THE EIA STUDY RESULTS

Pozo Robo Beach Club Area

Physical Characteristics

• Boundary line of foreshore areas has an intact vegetation• Wide white beach and tidal flat• Karst and ultramafic forest in adjacent areas has pristine

vegetation• Larger portion of the 80 hectares has flat terrain• Agricultural activities has done in the past (coconut plantation,

poultry and piggery raising and planting of fruit trees • All the 80 hectares is covered by land titles• Few areas has clearings (where temporary structures are

constructed)• Temporary sheds and tourism structures for tourism are inplaced• Access small road/trail was constructed bisecting the 80 hectares

area• Slight traces of soil erosion• No sign of severe degradation of the ecosystems• With good water quality

Anguib Beach Club Area

Physical Characteristics

• Wide white beach and tidal flat• Good mangrove stands in adjacent boundaries• Relatively flat terrain• Old coconut plantation • Private land• Vegetated with beach forest • Temporary sheds and structures for tourism are inplaced• Access through land and sea transport system• Slight traces of soil erosion• No sign of severe degradtion of the ecosystems• With good water quality

PROJECT IMPACTS LAND

Potential Impact

- Increased soil erosion- Sedimentation of the coastal area - Landslides due to improper earth movement during

construction phase, i.e., access/service road, etc.- Loss of vegetation – land clearing- Soil and water contamination- Lost of important habitat of biological resources

Mitigating Measures

- Restoration of the ecosystems – tree planting activities- Protection and conservation of biological resources- Proper scheduling of construction works- Installation of siltation ponds- Proper storage/disposal of waste materials- Secure tree cutting permit from proper authorities - No structures shall be put up in foreshore areas w/o

foreshore lease agreement issued by the DENR - 30 meters buffer strips along the boundaries of the

foreshore areas must be maintained

WATER AND AIR QUALITYPotential Impact

- Siltation of the coastal area due to soil erosion - Water contamination due to spillage of liquid/waste water and

improper solid waste disposal- Destruction of habitat of marine organism- Dust pollution during construction phase

Mitigating Measures

- Restoration of critical areas prone to soil erosion – tree planting- Installation of erosion control measures- Proper timing of construction works – no work during rainy season- Proper maintenance of heavy equipment to avoid oil spills- Control dust through regular spraying of water to the construction site

and dusty roads- Cover hauling trucks during transport of sand and gravel material- Regular maintenance of heavy equipment to reduce GHG- maintain good water quality- Establishment of water treatment and solid waste management facilities according to standards

PEOPLE

Potential Impact- Fear on closure of fishing grounds- Fear on access to the coastal area- Lack of consultation and coordination to the host barangay- Influx of migrant workers as a result of employment opportunities during

construction and operation phase- Occupational health and safety hazards

Mitigating Measures- Increase interaction/consultations with the host barangay and the municipality- Fishing grounds must be open to fisherfolks at all times- Regulate entry of people in the coastal areas adjacent to the resort- Continuous intensive education and awareness campaign- Priority employment given to the local population according to skills required- Create livelihood options for the local communities through CSR fund- Create scholarship program for deserving children in the municipality as part of the

company social responsibility- Provide regular safety training for all workers
