40
Criteria for distribution of funds to the projects proposed by the municipalities (according to item 5.7.3 of the Settlement):
1. Socio spatial dimension of the Paraopeba River bed in relation to the total area of the municipality
In order to measure the presence of the Paraopeba River in each of the municipalities, the proportion between the length of the Paraopeba River channel in the municipality (km) and the total area of the municipality (km²) will be calculated. To this effect, the extent of the Paraopeba River channel in each municipality (km) will be divided by the total area of the municipality (km2). We will use data from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), the National Water Agency (ANA), and the Minas Gerais Water Management Institute (IGAM). The criterion has the standard weight used in the construction of the methodology (7/50).
2. Proximity of the municipality to the Collapse site
The municipalities will be classified on a scale of 1 to 5, according to their proximity to the Collapse site, and the municipalities closer to Córrego do Feijão Mine, which suffered greater environmental, social and economic impacts, will receive a higher score, while the more distant municipalities will receive a lower score. The reference adopted for the classification will be the subdivision of the municipalities proposed by the Prosecution Office of Minas Gerais, in five areas of operation of the Independent Technical Advisors (ATIs), where municipalities in region 1 will receive grade 5, region 2 will receive grade 4, region 3 will receive grade 3, region 4 will receive grade 2, and region 5 will receive grade 1. The municipalities that may not be on the list of ATIs’ operations will be evaluated with the same score obtained by the closest bordering municipalities. The data source will be the list of municipalities per region of operation of the ATIs. The criterion has the standard weight used in the construction of the methodology (7/50).
3. Percentage of total approximate population
The data source will be the population projection of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) for 2020. For the calculation, the approximate total population of each municipality will be divided by the sum of the approximate total population of all the municipalities. The objective therefor is to understand the proportion of inhabitants of each municipality in relation to the total population, approaching the logic of per capita
41
distribution. For a better understanding of the number of people affected in each municipality, the population criterion will be weighted (8/50).
4. Municipal Human Development Index (2010)
The Municipal Human Development Index (HDI) is an adaptation, made by IPEA and FJP, of the global methodology of the Human Development Index (HDI), of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP). The variables used are: long and healthy life - longevity; access to knowledge - education; standard of living - income. The index ranges from 0 to 1, being 0 low municipal human development and 1 high municipal human development. HDI is calculated based on the national census data conducted every ten years. The polarity of the index is “the higher, the better”, therefore, to operationalize the calculation, which aims at attributing a higher score to the municipalities with lower human development, it is necessary to invert the polarity of the index, making it “the higher, the worse” - this can be done by calculating “=1 - [index amount]”. The data sources will be the Institute for Applied Economic Research (IPEA) and the João Pinheiro Foundation (FJP). The criterion has the standard weight used in the construction of the methodology (7/50).
5. FIRJAN Municipal Development Index
A summary of the annual socioeconomic indicator developed by the Federation of Industries of Rio de Janeiro (FIRJAN), which comprises variables related to employment and income; education; and health, obtained from the Ministries of Labor, Education and Health. The variables are related to municipal competences, such as: maintenance of a business environment conducive to local jobs and income generation, early childhood and elementary education, and basic health care.
The index ranges from 0 to 1, being 0 low municipal development and 1 high municipal development. The polarity of the index is “the higher, the better”, therefore, to operationalize the calculation, which aims at attributing a higher score to the municipalities with lower municipal development, it is necessary to invert the polarity of the index, making it “the higher, the worse” - this can be done by calculating “=1 - [index amount]”.
The data source will be the 2018 IFDM (base year 2016) and, in the absence of such data for a given municipality, the base year 2015 will be adopted. Although the FIRJAN Index measures dimensions similar to the HDI, the decision was to use it also due to its annual periodicity, with more recent and updated data in relation to the reality of the municipalities. The criterion has the standard weight used in the construction of the methodology (7/50).
6. Social Vulnerability Index
Indicator calculated by IPEA based on the demographic census, that seeks to measure dimensions related to the insufficiency of essential resources for the well-being and quality of life of the population, generating situations of social vulnerability. The index is composed of sixteen indicators, organized in three dimensions (urban infrastructure; human capital; income and work). The index ranges from 0 to 1, with 0 being low social vulnerability and 1
42
being high social vulnerability. Unlike the previous two, its polarity is “the bigger, the worse”, and no adjustment is needed to make it operational. The criterion has the standard weight used in the construction of the methodology (7/50).
7. Percentage of population under poverty and extreme poverty conditions (CadÚnico)
The CadÚnico is the national system for registering the population in order to have access to social policies. To calculate the index, the number of people registered with a monthly per capita income between BRL0.00 and BRL89.00 (extreme poverty) and between BRL89.01 and BRL178.00 (poverty) is divided by the approximate total population of the municipality, according to the IBGE’s population projection for 2020. The data source is CECAD 2.0, a platform for consultation, selection, and extraction of information from CadÚnico and the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE). The criterion has the standard weight used in the construction of the methodology (7/50).
Criterion | | Weight |
Socio spatial dimension of the Paraopeba River bed in relation to the total area of the municipality | | 7 |
Proximity of the municipality to the Collapse site | | 7 |
Percentage of total estimated population (2020) | | 8 |
Municipal Human Development Index (2010) | | 7 |
FIRJAN Municipal Development Index | | 7 |
Social Vulnerability Index | | 7 |
Percentage of population under poverty and extreme poverty conditions (CadÚnico) | | 7 |
Total Weight | | 50/50 |
For calculation purposes, the 8/50 weight will be used for the percentage of total estimate population in 2020 (IBGE) criterion and the 7/50 weight for all other criteria. The sum of the weighted scores in each criteria will indicate the percentage corresponding to each municipality.
In summary, the score of each municipality in each criterion will be divided by the sum of the scores of all municipalities in the respective criterion, multiplied by the weight associated with it. Then the amount will be divided by 50 (sum of the weights assigned to the criteria) and the municipality’s final percentage will be obtained by adding up the scores of the municipalities in each criterion.
The formula may be operated by considering:
[Amount of municipality A in criterion 1 / (Sum of amounts of all municipalities in criterion 1) * Weight of criterion 1 / (Sum of weights associated with all criteria)] + [Amount of municipality A in criterion 2 / (Sum of amounts of all municipalities in criterion 2) * Weight of criterion 2 / (Sum of weights associated with all criteria)] ... +
43
[Amount of municipality A in criterion 7 / (Sum of amounts of all municipalities in criterion 2) * Weight of criterion 7 / (Sum of weights associated with all criteria)]

5087481-40.2019.8.13.0024 | | Amendment | | 2.

This request, as seen, is important to avoid that Vale alone decide who is affected or not. In the event the person elects not to be submitted to Vale, or is denied by the company, or even if such person does not classify within the sorting parameters to meet the DPMG, or intends to be assisted by a trusted lawyer, the alternative for said person to seek payment of a debt acknowledged in court must be available upon liquidation and execution.

Finally, it should be stressed that the authorization, as requested, should be restricted to issues where early settlement does not present the possibility of future harm to the affected parties, that is, with regard to the rights addressed in clauses 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15; | | Dismissal with prejudice - Civil Procedure Code - CPC, article 487, III, b) |
