Title of the Cooperation Project, and Names of Project Proponent and Consultants 1.1 Title of the Cooperation Project Establishment of Ecological Solid Waste Management in 3 Cities in the Philippines 1.2 Names of Project Proponent National Solid Waste Management Commission and 3 Cities (Sagay, Calbayog, and Davao City) 1.3 Name of Consultant Hiroyuki Doi (Independent Consultant) 2. Categorization and its reason Categorization: The Proposed Projects (Construction of Sanitary Landfill Facility) are required to secured the ECC (Environmental Compliance Certificate) for the implementation of the projects. 3. Title of the Regulations under which the environmental and social considerations study has been conducted 3.1 Title of the Regulation The Philippine EIS System 3.2 Outline of the Regulation In 1979, the Philippine EIS System was established by virtue of President Decree (PD) Since its implementation, it has undergone amendments to be more effective tool in planning, and managing environmental issues and concerns. The basic policy governing the EIS System is to attain and maintain a rational and orderly balance between socio-economic growth and environmental protection. The EIS System categorizes projects into two namely: the Environmentally Critical Project (ECP) and projects located in Environmentally Critical Areas (ECA). For these categories, an Environmental Compliance certificate (ECC) should be secured from the Department of Environment and Natural resources (DENR). 3.3 Other related laws and Regulations Refer to appendix Project subject to EIA Table 1 shows EIS Category for Solid Waste Management Projects subject to EIA.

3 3.5 Procedures Pursuant to DENR Administrative Order No. 30, Series of 2003, proponents of waste management projects are required to submit an Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) before an Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) may be issued by the concerned EM Regional Office. This IEE Checklist was formulated to simplify the format of the information that needs to be submitted by all Local Government Units (LGUs) or private entities, in order to secure an ECC for Categorized Final Disposal Facilities (Sanitary Landfill). The information contained in this Checklist shall serve as the primary basis for the review and assessment of the ECC application. During the substantive review process, however, the concerned EM Regional Office may require additional information, which may not have been included in the Checklist, but is of critical importance to the review and assessment of the ECC application. This IEE Checklist is applicable to Category 1 and Category 2 of the Categorized Final Disposal Facility (Sanitary Landfill) with a daily net residual waste generated or net disposal waste of < 15 MT and 15 < 75 MT, respectively. All ECC applications for this project type are filed at the concerned EM Regional Office. 3.6 Stakeholder participation The Philippines EIS System states that the acceptability of the environmental impact of a project or undertaking can only be fully determined through meaningful participation and a transparent EIS process. In conformity with the requirements delineated Article Ⅳ, Section 3 of DAO No.96-37, proponents of projects or undertakings that are required to undergo an EIA shall initiate the conduct of public consultations as provided in the EM Guidelines on Public Participation and Social Acceptability, to ensure that public s concerns are fully integrated into the EIA process. Proponents should initiate public consultation early in order to ensure the environmentally relevant concerns of stakeholders are taken into consideration in the EIA study and the formulation of the management plan. All public consultations and public hearings conducted during the EIA process are to be documented. The public hearing / consultation process report shall be validated by the EM/EM RD and shall constitute part of the record of the EIA process. 3.7 Information disclosure Article Ⅳ, Section 2 of DAO No details the following requirements of public information to be complied by the project proponent. -The proponent shall disclose all information about the proposed project to the public in a language and manner that are easily understood. -The proponent shall post a notice of the submission of an IEE/EIS, in coordination with the DENR Regional office or EM, as the case may be, in the barangay and municipal halls and other conspicuous places in the affected community, together with a summary of the proposed project. 3

4 3.8 Relative agencies and institutions The EM is responsible for recommendation and legislation of policies and programs for environmental management and pollution control. EM also administers EIS system, which requires all government agencies and private sectors to come up with EIS for environmentally critical projects, as well as projects that are located in an environmentally critical area. ECCs have to be issued by the DENR for every undertaking that has to been identified as not having a negative impact on the environment. In addition, EM undertakes capability building and environmental education programs. 4. Outline of the Project and the Location 4.1 Outline of the Projects Project purpose Ecological Solid Waste Management System is established in the three cities (Sagay City, Calbayog City, and Davao City) Activities (1) Capacity of the three cities on Solid Waste Management is strengthened. (2) Solid Waste Diversion System is improved.

Monitoring 3 LGUs (Sagay City, Calbayog City, and Davao City) will establish appropriate water quality monitoring program during and after the construction of Sanitary Landfill Facility (SLF). 8. Enhancement Opportunities (1) Capacity Development of 3 LGUs on Solid Waste Management is implemented. (2) Improvement of Solid Waste Diversion System is implemented. (3) Improvement of Final Disposal System is implemented. 16

17 9. Consultation 3 LGUs will hold public consultation as well as dialogue with communities around proposed SLF. 10. Review of EIA Report where available With the foregoing, it is evaluated that the JICA Guidelines for Environmental and Social Considerations and the Philippine EIS System are almost the same in nature in terms of categorization of projects and procedures. The objectives of the two are the same, which is to address environmental and social issues and concerns of the different projects. In consideration of the JICA Guidelines and Philippine EIS System, the proposed SLF of 3 LGUs are required Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) from EM (Environment Management ureau) in each regional office before constructing of SLF. Necessity of the EIA shall fall as follows; (1) Sagay City Proposed SLF falls under Category 2 as per RA Therefore, IEE Check List needs to be submitted to EM to secure ECC. (2) Calbayog City Proposed SLF falls under Category 2 as per RA Therefore, IEE Check List needs to be submitted to EM to secure ECC. (3) Davao City Proposed SLF falls under Category 3 as per RA Therefore, IEE Report needs to be submitted to EM to secure ECC. end 17
