B. Impact Monitoring

i. Summary of Previous Monitoring

There were no negative impacts recorded in the previous monitoring. Ambient

air quality monitoring was within the NAAQS, Portalet was provided for the
generated domestic wastewater of the workers and solid wastes including
construction debris were properly collected and disposed of properly thru the
contacted haulers.

Ambient Air Quality

Figure 1

Point Source (Industrial) Air Quality

N/A

Overall Remarks

The project has no Air Pollution Source Installation that is required by the
permitting requirements of RA 8749.

However, since under construction stage, the expected primary impact of

the project on air quality is the increase in TSP concentrations near construction
areas. The civil works may cause some level of dust pollution in the air. Winds may
carry soil particles to nearby areas.

But during this monitoring, minimal dust emission was observed. In fact,
results of ambient air monitoring for PM 10 is within the NAAQS (Fig.1). The
contractor ensures that regular water sprinkling of exposed soils and unpaved
areas are being done. Also considered that hauling trucks are covered with canvass
or other material to control dust emission during transport.

Ambient Water Monitoring

Effluent Monitoring
N/A

Overall Remarks

Portable toilet is provided in the construction site for the sanitation

requirements of workers.

Results of ambient water quality monitoring for Total Suspended Solids (TSS) is
within the DENR Water Quality Criterion. This implies that the implementation of
the project does not affect the water quality of the river. This is due to the properly
implementation of Environmental Management Plan (EMP).

Land (Solid & Hazardous Waste)

Generated wastes include organic debris, roots, stumps, wooden planks, steel
bars, cement bags and other related materials are being disposed of through a
contracted hauler.

 The excavated materials are temporarily stored at a designated area within the
staging area prior to disposal into a permitted disposal site, determined by the
contractor. The general contractor is required to ensure that appropriate disposal
of the construction spoil, which is integrated in the Program Work Plan.

People

There are no public health issues associated with the project’s implementation.
Workers are provided with a Personal Protective Equipment such as working
uniform, pants, hard hat, chin Strap and Safety Shoes. The project contractor is
required to implement a Construction Health and Safety Plan to avoid accidents at
the workplace.

Moreover, this project has the following positive social impacts in addition to
environmental cleanliness and feeling of comfort to the commuters using the road
stretch brought by these roads project and bridges development.
➢ Safe and Convenient travel to the commuters/population within
Municipality
➢ Access to basic needs and services
➢ Farmers can transport their agricultural/farming products to accessible
nearest market
➢ Improve trade, commerce, and industry.

WEAP Virtual PCO Training
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)

No exceedances have been recorded during this monitoring period.

C. Environmental Management Plan Status

To this monitoring period, its EMP is still applicable and updated. In

fact, it was properly implemented and noted being efficient and effective.

Mitigating measures are being implemented to avoid adverse impacts

to the environment in terms of Land, People, Air, Water Quality.

D. ENVIRONMENTAL RISK CATEGORIZATION

The project construction is not causing adverse impact to the

environment. It can be considered as low risk.

E. WORK PLAN FOR NEXT MONITORING PERIOD

✓ Compliance Monitoring Report should be submitted regularly and on-time.

✓ Continue to implement Environmental Management Plan and Environmental
Monitoring Plan.
✓ continuous compliance with ECC conditions.
