Ave. is a strip of commercial/business establishments. On the NE cornerare the MPF Sub-station and the PNR ROW including the PNR Bicutan Station. Immediatelyeast of the railwayis the PNNCcompound. On the SE corneris the Bicutan public Market and the PNR ROW. East of the railway is a strip of commercial/business establishments. The improvement/construction of various lxl, 2x2, 3x3 and 4x4 lanes at the secondary/primary/arterialroad and at the circumferential/radialroad, constructionof sidewalks, intersectionimprovement, street lighting,traffic lightingand other related structurefacilities will alleviate! enhance the existingconditions of the projectarea.

Basedon the descriptiveexisting environment in the influencearea, a systematic environmental assessmentof the project's impact during constructionand operationphase was thoroughly analyze and evaluated.

Analysis of the project's possibleimpacts to the environmentwas made by recognizingthat constructionphase would mainlybe interchangeimprovements, intersectionimprovements, provision of sidewalks, new traffic signals and additionalpedestrian crossing and barriers. The analysispresents the effectsof the unmitigatedimpacts. The necessarymeasures to reduceor to eliminatethe impactsare discussedunder the environmentalmanagement plan (EMP). Identificationof the potentialenvironmental impacts was donecomprehensively by evaluatingthe project's features against the known lists of potentialimpacts identifiedby varioussources of this project. 1. Physical

1.1 Water/Groundwater

The projectis veryunlikely to effectsurface/ groundwater. 1.2 Noiseand Air Quality

The main impacton air qualitywill be an increasein ambientTotal SuspendedParticulate (TSP) concentrationsduring the construction period. This will be due mainlyto heavyconcentrations of vehicleson the road and heavytraffic. However,this will only be a temporary occurrenceduring construction.

The expected noise sources during project implementationare constructionequipment. Noise levels, however,will still be within DENR standardsat a distance of about 20 meters. Construction activitiesshould be scheduledat daytime.In additionto contributorof noise are the heavy concentrationof vehicleswhich will aggravate the motorsoperation in one area of the roaddue to heavytraffic and blowingof horns.

2. Socio-Economics

2.1 Population growth

Population growth in the area has increaseovertime due to high level of urbanizationat a rate from 2.0% to 2.5% per annum. It is observed That there are high level of present and future major developments that will have a significant impacts on the urban structure of the influence area. Aggravated with this situation, the influx of workers coming from other barangaysor municipalitieswithin Metro Manila will increase the number of temporaryoccupants due to the area. During the operation phase, meanwhile, some areas of the affected barangay will be slightly turn in a normal condition, as those temporarysettlers will go back to their original abode.

2.2 Employment

Since construction is expected to last for about three years, the contractors will need an estimated fluctuating number of workers thereby creating employmentopportunities to qualified local residents within Metro Manila. The number of workers required will vary from the minimum required skilled and unskilled workers to a maximum number at the peak of construction.

It should be noted that with the project, ancillary enterprises could have a chance to prosper. During the construction phase, suppliers and other businesseswill be in demand and with the spending of the workers on their needs will have a multiplier effect on the local economy in particularand in Metro Manila in general.

2.3 Land Values

Land values, given the introductionof rehabilitation/improvement of road facilities and other appurtenanceswill slightly rise as the local governmentwill introduce more features at the site.

2.4 Traffic

The introductionof improved new traffic system and other related road facilities in the influencearea will ease the traffic congestion,thereby, will create smooth and manageable traffic flows of heavy pedestrian and vehicularmovement.

DPWH - Environmental Impact Assessment Project Office Metro Manila Urban Transport Integration Project-Phase 11 BICUTAN INTERCHANGE

2.5 Generationof Taxes

The local governmentwill enjoy business/ real estate taxes because of the planned development. This will give the local governmentmore funds to implementthe necessary public services, particularly other infrastructure support and health services with the increase and sufficient taxes becauseof the project.

3. Biological/Ecological

3.1 The project will not in anyway affect vegetation, any wildlife and aquatic life, etc., hence, there will be no negative impact on this mentionedecosystem in the projectsite.

SectionVIII: -Environmental Condition of:theProject Area Section

ExistingCondition withoutthe proiect: The Public and Private transport system of Metro Manila and its environs which makes use of the existing road system consist mostly of tricycles,jeepneys, cars, buses and trucks. With the continuallyrising number of the vehicles it may result to heavytraffic flows along and particularlyin certain corridorsalong Metro Manila. An example of this is the heavy and uncontrolledtraffic created by buses that tends to exit from SSH and use on/off ramps to load/unloadpassengers at the interchange. This practiceadds to the congestionat the interchange. There are no proper bays at SSH, no passenger waiting facilities as well as pedestrian access to/from bus stops at SSH. However, the existing road network has become inadequateto meet the transport demands of the expandingmetropolis due to partially developed primary road system, lack of a well planned and developed secondary arterial and distributor roads, uncoordinated and inaccessible private roads and inadequate drainage structures and road appurtenances.

At present,the urban structureof Metro Manila is characterizedas follows:

The main transport network, including the Bicutan Interchange is the first interchange south of the SSH/C% interchange. It has its toll road exit and entrance ramps at the same junctions as the service on both the E and W side of the junctions. The two main junctions of the interchangeare signalled controlled. The PNR railway passes at grade at some 30 m to the east of the junction of the SSH on/off ramps, the East Service Rd. and Gen. Santos Ave. The PNR Bicutan Station is located east of the N bound exit toll gate. The PNR ROW is congestedwith squatter housing. The East sevice road stops at Gen. Santos Ave. and continuesnorth through Iba St. (some 130 m east to the junction of SSH on/off ramps, East Service Roads and Gen. Santos Ave.

Likewise, there are lots of future major developments that will have significant impacts on the urban structure of the metropolitan.

DP%\'H- Environmental Impact Assessment Project Office Metro Manila Urban Transport Integration Project-Phase II BICUTAN INTERCHANGE

Cognizantof the problems posed by these developmentson the road network,the Governmenthas initiated to construct high impact projects both using public and private sector funds. However,the simultaneousconstruction of these projects will result in traffic congestionnot only along routes traversed by these projects but also along the routesof the projectarea.

Observations made on the existing environmentalconcems in the project area includes:

1. IndiscriminatePT loading/unloading. 2. Inadequatepedestrian facilities. 3. There are no signals to wam vehicles and pedestrians of approaching trains. 4. Inadequatecrossing facilities and poor sidewalks especially in areas with heavy pedestriantraffic. Sidewalksare occupiedby vendors right up to the curb. Peoplewalk on carriagewaysand cross everywhere. 5. Poor and inadequatelighting. 6. Indiscriminatepedestrian crossing practices.

FutureCondition with the rroiect

Taking into account the high development of Metro Manila, it is reasonable to integrate improvement and management of the transport system to meet the transport demand in the future.

During implementation,skilled and unskilled laborers will be hired locally. These will give economic benefits and extra income to the people within the influence area.

Temporarily, the residents and commuterswill experiencedisturbance in term of noise, air pollution and traffic flow. However, these can be countered by proper measuresdiscussed in this report.

The smooth implementationof the proposedprojects requiresa participationof the local government units.. This involvementis particularly necessaryfor the design mitigation measures, in order to reduce, if not totally avert the possible negative impacts of the project.

Upon completion of the project,the accessibilityand transportationservices will be faster and more convenient.

DPFWH- Environmental Impact Assessment Project Office Metro Manila Urban Transport Integration Project-Phase II BICUTAN INTERCHANGE

As a result of increased accessibility and convenience, more investors will be attracted and encourage to infuse more capital, labor, materials, employment opportunitieswill increase. Deliveryof goods,social servicesespecially health and education,utility servicesand others will enhanced.

The Ayala Alabang Town Center (high-income residential area and a business center) lies adjacent to FilinvestCorporate City.

Based on the descriptiveexisting environmentin the influence area, a systematic environmental assessment of the project's impact during construction and operationphase was thoroughly analyze and evaluated.

Analysis of the project's possible impacts to the environment was made by recognizingthat constructionphase would mainly be bridge widening, intersection improvements,provision of sidewalks,lighting and road and pedestrianbarriers. The analysis presents the effects of the unmitigated impacts. The necessary measures to reduce or to eliminate the impacts are discussed under the environmentalmanagement plan (EMP).

Identificationof the potentialenvironmental impacts was done comprehensivelyby evaluating the project's features against the known lists of potential impacts identifiedby various sourcesof this project.

1. Physical

1.1 Water/ Groundwater

The project is very unlikelyto effect surface/ groundwater.

1.2 Noise and Air Quality

The main impact on air quality will be an increase in ambient Total Suspended Particulate (TSP) concentrationsduring the construction period. This will be due mainly to heavy concentrationsof vehicles on the road and heavy traffic. However, this will only be a temporary occurrenceduring construction.

The expected noise sources during project implementation are construction equipment. Noise levels, however, will still be within DENR standards at a distance of about 20 meters. Construction activities should be scheduled at daytime. In addition to contributor of noise are the heavy concentration of vehicles which will aggravate the motors operation in one area of the road due to heavy traffic and blowing of horns.

Secb70onVIII:: Environmental Condition of the ProjectArea Secaion>': .

Existing Condition without the proiect;

The Public and Private transport system of Metro Manila and its environs which makes use of the existing road system consist mostly of tricycles, jeepneys, cars, buses and trucks. With the continually rising number of the vehicles it may result to heavy traffic flows along and particularly in certain corridors along Metro Manila. An example of this is the heavy pedestrian and vehicular, particularly PT-provincial and metro jeepneys and tricycles; inadequate pedestrian facilities and the sidewalks are congested with waiting passengers and vendors, hence no safe crossing facilities. An environmental concerns are also aggravated by inadequate lighting underneath SSH ramp; indiscriminate PT loading/ unloading operations along SSH and frontage parking. However, the existing road network and other related above- mentioned facilities has become inadequate to meet the transport demands of the expanding metropolis due to partially developed primary road system, lack of a well planned and developed secondary arterial and distributor roads, uncoordinated and inaccessible private roads and inadequate drainage structures and road appurtenances.

At present, the urban structure of Metro Manila is characterized as follows:

The Alabang Interchange is one of the busiest road network at the junction of SSH with Alabang-Zapote Road and the National Highway. This junction is in the heart of Muntinglupa City's Central Business District (CBD) and a major transport hub of the south.

Likewise, there are lots of future major developments that will have significant impacts on the urban structure of the metropolitan.

Cognizant of the problems posed by these developments on the road network, the Government has initiated to construct high impact projects both using public and private sector funds. However, the simultaneous construction of these projects have resulted in traffic congestion not only along routes traversed by these projects but also along the routes of the project area.

DP'A'H - Environmental Impact Assessment Project Office Metro Manila Urban Transport Integration Project-Phase 11 ALABANG INTERCHANGE

Observations made on the existing environmentalconcerns in the project area includes:

1. Very heavypedestrian and vehicularinterface. 2. Inadequate pedestrian facilities. Sidewalks are congested with waiting passengersand vendors. No safe crossingfacilities. 3. Inadequatelighting undemeath SSH ramp. 4. IndiscriminatePT loading/unloading operations along SSH. 5. Frontageparking.

Future Conditionwith the Droiect

Taking into account the high developmentof Metro Manila, it is reasonableto improve integrationand managementof the transportsystem to meet the transport demand in the future.

During implementation,skilled and unskilled laborerswill be hired locally. These will give economic benefits and extra income to the people within the influence area.

Temporarily, the residents and commuterswill experiencedisturbance in term of noise, air pollution and traffic flow. However, these can be countered by proper measures discussedin this report.

The smooth implementationof the proposed projects requires a participatory approach. This involvement is particularly necessary for the design mitigation measures, in order to reduce, if not totally avert the possiblenegative impacts of the project.

Upon completionof the project,the accessibilityand transportationservices will be faster and more convenient.

As a result of increased accessibility and convenience, more investors will be attracted and encourage to infuse more capital, labor, materials, employment opportunitieswill increase. Deliveryof goods, social servicesespecially health and education, utility servicesand otherswill enhanced.

This componentextends from Roxas Boulevardto the South Super Highway(SSH), crossingTaft Avenue near the Libertad LRT station. The western part of the route is fronted by mainly commercial developments,while the eastern part has mixed commercial and residential frontage. 11 jeepney routes pass through this road convergingon the Pasay Market area, which is used as a terminal by many routes. Removal of vendors from sidewalks will be requiredin this area, and better control of on-streetparking will be requiredthroughout the route. The existing4-lane divided carriagewayhas a mixtureof surfacetypes, rangingfrom 'good' (where no action is proposed) to 'poor' ( where re-concretingis recommended).Rehabilitationof the PNR railways crossing on the eastern side of the SSH is also included. Drainage improvementsare recommendedin the flood-prone section around Taft Avenue. One new set of traffic signals is included in the proposals,together with upgrading the four others.

Future Conditionwith the project

Temporarily, the residents and commuterswill experience disturbance in terms of noise, air pollution and traffic flow. However,there are countermeasures cited in the EnvironmentalManagement Plan.

The smooth implementationof the proposed projects will require a participationof the local government units. This involvementis particularlynecessary for the design mitigation measures, in order to reduce, if not totally avert the possible negative impacts of the project.

Upon completion of the project, the accessibilityand transportationservices will be faster and more convenient.

As a result of increased accessibility and convenience, more investors will be attracted and encourage infusion of more capital, labor, materials, employment opportunities will increase. Delivery of goods, social services especially health and education, utility services and otherswill enhanced.

Section VIII: Environmental Condition of the Project Area Section

ExistingCondition without the project

The service roads alongsidethe South Luzon Expresswayfunction as the non-total part of the southem Corregidor,complementing the existing ground level toll way and the elevated Skyway. On the western side of the Expressway,the service road extends from the Nichols intersection to Alabang, passing through the main interchanges at Bicutan and Sucat. This service road, together with its eastem counterpart, carries most of the jeepney traffic in the South Luzon Expressway corridor. Throughout its length this road is only one lane in each direction. For the most part it is fronted on one side by industrialand commercialproperties, but it also accommodates many sub-division acces roads. Some re-concreting has already been undertaken,and the remainderis proposed in this project. Sidewalksexist in places and, again, further provision has been proposed as required (It should be noted that no sidewalksexist on the toll -road side of the service roads, making it difficult for passengersto wait for jeepneys in this direction. However, lack of space prevents any meaningful solution to this problem). Improved drainage is also proposed,were required.

Future Conditionwith the project

Temporarily,the residentsand commuterswill experiencedisturbance in terms of noise, air pollution and traffic flow. However, there are counter measures cited in the EnvironmentalManagement Plan.

______I______I SectionVI: EnvironmentalCondition of the ProjectArea Section

ExistingCondition without the project

The public and private transport system of Metro Manila and its environs which makes use of the existing road system consist mostly of tricycles, jeepneys, cars, buses and trucks. With the continually rising number of the vehicles it may result to heavy traffic flows along and particularlyin certaincorridors along Metro Manila. An example of this is the heavyconcentration of cars and buses along EDSA.

At present, the urban transport structure of Metro Manila is characterizedas follows:

a. The main transport network, includingthe radial and circumferentialroads. Emanatesfrom the traditionalCentral Business District(CND) in the City of Manila. Some of these routes are still incomplete.C4 (EDSA) is the main ring road through which traffic betweenthe north and south Luzon passes. b. Sub-CBDsare found along C-4 at Baclaran, Makati, Ortigas-Shaw,Cubao and Monumento.Of these, Makatiand Ortigas-Shaware the most notable. c. Large-scalecommercial facilities (e.g. shoppingcenters, supermarketsand Aurora Blvd. (SM Centerpoint),Ortigas Ave. (GreenhillsShopping Center), at the junction of EDSA and North Avenue (SM City), EDSA-JP Rizal (Guadalupe Commercial Complex), Commonwealth Avenue (Ever- Gotesco),Zapote-Alabang Road (SM South Mall), RegaladoAve. - Quirino Highway(SM Fairview)and along Rl Expressway(Uniwide Coastal Mall) d. Industrialdevelopments are mainly located aroundthe port area, along or in the vicinity of the Pasig and Marikina Rivers and along major roads such as C5, South Superhighway,Quirino Highway (RB), Mc Arthur Highway(R9) and the North DiversionRoad.

Likewise, there are lots of future major developments that will have significant impacts on the urban structure of the metropolitan.

Cognizant of these problems posed by these developmentson the road network, the Government has initiated to construct high impact projects both using public and private sector funds. Among the projects presently being implemented include the Metro Manila Skyway, Manila-CaviteToll Expressway,the MRT Lines 3 and 2, EDSA - Ayala/Pasay Road Interchange and the Kalayaan-Buendia viaduct.

13 However,the simultaneousconstruction of these projects have resulted in traffic congestion not only along routes traversed by these projects but also along the routes of the projectarea.

Observations made on the existing environmentalconcerns in the project area includes:

1. IndiscriminatebuslFX loadingand unloadingpractices 2. Waitingpassengers overflow on streets 3. Frontage parking operations interfering crossing facilities, bus stop and passengerwaiting facilities. 4. Poor interface between pedestrian crossing facilities, bus stops and passengerwaiting facilities. 5. Inadequatecrossing facilities and poor sidewalks especially in areas with heavy pedestriantraffic. Sidewalksare occupiedby vendors right up to the curb. Peoplewalk on carriagewaysand cross everywhere. 6. Poor and inadequatelighting 7. Indiscriminatepedestrian crossing practices 8. Some of the existingsignalized intersection is now closed

FutureCondition with the project

Temporarily,the residents and commuterswill experience disturbancein term of noise, air pollution and traffic flow. However,there are counter measures cited in the EnvironmentalManagement Plan.

The smooth implementationof the proposed projectswill require participation of the local government units. This involvement is particularly necessary for the design mitigation measures, in order to reduce, if not totally avert the possible negative impacts of the project.

Upon completionof the project,the accessibilityand transportationservices will be faster and more convenient.

As a result of increased accessibility and convenience, more investors will be attracted and encourage to infuse more capital, labor, materials, employment opportunities will increase. Deliveryof goods, social servicesespecially health and education, utility servicesand others will enhanced.

SectionVI: EnvironmentalCondition of the ProjectArea Section

ExistingCondition without the project; The public and privatetransport system of Metro Manilaand its environswhich makesuse of the existingroad system consist mostly of tricycles,jeepneys, cars, busesand trucks.With the continuallyrising number of the vehiclesit may result to heavytraffic flows alongand particularlyin certaincorridors along Metro Manila. An exampleof this is the heavy concentrationof cars and buses along Taft Avenue & A. Mabini especiallyduring peak hours.

The conceptualroad network of MetroManila comprises of 10 RadialRoads and 5 CircumferentialRoads. However, the existing road network has become inadequateto meet the transportdemands of the expandingmetropolis due to partiallydeveloped primary road system,lack of a well plannedand developed secondaryarterial and distributorroads, uncoordinated and inaccessibleprivate roadsand inadequatedrainage structures and roadappurtenances. At present, the urban transportstructure of Metro Manila is characterizedas follows: The main transportnetwork, including the radial and circumferentialroads. emanatesfrom the traditionalCentral BusinessDistrict (CND) in the City of Manila.Some of these routesare still incomplete. Likewise,there are lots of future major developmentsthat will have significant impactson the urbanstructure of the metropolitan. Cognizantof these problemsposed by these developmentson the road network, the Governmenthas initiatedto constructhigh impactprojects both usingpublic and privatesector funds. However, the simultaneousconstruction of theseprojects have resulted in traffic congestionnot only along routes traversedby these projectsbut also alongthe routesof the projectarea. Observationsmade on the existingenvironmental concerns in the projectarea includes: 1. Indiscriminatebus/FX loading and unloadingpractices 2. Waitingpassengers overflow on streets 3. Frontageparking operationsinterfering crossing facilities, bus stop and passengerwaiting facilities. 4. Poor interface between pedestrian crossing facilities, bus stops and passengerwaiting facilities.

DP\k H - Enx ironmentalImpact Assessment Project Office MMTURTRIPPH 2

5. Inadequate crossing facilities and poor sidewalks especially in areas with heavy pedestriantraffic. Sidewalks are occupied by vendors right up to the curb. Peoplewalk on carriagewaysand cross everywhere. 6. Poor and inadequatelighting 7. Indiscriminatepedestrian crossing practices

Future Conditionwith the proiect

Taking into account the high development of Metro Manila, it is reasonable to improve integrationand managementof the transportsystem to meet the transport demand in the future.

With the existing environment,the implementationof the project will not directly affect or loss its presentfeatures.

During implementation,skilled and unskilled laborers will be hired locally. These will give economic benefits and extra income to the people within the influence area.

Temporarily, the residents and commuterswill experiencedisturbance in term of noise, air pollution and traffic flow. However,there are counter measures cited in the EnvironmentalManagement Plan.

Upon completionof the project,the accessibilityand transportationservices will be faster and more convenient.

As a result of increased accessibility and convenience, more investors will be attracted and encourage to infuse more capital, labor, materials, employment opportunities will increase. Deliveryof goods, social servicesespecially health and education, utility services and others will enhanced.

With the continuallyrising number of the vehicles it may result to heavytraffic flows along and particularlyin certain corridorsalong Metro Manila. An example of this is the heavy concentration of cars and buses along the intersectionof Espanato Dapitanstreet.

At present, the urban transport structure of Metro Manila is characterized as follows:

b. Large-scale commercial facilities (e.g. shopping centers, theater, dry and wet market (Trabajo market) and Restaurants) are located at the intersectionof Espana street to Dapitan street.

Likewise, there are lots of future major developments that will have significant impacts on the urban structure of the metropolitan.

Cognizant of these problems posed by these developments on the road network, the Government has initiated to construct high impact projects both using public and private sector funds. Among the projects presently being implemented include the Metro Manila Skyway, Manila-CaviteToll Expressway,the MRT Lines 3 and 2, EDSA - Ayala/Pasay Road Interchange and the Kalayaan-Buendia viaduct.

However, the simultaneous construction of these projects have resulted in traffic congestion not only along routes traversed by these projects but also along the routes of the project area.

Observations made on the existing environmental concems in the project area includes:

1. Indiscriminatebus/FX loading and unloadingpractices 2. Waiting passengersoverflow on streets 3. Frontage parking operations interfering crossing facilities, bus stop and passengerwaiting facilities. 4. Poor interface between pedestrian crossing facilities, bus stops and passengerwaiting facilities. 5. Inadequatecrossing facilities and poor sidewalks especially in areas with heavy pedestriantraffic.

*sectionVI: EnvironmentalCondition of the ProjectArea |

Existing Condition without the proiect: The public and private transport system of Metro Manila and its environs which makes use of the existing road systemconsist mostly of tricycles, jeepneys, cars, buses and trucks. With the continuallyrising number of the vehicles it may result to heavytraffic flows along and particularlyin certaincorridors along Metro Manila. An example of this is the heavy concentrationof cars, jeepneys and buses along Espana Streetand C. M. RectoAvenue.

The conceptualroad network of Metro Manila comprises 10 Radial Roads and 5 Circumferential Roads. However, the existing road network has become inadequate to meet the transport demands of the expanding metropolis due to partially developed primary road system, lack of a well planned and developed secondary arterial and distributor roads, uncoordinatedand inaccessibleprivate roads and inadequatedrainage structuresand road appurtenances.

At present,the urban structureof Metro Manila is characterizedas follows:

a. The main transport network, includingthe radial and circumferentialroads. Emanatesfrom the traditionalCentral BusinessDistrict (CND) in the City of Manila. Some of these routesare still incomplete.M. dela Fuente (TrabajoO intersectionof Espana to Padre Florentinoto intersectionof Dapitan street and Laon Laan. b. Large-scale commercial facilities (e.g. shopping centers, theater, dry and wet market (Trabajo market) and Restaurants) are located at the intersectionof Espana streetto Dapitan street.

Likewise, there are major developments in the future that will have significant impacts on the urban structure of the metropolitan.

Cognizant of these problems posed by these developments on the road network, the Government has initiated to construct high impact projects both using public and private sector funds. Among the projects presently being implemented include the Metro Manila Skyway, Manila-CaviteToll Expressway,the MRT Lines 3 and 2, EDSA - Ayala/Pasay Road Interchange and the Kalayaan-Buendia viaduct.

However, the simultaneous construction of these projects have resulted in traffic congestion not only along routes traversed by these projects but also along the routes of the project area.
