Executive Summary

Need for the Angola LNGProject

The decision of the AngolanGovernment to enact a policy toeliminate all flaring by the end of2006, coupled with the commitmentsof the Project Participants to certainenvironmental and social responsibil-ities and responsible custodianship ofhydrocarbon resources, resulted inthe need for a solution for the man-agement of gas from oil and gas pro-duction offshore Angola.

In response to the policy to eliminateflaring and project participant com-mitments, a series of proposals forsolutions for the management of gaswere submitted to SociedadeNacional de Combustiveis de Angola– Empresa Publica (Sonangol (1)) bythe oil and gas operators in 1997.The proposal from Texaco (nowChevron) promoting LiquefiedNatural Gas (LNG) was selected asthe preferred solution; subsequentlyAngola LNG was established.

Following a joint feasibility study,Sonangol and Chevron extended aninvitation to the operators of the gassupplying blocks offshore Angola tojoin the Project. A ParticipationAgreement was executed in March,2002 whereby BP Exploration(Angola) Limited, Esso Angola GasCompany Limited and Total LNGAngola with respective shareholdingsof 13.6 percent became additionalco-venturers. Chevron and Sonangolare the Project’s Co-Leaders withshareholdings of 36.4 percent and22.8 percent respectively.

The Government of Angola andSonangol consider the Angola LNGProject to be of national importance and the cornerstone of its plan to

exploit and develop the country’snational gas resources and reduce gasflaring.

Development of the AngolaLNG Project

The selected Project concept will ini-tially involve the collection of associ-ated gas (2) from offshore Angola oilproduction facilities and transporta-tion of this gas to onshore gas treat-ment and LNG process facilities. TheLNG process facilities will then con-vert the gas into a liquid and store it,prior to export via tankers.

The Angola LNG Project has under-taken conceptual engineering designand implemented a rigorous prelimi-nary evaluation program in order toidentify the preferred project alterna-tive and site location. In assessingalternatives, a number of factorswere considered including environ-mental, socioeconomic, health andsafety, operability, security, cost,schedule, potential to promote eco-nomic growth and stakeholder views.

Executive Summary

The conclusion of the site selectionwork was that the Project should belocated on partially reclaimed landon the north shore of Kwanda Island,in the Soyo Municipality of ZaireProvince.

Sonangol is the owner of all associ-ated and non-associated gas fordevelopment purposes under Angolanlaw and will provide these resourcesto the Project. In this regard, approx-imately 900 million cubic feet perday of associated and non-associatedgas from Blocks 0, 1, 2, 14, 15, 17and 18 will be collected and trans-ported from offshore productionfacilities to the LNG plant. The plantwill produce Liquefied Natural Gas(LNG) as well as LiquefiedPetroleum Gas (LPG) and conden-sates. The plant will initially haveone train of five million tonnes peryear of LNG production capacity.LNG will be delivered to regasifica-tion facilities in the US and the gasinto the US market and possiblyother Atlantic Basin markets.

2 ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT Angola LNG

Angola LNG is in the process of undertaking aprogram of environmental and socioeconomicstudies. These include consultation and disclo-sure as part of an ESHIA (Environmental,Socioeconomic, and Health ImpactAssessment) for the construction and operationof the Angola LNG Project. The ESHIA is partof an ongoing process to develop the overallEnvironmental, Socioeconomic, and HealthManagement Plan (ESHMP) for the construc-tion and operation of the proposed Project.

Defining the Area ofInfluence of the Project

Although the scale of the Project issuch that it has the potential to havean influence at the national andinternational level (e.g. in terms ofemployment, procurement, revenuepayments, etc), the vast majority ofthe impacts – both positive and neg-ative - will be received by the com-munities and environment in theimmediate vicinity of the projectactivities. Accordingly, the ESHIAfocuses on the nearshore, estuarineand terrestrial areas around theKwanda Island and the town of Soyoand the Zimbi Area (1).

The Natural Environment

Kwanda Island

Kwanda Island is located near themouth of the Congo River in the farNorthwest of Angola. The river sep-arates Angola from the DemocraticRepublic of Congo (DRC). Theisland measures approximately 725ha, much of which is occupied byKwanda Base, an offshore industrysupport base. Soyo town lies imme-diately south of the island and is thelargest town in Zaire Province, witha population of around 55,000.

Terrestrial Habitats and Land Use

The plateau to the south of KwandaIsland rises gradually from a heightof approximately 5-10 m directlysouthwest to over 50 m at the coastdue south. Much of this is scrublandor under cultivation, with isolatedareas of mangrove along creeks anda single small remnant of Atlanticforest.

To the east the land is generallylower-lying (<3-5 m) and inter-spersed with numerous creeks andchannels. Mangroves are the domi-nant vegetation. Isolated areas ofhigher-lying ground are locatedwithin the mangroves, characterizedby palm savanna habitat.

The Congo Estuary

The Congo River is the secondlargest river in the world with anaverage discharge of 45,000 cubicmeters per second. Despite this, thephysical configuration of its lowerreaches gives it, unusually, an estuar-ine character. This is predominantlydue to the presence of the SereiaPeninsula, that shelters the Baía doDiogo Cão from the sea. The Baíado Diogo Cão is a relatively shallowbay on the southern bank of theCongo River, generally less than 5 mdeep. A network of channels andcreeks communicate with the bay,the main ones being the PululuChannel, the Moita Seca Channeland the Soyo Channel. This systemis largely afforested with mangroves.

The Coastal Zone

The Atlantic coastal fringe of theSereia Peninsula comprises a steepsandy beach backed by a low sand-stone cliff. The eastward migrationof the beach is evident particularlynear Ponta do Padrão.

The coastal cliff gives way north-wards to a low sand ridge immedi-ately behind which the land slopesdown to the mangrove creeks associ-ated with the Baía do Diogo Cão.Further south, as the main plateaurises, the height of the coastal cliffincreases correspondingly.

The Zimbi Area (2)

The sandstone cliff and steep sandybeach extends southward to theZimbi Area. The Zimbi ResourceArea comprises a 3,200 ha rectangle7-11 km offshore TombocoMunicipality, which is approxi-mately 60 – 120 km south of Soyo.The offshore environment within theZimbi Resource Area comprises rela-tively homogenous submerged sandbanks.

The Project Setting

(1) The Zimbi Area is included as this encompasses the area of proposed marine sand extractionand associated local fishing communities.

(2) The Zimbi Area encompasses the "Zimbi Resource Area" which is the offshore location fromwhich sand will be extracted, as well as the adjacent coastal strip with associated communities.

The Human Environment

National Context

The formal ceasefire agreementsigned between the PopularMovement for the Liberation ofAngola (MPLA) and the NationalUnion for the Total Independence ofAngola (UNITA) in April 2002marked the beginning of Angola’seconomic and social recovery afteralmost 30 years of civil war. Thecivil war resulted in the displacementof approximately one-third of thecountry’s population, the destabiliza-tion of its economy and the destruc-tion of much of its physical andsocial infrastructure.

Although the civil war severelyaffected the productivity and per-formance of the Angolan economy,economic performance has beenimproving recently as a result ofgreater stability. Angola is currentlythe fastest growing economy inAfrica, principally due to the oil sector. Unemployment nonethelessremains high, estimated at 67 percent of the total working popula-tion(1) . Additionally, Angola isranked 160 out of 177 countries onthe 2005 UN Human DevelopmentIndex, a worldwide measure ofnational well-being.

For the purpose of the ESHIA, the36 communities in the Soyo StudyArea were divided into:

� fishing communities;

� fenceline communities (on Kwanda Island);

� agriculture and fishing commu-nities (4); and

� Soyo Town communities.

These communities (locally referredto as aldeias), with the exception ofthe fishing communities, were origi-nally located in rural areas.However, they were relocated by thePortuguese and subsequently by theAngolan Government to areas alongthe main asphalted road (runningeast/west across Kwanda Island andthen north/ south through the SoyoCommune) to ensure better controland protection of the population.Temporary huts exist in more ruralareas of the Soyo Commune, andthese are used by descendants of theoriginal resettled inhabitants andother community members as a basefor carrying out agriculture andother livelihood activities such asfishing and wood collection.

Soyo Municipality, and particularlySoyo town, has better infrastructureand services than elsewhere in theprovince. This is largely because thepresence of oil developments hasattracted government investment andcompanies themselves have con-tributed to infrastructural improve-ment. Soyo is also well served by seaand air transport. Asphalted roads inthe municipality are limited to a 15kilometer road running fromKwanda Base, through Soyo town,south to Pangala community.

As a result of poor living conditionsand nutrition, low awareness of thecauses, prevention and treatment ofdisease among other factors, Soyohas high levels of infectious diseasesincluding HIV-AIDS, other sexuallytransmitted diseases, malaria, tuber-culosis, hepatitis and African try-panosomiasis (sleeping sickness).Although the health services in SoyoCommune are better than thosefound in other communes in themunicipality, they remain insufficientto meet demand and lack supplies,medicine and trained staff.

Fifteen communities in the ZimbiArea have been identified that fish inthe Zimbi Resource Area (5). Thesecommunities, which are withinTomboco Municipality, consist ofsemi-permanent dwellings with mini-mal facilities and have populationsizes that range between 273 and804 permanent residents. These com-munities are grouped into five loosesocial and political groups that aresometimes represented by a Regidor,although this is not the rule. One ofthe communities identified duringscoping, Mangue Grande, is locatedon the Soyo-Tomboco Municipalityborder and is a trading town with ahigher level of infrastructure andfacilities. Households in MangueGrande who fish use an area to thenorth of the Zimbi Resource Area.

Local Context

The population of Zaire Province isestimated at just over 360,000inhabitants. Thirty three percent ofinhabitants originate from neighbor-ing provinces and countries such asthe Democratic Republic of Congo(DRC) (1). In 2005, the Zaire provin-cial government noted that SoyoMunicipality had approximately109,000 inhabitants, the highestpopulation density per km2 for ZaireProvince (another estimate puts thiseven higher at over 122,500 (2)).Differing figures are provided for thepopulation of the Soyo Commune,but approximately 89,000 (3) peopleinhabit the 36 communities includedin the Soyo Study Area in 11,500households. The most populatedarea is Soyo town with 68 percent ofthe Soyo Study Area population.

The oil industry dominates the econ-omy of Zaire Province, which hassignificant oil reserves and is the sec-ond most important province interms of oil resources. Most oilactivity in Zaire Province is centeredin the Soyo Commune (focusing onKwanda Base and Total’s on-shorefacilities near Quinfuquena). The oilindustry is an important localemployer in the commune and hashad a highly localized impact on theeconomy of Soyo. Besides oil, theprincipal areas of economic activityare subsistence agriculture, animalhusbandry and artisanal fishing.

Key Sensitivities

Overview

Key sensitivities have been identifiedand are a particular focus of atten-tion in the assessment of impacts.There is a significant degree of inter-action between the sensitive featuresof the Soyo Study Area. The interac-tion is due to the nature of theregion; i.e. many of the environmen-tal features derive from the fact thatit is an estuarine environment. Thisinfluences the physical environment,its habitats and the livelihoods oflocal people.

Spatial Sensitivities

Key following spatial sensitivitieswere identified and are identified inthe map below.

� Sensitive habitats. Other thanwidely distributed sensitivemangrove habitats, there is asingle area of Atlantic forestremnant that is of biodiversityimportance. This represents thelast tract of this habitat type inthe region.

� Nesting turtles. Turtles, in par-ticular the olive ridley and pos-sibly the green turtle, are knownto nest along the coast fromPonta do Padrão possibly as farsouth as the Zimbi Area andbeyond.

� Human settlements. The Projectarea has relatively high densitypopulation distribution particu-larly in Soyo Town and KwandaIsland.

� Agricultural areas. The majorityof households, particularlypoorer households, are at leastin part dependent on agricul-tural activities for income and

subsistence. Food shortageshave been reported in the Soyo Area.

� Fishing locations and accessroutes. Thirteen fishing commu-nities depend on fishing in theSoyo Study Area as a source ofincome and subsistence whenthey are unable to fish at sea(due to lack of access to a boatwith a motor, weather etc).Other communities in the SoyoStudy Area include householdswhere fish as one of a numberof sources of subsistence andincome. Most of the coastalcommunities in the Zimbi Areadepend on fishing. Fishermen inthe Zimbi Area fish over anextensive range, up to 40 kmoffshore.

� Cultural Sites. The study area isrich in cultural sites which arehighly important to the localpeople. Cemeteries are alsoimportant as the resting place ofancestors that are highly reveredin Basolongo society.

� Key Social Services. Key socialservices such as hospitals,schools and emergency facilitieswill be particularly sensitive tonoise, traffic and other impactsthat may be caused by projectactivities.

The Project SettingThe Project Setting

� Traffic Hotspots. Accident ratesin the study area are high, par-ticularly given the relatively lowtraffic volumes on the roads.Nine traffic hotspots have beenidentified, which are particu-larly prone to congestion andaccidents.

Temporal Sensitivities

No significant socio-cultural orsocioeconomic temporal sensitivitieshave been identified. Environmentaltemporal sensitivities appear to belimited to:

� the seasonal use of Atlanticbeaches by nesting turtles; and

� the seasonal migration of hump-back whales with calves throughthe Zimbi Resource Area.

While fisheries vary seasonally interms of catch and species, it isassumed they are equally sensitive todisturbance year round.

Fishing Community Consultations


Vulnerable Groups

Vulnerable groups are defined by theWorld Bank as those that are‘excluded’ or ‘weak’ and liable toserious hardship and povertybecause they are unable to takeadvantage of opportunities or havelimited defenses if shocks occur.

� Youth is locally considered themost vulnerable group in theSoyo Area, as a result of highunemployment. Local youthshare a general perception thatSoyo residents are not beingtreated fairly and that oil fromSoyo is used for the develop-ment of other areas, with littletangible benefit for local people.

� Other vulnerable socioeconomicgroups include single mothers,poor households, the disabled,young women, residents suffer-ing from illnesses that could beexacerbated by the Project (e.g.asthma), and the elderly or chil-dren who have less immuity todiseases.

Fishing Community Consultation


Purpose of the ESHIA

The intent of the Angola LNGProject is to conduct the program ofstudies, consultation and disclosurethat comprise the ESHIA to be con-sistent with World Bank Guidelinesand appropriate international industry guidelines, while meeting the Angolan legislative requirementsfor Environmental ImpactAssessment (EIA).

The Angolan EIA Regulations andthe World Bank Policies require thatEIA be undertaken on behalf of theProject sponsor by a suitably qualified independent organization.Angola LNG has therefore contracted Environmental ResourcesManagement (www.erm.com), anindependent international consul-tancy firm, to undertake the ESHIAon its behalf.

Because the project design is evolv-ing, an addendum report will beissued once the design concept isfinalized. The ESHIA Addendum willprovide additional specific informa-tion on design, mitigation and monitoring that is not available atthis stage in the ESHIA process. Italso affords an opportunity for stake-holder feedback generated by disclo-sure of the present report to be incorporated.

Scope of the ESHIA

It is important to note that thisreport does not represent the culmi-nation of the ESHIA process; ratherit documents the results of theESHIA process to date and sets outfuture actions. This ESHIA reportassesses the environmental, socioeco-nomic and community healthimpacts of the following aspects ofthe Angola LNG Project:

� site preparation works (i.e. con-struction dredging and landreclamation);

The Angola Project ESHIAThe Angola Project ESHIA

� construction and operation ofthe Angola LNG Project facili-ties as well as temporary facili-ties associated with the con-struction phase; and

� installation and operation offeed gas pipelines from the 20m isobath to the LNG plant,including the landfall and beachcrossing.

Decommissioning is not addressed indetail as plans will be drawn up at alater date to allow for changes in theproject context as well as advancesin technology in the interveningperiod.

Concepts for such items as housingfacilities for the construction andoperational phases and possible ded-icated road and bridge from thehousing facilities to Kwanda Baseare under development and thus notincluded in the scope of this ESHIA.It is envisaged that additionalESHIAs will be undertaken and pre-sented to Angolan authorities forany such works.

The ESHIA will:

� provide input to the Angola LNG

Project team and design engineers

to ensure an optimized design that

reduces environmental, socioeco-

nomic and health impacts as far as

practicable;

� identify and aim to enhance, posi-

tive impacts and opportunities aris-

ing from development of the proj-

ect;

� be thoroughly integrated, meaning

that impacts and related mitigation

measures for environmental, socioe-

conomic, and health aspects are

coordinated;

� incorporate stakeholder input as the

studies are developed and executed;

and

� communicate successfully at key

points with a wide range of stake-

holders.

The key stages in the ESHIA process are shown in the figure above.


Project Schedule

The overall design life for the onshoreLNG facilities is 20 years. The cur-rent estimated duration of the design,construction and commissioning ofthe Angola LNG Project is approxi-mately 42 months based on a sched-uled initial start-up for the AngolaLNG Project facilities in mid 2010.

The first phase of the constructionprogram will be the site preparatoryworks; essentially comprising dredg-ing of the channel and turning basin,land reclamation and infrastructureimprovements. These works arescheduled to commence in late 2006for a period of approximately 18months.

The construction and commissioningof the offshore gas collection pipelinesystem will be phased over severalyears. The first phase will be com-pleted to ensure an available gas sup-ply for the initial start-up of theLNG plant in 2010.

Process Overview

The process of conversion of gas to aliquid, referred to as cryogenic lique-faction, involves treatment of the gasfollowed by a refrigeration processentailing alternate pressurization,cooling and decompression of therefrigerant medium, and use of therefrigerant medium in heat exchang-ers in order to reduce the tempera-ture of the gas to a point at which itcondenses to form a liquid.

The plant will produce LiquefiedNatural Gas (LNG) as well as

Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) andcondensates. The plant will initiallyhave one train of five million tonnesper year of LNG production capacity.LNG will be delivered to regasifica-tion facilities in the US and the gasinto the US market and possiblyother Atlantic Basin markets. Inaddition, a supply of natural gas willbe made available from the process-ing plant for use within Angola asdetermined by Sonangol and theGovernment of Angola.

Giant Black Sable


Project Footprint

The land allocation for the facility isapproximately 320 ha (including upto 97.5 ha of reclaimed land), 77 haof which lies inside the boundary ofKwanda Base. This comprises theplant site, supplemental constructionlaydown areas, buffer zones, infra-structure dock, and heavy haul road.Areas of water to the north, east andwest of the plant total an additionalapproximate 340 ha and include themarine facility pier, flare, ship berthsand turning basin.

The proposed Angola LNG develop-ment will comprise the following keycomponents:

� An offshore gas gatheringpipeline system will collectdense-phase gaseous hydrocar-bons from several offshore fieldsand bring it ashore at a point onthe Angolan coast near the pro-posed LNG facilities (1).

� A cross-country pipeline corri-dor will run from the Atlanticcoast to the LNG plant onKwanda Island. The pipelinelandfall will be to the south ofthe man-made canal, with theroute running approximatelynortheast to the LNG facilities.The pipeline will be buried forits entire length at a depth con-sistent with safety requirements.The route makes a number ofdeviations to avoid settlementsand sites of environmental andcultural importance.

� Production will be achievedusing a single ‘process train’ thattreats, processes and liquefiesthe received natural gas. Theproposed onshore LNG plantwill include inlet facilities and

slug catcher, condensate separa-tion and stabilization, acid gasremoval, dehydration, mercuryremoval, liquefaction, LPGrecovery and fractionation,product storage facilities, utili-ties, flare system and supportfacilities.

� The marine terminal will com-prise two dedicated marineberths, one for LNG only, andone for LPG and condensate.These berths will be located onthe north side of the LNG facili-ties on the plant site. Themarine terminal will be servedby an approach channel approx-imately 14 m deep and 250 mwide, constructed by wideningand deepening the existing ship-ping channel from Ponta doPadrão to Kwanda Island andthe dredging of a new dedicatedturning basin.


� A marine operating base (MOB)will be located immediatelyadjacent to the plant site. Thisdock will serve as a tug boat,pilot boat, and general supportvessel operating base duringnormal LNG Plant operations.

� An infrastructure/constructiondock will be located to the westof the plant site, immediatelyadjacent to and north of theexisting commercial jetty atKwanda Base. An upgradedheavy haul road will connect theinfrastructure dock with theLNG plant site. Its initial usewill be as the Onshore FacilitiesEPC (2) contractor’s constructiondock. After completion of con-struction, it is planned that thisdock facility and road will bemade available for use by othercommercial and industrial enter-prises in the Soyo Area toaccommodate future industrialdevelopment.

(1) It is noted that separate Environmental Impact Assessments are being undertaken bythe individual block operators on the construction of the offshore gas gathering worksand are therefore not considered in detail in this ESHIA. The ESHIA considers thepipeline from the 20 m isobath to the plant.(2) Engineering, procurement, and construction.

Additionally, construction worker housing is anticipatedto be built as permanent style accommodations locatedsouth-west of Soyo. After construction is completed thehousing accommodations will be evaluated for use by thecommunity. The location of the permanent supportingfacilities such as offices, residential housing for opera-tional workers and associated service infrastructure hasnot yet been determined. These facilities are in conceptualdevelopment and thus not within the scope of this ESHIA.

Site Preparation

Overview

The site preparation works encompass the following.

� Site clearing, grubbing, and grading activities ofexisting land areas, including clearance of unex-ploded ordnance (UXO) and installation of tempo-rary security fencing and lighting. Vegetation andUXO clearance have already been approved by theAngolan authorities and are not assessed in thisESHIA (1).

� Construction of additional residential units atKwanda Base for site works personnel (but notincluding the EPC contractor’s workforce).

� Local infrastructure improvements comprising con-struction of a new infrastructure / construction dockand a heavy-haul construction road linking this tothe Project site.

� Enlarging the existing shipping channel from Pontado Padrão to Kwanda Island and dredging a turningbasin to accommodate for the safe arrival and depar-ture of tankers to and from the proposed marine ter-minal. In addition, dredging of a channel to the pro-posed MOB.

� Land reclamation in the shallow waters on thenorthern shore of Kwanda Island to create the north-ern portion of the LNG Project site. The reclaimedarea will comprise a parcel of land extendingapproximately 750 m into Baía Diogo Cão.

Land Preparation

Following the clearance of vegetation and UXO, the sitewill be filled with additional material and leveled toachieve the required height and stability to allow the EPCcontractor to commence construction. This will alsoinvolve construction of the heavy-haul road. The roadwill be approximately 2.3 km long and 12-16 m wide.

It is currently anticipated that existing accommodation atKwanda Base will be utilized to support the proposed sitepreparation activities. However, some additional residen-tial units may need to be constructed to fully supportthese activities. Kwanda Lda., the management companythat operates the base, has existing infrastructure inplace, which will facilitate the support required for theseoperations.

(1) Detailed assessment of the area has been limited by the hazards associated withUXO. Angola LNG has proceeded with additional studies as increased access hasbecome possible e.g. ornithological (bird) surveys and identification of mammals andreptiles.

(2) Note there are two sensitive environments potentially impacted by different parame-ters caused by the dredging that necessitate different monitoring programs, mangrovesto the west of the shipping channel and fishing areas to the east of the channel.

Dredging

The existing shipping channel toKwanda Base will be deepened andwidened to approximately 300meters wide at the entrance to theCongo River, tapering to 250 meterstowards Kwanda Base. The proposedchannel runs north-south, roughlyperpendicular to the flow of theCongo River. The channel will end ina turning basin to enable LNG andLPG carriers to safely maneuver andmoor at the Angola LNG facility.

The required dredged depth for thechannel and turning basin is 14meters below LAT (lowest astronom-ical tide) with an approximate 7 hor-izontal to 1 vertical side slope, inaccordance with PIANC (1) guidelines.

The site preparation works mayinclude the dredging of an approachchannel 600-800 meters long to aMarine Operating Base (MOB) tofacilitate construction. The MOB willbe used as a service and supply basefor construction and Project supportvessels and as an unloading point foroccasional equipment that is broughtto the site by sea. The extension ofthe channel to the MOB will not beused by any LNG or LPG vesselsthus the required depth for the MOBwill only be 6 to 8 m below LAT.

It is predicted that the total volumeof material required to be dredgedwill amount to 30-35 million cubicmeters. Some of this material will beused in reclamation, but there will beapproximately 22 million cubicmeters of surplus material.Alternative uses for the surplusdredged material are being evaluated;however if disposal is required it willtake place through bottom dumpingor through horizontal discharge atleast 5 m below the surface in the

main estuary of the Congo Rivernorth of the Baía do Diogo Cão. Thiswill ensure the disposed spoil is rap-idly dispersed by the strong flow ofthe river. This material has previouslybeen geochemically analyzed forcompliance with London Conventionguidelines and all disposal activitywill be in accordance with thisConvention to avoid significantimpacts to water quality.

All the proposed dredging and spoildisposal operations will be managedto minimize environmental impactsby ensuring that all practicable tech-niques are used to control dispersalof suspended sediment. The dredgingcontractor will be required to pro-vide for all necessary managementmeasures (e.g. monitoring) in orderto comply with environmental con-straints set out in the technical speci-fications, approvals, permits,ESHMP, local regulations and/orother third party requirements.Dredging areas will be containedwithin an exclusion zone, defined bya 300m wide Working Boundarybeyond which impacts to appropriatevariables such as dissolved oxygen,suspended solids, and/or accretionrates will be monitored (2) and actiontaken as required. Pre-work to becompleted prior to start of anydredging will include testing to deter-mine a representative baseline fordissolved oxygen and suspended


solids concentrations. Specific vari-ables to be monitored along withintervals and consequences will beincorporated into the Dredging andLand Reclamation specific ESHMPand contractors work execution plan.

In order to ensure the safety of allvessels during the dredging opera-tions, the contractor will providetemporary navigation aids to ensurethe safety of other marine users (e.g.other commercial shipping, fisher-men, local ferries etc.). The dredgingworks will be required to minimizedisruption to navigation and not cre-ate any additional hazard to naviga-tion in the area. A simultaneousoperations (SIMOPS) plan will bedeveloped that will incorporate themarine traffic information.

On completion of the dredgingworks, new permanent navigationaids for the shipping approach chan-nel and turning basin will beinstalled.

Reclamation

Approximately 97.5 ha of land willbe reclaimed from Baía do DiogoCão, comprising an area 1,290meters wide, with the western sideapproximately 800 meters long andthe eastern side 750 meters long.The land will be reclaimed to aheight of approximately 3.5-3.8meters above LAT after settlement,subject to the final EPC contractordesign basis.

The area to be reclaimed will first befilled to above the existing water-level. Subsequent filling to therequired elevation (and allowing forsettlement) will be bunded in orderto contain the materials and will bestructurally and geotechnically sta-ble. The reclamation and fill material

Model

will be clean granular soils. During placement of the fill material, it willbe sampled and analyzed on site bythe contractor for gradation (grainsize distribution) and in-situ density.Up to 15 million cubic meters of fillmaterial will be required to completethe reclamation. It is currently antic-ipated that the fill material may comefrom two sources, namely:

� material retained from dredgingthe turning basin, and

� sand dredged from the ZimbiResource Area.

The expectation is that materialsourced from the turning basin willbe mined with a cutter suctiondredger and pumped directly to thereclamation area through a floatingline. Fill material from ZimbiResource Area will be extractedusing a trailing suction hopperdredger and delivered directly to the site.

The contractor will be required toincorporate measures to protect finalshore lines from waves, wakes, cur-rents, and propeller wash. Shorelineprotection is designed to protect thereclamation area up to a 50-yearreturn period storm event (1). In addi-tion, the environmental impacts ofthe reclamation works will be managed to reduce potential impactsto the environment of Baía do Diogo Cão.

Reclamation operations will use allpracticable methods to control dispersal of sediment from the recla-mation area. In particular the con-tractor will trap run-off slurry (containing excess fines) from thereclamation area by means of silttraps (or equivalent) and dispose of it in an area designated and approvedby Angola LNG.

Zimbi Sand Sourcing

It is proposed that sand will beextracted from the Zimbi ResourceArea using dynamic (i.e. mobile)dredging by Trailing Suction HopperDredgers (TSHDs). Sand extraction isplanned to take place to a depth ofapproximately 2-3 m below theseabed.

It is proposed that two or threedredgers will be used for the sandextraction. The size of the vessels islikely to be of the order of 97 m to133 m overall length. A safety exclu-sion zone will be required around thevessels. The exact size of the exclu-sion zone will be dependent upon thefinal dredging work plan and mayrange from approximately 150 to500 meters around each individualdredger, in accordance with interna-tional maritime law and best prac-tice. It is not envisaged that there willbe a requirement for an exclusionzone around the resource area itself.

The sailing route of the dredgersbetween the Zimbi Resource Areaand Baía do Diogo Cão will be themost direct route while seeking to

avoid inshore areas where artisanalfishermen operate (i.e. beyond 5 kmof the coast). The only area in whichthe dredgers will travel closest toshore will be in the approaches toPonta do Padrão in order to turninto the Congo Estuary.

Workforce and ProcurementRequirements during SitePreparation

Site preparation will require an aver-age of 220 people in late 2006 and230 people for 2007, peaking at aworkforce of around 450 in the sec-ond quarter of 2007. On average,over that time it is estimated that theskills requirements will be 35 percentskilled, 20 percent semi-skilled and45 percent unskilled labor. The highpercentage of skilled labor is mainlya result of the specialized dredgingand reclamation activities. This isbalanced by the requirements forunskilled and semi-skilled labor inthe site clearance, infrastructure,fencing and accommodation and erosion control activities.

Construction and

Commissioning

Main Facilities Constructionand Commissioning

The LNG plant will be constructedon two parcels of land totalingapproximately 175 ha. Constructionactivities will utilize supplementallaydown areas (total area of approx-imately 50 ha) located south andeast of the LNG plant site. The bulkof the construction material and pre-fabricated modules will bebrought to site by sea to the infra-structure/construction dock.

It is anticipated that the LNG plantwill be built using a ‘stick built’ (1)

process. The main stick built partswill likely include:

� LNG train;� LPG recovery/fractionation

train;� utilities plant;� LNG/LPG/Condensate storage

tanks;� LNG and LPG/condensate

loading berths;� main/major foundations; and � underground and interconnect-

ing systems between the processunits.

The following elements will probably be pre-fabricated:

� buildings in the administrationarea and possibly some processplant buildings;

� flare structures;� LNG and LPG/condensate

loading jetties; and� minor foundations/supports/

sleepers etc.

Piles will be driven for support ofheavy loads in all major process and

utility areas and in all other areaswith heavy loads including the stor-age tank areas. It is anticipated thatpiles may be driven 24-hours per dayduring part of the constructionphase.

Commissioning the Plant,Storage and Export Facilities

It is anticipated that the commission-ing period for the LNG plant mayextend as long as six to eightmonths, including a two monthstartup. Plant commissioning willinclude hydrotesting (pressure test-ing) of tanks using demineralizedwater. After testing, the water will bedirected to the wastewater treatmentplant, prior to discharge. The equip-ment will subsequently need to bedried, probably using nitrogen toavoid any possibility of corrosion.

A limited amount of flaring will beinevitable during the commissioningphase. It will be minimized whereverpractical and will be conducted in amanner that reduces impacts on theenvironment to as low as reasonablypractical (ALARP) levels.

Any venting will be scheduled tominimize disturbance to the localpopulation. It will be conducted in amanner that does not cause unduerisk to the environment and localpopulation (i.e. when atmosphericconditions will carry the unburnedgas away from land).


Terrestrial PipelineConstruction

Onshore, the pipeline will beinstalled using a conventional spreadtechnique.

After replacement of the topsoil,final restoration can commence.Segregation of topsoil during con-struction means that seeds, rhizomesetc. of local plants (commonlyreferred to as the ‘seed bank’) will be preserved intact. Native vegeta-tion will thus re-establish over the working areas without the need forspecific seeding.

The spread technique involves the following activities:

� The route is identified and marked

out using temporary fencing.

� The area is checked for UXO. It may

be necessary to carry out explosive

ordnance detonation (EOD) for the

safety corridor (in areas outside

mangroves), if initial investigations

reveal the presence of a significant

UXO hazard

� Topsoil is stripped from the ribbon

of land used for construction (the

‘working width’, in this case an area

70 m wide) and segregated pending

reinstatement.

� The pipe is laid out along the route

on temporary supports, welded

together, welds are tested and joint

protection is applied.

� The trench is excavated to the

required depth.

� The pipeline is lowered into the

trench by sideboom tractors.

� The trench is backfilled and the

working width reinstated.

The onshore route will cross wetlandand mangrove areas, though thealignment has been selected to mini-mize the impact of this. The pre-ferred crossing method will involvebundling the pipelines, to reduce thewidth of the crossing and minimizethe time taken. This allows a singletrenching operation rather than mul-tiple trenches for each individualline. If the pipelines are bundled, it isenvisaged that this will take placealong the right of way and no addi-tional landtake would be requiredfor bundling. For water crossings,sheet piles will be used as requiredto contain the trench through theseareas and prevent slumping, allow-ing the working width to be kept toa minimum. The pipeline will thenbe floated into place and coveredwith gravel or sand protection.

In addition to providing workingareas for the spread, constructionwill also require laydown areas forequipment and line pipe storagealong the route. All these featureswill necessarily be outside the 70 mcorridor. A dock, main pipe storagearea, and bridge are also required toenable the line pipe to be deliveredby barge, thereby avoiding signifi-cant heavy road traffic through communities.

Line pipe will transferred by bargeto an offloading dock in the PululuChannel near the mouth of PanguiCreek. The pipe will be off loadedacross the dock and trucked to themain pipe storage area located eastof the dock, before final transport tothe pipeline corridor. The main pipestorage area will also contain a construction equipment maintenancearea.

A temporary pontoon bridge will beinstalled alongside the pipeline corri-dor right of way (RoW) to transportthe pipe across Pangui Creek. Thedock, main storage area, andpipeline corridor will all be con-nected by a haul road. After comple-tion of construction, the dock, stor-age area, bridge, and haul road willbe removed, and the areas restored.

Marine Pipeline Installation

At the pipeline landfall, twin sheetpiles will be installed that willextend from the high water mark toapproximately the 4 meter isobath(approximately 300 meters offshore). The area between the pileswill then be excavated to form thepipelaying trench. This trench willbe extended seawards for approxi-mately 800 meters using a cuttersuction dredger, creating a pipelinetrench approximately 4 meters deep.A shallower 2 meter trench will beextended from this point to the 10meter isobath, to provide temporaryprotection to the pipeline fromstorms during installation.

A cutter suction dredger will also berequired to cut a 2 meter deep trenchthrough a clay/gravel out-croppinglocated in about the 12 meter waterdepth. This section will be approxi-mately 500 meters long.

A shallow draught lay barge will beset up and the pipes will be pulledonshore using a shore based winch.After the pipe has reached shore, thebarge will then move offshore, layingthe pipe to the 20 meter isobath.This will be repeated as necessaryuntil all of the pipelines have beeninstalled. The sheet piles will then beremoved and both trenches back-filled. After installation of thepipelines they will be jetted into theseabed starting at the seaward end ofthe 800 meter long cutter suctionexcavated trench and ending at the15 meter isobath. This jetting opera-tion will include that section of thepipeline in the 2 meter deep tempo-rary-protection trench and the natu-ral undisturbed seabed between the10 and 15 meter isobath.

Jetting involves the use of a jet-sled, a

device that uses high pressure water

jets to locally fluidize the seabed. As

the sled is pulled along the pipeline,

the pipe sinks into the seabed under

gravity. Because no actual trenching or

backfill is required, this technique

minimizes disturbance to the seabed

and re-suspends relatively little seabed

material.

Pipeline Commissioning

The pipelines will be hydrotestedusing filtered water. In this process,the pipeline is flooded and held athigh pressure for an extended periodto check for leaks. Biocides and cor-rosion inhibitors may be added tothe water and will be selected fortheir minimal persistence in themarine environment. A plan for dis-posal of water used for hydrotestwill be developed with careful con-sideration given to the impact, ifany, of remaining chemicals on theenvironment. It is currently envis-aged that pipeline dewatering willtake place offshore. In any event, theimpacts of the chosen dewateringoption will be assessed in order toensure that environmental impactsare ALARP. In the event thatonshore dewatering is required, thedischarge will either:

� be routed via pipeline to belowthe low water mark at thecoastal landfall location; or

� routed via pipeline to the CongoRiver beyond the confines of the bay.

Workforce and HousingRequirements for theConstruction Phase

The construction of the AngolaLNG plant and terminal will takeplace between 2007 and 2010,requiring a workforce that will varybetween 4,000 and 8,000 workers atpeak. Due to the technical and spe-cific nature of the Project, many ofthese jobs will require skilled andsemi-skilled labor and it is thereforeestimated that up to 80% of theworkforce may be from outside theSoyo Area and require Projectaccommodation.

The location of the constructionworkforce housing is yet to be con-firmed. It will be in operationthroughout the construction sched-ule, i.e. approximately 40 months.Additional site preparation workerhousing may need to be provided forseparately.

Procurement Process for theConstruction Phase

The cost of the Project is estimatedto be between US$4 billion andUS$5 billion. Around 60 percent ofthis is related to those facilities andoperations that are within the scopeof this ESHIA. The largest portion ofthe onshore spend is related to theconstruction of the plant and termi-nal, while the remainder is related tothe site preparation, infrastructureworks and construction of thepipelines.

Due to the highly technical nature ofthe Project and its equipment, themajority of expenditure during con-struction will go to overseas suppli-ers. In total, 13-18 percent of pro-curement expenditure will be onnationally sourced goods and serv-ices, equal to between approximatelyUS$300 million to US$500 million.

The major part of the procurementduring construction will be under-taken by the EPC contractor, whichwill be required to demonstrate howthey will prioritize Angolan content.A minimum requirement is that localcontent (including procurement andemployment) should be between 10and 15 percent (in dollar value).


Operation

Pipeline Operations

Angola LNG will be responsible forthe operation of incoming feed gaspipelines. The operation of thepipelines will largely involve moni-toring the state of the pipeline andauxiliary equipment, monitoringactivities in the pipeline corridor toensure pipeline safety and monitor-ing of land restoration.

Plant Operations

The main plant operational activitiesare summarized below.

� The LNG facility will receive gas

from offshore facilities.

� This raw gas will undergo pre-treat-

ment to remove acid gas (CO2 and

H2S), water (dehydration), and

mercury. The treated and dehy-

drated gas stream will be chilled

below its condensing temperature

of minus 162°C at atmospheric pres-

sure. Once liquefied, the volume is

one six hundredth of its gaseous

form, making it easier to transport

and store. It is converted back to

gas by raising the temperature.

� The product from the final chilling

stage is LNG, which will then be

transferred to an LNG storage tank

for storage prior to export by ship.

During the chilling processes, liquid

petroleum gas (LPG) and conden-

sates will be removed from the

system and routed to the LPG frac-

tionation unit, producing propane,

butane and stabilized condensate.

The LPG and condensate will be

transferred to dedicated tanks for

storage prior to export.


Plant operations will be continuous.The LNG plant will be designed fora 20 year lifetime. It is anticipatedthat it will be routinely operated bytwo twelve hour or three eight hourshifts per day.

There is no planned flaring in rou-tine operations. Gas flared fromnon-routine flaring is expected to beless than 1 percent of the total emis-sions. The largest flare volumes willnaturally occur during the startupperiod. As a rough indication, flar-ing may initially occur for roughly50 hours per week, falling to 10hours per week by the end of thesecond month. Thereafter, routineoperations would be expected.

Marine Operations

For marine safety reasons only oneship at a time will be allowed tomove to/from the berths. On averageit is anticipated that the marine ter-minal will receive about 3 LNGtankers and 2-3 refrigerated LPGand condensate tankers per month.The turnaround time from entranceto exit will be approximately 20hours with 14 to 16 hours at thedock.

For safety and security reasons ves-sels will be required to maintain astate of readiness for immediatedeparture at all times while mooredat either of the berths. Vessels willalso have a moving safety zone of1,000 meters ahead, 300 metersastern and 100 meters on each side.While vessels are berthed, the safetyzone will be restricted to 150 metersaround the ships.

A boil-off gas recovery system isdesigned to recover vapors associ-ated with LNG and LPG storage,holding and loading operations.

LNG and LPG boil-off vapors willeither be routed to the plant fuel system or compressed and recycledback to the process.

Emergency Systems

The selected EPC contractors willdevelop and implement all responseplans for the period during construc-tion. Angola LNG will develop allrelevant response plans and proce-dures and implement and maintainits own dedicated response capabilityduring operation

Operational Workforce,Accommodation andProcurement

The operation of the Angola LNGplant and terminal should begin in2010 and will require around 300-500 permanent employees.Operation of the plant will require ahigh level of skilled and semi-skilledpersonnel. Initially around 30-40percent of these jobs may be filledby Angolans. This will increase overtime, with training programs, withmore than 60 percent of the work-force expected to be Angolans by the7th to 8th year of operation.

Given the lack of available housingstock in the Soyo Area, it is probablethat the Project will seek a newhousing development. The locationand style of this housing develop-ment is still to be decided.

Procurement spending on materialsand operational services at the sitewill amount to between US$45 andUS$50 million per annum. Many ofthe supplies to the Project duringwill be highly technical in nature andwill need to be procured internation-ally. Other goods and services suchas low tech equipment and mainte-nance services may be provided bynational companies.

Decommissioning

Decommissioning refers to theprocess of dismantling the operatingassets after completion of the operat-ing life cycle. Due to the long-termoperation of the LNG plant (20years) the proposals for decommis-sioning will be specified towards theend of the life of the Project.

Angola LNG will develop a decom-missioning plan at the appropriatetime in the future, prior to perform-ing any decommissioning work. Inaddition, a specific ESHIA of decom-missioning will be carried out asrequired by Angolan regulations.The assessment of decommissioningactivities in the future will have thebenefit of reviewing the actual as-built Project and utilizing currentprevailing technologies and wastemanagement and infrastructure practices.

Safety and loss prevention systemsincorporated into the Project’s designwill include the following:

� fire and gas detection and alarm

systems;

� fire protection systems;

� emergency communications

equipment;

� area classification and equipment

selection; and

� spill (hydrocarbons and non-

hydrocarbons) response plan and

equipment.


Stakeholder engagement refers to aprocess of sharing information andknowledge, seeking to understandthe concerns of others and buildingrelationships based on collaborationand partnership. It is a long-termprocess that requires the building oftrust through open dialogue and thedelivery of commitments.

Stakeholder engagement is central toAngola LNG’s vision. Angola LNGrecognizes that open and transparentcommunication is essential due tothe importance of the activities inwhich it is engaged and the impacton the local, regional and nationaleconomies and individuals.

Project stakeholders are identified inorder to understand the individualsor organizations that will be affectedby or may influence the Project orrelated activities either positively or

Stakeholder EngagementStakeholder Engagement

negatively. During the site selectionstage, an initial list of Project stake-holders was developed. This list hasbeen regularly reviewed andupdated.

Disclosure of information and stake-

holder consultation during the devel-

opment of the ESHIA is a substantial

component of overall stakeholder

engagement. It is fundamental to the

development of the ESHIA itself in

the following ways:

� Information is shared in a meaning-

ful and timely manner to enable the

public to provide considered feed-

back.

� The ESHIA team is fully able to

understand and characterize the

potential environmental, socioeco-

nomic and health impacts of the

Project.

� It enables the Project to develop

effective mitigation measures and

management plans that are sensi-

tive to the local context.

� Opportunities can be identified for

affected communities to participate

in mitigation, monitoring and

enhancement measures.

� Project Participants(management andemployees)

Consultation During Site Selection


Overview of Consultation

Process

The ESHIA consultation programhas been designed to conform toAngolan national legislation. Inaddition, the Angola LNG Project’sintent is to be consistent The WorldBank /International FinanceCorporation requirements for publicconsultation and disclosure.

A number of consultation phaseshave supported the ESHIA to date,in both the Soyo and Zimbi Areasand will continue as the ESHIAmoves towards disclosure. Theseinclude the following:

� Site Selection Consultation;� Scoping Consultation;� Baseline Data Collection

Consultation; and� Impacts and Mitigation

Consultation.

ESHIA Disclosure Consultation willcommence with the release of thisESHIA Disclosure Report to thepublic.

Key Consultation Findings to Date

Physical Environment

Initially, impacts to the physicalenvironment were not emphasized bylocal stakeholders. Slightly moreemphasis was placed on this in laterconsultations particularly relating tothe extraction and transport of fillmaterial. NGO and local communitystakeholder concerns related mainlyto the extent of the dredgingalthough local stakeholder concernwere not high due to the perceivedadvantages that Angola LNG maybring to the area.

Biodiversity

Relatively little concern has beenexpressed by stakeholders regardingbiodiversity issues. The views ofnational environmental stakeholderstended to focus on the perceivedsocioeconomic importance of theProject. At a biodiversity consulta-tion workshop held in Soyo inSeptember 2005 the general feedbackwas that biodiversity was not a sig-nificant issue for the Project, how-ever this attitude may have beeninfluenced by the perceived benefitsof the Project. It is possible that inthe future as general awareness ofenvironmental issues increases, theremay be more biodiversity concerns.

A concern was raised regarding thepotential impacts on mangroveareas. In particular there was a levelof concern regarding the pipelineroute as people expected that thiswould cause significant impacts.

Comments during consultationreferred to the fact that it is notenough for the Project to claim itwill monitor impacts on biodiversity,the Project also needs to have aresponse strategy should it have a(potentially unforeseen) impact onbiodiversity.

Environmental Quality

Consultation on environmental qual-ity issues associated with the Project(including water and air quality andnoise levels) has not generated a par-ticularly significant response fromstakeholders. Generally the percep-tion of environmental issues bystakeholders has been secondary tothe socioeconomic issues of concernand the perceived benefits that stake-holders believe Angola LNG mayprovide. However, consultation hashighlighted that the potential reduc-tion of flaring as a result of theProject is welcomed by local commu-nities due to the perceived impactson particular crops.

Fishermen and Middle Women


In-migration

Throughout the consultationprocess, stakeholders were concernedthat Soyo would become a magnetfor in-migration. Although migrantsare generally accepted into the localcommunity, many stakeholders didexpress concern about losing poten-tial employment opportunities to in-migrants. It was also identifiedthat the increased number of peoplemoving into the area would exertgreater pressure on basic infrastruc-ture services such as health, water,electricity, sanitation and housing.

There was no ill-feeling regarding in-migration from other parts ofAngola. Many of those living inSoyo from other provinces are cur-rently well-integrated within thecommunity with their children goingto local schools etc. Similarly,though there are high expectationsthat the Project will provide employ-ment for local youth, according tothe Rei do Povo, foreign workers“are free to come and work here,everyone is welcome”.

There was a recognition that theGovernment was ultimately responsi-ble for land planning and needed forthe Government to develop an infrastructure plan to account forfuture developments. Many stake-holders stressed the need to clearlycommunicate employment opportu-nities to prevent speculative employ-ees traveling to Soyo. Consulteesalso recommended that the Projectshould support the Government inthe management of this issue.

Integration of Workers

During the consultation in Luanda,some workshop participantsexpressed a strong consensus thatthe Project decision to implementlargely closed construction housingmay produce a community backlashand represent a missed opportunityto provide benefits to Soyo. Otherparticipants expressed strong opin-ions that the construction housing beclosed.

Cultural Heritage

Many people consulted asked that,“local culture be respected, particu-larly sacred sites such as cemeteries”.It was noted during consultation thatfailure to respect local culture,including cultural sites (particularlycemeteries) would represent a seriousviolation of the culture and couldpotentially cause serious problems.

The Project was encouraged toestablish regular courtesy visits withthe Rei do Povo to discuss plans for

the area and seek advice since thesewould be welcomed by the tradi-tional authorities and would demonstrate that the Project valueslocal culture. The Rei do Povo inSoyo clearly stated that he desired a cultural ceremony to kick-off the Project, which was done in April 2006.

Recreation and Amenity

A number of stakeholders observedthe lack of recreation and amenitiesin Soyo, specifically at Praía dosPobres. However, no potentialimpacts specific to the beach wereraised by consultees at this time.

During a consultation meeting withthe community of Songo e Tona,community members stated that theyhave received no benefits fromKwanda Base specifically recre-ational amenities: “Even though weown the land, our children have norecreational areas.”


Blessing of the Land by Rei do Povo in Soyo


Health

It was observed by one health centerprofessional that there needs to be astrategy for the treatment of malariain hospitals since the approach totreatment is more reactive than preventative. Similar concerns wereexpressed regarding AIDS and sexu-ally transmitted infections, which arefelt to be a growing problem.

It is a common belief among thelocal community that acute respira-tory diseases were linked to air pol-lution due to the flaring.

During a group meeting of healthcare professionals, it was stated thatthey want support from the Project,specifically in the assistance tospread awareness of prevention(HIV, malaria) and for the Project toincrease the levels of sanitation andeducation in the community. Arecurring comment was the lack ofmedical structure in the region, thepoor quality of facilities, lack ofmedication and insufficient numbersof beds for patients.

Employment

Employment has been a dominanttheme throughout consultation. Theneed for employment and training oflocal and Angolan people is a keyissue of concern for many stakehold-ers. There was an overwhelmingexpectation and demand for employ-ment opportunities specifically forthe local youth. In addition, there isfrustration concerning the currentrecruitment practices within the oilindustry, for example, the practice of‘hello money’ appears to be wide-spread. Nepotism and patronage arealso common, excluding local youthfrom permanent jobs.

Although women were identified asa vulnerable group it was also notedthat the impact from the Projectcould potentially be positive since itmay reduce their work load.However, the director of theDepartment for Women’s Affairs inSoyo observed that even women whohold college degrees have few oppor-tunities available to them.

Members of fishing communitiesstated that even the educated youthhave been unable to find work andtherefore have had to fish along withthe rest of the family. They observedthat this is causing frustration, andexpectations for the Project to provide jobs are high.

People from Soyo made it clear thatthey wanted to be prioritized forwork positions but also had con-cerns that they did not possess sufficient skills to be able to competefor jobs. Zimbi Area communitiesalso requested priority for jobs. Theyexpressed a concern regarding previous non-transparency in therecruitment process and feelings ofbeing overlooked during oil company recruitment.

Skills and Education

Stakeholders expressed a desire forthe Project to work with the localgovernment Municipal EmploymentCenter to ensure that local peoplewith the right skills are employed bythe Project. Stakeholders felt that theProject could have a sustainable benefit by providing training andskills development, particularly incollaboration with government andother organizations.

Some stakeholders raised their con-cerns about the need for improvededucational facilities. In addition, theSoyo community highlighted thatfew training facilities existed andtherefore appealed for the Project tobuild a vocational training center,provide training and educationscholarships to assist the local community.

Agriculture

It is widely believed that existingflaring of gas has resulted in reducedcrop yields. Interviewees explainedthat they remember the yield of localfields has declined. Some stakehold-ers are convinced that the flaringprocess has seriously underminedtheir livelihoods. Many stakeholdersbelieve that cessation of flaring willenable the crops to recover and thusincrease food supplies.

Fishing

Generally, there is a concern that theProject will disrupt the activities ofthe local fishing communities andthis will have an impact on theirlivelihoods. Local groups includingPesnorte and IPA also expressedtheir concerns that the Project wouldhave an adverse affect on fish stocksand fishing activity.

Many of the fishing communitieshad very high expectations that theProject would bring employment,fishing equipment, healthcare andinfrastructure (provision of electric-ity). Some community representa-tives stated that they would supportthe Project, “provided that theyreceived benefits” from the Project.


Local Businesses

Stakeholders in Luanda were con-cerned that oil companies in Angolashould open the doors to local busi-nesses and also comply with the newlegislation regarding partnershipswith local organizations. They wenton to state that the Project shouldactively seek local companies topartner with.

Stakeholders also felt that this wouldhave a positive effect on prices,because local business developmentwould reduce reliance on expensiveimported goods and services in Soyo.

Local Economic Development

Overall, stakeholders felt thatAngola LNG can play a key role inthe economic development of Soyoparticularly through the provision ofgas and/ or electricity, and assistingin the improvement of infrastructure,land planning, information-sharingand provision of facilities. Micro-financing was also suggested duringconsultation by stakeholders inLuanda.

During baseline consultation, somestakeholders were concerned that theProject will only benefit those withinthe confines of Kwanda Base, andsuggested that the Project beexpanded more into the community,potentially having an office in Soyotown, and also accommodating visi-tors and workers in the hotels andhouses outside of the base.

Infrastructure, Utilities and Services

Stakeholders had very high expecta-tions about provision of improvedservices and utilities through theProject. Some consultees complainedthat they had “no water, schools andhospitals” and stated that to date oilcompanies had not responded todemands to improve the weak serv-ices in Soyo.

The provision of energy in the formof electricity (preferably) or gas wasraised as a key priority on severaloccasions both in Soyo and theZimbi Area. In addition, some stake-holders felt the lack of electricityseverely hinders business develop-ment and that the Project shouldaddress the poor infrastructure pro-vision in the area. A number of Soyowomen hoped that the provision ofelectricity would reduce accidents inthe home from candles and lamps.Those interviewed clearly expectedthat the Project would result inaffordable bottled gas so that theywould no longer have to collect fire-wood or buy charcoal.

Transport

The community of Songo e Tonaidentified the increase of trafficalong the heavy haul road as a concern. Few other transport con-cerns were raised during stakeholderconsultation, although this may have been because information ontraffic volumes on the roads was notpresented.


Consultation Findings on the Projectand the ESHIA Process

� The vast majority of local commu-

nity members consulted stated that

the community will support the

Project providing that sufficient

benefits are experienced in the local

communities.

� Throughout the stakeholder consul-

tations many stakeholders

expressed their appreciation that

the Project is engaging them in

workshops and also for Angola

LNG’s proactive steps to involve

external stakeholders.

� A number of participants com-

mented on the importance of involv-

ing local consultants in the Project

in order to increase Angolan capac-

ity to carry out such studies and to

ensure that the ESHIA fully takes

account of the local context.

� Some stakeholders expressed that

the industry in general, including

the Angola LNG Project, has not

been communicating effectively

with local people. Further consulta-

tion revealed that some groups had

not been informed about the scop-

ing consultation meetings in Soyo.

The perception was that the ‘com-

mon’ people did not have very much

information about the Project.

Soyo Area


Identification of Potential

The potential impacts of project con-struction and operation on the natu-ral and human environment havebeen evaluated for the following keyimpact areas:

� biodiversity;

� hydrodynamics and seabedprocesses;

� environmental quality (land-scape, visual, light, noise, airand water quality, wastes);

� fish and fisheries;

� socio-cultural impacts and com-municable diseases;

� socioeconomics (employment,livelihoods, income, local econ-omy, land use and agriculture)

� non-routine events.

Assessing Significance

The significance of impacts has beenassessed using defined objective cri-teria, derived from the following keyelements.

� compliance with relevantAngolan legislation and any rel-evant Project or industry poli-cies, environmental standards orguidelines;

� the magnitude (including dura-tion) of the change, quantifiedwhere practicable;

� the nature and level of sensitiv-ity of the receptor (physical,biological, or human); and

� the likelihood (probability) thatthe identified impact will occur.

The major categories of impact sig-nificance have been are summarizedbelow.

Impacts and MitigationImpacts and Mitigation

Positive impacts provide resources or receptors, most often people, withpositive benefits.

Negligible impact is where a resource or receptor will not be affected inany way by a particular activity or the predicted effect is indistinguishablefrom natural background variations.

A Minor impact is one where an effect will be experienced, but the impactmagnitude is sufficiently small (with or without mitigation) and well withinaccepted standards, and/or the receptor is of low sensitivity/value.

A Moderate impact is one within accepted limits and standards. Clearly todesign an activity so that its effects only just avoid a major impact is notbest practice, thus the emphasis for moderate impacts is on demonstratingthat the impact has been reduced to a level that is as low as reasonablypracticable (ALARP).

A Major impact is one where an accepted limit or standard may beexceeded, or large magnitude impacts occur to highly valued/sensitiveresource/receptors. An aim of ESHIA is to get to a position where theProject does not have any major residual impacts, certainly not ones thatwould endure into the long-term or extend over a large area. However, forsome aspects there may be major residual impacts after all practicable miti-gation options have been exhausted (i.e. ALARP has been applied; it is thefunction of the permitting authority to weigh such factors against positiveones in coming to a decision on the Project.

note that this principle was firstapplied during site selection, whenwell-informed choices allowed theProject to avoid potentially signifi-cant impacts associated with othersites. Applying a ‘hierarchy’ of miti-gation measures is one way in whichthe ESHIA and design have inter-acted. The hierarchy of mitigationmeasures for planned activities andunplanned events is outlined below.

Mitigation

The development of mitigation measures has been guided by avision and common strategicapproach. In each impact area, theProject has established objectivesthat have guided the development ofspecific mitigation measures.

An objective of the ESHIA is to iden-tify means of avoiding unnecessarydamage to environmental andsocioeconomic resources and recep-tors. In developing mitigation, thefirst focus is on measures that willprevent or minimize impacts throughthe design and management of theProject rather than relying on rein-statement and compensation meas-ures. In this respect it is important to


Mitigation Objectives:

� To contribute to long-term sustain-

able development in Angola by

promoting economic growth with

full consideration of social equity

and environmental quality.

� To work to maintain positive rela-

tionships and the support of local

community, government and

institutions and wider society.

Strategic Approach to Mitigation

� To prioritize initiatives that will i)

deliver short-term contribution to

sustainable development that pro-

vides the foundation for longer

term contributions; and/or ii) deliver

cost effective short-term contribu-

tions to sustainable development.

� To work with others in Angola

(individuals, government, private

sector, institutions) wherever

possible and appropriate to meet

common objectives.

� To build on existing projects and

programs where appropriate to

deliver the mitigation or enhance-

ment measures required for the

Project.

� To achieve buy-in with affected

communities, key decision makers

and those involved in implementa-

tion through transparent

consultation.

Avoid at Source; Reduce at Source: avoiding or reducing at source throughthe design of the Project (e.g. avoiding by siting or re-routing activity awayfrom sensitive areas or reducing by restricting the working area or changing the time of the activity).

Abate on Site: add something to the design to abate the impact (e.g. pollution control equipment, traffic controls, perimeter screening and landscaping).

Abate at Receptor: if an impact cannot be abated on-site then controlmeasures can be implemented off-site (e.g. noise barriers to minimize noiseimpact at a nearby residence or fencing to prevent animals straying ontothe site).

Repair or Remedy: some impacts involve unavoidable damage to a resource(e.g. agricultural land and forestry due to creating access, worker housingor materials storage areas) and these impacts require repair, restoration andreinstatement measures.

Compensate in Kind; Compensate Through Other Means: where other mitigation approaches are not possible or fully effective, then compensationfor loss, damage and disturbance might be appropriate (e.g. planting toreplace damaged vegetation, financial compensation for damaged crops orproviding community facilities for loss of fisheries access, recreation andamenity space). It is emphasized that compensation to individuals withresidual impacts to livelihood or quality of life will generally be non financial and will have a focus on restoring livelihoods.


The objectives of mitigation areoften established through legal orbest practice standards such as thoseof the World Bank. Where standardsare not available, objectives havebeen established by the Angola LNGProject based on international bestpractices. A goal of the Project is tobe consistent with World BankGuidelines and appropriate interna-tional industry guidelines. Severalinternational standards of goodpractice guidelines have been devel-oped for the hydrocarbon industryand these play an intrinsic part ofbasic design and construction meth-ods. Thus, the majority of mitigationmeasures fall within the upper twotiers of the hierarchy and are effectively built into the plannedoperation.

Key Residual Impacts

Complete mitigation of an impact isnot always achievable. A residualimpact is the impact that is predictedto remain once mitigation measureshave been designed into the intendedactivity.

There is an iterative element to thisprocess so residual impacts initiallyjudged to be ‘major’ or ‘moderate’,even with the application of mitiga-tion measures, will receive ongoingmanagement attention including further sequences of prediction, evaluation and additional mitigationmeasures being identified. Thisprocess will continue with the production of the ESHIA Addendumonce the Final Investment Decision(FID) has been taken and the EPCcontractor is engaged.

The residual impacts of moderatesignificance are summarized on thetables on the following four pages.

Cumulative Impacts andTheir MitigationOverviewSoyo has been designated by theGovernment of Angola as one of sixindustrial growth poles in the coun-try and the Angola LNG Project isviewed as a catalyst for this growth.While there are plans for futureindustrial projects, the nature andpotential locations of such develop-ment are not known. Given the lim-ited detail available regarding suchfuture developments, the assessmentof cumulative impacts is necessarilyof a generic nature.

In the absence of further detail, anumber of developments can behypothesized including power gener-ation, metals and chemical plants. Inaddition to the above, various secondary industries might beexpected. There is also the possibil-ity of road construction from Soyoto the south, along with airportexpansion. With this development,in-migration would escalate signifi-cantly. Over time it is likely that in-migrants would outnumber theoriginal inhabitants of the area several times over.

Types of Cumulative Impacts Relevantto the Angola LNG Project

� Accumulative: the overall effect of

different types of impacts at the

same location (for example, fugitive

dust emissions, construction noise

and construction traffic all

impacting Songo e Tona).

� Interactive: where two different

types of impacts (which may not

singly be important) react with each

other to create a new impact (that

might be important) (e.g. water

abstraction from a watercourse

might exacerbate the impacts

caused by increased sediment

loading).

� Additive or In-combination: where

impacts from the primary activity

(i.e. the construction and operation

of the Angola LNG Project) are

added to impacts from third party

activities (e.g. other major projects

in the vicinity of the Project which

are already occurring, planned or

may happen in the foreseeable

future).


Soyo Area. Such housing may beconstructed by companies oper-ating locally or by constructioncompanies looking to sell or rentto those working in the area.

� In-migration would lead to theunplanned expansion of commu-nities and pressure on local utili-ties, services and infrastructureincluding health and transport(both road and marine).

� There may also be constructionof new roads, such as the roadenvisaged between the newAngola LNG housing area southof Soyo and Kwanda Base. Suchroads, if planned well, could re-route traffic away from residen-tial areas and relieve congestion.Increased movement of peoplemay also encourage the introduc-tion of bus services.

� Some in-migration will be illegal.Illegal immigrants are likely toaccept lower pay and undertakemore dangerous and difficultjobs than locals. Vulnerablegroups may be exploited andhuman trafficking may increaseas a means to transport peopleillegally across borders.

� The demand for labor wouldencourage government and pri-vate spending on training andeducation. Increased disposableincome would stimulate the localeconomy and attract furtherinvestment and secondary busi-nesses. An increase in the supplyof goods and services in the area,as well as competition betweensuppliers, is likely to exert down-ward pressure on the currenthigh and unstable prices ofgoods and services in the area.

� Large numbers of in-migrantswho do not have shared historyand respect for local norms mayerode traditional leadership pat-terns and reduce communitycohesion. Crime may increase asa result. However, positive cul-tural exchange could also takeplace with, for example, local

Wide Scale CumulativeImpacts

The key wide scale cumulativeimpacts that may arise are related to:

� Air quality impacts (with atten-dant health implications) due toemissions of nitrogen oxidesand the formation of groundlevel ozone.

� Boost to the regional andnational economy from indus-trial developments.

� In-migration from other coun-tries in the region, particularlythe DRC and other WestAfrican countries and attendantimmigration pressures along thenorthern border of Angola.

Local Cumulative Impacts

Local cumulative impacts are morewide-ranging as local developmentwill touch on most aspects of people’slives and the environment of the SoyoArea.

The main potential areas of cumula-tive impact are related both to thephysical footprint of developmentand the influx of job-seekers to thearea. Some of the key areas are as fol-lows:

� Loss of mangrove and associatedecological function would resultfrom dredging in the Pululuchannel. A combination of land-take, increased population anddisturbance would also exertpressure on terrestrial habitatsand their fauna.

� The industrialization of the SoyoArea would result in increasedvisual impact, noise and higherlevels of environmental pollutionlocally. Air quality is likely to bea particular issue.

� In addition to the potential lossof fish if mangroves are dam-aged, the increase in local popu-

lation and marine traffic will putmore pressure on fish stocks andlocal fishing livelihoods, includ-ing disturbance to fishing fromincreased shipping activity.

� Cumulative land take impactsmay reduce overall agriculturalproduction in the Soyo Area.Without improvements in supplyinfrastructure, this could exacer-bate seasonal shortages of agri-cultural produce, which it isunderstood have occurred inrecent years in Soyo. Land takemay also require the displace-ment of agriculture or people.These losses are likely to be par-ticularly severe for any commu-nity if a substantial portion of itsland is permanently acquiredand/ or whose primary source ofincome or subsistence is derivedfrom agriculture activities.

� It is assumed that future indus-trial development will avoidimportant cultural sites, but theMermaid’s Sanctuary andMermaid’s Forest could be com-promised because of their prox-imity to zones earmarked forfuture development. Similarly,access to recreational areas suchas Sereia Beach could be furtherreduced over time.

� The development of Soyo as anindustrial town and businesscenter would encourage theGovernment to improve trans-port links and create a morefavorable business environment.This in turn would attract moreinvestment into Soyo as it wouldbe considered a more accessiblemarket with potential forgrowth. It is likely that the devel-opment of Soyo as an economichub would draw job seekersaway from rural and less devel-oped urban areas to seek oppor-tunities in Soyo.

� The increase in more highly paidworkers in the Soyo Area alsoprovides opportunities toimprove the housing stock of the



residents learning from the entre-preneurial endeavors of in-migrants from the DRC.

� New religions or branches ofestablished religions could beintroduced from neighboringcountries, though ancestor wor-ship is likely to continue.However, traditional music,dance and ritual could be influ-enced or abandoned over time infavor of the cultural practices ofother cultures (particularly west-ern culture).

� Unless new companies make sub-stantial efforts to employ andmake benefits felt locally, currentalienation (particularly amongunemployed youth) could esca-late into hostility against compa-nies and their non-local staff.

� In-migrant communities inunplanned areas are most likelyto suffer from communicable dis-eases such as TB, cholera etc.There is also the potential for anincrease in HIV/AIDS and sexu-ally transmitted infections with arising population. In-migrationalso could potentially trigger anoutbreak of a severe infectiousdisease such as Ebola, Marburg,Avian Influenza or SARS. Thereare no reports of these diseasesin Angola at present but thepotential exists for one or moreof these diseases to be intro-duced into the area.Construction activities in thearea might lead to temporarystanding water (in ditches etc.)where mosquitoes could breed,resulting in a higher prevalenceof malaria.

There are no known developmentsthat could cause cumulative impactsto the Zimbi Resource Area. Howevershould any development take placethat could impact the Zimbi ResourceArea before it has replenished itsseabed sand layer, or in a location thatcuts off the influx of sediment intothis area, then this could result in asignificant habitat change.

Management Considerationsfor Cumulative Impacts

Angola LNG has a far lower abilityto influence the wider developmentof the Soyo area that will result indi-rectly from the Project and fromindustries that may be drawn to thearea due to the presence of theProject. Here the prime responsibil-ity rests with the Government ofAngola, although there are areaswhere the Project may be able toprovide support and assistance (e.g.in the preparation of a strategicdevelopment plan for Soyo). It is certain that the Angola LNG Projectprovides a significant developmentopportunity for the Soyo Area. Thesustainability of the developmentwill in large part depend on themeasures put in place by theGovernment and other stakeholdersin the coming years.

Once further information is availableon the industrialization plans for thearea, it is strongly recommended thatthe Government of Angola under-takes a Strategic Impact Assessment.The results of this assessment wouldbe able to shape the development of astrategic plan of the Soyo Area suchthat economic benefits are deliveredin a manner that is socially equitableand that protects the environment.Angola LNG is interested in workingwith the Government of Angola tocarry out such an assessment.

Implications of Uncertainty

For this Project, much of the frontend design information that wouldusually be available for an ESHIA isconfidential at this stage. Once theEPC Contractor is enaged, theProject will issue an ESHIAAddendum to stakeholders with further project details and revisedassessments where relevant. Theaddendum will also take intoaccount the findings of additionalwork undertaken by the Project toreduce baseline data uncertainty,particularly with respect to noise, airquality and fisheries.

The other main area of uncertaintyin an ESHIA relates to the responsesof the natural and human environ-ment. Two main actions serve toreduce this:

� The establishment of a monitor-ing program will support theProject through constructionand operation. This monitoringprogram will evaluate if mitiga-tion measures are being implemented effectively and ifthe environment is respondingas predicted.

� Systematic community consulta-tion aims to clearly communi-cate to communities the activi-ties and predicted impacts of theProject and to listen andrespond to their concerns.

Approach to ESH

Management

The Angola LNG Project is system-atically managing health, environ-mental, safety, reliability by implementing a project-specificOperational Excellence ManagementSystem (OEMS) that will be devel-oped further in the context of theoverall Project Team Vision.

In the context of the Project Vision,Angola LNG has developed a set of core values. These address the following:

� Integrity, honesty and ethics inbusiness;

� Protecting people and the environment;

� Openness in relationships with others;

� Diversity and learning from thecultures in which it works andinteracts with and excellenceand continuous improvement

Angola LNG will achieve these core values through the HES Principles andExpectations and the Statement on Corporate Social Responsibility.

Environmental, Socioeconomic and Community Health ManagementEnvironmental, Socioeconomic and Community Health Management

ANGOLA LNG STATEMENT ON CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Vision Statement

Angola LNG’s approach to corporate responsibility will enable the Project to meet its

business objectives by being recognized and valued within country and the local

community for its strong environmental and social performance as well as its

support for good governance and human rights.

Principles

In attaining our vision, Angola LNG will engage a range of stakeholders, including

government, civil society, and local communities. Our approach to corporate

responsibility will support our vision by applying the following principles:

1. Implement high ethical standards.

2. Use a participatory approach to actively engage stakeholders affected by Angola

LNG’s operations and activities and use the results to inform decision-making,

implementation, and evaluation processes, including for community engagement

and other programs.

3. Assess the environmental, socioeconomic and health impacts of Angola LNG

operations and activities and determine mitigation measures before plans are

completed.

4. Maintain sound environmental practices in relation to all Angola LNG operations

and activities, including through the protection of biodiversity.

5. Promote and support good governance, respects the rule of Angolan law and is

consistent with the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights.

6. Ensure Angola LNG operations, objectives, and community engagement

programs support or complement government development plans as well as

support the effective management of resource wealth.

7. Seek to improve the quality of people’s lives in Angola and the Soyo region by

developing community engagement programs that:

� are sustainable and not dependent on long-term donor support;

� facilitate self-reliance and self-help among Project stakeholders;

� help build and nurture human capacity to enable individuals to generate

income and be economically self-sufficient;

� integrate gender and age issues to foster equitable participation and bene-

fits for all members of the community.

8. In developing community programs, Angola LNG will seek to meet or exceed

leading industry practices to work with local and national organizations, its

investors, and other companies, wherever possible, and to complement other

existing projects and initiatives.

9. Learn from every community engagement project we support through effective

monitoring and evaluation that identifies best practices and lessons learned.

10. Angola LNG will report publicly on the implementation of its corporate social

responsibility policy.

Angola LNG is providing projectmanagement and supervision for thedesign and construction of the plantand associated infrastructure for theAngola LNG Project. The main vehi-cle for converting policies and prin-ciples into action will be theEnvironmental, Socioeconomic andHealth Management Plan (ESHMP)for the Angola LNG Project. Withinthis framework, there are varyingroles and responsibilities for imple-menting management actions.

� Angola LNG will have the ulti-mate responsibility for deliver-ing ESH management measures.In this respect Angola LNG willreview and approve contractorplans for delivery of ESHIAcommitments and subsequentlyduring project execution, willreview contractor performancethrough monitoring, audits andinspection. Where the measuresset out in the ESHIA do notresult in the achievement ofobjectives, Angola LNG willwork with lead contractors asrelevant to refine the measures.

� During construction, the con-tractor will be responsible forensuring compliance with allrelevant legislation as well asadherence to all environmentalsocioeconomic and communityhealth controls and mitigationmeasures specified in the ESHIAreport. The contractor is alsoresponsible under the contractfor minimizing the potentialenvironmental, socioeconomic,safety and health impacts of allcontract activities undertakenby themselves and their subcontractors.

Health and Safety

The Angola LNG Project is commit-ted to creating an Incident andInjury-Free culture, environment andperformance for the benefit of allworkers on the Project.

Angola LNG recognizes that realiz-ing this commitment requires morethan a robust management system.Significant changes in leadership,cultures and behaviors are required.

The primary objective of AngolaLNG’s health and safety program isto provide a healthy work environ-ment to prevent injuries and reduceassociated losses to the company.This is accomplished by using a hazard communication, industrialhygiene and medical surveillanceprograms appropriate for the location that include procedures foridentification and control of work-place exposures and on-going moni-toring and surveillance of affectedpersonnel.

Angola LNG also aims to implementthe following key areas of H&S activity:

� Increase health issue awareness and

prevention.

� Communicate to a higher degree

the importance of leading indicators

as they relate to health.

� Facilitate ongoing and improved

procedures for early reporting of

discomfort by creating a culture

where care and concern leads to

open and frequent reporting

practices.

� Ensure timely response to any

industrial hygiene exposures or

concerns.

� Manage all potential injury/illness

cases to ensure minimal pain and

suffering to the affected employee.

� Review all facility designs to ensure

that best practice health designs

are used.

� Incorporate safety in designs for

new facilities.

� Develop employee sampling pro-

grams, an employee biomedical

surveillance program, on-site expo-

sure evaluation process, data analy-

sis and reporting capabilities.

� Communicate corporate HIV / AIDS

policy and the Sub-Saharan Africa

Regional Malaria Control policy.

� Establish a monitoring schedule and

methodology to determine

employees' on-the-job exposure to

potentially hazardous substances or

conditions.

� Establish procedures to be followed

if exposure exceeds specified levels.

These measures will be addressed asdesign proceeds, contractors areappointed and detailed workingmethods are developed. Althoughmodifications to these measures areenvisaged, there will be one overrid-ing principle; that none of the meas-ures identified in the ESHIA will beomitted or diluted without recourseto a robust assessment process. Thefigure below summarizes how anESHIA commitment has a lifecyclewhereby it is reviewed, incorporatedinto the ESHMP, contractors’ proce-dures and ultimately implemented.Implementation itself is not the finalact since audit, inspection, monitor-ing and reporting are also involved.

The Project commitments are sum-marized in a Commitments Registerat the end of this document.

The ESHMP

Overview

In the course of the ESHIA, Projectdesign decisions have been made taking account of the need to avoid,minimize and reduce negative envi-ronmental, socioeconomic and health impacts, and the opportunityto enhance positive impacts. Theseare reflected in the ESHIA as a set ofcommitments. To ensure that thecommitments are managed fully andthat unforeseen or unidentifiedimpacts of the Project are detectedand resolved, an integral part of theESHIA is the development of theESHMP.

The ESHMP will be supplementedwith additional requirements as theFEED competition is concluded,detailed design proceeds and as con-tractors are selected and developtheir working methods and proce-dures for the Project. In this respectit is a living document.

The key component of the ESHMP isthe register of commitments made bythe Project as reported in the ESHIA.For each commitment, the ESHMPsets out:

� a comprehensive listing of themitigation measures (actions)that Angola LNG will implement;

� suggested designation of responsibility for ensuring fullimplementation of that action;

� the parameters that will bemonitored to track how effectively actions and mitiga-tion are implemented; and

� the timing for implementationof the action to ensure that theobjectives of mitigation are fully met.


The ESHMP will include:

� a register of legal and other require-

ments (Project Standards);

� a register of the ESHIA commit-

ments;

� subsidiary implementation plans for

specific issues as required;

� a register of monitoring require-

ments; and

� an overview of Angola LNG and

Contractors’ ESH training program.

Stakeholder Engagement

Angola LNG will continue to engagewith stakeholders throughout Projectconstruction and operation.Communication with local commu-nities and other local stakeholderswill be a key part of this engagementprocess and is one where AngolaLNG and the contractors will needto work closely together during theconstruction period.

Recommendations forEnvironmental andCommunity Investment

Opportunities for investment in con-servation and biodiversity have beenraised by consultees during thedevelopment of the ESHIA, includingresearch projects on the local estuar-ine environment as well as manage-ment plans for specific animals (e.g. marine turtles, manatees).

The Project has undertaken a partici-patory needs assessment in parallelwith the ESHIA and, as a result, hasidentified a number of priority areasfor investment. In order to selectprojects that deliver sustainable benefits, a number of ‘operatingprinciples’ are being developed. The ‘operating principles’ of theCommunity Investment Program willinclude the following.

� All projects financed (in part orwholly) by Angola LNG will beidentified through some type ofconsultative process to ensurethat they address priorities identified by the intended beneficiaries.

� The emphasis will be on collab-orating with local organizations(including NGOs, communityorganizations, government,businesses, etc.) in developingand implementing projects).

� The community investment program will focus on projectsthat enhance peoples’ liveli-hoods, the local economy andthe capacity of local govern-ment and local residents to participate effectively in thechanging environment.

Opportunities for CommunityInvestment associated with the fol-lowing areas will be considered:

1. Families and Health:

2. Education and Training

3. Small/Medium EnterpriseDevelopment

4. Micro-credit

5. Basic Infrastructure associatedwith Education and Sanitation

6. Agricultural and FishingProjects

The development and initial imple-mentation of the CommunityInvestment Program will begin whenthe Project co-investors make a FinalInvestment Decision (FID) to awardcontracts for construction of theLNG plant and related facilities. FIDis expected in late 2006.

Fishing Village


In addition to resolving these areasof uncertainty, the Project isapproaching the critical stage ofimplementing the ESH ManagementSystem. The robustness of this sys-tem will be fundamental in ensuringthe rigorous implementation of man-agement measures by the Project, itscontractors and sub-contractors.

In addition to this ESHIA and itsplanned addendum, it is envisagedthat additional ESHIAs will beundertaken and presented toAngolan authorities for any worksuch as housing facilities for the con-struction and operational phases andpossible dedicated road and bridgefrom the housing facilities toKwanda Base.

Conclusions

The Angola LNG project, as anylarge industrial project, has thepotential to cause both negative andpositive impacts. The Project haseither identified or committed toimplement measures that will man-age these impacts within acceptablelimits and in nearly all cases hasreduced them to ALARP. Threeissues are highlighted for furtherconsideration by the Project wherethe gap between community expecta-tions and Project commitments couldresult in an erosion of local supportof the Project.

� Capacity Building andRecruitment. Employment is akey local expectation that theProject has responded to incommitments related to capacitybuilding and local recruitment.However, opportunities for fur-ther increasing local contentthrough the delivery of well tar-geted, early training are not asyet being realized.

� Closed Worker Housing duringConstruction. Keeping themajority of the constructionworkforce in a closed housingarea is an important measure tomanage many environmental,social and health impacts.However, it is recommendedthat the Project engages morewidely with the local leadershipon this issue, in light of therepeated calls for a housingstrategy that is more integratedinto the community. It is alsorecommended that the Projectidentifies ways through whichthe community could benefitfrom end use of constructionbuildings or materials.

� Opportunities to improve local facilities and health careservices. The Project is consider-ing such opportunities in the context of high local expecta-tions. It is recommended thisprogram explores in detail thepotential interface with Projectactivities during both construc-tion and operation such thatpotential opportunities for thecommunity can be identifiedand developed.

This ESHIA report is part of a wider,ongoing process being taken forwardby Angola LNG to effectively manage the impacts of the Project.This ESHIA report has identified a number of areas where further workis required before a full picture ofthe likely impacts of the Project canbe completed. The key areas ofuncertainty, which will be addressedin an ESHIA Addendum, are:

� detailed design and its implications on environmentalquality;

� employment levels and capacitybuilding during construction;and

� ongoing additional data gathering.



Printed copies of the ESHIADisclosure Report will be available at:

� Ministry of Petroleum

� Ministry of Urbanism andEnvironment

� Additional sites to be identifiedon the Angola LNG website and in newspaper publicationsannounding public consultations
