A EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

An Environmental Management Framework (EMF) sets the structure for managing environmental risks and impacts during the Project life cycle. The EMF for the TL Cement Project includes the following key approaches:

a. Select the Project option which has the lowest possible environmental footprint; b. Reduce the environmental impact, as far as possible, through engineering and design approaches; c. Mitigate environmental impact, as far as possible, through engineering and design approaches; d. Manage the direct impacts and the risk of ongoing impact through management measures and monitoring; and e. Continuously improve the environmental management and monitoring measures through the Project life cycle.

Two Environmental Management Plans (EMPs) were created for the TL Cement Project. One EMP addresses impacts associated with the limestone mine site and the other addresses impacts associated with the cement plant, jetty and other associated infrastructure. EMPs for the TL Cement Project address:

1. Environmental impacts which are identified as ‘Medium’ or greater in EIS document; 2. Mitigation measures for all aspects which are required in accordance with industry best practice; 3. Monitoring measures and standards to be followed; 4. Trigger values or target values of measurement criteria; 5. Reporting requirements; and 6. Continuous improvement process.

Key impacts

Of all the aspects associated with the Project, key aspects are those with impacts identified in the EIS as being ‘Medium’ or ‘High’ risk. These risks have been addressed through the Environmental Management Plans (EMPs).

1. Displacement / Resettlement: Local people will be displaced and will require relocation in order for this Project land to be acquired. This can cause a ‘High’ level of impact on local people. Mitigation measures including resettlement and ongoing stakeholder consultation to be undertaken by the Government of Timor-Leste will most likely result in a residual impact of ‘Medium’.

2. Cultural Heritage: Impacts of the mine on Cultural Heritage for the local area is significant with a number of sacred heritage sites directly impacted by clearing and activities within the Project footprint. Local area sites will be permanently impacted causing a ‘High’ impact, however with the implementation of controlled relocation and removal of unavoidable impacted sites, the residual impacts are ‘Medium’.

3. Traffic: An increase in heavy vehicle numbers and movements is likely to cause damage to the condition of the local road network and also poses a ‘Medium’ safety risk for the local road users and

301012-02135-EMP-003 Rev 1 : 02 February 17


pedestrians. Mitigation measures including speed limits and road improvements reduces this risk to 'Low' which is an acceptable level.

4. Noise: In accordance with the equations provided in AS 2436-2010 (AS 2436, 2010) the predicted noise levels from a single 85dB at 1m emission source, is 45dB 100m away from the source. This falls below the noise standard of 55 dB (A) (UNTAET, 2001). This represents a ‘Medium’ level of impact. The residual impact from noise and vibration is ‘Medium’.

Monitoring

The monitoring requirements for the project have been developed to consider all the project phases, Pre-construction, construction, operation and decommissioning. Key monitoring requirements are as follows :

1. Air quality monitoring at key receptors in the neighbouring settlements 2. Noise and vibration monitoring at the Plant and Mine site and sensitive receptors at the neighbouring settlements 3. Water quality and quantity monitoring at rivers and groundwater sources including springs adjacent to the mine and plant site 4. Recording of flora and fauna information during land clearing activities and ongoing throughout the project life 5. Ongoing stakeholder and community consultation throughout the project life

Emergency Response Plan

The Emergency Plan (EP) outlines the approach for managing the handling, storage and leak / spillage of dangerous chemicals and hazardous wastes associated with the development and operation of the Baucau Cement Plant Project.

The following will be adopted by the Project to prevent spillages and leaks from occurring:

• No tanks are to be filled prior to checking available tank volume; • Tank filling and dispensing procedures shall be carried out only by appropriately trained personnel and within designated and bunded area; • The main outlet valve on tanks will be locked shut when unattended; • Each tank/storage facility will be gauged and monitored daily; • All chemical and hazardous materials are contained in bunded areas with an appropriate holding capacity; • Bunded compound shall be lined with low permeability (less than 10 - 9 m/s) material that is not adversely affected by contact with the stored chemicals. It should be constructed in such a way that permits full recovery of contents spilt from tanks and ensures that the lining material is not damaged. The bund itself should be constructed of waterproof membrane, reinforced concrete or an approved equivalent; • The bunded compound shall have a minimum capacity of 110% of the capacity of the largest tank. The compound shall also have sufficient capacity to retain spilt chemicals and not be affected during extreme rainfall events; and

301012-02135-EMP-003 Rev 1 : 02 February 17


• All marine-based spills and emergencies are to be managed in accordance with Regulation 37 Annex 1 of the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships 1973. This regulation deals with the management of accidental discharge and discharge of ballast to sea.

Training

Training is essential for ensuring that the provisions of the EMPs are implemented efficiently and effectively. Training needs will be identified based on the existing and available capacity of the site and Project personnel (including the proponent, contractors and subcontractors) to undertake the required management actions and monitoring activities.

EMP review

The EMP will be reviewed at the following key project milestones:

• Completion of the pre-construction phase and additional specialist studies; • Completion of the construction phase; • Award of the Operations contract to incorporate operator-specific information; • Every 5 years at minimum during Operations phase.; and • On finalization of the Closure Plan.

B INTRODUCTION

The TL Cement Project will be managed through the implementation of two Environmental Management Plans. These plans are for the Cement Plant, Jetty and Other Supporting Infrastructure and the Limestone Mine. This EMP relates to the Cement Plant, Jetty and Other Supporting Infrastructure.

1.2 Environmental Management Framework

An Environmental Management Framework (EMF) sets the structure for managing environmental risks and impacts during the Project life cycle. The EMF for the TL Cement Project includes the following key approaches:

a. Select the Project option which has the lowest possible environmental footprint; b. Reduce the environmental impact, as far as possible, through engineering and design approaches; c. Mitigate environmental impact, as far as possible, through engineering and design approaches; d. Manage the direct impacts and the risk of ongoing impact through management measures and monitoring; and e. Continuously improve the environmental management and monitoring measures through the Project life cycle.

1.3 Environmental Management Plan

As required by the Environmental Licensing Law the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is a separate stand-alone document from the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).

The EMP is an essential tool for ensuring that mitigation of the negative impacts and enhancement of the positive impacts is carried out effectively throughout the life of the Project. An EMP should be systematically improved on a regular basis to ensure that best available technologies (BAT) and best environmental management practices are implemented in a manner that is pragmatic, efficient and cost-effective.

The EMP for the TL Cement Project Cement Plant, Jetty and Other Associated Infrastructure addresses:

1. Environmental impacts which are identified as ‘Medium’ or greater in EIS document; 2. Mitigation measures for all aspects which are required in accordance with industry best practice; 3. Monitoring measures and standards to be followed; 4. Trigger values or target values of measurement criteria; 5. Reporting requirements; and 6. Continuous improvement process.

It should be noted that the any resettlement or compensation matters are the responsibility of the Government of Timor-Leste and as such are not part of the EMP.

4 DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT

For the purposes of the Environmental Licensing process, the NDPCEI has divided the Baucau Cement Project into several major components, as follows:

1. Cement Plant, Conveyor Belt, Power Plant, Marine Jetty, and Associated Infrastructure; 2. Limestone Mine; 3. Clay Extraction; and 4. Road Improvements and New Roads.

All of the items included are critical to the success of the Baucau Cement Project. The Limestone Mine will supply the product to be processed and exported. The cement plant will process the raw materials to produce cement clinker for domestic use and international sale. The jetty will be used to import raw materials not available locally including coal, iron ore, and gypsum and to export the clinker product. The conveyor belt will be used to transport materials to and from the marine jetty. The cement plant also includes a 30MW CFB power plant to provide electrical power to the plant.

The area of a Future Industrial Precinct has been proposed, however is not included in this EIS assessment. The Future Industrial Precinct is pending further investigation and assessment and will be subject of a separate environmental approval.

4.2 Project Location

The proposed Baucau Cement Project is located in Suco Tirilolo, Aldeia Osso-ua, in the Baucau administrative post of Baucau Municipality, Timor-Leste. The location is about 120 km east of Dili and approximately 16 km west of Baucau.

Figure 18: Location of Cement Plant, Jetty and Conveyor Belt

4.2.1 Nature of the project location

The Jetty and Conveyor Belt area is located at the nearby beach and is flat and already highly modified by temporary dwellings, grazing and some agriculture. The general environment is characterised by sandy soils and established breadfruit Artocarpus altilis and Corypha sp. palm groves. The area is also severely infested with weeds. The Jetty area starts at the beach which slopes gently towards the ocean with a slightly steep beach before projecting into the ocean. The overall site is dominated by a relatively uniform coastal Closed Tropical Forest (70%) which is most likely a combination of existing forest and mature plantation trees. The remaining area (30%) is cleared grazing land and residential farms. Overall, the site is a heavily modified plantation environment with a severe infestation of Lantana camara throughout. The

301012-02135-EMP-003 Rev 1 : 02 February 17


biological diversity at these sites was very low and overall the site was not representative of a pristine coastal/beach forest (Trainor & Easton, 2015).

The Cement Plant site is located on NNE facing slopes and plains relatively close to the beach, road and proposed Jetty area. The site is characterized as hilly and slopes up away from the coast, with shallow limestone soils and scattered limestone rock outcrops, minor ridges and gullies sloping towards the beach. The site consists predominantly of very open savannah woodland (95%) which has been extensively modified for agriculture and grazing in places. The remaining areas were isolated patches of Closed Tropical Forest systems (5%), occurring in depressions and drainage floors and often surrounded by introduced Lantana camara (Trainor & Easton, 2015).

No permanent rivers exist within the Project site. Some small ephemeral watercourses flow through the area, mainly during the wet season. These tend to stop flowing in the dry season and are not considered suitable as full time water sources. The closest ephemeral stream is the Manulede River located approximately 9 km from the proposed Cement Plant site (WorleyParsons, 2015c).

The Project is located near the Caisido community of the Aldeias Parlemento, Caisido, Lialaileso, and Osso-Ua. The total population of the Caisido area (the Project Site) is 2,387 or 38% of the Suco Tirilolo population. There are 532 households in Caisido and the average size of a household is 5 people. Economic employment is mainly focused on agricultural sector. Most of the local populations in the areas surrounding Baucau Cement Project site are farmers. A small number of these farmers are also teachers, drivers and owners of small kiosks (vendors) within their villages/hamlets (BBS, 2015c).

4.2.2 EMP Endorsement

The Baucau Cement Project proponent, TL Cement, has endorsed this EIS in writing. A copy of their written endorsement is included below.

Safety Management shall be undertaken in accordance with local labour laws and regulations.

9.3.5.4 COMMUNICATIVE DISEASES

Data and statistics on Communicative diseases will be confidentially collected through surveying of the health providers to determine if adjustments to the Workplace Health and Safety Standard are required. Communicative diseases include:

Infection control in the workplace aims to prevent pathogens from coming into contact with a person in the first place. The basis of good infection control in the workplace is to assume that everyone is potentially infectious. Proper procedures have to be followed at all times.

Good marketing of personal hygiene is the first line of defense. Infection control procedures relating to good personal hygiene include:

• Hand washing; • Covering cuts or abrasions with a waterproof dressing; and • Gloves.

Many infections are food-borne. When preparing food, it is important to:

• Wash hands before and after handling food; • Keep hot food hot and cold food cold; • Use separate storage, utensils and preparation surfaces for cooked and uncooked foods; and • Wash all utensils and preparation surfaces thoroughly with hot water and detergent after use.

Frequently, workplace illnesses are spread by droplet infection. Colds and flu are transmitted in this way, and sharing telephones is an infection risk. If at all possible, users should have personal headsets, and telephones should be regularly cleaned and sterilized.

301012-02135-EMP-003 Rev 1 : 02 February 17


9.4 Modelling or Engineering Calculations

Trigger values and monitoring upper limit guideline values have been based on published standard and guideline values and no modelling was undertaken to derive them.

* Contained area can include: surface of the vessel; concrete bunds; plastic lined bunds; concrete pads; and spill trays.

13.6 Prevention

The following are some simple techniques that shall be adopt and implemented on the Project to prevent spillages and leaks from occurring:

• No tanks are to be filled prior to checking available tank volume; • Tank filling and dispensing procedures shall be carried out only by appropriately trained personnel and within designated and bunded area;

301012-02135-EMP-003 Rev 1 : 02 February 17


• The main outlet valve on tanks will be locked shut when unattended; • Each tank/storage facility will be gauged and monitored daily; • All chemical and hazardous materials are contained in bunded areas with an appropriate holding capacity; • Bunded compound shall be lined with low permeability (less than 10 - 9 m/s) material that is not adversely affected by contact with the stored chemicals. It should be constructed in such a way that permits full recovery of contents spilt from tanks and ensures that the lining material is not damaged. The bund itself should be constructed of waterproof membrane, reinforced concrete or an approved equivalent; • The bunded compound shall have a minimum capacity of 110% of the capacity of the largest tank. The compound shall also have sufficient capacity to retain spilt chemicals and not be affected during extreme rainfall events; • After a rainfall event, pumping should be used to empty the compound, provided the water is not contaminated. The water should be checked by a suitably qualified and experienced person; • Under no circumstances shall contaminated water be allowed to discharge to the environment, but shall be pumped into a tanker for appropriate disposal; • Emptying of the compound should not be achieved through a valved (i.e. gravity flow) outlet as this may be inadvertently be left open; • Vehicle refueling and maintenance will only be conducted in the designated Vehicle Maintenance and Refueling areas; • Tanks; vehicles and equipment will be regularly inspected and maintained as per the required specifications; • The network of storm water drains, diversion ditches and drains will be regularly inspected to ensure there are no blockages; • All spills and leaks will be cleaned up immediately and reported to the TL Cement Plant Manager; • All vessels and vessel activities are to operate in accordance with Regulation 37 Annex 1 of the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships 1973 and Guidelines for development of Shipboard Oil Pollution Emergency Plan (MEPC, 86:44) • Shovels, drip pans and absorbent materials will be strategically located throughout the Project site; and • Ensure that all chemical and hazardous materials are stored appropriately. Substances may escape from storage facilities through various means, including, but not limited to:

o Absence of containment facilities;

o Poor construction or deterioration of containment facilities;

o Inappropriate equipment maintenance operations; and

o Poor ‘house-keeping’ practices.

13.7 Safety Data Sheets (SDS) Before a contractor can bring a chemical onto site, they must inform and receive approval from the TL Cement HSE Department / Environmental Manager.

301012-02135-EMP-003 Rev 1 : 02 February 17


All chemicals which have been approved for use on site by the TL Cement HSE Department/ Environment Manager will be stored in accordance with the SDS and in a designated bunded / contained area.

13.8 Spill Response

In the event of a spill and/or leak TL Cement shall adopted the following ‘3C Response Policy’:

• Control; • Contain; and • Clean-up.

The following sections provide an outline of the ‘3C Response Policy’.

13.8.1 Control

The ‘Control’ aspect of the response policy includes, but is not limited to; the following steps for all spills / leaks (i.e. Minor to Major):

• Identification of the source and material involved of the spill / leak. • If required, get help / advice from the TL Cement Safety and Quality Officer. • Ensure the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) is used. • If it is safe to do so, control the spill / leak at the source by: o Shut off valves; o Stop the pump process; o Upright the container. • Clear the area of people and equipment not directly involved in the clean-up process. • Complete the appropriate Form estimating the quantity spilled and submit to the TL Cement Safety and Quality Officer.

13.8.2 Contain

The ‘Contain’ aspect of the response policy includes, but is not limited to; the following steps for all spills / leaks (i.e. Minor to Major):

• Ensuring that the appropriate PPE is in place, it is essential for spills on or over water for the edge of the spill to be contained with booms. For land spills, sand, rags or other like materials should be used. • Block or divert the flow of the spill / leak from entering any stormwater drain. • Place appropriate spill kit material over the body of the spill to ensure it does not disperse further.

13.8.3 Clean Up

The ‘Clean Up’ aspect of the response policy includes, but is not limited to; the following steps:

301012-02135-EMP-003 Rev 1 : 02 February 17


• Ensuring that the appropriate PPE is in place; spills / leaks should be cleaned up using appropriate absorbent materials which should then be disposed of to a suitably labelled “Contaminated Material Bin” for storage and eventual transportation via a licenced contractor to a licenced disposal facility. • Any equipment used from spill kits must be recorded and the TL Cement Environment Manager / Environment Officer is to ensure the spill kit is restocked. • For spills on soil, they may be either remediated in-situ or the contaminated soil may need to be removed for appropriate disposal.

13.9 Equipment

13.9.1 Spill Response The following spill response equipment will be stored in the fuel and other chemical storage areas:

• 55 gallon drum of absorbent granules;

• 100 absorbent pads;

• A hand pump and 10 metres of plastic hose;

• All PPE to safely handle spills (e.g. gloves and eye protection).

In the case of soil contaminated by a fuel or chemical spill, the soil should be excavated and taken to the volatilisation pad, before being disposed of in the approved solid waste landfill. This also applies to any sorbent material used to clean up spills.

13.9.2 Marine Spill Response

The following spill prevention measures are to be carried out for general ship operations:

Before bunker handling commences, all deck scuppers and open drains must be effectively plugged to prevent spilled oil from escaping from the vessel.

All water accumulation on deck should be periodically drained and scupper plugs replaced

All collected water is to be transferred to a slop tank or other suitable receptacle ready for proper disposal;

When not in use, sea and overboard discharge valves connected to the bunker and ballast system must be securely closed;

All emergencies at sea which have the potential to cause pollution are to be managed in accordance with Regulation 37 Annex 1 of the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships 1973.

301012-02135-EMP-003 Rev 1 : 02 February 17

# (Unique number Retained from Questions database)

Aspect &

Environmental Management and Mitigation Measure

Questions from Public Consultation

Proponent’s Response

3 Air quality

Air Quality and Dust mitigation measures

Noise

Jaime (school teacher), Suco Parlamento; Claudio (student); Agustinho da Costa Belo, Aldeia Osso-ua; Joao Freitas, Suco Caisido

What are the impacts from the cement plant and limestone mine to the surrounding environment? What are the measures taken to mitigate these impacts?

What is the level of air pollution emitted from the plant and mine (including when transporting from mine to plant)?

What will be the mitigation towards noise pollution (from machinery, heavy equipment, blasting)?

James Rhee:

Air pollution mainly will come from power generation and dust. Dust will mainly be released during transportation of material from mine to plant and from/to jetty using conveyor belt. The amount of air pollution can be mitigated by using solar and wind power to generate electricity whereas dust from the conveyor belt will be well contained using a closed system. In addition, company will build new road from mine to plant as a mitigation measure to reduce dust.

Regarding noise pollution, since it is low

301012-02135-EMP-003 Rev 1 : 02 February 17


risk, hence no mitigation measure required.

4 Cultural Heritage

Cultural Heritage Management Plan

Jaime (school teacher), Suco Parlamento; Joao Freitas, Suco Caisido; Tomas Freitas, Administrative Post of Vemasse

What is the position of TL Cement regarding any sacred site and/or cemetery found within the project site?

TL Cement respects all cultural heritages including evidence of ancient human habitation found within the project site. In fact, a Cultural Heritage Management Plan will be prepared in coordination with the community and the Secretariat of Arts and Culture to conduct procedures and/or traditional rituals required relocating sacred site and/or tombs including the management and protection of new and known sites during the project life.

During a field study on the project site and its vicinity, some antique materials from ancient civilization (spanning the last ca 30,000 years) were found and documented.

5 Groundwater

Water Management Plan

Francisco Hero (PNTL)

Where is the location to drill borewells for water supply? Will the amount withdraw from the well affect the spring located in Osso-ua?

Water requirement for mining and plant operation is to be abstracted from groundwater through the drilling of borewells at the Uaidei River.

301012-02135-EMP-003 Rev 1 : 02 February 17


A feasibility study will be conducted prior to finalize the decision on drilling. The location of the proposed drilling site and the Osso-Ua Spring are quite far separated and thus there will be no impact to Ossu-Ua Spring.

6 Land Use and Tenure

Relocation and Compensation Plan

Manuel Azevedo Has the company identified properties that may be found within the project site? What will be the negotiation regarding these properties?

TL Cement is currently working with the Directorate of Land, Property and Cadastral Services (DLPCS) to map affected households, farmland, and other property. Once TL Cement has secured the mining and environmental licenses required for the project, we will enter into discussions with those affected households and property owners. Based on the mapping and negotiations, TL Cement will prepare a Resettlement Plan. This Resettlement Plan will provide greater detail on the monitoring and reporting requirements in relation to the potential social and economic impacts associated with the development of the project

301012-02135-EMP-003 Rev 1 : 02 February 17

16.5 Identify how those comments were taken into account

These comments were taken into account by ensuring that any recommended mitigation measures were populated in the EMP. Key items which were raised by the community which have been incorporated are:

• Water quality impacts from the Limestone Mine have been addressed through mitigation measures and a monitoring programme; • Cultural Heritage impacts through clearing have been addressed by incorporating mitigation measures; • Abstraction impact from water supply on the springs at Osso-ua and Caisido requiring regular monitoring; and • Dust and Air Quality impacts requiring air quality monitoring and reporting.

16.6 Details of public participation activities

The public consultation and community engagement process has been detailed extensively in the EIS and the reader is referred to this document which includes the minutes and photographs.

A summary of the consultation sessions is contained in Table 16-2 in Section 16.3.

16.7 Summarize the public acceptance or opinions on the proposed Project

Key comments from community members are extracted below:

301012-02135-EMP-003 Rev 1 : 02 February 17


Lian Nian (Traditional Leaders) said “The locals in general were enthusiastic about the project and had queries about the development activities for the locals that TL Cement would initiate as well as the employment opportunities the project would generate for the locals”

Casido Community leaders “are 100% willing to accept the cement plant project in their area”

Chief of Suco “Time of development has come. Community to ignore any rumours [that project will destroy livelihood]”

Director of Environmental Department, GoTL said that many community concerns around air quality will be addressed by “technology used in Australia which does not produce smog to a level harmful to the nearby community”.

Overall the response to the project is positive and the majority (more than 90%) of the local community supports the project.

16.8 Related materials or activities

Newspaper readership is low in Baucau and thus other advertising methods are better suited to encourage broad public consultation. Therefore, all notices associated with the EIS public consultation were advertised on national television (TVTL) in Dili on the 4th to 10th of December 2015. Notices were also advertised though local radio stations such Radio Popular Coulelemai Bucoli and Radio Komunidade Lian Matebian in Baucau commencing on the 27th of November to 4th of December, 2015. A copy of the public notice was also posted on TL Cement’s website. Additionally, the notices were displayed at local government offices including Baucau Municipality, Baucau Administrative Post, Chief of Village, and PNTL Baucau Municipality. Lastly, a copy of all notices was provided to the NDPCEI.

Prior to the consultation in December 2015 a Non-Technical Summary document was prepared and translated into Tetun and made available at the following locations:

17 COMPLAINTS AND GRIEVANCES MECHANISM

The Project Proponent will establish a Complaints and Grievances Mechanism (CGM) related to environmental and social issues arising during the pre-construction, construction, operation and decommissioning, and post-closure phases of the Project.

The Complaints and Grievance Mechanism shall be developed to ensure that concerns and potential conflicts arising during the various phases of the Project can be satisfactorily addressed. WorleyParsons has developed this grievance mechanism framework for discussion with stakeholders (including government) to refine the procedure to meet stakeholder needs through consultation. .

Once refined, project staff (comprising a representative who will receive grievances at each Project site’s grievance office, and a Dili office representative) should be provided with training. These staff will accept and log incoming grievances and, if the grievance is directly related to the Project’s actions, follow a prioritisation process to identify the required remedial action.

Figure 19 illustrates a suggested procedure for managing and resolving complaints during the feasibility stage. The procedure is equally relevant during the development stage of the Project with responsibility for resolution defined between the Project Proponent and the construction contractor. It is important to ensure the following values are upheld throughout the grievance process:

• Awareness; • Accessibility; • Transparency; and • Expediency.

Stakeholder awareness of the existence of the CGM will mean that when an issue arises, community members will know where to go to address and resolve the issue. This will encourage the issue to be dealt with through the appropriate mechanism and will improve expediency of resolution and good will with the community. Therefore, when engaging with the villages and other stakeholders they should be made aware of the grievance mechanism and where or whom they should contact to access the mechanism.

Accessibility to the CGM will also enable stakeholders to air their complaints directly thereby avoiding other forums such as the media. Typically, the earlier the Proponent becomes aware of potential issues, the more efficiently these can be mitigated and contained. Furthermore early detection of potential issues can prevent problems arising later in the Project lifecycle. It will be essential to break down barriers to accessibility which, based on baseline investigations, include, geographic location, literacy levels, language and cultural appropriateness, and distrust in government or corporate structures. Recommended strategies to overcome these barriers include:

• Establishing a grievance office at Dili, surrounding sucos and the Cement Plant site where grievances might be heard, namely Caisido and Baucau. • Upon request, remote locations and vulnerable individuals (e.g. elderly and disabled) should be visited by a representative of the project on a regular basis who will disseminate information regarding the

301012-02135-EMP-003 Rev 1 : 02 February 17


Project and receive complaints from stakeholders at their village or residence. This will promote accessibility of the grievance procedure and help build a relationship with communities and encourage dialogue. • Complaints should be able to be registered via a toll-free mobile telephone number to be established by the Proponent in cooperation with local telecom provider to allow direct access to each individual to the grievance mechanism. Another option is to provide a pre-paid mobile phone to each village chief to be exclusively used for lodging grievances. The mobile phone would allow the chief to send a message to the nearest grievance office requesting the grievance officer to visit the village and record the grievance. The pre-paid mobile option needs to be further investigated in consultation with village chiefs. • Representatives should be instructed to note down complaints where the individual is unable or unwilling to write the complaint themselves. • Local people fluent in the relevant languages should be engaged as representatives. • Locals should be consulted regarding the cultural appropriateness of the complaints process. • Complainants should be given the option of maintaining anonymity throughout the complaints process.

Transparency of process cultivates trust and ensures expectations among the stakeholders are set at an appropriate level. Elements of the grievance procedure which will encourage transparency include explaining the process and timescales associated with processing a complaint, providing the complainant with a copy of the complaint when it has been submitted and ensuring the complainant is kept informed of developments in processing their complaint. Written complaints should be held at the respective grievance offices where the complainant (or a designated advocate) should be allowed access.

Expediency will enable efficient processing of complaints. In order to encourage expediency the project should set deadlines for processing complaints and a case management approach should be established among the relevant staff, with oversight from a senior individual who should be assigned responsibility for management of the grievance mechanism.

As well as committing to the values mentioned here, the project will work to International Finance Corporation (IFC) guidelines (IFC, 2011) regarding grievance mechanisms.

21 NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY

21.1 Introduction

TL Cement LDA, a privately-owned company, proposes to construct a new cement manufacturing plant in Baucau Municipality, Timor-Leste. In accordance with Decree Law 05/2011, Environmental Licensing Law (ELL), the TL Cement LDA has submitted an Application for Environmental License for this project to the National Directorate of the Environment (NDE). The Baucau Cement Project will consist of:

1. Cement Plant, Marine Jetty, Conveyor Belt, and associated infrastructure

2. Limestone Mine

The NDE has classified the project as a “Category A” project, and must go through the environmental assessment process, including preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).

21.2 Purpose of this document

This document is a Non-Technical Summary (NTS) of the EIS for the Cement Plant, Marine Jetty, Conveyor Belt and associated infrastructure. This NTS presents the assessment of the potential environmental and social impacts, proposed control measures to mitigate and manage the impacts, and remaining impacts of the project.

21.3 Benefits of the project

The benefits of the project include direct employment with 1000 permanent jobs expected during operations. The project aims to develop local capacity and will develop a training centre. Other benefits include indirect employment to local community members, through the multiplier effect due to downstream socio-economic benefits and consequent improvement in the living conditions of local population in the project area. It is estimated that at least 2000 more jobs can be created through indirect activities during operations with local business opportunity creation in supplying goods and services to TL Cement and its employees.

The location of the Baucau Cement Project and its components can be seen in Figure 21.

301012-02135-EMP-003 Rev 2 : 02 February 17


Area of disturbance

Cement Processing Plant + Captive Power Plant + Camp – 80 ha- Note all in one compound

Marine Jetty + pipe conveyor - 1.5 ha

Power Supply 30 Mega Watt Biomes and Recycle Power Generation (clean coal) plant

Water Supply Groundwater from borewells at the Uaidei River

• 0.35 ML/day for construction

• 3.15 ML/day for operation

Number of jobs 3000 jobs during peak of construction

1000 permanent jobs during operations

21.5 Operations

When in operation, limestone will be taken to the Cement Plant for processing. Some other cement components will be shipped to the Marine Jetty and put on a fully enclosed Pipe Conveyor Belt and taken to the Cement Plant to be processed along with the limestone and turned into Portland cement clinker.

Portland cement clinker is small lumps that are the basic ingredient of cement (Figure 22). The Portland cement clinker will then be taken by the same full enclosed Pipe Conveyor Belt from the cement plant to the Port where it will be loaded onto ships from a Marine Jetty.

A similar example of a conveyor and marine jetty can be seen in Figure 24: The Baucau Cement Plant Project once in operation
