CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Study The expansion and improvement of Presidente Nicolau Lobato International Airport (hereinafter re- ferred to as ‘Dili Airport’) was stated in the Timor-Leste Strategic Development Plan 2011-2013, with the goal of lengthening the runway to accept large-size aircraft such as A330 ICAO Code E. Up to now, there are studies on related development projects by International Finance Corporation (IFC), Asian Development Bank (ADB), and Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
IFC carried out the study for Public-Private Partnership (PPP) for the Presidente Nicolau Lobato Inter- national Airport Project in 2013 to promote the PPP project of Dili Airport development to private in- vestors. The IFC’s study proposed several options for the development of the runway, including exten- sion and widening in phased development.
ADB carried out the study “Timor-Leste Transport Sector Master Plan” in 2015. This study, in the avi- ation subsector, on the extension of the Runway End Safety Area (RESA) in Dili Airport without con- struction of seawall was suggested as a Priority Transport Project.
In 2016, JICA carried out “The Project for Study on Dili Urban Master Plan” (hereinafter referred to as ‘JICA Dili Urban M/P Project’). This study proposed to extend the runway length of Dili Airport to 2,100 m in a short-term project and to 2,500 m in a long-term project based on the abovementioned IFC’s development option.
In 2018, JICA commenced the “Preparatory Survey on the Terminal Area Improvement” (hereinafter referred to as ‘JICA Airport Study’). It includes the construction of new passenger terminal building, cargo terminal building, apron expansion, control tower, and other facilities in the airport. However, runway improvement is not included. The survey was completed in March 2019.
1.2 Objective of the Study The objective of the “Preliminary Assessment for Dili Airport Runway Upgrading Project” (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Services’) in this Technical Assistance is to undertake a pre-feasibility assessment on the available options for the extension of the current runway, with the goal of presenting a consolidated report to the Government of Timor-Leste (GoTL) for approval. Therefore, in the Services, the following are to be done: (i) Review the prior IFC and JICA studies undertaken with GoTL; (ii) Further develop the existing available analysis on the various proposed runway extension options, and if necessary, develop new options. Analysis shall also include treatment options for taxiways, aprons, and physical safety and security installations directly linked to the runway; (iii) Conduct pre-feasibility study level safeguards assessments of the various options clearly identifying the most preferred and least preferred options from the environmental safeguard and involuntary resettle- ment safeguard perspectives; (iv) Conduct stakeholder workshop and analysis as inputs to items (ii) and (iii) and build consensus around the emerging preferred option; and (v) Support GoTL in the next step of implementing the runway expansion project. The Study Team will also provide necessary support and inputs to ADB during consultations with the GoTL. 1.3 Study Area The study area is shown in Figure 1.1.

Due to this, they have two statistics, one for GDP including oil and another for GDP excluding oil.
Looking at the statistics provided by the Ministry of Finance of Timor-Leste, while the GDP excluding oil is increasing steadily after 2006, the GDP including oil shows a large fluctuation. This is caused by the changes of oil prices and volume of extracted oil and gas. It is predicted that the gap in proportion between the GDP including oil and the GDP excluding oil will be reduced in the future. The GDP ex- cluding oil is expected to have positive growth. One the other hand, the GDP including oil will experi- ence negative growth.
In this project, the GDP excluding oil is adopted because it is difficult to predict the development trend of the oil and gas industry. It is unlikely that aviation demands are directly affected by the decrease in recent GDP including oil due to a large increase in aviation demands. The GDP excluding oil is adopted in the following aviation demand forecast study.

On the other hand, the main import products are fuel, like diesel or Jet A1 fuel, motor spirit, electrical machinery and apparatus, and grain. As for exports, re-exports show a large fluctuation, and exports of domestic products, mainly coffee, are relatively stable.

In this situation, the aviation sector has an important role in providing means of transportation to connect cities, people, and goods.
In Timor-Leste, there are eight airports/air strips, and three of them are the major ones, namely the Presidente Nicolau Lobato International Airport in Dili, the Cakung Airport in Baucau, and the Suai Airport in Suai. Only Dili Airport and Baucau/ Cakung Airport are designed as international airports. All airports, including Dili Airport, are not permitted for night operations. However, night operations only for emergency purposes are permitted by the government.

fluctuation is observed. The number of passengers is steadily growing with little fluctuation and has reached 275,000 in 2018, and the international passenger movements accounted for more than 90% of the total passengers. After the volume of cargo significantly decreased after the peak of 470 tons in 2012, it increased after 2014 and reached 326 tons in 2017. The significant drop in 2013 is considered to be caused by the cease of UN Integrated Mission in Timor-Leste (UNMIT). In the recent five years, the volume of cargo for unloading accounted for a larger volume over total handling volume of cargo.

The IFC study was the first comprehensive study which included the land side area/terminal area and air side area/runway area for Dili Airport from 2013 to 2015. ADB conducted a transport sector master plan which covered the Dili Airport improvement following the IFC master plan from 2014 to 2015. JICA conducted the Dili Urban Master Plan (hereinafter referred to as ‘JICA Dili Urban M/P’) wherein the Dili Airport was to be reviewed based on the IFC study and the ADB transport sector master plan from 2014 to 2016 and the detailed study of the terminal area for the grant aid project from 2018 to 2019. It is the latest study on the Dili Airport, which is known as “the Project for Improvement of Presidente Nicolau Lobato International Airport” (hereinafter referred to as the ‘JICA Airport Study’). The IFC and JICA airport studies summarized the component and runway options in a strong correlation with the services below.
2.3.1 IFC Study The IFC study was conducted in 2013 as a PPP scheme project. There are two options, including the initial stage and the ultimate stage. Option 1: Runway strip with 150 m width The feature of Option-1 is to construct a seawall at the west side and to install a 150 m wide runway strip for the initial stage/2,050 m and the ultimate stage/2,500 m. The Runway End Safety Area (RESA) is installed at 240 m length. However, in accordance with ICAO Annex 14, the runway strip is necessary

to install at 280 m2.
Source: IFC Figure 2.11 Option 1 Option 2: Runway strip 300 m width The feature of Option 2 is not to construct a seawall at the west side and to install a 300 m wide runway strip for the initial stage/2,100 m and the ultimate stage/2,500 m. The RESA is installed at 240 m length. This option is in full accordance with the ICAO Annex 14 recommendation.
Source: IFC
2 The latest ICAO Annex 14 (2018) version recommended is 280 m width. During IFC study period, width is 300 m in ICAO.

Preliminary Assessment for Dili Airport Runway Upgrading Project Final Options Report
Figure 2.12 Option 2
Review of options Option 1 is considered for maximum land area use for runway expansion, such as minimal sea reclama- tion with seawall and no interference with the river at the initial stage. The ultimate stage is only on the east side extension, and the river crossing area only has a pavement width of 45 m, with no consideration of runway strip width. Also, there is no detailed river crossing structure. Option 2 is considered for no sea reclamation. However, both the initial stage and the ultimate stage are necessary to construct the river crossing structure. The river crossing area only has a pavement width of 45 m. It is recommended for both options that all surrounding areas of the runway, including the runway strip, must be in accordance with the ICAO.
2.3.2 JICA Airport Study The scope of the JICA Airport Study includes mainly the terminal area facilities development in the land side, such as the new passenger terminal building, aircraft parking apron, vehicle access road and park- ing, and control tower. JICA Team conducted the preparation of a preliminary design, including the demand forecast, rough cost estimation of terminal area facilities development, and construction/pro- curement plans. The detailed facility contents of the JICA Airport Study are shown in the table below.

2.3.3 Timor- Leste Government Study The Ministry of Public Works, Transport and Communications (MPWTC) was prepared with the several options based on the IFC plans which has two stages. Stage-1 is the extension to 2,100 m, and Stage-2 is the extension to 2,500 m in 2015. During the field work in 2019, the latest information on the MPWTC runway expansion future plan was obtained, which was submitted to the National Development Agency (NDA) under the Ministry of Planning and Strategic Investment. However, only the runway length num- ber was obtained (west side expansion 50 m and east side expansion 210 m total additional 260 m) through the official letter (see attached appendix) because it has not been approved by NDA yet. A similar layout of the Stage-2 expansion is shown below.
2-12
Preliminary Assessment for Dili Airport Runway Upgrading Project Final Options Report
Stage-1: 2,100 m extension The extension runway length up to 2,100 m (+ 250m additional) is necessary to construct minimal sea reclamation at the west (sea) side. The east (river) side spans up to edge of the Comoro River which does not interfere with the river, including river reservation. Through estimation of the passenger volume by MPWTC’s study, it is expected to handle 1 million passengers per year, and flight destination has direct access with some Asia-Pacific markets, such as Hongkong, Bangkok, and Sydney. The size of the runway strip is upgraded from 150 m width to 300 m width in accordance with ICAO Annex 143. How- ever, the RESA is not installed, and some areas of the west side runway strip is not sufficient according to the ICAO standard for this stage.
Source: MPWTC Figure 2.14 Stage-1 2,100 m Extension Stage-2: 2,500 m extension The extension runway length up to 2,500 m (+ 650 m additional) is only towards the east side no inter- ference of the river, including the river reservation from Stage-1. The estimation of passenger volume was not clearly described in the study report. Only the land area of runway strip is sufficient in accord- ance with ICAO standard. The RESA is installed 240 m on both sides in this stage.

Alternative option of Stage-2: 2,500 m extension The alternative option of extension runway length up to 2,500 m (+ 650 m additional) towards the east side crossing of the Comoro River from Stage-1. The size of the runway strip is in accordance with ICAO standards, such as 300 m width without river crossing area where the width is only around 150 m. RESA is installed 240 m on both sides in this stage. However, the IFC report suggested high social disruption in the east side and flood risks of crossing the river.
Source: MPWTC Figure 2.16 Alternative Option of Stage-2 Extension Review of 3 options Stage-1 option only focuses on the runway length up to 2,100 m. Most of the runway strip was enlarged without the west part near the seaside according to ICAO standards, but RESA is not in accordance with ICAO standards. Stage-2 option has enough runway length for current aircraft types, such as B737 and A319. Also, it considers operating Code-E aircraft operations, such as B787 and A330. RESA is allocated the ICAO recommended length. However, the runway strip of the west expansion area is not sufficient according to ICAO. It should be noted that all options are not completely in accordance with ICAO standards, such as runway strip width. Hence, improvements are necessary. Also, the crossing river area of alternative option must be considered for high safety measure due to contact with external areas.
2.4 Air Traffic Forecast of Previous Studies The air traffic of passenger demand forecast has been prepared by IFC in 2014, ADB in 2014, and JICA Airport Study in 2019 as shown below in Figure 2.17. JICA conducted demand forecast till 2040 and reached about 780,000 passengers. On the other hand, demand forecast by IFC is till 2035 and reached about 520,000 passengers, forecast by ADB is till 2030 and reached about 500,000 passengers. Com- paring these forecasts, forecast by ADB does not show a smooth increase around 2025. As for the fore- cast of IFC, there is a gap between actual air passengers and forecasted line in the figure. Considering these things, JICA`s forecast seems to show the most natural forecast line of those three demand fore- casts. Therefor the forecast model by JICA is explained and revised in Chapter 2.5 below.

Source: IFC, ADB, JICA Figure 2.17 Traffic Demand Forecast (Passengers) 2.5 Revised Traffic Forecast The JICA demand forecast analysis is shown below. The forecast model of international passengers was examined through regression analysis based on the passenger traffic and GDP (excluding oil) records for ten years from 2008 to 2017. The forecast model is shown below. Forecast Model of International Passenger Pax = 0.2536×GDP-79 (r2 = 0.9767)
where Pax: international passenger movements in Dili (thousands)
GDP: million USD at 2010 constant prices
For domestic passenger demand, the forecast was the difference between the estimated forecast of in- ternational passengers and total passengers which is shown below because actual records of domestic passenger are insufficient to be analyzed statistically. Forecast Model of Total Passenger Pax = 0.2878×GDP-88.5 (r2 = 0.9725)
where Pax: total passenger movements in Dili (thousands)
GDP: million USD at 2010 constant prices
The JICA demand forecast is reviewed below. - Based on the traffic data for the past 12 years, regression analysis was carried out to use the real GDP4 excluding as an explanatory variable. The coefficient of determination was 0.977, and the T-value was
4 Real GDP is a measurement of economic output that accounts for the effects of inflation or deflation.

33 which gave a good correlation. - The forecast model formula was calculated at around 5% to 7% of the annual growth rate, which was reasonable because the annual growth rate from 2010 to 2018 was around 6% to 8%. - The future forecast of the real GDP as an explanatory was reasonable due to the 1% decline. However, the review on the cargo demand forecast also showed that there is no correlation between cargo activity and GDP, but passenger and cargo activity have a correlation, with 0.907 coefficient de- termination. Therefore, the result is reasonable. Therefore, the JICA forecast model is used and calculated after 2035 for other evaluations such as the variability analysis. The estimated demand forecast is shown in the figure and table below.

2.6 Airport Layout Plan Based on the review of previous and ongoing studies, the basic airport layout plan shown below is recommended. The concept complies with the minimum requirement such as Annex 14 of the ICAO Standards. The facility and equipment for air traffic control are based on the current situation and follow the JICA Airport Study. According to the JICA Airport Study, there is no need to introduce a radar system so far considering air traffic volume until 2017, which means the current situation of Dili Airport is enough to proceed the airport operations. ANATL also plans to introduce PBN (PBN: Performance Based Navigation). There- for a radar system will not be necessary for Dili Airport. However, the airport layout plan should follow recommendations of ICAO Annex 14. Therefore, it is recommended to have the 2,500 m long runway airport layout plan as shown below. Based on the ICAO Annex 14, runway strip shall extend the threshold and beyond the end of the runway for distance of at least 60 m. Dimension of runway end safety areas (RESA) is described below, “a runway end safety area shall extend from the end of a runway strip to a distance of at least 90 m.” and “a runway end safety area should, as far as practicable, extend from the end of a runway strip to a distance at least 240 m.” However, airport layout plan includes buffer area for perimeter road and fence around 20 m from thresh- old of runway strip and/ or RESA.

Source: The Study Team Figure 2.23 Borehole Log of BH-2 As shown in the above borehole logs, the subsurface soil at 1 m of depth around the runway is very dense since N-value show at least over 40. N values of the soil from 2 m to 4 m of depth are from 8 to 28. The soil at BH-2 is relatively looser than that of BH-1.
These soils contain a lot of gravel, and it seems that some of these soils are earthwork material upon construction of Dili Airport.
Around Passenger Terminal Building According to the result of geotechnical survey by JICA study team in 2018 around the existing terminal building area, the soils in this area are mainly silty soil or sandy soil. Some gravelly soil layers and clayey soil layers can also be found partially.

2.7.3 Runway General The dimension of current runway is 1850 m length and 30 m width. It is difficult to operate the long distance even by Code-C aircraft in this runway length without the limitation of payload. The width is also not enough from the required runway width specified in ICAO Annex 14.
The safety area at the runway end such as stop way, clear way5 are also short, and it is not safe in case of accident of aircraft operation such as overrun.

2.8.2 Environmental Baseline Observed environmental condition The observed environment conditions in the surrounding area of the Dili Airport are described as fol- lows: - The western side of the Dili Airport runway is situated in the seaside, where the coastline is protected by concrete blocks. The natural sand coastline is preserved in the adjacent area, par- ticularly Tasi Tolu Beach southwest of airport, and Beto Tasi Beach north of airport. - The Tasi Tolu protected area lies southwest of the airport. The traditional house prepared for the visit of Pope John Paul II in 1989, is located near the Tasi Tolu lake and is worshipped as a cultural and historical asset in Tasi Tolu. The Tasi Tolu Beach is used for bathing and leisure by locals and tourists. Artisanal fishing and diving activities are conducted in the coastal sea area in Tasi Tolu. - The residential area north of airport includes houses, small-sized agricultural land, school, church, and cemetery. The Beto Tasi Beach is a hidden beach known by local communities and is also used as a local fishing beach. - The Comoro River flows in the east side of the airport eventually reaching the sea. The river channel is mined for gravels and sands.

Terrestrial fauna The non-bird fauna of Timor-Leste is poorly known from recent surveys, although some available evi- dence indicated that there are high levels of endemism in all faunal groups. The terrestrial endangered species were not observed or confirmed in and around the Dili Airport as of April 2018 from the Preparatory Survey for the Project for Improvement of Presidente Nicolau Lobato International Airport. Besides, the project affected area is located in the urban and residential zone. It is
2-28
Preliminary Assessment for Dili Airport Runway Upgrading Project Final Options Report
unlikely that there are terrestrial endangered species, except bird habitat in the project affected area. However, terrestrial fauna should be also investigated by the forthcoming project stage. Marine flora and fauna in Timor-Leste The marine species in Timor-Leste is also rich in diversity. Of the 75% of all known coral species, more than 3,000 species of reef fishes and six of the seven known turtle species6 inhabit Timor-Leste. It is also home to whale sharks, manta rays, and a diverse array of marine mammals, such as 22 species of dolphins and a variety of whale species.7 The list of endangered marine species in Timor-Leste includes five species of turtles, dugongs, whales, sharks, and two species of clam. Special notes to be made for biodiversity in the project affected area are summarized as follows: - Dugong: The dugong is often observed in the Tasi Tolu coastal sea which is one of the important dugong’s habitats in Timor-Leste. The dugong is an aquatic protected species under Joint Min- isterial Order No.18/MAP/MCIA/II/2017, establishing the List of Protected Aquatic Species. The distribution of dugongs in Timor-Leste is unknown while sightings of the species were recorded on the northern coast of the country and from Atauro Island. A survey conducted in 2008 reported that dugongs are rare with one being spotted in the northwest and five in the north-east of the country8. Detailed information regarding habitat location, size, and character- istics of dugongs in Tasi Tolu are not currently available. - Turtle: The north coastal line in Dili is known as a nesting ground for sea turtles: hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata; CR-Critically Endangered categorized by IUCN Red list), Olive Rid- ley (Lepidochelys olivacea; VU-Vulnerable), and Green turtle (Chelonia mydas; EN- Endangered) according to information by Conservation International Timor-Leste office. Turtle hatching regularly occurs on the Tasi Tolu Beach and Beto Tasi Beach. - Seagrass: In the north coast, the coastal shallow area is dominated by seagrass bed of around 2,200 hectares. Seven genera are known to exist around Timor-Leste, namely Halodule, Hal- ophila, Enhalus, Cymodocea, Syringodium, Thalassia, and Thalassodendron9. Seagrass, which serves dugongs, is also distributed along the Tasi Tolu Beach, such as Halophila decipiens (LC- Least Concern), Halodule pinifolia (LC), Enhalus acoroides (LC). It is obvious that dugongs feed and rely on seagrass ecosystem. However, the exact area and species of seagrass have not yet been investigated. - Coral: Timor-Leste is part of the Coral Triangle Initiative, the center of marine biodiversity. The coastal area is extremely important for the conservation of marine biodiversity and endangered marine species, such as turtles, dugongs, and dolphins. The information on coral in Tasi Tolu is reported by EIA of Pelican Paradise Development pro- ject10 in 2016. The results showed that the diversity and coral coverage ranges in the surveyed transects from Dili Rock to Tasi Tolu beach: one survey line transect had most live hard and soft corals dominated for 40 - 42 % in which there are highest diversity of 10 coral genus, while the other deeper transect had mostly sand (58%), rubble (40%) and only 2% algae. The survey con- cluded that the reefs west of Dili Rock are healthy and diverse while east of Dili Rock has lower coverage and more coral rubbles. The other transect survey of reef corals in Tasi Tolu beach identified high live coral cover (72%), consisting of total of approximately 25 genera which are dominated by soft corals such as Sinularia sp., Physogyra sp., Tubastraea sp. and Tubinaria sp., hard corals such as Gungia sp., Porites sp. and Euphylia sp., and Acropora corals.

Figure 2.29 Coral and Seagrass Map in Tasi Tolu Protected area The possible project area is not included in the protected area legally declared by GoTL, as confirmed by the National Directorate of Forestry under the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries as well as the National Directorate of Environment (NDE) under the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Environ- ment (MCIE). Decree Law No.5/2016, National system for protected area designates Tasi Tolu protected area. However, the boundary has not been officially specified. According to explanation given by the Department of Protected Area under the National Directorate of Forestry, the Tasi Tolu protected area is only located in terrestrial area, but not including the marine area. On the other hand, designation of Tasi Tolu Marine protected area is under consideration by Department of Fisheries as of October 2019, although the boundary has not yet been drafted. Besides, 1,540 ha of the Tasi Tolu area is designated as an Important Bird Area (IBA) by the international NGO, Birdlife International, which is recognized as a globally important habitat for the conservation of bird populations.

Thus, data from the past environmental studies conducted for infrastructure development projects in Dili are referred to study the general environmental baseline. No standard for environmental quality, such as air quality and water quality criteria, have been devel- oped yet in Timor-Leste. According to the information provided by the Department of EIA, Directorate of Environment, internationally-recognized standards, such as the World Health Organization (WHO) standard or standards of neighboring countries such as Indonesia, are commonly used in EIA studies in Timor-Leste.

Preliminary Assessment for Dili Airport Runway Upgrading Project Final Options Report
Air quality Ambient air quality data in the surrounding area of Dili airport can be referred to baseline air quality measurement results in 2016 conducted by EIA of Pelican Paradise Development project. Results met with WHO Air Quality Guidelines except PM2.5 at two measurement points and PM10 at one measure- ment point. Another ambient air quality data was referred from the Project of the Urgent Shift of Ferry Terminal in Dili Port, which targeted SO2, CO, NO2, O3, HC, Total Suspended Particular (TSP), PM10, PM2.5, and Pb. The analysis result for monitoring point in the Dili Port did not exceed the criteria cited from the standards of WHO, Japan, and the United States. Surface water quality The appearance of coastal water near Dili airport is clear, but especially Tasi Tolu coastal water receives pollution loads from soil and sediment runoff from erosion and road construction work etc., as well as untreated sewage discharged from communities and urban area. The Comoro River seems to have more pollution load from upstream basin, where sand and gravel mining activities are also considered as cause of increase in turbidity, suspended solid and other pollutants in the river water. In the EIA report of Pelican Paradise Development project (2016), the seawater quality results for three sampling points in Tasi Tolu coastal water were evaluated compared to the limits of Class 2 (for marine life, fisheries, coral reef etc.) under Malaysian Marine Water Quality Criteria and Standards (MWQCS), since there are no marine water quality standards in Timor-Leste. The results indicated dysoxic environ- ment and high organic pollutants measured by Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD). Cadmium at one sampling point slightly exceeded the standards while the other monitoring parameters met with the standards. Another water quality data is obtained for Dili Port located 5 km to the east from the Dili Airport. The survey was conducted in the Project for urgent shift of the ferry terminal in Dili Port in 2015. The result showed that only the value of dissolved oxygen (DO) did not meet the sea water quality standard in Indonesia. However, other parameters (total phosphate, oil and grease, turbidity, pH, total coliforms, total suspended solids, COD, and total nitrogen) indicated acceptable water quality compared with standards applied in Indonesia or WHO. Noise Aviation noise is not monitored by ANATL, and no data is available. However, it is obvious that the residential area around the Dili Airport, especially in Madohi Village in the east of the airport runway located under flight paths, suffers significantly from aircraft noise. The vehicle traffic noise was measured in the Preparatory Survey for the Project for Improvement of Dili Airport. The result was compared with the criteria of Indonesia, IFC, and Request Limits for Motor Vehicle Noise under the Noise Regulation Law, Japan. Among the three monitoring points, the noise level at two monitoring points met the three criteria (70 dB or 75 dB). Another point in the south of the airport indicated 71.5 dB, exceeding the criteria in Indonesia and IFC, but met the Request Noise Limits in Japan.

Natural resources Key natural resources in the surroundings of Dili Airport are identified as a mining resource in the Com- oro River and an underground water resource besides the natural ecosystem. Water resource
Main surface water around the Dili Airport are the Comoro River located at a distance of 1 km east of the airport, Tasi Tolu Lakes at 1.5 km southwest of the airport, and Beto Tasi Beach 0.6 km north of the

airport. Regarding groundwater resources, the large aquifer known as the Dili Groundwater Basis (DGB) is situated downstream of the Comoro River basin and is formed from quaternary sedimentary deposits in the Dili alluvial plain. The researchers noted that development activities, such as the construction of river banks, wetlands, and drainage without considering the health of the groundwater endowment, is placing stress on the aquifer by limiting the recharge in the wet season. The increasing groundwater abstraction had caused saltwater intrusion (Sangam Shrestha et al., Groundwater Environment in Asian Cities, 2016). Another report on salt water intrusion showed that high content of salts in the downstream of the Comoro River is detected at an average depth 140 m (Lindsay Gurness, 2011). According to information from the Preparatory Survey for the Project for Improvement of Dili Airport, the groundwater level around the Dili Airport is below 4 m or 5 m from the ground surface. ANATL and the neighborhood community use more than 10 m deep wells for water intake. The groundwater quality of wells around the airport indicated that the pH ranged from 7.1 to 8.1, and EC ranged from 0.39 mS/m to 0.82 mS/m, which did not indicate saltwater intrusion at the sampling time. Mining resource in the Comoro River
The sand and gravel resources of Timor-Leste are extensive. The small-scale artisanal mining excavation is actively conducted in the Comoro River valleys which have large and thick alluvium deposits (Geo- logical Society of London, Sustainable Minerals Operations in the Developing World, 2005). Mining activities shall be licensed by Autoridade Nacional do Petróleo e Minerais (ANPM), which is the gov- ernment authority responsible for petroleum and mining areas. In Timor-Leste, over 1 billion tons of gravel and sands are extracted for construction material in 2017 (ANPM Annual Report, 2017). The production amount from the downstream channel of the Comoro River is not officially reported.
2.9 Social Safeguard Aspect 2.9.1 Current Social Condition of the Project Site Location Presidente Nicolau Lobato International Airport is located in the north-western part of Dom Aeixo Dis- trict, Dili City. Present runway is located in Suco11 Madohi and the runway will be extended in some options to Suco Bebonuk, east of the Comoro River. Suco Madohi and Suco Bebonuk have been recently separated from Suco Comoro. A Suco consists of several aldeiasd which is local community or hamlet and has chief.
11 Suco is the lowest administrative unit.

About one hundred of 240 households in the Aldeia are engaged in coastal fishery for which fishery license is not required. There is no fishermen’s organization in this area. Inhabitants are also engaged in vegetable cultivation and palm plantation to gain income in the Aldeia. In the south of the present runway, several Aldeias, namely Terra Santa, Anin Fuic and Loro Matan Beto Timur (from west to east), are located, where land is mainly used for houses and several small shops while cultivated land also exist on a small scale. JICA Airport Study Report mentions that a lot of people living around the airport (Suco Madohi) are not employed or have no occupation. They expect to be employed by terminal construction in the JICA Airport Project. Suco Bebonuk, east of the Comoro River, is more populated and urbanized Suco than Suco Madohi. Many inhabitants are employed or run small business. In the area along the main roads, commercial buildings and business facilities, such as shopping center, hotels, warehouses, and parking, are found. Adding to them, religious and social facilities, such as churches and schools, are located. In the Comoro River, one hundred or more people excavate sand and gravel from riverbed in the dry season, which is only income source of their households according to their answer.

Beto Tasi is connected with the southern part of the runway by a road which is located just beside the eastern end of the runway and included in the airport area. Beto Tasi people will lose access road to the south if the runway is upgraded. It must be considered to keep their accessibility and protect their live- lihood. Northern part of Suco Bebonuk has the same situation if east side extension option is selected. Cultural, Religious, Social Infrastructures and Facilities There is no cultural heritage in the supposed project area. However, sacred banyan tree and cemetery, several churches and a mosque are found inside or near to the runway extension area and river diversion area. It is needed to have close communication with people related to these facilities at F/S stage.
2.9.2 Social Safeguard Issues Physical Displacement The runway upgrading project, regardless of direction and length of extension, will cause involuntary resettlement due to runway widening and extension. The magnitude of impact depends on the direction of extension. First, the present runway is planned to widen its width to north and south in compliance with the international standard, which require a strip of land near to the current airport boundary. The number of affected people is supposed above 200, which exceeds the threshold of ADB safeguard cate- gories. Second, runway extension needs to acquire land both to the west side and east side and it causes involuntary resettlement in Suco Bebonuk and small part of Suco Madohi. Third, options of eastside and both sides extension need river diversion, which causes involuntary resettlement of hundreds of houses. Finally, parallel taxi way also requires resettlement of ten of houses at southern part of the pre- sent runway (south of the widened runway). There is no effective law on land acquisition and resettlement in Timor-Leste, and, according to the Director of Land, Properties and Cadastral Service, Ministry of Justice, it is not needed to compensate for land. However, it is not appropriate that project proponent acquire private land without compensation because it does not comply with ADB Safeguard Policy Statement. Also, land owners probably resist land expropriation by the authority if they are not paid. There is no effective law relating to compensation for buildings/houses, too, but Ministry of Public Works has a price list of compensation for houses and buildings by type (permanent, semi-permanent, temporary) and quality of building/house. Not all the land plots have structures/houses but at most 3,000 structure/houses exist in the supposed runway upgrading project area (Option A-2). Economic Displacement Fishery and vegetable cultivation is main income sources in Aldeia Beto Tasi, the area north of the present runway, and, some households run small business on the both sides of the runway and supposed extension area. Also, not only small household business, but large-scale commercial businesses are
2-36

found in the east side extension area and in the river diversion area. Local Community Aldeia Beto Tasi in Suco Madohi, northern part of the present runway, is connected with southern part of the Suco by a road. It will lose this access road by the project regardless of extension length and direction. Similarly, Aldeias of northern part of Suco Bebonuk will partially lose access to the southern part if the runway is extended eastside. Cultural, Religious and Social Infrastructure A school, church, sacred banyan tree and cemetery are located in the Aldeia Beto Tasi. In the area of eastside extension in the Suco Bebonuk, supposed runway will affect schools, churches sacred banyan tree and cemetery. 2.10 Risk Register Aspect Following risks are identified as important issues based on the site observation in June and the 1st AHP workshop in July. Physical displacement One of the most critical risks of the Project is the magnitude of physical displacement or involuntary resettlement. Participants of the trial AHP workshop in July judged it as the most important criteria for selection of the preferred option of the runway upgrading.
Magnitude of physical displacement depends on the direction of the runway but number of people who will be affected by involuntary resettlement is not small for all options. Exact number of affected persons will be identified in the population census for the resettlement action plan (RAP) at the F/S stage, but it is preliminarily assessed through land observation on site and Google Earth image that the project will cause both physical and economic displacement. Both sides of the present runway are residential area and the project needs to acquire not a small number of land plots and structures/houses. Also, the runway is planned to extend towards the residential and commercial area in the east of Comoro River for east side options (Option A-2) and both sides option (Option A-3). Project proponent must carefully explain, consult and negotiate with affected people once the Timorese Government decides the project imple- mentation. At the time of land acquisition, clear explanation and close communication as well as sincere negotiation must be needed.
Economic displacement Another critical risk is economic displacement of loss of income source and business facilities. Eco- nomic activities in the project area are fishery, agriculture, running kiosks, and commercial business
Small shops are found on the area both of runway widening and extension. They must be relocated. In the Aldeia Beto Tasi, north of the present runway, fishery activity is main income source. Extension seaward probably affects it by decreasing fishery area and change of ocean current. In the Suco Bebonuk, east of the Comoro River, there exist not only small shops but also business activities, shopping center, office, warehouses, and parking areas. The airport upgrading project will affect these economic infra- structure facilities and affect their business activities. As same as physical displacement, close commu- nication and clear explanation as well as sincere negotiation and compensation must be needed at the acquisition of land and facilities.
Unity of communities Participants of the trial AHP workshop did not consider the impact of the project on the unity of com- munities as important criterion for selecting preferred option. However, the Study Team considers the loss of access and communication within a Suco and with other Sucos is one of the risks of the project and it must be precisely considered.
2-37
Preliminary Assessment for Dili Airport Runway Upgrading Project Final Options Report
Widening the existing runway in the Suco Madohi has the risk to cut the access road linking north and south of the runway. East side extension site in Suco Bebonuk has similar risk of dividing existing communities. It may be needed to construct bypass in the affected area as mitigation means.
Cultural, religious and social infrastructure Though there are no cultural heritages in the concerned area and the participants of the AHP workshop did not regard this was important. However, the runway upgrading project will require resettlement of several religious facilities such as cemetery and churches and social facilities such as schools in the east side extension.
Environmental risks All options have environmental risk but with different issue. Extension to the west side (seaside) is anticipated to affect marine fauna, especially dugong and east side extension is anticipated to change hydrological conditions. Although the participants of AHP workshop put low point to the noise, noise disturbance will be examined as one of the critical environmental issue of airports.
Aircraft safety User’s satisfaction is one of the most important criteria. For the runway expansion project, aircraft safety shall be the satisfied with the airline companies. At landing and taking off, aircrafts must avoid hills and mountains. For Dili International airport, a hill exist towards the western direction of the airport and Christ Rey on the east and we regard they are possible obstacle for landing and taking off. Sub-criterion of aircraft operation ranked the top five important sub-criteria in the AHP stakeholder workshop (airline pilot was a member). The Study Team will continue to confirm the degree of this risk and aircraft safety.

CHAPTER 3 OPTIONS ANALYSIS
3.1 General The options developed in the previous studies have been reviewed up to now. This chapter describes the circumstances of the possible options such as technical aspect, financial and economic aspects and en- vironmental aspects including the consideration of the options from current situation as described in Chapter 2. 3.2 Option Considered 3.2.1 Airport Layout Plan The options described in Chapter 2 have been studied up to now. The runway length is the basic key factor for aircraft operations. The runway length must be considered for future aircraft operations which are selected in the future plan of airport operator and airport users. During the first field work in Dili, numerous organizations were contacted to collect information related to future operations such as ANATL as counterpart organization, line ministries, civil aviation interest partners, such as airlines at Dili Airport, development partners, and civil society groups. A summary of the collected information regarding aircraft operations, especially runway length, is provided below. - Babcock12: the current runway length is not enough for operation of Code-C jet aircrafts, such as A320 series and B737 series. - Zeesm13: They suggest that at least 2,500 m of runway length is required for the operation of Code- C jet aircrafts. - Citilink: Dili Airport will have runway length of 3,000 m and width of 60 m. Timor-Leste has a potential transit flight, vacation, and commercial flight for other countries. - Sriwijaya: runway extension is necessary for aircraft performance, especially for aircraft B737-800. So, it is suggested to have no more limitation for MTOW14. - ANATL issued the letter on 24 June 2019 regarding a future runway length of 3,000 m (see appendix). In the discussion with ANATL, a Chinese airline company has a plan to operate a direct flight to Dili in the near future due to increasing visits of Chinese to Timor-Leste. Also, airlines from Middle East coun- tries plan to offer direct flights to Dili. The technical aspect of the runway length was studied to use aircraft characteristics of Boeing and Air- bus for current aircraft operations and future expected aircraft operations. Operation aircraft Currently, the Code-C aircrafts that operate in Timor-Leste are as shown below. As mentioned above, during the discussion with airlines, Code-C aircrafts in operation are still the main aircraft in other coun- tries now. Table 3-1 Current Operation Aircraft (Code-C) Aircraft Manufacturer Type B737-800 Boeing B737-500 A320 Airbus A319 Source: The Study Team Future expected aircraft operations are considered in the discussion with ANATL and airlines.

3-1 Preliminary Assessment for Dili Airport Runway Upgrading Project Final Options Report
according to the final report of the Preparatory Survey for the Project for Improvement of Presidente Nicolau Lobato International Airport by JICA (JICA Airport Study), the operation of Code-E aircrafts is expected as the maximum size of aircrafts in the aircraft demand forecast. Therefore, in this study, the following aircrafts are set as the target aircrafts since these are popularly operated in the world.
Table 3-2 Expected Future Operation Aircraft (Code-E) Aircraft Manufacturer Type B777-300ER Boeing B787-8 A350-900 Airbus A330-300 Source: The Study Team 1) Flight Range In the air traffic demand forecast in the JICA Airport Study, the future destinations of international flights considered are only to Denpasar (DPS), Singapore (SIN), and Darwin (DRW), which have been or are currently operating in Dili Airport. However, in this study, considering the possibility of long-range flights, the necessary runway length for each operating flight distance in 2000 NM, 3000 NM, 4000 NM, and 5000 NM is studied since the increase of passenger number from 4% to 7% of growth rate is ex- pected in the demand forecast.

Reference Temperature 33.8 ℃ Reference Altitude 8 m (25 ft) Runway Slope 0.1% Source: The Study Team Therefore, the correction factor is calculated as follows: Temperature Correction Factor 1 + (33.8 - 14.9) × 1% = 1.189 Altitude Correction Factor 1 + 7% × 8 / 300 = 1.002 Runway Slope Correction Factor 1 + 10% × 0.1% /1% = 1.010 Combined Correction Factor 1.189 × 1.002 × 1.010 = 1.203 4) Calculation of Required Runway Length As for the calculation of required runway length, required runway length for take-off is more critical than that for landing. Therefore, the only required runway length for take-off is calculated. Based on the above conditions and the runway length calculation charts which are issued by aircraft manufacturer, the required runway length for take-off in each condition is calculated. Sample calculation procedure with regards to the use of B777-300 type aircraft as shown in the figures below.

The required runway length for the flight range of 2,000NM with the current operating aircraft such as B737-800 is 2,200m under Full Pax/ No Cargo condition. For A320, it is necessary to have 2,400 m and 2,000m respectively for Max. Payload and Full Pax/No Cargo conditions. At 3,000 NM flight range using most produced aircraft such as B787 the necessary runway length re- quired is 2,500 m under Max. Payload condition and 2,000 m under Full Pax/ No Cargo condition. At 4,000 NM flight range using same type B787, it is necessary to have 2,900 m and 2,200 m respec- tively for Max. Payload and Full Pax/No Cargo conditions.

5) Calculation of Existing Runway Length Situation During the 1st field work in Dili, we got the information regarding weight limitation of aircraft operation currently from stakeholders. Therefore, we evaluated existing runway length situation using the aircraft manufacture chart for operating aircraft such as B737-800 and A320. The calculation result is shown in the table below. Denpasar flight situation can allow full passenger payload (14.4 ton) and limited cargo payload (1.2 ton) by B737-800. Singapore flight situation was able to allow full passenger payload (13.5 ton) and limited cargo payload (4.5 ton) by A320.

4) Option 2100/ IFC Plan Both Sides, 2,500 m Expansion This option is provided by IFC airport master plan team which GoTL inter-ministerial working group accepted as the priority airport development layout plan. The runway length of Option 2100 has a total of 2,100 m expansion toward both east and west sides. It adds 250 m for existing runway and preparation of standard RESA on both sides. The west side extension is 75 m and the east side extension is 175 m. The extension length of the runway to west side is necessary for land reclamation of sea and to east side is no interference for the riverside. The parallel taxiway is around 1,000 m long of west side of the airport.

3.3 Technical Complexity (Cost Estimates, Construction Plan) 3.3.1 West Side Extension Outline The west side extension is mainly planned on offshore area. The water depth of this area will be around -5m to -35m as shown in the following figure. Therefore, the marine structures and marine construction works shall be considered for the option of the runway extension.
Source: The Study Team Figure 3.7 Planning Area and Bathymetric Contour of West Side Extension
The following two alternatives have been considered for the west side extension.
- Reclamation with Revetment (Sea Wall) - Jetty Structure with Steel Pipe Pile (Jacket Type) Methods and Features The method and feature of the reclamation method and the jetty structure are shown as follows. 1) Reclamation with Revetment The reclamation method is generally applied for the offshore land development works. The rubble mound revetment with concrete block (tetrapod) is recommended. The crest height of revetment shall be +7.20 (from M.S.L) to prevent overtopping to airport land area. A floating crane is required to be mobilized at the site for installation of concrete block.
The cross sections of revetment and reclamation area are shown in Figure 3.8, Figure 3.9 and Figure 3.10.

2) Jetty Structure The jacket type jetty for the runway structure in Tokyo International Airport was completed in 2010 as the world's first offshore jetty runway. Recently this type has been widely applied in port facilities due to the following reasons.
- Reduced onsite construction work period - High earthquake resistance

One solution is to construct the bridge for the runway to cross the river. The other solution is to construct the diversion river instead of the existing river. In this section, the comparison analysis for these solutions is conducted to apply for the river side runway extension option, referring Option A-2/ East side, 2,500 m Expansion as a model case.
In Case of Bridge Construction (Solution 1) 1) Bridge Structure Plan The technical characteristics of Comoro River has been studied in“Preparatory Survey Report on the Project for the Construction of Upriver Comoro Bridge in the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste” (hereinafter“Upriver Comoro Bridge Study”) published by JICA in 2014. Therefore, the result of Upriver Comoro Bridge Study is referred for the bridge structure study.
There is another possible option to construct the bridge by box culvert structure. However, it is difficult to construct a required structure which meets proper width that doesn’t interrupt existing water flow and draining. Therefore, the box culvert structure is not adopted in this study.
a) Design Discharge Volume of Comoro River Based on the result of Upriver Comoro Bridge Study, the design discharge volume of Comoro River is set at 2,500 m3/s with 50 years of return period.
