Private Reserve of Natural Heritage Fazenda Bulcao (Aimores / MG);
Goytacazes National Forest (Linhares/ES).
The aim of the studies is to identify and measure the physical, biological and socioeconomic impacts caused by the tailings mud originating from the Fundao dam collapse, in these Conservation Units, in order to later propose necessary remedial measures.

Sent by the EKOS Institute to the Renova Foundation and participants in the diagnostic workshops, report of the studies of environmental impact assessment in the Conservation Units (CUs) - CONTINENTAL 2. These are: Natural Monument Ibituruna Peak (Governador Valadares/MG), Special Protection Area Ibituruna Peak (Governador Valadares/MG), Private Reserve of Natural Patrimony Sete de Outubro (Conselheiro Pena/MG), Sete Saloes State Park (Counselheiro Pena, Itueta, Resplendor, Santa Rita do Itueto/MG), Private Reserve of Natural Patrimony Bulcao Farm (Aimores/MG) and National Forest of Goytacazes (Linhares/ES). The aim of the studies is to identify and measure the physical, biological and socioeconomic impacts caused by tailings mud - originating from the Fundao dam collapse - in these Conservation Units, in order to later propose the necessary reparative measures.
The CIF revised the definition of the Program, in compliance with Technical Note No. 16/2018/CTBio/DIBIO/ICMBio* dated 10/01/2018. In this review, the resolutions and other documents that have emerged since the last review were updated (information on actions taken and in progress), timeframes, adequacy of the analytical framework of the programs, and review of indicators and costs.

Environmental impact assessment studies were initiated in the other Continental and Maritime Conservation Units (continental 1 and coastal 1 and 2). The objective of these studies is to identify and measure the physical, biological and socioeconomic impacts caused by the tailings mud originating from the Fundao dam collapse in these Conservation Units, in order to later propose reparative measures considered necessary.
Signing of the Cooperation Agreement with ICMBio (Chico Mendes Institute of Biodiversity Conservation) for the consolidation of the Wildlife Refuge (REVIS) in Santa Cruz. ICMBio will elaborate the Terms of Reference, detailing the actions foreseen in the Work Plan, evaluating and approving projects, technical reports and deliveries of products and/or services adhering to the Terms of Reference. It is the responsibility of the Renova Foundation to present and implement all the projects required to execute the Work Plan in accordance with the Terms of Reference.

Initiated on 10/23, environmental impact assessment studies in six continental Conservation Units (UCs) directly or indirectly affected by the dam collapse. These are: Natural Monument Ibituruna Peak (Governador Valadares/MG), Special Protection Area Ibituruna Peak (Governador Valadares/MG), Private Reserve of Natural Patrimony Sete de Outubro (Conselheiro Pena/MG), Sete Saloes State Park (Counselheiro Pena, Itueta, Resplendor, Santa Rita do Itueto/MG), Private Reserve of Natural Patrimony Bulcao Farm (Aimores/MG) and National Forest of Goytacazes (Linhares/ES). The studies are being conducted by the EKOS Institute and aim to identify and measure the physical, biological and socioeconomic impacts caused by tailings mud - resulting from the Fundao dam collapse - in these Conservation Units, in order to later propose the reparative measures considered needed. The initial stage of the study consists of the collection of secondary data, such as socioenvironmental and socioeconomic information of these CUs. The information gathered so far by the Renova Foundation has been forwarded to the EKOS Institute. If new information arises, it will also be made available.

Finalized the process of contracting companies that will carry out environmental impact assessment studies in the 40 continental (MG and ES) and coastal (ES and BA) Conservation Units, identified in TTAC Clause 181 and CIF Resolution 36/2016 for having been directly or indirectly affected by the event. The objective of these studies is to identify and measure the physical, biological and socioeconomic impacts caused by the tailings mud from the Fundao dam collapse in these Conservation Units, in order to later propose the necessary reparative measures. Initiation of studies is scheduled for the end of Oct/2018.

On 08/31/18, it was agreed with the CIF that the work plan for the consolidation of the Doce River State Park (PERD), prepared by the IEF and sent to the Renova Foundation on 07/30/18, should be reviewed. The consolidation of this Conservation Unit (CU) complies with TTAC Clause 182 and implies ensuring that: (i) the CU achieves a minimum level of management effectiveness, according to third-party evaluation, (ii) development and implementation of its first management plan, (iii) provision of resources for the acquisition of goods and equipment to achieve its established objectives. After the review, the work plan will be forwarded for analysis by the Renova Foundation and the Technical Board of Conservation and Biodiversity (CTBio) and submitted again for approval by the CIF.

The work plan, drawn up by the IEF, was sent to the Renova Foundation for the consolidation of the Doce River State Park (PERD), in compliance with Clause 182 of the TTAC. The consolidation of this Conservation Unit (CU) implies the following guarantees: (i) that the CU reaches a minimum level of management effectiveness, according to an evaluation carried out by third parties; (ii) the preparation and implementation of its first management plan; (iii) the provision of resources for the acquisition of goods and equipment to achieve its objectives. After analysis and approval of the FR and Technical Board CTBio, the work plan will be submitted for the approval of the CIF.
