Executive Summary

1. This report is the 4th 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 April to September 2021.

2. This report is divided into two parts: Section 1) Project Details that presents the key project information focusing on environmental compliance requirements (i.e., EMP, ECC and loan covenants), implementation arrangements and structure, coordination and reporting requirements, and information disclosure; and Section 2) Project Updates on the Environmental Performance Monitoring covered in Section 0.

3. The NSCR Clark Extension Project is part of the government’s flagship North-South Commuter Railway (NSCR) Project, a 163.6 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) 37.9-km section Malolos–Solis–Tutuban, which began construction in early 2019 and is expected to start operation in 2022, (ii) the 53-km NSCR Clark Extension Project (the proposed Project), which was slated to commence construction in 2020 and start partial operation in 2023, 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 partial operation by 2025. 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).

4. The NSCR Clark Extension Project is co-financed by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) on a parallel collaborative basis. JICA is financing the core system and consulting services. ADB is financing civil works 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. To date, construction contracts have been awarded for Contract Packages (CPs) N-01 to N-05.

5. The Environmental Compliance Certificates (ECC) for the NSCR Clark Extension Project (ECC-CO-1807-0017) and the NSCR Calamba Extension Project (ECC-CO-1807-0018) were both issued on 13 August 2018.

6. A request for an ECC amendment was processed for the Project by submitting to DENR-EMB CO an updated EIS in July 2021 for the NSCR Calamba Extension (ECC-CO-1807-0018). A response letter pertaining to the additional information on the Project Alignment was sent to DENR-EMB CO on 21 July 2021. On 16 August 2021, a meeting with DENR-EMB CO (EIMD and review committee) was conducted to discuss the requested information. Further, DENR-EMB CO issued an order payment for the ECC amendment on 3 September 2021, and the Amended ECC was received on 20 September 2021 through a letter with IIS no. CO-2021-026417. The NSCR Calamba Extension now includes 19 stations and a 22-ha depot in Banlic, Calamba, Laguna.

7. Lichel Technologies Inc. (LTI) was engaged by DOTr on 2 November 2020, through its General Consultant (GC), to fulfill the dual role of the Project’s Third-Party Auditor (TPA) in lieu of a Multipartite Monitoring Team (MMT) as required by DENR, and the External Monitoring Agency (EMA) as required by ADB and JICA (Error! Reference source not found.). The TPA/EMA shall be carrying out independent external monitoring to assess the project’s implementation of the Environmental Management Plan (EMP), Environmental Monitoring Plan (EMoP), environmental contractual obligations, effects and impacts of the EMP and the EMoP implementation, and the extents to which environmental management objectives are being achieved.

8. The Notices to Proceed (NTPs) for all the NSCR Clark Extension Project Contract Packages have been issued on 07 December 2020 for CP N-01, CP N-02 and CP N-03, on 30 October 2020 for CP N-04, and on 08 October 2020 for CP N-05 (Error! Reference source not found., Error! Reference source not found., Error! Reference source not found., Error! Reference source not found., Error! Reference source not found., and Error! Reference source not found.). However, construction of permanent works has not commenced during this monitoring period due to delayed site handover to the contractors/construction commencement date was moved to 28 July 2021, hence reported activities continue to be related to compliance requirements of the ECC encompassing pre-construction activities and enabling works.

9. The civil works contractors of all contract packages have started establishing their respective Environmental Management Units (EMUs)establishing their respective Environmental Management Units (EMUs) that are responsible for ensuring compliance with the ECC, EMP, and EMoP. As of this monitoring period, all CEMMPs were already given a NONO status and copies of these had been submitted to DENR along with the CMR for the 1st semester of 2021.. Environmental baseline sampling activities have also been conducted in CP N-05 (January 2021, CP N-04, and CP N01) and February 2021, respectively.

10. Certificates of Non-Coverage (CNCs) have been acquired by the CP N-01, CP N-02, CP N-04 and CP N-05 contractors for their temporary offices. In addition, CP N-01, CP N-02, CP N-03, and CP N-04werealso able to acquire an ECC for their laydown area and have started construction of the temporary facilities.

11. 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.

12. Meanwhile, compliance with pre-construction requirements is being undertaken by DOTr.

2.4 Environmental Monitoring Results

22. During this monitoring period, environmental baseline sampling activities have been conducted in the remaining contract packages CP N-02 (August 2021) and CP N-03 (June and August 2021). Sampling stations in CP N-01 and CP N-03 were not sampled during this monitoring period due to commercial and/or procurement concerns between the contracrors and the third-party laboratory. Sampling stations in CP N-02 and CP N-03 established their baseline in June and August. Sampling stations that indicate not scheduled apply for the months where monitoring is conducted quarterly (ambient air quality and surface water quality) and once before construction (groundwater quality), except for CP N-05 surface water quality monitoring that is conducted weekly due to ongoing construction activities are adjacent to Dolores River. Sampling stations indicating not analyzed were either the parameters are not included in the contractors’ contract (Color and Electric Conductivity), or the third-

76

party laboratory did not provide results for the parameter(s). Delayed laboratory results will be presented in the next monitoring period.

23. Presented in Table 7 to Table 11 are the baseline and monitoring results for ambient air quality, surface water quality, grounwater quality, noise level and vibration level of the five contract packages of NSCR Clark Extension for the months of April to September 2021.

2.5 Contractual Arrangements

24. All civil works contractors have started the establishment of its respective Environmental Management Units (EMUs) that are capable of meeting the requirements of the EMP/EMoP. As of this monitoring report, acting and designated Environmental Managers in Contract Packages N-01 to N-05 have been mobilized on site. Environmental baseline sampling activities have also been conducted in CP N-05 and CP N-04.

25. The contractors have also started construction of the temporary facilities. A Certificate of Non-Coverage (CNC) has been acquired for the temporary facility of CP N-05. Similarly, CNC has also been acquired for the temporary office of CP N-01 while an ECC has already been acquired for the laydown area. Only clearing and grubbing works for CP N-04 and CP N-05 are ongoing during this monitoring period.

26. Construction activities for permanent works have not commenced during this monitoring period, hence compliance to contractual arrangements reported are limited to preparation of the environmental impacts management plans which form parts of the CEMMP, permits and clearances acquisition, and enabling works.

The ILTAC committee meetings were held before and after the tree validations to present the details of the project and discuss the data gathered and the ways forward. Details of the activities for information disclosure are provided in Section 2.6

2.9 Assistance to Tree-related Compensation

32. Due to the lack of available appraisal services for standing crops and trees, the Project was advised by the Philippine Commission on Audit (COA) to apply Section 2.11. Appraisal of Crops/Trees of the DPWH ROW Acquisition Manual. As stated in this section, the Implementing Office (IO) may engage the services of a GFI (Government Financial Institution)/IPA (Independent Property Appraiser) to undertake the appraisal of affected crops and trees. The IO may also directly do the appraisal of the crops and trees if it has the in-house capability to do so, using latest applicable established market values of the following entities: Department of Agriculture (DA) for crops; Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA) for coconut trees; Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) for perennials and timber trees; Department of Finance (DOF); and Local Government Units (LGUs), Assessor’s Offices, for individual trees.

33. Prior to this Project, DOTr has encountered the same situation in their Metro Manila Subway Project, and created an Inter-LGU Tree Appraisal Committee (ILTAC). The objective of the ILTAC is to create a valuation matrix for PACTs based on the values to be provided by its member offices (i.e., LGU Agriculture Office, LGU Assessor’s Office, and the LGU Environment and Natural Resources Office). With this precedent, NSCR Clark Extension applied the same and ILTACs were formed in all the Project LGUs.

34. Several tree-related activities were conducted to assist in the resettlement and compensation activities of the Project. During this monitoring period, the following were accomplished.

● Assistance in formation of Intra-LGU Tree Appraisal Committees (ILTACs)

● Ongoing assistance in tree valuation and appraisal activities

● Ongoing assistance in LNO Acquisition

● Updating of the schedule for tree-related activities, including CNO and LNO acquisition, submission of permit application for CP N-04 trees, and follow-up activities for the appraisal of trees in CP N-05.

● Preparation of documents and data required for the tree cutting/earth balling permit application for CP N-01 to CP N-03 in line with the revised guidelines released by the DENR

● Assistance in tree valuation and appraisal activities

111

● Continued assistance in encoding of information required in the LNO acquisition from private landowners with affected trees for use in Tree Cutting/Earth balling Permit Applications

2.10 Grievance Redress Mechanism

35. Among the developments on GRM during this monitoring period include, the Project GRM has been established and is ongoing further improvements for an organized management. Focal persons from DOTr, NSCR-EX PMO and the GC have been assigned for both environment and social grievances. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and in compliance with the Department of Health (DOH) Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) guidelines, DOTr GR Officers were pulled out from physical assignments at the LGU helpdesks. GRM continued processing grievances through the contractors and online / telecommunication means.

36. The grievances received during this monitoring period are are presented in Table 15, where most concerns are related to RAP and are general queries. The main channels used by the public to relay the grievances to the GRM Team were telephone, SMS (short message service), e-mail, and personal (physical attendance). From these channels, the grievances received were screened and recorded for organized tracking and to determine the referral to the correct persons and offices. When the grievances were not resolved at the Local and Central level, the grievance is forwarded to the PCO assigned in the Contract Package where the grievance was raised.

4 The Project during the COVID-19 Pandemic

44. As the world adapts to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Government of the Philippines took action by declaring an Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) on 16 March 2020 in Luzon. The Project being located in Bulacan and Pampanga in Luzon, the Project ensures that all its personnel from DOTr, PNR, the GC and the contractors are implementing the resolutions and guidelines prescribed by the COVID-19 Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) of the Department of Health (DOH). Within the months covering this monitoring period, the IATF has issued a total of 30 resolutions and ten guidelines4 for the entire nation to implement, including this Project.

45. All Project personnel are expected to comply with the basic protocol of:

• Regular and thorough washing of hands with soap and water, sanitation of hands with alcohol-based sanitizers, and wearing of gloves;

• Wearing of face masks and face shields at all times in the workplaces, common office areas (work desks, meeting rooms, pantries, vehicles, among others);

• Keep physical distancing of 1 m to 2 m, reduce the required number of people in enclosed work areas, and minimize physical meetings; and

• Regular proper sanitation and disinfection of the personnel and the workplaces.

4.1 DOTr’s COVID-19 Management System

46. Apart from the protocols enumerated in para. 45, the DOTr personnel for NSCR Clark Extension Project are also covered by the department-wide guidelines, wherein majority were required to work remotely from home and physical reporting to offices and project sites were limited to skeletal force only or 10% capacity of the reporting workplace. Communication and coordination with PNR, the GC, and the contractors were limited e-mails and online meetings. Site visits were restricted, and the GC attends on DOTr’s behalf, as needed. Everyone who will join ground activities is required to take the swab test. No one is allowed to join ground activities without a negative result, including the drivers. PPEs are also provided.

4.2 PNR’s COVID-19 Management System

47. Apart from the protocols enumerated in para. 45, the PNR personnel NSCR Clark Extension Project are covered by the organization-wide guidelines. PNR is also promoting the BIDA Solusyon sa COVID-19 campaign that encourages the Filipino people to take an active role in the fight against our common enemy, COVID-19. As a means for crowd management, PNR also manages the entry of non-passenger of workers and visitors by requiring to apply for permit and pass to enter the PNR premises.

115

Communication and coordination with DOTr, the GC and the contractors were also limited e-mails and online meetings. Site visits were also restricted.

48. PNR being a government institution implemented the IATF prescribed COVID-19 Protocols. In addition, per instruction of Sec. Tugade, all railway personnel undergone testing based on risk and targeted approach. This is in order to ensure the safety and overall well-being of commuters, and to further avert the spread of COVID-19 especially to rail workers. The testing of its personnel has contributed to the line’s limited operations since the enforcement of the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) in the National Capital Region (NCR), Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna, and Rizal was extended in April 2021.

4.3 General Consultant’s COVID-19 Management System

49. Apart from the protocols enumerated in para. 45, the GC for the NSCR Clark Extension Project implements a consortium-wide guidelines through the following.

• Communicating the risks and educating GC personnel with proper hygiene and physical distancing by posting information posters in the GC workplaces in Manila, Bulacan and Pampanga;

• Provision of face masks, hand sanitizers and alcohol for office use;

• Immediate implementation of work from home arrangement for all GC personnel starting 17 March 2020, except those approved by the GC Project Director for essential work only;

• Implementation work from home country arrangement for selected GC experts who were outside of the Philippines when the quarantine guidelines and travel restrictions were strictly implemented by the Government of the Philippines;

• Reduction on the number of GC personnel required to physically report to the GC workplaces in Manila, Bulacan and Pampanga;

• Transportation arrangements for GC personnel were provided, wherein the number of passengers are restricted to minimize potential exposure to COVID-19;

• GCR Management allowed its personnel to opt for a “flex-time” to compensate for early/late log-in and log-out to work due to travel arrangements from 07:00 to 09:00 and 16:00 to 18:00 respectively, as long as eight hours of work will be rendered in GC workplaces;

• Conducting a monthly rapid testing, which started in June 2020, accommodating both GC and DOTr personnel; and

• Closure of Manila GC office during disinfection schedule.

4.4 Contractors’ COVID-19 Management System

50. Apart from the protocols enumerated in para. 45, the NSCR Clark Extension Project contractors implement a contract package-wide, by company, based on their COVID-19 Related Health and Safety Risk Management Plans. Contractors administer antigen tests for their workers and require their visitors to be tested and present a negative result prior to conducting the activity on-site. Newly mobilized employees are required to bring negative results upon mobilization. To reduce the risk of viral transmission, limited face-to-face meetings are being held.

116

5 Conclusion

51. The safeguard elements to be complied with at this stage include the necessary 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) Monitoring the implementation of CEMMPs, EMP and EMoP

3) Acquisition of permits and clearances for each contract package

4) Continuing establishment of EMUs of each contract package

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

53. 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.

54. 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 TPA.

55. DOTr continues to build the number of staff, and their environmental 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.

56. The major tasks accomplished during this monitoring 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 amended ECC has been issued by the DENR and has been forwarded to the Contractors to reflect in their CEMMP submissions. Relevant enabling activities such as clearing and grubbing, construction of temporary facilities, and baseline monitoring have been conducted. The TPA/EMA has also been onboarded.CMR was submitted to DENR-EMB CO on 30 July 2021.

57. Overall, Project preparation and pre-construction, and 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;

117

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 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.

58. Activities that are planned in the next monitoring period following the completion of the preparatory activities include but not limited to the following:

● DOTr EU Staff and PCOs to begin overseeing on site Contractors’ EMP and EMoP implementation;

● From among the DOTr EU 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 DENR-EMB CO requirements under the PEISS. As of this monitoring period, five PMO EU personnel completed the 40-hr PCO Training from 26–30 April 2021. Eight PMO EU personnel for NSCR Clark and Calamba Extension have applied for PCO accreditation, all three NSCR Clark Extension PCOs have been accredited in August and September 2021, while the five PCOs for the NSCR Calamba Extension have their accreditation applications being evaluated by DENR-EMB NCR and Region 4A.;

● GCR to approve the CEMMPs and copies provided to DOTr and ADB for review;

● Refinement of Monitoring Manual that includes monitoring and reporting checklists

● Improvement 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 (refer to appendices);

● Improved IEC Program and its implementation;

● 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 of the final detailed plan for tree cutting and earth-balling, and replanting of native/endemic trees to DENR;

● Finalization and signing of the Greening Program MOA between DENR, DOTr and PNR;

● Tree cutting permit issuance by DENR Region 3 for remaining PACTs without permit and by the Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA) for project-affected coconuts;

● Establishment of EGF and EGF Committee;

118

● Establishment and commencement of formal operations of HSEC;

● Diligent updating and coordination with concerned government agencies, LGUs, businesses and communities on the potential changes in project scope;

● DOTr and GCR will continuously 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.

59. The Project, DOTr, PNR, the GC and the contractors are implementing best efforts to achieve project progress amidst the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic by complying with the Philippines’ DOH IATF guidelines as reference for on-site and organization-wide management plans and protocols.
