Sensitive receptors existing within the primary impact area, which was determined based on the
Projects 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 of
secondary 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:
Six similarly-sized cottage rooms that are equipped with basic amenities such as AC units,
private bathrooms and cable TV and designed to accommodate a maximum of 22 people (Total
of 210 sq.m)
D. Project Phases
Pre-construction Phase: This phase consists of the project planning and activities related to securing the
necessary 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 construction
process (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 mitigation
measures shall be performed.
E. Manpower Requirements
The total number of workers needed for soil and civil works during the pre-construction and
construction phases are ten (10) laborers, one (1) Foreman and one (1) Civil/Sanitary Engineer.
Operational tasks shall be carried out by seven (7) employees (human resource, help/front desk, utility
and housekeeping, cook) and one (1) manager.
F. Project Cost
A cost amounting to Php 49.85 Million shall be the total cost for the whole project phases including
abandonment.

B. Biological Environment
The Project Site is not characterized by abundant ecosystem. In fact, the only thriving species here are
house birds and vegetation like coconut and kamagong. Trees become more copious as you get uphill of
Chanarian.
C. Socio-Economic
The residents of Chanarian are common farmers and fishermen. Only a total of 334 residents thrive in
the said barangay, which accounts to more than 60 households or families. Its facilities include nearby
hospital, health centers/clinics, hospital and a nearby Church.
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 socioeconomic 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.
2. Operation Phase
a. Solid and Liquid Waste
During the operation of the lodging house, possible impacts such as building up of domestic
wastes is expected, particularly during the peak season where more tourists visit the
province of Batanes. There is however, an systematic garbage collection system existing in
Basco, as well as a municipally-operated landfill area. Proper labelling of trash bins may be
necessary to encourage residents, employees and visitors in properly disposing of their
wastes. These trash bins must be systematically placed all throughout the Project site to
provide ease of waste disposal to people and discourage careless waste dumping.
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 of
wastes 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.
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.
