Alcoa Anglesea‟s EPA licence includes provision for such conditions.

Business Clean Up Day is part of Clean Up Australia Day‟s national clean up campaign and is described as “a great opportunity for Australian businesses to clean up, fix up and conserve their environment, both in their own workplace and beyond”. Over 330 businesses across Australia took part in the event which not only has a great environmental impact, but also provides a great team building exercise. Event Organiser and BATA President, Raylene Fordham said that most of the rubbish was removed from the east side of the river. Some of the more interesting items included an old bike, a car tyre and a matching set of tennis shoes! In past years, Alcoa Anglesea has participated in Business Clean Up day, but it has typically been at a location close to our site – either along Camp Road or Coalmine Road. Our thanks go to Alcoa Anglesea volunteers - Rob McDonald, Phil Stafford, Bernie Simmons, Anthea Doran, Elise Jeffery, Stephanie Pearce and Nicci Marris. Nice work! Business and Tourism Anglesea (BATA) organised the activity in Anglesea this year. It was held on Tuesday March 1 and participants included our own employees, local traders and other community volunteers. It was a good opportunity for Alcoa employees to meet other members of the local community and hopefully have a bigger impact on the environment through working in a large team. All rubbish was segregated into recyclables and nonrecyclables as it was collected. The waste was predominantly recyclable rubbish, with bottles and cans making up the vast majority of the rubbish. All volunteers enjoyed a sausage sizzle lunch, which provided a chance to recharge everyone‟s batteries and to mingle with other community members. ANIMAL OF THE ANGLESEA HEATH GOLDEN ORB SPIDER (Nephila edulis) Size: Colour: Distribution: Habitat: females body 2 - 4 cm, male 5mm silvery-grey to plum coloured bodies and brown-black, often yellow banded legs. males red-brown to brown in colour orb weaving spiders are found throughout Australia dry open forests and woodlands, coastal sand dune shrubland and mangrove habitat The Golden Orb Weavers build large, semi-permanent orb webs. The strong silk has a golden sheen. These spiders remain in their webs day and night and gain some protection from bird attack by the presence of a „barrier network‟ of threads on one or both sides of the orb web. Sometimes their strong webs manage to trap small birds or bats, and the spider will wrap them and feed upon them. More common prey items include flies, beetles, locusts, wood moths and cicadas. ...GOLDEN ORB SPIDER ANGLESEA ENVIRONMENT REPORT FEBRUARY 2011 LAND RAINFALL (mm) Long Term Average 2011 Rainfall JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUNE JULY AUG SEPT OCT NOV DEC 42.0 42.2 40.8 52.0 59.2 59.4 62.6 67.2 66.6 70.7 55.9 46.0 151.6 38.2 WATER TOWN WATER USE (ML) 2000 2009 2010 JAN FEB Amenity Water Use 1.0 0.2 0.3 0.2 0.1 Process Water use 2.0 1.1 0.6 0.6 1.1 MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC AIR GREENHOUSE GAS (GHG) TOTAL (Mt) & GHG EMISSION EFFICIENCY (t/mwH) GHG t GHG t/MWh 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 f orecast 1227846 1265103 1504860 1448793 1468098 1309674 1491486 1396713 1452351 1361632 1442450 1436297 1.24 1.19 1.21 1.21 1.20 1.21 1.20 1.18 1.23 1.22 1.20 1.23 ANGLESEA ENVIRONMENT REPORT FEBRUARY 2011 environmental improvement Environmental Management Targets February 2011 Total 2011 Forecast 2011 Target Reportable Environmental Incidents (#) 0 0 0 0 Env Near Miss vs Env Incident Run Rate (ratio) 1.5 2.75 2.75 3 Monthly EHS ASAT Audit Completion (%) 100 100 100 90 February 2011 Total 2011 Forecast 2011 Target Ambient SO2 (no. readings > 200ppb) 0 0 0 0 Stack SO2 (no. hrs > 100kg/min) 0 0 0 0 1.23 1.23 1.23 1.20 0 0 0 0 February 2011 Total 2011 Forecast 2011 Target Town Water (ML) 1.2 2.0 12 14.0 Bore + Mine Water (ML) 321 637 3822 4000 February 2011 Total 2011 Forecast 2011 Target Waste to Landfill (t) 0 0 0 8.0 Solid Prescribed Waste to Landfill (t) 0 0 0 0 Air Emission Targets GHG Efficiency (t CO2 e/MWh) Opacity (10 min av > 0.25g/m3 norm ops) Water Targets Waste Targets Mine Rehabilitation Targets 2011 Total 2011 Target 2010 Area to Clear (ha) 0 5.0 2010 Area to Rehabilitate (ha) 0 >5.0 OUR ENVIRONMENT AND OUR EMPLOYEE Hi Anthea! Why did Alcoa Anglesea participate in the Business Clean Up Day? Alcoa participates in Business Clean Up Day most years. In the past we have done our activities on Coalmine Road and Camp Road which lead to our site. We are a member of Business and Tourism Anglesea and this year we received an email invitation from the President and event organiser, Raylene Fordham, inviting us to participate in their activity. What was the most rewarding part? It was great to see the big piles of rubbish that were collected by everyone and to know we‟d helped restore the area following the peak summer tourism period. Are there any other community working bees planned for 2011? Through our ACTION grant program we fund 3 community working bees a year where Alcoa employees work with a community group on a project. We are still finalising this program for 2011, although one activity we will be doing is building a cubby house in the playground of the new Primary School site. We also usually do at least one weeding activity a year in the Anglesea Heath or on our lease land to remove non indigenous plant species.
