ANNEX A
IMPLEMENTING RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE MODIFIED WASTEWATER CHARGE SYSTEM IN THE LAGUNA DE BAY REGION
Section 1. Objective To harmon harmonize ize the LL LLDA’ DA’s s Envir Environm onment ental al User User Fee System System with with the Wastewater Charge System of DENR under the Philippine Clean Water Act of 2004;
Section 2. Definition of Terms Abstracted Water – refers to all the water supply/supplies, intake(s) or sources(s) that is (are) used by an industrial or commercial or othe otherr esta establ blis ishm hmen entt or enti entity ty in any any proc proces ess, s, oper operat atio ion, n, or activity resulting in the generation of water that is discarded or discharged. For industrial parks and/or similar entities operating common common and/or and/or centra centraliz lized ed wastew wastewate aterr or sewage sewage treatm treatment ent plants into which wastewater or sewage generated by locators are discharged, abstracted water refers to the water supplied by such industrial park or similar entity for the use of its locators Domestic Sewage – refers to water discharged after use for personal hygiene and sanitation or other household uses Effluent – is a general term denoting any wastewater, partially or completely treated, or in its natural state or liquid waste flowing out through a pipe or a sin single outlet structure from a manufacturing/industrial plant or wastewater treatment plant Efflue Effluent nt concen concentra tratio tion n in the wastew wastewate ater r charge charge formul formula a – refers to the arithmetic mean of the actual effluent concentrations of priority pollutant parameter (e.g. BOD or TSS) Priori Priority ty Pollut Pollutant ant Parame Parameter ter - refers to that parame ameter or aggregation of substances in the wastewater discharge that has the greatest potential for adverse environmental impacts or risks to public health and safety Section 3. Coverage These guidelines shall apply to all establishments in the Laguna de Bay Region covered by the Wastewater Charge System.
Section 4. Exemptions Exemptions

Industrial Industrial or commerci commercial al establishmen establishmentt interconnec interconnected ted to central wastewater or sewage treatment plant or facility.
Section 5. Discharge Permit The The Au Auth thor orit ity y sh shal alll requ requir ire e owne owners rs or oper operato ators rs of facil facilit itie ies s that that discha dis charge rge any liq liquid uid wastes wastes or regula regulated ted efflue effluents nts pursuan pursuantt to this this Board Resolution to secure a permit to discharge. As such, any person shall file an application in two (2) copies using prescribed forms. The Discharge Permit shall be the legal authorization granted by the Authority to discharge wastewater: Provided, that the discharge permit shall specify among others, the quantity and quality of effluent that said facilities are allowed to discharge into a particular water body, compliance schedule and monitoring requirement. One (1) Discharge Permit shall be issued for one industry/establishment even if with multiple outlets or outfalls or points of dis discha charge rge;; provid provided ed that that the sourc source(s e(s)) of the multip multiple le outlet outlets s or outfalls or points of discharge are from only (1) common project or facility in a contiguous geographical area.
Section 6. Fees for Discharge Permit The Discharge Permit Fees shall comprise three (3) types of fees: i. Processing Fee ii. Fixed Fee iii. Variable Fee
Processing Fee Upon filing of application for a Discharge Permit, a processing fee in the amount of PhP5,000.00 PhP5,000.00 shall be paid.
Schedule of Fixed Fees The fixed fee will cover the cost of program administration including but not limited to cost of inspection/sampling and cost of laboratory analysis. It will be dependent on volumetric rate of discharge per outlet or outfall or point of discharge and according a ccording to the following schedule:
Volume Volumetr tric ic Ra Rate te of Discharge 0 – 30 cu. m/day 0 – 150 cu. m/day >3 30 0 – 15 150 cu. cu. m/day day
Conventional Effl Efflue uent nt with with effluent Heavy Metals PhP8,000.00 PhP 16,000.00 PhP hP1 16,00 ,000.0 0.00
> 150 cu. m/day
PhP24,000.00
PhP24,000.00
Schedule of Variable Fee The The variab variable le fee is based based on the net waste waste load load model model prescr prescribe ibed d pursuant to Chapter 2, article 2, section 13 of the Philippine Clean Water Act and Rule 13 of the DAO 2005-10. Formula for the variable fee, VF VF = Ln x R Where: Ln = Net Waste Load, kg/yr R = Applicable Unit Rate of Charge , PhP/kg Formula for the Net Waste Load, Ln: Ln (PPP) = [(Cf – Ca) (Qf x Nf )] )] x 0.001 Where: Ln = Net Waste Load, kg/yr PPP = Priority Pollutant Parameter Cf = Av Aver erag age e Conc Concen entr trat atio ion n of PP PPP P in the the effl efflue uent nt (arith (arithme metic tic mean for the period period for which which the net waste load is calculated, typically one year), mg/l (or g/m3) Ca = Average Concentration of PPP in the best quality abstracted water (arithmetic mean for the period for whic which h the the net net wast waste e load load is calc calcul ulat ated ed), ), mg/l mg/l (or (or 3 g/m ) Qf = Average Daily Volumetric Flow Rate of the (final) effluent or wastewater discharged (arithmetic mean for for the the per period for for whic hich the the net net wast waste e load load is 3 calculated), mg/l (or g/m ) Nf = Number of discharge days per year, days/year The The Vari Variab able le Fee Fee sh shal alll be calc calcul ulat ated ed on the the basi basis s of only only one one (1) (1) priority pollutant parameter and shall be calculated for each outlet or outfall or point of discharge. While there is no limit for the maximum number of discharge outlets from the entity, establishment, factory, or other regulated source, the division of discharge streams into or among several outlets shall not resu result lt to qual qualif ific icat atio ion n to Sect Sectio ion n 3, (exe (exemp mpti tion on)) of this this Boar Board d Resolution. However, net waste load shall sha ll be limited to industry/establishment who abst abstra ract ct wate waterr from from surfa surface ce wate water. r. If the the sourc source e of wate waterr is from from ground groundwat water er or water water suppli supplier ers s (distr (district ict or servic service e provid provider ers), s), the concentration of water intake shall be assumed as zero or negligible priority pollutant parameter.
Section 7. Selection of Priority Pollutant Parameter For industrial or commercial wastewaters with high organic or biodegradable materials, the chargi charging ng parame parameter ter is 5-day 5-day Biochem Biochemica icall Oxygen Oxygen Demand Demand (BOD (BOD5) whil whilee for for wastewaters with high inorganic or non-biodegradable materials the charging parameter is Tota Totall Susp Suspen ende ded d Soli Solids ds (TSS (TSS). ). In the the event event that that the the waste wastewa wate terr disc discha harg rgee is a
combination of organic and inorganic materials, BOD5 shall be applied. applied. Table 1 shall be used to select the Priority Pollutant Parameter (PPP).

Wher Where e ther there e is only only one one (1) (1) sourc source e of wate waterr suppl supply, y, the the aver average age conc concen entr trat atio ion n of PP PPP P in abst abstra ract cted ed wate waterr sour source ce,, Ca, Ca, sh shal alll be the the arithmetic mean of the PPP concentrations in the single abstracted water source for the period for which the net waste load is calculated (typically one year) expressed in mg/l (or g/m 3). Where there are multiple (more than one) sources of water (abstracted water) used in the process, operation, or activity, that results in the generation of water that is discarded or discharged at an outlet or outfall or point of discharge, the arithmetic mean concentration of the priority pollutant parameter shall be determined from the abstracted
water source with the best quality (lowest arithmetic mean value of the applicable priority pollutant parameter).
Section 9. Unit Rate of Charge The prevailing unit rate of charge of Php5.00/kg for complying and Php30.00/kg for non-complying industries shall be applied until such time time as the the prop propose osed d suppl supplem emen enta tall guid guidel elin ines es of DAO DAO 20 2005 05-1 -10 0 is approved.
