ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS,
RULES
AND REGULATIONS
ENVIRONMENTAL LAW

- body of rules of action or conduct on the


environment prescribed by controlling
authority, and having binding, legal force
and effect. (Black’s Law Dictionary)
ENFORCEMENT AGENCY

• DENR – national government agency which


primarily deals with the environment and the
prime agency responsible for the
conservation, management, development, and
proper use of the country’s environment and
natural resources.
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
BUREAU
The Environmental Management Bureau
(EMB) is the primary office under the DENR
tasked to formulate, integrate, coordinate,
supervise and implement all policies,
programs, projects and activities relative to the
prevention and control of pollution as well as
the management and enhancement of the
environment.
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT BUREAU

The EMB was created under Executive


Order No. 192 or the DENR
Reorganization Act of 1987 and was made
a line bureau of the Department by virtue
of Republic Act No. 8749 or The Philippine
Clean Air Act of 1999.
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT BUREAU

Line bureau of the DENR mandated to implement and enforce six (6)
major environmental laws:

PD 1586 Environmental Impact Statement System 1978

RA 6969 Toxic Substances and Hazardous and Nuclear Waste


Control Act of 1990
RA 8749 Clean Air Act of 1999

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
ASSESSMENT
- a process that involves predicting and evaluating
likely impacts of a project on the environment during
construction, commissioning, operation and
abandonment. It also includes designing appropriate
preventive, mitigating and enhancement measures
addressing these consequences to protect the
environment and the community’s welfare.
EIA is a planning and management
tool that will help government, the
proponent, the affected communities
and other decision makers assess
whether the benefits of the project
will outweigh the negative
consequences or risks on the
environment

10
PURPOSE OF EIA
❑The real value of the EIA Process is in the reduction of
adverse environmental impact as a result of incremental
decision making before a proposed action reaches final
decision-making on whether it should be allowed to proceed
or not.
PURPOSE OF EIA
❑To aid the proponent/applicant on environmental
considerations prior to starting construction works on the
project1
❑To aid agencies in considering EIA results in their decision
making for their respective permitting systems

1DAO 2003-30 of June 30,2003: Sec 1 (b) states - The EIS system aid
proponents in incorporating environmental considerations in planning their
projects as well as determining the environmental impacts of their projects
What is an Environmental Compliance
Certificate (ECC) ?
The document issued by the DENR/EMB after a positive
review of an ECC application certifying that the Proponent has
complied with all the requirements of the EIS system and has
committed to implement its approved Environmental
Management Plan to address the environmental impacts and
to operate within the best environmental practices.
BASIS FOR DETERMINING COVERAGE
( EMB MC 2014-005)

SCALE OF DEVELOPMENT

SENSITIVITY OF THE LOCATION

14
VALIDITY OF THE ECC

❑ Once project is implemented, ECC remains valid and


active for the lifetime of the project (unless otherwise
specified);

❑ The continued validity of the ECC sustains the active


commitments of the Proponent to comply with ECC
conditions and with environmental regulations.
EXPIRY OF ECC

❑Not implemented w/in 5 years from ECC issuance


❑ECC has not been requested to be extended w/in 3 months from
the expiration of the 5-years

New ECC is necessary if baseline characteristics have significantly changed to the


extent that the impact assessment w/c was the basis of the EMP is no longer
appropriate
Prohibition (Sec. 4 of PD 1586)
…No person partnership or corporation shall undertake or
operate any such declared environmentally critical project
or project located in an environmentally critical area
without first securing an ECC…

(…Violation of ECC Conditions)


Penalty of Violation (Sec. 9 of PD 1586)
Any person, corporation or partnership found violating
section 4 of PD 1586 or the terms and conditions in the
issuance of the ECC or of the standards, rules and
regulations issued shall be punished by DENR/EMB the
suspension or cancellation of its certificate and/or a fine of
P50,000 for every violation thereof.
SCOPE OF VIOLATIONS
❑Projects with or w/o ECCs which pose grave and/or
irreparable danger to environment, life & property
(wherein causes are not regulated by any specific environmental law)

❑Covered projects established and/or operating w/o


ECCs
❑Violations of ECC Conditions, EMP/EMoP and other
commitments as specified in the EIA Report
❑Misrepresentation in the EIA Report or any other EIA
documents

CNC AND ECC ONLINE UPDATES
• A tripartite Memorandum of Agreement1 was forged among Landbank
of the Philippines, Bureau of Treasury and EMB on December 2017
that will facilitate the use electronic payment facility (e-payment) for
ECC and CNC applications. The e-payment facility will enable the
proponent to pay the processing fee via internet through the use of its
debit card.

EMB Memorandum Circular 2019-05 for the use of e-payment facility was issued
on 20 May 2019

ECOLOGICAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT ACT OF 2000

The ESWM policy is based on the management of waste in the following


HIERARCHY:

1. Source reduction (avoidance) & minimization of waste generated at source;

2. Reuse, recycling & resource recovery of waste at the barangay


level. Efficient collection, proper transfer & transport of waste by the
city/municipality;

3. Efficient management of residuals & of final disposal sites and/or any other
related technologies for the destruction/reuse of residuals
Role of the DENR

❖provide technical and other capability building assistance and


support to LGUs and other private sectors

programs

❖ exercise visitorial and enforcement powers to ensure strict


compliance

❖ issue rules and regulations


ROLE OF THE LGU
