FILE: 793

ENTITY: ANTI-NARCOTICS DIRECTORATE – DNE

PROJECT: Program for the Eradication of Illicit Crops by Aerial
Spraying with Glyphosate –PECIG

REF: MODIFICATION TECHNICAL CONCEPT No. 1015,
DATED SEPTEMBER 15, 2003

1. BACKGROUND

1.1 The Ministry of Environment, per Resolution No. 1065 of
November 26, 2001, ordered the National Narcotics
Directorate (DNE) to implement the ENVIRONMENTAL

MANAGEMENT PLAN for the Program for the Eradication
of Illicit Crops by Aerial Spraying with Glyphosate –PECIG.
1.2 Per Resolution No. 108 of January 31, 2002, the Ministry of
Environment confirmed Resolution No. 1065 of November
26, 2001, except Records

No. 4, 7 and 8 of the Environmental Management Plan, which
are described in the mentioned Resolution.
1.3 Per Resolution No. 099 of January 31, 2003, the Ministry for
Environment, (now Ministry for the Environment, Housing

and Territorial Development), amended in part Resolution
No. 1065 of November 26, 2001.
1.4 The National Narcotics Directorate, per communication filed
under No. 3111-1-12366 of August 12, 2003 submitted to the
Ministry an amendment to the Environmental Management

Plan ordered per Resolution No. 1065, 2001.

2. CONSIDERATIONS

2.1 General Considerations

The establishment of illicit crops, mainly developed in fragile
ecosystems and of biological diversity relevance for the country, is a

determinant in the processes of environmental damages faced by the

3Annex 34

country, m ainly du e t o land s uitability, an a ctivity a ssociated w ith
slash-and-burn of natural vegetation.
[Page 1]
The N ational Narcotics D irectorate h as i ndicated t hat t he A nti-

Narcotics Police, as executor of the Program for the Eradication of
Illicit C rops w ith G lyphosate, f aces p ermanent r isks in e radication
activities due to the presence of outlaw groups that harass and attack
aircraft during aerial applications of Glyphosate herbicide, which in
many c ases pr events t he ap propriate i mplementation of t he

environmental management Records.

This s ituation ha s be en ve rified b y th e M inistry dur ing E MPS´s
follow-up act ivities w here t he Eradi cation P rogram oper ates,
evidencing also the existence of strategies used by illicit growers to

avoid s praying of areas pl anted w ith c oca. A mong t hem i s t he
interspersing of lic it w ith illic it c rops, th e f ractionated pla nting of
illicit crops, the laying of wires between trees to snare aircraft as it
descends, an d t he p resence i n i solated t ree-plots of c onsiderable
height, with t he pu rpose of i mpeding t he m aneuverability of t he

aircraft performing the spray, being these last two situations, events
that endanger the lives of the pilots and in some cases force to change
the parameters of the operation of the program.

Taking into account that the Colombian government imple mented an
Illicit Crop Eradication Program with Glyphosate herbicide as a State
strategy t o f ight dr ug t rafficking a nd s top t he devastation t hat t he
implementation of illicit crops is causing in the country and that this
activity can generate effects on health and environment, the Ministry

ordered the National Narcotics Directorate (DNE) to implement the
Environmental M anagement P lan, t o pr event, m itigate, c ontrol,
compensate and co rrect an y negative en vironmental ef fects or
impacts.

The E nvironmental M anagement P lan or dered b y th e M inistry in
November, 2001 w as de signed and s ubmitted i n due t ime b y t he
National Narcotics Directorate. Its execution during this time, has
allowed DNE to prove the existence of some difficulties of technical

and lo gistical n ature, w hich limi t t he e ffective development of t he
activities contemplated in the programs proposed.

Since the Environmental Management Plan is a dynamic tool that can
be ad justed according t o t he ch aracteristics of the activity and t he

environmental conditions where i t is imp lemented, th e adjustment

4 Annex 34

document s ubmitted b y D NE p roposes a consistent s trategy i n t he
restructuring of t he 13 R ecords t hat c omprise t he c urrent
Environmental M anagement P lan, in s uch a w ay th at it a llows
effectiveness in execution and environmental control over the Program

for the Eradication of Illicit Crops by Aerial Spraying with Glyphosate
–PECIG.

DNE´s pr oposal i s b ased on experience gained dur ing t he
implementation of t he Program a nd a pplication of e nvironmental

management records, which has allowed to identify that some of them
can be integrated, to the extent that they contain similar scope and
objectives; the integration and synthesis of the Records proposed by
DNE, will allow greater control in the development of environmental
management measures consistent with PECIG and the improvement of

the coordination relationships with the various entities involved in the
Program.

Additionally, DNE indicates that the characteristics of the activity to
eradicate illic it c rops r equires a d ynamic E MP th at f acilitates th e

effective i mplementation of pr oposed a ctivities, a ccording t o t he
various environmental, social and security conditions that arise in the
country.

2.2 Comments on the content of the proposed Sheets

The in terdisciplinary technical r eview ma de to th e mo dification
proposal of t he E nvironmental M anagement P la n´s R ecords of
PECIG, l eads t o t he c onclusion t hat i t doe s not a lter t he ove rall

objective t o be pur sued, s uch a s pr evention, m itigation, c ontrol,
compensation a nd c orrection of pot ential effects or a dverse
environmental i mpacts t hat t he er adication act ivity m ay generate,
meaning the proposal as a logistical and technical adjustment to the
current plan.

However, t he review e nables t he M inistry t o make t he following
comments on each Record, including:

• RECORD 1. MANAGEMENT PROGRAM OF SPRAYING
OPERATIONS. Incorporates Records No. 1 - Management of
spraying operations with No. 6, I nspection, Verification and
Control pr ogram of s praying ope rations, ad justing s ome
objectives and activities of same.

5Annex 34

COMMENTS OF THE MINISTRY

The Ministry considers it desirable to unify these two Sheets,
as the objectives and activities proposed in the current EMP

are r elated, and t herefore, t he p roposed R ecords m eets t he
environmental requirement f or t he m anagement of s praying
operations.

1. Detection Measures

The de tection me asures a re dir ected at th e identification
process, characterization using geographical coordinates of the
areas affected b y i llicit cr ops an d ex clusion z ones of t he
Program; c haracterization w ill b e s upported with s atellite

imagery, aerial photography and mapping.

2. Operating Parameters

Based on t he o perating p arameters, D NE i n t hi s R ecord

modifies the maximum height of application, a situation that
could cause drift effects. T here are particular circumstances
that put pilots’ lives at risk, as well as ground conditions that
require hi gher s praying a nd e xplain t he a ction, w hen i t i s

strictly n ecessary. In t his s ense, ap plication p arameters as
droplet s ize i ncrease, pi lot e xperience, a djustment of
application s trip a nd l ow w ind s peeds s hould be i ssues t o
consider according to ICA´s recommendations to reduce this
effect, which although temporary, is negative.

3. Verification

In Paragraph 3.2.3. Verification, DNE states in this Record that
aerial spraying must be verified in order to prove its eficiency,

that is, whether it achieves its ultimate goal of destroying illicit
crops.

For t he pur poses of the e nvironmental m onitoring and

assessment which this Ministry requires, it will be necessary to
evaluate t he e fficiency an d e ffectiveness o f environmental
management measures.
[Page 3]
Regarding buf fer s trips, in vis its ma de b y this M inistry in

furtherance to the follow-up and verification of environmental

6 Annex 34

measures and quarterly reports of PECIG´s activities submitted

by DNE, it h as been observed that the drift effect is minimal
and no da mage ha s been c aused out side t hese s trips.
Therefore, we accept the amendment submitted by DNE in that
we welcome those indicated in Decree 1843 of 1991 of the
Ministry of Social Protection (formerly, Health Ministry).

• RECORD 2. COMPREHENSIVE SECURITY PRORAM IN
OPERATING BAS ES. Incorporates Records N o. 2 -

Glyphosate M anagement P rogram and i ts c oadjuvants in
operating bases, Record No. 3. F uels, Vehicles, Equipment
and Transportation Management Program, and Record No. 11
Comprehensive Se curity i n t he bas es of ope rations of t he
current plan.

COMMENTS OF THE MINISTRY

The Ministry considers it appropriate to integrate activities that
were distributed in the merged Sheets, to the extent that efforts

and resources are concentrated to better fulfill the proposed
objectives. T he implementation of this Sheet and others that
make up the Environmental Management Plan, must take into
account the regulation included in their content as well as that
which supplements or modifies same.

• RECORD 3. P ROGRAM FO R S OLID W ASTE
MANAGEMENT. Corresponds to current Record 4. Program
for Solid waste management.

CONSIDERATIONS OF THE MINISTRY

Wastewater Management Program.

7Annex 34

COMMENTS OF THE MINISTRY

This Record maintains the structure of Sheet No. 5 of current

EMP, W astewater M anagement P rogram. Discharge control,
provisions of de cree 15 41 of 1978 a nd 1594 of 1984 w ill
apply.

• RECORD 5 . E NVIRONMENTAL M ONITORING
PROGRAM Incorporates Record No. 7 – Research Program
in Representative and Demonstrative Plots and Record No. 8 –
Environmental Monitoring Program of current EMP.
[page 4]

CONSIDERATIONS OF THE MINISTRY

The objectives contained in Record No. 7 of the Plan to be
amended, as ar e t he s tudy of r egeneration an d eco logical

dynamics of sprayed areas and the determination of glyphosate
residues in soil and its damage on physical-chemical properties
of same, are include in the proposed Sheet to be implemented
in real conditions of soil in each nucleus of PECIG´s operation.
In this sense, this evaluation will be done simultaneously with

the e nvironmental m onitoring described i n the pr oposed
Record.

Record No. 8 – Environmental M onitoring o n w ater, s oil,
vegetation, land use and health of population components in

sprayed areas, aims to monitor the impacts caused on t hese
components.

The pr oposed Record contains i ndicators pr ovided f or In

Resolutions 1065/2001 and 108/2002 and complements with
others as follows:

Soil: p H, C ation-Exchange C apacity ( CEC), R atio of
exchangeable bases, nitrification (Nitrates, ammonium, nitrite),

Texture, Concentration of Glyphosate and AMPA , phosphate
solubilizers, Percentage of Organic Matter, Total and available
Phosphorous, N itrogen f asteners, ba cteria count, f ungi,
actinomycetes ( these l ast t hree ar e ad ditional). It ex cludes
earthworm analysis, taking account that toxicity of Glyphosate

active ingredient is mild, according to existing literature.

8 Annex 34

Water: Glyphosate and AMPA concentration, pH, electrical
conductivity, temperature, dissolved oxygen, chemical oxygen
demand, nitrification (Nitrates, ammonium, Nitrites), dissolved
phosphate, magnesium and calcium. Turbidity and color
parameters are excluded since they are not considered

representative for impact assessment of active ingredient:
Glyphosate.

Sediments: This Record excludes the analysis of this
component, sinc e taking of sample is time consuming and

requires complex equipment, which for reasons of security,
logistics and public order it is not possible to do. Given the
logistical issues and risks to personnel, this Ministry considers
it appropriate not to sample sediments.

The Ministry welcomes DNE´s proposal to conduct
regeneration and ecological dynamics studies of sprayed areas
and the determination of the residual glyphosate in soil and its
effect on the physical-chemical properties of same, under real
load conditions, for each PECIG´s operation nucleus.

The proposed Record includes the following activities and
people responsible for same:

1. Analysis of Plant Succession

• Aerial photography and videos by the Anti -Narcotics
Police, as part of the environmental monitoring whose
results will be submitted to the Ministry of Environment.

• Multitemporal analysis of vegetation, which is the
product of the SIMCI project (Illicit Crops Integrated
Monitoring System) led by the Ministry of Interior and
Justice wh ich will send results to the Ministry of
Environment.

2. Residue analysis of Glyphosate and AMPA

• Monitoring Planning: will be done with the participation
of the National Police, Anti-Narcotics Directorate, National
Health Institute and Agustín Codazzi Geographic Institute
of Colombia (IGAC).

9Annex 34

• Water and soil sampling and packing of same, by
IGAC´s technicians in soil and INS or by the entity
assigned by the INS for the purpose, in water resource.

• Submission of samples to laboratories by technicians

who collected the samples.

• Laboratory tests and results will be made by IGAC and
INS, in soils and water, respectively.

• Comparison of results for nucleus and frequencies
specified in the Record and submission to the Ministry of
Environment by DNE.

• RECORD. COMMUNICATION AND SOCIAL
MANAGEMENT PROGRAM. Incorporates Record No. 9
– Social management Program, Record No. 10, Education

and Communication Program, No. 12 Environmental
Management and Inter -institutional Coordination
Program.

COMMENTS OF THE MINISTRY

The Ministry authorizes the amendment and integration of
the Sheet proposed by the National Narcotics Directorate.

• RECORD 7. PUBLIC HEALTH PROGRAM.
Corresponds to Health care activities included in Sheet
No. 9 – Social Management Program of current EPM.
This Sheet is added to the EMP as a new Public Health

Program.

COMMENTS OF THE MINISTRY

This Record is included in the EMP document to be
evaluated as a new Program, which includes health care
activities included in Record No. 9 – Social Management

Program of current Plan. The content of this Record is the

10 Annex 34

result of an agreement reached by the Ministry of Social

Protection, DNE and DIRAN. It currently has a budget for
its implementation and is being developed by the National
Health Institute (INS). This Record is the responsibility of
the Ministry of Social Protection.

• RECORD 8. CONTINGENCY PLAN. Corresponds to
current Record No. 13. – PECIG´s Contingency Plan.

COMMENTS OF THE MINISTRY

This Sheet replaces current Sheet No. 13 of EMP which
also corresponds to PECIG´s Contingency Plan; it
maintains the structure of the previous plan and states
responsibilities in a more precise manner.

3. TECHNICAL OPINION

After an assessment made to the amendment document of the Program

for the Eradication of Illicit Crops by Aerial Spraying with Glyphosate
-PECIG , the Ministry is of the opinion:

1. From the technical and environmental point of view, it is
viable to amend the Program for the Eradication of Illicit
Crops by Aerial Spraying with Glyphosate -PECIG - according
to the proposal submitted by the National Narcotics
Directorate (DNE) in the communication referred to above and

taking account of the following conditions:
a. The entities responsible for the compliance with the
Environmental Management Plan Record s must submit

semiannual reports describing all activities undertaken in the
EMP, including training programs developed during this
period, specifically detailing the activities undertaken to
comply with the buffer strips on environmental issues.

b. DNE must submit, within 60 days, the schedule and the
General Budget for the amended Program for the Eradication
of Illicit Crops by Aerial Spraying with Glyphosate –PECIG.

11Annex 34

c. The dosage authorized by ICA and accepted by the Ministry
per Resolution 099 of January 31, 2003 is maintained.

Preliminary pretreatment of samples. Prior to analysis, soil samples were homogenized,
sieved through sieve No. 5 (4.0 mm) ASTM series and took the moisture content below

10% at room temperature to avoid losses of the compounds of interest.

Extraction of glyphosate and AMPA in soil. The extraction treatment applied corresponds
to soil samples with high clay content and organic matter according to the classification of
texture samples sent by the IGAC. 25 grams of the samples were weighed, which were
subjected to extraction with 0.2 M KOH for 15 minutes; the sample was centrifuged at

1500 rpm and filtered through filter paper, glass fiber; the residue was resubmitted to the
extraction, centrifugation and filtration proce. he extract obtained was concentrated to
5 ml and passed through anion exchange column OH-form, the analyte of interest was
eluted with 0.5 M HCl; the extract obtained was dry and redissolved in 2 ml of mobile
phase used in reading by HPLC.

Later, in order to perform the identification of compounds of interest, Glyphosate and
AMPA, derivatization of the extract obtained was conducted.

Derivatization. Glyphosate and AMPA Standards as well as the sample extracts were

subjected to the process of derivatization with p-toluenesulfonyl chloride under alkaline
conditions. 1 ml extract was in alkaline conditions with phosphate buffer pH 11.2; 0.2 ml
of reagent p-toluensutfonil chloride was added and reaction was at 50° C for 5 minutes in
thermostatic bath.

Quantification of glyphosate and AMPA. Quantification was performed by external standard

method using calibration curve in the range of 10 to 30 nμ/1 of the derivatives

64 Annex 39

of glyphosate paratoluensulfonyl chloride and AMPA - p- toluensulfonyl
chloride prepared from certified standard Dr. Ehrenstorfer GMBH.

HPLC Reading conditions. A Nucleoside column C18 250 mm x 4.6 mm id was

used, mobile phase phosphate buffer pH 2.3 - acetonitrile 85:15 v/v. Flow 1.0
ml/min., Injection volume: 10μL. Reading wavelength of 235 nm.

“Verification of selected points was conducted by helicopter over flights around the

coordinate defined, by assessing the following aspects:

− Effects on the environment, identifying the effect on other coverages, drift and the
existence of housing or water bodies within the sprayed area.

− Additional observations, identifying the evidence or not of re seeding or pruning
activities, field conditions and those othersituations that may be consider ed of
interest for verification

“Environmental monitoring activities to be performed on the nucleus of illicit crops in
Putumayo - Caquetá, correspond to the sampling of water and soil for the phases before

and immediately after spraying, according to the research protocol established in the P lan
Environmental Management PECIG.

“For this pur pose, helic opter transport was performed from the military base in Villa

Garzón to an area near the border with Ec uador, where the PECIG is scheduled to begin
spraying to eradicate coca crops. We performed a total of three descents in sites that will
later be sprayed and the geographical coordinates of which are presented in the table
below, by taking samples of water, soil and plant material, according to protocol
established by the ICA.

77Annex 40-A

“These samples were properly packaged, labeled, refrigerated and then sent to Bogota for
the respective analysis.

Sampling of the second phase (post -spraying) was not possible due to adverse weather
conditions which prevented conducting this activity which must be reprogramed again by
the Anti-Narcotics Police.

That taking into account the above the above opinion concluded that:

As a result of field observations conducted in the sites selected for verification, the
following considerations are made:

[Page 4]

1. Observations during the verification of complaints

The majority of the sprayed coca crops are located in areas suitable for forestry, which
have been continuously being taken over by the removal of natural vegetation, making
them suitable for installation of pastures and crops, including coca. Illicit crops are located
in areas of flat to undulating relief, characterized by poor soils, r egularly drained and
subject to erosion and denuded processes.

Some of the plots sprayed were subject to replanting practices, observing the practice of
intercropping of banana, fruit and yucc a plants in coca cultivation. Side effects from
spraying are caused by the effect of drift of the spray; in that sense there was no evidence

the loss of foliage in arboreal and bush species was not evidenced, in areas adjacent to
sprayed plots. No adverse effect to lawful economic activities was observed, other than
that which was inside the coca plots.

The monitoring allows showing the continuity of slash and burn practices for the adapting

of areas for agricultural activities or eventually, the planting of coca crops. Likewise, during
the course, coca seedlings and primary infrastructure for the processing of coca leaf were
observed.

In sprayed and abandoned sites, the natural regeneration processes are evident and they
are present in varying degrees, depending on the weather and soil conditions.

Practices of intercropping and fractioning of illicit with licit crops continues to occur in most
of the sites evaluated. The intercropping of coca is generally made with plantain, corn ,

yucca and fruit trees.

2. Environmental Monitoring Activity

Practices of intercropping and fractioning of illicit with licit crops continues to occur in most
of the sites evaluated. The intercropping of coca is generally made with plantain, corn ,
yucca and fruit trees.

2. Environmental Monitoring Activity

Environmental Monitoring activities in water and soil in the Putumayo - Caquetá nucleus,
before spraying, was conducted in three (3) different p lots and was performed to

determine the behavior of residues of glyphosate and its metabolite AMPA, and its
possible relationship to physicochemical and biological properties thereof, taking several
samples in one same plot , in accordance with protocols approved by the Agustin Codazzi
Geographical Institute - IGAC and the Colombian Agricultural Institute - ICA, for sampling

of soil and water.

The purpose of the se analyses is to understand the dynamics of glyphosate and its
metabolite AMPA and their effect on physicochemical and biological properties of water
and soil and to assess the impact of the application, by comparing residues in sampled

plots before spraying, immediately thereafter, 60, 90 and 180 days after spraying, if
warranted.

[Page 5]

1. With respect to the verification visit to the sites that were the subject of complaints by
spraying with glyphosate, the implementation of new coca crops were widely observed, in
some cases intercropped with subsistence crops and seedlings ready for planting new
coca areas; there were no side effects on forest vegetation near the sprayed plots ; also

noted were that the lots that had been abandoned show natural regeneration processes,
with herbaceous vegetation and shrubs.

In general and according to what was verified in all areas that contain illicit crops, the most

important impact to the environment is being caused by the effect of indiscriminate logging
and burning to which extensive areas of forest cover are being subjected, and putting at
risk the stability ofthe ecosystems and the environmental functions derived therefrom.
There, agricultural activities are established, both licit and illic, as are activities like
livestock, which further increase and enhance the deterioration of the natural environment.

Considering that Resolution No. 017 of 2001 of the National Narcotics Board has
delegated to the Anti- Narcotics Police, DIRAN, and to the National Narcotics Division,
DNE, the responsibility to conduct the p rocessing of complaints arising from the PECIG

operation, these will be the entities that will issuethe corresponding Opinion on the
findings of the field visit. In this regard, the Ministry verifies the performance of the activity
by the entities listed, as part of compliance with the measures set out in Sheet No. 6 of the
Environmental Management Plan.

2. As for the Environmental Monitoring, the first phase of this activity was held, according
to the protocol, pending the stages after spraying of plots, since due to bad weather it was
not possible to perform this activity, therefore being postponed and will be held as soon as
the Anti-Narcotics Police, DIRAN, schedules it.

The Environmental Monitoring Results for the Putumayo - Caquetá nucleus and
concerning the dynamics of glyphosate and its metabolite AMPA and their effect on the
physicochemical and biological characteristics of water and soil by comparing residues i n
sampled plots before spraying, i mmediately thereafter, sixty (60), ninety (90) an d one

hundred eighty (180) days after spraying, if warranted, will be delivered by the National
Narcotics Directorate in the semiannual report.

79Annex 40-A

In keeping with the purpose of the visit and the considerations submitted, this opinion does
not make additional or specific requirements to the other agencies responsible for
implementing the Environmental Management Plan.

“The arrival to each of the sites was done in helicopter, proceeding to locate the exact

coordinates of the area to verify, with the use of the satellite geopositioners. Once the site
has been located, the helicopter pilot made double 360-degree spins in both directions and
at low altitude in order to have a better appreciation of the lots to verify.

“Attached to this Opinion are the routes and coordinates of the field visit of the complaints

stemming from the Program for the Eradication of illicit crops with glyphosate.”

The aforementioned technical opinion considered the following:

“As a result of the observations in the field advanced to the sites selected for verification,
the following considerations are made:

“Observations made in the Verification of Complaints

“The majority of the sprayed coca crops are located in areas suitable for forestry, which
have been continuously being taken over by the removal of natural vegetation, making
them suitable for installation of pastures and crops, including co ca. Illicit crops are located
in areas of flat to undulating relief, characterized by poor soils, regularly drained and

subject to erosion and denuded processes.

the loss of foliage in tree and shrub species in areas adjacent to the sprayed plots. In the
areas evaluated there was no indication of impact on licit economy, different from that
found in the coca plots.

“The monitoring allows showing the continuity of slash and burn practices for the adapting
of areas for agricultural activities or eventually, the planting of coca crops. Likewise, during
the course, coca seedlings and primary infrastructure for the processing of coca leaf were
observed.

“In sprayed and abandoned sites, the natural regeneration processes are evident and they

Prior to conducting field activities, a meeting was held in Larandia Military Base in the

province of Caqueta, with the participation of officials from the participating institutions and
Eradication and Aviation Areas of the National Police, to assess the security of the area
and to schedule the activities to be implemented during descents to the monitoring points.

In consideration of the difficult public order situation occurring in the area, the entry to the

monitoring sites required the support of eight armed helicopters, an air saving and rescue
helicopter, intelligence service aircraft and ten Jungle units of the National Police as well
as ground support by the National Army.

Advanced activity corresponds to the second phase of monitoring of this nucleus or post
aspersion replica, including sampling of soil , water and vegetation of two plots already
sprayed, as well as a control group that has not been spray ed, located within an
indigenous reserve. The analysis of these samples will assess the residuality of the

herbicide used by the Eradication Program for this particular nucleus in different periods of
time.

The plots are located in the municipality of Orito, Putumayo, on the border with Ecuador.
The geographical coordinates for each site are as follows:

Geographical Coordinate
Plot North West Spray Date
1 00° 16’ 06” 76° 46’ 24” July 14 - 2004

2 00° 16’ 11” 76° 47’ 57” July 14 - 2004
Control group in
3 00 ° 18’ 04” 76° 53’ 39” reservation area, not

[Page 2]

The aforementioned technical opinion considered the following:

− The collection of water and soil samples was conducted in accordance with the ICA
protocols established for this purpose. These were properly packed, labeled and

refrigerated for later transport to Bogota, fulfilling the corresponding chain of
custody.

− The two lots sprayed show partial impact of the herbicide on the coca plantation,

inferring that the spraying was done only on one part of the cultivated area, and
that part of the sprayed underwent recovery practices such as looting.

− In the vicinity there are extensive plo ts with coca , mixed or intercropped with

plantain and yucca, as well as seedlings in full production of coca plantlets.

90 Annex 40-B

− The plot located within the reservation area has a coca plantation with bushes

surpassing 1.50 meters high, which indicates that the crop is older than one year;
the site is not subject to total cultural practices for weed control , showing only one
plating around each plant coca. The rest of the plot is covered with low growing
natural grass.

− In the treated plots there was no collateral damage from spraying . Water samples
were taken at points that are loc ated outside the sprayed plots given that within
these bodies there were no lotic or lentic waters.

− According to the monitoring protocol established in the Environmental Management
Plan, the next monitoring phase for this Nucleus must be within a period of 60
days. The results obtained from the analysis of these samples will be evaluated
comprehensively with the samples already taken and the remaining of the

monitoring process for this Nucleus.

− The process o f environmental monitoring for the de finition of the residuality of
glyphosate and its metabolite in the Caqueta - Putumayo illicit crop spraying

Nucleus continues in accordance with the guidelines of the Environmental
Management Plan - PECIG, following for these purposes, the protocols established
for this activity.
