➢ Establishment of baseline environmental conditions and preparation of the EIS Report based on the
Revised Procedural Manual for DENR Administrative Order No. 30, Series of 2003 and EMB Memorandum
Circular No. 005, Series of 2014

EIA Team

The proponent has hired the services of an Environmental Consultant, Engr. Darrell A. Palabrica, an environmental
engineer who has gained his experience in environmental impact assessment, solid waste management, water
pollution management and toxic and hazardous waste management at the Environmental Management Bureau –
DENR Region VI. He has been with this National agency for more than 18 years. He was previously designated as
the OIC- Chief of the Environmental Impact Assessment Division. There were also the representatives of the
proponent, Mr. Romeo Felicano D. Licup who in one way or another have greatly provided the data and
information about the proposed project that were needed for the inclusion to the EIS Report.

EIA Study Schedule

Upon agreement with the proponent for the preparation of the said report, the environmental consultant has
initially requested/gathered the pertinent documents such as site development plan of the whole project, list of
equipment and its support facilities, survey plan, transfer certificates of title, lease agreement, zoning certificate
from deputized zoning administrator, vicinity map and other related documents for the project. It is within this
stage that the preparer could have a macro point of view on the project and relate the possible impacts that the
project might generate. Hereunder is the EIS Schedule for the proposed Broiler (1-Million Egg Capacity) Hatchery
Project of SMV Agro Industrial Corporation.

Activities Timeframe

1. Gathering and assessment of pertinent 5 days

documents such as site development plan of the
whole project, list of equipment and its support
facilities, survey plan, transfer certificate of title,
zoning certificate from deputized zoning
administrator, vicinity map and other related
documents for the project. Series of meetings
were conducted with the proponent to discuss the
needed information/data and the coverage of the
EIS to the request for the issuance of the ECC.

2. Initial assessment of the gathered documents 14 days

and request proponent for other possible

information that will be needed in the

completion of the report.

3. Reconnaissance survey/gathering of lacking data 7 days

of the project.

4. Information and Education Campaign about the 7 days

proposed project

5. Preparation of the Environmental Impact 10 weeks

Statement (EIS) Report

6. Finalization and submission of EIS to EMB R6 (for 2-4 days

initial review)

A new mandate was made by EMB Central Office wherein the old processing of the EIS-based was reverted back,
so all EIS-based projects will now undergo the third-party review process and will follow the previous processes
wherein there are the IEC activities and the scoping process before the series of reviews will be undertaken. This
has lengthened the number of days in processing the request for an ECC. As part of the IEC program of the
proponent it was able to conduct posting of project information to the areas (bulletin boards) of the identified
stakeholders. Officially these were received by the stakeholders and received copies have served proof that an
IEC activity was undertaken before the request for a Technical and Public Scoping. The same IEC materials were
furnished to EMB R6 as requirements for the scheduling of the scoping process. Annex A presents the IEC
Materials that were submitted to EMB R6.

Due to the enhanced community quarantine which was implemented nation-wide to address the spread of COVID-
19, the conduct of the public scoping and public hearing was based on EMB Memorandum Circular No. 2020-30
“Interim Guidelines on Public Participation in the Implementation of the Philippine Environmental Impact
Statement System (Pd 1586) During the State of National Public Health Emergency”. The proponent opted for the
conduct of these activities through Consultation through online channels such as video conferencing, webinar,
etc.

EIA Study Area

The EIS Report must include in its discussion the direct and indirect impact areas of the project and its proposed
operation and processes. The delineation of the impact areas will be based on both social and technical
considerations. The Direct Impact Area (DIA) will be project site and the Indirect Impact Area (IIA) on the other
hand will be temporarily designated to be the area 1-km radius from the center of the identified DIA. Figure 1
presents the Direct Impact Areas and the Indirect Impact Areas

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
PROPOSED BROILER (1 MILLION EGG-CAPACITY) HATCHERY PROJECT

PROPONENT: SMV Agro Industrial Corporation

The possible impacts of the whole project are not only contained to this primary and secondary impact areas but
is also included in the regional impact zone (RIZ), this is where the zone that the impacts of the project could still
be felt.

EIA Methodology

Upon agreement by the environmental consultant and the proponent to process for the ECC, the initial step was
to gather information about the proposed project.

The Revised Procedural Manual for DENR Administrative Order 30, Series of 2003 was used as the basis in coming
up with the required documents. Based on this guideline, the consultant utilized the checklist (Annex 2-1a) to
determine the extent of coverage of the project to the Philippine EIS System. This was made as a self-screening
tool and it contains the list of all requirements to effect an application to the Philippine EIS System. It will further
fall under the category of Group II Livestock Industries – Broiler Hatchery Project. This kind of project is considered
as a Non-Critical Project located in an Environmental Critical Area. An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) must
be prepared as a requirement for the issuance of the ECC.

The consultant requested the proponent to provide the following:

• Transfer Certificates of Title;

• Lease Agreement;
• Survey Plan of the Project site;
• Site Development Plan and Vicinity Map;
• List of Equipment and Support Facilities;
• Process flow of the Broiler Hatchery Project;
• Components of the wastewater treatment facilities;
• List of air pollution sources and control equipment;
• Emergency Response Program/Plan;
• Zoning Certification from the Deputized Zoning Administrator;
• Gantt Chart or PERT/CPM of the proposed project;
• Manpower requirements; and
• Project Cost.

PROPONENT: SMV Agro Industrial Corporation

An initial assessment has already been made basing on the submitted documents. The possible impacts made
by construction and operation of the hatchery project have been identified and these impacts will be further
reassessed upon the conduct of the field reconnaissance. One of the major concerns of the consultant is on
the washwater during the maintenance of the egg trays and other hatchery equipment. There is also the
volume of sewage water from the workers/personnel during construction and operational phases. Solid
wastes generated such as broken egg shells will be the majority of wastes that will be generated during the
operational phase of the project.

Field Reconnaissance and Secondary Data Gathering

A field reconnaissance at the project site was conducted to gather the secondary data. This activity is also
undertaken to determine whether the proponent has started the proposed project and to relate the possible
identified impacts to the existing environmental scenario. Other existing information surrounding the project
were noted and observed as well. The gathering of such information will serve as supplemental reference to
some of the results that were being gathered as baseline/sampling data.

The preparation of the EIS Report has taken approximately 10 weeks incorporating all the data and
information that were gathered, the identification of possible impacts both positive and negative, the
mitigating measures that will be recommended for the proponent to undertake so that it can minimize the
adverse impacts of the project, and the updated environmental management and monitoring plans that will
be conducted after the issuance of the ECC.

Based on the Revised Procedural Manual for DAO 03-30, the proponent submits one copy of the EIS to EMB-
R6 for procedural screening within a timeframe of 3 days the document should be validated for the screening
process and completeness of the EIS Report to ensure the information is sufficient to make a decision on the
application. Five (5) hard copies of the EIS Report and a CD copy will be submitted to EMB R6. The EIS
Document will undergo the review process with the third-party EIA Review Committee.

Summary of the EIA Findings on the Key Significant Impacts of the Project and Corresponding EMP Highlights

The Revised Procedural Manual for DENR Administrative Order No. 30 Series of 2003 which serves as the
guideline has provided information that the study must cover the total operation of the project with specific
discussions on the construction and operational phases. Based on the information which includes the
secondary data that were gathered there are four aspects of the environment that will be affected by the
project, namely: Land, Air, Water and People. The impacts that are identified vary from each aspect of the
environment and these will be discussed thoroughly in Chapter 3 of this study. The key significant impacts of
the project will focus on the pre-construction, construction, operational and abandonment phases of the
project.

On the land environment, there will be the generation of solid wastes (egg shells, dead chicks, cartons and
crates) and other undesirable wastes generated by the project. For the water environment there will be
generation of wastewater and if improperly managed and disposed could create detrimental impacts to the
environment. It will also create a competition between different users of the said underground aquifer where
x
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
PROPOSED BROILER (1 MILLION EGG-CAPACITY) HATCHERY PROJECT
Barangay Lanag, Sta. Barbara, Iloilo
PROPONENT: SMV Agro Industrial Corporation

the source of water will be taken. The project will have an impact on the air environment through the fossil
fuels (diesel) that are being combusted by the generator set during operational phase and airborne dust
emission from the areas that are being developed/constructed. These impacts could particularly affect
directly the personnel/staff and workers of the project and adjacent areas

On the socio-economic environment, there will be more of positive impacts such as provision of job
opportunities to host barangay and contribution to the increase in taxes through local revenues. The aspect
on the health and safety of the personnel and workers that will be directly affected during the construction
and operational phases are also considered. There is also the identification that one of the possible impacts
that will be generated by the project will be increase in traffic at the area due to the numerous hauling trucks
that will ply in the area.

Summary of the Environmental Management and Monitoring Plans on the most significant impacts and key
measures

In Chapter 4 there is the detailed presentation of the Impacts Mitigation Plan which is the result of the
gathered information of the project and the identification of the key significant impacts of the project. The
identification of the key significant impacts in Chapter 3 will provide the proponent a guide to come up for an
effective impact mitigation plan. The updating of the Environmental Monitoring Plan will further help the
proponent and other concerned stakeholders to have a guide on what parameters and monitoring activities/
schemes should be undertaken in certain key significant impacts. The activities in the monitoring plan will
help provide information later on if the proponent has indeed complied with the requirements as set forth in
the issued ECC.

1.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

1.1 Project Location and Area

SMV Agro Industrial Corporation (SAIC) will construct and operate a broiler hatchery (1 million egg -capacity)
project to address the demand of broiler poultry growers for quality chicks. The project will be located at Lot 3951
-A (portion of Lot 3951) (TCT No. T-180,017), Brgy. Lanag, Sta. Barbara, Iloilo. It will have a total project area of
11,892 square meters. The project site is being leased by the proponent from Heirs of Feliciana Licup for a period
of ten years starting from June 2020.

1.2 Project Rationale

According to the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), the chicken industry accounted for 14.72% of the total value
of agriculture output, equivalent to P25.941 billion, in the third quarter. In the third quarter of 2017 and 2018,
the industry accounted for 13.27% and 13.96%, respectively.

Volume of production grew 8.48% to 465,150 metric tons (MT) during the third quarter of 2019. The PSA noted
that increased production was brought by increased demand as consumers shift from pork to chicken due to the
African Swine Fever (ASF) outbreak.

In 2019, the total number of chickens in poultry farming in the Philippines was around 186.4 million heads. The
entire inventory of chickens in the Philippines has increased over the last ten years.

Based on the performance of Philippine Agriculture (for January to March 2019), poultry output which contributed
16.74 percent to the total agricultural production registered a 5.41 percent increment in the first quarter of 2019.

PROPONENT: SMV Agro Industrial Corporation

The aggregate chicken demand is projected to increase from about 1.4 million MT in 2017 to 1.6 million MT in
2020 to about 1.8 million MT by 2023.

The demand for chicken meat has increased in the previous years which opted businesses to focus in broiler
poultry projects. However, due to the regular demand of poultry in the market, the broiler poultry growers are
facing some shortages in the supply of one-day old quality chicks in the market which prompted others to focus
in the hatchery production of broiler chicks. It is within this premise that the proponent plans to construct and
operate a broiler hatchery project to compensate the demands for quality one-day old chicks.

1.3 Project Alternatives

Preliminary planning for the location of the proposed project site was considered by the proponent. The following
criteria in the selection of the project site was based on the following:

• The proposed area should be strategically located near the existing poultry breeder’s farms which
could be of make a great impact in terms of hauling of the eggs to the hatchery project;
• The project area is accessible from the business stand point of the proponent;
• The project area should have sufficient space for the components of the hatchery project with its
support facilities; and
• The project area is zonified as agricultural and project is allowed to be operated at this area.

The property of the Licup Family (Heirs of Feliciana Licup) located at Brgy. Lanag, Sta. Barbara would fit the above-
mentioned criteria. Furthermore, the project site has been an idle lot which was not utilized by the family. It would
be an additional cost if the project will be located in another place so the proponent opted to utilize this area as
the project site for the proposed hatchery project.

Technology Alternatives

In terms of technology alternatives, the proponent will still be utilizing the concept of hatching the chicks using the
artificial process of incubation (utilizing the machine incubators to hatch the fertile eggs). Due to the desired
output of a large volume of one-day old chicks to be produced, the proponent opted to operate the state of the
art equipment in incubation. These involve the acquisition of egg setters and incubators/hatchery machines.
Proper acquisition of the equipment and management process will also produce a high efficiency of one-day old
chicks.

PROPONENT: SMV Agro Industrial Corporation

Poultry (Broiler) Hatchery Plant

From the sources of breeder egg farms, the eggs will be prepared upon arrival at the hatchery plant with the
following activities:

➢ Egg Receiving
➢ Egg Preparation
➢ Incubation
▪ Setting Activity
▪ Transfer Activity
➢ Chick Pull-out
➢ Chick Processing
➢ Chick Dispatching and Delivery

Egg Receiving

Prior to unloading of the eggs from the van, the receiving party (proponent) must ensure that temperature of the
van is monitored to its desired setting and proper documentation will be done. After checking the van’s
temperature, it would unload the eggs at the egg rooms for initial inspection.

In this activity there will also be the verification of actual volume delivered versus records. There will be recording
of any discrepancies and/or observations being encountered during the receiving of the eggs.

Egg Preparation

At the egg rooms there will be the preparation of the eggs. It will undergo the grading and re-traying, grouping
(as to its sizes), tagging (this is to ensure the receiving day and the day it will start its incubation period). During
the grouping of the eggs, all undersize (eggs falling under the small sizes and below) and oversize eggs (jumbo sizes
and up) will be collected by the contractor. There is also the setting or the report preparation providing for the
details of the eggs to be incubated. Lastly, there will be disinfection process in order to eliminate or kill
microorganisms on the surface of the eggshell.

Incubation

Setting Activity

It is in this phase that the eggs after proper preparation will be placed in a setter machine for the setting activity.
There will be tray assignment and setting for the eggs that are ready for the setter machines. It would take 18 days
(day 1 to day 18) for the eggs to be transferred to the hatcher machines.

There is also the monitoring of the setter temperature to ensure that it is within the prescribed settings. The
optimum temperature for chicken egg in the setter (for first 18 days) ranges from 99.50 to 99.75° F and in the
hatcher (last 3 days) is 98.5 ° F. Other activities during the setting activity period are candle lighting (to check if
the eggs are fertile), cleaning and disinfection. Unfertilized eggs identified during the candling activities are
collected by the contractor and removed immediately from the hatchery plant

Transfer (Hatching) Activity

The eggs from the setter machines are pulled out for transfer. It will be in this activity that there will be the
designation of eggs to its hatcher machine assignment. After the 18-day period at the setter machines the eggs
are transferred to the hatcher machines for the final phase of the incubation. It would take about three days

8|Page
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
PROPOSED BROILER (1 MILLION EGG-CAPACITY) HATCHERY PROJECT

PROPONENT: SMV Agro Industrial Corporation

before the eggs are hatched at the hatcher machines. Unhatched eggs, egg shells and dead chicks are immediately
collected by the contractor and removed from the hatchery plant.

Other activities that would be undertaken during this phase are the segregation and recording of gas eggs, cleaning
and disinfection and monitoring of hatcher machine’s temperature.

Chicks Pull-out

In this activitiy, there is now the pulling out and checking of the chicks from the hatcher machines. The newly
hatched chicks will be placed in the chicken pull-out and wash room for initial inspection. The hatcher machines
after being utilized will be cleaned and disinfected.

In every harvest there is always the mortality of some of the chicks, these dead chicks are properly collected and
disposed to third party buyers (serves as feeds for the catfish production).

The egg shells are properly collected as well and disposed by an accredited third-party waste collector.

The pulled-out chicks will be transferred to the Chicken Holding and Processing Room.

In the event that there are circumstances that would be experienced during the dispatching and delivery of the
one -day old chicks (such as typhoons), the washroom and clean room section of the hatchery plant will be utilized
to accommodate the chicks (for about one week).

Chick Processing

The activities to be undertaken in this phase are the following: grading, counting and packing; vaccination, tagging
and grouping; and the preparation of the preparation of the chick output record.

The grading of the chicks will involve the selection of the chicks that will be sold directly to the commercial
consumers and grower/breeder farms and those that are grade-out chicks to the sales shed.

Chick Dispatching and Delivery

Hatchery Level

At the hatchery plant there will be the preparation of the delivery documents, checking of the chick van condition,
loading of day-old chicks, and guard’s inspection and sealing of van. The one-day old chicks will be placed in a
plastic container with a capacity of 100 heads. These plastic containers have a product lifespan of five years and
will be reused for the operation. Prior to the loading of the chicks these plastic containers and vans are cleaned
and disinfected.

Farm Level

Once the chicks are delivered to the farm the following activities must be first undertaken to ensure the proper
turn over of the chicks:

➢ Inspection of chick van seal

➢ Unloading of Day-Old Chicks
➢ Preparation of Chick Delivery Receipt

BFAR.

The project falls within an Environmentally Critical Area as defined in the DENR Administrative Order No, 30,
Series of 2003 (Implementing Rules and Regulations of Presidential Decree 1586, Establishing the Philippine
Environmental Impact Statement System, thus it is covered by such law. The securement of the ECC will form
part of the compatibility and requirements with the classification as an ECA.

2.1.1.3 Possible tenurial / land issue

The project area is not located in areas under CARP or with CADC/CADT.

2.1.2 Geology

The Cabatuan Formation was designated by Corby and others (1951) for the nearly flat-lying rocks in the
central part of the Iloilo Basin. These rocks are largely exposed between Cabatuan and Sta. Barbara, Iloilo
along the Tigum River. They divided the formation into three members – Balic Clay (renamed here as Balic
Mudstone Member), Maraget Sandstone and Sta. Barbara Silt. The formation was dated Plio-Pleistocene by
Santos (1968) but BED (1986b) considers its age as Pleistocene.

2.1.2.1 Change in Surface Landform/topography/Terrain/Slope

There is no change in the surface landform, topography and terrain of the project site since the area is already
flat and there will be minimum changes in the surface landform (this will be due to the construction of the
building’s foundation.

2.1.2.2 Change in the Sub-surface/underground geomorphology

There will be no change in the sub-surface/underground geomorphology of the project area with the
construction of the proposed hatchery project.

2.1.3 Pedology

Based on genetic and morphological characteristic, there are three (3) different types of soil in the
municipality. Generally, Sta. Barbara’s soil is thick, fertile and suitable for raising all kinds of agricultural
products. Predominantly, it is of loam classification which makes it readily conducive to rice farming.

Soil Type and Distribution by Land Area

a. Sta. Rita Clay Loam- covers 75% or 9,897 has. found among the plains of Sta. Barbara.
b. Umingan Fine Sandy Loam- covers 15% or 1,979.40 has. found in upland areas.
C. Alimodian Clay Loam - covers 10% or 1,319.60 has. found in the hills of the municipality.

The project area has the Sta. Rita Clay Loam for its type of soil.

2.1.3.1 Soil Erosion/Loss of top soil/overburden

There will be the occurrence of soil erosion and loss of top soil particularly to the areas where the building
structures will be constructed.

To address such possible impacts contractor must be provided with mitigating measures such as provision of
proper drainage and silt traps at the construction area to avoid loose soils from being carried to the nearest
water body, proper stockpiling of excavated materials and proper disposal of excess overburden outside of
the project area.

2.1.4 Terrestrial Biology

2.1.4.1 Vegetation removal and loss of habitat

The project site is presently an idle land previously which was not utilized by the Licup Family. The area where
the project will be situated is relatively flat with only grasses thriving and secondary shrubs. It is an open area
with some few vegetation and it is adjacent to an irrigation canal. Surrounding the project area are some
residential houses and agricultural lands.

The removal of such vegetation to pave way for the project will temporarily disrupt the habitat of certain
wildlife species living in that area. However, due to the vastness of the adjacent areas as agricultural lands
they could easily locate for their new habitat within that area.

2.1.4.2 Threat to existence of important local species

No endangered plants or animal species can be found in the proposed site.

2.1.4.3 Threat to abundance, frequency and distribution of important species

No endangered plants or animal species can be found in the proposed site. The area of the proposed project
will be constructed inside the proponent’s property and the whole area is considered an industrial zone.
Hence, conduct of study pertains the whole area is irrelevance/immaterial.

2.1.4.4 Hindrance to wildlife access

With the construction of the hatchery project in the area, the habitat for any wildlife species thriving in the
area could be disturbed and affected. The tendency of these species is to stay away from the disturbed area
and would locate to nearby areas with the same habitat characteristics.

2.2 The Water

2.2.1 Hydrology/Hydrogeology

The nearest water body in the project site is the Tigum River which is located at the west and southwest
portions of the project site (approximately 150 meters from the project site). There is also an existing
irrigation canal which connects to the Tigum River and this will serve as the discharge point of the treated
wastewater generated by the hatchery plant.

Tigum River originates from Mt. Inaman located at the Iloilo Antique border and traverses the Municipalities
of Maasin, Cabatuan and Sta. Barbara. Its downstream area from Pavia to its mouth in Brgy. Hinactacan, Lapaz,
Iloilo City.

Primarily, Tigum River is the main source of water supply of Iloilo City for its domestic, commercial and
industrial needs. The Dam at Brgy. Daja, Maasin, Iloilo and the pumping station at Brgy Ungka, Pavia Iloilo
being maintained by Metro Iloilo Water District (MIWD) are primarily part of this river system.

This drainage basin is serving several agricultural farms’ irrigation requirements, not to mention the volume
of water daily that go into the water system of MIWD. The Tigum River’s water supply and its natural flow
have been fragmented by the dam and by some man-made diversions for irrigation purposes

2.2.1.1 Change in drainage morphology/ Inducement of flooding/Reduction of Stream Volumetric Flow

This specific adverse impact is not applicable as the drainage in the whole area is generally parallel to sub-
parallel. Construction activities will not alter the drainage characteristics of the host barangay.

There are no proposed mitigating measures.

24 | P a g e
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)

PROPONENT: SMV Agro Industrial Corporation

There are no available information with regards to the flood peaks, volumes, frequency rating curves and
storm water flow estimates and related matters for the waterbody within the area. Flooding is an indirect
formation due to the ever-present changes due to Global Warming. Last recorded flooding that occurred in
the area was when Typhoon Frank (internationally known as Typhoon Fengshen) hit Panay Island in June 18,
2008. After Iloilo Flood Control Project was built the area did not experience any flooding.

Iloilo Flood Control Project (Phase I and II) is a Loan Project by DPWH from JICA implemented from 1999-2000
and 2002-2011. The Project included the construction of the Jaro Floodway and other structural and non-
structural measures that include: river improvement works, diversion channels, dams, flood retarding basins,
sabo dams, and watershed management. The Project is considered by CTII as a major project in the Philippines
that cemented its place in the engineering consulting industry as the leading firm in designing and managing
construction of flood infrastructure facilities in the Philippines and in other parts of the world

Proper drainage systems will be constructed for the project to avoid inducement to flooding.

2.2.1.2 Change in stream, lake water depth

There is no available information or reports with regards to the change in stream water depth as a result of
the proposed project of SMV Agro Industrial Corporation. The possible discharges from the treated effluent
will not change the stream depth of the river considering that it would pass through the manmade irrigation
canal before it reaches the Tigum River.

There are no proposed mitigating measures.

2.2.1.3 Water Resource Use and Competition

There will be no water resource use and competition when you relate the proposed project to the nearby
Tigum River. Source of water for the proposed plant will be the groundwater source (deep well) and the
hatchery plant is not an intensive water usage operator, considering that average monthly water consumption
for its operation (domestic and other washings) is about 15 cu. meters.

Proper documentation and permits shall be secured from the National Water Resources Board (NWRB) before
given the authority to extract and processed the surface water. The NWRB is the government agency which
manages and regulates all water resources and services in the Philippines. It integrates and coordinates all
water related activities that have social, environmental and economic impacts in the country.

2.2.2 Oceanography

2.2.2.1 Change in /Disruption in circulation pattern and change in bathymetry

The nearest saltwater body is Guimaras Strait (middle portion) is approximately 13.10 kilometers based on
the ground length distance from the project area. The impacts of the project such as change in bathymetry
and circulation patterns could be considered negligible due to the distance from the said strait.

2.2.3 Water Quality

2.2.3.1 Degradation of the Groundwater Quality

The utilization of the groundwater resources for the plant’s operation will not degrade the ground water
quality in the area.

A permit will be secured from the National Water Resources Board (NWRB) for the usage of the groundwater
source. This would regulate the withdrawal/extraction rate from the said source thus managing the possibility
of resource depletion and competition.

Domestic discharge and other wastewater discharges will be provided with the wastewater treatment
facilities that would ensure that effluent being discharged will be within the DENR Effluent Standards and will
not affect any groundwater or surface water bodies.

2.2.3.2 Degradation of the Surface Water Quality

Jaro-Tigum-Aganan River

Tigum is part of the Jaro-Tigum-Agana River and this river system was already officially classified by the
Environmental Management Bureau R6.

Tigum River originates from Mt. Inaman located at the Iloilo Antique border and traverses the Municipalities
of Maasin, Cabatuan and Sta. Barbara. Its downstream area from Pavia to its mouth in Brgy. Hinactacan, Lapaz,
Iloilo City. While Aganan River as part of this drainage channel traverses the Municipalities of Alimodian, San
Miguel and also part of Sta. Barbara and finally joined Jaro River in Brgy. Ungka, Pavia, Iloilo. Jaro-Tigum River
is the principal river channel while Aganan River is its major tributary. Jaro-Tigum has an approximate length
of about 35-kilometers from its source down to its mouth at Brgy. Hinactacan, Lapaz, Iloilo City, while Aganan
River has an approximate length of about 20 kilometers from its source down to its confluence with Jaro-
Tigum River in Pavia Bridge, Pavia, Iloilo.

Primarily, Tigum River is the main source of water supply of Iloilo City for its domestic, commercial and
industrial needs. The Dam at Brgy. Daja, Maasin, Iloilo and the pumping station at Brgy Ungka, Pavia Iloilo
being maintained by Metro Iloilo Water District (MIWD) are primarily part of this river system.

This drainage basin is serving several agricultural farms’ irrigation requirements, not to mention the volume
of water daily that go into the water system of MIWD. The Tigum River’s water supply and its natural flow
have been fragmented by the dam and by some man-made diversions for irrigation purposes.

The uppermost stream being the source of drinking water has been officially classified as Class ‘A’ (Maasin
Dam) and the rest of the midstream down to its mouth have been officially classified as Class “C”. Both rivers

are recipient of discharges from piggery, poultry dressing plant, paper mill, domestic waste from urban centers
where it traverses, and agricultural un-off from nearby agricultural field. It is also a source of irrigation water
to about 2,500 hectares of rice fields where irrigation system is being managed by the National Irrigation
administration (NIA).

Jaro-Tigum-Aganan River is the first pilot project for Water Quality Management Area in the Region 6. Eight
(8) sampling stations were established for water quality monitoring 3 of which were added last year for
additional monitoring data needed for its Water Quality Management Area. Table below disclosed the location
of the sampling stations where water samples were collected and analyzed in EMB Laboratory. Among these
stations, two (2) are located in Aganan River and the rest are located in Jaro-Tigum River.

One of the requirements during the Technical Scoping was to conduct the baseline water quality data.
Considering that the proposed project will not directly discharge its treated effluent to the Tigum River but
will be in the manmade irrigation canal, it was decided that sampling stations will be established at the
upstream and downstream portion of the irrigation canal.

Baseline samplings were conducted last September 13, 2021 and laboratory analysis was conducted by the
Negros Prawn Producers Cooperative Analytical and Diagnostic Laboratory. The following were the
established sampling stations along the stretch of the manmade irrigation canal leading to Tigum River:

It could be noted that there were exceedances in the BOD5 value of the downstream and upstream sampling
stations. Likewise the parameters for Total Suspended Solids at the downstream and upstream sampling
stations have exceeded the DENR Water Quality Standards.

There were also exceedances of Fecal Coliform parameters for the downstream and upstream sampling
stations based on the results of the laboratory analysis. Information gathered that possible other contributors
are the residential houses which discharges its sewage to the manmade irrigation canal.

2.2.3.3 Degradation of Coastal/Marine Water Quality

The proposed project could not contribute to the degradation of the water quality of any coastal or marine
water body since it is approximately 13.10 kilometers from the nearest marine waterbody.

Figure 13, rainfall increase is likely during the southwest monsoon

(June-July-August) season until the transition (September-October-November) season in most areas of Luzon
and Visayas, and the same is likely to happen during the northeast monsoon (December-January-February)
season, particularly, in provinces/areas characterized as Type II climate in 2020 and 2050. There is however,
generally decreasing trend in rainfall in Mindanao, especially by 2050.

There are varied trends in the magnitude and direction of the rainfall changes, both in 2020 and 2050. What
the projections clearly indicate are the likely increase in the performance of the southwest and the northeast
monsoons in the provinces exposed to these climate controls when they prevail over the country. Moreover,
the usually wet seasons become wetter with the usually dry seasons becoming also drier; and these could
lead to more occurrences of floods and dry spells/droughts, respectively.

In 2009, the Government of the Philippines initiated the implementation of the Millennium Development
Goals Fund (MDGF) Joint Programme entitled “Strengthening the Philippines’ Institutional Capacity to Adapt
to Climate Change”. It is a three-year program funded by the Government of Spain through the United Nations
Development Program (UNDP) Philippines and the various UN agencies (UNEP, FAO, WHO, UN Habitat, and
others). The three outcomes of this Joint Programme are:

• climate risk reduction mainstreamed into key national and selected local development plans and
processes;
• enhanced national and local capacity to develop, manage and administer projects addressing climate
change risks; and
• coping mechanisms improved through pilot adaptation projects.

33 | P a g e
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
PROPOSED BROILER (1 MILLION EGG-CAPACITY) HATCHERY PROJECT
Barangay Lanag, Sta. Barbara, Iloilo
PROPONENT: SMV Agro Industrial Corporation

Central to achieving the three outcomes is developing the capacity of local government units in the Philippines
to mainstream climate change adaptation in their development plans, programs and activities. Planning for
and implementing climate change adaptation will require detailed information on plausible future climates,
such as changes in temperatures, rainfall and frequency of extreme weather events. These climate
information, called climate change scenarios, are generated from climate simulations. Climate change
scenarios provide characteristics of plausible future climates and are constructed using climate models. These
are either global or regional climate models and are mathematical representations of the climate system
which simulate the physical and dynamical processes that determine global/regional climate. There is no
certainty as to how emission pathways in the future would go, inasmuch as development pathways in both
the developed and developing countries all over the globe are defined by factors such as population and
demographic characteristics, access to technology, economic development, energy use and policies pursued,
including outcomes of negotiations on greenhouse gas emission reductions.

In order to generate projections of temperature increase and rainfall change in the Philippines in the future,
the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) used the PRECIS
(Providing Regional Climates for Impact Studies) model in two time frames; 2020 and 2050. This model was
developed by the UK Met Hadley Centre (in the United Kingdom) to facilitate impact, vulnerability and
adaptation assessments in developing countries where capacities to do climate modeling are still not fully
developed or do not exist. Three of the emission scenarios developed by the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change in its Special Report on Emission Scenarios (IPCC SRES) were chosen to run the models;
namely, A2 (high-range), A1B (mid-range), and B2 (low-range). The A2 scenario is at the so-called higher end
of the emission scenarios (although not the highest), and is preferred by most countries because from an
impacts and adaptation point of view, if man can adapt to a larger climate change, then the smaller climate
changes of the lower end scenarios can also be adapted. On the other hand, the A1B scenario is considered
because the future climates in the next 30-40 years will be greatly influenced by past emissions, principally
due to the long lifetimes of carbon

Main outputs presented in this Report are the projected temperature increase in °C, magnitude and direction
of rainfall change in %, and frequency of extreme weather events (e.g., extreme temperature expressed in
number of days with maximum temperature greater than 35 °C, dry days indicated by the number of days
with less than 2.5mm of rain, and extreme rainfall or number of days with greater than 300mm of rain) in the
country.

Highlighted in this Report are the present (baseline) climates, key findings of future climates in 2020 and 2050
in the Philippines under the three emission scenarios, and how would these future climates impact on the
different key sectors and systems, including how adaptation could be pursued. The present (baseline) climate
gives the current changes in the Philippine climate in terms of temperature, rainfall and extreme events,
including tropical cyclone occurrence. The key findings on future climates (e.g., in 2020 and 2050) in each of
the provinces are presented in terms of temperature increase and rainfall change by seasons (e.g., DJF or
northeast monsoon season, MAM or summer season, JJA or southwest monsoon season, and SON or

in graphs and/or tables1.

The computation will based on the tables that are given and will provide results on the extreme temperature
expressed in number of days with maximum temperature greater than 35 °C, dry days indicated by the number
of days with less than 2.5mm of rain, and extreme rainfall or number of days with greater than 300mm of rain.
For Iloilo Province, the values that will be utilized in determining the frequency of extreme events under
medium-range emission scenario will be of Iloilo City.

For Iloilo province, the projected values in 2020 using the DJF (northeast monsoon season) and JJA
(southwest monsoon season) are:

• JJA mean temperature = (27.9 °C+2.1 °C) = 29.0 °C;

• JJA rainfall = {992.8mm+(992.8x{-0.6%})mm} = (992.8 – 5.9568) or 986.8432 mm;
• number of days with Tmax > 35 °C in Iloilo City during the 2006-2035 period (2020) = 1,431;

• number of days with rainfall > 300mm in Iloilo City during the 2006-2035 period (2020) = 5.

For Iloilo province, the projected values in 2050 using the DJF (northeast monsoon season) and JJA
(southwest monsoon season) are:

• DJF mean temperature = (26.4 °C+1.9 °C) = 28.3 °C;

• DJF rainfall = {324.8 mm+(324.8 x 20.4%)mm} = (324.8 +66.259) or 391.06mm;
• number of days with Tmax > 35 °C in Iloilo City (use Iloilo city values) during the 2036-2065 period
(2050) = 3,076;
• number of dry days in Iloilo City during the 2006-2035 period (2050) = 5,226; and
• number of days with rainfall > 300mm in Iloilo City during the 2036-2065 period (2050) = 4.

• JJA mean temperature = (27.9 °C+2.1 °C) = 30.0 °C;

• JJA rainfall = {932.8mm+(932.8x3.8%)mm} = (932.8 +35.446) or 968.246 mm;

• number of days with rainfall > 300mm in Iloilo City during the 2036-2065 period (2050) = 4.

The climate projections of 2020 and 2050 would help also the proponent identify the possible scenario during
prolonged drought “El Niño Phenomenon” or occurrence of “La Niña Phenomenon” in that way it could always
prepare the possible needed source of water for their operation of the project in the event that there will be
the depletion of groundwater sources of the project.

The project will also provide rainwater harvesting through the provision of the drums that would collect water
from the project’s down spouts and can be utilized in watering the plants and other landscaping activities of
the project.

One of the concerns of the EIA Review Committee is the adequacy and effectiveness of the drainage canal
system of the project in the event of heavy downpour. The hatchery plant was elevated 1.5 meters from the
original ground level before the construction of its foundation. Proper drainage system was provided as to
contain immediately the rainwater and discharge it to the nearby irrigation canal without contributing to the
flooding of adjacent areas.

2.3.2 Air Quality

The implementation of the project especially during the construction phase could temporarily change the air
quality of the area which could be categorized as moderate or unhealthy to sensitive groups. It is important
that mitigating measures should be implemented by the proponent.

The introduction of noise generating activities could also alter the present situation of the area especially
during the construction phase.

Noise is technically measure in terms of sound and pressure levels expressed as decibels (dB) which is the
ratios of two (2) amount of electronic or acoustic signal power equal to ten (10) times the common logarithm
of this ratio. The dB readings may be measured either on the A, B, or C network depending on the frequency
of sound, e.g. fast, slow, etc. The major source of noise pollution in the project areas comes from the passing
of motor vehicles and operation of heavy equipment.

The maximum allowable noise level for a certain area is dependent on two (2) factors, namely: a) Category of
the area e.g. residential, commercial, institutional, industrial, etc. and b) Division of twenty-four (24) hour
period, e.g. morning, daytime, evening, etc.

One of the requirements during the Technical Scoping with the EMB R6 and EIA Review Committee was to
conduct a baseline on the noise level and the ambient air quality taking into consideration the parameters for
PM10 and TSP. There were two sampling stations that were established, namely:

Location Remarks
Upwind Parameters Monitored are
(10.82931N and 122.54269E) PM10 and TSP
Downwind Parameters Monitored are
(10.83162N and 122.54002E) PM10 and TSP

The baseline sampling for the above-mentioned parameters were conducted last August 13, 2021. Summary
of the results of the ambient air quality monitoring for the PM10 and TSP parameters in both stations are
within the standards for the National Ambient air Quality Guidelines. Table below presents the summary of
the Ambient Air Quality Monitoring.

Considering that the project involves the generation of emission of air pollutants due to the burning of fossil
fuel (diesel) from the operation of its generator sets the air quality condition can be considered as moderate
or unhealthy for sensitive groups for which some members of sensitive groups may experience health effects

although the general public will not be likely affected. The plant will have two (2) units air pollution source
equipment:

• Two (2) units 175 kVA Diesel Generator Set

Process Description (For Generating Set)

All reciprocating Internal Combustion (IC) engines operate by the same basic process. A combustible mixture
is first compressed in a small volume between the head of a piston and its surrounding cylinder. The mixture
is then ignited, and the resulting high-pressure products of combustion push the piston through the cylinder.
This movement is converted from linear to rotary motion by a crankshaft. The piston returns, pushing out
exhaust gases, and the cycle is repeated.

There are 2 methods used for stationary reciprocating IC engines: compression ignition (CI) and spark ignition
(SI). This section deals with both types of reciprocating IC engines. All diesel fuelled engines are compression
ignited, and all gasoline-fuelled engines are spark ignited. In CI engines, combustion air is first compression
heated in the cylinder, and diesel fuel oil is then injected into the hot air. Ignition is spontaneous because the
air temperature is above the auto ignition temperature of the fuel.

Emissions

Most of the pollutants from IC engines are emitted through the exhaust. However, some total organic
compounds (TOC) escape from the crankcase as a result of blowby (gases that are vented from the oil pan
after they have escaped from the cylinder past the piston rings) and from the fuel tank and carburetor
because of evaporation. Nearly all of the TOCs from diesel CI engines enter the atmosphere from the exhaust.
Evaporative losses are insignificant in diesel engines due to the low volatility of diesel fuels.

The primary pollutants from internal combustion engines are oxides of nitrogen (NOx), total organic
compounds (TOC), carbon monoxide (CO), and particulates, which include both visible (smoke) and nonvisible
emissions. Nitrogen oxide formation is directly related to high pressures and temperatures during the
combustion process and to the nitrogen content, if any, of the fuel. The other pollutants, HC, CO, and smoke,
are primarily the result of incomplete combustion. Ash and metallic additives in the fuel also contribute to the
particulate content of the exhaust. Sulfur oxides (SOx) also appear in the exhaust of the Internal Combustion
Engines.

Nitrogen Oxides

Nitrogen oxide formation occurs by two fundamentally different mechanisms. The predominant mechanism
with internal combustion engines is thermal NOx which arises from the thermal dissociation and subsequent
reaction of nitrogen (N2) and oxygen (O2) molecules in the combustion air. Most thermal NOx is formed in
the high-temperature region of the flame from dissociated molecular nitrogen in the combustion air. Some
NOx, called prompt NOx, is formed in the early part of the flame from reaction of nitrogen intermediary
species, and HC radicals in the flame. The second mechanism, fuel NOx, stems from the evolution and
reaction of fuel-bound nitrogen compounds with oxygen. Gasoline, and most distillate oils have no chemically-
bound fuel N2 and essentially all NOx formed is thermal NOx.

Total Organic Compounds

39 | P a g e
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
PROPOSED BROILER (1 MILLION EGG-CAPACITY) HATCHERY PROJECT
Barangay Lanag, Sta. Barbara, Iloilo
PROPONENT: SMV Agro Industrial Corporation

The pollutants commonly classified as hydrocarbons are composed of a wide variety of organic compounds
and are discharged into the atmosphere when some of the fuel remains unburned or is only partially burned
during the combustion process. Most unburned hydrocarbon emissions result from fuel droplets that were
transported or injected into the quench layer during combustion. This is the region immediately adjacent to
the combustion chamber surfaces, where heat transfer outward through the cylinder walls causes the mixture
temperatures to be too low to support combustion.

Partially burned hydrocarbons can occur because of poor air and fuel homogeneity due to incomplete mixing,
before or during combustion; incorrect air/fuel ratios in the cylinder during combustion due to maladjustment
of the engine fuel system; excessively large fuel droplets (diesel engines); and low cylinder temperature due
to excessive cooling (quenching) through the walls or early cooling of the gases by expansion of the
combustion volume caused by piston motion before combustion is completed.

Carbon Monoxide

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, relatively inert gas formed as an intermediate combustion product
that appears in the exhaust when the reaction of CO to CO2 cannot proceed to completion. This situation
occurs if there is a lack of available oxygen near the hydrocarbon (fuel) molecule during combustion, if the gas
temperature is too low, or if the residence time in the cylinder is too short. The oxidation rate of CO is limited
by reaction kinetics and, as a consequence, can be accelerated only to a certain extent by improvements in
air and fuel mixing during the combustion process.

Smoke and Particulate Matter

White, blue, and black smoke may be emitted from IC engines. Liquid particulates appear as white smoke in
the exhaust during an engine cold start, idling, or low load operation. These are formed in the quench layer
adjacent to the cylinder walls, where the temperature is not high enough to ignite the fuel. Blue smoke is
emitted when lubricating oil leaks, often past worn piston rings, into the combustion chamber and is partially
burned. Proper maintenance is the most effective method of preventing blue smoke emissions from all types
of IC engines. The primary constituent of black smoke is agglomerated carbon particles (soot) formed in
regions of the combustion mixtures that are oxygen deficient.

Sulfur Oxides

Sulfur oxides emissions are a function of only the sulfur content in the fuel rather than any combustion
variables. In fact, during the combustion process, essentially all the sulfur in the fuel is oxidized to SO2. The
oxidation of SO2 gives sulfur trioxide (SO3), which reacts with water to give sulfuric acid (H2 SO4), a
contributor to acid precipitation. Sulfuric acid reacts with basic substances to give sulfates, which are fine
particulates that contribute to PM-10 and visibility reduction. Sulfur oxide emissions also contribute to
corrosion of the engine parts.

Computation for the Emissions of Each Pollutant (Stand-by Power Generating set , capacity-750 kVA)

Emission factors are from EPA AP 42, 3.3 Gasoline and Diesel Industrial Engines & 3.4 Large Stationary Diesel
and All Stationary Dual-Fuel Engines 10/96.

It is important that the air pollution source equipment to have their air pollution control devices maintained
and working effectively and efficiently. In doing so would minimize the impacts on air pollution in the project
site and its surrounding areas.

Furthermore, proponent must comply with the requirements of Republic Act No, 8749 of the Philippine Clean
Air Act of 1999. Emission standards shall be based on mass rate of emission for all stationary source of air
pollution based on implementing Rules and Regulations of R.A. 8749. The standards shall be the limit on the

acceptable level of pollutants emitted from a stationary source for the protection of the public’s health and
welfare.

Permit to Operate must be secured from the Environmental Management Bureau for the above- mentioned
air pollution source and control equipment.

2.4 The People

2.4.1 Identify settlers that will be displaced from among the existing settlers

The project site was previously an idle land and presently there are no affected families or settlers particularly
to the proposed areas for the construction of hatchery plant.

2.4.2 Discuss the in-migration patterns impact as a result of project implementation

With the implementation of the proposed project the increase of possible migrants in the project area could
be considered significant due to the job opportunities that the project has offered. Once the positions have
been filled up, only the indirect labor related to the project will be considered in the possible in-migration
patterns. There is also the understanding of the proponent and the Local Government Unit on prioritizing
local residents when hiring to minimize if not eliminate in-migration in the area caused by the proposed
project.

2.4.3 Discuss the impacts on IPs and Culture/lifestyle (if any)

There are no indigenous people (IPs) in the project area. The migration of different kinds of people from
other areas (if there is any) could change the culture/lifestyle in some other way but such alteration will be
considered very negligible. The impact of this proposed project as far as lifestyle is concern is indirect,
through tax revenues. More revenues for the municipality mean more access to government services, e.g.
health, sports and livelihood. More revenues also means, the municipality’s economic growth are strong and
would result in opening of new opportunities for investors.

2.4.4 Discuss the project implementation's threat to public health vis-a-vis the baseline health conditions
in the area

During the operational phase, the health conditions in the area will primarily be dependent to the health,
environment and safety programs of the proponent. For the expansion project activities of the project, prior
to the commencement of the construction phase the workers/personnel involved will be briefed on the health
and safety aspects of the activities. The people involved will adhere to the policies in health and safety to
avoid any untoward accidents.

2.4.5 Discuss local benefits expected from project implementation

42 | P a g e
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
PROPOSED BROILER (1 MILLION EGG-CAPACITY) HATCHERY PROJECT
Barangay Lanag, Sta. Barbara, Iloilo
PROPONENT: SMV Agro Industrial Corporation

The expected local benefits from the implementation of the proposed project will be opportunities for
temporary work during the construction phase, additional job opportunities during the operational phase
due to the operation of the Broiler Hatchery Project and payment of local taxes which will have a domino
effect on the delivery of basic services.

2.4.6 Discuss how the project would affect the delivery of basic services and resource competition in the
area

Considering that the project falls within the industrial zone, it could spur for the competition of other project
related businesses. It could also help the host barangay with its social development programs. The timely
payment of local taxes will help improve the provision of the basic services that the local government of Sta.
Barbara is giving.

2.4.7 Discuss how the project would affect traffic situation in the area

The project could affect traffic situation in the area during the construction and operational phases if the
proponent will not implement the proper traffic management plan. It is vital that there should be the
scheduling of the hauling of raw materials and finished products and proper designation of parking areas
inside and outside the project area.

2.4.8 Identify entity to be accountable for environmental management in the area

The proponent will be responsible for the environmental management of the area. It will establish an
Environmental Unit that is responsible in all the issues and concerns pertaining to the compliance of the
proponent’s activities to the existing environmental laws. The unit will be composed of a Pollution Control
Officer (PCO) and its members. In-house monitoring will be conducted by this unit from the construction
phase up to the abandonment phase.

2.4.9 Discuss how the project would affect existing properties in the area in terms of relocation and
devaluation

The project area and the adjacent areas/properties will have an increased land value since the areas mostly
fall within the industrial zone of the Municipality and due to the economic activities of the project. There will
no devaluation of the project area and adjacent areas.

Age-Sex Population Distribution

Sex Distribution

In the 2007 National Statistics Office survey, females outnumbered males by 300, that is 23,188 females over
22,888 males, a ratio of 99 males for every 100 females. The same trend may hold true by year 2005 to 2015
where in females outnumber males.

Age Distribution

Figure 14 and Table 7 shows that in 2007 ages 5-9 have the most number of population having 4,917 (both
sexes) while ages 80 and over have the least with only 597. Moreover, classifying the present age distribution
of population to child and youth population would reveal that a large portion of the population belongs to
child and youth with a population of 33,635 or approximately 73% of the total population.

Consequently, with a large percentage of the population belonging to the child and youth, we can foresee
that a large potential labor force will be joining the labor market of the municipality ten years later. The more
workers will be joining the labor force the better it will be for the municipality to be economically productive.

Solid Waste Management of the Muncipality of Sta. Barbara

The wastes of the municipality consist of solid wastes classified as biodegradable, non-biodegradable, residual
wastes and special and hazardous wastes. With the enactment of RA 9003 otherwise known as the Ecological
Waste Management Act the municipality was challenged to undertake the program. With the implementation
of the said program in 2002, the Local Government Unit of Sta. Barbara had been a recipient of several national
awards.

The Ecological Solid Waste Management Program of the municipality adopted the “ No Segregation, No
Collection Policy “. With this, solid waste coming from the residential and commercial establishments are
segregated from the source and are stored in containers like plastic bags, polyethylene garbage bags, broken
pails or cans. The Sanitary Technician under the Municipal Environmental and Natural Resources Office
(MENRO) schedules the collections of garbage. Wastes collected everyday are brought to the Material
Recovery Facility 1 (MRF 1) located at the Eco-Park in Barangay Daga. Final sorting is conducted at MRF 1 for
sale, reusing and recycling. The biodegradable materials are shredded and made into compost.

Wastes coming from the public market are segregated at MRF 2 within the site. The non-biodegradable wastes
are transported to the MRF 1 at Eco Park for final sorting. Biodegradable materials are shredded and
processed into compost both at the MRF 1 and MRF 2. There are two methods used in composting. One is
done with the use of vermin called African Night Crawlers. Product of this process is called vermicast which is
harvested every 2 weeks. Another method of composting is with the use compost fungus activator (CFA) called
trichogramma. This process is being done with the incorporation of animal waste to the shredded
biodegradable materials. Composts produced from these two methods are used in the Eco Park and
Gulayanng Bayan while some are for sale.

The proportion of households with access to sanitary manner of garbage disposal provides statistics on the
environmental living conditions essential for the formulation of plans and programs to improve general health
conditions.

The solid waste management of the project will be handled by the proponent in coordination with the
contracted party for the proper disposal of wastes (egg shells and general garbage). Dead chicks after hatching
will be sold to interested third parties engaged usually in catfish production.

Health and Sanitation of the Municipality of Sta. Barbara

The top most priority of the present administration in the municipality is health and sanitation. This requires
the participation of both government and nongovernment organization/ institution which are directly
involved in the delivery of basic health services.

The Municipality of Santa Barbara is strategically located in the centermost of the province. It is a twenty-
minute drive from the city of Iloilo. It is accessible via any land transportation and air through the Iloilo Airport

of International Standard. It has 60 barangays with a total population of 51, 075 as of 2007. The health
situation of the municipality for the last 3 years shows that in every year, there is slight increase in the crude
birth rate from 18.7% of 2008 to 20% of 2010 and with a fertility rate of 91 per 1000 as of 2010.

Health is cared for by 29 health personnel headed by the municipal health officer. There are 8 Barangay Health
Stations, 1 main health center and 5 satellite substations. The municipal health staff consists of 1 municipal
health officer, a medical officer V, 2 public health nurses, 3 sanitation inspectors, a dentist and a dental aide,
a medical technologist, laboratory assistant, 18 midwives and 4 health aides. Regular trainings and seminars
are provided for to enhance knowledge and skills of health personnel.

The institution renders the following services:

• Maternal and child health

The municipal health center is open 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Medicines were provided but on a limited
basis only. It is Philhealth accredited for OPD package and TB DOTS package. It is Phil CAT/DOTS certified
facility and it is also accredited as Sentrong Sigla level I phase II. It has 2 ambulances manned by 5 ambulance
drivers. There are 310 Barangay Health Workers (BHW) who are assisting the midwives in their work. They are
volunteer workers.

There are 60 Barangay Nutrition Scholars who help in the nutrition program implementation. The Nutrition
program is handled by the Municipal Nutrition Committee headed by the municipal Mayor. The members are
from the different departments as well as the NGO’s. They meet monthly to discuss the nutrition programs of
the LGU.

In 2002 and 2003, Sta. Barbara was adjudged as the most outstanding municipality in the implementation of
the nutrition program in the whole province.

3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL RISK ASSESSMENT (ERA) & EMERGENCY

RESPONSE POLICY AND GUIDELINES

It is important that first we have to make a common understanding on what environmental risk assessment
is all about. One of the definitions of environmental risk assessment is the method used to understand
whether contaminants or hazardous substances may be harming the human health or the environment. It is
within this premise that we will be able to discuss thoroughly if the project will have an environmental risk to
human beings or to the environment. Based on this definition the project does generate environmental risks
with the containment of flammable and toxic substances (diesel).

Based on the guidelines of DAO 30, Series of 2003 (Implementing Rules and Regulations of Presidential Decree
No. 1586, Establishing the Philippine Environmental Impact Statement System) particularly Annex 7e
(Procedural Guidelines for Scoping of Environmental Risk Assessment (ERA)), the project is assessed for any
contaminants or hazardous substances that may be stored at the project site that might harm the human
health of the environment. Table below presents the substance stored on-site with its capacity.

Table 11. Substance Stored On-Site with its Capacities

Substance Category Storage Capacities

The phrase environmental risk is taken to mean a specific substance, such as asbestos or PCBs or CFCs or lead
and in this case the above-mentioned substances that are stored on-site and would be the sources of the risk.
In reality, the issue is far more complex and until the full complexity is understood, the impact of an
environmental risk cannot be evaluated from either a management or a property value impact point of view.

Environmental risks are not simply the presence or absence of a single substance. They are in fact the source
of the risks and the conditions which surround the risk source; how it is controlled, how a target may become
endangered, and the extent of danger. This section treats the risk source and the surrounding context of the
existence of the risk source as a whole (the risk system), discusses how this approach defines and determines
the identification and management of the risk system, and how the management and control of the risk
system any impact the value of the stakeholder’s interests.

The Environmental Risk System

An environmental risk must be viewed not as a substance, but as a system of components that govern the
risk. Figure 15 sets out the four major components of the environmental risk system and their relationship to
each other.

Figure 15. The Environmental Risk System of Proposed Broiler (1 Million Egg-Capacity) Hatchery Project

The Risk Source

The risk source is what we most commonly refer to when we think about environmental risks for this kind of
project the risk source is diesel that will be stored at the plant site. This source of the risk and without it
there simply would be no environmental risk. Some risk sources can conceivably be eliminated, while others
cannot. Both risk sources have both positive and negative aspects.

The Primary Control Mechanism

The primary control mechanism is the means by which a risk source is controlled to render it both useful and
relatively benign. Useful with respect to the function it performs and benign with respect to damage to human

50 | P a g e

PROPONENT: SMV Agro Industrial Corporation

health and/or the environment. The basic problem of environmental risk management is not whether or not
the risk source exists, but whether or not it is under control. The cost to establish and maintain control, or to
remove the risk source if adequate control cannot be established and maintained, determine the value impact
of the presence of a risk source.

The primary control mechanism almost always consists of two major components a physical component in
the form of some device that directly maintains the risk source in a benign state, and a human component
that interacts to ensure that the physical component functions as intended. Both components must function
for the risk source to be both useful and benign.

The Transport and Secondary Control Mechanisms

If the primary control mechanism(s) fail, the question will become one of whether or not a transport
mechanism is available to move the risk source into the immediate presence of a target, and how efficiently
that transport mechanism is likely to function. The USEPA has identified in its Hazard Ranking System, five
transport modes: surface water, ground water, air movement, direct contact, and fire/explosion.

Inextricably associated with the transport mechanism are a number of possible secondary control mechanisms
that may be either natural or artificial in origin. Like the primary control mechanisms, the secondary control
mechanisms must be evaluated in order to determine efficiency of the transport mechanism in moving the
risk source to the target in sufficient concentration to result damage. In many cases, the analysis of secondary
control mechanisms can lead to the development of significant risk reduction strategies that improve the
risk/benefit relationship.

The Target

Targets are basically of two forms: human and sensitive environments, of the two, the human target is of the
greatest concern and considerable resources must be allocated to the analysis of the relationship between
the components of the risk system to determine the likely impacts on targets.

The overall analysis of a target is governed by the negative default principle. This implies that the number of
possible targets, the probable impacts on targets, and the failure of primary control mechanisms must be in a
“worst case” scenario. The mitigating factors are the efficiency and availability of the transport/secondary
control mechanisms, the probability of use of the transport mechanism, and the probability of failure of the
primary control mechanisms.

Human Component:
As part of the duties and responsibilities of some
personnel they are mandated to regularly
monitor the storage tank for any leakages in the
tank and immediately call the attention of the
Supervisor-in-charge or the Plant Manager.

Regular monitoring and maintenance check on

the piping and storage tank

Component The Broiler Hatchery Project

The first transport mechanism in the event that

the primary and secondary control mechanisms
have failed to address the risk source is the
groundwater considering that diesel could
percolate to the groundwater resources in the
area.

The second transport mechanism will be the

surface water which is the nearby manmade
irrigation canal leading to Tigum River.

The third mechanism which is fire/explosion

should be avoided at all costs. .

There is also the training of personnel and staff on

in case of such emergencies and they are updated
regularly.

Secondary Control Mechanisms The storage tank will be provided with gauges to
determine leakage and bund walls to ensure that
it will address the 1st and second transport
mechanisms.

4.3 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PLAN (EMoP)

In the previous chapters there was the presentation of the key potential impacts of the project and the mitigating measures that will be undertaken by the
proponent to minimize the adverse impacts. It is imperative that a compliance monitoring shall be conducted to check whether the mitigating measures that are
implemented have been effective to address the potential impacts that the project might generate. An Environmental Monitoring Plan is being presented showing
the key environmental aspects per project phase, parameters to be monitored, the sampling and measurement plan, lead person and the annual estimated cost.
Considering that the report is an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), the discussion on the monitoring plan will focus on the construction and operational
phases only. The monitoring of the abandonment phase will be based once the proponent has provided the details of the abandonment plan to EMB.

5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE MONITORING

SMV Agro Industrial Corporation will be complying with the environmental laws that are being
mandated by the Environmental Management Bureau Region VI, particularly with Republic Act 8749
(Philippine Clear Air Act of 1999), Republic Act 9275 (Philippine Clean Water Act of 2004), Presidential
Decree 1586 (Philippine Environmental Impact Statement System) and Republic Act 6969 (Toxic
Substances and Hazardous and Nuclear Wastes Control Act of 1990). The Environmental Unit that
will be established will be complying with the EMB requirements specifically the Self-Monitoring
Reports (SMRs), Permit to Operate (Air Pollution Source and Control Installations) and Discharge
Permit (Wastewater).

6.0 SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN/FRAMEWORK (SDP) AND IEC

FRAMEWORK
In this study the SDP and IEC that were undertaken by the proponent is being presented. IEC will also
include the briefing of personnel/staff and workers about the responsibilities of the company to
comply with the environmental laws.

The Social Development Program of the company will vary each year but the following activities will
be adopted by the management on a yearly basis:

• Adopt Estero/River Clean-up

• Earth Hour and World Without Waste
• Fire Prevention Month
• Tree Planting

In every activity of the proponent on its social development program, there is always the information,
education and communication component that is being undertaken so that those who are involved in
the said activities would be aware of the social responsibilities of the proponent and the reason why
they are doing these activities.

7.0 DECOMMISSIONING / ABANDONMENT /REHABILITATION

POLICY
The abandonment and decommissioning plan for the plant can be formulated six months before
actual abandonment and decommissioning. The proponent commits to submit said plan should the
project reach its’ economic or service life. This is normally the case for projects such as the Broiler
Hatchery Project since its economic and service life can reach up to 15 years (and even beyond with
proper maintenance and operations), which is beyond the normal planning horizon.

The plan would include the discussion on the activities, the manpower needed and the estimated
cost it will incur during the implementation of this phase.

8.0 INSTITUTIONAL PLAN FOR EMP IMPLEMENTATION

8.1 Creation of the Environmental Unit (EU)

It is very important that the proponent will create the Environmental Unit (EU) at the very earliest
stage of the project. The Environmental Unit will be responsible in carrying the environmental
monitoring and other related programs of the proponent. The EU will be responsible and tasked in
coordinating with the concerned National Agencies (NAs), Local Government Units (LGUs) in the
implementation of the environmental programs of the project so as to minimize the impacts
generated to the environment.

The EU is composed of five persons with the following positions:

Position Number
Hatchery Plant Manager (Managing Head) 1
Pollution Control Officer 1
Assistants 2

The Pollution Control Officer will be under the supervision of the Hatchery Plant Manager. The
Hatchery Plant Manager will supervise those operational activities related to the compliance of the
company to environmental regulations and in the environmental related activities/commitments of
the company. The Pollution Control Officer will be the point person of the company with regards to
the compliance of the project with the requirements of the environmental laws being implemented.

There will be two members that will assist the PCO to its designated tasks in order to fulfil the
functions of the EU. Figure 16 shows the proposed the broiler hatchery project’s Environmental Unit
Organizational Chart.

Goals/Objectives

• Aim at producing quality chicks for poultry broiler projects and satisfy customers’ needs
by providing a strong and up to date technical support, making use of the latest
technologies in egg hatchery while continually striving to provide safe working conditions
and striving to reduce our impact to the environment.

PURPOSE OF THE EIA PROCESS IN THE PROPOSED PROJECT

Consistent with the principles of sustainable development, it is the policy of the DENR to
implement a systems-oriented and integrated approach to the EIS system to ensure a rational
balance between socio-economic development and environmental protection for the benefit
of present and future generations. The following are the key operating principles in the
implementation of the Philippine EIS System:

The EIS System is concerned primarily with assessing the direct and indirect impacts of a
project on the biophysical and human environment and ensuring that these impacts are
addressed by appropriate environmental protection and enhancement measures.

The EIS System aids Proponent in incorporating environmental considerations in planning

their projects as well as in determining the environment’s impact on their project.

Project Rationale

According to the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), the chicken industry accounted for 14.72% of
the total value of agriculture output, equivalent to P25.941 billion, in the third quarter. In the third
quarter of 2017 and 2018, the industry accounted for 13.27% and 13.96%, respectively.

Volume of production grew 8.48% to 465,150 metric tons (MT) during the third quarter of 2019. The
PSA noted that increased production was brought by increased demand as consumers shift from pork
to chicken due to the African Swine Fever (ASF) outbreak.

In 2019, the total number of chickens in poultry farming in the Philippines was around 186.4 million
heads. The entire inventory of chickens in the Philippines has increased over the last ten years.

Based on the performance of Philippine Agriculture (for January to March 2019), poultry output which
contributed 16.74 percent to the total agricultural production registered a 5.41 percent increment in
the first quarter of 2019.

The aggregate chicken demand is projected to increase from about 1.4 million MT in 2017 to 1.6
million MT in 2020 to about 1.8 million MT by 2023.

The demand for chicken meat has increased in the previous years which opted businesses to focus in
broiler poultry projects. However, due to the regular demand of poultry in the market, the broiler
poultry growers are facing some shortages in the supply of one-day old quality chicks in the market
which prompted others to focus in the hatchery production of broiler chicks. It is within this premise
that the proponent plans to construct and operate a broiler hatchery project to compensate the
demands for quality one-day old chicks.

Project Cost:

The total project cost is estimated to be PhP 8,625,098.71.
