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 the 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.

This EIS and EMP is a component of the entire project and each component cannot be implemented

without the other. Where impacts have been assessed, they are generally cumulative impacts of the

entire operation which have been repeatedly documented in both of the Impact Assessments

submitted. This is significant when understanding the approach to implementation of the EIS and

EMP because the mitigation measures and monitoring actions as recommended in the EIS and EMP

are applicable to the overall project impact. All mitigation measures are applicable to occur once, for

the project as a whole; all monitoring events which are recommended are a single monitoring event,

which has been duplicated in the two separate documents. Similarly, all reporting to the regulator and

community are single reporting events.

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 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 project phases,

including; 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

TL CEMENT, LDA



301012-02135-EMP-003 Rev 1 : 3 February 2017

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

• 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 Mine 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 Associated Infrastructure

and the Limestone Mine. This EMP relates to the Limestone Mine.

1.1 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.

1.2 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 Limestone Mine 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.

TL CEMENT, LDA



301012-02135-EMP-003 Rev 1 : 3 February 2017

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.

This EMP should be read in conjunction with the document, Baucau Cement Plant, Jetty and

Associated Infrastructure EMP. Under the instructions of the NDCEPI, the project environmental

impact statements were separated into two separate EIS and EMP’s i.e. Baucau Cement Plant & Jetty

and Associated Infrastructure and Limestone Mine. This EMP is a component of the entire project and

each component cannot be implemented without the other. Where impacts have been assessed, they

are generally cumulative impacts of the entire operation which have been repeatedly documented in

both of the Impact Assessments submitted. This is significant when understanding the approach to

implementation of the EMP because the mitigation measures and monitoring actions as

recommended in the EMP are applicable to the overall project impact. All mitigation measures are

applicable to occur once, for the project as a whole; all monitoring events which are recommended

are a single monitoring event, which has been duplicated in the two separate documents. Similarly, all

reporting to the regulator and community are single reporting events.

3 DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT

3.1 Project component equipment and technology

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 Limestone Mine project comprises the following components in each phase.

3.1.1 Pre construction

During pre construction, excavators and graders will be used to clear vegetation and level the ground

for the construction phase. Refer to Figure 3-1 Example of excavator to be used to clear vegetation

during pre-construction

3.2 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 3-11: Location of the Limestone Mine

3.2.1 Nature of the project location

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 biological diversity at these

sites was very low and overall the site was not representative of a pristine coastal/beach forest

(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 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

TL CEMENT, LDA



301012-02135-EMP-003 Rev 1 : 3 February 2017

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).

The geographical coordinates of the Baucau Cement Project components are detailed in Table 1

8.3.5.3 SAFETY MANAGEMENT

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

8.3.5.4 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.

12 EMERGENCY PLAN

12.1 Purpose

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 Limestone Mine.

The purpose of the EP is to identify appropriate management strategies, procedures and processes

to ensure that in the event of a spill / leak it is dealt with quickly and efficiently to ensure it is:

• Stopped at the source;

• Contained and collected; and

• If necessary, the site is remediated.

12.2 Objective

The objective of the EP is to:

• Reduce the risk of contamination and pollution to water and land from any dangerous

chemicals or hazardous wastes;

• Respond effectively and quickly to all spills and leaks, regardless of the size / volume; and

• Minimise the risk exposure of any dangerous chemicals or hazardous wastes to all

employees and contractors and subsequent health impacts.

12.3 Responsibil ities

contained area that may:

• Has minor impacts on

soil, fauna and flora but

not priority flora/fauna

or significant species;

and

• Minor impacts to

surface or groundwater.

Uncontained spill or

release of materials

that may:

• Has impact, fauna

and flora and is

uncontrolled and

extensive in its

release;

• Impacts on native

vegetation including

priority / rare flora;

• Moderate impacts

on soil requiring soil

treatment or

replacement

• Has moderate

impacts on low

value surface /

groundwater

sources; and

• Has reasonable

probability of being

detrimental to

fauna.

Major uncontained spill or

release of materials that

may:

• Has impact on fauna

and flora and is major,

uncontrolled and time

extensive in its

release;

• Impact soil, requiring

significant treatment

and soil replacement;

• Major impacts on

surface and/or

groundwater sources;

• Impacts on vegetation

over an extensive

area that causes loss

of priority / rare flora;

• Results in fauna

deaths of rare / priority

species; and

• Has a reasonable

probability of being

detrimental to public

health.

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

12.6 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;

• The main outlet valve on tanks will be locked shut when unattended;

TL CEMENT, LDA



301012-02135-EMP-003 Rev 1 : 3 February 2017

• 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 Mine

Manager;

• 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.

12.7 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.

TL CEMENT, LDA



301012-02135-EMP-003 Rev 1 : 3 February 2017

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.

12.8 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’.

12.8.1 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.

12.8.2 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):

• 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.

12.8.3 Clean Up

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

• 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

TL CEMENT, LDA



301012-02135-EMP-003 Rev 1 : 3 February 2017

“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.

15.5 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.

15.6 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 6 in Section 15.3.

15.7 Summarize the public acceptance or opinions on the proposed Project

Key comments from community members are extracted below:

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]”

TL CEMENT, LDA



301012-02135-EMP-003 Rev 1 : 3 February 2017

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.

15.8 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 10

15.9 Recommendations for future consultations

TL Cement is committed to ensuring continued, open and transparent consultation with all Project

stakeholders and interested and affected parties. Consultation will continue through the life cycle of

the Project.

TL CEMENT, LDA



301012-02135-EMP-003 Rev 1 : 3 February 2017

16 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 16-1 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

TL CEMENT, LDA



301012-02135-EMP-003 Rev 1 : 3 February 2017

information regarding the 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.

20 NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY

The Non-Technical Summary which was used as a component of the Consultation phase, is included

below.

20.1 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 overall Project

will consist of:

1. Cement Plant, Marine Jetty, Belt Conveyor, 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).

20.1.1 Purpose of this document

This document is a Non-Technical Summary (NTS) of the EIS for the Limestone Mine. 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.

20.1.2 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 20-1 below.

20.1.4 Operations

When in operation, limestone will be mined from the ground in an open pit and 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. 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 20-2.

20.3 Key Potential Impacts and Mitigation Measures

There are a number of aspects to the project that have the potential to cause 'environmental and

social impacts during different phases of the project. Of these, key aspects and their impacts have

been identified to be a ‘Medium’ or ‘High’ risk. These key aspects, along with mitigation measures

identified to manage and reduce the impacts, and monitoring and reporting to ensure compliance,

have been outlined in Table 4 below.

TL CEMENT, LDA



301012-02135-EMP-003


Table 4: Key Potential Impacts, Mitigation Measures and Monitoring and Reporting

Aspect Mitigation Measures

Displacement / Resettlement

Local people will be displaced and will require

relocation in order for this project land to be

acquired.

During pre-construction the people who live on

the land zone for the project will need to be

relocated and compensated for their loss of land.

This NTS and EIS does not address the issue of

resettlement, and is currently being addressed via

another process

This can cause a Medium to High level of impact

on local people.

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 license and environmental licenses required for

the project, they will enter into discussions with those affected households and

property owners. Based on the mapping and negotiations, TL Cement will prepare a

Resettlement Plan.

An alternative to outright sale of the land may be for TL Cement to rather lease the

land from the locals. This rent system prevents local landowners from losing their

rights to the land if the project should cease operations. The leasehold system would

also allow local to retain their identification with their place of origin and territorial

identity (BBS, 2015d).

The development of a Resettlement Action 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.

Cultural Heritage

Impacts of the mine on Cultural Heritage for the

local area results in a number of sacred heritage

sites directly impacted by clearing and activities

within the project footprint. Local area sites will be

A Cultural Heritage Management Plan will be prepared in coordination with the

community and the Secretariat of Arts and Culture that documents the process and

procedures to be followed during the project, including the management and

protection of new and known sites during the project life.

Access to the sites during the life of the project should be considered in the context of

TL CEMENT, LDA



301012-02135-EMP-003



permanently impacted causing a Medium impact. the importance of the sites to the local community and the broader Timorese culture.

Where safe access cannot be guaranteed, those sites which are located adjacent to

the project should be fenced off, access restricted for the project life or relocated, in

consultation with the community.

Where a site is located inside the location of the proposed mine pit and the impact is

unavoidable, the impact should be documented, exhumation of bones (where

applicable) and relocated in consultation with the local community.

Traffic

• During operation there is predicted to be a

significant increase in vehicles using the

local roads

• During operation, heavy vehicles (25 tonne

trucks) will be transporting cement to Baucau

for local sale, which will lead to up to 12

heavy vehicles per day on the roads, which

is a significant increase from the 2.4

currently using the local roads per day.

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 Moderate safety risk for the local road

Traffic impacts associated with the development of the project can be adequately

managed if the following mitigation measures are adopted and implemented for the

life of the project:

• Minimising vehicle movement – good planning and scheduling can limit the

number of vehicle movements required which will reduce the likely impacts to

the condition of the roads and public safety. Transporting workers in buses will

reduce individual vehicle traffic. Having a camp within the plant site is additional

mitigation

• Limit vehicle reversing, as it is major cause of fatal accidents. Implementation of

one-way systems, ensuring reversing sensor/alarms are installed on all vehicles

and mobile equipment and signage in reversing areas can reduce the risk of

reversing accidents.

• Traffic signage – all traffic signage should be clearly and prominently displayed

in well-lit areas. Signage should be posted to indicate speed limits, restricted

TL CEMENT, LDA



301012-02135-EMP-003



users and pedestrians. access, visitor parking, headroom, and other route hazards.

• Speed limits should be implemented and enforced.

• Road widening may be required as a minimum road width of 6.5 meters is

recommended for heavy vehicles (BBS, 2015c).

• Limit vehicle idling time and keep vehicles well maintained to minimise

particulate and gaseous emissions (Holtec, 2015a).

• Where appropriate, pedestrian crossing points should be provided in the mist

visible and obvious pedestrian routes. The crossing points should be

appropriately sign posted.

• Regular review, maintenance and repair of road pavement and drainage should

be undertaken.

• A management plan for dealing with the health and safety implications for all

vehicle incidents and recommending improvement should be developed and

updated annually

Water

All water for the operation of the mine is to be

abstracted from groundwater through the drilling

of borewells at the Uaidei River. During operation

this will be 3.15 ML/day. Impacts on the local

ecosystem and the local users are expected to be

• Implementation of a Groundwater Management Plan

• Monitoring boreholes should be drilled at strategic locations around the

infrastructure to monitor the background water quality as well as provide an

indication of the presence of contaminants in the surrounding aquifer.

• Groundwater modelling for the water supply should be undertaken to determine

Moderate. the radius of influence of the drawdown in the local aquifers. This will enable the

project to manage abstraction and dewatering to minimise impact on the

vegetation and river base flow.

• Ground water extraction can be minimized with the use of sea water for power

plant cooling and further optimized by closed circuit water condensers to recycle

the water

• Contamination of the aquifer from the project should be mitigated through a Spill

Management Plan and all spills immediately cleaned up and disposed of

appropriately.

• All chemicals used on site are to be stored, handled and disposed of in

accordance with a Waste Management Plan.

20.4 Stakeholder Engagement Process

This project has involved consultation with people who may be affected by the project and other

project stakeholders. This includes the public, such as those who will be directly affected, women and

vulnerable groups. As can be seen by Figure 20-3, public engagement consultation is a continuous

process throughout the EIA process and has already been initiated.

The public consultation process for the environmental assessment is being carried out in accordance

with the Draft Ministerial Diploma for the “Regulation on the Public Consultation Procedures and

Requirements during the Environmental Assessment Process” dated 22 April 2014.
