NEA issued notices to three more firms under the Transboundary Haze Pollution Act, taking the total to 10. It said smoke from fires in Kalimantan may have spread to Singapore from their concession land.

The firms are Buana Megatama Jaya, Mananjung Hayak and Baratama Putra Perkasa. The notices order them to send firefighters, stop burning, and give action plans to prevent more fires.

Nine of the 10 firms are pulp plantations, and four are linked to APP. Some had similar notices in the 2015 haze crisis, and those cases are still open.

SINGAPORE – Three more companies have been issued with notices under Singapore’s Transboundary Haze Pollution Act, bringing the total number of firms targeted by the Act to 10.

The three companies in Indonesia are Buana Megatama Jaya, Mananjung Hayak and Baratama Putra Perkasa, the National Environment Agency (NEA) said on Oct 19.

Mananjung Hayak is a palm oil plantation, while Baratama Putra Perkasa and Buana Megatama Jaya are pulp plantations.

NEA said there are indications that smoke from fires in Kalimantan had spread to Singapore, from lands held via concessions under the three firms.

The Preventive Measure Notices issued will inform the companies to: deploy firefighters to extinguish or prevent the spread of any fire on land owned or occupied by them; discontinue or not start any burning activities; and submit to NEA action plans to extinguish any fires on their lands and prevent their recurrence.

Minister for Sustainability and the Environment Grace Fu earlier revealed that the initial seven companies responsible for haze-causing fires in Sumatra were identified by analyzing satellite imagery and meteorological data on regional hotspots and smoke plumes

The seven companies identified on Oct 16 were: Bumi Andalas Permai, Bumi Mekar Hijau, SBA Andalas Wood Industries, Paramitra Mulia Langgeng, Sumatera Alam Anugerah, Hutan Lestari Raya and Bangkanesia.

Nine of the 10 identified so far are pulp plantations, while one is a palm oil plantation.

Of the 10, four – namely Bumi Andalas Permai, Bumi Mekar Hijau, SBA Wood Industries and Buana Megatama Jaya – have been identified as suppliers to Asia Pulp & Paper (APP), part of the Sinar Mas conglomerate.

Indonesia’s largest pulp and paper company, APP was linked to the haze blanketing the region in 2015.

Excluding Buana Megatama Jaya, three of the four received similar notices during the 2015 haze crisis, and their cases remain open.

新加坡国家环境局根据《跨境烟霾污染法》向另外三家公司发出通知，使收到通知的公司总数达到 10 家。该机构表示，加里曼丹岛火灾产生的烟雾可能从这些公司的特许经营地扩散到新加坡。

这些公司分别是Buana Megatama Jaya、Mananjung Hayak和Baratama Putra Perkasa。通知要求它们派遣消防员、停止焚烧，并制定防止再次发生火灾的行动计划。

这10家公司中有9家是纸浆种植园，4家与APP有关联。其中一些公司在2015年的雾霾危机中也收到过类似的通知，这些案件至今仍在调查中。

新加坡——根据新加坡《跨境烟霾污染法》，又有三家公司收到通知，使得该法案针对的公司总数达到 10 家。

国家环境局 (NEA) 10 月 19 日表示，印度尼西亚的这 3 家公司分别是 Buana Megatama Jaya、Mananjung Hayak 和 Baratama Putra Perkasa。

Mananjung Hayak 是棕榈油种植园，Baratama Putra Perkasa 和 Buana Megatama Jaya 是纸浆种植园。

新加坡国家环境局表示，有迹象表明，加里曼丹岛火灾产生的烟雾已经蔓延到新加坡，烟雾来自这三家公司通过特许经营权持有的土地。

发布的预防措施通知将告知各公司：部署消防员扑灭或防止其拥有或占用的土地上的任何火灾蔓延；停止或不得开始任何燃烧活动；并向国家环境局提交行动计划，以扑灭其土地上的任何火灾并防止其再次发生。

可持续发展与环境部长傅海燕早前透露，通过分析卫星图像和气象数据，确定了苏门答腊岛造成雾霾火灾的首批七家公司，这些数据涉及区域热点和烟羽。

10 月 16 日确定的七家公司是：Bumi Andalas Permai、Bumi Mekar Hijau、SBA Andalas Wood Industries、Paramitra Mulia Langgeng、Sumatera Alam Anugerah、Hutan Lestari Raya 和 Bangkanesia。

目前已确定的 10 个种植园中，有 9 个是纸浆种植园，1 个是棕榈油种植园。

在这 10 家企业中，有 4 家（即 Bumi Andalas Permai、Bumi Mekar Hijau、SBA Wood Industries 和 Buana Megatama Jaya）已被确定为金光集团旗下亚洲浆纸业 (APP) 的供应商。

印尼最大的纸浆和造纸公司APP与2015年笼罩该地区的雾霾有关。

除了 Buana Megatama Jaya 之外，这四人中有三人在 2015 年雾霾危机期间收到了类似的通知，他们的案件至今仍未结案。
