Executive Summary

1. This report is the 1st semi-annual report on environmental safeguard compliance for the North South Commuter Railway Clark Extension (NSCR Clark Extension) Project also known as Malolos-Clark Railway Project (MCRP; Loan 3796-PHI: Malolos-Clark Railway Project) covering the period from October 2019 to March 2020.

2. The NSCR Clark Extension Project is part of the government’s flagship North-South Commuter Railway (NSCR) Project, a 167 km suburban railway network connecting New Clark City (NCC), Clark and Clark International Airport (CIA) with Manila and Calamba by 2025. The network comprises the (i) 37-km section Malolos–Solis–Tutuban, which began construction in early 2019 and is expected to start operation in 2022, (ii) the 71-km NSCR Clark Extension Project (the proposed Project), which was slated to commence construction in 2020 and start partial operation in 2022, and (iii) the 58.6-km North South Commuter Railway Calamba Extension (NSCR Calamba Extension) Project also known as South Commuter Railway Project from Blumentritt to Calamba, which is expected to commence construction in 2021 and start operation by 2024. The extension to NCC is expected to commence construction by 2022 and start operation by 2025. An extension for long-haul services to Batangas and Southern Luzon is planned beyond 2025 (ADB, 2019).

3. The NSCR Clark Extension Project has been classified as Category A for Environment as per the Asian Development Bank (ADB) Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS, 2009). An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) had been prepared and submitted to the Department of Environment and Natural Resource-Environmental Management Bureau (DENR-EMB) following the requirements of both the Philippine Environmental Impact Statement System (PEISS) and ADB Safeguard Policy Statement. The Philippine Environmental Impact Statement System was established under Presidential Decree (PD) No. 1586 and Presidential Proclamation No. 2146 defining the scope of the EIS System.

4. The NSCR Clark Extension Project will be financed in part by ADB through a Multi-tranche Financing Facility (MFF) with three tranches adopting the time-slicing approach for large-scale stand-alone projects. Each tranche will finance slices of a group of contracts for civil works or consulting services. The amount of each tranche will be requested according to the disbursement progress and projection. The Loan Agreement between ADB and the Government of the Philippines was signed on 11 July 2019 and became effective on 26 September 2019.

5. The NSCR Clark Extension Project will be co-financed by Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) on a parallel collaborative basis. The JICA loan was approved in December 2018 and signed on 21 January 2019. ADB is financing civil works (i.e., viaducts, bridges, stations, tunnels, and depot buildings), while JICA is financing the core system (i.e., tracks, depot equipment, power supply and electrification, signaling and telecommunication systems, and procurement of rolling stock), and consulting services.

6. Consulting contracts have been awarded to support DOTr in project implementation, as well as institutional capacity building in 2019. However, construction contracts have yet to be awarded and are anticipated to be done within the first quarter of 2020.

7. The Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) was issued on 13 August 2018. However, there were changes on the project scope from feasibility study (FS) to detailed design (DD) stage that required supplementary documentation which took additional six months to complete. The additional surveys for wet season were undertaken from June–July 2018, while additional surveys based on detailed design were conducted from December 2018–June 2019 as part of the documentation (DOTr, 2020). An updated EIS report, which incorporates the changes in the DD stage has been submitted to the EMB on 16 January 2020. A request for amendment of ECC (ECC-CO-1807-0017) dated 20 February 2020 (with summary of changes from Feasibility Study EIS to Detailed Design EIS and other relevant annexes) was received by the Environmental Management Bureau Central Office on 4 March 2020. Among the amendments 2

requested is the change of Project name from Malolos-Clark Railway Project (MCRP) to North South Commuter Railway Clark Extension (NSCR Clark Extension) Project.

8. Pre-construction activities such as continuing stakeholder consultation meetings (SCMs), Information, Education and Communication (IEC) campaigns, and tree inventories related to the preparation of the Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) and land acquisition are being conducted.

9. Meanwhile, compliance with pre-construction requirements are being undertaken by DOTr.

I. Project Overview and General Safeguard Matters

1 Project Overview

10. The proposed NSCR Extension Project will include two sections of new railway services namely: 1) NSCR Clark Extension (Malolos-Clark); and 2) NSCR Calamba Extension (Solis-Calamba). The NSCR Extension Project will connect to the NSCR Project, a 37-km section of railway from Tutuban to Malolos that is financed by JICA and is currently under construction. The ADB loan includes contract packages N- 01, N-02, N-03, N-04 and N-05 of the Clark Extension and S-01 of the Calamba Extension. The description of each contract package is given in Table 2. The Department of Transportation (DOTr) is the Executing Agency (EA) with Philippine National Railways (PNR), a government-owned railway company under DOTr, as Co-End-user. 11. The NSCR Clark Extension Project alignment (Figure 1) traverses the municipalities/cities of Malolos and Calumpit in the Province of Bulacan; Apalit, Minalin, Sto. Tomas, San Fernando, Angeles and Mabalacat in the Province of Pampanga; and Bamban and Capas in Province of Tarlac.

12. The NSCR Clark Extension Project ll be developed in two phases. The first phase, which spans from Malolos to Clark and CIA, will provide a high standard suburban commuter rail from Malolos to Clark with the 51.4-km railway line commencing at Malolos, passing through Calumpit, Apalit, Minalin, Santo Tomas, San Fernando, Angeles, and Mabalacat, and ending at the CIA Complex. The first section will include a 1.5-km access rail to the Mabalacat depot. The second phase will cover the extended section of 18.1 km from Clark to NCC traversing Capas and Bamban in the Province of Tarlac. With a total length of 71 km, the Project alignment is comprised of 59.8-km elevated viaduct, 2.4-km at-grade embankment, and 8.8-km underground segments.

13. From Malolos to CIA, DOTr will primarily utilize the existing Right-of-Way (ROW) of PNR. This area is intended for railway infrastructure. From Clark to Capas, the alignment will cross privately owned land in Bamban and the existing arterial road of Bases Conservation and Development Authority (BCDA) in Capas. For the Mabalacat Depot access segment, DOTr will utilize the BCDA properties within the Clark Special Economic Zone (CSEZ).

14. The Mabalacat Depot is located in a 0.33 km2 (33 ha) lot area between Gil Puyat and Prince Balagtas Avenues within Clark Development Corporation (CDC) land near CIA. 4

15. The second section of the NSCR Extension is the North South Commuter Railway Calamba Extension (NSCR Calamba Extension) Project also known as North South Railway Project–South Line Commuter (NSRP-SC). The NSCR Calamba Extension Project alignment traverses the cities of Manila, Makati, Taguig, Parañaque, and Muntinlupa in the National Capital Region (NCR); and San Pedro, Biñan, Santa Rosa, Cabuyao, and Calamba in the Province of Laguna (Figure 2).

16. The Calamba Extension is divided into two phases. The first phase will extend the NSCR railway line to the south from a junction point between Solis Station and Tutuban Station to a newly constructed station in Blumentritt in Sta. Cruz District of the City of Manila. It will be comprised of around 2-km elevated double track alignment. Blumentritt Station is envisioned to be an important transfer station for passengers, who will be able to change trains and continue their journey with Light Rail Transit (LRT) Line 1, which runs North-South through Manila City and connects as well to LRT Line 2 and the MRT-3.

17. The second phase of NSCR Calamba Extension Project is from Blumentritt Station to Calamba Station. The Blumentritt to Calamba Section will utilize the existing ROW of PNR from Solis Station in the City of Manila to Calamba Station in the City of Calamba, Province of Laguna. However, due to the ongoing NLEx/SLEx Connector Road Project of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), which was designed to utilize the PNR ROW from Sta. Mesa to Solis, Manila, the Project will traverse private lands adjacent to the PNR ROW from Solis Station to Sta. Mesa Station. DOTr will exercise the power of eminent domain of the government for the acquisition of the private lands in this section, which has an estimated length of 8.0 km.

18. The total length of the NSCR Calamba Extension Project will be approximately 58.6 km from Solis Station to Calamba Station including access going to the Calamba Depot. Based on the preliminary design, 55.6 km section will be elevated main alignment; and 3.0 km of the alignment will be at grade/embankment depot access. The line will have 19 stations, 3 of which are at grade due to site constraints. 6

1.1 ADB Multi-tranche Financing Facility

19. The MFF is a flexible financing instrument extended by ADB to borrowers. It allows ADB to provide assistance programmatically by harmonizing the provision of financing with project readiness and the long- term needs of a client. The MFF promotes long-term partnerships between ADB and its clients and provides opportunities for constructive dialogue on physical investments as well as nonphysical (thematic and sector) interventions. The MFF provides critical mass, predictability, and continuity to clients (ADB, 2015).

20. The NSCR Clark Extension Project will be financed by an MFF with three tranches adopting the time-slicing approach for large-scale stand-alone projects. At the time of MFF processing, the design, procurement, and safeguards have been appraised for the entire MFF. Each tranche will finance slices of a group of contracts per the indicative tranche schedule, and the amount for each tranche will be requested per the disbursement progress and projection (DOTr, 2020).

21. The Government of the Republic of the Philippines has requested an MFF in the amount of up to $2.75 billion from the ordinary capital resources of ADB to help finance the civil works (i.e., viaducts, bridges, stations, tunnels, and depot buildings) of the Project. The MFF consists of three tranches, subject to the government’s submission of related periodic financing requests, execution of the related loan agreement for each tranche, and fulfillment of terms and conditions and undertakings in the framework financing agreement. On 11 July 2019, ADB and the Republic of the Philippines signed the loan agreement, which became effective on 26 September 2019.

1.2 JICA Co-Financing

22. The Project will be co-financed by JICA on a parallel collaborative basis. The JICA loan was approved in December 2018 and signed on 21 January 2019.

23. JICA is financing the core system (i.e., tracks, depot equipment, power supply and electrification, signaling and telecommunication systems, and procurement of rolling stock) and consulting services.

2 Project Progress

24. The loan for the Project was signed on 11 July 2019 by the representatives of the Government of the Republic of the Philippines and ADB and became effective on 26 September 2019. Between this period, consultancy contracts were awarded as shown in Table 1 below.

26. The main thrust of the Environmental Management Plan (EMP, Appendix B) is to ensure that environmental, socio-economic, political, and public health issues within all contract packages are properly 12

addressed in a timely manner. It also provides a necessary mechanism that will strengthen the organizational relationship of DOTr with the host communities, concerned government agencies, and other stakeholders.

27. To ensure compliance with the EMP during the detailed design phase, DOTr has initiated addressing several requirements of the ECC4 issued by the DENR-EMB, which includes setting up the Environmental Unit (EU), the Multi-partite Management Team (MMT), the Environmental Guarantee Fund (EGF) and the Environmental Monitoring Fund (EMF).

28. The Project Management Office of the NSCR Extension Project (NSCR EX PMO) have proposed to the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) allocated positions for environmental concerns, which may be dedicated to the establishment of the EU. The EU has been established in 23 December 2019. The NSCR EX PMO has since provided 7 staff members to manage the environmental management requirements of the Project and has provided the required trainings to 3 staff members to serve as Pollution Control Officer(s) (PCOs) for the Project.

2.1 Implementing Structure

2.1.1 The Department of Transportation

29. DOTr is the primary policy, planning, programming, coordinating, implementing, and administrative entity of the executive branch of the Philippine government on the promotion, development, and regulation of a dependable and coordinated network of transportation system, as well as in the fast, safe, efficient, and reliable transportation.

30. As the EA of the NSCR Clark Extension Project, DOTr will supervise and coordinate the implementation of all activities, monitor compliance with the environmental impact statement (EIS) which covers the EMP and environmental monitoring plan (EMoP), secure sufficient funding for all resettlement activities, allocate resources in a timely manner, set target outputs with corresponding timelines, monitor progress, consolidate reports from all sources, and document gaps and its appropriate solutions. The general roles of DOTr as the EA will be largely carried out by a special office created for this purpose, or the NSCR EX PMO. For the Project, the Undersecretary for Railways will directly supervise the NSCR EX PMO and will make critical decisions regarding the implementation of the Project.

2.1.2 DOTr Roles for Environmental Management Plan Implementation

31. DOTr, as the EA, is responsible for providing overall policies and guidance concerning the implementation of the Project. It is also responsible in monitoring the compliance of the Project with the conditions of the ECC, as well as ADB Safeguard Policy Statement, JICA Environmental Policy (2015) and JICA Guidelines for Environmental and Social Considerations (2010) requirements. Further, DOTr ensures that all the provisions necessary for the implementation of the EMP and the EMoP—including budgets and agreements with other concerned national and local government agencies—are included in all contracts in compliance with ADB Safeguard Policy Statement and JICA Environmental Policy and JICA Environmental Guidelines.

4 Document issued by the DENR/EMB after a positive review of an EIS for the Project ECC application, certifying that based on the representations of the proponent, the proposed Project or undertaking has complied with all the requirements of the EIS System and has committed to implement its approved Environmental Management Plan to address the environmental impacts (EMB Memorandum Circular 005, July 2014, Revised Guidelines for Coverage Screening and Standardized Requirements under the Philippine EIS System). 13

2.2 Institutional Arrangement for the Implementation of the Environmental Management Plan

32. The organizational structure for the EMP implementation constitutes the NSCR EX PMO and its Environment, Social, ROW and Legal Division (PMO-ESRL); the Health, Safety and Environment Committee (HSEC); the General Consultant (GC), the Contractor(s) (including sub-contractors); and the Multipartite Monitoring Team (MMT) as key entities for its effective implementation. Figure 4 presents the simplified institutional chart for the EMP implementation, showing the relationship among the entities.

Source: (DOTr, 2020) Figure 4: Simplified Institutional Plan for Implementing the EMP

33. DOTr created a new office to serve as the NSCR EX PMO. Under the NSCR EX PMO, the HSEC will be established to implement the EMP during pre-construction and construction phases of the Project. The Contractor is bound by a contract to implement the EMP during construction. The environmental compliance monitoring will be undertaken by the MMT, which monitors Contractor and NSCR EX PMO performance with respect to the ECC conditions, the EMP and the EMoP, evaluating compliance with the guidelines of DAO 2003-305, DAO 2017-156, ADB Safeguard Policy Statement, JICA Environmental Policy and JICA Environmental Guidelines.

III. Conclusion

84. The Project is essentially still in its pre-construction and preparatory stage. The safeguard elements to be complied with at this stage include the necessary pre-construction requirements that need to be undertaken to facilitate the implementation of the Project such as, but not limited to, the following:

1) Monitoring and reporting of DOTr’s project’s environmental compliance requirements to the DENR EMB CO 2) Incorporating the EIS, EMP and EMoP in the tender documentation 3) Review and updating of the EIS, EMP and EMoP considering the changes during the detailed design 4) Preparation of the SDP designed for adequately addressing the requirements of Project stakeholders 5) The continuous conduct of meaningful consultations (Section II.7), wherein stakeholder consultations were undertaken both during the FS and the DD stages 6) Iinitiation of safeguards capacity building for NSCR EX PMO Staff

85. As construction activities commence, issues on the environment will continue to be given even more further importance and emphasis during stakeholder consultations.

86. When procedural non-compliance and delays occur (especially with ECC conditions and General Specifications indicated in the tender documents), relevant government agencies and offices will be notified and consulted accordingly. DOTr, with the assistance from the GC and EMA, will formally communicate non-compliances and delays, causes, and proposed corrective actions and solutions to comply with mandated requirements.

87. For public information, DOTr, with the assistance from the GC, will initiate dissemination of potential procedural non-compliance and delays to the communities through public consultations, the tri-media, the social media, Project Help Desks, and the GRM, among other means, in coordination with the respective LGUs and the MMT.

88. The DOTr had submitted revised EIS, EMP and EMoP and had informed the EMB-CO and other agencies of the relevant changes in these documents. The DOTr will closely coordinate with EMB-CO regarding their concerns on these submissions. Once the revised EMP and EMoP are concurred by the EMB CO, these shall be officially transmitted to the General Consultant (GCR Consortium, currently onboard), and the civil works contractors. GCR will then provide assistance to the DOTr in the proper implementation of the revised EMP and EMoP. An amended ECC is anticipated to be issued following these submissions. Same shall be forwarded to GCR and the contractors for implementation of the compliance requirements.

89. The project had been prepared and tendered with safeguard requirements of both the Government, ADB, and JICA taken into consideration. These safeguard commitments are incorporated in documents that will eventually become contractual obligations that the Contractors will be required to comply.

90. DOTr has executed the preparatory activities to comply with project safeguards commitments amidst institutional limitations. DOTr continues to build the number of staff, and their environmental 51

management capability are being strengthened through hands-on experience and through available relevant environment training opportunities. These are necessary to prepare them to take on their roles and responsibilities for the environment safeguards requirements of the project.

91. The major tasks accomplished during the reporting period are those relating to ECC compliance which are deemed very important to proceed with project implementation while waiting for the actual construction activities to commence. The EIS and its component plans, e.g., EMP, EMoP, SDP, have been harmonized with the changes brought about by the improved Project design and has been reported to DENR-EMB CO, ADB, and JICA. Relevant activities such as tree inventory have been conducted, which are done in conjunction with the RAP preparation activities.

92. Overall, Project preparation and pre-construction execution are generally compliant with safeguards commitments. However, as the project nears the construction stage, additional efforts shall still be exerted to meet the environmental management and monitoring requirements of the project. The following are being recommended:

a) Continued coordination among and across teams through timely communication and provision of complete and updated information; b) A register of lessons learned shall be maintained in order to apply the same in similar future situations; c) Continued IEC to apprise the stakeholders of project progress and development; d) Increase the number and diversity of DOTr environment staff; e) Continuous capability-building investment on a wider range of safeguard subject matters for the DOTr staff; f) Contractors when they come on board shall undergo environment (and social) safeguards induction training to orient them of the environmental (and social) safeguards requirements of the project; g) Contractors must have capable environmental staff (in its Environmental Management Unit) to manage the environmental management and monitoring requirements of their contracts; and h) Contractor management must provide the resources to enable their staff to perform their work alongside DOTr and the GC. 93. Activities that are planned in the next reporting period following the completion of the preparatory activities, and award of construction contracts include but not limited to the following:

• Coordinate closely with the EMB-CO for the issuance of an amended ECC following their satisfactory review of the submitted revised EIS, EMP and EMoP; • Provide copies of the updated DD EIS, ECC and EMP to the Contractors as basis for the preparation of their CEMMP consistent with the requirements of General Specifications 118 (GS118) of the Contractors’ contracts; • Baseline environmental quality measurements to be conducted by the Contractors as required in the EMP; • Increase the number of DOTr EMU Staff to oversee GCR and Contractor EMP and EMoP implementation; • From among the DOTr EMU staff, send as many of these staff for PCO training, and designate adequate number of candidates per region who will be responsible for reporting in compliance with EMB CO requirements under the PEISS; • GCR to approve the CEMPs and copies provided to DOTr and ADB for review; • Award of the contract for EMA currently being tendered by GCR; • Development and refinement of Monitoring Manual that includes monitoring and reporting checklists (sample report templates are provided here as Appendix O to this updated SEMR) • Establishment of registers of project activities, documents, incidents, among other information that will be useful for project supervision, and will form part of important inputs to the project completion report (Appendix P); • Improved IEC Program and its implementation; 52

• Conduct public consultations using recent project information to Project-affected communities and LGU officials emphasizing environment, and community health and safety; • Completion and finalization of draft SDP; • Submission to DENR of the third Compliance Monitoring Report (CMR); • Submission of detailed plan for tree cutting and earth-balling, and replanting of native/endemic trees to DENR; • Greening Program MOA signing between DENR, DOTr and PNR; • Tree cutting permit issuance by DENR Region 3 and PCA; • Conduct of the detailed Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) in coordination with the concerned LGUs for every proposed station prior to Project construction; • Establishment of MMT, EMF and EGF; • Engagement of the EMA; • Establishment and commencement of formal operations of HSEC; • Review and approval of Contractor’s Waste Management Plan (WMP) and Construction Environmental Management and Monitoring Plan (CEMMP); • Review and approval of updated DD EIS by DENR-EMB; • Diligent updating and coordination with concerned government agencies, LGUs, businesses and communities on the potential changes in project scope; • DOTr and GCR will monitor compliance to the EMP and EMoP by the Contractors; and • Integrate monitoring results in the next SEMR for submission to the ADB. Copies of the SEMR shall be provided to the EMA for their assessment as well.

4. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

1651. The DOTr is committed to minimize any adverse impacts, which could arise from the construction, operation, and abandonment of the proposed project. It will do so by formulating an Environmental Management Program (EMP) to manage the Project’s impacts and risks, adopt the best available proven control technologies and procedures, undergo a continuing process of review and positive action in the light of available monitoring results and continuing consultation with the local communities. Regular consultations with the affected people and relevant offices/ agencies will be conducted by the contractor during construction phase and by the DOTr during operation phase to ensure adequate and timely mitigation of project adverse environmental impacts. DOTr will provide notification to DENR- EMB, ADB, and JICA on any unanticipated environmental risks or impacts that arise during construction, implementation, and/or operation of the Project that were not considered in the EIS and EMP.

1652. Basically, the EMP aims to achieve an exemplary environmental performance in the pre-construction, construction, and operation of the Project. In order to meet this goal, the following activities/ measures/ programs will have to be implemented:

 Environmental Policy;  Application of Mitigation/ Management Measures;  Environmental Monitoring Program;  Social Development Program;  Emergency and Contingency Plan;  Information, Education and Communication Plan;  Construction Contractor’s Program; and  Institutional Plan and Hiring of an Environmental/Safety Officer.

1653. Overall, the DOTr is the Implementing Agency of the Project. The Project Management Office (PMO) for the North-South Commuter Railway Extension Project (NSCR-Ex), DOTr is the primary point of contact with DENR-EMB, ADB and JICA with regards to environmental management of the Project. The following chapters of the EIS is included in the bid documents: Chapter 4 (Environmental Management Plan), Chapter 8 (Environmental Compliance Monitoring), and Chapter 10 (Institutional Arrangements for EMP Implementation), to ensure that the mitigation measures will be properly implemented and monitored during all phases of the Project. The project will hire General Consultant (GC) that includes an International Environment Specialist and a National Environment Specialist that will assist the DOTr in the monitoring of compliance of the project with the EMP. During project implementation, the DOTr-PMO will be assisted by a third party environmental consultant/monitor in the monitoring of environmental parameters of the Project.

Table 4.1 Environment Management Plan for the Proposed NSCR Calamba Extension Project ...... 4-2

4-1 Environmental Impact Statement Report (EISR) North - South Commuter Railway Calamba Extension Project

4. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN 1. The DOTr is committed to minimize any adverse impacts, which could arise from the construction, operation, and abandonment of the proposed project. It will do so by formulating an Environmental Management Program (EMP) to manage the Project’s impacts and risks, adopt the best available proven control technologies and procedures, undergo a continuing process of review and positive action in the light of available monitoring results and continuing consultation with the local communities. Regular consultations with the affected people and relevant offices/ agencies will be conducted by the contractor during construction phase and by the DOTr during operation phase to ensure adequate and timely mitigation of project adverse environmental impacts. DOTr will provide notification to DENR-EMB, ADB and JICA on any unanticipated environmental risks or impacts that arise during construction, implementation and/or operation of the Project that were not considered in the EIA and EMP. 2. Basically, the EMP will aim to achieve an exemplary environmental performance in the pre-construction, construction, and operation of the proposed Project. In order to meet this goal, the following activities/ measures/ programs will have to be implemented: • Environmental Policy; • Application of Mitigation/ Management Measures; • Environmental Monitoring Program; • Resettlement Action Plan; • Social Development Program; • Emergency and Contingency Plan; • Information, Education and Communication Plan;Construction Contractor’s Program; and • Institutional Plan and Hiring of an Environmental/ Safety Officer.

3. Overall, the DOTr will be the Implementing Agency of the Project. The Project Management Office (PMO) of DOTr will be the primary point of contact with EMB, ADB and JICA with regards to environmental management of the project. The following chapters of the EIS will be included in the bid documents: Chapter 4 (Environmental Management Plan), Chapter 8 (Environmental Compliance Monitoring), and Chapter 10 (Institutional Arrangements for EMP Implementation), to ensure that the mitigation measures will be properly implemented and monitored during all project phases of the project. The Project will hire General Consultant (GC) that includes an International Environment Specialist and a National Environment Specialist that will assist the DOTr in the monitoring of compliance of the project with the EMP. During the operation phase, the DOTr-PMO will be assisted by third party environmental consultant/monitor/auditors in the monitoring of environmental parameters of the project. 4. Table 4.1 presents the EMP for the Project.
