Baseline profile : Underlain largely by diorite and partly by limestone and metarocks, the minable areas are heavily vegetated by secondary forest growths, lush understory composed generally of shrubs and grasses. Some wildlife species had been noted. Rainfall is distributed throughout the southwest monsoon season with concentration in the month of August. Drained directly by Biak na Bato River, sediments are transported into the major drainage system called Pampanga River and finally to Manila Bay. Groundwater is abundant in the limestone and even in the altered diorite aquifer or pyroclastics. Communities are located outside of the active mining areas and even of the claim area. They are in a way not directly affected by the proposed mining operations such that no resettlement will be done. Key impacts : Production of mining and crushing wastes, accelerated erosion, siltation of riverbeds, murkying of surface waters, alteration of aquifers, removal of vegetation and consequently the habitats of wildlife, displacement of wildlife, air pollution especially by particulates affecting existing communities, and changes in traditional and moral values. Key env’l mgt m’sures and monit plans : Slope stabilization measures to prevent erosion – actual monitoring of slope stability in cutslopes and stockpiles. Use of sabo dams, siltation ponds and silt curtain to prevent siltation – monitoring of water quality in perennial or intermittent streams. Progressive rehabilitation of mined-out areas focusing on revegetation - institutional monitoring as required by law. Regulated removal of existing vegetation and reconstruction of habitats during rehabilitation. Water spraying of roadways used by hauling trucks – periodic air quality monitoring. Encourage regular religious gatherings and fellowship activities – management to monitor and participate. Project Location : Shown below is the location of the project and in the next page, the access route from Brgy. Akle in San Ildefonso and the proposed operational area inside the mining claim. Project Site EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.0 Brief Project Description The proposed project involves the extraction of iron ore by Ore Asia Mining & Development Corporation (OAMDC) from a portion of the 442-hectare mining claim of Oro Development Corporation (ODECO). This mining claim is covered by a Mining Lease Contract denominated as MRD-509. OAMDC acquired its rights over the area as a mining operator based on the Mines Operating Agreement (MOA) signed by representatives of this company and that of ODECO on September 6, 2006. Said MOA gives OAMDC the right to operate 397 hectares out of the 442- hectare claim of the ODECO. The mining operation is exclusively confined to iron ores. ODECO has also entered into operating agreements with five (5) others but OAMDC was also able to acquire their rights of the latter including that of the Royal Piccanto area containing 20 hectares. Thus, the ECC application will cover the entire claim of 442 hectares. The project site is confined by geographic coordinates 15003’30” – 15005’00” north latitude and 121008’00” – 121009’00” east longitude. It is administratively located in Brgy. Camachin, Doña Remedios Trinidad (DRT), Bulacan. From Manila, the site can be reached through a well-paved road up to the San Ildefonso municipality, then through a combination of paved and dirt road to Brgy. Akle in San Ildefonso and finally through a former logging road to the mine site. Total travel time from Manila is approximately three (3) hours. The claim is host to an iron ore deposit with a potential resource of 5.6 million metric tons more or less. This is based on estimates by previous workers and the geological assessment made recently by the OAMDC. The deposit is contact metasomatic and hosted by metasediments and metavolcanics rocks. Ore extraction will primarily be done through open cut method (shall be referred to here as “cut and fill” method). Bulldozers, backhoes, payloaders, and breakers will be used in the process. The “cut and fill” method simply involves the excavation of the slopes (cut) to expose the ore deposits, extract the same for breakage or stockpiling, and backfilling of the waste materials (largely soil) on areas already cut. Large ore boulders will be broken into sizes that could facilitate handling and mechanical breakers will be used for such activity. For massive in-situ deposit, blasting will be used when necessary. Payloading to hauling trucks will follow suit. Handpicking may be utilized for collecting floats. A sizeable manpower will be employed for such activity. Crushing of ore to fines of about 10 mm in diameter will also be done. The finished products will be shipped directly abroad through the Manila South Harbor facilities. The company intends to produce 600,000 metric tons of crushed or lumped ore per year. Life of mine will be about 9.4 years if this output is sustained.

Ore Asia Mining & Development Corporation, even in a small way, can contribute to this process. Project Phases: Pre-development This phase is dedicated largely to activities like detailed geological exploration, acquisition of permits and clearances from concerned government agencies and local government units and bidding out of civil works that will be undertaken during the development stage. Development Phase The development phase is preparatory to actual operations. The major activities during this phase include topographic mapping of mining and industrial areas, detailed geological assessment of delineated deposits, road rehabilitation and construction, installation of crushers, construction of civil structures and support facilities, installation of machineries and equipment, construction of siltation ponds and sabo dams, and opening of benches. Operations Phase Included in this phase are clearing and stripping of mineable areas, stockpiling of the overburden for future use, benching and surface mining, crushing of ore to desired sizes, and hauling of crushed or lump ore to pier. Washing may also be employed during rainy season where the ore may be soiled by while stockpiling. Rehabilitation of mined-out areas will follow suit and this involves the backfilling of benches with previously stockpiled overburden, conditioning of soil, revegetation and nurturing of seedlings until these are fully capable of sustaining life. Abandonment Phase The minesite will be abandoned after the deposits had been exhausted, possibly after 9.4 years or more. An Environmental Site Assessment shall be conducted in the area to find out if contamination attributed to the mining operation, is present in soil, water and air. Proponent will see to it that rehabilitation is completely done before abandonment. Mining will be carried through simple extraction using surface mining specifically, through “cut and fill” method. Advance of quarry face will be done through benching. The slope is cut, the ore is extracted, the Process and mined area is rehabilitated, and the benches re-vegetated. technology Crushing may either be done using stationary or mobile jaw and cone crushers with built-in layered screens. The desired diameter is 10 mm but this could change depending on the preference

  • Bioinsecticide Test of Crude Stem Bark Extracts of Some
    G.J.B.A.H.S.,Vol.2(3):28-31 (July – September, 2013) ISSN: 2319 – 5584 BIOINSECTICIDE TEST OF CRUDE STEM BARK EXTRACTS OF SOME MELIACEOUS PLANTS AGAINST SPODOPTERA LITURA Tukiran Chemistry Department, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, State University of Surabaya Jl. Ketintang, Surabaya, 60231, East Java, Indonesia. Abstract In the study of screening for bioinsecticides from plants, the activity of the stem bark extracts of some Meliaceous plants growth in Indonesia, namely Aglaia odorata Lour, Aglaia odoratissima Blume, Aglaia elaeagnoidea A.Juss, Sandoricum koetjape Merr. and Xylocarpus moluccensis (Lamk.) M.Roem was investigated. Solvent residues of these stem bark of plants were obtained from different solvent extracts (hexane, chloroform and methanolic extracts). All extracts dissolved in distilled water and added tween 80 (a few drops) as emulsifying agent were separately tested at various concentration (mg/L) continuously for 1, 2 and 3 days on the third instar larvae of the armyworm, Spodoptera litura. The results indicated the presence of bioinsecticide effect which was maximum of Sandoricum koetjape. This plant extracts (hexane and methanolic extracts) gave enough sensitive effects to the third instar larvae with LC50s of 104.24 and 170.23 mg/L, respectively after 3 days of application. Meanwhile, other plant extracts showed much less sensitive and relatively insensitive after 3 days of application because their LC50 values were more than 200 and 1500 mg/L, respectively. Keywords: Bioinsecticide, Lethal Concentration (LC50), Meliaceae, Spodoptera litura. 1. Introduction Spodoptera litura (Fabricius) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is a polyphagous insect pest (Holloway, 1989). It is an indigenous pest of a variety of crops in South Asia and was found to cause more than 26-100% yield loss in groundnut (Dhir et al., 1992 as stated by Muthusamy et al., 2011).

Contents Introduction 1 Lao Flora Listed by Lao Script 13-121 Lao Flora Listed by Genus and Species 123-238 Introduction This introduction1 provides a brief synopsis of the forest habitats and ecoregions found in Lao PDR, as well as an overview of the related research on plant taxonomy. This is followed by a description of the structure and contents of the present volume and a citation of sources used to compile the present checklist. 1. Forest habitats and ecoregions in Lao PDR 1.1. Forest habitats Forest classifications can be vegetation-related (which implies that the factors used to distinguish forests are the physiognomic or floristic characteristics of the vegetation), biophysically- and climate-related (where broad environmental or geographic characteristics become the distinguishing factors), or management- related (which involves utilizing combinations of vegetation and non-vegetation criteria). These modes of classification are scale-specific: while global-scale classifications are largely based on climatic criteria such as rainfall and temperature, classification systems used at country- or smaller regional-level scales emphasise floristic and physiognomic characteristics as well as physical site factors (Wong, Delang, Schmidt-Vogt, 2007). These latter variables were taken into account by the National Office of Forest Inventory and Planning (NOFIP) when it classified the forests of Lao PDR (Manivong and Sandewall, 1992).

Taguiling, PhD Ifugao State University, Nayon, Lamut, Ifugao, Philippines Abstract Any biodiversity conservation effort starts from baseline information. A biodiversity study was then conducted in the province of Ifugao, Philippines to provide first hand information on the status of macrofloral biodiversity in the area. Rapid assessment using plot method was used in the inventory of macrofloral species. Ethnobotanical survey of key informants was also conducted to record knowledge of community members on the uses of plant species found in the locality. Results revealed 69 families 134 genera and 214 species of macroflora. Shannon’s diversity index for trees and shrubs showed 3.59 to 3.7 corresponding to relatively high diversity. Of the species recorded, 36 were endemic to the Philippines, 4 vulnerable based on the 2010 IUCN red list and under CITES Appendix II. Forest areas with lower elevation showed higher species diversity than those with higher elevation. Description of species importance values, dominance, similarity index and floristic checklist were provided. Ethnobotanical survey revealed 38 species used as food plants, 25 species used as medicinal plants, 26 species with socio-cultural importance, 2 species identified as source of strong fiber, 5 species with pesticidal properties, and 1 species utilized as organic fertilizer. Issues and problems related to macrofloral biodiversity and suggested solution actions were described.
