III. ABANDONMENT /DECOMMISSIONING/REHABILITATION POLICIES AND GENERIC

GUIDELINES (if Applicable) Project Life or Service: for PVC pipelines: 50 years Provide description of the Abandonment activities, such as, dismantling and waste disposal. Water system projects undertaken by the Zamboanga City Water District are designed to serve the water supply demands of the public for the maximum period of time, taking into consideration the capital and operational expenses. However, for pipelines, their replacement will be made upon the expiration of their expected lifespan. Upon such time, the old pipelines will be replaced and decommissioned. By practice, old pipelines are decommissioned and the new lines are used in their place. The pipelines are left underground for to actually remove the same would entail greater cost. However, the exposed pipelines (G.I.) that will be replaced in the future would have to be returned to the ZCWD Motor pool Warehouse for appropriate disposal. Concrete structures on the other hand, would be rehabilitated as the need arises to ensure the integrity of the structures.

IV. INSTITUTIONAL PLAN FOR EMP IMPLEMENTATION

The Zamboanga City Water District is a dynamic organization whose growth through the years has been driven by the challenges facing it.

It is led by a 5-member Board of Directors (representing women, business, civic service

clubs, professionals, education) appointed by the local chief executive. Board members elect the Chairman, Vice Chairman and Board Secretary.

A General Manager appointed by the Board Chairman and confirmed by the Civil Service

Commission handles the operations of the organization. He is supported by a Legal & Management Services Department.

Two major operations Groups carry out the administrative and operational activities of the

Zamboanga City Water District, supervising various departments under their areas of concern. The heads of the departments, the Assistant General Managers who head the two major

groups, and the General Manager make up the Executive Committee. This Execom is the management group supporting the Board of Directors in execution of policies, programs, and projects (Source: ZCWD: A Living Tradition of Service Agua es Vida, brochure).

Policies pertaining to the implementation of Environmental Management Plan, after having

been prepared by a particular committee, or in this case the Planning and Design Division, will have to be approved by higher management and the Board of Directors, especially if it entails budget appropriation. However, if the costs have already been integrated in the construction/operation and maintenance costs, the approval for the implementation of the EMP may be raised to the Assistant General Manager for Operations.
