the healthy palm oil growing in order to achieve optimum FFB production, and to increase immunity of palm oil to pest and disease.

2. Bringback the soil nutrient that was carried over to FFB processes at POM, by applied FB into land (1 ton EFB was contains nutrient of 3 kg urea, 0,6 kg CIRP, 12 kg MOP dan 2 kg Kiserit in approxi-mately)

3. EFB application very useful as mulsa, so can increase soil humidity and weeds growing will be op-pressed and also to prevent erosion of soil surface

CR4.3 During this surveillance audit, No changes related soil map. The company has soil map scale 1:10,000 com-pleted with geographical coordinate reference for each section (Afdeling I until VIII and Afdeling Plasma). The maps show that there are six soil map units within the estate area, which are red yellowish podsolic, brown yellowish podsolic, red yellow podsolic, alluvial grayish brown, peat soil association with alluvial watery and organosol (peat dept 0,5 – 2 meters). The company has a peatland distribution maps for nucleus and plasma estate with a scale of 1: 10,000. The Company has determined the peg mounting points representing subsidence depth levels of low, moderate to high for all blocks. Source of peat land distribution and its characteristic comes from field research (a semi detail soil survey).

In addition to soil map that describe the distribution of fragile soil (peat land), PT RMM also has topographic map describing slope classes in the entire concession area. The company has already strategy to maintain the estate with the critically condition i.e. estate with slopes above certain limitas. Based on the slope map, 77.05% of area (3,818.40 hectare) has a contour flat (slope 0-8°), 14.66% (726.32 hectares) has a contour ramps (slope 8-15°), 6.45% or 319.77 hectare has choppy (15-25°), 1.78% or 88.16 hectare of hilly slope (25-45°) and 0.07% (3.35 hectare) has mountain slope (>45°). The steeper area found in Afdeling IV, V, VI, VII, and some erosion control markers has been installed for monitoring the erosion, for example in block F2 Afdeling VI there are 5 erosion monitoring markers in-stalled. Erosion monitoring is done every month and recorded. As observation: this data ought to be compiled and used for develop a strategy for crop man-agement on sloping land, and as the observation, in the future strategy of planting on slopes should be made based on soil characteristics, slope and erosion of data.

The Company has procedures SOP.Dir.TAN-02 rev. 0, the date of issue July 11, 2011 which regulates the zero burning for new planting, replanting and conversion planting. In the procedure have noticed the princi-ples of soil and water conservation, for example, noted that in areas with a slope of 10-15 degrees made in-dividual terrace, for areas with a slope of 15-45 degrees made contour terraces to prevent erosion. Land with a slope> 45 ° is not planted. The company also planted Pueraria javanica, Colopogonium muconoides, Mucuna cochinchinensis, Centrosema pubescens, and Mucuna sp and Mucuna bracthtiata to reduce sur-face erosion when plants are juvenile.

The company also has a soil and water conservation procedures SOP-05-Dir.NKT issue dated 1 April 2014. The procedure regulate in ways that prevent or minimize erosion by planting legumes, drainage ditches, wa-ter holes, terrace, hoof, mulch, etc., as well as erosion prevention techniques.

The Company has a procedure to repair and maintenance of road, SOP.Dir.TAN-16 rev 00 dated July 11, 2011. According to the procedure, road maintenance done by maintaining the surface layer of the road and road ditches on both sides of the road.

PT RMM has HCV management plan (Monitoring and Management Plan) which decribes the activities planned for each identified HCV such as training and communication to employee, installation of boundary stone and sign board for HCV areas, security patrol for HCV areas, monitoring of protected fauna regularly, monitoring of the ecosystem of river and conservation areas. It has been implemented for all plans. HCV condition of the area is still good, especially in riparian areas that are still covered by natural vegetation, and fertilizer and chemist treatment does not applied. To prevent inappropriate hunting and collecting activities within their area (block of conservation VIII), the company established a mechanism for illegal fishing and hunting where company also made sign boards and has periodic patrolling programmes by security. The organization has produced posters and signs warning or signboard of the presence of protected species in conservation areas of block E22 – afdeling 5 and has carried out socialization to employee, including posters distributed to the community Besides that, there are another poster as like prohibit-ed washing and shower in rivers, prohibited of using poison or electricity in fishing, prohibited of spray-ing/chemist and fertilizing use of anorganic fertilizer in riparian or water source, prohibited of hunting of protected fauna, prohibited of harvesting trees in conservation areas and signboard of HCV areas. PT RMM has monitoring plan of HCV areas year 2016. Monitoring on the species is done, monitoring on HCV area is carried out. Monitoring species is conducted every day in every section with report are comprehensive. PT RMM has been monitoring the area of high conservation value based on a monitoring program area of high conservation value. but PT RMM not conduct a review of its effectiveness on a regular basis and the results of the review as an ingredient for preparing a monitoring program next year. This condition raised as non-conformity (RSPO00611). CR5.3 Waste is reduced, recycled, re-used and disposed in an environmentally and socially responsible man-ner.

and particulate as 62 µg/Nm3. The company has list of all identified polluting activities year 2016.

Sources of GHG emissions were identified and documented in the Procedure of GHG measurement and mitigation effort (SOP-Dir.GRK SOP-01 dated 2 September 2013 rev 00) and in the document "Identification of Environmental Aspects and Impacts”. Emission sources identified are :

a. Methane gas emission from waste water pond (effluent pond)

b. Usage of fossil fuel for power generator and vehicle

c. Emission from power generator, Boiler, and vehicle

d. Usage of chemical fertilizer and pesticide

e. Electricity usage

f. Emission from peat-land

The company has a document “Report of GHG Emission based on RSPO GHG Calculator “ using the data in 2015. Report GHG calculation uses standardized calculations by the RSPO standard, where the standard is already taking into account the sources of emissions from palm oil mills, land acquisition, the process of fertilization, the use of fossil fuels, greenhouse gas absorption by plant oil palm, conservation land (HCV area) and emissions from peatlands. However GHG uptake of HCV areas can not be calculated because there is no technical data regarding GHG absorption of any type of existing vegetation in HCV area.

The treatment methodology for POME is sedimentation cycle method using 10 ponds consisting of a Cooling pond 1, acidification pond 1 and 2, primary anaerobic pond 1 and 2, secondary anaerobic pond 1 and 2, facultative pond 1 and 2 and an aerobic pond before drained for river as permit from regent of Mandailing Natal No. 658.31/284/K/2014 dated April 7, 2014.

Activities of drained carried out since the beginning of April 2004. Observation has been made for con-tinuing improvement on GHG reduction mitigation. Mitigation plan should be made based on clear signifi-cance analysis on every emission source including peat land as stated in procedure No SOP Dir-GRK-01 regarding to the GHG calculation and GHG reduction mitigation. Mitigation plan also should contain reduc-tion target and timeline,i.e.

1. Maintain level of water in peat-land area/canal less than 60 cm from ground level 2. Optimize usage of shell and fiber for boiler fuel to replace fossil fuel at least 80% from potential ener-

gy 3. Usage of empty bunch compos to reduce usage of chemical fertilizer at least 10,121 MT/year 4. To control volume of liquid waste which is produce less than 19,500 M3/year Company has calculate their GHG emission, using RSPO calculator version 2.1.1 for year 2015 ac-tivities, here the calculation result; - Final emission per product o CPO = 0,29 tCO2e/t product o PK = 0.29 tCO2e/t product - Overall emission summary o Total field emission (tCO2e) = -1,544.97.77 o Total mill emission (tCO2e) = 7,323.16 - Emission from Palm Kernel Crusher o PK from own mill = 825.17 (tCO2e) o PK from other source = 0 Fuel consumption = 0 Compliance status : Non Compliance
