Examples of conflict and the provided solutions
Environmenta Impact
l Component
Likely to be
Affected
Land Possible conversion of marginally
utilized agricultural lands adjacent to
the newly constructed CALA
Expressway, particularly in Brgy.
Kaong, Sabutan, Tibig, Carmen, and
Inchican in Silang, Cavite into other
uses
Geology Possible occurrence of rain-induced
landslide and soil erosion along cut
sections and slope areas
Possible occurrence of earthquake-
induced landslides
Mitigation/Enhancement Measures
 Concerned LGUs must pass necessary ordinances and strictly
implement such to support existing legislations prohibiting illegal
conversion of agricultural lands into other uses
 Suitable angle of repose along cut areas will be maintained to
prevent occurrence of landslides and soil erosion;
 Slope and pier protection with retaining structures will be
constructed along unstable slopes;
 Removal of vegetation and tree cutting will be limited to the
required ROW of 50-60 m; and
 Re-vegetation of identified erosion prone areas with suitable grass
species (e.g. vetiver) and other common slope protection plant
species will be considered
 Landsides due to earthquake if ever it will occur will be confined
on gully walls and possibly at the escarpment at the eastern margin
of the volcanic slope;
 The alignment will not pass along escarpments; and
 Bridges crossing gullies will have well-engineered abutments
founded into the gully floor or imbedded into the gully walls
Flooding Possible aggravation of existing  Dumping of garbage along the natural waterways must be
