b) Review of the detailed measurement survey (“DMS”) documents to establish a baseline for monitoring and evaluating project benefits. The EMA will check on a random basis the DMS process with PAPs from identification to agreement on DMS results. All survey data shall be disaggregated by gender;

c) Review of the socio-economic survey (“SES”) baseline prepared during RAP

preparation and updating (following DD).3 Sampling will include 20% of severely affected PAPs for the Project and 10% of all other PAPs. As much as possible, the same PAPs interviewed during RAP updating will be interviewed for each subsequent monitoring exercise.

d) Conduct of Participatory Rapid Appraisals (“PRA”). The PRA will involve obtaining

information, identifying existing or potential problems, and finding specific time-bound solutions through participatory means including (i) consultations with PAPs and various stakeholders such as a resettlement committee, the PMO, and community leaders, (ii) key informant interviews, (iii) focus group discussions, and (iv) community public meetings;

e) Conduct of direct field observations to document the status of resettlement

implementation from the perspectives of the PAPs and other key stakeholders involved in the RAP implementation;

f) Conduct case studies of displaced persons or communities of various socio-economic

groups to assess impact of resettlement and effectiveness and RAP mitigation measures;

3 SES was carried out by JICA Design Team (“JDT”) in parallel with DMS during RAP updating.

g) Document lessons learned in using international best practices for replacement cost valuation as stipulated in the project principles and implementation experiences of DOTr;

h) Verify the Replacement Cost Study (“RCS”). The EMA will review the adequacy of

methodologies and standards for determining compensation rates prior to RAP implementation as well as subsequently review the ability of PAPs to replace affected assets with the compensation received. The EMA will review Independent Property Appraiser’s (“IPA”) reports, Government Financing Institution (“GFI”) reports, and internal monitoring reports to confirm if replacement cost values have been applied. The review of PAPs’ ability to replace affected assets will include (i) the ability of PAPs to purchase comparable land or assets by the compensation received, (b) the location of replacement land and distance from affected land, and (c) any assistance and inputs which PAPs need to find suitable replacement land;

i) Review of the effectiveness of the GRM and the status of grievance resolution. This

will include interviews with PMO and organizations responsible for GRM implementation, review GRM documentation, and gathering information from interviews with PAPs on accessibility and effectiveness of the GRM4;

j) Review of the effectiveness of the consultation processes conducted during project

preparation and implementation. The EMA will review the meaningful consultations conducted with the PAPs and review the completeness and timeliness of information provided and whether the process was inclusive or not. The EMA will also review the consultation process for determining housing and livelihood options including whether PAPs had adequate opportunity to present their ideas and suggestions;

k) Conduct of resettlement audit during monitoring. The EMA will carry out random

checks of payment disbursed to PAPs during monitoring. The EMA will submit the Resettlement Audit Report (“RAR”) upon completion of compensation payment to PAPs.

2. The methodology for external environmental monitoring shall include, but not necessarily be limited to the following:

a) Review of the EIS, EMP, and EMoP prepared during the DD phase of the Project;

Vicente. Given that San Vicente is

the center of commerce in Apalit,

heavy road congestion is expected

during construction.

o Access of goods and services

is through the Macabebe

Road. The frequent use of

the road by these delivery

vehicles may cause delay on

the transport of

construction materials and

vice versa.

o Transport of construction

materials should be part of

the Traffic Management

Plan in a way that it would

not interfere with the

delivery of goods and

2. OBJECTIVES AND SCOPE

2.1. OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN

3. As part of the compliance to ECC conditions for the NSCR Clark Extension Project, DOTr is

required to “submit detailed waste management program (WMP) for proper handling, collection and

disposal of solid, hazardous and liquid wastes to EMB Central Office (CO) and EMB Region III within

six (6) months prior to project construction. Proof of implementation shall be submitted together with

the CMR.”1.

4. The Proponent has prepared this Project Waste Management Plan as a basis for the detailed

WMP to be developed by the Contractors as part of the Contractors Environmental Management and

Monitoring Plan (CEMMP).. Similar plans would be required for the site clearance activities (Pre-

Construction) and the railway operation (Operations).

5. The purpose of this Project Waste Management Plan (WMP) is thus to ensure that waste

generated in the pre-construction, construction and operational phases of the project is managed and

disposed of legally and in a way that protects both public health and the environment. The objective of

this Project WMP is to:

• Determine the types of waste that will be generated by the project;

• Estimate the volume of waste generated;

• Determine the capacity of LGUs and local waste streams for disposal;

• Identify alternative options for disposal if estimated volumes exceed local waste stream capability;

1 ECC Condition No.3, Annex A of the ECC issued to DOTr for the Malolos-Clark Railway Project (MCRP),

2018. CMR stands for “Compliance Monitoring Report”.


Page 3

• Outline the management controls that will be implemented to ensure waste is disposed of

according to this WMP and evidence to be submitted with the CMR;

• Outline required legal compliances; and

• Provide guidance on how to minimize, handle, control, re-use, recycle and dispose of all waste

generated all throughout project implementation.

2.2. SCOPE

6. This Project WMP is intended to form the foundation and strategy for the more detailed Waste

Management Plans to be developed by the responsible parties for the three separate phases of the project:

(1) Pre-construction; (2) Construction; and (3) Operation.

7. The pre-construction site clearance operation will be commissioned and managed by DOTr,

the proponent or their appointed agents the General Consultants. A site clearance contractor and tree

cutting contractor will be appointed. Both of them will be required to complete a WMP to specify the

ultimate disposal of the materials they remove from site.

8. Construction of the North-South Commuter Railway Clark Extension Project will be divided

in six contracts. Each contractor will be required to produce a separate Site WMP that integrates the

requirements of this Project WMP with details of their own specific plans. All Contractors’ Site WMP

will be submitted to the Proponent’s Engineer (General Consultants) for approval as part of the

CEMMP.

9. The contractors have been given a number of choices in the contract documents that will affect

the details of their WMP such as whether or not to build a concrete batching plant or to sub-contract to

existing concrete suppliers. They are also given the choice of utilizing Contractor’s Yard Sites identified

by the design team or to identify their own. Furthermore, sites for spreading spoil have been suggested

in the bidding documents but the contractor is free to find his own disposal solutions. Notwithstanding

these uncertainties, the requirements of the Contractor WMP will remain the same.

10. The Operation of the railway will be put out to tender at a later date. The operation of the

railway includes operating trains, stations and the maintenance and stabling depot.

11. The main waste generating activities at each stage and the parties responsible for the WMP

are summarized in Table 2.2.1.

Exclusions

12. Waste generators not included in the scope of the Project WMP are electricity infrastructure

changes (new connections by power supply companies) which will be covered under existing

obligations of the electricity suppliers.

2.3. APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY

Approach to waste minimization

Waste management on the project will be guided by the widely accepted waste hierarchy illustrated

below in Figure 2.3.1.


Page 5

Source: National Solid Waste Management Commission

13. The inverted triangle represents the relative volumes of waste at each stage with the aim being

to avoid most waste by design and only have to dispose of a small amount. A brief summary of the

meaning of each stage of the hierarchy is as follows:

• Avoidance: Where possible the contractor will choose processes and maintain work procedures

that avoid the generation of waste.

• Reduction: The contractor will reduce the generation of unnecessary waste by considering in its

planning and purchasing decisions the final disposal of waste generated.

• Reuse: The contractor will always consider reusing materials before disposal.

• Recycling: The contractor will ensure the separation of waste materials in order to maximize

recycling.

• Treatment: The contractor will reduce the need for treatment by avoiding toxic products or will

segregate and ensure specialist treatment to recover material if possible. The contractor will treat

wastes such as liquid wastes before discharge to the environment.

• Disposal: The final and least desirable option is disposal into a sanitary landfill site for burial.

Methodology

14. Relevant national laws were reviewed and summarized. The responsibilities under the laws of

the Philippines have been outlined.

15. Analysis of the stages and activities of the project has been made and a list of predicted wastes

has been determined. For major waste streams a prediction of the volume of waste generation has been

made in consultation with the JICA Design Team.

16. The 10-year Solid Waste Management Plans (SWMP) in each of the 10 municipalities/cities

through which the rail alignment passes, were reviewed and the LGU’s consulted as to the waste processing services available locally. Specialized waste processors for toxic and hazardous waste that

serve the provinces of Bulacan, Pampanga and Tarlac were identified from DENR-EMB accredited lists.

3.1. RELATIONSHIP TO ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT

17. The project received approval of the submitted Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) on

13th August 2018 and the project was issued with an Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC). As

stated in Section 2.1 above, this Project WMP is to fulfill Condition 3 of the ECC.

3.2. NATIONAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS

Laws and Regulations Pertaining to Waste Management

18. The applicable laws, rules and regulations affecting waste management in the Project as a

whole, and particularly disposal, consist of the following:

• Republic Act (RA) 9275 or the Clean Water Act, and its Implementing Rules and Regulations,

DENR Administrative Order (DAO) 2016-08;

• Republic Act (RA) 9003 or the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000 and its

Implementing Rules and Regulations, DAO 2001-34;

• Republic Act 6969 or the Toxic Substances, Hazardous and Nuclear Wastes Control Act of 1990

and its Implementing Rules and Regulations, DAO 2013-22, DAO 2000-02, EMB Memorandum

• DAO 2013-24: Chemical Control Order for Lead and Lead Compounds

• DAO 2004-01: Chemical Control Order (CCO) for Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs)

• DAO 2000-02: Chemical Control Order (CCO) on Asbestos

• DAO 1997-39: Chemical Control Order for Cyanide and Cyanide Compounds

• DAO 1997-38: Chemical Control Order for Mercury and Mercury Compounds

• MC 2008-008 - Effluent Quality Monitoring Manual

DENR Administrative Order (DAO) 2016-08: Water Quality Guidelines and General Effluent Standard and related standards

19. One of the objectives of DAO 2016-08 is to control the quality of waste water that is

discharged to a watercourse. The allowable levels of pollutants depend on the classification of the

receiving waterway. DENR has classified waterways into five classes, with AA being the highest quality

and D the lowest. Table 3.2.1 reproduces Table 1 of the DAO 2016-08 and explains the five quality

levels. As noted in this table EMB should be consulted for water body classification and will determine

the beneficial use for previously unclassified rivers2.

20. Discharges form any point source shall at all times meet the general effluent standards in Table

3 ‘Water Quality Guidelines for Primary Parameters’ in DAO 2016-08 reproduced in Table 3.2.2

below. In addition, Table 8 ‘Significant Effluent Quality Parameters per sector’ in DAO 2016-08 lists

the industry specific parameters [organized by Philippine Standard Industrial Code (PSIC)] that must

be monitored. Extracts from Table 8 of the DAO are reproduced below in Table 3.2.3. In cases where

the discharging activity does not fall into one of the identified sectors the EMB should be consulted for

a decision.

2 Current classifications are found at http://water.emb.gov.ph/?page_id=757



Page 7

21. A discharge to a watercourse requires a permit. The Permitting process is outlined in DAO-

2004-25. In practice the discharger is required to monitor the significant pollutants produced in the

discharge and these form the basis of the monitoring plan. The contractor should seek approval of EMB

for any exemptions.

22. An Effluent Quality Monitoring Plan must be produced in accordance with the EMB

Memorandum Circular 2008-008 (Effluent Quality Monitoring Manual). Self-Monitoring Plan

requirements are outlined in DAO 2003-27. After agreeing the monitoring plan with EMB and being

awarded the permit, the Contractor must record his inspection sampling and submit a self-monitoring

report to EMB every quarter.

Table 3.2.1 Waterbody Classification and Usage of Freshwater

RA 9003: Ecological Solid Waste Management

23. RA 9003 created the institutional mechanisms and incentives for the implementation of an

ecological solid waste management program at the LGU level. The implementing rules are contained in

DAO No. 2001-34.

24. Under the Act, DENR is responsible for setting up and heading the National Solid Waste

Management Commission (SWMC) and serves as the coordinating body to develop and implement the

National Solid Waste Management Framework.

25. The local government unit (LGU) is responsible for setting up a Solid Waste Management

Board (SWMB) and is required by the Act to formulate a 10-year local Ecological Solid Waste

Management Plans instituting an effective and sustainable solid waste management plan with primary

emphasis on implementation of all feasible re-use, recycling and composting programs. Residual and

special waste is required to go to a sanitary landfill site.

26. In practice, many LGU’s have struggled to fully implement the Act and Engineered landfills have only been built in a few areas. Most LGU have a Material Recycling Facility (MRF) at the

Barangay level where mixed waste is sorted into waste streams.

27. Based on RA 9003, solid wastes are classified into four (4) waste streams:

• Compostable;

• Recyclable;

• Residual/non-recyclable; and


Page 9

• Special wastes.

Special wastes include bulky wastes (items too large to be disposed in normal channels), hazardous

wastes, including waste electrical, electronic equipment (WEEE). Examples are shown in Figure 3.2.1.

Source: IRR of RA 9003

Figure 3.2.1 Classification of Solid Wastes based on RA 9003

28. The IRR for RA 9003 and RA 6969 will be the basis for classifying and separating wastes that

will be generated from the project.

29. Sanitary landfill sites are categorized into four types dependent on the capacity amongst other

technical specifications as shown in Table 3.2.4..

LGU Solid Waste Management Plans

30. Each of the cities and municipalities along the railway alignment has submitted a 10-Year

SWMP to the National Solid Waste Management Commission (NSWMC). The purpose of the plan is

to detail how the LGU will collect and dispose of waste.

31. LGU SWMP vary somewhat from one locality to another, however most barangays or

groupings of barangays have implemented a MRF that sorts domestic and commercial waste into the

compostable, recyclable and residual wastes. Recyclable items such as cardboard and plastics and

reusable items are sometime sent through the junk shop system. The junk shop system shred or batch

materials and prepare for resale into the raw material market or repair or reuse items for resale. Few if

any barangays have an effective composting system so compostable waste may end up in landfill.

32. Domestic and Commercial (office and business) waste collection is carried out by private

waste operators or by the LGU in-house operation. These waste transporters arrange waste separation

and recycling and transport residual waste to the nearest sanitary landfill, which may be in neighboring

provinces.

33. As a result of the implementation of RA 9003 MRFs are established for each Barangay or

cluster of Barangays. The intended purpose of the MRF is to receive mixed waste for final sorting,

segregation, composting, and recycling.

34. Residual wastes in Region 3 are usually disposed at the Metro Clark Waste Management Corp.

Sanitary Landfill, located in Capas, Tarlac. The Clark Landfill also has a Treatment, Storage and

Disposal (TSD) Facilities for Toxic and Hazardous Waste (THW) but various other companies treat or

recycle hazardous and toxic wastes.

35. The older municipal open dump sites may still exist, but these are either closed or being closed

and rehabilitated. Under the RA 9003, disposing waste in these types of landfills is prohibited.

36.

37. Table 3.2.5 below outlines the waste stream facilities available or used by LGU to meet the

requirements of the Solid Waste Management Plan and Figure 3.2.2 shows the location of major MRF,

Sanitary Landfill sites and closed Open Dump Sites (ODS).

38. The Contractor will need to engage private or LGU waste contractor for collection and disposal

of the onsite domestic and commercial waste streams and an up-to-date list of accredited private waste

operators are available from the city or municipality Environment and Natural Resources Offices

(ENRO).

DAO 2014-02: Revised guidelines for Pollution Control Officer Accreditation

42. DAO 2014-02 requires the contractor to nominate a Pollution Control Officer (PCO) who has

received the EMB 40-hour PCO training to manage and monitor hazardous waste on site. The duties

and responsibilities of the PCO are as follows:

1. Ensure compliance with the requirements of PD 1586, RA 6969, RA 8749, RA 9003, RA 9275,

their respective implementing rules and regulations (IRRs), and other pertinent rules and

regulations;

2. Identify significant environmental aspects and impacts of the company’s operational activities and recommend possible mitigating measures for the formulation and preparation and/or review of the

DAO 2013-22 Management of Toxic and Hazardous Waste and related standards



48. DAO 2013-22 Revised Procedures and Standards for the management of Hazardous Wastes,

contains the revised procedures and standards for the implementation of RA 6969. It contains the

updated classification of THW, and outlines the requirements for Waste Generators and Waste

Transporters.

49. The following are some key points taken from the advice:

• The waste generator is determined to be large, medium or small depending on the amount of THW

produced. The waste generator must meet the requirements set out in Table 3.2 of DAO 2013-22.

• All hazardous wastes are classified by codes and must be identified before entering the waste stream

as set out in Table 2.1 of DAO 2013-22.

• THW transporters are registered and licensed to carry certain waste only.

• THW must be disposed of at a registered THW landfill sites or treater and a hazardous waste

manifest system must be used to identify waste transported.

• A trained Pollution Control Officer (PCO) should have responsibility for THW.

• THW should not be mixed and should be segregated and managed according to compatibility.

• Building demolition waste is not classified as THW unless it contains asbestos.

• The following are also not classified as THW: Septic tank effluents, spoils from quarrying and

excavation, wastewaters disposed on site through the sewage system as set out in Table 2.2 of DAO

2013-22.

• All hazardous waste containers or drums should be labelled (for storage purposes) as per DAO 2013-

22 requirements, using the template shown in Figure 3.2.3. Figure 3.2.3 Hazardous Waste Label

Figure 3.2.3 Hazardous Waste Label

50. The latest list of DENR-EMB accredited HW transporters and TSD facilities, as of December

31, 2018, is found in APPENDIX A, while the list of accredited residual waste transporters and sanitary

landfills in Region 3 is found in APPENDIX B.

DAO 2000-02: Chemical Control Order (CCO) on Asbestos

51. DAO 2000-02 is meant to control and regulate the use and disposal of asbestos into the

environment to avoid the adverse health consequences of exposure to asbestos.

52. Asbestos is most likely to be found in building materials where it has been used in mostly in

building materials (roofing shingles, ceiling and floor tiles, paper products, and asbestos cement

products).

53. DAO 2000-02 Section 9 (6) sets out the requirements for the removal of asbestos during

demolition. If asbestos is present it will be necessary to have removal carried out by companies licensed

by DENR and following the requirement in the Control Order.

DAO 2004-01: Chemical Control Order for Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs)

54. The DAO 2004-01 gives implementation provisions of Republic Act No. 6969

55. The need to follow PCBs disposal requirements may result from discovery of illegal or

improper dumping of waste that contained PCBs, such as transformer fluids or leaks (fugitive emissions)

from electrical transformers and capacitors containing PCBs that are removed as part of the project.

3.2.9 MC 2008-008 - Effluent Quality Monitoring Manual

56. The MC 2008-008 provides water quality monitoring manual in order to establish the uniform

quality control assurance on a nation-wide ambient water and effluent quality monitoring

3.3. IMPLICATIONS FOR WASTE MANAGEMENT PLANS

57. During the three phases of the project (Site Clearance, Construction and Operation) the

proponent and contractors/ operator must in particular:

• Make a check for asbestos or any other material subject to Chemical Control orders and make

separate plans for extraction and disposal using licensed companies;

• Empty any septic tanks in areas for demolitions and dispose of liquids to licensed waste water

treatment works;

• Ensure that the Solid Waste disposal operators are accredited by DENR and the LGU in which

they operate and separate ‘special wastes’ from the other types and if necessary separate the other

types into compostable, recyclable and residual (landfill) waste before collection;

• Ensure that Hazardous and Toxic Waste generated by construction and operations is separated and

stored appropriately and according to the regulations;

• Ensure that before transport of Hazardous and Toxic Waste to licensed waste facilities the waste is

labeled according to the manifest system and is only transported by licensed hazardous waste

transporters;

• Before any discharge to the local water drainage system, waste water is treated to meet appropriate

standards for the effluent and class of watercourse; and

• Monitor waste water discharges and submit monitoring reports to EMB quarterly.

4. WASTE STREAMS 4.1. INTRODUCTION

58. In this section the various types of waste the project will produce are identified and waste

volumes are predicted. If waste disposal volumes may overwhelm local disposal this is noted.

4.2. PRE-CONSTRUCTION

Tree Clearance and disposal

59. All trees within the project ROW will be removed. Trees will be cleared after obtaining the

Tree Cutting Permit from the DENR. The proponent will employ a contractor to cut down the trees and

dispose of them.

60. The tree survey has been completed in preparation for the application for tree cutting permit.

Tree inventory and re-survey3 results are shown in Table 4.2.1. Under the requirements of the Philippine

Regulations (DAO-16-2018) trees on Public lands over 15cm Diameter at Breast Height (DBH) should

be delivered to DENR for use in timber projects. In practice, the marketable trees will need to be

auctioned off to the timber trade and may end up in furniture, wood crafts, charcoal or as fuel. DENR

should be consulted as to procedures to dispose of the trees. The number of trees has the potential to

overwhelm DENR’s disposal process.

61. Trees less than 15cm DBH will require disposal either through the cutting contractor or by a

specification by the proponent. Allowing the contractor to dispose for profit should reduce the bid price

for the work. It is likely that a proportion of the wood will find a market for fuel or charcoal. Wood and

brash that the contractor cannot use may be chipped or transported for composting or industrial fuel. As

the chippings or brash cannot be left on site the contractor will have to transport elsewhere.

Computer-Aided-Design (CAD) and the kmz/kml files that has been observed and to determine the number of

additional affected trees within the project ROW.


Page 18

62. The proponent will coordinate with the DENR Region 3 Office on turning over of timber and

update the Waste Management Plan at the pre-construction stage.

63. After discussion with contractors about feasibility the tree clearance specifications will ensure

the waste wood and brash is chipped and disposed to composting or other reuse rather than land fill.

Clearance of other Houses and building on the ROW or expanded ROW

64. Houses built on the PNR ROW and houses and building outside the PNR that are purchased

under eminent domain in order to expand the ROW will be demolished. The exact number of houses

and buildings and their size has not been confirmed yet.

65. Some of the buildings are expected to contain septic tanks. These will be emptied before tanks

are removed and the pits filled in.

Clearance of ISF Housing

66. ISFs will be given the opportunity to retrieve construction materials from their own property,

but it is envisaged that the site will need to be cleared of a lot of outstanding materials. A clearance

contractor will be employed to demolish and remove any structures remaining on site and various other

dumped materials. To ensure the clearance contractor disposes of the rubble in the correct way the

proposed final disposal site will be submitted to the proponent for approval and the waste receipts

audited.

67. An estimate was made based on the structures recorded by the Resettlement Action Plan

(RAP) team. In total of approximately 2,400 structures were found on the project section. A typical

structure is a 4 m x 4 m x 2m high built with 2/3 with 8mm plywood timber and 1/3 with 100mm

concrete blocks on a concrete base 4 m x 4 m x 100mm. This amounts to 0.96m3 concrete blocks and

1.6m3 concrete base and 0.172m3 timber per structure. On top of this we assumed 16m2 of canvas

sheeting per structures. It is assumed the timber and sheeting will be recovered by owners leaving 2,304

m3 of concrete blocks and 3,840 m3 of concrete bases to be removed.

Residual waste on the ROW

68. It is expected that some general refuse will be left on site by ISFs in properties but also

informal waste dumps. This will also be cleared by the clearance contractor and disposed of at the nearest

landfill site.

69. If each dwelling left one 40L bag of domestic waste there will be 239m3 (2400 dwellings x

0.04m3) of domestic waste to dispose of. There may also be general refuse and surface dumping areas.

To ensure the clearance contractor disposes of the refuse in the correct way the final disposal site will

be submitted to the Engineer for approval and the waste receipts audited.

Hazardous Waste on the ROW

70. Initial inspection by RAP team suggests that there is little asbestos on site. Asbestos is most

likely to be in the form of previously salvaged asbestos concrete sheeting if present. However, in order

to deal with the risk of asbestos being present in some ISF dwellings. DOTr should arrange to carry out

an initial inspection by a qualified person. If asbestos is found a contractor registered for asbestos

clearance will be employed to remove the material safely and dispose at a licensed THW landfill

according to the requirements of DAO 2000-02.

71. There may be some other residual hazardous waste such as batteries, bulbs, oil, chemicals on

site. This will not be known until the site is assessed. To ensure this is properly disposed of the clearance

contractor will be asked make a hazardous material inspection in advance of general demolition to

separate hazardous material and dispose separately.


Page 19

72. The contract with the clearance contractor will have suitable contingency for asbestos

discovery and disposal in advance of any other demolition work. To ensure the clearance contractor

disposes of the hazardous waste in the correct way the final disposal site will be submitted to the

Engineer for approval and the waste receipts audited.

Summary of Pre-Construction Waste Streams and Process

73. The size of the project and the number of ISFs who are living on the Project ROW means that

there is substantial amount of waste to remove from the project ROW before construction can

commence.

74. At least two specialist contractors will be required. The tree cutting contractor and the

demolition and clearance contractor. It may also be necessary to use a specialist asbestos removal

contractor if asbestos is found.

75. A waste management plan will be prepared by the proponent or contractor for the pre-

construction phase and submitted to EMB for approval. This can only be completed once the contractor

is appointed and final details of the disposal methods are clear.

76. The proper disposal of the waste will be ensured by implementing the following specification

into the clearance contractor’s work requirements.

• Tree Cutting:

Agreeing a procedure and delivery schedule for the delivery of marketable timber to DENR

Region 3 Yard or other disposal option.

Determining a plan for the disposal of small wood / brash material with the contractor and

identifying the disposal route.

• ISF Dwelling and other Building Demolition:

Incorporate a specification for inspection and removal of asbestos if found before general

demolition and auditing the disposal manifest system.

Survey for and incorporate a specification for the emptying of septic tanks both formal

(purchased properties) and informal settler’s latrines. Determine the contractor’s proposed waste stream (landfill, re-use, crush etc) and waste manifest

system that can be implemented.

Attempt to recycle concrete, concrete blocks and other suitable building materials by crushing

to recycled aggregate.

4.3. CONSTRUCTION

Contracts

78. Seven contractors are expected to build the railway, wherein four will work on construction,

one on the depot, one on Electric and Mechanical (E&M) and one on the Rolling Stock. Rolling Stock

is not expected to generate any particular waste issues.

Grubbing Operation

79. The contractor is required to carry out the grubbing of the remaining roots and the removal of

the top 150mm of soil in preparation for construction. This soil is likely to be mixed with various bits

of rubble, tree roots and plants. This type of soil may not all be suitable for land raising for building

projects but may have use on land fill sites for cell creation, covering or filling quarried areas.

80. Across the whole route Malolos to CIA (51.9km x 30m x 0.15m plus additional amounts for

60m width stations) amounts to 241,500m3 of spoil. Table 4.3.1Table 4.3.1 shows the predicted

grubbing spoil volume itemized per contract package.


Page 21

81. The volumes calculated represent about 67 10-cu.m trucks per day if the work is carried out

in 3 months as planned.

82. The spoil will enter the market for spoil spreading in the local areas. This market for spoil

spreading will only become clear close to the time of the operation. Several areas have already been

identified as suitable for spoil spreading by the JICA Design Team. Since this has been confirmed with

land owners the capacity required is assured, however but the chosen contractors will make their own

choice based on the cost and benefits of what is available in the market at the time.

Excavations Waste (Spoil)

83. Construction of each pier involves the excavation of multiple piles and pile caps at each pier

location at a usual spacing of 40m along the ROW. Further excavations are required for drainage, roads

and the additional piles required at stations and for all the buildings at the depot.

84. From geological investigations it is known that this spoil is either silts or sands. This type of

soil will be suitable for land raising for building projects and may have value as aggregates.

85. The total amount of spoil that will be removed for the project has been calculated by the design

team as 1,705,545m3. Table 4.3.2Table 4.3.2 shows the predicted amounts of spoil produced.

86. As above, the spoil will enter the market for spoil spreading in the local areas. This market for

spoil spreading will only become clear close to the time of the operation. Several areas have already

been identified as suitable for spoil spreading by the JICA Design Team. Since this has been confirmed

with land owners the capacity required is assured, however but the chosen contractors will make their

own choice based on the cost and benefits of what is available in the market at the time. Spoil may also

have a use in backfilling borrow pits used to raise levels at the depot or other quarry sites.


Page 22

Solid Waste

87. Solid wastes generated by the contractor during the course of work will be;

• Domestic/ Commercial Waste: Waste from Accommodation blocks, offices

• Waste Concrete: Waste from concrete pours

• Timber: Occasional Formwork, temporary structures.

88. Domestic and Commercial waste includes all the office waste and waste from accommodation

blocks. This waste is suitable for collection by the local solid waste disposal services. In order to

integrate with Local Solid Waste Management Plans of the LGU in which the Contractor is operating

the waste might be segregated by the Contractor into the waste streams of (1) compostable, (2)

recyclable and (3) residual and (4) Special Wastes. However, as most LGUs have opted to separate

waste at the MRF sites this may not be necessary. All hazardous and toxic waste however must be

separated as outlined below in Section 4.3.6.

89. Complete waste disposal to controlled dumpsites or sanitary landfills is not fully functional in

Metro Manila and illegal open dumping is still carried out. For this project the contractor must ensure

that its waste disposal arrangements meet the requirements of the RA 9003 and the Waste Management

Plan of the LGU in which they operate.

90. Senate Document AG-17-01 “Philippine Solid Waste at a glance”4 states that National Capital

Region generates 0.768kg of municipal waste per person per day. This is predicted to rise to 0.9kg per

day by 2025 using World Bank data (contained in WB What a Waste 2.0)5. Figures given for an

international level, show the largest waste category is food and green waste, making up 44 percent of

global waste. Dry recyclables (plastic, paper and cardboard, metal, and glass) amount to another 38

percent of waste. Eighty-two percent of waste is therefore potentially recyclable. Using the estimated

figure for 2025 an estimate of the worker waste production was made and summarized in Table 4.3.3.

Manpower requirements represents the peak maximum workers on site only and assumes worker

consumption is 1/3 of the metro manila per capita per day amount.

91. It is expected that the Contractor will arrange a contract with the local service providers and

transport the waste to pick up points adjacent to roads or with easy internal road access. The contractor

may also choose to enter into separate agreements with recyclers for plastic or paper if quantities are

high enough.

92. The contractor will be recommended to use the local junk shop system to dispose of surplus

or broken furniture, tool and equipment thus diverting items from landfill and taking advantage of repair

and re-use possibilities and boosting the local economy. A list of ‘Junk’ Shops (Recycling Service Providers) is given can be obtained from the Federation of Junk Shop Owners in the Philippines

93. The contractor will detail the arrangements made in the WMP in order for the plan to be

audited.

94. During concrete pours and in the pre-fabrication yard there may be waste concrete. A number

of options are possible for this surplus concrete:

• Return waste to batching plant, for reuse in lower quality concrete or other use or crushed for

aggregate;

• Use on site for hard standing areas, additional roads;

• Pour and recycle as aggregate when set, then crushed on or off site; or

• Pour and send to land fill when set.

95. The Contractor will outline in its WMP the options it will use for disposing of waste concrete.

96. Most casting formwork is expected to special purpose metal forms as this is the most economic

method. Timber formwork may be needed on occasion and timber may be used in many temporary

constructions, scaffolding work etc. Timber in formwork has a limited life and is disposed of after 2-3

uses. Timber can be usefully reused and recycled or used as fuel and may find a use via the local junk

shop system. The contractor is expected to separate timber from other waste and attempt to find non-

landfill uses.

Liquid Waste

97. The main liquid wastes generated during construction and operation will be:

• Sewage: From portable toilets and septic tanks;

• Grey water: From washing cleaning water used in offices and accommodation;

• Pile slurry liquid: Drilling Slurry is made up of polymers or special clays depending on

technology used by contractor; and

• Concrete washout liquids: From cleaning of concrete batch plant and transporter trucks and other

equipment.

98. Sewage removal in portable chemical toilets will be sub-contracted to portable toilet suppliers

and disposed through their existing sewage companies. If the contractor elects to use toilets running

water flush systems these will either be connected to septic tanks and emptied by a similar waste disposal

company that pumps out the tank and takes to a sewage treatment plant or treated on site in a portable

Waste Water Treatment Plant (WTP). To ensure the waste is disposed of correctly the companies

concerned will be required to provide evidence of correct disposal. If using an WTP a discharge permit

will be required from EMB and a monitoring plan developed.

99. All septic tanks shall be designed with three (3) chamber type to ensure that there is no risk to

groundwater from overflow between emptying schedules

100. Grey water from office and accommodation washing facilities will also be directed to tanks or

to WTP. In the case of the tanks, the water will be extracted and taken to a municipal treatment works.

If the case of an ABT the final discharge will be suitable for discharge to the local waterways/ drainage.

If using an WTP a discharge permit will be required from EMB and a monitoring plan developed.

101. Piling is carried out with a liquid slurry system. The slurry is either mixed with bentonite clay

or special polymers to stabilize the sides of the borehole. Before the slurry is disposed of the material

must be de-watered. The water from this process may require further treatment before disposal to the


Page 24

sewer or local watercourses due to pH or contaminants. The contractor may test and neutralize the water

before discharge.

102. A method of disposal of pile slurry liquid will be proposed by the contractor in their WMP.

This will normally involve a settling area to separate the liquid from the spoil, treatment of liquid before

discharge to local drainage systems. All leaching area, evaporation ponds etc. will be designed to contain

the waste material fully for later extraction and disposal.

103. Concrete delivery trucks, pumping pipes and casting machines require regular wash outs to

prevent waste concrete hardening in place. Washout water is usually high in pH (Alkaline). DAO-2016-

08 requires discharge water to be less than 8.5-9.0 pH (depending on watercourse class) The treatment

and disposal of wastewater from washing out of concrete lorries and batching plants will be proposed

by the contractor in their WMP and will likely involve a settling area with evaporation ponds before

disposal of the remaining cement cake to a landfill site or acid neutralization of the liquid waste.

104. Any water discharged to the local drainage system has to meet the requirements of DAO 2016-

08, a discharge permit with an agreed monitoring plan is required from EMB and monitoring results

must be submitted quarterly. Additional sampling and auditing will be carried out by the Engineer as

required.

Hazardous Waste

105. Some hazardous waste is expected to be produced during the construction phase mainly

hazardous chemical containers, lightbulbs, batteries etc. The contractor must segregate the materials and

arrange disposal at a Hazardous Waste Disposal Site.

106. To ensure the Hazardous Waste is disposed of according to the laws and regulation outlined

in Section 3.2.5 above the contractor shall implement a waste separation process on site and a hazardous

waste manifest system as explain below in Section 5.

Electrical and Mechanical Installation (E&M)

107. The installation of tracks, signaling and overhead catenary is not expected to generate

significant amounts of waste. Metal wastes and some electrical wastes are expected.

Summary of Construction Phase Solid Waste Streams

108. Table 4.3.4Table 4.3.4 summarizes the waste streams for construction and proposes the

monitoring requirements. The various contractors will be required to produce waste management plans

4.4. OPERATION PHASE

Introduction

109. There are seven stations on the line from Malolos to CIA. Some stations have been designed

with space for shops and food service outlets on the ground and first floors. Solid waste streams within

the station have been designed for passenger operation only at the design stage and further waste plans

will need to be made once the operation plan for the stations is further developed. Stations contain public

and staff toilets and staff kitchens.

110. The rolling stock maintenance details are not known at this stage as the contract will be design

and build. However, estimates have been made based on Japanese Operators Guidelines6.

111. Operations maintenance takes place at the depot where there is a maintenance Workshop

(including wheel grinding workshop), Light Repair Shop (LRS), train washing facilities, offices and

6 https://www.mlit.go.jp/english/2006/h_railway_bureau/Laws_concerning/14.pdf


Page 26

Operational Control Center (OCC). There is also a Training Institute with capacity for approximately

208 people. Overall up to 603 people may be on site in a day. All the Depot buildings will contain toilets,

washrooms and there will be a canteen and kitchen.

112. Track maintenance is another operation that will lead to waste being produced as fixings,

sleepers and ballast are maintained. Track maintenance splits into two types slab and ballast although

the greatest part of the track is slab.

113. The Contract and Specifications for operations has not been completed. As part of the

Operators Contract the Proponent will require a Waste Management Plan as part of the Environmental

Management Plan (EMP).

Solid Waste

114. Solid waste generation at the station and has been estimated based on the number of

passengers. Provision has been made for three bin recycling waste bins in the Station design and these

will allow all the waste to be picked up by the local commercial waste management company

115. Train preparation works involves light maintenance and trash collection and will take place at

the depot. This has been estimated based on half full trash boxes of 7kg each and 370 cars per day

(1,295kg). Light maintenance involves general housekeeping tasks like air conditioning, lights,

emptying waste bins and cleaning etc. and this has been estimated as 20kg per day using Japanese

Operation experience.

116. Scheduled maintenance takes place at the Workshop where train parts are disassembled and

serviced. Waste from these operations includes many oils and other materials that are contaminated with

oils, greases or hazardous waste and worn out parts. The wheel grinding operation produces steel waste

that has a ready market for recycling.

117. The offices, control center and training institute will generate commercial/ domestic type

waste. It is assumed this is one third of the figure stated in Senate Document AG-17-01 “Philippine Solid Waste at a glance”7 of 0.9kg per person per day in 2025 or 0.3kg.

118. It is expected that the Operator will enter into a contract for Solid Waste Removal with local

Solid Waste transport operators.

Liquid Waste

119. Liquid waste water and sewage at the stations will be treated by a Water Treatment System

installed at each station. This will be discharged to the local drainage system as no reliable local sewage

system is available. The water discharged to the local drainage system will meet the requirements of

DAO 2016-08 and monitoring will be agreed with EMB.

120. There are no toilets on the trains.

121. The Mabalacat depot is located near an existing sewage treatment works and thus all waste

water can be connected to the municipal sewage system for treatment. Estimates were made for sanitary

waste water based on The Philippines Institute of Development Studies paper “Determination of Basic Household Water Requirements”8. This paper identified 60.5 liters per capita per day.

7 https://www.senate.gov.ph/publications/SEPO/AAG_Philippine%20Solid%20Wastes_Nov2017.pdf 8 https://dirp4.pids.gov.ph/ris/dps/pidsdps9902.pdf


Page 27

Hazardous Waste

122. Various waste oils, cleaning solvents and oil contaminated cleaning material and protective

clothing are produced on a daily basis in the maintenance operations.

123. Various oil traps are included in the car park and train washing facilities to separate oil from

waste water before discharge to the municipal drainage system. These waste oils and grease must be

collected and treated as hazardous waste.

124. The operator will register with DENR as a hazardous waste generator as outlined and in DAO-

2013-22. Hazardous waste will be segregated labeled and stored as outlined in DAO-2013-22 and sent

for disposal at an accredited treatment, storage or disposal facility. The Operator will use the waste

manifest system as described in Chapter 6 of the above Administrative Order.

125. There are a number of secondary uses for waste oils and solvents such as for Alternative Fuels

(typically in cement factories or for refining into fuel oils). EMB publishes a list of accredited TSD

facilities for hazardous wastes9. The Operator should explore the options for reuse of the oil based waste.

Summary

126. Table 4.4.1Table 4.4.1 below summarizes the predicted waste stream generated during

operations. As many aspects of the operations are yet to be finalized the Operator will submit a Waste

Management Plan to the proponent and EMB for approval before commencing operations.
