3.0 PROJECT ALTERNATIVES
ALTERNATIVES ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS

Wet Process • Land: Site preparation and earthworks for a wider tract of land may entail
Cement Plant considerable changes in the surface landform/terrain/slope and threat to terrestrial
ecology due to vegetation removal and loss of habitat. Solid waste generation may be
high due to use of more resources and employment of more personnel.
• Water: Operation will require higher water supply requirement that may, in turn,
result to competition in water use and higher wastewater generation.
• Air: Dust emissions from the cement processing may adversely affect ambient air
quality in the project area if not properly mitigated. Emissions from the engines may
also adversely affect ambient air quality in the project area if not properly mitigated.
• People: Local benefits from the large-scale project (i.e., increased employment, social
and economic activities, tax revenues, and basic social services) may be greater.
However, dust generated from the cement plant may cause adverse health effects to
the community and workers if not properly mitigated.
Dry Process • Land: Site preparation and earthworks for a wider tract of land may entail
Cement Plant considerable changes in the surface landform/terrain/slope and threat to terrestrial
ecology due to vegetation removal and loss of habitat. Solid waste generation may be
high due to use of more resources and employment of more personnel.
• Water: Water supply requirement is limited to domestic use and may pose little to no
competition in water use. Wastewater generation is expected to be low.
• Air: Dust emissions from the cement processing may adversely affect ambient air
quality in the project area if not properly mitigated. Emissions from the engines may
also adversely affect ambient air quality in the project area if not properly mitigated.
• People: Local benefits from the large-scale project (i.e., increased employment, social
and economic activities, tax revenues, and basic social services) may be greater.
However, dust generated from the cement plant may cause adverse health effects to
the community and workers if not properly mitigated.
No-Project • Land: The land use in the area will still be allotted for industries, according to the
Scenario 2017-2026 CLUP of Calatagan.
• Air: Current ambient condition will remain to be affected by the soon-to-be operated
industrial park. Low levels of air pollutants such as SO2, NOx, CO, and TSP will still be
experienced; changes in the micro-climate will be minimal in the absence of the
proposed project.
• Water: Ambient water quality of the Balayan Bay will remain the same, while elevated
levels of Nitrates and Fecal Coliform will remain in the groundwater.
• People: The no-project scenario entails loss of local employment and service
opportunities. If the project is not pursued, the supply of cement will be affected,
especially with the Duterte Administration’s push for infrastructure development
under the “Build, Build, Build” program.
