Identification of the primary and secondary (to tertiary, if needed) impact area receptors was done to

determine and classify adverse, potential and recurring impacts that shall be generated in the pre-construction, construction, operation, abandonment and monitoring phases of the project.

Sensitive receptors existing within the primary impact area, which was determined based on the

Project’s potential impacts during the pre-construction and construction phases. Such impacts include

dust generation, noise and vibration, soil runoff, and waste generation and disposal.

The secondary impact area was the area within 300-m radius of the Proposed Project Site, wherein more

residents are situated. The said people may be directly or indirectly exposed to the probable impacts ofsecondary impact area, which might include issues in sanitation, community health condition, and water

quality of receiving coastal waters.

Project Description

_____________________________________________________________________________________

A. Project Rationale

The Project aims to:

Construct a privately-owned Lodging House at Brgy. Chanarian in Basco, Batanes;

Ensure that the existing ecosystem and stakeholders thriving within and nearby the

Project Area shall not be adversely impacted during the Project’s pre-construction,

construction proper, operational and abandonment phases; Perform all Project operations pursuant to all applicable national and local laws, policies

and regulations of authorized government and non-government agencies, groups and

associations; and

Promote tourism and consequently, increase the livelihood and economic improvement

opportunities, to residents not only of the barangay but the municipality and the whole

province.

B. Project Area and Location

The Proposed Project Site is situated along the National Highway of Brgy. Chanarian in Basco, Batanes. It

is a five-minute drive from the Basco Airport and Town Proper. Access to the site is possible through the

National Road connecting Ihubok I and II to Chanarian, and a 15-m Barangay Road that enters the

Project Site directly. Figure 1 presents a bird’s eye view of the Proposed Project Site location, while

Figure 2 shows a clearer view of the said location, as well as the access roads to the site. The Project Site

has an area of 664 square meters. It is situated in a land classified as a residential area.

D. Project Phases

Pre-construction Phase: This phase consists of the project planning and activities related to securing thenecessary permits and clearances prior to construction proper. The acquisition of the project site, if it is

just previously purchased or leased, is also included in this phase. Preparation of the Proposed Project

Site is also carried out in this phase. Such preparations might include cutting/balling out trees,

barricading the area in preparation for the construction phase, leveling and excavation, and conducting

public consultation or key interviews with residents and other stakeholders.

Construction Phase: All civil works pursuant to the Engineering Plan and Detailed Design shall be

executed in this phase, including temporary structures that are essential for the whole constructionprocess (e.g. workers’ temporary settlement, including amenities such as public lavatories, material

storage area, etc.) This phase shall be finished within six (6) months.

Operational Phase: The start of this phase is the day the lodging house is opened for the public. The

lodging house shall offer food and accommodation, tour packages and transport services to tourists. All

schemes for proper waste disposal shall be maintained all throughout the years that the lodging house

will operate. Wastes shall include solid materials (recyclable, biodegradable and non-biodegradable),

which will be strictly subjected to proper and regular segregation, and liquid materials (detergents,house cleaning agents, human wastes), which will be directed into a receiving septic tank and subjected

to regular monitoring and transfer to a proper sewage treatment facility. Other activities which shall be

performed during the operational phase of the Project are maintenance of open spaces within the

Project Area, and regular check-up/monitoring (and replacement if necessary) of Project structures and

components, such as water pipes and drainage systems, ceilings, walls, etc.

Abandonment Phase: No abandonment plan is foreseen for the Proposed Project, but if indeed the

lodging house will be closed and abandoned in the future, all environment monitoring and mitigationmeasures shall be performed.

Baseline Environmental Conditions

_____________________________________________________________________________________

A. Physical Environment

The physical conditions existent in the Project Site is basically the same as the occurring environment in

the whole municipality of Basco. Basco is situated in Batan island, which is one of the large islands of

Batanes. It is surrounded by coastal seas, therefore giving its primary geographical characteristic of

beach and sand occurrences.

The Project Site, just like the whole Basco, is characterized by rolling hills and steep to very steep slopes.The site is actually elevated at 100meters above sea level. It is along the National Road traversing from

Basco Proper to Chanarian, the barangay where the site is specifically located.

The geomorphological characteristic of the site is Pliocene quaternary, the same as the whole

municipality of Basco. Soil is characterized by sandy-loam attributes. The climate here is the same as the

whole Batanes. The whole province is often lambasted by typhoons.

Impact Assessment

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Pre-construction activities which posed a significant effect to environment are vegetation clearing for

the civil works, and possible acquisition of land which would involve change in land allocation. During

construction, employment generation had been identified as the only immediate positive impact. All

other positive values are attributed to future gains once the project is completed. Physical and socio-

economic resources were preliminarily identified to be affected during this phase. The civil works and

land preparation are the potential activities that will disturb the soil. Pollution generation with regard to

noise and dust is also taken into consideration in the subsequent Environmental Management Plan.

As the lodging house goes into full operation, anticipated impacts include probable increase of

impermeable surface and problems with waste disposal, but only if proper maintenance and monitoring

measures are not taken.


16/26

b. Water quantity and quality

There is no nearby surface water in the Project Site, hence the concern about water

pollution and surface runoff can be eliminated. Moreover, the site is located 100 metersfrom sea level, hence the existence of low-depth water table is close to nil.

c. Air and noise quality

Increase in dust is caused by excavation, embankment and hauling activities. This can be

mitigated by regularly spraying of exposed areas with water and covering the dump trucks

with sheets. To somehow minimize the spread of dust particles and noise, putting up a

barricade during all construction works may be necessary. Moreover, laborers must bestrictly monitored in order to ensure that cleanliness and orderliness are practiced at all

times. Provision of temporary lavatories that will be regularly cleaned and removed of

wastes must be carried out to ensure sanitation and proper hygiene, and avoid the spread

of disease and undesirable odours.

d. Terrestrial environment

Construction of the lodging house will require cutting of trees and clearing of vegetativecover which will cause loss of habitat for some species, although there are only house birds

like maya and other common avian species thriving in the Project Site. Securing or permits

and clearance prior to cutting and clearing must be incurred.

e. Social environment

There are no consideration regarding planning of resettlement required for the Project

Site. There are other residential structures proximate to the Site but not within it. However,consultation with neighboring resident and families must be performed prior to any

construction due to the possibility of noise and dust spread that might be of inconvenience.

There is also the concern for safety and security since some of the laborers might not be one


17/26

Recyclables are to be directed in junk shops and all biodegradables to the trash collecting

truck. Domestic wastes like urines, chemical fluids and sewage must be directed in a

privately-owned septic tank. This septic tank must be regularly monitored and removed ofwastes as necessary, particularly during rainy seasons. Septage is to be collected and

brought to a sewage treatment facility. Hazardous wastes such as batteries must be

disposed wisely as well. Contacting a professional HazMat collection and storage facility to

help with this issue might be necessary.

b. Water Pollution

As mentioned, there are no surface water bodies proximate to the site. However, it is

indeed situated in a beach. Testing the waters on the beach and the area proximate to the

site for fecal contamination might be necessary.


18/26

Emergency Plan

_____________________________________________________________________________________

The Project Site is considerably proximate to Basco Proper, where fire protection department and police

offices are situated. Hotlines for security officials such as fire personnel, hospital workers and policemen

must be provided in the rooms of all lodging houses, as well as in the front desk. Basic fire and safety

equipment must be provided in the lodging house. These will include fire extinguishers, and water

hoses. For tours and ocean activities, provision of life vests and other safety apparel must be practiced.

Lifeguards and lodging house personnel must guide tourists all throughout their tours.
