P-all consultants Staatsolie Maatschappij Suriname N.V. PESIA Weg naar Zee 2D Seismic 2012 • conduct fire patrols in extremely dry periods • Notify the Fire Brigade With effective implementation of above measures the impact of vegetation and peat fires will become minor negative. Impact on: peat fires Without Mitigation With Mitigation 5.9 FAUNA Table 31 Impact on peat fires Magnitude/ Intensity /Size Geographical scale High Medium Long term Low Small Long term Fauna and traffic and explosions Duration Probability Severity Overall significance 80 High medium Major negative Low Low Minor negative Noise and vibrations from traffic (airboats, swamp carriers) and from explosions may have a moderate potential impact on all fauna. Preventive and mitigation measures are recommended, in particular for the airboats, which produce much noise. Recommended preventive and mitigation measures regarding exposure of fauna to noise of the airboats include: • apply the Waterway Traffic Regulations developed for Calcutta, (adapted when necessary) Mitigation measures for this area are: - Limit the use and speed of airboats as much as possible. - Use airboats only during daytime near sensitive areas. The overall impact of noise on fauna is therefore considered moderate negative but with above mentioned measures it will be minor negative.

P-all consultants Staatsolie Maatschappij Suriname N.V. PESIA Weg naar Zee 2D Seismic 2012 Fauna and water pollution In the baseline study it has become clear that the hydrology and water quality of the swamp area plays a critical role in the proper functioning of the wetland ecosystems. During preparation, execution 2D seismic explosions and closure, impacts on the fauna may be expected from fuel and grease spills and release of cuttings and drilling mud. The impacts from such pollution on fauna are thought to be minor negative, because spills will be small in size and they will be temporary. Moreover, spilled oil or grease will only cover very small areas, because it will soon stick to the floating vegetation. For recommended measures and outcome after implementation of the mitigation measures see table 33 Impact of: solid and liquid waste on water quality. Fauna and hunting, fishing, bird trapping and poaching Improved access of the area may cause increased hunting and/or fishing, including poaching. For personnel it is prohibited to hunt, to fish and to trap birds within Staatsolie concession areas. But it is to be expected that outside hunters and fishermen will penetrate the project area. Also bird trappers may use the access trails to trap songbirds. These activities may potentially result in a minor negative impact. Although not required, preventive and mitigation measures are recommended. These are: • enforce strict admission rules for third parties (except for land owners) for the project areas (if legally possible) • request special assistance from government’s game and fish wardens responsible for control of fish and wildlife • upon closure (if requested by landowners): make trails into the project area inaccessible for airboats of third parties, maintain already existing trails only for very good reasons such as for monitoring purposes • implement above mitigation measures in consultation with land owners, if any, and nature conservation authorities It is expected that notwithstanding all preventative measures that poaching will still occur.
