Identification of legal parameters <strong>and</strong> applicable regulations <strong>to</strong>ELDORADO’s Project; <strong>and</strong> Identification of gaps <strong>and</strong> recommendations for improvement, against <strong>the</strong>applicable st<strong>and</strong>ards <strong>and</strong> regulations.The following ERM professionals were involved in <strong>the</strong> site visits: José Virgílio Lembo Duarte, Senior EHS Expert; Fern<strong>and</strong>a Rodrigues Brit<strong>to</strong>, <strong>Social</strong> Consultant; Helena Capparelli, <strong>Environmental</strong> Licensing Consultant; Fern<strong>and</strong>o Fahl, Senior <strong>Environmental</strong> Consultant; Gil Bindi, Senior <strong>Social</strong> Consultant; Milene Navarro, <strong>Social</strong> Consultant; <strong>and</strong> Aless<strong>and</strong>ro Lopes, <strong>Environmental</strong> Consultant.Note 1: O<strong>the</strong>r areas of <strong>the</strong> logistics project were not visited by ERM as part ofthis assessment, given that <strong>the</strong>y are still in <strong>the</strong> project detailing phase <strong>and</strong> noconstruction activities is being carried out at those sites.Note 2: Due <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> quantity of farms that are subject of <strong>the</strong> forest operations<strong>and</strong> limitations of time, <strong>and</strong> costs in this assessment, ERM developed a samplecriterion for <strong>the</strong> site visits at <strong>the</strong> farms. The following items were consideredduring <strong>the</strong> selection of <strong>the</strong> farms: Types of contract (owned, leased or partnership); Status of <strong>the</strong> area (planted, planting or available for planting); Companies working on <strong>the</strong> l<strong>and</strong>: third party companies (JS, Plantar orRuah) or Eldorado; Proximity <strong>to</strong> communities (for example, indigenous people); Proximity <strong>to</strong> different biomes (for example: Cerrado <strong>and</strong> Pantanal); <strong>and</strong> Size of <strong>the</strong> planted area.ERM visited 31 farms (23,1% of <strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong>tal), <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> sampling result is presentedbelow:ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT20ELDORADO - APRIL, 2012

One of <strong>the</strong>se is located in <strong>the</strong> Pantanal biome <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r in<strong>the</strong> Mata Atlântica biome. These farms were not visited because <strong>the</strong> farmlocated in <strong>the</strong> Pantanal biome is not planted <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> farm located in <strong>the</strong> MataAtlântica biome belongs <strong>to</strong> one of ELDORADO´s owner <strong>and</strong> as informed itwill not be used for pulp production.Table 1.2 presents <strong>the</strong> information on <strong>the</strong> 31 farms visited by ERM, whileFigure 1.4 shows <strong>the</strong> location map of <strong>the</strong> farms visited by ERM during <strong>the</strong>visits.

The visited farms were selectedusing technical criteria due <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> limitations of schedule <strong>and</strong> budget not all<strong>the</strong> farms could be covered during this assessment.The seedling nursery was not visited due <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> distance <strong>and</strong> time constraints.All documents requested by ERM from ELDORADO have been provided,except <strong>the</strong> following: Sustainability Policy which, reportedly is being discussed at <strong>the</strong> corporatelevel <strong>and</strong> is part of <strong>the</strong> Action Plan <strong>to</strong> implement <strong>the</strong> management system.Regarding <strong>the</strong> logistics project which comprises three port terminals, <strong>the</strong> siteinspection could only be performed at one of <strong>the</strong>m (Port Elmar, located in <strong>the</strong>municipality of San<strong>to</strong>s). The o<strong>the</strong>r two multimodal terminals are yet <strong>to</strong> beconstructed <strong>and</strong> no activities were being carried out during <strong>the</strong> period of thisassessment. Therefore, nei<strong>the</strong>r Pederneiras port or Aparecida do Taboado portcould be visited/inspected.The logistics system is in <strong>the</strong> project feasibility stage <strong>and</strong> a limited amount ofinformation is available. Eldorado made available <strong>to</strong> ERM <strong>the</strong> Simplified<strong>Environmental</strong> Report (Relatório Ambiental Simplificado – RAS), required by<strong>the</strong> State of Ma<strong>to</strong> Grosso do Sul <strong>Environmental</strong> Agency – IMASUL as part of<strong>the</strong> licensing process of <strong>the</strong> Aparecida do Taboado multimodal terminal. Noo<strong>the</strong>r documents were available.As for <strong>the</strong> Pederneiras multimodal terminal, no documents were madeavailable, given that <strong>the</strong> construction <strong>and</strong> operation will be responsibility of athird party company with which ELDORADO has established a services’provision contract. Just some sections of <strong>the</strong> contract were analyzed by ERM.Given <strong>the</strong> lack of available documents, <strong>and</strong> that <strong>the</strong> project is in its initialphase, <strong>and</strong> that only one port terminal could be visited/inspected, <strong>the</strong> gapENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT25ELDORADO - APRIL, 2012

Thepredominant flora is low vegetation (exotic grasses) <strong>and</strong> isolated nativetrees. These are typical physiognomy of <strong>the</strong> Cerrado.The original forest formations, belonging <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Cerrado, were reduced <strong>to</strong>small fragments, resulting in <strong>the</strong> isolation <strong>and</strong> habitat fragmentation due <strong>to</strong>intense agriculture activities.<strong>According</strong> <strong>to</strong> information provided during ERM assessment, <strong>the</strong> l<strong>and</strong> useconversion inside ELDORADO’s properties was mostly from pasture <strong>to</strong>forest plantation. In <strong>the</strong> visited sites ERM did not find evidences thatELDORADO is converting native forests in<strong>to</strong> forest plantation.ERM observed <strong>the</strong> implementation at <strong>the</strong> visited farms that riparian zonesare respected, <strong>the</strong> l<strong>and</strong> used was already degraded by human activities(pasture l<strong>and</strong>s) <strong>and</strong> appropriate techniques are used for erosion control(e.g. stacking of brush <strong>and</strong> slashes, for instance).Additionally, as reported, due <strong>to</strong> local meteorological conditions (rainyregion) irrigation is not planned at <strong>the</strong> planted areas. <strong>Social</strong> SettingELDORADO industrial site is located in Três Lagoas municipality <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong>plantations areas are distributed mainly along Ma<strong>to</strong> Grosso do Sul State.The main municipalities of Ma<strong>to</strong> Grosso do Sul State are briefly describedbelow in order <strong>to</strong> provide a social setting of <strong>the</strong> project.Três LagoasThe city of Tres Lagoas has over 100,000 inhabitants, according <strong>to</strong> IBGE,2011, <strong>and</strong> is <strong>the</strong> 4th largest population in Ma<strong>to</strong> Grosso do Sul State <strong>and</strong> 2ndlargest industrial GDP (equal <strong>to</strong> R$ 397,500,000 according <strong>to</strong> FIEMS, 2010).The Human Development Index (HDI) is rated 0,748, considered ofmedium human development (between 0.5 <strong>and</strong> 0.8).Because of its strategic location <strong>and</strong> availability of energy, water, rawmaterial <strong>and</strong> labor, it is expected <strong>to</strong> become <strong>the</strong> second most important city,in economic <strong>and</strong> political terms, in <strong>the</strong> State.The city is <strong>the</strong> regional center for health care, receiving over 200,000 peoplefrom o<strong>the</strong>r municipalities <strong>and</strong> regions.ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT33ELDORADO - APRIL, 2012

Reportedly ELDORADO do notuse work from indigenous people in its farms. Water ConsumptionThe EIA developed for ELDORADO pulp mill <strong>to</strong>ok in<strong>to</strong> account wateravailability as one fac<strong>to</strong>r for location alternatives. Water will be abstractedfrom Paraná River <strong>and</strong> a flow measurement for <strong>the</strong> period of 22 years wasconsidered. Within this period, <strong>the</strong> average flow was 7,299 m³/s, with amaximum flow of 28,222 ³/s <strong>and</strong> minimum of 1,597 m³/s. Thecharacteristic flow (Q95) was 2,070 m³/s (occurring 95% of <strong>the</strong> time).The design water intake for industrial purposes, used for <strong>the</strong> dimensioningof <strong>the</strong> water treatment plant <strong>to</strong> be installed in ELDORADO pulp mill is7,500 m³/h (2.08 m³/s), what represents 0.1% of Paraná River (Q95) flow.Ambient Air QualityERM reviewed two air quality moni<strong>to</strong>ring reports developed by <strong>the</strong> hiredconsulting company S<strong>to</strong>rm & Smoke – Consul<strong>to</strong>ria Ambiental e Prestadorade Serviços. Three moni<strong>to</strong>ring points were determined: 24-hour moni<strong>to</strong>ring at Fazenda Santa Vera (where <strong>the</strong> mill will be located); 24-hour moni<strong>to</strong>ring at Assentamen<strong>to</strong> Pontal do Faia (located approximately6.0 km East from ELDORADO Pulp Mill site); <strong>and</strong> 24-hour moni<strong>to</strong>ring at one point in <strong>the</strong> city of Três Lagoas (distantapproximately 22 km sou<strong>the</strong>ast of ELDORADO site, straight line).One report refers <strong>to</strong> moni<strong>to</strong>ring campaigns conducted in March <strong>and</strong> July,2011. Moni<strong>to</strong>red parameters included particulates (inhalable particles <strong>and</strong>ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT37ELDORADO - APRIL, 2012


<strong>to</strong>tal suspended particles), NO2, ozone, carbon monoxide <strong>and</strong> SOx. The area isconsidered homogeneous in what refers <strong>to</strong> air quality.The results indicated that <strong>the</strong> moni<strong>to</strong>red parameters meet <strong>the</strong> air qualityst<strong>and</strong>ards established in Brazilian regulations <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> WHO Ambient AirQuality Guidelines, except for Particulate Matter PM10, in July, 2011, whichexceeded <strong>the</strong> guideline value of 50 µg/m³ (24-hour average concentration of52.92µg/m³).The second report refers <strong>to</strong> a moni<strong>to</strong>ring campaign conducted in September2011. The results show that all <strong>the</strong> parameters comply with <strong>the</strong> Brazilianregulations <strong>and</strong> WHO Ambient Air Quality Guidelines, except for PM10,which exceeded <strong>the</strong> Interim target 3 value of 75µg/m³ (24-hour averageconcentration of 87.95µG/m³).The PM10 concentrations are apparently related <strong>to</strong> seasonal variations. Themoni<strong>to</strong>ring campaign conducted in March (rainy season) showed much lowerresult (24-hour average of 8.3 µg/m³) than <strong>the</strong> campaigns conducted in July<strong>and</strong> September (dry season).3 DESCRIPTION OF COMPANY, ACTIVITIES AND PROJECTELDORADO BRASIL is engaged in <strong>the</strong> production of pulp <strong>and</strong> paper, beingone of <strong>the</strong> major global players in this sec<strong>to</strong>r.

The current status of <strong>the</strong> implementation is that around70% of <strong>the</strong> civil infrastructure has been installed <strong>and</strong> 7,750 contrac<strong>to</strong>r’spersonnel are working on-site (estimated). It is expected that, in March 2012,<strong>the</strong> number of contrac<strong>to</strong>rs working on site reaches <strong>the</strong> maximum of 8,000workers, involved mainly in assembling of machines <strong>and</strong> production lines.ELDORADO reported facing difficulties in local hiring for which around 80%of contrac<strong>to</strong>rs personnel are migrant workers from <strong>the</strong> Nor<strong>the</strong>ast or CentralWest regions of Brazil. Around 60% of those workers are living inaccommodations provided by ELDORADO, while <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r 40% are living inaccommodations provided by contrac<strong>to</strong>rs.Accommodations under ELDORADO responsibility are managed by a thirdpart company named Meta. This company is also responsible for moni<strong>to</strong>ringconditions of accommodations provided by contrac<strong>to</strong>rs.

Steam <strong>and</strong> energy generation <strong>and</strong> distribution; Fuel station; <strong>and</strong> Industrial/sanitary l<strong>and</strong>fill.Operation of <strong>the</strong> industrial complex is foreseen <strong>to</strong> start up in November 2012.The following sections present a brief description of <strong>the</strong> production areas asare being implemented. Emphasis is given, when appropriate, <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong>environmental controls of each area, associated with effluents generation <strong>and</strong>atmospheric emissions.3.1.1 Wood H<strong>and</strong>ling3.1.2 CookingWood logs will be received from <strong>the</strong> forestry areas by trucks <strong>and</strong> debarkedthrough a dry debarking system (no effluents generation).Debarked logs will be conveyed <strong>to</strong> a washing station. Water for woodwashing will be kept in closed circuit, thus not generating effluents. Industrialwater will be introduced in<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> system <strong>to</strong> compensate for losses.After <strong>the</strong> washing station <strong>the</strong> wood logs will be chipped <strong>and</strong> chips s<strong>to</strong>red in achip pile <strong>to</strong> be later fed <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> digestion system. Prior <strong>to</strong> be fed <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> digestionsystem, chips will be classified <strong>and</strong> off-specification chips will be sent <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong>biomass pile <strong>to</strong> be used as fuel in <strong>the</strong> power boiler.The adopted concept of <strong>the</strong> cooking plant is continuous digester, which is, asreported, <strong>the</strong> current best available technology, not only associated with pulpproduction itself, but also in what refers <strong>to</strong> environmental performance, giventhat it allows better chemicals recovery, resulting in lower chemicalsconsumption <strong>and</strong> efficient energy conservation.Wood chips will be directed <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> impregnation, where <strong>the</strong>y are impregnatedwith hot black liquor from <strong>the</strong> digester cooking zone. Impregnated chips will<strong>the</strong>n be fed <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong>p of <strong>the</strong> digester <strong>and</strong> flow downwards in controlledtemperature <strong>and</strong> pressure conditions, for a sufficient time <strong>to</strong> allow <strong>the</strong>chemical reaction between <strong>the</strong> cooking liquor <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> wood fibers bondingcomponents, mainly lignin.After <strong>the</strong> chemical reactions in <strong>the</strong> digester, <strong>the</strong> cooking liquor is turned in<strong>to</strong>black liquor. The black liquor extracted from <strong>the</strong> digester is pumped through ablack liquor filter <strong>and</strong> heat exchanger (<strong>to</strong> recovery energy for <strong>the</strong> productionof hot water) before being sent <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> weak black liquor tank in <strong>the</strong>evaporation plant.ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT42ELDORADO - APRIL, 2012


3.1.3 Pulp Washing <strong>and</strong> ScreeningThe brown s<strong>to</strong>ck (unbleached pulp) washing stage will accomplished usingrecycled filtrates from subsequent stages, thus minimizing chemicalsconsumption <strong>and</strong> effluent generation.The main purpose is <strong>to</strong> remove impurities from <strong>the</strong> pulp prior <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong>subsequent processing steps. Separation will mechanically accomplished byscreen plates. The accepted fraction will be conveyed <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> washing stages<strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> screening rejects will be sent back <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> digester.Washed pulp will be s<strong>to</strong>red for subsequent delignification with oxygen.3.1.4 Oxygen DelignificationThe main goal of this stage is <strong>to</strong> remove residual lignin in <strong>the</strong> pulp, thusreducing <strong>the</strong> chemicals consumption in <strong>the</strong> bleaching stages <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> effluen<strong>to</strong>rganic load.In <strong>the</strong> delignification, <strong>the</strong> brown s<strong>to</strong>ck is mixed with oxidized white liquorproduced in <strong>the</strong> causticizing area or sodium hydroxide. Brown s<strong>to</strong>ck will beconveyed <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> delignification feeding tank <strong>and</strong> subsequently <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong>delignification reac<strong>to</strong>r, where oxygen produced in <strong>the</strong> mill will be injected.The pulp will <strong>the</strong>n be pumped <strong>to</strong> an additional screening <strong>and</strong> washing stage,<strong>to</strong> remove organic <strong>and</strong> inorganic impurities. Washed pulp will <strong>the</strong>n be s<strong>to</strong>redin <strong>the</strong> brown s<strong>to</strong>ck s<strong>to</strong>rage tank.3.1.5 Pulp BleachingPulp bleaching will be accomplished through an elementary chlorine-free(ECF) bleaching system. The ECF process, with <strong>the</strong> use of chlorine dioxide as<strong>the</strong> main bleaching agent, represents <strong>the</strong> current best available technologyregarding minimization of chlorinated organics (AOX) in <strong>the</strong> effluent.In <strong>the</strong> future pulp mill, pulp washing will be accomplished by counter currentwashing systems between <strong>the</strong> bleaching stages, thus minimizing <strong>the</strong> effluentsgeneration.3.1.6 Pulp Drying <strong>and</strong> BalingBleached pulp will be s<strong>to</strong>red in <strong>the</strong> bleached high-consistency pulp s<strong>to</strong>rage<strong>to</strong>wer <strong>and</strong> from <strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong>wer it will be pumped <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> drying machine.The drying machine is of <strong>the</strong> “floating sheet” type, in which <strong>the</strong> pulp floats ona stem-heated hot-air “mattress”.At <strong>the</strong> end of <strong>the</strong> drying machine, <strong>the</strong> pulp sheet will be cooled, cut <strong>and</strong> piledENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT43ELDORADO - APRIL, 2012


<strong>to</strong> form 250-kg pulp bales, which will be transferred <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> baling unit <strong>to</strong> form2.0-<strong>to</strong>n bale groups. The 2.0-<strong>to</strong>n pulp bales will <strong>the</strong>n piled <strong>and</strong> s<strong>to</strong>red in <strong>the</strong>bleached pulp warehouse prior <strong>to</strong> transportation <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> port facilities forexport.3.1.7 Chemicals Production, H<strong>and</strong>ling <strong>and</strong> S<strong>to</strong>rageThe chemicals production <strong>and</strong> h<strong>and</strong>ling facilities will include: Oxygen productionOxygen will be produced on site by a third company (White Martins) in acryogenic air separa<strong>to</strong>r unit <strong>and</strong> will include liquid oxygen s<strong>to</strong>rage <strong>and</strong>vaporizers <strong>to</strong> be used in case of abnormal conditions in <strong>the</strong> oxygenproduction process, so as <strong>to</strong> guarantee <strong>the</strong> oxygen supply <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> pulp mill.Oxygen will be used, for example, in <strong>the</strong> delignification process <strong>and</strong> in <strong>the</strong>white liquor oxidation. Hydrogen PeroxideHydrogen peroxide will be transported <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> pulp mill in tank trucks inconcentrated solution (50 <strong>to</strong> 60%) <strong>and</strong> s<strong>to</strong>red in a s<strong>to</strong>rage tank. From <strong>the</strong>s<strong>to</strong>rage tank it will be pumped <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> bleaching lines. Sodium Hydroxide S<strong>to</strong>rage <strong>and</strong> H<strong>and</strong>lingSodium hydroxide 50% will be transported <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> site in tank trucks <strong>and</strong>transferred <strong>to</strong> s<strong>to</strong>rage tanks <strong>to</strong> be used in <strong>the</strong> liquor systems, oxygendelignification, bleaching <strong>and</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r areas such as <strong>the</strong> boiler watertreatment <strong>and</strong> wastewater treatment. Methanol H<strong>and</strong>ling <strong>and</strong> S<strong>to</strong>rageMethanol will be transported <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> site by tank trucks <strong>and</strong> transferred <strong>to</strong><strong>the</strong> s<strong>to</strong>rage tank. From <strong>the</strong> s<strong>to</strong>rage tank, it will be pumped <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> chlorinedioxide plant. Sodium Chlorate Production <strong>and</strong> S<strong>to</strong>rageOriginally, sodium chlorate was going be acquired in <strong>the</strong> market <strong>and</strong>transported <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> plant by tanker trucks.Recently, after technical <strong>and</strong> economic feasibility studies, ELDORADOdecided <strong>to</strong> install a chlorate production plant on site. Reportedly,environmental aspects had also a significant weight in <strong>the</strong> decision,considering that instead of transporting <strong>the</strong> finished product, <strong>the</strong> site willreceive sodium chloride by trucks, thus minimizing environmental risks.ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT44ELDORADO - APRIL, 2012


Sodium chlorate is <strong>the</strong> main raw material for <strong>the</strong> production of chlorinedioxide that will be used in <strong>the</strong> bleaching line. Chlorine Dioxide Production3.1.8 Energy RecoveryChlorine dioxide will be produced on site through <strong>the</strong> methanol-basedmethod, by <strong>the</strong> reduction of sodium chlorate in acid media, using methanolas reducing agent, <strong>to</strong> obtain a chlorine dioxide solution.Chlorine dioxide will be used in <strong>the</strong> bleaching lines.ELDORADO energy recovery system will include: Black Liquor EvaporationThe main goal of <strong>the</strong> evaporation is <strong>the</strong> concentration of <strong>the</strong> weak blackliquor form <strong>the</strong> cooking stage <strong>to</strong> be burned in <strong>the</strong> recovery boiler.The evaporation system will concentrate <strong>the</strong> black liquor <strong>to</strong> a minimumsolids concentration of 80%. The evaporation system <strong>to</strong> be installed atELDORADO plant will be of <strong>the</strong> multi-stage indirect-contact type.Evaporation condensates will be segregated in different quality degrees.Cleaner condensates will be reused in <strong>the</strong> pulp washing processes.Intermediate condensates will be reused in <strong>the</strong> causticizing plant. Foulcondensate will be treated in a gas/liquid separation column (stripping)also allowing its reuse. Recovery BoilerThe main objective of <strong>the</strong> recovery boiler is <strong>to</strong> recover chemicals used in <strong>the</strong>pulp production process <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> generation of steam used in <strong>the</strong>production process <strong>and</strong> for <strong>the</strong> generation of energy.The main fuel of <strong>the</strong> recovery boiler is <strong>the</strong> concentrated black liquorgenerated in <strong>the</strong> evaporation system. The organic matter present in <strong>the</strong>black liquor provides <strong>the</strong> required calorific power for combustion <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong>inorganic content (mainly sodium carbonate <strong>and</strong> sodium sulfide) thatleaves <strong>the</strong> boiler as smelt is re-dissolved in <strong>the</strong> smelt dissolution tankgenerating <strong>the</strong> green liquor that will be fur<strong>the</strong>r processed in <strong>the</strong>causticizing area.The recovery boiler <strong>to</strong> be installed at ELDORADO pulp mill will be of <strong>the</strong>low-odor emission type, with indirect contact, thus reducing <strong>the</strong> pollutantemissions <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> atmosphere. It will also be equipped with high-efficiencyelectrostatic precipita<strong>to</strong>r <strong>to</strong> retain particulates.ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT45ELDORADO - APRIL, 2012


Additionally, <strong>the</strong> recovery boiler will also be used as <strong>the</strong> primary control ofconcentrated <strong>and</strong> diluted non condensable gases, thus minimizing odoremissions. Power Boiler (biomass-fueled)The power boiler will burn eucalyptus bark <strong>and</strong> wood rejects as fuel <strong>and</strong>will work as a backup system for <strong>the</strong> treatment of concentrated <strong>and</strong> dilutednon-condensable gases, in case of abnormal operational conditions of <strong>the</strong>recovery boiler.The boiler capacity is: Burning Biomass only t/h 70; Burning Fuel Oil only t/h 120; <strong>and</strong> Burning Biomass <strong>and</strong> Fuel Oil t/h 105.The power boiler will be equipped with a high-efficiency electrostaticprecipita<strong>to</strong>r <strong>to</strong> retain particulates. Causticizing <strong>and</strong> Lime KilnThe green liquor produced in <strong>the</strong> recovery boiler smelting dissolving tankwill be fur<strong>the</strong>r processed in <strong>the</strong> causticizing area <strong>to</strong> produce <strong>the</strong> cooking(white) liquor, through <strong>the</strong> reaction of sodium carbonate with sodiumoxide, producing sodium hydroxide <strong>and</strong> calcium carbonate, which will beseparated by filtration.Green liquor will be fed <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> causticizers <strong>to</strong> be converted in<strong>to</strong> whiteliquor, in one single line. Dregs <strong>and</strong> grits (inerts from <strong>the</strong> process) will bedried <strong>and</strong> will constitute an industrial waste. In <strong>the</strong> original project,ELDORADO would dispose of this waste in an industrial l<strong>and</strong>fill <strong>to</strong> beconstructed in <strong>the</strong> complex. However, ELDORADO is currentlyconsidering sending <strong>the</strong>se wastes <strong>to</strong> a composting system <strong>to</strong> be later usedas fertilizer.The calcium carbonate that is formed in <strong>the</strong> causticizing process will beconverted <strong>to</strong> calcium oxide <strong>to</strong> be used in <strong>the</strong> reaction with green liquor. Theoperation will be achieved in a rotary lime kiln.The lime kiln will be equipped with a high-efficiency electrostaticprecipita<strong>to</strong>r <strong>to</strong> reduce <strong>the</strong> particulate emissions. The particulate removedfrom <strong>the</strong> exhaust gases in <strong>the</strong> precipita<strong>to</strong>r will return <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> lime kiln, thusreducing process losses <strong>and</strong> waste generation.ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT46ELDORADO - APRIL, 2012


3.1.9 Pulp Transport <strong>and</strong> Associated FacilitiesFinished bleached pulp will be transported <strong>to</strong> port facilities located in <strong>the</strong> cityof San<strong>to</strong>s, State of São Paulo, using preferably combined fluvial <strong>and</strong> railtransportation.An internal railway branch will be constructed providing a connection with<strong>the</strong> existing railway system.Similarly, a pier will be constructed at <strong>the</strong> site, allowing <strong>the</strong> transportation offinished product by barges using <strong>the</strong> existing Paraná-Tietê hydro way until<strong>the</strong> municipality of Pederneiras, located in <strong>the</strong> State of São Paulo(approximately 350 km from <strong>the</strong> site) <strong>and</strong> from Pederneiras <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> portfacilities via railway.Alternatively, <strong>the</strong> finished product can be transported by trucks or integratedhighway-railway system, as described in Section 3.0.3.1.10 Water Intake <strong>and</strong> TreatmentWater will be abstracted from Paraná River, downstream of <strong>the</strong> effluentdischarge outfall.ELDORADO is authorized <strong>to</strong> abstract a <strong>to</strong>tal flow of 7, 500 m³/h from ParanáRiver.Water intake will include mechanically cleaned bar screens, water pumps <strong>and</strong>a water pipeline that will convey <strong>the</strong> water <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> treatment system.The treatment system will consist of a parshall flume, where chemicals(coagulant, flocculant, sodium hypochlorite <strong>and</strong> sodium hydroxide) will beadded. Subsequently <strong>the</strong> water will be submitted <strong>to</strong> flocculation, flotation,clarification (with lamellae settlers) <strong>and</strong> filtration in gravity s<strong>and</strong> filters.Treated water will be s<strong>to</strong>red in a 30,000 m³ reservoir, including fire-fightingwater reserve (3,000 m³).Clarifier sludge will be conducted <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> wastewater treatment system <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong>filters backwash water <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> beginning of <strong>the</strong> treatment process.For <strong>the</strong> construction stage, ELDORADO installed a temporary watertreatment plant, with <strong>the</strong> same unitary operations <strong>and</strong> 120-m³ capacity. Boiler Water TreatmentTreated water will be fur<strong>the</strong>r treated in a reverse osmosis system <strong>to</strong>produce demineralized water used for steam production in <strong>the</strong> boilers.ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT47ELDORADO - APRIL, 2012


3.1.11 Wastewater Treatment SystemIndustrial effluents will be segregated in<strong>to</strong> two lines: solids-containingeffluents <strong>and</strong> solids-free (low solids) effluent.High solids effluent will be submitted <strong>to</strong> screening <strong>and</strong> primary clarificationprior <strong>to</strong> joining <strong>the</strong> low solids effluent in <strong>the</strong> neutralization tank, where <strong>the</strong>effluent will have its pH adjusted. Primary sludge will be dewatered in screwpress <strong>and</strong> reportedly sold <strong>to</strong> be used as raw material by low-grade paperproducers or destined <strong>to</strong> a recycling central.The effluent will <strong>the</strong>n be cooled in a cooling <strong>to</strong>wer <strong>to</strong> lower <strong>the</strong> temperature <strong>to</strong>a suitable level for biological treatment.The biological treatment, which will also treat <strong>the</strong> sanitary effluents, willconsist of an activated sludge system composed of an aerated selective reac<strong>to</strong>r(<strong>to</strong> eliminate filamen<strong>to</strong>us organisms), an aeration tank, a secondary clarifier<strong>and</strong> biological sludge recycle. The excess biological sludge will be dewateredin a centrifuge system. Dewatered sludge will reportedly be treated in acomposting system <strong>to</strong> be used as fertilizer. It can alternatively be disposed ofin <strong>the</strong> industrial l<strong>and</strong>fill <strong>to</strong> be constructed at <strong>the</strong> site.The effluent treatment system will include an emergency lagoon, which willreceive off-specification effluents from <strong>the</strong> process areas, <strong>to</strong> be graduallypumped <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> wastewater treatment, in <strong>the</strong> neutralization tank, so as <strong>to</strong> avoidoperational disturbances.Treated effluent will be discharged in<strong>to</strong> Paraná River, via an effluent outfall,upstream of ELDORADO’s water intake point.For <strong>the</strong> construction stage, ELDORADO implemented a sanitary wastewatertreatment system consisting of an aerated lagoon followed by a polishinglagoon. Treated sanitary effluent is being discharged <strong>to</strong> Paraná River, via atemporary effluent outfall.3.1.12 Waste ManagementELDORADO will construct an industrial l<strong>and</strong>fill, designed <strong>to</strong> receive nonhazardouswastes (Class IIA <strong>and</strong> IIB, according <strong>to</strong> Brazilian classificationestablished in <strong>the</strong> st<strong>and</strong>ard ABNT NBR 10004). This l<strong>and</strong>fill is included in <strong>the</strong>environmental licensing of <strong>the</strong> industrial project <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> current InstallationLicense establishes parameters for groundwater moni<strong>to</strong>ring at <strong>the</strong> industrialsite, including <strong>the</strong> l<strong>and</strong> of <strong>the</strong> future l<strong>and</strong>fill.The l<strong>and</strong>fill will be constructed with compacted soil <strong>and</strong> will be lined withsyn<strong>the</strong>tic (HDPE) membrane. It will be equipped with leak detection systemconnected <strong>to</strong> a moni<strong>to</strong>ring sump.ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT48ELDORADO - APRIL, 2012


Leachate will be collected <strong>and</strong> pumped <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> wastewater treatment system.For <strong>the</strong> construction stage, ELDORADO is disposing of non-recyclable wastes(mostly sanitary wastes) in a licensed sanitary l<strong>and</strong>fill in Três Lagoas.Concrete debris is currently being piled in an area within <strong>the</strong> property. Thiswaste is currently being crushed <strong>and</strong> will be used in <strong>the</strong> forest areas <strong>to</strong> cover<strong>the</strong> access roads, so as <strong>to</strong> minimize waste disposal.Hazardous wastes are being managed by a contrac<strong>to</strong>r, Podium, <strong>and</strong> arecurrently being temporarily s<strong>to</strong>red in specific areas near <strong>the</strong> constructionworks, by each contrac<strong>to</strong>r prior <strong>to</strong> being removed, packed by Podium <strong>and</strong> sent<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir final disposal. Podium is currently constructing a central hazardouswaste temporary s<strong>to</strong>rage area.3.2 OVERVIEW OF FORESTRY OPERATIONS AND CURRENT STATUSActivities <strong>and</strong> exploitation of eucalyptus plantation are being carried out onbehalf of <strong>the</strong> company Florestal Brasil (Florestal). ELDORADO Industrial <strong>and</strong>Florestal have recently merged in<strong>to</strong> one company, ELDORADO.The forest areas will support <strong>the</strong> operation of <strong>the</strong> pulp mill. Reportedly, inorder <strong>to</strong> operate <strong>the</strong> first production line, an area of 162 thous<strong>and</strong> hectares ofeucalyptus cultivation will be necessary. Therefore, <strong>the</strong> goal is <strong>to</strong> plant 26thous<strong>and</strong> hectares per year. Until December 2011 <strong>the</strong> planted area was 80thous<strong>and</strong> hectares.Regarding wood production it is expected a productivity of 40-50m³/year perhectare, according <strong>to</strong> soil <strong>and</strong> zoning studies performed by ELDORADO.Currently, according information provided during <strong>the</strong> site visit, 23.6% of <strong>the</strong>l<strong>and</strong> is owned by <strong>the</strong> company <strong>and</strong> 76.4% are leased or are object ofpartnership contracts.The operation also involves a seedling nursery, working with six differenteucalyptus clones, in an area of 159,000 m² in <strong>the</strong> municipality of Andradina inSão Paulo state. ELDORADO directly employs 1,566 people in 6 differentmunicipalities (Três Lagoas, Selvíria, Inocência, Água Clara, Santa Rita doPardo at Ma<strong>to</strong> Grosso do Sul State). 88% of <strong>the</strong>se workers are rural workers<strong>and</strong> 37% of <strong>the</strong>m are migrant workers from <strong>the</strong> states of Bahia, Maranhão,Piauí <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> municipality of Aquidauana in Ma<strong>to</strong> Grosso do Sul state. Allmigrant workers are men employed in planting <strong>and</strong> growing activities, whichinclude pesticides application, among o<strong>the</strong>r activities.Women are hired in <strong>the</strong> above mentioned cities <strong>and</strong> employed at <strong>the</strong> seedlingnursery, which has 260 workers employed.ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT49ELDORADO - APRIL, 2012


Besides, <strong>the</strong>re are 534 contrac<strong>to</strong>rs workers from two different companies:Plantar, JS Florestal <strong>and</strong> Ruah.The planting <strong>and</strong> maintenance, including <strong>the</strong> application of pesticides <strong>and</strong>herbicides, are held by ELDORADO <strong>and</strong> contrac<strong>to</strong>rs, Ruah, JS Florestal <strong>and</strong>Plantar.3.2.1 Management SystemRegarding management system, <strong>the</strong> Forestry Operation has software forproject management which includes environmental activities such asprocedures regarding assessment of planting or wood cutting areas. Aprocedure has been recently defined in order <strong>to</strong> assess economic,environmental <strong>and</strong> social aspects of <strong>the</strong> owned, leased or partnership areas.This procedure is called PTEAS – Economic, <strong>Environmental</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Social</strong>Technical Project (“Proje<strong>to</strong> Técnico Econômico, Ambiental e <strong>Social</strong>”) <strong>and</strong> it isdeveloped by a multidisciplinary team.The Forestry Operation intends <strong>to</strong> have by 2017 all <strong>the</strong> wood used in <strong>the</strong>project certified by FSC- Forest Stewardship Council. All <strong>the</strong> process that <strong>the</strong>Forestry Operation manages will be certified.The certification process will be conducted in phases. The first phase involvesall <strong>the</strong> existing planted wood <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> ones <strong>to</strong> be planted until July 2012. Preauditis scheduled for March 2012 <strong>and</strong> final audit in July 2012. After thatELDORADO will include <strong>the</strong> new plantings in <strong>the</strong> scope year by year.

3.3 OVERVIEW OF THE LOGISTICS PROJECTBased on technical, economic <strong>and</strong> environmental feasibility fac<strong>to</strong>rs,ELDORADO will construct two multimodal terminals according <strong>to</strong> twodistinct models, as described below: Model 1: road transportation from <strong>the</strong> industrial plant <strong>to</strong> Aparecida doTaboado (90km) multimodal terminal, <strong>to</strong> be built by <strong>the</strong> Company <strong>and</strong>,<strong>the</strong>n, railroad transportation <strong>to</strong> San<strong>to</strong>s Port (900 km), where <strong>the</strong> productwill be loaded in<strong>to</strong> ships for exportation; <strong>and</strong> Model 2: transportation from <strong>the</strong> industrial plant <strong>to</strong> Pederneirasmultimodal terminal by barges through Tietê river (350 km) <strong>and</strong>, <strong>the</strong>n,using a third party railway (MRS) <strong>to</strong> San<strong>to</strong>s Port (520 km), where <strong>the</strong>product will be loaded in<strong>to</strong> ships for exportation. In <strong>the</strong> port of San<strong>to</strong>s,ELDORADO will construct <strong>and</strong> improve two terminals. One of <strong>the</strong>mcomprises existing Warehouses IX, X, XI <strong>and</strong> XII of <strong>the</strong> Organized Port ofSan<strong>to</strong>s (Por<strong>to</strong> Organizado de San<strong>to</strong>s), hereinafter referred as TerminalEldorado <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r area comprises <strong>the</strong> warehouses III, VIII, XIII <strong>and</strong>XVIII, hereinafter referred as Terminal Elmar, as identified byELDORADO.Fur<strong>the</strong>r information is provided in <strong>the</strong> sections ahead for each terminal.3.3.1 Aparecida do Taboado Multimodal TerminalIn Aparecida do Taboado, ELDORADO acquired a parcel of l<strong>and</strong>, with 61.7hectares, which was part of a farm (Fazenda Boa Esperança). As informed, inPederneiras a warehouse will be constructed by ELDORADO, withapproximately 6,000-m² covered area. The finished product from <strong>the</strong> pulp millin Três Lagoas will be transported by trucks through Federal BR-158 highway(Rodovia BR-158) <strong>and</strong> secondary State road MS-316.Bleached pulp will be unloaded <strong>and</strong> s<strong>to</strong>red in <strong>the</strong> warehouse. S<strong>to</strong>red pulp will<strong>the</strong>n be loaded <strong>to</strong> rail compositions <strong>and</strong> transported <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> San<strong>to</strong>s portterminal by existing railway operated by <strong>the</strong> concessionaire ALL (AméricaLatina Logística).<strong>According</strong> <strong>to</strong> ELDORADO site contacts, <strong>the</strong> company will be responsible for<strong>the</strong> construction of <strong>the</strong> terminal, but all <strong>the</strong> operation will be carried out byALL.The terminal is still in project stage <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> construction works have not yetstarted. An internal railway branch will also be part of <strong>the</strong> project <strong>and</strong> will beconstructed by ELDORADO.ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT53ELDORADO - APRIL, 2012


3.3.2 Pederneiras Multimodal TerminalThis model considers <strong>the</strong> transportation of bleached pulp bales by barges from<strong>the</strong> pulp mill <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> multimodal terminal located in <strong>the</strong> municipality ofPederneiras, approximately 350 km from Três Lagoas, in <strong>the</strong> State of SãoPaulo, using <strong>the</strong> existing Tietê - Paraná hydro way. In Pederneiras, onewarehouse <strong>and</strong> one internal railway branch will be constructed.The pulp mill project comprises <strong>the</strong> construction of a pier at ELDORADO sitein Três Lagoas, which is already included in <strong>the</strong> pulp mill licensing process.The Pederneiras terminal destined <strong>to</strong> ELDORADO’s support operationsconsists of <strong>the</strong> expansion of an existing terminal operated by privatecompanies EPN/Torque. ELDORADO established a contract with <strong>the</strong>navigation company EGTM Navegação (Torque), which will be responsible for<strong>the</strong> expansion of <strong>the</strong> existing terminal <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> construction of <strong>the</strong> requiredwarehousing space for pulp s<strong>to</strong>rage, as well as will be in charge of obtainingall <strong>the</strong> required permits. The existing operations at <strong>the</strong> terminal are mostlyrelated <strong>to</strong> grains s<strong>to</strong>rage <strong>and</strong> transportation. No fur<strong>the</strong>r details are availableregarding <strong>the</strong> expansion.Similarly, a new railway branch will be constructed in <strong>the</strong> terminal. Therailway lines from Pederneiras <strong>to</strong> San<strong>to</strong>s Port are operated by <strong>the</strong>concessionaire MRS Logística, which will reportedly be responsible for <strong>the</strong>construction of <strong>the</strong> railway branch <strong>and</strong> obtaining all required authorizations.The contract was not provided for analysis.The operation of <strong>the</strong> Pederneiras multimodal terminal will be responsibility of<strong>the</strong> existing opera<strong>to</strong>r EGTM Navegação – Torque.3.3.3 San<strong>to</strong>s Port TerminalBackgroundSan<strong>to</strong>s Port administration was granted, since 1888 through an imperialdecree, <strong>to</strong> an economical group (Gaffre, Guinle & Cia.) that won a publictender process. The group constituted a company called Companhia Docas deSan<strong>to</strong>s, which was granted 39 years concession for <strong>the</strong> port administration,later extended <strong>to</strong> 90-year concession.In 1980, <strong>the</strong> legal concession period expired <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> Federal governmentconstituted <strong>the</strong> company Companhia Docas do Estado de São Paulo – CODESP,which is <strong>the</strong> current port authority in San<strong>to</strong>s.CODESP delegates <strong>the</strong> port operation <strong>to</strong> private opera<strong>to</strong>rs through publictender processes.ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT54ELDORADO - APRIL, 2012


ELDORADO intends <strong>to</strong> construct <strong>and</strong> operate two port terminals in San<strong>to</strong>s.However, due <strong>to</strong> time constraints, two different situations will occur. A brieftimeline of <strong>the</strong> port operations by ELDORADO is presented herein.First Two Years of Operation – Terminal ElmarERM visited <strong>the</strong> area of <strong>the</strong> Terminal Elmar on February 10, 2012 <strong>and</strong> wasaccompanied in <strong>the</strong> visit by Mr. Alvaro Bunster, Eldorado’s LogisticsExecutive Manager.ELDORADO acquired part of <strong>the</strong> shares of a company that already operates aport terminal in <strong>the</strong> port of San<strong>to</strong>s. The company operates with solid bulkmaterials <strong>and</strong> is in conformance with <strong>the</strong> San<strong>to</strong>s Port Development <strong>and</strong>Zoning Plan (PDZPS – Plano de Desenvolvimen<strong>to</strong> e Zoneamen<strong>to</strong> do Por<strong>to</strong> de San<strong>to</strong>s– CODESP, 2006), which allows <strong>the</strong> h<strong>and</strong>ling <strong>and</strong> movement of solid bulkmaterials of vegetal or mineral origin, liquids of vegetal origin, containers <strong>and</strong>general loads at that area. ELDORADO operations will also be in compliancewith this zoning regulation, given that pulp is classified as general load.The concession acquired by ELDORADO comprises two existing warehousescurrently operating (Warehouses III <strong>and</strong> VIII), one area corresponding <strong>to</strong> ademolished warehouse (Warehouse XIII) <strong>and</strong> one warehouse in process ofdemolition (Warehouse XVIII).For <strong>the</strong> first two years of operation, ELDORADO has also established aservice provision contract <strong>to</strong> use an area out of <strong>the</strong> organized port of San<strong>to</strong>s,which is operated by a company named Hipercon Terminais. <strong>According</strong> <strong>to</strong>information provided by <strong>the</strong> company’s contacts, in this area two tarpaulinsheds will be assembled <strong>and</strong> one internal railway branch will be constructed.The tarpaulin sheds will constitute a buffer for <strong>the</strong> ships loading. Oneadditional railway branch will also be constructed by <strong>the</strong> railwayconcessionaire at that area, parallel <strong>to</strong> existing railway lines, directlyconnecting Hipercon’s area <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> port terminal area. Reportedly, ELDORADOwill finance <strong>the</strong> construction of <strong>the</strong> required infrastructure in Hipercon’s area,but <strong>the</strong> operations will remain in <strong>the</strong> name of that company, which will beresponsible for obtaining all <strong>the</strong> required permits for construction.Two tarpaulin sheds will also be assembled in <strong>the</strong> Terminal Elmar, on <strong>the</strong> areacorresponding <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Warehouse XIII, already demolished <strong>and</strong> on <strong>the</strong> areacorresponding <strong>to</strong> Warehouse XVIII, in process of demolition.In order <strong>to</strong> be allowed <strong>to</strong> demolish warehouse XVIII, ELDORADO is required<strong>to</strong> develop a demolition plan <strong>and</strong> submit it <strong>to</strong> CODESP, which will issue anauthorization. ELDORADO has already developed <strong>the</strong> demolition plan <strong>and</strong>submitted <strong>to</strong> CODESP <strong>and</strong> is currently waiting for <strong>the</strong> company’sauthorization. The tarpaulin sheds at Terminal Elmar will also work as abuffer for <strong>the</strong> ships loading.ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT55ELDORADO - APRIL, 2012


Initially, <strong>the</strong> pulp from <strong>the</strong> industrial complex in Três Lagoas will arrive <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong>area operated by Hipercon <strong>and</strong> will be unloaded at <strong>the</strong> tarpaulin sheds <strong>to</strong> beconstructed. Pulp will <strong>the</strong>n be loaded <strong>and</strong> transported by trucks <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> area ofTerminal Elmar, where it will be ei<strong>the</strong>r unloaded <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> tarpaulin sheds in <strong>the</strong>terminal area or directly <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> ships. At <strong>the</strong> port terminal, <strong>the</strong> transport ofpulp from <strong>the</strong> tarpaulin sheds <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> mooring berths will initially beaccomplished by trucks.It is expected that <strong>the</strong> issuance of all <strong>the</strong> required authorizations, <strong>the</strong> processof constructing <strong>the</strong> internal railway branches <strong>and</strong> assembly of <strong>the</strong> tarpaulinsheds in Hipercon’s area, <strong>the</strong> demolition of Warehouse XVIII <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> assemblyof <strong>the</strong> tarpaulin sheds in <strong>the</strong> Terminal Elmar’s area will take approximately sixmonths, coinciding with <strong>the</strong> pulp mill startup, thus allowing <strong>the</strong> initialoperation in <strong>the</strong> Port of San<strong>to</strong>s.After this initial operation stage, ELDORADO will demolish Warehouses III<strong>and</strong> VIII <strong>and</strong> construct new warehouses, which will be specifically designedfor <strong>the</strong> movement of pulp bales, using cranes (au<strong>to</strong>mated operation).ELDORADO also foresees <strong>the</strong> installation of a conveyor, connecting <strong>the</strong>warehouses <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> mooring berths (approximately 300 m), thus reducing <strong>the</strong>traffic of trucks in <strong>the</strong> region.ELDORADO expects that <strong>the</strong> process of obtaining all required authorizations,improving <strong>the</strong> existing warehouses, construction of <strong>the</strong> railway branch until<strong>the</strong> Terminal Elmar area <strong>and</strong> installing <strong>the</strong> conveyor, will take approximatelytwo years. After this period, ELDORADO will leave Hipercon’s area <strong>and</strong> willdefinitively operate only in Terminal Elmar’s area.Future Operations – Terminal ELDORADOForeseeing <strong>the</strong> future expansions of <strong>the</strong> pulp production industrial complex inTrês Lagoas, ELDORADO will also build one additional terminal,approximately 500 meters north of Terminal Elmar area.This terminal corresponds <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> existing warehouses IX, X, XI <strong>and</strong> XII, whichare currently operating. As <strong>the</strong> concession granted by CODESP for <strong>the</strong>operation of <strong>the</strong>se warehouses is about <strong>to</strong> expire, a new public tender isongoing. ELDORADO is participating of this public tender process.ELDORADO has already submitted <strong>to</strong> CODESP <strong>the</strong> project of <strong>the</strong> newterminal. Considering that <strong>the</strong> warehouses are in area of Federal management(area belonging <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Federation), ELDORADO has also submitted <strong>the</strong>project <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Federal <strong>Environmental</strong> Agency – IBAMA.The Terminal Eldorado will consist of four warehouses, whose improvementwill be specifically designed for <strong>the</strong> movement of pulp bales using cranes(au<strong>to</strong>mated operation).ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT56ELDORADO - APRIL, 2012


Two internal railway branches will be constructed by <strong>the</strong> railwayconcessionaire at <strong>the</strong> area, thus releasing <strong>the</strong> existing railway lines for <strong>the</strong>traffic of o<strong>the</strong>r compositions <strong>and</strong> avoiding traffic congestion.The timeline for completion of <strong>the</strong> second port terminal in San<strong>to</strong>s is not yetdefined.3.4 ENVIRONMENTAL LICENSING PROCESSAs part of <strong>the</strong> scope, ERM assessed if <strong>the</strong> environmental licensing process,which includes <strong>the</strong> <strong>Environmental</strong> Impact <strong>Assessment</strong> (EIA) study, publichearings <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> environmental basic programs, was performed incompliance with Brazilian regulations. The Brazilian environmentalpermitting legislation <strong>and</strong> detailed information of <strong>the</strong> licensing status processis shown in Annex B.Items 3.4.1 <strong>and</strong> 3.4.2 present a summary of <strong>the</strong> licensing status of <strong>the</strong> project.3.4.1 Industrial <strong>and</strong> Forest OperationsThe pulp mill has been granted, until <strong>the</strong> present moment, with Preliminary<strong>and</strong> Installation Permits by <strong>the</strong> State Environment Agency IMASUL – Ma<strong>to</strong>Grosso do Sul <strong>Environmental</strong> Institute (Institu<strong>to</strong> de Meio Ambiente do Ma<strong>to</strong>Grosso do Sul). Installation License nº 17/2011 issued on February 24 th , 2011,valid until March 26 th , 2013, refers <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> second step of <strong>the</strong> environmentallicensing process, which includes <strong>the</strong> approval of <strong>the</strong> environmental <strong>and</strong>social impact assessment (EIA) <strong>and</strong> also <strong>the</strong> proposed environmentalmoni<strong>to</strong>ring plans outlined in <strong>the</strong> Impact assessment study <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong>n detailedwithin an <strong>Environmental</strong> Basic Plan - PBA (Plano Básico Ambiental). Therequirements of both licenses are being implemented. The environmentalprograms PBA (Plano Básico Ambiental) Basic <strong>Environmental</strong> Plans arecurrently being implemented. Therefore, <strong>the</strong> company is in complianceregarding <strong>the</strong> environmental licensing process.In addition, ELDORADO has recently decided <strong>to</strong> include a sodium chloratemanufacturing plant on site, instead of transporting <strong>the</strong> sodium chlorate bytank trucks from market suppliers. As a result, it applied for an InstallationPermit for <strong>the</strong> plant expansion on August 31, 2011. Additionally, it developedan environmental study (EAP – Estudo Ambiental Preliminar) <strong>and</strong> a riskanalysis, considering <strong>the</strong> presence of <strong>the</strong> Chlorate plant <strong>to</strong> subsidize <strong>the</strong>licensing process. The Installation Permit for <strong>the</strong> Chlorate Plant has not beenissued <strong>to</strong> date.The company foresees <strong>the</strong> completion of installation in November, 2012.Afterwards it will apply for <strong>the</strong> Operating Permit. In <strong>the</strong> meantime,ELDORADO applied for a permit for <strong>the</strong> commissioning stage on November18 th , 2011 in order <strong>to</strong> include in <strong>the</strong> Installation Permit <strong>the</strong> commissioning of:ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT57ELDORADO - APRIL, 2012


pulp production, chemical recovery, utilities <strong>and</strong> manufacturing systems forsodium chlorate, chlorine dioxide <strong>and</strong> oxygen manufacture.ERM observed, that ancillary installations, such as power transmission lines,railway, pier <strong>and</strong> fuel station have distinct licensing processes <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong>reforewould require <strong>the</strong>ir own preliminary, installation <strong>and</strong> operating licenses.The Forestry Operations are not subjected <strong>to</strong> environmental licensingprocess, according <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Brazilian regulations. <strong>According</strong> <strong>to</strong> samples ofdocuments from eucalyptus cultivating areas, provided during site visit, <strong>the</strong>Forestry Operations comply with licensing requirements <strong>and</strong> procedureswith <strong>the</strong> state environmental agency.3.4.2 Logistics ProjectThe environmental licensing process differs for each area of <strong>the</strong> logisticalundertaking.Regarding <strong>the</strong> intermodal terminal in Aparecida do Taboado-MS, it issubjected <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ma<strong>to</strong> Grosso do Sul environmental agency (IMASUL). ASimplified <strong>Environmental</strong> Report- RAS was developed <strong>and</strong>, reportedly, it hasbeen submitted <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> environmental agency in order <strong>to</strong> be granted with <strong>the</strong>preliminary license.As for <strong>the</strong> Pederneiras site, licensed under São Paulo environmental agency(Cetesb), <strong>the</strong> area will be operated by a third party company which throughcontract must comply with environmental legislation, obtain <strong>and</strong> maintain allpermits <strong>and</strong> licenses required. ELDORADO declares that has no responsibilityregarding permits or licensing of <strong>the</strong> area, however, a co-responsibilityrelating <strong>to</strong> environmental <strong>and</strong> social compliance exists <strong>and</strong>, <strong>the</strong>refore, <strong>the</strong>Company should ensure that all third parties’ companies comply with <strong>the</strong>applicable regulations.Regarding <strong>the</strong> areas of <strong>the</strong> Port Terminal in San<strong>to</strong>s, currently three areas areunder <strong>the</strong> scope of <strong>the</strong> logistics undertaking: i)A temporary warehouse,outside <strong>the</strong> so called organized port, licensed under São Paulo environmentalagency (Cetesb), which is owned by a third company that will also operate<strong>and</strong> be responsible for all environmental permits <strong>and</strong> compliance withlegislation; ii)The warehouses III, VIII, XIII <strong>and</strong> XVIII, inside <strong>the</strong> “ElmarTerminal”, also licensed under Cetesb, purchased by ELDORADO fromRodrimar S/A Transportes Equipamen<strong>to</strong>s Industriais e Armazéns Gerais.Warehouses XIII are not currently housing any operations. Warehouse XVIIIhas already been demolished <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> area is released for <strong>the</strong> construction of anew warehouse, as intended by Eldorado. Warehouse XVIII is currently inprocess of demolition with <strong>the</strong> San<strong>to</strong>s Port Authority (CODESP), <strong>to</strong> allow <strong>the</strong>future construction of a new warehouse. This area has operating permit (forwarehouses III <strong>and</strong> VIII according <strong>to</strong> Cetesb’s site) under <strong>the</strong> third company’sname <strong>and</strong> no information has been provided regarding changes in <strong>the</strong>ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT58ELDORADO - APRIL, 2012

In all cases <strong>the</strong> process of certification will be initiatedvoluntarily by forest owners <strong>and</strong> managers who request <strong>the</strong> services of acertification organization. The goal of FSC is <strong>to</strong> promote environmentallyresponsible, socially beneficial <strong>and</strong> economically viable management of <strong>the</strong>world's forests, by establishing a worldwide st<strong>and</strong>ard of recognized <strong>and</strong>respected Principles of Forest Stewardship.The FSC's Principles <strong>and</strong> Criteria (P&C) apply <strong>to</strong> all tropical, temperate <strong>and</strong>boreal forests, as addressed in Principle #9 <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> accompanying glossary.Many of <strong>the</strong>se P&C apply also <strong>to</strong> plantations <strong>and</strong> partially replantedforests.The FSC is based on internationally-acceptable principles <strong>and</strong> criteria forsustainable forest management, <strong>and</strong> include <strong>the</strong> following principles: Principle #1: Compliance with laws <strong>and</strong> FSC Principles. Forestmanagement shall respect all applicable laws of <strong>the</strong> country in which <strong>the</strong>yoccur, <strong>and</strong> international treaties <strong>and</strong> agreements <strong>to</strong> which <strong>the</strong> country is asigna<strong>to</strong>ry, <strong>and</strong> comply with all FSC Principles <strong>and</strong> Criteria. Principle #2: Tenure <strong>and</strong> use rights <strong>and</strong> responsibilities. Long-termtenure <strong>and</strong> use rights <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> l<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> forest resources shall be clearlydefined, documented <strong>and</strong> legally established. Principle #3: Indigenous peoples' rights. The legal <strong>and</strong> cus<strong>to</strong>mary rightsof indigenous peoples <strong>to</strong> own, use <strong>and</strong> manage <strong>the</strong>ir l<strong>and</strong>s, terri<strong>to</strong>ries, <strong>and</strong>resources shall be recognized <strong>and</strong> respected. Principle #4: Community relations <strong>and</strong> worker's rights. Forestmanagement operations shall maintain or enhance <strong>the</strong> long-term social <strong>and</strong>economic well-being of forest workers <strong>and</strong> local communities.ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT59ELDORADO - APRIL, 2012


Principle #5: Benefits from <strong>the</strong> forest. Forest management operations shallencourage <strong>the</strong> efficient use of <strong>the</strong> forest's multiple products <strong>and</strong> services <strong>to</strong>ensure economic viability <strong>and</strong> a wide range of environmental <strong>and</strong> socialbenefits. Principle #6: <strong>Environmental</strong> impact. Forest management shall conservebiological diversity <strong>and</strong> its associated values, water resources, soils, <strong>and</strong>unique <strong>and</strong> fragile ecosystems <strong>and</strong> l<strong>and</strong>scapes, <strong>and</strong>, by so doing, maintain<strong>the</strong> ecological functions <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> integrity of <strong>the</strong> forest. Principle #7: Management plan. A management plan -- appropriate <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong>scale <strong>and</strong> intensity of <strong>the</strong> operations – shall be written, implemented, <strong>and</strong>kept up <strong>to</strong> date. The long term objectives of management, <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> means ofachieving <strong>the</strong>m, shall be clearly stated. Principle #8: Moni<strong>to</strong>ring <strong>and</strong> assessment. Moni<strong>to</strong>ring shall be conducted -- appropriate <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> scale <strong>and</strong> intensity of forest management -- <strong>to</strong> assess<strong>the</strong> condition of <strong>the</strong> forest, yields of forest products, chain of cus<strong>to</strong>dy,management activities <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir social <strong>and</strong> environmental impacts. Principle #9: Maintenance of high conservation value forests.Management activities in high conservation value forests shall maintain orenhance <strong>the</strong> attributes which define such forests. Decisions regarding highconservation value forests shall always be considered in <strong>the</strong> context of aprecautionary approach. Principle #10: Plantations. Plantations shall be planned <strong>and</strong> managed inaccordance with Principles <strong>and</strong> Criteria 1 - 9, <strong>and</strong> Principle 10 <strong>and</strong> itsCriteria. While plantations can provide an array of social <strong>and</strong> economicbenefits, <strong>and</strong> can contribute <strong>to</strong> satisfying <strong>the</strong> world's needs for forestproducts, <strong>the</strong>y should complement <strong>the</strong> management of, reduce pressureson, <strong>and</strong> promote <strong>the</strong> res<strong>to</strong>ration <strong>and</strong> conservation of natural forests.ELDORADO has been preparing <strong>to</strong> obtain a FSC (Forest Stewardship Council)certification for 1,5 years. The company intends <strong>to</strong> certify <strong>the</strong> forestmanagement (owned <strong>and</strong> lease l<strong>and</strong>s <strong>and</strong> partnership agreement) <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong>wood cus<strong>to</strong>dy chain.To accomplish this goal, ELDORADO already started <strong>to</strong> prepare <strong>the</strong> forestmanagement certification; <strong>the</strong>y under<strong>to</strong>ok training, formed working groups,elaborated <strong>and</strong> executed an action plan, hired <strong>the</strong> certification company (SCSFlora) <strong>and</strong> received <strong>the</strong>ir technical visit. They also elaborated <strong>the</strong> ForestManagement Plan, which first version was verified by <strong>the</strong> CertificationCompany. This plan does not include <strong>the</strong> regions of Anastácio <strong>and</strong> Doisirmãos do Buruti municipalities.The pre-certification audit <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> wood process is planned <strong>to</strong> April/2012 <strong>and</strong><strong>the</strong> certification audit <strong>to</strong> August/2012. After that, <strong>the</strong> company will start <strong>the</strong>ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT60ELDORADO - APRIL, 2012

6 FINAL OBSERVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONERM Brazil Ltda. (ERM) was commissioned by ELDORADO BRASIL(ELDORADO) <strong>to</strong> act as Independent <strong>Environmental</strong> Consultant <strong>and</strong> <strong>to</strong>conduct an independent <strong>Social</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Environmental</strong> <strong>Assessment</strong> of its pulp <strong>and</strong>paper plant project which is currently under construction. The project is beingdeveloped in Três Lagoas State of Ma<strong>to</strong> Grosso do Sul/Brazil <strong>and</strong> includeslogistics operations for <strong>the</strong> transportation of pulp produced in <strong>the</strong> industrialcomplex, <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> port of San<strong>to</strong>s in <strong>the</strong> State of São Paulo. The objective of <strong>the</strong><strong>Assessment</strong> was <strong>to</strong> provide technical information for <strong>the</strong> financing processwith FINNVERA, <strong>EKN</strong> <strong>and</strong> OeKB.The Area of Influence of <strong>the</strong> Project represents <strong>the</strong> geographical areaconsidered <strong>to</strong> be affected or potentially affected by <strong>the</strong> Project’s activities. Thisincludes facilities that are directly owned, operated or managed (including bysub-contrac<strong>to</strong>rs), <strong>and</strong> including those areas of unplanned but predictable <strong>and</strong>indirect impacts on biodiversity or on ecosystem services (<strong>the</strong> benefits peopleobtain from ecosystems) upon which affected communities’ livelihoods aredependent. In addition facilities associated with or influenced byELDORADO’s existing facilities, which would not have been constructed orexp<strong>and</strong>ed without <strong>the</strong>se facilities, <strong>and</strong> any third party activities (includingsupply chains) where ELDORADO has significant control <strong>and</strong> influence over<strong>the</strong> third party are also contained within <strong>the</strong> Area of Influence of <strong>the</strong> Project.This report presents <strong>the</strong> findings of <strong>the</strong> independent analysis which has beencarried out with reference <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Equa<strong>to</strong>r Principles; <strong>the</strong> financial industrybenchmark for identifying, assessing <strong>and</strong> managing social <strong>and</strong> environmentalrisk in project financing.Besides <strong>the</strong> gaps <strong>and</strong> findings identified <strong>and</strong> shown in Annex C, D <strong>and</strong> E for<strong>the</strong> industrial plant, forest operations <strong>and</strong> logistics project, respectively, ERMhas identified some issues as part of <strong>the</strong> external fac<strong>to</strong>r review <strong>and</strong> during <strong>the</strong>visits that also poses risk <strong>to</strong> ELDORADO <strong>and</strong> potential lenders. These issuesare described below: <strong>According</strong> <strong>to</strong> secondary data review, one of <strong>the</strong> ELDORADO’S partners,Mário Celso Lopes (from MJ Empreendimen<strong>to</strong>s) has a rubber treeplantation in which <strong>the</strong> Ministry of Labor identified 23 workers in slavelike conditions in June 2010. This farm (Fazenda Santa Izabel) is located atMa<strong>to</strong> Grosso State, around 2.000 km away from Ma<strong>to</strong> Grosso do Sul State.This resulted in 25 infractions notified by <strong>the</strong> Ministry <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> case wasanalyzed by <strong>the</strong> Federal Justice. <strong>According</strong> <strong>to</strong> a report provided by <strong>the</strong> lawcompany in charge of his defense, document named Detailed Report ofProcess (Relatório Detalhado de Processo, dated September 22nd 2011 <strong>and</strong>November 30th, 2011), payments <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> workers were made according <strong>to</strong><strong>the</strong> agreement with <strong>the</strong> Labor Ministry <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> case has been consideredconcluded. As a result, Mário Lopes <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> farm will not be added <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong>ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT 108ELDORADO - APRIL, 2012


Labor Ministry’s Black List. Companies listed are not allowed <strong>to</strong> participateon bidding <strong>and</strong> <strong>to</strong> receive public funds; During ERM visit, it was observed a settlement of <strong>the</strong> L<strong>and</strong>less Movementhad invaded <strong>the</strong> right side of way of <strong>the</strong> federal road, neighboring <strong>the</strong>farms Correntes I <strong>and</strong> II. There are around 10 houses in <strong>the</strong> area <strong>and</strong>,according <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> farm security personnel, <strong>the</strong>y never invaded <strong>the</strong> farms. Toavoid conflict with <strong>the</strong> L<strong>and</strong>less movement, it is recommended <strong>to</strong> include<strong>the</strong> families in <strong>the</strong> engagement process <strong>and</strong> provide adequate training for<strong>the</strong> security personnel; <strong>and</strong> The secondary data review indicated that ALL has been accused by <strong>the</strong>Public Ministry for employing 51 migrant workers in slave-like conditionsat São Paulo State, for which is being charged R$100 million. The workerswere recruited by a third party company for <strong>the</strong> expansion of <strong>the</strong> railway,but <strong>the</strong> Public Ministry underst<strong>and</strong>s that ALL was responsible for <strong>the</strong> poorworking conditions because of <strong>the</strong>ir deficient contrac<strong>to</strong>rs managementpractices <strong>and</strong> because <strong>the</strong> degrading work was performed on <strong>the</strong> ALL’ssite, which was directly supervised by <strong>the</strong> company’s representative.(source: http://www.reporterbrasil.org.br/exibe.php?id=2012). This posesa reputational risk <strong>to</strong> ELDORADO in case <strong>the</strong> same practices are repeatedat <strong>the</strong> construction of <strong>the</strong> internal railway branch. Reportedly, <strong>the</strong> contractsigned between ELDORADO <strong>and</strong> ALL includes a clause that both partsshall not employ slave or child labor.In addition <strong>and</strong> as explained previously, ERM did not perform site visits <strong>to</strong> allfarms where ELDORADO has or will have plantations activities, due <strong>to</strong>schedule <strong>and</strong> budget reasons. ERM considers that <strong>the</strong> sampling performedwas adequate for an overall assessment of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Environmental</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Social</strong>Management System, however, recognizes that with this strategy it was notpossible <strong>to</strong> identify specific conditions in <strong>the</strong> areas not visited. In order <strong>to</strong>mitigate this matter, ERM recommends ELDORADO <strong>to</strong> prioritize anenvironmental <strong>and</strong> social assessment of <strong>the</strong> areas not visit <strong>and</strong> include <strong>the</strong>specific gaps in <strong>the</strong>ir corrective actions plan.Finally, ERM recommend that ELDORADO must develop a detailed ESMP –<strong>Environmental</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Social</strong> Management Plan based on <strong>the</strong> evaluation of <strong>the</strong>E&S impact of <strong>the</strong> existing <strong>and</strong> future activities <strong>and</strong> facilities <strong>to</strong> ensureongoing compliance with national <strong>and</strong> <strong>IFC</strong> requirements during construction<strong>and</strong> operation. The ESMP shall provide associated mitigation measures <strong>and</strong>moni<strong>to</strong>ring measures for both construction <strong>and</strong> operation phases.As part of <strong>the</strong> ESMP <strong>the</strong> following measures described on Table 5.2 should betaken as priority. A preliminary <strong>Environmental</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Social</strong> (E&S) Action Planwith <strong>the</strong> priority measures will be prepared by ELDORADO <strong>and</strong> submitted <strong>to</strong><strong>the</strong> Financial Institutions.ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT 109ELDORADO - APRIL, 2012


Moreover, ELDORADO must prepare <strong>and</strong> provide an annual report on <strong>the</strong>implementation progression of <strong>the</strong> E&S Action Plan <strong>and</strong> establish a thirdparty review process during remaining construction phase.ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT 110ELDORADO - APRIL, 2012

Annex BBrazilian <strong>Environmental</strong>Licensing Process Description


1 ENVIRONMENTAL LICENSING PROCESSAs part of <strong>the</strong> scope, ERM assessed if <strong>the</strong> environmental licensing process,which includes <strong>the</strong> <strong>Environmental</strong> Impact <strong>Assessment</strong> (EIA) study, publichearings <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> environmental basic programs, was performed incompliance with Brazilian regulations.<strong>Environmental</strong> Licensing RegulationsFederal Law 6.938/81 (amended by Laws 7.804/1989, 8.028/1990, 9.960/2000,9.966/2000, 10.165/2000, 11.105/2005 <strong>and</strong> 11.284/2006) defines <strong>the</strong>environmental permitting obligation for construction, installation,enlargement <strong>and</strong> operation of establishments <strong>and</strong> activities that useenvironmental resources, considered effective or potential polluters or thatcan cause environmental degradation.Article 10 of Federal Law 6.938/81, amended by Law 7.804/1989, establishesthat States are responsible for environmental licensing in <strong>the</strong>ir terri<strong>to</strong>ries,except for projects with regional or national influence concerningenvironmental impacts, where IBAMA (Institu<strong>to</strong> Brasileiro de Meio Ambientee Recursos Naturais Renováveis), is currently assigned as <strong>the</strong> environmentalauthority.The environmental licensing of activities that are considered potential sourcesof pollution or present potential environmental impacts is regulated at <strong>the</strong>Federal level by Federal Law 6938/81; Federal Decrees 99274/90 <strong>and</strong> 3942/01;CONAMA Resolution 001/86 <strong>and</strong> CONAMA Resolution 237/97. Theseregulations establish three general levels of licensing for new projects. Theyalso indicate that <strong>the</strong> environmental authorities shall make licensingprocedures compatible with <strong>the</strong> planning <strong>and</strong> implementation steps of newprojects, having <strong>the</strong> following as minimum requirements: Preliminary License (Licença Prévia - LP): issued after <strong>the</strong> project <strong>and</strong>design of each facility has been approved; Installation License (Licença de Instalação - LI): issued before <strong>the</strong>construction of each development; <strong>and</strong> Operating License (Licença de Operação - LO): issued after <strong>the</strong> phase ofconstruction <strong>and</strong> before operations commence.Existing plants/facilities/developments must obtain new environmentalpermits whenever any processes are changed, any facilities are exp<strong>and</strong>ed ornew facilities are constructed which include any new equipment or building.


With regards <strong>to</strong> State licensing regulations for forest activities, according <strong>to</strong>SEMAC Resolution n.008 of 31 May 2011 of <strong>the</strong> State of Ma<strong>to</strong> Grosso do Sul,<strong>and</strong> Resolution SEMAC / MS No. 17 September 20, 2007, <strong>the</strong> plantingactivities <strong>and</strong> conduct of forest species mentioned within are exempt fromlicensing.1.1 INDUSTRIAL SITE ENVIRONMENTAL LICENSING PROCEDURES1.1.1 Federal LevelFederal CONAMA Resolution 01/86 requires that <strong>Environmental</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Social</strong>Impact <strong>Assessment</strong> (EIA) must be prepared by developers for new projects orexpansions of projects listed in its Article 2, which includes pulp <strong>and</strong> paperproduction facilities, railways, ports, pipelines, high-voltage transmissionlines above 230 kV <strong>and</strong> energy power plants above 10 MW, among o<strong>the</strong>rs.However, this list is only indicative, allowing State or Municipal agencies <strong>to</strong>require an EIA for o<strong>the</strong>r planned industries or enlargement of existing ones.An EIA <strong>and</strong> its report RIMA - <strong>Environmental</strong> Impact Statement (Relatório deImpac<strong>to</strong> Ambiental) must be developed, submitted <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> environmentalprotection agency <strong>and</strong> <strong>to</strong> a public hearing, reviewed <strong>and</strong> approved before <strong>the</strong>issuance of a Preliminary Permit.The authorities responsible for <strong>the</strong> EIA review at Federal Level are IBAMA(Brazilian <strong>Environmental</strong> Institute) <strong>and</strong> CONAMA (National <strong>Environmental</strong>Council), <strong>and</strong> at State Level is <strong>the</strong> Environment Office/<strong>Environmental</strong> Councilof <strong>the</strong> respective State.CONAMA Resolution 01/86 also indicates that <strong>the</strong> EIA must be conducted bya qualified multidisciplinary team, independent of <strong>the</strong> project entrepreneur.All <strong>the</strong> 3 stages of permit previously described, besides having an expirationterm, are also subject of alterations, suspensions <strong>and</strong> annulments. Theseactions can happen in <strong>the</strong> following cases: Violation or unsatisfac<strong>to</strong>ry fulfillment of any legal rule or circumstance; Omission or misdirection of relevant information during <strong>the</strong> permittingprocess; <strong>and</strong> Occurrence of severe environmental <strong>and</strong>/or health risks.<strong>According</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Federal Regulations, <strong>the</strong> permits must be publiclyannounced. This measure was created in order <strong>to</strong> allow <strong>the</strong> society <strong>to</strong> take par<strong>to</strong>n <strong>the</strong> licensing procedure. As stated by <strong>the</strong> CONAMA Resolution 006/86,“all <strong>the</strong> permit requests, renewing <strong>and</strong> issuing must be published at <strong>the</strong>official press, as well as in large-circulation regional or local periodicals”.


Failure in doing so causes <strong>the</strong> cancellation of <strong>the</strong> permit by <strong>the</strong> government or<strong>the</strong> judicial power, by means of a class action.1.1.2 Licensing under Ma<strong>to</strong> Grosso do Sul State ScopeThe Ma<strong>to</strong> Grosso do Sul State <strong>Environmental</strong> Licensing process follows <strong>the</strong>Federal regulations <strong>and</strong> establishes complementation <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> State <strong>and</strong> localresponsibilities.The laws <strong>and</strong> resolutions bellow summarize <strong>the</strong> legislation on <strong>the</strong> subject.Ma<strong>to</strong> Grosso do Sul State Law nº 2257/01 establishes <strong>the</strong> guidelines for stateenvironmental licensing <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> timeframe for <strong>the</strong> issuance of Permits <strong>and</strong><strong>Environmental</strong> authorizations.<strong>According</strong> <strong>to</strong> its article 4 <strong>the</strong> procedure, for environmental licensing mus<strong>to</strong>bey <strong>the</strong> following steps:I. <strong>Environmental</strong> Permit application by <strong>the</strong> entrepreneur, accompanied by<strong>the</strong> documents appropriately filled out <strong>and</strong> following <strong>the</strong> legal <strong>and</strong> materialrequirements, projects <strong>and</strong> environmental studies requested <strong>and</strong> itspublicity;II. Documents, projects <strong>and</strong> environmental studies analysis presented <strong>and</strong>technical inspections, when necessary;III. Public Hearings, when necessary, according <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> regulations;IV. Explanations <strong>and</strong> clarifications may be requested due <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> analysis of <strong>the</strong>public hearings; <strong>and</strong>V. Issuance of <strong>the</strong> permit <strong>and</strong> publication of <strong>the</strong> permit concession.In its article 6 <strong>the</strong> specific procedures for environmental permit authorizationare defined, as well as <strong>the</strong> unique characteristics of a project or activity, forinstance, simplified procedures for low potential environmental impact whichwill be approved by State <strong>Environmental</strong> Control Council.Article 8 defines <strong>the</strong> limit date for notifications or expiration dates for permits.<strong>According</strong> <strong>to</strong> article 14, municipalities are responsible for environmentallicensing of enterprises <strong>and</strong> activities considered <strong>to</strong> have local impact, as wellas those delegated by IMASUL – <strong>Environmental</strong> Institute of Ma<strong>to</strong> Grosso doSul State (Institu<strong>to</strong> de Meio Ambiente do Ma<strong>to</strong> Grosso do Sul) by legalinstrument or agreement.SEMA (State <strong>Environmental</strong> Secretariat) Resolution nº 1 from January 26, 1989establishes <strong>the</strong> State <strong>Environmental</strong> Licensing service for pollutant activities,


defining <strong>the</strong> process which consists in obtaining three permit levels:Preliminary, Installation <strong>and</strong> Operating permits <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> activities subjected <strong>to</strong>it.State Decree nº 10.600 from December 19, 2001 establishes <strong>the</strong> technical <strong>and</strong>administrative cooperation between state <strong>and</strong> municipal environmentalagencies aiming at <strong>the</strong> licensing <strong>and</strong> inspection of activities with localenvironmental impacts.State Decree nº 11.204 from May 7, 2003 establishes <strong>the</strong> State jurisdiction forenvironmental licensing in Ma<strong>to</strong> Grosso do Sul State.SEMA/IMAP Resolution nº 01, from April 30th, 2003 establishes <strong>the</strong>procedures for environmental licensing process analysis.<strong>According</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Organic Law of Três Lagoas/MS city nº 1.795 from July 16,2002 <strong>the</strong> municipality is responsible <strong>to</strong> legislate about local public interests,complementing Federal <strong>and</strong> State regulations; promote spatial order throughuse <strong>and</strong> soil occupation control among o<strong>the</strong>rs.1.1.3 ELDORADO Licensing StatusAs previously explained, <strong>the</strong> entrepreneurship of ELDORADO in <strong>the</strong> city ofTrês Lagoas, State of Ma<strong>to</strong> Grosso do Sul -MS consists in <strong>the</strong> installation of ableached kraft eucalyptus pulp mill, eucalyptus homogeneous reforestation<strong>and</strong> related infrastructure such as pier, railway <strong>and</strong> power transmission lines.The Pulp mill is located on <strong>the</strong> road BR 158, km 231, Fazenda Santa Vera in <strong>the</strong>municipality of Três Lagoas in <strong>the</strong> center western region of Brazil.The pulp mill has been granted, until <strong>the</strong> present moment, with Preliminary<strong>and</strong> Installation Permits by <strong>the</strong> State Environment Agency IMASUL – Ma<strong>to</strong>Grosso do Sul <strong>Environmental</strong> Institute (Institu<strong>to</strong> de Meio Ambiente do Ma<strong>to</strong>Grosso do Sul). The Installation Permit – LI refers <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> second step of <strong>the</strong>environmental licensing process, which includes <strong>the</strong> approval of <strong>the</strong>environmental <strong>and</strong> social impact assessment (EIA) <strong>and</strong> also <strong>the</strong> proposedenvironmental moni<strong>to</strong>ring plans outlined in <strong>the</strong> Impact assessment study <strong>and</strong><strong>the</strong>n detailed within an <strong>Environmental</strong> Basic Plan - PBA (Plano BásicoAmbiental).). The requirements of both licenses are being implemented.Therefore, <strong>the</strong> company is in compliance regarding <strong>the</strong> environmentallicensing process.The process began in 2009 with <strong>the</strong> elaboration of <strong>the</strong> EIA for a pulp milldeveloped by <strong>the</strong> former owner of <strong>the</strong> entrepreneurship FlorestalInvestimen<strong>to</strong>s Florestais S⁄A (Florestal). Florestal has developed a strategiceucalyptus cultivation <strong>and</strong> also partnership <strong>and</strong> leasing contracts of wood inTrês Lagoas, Selvíria, Água Clara, Inocência, Aparecida do Taboado in Ma<strong>to</strong>Grosso do Sul state <strong>and</strong> also o<strong>the</strong>r cities in <strong>the</strong> state of São Paulo.


During <strong>the</strong> EIA analysis process <strong>the</strong> <strong>Environmental</strong> Agency IMASULconducted a Public Hearing held on December 3rd, 2009, at 7pm in TrêsLagoas city, in Centro de Even<strong>to</strong>s Leiloado at Road BR 262, km 11.ELDORADO Brasil received <strong>the</strong> Preliminary License LP nº 314/2009. Afterthis, a complementary study called Basic <strong>Environmental</strong> Project (Proje<strong>to</strong>Básico Ambiental - PBA) was held in order <strong>to</strong> detail <strong>the</strong> environmentalprograms proposed in <strong>the</strong> EIA <strong>and</strong> <strong>to</strong> comply with <strong>the</strong> technical requirementsimposed on <strong>the</strong> LP by <strong>the</strong> <strong>Environmental</strong> Agency.In this phase of <strong>the</strong> project it was decided that <strong>the</strong> power transmission lines,railway, pier <strong>and</strong> fuel station would have distinct licensing process <strong>and</strong><strong>the</strong>refore would require <strong>the</strong>ir own preliminary, installation <strong>and</strong> operatinglicenses. The forest is not subject <strong>to</strong> environmental licensing process.The environmental programs - PBA (Plano Básico Ambiental) are currentlybeing implemented.The table 1.1 lists <strong>the</strong> environmental programs (PBA).Table 1.1<strong>Environmental</strong> Programs of <strong>the</strong> Pulp <strong>and</strong> Paper Mill<strong>Environmental</strong> Programs1.

Therefore, after analysis of documents from <strong>the</strong> environmental agency,ELDORADO has been issued <strong>the</strong> Installation License nº 17/2011 on February24th, 2011. The Installation License is valid until March 26th, 2013.ELDORADO has recently decided <strong>to</strong> include a sodium chloratemanufacturing plant on site, instead of transporting <strong>the</strong> sodium chlorate bytank trucks from market suppliers. As a result, it applied for an InstallationPermit for <strong>the</strong> plant expansion on August 31, 2011. Additionally, it developedan simplified environmental study (EAP – Estudo Ambiental Preliminar) <strong>and</strong>a risk analysis, considering <strong>the</strong> presence of <strong>the</strong> Chlorate plant <strong>to</strong> subsidize <strong>the</strong>licensing process. The Installation Permit for <strong>the</strong> Chlorate Plant has not beenissued <strong>to</strong> date.The company foresees <strong>the</strong> completion of installation in November, 2012.Afterwards it will apply for <strong>the</strong> Operating Permit. In <strong>the</strong> meantime,ELDORADO applied for a permit for <strong>the</strong> commissioning stage on November18th, 2011 in order <strong>to</strong> include in <strong>the</strong> Installation Permit <strong>the</strong> commissioning of:pulp production, chemical recovery, utilities <strong>and</strong> manufacturing systems forsodium chlorate, chlorine dioxide <strong>and</strong> oxygen manufacture.The company has o<strong>the</strong>r licensing processes as follows below: Operation License nº 83/2011 from November 27th, 2010 for electricalsubstation – currently supplying energy <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> construction works; Installation License nº 148/2011 from July 7th, 2010 for electrical substation– currently installing on site; Preliminary License nº 135/2010 from November 4th, 2010 for <strong>the</strong> pier –Reportedly ELDORADO has submitted <strong>to</strong> IMASUL a study called EAP –Preliminary <strong>Environmental</strong> Study, <strong>to</strong> change in 300m <strong>the</strong> coordinates of <strong>the</strong>pier which were informed in <strong>the</strong> EIA; Preliminary License nº 137/2010 from November 4th, 2010 for <strong>the</strong> fuelstation – The concessionaire of <strong>the</strong> fuel station is Petrobras <strong>and</strong>, reportedly,this company is responsible <strong>to</strong> issue <strong>the</strong> documentation for Installation <strong>and</strong>Operation License, since <strong>the</strong>y will be operating <strong>the</strong> station <strong>and</strong> Preliminary License nº 136/2010 from November 4th, 2010 for railextension inside <strong>the</strong> enterprise.All <strong>the</strong> licenses listed above are currently valid.2 FORESTRY OPERATIONS LICENSINGFor <strong>the</strong> forestry activities no <strong>Environmental</strong> Impact <strong>Assessment</strong> (EIA) <strong>and</strong>


<strong>Environmental</strong> Basic Plan (PBA) were developed, according <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> exemptiongranted by State regulations.The previously mentioned legislation requires Florestal <strong>to</strong> issues <strong>to</strong> IMASUL -state environmental agency - "Planting Informative" of <strong>the</strong> concerning areasfor such activity as well as <strong>the</strong> appropriate "environmental clearance forcutting of planted forests."These documents dem<strong>and</strong> proof of preservation of legally protected areas.The legally protected areas, such as legal reserve <strong>and</strong> permanent preservationareas are defined by Brazilian legislation. Reportedly, it is expected an averageuse of 65% of <strong>the</strong> properties. <strong>According</strong> <strong>to</strong> information provided on site visitfrom <strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong>tal of 32.295 m² of legally protected areas, 24.044 m² are legalreserves <strong>and</strong> 8,251m² are permanent preservation areas. Relating <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> legalreserves, reportedly 13% of all legal reserves are submitted <strong>and</strong> recognized by<strong>the</strong> environmental agency, 53% has been submitted <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> environmentalagency for approval <strong>and</strong> 34% has signed term of commitment for proof oflegal reserve within two years.<strong>According</strong> <strong>to</strong> documents samples of eucalyptus cultivating areas, providedduring site visit, ELDORADO complies with licensing requirements <strong>and</strong>procedures with <strong>the</strong> state environmental agency.3 LOGISTICS PROJECT ENVIRONMENTAL LICENSING PROCESSAs part of <strong>the</strong> scope, ERM assessed if <strong>the</strong> environmental licensing process wasperformed in compliance with Brazilian regulations for <strong>the</strong> following areas:Fazenda Boa Esperança in Aparecida do Taboado –MS, Terminal inPederneiras – SP, Temporary <strong>and</strong> future warehouses in San<strong>to</strong>s Port Terminal-SP.3.1 LICENSING UNDER FEDERAL SCOPEFederal Law 6.938/81 (amended by Laws 7.804/1989, 8.028/1990, 9.960/2000,9.966/2000, 10.165/2000, 11.105/2005 <strong>and</strong> 11.284/2006) defines <strong>the</strong>environmental permitting obligation for construction, installation,enlargement <strong>and</strong> operation of establishments <strong>and</strong> activities that useenvironmental resources, considered effective or potential polluters or thatcan cause environmental degradation.Article 10 of Federal Law 6.938/81, amended by Law 7.804/1989, establishesthat States are responsible for environmental licensing in <strong>the</strong>ir terri<strong>to</strong>ries,except for projects with regional or national influence concerningenvironmental impacts, where <strong>the</strong> Federal <strong>Environmental</strong> Agency, IBAMA(Institu<strong>to</strong> Brasileiro de Meio Ambiente e Recursos Naturais Renováveis), is


currently assigned as <strong>the</strong> environmental authority.The environmental licensing of activities that are considered potential sourcesof pollution or present potential environmental impacts is regulated at <strong>the</strong>Federal level by Federal Law 6938/81; Federal Decrees 99274/90 <strong>and</strong> 3942/01;CONAMA Resolution 001/86 <strong>and</strong> CONAMA Resolution 237/97. Theseregulations establish three general levels of licensing for new projects. Theyalso indicate that <strong>the</strong> environmental authorities shall make licensingprocedures compatible with <strong>the</strong> planning <strong>and</strong> implementation steps of newprojects, having <strong>the</strong> following as minimum requirements: Preliminary License (Licença Prévia - LP): issued after <strong>the</strong> project <strong>and</strong>design of each facility has been approved; Installation License (Licença de Instalação - LI): issued before <strong>the</strong>construction of each development; <strong>and</strong> Operating License (Licença de Operação - LO): issued after <strong>the</strong> phase ofconstruction <strong>and</strong> before operations commence.Existing plants/facilities/developments must obtain new environmentalpermits whenever any processes are changed, any facilities are exp<strong>and</strong>ed ornew facilities are constructed which include any new equipment or building.The Federal Law 8630/93 deals with <strong>the</strong> legal operation of organized ports<strong>and</strong> port facilities <strong>and</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r measures.ANTAQ Resolution 830/07 approves <strong>the</strong> leasing program of areas <strong>and</strong> portfacilities in port of San<strong>to</strong>s.MMA Ordinance 424/11, provides for specific procedures <strong>to</strong> be applied byIBAMA in environmental regulation of ports <strong>and</strong> port terminals, as well asthose granted <strong>to</strong> Companhia Docas.The area of <strong>the</strong> Organized Port of San<strong>to</strong>s is composed in accordance withOrdinance No. 1021 of 12/20/93, of <strong>the</strong> Ministry of Transport by:a) <strong>the</strong> existing l<strong>and</strong> port facilities on <strong>the</strong> right bank of <strong>the</strong> estuary formed by<strong>the</strong> isl<strong>and</strong>s of Sao Vicente <strong>and</strong> San<strong>to</strong> Amaro, from Ponta da Praia <strong>to</strong>Alemoa <strong>and</strong> on <strong>the</strong> left bank, from <strong>the</strong> isl<strong>and</strong> of Barnabé <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> confluenceof <strong>the</strong> Rio San<strong>to</strong> Amaro, including all piers, docks, bridges, piers <strong>and</strong>mooring berths, warehouses, yards, buildings in general, internalcirculation roads <strong>and</strong> rail roads, <strong>and</strong> also <strong>the</strong> l<strong>and</strong> along <strong>the</strong>se marginalb<strong>and</strong>s <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir surroundings, belonging <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Union, incorporated or not<strong>the</strong> property of <strong>the</strong> Port of San<strong>to</strong>s, or under its cus<strong>to</strong>dy <strong>and</strong> responsibility,including also <strong>the</strong> Itatinga Hydroelectric Power Plant <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> range ofdomain of its transmission lines, <strong>and</strong>

Documents, projects <strong>and</strong> environmental studies analysis presented <strong>and</strong>technical inspections, when necessary;III. Public Hearings, when necessary, according <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> regulations;IV. Explanations <strong>and</strong> clarifications may be requested due <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> analysis of<strong>the</strong> public hearings; <strong>and</strong>V. Issuance of <strong>the</strong> permit <strong>and</strong> publication of <strong>the</strong> permit concession.In its article 6 <strong>the</strong> specific procedures for environmental permit authorizationare defined, as well as <strong>the</strong> unique characteristics of a project or activity, forinstance, simplified procedures for low potential environmental impact whichwill be approved by State <strong>Environmental</strong> Control Council.Article 8 defines <strong>the</strong> limit date for notifications or expiration dates for permits.<strong>According</strong> <strong>to</strong> article 14, municipalities are responsible for environmentallicensing of enterprises <strong>and</strong> activities considered <strong>to</strong> have local impact, as wellas those delegated by IMASUL – <strong>Environmental</strong> Institute of Ma<strong>to</strong> Grosso doSul State (Institu<strong>to</strong> de Meio Ambiente do Ma<strong>to</strong> Grosso do Sul) by legal


instrument or agreement.SEMA (State <strong>Environmental</strong> Secretariat) Resolution 01/89 establishes <strong>the</strong> State<strong>Environmental</strong> Licensing service for pollutant activities, defining <strong>the</strong> processwhich consists in obtaining three permit levels: Preliminary, Installation <strong>and</strong>Operating permits <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> activities subjected <strong>to</strong> it.State Decree 10.600/01 establishes <strong>the</strong> technical <strong>and</strong> administrativecooperation between state <strong>and</strong> municipal environmental agencies aiming at<strong>the</strong> licensing <strong>and</strong> inspection of activities with local environmental impacts.State Decree 11.204/03 establishes <strong>the</strong> State jurisdiction for environmentallicensing in Ma<strong>to</strong> Grosso do Sul State.SEMA/IMAP Resolution 01/03 establishes <strong>the</strong> procedures for environmentallicensing process analysis.<strong>According</strong> <strong>to</strong> SEMAC Resolution 008/2011, it was established <strong>the</strong>documentation required for environmental licensing of an infrastructureproject, such as <strong>the</strong> multimodal terminal with an area of up <strong>to</strong> 10,000 m²,which is ELDORADO’s case. To obtain <strong>the</strong> preliminary license it is required <strong>to</strong>submit <strong>the</strong> following studies <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> state environmental agency (IMASUL):RAS - Simplified <strong>Environmental</strong> Report, PBA - Basic <strong>Environmental</strong> Plan <strong>and</strong>Form of linear works. In addition, <strong>to</strong> obtain <strong>the</strong> operating permit it is required<strong>the</strong> RTC-Technical Report of Completion. In this case, <strong>the</strong> installation license isnot required.3.3 LICENSING UNDER SÃO PAULO STATE SCOPEThe São Paulo State <strong>Environmental</strong> Licensing process follows <strong>the</strong> Federalregulations <strong>and</strong> establishes complementation <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> State <strong>and</strong> localresponsibilities.In <strong>the</strong> State of São Paulo, CETESB is <strong>the</strong> agency assigned with <strong>the</strong> authority <strong>to</strong>issue permits for potential pollution sources, including industrial activities.SMA (State Secretary of Environment) reviews licensing procedures for o<strong>the</strong>rpotential pollution sources in <strong>the</strong> event a <strong>Environmental</strong> Impact <strong>Assessment</strong>exists, in accordance with Federal regulations.<strong>According</strong> with <strong>the</strong> State Law 997, issued on May 31st, 1976, modified by Law9477/96, every installation, construction or enlargement <strong>and</strong> operation ofpollutant sources listed in this law are subject <strong>to</strong> prior authorization by <strong>the</strong><strong>Environmental</strong> Authority via permits.Permits issued by <strong>the</strong> <strong>Environmental</strong> State Authority include:


Preliminary <strong>Environmental</strong> Permit – LP (Licença Prévia): issued during<strong>the</strong> planning of a pollution source. LP contains <strong>the</strong> basic requirementsthat must be complied with during <strong>the</strong> location, installation <strong>and</strong> operationof <strong>the</strong> project;Installation <strong>Environmental</strong> Permit – LI (Licença de Instalação): this permitauthorizes <strong>the</strong> installation / construction of <strong>the</strong> project; <strong>and</strong>Operating <strong>Environmental</strong> Permit - LO (Licença de Operação): authorizes<strong>the</strong> operation of <strong>the</strong> site <strong>and</strong> any environmental control equipment, inaccordance with LP <strong>and</strong> LI requirements.The expiration date of <strong>the</strong> permits will be defined by <strong>the</strong> <strong>Environmental</strong>Agency, depending on <strong>the</strong> projects potential for polluting. An Operating<strong>Environmental</strong> Permit has a validity of approximately 5 years.State Decree 8468 issued on September 08, 1976 regulates State Law 997/76.Title V of <strong>the</strong> State Decree, modified by State Decree 47397/02, establishes <strong>the</strong>permitting requirements for São Paulo State. Pollution sources subject <strong>to</strong> an<strong>Environmental</strong> Permit are listed in Article 57 of State Decree 8468/76. Annex10 of State Decree 8468/76 defines <strong>the</strong> projects subjected <strong>to</strong> LP. Article 58-A ofState Decree 8468/76, presents <strong>the</strong> activities subjected <strong>to</strong> an Installation Permit<strong>and</strong> Article 62 establishes <strong>the</strong> activities subjected <strong>to</strong> an Operating Permit.<strong>According</strong> <strong>to</strong> Article 58-A of State Decree 8468/76, <strong>the</strong> Installation Permitshould be obtained for:The construction, reconstruction, enlargement or renovation of anybuilding where a potential pollution source is installed;The installation of a new potential pollution source in an existingbuilding; <strong>and</strong>The installation, enlargement or alteration of a pollution source.<strong>According</strong> <strong>to</strong> Article 62 of State Decree 8468/76, <strong>the</strong> LO should be obtainedfor:Use of a new building or modification <strong>to</strong> an existing building where anew pollution source will be installed;The operation of a pollution source within an existing building;The operation pollution source already installed, enlarged or modified;<strong>and</strong>L<strong>and</strong> subdivision, detachment condominium <strong>and</strong> housing development,prior <strong>to</strong> occupation, <strong>and</strong> cemeteries.


Article 59 of State Decree 8468/76 states that a Municipal Certificate isrequired when a facility applies for <strong>the</strong> installation permit, in order <strong>to</strong> verify if<strong>the</strong> location <strong>and</strong> type of <strong>the</strong> installation are in accordance with municipallegislation.Article 71 of <strong>the</strong> State Decree 8468/76 states that <strong>the</strong> pollution sources alreadycovered by an Operating Permit obtained prior <strong>to</strong> December 04, 2002 will becontacted by CETESB during <strong>the</strong> next five years, in order <strong>to</strong> update <strong>the</strong>permit.State Decree 47397, issued on December 04, 2002 modify State Decree 8468/76<strong>and</strong> establishes deadlines for installation <strong>and</strong> operating permits applications,expiration dates of operating permits <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> fees charged for issuing apermit.State Decree 47400/02 issued on December 04, 2002 regulates State Law9505/97 <strong>and</strong> establishes expiration dates for each type of environmentalpermit <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> conditions for <strong>the</strong> permit renewal. The Operating Permit willbe valid for a period ranging from 2 <strong>to</strong> a maximum of 10 years.Article 5 of State Decree 47400/02 establishes that facilities subjected <strong>to</strong>environmental permits must communicate with <strong>the</strong> environmental agency <strong>the</strong>suspension <strong>and</strong> closure of <strong>the</strong>ir activities, through a Deactivation Plan. TheDeactivation Plan must contain <strong>the</strong> environmental situation of <strong>the</strong> site <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong>measures implemented <strong>to</strong> recover or remediate <strong>the</strong> site. A final report must besubmitted <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> environmental agency after <strong>the</strong> completion of <strong>the</strong>remediation activities. The decree also establishes <strong>the</strong> schedule <strong>and</strong> prices forreview of <strong>the</strong> deactivation process.SMA Resolution 22/07 establishes <strong>the</strong> unification <strong>and</strong> integration ofenvironmental permitting in <strong>the</strong> State of São Paulo, <strong>and</strong> also modifiespermitting procedures for those activities listed in its attachments. Theintermodal Terminal in Pederneiras will be managed <strong>and</strong> operated by a thirdparty company which will be responsible for all environmental licensingprocedures as detailed below.3.4 PORT LICENSINGThere are different agencies with responsibilities related <strong>to</strong> environmentalcontrols in <strong>the</strong> area affected by <strong>the</strong> operations of <strong>the</strong> port of San<strong>to</strong>s: CODESP,which coordinates <strong>and</strong> moni<strong>to</strong>rs <strong>the</strong> progress of environmental management;<strong>the</strong> Navy, who must control <strong>the</strong> ships <strong>and</strong> pollution episodes caused by <strong>the</strong>m,as well as channels <strong>and</strong> tide l<strong>and</strong>s; <strong>the</strong> State <strong>Environmental</strong> Agency (CETESB),tasked with overseeing potentially polluting activities, moni<strong>to</strong>r <strong>the</strong>environment <strong>and</strong> perform <strong>the</strong> licensing of activities that modify <strong>the</strong>environment; <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> Federal <strong>Environmental</strong> Agency, IBAMA which is alsoresponsible for environmental licensing.


The Board of IBAMA <strong>Environmental</strong> Licensing, along with some stateenvironmental agencies (OEMA), are adopting <strong>the</strong> criteria of location in <strong>the</strong>terri<strong>to</strong>rial sea or internal waters for <strong>the</strong> definition of competence of jurisdictionof environmental agencies <strong>to</strong> conduct <strong>the</strong> environmental permits for ports. Todo so, <strong>the</strong>y are using <strong>the</strong> demarcation of straight baselines established byFederal Decree 4.983/2004.It is clear that, in accordance with Article 1 of Federal Law nº 8.617/1993, <strong>the</strong>Brazilian terri<strong>to</strong>rial sea is a belt of twelve nautical miles wide, measured from<strong>the</strong> low tide line of <strong>the</strong> coastal mainl<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> isl<strong>and</strong>s, as indicated in largescalecharts officially recognized in Brazil. In locations where <strong>the</strong> coastline isindented <strong>and</strong> cut deep or where <strong>the</strong>re is a fringe of isl<strong>and</strong>s along <strong>the</strong> coast inits immediate vicinity, it is adopted <strong>the</strong> method of straight baselinesconnecting <strong>the</strong> appropriate points for drawing <strong>the</strong> baseline, from which <strong>to</strong>measure <strong>the</strong> extent of terri<strong>to</strong>rial sea.<strong>According</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Federal Decree 4.983/2004, in all o<strong>the</strong>r parts of <strong>the</strong> mainl<strong>and</strong><strong>and</strong> isl<strong>and</strong> coasts of Brazil, where <strong>the</strong>re were delimited straight baselines, areadopted Baseline St<strong>and</strong>ard, as indicated in <strong>the</strong> large scale charts published by<strong>the</strong> Board Hydrography <strong>and</strong> Navigation of <strong>the</strong> Navy of Brazil. Also according<strong>to</strong> its Article 4, <strong>the</strong> Straight <strong>and</strong> Normal Baselines should be used only as asource for <strong>the</strong> trace of <strong>the</strong> outer limits of <strong>the</strong> terri<strong>to</strong>rial sea, <strong>the</strong> contiguouszone, exclusive economic zone <strong>and</strong> continental shelf, whose concepts arespecified in <strong>the</strong> Act No 8.617/1993.Regarding <strong>the</strong> definition of internal waters, it can be found in <strong>the</strong> Federal Law9.966/2000 <strong>and</strong> at least two CONAMA Resolution (No. 344/2004 <strong>and</strong> No.392/2005). <strong>According</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong>se legal instruments, would be those waters:between <strong>the</strong> coast <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> line-of-base line, from which <strong>the</strong> terri<strong>to</strong>rial seais measured;waters of <strong>the</strong> ports;of <strong>the</strong> bays;<strong>the</strong> rivers <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir estuaries;of lakes, ponds <strong>and</strong> canals;of <strong>the</strong> isl<strong>and</strong>s; <strong>and</strong><strong>the</strong> waters from <strong>the</strong> shallows <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> discovery coast.Thus, in <strong>the</strong> case of <strong>the</strong> Port of San<strong>to</strong>s, both <strong>the</strong> port itself <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> disposalarea where oceanic sediments are disposed of dredging are located under <strong>the</strong>legal point of view, in internal waters. Therefore, it is possible <strong>to</strong> conclude that<strong>the</strong> licensing outside <strong>the</strong> organized port (which will be <strong>the</strong> temporary


warehouse managed <strong>and</strong> owned by a third party company <strong>and</strong> alsowarehouses III, VIII, XIII <strong>and</strong> XVIII purchased by ELDORADO) is <strong>the</strong> stateenvironmental agency (Cetesb) responsibility under <strong>the</strong> management ofManagement Port Authority (Codesp).In accordance with <strong>the</strong> provisions of federal <strong>and</strong> state environmentallegislation (mainly <strong>the</strong> CONAMA Resolution 237/1997 <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> State Decree47.400/2002) Cetesb sets out <strong>the</strong> developments <strong>and</strong> port activities <strong>to</strong> belicensed.The permanent areas of <strong>the</strong> organized port, warehouses IX <strong>to</strong> XII, are licensedunder Federal <strong>Environmental</strong> Agency (IBAMA).3.5 ENVIRONMENTAL LICENSING STATUSAparecida do Taboado - MSAs previously explained, ELDORADO acquired a parcel of l<strong>and</strong>, with 61.7hectares, which was part of a farm (Fazenda Boa Esperança) <strong>to</strong> build <strong>the</strong>multimodal terminal in Aparecida do Taboado, in Ma<strong>to</strong> Grosso do Sul state.Reportedly, <strong>the</strong> area in which <strong>the</strong> warehouses will be built is approximatelyfrom 7,000 <strong>to</strong> 8,000m². Therefore, ELDORADO has hired Poyry Silviconsult inorder <strong>to</strong> develop <strong>the</strong> Simplified <strong>Environmental</strong> Report-RAS required forissuance of Preliminary License. The study was developed <strong>and</strong> reportedlysubmitted <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> state environmental agency IMASUL. The study is beinganalyzed by IMASUL, in order <strong>to</strong> provide <strong>the</strong> preliminary license or requestfur<strong>the</strong>r clarifications/complements before issuing such license.Reportedly, <strong>the</strong> adjustments of <strong>the</strong> railway extension access <strong>and</strong> all licensingprocedures in Aparecida do Taboado, will be performed by ELDORADO. Thisincludes eventual vegetation suppression with its compensations. ALL(América Latina Logística) will be responsible <strong>to</strong> transport <strong>the</strong> pulp <strong>and</strong> paperfrom Aparecida do Taboado <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Port of San<strong>to</strong>s according contractagreement already signed with ELDORADO.Pederneiras - SPReportedly, a warehouse will be constructed by ELDORADO, withapproximately 6,000-m² covered area, in Pederneiras. ELDORADO has hiredEGTM Navegação (Torque) which already owns a multimodal terminal <strong>and</strong>will exp<strong>and</strong> its boundaries in o<strong>the</strong>r <strong>to</strong> meet <strong>the</strong> dem<strong>and</strong>.Regarding this company hired <strong>to</strong> work in logistics waterways of cellulose, itwas reported that <strong>the</strong> Service Agreement signed by <strong>the</strong> parties on December22, 2011 has an item referring that EGTM Navegação (Torque) agrees <strong>to</strong>observe <strong>and</strong> comply with environmental legislation, being responsible forfines <strong>and</strong> notices of violation of activities directly related <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> transportation


of cellulose, <strong>and</strong> is responsible for obtaining <strong>and</strong> maintaining any permits orlicenses required by public agencies, due <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> object of <strong>the</strong> contract.Therefore, ELDORADO declares that has no responsibility regarding permitsor licensing of <strong>the</strong> area.Reportedly, <strong>the</strong> adjustments of <strong>the</strong> railway extension access in Pederneiras,will be performed MRS LOGÍSTICA S.A. As reported, <strong>the</strong> licensingprocedures <strong>and</strong> eventual vegetation suppression with its compensations willbe managed by this company.San<strong>to</strong>s-SPThe port of San<strong>to</strong>s is a logistic complex, with countless facilities, with a shareof common use, under <strong>the</strong> management of <strong>the</strong> Port Administration - CODESP,<strong>and</strong> partly directed <strong>to</strong> cargo h<strong>and</strong>ling, directly operated by private entities,under leasing agreements. There are few private use terminals in <strong>the</strong>organized area of <strong>the</strong> port. These private companies have <strong>the</strong> useful domain of<strong>the</strong> area where <strong>the</strong>y are.The port is equipped with rail <strong>to</strong> rail transit <strong>and</strong> railroads that serve it, <strong>and</strong> hasplaces for s<strong>to</strong>rage of general cargo, including containers, dry <strong>and</strong> liquid bulk,<strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> entire complex is managed by CODESP <strong>and</strong> policed by port guard.<strong>According</strong> <strong>to</strong> information available on IBAMA’s website, CODESP is currentlygoing through a regularization process <strong>and</strong> has been granted with <strong>the</strong>Installation License nº 852/2011 on December 23, 2011.Reportedly, <strong>the</strong> railway <strong>to</strong> be used by <strong>the</strong> leased l<strong>and</strong> is property of MRSLOGÍSTICA S.A. <strong>According</strong> information provided during interview withELDORADO staff, in order <strong>to</strong> build <strong>the</strong> rail extension needed for wagonsmaneuver, approximately 1.5km, <strong>the</strong> state agency would require an expansionplan from MRS. The area is close <strong>to</strong> mangrove vegetation considered aspreservation area by <strong>the</strong> Brazilian <strong>Environmental</strong> Legislation (Forest Code).Therefore, it is possible that MRS be subjected <strong>to</strong> compensation plans for <strong>the</strong>suppression areas.The temporary warehouse, in which was established a service provisioncontract out of <strong>the</strong> organized port of San<strong>to</strong>s, is owned by Hipercon Terminaisde Cargas Ltda which currently has installation license according informationprovided on Cetesb’s website. ELDORADO has informed that <strong>the</strong> area will beoperated by this company which will be responsible for obtaining <strong>and</strong>maintaining environmental permits <strong>and</strong> licenses, as well as for complyingwith <strong>the</strong> environmental legislation. Reportedly, <strong>the</strong> area of warehouses III,VIII, XIII <strong>and</strong> XVIII, inside <strong>the</strong> previously mentioned Elmar Terminal, hasbeen purchased by ELDORADO from Rodrimar S/A TransportesEquipamen<strong>to</strong>s Industriais e Armazéns Gerais. Evidence has not beenprovided. Operating permits for warehouses III <strong>and</strong> VIII are currently under


Rodrimar’s name, according information on Cetesb’s website. Operatingpermit for warehouse III nº18001394 has been issued on 28/12/2009 <strong>and</strong> isvalid until 28/12/2013; operating permit for warehouse VIII nº 18001731 hasbeen issued on 03/10/2011 <strong>and</strong> is valid until 13/07/2014. No information hasbeen provided regarding changes in <strong>the</strong> corporate name of <strong>the</strong>se permits.Regarding <strong>the</strong> permanent warehouses IX <strong>to</strong> XII, ELDORADO has provided<strong>the</strong> Letter of introduction of <strong>the</strong> project of Port Terminal Eldorado Brazil /San<strong>to</strong>s-SP Portway submitted <strong>to</strong> IBAMA on 22/03/2011 showing that <strong>the</strong>following items were issued:Illustrative picture of terminal project (former sugar terminal);Plan of leased areas <strong>and</strong> planned <strong>to</strong> lease in <strong>the</strong> port of San<strong>to</strong>s;Plant- conceptual design - Terminal Eldorado; <strong>and</strong>Plant of <strong>the</strong> future passenger terminal in San<strong>to</strong>s/ SP.<strong>According</strong> <strong>to</strong> IBAMA’s website, Terminal Eldorado Brasil (regardingwarehouses IX <strong>to</strong> XII) is in <strong>the</strong> initial phase of licensing <strong>and</strong> has requestedterm of reference; however <strong>the</strong> area is still waiting for bidding from CODESP.

The type, scale, <strong>and</strong>location of <strong>the</strong> project guide <strong>the</strong> scope <strong>and</strong> level of effort devoted <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong>risks <strong>and</strong> impacts identification process. The scope of <strong>the</strong> risks <strong>and</strong>impacts identification process will be consistent with goodinternational industry practice, <strong>and</strong> will determine <strong>the</strong> appropriate <strong>and</strong>relevant methods <strong>and</strong> assessment <strong>to</strong>ols. The process may comprise afull-scale environmental <strong>and</strong> social impact assessment, a limited orfocused environmental <strong>and</strong> social assessment, or straightforwardapplication of environmental siting, pollution st<strong>and</strong>ards, designcriteria, or construction st<strong>and</strong>ards. When <strong>the</strong> project involves existingassets, environmental <strong>and</strong>/or social audits or risk/hazard assessmentscan be appropriate <strong>and</strong> sufficient <strong>to</strong> identify risks <strong>and</strong> impacts.

Moni<strong>to</strong>red parameters included particulates (inhalable particles <strong>and</strong><strong>to</strong>tal suspended particles), NO2, ozone, carbon monoxide <strong>and</strong> SO x . The areais considered homogeneous in what refers <strong>to</strong> air quality.The results indicated that <strong>the</strong> moni<strong>to</strong>red parameters meet <strong>the</strong> air qualityst<strong>and</strong>ards established in Brazilian regulations <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> WHO Ambient AirQuality Guidelines, except for Particulate Matter PM 10 , in July, 2011, whichexceeded <strong>the</strong> guideline value of 50 µg/m³ (24-hour average concentration of52.92µg/m³).The second report refers <strong>to</strong> a moni<strong>to</strong>ring campaign conducted in September2011. The results show that all <strong>the</strong> parameters comply with <strong>the</strong> Brazilianregulations <strong>and</strong> WHO Ambient Air Quality Guidelines, except for PM 10 ,which exceeded <strong>the</strong> Interim target 3 value of 75µg/m³ (24-hour averageconcentration of 87.95µG/m³).The PM 10 concentrations are apparently related <strong>to</strong> seasonal variations.

Newresettlement sites built for displaced persons must offer improvedliving conditions. The displaced persons’ preferences with respect <strong>to</strong>relocating in pre-existing communities <strong>and</strong> groups will be taken in<strong>to</strong>consideration. Existing social <strong>and</strong> cultural institutions of <strong>the</strong> displacedpersons <strong>and</strong> any host communities will be respected.21. In <strong>the</strong> case of physically displaced persons under paragraph 17 (i) or(ii), <strong>the</strong> client will offer <strong>the</strong> choice of replacement property of equal orhigher value, security of tenure, equivalent or better characteristics,<strong>and</strong> advantages of location or cash compensation where appropriate.Compensation in kind should be considered in lieu of cash.

The risks <strong>and</strong> impacts identification process as set out in PerformanceSt<strong>and</strong>ard 1 should consider direct <strong>and</strong> indirect project-related impactson biodiversity <strong>and</strong> ecosystem services <strong>and</strong> identify any significantresidual impacts. This process will consider relevant threats <strong>to</strong>biodiversity <strong>and</strong> ecosystem services, especially focusing on habitatloss, degradation <strong>and</strong> fragmentation, invasive alien species,overexploitation, hydrological changes, nutrient loading, <strong>and</strong>pollution. It will also take in<strong>to</strong> account <strong>the</strong> differing values attached <strong>to</strong>biodiversity <strong>and</strong> ecosystem services by Affected Communities <strong>and</strong>,where appropriate, o<strong>the</strong>r stakeholders. Where paragraphs 13–19 areapplicable, <strong>the</strong> client should consider project-related impacts across <strong>the</strong>potentially affected l<strong>and</strong>scape or seascape.7. As a matter of priority, <strong>the</strong> client should seek <strong>to</strong> avoid impacts onbiodiversity <strong>and</strong> ecosystem services. When avoidance of impacts is notpossible, measures <strong>to</strong> minimize impacts <strong>and</strong> res<strong>to</strong>re biodiversity <strong>and</strong>ecosystem services should be implemented. Given <strong>the</strong> complexity inpredicting project impacts on biodiversity <strong>and</strong> ecosystem services over<strong>the</strong> long term, <strong>the</strong> client should adopt a practice of adaptivemanagement in which <strong>the</strong> implementation of mitigation <strong>and</strong>management measures are responsive <strong>to</strong> changing conditions <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong>results of moni<strong>to</strong>ring throughout <strong>the</strong> project’s lifecycle.8. Where paragraphs 13–15 are applicable, <strong>the</strong> client will retaincompetent professionals <strong>to</strong> assist in conducting <strong>the</strong> risks <strong>and</strong> impactsidentification process.

Habitat is defined as a terrestrial, freshwater, or marine geographicalunit or airway that supports assemblages of living organisms <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong>irinteractions with <strong>the</strong> non-living environment. For <strong>the</strong> purposes ofimplementation of this Performance St<strong>and</strong>ard, habitats are dividedin<strong>to</strong> modified, natural, <strong>and</strong> critical.

For <strong>the</strong> protection <strong>and</strong> conservation of biodiversity, <strong>the</strong> mitigationhierarchy includes biodiversity offsets, which may be considered onlyafter appropriate avoidance, minimization, <strong>and</strong> res<strong>to</strong>ration measureshave been applied. A biodiversity offset should be designed <strong>and</strong>implemented <strong>to</strong> achieve measurable conservation outcomes that canreasonably be expected <strong>to</strong> result in no net loss <strong>and</strong> preferably a netgain of biodiversity; however, a net gain is required in critical habitats.The design of a biodiversity offset must adhere <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> “like-for-like orbetter” principle <strong>and</strong> must be carried out in alignment with bestavailable information <strong>and</strong> current practices. When a client isconsidering <strong>the</strong> development of an offset as part of <strong>the</strong> mitigationstrategy, external experts with knowledge in offset design <strong>and</strong>implementation must be involved.PS 6, paragraphs 6 <strong>and</strong> 7EHS Guidelines forForest HarvestingOperationsSee PS6, paragraphs 13-15PS 6, paragraph 9 <strong>and</strong> 10EHS Guidelines forForest HarvestingOperationsCompliance Status/ FindingsPARTIALLY COMPLIANT<strong>According</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> EIA, <strong>the</strong> studies conducted during <strong>the</strong> previous licenseshowed only <strong>the</strong> initial situation of <strong>the</strong> area of influence <strong>and</strong> allow only ageneral prediction of <strong>the</strong> impacts on biodiversity (related <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> change in <strong>the</strong>l<strong>and</strong> use, increase in <strong>the</strong> nuisance <strong>to</strong> native species <strong>and</strong> restrictions <strong>to</strong>resources usage).

The client will establish <strong>and</strong> maintain a process for identifying <strong>the</strong>environmental <strong>and</strong> social risks <strong>and</strong> impacts of <strong>the</strong> project (seeparagraph 18 for competency requirements). The type, scale, <strong>and</strong>location of <strong>the</strong> project guide <strong>the</strong> scope <strong>and</strong> level of effort devoted <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong>risks <strong>and</strong> impacts identification process. The scope of <strong>the</strong> risks <strong>and</strong>impacts identification process will be consistent with goodinternational industry practice, <strong>and</strong> will determine <strong>the</strong> appropriate <strong>and</strong>relevant methods <strong>and</strong> assessment <strong>to</strong>ols. The process may comprise afull-scale environmental <strong>and</strong> social impact assessment, a limited orfocused environmental <strong>and</strong> social assessment, or straightforwardapplication of environmental siting, pollution st<strong>and</strong>ards, designcriteria, or construction st<strong>and</strong>ards. When <strong>the</strong> project involves existingassets, environmental <strong>and</strong>/or social audits or risk/hazard assessmentscan be appropriate <strong>and</strong> sufficient <strong>to</strong> identify risks <strong>and</strong> impacts. If assets<strong>to</strong> be developed, acquired or financed have yet <strong>to</strong> be defined, <strong>the</strong>establishment of an environmental <strong>and</strong> social due diligence processwill identify risks <strong>and</strong> impacts at a point in <strong>the</strong> future when <strong>the</strong>physical elements, assets, <strong>and</strong> facilities are reasonably unders<strong>to</strong>od. Therisks <strong>and</strong> impacts identification process will be based on recentenvironmental <strong>and</strong> social baseline data at an appropriate level of detail.The process will consider all relevant environmental <strong>and</strong> social risks<strong>and</strong> impacts of <strong>the</strong> project, including <strong>the</strong> issues identified inPerformance St<strong>and</strong>ards 2 through 8, <strong>and</strong> those who are likely <strong>to</strong> beaffected by such risks <strong>and</strong> impacts. The risks <strong>and</strong> impacts identificationprocess will consider <strong>the</strong> emissions of greenhouse gases, <strong>the</strong> relevantrisks associated with a changing climate <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> adaptationopportunities, <strong>and</strong> potential transboundary effects, such as pollution ofair, or use or pollution of international waterways.8. Where <strong>the</strong> project involves specifically identified physical elements,aspects, <strong>and</strong> facilities that are likely <strong>to</strong> generate impacts, environmental<strong>and</strong> social risks <strong>and</strong> impacts will be identified in <strong>the</strong> context of <strong>the</strong>project’s area of influence. This area of influence encompasses, asappropriate: The area likely <strong>to</strong> be affected by: (i) <strong>the</strong> project <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> client’sactivities <strong>and</strong> facilities that are directly owned, operated ormanaged (including by contrac<strong>to</strong>rs) <strong>and</strong> that are a component of<strong>the</strong> project; (ii) impacts from unplanned but predictabledevelopments caused by <strong>the</strong> project that may occur later or at adifferent location; or (iii) indirect project impacts on biodiversity oron ecosystem services upon which Affected Communities’livelihoods are dependent. Associated facilities, which are facilities that are not funded as par<strong>to</strong>f <strong>the</strong> project <strong>and</strong> that would not have been constructed orexp<strong>and</strong>ed if <strong>the</strong> project did not exist <strong>and</strong> without which <strong>the</strong> projectwould not be viable.

Natural habitats are areas composed of viable assemblages of plant<strong>and</strong>/or animal species of largely native origin, <strong>and</strong>/or where humanactivity has not essentially modified an area’s primary ecologicalfunctions <strong>and</strong> species composition.14. The client will not significantly convert or degrade natural habitats,unless all of <strong>the</strong> following are demonstrated: No o<strong>the</strong>r viable alternatives within <strong>the</strong> region exist fordevelopment of <strong>the</strong> project on modified habitat; Consultation has established <strong>the</strong> views of stakeholders, includingAffected Communities, with respect <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> extent of conversion <strong>and</strong>degradation; <strong>and</strong> Any conversion or degradation is mitigated according <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong>mitigation hierarchy.15. In areas of natural habitat, mitigation measures will be designed <strong>to</strong>achieve no net loss of biodiversity where feasible. Appropriate actionsinclude: Avoiding impacts on biodiversity through <strong>the</strong> identification <strong>and</strong>protection of set-asides; Implementing measures <strong>to</strong> minimize habitat fragmentation, such asbiological corridors; Res<strong>to</strong>ring habitats during operations <strong>and</strong>/or after operations; <strong>and</strong> Implementing biodiversity offsets.Critical Habitat16.

This requirement is imposed by contract.ERM observed that some of <strong>the</strong> legal reserve areas are isolated <strong>and</strong>surrounded by forest plantation or are not connected with permanentprotected areas (PPA) around <strong>the</strong> riparian zones. This isolation may interferewith <strong>the</strong> ecological function of <strong>the</strong>se areas. However, this l<strong>and</strong> configurationwas mostly inherited from previous ownership.There are three main actions that ELDORADO could take in order <strong>to</strong>improve <strong>the</strong> management of natural resources:1 – Try, when possible, <strong>to</strong> connect <strong>the</strong> Legal Reserves with ProtectedPermanent Areas (PPAs) in order <strong>to</strong> enhance <strong>the</strong> ecological function of <strong>the</strong>seareas, provide habitat corridors <strong>and</strong> promote <strong>the</strong> conservation of rare,threatened or endangered species.2 – Implement a Native Forest Management System in isolated LegalReserves in order <strong>to</strong> enhance <strong>the</strong>ir ecological function when o<strong>the</strong>ralternatives are not possible (e.g. connection with PPAs)3 – Extend <strong>the</strong> PTEAS <strong>to</strong> cover every major intervention insideELDORADO’s properties.PS 6, paragraphs 8, 16, PARTIALLY COMPLIANT After <strong>the</strong> conclusion of <strong>the</strong> third study ELDORADO should consolidate <strong>the</strong>improvement actions <strong>to</strong> be performed in <strong>the</strong>se areas in a Biodiversity ActionENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT ELDORADO – APRIL, 2012

Intentional or accidental introduction of alien, or non-native, species offlora <strong>and</strong> fauna in<strong>to</strong> areas where <strong>the</strong>y are not normally found can be asignificant threat <strong>to</strong> biodiversity, since some alien species can becomeinvasive, spreading rapidly <strong>and</strong> out-competing native species.22. The client will not intentionally introduce any new alien species (notcurrently established in <strong>the</strong> country or region of <strong>the</strong> project) unless thisis carried out in accordance with <strong>the</strong> existing regula<strong>to</strong>ry framework forsuch introduction. Notwithst<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>the</strong> above, <strong>the</strong> client will notdeliberately introduce any alien species with a high risk of invasivebehavior regardless of whe<strong>the</strong>r such introductions are permitted under<strong>the</strong> existing regula<strong>to</strong>ry framework. All introductions of alien specieswill be subject <strong>to</strong> a risk assessment (as part of <strong>the</strong> client’senvironmental <strong>and</strong> social risks <strong>and</strong> impacts identification process) <strong>to</strong>determine <strong>the</strong> potential for invasive behavior. The client willimplement measures <strong>to</strong> avoid <strong>the</strong> potential for accidental orunintended introductions including <strong>the</strong> transportation of substrates<strong>and</strong> vec<strong>to</strong>rs (such as soil, ballast, <strong>and</strong> plant materials) that may harboralien species.23. Where alien species are already established in <strong>the</strong> country or region of<strong>the</strong> proposed project, <strong>the</strong> client will exercise diligence in not spreading<strong>the</strong>m in<strong>to</strong> areas in which <strong>the</strong>y have not already been established. Aspracticable, <strong>the</strong> client should take measures <strong>to</strong> eradicate such speciesfrom <strong>the</strong> natural habitats over which <strong>the</strong>y have management control.Management of Ecosystem Services24. Where a project is likely <strong>to</strong> adversely impact ecosystem services, asdetermined by <strong>the</strong> risks <strong>and</strong> impacts identification process, <strong>the</strong> clientwill conduct a systematic review <strong>to</strong> identify priority ecosystemservices. Priority ecosystem services are two-fold: (i) those services onwhich project operations are most likely <strong>to</strong> have an impact <strong>and</strong>,<strong>the</strong>refore, which result in adverse impacts <strong>to</strong> Affected Communities;<strong>and</strong>/or (ii) those services on which <strong>the</strong> project is directly dependent forits operations (e.g., water). When Affected Communities are likely <strong>to</strong>be impacted, <strong>the</strong>y should participate in <strong>the</strong> determination of priorityecosystem services in accordance with <strong>the</strong> stakeholder engagementprocess as defined in Performance St<strong>and</strong>ard 1.25. With respect <strong>to</strong> impacts on priority ecosystem services of relevance <strong>to</strong>Affected Communities <strong>and</strong> where <strong>the</strong> client has direct managementcontrol or significant influence over such ecosystem services, adverseimpacts should be avoided.

The process is designed <strong>to</strong> minimize <strong>the</strong> transport by trucks, thus allowing <strong>the</strong> reduction offossil fuel use.When fully operational, <strong>the</strong> use of au<strong>to</strong>mated pulp loading <strong>and</strong> unloading will also minimize <strong>the</strong>use of fossil fuel.ELDORADO has not yet estimated <strong>the</strong> carbon dioxide emission equivalents for <strong>the</strong> project. Asinformed, this estimate is currently being developed, in spite of not being required by <strong>the</strong> Brazilianregulations.The logistics operations are not associated with high water consumption. The main water use willbe associated with human consumption. <strong>According</strong> <strong>to</strong> information provided by ELDORADO, nomaintenance activities will be performed in <strong>the</strong> terminals.In <strong>the</strong> port of San<strong>to</strong>s terminals, water is supplied by CODESP, which has two distribution systems:drinking water <strong>and</strong> reuse water. CODESP is supposed <strong>to</strong> deliver water <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> consumers complyingwith <strong>the</strong> drinking water st<strong>and</strong>ards established by Brazilian regulations. However, ELDORADO isresponsible for preventing water contamination inside its installations.In Aparecida do Taboado a deep well will reportedly be installed <strong>to</strong> supply water for domestic use.No details on <strong>the</strong> water distribution system are still available. Water quality in Pederneiras will beresponsibility of EGTM – Torque <strong>and</strong> in Aparecida do Taboado of ELDORADO.Reportedly, <strong>the</strong> installation of <strong>the</strong> terminals by ELDORADO will not include construction <strong>and</strong>maintenance dredging. Therefore, no dredging planning, execution or disposal of dredged materialis applicable.Air emissions associated with <strong>the</strong> logistics operations will be restricted <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> burning of fossil fuelin vehicles. Reportedly, no o<strong>the</strong>r sources will be present on <strong>the</strong> terminals such as combustionsources (boilers, kilns) or h<strong>and</strong>ling of hazardous materials that could be associated with VOCemissions. In addition, ELDORADO operations will not be associated with fugitive emissions.As reported, no maintenance activities will be conducted in <strong>the</strong> terminals operated by ELDORADOor delegated <strong>to</strong> third party companies in San<strong>to</strong>s <strong>and</strong> Pederneiras. A maintenance workshop will bereportedly be constructed in Aparecida do Taboado. Sanitary effluents will be generated in allterminals. In San<strong>to</strong>s, CODESP is responsible for wastewater collection <strong>and</strong> treatment. ELDORADOwill reportedly not receive wastewater from ships, given that <strong>the</strong>re are international regulationsgoverning this issue (Marpol).In <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r terminals, no details are available yet. Sanitary wastewater treatment, if required, willbe responsibility of EGTM-Torque in Pederneiras <strong>and</strong> ELDORADO in Aparecida do Taboado. Asfor maintenance effluent, ERM was informed that an oil/water separa<strong>to</strong>r will be installed inAparecida do Taboado.<strong>According</strong> <strong>to</strong> information provided by ELDORADO, no hazardous materials will be h<strong>and</strong>led in <strong>the</strong>terminals.
