2.3 Assessment Methodology The certification assessment was conducted between June 24 – 29, 2013 as per the assessment program be-low. The assessment was carried out in accordance with TUV Rheinland Malaysia’s RSPO audit procedure as well as the RSPO Certification Systems document. During assessment, the qualified TUV Rheinland assessors used the RSPO standard as endorsed for the country in which the assessment took place and recorded their findings. Due to the location and proximity of the estates, combined with common management systems, it was possible to carry out both field and document assessments of all estates and the mill within the time frame without com-promising the integrity of the assessment in anyway. All 3 estates and 1 mill were visited and the assessment team carried out field and document assessments of compliance to all the RSPO principles and criteria. Common systems were identified and specific evidence was recorded for individual estates. Interviews were conducted at all estates and the mill. The company proposed the correction and corrective action for all identified non conformities raised to the certi-fication body before 30 days after the closing meeting. Verification of implementation of corrective actions for minor non-conformities will be verified during the next suriveillance audit. The certification assessment agenda is as explained below.

Management review discussed about: - The effectivity of procedure’s and work instructions to ensure that is applicable or need revision; - Internal audit to ensure the systems are well - Follow up for domestic waste management, hazardous handling management, clean water, erossion

in the riparian, greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation, and availability of PPE for all warkers. The records of operational results are well maintained in each estate and mill on monthly report was in-clude all activity in the mill and estate, example is: 1. Records of receiving FFB with the form receipt dated on May 14, 2013 on 10:12 AM from Puhus 1 es-

tate Division 3, Block E39 and E40 with FFB total is 796 FFB, and nett weight is 10,170 kg. 2. Record of FFB grading, and sighted sample form record dated on May 14, 2013 from Division 3,

Block E38 and E39 for total FFB of 581, and examples taken is 100 FFB, when the grading was con-duct on 10:16 AM. The result of grading is 160 FFB was found not meeting the mill’s requirements.

3. Records of CPO dispatch with form number FM-PRO-01-R01 serial number 066040 on May 14, 2013 on 00:00 AM send to Mill 1 of PT DSN from Mill 2 as much 11,260 kg CPO.

Others evidence of implementation of work instructions was sighted, for example: 1. Work instruction for Management of Pests and Disease as per document no. IK-AGR-OLP-14-R00

dated 3 May 2010 which states that chemical treatment of bagworms is only required if 10 or more bagworms are found per frond on a tree, and for termites, chemical treatment is required an a block if 4 or more trees are found infected with termites. Sighted from pest census records that bagworms at-tacks have been less than 10 per frond, so no chemicals have been applied, whereas termite attacks have been high at Puhus 2 estate and part of Puhus 1 estate and termicides are only applied are are-as where it was found that 4 trees or more are infected

2. Work instruction for manuring of mature and immature plantings, IK-SOP-OLP-09-R01 dated 1 Feb-ruary 2012, states that empty fertilizer bags are to be returned to the estate workshop and recorded. Sample records of empty fertilizer bags returned to Puhus 1 estate were sighted for March, May and June 2013. There is a store for collection of used fertilizer bags at Puhus 2 estate.

3. The estates carry out EFB application in accordance with their work instruction IK-AGR-OLP-11-R00 which states that EFB shall be applied in one layer

However there was found evidence of work instructions not properly implemented, for example: 1. Evidence was found that harvesting and collection quality inspections are not performed appropriate-

ly, as it was found that harvesting quality checking records for harvesting area row 11 Puhus 2 Estate showed that loose fruits were sighted at only 1 tree, but during field observation it was found in actual there there 3 trees with loose fruits in row 3.

2. Work instruction IK-AGR-OLP-02-R01 regarding oil palm plantation nursery management includes several forms, e.g. for seed selection, monitoring of saplings, etc, but the estates were unable to show records of implementation of the forms listed in the work instruction.

This is raised as a non-conformity NCR 2013 – 01 of 06 There was found evidence of work instructions not properly implemented, for example: 1. Evidence was found that harvesting and collection quality inspections are not performed appropriate-

ly, as it was found that harvesting quality checking records for harvesting area row 11 Puhus 2 Estate showed that loose fruits were sighted at only 1 tree, but during field observation it was found in actual there there 3 trees with loose fruits in row 3.

2. Work instruction IK-AGR-OLP-02-R01 regarding oil palm plantation nursery management includes several forms, e.g. for seed selection, monitoring of saplings, etc, but the estates were unable to show records of implementation of the forms listed in the work instruction.

2. EFB application in Block F23 Puhus 1 Estate with the application program is 35 Ha, was applied the EFB for 10 Ha from the program, with the dosage is 225 kg/tree.

Based on all record, the estates maintain soil fertility through fertilizer applications as well as land application of EFB, and the company has specific working instructions for EFB application, which is IK-AGR-OLP-11-R00 EFB application. The implementation of EFB application was sighted consistetnly at Block F23 above. The estate has a system to monitor whether actual fertilizer applications meet recommended fertilizer applications. The estates carry out EFB application in accordance with their work instruction IK-AGR-OLP-11-R00 which states that EFB shall be applied in one layer. Puhus 1 estate has records of EFB application train-ing for harvesters and field workers on16, 17, 18, 19, 22, 23, 24, and 26 April. Compliance status: Full Compliance

Criterion 4.3: Practices minimise and control erosion and degradation of soils.

Findings: The company has a detailed soil map showing gradients and all soil types within all estates conducted exetrnal consultant, last soil survey was conducted on 2011. According to the soil survey result there are 3 soil types in PT Dharma Agrotaman Nusantara i.e. Ultisol type, Entisol Type and Spodosol Type. Based on the soil type, the location of the company not a fragile soil type, and the topography condition of land is flat. Accordance to the soil map and topography map, PT Dharma Agrotama Nusantara has a program for erosion prevention, with a plan for protection of river riparian buffer zones along natural streams and natu-ral spring through felling of oil palm trees adjacent to these natural streams and replanting the buffer zone areas with hardwood tree and “vertiver grass” a long of the river. The company has no-chemical-application-as strategy for the protection the river and natural springs from the pollution. Based on field trip in Block G50, G49 and F51 Division 7 Puhus 2 estate, the company has made improvements in the ri-parian zone and natural spring with vertiver grass cultivation and no chemical application on the location. The company has a road maintenance program with evidence is map of road planned for road main-tainance in 2013. For example: 1.

2. For Puhus 1 Estate, Division I, total length of road planned for maintenance is 16,874 m of main roads, and 33,791 m of collection roads. Based on records of information of grading and compaction maps for year 2013, the company has split their road maintenance program into two rotation. In rota-tion 1 the company has carried out maintenance for 6,535 m of transportation road and 28,771 m for collection road, and in rotation 2, the company carried out maintenance for 3,282 m for transportation roads and 19,508m of collection roads.

Also according to the soil map, in the location of the company there is no peat soil or fragile soil, so the company focus on maintain in buffer zone in the river and natural spring. . Compliance status: Full compliance

Criterion 4.4: Practices maintain the quality and availability of surface and ground water.

Findings: The company has identified all streams that flow inside of estate area and created a riparian buffer zone and spring buffer zone management programme. There are 3 rivers in the area of PT Dharma Agrotama Nusantara plantation, i.e. Kenden Besar River, Kenden Kecil River and Telen River, width of rivers ranges from 4 to 10 meters. The company has a plan for protection of river riparian buffer zones along natural streams and protection for spring well through felling of oil palm trees adjacent to these natural streams and replanting the buffer zone areas with hardwood trees and vertiver grass such as at Kenden river and Puhus river riparian buffer zone, in order increase the retention time of canal water potentially contami-nated with chemicals or surface run-off into main streams. Other plans such as cleaning river of the fallen timber and other debris to make smooth waterflow. The company has implemented their plan, for cleaning river from timber, vertiver grass planting, wall erossion, fencing arround the springs and also build the signboard information for riparian and spring protection are available. The company also made an SOP for protection of riparian buffer zones of watercourses and wetlands, including maintaining and restoring appropriate riparian buffer zones, prohibition of agrochemical application activities nearby rivers or water-courses IK-AGR-STD-02-R01 and also internal memorandum number 005/MEMO/EH-PU2/2012 and 010/DAN-PU3/XIII/2012 about no chemical application in along of riparian zone, water streams, and spring well. An implemented water management plan can be seen. The company has developed and implemented a documented water management plan. For supplying water at the housing area, company already develop water treatment in all their estate from the natural springs water to produce clean water for daily consump-tion due to water quality for daily consumption. For this, the company has conduct the water analysis for water consumption based on regulation Ministry of Health Number 416/Menkes/IX/1990, with the certifi-cate result analysis number 60177/CCEKAF on December 31, 2012 the result showed that the water con-dition is good for consumption through cooked. Based on field observation female sprayers/manurers interviewed at Puhus 2 estate confirmed that they are not allowed to spray at the river and the trees at the river banks are marked with red paint to indicate trees which they are now allowed to spray. They carry out manuring by digging soil and burying the ferti-lizer instead of the normal practice of applying fertilizer in a circle around the tree. For maintain the water quality, the company also conduct the water quality analysis for river water based on evidence:

1. Water quality analysis certificate number 03833/BCEKAG on January 31, 2013 with sample is from Kenden Besar River Upstream and Kenden Kecil River Downstream, based on Government Regulaiton Number 82/2001. From all the paramater analyzed, there are several parameters that exceeded the quality standard i.e.: - TSS (total suspended solid) 116 mg/l for Kenden Besar River Upstream and 85 mg/l for

Kenden Kecil River Downstream, while the standard is 50 mg/l - pH for Kenden Besar River Upstream is 5.04 and for Kenden Kecil River Downstream 4.99,

while the standard is 6 – 9 - BOD (biological oxygent demand) 3.72 mg/l for Kenden Besar River Upstream and 4.34 mg/l

for Kenden Kecil River Downstream, while the standard 3 mg/l - COD (chemical oxygent demand) 27 mg/l for Kenden Besar River Upstream and 28 mg/l for

Kenden Kecil River Downstream, while the standard is 25 mg/l 2. Water quality analysis certificate number 03833/BCEKG on January 31, 2013 with the sample is

The company also has Integrated Pest Management Program for year 2013 for all estates, with comparison of pest management status in year 2012 and 2013, which states that there was low to medium rates of bagworm attacks at all estates, some attacks of termites at Puhus 1 and Puhus 2 estates, and Ganoderma attack at one tree in Puhus 2 estate. There is evidence of implementation of IPM techniques in the field, e.g. at Puhus 1 estate there was sighted a planting of beneficial plants Antigonon leptopus and Turnera subulata all along the estate roads, planted to attract natural predators of leaf eating pests. At Puhus 1 estate there are 5 barn owl boxes in-stalled and 6 boxes installed at Puhus 2 as a trial, but none of the boxes are occupied with barn owls due to lack of rat pests. Since April 2013 the company is testing the use of termite traps made of recycled cardboard rolled into a tube to attract and trap termites, and if effective this method will help to reduce us-age of termicides. The company has a planting program for beneficial plant in 2013 until May, such as “Turnera ulmifolia, Antigonon leptopus and Casia tora. Beneficial plant i.e Turnera ulmifolia, Antigonon leptopus and Casia tora based on observation in field and documentation, planting is carried out daily at blocks/area that have not been planted, i.e.: 1. Puhus 1 Estate’s work program for beneficial plan planting is for 5.22 Ha, and area already planted is

4.022 Ha with the beneficial plant species, Turnera ulmifolia, Antigonon leptopus, example in: - Work program for Division 1, is 1.77 Ha, and 1.02 Ha of Turnera ulmifolia and Antigonon leptopus

has already been planted - Work program for Division 4, is 1.26 Ha, and was realized 1.23 Ha of Turnera ulmifolia has al-

ready been planted 2. Puhus 2 Estate’s work program for beneficial plan planting is for 4.65 Ha, and area already planted is

4.38 Ha with the beneficial plant species Turnera ulmifolia, Antigonon leptopus and Casia tora, exam-ple in: - Work program for Division 6, is 0.96 Ha, and 0.96 Ha of Turnera ulmifolia and Antigonon leptopus

has already been planted - Work program for Division 7, 1.2 Ha, and 1.2 Ha of Turnera ulmifolia, Antigonon leptopus and

Casia tora has already been planted 3. Puhus 3 Estate’s work program for beneficial plan planting is for 4.05 Ha, and area already planted is

4.38 Ha with the beneficial plant species is Turnera ulmifolia, Turnera subulata and Casia tora, exam-ple in: - Work program for Division 10, is 1.68 Ha, and 1.44 of Turnera subulata and Casia tora has al-

ready been planted - Work program for Division 11, is 0.96 Ha, and 0.81 Ha of Turnera subulata, and Turnera ulmifolia

has already been planted Based on the work instruction “Instruksi Kerja” IK-AGR-OLP-14-R00 to monitor levels of pest infestations, the company conducts census on a sampled area as an early warning system. The SOP includes instruc-tions for: 1. Hand picking larva and cocoon 2. Spraying leaves with pesticide 3. Stem injection with pesticide 4. Root infusion with pesticide 5. Conservation and exploitation of natural enemies as a source of biopesticide Pest monitoring/detection and IPM activities commenced in January for year 2012. Monitoring is planned to be conducted for all blocks in the estates. Based on the recapitulation of Early Warning System (EWS) there are low rates of pest attacks, example in Division 4 on February period 2012 average of the attack is

1.60 caterpillars per frond , on March period 2012 average attack is 1.33 caterpillars per frond and for April period 2012 average attack is 1.22 caterpillars per frond . But on January based on recapitulation of EWS for bagworms in Block C30 Division 1, Puhus 1 Estate there was medium rates of attack when the result of EWS is 2.62% caterpillars per frond . Based the EWS result the company followed through with hand picking activity conducted on February 2013 in the same block, with the record is: - 96 caterpillars were picked on February 9, 2013 - 74 caterpillars were picked on February 14, 2013 - 86 caterpillars were picked on February 18, 2013 - 61 caterpillars were picked on February 19, 2013 - 76 caterpillars were picked on February 21, 2013 - 43 caterpillars were picked on February 28, 2013 Others records of pest detection are maintained in excel sheets. For bagworms, census is conducted once a month for all blocks and monthly records state no. of live and dead worms found, and size and amount of worms per frond. Sighted from records of Puhus 1 and 2 estates, attack rates for throughout year 2012 and until May 2013 were less than 10 worms per frond (highest being only 5 per frond) which is considered low and only requires management by hand picking. There have been no chemical treatment for bagworms. Records of census of rats are also maintained and show low rates of attacks. There are records of high termite attack rates in year 2012 & 2013 at some areas, e.g. in April and June 2012 for Puhus 1 estate and from February to November 2012 to January - April 2013 for Puhus 2 estate, there were blocks with between 4 to up to 137 trees per ha found with termites. According to the company's work instruction, areas with termites attack above 4 trees per ha are to be treated with termicides, and there are records that these areas were treated with Termiban during those months. IPM training was conducted for all estate supervisors and pest conductors in Puhus 1, Puhus 2 and Pu-hus 3 estate. Trained by “Sygenta” the supplier of chemical collaboration with the Commission of Pes-tiside on September 5, 2012 and was attended by 64 persons with evidence in the form of attendance lists, training materials, and photograph. Others example in Puhus 1 estate monitors pesticide toxicity units for all chemicals applied in year 2012 and 2013 in toxicity per ha and toxicity units per tonne of FFB. For example for the herbicide, Agristik with active ingredients 0.4g/L alkylaryl polyglycol ether, average toxicity units per ha and per tonne FFB ap-plied in year 2012 was 0.08 and 0.04 respectively, based on 602.6 litres applied over 3009 ha. Records shows only pesticides used in Puhus 1 estate was 5 kg of rat bait (Klerat) in February 2013, and Termiban used was 1 litre in April and 6 litres in June, due to high rates of termites attack during these months as sighted from census records. Compliance status: Full Compliance

Criterion 4.6: Agrochemicals are used in a way that does not endanger health or the environment. There is no prophylactic use of pesticides, except in specific situations identified in national Best Practice guidelines. Where agrochemicals are used that are categorised as World Health Organisation Type 1A or 1B, or are listed by the Stockholm or Rotterdam Conventions, growers are actively seeking to identify alternatives, and this is documented.

Findings: The company have used the registered chemical based on Book of Pestiside of Agriculture issued by Min-istry of Agriculture 2011. The company also has recommendation chemical used from Head of Labour and Transmigration related to the chemical used in work place, based on reporting chemical letter number 004/P2K3-DAN/I/2013 on January 10, 2013 and number 009/P2K3-DAN/IV/2013 on April 30, 2013. The company monitors and records pesticide usage from 2010, 2011 and 2012 for the pesticides of Al-kylaryl polyglycol ether, methyl Metasulfuron, brodifacoum, Chlorpyrifos. In year 2010 chemical usege is 0.2076 gram/ton FFB, in year 2011 chemical usage is 0.1378 gram/ton FFB and in year 2012 chemical usage is 0.0658 gram/ton FFB. For Paraquat dicloride the company does not appliy this chemical any-more based on evidence of management commitment through internal correspondence from Region Head of East Kalimantan 1 and 2, addressed to all Head of Estate number 0091/OPS/XI/2012 on Novem-ber 30, 2012 the content is about:

Field workers are provided with appropriate PPE by the company. Sprayers PPE consist of full body plas-tic suits, boots, goggles, cloth masks and rubber gloves while harvesters are provided with safety helmets, boots, cloth gloves and goggles. Sprayers and harvesting mandors at Puhus 1 estate were sighted to have first aid kits with them on site. The kits are completed with cotton, gauze, iodine, scissors, and eye drops. A sprayer mandore (foreman) and harvesting mandore interviewed on-site at Puhus 1 estate has first aid kits available on site and records of first aid training for the mandores done on 21 October 2012 (for the sprayer mandore and 47 other staff) and 26 May 2012 (for both mandores and 12 other staff). There is al-so evidence of evaluation of training effectiveness for both mandores and other staff that underwent train-ing. First aid trainings are done at group level and include mandores and staff from Puhus 2 and 3 as well Maps of OHS and first Aid equipment available and check implementation Regular check for boiler operators is available covering Audiometric test, and Cholinesterase level test for Operator Boiler, operator Engine Room, Operator Steam Vessel periodically once a year. Risk assessment was conducted to identify any potential risk and documented Health Identification, Risk Assessment and Risk Control (HIRARC), FM-SHE-01-R00, updated in 01 February 2013, cover all job type in Plantation and POM. Example for regularly checkup i.e.: audiometric tests for workers working at noisy work areas and operators of heavy equipment, conducted on 25 April 2013 for 19 workers from Pu-hus 1 estate, 14 workers from Puhus 2 estate and 9 workers at Puhus 3 estate. All workers were found to be in normal health except for two workers, a grass cutter operator and genset operator from Puhus 3 es-tate found to have some hearing abnormalities. The estate manager has taken immediate action as sight-ed in letters dated 25 May 2013 requesting transfer of the workers to other work in quiet areas. Evidence sighted for the grass cutter operator is letter dated 22 June 2013, stating that he was transferred to oil trap management and cleaning, and it is documented in daily work reports that the genset operator was since transferred to carry out harvesting work. The mill also carried out audiometric tests for workers. Based on audiometric test done on 20 April 2012 found a wheel loader operator with significant hearing loss (condition since birth) and several workers with slight hearing loss. There is evidence that the mill management transferred the workers to an area of low noise, for example letter of transfer for two workers transferred to loading ramp, and one boiler operator transferred to kernel bagging from 1st April 2013 with evidence work done at their new positions sighted from pay-slips. First Aid basic training has been given to workers at the estates and mill, the training was provided by the company’s doctor and representative from Manpower officer on May 23th, 2013.

The training schedule is based on the results of competency gaps in accordance with worker’s position and competence. The mill and estates also have additional SOP-AGR-016-R00 regarding training which states that workers are to be evaluated periodically by their superiors to identify gaps in training needs. All workers with identi-fied training needs are listed and approved by the mill or estate manager to be submitted to the head of-fice, and based on this a training programme for workers is developed. For example, completed gap com-petency form was sighted and training programme for year 2013 for 77 mill staff identified to require train-ing was sighted. For estates, sample completed gap competency form dated 15 September 2012 was sighted for Puhus 1 estate which listed 29 staff requiring training, while for Puhus 2 estate, 10 staff were identified requiring training in various aspects such as Environment and OSH, store administration, data filing and archiving and water management. Results of competency gap evaluations for each estates was used to develop the training program for year 2013 which is planned at group level for office and field staff. Puhus 1 estate also has an annual training program for field workers (harvesters, sprayers, etc). There is also evidence of evaluation of training effectiveness, e.g. for 4 staff at Puhus 1 estate which at-tended first aid training on 25 September 2012. The annual training schedule of year 2013 in PT DSN POM for level 3-down personnel (mandores) in-cludes warehouse administration training, human resources administration training, maintenance A2B & utility, OHS & environmental training, first aid basic training, electric basic training, Windows & MS office training, function of monitoring training, management project technique training, water treatment training, waste control process training, IT and preventive mantainance hardware training, welder training, mainte-nance AC training, operating sterilizer training, SIO certification, etc. Estimate of quantity of participant is 110 persons.

Certificate of Occupational Safety and Health Engineering of Technical Training dated 18 July 2012

for farm tractor operator at Puhus 1 estate. A copy of the tractor operator license no. 12 4452-OPK3-PAA/VII/2012 was sighted but the operator interviewed on-site stated that he had yet to receive a copy of the license. This was raised as an observation

2. Records of first aid training done for workers at Puhus 1 division IIIA workers with 48 participants (mainly harvesters)

3. Puhus 1 estate has records of EFB application training for harvesters and field workers on 16, 17, 18, 19, 22, 23, 24, and 26 April.

The mill only uses contractors for CPO and EFB transport and evaluates contractors using a standard se-lection form where criteria for selection includes years of experience, work references, license for work conducted ('Surat Ijin Usaha' or SIU) and competent personnel. Contractors with evaluation score above 7 of 10 can be selected by the company. Sample completed selection forms for contractors at Puhus 1 es-tate were sighted, e.g.: 1) Contractor for FFB transport, selection form dated 2 January 2013 and evaluation score of 7.9 2) Contractor for dump truck rental and EFB transport, selection form dated 2 January 2013 and evalua-tion score of 7.7 Contractors engaged to carry out work for the company are also evaluated once every 6 months to de-termine effectiveness of work as sighted from evaluation forms from two contractors engaged for FFB transport. Compliance status: Full Compliance

Criterion 5.1: Aspects of plantation and mill management, including replanting, that have envi-ronmental impacts are identified, and plans to mitigate the negative impacts and promote the pos-itive ones are made, implemented and monitored, to demonstrate continuous improvement.

Findings: PT Dharma Agrotama Nusantara has a documented Social and Environmental Impacts Assessment pre-pared by consultant Agriculture Polytechnic of Samarinda State, by four qualified team members. The AMDAL was approved by the AMDAL Commission of Kutim Region on 23 October 2009, as per decision letter no. 188.4.45/674/HK/X/2009 regarding Approval of Environmental Activities related to Development of Plantation and Mill with processing capacity of 60 tonnes per hour and area of ±10000ha. The AMDAL includes the environmental management and monitoring plan (RPL/RKL) to be implemented by the com-pany. For PT DAN, the plan covers aspects ranging from regular testing of workers health, testing of river water quality, monitoring soil erosion and soil fertility, monitoring of planted area, management of disturb-ances to HCV and conservation areas, gauging of community's perception and health, enhancing facilities and work opportunities for communities, and testing of ambient air quality, noise and smell.

PT Dharma Satya Nusantara mill has a separate document on management and monitoring efforts (UPL/UKL) document prepared and approved by the Environmental Department of East Kutai region for mill capacity of 60 tonnes/ hour based on approval letter no. 332/660.1/2.1.LH/III/2009. The management and monitoring efforts covers plans to manage and monitor pollutants and emissions, including solid wastes (e.g. scrap metal, used batteries, EFB, fibre, shell), liquid waste (condensate, oil), gas (smoke), noise, vibration and ash, and other aspects such monitoring accidents, work vacancies, social conflicts, OSH. The plantation and mill carries out report on implementation of their RPL/RKL and UPL/UKL respectively, i.e last implementation report were prepared for Semester II (July - December 2012) and Semester I (January - June 2012). In the estates implementation report, all aspects required to be reported were in-cluded in the report. It was stated in the last report for Semester II that it was found that river downstream BOD of 9.47mg/l was slightly higher than the upstream BOD of 8.91mg/l, which is higher than the legal requirement of 3 mg/l. However, since the results show the river BOD already exceeded the legal re-quirement, it can be said that the pollution was not significantly caused by the mill. The mill includes report of analysis of parameters required in their UPL/UKL, including wastewater quality, genset and boiler emissions, ambient air, water biota testing, noise, etc. However, some parameters are not tested in accordance with the required frequency as stated in the UPL/UKL, e.g. for noise, vibration, boiler emissions and genset emissions are required in the UPL/UKL to be tested once every 3 months, but testing is only done once every 6 months. And some aspects required to be included in the report have not been included, e.g. report on job opportunities, occurences of road accidents and monitoring of road conditions, usage of PPE, medical checks and frequency of occupational accidents. This was raised as a nonconformity. There has been no revision to the environmental management document due to no change in companies operating area or activities. NCR 2013 – 03 of 06 Some parameters are not tested in accordance with the required frequency as stated in the mill’s UPL/UKL, e.g. for noise, vibration, boiler emissions and genset emissions are required in the UPL/UKL to be tested once every 3 months, but testing is only done once every 6 months. And some aspects re-quired to be included in the report have not been included, e.g. report on job opportunities, occurences of road accidents and monitoring of road conditions, usage of PPE, medical checks and frequency of occupational accidents. Compliance status: Non-compliance

Criterion 5.2: The status of rare, threatened or endangered species (ERTs) and high conservation value habitats, if any, that exist in the plantation or that could be affected by plantation or mill management, shall be identified and their conservation taken into account in management plans and operations.

Findings: PT Dharma Agrotama Nusantara (Dharma Satya Group) has conducted an assessment and identification of protected, rare and endangered species and HCV habitats within their area. An identification of flora and fauna has been carried out by a consultant, Daemeter Consulting in year 2012. The results of these assessments are documented in PT DAN’s HCV assessment report.

3.7 Issues Raised by Stakeholders and Findings Pertaining to Issues

A) Issues Raised during Stakeholder Consultation Meeting

No. Issues Raised Management Response Audit

Verification

1. CSR is the best from PT Swakarsa for Muara Wahau District, evidence is that the company responds quickly to community requests especially in terms of partnership with the commu-nity, procurement of infrastructure of agriculture, cooperative development. But there are still weaknesses i.e.: development for smallholder because the process from the government is too slow due to lack of land available for smallholders use. In addition, there have been also environmental impact such waste water from com-pany’s activities. The community had experienced floods previously when the land was owned by the logging company.

Related to estate and smallholder relationship, there are: a. There are several types of

smallholders with relationship with the company. One type of smallholders is fully managed by the company. For this type, all smallholder land activities from development, land clear-ing, planting until harvesting is conducted by the company, with profit sharing systems.

b. Another smallholder system is called “Saprodi”. For this type, the company just only pro-vides the seed, land, road and cultivation. For the main-tainance activities such as spraying, fertilizer application and others is under small-holder resposibility. And for this type the smallholder’s participation is needed.

c. For environmental impact from waste water, the compa-ny has waste water installation (IPAL) this system accord-ance to Indonesia regulation so environmental impact from waste water was minimal

Management re-sponse regarding smallholders pro-gram is accepted. The comment relat-ing to smallholders is not related to PT DSN Mill 2 as they have no smallhold-ers supply to the mill. In addition, during the audit time, the auditor did not find evidence to see that any flood or waste water prob-lem occure from company’s activi-ties.

2. The existence of the company helps the community a lot in delivering their FFB to the company

The company’s smallholder pro-gram has had s postive impact to local communities such as in-crease to the local community profit

4. Please explain the negative impacts of palm oil mill waste, because I do not understand. The existence of company has brought benefits to the community, because the PT Swakarsa has good commitmen to develop the local community. Many the local children has been schooled by the company through the company foundation. With regards to economic develop-ment the company has commitment to develop local cooperative and the result is good because the local co-operative now has good progress.

The company has provided awareness talks about the waste management to some traditional leaders of Dusun Jabdan Village, Dusun Long Bau Village, and De-sa Muara Wahau Village and also the company has invited them to come to see the land application process and these talks will be continued at other villages. Regarding educational programs, DSN Group has contributed on education foundation from the el-ementary school until university, i.e.: Agriculture professional foun-dation in collaboration with Agricul-ture Institute. Regarding economic management of local communities, the company has good commitment to develop local community through the co-operative program and so far this progam has been successful. And also the company uses local con-tractors to provide the infrastruc-ture.
