5.

Get the capacity of existing cemetery and other private memorial parks
to be able to determine if there is a need to identify other burial site.
6. Estimate cemetery requirement based on a minimum plot size of 1.0 meter
by 2.4 meters (excluding open spaces, circulation and facility requirements).

Refer to HLURB Rules and Regulations on the Development of Memorial Parks

and to the location criteria/guidelines for cemeteries as provided under PD 856
(Annex SO-3).

C. Solid Waste and Wastewater Management

1. Determine the area needed for solid waste management site. This may be carried out
using the formula:

Area = Amount (kg/year) - Residence time (year)

Density (kg/m3) Height (m)

Sample computation for determination of land area for Sanitary landfill

Given:

Population = 100,000

Waste generation = .5 kg person/day

Waste density = 330 kg/m3

Height = 10 m

Residence time= 10 years

a. Compute for waste generation

Waste generation =100,000 x .5 kg/day x 7 days/week x 52 weeks/year

=18,200,000 kg/year

b. Compute for land area requirement

Area = Waste generated (kg/year) x Residence time (year)

Waste Density (kg/m3) Landfill depth (m)

= 18,200,000 kg/year x 10 years

330 kg/m3 10 m

= 55,151 m2 or 5.5 hectares

c. Compute for the total land requirement

The computed land area requirement needs to be increased by 50% to allow for
daily cover, roads, receiving areas, fencing, etc. Therefore:

Total land area = 5.5 ha x 1.5

= 8.25 hectares

 Notes:
• Note that sanitary landfill is at the bottom of solid waste management hierarchy, that means,
it is being done after other waste minimization strategies such as waste reduction at source,
recycling, composting, etc. have been conducted. The Ecological Waste Management Act
targeted 25% waste reduction for disposal to sanitary landfill after 5 years implementation of
the act.
• 330 kg/m3 waste density utilized by the DENR
• Waste generated should remove fraction to be diverted for composting, recycling, reuse, etc.
• Target service time of the facility. The DENR prescribes that the site should be sufficient for
a landfill with a target service life of up to 5 years.
• Landfill depth = 10 meters.

7. Select the site for solid waste facilities and indicate in the land use map. The following
is the general siting criteria for waste facilities
n Environmentally satisfactory –prevent surface and groundwater pollution, soil
contamination, and air pollution
n Socially acceptable –minimize smell and noise, aesthetic
n Good accessibility –proper distance, good road infrastructure
n Good service provision –access to water, power, and sewerage

The minimum location considerations for siting sanitary landfills and

controlled dumpsites are found in Annex SO-4. Minimum Locational
Considerations.

8. Appropriate the necessary land, including the required right-of-way access to the
land for the construction of the sewage and/or septage treatment facilities (Sec. 7, RA
9275 – Clean Water Act)

The site selection criteria for sewerage disposal are found in Annex SO-4.
Minimum Locational Considerations.

9. Identify other viable strategies to contain and manage wastewater such as:
n Establishment of technologies (mechanized/non-mechanized) for wastewater
treatment;
n Protection and preservation of natural wetlands from destruction, loss or
degradation, recognizing its role as a natural filtration system for wastewater before
it enters a larger body of water;
n Reuse of wastewater/water reclamation;
n Provision of market-based mechanisms such as the adoption of “pollution charge”
policy.

IV. Sector Analysis Matrix

A. Consolidate and validate the findings of the previous steps with the result
of the consultation/s.
1. List the key issues, problems, and concerns of the education sector.
2. Determine the possible implications/impacts of the health and sanitation situation to
such issues as Economic-commercial, industrial, agricultural; Social-housing, education,
social welfare; and Environmental-water supply, garbage, hospital and industrial wastes,
cemeteries and burial grounds.

3. Consider the impact of Climate Change and Disaster Risks
