Theresa Mendoza 2013106820 Part I. Write the meaning of the following acronyms: (10 pts) 1. LGU – Local Government Unit 2. MMDA – Metropolitan Manila Development Authority 3. 3R’s – Reduce - Reuse - Recycle 4. EGF – Environmental Guarantee Fund 5. MRF – Materials Recovery Facility Part II. Answer the following questions: (10 pts each) SOLID WASTES and HAZARDOUS WASTES 1.

Differentiate the terms “reuse”, “recycle” and “reclaim”. Give 2 major benefits of recycling. Give examples for each benefit. Explain what is MRF? Reuse – action or practice of using something again for its original purpose Recycle – process of converting waste materials into reusable materials and objects Reclaim – to bring into a condition for cultivation or other use 2 major benefits of recycling: any of the 3: Pollution reduction, Resource conservation, Energy conservation A Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) specializes in the separation and preparation of either clean or wet solid waste that are generated by residential and commercial sources.

2. What are the classification of solid and hazardous wastes? HINT: What is Class A to Class F in RA9003 and RA6969? -

Classification of solid wastes  Household wastes  Commercial-industrial wastes  Farm and agricultural wastes  Institutional wastes  Mining wastes  Hazardous wastes  Miscellaneous and specialized wastes:  Residues of sewage treatment plants  Street sweepings debris caused by disasters  Large waste (e.g. construction rubble)  Dead animals  Ash from incinerators and residues from the combustion of solid fuels

  3. What are the 4 characteristics of hazardous wastes?  - Toxicity, Ignitability, Corrosivity, and Reactivity  4. What are the components of a Hazardous Waste Management Plan? What is a manifesto? What is the function of manifesto in hazardous waste paradigm?  - Components:  Preparing an inventory  Waste minimization  Storage & transport  Spillage  Treatment & disposal   Manifesto – is a published verbal declaration of the intentions, motives, or views of the issuer, be it an individual, group, political party or government.   Function of manifesto in hazardous waste paradigm – designed to track hazardous waste from the time it leaves the generator facility where it was produced, until it reaches the off-site waste management facility that will store, treat or dispose the hazardous waste.   5. What are the components of Hazardous Wastes Paradigm? Define and explain the regulatory requirements for each component.  - Hazardous Wastes Paradigm: Waste Generators  Waste Transporters  Waste Treaters / Recyclers   Waste Generators - determine if wastes are hazardous wastes   Register as waste generator  Registration Form  Issuance of DENR I.D.  Prescribed Quarterly Report Form  Storage and Labeling of Waste  Submit Contingency/Emergency Plan  Conduct Personnel Training   Waste Transporters  Registration and Accreditation  Checklist of Information Requirement for New Transporter  Issuance of Transport Permit  Checklist of Information Requirement  Uniform Hazardous Manifest  Prescribed Manifest Form   Waste Treaters / Recyclers  Secure Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC)  Register with EMB  Submit Certificate of Treatment  Submit Report to EMB       

  Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.
