SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Ϯϱϳ 3

THREE PRIMARY PILLARS OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT


1. Economic Development
APPLICATION of ENVIRONMENTAL PRINCIPLES*
• A state's sovereign right to exploit its own resources in accordance with its own policies, without
harming the environment elsewhere. Ex. Change in land use; relocation; sustainable
transportation, improved fuel efficiency; renewable energy.

• Right to development. Ex. Pursue an integrated & systematized development approach, Green
infrastructure, water & energy conservation.
* Formulated at the UN Earth Summit participated in by 150 nations in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on
June 3-14, 1992.

2 & 3. Consumptive use of world’s natural resources in ways that are sustainable.
APPLICATION of ENVIRONMENTAL PRINCIPLES*
• Environmental protection as an integral part of development. Ex. Carbon sink; always use
resources efficiently; Promote citizen’s participation & decentralize program implementation.
• Sustainable development that requires reducing unsustainable patterns of production and
consumption' and that promotes appropriate demographic policies. Ex. Genuine business

continuity planning to meet the needs of the future; Equity in access to resources;
Intergenerational equity; Health programs.
• Polluter’s pay principle.

THREE PLAYERS OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT ARE YOU READY?
PCAPI RIV-A PCAPI RIV-A 1. STEWARDS are mandated to ABIDE by the purpose of
the environment.
2. STEWARDS are mandated to manage to INCREASE and
create value in the environment.

3. STEWARDS are mandated to design order and own it.
It is our task in our time and in our generation, to hand

down undiminished to those who come after us, as was
handed down to us by those who went before, the natural
wealth and beauty which is ours.

OBJECTIVES:
 Identify the main causes of climate change.
 Identify and understand the impacts of climate change at the different levels (individual,

community, company operation, country, global)
 Identify and appreciate the role of a PCO in spearheading mitigating and adaptation measures
to increase business resilience to climate change.
Climate and Weather- Is there any difference?

Climate
• Long-term average weather pattern in one place.
• Influenced by slow changes in the ocean, the land, the orbit of the Earth about the sun, and
the energy output of the sun.
• Fundamentally controlled by the balance of energy of the Earth and its atmosphere

Weather
• Conditions at one particular time and place, including temperature and rainfall.
• Can change very rapidly from day to day, and from year to year.
• Changes involve shifts in temperatures, precipitation, winds, and clouds.

What is CLIMATE CHANGE?
“Any change in climate over time, whether due to natural variability or as a result of human
activity.” -IPCC
▪ Climate change is not exclusive to warming or cooling.
-- Warming or cooling is not necessarily what’s happening in your backyard

Causes of Climate Change
 Both natural and human factors change Earth’s climate.
NATURAL CAUSES: MAN-MADE CAUSES:

✓ Earth’s orbit ✓ adding billions of tons of heat-trapping
✓ changes in solar activity greenhouse gases to the atmosphere
✓ volcanic eruptions
*Naturally occurring greenhouse gases: Man-made greenhouse gases:

a. carbon dioxide (CO2), a. carbon dioxide (CO2)

b. methane (CH4) b. methane (CH4)
c. nitrous oxide (N2O) c. nitrous oxide (N2O)
~normally trap some of the sun’s heat, d. sulfur hexafluoride (SF6)
keeping the planet from freezing. e. Fluorinated gases (F gases)

(www.lifescience.com) Human activities, such as the
burning of fossil fuels, are increasing
greenhouse gas levels, leading to an
Average Global Temperature: enhanced greenhouse effect.

-Global Warming and Melting of Ice Caps
2. Sea Level Rise

Imagine a 1-meter rise in sea level.
Population to be affected: More than 100 million people (living within 1m of mean sea level)
Sea level rise in the Philippines is 3x higher than global average

64 coastal provinces
822 coastal municipalities

25 major coastal cities
64% of all LGUs
13.6 million Filipinos for relocation
3. Ocean Acidification

“Marine species are threatened to mass extinction due to ocean acidification”
-CO2 is converted it to Carbonic Acid.
-Coral reef species are composed of Calcium Carbonate will be dissolved by increasing Carbonic Acid
levels. They may not look like much, but these tiny creatures are the foundation of tropical and arctic
food webs that support fish populations and larger marine animals

4. Decrease in Agricultural Productivity
Higher Temperatures Affect Food Production

*Average global yields for several of the crops studied responded negatively to warmer temperatures.
*Temperature threshold per crop:
 29°C for rice Why is this critical?

 30°C for soybeans -- 55% of non-meat calories (humans)
 34-40°C for corn -- 70% of the world's animal feed
5. Change in Season Duration & Intervals Cause Change in Wildlife Species and Population Behavior
Forests and Wildlife

As climate change affects temperature and precipitation patterns and levels, wildlife is being forced to
change their migratory patterns, their habitat ranges and other population behaviors.
6. Higher Temperature & Higher Incidence of Vector-Borne Illnesses

 Change in rainfall and temperature can influence how infectious diseases affect the world, particularly

illnesses spread by vectors like mosquitoes.
 Diseases spread by mosquitoes are particularly affected by climate change, since the insects lay their
eggs in standing water, be it in puddles, ponds, lakes or tide pools.
Higher Incidences of Diseases

Health impacts of air pollution in the Philippines:

66,000 premature deaths/yr
22,500 preterm births/yr
24 million sick leave days /yr
7. Higher Ocean Temperature

Corals are known as the tropical forests of the oceans and sustain diverse life forms. As ocean waters
in the tropics become warmer, corals reefs will be damaged since corals are very sensitive to changes
in water temperature, which causes coral bleaching.

benefit of the present and future generation.
KEY OPERATING PRINCIPLE IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PHILIPPINE EIS SYSTEM

❑ Assessing the direct and indirect impacts of a project on the biophysical and human environment
and ensuring that these impacts are addressed by appropriate environmental protection and
enhancement measures.
❑ Project proponents are responsible for determining and disclosing all relevant information
necessary for a methodical assessment of the environmental impacts on their project.

❑ Guided by three general criteria.
✓ Environmental consideration
✓ Assessment is technically sound
✓ proposed environmental mitigating measures are effective
✓ meaningful public participation

EMB MANDATES
❑ A line Bureau by virtue of Section 34 of the Philippine Clean Air Act of 1999 (or RA 8749) and
mandated to implement on a nationwide scale the said Act and other environmental laws to with:

1. RA 8749 (Clean Air Act of 1999)
2. RA 9275 (Philippine Clean Water Act of 2004)

WHAT IS ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT (EIA)?
1. Predicting the likely environmental consequences of implementing a project on the environment during
Construction, Commissioning, Operation and Abandonment.

2.Designing appropriate Preventive Mitigating and Enhancement Measures to protect the environment
and the community’s welfare (DAO 2003-30)
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT (EIA)

A systematic process that examines the environmental consequences of an activity to:
• Bio-physical environment
• Socio –economic environment

C. Socio-Cultural
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT SYSTEM (PD 1586) Sec. 4

Requires ALL government agencies, government-owned or controlled corporation and private companies
to prepare an environmental impact assessment for any projects that will significantly affect the quality of

the environment.
This assessment is essential in obtaining an Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) issued by DENR.
1. Rationalizing the Implementation of the EIS System
2. Giving authority, in addition to the DENR Secretary, to the Director and Regional Directors of the EMB to
grant or deny the issuance of ECCs.

WHAT IS THE EIS REPORT?
❑ Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is the formal official document of studies of the
environmental impacts of a project including the discussions on direct and indirect consequences
upon human welfare and ecological and environmental integrity.
It includes an Environmental Management Plan (EMP)/Program that the proponent will fund and

implement to protect the environment.
❑ The EIS vary from project to project but shall contain in every case all relevant information and
details about the proposed project or undertaking, including the environmental impacts of the
project and the appropriate mitigating and enhancement measures.

❑ The EIS usually follow an outline prescribed by law or its implementing guidelines.

WHAT IS AN ECC?
Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC)
▪ is the document issued by the DENR Secretary thru the EMB, or the Regional Director

Application decision document issued to the proponent after thorough review of the EIA Report - It outlines
the commitments of the proponent which are necessary for the project to comply with existing
environmental regulations or to operate within the best environmental practice that are not currently
covered by existing laws.

▪ that the proponent is committed to implement its approved Environmental Management Plan
(EMP) in the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) or mitigating measures.
▪ EMP is section in the EIS that details the prevention, mitigation, compensation, contingency and
monitoring measures to enhance positive impacts and minimize negative impacts and risks of
a proposed project or undertaking.

❖ Scope of project or undertaking (In terms of area, capacity technology or process)
❖ Conditions as conformed by the Project Proponent to implement mitigating measures for
potentially negative impacts and/or
❖ Enhancement measures for potentially positive impacts as identified in the EIA Process
❖ List of recommendation pertaining compliance/ satisfaction to concerned LGUs/ agencies/

stakeholders.
❖ non-compliance to any of the conditions may be imposed a corresponding penalty….
WHAT IS A CNC?
A Certificate of Non-Coverage (CNC)

certifies that, based on the submitted Project Description Report,
• the project is not covered by the EIS System and is not required to secure an ECC.
• Further, the CNC advises the Proponent on coverage to other requirements by other DENR
offices, LGUs or other government agencies.

EIA Requirements of the Philippine Government
Standardized Requirements
All ECC applications shall be accompanied by an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report in the
form of an Environmental Impacts Examination (IEE) Checklist Report, an Environmental Performance
Report and Management Plan (EPRMP), Programmatic EIS or Programmatic EPRMP

Certificate of Non -Coverage (CNC) applications shall be accompanied by a pro forma project

ECOLOGICAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT ACT


An average Filipino generates an estimated volume of 0.32 kg to 0.71kg per day in rural &
urban areas respectively.

Waste can be generated from households, schools, industries/factories, hospitals, agriculture,
and offices/businesses/other establishments.

WASTE STORAGE
• Materials Recovery Facility (Mobile/Stationary)
➢ Segregated collection & compartmentalization

WASTE COLLECTION
• Based on NSWMC Status Report 2018, 43% to 100% collection efficiency in 128 LGUs
(ENRMP)
• 30% to more than 90% collection coverage in the LGUs
• Frequency of waste collection varies ranging from twice a week to once every two weeks.

• Collection efficiency in urban areas is estimated at 85% (NSWMC data base).
• Collection efficiency in rural areas is estimated at 40%.
• Waste not collected are mostly indiscriminately dumped, burnt, goes to our water system
or to open dumps.

WASTE TRANSFER & TRANSPORT
• A transfer station is established if the hauling distance from the source to the disposal facility is
far.
• Smaller dump truck transfers the collected waste to a bigger dump truck.

• The big dump trucks then transport the solid waste to the disposal facility.
• MMDA used to operate a transfer station in Las Piñas.
• Carmona, Silang and Taytay operate a transfer station.
WASTE PROCESSING & RECOVERY

• No reliable data on the extent of recycling and composting in the country.
• Recycling remains largely an informal-sector activity.
• In 1997, only 6% of SW is recycled in MM. In 2000, recycling rate is at 13%.

LAGUNA DE BAY – A NATIONAL CONCERN
“…Laguna Lake shall be transformed into a vibrant economic zone showcasing ecotourism by addressing

the negative impacts of the watershed destruction, land conversion and pollution…”
-President Rodrigo R. Duterte |State of the Nation Address, 25 July 2016
Outline of Presentation
I. Laguna de Bay Watershed
II. Lake Uses – a Multiple use Resource

III. Issues and Concerns
IV. LLDA and Clearances/Permits Issued
V. The Environmental Users Fee (EUF) System of LLDA
VI. Inspection and Compliance Monitoring Protocols
VII. Policy Updates and LLDA Jurisprudence

I. THE LAGUNA DE BAY WATERSHED
➢ Pasig River is the only outlet of the lake;
➢ Some 100 streams drain into the lake;
➢ divided into twenty-four (24)
➢ It cradles a region encompassing 6
provinces, 12 cities, 49 municipalities
and 2,656 barangays, 187 of which are

hydrological sub-basins; within lakeshore;
➢ watershed area = approx. 3,820 km2 ➢ watershed total human population =
about seventeen (17) million.

III. ISSUES AND CONCERN

A) Rapid Siltation
– delta formation in river mouths
– hill slope erosion
Sediments coming from the watershed; about 4 million metric tons annually
B) Watershed Degradation

– Slash & Burn Farming (Kaingin)
– Deforestation
– Resource Extraction (including quarrying)
C) Uncontrolled/Indiscriminate Land Development
• Bay Breeze Subdivision, Taguig City- Sept. 27, 2009

• Cherry Hills Subdivision, Antipolo City- 1999
• Bayanan Elementary School, Muntinlupa City- Sept. 27, 2009
• Muntinlupa Sports Center- Sept. 27, 2009
D) Urban and Lakeshore Floodings

Modelling of storm Surge

Due to the large surface area of the lake and its shallow waters, it is possible to have a storm
surge in Laguna Lake waters (e.g., periodic rise and fall of the water level created by the stormy wind,
as in a typhoon event). Typhoon Ketsana (Ondoy), Sept. 27, 2009, Typhoon Marinae (Santi) Oct. 31, 2009,
Mangahan Floodway
E) Improper waste disposal

-80% of families living on the river banks and lake shore land have no proper sanitation facilities,
making the lake and tributaries their “pozo negro”
-Some 10,000 MT of garbage generated daily in Metro Manila alone, 10% of which end up in
the lake (LLDA BOD Study, 2009)

AND POLICY UPDATES
F) Degrading Water Quality
Impacts:
• Decline in fish harvest/Fish kills; • Hazard of water for recreation;

• Unsuitability of water for beneficial • More costly water treatment.
use;
Up to 75% of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) generated is organic, and 45% can be recycled to produce
methane gas; Even in urban areas with efficient garbage systems, about 20% of total MSW remains uncollected
and dumped by residents into water bodies.

INSTITUTIONAL AND FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS

➢ LLDA administratively attached to the Department of Environment and Natural resources (DENR - national
line agency) and interacts with 2 Regional ENR offices with decentralized ENR regulatory responsibilities;
➢ Over 30 other water-related agencies operating in the basin and 66 LGUs with environment-related

functions (1991 Local Government Code), but LLDA Governing Board has limited stakeholders/agency
representations.
➢ Fiscal independence – LLDA authorized to generate, appropriate, channel and leverage its own funds to
fulfill water resources management roles and activities;
➢ Innovative financing mechanisms and market-based incentives adopted for Integrated Water Resources

Management, including water resources and environmental management

ENVIRONMENTAL USER FEE (EUF) SYSTEM OF LLDA
THE PIONEERING WASTEWATER CHARGE SYSTEM IN THE PHILIPPINES
LEGAL BASIS
➢ LLDA Board Resolution No. 33, Series of 1996- “Implementing the Environmental User Fee

System in the Laguna de Bay Region” as amended by BR 322, series of 1997
➢ LLDA Board Resolution No. 404 Series of 2011- “Adopting the Fines and Penalties Imposed under
Section 28 of R.A. 9275 (Philippine Clean Water Act of 2004)”
The Environmental User Fee System (EUFS)

➢ The EUFS was launched by LLDA in January 1997 as a pioneering wastewater charge system in

the Philippines;
➢ EUFS is a market-based instrument that applies the “polluters pay principle”;
➢ EUFS serves as an economic means to force polluters to reduce/abate water pollution while
instituting remedial measures within their establishment;
➢ Pollution case is filed against firms discharging wastewater exceeding standards for BOD5 and

other regulated parameters.
EUFS Coverage
Introduction Phase (1997):
Top five (5) Polluting Industries - beverages, food processing, pulp & paper, piggeries /slaughterhouses
and textiles;

Second Phase (1998 - 1999):
All industries with wastewater, subdivisions and commercial establishment, including food chains and
restaurants;
Ongoing Implementation:
EUFS was adopted as a long-term Environmental Management Program of the LLDA.

Who are covered by this EUFS?
All development projects, installations, activities that discharge liquid waste into and pose a threat to
the environment of the Laguna de Bay Region which covers industrial, commercial, domestic and
agricultural sources.

DISCHARGE PERMIT is the legal authorization granted by LLDA to discharge liquid waste or wastewater
of specified concentration and volume into the sewer or any water body that directly or eventually drains
into the Laguna de Bay. Usually valid for 1 to 3 years, renewable within one month prior to its expiration.

BOD Loading from Point Sources
The reduction in BOD loading was due to several factors: (a) increased efforts among the sources to
treat their wastewater, (b) wastewater recycling activities, (c) waste minimization, (d) voluntary closure

or relocation, (e) conversion from wet to dry process.
The BOD loadings from some industrial sources revealed a decreasing trend, which could mean that the
EUFS implementation is quite effective for pollution abatement. However, there are firms that are not
always complying with the standards – hence a sustained compliance monitoring is needed.

FEE STRUCTURE OF THE EUFS
(A) Fixed Fee - cost of compliance monitoring, laboratory analysis, etc.
Conventional
Wastewater Discharge (Q) is less than 30 cubic meters/day
Fixed Fee
PHP 8,000.00

Wastewater Q is greater than 150 cubic meters/day PHP 24,000.00

(B) Variable Fee – depend on the strength or concentration of the pollutant as well as the total volume
of discharge.
Formula for the Net Waste Load, Ln:
Ln (PPP) = [(Cf – Ca) (Qf x Nf)] x 0.001
Where:

Ln = Net Waste Load, kg/year
PPP = Priority Pollutant Parameter (either BOD5 or TSS depending on industry category)
Cf = average concentration of PPP in the effluent (mg/L)
Ca = average concentration of PPP in the abstracted water (mg/L)
Qf = average daily volumetric flow rate of the (final) effluent or wastewater discharged (m3/day)
Nf = Number of discharge days per year (days/year)

The major pollutants of concern combustors are particulate matter (PM), sulfur oxides (SOx),

and nitrogen oxides (NOx). Some unburned combustibles, including carbon monoxide (CO) and
numerous organic compounds, are generally emitted even under proper boiler operating conditions.
PARTICULATE MATTER
• PM emissions include the ash from combustion of the fuel as well as unburned carbon

resulting from incomplete combustion.
• PM is primarily composed of inorganic ash residues depending on fuel type.
• Particulate emissions may be categorized as either filterable or condensable.
• Filterable emissions are generally considered to be the particles that are trapped by the glass
fiber filter.
• Vapors and particles less than 0.3 microns pass through the filter. Condensable particulate

matter is material that is emitted in the vapor state which later condenses to form
homogeneous and/or heterogeneous aerosol particles.
Suspended Particulate matter is a major concern in Metro Manila and other urban areas in
the Philippines

Quality UK59)

SULFUR OXIDES

• Gaseous SOx are dependent on the sulfur content of the fuel. Sox from combustion are primarily
sulfur dioxide (SO2), with a much lower quantity of sulfur trioxide (SO3) and gaseous sulfates.
• These compounds form as the organic sulfur in the coal are oxidized during the combustion
process.

R.A. Z͘͘ϴϳϰϵ͗W,/>/WW/E>E/Zd
8749: PHILIPPINE CLEAN AIR ACT 136
ϭϭϵ


• On average, about 95 percent of the sulfur present in bituminous coal will be emitted as


gaseous SOx, whereas somewhat less will be emitted when subbituminous coal is fired.
• The more alkaline nature of the ash in some subbituminous coals causes some of the sulfur to
react in the furnace to form various sulfate salts that are retained in the boiler or in the flyash.
NITROGEN OXIDES
Emission characterized by operating temperatures of the combustion chamber. Lower heat

release rates reduce peak combustion temperatures and, hence, contribute to lower Nox
emissions. Higher temperature results to Increase in Nox emissions.
CARBON MONOXIDE / ORGANIC COMPOUNDS

CO and total organic compound (TOC)emissions are dependent on combustion efficiency.

Generally their emission rates, defined as mass of emissions per unit of heat input decrease
with increasing combustor size. Organic compound emissions are expected to be lower for
firing units and higher for underfed and overfeeding of fuel due to relative combustion
efficiency levels.

TRACE METALS
Trace metals are also emitted during combustion. The quantity of any given metal emitted, in
general, depends on:
- the physical and chemical properties of the metal itself;
- the concentration of the metal in the coal; eg. Hg
- the combustion conditions; and

- the type of particulate control device used, and its collection efficiency as a function of
particle size.
II. Common Air Pollutants and their Health Effect

POLLUTANT SOURCES COMMON HEALTH IMPACT

Particulate Matter, Particulates are directly emitted through dust Reduced lung function; inflammation of the
measures as TSP, and combustion processes, including vehicular lungs; increases susceptibility to respiratory
PM10 and PM2.5 exhaust, burning of fossil fuels and burning of infections; aggravation of heart and lung
waste, or indirectly from reactions of other diseases; may cause chronic bronchitis and

Health Effects


Dust and particulates below PM10 are
likely to enter the lungs. Dust and
particulate matter that is smaller than
2.5 micrometers (PM2.5) can enter
into the Alveoli where gas exchange

occurs. This PM2.5 is more dangerous
as it can affect the exchange of gases
within the lungs and even penetrate
the lung into the blood stream and
cause other health issues.

Eye, nose and throat irritation,
headaches, loss of coordination,
nausea, damage to liver, kidney, and
central nervous system.

DAO 2000-81)


TYPE OF EQUIPMENT
Sampling for compliance purposes shall be conducted using the prescribed methods
24-HR High Volume Sampler

High Volume Sampler is the most common
and widely used dust sampler for ambient
air. Ambient air is drawn through a glass
fiber filter at a flow rate of 1.1 to 1.7m3/min
over a period of 24 hours The sampled dust

is called Total Suspended Particulate (TSP).

1-HR High Volume Sampler
High volume sampler operates by the

principle of filtration which uses suction
blowers equipped with flow control devices

to determine the volume of air passing
through the filter medium.

Sampling Site Selection


DAO 2000-81 requires that sampling shall be done at an elevation of at least two meters above the
ground level and conducted either at the property line or at downwind distance of five to twenty
times the stack height, whichever is more stringent.
Siting Considerations for Ground-Level Monitoring Stations

1. Height above ground 7. Meteorological Mast

2. Position from road 8. Positioning of High Volume
3. Restrictions to airflow Samplers
4. Local interference 9. Positioning of Intake Probe
5. Trees 10. General Topography
6. Flyover
PCAPI RIV-A PCAPI RIV-A Trees

There shall be no trees between road and the
probe or samplers. Preferably, both the TSP and
PM10 samplers and the sample air intake probe

to foliage of the tree should be more than 20m
from trees shown in Fig. No. 4.8.

Positioning of Intake Probe
The sample air intake probe should be 2 ± ½ m
above for gas analyser and 1-1.5 for high volume

samplers ground, 10m from the edge of the nearest
traffic lane, and at least 1m horizontally and vertically
from supporting structure, wall, parapet, penthouse,
etc., and also away from dirty and dusty area. The probe should be at least 2m away from high volume
samplers shown in Fig. No. 4.13.

Data required in Industrial Source Monitoring:
1. Annual Fuel Consumption (gals/year)
2. Fuel Type (Diesel, Bunker, Coal, etc.)
Fuel Oil Classification Types

Two major categories of fuel oil are burned by combustion sources: distillate oils and residual oils.
These oils are further distinguished by grade numbers, with Nos. 1 and 2 being distillate oils; Nos. 5
and 6 being residual oils; and No. 4 being either distillate oil or a mixture of distillate and residual oils.
No. 6 fuel oil is sometimes referred to as Bunker C. Distillate oils are more volatile and less viscous

than residual oils. They have negligible nitrogen and ash contents and usually contain less than 0.3
percent sulfur (by weight). Distillate oils are used mainly in domestic and small commercial
applications, and include kerosene and diesel fuels. Being more viscous and less volatile than distillate
oils, the heavier residual oils (Nos. 5 & 6) may need to be heated for ease of handling and to facilitate
proper atomization. Because residual oils are produced from the residue remaining after the lighter

fractions (gasoline, kerosene, and distillate oils) have been removed from the crude oil, they contain
significant quantities of ash, nitrogen, and sulfur. Residual oils are used mainly in utility, industrial, and
large commercial applications.

Monitoring System (OPMS). https://opms.emb.gov.ph
The DENR Shall have the authority to issue permits as it may determine necessary for the
prevention and abatement of air pollution”. “Said permits shall cover emission limitations for

regulated air pollutants to help attain and maintain the ambient air quality standards”.

Basic AQMS Concept
ALL SOURCES of air pollutant emissions will require a permit to operate (PTO)/registration
All sources shall comply with the Air Quality Standards before it can be issued a PTO or can be

registered (in case of MV)
Air Quality Standards Being Implemented under DENR-EMB

❑ National Ambient Air Quality Standard to protect public health and welfare.
❑ Source (smokestack) Emission standards for industries.

❑ Ambient Air emission standards for source specific emissions.
Who May Apply for a Permit to Operate?

For any trade, industry, process, fuel-burning equipment or industrial plant emitting air
pollutants shall apply for Permit to Operate from EMB Regional Office.
As such, they shall file an application using the prescribed form.

Equipment covered by Permit to Operate
Equipment to include boilers, generators, dryers, furnace, incinerators and other equipment
with heat conduction or heat transfer are required to apply. All other equipment covered and
stipulated in Rule XXV, Section 5 –b (e.g., reheating furnaces, ovens, coffee heaters, varnish kettle,

paint booths and similar equipment. Other sources as determined and evaluated by the Bureau that
will emit regulated pollutants vented to atmosphere (fugitive particulates and volatile organic
compound or organic solvents as stipulated by Section 13 a and b).
Exemptible Equipment
Any article, machine, equipment, contrivance, operation, process, or activity which the Bureau

determines and evaluated as not causing the discharge of regulated air pollutants in sufficient
quantity, with respect to its character, quality or content, and circumstances surrounding its location,
use and operation, as to contribute significantly to the air pollution (ambient and source emission
standards).

Permits to Operate | Air Pollution Installation
• Temporary Permits to Operate are issued for sampling and inspection purposes which are
valid for 3 months (Rule XIX, Section 7 of the IRR of R.A. 8749)
• Regular Permits to Operate are issued after complying to the requirements and conditions
of the IRR of the Clean Air Act such as Ambient and Emission Standards.

Renewal of Permit to Operate
Renewal of the Permit to Operate shall be at least 30 days before expiration date as specified in
Section 8, Rule XIX of the IRR of the PCAA and as one of the conditions of the permit.
Grounds for Non- Issuance of Permit to Operate

Non-compliance with or violation of the Act, and/or permit conditions such as non-submission
of the necessary report (e.g. PCO report), exceedance of the emission limits/standards, non-submission
of documents needed relative to the application, non-payment of the required fees and other relevant
reason stipulated in Rule XIX, Section 10 of the IRR of R.A. 8749

Time Frame of Permit Issuance
As stipulated in DAO 2004-26, the Bureau shall act within twenty-five (25) days for the approval
or denial on the application of the permit to operate. (Subject to completeness of application
requirements)
Evaluation of PTO Application

The things to be considered prior to issuance of PTO:
❑ Check the Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) or Certificate of Non-Coverage (CNC).
• This will be the basis for the imposition of environmental fee.
❑ Year of installation of the APSE/APCF.
• Another basis for imposing environmental fee.

• Electrostatic Precipitator’s (ESPs)
ESPs remove particles from a contaminated gas stream by employing the principle of attraction
of opposite charges. The particles are charged in a high voltage electric field created by a corona
discharge electrode and are then attracted to a collection plate of opposite charge.

• Cyclone/Multi-cyclone Collectors
In a cyclone, the dirty gas stream is directed into a cylindrical shell either through a tangential
entry or through turning vanes. The result is a confined vortex in which centrifugal forces drive
the entrained particles toward the outside wall. Particles successfully deposited slide down the
wall and into the hopper from which they are removed through a dust discharge valve.

• Wet Scrubbers
Wet collectors remove contaminants from a gas stream by transferring them to some type of
scrubbing liquid. For particles larger than about 1 micron, the dominant separation
mechanism is impaction onto liquid droplets or wetted targets. For sub-micron particles and

gases, the dominant mechanism is diffusion to liquid surfaces.
Simultaneous collection of both particles and gases is usually possible only when the gas has
a very high affinity for the scrubbing liquid.

Basic Description:


1. The Diesel fuel from the tank is injected to the engine cylinder by the injection and produce
mechanical energy that drives the generators to produce electricity
2. Generated power then passes through the Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) which is an automatic
switching device that allows the electricity to flow.

3. The generator set is only during power failure.
4. Oil is the used as lubricants for engine internal parts, which is being cleansed depending on the
operating hours.

5. Used oil is collected and stored in containers.
6. The fuels gasses produced by the engine are to the atmosphere through exhaust pipe provided
with silencer.
All gen set units installed at each cell site are diesel- fueled engines. During brownouts the gen sets

units for maximum of 2 to 4 hours only. And regularity once a week, Service Station personnel
generators stock up are doing “warm up activity from 15 to 30 minutes operation.
PRIMARY AIR POLLUTANTS4

The primary pollutants from internal (IC) engines are oxides nitrogen (NOx), total organic
compounds (TOC), carbon monoxide (CO), and particulates, which include both visible (smoke) and
non-visible emissions. Nitrogen oxide formation process and the nitrogen content, if any of the fuel.
The other pollutants HC, CO and smoke are primarily the result of incomplete combustion. Ash and
metallic additives in the fuel also contribute to the particulate content of the exhaust, Sulfur oxides

(SOx) also appear in the exhaust from IC engines.
Of the major air pollutants, the sulfur content of fuel is the only pollutant that is regulated
because the emission of other pollutants like particulate matter and nitrogen oxides may be
controlled by varying the operating conditions of the stationary source like the fuel-air ratio and

temperature. Emissions of Nitrogen oxides may also be reduced by altering the design of the
stationary source. In the case of sulfur, the amounts of sulfur oxides emissions can be changed only
be reducing the sulfur content of the fuel.
The actual emission of gen set have lower for PM, NOx , TOC & CO due to installed exhaust
after-treatment such as particulate traps, selective catalytic reduction and oxidation catalysts but in

the absence of efficiency data for these control devices, the emission was treated to be uncontrolled
for inventory purposes only.
To prevent hazardous emission from These Standby gen set, regular maintenance activities on
the air and fuel filters every 250 running hours or every 6 months, whichever comes first are being

undertaken by Gasoline Service Station

“RULE OF THUMB”
From Cradle to Grave. The GENERATOR has the responsibility until the waste has been disposed of
properly in an environmentally sound way or liable in case of spill or illegal disposal

 Continue to own and be responsible for the waste generated until the waste had been certified by an
accredited waste treater as adequately treated, recycled, reprocessed or disposed of.
WHY DO WE NEED TO MANAGE CHEMICALS & HAZARDOUS WASTES?
Definition of Hazardous Wastes (DAO 2013-22)

 Substances that are without any safe commercial, industrial, agricultural or economic usage
and are shipped, transported or brought from the country of origin for dumping or disposal
into or in transit through any part of the territory of the Philippines,
 By-products, side-products, process residues, spent reaction media, contaminated plant or
equipment or other substances from manufacturing operations and as consumer discards of

manufactured products which present unreasonable risk and/or injury to health and safety
and to environment.
HAZARDOUS WASTE NATURE

1.Solid 2. Liquid 3. Sludge 4. Gas

CHARACTERISTICS OF HAZARDOUS WASTE
1. TOXICITY - poisonous (acute), carcinogenic, teratogenic, or mutagenic effect on human and
other organisms (chronic). Substance is threat to water supplies
TCLP – Toxicity Characteristics Leaching Procedure

2. IGNITABILITY* – can create fire under certain conditions; friction sensitive substances like
solvents; Causes or enhances fire
*Some of the Hazardous Waste with these characteristics have good heating value and could be
utilized as an alternative fuel, while others are recoverable
3. CORROSIVITY – acidic or basic capable of corroding metals; by chemical action, can cause severe

damage when in contact with living tissue.
4. REACTIVITY – unstable under normal conditions and readily undergo violent changes without
detonating; reacts violently with water and create spontaneously explosive mixtures of toxic
gases, vapors, and fumes; and capable of detonating (explosion)

EVENTS FLOWCHART IN THE ADJUDICATION OF POLLUTION CASE (Figure 2)

SAMPLE OF POLLUTION CASES

1. Pollution Adjudication Board vs. Court of Appeals and Solar Textile Finishing
Corporation (G.R. No. 93891; March 11, 1991)
The Facts: Respondent Solar assailed the Ex parte Cease and Desist Order by petitioner

Pollution Adjudication Board on the ground that the former was denied due process and
that the degree of threat required for the said Order is remiss. Petitioner reasoned that
under PD No.984 Section 7(a), the Board has the legal authority to issue ex parte orders to
suspend the operations of an establishment when there is prima facie evidence that such
establishment is discharging effluents or wastewater, the pollution level of which exceeds

the maximum permissible standards set by the NPCC.

ϭϳϳ
Ruling: The Court ruled in favor of petitioner.
The Court held that the Board may issue the ex parte cease and desist order upon prima facie

evidence that the respondent corporation has waste discharge beyond the allowable standards
set by the NPCC (Sec5, Effluent Regulations of 1982 and Sec7(a), PD 984). If it has not yet been
subject to the allowable standard, the Board may still issue ex parte cease and desist order upon
prima facie evidence that the effluent pose an "immediate threat to life, public health, safety or
welfare, or to animal or plant life.

2. Pacific Steam Laundry vs. Laguna Lake Development Authority (G.R. No. 165299,
December 18, 2009)
The Facts: Petitioner Pacific Steam Laundry, Inc. (petitioner) is a company engaged in the
business of laundry services. On 6 June 2001, the Environmental Management Bureau of the

Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) endorsed to respondent Laguna
Lake Development Authority (LLDA) the inspection report on the complaint of black smoke
emission from petitioner’s plant located at 114 Roosevelt Avenue, Quezon City.
On 22 June 2001, LLDA conducted an investigation and found that untreated wastewater

generated from petitioner’s laundry washing activities was discharged directly to the San
Francisco Del Monte River.
Petitioner’s plant was operating without LLDA clearance, AC/PO-ESI, and Discharge Permit
from LLDA.

The result of the laboratory analysis showed non-compliance with effluent standards
particularly Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Oil/Grease
Concentration and Color Unit
3. Issue: Whether the Laguna Lake Development Authority has the power to impose

fines.
Ruling: Yes. The Laguna Lake Development Authority has the power to impose fines as
provided for under the law.

Under EO No. 927, LLDA is granted additional powers and functions to effectively perform
its role and to enlarge its prerogatives of monitoring, licensing and enforcement. Although
the powers of the Pollution Adjudication Board and the LLDA reveal substantial similarities,
the difference is that while Section 19 of EO No. 192 vested the Pollution Adjudication Board
with the specific power to adjudicate pollution cases in general, the scope of authority of
LLDA to adjudicate pollution cases is limited to the Laguna Lake region as defined by RA No.

4850, as amended. Based on jurisprudence, the adjudication of pollution cases generally
pertains to the Pollution Adjudication Board, except where a special law, such as the LLDA
Charter, provides for another forum. Furthermore, contrary to petitioner’s contention, LLDA’s
power to impose fines is not unrestricted. The P1,000 penalty per day is in accordance with
the amount of penalty prescribed under PD No. 984

THE POLLUTION ADJUDICATION BOARD, Petitioner, v. N. DELA MERCED & SONS, INC.,
Respondent.

G.R. No. 201658, January 22, 2018
N. DELA MERCED & SONS, INC., Petitioner, v. REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES,
REPRESENTED BY THE POLLUTION ADJUDICATION BOARD, Respondent.

Issue:
1. Whether Dela Merced & Sons was denied due process.
2. Whether the issuance of a CNC means exemption from compliance with R.A. 9275.
3. Whether Sec. 28 of R.A. 9275 on the imposition of fines is unconstitutional under Section
19(1), Article III of the Constitution for being excessive.
4. Whether the amount of the fine imposed was correct, assuming that its imposition was

proper.
Ruling:
1. It is wrong for Dela Merced & Sons to insist that a trial-type proceeding is necessary.
Administrative due process cannot be fully equated with due process in its strict judicial sense.

In the former, a formal or trial-type hearing is not always necessary, and technical rules of
procedure are not strictly applied
2. Based on the law, environmentally non-critical projects such as the Guadalupe Commercial
Complex are still expected to provide additional environmental safeguards as deemed
necessary. Hence, Dela Merced & Sons is still bound to abide by environmental laws such as

the Clean Water Act, even if it possesses a CNC. As held in Leynes v. People,49 an entity is not
exempted from compliance with applicable environmental laws, rules, and regulations despite
the issuance of a CNC in its name

Where do we report oil spill incidents?

1. Report all oil spill incidents DENR EMB
2. Report all oil spill incidents to the DOE Secretary c/o Environmental Protection and Monitoring
Division (EPMD)

DOE Department Circular No. 98-02-003

Establishments covered by this requirement
• Oil Rigs or Platform • Oil Tankers
• Power Plants • Oil Refineries
• Power Barges

Actions in Case of an Incident
1. Preparation of the incident report
2. Investigation of the incident
3. Formulate effectcive measures and corrective actions

Root Cause Analysis
➢ The process of finding and correcting an underlying problem
➢ A deeper investigation of all potential causes of an incident.
Basic Steps of Root Cause Analysis

1. Define the problem

2. Collect data
3. Identify Possible Causes
4. Identify Root Cause
5. Fix the Problem

ϭϵϮ


Types of Causes:

1. Root Cause – “the one step in sequence of events that if removed” the accident would not
have occured.
2. Contributing Causes – other concerns that must have also addressed.
Samples of Root Cause Analysis Techniques

• Five Why’s

• Systematic Cause Analysis Technique
• Tap Root Cause Analysis
The “5 WHYs” Analysis

Benefits:
• Investigate the cause of an accident or incident.
• Identify solutions to prevent an incident happening again;
• Make links between the root causes of good or bad practice; and
• Learn good practice lessons to improve health and safety in your business

Root Cause Analysis Techniques

Example: Non‐conformance where a drum containing hazardous waste is not labeled.

1st WHY? Why was the drum not labeled?
Response: We ran out of the labels.
2nd Why? Why did we run out of labels?

Response: The employee who used the last label didn’t inform the inventory manager because he didn’t

know the regulatory requirements.
3rd Why? Why the employee did not know the regulatory requirements?
Response: He was not trained on the waste handling work instructions.

4th Why? Why training was not provided to the employee?
Response: The employee was on vacation when the manager provided training on work instructions.
5th Why? Why the employee was not trained when he got back from vacation?

Response: Due to lack of tracking of employee training.
If we stop at the first why, the immediate problem (no labels) may get fixed, but the systemic
problem in the training program may not be uncovered.

WHY MANAGE OUR ENVIRONMENT?

Because…
• What we do matters to our STAKEHOLDERS.

• We are part of our company, thus what we do matters to our company
❑ The resources that we are using will be depleted, if managed, it will be sustained
❑ Changes in the environment affect us; if managed, it will benefit us.
❑ If past generations did not make some arrangements for us, we would be dead right now!
❑ The only reason is to ensure a better future for yourself and your children (best!)

What is Environmental Management?
Environmental management is not, as the phrase could suggest, the management of the environment as
such, but rather the management of interaction by the modern human societies with, and impact upon
the environment. Source: Wikipedia

Why Plan?
“If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail!” - Benjamin Franklin
Environmental Management Plan/Program (EMP)

is prepared to achieve the environmental objectives and targets of a project or undertaking.

It includes the designation of responsibility for achieving objectives and targets and the means and
time-frame by which they are to be achieved. Details the prevention, mitigation, compensation,
contingency and monitoring measures to enhance positive impacts and minimize negative impacts of a
project or undertaking -Reference: DAO 2000-81, Definition of Terms

What is the Essence of an Environmental Management Plan?
✓ EMP is your framework/ guide/ tool as Pollution CONTROL Officer

• Not to become Pollution Causing Officer
If you already have an EMP, is there a need to update the EMP? –YES

What is the compliance mandate of preparing an updated EMP?
COMPLIANCE to DAO 2003-30: As provided in the Procedural Manual (August, 2007)
2.3 Monitoring, Validation and Evaluation/Audit Procedures

18) b) Project compliance with the Environmental Management Plan (EMP);
d) Continual updating of the EMP for sustained responsiveness to project operations and
project impacts.

WE can update the EMP

What are other reasons to prepare Environmental Management Plan?
• EMP is our assurance to the regulatory agencies-
DENR, EMB; the LGUs, NGOs and communities that project impacts, hazards and risks
throughout the project cycle are being / will be managed

• The outcome will minimize the risk of costly, time-consuming environmental issues, while
maximizing productivity, bottom-line performance and goodwill.
COMPONENTS OF AN EMP (DENR DAO 03-30 Procedural Manual)

• Impact Avoidance/Mitigation Plan • Emergency Response and Contingency

• Monitoring Plan Plans
• IEC and Training Plan • Social Development Program (for large
scale project)

Is it difficult to prepare an EMP? - of course NOT!
How to Prepare Own EMP?

• List all Project Activities by Phase

• Identify what are the environmental aspects of the Company’s activities
• Identify what are the possible impacts of these activities to the environment’s biophysical
(land, air, water, plants, animals) & social aspects (employees, communities, civil societies, etc.)
• For each impact, list what can be done to avoid, minimize, off-set, compensate each impact.
There can be more than 1 for each impact

• For each mitigation,
o Identify who has the responsibility/ies
o When it should be done,
o How much will it cost/ return,
o What is the assurance/guarantee that mitigation will be done?

What is Mitigation?
• Structural and non-structural measures undertaken to limit the adverse impact of hazards,
environmental degradation and technological hazards.

www.unisdr.org/eng/library/lib-terminology-eng%20home.htm
• Actions taken to improve site conditions by limiting, reducing or controlling hazards and
contamination sources.
www.sbcfire.org/hazmat/env_terms.asp
• Working to lessen risk by lowering its chances of occurring or by reducing its effect if it does

occur.
oit.osu.edu/projmanage/glossary.html
Possible Mitigation Measures Generally Include:
Changing project sites, routes, processes, raw materials, operating methods, disposal sites,

•
phasing of project activities, or engineering designs,
• Introducing pollution controls, waste treatment, monitoring, landscaping, personnel training,
special social services, or public education

The data collected and related expenses from the various sampling and measurement events done under
the Environmental Monitoring Plan (EMoP) or a Sampling and Measurement Plan (SAMP) for the current

monitoring period shall be summarized in a tabular form, preferably using the prescribed format in Tables
2 and 3 below, and discussed under this section. Only processed and summarized data must be
presented here.
The current monitoring results must be related to the historical trend for each parameter. Any deviation
from this trend must be explained. More, importantly, the discussion must focus on point-by-point

comparison of the gathered values with Environmental Quality Performance Levels (EQPLs), if EQPLs
have been committed by the Proponent or established with the Multi-partite Monitoring Team. The
monitoring results could also be used to determine the action and limit levels for the specific project.
These should all be presented here in detail and summarized in the conclusions and recommendations
section.
Compliances, non-compliances and exceedances must all be thoroughly explained. In cases of

compliances, success factors must be cited. For non-compliances and exceedances, the proponent’s
response should be explained. Moreover, causative factors must be identified and additional solutions
and mitigation measures proposed, if needed.
It should also cite the weather conditions and other factors which may affect the results of the sampling
activities.

IV. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This section should present the conclusions and recommendations of the current SMR based on the
results and discussion of the previous sections. It should also explain if the previous monitoring
recommendations should continue (if implemented). On the other hand, if warranted, the
recommendation may be the cessation of specific or all monitoring activities.

The conclusions and recommendations should preferably be in a bulleted format and as much as possible
grouped according to coherent themes, such as the following headings.
A. Compliance Status
Only the key conclusions about the status of compliance to ECC and EMP are included in this

section. The status of non-compliances should be particularly tracked throughout all SMRs even if
compliance has been already attained. Recommended additional measures or amendments to the
EMP should be presented here.
B. Environmental Quality Status (applicable only if EQPLs have been set by the Proponent as its commitment
or if opted to be mutually agreed upon by Proponent with the EMB and other members of the MMT)

Only the key conclusions on meeting the set EQPLs are included in this section.
C. Environmental Management Plan Status
Only the key conclusions about the status of EMP implementation and recommended additional
measures or amendments should be presented here.

D. ENVIRONMENTAL RISK CATEGORIZATION
The proponent should fill-up or update the project’s environmental risk categorization questionnaire
(presented in Annex 2-7d of the Revised Procedural Manual of DAO 2003-30) – applicable on the
Second Semi-annual ECC Compliance Monitoring Report.

E. WORK PLAN FOR NEXT MONITORING PERIOD
The specific actions for the next monitoring period, including carry-overs from previous monitoring
periods, should be detailed in this section.
