10-YEAR ECOLOGICAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN

CHAPTER 1
Introduction

1.1 PURPOSE

Being blessed with numerous scenic spots and beautiful beaches and home
to the Cagayan Economic Zone Authority (CEZA), Sta. Ana is one of the most visited
municipality in the country by both local and foreign tourists.

Fast paced urbanization, growing population and influx of tourist have greatly
contributed to the increasing generation of solid wastes. The growing tourism
industry and importation of pollutants and other hazardous substances had been a
critical issue faced by the municipality. Moreover, the lack of solid waste
management systems particularly in the households and barangays has long been
an issue that needs to be addressed.

Given the LGU’s primary role to enforce and implement the provisions of RA
9003 otherwise known as the “Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000”, the
municipality envisions for a more responsive functional system of waste reduction,
reuse, recycling, and disposal. Moreover, strong political will and support of the
people by making proper solid waste management as an integral part of their lives
are one best formula in the attainment of the municipality’s goal.

One important step to address these issues is the Formulation of the


Municipality’s 10- year Ecological Solid Waste Management Plan. The 10-Year
Ecological Solid Waste Management Plan is envisioned to promote ESWM by
developing and strengthening the capabilities and awareness of the society in
managing waste and disposal; institutionalizing peoples’ participation in the
implementation of ESWM program for a progressive self-reliant, peaceful and
ecologically balanced community. The plan shall serve as the LGUs blueprint to
properly and effectively implement the Municipality’s vision towards proper solid
waste management. Guided by the programs, studies and strategies embedded in
the Plan, it is an avenue to fully comply with the provisions of RA 9003 by making
SWM a way of life for every resident in the locality.

Republic Act 9003 points out and focuses proper management and disposal
of wastes. It also advocates the principle that the best ESWM program is the
reduction and minimization of solid wastes. The law also emphasizes recycling of
solid wastes in support to livelihood programs of the LGU, thus, providing additional
income to the community.

The officialdom of Santa Ana, Cagayan, Cagayan headed by Mayor Nelson P.


Robinion has taken the initiative to promptly manage the solid wastes generated by
the locality ensure its compliance to Republic Act 9003.The LGU’s ESWM program
will involve the participation of various stakeholders in the community and shall
institutionalize strong partnership between the Municipal and Barangay
governments.

1.2 APPROACH

Initially, the municipal government through an Executive Order has created


its Solid Waste Management Board whose task is to formulate the 10 year ESWM
Plan. The board is being assisted by a Technical Working Group (TWG) composed of
MPDC, Municipal Engineer, and MLGOO. The TWG is chaired by the MENRO. The
functions of the TWG in general is to serve as secretariat of the board and draft the
ESWM plan.

In the plan formulation process, the following activities were undertaken:

 Familiarization with RA 9003 and other related environmental laws;


 Undertaken training/seminar-workshop with regard to formulation
of Solid Waste Management Plan;
 Conducted Eco-Profiling and Waste Analysis and Characterization
Study (WACS);
 Conducted Situational Analysis Workshop;
 Reformulation of the LGU’s Vision, Mission and Goals;
 Conducted of Options Analysis Workshop to identify Development
Strategies;
 Conducted of Financial Planning Workshop

10-YEAR ECOLOGICAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN

 Conducted series of write shops to formulate the plan.


 Consultative dialogue and meetings were also conducted to thresh
out problems that may arise during the drafting and finalization of
the plan.

The draft plan was presented to the MSWMB in a technical conference to


solicit inputs and recommendations which are essential in the enhancement of the
plan.

Different stakeholders have contributed relevant data in the formulation and


completion of the plan as indicated in the table below:

LGU Profile

2.1 GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION

The Municipality of Santa Ana, a second-class municipality is situated in the


northeastern part of Cagayan Valley and can be located at point 18º 27' 33" N
latitude and 122º 08' 29" longitude. It is bounded by the Pacific Ocean on the east,
Babuyan Channel on the north, China Sea on the west and the Municipality of
Gonzaga on the south.

The place has a total land area of 44,130 hectares representing about 4.9
percent of the total land area of the Province of Cagayan. It owns a shoreline distance
of 97.709 kilometers, 1,234.49 square kilometers of municipal waters, 4,490.0
square kilometers agricultural area, 28,532 hectares of forest including mangrove
with an area of 512.23 hectares open grassland, and 452 hectares built-up area
where residential, public and private institutions and facilities are erected. Road
networks and utilities measures 131.64 hectares and 2,931.36 hectares of rivers and
creeks.

The Municipality of Santa Ana is dubbed as the “Game Fishing Mecca of the
Philippines” and “Paradise of the Northeast”. It is located 70 kms. East of Aparri via
the first class Aparri-Sta. Ana corridor highway; 150 kms.North of Tuguegarao City;
the capital city of Cagayan Valley; and 632 kilometers north of Manila. The town can
be easily reached by a 45-minute plane flight from Manila via Tuguegarao Airport
and from there, it takes a 3-hour trip by road to Santa Ana via Dugo-San Vicente
National Highway.

It has a single stretch of main coastal highway covering some 17 kilometers


from Brgy. Casambalangan at the southern end to Brgy. San Vicente at the
northern end interspersed with some 14 bridges over brackish coastal waters hosting
well- preserved and vast mangrove forest. It has fairly vast low lying rice lands along
the western seacoast extending to the undulating croplands and foothills of Sierra
Madre Mountains towards the interior.

Port Irene is located in Sta. Ana which is becoming a major point for regional
transshipment operations. Port Irene is only a 45-minute flight from Kaohsiung, the
prime industrial and shipping center of Taiwan. Likewise, Santa Ana is also a 45-
minute air flight distance from the City of Manila. There is no wonder that most
locators of CEZA come from Taiwan and some from the Mainland China.

2.2 HISTORY

The place now called the Municipality of Santa Ana was formerly called
Palawig. Its first inhabitants were the Negritoes and “Hacheros” (meaning
woodcutters) under the Don Julian Astigarraga, a concessionaire from Aparri.
In 1917, a group of Ilocanos came to San Vicente to survey agricultural lands.
Seeing that the place is suitable for farming, they filed homestead applications but
were disapproved.

When Gonzaga, the mother town, was created in 1918, Pedro Agarpao and
son Felipe with some other fishermen from Minanga (still a barangay of Gonzaga
today) settled at the river banks of Palawig (from the negrito word “pasawig,” meaning
“mouth of the river”). From thence, Palawig became the popular name of the place.

In 1919, Felipe Agarpao with some settlers organized a “gimong” (meaning


association) called “Inanama.” The purpose of this organization was to acquire and
occupy lands around the place. That some Briccio Camapañero of Lapog, Ilocos Sur
together with some others from Ilocos, came to Palawig to apply for homesteads in

10- Year Ecological Solid Waste Management Plan (2019-2028) 7


Municipality of Santa Ana, Cagayan
10-YEAR ECOLOGICAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN

the sitio of Marede. Through the leadership of Federico Navarro, six homesteads were
approved for the settlers of Marede. These settlers organized another “gimong” called
“Dagupan.” The same was so called because the members came from different places.

In 1935, the groups “Inanama” and “Dagupan” fused into one called “Da
Inanama.” The members thought it wise to work for the separation of Palawig from
its surrounding barrios and become a municipality independent from Gonzaga.
Application and other necessary papers were submitted to the municipal Council of
Gonzaga, which in turn endorsed them to the department of Interior. The committee
receive an answer stating that the application for a new municipality was held in
abeyance because the population of 3,000 did not met the needed of 5,000 as
required by law. During that time, settlers hiked to Sta. Ana or they came by boats
because the national road was not yet passable. It was one of causes of the slow
increase of population.

A national road from Dugo, Camalaniugan to San Vicente (DSVR) was


constructed and later it was opened two years before the war in 1941. However, the
move to make Palawig as a municipality was not carried out because of World War
II.

In 1946, when Navarro was appointed Mayor of Gonzaga, he resumed his


project to work for the separation of Palawig from Gonzaga. As member of the
provincial board in 1947, he continued to work on the same, aided by the members
of the provincial board.

The fruit of the labor came only in 1949. The municipality was created by
virtue of Executive Order No. 289 signed by the President Elpidio Quirino on October
21, 1949. Palawig and other barrios were separated from the municipality of Gonzaga
effective January 1, 1950 and at the same time it was then called Santa Ana.

Ana was not named after a saint who triumphed over a sin. It emerged from
the figment of the minds of three great men whose family names begin with letters
which spell the word ANA of former Governor Arranz and Board Members Navarro
and Avena, who were the incumbent provincial officials during the birth of Santa
Ana.

10-YEAR ECOLOGICAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN

Due to the conflict of boundary between Gonzaga and new Santa Ana, it was
only March 6, 1950 when the new municipality was inaugurated. The first
appointment Mayor was Venerando Udarbe, Sr. and Elpidio A. Tobias, Sr., Vice
Mayor. The first appointed councilors were Sulpicio Leaño, Jose Manzano, Rosendo
Medrano, and Toribio Peneyra.

The first town hall was located in the heart of Palawig, at the house of former
councilor Pantaleon Recolizado. It was only in early 1956 when the construction of
the present town hall at the new site was started through the initiative of the
appointed Municipal Officials. On June 1, 1957 the municipal government was
transferred to its present home, serving as the administrative seat of its sixteen (16)
barangays.

2.3 POPULATION

As shown in the table found in the next page, the population in the LGU will
post an annual increase in the next ten years with population in the rural areas
posting greater increase than the urban areas. This implies generation of more solid
wastes in the rural areas than in the urban barangays. Table 2.2 shows the
population projection.

Urbanization or the growth in the proportion of people living in urban areas


is said to take place when there is development. When there are economic
opportunities in the area, in-migration occurs, thus, resulting in the increasing
density of population.

The level of urbanization of Santa Ana, Cagayan is relatively low. About 34%
of its total population in year 2004 was found in the urban areas composed of three
barangays. The rest of the municipality’s population resides in the rural barangays.

In most municipalities all over the country, the urban barangays, which
comprise the Poblacion, are usually the major settlement areas. In the case of the
municipality of Santa Ana, Cagayan, aside from barangay Centro, there are also
other major settlement areas located outside the Poblacion namely: Casambalangan
and San Vicente.

For commercial and business establishments, the retail business posts the
greatest number as the operation of sari-sari stores have been increasing annually
particularly in rural areas. While wholesale business and other service providers are
mostly found in the urban barangays. At present, there are eight existing junkshops
operating in the area.

Functional Classification of Road Network

For purposes of prioritizing maintenance and development of road network,


the municipality’s circulatory system is categorized into two functional hierarchies:
arterial and service roads. The major arterial road of the municipality is the National
Highway. Aside from linking the barangays, it also serves as the main thoroughfare
connecting Santa Ana, Cagayan to Tuguegarao City, Santiago City and Manila.
Connector and service roads are those, which branch out from the arterial roads in
the area. Aside from serving as the main access of population, these roads are being
utilized as farm-to-market roads by the farmers.

Among the coastal barangays mentioned, Patunungan has the largest land
area covering 10,600 hectares while San Vicente has the longest and has two
coastlines, the coastline surrounding Palaui Island of San Vicente within the
mainland Luzon.

B. Topography and Elevation

The general topographic characteristic of the municipality of Sta. Ana ranges


from level to nearly level and rolling to steeply sloping due to the presence of the
Sierra Madre mountain range found along the eastern portion of the municipality.
The highest elevation of the profile area ranges from 5 to 1,000 meters above sea
level. A considerable portion is flat as exhibited by the shores areas and the flood
plains. It is in these areas that agricultural production is greatest.

1. Slope

Seventy-five percent of the total land area of the municipality has greater than
18% slope and the rest of the area ranges from 0% - 18%. This implies that about
one-fourth (11,032 has.) of the total land area of the municipality can be utilized for
intensive agricultural and urban development. ( See table 2.7)

2. Flood-prone areas

The flood-prone area of Sta. Ana is barangay Parada - Batu which is located
on the lower stream of Palawig River. About 50 hectares of these flood- prone areas
are being utilized as production site for rice, corn, watermelon and vegetable. For
this reason, the establishment of settlements in this area is not recommended or
should be restrained. (Figure 2.2)

Erosion- prone areas of Sta. Ana are those within denuded areas. These are
mostly located along the upper streams of Palawig and Casambalangan Rivers.
Slopes that are greater than 50% are also susceptible to erosion. (See figure 2.4)

C. Hydrology

1. Surface and Ground Water


The drainage map shows that several rivers, brooks and creeks traverse the
area, providing abundant supply of water for domestic use and irrigation purposes.
There are five major river in systems that pass through the town of Sta. Ana, namely:
1) Casambalangan River, 2) Palawig River, 3) Tangatan River, 4) Diora- Zinungan River
and 5) Apulagan River. Apulagan River lies on the southern part of barangay
Patunungan draining down to the Philippine Sea. (Figure 2.5)
The ground water resource of Sta. Ana is being tapped for human
consumption. While the abundant surface is being utilized through diversion dams
and small water impounding for agricultural purposes

Marine and Coastal Water


The Sta. Ana area lies along two (2) major bodies of water namely: The
Philippine sea and the Babuyan Channel where Kuroshio current (Black current)
traverses towards north up to Taiwan and Japan. Said current supplies or modify
the environment bringing nutrient rich from the equatorial zone. The water
surrounding the area serves as one of the most valuable fishing grounds in the
region. In addition, local and foreign anglers of the Philippine Game Fishing
Federation (PGFF) conduct annual fishing tournaments in the area. Its shoreline has
a length of 97.709 km. starting from Matara Point of Barangay Casambalangan along
the Babuyan Channel up to Maloncon Island of Barangay Patunungan in the
Philippine Sea side. On the northeastern part of the municipality covers a large tract
of coral reefs (930 Ha.) with long stretch of white beaches (203Ha.) on its shoreline.
Seagrass beds supporting the aquatic environment have an approximate area of
(359.50Ha.) Beach Mangrove (512.25 Ha.) and Seaweeds (2.40Ha.
Having good to excellent coral reefs, it is an ideal breeding ground for various
species of marine life like snappers, groupers, sea basses among others. The reef in
Palaui Island is also an ideal for snorkeling, a highly potential area of eco-tourism
destination that would generate income for the municipality.
Furthermore, the marine area of the municipality is a migratory route of
skipjack tunas and other tuna species (NSAP 2004). Due to its water richness, the
10- Year Ecological Solid Waste Management Plan (2019-2028) 22

10-YEAR ECOLOGICAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN

municipality of Sta. Ana is a favorite for the Annual Philippine Game Fishing
Tournament attended by local and international anglers from April to June.

D. Soil Type and Characteristics


Based on the survey of Sta. Ana revealed by the Bureau of Soil and Water
Management (BSWM), there are eight soil textures that can be found in the area.
These are Hydrosol, San Manuelsilt loam, Alaminous loam, Beach sand, Alaminous
clay loam, Buguey loamy sand, Quingua silt loam and undifferentiated mountain soil.

The Characteristic of the Different Soil Textures are as follows:


• Hydrosol- is alluvial deposit along seacoast especially along mouth of rivers.
Only certain types of vegetation grow in the area. Generally, it is covered by
mangrove trees.
• San Manuel Silt Loam- is recent alluvial deposits of mixed mineralogy. They
are found on weakly acetified alluvium on flood plain areas of medium
terraces subject to seasonal river flooding. The soil is moderately deep, level
to nearly level and well drained fine loamy soils. Cultivated areas are mainly
utilized for diversified crops while uncultivated portions are vegetated with
talahib used for grazing animals.
• Beach Sand- is strictly not considered soil as the sand is constantly being
stirred and distributed by the sea tides or current and therefore, profile
development can take place. This miscellaneous land type consists of very
loose particles and only certain types of plants grow on it.
• Alaminous Loam- soils of the alaminous loam are the residual soils derived
from the weathering of basalts and andesites. The relief is rolling hilly with
some primary and secondary forests while the rolling and level areas under
the parang type of vegetation.
• Alaminous Clay Loam- the surface soil is light brown to reddish brown clay
loam, loose and friable, slightly sticky when wet, crumble easily upon drying,
granular in structure high organic matter content, as coarse skeleton.
Lowland rice is planted on small level areas. The rice variety commonly

planted is white flint. Coffee, cacao and coconut are grown on the cultivated
rolling areas.

Municipality of Santa Ana, Cagayan
10-YEAR ECOLOGICAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN

• Mountain Soils (undifferentiated)- this miscellaneous land type consist of


steep stones and in general, the mountains have high elevations. These
mountains are mainly of volcanic origin and consist of basaltic diuretic rocks
with gabbros and peridotites and other coarse grained basic rocks.
• Quingua Silt Loam- usually found on river banks and suited for upland
farming.
• Buguey Loamy Sand- This belongs to soil group, Buguey Series which is
formed from recent coastal deposits. The relief is nearly level to slightly
undulating, moderately deep and moderately well-drained fine loamy soils.
These are adapted to cultivation of corn, cassava of corn, cassava and camote.

averaging about 12 typhoons per year. Occurrence of such is usually between the
months of May and November. The occurrence of flood is also within these typhoon
months. Drought is usually experienced during the dry months of April, May and
June.

G. Present Land Use

For Santa Ana has approximately 17% or 7,502 hectares of its land area is being
utilized as cultivation and alienable and disposable (A&D) area. The data presented
above shows that the areas covered are predominantly classified as forestlands and
a significant portion (27.37%) is considered as protected areas. This includes Palaui
Island with 2,439 hectares, Santa Ana with 10,971 hectares of old growth forest
including 598 hectares of mossy forest and 220 hectares of mangrove forest. The
total protected area that Santa Ana covers is estimated at 14,632.31 hectares
including the 568 hectares of the Integrated Social Forestry Program of the
Department of Environment and Natural Resources.

H. Physical Constraints

The major physical constraints for the full development includes the following:
(1) 12,130 hectares of old growth forest; (2) 512.25 hectares of mangroves; (3) 598
hectares of mossy forests; and (4) the entire island of Palaui which has been declared
as a marine reserve.

10- Year Ecological Solid Waste Management Plan (2019-2028) 28


Municipality of Santa Ana, Cagayan
10-YEAR ECOLOGICAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN

The other constraints that could affect the development of the area is the
presence of 11,511 hectares of the land having slopes greater than 50%. The
development of these areas will require special considerations and high investments.

The areas with severe erosion, although insignificant should also be taken into
account in the development.
The flatlands (areas with slope from 0% -3%) with an area estimated at 7,356
hectares are easily flooded during heavy downpours that occur in the Sta. Ana site.
Natural hazards are also present in area, which could affect the Sta. Ana. Two
dormant volcanoes (Mt. Didicas – a submarine volcano is located near the area,
which is approximately 55 kms. WNW of Sta. Ana.

3.3 SOURCE REDUCTION AND SEGREGATION AT SOURCE

Segregation at source was not yet fully practiced in the municipality. However,
biodegradable materials collected from waste generators were being processed and
converted into fertilizers which are distributed to farmers. There are some residential
households who undertake composting of bio-degradable waste through compost

10- Year Ecological Solid Waste Management Plan (2019-2028) 34


Municipality of Santa Ana, Cagayan
10-YEAR ECOLOGICAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN

pits located in their backyards. The municipality also ban the use of plastic bags
in public markets. Vendors are required to use paper bags in packing their products
as well as “bayongs” for buyers.
Recyclable materials are collected and sold to itinerant buyers and junkshops.

3.4 COLLECTION
At present, the collection of solid waste in the municipality is solely done by
the MLGU focused only on 8 highway barangays, public market and other public
places maintained by the LGU. National government offices and private institutions
practice their own method and schemes in collecting and disposing their generated
waste. Likewise, residential households do the same manner relative to collection
and disposal of their wastes.
The table below presents waste collection scheme in the municipality:

Eight (8) barangays of Santa Ana, Cagayan are not yet covered by the
Municipal Collection Team due to budgetary constraints and distance to national
highways. However, residential households practice traditional composting of
biodegradable wastes and segregate recyclable to be sold to itinerant buyers and
junkshops. Residuals wastes are buried within their backyard.

3.5 TRANSFER

Since the LGU practices the “collect and dump” method of disposing waste,
there are no transfer stations established.

3.6 PROCESSING FACILITIES

The processing of biodegradable waste into compost materials are


conventionally done in every household. The technology of composting is transferred
to farmers specially on the processing of agricultural waste into useful organic
fertilizers for the production of crops in their farmlands and residential gardens.

10- Year Ecological Solid Waste Management Plan (2019-2028) 36


Municipality of Santa Ana, Cagayan
10-YEAR ECOLOGICAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN

There are material recovery facilities to accommodate compostable materials at


present. Figure 3.1 shows the Material Recovery Facility(MRF).

Figure 3.1 Material Recover Facility(MRF)

3.7 FINAL DISPOSAL

As previously stated, the present service area of the disposal facility is focused
in the public market, eight (8) highway barangays and local government institutions.
However, it is also intended to cover all barangays of the municipality in the near
future. The municipality uses Residual Containment Area (RCA) as the Final
Disposal pending the completion of the proposed Sanitary Landfill. There are no
existing scavengers around the area because they are strictly prohibited from
entering the site.

3.8 SPECIAL WASTE

Special wastes are being disposed and stored in properly covered plastic
container. Special wastes on agricultural products are being managed by the
concerned user and strictly follow the instructional label for both usage and disposal.

3.8.1 Health Care Waste

There are three (3) main generators of health care waste in the municipality.
These are the infirmary hospital, private hospital and the main rural health unit.
However, the three (3) medical establishments of the municipal government have
their respective disposal and treatment facility for toxic and hazardous waste. This
is done through proper placement under separate containers which are stored safely
with dissolving agents to establish or normalize its hazardous effect before finally
transporting it to the disposal area.

Based on the survey and waste study of the municipality, 228.33 kilos per
day of toxic and hazardous wastes are being generated in the locality. These special
wastes consist both health care and domestic waste generated at source like

10-YEAR ECOLOGICAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN

syringes, vials, surgical items from the hospital and RHU, and batteries, bulbs,
medical and agricultural supply containers, and cosmetics spray from households.

3.9 MARKETS FOR RECYCLABLES

There are stationed junk shops in the municipality and there are number of
transient scrap vendors from nearby municipalities radiating in the locality to buy
valuable recyclable wastes like plastic, paper, tin, glasses, steel, aluminum and
empty bottles. The table below presents types and quantities of materials accepted
by these mobile junkshops.

For the re-manufacturing of recycled materials, there are no existing


industries in the locality that use or could make use of recycled materials. Processing
of these type of materials is done in most academic institutions as student projects
which is integrated in school curriculum. Members of the Rural Improvement Club
(RIC) also have activities and programs which promote and maximize the use of
recyclable materials.

3.10 INFORMATION AND EDUCATION CAMPAIGN

Periodic Information and Education Campaign through the conduct of public


forum, symposium on the different barangays, public and private schools, groups of
association and non-government organizations were undertaken to involve them as
active partners in the implementation of the different programs and activities of
SWM.

3.11 COST AND REVENUES

In pursuance with the provisions of the Local Government Code of 1991 (RA
No.7160), the LGU has regularly allocated in its Annual Budget for the last three (3)
years an amount necessary for the implementation of the different programs
concerning environmental concerns particularly on solid waste management.

The implementation of Solid waste management programs has been a priority


concern of the LGU. As provided in the table below, the LGU has consistently
allocated funds for SWM programs particularly on the establishment of SLF,
purchase of SWM equipment and environmental protection concerns.

The municipality has incurred revenues for the past years. Garbage collection
fees and related dues were collected by the LGU. SWM fees is being imposed starting
2015 as provided in the SWM Ordinance and upon implementation of the plan.

Funds allocated for SWM were used in the conduct of IEC particularly in the
reproduction of materials and advocacy campaigns to public places and barangays.
Funds were also used in the purchase of SWM equipment and facilities.
A comparison of annual budget and actual expenses for 3 years is shown below

3.12 KEY ISSUES

As a result of the workshop conducted during the planning exercises, the


following issues and concerns were noted for consideration and action of the present
administration:

1. Lack of manpower and technical capability in implementing ESWM


Programs;
2. Mixed-up collection of generated waste and unsorted wastes due to
lack of source segregation practices;
3. Non-practice or lack of programs intended for recyclable wastes;
4. Improper disposal of waste (littering);
5. Lack of awareness of the general populace on proper segregation;
6. Poor enforcement of environmental laws and issuances;
7. Absence of linkages and networking with external groups or entities;
and

CHAPTER 4

Waste Characteristics

The Municipal Ecological Solid Waste Management (ESWM) Profile was


prepared using data and information from the 4-day Waste Analysis and
Characterization Study (WACS) and a structured survey to respondents that were
identified using Slovin’s Formula. The 4-day WACS is a process of gathering ESWM
data for 4 consecutive days from the following waste sources: (1) Residential or
households; (2) Food establishment; (3) General stores; (4) Industries; (5) Recreation
centers; (6) Institution; (7) Public market; (8) Service centers; (9) Special waste
generators and; (10) Slaughter house. The WACS was conducted by the municipality
on November 9-12, 2018.
Statistical treatment and analysis of the data gathered during WACS was
undertaken to come up with the needed data and information for the plan.

4.1 DISPOSED WASTE

Disposed waste represents the quantity of waste which is thrown or disposed


by waste generators to the Municipal Collection Team. Most of the disposed waste of
the municipality are biodegradable waste which comprises 59.91% followed by
recyclable waste at 19.25%, residual waste at 13.02%, residual with potential at 5.58%,
special waste at 2.24%, the table below shows the quantity of waste disposed in
kilograms per day:

Public market and residential are the major generators of biodegradable


wastes. Clearly indicate that the LGU should focus on the strategies how to reduce
waste generation and increase its waste diversion.

4.2 DIVERTED WASTE

Diverted waste is the quantity of waste currently re-used, recycled, sold to


junkshops and composted or processed based on existing information. To gather
data on the estimated quantity or volume of waste currently diverted, survey
questionnaires were floated to various respondents from all waste sources. The table
below presents the result of the survey:

Result of the survey shows that the most common waste diversion strategy is
backyard composting. Quantity of wastes being composted, however, was not
accurately estimated by the respondents. Hence, they were no longer included in
the results. Recyclable materials pegged at 633.03 kilograms included bottles,
plastic containers, tin cans and other materials sold to junkshops and itinerant
buyers.

4.3 GENERATED WASTE

Generated waste is defined as the total quantity or volume of waste disposed


+ (diverted) based on the WACS results and tabulated survey questionnaire results.
The table below gives a detailed presentation on the waste generated in the
municipality:

focus on the processing of biodegradable wastes. The 19.25% recyclable waste
generated shall be the basis in coming up with the design for the volume capacity of
the Materials Recovery Facilities (MRFs) to be constructed while the quantity of
residual wastes (18.59%) shall be the basis in coming up with the appropriate
facilities to be established in the LGU.

4.4 PROJECTED WASTE GENERATION

The projected waste generation in the entire municipality is computed by


multiplying the generated waste to the projected population. The table below
presents the projected waste generation from 2019 to 2028 in tons per year.

The above table shows the cumulative volume of wastes generated for ten (10)
years. This is the basis of coming up with appropriate strategies to be implemented
by the municipal government in its solid waste management program. The volume
of biodegradable wastes (67,151.7 kg/year) shows the potential source of organic
fertilizer which likewise creates employment opportunities for the residents. The
volume of residual wastes (20,840.8 kg/d) on the other hand, shall be the basis in
computing the volume capacity of the SLF cells and the lifespan on the disposal
facility. The volume of special wastes (2,512.9) will be the basis in coming up with
the dimensions of the septic vault for toxic and hazardous wastes (THWs). These will
all be the basis for decision makers on the alternative technologies to be procured
that will lead to ZERO WASTE MANAGEMENT.

6.3 STRATEGIES

Waste Reduction

6.3.1Waste Segregation and reduction at source

Doable and practical programs to advocate waste avoidance and waste


reduction at source like use of organic materials for packaging shall be implemented
by the LGUs at all levels.
Waste Segregation into four (4) classifications: biodegradable, recyclable,
residual and special shall be implemented in all barangays by phase starting in
urban and coastal barangays and in areas where tourism and economic activities
are situated.

6.3.2 Storage, Collection and Transport


Rural barangays shall manage re-usable, recyclable, and compostable
materials generated in their areas of jurisdiction. To implement this strategy, the
barangay government shall have the option to mandate all waste generators to
manage their own biodegradable and recyclable wastes or to establish a mechanism
to collect these wastes for centralized composting of biodegradable and sale of factory

incentives program shall also be implemented by the local government unit (LGU).

These waste reduction strategies shall contribute in attaining the projected


waste diversion averaging to 2,737.73 tons per annum.

7.2 COLLECTION

7.2.1 Overview

Rural barangays shall manage re-usable, recyclable, and compostable


materials generated in their areas of jurisdiction. To implement this strategy, the
barangay government shall have the option to mandate all waste generators to
manage their own biodegradable and recyclable wastes or to establish a mechanism
to collect these wastes for centralized composting of biodegradable and sale of factory
returnable. The municipal government on the other hand, shall collect residual and
special wastes from designated pick-up points and transport them to the Central
MRF or disposal facility.

In urban barangays and in areas where tourism and economic activities are
situated, the Municipal Government shall take charge in the management of all types
of wastes. Pick-up points and schedule for storage and set-out shall be established
to ensure the smooth and systematic collection of solid waste. Only segregated waste
shall be collected and shall only be on the date and time designated for collection.
Unauthorized establishment of dumping areas shall be prohibited and considered as
illegal to be dealt with in accordance with law. Corresponding garbage fees shall,
however, be collected to subsidize costs for collection.

7.3.3. Composting/Management of Biodegradable Waste

Backyard composting practiced in rural barangays and the agricultural waste


processing undertaken by the Farmer’s Organization (SAGIBU) and the Basura Ko
Kabuhayan Ko Program (BK3), shall be complemented by vermi-composting at the
municipal MRF that will serve as central processing for biodegradable waste coming
from the municipal/government institutions. Composting technology to be
introduced will be a combination of mechanical composting, static composting, and
other methods (using composting bio-reactor). Record on the quantities of
biodegradable wastes composted will be maintained to keep track of the waste
diversion targets of the LGU. The municipality will establish mechanisms to ensure
proper handling and managing of compostable wastes.

Overall, the municipality will support the barangays in their composting


activities. The municipal composter which will be established in 2020 will serve as

model facility for the barangays to replicate. It will also be a laboratory for
capacitation. The municipal government will provide technical assistance to the
barangays by conducting hands-on training and other capability-building activities
through its technical staff from the Municipal Agriculturist Officer (MAO).

Figure 7.7. Composting Methods and Technologies

Methods of determining categories of biodegradable waste for diversion

For Composting:
Waste diversion through composting of biodegradable waste will be undertaken with the
following:

10- Year Ecological Solid Waste Management Plan (2019-2028) 68

10-YEAR ECOLOGICAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN

 Pilot Projects in the different barangays (Vermi composting).


 Testing of results on the nutrient contents of the products.
 Feasibility study on the economic and financial viability of the program.

7.3.4 Marketing and Market Development

Farmers will be encouraged to utilize soil ameliorants for farming and


backyard gardening. This will reduce dependence to commercial fertilizer which is
costly and non-environment friendly. To fully implement this strategy, assistance to
farmers will be given in the form of organic fertilizers. Incentives shall be given to
farmers that practice organic or natural farming. The municipal LGU will also tap
the assistance of DTI for the expansion of its market base and DOST for the
implementation of appropriate product verification protocols.

A memorandum of agreement (MOA) between the LGU and junkshop owners


shall be forged to sustain market development and management. A monitoring
scheme will be established to determine the volume of waste brought to junkshops
and maintain a database needed for plan review and decision making.
Effective marketing of recyclable materials is part of revenue generation strategy.
Competitive prices shall be observed. Prices of some waste materials changes normally, storing
the recovered recyclable in the facility for several weeks can result to better selling price in the
market for greater profit. The Municipal MRF will collect factory returnable like glass/bottles,
paper/cartons, plastic, metals and other materials that may have market value. Table below
shows the estimated buying prices for recyclable materials.

7.4 TRANSFER

The Material Recovery Facility (MRF) will serve as transfer facility for residual
and special waste a day before municipal collection. The municipal government will
provide technical capability trainings for the operation and management of MRF,
records keeping and financial management to all concerned stakeholders. The
capacity of the barangay MRF will be designed to accommodate the future demand
of residual and special waste that are temporarily stored in a monthly basis.

The municipal MRF will also function as center for learning where barangays
could get experiential learning in the operation and management of the facility.

7.5 ALTERNATIVE TECHNOLOGY FOR RESIDUAL WASTE

Adoption of an alternative technology for residual wastes shall be


implemented starting 2019 to prolong the life of the Sanitary Landfill Facility.

To be able to implement an alternative technology that shall be able to


produce marketable products like decorative pavement blocks and other non-load
bearing concrete products or pots and other products made out of plastics, the
Municipality had already procured equipment’s such as Plastic Shredder, Plastic
Densifier, Glass Crasher and Hollow Block Maker which will fully operational this
year 2019. We shall coordinate with the DOST for technical assistance on the
procedure of such. Intensive research on the feasibility of the project and the
environmental implications of these activities shall be undertaken by the SWB and
TWG. Individuals, organizations and institutions who are interested to engage in
residual waste processing shall be supported and assisted by the municipal
government.

A Category 1 Sanitary Landfill (SLF) shall be established as the final disposal


facility for solid wastes. Facilities, amenities and structures to be constructed shall
be in accordance with the Guidelines set by the NSWMC and other concerned
agencies.

10- Year Ecological Solid Waste Management Plan (2019-2028) 71


Municipality of Santa Ana, Cagayan
10-YEAR ECOLOGICAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN

After establishing the SLF, the Residual Containment Area (RCA) shall no
longer be utilized and shall be rehabilitated in accordance with existing standards
and policies issued by the Environmental Management Bureau.

7.6.1 Solid Waste Disposal Capacity

The table below presents the breakdown of residual and special wastes to be
disposed in tons per annum:

Year Residual Special Total


2019 702.34 84.68 787.02
2020 713.65 86.05 799.70
2021 725.12 87.43 812.55
2022 736.82 88.84 825.66
2023 748.67 90.27 838.94
2024 760.72 91.72 852.45
2025 772.98 93.20 866.18
2026 785.41 94.70 880.11
2027 798.07 96.23 894.29
2028 863.12 104.07 967.19
Cumulative Total 7,606.90 917.20 8524.10
Average 760.69 91.72 852.41

Given the standard that 623 kilograms is equal 1 cubic meter of wastes, as
provided in the “Guidelines in the Establishment of Categorized Disposal Facilities”
published by the National Solid Waste Management Commission (NSWMC), the
cumulative volume of residual wastes in ten years time is 15,980 cubic meters.

Using the data from the above table, the target life span of the SLF was
computed using the formula:

DLC = {ADLV + CMV} x TLS

Where:

DLC = Designed Landfill Capacity


ADLV = Annual Designed Landfill Volume ( in cubic meters)
CMV = Cover Material Volume, in cubic meters

The target life span of one (1) cell with a dimension of (50m x 25m x 5m) or a
volume capacity of 6,250 cubic meters is equal to 11years. To be able to

10- Year Ecological Solid Waste Management Plan (2019-2028) 72


Municipality of Santa Ana, Cagayan
10-YEAR ECOLOGICAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN

accommodate the total cumulative volume of approximately 16,000 cubic meters


residual waste, the LGU shall construct the second cell on 2029.

The implementation of Alternative technology of Basura Ko Kabuhayan Ko will


divert approximately 6,000 cubic meters residual wastes in the entire planning
period or an average of 500 cubic meters per annum. This will not only prolong the
lifespan of the SLF but will also introduce new sources of livelihood to the residents
in the municipality.

7.6.2 Existing Facilities

While construction of the SLF cell is ongoing, a portion of MRF is utilized as


a residual containment area (RCA). To ensure proper waste management, only
residual wastes are temporarily stored in the area and final sorting is being
undertaken prior to disposal. Copy of approved SCRP is provided in Annex .
All residual wastes temporarily stored at RCA shall be transferred in the SLF
cell, after construction and its full operation.

Municipality of Santa Ana, Cagayan
10-YEAR ECOLOGICAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN

7.6.3 New Facilities

The new facility is a category 1 Sanitary Landfill (SLF) designed and constructed
using acceptable engineering standards. Potential environmental impacts shall be
significantly considered in its design, construction, operation and maintenance.
Since the site is far from residential areas, no social resistance in the establishment
of the SLF is expected. In order to ensure the health and sanitation of the residents,
standards shall be set in the collection and transport of segregated wastes from the
waste source to the disposal facility.

The area will be designed and established based on hydro-geological


considerations which include complete facilities and amenities like construction of
residual waste cell, vault for special wastes, leachate pond, rainwater collector or
lagoon, drainage canal, monitoring well, washing and sanitation area, rainwater
collector, administration building with guard house, access road, buffer zones and
vegetation, and Municipal MRF for final sorting and waste recovery.

7.6.4 Categorized Disposal Facilities (Sanitary Landfill) Design

The Cell

With the average residual waste generation of 1,600 cubic meters per
annum, the new landfill cell with a dimension of 50m x 25m x 5m will be sufficient
for the next 10 years. Though adequate in capacity, ecologically acceptable
alternative technologies for the recovery of residual wastes shall also be undertaken
to prolong the lifespan of the SLF.

Figure 12. SLF Design – the cell

Leachate Pond

Considering the contour of the site, the leachate pond will be constructed at
the lower portion of the cell chamber. PVC pipes shall be used for the leachate
collection lines.

The 14% moisture content of mixed waste gathered during WACS and the average
volume of rainfall in the municipality were the major considerations in coming up
with the design of the leachate pond. It shall be an open facility with two (2) filtering
ponds for the initial and final filtering.

Rain Water Collector

A drainage canal situated at the upper part of the cell’s chamber will serve as
collector for rainwater and uncontaminated surface run-off. This will be constructed
using concrete culvert. Because of its strategic positioning, rain water and
uncontaminated run-off will fall by gravity into the lagoon.

7.7 SPECIAL WASTE

Special wastes shall be handled properly and put to the toxic waste vault
at MRF, later the LGU Santa Ana will put up a vault at the Sanitary Landfill.
Inappropriate disposal of these wastes may cause contamination, toxicity and
detriment to environment. Since special wastes have mixed to other waste, a
vault shall be constructed incorporated to sanitary land fill. Special waste
generators will pay users fee for maintenance. This will be also additional
source of income of LGU. The designed storage vault shall be intended to
accommodate the projected volume of special wastes to be disposed.

IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY
8.1 FRAME WORK

Solid wastes shall be classified into four (4) categories: Biodegradable,


Recyclable, Special and Residual wastes. Waste reduction should be the primary
concern of waste generators through segregation at source and proper waste
disposal. For biodegradable waste generated by households, these shall be
managed through backyard composting, reuse and recycling. Recyclable wastes
shall be sold to junkshops and itinerant buyers. The Materials Recovery Facility
maintained in every barangay shall serve as a sorting and recovery facility for
wastes. The Municipal Government shall collect residual and special wastes from
households and barangay MRF for processing in the Municipal MRF and final
disposal in the Sanitary landfill.

10- Year Ecological Solid Waste Management Plan (2019-2028) 82


Municipality of Santa Ana, Cagayan
10-YEAR ECOLOGICAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN
For solid waste generated in the public market and other public places
maintained by the municipal LGU, segregated waste shall be collected by the
MLGU for final sorting and processing at the Municipal MRF. After which the
residual and special waste are transported to the SLF for final disposal.

8.2 Diversion Projections

Waste diversion is the prevention and reduction of generated waste through source
reduction, recycling, reuse, or composting. RA 9003 mandates LGUs to divert at least
25% of all solid waste from waste disposal facilities through re-use, recycling and
composting activities and other resource recovery activities and shall be increased
every three (3) years thereafter.

The table below enumerates details of the waste diversion projections on


biodegradable and recyclable wastes. The data shall be useful in determining the
capacity of the Sanitary Landfill and to prolong its life span.

9.2.4 Other Legal Requirements

10- Year Ecological Solid Waste Management Plan (2019-2028) 91


Municipality of Santa Ana, Cagayan
10-YEAR ECOLOGICAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN
To augment allocation for ESWM Programs, garbage collection fees shall be
imposed to waste generators supported through an ordinance. Awards and

CHAPTER 10

Social and Environmental Aspects

10.1 SOCIAL ASPECTS

Public awareness and acceptance are one important factor for effective
implementation of solid waste management programs. It is vital to harness public’s
involvement and cooperation since they are the ones who play a major role in the
successful implementation of the plan and SWM programs.

Waste reduction and segregation at source required to households,


establishments and institutions may not be fully achieved / adopted during the
initial implementation. Those who are accustomed to traditional waste disposal
practices like open burning, mixed disposal in backyards and/or non – segregated
disposal to Municipal Garbage collection trucks may have the difficulty of adopting
the required practice. However, the strict enforcement of the LGUs “No Segregation,
No Collection Policy” and massive IEC will eventually mobilize the public in ensuring
their involvement and cooperation in the implementation of SWM programs.

Barangays that will play a crucial role in the management of biodegradable


and recyclable wastes may likewise be hesitant to take lead in the implementation
of the program. Counter-parting of funds to complement budgetary allocation for all
the programs, projects and activities to be implemented shall be institutionalized
10- Year Ecological Solid Waste Management Plan (2019-2028) 92
Municipality of Santa Ana, Cagayan
10-YEAR ECOLOGICAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN

between and among the MLGU, BLGU and other stakeholders is another major issue
to be resolved.

Trainings and seminars shall be provided to SWM Implementers in the LGU


to ensure that they effectively implement the ESWM programs. Operational
mechanisms shall be institutionalized to ensure non-proliferation of scavengers and
systematic operations of the SLF.

10.2 ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS


The implementation of the municipality’s 10 Year ESWM plan will cause a
significant impact most especially in securing health of the people and protecting the
environment.

The establishment of the SLF as a disposal facility will adequately cater to the
waste generation of the municipality. This will enable a systemized and
environmentally friendly waste management.

In it’s totally, the propose SWM system of the LGU and its disposal facility
poses no threat to the health and sanitation of the residents and ensures sustainable
development.

Funding Options

Options to finance the capital investments

Fund to finance capital investments shall largely depend on the 20%


Development Fund of the municipality. For the first two (2) years of program
implementation, approximately PhP10 Million shall be allocated to finance capital
investments. (See Table 11.1)

To ensure the sustainability of the project, other sources of funds to finance


investment costs like grants, aids and donations from national government agencies
or other funding institutions shall be explored by the municipal government.
Financing scheme under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) shall also be an
additional option for the LGU.

Although loan availment from banks and other development partners is a last option,
the municipal government does not, however, close its doors to avail of assistance
from financing institutions when the need is urgent and necessary.

Options to finance recurring cost

Recurring or annual costs for solid waste management shall be charged from
the Personal Services (PS) component of the IRA and from the budget for
Maintenance & Other Operating Expenses (MOOE). Revenues generated from the
collection of garbage or environmental fees, imposition of fines and penalties and
other locally-sourced revenues may also be used to finance recurring costs.

Municipality of Santa Ana, Cagayan
10-YEAR ECOLOGICAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN

Projected sources of revenues

Although implementation of the municipality’s Solid Waste Management


Program (SWMP) is basically a social service, other sources revenues must also be
explored to augment funding from the IRA. This strategy will ensure the
sustainability of the SWM services provided by the municipality.
Listed below are the possible sources of revenue:

 Share from the Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA)


If the municipality will solely depend from the twenty percent (20%)
development fund of the IRA to finance its solid waste management program,
it is estimated that an average of at least Four Million Pesos
(PhP4,000,000.00) of the Municipal Development Fund should be apportioned
for SWM purposes. Exploring other financing options would lessen the
dependency of the LGU’s solid waste management from the IRA and would
ensure sustainability of the program.
 Garbage or Environmental Fees
Collection monthly garbage or environmental fees from locators of the
Cagayan Economic Zone Authority (CEZA) could provide additional revenues
for the municipal government. With the assumption that 50% of CEZA
locators will avail of the SWM services of the LGU, at least PhP2 Million per
year can be generated by the LGU. This will contribute to a more efficient and
effective solid waste management service by the municipality.

 Collection and Use of Fines and Penalties


Fines and penalties from apprehended violators of ESWM ordinances could
be a possible source of revenues to augment budget for SWM programs to be
implemented by the municipality.

 Grants, aids and donations


Grants, aids and donations given by foreign and local donors could also be
requested by the local government unit to finance SWM programs. This
strategy will require the organization of a Technical Working Group (TWG)
which shall be in charged in preparing project proposals and other
requirement of funding agencies.

Cost Evaluation and Comparison

Cost for waste management per capita

To compute for the cost for waste management per capita, the formula below
was used:
Per Capita Cost = total cost/average population

Using the formula above, per capita cost for solid waste management in the
municipality is PhP1.20. This means that for the municipal solid waste
management program to be self-liquidating, an environmental or garbage fee

10- Year Ecological Solid Waste Management Plan (2019-2028) 100


Municipality of Santa Ana, Cagayan
10-YEAR ECOLOGICAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN

amounting to at least PhP1.20 per person should be collected from households by


the municipality.

Collection of environmental or garbage fees and imposition of fines and


penalties to apprehended violators should, however, be supported by an ordinance.

Cost for waste management by unit weight

To compute for the cost for waste management by unit weight, the formula
below was used:

Cost by unit weight = total cost/waste generation in kilograms

Using the formula above, cost for solid waste management by unit weight in
the municipality is PhP9.00.This means that if the Municipality opts to accept the
solid wastes of other municipalities for processing in their MRF/Ecopark, a Tipping
Fee of at least PhP9.00 per kilogram of waste should be collected to ensure cost
recovery.

Comparison of costs

The figure below presents a comparison of cost per stage. From the same figure,
we can deduce that stage 4 (establishment of the SLF) will incur the highest cost

Ways to optimize costs

In order to optimize the utilization of the LGU’s meagre resources for solid
waste management, the following strategies shall be advocated and implemented by
the municipality:

 Intensive advocacy on waste reduction and segregation at source to reduce


the frequency of waste collection and the volume of wastes;
 Implement a scheme to collect and dispose “only” clean and dry residual
wastes
 Continuously adopt a systematic route of collection to optimize use of vehicles
or collection equipment
 Encourage multi-tasking among SWM personnel for cost-efficiency

Summary

A comparison of the cost and revenues presented in the table below shows
that an average annual revenue of PhP4.9 Million will ensure the smooth and
sustainable implementation of the SWM program of the municipality. Additional
revenues should, however, be realized in the Year 2020 so that no budget deficit will
be incurred. Continuous appropriation of excess budget for the succeeding years
can also ensure sustainable program implementation.
