EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The proposed project for Pasig BLISS, more popularly known as CanioganBLISS because of its location in Barangay Caniogan, is one of twenty three (23)sub-projects of the Community Sanitation Project Phase I, which is a componentof the World Bank-assisted Manila Second Sewerage Project (MSSP).
The project is intended to reduce the current wastewater pollution discharged tothe Marikina/Pasig River by the one hundred forty four (144) residential unitswithin the Caniogan BLISS compound. The project invclves the improvement andrehabilitation of the sewerage system in the compound. Specifically, the projectincludes the construction of sewer lines to intercept sewage flows from existingcommunal septic tanks as well as raw wastewater flows from buildings withoutseptic tanks. An underground centralized sewage treatment plant (STP) will beconstructed to treat the wastewater flows.
Approvals for the project were obtained through a community consultationprocess, through the Homeowners' Association Board officers. An endorsementletter from the Barangay Council of Barangay Ugong was obtained to facilitatethe process. Finally, a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) among Manila WaterCompany, Home Guaranty Corporation (HGC), and the Homeowners'Association Board in Caniogan BLISS was executed.
In conformity with the requirements of the Department of Environment andNatural Resources (DENR), an Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC)NCR-2000-10-04-0218-120 issued pursuant to P.D. 1586 was secured for theproject.
I. BASELINE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
Caniogan BLISS is a government settlement housing project implemented in the1980s to provide homes for public officials and the less fortunate. The housingproject is situated in the heart of Pasig City, within a one-kilometer radius fromthe City Hall. It is located along Colonel Licsi street, Barangay Maybunga whichis just a few meters away from Dr. Sixto Anonio Avenue (west), Pasig BoulevardExtension (south) and C. Raymundo Avenue (east). The area is bounded byprivate lots on the west, southeast and northwest sides and Colonel Licsi Streeton the east and southeast.
The Caniogan BLISS compound has a total land area of fourteen thousand twohundred seventy four (14,274) square meters, more or less, 17% of which areresidential areas, 4% roads, and 79% parking spaces, playgrounds and commonareas. The housing compound is composed of nine (9) four-story, walk-up,residential buildings with sixteen (16) units per building and an estimatedpopulation of 900 individuals.
7
Floral population within the compound constitutes ornamental plants and a fewfruit trees, which were planted by the residents. Faunal population is limited tohousehold pets and stray animals. The area is characterized by a relatively evendistribution of precipitation during the year. Like in most parts of Metro Manila,the community has two distinct seasons: the dry season during the months ofNovember to May and the wet season during the months of June to October.
Existing Sewerage System
At present, there are seven (7) existing communal septic tanks serving the nine(9) residential buildings. However, only four (4) of the seven (7) tanks arefunctional. The rest have been bypassed and wastewater flows directly to thenearest drainage. Due to the poor maintenance of the communal septic tanks,some buildings opted to construct their own septic tanks. The discharge istapped to the drainage line along Colonel Licsi Street and eventually drains toMarikina River.
The sewerage system in Caniogan BLISS consists of Cast Iron Pipe sewernetwork laid during the development of the area, except for some new pipes,made of Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), laid by individual units who installed theirindividual septic tanks.
The sewer network was designed so that wastewater flows will be directed toseven (7) communal septic vaults. At present, the sewerage system of CanioganBLISS is not maintained. Some of the clean-outs are buried and can be hardlylocated. Many sewer lines are either clogged or broken so that some residentsopted to construct their own septic tanks or directly tapped to the drainage. Whilethe other four (4) communal septic tanks are still functional, most residents stillcomplain about the maintenance cost and arrangements.

1.3 PROJECT RATIONALE
In Metro Manila, untreated/partially treated domestic wastewater is the majorsource of pollution of inland waters. Most residential houses in Metro Manilatreat their wastewater by means of septic tanks, which do not provide adequatetreatment to satisfy the DENR requirements for wastewater effluent standards.Moreover, majority of septic tanks in Metro Manila is not properly maintained.This situation has led to the deterioration of the Marikina/Pasig River and otherinland waters. The DENR has estimated that around 60% of the pollution load toPasig River come from domestic discharges.
There is therefore an urgent need to establish collection and treatment methodsthat will help reduce the pollution load to inland waters. The provision of anefficient and cost-effective sewage collection, treatment and disposal is theprimary objective of the Community Sanitation Project under the MSSP.
This project specifically aims to address the problems of inadequate wastewatertreatment and disposal in Caniogan BLISS as shown by the analysis of theeffluent of one of the septic tanks in the area (see Table 1 below). In CanioganBLISS, wastewater, either from the septic tanks or straight from the households,discharge to the drainage pipes along Colonel Licsi Street, and eventually find itsway to Marikina River. Figure 2 shows the existing sewer network in CanioganBLISS.
The project will help reduce public health risks and environmental pollution fromuntreated/partially treated domestic wastewater by providing a sustainablesanitation and sewerage facility. It will also serve as a good illustration of propersanitation especially to the neighboring communities near Pasig and MarikinaRivers.

1.4.2 Operational Phase
1.4.2.1 Project Operation Schedule and Duration
Completion of construction is expected by August 2002. Start-up operations willbegin immediately after project completion.
1.4.2.2 Process Technology and Activities
The project will be bid on the basis of performance specifications for the STPTreatment Process:
* Wastewater flows were computed on the basis of a per capita water demandof 200 liters per day and a 70% wastewater discharge. Storm infiltration wasestimated at 10% of the total flows. A peak factor of 1.5 was added in thecomputation of design flows to determine pipes sizes and capacity of STP.
* The influent flow characteristics were based on random laboratory analysesof septic tank effluent in Caniogan BLISS and the other project sites. Theinfluent quality assumptions are shown in Table 3 below:

Process Scheme of STP
The STP to be constructed in Caniogan BLISS will be below ground. The onlyaboveground structure will be the control room/panel.
The STP treatment process will provide secondary treatment to septic tankeffluent. It is expected that bidders will propose different process technologiesbased on the performance specifications in the bid documents. Some factorswhich will be considered in selecting the STP treatment process are:
* Suitability in project site* Performance/Treatment efficiency* Capital and Replacement costs* Operations and Maintenance Costs* Complexity of operations* Flexibility of treatment process
A general scheme for the treatment process is illustrated in Figure 5.
1.4.2.3 Waste Production Scheme
Up to 2005, sludge produced in the treatment process will be transported to acentralized Septage Sea Disposal Station located in J.P. Rizal St, Brgy, WestRembo, Makati City. Mobile vacuum tankers will collect the sludge produced inthe STP.

A long-term disposal scheme for biosolids from the STP will be as soilconditioner for sugarcane and corn in Pampanga. Experiments done incoordination with the Sugar Regulatory Administration on the use of sludge inenhancing the soil quality of lahar-covered areas and the growth of crops such assugarcane, corn and bittergourd resulted in the issuance of a temporary licenseissued by the Fertilizer and Pesticide Authority. The license allows the use ofsludge in growing similar crops.
Sludge generated from the STP can also be treated in the 600 cu.m/day septagetreatment facility which is expected to be operational by 2004. This facility is partof the Sanitation Component of the Pasig River Rehabilitation Project. Thefacility will be operated by Manila Water Company. Stabilized sludge may alsobe used as filling material.
1.4.2.4 Manpower Requirement
Manila Water Company will assign an LLDA and DENR-accredited PollutionControl Officer (PCO) who will be responsible for the compliance of the STP withgovernment regulations. The PCO will have trained operators/crew who willmonitor and manage the operation of the sewer network.
Since the STP operations will be operated largely by automation, regularmaintenance works will include declogging of sewer lines and removal of sludgefrom the STP site and the communal septic tanks. The STP operator will visit theproject site daily. Monitoring of the effluent quality will be the joint responsibilityof the PCO and the Central Laboratory of Manila Water Company.
The community has also agreed to provide a liaison officer who will coordinatewith Manila Water Company personnel on the proper operations of the STP andthe sewer network. A 24-hour Customer Service Hotline (1627) is available toaccept complaints and other emergency reports. Manila Water Company hassewer network repair crews who work in regular round-the-clock 8-hour shiftsand who are readily available for any emergency work.
1.4.3 Abandonment Phase
Upon completion of the project scope, the contractor will remove all temporarystructures and facilities installed during the construction phase. All pavementswill be restored. The cost of abandonment will be incorporated in the overall costof the project. Manila Water Company will issue a certificate of final acceptanceonly upon completion of all abandonment works by the contractor and uponturnover of the STP operations.

2.0 BASELINE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
2.1 STUDY METHODOLOGY
This Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) was prepared in compliance with theWorld Bank's Operational Directive 4.01 on Environmental Assessment. An IEEwas previously carried out according to the DENR Administrative Order No. 96-37, for which an Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) dated Oct. 4, 2001has been issued by the DENR-Regional Office (Annex 3).
2.2 LAND
2.2.1 Land Resource Utilization
Caniogan BLISS has an estimated land area of 1.4274 hectares. Approximately17% of the total area is devoted to residential use, 4% to roads, 79% recreationaluse, chapel, parking area, and other common-use facilities.
2.2.2 Physiography and Geology
Caniogan BLISS is on a relatively flat plain sloping downward to Dr. SixtoAntonio Avenue and Marikina River in the east.
Soil type found in the site is quaternary alluvium which is characterized by detritaldeposits, mostly silt, sand and gravel.
2.2.3 Vegetation and Wildlife
The proposed site for the STP is in a 120-square meter lot in a vacant areabetween Building I and Building 9. Figure 6 shows photographs of the proposedsite.
The following species of plants are found in the STP site:1 Avocado Persea americana 2 Guyabano Annona muricata1 Kaimito Chrysophyllum cainito 1 Aratiles Muntingia calabura2 Atis Annona squamosa 1 Balete Ficus Benjamina2 Kamias Averrhoa bilimbi1 Langka Artocarpus heterophylla4 Mango Mangifera indica1 Santol Sandoricum koetjape3 Calamansi Citrus microcarpa Bunge
Faunal population is limited to household pets.

2.2.4 Land Acquisition Assessment
Manila Water will be allowed to use a parcel of land for the STP by way of a grantof perpetual easement from the owner/developer of the community, which in thisproject is the Home Guaranty Corporation (HGC). The STP site is free frominformal settlers.
2.3 Water
2.3.1 Inventory of Water Bodies
Marikina River is located approximately 150 meters northwest of CanioganBLISS. Wastewater flows from the compound enters the communal septic tanksthen the drainage system before discharge to the Marikina River.
At present, the Marikina and Pasig River do not meet the Class C standards (i.e.,suitable for propagation and growth of fishes, recreational uses and industrialwater supply) especially during the summer months when there is no sufficientriver flow. At these times, the BOD in Pasig River reaches 120 mg/L which is 12times higher than the permitted level for Class C water; DO drops to zero; andtotal coliforms exceed the MPN/100 ml standard by up to several thousanddegrees.
The current BOD loading entering the Pasig River is estimated at 242 tons/daywhich is 21% above the river's estimated maximum assimilative capacity.Domestic wastewater contributes 168 tons/day of BOD. Without any sewerageor sanitation interventions, the pollution load entering the river is expected toincrease to 269 tons/day in year 2005, which is expected to come from domesticsewage.
2.3.2 Water Quality (Surface/Ground)
Surface Water QualitY. Pollution loading to Marikina and Pasig Rivers will bereduced since septic tanks and raw wastewater from the project area will nolonger be discharged directly to the creek. Effluent from the plant will comply withDENR Effluent Quality standards sufficient for Class C waters.
Ground Water Quality. Since septic tank effluent will undergo further treatment inthe plant, the possibility of contaminating the aquifers due to leachate from septictank discharge or from raw wastewater will be eliminated. Seepage from plantoperations will be non-existent.
27
2.4 AIR
Pasig City experiences only two types of weather conditions, rainy season andthe dry season. Rainy season occurs between the months of July and October,while the dry season occurs between November and June. Mean annualtemperature is 27.40C and average annual relative humidity is 77% for MetroManila.
Air quality within Caniogan BLISS is moderately unpolluted. However, outsidethe compound is a national road (Pasig Boulevard Extension), and two busyavenues (Dr. Sixto Antonio Avenue and C. Raymundo Avenue) where public andprivate vehicles exhaust vehicle*fumes contributing to minor air pollution in thearea especially during rush hours.
2.5 PEOPLE
2.5.1 Population
The estimated population of Caniogan BLISS based on the present number ofresidential units (144), is around 900. Majority of the residents are low- tomiddle-income earners.
2.5.2 Project Affected Persons
During construction, the project will cause noise nuisance to the nearby residentsof the site and will add to the traffic outside of the compound. Once operational,the project will directly affect the residents of the entire Caniogan BLISS. Thesanitation of the community will be improved when the new sewer system isoperational.
Manila Water will assign skilled personnel to operate and maintain the system upto approved standards.
3.0 ALTERNATIVES
Caniogan BLISS is considered a priority area for the improvement of sanitationconditions based on the following factors:
* It has a relatively high population density.* The existing sanitation facilities are inadequate to comply with the DENR
effluent standards.* The communal sanitation and drainage systems in the compound are not
maintained.* Some buildings are directly discharging raw wastewater to the drainage.
28
Only two sites were identified as possible locations for the STP. The abandonedtennis court near Building 5 and Building 7 and the vacant area near Building 9and Building 1. The latter site was chosen as the STP site because of itselevation and size. The project will also discourage informal settling in the site.

4.1.1 Impacts During Construction Phase
A. Air Quality
During the implementation of the project, an increase in emission of dust andsuspended particulates will occur in the vicinity of the STP site and excavationsfor the sewer pipes. This can be attributed to civil works such as excavation,disposal of excess soil and other related construction activities. Another causewill be emission of fumes and other air pollutants of the vehicles to be used.
B. Water Quality
There is minimal effect on the quality of water in Marikina and Pasig Rivers sincethe site is quite distant from these bodies of water. Wastewater resulting fromwashing of tools and equipment may affect the turbidity of the drainage flows.
C. Noise
Noise will be generated during the construction of the project due to theoperation of equipment and construction activities. Considering that theproposed site for the project is near the residential buildings, proper mitigatingmeasures will be done to ensure that the equipment and activities will cause littleor no disturbance to the residents.
Heavy equipment will be monitored to operate only in short periods of time toavoid sustained high level of noise. The operator of heavy equipment will berequired to pause work for 10-15 minutes after every two (2) hours of operation.The use of heavy equipment will be strictly prohibited from 6:00 P.M. until 8:00A.M. on weekdays. Residents will be given prior notice at least one (1) daybefore use of any heavy equipment on Saturdays. Use of heavy equipment willbe prohibited during Sundays except for special or emergency activities thatneed immediate action.
Table 6 shows the typical noise emissions of common construction equipmentused at various distances from source.

D. Ecological Effects
Since there are no rare, endemic species of flora and fauna in the project area,project implementation has minimal impact on the overall terrestrial ecology ofthe Caniogan BLISS. Some plants and trees will be unavoidably cleared duringcivil works.
4.1.2 Impacts During Operation Phase
A. Air Quality
There will be minimal effect on the air quality during the operational phase of theSTP. Aside from the occasional odor nuisance, there will be no adverse effecton air quality. The performance specifications for the STP treatment processspecifically state that the facility should have odor control mechanisms. ManilaWater Company will not accept the turnover of the STP by the contractor if thefacility continuously emits unpleasant odors. Permanent solution(s) to addressany odor nuisance will be the responsibility of the contractor.
B. Water Quality
Without wastewater treatment, Caniogan Bliss accounts for an estimated 32kgBOD 5/day loading to Culiat Creek. The implementation of the project willcontribute to the improvement of the quality of water in Culiat Creek by reducingdischarge of untreated/partially treated wastewater. From a pollution loading of32 kg BOD5/day, loading will be reduced to 3-8 kg BOD 5Iday, or a 75-85% BODreduction, when the STP becomes operational. The implementation of theproject will contribute to the improvement of the quality of water in the nearbycreek by reducing discharge of untreated/partially treated wastewater.
31
C. Socio-Economic
A flat sewer charge equivalent to 50% of the water charge will be included in thewater bill once the STP is commissioned. This fee will help cover the costs of theoperations and maintenance of the STP and the sewer network. Thisarrangement was clearly explained to the community during the consultationprocess. The consultation done with the community is explained in Chapter 6.0.
The general sanitation conditions in the project area will significantly improve.The project will reduce, if not eliminate the threat of water borne diseases suchas diarrhea and typhoid, which are more costly to manage.
D. Sludge Disposal and Management
The existing septic tanks in the area produce an estimated 6kg of sludge peryear. The table below illustrates the sludge production averages for variouswastewater treatment processes. Also indicated is the estimated sludgeproduction of the STP considering each type of treatment.
Table 7Sludge Production of Various Wastewater Treatment Processes
Treatment Process Typical Dry Solids I IProductions (kg/m3) I
Activated sludge 85 13,685Trickling filtration 70 11,270Extended aeration 100* 16,100Aerated lagoon 100* 16,100*assumes no primary treatment
The bidders for the project may propose any of the above wastewater treatmentprocess or their modifications. Cost and operational efficiency are among theconsiderations for awarding the bid.
In the interim (i.e. up to 2005), sludge produced in the treatment process andcollected from the communal septic tank will be transported to a Septage SeaDisposal Station located in J.P. Rizal Ave., Brgy, West Rembo, Makati City.Vacuum tankers will collect the sludge produced in the STP and collected in thecommunal septic tank.
A long-term alternative is the disposal of sludge and septage to the lahar areas inPampanga. The sludge can be usecl as soil conditioner for sugarcane and corn.Experiments done in coordination with the Sugar Regulatory Administration onthe use of sludge in enhancing the soil quality of lahar-covered areas and thegrowth of crops such as sugarcane, corn and bittergourd resLilted in the issuance
32
of a temporary license issued by the Fertilizer and Pesticide Authority. Thelicense allows the use of sludge in growing similar crops.
Starting 2004, a septage treatment facility will also be available to treat sludgeand septage from the STP. This facility is part of the Sanitation Component of thePasig River Rehabilitation Project. Manila Water Company will operate theseptage treatment facility. Stabilized sludge may also be used as filling material.

The implementation of the project is projected to produce minimal adverseenvironmental impacts. Moreover, the long-term benefits from the project suchas improved sanitation conditions within the compound, lesser risk of waterbornediseases, and reduction in pollution will more than compensate for the negativeeffects that this project will cause during construction and operation.
Mitigating measures will be implemented to minimize, if not eliminate anyadverse impact that the project may cause. Measures to enhance the existingenvironmental conditions in the project site shall be implemented, as needed.
4.3 UNAVOIDABLE AND RESIDUAL IMPACTS
Unavoidable and residual impacts are those that occur as a result of naturalcalamities such as floods caused by typhoons or heavy rains, earthquakes andthe like. Appropriate measures will be done to anticipate these impacts and toimplement contingency action plans.

Attention: BLISS Homeowners' Association
Dear Homeowners and Residents:
With the pollution of Pasig River, Manila Bay, and Laguna Lake, it is nowincumbent on our part to do our own share in improving the conditions of ourwaters. Since a significant portion of the pollution load in these waters comesfrom wastewater from households (i.e. water that has been used in the toilets,kitchen, etc.), we enjoin you to participate in the upgrade of the wastewatersystem in your area.
As the sole provider of wastewater services in the Eastern part of Metro Manila,Manila Water Company will upgrade the sewerage and sanitation systems inCaniogan BLISS. Specifically, Manila Water will construct an undergroundwastewater treatment plant that will collect and treat wastewater from households.The treated wastewater that will come out from the treatment plant will beenvironmental-friendly and will meet the standards of the DENR. The systemproposed by Manila Water will eliminate the need for you to maintain yourcommunal septic tanks and the pipes that collect wastewater from the buildings.The whole wastewater system will be operated and managed by trained personnelof Manila Water.
We at the Home Guaranty Corporation believe that a proper wastewater system isessential to the preservation of our waters and of the health of our communities.Let us work together for these worthwhile objectives!
Very truly yours,
WILFRED RNANDEZPresidentHome Guaranty Corporation
