CHAPTER 1
Introduction
1.1 PURPOSE
Being blessed with numerous scenic spots and beautiful beaches and home
to the Cagayan Economic Zone Authority (CEZA), Sta. Ana is one of the most visited
municipality in the country by both local and foreign tourists.
Fast paced urbanization, growing population and influx of tourist have greatly
contributed to the increasing generation of solid wastes. The growing tourism
industry and importation of pollutants and other hazardous substances had been a
critical issue faced by the municipality. Moreover, the lack of solid waste
management systems particularly in the households and barangays has long been
an issue that needs to be addressed.
Given the LGU’s primary role to enforce and implement the provisions of RA
9003 otherwise known as the “Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000”, the
municipality envisions for a more responsive functional system of waste reduction,
reuse, recycling, and disposal. Moreover, strong political will and support of the
people by making proper solid waste management as an integral part of their lives
are one best formula in the attainment of the municipality’s goal.
Republic Act 9003 points out and focuses proper management and disposal
of wastes. It also advocates the principle that the best ESWM program is the
reduction and minimization of solid wastes. The law also emphasizes recycling of
solid wastes in support to livelihood programs of the LGU, thus, providing additional
income to the community.
1.2 APPROACH
1.3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The officialdom of Santa Ana, Cagayan, headed by the Local Chief Executive
Hon. Nelson P. Robinion, recognizes with gratitude the collective efforts of the SWM
Board together with the SWM- TWG who painstakingly inhibit themselves to perform
such documentary works in order to successfully complete the SWM Plan.
The utmost support of the Sangguniang Bayan Members thru the Committee
Chairman on Environment SB Delfin A. Nepomuceno III and other members is also
highly appreciated. Their keen observations and ideal recommendations encouraged
the TWG to exert more effort in coming up with a more realistic strategies and action
plans.
We give our sincerest gratitude to For. George Canapi, Engr. Nica C. Camarao,
Ms. Elisa L. Macarubbo, Engr. Maila Adviento of the Environmental Management
Bureau (EMB) Region 2, who endlessly shared their technical expertise and time in
order to facilitate the completion of the plan. Through the series of guided
workshops, write shops and cross-visits, the team wholeheartedly transferred the
technology of planning to the Technical Working Group (TWG). Special mention of
good work is also accorded to MLGOO Rommel Aquino, for his guidance and support.
We also recognize the involvement of the sixteen (16) Barangays and the LnB,
various sectors and institutions during the preliminary activities that paved way to
the preparation of the SWM Plan.
Finally, we extend our appreciation to the general citizenry who, in one way
or another, has shown their interest imperative to the smooth preparation and
implementation of the plan.
CHAPTER 2
LGU Profile
The place has a total land area of 44,130 hectares representing about 4.9
percent of the total land area of the Province of Cagayan. It owns a shoreline distance
of 97.709 kilometers, 1,234.49 square kilometers of municipal waters, 4,490.0
square kilometers agricultural area, 28,532 hectares of forest including mangrove
with an area of 512.23 hectares open grassland, and 452 hectares built-up area
where residential, public and private institutions and facilities are erected. Road
networks and utilities measures 131.64 hectares and 2,931.36 hectares of rivers and
creeks.
The Municipality of Santa Ana is dubbed as the “Game Fishing Mecca of the
Philippines” and “Paradise of the Northeast”. It is located 70 kms. East of Aparri via
the first class Aparri-Sta. Ana corridor highway; 150 kms.North of Tuguegarao City;
the capital city of Cagayan Valley; and 632 kilometers north of Manila. The town can
be easily reached by a 45-minute plane flight from Manila via Tuguegarao Airport
and from there, it takes a 3-hour trip by road to Santa Ana via Dugo-San Vicente
National Highway.
The municipality has 16 barangays. Brgy. San Vicente has the largest
population with 4,856 residents. The 2015 census of the National Statistic Office
(NSO) states that Sta. Ana has a population of 32,906 people with a growth rate of
1.61%. The household population stands at 7,821.
Port Irene is located in Sta. Ana which is becoming a major point for regional
transshipment operations. Port Irene is only a 45-minute flight from Kaohsiung, the
prime industrial and shipping center of Taiwan. Likewise, Santa Ana is also a 45-
minute air flight distance from the City of Manila. There is no wonder that most
locators of CEZA come from Taiwan and some from the Mainland China.
2.2 HISTORY
The place now called the Municipality of Santa Ana was formerly called
Palawig. Its first inhabitants were the Negritoes and “Hacheros” (meaning
woodcutters) under the Don Julian Astigarraga, a concessionaire from Aparri.
In 1917, a group of Ilocanos came to San Vicente to survey agricultural lands.
Seeing that the place is suitable for farming, they filed homestead applications but
were disapproved.
When Gonzaga, the mother town, was created in 1918, Pedro Agarpao and
son Felipe with some other fishermen from Minanga (still a barangay of Gonzaga
today) settled at the river banks of Palawig (from the negrito word “pasawig,” meaning
“mouth of the river”). From thence, Palawig became the popular name of the place.
the sitio of Marede. Through the leadership of Federico Navarro, six homesteads were
approved for the settlers of Marede. These settlers organized another “gimong” called
“Dagupan.” The same was so called because the members came from different places.
In 1935, the groups “Inanama” and “Dagupan” fused into one called “Da
Inanama.” The members thought it wise to work for the separation of Palawig from
its surrounding barrios and become a municipality independent from Gonzaga.
Application and other necessary papers were submitted to the municipal Council of
Gonzaga, which in turn endorsed them to the department of Interior. The committee
receive an answer stating that the application for a new municipality was held in
abeyance because the population of 3,000 did not met the needed of 5,000 as
required by law. During that time, settlers hiked to Sta. Ana or they came by boats
because the national road was not yet passable. It was one of causes of the slow
increase of population.
The fruit of the labor came only in 1949. The municipality was created by
virtue of Executive Order No. 289 signed by the President Elpidio Quirino on October
21, 1949. Palawig and other barrios were separated from the municipality of Gonzaga
effective January 1, 1950 and at the same time it was then called Santa Ana.
Ana was not named after a saint who triumphed over a sin. It emerged from
the figment of the minds of three great men whose family names begin with letters
which spell the word ANA of former Governor Arranz and Board Members Navarro
and Avena, who were the incumbent provincial officials during the birth of Santa
Ana.

Municipality of Santa Ana, Cagayan
10-YEAR ECOLOGICAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN
Due to the conflict of boundary between Gonzaga and new Santa Ana, it was
only March 6, 1950 when the new municipality was inaugurated. The first
appointment Mayor was Venerando Udarbe, Sr. and Elpidio A. Tobias, Sr., Vice
Mayor. The first appointed councilors were Sulpicio Leaño, Jose Manzano, Rosendo
Medrano, and Toribio Peneyra.
The first town hall was located in the heart of Palawig, at the house of former
councilor Pantaleon Recolizado. It was only in early 1956 when the construction of
the present town hall at the new site was started through the initiative of the
appointed Municipal Officials. On June 1, 1957 the municipal government was
transferred to its present home, serving as the administrative seat of its sixteen (16)
barangays.
2.3 POPULATION
Santa Ana has a total population of 32,906 (as of 2015) with a population
density of 69 persons/km². Among the 16 Barangays that comprise the Municipality,
Barangay Casambalangan has the biggest population while Barangay Patunungan
has the largest land area. Population growth rate is 1.61% percent, where at present,
the total number of families reached 9,428 and the total number of households
summed up to 8105.

As shown in the table found in the next page, the population in the LGU will
post an annual increase in the next ten years with population in the rural areas
posting greater increase than the urban areas. This implies generation of more solid
wastes in the rural areas than in the urban barangays. Table 2.2 shows the
population projection.

The level of urbanization of Santa Ana, Cagayan is relatively low. About 34%
of its total population in year 2004 was found in the urban areas composed of three
barangays. The rest of the municipality’s population resides in the rural barangays.
In most municipalities all over the country, the urban barangays, which
comprise the Poblacion, are usually the major settlement areas. In the case of the
municipality of Santa Ana, Cagayan, aside from barangay Centro, there are also
other major settlement areas located outside the Poblacion namely: Casambalangan
and San Vicente.
For commercial and business establishments, the retail business posts the
greatest number as the operation of sari-sari stores have been increasing annually
particularly in rural areas. While wholesale business and other service providers are
mostly found in the urban barangays. At present, there are eight existing junkshops
operating in the area.
The major sources of livelihood in Sta. Ana are farming and fishing. Almost
five thousand hectares (4,490 hectares) are utilized for agriculture. Rice is the main
crop in the area which is being planted on 2,574 hectares of land. Other major crops
are corn, pineapple, watermelon, root crops, coconut, banana, vegetables and
legumes.
There are also existing pre- and post-harvest facilities such as communal
irrigation systems, small water impounding projects, shallow tube wells and open
source pumps, multi-purpose drying pavement and several agricultural equipment.
In the area of livestock, poultry is the largest with 14,732 followed by pigs with 3,001
heads. Carabaos and cows also abound in the area as they are being raised for
human consumption and for farming. Santa Ana has also bountiful marine
resources. Its municipal water with an area of 1,234.49 km2 is full of fishes and other
harvests.
There are 653 municipal and commercial fishing boats. It must be noted that
the municipality houses one municipal fish port and one provincial fishery station.
The volume of commerce and trading activities is also increasing. The number
of stores and groceries which sell various goods stands at around 175 and there are
more than 100 commercial and trade shops. There is one bank that serves the
municipality. The town’s road network is extensive as it boasts of around 2,450
kilometers of national road and around 16 kilometers of municipal road.
The existing general land use shows that forests and open grasslands cover
28,525 hectares and 7,593 hectares respectively. Agriculture on the other hand
utilizes 4,490 hectares. Furthermore, the town is fairly connected with the rest of
the country. It has postal, telegram, telephone, mobile phone, cable TV and internet
services. Power and water system are also in place. There are around 50 educational
and 10 health institutions that serve the students and residents of Sta. Ana.
Furthermore, the expected rapid development of Sta. Ana is based on the fact
that it is the home of the Cagayan Economic Zone Authority (CEZA) which
administers the Cagayan Special Economic Zone and Freeport. The special economic
zone covers the whole Sta. Ana and the island of Fuga, Barit, and Mabbag which lie
within the territory of Aparri, Cagayan. The distance between Aparri and Sta. Ana is
around 70 kilometers. There are already 87 locators inside the economic zone, of
which 49 were already operational with actual investments of P 3.826 billion as of
end -August 2008, CEZA reported.

mainland Luzon.
1. Slope
Seventy-five percent of the total land area of the municipality has greater than
18% slope and the rest of the area ranges from 0% - 18%. This implies that about
one-fourth (11,032 has.) of the total land area of the municipality can be utilized for
intensive agricultural and urban development. ( See table 2.7)

2. Flood-prone areas
The flood-prone area of Sta. Ana is barangay Parada - Batu which is located
on the lower stream of Palawig River. About 50 hectares of these flood- prone areas
are being utilized as production site for rice, corn, watermelon and vegetable. For
this reason, the establishment of settlements in this area is not recommended or
should be restrained. (Figure 2.2)
Erosion- prone areas of Sta. Ana are those within denuded areas. These are
mostly located along the upper streams of Palawig and Casambalangan Rivers.
Slopes that are greater than 50% are also susceptible to erosion. (See figure 2.4)

F. Climatologically Profile
1. Climate
The climate of Santa Ana falls under the fourth type of climate. Such type is
characterized by having even distribution of rainfall throughout the year. The dry
season begins in the month of March and ends late July. The hottest periods are
the months of April, May and June. Generally, the months of June, July and August
are moderate with occasional rains. The rest of the year is characterized by heavy
downpours. This is characterized as not having very pronounced seasons, relatively
dry from November to April and wet during the rest of the year.
A high relative humidity prevails in the area ranging from 70% to 90% with
an annual mean of 76%. Furthermore, tropical storms frequently visit the area
averaging about 12 typhoons per year. Occurrence of such is usually between the
months of May and November. The occurrence of flood is also within these typhoon
months. Drought is usually experienced during the dry months of April, May and
June.
For Santa Ana has approximately 17% or 7,502 hectares of its land area is being
utilized as cultivation and alienable and disposable (A&D) area. The data presented
above shows that the areas covered are predominantly classified as forestlands and
a significant portion (27.37%) is considered as protected areas. This includes Palaui
Island with 2,439 hectares, Santa Ana with 10,971 hectares of old growth forest
including 598 hectares of mossy forest and 220 hectares of mangrove forest. The
total protected area that Santa Ana covers is estimated at 14,632.31 hectares
including the 568 hectares of the Integrated Social Forestry Program of the
Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
H. Physical Constraints
The major physical constraints for the full development includes the following:
(1) 12,130 hectares of old growth forest; (2) 512.25 hectares of mangroves; (3) 598
hectares of mossy forests; and (4) the entire island of Palaui which has been declared
as a marine reserve.
The other constraints that could affect the development of the area is the
presence of 11,511 hectares of the land having slopes greater than 50%. The
development of these areas will require special considerations and high investments.
The areas with severe erosion, although insignificant should also be taken into
account in the development.
The flatlands (areas with slope from 0% -3%) with an area estimated at 7,356
hectares are easily flooded during heavy downpours that occur in the Sta. Ana site.
Natural hazards are also present in area, which could affect the Sta. Ana. Two
dormant volcanoes (Mt. Didicas – a submarine volcano is located near the area,
which is approximately 55 kms. WNW of Sta. Ana.
CHAPTER 3
2.Municipal Planning and The coordinating body for the conduct of SWM
Development Office projects, programs and any relative
development activity.
The LGU has adequate equipment used in Solid Waste Management. The table
below presents the existing LGU equipment that are utilized in the SWM program:

Aside from the MENRO, there are adequate personnel that cater to SWM
concerns. The table below provides a list of the LGU officials and employees who are
directly in-charge in the implementation of ESWM programs:
Study tours to research on best practices of other LGUs that are applicable and
replicable in the municipality were likewise undertaken by the MSWMB and its TWG.
They are enumerated in the table below:
MUNICIPAL MAYOR
MENRO
The figure above shows the current organizational structure of the LGU
personnel directly involved in implementing ESWM programs of the LGU. The
designated MENRO works along with the above-cited units to ensure a systematic
and effective implementation of SWM.
Segregation at source was not yet fully practiced in the municipality. However,
biodegradable materials collected from waste generators were being processed and
converted into fertilizers which are distributed to farmers. There are some residential
households who undertake composting of bio-degradable waste through compost
pits located in their backyards. The municipality also ban the use of plastic bags
in public markets. Vendors are required to use paper bags in packing their products
as well as “bayongs” for buyers.
Recyclable materials are collected and sold to itinerant buyers and junkshops.
3.4 COLLECTION
At present, the collection of solid waste in the municipality is solely done by
the MLGU focused only on 8 highway barangays, public market and other public
places maintained by the LGU. National government offices and private institutions
practice their own method and schemes in collecting and disposing their generated
waste. Likewise, residential households do the same manner relative to collection
and disposal of their wastes.
The table below presents waste collection scheme in the municipality:
Table 3-5. Waste Collection Scheme
Eight (8) barangays of Santa Ana, Cagayan are not yet covered by the
Municipal Collection Team due to budgetary constraints and distance to national
highways. However, residential households practice traditional composting of
biodegradable wastes and segregate recyclable to be sold to itinerant buyers and
junkshops. Residuals wastes are buried within their backyard.
3.5 TRANSFER
Since the LGU practices the “collect and dump” method of disposing waste,
there are no transfer stations established.
As previously stated, the present service area of the disposal facility is focused
in the public market, eight (8) highway barangays and local government institutions.
However, it is also intended to cover all barangays of the municipality in the near
future. The municipality uses Residual Containment Area (RCA) as the Final
Disposal pending the completion of the proposed Sanitary Landfill. There are no
existing scavengers around the area because they are strictly prohibited from
entering the site.
Special wastes are being disposed and stored in properly covered plastic
container. Special wastes on agricultural products are being managed by the
concerned user and strictly follow the instructional label for both usage and disposal.
There are three (3) main generators of health care waste in the municipality.
These are the infirmary hospital, private hospital and the main rural health unit.
However, the three (3) medical establishments of the municipal government have
their respective disposal and treatment facility for toxic and hazardous waste. This
is done through proper placement under separate containers which are stored safely
with dissolving agents to establish or normalize its hazardous effect before finally
transporting it to the disposal area.
Based on the survey and waste study of the municipality, 228.33 kilos per
day of toxic and hazardous wastes are being generated in the locality. These special
wastes consist both health care and domestic waste generated at source like
syringes, vials, surgical items from the hospital and RHU, and batteries, bulbs,
medical and agricultural supply containers, and cosmetics spray from households.
There are stationed junk shops in the municipality and there are number of
transient scrap vendors from nearby municipalities radiating in the locality to buy
valuable recyclable wastes like plastic, paper, tin, glasses, steel, aluminum and
empty bottles. The table below presents types and quantities of materials accepted
by these mobile junkshops.
In pursuance with the provisions of the Local Government Code of 1991 (RA
No.7160), the LGU has regularly allocated in its Annual Budget for the last three (3)
years an amount necessary for the implementation of the different programs
concerning environmental concerns particularly on solid waste management.
The municipality has incurred revenues for the past years. Garbage collection
fees and related dues were collected by the LGU. SWM fees is being imposed starting
2015 as provided in the SWM Ordinance and upon implementation of the plan.
Funds allocated for SWM were used in the conduct of IEC particularly in the
reproduction of materials and advocacy campaigns to public places and barangays.
Funds were also used in the purchase of SWM equipment and facilities.
A comparison of annual budget and actual expenses for 3 years is shown below

Result of the survey shows that the most common waste diversion strategy is
backyard composting. Quantity of wastes being composted, however, was not
accurately estimated by the respondents. Hence, they were no longer included in
the results. Recyclable materials pegged at 633.03 kilograms included bottles,
plastic containers, tin cans and other materials sold to junkshops and itinerant
buyers.
The above shows that the total waste generation in the municipality is
approximately 12,971.04 kilograms per day comprising of 8071.78 kilograms
biodegradable, 2594.01 kilograms recyclable, 568.10 kilograms residual with
potential, 1325.160 kilograms residual for disposal and 228.33 kilograms special.

focus on the processing of biodegradable wastes. The 19.25% recyclable waste
generated shall be the basis in coming up with the design for the volume capacity of
the Materials Recovery Facilities (MRFs) to be constructed while the quantity of
residual wastes (18.59%) shall be the basis in coming up with the appropriate
facilities to be established in the LGU.
The above table shows the cumulative volume of wastes generated for ten (10)
years. This is the basis of coming up with appropriate strategies to be implemented
by the municipal government in its solid waste management program. The volume
of biodegradable wastes (67,151.7 kg/year) shows the potential source of organic
fertilizer which likewise creates employment opportunities for the residents. The
volume of residual wastes (20,840.8 kg/d) on the other hand, shall be the basis in
computing the volume capacity of the SLF cells and the lifespan on the disposal
facility. The volume of special wastes (2,512.9) will be the basis in coming up with
the dimensions of the septic vault for toxic and hazardous wastes (THWs). These will
all be the basis for decision makers on the alternative technologies to be procured
that will lead to ZERO WASTE MANAGEMENT.
CHAPTER 5
Republic Act 9003 otherwise known as the Ecological Solid Waste Management
Act of 2000 was enacted in response to the waste problem of the country. It mandates
all public officials to implement the provisions of the law and to be conscious of the
adverse impact of improper waste management and to address the problem.
5. ROLES
To ensure smooth program implementation, various offices and departments
within the municipal government, component barangays of the municipality,
national government agencies (NGAs), non-government organizations (NGOs) and
other interest groups are actively taking part to address ESWM concerns.
Listed below are the various groups and their responsibilities on ESWM:

Program is fully implemented, operational and the constituents are participatory to
all programs and activities to provide environmentally sound and healthy
environment.
Mission
6.2 TARGETS
The projected waste disposal shall be the basis in coming up with the
frequency of collection, number of collection equipment to be utilized and the volume
capacity of the disposal facility.
To comply with this provision, waste diversion targets were set as follows:
6.3 STRATEGIES
Waste Reduction
Each Barangay shall maintain and operate a Materials Recovery Facility for
processing activities and temporary storage of residual and special waste. A record
on the volume of wastes brought at the MRF shall be maintained for monitoring and
as basis for policy formulation.
The LGU, on the other hand, shall also maintain and operate a Central MRF
which will have the following features: (1) Area for final sorting; (2) Area that will
house the Processing Facilities; (4 Area for Composting Facility and (4) Area for the
temporary storage of THWs.
Massive and intensive IEC shall be conducted in all sectors to inform them of
their responsibilities in the entire ESWM program of the municipality.
And finally, to make solid waste management a source of revenue for the LGU,
wastes from CEZA locators can be accommodated in the Municipal SLF for a
corresponding Tipping Fee.
CHAPTER 7
SWM System
Using the Solid Waste Management Profile, other relevant data and the
results of the Situational Analysis, the municipality through the Municipal Solid
Waste Management Board(MSWMB) adopts and implement Solid Waste
Management System that aims to address the concern on SWM from source
generation until its final disposal. It adheres to the four (4) stages of solid waste
management and the compliance to existing environmental laws.
7.2 COLLECTION
7.2.1 Overview
In urban barangays and in areas where tourism and economic activities are
situated, the Municipal Government shall take charge in the management of all types
of wastes. Pick-up points and schedule for storage and set-out shall be established
to ensure the smooth and systematic collection of solid waste. Only segregated waste
shall be collected and shall only be on the date and time designated for collection.
Unauthorized establishment of dumping areas shall be prohibited and considered as
illegal to be dealt with in accordance with law. Corresponding garbage fees shall,
however, be collected to subsidize costs for collection.
The existing dump truck will continue to collect wastes. Regular repairs and
maintenance shall be conducted to avoid unnecessary distraction and inconveniences during
collection.
The collecting dump trucks will have 2 drivers and 6 garbage haulers. To protect
them from handling hazard wastes, they will be provided with protective apparatus like boots,
gloves, mask and even raincoat to use during rainy days.
For cost-efficiency and program sustainability, the initial frequency and route
of collection shall be determined using the WACS results. In the succeeding years,
however, the frequency and route of collection shall be determined based on the
actual volume of collection.
Weekly collection of wastes shall be undertaken using the hereunder schedule:
Residual and special wastes from Palaui Island, the famous ecotourism
destination in the municipality, shall be transported to the fish port situated in
Barangay San Vicente early morning of Tuesday in time for the scheduled collection
every 7:00 o’clock in the morning.

Proposed
Collection
Equipment
and special wastes shall only be brought by the residents to the MRF a day before
the scheduled municipal collection.
The MRF will serve as the temporary storage area for the recyclable materials.
All barangays are required to have their own MRF. For barangays that will venture
into buying and selling of recyclable materials and factory returnable, technical and
financial assistance in setting-up their economic enterprise shall be provided by
higher LGUs.
Existing junkshops and itinerant buyers in the municipality shall also be
organized and strengthened so that they could accommodate all kinds and types of
recyclable materials regardless of volume. A Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with
the junkshops shall be forged to formalize agreements on the buying of recyclable
materials.
Proposed site for the processing facility is the Central MRF situated at
barangay Centro.
Only properly packed and sealed residual and special wastes shall be
accommodated for collection. Safety and sanitary measures shall also be instituted
to avoid foul smell and or thriving of worms or bacteria.

model facility for the barangays to replicate. It will also be a laboratory for
capacitation. The municipal government will provide technical assistance to the
barangays by conducting hands-on training and other capability-building activities
through its technical staff from the Municipal Agriculturist Officer (MAO).
For Composting:
Waste diversion through composting of biodegradable waste will be undertaken with the
following:
7.4 TRANSFER
The Material Recovery Facility (MRF) will serve as transfer facility for residual
and special waste a day before municipal collection. The municipal government will
provide technical capability trainings for the operation and management of MRF,
records keeping and financial management to all concerned stakeholders. The
capacity of the barangay MRF will be designed to accommodate the future demand
of residual and special waste that are temporarily stored in a monthly basis.
The municipal MRF will also function as center for learning where barangays
could get experiential learning in the operation and management of the facility.
Glass Crasher
Plastic Shredder
7.6 DISPOSAL
After establishing the SLF, the Residual Containment Area (RCA) shall no
longer be utilized and shall be rehabilitated in accordance with existing standards
and policies issued by the Environmental Management Bureau.
The table below presents the breakdown of residual and special wastes to be
disposed in tons per annum:
Given the standard that 623 kilograms is equal 1 cubic meter of wastes, as
provided in the “Guidelines in the Establishment of Categorized Disposal Facilities”
published by the National Solid Waste Management Commission (NSWMC), the
cumulative volume of residual wastes in ten years time is 15,980 cubic meters.
Using the data from the above table, the target life span of the SLF was
computed using the formula:
Where:
The target life span of one (1) cell with a dimension of (50m x 25m x 5m) or a
volume capacity of 6,250 cubic meters is equal to 11years. To be able to
The new facility is a category 1 Sanitary Landfill (SLF) designed and constructed
using acceptable engineering standards. Potential environmental impacts shall be
significantly considered in its design, construction, operation and maintenance.
Since the site is far from residential areas, no social resistance in the establishment
of the SLF is expected. In order to ensure the health and sanitation of the residents,
standards shall be set in the collection and transport of segregated wastes from the
waste source to the disposal facility.
The Cell
With the average residual waste generation of 1,600 cubic meters per
annum, the new landfill cell with a dimension of 50m x 25m x 5m will be sufficient
for the next 10 years. Though adequate in capacity, ecologically acceptable
alternative technologies for the recovery of residual wastes shall also be undertaken
to prolong the lifespan of the SLF.
Leachate Pond
Considering the contour of the site, the leachate pond will be constructed at
the lower portion of the cell chamber. PVC pipes shall be used for the leachate
collection lines.
The 14% moisture content of mixed waste gathered during WACS and the average
volume of rainfall in the municipality were the major considerations in coming up
with the design of the leachate pond. It shall be an open facility with two (2) filtering
ponds for the initial and final filtering.

cell
A drainage canal situated at the upper part of the cell’s chamber will serve as
collector for rainwater and uncontaminated surface run-off. This will be constructed
using concrete culvert. Because of its strategic positioning, rain water and
uncontaminated run-off will fall by gravity into the lagoon.
Special wastes shall be handled properly and put to the toxic waste vault
at MRF, later the LGU Santa Ana will put up a vault at the Sanitary Landfill.
Inappropriate disposal of these wastes may cause contamination, toxicity and
detriment to environment. Since special wastes have mixed to other waste, a
vault shall be constructed incorporated to sanitary land fill. Special waste
generators will pay users fee for maintenance. This will be also additional
source of income of LGU. The designed storage vault shall be intended to
accommodate the projected volume of special wastes to be disposed.
Health care wastes (HCWs)of the Municipal Rural Health Units (RHUs) shall
be disposed in a septic vault within the SLF compound while private clinics, hospitals
and other health care waste generators shall be mandated to construct their own
septic vaults for toxic and hazardous wastes. Proper care and handling of these
wastes shall be established to avoid contamination. Only residual, bulky and non-
recoverable wastes shall be collected by the LGU for disposal at the SLF.
In order to maximize the use of the MRF, the Municipal Composting Facility
shall also be housed within the area. Proper coordination with the concerned
agencies and Service Providers shall be regularly undertaken in order to efficiently
manage these Toxic and Hazardous Wastes (THWs) generated within the
municipality.
When the plan has been duly adopted by the Sangguniang Bayan, massive
and intensive IEC shall be conducted to inform the public on the entire SWM system
of the municipality and the corresponding roles and responsibilities of the various
stakeholders. It is a strategy to solicit and strengthen the support and cooperation
of the constituents on the municipality’s solid waste management program.

8.2 Diversion Projections
Waste diversion is the prevention and reduction of generated waste through source
reduction, recycling, reuse, or composting. RA 9003 mandates LGUs to divert at least
25% of all solid waste from waste disposal facilities through re-use, recycling and
composting activities and other resource recovery activities and shall be increased
every three (3) years thereafter.

Monitoring will allow results and data gathered to steer decision making for better
delivery of SWM programs and services.
The MSWMB shall devise a monitoring and evaluation tool taking into
consideration the existing policies on waste reduction, waste segregation at source
and waste diversion. Analysis and evaluation of results shall be conducted to further
improve and enhance strategies in the implementation of the plan.
Incentives and awards programs are necessary to further motivate and boost
stakeholders to participate in plan implementation and ensure their compliance to
environmental laws and regulations.
CHAPTER 9
Institutional Aspects
9.1 ROLES
The full and active participation of stakeholders is vital to ensure the smooth
implementation of the plan. To further institutionalize the implementation of SWM
programs in the municipality, collaborative efforts of the LGU, barangays, private
entities, academe and other sectors are necessary. Hereunder are the future roles
and responsibilities of each stakeholder in plan implementation:
The MSWMB, chaired by the municipal mayor, shall serve as the policy-
making body. They shall take charge in the oversight over the program and will be
accountable to the SB for plan implementation. They shall adopt strategies and
measures to further sustain implementation of SWM plans and programs. The
MSWMB will be supported by its TWG and MENRO.
The LGU through the Municipal and Environment and Natural Resources
Office (MENRO).
The MENRO will serve as the secretariat and implementing arm of the Board.
Hereunder are the roles of the MENRO in plan implementation:
a. It will prepare annual SWM work and financial plans and periodic reports
for submission to the Board;
b. Keep record of all meetings and decisions of the Board, and ensure that
Board decisions are carried out;
c. Collaborate with multi sectoral bodies (i.e., IEC Team, Barangay Speaker’s
Bureau, Volunteer Enforcers and M and E Team);
d. Coordinate with national agencies (i.e., DENR, DTI, DA, DOST), concerned
LGU units and civil society organizations involved in the program.
The MENRO shall have an SWM division that will have three sections: a)
Collection and Transport Section, which shall directly supervise the collection and
transport of the municipal solid wastes; b) MRF Operations, which shall directly
supervise the operation of the municipal composting facility and assist the
barangays and junkshops in the operation of MRFs; c) Disposal Management
Section, which shall directly supervise the disposal of residual and special wastes
and rehabilitation of the disposal facilities.
Barangays
They shall provide support to the LGU in its advocacies on SWM. They shall
enforce proper segregation and waste reduction to CEZA locators and ensure
compliance to existing local laws and regulations on SWM.
The SASEC is an active NGO which supports the LGU in its advocacies on
SWM. They shall be involved in the implementation of SWM programs through
provision of seminars and creation of incentives and awards programs for SWM
implementers.
SAHARRA shall practice proper segregation and waste reduction in its covered
establishments. They shall ensure that tourist comply with the existing regulations
of the LGU on waste management. They shall also support the LGU in its advocacies
through provision of streamers / signage’s in hotels, restaurants and resorts.
Business Establishments
Market, stall owners, vendors shall ensure the proper segregation and
collection of their wastes within their stalls and support the SWM program by
complying the ordinances implemented by the Local Government Unit.
9.2 LEGAL
MENRO
The MENRO as the lead implementer of SWM programs shall directly under
the Office of the LCE. It shall compose of two (2) sections namely; Natural and
Coastal Management Section headed by the Environmental Management Specialist
and Solid Waste and Management and Pollution Control Section headed by the SWM
Officer. Each unit shall be assigned with staff to focus on their respective areas of
concern. For SWM concerns, two (2) drivers and eight (8) utility workers shall be
assigned to ensure sustained and timely collection and other activities.
There are no major changes on the zoning and building policies of the LGU
shall be undertaken since the propose SLF site is already identified and programmed
in the Municipal Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) for such purpose.
To fully arm the deputized enforcers who will serve as “watchdog” in ensuring
the strict imposition of penal provisions stipulated in both national and local laws,
an ordinance shall be enacted. Duties and responsibilities of these enforcers shall
likewise be defined therein.
CHAPTER 10
Public awareness and acceptance are one important factor for effective
implementation of solid waste management programs. It is vital to harness public’s
involvement and cooperation since they are the ones who play a major role in the
successful implementation of the plan and SWM programs.
between and among the MLGU, BLGU and other stakeholders is another major issue
to be resolved.
The establishment of the SLF as a disposal facility will adequately cater to the
waste generation of the municipality. This will enable a systemized and
environmentally friendly waste management.
In it’s totally, the propose SWM system of the LGU and its disposal facility
poses no threat to the health and sanitation of the residents and ensures sustainable
development.
CHAPTER 11
Cost sharing shall be implemented between and among the municipal and
barangay local government units, waste generators and other stakeholders to ensure
the smooth implementation of the municipality’s solid waste management programs.
Investment costs include all facilities, structures and equipment used for the proper
management of solid wastes.
The table below presents the estimated investment cost for ten (10) years and
the corresponding counterpart of each stakeholder in the community:
Facility costs
The table below presents costs for the facilities and structures on SWM for
the entire planning period:
Table 11.2. Facility Costs per Sector
Facility Cost Stakeholders Total
Equipment costs
Investment costs for solid waste management shall be charged from the
Municipal development fund and other locally-sourced revenues. To augment the
budget from the municipal coffers, barangays and other stakeholders shall likewise
give appropriate counterpart fund for the effective implementation of this plan.
Because of this scheme, availing of loans shall be the last remedy for the LGU.
Hence, no amortizations shall be paid during the entire planning period.
Annual Costs
Total Annual Costs by Year per Sector
2019 80 25 86 191
Funding Options
Although loan availment from banks and other development partners is a last option,
the municipal government does not, however, close its doors to avail of assistance
from financing institutions when the need is urgent and necessary.
Recurring or annual costs for solid waste management shall be charged from
the Personal Services (PS) component of the IRA and from the budget for
Maintenance & Other Operating Expenses (MOOE). Revenues generated from the
collection of garbage or environmental fees, imposition of fines and penalties and
other locally-sourced revenues may also be used to finance recurring costs.
To compute for the cost for waste management per capita, the formula below
was used:
Per Capita Cost = total cost/average population
Using the formula above, per capita cost for solid waste management in the
municipality is PhP1.20. This means that for the municipal solid waste
management program to be self-liquidating, an environmental or garbage fee
To compute for the cost for waste management by unit weight, the formula
below was used:
Using the formula above, cost for solid waste management by unit weight in
the municipality is PhP9.00.This means that if the Municipality opts to accept the
solid wastes of other municipalities for processing in their MRF/Ecopark, a Tipping
Fee of at least PhP9.00 per kilogram of waste should be collected to ensure cost
recovery.
Comparison of costs
The figure below presents a comparison of cost per stage. From the same figure,
we can deduce that stage 4 (establishment of the SLF) will incur the highest cost

Summary
A comparison of the cost and revenues presented in the table below shows
that an average annual revenue of PhP4.9 Million will ensure the smooth and
sustainable implementation of the SWM program of the municipality. Additional
revenues should, however, be realized in the Year 2020 so that no budget deficit will
be incurred. Continuous appropriation of excess budget for the succeeding years
can also ensure sustainable program implementation.

CONCLUSION
The Local Government of Santa Ana, Cagayan with the active participation
of all its constituents, commit to undertake all the methodologies and strategies
adopted in this 10-Year Ecological Solid Waste Management Plan. It will strictly
implement the policies regarding re-use, reduce and recycle of wastes generated
and impose the mandatory waste s segregation at source. It will pursue its
direction towards “ZERO WASTE MANAGEMENT” by adopting appropriate
alternative technologies.
