SECTIO A. General description of small-scale project activity
A.1 Title of the small-scale project activity:
>> Project Title: Laguna de Bay Region Community Waste Management Project: Methane Recovery
From Wastewater
PDD version 01
Date of the document: 25 November 2007
A.2. Description of the small-scale project activity:
>> Description
The objective of the Laguna de Bay Region Community Waste Management Project is to implement a set
of bundle on small scale waste management projects in the Laguna de Bay watershed, a watershed that is
heavily degraded and has-ever increasing environmental pressures from more than 10 million people and
thousands of industries that produce largely untreated solid and liquid wastes. The continued degradation
has resulted in increasing greenhouse gas emissions from waste, and through the waste management
interventions under the project, both environmental degradation and greenhouse gas emissions will be
reduced.
Wastewater treatment: The purpose of this activity is to reduce organic water pollution in the watershed
while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The project consists of two components: (i) methane recovery and combustion and (ii) methane
avoidance through substitution of anaerobic systems with aerobic systems. These activities are covered
under the small scale methodology AMS-III.H.-Methane recovery in wastewater treatment and AMS.III.I
Avoidance of methane production in wastewater treatment through replacement of anaerobic lagoons by
aerobic systems.
The wastewater treatment project includes four small municipalities, Teresa and Taytay in the province
of Rizal and Nagcarlan and Santa Cruz in the province of Laguna. These municipalities both own and
operate slaughterhouses. As with all the municipal slaughterhouses in the Laguna de Bay region, they do
not have effectively functioning wastewater treatment systems. Through the project, the slaughterhouses
will construct and operate biogas wastewater treatment systems that will recover the methane emissions
from the existing wastewater disposal systems. The project will also include one small scale privately
owned pig farm Cerdorado Farming Inc. and a cluster of medium-sized and much smaller piggery
operations including backyard piggeries which will be managed by the Pagsanjan-Lumban River Basin
Management and Development Foundation Inc (PLBRMDFI) which includes seven municipalities
namely; Majayjay, Cavinti, Pagsanjan, Lumban, Magdalena, and Luisiana, in Laguna, and Lucban,
Quezon.
The Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA) will have performance contracts with these
municipalities and the private entities to operate the treatment systems, collect and combust the methane
emissions to meet emissions reduction targets and to undertake associated monitoring. Payments to the
municipalities and private firms will be based on the achieved CERs.

Contribution to sustainable development
In the Philippines, the Laguna de Bay watershed is a priority watershed for environmental sustainability
goals since it contains 13 percent of the population of the Philippines and the lake and its tributaries
support fisheries, recreation, domestic water supply and provide aesthetic value for the many small,
historic towns in the area. Current water quality in the lakes tributaries is very poor especially in the
town centers and even more pronounced in the west bay. The pollutant loading from wastewater in these
areas has reduced the water quality in many of the lakes tributaries to levels such that it cannot support
most fish species and has contributed to water borne diseases in the region (Laguna Lake Environment
Monitor, 2005). The project will contribute to the environmentally sustainable development of the area
by reducing water pollution loading to the tributaries.
The project also provides new sources of financing to increase and improve the effectiveness of public
investments. Through carbon finance, the project will provide revenues for operation and maintenance.
Through the participatory planning and implementation process, the project will also provide an avenue
for participation in watershed planning and management with specific attention made for inclusion of
marginalized groups (e.g. women, indigenous peoples) in the process. Disclosure of municipal
performance on environment projects will also be enhanced since the performance of the wastewater
system and associated emissions reductions during implementation will be made available to these
groups and to the general public. As part of the process, the project will also provide training
opportunities of a wide group of stakeholders in watershed planning and management.

6
CDM Executive Board
>> The proposed project activity consists of two components that are eligible under the type III projects
of simplified modalities and procedures for small-scale CDM projects since both components reduce less
than 60 ktCO2-e of emissions per year throughout the whole crediting period.
AMS.III.H/Version 4- Methane Recovery in Wastewater Treatment. The project qualifies under

category III.H. as wastewater treatment activities will recover methane from biogenic organic matter in
wastewaters by introducing a methane recovery and combustion system to an open anaerobic treatment
system without methane recovery.
Type III.I/Version 4-Avoidance of methane production in wastewater treatment through replacement of

anaerobic lagoon by aerobic system. The project qualifies under category III.I as it substitutes the
anaerobic lagoon with aerobic system removing additional methane from its treated wastewater.
The project will introduce an anaerobic system with methane recovery as the primary means of
wastewater treatment. The system includes a dome bioreactor with gas recovery piping followed by an
anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR) and an aerobic planted gravel filter in the case of municipal slaughter
houses while in the case of pig farms, a septic tank or deep pond may be used in lieu of ABR . Recovered
gas is flared and/or used as fuel heat for the slaughterhouses scalding operations or domestic heating
applications in piggery farms. Sludge from the system will be removed every 2-3 years and will be
treated by the municipalities through their aerobic composting operations or will undergo windrow
composting in the case of pig farms.
The schematic diagram of the proposed biogas system which is the primary wastewater treatment
equipment that will be used by all the participating entities is shown in Figure 2. The biogas system will
utilize a low cost locally-designed dome-shaped concrete biogas digester with fixed limited volume for
gas storage. It will have a flaring system to efficiently burn unused excess methane. The digesters head
space acts as methane storage while hydraulic head of wastewater effluent in the discharge chamber
provides the necessary gas pressure.
Aside from the biogas system, all participating entities will also employ the aerobic planted gravel filter
as a final treatment. This system is a type of wetland system similarly applied in treating mine tailings.
The existing treatment equipment of the participating entities will form part of the proposed projects
wastewater treatment system. These include septic tank, open ponds and anaerobic baffled reactors
(ABR).

Public funding has not resulted in the diversion of official development assistance and is separate from
and not counted towards the financial obligations of Parties included in Annex I of the Kyoto Protocol.
(all public funding sources listed in Annex 2)
A.4.5. Confirmation that the small-scale project activity is not a debundled component of a
large scale project activity:
>>
None of the small-scale project activities or their aggregate bundle are debundled components of a large
project activities because within the last 2 years there is not a registered small-scale CDM project activity
with the same project proponents, in the same project category and technology/measure within 1 km of
the project boundaries of the projects. (Based on Annex C of Decision 21/CP.8).
SECTIO B. Application of a baseline and monitoring methodology
B.1. Title and reference of the approved baseline and monitoring methodology applied to the
small-scale project activity:
>>
The proposed project activity applies two approved small scale methodologies.
AMS.III.H. Methane Recovery in Wastewater Treatment- Version 4 as of 23 December 2006
AMS.III.I. Avoidance of methane production in wastewater treatment through replacement of anaerobic

lagoon by aerobic system version 4 as of 23 December 2006
B.2 Justification of the choice of the project category:

>>
Justification of the choice of the methodologies and why they are applicable to the project activity:
The project bundle qualifies as a type III small scale activity as it reduces greenhouse gas emissions and
emissions reductions of less than 60 ktCO2-e/yr for the entire crediting period. The project will apply
small scale methodology AMS.III.H/version 4 as it meets the applicability criteria 5 as provided below. It
9
CDM Executive Board
falls under scenario (vi) of AMS III.H which includes introduction of wastewater treatment with methane
recovery and combustion to an existing wastewater treatment system without methane recovery as a
sequential stage treatment step for the wastewater that is presently being treated in an anaerobic lagoon
without methane recovery.
The project also applies approved small scale methodology AMS.III.I/version 4 as it meets the
applicability criteria under this methodology as it avoids the production of methane from biogenic
organic matter in wastewaters by substituting the baseline anaerobic system with aerobic planted gravel
filter system removing the remaining methane from the wastewater.
The project activity will also result in reduction of greenhouse gas emissions through the displacement of
fossil gas fuel and fuel wood used for heating in slaughterhouse operations and small scale and backyard
piggery farms. However, they are not considered in the project emissions reductions.
B.3. Description of the project boundary:

>>
The project boundary is the physical, geographical site of the project activity where the wastewater
treatment and sludge treatment, as well as the fuel combustion take place. In the case of the
slaughterhouse waste treatment project, it includes: (i) the wastewater and sludge treatment with methane
recovery and combustion system, (ii) the receiving body of water, and (iii) the composting and soil
application of the sludge produced from the system. This is shown in Figure 3.a. On the other hand, the
small scale and backyard piggery farm project, the project boundary also includes the pig pens, as shown
in Figure 3b.

B.4. Description of baseline and its development:
>>
The participating municipal slaughterhouses either newly constructed or existing, were originally
designed to have different technologies.
Both Nagcarlan and Santa Cruz have constructed new slaughterhouses that were designed using the
baseline technology that includes a treatment plant with a series of anaerobic tanks (one covered
followed by 3 uncovered) that are 2.4 meters deep. In the case of Santa Cruz, the wastewater treatment
system was constructed and will be changed under the project while for Nagcarlan , the decision to
change the technology was made before the original design was implemented and therefore the project
technology will substitute for the baseline technology in the original design. In both cases due to the
CDM, the projects will not use the original baseline technology they were designed for and instead will
capture and flare the methane produced in the anaerobic reactor and will replace the secondary anaerobic
lagoon with an anaerobic baffled reactor. This corresponds to scenario (vi) in AMS.III.H paragraph 6 and
the baseline scenario paragraph 4 of AMS.III.I. On the other hand, The existing Taytay and Teresa
Slaughterhouses have septic tanks and will consider them as baseline treatment systems.
On the other hand, the participating Piggery Farms will consider their open ponds or septic tanks as
baseline treatment scenarios.

B.5. Description of how the anthropogenic emissions of GHG by sources are reduced below
those that would have occurred in the absence of the registered small-scale CDM project activity:
In accordance with attachment A to Appendix B of the simplified modalities and procedures for the
CDM small-scale project activities, the baseline emissions from the municipal slaughterhouse wastewater
and piggery farm wastewater in the project area would be higher in the absence of project activity due to
barriers in investment , technological and financial resources.
The baseline emissions will be higher than that of the project activity because the latter will recover and
combust methane emissions that would not have occurred anyway because of the following barriers:
Investment Barrier;
The anaerobic system with methane recovery and combustion represents a higher investment cost that the
baseline scenario of using simple open tanks. For both the slaughterhouses and the piggery farms, the
approach of using a series of open anaerobic reactors is more financially attractive compared to that with
methane recovery due to increased costs associated with enclosing the reactors and installing a methane
recovery system.
Technology Barrier:
12
CDM Executive Board
Compared to the choice of adopting an open anaerobic system, a biogas reactor system is a technology
that is more complicated to operate, relatively new in the country, and completely foreign to all
municipal slaughterhouses and small/backyard piggery farms in the country except for a few that have
adopted the system. Open reactor systems need very little operational input while biogas systems add real
and perceived complexity in both managing the reactor system and the methane recovery system.
Municipal slaughterhouses and small/backyard piggery farms have other concerns in managing their
respective business operations and will take a risk in adopting an unfamiliar technology that may cause
them additional quality time and resources, the designing and operating their wastewater treatment
system represents a significant barrier to the adoption of a biogas system.
Financial Barrier:
Local governments and small/backyard piggery farm owners within the project area have very limited
resources for investments. In the case of local governments, competition for these limited resources is
tight and constructing and operating a wastewater treatment project for a slaughterhouse provide much
less municipal revenue, direct social benefits and political visibility compared to projects like municipal
markets, livelihood programs, community centers and the slaughterhouse itself. It is both financially and
politically more advantageous for them to either under-invest in these facilities (i.e no investment or a
simple open tank system) or adopt the cheapest technological solution. The biogas system to be applied
in the project represents neither of these baseline solutions. On the other hand, small and backyard
piggery farms have very limited available financial resources. They are more inclined to invest them to
projects that will result directly to significant increase in revenues like increasing the number of pig
population and expanding the pig housing capacity instead of investing on a biogas wastewater treatment
facility with methane recovery and combustion.
The emission reductions due to the project activity are estimated at 407 tCO2e annually.
Box 1: Policies related to wastewater methane recovery system: Wastewater regulations do not
require specific wastewater treatment technologies such as that with methane recovery and contain
no mandatory requirements for the collection and flaring of gas. Wastewater is regulated through
permitting, effluent standard, and pollution charge systems stipulated under the Clean Water Act of
2002. Overall monitoring and enforcement by government regulators has been limited to a small
industry groups.* Municipal slaughterhouses nationwide are generally non-compliant with effluent
standard and in the Laguna de Bay Region, there are no municipal slaughterhouses that meet the
effluent standards.**
* Nationally, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) has only 3% of the firms on their database
and only a portion of them are inspected. Among the documented reasons for low compliance and lack of enforcement are
inadequate government resources and incomplete databases. Philippine Environment Monitor, DENR and World Bank
(2003-2005)

CDM Executive Board
Estimation of Baseline Emission:
The baseline scenario is either an anaerobic wastewater treatment system (sequential settling tanks with
incomplete treatment), septic tank or deep open ponds, all of which without methane recovery to which
an anaerobic wastewater treatment system with methane recovery and combustion and an aerobic
treatment system will be added. This corresponds to scenario (vi) in AMS.III.H. paragraph 6 and AMS.
III.I. paragraph 4.
The following equation is used for calculation of baseline emissions:
BEy = Qy,ww*CODy,ww,untreated*Boww*MCFww,treatment*GWP_CH4
Where:
Qy,ww the flow of wastewater and/or sludge;
CODy,ww,untreated chemical oxygen demand of untreated wastewater:
Boww methane producing capacity of the wastewater (IPCC default value

for domestic wastewater, 0.21 kg CH4/kg COD)
MCFww,treatment Methane correction factor for the existing wastewater treatment to which the
anaerobic treatment step is being introduced.
In the case of slaughterhouse, MCFww,treatment was chosen to be a composite MCF of the baseline
treatment technology and that of the receiving bodies of water that are of moderate to poor quality. The
suggested MCF (IPCC Chapter 5, volume 5 of 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas
Inventories) for anaerobic systems greater than 2 meters deep is between 0.8 and 1.0 or 0.5 in the case of
a septic tank, while the corresponding MCF natural river systems are between 0 and 0.2. Considering that
much of the BOD will degrade in the anaerobic settling tanks, an intermediate MCF of 0.7 and 0.4 were
chosen respectively.
On the other hand, in the case of piggery farms, the MCFww,treatment chosen were 0.8 and 0.5 for deep
ponds that are more than 2 m deep and septic tanks respectively as recommended in the approved
methodology. For the piggery farms participating in the project, treated wastewater is either recycled as
wash water or simply dissipated into the ground before reaching the bodies of water.
The value used for GWP_CH4 or Global Warming Potential for methane is 21.

Estimation of Project Emissions (PEy)
As outlined in AMS. III.H and AMS III.I, the following equation was used to calculate the project
emission:
PEy = PEy,power + PEy,ww,treated + PEy,s,final + PEy,fugitive + PEy,dissolved
Where:
PEy project activity emissions in year y (tonnes of CO2 equivalent)
PEy,power project emissions due electricity or diesel consumption in the year y
PEy,ww,treated project emissions due to degradable organic carbon in treated wastewater in the year y
PEy,s,final project emissions due to anaerobic decay of the final sludge in the year y

I. Project emissions due to degradable organic carbon in treated wastewater, PEy,ww,treated
The treated wastewater from the anaerobic biogas reactor equipped with biogas capture and flaring
system subsequently flows through two additional stages of treatment before final disposal. The methane
emission from this wastewater was determined by adding emissions due to each of subsequent treatment
stages and final disposal using the equations from AMS. III.H and AMS. III.I given below:
PEy,ww,treated = PEy,ww,AB + PEy,ww,Aer + PEy,ww,eff
(1) PEy,ww,AB : Project emission from wastewater from anaerobic baffled reactor (tonnes CO2/yr)
PEy,ww,AB = Qy,ww*CODy,ww,treated,AB*Boww*MCFww,AB*GWP_CH4
Where:
Qy,ww the flow of wastewater treated in year y (m3)
CODy,ww,treated,AB chemical oxygen demand treated in anaerobic baffled reactor or septic tank or
open pond in the year y (tonnes/m3)
Boww methane producing capacity of the treated wastewater (IPCC default value,
0.21 kg CH4/kg COD)
MCFww,AB methane conversion factor for anaerobic baffled reactor (or septic tank or open
pond) based on the type of treatment and discharge pathway of the wastewater
(fraction)
GWP_CH4 Global Warming Potential for methane (IPCC value is 21)
(2) PEy,ww,aer : Project emission from wastewater from aerobic gravel filter (tonnes CO2/yr)
PEy,ww,Aer = Qy,ww*CODy,ww,treated,Aer*Boww*MCFww,Aer*GWP_CH4
Where:
CODy,ww,treated,AB chemical oxygen demand treated in aerobic planted gravel filter in the year y

MCFww,Aer methane conversion factor for aerobic systems based on the type of treatment

16
CDM Executive Board
(3) PEy,ww,aer : Project emission from wastewater from effluent wastewater (tonnes CO2/yr)
PEy,ww,eff = Qy,ww*CODy,ww,treated,Eff*Boww*MCFww,Eff*GWP_CH4
Where:
CODy,ww,eff chemical oxygen demand in effluent wastewater after final treatment in aerobic
planted gravel filter in the year y (tonnes/m3)
0.21 kg CH4/kg COD)
MCFww,Eff methane conversion factor for aerobic systems based on the type of treatment
and discharge pathway of the wastewater (fraction) (MCF higher value in Table
III.H.1 for sea, river and lake discharge i.e. 0.2)
The table below summarizes the terms that apply at the different subprojects. Bo is a default value based
on AMS. III.H.1 and AMS. III.I. On the other hand, annual wastewater flow rates, Qy,ww as shown in
Annex 7 and COD values were based on design parameters in the feasibility study. Also, MCFww,Eff was
based on final disposal in a natural body of water that has some anaerobic activity due to poor water
quality.
II. Project emissions due to anaerobic decay of the final sludge, PEy,s,final
This was neglected since the final sludge will be composted or sent to a composting facility and the
product to be used in soil application
III. Project emissions due to methane release in capture and flare systems, PEy,fugitive
PEy,fugitive = PEy,fugitive,ww + PEy,fugitive,s
Where:
PEy,fugitive,ww fugitive emissions due to methane capture and flaring inefficiencies in the anaerobic
wastewater treatment in the year y (tonnes CO2 equivalent)
PEy,fugitive,s fugitive emissions due to methane capture and flaring inefficiencies in the anaerobic
sludge treatment in the year y (tonnes CO2 equivalent)
17
CDM Executive Board
The following equations were used:
1) PEy,fugitive,ww, : Fugitive emissions due to capture and flaring inefficiencies in the anaerobic
wastewater treatment
PEy,ww,Aer = (1-CFEww)* MEPy,ww,treatment*GWP_CH4
Where:
CFEww capture and flare efficiency of the methane recovery and combustion equipment
in the wastewater treatment
MEPy,ww,treatment methane emission potential of the untreated wastewater in the year y (tonnes)
calculated using the following equation:
MEPy,ww,treatment = Qy,ww*CODy,ww,untreated*Boww*MCFww,treatment
Where:
CODy,ww,untreated chemical oxygen demand of the wastewater entering the anaerobic treatment
reactor system with methane capture and combustion in the year y
(tonnes/m3)
Boww methane producing capacity of the untreated wastewater (IPCC default

value, 0.21 kg CH4/kg COD)
MCFww,treatment methane correction factor for the wastewater treatment system that will be
equipped with methane recovery and combustion
The table below also summarizes the terms applicable to the different sub-projects. Bo is a default value
as per AMS III.H. Also, wastewater flow rate and COD were based on design parameters. MCF value
was chosen as 1.0 based on the anaerobic condition of the of the project activity wastewater treatment
system as suggested in Table III.H.1
(2) PEy,fugitive,s, : Fugitive emissions due to capture and flaring inefficiencies in the anaerobic sludge
treatment
This was considered zero since the anaerobic treatment technology does not include a separate sludge
treatment system.
IV. Project emissions due to dissolved methane in treated wastewater, PEy,dissolved
PEy,dissolved = Qy,ww*[CH4}y,ww,treated*GWP_CH4
18
CDM Executive Board
Where:
[CH4]y,wwtreated dissolved methane content in the treated wastewater (tonnes/m3). The IPCC
default of 0.0001 was used.
V. Project emissions due electricity or diesel consumption, PEy,power
This was also neglected since the biogas reactor, the anaerobic baffled reactor and the aerobic planted
gravel filter will not consume power for their operations.
Estimation of Leakage
No leakage calculation is necessary since none of the wastewater treatment technologies are transferred
from another activity and none of the existing equipment is transferred from another activity.
Estimation of Emission Reduction
As outlined in AMS. III.H and AMS. III.I, the following equation was used for the estimation of emission
reduction of the project:

>> The Monitoring plan for the small scale CDM project includes the operation and management
structure for monitoring and involves both LLDA and the municipalities and private firms. The LGUs
will be provided with project operation and monitoring manual to undertake the monitoring of project
operations and report to LLDA, who will undertake data checking and site visits. For laboratory sampling
and measurements for determination of gas characteristics, LLDA will undertake monitoring themselves
as they have their own laboratory facilities and are able to quality control the analysis through their
standard procedures. LLDA will also be responsible for aggregating the data, undertaking any necessary
calculations and reporting the data to the DOE.

SECTIO E. Stakeholders comments

>>
E.1. Brief description how comments by local stakeholders have been invited and compiled:
>> The Stakeholders Consultation of the identified eligible CDM subprojects for the wastewater
treatment was scheduled separately for each Municipality. The invitations were sent to the stakeholders
being affected by the project including the officials of the Cities and Municipalities involved in the
project. The topics presented in the consultation were the presentation of the carbonshed project of
LLDA, the project activity to be implemented, and open forum to address the issues and concerns about
the project.
E.2. Summary of the comments received:
Summary of Issuses/Concerns addressed in the Stakeholders Consultation:

Issue Response/Recommended Measures to
address and solve those issues
1. How to control and remove bad odor Bad odor coming from the piggery can be
coming from the piggery? controlled or removed substantially through
proper housekeeping and use of enclosed waste
treatment equipment like the biogas digester
and the septic tank. For bigger piggeries,
planting trees around the farm to create a wind
break will prevent residual odor from reaching
the neighborhood.
2. How to operate the biogas? The biogas digester is very simple to operate.
Just feed continuously or intermittently with
wastewater influent. The treated wastewater
discharges automatically by volume
displacement. Biogas is emitted continuously
from the top and the methane gas being
captured can be used for cooking.
3. How the methane gas be utilized for Methane gas can be utilized for cooking in the
cooking? same manner as LPG. Extend a tube and install
a cooking stove near the area.
4. How the LGU get their incentives For a limited period, LGUs can get their
from CER? incentives from LLDA.
5. What should the community do to The community can divert their own piggery
make the project successful? wastes in case the biogas digester is under
utilized or patronize use of biogas for cooking
in case there is a surplus supply.

CDM Executive Board
6. Who will be benfited from the The project proponent or the LGUs will
CERs to be generated from the benefit from CERs but this incentives will be
project? used for their operation and maintenance of the
project thus, to maintain the methane capture
as prescribed in the sERPA in a given period
and to improve the watershed in the Laguna de
Bay region.
E.3. Report on how due account was taken of any comments received:
>> During the open forum, every participant had identified their name, what company or barangay they
are presenting and then stated their query. The comments or issues being raised was provided with
answers and explained further how actions were being taken and resolved those issues.
