order to identify and quantify hazards and risks
related to the transport, use and storage of
hazardous materials ? An emergency response plan
(ERP) to mitigate all accident scenarios
identified in the QRA study ? A pollution
control study to assess all pollution impact on
the environment and recommendation of measures to

Philippines
32
Environment Related Issues in Philippines

• Proposal of DENR Administrative Order (DAO)
  establishing the National Ambient Air Quality
  Guideline Values for PM2.5 ( to include PM2.5 as
  hazardous air pollutant) ? The proposed DAO is
  mandating a more stringent standard of PM2.5 than
  the current PM10 policy under RA 8749 of the
  Clean Air Act (CAA) of 1999
• Construction, installation and operation of
  2x150MW CFB Coal-Fired Thermal Power Plant in
  Subic, Zambales? The proposed Power Plant project
  as its perceived environmental effects and
  alleged non-consultation with the Local
  Government Units.

33
Latest on the Issues

• The FPI Environment Committee, suggesting the
  deferment of the proposed DAO until all concerns
  and hanging issues are finally resolved ? An
  FPI-EMB Consultation meeting was conducted on
  Oct. 2012 at EMB-DENR office.
• The Industry would want to request Philippine
  Judicial Academy (PHILJA) Chancellor to intervene
  for industries that might be affected by the
  misconceptions and misunderstandings of
  Phillipines laws as against the international
  commitments.

Thailand
35
General Information

• Thailand steel demand was predicted to rise
  approximately 14.7 million ton in 2011, jump by
  5 from 2010. Its expected that consumption rate
  would be increased to nearly 20 million tons in
  2015
• In 2005, the Pollution Control Department
  developed the emission inventory of PCDDs/PCDFs
  in Thailand. The annual release from Ferrous and
  Non-ferrous metal production were found 19.776 g
  I-TEQ to air and to 98.77 g I-TEQ residue, which
  accounted for 7 and 12.99 of total release
  respectively.

36
External Factors

• The ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) shall be the
  goal of regional economic integration by 2015
• International, green peace, and local NGOs are
  actively involved in any development in Thailand
  especially major industry projects
• Thailands Constitution B.E 2550 (2007) Clause 67
  paragraph 2 under human rights subject ? all
  projects that might cause major harmful to
  communities in term of natural resources,
  environment and health to make comprehensive
  study of EHIA, to have public participation and
  to have independent organization on health and
  environment review before permitting

37
Policies

• Trend in Waste Management and Recycling
  Regulations
• The owner of factory type no. 106, recycling
  materials shops, has to obtain permission from
  Department of Industrial Works before
  transporting the reuse/recycle materials to iron
  steel plants.
• Promotion of Eco-Industrial Town
• The Ministry of Industry has set the eco
  industrial projects as the main policy for the
  next few years. The projects introduced the waste
  exchange and waste utilization within and outside
  the industrial area.
• Promotion of Sustainable Development for Thai
  Industry
• This project might enforced the steel plant to
  use more environmental sound technology to
  prevent the environmental impact. Implemented
  tools using by Thai industry to support
  sustainable development in the enterprise are
  include Cleaner Technology (CT), EMS for SME,
  LCI/LCA, etc.

38
Measures on the Environmental Issues

• In 2010-2015, Thai government supported by JICA
  conducts the development of Pollutant Release and
  Transfer Register (PRTR) project to develop the
  data system to identify the specific chemical
  released from sources
• ? Risk communication process to public to gain
  more trust from public in chemical management
  field of plants.
• Since 2003, Thai government agencies, leading by
  MTEC, has generated the National Lifecycle
  Inventory (LCI) for basic materials and energy
• ? to support steel industry in implementing
  the eco labeling program such as carbon
  footprint, water footprint
