The project is intended to reduce the current wastewater pollution discharged to the Pasig River by approximately six thousand (6,000) households in Karangalan Village. The project involves the improvement and rehabilitation of the sewerage system in the Village. Specifically, the project includes the rehabilitation of the existing sewer lines and lift stations, installation of new sewer lines to intercept sewage flows from the storm drain, as well as untreated wastewater flows from individual septic tanks and households without septic tanks. Sewage treatment plants (STP) will be constructed to treat the wastewater flows. In conformity with the requirements of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), an Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) NCR-2000-02-19-0289-211 issued pursuant to P.D. 1586 was secured for the project. 1.0 BASELINE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS Karangalan Village belongs to the Third Urban Development Project (Urban Ill) of the National Housing Authority. Urban IlIl projects were funded through a loan secured in February 1980 by and between the Government of the Philippines and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development. Karangalan Village was developed in 1985 on what used to be rice fields. The Village is located along Imelda Avenue. Based on municipal and barangay boundaries, portions of the Village belong to Barangays Manggahan and de la Paz in Pasig City and Barangay San Isidro in Cainta, Rizal. Karangalan Village is divided into nine phases. Phases IA, IB and IC are on the northwestern side while phases 2A, 2B1, 2B2, 2C1, 2C2 and 2C3 are on the southeastern side. The Village is bounded by Vista Verde Subdivision in the east, Pasig Greenpark Subdivision in the west and Metroville Subdivision in the south. Hakbangan Creek bounds the northern portion of the housing area. The Village is home to an estimated 6,000 households. Included in the estimate/projection are those from the newly constructed medium rise housing (MRH) units. The Karangalan MRH consists of 10 buildings, each with 60 residential units. Floral population within Karangalan Village constitutes ornamental plants and a few trees. Faunal population is limited to household pets and stray animals. The area is characterized by a relatively even distribution of precipitation during the year. Like in most parts of Metro Manila, the community has two distinct seasons: 7 the dry season during the months of November to May and the wet season during the months of June to October. Existing Sewerage System The sewerage system serving the estimated 42,000 population of Karangalan Village is made up of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and concrete sewer pipes with diameters ranging from 150-250 millimeters. From each household, wastewater flows to sewer lines directed to nine (9) separate lift stations. The stations are equipped with pumps that lift wastewater to each of the nine (9) communal septic tanks (CST) serving each phase. Presently, the lift stations are non-functional. The septic tanks are typically designed with approximate dimensions of 9mxl 8mx3.5m (LxWxD). The septic tanks consist of a grit chamber, wet well and digestive chamber. The flow of raw wastewater to the grit chamber is controlled by two sluice gates. The influent is screened by a cast iron bar screen (25mmx30mm) before entry to the wet well. The digestive chamber is made up of three compartments. The septic tanks have different disposal points. The description and disposal points of the septic tanks are listed in the table below.

The biomodule was constructed in -1U9 1 and is currently operated and maintained by Manila Water. The biomodule has a design flow of 36-150 m3/day. In the biomodule system, the microorganisms in the activated sludge are stored in a string-type media installed in the aeration tank. Oxygen required for activation of the microorganisms is introduced by way of aeration pumps. From the disposal points listed above, all settled/treated wastewater flows to Hakbangan Creek which is a tributary of Balante Creek. This water body releases into the Marikina River which ultimately discharges into the Pasig River. During the rainy season, the BOD5 of Pasig River ranges from 3-5 mg/L. This loading reaches 7-10 mg/L during dry season. Pasig River water quality falls within the BOD5 for Class C waters. DENR Administrative Order 34 (DAO 34) describes Class C water as that suitable for the following: 1. Fishery Water for the propagation and growth of fish and other aquatic resources; 2. Recreational Water Class II (Boating, etc.); 3. Industrial Water Supply Class I (For manufacturing processes after treatment). Defective lift station pumps, substandard design and materials, and settled wastewater in the sewer lines are indicative of the need to rehabilitate and improve the existing sewer system. 2.0 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATING MEASURES Potential Environmental Mitigating Measures Impact CONSTRUCTION PHASE 1. Poor quality of . Manila Water Company will monitor the supply and installation construction contract to assure quality of equipment and construction. Site Managers and Engineers with experience in construction management shall approve all materials and equipment to be used and installed at the site.
