Viewing cable 08SURABAYA27, EAST JAVA MUDFLOW UPDATE: PROGRESS ON PLANNED USG TECHNICAL

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

Discussing cables
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number. Linking to a specific paragraph in the body of a cable is also possible by copying the appropriate link (to be found at theparagraph symbol). Please mark messages for social networking services like Twitter with the hash tags #cablegate and a hash containing the reference ID e.g. #08SURABAYA27.

This message is sensitive but unclassified.  Please protect

1.  (SBU)  Summary: On February 26, Sidoarjo Mud Management 
Agency (BPLS) Engineers Mr. Soffian Hadi and Mr. Handoko Teguh 
told Congen Surabaya Pol/Econ officer that U.S. assistance 
discussed in previous meetings (Ref A) is much needed and will 
likely receive official approval if the U.S. proposes a concrete 
time frame.  The proposed assistance includes: 1.) A short-term 
technical survey visit by U.S. specialists; 2) Light Detection 
and Ranging (LIDAR) site survey by US aircraft; and 3) Long-term 
advisory assistance from a U.S. geologist headquartered at 
Congen Surabaya.  End Summary. 
 
2.  (SBU)  During a February 26 meeting to discuss recent events 
at the mudflow site (septel) and prospects for U.S. assistance, 
Soffian Hadi and Handoko Teguh welcomed the prospect of U.S. 
assistance.  Mr. Hadi said that although coordination and 
approval will involve national level and local agencies, he 
expressed confidence that coordination will be successful and 
necessary approvals obtained.  Mr. Hadi expressed interest in 
learning of the results of a USGS analysis of mud samples taken 
in September 2007.  He also agreed to advise Congen Surabaya 
regarding next steps.  In addition to discussing technical 
assistance, the engineers also described current challenges at 
the site and responded to questions posed to them via Congen 
Surabaya by Thomas Casadevall of the U.S. Geological Survey. 
 
Responses to USGS Questions Regarding Current Conditions and 
Plans 
--------------------------------------------- -------------- 
-------------- 
 
3.  (SBU)  What are BPLS's current long-term plans for mud 
management, how is the plan formulated and is there a time 
horizon implicit in the plan? 
 
Soffian Hadi said that infrastructure relocation is currently 
the only portion of mud management with a clear time horizon. 
BPLS hopes to facilitate relocation of the toll road beyond the 
area affected by the mud within two years.  Unfortunately, 
recent dike failures and increased uncertainty about the 
direction and extent of future subsidence has made effective 
planning of the new road next to impossible. 
 
4.  (SBU)  Are there other foreign "experts", consultants, or 
advisers involved in assisting the Board? 
 
Both BPLS engineers described recent visits by Dr. Amanda 
Clarke, Volcanologist and Assistant Professor at the University 
of Arizona.  The BPLS engineers were not certain who financed 
Dr. Clarke's trip, but they understood that the Bakrie Group had 
arranged her visit to the site and assumed that they had 
financed it.  Dr. Clarke traveled throughout East Java visiting 
volcanoes and will reportedly return during the March - April 
2008 time frame with other specialists, according to Hadi and 
Teguh.  Dr. Adriano Mazzini at the University of Oslo also 
visited the site recently and concluded that the mudflow cannot 
be stopped, according to Mr. Hadi. 
 
5.  (SBU)  What additional engineering options are they 
considering?  How have BPLS' efforts fared during the current 
rainy season? 
 
There are no plans to use other methods mud disposal beyond 
continuing to use the current spillway to pump mud slurry into 
the Porong River.  During the current rainy season, the volume 
and flow rate of water in the Porong has effectively eliminated 
dry season sedimentation in the river.  Mr. Hadi and Teguh felt 
that the rainy season performance of the dike system has been 
poor overall.  A series of serious dike breaches have occurred 
due to pressures exerted by subsidence and rainy season 
floodwaters.  (Ref B).
