, green, near infrared band, also Doxaran, NDSSI, and the red/near infrared band ratio. However, the SSC of pixel value did not have strong correlation with the SSC field value. The dynamic of object and accuracy of the algorithm became the most influential factor that must be considered in calculating the value of SSC.

Effect of high sedimentation rates on surface sediment dynamics and mangrove growth in the Porong River, Indonesia

Large quantities of mud from the LUSI (Lumpur Sidoarjo) volcano in northeastern Java have been channeled to the sea causing high rates of sediment delivery to the mouth of the Porong River, which has a cover of natural and planted mangroves. This study investigated how the high rates of sediment delivery affected vertical accretion, surface elevation change and the growth of Avicennia sp., the dominant mangrove species in the region. During our observations in 2010–2011 (4–5years after the initial volcanic eruption), very high rates of sedimentation in the forests at the mouth of the river gave rise to high vertical accretion of over 10cmy−1. The high sedimentation rates not only resulted in reduced growth of Avicennia sp. mangrove trees at the two study sites at the Porong River mouth, but also gave rise to high soil surface elevation gains.

LUSI MITIGATION IMPLICATIONS OF BPLS AND OTHER SUBSIDENCE MEASUREMENTS

Since the beginning of LUSI eruption, extrusion of mud has been accompanied by deformation of the land surface extending out as much as three km from the main vent. Deformation generally consists of subsidence, however also includes uplift in certain areas and minor surface faulting and cracking as surface blocks of sediment move. BPLS monthly leveling since 12/2007 by laser surveying gives the most reliable measure of vertical movement around the perimeter of the mud ponds. This has been augmented by differential GPS measurements that extends farther out. Subsidence beneath the mud within the levees is difficult to be measured accurately. Rapid subsidence, rising mud, and continuous addition of dirt to maintain the internal dikes make it impossible to maintain a system of benchmarks in the inner area. Shape of the surface beneath the mud can be estimated by indicators such as early GPS measurements, tilting of partially buried buildings, and the rate at which tiers of sandbags have disappeared beneath the mud. We have synthesized all available data to produce a contour map of estimated total deformation for the first 35 months of eruption despite limitations of the data such as variable quality, contradictions, poor point distribution, and observations over variable time intervals.
 
 Pre-eruption land surface near LUSI was a nearly level plain about 4 m above MSL sloping about 0.45 m/km NE toward the sea and away from the artificially high channel and levees of the Porong River. Land around the vent has subsided in the form of an asymmetrical shallow funnel where the gentle tilt of about 10 m/km around the margins increases dramatically near the vent. Early ITB continuous differential GPS measurements of horizontal movement indicated a point of maximum subsidence about 250 m northwest of the main vent. Our contours indicate 65 million m³ of mud is presently stored. About 60% occupies the subsidence depression, the rest is confined by the dikes. About 200 m south of the vent is a flexure zone trending generally east-west that separates fast subsidence from slower subsidence to the south. This flexure has caused difficulty in mitigation by blocking flow of mud southward towards disposal points along the Porong River.
 
 On the west side of the subsidence cone, flexure toward the vent area has stretched the ground surface, breaking it with steep north-northeast trending fractures that localize methane gas venting. These resulting blocks settle unevenly, creating horsts and grabens with offset less than 15 cm. This fracturing probably extends east beneath the levees although it is not clearly expressed there. Transverse to this pattern near the former toll road bridge is a 100 m-wide zone characterized by the highest subsidence rates outside the levees. This subsidence of about 1.5 m in three years is much less than an estimated 40 m subsidence beneath the mud near the vent, but lies across natural drainage and causes local flooding. At present rates of subsidence, this area will be below sea level in four years and become a pond unless constantly pumped. Until the road realignment is completed, most of the commercial traffic of East Java must travel through this area, and the proposed realignment still lies perilously close to northwesterly expanding subsidence. Increased methane venting and ground cracking has made West Siring Village too hazardous for continued habitation.

KONSENTRASI LOGAM BERAT Pb, Cu dan Zn PADA AIR DAN SEDIMEN PERMUKAAN EKOSISTEM MANGROVE DI MUARA SUNGAI PORONG, SIDOARJO, JAWA TIMUR

Porong River Estuary is potentially assumed to be contaminated of heavy metals Pb, Cu and Zn from anthropogenic and industrial activities in Sidoarjo, East Java. This study aimed to analyze the difference of heavy metal contaminations (Pb, Cu and Zn) in water and sediment of mangrove ecosystem located in Porong River Estuaries in September 2014. The location of sampling was selected by purposive sampling method considering the river parts: (1) upstream, (2) downstream and (3) open sea. Analysis of heavy metal contaminations (Pb, Cu and Zn) were performed by using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). The average concentration of Pb, Cu and Zn in water were <0.0044, 0.0226 dan 0.3555 mg/kg, respectively. While those of Pb, Cu and Zn in sediments were 0.0648, 0.3543 and 0.5653 mg/kg, respectively. It showed significance different of Pb and Cu concentration in water and sediments. On the other hand, there was no difference of Zn concentration between those medium.

Concentration of Heavy Metal (Pb and Cu) in Sediment and Mangrove Avicennia Marina at Porong River Estuary, Sidoarjo, East Java

Abstract –The ability of mangrove (Avicennia) to absorb heavy metal has been known. This study aims to determine whether there are differences of absorption level of non-essential (Pb) essential (Cu) heavy metals in Avicennia marinafrom different location, based on distance of pollutants sources (downstream) toward to the mouth of Porong River Estuary at Sidoarjo. Results showed that accumulation of Pb in the roots and leaves was ranged from 0.0044 to 0.139 ppm and from 0.004 to 0.019 ppm respectively, while in sediment was ranged from 0.0560 to 0.0660 ppm. The accumulation of Cu in the roots and leaves was ranged from 0.07 to 0.415 ppm and 0.0318 to 0.2520 ppm while in sediments was from 0.2930 to 0.381 ppm. The highest concentration of Pb and Cu were found from sediments followed by roots and leaves. The high concentration of heavy metal (Pb and Cu) in the root is likely due to sediment size. The high concentration of heavy metal (Pb and Cu) in the root is likely due to sediment size. When the size is finer, heavy metal accumulation will be higher, although there was no significantly different from different location.

The Growth of Mangroves in Created Wetland in the Porong River, East Java, Indonesia

Mangrove plantation projects have been established in the created mangrove wetland in the mouth of the Porong River, East Java, in parallel with the construction of reclamation area for LUSI mud dumping area. This study was aimed to assess the growth of planted mangrove in a created mangrove wetland in relation to the environmental parameters, which are sediment salinity, sediment fraction, pore water salinity, pH/eH, and total organic matter (TOM) in the sediment. Periodical measurement of mangrove growth Avicennia sp. and the environmental parameters were undertaken in the created wetland and in the mud flats of intact mangrove forest nearby the created wetland as the natural reference in July to November 2012. We found that sediments in the created wetland had different characteristics of sediment fractions, sediment salinity and TOM compared to sediments in the mud flats of intact forests. Sand dominated sediments with low TOM and higher water salinity in the created wetland as compared to those in the mud flats affected growth rate of mangroves in study sites. We suggest that TOM and salinity are important factors that contribute to the growth of mangroves in the Porong River. Keywords: Mangrove, salinity, Porong River, total organic matter.

Modelling of the COD, TSS, Phosphate and Nitrate Distribution Due to the Sidoardjo Mud Flow into Porong River Estuary

Mudflow disaster in Sidoarjo on May 29, 2006 have resulted in losses in various fields, whether social, economic, and ecological. One of the efforts to control the mud is mostly channeled to Porong river towards the sea in the Madura Strait. Mouth of the river is part of the coastal area that plays an important role in the economic, ecological, and also a region with a complex ecosystem. As a result of the disposal of sludge to the Estuary of Porong river this leads to changes in water quality, it therefore need for water quality modeling in order to identify it in accordance with the benchmarks of quality standards is allowed. A Hydrodynamic and water quality model with Mike 21 Hydrodynamics and Ecolab module1 are used to quantity and to find out the spreading of COD, TSS, phosphate, and nitrate. At high tide, currents in estuary Porong moving upstream, so the spread of water quality parameters will be small around the estuary. At low tide conditions the flow moves in the opposite direction so that the distribution of water quality parameters will be greater than the current at the river mouth. The condition of water quality parameters most significantly, the worth of 34mg / L for COD, 14.46mg / L for nitrate, 30mg / L for TSS, and a phosphate worth to 0.43mg / L.

Characteristics of Lusi mud volcano and its impacts on the Porong River

Since the first gas and mud volcano spewed from well at Sidoarjo, East Java, Indonesia (called Lusi or Lapindo mud) in 2006, its keep flowing ever since. Despite the occurrence of Lusi mud volcano was debated. Either it was natural or unnatural disaster, but maintaining the impact of the mud on social and environment is important. In addition, monitoring water, land and air quality under permitable condition is urgently necessary, due to some scientist stated that the eruption of mud volcano might be impossible to stop. The Lusi’s mud was analyzed in 2009 and showed that the concentration of heavy metals were below environmental soil quality guidelines. There were no environmental effect of heavy metals (Mn, Zn, Cu, Cr, Cd, Pb, Co, Ni, Hg, and As) resulted of mud, unless when these metals are associated with other elements. In contrast, the physical and chemical of mud-water was above the environmental standard. Continues monitoring on mud and mud-water was required to protect the environment, thus human health.
