Concept No. :2
General Subject Area: Environmental Impact Assessment Report in Manila Bay White Sand Project
Specific Area of Interest: Environmental Engineering

I. Introduction

The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) is under fire following the dumping of
artificial white sand along the Manila Baywalk. The government defends its decision, saying the beautification of the
bay will “signify cleanliness.”
The white sand is made from dolomite rock mined and exported from Cebu. Dolomite, also known as
calcium magnesium carbonate, is a non-metallic material used in manufacturing bricks, mortar, cement, concrete,
plastics, paving materials, and other construction materials.
The rock originates in warm, shallow, marine environments and is believed to form when limestone is
modified by magnesium-rich groundwater, according to geologist Hobart King. It has low solubility, which makes it
resistant to acid content of rain and soil.
We know it's the material from which the sand is made, but other questions about its possible adverse
effects on Manila Bay persist.
II. Significance/ Purpose
The purpose of this study is to give an Environmental Impact Assessment Report about the Manila Bay
White Sand Project in a positive and negative effect on people, manila bay and, the environment.

III. Project Description


A. Objectives
The objectives of this research is to presents the result of the Environmental Impact Report in a form of a
report to the decision-making body and other interested parties.
B. Methodology and Timeline

 Reporting: This stage presents the result of EIA in a form of a report to the decision-making body and other
interested parties. 

 Review of EIA: It examines the adequacy and effectiveness of the EIA report and provides the information
necessary for decision-making.
 
 Decision-making: It decides whether the project is rejected, approved or needs further change.
 
 Post monitoring: This stage comes into play once the project is commissioned. It checks to ensure that the
impacts of the project do not exceed the legal standards and implementation of the mitigation measures are
in the manner as described in the EIA report. 

C. Expected Output
We expect that in this research we can add other solutions to prevent a worst-case scenario in people,
marine wildlife, and the environment in manila bay.

IV. Resources Needed/ Cost


The resources needed is the cooperation of other researcher and cooperation of NGO to stabilize our
studies.
