ENVIRONMENTAL & SOCIAL MONITORING REPORT (JULY - DECEMBER 2017) 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background 1.1.1 Airport operations in Mactan Island started in 1966 with the inauguration of the Mactan Alternate International Airport (MAIA). MAIA was established as the replacement to the Lahug Airport located within Cebu City due to the physical and safety problems the old airport was facing. MAIA was later expanded to become the Mactan Cebu International Airport (MCIA) under the jurisdictions of the Mactan Cebu International Airport Authority (MCIAA) by virtue of Republic Act 6958 promulgated in 1990. The existing airport consists of a passenger terminal building with six aerobridges (serves both the domestic and international flights), a parking bay (425 x 295 m), a parking ramp, and two (2) aprons: south apron (250 x 100 m) and north east apron (220 x 95m), a single runway, and General Aviation. 1.1.2 The Government of the Philippines through the Department of Transport and Communication (DOTC) in conjunction with Mactan Cebu International Airport Authority (MCIAA) has awarded the Project titled “Mactan Cebu International Airport Project” to a consortium comprising of GMR Infrastructure Limited and Megawide Construction Corporation, by way of Public Private Partneship (PPP) model on 22 April 2014. To this effect, a 25 year Concession Agreement (CA) has been granted to GMR Megawide Cebu Airport Corporation (GMCAC) a company incorporated by the consortium and registered within the Philippines. 1.1.3 The operations and maintenance of the airport terminal shall be turned over by the Mactan-Cebu International Airport Authority (MCIAA) to GMCAC, beginning in November 2014 while MCIAA continues to have responsibility of airside operations. 1.1.4 The development works are planned to be executed in two phases: Phase 1 is for all the works to be developed for the requirements based on the forecasted demand up to the design year 2024. Phase 2 is for all the works to be further developed for the requirements based on the forecasted demand up to the design year 2039. 1.1.5 The new terminal and other facilities will be built within the project boundary given to GMCAC by MCIAA. As of today, encroachments or claims by private individuals on these lands are not found. Also as of now no outstanding issues or claims on land on which existing facilities to be renovated are located exist. There are no other project facilities which will require any further land acquisition, land purchase or ROW acquisition or clearance. The first parcel of land (previously occupied by the Philippine Airforce/PAF) was handed over by the grantors to GMCAC on June 1, 2015 with the remaining parcels being handed over on December 31, 2015. PAF facility replication, per concession agreement, will be under the responsibility of MCIAA/grantor which was properly done and enabled the land handover process. 1.2 Objective 1.2.1 The objective of the Environmental and Social Performance Report (ESPR) is to report on implementation of the agreed Environmental Management Plan (EMP), Environmental Monitoring Plan (EMoP) and applicable environmental and social management practices stakeholder engagement and community relations. 2. Environmental Management Plan (EMP), Social Development Plan (SDP) and Corporate Social Responsibilities (CSR) Implementation 2.1 The EMP including the monitoring plan is continuously reviewed internally. Improvements are decided and carried out as soon as internal management approval is achieved. Third party environmental monitoring is being conducted for air and water quality. Table 1 shows the summary of the monitoring being conducted with the corresponding frequency. DENR-EMB approved test-methodologies were used for the determination of the parameters listed in Table 1 See Annex 1 for the Sampling Stations and Annex 2 for the monitoring results for the period July to December 2017.
