PERU LNG 2021 Annual Report

ANNUAL REPORT PERU LNG 2021 CHAPTER 6 WORKING WITH RESPONSIBILITY AND COMMITMENT PARTICIPATORY SOCIO-ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAMME (PMSAP) The marine ecosystem monitoring programme is being implemented in the direct area of influence of the PERU LNG port facility. Monitoring takes place every six months (Autumn and Spring) to evaluate the effects of building and operating the terminal on the marine environment. The participatory nature of this monitoring means that representatives (overseers) from associations of artisanal fishermen in the direct area of influence of the PERU LNG plant and the environmental authorities responsible for our activities (OEFA, ANA, DICAPI, MEM, PRODUCE, DIREPRO-ICA), were present while environmental quality samples were taken of water, marine sediments and marine biodiversity (plankton, benthic macroinvertebrates and fish). The overseers accompany the monitoring effort and are responsible for supervising and observing possible social and environmental impacts relating to the port operations. If the overseers find anything, they are recorded and reported to their communities and to the company. PERU LNG analyses the information collected during the monitoring work and takes such corrective action as may be required, thus continually improving the company's operations. Due to the state of emergency declared by the Peruvian State to address the COVID-19 pandemic, fewer representatives of the authorities took part in the monitoring effort in 2021. AUDITS AND RELATIONSHIP WITH THE STATE Audits of PERU LNG by the environmental authorities help to maintain high operating standards and to confirm compliance with legal requirements. In 2021 the Environmental Evaluation and Monitoring Body (OEFA) carried out an audit of the pipelines to verify an allegation that farm land in the community of Vinchos, adjacent to WP 113+180 had been adversely affected. The Supervising Body for Investment in Energy And Mining (Osinergmin) also made a total of 57 visits, 30 to the plant and 27 to the pipelines. The auditors made no observations. 80
