(“NSCR-EX”) PROJECT

A. Background

1. The Government of the Philippines (“GoP”) has requested Japan International Cooperation
Agency (“JICA”) and the Asian Development Bank (“ADB”) for assistance in the development
and implementation of the 109-kilometer North-South Commuter Railway Extension (“NSCR-
EX,” hereinafter the “Project”), which extends north and south of the first phase of the North-
South Commuter Railway System (hereinafter the “NSCR Phase 1” which will run from
Tutuban, Manila to Malolos, Bulacan). Aside from the provision of an improved and efficient
access to international airports, the completion of the Project is expected to contribute to the
sustainable development of the National Capital Region and of the fast-growing urban areas
in Region 3 and 4-A.

2. The north extension of the Project, the NSCR - Clark Extension (also known as the Malolos-
Clark Railway Project, hereinafter the “MCRP”), spans 51 kilometers, beginning from Malolos,
Bulacan to Clark International Airport, Pampanga (49 kilometers to run on a viaduct, 2
kilometers underground). The MCRP has a total of six (6) stations and one (1) 33-hectare
depot.

3. The south extension of the Project, the NSCR - Calamba Extension (also known as the
South Commuter Railway Project, hereinafter the “SCRP”), on the other hand, stretches to a
total length of 64.2 kilometers. The said length comprises of the 58.6-kilometer long
aboveground tracks from Solis Station of the NSCR Phase 1, Manila to Calamba, Laguna and
the 5.6-kilometer segment connecting the Senate Station of the Metro Manila Subway Project
(“MMSP”) to the FTI and Bicutan Stations of the SCRP (4.8-kilometers underground between
Senate Station of the MMSP and FTI Station of the SCRP, 0.8-kilometers aboveground
between FTI and Bicutan Stations of the SCRP). The SCRP has a total of nineteen (19)
stations and one (1) 22-hectare depot.

4. The Project will be assisted by a grant from JICA and will be co-financed by the ADB. ADB
will finance the main civil works, while JICA will finance electromechanical and rolling stock
systems1.

and the extent to which RAP objectives are being achieved and (ii) to assess the
implementation of the EMP and the EMoP, the environmental contractual obligations, and the
impacts of the EMP and the EMoP implementation and the extents to which environmental
management objectives are being achieved.

7. Monitoring and evaluation measures are designed (i) to ensure the resettlement plan
complies with the ADB Safeguard Policy Statement (“SPS”) concerning involuntary
resettlement and (ii) to ensure the implementation of the EMP and the EMoP complies with
the ADB SPS concerning environment and health and safety.

DOTr requires a qualified and experienced EMA to:

a) Under RAP Implementation

(i) Provide external monitoring of the RAP implementation,

(ii) Assess or evaluate how effectively project and resettlement objectives are
being met

D. Methodology

1. The methods for external RAP monitoring activities include, but not limited to, the following:

a) Review of the RAP prepared during the Detailed Design (“DD”) phase;

b) Review of the detailed measurement survey (“DMS”) documents to establish a

baseline for monitoring and evaluating project benefits. The EMA will check on a
random basis the DMS process with PAPs from identification to agreement on DMS
results. All survey data shall be disaggregated by gender;

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

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

d) Conduct of Participatory Rapid Appraisals (“PRA”). The PRA will involve obtaining
information, identifying existing or potential problems, and finding specific time-bound
solutions through participatory means including (i) consultations with PAPs and various
stakeholders such as a resettlement committee, the PMO, and community leaders, (ii)
key informant interviews, (iii) focus group discussions, and (iv) community public
meetings;

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

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

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

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

3
SES was carried out by JICA Design Team (“JDT”) in parallel with DMS during RAP updating.
 g) Document lessons learned in using international best practices for replacement cost
valuation as stipulated in the project principles and implementation experiences of
DOTr;

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

i) Review of the effectiveness of the GRM and the status of grievance resolution. This
will include interviews with PMO and organizations responsible for GRM
implementation, review GRM documentation, and gathering information from
interviews with PAPs on accessibility and effectiveness of the GRM 4;

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

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

k) Conduct of resettlement audit during monitoring. The EMA will carry out random
checks of payment disbursed to PAPs during monitoring. The EMA will submit the
Resettlement Audit Report (“RAR”) upon completion of compensation payment to
PAPs.

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

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

b) Familiarize with the project requirements and the scope of work of the Project’s GC
and contractors;

c) Conduct site visits and interviews with the Project stakeholders including but not
necessarily limited to local officials, relevant NGOs, residents along identified sensitive
receptors, and other stakeholders identified in the EIS;

d) Verify the information included in the SEMR and CMR submitted by the DOTr to ADB
and JICA and to EMB-CO;

e) Determine if the EMP and the EMoP provisions in the contractors’ contracts are being
implemented properly and prepare an action plan to address identified issues;

f) Recommend corrective actions to address the gaps in the EMP implementation;

4
The EMA is not expected to purposely target interview cases undergoing the GRM process from information obtained through
review of GRM documentation unless specifically requested by DOTr.
 g) Prepare and submit the EMR to the DOTr, ADB, JICA, and EMB-CO on a semi-annual
basis (i.e. upon availability of each internal semi-annual monitoring report) throughout
the construction phase and during the first year of project operation.

2. OBJECTIVES AND SCOPE

2.1. OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN

3. As part of the compliance to ECC conditions for the NSCR Clark Extension Project, DOTr is
required to “submit detailed waste management program (WMP) for proper handling, collection and
disposal of solid, hazardous and liquid wastes to EMB Central Office (CO) and EMB Region III within
six (6) months prior to project construction. Proof of implementation shall be submitted together with
the CMR.”1.

4. The Proponent has prepared this Project Waste Management Plan as a basis for the detailed
WMP to be developed by the Contractors as part of the Contractors Environmental Management and
Monitoring Plan (CEMMP).. Similar plans would be required for the site clearance activities (Pre-
Construction) and the railway operation (Operations).

5. The purpose of this Project Waste Management Plan (WMP) is thus to ensure that waste
generated in the pre-construction, construction and operational phases of the project is managed and
disposed of legally and in a way that protects both public health and the environment. The objective of
this Project WMP is to:

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

• Estimate the volume of waste generated;
• Determine the capacity of LGUs and local waste streams for disposal;
• Identify alternative options for disposal if estimated volumes exceed local waste stream capability;

1
ECC Condition No.3, Annex A of the ECC issued to DOTr for the Malolos-Clark Railway Project (MCRP),
2018. CMR stands for “Compliance Monitoring Report”.

Page 2
 Waste Management Plan
North-South Commuter Railway Clark Extension Project

• Outline the management controls that will be implemented to ensure waste is disposed of
according to this WMP and evidence to be submitted with the CMR;
• Outline required legal compliances; and
• Provide guidance on how to minimize, handle, control, re-use, recycle and dispose of all waste
generated all throughout project implementation.

2.2. SCOPE

6. This Project WMP is intended to form the foundation and strategy for the more detailed Waste
Management Plans to be developed by the responsible parties for the three separate phases of the project:
(1) Pre-construction; (2) Construction; and (3) Operation.

7. The pre-construction site clearance operation will be commissioned and managed by DOTr,
the proponent or their appointed agents the General Consultants. A site clearance contractor and tree
cutting contractor will be appointed. Both of them will be required to complete a WMP to specify the
ultimate disposal of the materials they remove from site.

8. Construction of the North-South Commuter Railway Clark Extension Project will be divided
in six contracts. Each contractor will be required to produce a separate Site WMP that integrates the
requirements of this Project WMP with details of their own specific plans. All Contractors’ Site WMP
will be submitted to the Proponent’s Engineer (General Consultants) for approval as part of the
CEMMP.

9. The contractors have been given a number of choices in the contract documents that will affect
the details of their WMP such as whether or not to build a concrete batching plant or to sub-contract to
existing concrete suppliers. They are also given the choice of utilizing Contractor’s Yard Sites identified
by the design team or to identify their own. Furthermore, sites for spreading spoil have been suggested
in the bidding documents but the contractor is free to find his own disposal solutions. Notwithstanding
these uncertainties, the requirements of the Contractor WMP will remain the same.

10. The Operation of the railway will be put out to tender at a later date. The operation of the
railway includes operating trains, stations and the maintenance and stabling depot.

11. The main waste generating activities at each stage and the parties responsible for the WMP
are summarized in Table 2.2.1.

Exclusions

12. Waste generators not included in the scope of the Project WMP are electricity infrastructure
changes (new connections by power supply companies) which will be covered under existing
obligations of the electricity suppliers.

2.3. APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY

Approach to waste minimization

Waste management on the project will be guided by the widely accepted waste hierarchy illustrated
below in Figure 2.3.1.

Page 4
 Waste Management Plan
North-South Commuter Railway Clark Extension Project

Avoidance

Reduction (minimization)

Reuse

Recycling

Treatment

Disposal

Source: National Solid Waste Management Commission

13. The inverted triangle represents the relative volumes of waste at each stage with the aim being
to avoid most waste by design and only have to dispose of a small amount. A brief summary of the
meaning of each stage of the hierarchy is as follows:

• Avoidance: Where possible the contractor will choose processes and maintain work procedures
that avoid the generation of waste.
• Reduction: The contractor will reduce the generation of unnecessary waste by considering in its
planning and purchasing decisions the final disposal of waste generated.
• Reuse: The contractor will always consider reusing materials before disposal.
• Recycling: The contractor will ensure the separation of waste materials in order to maximize
recycling.
• Treatment: The contractor will reduce the need for treatment by avoiding toxic products or will
segregate and ensure specialist treatment to recover material if possible. The contractor will treat
wastes such as liquid wastes before discharge to the environment.
• Disposal: The final and least desirable option is disposal into a sanitary landfill site for burial.

Methodology

14. Relevant national laws were reviewed and summarized. The responsibilities under the laws of
the Philippines have been outlined.

15. Analysis of the stages and activities of the project has been made and a list of predicted wastes
has been determined. For major waste streams a prediction of the volume of waste generation has been
made in consultation with the JICA Design Team.

16. The 10-year Solid Waste Management Plans (SWMP) in each of the 10 municipalities/cities
through which the rail alignment passes, were reviewed and the LGU’s consulted as to the waste
processing services available locally. Specialized waste processors for toxic and hazardous waste that
serve the provinces of Bulacan, Pampanga and Tarlac were identified from DENR-EMB accredited lists.

3. REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
3.1. RELATIONSHIP TO ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT

17. The project received approval of the submitted Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) on
13th August 2018 and the project was issued with an Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC). As
stated in Section 2.1 above, this Project WMP is to fulfill Condition 3 of the ECC.

3.2. NATIONAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS

Laws and Regulations Pertaining to Waste Management

18. The applicable laws, rules and regulations affecting waste management in the Project as a
whole, and particularly disposal, consist of the following:

• Republic Act (RA) 9275 or the Clean Water Act, and its Implementing Rules and Regulations,
DENR Administrative Order (DAO) 2016-08;
• Republic Act (RA) 9003 or the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000 and its
Implementing Rules and Regulations, DAO 2001-34;
• Republic Act 6969 or the Toxic Substances, Hazardous and Nuclear Wastes Control Act of 1990
and its Implementing Rules and Regulations, DAO 2013-22, DAO 2000-02, EMB Memorandum
Circular (MC) 2017-0003 and EMB MC 2017-004
• DAO 2019-17: Chemical Control Order for Arsenic and Arsenic Compounds
• DAO 2014-02: Revised guidelines for Pollution Control Officer Accreditation
• DAO 2013-24: Chemical Control Order for Lead and Lead Compounds
• DAO 2004-01: Chemical Control Order (CCO) for Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs)
• DAO 2000-02: Chemical Control Order (CCO) on Asbestos
• DAO 1997-39: Chemical Control Order for Cyanide and Cyanide Compounds
• DAO 1997-38: Chemical Control Order for Mercury and Mercury Compounds
• MC 2008-008 - Effluent Quality Monitoring Manual

DENR Administrative Order (DAO) 2016-08: Water Quality Guidelines and

General Effluent Standard and related standards

19. One of the objectives of DAO 2016-08 is to control the quality of waste water that is
discharged to a watercourse. The allowable levels of pollutants depend on the classification of the
receiving waterway. DENR has classified waterways into five classes, with AA being the highest quality
and D the lowest. Table 3.2.1 reproduces Table 1 of the DAO 2016-08 and explains the five quality
levels. As noted in this table EMB should be consulted for water body classification and will determine
the beneficial use for previously unclassified rivers2.

20. Discharges form any point source shall at all times meet the general effluent standards in Table
3 ‘Water Quality Guidelines for Primary Parameters’ in DAO 2016-08 reproduced in Table 3.2.2
below. In addition, Table 8 ‘Significant Effluent Quality Parameters per sector’ in DAO 2016-08 lists
the industry specific parameters [organized by Philippine Standard Industrial Code (PSIC)] that must
be monitored. Extracts from Table 8 of the DAO are reproduced below in Table 3.2.3. In cases where
the discharging activity does not fall into one of the identified sectors the EMB should be consulted for
a decision.

 Waste Management Plan
North-South Commuter Railway Clark Extension Project

21. A discharge to a watercourse requires a permit. The Permitting process is outlined in DAO-
2004-25. In practice the discharger is required to monitor the significant pollutants produced in the
discharge and these form the basis of the monitoring plan. The contractor should seek approval of EMB
for any exemptions.

22. An Effluent Quality Monitoring Plan must be produced in accordance with the EMB
Memorandum Circular 2008-008 (Effluent Quality Monitoring Manual). Self-Monitoring Plan
requirements are outlined in DAO 2003-27. After agreeing the monitoring plan with EMB and being
awarded the permit, the Contractor must record his inspection sampling and submit a self-monitoring
report to EMB every quarter.

RA 9003: Ecological Solid Waste Management

23. RA 9003 created the institutional mechanisms and incentives for the implementation of an
ecological solid waste management program at the LGU level. The implementing rules are contained in
DAO No. 2001-34.

24. Under the Act, DENR is responsible for setting up and heading the National Solid Waste
Management Commission (SWMC) and serves as the coordinating body to develop and implement the
National Solid Waste Management Framework.

25. The local government unit (LGU) is responsible for setting up a Solid Waste Management
Board (SWMB) and is required by the Act to formulate a 10-year local Ecological Solid Waste
Management Plans instituting an effective and sustainable solid waste management plan with primary
emphasis on implementation of all feasible re-use, recycling and composting programs. Residual and
special waste is required to go to a sanitary landfill site.

26. In practice, many LGU’s have struggled to fully implement the Act and Engineered landfills
have only been built in a few areas. Most LGU have a Material Recycling Facility (MRF) at the
Barangay level where mixed waste is sorted into waste streams.

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

• Compostable;
• Recyclable;
• Residual/non-recyclable; and

Page 8
 Waste Management Plan
North-South Commuter Railway Clark Extension Project

• Special wastes.

Special wastes include bulky wastes (items too large to be disposed in normal channels), hazardous
wastes, including waste electrical, electronic equipment (WEEE). Examples are shown in Figure 3.2.1.

Figure 3.2.1 Classification of Solid Wastes based on RA 9003

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

29. Sanitary landfill sites are categorized into four types dependent on the capacity amongst other
technical specifications as shown in Table 3.2.4..

LGU Solid Waste Management Plans

30. Each of the cities and municipalities along the railway alignment has submitted a 10-Year
SWMP to the National Solid Waste Management Commission (NSWMC). The purpose of the plan is
to detail how the LGU will collect and dispose of waste.

31. LGU SWMP vary somewhat from one locality to another, however most barangays or
groupings of barangays have implemented a MRF that sorts domestic and commercial waste into the
compostable, recyclable and residual wastes. Recyclable items such as cardboard and plastics and
reusable items are sometime sent through the junk shop system. The junk shop system shred or batch
materials and prepare for resale into the raw material market or repair or reuse items for resale. Few if
any barangays have an effective composting system so compostable waste may end up in landfill.

32. Domestic and Commercial (office and business) waste collection is carried out by private
waste operators or by the LGU in-house operation. These waste transporters arrange waste separation
and recycling and transport residual waste to the nearest sanitary landfill, which may be in neighboring
provinces.

33. As a result of the implementation of RA 9003 MRFs are established for each Barangay or
cluster of Barangays. The intended purpose of the MRF is to receive mixed waste for final sorting,
segregation, composting, and recycling.

34. Residual wastes in Region 3 are usually disposed at the Metro Clark Waste Management Corp.
Sanitary Landfill, located in Capas, Tarlac. The Clark Landfill also has a Treatment, Storage and
Disposal (TSD) Facilities for Toxic and Hazardous Waste (THW) but various other companies treat or
recycle hazardous and toxic wastes.

35. The older municipal open dump sites may still exist, but these are either closed or being closed
and rehabilitated. Under the RA 9003, disposing waste in these types of landfills is prohibited.

36.

37. Table 3.2.5 below outlines the waste stream facilities available or used by LGU to meet the
requirements of the Solid Waste Management Plan and Figure 3.2.2 shows the location of major MRF,
Sanitary Landfill sites and closed Open Dump Sites (ODS).

38. The Contractor will need to engage private or LGU waste contractor for collection and disposal
of the onsite domestic and commercial waste streams and an up-to-date list of accredited private waste
operators are available from the city or municipality Environment and Natural Resources Offices
(ENRO).

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

47. RA 6969 is an act to control toxic substances and hazardous and nuclear wastes, providing
penalties for violations thereof, and for other purposes.

48. DAO 2013-22 Revised Procedures and Standards for the management of Hazardous Wastes,
contains the revised procedures and standards for the implementation of RA 6969. It contains the
updated classification of THW, and outlines the requirements for Waste Generators and Waste
Transporters.

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

• The waste generator is determined to be large, medium or small depending on the amount of THW
produced. The waste generator must meet the requirements set out in Table 3.2 of DAO 2013-22.
• All hazardous wastes are classified by codes and must be identified before entering the waste stream
as set out in Table 2.1 of DAO 2013-22.
• THW transporters are registered and licensed to carry certain waste only.
• THW must be disposed of at a registered THW landfill sites or treater and a hazardous waste
manifest system must be used to identify waste transported.
• A trained Pollution Control Officer (PCO) should have responsibility for THW.
• THW should not be mixed and should be segregated and managed according to compatibility.
• Building demolition waste is not classified as THW unless it contains asbestos.
• The following are also not classified as THW: Septic tank effluents, spoils from quarrying and
excavation, wastewaters disposed on site through the sewage system as set out in Table 2.2 of DAO
2013-22.
• All hazardous waste containers or drums should be labelled (for storage purposes) as per DAO 2013-
22 requirements, using the template shown in Figure 3.2.3. Figure 3.2.3 Hazardous Waste Label

50. The latest list of DENR-EMB accredited HW transporters and TSD facilities, as of December
31, 2018, is found in APPENDIX A, while the list of accredited residual waste transporters and sanitary
landfills in Region 3 is found in APPENDIX B.

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

51. DAO 2000-02 is meant to control and regulate the use and disposal of asbestos into the
environment to avoid the adverse health consequences of exposure to asbestos.

52. Asbestos is most likely to be found in building materials where it has been used in mostly in
building materials (roofing shingles, ceiling and floor tiles, paper products, and asbestos cement
products).

53. DAO 2000-02 Section 9 (6) sets out the requirements for the removal of asbestos during
demolition. If asbestos is present it will be necessary to have removal carried out by companies licensed
by DENR and following the requirement in the Control Order.

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

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

55. The need to follow PCBs disposal requirements may result from discovery of illegal or
improper dumping of waste that contained PCBs, such as transformer fluids or leaks (fugitive emissions)
from electrical transformers and capacitors containing PCBs that are removed as part of the project.

3.2.9 MC 2008-008 - Effluent Quality Monitoring Manual

56. The MC 2008-008 provides water quality monitoring manual in order to establish the uniform
quality control assurance on a nation-wide ambient water and effluent quality monitoring

3.3. IMPLICATIONS FOR WASTE MANAGEMENT PLANS

57. During the three phases of the project (Site Clearance, Construction and Operation) the
proponent and contractors/ operator must in particular:

• Make a check for asbestos or any other material subject to Chemical Control orders and make
separate plans for extraction and disposal using licensed companies;
• Empty any septic tanks in areas for demolitions and dispose of liquids to licensed waste water
treatment works;
• Ensure that the Solid Waste disposal operators are accredited by DENR and the LGU in which
they operate and separate ‘special wastes’ from the other types and if necessary separate the other
types into compostable, recyclable and residual (landfill) waste before collection;
• Ensure that Hazardous and Toxic Waste generated by construction and operations is separated and
stored appropriately and according to the regulations;
• Ensure that before transport of Hazardous and Toxic Waste to licensed waste facilities the waste is
labeled according to the manifest system and is only transported by licensed hazardous waste
transporters;
• Before any discharge to the local water drainage system, waste water is treated to meet appropriate
standards for the effluent and class of watercourse; and
• Monitor waste water discharges and submit monitoring reports to EMB quarterly.

4. WASTE STREAMS
4.1. INTRODUCTION

58. In this section the various types of waste the project will produce are identified and waste
volumes are predicted. If waste disposal volumes may overwhelm local disposal this is noted.

4.2. PRE-CONSTRUCTION

Tree Clearance and disposal

59. All trees within the project ROW will be removed. Trees will be cleared after obtaining the
Tree Cutting Permit from the DENR. The proponent will employ a contractor to cut down the trees and
dispose of them.

60. The tree survey has been completed in preparation for the application for tree cutting permit.
Tree inventory and re-survey3 results are shown in Table 4.2.1. Under the requirements of the Philippine
Regulations (DAO-16-2018) trees on Public lands over 15cm Diameter at Breast Height (DBH) should
be delivered to DENR for use in timber projects. In practice, the marketable trees will need to be
auctioned off to the timber trade and may end up in furniture, wood crafts, charcoal or as fuel. DENR
should be consulted as to procedures to dispose of the trees. The number of trees has the potential to
overwhelm DENR’s disposal process.

61. Trees less than 15cm DBH will require disposal either through the cutting contractor or by a
specification by the proponent. Allowing the contractor to dispose for profit should reduce the bid price
for the work. It is likely that a proportion of the wood will find a market for fuel or charcoal. Wood and
brash that the contractor cannot use may be chipped or transported for composting or industrial fuel. As
the chippings or brash cannot be left on site the contractor will have to transport elsewhere.

Re-survey was due to the adjustment and modification of the alignment and the disparity between the
Computer-Aided-Design (CAD) and the kmz/kml files that has been observed and to determine the number of
additional affected trees within the project ROW.

Page 17
 Waste Management Plan
North-South Commuter Railway Clark Extension Project

62. The proponent will coordinate with the DENR Region 3 Office on turning over of timber and
update the Waste Management Plan at the pre-construction stage.

63. After discussion with contractors about feasibility the tree clearance specifications will ensure
the waste wood and brash is chipped and disposed to composting or other reuse rather than land fill.

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

64. Houses built on the PNR ROW and houses and building outside the PNR that are purchased
under eminent domain in order to expand the ROW will be demolished. The exact number of houses
and buildings and their size has not been confirmed yet.

65. Some of the buildings are expected to contain septic tanks. These will be emptied before tanks
are removed and the pits filled in.

Clearance of ISF Housing

66. ISFs will be given the opportunity to retrieve construction materials from their own property,
but it is envisaged that the site will need to be cleared of a lot of outstanding materials. A clearance
contractor will be employed to demolish and remove any structures remaining on site and various other
dumped materials. To ensure the clearance contractor disposes of the rubble in the correct way the
proposed final disposal site will be submitted to the proponent for approval and the waste receipts
audited.

67. An estimate was made based on the structures recorded by the Resettlement Action Plan
(RAP) team. In total of approximately 2,400 structures were found on the project section. A typical
structure is a 4 m x 4 m x 2m high built with 2/3 with 8mm plywood timber and 1/3 with 100mm
concrete blocks on a concrete base 4 m x 4 m x 100mm. This amounts to 0.96m3 concrete blocks and
1.6m3 concrete base and 0.172m3 timber per structure. On top of this we assumed 16m2 of canvas
sheeting per structures. It is assumed the timber and sheeting will be recovered by owners leaving 2,304
m3 of concrete blocks and 3,840 m3 of concrete bases to be removed.

Residual waste on the ROW

68. It is expected that some general refuse will be left on site by ISFs in properties but also
informal waste dumps. This will also be cleared by the clearance contractor and disposed of at the nearest
landfill site.

69. If each dwelling left one 40L bag of domestic waste there will be 239m3 (2400 dwellings x
0.04m3) of domestic waste to dispose of. There may also be general refuse and surface dumping areas.
To ensure the clearance contractor disposes of the refuse in the correct way the final disposal site will
be submitted to the Engineer for approval and the waste receipts audited.

Hazardous Waste on the ROW

70. Initial inspection by RAP team suggests that there is little asbestos on site. Asbestos is most
likely to be in the form of previously salvaged asbestos concrete sheeting if present. However, in order
to deal with the risk of asbestos being present in some ISF dwellings. DOTr should arrange to carry out
an initial inspection by a qualified person. If asbestos is found a contractor registered for asbestos
clearance will be employed to remove the material safely and dispose at a licensed THW landfill
according to the requirements of DAO 2000-02.

71. There may be some other residual hazardous waste such as batteries, bulbs, oil, chemicals on
site. This will not be known until the site is assessed. To ensure this is properly disposed of the clearance
contractor will be asked make a hazardous material inspection in advance of general demolition to
separate hazardous material and dispose separately.

Page 18
 Waste Management Plan
North-South Commuter Railway Clark Extension Project

72. The contract with the clearance contractor will have suitable contingency for asbestos
discovery and disposal in advance of any other demolition work. To ensure the clearance contractor
disposes of the hazardous waste in the correct way the final disposal site will be submitted to the
Engineer for approval and the waste receipts audited.

Summary of Pre-Construction Waste Streams and Process

73. The size of the project and the number of ISFs who are living on the Project ROW means that
there is substantial amount of waste to remove from the project ROW before construction can
commence.

74. At least two specialist contractors will be required. The tree cutting contractor and the
demolition and clearance contractor. It may also be necessary to use a specialist asbestos removal
contractor if asbestos is found.

75. A waste management plan will be prepared by the proponent or contractor for the pre-
construction phase and submitted to EMB for approval. This can only be completed once the contractor
is appointed and final details of the disposal methods are clear.

76. The proper disposal of the waste will be ensured by implementing the following specification
into the clearance contractor’s work requirements.

• Tree Cutting:

 Agreeing a procedure and delivery schedule for the delivery of marketable timber to DENR
Region 3 Yard or other disposal option.
 Determining a plan for the disposal of small wood / brash material with the contractor and
identifying the disposal route.

• ISF Dwelling and other Building Demolition:

 Incorporate a specification for inspection and removal of asbestos if found before general
demolition and auditing the disposal manifest system.
 Survey for and incorporate a specification for the emptying of septic tanks both formal
(purchased properties) and informal settler’s latrines.
 Determine the contractor’s proposed waste stream (landfill, re-use, crush etc) and waste manifest
system that can be implemented.
 Attempt to recycle concrete, concrete blocks and other suitable building materials by crushing
to recycled aggregate.

4.3. CONSTRUCTION

Contracts

78. Seven contractors are expected to build the railway, wherein four will work on construction,
one on the depot, one on Electric and Mechanical (E&M) and one on the Rolling Stock. Rolling Stock
is not expected to generate any particular waste issues.

Grubbing Operation

79. The contractor is required to carry out the grubbing of the remaining roots and the removal of
the top 150mm of soil in preparation for construction. This soil is likely to be mixed with various bits
of rubble, tree roots and plants. This type of soil may not all be suitable for land raising for building
projects but may have use on land fill sites for cell creation, covering or filling quarried areas.

80. Across the whole route Malolos to CIA (51.9km x 30m x 0.15m plus additional amounts for
60m width stations) amounts to 241,500m3 of spoil. Table 4.3.1Table 4.3.1 shows the predicted
grubbing spoil volume itemized per contract package.

Page 20
 Waste Management Plan
North-South Commuter Railway Clark Extension Project

81. The volumes calculated represent about 67 10-cu.m trucks per day if the work is carried out
in 3 months as planned.

TOTAL 241,500
Source: JICA Design Team

82. The spoil will enter the market for spoil spreading in the local areas. This market for spoil
spreading will only become clear close to the time of the operation. Several areas have already been
identified as suitable for spoil spreading by the JICA Design Team. Since this has been confirmed with
land owners the capacity required is assured, however but the chosen contractors will make their own
choice based on the cost and benefits of what is available in the market at the time.

Excavations Waste (Spoil)

83. Construction of each pier involves the excavation of multiple piles and pile caps at each pier
location at a usual spacing of 40m along the ROW. Further excavations are required for drainage, roads
and the additional piles required at stations and for all the buildings at the depot.

84. From geological investigations it is known that this spoil is either silts or sands. This type of
soil will be suitable for land raising for building projects and may have value as aggregates.

85. The total amount of spoil that will be removed for the project has been calculated by the design
team as 1,705,545m3. Table 4.3.2Table 4.3.2 shows the predicted amounts of spoil produced.

86. As above, the spoil will enter the market for spoil spreading in the local areas. This market for
spoil spreading will only become clear close to the time of the operation. Several areas have already
been identified as suitable for spoil spreading by the JICA Design Team. Since this has been confirmed
with land owners the capacity required is assured, however but the chosen contractors will make their
own choice based on the cost and benefits of what is available in the market at the time. Spoil may also
have a use in backfilling borrow pits used to raise levels at the depot or other quarry sites.

Solid Waste

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

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

• Waste Concrete: Waste from concrete pours
• Timber: Occasional Formwork, temporary structures.

88. Domestic and Commercial waste includes all the office waste and waste from accommodation
blocks. This waste is suitable for collection by the local solid waste disposal services. In order to
integrate with Local Solid Waste Management Plans of the LGU in which the Contractor is operating
the waste might be segregated by the Contractor into the waste streams of (1) compostable, (2)
recyclable and (3) residual and (4) Special Wastes. However, as most LGUs have opted to separate
waste at the MRF sites this may not be necessary. All hazardous and toxic waste however must be
separated as outlined below in Section 4.3.6.

89. Complete waste disposal to controlled dumpsites or sanitary landfills is not fully functional in
Metro Manila and illegal open dumping is still carried out. For this project the contractor must ensure
that its waste disposal arrangements meet the requirements of the RA 9003 and the Waste Management
Plan of the LGU in which they operate.

90. Senate Document AG-17-01 “Philippine Solid Waste at a glance”4 states that National Capital
Region generates 0.768kg of municipal waste per person per day. This is predicted to rise to 0.9kg per
day by 2025 using World Bank data (contained in WB What a Waste 2.0) 5 . Figures given for an
international level, show the largest waste category is food and green waste, making up 44 percent of
global waste. Dry recyclables (plastic, paper and cardboard, metal, and glass) amount to another 38
percent of waste. Eighty-two percent of waste is therefore potentially recyclable. Using the estimated
figure for 2025 an estimate of the worker waste production was made and summarized in Table 4.3.3.
Manpower requirements represents the peak maximum workers on site only and assumes worker
consumption is 1/3 of the metro manila per capita per day amount.

91. It is expected that the Contractor will arrange a contract with the local service providers and
transport the waste to pick up points adjacent to roads or with easy internal road access. The contractor
may also choose to enter into separate agreements with recyclers for plastic or paper if quantities are
high enough.

92. The contractor will be recommended to use the local junk shop system to dispose of surplus
or broken furniture, tool and equipment thus diverting items from landfill and taking advantage of repair

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

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

94. During concrete pours and in the pre-fabrication yard there may be waste concrete. A number
of options are possible for this surplus concrete:

• Return waste to batching plant, for reuse in lower quality concrete or other use or crushed for
aggregate;
• Use on site for hard standing areas, additional roads;
• Pour and recycle as aggregate when set, then crushed on or off site; or
• Pour and send to land fill when set.

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

96. Most casting formwork is expected to special purpose metal forms as this is the most economic
method. Timber formwork may be needed on occasion and timber may be used in many temporary
constructions, scaffolding work etc. Timber in formwork has a limited life and is disposed of after 2-3
uses. Timber can be usefully reused and recycled or used as fuel and may find a use via the local junk
shop system. The contractor is expected to separate timber from other waste and attempt to find non-
landfill uses.

Liquid Waste

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

• Sewage: From portable toilets and septic tanks;

• Grey water: From washing cleaning water used in offices and accommodation;
• Pile slurry liquid: Drilling Slurry is made up of polymers or special clays depending on
technology used by contractor; and
• Concrete washout liquids: From cleaning of concrete batch plant and transporter trucks and other
equipment.

98. Sewage removal in portable chemical toilets will be sub-contracted to portable toilet suppliers
and disposed through their existing sewage companies. If the contractor elects to use toilets running
water flush systems these will either be connected to septic tanks and emptied by a similar waste disposal
company that pumps out the tank and takes to a sewage treatment plant or treated on site in a portable
Waste Water Treatment Plant (WTP). To ensure the waste is disposed of correctly the companies
concerned will be required to provide evidence of correct disposal. If using an WTP a discharge permit
will be required from EMB and a monitoring plan developed.

99. All septic tanks shall be designed with three (3) chamber type to ensure that there is no risk to
groundwater from overflow between emptying schedules

100. Grey water from office and accommodation washing facilities will also be directed to tanks or
to WTP. In the case of the tanks, the water will be extracted and taken to a municipal treatment works.
If the case of an ABT the final discharge will be suitable for discharge to the local waterways/ drainage.
If using an WTP a discharge permit will be required from EMB and a monitoring plan developed.

101. Piling is carried out with a liquid slurry system. The slurry is either mixed with bentonite clay
or special polymers to stabilize the sides of the borehole. Before the slurry is disposed of the material
must be de-watered. The water from this process may require further treatment before disposal to the

Page 23
 Waste Management Plan
North-South Commuter Railway Clark Extension Project

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

102. A method of disposal of pile slurry liquid will be proposed by the contractor in their WMP.
This will normally involve a settling area to separate the liquid from the spoil, treatment of liquid before
discharge to local drainage systems. All leaching area, evaporation ponds etc. will be designed to contain
the waste material fully for later extraction and disposal.

103. Concrete delivery trucks, pumping pipes and casting machines require regular wash outs to
prevent waste concrete hardening in place. Washout water is usually high in pH (Alkaline). DAO-2016-
08 requires discharge water to be less than 8.5-9.0 pH (depending on watercourse class) The treatment
and disposal of wastewater from washing out of concrete lorries and batching plants will be proposed
by the contractor in their WMP and will likely involve a settling area with evaporation ponds before
disposal of the remaining cement cake to a landfill site or acid neutralization of the liquid waste.

104. Any water discharged to the local drainage system has to meet the requirements of DAO 2016-
08, a discharge permit with an agreed monitoring plan is required from EMB and monitoring results
must be submitted quarterly. Additional sampling and auditing will be carried out by the Engineer as
required.

Hazardous Waste

105. Some hazardous waste is expected to be produced during the construction phase mainly
hazardous chemical containers, lightbulbs, batteries etc. The contractor must segregate the materials and
arrange disposal at a Hazardous Waste Disposal Site.

106. To ensure the Hazardous Waste is disposed of according to the laws and regulation outlined
in Section 3.2.5 above the contractor shall implement a waste separation process on site and a hazardous
waste manifest system as explain below in Section 5.

Electrical and Mechanical Installation (E&M)

107. The installation of tracks, signaling and overhead catenary is not expected to generate
significant amounts of waste. Metal wastes and some electrical wastes are expected.

Summary of Construction Phase Solid Waste Streams

108. Table 4.3.4Table 4.3.4 summarizes the waste streams for construction and proposes the
monitoring requirements. The various contractors will be required to produce waste management plans
for approval by the Engineer as specificed in project specifications.

4.4. OPERATION PHASE

Introduction

109. There are seven stations on the line from Malolos to CIA. Some stations have been designed
with space for shops and food service outlets on the ground and first floors. Solid waste streams within
the station have been designed for passenger operation only at the design stage and further waste plans
will need to be made once the operation plan for the stations is further developed. Stations contain public
and staff toilets and staff kitchens.

110. The rolling stock maintenance details are not known at this stage as the contract will be design
and build. However, estimates have been made based on Japanese Operators Guidelines6.

111. Operations maintenance takes place at the depot where there is a maintenance Workshop
(including wheel grinding workshop), Light Repair Shop (LRS), train washing facilities, offices and

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

Page 25
 Waste Management Plan
North-South Commuter Railway Clark Extension Project

Operational Control Center (OCC). There is also a Training Institute with capacity for approximately
208 people. Overall up to 603 people may be on site in a day. All the Depot buildings will contain toilets,
washrooms and there will be a canteen and kitchen.

112. Track maintenance is another operation that will lead to waste being produced as fixings,
sleepers and ballast are maintained. Track maintenance splits into two types slab and ballast although
the greatest part of the track is slab.

113. The Contract and Specifications for operations has not been completed. As part of the
Operators Contract the Proponent will require a Waste Management Plan as part of the Environmental
Management Plan (EMP).

Solid Waste

114. Solid waste generation at the station and has been estimated based on the number of
passengers. Provision has been made for three bin recycling waste bins in the Station design and these
will allow all the waste to be picked up by the local commercial waste management company

115. Train preparation works involves light maintenance and trash collection and will take place at
the depot. This has been estimated based on half full trash boxes of 7kg each and 370 cars per day
(1,295kg). Light maintenance involves general housekeeping tasks like air conditioning, lights,
emptying waste bins and cleaning etc. and this has been estimated as 20kg per day using Japanese
Operation experience.

116. Scheduled maintenance takes place at the Workshop where train parts are disassembled and
serviced. Waste from these operations includes many oils and other materials that are contaminated with
oils, greases or hazardous waste and worn out parts. The wheel grinding operation produces steel waste
that has a ready market for recycling.

117. The offices, control center and training institute will generate commercial/ domestic type
waste. It is assumed this is one third of the figure stated in Senate Document AG-17-01 “Philippine
Solid Waste at a glance”7 of 0.9kg per person per day in 2025 or 0.3kg.

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

Liquid Waste

119. Liquid waste water and sewage at the stations will be treated by a Water Treatment System
installed at each station. This will be discharged to the local drainage system as no reliable local sewage
system is available. The water discharged to the local drainage system will meet the requirements of
DAO 2016-08 and monitoring will be agreed with EMB.

120. There are no toilets on the trains.

121. The Mabalacat depot is located near an existing sewage treatment works and thus all waste
water can be connected to the municipal sewage system for treatment. Estimates were made for sanitary
waste water based on The Philippines Institute of Development Studies paper “Determination of Basic
Household Water Requirements”8. This paper identified 60.5 liters per capita per day.

North-South Commuter Railway Clark Extension Project

Hazardous Waste

122. Various waste oils, cleaning solvents and oil contaminated cleaning material and protective
clothing are produced on a daily basis in the maintenance operations.

123. Various oil traps are included in the car park and train washing facilities to separate oil from
waste water before discharge to the municipal drainage system. These waste oils and grease must be
collected and treated as hazardous waste.

124. The operator will register with DENR as a hazardous waste generator as outlined and in DAO-
2013-22. Hazardous waste will be segregated labeled and stored as outlined in DAO-2013-22 and sent
for disposal at an accredited treatment, storage or disposal facility. The Operator will use the waste
manifest system as described in Chapter 6 of the above Administrative Order.

125. There are a number of secondary uses for waste oils and solvents such as for Alternative Fuels
(typically in cement factories or for refining into fuel oils). EMB publishes a list of accredited TSD
facilities for hazardous wastes9. The Operator should explore the options for reuse of the oil based waste.

Summary

126. Table 4.4.1Table 4.4.1 below summarizes the predicted waste stream generated during
operations. As many aspects of the operations are yet to be finalized the Operator will submit a Waste
Management Plan to the proponent and EMB for approval before commencing operations.
