    PART 4 ASSESSMENT FINDINGS

    4.1 Lead Assessor’s Summary and Recommendation for Certification

    The mill and supply base estates as detailed 1.5 and 1.7.1 above respectively were visited and the assessment team carried out field, office, facilities, store and document assessments of compliance for all the RSPO principles and criteria. Common systems were identified and specific evidence was recorded for individual estate and mill. Stakeholder consultation and interview involved internal and external stakeholders. Interviews with Estate Managers, Mill Manager, committee and members of workers union took place in both formal and informal environments and worker interviews were conducted in all estates and in the mill. Subsequent to the stakeholders’ meeting, the surrounding communities were visited so as to capture more feedback from the stakeholders. There were no complaints received during the field assessment and during the meeting and interviews with the external stakeholders. Up to the time of writing this report, there were neither feedbacks nor comments received from the other external stakeholders and community leaders. The mill is fully verified for RSPO SCCS system verification and it is found to be complied. See table 5. With full commitment towards RSPO P&C and RSPO SCCS implementation, it is therefore the recommendation of the lead assessor that: To sustain the certificate of compliance.

    ASA 1 5.6 The management has identified the pollution and emission for each operating unit which are documented and mapped as per following category, such as sources of pollution and emmission in mill which includes fibre, blower, boiler drain, boiler dust, Druer solid, Genset, Fuel Tank, Hazardous waste, POME, EFB, Claybath drain, shell, Chimney boiler, smoke density, noise, liquid waste, and solid waste . Monitoring of pollution and emissions in mill conducted every month for BOD and smoke density and noise conducted per semester. e.g: Average of smoke density from Boiler 1 and 2 in April 2012 (11.03% and 16.29%), which according regulation allowed less than 30%. Waste water analysis also was conducted regularly, e.g. by Sucofindo on 17 April 2012, which result of analysis show COD level 288.26 mg/L (maksimum allowed less than 350), BOD level 88.70 mg/L (maximum allowed less than 100 mg/L.

Effort to reduce pollution and emission is are documented, such as collecting emplacement waste to TPA (Tempat Pembuangan Akhir), segregation of organic and inorganic waste, containment bund of waste and planting trees to reduce pollution. Records on treatment of POME captured by the quantity per day and monthly summary basis. Out of 11 pond, 10 ponds are conventional IPAL and the remaining 1 pond is for biogas plant to capture methane gas. There is plan to use the aero- flow system to reduce BOD level below 100mg/L. Land application were carried out by applying Decanter solid drier to prevent liquid waste. Quality analysis were carried out on monthly basis.
