Final Project: Technical Report & Presentation on Environmental Management
Objective: To demonstrate your ability to research, structure, and present technical information regarding environmental systems and legal frameworks.
I. Instructions for Students
Group Formation: Form a team of three (3) members.
Topic Assignment: Each group must select or be assigned one of the following technical areas:
VI. Solid Waste Management (SWM): Focus on the technical lifecycle of waste, from characterization and collection to engineering solutions for disposal.
VII. Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA): Focus on the methodology, screening processes, and technical documentation required to predict and mitigate the environmental effects of a project.
VIII. A. Environmental Laws, Policy, and Ethics: Focus on the technical interpretation of (Technical Focus: Philippine Environmental Law & Policy), compliance standards, and the ethical frameworks governing ecological conservation.
under VIII A only: Core Statutes
Students should use these laws to analyze in detail:
RA 9003: Ecological Solid Waste Management Act (focus on diversion targets and open dump closures).
RA 6969: Toxic Substances and Hazardous and Nuclear Wastes Control Act (focus on the PICCS and PCL lists).
VIII. B. Environmental Laws, Policy, and Ethics: Focus on the technical interpretation of (Technical Focus: Philippine Environmental Law & Policy), compliance standards, and the ethical frameworks governing ecological conservation.
under VIII B only: Core Statutes
Students should use these laws to analyze in detail:
RA 8749: Clean Air Act (focus on emission standards for stationary vs. mobile sources).
RA 9275: Clean Water Act (focus on effluent standards and Water Quality Management Areas).
II. Deliverable 1: The Technical Report
Your report must follow a professional format and include:
Abstract/Summary: A brief overview of the technical topic.
Introduction: Definition of scope and importance.
Technical Content: Detailed data, flowcharts, or process descriptions relevant to your topic (e.g., a waste diversion flow for SWM or a procedural flowchart for an EIA).
Analysis/Case Study: Application of the concepts to a real-world scenario.
Conclusion & Recommendations: Technical summary of findings.
Submit the manuscript (hardcopy) using A4 bondpaper, and Times New Roman 12. And also submit the softcopy at reyarthrublico@spc.edu.ph on May 11, 2026.
III. Deliverable 2: The Final Examination (PPT Presentation)
The presentation is your Final Examination. Your team will be graded on your ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly. May 13, 2026
Format: Professional, readable slides with high-quality visuals (diagrams, tables, and minimal text).
Duration: 15 for the presentation, followed by a Q&A session.
Q&A Requirement: To encourage engagement, each group must prepare at least three (3) technical questions to ask other groups during their presentations.
IV. Evaluation Criteria
Content Accuracy: Depth of technical knowledge and data.
Technical Writing Quality: Clarity, structure, and proper use of terminology.
Visual Presentation: Professionalism and design of the PPT.
Response to Questions: Ability to defend your report during the Q&A.

Water Quality Standards (Local and International)
Water quality standards ensure safety for human consumption and environmental health through,,local regulations (e.g., PH's DAO 2016-08, RA 9275) and international guidelines (e.g., WHO). These include strict limits on contaminants like coliform, metals, and nutrients, utilizing specific pH ranges (6.5-8.5) and turbidity levels to classify fresh/marine water.
Local Water Quality Standards (Philippines)
DAO 2016-08 (Water Quality Guidelines and General Effluent Standards): Sets the standards for different water body classifications (Class AA-SC) based on intended use (e.g., drinking, bathing, fishing).
Republic Act No. 9275 (Philippine Clean Water Act of 2004): Aims to protect water bodies from pollution from land-based sources (industrial, commercial, agricultural).
Key Parameters: Monitors pH, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), and fecal coliform.
International Water Quality Standards
World Health Organization (WHO) Guidelines: Provides authoritative guidance for drinking-water quality and health, emphasizing risk management and Water Safety Plans.
International Standards (WHO/Various Regions): Guidelines often recommend a pH range of 6.5 to 8.5 for drinking water.
Focus: Focuses on eliminating waterborne diseases (diarrhea, schistosomiasis) and reducing chemical contaminants (heavy metals, nitrate/phosphates).
Point vs. Non-Point Source Pollution
Oxygen Demand (BOD and COD) and Dissolved Oxygen Sag Curve (Assignment: Write in a one-whole sheet of paper, expound the topic.) Deadline: March 9, 2026
