has been drafted according to semi detail soil survey by PARAM Agricultural Soil Survey (M) Sdn. Bhd-Nov 2008 and HCV
Report by CV POLITO Const. the identification is conducted by the Statistic Data Processing Minamas Research Centre.

Based on sloping level information, PT. PPP and PT PSK have a sloping data as below:
Sloping level (%) Description

In order to maintain the sloping area, the certificate owner has had the maintenance strategy as below:
Conducting short review on the replanting impact on environment and social, which conducted by an independent
consultant in 2012. The review has several recommendations such as shut down the replanting activity in the area
with a sloping level more than 40% and for the area <40%, there are several efforts for maintenance such as by
establish terrace ring, hoof, etc.
There is a handling for fragile and marginal soil in 2013, such as establishing the terrace ring, hoof, silt pit, silt pit
maintenance, u shape midrib, installation of erosions control, cultivate the nephorlephis plant, reduce the pesticide
usage and cultivate the vertiver.
There is a monitor progress for sloping area maintenance as well as the erosion poles monitoring, contour midrib,
cultivate the nephorlephis plant, hoof, cultivate forest plant and fruit plant, cultivate bamboo as well as the vertiver
grass.

The monitoring for sloping area management is available for period of August 2013 in Tamiang and BAE which covers an
area of 541.95 Ha, the erosion poles have been installed for about 33 poles (target are 35 poles), midrib management,
planted nephrolepis in an area of 199.5 Ha, improvement of terrace ring of hoof for an area of 407 ha, reboisation/cultivate
forest plantation for about 560 trees, cultivate bamboo and vertiver grass that covers an area of 83.64 Ha. The monitoring for
sloping area management has been conducted until December 2013 in TME and BAE, with several results, such as erosion
poles installation for about 33 poles, contour midrib management, cultivate the nephrolepis in an area of 303.13 ha,
improvement ofhoof380 ha, cultivate forest plantation/ fruit for about 560 trees and cultivate bamboo in an area of 8364 Ha.

Monitoring for the speed of erosions was conducted every month and the annual recapitulation is available. For instance, the
measurement for the speed of erosions in 2013 in 10 Block, which every block consists of 3 poles. For instance: Block D005
stake number 13 with a sedimentation number per year is 3.6 cm, Block D010 stake 30 with a total sedimentation 36 cm and
Block D007 stake number 19 is 0 cm.

Based on field visit to block C002 Batang Ara Estate, the total sloping area in this block is 20 Ha (33.4%), during the
surveillance, there was an ongoing process for terrace ring construction for about 50%, hoof construction for about 40%,
nephrolepis cultivation about 40% and U Shape midrib about 40%.

Certificate owner has had the program as well as the realization for road construction for period 2013-2014, such as:
