• Methodology and Format for Monitoring Biological Impacts of Quarrying...

Methodology and Format for Monitoring Biological Impacts of Quarrying in Teresa, Rizal, Philippines

The main objective of the study was to develop a methodology and format for monitoring biological impacts of quarry projects. A methodology for monitoring biological impacts of quarrying specifically in Teresa, Rizal, Philippines derived from the study involved triangulation approach: flora and fauna from existing literature, verification of the baseline floral and faunal studies, and validation through ethnobiological surveys. The approach was used in monitoring the changes in biodiversity indices before and after three years of limestone quarrying, and in disturbed and undisturbed quarry areas.

There was a marked increase in floral species richness after three years of quarry expansion activities brought about by the increase in the number of invasive, mostly introduced shrubs, weeds and grasses. Destruction of habitat for forest tree species adapted to limestone areas could also mean habitat improvement for other lesser desirable species than forest tree species.

The floral species density was significantly reduced after three years of continuous limestone quarrying, indicating the devastating effect of quarrying on the number of individuals belonging to a species.

The floral and faunal species evenness and species diversity index before and after quarrying, and in the disturbed and undisturbed quarry areas did not differ significantly. Both plant communities assessed at different time frames and environmental conditions showed the pattern of few abundant species associated with many rare ones. No specific avifaunal species provided extremely high number of individuals.

The format to facilitate monitoring biological impacts of quarrying included a checklist reflecting the species under investigations, its presence or absence in the existing literature, baseline date, verified data, and the ethnobiological surveys.

Information on the species’ conservation status was also considered. Using the format, the biological impacts of quarrying were also determined as manifested in the extirpation of an indigenous forest tree species, himamao ( Dysoxylum mollissimum : Meliaceae); a resident bat species, common bent-winged bat ( Miniopterus schreibersii : Vespertilionidae); and a migrant bird, Asiatic migratory quail ( Coturnix japonica : Phasianidae).

Characterizing the Effects of Quarrying Industry in Northern Philippines: A Mixed-methods Study

Paul angelo a. tamayo.

With the high demand for construction on a worldwide scale, this necessitates more volume of aggregates (gravel and sand) to be extracted from quarry sites, including the Province of Isabela in Northern Philippines. Hence, this study has investigated the social and environmental impact and health-related problems experienced by residents living nearby the quarry sites. The study has utilized concurrent mixed method research design to cross-validate and corroborate findings. Results were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequency and percentage counts as well computing for mean values which was interpreted by a 5-point Likert Scale. Interview document analysis had also been and by taking pictures during the field observation. The quarry sites were chosen purposively considering it to be the biggest and abandoned quarry sites in the province. The investigation yielded that among the five quarry sites, the social and environmental effects of the gravel and sand quarrying operations which the respondents strongly agree with their mean values were dust (4.89), and noise (4.86) pollution, unproductive wastelands (4.74), property damage (4.67), diversion of rivers stream and farming areas (4.63), soil erosion and sedimentation and surface water dust deposition (4.54). On the other hand, the most common reported health-related problems experienced by the respondents was respiratory problems such as cough and cold and asthma. In spite of the benefit of quarrying to the economy, it brings about impact especially to the loves of the people and the environment as a whole. Hence, strict implementation of government mitigation measures should be strictly observed.

The mining industry in the Philippines plays a very significant role in the pursuit of industrial development because of the sector’s ability to provide mineral resources that serve as raw materials for manufacturing, construction, utilities as well as the transportation and communications sector (Raymundo, 2011). One of which is quarrying. Quarrying is the extraction of building and monumental stone, clay, sand and gravel, guano gathering, and salt evaporation (NSO, 2008). Basically, there are two types of quarrying operations, namely, mountain quarrying and river quarrying. The most important products of this activity are rock aggregates, colloquially known as sand and gravel (Israel, 2001). This study generally aimed to find out which among the Five Theses of Political Ecology influences the implementation of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in river quarrying in Rizal, Occidental Mindoro, specifically the different practices of River Quarrying relative to Robbin’s Five Theses of Political Ecology, the extent of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practices in the river quarrying, which among the Five Theses of Political Ecology relates to the implementation of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in the river quarrying, and what policy recommendations may be proposed based on the results. It was concluded that the practices of river quarrying relative to Robbin’s Five Thesis of Political Ecology are high, which means that the said ecological and environmental activity was highly practiced and influenced by political, social, economic, and/or cultural forces; the extent of corporate social responsibility practices in the river quarrying is low which means that the activity has low commitment to manage the social, environmental, and economic effects of its operations; there is no significant relationship in the extent of quarrying practices to corporate social the responsibility which means that the environmental, political, and social causes and consequences of the river quarrying does not influence the implementation of corporate social responsibility, except for degradation and marginalization and building human capital, conservation, and control of resources, and environmental sustainability, environmental conflict and exclusion and environment sustainability, and political objects and actors and building human capital.

The main objective of this study is to investigate aggregate quarrying practices in Quezon Province. The investigation involved mining operators, residents near the quarry areas, teachers, students, members of peoples’ organizations, and non-governmental organizations. A questionnaire, interview, and direct or field observation were used in data gathering. For data analysis and interpretation, percentage, weighted mean, one way ANOVA, and t-test of independent means were utilized. Results of the investigation showed that there was a significant difference between the views of non-operators and quarrying operators on aggregate quarrying practices in Quezon Province. It was felt that mining operation would not prove sustainable. However it was perceived that quarrying brought economic benefits to the people. Among others, the major recommendation of the study is the implementation of the Action Programs intended to enhance the sustainability of quarrying practices in Quezon Province.
