INTRODUCTION Energía del Pacífico Ltda. de C.V. (EDP) is seeking financing for the construction and operation of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) to power project in El Salvador (the Project). The Project will involve the construction and operation of: • Power Plant (see Figure 1-1): a 378 megawatt (MW) thermal power plant at the Port of Acajutla in the Department of Sonsonate, a marine terminal for LNG delivery, storage, and regasification, and a natural gas pipeline that will run from a floating storage regasification unit (FSRU) to the power plant, and • Transmission Line (TL) (see Figure 1-2): a 44 kilometer (km), 230 kilovolt (kV) TL and related substations to connect the Power Plant to the electrical network of El Salvador. Source: EDP 2016. Figure 1-1: Project Power Plant Location 1-4 LNG to Power Project Draft Cumulative Impact Assessment Source: EDP 2017. Figure 1-2: Project Transmission Line Location This report discusses the cumulative impact assessment (CIA) conducted to evaluate the potential contribution of the Project towards the cumulative impacts on resources identified as Valued Environmental Components (VECs) by stakeholders. This report follows the International Finance Corporation’s (IFC’s) Good Practice Handbook— Cumulative Impact Assessment and Management: Guidance for Private Sector in Emerging Markets (“the Handbook”) (IFC 2013). The Handbook provides a methodology for identifying the most significant cumulative impacts. The methodology includes a desktop review of publicly available information and consultation with key stakeholders. This methodology focuses on environmental and social components referred to in the handbook as VECs, which are: (1) rated as “critical” by potential Project-Affected Communities (PACs)1 and/or the scientific community; and (2) cumulatively impacted by the Project under evaluation, by other projects, 1 PACs are defined as local communities potentially directly affected by the Project (consistent with IFC Performance Standard 1, paragraph 1 [IFC 2012a]). 1-5 LNG to Power Project Draft Cumulative Impact Assessment and/or by natural environmental and social external drivers (IFC 2013). The methodology applied herein is generally consistent with the relevant IFC Performance Standards (PS), especially PS 1—Assessment and Management of Environmental and Social Risks and Impacts, and PS 6—Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Management of Living Natural Resources (IFC 2012). 2. OBJECTIVES AND SCOPE The overall objective of this CIA is to identify and assess the contribution by the Project to cumulative impacts. The specific objectives are: • Identify VECs that could be impacted cumulatively in the onshore and offshore areas potentially affected by the Project, considering input from stakeholders and potential PACs through consultation process; • Identify other existing and planned projects and external environmental and social drivers that could cumulatively impact VECs; • Undertake a high-level assessment of potential cumulative impacts on VECs, considering the Project and the other identified existing and planned projects and external drivers in the area, identifying the contribution of the Project to the cumulative impacts; • Recommend a management framework for the integrated management of potential cumulative impacts. 3. METHODOLOGY KEY TERMINOLOGY FOR THE CIA The following are definitions for key terminology used in the CIA. Cumulative Impact: Impacts that result from the successive, incremental, and/or combined effects of an action, project, or activity added to other existing, planned, and/or reasonably anticipated actions, projects, or activities. For practical reasons, the identification, assessment, and management of cumulative impacts are limited to those effects generally recognized as important on the basis of scientific concern and/or concerns of PACs. CIA: Process to identify and evaluate cumulative impacts. Other Projects: Existing, planned, or reasonably expected future

Navarrete-Tindall*, W. Sue Bartelette*, and Casi Lock** Lincoln University of Missouri Cooperative Extension, Native Plants Program* Independent Consultant** Abstract A delegation from Lincoln University (LU) Cooperative Extension of Missouri partic- ipated in a 12-day exchange program that included visits to communities and institutions in Central and Western El Salvador. The delegation included LU Native Plants Program (LU-NPP) staff and members of four communities in Missouri. The objectives were: 1. For the LU delega- tion to be immersed in the Salvadoran culture and learn how communities protect their resources and use native plants in their daily lives; 2. To exchange lessons learned between the LU-NPP, Salvadoran educators, producers, farmers, and communities; and 3. Identify organizations or agencies interested in forming alliances with the LU-NPP. Joint collaborative efforts between LU and organizations in El Salvador will help empower small farmers and will further advance agricultural and ecological education for low-income students in El Salvador and in Missouri. During site visits, local leaders from different agencies and community organizations and the LU delegation engaged in conversations to learn from each other’s experiences. Salva- doran specialists were surprised to learn that Lincoln University also works with low-income communities and that farms in Missouri do not only grow cash crops.

RESISTANCE, THE CHURCH, AND A COMPARISON OF CERAMICS FROM SIXTEENTH-CENTURY CALUCO, EL SALVADOR Alison D. Hodges 154 Pages This thesis examines ceramics from the church of San Pedro y San Pablo, Caluco, El Salvador, to investigate the pressures of Spanish evangelization during the Colonial Period. It compares the church’s ceramic assemblage to two privately-owned houses, also within Caluco. Examining choices in ceramic styles for serving food and drink is one way to examine the colonial policies of reducción, which were to instill a regular, commonplace Christian order in everyday life. The materials in question were a large number of Spanish majolicas, as well as 300 locally-made vessels, and form, decoration, and ware was noted for each. The relative importance of majolica versus majolica attributes on indigenous-made pottery shows that practices in the shadow of the church were distinct from those farther away.

    2 Junto a los municipios de Izalco, Armenia, San Julián y Santa Isabel Ishuatán, han conformado la Iniciativa municipal Los Izalcos. Es de hacer notar que como mancomunidad tiene un peso poblacional importante ya que alberga un 4% de la población total del país.1 Los problemas que más aquejan a estos municipios son en orden de importancia: Disposición final de los desechos sólidos, Recuperación del Medio ambiente, Educación, Infraestructura vial, Desempleo, Ordenamiento territorial y Seguridad ciudadana.2 La pobreza de la zona (40.44% de hogares pobres según la EHPM 2003), coexiste con la falta de recursos de la municipalidad, ya que aunque son muchas las iniciativas, pocas agendas se pueden realizar ya que no se cuenta con los recursos necesarios, esto puede atentar con la asociatividad de la zona. La actividad productiva predominante de la mancomunidad es la agropecuaria. En todos ellos es común el cultivo de granos básicos el que fundamentalmente se destina para el sustento familiar. Otros cultivos son el café, sin embargo, la crisis del mismo ha generado altos niveles de desempleo en estos municipios y elevados índices de desnutrición infantil.
