1. DESCRIPTION OF THE EIA PROCESS

A. Terms of Reference of the EIA Study

An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is “a formal process of

identifying and predicting the impacts of a proposed action on environmental
integrity and human welfare and communicating the information about such
impacts to planners and decision makers” (EMB Training Module No. 10)

The EIA study aims to determine and assess the direct and indirect
environmental impacts of the development projects prior to its implementation so
that proper mitigating measures may be formulated.
The general approach of the conduct of the EIA study shall be based on the
annotated outline for IEE Report as presented in the Revised Procedural Manual
for DAO 03-30, Annex 2_15.

The IEER shall cover IEA study on the Physical, Biological and Social
aspect affected by the project Policy, Legal and Administrative Framework.
The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is conducted pursuant to
Presidential Decree No. 1586 or the Philippine Environmental Impact Statement
System (PEISS), the main law that governs EIA in the country

In the course of the review of the EIA study, there are certain existing laws and
legal orders that should be considered. Among these are the following:

Legislative and Regulatory

Considerations

Standards Governing DAO 34, 35, 14, 29

Environmental Quality PD 984, RA 8731, etc.

C. Status of the Project

The proposed project is finished with its planning and designing stage. It will
soon be starting with its bidding process.

D. EIA Scope

The EIA covers the construction and operation of the additional

slaughterhouse in Brgy. Bagacay, Calbayog City.

3.1 Spatial Scope

Impacts will be assessed within the area of influence of the project

defined as:
- Immediate Area of Influence: at immediate footprint of the proposed
project location.
- Direct Area of Influence: within the proposed project site boundary
and 5km radius of surrounding area.

3.2 Temporal Scope

The assessment of impacts in terms of duration is as follows:

- Effects on environmental and socioeconomic receptors and resources

are assessed for the entire construction activity.
- Effects on environmental and socioeconomic receptors and resources
are assessed for the entire operation activity.

Report
I. INTRODUCTION

The Philippine Environmental Impact Statement System was formally established

by virtue of Presidential Decree 1586. It requires the submission of Environmental
Impact Statements (EIS) for Environmentally Critical Projects (ECP) and Initial
Environmental Statements (EIS) for projects which are located in environmentally
critical areas as provided in its Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) and
Presidential Proclamation No. 2146, series of 1981.

And in 1996 DENR issued Department Administrative Order 37(DAO 96-37) to

further strengthen the EIS System. DAO 96 – 37 Article III, Section 9.0 (Contents of the
EIS) provides that “Some or all of the foregoing items may, when appropriate, be
presented in a format using the checklist approach.”

Pursuant to DAO 96 – 37, Memorandum Circular Number 4, Series of 1998 was

issued by the Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) to simplify the system. MC 98-
4 (Annex 1) defined the IEE Checklist as simplified for in lieu of the standard EIS
document. It provides a list of projects with IEE checklist, the format and contents of the
IEE Checklist and implementing guidelines.

F. Material Balance:

Input Out Product Output Waste

Type Quantity Type Quantity Type Quantity

Pig 80 kg/pig 65 kg Manure 15 kg

Urine
Hair
Toenails
Blood

Water 15 gallons/pig Wastewater 15 gallons

Wood/Fuel 5 kg/pig ash 1/2 kg

G. Waste Generated and Volume:

Average number of pigs slaughtered/day = 35 heads

Average solid waste generated/pig = 15.5 kg

Therefore output solid waste during slaughtering = 542.5 kg/day

Average water consumed/pig = 15 gallons

Therefore output liquid waste during slaughtering = 525 gallons/day

H. Impacts to the Environment:

A. Socio-economic Environment
 The slaughter house is unattractive to by-passers. This may cause
discomfort and will affect tourism or investments in the area.
 This will give employment to the community.

B. Health of Community
 Respiratory diseases to the persons in the neighborhood due to
odor.
 Noise generated by pigs in leirage and in slaughtering process

C. Biological Impact
 The ground water became polluted and less suitable for direct
contact because of buried rejected pigs which has diseases within
the slaughter house area.
 The wastewater directly flows to Calbayog River and may cause
adverse effect to aquatic life.
 The Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) of the river water will
increases and depletion of aquatic life occurs.
 The wastewater will cause turbidity of the river water that is
directly in contact.
I. Mitigation Plan

A. Socio-economic Environment
 There should have a building maintenance for restoration and
improvement and adapt green environment (Landscaping).

B. Health of Community
 Suitable biofilters should be installed to contain odors either by
absorption on a suitable media or incineration within the area.
 Disinfection of the working area before and after the operation;
 Good housekeeping: prompt removal of dung, spilt body contents
or by- products such as blood and fats and buried them properly
at the backyard;
 Provide perimeter wall sufficient to minimize the noise.
 All solid waste will be collected in a secured garbage bag prior for
pick-up by a collecting garbage truck.
C. Biological Impact
 Must have a correct site/area in burying rejected pigs for
confinement, or use other method which is incineration.
 Water usage should minimized;
 All contaminated water is collected and treated before releasing to
Calbayog River (should have waste water treatment facility);
 Hazardous or potentially polluting materials such as wastes going
to landfill must be sited on an impervious base away from water,
properly bonded and kept locked when unattended;(vermin control
chemical container)

J. Monitoring Plan

A. Socio-economic Environment
 Long term site monitoring to ensure that the restoration plan is
effective;

B. Health of Community
 Risk monitoring related activities regarding odours and effluent land
groundwater contamination
 Gas production and emissions must be monitored, normally
through the installation of ambient air quality monitoring
instruments, (if using incinerator)
C. Biological Impact
 General visual inspection of drainage canal and water bodies to
identify physical pollution or blockages to water flow;
 Measurement of total suspended solids.
 BOD / COD, pH, ammonia, suspended discharged and in receiving
waters;
 Biodiversity indicators such as aquatic macro invertebrates and fish;
 Physical / chemical / microbiological water quality measurements;
 Daily indicators of proper functioning of treatment plant.

 K. Conclusion

Edible and inedible by-products are frequently wasted during the slaughtering and
further processing owing to:
(1) Insufficient skills and discipline in slaughtering;
(2) Poor quality of slaughtering equipment in the slaughterhouse, slaughtering on
the floor, no slaughter line, lack of adequate maintenance;
(3) A non-cost-effective processing of by-products either because of the
small quantities involved, the high costs of processing or the low value of the
end product;
(4) Lack of equipment for the processing of by-products; and
(5) Lack of regulations on the discharge of wastes or the inability of the authorities
to enforce regulations.
