Strategically to prevent traffic-related incident. Whenever necessary, traffic crew shall be organized and assigned to regulate the traffic flow in the area.  OPRETIONAL PHASE  Air Pollution Appropriate and environmentally compliant bactericides shall be sprayed to arrest the growth of odorcausing germs that cause foul odor emanating from the poultry houses due to accumulated chicken manure. Effluents in the impounding lagoon shall be treated with caustic soda or rehydrated lime. Vegetation covers or greenbelt (buffer zone) will be stablished and maintained by planting trees. This is the future will acts as natural filters that will minimize foul odors emanating in the farms. A tree nursery shall be stablished within the farm to replace those worn –out or dead trees. Foul odor may also be mitigated by proper sanitation and housekeeping measures, such as regular cleaning and maintenance of chicken houses and the surrounding, proper collection, treatment and disposal of chicken manure.  Vegetation The project proponent shall undertake measures to achieve a clean and green surrounding by landscaping the designated open spaces with planting of shades trees, ornamental plants and grasses and providing with amenities such as benches and walkways. Roadways shall be planted with desired tree species.  Erosion Regular monitoring of the project site will be undertaken to determine concerns on soil erosion. Ensuring maintenance of the applied mitigating measures supplied during the construction phase will be done during operations period. Possible installations of new erosion control measures will be considered if the problems persist.  Noise Cackling of the chickens during the feeding is the main source of noise. This is an animal behavior that cannot be stopped but need to mitigate although there are only few residents in the area. The large open/ buffer zone of the farm and the wind can dissipate the noise pollution.  Solid Waste A waste management system involving collection, recycling, and disposal of waste generated by the operation. Waste generated such as feed bags/sacks, empty bottles and discarded packaging material shall be collected and sorted for recycling or to be sold to scrap dealers or given to those practicing industrial waste exchange programs. Other solid wastes and garbage from domestic used shall be buried to the compost pits within the poultry farm site. There are big demand of organic fertilizer for orchards and plantation of agricultural farmers around the area. The manure that accumulated under the poultry houses shall be collected manually and placed in sacks and be given free for those requesting farmers. Chicken manure with low moisture content commands a high price. The proponent is thinking about maximizing its economic value by forgiving ties with organic fertilizer buyers. The sludge that will be excavated from the setting ponds shall be disposed as a fertilizer to the tree plant around the farm. Some will be combined to the soil to be used as filing materials to depressed portions of the project site.

Carcasses of dead chicken shall be immediately collected and pre-treated with disinfection prior to final disposal into concrete mortality pit.  Waste Water Output from the operation of the project is expected from the activities involving water usage. There are no hazardous chemicals or toxic materials that will be accumulated on these effluents.  Water Feeding of Chicken Two-thirds of bird’s body weight consists of water. Water helps regulate body temperature and aid in the digestion and absorption of feed nutrients, antibiotics and vaccine. Chicken quickly become thirsty automatic control water feeder shall be installed in the poultry houses for a daily supply of water. The water ration for 30 to 50,000 birds should be 170 gallons a day for the first week. It should be as much as 1,266.5 gallons daily for twelve (12) weeks and so on.  Shower Bath and Disinfection Strict sanitation and quarantine procedures shall be implemented in the farms operation to prevent poultry diseases. Farm personnel will be required to take a shower bath before they could enter and render their assigned task. Likewise, visitor shall be also required to take a shower bath before they could enter the farm area. Shower booths shall be constructed near the farms gate. Water will also be consumed in the dilution of disinfectant. Monitoring of sanitary and plumbing facility will be regularly observed.  General Cleaning and Domestic Used Cleaning The poultry farm is expected to consume around 2,690 gallons of water for cleaning and domestic uses general cleaning and disinfection of the poultry houses will be undertaken only after all the chicken is hauled out by the contractor after 66th weeks. This activity must be done to prevent the building up of disease organism. Washing of the poultry houses shall be made through the use of pressurized water sprayer. It is economical to use because only small amount of water are consumed. The poultry assessment will reveal that the daily farm operation shall consume about 4,500 gallons of water per day. The long interval of 66 weeks before the general washing and cleaning of the poultry houses will prevent high consumption of water. The used of automatic controlled water feeders and pressurized water spray is also expected to contribute to this low water usage generating a minimal volume of approximately 5 cubic meters per day of treatment. Other effluents shall be drained to sewage canals leading to the three (3) chambers, primary, secondary and waste water lagoon. A solid waste separator will trap the manure, dirt and other solid components in the primary aerobics setting ponds. Additional series of treatment shall be constructed if the need arise.  Storm Water Runoff The storm water runoff shall be conveyed to the nearby receiving water body. The drainage system shall be constructed in such a manner as to avoid flooding of roadways and other important area nears at the project site.  ABANDONMENT PHASE In the event that it takes it has to cease operation or transfer its location for any reasons, the project proponent is committed to remove all the structures built therein and rehabilitate the environment as will be indicated in the abandonment plan.

In case that the proposed project will retransferred to a new owner, he will be responsible in continuing to ensure protection of the environment and comply with related laws, rules and regulation. In a matter of undertaking a new project in the area after abandonment the new project proponent shall shoulder the cost of the site development.  Socio-economic Management Measures The proposed project has definitely positive impacts on the socio economics. The project proponent shall undertake measures to maintain its relationship with the local community and the LGU’s of the municipality. Manpower and materials requirements from construction to operation shall be source locally, if available. Used materials such as form of lumbers during construction and waste like chicken manure with rice hulk generated during operation phase maybe provided to farmers for free. Taxes will be paid with local government.  Environmental Monitoring Program A pollution Control officer (PCO) will be appointed to oversee the compliance to environmental safeguards during constructions and operations period in coordination with farm manager. He shall have the following task and responsibilities. 

Assess the effectiveness and integrity of mitigating measures being implemented or if at all possible, eliminate their adverse impacts of the different activities of the project.
